Ahmet Arif Şahin - Suskun (Sus Kimseler Duymasın)

Sus, kimseler duymasın
Duymasın ölürüm ha
Aydım yarı gecede
Yeşil bir yağmur sonra
Yağıyor yeşil

En uzak o adsız ve kimselersiz
O yitik yıldızda duyuyor musun
Bir stradivarius inler kendi kendine
Yayı reçinesi köprüsü yeşil
Önce bendim diyor ve sonra benim
Ölümsüz güzel ve çetin
Ezgisidir dolaşan bütün evreni
Bilinen bilinmeyen ıssızlıkları
Canımı tüylerimi sarmada şimdi
Kendi rüzgarıyla vurgun
Sarıyor yeşil

Rüya bütün çektigimiz
Rüya kahrım rüya zindan
Nasıl da yılları buldu
Bir mısra boyu maceram
Bilmezler nasıl aradık birbirimizi
Bilmezler nasıl sevdik
İki yitik hasret
İki parça can
Çatladı yüreği çakmaktaşının
Ağıyor gök kuşaklarının serinliğinde
Çağlardır boğulmuş bir su
Ağıyor yeşil

Yivlerinde yeşil güller fışkırmış
Susmuş bütün namlular
Susmuş dağ
Susmuş deniz
Dünya mışıl mışıl
Uykular derin
Yılan su getirir yavru serçeye
Kısır kadın maviş bir kız doğurmuş
Memeleri bereketli ve serin
Sağıyor yeşil

Aydım yarı gecede
Neron çocuk kitaplarında çirkin bir surat
Ve Sezar'sa bir ad yıkıntılarda
Ama hançer taşı sanki
Koca Kartaca
Hani kibrit suyu vermişlerdi üstüne
Bak nasıl alıyor yiğit
Binlerce yıl da sonra
Alıyor yeşil

Vurur dağın doruğundan
Atmacamın çalkara
Yalın gölgesi
Kuş vurmaz tavşan almaz
Ama aç azgın
Köpek balıklarıydı parçaladığı
Bak Tiber saygılı suskun
Bak nilüfer dizisi zinciri
Bunlar bukağısı kolbağlarıdır
Cihanın ilk umudu ilk sevgilisi
Ve ilk gerillası Spartakus'un
Susuyor yeşil

Sus kimseler duymasın
Duymasın ölürüm ha
Aymışam yarı gece
Seni bulmuşam sonra
Seni kaburgamın altın parçası
Seni dişlerinde elma kokusu
Bir daha hangi ana doğurur bizi

Ruhum
Mısra çekiyorum haberin olsun
Çarşıların en küçük meyhanesi bu
Saçları yüzümde kardeş çocuksu
Derimizin altında o olüm namussuzu
Ve Ahmed'in işi ilk rasgidiyor
İlktir dost elinin hançersizliği
Ağlıyor yeşil

Ahmet Arif Şahin - Oy Havar (Yangınlar)

Yangınlar, kahpe fakları, korku çığlıkları
Ve irin selleri aç yırtıcılar
Suyu zehir bıçaklar ortasındasın
Bir cana bir başa kalmışsın vay vay

Pasatsız duldasız üryan
Bir cana bir de başa
Seher vakti leylim leylim
Cellat nişangahlar aynasındasın

Oy sevmişem ben seni
Üsküdar'dan bu yana lo kimin yurdu
He canım, çiçek dağı kıtlık kıran
Gül açmaz çağla dökmez

Vurur çakmak taşı kayalarıyla
Küfrünü medetsiz Munzur
Sahmurat suyu kan akar
Ve ben şairim

Namus işçisiyim yani, yürek işçisi
Korkusuz pazarlıksız, kül elenmemiş
Ne salkım bir bakış, resmin çekeyim
Ne kinsiz bir rüzgar, mısra dökeyim

Oy sevmişem ben seni !
Ve sen daha demincek
Yıllarda geçse demincek
Bıçaklanış dal gibi ayrı düştüğüm

Ömrümüm sebebi ustam, sevgilim
Yaram derine gitmiş
Fitil tutmaz bilirim
Ama hesap dağlarladır, umut dağlarla

Düşün uzay çağında bir ayağımız
Ham çarık kil çorapta olsa da biri
Düşün olasılık, atom fiziği
Ve bizi biz eden amansız sevda

Atıp bir kıyıya bir zamanı
Yarının çocukları gülleri için
Herbirinin ayva tüyü için çilleri icin
Koymuş postasını, görmüş restini

He canım, sen getir üstünü
Oy Havar, Muhammed İsa aşkına
Yattığım ranza aşkına
Deeey dagları un eder ferhadin gürzü

Benim de boş yanım hançer yalımı
Ve zulamda kan ter içinde ası
He desem koparacak dizginlerini
Yediveren gül kardeşi bir arzu

Oy sevmişem ben seni

Ahmet Arif Şahin - İhanet

Albüm Adı : ihanet


Am G
İhanetinin bedeli ben miyim sevgilim
Am F
Niye terkedip gittin beni oooff
Am G F
Oysa ben sana kalbimi verirken oooff
Am G F Em
Sen bana ihanetini mi verdin

Son pişmanlık fayda etmez sevgilim
Benim gibisini inan zor bulursun
Oysa senle ben ne hayaller kurardık oooff
Hepsi gitti sevgilim

Elimde şarkının bu kadarı vardı bende yazıyım dedim
Buraya:)

Ahmet Arif Şahin - Hasretinden Prangalar Eskittim

Ard arda bilmem kaç zemheri geçti
Kurt uyur kuş uyur zindan uyurdu
Dışarda gürül gürül akan bir dünya

Bir ben uyumadım
Kaç bahar leylim
Hasretinden prangalar eskittim

Karanlık gecelerde kendimden geçtim
Saçlarına kan gülleri takayım
Bir o yandan bir bu yandan

Elma yanaktan
Açar kankırmızı yedi verenler
Kar yağıyor bir yandan

Savrulur Karaca dağı savrulur Zozan
Bak bıyığım buz tuttu
Üşüyorum ben

Zemheri de uzadıkça uzadı
Seni baharmışsın gibi düşünüyorum
Seni Diyarbekir gibi düşünüyorum

Ahmet Arif Şahin - Gün Ola (Alnındaki Yaradan)

Alnındaki yaradan
Boşaldı belki bütünkanın
Fakat nehirlerin akıyor
Dağların rüzgarı

Bak yine çarpıyor kalbin
Ortaında kavganın
Günola devran döne
Umut yetişe

Dağlarının dağlarının ardında
Değil öyle yoksulluklar hasret ile
Bir tek başak tanesi susuz kalmayacak
Bir tek zeytin dalı bile yalnız

Sıkıysa yağmasın yağmur
Sıkıysa uyanmasın dağ
Bu yürek ne güne vurur
Ne güne

Bu yürek ne güne vurur
Bu yürek
Günola devran döne
Umut yetişe

Ahmet Arif Şahin - De Be Aslan Karam

Çarpmış
Paramparça etmiş
Kara sütü kara sevdayla seni
Ve kara memelerinde dişlerin asi
Karadır upuzun yattığın gece
Felek ah ettirir boynun kıl ince
Cihanlar çocuklar kuşlar içinde
Sızlar bir yerlerin
Adsız ve kayıp
Sızlar usul usul dargın
Ve kan tadında bir konca
Damıtır kendini mısralarınca

De be aslan karam
De yiğit karam
Hangi kalemin yazısı
Zorlu yazısı
Belanda

Anadan doğma nişan mı
Sütlü barut damgası mı
Bir gece parçası mı kaburgandaki
Kız kakülü ne hal eylermiş teni
Ellerin deli hoyrat
Ellerin susuz yangın
Ellerin ooooy alarga

De be aslan karam
De yiğit karam
Hangi güzelin diş yeri
Mavi diş yeri
Sevdanda

Vurmuş
Demirlerin çapraz gölgesi
Alnın galip ve serin
Künyen çizileli kaç yıldız uçtu
Kaç ayva sarardı kaç kız sevişti
Gelmemiş kimselerin

