OPEN YOUR WINDOW

(ÖPPNA DITT FÖNSTER)

music

Just as you woke up
Silence was there
Tumbling dreams get
up in the air
And through a window
Shimmering light
Gently it whispers:
- The day is alive

Open your window
Just for a while
And let dawn come
to your mind
Open your window
Open your door
Nothing will remain
as before

Friends are all eager
Giving advice
Some of them certain
You'd give it a try
Who will you follow?
What's your believe?
Ease down your senses
Until you find peace

Open your window
Just for a while
And let trust come
to your mind
Open your window
Open your door
Nothing will remain
as before

A-a-a-a-ah ...

How will you know when
true love is found?
How will you now if
cheat is to come?
Strong is the dream when
morning arrives
When no one else can
rule your life

Open your window
Just for a while
And let love come
to your mind
Open your window
Open your door
Nothing will remain
as before

A-a-a-a-ah ...

 

JUST ORDINARY PEOPLE (SARAJEVO)

(Bara vanliga människor)

music 

Fingers to face
Keeping hair in place
Looking away
for a corner shade
Crowded bodies
Shivering from inside
A childish fury
And scorn is
silence's child

Shu-hu, shu-hu
Just ordinary people
Shu-hu, shu-hu
See how they fall

Sunday, day after
February sun
Counting dead bodies
Tw'as on the market found
Look, she is crying
Blond, peroxide hair
Biting her nails now
In shoes stained
with clay

Shu-hu, shu-hu
Just ordinary people
Shu-hu, shu-hu
See how they fall

See how they're bearing
her little brother now
An armoured car's there
to take him far beyond
Now, who could have fired
maybe anyone?
Was it a neighbour
Who'd just had enough?

Schu-hu, schu-hu ... Schu-hu, schu-hu Sarajevo Schu-hu, schu-hu Saraje ... Schu-hu!

 

Say it now

(Säg det nu)

music

Are you gonna '
say it now
Are you gonna
tell me or lie
Are you gonna say it
well say it
just say it now

Are you gonna ' ...

I've walked around
for days, just
waiting to hear from you
I ´m eager to listen
to what you have to say
Are you a coward, have you
lost all your dignity?
A look into your eyes
will tell what´s there

Well, this is what I hear
around me:
Any man´s good for
"Grab and keep"
I really thought you
were somewhat different
That you were pleased
with what I had to give

Are you gonna ' ...

You know you are
the only man I desire
And I don't feel like
I wanna´ share you around
What´s on your mind, baby
Tell me I´m waiting
I´m feeling lousy,
don't fancy hanging around

You say I´m much too
much of a talker
That I´ve imagined
what's never been there
But you're the only one
I've chosen
And I wanna know
wether I won or I failed

Are you gonna '
say it now
Are you gonna
tell me or lie
Are you gonna say it
well say it
just say it now

Are you gonna ' ...

Don't be afraid of telling me, you know I only love you

I know I can be
a heavy talker
But I´m really proud of
what my fantasy gives
But I w'ont stay if you
decieve me
If you will try to
manipulate me
Baby, say if I did
hurt you
You know I´m a lady,
Demanding as few
Well, if you need more space beside me
Why don't you tell me
I´ll give you what's mine

Are you gonna '
say it now
Are you gonna
tell me or lie
Are you gonna say it
well say it
just say it now

Are you gonna ' ...

Come here, don't be afraid of saying it. You know I'm only loving you.
Come here, don't be afraid of me You know I only love just you
Come close to me
Come talk to me Come say it now You know I´m only loving you. Come close to me ...

 

AMSTERDAM OOST

music  Night roof that lay
Amsterdam Oost
Chimneys and frames
There was heaven and I
in Amsterdam Oost
Together at nights
Breaking on the dawn
The panes are vibrating
Banging on poles
Head is here aching
Concrete and stone
City is growing
Digging it's hole
Girder to fall in

I found a light in
Amsterdam East
Doesn't matter who
gave it to me
Just as long as I
could get away
from my darkest
surroundings		 Night roof that lay
Amsterdam Oost
Me, just this babe
And I fell like a slide
to Amsterdam Oost
When chaos arrived
Packed all my dreams
into a little suitcase
But I'll return
Better than ever
Every good friend
will carry me higher
up on their arms
High up in sky

I found a light in
Amsterdam East
Doesn't matter who
gave it to me
Just as long as I
could get away
from my darkest
surroundings

Nightroof that lay
Amsterdam Oost
Hear what I say
I´ve been thinking today
of Amsterdam Oost
of lies that I gave
Every lie I said
to be desired
Bruces on my head
The battle of power
Looked for a person
willing to help me
Offering me
Courage to take ...

I found a light ...

I found a light ...
to the top
