1.One Wish

Lyrics:Per Gessle
Music:Per Gessle

If you had one wish, what would it be?
If you had one wish, would it be about me?
Just one wish, could it be about me?
You might make a wish for money or peace
You'd make a wish for cosmic relief
shade by the trees and green summer leaves

Well I was thinking that hey-hey-hey
maybe one day
a wish of you and me
yeah hey-hey-hey
maybe one day
a wish of you and me

Please don't tell me what I don't need to know
Please stop offer what I shouldn't know
I don't wanna know what doesn't show
If you had one wish, what would it be?
If you had one wish, would it be about me?
Just one wish, could it be about me?

'Cause I was thinking that hey-hey-hey
maybe one day
a wish of you and me
yeah hey-hey-hey
maybe one day
a wish of you and me

Waving high, then down below
shine your light
down here below
oh one wish
one wish
one wish
one wish

Hey-hey-hey
maybe one day
a wish of you and me
yeah hey-hey-hey
maybe one day
a wish of you and me


2.The Look

Lyrics:Per Gessle
Music:Per Gessle

1-2-3-4 walking like a man,
hitting like a hammer,
she's a juvenile scam.
Never was a quitter,
tasty like a raindrop,
she's got the look.

Heavenly bound
cause heaven's got a number
when she's spinning me around,
kissing is a colour.
Her loving is a wild dog,
She's got the look.

She's got the look.
She's got the look.
What in the world can make a brown-eyed girl turn blue.
When everything I'll ever do, I'll do for you and I go:
la la la la la
she's got the look.

Fire in the ice
naked to the t-bone
is a lover's disguise.
Banging on the head drum,
shaking like a mad bull,
she's got the look.

Swaying to the band,
moving like a hammer
she's a miracle man.
Loving is the ocean,
kissing is the wet sand,
she's got the look.

And she goes: na na na na na na na na.


3.Dressed For Success

Lyrics:Per Gessle
Music:Per Gessle

Tried to make it little by little,
tried to make it bit by bit on my own.
Quit the job, the grey believers,
another town where I get close to the bone.
Whatcha gonna tell your brother? - oh oh oh
whatcha gonna tell your father? - I don't know!
Whatcha gonna tell your mother? - Let me go...

I'm gonna get dressed for success
shaping me up for the big time, baby.
Get dressed for success
shaping it up for your love yea yea yea.

I'm not afraid, a trembling flower,
I'll feed your heart and blow the dust from your eyes
and in the dark things happen faster.
I love the way you sway your hips next to mine.
Whatcha gonna tell your brother? - oh oh oh
whatcha gonna tell your father? - I don't know!
Whatcha gonna tell your mother? - Let me go...

I'm gonna get dressed for success,
hitting a spot for the big time, baby.
Get dressed for success
shaping it up for your love.

Look sharp!


4.Listen To Your Heart

Lyrics:Per Gessle
Music:Per Gessle/M.P.Persson

I know there's something in the wake of your smile.
I get a notion from the look in your eyes, yea.
You've built a love but that love falls apart.
Your little piece of heaven turns too dark.

Listen to your heart when he's calling for you.
Listen to your heart there's nothing else you can do.
I don't know where you're going and I don't know why,
but listen to your heart before you tell him goodbye.

Sometimes you wonder if this fight is worthwhile.
The precious moments are all lost in the tide, yea.
They're swept away and nothing is what it seems,
the feeling of belonging to your dreams.

Listen to your heart when he's calling for you.
Listen to your heart there's nothing else you can do.
I don't know where you're going and I don't know why,
but listen to your heart before you tell him goodbye.

And there are voices that want to be heard.
So much to mention but you can't find the words.
The scent of magic, the beauty that's been
when love was wilder than the wind.

Listen to your heart when he's calling for you.
Listen to your heart there's nothing else you can do.
I don't know where you're going and I don't know why,
but listen to your heart before you tell him goodbye.


5.Dangerous

Lyrics:Per Gessle
Music:Per Gessle

You pack your bag.
You take control.
You're moving into my heart
and into my soul.
Get out of my way!
Get out of my sight!
I won't be walking on thin
ice to get through the night.

