Steve Winwood [기타,키보드,보컬]

Say, it's all right, (it's all right)
Say, it's all right, (it's all right)
It's all right, have a good time,
'Cos it's all right, whoa it's all right

We're gonna move it slow when lights are low
When you move it slow ?
'Cos it's all right, whoa it's all right

Now listen to the beat and tap your feet
You got soul, everybody knows
That it's all right, whoa it's all right

When you wake up early in the morning
Feeling sad like so many of us do
Have a little soul ?
But surely someone's got to come to you

Mmmmmm (It's all right)
Say, it's all right, (it's all right)
It's all right, have a good time,
'Cos it's all right, whoa it's all right

Everybody clap your hands, give yourself a chance
You got soul, everybody knows
That it's all right, whoa it's all right

One day I found me a woman and she loved and treated me nice
When my ? from morning to the night

Mmmmmm (It's all right)
Say, it's all right, (it's all right)
It's all right, have a good time,
'Cos it's all right, whoa it's all right

Everybody clap your hands, give yourself a chance
You got soul, everybody knows
That it's all right, whoa it's all right

Deep in the night
The winds blow cold
And in a heartbeat
The fear takes hold

Deep in the storm
There's a place that's soft and still
Where the road waits to be taken
If you only will

The voices inside you
Can lead your soul astray
Believe in what you dream
Don't turn away
Don't you turn away

Reach for the light
You might touch the sky
Stand on the mountaintop
And see yourself flying
Reach for the light
To capture a star
Come out of the darkness
And find out who you are

Somewhere in time
The truth shines through
And the spirit knows
What it has to do

Somewhere in you
There's a power with no name
It can rise to meet the moment
And burn like a flame

And you can be stronger
Than anything you know
Hold on to what you see
Don't let it go
Don't you let it go

Now, there's no turning back
When your destiny is calling
Listen to the thunder roll
And let your heart break free

Reach for the light

Deep in the night
The winds blow cold
And in a heartbeat
The fear takes hold

Deep in the storm
There's a place that's soft and still
Where the road waits to be taken
If you only will

The voices inside you
Can lead your soul astray
Believe in what you dream
Don't turn away
Don't you turn away

Reach for the light
You might touch the sky
Stand on the mountaintop
And see yourself flying
Reach for the light
To capture a star
Come out of the darkness
And find out who you are

Somewhere in time
The truth shines through
And the spirit knows
What it has to do

Somewhere in you
There's a power with no name
It can rise to meet the moment
And burn like a flame

And you can be stronger
Than anything you know
Hold on to what you see
Don't let it go
Don't you let it go

Now, there's no turning back
When your destiny is calling
Listen to the thunder roll
And let your heart break free

Reach for the light

When life is too much, roll with it, baby
Don't stop and lose your touch, oh no, baby
Hard times knocking on your door, I'll tell them you ain't there no more
Get on through it, roll with it, baby
Luck'll come and then slip away, you've gotta move, bring it back to
stay

You just roll with it, baby, come on and just roll with it, baby
You and me, roll with it, baby, hang on and just roll with it, baby

The way that you love is good as money
I swear by stars above, sweet as honey
People think you're down and out, you show them what it's all about
You can make it, roll with it, baby
When this world turns its back on you, hang in and do that sweet thing
you do

You just roll with it, baby, you just roll with it, baby
Come on and just roll with it, baby, you and me, just roll with it, baby

Now there'll be a day you'll get there, baby, you'll hear the music
play, you'll dance, baby
You'll leave bad times way behind, nothing but good times on your mind
You can do it, roll with it, baby
Then you'll see life will be so nice, it's just a step up to paradise
You just roll with it, baby, you just roll with it, baby
You and me, just roll with it, baby, Come on and just roll with it, baby

Used to live in teh danger zone
Any day it oculd get too rough
Now I'm glad I kept holding on
Now I'm glad I had soul enough

You turned night into day
And showed me how my soul could sing
You took my hurt away
And showed me love conquers anything

When two hearts both feel the same
There's a way to beat the game

Holding on - Now I'm standing in the light
Holding on - And this time I"ll get it right
Holding on - Every day and every night
Holding on

Fall asleep in your lover's arms
And it's just like it ought to be
Just be thankful she keeps you warm
In a world where there's nothing free

Give her love every day
And pay attention when she dreams
And she'll be good to you
Cause sometimes love is just what it seems

When two hearts both feel the same
There's a way to beat the game

Holding on - Now I'm standing in the light
Holding on - And this time I'll get it right
Holding on - Every day and every night
Holding on

See the mountain water keep flowing down
Into streams
Now it holds on forever
We'll be holding on forever

People sould searching all night long
For a reason to help them live
And I do hope they hear the song
Get through take and you get to give

It can be in a smile
It can be there in a touch
It warms the world a while
When it's love it can't be too much

You meet every kind of person moving toward the morning side
You see the good and the bad, the eyes are sad
You play every midnight gambler before you see the light
On the morning side, the morning side

You feel every heat and passion moving towards the morning side
To earn one more second chance, you learn the dance
When you finally climb the mountain, you see the other side
It's the morning side, the morning side

Now my life has changed and now my eyes can see
Now I'm living on the morning side
Now I'm letting all the sunlight into me
Now I'm free

And I know I'll never pass that way again
That dark journey to the morning side
On the morning side I feel my life begin
Let's begin

So much going on out there
Leaves us hanging in the air
And it's all that we can do
To face each day and see it through

Life's a dance
Put on your dancing shoes, take a chance

You can't shut your eyes to pain
Faces crying in the rain
You can't keep it all inside
You need some way to let it ride

Life's a dance
Put on your dancing shoes, take a chance

When you're all over
When you know you've done all that you can do
Put on your dancing shoes
It'll see you through

Voices shouting in the street
Life lived to a ragged beat
Someone's world is tumbling down
Who's the saint and who's the clown?

Life's a dance
Put on your dancing shoes, take a chance

When you're all over
When you know you've done all that you can do
Put on your dancing shoes
It'll see you through

When time is flying
When you know there's no end to these modern blues
Put on your dancing shoes
It'll see you through

Life's a dance
Put on your dancing shoes, take a chance

When you're all over
When you know you've done all that you can do
Put on your dancing shoes
It'll see you through

When time is flying
When you know there's no end to these modern blues
Put on your dancing shoes
It'll see you through

Keep on dancing
Keep on dancing
Keep on dancing

Hear the night music playing?
Don't you know what it's saying?
We should feel it together
For forever

Feel the beat and just hold on
To the sweet midnight flowing
Feel the music inside you
I'll be there too

Now's the time our dreams are finally coming true
Feels so good we're crying
Now's the time when it's down to me and you
Spread these wings - we'll be flying

Don't you know what the night can do?
Don't you know when it's touching you?
Don't you know what the night can do?

Time to show all your feeling
All the night is revealing
Let the rhythm enfoled you
Let me hold you

Now we turn into music
Now we never will lose it
When the rhythm and night ride
No heart can hide

There are times that never ever come again
Mem'ries there for making
When the night calls, we better let it in
All this love for the taking

Don't you know what the night can do?
Don't you know when it's touching you?
Won't you help me to let it through?
Don't you know what the night can do?

