JÓNSI: BOY LILIKOI.


I always thought that Sigur Ros are pedantic and pretentious. But "GO" (2010) the solo album debut of JONSI, singing in English and not in this language invented that insults our intelligence, has great moments like this BOY LILIKOI. Hope you like it.




LYRICS

I want to be a lilikoi boy lilikoi
You grind your claws, you howl growl
Unafraid of all colour
You run, you're free, you climb and dress trees
You reignite
You growl, you howl, you show your teeth
You bite, it's alright

Say no more, use your eyes
The world goes and flutters by
Use your eyes, you'll know you are
Use your eyes, the world goes and flutters by
Use your eyes, you'll know you are

Why me, my boy, you burn so bright
Do you illuminate?
One day you're out, you give up the fight
You slow down heart-rate

We all grow old, use your life
The world goes and flutters by
Use your life, you'll know you are
Use your life, the world goes and flutters by
Use your life, you'll know you are

Electricity wires are down
Rainbow colours fade into brown
I dreamt you were smiling, shifting for good
Courageous boy, now you are gone
And run past the years, no place to go
Your spirit is grand, so life goes on
You are

I want to be a lilikoi-boy ooooh
You grind your claws, you howl, you growl
Unafraid of all colour 

Electricity wires are down
Rainbow colours fade into brown
I dreamt you were smiling, shifting for good
Courageous boy, now you are gone
You run past the years, no place to go
Your spirit is grand, so life goes on
You are ..
You are ..
