Electrolove (Angelskår)

 

You’re somewhere out there don’t know what you do

But your commitment fades just like a bad tattoo

And I don’t blame you cause I know what’s wrong

I just can’t spell it out in words no more

 

Seems like our memories are growing old

Cause when I’m with you It’s like I’m all alone

And I’m so tired of being sad

And I’m fucking bored with analyzing it

 

This is how we come undone

This is how we come undone

This is how we come undone

 

I can’t fight this feeling that it’s not our fault

We’ve just been on our own too long

For this Electrolove

 

You say you want me, I say I want you back

I want you to have me

But you seem uncertain

seems like a love declared is a love unheard of

 

And I don’t know how to make you smile

How to get you off or how to make you mine

Don’t even know how to let you go

I don’t know how, it seems I just don’t know

 

But I know how to let you down

I know how to let you down

I know how to make you frown

And even though I’m out of line

I hate to say I told you so

I can’t let you go

Electrolove

 

Like a wildflower fighting for life on a rock

I’m too much with myself not to see what I’ve got

And I’ve got dreams that I call my own

But they’re not completed by me alone

Can you be that someone?

Electrolove

 

 

Dancing In The Backyard (Angelskår / Fields)

 

She came to me with that look on her face

There’s freedom she says in changing your ways

I don’t believe in staying the same

Guess I just don’t relate to the things that I say

When there’s no one there to correct me

To put me in place

And there’s going to be a dance in the backyard

 

Come with me, oh don’t be sad

When there’s a party going on

Come with me, I’ll take you dancing in the backyard

 

She’s the kind of girl, that’ll mess up your head

There’s freedom she says in being mislead

I don’t belive in being myself

Guess I just don’t approve of the choices I make

When there’s no one there to correct me

To put me in place

And there’s going to be a dance in the backyard

 

Come with me, oh don’t be sad

When there’s a party going on

Come with me, I’ll take you dancing in the backyard

Come with me, oh don’t be sad

When there’s a party going on

Come with me, I’ll take you dancing in the backyard

dancing in the backyard

dancing in the backyard

dancing in the backyard

 

 

This Time (Angelskår)

 

Time is running out

She’s not coming over

Not even dropping by

And I don’t need no other friend

Don’t want no other lover

Not as long as she’s around

Not this time

 

So you’ve seen me on my knees

Surrounded by memories

It’s the one thing you can’t have

You’ve been watching me crawl

The least you could do is call

Or have the courtesy to call back

This one time

 

And everywhere I go

Everyone I get to know

They all seem to drop out

Baby, won’t you come back

Just to show me around

 

Time is running out

She’s not coming over

Not even dropping by

And I could use another friend

Someone else’s shoulder

Someone else’s hand

This time

 

 

(In That) Premature Way (Angelskår)

 

I’m not coming with you tonight

I’m going to talk myself empty

Then I’m going to say good night

You’re just not what I had in mind

And you might be good looking

But you just don’t look right

 

But I’m not going to tell you tonight

I’m going to lie and claim

I’ve had the time of my life

But tomorrow I’m not going to call

And my conscience

it won’t bother me at all

 

But hey, you made my day

I’ve been all excited in that premature way

now you’re part of the game

 

You’re going home alone tonight

When you wake up in the morning

You’re going to be all right

There might be coffee on your stove

If you want to, you can choose

To leave the day alone

You can sink down between the sheets

You can open up the window and let the sun come in

You can do whatever you want

But tonight, you’re going home alone

 

But hey, you made my day

I’ve been all excited in that premature way

Hey girl, you made my day

I’ve been all excited in that premature way

And now you’re part of the game

 

 

As Good As It Gets (Angelskår)

 

So your appearance made them forget

They never loved you for what you posess

And if this is as good as it gets

Then you should let it rest

 

And you might want to change your name

The crowd’s just a part of the game

There’s no way that you can relate to them

 

Tell me, do you feel at ease?

