  1. This is a song by the Danish band Kashmir.. What dou get out of these lyrics:

    You'd be surprised if you look through the eyes of a nova
    Not recognizing the molehills on top of the star
    Cheerful and swollen he waves from his seat in a rover
    That is his car

    You wouldn't doubt him to shake the most powerful hands of importance
    Changing the world as we know it by leaving his ink
    To judge from the fence 'round his house he must love all his children
    That's what you think

    But there's no time to think
    Have a pill and a shrink
    Just don't show us how you sweat
    Making love to your kids
    Is the last love that you will ever get

    You're a vanishing image of what I thought I knew
    But it comes to show
    That the man I know -

    Is kissing that cheek that he had lifted up for her forty first birthday
    Love is when someone you trust cuts a smile in your face
    Boy had a dog and poor girl had a stroke like an earthquake
    Now dog is a bird

    But there's no time to think
    Have a pill and a shrink
    Just don't show us how you sweat
    Making love to your kids
    Is the last love that you will ever get

    You're a vanishing image of what I thought I knew
    But it comes to show
    That the man I know
    Has a fading glow
    In a white lampshade

    Tell me lampshade the truth did you cover his soul
    Did you protect all the horrible
    I shall tear you apart so that everyone knows
    What he's been carrying around

    Tell me lampshade what is it you are trying to hide
    Under your stinky old corduroy
    I shall rip and be shattered by the sharpnell of light
    That I've been choking on always

    There is a dog barking close within the range of my ear
    Sounds like he wants to escape the chain
    He would probably bite me to death if he could
    But the chain lets me spit in his face

    Like the dog has a chain clinging tight to it's neck
    This man is tied to his secrecy
    I would like to have killed him off in the last verse
    But instead I removed his lampshade
    His lampshade
