Too Close To The Sun
(parsons, bairnson, elliott)
There must be a thousand ways
Holding us within this maze
Every path we take leads us astray
Comfort me my only son
Till the day my work is done
Theres no earthly reason we should stay
And when the wind gets under these wings
You will feel what freedom brings
Stay right by me, walk dont run
I dont want you flying too close to the sun
Turn your eyes towards the light
Steal away in silent flight
The skies are calling out to you and me
Over sea and over land
God protect us with your hand
Bring us safely to our destiny
And now the wind is under our wings
We can taste what freedom brings
Stay right by me, walk dont run

Im Talkin To You
[pack/powell]
Somehow you fell out of time
Boy you lost your place in line
But dont even try
To drag me down too
Im talkin to you, Im talkin to you
One star rises, one falls from the sky
Youre still hiding the way you feel inside
One word closer to things we need to say
One cut deeper to tear the past away
You think I dont know your mind
But I know fools dont change with time
Until the warning signs
Come out of the blue
Im talkin to you, Im talkin to you
One lights burning - another fades away
Dont stand watching your dream go down in flames
One step closer, the door is open wide
Come tomorrow well see the other side
On and on until we change

Back Against The Wall
[bairnson]
Stand up, and with your hand on the bible
Tell the truth to one and all
cause you know that feeling
When youve got your back against the wall.
My god, its only tuesday tomorrow
And loved ones gone and blown it all
Now youve got no money and you feel your back against the wall.
Well, if you talk to your brothers and they dont give a damn
And you look like youre gonna fall
You can call my number when you feel your back against the wall.
Some trippers got you right in a corner
And you feel youre gonna lose it all
Now you dont want trouble but you feel your backs against the wall.
So the guy moves forward but you hold him away
Shit theres no one there to hear you call
So you take your chances and you push him back against the wall.
Now the guys in the gutter and you dont give a damn
And he looks kind of weak and small
cause you called his number when you felt your back against the wall.

Separate Lives
Eric woolfson - lead vocal
Its been a long road
Weve walked the last mile
We reach the same conclusion
And we stop for a while
Together we know
The way we must go
Were leaving an illusion
Thats for us to share
Only for us to share
We live our separate lives
And go our different ways
Cause we dont see eye to eye
And we cant stand face to face
We live our separate lives
While counting all the days
Till the two of us arrive
In another time and place
We share the same thoughts
We read the same lines

(The System Of) Doctor Tarr And Professor Fether
Just what you need to make you feel better
Just what you need to make you feel
Just what you need to make you feel better
Just what you need to make you feel
At the far end of your tether
And your thoughts won't fit together
So you sleep light or whatever
And the night goes on forever
Then your mind change like the weather
You're in need of Doctor Tarr and Professor Fether
Just what you need to make you feel better
Just what you need to make you feel
Just what you need to make you feel better
Just what you need to make you feel
Even clouds seem bright and breezy
'Cause the livin' is free and easy
See the rat race of a new way
Like you're wakin' up to a new day
It's a wise thing if you're clever
Take a lead from Doctor Tarr and Professor Fether

Children Of The Moon
(lead vocal - david paton)
Pay no attention to the writing on the wall
The words seem empty cause theres nothing there at all
We let the wise men beat the drums too soon
We were just children of the moon
No one to turn to
Nowhere to run to even if we could
Too late to save us but try to understand
The seas were empty there was hunger in the land
We let the blind man lead the way too long
Easy to see where we went wrong
Nothing to live for
Nothing to die for
Were lost in the middle of a hopeless world
Lost in the middle of a hopeless world
Children children of the moon watch the world go by
Children children of the moon are hiding from the sun and the sky
Children children of the moon watch it all go by
Children children of the moon are blinded by the light in their eyes
No one to turn to

Money Talks
(lead vocal - john miles)
Money dont grow on a money tree
The more you take the less for me
Money dont buy what you really need
It make an iceman cry, a stoneman bleed
But when you get right down to it, no matter who you are
It rules your life like a virgin queen
One day you might get over it, but in the meantime
It rules the world likea green machine
In the bank, in a box, money talks
In the black, on the rocks, money talks, money talks
Money dont lose in the money game
It drags you down like a ball and chain
So money dont come with a guarantee
It make a fool of you, it make a fool of me
But when you get right down to it, no matter what you say
It ties you down but it can set you free
Some day you might get over it, but in the meantime
It burns you up in the first degree
Moscow, bangkok, money talk

Winding Me Up
(lead vocal - chris rainbow)
Well it was only a game she was mine for the asking
And Id figured the whole thing out
When she told me her name it was more than a feeling
There wasnt any doubt
Well it felt so good it was hard to break it
Too much for me to explain
But in a matter of time Im gonna be myself again
Youve been
Winding me up too long
Im over my head is it day or night
Cause woman you aint so strong
But you caught me by suprise
Burned me with your eyes
Cut me down to size
Well it was only a game she was only a number
But I figured it out all wrong
Every time that I said Ill move on tomorrow
I hung around too long
Well it felt so good it was too hard to break it

Psychobabble
(lead vocal - elmer gantry)
Tell you bout a dream that I have every night
Tell you bout a dream that I have every night
It aint kodachrome and it isnt black and white
Take me for a fool if you feel thats right
Well Im never on my own but theres nobody in sight
I dont know if Im scared of the lightning
Trying to reach me
I cant turn to the left or the right
Im too scared to run and Im too weak to fight
But I dont care its all psychobabble rap to me
Tell you bout a dream that I have every night
Its in dolby stereo but I never hear it right
Take me for a fool well thats alright
Well I see the way to go but there isnt any light
I dont know why Im scared of the lightning
Trying to reach me
Help me to find what I dont wanna know
Youre taking me there but I dont wanna go
I dont care its all psychobabble rap to me

Light Of The World
Lead vocal - graham dye
I am just a stranger, in a promised land
I am only learning a game with the rules I dont understand
Going round in circles, Ive been round before
I can walk no more
I can walk no more
I am just a drifter, in an open sea
But no matter how much I try, the tide will not turn for me
Going round in circles, till I reach the shore
I am blown by so many winds
I can take no more
I can take no more
Light of the world, I stand alone
Cause I could not see the light of the world
Show me the fire, in a true believers eye
I am just a dreamer, when I close my eyes
I can fly so close to the sun, that I can not see it rise
Going round in circles, in a silent sky
I am lost for so many worlds
I can not say why
