You stand in the doorway
A block up the street
Ringing the doorbell
There’s tapping of feet
High yellow hair
And a worn brown suit...
Enter, and break the news
Now tell me the story
I give it the time
No need to worry
Everything’s fine
I’ll take you away
From the name-calling scene
Sure... you can bring your magazine
Cold and windblown on the old bandstand
You and I walking hand in hand
A neon-glow shining
Down on us
Don’t wait up for us
Don’t wait up for us
Now tell me the story
I’ll give it the time
When you stop looking
Then you will find
I’ll take you away
From this name-calling scene
Just bring your magazine
Cold and windblown on the old bandstand
You and I walking hand in hand
A neon-glow shining
Down on us
Don’t wait up for us
Don’t wait up for us
Riding The Crest lyrics - A-ha
You search your mind
That’s what it’s there for
Check all the whys’
And all the wherefores’
In your mind
You’re tall and brave
Riding the crest
Of a high and beautiful wave
You make your movements known
And where you want to be
And everybody knows
That’s how it’s got to be
In the sheltered morning sun
In the sheltered morning sun
Internally
You make your own rules
You’ll have excuses
The ones that you choose
In the end
You deem unsafe;
Riding the crest
Of a high and beautiful wave
You make your movements known...
There comes a time
You don’t even know what’s missing
Some sugar to make the pill go down
You need a line
A push in the right direction
The sugar that makes the pill go down
True
True to form
True to pre-existing norms
Truly wasted
At a rave
Riding the crest
Of a high and beautiful wave
That’s what it’s there for
Check all the whys’
And all the wherefores’
In your mind
You’re tall and brave
Riding the crest
Of a high and beautiful wave
You make your movements known
And where you want to be
And everybody knows
That’s how it’s got to be
In the sheltered morning sun
In the sheltered morning sun
Internally
You make your own rules
You’ll have excuses
The ones that you choose
In the end
You deem unsafe;
Riding the crest
Of a high and beautiful wave
You make your movements known...
There comes a time
You don’t even know what’s missing
Some sugar to make the pill go down
You need a line
A push in the right direction
The sugar that makes the pill go down
True
True to form
True to pre-existing norms
Truly wasted
At a rave
Riding the crest
Of a high and beautiful wave
What There Is lyrics - A-ha
Empty glass
Gets another round
Squeaky chair
Makes another sound
There is a gentle breeze
Playing in your hair
Come take a bow
While you’re still
All there
It’s what it is
It’s what it was
It’s what it will be here
After us
There is no memory
There’s no recall
No recollections
At all
Your dark glasses
Sliding down your nose
Now bring these proceedings
To a close
It’s what there is
It’s what there was
It’s what will be here
After us
Your dark glasses
Sliding down your nose
Now bring these proceedings
To a close
You can make it all worthwhile
You can lend yourself some style
You can give them all the reasons
Al the facts that you have seasoned
You can hear them hoot and holler
As you come across a scholar
You can set your name in lights
You can make two wrongs a right
Gets another round
Squeaky chair
Makes another sound
There is a gentle breeze
Playing in your hair
Come take a bow
While you’re still
All there
It’s what it is
It’s what it was
It’s what it will be here
After us
There is no memory
There’s no recall
No recollections
At all
Your dark glasses
Sliding down your nose
Now bring these proceedings
To a close
It’s what there is
It’s what there was
It’s what will be here
After us
Your dark glasses
Sliding down your nose
Now bring these proceedings
To a close
You can make it all worthwhile
You can lend yourself some style
You can give them all the reasons
Al the facts that you have seasoned
You can hear them hoot and holler
As you come across a scholar
You can set your name in lights
You can make two wrongs a right
Foot Of The Mountain lyrics - A-ha
Keep your clever lines
Hold your easy rhymes
Silence everything
Silence always wins
It’s a perfect alibi
There’s no need to analyze
It will be all right
Through the longest night
Just silence everything
But we could live by the foot of the mountain
We could clear us a yard in the back
Build a home by the foot of the mountain
We could stay there and never come back
Learn from my mistake
Leave what others take
Speak when spoken to
And do what others do
Silence always wins
So silence everything
It will be all right
In the morning light
Just silence everything
But we could live by the foot of the mountain
We could clear us a yard in the back
Build a home by the foot of the mountain
We could stay there and never come back
