Listen boy you met your match
I've closed my heart,
secured the latch
I'll keep it locked
should you decide it's time
To help me swallow foolish pride
And to take me
for yet another ride

Into that carousel
you climbed
Without a word
you leave me there
Just hanging in the air

Then you send me flowers
Your flesh is willing,
Your mind is weak,
these flowers speak

Send more bouquets
Now wan't you try to
change your ways
And you send me flowers
Your way of winning
time and favour
Hope I'll waiver

Send more bouquets
Wan't you try
to change your ways

Listen
I'll disprove your hunch
that sending flowers by the bunch
Is gonna help you win me back
this time

Not every door that sorrow closes
Can be open by your roses
Or let their fragrance cloud
my mind

You must learn that tender care
Means all in a love affair

Words yet unspoken
Some promise unbroken
These are the tokens I cling to

Kisses ungiven
Dreams yet unlived in
These are the gifts I can bring you
Can bring to you ... so tell me

Who goes there
Step out of the night and just show me you care
Take these gifts that I bear ... and I will know
Love is here
Who goes there
Do you come as a friend or a foe ... and if so
Should I stay ... should I go
I need to know
I need to know

Tantos caminhos
Sempre a seu lado
Fomos deixando pra tras

O amor sozinho
Foi se perdendo
Agora e tarde demais
Demais
Pra voltar

Who goes there
Step out of the night and just show me you care
Take these gifts that I bear ... and I will know
Love is here
Who goes there
Nao sei pra voce o que sou
se acabou ... and if so
Should I stay ... should I go
Eu preciso saber
I need to know

When Judy falls
The word goes out to
One and all
When Judy falls
The whole world seems
To heed her haunting call

And when she falls
It marks the start
Of Spring
The air is filled with bird-song
And Nature sings along
When Judy falls

When Judy falls
Her hopes are oh so high
She's walking tall
And when she falls
She's hoping she's the apple of some eye

But if she falls... in vain
We'll surely hear... the sound
Of hopes that start to crumble
And silent birds that tumble
To the ground

Love is always new
When Judy makes the rules and breaks them too
Love is never old
She doesn't wait around till hearts grow cold
She believes in weaving dreams
And nothings ever what it seems
When Judy falls
Oh when Judy falls

But if she falls... in vain
We'll surely hear... the sound
Of hopes that start to crumble
And silent birds that tumble
To the ground

A door left ajar lets whispering from afar breath life into... a dream of me and you I will the spark to die But still it lights my eye Still makes me feel that this alone is real And though I know it I dare not show it or let this madness makes a kill By dwelling on what might have been Or giving sadness space to fill I'll balance on the edge a while but won't fall in I'll retrace every step I’ve ever run or crept Hoping I will see what is bleeding me And when I know it I won't show it... or let this madness make a kill By dwelling on what might have been Or giving sadness space to fill I'll balance on the edge a while but won't fall in (간주) And though I know it I dare not show it or let this madness makes a kill By dwelling on what might have been Or giving sadness space to fill I'll balance on the edge a while but won't fall in

Welcome to the wastelands
I guess you saw the sign
Saying... plots of land to let
Where all those broken hearts can pine

A place where no-one says that you
Must get back in the game
But let you take your own sweet time
And you just let them do the same

All who walk the wastelands
Feel they're branded someone's fool
All who walk the wastelands
are hurting bad but won't let sadness rule

The landscape is forbidding
The trees are hung with dew
But no-one ever comes to visit here
For the climate or to see the view

The wastelands must stay barren
So hearts can freely sow
The seed that thrives on all their bitterness
Well-knowing it won't ever grow

All who walk the wastelands
Feel they're branded someone's fool
All who walk the wastelands
Know that Love can be so cruel
All who walk the wastelands
Are still missing what they had
All who walk the wastelands
Are hurting bad but won't let sadness rule

Unbreakable heart play your part
In the scheming I have done
Not to fall for anyone
Or let love start

Unbreakable heart it's an art
You will master by and by
'Til then just be my
Unbreakable heart

You may get swept away
Like other fragile hearts
But don't you ever say
Love's breaking me apart

Unbreakable heart don't depart
From the pact that we have made
Love is forsakeable
My unbreakable heart

Unbreakable heart play your part
In the scheming I have done
Not to fall for anyone
Or let love start

Unbreakable heart it's an art
You will master by and by
'Til then just be my
Unbreakable heart

You may get swept away
Like other fragile hearts
But don't you ever say
Love's breaking me apart

Unbreakable heart don't depart
From the pact that we have made
Love is forsakeable
My unbreakable heart

Unbreakable heart play your part
In the scheming I have done
Not to fall for anyone
Or let love start

Unbreakable heart it's an art
You will master by and by
'Til then just be my
Unbreakable heart

You may get swept away
Like other fragile hearts
But don't you ever say
Love's breaking me apart

