Wash my pain away,
Half a woman, half a shadow…

Daylight is breaking again
I hide in the dark. I’m watching the rain.
You’re out of touch. You’re out of reach.
What can I say, I never wanted it this way.

Love sleeps all alone
The cold telephone I know the heart.
Yes, I know the kind The kisses of fire
Turning to grey I never wanted it this way
I always wanted you to stay

Wash my pain away
Cause I’m half a woman half a shadow.

Love always change with the trees
the spring and the leaves the waves on the sea
Wilder than light the wind in your eyes
led me astray I never wanted it this way
I always wanted you to stay

Oh I need you yes I need you
Give me a reason to believe

Mi propio padre qua me conocía
no se equivocó
dudaba da mi

Mi madre siempre todo lo sabía
No doy más da no, no doy más de si
soy así

Cada vez que me enamoro yo…
Crash! Boom! Bangi
Siento algo como vértigo
Crash! Boom! Bang!
Soy un tren un misil
voy a cien, voy a mil

Mi corazón me ha superdemostrado
que pierdo el control en la intimidad
que soy capaz de
dar mi amor privado
a aquel que me da sus ganas de amar
me dejo llevar

Cada vez qua me enamoro yo..
Crash! Boom! Bang!
Siento algo como vértigo…
Crash! Boom! Bang!
Yo no sé ni quién soy
nada pido, todo doy
soy así, natural
vaya bien o fatal

Me dejo llevar
por la piel
por instinto
puedo morir
por amor, sin solución

Cada vez qua me enamoro yo…
Crash! Boom! Bang!

Oh, yeah… Oh, yeah…
Soy así: Crash! Boom! Bang!

Spanish lyrics: Luis G. Escolar – Jimmy Fun Music

I know her and every notion I get from her I wear inside me
I know her all of the broken leaves of love she leaves behind
Oh – don’t you hide away from the rain
Oh – can you tell me the name of this game?
I got to get thru to you

Behind the door
another wall
a lonely cry
a call of the wild

A dancing daze
an empty face
a crystal high
a call of the wild

And there is something that sweeps the dark
a lover’s dart
the call of a broken heart

Wrapped in the night
behind these eyes
oh hear the cry
the call of the wild

I know her and in my mind I dream of her
how she aches without me
I know her and every heart is a lonely number when she walks by
Oh – can you read the hurt in my eyes?
Oh – don’t you leave without saying goodbye
I got to get thru to you

Behind the door
another wall
a lonely cry
a call of the wild

A dancing daze
an empty face
a crystal high
a call of the wild
and there is something that sweeps the dark
a lover’s dart
the call of a broken heart

Wrapped in the night
behind these eyes
oh hear the cry
the call of the wild

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

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

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 it’s all over

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

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 (left left left) me alone (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 (left left left) me alone (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 (left left left) me alone (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

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
Following 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
Following 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
Wish I could fly now
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

To try to find out
Who you really are

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

Breathe some faith into my chest
lay me down i need the rest
ever since the sky turned grey
I’ve waited for the perfect day

Hey now
– it seems you’ve always touched me
like the sun

There’s no escape for the broken-hearted
there’s no return once you’ve lost your way
I say a prayer now our love’s departed
that you’ll come back to stay
and bring the perfect day

Blinded by a crazy light
I fell into the darkest night
those magic ties the two of us
I couldn’t see it turn to dust

Hey now
– it seems you’ve always reached me
like the sun

There’s no escape for the broken-hearted
there’s no return once you’ve lost your way
I say a prayer now your love’s departed
that you’ll come back to stay
bring back the perfect day

I hit the coast with the faith of a preacherman
I saw a ghost with a face like a madman
I had this dream I was sleeping at the Royal Ball
I hit the streets
hey watch me in the monitor!
I saw a clone who looked just like a senator
I checked the clock I felt that it was time to go go go

Then came you
Why did you keep me waiting so long?
Why did you keep me waiting so long?
Why did you keep me waiting so long?

