1. _ Mary Ellen Makes The Moment Count
(paul waaktaar)
Mary cries out: "for the love of god"
As she's walking out of the laundromat
Down the street and it's the short way home
Feeling special cause she's so alone
But we know:
(the world's full of lonely people)
And it shows
(the world's full of lonely people)
She shrugs her coat off and unlocks the door
Eats her dinner on the kitchen floor
Writes a poem and turns the radio on
Every singer sings the same old song
And it goes:
(the world's full of lonely people)
And it shows
(the world's full of lonely people)
But when we she wanted me to go
She just had to let it show
To bring me down if she wanted me to leave
She just wore it on her sleeve
But at least, i was around
But when we she wanted me to go
She just had to let it show
To bring me down if she wanted me to leave
She just wore it on her sleeve
At least, i was around
Mary ellen makes the moment count
As she's looking through old photographs
Pictures taken from an early age
Faces look back at her from the page
And they say
(the world's full of lonely people)
It's ok
(the world's full of lonely people)
It's ok
(the world's full of lonely people)
But when we she wanted me to go
She just had to let it show
To bring me down if she wanted me to leave
She just wore it on her sleeve
But at least, i was around
I was around
I was around
I was around
Mary ellen makes the moment count

2. _ You'll Never Get Over Me
(paul waaktaar)
You say you want some fun
You're not the only one
Not the only one
And you say you wanna run
You're not the only one
Not the only one
You will never get over me
I'll never got under you
Whenever our voices speak
It's never our minds that meet
You say you want some
You're not the only one
Not the only one
And you, you say you've come undone
You're not the only one
Not the only one
You will never get over me
I'll never got under you
Whenever our voices speak
It's never our minds that meet
You'll never get over me

3. _ Velvet
(paul waaktaar / lauren savoy)
Her skin is like velvet
Her face cut from stone
Her eyes when she's smiling
Will never reach home
But hear how she sings
Her touch would be tender
Her lips would be warm
But when we're together
I'm always alone
But hear how she sings
But hear how she sings
Hear how she sings
Her skin is like velvet
So i went to her home
Her place like a palace
With things you can't own
Her skin is like velvet
And hear how she sings
Hear how she sings...

4. _ The Sun Never Shone That Day
(paul waaktaar / lauren savoy)
The sun never shone that day
From an early dawn the sky was grey
I never should've walked away
I know that now, but i'm here to say:
Everybody walks away
Everybody's led astray
Breaking every plan to stay
It happens all the time
The sun never shone that day
From an early dawn the sky was grey
I never should've walked i know
I see that now, but it's hard to show
Everybody's got to go
Everybody tells you so
Everybody wants to know
Why it happens all the time
I can't see the point of turning everything upside down
I can't see the point of greeting everything with a frown
I can't see the point of painting everything black or white
I can't see the point of leaving everyone full of doubt (oh doubt)
The sun never shone that day
From an early dawn the sky was grey
I never should've walked away
I see that now, but i'm here to say
Everybody holds their own
Everybody lives alone
Everybody hogs the phone
It happens all the time
Everybody feels the strain
Everybody holds the pain
Everybody stays the same
It happens all the time
I can see the point of turning everything upside down
I can see the point of greeting everything with a frown
I can see the point of painting everything black or white
I can see the point of leaving everyone full of doubt
Everyone full of doubt
The sun never shone that day

5. _ Summer Moved On
(paul waaktaar)
Summer moved on
And the way it goes
You can't tag along
Honey moved out
And the way it went
Leaves no doubt
Moments will pass
In the morning light
I found out
Seasons can't last
And there's one thing
Left to ask
Stay, don't just walk away
And leave me another day
A day just like today
With nobody else around
Friendships move on
Until the day
You can't get along
Handshakes unfold
And the way it goes
No one knows
Moments will pass
In the morning light
I found out
Seasons can't last
So there's just one thing
Left to ask
Stay, don't just walk away
And leave me another day
A day just like today
Stay, don't just walk away
With nobody else around
Seasons can't last
And there's just one thing
Left to ask
Stay, don't just walk away
And leave me another day
A day just like today
Stay, don't just walk away
With nobody else around
Summer moved on

6. _ The Company Man
(magne furuholmen / paul waaktaar)
Andy was the company man
Responsible for signing the band
Songs came out of our mouths
And into his hands
Oh yeah
Legal help, yes we had plenty
Bank-accounts are easy to empty
Everybody's trying to help
Everyone is so friendly
Oh yeah
And we all come down
Don't make a sound as we hit the ground
Yes we all fall down
Don't make a sound as we hit the ground
Give us something easy to sing to
Give us something simple to cling to
Something we can all understand
Said the company man
Oh yeah
We sing
And we all fall down
Don't make a sound as we hit the ground
Yes we all fall down
Don't make a sound as we hit the ground
Yes we all fall down
Don't make a sound as we hit the ground
May we all fall down
Don't make a sound as we hit the ground

