No Son of Mine
Well, the key to my survival was never in much doubt the question was how I could keep sanetrying to find a way outthings were never easy for me peace of mind was hard to find and I needed a place where I could hide somewhere I could call mineI didn't think much about it til it started happening all the time soon I was living with the fear everyday of what might happen at nightI couldn't stand to hear the crying of my motherand I remember when I swore that, that would be the last they'd see of me and I never went home againthey say time is a healer and now my wounds are not the same I rang the bell with my heart in my mouth I had to hear what he'd sayHe sat me down to talk to me he looked me straight in the eyeshe said: You're no son, no son of mine You're no son, no son of mine You walked out, you left us behind and you're no son, no son of mine Oh his words how they hurt me, I'll never forget it and as the time, it went by, I lived to regret it You're no son, no son of minebut where should I go and what should I doyou're no son,no son of mine but I came herefor help, I came here for you Well the years they passed slowly I thought about him everyday what would I do, if we passed on the street would I keep running away in and out of hiding places soon I'd have to face the facts we'd havw to sit down and talk it over and that would mean going back they say that time is a healer and now my wounds are not the same I rang the bell with my heart in my mouth I had to hear what he'd say He sat me down to talk ro me he looked straight in the eye she said:You're no son of mine. |

In the early 1800's, large groups of mainly unskilled labourers built England's Railways. The cost in human terms alone was very high...
Leaving my family behind me not knowing what lay ahead waving goodbye, as I left them in tears remembering all we'd said I looked to the sky, I offered my prayers I asked Him for guidance and strength but the simple beliefs of a simple man lay in His hands, and on my head I gave everything that they wanted but still they wanted more we sweat and we toiled good men lost their lives I don't think they knew what for I sold them my heart I sold them my soul I gave everything I had ah but they couldn't break my spirit my dignity fought back, fightback can you hear me can you see Don't you hear me don't you see We worked in gangs for all we were worth the young boys pulling the wagons we were digging the tunnel, shifting the earth it was then that it happened. No-one knew how the cracks appeared but as it fell they all disappeared stone fell like rain Can you hear me, Can you see Don't you hear me Can you breathe The smoke cleared, the dust it settled No one knew how many had died all around there were broken men they'd said it was safe, they'd lied you could hear the cries, you could smell the fear but good fortune that day was mine and it occurred to me the heart of a good man it seems is hard to find. Can you hear me, can you see Don't you hear me don't you see We worked, how we worked like the devil for our pay through the wind, through the snow, and through the rain Blasting and cutting through Gods country like a knife sweat stinging my eyes, there has to be a better life Ah but I can hear my childrens' cry I can see the tears in their eyes memories of those I've left behind still ringing in my ears Will I ever go back again Will I ever see her face again I'll never forget that night As they waved goodbye to their fathers We came from the North, and we came from the South with picks and with spades and a new kind of order showing no fear of what lies up ahead They'll never see the likes of us again Driving the last spike, lifting and laying the track with blistering hands, the sun burning your back Oh but I can hear my childrens' cry I can see the tears in their eyes memories of those I've left behind still ringing in my ears Well I'll always remember that night, As they waved goodbye to their fathers We followed the rail, we slept under the stars digging in darkness, and living with danger showing no fear of what lies up ahead they'll never see the likes of us again can you hear me can you see Don't you hear me don't you see |

In and out of darkness, in and out of sleep
trying to keep my hands upon the wheel. Never saw the corner in the driving rain. I never saw her step into the street. Dreaming while you sleep dreaming while you sleep memories to keep dreaming while you sleep I can never understand what went thru my mind I didn't stop to see what I had done. Had to keep on driving deep into the night the miles between would somehow put it right Dreaming while you sleep dreaming while you sleep memories to keep dreaming while you sleep All my life you lie silently there All my life in a world so unfair All my life and only I'll know why and it will live inside of me, I will never be free all my life, trapped in her memory all my life Till the day that you open your eyes, please open your eyes Dreaming while you sleep dreaming while you sleep Heard it on the radio, saw it on TV, but could I take my secret to the grave. If I had another chance, would I do the same. Would I still deny that it was me. Dreaming while you sleep dreaming while you sleep Dreaming while you sleep, Are you dreaming while you sleep? All my life I'll be haunted by all my life just one moment in time all my life until the day I die and it will live inside of me Oh I will never be free all my life trapped in her memory all my life Till the day that you open your eyes All of my life - you lie silently there All my life - in a world so unfair All my life - and only I know why And it will live inside of me I will never be free all my life Trapped in her memory - all my life Till the day that you open your eyes. All of my life. Just one moment of time, all my life. |

oh if only we could do it all again but now it's just another fading memory out of focus, though the outline still remains Far away, away, fading distant lights leaving us all behind, lost in a changing world and you know that these are the days of our lives remember Like the story that we wish was never ending We know sometime we must reach the final page still we carry on just pretending that there'll always be one more day to go Far away, away, fading distant lights leaving us all behind, lost in a changing world and you know that these are the days of our lives so remember... Another chance hello, another goodbye and so many things we'll never see again days of life that seemed so unimportant they seem to matter but to count much later on Far away, away, fading distant lights leaving us all behind, lost in a changing world and you know that these are the days of our lives remember |

"Can you tell me where my country lies?" said the unifaun to his true love's eyes. "It lies with me!" cried the Queen of Maybe - for her merchandise, he traded in his prize. "Paper late!" cried a voice in the crowd. "Old man dies!" The note he left was signed "Old Father Thames" - it seems he's drowned; selling England by the pound. Citizens of Hope & Glory, Time goes by - it's 'the time of your life'. Easy now, sit you down. Chewing through your Wimpey dreams, They eat, without a sound Digesting England by the pound. Young man says, "you are what you eat" - eat well. Old man says "you are what you wear" - wear well. You know what you are, you don't give a damn; bursting your belt that is your homemade sham. The Captain leads his dance right on through the night - join the dance . . . Follow on! Till the Grail sun sets in the mould. Follow on! Till the gold is cold. Dancing out with the moonlit knight, Knights of the Green Shield stamp and shout. There's a fat old lady outside the saloon; laying out the credit cards she plays Fortune. The deck is uneven right from the start; and all of their hands are playing a part. Captain leads his dance right on through the night - join the dance . . . Follow on! A Round Table-talking down we go. You're the show! Off we go with: You play the hobbyhorse, I'll play the fool. We'll tease the bull ringing round & loud, loud & round. Follow on! With a twist of the world we go. Follow on! Till the gold is cold. Dancing out with the moonlit knight, Knights of the Green Shield stamp and shout. |