Hey, where's your work?
What's your game?
I know your business
but I don't know your name...
Hold on tight,
you know she's a little bit dangerous.
She's got what it takes to make ends meet
the eyes of a lover that hit like heat.
You know she's a little bit dangerous.

You turn around,
so hot and dry.
You're hiding under a halo,
your mouth is alive.
Get out of my way!
Get out of my sight!
I'm not attracted to go-go deeper tonight.

Hey, what's your word?
What's your game?
I know your business
but I don't know your name...
Hold on tight...


6.It Must Have Been Love

Lyrics:Per Gessle
Music:Per Gessle

Lay a whisper on my pillow,
leave the winter on the ground.
I wake up lonely,
there's air of silence in the bedroom
and all around
Touch me now, I close my eyes and dream away.

It must have been love but it's over now.
It must have been love but I lost it somehow.
It must have been love but it's over now.

From the moment we touched, 'til the time had run out.
Make-believing we're together that I'm sheltered by your heart.
But in and outside I've turned to water like a teardrop in your
palm.
And it's a hard winters day, I dream away.

It must have been love but it's over now.
It's all that I wanted, now I'm living without.
It must have been love but it's over now,
it's where the water flows, it's where the wind blows.


7.Joyride

Lyrics:Per Gessle
Music:Per Gessle

I hit the road out of nowhere,
I had to jump in my car
and be a rider in a love game,
following the stars.
Don't need no book of wisdom,
I get no money talk at all.
She has a train going downtown,
she's got a club on the moon
and she's telling all her secrets
in a wonderful balloon.
Oh, she's the heart of the funfair,
she's got me whistling her private tune.

And it all begins where it ends
and she's all mine, my magic friend.

She says: Hello, you fool I love you.
C'mon join the joyride.
Join the joyride.

She's a flower, I can paint her.
She's a child of the sun.
We're part of this together,
could never turn around and run.
Don't need no fortune teller
to know where my lucky love belongs, oh no

Cos it all begins where it ends
and we're all magic friends.

She says: Hello, you fool I love you.
C'mon join the joyride.
Join the joynride.

Be a joyrider.

I take you on a skyride,
a feeling like you're spellbound.
the sunshine is a lady,
who ROX you like a baby.


8.Fading Like A Flower(Every Time You Leave)

Lyrics:Per Gessle
Music:Per Gessle

In a time where the sun descends alone
I ran a long long way from home
to find a heart that's made of stone.
I will try, I just need a little time
to get your face right out of my mind,
to see the world through different eyes.

Every time I see you oh I try to hide away
but when we meet it seems I can't let go.
Every time you leave the room
I feel I'm fading like a flower.

Tell me why, when I scream there's no reply,
when I reach out there's nothing to find,
when I sleep I break down and cry.

Every time I see you oh I try to hide away
but when we meet it seems I can't let go.
Every time you leave the room
I feel I'm fading like a flower.

Fading like a rose, fading like a rose,
beaten by the storm, talking to myself,
getting washed by the rain,
it's such a cold cold town.

Every time I see you oh I try to hide away
but when we meet it seems I can't let go.
Every time you leave the room
I feel I'm fading like a flower.


9.Spending My Time

Lyrics:Per Gessle
Music:Per Gessle

What's the time? Seems it's already morning.
I see the sky, it's so beautiful and blue.
The TV's on but the only thing showing is a picture of you.
Oh I get up and make myself some coffee.
I try to read a bit but the story's too thin.
I thank the Lord above that you're not here to see me in this
shape I'm in.

Spending my time, watching the days go by.
Feeling so small, I stare at the wall,
hoping that you think of me too.
I'm spending my time.

I try to call but I don't know what to tell you.
I leave a kiss on your answering machine.
Oh help me please, is there someone who can make me wake up from
this dream?

Spending my time, watching the days go by.
Feeling so small, I stare at the wall,
hoping that you are missing me too.
I'm spending my time.
Spending my time, watching the sun go down.
I fall asleep to the sound of 'Tears of a Clown',
a prayer gone blind.
I'm spending my time.

