When the world was woken
Save all unknowing eyes
And thoughts that once were spoken
Left only to despise
And when the dawn is breaking
Look upward to the sky
If life is so hard to live
Why not die?
When the world has woken
And shadows leave the air
Then each spell will be broken
For everyone who cares
The day will then be endless
The night will soon pass by
If life is so hard to live
Why not die?

When the world has woken
For all who see the sun
And gentle words are spoken
The dawning has begun
Then man can live together
With one triumphant cry
If life is so hard to live
Why not die?

In the shining sun
My images they run
Confusing all I've done before I've begun
And every city scene
Becomes a roaring stream
A nightmare and a dream rolled into one

But when the city sleeps
I'm up and on my feet
Along the darkened streets
Hear me run

Through the empty town
Running, laughing, down
No-one else around ? to bother old me
By factories I sway
My shadows seem to play
To do this in the day ? I'd never be free

But when the city sleeps
I'm up and on my feet
Along the darkened streets
Hear me run

Vanessa Simmons, funny kind of name
Young and yet wise, only a child
Wake up in the morning, frown across your face
I know your name, but not your place
Wish I could show you how to live your life
But I'm not sure which one of us is right
God only knows the tears I've cried

Vanessa Simmons, funny kind of name
Have you got life wrong, is it just a game?
Wake up in the morning, find a friend at night
Friends are hard to find, especially at night
Wish I could show you how to live your life
But I'm not sure which one of us is right
God only knows, and He's the one that shows, the tears I've cried

And if I asked you for the sun, would you not say
"Light's not the only way to be"?
And if I asked you for your love, would you not say
"Love is not what you want from me"?
And would I not be right
To sit alone and wonder every night?

I once loved a lady who did change into a child
I saw the light of day shine in her eyes
I loved her like a baby and I raised her to the sky
It seems the light of day did pass me by
Now she walks along the seashore
And she listens to the sea
But I can't say if she ever thinks of me
If I were of the ocean
Or a wave upon the sand
Or just a drop of water in her hand


A pebble or a broken shell
A rock upon the shore
I doubt if I could love her any more
Now she walks along the seashore
And she listens to the sea
And I can't say if she ever thinks of me
No I can't say if she ever thinks of me

How come you happened to be hanging around
When I was looking for a good time?
I thought I always had my feet on the ground
I've got the feeling that it won't be for long
Take it easy, you're moving too fast
You're gonna make it, but let's make it last
The way you're dancing ain't good for my soul
The situation's getting out of control

(You've got me)
Turning in circles
Where do I go?
Turning in circles
Crazy I know

How come you happened to be hanging around
When I was looking for a good time?
I thought I always had my feet on the ground
I've got the feeling that I'm spinning and spinning
(You've got me)
Turning in circles
Where do I go?
Turning in circles
Crazy I know

Too much on your plate
Nothing's gonna get eaten, baby
Said babe, said babe
Stop to hesitate
You're finally gonna get beaten, baby
Said babe, said babe, said babe

I could have died
If my fate had been left up to you
Too late I cried
But my heart she was broken in two

Correcting all my bad mistakes
And making new ones, too
It's hard when life won't do
What you want it to do

Too much on your plate
Nothing's gonna get eaten, baby
Said babe, said babe, said babe
Stop to hesitate
You 're finally gonna get beaten, baby
Said babe, said babe, said babe

Now you've taken your chains
And you wandered off into the blue
But I stay unchanged
I'm still looking for somebody new

And evenings when I'm on my own
I sometimes think of you
It's hard when life won't do
What you want it to do

The long and winding road that leads to your door
Here comes the sun it's alright people shout for more
But were you trying to deceive telling me
All you need is love to succeed
Across the universe one after nine 'o' nine
I got a feeling for you blue and I feel fine
I tried so hard to make believe that I'd see
All you need is love to succeed

CHORUS:

Lady Madonna let it be
Something in the way you moved me yesterday
All you need is love so they say

See the gambler make a stand
Holds a lifetime in his hand
Win the game or lose control
But the world goes on forever
Life's a circle, I recall
Shadows played upon the wall
You pay the piper to call the tune
And the song goes on forever
And when all the words have gone
There's the thought to carry on
Just like a bird that sings
Leave it all behind and spread your wings
You can leave it all behind - spread your wings
Lay me down
Saw the road move on before me
Times when I was tired and lost my way
Looking at life and strangely for the first time
Thinking that I could stay here
But the world moves on forever
And when all the words have gone
There's the thought to carry on
Just like a bird that sings
Leave it all behind and spread your wings
You can leave it all behind - spread your wings

In corridors of air the clouds were waiting there
They knew that never again the skies would be so blue
They took away the sun and with it took the fun
It's true, and now there is really nothing I can do
So I look outside my window at the sheets of pouring rain
And I wonder if the sun will come again
But the sun will never shine the way it used to do
The clouds won't let it through
Oh the sun will never shine its smile for me and you
The clouds won't let it through

It wasn't long ago the people that I knew were glad
And nothing they ever thought about was sad
But since the sun has gone their laughing times are none
That's bad, to make them forget the happy times they've had
So they look outside their window at the sheets of pouring rain
And they wonder if the sun will come again

But the sun will never shine the way it used to do
The clouds won't let it through
Oh the sun will never shine its smile for me and you
The clouds won't let it through

On a cold misty night
On the corner of Haight
She stood with a Colt forty-five.
The gun in her hand
Awaiting her man
A victim to take by surprise.
She's the Golden Gate Park killer
She's the scourge of Frisco Bay
Where she got herself beat up
And left for dead
By a man she felt true love for
But who left her out of hand.
Now she's out to take revenge on every man
As she stands there with a pistol in her hand.
The victim arrives
She looks in his eyes


He goes for the gun in her hand.
Karl Malden was great. (unlike the film, though)
But just a bit late. (this was the real show)
And got it right between the eyes.
She's the Golden Gate Park killer
She's the scourge of Frisco Bay
Where she got herself beat up
And left for dead
By a man she felt true love for
But who left her out of hand.
Now she's out to take revenge on every man
As she stands there with a pistol in her hand.
Repeat Chorus.

