Song 1

Greczula – “Half of Me

Text & music: Andreas Weling, Karl Ivert, Kian Sang, Greczula

Greczula / Janne Danielsson – SVT

I don’t want my past

To keep holding us back from our future

If I don’t risk everything now

I know I’m gonna lose you


From strangers to lovers

To strangers again, it would kill me

Yeah I’m trying, I’m trying

When you make it look so damn easy


It’s a sign of the times

A part of me knows

And a part of me don’t

How it unfolds

How the story unfolds

I’m damned if I don’t

I wanna have all of you

I don’t know what to do


Half of me, half of me

Wants to give you all of me, all of me

The other wants to run away, far away

I can’t love you just to lose you


Half of me, half of me

Knows if I give you all of me, all of me

Then nothing will be left of me, can’t you see

I can’t love you just to lose you

You get what you give

So it’s time you got back what you’re giving

But I’ve lived my life on the fence

Without ever committing


Wish forever was something we could sign

But who am I kidding

I wanna have all of you

I don’t know what to do


Half of me, half of me

Wants to give you all of me, all of me

The other wants to run away, far away

I can’t love you just to lose you

Half of me, half of me

Knows if I give you all of me, all of me

Then nothing will be left of me, can’t you see

I can’t love you just to lose you


Half of me wants to give all of me

Half of me wants me to run away

Half of me wants to give all of me

Half of me wants me to run away


Half of me

I wanna give you

All of me

You’ve only seen

Half of me

Jacqline / Janne Danielsson – SVT

I could be your woman

Proud to be a woman

I could be your woman

Proud to be a woman


It started off just like a dream

Put your body up, up on me

I’ll give you all my love for free

Cause boy you set my heart on fire

Ain’t got no time to lose

Gotta live it fast, skip the rules

Can you tell I’m into you?

Yeah I’m gonna set your heart on fire


You wanna have it

Ah yeah

You wanna get it

You gonna love it

Yeah boy

But can you handle it?


Aaa oooh

But can you handle it?


Don’t wanna put my love on hold

Wanna have you up, up on me

Now I’m about to lose control

Cause boy you set my heart on fire


Ain’t got no time to lose

Gotta live it fast, skip the rules

Don’t know if you’ve heard the news

But I’m gonna set your heart on fire


You gonna love it

Yeah boy

But can you handle it?

Song 3

noll2 – “Berusade ord

Text & music: Fredrik Andersson, Jakob Westerlund, Wilmer Öberg

noll2 / Janne Danielsson – SVT

Berusade ord är nyktra tankar

Vaknade upp, och hjärtat bankar

Sa jag nåt fel eller sa jag nåt alls

Smakade på orden som har fastnat i min hals


Det blev sent igen

Sa för många ord

I botten av flaskan fann jag mod


Att säga till dig

Nåt du inte vet

Säg kan du hålla en hemlighet


Allt som jag vill göra

Kanske kan förstöra, åh

Men jag sa det ändå


Berusade ord är nyktra tankar

Vaknade upp, och hjärtat bankar

Sa jag nåt fel eller sa jag nåt alls

Smakade på orden som har fastnat i min hals


Ooh oh oh – oh oh oh oh oh oh

Ooh oh oh – oh oh oh oh


Jag har gjort det förut

Så jag gör det igen

Det sluta inte bra

Men jag sa sanningen

Och det är sån jag är


Och allting som jag gjorde

Var nåt jag inte borde, åh

Men jag sa det ändå

Berusade ord är nyktra tankar

Vaknade upp och hjärtat bankar

Sa jag nåt fel eller sa jag nåt alls


Berusade ord försent på natten

Orden gick vilse emellan skratten

Sa jag nåt fel eller sa jag nåt alls

Smakade på orden som har fastnat i min hals


Lätt att missförstå men jag gör det igen

Ja jag gör det igen

Jag är lätt att missförstå men jag gör det igen

Jag gör det igen


Berusade ord är mina nyktra tankar

Vaknade på morgonen och huvudet bankar

Sa jag nåt fel eller sa jag nåt alls

När jag smakade på orden som har fastnat i min hals


Ooh oh oh – oh oh oh oh oh oh

Ooh oh oh – oh oh oh oh


Sa jag nåt fel eller sa jag nåt alls

Smakade på orden som har fastnat i min hals

Song 5

Indra – “Beautiful Lie

Text & music: Anderz Wrethov, Indra, Kristofer Strandberg, Laurell Barker, Robert Skowronski

Indra / Janne Danielsson – SVT

It’s all I see

It’s haunting me

A shadowed truth

Beneath the sun


You want to know

Just who I am

But silence lives

Where shadows run


And now you’re pulling me into the darkest night

Again


Sing me one more lullaby

And fly me to the moon

I’ll keep the secrets in your eyes

Jupiter’s fading too soon


Kiss me on the northern lights

We’ll dance into the sky

And stay until the heavens start to cry

In this beautiful lie


In this beautiful lie


You’re all I know

Enchanting me

A quiet fire

I can’t deny


And now you’re pulling me into the darkest night

Again

Sing me one more lullaby

And fly me to the moon

I’ll keep the secrets in your eyes

Jupiter’s fading too soon


Kiss me on the northern lights

We’ll dance into the sky

And stay until the heavens start to cry

In this beautiful lie


I see the stars falling with you and I, I, I

But our broken dreams still refuse to die

Oh


Sing me one more lullaby

And fly me to the moon

I’ll keep the secrets in your eyes

Jupiter’s fading too soon


Kiss me on the northern lights

We’ll dance into the sky

And stay until the heavens start to cry

In this beautiful lie

Song 6

A*Teens – “Iconic

Text & music: Dino Medanhodzic, Jimmy Jansson, Lina Hansson, Moa “Cazzi Opeia” Carlebecker, Thomas G:son

A*Teens / Janne Danielsson – SVT

(Iconic)


I come alive when you’re calling my name

My ride or die every step of the way

I got this feeling

And you’re the reason


And there’s a fire burning deep in my veins

Pulling me closer like a moth to a flame

It’s so magnetic

Oh when you’re next to me


Feel the ground is shaking, we’re ready to go

Feel our bodies losing control


Raise your hands

We’re gonna reach for the starlight

Dance the night away

Make it

Iconic


We ain’t gonna stop till the sunrise

Make it

Iconic

Yeah

We’re gonna reach for the starlight

I-Iconic


Lose track of time

We get high of the sound

It’s such a rush

Never wanna come down

It’s so hypnotic

You spin me ’round and ’round


Feel the ground is shaking, we’re ready to go

Feel our bodies losing control

We just wanna wanna live, live it all for the night

Tonight

Tonight

Raise your hands

We’re gonna reach for the starlight

Dance the night away

Make it

We ain’t gonna stop till the sunrise
