[Verse 1: Lissie]
It was the rain that washed away
Rinsed out the colours of your eyes
Putting the gun down on the bedside table
I must have realised

[Verse 2: Lissie]
It wasn't the rain that made no difference
I could have sworn it wasn't me
Yet I did it all so coldly, almost slowly
Plain for all to see

[Chorus: Morten Harket and Lissie]
Oh, come on and 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

[Verse 3: Morten and Lissie]
I can still hear our screams competing
You're hissing your Ss like a snake
Now in the mirror stands half a man
I thought no one could break

[Verse 4: Morten and Lissie]
It was the rain that made no difference
Nervously drumming on, run away
But I want the guilt to get me, thoughts to wreck me
Preyin' on my mind

[Chorus: Morten and Lissie]
So, 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

[Verse 5: Morten and Lissie]
Please now, talk to me
Tell me things I could find helpful
How can I stop now?
Is there nothing I can do?

[Outro: Morten and Lissie]
Talk to me
Tell me, tell me what to do
How can I stop now?
Is there nothing I can do?
I have lost my way
I've been losing you
I've been losing you
I've been losing you
I've been losing you

Thank you! Thank you, Lissie! Right, no guests in this one. Anybody?

​a-ha

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.