It's one o'clock and time for lunch,
When the sun beats down and I lie on the bench, I can always hear them talk. There's always been Ethel: "Jacob, wake up! You've got to tidy your room now." And then Mister Lewis: "Isn't it time that he was out on his own?" Over the garden wall, two little lovebirds - cuckoo to you! Keep them moving blades sharp... I know what I like, and I like what I know; getting better in your wardrobe, stepping one beyond your show. Sunday night, Mr Farmer called, said: "Listen son, you're wasting your time; there's a future for you in the fire escape trade. Come up to town!" But I remebered a voice from the past; "Gambling only plays when you're winning" - I had to thank old Miss Mort for schooling a failure. Keep them moving blades sharp... I know what I like, and I like what I know; getting better in your wardrobe, stepping one beyond your show. When the sun beats down and I lie on the bench, I can always hear them talk. Me, I'm just a lawnmower - you can tell me by the way I walk |

The path is clear, though no eyes can see The course laid down long before And so with gods and men, the sheep remain inside their pen Though many times they've seen the way to leave He rides majestic, past homes of men Who care not or gaze with joy To see reflected there, the trees, the sky, the lily fair The scene of death is lying just below The mountains cut off the town from view Like a cancer growth is removed by skill Let it be revealed A waterfall, his madrigal An inland sea, his symphony Undinal songs urge the sailors on 'Till lured by the siren's cry... Now as the river dissolve in sea So Neptune has claimed another soul And so with gods and men, the sheep remain inside their pen Until the shepherd leads his flock away The sands of time were eroded by The river of constant change |

Here am I
Who while away the mornings Since you've gone Too long have I lain alone Not knowing which way to turn. And there you are Quite sure that you were right Knowing full well That I'd be the first one To go down. And you'd be the one who was laughing Except when things weren't going your way And then the lady would say that she'd had enough Wandering around on her own. The day you left Well I think you knew you'd not be back Well at least it would seem that way Because you never said goodbye. But when it comes round to you and me I'm sure it will work out alright. And you'd be the one who was laughing And giving me something I don't need And you know, I'd always hold you and keep you warm Oh! more fool me. But when it comes Round to you and me I ask myself Do I really believe In your love. And yes, I'm sure it will work out alright. |

(Taken from a news story concerning two rival gangs fighting over East-End Protection rights)
Along the Forest Road, there's hundreds of cars - luxury cars. Each has got its load of convertible bars, cutlery cars - superscars! For today is the day when they sort it out, sort it out, 'Cos they disagree on a gangland boundary. Yes, they disagree on a gangland boundary. There's Willy Wright and his boys - one helluva noise, that's Billy's boys! With fully fashioned mugs, that's Little John's thugs, the Barking Slugs - supersmugs! For today is the day when they sort it out, sort it out, Yes, these Christian soldiers fight to protect the poor, East end heroes got to score in... The Battle of Epping Forest, yes it's the Battle of Epping Forest, right outside your door. No, you ain't seen nothing like it, No, you ain't seen nothing like it, Not since the Civil War. Coming over the hill are the boys of Bill, And Johnny's lads stand very still. With the thumpire's shout, they all start to clout - There's no guns in this gentleman's bout. Georgie moves in on the outside left With a chain flying round his head; And Harold Demure, from Art Literature, Nips up the nearest tree. (Here comes the cavalry!) Amidst the battle roar, Accountants keep the score: 10-4 They've never been alone, after getting a radiophone. The bluebells are ringing for Sweetmeal Sam, real ham, Handing out bread and jam just like any picnic picnic,picnic,picnic It's 5-4 on William Wright; he made his pile on Derby night. When Billy was a kid, walking the streets, the other kids hid - so they did! And now, after working hard in security trade, he's got it made. The shops that need aid are those that haven't paid. "I do my dobule-show quick!" said Mick the Prick, fresh out the nick. "I sell cheap holiday. The minute they leave, then a visit I pay - and does it pay!" And his friend, Liquid Len by name, of Wine Women and Wandsworth fame, said "I'm breaking the legs of the bastard that got me framed! I'm breaking the legs of the bastard that got me framed! Got me framed!" They called me the Reverend when I entered the Church unstained; My employers have changed but the name has remained. It all began when I went on a tour, Hoping to find some furniture. I followed a sign - it said "Beautiful Chest." It led to a lady who showed me her best. She was taken by surprise when I quickly closed my eyes. So she rang the bell, and quick as hell Bob the Nob came out of his job To see what the trouble was. "Louise, is the Reverend hard to please?" "You're telling me!" "Perhaps, sir, it's not too late, We could interest you in our old-fashioned Staffordshire plate?" "Oh no, not me, I'm a man of repute." But the Devil caught hold of my soul and a voice called out "Shoot!" To save my steeple, I visited people; For this I'd gone when I met Little John. His name came, I understood, When the judge said "You are a robbing hood." He told me of his strange foundation, Conceived on sight of the Woodstock nation; He'd had to hide his reputation. When poor, 'twas salvation from door to door. But now, with a pin-up guru every week, It's Love, Peace & Truth Incorporated for all who seek. He employed me as a karmamechanic, with overall charms. His hands were then fit to receive, receive alms. That's why we're in The Battle of Epping Forest, yes it's the Battle of Epping Forest, Right outside your door. We guard your souls for peanuts, And we guard your shops and houses For just a little more Just a little more In with a left hook is the Bethnal Green Butcher, But he's countered on the right by Mick's chain-gang fight, And Liquid Len, with his smashed bottle men, Is lobbing Bob the Nob across the gob. With his kisser in a mess, Bob seems under stress, But Jones the Jug hits Len right in the mug; And Harold Demure, who's still not quite sure, Fires acorns from out of his sling. (Here come the cavalry!) Up, up above the crowd, Inside their Silver Cloud, done proud, The bold and brazen brass, seen darkly through the glass. The butler's got jam on his Rolls; Roy doles out the lot, With tea from a silver pot just like any picnic. picnic, picnic, picnic Along the Forest Road, it's the end of the day and the Clouds roll away. Each has got its load - they'll come out for the count at the break-in of day. When the limos return for their final review, it's all through - All they can see is the morning goo. "There's no-one left alive - must be a draw." So the Blackcap Barons toss a coin to settle the score. |

