Lyrics

She left me

by the house

She left me all alone and now

I can’t find myself

Now that she’s gone away

Gone to a place

And all these questions

about life and love

And now where can I turn

who can i trust

Cause I’m allowed

to find the secrets of life

I see so clearly

what she sacrificed

She was the one to tell me

that I needed to be safe and sound

Oh, but when I’m all alone

trying to find that place

and don’t know where

But I know that I’m allowed

to find the secrets of life

Yes I’m alive

to be the best in this solitude of mine

But don’t you know

can’t you see

that the fire is out

And when the burden releases

you will find yourself

Went into that darkness

there’s no peace I’ll find

Cause I’m allowed

to spread my wings up high

Don’t you know that we’re alive

to be the best in this solitude of ours

 

Lyrics by Hanne Vasshus

Melody by Hanne Vasshus & Simen Ytre-Arne

Oh, so many things just going on now

and oh, so many things I’d like to see

Come with me please

don’t be deceitful

I’ve been playing where

I should’t be playing now, baby

And you’ve been doing wrong

for ever so long

I´m trying to breath

I’m trying to hold on to you

I’m trying to speak

I’m trying to hold on to you

Waiting for the second time around now, baby

We’ve been moving back and forth
being late

Now what you wanna, what you

are you really gonna say

really gonna do

I’m trying to breath

Cause I´m trying to hold on to you

Cause there’s oh, so many things
just going on now

And oh, so many things I’d like to be

Come with me please

don’t be deceitful

Waiting for the second drop of tear to fall down your face

I’ve been waiting all this long to see your disgrace

Won’t you please come on in I’ll make you some tea

You see I’ve forsaken this I need some guarantees

Cause I’m drowning myself in this shame I have caused

No one under, no one near me

I’m the one who stands to fall

And I don’t know what the blackbird said or what the roses did

but it wasn’t in the chicken run or underneath the bed

I don’t know where to start it happened all to fast

I tried to prevent my soul from hurting you at last

Cause I’m drowning myself in this shame I have caused

No one under, no one near me

I’m the one who stands to fall

And I looked inside the summer house it wasn´t ever there

And I´ ve tried the Thames at Maidenhead and Brighton´s bracing air

won’t you say love me, love me

won’t you say love me, love me

love me

Cause I’m drowning myself in this shame I have caused

No one under, no one near me

I’m the one who stands to fall

And I don’t know what the blackbird said or what the roses did

but it wasn’t in the chicken run or underneath the bed

Favourite girl paints colours on her walls

a plan she’s been working on for long

Favourite girl can’t make it all alone

Favourite girl walks down the memory lane

Needs a colour to hide away the blame

of empty chairs and empty hearts of disguise

Cause nobody listens anymore

and the feeling just makes her insecure

Favourite girl remembers all the joy

of dipping her toes in the fresh blue

Favourite girl can’t always see the sun

Favourite girl been hiding all her tears

with a laughter of poverty and fear

Favourite girl can’t make it on her own

But she knows they won’t let her swear

an empty life around the fear

Oh, looking back her bottles getting wet

of losing face on what she now regrets

Favourite girl can’t make it to the test

But the need of becoming someone

to see and the thought of it all

Makes it tougher to breath

she lies awake

They can’t see

her fail

Favourite girl paints colors in her heart

Favourite girl paints pictures on her walls

Favourite girl can’t make it all alone

It wasn’t mine, my mistake

this time you did it all, by yourself

It isn’t easy to say goodbye

but I know that I needed to find a place

to call my own

We said goodbye, right at the door

our picture hanging on the wall

But this time you did something right

like you knew we couldn’t leave it all behind

So roll down the curtains let me drown

this isn’t how I thought it would feel to fall apart

make decisions

pay the price

oh, words can only heal if there’s something left to save

So please,

baby let me fall

you better let me fall

Another year or maybe less

I can’t recall cause it was a fucking mess

It was a good thing to let go

but this wound now can’t seem to find it’s soul

So take me deeper

make me harder

break me in pieces, don’t put me back in place

all shall pass

also this

We weren’t made to be

It wasn´t you and me

So please,

baby let me fall

you better let me fall

Run run run

you better run now child

Run run run

run away

I said run run run

you better run now child

run run run

run away

It’s been fifty years or more

since they took your land now child

And you’ve been running for that wall

ever since that day my child

But they’re never gonna let you go

No, they’ll never gonna loose their control

They sent you all to war

to protect the land my child

And they left your mother at home

to cry her tears out at night

but they’ll never gonna let you go
No, they’ll never gonna loose their control

No, they’ll never gonna let you go

No, they’ll never gonna loose their control

Cause they’ll never never gonna let you go No, they’ll never gonna lose their control

