It's a matter of time before we know If you follow the signs, let your feelings show Oh babe, you've got nothing to lose We can talk for a while and that's all right I can see in your eyes what you feel inside You don't know what you've been doing Leave me standing here We are on the edge of reality We've gone too far Not the way that it's meant to be It's a matter of time It's just a matter of time It's a matter of time before we say We got out of line looking for the way Oh babe, you've got something to hide You can stay for a while and that's all right I see in your smile what you feel tonight You don't know what you've been doing Leave us standing here We are on the edge of reality We've gone too far Not the way that it's meant to be It's a matter of time It's just a matter of time Are you really looking for someone Who'll turn you on And always be around you? Take another look and you will see That I will be waiting It's a matter of time It's a matter of time Oh babe, it's just a matter of time |

I'm hitting the road to heading nowhere
Got no place to go I'm stuck inside my generation Round and round I go. I'm sick of the sound of Rolling Thunder Times they were a-changing And Rock'n'Roll died with Easy Rider Tearing up my traces. David Bowie was Hunky Dory Aladdin quite insane Give the sound of Arthur Lee with Forever Changes, I'll remember And more again, don't leave me ever Buddy Holly said, "Baby, please be mine" All the time. I'm cutting out now before the New Wave Takes my surf board flair Remember the time when Zappa said "Punk, where you going with that Flower in your hair?" There's so many who's who's, Rolling Stones, Rod Stewards and Small Faces And Tommy's the King of Pinball flings That chases my generation. David Bowie was Hunky Dory Aladdin quite insane Give the sound of Arthur Lee with Forever Changes, I'll remember And more again, don't leave me ever Buddy Holly said, "Baby, please be mine" All the time. |

Through the eyes of a child
There's no wrong or right No reason to hate No need for a fight No colour, no creed No malice, no greed Till the child becomes a man Give up your freedom Hand back your rights Then change your colour now You're black not white And there'll never be a piece of the action Now you're an African Forget beliefs and swallow your pain You're just a number now And Boy's your name And you'll never get a piece of the action Now you're a working man African, Asian, it's all the same Brown, black, Caucasian It's all the same Slave labour, working class What's in a name? Far left, far right, centre It's power they crave The politics of Apartheid The politics of shame The cold abuse of human rights Of torture and of pain Are only part of the action When you're an African The politics of making more The politics of greed The cold abuse of poverty To keep your labour cheap Are only part of the action When you're a working man African, Asian, it's all the same Brown, black, Caucasian It's all the same Slave labour, working class What's in a name? Far left, far right, centre Far left, far right, centre Far left, far right, centre It's power they crave The politics of buying arms When there's no food to eat The politics of digging gold Instead of planting seeds The leader with his private golf course And his flashy cars Sits playing with his diamond wrist watch While the people starve The politics of shooting down A plane that brings relief By fat men playing power games Who've got enough to eat The politics of racial hate The politics of war The men who sell the guns have fun While we all count the score One, two, three, four Thousands, millions People dying just to keep Them in the action Through the eyes of a man There's wrong and there's right A reason to hate There's need for a fight There's colour, there's creed There's malice, there's greed When the child becomes a man |

Driving down the road
Under the southern light Looking back to see Where we've come from As we watched the sun go down Rain it fell like diamonds From Kimberley mines On the road to Jo'burg With the dying light Farewal Durban City of Natal Stopped a while to stretch my thoughts As we crossed the borderline And into Transvaal I saw the sun go down Under the southern skies Over and over I'll always remember Those beautiful African nights In the old VW We'd count the miles We travelled with a friend Whose name was Farr The stories that he told us Talked of faces Times and places Sang and played his guitar Driving down the road We hear the morning rise Leaving all the past So far behind The sound man played the Eagles As we listen "Take It Easy" Echoes on through our lives I saw the sun go down Under the southern skies Over and over I'll always remember I still hear them call No matter how far Those beautiful African nights |