Home from work our Juliet
Clears her morning meal. She dabs her skin with pretty smells Concealing to appeal. I will make my bed, She said, but turned to go. Can she be late for her cinema show? Cinema show? Romeo locks his basement flat, And scurries up the stair. With head held high and floral tie, A weekend millionaire. I will make my bed With her tonight, he cries. Can he fail armed with his chocolate surprise? Take a little trip back with father Tiresias, Listen to the old one speak of all he has lived through. I have crossed betwen the poles, for me there's no mystery. Once a man, like the sea I raged, Once a woman, like the earth I gave. There is in fact more earth than sea. Take a little trip back with father Tiresias, Listen to the old one speak of all he has lived through. I have crossed betwen the poles, for me there's no mystery.

What was it you said to me
Back in the days when things looked fine 'bout how we would be together Until we left the earth behind Oh, it's funny how things can change Cos there was a time I thought I'd be the one Who'd leave and start again But now I'd stay forever Ooh my hopes are as the leaves upon the water Just sunk in the night And though I know you couldn't care, you oughtta Ah, the end of a life Or maybe when you're older, and you're thinking back You might recall Now did I act carefully, did I do right? Or were we meant to be, all of our lives In love and harmony, all of our lives? So now, take my hand Come, hold me closely As near as you can Believing all that we could be And all that we have been And all that we are Everyday seems summertime The river flow with wine Ooh when you were here with me I wish we'd stayed that way forever Oh my hopes are as the leaves upon the water Just sunk in the night And though I know you couldn't care, you oughtta Ah, the end of a life Or maybe when you're older, and you're thinking back Well you might recall Now did I act carefully, did I do right? Or were we meant to be, all of our lives In love and harmony, all of our lives? So now, take my hand Come, hold me closely As near as you can Believing all that we could be And all that we have been And all that we are Oh my hopes were as the leaves upon the water Ah, sunk in the night And though I know you couldn't care, you oughtta Oh, the end of a life And maybe when you're older, and you're thinking back Oh, you might recall Now did I act carefully, did I do right? Or were we meant to be, all of our lives In love and harmony, all of our lives? So now, take my hand Come, hold me closely As near as you can Believing all that we could be And all that we have been And all that we are |

Ma would never say what happened
And we knew better than push too hard We knew we had all the chores to tend to Like fixing fences and helping her Washing dishes and making coffee Me and Virgil'd chop some wood But we'd stop our swinging Just to listen to her crying It didn't sound too good I can remember, too well But we never thought to pay much heed We learned to live life the best we could But then one day pa upped and left us High and dry without a word Seemed a pity My ma was pretty But I soon learned life ain't that way And I can remember hearing her weeping While we were sleeping next to her I can remember I'll never forgive and I'll never forget Cos pa you broke her heart Ooh pa you broke her heart You broke her heart Ooh pa you broke her heart Well the years rolled by And 'fore we knew it Our sister got married and moved out west I stayed with ma, cos I couldn't desert her I knew it would hurt her to be alone So we pulled tighter We said we'd try to make things easy And raise a smile But as the night came We'd hear her crying Praying for pa to come back again I can remember I'll never forgive him and I'll never forget Cos pa you broke her heart Oh pa you broke her heart And then the winter came I'd never known it colder Ooh it seemed the worst for years And the night she died I swear I saw her smiling Saying I was a big boy now, no tears So I packed up all we had, and Virgil got the horses And we paid our last respects and gave the whip a crack Ooh, seemed a big bad world, we were riding into Me and Virgil both agreed, we best head off And don't look back Nothing but desert all around Oh it made me wonder Lord it's hard to carry on When you're sick with hunger Weeks and months of sleeping rough Keeping clear of danger Seems we were miles from anywhere And too far gone to change it We'd best keep going, don't look back Well me and Virgil we beat the desert Riding fast and riding hard We hit the city, the past behind us So we raised some hell, we had some fun But real soon I met a lady oh so pretty, and oh so fine 'fore too long I found myself married With a home of my own and a blue eyed son And 'til this day I can hear ma saying to me - "You're a big boy now" |

The winter's bitterness is lost
It's the fireside warmth that comforts me The peace for all my thoughts The night brings shadows to the street It's the time for dreams of things to come To creep inside their lives You're concealing every feeling Can you find me, deep inside you Let me touch you, let me keep you Let me know you're there You're concealing every feeling Can you find me, no Yes deep inside you're a part of me Every day I need to know I'm there, I'm there, I'm there The evening fantasy begins In the sandy lanes that cross the fields The gentle rain will fall The morning sweeps away the night And the dreams of you still haunt my thoughts Bring meaning to my life You're concealing every feeling Can you find me, deep inside you Let me touch you, let me keep you Let me know you're there You're concealing every feeling Can you find me, no Yes deep inside you're a part of me Every day I need to know I'm there, I'm there, I'm there Can you hold me with your small hand Prepare much, length and beauty of our tiny lives Future's brighter now Our world is everything to me, to know, I'm there Lord! You see the world is brighter than the sky The sky is shining everywhere in our world You know you never said in your many times, all in me instead |

Ooh, it seems that I can speak. I can hear my voice shoutin' out. But there's no reply at all. Look at me, you never look at me. Ooh, I've been sittin, starin', seems so long.

