"I've been mad for fucking years, absolutely years, been
over the edge for yonks, been working me buns off for bands..." "I've always been mad, I know I've been mad, like the most of us...very hard to explain why you're mad, even if you're not mad..." |

Breathe, breathe in the air.
Don't be afraid to care. Leave, don't leave me. Look around and choose your own ground. Long you live and high you fly smiles you'll give and tears you'll cry all you touch and all you see Is all your life will ever be. Run, rabbit run. Dig that hole, forget the sun, And when at last the work is done Don't sit down it's time to dig another one. For long you live and high you fly But only if you ride the tide And balanced on the biggest wave You race towards an early grave. |

Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
You fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town Waiting for someone or something to show you the way Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today And then one day you find ten years have got behind you No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun And you run and you run to catch up with the sun, but it's sinking Racing around to come up behind you again The sun is the same in a relative way, but you're older Shorter of breath and one day closer to death Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way The time has gone, the song is over, thought I'd something more to say |

Remember that night...
White sails in the moonlight They walked it too... Through empty playground, this ghost's town Children again on rusting swings getting higher Sharing a dream On an Island.... it felt right We lay side by side, Between the moon and the tide Mapping the stars for a while Let the night surround you We're half way to the stars, Ebb and flow Let it grow..... feel the warmth beside you Remember that night, The warmth and the laughter Candles burn... Though the church was deserted At dawn we went down through empty streets to the harbour Dreamers may leave ...but we're here everafter... Da da da da da.... Let the night surround you We're half way to the stars, Ebb and flow Let it grow..... feel the warmth beside you... |

Shameless Sea
Aimlessly so blue Midnight moon shines for you Still marooned Silence drifting through Nowhere to choose Just blue Ceaselessly Star-crossed you and me Save our souls We'll be forever blue Waves roll Lift us in blue Drift us Seep right through Color us blue Wait for me Shameless you the Sea Soon the blue So soon Soon the Blue So soon |

All the pieces fall into place
When we walk these fields And I reach out to touch your face This earthly heaven is enough for me So break the bread and pour the wine I need no blessings but I'm counting mine Life is much more than money buys When I see the faith in my children's eyes I've felt the power in a holy place And wished for comfort when in need Now I'm here in a state of grace This earthly heaven is enough for me So break the bread and pour the wine I need no blessings but I'm counting mine Life is much more than money buys When I see the faith in my children's eyes |

Would this do
To make it all right While sleep has taken you Where I'm out of sight I'll make my getaway Time on my own Search for a better way To find my way home To your smile Wasting days and days On this night Always down and up Half the night Hopeless to reminisee Through the dark hours We'll only sacrifice What time will allow us You're sighing... sighing All alone Though you're right here Now it's time to go From your sad stare Make my getaway Time on my own Needing a better way To find my way home To your smile |

Take a breath
Take a deep breath now Take a breath A deep breath now Take a breath When you're down is where you find yourself When you're drown there's nothing else If you're lost you'll need to turn yourself Then you'll find out that there's no one else To make the moves that you can do When you fall from grace your eyes in blue Your every breath becomes another world And the far horizon's living hell Take a breath A deep breath now This kind of love is hard to find I never got to you by being kind If I'm the one to throw you overboard At least I showed you how to swim for shore When you're down is where you'll know yourself Then if you're drown there's nothing else When you're lost you need to find yourself Then you'll find out that there's no one else |

He's sending stones skimming and flying
Circles spinning out his time Though the earth is dying his head is in the stars Chances are this spark's a lifetime Out of touch he'll live in wonder Won't lose sleep he'll just pretend In his world he won't go under Turns without him until the end Rivers run dry but there's no line on his brow Says he doesn't care who's saved It's just the dice you roll, the here and now And he's not guilty or afraid One day he'll slip away Cool water flowing all around In the river and on the ground Leave a pocketful of stones and not believe in other lives Until then he'll live in wonder He won't fight or comprehend In his world he won't go under Turns without him until the end |

Where we start is where we end
We step out sweetly, nothing planned Along by the river we feed bread to the swans And then over the footbridge to the woods beyond We walk ourselves weary, you and I There's just this moment I light a campfire away from the path We lie in the bluebells, a woodpecker laughs Time passes slowly our hearts entwined All of the dark times left behind The day is done The sun sinks low We fold up the blanket, it's time to go We walk ourselves weary, arm in arm Back through the twilight Home again We waltz in the moonlight and the embers glow So much behind us Still far to go |

Remember when you were young, you shone like the sun.
Shine on you crazy diamond. Now there's a look in your eyes, like black holes in the sky. Shine on you crazy diamond. You were caught in the cross fire of childhood and stardom. Blown on the steel breeze. Come on you target for faraway laughter. Come on you stranger, you legend, you martyr, and shine! You reached for the secret too soon, you cried for the moon. Shine on you crazy diamond. Threatened by shadows at night, and exposed in the light. Shine on you crazy diamond. Well you wore out your welcome with random precision. Rode on the steel breeze. Come on you raver, you seer of visions. Come on you painter, you piper, you prisoner, and shine! |

