Good Morning, Herr Horst Lyrics

I've been walking down the street
With a Tambourine on my feet
I'm holding every beat steady and low
Well if it would've been me
I would have turned into the factory
And chase that little girl back and blue

Now I'm bleeding
And I'm freezing
And I'm crying one again
For monday glass
For monday glass

So if you see me on the street
Don't ask me about my passing days
Just slip another coin
And walk away

Lai Lai LaLaLaLaLai LaLaLaLaLa
LaLai LaLai LaLai LaLai LaLai
La La La La La
(x2)

I once had a love of mine
With a different heart
In another time
I blew that off with pills and alcohol

I once had a child of mine
With a different heart
In another time
I blew that off with booze and lack of soul

Now I'm bleeding
And I'm freezing
And I'm crying one again
For monday glass
For monday glass

So if you see me on the street
Don't ask me about my passing days
Just slip another coin
And walk away
Yes, slip another coin
And walk away

Lai Lai LaLaLaLaLai LaLaLaLaLa
LaLai LaLai LaLai LaLai LaLai
La La La La Lai

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Actually, it is about a well-known homeless man called Horst who lives in Stockholm. I read that in a interview with the band. However, one of the best songs on the new album!

Horst is a German seaman from HAmburg. He is pretty famous is Stockholm, cause he is "playing" the harmonica like a madman. One night Björn and Gustaf were pretty drunk and stumbled into his bed" he had prepared on the street. Even though they apologized, Horst was really pissed and so they wrote this song as an apologize. Nice idea...=)

I like the rhythm. I think they somewhere stated this song was about a homeless person, begging for money. But I am not sure. My favourite lyrics in that are "Now I'm bleeding / And I'm freezing / And I'm crying once again / For Monday glass / For Monday glass" - whatever Monday glass means ... maybe alcohol? I really haven't got a clue!
