I could be discontent and chase the rainbows end
I might win much more but lose all that is mine
I could be a lot but I know I'm not
I'm content just with the riches that you bring
I might shoot to win and commit the sin
Of wanting more than I've already got
I could runaway but I'd rather stay
In the warmth of your smile lighting up my day
(the one that makes me say, heh)
'Cause you're the best thing that ever happened to me or my world
You're the best thing that ever happened - so don't go away
I might be a king and steal my peoples things
But I don't go for that power crazy way
All that I could rule but I don't check for fools
All that I need is to be left to live my way
(say listen what I say)
I could chase around for nothing to be found
But why look for something that is never there
I may get it wrong sometimes but I'll come back in style
For I realise your love means more than anything
Sugar town yea has turned so sour
It's people angry in their sleep
There's more small town, oh paranoia
Sweepin' down its evil sheets
[Inaudible]
Give me the chance
I'll cut you down with a glance
With my small axe, so help me
Though I'm only one and though weak I'm strong
And if it comes to the crunch
Then I'm the woodcutter's son
Cutting down the wood for the good of everyone, yea
You can tell yea, it's witching hour
You can feel the spirits rise
When the room, goes very quiet
Oh and there's hatred in their eyes
(Hatred)
Give me the chance
I'll cut you down with a glance
Yeh, with my small axe, so help me
Though I'm only one an' though weak I'm strong
And if it comes to the crunch
Then I'm the woodcutter's son
Cutting down the wood for the good of everyone
Cutting down the wood for the good of everyone, yea
There's a silence when I enter
And a murmur, oh when I leave
You can see their jealous faces
Oh I can feel yea, the ice they breathe
(Ice they breathe)
Give me the chance
I'll cut you down with a glance
Yeh, with my small axe, so help me
Though I'm only one and though weak I'm strong
And if it comes to the crunch
Then I'm the woodcutter's son
Cutting down the wood for the good of everyone
(So)
Cutting down the wood for the good of everyone
(Yea)
Cutting down the wood for the good of everyone
Cutting down the wood for the good of everyone
As worlds end with new ones to open
As you change your aim
Lives thrown up into the open
Get on a different plane
Words meant but were left unspoken
Take on a different name
And hearts mend that once were so broken
As time heals the pain
Till you can find it in your heart
To forgive if not to forget such a part
Of life that you lost
As you lose your mind
Something else you'll find
And faces strange, start to change
As worlds end with new ones to open
As you change your aim
Lives thrown up into the open
Get on a different plane
Words meant but were left unspoken
Take on a different name
And hearts mend that once were so broken
As time heals the pain
Never stopping like rain dropping
To find a place on earth
Never stopping like rain dropping
To find a place on earth
You'll find, you'll wake up fresh instead
You'll find me less inside your head
With words left unsaid
As you lose your mind
Hey, something else in time
And faces strange, rearrange
As worlds end with new ones to open
As you change your aim
Lives thrown up into the open
Get on a different plane
Words meant but were left unspoken
Take on a different name
And hearts mend that once were so broken
As time heals the pain
Never stopping like rain dropping
To find a place on earth
Never stopping like rain dropping
To find a place on earth
Stop this rain
Stop this rain
Stop this rain
I'm wishing on a star
To follow where you are
I'm wishing on a dream
To follow where you'll be
And I'm wishing on all the rainbows that I see
Wishing on all the people, who've ever been
And I'm wishing on tomorrow, when will it come
And I'm wishing on all the lovin' we've ever done
I'm wishing on a star to follow where you are
I never thought I'd see a time when you would be
So far away from home
So far away from me
Just think of all the moments that we'd spent
I just can't let you go from me, you were meant
And I didn't mean to hurt you, and I know
That in the game of lovin' you, I was slow
I feel it's time for us to make up, baby
I feel it's time for us to get back together
And make the best of things, oh, baby
When we're together, oh whether or never
I feel it's time for us to make up, baby
I feel it's time for us to get back together
And make the best of things, baby
When we're together, yeah whether or never
And I'm wishing on a star
And I'm wishing on all the rainbows that I see
Wishing on all the people who've ever been
Wishing on tomorrow, when will it come
I'm wishing on all the lovin', we've ever done
That I'm wishing on a star
To follow where you are, oh ya
I'm wishing on a dream to follow where you been
High tide, mid afternoon
People fly by in the traffics boom
Knowing, just where you're blowing
Getting to where you should be going
Don't let them get you down
Making you feel guilty about
Golden rain, will bring you riches
All the good things, you deserve now
Climbing forever trying
Find your way out, of the wildwild wood
Now there's no justice
There's only yourself, that you can trust in
And I say, "High tide, mid afternoon"
Oh, people fly by, in the traffics boom
Oh, knowing, just where you're blowing
Getting to where you should be going
Day by day your world fades away
Waiting to feel, all the dreams that say
Golden rain will bring you riches
All the good things, you deserve now
And I say, "Climbing forever trying"
You're gonna find your way out
Of the wild wild wood
Say that, you're gonna find your way out
Lets go sailing in the wild blue yonder,
lets go sailing in the wild blue yonder,
lets go sailing in the wild blue yonder,
backing it up, leaving it all behind.
Lets go loving like we know we all are,
lets go loving like we know we all are,
lets go loving like we know we all are,
backing it up, leaving it all behind.
While we're thinking 'bout thinking it over,
while we're thinking 'bout thinking it over,
while we're thinking 'bout thinking it over,
the world has turned, another day has gone.
I wonder who I am,
and what you really think about me.
I wonder who you are,
and what I really feel to you.
Lets go loving in the wild green clover,
lets go loving in the wild green clover,
lets go loving in the wild green clover,
the world has turned, another day has passed.
Lets go sailing in the wild blue yonder,
lets go sailing in the wild blue yonder,
lets go sailing in the wild blue yonder.
Lets go sailing,
lets go sailing,
lets go sailing in the wild blue yonder.
Lets go sailing in the wild blue yonder.
My son runs to the shore
To the world that lies before
He can't hear my sound
He's much to in tune with the ground
He sees only the tide
And the surf and the sea
He's oblivious to me calling
In years to come
I will still call him son
But he'll have no time to wait
He must see beyond his fate
He sees only the sun
And the wind make it free
His only defense will always be
Why walk when you can run?
Run like the wind, run like the wind
Run like the wind, run like the wind
Run like the wind, run like the wind
Run like the wind my son
Run like the wind, run like the wind
Run like the wind, run like the wind
Run like the wind, run like the wind
Run like the wind my son
Through sheets of time
Are the wings of a bird
He'll come to the edge
To look life in the eyes
Is he holding the keys
To the world and his dreams?
His strongest defense will always be
Why walk when you can run?
Why walk when you can run?
Run like the wind, run like the wind
Run like the wind, run like the wind
Run like the wind, run like the wind
Run like the wind my son
Run like the wind, run like the wind
Don't turn your back, no giving in
Run like the wind, run like the wind
You who brings joy
Into my world
Makes me swirl
Of such love
And all you ask
In return
Is to be loved
And love you I must
Compelled by God
To invisible force
I just want so much
To be here for you
You, my darling who
Brings so much joy
Every laugh has an echo
Every movement a feat
I humble in your complexion
So perfect, so complete
You who brings joy
Into the world
In your eyes lie a heaven
In your voice sweet caress
It is you who takes over
Whose gentle arms I rest
You who brings joy
Into the world
Makes me swirl
Of such love
And where'er ye go
That we'll never know
But as long as you come back
That's all that really matters
And where'er ye go
As surely you will
Taking with you most of all
Our whole breath and magic
But that's who you are
And we have to accept
We either live with it
Or live without you
So where'er ye go
And come ye back
As each time you do
You bring with ye such stories
That we lose ourselves
Because our echoes are forgotten
And you never forget
You just lose track of time
That's alright, it's really alright
Bobby's off on holiday
Away across the sea
Setting up his easel
A new scene to see
Says that he's had enough
Of standing in the rain
Now he's looking for the good life
With European pain
Did you know
Your garden's overgrown
And what is shown?
Meeting all these pretty girls
Singing golden hair
He's in touch with the painter's mind
And Syd's unflinching stare
Drinking wine in the Moulin Rouge
Sipping kaffee in Berlin
Might take in the coloured lights
In the city they call sin
He could see
The writing on the wall
Ten feet tall
But oh there are times
He wished the world
Would fade just into sight
And oh, the feelings that changed
Were thicker than the brush
Strokes of fame
Now he rides the dirt roads
Of old southern Spain
And when senoritas sing
He can hear them say
Did you know
Your garden's overgrown
And what is shown?
He could see
The writing on the wall
Fish from the paper, fresh from the sea
The cracks in the pavement, the city in siege
I don't know where to replace it or who to believe
Can't find on the pavement or lay on his knees
Scratching around in a second I got where you should be
We're going to wake up the nation, don't be no drag
Shake up the station, a night up ahead
We're going to wake up the nation, don't be no drag
Shake up the station, a night on our hands
Nowhere to be
Nowhere to be
Get your face off the Facebook and turn off your phone
The death of the post box, no one is home
Scratching around in a second I got where you should be
Nowhere to be
Nowhere to be
We're going to wake up the nation, don't be no drag
Shake up the station, a night up ahead
We're going to wake up the nation, don't be no drag
Shake up the station, a night on our hands
We're going to wake up the nation, don't be no drag
Shake up the station, a night up ahead
We're going to wake up the nation, don't be no drag
There's 12 steps to Eddie Cochran baby
Two flowers growing through
the pavement crack
Wish I was purple but I'm red instead
Catch a ride it's so pure
and fresh and clean
Shafts of light that stream and holler
The dust that dances
on the air to me - you'll see
Your lips are like milk - honey
I'll grow through your cracks
and you'll see
Hold tight angel
Morning will soon be here
Washing your pillow
In swathes of gold and red
Our time is waiting
In the wings of uncertainty
Our love is waking
You?re born to be with me
I know it takes
To the start of forever
That?s a long time
Such a long time
To be waiting
In the sun, in the sun
Your soul so peaceful
How could I have been so mean
Feel, I?ve been sleeping
Might have looked but I?ve never seen
Your beauty takes
To the start of forever
That?s a long time
Such a long time
To be waiting
In the sun
Feel, I?ve been sleeping
I?m born to be with you
To the start of forever
It?s the start
It?s a long time
Such a long time to be waiting
In the sun, in the sun
In the sun, in the sun
Come, taste the wine
Come, lose yourself
Taste this time
But keep it well
Only love it all
With heart and head
For there is no drinking
After you're dead
Dive and swim
In the amber ocean
See all that you can
In this new emotion
Embrace it now
Before it's skin sheds
For there is no drinking
After you're dead
Stand back to back
With yourself again
As you spin and reel
Like a new found friend
And have it all
With heart and hands
For there is no love making
After you're dead
Today is but a second
If tomorrow you may die
And empty pages glistening
To eternity's lie
And time is money's worth
Encased upon the wall
That brings our day of reckoning
Much closer to us all
Time will pass you by
Light the candle
And burn it well
For only time knows
What it cannot yet tell
Only love it all
With heart and head
For there is no drinking
You got your magic touch
And you know so much
It must be easy for you
To turn me into gold
You got a pretty strong hand
Backed up with your talisman
That hangs from your neck
You mind that, you don't show
You got the keys to the city
But you'll find no place to stay
'Cause for all your talk
You still got nothing to say
And your talisman
Like the wind blows sand
Must fly away
Here's a turn to move
And half the world will give you too
Oh, caught up in your gravity issues
Just to leave us with
Ridin' to the fields we shared
Ah, takin' us closer, closer
To our groove
As you look to the skies
With empty eyes and say
I've got the gift of the world
But I still don't understand
And my talisman
Like the wind blows sand
Must fly away
As you look to the skies
With empty eyes and say
I've got the gift of the world
And I still don't understand
He's got the light of the world
But still can't see his way
As he's ready to fight
But there's nothing left to slay
And your talisman
Like the wind blows sand
Sweet pea, my sweet pea
You're the one to get my heart a-jumpin'
Light of love all around your
Being to see
The future, it's looking at ya
It only exists because you're alive
So close your eyes and smile
Your smiles of sweet dreams
Fill them with love again
Sweet pea
Fill them with joy again
Each pace I take and you know why
I write for you and I to try
To take the things that lie around
And turn them into dreams so swift, so proud
It's on a time again
And it's mine again
Sweet thing, loving you is easy
Goodbye sadness when I'm around you
Giving me something I can feel
Down in my bones
Ah, sometimes, maybe just sometimes
Look back on these times and smile
And have the grace to know
What you have seen
Fill them with love again
Sweet pea
Fill me with hope again
My sweet pea
Recollected thoughts and songs
Emblems of forgotten words
Remnants of a time so clear
Still rings fresh and true when the wind is here
It's on a time again
And it's mine again
Sweet pea, my sweet pea
Heaven knows I got a thing about ya
You're the girl to get my heart
Start jumpin' again
Ah, sometimes, baby, just sometimes
Look back on these times and smile
And have the grace to know
What you have seen
How it should be, my sweet pea?
Only God knows what I feel about ya
You're the girl to get my heart
Start pumpin' around
The future if we're lookin' at ya
It only exists because you're alive
So close your eyes and smile
Your smiles of sweet dreams
Fill them with love again
Sweet pea
Fill them with joy again
Yes, sweet thing
Fill them with hope again
START! - Paul Weller
It's not important for you to know my name -
Nor I to know yours
If we communicate for two minutes only
It will be enough
For knowing that someone in this world
Feels as desperate as me -
And what you give is what you get.
It doesn't matter if we never meet again,
What we have said will always remain.
If we get through for two minutes only,
It will be a start!
For knowing that someone in this life,
Loves with a passion called hate
And what you give is what you get.
If I never ever see you -
If I never ever see you -
If I never ever see you - again.
A hazy mist hung down the street
The length of it's mile as far as my eye could see
The sky so wide, the houses tall
Or so they seemed to be so they seemed to me so small
And it gleamed in the distance
And it shone like the sun
Like silver and gold
It went on and on it went on and on
Summer nights that seemed so long
Always call me back to return as I rewrite this song
The ghosts of night, the dreams of day
Make me swirl and fall and hold me in this way
And it's still in the distance
And it shines like the sun
Like silver and gold
It goes on and on, it goes on and on
It goes on and on, it goes on and on
Rolling stock rocked me to sleep
Amber lights flashing 'cross the street
And on the corner a dream to meet
Going on and on
Rolling stock rocked me to sleep
Amber lights flashing 'cross the street
And on the corner a dream to meet
It goes on and on, going on and on
It goes on and on, it goes on and on
Standing out in the universe
For every life in store
Hope is where you lift your head
Written in the dawn
Sending out like an SOS
Let everyone agree
Now's the time to change your mind
It's the time to change your mind for free
Standing out in the universe
For every new star born
God speed the light you make
And shine on us all
Sending out to the universe
That hope is on it's way
Now's the time to open eyes
And realize that we've all parts to play
Now the world's at a place
People torn and disgraced
There's no time, there's no time like today
To feel the wings of change, oh yeah
[Incomprehensible]
Now the world's at a stage
Born of war raised in rage
So little time, little time like today
To feel the wings of change
Standing out in the universe
For every new star born
God speed the light you make
And shine on us all
Sending out like an SOS
Let everyone agree
Now's the time to change your mind
It's the time to change your mind for free
Standing out in the universe
Standing out in the universe
Standing out in the universe
Your hair hangs in golden steps
You're a bonafide in every respect
You are walking through streets that mean nothing to you
You believe you're above it and I don't really blame you
Maybe that's why you speak like a child;
The things you're saying like "I'm so free and so wild"
And I believe it when you look in my eyes;
You offer me a life, and never lies
Least only the kind to make me smile
Your clothes are clean and your mind is productive
It shops in store where only the best buy
You're cool and hard, and if I sound like a lecher
It's probably true,
But at least there's no lecture
I really like it when you speak like a child
The crazy sayings like "I'm so free and so wild"
You have to make a bargain with me now
A promise that you won't change somehow
No way, now how
Spent all day thinking about you
Spent all night coming to terms with it
Time and conditions are built to tame
Nothing lasts with age, so people say
But I will always try to feel the same
I really like it when you speak like a child
I really like it when you speak like a child
The way you hate the homely rank and the file
The way you're so proud to be oh, so free and so wild
I really like it when you speak like a child
I really like it when you speak like a child
I really like it when you speak like a child
I was half in mind - I was half in need,
And as the rain came down - I dropped to my knees and prayed
I said "oh Heavenly thing - please cleanse my soul,
I've seen all on offer and I'm not impressed at all".
I was halfway home - I was half insane,
And every shop window I looked in just looked the same
I said send me a sign to save my life
'Cause at this moment in time there is nothing certain in
these day's of mine
Y'see it's a frightening thing when it dawns upon you
That I know as much as the day I was born
And though I wasn't asked (I might as well stay
An) promise myself each and every day - that -
When you're knocked on your back - an' your life's a flop
and when you're down on the bottom there's nothing else
Carry me home, carry me home
You old sea spray
Carry me home, carry me home
You old sea spray
Like the million stars before you
You shine through the strictest curfew
And listening to the rules of no one
Just want to lay it over
Can you never see what I can see?