Unbreakable heart don't depart

My unbreakable heart

Unbreakable heart play your part

Or let love start

Unbreakable heart it's an art

Like other fragile hearts
But don't you ever say

Love is forsakeable
My unbreakable heart

Here we are, out of cigarettes
Holding hands and yawning
Look how late it gets.
Two Sleepy People
By dawn's early light,
And too much in love
To say, 'Good night.'
Here we are, in the cozy chair
Pickin' on a wishbone
From the Frigidaire,
Two Sleepy People
With nothing to say,
And too much in love to break away.
Do you remember
The nights we used to linger in the hall?
Your father didn't like me at all.
Do you remember
The reason why we married in the fall?
To rent this little nest
And get a bit of rest, well.
Here we are
Just about the same
Foggy little fella,
Drowsy little dame.
Two Sleepy People
With nothing to say
And too much in love to break away.

A little piece of you The little peace in me Will die For this is not americaBlossom fails to bloom This season Promise not to stare Too long For this is not a miracleThere was a time A storm that blew so pure For this could be the biggest sky And I could have The faintest idea For this is not america ShararararaThis is not America now Snowman melting From the inside Falcon spirals To the ground So bloody red Tomorrows cloudsA little piece of you The little piece in me Will die For this is not americaThere was a time A wind that blew so young For this could be the biggest sky And I could have the faintest idea For this is not america Shalalalala

A little piece of you
The little peace in me
Will die
For this is not americaBlossom
fails to bloom
This season
Promise not to stare
Too long
For this is not a miracleThere was a time
A storm that blew so pure
For this could be the biggest sky
And I could have
The faintest idea
For this is not america
ShararararaThis is not America now
Snowman melting
From the inside
Falcon spirals
To the ground
So bloody red
Tomorrows cloudsA little piece of you
The little piece in me
Will die
For this is not americaThere was a time
A wind that blew so young
For this could be the biggest sky
And I could have the faintest idea
For this is not america

There's trouble brewing
Leave what you're doing and
Step out of line
No point in keeping
Watch if you're sleeping
Half of the time
Check out the crummy lines you've been saying
You're not in some second-rate soap

There's trouble brewing
Leave what you're doing and
It just might pay
There's no denying
Always complying
Isn't the way
Ditch all the empty games you've been playing

Ain't life a ball
You came for the ride
And end up just learning to crawl

Slipping and sliding
Is better than hiding
Heads deep in sand
Cut out the sighing
See what you're buying
It's in your hands
Think of the bitter price you keep paying

Ain't life a ball
You came for the ride
And end up just learning to crawl

There's trouble brewing
Leave what you're doing and
It just might pay
There's no denying
Always complying
Isn't the way
Ditch all the empty games you've been playing

Ain't life a ball
You came for the ride
Ain't life a ball
You came for the ride
And end up just learning to crawl

Never been one for devil-may-care
Painting the town or letting down hair
Oh so wary of building on dreams
Afraid to discover all's not what it seems

There's always a first time
How do I know for sure
Now it's not mine
Tell me how I know
It's safe to just let go
Show me some sign

There's always a first time
How do I know that you are the right one
Show me how to loose
These nagging doubts and choose, not run

Let me then awake to find
I've left all caution far behind in the past
Let my heart be fit to burst
With a longing unrehearsed
Let it last

There's always a first time
Let it be now, and you
Be that someone
Who can help me leave
In the hands of fate
What we've begun

Strike up the band let it play
Love songs to haunt me and I will stay
But when it comes to a waltz
Both words and music will ring false
For you waltzed in and spun my world
Around in dizzy dance I swirled
But suddenly you waltzed away from me

Those violins, they must go
So no careless hand with a bow
May play on the strings of my heart
And make me remember how lovers part

How you waltzed in and spun my world
Around in dizzy dance I swirled
But suddenly you waltzed away from me

Strike up the band let it play
Whatever it chooses and I will say
Play me a waltz if you will
I'll sit here and listen waiting until

My love returns to take my world
And spin it 'round in dizzy swirl
Where girl loves boy and boy loves girl
And feet don't touch the ground

They won't ever find us here
Believe me... that's the truth now
It's not that hard to disappear
You've just got to know how
His eyes meet hers and he sees how she's
Busy fighting back the tears

We'll be just fine... you wait and see
He hopes his words will calm her
From here on in it's you and me
He'll let no-body harm her
Her hands in his on the table-top
Trying to make the shaking stop

How I wonder whose they are
Those lives we can only watch from afar
How I wish that we could show
That we can care and long to know
How it goes... that we could see
Beyond the way things seem to be
The way they seem to be

They pay and leave... the bus is due
The night is growing colder
He says this coat's just made for you
And slips it 'round her shoulders
They climb aboard and become to us
Just to faces on a bus

How I wonder whose they are
Those lives we can only watch from afar
How I wish that we could show
That we can care and long to know
How it goes... that we could see
Beyond the way things seem to be
The way they seem to be...

