Liberte Fraternite Egalite
"Stubborn resistance was met in some places" 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 Infiltrate. agitate, exacerbate, manipulate Eradicate, decimate, retaliate, annihilate We will never surrender 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 Invalidate, facilitate, emancipate, consolidate Identify, rectify, pacify, unify Our spirit never shall be broken 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? All becomes clearer In the end |

Part One: Even The Brightest Burn
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 Part Two - Learning Curve Learning curve Learning curve Rising, falling, arcing Learning curve |

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! Don't digitise too far |

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! |

We're always roundabout We're never far, we're never near We're always not quite here We're never up, we're never down We're ever changing sound... chaser... Here today, here tomorrow Gone today, gone tomorrow Amaranth, you're the overseer of all Never gonna fall Amaranth, eternally lie, never gonna die You're timeless You're never gonna fade You've got no need to pray Timeless Wish I could be like you Forever blessed with life We never win, we never lose We always battle through We climb up high, we lay down low But we never follow the flow We never arrive and we never depart We're not seen as modern But we're state of the art Here today, here tomorrow Gone today, gone tomorrow Amaranth, sitting pretty in the mud Took your chance and survived the flood Amaranth, mocking flesh and blood Though I don't disagree You're timeless Well, you've seen it all before What lies behind that door Timeless Watching us fade We're gonna tear it all apart I lie awake at night Empty, for fear of another worldly nightmare We journeyed through green valleys And along the rivers of life In search of a holy chalice To provide us all with the wisdom That we may need to conquer Our darkest thoughts and emotions Never once looking behind us For fear of loss in our faith But we never lost our faith What, what? You don't believe in us? You fools! For if you perish Then I will wither You are my spirit We will fade together I will guide you Never fail you Keep you breathing Spare your lives Through whatever may come your way Through wars and famine Disease and flooding I will always be at your side And your love lies bleeding Swamped by fear and misunderstanding But our resolve and constant searching Will nourish our dreams and keep us thriving |

You've got to keep calm You'll be alright Hold your head up, open up wide So that I can see, what lies inside 5 4 3 2 And now we're gunning for you Extractions required This may make you feel a little tired Now I'm drowning in the daylight I'm staring at the ceiling And I look into my nurses eyes The kindest eyes I'll see today I'll see today Needle sharp, don't carp We've got to make a start You know I've got a heart Now just sit still Don't move I'm closing in now It's coming through Now you're feeling numb Your senses, they all disappear I'll just turn on the power With a flick of the switch And we're ready to begin I'm drowning in the daylight I'm staring at the ceiling I look into my nurses eyes The kindest eyes I'll see today I'll see today I hear the sound of a drill edging closer Making contact with my inner self Though I feel no pain I'm aching from the stillness of being laid up here all this time But I'm sure he knows what he is doing Doesn't he? I hope so Now I'm drowning in the daylight Staring at the ceiling I look into my nurses eyes The kindest eyes I'll see today I'll see today The kindest eyes The kindest eyes The kindest eyes that I'll see today The kindest eyes The kindest eyes The kindest eyes that I'll see today |

Hush now baby, please don't cry
Everything is going to be alright I'll make sure our secret never gets out Of that I know there is no doubt One whisper from you And I know I'll go down Four times life And I'll be out for the count So hush now baby, don't say a word For if you do they'll think it quite absurd It's ridiculous, preposterous It just couldn't happen here, no way! Could it? For I am a man of standing And you are but a disturbed child So who do you think they are going to believe... Who? Sad boy sits a'weeping on his bed Thinking about what the principal did Thinking of his friends and Mum and Dad And the loving life that he once had But now it's been replaced by the seediest show And no one it seems even wanted to know I'd like to climb inside Your warped and evil mind Taking a sharp knife To the Devil's cancer festering within you The pain that I provide Will make you realise That your conscience Will be racked with guilt forever EXORCISING DEMONS I'd like to climb inside Your godforsaken soul And tear out your jaded heart EXORCISING DEMONS Such a shame you have to live Paid for the state I'd rather see you dead Though I know it's much too late EXORCISING DEMONS Young man sits a'pondering alone Coming to terms with the ghost of his past Psychological scars Are never going to heal The pain subsides as the years go by Now that he is older And has grown much stronger Maybe he's got the will to live again Exorcise those demons once and for all |