Carry me home, carry me home
You old sea spray
Carry me home, carry me home
You old salt spray
Carry me home
You old sea spray
Sweep me up and take me with you
To see the things that stand before you
Show me all this world has for me
I want all the light can show me
I can only be what God can see
Come to carry me home
Come to carry me home
Want you to come to carry me home
Carry me home, carry me home
You old sea spray
Carry me home, carry me home
You old sea spray
Carry me home, carry me home
You old salt spray
Carry me home, carry me home
Savages, he knows you are
Do you not think that God is looking down?
On you savages, the children run to mothers
You put bullets in their backs
Ah, cowards, can you not see?
Do you not think that love is coming down?
You have no gods, they've all disowned you
You have no love, so you take it out on
People's lives in progress
That's what keeps you going when you're savages
Savages, you can dress it up
Give it a name and a fancy uniform
And a flag to fly, to hide behind
Can you not see the truth that's on the ground?
You have no love, it has all gone cold on you
You never have, so you take it out on
Those whose love is growing
That's what you hate most than when you're savages
Do you not see the love is coming down?

Just a push button, automatic kind of guy
Looking at the liquid just a night after night
Chat room hard core looking to find
My wrists are aching, on screen I'm faking
Just a push button, automatic kind of guy
Suffering in an ocean when my body stays dry
Download hard drive here on the live
In segregation, the new creation
Every day I am just wasting away
To bring the world much closer
On site, time into the night
Click on, click on, click on
Just a push button, automatic kind of guy
Hiding in a fantasy to keep me alive
Mega-byte, mega-shyte, dot com delight
My card is burning, everything I'm learning
Everyday I am just wasting away
To bring the world much closer
All my life is now online
Click on, click on, click on
I?ve a push button, automatic kind of life
Suffering in pollution where my body stays dry
Download, sidelines, apathy fries
In segregation, digital relation
My card is burning, everything I'm learning
My fat screen wonder gives me every answer
In a world much closer with so much power
Like pieces of a dream
All shattered on a screen
Reflected in the shade
(Reflected in the shade)
Explore this new landscape
Like pieces of a dream
Disturbingly surreal
(Disturbingly surreal)
Comforting once and yet
The thing you can connect
Shake it up, shake it up
Shake it up, baby
Shake it up, shake it up
Shake it up, baby
Can't put my finger on it
Can't put this figure on me
Can't fix my mind upon it
This feeling's captured me
What?s in a life
If you don?t live it, baby
It?s just getting on by
With a promise, what if, maybe
Hanging around
Waiting for something to fall
And once in a while
The paper smile must come a-way
What?s in a life
If you don?t live it, baby
What?s in a kiss
If you can?t feel it, baby
The lips maybe sweet
Are they sweet enough to contain it
You?re wasting your time
Hanging out of windows painting
And once in a while
The paper smile must come and go
And where it blows, who knows
And where it goes, it goes
I?m glad to see it go
I?m glad to see it go
What?s in a dream
If you can?t be it, baby
Look away, your painted smile
Look away, your painted smile
Oh, wipe away your painted smile
Wipe away your painted smile
Look away, your painted smile
Oh, wipe away your painted smile
He is not the God of creation
But he is the Lord of the morning light
With his song that floats on up
Through the daybreak, it is he
That will stay day long
Through the dawns early mists that rise with the river
Through the sound of the world once more awake
You can feel his presence strong
As forever as once more
The ice of night time melts
Give way the day, give way the day
As we start again
Is he not the God of creation?
Is he not the God of creation?
Think I'll pack it in
and buy a pick-up
Move down to L.A.
Find a place to call my own
and try to fix up.
Start a brand new day.
The woman I'm thinking of,
she loved me all up
But I'm so down today
She's so fine, she's in my mind.
I hear her callin'.
See the lonely boy,
out on the weekend
Trying to make it pay.
Can't relate to joy,
he tries to speak and
Can't begin to say.
She got pictures on the wall,
they make me look up
From her big brass bed.
Now I'm running down the road
trying to stay up
Somewhere in her head.
The woman I'm thinking of,
she loved me all up
But I'm so down today
She's so fine she's in my mind.
I hear her callin'.
See the lonely boy,
out on the weekend
Trying to make it pay.
Can't relate to joy,
he tries to speak and
If you don't want to see me fall
Turn your face to the wall
There's no place left to hide
There's no tears to cry
'cos my eyes have dried
If you can't see my wanting from afar
Can't you see how distant We are
There's no way I can lie
There's no tears to cry
'cos my eyes have dried
Time before the thief
Who stole a precious mind
Wrapped it up in silk
And sold it to the night
If you don't want to watch,
watch me slide
Turn around here inside
Find a place we can hide
There's no tears to cry
There's no place left inside
There's no tears to cry
'cos my eyes have dried
Was that a shooting star I saw?
It's rare for me to make a wish at all
Because I feel that I can only hope
These dangerous times, we are barely afloat
Now I hope the world will heal itself
Our worn out souls along with it
So that you'll get the chance to say
That you have seen a better day
You've got the moon on your pyjamas
And the stars in your eyes
Sweet child you're a dream in disguise
Angels on silver strings hang from above
Let love and laughter shine wherever you go
For your new eyes I've come to see
How beautiful my life can be
And I'll keep this wish this time I think
And blow it in with a kiss upon your head
And I hope the world will heal itself
And our worn out souls along with it
So that you will get the chance to see
A summers blue sky behind green trees
Oh you've got the moon on your pyjamas
And the stars in your eyes
Sweet child you're a dream in disguise
Angels on silver strings hang from above
Let love and laughter shine wherever you go
Got the moon on your pyjamas and the stars in your eyes
Oh sweet child you're a dream in disguise
Got the moon on your pyjamas and the stars in your eyes
Life's complexities trouble your rise
As you attempt to ascend into the high
Is there nowhere else left to run?
But to the Kosmos, men gaze to look for Heaven
Flying high, never come down
Flying high, don't know how to come down
Flying high, never come down
Flying high
Take a ride into the sun
Be the first one on the moon
Take a slide, come back to Earth
It's to the Kosmos, men dare to look for something
Flying high, never come down
Flying high, don't know how to come down
Flying high, never come down
Flying high
No time to spare, destiny is here
No time to lose, better if we choose
Less time to share, people stop and stare
To look for hope above the clouds
To look for Heaven [Incomprehensible]
A world away, a million light years
That's how far destruction seems
Now our dreams are sad, slow creatures
Dying to know who am I, what am I?
Where am I to go?
Who am I, what am I, where am I to go?
Who am I, what am I, where am I to go?
Who am I, what am I, where am I to go?
Who am I, what am I, where am I to go?
Who am I, what am I, where am I to go?
Who am I, what am I, where am I to go?
Who am I, what am I, where am I to go?
Yeah, into the mists of time and space
Where we have no say, over date and place, oh yeah
Don't get embarrassed if it happens a lot
That you don't know how you started
Or where you're gonna stop, oh, yeah
And if at times it seems insane, all the tears in searching
Turning all your joy to pain, in pursuit of learning
Buy a dream and hideaway, can't escape the sorrow
Your mojo will have no effect, as we head into tomorrow
Round and round like a twisted wheel
Spinning in attempt to find the feel, the feel
Find the path that will help us find
A feeling of control over lives and minds, oh, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
And if at times it seems insane, all the tears in searching
Turning all your joy to pain, in pursuit of learning
Buy a dream and hideaway, can't escape the sorrow
Your mojo will have no effect, as we head into tomorrow
Yeah, yeah, yeah
And if at times it seems insane, all the tears in searching
Turning all your joy to pain, in pursuit of learning
Pray and act it will connect, can't escape the sorrow
Your mojo will have no effect, as we head
Into the stars and always up
Drinking from a broken cup
Whose golden gleam is fading fast
Praying that it has not passed
Oh, into tomorrow, oh yeah
Into tomorrow, oh, yeah
Oh, into tomorrow, ohh
Into tomorrow, ohh
Into tomorrow, ohh
Into tomorrow, ohh
She's like a dragonfly with no fire
laughing us with no intent to bound
she's like a horse with no rider
all the space without the chase search within
she's like a seat with no waste
all the drift upon the shiver way
Even the light of a silvery moon
laugh at the life that's inside of you
send in shadows under the trees
bout to the wind who's voice..
She's in the wolf with no people
all the scope without the whole holy up
she's like a dragonfly with no fire
Something told me it was over
When I saw you and her talking.
Something deep down in my soul said cry girl,
When I saw you and that girl walking.
I would rather,
I would rather go blind, boy,
Than to see you walk away from me, child.
So you see, I love you so much
That I don't wanna watch you leave me, baby.
Most of all I just don't,
I just don't want to be free, no.
I was just, I was just,
I was just sitting here thinking
Of your kiss and your warm embrace,
When the reflection in the glass that I held to my lips, baby
Revealed the tears that was on my face.
Baby, Baby, I'd rather be blind, boy,
A clock face ticking on empty time
I only want, what I know is mine
Sound the bells
?Cause here?s the good news
Here?s the one you been waiting for
Your time has come
Ain?t gonna wait no more
Can I get a piece for me?
You know when something?s up
When it hits you hard
You feel like starting over
Straight back for yards
When everything is everything
And everything you see
Sees us doing all the things
That we want to be
Millions march back on their feet
Still no sign from a those who preach
Teach me not
They don?t represent me
Oh, here?s the one you been waiting for
Don?t waste time
Ain?t gonna wait no more
Can I get a shout for me?
You know when something?s up
When it hits you hard
You feel like starting over
Straight back for yards
When everything is everything
And everything you see
Sees us doing all the things
That we want to be
Nothing?s new and nothing gained
When all is lost and nothing claimed
Except the parts
They keep for their selves
Oh, here?s the one you been waiting for
Don?t waste time
Ain?t gonna wait no more
Oh, can I get a shout for me?
Oh, can I get a little piece for me?
He's the keeper of the lantern
Stone believer, it's a passion
And he knows it, he's the keeper
Hanging wishes up upon our stars
He waits for love
Yes, he waits for love
Flying without a hand
Trying to brave the land
Something about the man
Is about to make a stand
With nothing but liars and thieves
Trying to purchase thee
Where are you meant to go?
Fly away, high away
He's the one knight on a knackered stallion
His rusty armour so undervalued
Does he know that he's a reason
He's asleep now but never gone
He just waits for love
Yes, he waits for love
Yes, he waits for love
(He's the keeper)
Hanging without a cloud
Hoping to draw a crowd
If he's willing to take a chance
Come on people, make a stance
From tiny acorns grow
All kinds of seekers
And where are they meant go
But fly away, high away
In the maelstrom of indecision
Shine believer find the season
He helped to grow it, he's the keeper
Hanging wishes up upon our stars
He waits for love
Yes, he wait for love
He's the keeper of the lantern
He's the message in the midnight of your madness
In the backlog of conversations
We never had
We wait for love
Yes, we wait for love
Take off my nothing inside
take off my nothing inside
green green green green
temple ..green, your simple guide
bubble back in young beat
glad ..their rights
and this the..far and..
the quite time
fake it, take it, leave it, feel it
fake it, take it, leave it, feel it
fake it, take it, leave it, feel it
fake it, take it, leave it, feel it
fake it, green, take it, green,
leave it, green, feel it,
I'm around 'til you just don't want me
I hope that time will never come
I'm not out to steal your money
Wanna spend my time with you
Walking through this world of wonder
I wonder if I'll ever change
I could say that I'm looking to grow
I just don't know what into
I think of all the places I wanna go
I wanna go there now with you
I think of all the places
I've been too
Were just times
that I wasn't with you
We're together 'til the good
Grasp & Still Connect
Grasp & Still Connect
Lord takes us
He keeps a special eye on you
I'm not out to steal your money
I shake and fall underneath my sheets
The sunlight creeping from my head down to my feet
Telling me to rise and face the light again
I plead to dawn, "Don't make me move"
I just want to vanish and forget all that's true
Just one more night and I'll be alright
Hoping to be everything you want
Wish I was the man that you thought I was
Waiting to fly up on eagles wings
But truth be told, I'm not that bold at all
I'm more frightened
White lightening
So sudden and blinding
Yet no more enlightened
Yeah, just a little more frightened
I'm gonna get it back, I'm gonna get it soon
I've just got to catch up for my world to resume
To be light and to hold you tight while you dream
And I stand alone so does everyone
It brings us closer as a strange distant sum
So near so far like distance stars
Hoping to be everything you want
Wish I was the man that you thought I was
Waiting to fly up on eagles wings
But truth be told, I'm not that bold at all
I'm just frightened
Woke up this morning like that
And all the roads that lead back
Lead me nothing that is nowhere
Lonely
Just a little more frightened
White lightening
So sudden and blinding
Yet no more enlightened
Minds alive on Friday Street
Summerflys around my feet
And we still stars are in my eyes
Mine's alive on Friday Street
A pulse goes on, on Friday Street
Time seems longer against its beat
And it's easy to remember and it's hard to forget
That mine's alive on Friday Street
Mine's still alive on Friday Street
And I see myself and it seems so clear
I can walk through the world like I'm not really here
Oh, I really don't care
'Cause mine's still alive on Friday Street
Lives alive on Friday Street
You start to shine in a brand new heat
And the world is clear like you're not really here
And I see myself and I'm really not scared
Mine's still alive on Friday Street
Mine's still alive on Friday Street
It's like plugging back in on Friday Street
Dream this dream if you can
Find your way through the sand
Sing like you already own it
Our birth and right is to show it
Find the torch, burn the plans
State your case in your and
Scream like you already know it
Our deed is all that we owe it
Live your life if you can
Light the way with all that's at hand
Shout like you already know it
Zoomin' in and out
Of the slow traffic mumble
Tryin' to make the lights
Get me out of the jungle
It's been a long day
And my head's all gone
I'm tryin' to make the bridge
Before the sun goes down
Fast car, slow traffic
Fast car, slow traffic
Fast car, slow traffic
Fast car, slow traffic
Zoomin' in and out
Through the slow traffic mumble
Tryin' to make the lights
Get me out of the jungle
It's been a long day
And my head's all gone
I'm tryin' to make the bridge
Before the sun goes down
Fast car, slow traffic
(Slow traffic, slow traffic)
Fast car, slow traffic
(Slow traffic, slow traffic)
Fast car, slow traffic
(Slow traffic, slow traffic)
Fast car, slow traffic
(Slow traffic, slow traffic)
Fast car, slow traffic
(Slow traffic, slow traffic)
Fast car, slow traffic
(Slow traffic, slow traffic)
Fast car, slow traffic
(Slow traffic, slow traffic)
Fast car, slow traffic
Here is the tune I've been writing -
It's been so long in the making
I hope it's worth all the waiting
Not expect it all for free
Everything has one ending -
Everything has it's day
There's no use in pretending -
Yes, everything has a price to pay
You just asked me, what I'm feeling
Should I tell you?
Nothing is for free
Can't you see - can't you see?
Everything has a price to pay
Everything that I know is -
Hanging on my melody
Everything has an ending
Yes, everything has a price to pay
You just asked me, what I'm feeling
Should I tell you?
Nothing is for free
Can't you see - can't you see?
Everything has a price to pay
Here is the tune I've been writing -
It's been so long in the making
I hope it's worth all the waiting
Once I had a love, so sweet
I remember
She'd follow me to the ends of the earth
And I'd let her
And everyday was like a fairy tale
Cuts me up inside to think how I failed
I see now so well
She gave me everything she had
For the better
Gave me the key to her soul
And I let her
Once I had a love, so sweet
I remember
She'd follow me to the ends of the earth
And I let her
And every day was like a picture book
The look of love was in her eyes and how she'd looked
But me, I just took, I just took
A fellow traveler with nothing planned
Still loving me the way I am
Expecting nothing in return
And through her I got to learn
Too late for me to see
I measured out my destiny
Too late for me to know
Where I lost her, I don't know
Every day was like a picture book
The look of love was in her eyes and how she'd looked
But me, I just took, I just took
Once I had a love, so sweet
I remember
She'd follow me to the ends of the earth
And I let her
Once I had a love, so sweet
I remember
Follow me to the ends of the earth
And I let her
Yes, I let her, I let her slip away
(Once I had a love, so sweet)
(I remember)
Let her slip away
(Follow me to the ends of the earth)
Careful not to end or fight no one
Still battling on when all your enemies are gone
Making you look dumb and stupid
The empty ring
What would it matter to you
If the pleasure always planned
Was right there in your hand
But no one there to see that
The empty ring
The taste of fear and fortune,
The smell of toil and sweat,
But if the crowd ain't there to see it
It's just another memory
It's just another memory
In an empty ring, empty ring
Words of wisdom fail you
The time it takes to fall
The crowd ain't there to see it
It's just another memory
Just another memory
In an empty ring, empty ring
With a world to listen to ya
Still rattling on when
All the war is won
You just don't know when to give up
Is it strange? Is it weird?
They come in search of truth
We must be on the spot
There?s only me and you
[Incomprehensible] and you were fine
All your thoughts are out of mind
It doesn?t start, it will not end
But how will we be moved?
