Just a picture Taken back in '65 We were young then It seems so long ago Play it one time Spirit of the '70s Live forever Lead me on Oh those crazy nights We'd spend our lives Living in a rock 'n' roll dream Oh those days are gone Time moving on Make me feel that I want to be Back in the game again (Take me where the music's playing Where there's no tomorrow High upon those summer nights If I could be) Back in the game Vision of the past Re-awake the heartbeat of A generation, we thought The years had lost Oh those crazy nights We'd spend our lives Living in a rock 'n' roll dream Oh those days are gone Time moving on Make me feel that I want to be Back in the game again Take me where the music's playing Where there's no tomorrow High upon those summer nights if I could be) Back in the game again |

When I was a young man
Money was my hero Something to believe in Something to be seen Now looking at the big lie Looking back on my life I'm adding up the zeros In the book of might have been When I was a young man I was someone? hero Someone to be seen with Someone to believe Now looking at the big lie Looking back on my life All that dirty water In the river of my dreams All that dirty water in my dreams When I was a young man Being cool came easy Playing in the big lights Trouble came for free Now looking at the big lie Looking back on my life Trying to find the good seed Now I? down here in the weeds All that dirty water in my dreams All that dirty water in my dreams When I was a young man Music was my saviour Took me to the fast lane Answered all my needs Now looking at the big lie Looking back on my life All it did was show me All the things that might have been All that dirty water in my dreams All that dirty water in my dreams All that dirty water in my dreams All that dirty water in my dreams |

And so the time has come
To fight for right or wrong There is no-one To save us from ourselves Along the travelled road A story will unfold Of fantasies Born in the age of innocence I can see the rain begin to fall Watch as the wind blows Can you hear those voices when they call Yesterday? heroes A game of consequence We have to take the chance And do our best To keep the past alive Soon we will return A lesson to be learned By those who try To keep the flame from burning I can see the rain begin to fall Watch as the wind blows Can you hear those voices when they call Yesterday? heroes Yesterday? heroes Yesterday? heroes Here we're helplessly Searching for truth Is it me, is it you? Will our lives just crumble away? I can see the rain begin to fall Watch as the wind blows Can you hear those voices when they call Yesterday? heroes Yesterday? heroes Yesterday? heroes |

He was born on easy streets
Played so hard his feet they never touched the ground Never felt afraid Hour after shining hour No thought of time no parents worrying Innocent of fear Now my, my, look at that sky Closing his eyes on a new tomorrow Hey, hey, Heaven's in tears Crying for the disappeared She grew up on easy streets Danced so hard her feet they never touched the ground Love was all around No locks on their front door She'd stay out late and they'd know she was safe No need to beware Now my, my, look at that sky Closing his eyes on a new tomorrow Hey, hey, Heaven's in tears Crying for the disappeared My my look at that sky Turning his back on a generation Hey, hey, Heaven's in flames And no one wants to take the blame Blame for children of the disappeared Chant: Bleeding, crying, children, dying My, my, look at that sky Turning his back on a new tomorrow Spoken: Their life with never be the same For children who disappear and parents who live in fear No more the easy streets No sound of children's footsteps on the ground Fear lies all around No more the unlocked door No more the children laughing as they play Nowhere left that's safe Now my, my, look at that sky Closing his eyes on a new tomorrow Hey, hey, Heaven's in tears Crying for the disappeared My, my, look at that sky Turning his back on a generation Hey, hey, Heaven's in flames and no one wants to take the blame Blame for children of the disappeared |

I know that you think I'm the lonely one
Those black clouds always follow me No silver lining there for you to find No star-struck prince on bended knee And every day you're searching hard For something you can't find Broken dreams and promises The feelings you can't hide You fool yourself there's nothing wrong 'Cause truth is on your side I'll take your truth and give you back a lie My secret lives in your deceit Innocence crumbles in the face of your greed That's why they call me Mr. E And every day you're searching hard For something you can't find A hollow-hearted love that pays With pictures for the blind My vision is a window to the Bottom of your soul This blindness is the way you feel About yourself and no one else Let me take you down to the river side Hold your hand and lead you in I can take you down to the river side But only you can swim I know no magic forest in this part of town No mystic rainbow's end, no gold for free The colours lift you up I push you down That's why they call me Mr. E And every day you're searching hard For something you can't find The pomise lies in endless dreams A nightmare's what you find My promise is a window to The bottom of your soul This nightmare is the way you feel About yourself and no one else Let me take you down to the river side Hold your hand and lead, lead you in. I can take you down to the river side But only you can swim Let me take you down, down to the river side Hold your hand and lead you in I can take you down to the river side But only you can swim |