We could stay there and never come back
We could live together
But we could live by the foot of the mountain
We could make us a white picket fence
Build a home by the foot of the mountain
we could stay there and see how it ends
We could stay there and see how it ends
Hold your easy rhymes
Silence everything
Silence always wins
It’s a perfect alibi
There’s no need to analyze
It will be all right
Through the longest night
Just silence everything
But we could live by the foot of the mountain
We could clear us a yard in the back
Build a home by the foot of the mountain
We could stay there and never come back
Learn from my mistake
Leave what others take
Speak when spoken to
And do what others do
Silence always wins
So silence everything
It will be all right
In the morning light
Just silence everything
But we could live by the foot of the mountain
We could clear us a yard in the back
Build a home by the foot of the mountain
We could stay there and never come back
We could stay there and never come back
We could live together
But we could live by the foot of the mountain
We could make us a white picket fence
Build a home by the foot of the mountain
we could stay there and see how it ends
We could stay there and see how it ends
Real Meaning lyrics - A-ha
Don’t change me
I’m gonna break if you try
Don’t change you
You know the tears
I’m gonna cry
And I sure will
Miss us when we’re gone
You’re the real meaning of the sun
It shows you off to everyone
You’re the real meaning of the sun
It shows you off to everyone
The real meaning
I want the real meaning
Don’t fix me
It breaks my heart
To see you try
Don’t fix you
And leave me for
Some other guy
And I sure will
Miss us when we’re done
You’re the real meaning of the sun
It shows you off to everyone
You’re the real meaning of the sun
It shows you off to everyone
When I’m thinking about you fondly
Then I’m thinking about the only
Real meaning of the sun
You’re the real meaning of the sun
It shows you off to everyone
You’re the real meaning of the stars
They guide me to the places you are
The real meaning
I want the real meaning
I’m gonna break if you try
Don’t change you
You know the tears
I’m gonna cry
And I sure will
Miss us when we’re gone
You’re the real meaning of the sun
It shows you off to everyone
You’re the real meaning of the sun
It shows you off to everyone
The real meaning
I want the real meaning
Don’t fix me
It breaks my heart
To see you try
Don’t fix you
And leave me for
Some other guy
And I sure will
Miss us when we’re done
You’re the real meaning of the sun
It shows you off to everyone
You’re the real meaning of the sun
It shows you off to everyone
When I’m thinking about you fondly
Then I’m thinking about the only
Real meaning of the sun
You’re the real meaning of the sun
It shows you off to everyone
You’re the real meaning of the stars
They guide me to the places you are
The real meaning
I want the real meaning
Shadowside lyrics - A-ha
The shadowside
You say I have
Is making everything
Go bad
You say I don’t
Care enough
For all the things that
I have got
But I do
And I will
I don’t want to see myself descend
Into the shadowside again
If you ever let me go again,
In the shadowside I’ll end
The shadowside
Where I go
I’m never where
I’m needed so
You say I don’t
Give enough
That I don’t care for
All I’ve got
But I do
And I will
I don’t want to see myself descend
Into the shadowside again
If you’re letting go of me again,
In the shadowside I’ll end
You say I have
Is making everything
Go bad
You say I don’t
Care enough
For all the things that
I have got
But I do
And I will
I don’t want to see myself descend
Into the shadowside again
If you ever let me go again,
In the shadowside I’ll end
The shadowside
Where I go
I’m never where
I’m needed so
You say I don’t
Give enough
That I don’t care for
All I’ve got
But I do
And I will
I don’t want to see myself descend
Into the shadowside again
If you’re letting go of me again,
In the shadowside I’ll end
Nothing Is Keeping You Here lyrics - A-ha
The lights change on the hill
The air seems strangely still
Everyone’s asleep
The floorboards creak at dawn
As you walk out on the lawn
The grass is wet beneath
You think it rather strange
You think it rather weird
It’s fair to say that
Nothing is keeping you here
Nothing is keeping you here
Nothing is keeping you here
The phone is off the hook
As you sink into a book
You don’t know where you are
From the world; detached
Unto a girl you latched
It never got too far
And everybody talks
And everybody stares
It’s safe to say that
Nothing is keeping you here
Nothing is keeping you here
Nothing is keeping you here
And everybody’s dawn
And everybody cares
You knew your day to shine
Would come without you here
Come without you here...