The day begins
Riding a rainbow
Bow in her hand
To drive away
The night again
Nothing has changed
And all around
People are waking
King of them all
Has gone to rest
He passed the test
Leaving the stage

Time goes sailing on
Slowly the crowd will appear
And into their ears
The song they'd love to sing forever
Tomorrows come,
Tonight lives on for years

The time has come
Follow the spotlight
Lighting the scene
Another world
The flags unfurled
Into the sky
And in the air
Music is playing
Ingots of gold
Fall to the ground
Creating sound
Into the night

Time goes sailing on
Into the light disappears
And still in the ears
The song they'd love to sing forever
Tomorrows come,
Tonight lives on for years

Here I sit watching the day out
No-one beside me who may doubt
All of the words that I could chose to say
So listen, believe, or be gone from this day
I need a friend to walk with me
And sit in the shade of an old tree
To think nothing much, just agree with my thoughts
To say nothing much, never tell what I ought
Watching the people pass by now
They just don't know why or know how
They don't seem to care about all that I've seen
They just walk on by never knowing I've been
Sitting up here where I'm wind blown
Only to ask and to be shown
Things that would make you believe what I say
I'll tell you myself and I'll show you some day

I think I'm going back from where I came
There's something that I feel but can't explain
People running round and round
Putting one another down
The joker laughs the joker cries
He sees the world through weary eyes
People running round and round
Putting one another down

Too many people, they don't know where they're going
There are no haloes showing
"Peace and love", just greed and hate
It's not too late to see we're all the same
The joker sees a better way
But people laugh and turn away

She walks on through the night
Her circumstances slight
Are only helping her to fail
And though she feels she's right
She tries with all her might
And makes the deepest peril pale
Oh, but she is unreal
Oh, but she doesn't feel
Oh, but she is unreal
She chooses who to love
And then unlike a dove
She takes the laughter from their smile
She wears a velvet glove
Her friends may find it rough
It is a gauntlet all the while
Oh, but she is unreal
Oh, but she doesn't feel
Oh, but she is unreal

She walks on through the night
Her circumstances slight
Are only helping her to fail
And though she feels she's right
She tries with all her might
And makes the deepest peril pale
Oh, but she is unreal
Oh, but she doesn't feel
Oh, but she is unreal
She chooses who to love
And then unlike a dove
She takes the laughter from their smile
She wears a velvet glove
Her friends may find it rough
It is a gauntlet all the while
Oh, but she is unreal
Oh, but she doesn't feel
Oh, but she is unreal

Heard a song the other day
About a major out in space
And though the song was kind of grey
It took me far away
Heard the news the other day
About a sailor oh so gay
And though his policies were grey
They took me far away
'Cause I couldn't stand the thought
Of being taken in again

Have you seen my life, Mr. Groan?
Do you know what it's like to be outside?
All you have to do is smile to cause a landslide
And you do, and you do, Mr. Groan

Heard a song just yesterday
About a man who sold the world away
And though the song was still quite grey
It took me far away
'Cause I couldn't stand the thought
Of being taken in again

Have you seen my life, Mr. Groan?
Do you know what it's like to be outside?
All you have to do is smile to cause a landslide
And you do, and you do, Mr. Groan

Heard a song the other day
About a major out in space
And though the song was kind of grey
It took me far away

Born a poor worker's son
Taught to fight for all his rights
Life for him's just begun
Union might his leading light.
It's a shame and it's a sin
They don't know the mood they're in
Until they strike for what is right
Not what has been.
Shop floor, that's where he's at
Back to back, bring out the rack
Squeeze them 'til they react
Wield the gun; see how they run.
It's a shame and it's a sin
They don't know the mood they're in
Until they strike for what is right
Not what has been.


All out of freedom, all out for more
Show them we mean it, tell them the score
Brother for brother, that's what we're for
Don't give us reasons
Our reasons has gone out the door.
Born a poor worker's son
Taught to fight for all his rights
Life for him's just begun
Union might his leading light.
It's a shame and it's a sin
They don't know the mood they're in
Until they strike for what is right
Not what has been.

Let's come on and get together
Like the sky gets to the sea
Just taking some time on
Let's come on and make it better
Let's make everybody see
Just taking some time on
For those who feel inclined
To talk about the hideen feelings of their mind
Let's come on and get together
Let's come on and get together
Like the sky with the sea
Like the sky with the sea
Just taking some time on

Let's come on and tell the story
Of the way it used to be
Just taking some time on
Let's come on and sing a song now
Of the days when we were free
Just taking some time on
For those who feel inclined
To talk about the hideen feelings of their mind
Let's come on and get together
Let's come on and get together
Like the sky with the sea
Like the sky with the sea
Just taking some time on


Let's come on the feeling's right now
We want everyone to be

Like the sky with the sea
Like the sky with the sea
Just taking some time on

Used to be a dreamer
But you know I've found
A better way - you
Thought I was a loser
But you proved me wrong
You're taking me so much higher
You're taking me so much higher


