For Love 
(written by Leckenby/Hopwood/Linsburg) 
(transcribed by Per Weber)

Deep down inside of night 
There´s a basic feeling of appetite for love 
The shadows fall, the moon comes out 
And night owls crawl the streets no doubt, for love 
(x2): 
Don´t be fooled by her love 
You can never win 
You can buy her everything 
And she will blow it in 
Influential people went 
Their Swedish cars are just in trend for love 
A girl walks by across the street 
The headlights flash and then they meet for love 
Yeah, they meet for love 
They meet for love 
Yes, for love

You Won´t Be Leaving
(written by Hazzard)
(transcribed by Per Weber)

The hour is very late, 
And I can see you´re getting worried
The coffee´s finished, candles´ low
And soon you´ll be asleep

Long walk on the night is chilly
And my room is cosy
I´ve got a feeling, 
You won´t be leaving tonight.

Never thought to ask you
Why you really came to see me
Was it just a picture bin
No neatly on the wall.

Candle lights place shadows 
Of your figure on the ceiling
I´ve got a feeling
You won´t be leaving at all.

I don´t try to fight it baby
I see the lovelight in your eyes
Just hold me tight then baby
You treat and I´m not telling lies.

Never thought to ask you
Why you really came to see me
Was it just a picture bin
No neatly on the wall.

Candle lights place shadows 
Of your figure on the ceiling
I´ve got a feeling
You won´t be leaving at all.
I´ve got a feeling
You won´t be leaving at all.
I´ve got a feeling
You won´t be leaving at all. 
I´ve got a feeling
You won´t be leaving tonight.

Show Me Girl
(written by Goffin / King)
(transcribed by Per Weber)

A oneway look can hang you up   (??????) 
That´s the only kind of love I had
So I just can´t take your word
That things are gonna work out fine
You got to show me girl,
Show me that you´re really mine.

If you´re any better 
Than the other girls I´ve known
You never blew wit to me by words alone
So right from the very start
I played it on the line
You got to show me girl,
Show me that you´re really mine.

You got to show me you understand
When things don´t go the way we planned
You got to show me you´ll be true
Tell me I´ll be able to count on you

I´d love to love you
You know I think you´re out of sight
But first I got to be sure, 
You´re gonna treat me right.

So if you really care
And you´re not just wasting my time
Come on and show me girl,
Show me that you´re really mine

So if you really care
And you´re not just wasting my time
Come on and show me girl,
Show me that you´re really mine
You got to show me girl
Show me that you´re really mine
Come on and show me girl,
Show me that you´re really mine.

Sleepy Joe
(written by Carter / Alquist)
(transcribe by Per Weber)

Sleepy Joe
Sleepy Joe

Rise and shine, sleepy Joe
Now´s the time, don´t you know
To get into a new kind of dream
You´ve been living alone
With no Bell telephone
And you don´t have a shirt that is clean
You can rest your head
On the corner of your bed
You can watch the world go by
But you never gonna see 
What the other people see
If you´re always gonna be a sleepy joe.

Rise and shine, sleepy Joe
There are places to go
There are windows to clean on the way
You´ve got nothing to loose,
But the shine on your shoes
Do the best things you can every day.
You can get upset, at the way the people get
You can turn your back on the crowd
But you never gonna see
What is absolutely real
If you´re always gonna be a sleepy Joe.

Sleepy Joe
Sleepy Joe
Sleepy Joe
Sleepy Joe

Rise and shine, sleepy Joe
Now´s the time, don´t you know
To get into a new kind of dream
You´ve been living alone
With no Bell telephone
And you don´t have a shirt that is clean

Sleepy Joe
Sleepy Joe
Sleepy Joe
Sleepy Joe

Rise and shine, sleepy Joe
There are places to go
There are windows to clean on the way
You´ve got nothing to loose,
But the shine on your shoes
Do the best things you can every day.

Sleepy Joe

Something Is Happening
(written by Turco/Bigazza/Fishman)
(transcribed by Per Weber)

Something is happening,
And it started happening,
When you walked by.
Something is happening,
And it´s changing everything
Do you know why?
As soon as you started to kiss me
Something new suddenly hit me
Love walked over, it´s always happening
The same sort of things to others too.
Something is happening to me
And I only hope the same thing is happening to you

Something is happening
Exiting the world you´re in
You must know why.
Something is happening
I can´t think of anything
But you and I.
What begins, these happy notions
You do think, to my emotions
I can tell what ever is happening
There´s nothing about it I can do.
Something is happening to me
And I only hope the same thing is happening to you

As soon as you started to kiss me
Something new suddenly hit me
Love walked over, it´s always happening
The same sort of things to others too.
Something is happening to me
And I only hope the same thing is happening to you

What begins, these happy notions
You do think, to my emotions
I can tell what ever is happening
There´s nothing about it I can do.
Something is happening to me
And I only hope the same thing is happening to you

My Sentimental Friend
(written by G. Stephens / J.Carter)
(transcribed by Per Weber)

On the floor, the people dancing round
Moving close together
But  there over low in the corner
There´s the girl I once knew
Who broke me in two.
So won´t you please play a song
A sentimental song
For my sentimental friend over there.

We´ve been so long apart
Make it go right to the heart
Of my sentimental friend over there.
Bring the tears to her eyes
Help to make her realize
The love we had was just beyond compare.
And if the time is right
Maybe I´ll held her tight
My sentimental friend over there.

