Oh Mother dear
What a night this has been I awoke in the light of a vision in white The prettiest girl that I have ever seen Lately my love, said the lady in white I have watched from afar, but love draws me near Now take my hand, hold tight, Mother dear Do you know what this could mean, Mother dear? Was it just another dream..... in the night? Mother dear, on that same silver night Saw a figure in black by the lady in white He said his name was death, was he right? Do you know what this could mean, Mother dear? Was it just another dream..... in the night? Do you know what this could mean, Mother dear? Was it just another dream..... in the night? Mother dear, what a night this has been It's so cold by your side, no don't cry, can't you see? Won't you listen to me please, Mother dear Was it just another dream, Mother dear? |

In corridors of air the clouds were waiting there
They knew that never again the skies would be so blue They took away the sun and with it took the fun It's true, and now there is really nothing I can do So I look outside my window at the sheets of pouring rain And I wonder if the sun will come again But the sun will never shine the way it used to do The clouds won't let it through Oh the sun will never shine its smile for me and you The clouds won't let it through It wasn't long ago the people that I knew were glad And nothing they ever thought about was sad But since the sun has gone their laughing times are none That's bad, to make them forget the happy times they've had So they look outside their window at the sheets of pouring rain And they wonder if the sun will come again But the sun will never shine the way it used to do The clouds won't let it through Oh the sun will never shine its smile for me and you The clouds won't let it through (Barclay James Harvest, ?Ardmore & Beechwood/EMI) |

When the world was woken
Save all unknowing eyes And thoughts that once were spoken Left only to despise And when the dawn is breaking Look upward to the sky If life is so hard to live Why not die? When the world has woken And shadows leave the air Then each spell will be broken For everyone who cares The day will then be endless The night will soon pass by If life is so hard to live Why not die? When the world has woken For all who see the sun And gentle words are spoken The dawning has begun Then man can live together With one triumphant cry If life is so hard to live Why not die? |

She walks on through the night
Her circumstances slight Are only helping her to fail And though she feels she's right She tries with all her might And makes the deepest peril pale Oh, but she is unreal Oh, but she doesn't feel Oh, but she is unreal She chooses who to love And then unlike a dove She takes the laughter from their smile She wears a velvet glove Her friends may find it rough It is a gauntlet all the while Oh, but she is unreal Oh, but she doesn't feel Oh, but she is unreal |

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 |

As I gaze on the dim glow of the evening sky Where every breath that I take becomes a vapour cloud That wraps itself around me to hide me from the crowd Then like a wall descending Night will the day be ending And it's if as though by magic Everything's become so tragic Become so tragic I turn and look behind me and all the crowd have gone And though they're all around me I feel I am alone The sounds of day have vanished and I find in their place There is an awesome silence, of life there is no trace Then like a wall descending Night will the day be ending And it's if as though by magic Everything's become so tragic Become so tragic The world outside my window slowly passes by As I gaze on the dim glow of the evening sky Where every breath that I take becomes a vapour cloud That wraps itself around me to hide me from the crowd Then like a wall descending Night will the day be ending And it's if as though by magic Everything's become so tragic Become so tragic |

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... |

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 |

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 |

I feel sorry for his wife and child at home I feel sorry for the bomber who all life and limb dishonours For the people that he's maimed and left alone The Lord God said love thy neighbour Though in human life he trades, he's still a man I feel sorry for the children who with open mind are willing To fight for ideals aged and past their time I feel sorry for the children who will join the vicious circle Of instinct fear bred from their parents' minds The Lord God said love thy neighbour Break the circle, free the hater, call him a friend Wake up, wake up, there's a man by your side With a knife and a gun in each hand Wake up, wake up, you're one and the same It's time to stop and decide Is it love or hate? Is it peace or war? It's for sure there's no inbetween Politicians point views But they're pointing for you The solution has to be seen I thought I saw a summer soldier, helmet on his brow His silver rifle clutched beneath his armour-plated shroud I fire in hate, he cried aloud To protect myself from defeat My shield's my cause, my cause is war And from war I'll make no retreat I dreamt I saw an angel bright, a halo on his brow His golden sword lay in its sheath beneath his silver shroud I drwa thee not, he cried aloud Though your deeds like spears strike my soul My shield's my love, my cause is peace Faith be sure I shall not retreat |

