"Cast In Steel" (2015)




Cast In Steel lyrics - A-ha

Meet me at the turnaround
Stop your car and look around
There I will be waiting
Forget for once how everything

Fades
It fades away

I’ll never get over what we said
It lingers in my head
I’ll always remember what we knew
One hundred percent to be true

To be right
To be real
Set in stone
And cast in steel

We made a pact
Eye to eye
Cross your heart
And hope to die

Can you see the end of things?
Can you see it happening?
Feel the ashes on the wind
Don’t you hate how everything

Falls
Just falls away

I’ll never get over what we said
It lingers in my head
I’ll always remember what we knew
One hundred percent to be true

To be right
To be real
Set in stone
And cast in steel

We made a pact
Eye to eye
Cross your heart
And hope to die

It lingers in my head
I’ll always remember what we knew
One hundred percent to be true

Set in stone
And cast in steel
To be right and
To be real
Set in stone
And cast in steel

Under The Makeup lyrics - A-ha

This is how it ends
Each on our own
Unless we pretend
Meanwhile our hearts turn to stone
Shaped by wind
Boulders slowly molded over time
Here within

I, I want to see you
Under the makeup
Let all the worry
Vanish away
I want to hold you
Like it’s the first time
Like you were still mine

If you wanted out
Didn’t I let you go
If you wanted in
Didn’t I make it so
It could be
Tenderness escapes so easily

I, I want to see you
Under the makeup
Let all the worry
Vanish away
I want to hold you
Like it’s the first time
Like you were still mine

I, I want to see you
Under the makeup
Let all the worry
Vanish away
I want to touch you
Like it’s the first time
Like you were still mine

I, I want to see you
Under the makeup...

The Wake lyrics - A-ha

Can't change the one you are
Can't change the one you love
Lower your guard
I've made a few mistakes
I'll tell you what it takes
Under the stars

Have you seen the other me at times?
Walking on an ever looser line

Baby this is a wake
You and I will not escape
As time goes by

The world's never been older
Your head on my shoulder
So close your eyes

Stung by normality
Wronged by your family
Conventions aside

Cannot change the one you love
From inside – or from above
Just hold him tight

Walking on an ever looser line
But love has let me over every time

Baby we're on a wake
You and I will not escape
Just close your eyes

The world's never been older
Your head on my shoulder
As time goes by

Baby this is a wake
None of us will escape
Who we are

The world's never been older
Your head on my shoulder
As time goes by

Forest Fire lyrics - A-ha

Goes around
Comes around
It doesn't really matter, yeah
Something wrong
A false alarm
Doesn't ring that true

Watch it flare up
Where do we begin

We are flames in the forest fire
Dancing from within
That's where we begin
We take you far and wide
And like always
Leave a silver lining scar

The stores in town
Are closing down
And everything's in ruin
Borderline
Just turn around
Out of every ditch, a path

Watch it flare up
Time to reign it in
So let's begin

We are flames in the forest fire
Rising from within
That's where we begin
And we fuel desire
And like always
Leave a silver lining scar

Objects In The Mirror lyrics - A-ha

You drive down your old street
Familiar smiles from those you meet
You’ve been around been everywhere
But objects in the rear view mirror
Are closer than they appear

Looking back is bittersweet
When the world was at your feet
Love would make your life complete
No one makes it on their own

You’ve come so far
In your comfortable car
Now objects in the rear view mirror
Seem closer than they are

Looking back is bittersweet
All the world was at your feet
Love could make your life complete
Yeah, love could make your life complete
Teach your heart to skip a beat
Lift your eyes above the street
This is where you once belonged

Come on now, its not so bad
Thinking back on the fund we had
We can stitch a life together
With the fibres of the past
But you cannot make a fleeting moment
Promise it will last

Looking back is bittersweet
Love the world was at your feet
Lift your eyes above the street
This is where you once belonged

Been everywhere
And now you’re here
And objects in the rear view mirror
Seem to disappear

Door Ajar lyrics - A-ha

Door Ajar
Door Ajar
Door Ajar

I hit my head on the pillow, hard
I heard a noise from the boulevard
And it made me go down
I left the door to my room ajar
Felt the rumble of the street-car
And it spiralled me down