The fires are burning in another land.
Don't start counting, don't start counting. Colder and colder, the ice is moving closer And it gets me down. Going round and round and down the same old track, Pack on my back. Going swiftly nowhere, heart in my ear Beating like a drum. Where will you go? All by yourself. (Hah, hah, hah, hah, hah, hah.) And now I'm standing on the corner, waiting in the rain, But then in sunlight without warnin', I invent a name. Me and Sarah Jane, we had a special thing goin'. Me and Sarah Jane. It was a time of love and laughter. It wouldn't come again. We had our round of joyful laughter. Then began the pain. Me and Sarah Jane, we had a special thing goin'. Me and Sarah Jane. (Sarah Jane.) I'm searching for a clue, traces on the sand. First, I'm flying, going round, round, round. Then, I'm sliding, going down, down, down. Doesn't matter - where I start, I always end up, Crawling through those same old crowded rooms. Me and Sarah Jane, we had it coming, all the pain. Walkin' down the streets and finding nothing is the same. And now the city lights are dimmin' one by one, It costs too much money to keep them on. Me and Sarah Jane, in silence walk along the shore, Tears of joy and mocking laughter, words lost in the wind. The tide was risin' but there we stayed, We had no fear of dying, we weren't afraid |

Found that man, reported missing
He wandered in his home Don't seem too bad, if you consider Just what he's been through Seems he met up with a gang of thieves Who mistook him for a man of means They locked him up then found he had no money So they let him go again Now he's back at home and happy Just to see the kids I wish, that I could really tell you All the things that happened to me And all that I have seen A world full of people their hearts full of joy Cities of light with no fear of war And thousands of creatures with happier lives And dreams of a future with meaning and no need to hide Keep it dark It seems strange to have to lie About a world so bright And tell instead a made up story From the world of night I wish, that I could really tell you All the things that happened to me And all that I have seen A world full of people their hearts full of joy Cities of light with no fear of war And thousands of creatures with happier lives And dreams of a future with meaning and no need to hide No need to hate No need to hide Keep it dark |

And nobody knows him, And nobody cares, 'Cos there's no hiding place, There's no hiding place - for you. Looking everywhere at no one, He sees everything and nothing at all - oh.

You're rolling your days Right on into the night The head of the line's Going way out of sight Go West, young man Like your family said All along the wagons All along the dusty trail Seventeen years Not over a day Like children in the wild Your mother's milk Still wet on your face And no one to pray for Your safe journey home Out beyond the desert Across the mountains by the fall Servants who leave their masters house Are walking all the way The golden fields that beckoned you Are darkened by the years Go West, Young Man If you knew then What you know today You'd be back where you started A happier man And leave all the glory To those who have remained So Go West, Young Man Go West, Young Man Like your family said |

I saw your picture, heard you call my name There was something strange, I could not look away I wanted to be there, I wanted to go You gave me no warning, you gave no reason But I was with you, right by your side Just give me the strength and I can help you They can try their hardest, they don't frighten me It's written in the book It's hotter than I've known before But I feel so cold and I don't know why But if the fire within your heart can beat the storm Then I really believe you could make it right The time has come now, we must show our feelings But I'm looking right through you and your heart is empty Whatever happened to you, it's too late to change now There's nowhere you can run to, no place to hide Ah, you let me down ...but wait a minute, I don't understand It's getting stronger, so grab my hand Don't wanna leave you, don't wanna go But I'm losing all control Can't you see me, I'm slipping away I can only stay if you've the will to keep me here It's written in the book Oh, so many times since hten I've read those words Just waiting to see you, can you see me |

Times were good
She never thought about the future, she just did what she would Oh, but she really cared About her music, it all seemed so important then And she dreamed that everytime that she performed Everyone would cry for more That all she had to do was step into the light And everyone would start to roar And on the road Where all but a few fall by the wayside, on the grassier verge She battled through Against the others in her world, and the sleep, and the odds But now everytime that she performed Everybody cried for more Soon all she had to do was step into the light For everyone to start to roar And all the people cried: "You're the one we've waited for!" But time went by It wasn't so easy now, all uphill and not feeling so strong Yes, times were hard Too much thinking about the future and what the people might want And then there was the time that she performed When NOBODY called for more And soon everytime she stepped into the light They really let her know the score But she dreamed of the times when she sang her songs And everybody cried for more When all she had to do was step into the light For everyone to start to roar And all the people cried: "You're the one we've waited for!" |

There must be some misunderstanding
There must be some kind of mistake I waited in the rain for hours And you were late Now it's not like me to say the right thing But you could've called to let me know I checked your number twice, don't understand it So I went home Well I'd been waiting for this weekend I thought that maybe we could see a show Never dreamed I'd have this feeling Oh but seeing you is believing That's why I don't know why You didn't show up that night There must be some misunderstanding There must be some kind of mistake I was waiting in the rain for hours And you were late Since then I've been running around trying to find you I went to the places that we always go I rang your home but got no answer Jumped in my car, I went round there Still don't believe it He was just leaving There must be some misunderstanding There must be some kind of mistake |

No cloud, a sleepy calm
Sunbaked earth that's cooled by gentle breeze And trees with rustling leaves Only endless days without a care Nothing must be done Silent as a day can be Far off sounds of others on their chosen run As they do all those things they feel give life some meaning Even if they're dull Time to stop this dreaming, must rejoin the real world As revealed by orange lights and a smoky atmosphere The trees and I are shaken by the same winds but whereas The trees will lose their withered leaves I just can't seem to let them loose And they can't refresh me those hot winds of the south Feel like an alien, a stranger in an alien place Now the light id fading fast Chances slip away, a time will come to pass When there'll be none Then addicted to a perfumed poison Betrayed by its aftertaste We shall lose the wonder and find nothing in return Many are the substitutes but they're powerless an their own Beware the fisherman who's casting out his line Into a dried up river bed But don't try to tell him cos he won't believe you Throw some bread to the ducks instead, it's easier that way Feel like an alien, a stranger in an alien place |

Wake up now, this is the time you've waited for.
Far below, where shadown fester as they grow, An army thousands strong, obsessed by right and wrong, Sense their time is coming near. So they turn towards the light from their region of the night, Marching on and on, They near the air, it won't be long. You know you're on the way out, It's just a matter of time. You thought you'd rule the world forever, Long live the king, don't spare the loser. After all, you're not what you thought you were at all. You're just a natural fact, another cul-de-sac On nature's hard unfeeling trail. And all those dreams of old will be stories left untold, Cut off in your prime, extinct until the end of time. Now the host emerges, a shadow starts to fall. Not one knows what hit them, none can see at all. Even as the end approaches still they're not aware, How can you fight a foe so deadly When you don't even know it's there? And now that the job is almost done Maybe some escape, no, not even one |

Ocean of motion,
Squirming around and up and down Pushing together, Scattering mountains all around, That is a sound of a new born world, And a light from a curious sky It has begun, You're in the hands of destiny. Thrashing with violence, Hurling its lava up and down, Furnace of frenzy. Burning with power uncontrolled. That is the sound of a new born world, And the light from a curious sky It has begun, You're in the hands of destiny. Is that the chariot with stallions gold, Is that the prince of heaven on the ground, Is that the roar of a thunderflash, This is my world and it's waiting to be crowned, Father, son, look down with happiness, Life is on its way.

