  • Finland in November

    Since the Nyt-liite review of Better Than Wages mentioned this song specifically, it has become popular! Here is the lyric for scrutiny and for singing along:

    Finland in November

    In Sweden they were good to me

    they liked my style

    In Stockholm you can speak English

    they don’t care

    In Berlin I felt safe

    they thought I was cool

    the old signs of atrocities

    stood in place with new graffiti

    home, can we move home

    anywhere

    but here

    you scare me you bore me

    you threaten me with violence

    I never know what day it is in here

    why all the faces are void of expression

    there’s no happiness in small things

    on November mornings

    In New York I’m breathless

    sometimes voiceless

    but never out of place

    they comment on my accent

    when they pass their business cards

    I’m the Blonde

    and they invented democracy

    home, can we move home

    anywhere

    but here

    In France I could eat breakfast all day

    and be a smoker all my life

    and I don’t even mind

    the strip-me-naked eye

    that lingers on my thigh

    home, can we make home

    anywhere

    but here

    you scare me you bore me

    you threaten me with violence

    I never know what day it is in here

    why all the faces are void of expression

    there’s no happiness in small things

    on November mornings

    Finland in November

    Finland in November

    Finland in November

    Finland in November
