Lyrics: Swedish Farce (unreleased)

Back Out of a Viking land I come marauding

Crashing my very fast car

The concert's beginning, the crowd are applauding

I put on my Strat-o-cast-ar!

Hit the dry ice, turn out the lights

Pose like a dork in the dark

It's such a bore, all been done before

I am a Swedish Farce!

 

Using the clichés that no-one else dare

And singers that Rainbow discard

I sound like Bach on amphetamine sulphate

Played on electric guitar

Born in the fijords, I write the words

They're so bad they barely pass

As meaningful, 'cos they're usually not

I am a Swedish Farce!

 

(Abba section, guitar solo section)

 

Stallions of steel hear your destiny calling

Warriors conquer the Earth!

Wearing my waistcoat I'm looking appalling

Should have been strangled at birth

Shiny silk shirts so naff that it hurts

I think I look really smart

Wish I was more like Ritchie Blackmore

But I'm a Swedish Farce!

"Swedish Farce" is based on "Rising Force" by Yngwie Malmsteen, esteemed heavy metal shredder and waistcoat connoisseur.  Malmsteen's disturbingly numerous recorded works also include the hits "Disciples of Hell" and "I am a Viking" (seriously). And yes, he is Swedish.