Higher and higher

Where's the lady and the time I used to know
I think that I've been on the road too long
Scenes of better days are pictured in my head
And haunting me those old familiar songs
Oh sweet Jesus hear me cry
Let me see a clearing sky
For tomorrow I may be back home again
So take the shadow from my eyes

Sunday morning comes I'm feeling kind of down
I can't see back to where it all began
And I know you'd help me if you only could
I don't know why or where or who I am

Oh sweet Jesus hear me cry
Let me see a clearing sky
For tomorrow I may be back home again
So take the shadow from my eyes
Take the shadow from my eyes

I feel sorry for the soldier who is shot and stoned in anger
I feel sorry for his wife and child at home
I feel sorry for the bomber who all life and limb dishonours
For the people that he's maimed and left alone
The Lord God said love thy neighbour
Though in human life he trades, he's still a man
I feel sorry for the children who with open mind are willing
To fight for ideals aged and past their time
I feel sorry for the children who will join the vicious circle
Of instinct fear bred from their parents' minds
The Lord God said love thy neighbour
Break the circle, free the hater, call him a friend

Wake up, wake up, there's a man by your side
With a knife and a gun in each hand
Wake up, wake up, you're one and the same
It's time to stop and decide
Is it love or hate?
Is it peace or war?
It's for sure there's no inbetween
Politicians point views
But they're pointing for you
The solution has to be seen

I thought I saw a summer soldier, helmet on his brow
His silver rifle clutched beneath his armour-plated shroud
I fire in hate, he cried aloud
To protect myself from defeat
My shield's my cause, my cause is war
And from war I'll make no retreat

I dreamt I saw an angel bright, a halo on his brow
His golden sword lay in its sheath beneath his silver shroud
I drwa thee not, he cried aloud
Though your deeds like spears strike my soul
My shield's my love, my cause is peace
Faith be sure I shall not retreat

I woke up to a feeling, it was cold by my side
You had gone with the sunrise, leaving tears in my eyes
I got up with a feeling of an emptiness inside
To the noise of the sidewalk and the silence of my mind
Well I walked out this morning, down a street with no name
To a club called "The Loser", like a dog that's gone lame
Took the club elevator to the floor with a view
I took out life subscription - it's the only one they do

I stepped out on the guard rail, saw the crowds slowly part
Heard a voice shouting "Don't jump, please for God's sake let me move my car!"
Felt a hand on my shoulder, heard a voice cry "Just in time!"
Felt the quick push, felt the air rush
Felt the sidewalk, fell in line

I woke up to a feeling, it was cold by my side

There's a spirit floating on the water
There's a shadow lying down by the shore
Wasn't he there a year before?
A sacrifice for the coat he's wearing
A 'paradise' for the lady
Who dares colour him red upon the shore?

We carry the burden upon our shoulder
We carry their lives in the palm of our hand
Don't you care about the state you're in
Or don't you understand?

See the spirit floating on the water
See the shadow lying down by the shore
Wasn't he there some years before?


We carry the burden upon our shoulder
We carry their lives in the palm of our hand
Don't you care about the state you're in
Or don't you understand?

Look in my eyes
See the light of the universe
I'm man, born of God
Not a clown in disguise
My skin is bronze
My hair is gold
The power within me lights the way
To wealth and fame
All in my name, the final goal

Shout it, shout it, shout it out loud
Sing it, sing it, sing to the crowd
Call out, call out, call out from afar
Make them, make them, make you superstar

Look in my face
See the light
Of a thousand stars shine bright
In the night
As I step
From the stage

Don't burn your hands
On my skin
You can't touch what's deep within
That's my soul
Reaching my final goal

Shout it, shout it, shout it out loud
Sing it, sing it, sing to the crowd
Call out, call out, call out from afar
Make them, make them, make you superstar

Passing time in the sun
To think of things, lost and done
You wonder why she left so soon
No word or reason why
All feelings born can only die
Lazy days passing by
With memories you just can't hide
The song flows on you can't pursue
Your words don't mean a thing
The mood's too hard for you to sing

Moving on with a sigh
A silhouette against the sky
The seconds they dripped right on by
And slowly filled the day
And feelings born can only fade away

As the sounds of the morning
Roll on out of the night
The thoughts of a dreamer
Asking and telling me why
Lady awaken the morning is taking
Your bad dreams away from your eyes
Nothing's forsaken the new day is breaking
So come now it's time to arise
As the sounds of the morning
Rise up out of the blue
Still a voice keeps on saying
Hold on, hold on to you
Lady awaken the morning is taking
Your bad dreams away from your eyes
Nothing's forsaken the new day is breaking
So come now it's time to arise

Is it my life, is it my song
That makes me feel something's wrong?
You know me well, the tale I tell
Is only halfway there, 'cause you
You made me smile when I was down
And you made me happy, being around
So I'm always gonna sing for you

Is it the time, flying along
That makes me feel that it's wrong?
You know me well, the tale I tell
Is only halfway there, 'cause you
You made me smile when I was down
And you made me happy, being around
So I'm always gonna sing for you

Two of them watched in the dawn's early light
And two of them died in the morning
Search not your soul if you want to be right
But two of them died in the morning
It's not for you we cry
No, not for those who die
It is only for their sons
Forget the lives of others who are gone
Two and by two in the dawn's early light
All went to die in the morning
Search not your souls for the truth and the right
For all went to die in the morning light
It's not for you we cry
No, not for those who die
It is only for their sons
Forget the lives of others who are gone
It's not for you we cry
No, not for those who die
It is only for their sons
Forget the lives of others who are gone
Forget the lives of others
Forget your wives and mothers
Forget the lives of others who are gone