I was a spy I was captured by the enemies
I made a million selling secret fantasies
I saw my love wasted in a pale grey zone
I was the quake shaking every monument
I had to fi-find out what all the money meant
I checked the sun I knew that it was time to go go go

Then came you
Why did you keep me waiting so long?
Why did you keep me waiting so long?
Why did you keep me waiting so long?

Hi! I got to go
get aboard
attack a love jet heaven and back
my-my-my-my-my-my-my
and I got to find a power station
with a beat
I can’t take no conversation
my-my-my-my-my-my-my
looking for the inspiration

All succumb to the physical fascination
all succumb to the physical fascination

Hi! shake shake it up
this love divine
you’re out of touch babe
I’m going out of my mind
my-my-my-my-my-my-mind
Talk to me! why don’t you talk to me?
C’mon and use your body language
and have yourself a good time
my-my-my-my-my-my-my
and radiate your sweet temptation

All succumb to the physical fascination
all surrender to the physical fascination
yea yea yea yea

It’s not the chapters he reads
when you’re feeling low down
it’s not the touch of his skin
when you kiss him goodnight
it’s not the money he spends
when you want to buy a daydream
and not that miracle smile
that makes the sky bright
it’s not the way his hands behave
when you’ve turned out the light

It’s the small small small talk
that makes it all happen
small small small talk
that makes you want to fly
yes it does

It’s not the way he believes in
you like a religion
it’s not the thrill that you get
when he’s holding you tight
it’s not the way his eyes persuade
you to stay the night

It’s the small small small talk
that makes it all happen (just like that)
small small small talk
that makes you feel like flying
yes it does

information heart and soul
a whisper a word
confessions that have to be heard
small small talk small small talk

come on now come on now come on
– you make it rock so heavenly
come on now come on now come on
– you seem to talk so heavenly
big words…
small talk…

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

every breeze will blow

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

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

Chasing your shadow
the senses together
four-leafed and clever
I come from behind.

Chasing your shadow
I wander in circles
you’re 1 in a million
we’re 2 of a kind.

It’s you that I long for
it’s you that I hunger
oh you are the maker
of waves in my mind.

We dance in the moonlight
a run on the wire
drawing a fine line
a neverending love.

The fever turns slowly
into a fire
drawing a fine line
a neverending love.

Chasing your shadow
moon and the water
field and the reaper
star and the sky.

Chasing your shadow
hammer and heartbeat
clay and new concrete
I follow the signs

It’s you that I long for
it’s you that I hunger
and you are the maker
of waves in my mind.

We dance in the moonlight
a run on the wire
drawing a fine line
a neverending love.

The fever turns slowly
into a fire
drawing a fine line
a neverending love.

We dance in the moonlight
a run on the wire
drawing a fine line
a neverending love.

The fever turns slowly
into a fire
drawing a fine line
a neverending love.

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

There was a girl on Cinnamon Street
the same age as me
we shared the curiosity
I won her heart cos I could play guitar
she 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 all 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

I knew this would happen
and I don’t want to be around
when it gets out
I’ve closed the last picture
and painted the window
inside and out
give me your dreams and I’ll give you my time
together we’ll cross the borderline

Voices – cracking the night
Voices – that cut like a knife
Voices – hear them singing: Ooh ooh

From sparks to the fire
from here to obsession they cover the end
twisting a match
and see the reflections of hunters of men
give me your dreams and I’ll give you my time
until we make it to the borderline

Voices – cracking the night
Voices – that cut like a knife
Voices – hear them singing: Ooh ooh

She knows I’d do anything she wants me to
the love she finds is deeper then the ocean
she knows I’d do anything she wants me to
a river of dew warmer than the dawning

Surrender – tie the cover to the ground
surrender – tie the cover to the ground
but don’t turn around and walk away again
don’t turn around and walk away again

He knows I’d say anything he wants to hear
bright and clear call the voice of lovers
he knows I’d do anything he wants me to
like ruby rain I wash away the pain

Surrender – tie the cover to the ground
surrender – tie the cover to the ground
but don’t turn around and walk away again
don’t turn me down and walk away again

It’s a madman’s situation
reminiscing in the rain
and I’ve lost your love again
I call your name

