"Day After Day "
(The Show Must Go On)
Gaze at the sky
And picture a memory
Of days in your life
You knew what it meant
To be happy and free
With time on your side
And picture a memory
Of days in your life
You knew what it meant
To be happy and free
With time on your side
Remember your daddy
When no one was wiser
Your ma used to say
That you would go further
Than he ever could
With time on your side
When no one was wiser
Your ma used to say
That you would go further
Than he ever could
With time on your side
Think of a boy with the stars in his eye
Longing to reach them but frightened to try
Sadly, you'd say, someday, someday
Longing to reach them but frightened to try
Sadly, you'd say, someday, someday
But day after day
The show must go on
And time slipped away
Before you could build
Any castles in spain
The chance had gone by
The show must go on
And time slipped away
Before you could build
Any castles in spain
The chance had gone by
With nothing to say
And no one to say it to
Nothing has changed
You've still got it all to do
Surely you know
The chance has gone by
And no one to say it to
Nothing has changed
You've still got it all to do
Surely you know
The chance has gone by
Think of a boy with the stars in his eye
Longing to reach them but frightened to try
Sadly, you'd say, someday, someday
Longing to reach them but frightened to try
Sadly, you'd say, someday, someday
But day after day
The show must go on
And you gaze at the sky

And picture a memory
Of days in your life
With time on your side

(Day after day, the show must go on)
With time on your side

"The Voice"
It's almost a feeling you can touch in the air
You look all around you, but nobody's there
It's been a long time now since you've been aware
That somebody's watching you
You look all around you, but nobody's there
It's been a long time now since you've been aware
That somebody's watching you
(for those with a conscience 'it's' you watching you)
He's gonna get you
Sooner or later when your big chances come
You'll look for the catches, but there'll be none
Remember before you grab the money and run
That someone is watching you
You'll look for the catches, but there'll be none
Remember before you grab the money and run
That someone is watching you
He's gonna get you.
Before you run and hide
He's gonna get you
You got no choice
'Cause you can't escape the voice
He's gonna get you
You got no choice
'Cause you can't escape the voice
Jumping with shadows that come up from behind
You're scared of the darkness that's there in your mind
You're frightened to move because of what you might find
Someone is watching you
You're scared of the darkness that's there in your mind
You're frightened to move because of what you might find
Someone is watching you
He's gonna get you.
Before you run and hide
He's gonna get you
You got no choice

"Don't Let It Show"
If it's getting harder to face every day
Don't let it show, don't let it show
Though it's getting harder to take what they say
Just let it go, just let it go
Don't let it show, don't let it show
Though it's getting harder to take what they say
Just let it go, just let it go
And if it hurts when they mention my name
Say you don't know me
And if it helps when they say I'm to blame
Say you don't own me
Say you don't know me
And if it helps when they say I'm to blame
Say you don't own me
Even if it's taking the easy way out
Keep it inside of you
Don't give in, don't tell them anything
Don't let it,
Don't let it show
Keep it inside of you
Don't give in, don't tell them anything
Don't let it,
Don't let it show
Even though you know it's the wrong thing to say
Say you don't care, say you don't care
Even if you want to believe there's a way
I won't be there, I won't be there
Say you don't care, say you don't care
Even if you want to believe there's a way
I won't be there, I won't be there
But if you smile when they mention my name
They'll never know you
And if you laugh when they say I'm to blame
They'll never own you
They'll never know you
And if you laugh when they say I'm to blame
They'll never own you
Even if you feel you've got nothing to hide
Keep it inside of you
Don't give in, don't tell them anything
Don't let it,
Don't let it show
Keep it inside of you
Don't give in, don't tell them anything
Don't let it,
Don't let it show

"I Wouldn't Want to Be Like You"
If I had a mind to
I wouldn't wanna think like you
And if I had a time to
I wouldn't wanna talk to you
I wouldn't wanna think like you
And if I had a time to
I wouldn't wanna talk to you
I don't care
What you do
I wouldn't want to be like you
What you do
I wouldn't want to be like you
If I was high class
I wouldn't need a buck to pass
And if I was a fall guy
I wouldn't need no alibi
I wouldn't need a buck to pass
And if I was a fall guy
I wouldn't need no alibi
I don't care
What you do
I wouldn't want to be like you

I wouldn't want to be like you
Back on the bottom line
Diggin' for a lousy dime
If I hit a mother lode
I'd cover anything that showed

