1999 CD Polygram International 543227
2000 CD Polygram International 543227



Great dance collection & much better than US version

From their first hit here in the US, "All That She Wants", to their newest single, "C'est La Vie (Always 21)", plus two other new songs, this CD has it all. From their 1st CD:The Sign, All That She Wants, Living In Danger, Don't Turn Around, Happy Nation, & Wheel Of Fortune. From their 2nd CD:Beautiful Life, Lucky Love, & Never Gonna Say I'm Sorry (extended club mix). From their 3rd & last all new CD released in America:Cruel Summer, Always Have Always Will, Everytime It Rains, & Life Is A Flower. This CD also has a few new tracks featured:C'est La Vie (Always 21), Hallo Hallo, & Love In December. Any serious Ace Of Base fan should seriously consider spending the extra money to import this version of the CD. The US release, lacks many of the tracks featured here, (only has 12 and 2 are remixes) and most importantly, only includes ONE of the three new tracks on this CD, "C'est La Vie (Always 21)". It even comes in a collector's box which is pretty cool.

C'EST LA VIE (ALWAYS 21) 

I am as young as I'm feeling
I'm always 21, I am always 21
C'est la vie, c'est la vie, c'est la vie
I'm always 21 at heart
Now listen to me

I need somebody to stay beside me 'cause I gotta hungry heart
Baby, with or without love, I'm gonna get a man who can fulfill my dream
From the top of the world, I don't wanna be alone
No, no, no not me

C'est la vie, c'est la vie on the road tonight
Love is good for you, oh when you're 21
C'est la vie, c'est la vie on my own tonight
Love will come to you, you are always 21

AHHH love is a liar but I will try it, give it another go
I know you have another, yes I've seen her, I wonder who she is
Does she kiss you the way that I used to kiss you?
I bet she wonders who I am

C'est la vie, c'est la vie on the road tonight...

C'est la vie, yeah

I get older everyday, but I will fight it 'til the end
There's a man for me to have and to hold
Easy come and easy go. once bitten but not for long
I'm as young as I'm feeling, yes I am

C'est la vie, c'est vie on my own tonight
Love will come to you, you are always 21
C'est la vie, c'est la vie on the road tonight
Life is good for you, oh when you're 21
You are always 21

Oh oh oh yeah, love's good

Life is good for you, oh when you're 21

Remember, you're always 21


   THE SIGN

I, I got a new life,
you would hardly recognize me I'm so glad
How can a person like me, check on you?
I, why do I bother, when you're not the one for me..
Ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh... is enough enough?

[ Chorus ]
I saw the sign, and it opened up my eyes
I saw the sign
life is demanding, without understanding
I saw the sign, and it opened up my eyes
I saw the sign
No one's gonna drag you up,
to get into the light, where you belong
but where do you belong?

I, under the pale moon, for so many years
I've wondered who you are
How can a person like you, bring me joy?
Under the pale moon,
where I see a lot of stars
Ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh, is enough enough?

[ Chorus ]

I saw the sign, and it opened up my mind and
I am happy now living without you,
I left you oh oh oh.
I saw the sign, and it opened up my eyes I saw the sign.
No one's gonna drag you up,
to get into the light where you belong.
I saw the sign, I saw the si-e-ine. I saw the sign.
I saw the sign, I saw the sign,
I saw the sign, I saw the si-e-i-e-ine.
I saw the sign, I saw the sign. I saw the sign.
And it opened up my eyes I saw the sign.


   BEAUTIFUL LIFE 

You can do what you want
Just seize the day
What you're doing tomorrow's
Gonna come your way
Don't you ever consider giving up
You will find...oh-oh

[ Chorus ]

It's a beautiful life oh oh-oh-oh
It's a beautiful life oh oh-oh-oh
It's a beautiful life oh whoa-oh-oh
I just wanna be here beside you
And stay until the break of dawn

Take a walk in the park when you feel down
There's so many things there
That's gonna lift you up
See the nature in bloom a laughing child
Such a dream...oh-oh

[ Chorus ]

I just wanna be here beside you
Oh, yeah, alright
I just wanna be here beside you
And stay until the break of dawn
You're looking for somewhere to belong
You're standing all alone
For someone to guide you on your way
Now and forever...

