WISH YOU THE BEST FOR XMAS
You
You’re sitting across the table having breakfast
Giving me that look that makes me smile
And I can’t hide it
We
We spend so many hours doing nothing
That’s the way I want it to stay for a while
And all the time
Hey
I’m missing you every day
I wish you were here with me
Keeping me company
Oh I wish you a very very merry merry merry xmas
I’m hoping you think of me
Dancing around the tree
Oh I wish you the best for xmas
I
I play that song you fancy without thinking
It’s silly and it’s simple but it’s true
I miss you
Yea
I’m missing you every day
I wish you were here with me
Keeping me company
Oh I wish you a very very merry merry merry xmas
I’m hoping you think of me
Dancing around the tree
Oh I wish you the best for xmas

Lyrics:
If you could stick around
No need to bother with the other side of town
Set the mood make it bright
I wanna go be your Saturday night
Oh oh oh - it couldn’t get better
Yea yea yea - listen to what I say
Hey hey, my eyes just stop and stare
I got it good you got me walking on air
Every time you’re coming around
I wish you were here to stay
Hey hey, my eyes can’t look away
I got it good you got me walking on air
Every time you’re getting so near
Would you mind stick around
No need to bother with the glass on the ground
Summertime within reach
Oh I’m sure you love to dance on the beach
Oh oh oh - it couldn’t be better
Yea yea yea - listen to what I say
Hey hey, my eyes just stop and stare
I got it good you got me walking on air
Every time you’re coming around
I wish you were here to stay
Hey hey, my eyes can’t look away
I got it good you got me walking on air
Every time you’re getting so near
I’m walking on air

The Loneliest Girl In The World (Lyrics)
I once was the chosen lucky one
Born under the sun and the powers he’s got
I once was a weirdo on a bus
Thinking about us
About me, about you, he-hey
It feels like I’ve been climbing over mountains
Like I’ve been riding jumping diving
Just to find out where you might be hiding
The loneliest girl in the world, uh huh
I recall (call call) shadows being tall
Kissing by the wall oh I felt so secure
I recall wishing we could be
The breeze across the trees
Just for fun being like one
It feels like I’ve been climbing over mountains
Like I’ve been riding jumping diving
Just to find out where you might be hiding
The loneliest girl in the world
It feels like I’ve been flying over treetops
Like I’ve been scanning all my teardrops
Just to find out where you might be full stop
The loneliest girl in the world
It feels like I’ve been climbing over mountains
Like I’ve been driving all the highways
Just to find out where on earth you might stay
The loneliest girl in the world
It feels like I’ve been rushing through the moonlight
Like I’ve been searching every website
Just to find out where you might be tonight
The loneliest girl in the world, oh yea
The loneliest girl in the world aaaaahh
Feels like I’ve been running jumping diving
Just to find out where you might be hiding
Why is there no song playing
For the loneliest girl in the world?

--- Lyrics ---
What's the time?
Seems it's already morning.
I see the sky, it's so beautiful and blue.
The tv's on but the only thing showing
Is a picture of you.
Oh I get up and make myself some coffee.
I try to read a bit but the story's too thin.
I thank the Lord above
You're not here to see me in this shape I'm in.
Spending my time,
Watching the days go by.
Feeling so small,
I stare at the wall,
Hoping that you think of me too.
I'm spending my time.
I try to call but I don't know what to tell you.
I leave a kiss on your answering machine.
Oh help me please,
Is there someone who can make me
Wake up from this dream?
Spending my time,
Watching the days go by.
Feeling so small,
I stare at the wall,
Hoping that you are missing me too.
I'm spending my time,
Watching the sun go down.
I fall asleep to the sound
Of "Tears of a clown",
A prayer gone blind.
I'm spending my time
My friends keep telling me:
Hey, life will go on,
Time will make sure I'll get over you.
This silly game of love -
You play, you win only to lose.
I'm spending my time,
Watching the days go by.
Feeling so small,
I stare at the wall,
Hoping that you think of me too.
I'm spending my time.
I'm spending my time,
Watching the sun go down.
I fall asleep to the sound
Of "Tears of a clown",
A prayer gone blind.
I'm spending my time.
#Roxette #SpendingMyTime #30thAnniversary
30 YEARS OF ”JOYRIDE”
The Whole Story, Demos and Unreleased Recordings.
Released on 26th November, 2021
This year, Swedish group Roxette celebrates the 30th Anniversary of their third album “Joyride”, following the band’s spectacular global breakthrough with “Look Sharp!” in 1989.
Three US #1 singles - “The Look”, “Listen To Your Heart” and “It Must Have Been Love” - and other big hits like “Dressed For Success” and “Dangerous” had rapidly made the Roxette duo Marie Fredriksson and Per Gessle a world-wide hit phenomenon.
”Joyride” was the album that was supposed to cement Roxette’s new-found status as a global hit-makers. Which indeed it did. On May 1, the title track zoomed all the way up to #1 position on the Billboard Hot 100 chart – setting a record no Scandinavian group or artist has yet been able to break, helping to make “Joyride” a 11+ million seller.
This autumn the 30th Anniversary of ”Joyride” will be celebrated with the release of a 4-album vinyl and a 3-CD box, containing the original release as well as previously unreleased or hard-to-get material, that paints a fuller picture of a unique time in pop history. A richly illustrated 32 page booklet tells the story.
Twelve of the songs are previously unreleased, among them the first recording of ”Hotblooded”, which originally was meant to be the album’s opening track until ”Joyride” knocked it down a notch, giving the album and the upcoming “Join the Joyride” World Tour its name.
The “Joyride” box set also offers a chance to hear two previously unreleased demos of songs originally released by Per’s former group Gyllene Tider, who in 1984 tried to break the international market with the album “Heartland Café”.
- In the autumn of 1989 I was going through all kinds of possible material for the new Roxette album. ”Run Run Run” and ”Another Place, Another Time” from the ”Heartland Café” album felt like quite strong contenders, so we did new and more ”Roxified” demo versions of them. ”Run Run Run” was a favourite of mine – I thought it had potential to go a long way, Per Gessle remembers.
The two songs never made it to a studio recording, however.
- Even though we were travelling the world constantly doing promotion for “Look Sharp!” as well as “It Must Have Been Love”, I managed to find time to write lots of new songs. Most of them were customized for Marie to sing, and in the end we preferred those, Per says.
Other unearthed demoes from 1990 are ”Small Talk”, ”Church Of Your Heart”, ”Physical Fascination”, ”Things Will Never Be The Same”, ”I Remember You” and not least the future single B-side ”The Sweet Hello, The Sad Goodbye” – one of the strongest songs that never made it to the album. It would however become a much loved track by Roxette fans – the “Roxers” – and recorded by many artists, among them American singer Laura Branigan.
”Sweet Thing” is another one of the many songs written and demoed for the new album, giving the listener a more complete insight in the making of this classic pop album.
Apart from the LP box with four vinyl albums, the original album is also released, this time with a gatefold cover, and pressed in marbled or black vinyl. A splendid time is guaranteed for all.
A single teaser from the ”Joyride” 30th Anniversary box ”Small Talk” and ”Hotblooded” in previously unreleased versions was released on October 8th.
Release dates:
• October 8th Single: Small Talk (30th Anniversary Edition)
• November 26th Joyride 30th Anniversary Edition
(4LP Box/3CD Package. Original album in marbled and black vinyl.)

