Les Holroyd

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

Valley's deep and the mountain's so high
If you want to see God you've got to move on the other side
You stand up there with your head in the clouds
Don't try to fly you know you might not come down
Don't try to fly, dear God, you might not come down

Jesus came down from Heaven to earth
The people said it was a virgin birth
Jesus came down from Heaven to earth
The people said it was a virgin birth

He told great stories of the Lord
And said he was the saviour of us all
He told great stories of the Lord
And said he was the saviour of us all

For this they/we killed him, nailed him up high
He rose again as if to ask us why
Then he ascended into the sky
As if to say in God alone you soar
As if to say in God alone we fly.

Valley's deep and the mountain's so high
If you want to see God you've got to move on the other side
You stand up there with your head in the clouds
Don't try to fly you know you might not come down
Don't try to fly, dear God, you might not come down

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.
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.
You light up my soul, and then fill up the whole
Of your being, your love, your desire
Then you grab for my heart you just tear it apart
As I shoot all my love in your fire
Lovin' is easy

Rain, sea, surf, sand, clouds and sky
Hush now baby, don't you cry
There's a mocking bird
Singing songs in the trees
There's a mocking bird
Singing songs
Just for you and me
Rain, sea, surf, sand, clouds and sky
Time will see your tears run dry
There's a mocking bird
Singing songs in the trees
There's a mocking bird
Singing songs
Just for you and me

Rain, sea, surf, sand, clouds and sun
Bless the tears of love now gone
There's a mocking bird
Singing songs in the trees
There's a mocking bird
Singing songs
Singing just for me...

The long and winding road that leads to your door
Here comes the sun it's alright people shout for more
But were you trying to deceive telling me
All you need is love to succeed
Across the universe one after nine 'o' nine
I got a feeling for you blue and I feel fine
I tried so hard to make believe that I'd see
All you need is love to succeed

CHORUS:

Lady Madonna let it be
Something in the way you moved me yesterday
All you need is love so they say

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.

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

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 give up my world
And giving it up, it ain't easy
I give up my life
And giving it up, it ain't easy
I give up everything I have
Even give this heart of mine
I would give up my soul
Giving it all for you
I give up my time
And giving it up, it ain't easy
I've made up my mind
And making it up, it ain't easy
Give up everything I have
Think about this heart of mine?
I would give up my soul
Giving it all for you

To our fore the harbour lights
Shining out like beacons burning
They can stop this endless night
They can stop the wheels from turning

Faces in a setting sun
Say again that we soon will be one

Starlight rakes the silver wing
Bringing home its sons and daughters
No-one knows the state I'm in
Spinning swift above the waters

Faces in a setting sun
Say again that we soon will be one

THE BOY
I was cast adrift, without a hope
My only friend is my old boat
With an empty sea and an open sky
A void no man can justify
THE OLD MAN
Your sacrifices will ensure
A port of refuge ever more
Lost and drowned
We'll wait 'til England's found
Again

THE BOY
I was torn between what was good and right
And those who told me when to fight
So they left me here and they sailed away
To sink or swim 'til Judgement Day

THE OLD MAN
Your sacrifices will ensure
A port of refuge ever more
Lost and drowned
We'll wait 'til England's found
Again

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.
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.
You light up my soul, and then fill up the whole
Of your being, your love, your desire
Then you grab for my heart you just tear it apart
As I shoot all my love in your fire
Lovin' is easy

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.
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.
You light up my soul, and then fill up the whole
Of your being, your love, your desire
Then you grab for my heart you just tear it apart
As I shoot all my love in your fire
Lovin' is easy

On the road and I'm feeling low
Got a ticket for my way back home
I start to feel like a rolling stone
Without company
Down in the bar talking to the trees
I found a lady hanging on my sleeve
I said, "I thank you but I have to leave"
She said, "Stay with me, I need company...
Take a sip of my wine
It's gonna make you feel fine
Come tomorrow, leave it all behind."

I didn't see a warning sign
I held her breath and she was holding mine!
I think I'll be here for a long, long time
If you stay with me, got to be
Take a sip of my wine
It's gonna make you feel fine
Come tomorrow, leave it all behind."

Born a poor worker's son
Taught to fight for all his rights
Life for him's just begun
Union might his leading light.
It's a shame and it's a sin
They don't know the mood they're in
Until they strike for what is right
Not what has been.
Shop floor, that's where he's at
Back to back, bring out the rack
Squeeze them 'til they react
Wield the gun; see how they run.
It's a shame and it's a sin
They don't know the mood they're in
Until they strike for what is right
Not what has been.