It's getting late in the evening
And the party is almost over A quarter to three, we are alcohol free And the music's faded away It's just you and me sinking further into the sofa Everybody's gone to say hello to the moon Drifting together into the realms Of another dimension Where nothing is ever Quite as it appears to be Always the unexpected Lurking, around every corner Now it seems we are standing on the middleground A no man's land, hearing unfamiliar sounds My vulnerability, it's scaring me I'm not so sure about this middleground Everything is calm The sounds have all disappeared Get back on the tracks you know There really is nothing to fear As long as we stay on the path that leads to ecstasy Comforting each other, and our minds will be free And now it seems we're caught up in the middleground A no man's land hearing unfamiliar sounds My sensibility, it's deserting me Not so sure about this middleground Now I feel trapped in the middleground It's plain to see, it's not easy When you're caught in the middleground Julius Caesar beware of the Ides They are coming to get you And the house on the hill, is feeling quite ill Too many spirits you know! Poor old Canute cannot hold back the sea Keeps getting confused between reality and fantasy... And now it seems we're leaving the middleground Rising above the chaos on which we're staring down Moving further into the distance Now we're flying away from the middleground Towards the morning and more familiar sounds Not so keen on this great divide Got to keep well clear of the middleground It's quarter to nine and time to rise, again |

I'm getting tired of all your broken promises
I'm getting tired of all your figured exuses I'm sick to the back teeth of all your boring anecdotes You know I've heard them all a million times before I don't think you realise what damage you have caused We can't go on like this, we can't take anymore How long have we got to wait How long before you complete How long before you finished what you started Tell me how much more time is this all going to take? You have to listen and get on with this belated show Termination, it's the only way Termination, it's the only answer You don't seem to have any sense of urgency Meanwhile our lives are put on hold as we wait to break free You're taking all our money and you're bleeding us dry And still we have nothing to show for all our efforts We've got to see some action, payback time is near How long before we can capture your attention, about time we were out of here How long have we got to wait How long before you complete How long before you finished what you started Tell me how much more time is this all going to take? You've taken the piss and now it's time for some closure Termination, it's the only way Termination, it's the only answer Why can't you see the problems you have caused I can't believe you feel no guilt or remorse How long have we got to wait How long before you complete How long before you finished what you started Tell me how much more time is this all going to take? You've told your jokes, you've had your fun, now get it done! How long have we got to wait How long before you complete How long before you finished what you started Tell me how much more time is this all going to take? You've told your jokes, you've had your fun, now get it done! Tell me how much more time is this all going to take? |

I could be God or I could be the Devil
I could be a force for good or I could be evil I can smile like an Angel Or I can roar like a demon I can be timid, quiet as a mouse Or I could go crazy like a psycho killer I could be human, shock horror Or perhaps some otherworldly creature Which way will I go? It really depends on how I feel I can always be God He can exist deep inside of me But it doesn't make me better or a better person Perhaps it just gives me an excuse to do just what I want to do God and the Devil are not so different Both manipulate in their own ways Which way shall I go? It really depends on how I feel Am I happy or am I sad Am I rational or am I mad It's all a matter of perspective Yes I guess it's all relative Am I the poison Am I the vice It's for someone else to decide... I COULD BE GOD I could behave like a crazed maniac Or I could sit quietly watching the carnage on the TV But I'm still the same multi faceted me It seems so ridiculous as I sit there moulded to the sofa Contentedly sipping my Earl Grey tea I can hide behind my own God He will forgive me all of my sins Give me carte blanche to do what I want Just as long as I repent And it's all a matter of perspective Yes I guess it's all relative Am I the poison Am I the vice It's for someone else to decide... I COULD BE GOD Sanity, insanity, there's a fine line between the two You can see me how you want to see me now I got a different perception to you But it could be a different me to what others may see, you see? And you may be a different you to what you perceive as being you You could be God too... You could be got to You could be God too... You could be got to... I could be God too... I can hide behind my own God He will forgive me all of my sins Give me carte blanche to do what I want Just as long as I repent And it's all a matter of perspective Yes I guess it's all relative Am I the poison Am I the vice It's for someone else to decide I COULD BE GOD...

