Illusions In G Major
On the seven seas there was aphantom ship acoming,
Shinin in the dead of night,
I heard the crew a hummin
Tunes that sounded like the rolling stones and leonard cohen.
But they didnt know the words,
So I assumed that they was foreign.
Chorus
But I heard them just the same doctor let me teach em,
I just wanna please em, doctor let me teach em.
I looked up in the sky there was a phantom plane a comin,
Shinin in the dead of night,
I heard the pilot saying,
Poems that were written by john keats and robert browning.
But he didnt know the words so,
I suppose that it was nothing.
Chorus
But I heard them just the same doctor let me teach em,
I just wanna please em, doctor let me teach em.
Doctor please believe me, I know you wont decieve me,
But do these things Im seein, have any hidden meaning.

Danger Ahead
Here she comes down the street and that look is in her eye
And the way she looks, if looks could kill they might
All the kids down in the street run away
When she goes by its the end of the day
So believe what they say, theres danger in the air
Look through a window and youll see her standing there
Shes the latest of the greatest with the wind blowin in her hair
The prima donna shes back in town
And you see her for miles around
So believe what they say theres danger in the air
Chorus: beware theres danger ahead
The endless summer is dead
Look out theres danger ahead
Monday mornin shes already up and gone
She knows what she wants and she knew it all along
With her entourage on either side
Just one look she cant be denied
So believe what they say theres danger in the air
Chorus
Shes got a reputation thats way ahead of her time

Moment In Paradise
Oh, yeah
She never cried, she only tried
To fly beyond her dreams
No walls around her mind
Deep inside shed try to hide
That she was way beyond her means
No borders and no lines
She said that its your duty to save your soul
To save it for someone
Moment in paradise
Just a moment in paradise
Oh, yeah
Moment in paradise
Just a moment in paradise
Oh, yeah
She floated out upon the wind
That blew my thoughts into the night
She knew the things she had to know
She drifted high above my mind
Blew my brains out, did alright

The Skeleton & The Roundabout
Climb aboard my roundabout
Climb aboard my roundabout
I am the fairground man at heart
I run the roundabout this part
I fill this fair but custom have I none
I turn the handle round so fast it makes my elbow ache
Nobody seems to care
No-one rides upon my roundabout no longer anymore
Oh what a horrid fair!
Climb aboard my roundabout
Climb aboard my roundabout
Climb aboard my roundabout
Climb aboard my roundabout
Money there is none - Im thinner than a skeleton
But wait a minute, Im so thin
That all these aches and pains could be a chance for me
I could be a horror or a ghost in a ghost train
I think Ill go and see
I meet the man who runs the ghost train
He says, youre just great!

Steppin Out
Pack up all your things
Were gonna be leaving
Sooner than I thought
Take the things you bought
Clouds are gathering.
Say goodbye to all your friends
Were gonna be sorry
For a while, thats how it goes
But then again, who knows
About the rain.
Chorus:
Im steppin out
Im moving on
Im gonna see the world
Like a rolling stone
Im gonna be somebody...
Oh, Im steppin out.
Did you hear what he said?
He said they sold me down the river
They thought I was a fool

Starlight
Starlight, I hear you callin out to me.
Sweet love rollin across my mind again.
I want you, yes, I do, I need you, yes, I do.
And then you run.
You gotta stop foolin around,
Keep your feet on the ground, little girl,
And starlight will shine all around, little girl.
Starlight, your eyes are lookin out so far away.
Constellation in the sky is smiling down on me, I wonder, wonder why.
I can feel youre so real, I can see youre so near
And the you run.
You gotta stop foolin around,
Keep your feet on the ground, little girl,
And starlight will shine all around, little girl.
You had me all the summer long, little girl.
Moonglow, come light the way up to my window.
As you roll across the night dont tell noby that I told you so.
I want you, yes, I do, I need you, yes, I do.
And then you run.
You gotta stop foolin around,

Alright
The gold verandah in the dark has gone
Down to the metal man.
No better time to leave the ground
And maybe try to understand.
You gotta hold on to somethin that you believe,
Hold on to somethin that makes you feel alright.
And through the darkest times of your life
You always tried to be the one,
And now the times have made you wonder
If you ever knew what was goin on.
You gotta hold on to somethin that you believe,
Hold on to somethin that makes you feel alright....
Alright, alright, alright, alright, alright.
(background) alright ... alright ... alright
No use thinkin about what you aint got,
Just makes you bitter.
And as you speak, everything that you say
Goes out on the big transmitter.
You gotta hold on to somethin that you believe,
Hold on to somethin that makes you feel alright....

Eldorado
Here it comes, another lonely day, playing the game,
Ill sail away on a voyage of no return to see
If eternal life is meant to be
And if I find the key to the eternal dream.
The painted ladies of the avalon play in the sun,
Take to the road, to the north there lies the chills of cold,
To the south there lies the tales untold.
But in between there lies the place to close your eyes.
And I will stay, Ill not be back, eldorado.
I will be free of the world, eldorado.
Say goodbye, the citys heroes sing, bird on the wing
Feel, feel so free through the life upon the rooftop haze,
All the cheating and the broken days.
So through it all I see theres nothing left for me.
So I will stay, Ill not be back, eldorado.
I will be free of the world, eldorado.
Sitting here on top of everywhere, what do I care.
Days never end, I know the voyages end will soon be here,
No eternal life is here for me.
And now I found the key to the eternal dream.

Bouncer
Do you remember, you said to me
That you would wait, wait for me eternally
Ive been wondering, and Ive been hoping
Your still the same, only you can say
Ill be so glad to be back with you
Ill do anything you want me to
Thats what I want, Ill be so happy, back home
I see your light, shine in my window
And I know you coming home
And as the light grows, grows ever brighter
I see your face, you are alone
And when I tell you all the things I have seen
Youll say that darling you must have been dreaming
Thats what I want, Ill be so happy, back home
Electric visions have crossed, strange decisions have crossed
I felt the stars above me, I have someone to love me
Thats what I want, Ill be so happy, back home
Believe me baby when I say, I wish I never, never,
Never, never, never be away
For the things that I see, be meant for the eyes of a time

Helpless
Helpless, helpless, helpless, helpless
I thought about it but I couldnt think of what to say
But I thought about it anyway.......yeah
I tried to tell you what you mean to me
But it didnt come so easily..........no
I never reckoned
For more than a second
Just how it would be on my own
Id be helpless, without you
Id be helpless, without you
The dawn that calls beyond the night
Tells its old story.
The shadows fade into the light
In all its glory.
Helpless
Helpless baby Im a helpless
Helpless baby
Im a helpless
If I could put a good shine on the past
Do you think that we could make it last - oh yeah
