Take On Me

I remember, as a little girl being chosen at the school I was attending, to be in a television programme called ‘Music Time’. I loved playing all sorts of instruments, and on this occasion, I would be playing the xylophone. For those who aren’t as old as me (ha!) and are not sure what one looks like, here is an example:

A-Ha was in the studio that day to film for ‘Top Of The Pops‘. They were such awesome guys! I was shy and nervous, so the lead singer Morten Harket sat me on his lap and told me everything was going to be OK. 🙂

Good song along a rather unique video.

 

“Take On Me”

We’re talking away
I don’t know what I’m to say, I’ll say it anyway
Today isn’t my day to find you shying away
I’ll be coming for your love, okay?

Take on me
(Take on me)
Take me on
(Take on me)
I’ll be gone
In a day or two

So needless to say, I’m odds and ends
But I’ll be stumbling away
Slowly learning that life is okay
Say after me, it’s no better to be safe than sorry

Take on me
(Take on me)
Take me on
(Take on me)
I’ll be gone
In a day or two

Oh, the things that you say
Is it life or just to play my worries away?
You’re all the things I’ve got to remember
You’re shying away, I’ll be coming for you anyway

Take on me
(Take on me)
Take me on
(Take on me)
I’ll be gone
In a day
(Take on me, take on me)
(Take me on, take on me)

I’ll be gone
(Take on me)
In a day
(Take me on)
Take on me
(Take on me)
Take on me
(Take me on)
Take on me
