Lyrics Jens Lekman

Jens Lekman

I Saw Her In The Anti War Demonstration

You're looking

For me in the demonstration

Well I have already lost patience

You might find me sitting by

On the pavement

Maybe not cause I have shrunk

I fell in love with a punk

And she took my breath

Now there's nothing left

But love enough to feed a family

I just want to feed Emily

With lukewarm English beer

And vegan pancakes

I saw her in the anti-war demonstration

Was a sweet sensation of love

When I was sixteen

I hung out with the kids who lacked it

And the punks who were born and let her jacket

The kind of punks that place themselves in brackets

She was one of them back then

She was somebody's girlfriend

And I was no one

I had nothing

And the skies were clear blue skies

And her eyes were clear blue eyes

And her thighs were about the same size as mine

And we were walking

In the anti-war demonstration

Was a sweet sensation of love

Of love

It was a sweet sensation of love
