Anja Garbarek - Strange Noises Lyrics

There were these two people
Living together in a peculiar house
This house was so peculiar
Because it made such strange noises

The couple decided that they had to move
They could no longer stand living with such strange noises
So they packed their bags
And put on their propeller hats

And so they flew high above the ocean
And forests and mountains to find a place
Yeah, they flew far into heaven to get some peace
To find a place that would be quiet, so quiet

But heaven was no permanent place
For this silence seeking couple
Because there, there were sounds too
Sky sounds, so they left the place
So they left the place

They flew high above the birds
And the clouds, and the moon to find a place
They flew far into the universe
To get some peace, to find a place

They flew high above the birds
And the clouds and the moon to find a place
They flew far into the universe to get some peace
To find a place that would be quiet, absolutely quiet

They flew high above the birds
And the clouds and the moon to find a place
They flew far into the universe
To get some peace, to find a place

But everywhere they went
There were these sounds, strange sounds
Somebody else's sounds and somebody else's sounds
Are lot worse to live with than one's own

So the couple found that
They might as well go back home
They took off their propeller hats and
Descended between the stars

East or west, east or west
Home is best, home is best
East or west, east or west
Home is best, home is best
