Тексты:
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.
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.
Sleeping Single
(Per Gessle)
Here's the house. Here's the city and the stream. Here's the father to my dream. Here's the lost and lonely look in your eyes. When you leave I will break down and cry. Sleeping single I will wait for you. I'm sleeping single 'til you change your mind. Sleeping single I will wait for you 'til time has gone by. I'll pay the price For all the love you poured like rain "Toujours l'amour" over again, But the midnight chills are getting so rough And the bed is big enough for both of us. Sleeping single I would die for you. I'm sleeping single Won't you change your way. Sleeping single I will pray for you to stay, he-he-hey... he-he-hey...
Paint
(Per Gessle)
I've got a hot chilly feeling I don't understand. I've got to run through this minute Like a hurricane. I've got to tighten my wire From the sense to the soul. I find my back to the wall When it's time to go. I've got to know Is that your heartbeat? Paint... me right. Can you feel the heat in me tonight? Oh I, I'm the pearl... Paint your love all over my world. I get a love shock/electric From the touch of your hand. I'm getting lost in the riddles Of the modern man. I've got it up down All around tied to the bone. Hey, there's a strange situation On the late night show. I've got to know Is that your heartbeat? Paint... me right. Can you feel the heat in me tonight? Oh I, I'm the pearl... Paint your love all over my world. Do it right, I can feel the woman in me tonight. Oh I, I'm the pearl... Paint your love all over my world.
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...
View from a Hill
(Per Gessle)
Raging waves sweep this heavy heart. Cold is the colour of the dark. Find a byway and climb that hill, Watch the thunder cast a spell. What did you gain from love? Don't ask me! All for the sweetest thrill... I see a view from a hill - oh oh. I see it perfectly clear And I cry for the dreams that you kill - oh oh, View from a hill, And it's only a moment away. Love is a rainfall, hard on the head, No escape though you're soaking wet. Leave me blinded by your light. Leave me stranded alone tonight. What did you gain from love? Don't ask me! All for the cheapest thrill... I see a view from a hill - oh oh. I see it perfectly clear And I cry for the dreams that you kill - oh oh, View from a hill, And it's only a motion away.
Shadow of a Doubt
(Marie Fredriksson — Per Gessle)
I heard your heart, You held it close to me. The wild embrace, the silent sea, A whisper of imagery for Lovers Supreme. But now I'm lost in the crowd, No shadow of a doubt It's all over now, No shadow of a doubt. You changed the dream. You changed the scenery, The tender touch, The urge to breathe, There under a love lit sun What's lost could be found? But now, no trace of a sound, No shadow of a doubt. I'm far-away bound. No shadow of a doubt.
Listen to Your Heart
(Per Gessle — Mats Persson)
I know there's something In the wake of your smile. I get a notion From the look in your eyes, yea. You've built a love But that love falls apart. Your little piece of heaven turns too dark. Listen to your heart When he's calling for you. Listen to your heart There's nothing else you can do. I don't know where you're going And I don't know why, But listen to your heart Before you tell him goodbye. Sometimes you wonder If this fight is worthwhile. The precious moments Are all lost in the tide, yea. They're swept away And nothing is what it seems, The feeling of belonging to your dreams. And there are voices That want to be heard. So much to mention But you can't find the words. The scent of magic, The beauty that's been When love was wilder than the wind.
