Offside!

Snippet

Lyrics
In till stan
ut på stan
runt stan hela dan
Kommer hem
kommer sent
inget inget é illa men´t

Söker dej ett tji svar
Ute med en ny karl
matiné
nattsupé
lördagkväll
Grand Hotel

Det är goodbye, goodbye bye
du står helt offside!

Jag ska dra
lika bra
Ny dag är samma dag
Vi har haft
vi har vart
nu är vi som hund och katt

Ringer dej, nej, nej
väljer lätt nån annan tjej
Nån som ser
nån som har skillnad mellan ge och ta

Det är goodbye, goodbye bye
du står helt offside!
Oh oh oh oh oh oh, du står helt offside!
Oh oh oh oh oh oh, du står helt offside!

Rastlös
kastlös
chanslös
svanslös
tar en bil
byter fil
stannar efter 1000 mil
Måste ha en ny vän
nån som fyller kammaren
Ge mej ingen Garbo
bara nån att lita på

Det är goodbye, goodbye bye
du står helt offside!
Oh oh oh oh oh oh, du står helt offside!
Oh oh oh oh oh oh, du står helt offside!

Oh, OFFSIDE!

English translation

Offside!
Into town
out on the town
around town all day
Coming home
coming late
nothing nothing is on purpose

Looking for you zip reply
Out with a new guy
matiné
late supper
Saturday night
Grand Hotel

It's goodbye, goodbye bye
you're totally offside!

Leaving now
just as well
New day is the same day
We have had
we have been
now we are like cats and dogs

Calling you, no, no
Easily choosing some other girl
Someone who sees
the difference between giving and taking

It's goodbye, goodbye bye
you're totally offside!
Oh oh oh oh oh oh, you're totally offside!
Oh oh oh oh oh oh, you're totally offside!

Restless
A pariah
Chanceless
Tail less
Take a car
changing lanes
stopping after 1,000 miles
Need a new friend
someone to fill the room
Don't give me a Garbo
just someone to trust

It's goodbye, goodbye bye
you're totally offside!
Oh oh oh oh oh oh, you're totally offside!
Oh oh oh oh oh oh, you're totally offside!

Oh, OFFSIDE!