Night was falling and my chances were low
Nothing was happening, I was ready to go
Then I saw her walking through that door
And I knew right then I had to get me some more

Moved up close, up next to the bar
There she sat, lookin' like a movie star
Went up and asked her, 'Do you mind if I sit?'
She said, 'No, but if you see a chance, you'd better take it.'
Just the two of us sat talking together
The music and people all drifting away

Hearts on fire, burning with love
We were written in the stars above
Take us higher to the things that we know
There's no other place we can go

Told her everything that happened to me
A thousand limousines and the women for free
She said, 'That's when these words'll ring true -
You ain't nobody 'till somebody loves you.'
Love came to me the minute I saw her
I wanted to make her part of my life

Just the two of us sat talking together
I wanted to make her part of my life

In the sky, light is coming, so glad we all have this day
We all want one more morning just to know the night won't stay
Lift my eyes to the dawning to see the life start again
Just to see one more morning, just to feel it all begin
Just to have this day and life starting all over, for all it may bring
A blessing on everything and one more song I can sing

One more day, one more memory, one more link in the chain
We all want one more morning just to feel it all again
Just to have this day and life starting all over, for all it may bring
A blessing on everything and one more song I can sing
In the arms we were born in, in the arms that will take us home
We all want one more morning, then we'll take the night to come

Baby's eyes - feel them looking at me
Realize what I would have her see
Realize how dark this world can be
That's why I better keep shining, shining, keep shining right down the line

Love's a light - it keeps leading us on
When it's right, it'll shine till we're gone
keep it bright out there in the unknown
You know we better keep shining, shining, keep shining right down the line

Here's my shining song, I hope you can see it
Here's my shining song, from the heart
Here's my shining song, and I know you need it
If we keep shining on, we'll never shine alone

Love the night, 'cause that's when I hold you
Feel the might of all the things we do
Oh, the sight when we're both coming through
I love you 'cause you keep shining, shining
Keep shining right down the line

So shine - just show the world how bright the world can be
Let it shine - so every heart can see

Shining star - lead us on through our lives
You're so far, but your light still arrives
Shining star, shine for all who still cry
It helps to know you're still shining, shining
You're shining right down the line

You've been searching high and low, still so far to go
You've been searching everywhere, I know you care
Walking down the endless street, what will you meet?
Who knows, who knows?

You'll keep on searching till the very end
For one true lover and for one true friend
You'll get your answer on the whispering wind
When you find it, just don't let go

Laughed with saints and cried with clowns, lived that up and down
Walked out in the pouring rain to stop your pain
Cried out on a mountain high, why life goes by?
Why love can die, oh why?

I can feel the music deep down inside of me
When I see the new day rising, h it sets me free
Like a melody coming, what will it be?
I love life again though I don't know how this day will finally end
Each day is music - reach till I find the song
Every day I keep on singing

Every day, every day, every day, oh lord
Every day, every day, every day, oh lord
And my soul is still strong, every day I sing my song

What a world of trouble we are all asked to bear
But we have to keep on living, find our strength somewhere
And I choose to keep on hoping, faith is still there
There are mysteries unbound, there is truth we've lost and found
The song lines are there, they will bring us back around
Deep in the heart they play, every day
Love life again, though you don't know how this day will finally end
Each day is music - reach till you find the song
Every day just keep on singing

Reaching for the stars, for the song of us all
Looking through the lonely night for a faith that will not fall for morning
Glad I'm here when morning comes, here when morning comes
One more day to keep on singing

Every time I see you, girl, it makes me feel so sad
Knowing you've been seeing some other guy that treats you bad
Did you know I'm burning deep inside for you?
Just give me the chance now and we can see it through
If you'll be my woman, I'll be your one and only man

Gonna take you with me far away from hearts of stone
We'll live in the country and raise some children of our own
I will be your lover, I will be your friend
I'll give you my loving, on that you can depend
If you'll be my woman, I'll be your one and only man

And there'll be no more crying, I'll make your dreams come true
You know I'll never turn my back on you

Take you to the city, girl, we're gonna buy some clothes
Dress you up so pretty and then we'll take in all the shows
Find a place that's jumping, where the music's tight
And we'll keep on dancing 'til the morning light
If you'll be my woman, I'll be your one and only man, oh yeah

If you'll be my woman, I'll be your man
Know I'm gonna give you everything I can
If you'll be my woman, I'll be your man,
There'll be no more running, gonna make a stand

Cry, you would cry in my arms
Far, far from the world and its harms
That kind of love begun is never done
I'll be here at close of day
When you bring your heart home to stay

I will be here when you call
I will be here standing tall
I will be here, you won't fall
Don't you know that love will save us after all?

Come - when cold winter blows
Come - when sweet summer glows
And all your wandering years will disappear
There are places inside the heart
We'll touch like we've done from the start

Almighty time rolls on, let's not spend it all alone
We are here, then we're gone

Midnight comes and the devil's loose
What you want? He's got everything there
What you've got he'll take
And leave you in the cold

One more soul drowns, another deal goes down
The night is full of danger, another deal goes down

On the street, the refugees
From a war that was lost in the heart
No one wants to see them
And the fire is burning slow

Tell me what you're searching for, will you, sister?
Emptiness inside, you will never fill it up with another thrill

Money's spent, all the words are said
Nothing helps, streets are falling apart
Through the night they're burning and the devil's on a roll

All over the night, the beat goes on
Can you hear? Can you feel?
Through the years music keeps runnin'
Keeps runnin' on, on and on

And I'll always be feeling it and I won't slow down
Just as long as those wheels go round
I'll be riding that fast train to Memphis on that sweet R and B
Till that green grass way down home grows up over me

Somewhere in this world a child is born
He can hear, he can feel
Just like me, he'll keep runnin' on
Keep it runnin' on, on and on

And I'll always be feeling it and he won't slow down
Just as long as those wheels go round
He'll be riding that fast train to Memphis on that sweet R and B
When that green grass way down home grows up over me
Over me

Come out and dance with me darling
On that funky side of town
Come out and rock with me baby
Shake it up and dance it down
When you hear that good band play
It will make you want to fool around
You can't sit down

I've got some moves for you darling
That I learned from way back when
I've got a feeling for you baby
You'll believe in love again
When I knock on your door
You'll let me in - in love again

We go round and round
Don't know where we're bound
Long as there's a beat I'll hang around
For one more round

Now baby, don't read the papers
Cause they always make you sad
And honey, don't watch the T.V.
Cause the news is always bad
Come and dance with me tonight
And you know your heart will be glad
So very glad

Baby, don't you know the reason
Grandma smiles at Grandpa so
Grandpa can still keep it moving
Like he did so long ago
Grandma says, "Hold me tight
And don't let go." - like years ago

We go round and round
Don't know where we're bound
Long as there's a beat I'll hang around
For one more round
Baby, this is true romance
Take it while you see a chance

If we got everyone dancing
Wouldn't be no time for war
If they got into the feeling
They'd find out what life is for
Every day you'd hear them say
This has got to be what life is for
And dance some more

Had a dream last night, the angels had come riding
In the light of day where there was no more hiding
All so fine, I still see them shine
I saw angels play right in the light of day

And I watched them fly across a fiery sky
And I heard their cry as they passed me by
I could feel the light inside me, I could feel it everywhere
Life was clear and fair

Woke up in the dark and tried to keep believing
In the light I saw, in time of constant grieving
Vision fair, please don't disappear
And please hear my prayer there in the light of day

When I look within I see them shine again
As the darkness ends and the light begins
I can feel the light inside me, I can feel it everywhere
They are all still there

On the street tonight the innocent are dying
And the world's not right, so many millions crying
Evil lives and hate never gives, hell is never far
And is this all we are?

