The countryside was out of sight The sky was acid blue The saplings were beside themselves The storm had passed on through The trees were wearing racing silks A vibrant grass-snake green With maidens clutching violets In many shades between But somewhere in the distance I could hear the tolling bell I saw myself reflecting back Face down in the well The tolling bell reminded me Of someone I had lost I could not quite remember who Or what had been the cost Naked from the waist up Naked upside down No matter how you break your fall You sure as hell will drown The hounds from hell were howling For the many wasted years While every sin was washed away With semi-precious tears Some said it was suicide Others first degree No matter what the paradox Was somehow lost on me The courage of a patient man Is measured in his pace While some may take the higher ground Others run the race Some folks do the dandy strut And trade as ne'er do well But I have always please myself Somewhere in the distance I could hear the rebel yell I saw myself reflecting back Face down in the well |

Well, it was on a night like this We made a vow We knew could never miss You and me Meant to be So free On a night like this Well, it was on a night like this The stars looked down It was a night of bliss In a world Of our own So alone On a night like this And if ever I get to thinking back On the good times we have had I think of the days before I met you And end up feeling sad Well, it was on a night like this We sealed our fate With just a single kiss In a world Of extremes Simple dreams On a night like this |

If I should live a thousand years I would spend my whole life dying for you If I should shed a thousand tears I would spend my whole life crying for you As certain as eternity It's written in the stars It reaches through the universe From Jupiter to Mars It stretches to infinity Beyond the edge of space Where time itself is measured In the smile upon your face If I should live a thousand years I would spend my whole life loving you If I should pick a thousand flowers I would touch each petal for a trace of you For every thousand April showers I would chase the rainbow for a place with you If I should bless a thousand brides I would never find a-one as sweet as you For every thousand high spring tides There could never be one to compete with you |

Lonely, have you ever felt lonely Like you're floating on a deep sea And the world is somewhere else? And when you're trying to disguise it It only makes it deepen Trying to pretend will only weigh you down Cold steel Cold, cold steel Searching, is this why everybody's searching Looking to the sky To try to touch a star And when they get it in their hand They never want to lose it They get a monkey on their back and a pocketful of sand Good times, I heard about the good times I read it in a book It sounded alright But then I thought I saw a stranger So I had to give chase. She stabbed me in the back with a smile across her face |

The stars begin to fade The early morning mist is lifting As he wakes with the silence still unbroken The night has rolled away The dawn is creeping through the window As he rubs the shadows from his eyes The sun begins to rise To warm the room where he was sleeping As he reads through the headlines of the papers The dew is fading fast As he is walking through the long grass With church bell sounding in the tower He waits inside the door The clock strikes out the hour He smiles pausing for a word as they arrive. Farmers with their wives Children with their flowers Ladies in their bright mid-summer clothes The stained glass windows shine The congregation kneels in silence Then the organ and choir Join the birds in the trees As they sing their Sunday morning song |

The party wasn't over when my friends started leaving Still a lot of things I had to say If I walked back in the room would it be the way I left it? Lost my nerve and turned away And the rains came, and the skies turned grey When the lights came on I could see the picture It burned my eyes and it bruised my mind Gave me hope to face the future I was not alone when the lights came on They crucified the ox and threw his carcass to the fire Stood around proclaiming they were free Stripped away his flesh while giving thanks for all his labours No-one saw the joke but him and me Then the rains came, and the skies turned grey The wise man built his house upon the rock beside the river Cared not for the storms that lashed around The foolish man was tempted, dipped his soul into the water His body, though at peace, has not been found Because the rains came, and the skies turned grey |

It was back along summer of thirty years I'll tell you a story to bring you tears Of the likes of a romance so few hears Out on the Russian front She had startling eyes of sapphire blue She lived in a house where camellias grew But where she came from no-one knew He stood as firm as the mighty oak Smelled as keen as forest smoke Loved her with a velvet stroke Out on the Russian front She loved a man who burst with pride Buried deep in her countryside Their love for life was long denied Even now I'm still unclear Those who held each other dear Are living in a state of fear Out on the Russian front Both were sent their separate ways Victims of their yesterdays The party wins the farmer pays |

Puddly pools, oily traces Storm clouds scudding past the moon Rusty hinges broken windows All is broken, all too soon Here today, gone tomorrow Shadows in the setting sun Here today, gone tomorrow Darkness when the day is done Broken china doll stares blind Painted porcelain figurine Loved to death by those who loved her Prettiest face you've ever seen Down the hill houses tumble Overlapping cheek by jowl Strike a match, frozen fingers Restless dog begins to growl |

NRG It's really elementary NRG It's time to take inventory Take the time To take some action soon There will be A chain reaction soon Along the backstreets a fire burns Inside Outside NRG It's time to hear the voices NRG It's time to take some choices |
