Crush
On You
(words and music by Per Gessle)
I'm a zombie in the moonlight. I'm sleepin' when it's daylight.
I really should be alright but I'm feelin' kinda uptight.
I'm messin' with a neighbour who killed my amp and Fender.
He looked to sweet and tender. It's hard to tell his gender.
Got coffee on the paper. My dog's an alligator. I want you now and
later.
I got a crush got a crush on you. Got a crush got a crush on you.
I'm rentin' the wrong movie. I'm laughin' at the wrong guy.
I'm drivin' on the wrong side. My brain is gettin' cock-eyed.
The flag is never chequered. Can't find my F-beat records.
God, give a little lovin'. The money's in the oven.
Got dead flies in my scotch with ice. My talents always vaporize.
I want your bird of paradise.
I got a crush got a crush on you. Got a crush got a crush on you.
Crush! Crush! We got a good thing goin' on.
Crush! Crush! Such a good thing goin' on.
I'm freezin' in the summer. I'm sweatin' in the winter.
No middle in the centre. No colours in the printer.
No treatment at the pharmacy. No lessons learned from history.
No future in the factory. No meaning in the poetry.
No changin' in the weather. No Elvis in the leather. 
I want you now or never.
I got a crush got a crush on you. Got a crush got a crush on you.
Wish I Could Fly
(words and music by Per Gessle)
Halfway through the night I wake up in a dream.
Echoes in my head make every whisper turn into a scream.
I dreamed I could fly out in the blue.
Over this town followin' you. Over the trees, subways and cars.
I'd try to find out who you really are.
In the middle of the night, cool sweatin' in my bed.
Got the windows open wide, thinkin' about all the things you said.
I wish I could fly out in the blue. Over this town followin' you.
I'd fly over rooftops, the great boulevards
to try to find out who you really are. Who you really are.
I wish I could fly now. I wish I could fly now.
I wish I could fly now. I wish I could fly around and around.
Over this town, the dirt on the ground.
I'd follow your course of doors left ajar
to try to find out who you really are. Who you really are.
Fly, fly, fly. I wish I could fly.
I wake up in a dream in the middle of the night.
I wish I could fly. I wish I could fly.
You
Can't Put Your Arms Around What's Already Gone
(words and music by Per Gessle)
I saw red, stayed at home. Placed a big pillow over the phone.
In this town where I'm from I've learned two is so much better than one.
But you left me alone. You can't put your arms around what's already gone.
Watch you sink like a stone. You can't put your arms around what's already
gone.
Well, you hurt to the core. You used to kiss like no one had done before
and your taste turned me on. Now you drive me real crazy just by being
born.
Cos you left me alone
and you can't put your arms around what's already gone. Watch you sink
like a stone.
You can't put your arms around what's already gone.
Baba b-baba b-baba ba. Baba b-baba b-baba ba.
Took the tram 'round the bay where everyone tells you to have a nice day.
And my pride almost broke when the tears don't fit you, you look like a joke.
And you left me alone.
You can't put your arms around what's already gone. Cryin' eyes gettin'
worn.
You can't put your arms around what's already gone. Hey, you left me alone.
You can't put your arms around what's already gone. Watch you sink like
a stone.
You can't put your arms around what's already gone.
Baba b-baba b-baba ba. Baba b-baba b-baba ba.
Waiting
For The Rain
(words and music by Marie Fredriksson)
I'm waiting for the rain. I'm waiting for you. I'm waiting for the rain.
To clean my soul.
I'm waiting for the rain. Nothing's gonna be better without you.
The day you left me. The day you came. I'll never forget you. Feel you
in my pain.
The time stood still. The time was flying. I wonder why I'm not dying.
I'm waiting for the sun. I'm waiting for a new day.
I'm waiting for the night to close my eyes.
I'm waiting for the dark. Oh it's gonna be harder without you.
The way we danced I'll always miss. I'll never forget the way we kissed.
The time stood still. The time was flying.
I wonder why I'm not dying. Na na na na na. Na na na na na.
Anyone
(words and music by Per Gessle)
Anyone who have a love close to this knows what I'm saying.
Anyone who wants a dream to come true knows how I'm feeling.
All I can think of is you and me doing the things I wanna do.
All I imagine is heaven on earth I know it's you.
Anyone who ever kissed in the rain knows the whole meaning.
Anyone who ever stood in the light needs no explaining.
But everything more or less appears so meaningless, blue and cold.
Walking alone through the afternoon traffic, I miss you so.
Anyone who felt like I do. Anyone who wasn't ready to fall.
Anyone who loved like I do knows it never really happens at all.
It's over when it's over. What can I do about it now that it's over.
Everything more or less is looking so meaningless and fades to grey.
Lying awake in an ocean of teardrops, I float away.
Anyone who ever felt like I do. Anyone who wasn't ready to fall.
Anyone who loved like I do knows it never really happens at all.
It's over when it's over. What can I do about it. Now that it's over, hey
baby.
Anyone who ever felt like I do. Anyone who wasn't ready to fall.
Anyone who loved like I do knows it never really happens at all.
It's over when it's over. What can I do about it.
Now, now it's all over. It's all over baby.
Anyone. Anyone. Anyone who loved like I do.