All out of freedom, all out for more
Show them we mean it, tell them the score
Brother for brother, that's what we're for
Don't give us reasons
Our reasons has gone out the door.
Born a poor worker's son

On a cold misty night
On the corner of Haight
She stood with a Colt forty-five.
The gun in her hand
Awaiting her man
A victim to take by surprise.
She's the Golden Gate Park killer
She's the scourge of Frisco Bay
Where she got herself beat up
And left for dead
By a man she felt true love for
But who left her out of hand.
Now she's out to take revenge on every man
As she stands there with a pistol in her hand.
The victim arrives
She looks in his eyes


He goes for the gun in her hand.
Karl Malden was great. (unlike the film, though)
But just a bit late. (this was the real show)
And got it right between the eyes.
She's the Golden Gate Park killer
She's the scourge of Frisco Bay
Where she got herself beat up
And left for dead
By a man she felt true love for
But who left her out of hand.
Now she's out to take revenge on every man
As she stands there with a pistol in her hand.
Repeat Chorus.

How come you happened to be hanging around
When I was looking for a good time?
I thought I always had my feet on the ground
I've got the feeling that it won't be for long
Take it easy, you're moving too fast
You're gonna make it, but let's make it last
The way you're dancing ain't good for my soul
The situation's getting out of control

(You've got me)
Turning in circles
Where do I go?
Turning in circles
Crazy I know

How come you happened to be hanging around
When I was looking for a good time?
I thought I always had my feet on the ground
I've got the feeling that I'm spinning and spinning
(You've got me)
Turning in circles
Where do I go?
Turning in circles
Crazy I know

How come you happened to be hanging around
When I was looking for a good time?
I thought I always had my feet on the ground
I've got the feeling that it won't be for long
Take it easy, you're moving too fast
You're gonna make it, but let's make it last
The way you're dancing ain't good for my soul
The situation's getting out of control

(You've got me)
Turning in circles
Where do I go?
Turning in circles
Crazy I know

How come you happened to be hanging around
When I was looking for a good time?
I thought I always had my feet on the ground
I've got the feeling that I'm spinning and spinning
(You've got me)
Turning in circles
Where do I go?
Turning in circles
Crazy I know

Just a picture
Taken back in '65
We were young then
It seems so long ago
Play it one time
Spirit of the '70s
Live forever
Lead me on

Oh those crazy nights
We'd spend our lives
Living in a rock 'n' roll dream
Oh those days are gone
Time moving on
Make me feel that I want to be
Back in the game again
(Take me where the music's playing
Where there's no tomorrow
High upon those summer nights
If I could be) Back in the game

Vision of the past
Re-awake the heartbeat of
A generation, we thought
The years had lost

Oh those crazy nights
We'd spend our lives
Living in a rock 'n' roll dream

Oh those days are gone
Time moving on
Make me feel that I want to be
Back in the game again
Take me where the music's playing
Where there's no tomorrow
High upon those summer nights if
I could be) Back in the game again

He was born on easy streets
Played so hard his feet they
never touched the ground
Never felt afraid
Hour after shining hour
No thought of time no parents worrying
Innocent of fear

Now my, my, look at that sky
Closing his eyes on a new tomorrow
Hey, hey, Heaven's in tears
Crying for the disappeared


She grew up on easy streets
Danced so hard her feet they
never touched the ground
Love was all around
No locks on their front door
She'd stay out late and
they'd know she was safe
No need to beware


Now my, my, look at that sky
Closing his eyes on a new tomorrow
Hey, hey, Heaven's in tears
Crying for the disappeared
My my look at that sky
Turning his back on a generation
Hey, hey, Heaven's in flames
And no one wants to take the blame
Blame for children of the disappeared


Chant:
Bleeding, crying, children, dying
My, my, look at that sky
Turning his back on a new tomorrow


Spoken:
Their life with never be the same
For children who disappear
and parents who live in fear


No more the easy streets
No sound of children's footsteps on the ground
Fear lies all around
No more the unlocked door
No more the children laughing as they play
Nowhere left that's safe


Now my, my, look at that sky
Closing his eyes on a new tomorrow
Hey, hey, Heaven's in tears
Crying for the disappeared
My, my, look at that sky
Turning his back on a generation
Hey, hey, Heaven's in flames
and no one wants to take the blame
Blame for children of the disappeared

I know that you think I'm the lonely one
Those black clouds always follow me
No silver lining there for you to find
No star-struck prince on bended knee

And every day you're searching hard
For something you can't find
Broken dreams and promises
The feelings you can't hide
You fool yourself there's nothing wrong
'Cause truth is on your side


I'll take your truth and give you back a lie
My secret lives in your deceit
Innocence crumbles in the face of your greed
That's why they call me Mr. E


And every day you're searching hard
For something you can't find
A hollow-hearted love that pays
With pictures for the blind
My vision is a window to the
Bottom of your soul
This blindness is the way you feel
About yourself and no one else


Let me take you down to the river side
Hold your hand and lead you in
I can take you down to the river side
But only you can swim


I know no magic forest in this part of town
No mystic rainbow's end, no gold for free
The colours lift you up I push you down
That's why they call me Mr. E


And every day you're searching hard
For something you can't find
The pomise lies in endless dreams
A nightmare's what you find
My promise is a window to
The bottom of your soul
This nightmare is the way you feel
About yourself and no one else


