  • Touch me
    How can it be?
    Believe me
    The sun always shines on TV
    Hold me
    Close to your heart
    Touch me
    And give all your love to me
    To me

    I reached inside myself and found
    Nothing there to ease the
    Pressure of my ever worrying mind, oh
    All my powers waste away
    I fear the crazed and lonely
    Looks the mirror's sending me these days, oh

    Touch me
    How can it be?
    Believe me
    The sun always shines on TV
    Hold me
    Close to your heart
    Touch me
    And give all your love to me

    Please don't ask me to defend
    The shameful lowlands of the way I'm drifting
    Gloomily through time, oh
    (Touch me) I reached inside myself today
    (Give all your love) thinking there's got to be some way
    To keep my troubles distant

    T-touch me
    How can it be?
    Believe me
    The sun always shines on TV
    Hold me
    Close to your heart
    Touch me
    And give all your love to me

    Hold me
    Close to your heart
    Touch me
    Give all your love to me
    To me Writer/s: Pal Waaktaar

  • Götterdämmerung from Elsewhere, SolRodimusben, turn it down a notch...this ain't Armchair Theater, SIR!
    You dig?
  • Shandroise De Laeken from Davao City, PhilippinesJuly 5, 2015 - Last July 3, a-ha released their latest song Under the Make-Up which is listened to by almost all a-ha fans... but me, I'm stuck to this song!!! What a very dramatic voice Morten has! I feel like winter is all around me when it's raining over here in Philippines just by listening to his voice in here (ye, The Sun Always Shines on TV!) This song is truly remarkable! Thank God it got played FIRST TIME ever in a radio station I'm listening to so I was able to record it in my phone! A-ha-hoo!!
  • Rodimusben from Harrisonburg, VaThe epic sound of this song betrays the more pedestrian subject matter. Nevertheless, catchy and memorable stuff from a great band.
  • Linda from Oudenaarde, BelgiumThis song was covered by Milk Inc, a Belgian dance act.