John's vision of armageddon literally closes the album with a bang! The references in the lyric to a stained-glass window ("one great wall of coloured parts") and "the multi-coloured cross left standing through it all" add to the apocalyptic feel of the song, which was a live favourite for many years, particularly in the days of the band's concerts with the orchestra.
Lyrics: The eyes of night march slowly by The last grain falls The kneeling man just sighs Protected by the one great wall Of coloured parts He probes his clouded mind If he takes a look around him Is there nothing left to see Is there nothing left at all After the day With trembling hands he wipes his eyes He tries to stand But does not feel the need The morning sun shines on The multicoloured cross Left standing through it all If he takes a look around him Is there nothing left to see Is there nothing left at all After the day If he takes a look around him Is there nothing left to see Is there nothing left at all After the day |

It's been a long long time
Thought you were a friend of mine Holding on the end of the line I've been waiting for you Seen the way the wind is blowing Look around and I don't know If the time is right or wrong I've been waiting so long All my life All my life All my life I've been waiting All my life All my life All my life I've been waiting for you Can't get away, can't get away Can't get away from your love I've been searching up and down Watching as the world goes round Just another boy in town I was looking for love See the way the rain is falling Black as night and I keep calling Your name out loud I walk on and on and on and on... All my life All my life All my life I've been waiting All my life All my life All my life I've been waiting for you All my life... |

The cold in your eyes
Like the misty breath of a whisper On an ice-cold morn The cold in your face Like a dagger drawn Like a flashing blade In a killer blow We were never lovers And silently I froze within The gaze from your eyes That summer night In the dark of the night All alone in the night In the dark of the night, calling All alone in the night for your love All alone in the night I need you to hold me Timeless arrows carved through Broken hearts of stone Shadows moving slowly across the ground A cold reminder of the way Things used to be Now I feel the shadows Moving over me I searched in vain for love When true love I had found Like a blind man I could never see Those timeless arrows pierce my soul Now you're gone Ageless shadows closing in Won't let me be Only you set me free The cold in your eyes Like the misty breath of a whisper On an ice-cold morn You told me it was over And silently I froze within the gaze From your eyes That summer night In the dark of the night, calling All alone in the night, for your love In the dark of the night, crying All alone in the night for your love In the dark of the night, calling All alone in the night, for your love In the dark of the night, crying All alone in the night I need you to hold me... |

On a cold starry night in the winter time Stood three old men by a mill pond in the moonlight And they spoke of their young men in the front line How they all wished them home for the Christmas time As they spoke from the east came a bright light And it sparkled like pure gold in their sad eyes And an angel came down on Denshaw Mill Spreading her light all around on the Darkside Are you blind can you not see Do you think that it's me who deceives? He promised to be there if you believe, to carry you home A hole as rotten as ever fouled the green earth Was this old mill in its day, spoke the angel Yet there's many a poor boy in foreign climes Who would think this old mill now a palace fine As she spoke from the mill there came laughter Came the warm sounds of their young men like a summer breeze And they rose in the night like fire bright Spreading their light all around on the Darkside Are you blind can you not see Do you think that it's me who deceives? He promised to be there if you believe, to carry you home No-one knows what became of the bonny lads Posted missing, lost in action in a far land Fools and heroes, gallant men, now side by side With the old men who believed they came home that night To the warmth of their homes at Christmas time To the peace of their homes at Christmas time |

Years may come and years they go You've seen your bridges burning And the wheels of time keep turning Like a ship in the night You passed along the highways of my life And now my mind you're always in And the ten-thirty flight will soon be headed my way As she sails across the skyway of Berlin Oh, and to think of all the changes you have seen Oh, and reflect upon the way it might have been Like a ship in the night You passed along the highways of my life And now my mind you're always in And the ten-thirty flight will soon be headed my way As she sails across the skyway of Berlin |

We will survive beyond the grave
And as we sleep we will be saved Life in its essence will endure Whilst still on earth we can be sure All our endeavours surely must return to dust We will survive beyond the grave And as we sleep we will be saved Though storm and tempest ravage all And all is darkness where we fall Like brave Explorers bold and free We sail forever on the sea!! Above the seven seas is one The sea of life we drift upon Our spirits living in the waves Survive beyond the grave! |

