I've Been Losing You

Die erste Single von "Scoundrel Days", dem zweiten Studio-Album von A-ha, wurde im Oktober 1986 veröffentlicht. Sie war vier Wochen lang die Nummer eins in Norwegen. Mit auf der Single war auch der Song "This Alone Is Love" in der Original Version von Mags und Pål produziert, der in einer anderen Version (von Alain Tarney produziert) erst auf "Stay On These Roads", dem dritten Album von A-ha "regulär" veröffentlicht wurde. Die 12'' Single wurde mit zwei Versionen von Jellybean bereichert, einer Extended Version und einer Dub Version.

I'VE BEEN LOSING YOU (4:24)

(Pål Waaktaar)

It wasn't the rain that washed away...
Rinsed out the colours of your eyes
Putting the gun down on the bedside table
I must have realized

It wasn't the rain
That made no difference
And I could have sworn it wasn't me
Yet I did it all so coldly
...almost slowly
Plain for all to see

Oh come on 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

I can still hear our screams competing
You're hissing your s's like a snake
Now in the mirror stands
Half a man
I thought no one could break

It wasn't the rain
That made no difference
Nervously drumming on: Run away
But I want the guilt to get me
Thoughts to wreck me
Preying on my mind

Please now
Talk to me
Tell me; things I could find helpful
For how can I stop now
Is there nothing I can do
I have lost my way
I've been losing you

THIS ALONE IS LOVE (4:30)

(Mags/Pål Waaktaar)

This alone is love
No small thing
This alone is love
That my love brings

And all of us
Who are travelling by trap-doors
Our souls are a myriad of wars
And I'm losing everyone

It will make my last breathpass out at dawn
It will make my bodydissolve out in the blue
Oh baby, what can we do.
