01 - Celice 02 - Don't do me any favours
(Magne Furuholmen /Martin Terefe)

1, 2, 3, 4
Celice
It's in the way you hurt me
Celice

Celice
I know that I'm alive

Open up inside
Make me want you
Make me want to

Wrap yourself around me
Hold me tighter
Hold me tight as only you can

Celice
It's in the way you hurt me
Celice
You sharpen all my senses
I know you're on my side

Celice
Its in the way you teach me
Celice
To chase the thoughts away

You opened up my eyes
Made me want you
Made me want to

You know it feels so nice
Hold me tight now
Hold me tight as can be

Celice
It's in the way you hurt me

Celice
Its in the way you hurt me
Celice
I know that I'm alive
Celice
You sharpen all my senses
I know you're on my side

(Magne Furuholmen)

Don't Do Me Any Favours

You offer your assistance
but you won't accept my help
You draw your own conclusions
and there's room for little else

Your own participation's
based on how much you can lose
I cannot help
but feel that this
won't be of any use

Don't offer me a credit
cuz I do not want the blame
Don't do me any favours
I don't wanna play that game

I do not want to see myself

as someone that you saved
I'd rather be an adversary
than to be your slave

Cuz every friendly gesture
turns my stomach inside out
Don't do me any favours
I am better off without

Don't offer me a credit
cuz I do not want the blame
Don't do me any favours
I don't want to know your name

But it's alright
Yes it's alright
Yes it's alright
Yes it's alright
Yes it's alright

Ooh - don't offer me a credit
cuz I do not want the blame
Ooh - don't do me any favours
I don't want to know your name
Don't do me any favours
Don't do me any favours
Don't do me any favours
Don't do me any favours

Cuz it's alright
Yes it's alright
It's alright
Yes it's alright
It's alright
Yes it's alright

03 - Cosy prisons 04 - Analogue
(Magne Furuholmen)

Take a moment if you dare
Catch yourself a breath of air
There's another life out there
And you should try it

Dead-ends hide on every street
Look before you place your feet
Cracks and fissures keep the beat
and you're inside it

Every thought you never dared to think
Every mood you always knew
would sink
Every line you spoke out loud in a jest

All time
you took to be your best
Is soon forgotten

The sun must never touch your skin
It could expose the dark within

You're paranoid about the paranoia

And panic hits without a sign
You worry 'bout it all the time
Every perfect moment
is a hidden warning

Cuz everything
makes your pretty head spin
And nagging thoughts
are starting to sink in
With everything this way
it's better to forget
Than end up in a place with
something to regret

Your transatlantic shopping-sprees
Your health-forever guarantees
Organic-bio-life's a breeze
in cosy prisons

But hiding out in the salad bar
Isn't gonna get you far
And bottled wine
is vinegar tomorrow

And everything around here
makes your pretty head spin
It's piling up high
- you're back where you begin
Moments
you have tried so hard to forget
Are promising
to've been the best ones yet

Yeah, everytime you shut your eyes
it appears
Everytime you trace your steps
back here
None of your convictions
have the same old ring
But no doubt
you will find a place for everything
In cosy prisons

So if you're careful
You won't get hurt
But if you're careful all the time
Then what's it worth?

(Pal Waaktaar)

Come back, my darling one
I'm calling on you
The road ahead is long
And I must warn you

I wonder
Where did she go?
If I failed you
I tell you right now

All I want you to know; I love you
All I need is the time to show you

Come back, my fallen son
Don't let them fool you
Cos when the day is done
They'll never move you

Lay down your senseless pride
(Got more than you)
Put out your mournful tones
I tell you right now

All I want you to know; I love you
All I need is the time to show you how I feel
Feel.....Feel

(Lay down your senseless pride
You travelled once too often)

I tell you right now
All I want you to know; I love you
All I need is the time to show you how oh yeah

you know I love you
All I need is the time to show you how I feel
 

05 - Birthright 06 - Holy Ground
(Magne Furuholmen)

