A KIND OF CHRISTMAS CARD 		MORTEN HARKET
------------------------
Intro:    

                    
  All you folks back home
                      
I'll never tell you this
                        
  you're not supposed to know
           
where your daughter is
                   
  there are ways of life
               
you never understood

                                   
  it's right here downtown Hollywood
                             
it's afternoon on Sunset Boulevard
                         
I?ve got a stolen moment trying hard
                    
to write a kind of
          
a kind of Christmascard

CHORUS
                 
But I---am burning out again
                          
Toni---ght there is fever in my veins

 	  
Mama dear
                   
all the love you gave
                        
  I guess there?s really nothing
        
nothing much to save

  I see this place
                     
  It is as dirty as I feel myself
                                              
  There are still som riches - at the Roosevelt
             
That evening prayer those memorise

  in my little bedroom,
      
mama, on my knees
                                       
That?s where i?m at down in Los Angeles

CHORUS
                 
And I---am burning out again
                      
And I---must rise above the shame
                          
Toni---ght there is fever in my veins, yeah
      
        

                                     
Or,   just think of the girl I used to be
                          
You were my age once mama
             
Twentythree
                               
   I can still hear some of the songs you used to play
                             
  From that summer of love in ?68
                            
It seems it turned into a a winter of hate

CHORUS
                 
And I---am burning out again
                          
It?s ti---me i?d rise above the pain
                             
Toni---ght there'll be fever in my veins
                          
Toni---ght there is fever in my veins, yeah
   
           Summer of love
   
           Winter of hate
   
           Ahhh, summer of love