Mystery is following me down that lonesome road
And I don't know my way, my way back home There's someone on my shoulder and he will not share a load And I don't know my way, my way back home There's a certain something deep inside Like a rolling sea or a river wide As the orchestra starts playing Get down Joe You can see his face, you can feel his smile Yeah, look down low and let the tears run wild When the orchestra starts playing Blue John's Blues Think about me, girl, and the things I ain't said I could not be sad, thinkin' 'bout the things that you do While the folks around me sing on Blue John's Blues Band is swinging, people singing Get down Joe There's a place down home where people meet They clap their hands and they stamp their feet When the music starts and the band plays Get down Joe They sing out loud and they sing out clear Turn your head round girl and you might just hear And if you do then start down singing Blue John's Blues Think about me, girl, and the things I ain't said I could not be sad, thinkin' 'bout the things that you do While the folks around me sing on Blue John's Blues Band is swinging, people singing Get down Joe Take hold of John's blues (?) Must be a thousand hues (?) Blue John's Blues Get back Joe Take back all of your dough You've got no place to go Blue John's Blues Get back now Joe My sweetest girl that I ever had She's drive any poor man bad Blue John's Blues Well my Ma and my Papa said, Son You'll get the KB when you're not on the run (?) Blue John's Blues Well my lady and me we're gonna dance all night Yeah yeah we're gonna dance until the broad broad light Blue John's Blues The sweetest girl that I ever had Was guaranteed to drive a poor man bad Blue John's Blues Blue John Blues Get back Joe Lord, get back Joe |

When I was just a child
My world it was so small The empty playground swings The corner shop, the penny drinks The backyard walls Of a brave new world And as the years passed by I never thought to try And memorise the dreams The childhood fantasies The backyard walls Of a brave new world Hey, Suzanne, won't you come out to play? Well the moon is bright and this weather's fine And there's something I've got to say Hey, Suzanne, won't you come out to play? Well my mama told me and I know she's right That the blackest day's when the nations fight Remember to pray when you go to bed For what mama said Bow your head For a brave new world Now I'm twenty-four My small world's closed the door I feel like I should cry Death's desperation lies on every eye In the brave new world Hey, Suzanne, won't you come out to play? Well the moon is bright and the weather's fine And there's something I've got to say Hey, Suzanne, won't you come out to play? Well my mama told me and I know she's right That the blackest day's when the nations fight Remember to pray when you go to bed For what mama said Bow your head For a brave new world Now I'm old and grey And life has passed my way My tears have all run dry I've seen men born to kill and born to die For a brave new world For a brave new world It's such an old, old world |

Brother Thrush, how you fly so high
Way up in the clouds The trees resound with open arms for one so rare Brother Man just can't compare When we're sitting on the banks of the sunshine We hear your song High above the living Brother gull, see him soar the sky He's so pleased to be Buoyant and triumphant on the raging sea Backing nature, feeling free Loving nature, rest your head Hear the message, man is dead See the cities fall While Brother Bird still... flies! Brother Lark, see him wake the day See him fly on by Above the streets now empty to his mournful cry Brother Man just heaves a sigh When we're sitting on the banks of the sunshine We hear your song High above the living Yes, we hear your song... |

Born in a cold war Opened up my eyes See the bombers riding Dark against the sky Fly like an eagle Carried on the wind See our hearts are broken So many lives are gone Waiting for this dream to end We're not alone We'll live on forever They echo the songs Of the partisans Don't be afraid We're heading for glory The fears of the past Bring tears of today Nothing's going to change Cold is the winter Chills you to the bone Praying for the silence Will the morning come? Out on the border Lost without a friend Searching for a reason The battle rages on Waiting for this dream to end We're not alone We'll live on forever They echo the songs Of the partisans Don't be afraid We're heading for glory The fears of the past Bring tears of today Nothing's going to change |

Running alone in the crazy city
Look at the face of once were pretty People then wonder what happened To make it that way Listen around you, have you heard? Climb on the back of a silver bird London to L.A. before you can think What to say Stop awhile, take a smile Know that you're living in today Up and down, look around No need to hide yourself away Out in the country's where I'm going Back where the tree of life's still growing Take a free ride where the tide Flows the way of your heart Follow the wild dove where he's flying Out where the sun is never crying Wait at the gate or they'll stop you And blow you apart Stop awhile, take a smile Know that you're living in today Up and down, look around No need to hide yourself away |

