Harleys & Indians (Riders In The Sky)

Words & Music by Per Gessle
Published by Jimmy Fun Music

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!

Words & Music 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

Words & Music by Per Gessle
Published by Jimmy Fun Music

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

Words & Music by Per Gessle
Published by Jimmy Fun Music

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 / These 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

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 hard 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

Words & Music by Per Gessle
Published by Jimmy Fun Music

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

Words & Music by Per Gessle
Published by Jimmy Fun Music

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

Words & Music by Per Gessle
Published by Jimmy Fun Music

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

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?

Words & Music by Per Gessle
Published by Jimmy Fun Music

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?

Published by Jimmy Fun Music

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 awy 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?

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

Words & Music by Per Gessle
Published by Jimmy Fun Music

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 / 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

Words by Per Gessle, Music by Marie Fredriksson
Published by Jimmy Fun Music/Shock The Music

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.
