In a way I think you know (Angelskår)
You taught me once, you taught me twice
How to lose myself
And though it sounded awfully nice
There is no escape
You can’t pretend when you’re afraid
So you play by rules
And though it takes you somewhere safe
It’s just so damn uncool
And in a way I think you know
I’ve got this anger, I’ve got this spite
And it drives me mad
I’ve got this fear that it might grow
Into something bad
And in a way I think you know
Either way I think you know
Song for Sybil (Angelskår)
A star burned out today
In the middle of the play
When the curtains rose she was longing for the dark
Folding out her heart
She wasn’t made for life, my friend
Love is but a mask we’re carrying
The spell was broken when you let him change your ways
When you left your soul backstage
She was a Juliet at heart
Merely acting out her part
She never really lived so she never really died
But she can never be denied
A star burned out today
In the middle of the play
When the curtains rose she forgot about her lines
And this time she spoke her mind
For you
To let go (of that load) (Angelskår)
She was told to come with an open mind
Just don’t meet his eyes and you’ll be fine
She thought she heard him asking: «where you been?»
Knowing that this time he’d let her in
But if I told you what I know
Would you be able to let go
Eighteen, baby it’s such a shame
In the pinetree by the porch her name is engraved
And you won’t believe the things she would do for love
They found her lying face down in the snow
And if I told you what I know
Would you be able to let go
And if I told you what I know
Would you be able to let go
Eighteen, barefoot on his porch
Smiling like she’s never done before
Arms stretched out, she’s ready to depart
Whatever hit her, man it did her harm
And if I told you what I know
Would you be able to let go
And if I told you what I know
Would you be able to let go
Of that load
Like someone changed the rules for us (Angelskår)
We’re going to have this fight again
We’re going to have this fight again
Don’t know where it starts
But it has no end
We’re going to have this fight again
You’re going to hate me for a while
I’ll make you hate me for a while
What is worse, is that I don’t mind
You’re going to have to hate me for a while
And I don’t want control of you
I want to know just who I’m talking to
Now it feels like someone changed the rules for us
I have this dream and it makes me frown
I’m on a plane and it’s falling down
Hazey thoughts on what you’d leave behind
When you’re no longer around
And when you’re back on solid ground
You miss the fear of falling down
There are things I thought I couldn’t lose
They’re of no value to me now
And I don’t want control of you
I want to know just who I’m talking to
Now it feels like someone changed the rules for us
I’m going to love you till I die
You’re such a big part of my life
And either way you made me proud, so proud
It’s just I can’t remember why
I’m going to try and let you go
I’m giving up on you, my love
Give it time, you’re going to be all right
I’m going to meet you down the road
But I don’t want control of you
I want to know just who I’m talking to
Now it feels like someone changed the rules for us
When John passed away (Angelskår)
You told me today what I should have known then
Now that I know will you leave me again?
I’ve been travelling around to make time go away
But something just lingers, something just stays
Everyone’s talking these days
Like there’s something to prove though there’s nothing to say
Everyone’s talking but you, cause your words don’t come cheap
And your thoughts are of use
Remember that night when you and John left the room
You skied on the lake in the light of the moon
Nobody knew untill John passed away
But you saw he was sick and you lit up his face
Everyone’s wondering these days
If life is a loan and if love is for sale
Everyone’ wondering but you, cause you rip off the tags
And you don’t care if it’s new
And you don’t mind the price or the market value
Baby come over cause this time I’m sure
Bet you’ll laugh at my jokes like you used to before
I’ve been trying to stop thinking but man it’s been hard
If we lower the stakes I might let down my guard
Everyone’s talking these days
On how life should be led and how love should be made
Let’s leave the talking alone, fall asleep in my arms
I’ll be watching the door
Everyone’s talking these days
So let us be quiet and let us be safe
Let’s leave the talking alone, fall asleep in my arms
I’ll be watching the door
And I won’t be running away anymore
Dance (Angelskår)
I don’t want to be a slave no more
Depending upon your grace
I don’t want to pay the rent no more
And I don’t want to share your taste
I just want to dance
I don’t want to fake for your sake
I want to break the chain
I don’t want to fake for your sake
want to break the chain
I just want to dance
I don’t want to hear you out
Don’t want to fit your shoe
I don’t want to have to shout
To get my message through
I just want to dance
Try me (Angelskår)
Try me
Try me again now
They say I’m ok now
Nothing is broken, nobody’s hurt
If you try me again I might work
If you try me again I might work
Try me
Try me like someone
you can rely on
Someone you could get high on
Somebody sweet
If you try me like that I might work
If you try me like that I might work
Try me now
Don’t save me for later
Cause I won’t be able
To work up the courage
To ask you again
If you try me today I might work
If you try me today I won’t hurt
After tonight (Melody: Sommerstad / Words: Angelskår / Sommerstad)
Where will you go my love
After tonight, my love
Who will you lean upon
When the night it circles you in, my love
Wish I knew what to save you from
I’d come around just now if you need talking to
You sound so uptight, my love
If I was wrong all along should I hold on to you?