Forgive them for their sins

just run away my child

There’s no protection from
these walls

when they hold their hands up high

Run run run

you better run now child

I said run run run

run away

I said run run run

you better run now child

run run run

run away

I didn’t know

I didn’t feel

I didn’t know when i was right

what I felt

I stopped believing in myself

I would choose to die

Another phase

oh oh oh

you shot me

you shot me down

oh oh oh 

he shot me

he shot me down

oh oh oh

he shot me down

and I was dead dead dead

I didn’t know

I didn’t know

how it would be

I didn’t know that I would feel this for you

I didn’t know that I would be the one

laying in front of you

Well, I told you all my dreams last night

Yes, I told you I had dreams last night

and I told you that you were all fine

And then we slept in the bed all night

Morning, evening, all morning

ah aoh

And then we slept through the evenings

and the mornings and the dinners and the oh oh oh

But you shot me

you shot me down

oh oh oh

he shot me

he shot me down

oh oh oh

he shot me down

and I was dead

dead

dead

There was a time

there was this young girl

oh traveling the world

for her it seemed unfurled

She had a lust for life and love

and hoped that they were true

the word she heard above

oh, sister

She met a man

He was the blackest sun

he promised her gold and fun

now if she would be the one

She didn’t know if he was her dream

she cannot judge the things

she haven’t seen

oh, sister

oh, sister

oh, sister, don’t you cry

Sister

oh, sister

oh, sister, don’t you cry

She packed her bags

and moved to London town

In hope for happiness

and that he would wear the crown

He said oh, lover,

oh won’t you come over

She took her biggest chance

and went with open hands

To many things can make you fall apart

small little lies can break a broken heart

but I know that you’ll be safe

oh, oh sister, won’t you stay

oh, sister

How long am I suppose to wait

To feel your bliss

Keep me like a dog on a leach

I`m waiting for your kiss

I`ve been climbing these walls

You`re nowhere to be found

Played my heart like a sad old song

But you can hear my sound

This may be a house

But not a home

If I`m gonna feel this bad

I can do it alone

I gave you my best years, baby

You read me like a book

I opened up my heart like a page

You just rip them up

This may be a house

But not a home

If I`m gonna feel this bad

I can do it alone

This may be a house

But not a home

Breaking the spell for a thrill

Made by you

Well the storm is coming around

And nobody knows what you`ve done

This may be a house

But not a home

If I`m gonna feel this bad

I can do it alone

This may be a house

But not a home

If I`m gonna feel this bad

I can do it alone

This may be a house

But not a home

Lyrics by Hanne Vasshus & Malcolm Burn 

Melody by Hanne Vasshus 

When I neede you most you were there

Made me feel like the one you could care

By the time I was down I was up

Never knew when I had enough

This tree won`t stand any longer

These winds will sweep me away

I stood as strong as I could muster

It`s a hurricane

Cause ev`rything has changed now

Nothing is the same now

All I fell is shame now

You stripped me to the bone

Cause ev`rything has changed now

Nothing is the same now

Little left of me now

I rattle when I walk

There`s a house by the sea painted red

Where the waves clear the noise in my head

I`m a child, I`m a sister, I`m a friend

Not the ice queen you screamed when I left

This tree won`t stand any longer

These winds will sweep me away

I stood as strong as I could muster

It`s a hurricane

Cause ev`rything has changed now

Nothing is the same now

All I fell is shame now

You stripped me to the bone

Cause ev`rything has changed now

Nothing is the same now

Little left of me now

I rattle when I walk

I`m not the same girl you met in Oslotown

I was broke, didn`t know in or out

Faced my demons realised they were yours

I`m not uncertain not the least insecure

This tree can`t stand anylonger

These winds will sweep me away

I stood as strong as I could muster

It`s a hurricane

Cause ev`rything has changed now

Nothing is the same now

All I fell is shame now

You stripped me to the bone

Cause ev`rything has changed now

Nothing is the same now

Little left of me now

I rattle when I walk

Melody & lyrics by
Hanne Vasshus and Sandrine Burn 

Here we are once again

We`re all alone and we`re back where we began

Same old story same old song and dance

A broken record spinning `round

I`m out on the boardwalk

where the north wind blows

I look to the hill top

where the warm lights glow

I`ve made excuses in the past

For ev`ry time you put me down

Funny how I always stay for you

While you just walk away

I`m out on the boardwalk

where the north wind blows

I look to the hill top

where the warm lights glow

Is this just a bad dream or a passing phase

Once more will I wake up to your sleeping face

Melody & lyrics by Hanne Vasshus, Ida Jenshus and Malcolm Burn

All these incidental words don`t mean anything

But I want to let you know that you do for me

You strolled in my life when I sit and watch the candle burn

I think of you and me

You came into my life not like a storm at all my love

You just lifted me every time we talked

Maybe that you liked me very much indeed

Oh that was my fantasy

Cause oh when I look into those eyes

Well I get so carried away

they remind me of what I`m supposed to say

That I can feel so free

The hardest part is always in the endings where we meet

I have you a moment for myself before you need to run away

To be something more for someone else