If you could see me
Swallowed by darkness
What would it matter
Would it awaken
Feelings forsaken
Faded and scattered
Would you come running
If you could hear me
Some way or another
That’s what I’m thinking
Watching the stars reflect in the gutter
Door Ajar
Door Ajar

I hit my heard on the pillow, hard
I took the words that you said to heart
And it made me feel down
When I awoke it was dark outside
Just a flicker from a traffic light
And it signalled me down

If you could see me
Swallowed in darkness
What would it matter
Would it awaken
Feelings forsaken
Faded and scattered
Would you come running
If you could hear me
Some way or another
That’s what I’m thinking
Watching the stars reflect in the gutter
Door Ajar
Door Ajar
Door Ajar
Door Ajar
Door Ajar

Living At The End Of The World lyrics- A-ha

Sometimes it leaves me with fear
Never saw the horizon this near
Look to the left then to the right
I tuck you in and kiss you goodnight

See there is something I know
We are not whom we’re told
We are more than we’ll never know

And we’re living at the end of the world
Forget about all that you’ve heard
Living our dreams on the highway
It’s just another day
No matter what they say or you’ve heard
We’re living on top of the world
We’re living our dreams on the highway
No matter what they say
It’s just another day

I hear your heart beat in the night
You are like an echo of light
But in times when shallow runs deep
Your golden beauty goes cheap
Still there is something I know
Something yet to unfold
And we are more than we’ll never know

And we’re living at the end of the world
Forget about all that you’ve heard
Living our dreams on the highway
It’s just another day
No matter what they say or you’ve heard
We’ve made it to the top of the world
Building up speed on the highway
We’ve made it to the end
Living at the end of the world

Forget about all that you’ve heard
No matter what they say or you’ve heard
We’ve made it to the top of the world
Building up speed on the highway
We’ve made it to the end of the world

Mythomania lyrics - A-ha

You walked a mile on broken glass
Through glowing coals you were a path

The words on your tongue a mechanical song
Your face is lined with disappointment

Oh white matter mind, what have you got to say?
Reasons combine to force you away

You’re moving on
You solved the problem
And who can’t blame you
You’re safe in here
Inside your castle
In mythomania, mythomania

Cold crescent moon on a red cross
Its happening soon ti’s coming for us

Oh white matter mind, what is there left to say?
Reasons combined to force you away

No telephone
No television
No news that drain you
You’re safer here
More atmosphere
In mythomania, in mythomania, mythomania

You caught belief
Like some disease
No words can save you
Cuz you’re all along
You’re on your own
In mythomania

She's Humming A Tune lyrics - A-ha

She’s humming a tune
To keep herself from thinking
About all that she’s facing
But her mind is racing
Over and over again

And I don’t suppose she knows
Everything that’s bound to happen
How and where the story goes
And I don’t why I care
She’s up tight, not right
How could it matter to me

She’s humming a tune
To keep herself from straying
When everything’s swaying
And decisions are weighing
Ever so hard on her mind

And I don’t suppose she knows
Everything that’s bound to happen
How and where the story goes
And I don’t know if it just
I’m bummed out, no doubt
What does it matter to me

She’s up tight, not right
How could it matter to me

And I don’t suppose she knows

She’s up tight, not right
How could it matter to me

Shadow Endeavors lyrics - A-ha

Why breathe a word
When no one needs to know
Why say a thing
To another living soul

Let us pay no mind
To a world that seems unkind
For here is something to shelter
Now more than ever

Shadow endeavours
Our shadow endeavours
Shadow endeavours
Shadow endeavours
Shadow endeavours
Shadow endeavours

Why leave us open
And naked to the sun
Why draw their fire
That they’ll surely reign upon us

Let us pay no mind
To their words and bitter lines
For here’s something to shelter
And now more than ever

Shadow endeavours
These shadow endeavours
Shadow endeavours
Shadow endeavours
Shadow endeavours
More than ever
Shadow endeavours

