TAKE ON ME (3:46) (Pal
Waaktaar/Mags/Morten Harket)
We're talking away I
don't know what I'm to say I'll say it anyway Today's
another day to find you Shying away I'll be coming for
your love, OK?
Take on me, take me on I'll be
gone In a day or two
So needless to say I'm odds
and ends But that's me stumbling away Slowly learning
that life is OK. Say after me It's no better to be safe
than sorry
Take on me, take me on I'll be gone In
a day or two
Oh the things that you say Is it life
or Just a play my worries away You're all the things
I've got to remember You're shying away I'll be
coming for you anyway
Take on me, take me on I'll be
gone In a day or two
TRAIN OF
THOUGHT (4:11) (Pal Waaktaar)
He likes to have
the morning paper's Crossword solved Words go up words
come down Forwards backwards twisted round He grabs a
pile of letters from a small suitcase Disappears into an
office It's another working day
And his thoughts are
full of strangers Corridors of naked lights And his mind
once full of reason Now there's more than meets the
eye Oh, a stranger's face he carries with him
He
likes a bit of reading on the subway home A distant radio
whistling tunes that nobody knows At home a house awaits
him, He unlocks the door Thinking once there was a sea
here But there never was a door
And his thoughts are
full of strangers And his eyes to numb to see And
nothing that he knows of And nowhere where he's been Was
ever quite like this And his thoughts...
And at
heart He's full of strangers Dodging on his train of
thought Train of thought
HUNTING
HIGH AND LOW (3:43) (Pal Waaktaar)
Here I
am And within the reach of my hands She sounds asleep
and she's sweeter now Than the wildest dream could have
seen her And I Watch her slipping away Though I know
I'll be hunting high and low
High There's no end to
the lengths I'll go to Hunting high and
low High There's no end to lengths I'll go
To
find her again Upon this my dreams are depending Through
the dark I sense the pounding of her heart Next to
mine She's the sweetest love I could find So I guess
I'll be hunting high and low
High There's no end to
the lengths I'll go to High and Low High Do you know
what it means to love you...
I'm hunting high and
low And now she's telling me she's got to go away I'll
always be hunting high and low Hungry for you Watch me
tearing myself to pieces Hunting high and
low
High There's no end to the lengths I'll go
to Oh, for you I'll be hunting high and
low
THE BLUE SKY (2:22) (Pal
Waaktaar)
I find it hard to breathe As life just
eats away At the faces that surround me They look tired
today The lady at my table Doesn't want me here I
just want to talk to her
But would she laugh at my
accent And make fun of me Oh, it doesn't seem like
this Blue sky's here for me
There are no girls in
here As far as I can see Only pin-up posters Looking
down at me Watching papercups of coffee Growing cold
before my eyes All the things I see That make me
realize
I'm in this big world without you Nothing to
my name Oh, I never knew that Blue sky meant such
pain
I'm dying to be different In the coffee
shop I've lived on borrowed strength Now my supplies are
cut Though i'm older than my looks And older than my
years I'm too young to take on My deepest
fears
Oh, I used to be confused But now I just don't
know Since you left I've been watching Blue skies come
and go Since you left I've been watching Blue skies come
and go
LIVING A BOY'S ADVENTURE TALE
(5:00) (Pal Waaktaar/Morten Harket)
I've fixed
my dwelling for the night Lights in pairs come passing by
where I hide I need some time now on my own Leave my
loneliness alone To lick my wounds Night has found me
just in time To help me close my eyes one more
time
Living a boy's adventure tale In so many
ways Living a boy's adventure tale For so many
days I'm living a boy's adventure tale Can't escape, if
I wanted to Living a boy's adventure tale I may be
dreaming but I feel awake
I've been lost in so many
places Seeked love in so many faces A change of weather,
the rain pours down My head in hands, pressed to the
ground And where am I supposed to go now
Living a
boy's adventure tale In so many ways Living a boy's
adventure tale (aah) Living a boy's adventure tale A
voice I hear Living a boy's adventure tale Singing a
lullaby for me Living a boy's adventure tale Because of
you Living a boy's adventure Oh you know it's
true Living a boy's adventure tale In so many ways
(aah) For so many days I love you. I love you So many
ways
THE SUN ALWAYS SHINES ON T.V.
(5:06) (Pal Waaktaar)
Touch me How can it
be Believe me The sun always shines on T.V Hold
me Close to your heart Touch me And give all your
love to me To me...
I Reached inside myself And
found nothing there To ease the pressure of My ever
worrying mind All my powers waste away I fear the crazed
and lonely looks The mirror's sending me These Days
Please don't ask me to defend The shamefull
lowlands Of the way I'm drifting Gloomily through
time
I reached inside myself today Thinking there's got to be
some way To keep my troubles distant
Touch me How
can it be Believe me The sun always shines on TV Hold
me Close to your heart Touch me And give all your
love to me
AND YOU TELL ME
(1:51) (Pal Waaktaar)
Please don't hurt me I
have told you All my love is all i've got And tomorrow
is the day When I for your sake I'm coming
back
And you tell me That i don't love
you
I'm trying hard to make you jealous Trying
harder to make you stay Days are longer Night are
crazy It's so strange when you're away
And you tell
me That i don't love you Please Let me come to
you And stay this time
And you tell me That i
don't love you Oh you know That it's just not
true
LOVE IS REASON
(3:04) (Pal Waaktaar, Mags)
My breath was coming
fast And as i make a start You turn to go oh,
oh I'll do what you want me to I'll cry at the thought
of the loss of a heart
Love is reason Love is
reason Love is reason Love is reason enough
My
morals are changing fast I told you it wouldn't last You
turn and go oh, oh I'll be what you want me to be I'd
die at the thought of the loss of your heart
Love is
reason Love is reason Love is reason Love is reason
enough
I DREAM MYSELF ALIVE
(3:06) (Pal Waaktaar)
Dream myself alive I
dream myself alive You can't deny There's something
dark Against the light All i can say It doesn't have
to be this way We'll be chasing our tails madly See days
pass like wildfire Right from the start I knew this
world would break my heart
I dream myself
alive Dream myself alive I dream myself alive Break
my heart And dream myself alive What can it
mean
I'm drawing pictures of the sea Right from the
start I knew this girl would break my heart
Dream
myself alive Dream myself alive I dream myself
alive Dream myself alive Dream myself alive I dream
myself alive
HERE I STAND AND FACE
THE RAIN (4:30) (Pal Waaktaar)
Help me I need
your love Don't walk away The dark scares me so We're
nothing apart Let's stay friends
forever Forever
Here I stand and face the rain I
know that nothing's gonna be the same again I fear for what
tomorrow brings
Trust me For who I am Place all
your faith Into these hands I got nothing to say But
let's stay friends forever forever
Here I stand and
face the rain I know that nothing's gonna be the same
again I fear for what tomorrow brings Here i stand and
face the rain I know that nothing's gonna be the same
again I fear for what tomorrow brings Here I stand and
face the rain Knowing nothing's gonna be the same
again ... Here I stand and face the rain Knowing
nothing's gonna be the same Again
