In 1991 the band was completed by the guitarist Lars Lundevall. The new line-up recorded these albums:
Varme mennesker (Warm People) (1991), Neste sommer (Next summer) (1993), Mere (More) (1994), Sent og tidlig (Late and early) (1995), Stakkars (Miserable) (1997), Kast alle papirene (Throw away all the paper) (1999) and Midt i begynnelsen (In the middle of the beginning) (2002). Their debut LP "Suser avgårde" (1986), is regarded as one of their most popular records. The lyrics are very popular because they are very naïve & philosophic. They released their final record in 2002; "Midt i begynnelsen". In 2005, they released a compilation which is named "Festen er ikke over... det er kake igjen." ("The party ain't over... There's more cake left"). New album out now: "Trist å være glad" 2011.
Mørke Mathilde
deLillos Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Pen og snill og søt
Mørke Mathilde er så veldig
God og rund og bløt
Hun er intelligent og vet
Så mye om mange ting
Men iblant så er hun trist
Og klarer ingenting
Men når hun tar på kjolen sin
Og hatten sin da er hun fin
Når hun tar av hatten sin
Da er det bare kjolen igjen
Mørke Mathilde hun er flink
Til å gjennomskue en bløff
Men det hender at hun ikke
Føler seg så tøff
Da går hun ut og kjøper en blomst
Og kommer tilbake med den
Men det hender at de dør så fort
Og da blir hun trist igjen
Men når hun tar på kjolen sin
Og hatten sin da er hun fin
Når hun tar av kjolen sin
Da er det bare hatten igjen
