A-HA – You Wanted More

You know the way
You’ve been before
I’ve seen the signs
Outside your door
You set the rules
The bitter days
Can’t be ignored
It’s just the same
Just like before
You wanted more

I love the sun
I love the rain
You gave it up
But all in vain
I love the way
It was before
So bittersweet
To be adored
We had it all
You let it go
You wanted more

But in the end
What is a friend
If not some one
To help pretend
Remember me
You know my name
I’m still the same
But not for you
That’s not enough
You wanted more

I love the sun
I love the rain
You gave it up
But all in vain
You couldn’t change
You know the score
So bittersweet
To be adored
We had it all
You gave it up
You wanted more

But in the end
What is a friend…

You loved the way
It used to be
The way you are
You and me
You came too late
You left too soon
Just like the rings
Around the moon
We had it all
You let it go
You wanted more
We had it all
You gave it up
You wanted more

A-HA – You’ll Never Get Over Me

You say you want some fun
You’re not the only one
Not the only one

And you say you wanna run
You’re not the only one
Not the only one

You will never get over me
I’ll never got under you
Whenever our voices speak
It’s never our minds that meet

You say you want some
You’re not the only one
Not the only one

And you, you say you’ve come undone
You’re not the only one
Not the only one

You will never get over me
I’ll never got under you
Whenever our voices speak
It’s never our minds that meet

You’ll never get over me

A-HA – You’ll End Up Crying

You’ll end up crying
With your mother’s eyes
Pretend you can’t see yourself
Could have been better
Could have been worse
You could have been yourself

Brought up in mom’s arms
Nowhere to fall
Now you’re out climbing
Taking it all

You’ll end up crying
With your mother’s eyes
Suffer that moment’s pain
Could have done better
Could have done worse
Lost in your love for more

Now you’re out climbing
And you should know
You’ll end up crying
Wherever you may go

Brought up in mom’s arms
Nowhere to fall
Now you’re out climbing
Climbing to fall

You’ll end up crying
With your mother’s eyes
Something is lost from the start
Could have been better
Could have been worse
You’re going to need me there

A-HA – You Are The One

You are the one who has done me
Guess you knew from the start
I call again, but there’s no one in
Don’t know where, with whom you’ve
been

But I do
Love you
Anyway you want me to

You are the one…now the state I’m in!
Catching you was so hard
I fought for you, did you let me win!?
Don’t even care, don’t care
Where I’ve been

But I do
Love you
Anyway you want me to

I’ve done all I can do
All the letters…I’ve sent through
Put my life in the palms of your hands
Maybe now you can see
That it’s got to be me
But if you leave me
I’ll understand, yeah
If you leave me, I’ll understand

You are the one who has done me
Guess you knew from the start
I call your friends, but there’s no one
in
Catching you is so hard
You are the one!

Move things best removed

A-HA – White Dwarf

There’s a big, black picture and it’s hanging on the wall.
With stars and all the planets, the milky way and all.
And in the left hand corner, perhaps a small white dwarf,
Ready to explode, implode I really can’t recall

But it’s out there, and I’m down here.
And so far from it all

Everything’s expanding in a constant state of change.
Everything’s demanding in a constant state of pain.
You radiate away. Your last remaining heat
Your atmosphere has blown away when you admit defeat

But its out there (pal – don’t know where we are)
And I’m down here (pal – don’t know why we are)
And so far from it all

Your time, your grace, your story in place, your life-span erased

There’s a big, black picture and its hanging off your wall
The stars and all the planets, the milky way and all
And in the left hand corner, perhaps a small white dwarf,
Ready to explode, implode I really can’t recall.

But its out there (pal – don’t know where we are)
And I’m down here (pal-don’t know why we are)
And so far from it all.
But I’m out here (pal – don’t know where we are)
Down here (pal – don’t know why we are)
I’m so far from it all…

A-HA – White Canvas

Stories are painted
In lines on your face
Misunderstandings
And little mistakes
A chance to start over
Is all that it takes
You know if you do
Your life is a canvas
The colors are you

Follow me out
Follow me ’round
Let’s make the road up as we go along
Just as we planned
You want to believe it
You know that it’s true
Your life is a canvas
The colors are you

You cannot erase them
The words that were said
Just paint them over
Inside of your head
All that is needed
You know you must make
One leap of faith
Everything else will fall into place

