1 - SERPENTINE (Ryan) [edit]
Reeling offbeat on the all time high
pushing enveloped detoured rollercoaster rides
took a night to remember and a day to forget
we never bothered talking...
strolling zigzag and around the bends
put all trust in lucky charms, beginning with the end
I cut up a candlelit romance and read
still I couldn't get it...
last time we deviated, raving about it,
we had no second thoughts
I spent a lifetime finding out how you move
crooked constellations -
serpentine, serpentine
outta sight, outta mind
counting numbers, days and weeks go by
find no reason to retreat, no matter how I try
crystalline your voice resounds in my head
I am all addicted....
last time we deviated, raving about it,
we had no second thoughts
I spent a lifetime finding out how you move
crooked constellations -
serpentine, serpentine
outta sight, outta mind
zigzag and around the bend
there and back without an end
still your song resounds!
last time we deviated, raving about it,
we had no second thoughts
I spent a lifetime finding out how you move
last time we deviated, raving about it,
we had no second thoughts
I spent a lifetime finding out how you move
crooked constellations -
serpentine, serpentine
outta sight, outta mind

2 - SHANE 2 A.M. (Sæther)
Ran you out of the valley
you pushed your luck
It's not the score on the tally,
but the image stuck
you see the signs all around you
it's in the blood and the lore
it's so thick that it's see-through
saturated to the core
sometimes you just can't win
that rule is just built in
you don't swim, you go down
and drown
then become whay you hated
a part of it all
a cog in the wheel and stone in the wall
sometimes you just can't win
that rule is just built in
if you don't swim, you will drown

3 - LITTLE RICKY MASSENBURG (Gebhardt, Hagfors)
Little Ricky Massenburg
Nose broke back in 3rd
Oh, sure - he gets in the last word
School bell rings, recess is on
Ricky'll soon be pounced upon
by the St John's school team
Every day he toughens up
goes to school a frightened pup
Confronted, never backs down
Inspector spies the fool again
in trouble since school began
classroom is a corner, recess is a round
Ricky Massenburg is black and blue
He wears a mask no one can see through
beneath his shirt, a pumping heart
an alley cat with ears that smart
from oral blows and active IOUs
Waiting in the hall again,
feeling two feet small again
They summon his dad to St John's
They drive down to the fishing hole
A dad searches his aching soul
They hug, then both fall apart
Ricky Massenburg is black and blue
He wears a mask no one can see through
beneath his shirt, a pumping heart
an alley cat with ears that smart
from oral blows and active IOUs
Little Ricky Massenburg
Nose broke back in 3rd
Oh, sure - he gets in the last word
Hans Magnus Ryan - electric & acoustic guitars, vocals
Bent Sæther - bass, vocals

4 - SNAFU (Sæther)
Although my aim is getting poor
and I'm running out of steam
Although I've sung this song before
Sha la la la la la - all the words are true
Sha la la la la la - and I feel brand new
Sha la la la la la - I hope the truth shines through
And if I should lose my way again
and feel the way I sometimes do
and not be all that I should be
Sha la la la la la - all I need is you
Sha la la la la la - and your point of view
Sha la la la la la - to help me see it through
Cause you're such a heady brew
clear like morning dew
You support me when my knees are weak and tired
You will catch me if I fall
You uncoil me when I'm all uptight and wired
Be all, end all
I've been high on the moutain top
I've been deeper than the sea
I've been lost and I've been found
Oh, but I do declare
Nothing can compare
to coming back to you
and to see your eyes accept the whole SNAFU
Cause you're such a heady brew
clear like morning dew
praise is overdue
It's my SNAFU
It's my SNAFU
It's my SNAFU
It's my SNAFU

5 - FADE TO GREY (Ryan, Sæther)
Summer arrived today
The city's alive with hormonal interplay
The girls they all seem to glow
with the gold of the sun and the brilliance of rainbows
I don't need no band-aid on loneliness
I wish that it would stay
June in my heart til the end of May
May it never fade to grey
With our appetites on display
We'll all know who is fed by the end of the day
Baying like dogs in heat
Mining for gold in-between the sheets
I don't need no band-aid on loneliness
I wish that it would stay
June in my heart til the end of May
May it never fade to grey
Dream away, wake up to your heyday
'cause today I know I'll never fade to grey

For some reason, what I previewed and the real songs was somewhat different - maybe because of the cover art? But I definitely don't regret something more spacial than expected. The recent Ocean drifting in space.

I've always been on the fence about Elder. The musicianship was always there but it never clicked. Omens and Innate Passage have certainly changed that.