Let me take you down to the river side
Hold your hand and lead, lead you in.
I can take you down to the river side
But only you can swim


Let me take you down, down to the river side
Hold your hand and lead you in
I can take you down to the river side
But only you can swim

When I was a young man
Money was my hero
Something to believe in
Something to be seen
Now looking at the big lie
Looking back on my life
I'm adding up the zeros
In the book of might have been

When I was a young man
I was someone? hero
Someone to be seen with
Someone to believe

Now looking at the big lie
Looking back on my life
All that dirty water
In the river of my dreams

All that dirty water in my dreams

When I was a young man
Being cool came easy
Playing in the big lights
Trouble came for free

Now looking at the big lie
Looking back on my life
Trying to find the good seed
Now I? down here in the weeds

All that dirty water in my dreams
All that dirty water in my dreams

When I was a young man
Music was my saviour
Took me to the fast lane
Answered all my needs

Now looking at the big lie
Looking back on my life
All it did was show me
All the things that might have been

All that dirty water in my dreams
All that dirty water in my dreams
All that dirty water in my dreams
All that dirty water in my dreams

And so the time has come
To fight for right or wrong
There is no-one
To save us from ourselves
Along the travelled road
A story will unfold
Of fantasies
Born in the age of innocence

I can see the rain begin to fall
Watch as the wind blows
Can you hear those voices when they call
Yesterday? heroes

A game of consequence
We have to take the chance
And do our best
To keep the past alive

Soon we will return
A lesson to be learned
By those who try
To keep the flame from burning

I can see the rain begin to fall
Watch as the wind blows
Can you hear those voices when they call
Yesterday? heroes
Yesterday? heroes
Yesterday? heroes

Here we're helplessly
Searching for truth
Is it me, is it you?
Will our lives just crumble away?

I can see the rain begin to fall
Watch as the wind blows
Can you hear those voices when they call
Yesterday? heroes
Yesterday? heroes
Yesterday? heroes

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've been so sad since you went away
I've been so lost without you
I wanted to be there
I wanted to hold on and tell you
How much, how much I loved you
I never thought that this day would come
Never dreamed we'd have to part
And now that you're gone and there's only memories
It's left such a hole, hole in my heart

Whenever skies are cloudy and the raindrops fall
I pray that you'll be waiting to catch me when I fall
So many words that were left unsaid
So many things still to share
Amd through all the tears and all of the memories
I hope that you know how much I cared

If I could have you back I wouldn't waste a minute
A lifetime wasn't long enough, I needed you for ever
The love of a father, the friendship of a brother
You took a piece of me with you and it will never be returned
Until we meet again and things will be the same

Whenever skies are cloudy and the raindrops fall
I pray that you'll be waiting to catch me when I fall
I've been so sad since you went away
I've been so lost without you
I wanted to be there
I wanted to hold on and tell you
How much, how much I loved you

I never thought that this day would come
Never dreamed we'd have to part
And now that you're gone and there's only memories
It's left such a hole, hole in my heart

If I could have you back again I wouldn't waste a minute
A lifetime wasn't long enough, I needed you for ever

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

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

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

On the road to nowhere, heading for Mallaig
I can feel the wild west highland breeze
Drive all my fears away
Through the raging Sound of Sleat
Safe on Spanish John
I can't wait for heaven's gate
It's paradise I'm looking on
Sky, nothing but blue sky all around
Sky, nothing but blue sky
Feel the silence calling all around
All around
Eagle high on Ladhar Bheinn
Heaven and hell beneath
Kinloch Hourn's where hell is born
And Nevis where the angels meet
Knoydart mends a broken heart
Heals a tortured soul
Brings new life to tired minds
And brightens eyes that look upon
Sky, nothing but blue sky all around
Sky, nothing but blue sky
Feel the silence calling all around
All around
Inverie, oh Inverie, ancient hearts of old
Ugly bastards one and all
We'll gather just to look upon
Sky, nothing but blue sky all around
Sky, nothing but blue sky
Feel the silence calling all around
All around
Sky, nothing but blue sky all around
Sky, nothing but blue sky
Feel the silence calling
Hear the silence calling
Feel the silence calling
All around
All around

With these arms I'll hold you
Let my love enfold you
Please don't cry
Night and day forever
Rain, sea, surf, sand, clouds then sun will shine
Born in the spirit of love
You took flight
Soaring so high and so free
No-one can stop you
You'll always be heard
Our hearts know the truth

In pools of blue I found you
Let my love surround you
Gave you life
From that day forever
Rain, sea, surf, sand, clouds then sun will shine

Born in the spirit of love
You took flight
Soaring so high and so free
No-one can stop you
You'll always be heard
Our hearts know the truth

Born in the spirit of love
You took flight
Soaring so high and so free
No-one can stop you
You'll always be heard
They'll never kill the mockingbird
She'll fly free