As daybreak breaks the mist upon the earth,
It came to pass that beauty settled there Forever more, And as the steam clings close to things to come, It came to pass that solid rock did part for humble life. Once upon a time there was confusion, Disappointment, fear and disillusion, Now there's hope reborn with every morning, See the future clearly at its dawning. Forever drifting slowly towards a hazy emptyness, As water slips into the sea The father's sad to see it free. As shadows creep towards their master night, It came to pass that trees defied the wind who Shook their leaves, And as the peace descended all around, It came to pass that nature's creatures came to Face the world. Once upon a time there was confusion, Disappointment, fear and disillusion, Now there's hope reborn with every morning, See the future clearly at its dawning. Forever drifting slowly towards a hazy emptyness, As water slips into the sea The father's sad to see it free.

Creator prepares for the dawn of man You're waking up, the day of incarnation, Said you're waking up to life Images he made to love Images of god in flesh, Man is wonderful, very wonderful, look at him Beware the future. Here is my world and it's waiting for me, Paradise before my eyes, I am alive in a new born world, This heaven will always be mine I'm waking up, the day of man has come, I'm waking up, the day of man has come. And god created man from dust, with a soul Inside his mould, And god created womankind, The vessel of satan's hold. Creator made the serpent wise Evil in his tempting eyes, Man is wonderful, very wonderful, look at him, beware the future. Here is my world and it's waiting for me, Paradise before my eyes, I am alive in a new born world, This heaven will always be mine I'm waking up, the day of man has come, I'm waking up, the day of man has come. Dark nights the planets are set Creator prepares for the dawn of man You're waking up, the day of incarnation, Said you're waking up to life Here I stand child in a lonely world, Watch the serpent tempting me to evil The guiding hand will help me on. The guiding hand will help me on. |

Leaving all the world to play,
They disappear. And the leaves have gathered dust to run like deer. Tearing pieces from our lives to feed the dawn Mist surrounds the seagulls, christened by the Storm. Music, all I hear is music Guaranteed to please And I look for something else Rain drops pouring down the rooftops Flowing in the drains As the people run their lives As their lives are run by time. Fighting enemies with weapons made to kill Death is easy as a substitute for pride Victors join together, happy in their bed Leaving cold outside the children of the dead. Music, all I hear is music Guaranteed to please And I look for something else Rain drops pouring down the rooftops Flowing in the drains As the people run their lives As their lives are run by time. |

He climbs inside the looking glass
And points at everything he hates, He calls to you hey look out son, That's a gun they're pointing at your pretty Face. And the heads they are a rolling, For the conqueror is on his way, And the justice day is coming, For the conqueror is on his way, Five hundred little women are calling At their hero's door, Yes their hero's working overtime, He's squirming on an empty floor. And the heads they are a rolling, For the conqueror is on his way, And the justice day is coming, For the conqueror is on his way, He's bought the castle on the hill He's bought it just to knock it down, The local power shout him down, They say he's just an empty headed clown. And the heads they are a rolling, For the conqueror is on his way, And the justice day is coming, For the conqueror is on his way, He's busy building monuments, To hide inside his empty grave, You there can you find some souls He's looking for some people to save. And the heads they are a rolling, For the conqueror is on his way, And the justice day is coming, For the conqueror is on his way, And the words of love are killing him, And the conqueror is on his way The words of love were lying on an empty floor, Just in the place where the conqueror lay. |

Pick me up, put me down,
Push me in, turn me round, Switch me on, let me go. I have a mind of my own. In hiding, Far from the city of night And the factories of truth, I stand upon the mountain, A million miles from my home, And the faces of fear, I have freedom to think. In hiding, I may take off my clothes That I wear on my face, I float upon a river A million miles from the plains, That are piercing the clouds, I am lost in the beauty, in hiding. Pick me up, put me down, Push me in, turn me round, Switch me on, let me go. I have a mind of my own. I'm wishing you were here In hiding, I lie silent at last, I am free from my past. I walk among the tall trees This is beauty I know I am in love with it all. I have freedom to love In hiding. Pick me up, put me down, Push me in, turn me round, Switch me on, let me go.

I think I'm in love, But the feeling in the word is more. Than your crystal eyes will ever see in me. Don't get me wrong, Open your eyes, Although I cannot show my heart, I'll watch and hope, While you are near to me. One day I'll capture you And call you to my side. One day I'll take you from The boredom of our lives. One day we'll fly away To the kingdom of my dreams. One day I'll find myself And wrap it in my love for you. Birds of the sky May I borrow your wings. Very soon I'll ask my love, To travel with me to the world outside. Cherry trees, may I borrow your bloom, Very soon I'll ask my love To come inside the nest I'll build alone. One day I'll capture you And call you to my side. One day I'll take you from The boredom of our lives. One day we'll fly away To the kingdom of my dreams. One day I'll find myself And wrap it in my love for you. Animal friends, Help me decide, When I should ask my love to leave, I'll beg of you that she'll say yes to me, Breathe in deep, Now is the time, She looks at me and gently smiles As if she knew I'd ask her all the time. One day I'll capture you And call you to my side. One day I'll take you from The boredom of our lives. One day we'll fly away To the kingdom of my dreams.