On a rock spinnin? through the echoes round the sun
Echoes round the sun, echoes round the sun
On a rock spinnin? through the echoes round the sun
Echoes round the sun, echoes round the sun
On a rock spinnin? through the echoes round the sun
Looks up and comes down
Floatin? through the void
Gettin? lost, gettin? found
Is somethin? we can use
It doesn?t start, it doesn?t end
How will we be moved?
On a rock spinnin? through the echoes round the sun
Echoes round the sun, echoes round the sun
I?m on a rock spinnin? through the echoes round the sun
Echoes round the sun, echoes round the sun
I?m on a rock spinnin? through the echoes round the sun
Echoes round the sun, echoes round the sun
I?m on a rock spinnin? through the echoes round the sun
Me and you on a spot
Me and you on a spot
Me and you on a spot
Me and you on a spot
Me and you on a spot
This is the one...
In the early morning rain
With a dollar in my hand
And an aching in my heart
And my pockets full of sand
I'm a long way from home
Lord, I miss my loved ones so
In the early morning rain
With no place to go
Out on runway number nine
Seven-O-seven set to go
But I'm stuck here on the ground
Where the cold wind blows
Now the liquor tasted good
And the women all were fast
There she goes my friend
She'll be rolling down at last
Hear the mighty engines roar
See the silver bird on high
She's away and westward bound
Far above the clouds she'll fly
Where the morning rain don't fall
And the sun always shines
She'll be flying over my home
In about three hours time
So the airports got me down
It's no earthly good to me
Cause I'm stuck here on the ground
Bored and drunk as I can be
You can't jump a jet plane
Like you can a freight train
So I'd best be on my way
It seems the songs we're singing
Are all about tomorrow,
Tunes of promises that we can't keep.
Every moment bringing
A love I can only borrow,
You're telling me lies in your sleep.
Do you think I'm not aware
Of what you're saying
Or why you're saying it?
Is it hard to keep me where
You want me staying?
Don't go on betraying
Don't make promises you can't keep.
Don't make promises you can't keep.
We had a chance to find it,
Our time was now or never,
You promised me things that I need.
And then the things behind it
Took away the chance forever,
You're telling me lies in your sleep.
Do you think I'm not aware
Of what you're saying
Or why you're saying it?
Is it hard to keep me where
You want me staying?
Don't go on betraying.
You have never been there
Till you've heard the fat girl sing
Then nothing else matters
Everything just pales with in
Hanging round the corners
Shouting at the top of your voice
Sing you little fuckers
Sing like you got no choice
I believe it's true
We are everywhere
And I feel the wind
And it feels so high
There really is no purpose
Definitely is no need
To go running round the houses
Like a racehorse on speed
[Chorus:]
I believe again
We are everything
And I feel the wind
And it gets so high
Come on
Baby let's go
Oh come on
Baby let's go
You say where to
I say I don't know
I just need to run
And you need it too
And I catch your eye
And I feel the wind
And it feels so high
We're planting up the acorns
Wondering to where they'll lead
We're planting up the acorns
Wondering to where they'll seed
[Chorus]
You say where to
Why do birds suddenly appear
Every time you are near?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you.
Why do stars fall down from the sky
Every time you walk by?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you.
From the day that you were born
The angels got together
And decided to created a dream come true
So they sprinkled moon dust in your hair of gold
And starlight in your eyes of blue.
That is why all the guys in town
Follow you all around.
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you.
From the day that you were born
The angels got together
And decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moon dust in your hair of gold
And starlight in your eyes of blue.
That is why all the guys in town
Follow you all around.
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you.
Just like me (Just like me)
They long to be
Close to you.
I dreamt I was falling
I never woke up
I dreamt of a warning
A yellow buttercup
I dreamt of an old flame
Smoking cigarettes she was
Dancing in a night club
With some other men
I was holding up a drugstore
My gun was soaking wet
From the barrel I was trapped in
That went tumbling over the edge
You can call me number 5
Please please my my
Call me number 5
Call me number 5
That's why I'm still alive
The barrel cracked up open
I was swimming for my breath
I knew I wouldn't make it
She watched me catch my death
So I switched on the TV
Saw me reading out the news
Another story of a plane crash
Another story of bad news
The TV cracked up open
My baby boy came out
I was looking at my new wife
I ain't writing home about
You can call me number 5
Please please my my
That's why I'am still alive
I boxed around a sliver ring
With blood stains on my face
I cut the dog with yellow teeth
And drove his car away
You can call me number 5
Please please my my
Call me number 5
Call me number 5

Here I am back home again
And I'm here to rest
All they ask is where I've been
Knowing I've been west -
I'm the family's unknown boy
Golden curls and envy hair
Pretty girls with faces fair
See the shine in the black sheep boy -
If you love me let me live in peace
And please understand
That the black sheep can wear the golden fleece

Black river
Black river
The story?s still unfolding and like the river rolling
It's always moving like a tide
Seemingly unchanging
But of course nothing stays the same, you'll see
Black river
Black river
Black river
And if I scratch the surface and try to look to learn it
Oh, what fantastic worlds I'll find
Stay with me forever
Buried deep inside my mind, you'll see
Sha, la, la, la, la
I'm casting out my line
Although it?s floating by
Who knows what I'll find, we'll see
It's early in the morning, I watched a raindrop falling
So slim and tender from a leaf
It stays with me forever
Buried deep inside of me, you'll see
Black river

They say it's your birthday

I'm glad it's your birthday
Happy birthday to you
You may find me in the street somewhere
I may be floatin' round the bins
I'm lookin' for something
Something's lookin' for me
I don't know what it is
True connection to the open sky
That always calls me on
Like I'm waitin' for something
That I've seen somewhere
I don't know where that was
Daylight time for bag man
To carry home his heavy load of nothing
Daylight time for bag man
To carry home his heavy load of nothing
Try to catch me in the mornin' air
Try to see me as I swim
I'd sooner be lookin'
Than to know everythin'
In every part of me
Daylight time for bag man
To carry home his heavy load of nothing
Oh My Loved Ones
Look Long Into the Night
Your Daddy's Gone
But only For a While...
And in the Darkness
Of God's Great Sky
Know My Heart Is Always with You
And There's Really No Need to Cry
Come On
Think Upon
Look along
Be Happy Children
Sleep Now Safe and Tight
Think with Such Joy
Of What Tomorrow Might Bring
Be Happy Children
For My Love Knows no Limits
When it Comes to Loving You
And My Heart is Always With You
And I am Always By Your Side
Sleep Now Safe and Tight
Think with Such Joy
Of What Tomorrow Might Bring
Be Happy Children
Think Upon
Look along
Tiny, tiny shades of light
Came dancing gently through my window
As I waved goodbye
To my other life
The dying planet grew darker still
My thirsty engines took me up and then
I could see the embers
Of Andromeda
I'm not anywhere, I'm here
And I'm not waiting any longer
For this world to be still
I raise my glass and I remember her
Oh sweet Andromeda
My mood gets lifted
with the gravity's pull
Looks like I'm smiling
But I'm dying too
We only mirror our surroundings
I come to you when you least expect
I call to you to come with me now
I ask of you to drop all things of absolution
And whatever may be in your hands
All on a misty morning
I come to you with love
All on a misty morning
I come to you, I come to you with love
I talk to you as a lover should
With a voice close to your ear
If I may get so near enough
Oh, you might hear, what I hear
It was all on a misty morning
I come to you with love
All on a misty morning
I come to you, I come to you with love
Let my hands be nimble
Let my tongue be quick
Let my loins move slowly
Against your skin
Let my face and mind
Disappear for a while
Let my kisses rain
Down like silk
Let our spit and sweat
Mingle into one
Let it form a stream of union
That would always run forever on
It would have no start and know no end
It would have no start and know no end
All on a misty morning
I come to with love
All on a misty morning
There must be some kind of way out of here
Said the joker to the thief
Theres too much confusion
I cant get no relief
Businessman they drink my wine
Plow men dig my earth
None will level on the line
Nobody of it is worth
Hey hey
No reason to get excited
The thief he kindly spoke
There are many here among us
Who feel that life is but a joke but uh
But you and I weve been through that
And this is not our fate
So let us not talk falsely now
The hours getting late
All along the watchtower
Princes kept the view
While all the women came and went
Bare-foot servants to, but huh
Outside in the cold distance
A wild cat did growl
Two riders were approachin
And the wind began to howl
All along the watchtower
Hear you sing around the watch
Gotta beware gotta beware I will
Yeah
Ooh baby
Beak to bleak and crossing every line
The winds of change
and the sons of time
7 & 3 is the strikers name
Washing his hands as he walks away
Come on! Come on! The sky is bright
Our wings are clipped
but we still might fly away
Curse my master and his slave
And his soldiers too
Curse those fuckers in the castle
They're all bastards too
I could be stable, I might be fine
I don't want to fuck it up this time
Well, she loves me
tender, she loves me strong
We're star crossed lovers
and we sing this song
Away in the night like a thief of old
Not too skinny and not too bold
7 & 3 is the strikers name
Aim high - hum along lady
Too shy bite my tongue and maybe
Unfair if you ever leave me
I need you like water needs a flower
Deep ravines within ourselves
Dranken nights up on the shelf
God strike me down
if I don't come through
For you're my baby and I need you
Aim high - come along lady
I'm your sky and you are my night time
Forever, will you won't
You stay with me
Never leave you don't you leave me too
Darkness has no place
I feel I'm in with a chance
To make this world dip and spin
Convince us we will win,
We will win
We will win
Come fly - hum along lady
It feels far but life is just in house
Let's aim high
And save ourselves forever
Something worn, like a blanket thrown
Your tender heart, your crystal spirit
Keeps me warm and safe from harm
Wrapped around my shoulder
I love to wake and watch your face
And while you sleep, I fall for you again
Is it true, what I feel for you
Wish I could help it through
So you could feel it too
And the leaves around my door
And the sunlight in the hall
And darkness that will fall
Make me want you more
Morning breaks on the icy flakes
That collect around our window
It's cold outside brings a harsh goodbye
With clouds at our mouths as we breath a sigh
As I look like a long lending book
Page after page we are turning
But is it true what I feel for you
Wish I could help it through
So you could feel it too
And the leaves around my door
And the sunlight in the hall
And darkness that will fall
Just make me want you more
Oh, make me want you more
I had 22 dreams last night
And you were in 21
The last one I saved for myself
Just to save my soul
I got this scene by a fireplace
I lose control and I?m in that place
I had 22 dreams last night
I had 45 films to watch
But only one I could take
The mysteries of a secret smile
It was so dull a place
Pull me over with a loving kiss
I remember all the things I missed
You mean so much with the darkness gone
I fell in love with the morning sun
I had 22 dreams last night
You pick me up with a loving kiss
I remembered all the things I missed
You mean so much with the darkness gone
I fell in love with the morning sun
I had 22 dreams last night
And you were in 21
That?s enough for a lifetime of dreams
That?s enough for anyone
22, 22, 22, 22
22, 22, 22, 22
22, 22, 22, 22
Just to save my soul
Just to save my soul
Just to save my soul
Come on in, admission's free
I won't refuse those who wanna see
I said it's strange
Bring your loved ones, those you hold dear
Bring them all, there's no restrictions here
Said it's strange
Don't look for blame as an easy escape
There's nothing on show that isn't your shame
Lord, your shame
Don't look for blame as an easy escape
There's nothing on show that isn't your shame
Lord, your shame
So come on in, it's a small price to pay
I won't refuse those who've lost their way
I saw you today, or at least I think it was
It's hard to say, we've all changed so much -
Compelled to look, but I hid my face
It's hard to trace - these feelings
Gone so soon, the time I spent with you
And like an old, old tune-keeps running through my head-
I wanted to say, so many things
But my mouth went dry - and one word & I'd cry.
Slender bride, your beauty shines from you
And forever more, I'll be on your side for sure -
A light in your life, that always burns for you
As time passes.... so quickly.
The final stage, we've both reached some way
As we board our trains to different stations
And the parts we play, and the things we say,
Words on the way - to discovery
This is no time for fumbling
This is no time for turning down
This is no age for wandering
All too much, we stumble and fall, we stumble and fall
This is no time for mumbling
This is no time for forgetting your lines
This is no time for tumbling
All too much, we stumble and fall, we stumble and fall
This is no time for dreaming
When you sleep, you wake to find
That something or someone
Has stolen your precious time, as you start to climb
Oh, as you start to climb, yeah
As you start to climb, yeah, yeah
Oh, as you start to climb
This is no time to go missing
Though it is the time we'd like to most
This is no age to go fishing
All too soon it will be us getting caught, as we stumble and fall
A hazy mist hung down the street
The length of it's mile -
As far as my eye could see
The sky so wide, the houses tall
Or so they seemed to be,
So they seemed to me so small,
And it gleamed in the distance
And it shone like the sun -
Like silver & gold - it went on & on.
The summer nights that seemed so long
Always call me back to return -
As I re-write this song
The ghosts of night, the dreams of day
Make me swirl & fall & hold me in their sway -
And it's still in the distance
And it shines like the sun -
Like silver & gold - it goes on & on.
The rolling stock rocked me to sleep -
Amber lights flashing 'cross the street
And on the corner.....a dream to meet -
going on & on.
On & on,
On & on..........
Instrumental
Try, try if you can
Try and get your back up
And off the golden sands
Try to get somewhere
That you've never been
As you sit upon the green grass
There's still so much to see
And find yourself, waiting just to try, try, try
Just what you want
Is just what you'll get
As you fall upon the real path
Or take the safer bet
Bet, you can give everything
Still none comes to you
You can hang life 'round you're neck, y'all
I may hang there too
And find myself, waiting just to try, try, try
Oh, to find myself, waiting just to fly, fly, fly
What I'm trying to tell you
Try, try if you can
Got to get your back up
And off the golden sands
Just all remember, if only for you
You can hang life 'round your neck, y'all
Or you can be there too
And find yourself just waiting to fly, fly, fly
Oh, to find yourself, waiting just to fly, fly, fly
Oh, to find yourself, waiting just to fly, fly, fly
The place in mind is always sweet
It's wonderful and time to meet
Here's a new thing - gotta change up
Got to let go of the past
For a new thing - for some new ground
Only change will make it last
The hardest thing is letting go
But once you do, life starts to flow
Here's a new thing - gotta change up
Got to let go of the past
For a new thing - for some new ground
Only change will make it last
The dream in mind is always sweet
It's wonderful and time to meet
The race in time - is us to live
The dream in mind is peace you see
If you want it, you got it
Midnight star
Light the way
For thoughts that change
Like night to day-
And bless the course
That runs in time
No matter how for-
Shine my way.
I've gotta need to be loved
Yes I want to be loved
I gotta need to be loved
Like anyone else
Bring the night
Go bring all your thunder
Nearer the light
Shine here amongst us
No matter the flight
Fill me with wonder
No matter how far-
Shine my way-
I've gotta need to be loved
Come to my side, child
Don't live me alone
Stay with me, darling
I can't face this on my own
I need you to be with me
I need you in life
I want to forever
Be yours and you'll be mine
Oh child
'Cause we're going places
We've never thought we could
Through all kinds of changes
But still our hearts beat closer
More and more, more and more
More than just a heartbeat
From the city floor
More than just the bright lights
That led me to your distant shore
I'm keepin' my head up
And out of the sand
Way 'cross the rooftops
I'm gonna plan our escape
Oh child
'Cause we're going places
We've never dreamt we could
Through all kinds of changes
But still our hearts beat closer
More and more, more and more
We're going place
We've never dreamt we could
Through all kinds of changes
But still our hearts beat closer
I close my eyes but sleep won't come
You're in my waking dreams
It's a feeling right inside of me
'Til you're in my arms again
The prayer I ask is where I'm going to
Without your undying love
I'm as worthless as a cold, cold sun
That shines for no one at all
How many time must I return
From distant oceans just to learn
That with your song
Illumination comes
I close my eyes and I hear no one
I'm in a moving film
It's black and white and beautiful
And when I open my eyes - will it then be morning?
First rays of summer sun - coming down and shining
And if I open my heart and say all that you would want
Hope faith and all I believe will be there to greet me
And if I open my head remember all that I said
Hey baby what will you find - coming down to meet you?
A lot of words but no one talking
I don't want no part of that
Something real is what I'm seeking
One clear voice in the wilderness
And put an end to all your doubts -
We're words upon a window
Written there in steam
In the heat of the moment
At the birth of a dream
Vapors passing really
So I'm touched by the thoughts
In the fleeting minutes after
The time that we've come
Come and go, you know, where the wind blows
An' though I couldn't define
I can only tell you that i
Got a heavy soul
Tuesdays dressed in shearling
Anchored on belief
In the sunlight on the water
Or rain upon a leaf
And I'm touched by its' beauty
And I hope to touch you too
'cause I still seek the same things
That I once sought to be true
And you know, that where the wind blows
Tho' I wouldn't be lying, when I tell you that i
Got a heavy soul
It's a joy to know
I've got a heavy soul
We're words upon a window
Written there in steam
In the heat of the moment
Everything is what it seems
Vapors passing nearly
So I'm touched by the thought
That I can't be beaten and I can't be bought
And you'll know....................
