I must've dreamed a thousand dreams
Been haunted by a million screams But I can hear the marching feet They're moving into the street Now did you read the news today They say the danger's gone away But I can see the fire's still alight They're burning into the night Too many men, too many people Making too many problems And not much love to go round Can't you see this is the land of confusion This is the world we live in And these are the hands we're given Use them and let's start trying To make it a place worth living in Oh Superman where are you now Everything's gone wrong somehow The men of steel, men of power Are losing control by the hour This is the time, this is the place So we look for the future But there's not much love to go round Tell me why this is the land of confusion This is the world we live in... I remember long ago Oh when the sun was shining And the stars were bright all through the night And the sound of your laughter as I held you tight So long ago I won't be coming home tonight My generation will put it right We're not just making promises That we know we'll never keep Too many men, too many people Making too many problems And not much love to go round Can't you see this is the land of confusion This is the world we live in And these are the hands we're given Use them and let's start trying To make it a place worth fighting for This is the world we live in And these are the names we're given Stand up and let's start showing Just where our lives are going to |

No Son of Mine
Well, the key to my survival was never in much doubt the question was how I could keep sanetrying to find a way outthings were never easy for me peace of mind was hard to find and I needed a place where I could hide somewhere I could call mineI didn't think much about it til it started happening all the time soon I was living with the fear everyday of what might happen at nightI couldn't stand to hear the crying of my motherand I remember when I swore that, that would be the last they'd see of me and I never went home againthey say time is a healer and now my wounds are not the same I rang the bell with my heart in my mouth I had to hear what he'd sayHe sat me down to talk to me he looked me straight in the eyeshe said: You're no son, no son of mine You're no son, no son of mine You walked out, you left us behind and you're no son, no son of mine Oh his words how they hurt me, I'll never forget it and as the time, it went by, I lived to regret it You're no son, no son of minebut where should I go and what should I doyou're no son,no son of mine but I came herefor help, I came here for you Well the years they passed slowly I thought about him everyday what would I do, if we passed on the street would I keep running away in and out of hiding places soon I'd have to face the facts we'd havw to sit down and talk it over and that would mean going back they say that time is a healer and now my wounds are not the same I rang the bell with my heart in my mouth I had to hear what he'd say He sat me down to talk ro me he looked straight in the eye she said:You're no son of mine. |

(In the early 1800's, large groups of mainly unskilled labourers built
England's Railways. The cost in human terms alone was very high ... ) Leaving my family behind me not knowing what lay ahead waving goodbye, as I left them in tears remembering all we'd said I looked to the sky, I offered my prayers I asked Him for guidance and strength but the simple beliefs of a simple man lay in His hands, and on my head I gave everything that they wanted but still they wanted more we sweat and we toiled good men lost their lives I don't think they knew what for I sold them my heart I sold them my soul I gave everything I had but they couldn't break my spirit my dignity fought back, fightback can you hear me can you see Don't you hear me don't you see We worked in gangs for all we were worth the young boys pulling the wagons we were digging the tunnel, shifting the earth it was then that it happened. No-one knew how the cracks appeared but as it fell they all disappeared stone fell like rain Can an you hear me, Can you see Don't you hear me Can you breathe The smoke cleared, the dust it settled No one knew how many had died all around there were broken men they'd said it was safe, they'd lied you could hear the cries, you could smell the fear but good fortune that day was mine and it occurred to me that the heart of a good man it seems is hard to find. Can you hear me, can you see Don't you hear me don't you see We worked, how we worked like the devil for our pay through the wind, through the snow, through the rain Blasting, cutting through Gods country like a knife sweat stinging my eyes, there has to be a better life But I can hear my children cry I can see the tears in their eyes memories of those I've lft behind still ringing in my ears Will I ever go back again Will I ever see her face again I'll never forget the night As they waved goodbye to their fathers We came from the South, we came from the North with picks and with spades and a new kind of order showing no fear of what lies up ahead They'll never see the likes of us again Driving the last spike, lifting and laying the track with blistering hands, the sun burning your back But I can hear my children cry I can see the tears in their eyes memories of those I've lft behind still ringing in my ears I will always remember that night, As they waved goodbye to their fathers We followed the rail, we slept under the stars digging in darkness, living with danger showing no fear of what lies up ahead they'll never see the likes of us again |

Another time it might have been so different
Oh, if only we could do it all again But now it's just another fading memory Out of focus, though the out line still remains Far away, away, fading distant lights Leaving us all behind, lost in a changing world And you know that these are the days of our lives, remember Like the story that we wish was never ending We know some time we must reach the final page Still we carry on just pretending That there'll always be one more day to go Far away, away, fading distant lights Leaving us all behind, lost in a changing world And you know that these are the days of our lives, remember Another chance hello, another goodbye And so many things we'll never see again Days of lives that seem so unimportant They seem to matter and to count much later on Far away, away, fading distant lights Leaving us all behind, lost in a changing world And you know that these are the days of our lives, remember |