Only ever happened to me once
It doesn’t come again
I think somebody left me here
Afraid and lonely
A long time ago

Only ever happened to me once
It doesn’t come again
I think somebody left me here
Afraid and lonely
A long time ago

Giving Up The Ghost - A-ha

Icy road, blinding dark
Rolling hills in the distance
Open wound, a painful scar
Love has left its burning trademark
Off the grid, out of bounds
Further down into shadow
Darkest day and whitest night
In harm's way
We're chasing rainbows

Giving up the ghost
Giving up the ghost
That's what hurts the most

You sever all my heads
You place them on your bed
Some part of your great scheme
To vow me into silence

Giving up the ghost
Giving up the ghost
That's what hurt the most

Frozen lake soon will flow
Frozen ground soon to follow
But hey - everything is in your head
And what you killed is never dead

Giving up the ghost
Giving up the ghost
On what you loved the most

On a coal-black sea, the sky's on fire
Failed attempts at a funeral pyre
Deep as dreams of dark desire
The flames are growing ever higher

You sever all my heads
You place them on your bed
Some part of your great scheme
To vow me into silence

Giving up the ghost
Giving up the ghost
That's what hurt the most

Goodbye Thompson lyrics - A-ha

Goodbye Thompson goodbye
I tape the sign to the door
Here we pinned all our dreams
Now the store is no more

What comes after what was
That was once strangely new
What awaits up ahead
For me and you?

Goodbye Thompson
Goodbye Thompson
Goodbye Thompson
Goodbye Thompson Goodbye
Goodbye Thompson Goodbye

Goodbye Thompson Goodbye
This space is for rent
See me head hanging low
All my energies spent

What comes after what was
That was once strangely new
What awaits up ahead
I wish I knew

Goodbye Thompson
Goodbye Thompson
Goodbye Thompson
Goodbye Thompson Goodbye
Goodbye Thompson Goodbye

What comes after what was
That was once strangely new
What awaits up ahead
For me and you

Goodbye Thompson
Goodbye Thompson
Goodbye Thompson
Goodbye Thompson
Goodbye Thompson

The End Of The Affair lyrics - A-ha

Even as the snow is falling
Dark December nights are calling
Memories of early warning signs
Like a whisper in the mind
I put my brave face on
Robbed of the love I owned

It’s the end of the affair
We are not who we once were

Hard to be open when all facts are in
Hard to write endings before we begin

It’s the end of the affair
And it seems we no longer care

Absence makes the heart grow fonder
Well I was fond but now I’m harder
So here we are in somber silence
With no one else but us to blame

Hard to be honest when others pretend
Hard to begin when we already know the end

It’s the end of the affair
And it seems we no longer care

"Foot Of The Mountain" (2009)




The Bandstand lyrics - A-ha

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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


































Stop! And Make Your Mind Up lyrics - A-HA

We have no help
You know that
All by ourselves
We have come this far

Now stop and make your mind up about me
Stop and make your mind up about me, baby
Stop and make your mind up about me, yeah
Stop and make your mind up

Beer goes to my head
I want you
Come back to bed
We have come this far

Now stop and make your mind up about me
Stop and make your mind up about me, baby
Stop and make your mind up about me, yeah
Stop and make your mind up

Yeah, I want you near me
So stop ! and make your mind up about me, baby
Stop and make your mind up about me, yeah
Stop and make your mind up about me, baby, Oh baby
Stop and make your mind up about me, baby.

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.

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

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

Nothing To It lyrics - A-ha

It's gone two o'clock
According to my watch
You take your time
Well, take your time but don't take mine

Because I need some help to get a start
My pencil's sharp
My papers see
Go down a mark

Calm down, relax a bit
You've got to get on top of it
A-ha, nothing to it
Calm down, relax a bit
You've got to get on top of it
A-ha, nothing to it
Nothing to it all

I'm a dim, I'm a dumb
I'm just as numb
As a kid can be
A kid can be, as a kid like me

It's gone three o'clock
Hurry up, hurry up
You still have time
The end of term is all that is on your mind

