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...

 

 

 

Fingertips

Music & Lyrics by Per Gessle

 

You're sliding down a dream, o yea. Where nights are born in blue, that's

the truth. You're swimming in a stream, o yea. Fish are jumping too, next

to you. Suddenly you notice someone's at the door, you could swear you've

been through this all before. Then she runs her fingertips through your

hair. Your life has just begun. Her fingers, they are everywhere. You're

floating light like air, leaving the ground and she shines on just like

the sun. You're gazing at the sky, o my. The stars are out tonight,

shining bright. You're waving to a cloud, bye-bye. You're drowning in the

smile of his eyes. Suddenly you feel there's no time for a deal though a

voice tells you it's for real. And she runs her fingertips through your

hair and life has just begun. Her fingers, there and everywhere. You're

floating light like air, leaving the ground. She-she shines on just like

the sun. It's just a sunny afternoon. Somebody's singing songs of love,

child. You love a lazy afternoon once in a while.

 

 

 

Dressed For Success

Music & Lyrics by 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... 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!

 

 

 

Joyride

Music & Lyrics by 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 a 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 again when it

ends, and we're all magic friends. she says: hello, you fool, i love you,

c'mon join the joyride, be a joyrider. i take you on a skyride, a felling

like you're spellbound. the sunshine is a lady who rox you like a baby.

 

 

 

The Look

Music & Lyrics by 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.

 

 

 

Dangerous

Music & Lyrics by 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...

She's armed and she's extremely dangerous...

 

 

 

The Sweet Hello, The Sad Goodbye

Music & Lyrics by Per Gessle

 

Red like fire was the day I met you. I tell you now, there are no regrets.

In this room there are many memories. Some are good, some I try to forget.

I thought we were the chosen ones, who were supposed to fly. We're very

much the same, you and I. The sweet hello, the sad goodbye. Still waiting

to get hurt, time after time. The sweet hello, the sad goodbye. When love

lies in our hands, we seem to run and hide. And I can't help but wonder

why. The sweet hello, the sad goodbye. My heart was like a runaway train,

babe. I don't believe I've ever felt more alive. In this room I hear

voices linger. We never talked about the price. You know you're not the

only one, who knows how to cry. We're very much the same, you and I. The

sweet hello, the sad goodbye. Still waiting to get hurt, time after time.

The sweet hello, the sad goodbye. When love lies in our hands, we run away

and hide. And I can't help but wonder why. The sweet hello, the sad

goodbye. The sweet hello, the sad goodbye. We're very much the same, you

and I. The sweet hello, the sad goodbye. Still waiting to get hurt, time

after time. The sweet hello, the sad goodbye. When love lies in our hands,

we run away and hide. And I can't help but wonder why. The sweet hello,

the sad goodbye. Goodbye. The sweet hello, the sad goodbye. The sweet

hello, the sad goodbye. The sweet hello, the sad goodbye.

 

 

 

The Voice

Music & Lyrics by Per Gessle

 

Between the open heart and the whisper goodbye, there's a perfect teardrop

in your eye. Between the lover's moon and the trembling sky, there's a

broken dream in your mind. And the voice is carrying the love you have

lost, and the change of heart in someone you trust. Yea the voice is

carrying the love and the scars. Hear the lonely voice in the dark.

Between the careful touch and the breakaway kiss, there's a beauty you

can't resist. Mmm, between the fall apart and the moment of bliss, there

must be something more than this. And the voice is carrying the love you

have lost. Love you have lost. And the change of heart in someone you

trust. Yea the voice is carrying the love and the scars. Love and the

scars. Hear the lonely voice in the dark. In the dark. Hear the lonely

voice. Hear the lonely voice. And the voice is carrying the love you have

lost. Love you have lost. And the change of heart in someone you trust.

Yea the voice is carrying the love and the scars. Love and the scars. Hear

the lonely voice in the dark. Oh, yea, the voice is carrying the love you

have lost. Love you have lost. And the change of heart in someone you

trust. Yea the voice is carrying the love and the scars. Love and the

scars. Hear the lonely voice in the dark. In the dark. Lonely voice.

Lonely voice in the dark. Hear the lonely voice. Hear the lonely voice in

the dark...

 

 

 

Almost Unreal

Music & Lyrics by 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. Yes, 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. It's a

crazy... Let's hope our prayers are in good hands tonight. Oh, 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, so unreal. Yea come on and do the 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, yea. It's almost unreal. Do the hocus

pocus to me. Do the hocus pocus...

 

 

 

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!

 

 

 

Spending My Time

Music by Per Gessle and Mats Persson

Lyrics by 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, 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'll

get over you. this silly game of love - you play, you win only to lose.

 

 

 

One Is Such A Lonely Number

Music & Lyrics by Per Gessle

 

I never knew when you walked in the room. I sold my soul to a stranger, an

angel face yea. I never had this kind of sight before, this kind of vision

white, hang on tight yea. I don't know, girl, you've been around. Don't

you go, don't you let me down. One is such a lonely number, to make the

world go round. Three is just a little too much to touch, now honey, to

make the world go round and round and round. One is such a lonely number.

I think about what this has done to me. I'm going back to the start, back

to school days. I never had this urge inside of me, to hear the sound of a

heart fill the airwaves. There's a love line, it's tied to the ground.

Leave you here, never let you down. One is such a lonely number, to make

the world go round. Three is just a little too much to touch, now honey,

to make the world go round and round and round. One is such a lonely

number, to mend a broken heart. Three is just a little too much to touch,

hey honey, to make the world go round and round and round and round.

There's a love line, it's tied to the ground. Leave you here, never let

you down. One is such a lonely number, to make the world go round. Three

is just a little too much to touch, now honey, to make the world go round

and round and round. One is such a lonely number, to mend a broken heart.

Three is just a little too much to touch, hey honey, to make the world go

round and round and round. One is such a lonely number, to make the world

go round...