And just who are you trying to please?

Cause your honesty is worth shit to me

If it comes for free

 

Be a hero, they won’t let you fail

The crowd’s just a part of the trade

And what they own they will one day claim

 

I’m sure if you do what they want you to

You’ll stay a prince

As long as you do what they want you to

 

Do you take pride in belittling yourself

Cause you’re not fooling anyone else

Tell me, if you are so great

What’s on top of that shelf?

 

You used to leave all your things behind

You made up reasons to hang around

And now they left you with nowhere to go

 

I’m sure if you do what they want you to

You’ll stay a prince

As long as you do what they want you to

You’ll stay a prince

 

 

What I deserve (Angelskår)

 

There are times, she cried

When I do wonder why

Why we’re all so afraid to die

I see her eyes getting wet

By the third cigarette

Politely I ask her why

 

There’s so many people around me

And it tears me apart

It seems I can’t commit at all

Without breaking someones heart

And when I’m alone at the end of the day

There’s no one to see if I’m ok

 

And I do care for you, she says, kissing my cheek

But you’ll be gone by the end of the week

And if I were to wait for someone like you

Then I’d have to give up what I do

 

I might hate myself for telling you this

But you’re not enough, she says, biting her lip

You might think I’m a coward, not having the nerve

But I’m not what you deserve

 

 

She Gave Me Away (Angelskår)

 

She gave me away

Even though she wasn’t supposed to say

She gave me away

In front of all of my friends today

I’ve decided to keep it for myself

She made me hide my face

 

She gave me away

I had to take a fall from grace

She gave me away

I didn’t even defend myself

but hey…

I get a little stronger every day

And I’m not ashamed

 

She gave me away

She made me stay at home for days

She gave me away

And we were supposed to share the blame

I can’t forget the look upon her face

When she gave me away

 

 

Come Back To Me (Angelskår)

 

Come back to me

Come back to me and all the things you knew

Come back to me

There’s a million things we never got to do

 

I’d like to think of me and you

as a little more than what we left behind

it’s funny how, when things go wrong

my love for you grows stronger everytime

 

And it’s so easy letting go

now that everybody knows

there are times when you’re not able

to make that choice

 

Come back to me

Cause baby I won’t make it on my own

The words we chose

The efforts made to put each other down

 

Your voice it keeps pursuing me

And I should have acted differently, I know

But every time you get too close

I tend to run away from you, my love

 

I miss being part of your sight

I miss being kept in mind

Come back to me

 

 

If I Told You, You Were Beautiful (Angelskår)

 

So you want to play truth or dare

With a guy like me, see what’s underneath

When I’m as open as the clear, blue sky

And as far away, but if you don’t mind

Then I could sure use a girl like you

Would you come with me, if I asked you to?

If I told you you were beautiful?

 

So long baby

Your affection turns me on

Girl, you drive me crazy

To be with someone, when your on your own

To be with someone like you

 

4 am I’m outside your house

Your door is shut, but your window’s not

I spot your face as I turn away

There’s a presence made, a yesterday

And I could sure use a girl like you

But would you let me go, if I asked you to?

If I told you you were beautiful?

 

So long baby

Your affection turns me on

Girl, you drive me crazy

 

So long baby

It’s the singer not the song

Girl, that catches your fancy

To be with someone, when your on your own

To be with someone like you

 

 

The Dark Half (Angelskår)

 

You’re running out of time boy

show me what you’ve got

in a couple of minutes

they’ll be shutting you up

everybody’ll say they’re sorry

but don’t believe a word

they’re just giving in to the dark half

that’s what I’ve heard

 

So you decided to make it

on your own

who’s to take the blame then

when you lose control

everybody’ll say they’re sorry

but you can’t see why

you’re just keeping up track

with the dark half, tonight

 

and who’ll be there to support you

when the shit goes down

you’ve got to ask yourself now

do you want them around

cause everybody’s going to be sorry

when you run dry

and you’ll be stuck out here

with the dark half by your side

 

so now you’re touching

ground with us

everyone here is a victim

but you’re the boss

and although you’re truly sorry

you’ve got to put on a show

if you talk the talk

you’ve got to walk this walk alone

 

 

Let The Night Begin (Angelskår)

 

Gotta know for sure my love

Would you still pick me if you could choose

Or am I just part of the everyday things you do?