7. _ To Let You Win
(morten harket / hevard rem)
You know i always had the strength to fight
But i got tired of the wars at night
Thinking they would end if i gave in
But i wasn't strong enough
..to let you win
..to let you win
..let you win
I knew the fight but i didn't know the cost
And how to stop the wheels when they're in spin
I thought you couldn't love a man who'd lost
No, i wasn't strong enough
..to let you win
..let you win
It used to scare me to wake up wondering
If i'd forgotten what i was fighting for
You know that you said that you were weak and i was strong
Well, i wasn't strong enough
..to let you win
..to let you win
..let you win
..to let you win
You know i always had the strength to fight
But i got tired of the wars at night
Thinking they would end if i gave in
But i wasn't strong enough
..to let you win
..to let you win

8. _ Barely Hanging On
(paul waaktaar)
I used to be so sensible on my own
Now i'm so sensitive it's a joke
I'm getting by on decibels like a drug
And greet every brand
New day with a shrug
I'm barely hanging on
I used to be so comfortable in a suit
Almost presentable next to you
I used to be so confident in a crowd
Now i can't say my own name aloud
I'm barely hanging on
And now i guess you're
Wondering why
We never could see eye to eye
Oh but never mind
And now i guess it's hard to see
What has gotten into me
Oh but never mind
I'm barely hanging on

9. _ I Won't Forget Her
(paul waaktaar)
I won't forget her
She was once my love
When i hold you in my arms
Oh yeah
You know i'll let you come to no harm
Oh yeah
But if one day
Much like today
You stop and wonder what i'd prefer
Well, you know i won't forget her
I won't forget her
She was once my love
Did you see it in my eyes
Oh yeah
Did it make you realise
Oh yeah
That one day
Much like today
My mind would wonder
If she's still there
Cause you know i won't forget her
I won't forget her
She was once my love
When i hold you in my arms
Oh yeah
She was once my love
I won't forget her
She was once my love

10. _ I Wish I Cared
(magne furuholmen)
To hold me closer or set me free
To trust completely or let it be
You don't know my destiny
You can't see what i can see
Hey - i wish i cared
Hey - i wish i cared
To love me truely or let me go
Inbetween i don't want to know
This is how it has to be
No more us and no more we
Hey - i wish i cared
Hey - i wish i cared
Once again, on the station
See your face in a crowd
Comes again the sensation
You can't hear yourself think
With their voices inside your head
Hey - i wish i cared
Hey - i wish i cared
I wish i cared
Yes i really do
I wish i cared
(hey) i wish i cared
Yes i really do
I wish i cared
(hey) i wish i cared
I wish i cared
(hey)

11. _ Little Black Heart
(magne furuholmen / paul waaktaar)
I never saw sunlight
Burn as bright
I never felt darkness
The way i feel it tonight
You say it's getting better
You say it's allright
But i never felt darkness
Like i feel it tonight
Little black heart
Raindrops on my window
I can't tell them apart
Like the few things forgiven
In my little black heart
You say it's getting better
We just never got it right
But i never felt darkness
The way i feel it tonight
Little black heart
Some day we will shine
Like the moon in the morning
Like the sun when it's dawning
Yes the sun when it's dawning
The sun
Some day we will shine
Like the moon in the morning
Like the sun when it's dawning
Yes the sun when it's dawning
The sun
Raindrops on my window
I can't tell them apart
Like a few things forgotten
And a few things ignored
You say it's getting better
You say it's allright
But i never felt darkness
The way i feel it tonight
Little black heart
My little black heart

12. _ Minor Earth, Major Sky
(magne furuholmen / paul waaktaar)
I can't see me in this empty place
Just another lonely face
I can't see me here in outer space
It's so hard to leave a trace
And i try and i try and i try
But it never comes out right
Yes i try and i try and i try
But i never get it right
It's a
Minor earth major sky
I can't see me in this lonely town
Not a friendly face around
Can you hear me when i speak out loud
Hear my voice above the crowd
And i try and i try and i try
But it never comes out right
Yes i try and i try and i try
But i never get it right
It's a
Minor earth major sky
But i try and i try and i try
But it never comes out right
Yes i try and i try and i try
But i never get it right
It's a
Minor earth major sky

13. _ Thought That It Was You
(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, amen, amen
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
There's a place we used to go
That's where i throw our ashes now
I must have walked into a cave
Among these things that you must save
And there i touched the grave
You know my deepest sin
You've seen me deep within
But fill me now like wind
And let the miracle begin
You know my deepest sin
You've seen me deep within
But 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
You know my deepest sin
You've seen me deep within
But fly, fly higher from it
Just look into my eyes
You know my deepest sin
You've seen me deep within
But fill me now like wind
And let the miracle begin
And the secrets that you say
