Meet a Bear - Britta Persson

Every fly wants to die around half past nine

On a windowsill

In this old building

Watching the sunset

So do I, so do I, so do I, so do I But not quite yet, first show me Tokyo!

I saw a band with two girls from Japan

They hit their guitars hard and they sang

Words I couldn’t understand

I want to meet a bear before I die

I want to help a teenager say goodbye

To a boyfriend she never even liked

I want to go to Tokyo!

Children used to run in these stairs heading for open air

In-between boring lessons in math and geography

I do too, I do too, I do too, I do too

But I wish you’d say it’s time to play

I saw a band with two girls from Japan

They hit their guitars hard and they sang

Words I couldn’t understand

I want to meet a bear before I die

I want to help a teenager say goodbye

To a boyfriend she never even liked

But whom she thought made her look more grown up I want to go to Tokyo!
