Tuesday 30th of April: We arrived at Gatwick 30th of April, "valborgsmässoafton" in Sweden, everyone is out drinking alcohol by a bonfire. But we were walking around in London trying to find an Internet café where we could find information about rental cars. We finally decided to go back to Gatwick on Wednesday to get a car from there. The rest of the evening was spent at the hostel.

Schizo punk compilation vol. 1

http://ungovernableresistancediyradio.blogspot.se/2013/06/schizo-distro-fanzine-schizo-punk.html

"Spotlicks - Apati (2:05)
Spot Licks - I remember hearing Spot Licks a few years ago & didn't really dig their music. Since then they have grown & this is a different sound to what I remember. They now remind me of Sju Svara Ar & Burning Kitchen as the vocals from the female singer follow the same style as those bands. Its a nice track so check them out."

Felsök

Spotlicks - Felsök (2010)

Ibland letar man fel, ser inte det bra
Gräset är grönare, vad håller mig kvar
Hundra frågor nu, men ger inga svar
Drömmen tog slut och luften blev kvav

Felsök, felsök, plågsamma felsök

Felanmäler livet, blir ej som jag vill
Ibland går det framåt, bakåt, men står oftast still
Rastlös i kroppen, något är fel
Söker något bättre som kan göra mig hel

Spotlicks - Debug (2010)

Sometimes one looks for what's wrong, doesn't look for what's good

The grass is greener, what keeps me left

One hundred questions now, but gives no response

The dream came to an end and the air turned sultry

Debug, debug, torturous debug

Reporting a life, not that I want to

Sometimes it goes forward, backward, but are usually still

Restless in the body, something is wrong

Looking for something better which can make me whole

Fatta att du duger

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i_n6mSbK-CA

Spotlicks - Fatta att du duger (2010)

Spelar ingen roll vem du är

Idioterna väljer vem-som-helst

Känslan av att inte passa in

Du är 14 och vill dö

Outsider i stan

Men du måste härda ut

Blir det inte bättre än så här?

Känns som livet ska ta slut.

Fatta, fatta att du duger,

du duger, duger som du är

Förtryckarkulturer, med sina Queen-Bees

Du fattar ju spelet

Är inte dum på något vis

Men om de väljer dig

Livet blir svårt

Alltid stressen av att jagas

Hållas fast och sparkas hårt

Spotlicks-believe you will do (2010)

Doesn't matter who you are

The idiots choose who-which-preferably

The feeling of not fitting in

You are 14 and wants to die

Outsider in town

But you have to endure

It doesn't get any better than this?

Feels like life should end.

Take, take that you will do,

you will do, will do as you are

Oppressive cultures, with their Queen-Bees

You make the game

Is not stupid in any way

But if they choose you

Life becomes difficult

Always stress of hunted

Be restrained and kicked hard

Youtube2

We will link to songs on youtube and write down the lyrics in swedish, maybe in english too.

Spotlicks - Sitter i skiten (2010)

Du spelar dina falska spel

borde insett att något var fel

Andra vill ha dig, de säger aldrig nej

Men du ska veta att jag ångrar mig

Jag ångrar mig, fy fan vad jag ångrar mig

Sitter i skiten tänker inte slås ned

Hatet inifrån växer mer och mer

Andra vill ha dig, ser ej ditt rätta jag

Nånstans, nångång ska du visa dig svag

Jag ångrar mig, fy fan vad jag ångrar mig

Translation from Bing:

You play your fake games

should have realized that something was wrong

Others want you, they never say no

But you should know that I change my mind

I change my mind, damn what I change my mind

Sitting in hell will not be turned down

The hate from the inside is growing more and more

Others want you, not your right I see

Somewhere, sometime, you'll show you weak

I change my mind, damn what I change my mind
