Harleys & Indians (Riders In The Sky)
Music & Lyrics by Per Gessle
When I go to heaven, Harley Harley heaven. I want to meet a King. Like the
Panhead 48. I want to meet the Fat One. We can talk for hours. When my
time has come, Babe I won't be running late. Flying high riders in the
sky. Na na na na. When I go to heaven, red-skin heaven. I want to meet the
Chiefs. Yea, I want to meet all Scouts. I won't miss my friends cos I know
where they'll be. We're all part of the Indian Family. Flying high riders
in the sky. Na na na na. It's alright, Baby. I'm OK, honey. I'm only
travellin' thru this state of mine. Hey it's alright, Mama. I'm doin' fine
now, Mama. I'm only in a certain state of mind. When I go to heaven, Hog
Hog heaven. I'll have a drink with Elvis while Marlon's on his way. We're
kickin' and we're revvin'. We're dressing up in style. It's time to take a
ride on that freeway in the sky. Flying high riders in the sky. Na na na
na Come on, come on.
Crash! Boom! Bang!
Music & Lyrics by 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.
Fireworks
Music & Lyrics by Per Gessle
I once knew a girl; I can't remember her name but I remember her face cos
her sister looked the same. They both left school, but they couldn't find
a job; so they said farewell and stole a small town car. As they were
riding by the beach some summer night the radio shouted out one of those
songs that might just change your life (- it went like this): "Checkin' in
checkin' out. Making love I like watching all your fireworks. I like it
when I light those stars in your eyes. Just like fireworks in the sky" (-
yes it did...) Throwing some poems to the ports and docks.They were
sleeping outdoors pushing all their luck. They sent me a letter full of
pills and thrills. Then they both got rich and moved to Hollywood Hills.
Yea they made lots of money playing folk guitar. Cos everywhere the boys
went crazy just to hear these words of art: "Checkin' in checkin' out
(take it to the sky). Making love I like watching all your fireworks. I
like it when I light those stars in your eyes. Just like fireworks in the
sky". They're coming to get you. They're coming to get you now. Coming to
get you now. Watch the sky!
Run To You
Music & Lyrics by 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 sky.
Take 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, those 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!
Sleeping In My Car
Music & Lyrics by Per Gessle
I'll tell you what I've done, I'll tell you what I'll 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.
Vulnerable
Music & Lyrics by Per Gessle
Everywhere I look I see her smile, her absent-minded eyes. And she has
kept me wondering for so long. How this thing could go wrong. It seems to
me that we are both the same playing the same game. But as darkness falls
this true love falls apart into a riddle of her heart. She's so
vulnerable, like china in my hands. She's so vulnerable and I don't
understand. I could never hurt the one I love. She's all I've got. But
she's so vulnerable. Oh so vulnerable. Days like these no one should be
alone. No heart should hide away. Her touch is gently conquering my mind.
There's nothing words can say. She's coloured all the secrets of my soul.
I've whispered all my dreams. But just as nighttime falls this vision
falls apart. Into a riddle of her heart, yea. She's so vulnerable, like
china in my hands. She's so vulnerable and I don't understand. I could
never hurt someone I love. She's all I've got. But she's so vulnerable. Oh
so vulnerable. Don't hide your eyes...
The First Girl On The Moon
Music & Lyrics by Per Gessle
She was the first girl on the moon. She didn't compromise when she took
off that cold afternoon, heading for the northern skies. I told her I
could come. That I could come along. She was the first girl on the moon. I
think I was her only friend. She brought her raygun, an old harpoon just
in case of accidents. I told her I could come. That I could come along.
But she didn't let me come along. Wave goodbye. Wave goodbye. She was the
first girl on the moon. Standing tall, flag in hand. She looked around
humming a tune. The strangest song known to man. I told her I could come.
That I could come along. But she never let me come along. Wave goodbye.
Wave goodbye.
Place Your Love
Music & Lyrics by Per Gessle
Sunday. Sick o' my tears. Monday morning. I could've felt much better.
Tuesday. You're in my way. I wish you would type my heart a letter. Place
your love in my world. It's for you, it's made for you. I need time, a lot
o' time to get you off my mind. To get you off my mind. Wednesday.
Nuthin's OK. Thursday afternoon. I wish I was sleepin'. Friday and
Saturday sun. Gettin' up early but I can't get nuthin' done. Place your
love in my world. It's for you, It's all made for you. I need time, a lot
o' time to get you off my mind. To get you off my mind. Maybe you'll come
here, maybe you'll disappear. Maybe the clouds I fear will turn to flowers
in the air. These cool vibrations, they're hitting me all the time. You've
got me diggin' and divin' in the garden of my mind. It's a high to watch
you fly across the sky all the time. To watch you all the time.