"Somebody Out There"
Maybe I'm imagining the things they say about me
Maybe there is really nothing there at all
Standing in the middle while the rumours fly around me
Hiding from a shadow on an empty wall
Maybe there is really nothing there at all
Standing in the middle while the rumours fly around me
Hiding from a shadow on an empty wall
When my back is turned he's up to something else
And I must not stop believing in myself
Am I dreaming will the nightmare just go on
And never end
And I must not stop believing in myself
Am I dreaming will the nightmare just go on
And never end
Somebody out there, says that he's you
Somebody out there, talks like you do
He calls up your number
And you can't get through somebody out there
Somebody out there, talks like you do
He calls up your number
And you can't get through somebody out there
Wish that I could run away and leave it all behind me
Wish I wasn't hurt by all the things they say
If I didn't need to know the simple truth about me
Wouldn't it be easier to walk away
Wish I wasn't hurt by all the things they say
If I didn't need to know the simple truth about me
Wouldn't it be easier to walk away
And I don't need more confusion in my life
No more pain and disillusion in my life
If I'm dreaming will the nightmare just go on
And never end
No more pain and disillusion in my life
If I'm dreaming will the nightmare just go on
And never end
Somebody out there, using your name
Somebody out there, you get the blame
There's doubt and suspicion
It's hard to explain somebody out there
Somebody out there, you get the blame
There's doubt and suspicion
It's hard to explain somebody out there
And I don't need more confusion in my life
No more pain and disillusion in my life
If I'm dreaming will the nightmare just go on
And never end
No more pain and disillusion in my life
If I'm dreaming will the nightmare just go on
And never end
Somebody out there, stolen your base
Somebody out there, parked in your space
You've no reservation, he's taken your place
Somebody out there, wasting your time
Somebody out there, using your dime
Your friends think you're crazy
They're way out of line
Somebody out there, says that he's you
Somebody out there, thinks like you do
You stare at the mirror
You're looking into
Somebody out there
Somebody out there, parked in your space
You've no reservation, he's taken your place
Somebody out there, wasting your time
Somebody out there, using your dime
Your friends think you're crazy
They're way out of line
Somebody out there, says that he's you
Somebody out there, thinks like you do
You stare at the mirror
You're looking into
Somebody out there

"Days Are Numbers"
(The Traveller)
Chris Rainbow - Lead Vocals
The traveler is always leaving town
He never has the time to turn around
And if the road he's taken isn't leading anywhere
He seems to be completely unaware
The traveler is always leaving home
The only kind of life he's ever known
When every moment seems to be
A race against the time
There's always one more mountain left to climb
The only kind of life he's ever known
When every moment seems to be
A race against the time
There's always one more mountain left to climb
Days are numbers
(just 1 day for our ever)
Watch the stars
We can only see so far
Someday, you'll know where you are
Watch the stars
We can only see so far
Someday, you'll know where you are
Remember
Days are numbers
Count the stars
We can only go so far
One day, you'll know where you are
Days are numbers
Count the stars
We can only go so far
One day, you'll know where you are
The traveler awaits the morning tide
He doesn't know what's on the other side
But something deep inside of him
Keeps telling him to go
He hasn't found a reason to say no
He doesn't know what's on the other side
But something deep inside of him
Keeps telling him to go
He hasn't found a reason to say no
The traveler is only passing through
He cannot understand your point of view
Abandoning reality, unsure of what he'll find
The traveler in me is close behind
He cannot understand your point of view
Abandoning reality, unsure of what he'll find
The traveler in me is close behind
Days are numbers
Watch the stars
We can only see so far
Someday, you'll know where you are
Watch the stars
We can only see so far
Someday, you'll know where you are
Remember
Days are numbers
Count the stars
We can only go so far
One day, you'll know where you are
Days are numbers
Count the stars
We can only go so far
One day, you'll know where you are

"Separate Lives"
It's been a long road
We've walked the last mile
We reach the same conclusion
And we stop for a while
We've walked the last mile
We reach the same conclusion
And we stop for a while
Together we know
The way we must go
We're leaving an illusion
That's for us to share
Only for us to share
The way we must go
We're leaving an illusion
That's for us to share
Only for us to share
We live our separate lives
And go our different ways
'Cause we don't see eye to eye
And we can't 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
And go our different ways
'Cause we don't see eye to eye
And we can't 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
We meet on sad occasions
And in happier times
We read the same lines
We meet on sad occasions
And in happier times
A spoken goodbye
And both of us try
To walk away in silence
That's for us to share
Only for us to share
And both of us try
To walk away in silence
That's for us to share
Only for us to share
We live our separate lives
And go our different ways
'Cause we don't see eye to eye
And we can't 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
And go our different ways
'Cause we don't see eye to eye
And we can't 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
And always goodbye
But heaven knows why
I can't erase the memory
That's for us to share
Only for us to share
Only for us to share
Only for us to share
But heaven knows why
I can't erase the memory
That's for us to share
Only for us to share
Only for us to share
Only for us to share
We live our separate lives
And go our different ways
'Cause we don't see eye to eye
And we can't stand face to face

While counting all the days
Till the two of us arrive
In another time and place

And we can't stand face to face

And your thoughts won't fit together
So you sleep light or whatever
And the night goes on forever
The your mind change like the weather
Your in need of Doctor Tarr and Professor Fether
Even clouds seem bright and breezy