Oh, Lord, hear us cry, up in the fiery sky
That our souls may fly to you when we die
Help us feel the light inside us, help us feel it everywhere
Oh, Lord, be there

There was a time, you had it made
Everything was going your way
So many guys hanging on a string
You just wanted to play

Like a spy in the house of love
Searching for a clue in the dark
Spy in the house of love
Someone put a spell on your heart
Spy in the house of love
Searching for a clue in the dark
Spy in the house of love
Someone's got a hold of your heart
Spy, baby, in the house of love
Spy, baby, in the house of love

Out on the street, you were the queen
Playing games with jokers and fools
Then out of the night there comes the king
Now he's changing the rules

Angel of Mercy
Angel of Mercy

Everything that can go wrong
Don't you know I realize
All the trouble that goes on so long
Restoration of it seems so wise
But when the love and the hope has gone
You're the one the world is searching for
Hold on for the way gets clear
For your love, for our love
That's what I'm saying

Angel of mercy
Won't you stay with me, won't you stay with me
Angel of mercy
Won't you stay with me, won't you stay with me

Take a litte water to cool you down
Reach out to your furthest dream
If you find that you've been turned around
Get back up and try again

Though you're future's not plain
Your effort's not in vain
For we are in need of
Your sweet touch please be near us

Angel of mercy
Won't you stay with me, won't you stay with me
Angel of mercy
Won't you stay with me, won't you stay with me

When the sun turns to rain
Then our loss can be gain
If you could reach out
Take my hand yeah

Angel of mercy
Won't you stay with me, won't you stay with me
Angel of mercy
Won't you stay with me, won't you stay with me

Oh what a shambles has been my day
I know i have to go to work but i wanna play
Well, i'm lookin' at my watch and it's almost half past three
And it's time for tea
And i don't want nobody tellin'
Trying to tell me
What i have to do and what i have to be

You know i just wanna have some fun
Yeah now, come on and have a party
Yeah, well, have some fun

Let me tell you now
All through the day the night's been on my mind
Now i've got myself together, baby, and you're lookin' fine, so fine
And i'm lookin' at my watch and it's almost half past eight



Now then don't be late
I don't want nobody tellin'
Telling me and you
Who we have to be or what we have to do

I know you've got some lovin', it's something we can share
We're gonna have a big night out, even if they say we ain't goin' nowhere

I see you walkin' to my car, lookin' like something sweet to eat
Girl, you're my brightest star.
Come on now, let's get it. let's get it.

Everybody on the dance floor, everybody get up
Everybody keep movin', let's have some fun

Some say I know, others say I don't
That's alright now
What I'm saying every day is that love will find a way
That's no lie now
When the road's getting tough and you think you've had enough
Don't give up now
Show the world how you feel, gonna let them know you're real
Don't be shy now

Let your love come down
Let it flow now
Just let it flow now, baby, yeah
Let your love come down
Come on and show me now
Don't hold it back now
Oh girl, you got to
Let your love come down
Let your love come down
Let it all go now
Let your love come down, baby
Let your love come down

Make sure that you're true in everything you do
Don't you fake it
And when you're caught in the heat and you think it's got you beat
You can take it
You got time on your side and this door is open wide
You can make it (oh yes we can)
It was there from the start, got the power in your heart
Don't forsake it

Give your heart, darling, every day
Wear your love now, baby, don't hide away
Roll it over, don't delay
Let's start a new day

In my life there was emptiness
Where I was going I couldn't guess
Then one day into my life you came
And from then on nothing seemed the same
You gave me strength when I thought I could be wrong
Hey now I know right here is where I belong - with your

Real love to hold on to
Real love to pull me through
And I know with all my heart
Here I'm gonna stay
Here I'll always stay inside your real love

You make things right with no uncertainty
I know this kind of love will always be realized
And I'm now quite sure that
Real love is what we all are looking for
Now I'm ready to be just what you want me to
With you right her to guide me through - I need you

Just to have a soul mate
To make things right when all senses fail
True love is a hard found thing
Now I feel it and I need it always

You came into my life
You made it alright
You showed me who I could be
You gave me your vision
Gave me inspiration
You helped my eyes to see

When I worked out what you had worked in me
I found out how precious life can be, so

Fill me up (Thy will be done) with your love
Fill me up with your tenderness
Fill me up with your love
Fill me up and help me to grow

There was a time when I was blind
I had no faith, I had no pride, no
I wasted lots of precious time
Thinking of myself and my own mind

Then you picked me up and revealed your love
You shined your light on me and renewed my soul, so

(Fill me up, fill me up) Bring your lovin' home to me
(Fill me up, fill me up) Show me how love's supposed to be
(Fill me up, fill me up) Bring your lovin' home to me
(Fill me up, fill me up) Show me how love can grow

Then you picked me up and revealed your love
You shined your light on me and renewed my soul, so

I walked into a bar one night
I had a drink
I saw a fight
I glanced across the smoke filled room
And I began to think of my baby

I wonder what I'm doing here
All on my own
It isn't clear
I miss her smile, I miss her touch
I know that I just have to see my baby

I gotta get back whoa
Back to my baby
Gotta get back whoa
Back to my baby

I had to have a change of scene
And rid my mind of everything
The realization came to me
The only place to be was with my baby

I've gotta leave this place I'm in
And get back to my love again
I packed my bags and headed home
It won't be long before I'm with my baby

I gotta get back whoa
Back to my baby
Gotta get back whoa
Back to my baby

I gotta get back whoa
Back to my baby
Gotta get back whoa
Back to my baby

I've tried to live my life alone
Independence, freedom was my own
But there was a loneliness I could not ignore
I knew deep down I needed more
In my life I needed a feeling
Of a love to come over me
I felt the truth and so I prayed for

Someone like you to hold my hand
Someone like you to understand
Someone like you to stand by me
All my life, yeah, all my life - someone like you

I remember laying eyes on you
After we spoke deep inside I knew
I can feel the happiness your soul brings to me
Your presence makes my world complete
And I know you know what I'm feeling
There's a love coming over me
And it's true, what I've waited for, your sweet and precious love

I felt there was an emptiness
I didn't know what was missing
I didn't know how to quench it
You are the answer to all my prayers
you are the one that I needed
You are the one I believe in
Oh, I believe in

It's a family affair ....

One child grows up to be somebody that just loves to learn
And another child grows up to be someone who needs concern
Mother loves both of them, you see it's in the blood
Father loves both of them, blood's thicker than the mud

It's a family affair ....

Newly-wed a year ago, still checkin' each other out
Nobody wants to blow, nobody wants to be left out
You can't leave cos your heart is there
But you can't stay cos you been somewhere else
You can't cry cos you look broke down
But you cry anyway cos you're all broke down

It's a family affair ...

Na na na one family, na na na one love ...

Oh baby I had to think things through
I never needed love when I was all by myself
Now comes the time I know it's gotta be you
Oh baby, now I need your help

Ooh come on now baby
I wanna give some special time to you now
Cos ooh, when you touch me
Got a feelin' I can't hide

Now I know all I need is you
You're my reason for stayin' alive
I know that it's real, I feel it inside
Come on now, let's not wait

Gimme plenty lovin', Gimme plenty lovin'
Gimme plenty lovin', every day, every night, come on, baby

Oh baby, you know we'll be apart
We gotta make up on love till I'll be with you again
Thinking of you, the feeling in my heart
let's start doin' what we do till thenp

When the night comes rollin' and the day is through
Then I come strollin' down that avenue
Baby, I got what no one can give you - all my lovin'
All the guys wanna get down with you
But there ain't no one that's got my rhythm

Cos I'm the lord of the street, no one can compete with my love for you
Said I'm the lord of the street, you got the kinda heat brings me close to you

Oh, I can't get enough of it, let me dance for you
When I start movin' you'll be dancing too
You and I gonna rock together, our hearts are burning
We'll take on all kinds of weather
Girl, this night's gonna last forever

The power to love someone up above is good to me
He's got the kinda love the helps me to see

Higher Love
by Steve Winwood
album: Back in the High Life (1986),
Chronicles (1987)
Think about it, there must be higher love
Down in the heart or hidden in the stars above
Without it, life is a wasted time
Look inside your heart, I'll look inside mine
Things look so bad everywhere
In this whole world, what is fair?
We walk blind and we try to see
Falling behind in what could be

Bring me a higher love
Bring me a higher love
Bring me a higher love
Where's that higher love I keep thinking of?