Did we take away the daylight from our life?
Dreams are over, faded with the night
We've been here so long, didn't we see the way
Love grown cold as ice melted with the rain
After all these years
Can't believe it's true
Is it really over
After all that we've been through?
I need you here
To take away the pain
I just want to be with you again
Did you see the way
We broke the things we made
Gone forever, never be the same
Torn away on "silver wings"
Love like lightning ended in the rain
After all this time
You're still the only one
Can't be over, all we've said and done
I need you back
To take away the pain
I just want to be with you again
I need you back
To take away the pain
I just want to be with you again

Super mean machine
Taking over all the kids you've ever seen
Locked into the screen
Jabbing at the buttons like they're in a dream
Don't want a Mega drive
Just give me spud-u-like
And lots of records that'll make me scream
Give me the radio playing all the songs I know
Don't want no Gameboy just a rock and roll
Oh a oh give me a radio
Don't want a Gameboy just rock and roll
Oh a oh give me a radio
Don't want a system that ain't got no soul
Virtual reality taking over grown ups like you've never seen
Locked into the screen
Simulated mass-destruction oh so clean
Don't want a Mega drive
Just give me spud-u-like
And lots of records that'll make me scream
Give me the radio playing all the songs I know
Don't want no Gameboy just a rock and roll
Oh a oh give me a radio
Don't want a Gameboy just rock and roll
Oh a oh give me a radio
Don't want a system that's not rock and roll
Oh a oh give me a radio
Don't want a Gameboy just rock and roll
Oh a oh give me a radio
Don't want a system that ain't got no soul
Kids grow up to be
Simulation junkies when the game's for real
Don't want no C.T.V. when they're pushing all the buttons
And the game's for free
Don't give me a Mega drive
Just give me spud-u-like
And lots of music that'll make me scream
No mean machine in my dreams
I need you, radio
I want you, radio
I need you, radio
I want you for the things you do
No more Gameboy just want rock and roll
No more Top Gun just want rock and roll
No more smart bombs just want rock and roll
No more Gameboy just want rock and roll
Oh a oh give me a radio
Do

All lovers in the night
Look up and see the dawn
Reach out into the light
Before you travel on
All you have to do is smile for me
Lonely days will disappear
All lovers of the world
We thought we had it all
Reach out and touch someone
Across the great unknown
All you have to do is smile for me
Lonely nights will disappear
Promises are soon forgotten
Watch them falling one by one
Nothing stays the same forever
See the years go on and on they fly
We'll wait for the day
Changing our ways
All over the world
Reach out for someone
All over the world
All you have to do is smile for me
Lonely nights will disappear
All of my life
Lovers of the world...

All around we're caught in the light of a thousand suns
Riding the wind of eternal years
Watching the Earth die before our eyes
Hearing the world crying in our ears
We kill the trees, now there isn't any rainfall
And there's burning sand where the cornfields were before
We poison seas, pouring oil on troubled waters
And the air we breathe doesn't taste good any more
We kill the land 'till there isn't any food to eat
And we fire our guns and we're fighting all our wars
See the children die like a movie on the silver screen
Now the air we breathe doesn't taste good any more
Too bad, look at your life
We are sinking in the water
Turn back, look at the time
Cast adrift on the open sea
Once more into the night
Nothing left for your sons and your daughters
We're on our ship called Earth for all eternity
Too bad, look at your life
We are sinking in the water
Turn back, look at the time
Cast adrift on the open sea
Once more into the night
Nothing left for your sons and your daughters
We're on our ship called Earth for all eternity
All around we're travelling the universe
Do we believe there's someone watching over us
Can we be sure?
Who do we think we are?
(We are the chosen people
We are the chosen ones)
All around we're travelling the universe
Do we believe there's someone watching over us
Can we be sure?
Who do we think we are?

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

The streets run red with the blood of the innocent
Why, why, why?
We stab our knives in the back of humanity
Why, why, why?
There's never peace just a spiral of violence
Why, why, why?
We'll shoot you down for a difference of opinion
Why, why, why?
Cheap the bullet, easy the gun
Sons and daughters, lost and gone
Cheap the bullet, easy the gun
No talk, no thought, just shoot and run

Our children wake to the bomb and the bodysearch
Why, why, why?
We fill their ears with the drums and the battle cries
Why, why, why?
They burn your car when you stray it's a game they play
Why, why, why?
They're fed on hate it's a circle we don't want to break
Why, why, why?