Follow me out
Follow me ’round
Let’s make it up and go back
To where it began
All that is needed
Is one leap of faith
Everything else will fall into place

Anywhere you’ll ever go
Everyone you’ll ever know
You may never find it
Everyone you’ll ever see
Anyone you choose to be
How you look will decide
How you look will decide what you see

Follow the moon
Follow the sun
Let’s make a deal this time
To stay with the plan
All that is needed is one leap of faith
Everything else will fall into place
Everything else will fall into place

Stories are painted
In the lines of your face…

AIDEN – Bridge Of Reason, Shore Of Faith

The second before you die
must be filled with the fear of discontent now,
a flash of life and what
was worth everything you meant.
We’re all righteous, we’ve lost our faith, our faith
We’re all righteous and afraid,
We’re all righteous, we’ve lost our faith, our faith
We’re all righteous and afraid
A fine way to die, a fine way to die,
I have found the answers to my problems now
A fine way to die, a fine way to die,
I have found the answers to my problems now
1 – Discover the feeling
2 – Nail it down
3 – Find out the future
4 – Just don’t care anymore
Anymore
They will syphon us
will syphon out our lives again
They will syphon us
will syphon out our lives again, they will find
They will syphon us
will syphon out our lives again
We found the bridge of reason
we found the shore of faith
we found it’s just beneath our skin
and but it’s our own faith
We found the bridge of reason
we found the shore of faith
we found it’s just beneath our skin
and but it’s our own faith
Faith here we go, here we go, well it’s all washed
here we go, here we go, here we go, well it’s all washed up turned grey

A-HA – We’re Looking For The Whales

One left low left two who left high
They seem so hard to find
Three came twice took once the time
To search…
We’re looking for a little bewildered girl
We’re looking for a little bewildered girl
We’re looking for the whales

Restlessness is in our genes
Time won’t wear it off
Born into this world with our eyes
wide open

Girl
We’re looking for a little bewildered girl
We’re looking for a little bewildered girl
We’re looking for the whales

I found angels
Beached outside your doors
Don’t you set those lonely eyes on me
We’re looking for the whales
We’re looking for the whales…

A-HA – Waiting For Her

Waiting for her
That’s all I ever do
Waiting for her

So why didn’t I
Take the measures justified

Our love has always been the same
She comes, then goes away again
Oh yeah

She used to say
We never have the breaks we should’ve had
Coming our way

But why didn’t I take that time and put it right

Our love has always been the same
She leaves me standing out in the rain -
Oh yeah

Send her my love
She’s all I’m thinking of
Oh yeah
I’m telling you

And when she’s sleeping by my side
Eyes closed, all knowledge trapped inside
- Oh yeah

So why didn’t I
Take the measures justified
Send her my love
She’s all I’m thinking of :

Oh yeah
I’m telling you

A-HA – Velvet

Her skin is like velvet
Her face cut from stone
Her eyes when she’s smiling
Will never reach home
But hear how she sings

Her touch would be tender
Her lips would be warm
But when we’re together
I’m always alone
But hear how she sings
But hear how she sings
Hear how she sings

Her skin is like velvet
So I went to her home
Her place like a palace
With things you can’t own
Her skin is like velvet
And hear how she sings
Hear how she sings…

A-HA – Turn The Lights Down

Turn the lights on the night is too long
Keep yourself warm I’m coming home
I cannot help you, you yourself must see
Decide now on what you want to be
Turn the lights down
The lights are too strong
When you’re down and out just hold on
Realize that nothing lasts long
We must believe in things we cannot see
Everything’s alright with me
Turn the lights down
The lights are too strong
I’m coming home

I just want to sleep by your side
It makes me feel so alive
I just want to sleep for a while

Turn around the night is still young
Keep your lights on
I’m coming home
You must decide now where you want to be
You’re the one who said to me
Realize that nothing lasts long
I’m coming home
I just want to sleep by your side
It makes me feel so alive

So easy to look at the distance
Hard to be near when you care
Impossible now to go back to where we began

I just want to sleep by your side
It makes me feel so alive
I just want to sleep by your side
I just want to sleep through the night

A-HA – Train Of Thought

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

A-HA – Touchy!