[ Chorus ]

I just wanna be anybody
We're living in different ways
It's a beautiful life
I'm gonna take you to the place I've never been before
Oh, yeah
It's a beautiful life
I'm gonna take you in my arms and fly away with you tonight
Oh, yeah, alright
It's a beautiful life
Yeah, alright
It's a beautiful life

[ Chorus ]

It's a beautiful life

[ Chorus ]

It's a beautiful life


   HALLO HALLO

Hello hello ahh...
Hello hello ahh...
Hello hello ahh...
Hello hello ahh...

Coming from my work I'm tired
I see you get on my bus
Here I go again, a new attraction
And I think I know you
Something is familiar 'bout your face
I move through the crowd so I can get a better look

Hello hello
I got what you're looking for
Hello hello
Can't you see me, hello
Hello
Everybody's looking for a crazy heart
Can't you see me I'm here
Beside you

Weren't you the one who
Spilled my long drink over at a bar
Easy come, easy go I said and laughed
Looking like a question mark you
Stood there wondering what to do
And I said to you "Don't you look to happy now"

Hello hello...

Hello hello
Here I'm standing next to you
Hello Hello
I am an object, nothing new
Talk to me you're looking strange
Let me know if my presence is bothering you

Hello Hello
Everybody's looking
How can't you see me

Hello hello
Everybody's searching
How can't you see me

Hello hello
Everybody's looking
How can't you see

Hello hello
Everybody's searching
How can't you see me

Ahh...


   ALWAYS HAVE ALWAYS WILL

Always have always will
I was mesmerised when I first met you
Wouldn't let myself believe
that you could step out of my wildest dream
but you didn't know the secret part of me
until we kissed and made it open up so easily

I always have
even when I didn't show
I always will
you know that I just wanna touch you
whenever you're close to me
I always have
doesn't matter where we go
I always will
you know I just wanna show you
just how much you mean to me
always have always will

Everything that you give in to
everything you'll ever need
is locked up somewhere deep inside of me
and you gotta know
but more importantly
you've got to stay and hold me while I live this fantasy

I always have
even when I didn't show
I always will
you know that I just wanna touch you
whenever you're close to me
I always have
doesn't matter where we go
I always will
you know I just wanna show you
just how much you mean to me

Sometimes we try hard to please
we should let love come naturally
and sometimes I don't know
just what you really do to me
that's o.k.
'cause it's part of the mystery .

I always have
even when I didn't show
I always will
you know that I just wanna touch you
whenever you're close to me
I always have
doesn't matter where we go
I always will
you know I just wanna show you
just how much you mean to me
always have always will


   LOVE IN DECEMBER

We had a million of days
I know that out time has run out
You're my everlasting groove
Forget the past, for the time to come
In all our thoughts and we will meet again
Never leave me out here in the cold
I sing for my never-ending dream

Love in December, I will always remember
Our summer with passion, a fatal attraction
Colors are fading like the leaves in November
What's left of the magic?

We had a million of days...

Love in December...
What's left of the magic we felt in the spring time?

'Cause there's a place in the world
I know where I rather would be
In the fairy tales of love
Where everything has a happy end
A world my friend in Fantasia land
We will be together all the time, my friend
In the fairy tales of love

Love in December...

For a moment a touch could feel
Like a vision of an angel
Has our love and desire dissappeared forever?
Always longing to have you near
Feel the power and the passion
Feel me slipping from your hands
Please break my fall

Love in December...

Love in December...

Love in December...

Love in December...


