Do You Remember The Riots? Lyrics - When I Said I Wanted To Be Your Dog - Jens Lekman

Do you remember the riots in Gothenburg 

In the summer of two thousand and one? 

Boy, we sure had fun! 

I held your hand so proud 

It was shaking from what I learned was doubt 

The warm summer sun 

And I saw my face on a screen 

They filmed us from a helicopter 

The most frightened face I've seen 

Red in the face like a lobster 

Do you remember the riots in Gothenburg 

In the summer of two thousand and one? 

Boy, we sure had fun! 

Down the avenue 

Black, black crew are throwing rocks 

At the cop stand then everything stop 

They started a bonfire 

A couple of days prior 

I wanted to do that too 

Burn down the avenue 

And I saw my face on a screen 

They filmed us from a helicopter 

The most frightened face I've seen 

Red in the face like a lobster 

Your hand slipped out of mine 

I couldn't see no love in your eyes 

I knew what I had to do 

Burn the avenue 

I'm not a political fighter 

And I don't even have a cigarette lighter 

But I wanna see that fire 

I just wanna see that fire 

I just wanted to see that fire 

Burn down the avenue 

Do you remember the riots in Gothenburg 

In the summer of two thousand and one? 

Boy, we sure had fun!
