A fantastic time already
Kari Bremnes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And now as ever she was late
And now as ever she complained about the seating
And the salmon was the worst she ever ate
He was a little bit too easy
A little bit too happy she could see
He sees them sitting at a sidewalk restaurant
And it is spring and they are young and they are free
We better make a plan and keep it steady
He said: I'm having a fantastic time already
They were going to a party just before the end of March
And now as ever she was late
And now as ever she's unhappy with her hair
And wonders how he got his shoes in such a state
He was a little bit too easy
A little bit too happy for her taste
He sees them opening a bottle of champagne
And they are joining in a lovers' sweet embrace
She said that if this evening was to turn out as they planned
He'd better play his part and play it steady
He said: I'm having a fantastic time already
He was about to leave her, it was February fifth
And now as ever she was late
And now as ever she would speak of their affair,
She says, she simply can't accept this as their fate
He was a little bit too easy
A little bit too happy, she would moan
He sees himself in an apartment down the road
Where he can dream his dreams in peace and be alone
She said to him I'll show you we can have good times again
But only if you play the straight and steady
He said: I'm having a fantastic time already
The song "A Fantastic Time Already" by Kari Bremnes tells the story of a relationship that is characterized by the woman's constant complaints and the man's easy-going nature. In the first verse, they are on a trip to Paris and she complains about everything, while he is happy just to be there. In the second verse, they are going to a party and she is unhappy with her hair and his shoes, while he is just enjoying the moment. In the final verse, she speaks of their affair and he is about to leave her, but she wants to show him that they can still have good times together if he plays his part.
The song seems to be about the contrast between two different attitudes towards life – one characterized by complaining and dissatisfaction, and the other by acceptance and enjoyment of the present moment. The woman is never happy with anything and is always looking for something to complain about, while the man is content just to be alive and experience the world around him.
The song also touches on themes of love and relationships, and the challenges that can arise when two people with different attitudes come together. The woman wants the man to change and play his part in making their relationship work, while he is happy just being himself and enjoying the moment.
Overall, "A Fantastic Time Already" is a poignant song that explores the complexities of human relationships and the different ways in which people experience the world around them.

Hvis Du Kommer Tebake Igjen - Kari Bremnes - Lyrics
Hvis du kommer tebake en dag
vil du komme som venn?
Vil du komme som dommer og Gud
eller komme som barn igjen?
Vil du komme på sykkel
så kjortelen står etter dæ som et seil
Vil du komme te han som e fremme forlengst
eller ho som går feil
hvis du kommer igjen?
Hvis du kommer tebake en dag
vil du gå tel ei dør
der det står president eller pave,
imam eller sjefsredaktør?
Vil du heller gå inn tel en prostituert
eller heroinist
går du utenom status og penga og makt
som da du va her sist
hvis du kommer igjen?
hvis du kommer igjen?
Musical Interlude
Hvis du kommer tebake en dag
hvis du kommer hit nu
ka du sir om den krigen som går
om den einaste riktige tru?
Vil du komme te alle med fred
eller bare de utvalgte få?
Trur du ennu tilgivelse sju ganga søtti e veien å gå
hvis du kommer igjen?
hvis du kommer igjen?

En Rod For Alt Det Sote - Kari Bremnes - Lyrics
Så lenge va æ borte fra det enkle
fra det med smak av nu
Og lukt av her
Så uten berøring med dagen
Så avkledd
I fulle klær
Så lenge skulle æ reise
uten å vite korhen
Så lenge med ukjent følge
fiende eller venn
Nu kan æ sønge sanga igjen
Så lenge va æ åpen for det svære
for det med støt av savn
Og stikk av sorg
For melankolien i latter
for stillhet
På fulle torg
Så lenge skulle æ reise
uten å vite korhen
Så lenge med ukjent følge
fiende eller venn
Bu kan æ sønge sanga igjen
Nu kan æ sønge sanga igjen
en blå for et nymalt bord
en kvit for barmhjertige ord
en blank for at du va her
en rosa for gropen i småpikeknær
en grønn for en liten gutt
en ultramarin når en reise tar slutt
en gul en for alt vi skal møte
en rød for alt det søte