   ALL THAT SHE WANTS 

She leeds a lonely life - she leeds a lonely life

When she woke up late in the morning light
and the day has just begun
she opened her eyes and thought
o' what a morning
it's not a day for work
it's a day for catching tan
just laying on the beach and having fun
she's going to get you

all that she wants is another baby
she's gone tomorrow boy
all that she wants is another baby
all that she wants is another baby
she's gone tomorrow boy
all that she wants is another baby

all that she wants - all that she wants

so if you are in sight and the day is right
she's the hunter you're the fox
the gentle voice that talks to you
won't talk forever
it's a night for passion
but the morning means goodbye
beware of that is flashing on her eyes
she's going to get you

all that she wants ...


   LIVING IN DANGER

Live for yourself,
its a wonderful thing,
you can do what you want,
you can live in a dream,
get up, get in, get the rhythm, get down
You're living your life in peace and in harmony
You're making your own decisions
That's how its got to be for you and me,
so many people are running 'round and 'round
Without any sense of logic

[ Chorus ]

I see lies, in the eyes of a stranger
Whoa-oh, you'll be living in danger
Live for yourself its a wonderful thing
you can do what you want you can live in a dream
get up, get in, get the rhythm, get down

Keep moving your feet don't go wasting your time
Everybody's moving, yeah they're getting in line
get up, get in, get the rhythm, get down

[ Chorus ]

People are the same today as they used to be
The same expectations, so high no one can reach
that high not I nor you get satisfied today,
we never get enough

[ Chorus ]

People are the same today as they used to be...
We never get enough

[ Chorus ]

Look into the eyes of a stranger
Oh so much danger, oh so much danger
Look into the eyes of a stranger
oh so much danger, oh so much danger
Look into the eyes of a stranger..
In the eyes of a stranger..
You'll be living... in danger...


   EVERYTIME IT RAINS

I see dark clouds out my window
I know the storm is coming any minute
And the thunder just confirms my fears
And I know that tears are in it
I'll be crying only for it to stop
Look here comes the very first drop

Everytime it rains, I fall to pieces
So many memories the rain releases
I feel you, I taste you, I cannot forget
Everytime it rains, I get wet

Darling, I am stil in love with you
As time passes by it just intensifies
I know I'll never be with you again
I'll never find another with that kindness in his eyes
I'll be trying only for it to stop
Look here comes the very first drop

Everytime it rains, I fall to pieces
So many memories the rain releases
I feel you, I taste you, I cannot forget
Everytime it rains, I get wet

On sunny days the more I... I walk in the light
And I try not to think about the love I live without

'Cause everytime it rains, I fall to pieces
So many memories the rain releases
I feel you, I taste you, I cannot forget
Everytime it rains, I get wet

Everytime it rains, I fall to pieces (everytime)
So many memories the rain releases (memories)
I feel you, I taste you, I cannot forget
Everytime it rains, I get wet (everytime it rains)

Everytime it rains, I fall to pieces (everytime it rains)
So many memories the rain releases (memories)
I feel you, I taste you, I cannot forget
Everytime it rains, (everytime it rains)
I get wet


   DON'T TURN AROUND 

I will survive...without you
Don't tell me that you want to leave
If you want to leave, I won't beg you to stay
And if you gotta go, darling, maybe its better that way
I'm gonna be strong, I'm gonna do fine, don't worry about this heart of mine
Walk out that door, see if I care, go on and go, but

[ Chorus ]

Don't Turn Around, cuz you're gonna see my heart breaking
Don' t turn around, I don't want you seeing me cry - just walk away,
its tearing me apart that you're leaving,
I'm letting you go, but I won't let you know.
I won't let you know.
I won't miss your arms around me,
holding me tight... holding me tight.
And if you ever think about me,
just know that I'll be alright...I'll be all right.
I'm gonna be strong, I'm gonna do fine,
don't worry about this heart of mine,
I will survive I'll make it through,
I'll even learn to live without you.