And I just can`t hold myself back

Cause oh when I look into those eyes

Well I get so carried away

they remind me of what I`m supposed to say

That I can feel so free

But lately I`ve been thing

That this boat is sinking

Maybe we should talk

But oh then I look into those eyes

Well I get so carried away

they remind me of what I`m supposed to say

That I can feel so free

Yes oh when I look into your eyes

Well I get so carried away

they remind me of what I`m supposed to feel

That I can feel so free

Yes that I can feel me

Oh that I can be me

Melody & lyrics by Hanne Vasshus 

You told me be patient

Good things will come

I waited anticipated

Tough my mind said run

I blossomed under your

Warm Nordic sun

Then your cold winter swept

Turned my skies dark

And we thought we were in serendipity

Tried so hard that we lost along the way

If we get just a moment of sanity

Slip into serendipity

I hate my simple trust

I hate my love

I`d light a big bon fire

And burn them up

And we thought we were in serendipity

Tried so hard that we lost along the way

If we get just a moment of sanity

Slip into serendipity

Into the fire, into the fire

Find another way to bring me home

Into the fire, into the fire

Out the other side I can be strong

And we thought we were in serendipity

Tried so hard that we lost along the way

If we get just a moment of sanity

Slip into serendipity

And we thought we were in serendipity

Tried so hard that we lost along the way

If we get just a moment of sanity

Slip into serendipity

Slip into serendipity

Slip into serendipity

Melody & lyrics by Hanne Vasshus and Sandrine Burn

I should have known better than to fall

Somewhere inside me I knew it from the start

I was lost on my own when he offered his hand

I should have known better than to be fooled again

 

We stayed up for hours drank the night away

Talked of the future how the sun would shine our way

He was strong I got soft there was no game to play

But I should have known better than to be fooled again

 

In his eyes I saw a home

In his plans lied my soul

Oh everything becomes all right

When he calls me his wife

Oh I should have known better than to be fooled again

 

I wish I was wiser by the scars on my soul

I should`ve remembered all the nights that he stole

We made rules somewhere in Main as we walked in the rain

Oh I should have known better than to be fooled again

 

Find myself waiting for this man to call my own

Feel more alone than before I knew his hand

Gave him all that I had believed every word he said

I should have known better than to be fooled again

 

Now I know what he has done

And I see what I`ve become

But everything is all right

when he calls me his wife

I should have known better than to be fooled again

I should have known better than to be fooled again

I should have known better than to be fooled again

 

Melody by Hanne Vasshus and Malcolm Burn 
Lyrics by Hanne Vasshus 

Remember how we used to walk

Full of light easy talk

We used to laugh

At the same you and I

Don`t say goodbye

I`ll start cry

 

Nothing stays the same

Nothing stays the same

 

You were old I was young

There was no trouble to find

You made me smile

From the bottom inside

I`ll hide my tears

To comfort this fear

 

Nothing stays the same

Nothing stays the same

 

You held my hand in darkest nights

In your eyes I saw the light

A rose of love

With a kiss from the sky

Takes time to grow

A life on your own

 

Nothing stays the same

Nothing stays the same

 

You showed me to run far

Run run run for the stars

You taught me to fight for

All the beautiful things life has in store

 

Now you`re gone I`m all alone

Strolling down the street with song

You`re always here

Right by my side

Fly far away

I remember you sang

 

Nothing stays the same

Nothing stays the same

 

Melody by Hanne Vasshus and Malcolm Burn

Lyrics by Hanne Vasshus 

 

Eg vandre rotlaust rundt ein nye skog

med farger som eg aldri før har sett

De dukka opp den dagen då du dro 

og siden har eg trødd her uten tro

 

For du, du e’kje lenger her med meg

Du får ikkje oppleva ein nye vår

 

Eg finne ingen fred fra alt eg ikkje sa

Kossen kunne eg vêr blinde siste dag

Skulle vært med deg og holdt dine hender

så alt var sagt og eg kanskje kunne forstå

                              

At du ikkje lenger er her hos meg

Du får ikkje oppleva ein nye vår

 

Ta meg med hjem

La meg bli 

hos deg


Eg lovte deg å leva drømmen ut

Å aldri gje opp har blitt mitt bud

Eg lukke øynene ser deg klart i meg

Kjenne varmen din der den sprer ditt håp 


Men du, du e’kje lenger her hos meg

Du får ikkje sett dette ein nye vår

Du e’kje lenger her med meg

Me får ikkje oppleva ein nye vår

 

Ta meg med hjem

la meg bli

hos deg

 

Melody & lyrics by Hanne Vasshus 

I`ve been waiting a long time baby

For a man of my own

Saturday I`m so lonely baby

I can never stay home

 

And it`s a long night on the town

When I go I go all the way out

And it`s a long night on the town

Tonight

 

Sitting round I get antsy baby

Had myself to much wine

Gonna put on a skin tight sweater

And my heels are sky high

 

And it`s a long night on the town

When I go and I go all the way out

And it`s a long night on the town

Tonight

Tonight

 

I`m just a face in the crowd

It`s getting dark in here now

 

I`m alone in the crowd now honey

I can be who I want

I can be Tina Turner Gaga

Nothing stopping me now

 

And it`s a long night on the town

When I go I go all the way out

And it`s a long night on the town

Tonight

Tonight

 

I`m just a face in the crowd

It`s getting dark in here now