De be aslan karam
De yiğit karam
Hangi zehirin meltemi
Saran meltemi
Hülyanda

Hakikatli dostun muydu
Can koyduğun ustan mıydı
Bir uyumaz hasmın mıydı
Ooooof de bunlar olsun muydu

De be aslan karam
De yiğit karam
Hangi kahpenin hançeri
Saklı hançeri
Yaranda

Ahmet Arif Şahin - Ay Karanlık (Maviye Çalar)

Maviye maviye çalar gözlerin
Yangın mavisine
Rüzgarda asi
Körsem
Senden gayrısına yoksam
Bozuksam
Can benim düş benim
Ellere nesi
Hadi gel
Ay karanlık

İtten aç yılandan çıplak
Vurgun ve bela
Gelip durmuşsam kapına
Var mı ki doymazlığım
İlle de ille
Sevmelerim sevmelerim gibisi
Oturmuş yazıcılar
Fermanım yazar
N'olur gel
Ay karanlık

Dört yanım puşt zulası
Dost yüzlü dost gülücüklü
Cigaramdan yanar
Alnım öperler
Suskun hayın çıyansı
Dört yanım puşt zulası
Dönerim dönerim çıkmaz
En leylim gecede ölesim tutmuş
Etme gel
Ay karanlık

Ahmet Arif Şahin - Anadolu (Beşikler Vermişim)

Beşikler vermişim Nuh'a
Salıncaklar hamaklar
Havva Ana'n dünkü çocuk sayılır
Anadolu'yum ben tanıyor musun

Utanırım utanırım fukaralıktan
Ele güne karşı çıplak
Üşür fidelerim harmanım kesat
Kardeşliğin çalışmanın beraberliğin
Atom güllerinin katmer açtığı
Şairlerin bilginlerin dünyalarında
Kalmışım bir başıma
Bir başıma ve uzak biliyor musun

Binlerce yıl sağılmışım
Korkunç atlılarıyla parçalamışlar
Nazlı seher sabah uykularımı
Hükümdarlar saldırganlar haydutlar
Haraç salmışlar üstüme
Ne İskender takmışım
Ne şah ne sultan
Göçüp gitmişler gölgesiz
Selam etmişim dostuma
Ve dayatmışım görüyor musun

Nasıl severim bir bilsen
Köroğlu'nu Karayılanı Meçhul Asker'i
Sonra Pir Sultan'ı ve Bedrettin'i
Sonra kalem yazmaz bir nice sevda
Bir bilsen onlar beni nasıl severdi
Bir bilsen Urfa'da kurşun atanı
Minareden barikattan selvi dalından
Ölüme nasıl gülerdi
Bilmeni mutlak isterim duyuyor musun

Öyle yıkma kendini
Öyle mahzun öyle garip
Nerede olursan ol
İçerde dışarda derste sırada
Yürü üstüne üstüne
Tükür yüzüne celladın
Fırsatçının fesatçının hayının
Dayan kitap ile dayan iş ile
Tırnak ile diş ile
Umut ile sevda ile düş ile
Dayan rüsva etme beni

Gör nasıl yeniden yaratılırım
Namuslu genç ellerinle
Kızlarım oğullarım var gelecekte
Her biri vazgeçilmez cihan parçası
Kaç bin yıllık hasretimin koncası
Gözlerinden gözlerinden öperim
Bir umudum sende anlıyor musun

Ahmet Arif Şahin - Akşam Erken İner Mahpushaneye

Akşam erken iner mahpushaneye
Ejderha olsan kar etmez
Ne kavgada ustalığın
Ne de çatal yürek civan oluşun
Kar etmez inceden içine dolan
Alıp götüren hasrete

Akşam erken iner mahpushaneye
İner yedi kol demiri Yedi kapıya
Birden ağlamaklı olur bahçe
Karşıda duvar dibinde
Üç dal gece sefası
Üç kök hercai menekşe

Aynı korkunç sevdadadır
Gökte bulut dalda kaysı
Başlar koymağa hapislik
Karanlık can sıkıntısı
Kürdün Gelini'ni söyler maltada biri
Bense voltadayım ranza dibinde
Ve hep olmayacak şeyler kurarım
Gülünç acemi çocuksu

Vurulsam kaybolsam derim
Çırılçıplak bir kavgada
Erkekçe olsun isterim
Dostluk da düşmanlık da
Hiçbiri olmaz halbuki
Geçer süngüler namluya
Başlar gece devriyesi jandarmaların

Hırsla çakarım kibriti
İlk nefeste yarılanır cigaram
Bir duman alırım dolu
Bir duman kendimi öldüresiye
Biliyorum 'sen de mi' diyeceksin
Ama akşam erken iniyor mahpushaneye
Ve dışarda delikanlı bir bahar
Seviyorum seni çıldırasıya

Ahmet Arif Şahin - Adiloş Bebe

Varamaz elim
Ayvasına narına can dayanamazken
Kırar boynumu yürürüm
Kurdun kuşun bileceği hal değil
Sormayın hiç
Laaaal
Kara ferman çıkadursun yollara
Yarin bahçesi tarumar
Kan eder perçem

Olancası bir tutam can
Kadasına belasına sunduğum
Ben öleydim looy
Elim boş
Ayağım pusu
Bir ben bileceğim oysa
Ne afat sevdim
Bir de ağzı var dili yok
Diyarbekir Kalesi

Açar
Kan kırmızı yediverenler
Ve kar yağar bir yandan
Savrulur Karacadağ
Savrulur zozan
Bak bıyığım buz tuttu
Üşüyorum da
Zemheri de uzadıkça uzadı
Seni baharmışın gibi düşünüyorum
Seni Diyarbekir gibi
Nelere nelere baskın gelmez ki
Seni düşünmenin tadı

Hamravat suyu dondu
Diclede dört parmak buz
Biz kuyudan işliyoruz kaba kacağa
Çayı kardan demliyoruz
Anam sır gibi saklar siyatiğini
Yel der baharın geçer
Bacım ikicanlı ağır
Güzel kızdır bilirsin
İlki bu bir yandan saklı utanır
Ve bir yandan korkar
Ölürüm deyi
Bir can daha çoğalacağız bu kış
Bebeğim neremde saklayım seni
Hoş gelir
Safa gelir
Ahmed Arif'in yeğeni

Doğdun
Üç gün aç tuttuk
Üç gün meme vermedik sana
Adiloş Bebem
Hasta düşmeyesin diye
Töremiz böyle diye
Saldır şimdi memeye
Saldır da büyü

Bunlar
Engerekler ve çıyanlardır
Bunlar
Aşımıza ekmeğimize
Göz koyanlardır
Tanı bunları
Tanı da büyü

Bu namustur
Künyemize kazınmış
Bu da sabır
Ağulardan süzülmüş
Sarıl bunlara
Sarıl da büyü

Ahmet Altuner - Yüzüğümün Allı Da Pullu

Yüzügümün alli da pullu kasi var
Ben garibin su cihanda nesi var
Hep ellerin yari var esi var

Yandim Allah hasretine kavustur
Ya kavustur ya sevdami savustur

Saçim uzun ben saçimi tararim
Yar yitirdim ugrun ugrun ararim
Var mi benim bir kimseye zararim

Yandim Allah hasretine kavustur
Ya kavustur ya sevdami savustur

Ahmet Altuner - Yemenimi Al İsterim

Yemenimi al isterim
Ortasina esim aman aman dal isterim
Sevilmedik yar isterim

(Baglanti)
Ayas üzüm asmasi
Urumeli yosmasi
Sarsam olmaz mi
Ellilik altini
Yüzlük liralari
Mecidiye paralari
O beyaz gerdana
Taksak olmaz mi

Yagmur yagar yer yas olur
Bade içen esim aman aman sarhos olur
Yar sevmesi pek hos olur

Baglanti

Ahmet Altuner - Suya Gider Su Testisi Elinde

Suya gider su testisi elinde
Allar geymis etekleri belinde vay

Vay anam Fadimem
Suya gidemem
Sensiz edemem

Benim yarim simdi gurbet elinde
Vermem seni yadellere ellere vay

Vay anam Fadimem
Suya gidemem

Suya gider su testisin doldurur
Eve gelir gül benzini soldurur vay

Vay anam Fadimem
Suya gidemem
Sensiz edemem

Bu dert beni iflah etmez öldürür
Varam gidem anasina yalvaram vay

Vay anam Fadimem
Suya gidemem
Sensiz edemem

Ahmet Altuner - Sanırlar

Askinla perisan yari görünce
Hüdanin bir saskin kulu sanirlar
Her kime söylesem bu dogru sözü
Zincirden bosanmis deli sanirlar