That where the wind blows
I don't think I'd be lyin'
When I tell you that i
Where angels meet, their words are whispers
As sea touches shore, the clouds move swiftly
And me, so small compared to it all
Like a fly on the wall
As pieces sweep, their meaning is still no clearer
And under my feet, there's nothing to stop my own free fall
Down and down I go and compared to it all
I'm a fly on the wall
Our children sleep, resting our hopes and wishes
The night in between, I'm casting my scope, just fishing
Ooh, and in spite of it all, oh, I look at me so small and compared to it all
I'm a fly on the wall
And compared to it all
I'm a fly on the wall
Oh, compared to it all
Like a fly on the wall
Compared to it all
Well she's waiting, by the window-
worth a fading tear
That will slip in to tomorrow-
And have no fear-
She may look back and blame you
-But you only blame yourself,
And what good would it all do you
If you thought she blamed herself-
It's a lonely life, as bits of dust and rocks
When you shake it off - It is all you have
In the time it takes, to find another space
Get to live again - she'll run and run
Still she's waiting, by the window - with a fading tear.
Well she looks upon, high - flying silver dream-
How she wishes how
She could climb aboard, never coming back
-Turn on it all
Still she's waiting, by the window-
She has no fear.
I'll meet you on a bus at dawn
An open top one if it's warm
And if the flowers are in bloom
I'll lose myself to you
I'll be whistling down a street
You'll hear our footsteps start to meet, to meet
Then the craziness begins oh, like chalk and cheese
We'll shoot the breeze heading up west in an open top deck
Oh, I'm trying to remember just what for
Then we'll talk for hours and hours
About nothing much at all
With your long hair falling down, falling down
In curl after curl
And I, too shy to ask what I really want to do
Racked with my own self doubt, oh, I stumble and fall
Like a fool in love, oh, my mind in the air
Heaven knows where yeah, heading up west in an open top deck
Oh, I'm trying to remember just what for
Meet you on a bus at dawn
An open top one if it's warm
If the flowers are in bloom
Unfit to live in - just about fit to burst
Like the banks of a swollen river
As bitterness does its worst
Working on your feelings - eating you all up
But you have to shake that shit to move on
An' let love carry you on up -
(It's just) bitterness rising - taking you off
Bitterness rising - you gotta shake those feelings off
Unfair to give in - and never changes course
If you have the choice before you
You must take it with a force
Or the past will take you - keep you from the truth
As bitterness rises - from the ashes of your youth
(It's just) bitterness rising - taking you off
Bitterness rising - you gotta shake those feelings off
Moments in time
finding the space
To be what'cha wanna be
The things you never got
Life you never had
The dreams that you once dreamed
Waiting your time - finding the space
To be what'cha wanna be
Well, just be!
Or the past will take you - keep you from the truth
As bitterness rises - from the ashes of your youth
(It's just) bitterness rising - taking you off
Bitterness rising - you gotta shake those feelings off
Our eyes meet across the floor
We don't have to say much more
Let's take a chance on it
Say you'll be mine till spring
We kiss on crowded streets
We kiss every time we meet
Who knows how it will go
Stay here till summer comes
I love you more each day God sends
Love you because you are my friend
Don't say our luck has blown
Stay here till autumn goes
Let's make love in the light
Sleep together every night
The sunny sand we ran along
Everyday began upon
The summer's kiss of love and adventure
And every June that we fell into
Left a mark upon us too
Etched forever as a moment we'd remember
And we'd remember
The empty woods where we played
Every hour of every day
The holidays went on forever
And in the woods was a soldier's tomb
The ghost of which looked over you
And God was there amongst the trees
We felt his whisper as the summer's breeze
And every night and every day
I learnt to love it in a special way
As I remember
What it's like to walk amongst butterflies
Jesus could hear us now
Bending all His words of which He's proud
But the carpenter was only making invitations
Voicing the opinions of others
Sending down a word that travels well
Only as a vessel, as a bell
And the violence you've mistaken
In the words you took to be taken
And the images of hatred
Against all that we're worth
All that we love
All that is true
All we hold dear
Mohammed could see us now
Shaking down the walls but not as prayer
And the power games that play out
And the lies that come within out
And the sacrifice should make out
Against all that we are worth
All that we love
All that is true
All we dream of
All that you give
All for we live
Gentle rain, here it comes again
Rattling 'round your window, threatening pain
Coming on like a friend but you know better than
Yesterday that held you by a different hand
Hail and stone and all that's gone
When everything that passes cuts to the bone
Turning like a wheel, dragging a heavy stone
A weight that ties you down that you will never own
Strange to see a paper smile on thee
When once you moved and light the room for us all to be
Now if I could be the sun I'd shine in your life
If I could be the rain I'd rain from your eyes
Can you put a smile back on all these different faces
Of all these people from such different places
And if you can succeed what then will you achieve
With a different tune to play you've been saving for a rainy day, hey
Will you heal the scar that's on the years been wasted?
The tears spent on the past just filling spaces
Or is love forever gone banished to a smaller part?
Hide behind your wall and start to get to the very heart
Oh, an' if you wanna shoot the moon
Make sure that you know, why?
Careful fly too soon
Better let someone else try
I'm the weaver of your dreams, I get rid of your bogeyman
I'm here to smash the shell you're under
An' get you into another thing
I'm the weaver of your dreams, I put paid to the rocketman
I'm here to break the spell you're under
And get you started with another plan
Could you put a kiss back on the lips so twisted
Waiting for the chance to start dipping into wishes
Or is love forever gone, banished to a smaller part
Hide behind your wall and start to get to the very heart
Oh, an' if you wanna shoot the moon
Make sure that you know, why?
Careful fly too soon
Better let someone else try
I'm the weaver of your dreams, I get rid of your bogeyman
I'm here to smash the shell you're under
An' get you into another thing
I'm the weaver of your dreams, I put paid to the rocketman
I'm here to break the spell you're under
And get you started with another plan, with another plan
And in the midst of the darkest night
Think of me and hold me tight
So that I might live to see
All the weaving of my dreams
I'm the weaver of your dreams, I get rid of your bogeyman
I'm here to smash the shell you're under
An' get you into another thing
I'm the weaver of your dreams, I put paid to the rocketman
I'm here to break the spell you're under
And get you started with another plan
What 'bout it
Oh, get you into another thing
I'm the weaver of your dreams, I put paid to the rocketman
I'm here to break the spell you're under
And get you started with a, with another plan
Oh, with another plan
Do you still feel the same way about it
Like you always said you would?
Or has time re-written everything
Like you never dreamt it could?
Remember when we wanted to fly forever
On a magic carpet ride
Well, forever seems a long time
Cutting us down in size
No matter how hard we try
And I could see all I had done
Just chasing dreams across the fields
In the shadow of the sun
I plan to have it all while I'm still young
And chase the fields across my dreams
In the shadow of the sun
In the shadow of the sun
Once upon a time, I might have told you
But now nothing seems that plain
However much we're changing
There are some things the same
And those same things still say
And I could see all I had done
Just chasing dreams across the fields
In the shadow of the sun
I plan to have it all while I'm still young
And chase the fields across my dreams
In the shadow of the sun
I know a place not far from here
Where lifes sweet perfume fills the air
And if you want I'll take you there
If you want I'll take you there
Into the light out of the dark
Where only love can heal your heart
And if you want I'll make a start
If you want I'll make a start
This place I say half hour away
Is that so far to go so near
And further on we'll find the time
And lose the discontent we feel, that we feel
I feel the time we've yet to reach
Is not yet within our own belief
But I feel sure that time'll come
If it goes on at all
Said if it goes on at all, whoa if it goes on at all
Hey, it goes on and on and on and on
I know a place not far from here
Where fresh cut grass will fill your hair
And if you want we'll lay a while there
If you want we'll lay a while there, yeah
Crystal words that hang so fine - But none will stop us falling
Pulling faster all the time - Powerless to warnings
If you feel the hand of God - Can you guide it holy man?
But you are only flesh and blood - Waiting too for judgement
Still saying! Daddy don't weep Momma don't cry
Everybody gets their time
Don't be sad don't be blue - Pray for me
I'll do the same for you
Split the Father and the Son - Hand words to ease them
If you have the hand of God - Can you heal us holy man?
But you are only flesh and blood - Waiting too for judgement
Still saying!
Hang on tight hang on strong
How much longer can this go on
But don't be sad don't be blue - It's one more thing set to confuse
Daddy don't weep Momma don't cry
Every fear must have its time
Don't be sad don't be blue - Pray for me
I'll do the same for you.
Can you bring the hand of God?
Can you stop the killing?
Get us back to hope and love - Never more be needed -
Still saying!
Bloods gone bad bad to worse
Worse to bad and back again
But don't be sad don't be blue - It's one more thing sent to confuse
Momma don't weep Daddy don't cry
Every fear must have its time
Don't be sad don't be blue - Pray for me I'll do the same for you.
Past midnight's hold, the world's awaiting
I'll wait for your love, but I close my eyes
As there's pain, too in paradise
Dear brothers
Hey baby say, thats what you're thinking
Know, I know it
Yea, feel I'm sinkin', know I feel it
I know you feel it too
Across the water, there's a boat that
Will take us away
Yeah, yeah, yeah
It is shining for me
All I needed to be
But I can't find the key
But to make me believe
Late at night, the world is dreaming
Way past the stars, and ignore our fate
All twinkle too late to save us
Save ourselves
Hey baby do just what you're thinking
Know, I know it, yea, if I'm sinking
Know I feel it, I know you feel it too
Across the water, there's a boat that
Will take us away
Out of the sadness
Far from the madness
Into sunlight, out of the sinkin'
Know I feel it, I know you're feelin' too
Across the water, there's a boat that
Will take us away
There we will stay
Yeah, yeah, yeah
As worlds end with new ones to open
As you change your aim
And lives thrown up into the open
Get on a different plane
Words meant but were left unspoken
Take on a different name
And hearts mend that once were so broken
As time heals the pain
'Til you can find it in your heart
To forgive if not to forget such a part
Of life that you lost
As worlds end with new ones to open
As you change your aim
And lives thrown up into the open
Get on a different plane
Words meant but were left unspoken
Take on a different name
And hearts mend that once were so broken
As time heals the pain
Never stopping like rain dropping
To find a place on earth
You'll find you'll wake up fresh instead
You'll find me less inside your head
With words left unsaid
As you lose your mind, Something else in time
And faces strange - rearrange
Come taste the wine
Come lose yourself
Taste this time
But keep it well -
only love it all
With heart and head
For there is no drinking,
After your dead.
Dive and swim
In the amber ocean
See all that you can
In this new emotion -
And embrace it now
Before it's skin sheds
for there is no drinking,
After your dead.
Stand back to back
With yourself again
As your spin and reel
Like a new found friend,-
And have it all
With heart and hands-
For there is no love making,
After your dead.
And today is but a second
If tomorrow you may die
And empty pages glistening
In Eternity's lie
And time is buy an essensce
Encased upon the wall
That brings our day of reckoning-
Much closer to us all.
Light the candle
And burn it well
For only time knows
What it cannot yet tell,
Only love it all
With heart and head
For there is no drinking,
After your dead.
The changingman
Is happiness real or am I so jaded?
Can't see or feel like a man been tainted
Numbed by the effect, aware of the muse
Too in touch with myself, I light the fuse
I'm the changingman
Built on shifting sand
I'm changingman
Waiting for the bang
(Bang)
As I light a bitter fuse
Our time is on loan, only us to borrow
An' I know
But I can't be today, I can be tomorrow
Yea, all I see, the more I know
The more I know, the less I understand
I'm the changingman
Built on shifting sands
I'm a changingman
I' m waiting for the bang
To light a bitter fuse
Bigger part ahh, when our instincts act
A shot in the dark, a movement in black, yea
More I see, more I know
The more I know, the less I understand you
(Changingman)
Yea eee aaa
Built on shifting sands
I don't have a plan
I'm changingman
Waiting for the bang
To light a bitter fuse
(Changingman)
Built on shifting sands
Yea eee yea
I'm a changingman
Waiting for the bang
To light a bitter fuse
I saw you today, or at least I think it was
It's hard to say, we've all changed so much
Compelled to look, but I hid my face
It's hard to trace, these feelings
Gone so soon, the time I spent with you
And like an old, old tune, keeps running through my head
I wanted to say, so many things
But my mouth went dry and one word and I'd cry
Slender bride, your beauty shines from you
And forever more, I'll be on your side for sure
A light in your life, that always burns for you
As time passes, so quickly
The final stage, we've both reached some way
As we board our trains to different stations
And the parts we play and the things we say
Words on the way, to discovery
I saw you today, or at least I think it was
I saw you today, or at least I think it was
Only surface, just skin deep, when words fly like angels around your feet
Need the something, feel real inside, cling together as together we ride
Round and round and up and down, here we go in this moment in time
Round and round and up and down, here we go again ....
Movin' up to collect our prizes, sinkin' fast into life's surprises
Win today but lose tomorrow, lending what we just can't borrow
Time around us, time to live, getting back everything we give
Freedom's truth is the only truth, o save the day and pave the route
Be the first one on your block to know the time and own a clock
Whose hands point upwards to the stars to tell us if our future's far
whereever you go
whatever you do
it's pure and simple
i'll be there for you
You've been sayin that im drivin you crazy
And i havent been around for you lately
But ive had a few things on my min
When im with you i am filled with emotion
Cant you see, im given you devotion
And a love like this is hard to find.
**BRIDGE**
I know i've been walkin around in a daze (baby,baby)
You gotta beleive me when i say
ooh ooh
Where you go (i'll always be there)
whatever you do (i know im gonna be there)
Its pure and simple
ya ya
i'll be there for you.
Whatever it takes
im gonna be there
i swaer its true
u Know im gonna be there
its pure and simple
ya ya
i'll be there for you
pure and simple gonna be there
The sun shone pink on white walls
And the trees stood so tall
Defiant, proud, loud against the sky
There's no sign, there's no plan
There ain't even a helping hand
Just the bitter tang of sweet virtue
Don't waste your time, don't hesitate
Oh life is but a moment, you can't wait
Go and have your fun, go and lose your mind
Can you get back to the ones you left behind?
The sun shone pink on white walls
And the trees stood so tall
Defiant, proud, loud against the sky
Yeah when it comes, it comes quick
When you're least expecting it
But the top's the bottom, the bottom is all you got
Don't waste your time, don't hesitate
Oh life is but a moment, you can't wait
Go and have your fun, yeah go and lose your mind
Can you get back to the ones you left behind?
And sun shone pink on my wall
And the trees stood so tall
Defiant, proud and loud against the sky
Yeah when it comes, it comes quick
When you're least expecting it
But the top's the bottom, the bottom is all you got
The sun shines pink on my wall
And the trees stand so tall
I'm empty now, funny how
I've got a grapefruit matter, it's as sour as shit
I have no solutions, better get used to it
I don't need a ship to sail in stormy weather
I don't need you to ruffle the feathers on my peacock suit
Peacock suit
I'm Narcissus in a puddle, in shop windows I gloat
Like a ball of fleece lining in my camel skin coat
I don't need a ship to sail in stormy weather
I don't need you to ruffle the feathers on my peacock suit
Did you think I should on my peacock suit
I'll [Incomprehensible]
Nemesis in a muddle in a mirror I look
Like a streak of sheet lightnin' in my rattlesnake shoes
I don't need a ship to sail in stormy weather
I don't need you to ruffle the feathers of my peacock suit
Did you think I should of my peacock suit
Did you think I should
Peacock suit, yeah
Peacock suit, yeah
Peacock suit, yeah
She's in my head, she's in my mind
And I'm all she says
Yes she knows me well, as well as you can
She's on my side, I often hide
In her magic hair
And there I learn again, the joy of life
The wonder of it all
And this I feel, that through her I learn
Another way to be
Sha la la la la
Sha la la la la
Sha la la la la
Sha la la la la
You take my breath,
I feel consumed
Take it all, I want to know
What lies behind,
Your smiles and shells
Wish I knew you well
Come in my head, come in my mind
You can only love, when you open up
To be yourself
Sha la la la la
Sha la la la la
Sha la la la la
i know a place not far from here
where fresh cut grass can fill your hair
and if you want i'll take you there
if you want i'll take you there
you took the light out of the dark
where only love can heal your heart
and if you want i'll make it start
if you want i'll make it start
this place is a
half hour away
is that so far to go so near
and further on, we'll find the time
lose the discontent we fear,
that we fear
i know a place not far from here
where fresh cut grass will fill you hair
and if you want i'll take you there
if you want i'll take you there
I feel the time we've yet to reach
is not yet within our own belief
and i'm safe - sure that it will come
as it goes on and on
yeah it goes on and on
oh it goes on and on
woah it goes on and on
YEAH it goes on and on and on and on ...
