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. |

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 |

I got sunshine in my stomach
Like I just rocked my baby to sleep. I got sunshine in my stomach And I can't keep me from creeping sleep, Sleep, deep in the deep. Rockface moves to press my skin White liquids turn sour within Turn fast - turn sour Turn sweat - turn sour. Must tell myself that I'm not here. I'm drowning in a liquid fear. Bottled in a strong compression, My distortion shows obsession In the cave, Get me out of this cave! If I keep self-control, I'll be safe in my soul. And the childhood belief Bring's a moment's relief. But my cynic soon returns And the lifeboat burns. My spirit just never learns. Stalactites, stalagmites Shut me in, lock me tight Lips are dry, throat is dry. Feel like burning, stomach churning I'm dressed up in a white costume Padding out leftover room. Body stretching, feel the wretching In the cage Get me out of this cage! In the glare of a light, I see a strange kind of sight; Of cages joined to form a star Each person can't go very far, All tied to their things They are netted by their strings, Free to flutter in memories of their wasted wings. Outside the cage I see my brother John, He turns his head so slowly round. I cry out Help! before he can be gone, And he looks at me without a sound. And I shout out 'John please help me!' But he does not even want to try to speak. I'm helpless in my violent rage And a silent tear of blood dribbles down his cheek, And I watch him turn again and leave the cage. My little runaway. Raindrops keep falling on my head thinking falling on my... In a trap, feel a strap Holding still. Pinned for kill. Chances narrow that I'll make it, In the cushioned straight-jacket. Just like 22nd Street. When they got me by my neck and feet. Pressures building, can't take more. My headaches charge. My earaches roar. In this pain Get me out of this pain. If I could change to liquid, I could fill the cracks up in the rock. But I know that I am solid And I am my own bad luck. Outside John disappears and my cage dissolves, And without any reason my body revolves. Keep on turning, Keep on turning... Turning around Just spinning around. |

(Written by Tony Banks)
Like the dust that settles all around me, I must find a new home The ways and holes that used to give me shelter Are all as one to me now. But I, I would search everywhere Just to hear your call, And walk upon stranger roads than this one In a world I used to know before I miss you more. Then the sun reflecting off my pillow, Bringing the warmth of new life. And the sounds that echoed all around me, I caught a glimpse of in the night But now, now I've lost everything, I give to you my soul, The meaning of all that I believed before Escapes me in this world of none, no thing, no one. And I would search everywhere Just to hear your call, And walk upon stranger roads than this one, In a world I used to know before For now I've lost everything, I give to you my soul. The meaning of all that I believed before Escapes me in this world of none, I miss you more. |

Hold on my heart
Just hold on to that feeling We both know we've been here before We both know what can happen Hold on my heart 'Cause I'm looking over your shoulder Ooh please don't rush in this time Don't show her how you feel Hold on my heart Throw me a lifeline I'll keep a place for you Somewhere deep inside So hold on my heart Please tell her to be patient 'Cause there has never been a time That I wanted something more If I can recall this feeling And I know there's a chance Oh I will be there Yes I will be there Be there for you Whenever you want me to Whenever you call Oh I will be there Yes I will be there Hold on my heart Don't let her see you crying No matter where I go She'll always be with me So hold on my heart Just hold on to that feeling We both know we've been here before We both know what can happen So hold on my heart Just hold on my heart Hold on my heart |

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 |

Stay with me,
My love I hope you'll always be Right here by my side if ever I need you Oh my love In your arms, I feel so safe and so secure Everyday is such a perfect day to spend Alone with you I will follow you will you follow me All the days and nights that we know will be I will stay with you will you stay with me Just one single tear in each passing year With the dark I see so very clearly now All my fears are drifting by me so slowly now Fading away I can say The night is long but you are there Close at hand though I'm better for the smile you give And while I live I will follow you will you follow me All the days and nights that we know will be I will stay with you will you stay with me Just one single tear in each passing year I will follow you will you follow me All the days and nights that we know will be I will stay with you will you stay with me Just one single tear in each passing year |

(Written by Banks,Collins,Gabriel,Hackett,Rutherford)
The path is clear, though no eyes can see The course laid down long before And so with gods and men, the sheep remain inside their pen Though many times they've seen the way to leave He rides majestic, past homes of men Who care not or gaze with joy To see reflected there, the trees, the sky, the lily fair The scene of death is lying just below The mountains cut off the town from view Like a cancer growth is removed by skill Let it be revealed A waterfall, his madrigal An inland sea, his symphony Undinal songs urge the sailors on 'Till lured by the siren's cry... Now as the river dissolve in sea So Neptune has claimed another soul And so with gods and men, the sheep remain inside their pen Until the shepherd leads his flock away The sands of time were eroded by The river of constant change |