Dark now my sky The sea of peace has left my shore No birds sing The silent spring will overflow Oh you'll never know I love you so You'll always be A part of me Dark now my eyes The sea of peace has met the sky No birds sing And like the Spring life whispers by Oh you'll never know I love you so You'll always be A part of me Dark now my sky The winds of time have swept my shore No birds fly The trees that fall will rise no more Oh you'll never know I love you so You'll always be A part of me |

Don't ask me how I know
But this dark sky will soon be blue Don't ask, no don't ask Just watch as the grey mists of winter fall Like so many drops of dew Feel the ice melt to warm tears in my eyes Uner the light of a tin sun Do not ask me how I know The effect of light on unseeing eyes How should I know? How could I know? Dark now my sky The sea of peace has left my shore No birds sing The silent spring will overflow Oh you'll never know I love you so You'll always be A part of me Dark now my eyes The sea of peace has met the sky No birds sing And like the Spring life whispers by Oh you'll never know I love you so You'll always be A part of me Dark now my sky The winds of time have swept my shore No birds fly The trees that fall will rise no more Oh you'll never know I love you so You'll always be A part of me |

I look down the street but there's no one there
In the cold, in the dark, in the night air I call out for life but my heart feels despair There's no sign of a light in the cold dismal night The lights have all gone the clothes are all torn The people are gone but the victory's won I call out for life but it's after the day Now the people are gone just the city alone Eyes look from the second floor Down to the street below Calm now the wind is slow See posters once on the wall Now washed away in the rain Peeling from buildings tall I'll follow you friends to where life never ends Make our mistakes again as our life lines descend Time is like dust and the dust is like snow As it covers the ruins of the life that you know Trees once green now turned to stone Objects that look like ghosts All of them overgrown Mist all sight and mind is blurred Lie on your back and cry Words uttered never heard I look down the street but there's no one there In the cold, in the dark, in the night air I call out for life but my heart feels despair There's no sign of a light in the cold dismal night The lights have all gone the clothes are torn The people are gone but the victory's won I call out for life but it's after the day Now the people are gone just the city alone |

Sitting here, me and Chris's son
We've got a story to strike you down About a girl with the light in her eyes Black on the night, drive on the day Let the wheels run dry Sitting here, waiting for the sun Little darling, for you to come By the light of the moon flashing by Black on the night, drive on the day Let the wheels run dry Fly on by silver bird in the sky Fly on day, black on night, roll on by Bring on the sunshine shine in her eyes Fly on by silver bird Sitting here in the early grey Of a Delph town morning, we sit and pray For a sight of the light in her eyes Black on the night, drive on the day Let the wheels run dry Fly on by silver bird in the sky Fly on day, black on night, roll on by Bring on the sunshine shine in her eyes Fly on by silver bird |

Doctor Doctor tell me if you can
What is wrong with me I can't seem to find the key Doctor Doctor I'm begging on my knees Won't you tell me please What could be my malady? When I'm down feeling kind of low I don't want to be the last to know When I'm down crawling cross the floor I don't want to be, I can't stand to be The last to know Doctor Doctor help me through the day Give me something natural I can depend on Doctor Doctor it's something that I need It's a natural panacea Like a cure for every fear It's some of her sweet love Mixed up with her young blood True love and devotion What a wonderful potion Tonight, tonight Doctor Doctor why am I alone Listening to my heart Beating through the cold dark night Doctor Doctor I'm shaking in the gloom Could this be defeat Please don't stop, don't miss a beat When I'm down feeling kind of low I don't want to be the last to know When I'm down crawling cross the floor I don't want to be, I can't stand to be The last to know Doctor Doctor help me through the day Give me something natural I can depend on Doctor Doctor it's something that I need It's a natural panacea Like a cure for every fear It's some of her sweet love Mixed up with her young blood True love and devotion What a wonderful potion Tonight, tonight |

