� How Do You Do!
�
Music & Lyrics by 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 your 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 gotta know, did you say Hello - How do
� you do? Well, here we are spending time in the louder part of town and it
� feels 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...

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.

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.

The Heart Shaped Sea�
Music & Lyrics by Per Gessle�
Babe it's time to tell me that it's over, tell me that it's over, it's� plain to see. And this time we won't be starting over, no crying on your
� shoulder into the heart shaped sea. Oh you've been a-running from our door
� and you've been enchanted by the gracious voice of love. Babe it's time to
� look me in the eyes, time to say goodbye, it's clear to me. And this time
� I won't let you down, you can turn around, I'll set you free. Oh you've
� been a-sailing from our shore and you've been enchanted by someone from
� afar. Babe it's time to gather all the harvest, to pray before the winter
� and sail the heart shaped sea. Oh you've been a-running from my love and
� you've been enchanted by the powers up above.

The Rain�
Music & Lyrics by Per Gessle�
I was raised the northern way and my father had a northern name, I did my� crying out in the pouring rain. And a season turned into another one, I
� found a heart bright like the morning sun. He touched my lips, so softly,
� with his fingertips. But I kept the rain falling down on me all the time,
� all the time. I kept the rain falling down on me all the time, all the
� time. And some things in life won't ever change, there's a smell of a
� rusty chain and of love disappearing like an aeroplane. I've kept the rain
� falling down on me all the time, all the time. I've kept the rain falling
� down on me all the time, all the time, all of the time.

Keep Me Waiting�
Music & Lyrics by Per Gessle� I hit the coast with the faith of a preacherman. I saw a ghost with a face
� like a madman. I had this dream I was sleeping at the Royal Ball. I hit
� the streets, hey watch me in the monitor! I saw a clown who looked just
� like a senator. I checked the clock, I felt that it was time to go go go.
� Then came you.Why did you keep me waiting so long?Why did you keep me
� waiting so long?Why did you keep me waiting so long? I was a spy, I was
� captured by the enemies. I made a million selling secret fantasies. I saw
� my love wasted in a pale grey zone. I was the quake shaking every
� monument. I had to fi-find out what all the money meant. I checked the
� sun, I knew that it was time to go go go. Then came you...

It Must Have Been Love�
Music & Lyrics by 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 good 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 winter's day, I dream away. It must have been love but it's over now,
� it was 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.

Cinnamon Street�
Music & Lyrics by Per Gessle� Growing up on Cinnamon Street. Everywhere you look there are lots of
� people to meet, it's seven o'clock, the breakfast treat. Now the schoolbus
� is here, hurry up and grab a seat. All the dreams are tiny ones, another
� week has just begun on Cinnamon Street. There was a girl on Cinnamon
� Street, the same age as me, we shared the curiosity. I won her heart cos I
� could play guitar. I promised her heaven at once and later all the stars.
� But it all remained the same cos things can never change on Cinnamon
� Street. I can hear my heartbeat the very first time we made love, life was
� a lazy rest in the sun. Later we went dancing, staying up all night long -
� playing all our favourite songs, Cinnamon songs: Oh oh na na na na na. I
� say goodbye to Cinnamon Street. Springtime is here and the air is so dry
� and sweet. I walk in a cloud, the smell of cinnamon bread, it's in my
� blood since the day I was born 'til I wake up... dead. And the sun is
� smiling gently, a funny shade of red, Cinnamon Street. I still feel my
� heartbeat the very first time we made love, life was a lazy day in the
� sun. Later we went dancing, hanging out all night long - singing all our
� favourite songs, Cinnamon songs: Oh oh na na na na na na.

Never Is a Long Time�
Music & Lyrics by Per Gessle� You build it up and tear it down, there's no reason to follow you. You
� left the song without a sound, you left the story I made for you. Softly
� angels bow and cry in the stillness of the night. Never is a long time -
� goodbye. No answers for the asking. It's a long time - goodbye. No mercy
� for the aching. It's a long time - oh I see no light on the forsaken.
� Never is a long time - goodbye. Let's spend the night when this dream has
� come to an end. Sometimes you laugh, sometimes you cry, and yes, I've
� cried over you. You've left me blind in paradise. You've left me hungering
� for the touch of you. Snow white angels run and hide in the blackness of
� the night. Never is a long time...