And I don’t wanna think about it
when I go to sleep at night
can you hear it in the wind?
I call your name

I call your name
I call your name
I call your name
I call your name

And I close the door behind me
and I turn the lights all down
there’s no one there beside me
I call your name

And I don’t wanna think about it
but I wind up all the same
nothing’ll ever change
I call your name

I call your name
I call your name
I call your name
I call your name

Lie awake under the stars
lie awake under the stars
Lie awake under the stars
lie awake under the stars

I call your name
I call your name
I call your name

Goodbye to you
goodbye to broken hearts
goodbye to romance
hiding in the dark
nights that leave a scar

Goodbye to you
goodbye to empty cards
goodbye to this ball of bliss
I’m dancing from your arms

And I fill the bedroom with silent visions of rain
and I paint the morning with echoes from pleasure in pain
I don’t want to touch emotions
I just got to run away
electric blue like oceans
wild like lover sway

Goodby to you
goodbye to broken hearts
goodbye to romance
hiding in the dark
nights that leave a scar

Goodbye to you
goodbye to empty cards
goodbye to this ball of bliss
I’m dancing from your arms

And I seal the pillow and shatter dreams down the hall
and I hag the heartache like pictures on the wall
can you hear the sound of angels playing hurting games?
Well, I’m a stranger when I’m leaving
I was a stranger when I came

Goodby to you
goodbye to broken hearts
goodbye to romance
hiding in the dark
nights that leave a scar

Goodbye to you
goodbye to empty cards
goodbye to this ball of bliss
I’m dancing from your arms

I move all right
I got the wheels going ’round
making ways in the night
yea we’re movin’ all right
wipin’ the rain from the ground
and the pale from the sky but something happens
in his heart when the morning comes

The secrets that she keeps away from me
the tears on the pillow she don’t want me to see
well every little thing she does is for me
but somebody new is breaking us in two

He’s the kind of love that makes a whirl in your mind
like the tide and the time
With just a little bit o’soul
he fights to find peace of mind
in these shattering eyes
but something happens
in his heart when the morning comes

The secrets that she keeps away from me
the tears on the pillow she don’t want me to see
well every little thing she does is for me
but somebody new is breaking us in two

The secrets that she keeps away from me
the tears on the pillow she don’t want me to see
well every little thing she does is for me
but somebody new is breaking us in two

The secrets that she keeps away from me
The love of you and me

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?

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?

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 station

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?

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

Can’t we leave the world outside
just for a while?
just for a while?
and spend some time, you and I
under this bright glorious sky

It’s been so long since i first saw you
but I still love that smile in your eyes

Yes it’s true, right from the start
I believed in the church of your heart
yes it’s you that made me be part of
and believe in the church of your heart

Step inside, lay yourself down
just for a while
rest for a while
I can hear a thundering sound
beating inside when you’re around

It’s been so long since I first met you
since we made love
you know how time flies

Yes it’s true, right from the start
I believed in the church of your heart
yes it’s you that made me be part of
and believe in the church of your heart
in the church of your heart

When the day gets dark
over a thousand streets
and you feel your heart is a living beat

When you’re all alone
and you close your eyes
naked to the bone
the dream comes alive

Do you get excited
when I touch you in the night?
my oh my…

Do you get excited
when I meet you every night?
you won’t let the night pass you by

When your body’s hot
the window’s open wide
this moment’s all you got
in this race of life
when you feel the fire
is getting close to you
hey baby, you know I’m lonely too

Do you get excited
when I touch you in the night?
my oh my…
do you get excited
when I meet you every night?