Calm down, relax a bit
You've got to get on top of it
A-ha, nothing to it
Calm down, relax a bit
You've got to get on top of it
A-ha, nothing to it
Nothing to it all
Nothing to it all

Calm down, relax a bit
You've got to get on top of it
A-ha, nothing to it
Calm down, relax a bit
You've got to get on top of it
A-ha, nothing to it
Nothing to it all

Calm down, relax a bit
You've got to get on top of it
A-ha, you can do it
Calm down, relax a bit
You've got to get on top of it
A-ha, you can do it
Calm down, relax a bit
You've got to get on top of it
A-ha, you can do it
You can do it all
You're free tonight

Go To Sleep lyrics - A-HA

So please
Please let me come to you
And stay this time

Go to sleep
Go to sleep
Go to sleep
There was a time
When I could kiss
Kiss you goodnight
It will come again
In your sleep

Go to sleep
Look for a dream
Soft as your skin
The night is here now
Hide out in your dreams
Sweetest love of mine
You can sleep
Go to sleep

Shh

Monday Mourning lyrics - A-HA

Monday mourning
Tears are falling
Down like fluid pain
And it's a long
Lost Monday morning

The telling words
I like to learn
Are dying on your lips
As the morning
Through my fingers slips

I find myself in times like this
Quite amazed
How eager everything is to go wrong
Around me

Monday mourning
Tries to wound me
Eyes look hurt again
For have I asked
And will never ask again
For I have asked
I will never ask again

All The Planes That Come In On The Quiet lyrics - A-HA

The planes and old airport
A long life
Short of great events
It seems like all the planes that come in on the quiet
Along the coast catch a glimpse of the world
Live and grow older

The planes are going south
A good mind
Strong and little used
It seems like all the planes that come in on the quiet
Along the coast catch a glimpse of the world
Live and grow older

Don't move the tears into my life
Somebody's out here, it's hard to describe
Do you know why?

The planes and old airport
A long life
Short of great events
It seems like all the planes that come in on the quiet
Along the coast catch a glimpse of the world
Live and grow older

Don't move the tears into my life
I find it hard, so hard to believe
Beauty of life

Oh, the planes that come in on the quiet

Never Never lyrics - A-HA

Come the winter, falling snow
I could swear I'll make this promise hold

I won't give you shadows
Never, never
I won't give you shadows

See me standing on a bridge in white
I watch the water being scenes by ice
Now I swear to make these words sound right

I won't give you shadows
Never, never
I won't give you shadows

And my love is all that matters
And my love is all I see
Hold me me and give all your love
Touch me and give all your love to me
Hold me me and give all your love
Touch me and give all your love to me

I won't give you shadows
Never, never
I won't give you shadows
Never, never
I won't give you shadows
Never, never
I won't give you shadows
Never, never

I swear to you I'll make this promise hold

What's That You're Doing To Yourself lyrics - A-HA

What's that you're doing to yourself in the pouring rain?
What's all the notches? Would you care to explain?
You're soaking so you're making makeup is coming down
What's that you're doing to yourself in the rain?

What's that you're saying to yourself in the pouring rain?
Speak up please, I really can't hear a word you're saying
Looks to me that you've been thrown in at the deep end
I'd lend a hand but I hate getting wet

Still you're all in one wet piece
Blame it all on some coincidence
Now you put your face to bed
Down comes life and knocks your head

Still you're all in one wet piece
Blame it all on some coincidence
The rain has put your face to bed
Down comes life and knocks you dead

You Have Grown Thoughtful Again lyrics - A-ha

Hah, yeah
Carrumba

I fail to understand you
I don't know if you are lonely or just con me
And I don't see how you can say
That friends are few and far between
So tell me who you've seen

You have grown thoughtful again
I can't say I like it
You have grown thoughtful again
Not you

I'm shaken and in two minds
You say things that are not the way I say they are
And you don't see how I can say it
Friends are few and far between
And tell me where you've been

You have grown thoughtful again
I can't say I like it
You have grown thoughtful again
Mum? Can't say I like it

You have grown thoughtful again
I can't say I like it
You have grown thoughtful again

