Words from the wise, encourage you, carries all your taking on,
Words from the wise, discourage too many people when things go wrong. * Words from the wise, encourage you, carries all your taking on, * Words from the wise, discourage too many people when things go wrong. * I have my doubts, as everyone. Little isle in a stormy sea. * Words from the wise, believe in you, All I do is believe in me. If the going looks to strong, And a little seems too long Only darkness in the night, Turn the darkness into Light the fire inside of yourself I'm the one it's nobody else Listen out. But remember always Your the wise, The wise. * REPEAT When it feels so hard to try, Just a weight, a chain, a lie, Even though you need to fight, make the changes into Light the fire inside of yourself I'm the one it's nobody else Listen out. But remember always Your the wise, The wise. |

Once he could smile maybe happy
Fighting for his future and his destinations There were his friends he'd rely on Everyone had nothing but their aspirations Soon dreaming found realization Winning was his target with deliberation Now he has everything, tell me why No one knows him, the veils shut out cutting the tie So now he's made his own island Not familiar even to his understanding Thoughts turning sour, did he want it? Something reassuring in his time and planning What did he miss, needing nothing? Seeing that it was the fighting and not the winning No returning, no looking back, on with his way Rising winner but falling man, gaining the day |

Yeah, now I'm back here in Hollywood, I pick up the phone, turn the pages
Hi, got a friend and he said I should not be on my own, Come on over, take you to our show. What are you doing? Who do you think you are? You're not even the main star Even if I could come, how would I know you're the one? Who do you think you are? You can put around you're a star Well I might not be on time. Leave my name at the door Well, you can bet here that anyone wants to take a ride No tomorrow So you can bet here that everyone will be at your side Doesn't matter You can't fool around, you're a star |

You'll find an answer, You've got to believe in your own way
of life. So you'll have to find an answer, You'll have to find a way, Try to find, Try to find. You'll try to question her, Does she believe in the choice of your life. So you have to try to ask her, when you are away, left behind, out of mind; away. And in the end you discover, examine, you have to decide if there is an answer, if there is a way, Let her find piece of mind. And another day, all alone, think there is away at home. Every other may, have their own, way of life that is their own. And your wandering only a game to realise no joy your own. And another day, all alone, choice of life is not your own. You'll try to question her, Does she believe in the way of your life. So you have to try to ask her, You'll have to find a way, left behind, out of mind; away. |

And though the hard times,
are really due to me, it is still in me, to wave all this unrest. Things must stay, there must be no change, anyway, time to rearrange. You must believe, that there's been no betrayal all that I've done, I've really done for you. Things must stay, there must be no change, anyway, time to rearrange. Hail, to power and to glory's way. Hail, to power and to glory's way. Must be a reason why plans have turned around not only in me, must also be in you. Things must stay, there must be no change, anyway, time to rearrange. hail ... |

Wheels go 'round, from end to end,
A passage run, go down, descend. And underground the air is stale With blurring light and endless rail. On the wheels in motion, underground. Silent noise, relentless sound. Through shuttered aisle, the wheels go 'round. The day is night, yet never still, >From port to port, with miles to kill. On wheels in motion, underground. Just the locomotion, underground. Windows dark, no view obscured. With moving eyes, no sight assured. Yet moving on, from place to place, Through corridors, without a face. On the wheels in motion, underground. Just the locomotion, underground. |

Why am I using words, no more to say
without you Close the door, put out the lights and go. Late in the night, in the night your shadow falls between us. Nevermore, never know. There, memories are sorrow, When there's no tomorrow. Sleep while the sweet sorrow wakes my daydream; Sleep while you think of me with kindness, please remember former days. Sweet the song that once we sang, the silent parting ways. And you know, and you know, And you know, long ago when first we made our promise - Empty words, I wonder did you know - The laugh that love could not forgive, Is gone and tells no more to live, And we who look in beauty's love; Must now, through all, look back on before - The tears that I first cried, no more; Your love has come and gone, no more. And we who look in beauty's love Must now through all think back on before. Sleep while the sweet sorrow wakes my daydream Sleep while you think of me with kindness, please remember former days. And you know, and you know. And you know, when we two parted in tears and silence past the days, the parting ways. Fare thee well, fare thee well, you that was once dear to me. Think of me with kindness Think of me. |

He is the runaway, Lie low the wanted man
Mask his elusive face, Soon he will getaway and free is his future no more aimless time to spend And evading, he's escaping Four dirty walls and a bed in a cage his home no more. Run in the underwood, Cover and hide the trail Senses like sharpened sword, Guards for the shadow on his tail. And yet his joy is empty and sad. All thoughts are scarred with the prison cell and freedom seems like freedom's hell Hopes stained with strange regret, His dreams are dreams for that he cannot get. And yet his joy is empty and sad. Lose all identity, Vanish in own denial Seeks only lies and hide, Truth never brought to trial. And caught in his own net, he looks to find endless life and evading, he's escaping Four dirty walls and a bed in a cage his home no more. Run in the underwood, Cover and hide the trail Senses like sharpened sword, Guards for the shadow on his tail. |