Cheap the bullet, easy the gun
Sons and daughters, lost and gone
Cheap the bullet, easy the gun
No talk, no thought, just shoot and run

I'm baptised in your prejudice
I'm confirmed with your hate
I'm ordained into violence
I'm a child of the modern world
Of the media world
Of the TV world
Of the modern world

Cheap the bullet, easy the gun
Sons and daughters, lost and gone
Cheap the bullet, easy the gun
No talk, no thought, just shoot and run

You - got to sing a new song
'Cause the way that we're going
Is far too long
Alone, when you can't hear a sound
And you're halfway to freedom
It can't be found
But we've got the love
And the feeling's strong
And we're going on
And we can't go wrong
Halfway to freedom
Sing out the word
Tables are turning
We're learning
Our voice can be heard
Towers are falling
See how they burn
Hope for each other
Our brothers
All over the world

Love like a cry in the night
We reach out for each other
Peace to find
Hear, when the bells start to chime
And you're halfway to freedom
It's hard to find

Halfway to freedom
Sing out the word
Tables are turning
We're learning
Our voice can be heard
Towers are falling
See how they burn
Hope for each other
Our brothers
All over the world

A blind man in the night
Looking for a way down
Prophet of an unknown
Just looking for a way home
A rich man taking fright
Looking for the lowdown
Guru of the jet set
Just looking for a safe bet
If love is king, who wears the crown?
If music be the food of love
Then someone ate the crown

A no count in the light
Looking for a way out
Saviour of the closed door
Just looking for a cool floor
And you're out feeling great
Shooting for a high break
Prisoner of the real king
Just looking for a sure thing

If love is king, who wears the crown?
If music be the food of love
If love is king, who wears the crown?
If music be the food of love
Then someone ate the crown

Back in the autumn of seventy
On the night shift at Abbey Road
Four young men were recording a song named "Galadriel"
For an album they'd call Once Again
The producer was Norman Smith
Who'd engineered with The Beatles and John
Whose guitar was to be instrumental that day
When I came to play
I remember it well, as if it was yesterday
The day that I played John Lennon's guitar
I remember it well, as if it was yesterday
The day that I played John Lennon's guitar

Back in the autumn of seventy
As I played on my borrowed guitar
How could I know The Beatles would split the next day
My heroes break up and go their own way

Now autumns they came and they go
But my friends and my memories remain
And my heroes, well some of them fell from the stage
But their light still remains

I remember it well, as if it was yesterday
The day that I played John Lennon's guitar
I remember it well, as if it was yesterday
The day that I played John Lennon's guitar

I remember the day
I remember the day
I remember the day
I remember the day
The day that I played John Lennon's guitar
I remember the day, as if it was yesterday
And I know that the memories will never fade
I remember the day, as if it was yesterday
The day that I played John Lennon's guitar

Like a jester dressed
In a silly gown
Something evil came to town
At the darkest hour
In the dead of night
All who'd listen gathered round
From the uninspired
From the tortured sounds
No one noticed what she'd done
By the pricking of my thumbs
Something wicked this way comes
Like a fool possessed
Evil grabbed the blade
Dripping blood upon the keys
With her cheap disguise
No-one realised
How this jester could deceive
From the uninspired
From the tortured sounds
No one noticed what she'd done
By the pricking of my thumbs
Something wicked this way comes

From the uninspired
From the tortured sounds
No one noticed what she'd done
Time knows the truth
And her lies linger on
By the pricking of my thumbs
Something wicked this way comes
By the pricking of my thumbs
Something wicked this way comes
This way comes
This way comes

Hush now children
Don't you worry
Lots of young ones
Singing Mahler
Lies so deady
Wrapped in sugar candy

Lost generations out of place
Hidden from our eyes
Your beauty, your grace
Lovely visions from before our birth
And the pictures say origin Earth
I never lost my heart to anyone
But I lost my heart today
And now your secret's ours
We've got to try
Somehow we must find a way

Dreams, fields of green and blue, blue sky
Rivers of gold and mountains so high
Visions haunt now like an ancient curse
And the pictures say origin Earth

I never lost my heart to anyone
But I lost my heart today
And now your secret's ours
We've got to try
Look for the sun star, no matter how far
Somehow, we'll find a way
Somehow, we'll find a way
Somehow, we'll find a way
To go home

Star bright, your light
Guiding us back to a new tomorrow
Star bright, your light
Bringing us peace and an end to sorrow

My Little Red Book, Day Tripper, UFO Club
Pink Floyd, Soft Machine
Talk about a heavy scene
I'm a psychedelic child
Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, flower power, oki poki
Bells and beads, bell-bottom jeans
Talk about a heavy scene
I'm a psychedelic child

Talk about love
And the power of a rock and roll dream
Talk about love
On a bad trip, hear my scream
I'm a psychedelic child

Exotic eastern mysticism, Vietnam and kaftans
The Grateful Dead, The Charlatans
Heavy scene, so heavy man
I'm a psychedelic child
Ballad Of A Thin Man looking for a Crawdaddy
Hippy shit and LSD
Talk about a heavy scene
I'm a psychedelic child


Talk about love
And the power of a rock and roll dream
Talk about love
On a bad trip, hear my scream
I'm a psychedelic child

Talk about love
And the power of a rock and roll dream
Talk about love
On a bad trip, hear my scream
I'm a psychedelic child

See the river deep and wide
Could be free on the other side
Oh, cross the water
When the gun and the knife have gone
Who'll be here when tomorrow comes
Oh, living in fear
Sunrise, sunset, sunrise
Over the rainbow they fly
Shadows on the sky

