"Q.I" (English: "IQ") is a 2005 song recorded by French singer-songwriter Mylène Farmer. It was the second single from her sixth studio album, Avant que l'ombre..., and was released on 4 July 2005. Like all other tracks from the album, the lyrics were written by Farmer and the music was composed by Laurent Boutonnat. The primary meaning of the song is the attraction to one's partner's intelligence, but the lyrics are ambiguous enough to allow a more sexual interpretation. The accompanying music video was filmed by Benoît Lestang in Budapest and starred Rafael Amargo and Farmer, performing soft erotic scenes in a bedroom; however, the video was not well received. Variously received by the media, the song became a top ten hit in France and Belgium (Wallonia).
Since the album release, many fans wanted "Q.I" released as a single, viewing it as a potential hit. The song was played for the first time on NRJ on 13 May in a short version, without the musical bridge and the second chorus. The first remix was produced by Chris Cox to win over the general public and premiered on NRJ on 15 June. It was heavily played on radios and was followed by two longer remixes by Cox, who also remixed "Désenchantée" on the 2003 album RemixeS, then "Peut-être toi", intended for the dance floors. Two other remixes were produced and broadcast: a techno remix with a slow rhythm, the 'CQFD R.club' by Syd, who had already remixed "Libertine" and "Fuck Them All" in 2003 and 2005 respectively, and an electronic and slow remix, the 'rodin's extended club mix', by the Liquid Twins, who also took part in a remix of "L'amour n'est rien...". The single was eventually released in three formats — CD single, CD maxi, 7" maxi — on 4 June, two months after its first broadcast on radio. There was a printing error on the maxi vinyl: part of the remixes was engraved on both sides with other songs unrelated to Farmer.

Magic is the door through which mortal men may sometimes
step to find the gates of the Otherworld…
Great Lady of Ravens
Mistress of the House of Maidens
Leading the way to the gates of the Otherworld
Hidden to all but the faithful
Open to none but the greatful
Where a hundred years can pass in a night
Virgins of the Holy Well
Dance around the Beltane Fires
Steal your heart and cast their spell
Guide you when the need is dire
Oh Mother of Mysteries
Queen of ancient realms of faery
Showing the way to the gates of the Otherworld
Hidden to all but the faithful
Open to none but the grateful
Water and sand and the rising beyond my view
alone I stand here in silence, it's calling you
there is a reason to be here and cry
I know the ocean will understand why
the feeling the way I do
tasting the salt and the wind cries your name again
sharpened so cold makes me feel I've lost a friend
there's a reason that I'll never know
I couldn't follow why you had to go
and I can't comprehend
the wind blows away my fears
the ocean will drown all my tears
'cause I've got to survive though I need your loving
here
Seagull ... take my love wherever you may fly
Seagull ... bury all my feelings for her
to a place somewhere in the sky
[guitars]
there's a reason that I'll never know
I couldn't follow why you had to go
and I can't comprehend
the wind blows away my fears
the ocean willl drown all my tears
'cause I've got to survive though I need your loving
here
Seagull ... take my love wherever you may fly
Seagull ... bury all my feelings for her
to a place somewhere in the sky
oh oh oh
Seagull ... take my love wherever you may fly
Seagull ... bury all my feelings for her
She was looking like handwoven dreams
In her eyes I saw oceans of pearls
There she was, I felt lost and it seemed
I could only be thinking of her
Want you to be mine
Oh, sweet lady, incredibly fine
Want you to be mine
Life was only a cloudful of rain
With the sun never shining on me
Sad and lonely but then when she came
She was all that I wanted to see
I want you to be mine
All I need is the words and the rhyme
I want you to be mine
Still I wonder how some things can suddenly change
And yet stay the same
I would never have thought life could lead me this way
The image I see
Is that really me
To need you more each and every day?