Sing your song, words that have to continue.
Tell a tale, seal the screen that is in you. Make your peace, face to face that is after. Reasons plain, tears of pain are not laughter. Cast off the mould, buy all you've sold, confidence lost, pay for the cost. Choose your way, realising our mission, figures lay, pulling strings for position. Take your bows, hear the people are calling. Play the game, Take the blame as you're falling. Time to confess, clean up the mess, stand in the white, step in the light. Use the time, show the face that is sorry, for the day, questions leading to worry. Hide your mask, show the face that is sorry. Time to question, answering all their worry. Time to confess, clean up the mess, cast off the mould, buy all you've sold. |

THANK YOU, for staying around so long, I know it's been hard.
You spend half your life, just testing the ground. THANK YOU, I thought you would come to along, I don't know when, And all of those years, Just foolin' around. THANK YOU, for taking me as I am. No better than you. You give me your love, You take it from me. THANK YOU, for staying around so long, I know it's been hard. You spend half your life, just testing the ground. THANK YOU, You like all my funny ways, the things that I do. We both understand, To give and to be. * THANK YOU, For waiting such a long time, And strange that it just had to be. It's true, You look, you keep on trying, Had to keep on trying, Search for half a life time, suddenly it's there. THANK YOU, for being here where I am, It's better by far Not living alone, The future to share. THANK YOU, for loving me like you do, for being my friend, And taking my hand, and sharing my cares. * REPEAT.... |

No better than you You give me your love, You take it from me THANK YOU, for staying around so long, I know it's been hard You spend half your life, just testing the ground THANK YOU, You like all my funny ways, the things that I do We both understand, To give and to be THANK YOU, For waiting such a long time, And strange that it just had to be It's true, You look, you keep on trying, Had to keep on trying, Search for half a life time, suddenly it's there THANK YOU, for being here where I am, It's better by far Not living alone, The future to share THANK YOU, for loving me like you do, for being my friend, And taking my hand, and sharing my cares THANK YOU, For waiting such a long time, And strange that it just had to be It's true, You look, you keep on trying, Had to keep on trying, Search for half a life time, suddenly it's there THANK YOU, for being here where I am, It's better by far Not living alone, The future to share THANK YOU, for loving me like you do, for being my friend, And taking my hand, and sharing my cares |

Smooth-talkin', slow-walkin' tell no lie
Cool is the fool with the eagle eye Spending my time Drunk and living fast Nobody knows what lies in my past. I'm lookin' back My life is cryin' out What did I do What was I all about? * OH, take me * Save me from my misery * OH, take me * I want to be free * OH, take me * Take my hand and help me on * OH, take me * I will soon be gone Good-timin', all-nightin' in the shade No thinkin' nobody's had it made Stole no control on my evil hands. I tossed a coin blind to where it lands. My how the time flies It just passes by. I turned around It looked me in the eye. * REPEAT..... My how the time flies It just passes by. I turned around It looked me in the eye. * REPEAT..... |

And we're sitting here
Wondering where the peaceful night has gone. Over factories. Shadows on the street, our lives still go on. Another day, the songs the same. Forget our dreams, and play the game. The shadows on our street are clearer now, in light, We see, this is as it's meant to be. Don't look there, just look at me. And it's waking now And the grayness of the day will be here, Want you near. |

* Rock climber, Good-timer, follows the songs through the night * In the night * Backstager, All-nighter, Fills you with praise till it's light. She's waited for you (or me). She saw you there on T.V. And said you looked good, not like you could, You're better in life you see. Remember her friend last year, Knew John with the lighting gear, You've such a nice face, what time what place, Do you want to meet me tomorrow not there, she's a... * REPEAT..... And then when she's in your room, it's over she calls your tune. She crazes your head, takes you to bed, All over for her too soon. No tears when you say goodbye, You'll write, well you say you'll try She goes like a dream, to dream new schemes, Tonight there's more faces, in all the same places, she's a... |

Touching the last of what is past
Moving silent water fell the first that comes. Slow and winding, flowing free Peaceful music in its sound of distant drums. Trust the shallow virgin stream Danger wild, beware the deeper it becomes. Moving highway, twisting byway Can't turn back. Singing in the summer rain Rain that's caught in its flow. Spreading, shining, silver lining Gold on black. Echoes moods of the moon and sun Sun that shines from below. Makes a soft and easy way Left to choose its path will always be a friend. Touch the last of what has past. Never idle river drifting to the end. |

