Hiding in the the catacombs Lying low in the labyrinths Beneath the shattered city streets The sleepers lie in wait Taking improbable chances When opportunities arise Pitching wits against selected hits Never toeing olliciallines
Men, women and children From every walk of life Using any means available with which to fight Proudly preserving the integrity of their nation Vichy France could never be our ultimate identity Never
Watch out Take cover Someone's been talking They're on their way They're armed to the teeth Machine guns on motor bikes A Panzer division Crawling with soldiers in broad daylight No subtlety here Our daily injection of fear
I want you to search Every nook and cranny high and low To flush out these rebels and deal with them accordingly Quick return once again to the secret passages Candlelight in hand, Safe and Sound, Gone to Ground Keep the noise down.... Sssh! Outmanoeuvred once again Ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! hee! hee! hee! hee! hee! We will yet be free! Foiled again, foiled again You've been recalled again
Gabardines and greatcoats Mingle in the shadows Animated figures, of dubious origins Loiter in the corners Looking for the fallers Stench of cigarettes hangs heavy in the air Stella slips slowly through nervous throats Who is who? Nobody knows Who is who? Nobody knows
Informers, incognito Heroes and martyrs to be Shuffle, avoiding the enemy Everybody is under cover Everyone is wary of each other Who is who? Nobody knows Who is who?
Another pale moon rises Another blood red sun sets Another hard day gone Another nervous night to come Survival guaranteed At least until tomorrow Who knows what a new dawn will bring A New Era?
We had it good in the eighties Everything coming up roses We were drowning in success Only dealing with the best Really couldn't care about the rest They meant nothing to us
MONEY POWER GREED
Porsche 911, penthouse over the Thames We had everything we desired But the bubble had to burst Unless we gave out first We never thought it was an option
SELF-DECEIT SELF-CORRUPT
We live and learn Even the brightest burn We live and learn Each of us has our turn We rage and scorn Don't even know we are born We live and learn Even the brightest burn
Sure enough the big bang came We were finally out of the game Dizzy heights that we had scaled Proved too much - we'd finally failed Nothing left but rubble and dust
But now it all seems like A perfect blessing in disguise A learning experience To which we are now wise
SELF-REALISATION REGAINING SELF-ESTEEM
We live and learn Even the brightest burn We live and learn Each of us has our turn We rage and scorn Don't even know we are born We live and learn Even the brightest burn
But now I've got all in a better perspective Now I'm back, jiving in the real world I've got the love of a family and friends Self-respect and happiness Nothing more, nothing less It's all that matters to me
With the first trick of dawn Tranquility drowns amid the morning song As the sun cracks the sky Shadows live another hour Until they're killed of by the clouds Waiting with invisible patience For our star to shine once again
Hillsides changing shade and shape Silhouettes slow dance across The fields, the valleys, the meadows of the chase A predator hovers in the air A predator sleeps in the long grass Whilst all the innocents are unaware This is the chase This is the chase
A kestrel hovers over a babbling brook And the hounds they hound And the fox takes a look He's running for cover in the trees And still the fleas they cling They're biting for life, chasing for life, chasing for life Chasing desires, chasing ideals Chasing the way that we feel Chasing the grass that is oh so green on the other side Chasing our dreams, in what we believe This the chase, this the chase The chase, the chase, the chase The chase, the chase, the chase This the chase
As unexpected vision in a faraway foreign land You took away my heart But I couldn't take your hand Floating on the mist by a willow-lined lake You played the part of temptress Or was it just my mistake?
To the backdrop of a chateau And an antiquated mill You enchanted my soul And I was captured until I realised that fate was never on my side Then you drifted out of view And the moment's magic died
Je croyais t'avoir vue Je suis sur que je t'ai vue Mais non, je sais que je t'ai vue Je t'ai vu
I saw you
Or were you just a passing shadow Or were you just a passing dream Tell me, were you just a passing shadow Or were you just a broken dream
Or were you just apassing shadow Or were you just a broken dream
We put the fate of the human race in the hands of cold machines They have no perception of compassion or hat it would really mean If data caused the buttons to be pushed we'd all be blown away Self destruction is the 'in' cause for the human race....
