A-ha - Cosy Prisons Lyrics






Take a moment if you dare
Catch yourself a breath of air
There's another life out there
And you should try it

Dead ends hide on every street
Look before you place your feet
Cracks and fissures keep the beat
And you're inside it

Every thought you never dared to think
Every mood you always knew would sink
Every line you spoke out loud in a jest
All the time you took to be your best
Soon forgotten

The sun must never touch your skin
It could expose the dark within
You're paranoid about the paranoia

And panic hits without a sign
You worry about it all the time
Every perfect moment is a hidden warning

Cuz everything makes your pretty head spin
And nagging thoughts are starting to sink in
With everything this way it's better to forget
Than end up in a place with something to regret

Your transatlantic shopping spree
Your health forever guarantees
Organic -bio-life's a breeze in cosy prisons

But hiding out in a salad bar
Isn't gonna get you far
and bottled wine is vinegar tomorrow

Everything around here makes your pretty head spin
Its piling up high and you're back where you begin
Moments you have tried so hard to forget
Are promising to 've been the best one's yet

Everytime you shut your eyes it appears
Everytime you trace your steps back here
None of your convictions have the same old ring
No doubt you found a place for everything
In cosy prisons

So if you're careful
You won't get hurt
But if your careful all the time
Then what's it worth?

  4. s.... e....

    ❤❤❤amo essa canção ❤❤❤

  5. j.... M....

    Can't believe how much a-ha predicted the future

  6. J.... O....

  9. D.... L....

    Take a moment if you dare
    Catch yourself a breath of air

    And you should try it

    Dead ends hide on every street
    Look before you place your feet
    Cracks and fissures keep the beat
    And you're inside it

    Every thought you never dared to think
    Every mood you always knew would sink
    Every line you spoke out loud in a jest
    All the time you took to be your best
    Soon forgotten

    The sun must never touch your skin
    It could expose the dark within
    You're paranoid about the paranoia

    And panic hits without a sign
    You worry about it all the time
    Every perfect moment is a hidden warning

    Cause everything makes your pretty head spin
    And nagging thoughts are starting to sink in
    With everything this way it's better to forget
    Than end up in a place with something to regret

    Your transatlantic shopping spree
    Your health forever guarantees

  10. F.... C....

    Wtf this quality?

  11. j.... ....

    It's a fantastic song but IMO it was a port choice for a single. In the UK we had Analogue released and a lot of buzz around it, then it died off. Celice should have been released with this as a B Side, the music scene was a perfect fit for it at the time as indy and rock were more popular.

  12. t.... c....

    Muito lindo 😍😘😭😭

  13. D.... R....

    modern and true

  14. J.... M....

    So if your carefull, you won't get hurt.
    But if your carefull all the time, then whats it worth ?

    Wise words indeed from Mags !!!

  15. W.... O....

    QUALIDADE FRACA DE SOM

  16. V.... G....

    wish there was a HQ version of the video.

  17. E.... e....

    This música is wonderful...but the vídeo... it,'s so bad quality

  18. C.... 5....

    Listening in 2018 and it's better than anything I've heard. Loved them from the start.

  19. W.... O....

    PRECISA MELHORAR A QUALIDADE DO SOM PRA UM SAITE OFICIAL TA MUITO POBRE O SOM

  20. M.... S....

    Love this beautiful song

  23. N.... H....

    The only band in the world who have spilled their guts on the table for our pleasure

    N.... H....

    I guess you never heard of Fleetwood Mac and the album Rumours then.

  24. l.... b....

    epic song...a-ha at their best!!

  25. R.... R....

    A-ha A banda mais linda do🌎

  26. L.... s....

    inconfundível aha.

  27. N.... H....

    'All the time it took to be your best...is soon forgotten' refocuses you onto more important aspects of life. A-ha's music has often saved me from times of despair when all is lost and no one else cares. They have earned our love and respect.

    N.... H....

    Same to me,aha saved my life muliple times

    N.... H....

    Nicholas Hill same here! They’re music makes me instantly happy!

  28. c.... h....

    c.... h....

    Thanks Cesar Hidalgo

    c.... h....

    Thank you!!!

  29. B.... B....

    Did anyone notice the two people having sex? Or was that just me😂

    B.... B....

    it's to emphasis the word "regret"

  30. G.... A....

    Супер песня! Такая ностальгия, когда слушаю...

  31. R.... R....

    Cosy Prisons linda canção!!!!!

  32. M.... L....

    Essa música é perfeita! pena que não está em boa qualidade de áudio e imagem...

  33. R.... C....

    a-ha always gets it right ... :)

  34. C.... M....

    a-ha forever ♡♡♡

  35. g.... b....

    J’adore ce titre,mais pour le son c’est une vraie catastrophe ou comment pourrir cette vidéo, dommage car Cosy prisons ne méritait pas ça, bien entendu je like quand même car ce titre le merite

  36. C.... C....

    Eu simplesmente amo sem implicações essa música , e vo amar sempre já está na minha vida, e plenetou na minha alma, amuuuuu de mais a banda a.ha, bjs e boa noite cris,

  37. s.... ....

    недооценена

    s.... ....

    Наверное, потому что для всех, кроме самих норвежцев, словосочетание "уютные тюрьмы" – жуткий оксюморон.

  38. S.... ....

    excelente como todas as musicas do a-ha

    S.... ....

    Exactamente

  39. A.... H....

    I had the privilege to hear the band sing this song live on their 2005 concert in the Netherlands.
    Although the clip here is nice, the live background was far superior! It seems to also focus on a grownup (woman) instead of a kid like now.
    Still get goosebumps all over hearing this song.

  40. K.... M....

    I like this song so much, and I don't understand why it only reached 105k views ;\

    K.... M....

    This song is so beautiful, but i thinking that quality of the sound in this video is the reason !!!!!!

    K.... M....

    It's hit over 403k now in Dec 2019...
    It's got terrific lyrics and it's one of my fave A-ha songs!

  41. D.... M....

    Brasil.

  42. L.... C....

    BEAUTIFUL SONG!!!

  43. W.... S....

    This is the official Aha channel, with this shit quality video??

  44. a.... ....

    Profoundness and emotion in the lyrics...

  45. e.... ....

    just go to their official website and watch the video :DD

  46. S.... ....

    yes this is an anti commercial or what?

  47. L.... C....

    hello young man :)

  48. L.... C....

    son to Chris Martin too from cold play (Magne equal mind to Chris ) (The video was made in place when the water was dirty in London and its recicle .
    I know my men A-ha they feel things in 2006 .and since 2006 nobody see has awarded a prize to Chris Martin from Morten Harket for Speed of Sound. and me I know Onion dog because I spoke with her master.

  49. G.... ....

    Incredible lousy quality, must be a joke somehow

  50. D.... T....

    It's me :D

  51. M.... H....

    Concordo totalmente contigo Magaly, q legal saber q eu tenho uma xará q tambem gosta de a-ha!!!

  52. f.... ....

    When this video was recorded, Magne's sons were teenagers! I guess the boy *might* be his nephew or something, but I think it's more likely just a coincidence (the curly hair, too!). They might have chosen a boy who looked like Magne knowing they were going to do that particular shot?

  53. T.... C....

    Perfeito!

  54. G.... ....

    @UglyPigBeast it's true! I may upload a better quality video for this song, but youi know copyright...

  55. h.... ....

  56. M.... C....

    Confesso...nunca tinha visto esse vídeo!
    E lindo! Queria estar no lugar desse garotinho pelo nemos 5 min da minha vida!
