Текст "Foot of the Mountain":

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 leave tonight

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

Текст песни:
In the Darkspace
when I close my eyes
I see your face shining
like the moon in the night
and I must tell you from my heart
I've been waiting my time
my love, all over the world

You're with me, with me, with me, with me
you're with me wherever I come
You're with me, with me, with me, with me
you're with me, you're with me, wherever I come

Like the moon you're on the back of
riding through the human race
crossing the rivers of memories
girl you've got sunshine on your face

You're with me, with me, with me, with me
you're with me wherever I come
You're with me, with me, with me, you're with me
you're with me, wherever I come

Time, time's like a slow rising wave
gathering, gathering up nights and days
and I feel, I feel I'm at the moment when it breaks
yes I feel, we're at the moment when it breaks

You're with me, with me, with me
you're with me, you're with me

I'd do you everynight.

Cause you're with me, with me, with me
you're with me, you're with me
and in our window there is light

Wherever I go.

And in our window there is light.

You're with me, with me, with me
you're with me, you're with me
wherever I go

With me. Wherever I come.

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 eve 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 were you're going
You can shout, you can scream
Your way through it...

Well time rushes an 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

Scoundrel Days
(Pal Waaktaar)

Outside on the pavement
The dark makes no noise
I can feel the sweat on my lips
Leaking into my mouth
I'm heading out for the steep hills
They're leaving me no choice

And see...as our lives are in the making
We believe through the lies and the hating
That love goes free

For want of an option
I run the wind 'round
I dream pictures of houses burning
Never knowing nothing else to do
With death comes the morning
Unannounced and new

Was it too much to ask for
To pull a little weight...
They forgive anything but greatness
These are scoundrel days
And I'm close to calling out their names
As pride hits my face

See...as our lives are in the making
We believe through their lies and the hating
That love goes free through scoundrel days

I reach the edge of town
I've got blood in my hair
Their hands touch my body
From everywhere
But I know that I've made it
As I run into the air

And see...as our lives are in the making
We believe through the lies and the hating
That love goes free
Through scoundrel days

(Morten Harket / Hevard Rem)

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

Cold As Stone

You're back again
You roam the streets
And crack again
You're back again

You're travel-worn
Standing here in the town
Where you were born
It's not your home

The mirror sees you
So alone
...Cold as stone - Yeah

You're not your own
You feel a chill
Go through your bones

You're not your own
There's something wrong
You call the doctor on a phone
He's not at home

So you leave a message
After the tone -
"I'm cold as stone"

Emerald green neon lights above
Sapphire red falls on you below
Cold as stone

Emerald green neon lights above
Sapphire reds fall on you below

You're back again
You send a curse out
In to the night
You're back again

You're travel-worn
Standing here
In the town you were born
It's not your home

The mirror sees you
So alone
...Cold as stone
Cold as stone

(Pal Waaktaar)

It's the way we feel
Tonight
As if it's all unreal
All right
My love, won't you come back to
Our love, you know I'll react to
The blood that moves my body
Now covers the ground
The blood that moves the body
The blood that moves the body
There's nowhere to go
Tonight
Lend some warmth to our cold
And lonely lives
Red stains on 'Eyes Of A Blue Dog'
My pains fade as the interiors fog
the blood that moves my body
Now colours the ground
The blood that moves the body
The blood that moves the body
Not long ago
It hurt us so
A tremble through our lives
The love and care...
The way we were
Lost its way at nights
It's the way we feel
Tonight
Lend some warmth to our cold
And lonely lives
My love, won't you come back to
Our love, you know we'll react to
The blood that moved our bodies
Now covers the ground...
Now covers the ground
The blood that moves the body
The blood that moves the body

Oranges on Apple Trees
(Words: Magne Furuholmen
Мusic: Magne Furuholmen /Morten Harket)

Oranges on apple trees
Bugs that mate with bumblebees
Oranges on apple trees
Water comes and water goes
Where it ends up no one really knows
Water rises, water falls
Where it comes from no one knows for sure
It seeps from every pore

We have seen the rain before
Not like this - It's flooding every shore
People come and people go
I can hear their laughter through the door
But no one's keeping score
Oranges on apple trees
Bugs that mate with bumblebees
One big happy family
Endless possibilities
(yeah and more)