Silver Blue
� Music & Lyrics by Per Gessle
� I got to get a message through, I don't know where we're going. I wrap my
� arms around your naked shoulders, take cover for the night. I see you in
� the morning rain, oh step inside and lay beside me. Tender can you close
� my eyes and blind me, oh give me just a smile... Before I fade to silver,
� Silver Blue for you. Before I fade to silver, Silver Blue for you. I've
� turned into The Broken One who lost the inspiration. I want to give you
� all my love like water to a blood red rose. The Passion - I can't deal
� with her. The Pain - well, I can do without him. And this is like the
� milky way, an ocean that only grows and grows. And babe I fade to silver,
� Silver Blue for you. I turn and fade to silver, Silver Blue for you. I
� wrap my arms around your naked shoulders, take cover for the night.

Here Comes The Weekend�
Music & Lyrics by Per Gessle� Every shape of every word you say that breaks the silence of an ordinary
� day. Every look that seems to mystify, every single smile that spins me to
� the sky. It makes me wanna run, it makes me wanna hide. Cos you're the
� only one that makes me come alive. It's getting closer now and darker by
� the hour. It only goes to show that here it comes, here comes the weekend
� and I'm on my own again with a Saturday in the rain. Here it comes, here
� comes the weekend. The fine line from pleasure to pain is making me cry.
� When will I see you again? Every breath, every vision you make. Every
� chance in love you love to take. Every move that seems to alter my world.
� Every dream I've had about this boy and this girl. It makes me wanna run,
� it makes me wanna hide cos you're the only one that makes my love alive
� and time is running fast into a new goodbye. It only goes to show that
� here it comes, here comes the weekend, another walk down that lonely lane,
� another Sunday that feels the same. Here it comes, here comes the weekend.
� The fine line from pleasure to pain is making me cry. When will I see you
� again?

So Far Away�
Music by Per Gessle� Lyrics by Per Gessle and Hasse Huss
In the coldest time of year, darkness all around my heart. I was alone but
� didn't fear to wander in the light of stars. In the bright and silent
� night, winds would knock and disappear. Still I felt the feeling near,
� like the first time you were ever here. You're so far away, so far away,
� you left me, you told me you would stay. You never said goodbye and I'll
� keep asking why, I keep on asking how, oh come unto me now. I have
� breathed the morning air, I have heard the four winds blow. I was weary
� but prepared to follow down this lonely road. In the room where lovers
� sleep, winds would knock and disappear. Still I felt the music near, like
� the first time we were ever here. You're so far away, so far away, you
� left me, you told me you would stay. You never said goodbye and I keep
� wondering why, I keep on wondering how, oh come inside me now.

Things Will Never Be The Same�
Music & Lyrics by Per Gessle� Lay it down, pull my heart to the ground, time's getting cold now the
� leaves all turn hard and blue. And I know when I gaze to the sun, no place
� to hide, I got nowhere to run from you, away from you. Hold me now, girl,
� I don't know when, when we will ever meet again. That was then, baby, this
� is now, I try to get over you. Losing you... things will never be the
� same. Can you hear me call your name? If we changed it back again things
� would never be... In your hand, babe, I don't understand, you've got the
� eyes of a child but you hurt like a man always do, always do. Touch me
� now, girl, I don't know when, when we will ever meet again. That was then,
� baby, this is now, time won't get over you.

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. Join the joyride. 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.

Queen of Rain�
Music by Per Gessle and M.P. Persson� Lyrics by Per Gessle
� In that big big house there are fifty doors and one of them leads to your
� heart. In the time of spring I passed your gate and tried to make a start.
� All I knew was the scent of sea and dew but I've been in love before, how
� about you? There's a time for the good in life, a time to kill the pain in
� life, dream about the sun you queen of rain. In that big old house there
� are fifty beds and one of them leads to your soul. It's a bed of fear, a
� bed of threats, regrets and sheets so cold. All I knew your eyes so velvet
� blue, I've been in love before, how about you? There's a time for the good
� in life... It's time to place your bets in life, I've played the loser's
� game of life, dream about the sun you queen of rain. Time went by as I
� wrote your name in the sky, fly fly away, bye bye.
