"SWEDISH BOY" LYRICS:

Do sunless times make you thoughtful? Is there more to brood about with snow in your blond hair? Is every kind of thought, every kind of pleasure lawful? Is it true that you all really care? And when I try to ask you why, why can't everything be as it is in your country? Little joy, my Swedish boy, it seems to me… you live in a made-up country. It's something you'd make up when you were sleeping. It's something you'd make up when you were high. It's something the gods would make while they're dreaming. It's something you'd make up when you were five.And when I try to ask you why, why can't everything be as it is in your country? Little joy, my Swedish boy, it seems to me, you live in a made-up country. Little joy, little joy, Swedish boy.

"While Alex Lilly's sweet, girl-next-door vocals may have once backed fellow L.A. residents and pop-devouts the Bird and the Bee pipes take center stage for solo project Obi Best. And Capades, Lilly's debut album under the moniker, validates her step into the limelight." Spin.com
