Just like his old father before him
Who served in the great war would sing We're proud to serve Kaiser or King They'll always find someone who's willing To take Tigermoth chances alone The boy who should never have flown Was thrown a hundred yards Blown into smithereens A crowd drew near but failed to hear Look I'm over here and still one of you wait... The young man's despondence soon halted When gently a voice that he knew Took shape slowly out of the blue Flight Captain James at your service Last month I went down in the drink You're not as alone as you think Here's some of your chums from last Thursday Shot down in their prime over Rome The boys who can never go home Were thrown a hundred yards Blown into smithereens Until we meet again my friends No regrets and Lily Marlene sings again |

Can you light a fire in Winter's face
Or say why a life has gone to waste Pleasure Island was an overcrowded place Cleopatra's Needle conquered fear One more nail in your coffin dear Endless torture for at least two thousand years Every day What's the use of friendship, who am I Hell bent on destruction, how I tried You became a ghost to me long before you died |

Things they taught you at school
Can sometimes disappear Why do you disbelieve The things I said were true Of a land nothing planned It just happens Girls and boys who shout come out to play With a queen cold as ice You'd best take my advice To steer clear of her charm She's easily annoyed What's that sound, you turn around It just happens there are bells And reindeer drawing a sleigh There troubled with snow covered peaks Till the end of time We know you're a daughter of Eve And a friend of mine - no Yes I'm certain that you Will influence the rest She could turn you to stone You're suitably impressed And so easily led There just happen to be repercussions Months ahead Oh there troubled with snow covered peaks Till the end of time We know you're a daughter of Eve And a friend of mine - no |

Above the colour of amber stained evening
An audience danced Led by a showering hand that brings water An audience danced Led by a showering hand that brings water To both sea and land Unlock the door of night Nebulous bright Again renewed by the vessels of Isis You're ready to fly Although the journey is still far from ended You gaze at the sky Above the cloudless night Nebulous bright He who knows love knows who you are Worlds you may find lit by a star He who knows love knows who you are Worlds you may find lit by a star Again renewed by the vessels of Isis You're ready to fly He who knows love knows who you are Worlds you may find lit by a star... |

Veiling the nightshade bride stalks a flower revealed
Nearing the hour make haste to their threshold concealed Lost in thought in search of vision As the moon eclipsed the sun Casting the same steps glimpsing his own fate to come Melt in the dream void from which he never can run Lost in thought in search of vision As the moon eclipsed the sun Tears fill the fountains breaking their promise to heal Rippling the waters mirror an ended ideal Deep in thought but robbed of vision As the moon eclipsed the sun |

It's one o'clock and time for lunch - dum dee dum dee dum
When the sun beats down and I lie on the bench I can always hear them talk There's always been Ethel: "Jacob, wake up, you've got to tidy your room now" And then Mr. Lewis: "Isn't it time that he was out on his own" Over the garden wall, two little love birds cuckoo to you Keep them mowing blades sharp... I know what I like And I like what I know Getting better in your wardrobe Stepping one beyond your show Sunday night, Mr. Farmer called, said: "Listen son, you're wasting time There's a future for you in the fire-escape trade Come up to town" But I remembered a voice from the past: "Gambling only pays when you're winning" I had to thank old Miss Mort for schooling a failure Keep them mowing blades sharp... I know what I like And I like what I know Getting better in your wardrobe Stepping one beyond your show I know what I like And I like what I know Getting better in your wardrobe Stepping one beyond your show When the sun beats down and I lie on the bench I can always hear them talk Me, I'm just a lawnmower You can tell me by the way I walk |

When I feel I'm over reacting
And I'm trying too hard It might be that I need to Get out in the country My friend There are many ways of seeking my fortune I don't really have to lose my mind On the highway (my) thoughts always racing Away to the sun No one's stopping me From lying around There's surely something to it all Away to the sun No one's stopping me From lying around There's surely something to Taking a friend I know that I can share Another day in the warm country air When I feel I'm over reacting And I'm trying too hard it might Be that I need to get out in the country Away to the sun No one's stopping me From lying around There's surely something to Taking a friend I know that I can share Another day in the warm country air |