Worlds are turning and we're just hanging on
Facing our fear and standing out there alone
A yearning, and it's real to me
There must be someone who's feeling for me
Things look so bad everywhere
In this whole world, what is fair?
We walk blind and we try to see
Falling behind in what could be

Bring me a higher love
Bring me a higher love
Bring me a higher love
Where's that higher love I keep thinking of?

Bring me a higher love
Bring me a higher love
Bring be a higher love
I could rise above on a higher love

I will wait for it
I'm not too late for it
Until then, I'll sing my song
To cheer the night along

Bring it...Oh bring it...

I could light the night up with my soul on fire
I could make the sun shine from pure desire
Let me feel that love come over me
Let me feel how strong it could be

Bring me a higher love
Bring me a higher love
Bring me a higher love
Where's that higher love I keep thinking of?

Raise the window on another day
Take it as it comes
Just an actor waiting for a new play
Take it as it comes
Ask me to dance, I will dance for you
Ask me to sing, see what I do
If you feel sad, I'll make jokes for you
I'm a handyman, I'm still coming through
If you suffer from a broken heart
Take it as it comes
If your lover tears your world all apart
Got to take it as it comes
I've played a king and a down and out fool
Some like it hot, and some like it cool
Do what they want, but don't be their tool
Savor the throne, but don't mind the stool
Carry on, carry on, carry on...
If they go too far, that's the way things are
Though it may hurt some, take it as it comes

We're all skating on the thinnest of ice
Got to take it as it comes
In a world that is not so very nice
Got to take it as it comes
And day now the curtain may fall
All the plays end, there's no curtain call
If you live sad, or it you walk tall
We're written on wind that's a lot to haul
Carry on, carry on, carry on...
If they go too far, that's the way things are
Though your mind gets numb,
take it as it comes

Keep on talking all you want
Well you don't waste a minute of time
Who cares, who knows what's true
Coffee and tears the whole night through
Burning up on midnight oil
And it's come right back on you
Freedom Overspill
Freedom Overspill
Force of habit, you could say
The way they talk you're talking away
Who cares, who knows what's true
Your wounded pride is burning you up
Burning up on midnight oil
And it's come right back on you
Freedom Overspill
Freedom Overspill
You're sounding good to me now
Keep talking on
I want to hear the worst
You got no right going around
Talking 'bout the things that you do
Keep on talking all you want
Well you don't waste a minute of time
Who cares, who knows what's true
Coffee and tears the whole night through
Burning up on midnight oil
And it's come right back on you
Freedom Overspill
Freedom Overspill

Freedom Overspill
Freedom Overspill
You're sounding good to me now
Keep talking on
I want to hear the worst
You got no right going around
Talking 'bout the things that you do
Talking 'bout the things
Force of habit, you could say
The way they talk you're talking away
Who cares, who knows what's true
Your wounded pride is burning you up
Burning up on midnight oil
And it's come right back on you
Freedom Overspill
Freedom Overspill
Freedom Overspill
Freedom Overspill
Freedom Overspill
Freedom Overspill
Freedom

It used to seem to me
That my life ran on too fast
And I had to take it slowly
Just to make the good parts last
But when you're born to run
It's so hard to just slow down
So don't be surprised to see me
Back in that bright part of town
I'll be back in the high life again
All the doors I closed one time will open up again
I'll be back in the high life again
All the eyes that watched me once will smile and take me in
And I'll drink and dance with one hand free
Let the world back into me
And on I'll be a sight to see
Back in the high life again
You used to be the best
To make life be life to me
And I hope that you're still out there
And you're like you used to be
We'll have ourselves a time
And we'll dance 'til the morning sun
And we'll let the good times come in
And we won't stop 'til we're done
We'll be back in the high life again
All the doors I closed one time will open up again
We'll be back in the high life again
All the eyes that watch^Eed us once will smile and take us in
And we'll drink and dance with one hand free
And have the world so easily
And oh we'll be a sight to see
Back in the high life again
We'll be back in the high life again
All the doors I closed one time will open up again
We'll be back in the high life again
All the eyes that watched us once will smile and take us in
And we'll drink and dance with one hand free
And have the world so easily
And oh we'll be a sight to see
Back in the high life again

While there is time
Let's go out and feel everything
If you hold me
I will let you into my dream
For time is a river rolling into nowhere
We must live while we can
And we'll drink our cup of laughter
The finer things keep shining through
The way my soul gets lost in you
The finer things I feel in m
The golden dance life could be
Oh, I've been sad
And h^Aave walked bitter streets alone
And come morning
There's a good wind to blow me home
So time is a river rolling into nowhere
I will live while I can
I will have my ever after
The finer things keep shining through
The way my soul gets lost in you
The finer things I feel in me
The golden dance life could be
We go so fast, why don't we make it last
Life is glowing inside you and me
Please take my hand, here where I stand
Won't you come out and dance with me
Come see, with me, come see
And lovers try
'Til they get the best of the night
And come morning
They are tangled up in the light
So time be a river rolling into nowhere
They love while they can
And they think about the night so sweet
The finer things keep shining through
The way my soul gets lost in you
The finer things I feel in me
The golden dance life could be

The story goes, the truth is no one knows
A stranger came, a man who lost his name
At night he tells me his tale, prison, women, wail
The took him in, he let them win
Over and over

He said if you don't have good words to say
Don't wake me up until the Judgment Day
'Cause if nothing is the way it seems
Then this life is just a haunted dream
And all this love is just falling down through the years
And oh, I'd rather sleep

Wake me up on Judgment Day
Let me hear golden trumpets play
Give me life where nothing fails
Not a dream in a wishing well

A man in tattered clothes, crying all he knows
The darkness grows, that's how it goes
Over and over

He said I think of the beauty I've had
And all it does is make me feel so bad
First they make you think you're riding high
Then they toss you off in the sky
And all this life is just falling down through the years
And oh, I'd rather sleep

Wake me up on Judgment Day
Let me hear golden trumpets play
Give me life where nothing fails
Not a dream in a wishing well

Say a prayer for the stranger
Listen to the stranger

Wake me up on Judgment Day
Let me hear golden trumpets play
Give me life where nothing fails
Not a dream in a wishing well

Sometimes I think he knows too much
His confidence never needs a crutch
One man is a real one, the other wants to hide
One man has his mind made up, the other can't decide
By the time there's nothing left to choose
One man puts the fire out, the other lights the fuse
Sometimes I think I know too much
'Bout what goes on in the real world and such
Half of me is certain, the other isn't sure
One half has the symptom, the other has the cure
By the time there's nothing left to choose
One half has the answer, the other looks for clues
It's a fine line, a very fine line
Split decision
It's a fine line, a very fine line
Sometimes I think we've come too far
If we're lost and if not where we are
Half of us is easy, the other half is hard
Even though we do our best, we end up being scarred
By the time there's nothin' left to choose
One man puts the fire out, the other lights the fuse
It's a fine line, a very fine line
It's a fine line, a very fine line
Split decision
It's a fine line, a very fine line
It's a fine line, a very fine line
A very fine line
Sometimes I think I know too much
When confidence never needs a crutch
One man is a real one, the other wants to hide
One man has his mind made u while the other can't decide
By the time there's nothing left to choose
One of us sees red, while the other sings the blues
It's a fine line, a very fine line
It's a fine line, a very fine line
Split decision
It's a fine line, a very fine line
It's a fine line, a very fine line
A very fine line