My friends keep telling me:
Hey, life will go on,
time will make sure I get over you.
This silly game of love -
you play, you win only to lose.

Spending my time, watching the days go by.
Feeling so small, I stare at the wall,
hoping that you think of me too.
I'm spending my time.

Spending my time, watching the sun go down.
I fall asleep to the sound of 'Tears of a Clown',
a prayer gone blind.
I'm spending my time.
I'm spending my time.


10.How Do You Do!

Lyrics:Per Gessle
Music:Per Gessle

I see you comb your hair and gimme that grin.
It's making me spin now, spinnin' within.
Before I melt like snow, I say hello
How do you do!
I love the way you undress now, Baby begin.
Do you caress, honey, my heart's in a mess.
I love your blue-eyed voice,
like Tiny Tim shines thru.
How do you do!

Well here we are crackin' jokes in the corner of our mouths
and I feel like I'm laughing in a dream.
If I was young I could wait outside your school,
cos your face is like the cover of a magazine.

How do you do, do you do,
the things that you do.
No one I know could ever keep up with you.
How do you do! Did it ever make sense to you
to say Bye Bye Bye?

I see you in that chair with perfect skin.
Well how have you been, baby,
livin' in sin?
Hey I gona know, did you say hello
How do you do?

Well, here we are, spending time in the louder part of town
and I feel like everything's surreal.
When I get old I will wait outside your house
cos your hands have got the power meant to heal.

How do you do, do you do,
the things that you do.
No one I know could ever keep up with you.
How do you do! Did it ever make sense to you
to say Bye Bye Bye?


11.Almost Unreal

Lyrics:Per Gessle
Music:Per Gessle

Babe, come in from the cold,
and put that coat to rest.
Step inside,
take a deep breath,
and do what you do best.
Yea, kick off them shoes,
and leave those city streets.
I do believe love came our way
and fate did arrange for us to meet.

I love when you do that hocus pocus to me.
The way that you touch,
you've got the power to heal.
You give me that look,
it's almost unreal,
it's almost unreal.

Hey, we can't stop the rain,
let's find a place by the fire.
Sometimes I feel,
strange as it seems
you've been in my dreams all my life.

I love when you do that hocus pocus to me.
The way that you touch,
you've got the power to heal.
You give me that look,
it's almost unreal,
it's almost unreal.

It's a crazy world out there.
Let's hope our prayers are in good hands tonight.


12.Sleeping In My Car

Lyrics:Per Gessle
Music:Per Gessle

I'll tell you what I've done
I'll tell you what I do
Been driving all nite just to get close to you
Baby babe - I'm moving so fast
You'd better come on.

The moon is alright
The freeway's heading south
My heart is going Boom!
There's a strange taste in my mouth
Baby Babe - I'm moving real fast
So try to hold on
Try to hold on!

Sleeping in my car - I will undress you
Sleeping in my car - I will caress you
Staying in the back seat of my car making up.

So come out tonight
I'll take you for a ride
This steamy ol' wagon
The radio is getting wild
Baby Babe - we're moving so fast
I try to hang on
Try to hang on!

Sleeping in my car - I will undress you
Sleeping in my car - I will caress you
Staying in the back seat of my car making love, oh yea!

Sleeping in my car - I will possess you
Sleeping in my car - certainly bless you
Laying in the back seat of my car making up.

The night is so pretty and so young
The night is so pretty and so young
So very young...

Sleeping in my car - I will undress you
Sleeping in my car - I will caress you
Staying in the back seat of my car making love to you.

Sleeping in my car - I will possess you
Sleeping in my car - certainly bless you
Laying in the back seat of my car making up.

I will undress you
I will undress you.

The night is so pretty and so young.


13.Crash! Boom! Bang!

Lyrics:Per Gessle
Music:Per Gessle

My Papa told me to stay out of trouble
'When you've found your man, make sure he's for real!'.

I've learned that nothing really lasts forever
I sleep with the scars I wear that won't heal
They won't heal.

