Chans (Remastered)

Solen gr upp ver stan igentidigt en morgon i maj
Gatorna r tomma
Med kastspt i hand steen gammal man vid en kaj
Du vaknar i nnu en frmmande sng
Du kpte den med smek och smicker
Hon gav dej sin varmaste famn fr en natt
Du tar dina klder och sticker
Du hade allting som du drmde om
Alltihop frsvann p en dag
Det skulle inte hnda dej
Det hnde nd och hon tog vad hon kunde ta
Du kr hnderna djupt ner i jackanoch gr dej klar fr nnu en dag av grubbel
Det blir vin hos nn vnoch en massa snackoch bitter lngtan och trubbel
Men nere i city str en hund och grter
G ner dit om du kanoch ge'n en hjlpande hand
Nn har glmt honom dr han r vergivenoch det str ingenting p hanshundhalsband
Du kan kalla'n vad du villmen jag tror att den hunden heter Chans
Skynda dej ner nu
Du mste nd snart ngon annanstans
Kp nya klder
Kp nya skor
Hr hur trastarna sjunger ver stan
Minns du hur du sletoch var stolt fr det
Du gjorde allt fr dina barn
Du vet att du duger lika bra som nn annans varfr ser du ner i backen nr du gr
Du vill inte ge nnting till ngon lngres d r det heller ingenting du fr
Men nere i city str en hund och grter...
Den hr vrlden kan va s hrd s full av djvelskap
Folk blser varann och blir blsta
Det r snlt och kallt och hrda blickar veralltoch drrarna dom frblir lsta
Men nere i city str en hund och grter...

Chans (Remastered)

The sun rises over the city early one morning in May
The streets are empty
With a fishing rod in hand, an old man stands at a quay
You wake up in yet another strange bed
You bought it with flattery and sweet talk
She gave you her warmest embrace for a night
You take your clothes and leave
You had everything you ever dreamed of
It all disappeared in a day
It wasn't supposed to happen to you
It did happen and she took what she could take
You thrust your hands deep into your jacket and get ready for another day of brooding
There will be wine at a friend's place and a lot of talk and bitter longing and trouble
But down in the city, a dog is crying
Go down there if you can and give it a helping hand
Someone has forgotten him where he is abandoned and there is nothing on his dog collar
You can call it whatever you want but I think that dog's name is Chance
Hurry down now
You have to be somewhere else soon anyway
Buy new clothes
Buy new shoes
Hear how the blackbirds sing over the city
Do you remember how you toiled and were proud of it
You did everything for your children
You know that you are as good as anyone else why do you look down at the ground when you walk
You don't want to give anything to anyone anymore so there is nothing you get either
But down in the city, a dog is crying...
This world can be so hard, so full of wickedness
People cheat each other and get cheated
It is mean and cold and there are hard looks everywhere and the doors remain locked
But down in the city, a dog is crying...