I cannot see you
For the sun is in my eyes I cannot hear you Everything you say just passes by What I'd give for just a smile Instead of drifting at A hundred thousand miles Can you hear me there below? All my lines have gone dead And I'm not very sure Can you hear me there below? 'Cause I'm coming down fast I can't make it alone Oh no no no... I cannot see you For the sun is in my eyes I cannot hear you Everything you say just passes by Here I stay until I'm found Insane in space and my world Is spinning round Can you hear me there below? All my lines have gone dead And I'm not very sure Can you hear me there below? 'Cause I'm coming down fast I can't make it alone |

In the shining sun
My images they run Confusing all I've done before I've begun And every city scene Becomes a roaring stream A nightmare and a dream rolled into one But when the city sleeps I'm up and on my feet Along the darkened streets Hear me run Through the empty town Running, laughing, down No-one else around ? to bother old me By factories I sway My shadows seem to play To do this in the day ? I'd never be free But when the city sleeps I'm up and on my feet Along the darkened streets Hear me run |

Didn't anybody see his hand move faster
Than the lightning in his eyes Oh! what a cold surprise the flying horses cried And didn't anybody want to ask the calliope To call the tune The flying horses crooned but did not know The Medicine Man sits on the stage Eats fire and water, earth and air while we all stare The silver blade burns bright And tells us to beware Of mirrored passages that throw a thousand images Of younger days The wheel spins slower as it calls us back to play Round and round now we go Shout your name to the wind As it spins by your side Coloured lights echo as the sound slips on by Could that have been me? |

There's something that I feel but can't explain People running round and round Putting one another down The joker laughs the joker cries He sees the world through weary eyes People running round and round Putting one another down Too many people, they don't know where they're going There are no haloes showing "Peace and love", just greed and hate It's not too late to see we're all the same The joker sees a better way But people laugh and turn away |

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 |

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 |

Will day turn black Will we ever see things right And how can we make it through the night? I'm like a train That's jumping the track Caught up in the slide And I'll never come back I turn around and look for a way Nothing that I can do Nothing that I can say What a life I was living before Hard to see If you can't find a door Seen the turning Know it's burning me To be with you I'm like a train That's jumping the track Caught up in the slide And I'll never come back I turn around and look for a way Nothing that I can do Nothing that I can say |

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 |

I have seen and I have heard
The story's all the same Running here and running there Your love is like a game Everytime I look for you You're walking in the clouds When I look into your eyes I see you looking down You've got something that I want You've got something that I need If there's a chance that I can see I will follow where you lead me High wire, walking on a high wire You're walkin' on a high wire You're walkin' tall But you know you're gonna fall someday I have seen and I have heard That you've been fooling me You could try to make me feel The way I used to be Is there any reason why You leave me on the shore? When I look into your eyes It makes me beg for more You've got something that I want You've got something that I need If there's a chance that I can see I will follow where you lead me High wire, walking on a high wire You're walkin' on a high wire You're walkin' tall But you know you're gonna fall from your... |

I get up early in the morning
It's up and out with the sun Spending my day making natural highs And in the evening when my work is done I make a phone call from the hotel Speak to my woman each day I tell my lady that I'm missing her And I hope she feels the same At least she knows that I'm not Sharing out our love With the midnight drug You spend your day in an in-joke Pouring your life in a glass of ice And no one's laughing but the monkey in you Paranoia for the highest price You make a phone call from the hotel Spending your life in the night The kind of women who don't come for free But then I guess they know you'll pay the price If they can keep you up They know you've got what turns them on The midnight drug How many times must we tell you Just how much we care You must know how we love you But we can't even meet half-way Well I've got something to tell you If you can only take it in I think you're worthy of a better cause If you can just stop looking for What you never get enough of The midnight drug Your kind of sugar is a sweet club I like my sugar in tea You spend your life going faster There's no surviving if you crash at speed Now, I'm not saying that I'm wrong or right But that the truth is plain to see I get my kicks from my friends and their love It's the kind of love that comes for free They're the kind of friends That you don't find when you go looking for They only pick you up then let you fall 'Till you come back for more Of the midnight drug |