Slowly eyes trench at my arms freely
Shadows of night disappear. Rise from the slough of despond, find the pathway, Guiding us forward through pastures of Dream day, Days to enjoy, peace I knew once before me, Dawning to dusk on the hills until morning Come see me take my hand, Come see me in my land. Flying invisibly high, watch me. All on a beautiful sky, I'll be Clear and serene in the love I've discovered. Long search is over, the soul is uncovered, Resting on joy that abounds without ceasing, Bidding farewell to the fears now decreasing. Come see me take my hand, Come see me in my land. High upon the golden crested wave she sits, The little nymphs dance in her hair, The trees all becon to the sky to bless their Empty lives, Horizons come to sip wine there, The veiled mist reveals the wandering ship upon the reef, The albatross flies to the stern, And only jack frost saw the kiss you gave him In return Crossing the mountains of truth see them, Soaring majestically high, and then, Stop at the warning light, see it flash brightly, Thunder awakes me, it crashes beside me Shatter the scene and bring chaos to beauty Leading me forward where destiny may be. Come see me take my hand, View from another land. |

Far from this place, Leaving me here Take me away To the furthest star in the sky. Take me away To the deepest cave of the night. Take me away, voices of love, here am I In the sad sad world of fear Take me away From the power of my ambition And I'll be happy. I - I've conquered time. Where will I go? - am I still mine? - Take me away. Take me away To the furthest star in the sky. Take me away To the deepest cave of the night. Take me away, voices of love, here am I In the sad sad world of fear Take me away From the power of my ambition And I'll be happy. Peace, floating in limbo. Limbo, leading me nowhere.

Try a little sadness baby Try a little sadness baby Try a little sadness Or you love will never be found You always hide your loving Before it's gone and too late Things are changing, you're remaining Leave it and come with me Let me tell you now Try a little sadness baby Try a little sadness baby Try a little sadness Or you love will never be found Try a little sadness baby Try a little sadness baby Try a little sadness baby Try a little sadness baby [fade out] |

The silent sun that never shines,
She is the warmth of my lonely heart, The motion of a turning wheel, Can't you stop it and look around. Baby, you feel so close, I wish you could see my love, Baby, you've changed my life, I'm trying to show you. A tiny stone that hides from me Can't you see that I'm just outside, A mountain stream that chills the sea, Can't you feel in your useless pride. Baby, you feel so close, I wish you could see my love, Baby, you've changed my life, I'm trying to show you. When night reveals a star-filled sky, I want to hold it in my hands, When snowflakes heal the ugly ground, Your beauty hides the joy I've found. |

Every morning when the people are out
And I'm free to move around on my own I look into the sun and I see a reflection Of a sad and lonely shrivelled man That's me, that's me And I know it's how I'm always gonna be Nothing to do, nothing to say Nothing to hope, and nothing to pray I can see, I can feel I've forgotten what I'm meant to be Won't come back, not if I try They told me things about me that I didn't know But I could tell they've told me lies And it really goes to show That everyone was wrong And they don't understand my ways But it's not me that's going wrong, it's them I can see, I can feel I've forgotten what I'm meant to be Won't come back, not if I try They told me things about me that I didn't know But I could tell they've told me lies And it really goes to show That everyone was wrong And they don't understand my ways But it's not me that's going wrong, it's them Every morning when the people are out And I'm free to move around my own I look into the sun and I see a reflection Of a sad and lonely shrivelled man That's me, that's me And I know it's how I'm always gonna be That's me, that's me And I know it's how I'm always gonna be Shrivelled old man Who hides from a world He's never seen the light That can set him free His vicious life Is such a shame I wanna find out who's to blame And that's me, oh that's me, aaoh Set me free |

The winter's bitterness is lost
It's the fireside warmth that comforts me The peace for all my thoughts The night brings shadows to the street It's the time for dreams of things to come To creep inside their lives You're concealing every feeling Can you find me, deep inside you Let me touch you, let me keep you Let me know you're there You're concealing every feeling Can you find me, no Yes deep inside you're a part of me Every day I need to know I'm there, I'm there, I'm there The evening fantasy begins In the sandy lanes that cross the fields The gentle rain will fall The morning sweeps away the night And the dreams of you still haunt my thoughts Bring meaning to my life You're concealing every feeling Can you find me, deep inside you Let me touch you, let me keep you Let me know you're there You're concealing every feeling Can you find me, no Yes deep inside you're a part of me Every day I need to know I'm there, I'm there, I'm there Can you hold me with your small hand Prepare much, length and beauty of our tiny lives Future's brighter now Our world is everything to me, to know, I'm there Lord! You see the world is brighter than the sky The sky is shining everywhere in our world You know you never said in your many times, all in me instead |

Ocean of motion,
Squirming around and up and down Pushing together, Scattering mountains all around, That is a sound of a new born world, And a light from a curious sky It has begun, You're in the hands of destiny. Thrashing with violence, Hurling its lava up and down, Furnace of frenzy. Burning with power uncontrolled. That is the sound of a new born world, And the light from a curious sky It has begun, You're in the hands of destiny. Is that the chariot with stallions gold, Is that the prince of heaven on the ground, Is that the roar of a thunderflash, This is my world and it's waiting to be crowned, Father, son, look down with happiness, Life is on its way.

Leaving all the world to play,
They disappear. And the leaves have gathered dust to run like deer. Tearing pieces from our lives to feed the dawn Mist surrounds the seagulls, christened by the Storm. Music, all I hear is music Guaranteed to please And I look for something else Rain drops pouring down the rooftops Flowing in the drains As the people run their lives As their lives are run by time. Fighting enemies with weapons made to kill Death is easy as a substitute for pride Victors join together, happy in their bed Leaving cold outside the children of the dead. Music, all I hear is music Guaranteed to please And I look for something else Rain drops pouring down the rooftops Flowing in the drains As the people run their lives As their lives are run by time. |

Don't get me wrong,
I think I'm in love, But the feeling in the word is more. Than your crystal eyes will ever see in me. Don't get me wrong, Open your eyes, Although I cannot show my heart, I'll watch and hope, While you are near to me. One day I'll capture you And call you to my side. One day I'll take you from The boredom of our lives. One day we'll fly away To the kingdom of my dreams. One day I'll find myself And wrap it in my love for you. Birds of the sky May I borrow your wings. Very soon I'll ask my love, To travel with me to the world outside. Cherry trees, may I borrow your bloom, Very soon I'll ask my love To come inside the nest I'll build alone. One day I'll capture you And call you to my side. One day I'll take you from The boredom of our lives. One day we'll fly away To the kingdom of my dreams. One day I'll find myself And wrap it in my love for you. Animal friends, Help me decide, When I should ask my love to leave, I'll beg of you that she'll say yes to me, Breathe in deep, Now is the time, She looks at me and gently smiles As if she knew I'd ask her all the time. One day I'll capture you And call you to my side. One day I'll take you from The boredom of our lives. One day we'll fly away To the kingdom of my dreams. One day I'll find myself And wrap it in my love for you |

