A-HA (Headlines & Deadlines)
TAKE ON ME
Talking away
I don't know what I'm to say
I'll say it anyway
today's another day to find you
Shying away
I'll be coming for you love O.K.
Take on me
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 O.K.
Say after me
It's no better to be safe than sorry.
Take on me
Take me on
I'll be gone
in a day or two.
The things that you say
Is it live or just to play
My worries away
You're all the things I've got to remember
You shying away
I'll be coming for you anyway
Take on me
Take me on
I'll be gone
in a day or two
CRY WOLF
Night I left the city,
I dreamt of a wolf..."
He came from where the winds are cold
and truth is seen through keyholes
...strange longings never sleep
Now he's come where no hearts beat
Cry wolf
time to worry
Cry wolf
You can start, but you cannot stop
You give in, but you can't give up
You can tell all you desperate jokes
to a world that puts
love on hold
Cry wolf
time to worry
Cry wolf
...the sunken-in eyes
And the pain in his cries
A shape in the dark...
Cry wolf
time to worry
Cry wolf
TOUCHY
Donna found us in her slow and dreamy way
I can't hear a word the waiter says
She's looking older now, the color of her hair
She walks into the room too pleased to find me there.
(Chorus)
Me I'm touchy
Touchy you
Me I'm touchy
And you know what to do
Me I'm touchy
Touchy, touchy you
Me I'm touchy and you 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 iteself.
Repeat Chorus...
Hey, this time you've gone too far
You 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
Me I'm touchy..
YOU ARE THE ONE
You are the one who has done me in
Guess you 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 you
Anyway you want me to
You are the one... now this state I'm in!
Catching you was so hard
I fought for you, did you let me win!?
You don't even care, you don't care
where I've been
but I do
love you
Anyway you want me to
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 you can see
That it's got to be me
But if you leave me
I'll understand, yeah
If you leave me, I'll understand
You are the one who has done me in
Guess you knew from the start
I call your friends, but there's no one in
catching you is so hard
You are the one
MANHATTAN SKYLINE
We sit and watch umbrellas fly
I'm trying to keep my newspaper dry
I hear myself say,
'My boat's leaving now'
...so we shake hands and cry
Now I must wave goodbye
Wave goodbye
You know
I don't want to cry again
I don't want to cry again
Don't want to say goodbye
I don't want to cry again
I don't want to run away
Don't want to race this pain
I'll never see your face again
Oh but how
How can you say
that I didn't try...
You see things in the depths of my eyes
that my love's run dry
No...
We leave to their goodbyes
I've come to depend on the look in their eyes
My blood's sweet for pain
The wind and the rain bring back words of a song
And they say: wave goodbye
Wave goodbye
But you know
I don't want to fall again
Don't want to know this pain
Don't want another friend
Don't want to try again
Don't want to see you hurt
Don't let me see you hurt
I don't w ant to cry again
I'll never see your face again
How can you say
that I didn't try
You know I did
You see thngs in the depths of my eyes
that my loves run dry
...so I read to myself:
A chance of a lifetime to see new horizons
On the front page
a black and white picture of
Manhattan Skyline
THE BLOOD THAT MOVES MY BODY
It's the way we feel
Tonight
As if it's all unreal
All right
My love, won't you comb back to
Our love, you know I'll react to
the blood that moves my body
Now covers the ground
The blood that moves my body
The blood that moves my body
There's nowhere to go
Tonight
Lend send some warmth to our cold
And lonely lives
Red stains '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 my body
The blood that moves my 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 my body
EARLY MORNING
Early morning
Eight o'clock precise
Is see the lonely August sun rise
(Chorus)
Say you know
You will
Move me like you do
Out on the fields...
I'm waiting the whole night through
Early morning, early morning, yeah
Ran the whole way
Down to the tracks
Through the doorway
then a last look back
Repeat Chorus
I climbed all the stairways
To find the rooftop clear
Got the shotgun lying with me here
Say you know
You will
Move me like you do
Early morning
Eight o'clock precise
HUNTING HIGH AND LOW
Here I am
and within the reach of my hand
she's sound asleep and
she's sweeter now than my wildest dream--
could of seen her.
And I watch her sliping away
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 the 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.
So I guess I'll be hunting
high and low, high
There's no end to the lengths I'll go to
hunting high and low, high
Do you know what it means to love you
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
only for you
Watch me tearing myself to pieces,
hunting high and low, high
There's no end to the length I'll go to
for you I'll be hunting high and low.