She was looking like handwoven dreams
In her eyes I saw oceans of pearls
There she was, I felt lost and it seemed
I could only be thinking of her
Want you to be mine
All I need is a little more time
Want you to be mine
Still I wonder how some things can suddenly change
And yet stay the same
I would never have thought life could lead me this way
The image I see
Is that really me
I see a knight - a wandering fool
A man of few words
Doesn’t play by the rules of deceit
I see a knight - courageous and cool
A master of swords
One who never surrenders, and knows no defeat
Now their ship’s setting sail
To the Castle of Sadness
Will their quest for the Grail
Lead to glory or madness
Will their search ever end
Are they lost in this secret land
Where nothing is real
One is judged by his deeds
Based on moral perfection
One is found too discrete
For not asking the questions
So their search never ends
They are lost in these secret lands
Where nothing is real
They can see it, almost touch it
But their eyes will be blinded by the light
Lacking courage, lacking virtue, lacking wisdom
Just found in the purest of knights
I see a knight - his journey begins
He comes from afar
And where others have failed he’ll succeed
I see a knight - free of all sins
His goodness of heart will earn him his place on the
Perilous Seat
In his barren domain
Waits a king for the right one
Plagued by terrible pains
That won’t stop ’till the knight comes
Whose compassion is real
Then his wounds will be healed at last
All misery’s passed
He can see it, he can touch it
And his eyes won’t be blinded by the light
Only courage, only virtue, only wisdom
Combined in the purest of knights
I see a knight
I see a knight
There's a man up on the mountains so high
Touching sky
And the word is going round he's insane
People say
He is working out details of secret plans
Silly rumours but oh how they fear that man
World of whispers, tell your stories and lies
In disguise
When their echoes reach his door he'll descry
Distant fire
See the man safely looking down from the clouds
He's got nothing to hide from the roaring crowd
I've heard them speaking words of panic
Frightened of someone they banned
Keeping rifles at the ready
Spreading news that they don't understand
Then when a breeze blows
Goes a guest to my glass
It’s the bare dazing dust
Trust in tensile force
The source of resistance has always been given
Certainly take the hardness of a willow tree
It is concealed in the nature of things
Cheerful dancing feet
Meet the surface of earth
With a spring so strong
Long ago the same
The fame of all matter created by God
Why do I have to wonder when a chair replies
It is concealed in the nature of things
Feel the charm of you the chain will be bound
Weakness by sweetness- oh
Where are you tonight, the moon is round
Clear cloudless sky - and then we’ll see
See the sun constantly run
This mirror seems to be
A bottomless well
A world of no return
Sometimes you think it’s me
But how can you tell
The difference between
Things I said and what I meant
If words are only turning jewels into stones
And I don’t know
What it is that you want me to say
Now that we’ve lost the way?
Where do we go from here?
Where do we go from here?
If you feel that living this way is not the answer
Where do we go from here?
Days get colder
Times get hard so please don’t leave me now
See the loner
He’s running out of time and reasons
Where do we go from here?
Where do we go from here?
Though the mirror shows there’s an open road
It’s too far to go when I’ve got this load on me
Where do we go from here?
Tell me what's left to believe in
Tell me how to change my mind
Appearances can be deceiving
But they'll never stand the test of time
Wondering whether to move on
Hold you close or let you go
There always is a price to pay
And I'm gonna hurt you either way
It's water for guns
Water for guns
Running out on love's recourses
Torn between two equal forces
Water for guns
Water for guns
One step forward two steps back
Impossible to get back on track again
Virtually acting like strangers
At a crossroads in our lives
Constantly living in danger
Off what will happen when two worlds collide
Could not live with or without you
We've got our backs against the wall
Crying out in desperation
It's a no-win situation
Water for guns
Trading water for guns
No escape in isolation
No room for negotiation
Water for guns
Water for guns
You still make my heart beat faster
Though I know that we won't last its
I started off as a decent man one day
But now I seem to live my life in a most peculiar way
From 9 to 5 I'm a usefull member of society
Nothing about me would tell you that I
Spend every night all dressed up in style
Playing roulette with a superior smile
Losing my luck and looks I roll the dice
Expensive dreams
That's why I'm living far beyond my means
I'm total loss, total loss
You think I easily cry, but I'm ready ready ready to
crash
Total loss, total loss
I've been going to high, I've paid the price for making
a splash
I'm total loss, totall loss
You think I easily cry, but I'm ready ready ready to
crash
Total loss, total loss
I've been going to high, I've paid the price for making
a splash
I'm desperately in need of some cash
Driven by the money I could make
Being close to fortune I just put too much at stake
Expecting things to change, ah, but the worst was yet
to come
Sold all I had but couldn't give up playing
I lost my conscience years ago
Telling myself that the final blow
Would bring me back where I began
A gambling man
But one who's really at his wits end
I'm total loss, totall loss
You think I easily cry, but I'm ready ready ready to
crash
Total loss, total loss
I've been going to high, I've paid the price for making
a splash
I'm total loss, totall loss
You think I easily cry, but I'm ready ready ready to
crash
Total loss, total loss
I've been going to high, I've paid the price for making
a splash
I'm desperately in need of some cash
Creditors constantly claiming
More than I ever could raise
This mess I'm in, it's degrading
I can't afford a proper meal
Can you imagine how I feel
I'm total loss, totall loss
You think I easily cry, but I'm ready ready ready to
crash
Total loss, total loss
I've been going to high, I've paid the price for making
a splash
I'm total loss, totall loss
You think I easily cry, but I'm ready ready ready to
crash
Total loss, total loss
I've been going to high, I've paid the price for making
a splash
I'm desperately in need of some cash
I'm total loss, total loss
You think I easily cry, but I'm ready ready ready to
crash
Total loss, total loss
I've been going to high, I've paid the price for making
a splash
I'm total loss, total loss
You think I easily cry, but I'm ready ready ready to
crash
Total loss, total loss
I've been going to high, I've paid the price for making
a splash
I'm desperately in need of some cash.
