Jag är född i en spökstad
där alla vet att jorden är platt
Jag växte upp i en spökstad
där torget blir ett slagfält varje natt

En dröm för dej, en dröm för oss som längtar
efter nån som håller om oss hårt
En lögn för mej, en lögn för oss som väntar
på svaret som ni aldrig kommer få
Tror du att kärlek är som sångerna vi hör?

Jag har sålt min själ till ett bolag
som aldrig kunnat skilja rätt från fel
Jag blev kär i en spökstad
du, du, du gör mej hel

En dröm för dej, en dröm för oss som längtar
efter nån som håller om oss hårt
En lögn för mej, en lögn för oss som väntar
på svaret som ni aldrig kommer få
Tror du att kärlek är som sångerna vi hör

som sångerna vi hör
som sångerna vi hör
som sångerna vi hör

En dröm för dej, en dröm för oss som längtar
efter nån som håller om oss hårt
En lögn för mej, en lögn för oss som väntar
på svaret som ni aldrig kommer få
Tror du att kärlek är som sångerna vi hör

som sångerna vi hör
som sångerna vi hör
som sångerna vi hör

    "A dream for you, a dream for us who long for someone to hold us tightly A lie for me, a lie for us who wait for the answer we'll never get Do you think love is like the songs we hear?"

    A lovely song. I'm guessing the title ("Ghost Town") refers to the idea of a 'true love' that you'll never find. It's something he/we know is made up, yet it's not something he's/we're willing to give up hope on.

    I think the title Spökstad/Ghost town refers to Eskilstuna, where the members of Kent grew up, and small towns in general. "Jag är född i en spökstad/I am borned in a ghost town där alla vet att jorden är platt/where everyone know that the earth is flat" I think that lines mean that people are too indifferent to question what they hear..

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
