And here come the lyrics of the new songs.

01. Me & You & Terry & Julie

Terry is an old teacher
He’s reading the paper in the church
Julie used to be famous
Portraying the bright-eyed Mother Earth

But how about you?
Do you want a love that lasts forever?
But how about you?
Do you want to spend the night together?

With someone so blue
That she doesn’t know what to do
Loves a big hole in her shoe
That’s the truth
How about you?

Terry’s folding the paper
And yawns at a Headline ???cocking crew???
Julie thinks he’s a charmer
Cause hes got the proper attitude

But how about you?
Do you want a love that lasts forever?
But how about you?
Do you want to spend the night together
With someone so blue?
That she doesn’t know what to do
Loves a big stone in her shoe that’s the truth
How about you

Whooo yeah
Whooo yeah
But how about you?
Dont you want a love that lasts forever?
Do you want to spend the night together
With someone so blue?
That she doesn’t know what to do
Loves a big thorn in her shoe that’s the truth
How about you?

Have a look on the new album’s backside! The new stairway photo combined with Gessle drawings and what looks like an airport pictogram. Don’t overlook the Crash! Boom! Bang! style reference on the track names!

“It’s Possible” is record of the week at BBC Radio 2!

It was just per accident that we learned Roxette’s Travelling is “Record of the Week” on BBC Radio 2 in the UK. That means the single is getting special daily airplay. The website points to the single release on March 16. Let’s hope this promotion opportunity does more for the new single in the UK than it did for She’s Got Nothing On a year ago!

PS. Note that they misspelled the name to “It’s Impossible”. ;)

Update: Actually they write “Release date: 16 April”, not March. A physical UK release on the horizon?

It gave Roxette #2 position in the chart.

World Tour 2012: Shanghai, China – March 14 #95

Comment from Per Gessle

Thank you Shanghai! What a wonderful way to end this Oz/Asian Tour! A beautiful crowd, singing along like never before, and a brilliant band even though both Chris and Pelle had the flu. Don’t know how they survived!!!
We certainly hope to come back to this great town before long. Now we take a short break before hitting the South American way of life! And the TRAVELLING-album is gonna see the light of day in a week or two! See y’all soon!
Cheers, P&M

“Sleeping in my car” and “Opportunity nox” were skipped on the Shanghai concert – as for the second, it was very probable authorities request as for the second – I cannot find any sexual content there… The guys oparating the spotlights apparently had a difficult time: they very often had Magnus in the spotlight instead of Per, and during the solo in 727 Christopher was in the dark all the time. Shanghai is a far more international city than Beijing, which was also clear during the concert. There was a much better athmosphere outside with many street vendors, music etc. Also there was far more singing along from the audience (IMHBL, HDYD, Johride, The Look all went fin, continuing SMT when Marie stops singing was too much asked however…).

Also there was official merchandise inside the arena, but limited to the concert poster ( €1,20 :D ) and the Chinese version of the Charm school Deluxe CD (without SIMC live, €8,50). Venue very full, about 90%, so it was around 10.000. Ca 5 meters from the stage to audience, but no barriers whatsoever between the front row and the stage, allowing Per to even shake hands with fans during a song (Joyride). After 1 or 2 he had to stop though, as too many people came forward.
