"Vi kunne aldri drømt om dette

som drømmene mens de sov har drømt

for oss -"

Ole Sverre Olsen is a Norwegian contemporary poet and writer. He was born in Arendal in 1961. His first book is a collection of poems with the title "Til søvenes arbeidere" (1996). He has now published his first novel, "Den døde mannen". You can find one of his poems in particular in Morten Harket's album "Wild seed". Ole Sverre wrote also with Morten the lyrics of "Jungle of beliefs". Will the collaboration go on in the future? We really hope so! By the way, his first novel is dedicated to Håvard Rem, Morten Harket and Ingrid Elin Dalberg.

Half in love and half in hate

(Words: O.S.Olsen/ Music: M. Harket)

Half in love and half in hate

Someone told me it is late

Late on earth he said, maybe

Late in you

And late in me

Darker than it has to be

Tell me just another lie

Now we're woven under ice

Tell me that there is no other

I am a child

Be my mother

If you lie, babe

If you bother

Since you raise that wall around you

Since I lost you

I have found you strange

And I could swear for sure

Haven't seen that girl before

Half in love and half at war

Hey, you're looking strange

And everything you do

Girl, it seems arranged

Dark words drift away

I have nothing more to say

Soon the moon will rise

And in this stormy night

I have to see your face

See the lines that make you old

Stony silence, touched by gold

Everything's too late

Too late for love, and suddendly

Too late for hate

There's only one thing left to do

I have to face this other you

Jungle of beliefs
(Morten Harket / Ole Sverre Olsen

)

"What a wonderful world, it seems
and our keel is running deep
we`ve got wine from the great market place
we can walk in our sleep, yeah
do you know now the gold is coming cheap
what to loose, and what to keep

you know our hearts could come closer, baby
but our heads got in the way
just like stones in the middle of the stream
let it mean just what it means
do we know our positions
do we know how to keep
and how to let go?

you can drown in that ocean, girl
you can swim in that sea
you can ride, you can dance along the brim
you can plunge so deep within
looking down into a jungle of beliefs
look at you, look at me

what a wonderful world, it seems
and our keel is running deep
we`ve got wine from the great market place
we can walk in our sleep, yeah
do you know now the gold is coming cheap
what to loose, and what to keep"

Thanx to Jakob Sekse!

Tought that it was you (from "Minor Earth Major Sky")

(Morten Harket / Ole Sverre Olsen)

I thought that it was you

The things you saw me do

They were true

Little did I know

You found me in your joy

And there was I, a little boy

My shadows they're not new

My soul's split in two

Lord, I thought that it was you

This Christmas snow that falls

Gives silence to us all

You know my deepest sin

You've seen me deep within

So fill me now like wind

And let the miracle begin

There's a river and you know

Thre's a place we used to go

That's were I throw our ashes now

I must have walked into a cave

Among these things thta you must save

And then I touched the grave

You know my deepest sin

You've seen me deep within

So fill me now like wind

And let the miracle begin

Sometimes I felt so sure

When I opened up your doors

That there'd been no one there before
