Lyrics
I live way up in the north of sweden
The singer lives in the northern part of Sweden.
Don't need to tell you the name of the town
Refuses to disclose the town's name.
I can find the most things that I need there
The town has most necessities.
Enough happens to make time go by
There's enough activity to pass time.
There is only one thing that I miss there,
The only thing lacking is an adequate amount of punk rock shows.
There is not enough punk rock shows
Lamenting the scarcity of punk rock events.
No place where the kids can get together
No venue for young people to gather.
No concerts where the adrenaline flows
No concerts with intense energy.
Down down down to punk rock city
Expresses the desire to go to a place devoted to punk rock.
Down down down to punk rock city
-Down down down to punk rock city
-Down down down down down to punk rock town
-Buy me a ticket to an aeroplane
Expresses readiness to travel and engage in rebellious activities.
Book me a room on a cheap hotel
-I'm ready to go down the fast lane
-I'm ready to raise some hell
-When I sleep I use to dream that I go there
Dreams of an idealized punk rock city, a blend of London and New York during the prime of punk music in 1977.
In my dreams it is a beautiful town
-A mix between London and New York City
-In 77 when the best bands where around
-Down, down, down to punk rock city
Reiteration of the desire to go to a punk rock-centered place.
Down, down, down to punk rock city
-Down, down, down to punk rock city
-Down, down, down down down to punk rock town
-Take me down to the punk rock city - ma, ma, ma take me down
Repeated requests to be taken to a punk rock city or town.
Take me down to the punk rock town - ma, ma, ma take me down to the town
-Take me down to the punk rock city - oh! downtown
-Take me down to the punk rock town - downtown, baby, downtown
-Take me down to the punk rock city - down down down
Continued insistence on being taken to a punk rock-centric location.
Take me down to the punk rock town - take me down down down
-Take me down to the punk rock city - take me down down down
-Down is up and maybe I piss down
A whimsical or rebellious statement suggesting defiance or non-conformity.
