Joyride
Roxette · Don't Bore Us - Get To The Chorus!
C'mon join the joyride
I hit the road out of nowhere,
I had to jump in my car
and be a rider in a love game
following the stars,
don't need no book of wisdom,
I get no money talk at all
She has a train going downtown,
she's got a club on the moon
and she's telling all her secrets
in a wonderful balloon.
She's the heart of the funfair,
she's got me whistling her private tune
And it all begins where it ends,
and she's all mine,
my magic friend
She says: hello, you fool, I love you,
c'mon join the joyride, join the joyride
She's a flower, I can paint her,
she's a child of the sun,
we're a part of this together,
could never turn around and run
Don't need no fortune teller
to know where my lucky love belongs oh no
Cos it all begins again when it ends, yea,
and we're all
magic friends.
She says: hello, you fool, I love you,
c'mon join the joyride, join the joyride
She says: hello, you fool, I love you,
c'mon join the joyride, be a joyrider
I take you on a skyride,
I feeling like you're spellbound
The sunshine is a lady
who ROX you like a baby
She says: hello, you fool, I love you,
c'mon join the joyride, join the joyride
Hello, you fool, I love you,
c'mon join the joyride, join the joyride
Hello, hello, you fool, I love you,
c'mon c'mon join the joyride, be a joyrider
ROXETTE
Joyride - Roxette
Released in 1996 on the album Don't Bore Us - Get To The Chorus!, Joyride stands as a defining track in the Swedish synth-pop canon. The song features the signature vocal interplay between Marie Fredriksson and Per Gessle, blending melodic pop sensibilities with the electronic textures that characterized the group's later work. While the band is globally recognized for hits like It Must Have Been Love, Joyride represents a distinct evolution in their sound, incorporating more complex production and a darker, atmospheric mood. The recording captures the transition of Roxette from their early 80s pop roots into a more mature, sophisticated style that influenced the Eurodance and new wave revival movements of the mid-to-late 90s. Its enduring appeal lies in its catchy hook and the seamless fusion of vocal harmonies with driving electronic rhythms.
