Cry Wolf

Diese Single wurde Ende November 1986 als zweites Lied von "Scoundrel Days" veröffentlicht. Als Komponist trat diesmal weitgehend Mags in Erscheinung: Von ihm stammt die Musik und weite Teile des Textes. Pål ist folglich lediglich Co-Texter des Songs. Auf der Single ist mit "Maybe, Maybe" außerdem eines der ganz wenigen Lieder enthalten, das Mags komplett alleine komponiert hat. Die Single ist also eine echte "Mags Single". Die 12'' wurde mit einer von Mags, Pål und Gerry Kitchingham gemixten Extended Version bereichert.

CRY WOLF (4:05)

(Mags/Pål Waaktaar)

"Night I left the city,
I dreamt of a wolf..."

He came from where the winds are cold
And truth is seen through keyholes
...strange longings never sleep
Now he's come where no hearts beat

Cry wolf
Time to worry
Cry wolf
Time to worry now

You can start, but you cannot stop
You give in, but you can't give up
You can tell all your desperate jokes
To a world that puts
Love on hold

Cry wolf
Time to worry
Cry wolf
Time to worry now

Dreamt of a wolf
Yeah, a wolf

...the sunken-in eyes
And the pain in his cries
A shape in the dark...

Cry wolf
Time to worry
Cry wolf
Time to worry now

MAYBE MAYBE (2:34)

(Mags)

Maybe you were joking
When you said that you were walking out on me
Maybe, maybe

Maybe I was joking
When I said that I was running out on you
Maybe, maybe

I could be wrong, so wrong
I could be wrong, so wrong
Yes, I could be wrong

I don't know, but it's been said
Decisions travel far from heart to head
Maybe, maybe

Maybe it was over
When you chucked me out the Rover at full speed
Maybe, maybe

I could be wrong, so wrong
I could be wrong, so wrong
Yes, I could be so wrong