Two of them watched in the dawn's early light
And two of them died in the morning
Search not your soul if you want to be right
But two of them died in the morning
It's not for you we cry
No, not for those who die
It is only for their sons
Forget the lives of others who are gone

Two and by two in the dawn's early light
All went to die in the morning
Search not your souls for the truth and the right
For all went to die in the morning light

It's not for you we cry
No, not for those who die
It is only for their sons
Forget the lives of others who are gone

It's not for you we cry
No, not for those who die
It is only for their sons
Forget the lives of others who are gone
Forget the lives of others who are gone
Forget the lives of others
Forget your wives and mothers
Forget the lives of others who are gone

I've been looking for a place that I know well
It's a long long way from here and when I get there
I will tell, I will tell
I've been looking for a time that I once knew
I could spend some happy hours just being there with you
It doesn't matter where you go
As long as there is someone there you know

So if you need a friend you can depend on me
'Cause I know what it feels to be alone
And in the darkest night you need a light to see
Your shadow's sinking low
Just like a stone
Feels like a broken bone
Guess I'll go on home

I've been looking for someone I know so well
She's a long long way from me and when I find her
I will tell her
It doesn't matter where she goes
As long as there is someone there she knows

I've been looking for a place that I know well
It's a long long way from here and when I get there
I will tell, I will tell
I've been looking for a time that I once knew
I could spend some happy hours just being there with you
It doesn't matter where you go
As long as there is someone there you know

So if you need a friend you can depend on me
'Cause I know what it feels to be alone
And in the darkest night you need a light to see
Your shadow's sinking low
Just like a stone
Feels like a broken bone
Guess I'll go on home

I've been looking for someone I know so well
She's a long long way from me and when I find her
I will tell her
It doesn't matter where she goes
As long as there is someone there she knows

So tomorrow,
What of tomorrow?
Will the next day find me hiding in my sorrow?
For she's gone now
It won't be long now
Before my heart begins to cry out, I'm alone now
Yesterday seemed like I lived in a dream
All that I needed was there
Now that she's gone
There's no sense holding on
I know that I shouldn't care

So tomorrow,
What of tomorrow?
Will the next day find me hiding in my sorrow?
For she's gone now
It won't be long now
Before my heart begins to cry out, I'm alone now

Yesterday seemed like I lived in a dream
All that I needed was there
Now that she's gone
There's no sense holding on
I know that I shouldn't care

So tomorrow,
What of tomorrow?
Will the next day find me hiding in my sorrow?
For she's gone now
It won't be long now
Before my heart begins to cry out, I'm alone now

(repeat chorus three times)

I remember people talking
People laughing and sharing their joys
How I long for small time town living
Life was tiring, but love was so sweet
I remember Sunday fishing
Young girls laughing and sharing their joys
How I long for small time town living
Life was tiring, but love was so sweet

How I long for small time town living
Life was tiring, but love was so sweet

Every Day I'm Waiting by The Telephone
Every Day You Keep Me Hanging On
But While You're Away, I Think Night and Day
About Where You're Gone and How For Long
Before Our Love Turns To Stone

See You In The Papers and The Magazines
But a Photograph's No Good To Me
But While You're Away, I Think Night and Day
About Where You're Gone and How For Long
Before Our Love Turns To Stone

Saw You For The First Time and My Shutter Froze
Cameras Clicked, We Kissed and You Were Gone
But While You're Away, I Think Night and Day
About Where You're Gone and How For Long
Before Our Love Turns To Stone

Beauty Contests Were Your Only Claim to Fame
Then Your Body Won Over Your Brain
You Stripped For the Lights
And Things Went Just Right
Now You're Suntanned Right Down To The Bone
And Our Love's Gone, Turned To Stone

On the road and I'm feeling low
Got a ticket for my way back home
I start to feel like a rolling stone
Without company
Down in the bar talking to the trees
I found a lady hanging on my sleeve
I said, "I thank you but I have to leave"
She said, "Stay with me, I need company...
Take a sip of my wine
It's gonna make you feel fine
Come tomorrow, leave it all behind."

I didn't see a warning sign
I held her breath and she was holding mine!
I think I'll be here for a long, long time
If you stay with me, got to be
Take a sip of my wine
It's gonna make you feel fine
Come tomorrow, leave it all behind."

She said, "Why don't you
Come and stay with me
Far away from people we know?
We could live our lives together
Happiness wherever we go"

And I will always love her
And I will always care
And I will always love her

Wasn't long before she grew tired of me
And the life she thought would redeem
All the love she'd thrown away as a child
All the things she thought she had seen

And I will always love her
And I will always care
And I will always love her

- instrumental break -

And I will always love her
And I will always care
And I will always love her

She said, "Why don't you
come and stay with me
Far away from people we know?
We could live our lives together
Happiness wherever we go
And I will always love her
And I will always care
And I will always love her

Wasn't long before she grew tired of me
And the life she thought would redeem
All the love she'd thrown away as a child
All the things she thought she had seen
And I will always love her
And I will always care
And I will always love her

And I will always love her
And I will always care
And I will always love her

She said, "Why don't you
Come and stay with me
Far away from people we know?
We could live our lives together
Happiness wherever we go"

And I will always love her
And I will always care

Wasn't long before she grew tired of me

All the things she thought she had seen

Forgive me, child, I am sorry
I can't see your face
Forgive me, child, I am sorry
I can't hear your name

Take me, take you, lost in other worlds
Take me, take you, crazy boy, lonely girl
Far away, far away, what d'you say?
Far away, so far away
Hey Jude

