about

One of my favorite songs in my days of gallivanting in university was Papas Fritas’ “The Way You Walk”. I think that song pulsates with so much sexiness. “How The Numbers Work” is my awkward attempt at re-writing that song, but with the baritone of Erlend Oye this time around. I’m one to admit that I’m not very good at writing guitar solos, but I’m happy with this one’s.

lyrics

HOW THE NUMBERS WORKS

You, I reckon you misread the written signs
Well, here's a record of the times you were unkind
Please kindly step behind the dotted line
I'll give you credit for the times you've tried

To give a final answer to the question that bothered my mind

If we can shake the world
And find out in the summer
Now that's how the numbers work

If we can fake it
And pretend we're past the trauma
Now that's how the numbers work

Sunshine
It's living in the mind
(In the mind)

You, you've stolen diamonds and committed crimes
Well, here's a demonstration of what I can find
Please make me pocket all the golden lines
I'll give you leverage for the times you've tried

To give a final answer to the question that bothered my mind

Sunshine
It's living in the mind
(In the mind)
