The Cardigans

[Intro]
Han måste alltid ha på det allra högsta
Annars får han ont i öronen
Och det måste vara popmusik
För annars får han magknip

[Verse]
Someone save the man who lives next door
He's a matter, he's not on your own
Someone saved the man on the first floor
A lonely man who takes fifty pounds for a lack of [?]

[Chorus]
I would love to worry about the things that make you so sad
I would like to know about the things my neighbour understand
I would love to worry about the things that make you so sad
I would love to worry

[Verse]
Someone saved the man who lived next door
But he's not poor with a friend inside his house

[Chorus]
I would love to worry about the things that make you so sad
I would like to know about the things my neighbour understand
I would love to worry about the things that make you so sad
I would love to worry

I would love to worry
I would love to worry

I would love to worry about the things that make you so sad
I would like to know about the things my neighbour understand
I would love to worry about the things that make you so sad
I would love to worry

[Outro]
Öppna dörren en gång till, karl
Så blir det jätteroligt!

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.