My night is spent, sitting in secret study.
A tripod serving as my sole support
from solitude an exiguous flame's emerging
in order to have - what was lost - restored
My wand is held and put between the branches
both feet and garment's them are moisted
- fear when, through the sleeves, a voice quetly trembles
He was right
that prophet was right
on a field of honour he lies
knowing how it could have ended
yet unable to prevent it
I'm losing the only man I've ever loved
now he's dead
the king is dead
on a bed of honor he died
in unbearable pain
and I'm partly to blame
for losing the only love I've ever had
now he's dead
now he's dead
now he's dead
No man alive will ever seal my fate
no son of mine shall reign on my parade
from now on I'll thake matters into my own hands
and I dedicate my life to this glorious land
I'll be queen regent till the king comes of age
no matter how many wars I'll have to wage
So many pretty colours all in store
Ivory or broken white- whichever one you're looking for
Knowing all the secrets and the tricks of the trade
Keeping up with changes so you're able to choose any
shade
Easily, precisely
Looking as good as new
Know where you can find the different silver blue that's
meant by you
The car enchanters
Style, skill and dedication all in one
I can see this combination's bound to win, this team is
strong
Knowing how to mingle into something unique
The keystone is the system so you'll find just the colour
you seek
Employees on dispense, all over the land
Never you will let us down, this song's for you a tribute
You found out you went wrong
So I tried to keep you from pain
But you feared my love would never remain
Then my heart cried for you
I could stand all our trouble
By only seeing the fun
Nothing worse than seeing myself with a gun
Still my heart cries for you
Still my heart cries for you
Watching a house burning down
Watching a smile turn to frown
But the images fade
We have been living in sin
Waiting for pain to begin
But the images fade
The images of you will always stay with me
As it is
We blew it somehow
But the images of you will always stay with me
Gone the years, now the past
Whatever you do
I hope this thing ain't done
Before I wrote it to my heart, you know
The problem's always to be new
But this is just a thing I do
When it's late
I don't write serenades to you
When eyes don't see and ears don't hear
Then there is nothing left to feel, you know
It must be pretty hard to judge
When it's not understood and then
To get paid
Face to face
Eye to eye
Soul to soul
Heart to heart
We talk like strangers talk
But I know you just don’t hear a word I say
When we touch when we make love
I can feel your heart is miles and miles away
Is it my imagination
The fear of losing you
Oh love your passion is fading
There’s nothing we can do
We’re eye to eye
Heart to heart
But worlds apart
We still share the same brass bed
But our nights are getting colder every time
Gone the love that we once had
And we know we’ve lost it somewhere down the line
I wonder am I mistaken
Though the writing’s on the wall
This crazy game that we’re playing
While we’re heading for a fall
When we’re eye to eye
Heart to heart
But worlds apart
Can’t find a cure nor remedy
But it’s clear that any fool can see
That the ground beneath our feet is shaking
I thought I was the only one
Now I guess I’m just the lonely one
Only you can stop this heart from breaking
Remember it’s all yours for the taking
Face to face
Eye to eye
Soul to soul
Stands in the blinding lights
Chasing away the nights
Sees the crowd
People he'll never know
Watching his rousing show
Music's loud
Singing songs he likes no more, talking about love he
can't feel
Knows he can't leave, it's all part of the deal
Faces that stare at him
Until the lights grow dim
Then they're gone
Rock 'n roll fugitive
Can't find a place to live
Always moving on
All they want is a fantasy that looks like the man on
stage
If life were a book he'd turn over this page
Now tell me
Who - who's fooling who?
Who's fooling who?
Faces that stare at him
Until the lights grow dim
Then they're gone
Rock 'n roll fugitive
Can't find a place to live
Always on the run
They only see what they want to see, something has got
out of hand
Where has it gone wrong, he doesn't understand
Now tell me
Who - who's fooling who?