Nothing was keeping you here
Nothing is keeping you here
The air seems strangely still
Everyone’s asleep
The floorboards creak at dawn
As you walk out on the lawn
The grass is wet beneath
You think it rather strange
You think it rather weird
It’s fair to say that
Nothing is keeping you here
Nothing is keeping you here
Nothing is keeping you here
The phone is off the hook
As you sink into a book
You don’t know where you are
From the world; detached
Unto a girl you latched
It never got too far
And everybody talks
And everybody stares
It’s safe to say that
Nothing is keeping you here
Nothing is keeping you here
Nothing is keeping you here
And everybody’s dawn
And everybody cares
You knew your day to shine
Would come without you here
Come without you here...
Nothing was keeping you here
Nothing is keeping you here
Mother Nature Goes To Heaven lyrics - A-ha
Wrong
You never got it wrong
You always got it right
But now some time has passed;
You’re ever so slightly off
Thing you could do asleep
In a not too distant past,
Are trying your patience
Harder now
And though
Everything moves along
You hope the rumour’s wrong
That Mother Nature
Goes to heaven
Right
You never got it wrong
It always got away
When you had it nailed
It was ever so slightly off
Sending you somewhere else
Than where you had to be
Making it that much
Harder now
And though
You’re struggling to get on track
It pales somewhat to the fact
That Mother Nature goes to heaven
And there will be no sadder day
When all the birds
Have flown away
You never got it wrong
You always got it right
But now some time has passed;
You’re ever so slightly off
Thing you could do asleep
In a not too distant past,
Are trying your patience
Harder now
And though
Everything moves along
You hope the rumour’s wrong
That Mother Nature
Goes to heaven
Right
You never got it wrong
It always got away
When you had it nailed
It was ever so slightly off
Sending you somewhere else
Than where you had to be
Making it that much
Harder now
And though
You’re struggling to get on track
It pales somewhat to the fact
That Mother Nature goes to heaven
And there will be no sadder day
When all the birds
Have flown away
Sunny Mystery lyrics - a-ha
You can run through every forest
You can sail in the seven seas
You can climb the highest mountain
To try and dissolve these memories
In case you never knew it
You can’t undo it
You can jump off the edge of the world
Hide out in some monastery
Lose your mind in meditation
And never put your mind at ease
You think you’re running to it
But you are wading through it
A sunny mystery
Life is the dream that you wake up to
Dreams are the life from which you wake
Everybody makes the extra effort
Never knowing what to do
But you know the answer
Yeah, you know the score
It feels just like before
It’s a sunny mystery
That’s how it’s got to be
Because no one knows for sure
The outcome of this
Sunny mystery
You can sail in the seven seas
You can climb the highest mountain
To try and dissolve these memories
In case you never knew it
You can’t undo it
You can jump off the edge of the world
Hide out in some monastery
Lose your mind in meditation
And never put your mind at ease
You think you’re running to it
But you are wading through it
A sunny mystery
Life is the dream that you wake up to
Dreams are the life from which you wake
Everybody makes the extra effort
Never knowing what to do
But you know the answer
Yeah, you know the score
It feels just like before
It’s a sunny mystery
That’s how it’s got to be
Because no one knows for sure
The outcome of this
Sunny mystery
Start The Simulator lyrics - A-ha
Start the simulator
Controllers, listen up
What’s your status, Guidance?
Let’s take it from the top
Coming up on docking
The beginnings of a tear
Clearing the tower
We take the air
Start the simulator
Give your tanks a stir
The bright ejecta blanket
All is still a blur
Switch to Omni Bravo
B bus under volt
Roll right to zero
Steady as she goes
We’re going to fly so high
Into the rendered sky
We’re going to be all right
Inside the endless night
Start the simulator
I.S.O. valves are gray
EDS to manual
Translation looks okay
Save it for the splash-down
Things you want undone
You’re in command now
Your home away from home
You’re in control now
Now you’re on your own
Controllers, listen up
What’s your status, Guidance?
Let’s take it from the top
Coming up on docking
The beginnings of a tear
Clearing the tower
We take the air
Start the simulator
Give your tanks a stir
The bright ejecta blanket
All is still a blur
Switch to Omni Bravo
B bus under volt
Roll right to zero
Steady as she goes
We’re going to fly so high
Into the rendered sky
We’re going to be all right
Inside the endless night
Start the simulator
I.S.O. valves are gray
EDS to manual
Translation looks okay
Save it for the splash-down
Things you want undone
You’re in command now
Your home away from home
You’re in control now
Now you’re on your own
Days On End lyrics - a-ha
Do know why winter's such a cold and lonely place?
