(Wetton/Downes)
They decorated all the generals Who fought the wars behind the lines They had forgotten all the soldiers The brandy put them way behind the times Insanity has found its way to TV screens Vision seems impossible to me They fight {they fight} for king {for king} and country I never would have thought this in my {chorus} Wildest dreams Wildest dreams Wildest dreams Wildest dreams The evening comes, we sit and watch the VJs Clips and rushes come from who knows where From Washington across to California With fighting breaking out in Leicester Square We see the soldiers moving on to victory And children trampled under marching feet They fight {they fight} for king {for king} and country How many millions will they put to sleep? {chorus} Wildest dreams Wildest dreams Wildest dreams Wildest dreams Fly away... No, not in this world No, not in the next No, not in my wildest dreams They recommended euthanasia For non-conformists anywhere Some men's dreams for others turn to nightmares This never would have happened in my {chorus} Fly away... No, not in this world No, not in the next No, not in my wildest dreams... |

We used to live in a better world
Where sky and water were free We point the finger We point the gun Is that the way it should be? We rape the land And we tear the skin Burn the blood In the stone To fuel the fire of a selfish mind Do you want to live here alone? Chorus: Lay down your arms - surrender You know you'll never get out of here Lay down your arms - remember No force - you'd better lay down your gun Such are the sins of humanity Dark is the air that we breathe A war to hide in society Don't close your eyes to deceive Too many promises Too may tears Where does the future lie If we burn away the years We can make this a better world Where sky and water are free So give the hand without the gun That's the way it will be Chorus |

Heat Of The Moment
by Asia I never meant to be so bad to you One thing I said that I would never do One look from you and I would fall from grace And that would wipe this smile right from my face Do you remember when we used to dance And incidence arose from circumstance One thing lead to another we were young And we would scream together songs unsung It was the heat of the moment Telling me what your heart meant Heat of the moment shone in your eyes And now you find yourself in 82 The disco hotspots hold no charm for you You can't concern yourself with bigger things You catch the pearl and ride the dragon's wings And when your looks are gone and you're alone How many nights you sit beside the phone What were the things you wanted for yourself Teenage ambition you remember well |

Don't want to live in another world
Don't want to dream of another girl That's the way it was meant to be I couldn't sleep through the lonely night I just cried till the morning It's not the way it was meant to be Chorus: Someday you may find somebody else Someday love my shine on you Someday you may find the one You didn't leave me, you ran away Couldn't face what you had to say It's not the way it was meant to be Now you can live in your other world Me, i've found me another girl And that's the way it was meant to be Chorus When I dream, I dream of one world But I know there's no such place If I could ever find that one girl In my world, in my world Chorus |

This problem is insoluble
The answers seem impossible The logic ceases to exit Emotion is the beat we miss I stand on a world Where dreams, realities, existence are the same We take from our mother's skin But the world is not to blame Who tells the wind which way to blow? I wonder who will stop the rain The rocks that hold the secrets, they don't know So who can stop the rain? We've lost the path for all we know Now tell me when will it start again? And as the old man lifts his hands Please can you stop the rain Stars fall far away Like they never did before A new moon shining Like it never will again Who tells the wind which way to blow? I wonder who will stop the rain The rocks that hold the secrets, they don't know So who can stop the rain? Desert white cloud Spirits they sing Rain falls from the big sky Onto broken wing There is no sense in turning back To wash the debris from the track World without reason without rhyme We fought for peace within our time Who tells the wind which way to blow? I wonder who will stop the rain We've lost the path for all we know Please can you stop the rain |

{chorus}
Rock and roll dream Not what it seems Who is the dreamer now? When I see the faces from the limousine No chance of our survival Armed forces, guardians of the law Awaiting our arrival They all are young We all were young And I've seen this place before Open up the door Let us in All the things I've seen Words I said, I didn't mean Feelings, I took for granted But now reality One thing we could never see Everything, we always wanted They all are young We all were young And I've seen this place before Open up the door Let us in {chorus} If I had the choice Words came through my voice I should have left unspoken Now it's obvious Clear to all of us The dream that now is broken Take the stage tonight Go face the lights With this image you should keep You're crying in your sleep Tonight {chorus} |

