At the risk of boring you with more Swedish pop, here’s min favouriter at the moment. I’ve loved the song for ages, but have only just discovered this clip on the youtube thingy…

Rest assured, the song is in English. In the introduction Magnus Carlsson from Alcazar basically says here’s a song from England, and it’s from their new album and single, and it’s written by Pet Shop Boys…

To be honest, it’s all a bit two gay boys dancing at the Midnight Shift (too old for Stonewall) with female friends somewhere vaguely in the background dancing along. This is especially at the end where there’s some pseudo male to male flirting going on between Magnus and Andreas. Where are the girls then?

Still, I think it’s a great song, and a great performance, and I guess that’s why I love it so much.

And when it comes to Magnus and his still evident sexy hairy-chest…. “can I be the one?”.

Can I be the one
To share your love life
To share your love life

You live a life alone
and so do I
Don´t you ever get lonely
and do you wonder why?
May I propose a new solution?
A revolution
for you and me?
Oh

Can I be the one
to share your love life?
(Share your love life)
Can I be the one
to share your love life?
Can I be the one
to share your love life?
(Share your love life)
Can I be the one
to share your love life?

Why don´t we share a place
the two of us?
Just a quiet life
without much fuss
With our love
we´ll make the
most of it
You must admit
You´ll agree
Oh.

Can I be the one…

I´m tall and presentable
Well-dressed and clean
With a good sence of humour
Non-smoking
Non-scene
I like walks in the country
A film or a play
A couple of beers
or a glass of Chardonnay

To share your love life
To share your love life

Can I be the one…