Sofu bilmez anda hakka niyazi
Üstüne farz olmus vakit namazi
Eline alinca on telli sazi
Ahirette dünya mali sanirlar

Ahmet Altuner - Ördek Gezer Göllerde

Ördek gezer göllerde
Adim gezer dillerde
Ben kaldim gurbet ellerde

Aman simdi yaman simdi

Nerde senin esin ördek

Aman simdi yaman simdi
Daglar basi duman simdi

Ayrilmasi yaman simdi

Ay dogar ayan ayan
Yollara düstüm yayan
Düsüne girmez idim
Koynuna girdim uyan

Aman simdi yaman simdi
Daglar basi yaman simdi
Kavusmasi hostur amma
Ayrilmasi yaman simdi

Ben vuruldum burda kaldim
Atin boynuna sarildim
Ben o yosmadan ayrildim

Aman simdi yaman simdi
Daglar basi duman simdi
Kavusmasi hostur amma
Ayrilmasi yaman simdi

Ahmet Altuner - Meşe Meşeye Benzer

Mese meseye benzer de
Mese köseye benzer
Bizim köyün kizlari da

Oy dedikçe yar gelsin oy oy

Ben yarime gül demem
Gülün ömrü az olur

Beyaz teni boyanmis al kana

Ask adami bülbül gibi söyledir
Melek hanim das üstünde oturur
Süvariler kilinçlarin yeniler

Melek hanim aman iniler
Melegim almada beni arkana
Aglama çerkes hanim senin yazin böyledir
Ask adami bülbül gibi söyledir

Ahmet Altuner - Kürdün Kızı

Ahmet Altuner - Kalenin Ardinda Ekerler Dari

Kalenin ardinda ekerler dari
Ekerler biçerler ederler kari
Elimden aldirdim gül yüzlü yari

Yar bana yareler açti neyleyim
Yolum bir yolsuza düstü neyleyim

Kaleden kaleye sahin uçurdum
Yare seker ezdim serbet içirdim
Ah ile vah ile ömür geçirdim

Yar bana yareler açti neyleyim
Yolum bir yolsuza düstü neyleyim

Kalenin ardinda tas ben olaydim
Kara göz üstüne kas ben olaydim
Yaliniz yatana es ben olayim

Yar bana yareler açti neyleyim
Yolum bir yolsuza düstü neyleyim

Kalenin ardinda kus yuva yapar
Yuvanin içine yilanlar akar
Yar beni birakmis yad ele bakar

Yar bana yareler açti neyleyim
Yolum bir yolsuza düstü neyleyim

Ahmet Altuner - Bir Gömlek Giyer Kisarak

Bir gömlek giyer kisarak
Pabucun burnun basarak
Yanima gelir küserek

(Baglanti)
Oglan nenni

Bir gömlek giyer gül tenli
Çiçegi üstünde belli
Bir yar gördüm çifte benli

Baglanti

Ahmet Altuner - Bahçelerde Pırasa

Bahçelerde pirasa
Yapragina kar yagsa

Oglan oglan oglan
Aman çapkin oglan

Kayalar oylum oylum
Geliyor selvi boylum
Selvi boylum gelmezse
Sen olmaz benim gönlüm

Ahmet Altuner - Bağa Girdim Üzüm Yok

Baga girdim üzüm yok
El yarinde gözüm yok

El duydu alem duydu

Eli iste gözü oynasta döneler

Ahmet Altuner - Ark Altında Bendim Var

Ark altinda bendim var

Kayalar yarilmasin
Yar bana darilmasin
Darilirsa darilsin
Yad ellere sarilmasin

Çankiri dedikleri
Sekerdir yedikleri
Hiç aklimdan çikmiyor
O yarin dedikleri

Çankiri'da bir kus var
Kanadinda gümüs var
Gitti yarim gelmedi
Elbet bunda bir is var

Ahmet - Vazgeçtim Bebeğim

Sen benim için vazgeçilmezdin bebeğim
Ama sen beni hiç sevmedin
Dayanamaz bu yürek artık canımı acıtır
Sensiz geçen bu günler kim bilir ne gün biter

Dönmek isteyipte birgün gelirsen yanıma
Yüzüne bakmam senin asla bir daha
Seni ne çok sevdiğimi anlatamam ben sana
Ama senin yaptıkların artık yeter bana

Artık sevmeyeceğim seni bir daha
Dayanamaz demiştimya dayanır bu kalp buna
Sensiz bu gün günler geçemez demiştim ya
Belki de daha çabuk geçer bundan sonra

Vazgeçtim bebeğim , Sevemem birdaha...
Vazgeçtim bitanem , Olamaz birdaha...

Ahmet - Bir Gün Gelecek

Bitmiyor içimdeki bu sevgi
Silemiyorum bir türlü yaşadığımız o günleri

Belki o güzel gözlerinden,belki o güzelliğinden
Belki de sana olan bu sevgimden...

Seninle olmuyor artık
Seni ne çok sevsemde
Seninle gitmiyor artık
Bu aşk ne kadar büyüksede

Bir gün gelecek,
Seni unuttum diyeceğim sana
Bir gün gelecek,
Seni görmeyeyim diyeceğim bir daha
Bir gün gelecek,
Seni sevmiyorum diyeceğim bundan sonra

Bir gün gelecek,
Bitecek bu sevda...

Ahmed Arif - Suskun (Sus Kimseler Duymasın)

Sus, kimseler duymasın
Duymasın ölürüm ha
Aydım yarı gecede
Yeşil bir yağmur sonra
Yağıyor yeşil

En uzak o adsız ve kimselersiz
O yitik yıldızda duyuyor musun
Bir stradivarius inler kendi kendine
Yayı reçinesi köprüsü yeşil
Önce bendim diyor ve sonra benim
Ölümsüz güzel ve çetin
Ezgisidir dolaşan bütün evreni
Bilinen bilinmeyen ıssızlıkları
Canımı tüylerimi sarmada şimdi
Kendi rüzgarıyla vurgun
Sarıyor yeşil

Rüya bütün çektigimiz
Rüya kahrım rüya zindan
Nasıl da yılları buldu
Bir mısra boyu maceram
Bilmezler nasıl aradık birbirimizi
Bilmezler nasıl sevdik
İki yitik hasret
İki parça can
Çatladı yüreği çakmaktaşının
Ağıyor gök kuşaklarının serinliğinde
Çağlardır boğulmuş bir su
Ağıyor yeşil

Yivlerinde yeşil güller fışkırmış
Susmuş bütün namlular
Susmuş dağ
Susmuş deniz
Dünya mışıl mışıl
Uykular derin
Yılan su getirir yavru serçeye
Kısır kadın maviş bir kız doğurmuş
Memeleri bereketli ve serin
Sağıyor yeşil

Aydım yarı gecede
Neron çocuk kitaplarında çirkin bir surat
Ve Sezar'sa bir ad yıkıntılarda
Ama hançer taşı sanki
Koca Kartaca
Hani kibrit suyu vermişlerdi üstüne
Bak nasıl alıyor yiğit
Binlerce yıl da sonra
Alıyor yeşil

Vurur dağın doruğundan
Atmacamın çalkara
Yalın gölgesi
Kuş vurmaz tavşan almaz
Ama aç azgın
Köpek balıklarıydı parçaladığı
Bak Tiber saygılı suskun
Bak nilüfer dizisi zinciri
Bunlar bukağısı kolbağlarıdır
Cihanın ilk umudu ilk sevgilisi
Ve ilk gerillası Spartakus'un
Susuyor yeşil

Sus kimseler duymasın
Duymasın ölürüm ha
Aymışam yarı gece
Seni bulmuşam sonra
Seni kaburgamın altın parçası
Seni dişlerinde elma kokusu
Bir daha hangi ana doğurur bizi

