A-ha - (seemingly) Nonstop July

Walking by strangers
Stranger than me
We talk of the future
Between you and me

Sweet little darling
Where will we be
Sweet little darling
Where will we be

It's hard to conceive it
All comes to an end
A joke when it's funny, well...
I laugh and pretend

We're fools to believe it
We're fools to try
To slow down this seemingly
Nonstop July

A-ha - A Fine Blue Line

Take a look and see
What's become of me
Remember how it used to be

People that we'd meet
Were falling at your feet
You didn't even see it

Time marches on ahead - enough said
There's only one way through it
Time marches on ahead - one day we'll see it
How there's a fine blue line
Running through it

We read each other's books
We gave each other looks
Like we couldn't trust ourselves
And we knew it

So tell me where you've been
And i'll show you where you're going
You can shout, you can scream
Your way through it

Well time rushes on ahead - enough said
That's just the way we blew it
Time marches on ahead - one day you'll see it
Love is a fine blue line

Time races on ahead - enough said
That's just the way we blew it
Time marches on ahead - one day you'll see it
Love is the fine blue line
Running through it

A-ha - Afternoon High

The sunlight hits the corner of your eye
As it bounces off the morning sky
The summer in the 70s fly by
Bye
Daylight hits the corners of your mind
Steals the thought you thought no one could find
Close your eyes and it will rob you blind
Blind
Incidental memories collide
Sentimental reveries abide
Afternoon high
Daylight hits the corners of your mouth
Steals the words that filled you up with doubt
Open up and let them all fall out
Honey smoothes the wrinkles from you bed
Gone are the indentations of your head
Leaving just the frown upon your forehead
Incidental memories collide
Sentimental reveries abide
Afternoon high
Worry works a wrinkle over time
Open eyes and let it rob you blind
Incidental memories collide
People tell me you've been blinded by
On afternoon high
On afternoon high
On afternoon high

A-ha - A-ha

Early morning
Eight o'clock precise
I see the lonely August sun arise

Say you know
You will
Move me like you do

Out on the fields...
I'm waiting the whole night through
Early morning, early morning, yeah

Ran the whole way
Down to the tracks
Through the doorway
Then a last look back

Say you know
You will
Save me like you do

Out on the fields...
I've waited the whole night through
Early morning, early morning, yeah

I climbed all the stairways
To find the rooftop clear
Got the shotgun lying with me here
Say you know
You will
Move me like you do

Out on the fields...
You know how it feels, yeah
Early morning, early morning, yeah

Early morning
Eight o'clock precise

A-ha - Analogue

Come back, my darling one
I'm calling on you
The road ahead is long
And i must warn you
I wonder
Where did she go?
If i failed you
I tell you right now
All i want you to know; i love you
All i need
Is the time to show you

Come back, my fallen son
Don't let them fool you
Cos when the day is done
They'll never move you
Lay down your senseless pride
Got more than you
Put out your mournful tones
I tell you right now
All i want you to know; i love you
All i need is the time
To show you how i feel

A-ha - Barely Hanging On

I used to be so sensible on my own
Now I'm so sensitive it's a joke
I'm getting by on decibels like a drug
And greet every brand
New day with a shrug

I'm barely hanging on

I used to be so comfortable in a suit
Almost presentable next to you
I used to be so confident in a crowd
Now I can't say my own name aloud

I'm barely hanging on

And now I guess you're
Wondering why
We never could see eye to eye
Oh but never mind
And now I guess it's hard to see
What has gotten into me
Oh but never mind

I'm barely hanging on

A-ha - Celice

Celice
It's in the way you hurt me
Celice
I know that I'm alive

Open up inside
Make me want you
Make me want to

Wrap yourself around me
Hold me tighter
Hold me tight as you can

Celice
It's in the way you hurt me
Celice
You sharpen all my sense
I know you're on my side

Celice
It's on the way you teach me
Celice
To chase the thoughts away
You opened up my eyes
Made me want you
Made me want to

You know it feels so nice
Hold me tight now
Hold me tight as can be

Celice
It's in the way you hurt me
Celice
I know that I'm alive
Celice
You sharpen all my sense
I know you're in my side

A-ha - Cry Wolf

'Night I left the city,
I dreamt of a wolf...
He came from where the winds are cold
And truth is seen through keyholes
...strange longings never sleep
Now he's come where no hearts beat

Cry wolf
Time to worry
Cry wolf
Time to worry now

You can start, but you cannot stop
You give in, but you can't give up
You can tell all your desperate jokes
To a world that puts your
Love on hold

Cry wolf
Time to worry
Cry wolf
Time to worry now

...the sunken-in eyes
And the pain in his cries
A shape in the dark...

