Pajala
Pajala is a locality and the seat of Pajala Municipality in Norrbotten County, Sweden, with 1,958 inhabitants in 2010.
History
Lars Levi Laestadius, the famous botanist, Lutheran minister, and founder of the revivalist movement Laestadianism, lived and worked in Pajala Municipality in the Mid-19th Century. He lived in Kengis, but in 1869 his house and grave and the whole church of Kengis were moved to Pajala.
The town was mistakenly bombed by Soviet airplanes during the Finnish/Soviet Winter War, in spring 1940. Seven Soviet planes dropped 134 bombs, a mix of explosive and firebombs, which destroyed six buildings, badly damaging telephone wires, and making the streets impossible to drive on due to 43 big craters. No human deaths were recorded, although two persons were slightly injured. Soviet officers later inspected the destruction and the Soviet Union paid damages to Sweden in 1940.

Mayday
by: PujolWalking back from superstition
You don't know you can be that way
But then this library's got you crissin
An ace you call a spade's a spade, so
Change your name to your position
You're makin all your tassels sway
Forward sidekick nepotism
But you don't got to be that way
Cause I love to hear you speak because I
I dig the things you say
You're gonna wear that crown all over town
Like you're the king of May
The king of May
The king of May
The king of May
The king of May
Did you know what I been thinkin
I brought you close to hear you say
I need people disagreein'
So I don't get stuck in ways
'Cause I could see myself slippin'
Deeper towards insanity
So low that I feel these feelings
This is what entangles mean but
I love to hear you speak because I
I dig the things you say
You're gonna wear that crown all over town
Like you're the king of May
The king of May
The king of May
The king of May
The king of May
That isn't us when we are picking
Living spade of a lemonade
The interesting and an easy living
So intensely that you say
It's nothing really esoteric
You know I just self-educate
It's magic that comes from magicians
It isn't magic anyway
But I love to hear you speak because you
Been dealt thing to say
You're gonna take that crown and melt it down