Ruhum
Mısra çekiyorum haberin olsun
Çarşıların en küçük meyhanesi bu
Saçları yüzümde kardeş çocuksu
Derimizin altında o olüm namussuzu
Ve Ahmed'in işi ilk rasgidiyor
İlktir dost elinin hançersizliği
Ağlıyor yeşil

Ahmed Arif - Oy Havar (Yangınlar)

Yangınlar, kahpe fakları, korku çığlıkları
Ve irin selleri aç yırtıcılar
Suyu zehir bıçaklar ortasındasın
Bir cana bir başa kalmışsın vay vay

Pasatsız duldasız üryan
Bir cana bir de başa
Seher vakti leylim leylim
Cellat nişangahlar aynasındasın

Oy sevmişem ben seni
Üsküdar'dan bu yana lo kimin yurdu
He canım, çiçek dağı kıtlık kıran
Gül açmaz çağla dökmez

Vurur çakmak taşı kayalarıyla
Küfrünü medetsiz Munzur
Sahmurat suyu kan akar
Ve ben şairim

Namus işçisiyim yani, yürek işçisi
Korkusuz pazarlıksız, kül elenmemiş
Ne salkım bir bakış, resmin çekeyim
Ne kinsiz bir rüzgar, mısra dökeyim

Oy sevmişem ben seni !
Ve sen daha demincek
Yıllarda geçse demincek
Bıçaklanış dal gibi ayrı düştüğüm

Ömrümüm sebebi ustam, sevgilim
Yaram derine gitmiş
Fitil tutmaz bilirim
Ama hesap dağlarladır, umut dağlarla

Düşün uzay çağında bir ayağımız
Ham çarık kil çorapta olsa da biri
Düşün olasılık, atom fiziği
Ve bizi biz eden amansız sevda

Atıp bir kıyıya bir zamanı
Yarının çocukları gülleri için
Herbirinin ayva tüyü için çilleri icin
Koymuş postasını, görmüş restini

He canım, sen getir üstünü
Oy Havar, Muhammed İsa aşkına
Yattığım ranza aşkına
Deeey dagları un eder ferhadin gürzü

Benim de boş yanım hançer yalımı
Ve zulamda kan ter içinde ası
He desem koparacak dizginlerini
Yediveren gül kardeşi bir arzu

Oy sevmişem ben seni

Ahmed Arif - Hasretinden Prangalar Eskittim

Ard arda bilmem kaç zemheri geçti
Kurt uyur kuş uyur zindan uyurdu
Dışarda gürül gürül akan bir dünya

Bir ben uyumadım
Kaç bahar leylim
Hasretinden prangalar eskittim

Karanlık gecelerde kendimden geçtim
Saçlarına kan gülleri takayım
Bir o yandan bir bu yandan

Elma yanaktan
Açar kankırmızı yedi verenler
Kar yağıyor bir yandan

Savrulur Karaca dağı savrulur Zozan
Bak bıyığım buz tuttu
Üşüyorum ben

Zemheri de uzadıkça uzadı
Seni baharmışsın gibi düşünüyorum
Seni Diyarbekir gibi düşünüyorum

Ahmed Arif - Gün Ola (Alnındaki Yaradan)

Alnındaki yaradan
Boşaldı belki bütünkanın
Fakat nehirlerin akıyor
Dağların rüzgarı

Bak yine çarpıyor kalbin
Ortaında kavganın
Günola devran döne
Umut yetişe

Dağlarının dağlarının ardında
Değil öyle yoksulluklar hasret ile
Bir tek başak tanesi susuz kalmayacak
Bir tek zeytin dalı bile yalnız

Sıkıysa yağmasın yağmur
Sıkıysa uyanmasın dağ
Bu yürek ne güne vurur
Ne güne

Bu yürek ne güne vurur
Bu yürek
Günola devran döne
Umut yetişe

Ahmed Arif - De Be Aslan Karam

Çarpmış
Paramparça etmiş
Kara sütü kara sevdayla seni
Ve kara memelerinde dişlerin asi
Karadır upuzun yattığın gece
Felek ah ettirir boynun kıl ince
Cihanlar çocuklar kuşlar içinde
Sızlar bir yerlerin
Adsız ve kayıp
Sızlar usul usul dargın
Ve kan tadında bir konca
Damıtır kendini mısralarınca

De be aslan karam
De yiğit karam
Hangi kalemin yazısı
Zorlu yazısı
Belanda

Anadan doğma nişan mı
Sütlü barut damgası mı
Bir gece parçası mı kaburgandaki
Kız kakülü ne hal eylermiş teni
Ellerin deli hoyrat
Ellerin susuz yangın
Ellerin ooooy alarga

De be aslan karam
De yiğit karam
Hangi güzelin diş yeri
Mavi diş yeri
Sevdanda

Vurmuş
Demirlerin çapraz gölgesi
Alnın galip ve serin
Künyen çizileli kaç yıldız uçtu
Kaç ayva sarardı kaç kız sevişti
Gelmemiş kimselerin

De be aslan karam
De yiğit karam
Hangi zehirin meltemi
Saran meltemi
Hülyanda

Hakikatli dostun muydu
Can koyduğun ustan mıydı
Bir uyumaz hasmın mıydı
Ooooof de bunlar olsun muydu

De be aslan karam
De yiğit karam
Hangi kahpenin hançeri
Saklı hançeri
Yaranda

Ahmed Arif - Ay Karanlık (Maviye Çalar)

Maviye maviye çalar gözlerin
Yangın mavisine
Rüzgarda asi
Körsem
Senden gayrısına yoksam
Bozuksam
Can benim düş benim
Ellere nesi
Hadi gel
Ay karanlık

İtten aç yılandan çıplak
Vurgun ve bela
Gelip durmuşsam kapına
Var mı ki doymazlığım
İlle de ille
Sevmelerim sevmelerim gibisi
Oturmuş yazıcılar
Fermanım yazar
N'olur gel
Ay karanlık

Dört yanım puşt zulası
Dost yüzlü dost gülücüklü
Cigaramdan yanar
Alnım öperler
Suskun hayın çıyansı
Dört yanım puşt zulası
Dönerim dönerim çıkmaz
En leylim gecede ölesim tutmuş
Etme gel
Ay karanlık

Ahmed Arif - Anadolu (Beşikler Vermişim)

Beşikler vermişim Nuh'a
Salıncaklar hamaklar
Havva Ana'n dünkü çocuk sayılır
Anadolu'yum ben tanıyor musun

Utanırım utanırım fukaralıktan
Ele güne karşı çıplak
Üşür fidelerim harmanım kesat
Kardeşliğin çalışmanın beraberliğin
Atom güllerinin katmer açtığı
Şairlerin bilginlerin dünyalarında
Kalmışım bir başıma
Bir başıma ve uzak biliyor musun

Binlerce yıl sağılmışım
Korkunç atlılarıyla parçalamışlar
Nazlı seher sabah uykularımı
Hükümdarlar saldırganlar haydutlar
Haraç salmışlar üstüme
Ne İskender takmışım
Ne şah ne sultan
Göçüp gitmişler gölgesiz
Selam etmişim dostuma
Ve dayatmışım görüyor musun

Nasıl severim bir bilsen
Köroğlu'nu Karayılanı Meçhul Asker'i
Sonra Pir Sultan'ı ve Bedrettin'i
Sonra kalem yazmaz bir nice sevda
Bir bilsen onlar beni nasıl severdi
Bir bilsen Urfa'da kurşun atanı
Minareden barikattan selvi dalından
Ölüme nasıl gülerdi
Bilmeni mutlak isterim duyuyor musun

Öyle yıkma kendini
Öyle mahzun öyle garip
Nerede olursan ol
İçerde dışarda derste sırada
Yürü üstüne üstüne
Tükür yüzüne celladın
Fırsatçının fesatçının hayının
Dayan kitap ile dayan iş ile
Tırnak ile diş ile
Umut ile sevda ile düş ile
Dayan rüsva etme beni

Gör nasıl yeniden yaratılırım
Namuslu genç ellerinle
Kızlarım oğullarım var gelecekte
Her biri vazgeçilmez cihan parçası
Kaç bin yıllık hasretimin koncası
Gözlerinden gözlerinden öperim
Bir umudum sende anlıyor musun

