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.