See the rat race in a new way
Like you're walkin' up to a new day
It's a wise thing if you're clever
Take a lead from Doctor Tarr and Professor Fether

"To One In Paradise"
(1987 Remix)
If I could see the sky above
And my mind could be set free
As wild white horses reached the shore
I'd stand alone and oversee
And my mind could be set free
As wild white horses reached the shore
I'd stand alone and oversee
And if the bush before me burns
Should I turn my eyes away
And still the voices I can hear
As clear to me as light of day
Should I turn my eyes away
And still the voices I can hear
As clear to me as light of day
I believed in my dreams
Nothing could change my mind
Now I know what they mean
How could I be so blind
Nothing could change my mind
Now I know what they mean
How could I be so blind
Cold sands of time
(Winds that blow as cold as ice
Sounds that come in the night)
Shall hide what is left of me
(Come from Paradise)
(Winds that blow as cold as ice
Sounds that come in the night)
Shall hide what is left of me
(Come from Paradise)
I've been through times when no one cared
(Words that were mine)
I've seen clouds in empty skies
When one kind word meant more to me
(Shall last as a memory)
Than all the love in Paradise
(Words that were mine)
I've seen clouds in empty skies
When one kind word meant more to me
(Shall last as a memory)
Than all the love in Paradise
I believed in my dreams
Nothing could change my mind
Till I found what they mean
Nothing can save me now
Nothing could change my mind
Till I found what they mean
Nothing can save me now

"Call Of The Wild"
Well I've talked to the wind and I've listened to rain
I have climbed to the clouds and I've cried out with pain
This life is for living so come to my side
And open your heart ... to the call of the wild
We are all of one nation, all of one creed
We are all out of nature, all of one seed
We are in this together, man, woman and child
So open your heart to the call of the wild
We talk the same language in different tongues
We're somebody's daughters and somebody's sons
But those who believe we are head of the chain
May wake up to find we are all that remain
There is no need to fear what we don't understand
For we breathe the same air and we walk the same land
The strong and the anxious, the meek and the mild
All dance to the drum... that's the call of the wild
I have climbed to the clouds and I've cried out with pain
This life is for living so come to my side
And open your heart ... to the call of the wild
We are all of one nation, all of one creed
We are all out of nature, all of one seed
We are in this together, man, woman and child
So open your heart to the call of the wild
We talk the same language in different tongues
We're somebody's daughters and somebody's sons
But those who believe we are head of the chain
May wake up to find we are all that remain
There is no need to fear what we don't understand
For we breathe the same air and we walk the same land

Cruise you are making me sing
Now you have taken me under your wing
Cruise, we both know you're the best
How can they say you're like all the rest
Now you have taken me under your wing
Cruise, we both know you're the best
How can they say you're like all the rest
Cruise, we're both travelling so far
Burning out fast like a shooting star
Cruise I feel sure that your song will be sung
And will ring in the ears of everyone

And the love that you radiate will keep us warm

You start ignoring the fears I have felt
'Cause you know you can always make my poor heart melt
And just when I've got you under my skin
You start ignoring the fears I have felt

What would there be left worth fighting about

"Never Comes the Day"
Work away today, work away tomorrow.
Never comes the day for my love and me.
I feel her gently sighing as the evening slips away.
If only you knew what's inside of me now
You wouldn't want to know me somehow,
But
You will love me tonight,
We alone will be alright,
In the end.
Never comes the day for my love and me.
I feel her gently sighing as the evening slips away.
If only you knew what's inside of me now
You wouldn't want to know me somehow,
But
You will love me tonight,
We alone will be alright,
In the end.
Give just a little bit more
Take a little bit less
From each other tonight
Admit what you're feeling
And see what's in front of you,
It's never out of your sight.
You know it's true,
We all know that it's true.
Take a little bit less
From each other tonight
Admit what you're feeling
And see what's in front of you,
It's never out of your sight.
You know it's true,
We all know that it's true.
Work away today, think about tomorrow
Never comes the day for my love and me.

"Walk On The Wild Side"
Holly came from Miami F.L.A.
Hitch-hiked her way across the U.S.A.
Plucked her eyebrows on the way
Shaved her legs and then he was a she
She said, hey babe, take a walk on the wild side,
Said, hey honey, take a walk on the wild side.
Hitch-hiked her way across the U.S.A.
Plucked her eyebrows on the way
Shaved her legs and then he was a she
She said, hey babe, take a walk on the wild side,
Said, hey honey, take a walk on the wild side.
Candy came from out on the island,
In the backroom she was everybody's darling,
But she never lost her head
Even when she was giving head
She sayes, hey baby, take a walk on the wild side
Said, hey babe, take a walk on the wild side
And the colored girls go,
In the backroom she was everybody's darling,

Even when she was giving head

Little Joe never once gave it away
Everybody had to pay and pay
A hustle here and a hustle there
New York City is the place where they said:
Hey babe, take a walk on the wild side

Sugar Plum Fairy came and hit the streets
Lookin' for soul food and a place to eat
Went to the Apollo
You should have seen him go, go, go
They said, hey Sugar, take a walk on the wild side
I said, hey babe, take a walk on the wild side, alright, huh
Lookin' for soul food and a place to eat

Jackie is just speeding away
Thought she was James Dean for a day
Then I guess she had to crash
Valium would have helped that bash

reception of hate,

much clearer than
love of kindness?
perhaps we need more
love on the air.

