Mark Hart

He imagines the world
As the angel ascending
Like the ghost of a man
Who is tied up to the chair

And he tries to believe
That his life has a meaning
With his hand on his heart
Pour le monde, pas pour la guerre

And I wake up blind
Like my dreams were too bright
And I lost my regard
For the good things that I had
And the radio was sad

When you listen for good
In a hope that comes to nothing
‘Cos the liars have moved in
And they believe their own
Dark medicine

They act so nonchalant
But he is not a dog
Perform for you in the stadium
For the world, not for the war

And he won't hesitate
Though it might lead to heartache
In the night club indigo
For the world, not for the war
Pour le monde, pas pour la guerre

When you listen for good
In a hope that comes to nothing
'Cos the liars have moved in
And they brew their own
Dark medicine
Believing it's good
Behind their jaded eyes,
A dilemma

He's the best
You ever had
He's so low
You'll never know

Another pleasant day in the countryside
Ended up in tears on a stormy night
'Cause you can't follow my directions home
Don't stop now

God knows where the satellite's taking us
Can't tell what is right in front of us
But I hang on every word

Don't stop now
No, don't stop now
Give me something I can write about

Get fooled by the lightning every time
See the after image of my outline
Then you turn the wrong way ‘round

Well, don't stop now
No, don't stop now
Give me something I can write about
Give me something I can cry about

In a church house ten miles out of town
Is the devil gonna track me down
When you travel through a tunnel in the trees
Just remember that's how you get to me

There's no number on the house
The birds are heading south
Sometimes you have to turn
The wrong way ‘round
Sometimes you get too close to nowhere now

Restless, hopeful, in silence I wait
With a blank piece of paper on the top of my head

And all I want is something I can write about
All I want is something I can cry about

English trees in my garden
They planted seeds in a faraway land
In between the palms and the succulent grow

They lose their leaves in the winter
Mark the seasons for him and for her
Once upon a time in the fallen snow
Up against the sky made a silhouette show

England cries and she plays for him
Her chords entwined like a requiem
And though it's springtime and color is new
In Regent's Park I will mourn for you

And I must be wise somehow
'Cause my heart's been broken down

It's so far to fall
And so hard to climb
Nothing sadder I know
Than the passing of time

You won't forget me
You won't forget me

Like english trees in my garden
Summer's missed you my darling
All your crimes are forgiven
All your crimes are forgiven

And I must be wise somehow

(You won't forget me)
(You won't forget me)

And England cries

There's English trees in my garden

I want to turn on the lights
I want to keep your hopes alive
So where do I begin
To help you believe again
Makers of secret planes
Keepers of our last remains
Dream of a holy state
In a nightmare time

You know I meant it well
But who was it meant to help?

Even a child knows you dont waste it
A promise is only given once
And there is no doubt that changes have begun
Even a child knows that you can't fake it
As long as the world is waking up
You are free now to recover your heart

The stories left to write
The ebb and flow of my life
To justify the end
I'll do everything I can
And it's a dangerous game
I heard you tell someone that you don't care
But I don't believe the message

And when you sing about love
What are you thinking of?

Even a child knows you dont waste it
As long as the world is waking up
And there is no doubt that changes have begun
Even a child knows you don't fake it
A promise is only given once
You are free now to go wherever you want

Theres nothing like waking up in some foreign town
Music is a call to prayer
Wailing out of the speakers in the market place
The first time
Even a child

Even a child knows you don't waste it
A present can always be delivered twice
You are free now to receive the gift of insight

From now on (lets be open)
All in time (lets breathe in)
Am I brave (you're so brave)
Am I afraid (no not afraid)
Even a child

Plead with my saint
Wash his hands and feet
Find his complaints
Make this world complete

And this heaven that I'm making
Can't come quickly enough
And the big wave that I'm taking
It feels like I'm just waking up

Mind out, don't think
I can't get used to it
Right on the brink
I end up losing it

And this heaven that I'm making
It can't come quickly enough
And the big wave that I'm taking
It feels like I'm just waking up

And I'll be there
If all of creation is kind
And each conversation I hear
As I'm walking in through the crowd
As if I can float through the air

And this heaven

Well, this heaven that I'm making
It can't come quickly enough
And this big boat that I'm taking
Can't come by quickly enough

If there is hell on Earth
There must be heaven, too
Both in one place
And not a second to lose

Down on the ocean floor
That's where I'm heading for
Hold on to a sinking stone
Until the worst is known.

Nobody wants to think about it
Nobody wants to talk about it
Nobody Protects you

They make it go away
Pretending that it's all ok
Broken pieces on the ground
And everyones tip-toeing round

Nobody wants to think about it
Nobody wants to talk about it
No-one Protects you
Yeah

Are we losing something
We used to cry
We used to say why
For all I know
I might not get home
But I found out
If we open it up
We could work this out

Nobody wants to think about it
Nobody wants to talk about it
Now

What you suspected all along
Everything he told you was wrong
And you can see it if you want

But nobody wants to

Sweet madness it must be wrong
What kind of fool imagines love
With all this going on
Stars burning in the empty sky
And the city is a flame
With a million lights
And they come and they go
In the blink of an eye

People are like suns
And they're burning up inside
People are like suns

Science will enable us to hear
To be crystal clear
To make diamonds in the shifting sand
Better take all the love that you got in a single hand
And they come and they go
In the fullness of time

People are like suns
They are burning up inside
People are like suns
Breathing into life
All that's good in us
To saints become

It can't be helped
Doesn't stop me thinking out aloud
I could've done something
And they come and they go
Yeah they come and they go
People are like suns
People are like suns
They go out tonight
Set this town alight
All fade into white

He's the best
You ever had
He's so low
You'll never know

Say that again
I won't forget
The phrase that turned in my head
And at the start
It makes no sense
A long time left to understand

There on the shore
The girl that I adore
She combs her hair on the sand

And I know
You got to fight the plan
You got to bend the rules
Yeah I know
You got be your own man
You got break the rules

I think too much
The alphabet
They dance a pirhoutte in my head
A chance remark
Becomes the spark
And maybe luck has come again
The hint of a smile
The accidental rhyme
That captured me the first time

And I know
You got to fight the plan
You got to bend the rules
Yeah I know
You got be your own man
You got make the rules

Midnight is standing in the shadows
This haunting is a reckless escape
Late nights of crawling on the sidewalk
Lets stay on in the mansion for the weekend
Lets go on making moments last a lifetime
We live on in the promises we keep

The hint of a smile
The accidental rhyme
That captured me the first time

And I know
You got to fight the plan
You got to bend the rules
Yeah I know
You got be your own man
You got break the rules
And I know
you got to be your own man
you got to make your own rules

Go on making moments last a lifetime
We live on in the company we keep

Lets go on

She called up
And gave me the news
It made me so sad, sad, sad
There was nothing I could do
She's too far away
And you had to leave
I can never repay you now
For what you gave to me

A whisper that can blow a chasm wide
It took us all
It took us all
Pushed apart the mountains and the tide
It took us all

She called up
And gave me the news
It made me so sad, sad, sad
There was nothing I could do
I was so lost
In delirious sleep
Wasn't prepared for that position
Yeah maybe I was naive

But truth is a mortal blow
You know all there is to know
The hurt that you held so close
There's something better now

And she called up
And gave me the news
It made me so sad, sad, sad
There was nothing I could do
She's too far away
And you had to leave
I can never repay you now
For what you gave to me

For what you gave to me
She called up
She called up
She called up
And gave me the news

A sigh
from the deepest well
you can tell a lot
by not saying a thing
It's true
between us, my friend
this longing...
A sigh
for loneliness to end
no changing the story now


a sigh
from the emptiest part
it's a tender place
a sigh
is more than I can bear
this show is not
fooling anyone
but it's all for you
but i think your mind is made up

These walls have eyes
Rows of photographs
With faces like mine
Who do we become
Without knowing where we started from

It's true
I'm missing you
And I stand alone
Inside your room

Everything that you made by hand
Everything that you know by heart

I will try to connect
All the pieces you've left
I will carry it on
And let you forget
I'll remember the years
When your mind was still clear
All the flickering lights
They filled up this silent house

One room
Two beds
In the closet hangs your favourite dress
Good books that you read
Are in pieces now
The pages are shredded

Everything that you made by hand
Everything that you know by heart

I will try to connect
All the pieces you've left
I will carry it on
And let you forget
I'll remember the years
When your mind was still clear
All the flickering lights
That filled up this silent house

Everything that you made by hand
Everything that you know by heart
All the names that you can't recall

I will try to connect
All the pieces you've left
I will carry it on
And let you forget

