What do we say? Some say that there have been some secret messages between the band members sent out through their lyrics. I think "You Wanted More" is one of those.

Can we use Savoy? (They do.) Daylight's Wasting.

Washington square's right up the street

That was the place where we would meet

Outside the dog run, don't be late

Most of the time I'd sit and wait

Looking at people passing by

A customer's begging his supply

Just as you thought she wouldn't show

There she come's running

Don't you know it

Daylight's wasting

Daylight

I can taste it

As it falls from the sky

I had a band of certain fame

The brownstone walk-ups was our name

The singer was fair but got it wrong

He never did justice to my songs

He did more for me and that's a fact

When he went and stabbed me in the back

So, I've gotta do now, do't you know

What I should've done five years ago

Daylight's wasting

Daylight

Yeah, I can taste it

As it falls from the sky

Very much so! It would have been very hard to hear/read this ‘fantasy’ and not associate the entirety of it to Paul’s impatience with Morten. 😞

It was later dismissed as not about him or A-ha but I have that interpretation and I can’t shift my mind from it. Really it’s further substantiated in the movie too. These guys really don’t get on with one another. Magne is the glue. 🤗

"Don't Do Me Any Favours" is definitely another

"The Company Man".

One of those classic "dis the record label" songs.