i know a place not far from here
where fresh cut grass can fill your hair
and if you want we'll live out there
if you want we'll live out there
Have you ever chased the night
That sailed in front of you
On a boat that's bound for hope
But left you in the queue
With your shouting waving
Taunting flaunting friends as crew
Telling you that every lie
You ever heard was true
Have you stood upon that dock
Have you ever had it blue ooh
Have you ever woke to find
The morning didn't come
Undelivered with the papers
Stolen by someone
Found the milkman bound and gagged
And the shackles round the sun
And the holder of the keys
Turns out to be the one
The girl you had your heart set on
Have you ever had it blue
Have you ever had it blue
Have you ever had it blue ooh
Have you ever watched the day
Passing by your door
Powerless to change its course
Your feet fixed to the floor
When all the people
You thought you knew
Are changing more and more
Even the girl you thought would see
Seems only to ignore
The only love worth fighting for
Have you ever had it blue
Have you ever had it blue
Ever had it blue
Have you ever had it blue ooh
(Ever had it blue)
Have you ever had it blue
Have you ever had it blue
Have you ever had it blue
It's in a stroke of a brush
It's in the wave of a hand
And a view so bright
It turns the world
And makes all right
Yet seems to say, come what may
You will be what you will
With a brush stroke of fate
You will have to think again
If you touch by it all
Lucky to be brushed by it all
Than walk a crooked mile
In a worn out smile
That you found on the ground
Somebody else threw it down
Looks like that you're the next blessed in town
It's in a verse that you read
It's in the tune in your head
That makes all light
Turns your world
Illuminates life
And makes you see
All the love within
Is still yet to come out
Like the word, as a bang
You have to think again
And get touched by it all
Than walk in single file
In a worn out smile
That you found on the ground
Somebody else threw it down
Looks like you're the next blessed in town
[Incomprehensible]
So the word, as a bang
You will have to think again
Than walk in single file
In a worn out smile
That you found on the ground
Hidden in the back seat of my head
Some place I can't remember where
I found it just by coincidence
An' now I'm all hung up again
Just like a soldier from the past
Who won't be told it's over yet
Refusing to let down his gun
He'll keep on fighting 'til his war is won
He's gotta hurt someone
He'll keep on fighting 'til his war is won
Waiting for the moment
Keep on looking for a sign
Extraordinary, trying to cease the war inside
On fire
Hidden in the back seat of my head
Some place I can't remember where, oh yes
I found it just by coincidence
An' now I'm all hung up again
Autumn blew it's leaves at me
Threatening winter as I walked
Summer always goes so quick
Barely stopping like my thoughts
Which dip and spin and change so fast
I have to wonder, will I last
Through the windows of the train
I caught reflections of a paper cup
Hanging small in a pale blue sky
Never knowing which way's up
Above the clouds, what's to be found
I have to wonder, will I be around
As my anger shouts at my own self doubt
So a sadness creeps into my dreams
When you're scared of living but afraid to die
I get scared of giving and I must find the faith to beat it
Yeah, yeah yeah
Must be me that's rushing by
Time just lingers on the wind
Bristlin' through my open fears
I wonder what it's going to bring
Above the clouds, what's to be found
I have to wonder, will I be around
Run and hide, run and hide
I catch the sail at evening tide
Run and hide, run and hide
I catch the sail at evening tide
Run and hide, run and hide
Unfit to live in - just about fit to burst
Like the banks of a swollen river
As bitterness does its worst
Working on your feelings - eating you all up
But you have to shake that shit to move on
An' let love carry you on up
(It's just) bitterness rising - taking you off
Bitterness rising - you gotta shake those feelings off
Unfair to give in - and never changes course
If you have the choice before you
You must take it with a force
Or the past will take you - keep you from the truth
As bitterness rises - from the ashes of your youth
(It's just) bitterness rising - taking you off
Bitterness rising - you gotta shake those feelings off
Moments in time
Finding the space
To be what'cha wanna be
The things you never got
Life you never had
The dreams that you once dreamed
Waiting your time - finding the space
To be what'cha wanna be
Well, just be
Or the past will take you - keep you from the truth
As bitterness rises - from the ashes of your youth
(It's just) bitterness rising - taking you off
The sunny sand we ran along, every day began upon
Summer's kiss of love and adventure
And every dune that we fell into left a mark upon us too
Etched forever as a moment we'd remember, ohh, we remember
The empty woods where we played, every hour of every day
The holidays went on forever
And in the woods was a soldier's tomb
The ghost of which looked over you
And god was there amongst the trees
Felt his whisper as the summer's breeze
Every night and every day I learned to love it in a special way
As I remember, what it's like to walk amongst butterflies
Ohh, butterflies, yeah, butterflies, ohh, butterflies
And in the woods was a soldier's tomb
The ghost of which looked over you
And god was there amongst the trees
Felt his whisper as the summer's breeze
Every night, every day life touched my soul, in a way
As I remember, what it's like to walk amongst butterflies
I'm invisible
Float across the floor
You can't even see me
Drift through walls and tables
And you still don't believe me
I'm not one to give up
But I feel I'm at a loss
To you I'm invisible
Pass through doors and windows
You won't even know it
There was a time
I thought every hair on my body was alive
And so it was
Now you can't even see the granted time
I'm not one to give up but I feel I'm at a loss
The world doesn't roll in a dark hall
I just feel the color drain from me
Hey, I'm tellin? you I?m become invisible
Invisible
I skim across the floor
You can't even see me
I make a joke and toss a line
Till no one there can see me alive
I don't want to give up
But I feel I'm at a loss
I'm invisible
Packing up, baby
Packing up, baby
Packing up, baby
Packing up, baby
Packing up, baby
Packing up, baby
Shaking up, baby
I breathe the new day, baby, wild and free
As alive and fresh as it used to be
Spring wind blowing straight through the window
And a message tied to the breeze
And I hear this is a new day
Swear this is a new way
It won?t be before you feel it, too
You may think I?m drugged or crazy
But I haven?t felt like this for so long
I?ve been boxed up, locked up in a cage
But I?ll undo the chains with my own hands
And I hear this is a new day
Swear this is a new way
It won?t be before you feel it, too
And I hear this is a new day
Swear this is a new way
Driving nowhere, going no place
I'm just drifting, I've got low faith
I'm just waiting for a tide
To take me nowhere, along for a ride
Pleasure sifting, can you keep it?
And as I'm drifting, it's hard to feel it
And I feel I'm floating in a time
I am driving nowhere, just along for a ride
Driving nowhere, just along for a ride
I've nowhere to be, only leave some miles behind
And within me I see, there's places I've yet to find
Driving nowhere, getting someplace
I am just restless, I'm curious
And I'm waiting for a tide
To take me nowhere, just along for a ride
I'm driving nowhere, just along for a ride
I only want you, I only want you
You're the one bright star in my eyes
I only need you, I only need you
You're the one bright star, shine for me
Without you I feel nothing
My one bright star shine for me
I only love you, I only love you
You're the one bright star in my life
I only need you, I only need you
You're the one bright star, shine for me
Without you I feel nothing
You do something to me
Something deep inside
I'm hanging on the wire
For love I'll never find
You do something wonderful
Then chase it all away
Mixing my emotions
That throws me back again
Hanging on the wire, yeah
I'm waiting for the change
I'm dancing through the fire
Just to catch a flame an' feel real again
Hanging on the wire, yeah
Said I'm waiting for the change
I'm dancing through the fire
Just to catch a flame, an' feel real again
You do something to me
Somewhere deep inside
Hoping to get close to
A peace I cannot find
Dancing through the fire yeah
Just to catch a flame
Just to get close to
Just close enough to tell you that
You do something to me
Fly on wings of speed
That will bring you home to me
I'll never be free, the darkness I see
So wait for your smile
Though my hands are tied
My feet are bound by fate
With clay at the base as I sit and wait
What visions I see
In dreams she floats on a stream
With Jesus at the helm
The water reeds that beg
Her boat along the way as she comes to me
Now as the light is falling
Candle left to light the way
Sailing home to morning
She comes to me calling
To brighten up my darkest day
And the world fades away with her smile oh yea
I wait for your smile yea
Yea yea
Fly on wings of speed
That will bring you home to me
I'll never be free, the darkness I see
As I wait for your smile
Oh yea
I wait for your smile yea
I got a song, it ain't got no melody
I'm gonna sing it to my friends
I got a song, it ain't got no melody
I'm gonna sing it to my friends
Will it go 'round in circles?
Will it fly high like a bird up in the sky
Will it go round in circles?
Will it fly high like a bird up in the sky
I got a story, it ain't got no moral
Let the bad guy win every once in a while
I got a story, it ain't got no moral
Let the bad guy win every once in a while
Will it go 'round in circles?
Will it fly high like a bird up in the sky
Will it go 'round in circles?
Will it fly high like a bird up in the sky
I got a dance it, ain't got no steps to it
I'm gonna let the music move me around
I got a dance it, ain't got no steps to it
I'm gonna let the music move me around
Will it go 'round it circles?
Will it fly high like a bird up in the sky
Will it go 'round it circles?
The sun came out and hung above
Over our heads but far enough to see
A bomb exploding in another town
Children choking on a poison cloud
While on the streets, where lovers once walked
Side by side in idle talk
Bullets fall like unholy rain
People change as the panic sets in
A frightened baby by her dead mother's side
In a brutal world where there's nowhere to run, hide or cry
Now nothing feels the same way
Feels like it's changing again
Upon a street with no name
It's hard to find you again
La, la, la
La, la, la
La, la, la
I ran as fast as my feet could fly
Down country lanes where I took my time
Time like a hound snapping at my heels
I got past thinking so I could feel
Feels like a film playing in my head
And I kept rolling down green surrey hills in spring
Now I don't feel the same way
Feels like I'm changing again
Upon a street with no name
It's hard to find me again, yeah
La, la, la
La, la, la
La, la, la
The sun came out and hung above
Over our heads but far enough to see
You dont have to take this crap
You dont have to sit back and relax
You can actually try changing it
I know weve always been taught to rely
Upon those in authority -
But you never know until you try
How things just might be -
If we came together so strongly
Are you gonna try to make this work
Or spend your days down in the dirt
You see things can change -
Yes an walls can come tumbling down!
Governments crack and systems fall
cause unity is powerful -
Lights go out - walls come tumbling down!
The competition is a colour tv
Were on still pause with the video machine
That keep you slave to the h.p.
Until the unity is threatend by
Those who have and who have not -
Those who are with and those who are without
And dangle jobs like a donkeys carrot -
Until you dont know where you are
Are you gonna realize
The class wars real and not mythologized
And like jericho - you see walls can come tumbling down!
Are you gonna be threatend by
The public enemies no. 10 -
Those who play the power game
They take the profits - you take the blame -
When they tell you theres no rise in pay
Are you gonna try an make this work
Or spend your days down in the dirt -
You see things can change -
Let's you and I blow gently on
The embers of today
Now the night is here to tell us
To be in love
Let us not talk harshly now
Our time is to reconcile
Now the night is here to tell us
To be in love oh, to be in love
Now the night softly says
That the world is here to stay
Falling out of misty dreams
We arrive so swift it seems to be
No velvet dress can compare
To your beauty face so fair
And your grace shall carry you through
To a better place and I shall follow you
I shall follow you to be in love
Let's cast the wind that brought us here
'Til we know not when
Now the night is here to tell us
To be in love
Oh, to be in love
Oh, to be in love
I Walk On Guilded Splinters
(Mac Rebennack, a.k.a. Dr. John Creaux)
Some people think they jive me
But I know they must be crazy
Don't see dey misfortune
Guess they just too lazy
J'suis the Grand Zombie
My yellow belt of choison
Ain't afraid of no tom cat
Fill my brains with poison
Walk thru the fire
Fly thru the smoke
See my enemy
At the end of dey rope
Walk on pins and needles
See what they can do
Walk on gilded splinters
With the king of the Zulu
Kon kon, the kiddy kon kon
Walk on gilded splinters
Kon kon, the kiddy kon kon
Walk on gilded splinters
'Ti Alberta ('ti Alberta)
'Ti Alberta ('ti Alberta)
'Ti Alberta ('ti Alberta)
'Ti Alberta ('ti Alberta)
Roll outta my coffin
Drink poison in my chalice
Pride begins to fade
And y'all feel my malice
Put gris gris on your doorstep
Soon you'll be in the gutter
I can melt your heart like butter
A-a-and I can make you stutter
Kon kon, the kiddy kon kon
Walk on gilded splinters
Kon kon, the kiddy kon kon
Walk on gilded splinters
'Ti Alberta ('ti Alberta)
'Ti Alberta ('ti Alberta)
'Ti Alberta ('ti Alberta)
Waiting on an angel
One to carry me home
Hope you come to see me soon
Cause I don't want to go alone
I don' t want to go alone
Now angel won't you come by me
Angel hear my plea
Take my hand lift me up
So that I can fly with thee
So that I can fly with thee
And I'm waiting on an angel
And I know it won' t be long
To find myself a resting place
In my angel's arms
In my angel's arms
So speak kind to a stranger
Cause you'll never know
It just might be an angel come
Knockin' at your door
Knockin' at your door
And I'm waiting on an angel
And I know it won't be long
To find myself a resting place
In my angel's arms
In my angel's arms
Waiting on an angel
One to carry me home
Hope you come and see me soon
Cause I don' t want to go alone
I don't want to go alone
Don't want to go
Yellow strands mingle into red
Just in warm air blows, down upon her soft bed
She licks my face the feeling spreads
I'm up in Suzes' room, flowers blooming full
I'm up in Suzes' room, where life goes so soon
She's anything that you can call free
She's everything that she wants to be
She has everything that you could want to see
I'm up in Suzes' room, flowers bloom in full
I'm up in Suzes' room, where time goes so soon
Soon, against the moon a big sky paints, but she calls the tunes
She's cool that way, how I wish it could stay forever that way
No one moves, no one can
Luck rolls it's coins, they land where they stand
To make us everything that you never planned
I'm up in Suzes' room, people blooming full
Yes yes, in Suzes' room, where life goes so soon
Suzes' room
Up in Suzes' room
Up in Suzes' room
I took a trip down boundary lane
Tryin' to find myself again
At least the part I left somewhere
Buried under a hedgerow near
A lazy bridge on a hot afternoon
Water glistening while it plays a tune
Cloud burst on a rainy day
Wiping all my sleep away
Uh huh, oh yeh, uh huh, oh yeh
Always there to confuse and fool you
And in my mind I saw the place
As each memory returned to trace
Dear reminders of who I am
The very roots upon which I stand
And there they were for all to see
My long lost used to be's
And all the dreams I had to dream
Were really something not make believe
Uh huh, oh yeh, uh huh, oh yeh
Always there to confuse and fool you
Uh huh, oh yeh, uh huh, oh yeh
Always there to confuse and fool you
A lazy tree by a wishing well
I wish now that I could tell
If all the dreams I have to dream
Are really something I make believe
I make, make believe
Uh huh, oh yeh, uh huh, oh yeh
Uh huh, oh yeh, uh huh, oh yeh
A lazy tree by a wishing well
I wish now that I could tell
If all the dreams I used to dream
Are really something I make believe
Always there to confuse and fool you
Always there to confuse and fool you
Uh huh, oh yeh, uh huh, oh yeh
Always there to confuse and fool you
Oh yeh, oh yeh, oh yeh
Always there to confuse and fool you
Always there to confuse and fool you
Uh huh, oh yeh, uh huh, oh yeh
Two fat ladies at my door'
Over the hills and far much more
Seeking the teats of mother and child
Some marked bitter, others mild
Two fat ladies click, click, cock
I've gone too far and far too quick
Yester, yesterday is gone
Very nice then but now all worn
Dry that, dry that tear away
Come back when the world has changed
On and on and on we go
Courage and brave for all on show
On and on, on and on we go
Two fat ladies- 88
Chatting and waiting on a garden gate
Two young fellows not too late
What's the time andWhat's our fate?
Sugar, sugar - ain't it sweet
Loves your mind but rots your teeth
Looking for sugar for my bowl
Up the apples
and down the road Been all over
this town today
But can't find my feet
or stand up straight
Silver veils that dance and hide
Golden tales lay on their side
Raise my glass, I'm in the pink
I'm sitting here
waitinq for the sun to sink
Well, once I was a lover
With beautiful long brown hair
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
When I walk down any street
Men would stop and stare
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Boys would whistle
And their eyes would shine
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
My skirt would swish
To show my long strong legs so fine
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
So fine
Was a time, I was a mother
Darling children would come for me
I loved them and I'd feed them
And in their eyes such love I'd see
They'd call my name in times of need
And I'd be there
(And they loved me)
And they loved me
(And we loved you)
And I loved them
(And they loved me)
And they loved me
(And we loved you)
Once I was a man
My cock as hard as wood
I stood as strong as any tree
Look back, the winds are catching me
So, my woman, love me
And you know I am strong
I was raised and nude as trees
I stood
My baby loves me
(My baby loves me)
My baby loves me
(My baby loves me)
My baby loves me
(My baby loves me)
I was back to this time itself
Deep and sharp within my empty cell
A comedy of errors I've become
And all my devils, I forgot
And on my name or where I've come
Someone take me back to the fields
Where I need to be
So once again I can stand tall and feel
Everybody let me tell you about my love
Brought to me by an angel from above
Fully equipped with a lifetime guarantee
Once you try it, well i'm sure that you'll agree
[Without love] There's no reason to live
[Without you] And what would I do with the love I give
[All my lovin'] To you I'll be giving
And I promise, as long as I'm living
I'm thinking of you and the things you do to me
That make me love you, now I'm living in ecstasy
I'm thinking of you and the things you do to me
That make me love you, now I'm living in ecstasy
All the times you make me glad that I'm alive
sharing Together, helping me survive
What did you think brought the sun out today
Well its you, let me hear you say
[Without love] there's no reason to live
[Without you] Oh, what would I do with the love I give
[All my lovin'] To you I'll be giving
And I promise, as long as I'm living
I'm thinking of you and the things you do to me
That make me love you, now I'm living in ecstasy
I'm thinking of you and the things you do to me
Was fresh and bright and early
I went towards the river
But nothing still has altered just the seasons ring a change
There stood this old timer
For all the world's first poacher
His mind upon his tackle
And these words upon his mind:
Bring me fish with eyes of jewels
And mirrors on their bodies
Bring them strong and bring them bigger
Than a newborn child
Well I've no use for riches
And I've no use for power
And I've no use for a broken heart
I'll let this world go by
There stood this old timer
For all the world's first poacher
His mind upon his tackle
And these words upon his mind:
Bring me fish with eyes of jewels
And mirrors on their bodies
Bring them strong and bring them bigger
Can you tell the difference, between the pebble and the boy,
Far away in the distance, with the sun in your eyes,
Can you see the footprints, that have merged with the sand,
And you're trying to find them, you find only dry land.