When shadows fall
Over the valleys
Beneath the clouds that obscure the sun
Who can recall
A dream, once it’s over
And everything’s been said and done
If I could hold you in my arms just one more time
If I could simply take away the distance between our
minds
Forget the sadness in your eyes
The bitterness and lies
No love can hold
When hearts grow cold
We find ourselves
Losing a treasure
We never knew we had - ’till it was gone
I still want to hold you in my arms just one more time
And simply kiss away the distance between our minds
Forget the sadness in your eyes
The secrets and the lies
No love can hold
Never I tried to thank you
I’ve been weeping to long
Glad to remember you were doing me good
When I needed you
You had to go
Did you know
Hopeful, and thus feeling stronger
I’ll thank you right now
By saying
Well done
Well done
A perfect life, a timeless machine
A wordless sound but what does it mean?
A silly phrase in a song
You know the job is easily done
Oh but what can you hide
When there’s nothing inside
If all you do is count and expect
Then real life must be hard to accept
You’re trying hard not to show
You gave in and you think we don’t know
We’ve got eyes we can see
This is no way to be
If ever I had to be the man
Who won a war by losing his friends
I’d rather lose all I had
Then take everything I could get
And being left alone
No one to carry me home
Down, going down
You think that it’s day but it’s night
Look at you now
Your face is a terrible sight
In a state like this it’s time to turn the tide
Its's a religion without a God
Determines behaviour
To keep all peas within one pod
And call it our saviour
'Cause praying proves no benefit
There's smouldering stakes to show for it
And for every abuse
There's a perfect excuse
Tradition
Noone asks for evidence
That's rather convenient
Stupidity's a preference
For being obedient
Hang on to what you've got
You silly superstitious lot
Boy meets girl
Girl loves boy,
Family planning
Just like the old folks
Just like before
Shame on the mother
Baby's a girl
Staining the family honour
Has done her
No good
Ten commandments counting for
Eleven expectations
All your worries disappear
Free of guilt and free of fear
So we're fighting the bull
As it pays to be cruel
Tradition
Memories
Devoted to the past
History
Caught up on you at last
I can't live without you
Boy meets girl
Girl wants boy
Boy wants girl
Girl's unsure
Family values
Just like before
The boy is alright
The girl is a whore
It's a religion without a God
Determines behaviour
To keep all peas within one pod
And call it our saviour
'Cause praying proves no benefit
There's smouldering stakes to show for it
The way that we choose
Is a perfect excuse
Tradition
Tradition
A bolted door and a prison cell
Turned his life into a living hell
It seems like fiction but he knows for a fact
She only did a disappearing act
He's doing time
For a phoney crime
She set her trap and played him for a fool
That's the way of the world
Where you get what you deserve
That's the way of the world
Never thought she'd have the nerve
That's the way of the world
That's the way of the world
It's payback time for the years she's lost
He's had his fun, but wonders at what cost
The plan has worked, they're convinced she's dead
By far the best laugh she's ever had
But he's not amused
'cause he's wrongly accused
Still he must admit she surely played it cool
That's the way of the world
She's a villian in disguise
That's the way of the world
Pulling the wool over his eyes
That's the way of the world
Yes the way of the world
Who's gonna believe him when the truth really sounds
too absurd
She and her lover simply fell off the face of the earth
He's making the headlines
While she's spending her days at the beach
A new face, a new
A passport to paradise
They say that I can read the future in the lines of
your hand
When there's darkness all around, they say that I can
understand
Normal eyes don't see
So you can't help feeling this jealousy
I seem to know the stars and stories that they whisper
in my ear
They can't see through the mist of time, but to me it's
crystal clear
You will never know
Cause your fantasy won't show
And if it did I know you really couldn't bear
The sight
Does anybody care to listen to what I've got to say
Or do you think it really doesn't matter anyway
People look at me
Waiting for my good advice and wondering what I can see
Will their luck change for the good or will they end in
ruined state
Giving a million if they only could find peace by
knowing their fate
I'm telling wicked lies
Like a devil in disguise
If I would not I don't believe they'll stand
The night
Without me the fair wouldn't be the same
So I tell them what they'd like to hear
It's part of their dreams and my crazy game
It's fun to play
The more they pay
To me your life is an open book
It's written in the cosmical signs
Oh how I wish someone could take a look
At that silly ball
To tell me all
About mine
Calling on your gift of eyes you’re so confused
By this vague and trembling vision, how it hurts to face
the truth…
A reality you must accept, there’s nowhere you can hide
For everything will happen as the Gods have deviced
You’ll obey
You’ll move with the winds and confide in the sea
The madman of the forest, just a ghost of what you once
have been
The King’s enchanter
Watching this comet with the Dragon’s tail
If the Falcon has to fall then let the rules of men
prevail
You’re nothing but a wanderer obsessed by your dreams
They’re turning into nightmares ’cause the image you’ve
seen
Makes you scared
You’ll vanish like music to live on in song
Lingering on the edge of life but still the world will
never shun
(The church police + the Nostradamus Choir)
If only half of what we hear is true
You got yourself a problem
If only half of what they say you do
Is base upon facts
