This video was animated by Michael Patterson, who also did the "Take On Me" video. Some of the animation in the "Train of Thought" video was taken from his student film "Commuter", which he did in 1981 at Cal Arts.

Great song! They really didn't get enough airplay in the U.S. I think. I've never heard more than a few of their songs and I was in grade school when they were at their popularity peak here. Must say that Morten sounds like David Bowie when he sings the low notes which is awesome, since David Bowie is another of my favorite singers.

I think that he also sounds like Marian Gold from Alphaville at times.

I was about 11 and thought they were amazing. They inspired Coldplay so they weren't that bad.

Lyrics:
He likes to have the morning paper, crossword solved
Words go up, words come down, forwards backwards twisted round
He grabs a pile of letters from a small suitcase
Disappears into an office it's another working day

And his thoughts are full of strangers
Corridors of naked lights
And his mind once full of reason
Now there's more that meets the eye
Oh a stranger's face he'll carries with him

He likes a bit of reading on the subway home
A distant radio whistling tunes that nobody knows
At home a house awaits him, he unlocks the door
Thinking once there was a sea here but there never was a door

And his thoughts are full of strangers
And his eyes to numb to see
And nothing that he knows of
And nowhere where he's been
Was ever quite like this, yeah

And his thoughts are full of strangers
Corridors of naked lights
And his mind once full of reason
Now there's more that meets the eye
Oh a stranger's face he'll carries with him

And at heart he's full of strangers
Dodging on his train of thought
Train of thought