I can't believe she's going
I said please show me
What selfish seeds I plant along the way
Black harvest today
The empty bed she left me, cold on one side
Can't believe, only me
Shadows in purple thrill me
I cry myself awake each night
I can't believe that it's true
Here I am, where are you
Can I cope with today
My love is leavin' me
Still I'm hoping she'll stay
My love is leavin' me
But I'll control my feelings
I find
And I'll find hope singing
The way is so ^Long
But I'm going to be strong
Oh, what a turn around
Soon, someday I'll be bound
And I'll cope with today
My love is leavin' me
Still I'm hoping she'll stay
My love is leavin' me
- 간 주 중 -
Can't believe, only me
Shadows in purple thrill me
I cr^Yy myself awake each night
I can't believe that it's true
Here I am, where are you my love
Breathing your perfume chills me
Dreams never lie
Is it true, asking you
My love is leavin' me
Still I'm hoping she'll stay
My love is leavin' me

Give me life where nothing fails
Not a dream in a wishing well

Stand up in a clear blue morning
Until you see what can be
Alone in a cold day dawning
Are you still free can you be

When some cold tomorrow finds you
When some sad old dream reminds you
How the endless road unwinds you

While you see a chance take it
Find romance fake it
Because it's all on you

Don't you know by now
No one gives you anything
Don't you wonder how you keep on moving
One more day your way go your way

When there's no one left to leave you
Even you don't quite believe you
That's when nothing can deceive you

(

)
(


)

And that old grey wind is blowing
And there's nothing left worth knowing
And it's time you should be going

While you see a chance take it
Find romance
While you see a chance take it
Find romance

When a western man loses his best friend many days are spent in years
And without belief he knows his empty grief is a name for his own fears
Oh, the eyes are still. Oh, but even sleeping

My dearest friend till we meet again and ever, we'll be blowing
Maybe weep awhile for those below; until then I'll keep on going
But oh, the heart, the hurt keeps on keepin' on, on and on

Let them alone for those down there speak our sorrow
While we can't share the joke together, yeah, we keep on going
My dearest friend till we meet again

The dead are weeping for the dead

Help me angel
Plant my feet a little higher
Help me angel
I've been too close to the fire
Help me angel
Make my dream a little brighter
Help me angel
Help me turn on all the lights
You've seen all the sights
You've lived through all the nights
You've got something I have to know
'Cause I've still got far to go
Help me angel
'Cause it's so dark everywhere
Help me angel
Find the magic in the air
- 간 주 중 -
You've got what I have to find
In the sunshine in your mind
Help me angel
Plant my feet a little higher
Help me angel
I've been too close to the fire
Help me angel
Make my dream a little brighter
Help me angel
Help me turn on all the lights

My love is leavin' me

So wild standing there
With her hands in her hair
I can't help remember
Just where she touched me
There's still no face
Here in her place

So cool she was like jazz
On a summer's day
Music high and sweet
Then she just blew away
Now she can't be that warm
With the wind in her arms

Valerie call on me
Call on me Valerie come and see me
I'm the same boy I used to be

Love songs fill the night
But they don't tell it all
Not how lovers cry out
Just like they're dying
Her cries hang there in time somewhere

[Repeat: x3]
Someday some good wind
May blow her back to me
Some night I may hear her
Like she used to be
No it can't be that warm
With the wind in her arms

She bathes me in sweetness I cannot reveal
For sharing dreams I need my woman
This humble expression meagerly dressed
My eyes so mean it has no meaning
But jealous night and all her secret chords
I must be deaf on the telephone I need my love to translate
I play the piano no more running honey
This time to the sky I'll sing if clouds don't hear me
To the sun I'll cry and even if I'm blinded
I'll try moon gazer because with you I'm stronger
Arc of a diver effortlessly, my mind in sky and when I wake up
Daytime and nighttime I feel you near
Warm water breathing she helps me here
This time to the sky I'll sing if clouds don't hear me
To the sun I'll cry and even if I'm blinded
I'll try moon gazer because with you I'm stronger
Lean streaky music spawned on the streets I hear it but with you I had to go
'Cause my rock 'n' roll is putting on weight and the beat it goes on
Arc of a diver effortlessly, my mind in sky and when I wake up
Daytime and ni

Higher Love
by Steve Winwood
album: Back in the High Life (1986),
Chronicles (1987)
Think about it, there must be higher love
Down in the heart or hidden in the stars above
Without it, life is a wasted time
Look inside your heart, I'll look inside mine
Things look so bad everywhere
In this whole world, what is fair?
We walk blind and we try to see
Falling behind in what could be

Bring me a higher love
Bring me a higher love
Bring me a higher love
Where's that higher love I keep thinking of?

Worlds are turning and we're just hanging on
Facing our fear and standing out there alone
A yearning, and it's real to me
There must be someone who's feeling for me
Things look so bad everywhere
In this whole world, what is fair?
We walk blind and we try to see
Falling behind in what could be

Bring me a higher love
Bring me a higher love
Bring me a higher love
Where's that higher love I keep thinking of?

Bring me a higher love
Bring me a higher love
Bring be a higher love
I could rise above on a higher love

I will wait for it
I'm not too late for it
Until then, I'll sing my song
To cheer the night along

Bring it...Oh bring it...

I could light the night up with my soul on fire
I could make the sun shine from pure desire
Let me feel that love come over me
Let me feel how strong it could be

Bring me a higher love
Bring me a higher love
Bring me a higher love
Where's that higher love I keep thinking of?

I can feel the heat, no one has to tell me
It's so good, once it starts I'll never let go
I can feel the beat like a Spanish dancer
Under my feet, making the world go 'round, I can't come down
You can't hold me when I get to feeling this way
It's all over, I'm inside that music that's playing
It takes me out across the wall
It makes my life a carnival
I go out on the street and take my chances
Don't even have to ask, I know the answers

High above the heat of a summer New York street
An out-of-work musician plays a solo saxophone
He's a preacher and a teacher
And he stands up all alone
Stranded in the dark of a vision in the park
A poet in his madness tries to find another line
And he's losing and he's using
And he says he's doing fine
And they look from such a height
That somehow it's all right
They're talking back to the night
It's all that they can do
Talking back to the night
It's how they make it through
If you listen you can hear them
Their voices draw you near them
They're talking back to the night for you
Something seems to take every dime the man can make
His dream is getting smaller and he wonders where to turn
And he's trying hard to make it
And he's trying not to burn
Woman never minds, pulls the shade and draws the blinds
She takes him in the darkness where the loneliest can feed
She gives him all she has to
And it's no more than he needs

Stand up in a clear blue morning
Until you see what can be
Alone in a cold day dawning
Are you still free can you be

When some cold tomorrow finds you
When some sad old dream reminds you
How the endless road unwinds you

While you see a chance take it
Find romance fake it
Because it's all on you

Don't you know by now
No one gives you anything
Don't you wonder how you keep on moving
One more day your way go your way

When there's no one left to leave you
Even you don't quite believe you
That's when nothing can deceive you

(

)
(


)

And that old grey wind is blowing
And there's nothing left worth knowing
And it's time you should be going

(

)

While you see a chance take it
Find romance
While you see a chance take it
Find romance