[ Chorus ]

I wish I could scream out loud that I love you,
I wish I could say to you don't go --
As he walks away he feels the pain getting strong,
people in your life, they don't know what's going on
Too proud to turn around, he's gone...

[ Chorus ]


   CRUEL SUMMER

Hot summer streets and the pavements are burning
I sit around
Trying to smile but the air is so heavy and dry
Strange voices are saying (ah, what did they say?)
Things I can't understand
It's too close for comfort this heat has got
Right out of hand

It's a cruel, (cruel) cruel summer
Leaving me here on my own
It's a cruel, (it's a cruel) cruel summer
Now you're gone
You're not the only one
It's a cruel

The city is crowded, my friends are away and I'm on my own
It's too hot to handle so I gotta get up and go

It's a cruel, cruel summer (leaving me)
Leaving me here on my own
It's a cruel, (it's a cruel) cruel summer
Now you're gone
You're not the only one

Now don't you leave me
Now don't you leave me
Well don't you leave me
Come on, come on

Now don't you leave me
Now don't you leave me
Well don't you leave me

Come on, come on
It's a cruel, cruel summer (leaving me)
Leaving me here on my own

It's a cruel (it's a cruel) cruel summer
Now you're gone
You're not the only one

It's a cruel, cruel summer (leaving me)
Leaving me here on my own
It's a cruel (it's a cruel) cruel summer
Now you're gone
You're not the only one

It's a cruel, cruel summer
It's a cruel, (it's a cruel) cruel summer

It's a cruel, cruel summer (leaving me)
It's a cruel, (it's a cruel) cruel summer

It's a cruel summer

[ Chorus ]
I'm never gonna say I'm sorry
I'm a clown for everyone
I'm never gonna let you down
I'm always here like a sun
I'm a loser
that is a fact for sure
I'm happy even if you don't want
To invite me out for a dance tonight
I'm not normal
I know it
I don't care

[ Chorus ]

I'm always here like a sun
I'm always here
Like a ghost I follow your steps so true
You don't have to bribe me
Or fill me up
Give me just a minute to shine with you
I will make you so happy
Make you laugh
I'm never gonna say I'm sorry for
The essence of my soul
There's so many ways to change my life
'Cause I want to...oh
I'm like a clown
I'm fun for everyone

[ Chorus ]


   LIFE IS A FLOWER

We live in a free world
I whistle down the wind
carry on smiling
and the world will smile with you
life is a flower
so precious in your hand
carry on smiling
and the world will smile with you

When every race is run and the day is closing in
I don't care about the world I'm living for the light
don't cry for me today, oh

We live in a free world
I whistle down the wind
carry on smiling
and the world will smile with you
life is a flower
so precious in your hand
carry on smiling
and the world will smile with you

I cannot be your judge Mr Jailer is your host
he's keeping you inside, and hides you from the world
no catcher in the rye can help you from yourself

We live in a free world
I whistle down the wind
carry on smiling
and the world will smile with you
life is a flower
so precious in your hand
carry on smiling
and the world will smile with you

please Mr Agony release them for a while
learn then the consequence of living without life
We live in a free world
I whistle down the wind
carry on smiling
and the world will smile with you
life is a flower
so precious in your hand
carry on smiling
and the world will smile with you


   WHEEL OF FORTUNE

what you gonna tell your dad
it's like a wheel of fortune
and what you gonna tell your dad
if this wheel lets you down

my love is my engine
and you might be fuel
stop acting cool
just bet you might win
I'm not too cruel

We're gonna make you move

dont push me
I don't want to can't you see it
hasten slowly
and don't count your chicks before they're
hatched baby!

what you gonna tell...

hey you..
we're gonna make you move
it tastes like steel
like a stab from a knife

what you gonna tell...

I'm in love with another fool

I'm in love with you I like your style
I want you I'm in love

what you gonna tell ...
