01 WOMEN OF SANTIAGO 

(Lars Danielsson / Caecilie Norby) 

LYRICS 

Theres a place I know 

Where senora zargas girls go 

Where they wait for the red moon to rise tie their 

Dancing shoes and set their passion free 

There is blood in the air 

´Round that little old gipsy dance square smell of Gunpowder, sweat and good wine soon 

colored cards Decide each destiny 

Women of santiago 

Feel the sothern wind blow 

Its time to tango-time to crush a heart 


Always dance with heads up high 

Tthough the sweet and sour til they die 

As the rythmns rise 

Jealousy allures like cat eyes 

Every step -a knife in the wound 

A choreography of language from the heart 


Feel the southern wind blow 




Though blessed and cursed-til they die 

Theres a place they say 

Were senora zargas girls stay 

Til the sunrise revils every sin 

And laughter let a new day begin 

Theres a place i know 

Where senora zargas girls go 

Where they wait for the red moon to rise tie their 

Dancing shoes and set their passion free 

There is blood in the air 

´Round that little old gipsy dance square smell of Gunpowder,sweat and good wine soon 

colored cards Decide each destiny


Feel the sothern wind blow 

Iits time to tango-time to crush a heart 



Though the sweet and sour til they die 

As the rythmns rise 

Jjealousy allures like cat eyes 

Every step -a knife in the wound 

A choreography of language from the heart 


Feel the southern wind blow 




Though blessed and cursed-til they die 

Theres a place they say 

Were senora zargas girls stay 

Til the sunrise revils every sin 

And laughter let a new day begin 

02 HAVE A GOOD TIME 

(Paul Simon) 

Yesterday it was my birthday 

I hung one more year on the line 

I should be depressed 

My life’s a mess 

But I’m having a good time 

Oo, I’ve been loving and loving and loving 

I’m exhausted from loving so wel 

I should go to bed 

But a voice in my head 

Says "ah, what the hell" 

Have a good time 




Paranoia strikes deep in the heartland 

But I think it’s al overdone 

Exaggerating this and exaggerating that 

They don’t have no fun

I don’t believe what I read in the papers 

They’re just out to capture my dime 

I ain’t worying 

And I ain’t scurying; 

I’m having a good time 





Maybe I’m laughing my way to disaster 

Maybe my race has been run 

Maybe I’m blind to the fate of mankind 

But what can be done? 

So God bless the goods we was given 

And God bless the u. s. of a. 

And God bless our standard of livin’ 

Let’s keep it that way 

And we’l al have a good time 




03 SOUTH 

(Jacob Karlzon / Per Holknekt) 

I open up my windows to the storm 

I´ve written letters on my walls, 

Set the house on fire, 

I´m on my way to heaven 

I´m done but I´m up for more. 

I´ve memorized the moments I adored, 

killed the sadness I had stored 

I am thru, still this, 

Is only the beginning 

I´m on my way to heaven. 

There is this place I´m meant to be 

I know, an angel whispered this to me, 

So I follow, to where my sun will meet the sea 

And so, I leave it all behind and go 

down south.

I open up my windows to the storm 

I´ve written letters on my walls, 

Set the house on fire, 

I´m on my way to heaven 

I´ve seen the open door 

There is this place I ´d rather be 


So I follow, to where my sun will meet the sea 

And so, I leave it all behind and go 

Down south… 

…Where the horizon opens up, just for me 

Showing the free way out as my escape 

Leaving the corners all behind. 

I am free. 

Lord I am free. 

I am in heaven 

This is the place I want to be 


So I followed, to where my sun did meet the sea 

And I, I left it all behind, 

And now I´m in heaven. 

I´m in heaven 

There is no place I´d rather be, 

I know –an angel whispered it to me. 

