TAKE ON ME
Written by Pal Waaktaar/Mags/Morten Harket

We're talking away
I don't know what... I'm to say
I'll say it anyway... Today's another day to find U
Shying away... I'll be coming for your love, OK?

[Chorus:]
Take on me(Take me on)
Take me on(Take me on)
I'll be gone... In a day or two

So needless to say... I'm odds and ends
But that's me... Stumbling away
Slowly learning that life is OK!
Say after me... It's no better to be safe than sorry!

[Repeat Chorus]

Oh the things that U say... Is it live 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 U anyway!

[Repeat Chorus Till Fade]

TRAIN OF THOUGHT
Written by Pal Waaktaar

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

[Chorus:]
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, Yeah!

[Repeat Chorus]

And at heart he's full of strangers
Dodging on his train of thought
Train of thought!

HUNTING HIGH AND LOW
Written by Pal Waaktaar

Here I am and within the reach of my hands
She's sound asleep and she's sweeter now
Than the wildest dream... Could have seen her
And I Watch her slipping away

[Chorus:]
But I know I'll be hunting high and low... High!
There's no end to the lengths I'll go to
Hunting high and low, High!
There's no end to lengths I'll go

To find her again... Upon this my dreams are depending
Through the dark... I sense the pounding of her heart
Next to mine... She's the sweetest love I could find

[Repeat Chorus]
Do U know what it means to love?

I'm hunting high and low
And now she's telling me she's got to go away!
I'll always be hunting high and low
Hungry for U... Watching me tearing myself to pieces
Hunting high and low, High!
There's no end to the lengths I'll go to
Oh, For U I'll be hunting high and low

THE BLUE SKY
Written by Pal Waaktaar

Blue sky (Blue sky), Blue sky (Blue sky)
Blue sky (Blue sky), Blue sky!

I find it hard to breathe as life just eats away
At the faces that surround me... They look tired today
The lady at my table, Doesn't want me here
I just want to talk to her
But would she laugh at my accent and make fun of me
It doesn't seem like this... Blue sky's here for me

There are no girls in here as far as I can see
Only pin-up posters looking down at me
Watching papercups of coffee... Growing cold before my eyes
All the things I see that make me realize
I'm in this big world without U
Nothing to my name... I never knew that
Blue sky meant such pain

Blue sky (Blue sky), Blue sky (Blue sky)
Blue sky (Blue sky), Blue sky!

I'm dying to be different in the coffee shop
I've lived on borrowed strength... Now my supplies are cut
Though i'm older than my looks and older than my years
I'm too young to take on my deepest fears
Oh, I used to be confused but now I just don't know
Since U left I've been watching... Blue skies come and go
Since U left I've been watching... Blue skies!

LIVING A BOY'S ADVENTURE TALE
Written by Pal Waaktaar/Morten Harket

I've fixed my dwelling for the night
Lights in pairs come passing by where I hide
I need some time now on my own
Leave my loneliness alone... To lick my wounds
Night has found me just in time
To help me close my eyes one more time

Living a boy's adventure tale... In so many ways!
Living a boy's adventure tale... For so many days!
I'm living a boy's adventure tale... Can't escape, If I wanted to
Living a boy's adventure tale... I may be dreaming but I feel awake

I've been lost in so many places
Seeked love in so many faces
A change of weather the rain pours down
My head in hands pressed to the ground
And where am I supposed to go now?

Living a boy's adventure tale... In so many ways
Living a boy's adventure tale (Aah)
Living a boy's adventure tale... A voice I hear
Living a boy's adventure tale... Singing a lullaby for me

Living a boy's adventure tale... Because of U
Living a boy's adventure tale... Oh U know it's true!
Living a boy's adventure tale
In so many ways (Aah)... For so many days!
I love U... I love U... So many ways!
(Aah! Aah! Aah! Aah!)

THE SUN ALWAYS SHINES ON T.V.
Written by Pal Waaktaar

[Chorus:]
Touch me... How can it be
Believe me... The sun always shines on T.V
Hold me... Close to your heart
Touch me... And give all your love to me, To me!

Huh! I Reached inside myself and found nothing there
To ease the pressure off my ever worrying mind (Oh)
All my powers waste away... I fear the crazed and lonely looks
The mirror's sending me these Days(Oh)
[Repeat Chorus]

Please don't ask me to defend... The shameful lowlands
Of the way I'm drifting... Gloomily through time(Oh)
I reached inside myself today
Thinking there's got to be some way
To keep the troubles distant

[Repeat Chorus]

Hold me... Close to your heart
Touch me... And give all your love to me, To me!

AND U TELL ME
Written by Pal Waaktaar

Please don't hurt me... I have told U
All my love is all I've got and tomorrow is the day
When I... For your sake... I'm coming back
And U tell me... That I don't love U

Trying hard to make U jealous
Trying harder to make U stay
Days are longer... Nights are crazy
It's so strange when you're away
And U tell me... That I don't love U!

Because I love U... I will show U all the faces my love can hide
So please! Let me come to U and stay this time
And U tell me... That I don't love U
Oh U know that it's just not true!

LOVE IS REASON
Written by Pal Waaktaar and Mags

My breath was coming fast and as I make a start
U turn to go... Oh! Oh!
I'll do what U want me to...
I'll cry at the thought of the loss of a heart!
Love is reason! Love is reason!
Love is reason! Love is reason enough!

My morals are changing fast... I told U it wouldn't last
U turn and go... Oh! Oh!
I'll be what U want me to be
I'd die at the thought of the loss of your heart!
Love is reason! Love is reason!
Love is reason! Love is reason enough!
Oh love is reason now!

I'd die at the thought of the loss of your heart!
Love is reason! Love is reason!
Love is reason! Love(Love) is reason!
Love is reason! Love is reason enough!
Love is reason ! Love is reason enough!

I DREAM MYSELF ALIVE
Written by Pal Waaktaar

Dream myself alive... I dream myself alive!
But U can't deny there's something dark...
Against the light!
All I can say... It doesn't have to be this way!

We'll be chasing our tails madly
See days pass like wildfire
Right from the start
I knew this world would break my heart!

I dream myself alive!
Dream myself alive... I dream myself alive!
Break my heart and dream myself alive

What can it mean?
I'm drawing pictures of the sea
Right from the start
I knew this girl would break my heart!

Dream myself alive... Dream myself alive... I dream myself alive!
Dream myself alive... Dream myself alive... I dream myself alive!
Dream myself alive... I dream myself alive!
Dream myself alive... I dream myself alive!

HERE I STAND AND FACE THE RAIN
Written by Pal Waaktaar

Aaaah!
Help me! I need your love!
Don't walk away... The dark scares me so
We're nothing apart... Let's stay friends forever, Forever!

[Chorus:]
Here I stand and face the rain
I know that nothing's gonna be the same again
I fear for what tomorrow brings!

Trust me! For whom I am!
Place all your faith... Into these hands
I got nothing to say... But let's stay friends forever, Forever!

[Repeat Chorus]

Here I stand and face the rain
Knowing nothing's gonna be the same again!
Ahhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaa
Ahhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaa...
Here I stand and face the rain
Knowing nothing's gonna be the same again!
Ahhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaa
Ahhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaa...
