Wait For me! (Vänta På Mej!)

Back in the town again
I made a miss
I bought a ticket
to totally wrong direction!
But now I'm here again
Ready again
When does the train leave
towards rock'n'roll?
Hey Hey Hey-
You got to
wait for me
The t-t-t-train!
Just wait for me
Hey Hey Hey Hey Hey-
You got to wait...
I ended up aslant as hell
I started to feel bad
Around the whole town
one played jazz...
I'm beginning to get allergy
and dysentery
Thank Good God
that I am so strong!
Hey Hey Hey-
You got to
wait for me
T-t-t-the train!
Just wait for me
Hey Hey Hey Hey Hey-
You got to wait...

Tuff Tuff Tuff (like a locomotive) (Tuff Tuff Tuff (like a locomotive))

Some stand still
though the feet go forward
Some feel bad
though they have gold
in each tooth
Others run away
from their own reality
Don't believe in them!
You just loose the game
Cos you have life life life-
a lot of life
and you are free free free-
has a lot of time
and it's bluff bluff bluff
Don't stand still!
Go tuff tuff tuff
like a locomotive
Some need a lot of money
to kill
Some seek cosmic soaps
to clean their souls
Others take coke
to light fire
Too expensive
and way to cowardly
You burn well anyhow!
Cos you have life life life-
a lot of life
and you are free free free-
has a lot of time
and it's bluff bluff bluff
Don't stand still!
Go tuff tuff tuff
like a locomotive
Drive through the night and the time
and everything
start to shout: Here I am
And I'm on my way
Cos you have life life life-
a lot of life
and you are free free free-
has a lot of time
and it's bluff bluff bluff
Don't stand still!
Go tuff tuff tuff
like a locomotive

On Hunt For Life (På Jakt Efter Liv)

The night came
when I fled from everything
Partys and aunt
and matches and malt
The life I lived
was no life at all
To kill time
was the only there was
So I took a car
Mile after mile after mile
On hunt for life
On hunt for life
On hunt for life
I took a car
mile after mile
On hunt for life
Towards red lights
on my way from the city
Lost and hungry
like a newly awakened child
I called a girl
who I knew still was there
who I thought
could kiss away
the thoughts I carried
and I got an answer
from a strange man:
That time is passed
She isn't free
On hunt for life
On hunt for life
On hunt for life
On hunt for life
Step on the gas
and speed up!
It's in a hurry now!
Reveal the secret!
where is there life
on this planet?
You, take me home
to reality
The moon was full/drunk
and staggered it's orbit
I was on my way to escape
my friend Routine
His finger around the throat
My mouth dropped saliva
We fell to the floor
I fought for my life
He held me there
I screamed and drew my knife
On hunt for life
On hunt for life
On hunt for life
I took a car
mile after mile
On hunt for life
On hunt for life
On hunt for life
On hunt for life

When We Two Become One (När Vi Två Blir En)

It seems so easy to just encounter
Yes, it's all people's right to just do so
But it is so hard to say to someone
what one really feel and think about someone
It mostly becomes a lot of talk
about school and pop and cinema of course
I want to feel your body against mine
Hear the pulse beat
Your mouth close to mine
The heart speeds up
I look at you and you look at me
and I say: yes, yes, I want you!
I want to feel your body against mine
When we two become one
One run at discos and try to keep up
Take the bike down to the city
when the bus has stopped going
It is so hard to say to you
what one really feel and think about you
It mostly becomes a lot of words that slips
about mosquito bites that smarts and gyllene tider
I want to feel your body against mine
Hear the pulse beat
Your mouth close to mine
The heart speeds up
I look at you and you look at me
and I say: yes, yes, I want you!
I want to feel your body against mine
When we two become one
When we two become one
When we are together and you want to dance
and I just want to sit and talk
it's easy one tell a fib
A lot of empty talk about nothing at all
I want to feel your body against mine
Hear the pulse beat
Your mouth close to mine
The heart speeds up
I look at you and you look at me
and I say: yes, yes, I want you!
I want to feel your body against mine
When we two become one

The Heart That Burns (Det Hjärta Som Brinner)