Hear the sound that fills the skies
Killer man with dollar eyes
Oh, bringing disaster
You can stand, you can run
When you hear the sound of a gun
Moving closer

Sunrise, sunset, sunrise
Over the rainbow they fly
Shadows on the sky

And as far as the eye can see
Black as night is the cloud you're under
There's a chance that it cannot be
Hear the cries like the rolling thunder

Sunrise, sunset, sunrise
Over the rainbow they fly
Shadows on the sky

There's a life that burns
When the night has come
Makes me understand
You're the one I see
And I can't say no
Take me by the hand
Can't believe that you want it to be
Just the game and we're playing the parts
Such a feeling, it won't let me be
Like an arrow that's straight for the heart
'Cause the one you want
Is the one you lose
That's what people say
And the life you lead
Is the one you choose
Help me on the way

Tell me why you fill up my life this way
Take me high, together we'll fly away

Can't believe that you want it to be
Just a game and we're playing the parts
Such a feeling, it won't let me be
Like an arrow that's straight for the heart
'Cause the one you want
We need someone
Is the one you lose
Help us along
That's what people say
Too many people can't find a way
And the life you lead
We need someone
Is the one you choose
To carry on
Help me on the way
Helping us on the way

We can't all be right
We can't all be wrong
It's a long journey
We travel on
Gypsies of the night
Riders of the storm
Though it's heartbreaking
We must go on
Wrong place
Wrong face
Somewhere on the road
Keep playing
And saying
Welcome to the show

Those who laugh the first
Must cry later they say
As the stage curtain
Brings on the girls
And they surely do well
For the politicians who sell them
On TV today
Makes me uncertain
Of who runs the world

Wrong place
Wrong face
Somewhere on the road
Keep playing
And saying
Welcome to the show

My friends, all the trends that have gone
Are as one in the minds of today
With their eyes open they can't see the signs
And the moment belongs to the video songs
Leading nowhere at all
And the fools talking, the blind lead the blind

Wrong place
Wrong face
Somewhere on the road
Keep playing
And saying
Welcome to the show

We started something
Now we can't get away from it all

When you're all alone
And the dreams are waiting at your door
By the telephone
No-one to talk to any more
Where did we go wrong
Waited far too long

When you're worlds apart
All feelings seem to disappear
And the night is dark
You used to make it all so clear

Where did we go wrong
Waited far too long

Where do we go
And where is the love you once gave me?
I want to know
Where is my life, can't you save me?
Oh, I thought you were a woman of love
Oh, we could have been in heaven above

Where did we go wrong
Waited far too long

Where do we go
And where is the love you once gave me?
I want to know
Where is my life, can't you save me?

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

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...

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

There once was a man
Who was born to be king
He changed all our lives
And he made my heart sing
He turned water into wine
And called his fishermen
He cured the sick
The lame could walk
The blind could see again
He told us of the shepherds
And the flowers in the field
The story of the farmer's seed
And the harvest it would yield
He told us of two houses
And the man who lost his son
Of two men in the temple
And the Good Samaritan

Love
Only love's gonna take you higher
Love
Only love's gonna carry you home


He healed the soldier's servant
He calmed the raging sea
He shared five loaves and two small fish
And five thousand he did feed
He told the rich men share your wealth
He cured the ten sick men
He raised a friend called Lazarus
And made him whole again

He said love
Only love's gonna take you higher
Love
Only love's gonna carry you home


He taught the children how to pray
The children he did bless
And Mary came with perfume
Before his feet she wept
He gave us bread - his body
He gave us wine - his blood
He asked us all to live in peace
And nothing do but good
Now one friend did betray him
Another did deny
With arms outstretched he died
So all of mankind could survive

There once was a man
Who was born to be king
He'll change all your lives
If you'll just let him in

He said love
Only love's gonna take you higher
Love
Only love's gonna carry you home


Love and understanding carries you home

Love
Only love's gonna take you higher
Higher and higher
He said love
Only love's gonna carry you home
Love...

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

Valley's deep and the mountain's so high
If you want to see God you've got to move on the other side
You stand up there with your head in the clouds
Don't try to fly you know you might not come down
Don't try to fly, dear God, you might not come down

Jesus came down from Heaven to earth
The people said it was a virgin birth
Jesus came down from Heaven to earth
The people said it was a virgin birth

He told great stories of the Lord
And said he was the saviour of us all
He told great stories of the Lord
And said he was the saviour of us all

For this they/we killed him, nailed him up high
He rose again as if to ask us why
Then he ascended into the sky
As if to say in God alone you soar
As if to say in God alone we fly.