It's one o'clock and time for lunch,
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 Mister Lewis: "Isn't it time that he was out on his own?" Over the garden wall, two little lovebirds - cuckoo to you! Keep them moving 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 your time; there's a future for you in the fire escape trade. Come up to town!" But I remebered a voice from the past; "Gambling only plays when you're winning" - I had to thank old Miss Mort for schooling a failure. Keep them moving blades sharp... 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 |

Bluegirls come in every size
some are wise and some otherwise They've got pretty blue eyes For an hour a man may change For an hour her face looks strange Looks strange, looks strange Marching to the promised land Where the honey flows and takes you by the hand Pulls you down on your knees While you're down a pool appears The face in the water looks up And she shakes her head as if to say That it's the last time you'll look like today Sail away, away Ripples never come back Gone to the other side Sail away, away The face that launched a thousand ships Is sinking fast, that happens you know The water gets below Seems not very long ago Lovelier she was than any that I know Angels never know it's time To close the book and gracefully decline The song has found a tale My, what a jealous pool is she The face in the water looks up And she shakes her head as if to say That the bluegirls have all gone away Sail away, away Ripples never come back Gone to the other side Look into the pool Ripples never come back Dive to the bottom and go to the top To see where they have gone Oh, they've gone to the other side |

Need I say I love you
Need I say I care Need I say that emotion's, Something we don't share I don't want to be sitting here trying to deceive you Cos you know I know baby I don't wanna go. We cannot live together We cannot live apart That's the situation I've known it from the start Every time that I look at you I can see the future Cos you know I know baby I don't wanna go. Throwing it all away Throwing it all away Is there nothing that I can say To make you change your mind I watch the world go round and round And see mine turning upside down You're throwing it all away. Who'll light up the darkness Who will hold your hand Who will find you the answers When you don't understand Why should I have to be the one Who has to convince you Cos you know I know baby That I don't wanna go. Some day you'll be sorry Someday when you're free Memories will remind you That our love was meant to be Late at night when you call my name The only sound you'll hear Is the sound of your voice calling Calling after me. Just throwing it all away Throwing it all away There's nothing I can say You're throwing it all away |

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? |

Well I've been waiting
Waiting here so long But thinking nothing Nothing could go wrong But now I know She has a built in ability To take everything she sees And now it seems I'm falling Falling for her She seems to have An invisible touch Yeah She reaches in Grabs right hold of your heart She seems to have An invisible touch Yeah It takes control and slowly tears you apart. I don't really know her I only know her name But she crawls under your skin You're never quite the same And now I know She's got something you just can't trust It's something mysterious And now it seems I'm falling Falling for her She seems to have An invisible touch Yeah She reaches in Grabs right hold of your heart She seems to have An invisible touch Yeah It takes control and Slowly tears you apart She don't like losing To her it's still a game Though she'll mess up your life You'll want her just the same Now I know She has a built in ability To take everything she sees And now it seems I've fallen Fallen for her She seems to have An invisible touch Yeah She reaches in Grabs right hold of your heart She seems to have An invisible touch Yeah It takes control And slowly tears you apart |

There is lambswool under my naked feet,
The wool is soft and warm, - 'Gives off some kind of heat. A salamander scurries into flame to be destroyed. Imaginary creatures are trapped in birth on celluloid. The fleas cling to the golden fleece, Hoping they'll find peace. Each thought and gesture are caught in celluloid. There's no hiding in my memory. There's no room to avoid. The crawlers cover the floor in the red ochre corridor. For my second sight of people, they've more lifeblood than before. They're moving in time to a heavy wooden door, Where the needle's eye is winking, closing on the poor. The carpet crawlers heed their callers; "We've got to get in to get out We've got to get in to get out We've got to get in to get out." There's only one direction in the faces that I see; It's upward to the ceiling, where the chamber's said to be. Like the forest fight for sunlight, that takes root in every tree, There are pulled up by the magnet, believeing they're free. The carpet crawlers heed their callers; "We've got to get in to get out We've got to get in to get out We've got to get in to get out." Mild mannered supermen are held in kryptonite, And the wise and foolish virgins giggle with their bodies glowing bright. Through the door a harvest feast is lit by candlelight; It's the bottom of a staircase that spirals out of sight. The carpet crawlers heed their callers; "We've got to get in to get out We've got to get in to get out We've got to get in to get out." The porcelain mannikin with shattered skin fears attack. The eager pack lit up their pitchers - they carry all they lack. The liquid has congealed, which has seeped out through the crack. And the tickler takes his sticleback. The carpet crawlers heed their callers; "We've got to get in to get out We've got to get in to get out We've got to get in to get out." |
