This Time, John Lyrics
This time, John, you'll make it
You're back in real time
A second chance so take it
Your film is on rewind
One of us will hit you
the others hold you down
We'll mark you, mud and soil you
We'll throw you in to drown
We'll beat you up as badly
We'll through you out as far
You're struggling just as madly
You're breathing just as hard
But you're still floating X4
You're back in real time
A second chance so take it
Your film is on rewind
the others hold you down
We'll mark you, mud and soil you
We'll throw you in to drown
We'll through you out as far
You're struggling just as madly
You're breathing just as hard

One of Stina's "child murder" songs: this one about John Hron, a Swedish teenager who was brutally murdered by four neo-nazis. See http://www1.us.nizkor.org/hweb/people/h/hron-john/murder-of-john-hron.html
What I love about this song is the freeze-frame of the moment. You can't stop bad things from happening, but you can remember them. The dead aren't truly dead until we forget they lived. "But you're still floating."