Watcher of the skies watcher of all
His is a world alone no world is his own, He whom life can no longer surprise, Raising his eyes beholds a planet unknown. Creatures shaped this planet's soil, Now their reign has come to end, Has life again destroyed life, Do they play elsewhere, do they know more than their childhood games ? Maybe the lizard's shedded its tail, This is the end of man's long union with Earth. Judge not this race by empty remains Do you judge God by his creatures when they are dead. For now the lizard's shedded its tail This is the end of man's long union with Earth. From life alone to life as one, Think not now your journey done For though your ship be sturdy, no Mercy has the sea, Will you survive on the ocean of being, Come ancient children hear what I say This is my parting council for you on your way. Sadly now your thoughts turn to the stars Where we have gone you know you never can go. Watcher of the skies watcher of all This is your fate alone, this fate is your own. |

(Written by Banks,Collins,Gabriel,Hackett,Rutherford)
"Can you tell me where my country lies?" said the unifaun to his true love's eyes. "It lies with me!" cried the Queen of Maybe - for her merchandise, he traded in his prize. "Paper late!" cried a voice in the crowd. "Old man dies!" The note he left was signed "Old Father Thames" - it seems he's drowned; selling England by the pound. Citizens of Hope & Glory, Time goes by - it's 'the time of your life'. Easy now, sit you down. Chewing through your Wimpey dreams, They eat, without a sound Digesting England by the pound. Young man says, "you are what you eat" - eat well. Old man says "you are what you wear" - wear well. You know what you are, you don't give a damn; bursting your belt that is your homemade sham. The Captain leads his dance right on through the night - join the dance . . . Follow on! Till the Grail sun sets in the mould. Follow on! Till the gold is cold. Dancing out with the moonlit knight, Knights of the Green Shield stamp and shout. There's a fat old lady outside the saloon; laying out the credit cards she plays Fortune. The deck is uneven right from the start; and all of their hands are playing a part. Captain leads his dance right on through the night - join the dance . . . Follow on! A Round Table-talking down we go. You're the show! Off we go with: You play the hobbyhorse, I'll play the fool. We'll tease the bull ringing round & loud, loud & round. Follow on! With a twist of the world we go. Follow on! Till the gold is cold. Dancing out with the moonlit knight, Knights of the Green Shield stamp and shout. |

When the sun beats down and I lie on the bench, I can always hear them talk. There's always been Ethel: "Jacob, wake up! You've got to tidy your room now." And then Mister Lewis: "Isn't it time that he was out on his own?" Over the garden wall, two little lovebirds - cuckoo to you! Keep them moving blades sharp... I know what I like, and I like what I know; getting better in your wardrobe, stepping one beyond your show. Sunday night, Mr Farmer called, said: "Listen son, you're wasting your time; there's a future for you in the fire escape trade. Come up to town!" But I remebered a voice from the past; "Gambling only plays when you're winning" - I had to thank old Miss Mort for schooling a failure. Keep them moving blades sharp... I know what I like, and I like what I know; getting better in your wardrobe, stepping one beyond your show. When the sun beats down and I lie on the bench, I can always hear them talk. Me, I'm just a lawnmower - you can tell me by the way I walk |

Play me Old King Cole
That I may join with you, All your hearts now seem so far from me It hardly seems to matter now. And the nurse will tell you lies Of a kingdom beyond the skies. But I am lost within this half-world, It hardly seems to matter now. Play me my song. Here it comes again. Play me my song. Here it comes again. Just a little bit, Just a little bit more time, Time left to live out my life. Play me my song. Here it comes again. Play me my song. Here it comes again. Old King Cole was a merry old soul, And a merry old sould was he. So he called for his pipe, And he called for his bowl, And he called for his fiddlers three. The clock, tick tock, On the matelpiece, And I want, And I fee, And I know, And i touch, The wall. She's a lady, she's got time. Brush back your hair, and let me get to know your face. She's a lady, she's mine. Brush back your hair, and let me get to know your flesh. I've been waiting here for so long And all this time has past me by It doesn't seem to matter now You stand there with your fixed expression Casting doubt on all I have to say Why don't you touch me, touch me, Why don't you touch me, touch me, touch me, Touch me now, now, now, now, now..... |

