All you folks back home
I'll never tell you this
You're not supposed to know
Where your daughter is
There are ways of life
You never understood
It's right here
Downtown Hollywood
It's afternoon on Sunset Boulevard
I've got a stolen moment trying hard
To write a kind of Christmas card

But I am burning out again
Tonight there is fever in my veins

Mama, dear
All the love you gave
I guess there's really nothing
Nothing much to save
This place is as steady as I feel myself
There are still some riches
At the Roosevelt
That evening prayer
Those memories
In my little bedroom, mama, on my knees
That's where I am at
Down in Los Angeles

And I am burning out again
And I must rise above the shame
Tonight there is fever in my veins

Just think of the girl I used to be
You were my age once, mama
twenty-three
I can still hear some of the songs you used to play
From that summer of love in '68
Seems it's turned into a winter of hate

And I am burning out again.
MAYBE HE'LL KNOW

Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh

Maybe he'll know well
I'm not so sure
Maybe he'll know well
Maybe he'll be my cure

Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh

Maybe he'll know well
I'm not so sure
Maybe he'll know why
Maybe, maybe he'll be, oh oh

Something calls to me,
I know
I hear an echo start to pound
Like a drum
Chanting a song, anchor me
But don't take too long, no no
I got this anxious feeling
I got this ache engraved
In me like stone
Don't take too long
Say you'll never leave me
Say you'll never go
No no no no

Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
Maybe he'll know well
I'm not so sure
Maybe he'll know why
Maybe he'll be
oh, oh

Something calls to me,
I know
I hear an echo start to pound
Like a drum
Chanting a song, anchor me
But don't take too long, no no
I got this anxious feeling
I got this ache engraved
In me like stone
Don't take too long
Say you'll never leave me
Say you'll never go

Don't take too long
I got this anxious feeling
I got this ache engraved
In me like stone
Don't take too long
Say you'll never leave me
Say you'll never go

oh, oh...

It's time to breathe

Good morning Mr Lovebones, how you doing today?
Well I’m just like Patsy, I got my sparkle back again
I’ve been talking less, thinking more, feel like I should hold you inside
No more watching from the sidelines, I ain’t along for the ride, no sir
Well the wind might change while I'm talking to you
I feel a little faint getting too much truth
And nothing that I need to do
Take it nice and slow

Nice and slow
Nice and slow
Nice and slow (take it take it)
‘Nice and slow

Morning Mr Darkness, stop all this running away
Will you be walking in a straight line, now you know crime doesn’t pay
Your luck has changed, I got sweeter for you
I used to be a dreamer with my heart full of moon
Be careful not to speak too soon
Take it nice and slow

Nice and slow (take it take it)
Nice and slow
Nice and slow (take it take it)
Nice and slow

Nice and slow

And l walk down the street with a smile on my face and my heart on my sleeve
Nice and slow
And if you really love me then show it don’t say it
It’s the only way to go
Nice and slow
See I learnt the hard way love is mundane
Love is just nice & slow.
IT MUST HAVE BEEN LOVE

YEAR: 1992

Tourism: Songs from Studios, Stages, Hotelrooms & Other Strange Places is the fourth studio album by Swedish pop duo Roxette, released on 28 August 1992 by EMI. Despite often being mistaken for a live album, the record was described by Roxette in its liner notes as a "tour album": the band recorded the majority of its material in numerous recording studios in-between live dates of their worldwide "Join the Joyride! Tour". The album contains three live concert recordings, while another track was recorded live in an empty nightclub in São Paulo. A further two tracks were recorded in Buenos Aires' Alvear Palace Hotel.
The album received mixed reviews from American publications upon release, with several of them confused over its concept, and incorrectly describing it as containing just five previously unreleased songs. It also under-performed on the Billboard 200, peaking at number 117 on the chart and selling approximately 275,000 copies—far short of the million-selling Joyride. Nevertheless, the album was a commercial success in Europe, and was certified platinum in numerous territories. As of 2001, Tourism has sold over 6 million copies worldwide.
It must have been love but it's over now

Lay a whisper on my pillow
Leave the winter on the ground
I wake up lonely, there's air of silence
In the bedroom and all around (and all around)

Touch me now, I close my eyes
And dream away

It must have been love but it's over now
It must have been good but I lost it somehow
It must have been love but it's over now
From the moment we touched 'til the time had run out

Make-believing we're together
That I'm sheltered by your heart

inRead invented by Teads
But in and outside I've turned to water
Like a teardrop in your palm

And it's a hard winter's day
I dream away

It must have been love but it's over now
(It must have been love but it's over now)
It was all that I wanted, now I'm living without
It must have been love but it's over now
(It must have been love, the winds blows)
It's where the water flows
It's where the wind blows

It must have been love but it's over now
(It must have been love but it's over now)
It must have been good but I lost it somehow
It must have been love but it's over now
(It must have been love but it's over now)
From the moment we touched 'til the time had run out

Yeah! it must have been love but it's over now
(It must have been love but it's over now)
It was all that I wanted, now I'm living without
It must have been love but it's over now
(The winds blows)
It's where the water flows
It's where the wind blows

Ohh!

(It must have been love but it's over now)
But it's over now
Now!
(It must have been love but it's over now)
(It must have been love but it's over now)
Now!