Early morning
It's cold and the sun is white For I was born in The darkness before the light Of a new day A new way of living Of giving delight And if you pay Then you may be slipping Back into the night Then all knowing With words and with pen I write Of the growing Of things that are in my sight Early evening It's cold and the moon is bright And I believe in The darkness before the light Of a new day A new way of living Of giving delight And if you pay Then you may be slipping Back into the night |

Here lie the towers so tall
Strange, they tumble and fall Time softly playing the chord Could be lost in the void Do your eyes see it all? Gone like the dreams that you made Sad how memory fades Drawn by the mystical sight There's a voice in the night And your eyes see it all Stay with me All I want from you Just stay with me All I want to do Is look in your eyes And sail on through the night Echoes and shadows Drift through tomorrow's Dreams that you follow In the dark Fools are entranced by the dawn But the wise man misses it all He laughs and the pages are torn While the intellect scorns As he clutches the straws Stay with me All I want from you Just stay with me All I want to do Is look in your eyes And sail on through the night Echoes and shadows Drift through tomorow's Dreams that you follow In the dark |

No meaning any more I can't seem to recall Places that I've seen It's like I've never been Sometimes I feel so small And if I was to ask What it's all about How could I find out If it's true?

I can't go on without you
There's a part of me that's gone Like a day without the sun I can't go on without you There is nothing I can do And no words that I can say All the meanings slip away I can't go on without you I used to think you loved me so Now you have gone and love's no more I can't go on without you Though I must try to live again But my tears fall like the rain I can't go on without you I can't go on without you There's a part of me that's gone Like a day without the sun I can't go on without you Like a day without the sun I can't go on without you |

Love was a lesson we tried to learn
There were no exams to pass or fail Only heartbreaks, renew our faith Life was a lesson we've tried to learn There were no tests to pass, no license to gain Only win or lose, renew our faith Renew our faith, let us see Fifties child was right to believe Peace and love were our needs The need to be free War is a lesson we've had to learn We had to learn to kill, to destroy and burn But our spirits cry, renew our faith Peace is a lesson we've yet to learn A prize for all mankind who race for the gain Of love and harmony, renew our faith Renew our faith, let us see Fifties child was right to believe Peace and love were our needs The need to be free Renew our faith, let us see Young and old we're right to believe Peace and love are our needs The need to be free |

Standing before me
Light shining into my eyes Telling the story You wandered into my life Without your sweet love Where in the world would I be Love is the reason You're following me I try to hear you Voice echoes into the night You giving me your heart I know that the feeling is right Without your sweet love Where in the world would I be Love is the reason You're following me Come with me Take a chance for our lives to be free On and on That's the way that we want it to be I can see a new tomorrow Maybe I'm dreaming And the song we'll sing together We can believe in High above the clouds we're drifting See how we're flying Can you feel the music lift you Higher and higher Standing before me Light shining into my eyes Telling the story You wandered into my life Without your sweet love Where in the world would I be Love is the reason You're following me |

For your love I cry
The long lonely hours Before the dawn In my dreams I try To hold back the dark To hold back the fear But I'm not alone tonight So help me turn the tide Light up the flame of love And let it shine I have hope, I pray That someday we'll all Have love of our own In the long lonely night I'll hold to the fire That's burning so bright But we're not alone tonight So help me turn the tide Light up the flame of love And let it shine We're not alone tonight So help me turn the tide Light up the flame of love And let it shine Let it shine Let it shine |

Talk about a loser, I was just about to go When someone grabbed me by the arm, a man I did not know He said he'd been a drover, a member of the clan With runrig in his very soul and nowhere left to stand Now me I'm just a highland boy and cottar was my trade He'd seen me at Kildoanan when the black-face came to stay He'd oatcakes and he'd whisky and one foot in the grave For us it's over Bitter tears began to fall as whisky tore away the years From the straths and the braes Forever yesterday The royal George it was that brought the Countess to our door She wanted us to leave the hills for crofts upon the moor She took our piece of paradise and left us on the shore For us it's over Bitter tears began to fall as whisky tore away the years From the straths and the braes Forever yesterday They cleared the clans from Strathnavar, the heart of Sutherland They cleared us from our highland homes by ship to foreign glens There's Linton and there's Cheviot and red deer on the bens For us it's over, over, over, my friend |
