Country Hell
The Cardigans · Best Of [2008]
What a way to be
I couldn't stay in here
And it's not right to leave
I couldn't tell you how
But all the things I feel
Have their qualities
If you fall apart
Fall into my arms
One uneasy morning
Doesn't make me leave
Such a simple thing
What a way to say
I couldn't help myself
For my foolish ways
You couldn't tell me how
But all the things you feel
Have their qualities
Country Hell

It serves as a testament to their enduring influence in the genre, showcasing a polished production style that defined much of their commercial success.