Valley's deep and the mountain's so high
If you want to see God you've got to move on the other side
You stand up there with your head in the clouds
Don't try to fly you know you might not come down
Don't try to fly, dear God, you might not come down

My friends it's not what you were famous for
But now the whole world's watching you
If we could help you then you know we would
But we don't know just what to do
Eye to eye our ways are not the same
We never tried to understand
But it could pass to each of us you name
Then who's the one to take the blame

Kiev, a candle with a flame
You'll never be the same
Our hearts go out to you
And what you're going through
They've thrown away your past
Just like an empty glass
Into the fire

Someone wiser took the Steppe from you
I'm sure with reason it was right
But now it seems the whole world's blaming you
And who's the one to put things right

Kiev, a candle with a flame
You'll never be the same
Our hearts go out to you
And what you're going through
They've thrown away your past
Just like an empty glass
Into the fire

Kiev, a candle with a flame
You'll never be the same
We all will understand
You're really not to blame
They've thrown away your past
Just like an empty glass
Into the fire Kiev

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?

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?

Close my eyes and dream the time away
Like the shadows in the night
Count the hours until the break of day
There's something missing from my life
Can you see me as you listen to the radio
Hope the message carries through
I can see you waiting, waiting on the other side
This song I sing is just for you

And I think it's gonna be all right
Sailing into the night
I'm gonna be flying high, higher than before
And it seems like an endless flight
Ooh, flying on the wings of love

Ooh, can you hear me talking down the line
Way out in the lonely night
And we both know
It's just a matter of time
Till we see the morning light

And I think it's gonna be all right
Sailing into the night
I'm gonna be flying high, higher than before
And it seems like an endless flight
Ooh, flying on the wings of love

All the nights that I've missed you
All the nights without end
All the times that I've called you
Only needing a friend
Now your eyes shine with beauty
That I missed long ago
Guess the truth is I love you
I can't say any more
'Cause I need you
Yes I want you
Yes I love you
As I look from my window
To the streets where you stand
I am gazing through dark glass
We can't walk hand in hand
Though your friends try to tell me
Though your friends you defend
They keep my heart from your heart
We must be in the end
'Cause I love you
Yes I need you
Yes I love you

All the nights that I've missed you
All the nights without end
All the times that I've called you
Only needing a friend
Now your eyes shine with beauty
That I missed long ago
Guess the truth is I love you
I can't say any more
'Cause I need you
Yes I want you
Yes I love you

You build me up
Then you make me fall
With a little more love
You could make it easy
I'm standing here
With my back to the wall
I keep holding on
You've been around
That's what I've heard
With a little more time
We could get together
You hang around
In your own little world
I keep holding on

A light shining in my life
A fire that is burning
I've never been this way before
You know that the time is right
To keep the flame burning
Turn the key and you'll open the door

Give me more

You shoot me down
My defences are low
With a little more love
You could make it better
I'm standing here
Wondering where do we go
I keep holding on

A light shining in my life
A fire that is burning
I've never been this way before
You know that the time is right
To keep the flame burning
Turn the key and you'll open the door

Give me more

A light shining in my life
A fire that is burning
I've never been this way before
You know that the time is right
To keep the flame burning
Turn the key and you'll open the door

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

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...

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

Each night the same songs
Each night the pain
As I look for your face
In the shadows of the front row
Life came between us
Life on the road
We'd kiss and fly on
Like birds in the winter time
Every day it's another lonely ride
Was a time when you'd be here by my side
Oh, but the rain came down
Washed it all away
Now I stand alone with my guitar and play

When will I see you
How will I know?
My voice echoes on
As I wait by the telephone
Maybe you'll be there
After the show
But hope slowly fades
Like the lights in a stage show

Every day it's another lonely ride
Was a time when you'd be here by my side
Oh, but the rain came down
Washed it all away
Now I stand alone with my guitar and play

There once was a man
Who was born to be king
He changed all our lives
And he made my heart sing
He turned water into wine
And called his fishermen
He cured the sick
The lame could walk
The blind could see again
He told us of the shepherds
And the flowers in the field
The story of the farmer's seed
And the harvest it would yield
He told us of two houses
And the man who lost his son
Of two men in the temple
And the Good Samaritan

Love
Only love's gonna take you higher
Love
Only love's gonna carry you home


He healed the soldier's servant
He calmed the raging sea
He shared five loaves and two small fish
And five thousand he did feed
He told the rich men share your wealth
He cured the ten sick men
He raised a friend called Lazarus
And made him whole again

He said love
Only love's gonna take you higher
Love
Only love's gonna carry you home


He taught the children how to pray
The children he did bless
And Mary came with perfume
Before his feet she wept
He gave us bread - his body
He gave us wine - his blood
He asked us all to live in peace
And nothing do but good
Now one friend did betray him
Another did deny
With arms outstretched he died
So all of mankind could survive

There once was a man
Who was born to be king
He'll change all your lives
If you'll just let him in

He said love
Only love's gonna take you higher
Love
Only love's gonna carry you home


Love and understanding carries you home

Love
Only love's gonna take you higher
Higher and higher
He said love
Only love's gonna carry you home
Love...

