Pearls of passion
(words and music, Per Gessle)
There was a banquet of believers when we walked into the room. December days of xmas felt like days in June. And there was morning light and sunrise shimes echoed all around. Now's the time for weary minds, the moon is northern bound. And you know I'm going back, going back today. Back to where I came from. And you know I'm going back, going back to stay.
To the alleys where pearls of passion came my way. There's a promise in the twilight, it's so innocent and wild. Two hearts that break the silence,
you can hear a distant cry. And there's emptiness and loneliness, it's more or less the same. Let's run between the raindrops, babe and catch the midnight train. And you know I'm going back, going back today. Back to where I came from. And you know I'm going back, going back to stay. To the alleys where
pearls of passion came my way.
It must have been love (Christmas for the broken hearted)
(words and music, 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 Christmas 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.
Turn to me
(words by Per Gessle and music by Marie Fredriksson)Turn to me when your heart breaks away. Turn to me don't turn me away. When everything's said and done. When you're looking for somewhere to run. Why don't you turn to me? Turn to me. Why don't you turn to me? Turn to me. Turn to me when the moon get too cold, turn to me when the story's been told. When everything's dim and grey. When you've hidden the rainbow away.
Why don't you turn to me? Turn to me. Why don't you turn to me? Turn to me. Now that Christmas is here. I'll shater your fears and if you want the secrets of mine turn to me and read these lonely eyes. Why don't you turn to me? Turn to me. Why don't you turn to me? Without me.
The sweet hello, the sad goodbye
(words and music, Per Gessle)
Red like fire was the day I met you I tell you now, there are no regrets in this room there are many memories some are goods, some I try to forget
I thought we were the chosen ones who were supposed to fly. We're very much the same, You and I - The sweet hello, the sad goodbye. Still waiting to get hurt, time after time - The sweet hello, the sad goodbye. When love lies in our hands we seem to run and hide and I can't help but wonder why. The sweet hello, the sad goodbye. My heart was like a runaway train, babe I don't believe I’ve ever felt more alive in this room I hear voices linger
We never talked about the pride you know, you're not the only one
Who now how to cry we're very much the same, You and I - The sweet hello, the sad goodbye. Still waiting to get hurt, time after time - The sweet hello, the sad goodbye. When loves lies in our hands we run away and hide
And I can't help but wonder why - The sweet hello, the sad goodbye
One is such a lonely number
(words and music, Per Gessle)I never knew when you walked in the room I’d sell my soul to a stranger
An angelface, yea. I’ve never had this kinda sight before. This kinda vision in white I’ll hang on tight, yea. And I know girl you’ve been around. Don’t you go
Don’t you let me down. 1 is such a lonely number, 2 make the world go round
3 is just a little too much to touch, now honey. To make the world go round
I think about what this has done to me I’m going back to the start back to schooldays I’ve never had this urge inside of me to hear the sound of a heart.
Fill the airwaves there’s a love line tied to the ground. Lead you here. Never lets you down. 1 is such a lonely number, 2 make the world go round, 3 is just a little too much to touch, now honey. To make the world go round. 1 is such a lonely number to mend a broken-heart, 3 is just a little too much to touch, hey honey, 2 make the world go round.
2.Cinnamon street
(words and music, 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. Thre was a boy on Cinnamon Street, the same age as me, we shared the curiosity. He won my heart cos he could play guitar. He promised me 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 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.
Almost Unreal
(words and music, Per Gessle)Babe, come in from the cold and put that coat to rest. Step inside, take a deep breath and do what you do best. Yeah, kick off your shoes and leave those city streets I do believe love came our way. And fate did arrange for us to meet. I love when you do that hokus pokus to me, the way that you touch. You've got the power to heal. You give me that look. It's almost unreal, it's almost unreal. Hey, we can't stop the rain. Lets find a place by the fire
Sometimes I feel strange as it seems. You've been in my dreams all my life
I love when you do that hokus pokus to me. The way that you touch. You've got the power to heal. You give me that look. It's almost unreal, it's almost unreal. It's a crazy world out there. Lets hope our prayers are in good hands tonight ... Do that hokus-pokus to me. Do that hokus-pokus to me
Don’t believe in accidents
(words and music, Per Gessle)
Anything can happen when I wind up alone with you. You put your fingers on the things I like to do. Well, anything can happen there’s a feel in the air around you. Commanding parts of me I never ever knew. I want your love of flesh and blood, hey you. This was really meant to be. It’s for shure our destiny, making lovers out of friends. Don’t believe in accidents. Anything can happen when you hit the electric room in me. I loose the time, place and everything i see. Well anything can happen there’s nothing else in the world
I'd rather do than to feed the secret dreams hidden in you. You want the love of flesh and blood, hey you. This was really meant to be. It’s for shure our destiny, making lovers out of friends. I don’t believe in accidents. I don't believe in accidents. Hey you. This was really meant to be. It’s for shure our destiny, making lovers out of friends. I don’t believe in accidents. I don't believe in accidents.