[I´m home] 

04 TE AMO CORAZÓN 

(Prince) 

At 42,000 feet above the sea 

That's where you and I first came to be 

From the dust of the earth and the knowledge tree 

Te amo corazon 

At last I can tell you what I've known so long 

My heart's been crying out to sing this song 

I don't care who knows it 

'Cause there's nothing wrong 


I'm so scared of losing you 

I really don't know what I'd do 

Can't bear the thought of another day apart 

My heart, my heart, corazon

Once when I first laid eyes on you 

I saw heaven and earth anew 

Everyone else saw my brown eyes no longer blue 


At first I couldn't find the words to say 

How much you changed me in every way 

I just wanna thank you 

Each and every day 

Te amo corazon Te Amo Corazón 

05 TWO SAILS 


Windblown wives of seamen 

Always waiting always gazing 

Like statues of sand-pale hearts 

Of rock quiet in their longing til 

Hope dwarfs their true fear and 

Two sails reappear 

Breathless wives of saemen 

Always scouting silently shouting 

Horizon has gone and sun has set 

Deaf is the wild sea 

Til hope fades their firm fright and 

Two sails come in sight 

06 KISS THAT FROG 

(Peter Gabriel) 

[aah, yeah] 

Jump in the water 

Sweet little princess 

Let me introduce his frogness 

You alone can get him singing 

He’s al pufed up, wanna be your king 

Oh you can do it 

C’mon [x6] 

Lady kiss that frog

Splash, dash heard your call 

Bring you back your golden ball 

He’s gonna divedown in the deep end 

He’s gonna be just like your best friend 

So what’s one litle kiss 

One tiny little touch 

Aaah, he’s wanting it so much 

I swear that this is royal blood 

Running through my skin 

Oh can you see the state I’m in 

Kiss it better, kiss it better 

[kiss that frog] 

Get it into your royal head 

He’s living with you, he sleeps in your bed 

Can’t you hear beyond the croaking 

Don’t you know that I’m not joking 

07 ABSENTEE 

(Jakob Karlzon / Per Holknekt) 

City lights casting shadows in the dark 

Not a sound but the rhythm of my heart 

I am tired but I have to see, pictures of everything in me 

Getting high from the nothingness I see, 

Absentee 

And the wind chasing brush around the park, 

Good ´n evil drinking liquor in the dark. 



Absentee 

Morning is near, the world comes back to life 

I am cold and it´s cozy and warm inside 

Maybe it´s better where sun lites up the skies 

Just as long as I´ll have my escape into the night 

I´m alright 

City lights casting shadows in the dark 

Not a sound but the rhythm of my heart 



Absentee 


Absentee 

(Absentee) 

(Absentee)

08 STROLLIN 

(Prince) 

Close the shop, let's take a drive 

Take a break from 9 to 5 

It's so great to be alive, oh yeah 

We could rent some roller skates 

We could skate around the lake 

If we don't know how, we'll fake it, oh yeah 

Strollin', strollin' we could have fun just strollin' 

Rockin', rollin', oh yeah 

Let's forget about the time (time) 

Let's relax and ease our mind (mind) 

We deserve to just feel fine, oh yeah 

We could stroll the mezzanine (stroll) 

Buy some dirty magazine 

Laugh behind it while we're eatin' ice cream (ha ha ha ha) 

Strollin', strollin' we could have fun just strollin' 

Rockin', rollin' oh yeah 

See the man with the blue guitar 

Maybe one day he'll be a star 

Give him your ice cream and 

I'll give him the keys to my car 

There's so much hate goin' round 

Hard to not let it get you down 

Least we can do is make a joyful sound, oh yeah 

Strollin', strollin', we could have fun just strollin' 

Rockin', rollin', oh yeah 

Strollin', strollin' 

Rockin', rollin' (we could have fun, we could have fun) 

oh yeah (just strollin') 

Close the shop, let's take a ride (strollin', strollin') 

Take a break from 9 to 5 (we could have fun just strollin') 

It's so great, so great to be alive (Rockin', rollin', oh yeah) 

Oh yeah, strollin', strollin' (Strollin', strollin') 

(we could have fun just strollin') 

Rockin', Rollin' (Rockin', rollin', oh yeah) 



(Rockin', rollin', oh yeah) 



oh yeah

09 DON'T MAKE ME WAIT 

(Seal) 