"I Can't Breathe Anymore"
I can't breathe anymore
Why that is I'm not sure
I've got my feet on the ground
In fact I'm flat on the floor
My direction is lost
I should pause to take stock
It's a new one on me
To even dream that you're free
It's a tale without an end
But the end is there for all to see
And if the end weren't so real
Coming 'round and 'round again on me
I guess it's all about my pride
I want to be there at the kill
But with or without God on my side
I know that I really will
Why that is I'm not sure
I've got my feet on the ground
In fact I'm flat on the floor
My direction is lost
I should pause to take stock
It's a new one on me
To even dream that you're free
It's a tale without an end
But the end is there for all to see
And if the end weren't so real
Coming 'round and 'round again on me
I guess it's all about my pride
I want to be there at the kill
But with or without God on my side
I know that I really will

"So Far Away"
What am I suspended here?
Should I kid myself that I have no fear?
I get no choice, I just have to wait
It may already be too late
Should I kid myself that I have no fear?
I get no choice, I just have to wait
It may already be too late
I don't know what's going on
She is here, but I am gone, I am gone
She is here, but I am gone, I am gone
My love is lying here
She's far away though she looks so near
`Time will tell,'' she says to me
When a warm ?...? is all I need
She's far away though she looks so near
`Time will tell,'' she says to me
When a warm ?...? is all I need
Her peace of mind, her strength of will
It will come, she's sure it will
But how can I put my mind at rest?
I feel I'm coming off second best
It will come, she's sure it will
But how can I put my mind at rest?
I feel I'm coming off second best
And I'm cut with my own life
Is this a dream or is it real life?
Oh, sleep, come on me soon
I can't bear this lonely room
Is this a dream or is it real life?
Oh, sleep, come on me soon
I can't bear this lonely room
Look at that hair lying there
The room is dark, she shows no fear
I'm lying still, my eyes are wide
My heart is pumping, I'm still alive
The room is dark, she shows no fear
I'm lying still, my eyes are wide
My heart is pumping, I'm still alive
I'm still awake against my will
What will it ever take to still this burning in me?
What will it ever take to still this burning in me?

"Murder"
Some of them standing, some were waiting in the line
As if there was something that they thought they might find
Taking some strength from the feelings that always were shared
And in the background, the eyes that just stared
As if there was something that they thought they might find
Taking some strength from the feelings that always were shared
And in the background, the eyes that just stared
What was it brought you out here in the dark?
Was it your only way of making your mark
Did you get rid of all the voices in your head?
Do you now miss them and the things that they said?
Was it your only way of making your mark
Did you get rid of all the voices in your head?
Do you now miss them and the things that they said?
On your own admission you raised up the knife
And you brought it down ending another man's (?) life
When it was done you just threw down the blade
While the red blood spread wider like the anger you made
And you brought it down ending another man's (?) life
When it was done you just threw down the blade
While the red blood spread wider like the anger you made
I don't want this anger that's burning in me
It's something from which it's so hard to be free
But none of the tears that we cry in sorrow or rage
Can make any difference, or turn back the page
It's something from which it's so hard to be free

"Dear Diary" (blog)
Dear diary, what a day it's been
Dear diary, it's been just like a dream
Woke up too late. Wasn't where I should have been
For goodness sake, what's happening to me?
Write lightly, yours truly, dear diary
Dear diary, it's been just like a dream
Woke up too late. Wasn't where I should have been
For goodness sake, what's happening to me?
Write lightly, yours truly, dear diary
It was cold outside my door
So many people by the score
Rushing around as senselessly
They don't notice there's people like me
Write lightly, yours truly, dear diary
So many people by the score
Rushing around as senselessly
They don't notice there's people like me
Write lightly, yours truly, dear diary
They don't know what they're playing
They've got no way of knowing what the game is
Still they carry on doing what they can
Outside me, yours truly, dear diary
They've got no way of knowing what the game is
Still they carry on doing what they can
Outside me, yours truly, dear diary
It's over. Will tomorrow be the same?
I know that they're really not to blame
If they weren't so blind, then surely they'd see
There's a much better way for them to be
Inside me, yours truly, dear diary
I know that they're really not to blame
If they weren't so blind, then surely they'd see
There's a much better way for them to be
Inside me, yours truly, dear diary
Somebody exploded an H-bomb today
But it wasn't anyone I knew

