A song I wrote in 2000 and recorded the year after. It's about my dear old home town Luleå where I grew up and it's accompanied by different photos taken in Luleå and its surroundings. I love Luleå and will probably always love Luleå ... but it's a tough love. the lyrics: ANOTHER GREY REMOVAL VAN PREPARES TO LEAVE THE TOWN THE MAN PUTS ON HIS RAINCOAT, KICKS THE TIRES WITH A FROWN ITS TIME TO LEAVE THE HOME TOWN HIS HOME FOR ALL THESE YEARS HE BITES HIS LIPS AND BLOWS HIS NOSE, BUT STILL CANT FIGHT THE TEARS THERES NO WORK, THERES NO FUTURE, THERES NO OTHER WAY TO GO HE HASNT GOT A CHOICE, THATS WHY HES FEELING LOW THERE WILL BE MANY HOURS DRIVING UNTIL HE FINALLY WILL ARRIVE HIS DEAR HOME TOWN IS DYING, BUT HE, HE MUST SURVIVE HOME SWEET HOME, I DONT CARE HOW SWEET YOU ARE SOME DAY YOU MUST SHOW THAT YOU REALLY CARE WHY SHOULD WE CARE FOR YOU IF YOU DONT CARE FOR US CONSIDERATION IS SOMETHING THAT YOU SHARE I THINK THAT IDEA IS PRETTY FAIR HES LOOKING ON HIS WRIST WATCH, ITS TIME TO TODDLE ON HIS FRIENDS HAVE LEFT SOME YEARS AGO, HIS ENEMIES TOO ARE GONE THE NEW PLACE IN THE NEW TOWN WILL PROBABLY BE ALL RIGHT BUT THE HOME IS STILL THE HOME, AND THE MEMORIES ARE BRIGHT ITS SAD TO SEE A TOWN DIE, ESPECIALLY BY ITS OWN HAND ITS SAD TO SEE THE DIAMOND STARS REDUCED TO SHABBY SAND BUT THE STRONG SURVIVE AND THE WEAK WILL DIE, THATS THE SCENERY TODAY SO HE ENTERED THE VAN, CLOSED THE DOOR, AND THEN HE DROVE AWAY HOME SWEET HOME, I DONT CARE HOW SWEET YOU ARE SOME DAY YOU MUST SHOW THAT YOU REALLY CARE WHY SHOULD WE CARE FOR YOU IF YOU DONT CARE FOR US CONSIDERATION IS SOMETHING THAT YOU SHARE I THINK THAT IDEA IS PRETTY FAIR