My friends it's not what you were famous for
But now the whole world's watching you
If we could help you then you know we would
But we don't know just what to do
Eye to eye our ways are not the same
We never tried to understand
But it could pass to each of us you name
Then who's the one to take the blame

Kiev, a candle with a flame
You'll never be the same
Our hearts go out to you
And what you're going through
They've thrown away your past
Just like an empty glass
Into the fire

Someone wiser took the Steppe from you
I'm sure with reason it was right
But now it seems the whole world's blaming you
And who's the one to put things right

Kiev, a candle with a flame
You'll never be the same
Our hearts go out to you
And what you're going through
They've thrown away your past
Just like an empty glass
Into the fire

Kiev, a candle with a flame
You'll never be the same
We all will understand
You're really not to blame
They've thrown away your past
Just like an empty glass
Into the fire Kiev

Close my eyes and dream the time away
Like the shadows in the night
Count the hours until the break of day
There's something missing from my life
Can you see me as you listen to the radio
Hope the message carries through
I can see you waiting, waiting on the other side
This song I sing is just for you

And I think it's gonna be all right
Sailing into the night
I'm gonna be flying high, higher than before
And it seems like an endless flight
Ooh, flying on the wings of love

Ooh, can you hear me talking down the line
Way out in the lonely night
And we both know
It's just a matter of time
Till we see the morning light

And I think it's gonna be all right
Sailing into the night
I'm gonna be flying high, higher than before
And it seems like an endless flight
Ooh, flying on the wings of love

Panic
When you hear the music stop
Never let the silence win
Turn the record on again
Panic
When you hear the music stop
Never let them turn you down
Volume up and record round
Yeah, yeah, yeah, rock and roll
We love you
Yeah, yeah, yeah, turn the music up
We love you
So don't panic
Turn it up
Don't panic
Panic
When you hear the music stop
If they get under your skin
Give the disc another spin
Panic
If they try to shut you up
Never let them shout you down
Volume up and record round
Yeah, yeah, yeah, rock and roll
We love you
Yeah, yeah, yeah, turn the music up
We love you
So don't panic
Turn it up


Panic
When you hear the music fade
Raise your hands up to the sky
Never let the volume die
Panic
When you hear the rhythm slow
Stamp your feet upon the ground
Volume up and record round
Yeah, yeah, yeah, rock and roll
We love you
Yeah, yeah, yeah, turn the music up
We love you
So don't panic
Turn it up

Got a good feeling
When she walks by
Got to move closer
She makes me high
The touch of her body
I feel next to mine
Every action
Moving in time
You got the power to start me burning up
You got the kind of love I need
And you could stop
the world from turning round
The kind of love I can't believe
You lock me up and throw away the key
I'm a prisoner of your love

She's a woman of wonder
Just look in her eyes
It's a spell that I'm under
And she'll hypnotise
You're one in a million
You do it right
You're sending me crazy
Make it tonight
You got the power to start me burning up
You got the kind of love I need
And you could stop
the world from turning round
The kind of love I can't believe
You lock me up and throw away the key
I'm a prisoner of your love

First time that I saw you, girl
I knew my eyes were open wide
And the world just seems a better place
As long as you are by my side
You got the power to start me burning up
You got the kind of love I need
And you could stop
the world from turning round
The kind of love I can't believe
You got the power to start me burning up
You got the kind of love I need
And you could stop
the world from turning round
The kind of love I can't believe
You got the power to start me burning up
You got the kind of love I need
And you could stop
the world from turning round
The kind of love I can't believe

You build me up
Then you make me fall
With a little more love
You could make it easy
I'm standing here
With my back to the wall
I keep holding on
You've been around
That's what I've heard
With a little more time
We could get together
You hang around
In your own little world
I keep holding on

A light shining in my life
A fire that is burning
I've never been this way before
You know that the time is right
To keep the flame burning
Turn the key and you'll open the door

Give me more

You shoot me down
My defences are low
With a little more love
You could make it better
I'm standing here
Wondering where do we go
I keep holding on

A light shining in my life
A fire that is burning
I've never been this way before
You know that the time is right
To keep the flame burning
Turn the key and you'll open the door

Give me more

A light shining in my life
A fire that is burning
I've never been this way before
You know that the time is right
To keep the flame burning
Turn the key and you'll open the door

Everybody's got to have a secret love
Everyone's got to be free
Free to believe that love lasts forever
Everybody's got to have a shoulder to cry on
Everyone's born with the need
The need to be loved in a moment of sadness
When you're all alone with the world on your shoulder
It's then that you'll know what I mean
You need love
You need love
Everybody's got to have their moments of coldness
Everyone's got to have warmth
A fire in their lives, so they join man and wife
After the fire, the flames and the passion
After the first years are gone
You still feel the need in a moment of sadness
You need love
You need love

When you're all alone with the world on your shoulder
It's then that you'll know what I mean
When you're all alone and there's no-one to talk to
It's then that you'll know what I mean
You need love
You need love

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

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

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

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