"Where We Start"
Where we start is where we end
We step out sweetly, nothing planned
Along by the river we feed bread to the swans
And then over the footbridge to the woods beyond
We step out sweetly, nothing planned
Along by the river we feed bread to the swans
And then over the footbridge to the woods beyond
We walk ourselves weary, you and I
There's just this moment
There's just this moment
I light a campfire away from the path
We lie in the bluebells, a woodpecker laughs
We lie in the bluebells, a woodpecker laughs
Time passes slowly our hearts entwined
All of the dark times left behind
All of the dark times left behind
The day is done
The sun sinks low
We fold up the blanket, it's time to go
The sun sinks low
We fold up the blanket, it's time to go
We walk ourselves weary, arm in arm
Back through the twilight
Home again
Back through the twilight
Home again
We waltz in the moonlight and the embers glow
So much behind us
Still far to go
So much behind us
Still far to go

"A Pocketful of Stones"
He's sending stones skimming and flying
Circles spinning out his time
Though the earth is dying his head is in the stars
Chances are this spark's a lifetime
Circles spinning out his time
Though the earth is dying his head is in the stars
Chances are this spark's a lifetime
Out of touch he'll live in wonder
Won't lose sleep he'll just pretend
In his world he won't go under
Turns without him until the end
Won't lose sleep he'll just pretend
In his world he won't go under
Turns without him until the end
Rivers run dry but there's no line on his brow
Says he doesn't care who's saved
It's just the dice you roll, the here and now
And he's not guilty or afraid
Says he doesn't care who's saved
It's just the dice you roll, the here and now
And he's not guilty or afraid
One day he'll slip away
Cool water flowing all around
In the river and on the ground
Leave a pocketful of stones and not believe in other lives
Cool water flowing all around
In the river and on the ground
Leave a pocketful of stones and not believe in other lives
Until then he'll live in wonder
He won't fight or comprehend
In his world he won't go under
Turns without him until the end
He won't fight or comprehend
In his world he won't go under
Turns without him until the end

"All Lovers Are Deranged"
It takes a fool to phone a fool
When both have said it all
We make the rule, bemoan the rule
That neither one should call
But love that was
Is love that is
Demands to always be unchanged
But then all lovers are deranged.
When both have said it all
We make the rule, bemoan the rule
That neither one should call
But love that was
Is love that is
Demands to always be unchanged
But then all lovers are deranged.
We walk away with memories
And clutch them to our hearts
We're disembodied entities
We move in fits and starts
For burning wine
Intoxicates,
And takes all caution in its flames
All lovers are deranged.
And clutch them to our hearts
We're disembodied entities
We move in fits and starts
For burning wine
Intoxicates,
And takes all caution in its flames
All lovers are deranged.
You know that you don't really fall in love
Unles you're seventeen
The break of day will make your spirits fly
But you can't know what it means
Unless you're seventeen.
Unles you're seventeen
The break of day will make your spirits fly
But you can't know what it means
Unless you're seventeen.
It takes a fight to start a fight
And differences remain
We have the right to think we're right
We're addicts feigning shame
For love recalled
Is love reborn
We're determined to relive the pain
But then lovers are deranged.
And differences remain

"You Know I'm Right"
You can scream and shout with all your might
Dig in your heels and hold on tight
Either you are wrong or I am right
Dig in your heels and hold on tight
Either you are wrong or I am right
You speak the lines you've overheard
The ring of truth in every word
You know you're right and that's absurd
The ring of truth in every word
You know you're right and that's absurd
We really seem to have a problem here
But it is you or me
Whatever I have going through my mind
You always have to disagree
It's just a matter of opinions
It's not a simple fact
Why don't you try to see the other side
Don't turn your back
But it is you or me
Whatever I have going through my mind
You always have to disagree
It's just a matter of opinions
It's not a simple fact
Why don't you try to see the other side
Don't turn your back
Now we survey this silent battleground
Recriminations all around
And still no compromise is found
Recriminations all around
And still no compromise is found
Now we really have a problem
And it won't just disappear
And all the friends we thought we could rely on
Just want to whisper in my ear
And it won't just disappear
And all the friends we thought we could rely on
Just want to whisper in my ear
"It's just a matter of opinions
You know you keep both in sight
Why should you bother with the other side
When you know yours is right."
You know you keep both in sight

"Love On the Air"
Love on the air
I keep transmitting but reception is hazy
I don't get an answer
Keep sending it faster
Always knew it was crazy
To put my love on the air.
I keep transmitting but reception is hazy
I don't get an answer
Keep sending it faster
Always knew it was crazy
To put my love on the air.
No one will hurt me again
No one will cause me to lie
No one will control me by pain
No one will cause me to cry
I was looking for love
In wandering eyes
Like a ship trying to fix on a beacon
I learned how to sigh
On the ribbon and wires
It's a habit that's so hard to weaken
No one will cause me to lie
No one will control me by pain
No one will cause me to cry
I was looking for love
In wandering eyes
Like a ship trying to fix on a beacon
I learned how to sigh
On the ribbon and wires
It's a habit that's so hard to weaken
No one will ever manipulate
Make me promise to do or die
No one can make me hesitate
What can I lose if they try
I was looking for love
Like the very first time
Didn't realise love never left me
Contradicted - conspired
I connived and designed
Nothing on earth could arrest me.