But still so many problems closer to home seem to be ignored If you want to be a "real hero", it's the mundane things in life Education and the health of the nation which need putting right Now, let me take your hand I'll lead you to the promised land You know you can trust in me I'll be right behind you, just wait and see Don't listen to the mad man, he got insanity in his eyes Doesn't know what he's talking about, no sincerity only lies Vacant glances, taking chances, sounds like the rhetoric of fools He's a man of material means, I'm not sure what he's trying to prove Now, let me take your hand I'll lead you to the promised land You know you can trust in me I'll be right behind you, just wait and see You have to understand That I'm the man who ties your hands Politically and economically I'm the controller of your destiny It's a dangerous path we are taking Beware of false prophets spinning yarns of deceit Now, let me take your hand I'll lead you to the promised land You know you can trust in me I'll be right behind you, just wait and see You, you have to understand That I'm the man who ties your hands Politically and economically I'm the controller of your destiny |

Always remember empires never last
They always crumble and fall A bully with a smile, transparently nice Beware as she carries a big spoon and a long sharp knife She'll diss you and stab you as soon as look at you She'll point the finger and pull the trigger For no good reason And your only crime was to tell the truth She don't like it, no she don't like it Always remember empires never last They always crumble and fall Little Miss Glory seeker taking all the accolades But if something goes horribly wrong her enthusiasm rapidly fades And she'll run a mile to distance herself if it doesn't work out And let some other poor sods take the blame, of that there is no doubt She don't see it, no she don't see it Always remember empires never last They always crumble and fall And I don't know how she sleeps at night She blots out the truth and believes in all her own hype No, I don't know how she sleeps at night She enjoys the thrill of a kill and a dirty fight She don't see it, no she don't like it Always remember empires never last They always crumble and fall Always remember empires never last They always crumble and fall When I look at you, I see nothing at all Just a big black hole where there should be a soul |

This is a crazy situation as nobody else really cares So from now on everything I do I do it for me and mine A selfish streak I know but it's about time There's so much I want to experience some legal some not It makes life more exciting, I've got to give it a shot Because each day I'm feeling like I'm dying just a little bit more Because each day I'm feeling like my energy is seeping away This life could be my last, this life could be my last This life could be my last, at least we had a blast I want to travel to the ends of the earth And see what it's really all about I want to soak up our destructive history And trying once and for all to work it all out Because each day I'm feeling like I'm dying just a little bit more Because each day I'm feeling like my energy is seeping away This life could be my last, this life could be my last This life could be my last, at least we had a blast This life could be my last, this life could be my last This life could be my last, at least we've had a blast I know that there's no sense in much that we do But there has to be a cause and effect for it all to come true Because each day I'm feeling like I'm dying just a little bit more Because each day I'm feeling like my energy is seeping away This life could be my last, this life could be my last This life could be my last, at times it went so fast This life could be my last, this life could be my last This life could be my last, at least we've had a blast |

You promise so much, but deliver so little
Make out you care, despite the fact that you're so fickle Our eyes can see clearly and our ears can hear Still, everything you say is all so unclear Avoiding the questions with the answers you give The con goes on and on, how can we believe? Are you speaking in tongues? or just dodging the issues Or busy stocking up on extra three ply tissues! Myopia, myopia ... too blind to see the truth Myopia, myopia ... as history will prove Myopia, myopia ... where is the real you? Myopia, myopia... True colours, shining through Bland and benign are the politics you deal On both sides of the house, such a slow turning wheel The passion is lacking, the rhetoric is stale How can you succeed where others always fail? Can I have a pair of your rose tinted glasses? So life looks much better for all us lower classes Why should we suffer this barrage of deceit? You only fool yourself when you can't cope with the heat! Myopia, myopia ... too blind to see the truth Myopia, myopia ... as history will prove Redopia, Blueopia ... the onus is on you? Myopia, myopia.... True colours shining through.... |

Like a jigsaw, our inheritance builds us, moulds us
As individuals, hybrids, mongrels Never quite perfect, but perfect in our own way We are different from our kin, though parts of us are the same There is a part of me that is my ancestry Therefore am I not free, am I unique? I am imago We are imago We are all imago Imago We carry traits of our relatives Through generations of gradual change We carry on the order natural chaos that binds us In to living, breathing human or not so human beings But our legacy, offspring keeps us searching through tinted eyes There is a part of me that is my ancestry Therefore am I not free, am I unique? I am imago We are imago We are all imago Imago I am imago We are imago We are all imago Imago |