You don't wanna hang around
Said you were leaving town for the summer

At least til sundown

Cause time ain't gonna grind you down
ain't gonna waste your life
chasing rainbows like some clown


But who's gonna come with you tonight
Who's gonna tell you it's alright?
Everything changes over time
Just like wine

Time ain't gonna hold you up
Ain't gonna make it stop
long enough to ease your mind
Ain't gonna make it last forever

And you... whatcha gonna do?
Walk this solitary?
So unnecessary
But it's alright
It's your birthright

Hey, hey, everything's different down the line
Everything changes over time

Time ain't gonna make it worse
It's gonna make you start
feeling better
Just like wine
We're gonna make it last forever


And you... whatcha gonna do?
Just the ordinary?
It's so unnecessary
But it's all right
Yes it's alright
It's your birthright

It's your birthright

(Morten Harket)

 

Take your pride
and lift it high
I've come to say goodbye

You've got your life
and I've got mine
Sometimes is hard
to draw that line

I like to walk
and my way is my own
You taught me how,
don't you know?

And there must be some place
to meet
I'll take off my shoes
I'll walk barefoot when I do
Standing there in front of you
I want to be honest
I want to be true

I like to walk
and my way is my own
You taught me how
don't you know what we found?

Brother maybe
we're on holyground
(Brother take your pride
 and lift it high)
Take your pride and lift it high
(There must be someplace
 somewhere sometime)

I must leave without your good advice
I'll go stronger
where the mountains rise
Standing there in front of you
I want to be honest
I want to be true

In front of you...
(Brother take your pride
  and lift it high)
And I'll praise you
(There must be someplace
 somewhere sometime)

We're on Holyground
(Brother take your pride
 and lift it high)
Take your pride
and lift it high
(There must be someplace
 somewhere sometime)

And I'll praise you

Take your pride
and lift it high
I'm here to say goodbye

07 -Over the treetops 08 - Halfway through the tour
(Magne Furuholmen / Pal Waaktaar)

Hey, beautiful farm on the top of the hill
Whenever I pass by I'm thinking I will
Find someone like you
Goodbye avenue
And then I'll be yearning for this too

Over the treetops fly
birds in the sky
Over the treetops high
high in the sky

Stop calling her restless
she moves in the sun
Gets out of the bed past noon
closer to one
I follow her mind
I follow her blind
She leaves and I'm two steps behind

Over the treetops fly
birds in the sky
Over the treetops high
high in the sky

A trip is a fall
To fall is to trip
A trip is a fall
To fall is to trip
A trip is a fall
To fall is to trip
A trip is a fall
To fall is to trip

She changes how she feels
about things, that's okay
It works for me
I think I like it that way
No thing is true
some thing is false
Address the child as a whole

Over the treetops fly
birds in the sky
Over the treetops high
high in the sky

Over the treetops fly
birds in the sky
Over the treetops high
high in the sky

Over the treetops fly
birds in the sky
Over the treetops high
high in the sky

(Pal Waaktaar)

Halfway through the tour
We'll be somewhere else tomorrow
Ah, halfway through the tour
We'll be somewhere else tomorrow

And you know
I can't wish no more
Than walking out that door
And make for home tomorrow

Halfway through the tour

Halfway through the tour
Houses set back from the road
Ah, halfway through the tour
Across a dry expanse we go

And you know
I can't wish no more
Than walking out that door
And make for home tomorrow

Halfway through the door

But when the crowd engage
And takes you to a place
You will know
Everyone can be a part of
Everyone can be a part of it

Halfway through the tour
While there's money to be made
Halfway through the tour
From the public eye we fade


And you know
Across a dry expanse
We're flying by the seat of our pants
We'll be somewhere else tomorrow

Halfway through the tour
I can't do much more
Than make for home tomorrow

Tomorrow


 

09 - A fine blue line 10 - Keeper of the flame
(Magne Furuholmen)

Take a look and see
What's become of me
Remember how it used to be

People that we'd meet
Were falling at your feet
You didn't even see it

Time marches on ahead
- enough said
There's only one way through it
Time marches on ahead
- one day we'll see it
How there's a fine blue line
Running through it

We read each other's books
We gave each other looks
Like we couldn't trust ourselves
And we knew it

So tell me where you've been
And I'll show you were you're going
You can shout, you can scream
Your way through it...

