Hah, yeah
Carrumba

I fail to understand you
I don't know if you are lonely or just con me
And I don't see how you can say
That friends are few and far between
So tell me who you've seen

You have grown thoughtful again
I can't say I like it
You have grown thoughtful again
Not you

I'm shaken and in two minds
You say things that are not the way I say they are
And you don't see how I can say it
Friends are few and far between
And tell me where you've been

You have grown thoughtful again
I can't say I like it
You have grown thoughtful again
Mum? Can't say I like it

You have grown thoughtful again
I can't say I like it
You have grown thoughtful again

A-ha is a Norweigian synth pop group formed in 1982. All ten of their studio albums have either reached #1 or #2 in Norway – the first three also reaching the top 10 in several countries across Europe – with a total of over 35 million sold worldwide. They became a ‘teen pin-up band’ and were followed by screaming, enthusiastic fans. In 2012, all three members were appointed to knighthood in Norway for their contributions to music.

Frontman Morten Harket was lured away from the blues/soul group Soldier Blue in 1982 by keyboardist Magne Furuholmen to join his band with guitarist Paul Waaktaar. When Harket saw a song in Waaktaar’s notebook that was going to be titled either “a-ha” or “A-hem”, he suggested naming the band “a-ha”.

A year later, the band released their debut single “Take On Me” in 1984 to huge success in Norway. However, when the song was re-recorded and re-released alongside their debut album Hunting High And Low in the summer of 1985 it achieved massive international success, reaching #1 in eleven countries. Its success was definitely aided by its groundbreaking, award-winning music video of pencil-sketch animation combined with live-action shots.