I Love The Sound of Crashing Guitars
Music & Lyrics by Per Gessle
Mao Mao Mao... I love the sound of smashing guitars. I love the sound of
crashing guitars. Red guitars against the wall. Big guitars can turn so
small. I love the sound of crashing guitars. Show it! The 6-string kick
inside. The 6-string kick inside. The 6-string kick inside. I love the
sound of breaking guitars. I love the sound of crashing guitars. Hey you
long haired vintage Jesus, break the guitar into 1000 pieces. I love the
sound of crashing guitars. Don't you? The 6-string kick inside. The
6-string kick inside. Don't you love the sound of crashing guitars? Don't
you love the sound of crashing electric guitars? Don't you love that
sound, drivin' in your car? Don't you love the sound of crashing electric
guitars? Don't you? Don't you? I love the touch of watching the stars. I
love the sound of trashing guitars. Custom made, Townshend's ace. Smash
the axe and break the case. I love the sound of crashing guitars. Crashing
and crashing! The 6-string kick inside. The 6-string kick inside. I love
the sound of crashing guitars. Mao Mao Mao...
What's She Like?
Music & Lyrics by Per Gessle
What's she like when she turns around to kiss you goodnight? When she
wakes up in the morning by your side? What's she like? What's she like?
The yellow moon or the deep blue of the sea? Do you feel the same way you
did when it was me? What's she like? Oh I've been holding on. I've been
holding on for far too long. I've been holding on. I've been holding on
much too long. What's she like when you're making love and stars are in
her eyes? When you're looking for the answers in her smile? What's she
like? Oh I've been holding on. I've been holding on for far too long. I've
been holding on. I've been holding on much too long. Too long. I never
knew I could love somebody the way I loved you. I never thought I'd be the
broken-hearted. Well, nothing hurts you like the truth. So what's she like
when she turns to you, when push comes to shove? When she whispers in your
ear that she's in love? What's she like? Oh I've been holding on. I've
been holding on for far too long. I've been holding on. I've been holding
on much too long. So what's she like?
Do You Wanna Go The Whole Way?
Music & Lyrics by Per Gessle
Before we take off all our clothes and get close together... Before it
gets too serious both of us need to know are we gonna go the whole way
this time? This time? Before all secrets are revealed old scars must heal
or wither. But it's getting very late and I can't wait anymore. Are we
gonna go the whole way this time? Do you wanna go the whole way this time?
This time? Do you wanna go the whole way now? We're taking it easy. Do you
wanna go the whole way, Babe? Kick it in, kick it in slowly. Do you wanna
go the whole way this time? Do you wanna go the whole way for sure. Do you
wanna go the whole way this time? This time? This time? Do ya?
Lies
Music by Per Gessle and M.P. Persson
Lyrics by Per Gessle
Put 'em on. Put the big boots on. Baby put them big boots on. Make a mark.
Make a good kick start. Kick yourself right outa my heart. It's a cookin'
jumpin' jivin' shout. Cos you're every little thing I can do without.
Every line you lay, every trick you trade. They could never ever make the
grade. Lies. La-la-la-la-lies. It's all lies. La-la-la-la-lies. You're all
lies. Honeybutt keep your big mouth shut. Baby keep that big mouth shut.
It's a steamin' jumpin' jivin' shout. Cos you're every little thing I
still dream about. But the love you lay, every prayer you pray it will
never ever make my day. Listen to me good... Lies La-la-la-la-lies It's
all lies. Only lies. La-la-la-la-lies You're all lies. Doo doo doo doo
doo.
I'm Sorry
Music & Lyrics by Per Gessle
The first time we met time stood still. You left me breathless. Suddenly
speechless. Within the hour we were one - two total strangers kissing the
moonlight. Oh, you know I'm sorry I had to go. I'm really sorry it had to
die. I'm really sorry I made you cry. Cry. We fell in love between the
nights. Of too many lovers and too many teardrops. And fate won't resist
some satin sheets. I was so helpless. Totally ruthless. Oh, you know I'm
sorry I had to go. I'm really sorry you're hurt inside. I'm really sorry I
made you cry. Cry, cry. Love is lifting you up and draggin' you down.
Makes you go round and round and round. Time makes a stop then it's all
gone. Funny how memories keep lingering on.
Love Is All (Shine your Light On Me)
Music & Lyrics by Per Gessle
Love is all. Love is all around you. Love is there in your laughter. In
your hair. Love flows everywhere. Love is old. Love is older than you. But
the light shining through. Makes me see. Your love is all new. Hey. Sha la
la. Shine a light. Shine on me. Shine your light on me. Sha la la. Shine
your light on me. Love is all. Love will always be The Law. And higher
love radiates on us all. On us all.
Go To Sleep
Music by Marie Fredriksson
Lyrics by Per Gessle
There's a shadow on the terrace. A snow dance for the living. There's
heavy weather on the way. I heard it on the news. And life's a tough
principal who won't reward the losers. Your name is on the tea-cup.
There's nothing I can do. But to wish you'd think about me before you go
to sleep. And I wish you the best there is before you go to sleep. There
are tears without the colour. A million seas with water. An ocean full of
people where shattered hearts can go. And love's a golden ripple where
answers are so simple. But the explanations are very hard to do. And I
wish you'd think about me before you go to sleep And I wish you the best
there is before you go to sleep. Go to sleep.