I was, you were, time was when I could
I knew you knew me
So light your light shining and star bright
Through you, through me, too

Take me, take you, lost in other worlds
Take me, take you, crazy boy, lonely girl
Far away, far away, what d'you say?
Far away, so far away
Hey Jude

We steered our ship to the Sea of all Tranquility
The only sound our voices, as star-struck we fly
Our hopes ever high
That the songs we sing and the words we bring
Should never die
We set our sights on the Sea of all Tranquility
Our pointless flight betraying now fallen we are
(Gods of old now broken and defaced)
Compared to a star
And the final reach to that barren beach
Is much too far

Yesterday our songs of glory shone
A dream of ages every one
We sold our souls for senseless gain
And brought our harvest home in vain
(Above the seven seas is one)

Yesterday our songs of glory shone
A dream of ages every one
We sold our souls for senseless gain
And brought our harvest home in vain

The higher you fly, the harder you fall
The way that it goes, so they say
No mountain's too high, no valley too low
No river too wide on the way
So you're gonna be a rock 'n' roll star
Gonna make it on your own
Write a song that everyone can sing along
So you want to take a trip to the stars
Can you find your way back home?
You'll get your break, but don't you wait too long

The harder you try, the lower you fall
The way that it seems, so they say
The mountain is high, the valley so low
You're losing your dreams on the way

So you're gonna be a rock 'n' roll star
Gonna make it on your own
Write a song that everyone can sing along
So you want to take a trip to the stars
Can you find your way back home?
You'll get your break, but don't you wait too long

Looking behind you
All the bad times that you've had
Looking before you
Only good times?

So you're gonna be a rock 'n' roll star
Gonna make it on your own
Write a song that everyone can sing along
So you want to take a trip to the stars
Can you find your way back home?
You'll get your break, but don't you wait too long
Now don't you wait too long

The higher you fly, the harder you fall
The way that it goes, so they say
No mountain's too high, no valley too low
No river too wide on the way
So you're gonna be a rock 'n' roll star

Gonna make it on your own
Write a song that everyone can sing along
So you want to take a trip to the stars
Can you find your way back home?
You'll get your break, but don't you wait too long
Now don't you wait too long

In the light of the night
Trying hard to forget
All the cries and the lies
Of the people she met

Hypnotized by the sight
That you're seeing and yet
Can't disguise in her eyes
There's a look of regret

So she drifts into tomorrow
Maybe she can find a better way
To love and see her sorrow
Vanish in the haze

Rock 'n' roll lady, keep on trying
Like the sand that is washed on the shore
Don't believe all the tears and the crying
She's running back for more

In the bars where the stars
Drink tequila and wine
Loud guitars, fancy cars
And the feeling is fine

See her face every place
Every movement in time
But don't choose or a loser you'll be
When she throws you her line

And she drifts into tomorrow
Maybe she can find a better way
To love and see her sorrow
Vanish in the haze

Rock 'n' roll lady, keep on trying
Like the sand that is washed on the shore
Don't believe all the tears and the crying
She's running back for more

The higher you fly, the harder you fall
The way that it goes, so they say
No mountain's too high, no valley too low
No river too wide on the way

Gonna make it on your own
Write a song that everyone can sing along

All the bad times that you've had
Looking before you
Only good times?

So you're gonna be a rock 'n' roll star
Gonna make it on your own
Write a song that everyone can sing along
So you want to take a trip to the stars
Can you find your way back home?
You'll get your break, but don't you wait too long
Now don't you wait too long

Burning fiery furnace in the sky
Burns the ground around us where we lie
Sad old black-faced thunder will you rise
Bring your cloud and shadows to our eyes
- 간 주 중 -
Blazing star in heaven, mirror bright
Dry our seas and rivers with your light
Universal sentinel you are
Guide of all who look on from afar
- 간 주 중 -
God of old now broken and defaced
Punish all who've fallen from your grace
You whose power leaves the depeest scar
Mystic eye of heaven, Amun Ra

And with the dawn she changes
Her voice in different ranges
The torn and tattered pages
For all I've done, poor wages
Satisfied, I never lied
Say goodbye I couldn't try

Destroy her cards and letters
Act like I never met her
Hardest of all, forget her
Until my heart is better


Satisfied, I never lied
Say goodbye I couldn't try

And with the dawn she changes
Her voice in different ranges
The torn and tattered pages
For all I've done, poor wages
Satisfied, I never lied
Say goodbye I couldn't try

All the nights that I've missed you
All the nights without end
All the times that I've called you
Only needing a friend
Now your eyes shine with beauty
That I missed long ago
Guess the truth is I love you
I can't say any more
'Cause I need you
Yes I want you
Yes I love you
As I look from my window
To the streets where you stand
I am gazing through dark glass
We can't walk hand in hand
Though your friends try to tell me
Though your friends you defend
They keep my heart from your heart
We must be in the end
'Cause I love you
Yes I need you
Yes I love you
All the nights that I've missed you
All the nights without end
All the times that I've called you
Only needing a friend
Now your eyes shine with beauty
That I missed long ago
Guess the truth is I love you
I can't say any more
'Cause I need you
Yes I want you
Yes I love you

It's easy to see a poor boy's blues
When he's working every day
It's harder to be there in his shoes
He was born to be that way

If I tell you tomorrow I'm leaving
Would you understand the reason why?
A poor boy works hard for his living
But a rich man he plays to pass the time

So goodbye, pleased to know you
We had some laughs along the way
But I have to be leaving
And there's nothing you can do to make me stay

