:First Day in Spring
Lucky you
Someone else was found
In the ruins of a pulled-down house
While away you were watching them
For a morment
It all looked so bright
Their first-born child
Had peculiar ways
They made sure that you wouldn't have
Lucky you
Till the body was identified
You had every chance
The first day in spring
Ant the police were there
I had to go out for a while
Down in the docks the ice had just broken
They were trying
To remember your smile
They're restoring your alley
Putting waste baskets in the sidewallks
Your mother confirmed
It all happend quite fast
Spring was here in a day

Hi Lori,
Here's a link you may want to look at;
http://www.stinanordenstam.net/html/lyrics.html
Contains lyrics for Walk, First Day In Spring, etc. But not The Miracle and Why Don't We Do It Together.

Hi Ruth,
I think your interpretation of the lyrics sounds better, but according to numerous web lyric sites (reliable?) it is indeed ..."on your card".
In context the credit card reference does feel right though, with wanting to break free from the shackles of The City (in a mildly Radiohead-esque way);
"Away from flickering nights and crowded streets
Away from blinding lights and shining needs
Away from person hiding, breathing hard
Away from always paying on your card
This will be my way out
And you will be my guide
Don?t argue, take me to the sea"

I seriously once thought (for several months until I saw the lyrics) that Stina may have been using sexual swear words in 'To The Sea';
"Away from flickering nights and crowded streets"
was thus;
"And then from f*@*ing nights and crowded still"
Granted, my version of the lyrics made as much sense as a box of frogs, but there you go.

I agree totally with Ruth about 'To the sea'-I don't think any of the sources for the lyrics of it are official,and I think she sings 'on your guard'.
There is a poor attempt to do 'Slow piece' on a Vangelis lyrics site,but then it's really difficult to make out what she's singing there.
I've had several attempts at 'Miracle' and 'Why don't we' and appealed for help at CQD (but got none
).I might put up my attempts sometime.I have two live versions of both songs which makes it a bit easier.
'First day' is on Travis' site.
If you Google 'Walk ' with FLESHQUARTET rather than Wadling you may come up trumps.I used to have the CD,but I sold it to ....RobB!!

See,this is why I want people to join me in a 'discuss Stina songs' thread!
'First day'-That is a particularly weird one,but I'm not certain that the lyrics as published on the web are official.As to what it's about,I'm no wiser than you except that it has that unsettling sense that Stina brings to a lot of her songs.It also has those three choirboys who turn up on 'Little star'.'Crime' and 'Murder in Mairyland Park'which are all songs that (in my book) mix up feelings of love with feelings of guilt and something even more disturbing,murder/suicide/death,which the presence of the angelic choirboys adds a peculiarly powerful frisson to...