Don't want a picture
To pin upon my wall Just want some one to Help me forget, that's all I don't want to be here on my own Hungry as a dog without a bone Don't want a postcard Showing some distant view Just want some one to Laugh when I blow a fuse I don't want to be here on my own Hungry as a dog without a bone I don't want to be alone I don't want to cry and moan I don't want to be alone I don't want to cry and moan Nobody can hear a single word I say As I walk the floor Seems there's nothing more Time to go to sleep once more But in my dreams there's a place Where it's never to late I see nothing has changed And that's where you still remain Don't want a picture Don't want a postcard Don't want a picture Don't want a postcard Don't want a picture Don't want a postcard Don't want a picture Don't want a postcard Don't want a picture |

Beneath the scattered light
Across bare hills of night I dreamt a train just missed me Another came in sight I ran across the track Then had to turn right back A new one came straight at me The next behind my back Nowhere else to turn to There are walls on either side Why must the embankment be so high Beside myself with weakness And faint from running wild I could hear the sound of burning coal They never seem to stop But always get to smoke Right out between two tunnels I ran until I woke |

Yes, I'm such a simple man
Just book me on the flight Every day's another place Playing into the night And you can't unwind You're wrecked before the show Everything's fine when you feel that 'Johnny go go go' - go go Will you play tonight for me? Promise I'll do my best Yes, rock music should be free Money's worth less and less And the walls should be cracked Four red faces make a noise All dressed in black I can't tell if they are girls or boys - or boys Will you play tonight for me? Promise I'll do my best Yes, rock music should be free Money's worth less and less And the walls should be cracked Four red faces make a noise All dressed in black I can't tell if they are girls or boys - or boys - or boys |

As New Orleans slips far away
When the gas lights dim and the street cars fade When the beast within takes on a new shape The blood runs cold make no mistake You're just a vampyre with a healthy appetite And you stay awake half the night A band strikes up and they're starting to play When the sirens wail but they're way too late The crowds don't see they're drunk anyway The inquest said it was coming her way You're just a vampyre with a healthy appetite And you stay awake half the night Well you ran to ground as you always do And then they finally caught up with you Well they sent you down and Old Smokey was waiting But pressure groups being what they are these days You were released after five years at a funny farm In upstate bankrupt New York To walk the streets once more |

Take these pearls from an oyster shell
From the depths of the ocean bed From the bottom of the sea like a wishing well Take these stones fashioned into jewels Like the essence of a half remembered song From the crust of the earth to the limits of the sky Take these stones fashioned into jewels Like the essence of a half remembered song From the crust of the earth to the limits of the sky |

Standard bearers march to the tick of the clock
It's a war against time when you're fronting the flock Determined resolute defiant and strong Noble and Savage know they belong In the heart of the city The battlefield of love a ruffled feathered bed From fluid moist lips the benediction's said You love them and leave them with yesterday's guilt Everything's on schedule in the empire that you built In the heart of the city You close a deal Thursday at 7.45 The train home is empty you're the only man alive You throw away your clothes in a house of clouds The window is sealed the furniture in shrouds In the heart of the city |

Standing under the lamplight
In one of the nicer parts of hell Behold this dreamer with rich red ruby lips Some pay for the privilege And some just pay to talk Because there are many sides to the night When Father Thames lies sleeping His ever watchful sons Divide up the spoils of the day's takings A woman's work is never ever done She's a child a slave a teacher and a fool And then she vanishes from sight Did no one ever tell you There are many sides to the night Standing under the lamplight Selling perfume sweetcorn and lace She looks beautiful from a distance But it's too dark to see her face I do it for my child alone And who would say it's just not right Verily I say unto you There are many sides to the night |

Dark as night, dark as the grave
Dark wherein my friend is laid Sleepwalkers fill the boulevards Pretty girls and backward boys All the voices can be heard, an opera of the absurd Dark as night, dark as the grave Dark wherein my friend is laid We welcome you, we welcome you The world of chaos far away As the crowd of mourners said "Tragedy is nothing new" Dark as night Dark as night, dark as the grave Dark wherein my friend is laid |

I see the valleys, I see the streams
I see the mountains and what's in between I hear thunder fall from the sky I see a world lost in your eyes In my dreams I see you smile I feel the sun, I want to stay for a while I hear music just makes me cry I see a world lost in your eyes A one horse town, A dirt road Way in the desert where the cactus grow I hear you calling me mile after mile I see a world lost in your eyes |
