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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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

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
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
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
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