You won’t let the night pass you by

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

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

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

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

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

I’ve been hiding
I’ve been hiding
lost in the love of another
I’ve followed the moon and a song
and I thought it would take me forever
to find a place where I belong

I watch a rainbow rise
I give you all I’ve got

I could never give you up
the way you make my love shine
I could never give you up
the way you make true love shine

I believe you when you say
you don’t want to be lonely
I’ll carry your heart like a bridge
when you need all the time you can find
to get the hurt out of your mind

I’ll watch the rain go by
and give you all I’ve got

Cause I could never give you up
the way you make my love shine
I could never give you up
the way you make true love shine

Babe it’s time to tell me that it’s over
tell me that it’s over it’s plain to see
and this time we won’t be starting over
no crying on your shoulder into the heart shaped sea
oh you’ve been a-running from our door
and you’ve been enchanted by the gracious voice of love

Babe it’s time to look me in the eyes
time to say goodbye it’s clear to me
and this time I won’t let you down
you can turn around I’ll set you free
Oh you’ve been a-sailing from our shore
and you’ve been enchanted by someone from afar

Babe it’s time to gather all the harvest
to pray before the winter
and sail the heart shaped sea
Oh you’ve been a-running from my love
and you’ve been enchanted by the powers up above

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

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 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 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
you know she 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
she’s armed and extremely dangerous…

Hear my call
here and everwhere
I’ve been walking the streets in despair
one more fire turns a shade of grey
one more tear is lost in the rain.

And I say that I love you
I say that I need you
baby I leave you a sign of desire
no shadow will haunt you
no heart will desert you
no one will hurt you
no space or no time

Got to got you got to got to take your chances on me
like the river will lead the water to the sea
take on me
take your chances on me
don’t ever let it be
don’t ever let it be

There’s a night when you close your eyes around a dream
that shines like the sun
everyone knows it’s beautiful
tell me why you want to dream it alone

And I say that I love you
I say that I need you
baby I leave you the lines in my palm
No darkness will get you
no heart will desert you
nothing can hurt you or do you any harm

Got to got you got to got to take your chances on me
like the river will lead the water to the sea
take on me
take your chances on me
don’t walk away from me
don’t walk away from me

Living here without you is not an easy way of life
I spend my time without you
I try to make it all worthwhile
standing in a rainfull coming down from the sky

Why should I cry over you?
Why should I cry cry cry over you?

I keep on thinking about you
I’ve got no private pride to hide
I’ve built my world around you
like a call without reply
my love has lost direction
she’s got the sun in her eyes

Why should I cry over you?
Why should I cry cry cry over you?

Hearing your footsteps
loud on my stairs
a walking…
living without you
Feeling the sweet sweet smell of love in the air
I can feel it
living without you
Kissing the face that I see everywhere
but I’m living without you
living without

There’s a hidden meaning in everything she says
every close encounter
every kiss
every caress
even the truth has got that bitter taste of a lie
Well, I can read this lips but I can’t read his mind

I can see him dance away now
Oh oh – oh oh oh

He was one of the kind that seems so hard to find
there’s a change of weather
now he leaves me far behind
that I don’t matter to him came as such a surprise
Well, I can read his lips
I thought I red his eyes

I can see him dance away now
Oh oh – oh oh oh

I can see him dance away now
Oh oh – oh oh oh

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 nite 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

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-hey … he-he-hey…

Didn’t I tell you everything is possible in this déjà vu?
Try the river boat the carousel feed the pigeons Bar-B-Q
look at all the people happy faces all around
smiling throwing kisses busy making lazy sounds

It’s a bright June afternoon it never gets dark
Wah-wah! Here comes the sun
Get your green green tambourine let’s play in the park
Wah-wah! Here comes the sun

Some folks are on blankets slowly daydreaming
and reaching for their food
let’s go buy an icecream and a magazine with an attitude
and put on the cassette we can pretend that you’re a star
cos life’s so very simple just like la-la-la

It’s a bright June afternoon it never gets dark
Wah-wah! Here comes the sun
Get your green green tambourine let’s play in the park
Wah-wah! Here comes the sun

There’s a painter painting his masterpiece
there are some squirrels jumping in the trees
there’s a wide-eyed boy with a red balloon
all my life I’ve longed for this afternoon

It’s a bright June afternoon it never gets dark
Wah-wah! Here comes the sun
get your green green tambourine let’s play in the park
Wah-wah! Here comes the sun

Marie: This is a very Per Gessle-ish song… straight, simple, sunny. Per: A summer song , written in winter. Gessle-ish? Yeah, maybe. Marie: Yes, it’s so much you… perfect for you to sing. Per: Well, in my litle world songs like this have always topped the charts. I’ve sent lots of dead simple songs like this to other artists and they all seem to have problems doing them right, especially if they’ve got big voices – whereas I can get away with it – almost. Marie: Almost always. Per: You know, our producer Clarence Öfwerman sometimes jokes about my songs being too much “ice cream and balloons”, too jolly and lightweight – but this is actually the first Roxette song to include both “ice cream” and “balloons” in the lyrics. A nice first.

