Touchy!

Auch die im August 1988 veröffentlichte vierte Single von "Stay On These Roads" ist eines der seltenen Lieder, das von allen drei geschrieben wurde. Zur "Unterstützung" war auf der Single noch der Song "Hurry Home" in der Album Version enthalten. Die 12'' Version glänzte mit einem "Go-Go Mix" von John Hudson und Paul Simpson und auf der CD-Single war neben diesem Mix auch noch "Hunting High And Low" vortreten.

TOUCHY! (4:31)

(Morten Harket/Mags/Pål Waaktaar)

Donna found us in her slow and dreamy way
I can't hear a word the waiter says
She's looking older now...the color of her hair
She walks into the room and pleased to find me there

Me I'm touchy
Touchy you
Me I'm touchy
And you know what to do
Me I'm touchy
Touchy, touchy you
Me I'm touchy and you know what to do

Both of us together in a room by ourselves
I sneeze to look around, but there's no escape
What can I do, what can I say
She's waiting for this moment to explain itself

Me I'm touchy
Touchy you
Me I'm touchy
And you know what to do
Me I'm touchy
Touchy, touchy you
Touching love is the best I can do

Hey, this time you've gone too far
You know how touchy we are

Donna found me in her slow and dreamy way
Now she reads me what the papers say
The way she laughs at what I do
I'm waiting for this moment to explain itself through

Me I'm touchy ...etc

HURRY HOME (4:34)

(Mags/Pål Waaktaar)

Hurry home
Freight train running
I've been gone
Too long, honey
Why did I waste away
The only good thing left to save me

Hurry home
Freight train running
She's alone
Got no money
(She's alone...she got no money
I'm coming home, I've done my running)
I'm coming home
No more running
Why now should I deny
The only true thing left inside me
Hurry home
No more running

I'm doing right
For once in my life
(He's doing right!)
No more running...

(Rolling countries... fields unfolding
I swear the winds are calling)

So I hurry home
No more running
She's all alone
Got no money
(She's alone...she got no money
coming home, I've done my running)
Why should I go and hide
The only true thing left inside me
Hurry home
Freight train running

HUNTING HIGH AND LOW (3:43)

(Pål Waaktaar)

Here I am
And within the reach of my hands
She's sound asleep
And she's sweeter now
Than the wildest dream
Could have seen her
And I watch her slipping away
But I know I'll be hunting high and low

High
There's no end to the lengths I'll go to
Hunting high and low
High
There's no end to lengths I'll go

To find her again
Upon this my dreams are depending
Through the dark
I sense the pounding of her heart
Next to mine
She's the sweetest love I could find
So I guess I'll be hunting high and low

High
There's no end to the lengths I'll go to
Hunting High and Low
High
Do you know what it means to love you

I'm hunting high and low
And now she's telling me
She's got to go away
I'll always be hunting high and low
Hungry for you
Watching me tearing myself to pieces
Hunting high and low

High
There's no end to the lengths I'll go to
Oh, for you I'll be hunting high and low