I'll remember the years
When your mind was still clear
All the flickering lights
That filled up this silent house

Talk to her, that's right
It could mean more than you think
Talk to her, that's right
And you don't have to lose a thing
Leave the boots and saddle outside
You could make her happy again
Laugh about the time
She threw the dinner at you

And in the coconut grove
You can imagine the scene
Another bus unloads
We're still waiting to leave

Talk to her, that's nice
Or you could make a murder begin
Breathe on her, that's right
Once more you will be her friend
She's the only who knows
Where you're from and where you've been
And what remains unsaid
Can leave you hanging in between

I spent a lot of time in the transit lounge
And I wasn't sure where I was going now
The papers I read were all yesterday's news
Not a hundred percent sure what I did with my shoes
Lying on the floor of the transit lounge
There'll be no announcements made
Better make sure you don't sleep too sound
There'll be no announcements made
There'll be no announcements made

And you can dream about the things
You meant to do before you die
Break him out, the one
Who's waiting for his moment to shine
All the stupid things I said
Will haunt you, will linger I guess

And in the coconut grove
You can imagine the scene
Another bus unloads
We're still waiting to leave
The camera flash goes off
See the tallest man alive
And Thai massage his feet
Before his long plane ride

She walked her way down
It brought my mind back
From where I was trapped
How long will it take
For tension to break

Feel it sliding off
Shimmy-like cloth
I left on the ground

And I know what the answer is
And I'm happy to be here tonight

But when you're in the moment
Everything you want is right
But before she takes a step
She's waiting for the beat to arrive
And the drummer's counting out the start
She walked her way down

In silver and black
Tension is snapped
I picked up the trace
A scent I can't place
Remembering desire
Higher and high
Lift off the ground

And I know what the answer is
But I'm happy to be here tonight

And when you're in the moment
Everything you want is right
From before she takes a step
She's waiting for the beat to arrive
The drummer makes the same mistake

And my eyes are on the shape
That is captured in the light
All went quiet on the floor
When she walked her way down

As we happen to be here tonight
But don't we make a beautiful sight

And when you're in the moment
Everything you want is right
But before she takes a step
She's waiting for the beat to arrive

If you're tamed by all the pressure
Everything you want to become
The drummer always comes in late

And my eyes are on the shake
That is captured in the light

And I want to feel the weightless grasp
Upon my heavy life

Who'll face the tide
And take their chances?
Will fasten the line
To broken branches
Adrift on the ocean in wild winter storms
I have to imagine things to keep myself warm
The night closing in, but not to worry
Told everyone I know, that I was sorry
And I heard them all singing
For comfort and peace
And in my confusion
Yeah I still believe

You are the one to make me cry
You are the one to take me home
Of all the people in my life
My thoughts keep returning to you
But consciousness is fading fast

Surrounded by signs that go on living
Make circles in time, a spidersweb spinning
But I have no illusions of where I am now
I'll let this wave take me and draw me down

You are the one to make me cry
You are the one to take me home
Of all the stories in your life
Only good things return to you
If I could only say the word
If you could hear me cry for help
I lift my head up to the sky
But the planes that were circling now have gone

Let me tell you a story that'll make a change,
Let me tell you when I'm way out of range;
It's about a man who's crueler than me,
So promise not to cause a scene,
Heaven help the one's you love,
There's no big need for stars above

Well, you can run, you, know he'll find you,
It don't matter now, just look behind you,
You had your warn, and you knew the score,
You got it wrong, and that means war;
So, why'd you have to treat me rough,
Your explanation's not enough.

Ain't nobody but me,
Gonna lie for you, gonna die for you;
Ain't no fish in the sea,
Gonna sigh for you, gonna try for you,
Gonna lie for you, gonna die for you,
Wooh

You see, I got a mental disposition,
Sometimes, I'm mean, sometimes I'm vicious;
I'm dr. jekyll, I'm mr. hyde,
So if you want to stay alive,
Just give me all you've got to give,
And, then perhaps I'll let you live.

Ain't nobody but me,
Gonna lie for you, gonna die for you,
Ain't no fish in the sea,

Goin' sigh for you, gonna try for you,
Goin' lie for you, gonna die for you;
Goin' sigh for you, gonna try for you,
Goin' lie for you, gonna die for you.-

(Hush) now baby, stop your crying,
(Oh yes) I know that I've been lying,
(Hush) now baby, stop your crying
(Oh yes) I know that I've been lying

(Hush) now baby, stop your crying
(Oh yes) I know that I've been lying
(Hush) now baby, stop your crying
(Oh yes) I know that I've been lying

If there's no way of knowing where's the answer,
You should know if you need me by now, tell me how.
You saw me in the first place,
Who d'you think I am
How can you be so two-faced
And tell me where I stand
Yeah, we've been here once before,
I see you by the door,
You said you knew and all were calling,
Yeah, you know you just can't lose,
All you have to do is choose, let me in on where your heart is.

You ain't nothing but another man's woman,
Living on another man's land;
At night I hear a hound dog callin,
A callin' me a cheatin' man.
I tell you somethin', I need good lovin', but you don't understand,
At night I see you cannonball comin'
To blow me to the promised land.

If there's no-way of showing where your love lies,
Is it me?, is it him?, or no-one;
What will be done?
About the mess you made me,
Oh don't you give a damn,
You're gonna drive me crazy,
It's more than I can stand,
'Round and 'round we always go
First it's yes and then it's no,
Oh whatever keeps me sane?
I'm so helpless, can't you see?
Did you cast a spell on me,
Say you love me please, I'm praying

So you think your schooling's phoney
I guess it's hard not to agree
You say it all depends on money
And who is in your family tree
Right, you're bloody well right
you know you got a right to say
Right, you're bloody well right
you know you got a right to say
Ha-ha you're bloody well right
you know you're right to say
Yeah-yeah you're bloody well right
you know you're right to say
Me, I don't care anyway!
Write your problems down in detail
Take them to a higher place
You've had your cry - no, I should say wail
In the meantime hush your face
Right, quite right, you're bloody well right... etc.

Take a look at my girlfriend
Cos She's the only one I've got
Not much of a girlfriend
Never seem to get a lot

Take a jumbo 'cross the water
Like to see America
See the girls in California
I'm hoping it's going to come true
But there's not a lot I can do

Could we have kippers for breakfast
Mummy dear, Mummy dear
They've got to have them in Texas
Because everyone's a millionaire

I'm a winner, I'm a sinner
Do you want my autograph
I'm a loser, what a joker
I'm playing my jokes upon you
While there's nothing better to do

Don't you look at my girlfriend
For She's the only one I got
Well Not much of a girlfriend
But Never seem to get a lot
What you got? Not a lot

Take a jumbo cross the water
Like to see America
See the girls in California
I'm hoping it's going to come true
But there's not a lot I can do

You're tellin' lies, so don't you criticize
Yeah I got used, all messed up and abused
You let me down, with all your runnin' round
Still you pretend and try to call me friend

don't say a word, I know just what I heard
Yeah you've been loose, you just go no excuse
Just feel my rage, why can't you come of age?

I felt it all, just like a cannonball

Then you got mad, you said that I'm all bad
So what's the use, you lied and that's the truth
You took the key and drove right out on me
I never knew, put all my trust in you

OK that's it, I'm leaving now, I quit
I was unwise, so don't apologize
I paid the price, for taking your advice
I felt it all, just like a cannonball

You can say what you want all day
But I've never been so outraged
I'm washing my hands of you
How could you be so untrue
You know I can't stand no more
You know I can't stand no more

Now they're planning the crime of the century
Well what will it be?
Read all about their schemes and adventuring
It's well worth the fee
So roll up and see
And they rape the universe
How they've gone from bad to worse
Who are these men of lust, greed, and

Don't leave me now
Leave me out in the pouring rain
With my back against the wall
Don't leave me now
Don't leave me now
Leave me out with nowhere to go
As the shadows start to fall
Don't leave me now
Don't leave me now
Leave me out on this lonely road
As the wind begins to howl
Don't leave me now
Don't leave me now
All alone on this darkest night
Feeling old and cold and grey
Don't leave me now

Don't leave me now
Leave me holding an empty heart
As the curtain starts to fall
Don't leave me now
Don't leave me now
All alone in this crazy world
When I'm old and cold and grey
And time is gone

Took a boat Sunday, down by the sea
It just felt so nice, you and me
We didn't have a problem or a care
And all around was silence, everywhere

You are the reason I was born
Be with you through all seasons
I'll always hear you when you call
We'll keep the love light shining
Through each night and day
A lonely life behind me
Oh what a change you've made

So down here on the ocean we will stay
We will stay. We will stay.
Went through a lot of changes
Turned a lot of pages
When I took a boat Sunday

To know you as I know you now
That is all I need
And we will get along somehow
If we both believe

So down here on the ocean we will stay
We will stay. We will stay.
Went through a lot of changes
Turned a lot of pages
When I took a boat Sunday

Dreamer, you know you are a dreamer
Well can you put your hands in your head, oh no!
I said dreamer, you're nothing but a dreamer
Well can you put your hands in your head, oh no!
I said "Far out, - What a day, a year, a laugh it is!"
You know, - Well you know you had it comin' to you,
Now there's not a lot I can do

Dreamer, you stupid little dreamer;
So now you put your head in your hands, oh no!
I said "Far out, - What a day, a year, a laugh it is!"
You know, - Well you know you had it comin' to you,
Now there's not a lot I can do.

