Super Confidence
Bear Quartet · Ny Våg [2002]
It's a regional thing
You probably won't understand
It's nothing I am proud of
But it's part of who I am
Try to see the humor
The amount of self-contempt
Not finishing sentences
My super confidence
Här är det bra
Nästan perfekt
Syrénerna har slagit ut
Och det är trettio grader lätt
Myggen har inte
Visat sig än
Älven ligger blank
Och blickstilla men

Syrénerna har slagit ut
Och det är trettio grader lätt
Myggen har inte