Walking across the sitting-room, I turn the television off. Sitting beside you, I look into your eyes. As the sound of motor cars fades in the night time, I swear I saw your face change, it didn't seem quite right. ...And it's hello babe with your guardian eyes so blue Hey my baby don't you know our love is true. Coming closer with our eyes, a distance falls around our bodies. Out in the garden, the moon seems very bright, Six saintly shrouded men move across the lawn slowly. The seventh walks in front with a cross held high in hand. ...And it's hey babe your supper's waiting for you. Hey my baby, don't you know our love is true. I've been so far from here, Far from your warm arms. It's good to feel you again, It's been a long long time. Hasn't it? The Guaranteed Eternal Sanctuary Man I know a farmer who looks after the farm. With water clear, he cares for all his harvest. I know a fireman who looks after the fire. You, can't you see he's fooled you all. Yes, he's here again, can't you see he's fooled you all. Share his peace, Sign the lease. He's a supersonic scientist, He's the guaranteed eternal sanctuary man. Look, look into my mouth he cries, And all the children lost down many paths, I bet my life you'll walk inside Hand in hand, gland in gland With a spoonful of miracle, He's the guaranteed eternal sanctuary. We will rock you, rock you little snake, We will keep you snug and warm. Ikhnaton And Itsacon And Their Band Of Merry Men Wearing feelings on our faces while our faces took a rest, We walked across the fields to see the children of the West, But we saw a host of dark skinned warriors standing still below the ground, Waiting for battle. The fight's begun, they've been released. Killing foe for peace...bang, bang, bang. Bang, bang, bang... And they're giving me a wonderful potion, 'Cos I cannot contain my emotion. And even though I'm feeling good, Something tells me I'd better activate my prayer capsule. Today's a day to celebrate, the foe have met their fate. The order for rejoicing and dancing has come from our warlord. How Dare I Be So Beautiful? Wandering through the chaos the battle has left, We climb up a mountain of human flesh, To a plateau of green grass, and green trees full of life. A young figure sits still by a pool, He's been stamped "Human Bacon" by some butchery tool. (He is you) Social Security took care of this lad. We watch in reverence, as Narcissus is turned to a flower. A flower? Willow Farm If you go down to Willow Farm, to look for butterflies, flutterbyes, gutterflies Open your eyes, it's full of surprise, everyone lies, like the fox on the rocks, and the musical box. Oh, there's Mum & Dad, and good and bad, and everyone's happy to be here. There's Winston Churchill dressed in drag, he used to be a British flag, plastic bag, what a drag. The frog was a prince, the prince was a brick, the brick was an egg, the egg was a bird. (Fly away you sweet little thing, they're hard on your tail) Hadn't you heard? (They're going to change you into a human being!) Yes, we're happy as fish and gorgeous as geese, and wonderfully clean in the morning. We've got everything, we're growing everything, We've got some in We've got some out We've got some wild things floating about Everyone, we're changing everyone, you name them all, We've had them here, And the real stars are still to appear. ALL CHANGE! Feel your body melt; Mum to mud to mad to dad Dad diddley office, Dad diddley office, You're all full of ball. Dad to dam to dum to mum Mum diddley washing, Mum diddley washing, You're all full of ball. Let me hear you lies, we're living this up to the eyes. Ooee-ooee-ooee-oowaa Momma I want you now. And as you listen to my voice To look for hidden doors, tidy floors, more applause. You've been here all the time, Like it or not, like what you got, You're under the soil (the soil, the soil), Yes, deep in the soil (the soil, the soil, the soil, the soil!). So we'll end with a whistle and end with a bang and all of us fit in our places. Apocalypse In 9/8 (Co-Starring the delicious talents of Gabble Ratchet) With the guards of Magog, swarming around, The Pied Piper takes his children underground. Dragons coming out of the sea, Shimmering silver head of wisdom looking at me. He brings down the fire from the skies, You can tell he's doing well by the look in human eyes. Better not compromise. It won't be easy. 666 is no longer alone, He's getting out the marrow in your back bone, And the seven trumpets blowing sweet rock and roll, Gonna blow right down inside your soul. Pythagoras with the looking glass reflects the full moon, In blood, he's writing the lyrics of a brand new tune. And it's hey babe, with your guardian eyes so blue, Hey my baby, don't you know our love is true, I've been so far from here, Far from your loving arms, Now I'm back again, and babe it's gonna work out fine. As Sure As Eggs Is Eggs (Aching Men's Feet) Can't you feel our souls ignite Shedding ever changing colours, in the darkness of the fading night, Like the river joins the ocean, as the germ in a seed grows We have finally been freed to get back home. There's an angel standing in the sun, and he's crying with a loud voice, "This is the supper of the mighty one", Lord of Lords, King of Kings, Has returned to lead his children home, To take them to the new Jerusalem. |

The path is clear, though no eyes can see The course laid down long before And so with gods and men, the sheep remain inside their pen Though many times they've seen the way to leave He rides majestic, past homes of men Who care not or gaze with joy To see reflected there, the trees, the sky, the lily fair The scene of death is lying just below The mountains cut off the town from view Like a cancer growth is removed by skill Let it be revealed A waterfall, his madrigal An inland sea, his symphony Undinal songs urge the sailors on 'Till lured by the siren's cry... Now as the river dissolve in sea So Neptune has claimed another soul And so with gods and men, the sheep remain inside their pen Until the shepherd leads his flock away The sands of time were eroded by The river of constant change |

Yeah, yeah, yeah, nowhere Like a nun with a gun - I?m wonderful fun Laughing all through - just watching you Seems a very stupid game... But I don?t care Happy the man - he doesn?t buzz around Nothing he wants - any more than anything Where you go - where? Yeah, yeah, yeah, nowhere Like a fool in the pool - I?m incredibly cool With a grin on my chin - I?m certain to win Someone says he?s jesus christ - but I don?t care He is a good man... |

from Genesis - Happy The Man [single] (1972)
I heard the old man tell his tale:
Tinker, alone within a storm, And losing hope he clears the leaves beneath a tree, Seven stones Lay on the ground. Within the seventh house a friend was found. And the changes of no consequence will pick up the reins from nowhere. Sailors, in peril on the sea, Amongst the waves a rock looms nearer, not yet seen, They see a gull Flying by. The Captain turns the boat and he asks not why. And the changes of no consequence will pick up the reins from nowhere. Despair that tires the world, brings the old man laughter, The laughter of the world only grieves him, Believe him, The old man's guide is chance. I heard the old man tell his tale: Farmer, who knows not when to sow, Consults the old man clutching money in his hand, And with a shrug, The old man smiled, Took the money, left the farmer wild. And the changes of no consequence will pick up the reins from nowhere. Despair that tires the world, brings the old man laughter, The laughter of the world only grieves him, Believe him, The old man's guide is chance. |

IN TOO DEEP
All that time I was searching, nowhere to run to, it started me thinking, Wondering what I could make of my life, who'd be waiting, Asking all kinds of questions, to myself, but never finding the answers, Crying at the top of my voice, no one listening, All this time, I still remember everything you said There's so much you promised, how could I ever forget. Listen, you know I love you, but I just can't take this, You know I love you, but I'm playing for keeps, Although I need you, I'm not gonna make this, You know I want to, but I'm in too deep. So listen, listen to me, You must believe me, I can feel your eyes go thru me, But I don't know why. I know you're going, but I can't believe it's the way that you're leaving, It's like we never knew each other at all, it may be my fault, I gave you too many reasons, beeing alone, when I didn't want to I thought you'd always be there, I almost believed you, All this time, I still remember everything you said, there's so much you promised, how could I ever forget. Listen, you know I love you, but I just can't take this, You know I love you, but I'm playing for keeps, Although I need you, I'm not gonna make this, You know I want to, but I'm in too deep. So listen, listen to me, I can feel your eyes go thru me It seems I've spent too long Only thinking about myself Now I want to spend my life Just caring bout somebody else. Listen, you know I love you, but I just can't take this, You know I love you, but I'm playing for keeps, Although I need you, I'm not gonna make this, You know I want to, but I'm in too deep. |