I recall the way she used to feel
When we heard a sad song
The teardrops would fall
And she´d hold me
And tell me, 
She´d be for ever with me.
So won´t you please play a song
A sentimental song
For my sentimental friend over there.

We´ve been so long apart
Make it go right to the heart
Of my sentimental friend over there.
Bring the tears to her eyes
Help to make her realize
The love we had was just beyond compare.
And if the time is right
Maybe I´ll held her tight
My sentimental friend over there.

Oh won´t you please play a song
A sentimental song
For my sentimental friend over there.

We´ve been so long apart
Make it go right to the heart
Of my sentimental friend over there.
Bring the tears to her eyes
Help to make her realize
The love we had was just beyond compare.
And if the time is right
Maybe I´ll held her tight
My sentimental friend over there.

So won´t you please play a song
A sentimental song
For my sentimental friend over there...

Here Comes The Star
(written by Young)
(transcribed by Per Weber)

Look at me now
I´m the loneliest guy in the world
People say he´s a star,
And he´s sure to go far
Ain´t he pretty?

Look at me now
Do they know for the love of that girl?
I would give all I have,
For a moment of love, saying:
Here comes a star,
He´s the idol of all the world
Here comes the star,
What he´d give is that girl would come
And share his loneliness.

There was a time 
We would  wander down Love`s Avenue
Sharing moments together
That should last forever
Then came the time
Saw my neighbour blue ice
And you knew
There´ll be no time together
Now you´re gone, still they say:
Here comes the star
He´s the idol of all the world
Here comes the star,
What he´d give is that girl would come
And share his loneliness.

Now the stage is back
But you´re not there
I give it all the way
Just to hear you say
I love you
He comes the star
He´s the idol of all the world
Here comes the star,
What he´d give if that girl would come
Here comes the star
He´s the idol of all the world
Here comes the star,
What he´d give if that girl would come
Here comes the star
He´s the idol of all the world..

Years May come, Years May Go
(written by Popp/Fishman)
(transcribed by Per Weber)

Let´s take a look behind
And see what we can find
Last year has gone for everyone
Past with time.
What happened to us then
Can happen once again
And watch it now to me
History.

Years may come, (years may come)
Years may go, (quickly go.)
Some go far, (starry far)
Some go slow, (oh so slow)
Some are good, (very good)
Some are bad, (very sad)
For each one, (for what comes)
Just be glad, (let´s be glad)

What ever I refuse
My loving times with you
I wouldn´t change a single page
We´d live through
It wasn´t always smooth
Sometimes we jumped the groove
We shared some tears, 
And then rowed again.

Years may come, (years may come)
Years may go, (quickly go.)
Some go far, (starry far)
Some go slow, (oh so slow)
Some are good, (very good)
Some are bad, (very sad)
For each one, (for what comes)
Just be glad, (let´s be glad)

Some heartache sides will come
Life´s sure to dish us out
We´ll beat the lot and that´s is what 
Life´s all about.
What ever may come true
Ahead for me and you
Someday it all will be
Memory

Years may come, (years may come)
Years may go, (quickly go.)
Some go far, (starry far)
Some go slow, (oh so slow)
Some are good, (very good)
Some are bad, (very sad)
For each one, (for what comes)
Just be glad, (let´s be glad)

Years may come, (years may come)
Years may go, (quickly go.)
Some go far, (starry far).

Lady Barbara
(written by T.Wilson/E. Brown/G. Bigazzi/G. Savio)
(transcribed by Per Weber)

I used to think that I had everything I need
Then Lady Barbara, you came along
I never thought that I would want my life to change 
But Lady Barbara, I was wrong.

I gladly rearrange my life
If you want me to
Cause all I want is to spend my time
Doing things with you
If you want to change my life
It´s alright
Change my life
It´s alright with me.

Lady Barbara come live me
To a place I know
Where we can be alone.
Lady Barbara, 
I´d like to make you mine
Life don´t holding sun
I´d like to see you shine

I will like to think that you
Would always be with me
But I´m not sure
What´s on your mind
I just hope it´s me.
If you want to change my life
It´s alright
Please change my life
It´s alright with me.

Lady Barbara come live me
To a place I know
Where we can be alone.
Lady Barbara, 
I´d like to make you mine
Life don´t holding sun
I´d like to see you shine

Lady Barbara come live me
To a place I know...

Green Street Green
(written by G. Stephens )
(transcribed by Per Weber)

If you´ve got a pack of trouble
Waying on your worried mind
If you tend to see things double
And you can´t turn wind
Take a trip to green street green
Get yourself a little scene
Everything is kind of groovy
Down at green street green.

Situated north of Nancy
Just a little east of west
People there do what they fancy
Dressed in fancy dress.
So take a trip to green street green
And get yourself a little scene
Everything is kind of groovy
Down at green street green.

There´s a man with a band under the trees
Giving out the greatest sound
While the birds and the bees everywhere
Go buzz- buzz- buzzing around

So on a met to be an evening
Hustled up for one way fare
Organise your time of leaving
A bus will take you there
All the way to green street green
And get yourself a little scene
Everything is kind of groovy
Down at green street green.
Everything is kind of groovy
Down at green street green.