I can't help my reflections
Can't escape your inflections Bamboo sticks and bed sheets Bedouin's alive and well Castles rise up from the warm grey sand Before the real buildings rose up high Watching Cinnabar's dancing By the bridge at the end of the dusty road Tickle & Scratch on the old black stool Mince & potato holiday meal Sandy & Pipkin on lunch time tele Memory is alive and well Both of you irreplaceable Never thought you'd be apart From South Shields to Dorset A long and finite journey |

Floating in the dead sea salts, staring at the sky above
Watching all the payloads pass, crushing the peace white dove Turning the pages of a paper, images of hate and war Tweaking at my conscience, what is it all for? Drifting ion the dead sea salts, staring at the endless blue Looking for another opening, trying to get some truth Should I stay above or should I go below Would I find a better place to drown in my sorrow? Karma for one, karma for one Lost in my world Silent in my world Karma for one, karma for one Safe in my world Me and my karma for one Lying in the dead sea salts, staring at the vapour trails The beauty of the beast above, such irony beguiling me Aloof and alone in the sky, I wonder if they wonder why? Pushing the button of fate, another terrorist state Soaking in the dead sea salts, waiting for the World to turn I could wait a million years in this pool of salty tears Maybe I should drift away lighten the weight on my shoulders Could I find a better way to live all my tomorrows? Karma for one, karma for one Lost in my world Silent in my world Karma for one, karma for one Safe in my world Me and my karma for one Shooting up the shanty towns, blowing holes in the roads to freedom A sad matter of a sick deja vu, yes we've seen it all before Bathing in the blood of the victims of yet another war of attrition It never had to be but it is, it is now, it is here, it is real Here in the heart of the Holy Land, surely there's some contradiction Here's to the end Cheers to the end Here's to the end! |

Mistakes, mistakes ... I know you don't make 'em
Problems, problems ... I know you don't create 'em I know that you know you are never, ever wrong Always blaming somebody else Though we're not sure quite sure who But you and I know because you told me so that it's not you! Because you're ... perfection personified, never lost and never lied Perfection personified, a perfect example to everyone of how not to live your own life! So sad, so sad, you're not aware of your own failings Opinions, opinions ... you've got them by the truckload Even when you don't understand what you're saying But still you amble along in your own perfect bubble Leaving behind you a trail of rubble Whose going to catch you when you finally fall? Because you're ... perfection personified, never lost and never lied Perfection personified, a perfect example to everyone of how not to live your own life! Respectable, infallible, inculpable, unfathomable, not liable Thoroughly objectionable, sitting on a pedestal that's in danger of collapsing ... The epitome of smarm, so smug and self satisfied Safe in your cushy job, plenty of money Devoted family man and a wife who calls you 'honey' You're smiling and we're smiling and we're laughing at you You think you have it made but what you don't realise is that the joke is on you Because you're ... perfection personified, never lost and never lied Perfection personified, a perfect example to everyone of how not to live your own life! |

Follow me if you want the truth I cannot, but I can talk to you I say nothing, but still you understand I hold my hand out to you Don't be afraid, I come in peace It may seem unusual to you Leave all your cynicism behind you Behind you, leave it behind you Swim with me in the ocean deep Be amazed by all the sights you'll see Don't you worry, you'll still be able to breathe It's another World down here, naturally ...

And everyone else knows best But it's always easier said than done It doesn't matter what you do There's also someone else who knows better than you Even if they've been involved at all In the kind of things that you do They can always point you in the right direction Give you tips and a masterclass on how to get on Everyone's got an answer And everyone else knows best But it's always easier said than done There are those who have verbal diarrhoea Some, it seems have just got not no fear Some are just downright dangerous We'd all do well to steer clear It's always easier than you think Or so the others may say But they're not the ones who are taking the risks In the cold light of day Everyone's got an answer And everyone else knows best But it's always easier said than done Everyone's got an answer And everyone else knows best But it's always easier said than done |