Can you tell the difference, between the pebble and the boy,
Can you follow the heartbeats between the boy and the man,
If you can, if you can.
Can the future, with every step you take,
yet you feel your no further, and your walking away,
Can you tell the difference between the pepple and the man
Far away in the ocean, with his back on dry sand.
Can you tell the difference, between the pepple and the boy,
Can you follow the heartbeats between the boy and the man,
Everyone thinks it's fine
Making cash, coasting time
Everyone thinks it's fair
To be almost free, to be almost there
But not really aware, oh yeah
Anyone can cry
So wipe away the phony tears in your eyes
Don't come 'round here expecting votes
See who charts the course on a sinking boat
And whatever you give
Listen, you give to give
But humanity's so weak if it can it will give
The love of the loved
Oh, the love of the loved
The love of the loved
The love of the loved
The loved, the loved, the loved, the
There's a man down there
And it should be clear
I thought we knew
And believed in it too
And anyone can see why
So wipe away the phony tears you cry
Don't come 'round here expecting votes
See who charts the course on a sinking boat
Oh, whatever you give
Listen, you give to give
But humanity's so weak if it can it will give
The loved of the loved
Oh, the love of the loved
The love of the loved
The love of the loved
The loved, the loved, the loved, the
The love of the loved
Oh, the love of the loved
The loved, the loved, the loved, the
Sunlight, blue sky
See that black boy over there, runnin' scared
his ol' man's in a bottle.
He done quit his 9 to 5 to drink full time
so now he's livin' in the bottle.
See that Black boy over there, runnin' scared
his ol' man got a problem
Pawned off damn near everything, his ol'
woman's weddin' ring for a bottle.
And don't you think it's a crime
when time after time, people in the bottle.
See that sista, sho wuz fine before she
started drinkin' wine
from the bottle.
Said her ol' man committed a crime
and he's doin' time,
so now she's in the bottle.
She's out there on the avenue, all by herself
sho' needs help from the bottle.
Preacherman tried to help her out,
she cussed him out and hit him in the head with a bottle.
And don't you think it's a crime
when time after time, people in the bottle.
See that gent in the wrinkled suit
he done damn near blown his cool
to the bottle
He wuz a doctor helpin' young girls along
if they wuzn't too far gone to have problems.
But defenders of the dollar eagle
Said "What you doin', Doc, it ain't legal,"
and now he's in the bottle.
Now we watch him everyday tryin' to
chase the pigeons away
from the bottle.
And don't you think it's a crime
when time after time, people in the bottle.
Take her by the sun bath
I do it all and I see it clear
All day I am lonely
Pretty about my .. cloud
Baby come home
Down by the .. tell me know
Come on hanging on this waterfall
What is how I just don't know baby come home
Down by the .. tell me know
Come on hanging on this waterfall
What is how I just don't know baby come home
.. to the ashes crush back to the attic and him
Baby come home baby come home
Baby come home
Come home come home Baby come home
A police car and a screaming siren -
A pnuematic drill and ripped up concrete -
A baby wailing and stray dog howling -
The screech of brakes and lamplights blinking -
That's entertainment.
That's entertainment.
A smash of glass and the rumble of boots -
An electric train and a ripped up 'phone booth -
Paint spattered walls and the cry of a tomcat -
Lights going out and a kick in the balls -
I say that's entertainment.
That's entertainment.
Days of speed and slow time Mondays -
Pissing down with rain on a boring Wednesday -
Watching the news and not eating your tea -
A freezing cold flat and damp on the walls -
I say that's entertainment.
That's entertainment.
Waking up at 6 a.m. on a cool warm morning -
Opening the windows and breathing in petrol -
An amateur band rehearsing in a nearby yard -
Watching the tele and thinking about your holidays -
That's entertainment.
That's entertainment.
Waking up from bad dreams and smoking cigarettes -
Cuddling a warm girl and smelling stale perfume -
A hot summers' day and sticky black tarmac -
Feeding ducks in the park and wishing you were faraway -
That's entertainment.
That's entertainment.
Two lovers kissing amongst the scream of midnight -
Two lovers missing the tranquility of solitude -
Getting a cab and travelling on buses -
Reading the grafitti about slashed seat affairs -
(Shoop... Shoop)
And when he wakes up in the morning
It takes him time to adjust
So sick and tired of the money
(Shoop, he's at that dangerous age)
And all the life that is lost
(Shoop, he's at that dangerous age)
If you could only get it back
How high the whirl
Could start to stack
And every chance you gets to fly he goes far
In his car
He likes 2 sugars in his coffee
(Shoop, he's at that dangerous age)
He wants a chick in the office
(Shoop, he's at that dangerous age)
He's touching straight up bay
(Shoop, he's at that dangerous age)
He's on a much higher rage
(Shoop, he's at that dangerous age)
And he will seconds of a frame
He starts to see
And takes the blame
And any chance he gets to run he goes far
In his car, very far
She wears her skirt so much higher...
She has the heir for high flyer
(Shoop, she's at that dangerous age)
She gets down on the student range
(Shoop, she's at that dangerous age)
And all her friends think she's trying
(Shoop, she's at that dangerous age)
She's at that dangerous age
(Shoop, they're at that dangerous age)
She's at that dangerous age
(Shoop, they're at that dangerous age)
(Shoop, she's at that dangerous age)
(Shoop, she's at that dangerous age)
And when he wakes up in the morning
It takes him time to adjust
He's so sick of the money
All I gotta do is think of you
All I gotta do is think of you
I don't care how long this lasts
We have no future, we have no past
I write this now while I'm in control
I'll choose the words and how the melody goes
Along winding streets we walked hand in hand
And how I long for that sharp wind to take my breath away again
I'd run my fingers through your hair
Hair like a wheat field, I'd run through, that I'd run through
And I miss you so, and I miss you so
Now you're gone, I feel so alone
Oh I miss you so
I'd send you a flower, a sunflower bright
'Cause you cloud my days messing up my nights
And all the way up to the top of your head
Sun shower kisses, I felt we had
And I miss you so, oh baby I miss you so
Now you're gone, I feel so low, oh I miss you so, I do
But I miss you so, oh darling I miss you so
Now you're gone, I feel so low, low, oh I said, ?I miss you so?
All I gotta do is think of you, oh and I miss you so
Baby I'm, I'm afraid to say why, oh that I miss you so
The sound of thunder on the ocean when the darken rise
Sunlight are too nice, the sun and kisses on the far off shore
Starlite are too nice, such faces in such a place to be
Starlite are too nice, such faces in such a place to be
Some raindrops that glistened after downpour on a summer's day
A smokefire, a lovefight, a... in the further fields
Starlite are too nice, such faces and a place to be
Starlite are too nice, such faces and a place to be
The whisper around us
I have this feeling of the roots of stars
The deeper breath and they collide
Take my hand and walk back to the car
Starlite are too nice, such faces in such a place to be
Starlite are too nice, such faces in such a place to be
Starlite are too nice, such faces in such a place to be
Starlite are too nice, such faces in such a place to be
Down watery steps
To the oceans roar
A team of wild horses
Play to thunderous applause
What is my meaning?
I try to fathom out
But it's a murky world down there
So I turn around and just swim instead
Ebb and flow
Weak and strong
Ebb and flow
Sexy Sadie what have you done
You made a fool of everyone
You made a fool of everyone
Sexy Sadie ooh what have you done
Sexy Sadie you broke the rules
You laid it down for all to see
You laid it down for all to see
Sexy Sadie oooh you broke the rules
One sunny day the world was waiting for a lover
She came along to turn on everyone
Sexy Sadie how did you know
Sexy Sadie how did you know
the world was waiting just for you
the world was waiting just for you
Sexy Sadie how did you know
We gave her everything we owned
just to sit at her table
Just a smile would lighten everything
Sexy Sadie
I have my thoughts to position
But do I know how to act?
I have no silent ambitions
But does that make me a man
Until I learn all I can
And mean all I understand
As a way of giving
I'm a piece of the earth
I take no offense
I can be who I am
I have no pretense
Only to what you can be
If you want to be
It's a way of living
I've got a pen in my pocket
Does that make me a writer
Standing on the mountain
Doesn't make me no higher
Putting on gloves
Don't make you a fighter
All the study in the world
Doesn't make it science, yeah, oh yeah
So grab a piece in the air
Try and make it sing
Try and be who you can
It's the real thing
I'm into what you can be
If you want to be
It's a way of living
I've got a pick in my pocket
Does that make me a player
Words can't do
What action does louder
Putting on gloves
Don't make you a fighter
And the study in the world
Doesn't make it science, yeah, oh yeah
I've got a pen in my pocket
Does that make me a writer
Standing on the mountain
Doesn't make me no higher
Putting on gloves
Don't make you a fighter
And the study in the world
Doesn't make it science
I've got a pick in my pocket
Does that make me a player
Words can't do
What action does louder
Putting on gloves
Roll along summer
Wispering through my window pane
Wake me up and whole again
With a sway
Skate upon-something,
Get me up and out of bed
Put a volt right through my head
To beyond
You been down and out and blue
Take no notice of the moon - shame
Ol' man river's after you
Said you ain't done what you said you would
It's a shame
Shame
Roll along summer
Breathing life into the world
Creating space that wasn't there
Before
Forever in your shadow
It's darkness I can face
(I'm) proud to feel I can find a place
Somewhere behind
You been down and out and blue
Take no notice of the moon - shame
Ol' man river's after you
Said you ain't done what you said you would
It's a shame - shame
Shame on you
Roll along, beautiful lover,
Show me things I've never seen
Remember how we started on a summer's night
Too drunk to care about what might?
You turned my head to kiss your lips
Time stood still as my heart skipped a beat
And if I could I'd take your hand
And lead you off back to the past
I know a trail, a secret mile
Better to cry than never smile
The moonlight shining through your flowered curtains
I think we knew it was us for certain
And just the thing that we hoped for
Was building up into something more
Oh, I've been searching, searching
Trying to find the words to say
Oh, I've been searching, searching
Trying to get back to the love we made yesterday
I think we'll find a way
Oh, I think we'll find a way
I think we'll find a way
Remember how we started on a summer's night
Too young to know about what might
Just as well as we might not
Of ever started on this course at all
Remember how we started on a summer's night
Remember how we started
Remember how we started on a summer's night
Remember how we started
I think we'll find a way
Push it along, push it along baby gonna ride the train, ride it baby
Push it along, push it along baby gonna ride the train, ride it baby
The desert moon is falling across the sands hoo, hah hoo,hah

Beware false prophets, take a stand
My fortune cookie cracked up in my hand
More advice to fill up your head
More empty words from the living dead
Seek to explain what can't really be said
How disappointed I was
To turn out after all
Just a porcelain God
That shatters when it falls
Too much will kill you, too little ain't enough
You shout my name but I'll call, you're bluff
Most who see me, see me not for real
We fake and fawn, playing games 'til dawn
I could see, oh, what you can see
Yeah, and I hate too, oh, what you hate in me
How disappointed I am
To find me part of no plan
Just a porcelain God
That shatters when it falls, yeah
When it falls, yeah, yeah
I shake it off and start again
Don't lose control, I tell myself
Life can take many things away
Some people will try and take it all
They'll pick off pieces as they watch you crawl
How disappointed I was
To turn out after all
Just a porcelain God
That shatters when it falls
Shatters when it falls
Beware false prophets, take a stand
Come blackest crow, start the wheat field blow
In a wind so high, it waves and glows
'Til you can't see the wood for the trees
I'm like anybody on their knees
Trying to find a way to make it fit
Picking up sticks
Let's swirl again, take us far away
To the church bell's chime in a far distant field
To a place where so lately so slow
And a time I feel like letting it go
Far away enough to catch our breath
I know where and everyone there
Looking to click, picking up sticks
Come crimson rays, paint us all the same
You know the magic is why and it's here again
Now you can't see the wood for the trees
Now like anybody on their knees
Far away enough to catch our breath
I know where and everyone there
Looking to click, picking up sticks
[Incomprehensible], it comes and goes
[Incomprehensible]
[Incomprehensible]
Share your dreams
Give us all the beam we need
Like electric lights in a ballroom scene
Going on one times one
Shed your chains
To earth like dew and all remain
Forever in another vein
As you slip into another stream
Oh, give your love
Give us everything you've got
The world's a better place for that
When you have love to give
Don't fear not
Not where you're tread
It's only
[Incomprehensible]
Head that sign
For all of us who wait in line
Waiting for the words to rhyme
Bringing on a brand new day
Oh, give your love
Give us everything you've got
The world's a better place for that
When you have love to give
Don't fear not
Not where you're tread
It's only
[Incomprehensible]
Don't fear not
Not where you're tread
So dance little sister, dance
Like you've never danced before
It's just a moment we're going through
This is the new dance that we do
So sing little brother, sing
And turn on everyone
Lift their spirits high
To a place we need to find
Share your dreams
Give us all the beam we need
Like electric lights in a ballroom scene
Going on one times one
Shed your chains
To earth like dew and all remain
Forever in another vein
Going on one times one
One times one
Going on one times one
Yeah, one times one
Going on one times one
Yeah, one times one
I wanna get high, but I never could take the pain
'Cos it would blow away my soul like a hurricane
Like a one man band clapping in the pouring rain
If I know where I'm going, I don't know from where I came
Now you gonna be in summertime?
And are you gonna see the heavens shine
Like lightning in the sky?
As soon as they come
The feelings they go
All alone, on a one way road
As soon as they come
The feelings they go
All alone, on a one way road
On a one way road
I wanna get high, but I really can't take the pain
'Cos it will blow away my soul like a hurricane
I'm like a one man band clapping in the pouring rain
If I know where I'm going, I don't know from where I came
Now you gonna be in summertime?
And are you gonna see the heavens shine
Like lightning in the sky?
As soon as they come
The feelings they go
All alone, on a one way road
As soon as they come
The feelings they go
All alone, on a one way road
Daylight turns to moonlight - and Im at my best
Praising the way it all works - gazing upon the rest
The cool before the warm
The calm after the storm
I wish to stay forever - letting this be my food
But Im caught up in a whirlwind and my ever changing moods
Bitter turns to sugar - some call a passive tune
But the day things turn sweet - for me wont be too soon
The hush before the silence
The winds after the blast
I wish wed move together - this time the bosses sued
But were caught up in the wilderness and an ever changing mood
Teardrops turn to children - whove never had the time
To commit the sins they pay for through - anothers evil mind
The love after the hate
The love we leave too late
I wish wed wake up one day - an everyone feel moved
But were caught up in the dailies and an ever changing mood
Evil turns to statues - and masses form a line
But I know which way Id run to if the choice was mine
The past is knowledge - the present our mistake
And the future we always leave too late
I wish wed come to our senses and see there is no truth
A bag of nerves
I seem to suppress
Alien of being
Not known to duress
Moonshine, moonshine
There's something in the hills
I cannot possess
As dark as Sunday
We're woven again
I pack no meaning
I'm shrunken in vain
Moonshine, moonshine
I'm bleak as Tuesday
I seek no applause
Not really like me
Refuse to go on
My faith has been surely fired
I'm schooled in the test of time
Moonshine, moonshine
There's something in the hills
I cannot possess
I'm deaf as Thursday
I seek to explode
One hour daily
I work to implode
I play out my role
Why I've even been out walking
They tell me that it helps
But I know when I'm beaten
All those lonely films
And all those lonely parties
But now the feeling is off-screen
An' the tears for real not acted, anymore
I'm all mixed up inside
I want to run but I can't hide
And however much we try
We can't escape the truth and the fact is
Don't matter what I do
It don't matter what I do
Don't matter what I do
Don't matter what I do
Don't matter what I do
'Cause I end up hurting you
One more covered sigh
And one more glance you know means goodbye
Can't you see that's why
We're dashing ourselves against the rocks of a lifetime
(In my mind different voices call)
What once was pleasure now's pain for us all
(In my heart only shadows fall)
I once stood proud now I feel so small
(I don't know whether to love or hurt)
Come out to play
Now the light nights are here
We'll swing and sway
Now the light nights are here
Hold us
Now the light nights are here
We'll love
Now the light nights are here
Come away with me
Come and stay with me
Run away with me
Come out to play
Now the light nights are here
And where shall we go
Neither of us knows
Now the days are getting longer
Our thoughts are getting stronger
Come out to play
Now the light nights are here
Come away with me
Come and stay with me
Run away with me
Love me till the next dawning
Make me feel that I'm wanted
I've been so very frozen
Make me feel that I'm chosen
Come out to play
Now the light nights are here
We'll swing and sway
Now the light nights are here
Hold us
Now the light nights are here
Now we'll love
And these leafy mysteries
And the silence of the eve
And in the shady tree's I swing
And in the dappled orchards heat
Where I lie and wait
Wait for the breeze
To carry me
To a place I can lose myself
No time just somewhere else
With a face I can recognize
I forget sometimes, that's always been here
And all these leafy mysteries
And the changing of the seas
And all the secrets of the tide
Just open up the world I find
So small to me
When there's so much to see
So much to be
Day up and the grasses hiss
Get up, like sweet lips they kiss
See now that you're part of it
I forget sometimes, that's always been here
And all these leafy mysteries
Have always been and always will
And in the shady trees I swing
And in the dappled orchard's heat
Where I lie and wait
Wait for the breeze
To hunger me
Wait for the trees
Kling, king, kiLling all the bells to kill
Cry, cry, cry, cry the...
