Lyrics of Montreal

of Montreal

Oslo in the Summertime

Oslo in the summertime nobody can fall asleep

I'm staring out the window from my bed

At 4 a.m. the sun is up

look the sky is peppered with sea birds and with crows all cackling

HVA?

Up in tre ten Heimdalsgate

me and Nina making fun of footballers in Rudolph Neilson Plass

I practice my Norwegian on poor befuddled waitresses

who shake their heads completely at a loss

Oslo in the summertime the streets are strangely quite 'cause

everyone's away on holiday

HVA?

Oslo in the summertime Pakistani children play locked inside of the courtyard all day

Pretty people everywhere sun lamp tans and flaxen hair

Just tell the American not to stare

HVA?