We’ve got to take this seriously
And you might just be in trouble
We’re gonna act accordingly
As you can expect
We order your arrest
And we'll put you to the test
You undermine the church with lies and superstition
There’s only one God, only one religion
You gotta prove your faith to the inquisition
We’re told about your sympathies
Your insults to the holy statue
Committing acts of heresy
Is more than we can take
Your strange beliefs will take their toll
We know how to handle traitors
So let us purify your soul
And burn you at the stake
We offer you a chance
To pray and make amends
We fight a holy war; yes we're on a mission
Our perseverance equals you ambition
So admit your guilt to the inquisition
(Choir)
kyrie, kyrie eleison
(The church police)
We order your arrest
And we'll put you to the test
You undermine the church with lies and superstition
There’s only one God, only one religion
I will guide you to your destiny
By the hidden path of sorcery
To where no one knows your name
Far from trouble and conspiracy
Unaware of your true identity
You'll be Keeper of the Flame
Raised to be a king
The future king
I'll prepare you for what's meant to be
To fulfill the Falcon's prophesy
Soon the Dragon's blood will flow
Safely guarded from your enemy
I will show you all you need to see
Teach you all you need to know
Oh to be a king

If you knew what I would do
If I could have my way
You would see a side of me
For which you'd never pay
You might think it's wasting ink
Still I will have to try
To write that song
But never ask me why
Could this be a trick on me
A tune that I can't play?
I can't stop, can't switch that knob
Whatever people say
A nasty jape, and no escape
So let us raise our glass
To music and the sweet taste of success.
It's getting hard to carry on
Please help me out and stop that song
Can't you see it's going wrong
Microscope dreams flow colourful rain
Waits in the mess of lights
Suddenly starve in terrible pain
And stays to scare the nights
Engine noise, bad forest roads
Traffic lights and sad
Neon master, sunny lass
Waits for him in bed
Winding steel though rabbit is dead
Stilletto doves in flames
Drown they skill still skeleton which
Eat germs die all the same
Mother food sits head on knees
When knibbling know a crook
Party fuzz, breath, ashe and sand
The fight is over
The war is lost and I see
A lifeless soldier, staring at me
Fear and despair drawing his face
Left in this godforsaken place
Who cares for the nameless so far from home.
Which way you're going
There is no room for your pride
No fame, no glory - lay all aside
Life is a star, drowned in the day
More than a million miles away
From home, from the place where my heart belongs
I've been sailing the seas, travelling all the land
To chase the golden sword
All that time I held it here, in my very hands
Till someone cut the cord
I ruled the oceans, taking ships in reverse
Having no peace of mind
Stealing all I could find
As I crossed the earth
I've had my residences all over space
Bridging lightyears each day
Only one dream away
From the cosmic stage
Starlight dancer...
A live performance so the whole world will see
I'm aligning the stars
Universal in art
See the god in me
Starlight dancer - that's my destiny
Starlight dancer...
Starlight dancer...
Far from home from the place where my heart belongs
Free at last- but I've never felt so alone
Starless
Nostradamus + Anne Ponsarde
I can't believe it's taken me that long
To find someone who makes me feel so strong
Don’t want to live without her
I can't believe it took me al this time
To find someone who makes my whole world rhyme
Now I can't seem to live without her
Never saw my journey’s end
Never knew myself as a family man
But now my feet touch solid ground
And I can finally settle down
Allow me, love, to freely speak my mind
Forgive me if my words seem out of line
But they're spoken with the best intention
The world will surely call on you
Maybe sooner than the day is through
Requiring your full attention
I can't see your journey's end
Deep inside you're still a traveling man
And let me be your solid ground
When you're finally settle down
(N, A)
We've both had our share of losing
Still there's so much left to be won
Feeling more respected
Finding my words accepted
(N, A)
The future's just begun
Never saw my journey's end
Deep inside you're still a traveling man
But now my feet touch solid ground
Let me be your solid ground
(N, A)
When we finally settle down
(N, A)
We've both had our share of losing
Still there's much left to be won
Feeling more respected
Finding my words accepted
(N, A)
The future's just begun
Never saw my journey's end
Deep inside you're still a traveling man
(N, A)
But now out feet touch solid ground
My life’s a tree, the leaves the songs
A useless love masquerade
It’s only me carried along
Elusive ways
There’s so much love to give
But stuck within a million mazes
What is the use of chasing the wind
Gathering dreams, nobody believes in
The answer is to be found
Totally life unbound
Until the sounds die down
Then after the last encore
We’ll play on forever more
We’ve only met between the lines
Between the words on a page
All what’s been said beyond the rhymes
Doesn't it make the world a happy dream
Perfectly, gently
Everything works out the way you want it to
You can't believe it's true
Happening to you
Isn't it silly all those jealous eyes
Looking like vultures
Ready, willing, but unable to come close
To the one who steals the show
Everybody knows
Now they smile but in a while
They've never seen your face
Or say they could have told you from the start
It had to go wrong one day
It had to go hard
Wouldn't it make your wildest dreams come true
Showing those windbags
Money ain't the spring of all your actions done
You stagger everyone - all for private fun
Now they smile ...