It doesn't matter
that I love you - aha ha
I think I will manage
I think I will manage anyway
So it doesn't matter
that you leave me - aha ha
Mmm, should it be
should it be so hard to understand
that the heart that burns
it burns, it burns anyhow
the tears that run
run anyway
It's no idea
that you laugh and smile - aha ha
and lay your hand
and lay a bandage on my wound
I know it is over
so over and out - aha ha
so please will you go
go, just go, just go!
The heart that burns
it flames
and sparkles and beats
The tears that run
make furrows and traces
You, certainly there was a heart
that smiled and whispered:
Here, here is warmth
Come and sit down
but don't burn yourself
beacause here's warmer than you think
The heart that burns
it flames
and sparkles and beats
The tears that run
make furrows and traces

You Play Hard To Reach (Du Spelar Svår Att Nå)

I give you small invitations
but nothing bites on you
Is it curage
it comes down to?
You play hard to reach
You play hard to get
You play hard to reach
You play hard to get
I send compliments
and mint chocolate-boxes
and some
whitehearts
You play hard to reach
You play hard to get
You play hard to reach
You play hard to get
What your mum thinks
are just old fancies
Whatever she says
is totally wrong!
Every time I take the receiver
I come to your dad
He mumbles something about
"UN-AV-AIL-AB-LE!"
You play hard to reach
You play hard to get
You play hard to reach
You play hard to get

Come Close To Me (Kom Intill Mej)

Come close to me
Come lay yourself down
Down there the cars are fighting
Up here it is peace
And we are strong and we are fresh
like the springs first dew
And the linen round your waist
will soon be the best
white flag
Come close to me
Come lay yourself down
Down there people are fighting
about every property
Up here love is dancing
gently with the audience
Two hearts keep in time
so the pulse becomes the music
Maybe it's the spring
maybe it's the night
that still hasn't got
what he wants
Or maybe your lips
maybe the whole body
Come close to me
Tonight we're only
you and me
You and me

(come and we shall) Live Life ( (kom så ska vi) Leva Livet)

Oh my God! What are you doing?
What kind of boring expression's that!
It is party
chips and grill
You're the best
nearly the best
Come on and draw up your curtain!
Don't play dead
like TV:s test pattern
you got to give us
some programme, madame
You are young but I am younger
I've turned 21
come and show me the way ahead!
Live Life
Come and we shall live
Life Life
Come and we shall live
Live Life
Come and we shall live
Life Life
Come and we shall live
Oh my God! It is you!
It is you who is the host of the house
Are you surly?
In every way
O.K.
You are right
It has been broken about
a china shop
but what the hell
the night is young
we can break some hours together
and when they throw
plates and vases around
we can take cover in the same hole - and
Live Life
Come and we shall live
Life Life
Come and we shall live
Live Life
Come and we shall live
Life Life
Come and we shall live
Oh my God! It is misty!
O.K. I have drunk some wine
but I know what I'm saying:
You are fine
Live Life
Come and we shall live
Life Life
Come and we shall live
Live Life
Come and we shall live
Life Life
Come and we shall live

My Girlfriend And I (Min Tjej Och Jag)

My girlfriend and I
have got into a problem
She gets called criminal
I get called bohemian
Cos my girlfriend and I
have an own language
My girlfriend and I

My girlfriend and I

We are two totally normal
in our verbal epoch
My girlfriend and I

My girlfriend and I
have own language
Ba Ba Ba Ba Ba
She says: Na Na Na Na! I answer: Vo Vo Vo!
Our discussions
get complicated sometimes
Ba Ba Ba Ba Ba
She says:
Wah Wah Wah Wah!
I answer: Te Te Te!
To think there are millions
that don't understand each other
- In our country
My girlfriend and I
have got into a trouble
all people talks
shout taunts
like "extreme"
cos my girlfriend and I
have own language
My girlfriend and I

Povel Ramel, Paul McCartney & Me (Povel Ramel, Paul McCartney & Jag)

Pour in, dear Povel, said Paul
You may pay our drinks
Pour in, said Povel
it's your turn
and besides you can afford it
Pour in, said Paul
I sure got money
but you must understand
that I take it pretty cool
It's practice
I can't waste money
without lawyer's advice!
It's that the way it is,
said Povel
then I gladly offer you the drink
Listen! Listen!, said Paul
aren't they playing Lindbom's
latest hit?
You understand, Paul continued
it's only writings
I don't earn more
than the defence's sergeants
and the defences is gong under
so it's probably best
I hold on to mine!
Oh, said Povel,
I thought
you were the richest among us
Oh, said Paul,
but coins
aren't a measure of wealth
Oh, said Povel,
but it must help
No, said Paul
one easily get imbecile
if one thinks
that money helps!
(Sure it does!!!)
Povel, said Paul
You can pay
for me for the food
Paul, said Povel
you probably have 1000 Eurocards
or at least one
Povel, said Paul
mu Eurocard is empty
my Master Charge
American Express
is also empty
My children have bought Ferraris
and Linda buys fur coats all the time!
Stop it, said Povel,
soon you must be able to buy
the whole world
Stop it, said Paul
what am I supposed to do with a world
which soon is gone?
Stop it, said Povel,
You could play chess
with Elton John Cleese
in bowler hat and tails
O.K., said Paul,
and sat down
and wrote out a check

Chrissie, How Are You? (Chrissie, Hur Mår Du?)