I used to know my way around here

Now I haven’t got a clue

Caught up in the everyday things we do

 

So take my hand

Let me know I’m safe

Just because you can

And if I’m still here

Turn the TV off

Let the telephone ring

Cause I don’t feel a thing

Blow the daylight out

Let the night begin

 

I used to make you happy, darling

Now I’m put out of use

Turned off by the everyday things we do

Tell me, cause I’m outta here

Where did you put my shoes?

Stood up by the everyday things we do

 

So take my hand

Let me know I’m safe

Just because you can

And if I’m still here

Turn the TV off

Let the telephone ring

Cause I can’t feel a thing

Blow the daylight out

Let the evening in

Blow the daylight out

Let the darkness in

Blow the daylight out

Let the night begin

 

Gotta know for sure my love

Would you still pick me if you could choose

Or am I just part of the everyday things you do?

 

 

Supergirl (Angelskår)

 

These are all the things I never got to say to you

Things I don’t even tell my friends

This is a song that I’ve been humming on for way too long

The hidden track left at the end

 

You’re such a snob

But you’re such a supergirl

And any day now they’ll know

You’re such a snob

But when reconsidering

You’ve got all the things I want

 

These are the streets we walked, the memories we’re leaning on

These are the images I’ve saved

These are the girls I should have left alone, I’d been better off

This is where I am today

 

You’re such a snob

But you’re such a supergirl

And any day now they’ll know

You’re such a snob

But if you get through to me

Then I won’t have to walk alone

 

This is the T-shirt I’ve been carrying for all these years

It’s got your picture on the front

This is the pride I take in wearing it, in sharing it

With everyone who needs to know

 

You’re such a snob

But you’re such a supergirl

And any day now it’ll show

You’re such a snob

But you’re such a supergirl

I think it’s time you sang along

 

This one’s for rock’n’roll, for magazines, for radio

For all the times it knocked me out

This one’s for showing up when everyone thought you were gone

This one’s for never giving up

 

You’re such a slob

But you’re such a supergirl

And now it’s time to carry on

You’re such a slob

But you’re such a supergirl

And here’s a heart that you’ve won

 

You’re such a slob

But you’re such a supergirl

And any day now you’ll know

You’re such a slob

But you’re such a supergirl

Those whom the Gods love grow young

 

 

Wish You’d Hold That Smile (Angelskår)

 

This is how it goes

Me and you on the telephone

This is how we sound

This is how we grow

 

This is what I do

If I had to choose again

This is what I’d choose

Wish I didn’t know what it does to you

 

If I can break your fall

Then we should rise above it all

And if you lose control

You’re sure to turn me on

 

This is what it takes

This is how I feel good about myself

This is how I fall

This is how I break

 

Baby, let’s not fight

Why don’t you come over and spend the night

We don’t need more time

We need to use it right

 

And if you can’t get high

If time’s just flying by

If you live a lie

You ought to say goodbye

 

Hey, I wish you’d hold that smile

Help, If only for a while

I need to know about all the things you did and didn’t do

And just how hard you tried

 

If I can break your fall

Then we should rise above it all

And if you lose control

You’re sure to turn me on

 

 

Alison (Angelskår)

 

Alison wrote me a song and told me to listen

She picked up her guitar and started humming her melody

I remember wanting to know if she needed assistance

She said: «why don’t you try, you might strike the right chord in me»

 

What’s it to you now

You’re going down

 

Nobody laughed when Alison said she’d be famous

Although nobody really knew that she had a voice

Alison hit #1 in the start of September

By Christmas she was already singing about other boys

 