Donna found us in her slow and dreamy way
I can’t hear a word the waiter says
She’s looking older now…
The color of her hair
She walks into the room and pleased to find me there

Me I’m touchy – Touchy you
Me I’m touchy
And you know what to do
Me I’m touchy
Touchy, touchy you
Me I’m touchy and you know what to do

Both of us together in a room by ourselves
I sneeze to look around, but there’s no escape
What can I do, what can I say
She’s waiting for this moment to explain itself

Me I’m touchy – Touchy you
Me I’m touchy
And you know what to do
Me I’m touchy
Touchy, touchy you
Touching love is the best I can do
Hey, this time you’ve gone too far
You know how touchy we are

Donna found me in her slow and dreamy way
Now she reads me what the papers say
The way she laughs at what I do
I’m waiting for this moment to explain itself through

A-HA – To Let You Win

You know I always had the strength to fight
But I got tired of the wars at night
Thinking they would end if I gave in
But I wasn’t strong enough

..To let you win
..To let you win
..Let you win

I knew the fight but I didn’t know the cost
And how to stop the wheels when they’re in spin
I thought you couldn’t love a man who’d lost
No, I wasn’t strong enough

..To let you win
..Let you win

It used to scare me to wake up wondering
If I’d forgotten what I was fighting for
You know that you said that you were weak and I was strong
Well, I wasn’t strong enough

..To let you win
..To let you win
..Let you win
..To let you win

You know I always had the strength to fight
But I got tired of the wars at night
Thinking they would end if I gave in
But I wasn’t strong enough

..To let you win
..To let you win

A-HA – Time And Again

The sun brought me
The moon caught me
The wind fought me
The rain got me
The road sent me
For years bent me
The stars overwhelmed me
Time and again

But now I can’t see the stars
The star is a thing I can’t see
And now I don’t feel the same
To feel is a thing I can’t be

Earth crushed me
Fame brushed me
The streets hushed me
As life touched me
Time placed me
Events dazed me
Love saved me
Now and again

But now there can be no love
Love is a thing I can’t be
And there can be no trust
Trust is a thing I can’t see
But now there can be no love
Love is a thing that can’t be
Now I can’t be so strong
Strong is a thing I can’t be
Time and again
Time and again

The sun brought me…

A-HA – This Alone Is Love

This alone is love
No small thing
This alone is love
That my love brings

And all of us
Who are travelling by trap-doors
Our souls are a myriad of wars
And I’m losing everyone

It will make my last breath pass out at dawn
It will make my body dissolve out in the blue
Oh baby, what can we do.

A-HA – The Weight Of The Wind

Your face looked new against the town
You’ve come to lose some memories
Like you came to touch new grounds

But you want to lose
The weight of the wind
Rests hard on your shoulders
It’s bringing you down
The one that you love
Will never be found

You speak into the falling rain
Words you’d lost, but found again
I see their snakey arms entwined
So clear and cruel
In your jealous mind

But you’ve got to lose
The weight of the wind
Hard on your shoulders
Getting you down
The one that you love
Will never be found

A-HA – The Way We Talk

Sometimes the way we talk isn’t all that good
We can’t change though we know we should

Baby, these fights we have aren’t always fair
Was this problem always there

If I could, I’d change, I swear
I I could, I would, I swear

A-HA – The Swing Of Things

You say the world’s an eventful place
You give me news
I don’t want to know
You say that I should care
That I should speak my mind

Oh, but how can I speak of the world
Rushing by
With a lump in my throat
And tears in my eyes
Oh, have we come to the point of no turning back
Or is it still time to get into
The swing of things

Let us walk through this windless city
I’ll go on till the winter gets me
Oh, “sleep…” you wrote “sleep, my dear”
In a letter somewhere

Oh, but how can I sleep with your
voice in my head
With an ocean between us
And room in my bed
Oh, have I come to the point where I’m losing the grip
Or is it still time to get into
The swing of things

Oh, when she glows in the dark
And I’m weak by the sight
Of this breathtaking beauty
In which I can hide
Oh, there’s a worldful out there
Of people I fear
But given time I’ll get into
The swing of things

Yes, when she glows in the dark and
I’m struck by the sight
I know that I’ll need this for the rest of my life

What have I done
What lies I have told
I’ve played games with the ones that
rescued my soul
Oh, have I come to the point where I’m losing the grip
Or is it still time to get into
The swing of things