If I tell you tomorrow I'm leaving
Would you understand the reason why?
A poor boy works hard for his living
But a rich man he plays to pass the time

So goodbye, pleased to know you
We had some laughs along the way
But I have to be leaving
And there's nothing you can do to make me stay

And with the rain
Soft pools of blue
White mist like love
When you glow so new
Must warm to you

Just like the snow
Falling anew
When it's soaked through
The snowdrops so few
Must warm to you

Take my hand, my love
Come talk to me
Tell me of your walk
Through leaves of green
Where life was free

Tell me of rain
In soft pools of blue
How white mist like love
When you glow so new


Must warm to you

Tell me of snow
Falling anew
How when it's soaked through
The snowdrops so few
Must warm to the love of your heart
Warm to the love of your heart
And warm to you

Take my hand, my love
Come talk to me
Tell me of your walk
Through leaves of green
Where life was free
Take my hand, my love
Come talk to me
Tell me of your walk
Through leaves of green
Where life is free

I was down on the east side
On a block with no name
When I walked in a movie
You were blue, I was game
Tell me, did you love it, baby?
Did you think your smile looked right?
Tell me when you came together
Was it in your mind 'cause it sure wasn't out of sight

Didn't know when I entered
Second seat, second row
It was then that I saw you
But your mouth stole the show

Tell me, did you love it, baby?
Did you think your smile looked right?
Tell me when you came together
Was it in your mind 'cause it sure wasn't out of sight



Got your name, got your number
Got your form on the line
I don't know who you're under
But I know it ain't mine

Tell me, did you love it, baby?
Did you think your smile looked right?
Tell me when you came together
Was it in your mind 'cause it sure wasn't out of sight

I was down on the east side
On a block with no name
When I walked in a movie
You were blue, I was game
Tell me, did you love it, baby?
Did you think your smile looked right?
Tell me when you came together
Was it in your mind 'cause it sure wasn't out of sight

Didn't know when I entered
Second seat, second row
It was then that I saw you
But your mouth stole the show

Tell me, did you love it, baby?
Did you think your smile looked right?
Tell me when you came together
Was it in your mind 'cause it sure wasn't out of sight

Got your name, got your number
Got your form on the line
I don't know who you're under
But I know it ain't mine

Tell me, did you love it, baby?
Did you think your smile looked right?
Tell me when you came together
Was it in your mind 'cause it sure wasn't out of sight

You can make the day seem right
And make the darkness bright
That's what you do


Girl, don't hide your love away
You'll want it back some day
That's what they say


And my friend, we're gonna make it right
And play to the world tonight
We'll play to the world


Time, what's to become of me?
What will the future see?
What will they say?


Life is like a passing dream
It's never what it seems to be
From day to day


And my friend, we're gonna make it right
And play to the world tonight
We'll play to the world


And my friend, we're gonna make it right
And play to the world tonight
We'll play to the world

His crazy frame against the dawn
His hungry leap and ragged fall
A suicidal perch is now laid bare
To searching eyes and empty stares

A fearful silence hits the crowd
The air hangs heavy with the sound
Of useless wings against the morning sky
As paper yields before their eyes

Oh, can you see him now?
A broken man without a dream
Oh, can you hear him now?
A futile laugh above the screams

You took all my money
I gave you no name
My love and my money
Did you think I would chase it in the rain?
My eyes are now open
But what do I see?
One ride after midnight
Had I thought it would mean that much to me?

CHORUS:

Everybody needs someone to love
Everybody needs a friend
Everybody needs someone to care
Do you think you can make it in the end?
Do you think that you can make it, my friend?

I thought it was easy
But what did I know
Of old men and first blood
Or the drunk who gets taken blow by blow?

The dice are all loaded
You pay by the throw
But you pay the loser
Seems the rain is turning into snow

CHORUS

We stand round your doorways
You hang on the walls
Your frames are your windows
Put your bodies on the stalls
You take all our money
We leave you no name
We're dealt just the one card
But the dealer plays in every game

CHORUS

I cannot see you
For the sun is in my eyes
I cannot hear you
Everything you say just passes by
What I'd give for just a smile
Instead of drifting at
A hundred thousand miles
Can you hear me there below?
All my lines have gone dead
And I'm not very sure
Can you hear me there below?
'Cause I'm coming down fast
I can't make it alone
Oh no no no...

I cannot see you
For the sun is in my eyes
I cannot hear you
Everything you say just passes by
Here I stay until I'm found
Insane in space and my world
Is spinning round

Can you hear me there below?
All my lines have gone dead
And I'm not very sure
Can you hear me there below?
'Cause I'm coming down fast
I can't make it alone

Silver, drifting on high
Deep range star lords
Rebel, land of black night
Float by your stars

Mistress of fear see me towards always
Nova bright shine far beyond all time

Beings of the fourth kind
Night time wanderers
Ring worlds timeless in ice
Deep inside Gods

Mistress of fear see me towards always
Secret mood of corridors in hyperspace

Nova bright shine far beyond
The barriers of night
Take me through the laser beams
The moving sands of Mars to see

Mistress of fear see me towards always
Secret mood of corridors in hyperspace

Nova bright shine far beyond
The barriers of night
Take me through the laser beams
The moving sands of Mars to see

Silver, drifting on high
Deep range star lords
Rebel, land of black night
Float by your stars

The world outside my window slowly passes by
As I gaze on the dim glow of the evening sky
Where every breath that I take becomes a vapour cloud
That wraps itself around me to hide me from the crowd

