Millencolin
Millencolin is a punk rock band that was formed in October 1992 by Nikola Sarcevic, Mathias Färm, and Erik Ohlsson in Örebro, Sweden. In early 1993, drummer Fredrik Larzon joined the band. The name Millencolin is derived from the skateboard trick "melancholy".
History
The original lineup, consisting of Sarcevic (vocals & bass), Ohlsson (guitar), and Färm (drums), released their first demo tape, Goofy, in early 1993. Soon afterwards, Larzon joined the band to play drums, allowing Färm to perform as the second guitarist. In the summer of 1993, they recorded a second demo tape, Melack. The band sent the tape to Burning Heart Records, a new record label formed earlier that year. They signed Millencolin to do a CD single, which culminated in the release of Use Your Nose in November 1993. Success of the single prompted Burning Heart to sign the band to release a full album. In July 1994, the band released Skauch, initially planned to be a single for their new album. However, the band decided to record four cover songs as well and released it as an EP instead. They put out their first major release, Tiny Tunes, in 1994. The recording and mixing of the album took two weeks. Legal trouble with Warner Brothers over the title and cover artwork of the album led the band to re-release it in 1996 under the name Same Old Tunes.

Kingwood
by: MillencolinYou say you wanna leave me,
say you wanna be free
from everything you hate.
Get yourself together,
we'll always be together.
Love, you just can not rate.
Been so long since we hooked,
been so long since we took
time to get things right.
But I'll be here forever,
I'll lie to you forever.
Now, it doesn't look bright.
Nobody is killing more time than you and I.
Everybody's willing somehow to say goodbye.
I think we're getting used to,
used to be abused to.
Doubt is all there is.
We can not spread out wings out,
can not do a new thing.
Drought on what we miss.
When everything is falling,
it's like we both are crawling
around and around again.
Every fight is too long,
every word is too strong
Bound to end it all, but when?
The stalemate's on and what we had is dead and gone.
It's like we just don't care. We're going nowhere.
I wanna say goodbye. Yeah, I wanna say goodbye.
Goodbye to our big life lie, nothing's gonna be alright.
You know this is our best white lie. Nothing's gonna be alright.
Doesn't matter how we try, I wanna ask you why we can't let it die?
Even though we both have tried, you know I always question why.
Why we just can't let it die?
It's our big life lie.