What’s it to you now

You’re going down

 

So, it was seven inches of gold produced by desire

But fifteen minutes of fame was more than she would share

Now Alison’s got a new favorite taking her higher

Me, I’m just a kid trying to work my way out of here

 

What’s it to you now

You’re going down

 

When Alisons band fell apart, she wrote me a letter

I guess she was trying to thank me for letting her go

She said keep on playing my songs in lack of something better

But I bet she was wondering how she would do back home

 

What’s it to you now

You’re going down

 

 

Smile at Everyone (Angelskår)

 

So the plane fell down and the pilot never got to see

The hero he became on international TV

And even though the photo shown, was kind of old

The story of his life was beautifully told

 

When he was young

He used to smile at everyone

And now he’s gone

 

And even though he’s no part of your life

There’s a feeling of loss that you just can’t put aside

Then at one point you forget how to spell his name

And what breaks your heart is how you manage to stay the same

 

When he was young

He used to smile at everyone

And now he’s gone

 

 

(Think I’m) Up For You & I (Angelskår)

 

Getting used to the silence

Used to waking up alone

I never went for affection

I’m just the guy she’s leaning on

 

And if I should tell you lies

Be good enough and try to sort me out

And if I should say goodbye

Be good enough and try to turn me ‘round

Cause I’m up for you and I

 

Tried to see the world through your eyes

But it didn’t make the change

And when I tried to make it in your world

I just couldn’t find my place

 

So if I should tell you lies

Be good enough and try to sort me out

And if I should say goodbye

Be good enough and try to turn me ‘round

Cause I’m up for you and I

 

So how do you want me to please you

I can’t even save myself

And how am I supposed to please you

When I wish you were someone else

 

And if I should tell you lies

Be good enough and try to sort me out

And if I should say goodbye

Be good enough and try to turn me ‘round

Cause I’m up for you and I

 

Think I’m up for you and I

 

 

Live your Life As You Look (Sommerstad)

 

Vivid baby

You collide with time

Move on, girl

Cause you move time

 

And you & I

Are one of a kind I reckon

If you stay – we could share this moment together

I’m seeking your eyes just to enter your mind for a while

 

I am allusive

Losing direction

There’s two people running

Come closer

I want you to see

Put my hand on your shoulder

On you who have no such need

 

And you & I

Are one of a kind I reckon

If you stay – we could share this moment together

I’m seeking your eyes just to enter your mind for a while

 

There she goes and her feet are dancing

Dancing with the street

Live your life as you look

Live your life as you look

 

And you & I

Are one of a kind I reckon

If you stay – we could share this moment together

I’m seeking your eyes just to enter your mind for a while

 

There she goes

Live your life as you look

 

 

Keep Coming Around (Stieng / Angelskår)

 

I say I’m sorry

Way too often, girl

You always take your time

Sweet-talking slowly

Like a baby doll

Now, what’s that behind your eyes?

 

Keep coming around for more, girl

Keep coming around again

Keep coming around for more, girl

Keep asking me to stay

 

Feels like I know you

But I can’t be sure

Cause you never taught me how

Feels like I love you

But it’s hard to tell

Most of the time I just try

 

Keep coming around for more, girl

Keep coming around again

Keep coming around for more, girl

Keep asking me to stay

 

Wish you’d stop trying

You’re trying too hard

And you can’t change what I am

Wish you’d try lying

Or something worse

Now that’s something I’d understand

 

Think we’re alone now

No one’s listening

Say; what’s that behind you eyes?

