14th of april 1980
I was a brand new born baby
but this seemed like such a lonely place to be
born in the middle of norway
I wanted more I wanted dreams come true
and all those things you couldn't find round there i drew
It seemed like the only thing i could do
growing up in the middle of norway
It was cold - grey
nothing was ever more than ok
in the middle of norway
finally got the nerve to make a change and leave
over mountains over fiords to chase the dream
It seemed like the only right thing to do
to get out of the middle of norway
cold - grey
nothing was ever more than ok
in the middle of norway
I don't mean to be mean I mean
a guy like me a guy with dreams has needs you see
I'm not that brave I'm just afraid
to give up and go home
get a life and a loan
and get stuck in the middle of norway