Reception is hazy
When you put your love on the air
Always knew it was crazy
To put my love on the air
But I only communicate
When I put my love on the air
You don't have to consummate
Love on the air
When you put your love on the air
Always knew it was crazy

But I only communicate
When I put my love on the air
You don't have to consummate

"Cry From the Street"
Black shadows dance beyond the neon glow
There's rumors in your head that just won't let go
They hold on so tight, it makes your blood run cold
?Nailed as the night? trying to save your soul
There's rumors in your head that just won't let go
They hold on so tight, it makes your blood run cold
?Nailed as the night? trying to save your soul
Don't ?...? pray, it's just a cry from the street
It's ?...? believe that what they keep they own
So you've lost someone that you thought you owned
You know it's a crime but what can you do?
It's ?...? believe that what they keep they own
So you've lost someone that you thought you owned
You know it's a crime but what can you do?
That's the price you pay with each turn of the screw
But don't pay no mind, it's just a cry from the street
But don't pay no mind, it's just a cry from the street
You really love the night, living on your love
It's such a crying shame that things are so rough
It's the sight of them screaming ?...? blinds you ?...?
I guess the chances are you wish you'd stayed asleep
It's such a crying shame that things are so rough
It's the sight of them screaming ?...? blinds you ?...?
I guess the chances are you wish you'd stayed asleep
But don't ?...? pray, it's just a cry from the street

"Out of the Blue"
Out of the blue on the wings of a dove
A messenger comes, with the beating of drums
It's not a message of love
A messenger comes, with the beating of drums
It's not a message of love
Our children are born, and we keep them warm
They must have the right, to live in the light
To be safe from the storm
They must have the right, to live in the light
To be safe from the storm
Out of the blue, with wings on his heels
A messenger comes, bearing regrets
For the time that he steals
A messenger comes, bearing regrets
For the time that he steals
But steal it he will, my children's and mine
Against our desires, against all our needs
Our blood spilled like wine
Against our desires, against all our needs
Our blood spilled like wine
Over and over we call, no one hears
And further and further and further we fall
And though we pray that we soon will awake
It is clear, that it's no dream at all
Our lives are at stake
And further and further and further we fall
And though we pray that we soon will awake
It is clear, that it's no dream at all
Our lives are at stake
I cannot believe, nor even pretend
That the thunder I hear, will just disappear
And the nightmare will end
That the thunder I hear, will just disappear
And the nightmare will end
So hold back the fire, because this music is true
When all's said and done, the ending will come
From out of the blue
When all's said and done, the ending will come
From out of the blue

"Short And Sweet"
You ask what is the quality of life?
Seeking to justify the part you play
And hide, fearing it incomplete, to try
To make it any more or less than short and sweet
Seeking to justify the part you play
And hide, fearing it incomplete, to try
To make it any more or less than short and sweet
But short, short is from you to me, as close
As we are wont to try to make it be
We're caught watching the dark in the sky, who knows?
Helpless as time itself to hold the time of day
As we are wont to try to make it be
We're caught watching the dark in the sky, who knows?
Helpless as time itself to hold the time of day
And you, you are a fantasy, a view
From where you'd like to think the world should see
Be true and you will likely find a few
Building a vision new and justice to our time
From where you'd like to think the world should see
Be true and you will likely find a few
Building a vision new and justice to our time
And we, we, the immoral men, we dare
Naked and fearless in the elements
And free, carefree of tempting fate, aware
And holding off the moral nightmare at the gates
Naked and fearless in the elements
And free, carefree of tempting fate, aware
And holding off the moral nightmare at the gates
And sweet, sweet as a mountain stream, we'll look
Toward a new day breaking in the east
We'll meet as every future dream unfolds
And surely quality that is the very least
Toward a new day breaking in the east
We'll meet as every future dream unfolds
And surely quality that is the very least

"No Way"
There's no way I'm going to let go
There's no way, because it's my show
I'm hanging on for a little while
I won't go down easy, that's not my style
There's no way, because it's my show
I'm hanging on for a little while
I won't go down easy, that's not my style
I'm all tied up, tied up in a knot
And I can't decide just what it is I've got
Did I get out of touch? Did I lose my way?
I've not forgot, no, not a single day
And I can't decide just what it is I've got
Did I get out of touch? Did I lose my way?
I've not forgot, no, not a single day
Now you might believe I'm not a happy man
Putting myself apart from the common clan
Well, the boat we're sailing, we have a leak or two
But I know it's sound, like me and you
Putting myself apart from the common clan
Well, the boat we're sailing, we have a leak or two
But I know it's sound, like me and you