Sitting alone silent in thought
Reflecting on how life used to be It seems such a long time ago now Since fate dealt such a devastating blow She was the dream of many a young A beauty standing out from the crowd The World was waiting for her to blossom Now she sits waiting for a miracle Her courage keep her going Gives her the will to live The best she can, the best she can Her inner strength is holding She'll prove she can live a life full of promise and not regret The best she can, the best she can Like a bolt out of the blue How could nature be so cruel I couldn't believe that it happened to you Her pretty smile belies her pain The pain she feels so deep inside But she can hold her head up high For still she has her pride She has faith on her side She's not beaten yet, she'll keep up the fight There's so much left for her to prove As each new dawn breaks, she's got what it takes Though nothing is taken for granted Determined to win, against all the odds Laying to rest the beast within the beauty The World was waiting for her to blossom Now she sits waiting for a miracle Her courage keep her going Gives her the will to live The best she can, the best she can Her inner strength is holding She'll prove she can live a life full of promise and not regret The best she can, the best she can Like a bolt out of the blue How could nature be so cruel I couldn't believe that it happened to you Her pretty smile belies her pain The pain she feels so deep inside But she can hold her head up high For still she has her pride She has faith on her side Like a bolt out of the blue How could nature be so cruel I couldn't believe that it happened to you Her pretty smile belies her pain The pain she feels so deep inside But she can hold her head up high Like a bolt out of the blue How could nature be so cruel I couldn't believe that it happened to you Her pretty smile belies her pain The pain she feels so deep inside |

A burning nostalgia
Singes the damp early evening air As the coffin parades On to a rain sodden stage Set down by the bearers in solemn poise Anticipation mounts, all is still In this heavily charged atmosphere We're lost in nostalgia But look to the future One for the record One for the memory... In to the bowl of human celebration Steps our hero to ecstacy out front and they know it! Blinded by the footlights But he knows just where to face With a ready rapport, the performance begins The reunion is almost complete We're lost in nostalgia But look to the future One for the record One for the memory... Rael arise from your aerosol guise What a surprise! But no fox in a frock on the rocks (What no fox?) Then in comes the old man Dare I be so beautiful, just like a flower A flower! In the new Jerusalem On comes the seventh star The crowds are going crazy Seven years gone by It's enough to make you cry A feeling of deja vu ensues On the stage once more The band play on and on and on In their old shoes We're lost in nostalgia But look to the future One for the record One for the memory... We're lost in nostalgia But look to the future One for the record One for the memory... |

Falling though a whirlpool of contempt
You struggle to the surface for air All around you is indifference and jealousy Nobody seems to care Now you're looking for a new place to hide A sanctuary in your thoughts Drifting away on a journey of drams Where nothing is quite as it appears to be Silence erodes the noise That soon will not exist Dusk turns in to night And darkness merges with the mist Those who dare to venture in To this strange and magical world In to a soulless second life They are bound to be hurled Now you are spinning and spiralling down Through an endless whirlpool Going round and round Cold and crazy, going out of your mind This is your last chance Now that you've found.. That the soulless second life Has taken over your mind For trespass such as this You'll pay a capital fine The silence that seems so loud Is twisting your sanity Your wires are warped And your cables are crossed There's no way you can break free Silence erodes the noise That soon will not exist As dusk turns in to night And darkness merges with the mist Those who dare to venture in to This strange and magical world In to a soulless second life They are bound to be hurled... |

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 |

Silent stares through a window pane
Anxious expressions make their claim An army of souls lost long ago A pyramid mentality still runs this show Apollo disappeared way before dawn And paradise was where we were drawn Smoke stained glass comfort steals the light As the whitewash floats like snowflakes on a bitter winter breeze... She wraps up warm still standing She's still standing where she has so many times before And though the story is wearing thin Age is counting, my friend age is counting And she is dying Grime on the gutter, slime on the shutter There's plenty for the rats And plenty rats for the cats to grow fat! Meanwhile the skeleton on the corner Is holding out bare knuckles He's looking for charity Looking for a chance to live But this is not real life No, not in my eyes can you tell the difference or understand the circumstances Here in Paradise... It's here, it's there, it's all around, it's everywhere You can sense it, you can feel it, you can touch it Welcome to Paradise, Paradise, Paradise If only it were half as nice! Oh come closer, I want to get to know you Much closer, I want to see you under the light Much nearer, I want to feel your heart beat Oh much nearer, much closer I want to feel your breath on my brow Oh much closer, we can be as one together All together, together just for this night Welcome to Paradise...

