'Son of a Plumber' differs from Per Gessle's previous solo work in that it is a full band, where he is joined by Clarence Öfwerman on keyboards, Christoffer Lundquist on guitar, Jens Jansson on drums, and Helena Josefsson.
Per Gessle has described 'Son of a Plumber' as a very personal album (and project), dedicated to his father. In style the album is similar to The Beatles' White Album, with several references to the Beatles in the song lyrics.
Come Back Tomorrow
Son Of A Plumber Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
a holy place to go to
oh put them on we love to move along
we got them records
i'm happy you could join too
oh put them on we love to sing along
all the good years
you've saved inside a can
just around the bend
and if you like it and you have another dime to spend
come back tomorrow and we do it again
hey it's saturday night
and i'm the lucky one
oh put them on we love to move along
we got them records
hey baby, check that yellow one
oh put it on we love to sing along
i love your dress
i'd love to be your friend
jump in my car
it's big enough for ten
and if you like it and you have a little time to spend
come back tomorrow and we do it again