Cos every time I seem to fall in love
Crash! Boom! Bang!
I find the heart but then I hit the wall
Crash! Boom! Bang!
That's the call, that's the game and the pain stays the same.

I'm walking down this empty road to nowhere
I pass by the houses and blocks I once knew.

My Mama told me not to mess with sorrow
But I always did, and Lord, I still do
I'm still breaking the rules
I kick it up
I kick it down.

Cos every time I seem to fall in love
Crash! Boom! Bang!
I find the heart but then I hit the wall
Crash! Boom! Bang!
That's my real middle-name
It has always been the same
That's the call, that's the game and the pain stays the same.

I still feel the heat
Slowly fallin' from the sky
And the taste of the kissing
Shattered by rain
Comin' tumblin' from behind
And the wild holy war.

I kick it up
I kick it down

And every time I seem to fall in love
Crash! Boom! Bang!
I find the roses dying on the floor
Crash! Boom! Bang!
That's the tall, that's the game and the pain stays the same
That's my real middle-name
It has always been the same.

Oh Yea Oh Yea Oh Yea Uh-huh
Been the same, been the same
It has always been the same.


14.Run To You

Lyrics:Per Gessle
Music:Per Gessle

Baby, sometimes I feel like dying
Driving while I'm closing my eyes
Moving in and out of hiding
Trying to catch some truth in my life
Watching your stars and your moonlight
Come tumbling down from the skyTake it now.

I'm gonna run to you
I'm gonna come to you
I wanna find you
In everything that I do
I'm gonna run to you
I'm gonna count on you
I'm gonna follow
Baby, what else can I do?

Sunday morning, my town is sleeping
Lying all alone in my bed
There's not a sound, I can't help but listening
Wishing I was somewhere else instead
But sometimes they're too hard to handle
These voices inside my head
Listen now.

I'm gonna run to you
I'm gonna come to you
I wanna find you
In everything that I do
I'm gonna run to you
I'm gonna count on you
I'm gonna follow
Baby, what else can I do?

Take a walk inside my dream: A church, a lonely road
All the people come and go and come and go.

Do it now!


15.Wish I Could Fly

Lyrics:Per Gessle
Music:Per Gessle

Halfway through the night
I wake up in a dream
Echoes in my head
Make every whisper turn into a scream

I dreamed I could fly
Out in the blue
Over this town
Following you
Over the trees
Subways and cars
I'd try to find out
Who you really are

In the middle of the night
Cool sweatin' in my bed
Got the windows open wide
Thinkin' about all the things you said

I wish I could fly
Out in the blue
Over this town
Following you
I'd fly over rooftops
The great boulevards
To try to find out
Who you really are
Who you really are

I wish I could fly now
Wish I could fly now
Wish I could fly now

I wish I could fly
Around and around
Over this town
The dirt on the ground
I'd follow your course
Of doors left ajar
To try to find out
Who you really are

To try to find out
Who you really are


16.Stars

Lyrics:Per Gessle
Music:Per Gessle

You keep on walkin' on the other side
Other side, other side
You keep on walkin' on the other side
Other side, other side
Wherever you go, I'm going with you
Shouldn't you know I'm bound to follow
Whatever you say, whatever you do
I give you a clue, I'm gonna follow

And the stars will show
Where the waters flow
Where the gardens grow
That's where I'll meet you

Why don't you let me, let me come along
Na na na, na na na
Why don't you open, make me come along
Na na na, na na na
Wherever you go, I'm going for you
Oh, I was truly born to follow
Like fire and wood and paper and glue
Only a few were born to follow

And the stars will show
Where the waters flow
Where the gardens grow
That's where I'll meet you
And the sun will glow
Melting all the snow
Knowing all I know
That's where I'll meet you

Stars will show
Where the waters flow
Where the gardens grow
That's where I'll meet you
And the sun will glow
Melting all the snow
Knowing all I know
That's where I'll meet you

And the stars will show
Every breeze will blow
Knowing all I know
That's where I'll meet you


17.The Centre Of The Heart

Lyrics:Per Gessle
Music:Per Gessle

What am I gonna do when I get a little excited,
a little in pain, tell me baby
What am I gonna say when I find the center of my heart is a
suburb to the brain?