Ahmed Arif - Akşam Erken İner Mahpushaneye

Akşam erken iner mahpushaneye
Ejderha olsan kar etmez
Ne kavgada ustalığın
Ne de çatal yürek civan oluşun
Kar etmez inceden içine dolan
Alıp götüren hasrete

Akşam erken iner mahpushaneye
İner yedi kol demiri Yedi kapıya
Birden ağlamaklı olur bahçe
Karşıda duvar dibinde
Üç dal gece sefası
Üç kök hercai menekşe

Aynı korkunç sevdadadır
Gökte bulut dalda kaysı
Başlar koymağa hapislik
Karanlık can sıkıntısı
Kürdün Gelini'ni söyler maltada biri
Bense voltadayım ranza dibinde
Ve hep olmayacak şeyler kurarım
Gülünç acemi çocuksu

Vurulsam kaybolsam derim
Çırılçıplak bir kavgada
Erkekçe olsun isterim
Dostluk da düşmanlık da
Hiçbiri olmaz halbuki
Geçer süngüler namluya
Başlar gece devriyesi jandarmaların

Hırsla çakarım kibriti
İlk nefeste yarılanır cigaram
Bir duman alırım dolu
Bir duman kendimi öldüresiye
Biliyorum 'sen de mi' diyeceksin
Ama akşam erken iniyor mahpushaneye
Ve dışarda delikanlı bir bahar
Seviyorum seni çıldırasıya

Ahmed Arif - Adiloş Bebe

Varamaz elim
Ayvasına narına can dayanamazken
Kırar boynumu yürürüm
Kurdun kuşun bileceği hal değil
Sormayın hiç
Laaaal
Kara ferman çıkadursun yollara
Yarin bahçesi tarumar
Kan eder perçem

Olancası bir tutam can
Kadasına belasına sunduğum
Ben öleydim looy
Elim boş
Ayağım pusu
Bir ben bileceğim oysa
Ne afat sevdim
Bir de ağzı var dili yok
Diyarbekir Kalesi

Açar
Kan kırmızı yediverenler
Ve kar yağar bir yandan
Savrulur Karacadağ
Savrulur zozan
Bak bıyığım buz tuttu
Üşüyorum da
Zemheri de uzadıkça uzadı
Seni baharmışın gibi düşünüyorum
Seni Diyarbekir gibi
Nelere nelere baskın gelmez ki
Seni düşünmenin tadı

Hamravat suyu dondu
Diclede dört parmak buz
Biz kuyudan işliyoruz kaba kacağa
Çayı kardan demliyoruz
Anam sır gibi saklar siyatiğini
Yel der baharın geçer
Bacım ikicanlı ağır
Güzel kızdır bilirsin
İlki bu bir yandan saklı utanır
Ve bir yandan korkar
Ölürüm deyi
Bir can daha çoğalacağız bu kış
Bebeğim neremde saklayım seni
Hoş gelir
Safa gelir
Ahmed Arif'in yeğeni

Doğdun
Üç gün aç tuttuk
Üç gün meme vermedik sana
Adiloş Bebem
Hasta düşmeyesin diye
Töremiz böyle diye
Saldır şimdi memeye
Saldır da büyü

Bunlar
Engerekler ve çıyanlardır
Bunlar
Aşımıza ekmeğimize
Göz koyanlardır
Tanı bunları
Tanı da büyü

Bu namustur
Künyemize kazınmış
Bu da sabır
Ağulardan süzülmüş
Sarıl bunlara
Sarıl da büyü

Ahmad - We Want The Funk

{if you didn't come to dance, then you don't want the funk} - *2x*

{if you didn't come to dance, then you don't want the funk}
{we want the funk!} - *both 4x*

[ahmad]
Dig it the mic is mine I'm the incredible man, with the gift of gab
And when I speak you'll be doin the freak
So if, you don't want the funk then you a punk
Everybody out of they chairs should go for theirs, and
If you can find anyone better or as bad as mine
That's thick as a dreadlock and rocks like lenny kravitz
Then you done great, you done good
Wait I hope they told you, I'll explode to any track
I'm back on top, ready to drop bombs
I'm the only rapper that can rap like this, then do the twist
So hold up wait a minute let put the boom back in it
To show the joneses can win it, and that's my crew
That's my clan, that's my posse
The niggaz with the funky tunes, turn up the volume
All you ballers, with your six-four impalas
And bass comin out of your trunk, you better holla if you want the funk

{if you didn't come to dance, then you don't want the funk}
{we want the funk!} - *both 4x*

[ahmad]
Word now everybody get up, then sit back down and yell (ho!)
The niggarole's back with a verse and it gets worse
By worse I mean better than you and I can do
Crews and never lose in fights because I write
And flip scripts I rip up punks and do a cheer
Think I'd ring the funk bell yell (party over here!)
Now peep what I wrought and maybe I even got
A million funk styles for ya bay-bay
In stacks so when I rap the claps come
Through I'm new but been hearin cheers for years and
Fear is a mindstate, I rip up raps and do up dance stuff
The great ahmad, if you agree then nod
Your head like this or like that I can rap with anyone
And still won't fall, I do it all
So y'all kids with tapes on your shelves and
Twelves boomin out of your trunk, you better yell if you want the funk

{if you didn't come to dance, then you don't want the funk}
{we want the funk!} - *both 6x*

[ahmad]
Well I'm still kickin the funk, don't believe it you don't have to
But, bet a buck, you gon' believe it when I leave it stuck
Imprinted, through a rhyme I invented
To indent your skull cause I got soul
Everybody get ready, then set go and when I let go
Of the microphone, get your jam on
But one more thing before I sing cause I'm fat
And ask for you please get off your rump
And scream if you want the funk

{if you didn't come to dance, then you don't want the funk}
{we want the funk!} - *tekrar 4x*

{if you didn't come to dance, then you don't want the funk}
{party over here, bust you over there} - *2x*
*hepsi tekrar 8x*

{if you didn't come to dance, then you don't want the funk} - *2x*

{if you didn't come to dance..} {we want the funk!}

{give me that funky baby, give me that funk} - {we want the funk!}
*tekrar 8x*

{if you didn't come to dance, then you don't want the funk}
{we want the funk!}

Ahmad - The Jones’

Don't let the jones' get you down

(get you down)
(don't let the jone's get you down)

[ bölüm 1 ]
Thinkin well it's the niggaroe back with my crew
Now what you wanna do
The jones', we on this, mic
So we'll fight to the finish
But I don't need spinach for me to do this
Pride in givin niggas pop-eyes, I'm large as buddhist
Rappers wanna be down, cause they think that I'm better than
They, but I'll be ok-solo like the letterman
Use my common sense to boom-shalaklak-boom
Then lock the room, get busy as I get busy
Sayin don't let the jones' get you...
But I'll hit you where it hurts, made you relapse in curves
When I throw verbs and nouns, any sound that I spit up
I have battle rappers usin they clappers because they don't wanna get up
They all wanna be like me, and so they re-write
Them wack-ass raps that they make and try to fake
So I break bones and holler jones' forever
Cleverest shit around
But don't ever let us get you down

[ bölüm 2 ]
Well, everybody says, 'mad, what are the jones'?
Well, let's see, it's a posse, true, and it's a crew
But not really, so what I'm gonna do
Is combine em all and find a title that'll fit
We're a group of money makers from the west that be runnin shit
Fly like a discus, don't miss this, cause it's me, and
I win fights with more mic energy than a pre-amp
They listen to ahmad and the jones' in here rock
And roll with soul, then wanna copy like a xerox
Cause I mic-check and never once sound like das at all
>from a superman crew, so I do the impossible
Droppin y'all wack crews like missiles, then I whistle
Kendal'll bring the 808 until the party say, the great
'mad is the king of the ring, because I bring
Funk that shakes the ground
But don't ever let us get you down

(and everybody wanna be like us
I think it's cause we on this mic
We're the jones', so)
Don't let the jones' get you down