Digital, digital, digital man, eroding our emotions Cynical, cynical, cynical man, his feelings disappear
The Automaton
Robot mentalities, attracting high positions I hope this does not rub off on the younger generation Awareness is more widespread than at any time before With media power very much to the fore
Cynical, cynical, cynical man, when will he realise? Digital, digital, digital man, will never understand
Sometimes technology advances Are not always desired Sometimes there comes a point When it all gets too cold Drained of all our instincts Our common senses are reeling Microchip revolution But someone left out the feeling
I hope the higher echelons in science don't wrap Themselves in their own little galaxies of knowledge I hope that they maintain some semblance of their inner sanity Don't digitise too far, digital man will never understand
Digital, digital, digital man, his conscience evaporates Cynical, cynical, cynical man, has sterilised his faith Digital, digital, digital man, when will he realise? Digital, clinical, cynical man, will never understand!
I can feel the surface tension mounting Digging down into my skin, into my bones Seeping through into my blood, into my flesh Malignant, indignant of my state of mind
Putting on the pressure
My resistance is waning There seems to be no way that I can win against This human condition, feeling guilty for our kind Though there's no need I know It's just the way the operator runs my show
He's putting on the pressure
Like a time bomb, I'm primed to explode Some time in the future, depends on how heavy the load But don't worry, it's not going to blow for a while Maybe when a decision is reached At the end of my internal trial...
Mortar bombs and festive songs Don't mix too well at Christmas time This pantomime has lost its humour I heard a rumour of Peace On Our Earth It was lost in a dirge of plastic explosives Blowing sky high the blood red roses That were left on the doorstep of another young lover Who, after all, was just one of our brothers One of our brothers
There just vivid pictures on a TV screen Of reality and what has been This is no John Wayne movie This is everyday violence for free! And I'll say a prayer in the church of compassion Miracles have been known to happen, haven't they? So I've been told
It could have been me It could have been you It could have been me It could have been anyone of you
They're putting on the pressure They put you under pressure They're putting on the pressure They never let go Never let go Never!

Mother Earth: "Whatever you do child don't face to the Sun!" Wise Old Wizard: "Where do you think you are going?" Misguided Soul: "Away" Wise Old Wizard: "Where are you? We know you're out there, somewhere....."
It's getting late in the day And I haven't heard a whisper Where are you now? We'd like to know As we miss you You misguided soul You rebellious soul Maybe you're the one who's right Perhaps we just don't understand.
2. Another Misguided Soul
Well your mother's at her wits end Your father's disowning you What else did you expect them to do? You better pull yourself together In to a better frame of mind You're so, so, so young With so much treasure yet to find
Believe it or not we really care Believe it or not we want to see you alright Believe it or not you're a part of our life Believe it or not we want to see you alright
You're another misguided soul Changing places, changing faces We used to know Another misguided soul Let in the light, shut out the dark It's got to go, it's got to go It's got to go, you know, it's got to go, go, go
It's getting late in the evening And I stare into a flickering fire I can see your tortured soul Rise above the funeral pyre I hope you can keep your aching head Well above the rising tide When will you realise We're only on your side!
Believe it or not we really care Believe it or not we want to see you alright Believe it or not you're a part of our lives Believe it or not we want to see you alright
You're another misguided soul Changing places, changing faces We used to know Another misguided soul Let in the light, shut out the dark It's got to go, it's got to go It's got to go, you know, it's got to go, go, go ... take it
Believe it or not we really care Believe it or not we want to see you alright Believe it or not you're a part of our lives Believe it or not we want to see you alright
You're another misguided soul Changing places, changing faces we used to know Another misguided soul Let in the light, shut out the dark, it's got to go....
It's so damp in here and I've lost all my reasons It's so cold in here and now I'm shivering, shivering It's so dark in here and I've lost all my direction And I don't know quite where I stand anymore
But I will win through, though I think I need you now I will overcome the pain that you put me through Yes, I will survive, I will overcome the heartache That you put me through That you put me through I will overcome it
I've lost all my senses, I can't see or feel the right way And my vision is blurred and I have no balance left at all And it's still so dark in here, I've got to find my lost direction Before I lose control for good
But I will win through, though I think I need you now I will overcome the pain that you put me through Yes, I will survive, I will overcome the heartache That you put me through That you put me through I will overcome it
I've got to rise up again Leave the embers to cool I've got to walk out of here In one piece, I will win through Because I'm leaving this time Going to find a new way of living Yes, I'm leaving for good Because I know just where my interests lie And that's not with you, no That's not with you, no
Yes I will win through, though I think I need you now I will overcome the pain that you put me through Yes, I will survive, I will overcome the heartache That you put me through
Whatever you do, whatever you say, wherever you go Don't you lose control Don't you lose control Don't lose it