MOVE TO MEMPHIS
Walked around no one around
You were the one who taught me better
This old town brings me down
You were the one who told me you've got to
Move to Memphis
That's what I'll do
Move to Memphis and follow you
Trace that highway down to your doorway
Move tho Memphis and be with you
On the day you walked away
I was the one who said
You'd better stick around stay in town
You were the one who told me you've got to
Move to Memphis
That's what I'll do
Chase the shadow that follows you
Trace that highway down to your doorway
Move to Memphis and be with you
That's what I'll do
Move to Memphis to be with you
I'm gonna be with you
I'VE BEEN LOSING YOU
It wasn't the rain that washed away...
Rinsed out the colours of your eyes
Putting the gun down on the bedside table
I must of realized:
It wasn't the rain
That made no difference.
And I could of sworn it wasn't me
Yet I did it all so coldly
...almost slowly
plain for all to see
Oh come on please now
talk to me
tell me; things I could find helpful
Is there nothing I can do
I have lost my way
I've been losing you
I can still hear our screams competing
You're hissing your s's like a snake
Now in the mirror stands
half a man
I thought no one could break
It wasn't the rain
That made no difference
...nervously drumming on: Run away
But I want the guilt to get me
thoughts to wrech me
--praying on my mind
Please now
talk to me
tell me; things I could find helpful
For how can I stop now ...
Is there nothing I can do
I have lost my way
I've been losing you
THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS
Hey driver, where're 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 headlights fade away
Hundred thousand people...I'm the one they blame
I've been waiting long for one of us to say
Save the darkness, let it never fade away
In the living daylights
All right, hold on tighter now
It's down, down to the wire
Set your hopes up way too 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
Save the darkness, let it never fade away
In the living daylights
Comes the morning and the headlights fade away
Hundred thousand people...I'm the one they frame
In the living daylights
The living daylights....
The living daylights...
CRYING IN THE RAIN
I'll never let you see
The way my broken heart
is hurting me
I've got my pride and
I know how to hide
All the sorrow and pain
I'll do my crying in the rain
If I wait for cloudy skies
You won't know the rain
from the tears in my eyes
You'll never know that
I still love you
So though the heartaches remain
I'll do my crying in the rain
Raindrips falling from heaven
Will never wash away my misery
But since we're not together
I'll wait for stormy weather
To hide these tears I hope
you'll never see
Someday when my crying's done
I'm gonna wear a smile and
walk in the sun
I may be a fool
But till then, darling
you'll never see me complain
I'll do my crying in the rain
I'll do my crying in the rain
I'll do my crying in the rain
I'll do my crying in the rain
I CALL YOUR NAME
We got married on a cold mid-winter's morning
We said our lines
Then kissed
And it was over
Those pronouncements had such weight
I guess they made us hesitate
Hesitate
When she moved her hips
And swayed in my direction
I thought we could make it yet
And beat the isolation
But in that gentle dark
Man, we tore ourselves apart
Through the fire and rain
Through the wilderness and pain
Through the losses, through the gains
On love's roller coaster train
I call your name
Oh God...we used to laugh
Is the fire dying, babe
It hurts to ask
Let me hold you for awhile
STAY ON THESE ROADS
The cold has a voice
It talks to me
Stillborn, by choice
It airs no need
to hold
Old man feel the cold
Oh baby don't
'cause I've been told to
Stay on these roads
We shall meet, I know
Stay on...my love
We shall meet, I know
I know
Where joy should reign
these skies restrain
'Shadow your love...'
The voice trails off again
Old man feel the cold
Oh baby don't
'cause I've been told
Stay on these roads
We shall meet, I know
You feel so weak, be strong
Stay on, stay on
We shall meet, I know
I know
TRAIN OF THOUGHT
He likes to have the morning
Paper's crossword solved,
Words go up, word 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.
And his thoughts are full of strangers
Corridors of naked lights,
And his mind once full of reason
Now there's more than meets meets the eye,
Now a stranger's face he carries with him
He likes a bit of reading
On the subway home,
A distant radio's 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, too numb to see
And nothing that he knows of
And nowwhere where he's been
Was never quite like this
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
Now a stranger's face he carries with him
And at heart he's full of strangers
Dodging on his train of thought
Train of thought.
THE SUN ALWAYS SHINES ON TV
(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
I reached inside myself and found
Nothing there to ease the
Pressure of my ever worrying mind
All my powers waste away
I fear the crazed and lonely
Looks the mirror's sending me these days
Please don't ask me to defend
The shameful lowlands of the way I'm drifting
Gloomily through time
I reached inside myself today
Thinking there's got to be some way
To keep my troubles distant.