Cry wolf
Time to worry
Cry wolf
Time to worry now

A-ha - East Of The Sun

Half of a letter
Tells half a story
The way I see it
It's half the worry
Where I came from
I forgot too soon...
East of the sun
And west of the moon

Money talks
And hey, I'm listening
I've lived without it
Enough to miss it
Where I'm going
I'll get there soon
East of the sun
And west of the moon

Ooh, never gonna get there later
You know, I wanna get there soon
Never gonna get there, baby
On a desert road to home
East of the sun
And west of the moon

Another day leaves me aching
I try to wake up
But something's breaking
Here inside me
Deep and hollow
A sound that no other sound could follow
I know the pain
Before the wound
East of the sun
And west of the moon

A-ha - Forever Not Yours

Hold me tight, this is a lonely night
and i've hurt you babe, 'cause you're my light
Make me strong, just like you make me weak
and your hands reach out for me
even in your sleep

I'll soon be gone now
Forever not yours
It won't be long now
Forever not yours

Memories they keep coming through
The good ones hurt more than the bad ones do
The days were hot, and the nights were deep
And I miss you, babe
I miss you, babe

I'll soon be gone now
Forever not yours
It won't be long now
Forever not yours

I'll soon be gone now

It won't be long now
Forever not
Forever not yours

I'll soon be gone now
Forever not yours
It won't be long now
Forever not yours
I'll soon be gone now
Forever not yours
It won't be long now
Forever not yours

A-ha - Heaven’s Not For Saints

Heaven's not for saints
You only have one cup
Now you've filled it up
Let it go, babe - just let it go

Dimlit path ahead
The road is wide
But your eyes are red
Let it go, babe - just let it go

Child, my brother
My brother look around you
The night is calling you
Close to the edge
Who knows the distance
The distance when light fades away

The river knows the way
The father is your son
Life has just begun
Let it go, babe - just let it go

Child, my brother
My brother look around you
The night is calling you
Close to the edge
Who knows the distance
The distance when light fades away

Just let it go...
...'cos heaven's not for saints

A-ha - Hunting High And Low

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

A-ha - Hurry Home

Hurry home
Freight train running
I've been gone
Too long, honey
Why did I waste away
The only good thing left to save me

Hurry home
Freight train running
She's alone
Got no money
(She's alone...she got no money
Coming home, I've done my running)
Coming home
No more running
Why now should I deny
The only true thing left inside me
Coming home
No more running

I'm doing right
For once in my life now
I'm doing right
For once in my life now
No more running...
(He's doing right!)

(Rolling countries... fields unfolding
I swear the winds are calling)

So I hurry home
No more running
She's all alone
She got no money
(She's alone...she got no money
coming home, I've done my running)
Why should I go and hide
The only true thing left inside me
Hurry home
Freight train running

A-ha - I Call Your Name

We got married on a cold mid-winter's morning
We said our lines
Then kissed
And it was over

Those pronouncements had such weight
I guess they made us hesitate
Hesitate

When she moved her hips
And swayed in my direction
I thought we could make it yet
And beat the isolation

But in that gentle dark
Man, we tore ourselves apart

Through fire and rain
Through wilderness and pain
Through the losses, through the gains
On love's roller coaster train
I call your name

...We used to laugh
Is the fire dying, babe
It hurts to ask

Let me hold you for awhile.

A-ha - I Wish I Cared

To hold me closer or set me free
To trust completely or let it be
You don't know my destiny
You can't see what I can see

Hey - I wish I cared
Hey - I wish I cared

To love me truely or let me go
Inbetween I don't want to know
This is how it has to be
No more us and no more we

Hey - I wish I cared
Hey - I wish I cared

Once again, on the station
See your face in a crowd
Comes again the sensation
You can't hear yourself think
With their voices inside your head

Hey - I wish I cared
Hey - I wish I cared
I wish I cared
Yes I really do
I wish I cared
(Hey) I wish I cared
Yes I really do
I wish I cared
(Hey) I wish I cared
I wish I cared
(Hey)

A-ha - I Won’t Forget Her

I won't forget her
She was once my love

When I hold you in my arms
Oh yeah
You know I'll let you come to no harm
Oh yeah

But if one day
Much like today
You stop and wonder what I'd prefer
Well, you know I won't forget her

I won't forget her
She was once my love

Did you see it in my eyes
Oh yeah
Did it make you realise
Oh yeah

That one day
Much like today
My mind would wonder
If she's still there

Cause you know I won't forget her

I won't forget her
She was once my love

When I hold you in my arms
Oh yeah
She was once my love

I won't forget her
She was once my love

A-ha - I’ve Been Losing You

It wasn't the rain that washed away...
Rinsed out the colours of your eyes
Putting the gun down on the bedside table
I must have realized

It wasn't the rain
That made no difference
And I could have sworn it wasn't me
Yet I did it all so coldly
...almost slowly
Plain for all to see

Oh c'mon please now
Talk to me
Tell me; things I could find helpful
How can I stop now...
Is there nothing I can do
I have lost my way
I've been losing you

I can still hear our screams competing
You're hissing your s's like a snake
Now in the mirror stands
Half a man
I thought no one could break

It wasn't the rain
That made no difference
...nervously drumming on:Run away
But I want the guilt to get me
Thoughts to wreck me
Preying on my mind

So, please now
Talk to me
Tell me; things I could find helpful
For how can I stop now...
Is there nothing I can do
I have lost my way
I've been losing you

A-ha - Lifeline

A-Ha
Lifelines

One time to know that it's real
One time to know how it feels
That's all
One call - your voice on the phone
One place - a moment alone
That's all

What do you see?
What do you know?
What are the signs?
What do I do?
Just follow your lifelines through
What do you hate?
What do I do?
What do you say?
Don't throw your lifelines away
Don't throw your lifelines away

One time - just once in my life
One time- to know it can happen twice
One shot of a clear blue sky
One look - I see no reasons why you can't
One chance to be back
To the point where everything starts
Once chance to keep it together
Things fall apart
Once I make us believe it's true

What do we see?
Where do we go?
What are the signs?
How do we grow?
By letting your lifelines show
What if we do? What up to now?
What do you say?
How do I know?
Don't let your lifeline go
Don't let your lifeline go
Don't let your lifeline go