Lime and limpid green
a second scene, A fight between the blue you once knew. Floating down the sound resounds Around the icy waters underground Jupiter and Saturn Oberon Miranda and Titania Neptune Titan Stars can frighten...you Blinding signs flap flicker flicker flicker Blam pow pow Stairway scare Dan Dare,who's there? Lime and limpid green The sound surrounds the icy waters under Lime and limpid green The sound surrounds the icy waters Underground |

When that fat old sun in the sky is falling,
Summer evening birds are calling. Summer's thunder time of year, The sound of music in my ears. Distant bells, New mown grass smells so sweet. By the river holding hands, Roll me up and lay me down. And if you sit, Don't make a sound. Pick your feet up off the ground. And if you hear as the warm night falls The silver sound from a time so strange, Sing to me, sing to me. When that fat old sun in the sky is falling, Summer evening birds are calling. Children's laughter in my ears, The last sunlight disappears. And if you sit, Don't make a sound. Pick your feet up off the ground. And if you hear as the warm night falls The silver sound from a time so strange, Sing to me, sing to me. When that fat old sun in the sky is falling, Summer evening birds are calling. Children's laughter in my ears, The last sunlight disappears. |

Beyond the horizon of the place we lived when we were young
In a world of magnets and miracles Our thoughts strayed constantly and without boundary The ringing of the division bell had begun Along the Long Road and on down the Causeway Do they still meet there by the Cut There was a ragged band that followed our footsteps Running before time took our dreams away Leaving the myriad small creatures trying to tie us to the ground To a life consumed by slow decay The grass was greener The light was brighter With friends surrounded The nights of wonder Looking beyond the embers of bridges glowing behind us To a glimpse of how green it was on the other side Steps taken forwards but sleepwalking back again Dragged by force of some inner tide At a higher altitude with flag unfurled We reached the dizzy heights of that dreamed of world Encumbered forever by desire and ambition There's a hunger still unsatisfied Our weary eyes still stray to the horizon Though down this road we've been so many times The grass was greener The light was brighter The taste was sweeter The nights of wonder With friends surrounded The dawn mist growing The water flowing The endless river Forever and ever |

Overhead the albatross hangs motionless upon the air
And deep beneath the rolling waves In labyrinths of coral caves The echo of a distant time Comes willowing across the sand And everything is green and submarine. And no-one called us to the land And no-one knows the wheres or whys But something stirs and something tries And starts to climb towards the light Strangers passing in the street By chance two separate glances meet And I am you and what I see is me And do I take you by the hand And lead you through the land And help me understand the best I can And no-one calls us to move on And no-one forces down our eyes And no-one speaks and no-one tries And no-one flies around the sun Cloudless everyday you fall upon my waking eyes inviting and inciting me to rise And through the window in the wall Come streaming in on sunlight wings A million bright ambassadors of morning And no-one sings me lullabies And no-one makes me close my eyes And so I throw the windows wide And call to you across the sky |

So, so you think you can tell Heaven from Hell,
Blue skies from pain. Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail? A smile from a veil? Do you think you can tell? And did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts? Hot ashes for trees? Hot air for a cool breeze? Cold comfort for change? And did you exchange a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage? How I wish, how I wish you were here. We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year, Running over the same old ground. What have you found? The same old fears. Wish you were here. |

On the day the wall came down
They threw the locks onto the ground And with glasses high we raised a cry For freedom had arrived On the day the wall came down The Ship of Fools had finally ran aground Promises lit up the night Like paper doves in flight I dreamed you had left my side No warmth, not even pride remained And even though you needed me It was clear that I could not do a thing for you Now life devalues day by day As friends and neighbors turn away And there's a change that, even with regret, Cannot be undone Now frontiers shift like desert sands While nations wash their bloodied hands Of loyalty, of history, In shades of grey I woke to the sound of drums The music played, the morning sun streamed in I turned and I looked at you And all but the bitter residues slipped away...slipped away |

Hello
Is there anybody in there? Just nod if you can hear me. Is there anyone home? Come on, now. I hear you’re feeling down. Well I can ease your pain, Get you on your feet again. Relax. I need some information first. Just the basic facts: Can you show me where it hurts? There is no pain, you are receding. A distant ship’s smoke on the horizon. You are only coming through in waves. Your lips move but I can’t hear what you’re sayin’. When I was a child I had a fever. My hands felt just like two balloons. Now I got that feeling once again. I can’t explain, you would not understand. This is not how I am. I have become comfortably numb. Ok. Just a little pinprick. There’ll be no more --aaaaaahhhhh! But you may feel a little sick. Can you stand up? I do believe it’s working. good. That’ll keep you going for the show. Come on it’s time to go. There is no pain, you are receding. A distant ship’s smoke on the horizon. You are only coming through in waves. Your lips move but I can’t hear what you’re sayin’. When I was a child I caught a fleeting glimpse, Out of the corner of my eye. I turned to look but it was gone. I cannot put my finger on it now. The child is grown, the dream is gone. I have become comfortably numb. |