Well work it out someday

If I could see something
You can see anything you want boy
If I could be someone-
You can be anyone, celebrate boy.
If I could do something-
Well you can do something,
If I could do anything-
Well can you do something out of this world?

Take a dream on a Sunday
Take a life, take a holiday
Take a lie, take a dreamer
dream, dream, dream, dream, dream along...

Dreamer, you know you are a dreamer
Well can you put your hands in your head, oh no!
I said dreamer, you're nothing but a dreamer
Well can you put your hands in your head, oh no!
OH NO!

Even in the quietest moments
I wish I knew what I had to do
And even though the sun is shining
Well I feel the rain --- here it comes again, dear
And even when you showed me
My heart was out of tune
For there's a shadow of doubt that's not letting me find you too soon
The music that you gave me
The language of my soul
Oh Lord, I want to be with you.
Won't you let me come in from the cold?

Don't you let the sun fade away
Don't you let the sun fade away
Don't you let the sun be leaving
Won't you come to me soon

And even though the stars are listening
And the ocean's deep, I just go to sleep
And then I create a silent movie
You become the star, is that what you are, dear?
Your whisper tells a secret
Your laughter brings me joy
And a wonder of feeling I'm Nature's own little boy
But still the tears keep falling
They're raining from the sky
Well there's a lot of me got to go under before I get high

Don't you let the sun disappear
Don't you let the sun disappear
Don't you let the sun be leaving
No, you can't be leaving my life
Say that you won't be leaving my life
Say that you won't be leaving my life
Say won't you please, stay won't you please
Say won't you please, stay won't you please
Lord, won't you come and get into my life
Lord, won't you come and get into my life
Say won't you please, stay won't you please
Say won't you please, stay won't you please
Lord, don't go

And even when the song is over
Where have I been --- was it just a dream?
And though your door is always open
Where do I begin --- may I please come in, dear?

When a spirit is broken
Why go on
When there's nothing to say
And a love just a token
It was strong
Now it's fading away
Ah but I'm free as a bird
As I walk right out that door
You have my word
I won't bother you no more
Yes I'm doing alright
As I face the lonely night

And our love it was over
Long ago
But we just didn't say
And the years they have fallen
One by one
How they drifted away

Now I'm free as a bird
As I walk right out that door
You have my word
I won't bother you no more
Yes I'm feeling OK
As I face the brand new day

Yes I'm free as a bird...

No more sorrow will I find
I've got tomorrow on my side
No more teardrops will I cry
Left my teardrops way behind
No more heartaches bother me
Don't wear my heartaches on my sleeve

It's gonna be a brand new story
What's the use of former glory
It's better not to do if you can't do right
It's time to get to celebrating
After all the years of waiting
I'm gonna have a ball if it takes all night

Monday has come around again
I'm in the same old place
With the same old faces always watching me
Who knows how long I'll have to stay
Could be a hundred years
Of sweat and tears
At the rate that I get paid

Sometimes I slowly drift away
From all the dull routine
That's with me every day
A fantasy will come to me
Diamonds are what I really need
Think I'll rob a store, escape the law
And live in Italy

Lately my luck has been so bad
You know the roulette wheel's
A crooked deal
I'm loosing all I had

Soon be like a man that's on the run
And live from day to day
Never needing anyone
Play hide and seek
Throughout the week

My life is full of romance

Guess I'll always have to be
Living in a fantasy
That's the way it's got to be
From now on
You think I'm crazy I can see
It's you for you, and me for me
Living in a fantasy
From now on

Give a little bit
Give a little bit of your love to me
Give a little bit
I'll give a little bit of my love to you
There's so much that we need to share
Send a smile and show you care

I'll give a little bit
I'll give a little bit of my love to you
So give a little bit
Give a little bit of your time to me
See the man with the lonely eyes
Take his hand, you'll be surprised

Give a little bit
Give a little bit of your love to me
I'll give a little bit of my love for you
Now's the time that we need to share
So find yourself, we're on our way back home

Going home
Don't you need to feel at home?
Oh yeah, we gotta sing

It's just heartbreaking
I should have known that it would let me down
It's just a mind aching
I used to dream about this town

It was a sight to see
The place to be,
Where the living is easy
And the kicks can always be found

It's such a shame about it
I used to think that it would feel so good
But who's to blame about it
So many creeps in Hollywood

I'm in this dumb motel
Nea the 'Taco Bell'
Without a hope in hell
I can't believe that I'm still around

Ain't nothin new in my life today
Ain't nothing true it's all gone away

I've had too much cryin', seen too much grief
I'm sick of tryin' it's beyond belief
I'm tired of talking on the telephone
They're trying to tell me that they're not at home

Ain't nothing new in my life today
I'm tired of walking from place to place
I've yet to come across a friendly face
And now the words sound familiar, as them slam the door
"You're not what we're looking for."

Ain't nothing new in my life today
Ain't nothing true it's all gone away

If we only had time, only had time for you
If we only had time, only had time for you
If we only had time, only had time for you

It was a heartbreaking
Now I ride in the big fine car
It was mind aching
I'm the talk of the boulevard

So keep your chin up boy
Forget the pain
I know you'll make it
If you try again

There's no use in quitting
When the world is waiting for you

It was an early morning yesterday
I was up before the dawn
And I really have enjoyed my stay
But I must be moving on

Like a king without a castle
Like a queen without a throne
I'm an early morning lover
And I must be moving on

Now I believe in what you say
Is the undisputed truth
But I have to have things my own way
To keep me in my youth

Like a ship without an achor
Like a slave without a chain
Just the thought of those sweet ladies
Sends a shiver through my veins

And I will go on shining
Shining like brand new
I'll never look behind me
My troubles will be few

Goodbye strangeR it's been nice
Hope you find your paradise
Tried to see your point of view
Hope your dreams will all come true
Goodbye Mary, Goodbye Jane
Will we ever meet again
Feel no sorrow, feel no shame
Come tomorrow, feel no pain

Now some they do and some they don't
And some you just can't tell )like(
And some they will and some they won't
With some it's just as well

You can laugh at my behavior
That'll never bother me
Say the devil is my savior
But I don't pay no heed

And I will go on shining
Shining like brand new
I'll never look behind me
My troubles will be few
Goodbye stranger it's been nice etc...

It's raining again
Oh no, my love's at an end.
Oh no, it's raining again
And you know it's hard to pretend.
Oh no, it's raining again
Too bad I'm losing a friend.
Oh no, it's raining again
Oh will my heart ever mend.
Oh no, it's raining again
You're old enough some people say
To read the signs and walk away
It's only time that heals the pain
And makes the sun come out again
It's raining again
Oh no, my love's at an end.
Oh no, it's raining again
Too bad I'm losing a friend.

C'mon you little fighter
No need to get uptighter
C'mon you little fighter
And get back up again
Oh get back up again
Fill your heart again...

Lady, you come across the water,
Well don't you think you oughta?
Be waiting a while,
Are you acting, on what your heart has told you,
Is nothing gonna' hold you, from flying away, a-ha
Flying away a-ha, flying away.