Oranges and apple trees
I see your face in front of me
You believed what no one else could see
I feel it deep inside of me
Everything we love shall be renewed
And everyone will see
Oranges on apple trees (for sure)

I used to be the only one
Not now since you've come
You and I have seen the signs
That's why we're running blind
we're running blind

That's why Oranges on apple trees
Birds that mate with bumblebees
Endless possibilities (now)
Oranges on apple trees
All the things that we can see
Multigender wannabes
Oranges on apple trees
Birds that mate with bumblebees
One big happy family
Endless possibilities (yeah yeah yeah)
Oranges on apple trees (for sure)

Brodsky tune
(Words by Joseph Brodsky, chorus and music by Morten Harket)
From the poem "Bosnia Tune" by Joseph Brodsky

As you pour yourself a scotch
Crush a roach or check your watch
As your hands adjust your tie
people die

In the towns with funny names
Hit by bullets, caught in flames
By and large not knowing why
people die

And in small places you don't know of
Yet big for having no chance to scream
Or say good-bye
people die

Let me know

People die as you elect
New apostles of neglect, self restraint
Whereby people die
Too far off to practice love
For thy neighbour, brother Slav
Where your cherubs dread to fly
people die

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...

I never saw sunlight
Burn as bright
I never felt darkness
The way I feel it tonight

You say it's getting better
You say it's allright

But I never felt darkness
Like I feel it tonight
Little black heart

Raindrops on my window
I can't tell them apart
Like the few things forgiven
In my little black heart

You say it's getting better
We just never got it right

But I never felt darkness
The way I feel it tonight
Little black heart

Some day we will shine
Like the moon in the morning
Like the sun when it's dawning
Yes the sun when it's dawning
The sun

Some day we will shine
Like the moon in the morning
Like the sun when it's dawning
Yes the sun when it's dawning
The sun
Raindrops on my window
I can't tell them apart
Like a few things forgotten
And a few things ignored
You say it's getting better
You say it's allright

But I never felt darkness
The way I feel it tonight
Little black heart

My little black heart

Memorial Beach
(Pal Waaktaar)

I pace the length of my unmade room
In times of change
My bags are packed, guess I'm leaving the womb
Into the rain
We never found
A place to hide
Some peace of mind
God knows we tried

Toes in the sand, the seductive sway
Ooh...nothing better, babe
Across the bay--Sarasota Way
We held together

We never found
A place to hide
Some peace of mind
God knows we tried, yeah

So we walk down to Memorial Beach
Where things began
Honey days and nights without sleep
Lost in the sand

We never found a place to hide
Some peace of mind
God knows we tried, yeah

electrical_S (_A-HA_) все записи автора Slender Frame
(Pal Waaktaar/Magne Furuholmen)

Your coat is hanging loosely
On your slender frame
There's many roads to lave by
But few come back again
I don't believe it
I believe it

Take a look around and see
What's stopping you is stopping me
One moonless night and we'll make it right
And vanish in the dark of night

Pack up your things and go
Run down the road, don't take it slow
Pack up your things today and run away
Yeah, run away

You say it's useless crying
Never got you far
You claim there's none as lonely
Lonely as you are

I don't believe it
I believe it

Take a look around and see
What's breaking you is breaking me
One moonless night we'll make it right
And vanish in the dark of night

(Paul Waaktaar-Savoy)

Give it up for rock'n roll
Give it up for rock
Give it up for how it made you feel

Give it up for vinyl days
Kicking back from school
Turning out to make it real sweet

Give it up for rock'nroll
Give it up for bob
Give it up for how it made you see

Give it up for silvertone
Give it up for golden
Adolescent daydreams

Incidental incidents
Instrumental instruments
A plan evolves too grand to entertain

Monumental monuments
Sentimental sentiments
You could've been the keeper of the flame

Incidental incidents
Instrumental instruments
Swallowed by the place from which you came

Monumental monuments
Sentimental sentiments
You should've been the keeper of the flame

Give it up for summer days
Laying in the grass
Everything is happening in your head
You raise your fist up in the air
Clench your teeth and say
Four more years and I'm outa here

Give it up
Give it up
Give it up
Four more years and I am outa here!

East Of The Sun
(Pal Waaktaar)

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

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