"Near the End"
And when you fell you're near the end
Will you just turn it over and start again?
Is there a stirring in your heart
As the time comes when we will have to part?
Will you just turn it over and start again?
Is there a stirring in your heart
As the time comes when we will have to part?
And when you feel you're near the end
And there's a stranger where once was a friend
And you are left without a word
Only the whispers that you've overheard
And there's a stranger where once was a friend
And you are left without a word
Only the whispers that you've overheard
Standing in silence, holding my breath
Disconnected and dry
And though I'm certain that there's nothing left
To hold on to, to give or to try
Some things never change, no don't ever change
And I'm feeling the cold
Thinking that we're getting older and wiser
When we're just getting old
Disconnected and dry
And though I'm certain that there's nothing left
To hold on to, to give or to try
Some things never change, no don't ever change
And I'm feeling the cold
Thinking that we're getting older and wiser
When we're just getting old
And when you feel you're near the end
And what once burned so bright is growing dim?
And when you see what's been achieved
Is there a feeling that you've been deceived?
And what once burned so bright is growing dim?

change as we
age in the reverse
of logic, while
not much happened
in a relative way.
That's feelings
becoming our realty.

"This Is The Moment"
This is the moment
This is the day
This is the moment
When I know I'm on my way
This is the day
This is the moment
When I know I'm on my way
Every endeavor
I have made ever
Is coming into play
Is here and now today
I have made ever
Is coming into play
Is here and now today
This is the moment
This is the time
When the momentum
And the moment are in rhyme
This is the time
When the momentum
And the moment are in rhyme
Give me this moment
This momentous moment
I'll gather up my past
And make some sense at last
This momentous moment
I'll gather up my past
And make some sense at last
This is the moment
When all I've done
All of the dreaming, scheming and screaming
Becomes one
When all I've done
All of the dreaming, scheming and screaming
Becomes one
This is the day
Just see it shine
When all I've lived for
Becomes mine
Just see it shine
When all I've lived for
Becomes mine
This is the moment
This is the hour
When I can open up tomorrow
Like a flower
This is the hour
When I can open up tomorrow
Like a flower
And put my hand to
Everything I planned to
Fulfill my grand design
See all my stars align
Everything I planned to
Fulfill my grand design
See all my stars align
This is the moment
My final test
Destiny beckoned I never reckoned
Second best
My final test
Destiny beckoned I never reckoned
Second best
I won't look down
I must not fall
This is the moment
The sweetest moment of them all
I must not fall
This is the moment
The sweetest moment of them all
This is the moment
Damn all the odds
This day or never
I'll sit forever with the Gods
Damn all the odds
This day or never
I'll sit forever with the Gods
When I look back
I will recall
Moment for moment, this was the moment
The greatest moment of them all
I will recall
Moment for moment, this was the moment
The greatest moment of them all

The time and yet
You waste it still
So it slips through your hands
Like grains of sand
You watch it go

Shameless sea
Aimlessly so blue
Midnight-moon shines for you
Aimlessly so blue
Midnight-moon shines for you
Still, marooned
Silence drifting through
Nowhere to choose
Just blue...
Silence drifting through
Nowhere to choose
Just blue...
Ceaselessly
Star-crossed you and me
Save our souls
We'll be forever blue
Star-crossed you and me
Save our souls
We'll be forever blue
Waves roll
Lift us in blue
Drift us
Seep right through
And colour us blue
Lift us in blue
Drift us
Seep right through
And colour us blue
Wait for me
Shameless you, the sea
Soon, the Blue(s) (subsume)

"Lean On Me (Tonight)"
(Live "Red Rocks" Version)
Lean on me
I'll be there
Whenever you need someone
To share in every prayer
In every dream
You've left somewhere
'Till tomorrow
Will be just like it was when we were young
'Cause tonight
I'm gonna take you where
I've never taken you before
I'll be there
Whenever you need someone
To share in every prayer
In every dream
You've left somewhere
'Till tomorrow
Will be just like it was when we were young
'Cause tonight
I'm gonna take you where
I've never taken you before
Lean on me
I'm every where
Where ever you look I'll be
Forever yours
The northern lights
The southern cross
I'll give to you
'Till tomorrow
Will be just like it was when we were young
'Cause tonight
I'm gonna take you where
I've never taken you before
I'm every where
Where ever you look I'll be
Forever yours
The northern lights
The southern cross
I'll give to you
'Till tomorrow
Will be just like it was when we were young
'Cause tonight
I'm gonna take you where
I've never taken you before
If you're lonely
You know where you can find me
You know there's no escape when you are on your own
And if you're worried
And you can see your world slip through your fingers
I'll reach out for you in my heart
There's no more dancing in the dark
You know where you can find me
You know there's no escape when you are on your own
And if you're worried
And you can see your world slip through your fingers
I'll reach out for you in my heart
There's no more dancing in the dark
You're not alone
Tomorrow
Will be just like it was when we were young
'Cause tonight
I'm gonna take you where
I've never taken you before
Tomorrow
Will be just like it was when we were young
'Cause tonight
I'm gonna take you where

