Norway i/ˈnɔrweɪ/ (Norwegian: Norge (Bokmål) or Noreg (Nynorsk)), officially the Kingdom of Norway, is a Nordic unitary constitutional monarchy whose territory comprises the western portion of the Scandinavian Peninsula, Jan Mayen, the Arctic archipelago of Svalbard and the subantarctic Bouvet Island. Norway has a total area of 385,252 square kilometres (148,747 sq mi) and a population of about 5 million. It is the second least densely populated country in Europe. The majority of the country shares a border to the east with Sweden; its northernmost region is bordered by Finland to the south and Russia to the east; in its south Norway borders the Skagerrak Strait across from Denmark. The capital city of Norway is Oslo. Norway's extensive coastline, facing the North Atlantic Ocean and the Barents Sea, is home to its famous fjords.
Harry Lillis "Bing" Crosby (May 3, 1903 – October 14, 1977) was an American singer and actor. Crosby's trademark bass-baritone voice made him one of the best-selling recording artistes of the 20th century, with over half a billion records in circulation.
A multimedia star, from 1934 to 1954 Bing Crosby was a leader in record sales, radio ratings and motion picture grosses. His early career coincided with technical recording innovations; this allowed him to develop a laid-back, intimate singing style that influenced many of the popular male singers who followed him, including Perry Como,Frank Sinatra, and Dean Martin. Yank magazine recognized Crosby as the person who had done the most for American G.I. morale during World War II and, during his peak years, around 1948, polls declared him the "most admired man alive," ahead of Jackie Robinson and Pope Pius XII. Also in 1948, the Music Digest estimated that Crosby recordings filled more than half of the 80,000 weekly hours allocated to recorded radio music.
Running some other way,
Got to get out
You’re already too late
To think of some other way now,
Dedicating endless plaques to friends
You’re not proud
Proud of something that’s changed
Changed your inner mind
You’re already too late;
The cycle starts with a shout loud,
What follows next was never planned,
Well, not that you knew
All words drown out
You’re falling down
--------
Reeling and feeling its dragging you down
You can’t deny
Our slow decline
But ever since I
I’ve changed you cry
This timeless lie
Is growing on me
It’s all that’s left of me
My life my fight my time my vice my crime
You'll never relate to what it feels like
Cos its already too late
To feel a thing when your
Insides, are full of hate
And there's no way to fake decisions
It’s a subliminal fate
It wraps itself round
Your fear of what is blowing away
The world it seems
Is weighing down on you like a mirror
Is it just a splinter
Of all we lost
-----------
Caught in the spotlight but no-one is ever looking at you
You can’t deny
Our slow decline
Accelerates mine
I’ve changed you cry
This timeless lie
Is growing on me
It’s all that’s left of me
My life my fight my time my vice my crime
------------------------------------------+
All that you break is our shared fall
But you cant recall