[ bölüm 3 ]
Kick it, I'm back, never can lose, I'm the man when I wanna
Might gruff on rappers get ran like jackie joyner
The jones' everybody wanna be us, they be jockin
Cause we rockin the boat and in control like a remote
So I pack a 38-page rap book, put your gun away
And yell 'truce!' before I have to get loose and run away
With the title I've already won, don't mean to brag
Kendal blew up like a rocket, and I get down like a sag
I nag rappers that don't follow my lead, and if they need
Assistance they get dragged the distance in a bag
The jones' for life, throw up a j if they ever say
Who's runnin this town
But don't ever let us get you down

Don't let the jones' get you down

Ahmad - Ordinary People

Ordinary people

[ bölüm 1 ]
Oops, I guess I should stop singin and start bringin the funk
The niggeroe sings a rap and have you clappin
I gets busy, cause I never fall, I excel
Never takin no shorts, so here's my tall tale
Once upon the clock
It was hard growing up with no pops
But moms did the supernatural, very
Extra-ordinary
Person that she is
She finished college, three kids at home cryin
But never got fed up, and kept her head up
'i shoot for the sky' is what she said, it
Got embedded
In my skull
That's how I got soul
To reach ya through your speaker
My mother alone helped me to be me
So that's my role model, not an idiot on tv
Used to do it like this
And like that, and like this
But since she never let me join a gang
I couldn't g thang
So for all her prayers at night under the church steeple
I give thanks to my mother, one of those very extra-ordinary people

[ bölüm 2 ]
Now dig it, 2-(4)-6-8
I guess that I appreciate
And consider that niggas who work hard is the superstars
(ordinary) people with families, that have kids
Should be put on a pedestal, not average
Treatment for our mother and fathers, and if you ask me
I'll say: you put your family first, before an athlete
But everybody wanna be somebody special, who
Can grab a microphone, or put a ball through a hoop
And it's okay to like mike
Even I would, if I drank gatorade
But I'm too busy funkin your trunk with all this 808
To worry about that, I'm worried bout this
If you agree, then pump your fist
If you're proud (say it loud!)
To show you're pissed
Off at the news and media, because they swear
That all black people are menaces and holler and cheer
But since there's so many others that want justice, I know we will
Start respectin others as brothers and come together, all of the...
Ordinary people

[ bölüm 3 ]
Ordinary people make the world turn
I learned that if you work hard in life
Then it counts the way the balls bounce
I wrote this to give a message, I'll be glad if it
Switches your goal from bein a gangsta to a graduate
And if you listened close to what I said, you learned a lesson, and
Heard that all the average jones' are no greater, or no lesser than
Stars, cause all we all are is equal
So shut off your tv set, and show respect to some of the...
Ordinary people

Ahmad - Can I Party?

Heh whassup?
Here we go, here we go, here we go
One two for the money
Or the show then three for the s-e
Hah hah, whassup?
It's ahmad, my man mau' made the track

[ahmad]
Well it's the niggerole, pump one more time
The jeeps I rock will never stop playin for keeps
And got more soul than a ghost I have mostly everybody up
The masses movin asses so let the beat hit
And it ain't gon' quit 'til you stop and say (no)
Cause I get more (ho!) than +hip-hop hooray+
I rock steady, steady rocks don't wanna box with god
Because I'm cool, givin props to the old school
And the west coast, who just toasted the return
Of the funk with the fat beats for your trunk (so)
I walk and I stalk and I caulk(? ) and I blast
Then I dip to the party, find me a honey and tag that ass
I saw a puerto rican freak who was all that
Tight pants for dancin, told her we gotta lambada
No restin yet black, cause here I am
Askin the question - can I party if I need to jam?

[nakarat-tekrar2x]
So can I party if I want to? (yeah you can party)
Now can I party if I need to? (yeah you can party)
Can I party if it's essential and necessary
I'm addicted, I gotta have it, then I gotta have it (say what? )

[ahmad]
It's the return of the incredible man
Who stands firm and rips up fakes without a cape
I'm great, I paid dues, kid how dare you respect me not
I had to get a tetanus shot cause fools bit but
Now I'm back on deck, ready to wreck
And swing at every pitch til I'm rich (whoo!)
And that's not long because I got a new song to sing
Throne the king cause all the fools just stepped loose (ooh)
Back to the party at hand, I want you movin and groovin
Workin that ass, havin a blast
I'm fast on the feel so pass the pill
To the kid that rocks, everybody jockin stop then
Throw your hands up and wave 'em from left to right
If you like the niggarole say (ho!)
But you know, no restin yet, cause here I am
Askin the question - can I party if I need to jam?

[nakarat]

[ahmad]
Kick it what did I say? (get up!) think you better (get up!)
Part efficient in circumfrence and if you don't jump
Touch the ceiling with the center of your palm, use your right arm
Everybody standin, should love my sound cause it's too down
Or three, might be four, fifty-six, maybe one more
To blow, might I flow, can I go, I'm that one so
Bumrush the doors, keep the doors locked
All I need's a small flock of fans, hands move to the bam-boom
Of the bass drum, when you hear the thump of the bass
Jump while you're actin dumb, yell where you come from
(west coast) with the new soul scenario
(just fo') us to control your stereo
Ahmad I flip and rip kids and crews to shreds
Mau' will lay a beat down like the feds
I guess all should say yes y'all cause here I am
Askin the question - can I party if I need to jam?

[nakarat]

[ahmad]
Whassup? that's ahmad and the joneses
We on this mic, for the ninety-three, to the ninety-four
And more

Ahmad - Back In The Day

Giriş:

Jerome! jerome! put on that bobby womack!
Nah girl I wanna go way back, ahh yeah check this out
*needle is put to the groove on a dusty record*

Back in the days when I was young I'm not a kid anymore
But some days I sit and wish I was a kid again
Back in the days when I was young I'm not a kid anymore
But some days I sit and wish I was a kid again
Back in the days

Bölüm 1:

When I just a little niggerole
I looked up to my bigger bro
Begged if I could kick it so
When he went out with girls I could go taggin along
Naggin if she had a sis maybe could mack a baby hoodrat
Y'all remember way back then, when it was 1985
All the way live, I think I was about ten
One of those happy little niggaz singin the blues
That be always tryin to bag with the shag (and karate shoes)
Sayin yo momma black, his momma this, his momma that
Then he get mad and wanna scrap
We stay mad about, ten minutes then it's like back on the bike
To play hide and go get it with the younger hoes by the bungaloes
Then switch to playin ding dong ditch, when that gets
Old and too cold to hack it, threw on a bomber jacket
You could tell the ballers cuz they bell wearin gazelles
If they really had money raised be sportin bk's
And, all the girls had they turkish link
If it broke then they made earrings to it, like they meant to do it
But, sometimes, I still sit and reminesce
Then, think about the years I was raised, back in the days

Nakarat:

Back in the days when I was young I'm not a kid anymore
But some days I sit and wish I was a kid again
Back in the days when I was young I'm not a kid anymore
But some days I sit and wish I was a kid again
(and everybody say) (I remember way back when)
(and everybody say) (I remember way back when)
(and everybody say) (I remember way back when)
(what? ) (back in the day) (when? ) (back in the day)

Bölüm 2:

I'm still back in the days, but now the year is '87
'88 that's when my crew and I were in junior high
In 7th grade, I hated school (wish it'd blow up)
No doubt I couldn't wait to get out (and be a grownup)
But let me finish this reminescin and tellin
Bout when girls was bellin tight courderoys like for the boys
Basket weaves, nike court airs, and footsie socks
And eatin pickles, with tootsie pops
And it don't stop, I'm glad cuz when j.j. fad hit
Supersonic it was kinda like a sport to wear biker shorts
Or, to wear jeans and it seemed like the masses
Of hoochies, had poison airbrushes on they asses
Dudes, had on nike suits, and the pumas with
The fat laces, cuz it was either that or k-swiss
I miss those days, and so I pout like a grown jerk
Wishin all I had to do now, was finish homework
It's true, you don't realize really what you got til it's gone
And I'm not, gonna sing another sad song, but
Sometimes I do sit and reminesce then
Think about the years I was raised, back in the days

Nakarat:

