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!

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 Rain

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.

Crash! Boom! Bang!

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.
