Not For You

Words and music: Egil Olufsen

 

I will travel to the countries

where the flowers are in bloom.

And return to my home country

in the early month of June.

 

I`ll go down to the nearest travel agency

and see what places they can offer me.

 

I will walk on distant beaches

even dance beneath the moon.

I will go as far as I can reach

and I cannot leave too soon.

 

I`ll go down to the nearest travel agency

and see what places they can offer me.

 

But then I see another problem

and it starts and ends with you.

But I will not be here one moment for you.

 

I will travel to the countries

where the flowers are in bloom.

And return to my home country

in the early month of June.

First Time We Met               

Words and music: Egil Olufsen

 

I can`t help but thinking

`bout the first time that we ever met.

I sat in the sunshine

in the corner on the upper deck.

 

I must have fallen asleep for a while

when suddenly you woke me.

I looked up into your eyes

you blinded me.

 

"Where are you going?"

I said I haven`t decided yet.

"And where are you coming from?"

I said no place where I belong. 

 

I must have fallen asleep for a while

when suddenly you woke me.

I looked up into your eyes

you blinded me.

 

Now here I`m sailing on the open sea

with thoughts of you as company.

I go through rounds and rounds of making believe

that you and I were meant to be.

Rock It

Words and music: Egil Olufsen

 

Stubborn mule

cannot brake the rule

Have to stick to your own fixed points of view, yeah yeah

Can`t get through to you

no matter what we do

 

Does it matter who`s wrong and who is right? Does it?

Just as long as you see the change of truth

 

Well, you just have to rock it

You just have to rock it

You shall have to rock it

You just have to rock it

 

Does it matter who`s wrong and who is right? Does it?

Just as long as you see the change of truth

 

Well, you just have to rock it

You just have to rock it

You shall have to rock it

(Let`s be) Ridiculous

Words and music: Egil Olufsen

 

Everytime I`m walking through the woods

and I know there`s nobody watching

I jump up and down, scream and shout

Act like a weirdo laughing

A most perculiar behaviour for a man like me

I release all my bottled up tensions

I`m as straight as I can be normally

But sometimes I do things I`d better not mention

 

Oh, oh, (Let`s be) Ridiculous

 

Let`s venture out on the dancing floor

and pretend that we`re brilliant dancers

Let people say whatever they want

We`ll be brave and take our chances

Sometimes it`s nice to be a bit off the track

when things get stiff and boring

Let`s loosen up a bit before we get back

to the world we live in.

 

Oh, oh, (Let`s be) Ridiculous
