Asia - Greatest Hits Live [compilation, live] (2006) by Asia (보컬) on maniadb.com

Fate looks certain but there's nothing guaranteed
Want for nothing, but is nothing what you need?
Always pushing but you're never satisfied
I did believe you 'til I found out that you lied

Chorus:
Time and time again
Time and time again again

For what I give you I get nothing in return
Can't forgive you watching all your bridges burn
All day long I sat and watched you do it wrong
Have to say that's how you did it all along

Chorus

But others wouldn't see things you could only see
And someone showed you, then why was it always me
You knew the limit you were always out of bounds
How could I trust you when I caught you messing 'round

Chorus

When I ride the hounds of hell
Twist my foot, I nearly fell
I was lucky I was alive
One look back, I could have died

I was the sole survivor
Sole survivor, sole survivor
Solitary fire

When I saw it I was amazed
One time glory right in my gaze
I saw the sorry, I saw the joy
Light in the darkness none could destroy

And from the wreckage I will arise
Cast the ashes back in their eyes
See the fire I will defend
Just keep on burning right to the end

I'll be the sole survivor
Sole survivor

Hard Times you had before you
I knew when I first saw you
You girl you've always been mistreated, cheated

So leave it all behind you
It took so long to find you
I know that we can last forever, ever and more, more, oh

Don't cry now that I've found you
Don't cry take a look around you
Don't cry it took so long to find you
Do what you want, but little darling please, don't cry

I knew I'd never doubt it
I was so sure about it
Don't think of all that's been before

I'll hear you when you're calling
I'll catch you when you're falling
Don't worry I will always be there
Like never before, oh, oh

Don't cry now that I've found you
Don't cry take a look around you
Don't cry it took so long to find you
Do what you want, but little darling please, don't cry

Don't cry now that I've found you
Don't cry take a look around you
Don't cry it took so long to find you
Do what you want, but little darling please, don't cry

Don't cry now that I've found you
Don't cry take a look around you
Don't cry it took so long to find you
Do what you want, but little darling please, don't cry

Only Time Will Tell
by Asia




You're leaving now
It's in your eyes
There's no disguising it
It really comes as no surprise
To find that you planned it all along

I see it now
Becomes so clear
Your insincerity
And me all starry-eyed
You'd think that I would have known by now

Now, sure as the sun will cross the sky
The lie is over
Lost, like the tears that used to tide me over

CHORUS:
Only time will tell
One thing is sure
That time will tell
Only time will tell
If you were wrong
The brightest ring around the moon
Will darken when I die

Now sure as the sun will cross the sky
The lying's over
Gone, like the tears that used to tide me over

You're leaving now
It's in your eyes
There's no disguising it
It really comes as no surprise
To find that you planned it all along

Only time will tell
I see it now, become so clear
Only time will tell
Your insincerity
And me all starry-eyed
You'd think that I would have known by now

Now, sure as the sun will cross the sky
The lie is over
Lost, like the tears that used to tide me over

Only time will tell
You're on your own inside your room
Only time will tell
You're claiming victory
You were just using me
And there is no one you can use now
Only time will tell
One thing is sure...

{chorus}
Rock and roll dream
Not what it seems
Who is the dreamer now?

When I see the faces from the limousine
No chance of our survival
Armed forces, guardians of the law
Awaiting our arrival

They all are young
We all were young
And I've seen this place before
Open up the door
Let us in

All the things I've seen
Words I said, I didn't mean
Feelings, I took for granted
But now reality
One thing we could never see
Everything, we always wanted

They all are young
We all were young
And I've seen this place before
Open up the door
Let us in

{chorus}

If I had the choice
Words came through my voice
I should have left unspoken
Now it's obvious
Clear to all of us
The dream that now is broken

Take the stage tonight
Go face the lights
With this image you should keep
You're crying in your sleep
Tonight

{chorus}

Sundown dazzling day
Gold through my eyes
But my eyes, turned within, only see
Starless and Bible black

Old friend charity
Cruel twisted smile
And the smile signals emptiness for me
Starless and Bible black

Ice blue silver sky
Fades into grey
To a grey hope that, oh, yearns to be
Starless and Bible black

I saw you standing hand in hand
But now you come to me the solitary man
And I know what it is that made us live
Such ordinary lives
The where to go, the who to see
No one could sympathize