Seems to me, the time has come
Party's over, you sit by the 'phone Through the daytime, you're gonna be all right But when the night time comes You're gonna be alone Even though your heart is breaking I see it in your eyes Even though there's no mistaking I see there's no disguise Waiting for the right time To call out your name Oh, the right time To see you again Oh, the right time To reach out and touch your face We said goodbye in the morning Streets were empty and pouring rain All the worries, all the bad times Will simply fly right out of here When I speak your name Even though your heart is breaking I see it in your eyes Even though there's no mistaking I see there's no disguise Waiting for the right time To call out your name Oh, the right time To see you again Oh, the right time To reach out and touch your face |

There's a beautiful sight You know they call it tomorrow It's the most beautiful sight That you'll ever see I know it's only a day away And it's always in the future But it's that something to look forward to That brings me closer to you Do you remember the time We said we'd love until forever 'Till all the stars in the sky Dropped one by one into the sea I know forever's just a day away And it's always in the future But it's that something to look forward to That brings me closer to you I know forever's just a day away And it's always in the future But it's that something to look forward to That brings me closer to you When we're together again We'll make love until the morning light We'll hold each other tight Until tomorrow comes I know it's only a day away But it's always in the future This time you know forever I'll stay Holding you closer to me Oh, I know it's just a day away And it's always in the future This time you know forever I'll stay Holding you closer to me |

Met an old friend the other day
Recognised from a different age Like a ghost in a photograph Distant memories of the past There was Nico and Limpopo Ipaminandas and young Nero All the old friends we've known so well With all the stories they'll never tell All it took was a photograph To bring the memories chasing back Of summer sunshine and cool green wine And all the good times we'd left behind We'd take the road down to Almansil If I had known then we'd be there still We left our hearts in the soft sea spray With every Quinta Do Lago day The wind in your hair The sun in your face The feeling of the power The beauty and grace Paraiso dos Cavalos Paraiso dos Cavalos Through our minds move the souls Of our bygone years As we ride through their ancient tears To a place to a time where We'd all be saved To gallop on in the breaking waves At Paraiso dos Cavalos Paraiso dos Cavalos |

Talk of tomorrow
And you talk of the times that have been The wheels keep on turning Turning circles we go round again Never ending the time is bending These songs all the same And we will stand listening Looking back on the ones that remain And time hurries on We are here, we are gone And time passes on All the words of your song Turn the pages Nothing ages That's what you will see Turn the pages Ring of changes Is what it will be The sun when it's rising Paints a shadow on where it has been And night is surprising To the people who stand in between Filling spaces you see their face As they wake from their dream And we will stand looking Taking note of the things we have seen And time hurries on We are here, we are gone And time passes on All the words of your song Turn the pages Nothing ages That's what you will see Turn the pages Ring of changes Is what it will be |

I have seen the streets and alleyways
Of a million faceless towns The camera comes, the camera goes Filming our blues for the late night news We gather round Never searching for our innocence Our faith, our truth, our love They're only there when things go wrong Filming our blues for the late night news We gather round Show us peace and understanding Brother love for fellow man Cure us, we are sick from violence In your sideshow of life Impartiality is like A coin they have to spend The currency of the chosen few They place their bets Switch on your sets There's world disasters by the minute They tell us on the hour And when we think we've paid our dues They've filmed our blues for the late night news We gather round Show us peace and understanding Brother love for fellow man Cure us, we are sick from violence In your sideshow of life Sideshow of life When it's late at night and you're all alone With the one you love Turn on the late night news and cry Tears for all the lost and lonely people Innocents in prime time (Tragedies) of our life (Tragedies) of our life (Tragedies) of our life |