I’m safe but I’m sorry

And just a little worried

Now tell me what’s on your mind

 

Keep coming around for more, girl

Keep coming around again

Keep coming around for more, girl

Keep asking me to stay

 

Wish you’d stop trying

You’re trying too hard

And you can’t change what I am

Wish you’d try lying

Or something worse

Cause I don’t have a plan

 

 

Silently Aware (Angelskår)

 

I was thinking about a friend

How he’s left alone again

It kept me awake cause I couldn’t understand

Why she had to part with him

He’s such a decent man

 

I would appreciate a call

We could talk about it all

I’ve got some problems of my own

 

Then I thought about the girl

How she thought about the world

And found it bigger than herself

Even though the globe was safe

Placed neatly upon her shelf

 

I guess my aim is to understand

What really makes a man

And if it’s fair to say I am

 

At least it’s safe to say I care

Should I invite him over here

Or just be silently aware

 

 

The Things You Say (Angelskår)

 

There’s no room, she says, while opening her door

Her kitchen sink was filled with flowers

A single candle was lighting up her room

It made me confused about the hour

 

If I only could forgive her

But there’s a hole in my heart getting bigger

And anyway the things you say

They never really get to me

Like: you and I go on forever

Come on

 

When there’s no memory then frankly there’s no hope

There’s no chances whatsoever

You turned to me when there was no one left to call

Said: you and I go on forever

 

Seems like we go on forever

Like you and I go on forever

And all the while I wondered why

you told me about the other guy

If you and I go on forever

 

Seems like we go on forever

Like you and I go on forever

And anyway the things you say

They never really get to me

Like: you and I go on forever

Come on?

 

 

Somebody Else’s Baby (Angelskår)

 

She’s got a box full of letters

That she looks through everyday

She must know every word by heart

She’s somebody else’s baby

The kind that will tell you right away

when she’s not tearing herself apart

 

She’s twice my age, but I don’t care

I can see her house from here

 

I want a small place in her heart

I could be the gap between the beats

The crack in her voice when the tone is hard

There’s probably not much I can do

But I am alone and so are you

And I know a place safe from the dark

 

Its far away but it’s within reach

If you’re ok with company

 

She’s got a box full of letters

That she re-reads every night

And now the bar is about to close

She somebody else’s baby

But as far as I can see

I am the only one who knows

 

 

Now You Play That Song Again (Angelskår)

 

I’ve got his tiny amount of space

But I’m not able to fill the place

Got books from wall to wall

But I can not make them talk

 

There’s a note left on the door

From this girl I used to know

It might be more than I deserve

But who’s to say for sure?

 

You’re alone, my friend

And now you play that song again

While the world around you waits

 

It takes forever to stop a fight

Only to prove her right

And when she no longer replies

Then silence will take her side

 

And for every punch she throws

She’ll offer me her love

And for every hit I take

Her heart’s about to break

 

You’re alone, my friend

and you play that song again

While the world around you waits

 

When you play it safe

Do you want to make that change?

Does it keep the world at bay?

 

They say the song remains the same

But everything else has changed

 

So alone, my friend

Now you play that song again

While the world around you waits

When you turn the page

You’re just fighting someone else

While the world around you waits

 

 

I’m Ok (Angelskår)

 

If all those cigarettes doesn’t kill me

If all those warnings didn’t mean a thing

Then I want a refund for all my worries

I thought I was doing a bad thing

 

All this talk about building up ethics

Of shaping the values for friend and for foe

I’m tired of living up to your standards

But most of all I’m just bored

 

There’s too many shadows

Whispering voices

To many people making their claims

If you look for a way to express yourself

Make sure you got something to say

 

We’ve got neat little answers

For every possible worry

But for every solution there’s a problem ahead

I’m sure you’re all full of good intentions

If you could only get out of bed

 

There’s a drug being made for the broken hearted

It’ll cheer you up but it won’t make you sing

Here’s a little something to occupy your darling

While you’re downtown doing your thing

 

This will only take a minute

I can hear her say

As I sit down on the concrete floor

Light up a smoke and inhale

I’m not sure if I care, but she’s right not to tell

She’s got a different name than the one on the bell

 

And from here it’s all downhill

If you can take the fall

But there are still plenty of numbers

You can choose to call

And if you’re not going home

You might as well go blind

As tomorrow turns into tonight

 

