STAY ON THESE ROADS
Written by Morten Harket/Mags/Pal Waaktaar

The cold has a voice... It talks to me
Stillborn, By choice
It airs no need to hold

Oh old man feels the cold
Oh baby don't... 'Cause I've been told...
Stay on these roads
We shall meet, I know!
Stay on... My love!
We shall meet, I know... I know!

Where join should reign... These skies restrain
“Shadow your love...” The voice trails off again
The voice trails off again

Oh old man feels the cold
Oh baby don't... 'Cause I've been told...
Stay on these roads
We shall meet, I know!
Stay on... My love
U feel so weak... Be strong!
Stay on... Stay on...
We shall meet, I know... I know!
I know my love, I know!

Feel the cold... Winter’s calling at my home
Stay on these roads... We shall meet, I know!
Stay on my love... We will meet!
I know! So stay oooon... I know!
Stay my love... Stay on!
We will meet, I know... I know!
 My love I know!

THE BLOOD THAT MOVES THE BODY
Written by Pal Waaktaar

It's the way we feel... Tonight!
As if it's all unreal... Alright?!
My love, Won't U come back to
Our love, U 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 bod)

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 colors the... Ground!
(The blood that moves the body)
(The blood that moves the bod)

[Chorus:]
Not long ago... It hurt us so
A tremble through our lives
The love and care... The way we were
now lost its way at nights

It's the way we feel... Tonight! Um yeah!
Ahhh (The blood that moves the body)
(The blood that moves the body)

[Repeat Chorus]

It's the way we feel... Tonight!
Lend some warmth to our cold and lonely lives!
My love... Won't U come back to
Our love... U know I'll react to
The blood that moved our bodies now covers the ground...
The ground... Covers the ground!

Ah! Covers the ground (The blood that moves the body)
Covers the ground (The blood that moves the body)
Covers the ground (The blood that moves the body)
(The blood that moves the body)

TOUCHY!
Written by Morten Harket/Mags/Pal Waaktaar

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

[Chorus:]
Me I'm touchy  - Touch U
Me I'm touchy and U know what to do!
Me I'm touchy
Touch... Touch U

Me I'm touchy and U 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

[Repeat Chorus]
Touching love is the best I do

[2nd Chorus]
Hey, This time you've gone too far... U know how touchy we are
Hey, This time you've gone too far (Come on, Come on)
(Don’t U know I’m touchy) U 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

[Repeat Chorus]
Touching love is the best I can do

[Repeat 2nd Chorus]
O yeah! O yeah, Yeah! Yeah!

[Repeat 2nd Chorus]
Yeah yeah! (Yeah!) Yeah yeah! (Yeah!)
Yeah yeah! (Yeah!)

[Repeat Chorus]

(Come on, Come on) Touchy – Touch U
Touchy - The best I can do

THIS ALONE IS LOVE
Written by Mags/Pal Waaktaar

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!

[Chorus:]
It will make my last breath pass out at dawn... At dawn! (At dawn)
It will make my body dissolve out in the blue... Blue for U!

Oh baby, What can we do?

Hmm...
[Repeat from the Top]
[Repeat Chorus]
It will make my body dissolve out in the blue... Blue for U!
Oh baby, What can we do?

[Repeat Chorus Twice]

Oh baby, What can we do?

HURRY HOME
Written by Mags/Pal Waaktaar

Hurry home... Freight train running
I'll be gone... Too long Honey
Why did I waste away the only good thing left to save me
Hurry home... Freight train running!

She's alone... Got no money!
(She's alone...she got no money)
(I'm coming home, I've done my running)
I'm coming home... No more running
Why now should I deny the only true thing left inside me
Coming home... No more running!

[Chorus:]
I'm doing right... O for once in my life now
I'm doing right (Doing right!)... Hey for once in my life now
No more running...  (He's doing right!)
No more running... (He’s doing right!)
I’m Doing right! No more running... (He’s doing right, He’s doing right)
No more running (He’s doing right)
Oo I, No more running!

(Rolling countries... fields unfolding... I swear the winds are calling!)
(Rolling countries... fields unfolding... I swear the winds are calling!)

So I hurry home... No more running
She's all alone... Got no money
(She's alone... She got no money)
(Coming home, I've done my running)
Why should I go and hide the only true thing left inside me
(Hurry home) Hurry home... Freight train running!

[Repeat Chorus]
[Adlib to fade]

THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS
Written by John Barry/Pal Waaktaar

Hey driver! Where we going? I swear my nerves are showing
Set your hopes up way too high, The living’s in the way we die!
Comes the morning and the head lights fade away
Hundred thousand people... I’m the one they blamed
I’ve been waiting long for one of us to say...
“Save the darkness... Let it never fade away”

[Chorus:]
Ooooo the living daylights!
Ooooo the living daylights!
(The living daylights)

Alright hold on tighter  now... It’s down... Down to the wire
Set your hopes up way to high, The living’s in the way we die!
Comes the morning and the headlights fade in rain
Hundred thousand changes... Everything’s the same
I’ve been waiting long for one of us to say... Yeah
“Save the darkness... Let it never fade away”

[Repeat Chorus]

Ooooo the living daylights (Daylights)
The rain...
Comes the morning and headlights fade away
Hundred thousand people, I’m the one they framed

[Repeat Chorus]

Set your hopes up way to high... The living’s in the way we die!
[Repeat till fade]

THERE'S NEVER A FOREVER THING
Written by Pal Waaktaar

Dearest... Close your eyes now
Don't U cry! It's alright!
Lie back... Leave the lights on!
It's alright!
I'll be here through the night
With U till the first signs of light
Say the word and I'll come tonight!

It's all right now! Don't U cry!
Hush... Wipe your tears away
There's never a forever thing!

All through the night
I'll try so hard to be there somehow
With U till the first signs of light
Say the word and I'll come tonight!

Darling, Don't U cry!

OUT OF BLUE COMES GREEN
Written by Pal Waaktaar

Father... My wings are clipped
See the steps that made me trip
Now I'm so lonely
Mother... Time's frozen flame
Seem to linger in the rain
Holding me only

Like a river I'm flowing and there's no way of knowing
If I'm coming or going... I need something to chain me down!

[Chorus:]
Don't matter!
My eyes have seen...
For better... Out of blue comes green!

Mother... I have gone wrong
Work my fingers to the bone
All I've been doing
Father... Proud that I am
To be born into such hands
Your love so renewing

And I know I can lose it
Part of life... U can't choose it
As I touched the horizon
It just felt like I'd die soon

[Repeat Chorus]

And like a river I'm flowing... I need something to chain me down!
Don't matter!
And now I've seen...
For better... Out of blue comes green!
Don’t matter... Out of blue comes green!

U ARE THE ONE
Written by Mags/Pal Waaktaar

U are the one who has done me in
Guess U 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 U... Anyway U want me to!

And U are the one... Now the state I'm in!
Catching U was so hard
I fought for U... Did U let me win!?
U don't even care, U don't care where I've been!
But I do love U... Anyway U want me to!

U are the one!

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 U can see... That it's got to be me!
But if U leave me
I'll understand, Yeah!
If U leave me, I'll understand!

But U are the one who has done me in
Guess U knew from the start
I call your friends but there's no one in
Catching U is so hard!
U are the one! U are the one! U are the one!
U! U are the one! U are the one!

YOU'LL END UP CRYING
Written by Pal Waaktaar

You'll end up crying with your mother's eyes
Pretend U can't see yourself
Could have been better! Could have been worse!
U 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 U should know
You'll end up crying... Wherever U 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
