About God Knows

"God Knows" is the fifth single released by Swedish band Mando Diao and their second release from their second album, Hurricane Bar. The B-sides on the three versions of the single in the UK are all recorded live at the Paradise Rock Club in Boston. These live tracks have all previously appeared on the US Paralyzed EP, with "Little Boy Jr" also appearing on the Japan Tour EP and the limited edition of Bring 'Em In. "The Malevolence also appeared on the UK version of You Can't Steal My Love. The song appeared on the playlist for the FIFA 06 soundtrack. The song was written by singer/guitarist Gustaf Norén to co-singer/guitarist, Björn Dixgård. The song is about the pressure, as a celebrity, to behave under the spotlight, having all your mistakes magnified and causing problems. "As long as you're a band," Norén says of this song, "then you can count on each other. You will always get through every problem."

Well I turned left just like you told me to
I get excited by the moves you do
I'm on a mission and I'm gonna get away
Well I saw her standing all colored in red
I felt the blues just by the things she said
I want my mission so I can escape today

[Chorus]
God knows, I ain't sleeping but I want my line
God knows, I ain't happy so I want it bad tonight
Oh brother can you help me out
God knows, I've got nothing so accept my time
God knows, it ain't easy to behave in this spotlight
Oh brother can you help me out
brother can you help me out
Oh brother can you help me out

Well I turned the page from number three to four
You had nothing on you by my bedroom door
You had your mission now I'm gonna get away
Oh this is over and our souls are saved
When I am buried when I've got my own cave
I've done my mission so I won't be here today

[Chorus]

I turned right just like I thought you would
I got excited like you said I would
I'm on a mission and I'm getting blown away
Well I saw her standing all colored in red
I felt the blues just by the things she said
I want my mission so I can escape today

[Chorus]

Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah
All right
