The town Arvika, Sweden, is the home of the music festival Arvikafestivalen. And also the home of big american cars in sweden. It’s also the first (but not the last) swedish festival Lacrosse was invited to play at.

So, what was it like? Well, we had a lot of fun and the small but dedicated crowd had even more fun. If you understand the language of swedish you can check out a review of the show. It says stuff like “I’ve never seen the stage crew dance so much during a concert”

All in all it was a grand start of our summer, and now we all take a couple of weeks off, almost like vacation and then we’re off to england to Lacrosse the hell out of the british too!

GO EGO GO

Noone listens to you - But you keep talking cause thats what you do
You need a new dictionary - There are more words than me, me, me, me

So if you got something to say – this is the time
If you got something to tell me – this might be your last chance
You have my attention now babe

So go ahead, go ahead, go ahead, go ahead
I’m listening, c’mon and tell me everything
So go ahead, go ahead, go ahead, go ahead
I’m listening so spit it all out

You can’t be right all the time - You can’t be wrong all the time
I’m sorry for the things that i do - From now on I’ll be friendly to you

So if you got something to say – this is the time
If you got something to tell me – this might be your last chance
You have my attention now babe

Go ahead now, baby don’t be shy, noones blaming you, and there’s no right or wrong
Go ahead now, baby don’t you cry, I will count to 5, and that’s the time you got
Go ahead now, you were right once, I don’t remember when, but it could happen again
Go ahead now, baby dont be shy, tell me everything, just tell me everything

Now it’s finally summer. And then as usual the members of Lacrosse dress up as their favourite animal; the ant. Lacrosse will play in these cities this summer. Don’ t miss the ant-themed shows…

Ok, we recieved some threats from people who want all of the lyrics from the secret stash of Lacrosse lyrics. And we doesn’t have the manpower or physical strength to say no to these people. So here’s the second song…

Song: You can’t say no forever

Album: This new year will be for you and me

There are still some things I’d like to say to you
Some things you should see
but since were not that close no more
I’m gonna have to let it be

Although it’s really annoying,
and is bugging me a lot
Im just gonna be quiet,
and maybe you will work it out - but i doubt it

You cant say no forever, no no no,
sometimes you should let it slide, ah ah ah aaaah,
I know I’m not so clever, no no no no,
but you’re not the picky kind

Sometimes when I call you,
I just feel like hanging up
You’re not getting any older
and it never seems to stop

Now if I was you’re boyfriend/girlfriend,
I would tell you all of this
But since we’re not together
I’m not saying anything at all

You cant say no forever, no no no,
you have to let me in, ah ah ah aaaah,
You are really stubborn, no no no no,
but in the end I always win

Badadaaddadaddadaaaaaaa bada da ba da da