There's a girl that lives in the shadows
Of the street where the music plays There she waits and looks from the outside There's an angel in her face But from her glass she sips a little comfort From the boys she takes a little more And she knows just how far she can take it In a moment she's out on the floor Hold on - she's got to keep a-moving Hold on - dance with the light Hold on - got to keep a-moving Hold on - into the night In her eyes they thought they saw a question Maybe she is looking their way As the night gets older are they wiser? Who will take her? - no-one can say Does she know just how they feel about her? Can't she see she's driving them insane? When the music starts playing again They're saying... Hold on - she's got to keep a-moving Hold on - dance with the light Hold on - got to keep a-moving Hold on - into the night |

They say that hell hath no fury
A fact that I can't deny I see the victims of circumstance Convicted without a crime Call it aggressive behaviour Call it the need to be free Call it the cry of the innocent That no-one can believe Rebel, rebel woman, I know you well Rebel, rebel woman, I know you well They say there's truth in the old truths No reason to cheat or lie We're caught in the crossfire Convicted without a trial This mother's scorn is a strange thing She pays her children for love She heeds the cry of their innocence They pay her with their blood Rebel, rebel woman, I know you well Rebel, rebel woman, I know you well They say that hell hath no fury A fact that I can't deny I see the victims of circumstance Convicted without a crime Another plane in the ocean Another wall in the sky The victims of circumstance Convicted without a trial Rebel, rebel woman, I know you well Rebel, rebel woman, I know you well |

Dreams and castles
We build them constantly Who will see what we've done before? Thoughts that follow me Fools of destiny This is what we've become Say you'll stay with me I just want to be Here with you Say you'll stay with me I just want to be here Taking chances with Time that passes us Who can tell what will be? Words that call to me Eyes that try to see Make it all mystery Say you'll stay with me I just want to be Here with you Say you'll stay with me I just want to be here Can you hear those little people Tell me what to do? They cannot see there's no tomorrow But for me and you Say you'll stay with me I just want to be here... |

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 |

Saw the paper the other day
Started to read Seems they've got a new way Of fighting all their wars Just what we need When will you stop playing all your games? Won't you listen when we say I don't remember anyone asking me about it Or don't we matter anyway? Victims of circumstance that's what we are Hidden from light so we can't see Victims of circumstance that's what we are You and me, you and me Those mistakes that you all made in the past You never seem to see Do you have to bring your ships across the water? Please let us be Master, master, I really want to live! Do we always have to plead? Looks like you've put us in the frontline once again Won't you stop this insanity? Victims of circumstance that's what we are Hidden from light so we can't see Victims of circumstance that's what we are You and me, you and me |

Flashing lights in the club
Memories of our wild affair The first night we met I just can't forget Flashing lights, I was cool What a fool, didn't realise I just threw the dice With my baby's life Talk about a dream, I'll talk about an angel in white Making all my wildest dreams come true I remember driving wild She was laughing by my side One small mistake, too late to change Now I live inside my nightmare Flashing lights in the night Memories of the girl I loved I still feel her touch I never loved so much Flashing lights in the night Memories of the cold despair Just like a man insane My tears fall like rain Talk about a dream, I'll talk about an angel in white Making all my wildest dreams come true I remember driving wild She was laughing by my side One small mistake, too late to change Now I live inside my nightmare I was flash, driving fast through the night Never saw the sign Bad road, bad bend I never felt the end Flashing lights brought me back But they left my baby there Those blue, blue lights In my blue, blue nights Talk about a dream, I'll talk about an angel in white Making all my wildest dreams come true Talk about a fool, you're looking at the man she loved Who'll never find another girl like you I remember driving wild She was laughing by my side One small mistake, too late to change Now I live inside my nightmare |

