about
Violin: Christian Skovgaard. Double bass: Morten Vestergaard. Vocal/guitar: Julie Sunflower.
The song was written a few years ago. It is about being single, having fun with your roomie, meeting guys, finding your sound in music and trying to figure out what you want out of a partner and in life.
Hvis jeg ku’ overbevise
Dig om at gå fra Louise
Så ville mit hjerte begære
En anden mand, for du’ da for bøjelig og nem
Så jeg lader vær’ med at gå efter dig
Og går i stedet hen til ham med krøller og si’r “Hej!”
Og snakken hopper lystigt frem og tilbage
Men før jeg ved af det spørger han mig: “Hva’ vil du ha’?”
Jeg vil ha’ spænding i min kælder ku’ sige hverken eller
I en verden fuld af duer vil jeg ha’ en flamingo
Og solskin fra oven, grøn agenda på borgen
Jeg vil ha’ tøj der ik’ er syet af et lille barn
Men jeg ved ikke hvad, jeg vil ha’ fra en mand
Andet en: tillid, modstand, sommerfugle og en masse kærlighed
Lyt efter min vandhane drypper
Og uret er gået i stykker
Men jeg og min roomie Sofie
Vi klarer os fint med vor’ lappeløsninger og lim
Så jeg holder hovedet højt og synger en sang
Og bruger mine eftermiddage på at finde min klang
Og hvis en dag imens jeg mindst venter det
Du skulle komme til mig ville jeg smile imens jeg sagde:
Jeg vil ha’ spænding i min kælder ku’ sige hverken eller
I en verden fuld af duer vil jeg ha’ en flamingo
Og solskin fra oven, grøn agenda på borgen
Jeg vil ha’ tøj der ik’ er syet af et lille barn
Men jeg ved ikke hvad, jeg vil ha’ fra en mand
Andet en: tillid, modstand, sommerfugle og en masse kærlighed

English:
If I could persuade you
To leave Louise
Then my heart would desire
Another man, because you’re a total pushover
So I won’t go after you
Instead I go say hi to the guy with curls
And the talk is going back and forth
But before I know it he asks me: “What do you want?”
I want excitement in my basement
To be able to say "neither or"
In a world full of pigeons I want a flamingo
And sunshine from above, a green agenda in parliament
I want clothes that aren’t made by a little child
But I don't know what I want from a man
Other than: trust, resistance, butterflies and a lot of love
Listen closely - my sink is dripping
And the clock is broken
But I and my roommate Sofie
We do just fine with our quick fixes and glue
So I keep my head up high and sing a song
And spend my afternoons finding my sound
And if some day - while I least expect it -
You should come to me, I would smile when I say:
I want excitement in my basement
To be able to say neither or
In a world full of pigeons I want a flamingo
And sunshine from above, a green agenda in parliament
I want clothes that aren’t made by a little child
But I don't know what I want from a man
Other than: trust, resistance, butterflies and a lot of love