'Cause there's nowhere to go,
Though the road is out stretching before you,
and the farther you go,
I said,
-Ain't nothing gonna get you to heaven-
I said,
-Ain't nothing gonna get you to heaven-
and you know just who you are
and you know that there's something between us,
and you like what you feel, but
-I can tell that you're not gonna turn back-
-Well I can tell that you're not gonna turn back-
And don't you know I'm a little bit sad, oh-no

Oh-la-la-la-la *4 Arrgh *3

Mister, you better get a move on
You better get a fix on,
Mmm-you better walk straight.
I said Lady, oh just take me if you want me, oh,
take me as you find me,
Oh, I'm needing your love so bad *3

And there's nowhere to go,
though the road is out stretching before you,
and the farther you go,
I said,
-Ain't nothing gonna get you to heaven-
I said,
-Ain't nothing gonna get you to heaven-
and you know just who you are
and you know that there's something between us, and,
you like what you feel, but,
-I can tell that you're not gonna turn back-
But,
-I can tell that you're not gonna turn back-
And don't you know I'm a little bit sad, sad, sad, sad.
(Takin' the long way, and no turning back)

Dream of nothing to do
Dream of nothing to say
Guess I need something to dream about
But Something keeps on moving away

I said, land ho, will I be sailing forever?
I need some wind to take me to my goal
Land ho, will I be dreaming forever?
I gotta find an anchor for my soul

Once I thought I could see
But now I feel I'm just blind
For there's this Something that's calling me
Something that is so hard to find

I said, land ho, will I be sailing forever?
I guess I feel my ship is getting old
Land ho, will I be dreaming forever?
I gotta find an anchor for my soul

When you're alone, there's not a sail in sight
There's a grey-lit sky and you may just try to take your life
There once was a lady made me feel alright
But she couldn't stay, she just sailed away
Now there's only waves to see me through the night

Maybe I'll always be sad
And maybe there'll always be strife
Drifting alone with a saddened tone
Afloat in the ocean of life

I said, land ho, a sailing ship gone forever
I need some wind to take me to my goal
Land ho, will I be searching forever?
I gotta find an anchor for my soul

Will I be sealing forever?
Will I be dreaming forever?
Will I be searching forever,
forever, forever, forever…
(repeat to fade)

The Logical Song
by Supertramp

When I was young, it seemed that life was so wonderful,
a miracle, oh it was beautiful, magical.
And all the birds in the trees, well they'd be singing so happily,
joyfully, playfully watching me.
But then they send me away to teach me how to be sensible,
logical, responsible, practical.
And they showed me a world where I could be so dependable,
clinical, intellectual, cynical.


There are times when all the world's asleep,
the questions run too deep
for such a simple man.
Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned
I know it sounds absurd
but please tell me who I am.

Now watch what you say or they'll be calling you a radical,
liberal, fanatical, criminal.
Won't you sign up your name, we'd like to feel you're
acceptable, respecable, presentable, a vegtable!

At night, when all the world's asleep,
the questions run so deep
for such a simple man.
Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned
I know it sounds absurd
but please tell me who I am.

Let me tell you what I want to say
You're the only one who can make me feel this way

My kind of lady
No better love could I embrace
No better heart, no other face
Can quite compare with you
You came along and then you mend my broken dreams
I was so down and then as foolish as it seems
You gave me your affection
Yeh baby you came through

We'll make it you'll see
In spite of those who say it's wrong
This time we feel that we belong
Now we can truly say
We'll be together and that's all we'll ever need
We'll love eachother, that's the way it's gonna be
And nothin' under the sun of moon
Can make us be apart

Oh my honey
You know I'll love you every day
When things go wrong we'll find a way
I'm so glad I met you
Much more than I can ever say
We're making plans and holding hands just like before
We'll try again, we'll make amends along the road
It's fellin' good, just like it should, this time we know
We'll share eachother's happiness for now and evermore

I've been wastin' my life away
I've got a message for you today
To tell you that you are

My kind of lady
I'm not the same since I met you
All of my dreams had fallen through
And then you came along
One magic night when things went right it was so fine
Looked in your eyes and realized that you were mine
And nothin' under the sun of moon
Can make us be apart

Oh my baby
You know I'll love you all the way
When times get hard we'll smile and say
I'm so glad I met you
I'll love you more and more each day
We're making plans and holding hands just like before
We'll try again, we'll make amends along the road
It's fellin' good, just like it should, this time we know
We'll share eachother's happiness for now and evermore

Oh darling, will you ever change your mind
I've been feeling left behind
Like a shadow in your light

Ah honey won't you say that I'm the one
And if you think you're gonna run
Well you know

I'm gonna be around you, all about you
Always by your side
I'm gonna dream about you, scheme about you
Love you all the time,

Love you all the time
I'm gonna catch you lady
Catch you lady

The news is all over town
You better not let me down
Keep telling me you're feeling good
As good as you ever could
Please tell me that you'll never go
Ah ah no no

Ah lately, I'm like a watch that's overwound
And I've got both feet off the ground
Because you see

I'm gonna be so busy, oh my pretty
Love you night and day
And through the rain and shine
I'll make you mine
I'll love you come what may
I'm gonna catch you lady, catch you lady
Catch you lady uh huh

Trouble is my calling card, that?s my middle name Now my life is misery, don?t know what to do Yes your gone, your history, but I can?t get over you Ever since you walked away, things are not the same Used to be in Shang-Gri-La, life used to be so good You and me were going so far and that was understood So now I live from day to day ?cos I can?t get over you But ever since you walked away, my world has turned so blue Just how this could go so wrong, I will never know Well I want you right next to me and that?s all I can say Give our love another chance, you could make it so And I?ve been calling ever since you drove me away Now my heart is not so strong and it might break over you You were on my mind so long, it?s hard for me to take You can wear a wig and some elevator shoes Make yourself twice as big, but I?m still coming after you SUBMITTED BY STUDIO KAMI

Rudy's on a train to nowhere, halfway down the line
He don't wanna get there, but he needs time
He ain't sophisticated, nor well-educated
After all the hours he's wasted, still he needs time
He needs time - he needs time for livin'
He needs time - for so

I can see you in the morning when you go to school
Don't forget your books, you know you've got to learn the golden rule,
Teacher tells you stop your play and get on with your work
And be like Johnnie - too-good, well don't you know he never shirks
- he's coming along!

After school is over you're playing in the park
Don't be out too late, don't let it get too dark
They tell you not to hang around and learn what life's about
And grow up just like them - won't you let it work it out
- and you're full of doubt

Don't do this and don't do that
What are they trying to do? Make a good boy of you
Do they know where it's at?
Don't criticize, they're old and wise
Do as they tell you to
Don't want the devil to
Come and put out your eyes

Maybe I'm mistaken expecting you to fight
Or maybe I'm just crazy, I don't know wrong from right
But while I am still living, I've just got this to say
It's always up to you if you want to be that
want to see that
want to see it that way
- you're coming along!

Ooo-when I was a small boy,
Well, I could see the magic in a day,
But, now I'm just a poor boy,
Well, maybe it's the price you have to pay,
If you lock your dreams away
If no-one wants to listen.
What's the story,
I wish I'd been a minstrel,
Just think of all the maidens I could call,
Oh-I wish I'd been a gypsy,
Then maybe I could read the crystal ball,
'Cause surrounded by these walls,
Just makes me feel uneasy.
I said hey, Sister Moonshine
Won't you send me a little sun
Who's a stranger to everyone.
I said hey, Sister moonshine
So, -MAKE US ALL LAUGH-
-MAKE US ALL GIVE-
Make us all cry
Make us all try
Give us a secret, show us the light,
Well, strike up the music, light up the sky.
Well, I could be the king off all the plains,
Mmm-If I was a lion,
Mmm-If is was an eagle,
Well, maybe I could fly above the rains,
But, I know I'm only foolin'
Oh, fly above the pain
I said hey, Sister Moonshine,
Won't you send me a little sun,
Who's a stranger to everyone.
I said hey, Sister Moonshine,
Make us all cry,
So, -MAKE US ALL LAUGH-
-MAKE US ALL GIVE-
Make us all cry,
I said hey, Sister Moonshine,
I said hey, said hey
I said hey, I said hey Sister Moonshine I said hey, Sister Moonshine

In the middle of our summer romance
He walked up to her and he asked her to dance
I could see the old lovelight in her eyes
See the lovelight in her eyes
It took a while to say
How's your new love babe?

My heart was beating with a rage like thunder
And when I saw him I began to wonder
I could see the old lovelight in his eyes
See the lovelight in his eyes
It took a while to say
How's your new love babe?

Well in the middle of our summer romance
He walked up to her and he said, please give me another chance
I could see the old lovelight in her eyes
See the lovelight in her eyes
It took a while to say
How's your new love babe
Yes it did
Took a while to say
How's your new love babe
Ah yeah
Took a while to say
How's your new love babe

Surely there's a way I could please you
Only in your past lie the tears
Surely there's a day you can say went your way
Some illusion you can keep through the years

Only if I lied could I love you
Nothing of our lives could we share
Only could we try to get by on a sigh
Just because, just this once, I was there

So you think you're a Romeo
playing a part in a picture-show
Take the long way home
Take the long way home

Cos you're the joke of the neighborhood
Why should you care if you're feeling good
Take the long way home
Take the long way home

But there are times that you feel you're part of the scenery
all the greenery is comin' down, boy
And then your wife seems to think you're part of the
furniture oh, it's peculiar, she used to be so nice.

