After playing around western Sweden during the spring and summer and finishing everything for upcoming record releases, the chaotic octet Westcoast Backbeat Orchestra felt that something was missing.... Christmas mood,... and what characterizes Christmas best? Melancholy! Excited and under pressure as they actually had a deadline to finish before

lyrics

Out on the tiles
Trying to fight all the world alone
You think you own this little town

With fiery heart
Filling the holes in your restless soul
On your way to lose your mind

Look at you Johnny
Small fish in a big pond
The sadness that dwells in your eyes
Just a feeling you flee from
And you love and lie
You live and you laugh and you love and die
Me oh my!
You love and you lie
La la la la la la la la lie!

Lost in the crowd
Searching for answers that can’t be found
The city lights they blind your eyes

Chasing a dream
But shadows envelop a secret scheme
Turning promises to lies

Look at you Johnny
Small fish in a big pond
The sadness that dwells in your eyes
Just a feeling you flee from
And you love and lie
You live and you laugh and you love and die
Me oh my!
You love and you lie
La la la la la la la la lie!

- - - solo - - -

Look at you Johnny
Small fish in a big pond
The sadness that dwells in your eyes
Just a feeling you flee from

Look at you Johnny
Small fish in a big pond
The sadness that dwells in your eyes
Just a feeling you flee from!