From “Don’t Bore Us – Get To The Chorus!”

In a time where the sun descends alone
I ran a long long way from home
to find a heart that’s made of stone
I will try, I just need a little time
to get your face right out of my mind
to see the world through different eyes

Every time I see you oh I try to hide away
but when we meet it seems I can’t let go
every time you leave the room
I feel I’m fading like a flower

Tell me why
when I scream there’s no reply
when I reach out there’s nothing to find
when I sleep I break down and cry

Every time I see you oh I try to hide away
but when we meet it seems I can’t let go
every time you leave the room
I feel I’m fading like a flower

Fading like a rose
fading like a rose
beaten by the storm
talking to myself
getting washed by the rain
it’s such a cold cold town

Every time I see you oh I try to hide away
but when we meet it seems I can’t let go
every time you leave the room
I feel I’m fading like a flower

Save a prayer for a sinner and a saint
my baby’s coming back
say a prayer
hide hide away yea baby’s coming back
hey hey hey ain’t gonna trouble his wandering mind
gonna take on the time to find out

If my love is
soul deep – spinning the heart round a wire
soul deep – a heavenly wave
soul deep – heating the heart like a fire
soul deep is taking my breath away-ay-ay

Save a tear till the curtain will fall
well I’m saving them all for you
knock on wood
is it understood that I’m saving it up for you
hey hey hey
love is a hustle just a moment behind
gonna walk on the line to find out
if my love is soul deep…

Save a prayer for a sinner and a saint
my baby’s coming back
say a prayer
hide hide away yea yea baby’s coming back

hey hey hey
ride on the soul train
now I’m too close to hide
gonna take on the time to find out
if my love is soul deep…

Going through the motions
ending up nowhere at all
can’t see the sun on my wall
going through emotions
ending up on a frozen morning
with a heart not even broken

Seems I’ve been running all my life
all my life
seems I’ve been running all my life
all my life like watercolours in the rain

Find a place to settle down
get a job in a city nearby
and watch the trains roll on by
I’ll find the falling star
I’ll fall in love with the eyes of a dreamer
and a dream worth believing

Seems I’ve been running all my life
all my life
seems I’ve been running all my life
all my life like watercolours in the rain

Are you ready? go!

I hear your footsteps like you’re walking
I hear your voice like you’re talking to me
and I can reach every moment
every caress like i’m living a dream
down to the bone
go little darling

Oh I remember you
feels like it was yesterday
I remember you
you’ve got me running back again
you shared my secrets and my laughter
I fell in love with the light in your eyes
and I believed that summer would go on and on
for the rest of my life
down to the bone
go little darling

hey I remember you
feels like it was yesterday
I remember you
you’ve got me running back again
you’ve got me running
I say: na na na na na na na na na na

Hey now honey you got to face the floor

but you couldn’t find the door
could you? Could you?
Well I’m standing in the sun
but I’m living in the rain
I got to get a-whirlin’
like a human hurricane over you over you

Now you’re looking like a fox on the run
and you’re faster than a shot from a gun
I’m pointing at you oh you

I thought we had love in store
– you keep on knockin’ on every door

Hey now honey time is all you’ve spent
you moved into the bed
but you couldn’t pay the rent
could you?
In the twinkle of an eye you electrify
I got to get a-shootin’ like a rocket in the sky
bye bye goodbye

Now you’re burning like you’re hot on the scene
don’t you love to steal a part of my dream?
I’m looking at you oh you
talking ’bout you yea you

I thought we had love in store
– you keep on knockin’ on every door
babe I’ve seen it all before
– you keep on knockin’ on every door
ain’t no sugar you ignore