She bathes me in sweetness I cannot reveal
For sharing dreams I need my woman
This humble expression meagerly dressed
My eyes so mean it has no meaning
But jealous night and all her secret chords
I must be deaf on the telephone I need my love to translate
I play the piano no more running honey
This time to the sky I'll sing if clouds don't hear me

Go down babe a slot machine to take my dime
Cunning diversion to pass the time
Flash in the pan a weekend trip in any town
She'll light the fuse and watch you drown
From a cut-price lady to second-hand woman
You're society's slave babe you're an ugly rumor
Go down babe a slot machine to take my dime
Cunning diversion to pass the time
I wanted to say please don't go away today
Tomorrow's okay

Sundown coming down too soon, no time to be alone
So I'll take a glass of memories and understand the blues
Oh they're the last thing you lose
Slowdown sundown, all I really need is time
For faded love songs and feelings in the wine
Let them take me down the line
Sunrise, a woman's eyes, good loving one warm afternoon
Here's to all the strong ones who don't care if they win
The kind I'll never see again
Slowdown, give me just a little while
It's not the darkness, it's just the night's so long
Puts the sadness in the song
Here's to someday when someone understands it
Why life keeps turning like a mad thing
Until that someday I'll just play what I have to play though I play it alone
Slowdown sundown, all I really need is time
For faded love songs and feelings in the wine
Let them take me down the line

I can feel the heat, no one has to tell me
It's so good, once it starts I'll never let go
I can feel the beat like a Spanish dancer
Under my feet, making the world go 'round, I can't come down
You can't hold me when I get to feeling this way
It's all over, I'm inside that music that's playing
It takes me out across the wall
It makes my life a carnival
I go out on the street and take my chances
Don't even have to ask, I know the answers

Out of the night burning with light
Train shining black,
I won't look back, life is running
Hoping some day someone
will say I got it made
Pull up the shade, let the sun in
Down on the night train,
I feel the starlight steal away
Use up a lifetime looking for the break of day
Border patrol looking through me
Towns without names all look the same,
I hear crying
Paris to Spain, countries in pain
Caught up in flight, feeling the sight,
Europe dying
Down on the night train,
I feel the starlight steal away
Use up a lifetime looking for the break of day
Rolling on, hear the wheels singing,
fever keep coming on so strong
My ticket paid, trying to fade
I hope I get there not just
somewhere I was leaving
Out in the dark all the wolves bark
I fold my arms try to keep warm by believing
Down on the night train,
I feel the starlight steal away
Use up a lifetime looking for the break of day
Hard rain following on,
cold wheels moving on
Everybody they're so alone
down on the night train
Hard rain following on,
cold wheels moving on
Everybody they're so alone
down on the night train
night train

Time they call the universal healer
but you're back every three days
Settling all around me
A feather duster's no substitute for the real thing
And the dust you left behind is settling still
With you dawn never tasted so good
Swept up like debris on a saturday night
Did we ever have fun?
The dust, the gentle legacy you left behind
Is falling softly on my mind
Dust, the timeless memory of you, i love you
I do for all the little things you do
and i guess i always will
The dust settles again to remind me still
Of memories i've cherished so long

Hold me close to your side
cause my love won't decay anymore
Memories of hope of those long summer days
And the dust you left behind is settling still
With you dawn never tasted so good
Swept up like debris on a saturday night
Did we ever have fun?
The dust, the gentle legacy you left behind
Is falling softly on my mind
Dust, the timeless memory of you, i love you
I do for all the little things you do
and i guess i always will
The dust settles again to remind me still
Of memories i've cherished so long

Feeling your body stretched so long,
what was it went to wrong,
That our love, our love it was gone
but our friendship going strong
Feeling your body stretched so long,
what was it went to wrong,
That our love, our love it was gone
but our friendship going strong

You rise upon a black day, coming from a mile away
And every time I hear you say, that I don't have to be this way
You sneak upon a mean moon, that casts it's shadow too soon
When the spell is in tune, your shadow slips away

Good man gets the good wife, while bad boy's cleaning up his knife
And all I got is trouble and strife to help me on my way
You're running round to nowhere, someone said it might be there
But I'm telling you beware, the hand that fights you'll feed

Investigating downtown, Sergeant Gruesome got shot down
National Guard came all around, but couldn't find his knees
Mickey Mouse was all put out, Donald Duck began to shout
Rumors that were put about, said they would get theirs next

'Til I find out, where will I go, where will I go
I don't know, I don't know,
I don't know where
The space is between my eyes
Open up the heavenly skies
Death awaits with pearly gates
Those who've been mesmerized
Many years has come and gone
Went to see a standing stone
Some in circles, some alone
Ancient, worn and weather torn
They chill me to the very bone
Many of these can be seen
In quiet places, fields of green
Of hedgerow lanes with countless names
But the only thing that remains are the roll right stones

[Chorus:]
Space age before my eyes
Opening up the skies
Devil waits at the pearly gates
For those wh have been mesmerized
Many a years has come and gone
But progress marches slowly on
In nature's paint, she hides the stain
Cause everybody is going insane
The only, the only thing that will sustain are the roll right stones
Roll right stones (7X)

[Chorus]

'Til I find out, where will I go, where will I go
I don't know, I don't know,
I don't know where
The space is between my eyes
Open up the heavenly skies
Death awaits with pearly gates
Those who've been mesmerized
Many years has come and gone
Went to see an ancient mound
People buried underground
Long ago, will never know
What it was like to hear their sounds
Black crow, I know you've been here
You've see the sights of yesteryear
You steal the grain of the conquered plain
But the only thing that remains are the roll right stones

[Chorus x2]

Sitting all alone by the fireside
Listen to the wind in the chimney top
Haven't slept for days, and I'm still wide eyed
Try not to think, but my mind won't stop
Evening shadows making my heart sing out
With the setting sun, turning leaves to brown
If I had a lover, who's heart was true
I wouldn't be alone in this evening blue
Everybody's looking for something in life
Not everyone's finds what they're looking for
Everybody wants a little happiness in life
But everyone can open the door
Morning wakens, making my heart sing out
Now that summer's here, changing fears and doubts

Sometimes I feel so uninspired
Sometimes I feel like giving up
Sometimes I feel so very tired
Sometimes I feel like I've had enough
Sometimes you feel like you've been hired
Sometimes you feel like you've been bought
Sometimes you feel like your room's been wired
Sometimes you feel like you've been caught
But don't let it get you down

There is no reason for not failing
You've got to smile and turn the other cheek
So today you might get up
But by tomorrow you'll be sailing
And you won't even hear these words I speak
Some people want to be so desired
Some people can't stand the light of day
Somebody's laughing while someone is crying
But for to want in the close of the day
But sometimes I feel like my head is spinning
I'm gonna cave with all I see
I don't know who's losing and I don't care who's winning
Hardship and trouble following me

You said you couldn't leave me after all that we'd been through
I believed you when you said we should both try something new
I was drowning inside here with a love that was so true
But you laughed right in my face and there was nothing I could do
Once I took a walk across the hill to see what I could see
I saw a light falling from the sky and land beneath a tree
The light it gave was oh, so bright that it took away my care
I ran back to the house to tell you but you were not there
When you've loved someone dearly it's so hard not to regret
Memories that have faded, suddenly you can't forget
I know I was not dreaming when you walked right out the door
Just a feeling that told me my love was gone for evermore
When you think you've found the key, the door just slips away
And so you walk the floor all night until the break of day
Somewhere in your mind you know that things will be alright
Because everything in life is equal just like the day and night
You said you couldn't leave me after all that we'd been through
I believed you when you said that we should both try something new
Something new

And it's a fact, you are cold, they react, dream Gerrard
Hippos don't wear hats, lobsters shriek if provoked
On long blue ribbons
That he may see while he sleeps

Monsieur Old Neddy, he wears spectacles in bed
That he may see dreams more clearly
The night, it will be black, and white raven croaking
I am thirsty, die, they won't let it be

They think it should be done with reality
I scream from a skull. Fritz, bring your wigwam
They won't let it be
They think it should be done with reality, with reality

They won't let it be
They think it should be done with reality, with reality

Graveyard people with graveyard minds
Peeking out through half-drawn blinds
Desperate people with desperate minds
Only live amongst straight lines

Scorning the gypsies camped out in the fields
What do they know of the warrior's shield?