In and out of darkness, in and out of sleep
trying to keep my hands upon the wheel. Never saw the corner in the driving rain. I never saw her step into the street. Dreaming while you sleep dreaming while you sleep memories to keep dreaming while you sleep I can never understand what went thru my mind I didn't stop to see what I had done. I had to keep on driving deep into the night the miles between would somehow put it right Dreaming while you sleep dreaming while you sleep memories to keep dreaming while you sleep All my life you lie silently there All my life in a world so unfair All my life and only I'll know why and it will live inside of me, I will never be free all my life, trapped in her memory all my life Till the day that you open your eyes, please open your eyes Dreaming while you sleep dreaming while you sleep Heard it on the radio, saw it on TV, but coud I take my secret to the grave. If I had another chance, would I do the same. Dreaming while you sleep dreaming while you sleep Dreaming while you sleep, Are you dreaming while you sleep? All my life I'll be haunted by all my life just one moment in time all my life until the day I die and it will live inside of me I will never be free all my life trapped in her memory all my life Till the day that you open your eyes All of my life - you lie silently there All my life - in a world so unfair All my life - and only I know why And it will live inside of me I will never be free all my life Trapped in her memory - all my life Till the day that you open your eyes |

Creeping up the blind side, shinning up the wall
stealing through the dark of night Climbing through a window, stepping to the floor checking to the left and the right Picking up the pieces, putting them away something doesn't feel quite right Help me someone, let me out of here then out of the dark was suddenly heard "Welcome to the Home by the Sea" Coming out the woodwork, through the open door pushing from abouve and below Shadows with no substance, in the shape of men round and down and sideways they go Adrift without direction, eyes that hold despair then as one they sigh and they moan Help us someone, let us out of here Living here so long undisturbed dreaming of the time we were free so many years ago before the time when we first heard "Welcome to the Home by the Sea" Sit down...Sit down As we relive our lives in what we tell you Images of sorrow, pictures of delight things that go to make up a life Endless days of summer, longer nights of gloom waiting for the morning light Scenes of unimportance, photos in a frame things that go to make up a life Help us someone, let us out of here Living here so long undisturbed dreaming of the time we were free so many years ago before the time when we first heard "Welcome to the Home by the Sea" Sit down...Sit down as we relive our lives in what we tell you let us relive our lives in what we tell you Sit down...Sit down Cause you won't get away no with us you will stay for the rest of your days. So sit down As we relive our lives in what we tell you Let us relive our lives in what we tell you |

Part 1: In the Glow of the Night
The grey of evening fills the room, There's no need to look outside, To see or feel the rain. Then I reach across to touch her, But I know that she's not there. Rain keeps running down the window pane. Time is running out for me. Can't you see what you are doing to me? Can't you see what you have done? As I try to pass another long and sleepless night, A hundred crazy voices call my name, As I try to pass them by, I almost can believe that she is here, Here in the glow of the night. Do you know what you have done? Do you know what you've begun? Do you see we shall never be together again? All of my life. Lonely people, empty rooms, Pointless violence, silent tombs. Could it be that we shall be together again? Sheets of double glazing help to keep outside the night, Only foreign city sirens can cut through, Nylon sheets and blankets help to minimize the cold. But they can't keep out the chilling sounds. Will the nightmare soon give way to dreaming That she is here with me? Here in the glow of the night. Do you know what you have done? Do you know what you've begun? Do you see we shall never be together again? All of my life. Lonely people, empty rooms, Pointless violence, silent tombs. Could it be that we shall be together again? Could it be that we shall be together again? In silence and darkness We held each other near that night We prayed it would last forever. Part 2: The Last Domino Blood on the windows Millions of ordinary people are there They gaze at the scenery They act as if it is perfectly clear Take a look at the mountains Take a look at the beautiful river of blood. The liquid surrounds me I fight to rise from this river of hell I stare round about me Children are swimming and playing with boats Their features are changing Their bodies dissolve and I am alone. Now see what you've gone and done. Now see what you've gone and done. Well now you never did see such a terrible thing As was seen last night on T.V. Maybe if we're lucky, they will show it again Such a terrible thing to see - oh But there's nothing you can do when you're next in line You've got to go domino. Now I'm one with the living and I'm feeling just fine I know just what I gotta do Play the game of happiness and never let on That it only lives on in a song - oh Well there's nothing you can do when you're next in line You've got to go domino. Do you know what you have done? Do you know what you've begun? In silence and darkness Hold each other near tonight For will it last forever? Will it last forever - forever... There's nothing you can do when you're the next in line You've got to go domino. Do you know, do you know, do you know what you have done Do you see what you've begun? Cos there's nothing, nothing, nothing There's nothing you can do, there's nothing you can do Do you see, do you see what you have done? |