These empty days of tears... do not speak
Bang, bang, bang shot the passers by
I don't care, cry the... wife
The only numbers melting in loss
And I don't care about the coming wave
I take my chances in the grave
Broke myself to my surprise
Then settle up and ride into the night.
Seen anybody, set the... head
Damn, damn, damn show...
Is hard to tell, the fight is from within!
Move, move, move, shine your every light
Lift up ...and... alike
Tell the man that you want him home tonight!
And I don't care about the coming wave
I take my chances in the grave
....matters now,
I can't undo what I don't know how.
And I don't care what the neighbours think
...dripping from the kitchen sink
The death comes down and changes my world
...I find myself so much!
And I don't care about the coming wave
I take my chances in the grave
Broke myself to my surprise
Then settle up and ride into the night.
It's written in the wind
That we're two
Carved out in the sand
That we're real
It's lit up in the stars
That we're true
We're destined in the sky
To be glad
We're hopelessly informed
That we're meant
We're conscious of the fact
That we're supposed to be so sure
And we are, we're driven by the rain to act
We're suspect to the laws
Passed for real
When we're the realest
Friend we've seen
Taken by the hand from above
I really do feel we work for love
It's written in the stars
Meant for us
Soaked into the sand
Made by time
Oh, taken by the hand from above
I really do feel we work for love
And it's written in the wind
That we're two
It's carved out in the sand
That we're real
It's lit up in the stars
That we're true
We're destined in the sky
Instant Karma's gonna get you
Gonna knock you right on the head
You better get yourself together
Pretty soon you're gonna be dead
What in the world you thinking of
Laughing in the face of love
What on earth you tryin' to do
It's up to you, yeah you
Instant Karma's gonna get you
Gonna look you right in the face
You better get yourself together darling
Join the human race
How in the world you gonna see
Laughing at fools like me
Who on earth d'you think you are?
A superstar? Well right you are
Well we all shine on
Like the moon and the stars and the sun
Well we all shine on
Every one, come on
Instant Karma's gonna get you
Gonna knock you off your feet
Better recognize your brothers
Every one you meet
Why in the world are we here?
Surely not to live in pain and fear
Why on earth are you there?
When you're everywhere
Come and get your share
But we all shine on
Like the moon and the stars and the sun
And we all shine on
Come on and on and on on on
Yeah yeah, alright, ah haa, aaaahh
But we all shine on
Like the moon and the stars and the sun
And we all shine on
On and on and on on and on
But we all shine on
Like the moon and the stars and the sun
When I'm in the crowd, I don't see anything
My mind goes a blank, in the humid sunshine
when I'm in the crowd I don't see anything
I fall into a trance, at the supermarket
The noise flows me along, as I catch falling cans,
of baked beans on toast, technology is the most.
and everyone seems just like me,
they struggle hard to set themselves free
and their waiting for the change
When I'm in the crowd, I can't remember my name
and my only link is pots of Wall's ice cream
when I'm in the crowd - I don't see anything
Sometimes I think that it's a plot,
an equilibrium melting pot,
The government sponsors underhand,
When I'm in the crowd
When I'm in the crowd
When I'm in the crowd
And everyone seems that they're acting a dream,
'cause they're just not thinking about each other
and they're taking orders, which are media spawned
and they should know better, now you have been warned
and don't forget you saw it here first
When I'm in the crowd
When I'm in the crowd
When I'm in the crowd
And life just simply moves along
in simple houses, simple jobs
and no ones wanting for the change
When I'm in the crowd
When I'm in the crowd
If I could only be sure that you love me baby
If I could only be sure that you love me darling
I'd climb the highest mountains, I'd swim the deepest sea
I'd take on all your misery to make you happy
I'd turn my world upside down
I'd turn my smile back into frowns
I'd do anything at all
If you'd only let me love you baby
Just to let me love you baby
If I could read your mind so you love me darling
If I could read your heart so you never leave me
There isn't anything I wouldn't do for you
I'd give my life for you baby, yes I would
I'd turn my world upside down
I'd turn my smile back into frowns
I'd do anything at all
If you'd only let me love you baby
Let me, let me love you baby
I'd turn my world upside down
I'd turn my smile all into frowns
I'd do anything at all
If you'd only let me love you baby
Just to let me, let me love you baby
Let me love you baby
Let me, let me love you baby
(Love you baby)
I wanna make it alright
alright between us two
I wanna put things right on this ground
before our time is through
I wanna be the kind
you want to come home too
I wanna be the one who gets to
make it with you with
try to love you better than
I ever done before
I wanna make it alright
I wanna make it alright
I wanna stand up and say
I'll always love you this way
I don't want you feeling blue
at the end of the day
try to put some goodness back
before this good thing goes
I wanna make it with you
I wanna make it with you
straight back like a slave to sorrow
soon we'll come away
get back like a stoned tomorrow
cutting through the day
ah soon, let's fly away
only to find no need
I'm getting itchy feet
I wanna make it alright
I wanna make it alright
And try to love you better than
I ever done before
I wanna make it alright
alright between us two
I wanna put things right on this ground
before our time is through.
I wanna make it alright
I wanna make it alright
I wanna make it alright
Some people think they jive me
But I know they must be crazy
Don't see their misfortune
I guess they're just too lazy
Je suie le grand zombie
My yellow belt of chosen
Ain't afraid of no tomcat
Fill my brains with poison
Walk through the fire
Fly through the smoke
See my enemy
At the end of their rope
Walk on pins and needles
See what they can do
Walk on guilded splinters
With the King of the Zulu
Walk to me, get it, come, come
Walk on guilded splinters
Walk to me, get it, come, come
Walk on guilded splinters
Till I burn up
Till I burn up
Till I burn up
Till I burn up
I roll out my coffin
Drink poison in my chalice
Pride begins to fade
And you all feel my malice
Put gris-gris on your doorstep
And soon you be in the gutter
Melt your heart like butter
And I can make you stutter
Walk to me, get it, come, come
Walk on guilded splinters
Walk to me, get it, come, come
Walk on guilded splinters
Till I burn up
Till I burn up
Till I burn up
The smoke ring?s running through your hair
There's a look in your eyes
I see a glint of smile on your face
But I know that smile ain't mine
Oh, a fool he is
Oh, a fool he is
They say everything has a place in time
But this ain?t one of those times
I feel there's something in the air
Just don?t know what, don't know why
What a fool I've been
What a fool I've been
Have you made up your mind?
Have you made up my mind for me?
Have you made up your mind?
Have you made up my mind for me so easily?
There's a love life breaking through the dawn
But where will I be when morning comes?
I feel it, feel it in my bones
Just don't know where my feeling goes
What a fool I've been
Oh, what a fool I've been
Have you made up your mind?
Have you made up my mind for me?
Have you made up your mind?
Have you made up my mind for me?
They say there's a time and place for everything
But this ain?t one of those times
What a fool I've been
Oh, what a fool I've been
Have you made up your mind?
Have you made up my mind for me?
Have you made up your mind?
Have you made up my mind for me so easily, so easily?
Nothing I'd say or I could do
Could move the mountains from your view
Nothing I see or I could show
There's only darkness now I know
I should have been there to inspire you
Not paint your world a cold, cold blue
I should have been there to inspire you
I could have told you truthful too
I believed in you, told you truthful too
I should have been there
Within your reach
This is not self pity,yeah
Of which I speak
I never took time to see how you'd grown
I never took the care it takes to know
Never took the time to see what you'd found
(Never took the time to see what you'd found)
Oh, had the time to bring you down
I should have been there to inspire you
Not paint your world a cold, cold blue
I should have been there to inspire you
I could have told you truthful too
I believed in you, told you truthful too
I could have been there
I could have been there
More than all this I do not know
Only that love is here to show
Someone a world to be themselves
A place to fall when all else fails
Friends harsh words cut deep and sore
But believe me mine will hurt me more
In those moments before I sleep
When I am truly alone to see
I should have been there to inspire you
Not paint your world a cold, cold blue
I should have been there to inspire you
I could have told you truthful too
I should have been there to inspire you
Not paint your world a cold, cold blue
I should have been there to inspire you
I could have told you truthful too
I believed in you, told you truthful too
Ohh, I believed in you, yeah
(Told you truthful too)
Yeah, I believed in you
They say everything can be replaced,
They say every distance is not near.
So I remember every face
Of every man who put me here.
I see my light come shining
From the west down to the east.
Any day now, any way now,
I shall be released.
They say every man needs protection,
They say every man must fall.
So I swear I see my reflection
Some place high above this wall.
I see my light come shining
From the west down to the east.
Any day now, any way now,
I shall be released.
Somewhere next to me in this lonely crowd,
Is a man who swears he's not to blame.
All day long I hear him cry so loud,
Calling out that he's been framed.
I see my light come shining
From the west down to the east.
Any day now, any way now,
I shall be released.
(Yeah, yeah)
Any day now, any way now,
I've heard them all talking, I guess you have too
Adding flickers to the flame
How I've treated you
I take the blame
But let me say that they don't know
The really don't know, the fools don't know
That I really didn't mean to hurt you
Oh darling, I didn't mean to hurt you
Please believe me when I say
That I didn't mean to hurt you, girl
Whatever they tell you, there's more I could say
Lending motion to the wheel
How you built me up
When I was falling down
But who knows, you just might find
Just might find that I'm just your kind
And I really didn't mean to hurt you
And tho' I was looking there for something
Some things have no meaning
While I was looking there for something
Everything had gone
And still as I looked, I lived
Crystal words that hang so fine but none will stop us falling
Pulling faster all the time powerless to warnings
If you feel the hand of God, can you guide it holy man?
But you are only flesh and blood, waiting too for judgment
Still saying, daddy don't weep momma don't cry
Everybody gets their time
Don't be sad don't be blue, pray for me
I'll do the same for you
Split the father and the son, hand words to ease them
If you have the hand of God, can you heal us holy man?
But you are only flesh and blood, waiting too for judgment
Still saying, hang on tight hang on strong
How much longer can this go on
But don't be sad don't be blue
It's one more thing set to confuse
Daddy don't weep momma don't cry
Every fear must have its time
Don't be sad don't be blue, pray for me
I'll do the same for you
Can you bring the hand of God?
Can you stop the killing?
Get us back to hope and love
Never more be needed
Still saying, bloods gone bad bad to worse
Worse to bad and back again
Don't be sad don't be blue
It's one more thing sent to confuse
Momma don't weep daddy don't cry
Every fear must have its time
Don't be sad don't be blue, pray for me
Everybody,
let me tell you 'bout my love
Brought to me,
by an angel from above
Full equipped

When I find you waiting hours; oh,
You're there to save my life for our obvious goal
We've got a headstart for happiness
For our part, guess we must be blessed
For this feeling that I feel inside
Now I'm not gonna hide
(Yeh, not gonna hide, yeh, yeh, yeh)
The space betweeen us for days has been so far;
I've spent a lonely week
Now I wanna be where you are
We've got a headstart for happiness, for our part
Guess we must be kissed by this feeling to be so strong
Tell me is that so wrong?
All the roads that lead to struggles
bring you back to where you need
Some reassurance in your own depth,
Only you can see, but let others feel
Peace in my mind I'm so happy to find
As I get on my trek with a headstart back to you.
When I find you waiting hours, oh
It's my heart, not my head that takes control
And you've got to lead where your heart says go
and this hope that it turns out so
And that's all that you can hope for
Can you expect much more?
Naive and wise with no sense of time
As I set my clock with a heart beat, tick tock
Violent and mild - common sense says I'm wild
With this mixed up fury, crazy beauty
It's healthy to find all these feelings inside
And I looked up and I spoke to God
And God said look at you, don't look at me
You only call on me when you need me
And when you don't, you hardly think of me at all
I don?t enter your head for weeks at a time
And the times I do are in your despair that you created and not I
And still you look up at me in such pleading terms
That?s how I kinda come to know you
But don't look at me look at you
Don't look at me look at you
And every night I pray to God
Please save the lives of those I love and take me instead
If you really need someone to keep you company
On that golden chair in the glare
Bring your guns to the table and recite your prayer
Lose all your hatred if you are to pray in there
The temple you're seeking is in front of your nose
Because the message you're giving is doing nothing for those
Seek and you shall find
Seek
Seek and you shall find
Seek
The oldest is the young
The youngest the oldest
The oldest is the young
The youngest the oldest
The oldest is the young
The youngest the oldest
The oldest is the young
The youngest the oldest
I?ve got a feeling from the floorboards up
Call it a calling if you like that touch
Call it what you will
I really don?t care too much
I?ve got a feeling and I know it?s right
I get it most evenings, if not every night
It sings in the air
And dances like candle light
Oh, when we play, we play, we play
Mama, from the floorboards up
Oh, when we dance, we dance, we dance
Papa, from the floorboards up
Oh, when we sway, we sway as one
From the floorboards up, from the floorboards up
I get a feeling from the walls and chairs
They tell me of the things that have always been there
And all that is not
Will have to come back to dust
Oh, when we play, we play, we play
Mama, from the floorboards up
Oh, when we dance, we dance, we dance
Papa, from the floorboards up
Oh, when we sway, we sway as one
From the floorboards up, from the floorboards up
I?ve got a feeling and I know it?s right
I get it most evenings, if not every night
It sings in the air
And dances like candle light
When we play, we play, we play
Mama, from the floorboards up
And when we dance, we dance, we dance
Daddy, from the floorboards up
Oh, when we sway, we sway as one
From the floorboards up, from the floorboards up
Like a dream on the ocean
Always drifting away
And I can't catch up
She just skips away on the tide
Sometimes a great notion
Can lead you astray
So weak to devotion
So strong to desire
Come on baby, baby won't you let me ride
Take me off on your sail boat ride
Come on Angels, are on your side
She slips away oh, never stays
Like mercury gliding
Silver teardrop that falls
And I can't hold her
Through my fingers, she's gone
Through my fingers, she's gone
Through my fingers, she's gone
Through my fingers, she's gone
Through my fingers, she's gone
Through my fingers, she's gone
Through my fingers, she's gone
At the foot of the mountain
Such a long way to climb
How will I ever get up there
But I know I must try
Come on baby, baby won't you let me ride?
Take me off on your sail boat ride
Come on now Angels, are on your side
But she slips away oh, and never stays
Like a dream on the ocean
Always drifting away
And I can't catch up
She just skips away on the tide
Just slips away on the tide
She just slips away on the tide
Fly little bird
When you fly
Fly little bird

So fly little bird

So, fly little bird
When you fly
Give the world to feel
You help the world to heal
You give the world to live
When you start to live
So, fly little bird
When you fly
This world we need to leave
We're following your lead
You said the world was love
The love is what we need
So, fly little bird
When you fly
Fly, fly little bird when you
Fly, fly little bird when you
Fly, high in the sky when you
Fly, fly little bird when you
Seems I've got to have a change of scene
'Cause every night I have the strangest dream
Imprisoned by the way things used to be
Left here on my own or so it seems
I've got to get out before I start to scream
'Cause someone's locked the door and took the key
You feelin' alright?
Yeah, I'm not feelin' too good myself
Baby, you feelin' alright?
I'm not feelin' too good myself
Well boy, you sure took me for one big ride
And even now I sit and wonder why
An' then I think of you and I start to cry
But I just can't waste my time and must keep dry
Gotta stop believing in all your lies
'Cause there's too much to do before I die
You feelin' alright?
I'm not feelin' too good myself, yeah
You feelin' alright?
Yeah, I'm not feelin' too good myself, yeah yeah
Don't get too lost in all I say
Though at the time I really felt that way
But that was then and now it's today
Oh, can't get out feeling, so I'm here to stay
'Til someone comes along to take my place
With a different name just a different face
You feelin' alright?
I'm not feelin' too good myself
You feelin' alright?
Yeah, I'm not feelin' too good myself
(Not too good myself, not too good myself)
You feelin' alright?
(Not too good myself, not too good myself)
I'm not feelin' too good myself
(Not too good myself)
You feelin' alright?
