First In Line
Thomas Denver Jonsson Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Look me up, with my head in my pocket
Look me up, with my head in my pocket
To see her coming home

Well forgotten, say can't you see her
Well forgotten, say can't you see her
Moving down the line

And it's hard to live and its hard to die
And it's hard to give your heart away
And oh, pretty girl it's hard to steal

In April I was sleeping with an anchor
Thursday I was fishing in the harbour
Where ladies sleep

And the sun will always shine upon your face
As your parents watched the silver screen
Stolen days, when freedom got it's price
After the walk over frozen water

You held me down on the dirty backseat
Pressure of the hand and the fingers
And the pleasure won

I will always, go by your side
But it's hard to get drunk tonight
And It's hard to smoke your mothers cigarettes
Afraid of stealing

Afraid of lying
Afraid of losing my mind.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Thomas Denver Jonsson's song First in Line convey a feeling of longing and yearning for someone who remains elusive. The repeated line "Look me up, with my head in my pocket," suggests a despondency and a sense of feeling lost. The singer seems to be searching for someone and hoping to see them "coming home." The next stanza implies that the person he is looking for may have been forgotten by others, but he is still searching for her.

The song then goes on to talk about the difficulty of love and giving one's heart away. The lines "And oh, pretty girl it's hard to steal" could have different interpretations. It could mean that it is challenging to steal someone's heart, or it could imply that the singer is trying to steal the affection of this pretty girl but finds it hard to do so. The imagery of days spent sleeping, fishing, and the sun always shining on her face, seem to highlight the character's preoccupation with this girl.

Line by Line Meaning

Look me up, with my head in my pocket
Search for me, I'm hiding and feeling down

To see her coming home
To see someone special returning back

Well forgotten, say can't you see her
Forgotten now, can't you see her moving on

Moving down the line
Moving forward in life

And it's hard to live and its hard to die
Living and dying are both difficult

And it's hard to give your heart away
It's difficult to open up emotionally

And oh, pretty girl it's hard to steal
It's difficult to take someone's heart

In April I was sleeping with an anchor
In the past, I was weighed down by my struggles

Thursday I was fishing in the harbour
Recently, I was enjoying simple pleasures

Where ladies sleep
In a serene and peaceful place

And the sun will always shine upon your face
There is always hope and positivity in life