Crissie, how are you?
I?
I'm quite alright?
A bit lonely maybe
but one begins to get used to it
I recognise the people
around me
but I don't know someone
more than I know you?
And who knows you?
Chrissie, how is it with the longing
that I anyhow
sweep away every night
I wait for the chance
I'm gonna take it
I'll write a book
like Ulf Lundell
And it's probably good
That I'll have to wait
because I have never waited
not even for myself
Oh Chrissie
Chrissie, how are you?
No
I'm not really alright!
I'm waiting for the sun
because here's dark
night as day
But you should know
that I'm living
yes, I'm living
but I live less
than I did before
Chrissie, do you know any way out?
Chrissie, I think
more often
yes, almost every day
I hope we'll meet
and think over the things that were
And Chrissie is it your turn
or my turn
to pretend that it's masquerade
Have you learned from your mistakes?
Not me...

Love Isn't Blind (but rather short-sighted) ( Kärleken Är Inte Blind (men ganska närsynt)

Love came an afternoon
I wandered along the city's only promenade
Old girlfriends, mistresses
Came as from heaven
a parade of angels
But it was someone else
I saw there
that I've been weak for
for a long time
I fell of my pavement
Love isn't blind
but rather short-sighted
She stumbles and falls
and goes to pieces and gets ugly
but her love is beautiful
Stands against all attacks!
Tear down old barracks!
Build up love's hovel!
June was green
Love's eyes were blue
She sat and stole sun
I stood watching
Old girlfriends, mistresses
Disappeared up to heaven
love's curtain
because it was someone else
I saw there
that I've been weak for
for a long time
Like for Cointreau
Love isn't blind
but rather short-sighted
She stumbles and falls
and behaves pretty clumsy
but her love is smooth
Not a day to early!
Love is eager
warm and wet
Love isn't blind
but rather short-sighted
She stumbles and falls
and behaves pretty clumsy
but her love is smooth
Not a day to early!
Love is eager
warm and wet

When All The Friends Have Gone Home (När Alla Vännerna Gått Hem)

When all the friends have gone home
and the party is over for a long time ago
You lie alone in you bed
When all the friends have gone home
When all the friends have gone home
and the door has been shut
and the darkness scares again
When all the friends have gone home
Then you start to hesitate to take new grips
Alone in the warmth, here I am
Am I strong or weak?
It doesn't matter
When all friends are like candles
When every second feels like a minute
and when you can't find your way out
When all friends are like candles
When all friends are like candles
candles that burn out
when every wick bears a knot
When all friends are like candles
Then you start to hesitate to take new grips
Alone in the warmth, here I am
Am I strong or weak?
It doesn't matter
It doesn't matter

The Sound Of Another Heart (Ljudet Av Ett Annat Hjärta)

I can stay all night
intoxicated and mild
I took the heart
so give me the body
You can get mine whenever you want to
Hey, I want to see you
Hey, I want to hear you
The sound of a heart
needs the sound of another heart
another person as near as you are
The sound of a heart
oh, give me the sound of another heart
Come and come come communicate
come and come a little more
come and come a little more
Just wanted to hold you
And be right close to you
Just wanted to feel the feeling
of excisting
But I am seduced
by someone young and wild
The sound of a heart
needs the sound of another heart
another person as near as you are
The sound of a heart
hey, give me the sound of another heart
Come and come come communicate
come and come a little more
come and come a little more
The sound of another heart
feel the taste of someone else
the light in two other eyes
The warmth from a hand
in hand, in hand, in hand
The sound of a heart
needs the sound of another heart
another person as near as you are
The sound of a heart
oh, give me the sound of another heart
Come and come come communicate
come and come a little more
come and come a little more
Come and come and come and come
and come and come and come a little more
Come and come and come and come
and come and come and come a little more
