He subsequently released albums for a number of labels, including: Racing Junior, City Slang, Misra Records, Track & Field, and Make My Day Records.
In August 2006, Saint Thomas released a new album, officially his sixth, There's Only One of Me, on his own label, Cornerman Records. The album was also licensed to Make My Day Records for release in Germany, Austria & Switzerland and to yesboyicecream records for release in the UK and Ireland.
On the 10th of September 2007, Hansen was found dead in his home. Coroner's exams determined that he had died 5 days earlier of what was described as "an unfortunate combination of prescribed drugs". He was 31 years old.
Vi vil alltid elske musikken din, Thomas.

St. Thomas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Never told a story so sore
Hey, baby, take a look at me
I think I'm ready for the kick-down
I can never give you in
Have you ever seen my chin
An umbrella is dancing on the corner
Now everything is beyond her
Oh, there are horses everywhere
Little dogs barking at the chair
Oh, please get out of my hair
Small elephants doing their distance
Well, what do I tell you now
Will you ever know somehow
Please do not understand
That I am a normal man
Hey hey, ho ho
You can take a look at the bozo
You can make a rest somewhere
You can have my chair
Hey hey, ho ho
You can take a look at the bozo
You can make a rest somewhere
You can have my
I've never seen a cowboy before
Never told a story so sore
Hey, baby, take a look at me
I think I'm ready for the kick-down
I can never give you in
Have you ever seen my chin
An umbrella is dancing on the corner
Now everything is beyond her
Oh, there are horses everywhere
Little dogs barking at the chair
Oh, please get out of my hair
Small elephants doing their distance
Well, what do I tell you now
Will you ever know somehow
Please do not understand
That I am a normal man
Hey hey, ho ho
You can take a look at the bozo
You can make a rest somewhere
You can have my chair
Hey hey, ho ho
You can take a look at the bozo
You can make a rest somewhere
You can have my chair
The lyrics to St. Thomas's song "The Cool Song" are somewhat surreal and abstract, with imagery that seems to be drawn from a fever dream or a hallucination. The song opens with the singer declaring that he has never seen a cowboy before and has never told a story so "sore," suggesting a sense of vulnerability or pain. He then addresses an unnamed person, urging them to take a look at him and announcing that he's "ready for the kick-down," although it's not precisely clear what that phrase means.
The lyrics become even stranger in the second verse, with references to horses, barking dogs, and small elephants. The singer seems to be attempting to communicate something to the listener, asking if they will "ever know somehow," but ultimately admitting that he is a "normal man" who is perhaps struggling to express himself. The song concludes with a repetition of the earlier lines and a repeated chorus urging someone to "take a look at the bozo" and have his chair. Overall, the lyrics suggest a sense of disorientation and a longing for connection or understanding.