It
Will Take A Long Long Time
(words and music by Per Gessle)
Sunny called, I was in the hall and made a note, I have to paint the kitchen
walls.
An angel smiled across the room. All in all, it was a lazy afternoon.
Then I thought about you. I think it was some sweet song that I heard.
Got to get goin' goin' ahead. It will take a long, long time.
Got to go ahead and deal with my life. It has taken such a long time this
time.
Sunny called, I was in the bath and heard the rain hit the roof and tiles real
hard
(hit the roof real hard/hit the roof). Then I ran through my magazines.
A few letters poorly hidden in a jar (hidden in a jar/oh what a jar!).
And I thought about you. It must have been some old pictures I found.
Got to get goin' goin' ahead. It will take a long, long time, yea yea.
Got to go ahead and deal with my life. It has taken such a long time this
time.
Inganakee leo yo. Inganakee leo.
7Twenty7
(words and music by Per Gessle)
7twenty7 is ready to move. You know she packed her bags with nothing left to
prove.
I thought I didn't care. Now I'm fallin' through. Wouldn't you?
Well, it's a long long journey to the other side.
Oh I've been wishin' all night I was on that flight.
And God, you'd better take care of the sweetest eyes.
I hear myself swallowin' the tears I cry. I hear myself swallowin' the
tears I cry.
7twenty7 is up in the air. You know I feel her hands on me everywhere.
I thought I didn't care. Now I'm saying a prayer.
Hey mister, do you know the way to salvation square?
It's a long long winter 'til the birds will sing.
Oh I'll be waitin' all night for the phone to ring.
I'm goin' up in smoke and phoney magazines.
Everything is just pieces of my stupid dreams.
Everything is just spieces of my stupid dreams.
With the clouds passin' by. With the clouds passin' by. It's all right.
7twenty7 is close to the sky. It carries the world between hello and goodbye.
Like the Monday we met that disappeared in a breath.
Like the Sunday she left forever smellin' of death.
Another jet black night, another drink to go.
Oh I'll be diving my head in the pure white snow.
God, you'd better take care of this gold skinned friend.
Tell me, will I ever see her again. Tell me, will I ever see her again.
I
Was So Lucky
(words and music by 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.
Stars
(words and music by 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.
Salvation
(words and music by 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. Salvation. Salvation.
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. You bring me salvation.
Pay
The Price
(words and music by Per Gessle)
I try to keep your name and still get rid of your face.
I hate to be by myself, all locked away in this place.
You turn me inside out. You turn me outside in.
Around and upside down. A rollercoaster within.
Pay the price of love when he calls for you.
You've got to pay the price of love when he calls for you.
I grab my big black book and call the numbers I know.
Something is melting this town, like it was all made of snow.
You turn me inside out. You turn me outside in.
Around and up and down. The elevator within.
Pay the price of love (ooh la la la) when he calls for you.
You've got to pay the price of love (ooh la la la) when he calls for you.
Spending the evening alone with the 10 o'clock news.
Looking at you through the holes in the soles of my old brown shoes.
Cooper
(words and music by Per Gessle)
Cooper went out late last night. I heard the slam from her door.
Foggy ways, November daze. All the white wolves were smiling.
Cooper went out walkin' the clouds. She left everything in a mess.
"Shut your mouth when you talk to me". Her words were always so small.
And there's a sound from the telephone. When can I say she's coming home?
Leave me the number you're dialing from and may I ask who's calling?
May I ask who's calling?
Cooper went out, 3 o'clock sharp. I heard the bells from the church.
Someone said they saw a car picking her up by the stations.
Cooper went out and that's all there is. I'm just no one from next door.
Everything will be alright when all the flowers have cried.
Then there's a voice on the telephone. When can I say she's coming home?
Leave me the number you're dialing from and may I ask who's callin'?
(Who's calling?) May I ask who's calling? (Who's calling?) May I ask who's calling?
Staring
At The Ground
(words and music by Per Gessle)
I'm staring at the ground. I'm bloodless, thrown away from the sun.
What's lost cannot be found.
I can't return your tears if I ever live to be a thousand years.
I'm staring at the ground. I never wished you a broken heart.
Coincidence put you down.
He won't withdraw those tears if you ever lived to be a thousand years.
What do I have to say to make you stay? What do I have to do to make you happy?
I'm staring at the ground. I wish I could bring the spring to your door.
To the coldest side of town.
I carry your wounded dreams, like the devil's deeds in the pocket of my jeans.
What do I have to say to make you stay? What do I have to do to make you happy?
Beautiful
Things
(words and music by Per Gessle)
Beautiful things are comin' my way. Beautiful things, I want them to stay.
But after a while my beautiful things don't seem beautiful at all.
Terrible things like when you wake up and all of your dreams seem to crack
up.
Like things you have done like breakin' my heart. For you it don't seem
terrible at all.
Is there someone I can talk to? Someone on the line?
Does anybody want to hear What's on my mind?
Beautiful things like leaves on a tree. Beautiful things, the sky and the
sea.
Since you've been gone no beautiful things seem beautiful to me.
Is there someone I can talk to? Someone out there on the line?
Does anybody want to hear What's on my mind?
Make the grass grow in the garden when the rain is passin' by.
Does anybody want to know what's on my mind ?
