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 |

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 |

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 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 |

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 |

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.

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?

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 |

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 |

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 |

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

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........... |

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 |

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 ...

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 |

Goin' through my life, day by day Wonderin' why and what road it'll take Sometimes low and sometimes high Well I've been seaching far and wide Tryin' find a reason to live by And I've been watching the moon above Over the water beyond the sky Smiling down at me, what's he thinkin' of What's he thinkin' way up in the sky Bet he could tell me where my future lies There ain't no promise, or guarantee Ain't no wisdom being laid on me And it's a low down dirty shame I ain't foolin' around But I gotta find the answer just the same Nobody cares Oh I'm going to find it ... I got a feelin' Uhuh Woo hoo hoo And now I need a drink, it's going to be on you Well I've been playin' the Dead Man's Blues The day of judgement ain't far away Mnnn.. yeah that's hard to say... But who'll be the judge, it's hard to say...

Bless my heart and soul I've discovered gold Get the ship afloat A rock and roll the boat Spread the news around Let's get into town I am living down by the creek Getting mired in the mud I feel the cold in my blood No liquor for a week On her knees in the sludge Here's a very busy lady Well I do believe she's crazy You know she's working like a drudge Bless my heart and soul She's discovered gold Spread the news around Get the ship afloat A rock and roll the boat And let's get into town Even though she smelt like a drain She's an angel to me Her intentions are plain And the whiskey is free Keep it cool in the dirt Breaking out another bottle Well it's a water baby heaven I got the papers in my shirt We've discovered gold Bless my heart and soul Spread the news around A rock and roll the boat Get the ship afloat And let's get into town We've discovered gold Bless my heart and soul Spread the news around A rock and roll the boat And let's get into town Get the ship afloat You work hard all your life little honey But you can't afford to save any money You lay it down you leave the town To see what you could find For more than 20 years you're a diggin' It's a piece of change just like a mountain range Then you can't believe what you are a pickin' Whoopee we're gonna lay it down

Slow motion, slow motion baby We want our love to last Everything?s so right, why try to go so fast It?s easy to lose sight and then the moments passed Go easy, go easy baby You know there?s time for us Even though this world seems to be speeding up Because we need to draw the line Maybe we can try to slow things down Because we need to sip the wine Because the clock is running, and it?s going so fast Because we need to make the time It?s here today and there?s no turning back The future?s coming but it?s soon the past Go lightly, go lightly baby In time we?ll find a way It?s never over ?till it?s over Why rush it through? Never pausing to admire the view then we can rest awhile If we?re gonna go, we?re gonna go in style Isn?t that what life is all abour? Slow motion, well if we get tired SUBMITTED BY STUDIO KAMI

Well now how you doin' do I know you Are you living round here or just passing through Seems like I met you before well how you do Take care while you're in there, the lights are low Though the gals are good, they're not the kind you want to know Just sit back, and drink a stiff one - enjoy the show Cos I'm in my disguise they'll never get wise They got nothing on me, nothing I can see, nothing that could do me wrong One hit that'll do you. You won't look back Ain't nothing that can cause alarm You'll be feeling no pain. Put you right on track Let's go to a new place, the lights look good Why don't you do it again ah now you're getting the knack Reflecting the rain across the neighbourhood Who's that over there, looks like he's up to no good "Hey what you doing to me, is that a knife that I see Well are you trying to bring me down I'm a tryin' to run but my legs are all numb It's like I'm messin' with the wrong side of town" You're on the wrong station, you're on the wrong track You're getting a shake down, unlucky for you You've lost your reservation, now you can't get back Tenth Avenue breakdown... "It's getting rough, just too tough I've got to go, I feel so low, just can't wait I'm all abused and so confused It's gettin' late..." Spoken: {Policeman's words] Get down now... Put your hands behind your head...... You have the right to remain silent .... Anything you say can be used against you .... "Don't know who came he just set upon me It's kind of vague and I'm, I'm kind of groggy But you must believe me, he just stopped breathing I know it wasn't me" I didn't do it, it wasn't me It's gettin' late we can't afford to wait [repeat] Gettin' late we can't afford to wait You're on the wrong station, you're on the wrong track You lost your reservation and you can't get back Tenth Avenue breakdown You're getting to shake down, unlucky for you It's getting rough, it's just too tough I've got to go, feel so low I'm all abused and so confused Just can't wait

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? |

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 |

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... |

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 |

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 |