I could be God or I could be the Devil
I could be a force for good or I could be evil I can smile like an Angel Or I can roar like a demon I can be timid, quiet as a mouse Or I could go crazy like a psycho killer I could be human, shock horror Or perhaps some otherworldly creature Which way will I go? It really depends on how I feel I can always be God He can exist deep inside of me But it doesn't make me better or a better person Perhaps it just gives me an excuse to do just what I want to do God and the Devil are not so different Both manipulate in their own ways Which way shall I go? It really depends on how I feel Am I happy or am I sad Am I rational or am I mad It's all a matter of perspective Yes I guess it's all relative Am I the poison Am I the vice It's for someone else to decide... I COULD BE GOD I could behave like a crazed maniac Or I could sit quietly watching the carnage on the TV But I'm still the same multi faceted me It seems so ridiculous as I sit there moulded to the sofa Contentedly sipping my Earl Grey tea I can hide behind my own God He will forgive me all of my sins Give me carte blanche to do what I want Just as long as I repent And it's all a matter of perspective Yes I guess it's all relative Am I the poison Am I the vice It's for someone else to decide...

But still so many problems closer to home seem to be ignored If you want to be a "real hero", it's the mundane things in life Education and the health of the nation which need putting right Now, let me take your hand I'll lead you to the promised land You know you can trust in me I'll be right behind you, just wait and see Don't listen to the mad man, he got insanity in his eyes Doesn't know what he's talking about, no sincerity only lies Vacant glances, taking chances, sounds like the rhetoric of fools He's a man of material means, I'm not sure what he's trying to prove Now, let me take your hand I'll lead you to the promised land You know you can trust in me I'll be right behind you, just wait and see You have to understand That I'm the man who ties your hands Politically and economically I'm the controller of your destiny It's a dangerous path we are taking Beware of false prophets spinning yarns of deceit Now, let me take your hand I'll lead you to the promised land You know you can trust in me I'll be right behind you, just wait and see You, you have to understand That I'm the man who ties your hands Politically and economically I'm the controller of your destiny |

Liberte Fraternite Egalite
"Stubborn resistance was met in some places" 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 Infiltrate. agitate, exacerbate, manipulate Eradicate, decimate, retaliate, annihilate We will never surrender 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 Invalidate, facilitate, emancipate, consolidate Identify, rectify, pacify, unify Our spirit never shall be broken 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? All becomes clearer In the end |

Always remember empires never last
They always crumble and fall A bully with a smile, transparently nice Beware as she carries a big spoon and a long sharp knife She'll diss you and stab you as soon as look at you She'll point the finger and pull the trigger For no good reason And your only crime was to tell the truth She don't like it, no she don't like it Always remember empires never last They always crumble and fall Little Miss Glory seeker taking all the accolades But if something goes horribly wrong her enthusiasm rapidly fades And she'll run a mile to distance herself if it doesn't work out And let some other poor sods take the blame, of that there is no doubt She don't see it, no she don't see it Always remember empires never last They always crumble and fall And I don't know how she sleeps at night She blots out the truth and believes in all her own hype No, I don't know how she sleeps at night She enjoys the thrill of a kill and a dirty fight She don't see it, no she don't like it Always remember empires never last They always crumble and fall Always remember empires never last They always crumble and fall When I look at you, I see nothing at all Just a big black hole where there should be a soul |

I'm getting tired of all your broken promises
I'm getting tired of all your figured exuses I'm sick to the back teeth of all your boring anecdotes You know I've heard them all a million times before I don't think you realise what damage you have caused We can't go on like this, we can't take anymore How long have we got to wait How long before you complete How long before you finished what you started Tell me how much more time is this all going to take? You have to listen and get on with this belated show Termination, it's the only way Termination, it's the only answer You don't seem to have any sense of urgency Meanwhile our lives are put on hold as we wait to break free You're taking all our money and you're bleeding us dry And still we have nothing to show for all our efforts We've got to see some action, payback time is near How long before we can capture your attention, about time we were out of here How long have we got to wait How long before you complete How long before you finished what you started Tell me how much more time is this all going to take? You've taken the piss and now it's time for some closure Termination, it's the only way Termination, it's the only answer Why can't you see the problems you have caused I can't believe you feel no guilt or remorse How long have we got to wait How long before you complete How long before you finished what you started Tell me how much more time is this all going to take? You've told your jokes, you've had your fun, now get it done! How long have we got to wait How long before you complete How long before you finished what you started Tell me how much more time is this all going to take? You've told your jokes, you've had your fun, now get it done! Tell me how much more time is this all going to take? |