Are we tired of feeling blue 

Can I get along with you 

Just don't tell me try 

Every time we fuss and fight 

What I really try to say 

Is I won't be afraid, yah 

If you say you're willing too 

Close your eyes and maybe - maybe see it through 

Don't make me wait long 

Sounds like a sad song of mine 

Every time we meet baby on the street there we go 

Always seem to fight why we do I never now that 

All I can take 

'Cause you ain't easy 

Some can relate 

That's life, get back together, every time 

It amazes me to say, yah 

I've been so tired to find my way, close to you 

To love divine is what I - what I'm gonna do 

Yah, What I'm really trying to say 

Is love won't deny me, cause everyday is like a newly day 

Lovin' till the end yah yah yah yah:. 


Sounds like a sad song of mine 


Always seem to fight why we do I never now that 



Some can relate 

So I dream of 

And dream of 

And dream of 

And dream of your life 

And dream of 

And that's how we make love 

And we dream of 

And dream of 

And dream of 

And dream through the night




Always seem to fight why we do, I never now that 



Some can relate, hey 

That's life, get back together, every time 

10 CAN'T HELP IT 

(Stevie Wonder / Susaye Greene) 

Looking in my mirror 

Took me by surprise 

I can't help but see you 

Running often through my mind 

Helpless like a baby 

Sensual disguise 

I can't help but love you 

It's getting better all the time 

I can't help it if I wanted to 

I wouldn't help it even if I could 


I wouldn't help it, no 





Love to run my fingers 

Softly while you sigh 

Love came and possessed you 

Bringing sparkles to your eyes 

Like a trip to heaven 

Heaven is the prize 

And I'm so glad I found you girl 

You're an angel in disguise 




I wouldn't help it, no

And I'm so glad I found you girl 

You're an angel in disguise 





11 GREEN LITTLE BUTTERFLY 


Who`s celebrating sunlight 

After rain clouds have fled from the sky? 

Who´s first to risk its frail wings 

The green little butterfly 

Rich in colors 

Pellucid as pain 

Fun to follow 

But captured in vain 

Who´s last to fear the frost nights? 


Light as feather 

A grand piece of art 

Nature´s chaos 

Takes shape in your heat 

Whos flight reflects the future? 


12 THE WAY YOUNG LOVERS DO 

(Van Morrison) 

We strolled through fields all wet with rain 

And back along the lane again 

There in the sunshine 

In the sweet summertime 

The way that young lovers do 

I kissed you on the lips once more 

And we said goodbye just adoring the night time 

Yeah, that’s the right time 

To feel the way that young lovers do

Then we sat on our own star and dreamed of the way That we were 

And the way that we were meant to be 

Then we sat on our own star and dreamed of the way That I was for you 

And you were for me 

And then we danced the night away 

And turned to each other, say, i love you, I love you 

The way that young lovers do 

Do, do, do, do... 

Then we sat on our star and dreamed of the way that we were and the way 

That we wanted to be 

Then we sat on our own star and dreamed of the way that I was for you 

And you were for me 

I went on to dance the night away 

And turned to each other, say, i love you, baby, I love you 

The way that young lovers do, lovers do, lovers do 

13 OLD AND WISE 

(Eric Woolfson & Alan Parsons) 

As far as my eyes can see 

There are shadows approaching me 

And to those I left behind 

I wanted you to know 

You've always shared my deepest thoughts 

You follow where I go 

And oh when I'm old and wise 

BItter words mean little to me 

Autumn winds will blow right through me 

And someday in the mist of time 

When they asked me if I knew you 

I'd smile and say you were a friend of mine 

And the sadness would be lifted from my eyes 

Oh when I'm old and wise 

As far as my eyes can see 

There are shadows surrounding me 

And to those I leave behind 

I want you all to know 

You've always shared my darkest hours 

I'll miss you when I go 

And oh, when I'm old and wise 

Heavy words that tossed and blew me 

Like autumn winds will blow right through me 

And someday in the mist of time 

When they ask you if you knew me 

Remember that you were a friend of mine 

As the final curtain falls before my eyes 

Oh when I'm old and wise 

As far as my eyes can see