When lonely days turn to lonely nights
you take a trip to the city lights
And take the long way home
Take the long way home

You never see what you want to see
Forever playing to the gallery
You take the long way home
Take the long way home

And when you're up on the stage, it's so unbelievable,
unforgettable, how they adore you,
But then your wife seems to think you're losing your sanity,
oh, calamity, is there no way out?

Does it feel that you life's become a catastrophe?
Oh, it has to be for you to grow, boy.
When you look through the years and see what you could
have been oh, what might have been,
if you'd had more time.

So, when the day comes to settle down,
Who's to blame if you're not around?
You took the long way home
You took the long way home...........

When I was young
It seemed that life was so wonderful
A miracle, oh it was beautiful, magical
And all the birds in the trees
Well they'd be singing so happily
Oh joyfully, oh playfully watching me
But then they sent me away
To teach me how to be sensible
Logical, oh responsible, practical
And then they showed me a world
Where I could be so dependable
Oh clinical, oh intellectual, cynical

There are times when all the world's asleep
The questions run too deep
For such a simple man
Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned
I know it sounds absurd
Please tell me who I am

I say now watch what you say
Or they'll be calling you a radical
A liberal, oh fanatical, criminal
Oh won't you sign up your name
We'd like to feel you're acceptable
Respectable, oh presentable, a vegetable
Whoa (tick, tick, tick, yeah)

But at night when all the world's asleep
The questions run so deep
For such a simple man
Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned
I know it sounds absurd
But please tell me who I am, who I am, who I am, who I am

Look at me I'm a speck of sand, Tell me why do I care. And I'm building ,dreams in a strangers land Tell me why do I care Every time that I'm feeling down, oh they, Tell me where do we go from here. pick me up and they spin me round. Tell me where do we go, What are we gonna find out (find out) What are we gonna find out (find out) Leave the wilderness, and as long as there's dreams, Just as long as there's two of us, I'll carry on Just as long as there's two of us, Won't you hold me When is man gonna find out (find out) What the universe is just waiting to here, When are we gonna find out (find out) Just as long as there's two of us We'll carry on. Just as long as there's two of us Just as long as there's two of us,

When you're in heaven
What you gonna do?
You're gonna sit around a cloud and say
"Hey, what a lovely view"

Is there a reason, why you're like you are?
Is there a reason you'll be leaving?
Is my love out of season?
I wouldn't mind but to me that is Treason

You started laughing
When I held you in my arms
You started leaving
When I told you of my charms

I was in love with you and then you said, we're through
And then I said, "Boo hoo"
Was my tie not on straight?
Was it something I ate?

When you're in heaven
What you gonna do?
You're gonna sit around a cloud and say
"Hey, what a lovely view"

Is there a reason, why you're like you are?
Is there a reason you'll be leaving?
Is my love out of season?
I wouldn't mind but to me that is Treason

You started laughing
When I held you in my arms
You started leaving
When I told you of my charms

I was in love with you and then you said, we're through
And then I said, "Boo hoo"
Was my tie not on straight?
Was it something I ate?

You win, I lose
I beg, you choose
You're so cool and I'm confused
I'm me and you're you
You're so loose and I'm uptight
You're day, I'm night

Like two ships in the night in foggy weather,
Just a waitin' for fresh winds to blow.
Maybe we're losin' one another
I could be wrong I don't know

You get the best, I get the rest
You pass the test, I'm just a mess
You got it made, I'm in the shade
Like two ships in the night ...
Like two dopes in the boat, without a paddle
Just a wonderin' why it don't go
We could be losin' one another
I could be wrong I don't know

I know you're tryin' to phase me
It's gonna drive me crazy
I can't wait for the day when

I win, You lose
You beg and I choose
You're in the shade, I'm on parade

Like two ships in the night ...

Give it a word, give it a try
Why don't you sleep out, stop living high
You're on your own, your making bed
Now time for wasting, just look ahead

Your poopa don't mind what you do or say
You can't surprise him anymore
He's got a reputation and he don't know fad
Your poppa don't mind at all

He's getting old, he's getting late
It's soon tomorrow, so celebrate
Bring it out, and go to town
Before you're thinking, sell him now?

Your poopa don't mind what you do or say
You can't surprise him anymore
He don't believe in heaven like a good man should
Your poppa don't mind at all

Find him out, he's half a fun
When you find out, don't try to run
If you know, then you'll be gone
And if you don't know, it's still to come

Your poopa don't mind what you do or say
You can't surprise him anymore
He talked about his women and his old school tie
Your poppa don't mind at all

You can't surprise him anymore
He don't believe in heaven like a good man should
Your poppa don't mind at all
Your poppa don't mind at all
Your poppa don't mind at all

Why do I kid myself
Why do I scream for pleasure
It's four in the morning should know better
But she can weave a spell
Want it to last forever
Making me feel like somebody special

Can't carry on this way (just go to sleep)
Before it gets too late (just go to sleep)
Doing damage to my brain
Well here we go again

Though I look everywhere
I never seem to find it
Always a shadow around a corner
Drown it in alcohol
Stuck in the elevator
Hard to remember in the morning

Can't carry on this way (just go to sleep)
Before it gets too late (just go to sleep)
Doing damage to my brain
Well here we go again

Tell you about myself
If you're in the mood to listen
Baby you don't know who you're kissing
This is a lonely world
You are a strange companion
When you get what you wanted
You want to leave

Honestly I want to free myself
From the burden of inaction
Honestly I want to raise myself
To any plane I can imagine

Can't carry on this way (just go to sleep)
Before it gets too late (just go to sleep)
Doing damage to my brain
Well here we go again

There is freedom within
There is freedom without
Try to catch the deluge in a paper cup
There's a battle ahead
Many battles are lost
But you'll never see the end of the road while you're traveling with me

Hey now, hey now
Don't dream it's over
Hey now, hey now
When the world comes in
They come, they come
To build a wall between us
We know that they won't win

Now I'm towing my car
There's a hole in the roof
My possessions are causing me suspicion, but there's no proof
In the paper today
Tales of war and of waste
But you turn right over to the TV page

Hey now, hey now
Don't dream it's over
Hey now, hey now
When the world comes in
They come, they come
To build a wall between us
We know that they won't win


Now I'm walking again
To the beat of a drum
And I'm counting the steps to the door of your heart
Only shadows ahead
Barely clearing the roof
Get to know the feeling of liberation and release

Hey now, hey now
Don't dream it's over
Hey now, hey now
When the world comes in
They come, they come
To build a wall between us
You know that they won't win

Don't let them win
(Hey now, hey now)

Hey now, hey now

Hey now, hey now
Don't let them win

(They come, they come)
Don't let them win

(Hey now, hey now) yeah

(Hey now, hey now)

There's a hole in the river where my auntie lies
From the land of the living to the air and sky
Left her car by the river left her shoes beside
Through the thorns and the bushes I hope she was ...

Dreaming of glory
Miles above the mountains and plains
Free at last

We were touched by a cold wind, my father and I
The sound of desperate breathing her fear inside us all
She was coming to see him but something changed her mind
Drove her down to the river
There is no return

There's a hole in the river where a memory lies
From the land of the living to the air and sky
She was coming to see him
But something changed her mind,
drove her down to the river
There is no return

You came
Out of this world to me
My life
Parted like the Red Sea
We flowed
Easy between the rocks and stones
Never seemed to stop us
The years
Ended in confusion
Don't ask me I don't know what happened
But I am
A man with a mission
Must be the devil I don't know
It's hard to let go
Of all that we know
As I walk away from you
Hurled from my home
Into the unknown
As I walk away from you

Reveal whatever you desire
To you it may be death defying
Black day
In the coldness of winter
Black words
Slipping off my tongue
I say forget it--it's over
As a dark cloud covered up the sun

It's hard to let go
Of all that we know
As I walk away from you
The sun always sets
With room for regrets
As I walk away from you

Give it to me
Give it to me
Your inspiration
Give to receive
Find all we need
As I walk away

Just a slave to ambition
Tension your permanent condition
So much you've always wanted
Too much givin' you a sore head

There's closets in my head where dirty things are kept
That never see the light of day
I want to drag them out, go for a walk
Just to see the look that's on your face
Sometimes I can't be straight I don't want to hurt you
So forgive me if I tell a lie
Sometimes I come on cold but don't believe it
I will love you till the day I die

