Christiansands Lyrics
Tricky:
My defences
Tricky & Martina :
Become fences
Tricky:
Now I'm stumbling
Tricky & Martina :
I change my face
And if you think i'm fake up
Wait around till I take off my make-up
Here we go again
I meet another one
Her name is
She looks at me
Says I'm the only one
Martina :
I met a Christian in Christiansands
And a devil in Helsinki
I met a Christian in Christiansands
And a devil in Helsinki
Tricky:
Is it getting better?
Tricky & Martina :
Wrote her a letter
Asking questions
Baby steps and sections
I mean we'll take it slow
I really don't know
When you talk
You make me cringe
Silver me to the messenger
Let her go don't question her
Martina :
I met a Christian in Christiansands
And a devil in Helsinki
I met a Christian in Christiansands
And a devil in Helsinki
Tricky:
You and me, what does that mean?
Always, what does that mean?
Forever, what does that mean?
It means we'll manage
I'll master your language
And in the meantime I'll create my own
Buy my own
It means we'll manage
I'll master your language
And in the meantime I'll create my own
You and me, what does that mean?
Always, what does that mean?
Forever, what does that mean?
Always, what does that mean?
Forever, what does that mean?
It means we'll manage
I'll master your language
And in the meantime I'll create my own
It means we'll manage
I'll master your language
And in the meantime I'll create my own
It means we'll manage
I'll master your language
And in the meantime
It means we'll manage
I'll master your language
And in the meantime I'll create my own
You and me, what does that mean?
Always, what does that mean?
Forever, what does that mean?
It means we'll manage
I'll master your language
And in the meantime I'll create my own
It means we'll manage
I'll master your language
And in the meantime I'll create my own
It means we'll manage
I'll master your language
My defences
Become fences
Now I'm stumbling
I change my face
And if you think i'm fake up
Wait around till I take off my make-up
Here we go again
I meet another one
Her name is
She looks at me
Says I'm the only one
I met a Christian in Christiansands
And a devil in Helsinki
I met a Christian in Christiansands
And a devil in Helsinki
Is it getting better?

this video is great...
Apart from being one of the best Tricky songs, it's also just a very good breakdown of a relationship. It's about learning to communicate. I'm not quite sure what the chorus is about, and it's possibly means nothing.
It's about him seeing a Scandinavian woman, him attempting to speak her language etc, her seeing different sides to him as he susses her out.
I think it's just about being wary of people in the beginning of relationships. He met a christian, he met a devil, he met another one (he doesn't even give her a name) . . .
note that christiansands (kristiansand) is a city in norway. and helsinki of course is in finland... so it's kind of a double echo, met a christian in christiansands, the devil in HELLsinki... both in scandinavia, both vaguely religious-sounding... you can spin out a variety of meanings from that, which is part of what makes good lyrics good. but, anyway that's what those words are, christiansands is a place name. took me like 5 or 10 years to figure that out
