Sunday Circus SongThe Cardigans

Released: January 1, 1994

Songwriter: Lars-Olof Johansson Peter Svensson Magnus Sveningsson

Producer: Tore Johansson

[Verse 1]
He's lonely
Sitting by the mirror
Awakened by the horses
In circles
Running in the circus

His red nose
Looking damaged in the mirror
Cause no one has replaced it
He's dressed now
Ready to make fun of

[Chorus]
He loves Sundays
And every place
Where his circus stays
He loves Sundays
(Sundays, Sundays)
He loves Sundays
And every place
Where his circus stays
He loves Sundays
(Sundays, Sundays, Sundays)

[Verse 2]
He's lonely
He's sitting by the mirror
Still broken
Undressed now
Ready for a new town

[Chorus]
He loves Sundays
And every place
Where his circus stays
He loves Sundays
(Sundays, Sundays)
He loves Sundays
And every place
Where his circus stays
He loves Sundays
(Sundays, Sundays, Sundays)

[Bridge]
They love his show
Their favorite part
That gives them a laugh
They love his show
Their favorite part
Relaxes their hearts

[Chorus]
He loves Sundays
And every place
Where his circus stays
He loves Sundays
(Sundays, Sundays)
He loves Sundays
And every place
Where his circus stays
He loves Sundays
(Sundays, Sundays)
He loves Sundays
He loves Sundays
(Sundays, Sundays, Sundays)

The Cardigans

One of the most pleasing pop groups of the ‘90s, the Cardigans specialized in sugary confections that would grow annoying very quickly if they weren’t backed by solid musicianship and clever arrangements. The band’s 1995 breakout album, Life, reflected the Cardigans at their most saccharine – the sunny disposition of vocalist Nina Persson being the major argument in favor – and critics inserted the group into the space age pop revivalist camp. the Cardigans later proved that they were more difficult to pigeonhole, however.

Even the band’s origins showed that their later appearance was quite misleading; two heavy metal fanatics formed the group in October 1992 in Jonkoping, Sweden. Guitarist Peter Svensson met bassist Magnus Sveningsson in a hardcore group, though he had previously trained in music theory and jazz arranging. The two later grew tired of metal and decided to form a pop band with vocalist Nina Persson – an art-school friend who had never sung professionally – plus keyboard player Lars-Olof Johansson and drummer Bengt Lagerberg.

All five Cardigans moved into a small apartment in 1993 and began recording a demo tape that entered the hands of producer Tore Johansson later that year. He liked what he heard and invited the group to record at his Malmö studio. Signed to the dance-oriented Stockholm label, the Cardigans released Emmerdale in May 1994. The single “Rise & Shine” became a hit on Swedish radio soon after the release of the LP, and a readers poll in Sweden’s Slitz magazine voted Emmerdale the best album of 1994.