The smile has left your eyes
The smile has left your eyes

And I've become a rolling stone
I don't know where to go
Or what to call my own
But I can see that black horizon
Looming ever close to view
It's over now, it's not my fault
See how this feels for you

The smile has left your eyes
The smile has left your eyes

I never thought I'd see you
Standing there with him
So don't come crawlin' back to me

I saw you standing hand in hand
But now you come to me the solitary man
And I know what it is that made us live
Such ordinary lives
The where to go, the who to see
No one could sympathize

The smile has left your eyes
Now it's too late you realized
Now there's no one can sympathize
Now that the smile has left your eyes

Now it's too late you realized
Now there's no one can sympathize
Now it's too late you realized
Now that the smile has left your eyes

The smile has left your eyes

(Wetton/Downes)

They decorated all the generals
Who fought the wars behind the lines
They had forgotten all the soldiers
The brandy put them way behind the times

Insanity has found its way to TV screens
Vision seems impossible to me
They fight {they fight} for king {for king} and country
I never would have thought this in my

{chorus}
Wildest dreams
Wildest dreams
Wildest dreams
Wildest dreams

The evening comes, we sit and watch the VJs
Clips and rushes come from who knows where
From Washington across to California
With fighting breaking out in Leicester Square

We see the soldiers moving on to victory
And children trampled under marching feet
They fight {they fight} for king {for king} and country
How many millions will they put to sleep?

{chorus}
Wildest dreams
Wildest dreams
Wildest dreams
Wildest dreams

Fly away...


No, not in this world
No, not in the next
No, not in my wildest dreams

They recommended euthanasia
For non-conformists anywhere
Some men's dreams for others turn to nightmares
This never would have happened in my

{chorus}
Fly away...

No, not in this world
No, not in the next
No, not in my wildest dreams...

You walk tall, got your heads in the clouds
You talk soft, but you're thinking aloud
And you know, exactly what you want

You box shy, you're hard to get
You got the face that I can't forget
And I know, I know the heat goes on

I know that the heat goes on
I know that the heat goes on

You play tight, you're nobody's fool
Not cold, but I know that you're cool
Look at you, I know the heat goes on

Now tell me, with your hand on your heart
That you knew, you were right from the start
And you know, you knew it all along

You know that the heat goes on
You know that the heat goes on

Go
by Asia



Dig for victory, go for gold
I don't wanna die before I get old
And I wonder where I'm going to
There's some way out, there's some way through
But I'm lost, I'm lost, I'm down again
My direction is changing, which way,
Which way can I go...

Get up and go

You start me up, you slow me down
No one can deny you get around
When you're hot, you're cold, you're in between
Asking myself what does it mean?
And I walk that tightrope, you should know
I'm losing my balance, maybe,
Maybe I should go...

Get up and go

Face to face in sympathy
But now you turn your back on me
Turn a card and win, but you may lose
Fate only has that right to choose
If you're right, leave me here, I'll die alone
You've got the time, you've just got time
You got the time just go...

Get up and go
Go

Just go...

Heat Of The Moment
by Asia




I never meant to be so bad to you
One thing I said that I would never do
One look from you and I would fall from grace
And that would wipe this smile right from my face

Do you remember when we used to dance
And incidence arose from circumstance
One thing lead to another we were young
And we would scream together songs unsung

It was the heat of the moment
Telling me what your heart meant
Heat of the moment shone in your eyes

And now you find yourself in 82
The disco hotspots hold no charm for you
You can't concern yourself with bigger things
You catch the pearl and ride the dragon's wings


And when your looks are gone and you're alone
How many nights you sit beside the phone
What were the things you wanted for yourself
Teenage ambition you remember well

What on earth are you doing here, in the
western world?
Another situation yeah you're a different girl
You have lived your life dreaming you were
someone else
Succeeding's believing in yourself

Open your eyes
And see the world that stands before you now
Open your eyes
And see the world that stands in front of you

You have spent your days trying for
something new
You have looked at magazine girls, wishing
that they were you
Do you see in photographs an angel that once
was you?
Does she tell you stories that are true?

Open your eyes
And see the world that stands before you now
Open your eyes
And see the world that stands in front of you

If I could stand with you right now and speak
my mind
I would tell you no lies
I would shoot straight between the eyes
You have stared a thousand times, right into
the lens
Have you ever thought just once, does it all make sense?
Your beauty is eternal so don't just pretend
Got to wake up girl, or it's the end...