Try to see it from the other side
Keep on looking for a place to hide You don't have to tell me It's easy to find If you're trying to make your dreams come true Then just keep on doing what you do And if you don't break the rules It's going to be fine So I'm just sitting here Watching for the dawn to break Just sitting here Waiting for the time it takes I'm sitting here Searching for a clue - watching you Here, this is me I'm living my life through the night constantly Or so I've been told Hope I can make it before I grow old With love on my side I could write you a song that would make your heart fly So good for your soul But there's something about you That's leaving me cold So I'm just sitting here Watching for the dawn to break Just sitting here Waiting for the time it takes I'm sitting here Searching for a clue - watching you |

And though I think of you tonight
I cannot hope to hold you tight But I've got this feeling in my heart And when tomorrow I'll be gone How can I hope to carry on? I've got a feeling in my heart I can no longer see What's making things go wrong You've stayed away before It always seems so long But wherever you go Whatever you do You know I'll always be with you 'Cause I've got this feeling deep in my heart I can no longer see What's making things go wrong You've stayed away before It always seems so long But wherever you go Whatever you do You know I'll always be with you 'Cause I've got this feeling deep in my heart Baby, you're in my heart |

Love like a burning fire
Creeping up on you Watch as the flame grows higher Can you see it through? Don't you know the die is cast? Got to keep on running faster than time And you're riding high above Are you gonna lay your love on the line? Out where the light is burning There's a heart that's true Sounds of the night returning Put a spell on you Don't you know the die is cast? Got to keep on running faster than time And you're riding high above Are you gonna lay your love on the line? |

The day begins Riding a rainbow Bow in her hand To drive away The night again Nothing has changed And all around People are waking King of them all Has gone to rest He passed the test Leaving the stage Time goes sailing on Slowly the crowd will appear And into their ears The song they'd love to sing forever Tomorrows come, Tonight lives on for years The time has come Follow the spotlight Lighting the scene Another world The flags unfurled Into the sky And in the air Music is playing Ingots of gold Fall to the ground Creating sound Into the night Time goes sailing on Into the light disappears And still in the ears The song they'd love to sing forever Tomorrows come, Tonight lives on for years |

In the light of the night
Trying hard to forget All the cries and the lies Of the people she met Hypnotized by the sight That you're seeing and yet Can't disguise in her eyes There's a look of regret So she drifts into tomorrow Maybe she can find a better way To love and see her sorrow Vanish in the haze Rock 'n' roll lady, keep on trying Like the sand that is washed on the shore Don't believe all the tears and the crying She's running back for more In the bars where the stars Drink tequila and wine Loud guitars, fancy cars And the feeling is fine See her face every place Every movement in time But don't choose or a loser you'll be When she throws you her line And she drifts into tomorrow Maybe she can find a better way To love and see her sorrow Vanish in the haze Rock 'n' roll lady, keep on trying Like the sand that is washed on the shore Don't believe all the tears and the crying She's running back for more |

Man of war Honour bright The long midnight In the hour before You lose your head The thief will paint The sunlight red Sunlight red Deep blue sea Witnessed by Flocks of ships As they sail by In a tower of strength The sabre frail Will take the brig And raise the sail Caged until tame Go-between is the name Scaring death to the strains of their crying Here lies the tale Of escapists who sail With assassins who kill for the morning Don't paint the sunlight It's virgin bright Don't paint the sunlight Wait 'til the morning light Capricorn Man of war Honour bright The long midnight In the hour before You lose your head The thief will paint The sunlight red Sunlight red Caged until tame Go-between is the name Scaring death to the strains of their crying Here lies the tale Of escapists who sail With assassins who kill for the morning Don't paint the sunlight It's virgin bright The long midnight In the hour before You lose your head The thief will pain The sunlight red |

You light up my flame, then you drive me insane There ain't nothing that you cannot do Then you grab for my heart, you just tear it apart As I shoot all my love into you: Lovin' is easy with both eyes closed You know that's the best way to feel it Lovin' is easy with both eyes closed Just get a hold and watch how it grows. Now even the bad times are good when you're round Darlin', you kiss away all my blues. Even the hard times are easy to face 'Cause I know that your love will come through.

Came to your border
Looking back into the night Falling down on the city lights far away Tell me the answer Who knows the wrong from the right? 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 |

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. |