(and everybody say) (I remember way back when)
(and everybody say) (I remember way back when)
(and everybody say) (I remember way back when)
(what? ) (back in the day) (when? ) (back in the day)

Bölüm 3:

Well, it's the niggerole, I figure that now I'm all grown up
Because I'm eighteen years old, and guess you could say I'm holdin
Down a steady job and crew steady mobbin
You steady bobbin your head and I'm paid, so I got it made
But, didn't always have clout, used to live in south central l.a.
That's where I stayed and figured a way out
I gave it all I had so for what it's worth
I went, from rags to riches which is a drag but now I'm first
So (ahmad and the jones' is on our way up)
Yup, we said that we was gonna make it since a kid
And we finally did, but
Sometimes I still sit and reminesce, then
Think about the years I was raised, back in the days

Nakarat:

(and everybody say) (I remember way back when)
(and everybody say) (I remember way back when)
(and everybody say) (I remember way back when)
(what? ) (back in the day) (when? ) (back in the day)

(and everybody say) (I remember way back when)
(and everybody say) (I remember way back when)
(and everybody say) (I remember way back when)
(what? ) (back in the day) (when? ) (back in the day)

A-ha - You’ll Never Get Over Me

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

A-ha - You’ll End Up Crying

You'll end up crying
With your mother's eyes
Pretend you can't see yourself
Could have been better
Could have been worse
You could have been yourself

Brought up in mom's arms
Nowhere to fall
Now you're out climbing
Taking it all

You'll end up crying
With your mother's eyes
Suffer that moment's pain
Could have done better
Could have done worse
Lost in your love for more

Now you're out climbing
And you should know
You'll end up crying
Wherever you may go

Brought up in mom's arms
Nowhere to fall
Now you're out climbing
Climbing to fall

You'll end up crying
With your mother's eyes
Something is lost from the start
Could have been better
Could have been worse
You're going to need me there

A-ha - You Are The One

You are the one who has done me
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 the state I'm in!
Catching you was so hard
I fought for you, did you let me win!?
Don't even care, 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
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!

A-ha - X-mas Time (Blows My Mind)

Give things best forgiven
Solve things best resolved
Why wait untill tomorrow ?
Get things best forgotten
Move things best removed
Get it done tomorrow

A-ha - We’re Looking For The Whales

One left low left two who left high
They seem so hard to find
Three came twice took once the time
To search...
We're looking for a little bewildered girl
We're looking for a little bewildered girl
We're looking for the whales

Restlessness is in our genes
Time won't wear it off
Born into this world with our eyes
wide open

Girl
We're looking for a little bewildered girl
We're looking for a little bewildered girl
We're looking for the whales

I found angels
Beached outside your doors
Don't you set those lonely eyes on me
We're looking for the whales
We're looking for the whales...

A-ha - Velvet

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...

A-ha - 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 and pleased to find me there

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 itself

Me I'm touchy - Touchy you
Me I'm touchy
And you know what to do
Me I'm touchy
Touchy, touchy you
Touching love is the best I can do
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

A-ha - Thought That It Was You

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

A-ha - This Alone Is Love

This alone is love
No small thing
This alone is love
That my love brings

And all of us
Who are travelling by trap-doors
Our souls are a myriad of wars
And I'm losing everyone

It will make my last breath pass out at dawn
It will make my body dissolve out in the blue
Oh baby, what can we do.

A-ha - There’s Never A Forever Thing

Dearest...
Close your eyes now
Don't you cry
It's all right

Lie back
Leave the lights on
It's all right, dear

I'll be here through the night
With you till the first signs of light
Say the word and I'll come tonight

It's all right now
Don't you cry now
Hush...
Wipe your tears away
There's never a forever thing

All through the night
I'll try so hard to be there somehow
With you till the first signs of light
Say the word and I'll come
Tonight

Darling, don't you
Cry.

A-ha - The Weight Of The Wind

Your face looked new against the town
You've come to lose some memories
Like you came to touch new grounds

But you want to lose
The weight of the wind
Rests hard on your shoulders
It's bringing you down
The one that you love
Will never be found

You speak into the falling rain
Words you'd lost, but found again
I see their snakey arms entwined
So clear and cruel
In your jealous mind

But you've got to lose
The weight of the wind
Hard on your shoulders
Getting you down
The one that you love
Will never be found

A-ha - The Sun Never Shine That Day

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

A-ha - 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 off
My ever worried mind
All my powers waste away
I fear the crazed and lonely looks
The mirror's sending me
These Days

CHORUS

Please don't ask me to defend
The shamefull lowlands
Of the way I'm drifting
Gloomily through time
(Touch me)
I reached inside myself today
(Give all your love)
Thinking there's got to be some way
To keep my troubles distant

CHORUS

Hold me
Close to your heart
Touch me
And give all your love to me, to me...

A-ha - 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 tight 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

A-ha - The Company Man

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

A-ha - The Blood That Moves The Body

It's the way we feel
Tonight
As if it's all unreal
All right
My love, won't you come back to
Our love, you know I'll react to
The blood that moves my body
Now covers the ground
The blood that moves the body
The blood that moves the body

There's nowhere to go
Tonight
Lend some warmth to our cold
And lonely lives
Red stains on 'Eyes Of A Blue DogMy pains fade as the interiors fog
The blood that moves my body
Now colours the ground
The blood that moves the body
The blood that moves the 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

A-ha - 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.

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

A-ha - Summer Moved On

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

A-ha - Stay On These Roads

The cold has a voice
It talks to me
Stillborn, by choice
It airs no need to hold

Old man feels the cold...
Oh baby don't
'cause I've been told

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 feels the cold
Oh baby don't
'cause I've been told

Stay on these roads
We shall meet, I know
Stay on...my love
You feel so weak, be strong
Stay on, stay on
We shall meet, I know
I know
I know, my love, I know

Feel the cold
Winter's calling on my home..

A-ha - Soft Rains Of April

The soft rains of April are over
The soft rains of April are over, over

Anybody home now
I am on the phone now, please...
The soft rains of April are over
The ferry across the water to Dover, over

Anybody home now
I am on the phone, oh I'd like to go back
Is it raining back home
I'm so alone

Just got up today
And my thoughts are miles away
With you

Well, they gave me four years
Three more to go
Keep writing letters
Time's passing so slow

So soft rains of April are over
The soft rains of April are over
Over

A-ha - Shapes That Go Together

When you were wrapped in tangles
I was free
And when you were undecided
I believed
It's alright, tonight
On a deep blue mountain high
The shapes that go together
You and I

When you were filled with longing
I belonged
When you were weak from trying
I was strong
But it's alright, tonight
On a deep blue mountain high

The shapes that go together
You and I
The shapes that go together
You and I

Childhood winters
Come to me
Whisper softly
So tenderly

I know, I walked 25 miles to hold you
Just to find you'd moved away

When you were wrapped in tangles
I was free
And when you were almost blinded
I could see
But it's alright, tonight
On a deep blue mountain high

The shapes that go together
You and I
The shapes that go together
You and I
You and I (The shapes that go together)

A-ha - Out Of Blue Comes Green

Father
My wings are clipped
See the steps that made me trip
Now I'm so lonely

Mother
Time's frozen flame
Seem to linger in the rain
Holding me only

Like a river I'm flowing
And there's no way of knowing
If I'm coming or going
I need something to chain me down

But it don't matter
My eyes have seen...
For better
Out of blue comes green

Mother
I have gone wrong
Work my fingers to the bone
All I've been doing
Father
Proud that I am
To be born into such hands
Your love so renewing

And I know I can lose it
Part of life...you can't choose it
As I touched the horizon
It just felt like I'd die soon

Don't matter
My eyes have seen
For better
Out of blue comes green

A-ha - October

Dawn awaits a sleepless, English town
Of coloured gray
Here I roam the streets without you
As summer fades away

...down in the city at nights
The cold wind blows

Wherever you may be right now
It must be getting late
You're probably asleep already
I am wide awake

...down in the city at nights

'Don't be lonelyso you've told me
But don't you worry now
Loneliness can be ignored
And time has shown me how

... down in the city at nights
I'm missing you so much
Down in the city
Down in the city...

