lyrics
I’ve been gone
Gone for so long
Now I’m back
Back in Oslo
She’s the one
Who made me return
To the blue and the green
An attempted city inbetween
She calls me late at night
That’s not my name
She calls me in the morning
But I’m too afraid to pick up the phone
So I get on the metro
And cross the city under ground
Climb the frozen escalators
And run through the streets without a sound
Homeward bound
So let’s go out tonight
Let’s hit the financial district
Scan your barcodes by the door
In this desert of consultancy
Turn your head
Away when she passes you by
Act surprised
When she pats on your back
She calls me in the morning
From the bathroom
And then she calls me late at night
But I’m too afraid to pick up the phone
So I get on the metro
And cross the city under ground
Climb the frozen escalators
And run through the streets without a sound
Homeward bound
Gone for so long
Now I’m back
Back in Oslo
She’s the one
Who made me return
To the blue and the green
An attempted city inbetween
She calls me late at night
That’s not my name
She calls me in the morning
But I’m too afraid to pick up the phone
So I get on the metro
And cross the city under ground
Climb the frozen escalators
And run through the streets without a sound
Homeward bound
So let’s go out tonight
Let’s hit the financial district
Scan your barcodes by the door
In this desert of consultancy
Turn your head
Away when she passes you by
Act surprised
When she pats on your back
She calls me in the morning
From the bathroom
And then she calls me late at night
But I’m too afraid to pick up the phone
So I get on the metro
And cross the city under ground
Climb the frozen escalators
And run through the streets without a sound
Homeward bound

supported by 4 fans who also own “Barcodes”
The name of this album perfectly encapsulates everything I love about Elizabeth's musical output from the Darlings to Allo Darlin' to these precious songs: an unyielding optimism that is never naive, and by being so, becomes wildly contagious. Some music tells you that "everything will be ok", but her music actually makes you believe it, even when the lyrics hint at doubt.