Gather round the village square
Come good people both wretched and fair. See the troubadour play on the drum Hear my songs on the lute that I strum. I will make you laugh, Revel, Merry-dance. Throw your pennies, then you'll hear more of the story-telling half. There's no other chance, Always move on Raconteur, troubadour. Take the face that you see for the man, Clown and minstrel, I am what I am. All my family, not of my kin. Home, wherever, the place that I'm in. Humors give me wage, Favors for my art. Rising, falling Everyone struggle on. All the world's a stage All can play their part. I have chosen Raconteur, troubadour. Dusk is drawing my story is spun, Dawn is falling my day's work is done. Morning, rested I set on my way. Find new faces to offer my play. I will make you laugh, Revel, Merry-dance. Throw your pennies, then you'll hear more of The story-telling half. There's no other chance. Always move on Raconteur-Troubadour. |

Three friends are made, three lives are laughs and tears
Through years of school and play they share As time stands still the days change into years And future comes without a care. But fate and skill and chances play their part The wind of change leaves no good-bye Three boys are men their ways have drawn apart They tell their tales to justify. |

As I hold the key to the back door
of the world I feel my Hand touching bounds never had before. I can view the power of my position and my eyes can see more than anyone in any place, I'll play the game and never ever lose. I'm the king in fighting competition and the other pieces are there for my art and my tactics now. All my games are won before they're played for I have planned that no opposition can stage a fight I'll play the game and never ever lose. My thoughts never spoken only the visions inside my head the truth never broken within my silent words left unsaid. I will steer the helm of all the nation as the captain take my rewards for all the good I'm doing now, and no words that I'm the knave will alter my philosophy for if any are heard, the games started again I'll never ever lose. |

I'll remember the good things how can you forget all the years that we shared in our way: Things were changing my life, taking your place in my life and our time drifting away: All around all around |

You walk in here, and it seems you think
You own the place. You ruin the sinks and you write on the wall. After all the consideration given you, I thought you would be grateful, But no, you're not at all. [Chorus] What can I do, what can I do, I've tried. What can I say, do it my way. Don't you forget, never forget, I'm Number One, yes, I'm Number One. Number One, and you're still no one. You say you're angry, It doesn't make much sense to me. You're paying your rent, And at least you've got a job. I've explained all the sacrifices offered you. You take them without thanks, I forget that you're still slobs. [Repeat Chorus] |

Now she sits by the riverside
Watching the waters glide by, With a sigh And the things she put faith in Are ripples just waving her by With a sigh She sees lovers pass by with much more than a kiss Ah this little girl who had everything finds she's nothing at all Now the wind seems so cold Seems all old as it laughs at her fears And her tears And as ducks swim away from her Visions of past love appear In her tears She sees love in his face as she tells him to go, And so here's a girl who had everything now she's Nothing at all What could she do if she saw him now; Now that he's gone she's losing If she could see what she's seeing now For sure she's more than just choosing Now she sits by the riverside Watching the waters glide by, With a sigh And the things she put faith in Are ripples just waving her by, With a sigh She sees lovers pass by with much more than a kiss Ah this little girl who had everything finds She's nothing at all |

* No stranger, No danger in your home.
* It's walking, It's talking on it's own. * No stranger, No danger in your home. * It's walking, It's talking on it's own. One staring eye with no sight or feature It only winks, when there's time to think. It tells you nothing, but still your teacher. And still you take it, It makes you hate it, Takes care that you're always there. * REPEAT..... It makes you safe moving with protection. A mind for you trying very hard. And still you cant make the disconnection. Does all it's told to,tells what it wants to, Says all that you have to know. * REPEAT..... |

Now the words and claims are seen as always
the way they'll always be, way they'll always be. Truth is halfway true, the man is only a man who fails to know, the people shouting for him have turned now telling him to go. Powers that have place, esteemed positions telling him to cry, telling him to cry, Soon another song is sung, in turn for existing blame and then Apologise, conditions turn, then it happens all again. After all the things are said, no God's a man, no God's a man, and yet after all the things are said, no God's a man, must happen all again. After all the things are said, no God's a man, no God's a man, and yet after all the things are said, no God's a man, and then again. |

Now the wings fell to ground as the miles they were crossed
All the years seemed like days as the time it was lost For without his solutions and reasons for why He should come up for air to the town once his by So soon on his way Shadows from the pathways Memories of old days That the journey was long many thoughts filled his mind As he neared the stop always a dream he would find But the road that he knew could no longer be seen And the city lights flickered where lake waters gleamed With sadness today Hopes of joy yesterday Memories of old days Sky and the trees of his youthful time spent Only smoke, only paper.

HOLD ON;
To the little brown bag. If it's all (that) she has to show, Torn like a rag, Crazy lady she doesn't know, LOOK IN; Cos there's nothing inside, Was there anything anytime Little Brown Bag; She'll be there in the morning, sitting alone with her world in her hands, No goodnight in the evening, The city it understands, the circumstance. DREAM ON; In the, little brown bag. Maybe here she's better than you Torn like a rag, Look away it's good that you do. MAYBE; As you're, staring too hard, You could see that somehow it's real Little Brown Bag. What did she turn her back on, Was it the nightmare she couldnt face; Look around, It may tell you, She only puts a good case, So lady, HOLD ON...... |