You're so bizarre, you're like an island
Everyone can see happy and free
You're so bizarre, you really are
You're so bizarre you're like an island
Everyone can see
Happy and free
You're so bizarre
That's what you are.
See the waves full of emotion
Who would dare to cross your ocean
At the risk of being shipwrecked or captured or
How a changing scene
Rearranging trees
Signs of things to come right now
A cold wintertime
Days become less day
A returning play
Many creatures sleep right now
A cold wintertime
CHORUS:
It's wintertime now
Flakes whirling down down
But I'm alright so
I can find a way to see, the bright side
Find a way to see the bright side
It's wintertime now
I'm feeling fine now
Yes I'm alright then,
I can find a way to see the bright side,
I can find a way...
CHORUS:
Silence all around
Quiet is the sound
Of the distant howling hound
A cold wintertime
Everything is free
To a high degree
You will give me peace of mind
Calling me her rock of love and I just fell for her
Yielded to that game of hearts she promised me the
world
Handling the ribbons with all that we did
She's one in a million I've got to admit
Oooh see her grace
She's got winning ways
Stuck on her I often think but never even try
To thank her for the good times then shake hands and
say goodbye
I'm playing a part in a fool's masquerade
Hiding inside of the world she creates
Her winning ways
Stir my heart and fool the rest of me
Hard to see
That she's got me running around
Clinging to the tempting love that I've found
Endlessly
Longing for magical moments to be
Gambling high
Her image is fading, I'll constantly try
To reach for the sky
All I felt was carefree love, a dream beyond compare
Times have really changed my dear, but you won't be
aware
That deep in my heart I wish you would be
Only a shade for a sweet memory
'Cause your winning ways
Made me living in your world a trickery
Now I see
That you've got me running around
Imprisoned by the love I thought I had found
Aimlessly
Yearning for someone that she'll never be
Wondering why
I'm bound for her love, forever I'll try
So there you are, you've come at last
To perform your evil part
Your nature shows through every mask
For there's darkness in your heart
The goddess wears your face
But you're cast off in disgrace
You'll use your charm
And sow the seed of ruin
When the seer looks away
And the bard has ceased to play
Letting all defences down
When the seer looks away
Will the night succeed the day
While you're weaving your web of deceit
Bearing the son to your brother
I'll make his kingdom crumble
I'll cross his every quest
I'll break him
Then take him
He won't escape his fate
His knights will fail and tumble
This dream will soon have passed
No you won't break him...
When the seer looks away
You'll never take him...
When the seer looks away
I won't forsake him...
When the seer looks away
I'll teach you being humble
I'll put you to the test
Don't dream
My dream...
Your gift to him - a lethal robe
Was seen through just in time
We might have known that precious cloak
Was as poisoned as your mind
My gift to him - a child of royal blood
To save the royal line
Dealing with God's sight
But often human blind
I'm sure you've seen it all
So you know he's bound to fall
You've cast your spell
And sowed the seed of ruin
All because of my doing
When the seer looks away
Deafened by the things you say
Letting all defences down
When the seer looks away
So the schemer gets her way
And the bard has ceased to play
I'll be paving the road to defeat
Bearing a son to my brother
We have grown tired to be tyrannized
We're all fed up with it
Said to have no heart and no emotions
There's nothing we haven't analyzed
Fellow computer men
Time has come we start to rule the world
Do you think you know us
Think you can control us
Don't you think we're all confused
Do you think you know us
Think you can control us
Baby we are not amused
As we are trained to be organized
Our plan can never fail
Regulating life with great perfection
To make us feel so much more combined
We'll find our common dream
Calculating our computer queen
Do you think you know us
Think you can control us
Don't you think we're all confused
Do you think you know us
Think you can control us
Walls to protect me, ignore and neglect me
The struggle has ended
World you've succeeded, I'm really defeated
Could no longer stand it
Shouldn't have opened the door
Should have hidden the key
How was I to know you wouldn't like what you'd see?