Then like a wall descending
Night will the day be ending
And it's if as though by magic
Everything's become so tragic
Become so tragic

I turn and look behind me and all the crowd have gone
And though they're all around me I feel I am alone
The sounds of day have vanished and I find in their place
There is an awesome silence, of life there is no trace

Then like a wall descending
Night will the day be ending
And it's if as though by magic
Everything's become so tragic
Become so tragic

The world outside my window slowly passes by
As I gaze on the dim glow of the evening sky
Where every breath that I take becomes a vapour cloud
That wraps itself around me to hide me from the crowd

Then like a wall descending
Night will the day be ending
And it's if as though by magic
Everything's become so tragic
Become so tragic

For fifty-five days I've been flying around the world
Didn't anybody know, didn't anyone suppose
That my life up here was slowly drifting by
And all I've got to do is sit and cry

The Earth is so clear and it's simply a reach away
I just had to laugh today but the news it seemed to say
That my life once full was surely running dry
I prayed a while but then I had to cry

Look in my eyes - I know
That man is surely just a man
It's no surprise - I know
The road is far too long
And life too short to carry on

For fifty-five days I've been flying around the world
Here in syncopated time, while my tangled web of rhyme
Dangles aimlessly, time drips slowly by
And all I've got to do is sit and cry

Look in my eyes - I know
That man is surely just a man
It's no surprise - I know
The road is far too long
And life too short to carry on

Need you oh so bad by me
For the sake of pity be
The one whose open arms I see
Reaching out to me
Need you oh so bad
You don't want me any more
Like a thorn that's in the sore
See you around with three or four
Oh my teardrops pour
Need you oh so bad

See the memories appear
They'll be gone within a year
It's the emptiness I fear
Now that you're not here
Need you oh so bad

Now that you're not here
Need you oh so bad

Oh Mother dear
What a night this has been
I awoke in the light of a vision in white
The prettiest girl that I have ever seen
Lately my love, said the lady in white
I have watched from afar, but love draws me near
Now take my hand, hold tight, Mother dear
Do you know what this could mean, Mother dear?
Was it just another dream..... in the night?

Mother dear, on that same silver night Saw a figure in black by the lady in white
He said his name was death, was he right?
Do you know what this could mean, Mother dear?
Was it just another dream..... in the night?
Do you know what this could mean, Mother dear?
Was it just another dream..... in the night?

Mother dear, what a night this has been
It's so cold by your side, no don't cry, can't you see?
Won't you listen to me please, Mother dear
Was it just another dream, Mother dear?

Oh Mother dear

The moon is making patterns on the water
Why it is I just can't say
I'm not old enough or wise enough to wonder
I don't think about the magic that I'm under
Oh moonwater, running out like silver from my eyes
Oh moonwater, running out like silver from my eyes
You'll find me in the twilight on the mountain
When the sun shines on the lake
I'm a child of darkness lost among the thunder
Where the shafts of moonlight break the sky asunder
Oh moonwater, running out like silver from my eyes
Oh moonwater, running out like silver from my eyes

The moon is making patterns on the water
Why it is I just can't say
I'm not old enough or wise enough to wonder
I don't think about the magic that I'm under
Oh moonwater, running out like silver from my eyes
Oh moonwater, running out like silver from my eyes
You'll find me in the twilight on the mountain
When the sun shines on the lake
I'm a child of darkness lost among the thunder
Where the shafts of moonlight break the sky asunder
Oh moonwater, running out like silver from my eyes
Oh moonwater, running out like silver from my eyes

Voices in the air, drifting from afar
Evening finds her waking, dancing with the stars
And when I'm waiting for the sun to smile upon my face
Moongirl's softly sleeping, daylight dreams away
Silence stepping by, lightly on the ground
Movng like a butterfly, never makes a sound
And when I'm waiting for the sun to shine so I can see
Comes the dancing moongirl, watching over me
(Love of my life)

Moongirl shines her light on me
Moongirl, she's the one I see
Takes me to the places where I long to be
She moves me, she moves me

Rain, sea, surf, sand, clouds and sky
Hush now baby, don't you cry
There's a mocking bird
Singing songs in the trees
There's a mocking bird
Singing songs
Just for you and me

Rain, sea, surf, sand, clouds and sky
Time will see your tears run dry
There's a mocking bird
Singing songs in the trees
There's a mocking bird
Singing songs
Just for you and me

Rain, sea, surf, sand, clouds and sun
Bless the tears of love now gone
There's a mocking bird
Singing songs in the trees
There's a mocking bird
Singing songs
Singing just for me...

Rain, sea, surf, sand, clouds and sky
Hush now baby, don't you cry
There's a mocking bird
Singing songs in the trees
There's a mocking bird
Singing songs
Just for you and me
Rain, sea, surf, sand, clouds and sky
Time will see your tears run dry
There's a mocking bird
Singing songs in the trees
There's a mocking bird
Singing songs
Just for you and me

Rain, sea, surf, sand, clouds and sun
Bless the tears of love now gone
There's a mocking bird
Singing songs in the trees
There's a mocking bird
Singing songs
Singing just for me...