 

Candy Store (Angelskår)

So you finally found what you’re looking for

A talented actress working part time at the drugstore

Across the street, where it’s impossible not to meet

There’s another one just next door

With shameless eyes, she’s nothing but cheekbones

But she’s pretty young, I won’t last that long

 

My life is a pick and choose

It’s a second rate candy store

I’ve had a taste of almost everything

But the flavour don’t last for long

So you move on, I’ve seen them come and go

 

I take pride in the things I own

The books in my shelf and the records piled up against the wall

They’re my own, I know each and every one

I’ve got friends with the sweetest wives

They’ve got beautful kids, they lead meaningful lives

In the suburbs, just out of town

Love is all around

 

I’d be happy to join them soon

By a house and build up a home

And if I’m lucky I’ll have kids I can call my own

Just to see them grow, to see them come and go

Just to see them grow, to see them come and go

 

This one girl thought highly of me

Said she didn’t expect me to be so smart

Have a heart, in fact she didn’t expect it at all

I used to long for those pretty eyes

Until they spotted a friend of mine with a job and a suit

He’s got a record collection too

 

My life is a practical joke

that you just can’t repeat

When you’ve seen it once

You’ve seen pretty much what there is to see

So you move on, I’ve seen them come and go

Moving on, I’ve seen them come and go

 

Moving on, moving on, we’re moving on

 

 

Her Kind of Guy (Angelskår)

 

From right out of nowhere

Looking like someone

Unaware of her beauty

It doesn’t take one to know one

 

She complains about the music

Trying to be hardcore

And you might not like the DJ

But you’re the queen of the dancefloor

 

She’s here right in front of you

Looking down, fighting a smile

But she looks fine, a little tense when she’s spoken to

But it’s all right, I’m her kind of guy

 

There are too many people

Too many voices

It’s never easy to stand out

When there are so many choices

 

So you put on your best smile

And act like you got something to lose

Grab her arm like it belongs to you

And put on your dancing shoes

 

She’s here right in front of you

Looking down, fighting a smile

But she looks fine, a little tense when she’s spoken to

But it’s all right, I’m her kind of guy

 

You don’t even know her

But you know how to make her smile

And you don’t know how you know how

But you’ve been knowing it all night

 

It’s four in the morning

And your ignoring the sunrise

But now you don’t mind the distance

Cause you can see her when you close your eyes

 

She’s here right in front of you

Looking down, fighting a smile

But she looks fine, a little tense when she’s spoken to

But it’s all right, I’m her kind of guy

 

 

Don’t Say You Love Me (Alternate lyrics) (Melody: Stieng / Words: Angelskår)

If we could try to move at a slower pace

I might understand her ways

If I could just let go and enjoy my days

It might make these doubts go away

 

But don’t say you love me

Like loving me is a deed

Cause man, that’s exactly how it feels

Don’t give me that look

As if I’m not trying for real

Cause man, that’s exactly how it feels

 

Why does it always feel so good when they leave?

Like it’s got nothing to do with me

It might be that nasty fear of feeling something real

It might be the lack of ideals

 

But don’t say you love me

Like it’s something I ought to know

Cause I’m just not ready to let go

Don’t say you love me

Like it’s something I ought to know

I’m just not ready to let go

I’m never ready to let go

 

Why does it always feel so good when they leave?

 

 

Henry’s Fuck Up (Tore Aurstad) – Originally performed by Muzzlewhite

 

Your deeds and words

Each truth, each lie

And never ending judging love

Twisted paper rose

Smell the smell of dust

From where she is alone

 

Of all the fuck ups that I do

I save the best ones for you

 

Like the suns tears

Like moon seed rubbish

Like coctail smell in bars

The number on your door

You’ve seen the key

And the last twist of the knife

 

Of all the fuck ups that I do

I save the best ones for you

 

Of all the fuck ups that I do

I save the best ones for you

 

For you, for you, for you, for you