If you do, breathe it in to my bleached faces
Falling far, the sheets of my bed disappear
I hear the clock, strikes up prettily at the hours
I wear the path deeper following you
Girl, I knew comes tired home from another working day
Cooks a meal, puts the stove on and sees the snow
Falling far, a white painted sky drifting by
And here I come in through the door
I say hello and very little more
Did she love me any more?
Do you know why winter's such a cold and lonely place?
I'm laughing at the weather
I'm sure it reminded me of something
It took me years and years to forget
Do you love me any more?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YHLaxcqAcwQ
If you do, breathe it in to my bleached faces

Falling far, a white painted sky drifting by
And here I come in through the door

Driftwood lyrics - A-HA
Oh come pity me, a poor mad sailor
Stranded on this love
Here I lie like driftwood, honey
Is this what I've become
I go high over, down under
At a lady's will, under you
At a lady's will
I'm drifting still
I'm drifting still
So I ask in fading innocence
And all my full rage
Will your hands still touch me
When my face has fallen in with age
I go high over, down under
At a lady's will, under you
High over, down under
At a lady's will, under you
At a lady's will
I'm drifting still
I'm drifting still
High over, down under
At a lady's will
High over, down under
At a lady's will.
Stranded on this love
Here I lie like driftwood, honey
Is this what I've become
I go high over, down under
At a lady's will, under you
At a lady's will
I'm drifting still
I'm drifting still
So I ask in fading innocence
And all my full rage
Will your hands still touch me
When my face has fallen in with age
I go high over, down under
At a lady's will, under you
High over, down under
At a lady's will, under you
At a lady's will
I'm drifting still
I'm drifting still
High over, down under
At a lady's will
High over, down under
At a lady's will.
Dot The I lyrics - A-HA
Dot the I
Stretch your lips and smile
Let the world run by
Be the fool
Tomorrow morning's here
And I'm all nonsense, dear
I see, I know, I hear you say
Come near, come close to me
Love happened to happen to me
Dot the I
Trust your kite to fly
I could lend you mine
Spot the gag
Tick it, tock it, light a fag
Pass it on to me
I see, I know, I hear you say
Come near, come close to me
Love happened to happen, you see
I see, I know, I hear you say
Come near, come close to me
Love happened to happen to me
I see, I know, I hear you say
Come near, come close to me
Love happened to happen, you see
I see, I know, I hear you say
Come near, come close to me
Love happened to happen to me
Dot the I
Count to three and sigh
I need you to dot the I
Stretch your lips and smile
Let the world run by
Be the fool
Tomorrow morning's here
And I'm all nonsense, dear
I see, I know, I hear you say
Come near, come close to me
Love happened to happen to me
Dot the I
Trust your kite to fly
I could lend you mine
Spot the gag
Tick it, tock it, light a fag
Pass it on to me
I see, I know, I hear you say
Come near, come close to me
Love happened to happen, you see
I see, I know, I hear you say
Come near, come close to me
Love happened to happen to me
I see, I know, I hear you say
Come near, come close to me
Love happened to happen, you see
I see, I know, I hear you say
Come near, come close to me
Love happened to happen to me
Dot the I
Count to three and sigh
I need you to dot the I
The Love Goodbye lyrics - A-HA
Once a girl
In mommy's world
Laughing, rhyming, singing songs
In her newly learnt tongue
Now a girl
In this world
Married to a stranger's name
Writing to him all the same
And, oh, but
Where can she go
If she's going alone?
Where can she go
If she's going alone?
Where can she go
To avoid the love goodbye?
All the same
Letters answer letters in a round about way
"Sweet darling" they commence
But she no longer feels that way
Oh, there's not a soul
In the streets below
She's sitting by the window
Clinging to the phone
Dialing endless numbers
No reply
Love goodbye
Where can she go
If she's going alone?
Where can she go
If she's going?
Where can she go
If she's going alone?
She's going alone
She's going alone
In mommy's world
Laughing, rhyming, singing songs
In her newly learnt tongue
Now a girl
In this world
Married to a stranger's name
Writing to him all the same
And, oh, but
Where can she go
If she's going alone?
Where can she go
If she's going alone?
Where can she go
To avoid the love goodbye?
All the same
Letters answer letters in a round about way
"Sweet darling" they commence
But she no longer feels that way
Oh, there's not a soul
In the streets below
She's sitting by the window
Clinging to the phone
Dialing endless numbers
No reply
Love goodbye
Where can she go
If she's going alone?
Where can she go
If she's going?
Where can she go
If she's going alone?
She's going alone
She's going alone