1. Otherworldly Pleasures
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.... |

Voices in the chamber Murmurings on the floor Dissension on the benches Echoes around the hall The Iron Lady bellows The House in disarray The opposition are seething It's always been that way Here, in the chamber of horrors, horrors Here, in the chamber of horrors, horrors Carefully crafted rhetoric Never straying too close to the point So many vested interests In the hammer house Rally all your comrades Stick to your guns Agree to disagree Whatever the outcome Here, in the chamber of horrors, horrors Here, in the chamber of horrors, horrors Horrors, horrors, horrors! Welcome to my chamber There's so much here to do You can laugh or joke Or curse and swear And run the country too Deep down in the belly Of your revered democracy You can say just what you want to say But don't you disagree with me, no... If you have a local problem You can come and share it with us We'll do our best to help you But don't you make too much of a fuss Here, in the chamber of horrors, horrors Here, in the chamber of horrors, horrors |

The last time that I saw you was on stage in a video
Alive and high kicking at Hammersmith O... So good So good I can close my eyes and picture movement so serene Beauty in full motion a true whimsical princess... Oh yes... So good, so sensual So good, so sensual, sensual, sensual... Evaporation, evaporation, where did you go to? Where did you go? Evaporation, evaporation, I've really missed you So much Although a decade has passed I still think of you It only seems like yesterday I know you are no child but I can feel your innocence When I visualise, in my mind, in my head, oh yes! I doubt if you'll ever know me But it would warm me so much if you did, oh if you did You take all my breath away and send my pulse a racing Into overdrive, you do... Without fail So good, so sensual So good, so sensual, sensual Evaporation, evaporation, where did you go to? Where did you go? Evaporation, evaporation, I've really missed you So much Not so much as a whisper you further the enigma Although it seems like yesterday If only I could talk to you If only I could meet you If only we could harmonise together If only I could sing with you If only I could breath you Maybe we could harmonise together Evaporation, evaporation, where did you go to? Where did you go? Evaporation, evaporation, I've really missed you So much Evaporation, evaporation, it's good to see you back again In the fold Evaporation, evaporation, I've really missed you So much Don't stay too long Don't evaporate Don't evaporate... |

A wave of humility is sweeping across from the East
Former hard line heroes have been humbled to their knees Corridors of power echo with rumours of change Nothing in our history forever stays the same Silent revolution - not a General to be heard People power talking - the power of the spoken word Quiet revolution - a peaceful pragmatic approach Real people power - a subject not often broached The puppet master pulls the strings, the marionettes are weaving In and out, side to side to escape their master's teasing The voice of reason from the Motherland is holding to its course Weeding out dissension and silencing the hawks Silent revolution - not a General to be heard People power talking - the power of the spoken word Quiet revolution - a peaceful pragmatic approach Real people power - a subject not often broached Reform, react, a clearer, brighter destiny Reform, react, a safer world for you and for me Armchair observers might not get the whole picture Who understands everything there is to understand The mere thought of hope and increased democracy Is reward enough in and of itself, well we'll see What of the ordinary people? The one's who've had to suffer Who've lived with austerity And never had the privileged pleasures Silent revolution - not a General to be heard People power talking - the power of the spoken word Quiet revolution - a peaceful pragmatic approach Real people power - a subject not often broached Constructive revolution - building blocks to a better life People power talking - time has come to turn the tide |

Ninth floor, Hotel Metropole
High security, protecting another world Ten thousand reports of the unexplained And to this day that is how they remain Official denials, mass cover-ups No unauthorised personnel This door is kept tightly shut! Shut, shut, shut, shut Tightly shut, kept shut Shut, shut, shut, shut This is Room 801 You're looking at Room 801 Here in Room 801 The legendary room 801 801... White lights, getting brighter Then fading, disappear A distant drone, getting louder Then fading, disappear Radio interference, no logical explanation An unusual blip on the radar screen It's too large for a man made flying machine Yes we know, we know They know, they know We all know, we know They know, they know We all know, yes we all know This is Room 801 You're looking at room 801 Here in Room 801 You're looking at Room 801 801... From the Air Ministry To the DDI From the MOD To the CIA All information classified Not available to you or I From Salandin to Kilgallen From Gaydon to Lakenheath What are we to believe? What are we to believe? What should we believe? What the hell should we believe? Tell me! Will we ever solve these mysteries? What lies within Room 801? "I am convinced that these objects do exist They are not manufactured by any nation on earth I can therefore see no alternative to believing That they come from some extra-terrestrial source!" |

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! Don't digitise too far |