When did I lose your love?
At what point did you choose, my love?
I’m not sure what I’m looking for
But it used to be in that smile of yours
Wish I knew what to save you from
I’d come around just now if you need talking to
You sound so uptight, my love
If I was wrong all along should I hold on to you?
Wish I knew what to save you from
I’d come around just now if you need talking to
You sound like you’re with someone
If I was wrong all along I’m sure somebody knew
If I was wrong all along why do I hold on to you?
Ready Made (Angelskår)
You’re waking up from the dream that they all celebrate
Now you have to deal with all those things you just can’t anticipate
Can’t say you’re sorry
Cause it’s not the right word
Can’t say you worry
Cause it’s not what she overheard
And when you dream you dream of a ready made
You’re cute but you belong to another fight
Just want to feel that suspense, see if it goes down right
Can’t say you’re sorry
It just wouldn’t be fair
Can’t say you worry
Cause you don’t, you don’t really care
And when you dream you dream of a ready made
And when I stand before you
(Somehow I’m always lost)
And think of times to come
I should have never lost you
Now you’re gone
When you try to be sweet you just turn them off
Baby, this aint for real, no this is Rock’n’roll
Can’t say I’m sorry
Cause I said so before
Can’t say I worry
Cause I don’t, I don’t anymore
But when I dream I dream of a ready made
Either way I think you know (Angelskår)
You taught me once, you taught me twice
How to lose myself
And though it sounded awfully nice
There is no escape
You can’t pretend when you’re afraid
So you, you play by rules
And though it takes you somewhere safe
It’s just so damn uncool
And in a way I think you know
Cause there’s one thing I never said
Thought I’d let it go
And though it wouldn’t change a thing
It just grows and grows
I’ve got this anger, I’ve got this spite
That I keep pushing back
I’ve got this fear what might come out
If the bottle cracks
And in a way I think you know
Either way I think you know
There’s a crossing up the road
Soon you’ll see it to
There are two roads you can walk
But you’ll have to choose
The first one is the one you’re on
You just stay with the tracks
The other one I just don’t know
But there is no going back
And in a way I think you know
Either way I think you know
Bloomed and died (Jakob Krogvold)
I have ways to make you talk
When I don’t even want to know
You know how to make me feel
Like rolling over slow
But looking at us it would seem
Like all of our intentions could easily meet
When it comes down it’s like a curse
And it gets worse
Till even going to bed has to be justified
All kindness has been put aside
There’s no redeeming qualities for you & I
As we have bloomed & died
Taking any sense there was
And leaving it behind
This is just a painful way
Way of wasting time
now looking at us it would seem
that I’m just impossible and you are such a Queen
I get absent like a cloud
So you get loud
Look at how the shit it has intensified
You were wrong and I have lied
There’s no attempt of reconcile
As we have bloomed and died
Till even going to bed has to be justified
All kindness has been put aside
There’s no redeeming qualities for you & I
As we have bloomed & died
Dorian leaving the table in Rage (No Good) – (Angelskår)
My hand is shaking like an old mans hand
I’m trying to keep it still
I’m so dead angry my tears come out as steam
And yet I wonder if the blame’s on me
I try so hard not to hate you now
Not to break you now
But I swear to God that you’re no good
You keep telling me how I’m bound to lose
And baby, that might be so
But I aint never tried to make you look bad
Just out of lack of self control
You’re a fire burning out too slow
And more than that I just don’t know
But I swear to God that you’re no good
It’s just the evil in me, I suppose
Before I know it I just go off
It’s just the evil in me, I suppose
Before I know it I just go off
You’re a fire burning out too slow
And more than that I just don’t know
But I swear to God that you’re no good
I swear to God that you’re no good