I believe in doing things backwards
Take heed, start doing things in reverse

Here comes trouble, there's nothing wrong when I relax
I'm talking to myself you're coming with me
Teaching you how to distort the facts
Sometimes I can't be straight I don't want to hurt you
So forgive me if I tell a lie
Sometimes I come on cold but don't believe it
I will love you till the day I die


I believe in doing things backwards
Take heed, start doing things in reverse

Frost on the window pane, the sound of pouring rain
All makes me glad of you
Though I am far away I am always with you
Know the answer before you know the question
Pull yourself together, baby, push with all you might
I'm all alone, always alone
Though I am far away
I am always with you

She came all the way from America
Had a blind date with destiny
And the sound of Te Awamutu
Had a truly sacred ring
Now her parents are divorced
And her friend's committing suicide

I could not escape
A plea from the heart
You know what it means to me
She said don't walk away
I'm down on my knees
So please don't be mean to me

So I talked to you for an hour
In the bar of a small town hotel
You asked me what I was thinking
I was thinking of a padded cell
With a black and white T.V.
To stop us from getting lonely

I could not escape
A plea from the heart
You know what it means to me
She said don't walk away
I'm down on my knees
So please don't be mean to me
No, I could not escape
A plea from the heart
Mysterious sympathy
I couldn't wait for a chance
To walk out the door
You know what it means to me

I saw you lying in the arms of a poet
I heard him tell you t...tantalizing lies
(about me)
Well whad'd'ya know, whad'd'ya know

I could not escape
You're down on the floor
You know what it means to me
I couldn't wait for a chance
To walk out the door
Mean ...
You know what it means
In the arms of a poet
You know what it means

It never used to be that bad
But neither was it great
Somewhere in the middle then
Content and much too safe
Oh tell me please
Why it takes so long
To realise when there's something wrong

Chorus:
Lay me out with your heart
Now we're getting somewhere
Push me back to the start
Now we're getting somewhere
Take me out let me breathe
Now we're getting somewhere
When I'm with you I don't care
Where it is I'm falling

There's money in the Bible Belt
Hugs for daddy too
Three wishes for eternity
We've got some work to do
Oh tell me please, tell me what went wrong
Cos I believe there is something wrong

Chorus

When you took me to your room
I swear I said surrender
When you opened up your mouth
I saw the words fall out
Though nothing much has changed
I swear I will surrender
There is pain in me heart
We can choose what we choose to believe

Love can make you weep, it can make you run for cover
Roots that spread so deep, bring life to frozen ground
(Something so strong) could carry us away
(Something so strong) could carry us today
Turning in my sleep, love can leave you cold
The taste of jealousy, is like a lust for gold
(Something so strong) could carry us away
(Something so strong) could carry us today
(I've been) feeling so much older
(Frame me) and hang me on the wall
(I've seen) you fall into the same trap
(This thing) is happening to us all
(Bridge)
(Something so strong) could carry us away
(Something so strong) could carry us today
(Something so strong)
(Something so strong)
(Something so strong)
Something something so strong

You take away my air
You make my lungs collapse
I die tonight

Feeling devastated
That's what I call
Livin' in your memory
That's what I call
Tired and deflated
That's what I call
Love

I tidy up your room
You tidy up my life
Show me the door

I'm abandoned here
I'm warm to the core
I can feel
You sink I swim
We never got in that deep
You bend I break
I die tonight

Feeling devastated
That's what I call
Hangin' on and falling over
That's what I call
Tired and deflated
That's what I call
Love

I got a little room
The air's still pretty bad
I die tonight

Feeling devastated
That's what I call
Hanging on and falling over
That's what I call
Tired and deflated
That's what I call
Feeling devastated
That's
Living with a vacuum cleaner
What
Sweepin' up your memory
I call love

Look at all the plans I made
Falling down like scraps of paper
I will leave them where they lie to remind me
From the past a rumour comes
Don't let it keep draggin' you down
Throw the memory in an open fire
You'll be free

Roll back the tombstone
Let the saints appear
Roll back the tombstone
Make a new man out of me

Beware the passenger
The train already left the station
We are neither at home nor at work
We are moving
Listen to the howling of steel
A face betraying no emotion
Like you never had a chance to be
Wild and free

Roll back the tombstone
Let the saints appear
Roll back the tombstone
Till the Lone Ranger rides again
Rides again in your mind

Rode across the open plain
All the way and back again

Here's someone now whose got the muscle
His steady hand could move a mountain
Expert in bed but come on now
There must be something missing
That golden one leads a double life
You'll find out
But I don't know where you go
Do you climb into space
To the world where you live
The world where you live
So here we lie against each other
These four walls can never hold us
We're looking for wide open spaces
High above the kitchen
And we're strangers here
On our way to some other place
But I don't know where you go
Do you climb into space
To the world where you live
The world where you live
The world where you live

When friends come round
You might remember and be sad
Behind their eyes is unfamiliar
Do you climb into space
To the world where you live
The world where you live ...

Well, I don't care
About the summer rain
I know it's good for the garden
Don't care what blue skies

They turn to gray
When you come around
And try to run me down
Storm clouds darken, yeah

I don't get down when the fields go brown
It's just a charm of the season
Well, things in nature have their reason
But when you come along and try to do me wrong

Well, the first time, I'll ignore it
But don't you push beyond the pale
But then you're gonna find
There's no more water in the well

And you may think you're gonna walk
Right all well over me
But there's a sting in the tail
Of this honey bee

The wind blows cold as the year grows old
Yeah, that's just the natural way it goes
I feel a chill from my head down to my toes
Each time you call my name and tell me I'm to blame

Well, the first time, I'll ignore it
But don't you push beyond the pale
But then you're gonna find
There's no more water in the well

And you may think you're gonna walk
Right all over me
But there's a sting in the tail
Of this honey bee

I said the first time I'll ignore it
But don't you push beyond the pale
And then you're gonna find
There's no more water in the well

You may think you're gonna walk
Right all over me
There's a sting in the tail
Of this honey bee

Yes, there's a sting in the tail
Well, the cold wind's gonna blow
Let it rain, let it snow
And don't give me your grief
I can't take it anymore

Well, I don't care
About the summer rain
I know it's good for the garden
Don't care what blue skies

Not everyone in New York would pay to see Andrew Lloyd Webber
May his trousers fall down as he bows to the queen and the crown
I don't know what tune that the orchestra played
But it went by me sickly and sentimental

Can I have another piece of chocolate cake?
Tammy Baker's got a lot on her plate
Can I buy another cheap Picasso fake?
Andy Warhol must be laughing in his grave

The band of the night take you to ethereal heights over dinner
And you wander the streets never reaching the heights that you seek
And the sugar that dripped from the violins' bow
Made the children go crazy, put a hole in the tooth of a hag

Can I have another piece of chocolate cake?
Tammy Baker must be losing her faith, yeah
Can I buy another cheap Picasso fake?
Andy Warhol must be laughing in his grave

And the dogs are on the road, we're all tempting fate
Cars shooting by with no number plates
And hear comes Mrs. Hairy Legs

I saw Elvis Presley walk out of a Seven Eleven
And a woman gave birth to a baby and then bowled 257
The excess of fat on your American bones
Will cushion the impact as you sink like a stone

Can I have another piece of chocolate cake?
Tammy Baker, Tammy Baker
Can I buy another cheap Picasso fake?
Cheap Picasso, cheap Picasso fake
Can I have another piece of chocolate cake?
Kathy Straker, boy, could she lose some weight
Can I buy another slice of real estate?
Liberace must be laughing in his grave

Can I have another piece of chocolate cake?
Can I have another piece of chocolate cake?
Can I have another piece of chocolate cake?
Can I have another piece of chocolate cake?

I thought it was about time something newer than Woodface was
put into the archive. The first single from the new
"probably-better-than-Woodface-after-all" album :


Tell me all the things you would change
I don't pretend to know what you want
When you come around and spin my top
Time and again, time and again

No fire where I lit my spark
I am not afraid of the dark
When your words devour my heart
And put me to shame, put me to shame

[Chorus:
When your seven worlds collide
Whenever I am by your side
And dust from a distant sun
Will shower over everyone]

You're still so young to travel so far
Old enough to know who you are
Wise enough to carry the scars
Without any blame, there's no-one to blame

It's easy to forget what you learnt
Waiting for the thrill to return
Feeling your desire burn
And drawn to the flame

[Chorus]
Dust from a distant sun
Will shower over everyone

And I'm lying on the table washed out in the flood
Like a Christian fearing vengeance from above
I don't pretend to know what you want
But I offer love...

