ALL I WANT TO DOHere comes summer

Beaming in through my bedroom window

There’s a song on the radio

You used to hum back then

Here comes summer

Still feels fresh as morning air

Today I’ll just stay here

And do, well, whatever

I’ll do whatever

Please, make summer last forever

All I want to do

Is sit here on my balcony

And think about you and me

And how happy we could be

Here comes summer

Picking flowers in the early hours

Without a care in the world

Except perhaps for bees and birds

Here comes summer

I guess I’ll stick to my master plan

Stay away from sea and sand

And do, well, whatever

Here comes summer

Beaming in through my bedroom window

There’s a song on the radio

You used to hum back then

Here comes summer

Still feels fresh as morning air

Today I’ll just stay here

And do, well, whatever

I’ll do whatever

Please, make summer last forever

All I want to do

Is sit here on my balcony

And think about you and me

And how happy we could be

Here comes summer

Picking flowers in the early hours

Without a care in the world

Except perhaps for bees and birds

Here comes summer

I guess I’ll stick to my master plan

Stay away from sea and sand

And do, well, whatever

Sleeping beauty, where have you been

You should know, I’m counting on you here

Feels like clouds beneath your wings

It is night, you see it as it is

It is dark, have mercy on us all

You should know, I’m counting on you here

His kiss, his kiss, his kiss... of spring

Let’s talk about the weather

And the snow

Falling from the heavens like crystal feather

The power of the powder

The silence screams louder

I feel cold!

This is a nation on hold

It’s the chill

Without the thrill

I’m waiting for spring to come to my kingdom

I manage to get down to the coffee shop

It’s the big freeze, I feel like a pork chop

Jesus it’s cold, must be a million below

Nowhere to go, and the snow still falling

Everything’s gone white

Still nothing looks bright

There’s no signs of daylight

Every day is like eternal night

I’m out of here soon

I might be back in June

BIOGRAPHYThe band began as a project between Ulf, and Jo in Oslo,

Norway in winter 2000 and 2001. Beginning as an instrumental

and sampled vocal project, they were signed for a track on a

compilation by Beatservice Records in winter 2001. On hearing

the finished track, label manager Vidar Hanssen signed the

unnamed band for a full album. During early summer 2001, Ulf

and Jo recorded most of the album and Anja improvised the

vocals. After their vocals, Jo layered the guitars, but it would

be a year before the album would be completed and released.

In spring 2002, the band was known as Flunk and they released

their first single, a cover of New Order’s Blue Monday in April.

The track was well received in the UK and was included on

numerous compilations in North America and Europe. Later in

April, their debut album For Sleepyheads Only was released

which garnered great reviews in Norway. With the success of

their album, BBC invited them to do a recording session for the

Radio 1 show The Blue Room in London. Shortly after Notting

Hill Art’s Club would become the location of their live debut. In

the United States, they signed with Guidance Recordings. By

summer 2002, the band was getting rave reviews from British

electronica magazines and in July they played Norway’s finest

rock festival. In October For Sleepyheads Only was released

in the US through Guidance Recordings. In November they

played the London Jazz Festival. Throughout 2003 their debut,

For Sleepyheads Only was still being echoed across the globe

in staggered releases with special editions released to Russia

and Greece. Beatservice Records then went on to release Treat

Me Like You Do - For Sleepyheads Only Remixed in June. While

their debut continued to make its way around, the band wasted

no time and began work on their second album for the majority

of the year, which was recorded in Paris in October.