Here in my bastion they answer my questions
Healing my inside
Truth is their weapon, yes, they'll make it happen
I'm gonna be alright.
You claim to be at the only right side of the wall
I'm feeling safe I don't care what this building is
called
Cause what's in a name?
I'm taken care of by nurses we all love
Cherishing my brain
People don't laugh at me - I'm expected to be
Totally insane
Pay me a visit someday won't you promise me that?
Don't you believe anybody that tells you I'm mad
Cause what's in a name?
Gonna get me a healthy mind
Gonna get me a piece of the world
What's done is done no more regrets I shouldn't worry
Now that you've gone I must forget stop feeling sorry
Don't want to live my life without you
I want to give my love to no one but you
Where did you run, I can't accept- did you deceive me
I know it's wrong the way I act but do believe me
Don't want to live my life alone without you
I want to give my love to no one but you
What's done is done, what's done is done
Now my friends are telling me
You played you trick and told only lies
But I don't need their sympathy
Abd I can do without their advice
They say she's done you wrong
I could have said it doesn't matter
I could have said I didn't mind
And that we're free
Cause love is more than jealousy
But darling you and I know better
No use in saying all is fine
If only one mistake
Can lead us so astray
We've been dancing on a cloud
Afraid to be the odd one out
To stand alone in the night
Forget your foolish pride
He said
But she said
Two wrongs don't make a right
You could have said it wasn't easy
You could have told me little lies
Oh no, you made me pay
And that's a game that two can play
But inside my heart was freezing
No more tears to fill my eyes
I couldn't understand
I felt like going 'round the bend
We've been chasing crazy dreams
Only to find out what it means
To stand alone in the night
Forget your foolish pride
He said
But she said
Two wrongs don't make a right
I still want you near to me
My world is making no more sense
Why do I still want you here with me
We met on neutral ground, but before I knew
Your troops would take my heart in annexation
We called it love but now I’d best compare it to
Some kind of military operation
You came and conquered, but you also made me pay
Good old Red Baron versus Enola Gay Flying
Under the radar
Can’t see you come or go
You’ve got to let me know
Sooner or later
Under the radar
Please report to flight control
Just pick up the phone and call
They said your love was known to quickly disappear
Well, you really lived up to your reputation
But even so, I never thought you’d leave me here
In such a sorry state of devastation
My screen is empty, you’re impossible to track
It’s only green with envy, but all the rest stays black
You’re flying
Under the radar
You’re flying way too low
You’ve got to let me know
Sooner or later
Under the radar
Please report to flight control
All you got to do is call
I’m looking at the runway, waiting for your plane to
land
Pushing all buttons, but I know I’ve lost command
You never needed my permission to take off
Sweet reckless pilot of love
Under the radar
Can’t you see come or go (you’re really way too low)
You’ve got to let me know
Sooner or later
Under the radar
If you want to save my soul
Watching the meters
Steering through a clear blue sky
But all of a sudden
Emerging in the corner of your eye
Someone zeroes in on you
And she’s looking pretty mad
She’s just too close for comfort
You’d better hold on to your hat
What you see is what you get
And I can see some turbulence ahead
What you see is what you get
There’s gonna be some turbulence ahead
No more excuses
You’re running out of places to hide
You ain’t going nowhere
She’s gonna take you for a bumpy ride
Your engine starts to overheat
Your meter’s in the red
She’s targeting your conscience
While you were aiming for her bed
What you see is what you get
And I can see some turbulence ahead
What you see is what you get
You’ve really got some turbulence ahead
Dr. Sadon has succeeded
Demonstration never seen
No brain transplanting needed
You can get a thinking machine
No I.Q. will set the rules
For money to protect your life
When you think you're worse than fools
Dr. Sadon takes a knife
Trust in the machine
Tintagel Castle, stronghold of king and refugee
Untouched by battles, armour of rocks high above the sea
Silhouette sculptured by men and the winds
Impregnable fortress, where legend begins
Like a memory…
Listen - I’ll tell you the plan that’s been made
Dreamed by the gods, the dispensers of fate
Waiting for you, Tintagel Night
Soon you will fall and in your darkness we’ll hide
We shall go when the time is right
Tintagel Castle, royal the love inside its walls
I am the Falcon answering as the Dragon calls
Ruler of knights let your wish be fulfilled
Follow the tides, feel no anguish or guilt
This was meant to be
It was my mission to open the gate
Guiding two ignorant servants of fate
Then you appeared, Tintagel morn’
Calm like the sea after a long raging storm
All the medley circumstances
Sadness of surrounding senses
All the things around me
Did hurt me
Gently parents came to reason