Seven worlds will collide
Whenever I am by your side
Dust from a distant sun
Will shower over everyone

As time slips by
And your mind
And your mind
As time slips by

There is freedom within, there is freedom without
Try to catch the deluge in a paper cup
There's a battle ahead, many battles are lost
But you'll never see the end of the road
While you're traveling with me

Hey now, hey now
Don't dream it's over
Hey now, hey now
When the world comes in
They come, they come
To build a wall between us
We know they won't win

Now I'm towing my car, there's a hole in the roof
My possessions are causing me suspicion but there's no proof
In the paper today tales of war and of waste
But you turn right over to the T.V. page

Now I'm walking again to the beat of a drum
And I'm counting the steps to the door of your heart
Only shadows ahead barely clearing the roof
Get to know the feeling of liberation and relief

Hey now, hey now
Don't dream it's over
Hey now, hey now
When the world comes in
They come, they come
To build a wall between us
Don't ever let them win

Can you imagine this
An itch to sensitive to scratch
The light that falls through the cracks
An insect to delicate to catch
I hear the endless murmur
Every blade of grass that shivers in the breeze
And the sound that comes to carry me
Across the land and over the sea
And I can't look up
Fingers of love move down
And I can't look back
Fingers of love move down
Colour is its own reward
Colour is its own reward
The chiming of a perfect chord
Let's go jumping overboard
Into waves of joy and clarity
Your hands come out to rescue me
And I'm playing in the shallow water
Laughing while the mad dog sleeps
And I can't look up
Fingers of love move down
And I won't be hit
Fingers of love move everywhere
There is time yet
Fall by the way
From the cradle to the grave
From a palace to the gutter
From beneath the dying waves
To the sun like fingers of love
Through waves of joy and clarity
A fallen angel walked on the sea
And I'm playing in the shallow water
Laughing while the mad dog sleeps
And I can't look up
Fingers of love move down
And I won't be hit
Fingers of love move everywhere
There is time yet
For you to find me
And all I want
Fingers of love move down.

There's a hole in the river where my auntie lies
From the land of the living to the air and sky
Left her car by the river left her shoes beside
Through the thorns and the bushes I hope she was ...

Dreaming of glory
Miles above the mountains and plains
Free at last

We were touched by a cold wind, my father and I
The sound of desperate breathing her fear inside us all
She was coming to see him but something changed her mind
Drove her down to the river
There is no return

There's a hole in the river where a memory lies
From the land of the living to the air and sky
She was coming to see him
But something changed her mind,
drove her down to the river
There is no return

Ice will melt, water will boil
You and I can shake of this mortal coil
It's bigger than us
You don't have to worry about it

Ready or not, here comes the drop
You feel lucky when you know where you are
You know it's gonna come true
Here in your arms I remember

It's only natural that I should want to be there with you
It's only natural that you should feel the same way too

It's easy when you don't try going on first impressions
Man in a cage has made his confession now
You've seen me at my worst
And it won't be the last time I'm down there

I want you to know I feel completely at ease
Read me like a book that's fallen down
Between your knees, please
Let me have my way with you

It's only natural that I should want to be there with you
It's only natural that you should feel the same way too
It's circumstantial, it's nothing written in the sky
And we don't even have to try

But we'll be shaking like mud, buildings of glass
Sink in to the bay, they'll be under the rocks again
You don't have to say
I know you're afraid

It's only natural that I should want to be there with you
It's only natural that you should feel the same way too
It's circumstantial, it's something I was born to
It's only natural, can I help it if I want to

My life is a house
You crawl through the window
Skip across the floor and into the reception room
You enter the place of endless persuasion
Like a knock on the door
When there's ten or more things to do
Who is that calling?
You my companion
Run to the water on a burning beach
And it brings me relief
Pass through the walls
To find my intentions
Circle 'round in a strange, hypnotic state
I look into space
There is no connection
A million points of light
And a conversation I can't face
Cast me off one day
To lose my inhibition
Sit like a lap dog on the edge of his knee
Wear the nails on your feet
I woke up the house
Stumbled in sideways
The lights went on and everybody screamed ""Surprise!""
The savage review
It left me gasping
But it warms my heart to see that you can do it too
Total surrender
Your touch is so tender
Your skin is like water on a burning beach
And it brings me relief, it brings me relief,
it brings me relief
Like a night in your mind
It brings me relief
In the back door
Under the stars
And the scenery is my flaw
In the back room
Under the stars
And the scenery is my flaw

Don't stand around
Like friends at a funeral
Eyes to the ground
It could've been you
And why do you weep
For the passing of ages?
You slip with the back of your hand, you're taking it out on the one you love
I couldn't believe it

And we might still survive
And rise up through the maze
If you could change your life
And never be the same

How long must I wait
For you to release me?
I pay for each mistake
While you suffer in silence
I could still have an easy life
But the lie ain't worth the living
Once more will I hear you say

That we might still survive
And rise up through the maze
If you could change your life
And never be the same
Never be the same

Don't stand around
Like friends at a funeral
Eyes to the ground
Don't suffer in silence

'Cause we might still survive
And rise up through the maze
If you could change your life
And never be the same
(And every time I hear you)
Never be the same
(And every time I mess up)
Never be the same
Never be the same
Never be the same

And every time I hear you
And every time I mess up
Never be, never be, never be, never be the same

Now, you're heading down to get someone
Should've done what he had to do years ago
The position is coming through
All the people that you're standing on
All the people that you're standing on

Now, you're heading down to be someone
Someone that you've seen in a magazine
Your premonition is coming true
Oh, baby, you're not so green
No, baby, you're not so green
No, baby, you're nutso

CHORUS
Sister madly waking up the dead
Systematically stepping on my head
'Cause sister madly waking up the dead
Systematically stepping on my head

Now, you're heading down to find something
Something that you buried in your backyard
The position is coming through
From all the dirt that you're digging up
From all the dirt that you're digging up

Now, you're heading down to be somewhere
Somewhere you imagined in your wildest dream
The opposition is coming through
From all the people that you're standing on
From all the people that you're standing on
And now, you'd better take a firm hand

CHORUS

Now, you're heading down to get someone
Someone that you should've had years ago
The position is coming through
All the people that you're standing on
All the people that you're standing on
You're hard to get a hand on

CHORUS

Love can make you weep, it can make you run for cover
Roots that spread so deep, bring life to frozen ground
(Something so strong) could carry us away
(Something so strong) could carry us today
Turning in my sleep, love can leave you cold
The taste of jealousy, is like a lust for gold
(Something so strong) could carry us away
(Something so strong) could carry us today
(I've been) feeling so much older
(Frame me) and hang me on the wall
(I've seen) you fall into the same trap
(This thing) is happening to us all
(Bridge)
(Something so strong) could carry us away
(Something so strong) could carry us today
(Something so strong)
(Something so strong)
(Something so strong)
Something something so strong

Walking 'round the room singing
Stormy Weather
at 57 Mt. Pleasant St.
Now it's the same room but everything's different
You can fight the sleep but not the dream

Things ain't cookin' in my kitchen
Strange affliction wash over me
Julius Caesar and the Roman Empire
Couldn't conquer the blue sky

There's a small boat made of china
Going nowhere on the mantlepiece
Do I lie like a loungeroom lizard
Or do I sing like a bird released

Everywhere you go you always take the weather with you

When you come across the sea
Me like a beacon guiding you to safety
The sooner the better now
And when you come the hills
Will breathe like a baby
Pulled up heaving from the bottom of the ocean
The sooner the better now
When you come to cover me with your kisses
Fresh like a daisy chained up in a lion's den
I'll know you by the thunderclap
Pouring like rain of blood to my emotions

Chorus:
And that is why
I stumble to my knees
And why underneath the heavens
With the stars burning and exploding
I know I could never let you down

When you come like an iceberg float in darkness
Smashing my hull send me to the bottom of the sea
I should know you better now
When you come your majesty to entrap me
Prince of light receding
The sooner the better now
And when you come to cover me
With your kisses hard like armour
The sooner the better now
I'll know you by the thunderclap
Pouring like a rain of blood to my emotions

(chorus)

She came out of the water
Into my horizon
Like a cumulo nimbus
Coming in from a distance
Burning and exploding
Burning and exploding
Like a slow volcano
When you come
Cover the ground with ashes
When you come