Love under fire
We stand in the flame Now and forever After the rain When is forever? You can take it from me It may be never C'est la vie Love under fire And we stand in the flame Now and forever After the rain When is forever? You can take it from me It may be never Just wait and see You can hide in the jungle You can climb up a tree You can scan the horizon Tell me what you see? As cold as a mountain With a heart that can freeze There's a storm on the water With every heart that she seas Love under fire |

What on earth are you doing here, in the
western world? Another situation yeah you're a different girl You have lived your life dreaming you were someone else Succeeding's believing in yourself Open your eyes And see the world that stands before you now Open your eyes And see the world that stands in front of you You have spent your days trying for something new You have looked at magazine girls, wishing that they were you Do you see in photographs an angel that once was you? Does she tell you stories that are true? Open your eyes And see the world that stands before you now Open your eyes And see the world that stands in front of you If I could stand with you right now and speak my mind I would tell you no lies I would shoot straight between the eyes You have stared a thousand times, right into the lens Have you ever thought just once, does it all make sense? Your beauty is eternal so don't just pretend Got to wake up girl, or it's the end... |

Her fingers feel the air
The mantle now so bare From green then into brown Lie scattered all around We hope they will return Like those before did learn Now that their summer's gone We have to carry on Till we rise, I just can't wait Now tell me, who are you To judge my fate? Chorus: Oh, the rain burns on Now that summer's gone Oh, the wind blows strong Now that summer's gone Across the fields we ran To emerald castles, banned By rule of modern man Who built a winterland Then as the seasons change He'll fly and hide away Above a cloud of words On wings of gold I heard We must rise, it's not too late Now tell me, who are you To change our fate? Chorus |

From the very first rush
To the very last sigh In a moment's touch To the whole of time Be the secrets of pain Kiss the tears that you cry Just to hold without Get to touch within From the sound of your breath To the taste of your skin I'd give all my days Just for one of your nights I've just got to get next to you Let it out, let it go Chorus: Desire, make it physical Looks to feed the thrill Desire, with its hungry eyes Closing for the kill Desire, all that's left in me Tears the night in two Desire, like a primitive Claw my way to you Are you thinking of me Like I'm thinking of you? How the innocence dies In a passionate stare A shaft of light A silent dare The call of the wild... From the very first crime Of original sin To the carnal lie Where the truth begins Just to feel your nails Lift me up like wings I've just got to get next to you Let it out, let it go Chorus |

Don't read "Marx"
He's a clean cut guy Just the dream On a TV eye If you swim In the dark You lose a hand When you feed the shark Chorus: Little rich boy, she's gonna find you Little rich boy Little rich boy, those claws will blind you Just a little rich boy She got hooks In your veins Feel the pleasure Kill the pain Drop a pearl See the dragon fly Crack the diamond Do you still feel high? Chorus |

Only Time Will Tell
by Asia You're leaving now It's in your eyes There's no disguising it It really comes as no surprise To find that you planned it all along I see it now Becomes so clear Your insincerity And me all starry-eyed You'd think that I would have known by now Now, sure as the sun will cross the sky The lie is over Lost, like the tears that used to tide me over CHORUS: Only time will tell One thing is sure That time will tell Only time will tell If you were wrong The brightest ring around the moon Will darken when I die Now sure as the sun will cross the sky The lying's over Gone, like the tears that used to tide me over You're leaving now It's in your eyes There's no disguising it It really comes as no surprise To find that you planned it all along Only time will tell I see it now, become so clear Only time will tell Your insincerity And me all starry-eyed You'd think that I would have known by now Now, sure as the sun will cross the sky The lie is over Lost, like the tears that used to tide me over Only time will tell You're on your own inside your room Only time will tell You're claiming victory You were just using me And there is no one you can use now Only time will tell One thing is sure... |