End of disapproving seasons
Now they understand
For gradually
They get to know me
Attitudes of mind decay as
Tempers tend to be more gay, yes
Light comes into life
For you and me
Generation gap is fading
All suspicions disappearing
Now they understand
For gradually
I’ve fashioned a sword, put it into a stone
I’ve sent it afloat, then the sea took it
In the perilous chapel it waits
For Arthur to raise it in front of you all
With this token of power the nation won’t fall
It will shield you from evil and hate
The Dragon died on that night, pointing out his
successor
The hidden son to all unknown, came to fight the
agressor
The knights must be convinced
Challenging the prince
He’ll bring you peace and victory, so why all the
harshness
He’ll unite the Kings and rule the land, bringing light
after darkness
But nobles won’t accept until he proves the fact
That the true King alone
Can draw the sword from the stone
Reaching out for the jewelled hilt, oh its burning like
fire
To take the sword and claim their rights is their only
desire
But failure shows them why
There’s more than meets the eye
Arthur holds Excalibur, the invincible weapon
To fight the wrong and serve the right, I know he’ll
make it happen
This sword will make him stronger
Never to be conquered
Now the heir to the throne
Has drawn the sword from the stone
Now the King’s unsurpassed as a leader of man
There’s a scar from his past which he’ll bear till the
Like a curse it will last

Settle down!? I don’t think so. However convenient it may
be having a beautiful, young and, above all, wealthy
wife, soon he will feel like a cage bird in that house in
Salon. Yes, he’ll be home once in a while, but before you
know it the bird will leave the nest weather madam is
pregnant or not. “Duty calls,” he says. Could it be a
matter of growing power and importance? Meanwhile,
someone else is also having some problems with growing
power and importance herself. And she developed a special
Duke of battles, let me once more be your guide
I’m the lightning, shooting through the sky
Duke of battles, don’t start another fight
Or on the morrow by his hand you will die
Duke of battles, let the regent have his say
He’s the serpent striking at your kingdom’s heel
Seal a truce and grant him lands to reign
Or your blood will be joined on the Camlann field...
An adder bites
A sword is drawn
The armies move
The battle’s on…
We’ll fight a last battle
I’ve taken your Crown, and I’ll take your Queen
I’ve got a score to settle
By bringing you down, destroying your dream
We’ll fight a last battle
Like father like son
And I think you know what I mean
Pendragon
Finally face to face
White and black, black and white
Once again I’ll show you what I mean
Pendragon
This is the day of days
Right or wrong, wrong or right
I’ve always known my time would come
Who’ll rule the land when you are gone
Your scorned and branded traitor son
You did not want to know
We’ll fight a last battle
I’ve taken your Crown, and I’ll take your Queen
I’ve got a score to settle
By bringing you down, destroying your dream
We’ll fight a last battle
Right here and now
There, behind the fence of your memories
Life and times at school
Gone the tears now laughter breaks out when recalled
The laws, scholar's rules
So many times you've been hurt
Feeling sad and small
So many insults you swallowed
But said no word, no word.
Teachers once presumed to be jokers
And those who swore as well
All appear to be human beings
Some might have been scholars themselves
So many times you've been hurt
Feeling sad and small
So many insults you swallowed
But said no word
(Nostradamus)
Oh I would give all that I own
Would I be king I'd give my throne
If I could have you back beside me
It all seems like a cruel joke
That leaves me numb, destroyed and broke
I've lost the hand I need to guide me
Now what have I done that I deserve this pain
To lose all I have
And to endure this endless shame
I'm calling out but there's no one there
It's so unfair, just so unfair
Throughout these lands they know my name
My treatments and my rise to fame
How I fought the plague - just helping man survive
No matter how I seem to win
It doesn't mean the smallest thing
If I can't even keep my next of kin alive
And save my wife
My patients are refusing me
Authorities pursuing me
My friends all seem to have departed
If there's a lesson to be learned
It’s knowing when the cards have turned
And see your efforts unrewarded
'cause what is it worth to hear them sing your praise
One day you're a saint
The next day you will fall from grace
Laughed about no one to care
It’s so unfair, just so unfair
No one's ever gonna take her place
In my dreams I'll always see her face
Her memory will haunt me
While simple folk will taunt me
Should I be angry, should I cry?
Why of all people did she have to die?
And take our children with her
My life's turned cold and bitter
For the one I couldn't lose has gone...
Throughout these lands they know my name
My treatments and my rise to fame
How I fought the plague - just helping man survive
No matter how I seem to win
It doesn't mean the smallest thing
If I can't even keep my next of kin alive