Well, she's waiting by the window
With a fading tear
That will slip in to tomorrow
And have no fear
She may look back and blame you
But you only blame yourself
And what good would it all do you
If you thought she blamed herself
It's a lonely life as bits of dust and rocks
When you shake it off, it is all you have
In the time it takes to find another space
Get to live again, she'll run and run
Still she's waiting by the window
With a fading tear
Well, she looks upon high flying silver dream
How she wishes how
She could climb aboard, never coming back
Turn on it all
Find another space, get to live again
Find the other hearts of new [Incomprehensible]
[Incomprehensible], bits of dust and rocks
Don't ever shake them off, she'll run and run
Still she's waiting by the window
The distant echo -
of faraway voices boarding faraway trains
To take them home to
the ones that they love and who love them forever
The glazed, dirty steps - repeat my own and reflect my thoughts
Cold and uninviting, partially naked
Except for toffee wrapers and this morning's papers
Mr. Jones got run down
Headlines of death and sorrow - they tell of tomorrow
Madmen on the rampage
And I'm down in the tube station at midnight
I fumble for change - and pull out the Queen
Smiling, beguiling
I put in the money and pull out a plum
Behind me
Whispers in the shadows - gruff blazing voices
Hating, waiting
"Hey boy" they shout - "have you got any money?"
And I said - "I've a little money and a take away curry,
I'm on my way home to my wife.
She'll be lining up the cutlery,
You know she's expecting me
Polishing the glasses and pulling out the cork"
And I'm down in the tube station at midnight
I first felt a fist, and then a kick
I could now smell their breath
They smelt of pubs and Wormwood Scrubs
And too many right wing meetings
My life swam around me
It took a look and drowned me in its own existence
The smell of brown leather
It blended in with the weather
It filled my eyes, ears, nose and mouth
It blocked all my senses
Couldn't see, hear, speak any longer
And I'm down in the tube station at midnight
I said I was down in the tube station at midnight
The last thing that I saw
As I lay there on the floor
Was "Jesus Saves" painted by an atheist nutter
And a British Rail poster read "Have an Awayday - a cheap holiday -
Do it today!"
I glanced back on my life
And thought about my wife
'cause they took the keys and she'll think its me
And I'm down in the tube station at midnight
The wine will be flat and the curry's gone cold
I'm down in the tube station at midnight
Catch me, I?m falling so fast and I can?t seem to find
All the reasons I had when the purpose was mine
Now I stumble so fast rolling into the night, oh yeah
Kiss me quick before I land and am broken in two
Keep me on the right track, hold my dreams in tact too
I get lost in this place, I get lost, yes it?s true
In the waters I sink and in the waters I drink
Until I rise to the top which in truth is not
The same as below, you gonna put down and show
To make you feel you're alright, to make you feel there?s no fight
Help me, I?m sinking so fast into waters unplanned
That I once held onto but have got out of hand
Now the things that I loved are the things I can?t understand, yeah, yeah
Squeeze me slow before I come to the part of the ground
It?s a million miles up, it's a million miles down
I get lost in between and I wait to be found
In the waters I sink and in the waters I drink
Until I rise to the top which in truth is not
The same as below, you gonna put down and show
To make you feel you're alright, to make you feel there?s no fight
Catch me, I?m falling so fast
Hmm, catch me, I?m falling so fast
In those cold, cold moments
Waiting for that girl to come
Oh, she's the one
Got my hands deep in my pockets
Trying to keep out all the rain
She caused me such pain
But she's got me so
Lord, that girl drive me insane
In that far off distance
I can see the lights of town
It sure bring me down
No I miss them so
Lord, I can't stay here no more
Waiting for the dice to roll
Where I'm heading I don't know
Please don't talk about me when I'm gone
I just hate to move on
From these cold, cold moments
Cold, cold moments
Getting time to get on board
Green Line coach take me somewhere warm
Don't look like she's gonna show
Where I'm heading I don't know, I don't know
Sha la la la, sha la la
Sha la la la, sha la la
Sha la la la, sha la la
In those cold, cold moments
Waiting for that girl to come
Oh, she's the one
Got my hands deep in my pockets
Trying to keep out of the rain
She caused me such pain
She's got me so
Lord, that girl got me insane
Yes, that?s got me so
I just got to let it go
From these cold, cold moments
Crystal words that hang so fine but none will stop us falling
Pulling faster all the time, powerless to warnings
If you feel the hand of God, can you guide it holy man?
But you are only flesh and blood, waiting too for judgment
Still saying!
Daddy don?t weep, Momma don?t cry
Everybody gets their time
Don?t be sad, don?t be blue, pray for me
I?ll do the same for you
Split the father and the son, hand words to ease them
In the other raise of God, that ties my fear
If you have the hand of God, can you heal us holy man?
But you are only flesh and blood, waiting too for judgment
Still saying!
Hang on tight, hang on strong
How much longer can this go on
Don?t be sad, don?t be blue
It?s one more thing set to confuse
Daddy don?t weep, Momma don?t cry
Every fear must have it?s time
Don?t be sad, don?t be blue, pray for me
I?ll do the same for you
Can you bring the hand of God?
Can you stop the killing?
Get us back to hope and love
Never more be needed
Still saying!
Bloods gone bad, bad to worse
Worse to bad and back again
Don?t be sad, don?t be blue
It?s one more thing sent to confuse
Momma don?t weep, Daddy don?t cry
Every fear must have it?s time
Don?t be sad, don?t be blue
In a momentary lapse of my condition
Sent me tumbling down into a deep despair
Lost and dazed so I had no real recollection
Until the rain cleared the air
When you wake to find that everything has left you
And the clothes you wear belong to someone else
See your shadow chasing off towards the shore line
Drifting into emptiness
There are bull-rushes outside my window
And their leaves whisper words in the breeze
Well, tomorrow I'll walk to the harbor
Catch the first boat that's coming in
I'll catch the first boat that's coming in
Like a child too small to reach the front door handle
Maybe just too scared to know what I would find
Now I feel I'm strong enough to take the slow ride
Not knowing when I will arrive
Hey, there are bull-rushes outside my window
And their leaves whisper words in the breeze
And tomorrow I'll walk to the harbor
Catch the first boat that's coming in
I'll catch the first boat that's coming in
I do believe I'm going home
'Cause I don't call this place my own
I'm missing what I had, happy times and sad
More than I ever thought could be
Not knowing when I will arrive
Hey, there are bull-rushes outside my window
And their leaves whisper words in the breeze
Well, tomorrow I'll walk to the harbor
Catch the first boat that's coming in
I'll catch the first boat that's coming in
I'll catch the first boat that's coming in
First boat that's coming in, first boat that's coming in
Like pebbles on a beach
Kicked around, displaced by feet
Oh, like broken stones
They're all trying to get home
Like a loser's reach
Too slow and short to hit the peaks
Yeah, so lost and alone
Yeah, trying to get home
As another pitch shatters
Another little bit gets lost
What else really matters
(Oooh)
Oh, such a cost
Like a loser's reach
Too slow and short to hit the peaks
Yeah, lost and alone
Yeah, you can stay home
(Yeah, trying to get home)
(Yeah, trying to get home)
And another pitch shatters
Another little bit gets lost
Tell me what else really matters
(Yeah)
Oh, such a cost
(Oooh)
Like pebbles on a beach
Kicked around, displaced by feet
Oh, like broken stones
They're all trying to get home
Like a loser's reach
Too slow and short to hit the peaks
Yeah, lost and alone
Yeah, trying to get home
Trying to get home
Trying to get home
Like broken stones
Oh, trying to get home
Ooh, trying to get home
I'm gonna clear out my head
I'm gonna get myself straight
I know it's never too late
To make a brand new start
I'm gonna kick down the door
I'm gonna get myself in
I'm gonna fix up the yard
And not fall back again
I'm gonna clear up my earth
And build a heaven on the ground
Not something distant an' unfound
But something real to me
But something real to me
All that I can I can be
All that I am I can see
All that is mine is in my hands
So to myself I call
There's somewhere else I should be
There's someone else I can see
There's something more I can find
It's only up to me
I'm gonna clean up my earth
And build a heaven on the ground
Not something distant an' unfound
But something real to me
But something real to me
I'm gonna clean up my head
I'm gonna get myself straight
I feel it's never too late
To make a brand new start
To make a brand new start
Can nobody love you
Like I love you, yeah
Can nobody need you
Like I need you, yeah
While you got your head in the clouds
And talking so loud
Can't you see past the stages
It's only when you finally arrive
That you recognize
You been going through changes
Oh, changes
Can nobody kiss you
Like I miss you, yeah
Can nobody tame you
Ain't no chains to hold you
While you got your head in the clouds
And talking so loud
Can't you read, past the pages
It's only when you finally arrive
That you recognize
You been going through changes
Oh, changes
Ah, changes
Oh, changes
Ah, changes
While you got your head in the clouds
And talking so loud
Can't you see, past the stages
It's only when you finally arrive
That you recognize
You been going through changes
Oh, changes
Ah, changes
Oh, changes
Blink and you just might miss it
Blink and you just might miss it
Blink and you just might miss it
Black is the color of my true love's hair
Her lips are like some roses fair
She has the sweetest smile and the gentlest hands
And I love the ground whereon she stands
I love my love and well she knows
I love the ground whereon she goes
I wish the day it soon would come
When she and I could be as one
I go to the Clyde and I mourn and weep
For satisfied I never can be
I'll write her a letter just a few short lines
And I owe death a thousand times
Black is the color of my true love's hair
Her lips are like red roses fair
She has the sweetest smile and the gentlest hands
Lover, there will be another one
Who'll hover over you beneath the sun
Tomorrow see the things that never come
Today
When you see me
Fly away without you
Shadow on the things you know
Feathers fall around you
And show you the way to go
It's over, it's over.
Nestled in your wings my little one
This special morning brings another sun
Tomorrow see the things that never come
Today
When you see me
Fly away without you
Shadow on the things you know
Feathers fall around you
And show you the way to go
I don't care how long this lasts
We have no future, we have no past
I write this now while I'm in control
I'll choose the words and how the melody goes,
Along winding streets we walked hand in hand
And how I long for that sharp wind
To take my breath away again
I'd run my fingers through your hair
Hair like a wheatfield I'd run through
That I'd run through -
And I miss you so - I miss you so
No you're gone I feel so alone
I miss you so
I'd send you a flower - a sunflower bright
`Cause you cloud my days messing up my nights
And all the way up to the top of your head
Sunshower kisses I felt we had
And I miss you so - Oh baby I miss you so
Now you're gone, I feel so low - oh I miss you so, I do
But I miss you so - Oh darling I miss you so
Now you're gone, I feel so low - oh I said I miss you so, I do
All I gotta do is think of you - and I miss you so
Baby I'm... I`m afraid to say why - I miss you so
Dreams schemes and everythings
Fill the dusty corners of your mind
As cars, boats and aeroplanes
Just remind you of a better time
As love's hopes and everyone's
And anyone worth a minute of your time
When unhampered by the agents
Of the governors of the faceless so opaque
As bare tree's and winter winds
Just confine you to a bitter place
A time you can't face
A peace in your mind
We should be playing in the sunshine
Happy to be part of everything
Not to handle the greedy handlers
Brought down and destroyed through their own ways
Oh, liars, liars, smoking on pipes
Dimwit fires, you just throw it on their way
And how's your father today
Was he caught in the rain ? Waiting on a bed
Putting up with the pain
Your three wishes expire
If you're back in the fire
Lock the genie in the shed and put a pistol to his head
Not handcuffed to some wanker who doesn't know me
And doesn't know that our lives are made
And all the efforts of the masses
And all the people who deserve a better fate
Than a time you can't trace
No peace in your mind
A time you can't face
And now you're back in the race
Your three wishes expired
And now you're back in the fire
See you just can't play
But not without a say
Always got to be the man
Always got to have the plan
It doesn't run that way
Into the ether you'll say
Your three wishes expired
And now you're back in the fire
Your three wishes expired
And all the pictures on the wall
Serve only to remind you of it all
The wasted days we could have lived
Oh oh, now we're left with nothing left to give
Was a time I really loved you
When that was I just can't say
The memories merge into one
As each day becomes each day
The clock hands ticking on the wall
Are just reminders of it all
Wasted days we could have lived
Oh oh, now we're left with nothing left to give
Left to give
We used to meet each others' eyes
And that's all we'd have to say
We don't talk that much at all
The further our, our eyes seem to stray
And all the pictures on the wall
Serve only to remind you of it all
The wasted days we could have lived
Oh oh, now we're left with nothing left to give
In a funny kind of way
This empty room was full one day
Full of love that we once shared
Now it all looks so bare
The silent walls whose cracks I feel
Is there room to let the hatred heal?
The clock hands ticking on the wall
Are just reminders of it all
Wasted days we could have lived
Oh oh, now we're left with nothing left to give
I'm not out to convince you
But draw upon your mind
I'm not out to lose you
You know I'm not that kind
All I wanna do is be with you
All I wanna do is be with you
I'm not here to forgive you
I'm neither clever nor confused
I'm not looking to steal you
Don't want you feeling used
All I wanna do is be with you
All I wanna do is be with you
I've given dust, I feel the most
I twist and turn, turn
I'm lost and found
Can you give out?
Can you see them?
Remember
I'm not out to train you
Lead, you follow far behind
I'm not here to claim you
You know I'm not that kind
All I wanna do is be with you
All I wanna do is be with you
Be with you, be with you, be with you
All I wanna do is be with you
Ain't no love in the heart of the city,
Ain't no love in the heart of town.
Ain't no love, sure nuff is a pity,
Ain't no love cos you Ain't around.
Baby, since you been around.
Ain't no love in the heart of the city,
Ain't no love in the heart of town.
Ain't no love, sure nuff is a pity, child
Ain't no love cos you Ain't around.
Every place that I go,
Well, it seems so strange.
Without you love, baby, baby,
Things have changed.
Now that youre gone
Y'know the sun dont shine,
From the city hall
To the county line, thats why
Ain't no love in the heart of the city,
Ain't no love in the heart of town.
Ain't no love, sure nuff is a pity,
Ain't no love cos you Ain't around.
(solo)
Every place that I go,
Well, it seems so strange.
Without you love, baby, baby,
Things have changed.
Now that youre gone
Y'know the sun dont shine,
From the city hall
Woman, to the county line, thats why
Ain't no love in the heart of the city,
There Ain't no love in the heart of town.
There Ain't no love, sure nuff is a pity,
Ain't no love cos you Ain't around.
(solo)
There Ain't no love in the heart of the city,
There Ain't no love in the heart of town.
Ain't no love, sure nuff is a pity,
Ain't no love cos you Ain't around,
You don't even know me
But you hunt me the same
You don't even know me
But you hunt me the same
You don't even see me
But you seek me the same
And you cheat the scales
When you push in
The stakes are fixed
So I can never win
And if all fails you can pull on the line
It's just a whale's tale that I leave behind
You don't take no heed but you won't get my mind
Still you pay no kind keep pulling in
Chain the tide so that I can't swim
And if all else fails you can pull on the line
You don't even know me
But you own me the same
You don't even know me
But you own me the same
And when your net is empty
It's still me who you blame
When the deep blue sea grows dead and still
Take a bow, you had a hand in it
And if all fails you can pull on the line
It's a whale's tale that I leave behind
You don't take no heed but you won't get my mind
And if all else fails you can pull on the line
It's a whale's tale that I leave behind
Said you don't take no heed but you won't get my mind
Everybody doing it
Doing it real good
Everybody knowing it
Like they know they should
Shiny sabers rattling
Long into the night
And everybody saying it
Saying what they like
There are words, there to inspire you
There are words, there to be heard
Maybe none of them will fire you
But none the less, they will make you listen by force
Everybody shouting it
From every place on high
Everybody loving it
Loving what they find
There's blood upon each handshake
Lies upon each word
And everybody killing it
Killing off what's good
There are holes in the divisions
Between the haves and who have nots
There's a bomb for every city
Now they don't know where to stop
And they say there's no provisions
There's not enough to go round
But when it comes to the gun
There's a bullet for everyone, yeah yeah
When it comes to the gun
There's a bullet for everyone, yeah yeah
Everybody wanting it
Wanting it to stop
The chaos and destruction
The bloodshed on the rocks
The pain and deprivation
The losses and the grief
The tired, worn out promises
Of the politicians' brief
There are holes in the divisions
Between the haves and who have nots
There's a bomb for every city
Now they don't know how to stop
And they say there's no provisions
There's not enough to go round
But when it comes to the gun
There's a bullet for everyone, yeah yeah
When it comes to the gun
There's a bullet for everyone, yeah yeah
When it comes to the gun
A storm is raging inside my head
The wind is howling such thoughts of death
Why am I so lost and confused?
Can't find the reason for feeling blue
There's so much I can't explain
Hope this season changes soon
The lightning strikes and the mountains fall
The sea's come crashing against it all
Hang on tight in the tides of change
And get your bearings from those still sane
There's so much I've yet to feel
Hope the seasons changes soon
The serpent tangles in the lion's claw
A cloud of darkness hangs over all
As fires burn in search of sky
So blow embers like fire flies
Hoping love is where they'll lie
And the season changes soon
The lightning strikes and the mountains fall
The sea's come crashing against it all
Hang on tight in the tides of change
And get your bearings from those still sane
Hoping love is where they staying
Hope the seasons changes soon
Hoping love is where they'll lie
