On a train on your own you get off at the last station It is clean it is cold it is calm it's stressing you up You're insane, you're insane, you're insane, you're the same as you used to You got to change, you got to change to something you're not, always In your eyes, in your eyes, in your mouth, in your mouth, can you feel it In your eyes, in your eyes, in your mouth, in your mouth, now You find yourself stuck in some kind of circle You had your chance, had it all now you have it all wrong could we run, could we hide, could we go some place secret anytime they will know what we are they will hunt us down In your eyes, in your eyes... Ready steady go, ready steady go. You got to let go. If you run you can win Oh when you say we are silly we're nothing but numbers We're running random we're number on plastic cards You are insane, you're insane, you're insane, you're the same as you used to Hear so many voices you got to be something you're not In your eyes, in your eyes... Ready steady go, ready steady go You got to let it go If you run you can win But you turn me on You're all used up Can you read my mind

Do you know if this is a mistake do you know which way to go Such a relief your whole body shaking You're so excited 'cause you don't know where to go Close your eyes you know it's Monday morning close your eyes Monday's back again Sometimes it is better, sometimes it is well, sometimes it's worse Do you know if it really matters do you know if anybody care Such a relief to know you're not immortal You're so excited 'cause you don't have to go Close your eyes you know it's Monday morning close your eyes Monday's back again Sometimes it is better sometimes it is well, sometimes it's worse yeah yeah yeah Sometimes it is better, sometimes it is Close your eyes you know it's Monday morning close your eyes Monday's back again Sometimes it is better, sometimes it is well, sometimes it's worse

about

In fall 1998 the band was in turmoil with both ups and downs making its
marks on the band. After two quite successful albums at Massproduktion they got signed to Universal and released the artistically brilliant but commercially unsuccessfully Six-O-Seven and got dropped.
Lars Bygdén who played guitar on Six-O-Seven also left to start The
Thousand Dollar Playboys.
Many bands should have given up in that kind of situation but a great gig transmitted on Swedish National radio at Popstad Sundsvall early 1999 and the brilliant move by the bands guitar technician Henke Svensson to pick up the guitar dropped by Lars Bygdén, put the enthusiasm back in the band and focus on a new beginning.
They found a new partner in Stefan Brisland-Ferner from Garmarna and
started to build a studio together. The cooperation with Stefan in the
producerseat meant a new focus and new sounds and even the fact
that the bass player Magnus Jönsson left for a photo career in Stockholm did not affect the band and the search for new grounds.
Four songs were recorded during these sessions.
These two songs "Skalka" & "Monday" have never been released before, with the exception that Skalka was a bonus track on the Japanese version of the Trampoline album in 2003.
Skalka was frequently played live (and is still requested) but have never
been officially released even though a video was made by Johan
Markusson which was the band most played video on Youtube until it
somehow crashed. The track was inspired by Skalka – a suburb to Prague at the end of the subway line that singer Mikael Andersson-Knut and Johan Markusson spent some days during inter railing.
Just one track of the cooperation with Stefan have been released before
the track "Like a Star" on the great success-album Trampoline in 2002.
When The Confusions 20 years anniversary was coming up we remembered the two tracks and found that they still have not aged and could have been written by the band today. So with great pride we now release these two great tracks from 1999.