The voice
(words and music, Per Gessle)
Between the open heart and the whisper goodbye, there’s perfect teardrop in your eye. Between the lovers moon and the trembling sky there’s broken dream in your mind. And your voice is carrying the love you have lost. And the change of heart in someone you trust. Yea the voice is carrying the love and the scars. Hear the lonely voice in the dark between the careful touch and the breakaway kiss. There’s a beauty you can’t resist between the fall apart and the moment of bliss. There must be something more than this.
Crazy about you
(words and music, Per Gessle)I'm crazy about you. I'll give you all my love. Yes I'm crazy about you. Night and day, day and night. I'll be your heart's salvation. Hey baby, let's stay together, let's make it now and forever. I want to show it and shout it and tell the whole world about it. I thought it never could happen, I thought you never would see me. You run a lovin' locomotive, you make my needs very primitive. The more I get, the more I want from you, of your affection. When you're around, I'm in control, I feel a complete connection. Hello, hello, I'm so crazy about you, you know... baby. Hello, hello, hello, yes I'm crazy, so crazy about you. C'mon close your eyes, honey, trust me! I want to enjoy your body. I want to take you much higher and play the game of desire
Well I can't hide, I'm getting hungry for a bite. I'm blinded by this obsession, I keep dancing like your possession. I'll wrap my legs all around you, I'll show you total devotion. No need to talk, love will speak to you
With sweet emotions. Hello, hello, I'm so crazy about you, you know...baby
Hello, hello, hello, Yes I'm crazy, so crazy about you.
Seduce me
(words by Per Gessle, music by Marie Fredriksson & Per Gessle)Don't ever say you do, don't ever say you want to make me shine. You keep your mystery, don't ever try to be my guiding light. Don't ever say you care, don't follow when I'm here and everywhere. I'm blinded by your looks but there's a scent of heartache in the air, in the air. Hey you! Walk out through that door. And into that dream where I met you before. Babe, you seduce me, you take my heart and use me. My feelings all run wild when you seduce me all the time. Don't ever call me up, I never wanna hear your voice again. Oh lay your pretty hands on someone else. Somebody who don't know you well, know you well. Hey you! Your sweet sweet talk can't stay and get back to that dream. Let's both keep it that way, hey hey. Oh you seduce me, you pull my heart and use me. And I keep running blind when you seduce me all the time
Get back to that dream, let's both keep it that way, hey hey. Tell me once again. You seduce me, you take my heart and use me. My feelings all run wild when you seduce me all the time. When you seduce me all the time, you seduce me all the time, you seduce me.
Happy Together
(words and music, Per Gessle)When she walked up, he walked down. Just like the seasons, went round and around. She was in love, he wasn't sure. She wrote some letters, he tried to ignore. They could have been so happy together. They could have been so lucky in love. Sing la-di-dah, so happy together. They could have run the earth, the sky, the sun. She carried his ring since she left school. He knew she was precious, the prettiest jewel. She wanted a baby but he wasn't sure. He couldn't make up his mind anymore. She carried his ring since she left school.
He knew she was precious, the prettiest jewel. She wanted a baby but he wasn't sure. He couldn't make up his mind anymore. They could have been so happy together. They could have been so lucky in love. Sing la-di-dah, so happy together. They could have run the earth, the sky, the sun. I couldn't ever hurt no-one. If you feel shattered I'm sorry. For what I've done
We could have been so happy together. We could have been so happy together. Sing la-di-dah, so happy together. We could have run the earth, the sky, the sun. Yeah we could have been so happy together. We could have been so lucky in love. So happy together. We could have run the universe. Could have run the universe. Could have run the universe. For fun, so happy together.
Better Off On Her Own
(words and music, Per Gessle)My girl came home to me just the other day, acting OK. I was reading alone in my favourite room, the TV was on. May I be excused for not telling the truth
'Cos she's gone, she said she's better off on her own. She turned her head much better off on her own. My girl knocked on the door to the place I usually refer to as home. I died, shoelace untied she looked in my eyes, small and surprised. And God closed every gaze the moon fell into the lake. Boy, she's gone, a drift she's better off on her own. She closed, then she left much better off on her own. Sitting naked by the windowsill watching cars upon the hill. Am I sleeping? I was dreaming for just a moment time stood still. Better off on her own, better off on her own. Now she's gone, she said she's better of on her own. She turned her head much better off on her own. She's gone, she sighed she's better of on her own. The tears I cried much better off on her own. My girl came home to me just the other day.
See Me
(words by Per Gessle, music by Marie Fredriksson)With the moon and the sun in his eyes he's arriving. And I don't know what I'd do without him I got life suddenly. See, see me I've got nothing to hide
See me I've got nothing to hide. See me I'm leaving my heart in the palm of his hand so gently. I know he knows that I love him. Though I've never said is there an easy way. See, see me I've got nothing to hide. See me I've got nothing to hide. See me Coming home I'm coming home. It feels like I'm coming home, coming home. I'm coming home. See, see me I've got nothing to hide. See me I've got nothing to hide. See, see me.
Entering your heart
(words and music by Per Gessle)

I...... have failed so many times.... entering your mind.... entering your mind.... ohhh..... entering you heart woah.. entering you heart.