Lesson One lyrics - A-ha

Come on say after me
I'm happy, happy as can be
Hip, hip hooray
Slowly learning that life is okay
Say after me
I ain't no better to be safe than sorry

So here's a kid lesson, my number one
All's good that starts well and moves with the sun

So needless to say
I'm odds and ends
I'm me, oh
Today is another day to find you
Anchors away
I'll be coming for your love, okay

So here's a kid lesson, my number one
All's good that starts well and moves with the sun
So here's a kid lesson, my number one
All's good that starts well and moves with the sun

Say after me
I'm happy, happy as can be
Hip, hip hooray
Slowly learning that life is okay
I know that life's okay
I know that life's all good
I know that life can be wrong
A-ha
I know it's meant to be good

So here's a kid lesson, my number one
All's good that starts well and moves with the sun
So here's a kid lesson, my only one

Presenting Lily Mars lyrics - A-ha

Presenting Lily Mars
Tap dancer, a soon-to-be star
She'll beat your heart so fast
Spotlight's on Lily tonight

She's on Channel One's late night show
She's watching people come and go
Producer says, "You've got it made, girl"
And when she's lying sleepless in his arms
The frost paints roses on poor Lily's window pane

Presenting Lily's mum
She still lives on in Lily's mind
Stopped ageing years ago
Now she's gone but left her dreams in Lily's eyes
Lily's wondering if mummy's watching her tonight

"Good morning," says father Mars
Presenting a salesman's cheerful face
His mouth is never shut
As he strides from door to door to door to door
Watch his face as he puts his foot in my door

Presenting Lily Mars
She's sensing moons and stars
The pills that Doc subscribed
Will keep the sleepless, dreamless nights away
Oh, poor Lily, now you're sleeping day by day
By day by day by day by day
Bye, bye

Poor Lily, mummy's watching you tonight

Take On Me lyrics - A-ha

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 on me),
Take me on (take on me)
I'll be gone
In a day or two

So needless to say
I'm odds and ends
But I'm 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 on me),
Take me on (take on me)
I'll be gone
In a day or two

Oh, things that you say, yeah—
Is it life or just to 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 on me),
Take me on (take on me)
I'll be gone
In a day

Take on me (take on me),
Take me on (take on me)
I'll be gone
In a day

Case Closed On Silver Shore lyrics - A-HA


Here's a stain on the ottoman
Here's a slug in the plaster wall
Here's a glass with a fingerprint
Left out in the entrance hall
Left out in the hallway

Case closed on silver shore
Can't prove a thing
Case closed on silver shore
Can't prove a thing

Here's a room showing signs of struggle
Here's a tear in the victim's shirt
Here's a plate with a chalky substance
Like a footprint in the dirt
Left out in on the driveway

Case closed on silver shore
Can't prove a thing
Case closed on silver shore
Can't prove a thing

I wouldn't put it past the neighbor
I wouldn't put it past the maid
I wouldn't put it past the boyfriend
Yeah he'd do it in a jealous rage

Case closed on silver shore
Can't prove a thing
Case closed on silver shore
The boyfriend won’t sing

Case closed on silver shore
Can't make it stick
Case closed on silver shore
He's getting off quick

Case closed on silver shore
On silver shore
Can't make it stick

Case closed on silver shore
On silver shore
He's getting off quick

Minor Key Sonata lyrics - A-HA

Come back, my darling one
I'm calling on you
The road ahead is long
And I must warn you
Take hold, my little one

My minor key sonata
Show forth your looping grace
No one here can take your place
We’ll find a way
To make it pay
To get around it
Come back, my fallen son

Don't let them fool you
Cos when the day is done
They never move you
Lay down your sense of pride
Trampled once too often
Put out your mournful tones
No one here can take your place

We’ll find a way
To do OK
To get around it

Come back, my analogue
I hardly knew ya
The high end sloping off
A thing of beauty
Take hold, my little ones
My minor key sonatas

Show forth your looping grace
No one here can take your place
We’ll make it pay
We’ll find a way
To do without it
Say

You’ll find a way
We’ll make it pay
To get around it

Show
Just what you know
Just let it go
To get around it