--- LYRICS ---
So close, no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
And nothing else matters
Never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words, I don't just say
And nothing else matters
Trust I seek and I find in you
Every day for us something new
Open mind for a different view
And nothing else matters
Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
But I know
So close, no matter how far
It couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
And nothing else matters
Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
But I know
I never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words, I don't just say
And nothing else matters
Trust I seek and I find in you
Every day for us something new
Open mind for a different view
And nothing else matters
Never cared for what they say
Never cared for games they play
Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
And I know, yeah, yeah
So close, no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
No, nothing else matters

Directed by Doug Freel
Produced by Andy Picheta
Restored and edited from original 35 mm tapes by Thomas Ahlén, Filmtech. 2021
Thirty years ago, the Swedish pop sensation Roxette got their fourth US #1 single with ”Joyride” – the title track to their third album. With MTV being an ever increasing power in the early 90’s pop business, a spectacular – and costly – music video was a necessary element in the bag of tricks that could send a single all the way to the top.
And ”Joyride” truly was no exception. It became a strikingly playful video, with Marie and Per sometimes sitting on a Ferrari while a hidden driver operated the accelerator and break-pedals.
A joyride in 4K
But thirty years of heavy rotation had made its mark on the original video (which probably had been copied and then copied again, before disappearing out of sight), so a restoration was definitely due. As a part of the 30th Anniversary celebrations, the “Joyride” video has resurrected in a new and improved version with sparkling colours and amazing clarity in 4K resolution.

LYRICS
I hit the road out of nowhere, i had to jump in my car and be a rider in a love game following the stars, don't need no book of wisdom, i get no money talk at all. she has a train going downtown, she's got a club on the moon and she's telling all her secrets in a wonderful balloon.
Oh she's the heart of the funfair, she's got me whistling her private tune. and it all begins where it ends, and she's all mine, my magic friend. she says, hello, you fool, I love you, c'mon join the joyride, join the joyride. she's a flower, i can paint her, she's a child of the sun, we're a part of this together, could never turn around and run. don't need no fortune teller to know where my lucky love belongs, oh no. cos it all begins again when it ends, and we´re all magic friends. she says: hello, you fool, I love you, c'mon join the joyride, join the joyride.
Hello, you fool, I love you, c'mon join the joyride, be a joyrider. i take you on a skyride, a feeling like you´re spellbound. the sunshine is a lady who rox you like a baby.
#Roxette #Joyride #30thAnniversary
Thirty years ago, the Swedish pop sensation Roxette got their fourth US #1 single with ”Joyride” – the title track to their third album. With MTV being an ever increasing power in the early 90’s pop business, a spectacular – and costly – music video was a necessary element in the bag of tricks that could send a single all the way to the top.
And ”Joyride” truly was no exception. It became a strikingly playful video, with Marie and Per sometimes sitting on a Ferrari while a hidden driver operated the accelerator and break-pedals.
A joyride in 4K
But thirty years of heavy rotation had made its mark on the original video (which probably had been copied and then copied again, before disappearing out of sight), so a restoration was definitely due. As a part of the 30th Anniversary celebrations, the “Joyride” video has resurrected in a new and improved version with sparkling colours and amazing clarity in 4K resolution.
