The Cold Swedish Winter lyrics

I met her in a snowstorm 
I was outdoors plowing 
She just walked up to me and said 
'Hey boy, how's it going?' 
I admired her straight-forwardness 
And brushed away my fringe 
As a signal of well-being 
And accepting her challenge 
We went home to her place 
And cooked up some chili 
Warmed us from the inside 
'cause the outside was chilly 
We had to be quiet 
To not wake up her family 
But I made a high pitched sound 
When her cold fingers touched me 
She said "shhh 
Please be quiet 
I know you don't want to 
But please deny it" 
She said "shhh 
Please be quiet 
I know you don't want to 
But please deny it" 
When people think of Sweden 
I think they have the wrong idea 
Like Cliff Richards who thought it was just 
Porn and gonorrhea 
And Lou Reed said in the film 
"Blue in the face" 
That compared to New York City 
Sweden was a scary place 
They seem to have a point 
After meeting with this girl 
Maybe not Cliff Richards 
But Lou has surely met her 
The doubt in her eyes 
When I said I wanted to kiss her 
For the sake of liking her 
And not because of the blizzard 
She said "shhh 
Please be quiet 
I know you don't want to 
But please deny it" 
She said "shhh 
Please be quiet 
I know you don't want me 
But please deny it" 
'Cause the cold Swedish winter 
Is right outside 
And I just want somebody 
To hold me through the night 
The cold Swedish winter 
Is right outside 
And I just want somebody 
To hold me through the night 
In two thousand years 
This place will be covered by ice 
And the people who will dig us up 
Will be in for a big surprise 
After carefully studying 
Our calcium-nourished bones 
They'll find enclosed 
Our hearts of stone 
Singing the cold Swedish winter 
Is right outside 
And I just want somebody 
To hold me through the night 
The cold Swedish winter 
Is right outside 
And I just want somebody 
To hold me through the night
