How Do You Do!

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 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...

[Julia]

Fingertips
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 drawing 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.

[Julia]

The Look
Per Gessle

Walking like a man,
Hitting like a hammer,
She's a juvenile scamp.
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 - 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.

[Julia]

The Heart Shaped Sea
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.

[Julia]

The Rain
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.

[Julia]

Keep Me Waiting

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 clone 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...

[Julia]

It Must Have Been Love
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
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.
Well, 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.

[Julia]

Never Is A Long Time
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...

[Julia]

Things Will Never Be The Same
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.

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 the same.

Come Back(Before You Leave)
Per Gessle

Never look back on a love affair.
I never spent minutes on history,
It made me sad, it made me so sad.
And in no time no time at all
A change has begun and the name is You,
I feel strange, you've made my life strange.
Cos baby when you get close to me
I say there's a certain chemistry.

Come back before you leave.
I haven't got room for a broken heart.
Come back before you leave.
You shouldn't go at all,
You shouldn't go at all.

So many years and so many nights,
I still can recall oh the way that you move when you dance,
Do you want to dance?
We've had our habits and attitudes,
You make me remember the power when everything's right,
Please stay the night.
Cos baby when you get close to me
There's something about you I really need.

Come back before you leave...

Babe, come back before you leave,
I'll be the air for you when you breathe,
I'll be the rising sun.
Close the door, let's make love,
All God's angels sing above
Into the rising sun.

Come back before you leave...

[Julia]

Joyride
Per Gessle

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

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 fun-fair,
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.

'Cause 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 rocks you like a baby.

[Julia]

I Was So Lucky
Music & Lyrics Per Gessle


It's no secret I've been waiting
But I didn't expect this
Nothing will remain
Nothing stays the same
After you came

It's no secret I've been starving
I never felt anything for years
I sat up all night
Just to watch your smile
When you're sleeping

I was so lucky you came by
And turned a different corner
I could've been somewhere else
You could've passed by, could've passed by

Come on and sail the sea with me
Come on, let's go around the world
Maybe find a flat
Or a canyon house
For the season

I was so lucky you came by
And turned a different corner
It could've been someone else
You had in mind
I was so lucky you found me
My rags turned gold and silver
I could've been somewhere else
You could've passed by, could've passed by

What would you make of this, my baby?
The sun through the trees
Is there a better place to be?

I was so lucky you came by
And turned a different corner
It could have been someone else
You had in mind, oh my
I was so lucky you picked me
My trash turned to silver
Yea, I could have been somewhere else
You could've passed by, could'be passed by

[Julia]

Dressed For Success
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
Shaping me up for the big time, baby.
Get dressed for success
Shaping it up for your love, yea yea yea.

I'm gonna get dressed for success,
Hitting a spot for the big time, baby.

[Julia]

Dangerous

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...

[Julia]

Fading Like A Flower (Everytime You Leave)

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.

[Julia]

Spending My Time

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.

[Julia]

The Big L.

She's the top, she's got the world on a string.
She makes me boogie, makes me do anything yea yea.
- Hey now, touch the sky,
you've got a certain kind of look in your eyes.

Well, she's a miracle, she's all that I need
like the water and the air that I breathe yea yea.
- Hey now, reach the sky,
there's a certain kind of look in your smile.
And I know what love can do.
Yes I know what hearts can do.

The big love
is taking the wheel,
the big love
goes head over heels,
the big lust,
bring it into the small world,
the bigger, the better.
Big love,
waiting to catch the big one,
head over heels,
the big one,
bring it into the small world.
I'm building the big big love,
I'm building the big big love.

It's kinda strange, a bit mysterious,
I gotta take it oh so so serious.
- Hey now, touch the sky,
you've got a certain kind of look in your eyes.
It used to be so hard, so lonely at night,
well, she's my baby and I'm feeling alright.
- Hey now, move the sky,
there's a certain kind of look in that smile.

When I'm making love with her.
When I'm making love to her yea.
It has to be a big thing.
It's bringing me to my knees.
Has to be a big thing,
big thing,
ya know what I'm saying...

[Julia]

Salvation
Music & Lyrics Per Gessle


I can barely remember my past
Everything seems to disappear so fast
But I recall being jealous and alone
Gazing at the dreams going by

I started my life when you knocked on the door
Found something inside I didn't dare to ignore
Now I do believe in flowers on the moon
I'll swim beside the golden tide

You crashed by the gate
Captured my fate
Salvation
My eyes couldn't see
I hardly breathed
I was diving so deep
Salvation

I'm down in the study holding on to my luck
Will you still love me when I call you up?
I gave you my body, the power over me
Come on, bring out the best in me

You crashed by the gate
Captured my fate
Salvation
My eyes couldn't see
I hardly breathed
My heart was asleep
Salvation
Some will get broken
Others will get lucky like me meeting you
Don't pass me by

You crashed by the gate
Captured my fate
Salvation
My eyes couldn't see
I hardly breathed
I was down on my knees
Salvation
Some will get broken
Others will get lucky like me meeting you
Don't pass me by
Don't pass me by

I found salvation, oh yea
You bring me salvation
I found salvation

[Julia]

Silver Blue
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.

[Julia]

Here Comes The Weekend
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's only goes to show that here it comes,
Here it 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?

[Julia]

SO FAR AWAY


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 a 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 keep wondering why,
I keep on wondering 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 keep on wondering how, oh come inside me now.

[Julia]

Queen Of Rain
Per Gessle/M.P. Persson

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,
A time to kill the pain in life,
Dream about the sun you queen of rain.

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.

[Julia]

Stars
Music & Lyrics 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

Soul Deep
Save a prayer for a sinner and a saint, my baby's coming back.
Say a prayer, hide hide away yea baby's coming back.
Hey hey hey,
ain't gonna trouble his wandering mind,
gonna take on the time to find out if my love is

Soul deep - spinning the heart round a wire.
Soul deep - a heavenly wave.
Soul deep - heating the heart like a fire,
Soul deep is taking my breath away-ay-ay.

Save a tear till the curtain will fall, well I'm saving them all for you.
Knock on wood, is it understood
That I'm saving it up for you.
Hey hey hey, love is a hustle just a moment behind,
gonna walk on the line to find out if my love is

Soul deep...

Save a prayer for a sinner and a saint, my baby's coming back.
Say a prayer, hide hide away yea baby's coming back.
Hey hey hey ride on the soul train now I'm too close to hide,
gonna take on the time to find out if my love is
Soul deep...

[Julia]

Goodbye To You

Goodbye to you, goodbye to broken hearts,
goodbye to romance, hiding in the dark, nights that leave a scar.
Goodbye to you, goodbye to empty cards,
goodbye to this ball of bliss, I'm dancing from your arms.

And I fill the bedroom with silent visions of rain.
And I paint the morning with echoes from pleasure in pain.
I don't want to touch emotions, I just got to run away.
Electric blue like oceans, wild like lovers sway.

Goodbye to you...

And I seal the pillow and shatter dreams down the hall.
And I hang the heartache like pictures on the wall.
Can you hear the sound of angels they're playing hurting games?
Well, I'm a stranger when I'm leaving, I was a stranger when I came.

Goodbye to you...
