Touchy!
A-Ha · Headlines And Deadlines: The Hits Of A-Ha
I can't hear a word the waiter says
She's looking older now...
The color of her hair
She walks into the room and pleased to find me there
Me I'm touchy - Touchy you
Me I'm touchy
And you know what to do
Me I'm touchy
Touchy, touchy you
Me I'm touchy and you know what to do
Both of us together in a room by ourselves
I sneeze to look around, but there's no escape
What can I do, what can I say
She's waiting for this moment to explain itself
Me I'm touchy - Touchy you
Me I'm touchy
And you know what to do
Me I'm touchy
Touchy, touchy you
Touching love is the best I can do
Hey, this time you've gone too far
You know how touchy we are
Donna found me in her slow and dreamy way
Now she reads me what the papers say
The way she laughs at what I do
I'm waiting for this moment to explain itself through
Touchy!
A-Ha's 'Touchy!' stands as a quintessential example of the Norwegian synth-pop trio's ability to blend catchy melodies with introspective lyrics. Released on the compilation album 'Headlines And Deadlines: The Hits Of A-Ha', the track exemplifies the band's signature sound, characterized by its driving basslines and atmospheric synthesizers that defined the genre during the late 1980s and early 1990s. The song captures the band's knack for crafting anthems that resonate with themes of emotional vulnerability and urban life, a recurring motif in their discography alongside hits like 'Take On Me' and 'The Living Daylights'. Its enduring popularity highlights the group's significant influence on the new wave and electronic music scenes, cementing their status as one of the most recognizable acts of their era.
