Louise Hoffsten

Dazzling colours came from the screen
I looked at the world like through vaseline
in the state of great confusion
I came to the conclusion

Let the best man win it's the chance of your life
Let the game begin start rollin' the dice
and let the best man win it'll give you,
give you all that life can bring
Lets' roll and let the best man win.

A man with a slick face expained the rules:
Gold,cars and tv-sets are all approved
He'll take your life as admission
give new through television.

Let the best man win it's the chance of your life
Let the game begin start rollin' the dice
and let the best man win it'll give you,
give you all that life can bring
Lets' roll and let the best man win

Spend all your money to succeed
winning things you don't need
to bring it back to mother earth
She doesn't care who you are
if your meals are bones or caviar
You've always got a place reserved

Let the best man win it's the chance of your life
Let the game begin start rollin' the dice
and let the best man win it'll give you,
give you all that life can bring

Let the best man win it's the chance of your life
Let the game begin start rollin' the dice
and let the best man win it'll give you,
give you all that life can bring
Let's roll and let the best man win

[L. Hoffsten/L. Larson]
It doesn't matter if you're good or bad
It doesn't it it's driving you mad
I you're a looser if you're a star
numbers will tell us what you are
All the figures figured out
that's all you need
Moneymaking's, all that counts
one thing is sure, it's not the quality
It's all about numbers
a matter of winning
No miracles or wonders
is what life's bringing
It's all about numbers
that'll make the world go round
You don't care if you're telling the truth
It doesn't matter who will stand accused
To be the king on sacred ground
numbers are all that count
Make it more sexual
it will raise the amount
Make yourself more flexible
Cold calculations is what it's about
It's all about numbers
a matter of winning
No miracles or wonders
is what life's bringing
It's all about numbers
that'll make the world go round

The burning cigarette guarded
Your mouth from me kissing you
With your hands in your pockets declaring
That it's all over and through
The coldness in your eyes says
I should have left long ago

When the blue is gone
When the blue is gone
I'll go to places unknown

The one thing I'll always remember
Is your back I wanted to hold
I know every scare, every birthmark
The only language it spoke
All dressed up in an armoured suit
I know I'll never get through

When the blue is gone
When the blue is gone
I'll bury the memories and
Kiss them good bye
And give it another try

(Larson / Hoffsten - Hoffsten)
just like fossil
frozen in time I couldn't move
my heart, my soul, my feet
then you unearthed me
and put me in a hot pulsating groove
now I'm a slave to the beat
Chorus:
you're bringing out the Elvis in me
making my hips wanna swing
you bring out the Elvis in me
making me burst out and sing
when I'm with you
I never have to feel like a sardine
in a little metal can
I'm more like a wild shark
who travels in a pink limosine
together with my fans
Chorus
people think that I'm a silly fool
cause I think you are so nice and cool
and some people say that you're so square
but I don't care
cause you're bringing out the Elvis in me

(Larson / Hoffsten)
I'm tired of it
listening to it
you whine all night long
so sad and boring
keep looking for a
good reason you can blame things on
didn't know you could fall so low
like crying to Barry Manilow
things can't really be as bad ....as you say
Chorus:
old shakespear
he made it clear
the sun does not always shine
still got a shot
to be or not
cause it's not the end of time
a bad karma
or the evil type
is not a good excuse
it's not genetic
it's not athletic
it's all in your attitude
don't you have anything to do
then dig for people who pity you
pull your self together...and move on
Chorus

I've tried to say it politely
I tried to give you a clue
All your gold don't excite me
That old trick just won't do
Still you keep spending money
But there's blood on the pearls
Don't call me babe, don't call me honey
And think you rule my whole world
'Cause I'm never gonna be your lady
I'm not the fool you think I am
I'm never gonna be your lady
And you will never be my man
I bet your wife don't know nothing
About your sordid affairs
You got greed mixed up with loving
And love mixed up with flare
'Cause I'm never gonna be your lady
I'm not the fool you think I am
I'm never gonna be your lady
All your funky business
See you in jail!
You might buy the others
But baby, I am not for sale

(Hoffsten)
no right to complain
everything is just alright
everyday's the same
never get caught by surprise
I get up 'round nine
have some coffee and a toast
and bus number five
is taking me back home

explain it to my heart, my intuition
tells me something fell wide of the mark
my common sense tells me nothing's missing
I get another message from my heart
longing for a UFO to get me
a little green man to take me away
I think I need a little sience fiction to
lighten up my day
I think I need a little sience fiction to
lighten up my day
summers come and go
christmas at my sisters house
it's strange how things flow
no interference without
spending time with you
every day and every night
and we'll watch the sky
to see when's the next flight
explain it to my heart, my intuition
tells me something fell wide of the mark
my common sense tells me nothing's missing
I get another message from my heart
longing for a UFO to get me
a little green man to take me away
I think I need a little sience fiction to
lighten up my day
I think I need a little sience fiction to
lighten up my day
I'm tired of reality
where things are so grey and predictable
like to travel through the galaxy
to find me a lover from Mars
explain it to my heart.....

(Larson / Hoffsten - Hoffsten)
we live in a time of hate and confusion
lost our faith in future illusions
no one can tell us the state of tomorrow
still I know, wherever you go, I'll follow
still I know, wherever you go, I'll follow
you can walk on water and walk through the fire
dressed in a garland of barbed wire
slippery roads of pleasure and sorrow
still I know, wherever you go, I'll follow
still I know, wherever you go, I'll follow
even if you lead me astray
I'd lost my self anyway
angels keep singing up in their heaven
I'm right here behind you now and forever
the man in the moon is looking so hollow
still I know, wherever you go, I'll follow
still I know, wherever you go, I'll follow
still I know, wherever you go, I'll follow

(Larson / Hoffsten)
climbed the ladder knocked on several doors
tried to flatter our gracious lord
now, I am just a fallen angel with soiled wings
living with the dirt that falling brings
Chorus:
give it all up and move on down
gotta give it all up, this holy ground
there will always be a mean little devil in me
was so honest, so divine and nice
always hiding to avoid a fight
I often tried to play the martyr and pay my dues
don't see any wafers at this barbeq
Chorus
even on the groundfloor
things can be so heavenly
Chorus

[L. Hoffsten]
Demanding wishes in your eyes
but you don't own all that money buys
To pay for love is a poor mans comfort
don't buy forbidden fruit
don't buy forbidden fruit
Captured by a grinning wave
Wanting more than you ever gave
To degrade os your own degradation
and blush is the devils suit
don't buy forbidden fruit
Beauty will blind you
desire will damn
You're selling your soul
under evils command
In the garden, there is no shame
as long as true love is the aim
To pay for love is a poor mans comfort
Don't buy forbidden fruit
Don't buy forbidden fruit

This day was made for you
There's not a cloud in sight
No sign or shadow anywhere
Of the coming night

We've got miles to go
Before the sunlight fades
And then we'll find a quiet room
And draw the shades....

There's nowhere in this world
I'd rather be
Than anywhere with you
Beside me
But nowhere in this world
Nowhere I can see
Could our hearts be as safe as
They should be

This road is not so long
That sky is not so high
Tomorrow's come and gone again
In the blink of an eye

There's nowhere in this world
I'd rather be
Than anywhere with you
Beside me
But nowhere in this world
Nowhere I can see
Could our hearts be as safe as
They should be

Then you smile my favorite smile
The one where time stops....
Imagine if our hearts could just
Turn back the clocks

There's nowhere in this world
I'd rather be
Than anywhere with you
Beside me
But nowhere in this world
Nowhere I can see
Could our hearts be as safe as
They should be