Go-slow workers with Union minds
Striking out for better times
Sunshine people with sunshine minds
Living in these troubled times

Follow shop stewards like so many sheep
Sowing the seed that our children will reap

Go-slow workers with Union minds
Striking out for better times
Sunshine people with sunshine minds
Living in these troubled times

Get it together, no one knows how we feel
Sowing the seed that our children will reap

Tell me how you want me to be, then look again and you will see
That I'm still the same love
Think me into any shape, your twisted mind has no escape
But don't be ashamed, love, it's just a game, love
But don't be ashamed, love, it's just a game, love
You can learn how to play
Born like you were in a terrible mess, didn't know what it was to have a new dress
You just wanted to scream out my name
Till somebody said, 'Let me take you to bed'
And with money and lies they filled up your head
You were barely thirteen, a child from the villages
So fresh on the scene

You walk and talk and move around in circles
Your friends telling you you are doing fine
You can't see that snowball as it hurtles
Through the shattered membranes of your mind
If I could talk to you for just one minute
Then you would know what it is I am getting at
But there again your head's got nothing in it
By the way you left without your hat

I'm walking in the wind looking at the sky
Hanging on a breeze and wondering why, why
Your old man's headed for the final pay-off
The joker that you got is fading too
And all the sharks that come around for the rip-off
Are gonna tear the flesh right off you
The plastic princess hangs her head in wonder at the silver glittered boys
Trying, trying to compete
And all at once the room begins to thunder
And all that's left is the stain on the sheet

The prostitute is standing on the corner
Suffering so much pain to stay alive
She's so real, that life itself bows down before her
She couldn't make that nine to five
While the president is crying, crying in the White House
The prime minister's really got the blues
All the heads of state are busy playing cat

Stand up in a clear blue morning
Until you see what can be
Alone in a cold day dawning
Are you still free can you be

When some cold tomorrow finds you
When some sad old dream reminds you
How the endless road unwinds you

While you see a chance take it
Find romance fake it
Because it's all on you

Don't you know by now
No one gives you anything
Don't you wonder how you keep on moving
One more day your way go your way

When there's no one left to leave you
Even you don't quite believe you
That's when nothing can deceive you

(

)
(


)

And that old grey wind is blowing
And there's nothing left worth knowing
And it's time you should be going

(

)

While you see a chance take it
Find romance
While you see a chance take it
Find romance

You ride on the swing in and out of the bars
Capturing moments of life in a jar
Playing with children, acting as stars
Guiding your visions to heaven and heaven is in your mind
Take extra care not to lose what up feel
The apple you're eating is simple and real
Water the flowers that grow at you heel
guiding your visions to heaven and heaven is in your mind

So many people with nothing to do
Hundreds of buildings that block out my view
Watched by a tramp with a hole in his shoe
Standing alone on the corner
He's thinking that work is all a big joke
While he looks in the gutter for something to smoke
Two hundred kids in one red minimoke
Scream down the street fully loaded
Day in the city
Oh what a pity
I could be in Berkshire where the poppies are so pretty
I could be in Berkshire where the poppies are so pretty
I wish that I was there
I want to make it out of there
People like sardines
Packed in a can
Waiting for Christmas that's made in Japan
And I'm having trouble with my apple flan
Sat in the cafe on the corner
I walk through the green gates and into the park
Where murderers crawl after girls in the dark
Down by the shed I head a remark
I turned on but no one could hear me

My bed is made of candy floss, the house is made of cheese
It's lit by lots of glow-worms; if I'm wrong correct me please.
The village is a pop-up book, the people wooden dolls.
The roads are made of treacle things, it's time that I moved on.

[Chorus:]
My home is half a walnut shell, the journey will be long
So I filled the whole with peppermints and creamy pink blanc-mange.
I sailed away for fifteen days, it never once got dark
And came upon two large houses set out in a park.

On the door of one was truth, on the other door was lies.
Which one should I enter through? I really must decide
The door of lies had lots of flowers growing round outside
But looking close I noticed it was crumbling inside

The door of truth was very plain, but stood up very strong,
And when I entered through its door I knew I wasn't wrong.

I'm looking for a girl who has no face
She has no name, or number
And so I search within his lonely place
Knowing that I won't find her
Well, I can't stop this feeling deep in inside me
Ruling my mind

I feel no sound
Don't know where I'm bound

The scenery is all the same to me
Nothing has changed or faded
I'm a part of it, some part of me
Painted cool green, and shaded
So, try to find myself must be the only way
To feel free

Dear Mister Fantasy play us a tune
Something to make us all happy
Do anything take us out of this gloom
Sing a song, play guitar
Make it snappy
You are the one who can make us all laugh
But doing that you break out in tears
Please don't be sad if it was a straight mind you had
We wouldn't have known you all these years

As the evening sun goes down
The dealer shuffles into town
Makes a note of what's a float
And spinning 'round he'll cut your throat
In the time it takes to heal
The dealer's made another deal
When he plays he plays for keeps
And sweeps the spinning roulette wheel
Dealer, dealer

Like the mighty ocean's roar
He gets all his share and more
Mexican right to the core and very proud
He'll get even with the score
Leave your wife a weeping widow on the shore

Between the desert and the dove
Money is his only love
Feeling nothing deep inside
His mind is governed by his pride
In a smoky little room
Shadows moving in the gloom
Someone turns a running flush
And breaks the deathly quiet hush
Dealer, dealer

Everything really is stupidly simple
And yet all around is utter confusion
Fairy tales written may help you to see it
Do you understand about Lewis's Alice?
We fit all our lives into regular patterns
All that we really know is that we're really living

"The man who makes the world - his wisdom seeks to know his mind.
And knowing where his feet should walk, and when he should or should not talk,
And have a friend to find.
Don't look around to find the sound that's right beneath your feet.
The hermit sits inside his cave and seeks to know his mind.
Staring into empty space and seeing things in people's faces others cannot find.
Don't look around to find the sound that's right beneath your feet."

You've nothing to hide, so why try to hide it?
I know there are some, but they're screwed up inside
If you need a reason for all this I'm singing
It's simpleness really that gives it its meaning

Yesterday I was a young boy
Searching for my way
Not knowing what I wanted
Living life from day to day
'Till you came along
There was nothing but an empty space and a pain

Feels like Coloured Rain
Tastes like Coloured Rain
Bring on Coloured Rain
Yeah!

I can see a sail of changing
Filling with surprise
United with a feeling
Bringing love into my eyes
Till you came along
there was nothing but an empty space and a pain

Seems that I had just to stay
The birds have flown, the sky's turned gray
The bees have ruffled by the flowers
Plastic plants that never die and I
Hope they never find me here
I walked upon synthetic grass where little people said
"Don't ask about the field where you once played
Atomic Factories have replaced" and I
Hope they never find me here
The horse I ride has lost a shoe, the buttercups are dry
The car I drive has broken down and the blacksmith trade is dying
Meals I eat have changed into a concentrated vacuum
The air has come to be as one
Time to leave has just begun
The world is waiting its a fact
To stage the last and final act and
Hope I never find me there
There
There....