Jimmy Cream was keen, his brain wal always winnin',
I can't keep tabs on mine, it's really quite a joke
I see him down the road, I ask if he'd be willing
Don't arrange to have me sent to no asylum
To lend me 15p - I'm dying for a smoke
It's a just a game I play for fun - for fun.
I'm just as sane as anyone
I told em - look! - I said I'm not the way you're thinkin,
Just when I'm down, I'll be a clown, I'll play the fool.
Please don't arrange to have me set to no asylum
Will he take a sailboat ride?
It's just a game I play for fun - for fun.
He is very likely to,
Will he feel good inside?
He ain't very likely to,
Will he tell you he's alive?
He is always trying to
In the morning when the day's begun
But nothin', no nothin', does he say
And in the evening or the noonday sun
- "Hello Good morning, how are you?"
- "What a lovely afternoon!"
Well I've been living next to you
I mock them all, they're feelin' small, they got no answer

When they haunt me and taunt me in my cage.
Bluesy Monday is the one day that they come here,
Don't arrange to have me sent to no asylum
They're playin' dumb but I'm just lauging as they rage
It's only a game I play for fun
I've been foolin' everyone - everyone.
Will he take a sailboat ride?
Will he fool good insidie?
He is very likely to
Will he tell you he's alive?
He ain't ever likely to
He is always tryin' to
In the morning when the day's begun
But nothin', no nothin' does he vere say
- "Do you think it looks like rain"?
And in the evening or the noonday sun
Well I've been living next to you my friend
- "You know I nearly missed my train"
But what kind of friend are you?
Is it the beginning or the sorry end?
Will I ever see it through?
I've never been insane
Oh what's the game?
I believe I'm dying...
He's mad, mad, mad...
Oooooooooo..........Not quite right...

So you think your schooling's phoney
I guess it's hard not to agree
You say it all depends on money
And who is in your family tree
Right, you're bloody well right
you know you got a right to say
Right, you're bloody well right
you know you got a right to say
Ha-ha you're bloody well right
you know you're right to say
Yeah-yeah you're bloody well right
you know you're right to say
Me, I don't care anyway!
Write your problems down in detail
Take them to a higher place
You've had your cry - no, I should say wail
In the meantime hush your face
Right, quite right, you're bloody well right... etc.

Now they're planning the crime of the century
Well what will it be?
Read all about their schemes and adventuring
It's well worth the fee
So roll up and see
And they rape the universe
How they've gone from bad to worse
Who are these men of lust, greed, and

Dreamer, you know you are a dreamer
Well can you put your hands in your head, oh no!
I said dreamer, you're nothing but a dreamer
Well can you put your hands in your head, oh no!
I said "Far out, - What a day, a year, a laugh it is!"
You know, - Well you know you had it comin' to you,
Now there's not a lot I can do

Dreamer, you stupid little dreamer;
So now you put your head in your hands, oh no!
I said "Far out, - What a day, a year, a laugh it is!"
You know, - Well you know you had it comin' to you,
Now there's not a lot I can do.

Well work it out someday

If I could see something
You can see anything you want boy
If I could be someone-
You can be anyone, celebrate boy.
If I could do something-
Well you can do something,
If I could do anything-
Well can you do something out of this world?

Take a dream on a Sunday
Take a life, take a holiday
Take a lie, take a dreamer
dream, dream, dream, dream, dream along...

Dreamer, you know you are a dreamer
Well can you put your hands in your head, oh no!
I said dreamer, you're nothing but a dreamer
Well can you put your hands in your head, oh no!
OH NO!

Hide in your shell cos the world is out to bleed you for a ride
What will you gain making your life a little longer?
Heaven or Hell, was the journey cold that gave your eyes of steel?
Shelter behind painting your mind and playing joker

Too Frightening to listen to a stranger
Too Beautiful to put your pride in danger
You're waiting for someone to understand you
But you've got demons in your closet
And you're screaming out to stop it
Saying life's begun to cheat you
Friends are out to beat you
Grab on to what you scramble for

Don't let the tears linger on inside now
Cos it's sure time you gained control
If I can help you, if I can help you
If I can help you, just let me know
Well, let me show you the nearest signpost
To get your heartback and on the road
If I can help you, if I can help you
If I can help you, just let me know.

All through the night as you lie awake and hold yourself so tight
What do you need, a second-hand-movie-star to tend you?
I as a boy, I believed the saying the cure for pain was love
How would it be if you could see the world through my eyes?

Too Frightening- the fire's getting colder
Too Beautiful- to think you're getting older
You're looking for someone to give an answer.
But what you see is just an illusion
You're surrounded by confusion
Saying life's begun to cheat you
Friends are out to beat you
Grab on to what you can scramble for
Don't let the tears...
... just let me know
I wanna know...
I wanna know you...
Well let me know you
I wanna feel you
I wanna touch you
Please let me near you
Can you hear what I'm saying?
Well I'm hoping, I'm dreamin', I'm prayin'
I know what you're thinkin'
See what you're seein'
Never ever let yourself go

Hold yourself down, hold yourself down
Why d'ya hold yourself down?
Why don't you listen, you can
Trust me,
There's a place I know the way to
A place there is need to feel you
Feel that you're alone
Hear me
I know exactly what you're feelin'
cos all your troubles are within you
please begin to see that I'm just bleeding to
Love me, love you
Loving is the way to Help me, help you
- Why must we be so cool, oh so cool?
Oh, we're such damn fools...

The actors and jesters are here
The stage is in darkness and clear
For raising the curtain
and no-one's quite certain whose play it is
How long ago, how long
If only we had listened then.
If we'd known just how right we were going to be.
For we dreamed a lot
And we schemed a lot
And we tried to sing of love before the stage fell apart.

If everyone was listening you know
There'd be a chance that we could save the show
Who'll be the last clown
To bring the house down?
Oh no, please no, don't let the curtain fall

Well, what is your costume today?
Who are the props in your play?
You're acting a part which you thought from the start
was an honest one.
Well how do you plead?
An actor indeed!
Go re-learn your lines,
You don't know what you've done
The finale's begun.

If everyone was listening you know
There'd be a chance that we could save the show,
Who'll be the last clown
To bring the house down?
Oh no, please no, don't let the curtain fall

Rudy's on a train to nowhere, halfway down the line
He don't wanna get there, but he needs time
He ain't sophisticated, nor well-educated
After all the hours he's wasted, still he needs time
He needs time - he needs time for livin'
He needs time - for so

I can see you in the morning when you go to school
Don't forget your books, you know you've got to learn the golden rule,
Teacher tells you stop your play and get on with your work
And be like Johnnie - too-good, well don't you know he never shirks
- he's coming along!

After school is over you're playing in the park
Don't be out too late, don't let it get too dark
They tell you not to hang around and learn what life's about
And grow up just like them - won't you let it work it out
- and you're full of doubt

Don't do this and don't do that
What are they trying to do? Make a good boy of you
Do they know where it's at?
Don't criticize, they're old and wise
Do as they tell you to
Don't want the devil to
Come and put out your eyes

Maybe I'm mistaken expecting you to fight
Or maybe I'm just crazy, I don't know wrong from right
But while I am still living, I've just got this to say
It's always up to you if you want to be that
want to see that
want to see it that way
- you're coming along!

Black and white boy
black and white boy
you're so extreme
you're so confused
color me in whatever mood I'm in
I could be still in touch with you
And you're full of the wonder of spring
it's all sweetness and lightness you bring
and a room full of people fall to your infinite charm
but when darkness should quickly descend
you go quietly, my miserable friend
to the depths of despair you will crawl
black and white boy
Black and white boy
black and white boy
you're so extreme
you're so confused
color me in
whatever mood I'm in
I could be still
in touch with you
When you shake off the shadows of night
and your eyes are so clear and so bright
you'll make fools of the liars and creeps
put a rose in my cheeks
but when demons have climbed on your back
you are vicious and quick to attack
and you put on a wonderful show
do you really, really think I don't know?
black and white boy
And you run like a cat to the cream
and you're acting so nice it's obscene
you put on a wonderful show
do you really, really think I don't know?
black and white boy .

No night to stay in
Bad moon is rising again
Dice rolls
And you burn
Come down I fear
As that cold wheel turns
I know what I know
Sad Claude's been sleeping around
To stroke the right nerve
Whose needs do I serve
As Catherine's wheel turns
She was always the first to say gone
she's got her catherine wheels on
Always the first to say gone
Go kindly with him
To his blind apparition
His face creases up
With age gone grey
He'll back here one day
She was always the first to say gone
she's got her catherine wheels on
Always the first to say gone
She's got her catherine wheels on
Wheels on
Catherine wheels
She's gone
Vanished in the night
Broke off the logic of light
He woke
Tore the covers back
Found he was empty inside
So they were told
When the moon would rise
The best time to leave with your soul
She's gone
But towards the light
Watching her whole life unfold
Bruises come out dark
So strong was his hold on her
Regarded by some as his slave
He spoke as in a stranger's tongue
Despair us and drive you away
Bruises come out dark