Hotblooded

“can I call?” – you can call me miss…

In everything I see you appear with me
how come? How come?
and everything I do involves you too
we are like one
in my life there has been so many changes
and I don’t want to be left out in the rain

I don’t want to get hurt
I’ve done my time
all I want from you is to tell the truth
I don’t want to get hurt no more this time
I don’t want to go blind
and find it’s falling apart all the time

In the middle of a dream you are there for me
your face your lips
but there’s no way you can tell
cos I hide it really well, so well
in my life there has been loving and lying
and I don’t another reason to cry

I don’t want to get hurt
I’ve done my time
All I want from you is to tell the truth
I don’t want to get hurt no more this time
I don’t want to go blind
and find I’m falling apart one more time

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

We grew up together
we’ve been here forever
barefoot in the summer
cold in stormy wheather
she taught me all there is
magic and love
lots of forgotten words

But now
she doesn’t live here anymore
she’s off and she’s gone
she doesn’t live here anymore
I’m sorry that’s all
there is to it
I’m sorry that’s all

She dressed just like a painter
a female street Picasso
and I I will remember
the heaven in her laughter
and the scent of her sweet perfume
when we made love under an August moon

But now
she doesn’t live here anymore
she’s off and she’s gone
she doesn’t live here anymore
she’s gone since long so long
she doesn’t live here anymore
she took off and left home
she doesn’t live here anymore

I’m sorry that’s all
there is to it
I’m sorry that’s all
that’s all

Babe, come in from the cold
and put that coat to rest
Step inside
take a deep breath
and do what you do best

Yea, kick off them 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 hocus pocus 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
let’s 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 hocus pocus 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
Let’s hope our prayers are in good hands tonight

What’s the time?
Seems it’s already morning
I see the sky it’s so beautiful and blue
the TV’s on
but the only thing showing is a picture of you

Oh I get up and make myself some coffee
I try to read a bit but the story’s too thin
I thank the Lord above
that you’re not here to see me
in this shape I’m in

Spending my time
watching the days go by
feeling so small I stare at the wall
hoping that you think of me too
I’m spending my time

I try to call
but I don’t know what to tell you
I leave a kiss on your answering machine
Oh help me please
is there someone who can make me
wake up from this dream?

Spending my time
watching the days go by
feeling so small I stare at the wall
hoping that you are missing me too
I’m spending my time

Spending my time
watching the sun go down
I fall asleep to the sound of “Tears of a Clown”
a prayer gone blind
I’m spending my time

My friends keep telling me:
“Hey, life will go on
time will make sure I get over you
this silly game of love –
you play, you win only to lose.”

Spending my time
watching the days go by
feeling so small
I stare at the wall
hoping that you think of me too
I’m spending my time

Spending my time
watching the sun go down
I fall asleep to the sound of “Tears of a Clown”
a prayer gone blind
I’m spending my time

She’s the top she’s got the world on a string.
She makes me boogie makes me do anything yea yea.
Hey now touch the sky
you’ve got a certain kind of look in your eyes.
Well she’s a miracle she’s all that I need
like the water and the air that I breathe yea yea.
Hey now reach the sky
there’s a certain kind of look in your smile.
And I know what love can do
yes I know what hearts can do.

The big love is taking the wheel
the big love goes head over heels
the big lust bring it into a small world
the bigger the better.
Big love waiting to catch the big one
head over heels
the big one bring it into the small world.
I’m building the big big love
I’m building the big big love.

It’s kinda strange a bit mysterious
I got to take it oh so so serious.
Hey now touch the sky
you’ve got a certain kind of look in your eyes.
It used to be so hard so lonely at night;
well she’s my baby and I’m feeling alright.
Hey now move the sky
there’s a certain kind of look in that smile.
When I’m making love with her
when I’m making love to her yea.

The big love is taking the wheel
the big love goes head over heels
the big lust; bring it into a small world
the bigger; the better.
Big love; waiting to catch the big one
head over heels
the big one; bring it into the small world.
I’m building the big big love
I’m building the big big love.

It has to be a big thing.
It’s bringing me to my knees.
Has to be a big thing big thing
ya know what I’m saying…