I am walking in a dream
Everything I touch it isn't real
People aren't just what they seem
And I really don't know what to feel
Mister Sunshine's not for me

I don't mind the sky of blue
Or the honey clouds that wander by
When that orange thing comes through
I must look away or think I'll die
Mister Sunshine's not for me

Blacker days I'll never see
And I curse your light a hundred times
When you shine your rays on me
I must hide my head or lose my mind
Mister Sunshine's not for me

My old man said I am mad
Said that things were saner in his day
But I didn't listen, Dad
All the words you said I threw away
Mister Sunshine's not for me
Mister Sunshine's not for me

Sky was black, Lord, rain came pouring down
Number 12 bus shuffling down Shaw Road way
Mules keep spinning, black-faced lifers peck the ground
Sun comes up like lightning over Tandle Hills grey

We are mill boys, stuck on the hill boys
Stuck in the mill boys, 'till our dying day
We are mill boys, stuck on the hill boys
Stuck in the mill boys, 'till our dying day

Cotton mill will get you, boy, she'll take you to your grave
Tell you boy to use your head, apprentice out your days
You'll end up a nothing, buy, with cotton as your trade
Sun comes up like lightning over Tandle Hills grey

We are mill boys, stuck on the hill boys
Stuck in the mill boys, 'till our dying day
We are mill boys, stuck on the hill boys
Stuck in the mill boys, 'till our dying day

It's easy to see a poor boy's blues
When he's working every day
It's harder to be there in his shoes
He was born to be that way

Didn't anybody see his hand move faster
Than the lightning in his eyes
Oh! what a cold surprise the flying horses cried
And didn't anybody want to ask the calliope
To call the tune
The flying horses crooned but did not know
The Medicine Man sits on the stage
Eats fire and water, earth and air while we all stare
The silver blade burns bright
And tells us to beware
Of mirrored passages that throw a thousand images
Of younger days
The wheel spins slower as it calls us back to play

Round and round now we go
Shout your name to the wind
As it spins by your side
Coloured lights echo as the sound slips on by
Could that have been me?

Didn't anybody see his hand move faster
Than the lightning in his eyes
Oh! what a cold surprise the flying horses cried
And didn't anybody want to ask the calliope
To call the tune
The flying horses crooned but did not know
The Medicine Man sits on the stage
Eats fire and water, earth and air while we all stare
The silver blade burns bright
And tells us to beware
Of mirrored passages that throw a thousand images
Of younger days
The wheel spins slower as it calls us back to play

Round and round now we go
Shout your name to the wind
As it spins by your side
Coloured lights echo as the sound slips on by
Could that have been me?

The rock on which I stand is slowly sinking in the sand
The sheer realities of life are rushing by
I am looking out at life and I don't know what's wrong or right
And I can't even see the bright side of the moon
I stopped a man in the street today
And I asked him "Sir, is it night or day?"
He just stared (smiled) in disbelief
I asked again but he walked away
He said "Don't you know?"
I said "Can't you say? Is there something inbetween?
Is it something I've not seen?
Did it change so fast or was it just a dream?"
Time and time again I've tried to recreate the past few days
Evaluate the constants from the haze
But every time I think I'm right, they say I'm wrong
"This day is night and night is day -
It's there in black and white"
Night is light and dark is day
If I disagree they say I'm insane
And the treatment will begin
If I say that the day is light
They just point my eyes to the blinding night, saying
"We can't set you free if you always disagree,
So the State is going to pay your doctor's fee"
They put me out in the pouring rain
To enjoy the sun or to feel the pain
Of the nightmare life's become
I asked a man in the street today
Or was it yesterday or the day before?
"Is there something I've not seen?
Is there something inbetween?
Did it change so fast or was it just a dream?"
The rock on which I stand is now beneath the ever-flowing sand
The sheer realities are here to stay
I'm looking out at life and now I know what's wrong and right
It's what you hear and what you read and what they say
I saw a man in the street today
Ask another man "Is it night or day?"
He just stared (smiled) in disbelief
He said "Friend, it's your lucky day
I'm a party man, won't you step this way?"
I've got something you've not seen
Now I know it's not a dreamIt just came so fast, that something inbetween

Even the bad times are good when you're round
Darlin', you kiss away all my blues
Even the hard times are easy to face
'Cause I know that your love will come through.
You light up my flame, then you drive me insane
There ain't nothing that you cannot do
Then you grab for my heart, you just tear it apart
As I shoot all my love into you:
Lovin' is easy with both eyes closed
You know that's the best way to feel it
Lovin' is easy with both eyes closed
Just get a hold and watch how it grows.
Now even the bad times are good when you're round
Darlin', you kiss away all my blues.
Even the hard times are easy to face
'Cause I know that your love will come through.
You light up my soul, and then fill up the whole
Of your being, your love, your desire
Then you grab for my heart you just tear it apart
As I shoot all my love in your fire
Lovin' is easy

Love like a burning fire
Creeping up on you
Watch as the flame grows higher
Can you see it through?

Don't you know the die is cast?
Got to keep on running faster than time
And you're riding high above
Are you gonna lay your love on the line?

Out where the light is burning
There's a heart that's true
Sounds of the night returning
Put a spell on you

Don't you know the die is cast?
Got to keep on running faster than time
And you're riding high above
Are you gonna lay your love on the line?

Love was like a violin playing soft and low
In your heart you held the strings, in my heart the bow
Together we made soft sweet music, together we believed
In every day in every hour our love was everything
Love was like a summer breeze, after pouring rain
Blowing all the clouds away, bringing sun again
Together we made soft sweet music, together we believed
In every day in every hour our love was everything

First dance you were mine, first dance we made it
Last dance, last chance, you know I know you were wrong
You know you were wrong, you know for every feeling there's a song

You were like a mountain stream, flowing fast and free
You were like the autumn leaves blowing from my tree
Together we made soft sweet music, together we believed
In every day in every hour our love was everything

After all the leaves had gone, you were winter snow
You were so cold and far away, I had to let you go
Together we made soft sweet music, together we believed
In every day in every hour our love was everything
