Firth Of Fifth

The path is clear
Though no eyes can see
The course laid down long before.
And so with gods and men
The sheep remain inside their pen,
Though many times theyve seen the way to leave.
He rides majestic
Past homes of men
Who care not or gaze with joy,
To see reflected there
The trees, the sky, the lily fair,
The scene of death is lying just below.
The mountain cuts off the town from view,
Like a cancer growth is removed by skill.
Let it be revealed.
A waterfall, his madrigal.
An inland sea, his symphony.
Undinal songs
Urge the sailors on
Till lured by sirens cry.

Hold On My Heart

Hold on my heart
Just hold on to that feeling
We both know weve been here before
We both know what can happen
Hold on my heart
Cos Im looking over your shoulder
Ooh please dont rush in this time
Dont show her how you feel
Hold on my heart
Throw me a lifeline
Ill keep a place for you
Somewhere deep inside
So hold on my heart
Please tell her to be patient
Cos there has never been a time
That I wanted something more
If I can recall this feeling
And I know theres a chance
Oh I will be there
Yes I will be there

More Fool Me

Here am i
Who while away the mornings
Since youve gone
Too long have I lay alone
Not knowing which way to turn.
And there you are
Quite sure that you were right
Knowing full well
That Id be the first one
To go down.
And youd be the one who was laughing
Except when things werent going your way
And then the lady would say that shed had enough
Wandering around on her own.
The day you left
Well I think you knew youd not be back
Well at least it would seem that way
Because you never said goodbye.
But when it comes round to you and me
Im sure it will work out alright.

Afterglow

Like the dust that settles all around me,
I must find a new home.
The ways and holes that used to give me shelter,
Are all as one to me now.
But i, I would search everywhere
Just to hear your call,
And walk upon stranger roads than this one
In a world I used to know before.
I miss you more.
Than the sun reflecting off my pillow,
Bringing the warmth of new life.
And the sounds that echoed all around me,
I caught a glimpse of in the night.
But now, now Ive lost everything,
I give to you my soul.
The meaning of all that I believed before
Escapes me in this world of none, no thing, no one.
And I would search everywhere
Just to hear your call,
And walk upon stranger roads than this one

Misunderstanding

There must be some misunderstanding
There must be some kind of mistake
I waited in the rain for hours
And you were late
Now its not like me to say the right thing
But you couldve called to let me know
I checked your number twice, dont understand it
So I went home
Well Id been waiting for this weekend
I thought that maybe we could see a show
Never dreamed Id have this feeling
Oh but seeing you is believing
Thats why I dont know why
You didnt show up that night
There must be some misunderstanding
There must be some kind of mistake
I was waiting in the rain for hours
And you were late
Since then Ive been running around trying to find you
I went to the places that we always go

Am I Very Wrong?

Am I very wrong
To hide behind the glare from an open minded stare
Am I very wrong
To wander in the fear of a never ending lie
Am I very wrong
To try to close my ears to the sound they play so loud
Am I very wrong
The happiness machine is trying hard to sing my song
Todays your birthday friend, everything all right
Let us our greetings to you send
Happy friend, everything all right
We hope your life will never end
Am I very wrong
To want to steal a pin then Ill check that I have skin
Am I very wrong
To want to leave my friends and the curse of the happiness machine
Todays your birthday friend, everything all right
Let us our greetings to you send
Happy friend, everything all right
We hope your life will never end

Man Of Our Times

Im one of many, I speak for the rest but I dont understand
Tonight tonight, oh tonight, tonight
He brings another day another night, another fight
Well theres another day done and theres another gone by
Hes a man of our times a man of our times
Tonight tonight, oh hes burning bright
Hes a man of our times, hes a man of our times, ooh, ooh, ooh.
And in the beating of your heart there is another beating heart
All at once I can see what we do,
Me into me and you into you
Me into me and you into you
Tonight, tonight, oh hes s burning bright
Everyone is on their feet cos he is out, out on the street
Theres another day done and theres another gone by.
No more me into me and you into you
Tonight tonight, oh hes burning bright.
Man of our times, hes a man of our times
Hes a man of our times, ooh, ooh, ooh.
And in the beating of your heart, there is another beating heart
Hes a man of our times...

Living Forever

Im feeling so confused today
Theyve gone and changed the rules again
Cos in my life Im trying hard
To do it all so I can remain
Healthy and sane
Ill live forever, always one more tomorrow
Living forever, always one more tomorrow
I heard it on the radio
Too much of what they said wasnt so
And now weve got to do those things
That they thought before were so wrong
To be healthy and strong
And live forever, always one more tomorrow
Living forever, always one more tomorrow
I know we dont need you
I know we dont believe you
You dont really have the answers
You think you know better
You think it really matters
You just want to rule over everybodys lives

Was it you or was it me?
Or was it he or she?

Harlequin

Came the night a mist dissolved the trees
And in the broken light colours fly, fading by.
Pale and cold as figures fill the glade
Grey is the web they spin, on and on, and on and on.
Through the flame still summer lingers on
Though her pictures soon shatter.
All, always the same.
But there appears in the shades of dawning,
Though your eyes are dim,
All of the pieces in the sky.
There was once a harvest in this land.
Reap from the turquoise sky, harlequin, harlequin,
Dancing round, three children fill the glade,
Theirs was the laughter in the winding stream, and in between.
Close your door, the picture fades again
From the flames in the firelight.
All, always the same,
But there appears in the shades of dawning,
Though your eyes are dim,
All of the pieces in the sky.
