Four Hits: Elvira

Elvira Nikolaisen Four Hits: Elvira Lyrics
1.Love I can't defend

I'm closing in, I'm feeling fine
You've lit the candles, poured the wine
I've dreamed up great scenarios, won't come down
With my face pressed up to the glass
Your house inviting; night time; jass
And I arrive in this masterpiece, this pumpkin
But despite this romantic range of violins
Detoxication tends to be unkind
And if these laws of love do not appeal to you
I'll try and convince myself these rules are just applied

And this is love I can't defend
This is primitive love, the dangerous kind
And this is love that will bring me to my knees
This is the love that I have for you

My birthday comes, I am reduced
Your moods leave me a bit confused
I'm rearranging all my expectations
How you define consistency, well it's clearly not up to me
To breake into your rhythm or its absence
But despite this romantic rang of violins
Detoxication tends to be unkind
And if these laws of love do not appeal to you
I'll try and convince myself these rules are just applied

And this is love I can't defend
This is primitive love, the dangerous kind
And this is love that will bring me to my knees
This is the love that I have for you

And this is love I can't defend
This is primitive love, the dangerous kind
And this is love that will bring me to my knees
This is the love that I have for you


2.Egypt Song

This is a house to which I will never return
These rooms witnessed great disasters,
Quiet ones and loud ones too
This is a country to which I will never return
See, I've been a lonesome stranger
In these streets and in these labyrinths
In these ballrooms with the kings and queens
Was I brave to stay?

But now I've found my way out of Egypt
I've found my suprisingly obvious way out of here
You are my way out of my dangerous, proud mistakes
And now Egypt seems so very far away.

This is a house to which I will never return
These rooms witnessed great disasters,
Quiet ones and loud ones too
This is a country to which I will never return
See, I've been a lonesome stranger
In these streets and in these labyrinths
In these ballrooms with the kings and queens
Was I brave to stay?

Now I've found my way out of Egypt
I've found my suprisingly obvious way out of here
You are my way out of my dangerous, proud mistakes
And now Egypt seems so very far away
And now I've found my way out of Egypt
I've found my suprisingly obvious way out of here
You are my way out of my dangerous, proud mistakes
And now Egypt seems so very far away...
And now Egypt seems so very far away.