Lead mte to the sand and sea
Sit a while beside me... and I won't mind
Wait until the tide has turned
To see what's left behind

Then I'll search for things to save
Wake me if I'm dreaming
And if all I've planned starts
streaming through my fingers
Out of hand... grains of sand

Let the woman I'll become
Dare to walk the shoreline...
and to ride the wave
Let the ocean show its might
But leave me feeling brave

When all else is washed from sight
Wake me if I'm dreaming
And if all I've planned starts
streaming through my fingers
Out of hand... grains of sand

Never let me hide away
In caves and shun the light of day
Let the waters gently steer
Me to my moorings far from fear
so I might come to comb this beach
Seeing what my eye can reach
And knowing that a heart can open here...
open here

Lead me to the sand and sea
Sit a while beside me... and I won't mind
Wait until the tide has turned
To see what's left behind

Take a long, long walk
Off a short, short pier
When you're wading ashore
See if I'm waiting here

Take a long, long walk
In the pouring rain
You know a soaking or two
Works a treat on the brain

You caught me on a hopeless day
It's no one's fault but I just have to say
I must have been insane or half asleep
It turns out your promises weren't made to keep

You came and saw and conquered me
But let me give you some advice for free
The time has come tar you to take a walk
If I'm still here when you get back we'll talk

Take a long. long walk etc.

When the goings heavy
And words they just ain't getting through
The choices ain't so many
So you just do what you must do

A stroll would do the world of good
You might just see our love the way you should
There is no hurry but if you're quick
You'll he hack to see my vanishing trick

Take a long, long walk etc.

It's as plain as the nose on your face
Nowbody can deny
That sorrow must find it's rigthful place
But why am I so sorry for your love

I could write you a book on regret
None of it would apply
The answers would all be there and yet
Not why I am so sorry for your love

I need hardly mention
The very best intentions
Pave the road to you know where
Downhill from the start
It would grieve my caring heart
To know that it has sown despair

I would give my whole world to return
Be at the start knowing why
It had to end this way
And maybe learn day by day
Just why I am so sorry for your love

I need hardly mention

And maybe learn day by day
Just why I am so sorry for your love

Shame On You
by Silje Nergaard



It doesnt really matter
Where you're comming from
Is no concern no mind
Where you are bound

Your move from a to b
Is basic drama tree
The shortest line is me

Spare your lang details
Of pain and misery
Or how you once were lost
But now are found

I wasn't certain
Just remember
Who from who
Between two points in time

---reprise---

Shame on you
Expecting me to go
Along with all you do

Shame on you
You'll play a game of hide and seek
With somebody new

-------------

And just another
Poor of color along the way
Another land and place
But that's alright

Let's forget the whys
And wheres, fors and get on
With saying no goodbyes

---reprise---

Watch my lips hear
What they're saying
I will spell it up

Keep those mind games
You love playing
They're not what i'm about

---reprise---

How come these precious things were made to seem remote
How come the words I weighed were forced back down my throat
There was no room for honesty
No quarter that was mine
No noble cause
I tried fake a life
To fool those snapping jaws

From here I dare to launch my flimsy paper boats
I shove each gently from the shore but guard it where it floats
They must not drift too far from me
I still sense danger and
They are too frail
In time they'll catch the wind
And fly with billowed sail

Once I held a moon, a lover's gift
If memory serves me right
Once I owned a sky where moons could drift
And bathe my world in light
I held onto to that moon as long as he was there
Just holding me
But it means nothing to moons you see

Once I held a moon, a lover's [?]
was not his to give
This is life he said, enjoy
But it wasn't mine to live
I let the moon slips through my finger
And my love let go of me
But it means nothing to moons you see

They sail through the night and you follow
You hitch up your heart
To that moon like a cart
It's all [?] you know how
You're faced with your pride but can't swallow
You lift up your spoon
And you howl at the moon that it shouldn't have shone
and that you are not [?] as gone

Once I held a moon
And by its light I loved
And he loved me
But it means nothing to moons you see

Once I held a moon
Once I held a moon

Once I held a moon, a lover's gift
If memory serves me right
Once I owned a sky where moons could drift
And bathe my world in light
I held onto to that moon as long as he was there
Just holding me
But it means nothing to moons you see

Once I held a moon, a lover's [?]
was not his to give
This is life he said, enjoy
But it wasn't mine to live
I let the moon slips through my finger
And my love let go of me
But it means nothing to moons you see

They sail through the night and you follow
You hitch up your heart
To that moon like a cart
It's all [?] you know how
You're faced with your pride but can't swallow
You lift up your spoon
And you howl at the moon that it shouldn't have shone
and that you are not [?] as gone

Once I held a moon
And by its light I loved
And he loved me
But it means nothing to moons you see

Once I held a moon
Once I held a moon