A-ha - 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
Gonna move to Memphis and follow you
Trace that highway
Down to your doorway
Gonna move to 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
Gonna move to Memphis
And be with you

I'm gonna be with you
I'm gonna be with you
Gonna move to Memphis

Move to Memphis
That's what I'll do
Move to Memphis to be with you
I'm gonna be with you
I'm gonna be with you
Gonna move to Memphis!

A-ha - Minor Earth Major Sky

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

A-ha - Memorial Beach

Angel, angel or so
Wherever you may go
Hmm, yeah...
I'll follow
Wherever you may go:

And always will I be there
Shake worries from your hair
Hmm, yeah...
I'll be there
Always:

Angel, angel or so
Wherever you may go
Hmm, yeah...
I'll follow
Wherever you may go:

You're my angel in the snow
You're my angel in the snow

A-ha - Maybe Maybe

Maybe you were joking
When you said that you were
walking out on me
Maybe, maybe

Maybe I was joking
When I said that I was running out on you
Maybe, maybe

I could be wrong, so wrong
I could be wrong, so wrong
I could be wrong

I don't know, but it's been said
Decisions travel far from heart to head
Maybe, maybe

Maybe it was over
When you chucked me out the
Rover at full speed
Maybe, maybe oh baby

I could be wrong, so wrong
I could be wrong, so wrong
I could be wrong, so wrong

A-ha - Mary Ellen Makes The Moment Count

Mary cries out: 'for the love of GodAs 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

A-ha - 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
Don't want to cry again
I don't want to say goodbye
Don't wanna cry again
I don't wanna run away
I 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

You know
I don't want to fall again
I don't wanna know this pain
I don't want another friend
I don't wanna try again
Don't want to see you hurt
Don't let me see you hurt
I don't wanna cry again
I'll never see your face again

How can you say
That I didn't try
You know I did
You see things
in the depths of my eyes
That my love's run dry
(I don't wanna cry again...)

...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

A-ha - Locust

Don't be afaid
It's a harmless moon
All we can do
Is to assume

Our lives must change
A change is due
I hear you say
What are we gonna do

I don't know - make it
I don't know - shake it
I don't know - break it down
What are we wanna do
I don't know - make it
I don't know - shake it
I don't know - break it down

O' weeping night
O' grieving sky
O' rabbit wind
You just flew by

Grant me this
Some small reward
Don't announce
The time of the final call

My dream was this:
Across the sky
A slate-grey cloud
That filled the eye

...a slate-grey cloud...
Comes through the dust -
Locust

Dont' be afraid
It's a harmless moon

A-ha - Little Black Heart

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

A-ha - Lifelines

One time to know that it's real
One time to know how it feels
That's all
One call - your voice on the phone
One place - a moment alone
That's all

What do you see?
What do you know?
What sign?

Just follow your lifeline through
What if you hate?
Watch youre back
What do we do?
What do you say?
Don't throw your lifeline away

Don't throw your lifeline away

One time - just once in my life
Yeah - One time - to know it can happen twice
One shot of a clear blue sky
One look - I see no reasons why you can't
One chance to be back
To the point where everything starts
Once chance to keep it together
Things fall apart
Once sign to make us believe it's true

What do you see?
Where do we go?
What sign?
How do we grow?
By letting your lifeline show
What if we do? What up to now?
What do you say?
How do I know?
Don't let your lifeline go

Don't let your lifeline go

Don't let your lifeline go

A-ha - Lifeline

What do you say?
Don't throw your lifelines away
Don't throw your lifelines away

One time - just once in my life
One time- to know it can happen twice
One shot of a clear blue sky
One look - I see no reasons why you can't
One chance to be back
To the point where everything starts
Once chance to keep it together
Things fall apart
Once I make us believe it's true

What do we see?
Where do we go?
What are the signs?
How do we grow?
By letting your lifelines show
What if we do? What up to now?
What do you say?
How do I know?
Don't let your lifeline go
Don't let your lifeline go
Don't let your lifeline go

A-ha - 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 have realized

It wasn't the rain
That made no difference
And I could have sworn it wasn't me
Yet I did it all so coldly
...almost slowly
Plain for all to see

Oh c'mon please now
Talk to me
Tell me; things I could find helpful
How can I stop now...
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 wreck me
Preying on my mind

So, 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

A-ha - I Won’t Forget Her

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

A-ha - I Wish I Cared

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)

A-ha - 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 fire and rain
Through wilderness and pain
Through the losses, through the gains
On love's roller coaster train
I call your name

...We used to laugh
Is the fire dying, babe
It hurts to ask

Let me hold you for awhile.

A-ha - Hurry Home

Hurry home
Freight train running
I've been gone
Too long, honey
Why did I waste away
The only good thing left to save me

Hurry home
Freight train running
She's alone
Got no money
(She's alone...she got no money
Coming home, I've done my running)
Coming home
No more running
Why now should I deny
The only true thing left inside me
Coming home
No more running

I'm doing right
For once in my life now
I'm doing right
For once in my life now
No more running...
(He's doing right!)

(Rolling countries... fields unfolding
I swear the winds are calling)

So I hurry home
No more running
She's all alone
She got no money
(She's alone...she got no money
coming home, I've done my running)
Why should I go and hide
The only true thing left inside me
Hurry home
Freight train running

A-ha - Hunting High And Low

Please don't hurt me
I have told you
All my love is all i've got
And tomorrow is the day
When I for your sake
I'm coming back

And you tell me
That i don't love you

I'm trying hard to make you jealous
Trying harder to make you stay
Days are longer
Night are crazy
It's so strange when you're away

And you tell me
That i don't love you
Please
Let me come to you
And stay this time

And you tell me
That i don't love you
Oh you know
That it's just not true

A-ha - Heaven’s Not For Saints

Heaven's not for saints
You only have one cup
Now you've filled it up
Let it go, babe - just let it go

Dimlit path ahead
The road is wide
But your eyes are red
Let it go, babe - just let it go

Child, my brother
My brother look around you
The night is calling you
Close to the edge
Who knows the distance
The distance when light fades away

The river knows the way
The father is your son
Life has just begun
Let it go, babe - just let it go

Child, my brother
My brother look around you
The night is calling you
Close to the edge
Who knows the distance
The distance when light fades away

Just let it go...
...'cos heaven's not for saints

A-ha - Forever Not Yours

Hold me tight, this is a lonely night
and i've hurt you babe, 'cause you're my light
Make me strong, just like you make me weak
and your hands reach out for me
even in your sleep

I'll soon be gone now
Forever not yours
It won't be long now
Forever not yours

Memories they keep coming through
The good ones hurt more than the bad ones do
The days were hot, and the nights were deep
And I miss you, babe
I miss you, babe

I'll soon be gone now
Forever not yours
It won't be long now
Forever not yours

I'll soon be gone now

It won't be long now
Forever not
Forever not yours

I'll soon be gone now
Forever not yours
It won't be long now
Forever not yours
I'll soon be gone now
Forever not yours
It won't be long now
Forever not yours

A-ha - East Of The Sun

Half of a letter
Tells half a story
The way I see it
It's half the worry
Where I came from
I forgot too soon...
East of the sun
And west of the moon

Money talks
And hey, I'm listening
I've lived without it
Enough to miss it
Where I'm going
I'll get there soon
East of the sun
And west of the moon

Ooh, never gonna get there later
You know, I wanna get there soon
Never gonna get there, baby
On a desert road to home
East of the sun
And west of the moon

Another day leaves me aching
I try to wake up
But something's breaking
Here inside me
Deep and hollow
A sound that no other sound could follow
I know the pain
Before the wound
East of the sun
And west of the moon

A-ha - 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
Time to worry now

You can start, but you cannot stop
You give in, but you can't give up
You can tell all your desperate jokes
To a world that puts your
Love on hold

Cry wolf
Time to worry
Cry wolf
Time to worry now

...the sunken-in eyes
And the pain in his cries
A shape in the dark...

Cry wolf
Time to worry
Cry wolf
Time to worry now

A-ha - Celice

Celice
It's in the way you hurt me
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 you can

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

Celice
It's on 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
I know that I'm alive
Celice
You sharpen all my sense
I know you're in my side

A-ha - Barely Hanging On

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