Well time rushes an ahead
- enough said
That's just the way we blew it
Time marches on ahead
- one day you'll see it
Love is a fine blue line

Time races on ahead
- enough said
That's just the way we blew it
Time marches on ahead
- one day you'll see it
Love is the fine blue line
Running through it
Running through it


 

(Pal Waaktaar)

Give it up for rock'n' roll
Give it up for rock
Give it up for
how it made you feel
Give it up for vinyl days
Kicking back from school
Turning out to make it
real sweet

Give it up for rock'n'roll
Give it up for Pop
Give it up for
how it made you see
Give it up for Silvertone
Give it up for golden
adolescent daydreams

Incidental incidents
Instrumental instruments
A plan evolves
too grand to entertain
Monumental monuments
Sentimental sentiments
You could've been
the Keeper of the flame

You could've been
the Keeper of the flame
One day

Incidental incidents
Instrumental instruments
Swallowed by the place
from which you came
Monumental monuments
Sentimental sentiments
You should've been
the keeper of the flame

Give it up for summer days
Laying in the grass
Everything is happening in your head
You raise your fist up in the air
Clench your fist and say
Four more years and I'm outa here
Give it up
Give it up
Give it up
Four more years and I'm outa here

11 - Make it soon 12 - White dwarf
(Morten Harket)

I  watch my love she's sleeping
the air around her deepened
Tomorrow she will smile again
tomorrow she'll get wild again

My love
and the moon
Take your time
make it soon

I didn't mean to hurt you
it's what I use the words to
Every time we loose our way
Get so many things to say

My love
and the moon
Take your time
make it soon

I see you and I hear you call
but sometimes
when I lost it all
I go out of my mind
to see what I can find
I can find

I watch my love she's sleeping
the air around her deepened
Tomorrow she will smile again
tomorrow she'll get wild again

My love


 

(Pal Waaktaar)

There's a big black picture
and it's hanging on your wall
The stars and all the planets
the milky way and all
And in the left hand corner
perhaps a small white dwarf
Ready to explode, implode
I really can't recall

But its out there
and I'm down here
And so far from it all

Everything's expanding
in a constant state of change
Everything's demanding
in a constant state of pain
You radiate a wake
your last remaining heat
Your atmosphere has blown away
when you admit defeat

But its out there
(Don't know where we are)
And I'm down here
(Don't know why we are)
And so far from it all

Your time
your grace
your story in place
your life-span erased

There's a big black picture
and it's hanging off your wall
The stars and all the planets
the milky way and all
And in the left hand corner
perhaps a small white dwarf
Ready to explode, implode
I really can't recall

But its out there
(Don't know where we are)
And I'm down here
(Don't know why we are)
And so far from it all

But I'm out here
(Don't know where we are)
Down where
(Don't know why we are)
And so far from it all...

13 - Summers of our youth  
(Pal Waaktaar/Magne Furuholmen)

There's nothing you can say
To make me change my mind
It happens all the time
Just let the plot unwind

As we look back and see
Our yesterdays entwine

The beauty and the truth
The summers of our youth

And you can go there anytime
The movies of your mind
And you can see it clearly
where we overstepped the line

Whatcha gonna do when lights go out?
Whatcha gonna think it's all about?
Whatcha gonna do
when time is up?
Whatcha gonna do
to make it change the way you feel?

How life's a precious gift
You've felt it once or twice
How everything comes once
But once a million times

But you you can find it anywhere
You know I speak the truth
I wish there was a way back
to the summers of our youth

Whatcha gonna do
when time is up
Whatcha gonna do to make a start
Whatcha gonna do when lights go out
Whatcha gonna think it's all a-,
think it's all about