Well you think you had a good time
With the boy that you just met
Kicking sand from beach to beach
Your clothes all soaking wet
But if you look around and see
A shadow on the run
Don't be too surprised if its just a paper sun

Ahh Paper Sun, Ahh Paper Sun

In the room where you've been sleeping
All your clothes all thrown about
Cigarettes burn window sills
Your meter's all run out
But then again its nothing
You just split when day is done
Pitching lips to nowhere, hung up on the paper sun

Standing in the cool of my room
Fresh cut flowers give me sweet perfume
Too much sun will burn!

When you're feeling tired and lonely
You see people going home
You can't make the train fare
Or the six pence for the phone
And icicles your crying
From your cheek have just begun
Dont be sad, good times are had
Beneath the paper sun

Daylight breaks while you sleep on the sand
A seagull is stealing the ring from your hand
The boy who had given you so much fun
Has left you so cold in the paper sun

As the evening sun goes down
The dealer shuffles into town
Makes a note of what's a float
And spinning 'round he'll cut your throat
In the time it takes to heal
The dealer's made another deal
When he plays he plays for keeps
And sweeps the spinning roulette wheel
Dealer, dealer

Like the mighty ocean's roar
He gets all his share and more
Mexican right to the core and very proud
He'll get even with the score
Leave your wife a weeping widow on the shore

Between the desert and the dove

Feeling nothing deep inside
His mind is governed by his pride
In a smoky little room

I looked to the sky
Where an elephant's eye
Was looking at me
From a bubblegum tree
And all that I knew
The hole in my shoe
Was letting in water (letting in water)

I walked through a field
That just wasnt real
Where 100 tin soldiers
Would shoot at my shoulder
And all that I knew
The hole in my shoe
Was letting in water (letting in water)

(I climbed on the back of a giant albatross
Which flew through a crack in the cloud
To a place where happiness r eigned all year round
Where music played ever so loudly)

I started to fall
And suddenly woke
And the dew on the grass
It stuck to my coat
And all that I knew
The hole in my shoe
Was letting in water (letting in water

I'm looking for a girl who has no face
She has no name, or number
And so I search within his lonely place

I walk through the green gates and into the park
Where murderers crawl after girls in the dark
Down by the shed I head a remark
I turned on but no one could hear me

You rise upon a black day, coming from a mile away
And every time I hear you say, that I don't have to be this way
You sneak upon a mean moon, that casts it's shadow too soon
When the spell is in tune, your shadow slips away

Good man gets the good wife, while bad boy's cleaning up his knife
And all I got is trouble and strife to help me on my way
You're running round to nowhere, someone said it might be there
But I'm telling you beware, the hand that fights you'll feed

Investigating downtown, Sergeant Gruesome got shot down
National Guard came all around, but couldn't find his knees
Mickey Mouse was all put out, Donald Duck began to shout
Rumors that were put about, said they would get theirs next

Dear Mister Fantasy play us a tune
Something to make us all happy
Do anything take us out of this gloom
Sing a song, play guitar
Make it snappy
You are the one who can make us all laugh
But doing that you break out in tears
Please don't be sad if it was a straight mind you had
We wouldn't have known you all these years

Don't be sad, I just want to see you get through
All I have, is yours if you think it helps you
Good or bad, there's no one can really judge you
You just have, to come to your own conclusion

There is only one who means more than all to me
And through the lady, in a dream I've learned to live with everyone

Mother, father, all my friends, have seen me have my day
But now I find that there's no need in trying to run, though it's been fun

Don't be sad, I just want to see you get through
All I have, is yours if you think it helps you
Good or bad, there's no one can really judge you
You just have, to come to your own conclusion

We are not like all the rest
You can see us any day of the week.
Come around, sit down, take a sniff, fall asleep
Baby you don't have to speak.
I'd like to show you where it is
But then it wouldn't even mean a thing.
Nothing is easy, baby just please me
Who knows what tomorrow may bring.

If for just one moment
You could step outside your mind.
And float across the ceiling
I don't think the folks would mind.

Well if for just one moment

I don't think the folks would mind.

Who knows (who knows, who knows) what tomorrow may bring (repeat to fade)

Somebody's cryin' to be heard
And there's also someone who hears every word

Sail across the ocean with your back against the wind
Listening to nothing save the calling of a bird
And when the rain begins to fall, don't you start to curse
It may be just the tears of someone that you never heard

Somebody's cryin' to be heard
And there's also someone who hears every word

Reflected in the water is a face that you don't know
And isn't it surprising when you find out it's your own
And so you try to find out whether it is friend or foe
And what it is it wants from you, and what it wants to know

Somebody's cryin' to be heard
And there's also someone who hears every word

Well, you're wrapped up in your little world and no one can get in
You sit and think of everything, then you wonder where you've been
Put the blame on someone that you've hardly ever known
And then you realize too late the blame was all your own

Somebody's cryin' to be heard
And there's also someone who hears every word

Sail across the ocean with your back against the wind
Listening to nothing save the calling of a bird
And when the rain begins to fall, don't you start to curse
It may be just the tears of someone that you never heard

Somebody's cryin' to be heard
And there's also someone who hears every word

As time begins to burn itself upon me
And the days are growing very short
People try their hardest to reject me
But in a way, their conscience won't be caught

Something's happened to me day by day
My pebble on the beach is getting washed away
I've given everything that was mine to give
And now I'll turn around and find that there's no time to live

So often I have seen that big wheel of fortune
Spinning for the man who holds the ace
There's many that would change their places for him
But none of them have ever seen his lonely face

Something is happening to me day by day
My pebble on the beach is getting washed away
I've given everything that was mine to give
And now I'll turn around and find that there's no time to live

Well, you told me you were sorry, when I needed your advice
And I was too confused to see the meaning
Like Peter, you disowned me with a voice as cold as ice
And before the fire died and they were leaving.

I'm a means to an end and everybody's friend
To a rich man, poor man, beggar man or thief
From my heart I send a messenger to bend
And take your mind from agony and grief.

Oh, sweet silence without kings and queens
No one here has ever reached your centre
Better to be quiet than to speak without a thought
Or you may lose the meaning of your venture.

I'm a means to an end and everybody's friend
To a rich man, poor man, beggar man or thief
From my heart I send a messenger to bend
And take your mind from agony and grief.

Withering tree, bearing no fruit
Never will see an evergreen suit
Reaching right out, out for the sun
Broken old branches, fall one by one
Into the arms of eternity
Fighting the fish up from the deep
Oh how I wish the lake would not sleep
Following dreams into the blue
There you will see, hidden from view
Trees in the arms of eternity
Into the arms of eternity

Like a hurricane around your heart when earth and sky are torn apart
He comes gathering up the bits while hoping that the puzzle fits
He leaves you, he leaves you
Freedom rider

With a silver star between his eyes that open up at hidden lies
Big man crying with defeat, see people gathering in the street
You feel him, you feel him
Freedom rider

When lightning strikes you to the bone, you turn around, you're all alone
By the time you hear that silent (or siren?) sound, then your soul is in the lost and found
Forever, forever
Freedom rider
Here it comes

Found someone who can comfort me
But there are always exceptions
And she's good at appearing sane
But I just want you to know

She's the one makes me feel so good
When everything is against me
Picks me up when I'm feeling bad
So I got something to show

*Staring at empty pages
Centered 'round the same old fire
Staring at empty pages
Burning along the edges

Often lost and forgotten
The weakness and the mud
I've been thinking I'm working too hard
But I got something to show

*Repeat