You wear them so well, those innocent eyes
You're puttin' on a wonderful disguise
I want you so bad.
I'm pushing my luck
It feels like being hit by a truck
This is no place special.
Don't know why I came
If someone has a minute,
won't you explain

What am I gonna do when I get a little excited,
a little in pain, tell me
What am I gonna say when I find the center of my heart
is a suburb to the brain?

Singing
na nana nana na

Being with you, dealing with fire
Oh won't you come around (come out)
come out (today) and play
(I want you so bad)
Answer my calls

Let's spend the night within these walls
This is no place special
Nothing for the sane
If someone's got minute, do please explain


18.Milk And Toast And Honey

Lyrics:Per Gessle
Music:Per Gessle

Milk and toast and honey make it sunny
on a rainy Saturday, he-he-hey
Milk and toast, some coffee take the stuffiness
out of days you hate, you really hate
Slow morning news pass me by
I try not to analyse but didn't he blow my mind this time
Didn't he blow my mind?

Here he comes
To bring a little lovin', honey
Here he comes
To take away the hurt inside
Here he comes
is everything that matters to me
Here he comes
is everything I want in life

Milk and toast and honey
Ain't it funny how things sometimes look so clear and feel so
near
The dreams I dream, my favourite wishfull thinkin'
Oh he's bookmarked everywhere, everywhere
True love might fall from the sky
You never know what to find but didn't he blow my mind this time
Didn't he blow my mind?

Milk and toast and honey

Here he comes
To bring a little lovin', honey
To take away the pain inside
Here he comes
is everything that matters to me
Here he comes
is everything I want in life
Here he comes
Oh lay a little lovin', honey
Here he comes
To feel you're gettin' close to me
Here he comes
is everything that matters to me
Here he comes
Is everywhere I want to be

Here he comes
To bring a little lovin', honey
Here he comes
To take away the pain inside
Here he comes
is everything that matters to me
Here he comes
is everything I want from life
Here he comes
Oh lay a little lovin', baby, baby
Here he comes
To gettin' close to me
Here he comes
is everything that matters to me
Here he comes
Is everywhere I want to be

To bring a little lovin'
is everything I want
To lay a little lovin'
is everything I want
Oh, here he comes


19.A Thing About You

Lyrics:Per Gessle
Music:Per Gessle

I pick up the phone
I'm dialing your number
while I pray you're at home
at home and alone
cause I can't function on my own
and I'll never stop believing

The reaping is done
you are the one
The radio is on
but the sound is off gone
And I wanna walk out in the sun
Lately, that's been very hard to do

I've got a thing about you
And I don't really know what to do
Cause I've got a thing about you
Hey you

I pick up the phone
I'm dialing that number
and my heart like a stone
Waits for the tone
Oh I can't make it on my own
and I'll never stop believing

I know what is right
and this is so wrong
Alone in my bed
better off on my own
The TV is on
but the colours are gone

Refrain:
Lately,
you've been painting my world blue
I've got a thing about you ( I've got a thing about you)
I don't really care what you do
I've got a thing about you (I've got a thing about you)
Hey you

Lately,
you've been painting my world blue
I've got a thing about you
I don't really know what to do
I've got a thing about you
Hoping the story cuts through
The story cuts through

And I don't really know what to do


20.Reveal

Lyrics:Per Gessle
Music:Per Gessle

Everything here, close to me
is just the way I want it to be
It's all about faith
it's all about trust
all about luck and all about lust
My wish comes true
my wish comes true

I don't mind showing for you
I reveal everything for you
Just about anything

Could it be night
could it be day
floating in space
I was drifting away
You're making me warm
You're making me high
I feel like laughing where I used to cry
My wish comes true
my dream comes true

I don't mind showing for you
I reveal everything for you
Just about anything for you
I reveal everything for you
Just about anything

I don't mind showing for you
I reveal everything for you
Just about anything for you
I reveal everything for you
Just about anything for you
Everything for you
Anything for you