"Say It With Love"
Moody Blues
I've been thinking
The way people do
'Bout the things that matter
To me and you
I've decided
To do what I can
And to find the kind of man
I really am
I can see the world from here
And it sometimes makes me
Want to disappear
Back to nature
That's where we belong
And with just one truth I've found
You can't go wrong
Wherever you go
Whatever you do
Whatever you say
Say, say, say
Say it with love.
I remember
A long time ago
When I heard those guitars
That I worship so
I was captured
I wanted to stay
And to hear that kind of music
Everyday
Heard the songs
Around the world
Saw the smiling faces
On the boys and girls
I was destined
To play come what may
And there's just one thing
I knew I had to say
Wherever you go
Whatever you do
Whatever you say
Say, say, say
Say it with love.
Underneath
A sea of doubt
There's a million voices shouting
Let me out, let me out
When we go
We never return
'Cos there's just one lesson
That we got to learn
Wherever you go
Whatever you do
Whatever you say
Say, say, say
Say it with love
Say it with love
Say it with love
Say it with love
Say it with love.

"The Thin Ice"
Momma loves her baby
And daddy loves you too.
And the sea may look warm to you babe
And the sky may look blue
Ooooh baby
Ooooh baby blue
Oooooh babe.
And daddy loves you too.
And the sea may look warm to you babe
And the sky may look blue
Ooooh baby
Ooooh baby blue
Oooooh babe.
If you should go skating
On the thin ice of modern life
Dragging behind you the silent reproach
Of a million tear-stained eyes
Don't be surprised when a crack in the ice
Appears under your feet
You slip out of your depth and out of your mind
With your fear flowing out behind you
As you claw the thin ice
On the thin ice of modern life
Dragging behind you the silent reproach
Of a million tear-stained eyes
Don't be surprised when a crack in the ice
Appears under your feet
You slip out of your depth and out of your mind
With your fear flowing out behind you
As you claw the thin ice

"Forever Autumn "
Moody Blues
(Dark Autumn Dub Tom Frederikse / Gaëtan Schurrer Remix)
For three days I fought my way along roads packed with refugees,
The homeless, burdened with boxes and bundles containing their valuables.
All that was of value to me was in London.
By the time I reached their little red brick house, Carrie and her father were gone.

Forever Autumn
Journalist
The summer sun is fading as the year grows old,
And darker days are drawing near,
The winter winds will be much colder,
Now you're not here.
The summer sun is fading as the year grows old,
And darker days are drawing near,
The winter winds will be much colder,
Now you're not here.
I watch the birds fly south across the autumn sky
And one by one they disappear,
I wish that I was flying with them
Now you're not here.
Like the sun through the trees you came to love me,
Like a leaf on a breeze you blew away...
And one by one they disappear,
I wish that I was flying with them
Now you're not here.
Like the sun through the trees you came to love me,
Like a leaf on a breeze you blew away...
Through autumn's golden gown we used to kick our way,
You always loved this time of year
Those fallen leaves lie undisturbed now
'Cause you're not here
'Cause you're not here
'Cause you're not here
You always loved this time of year
Those fallen leaves lie undisturbed now
'Cause you're not here
'Cause you're not here
'Cause you're not here
Fire suddenly leapt from house to house.
The population panicked and ran, and I was swept along with them, aimless and lost without Carrie. Finally, I headed eastward for the ocean and my only hope of survival: a boat out of England.

A gentle rain falls softly on my weary eyes
As if to hide a lonely tear
My life will be forever autumn,
'Cause you're not here
'Cause you're not here

As if to hide a lonely tear
My life will be forever autumn,
'Cause you're not here

As I hastened through Covent Garden, Blackfriars and Billingsgate,
More and more people joined the painful exodus.
Sad, weary women, their children stumbling in the street with tears,
Their men bitter and angry, the rich rubbing shoulders with beggars and outcasts.
More and more people joined the painful exodus.
Sad, weary women, their children stumbling in the street with tears,
Their men bitter and angry, the rich rubbing shoulders with beggars and outcasts.
Dogs snarled and whined, the horse's bits were covered with foam,
And here and there were wounded soldiers, as helpless as the rest.
We saw tripods wading up the Thames,
Cutting through bridges as though they were paper.
Waterloo bridge, Westminster bridge, one appeared above Big Ben.

Never before in the history of the world,
Had such a mass of human beings moved and suffered together.
This was no disciplined march, it was a stampede,
Without order and without a goal, six million people unarmed and unprovisioned driving headlong.
Had such a mass of human beings moved and suffered together.
This was no disciplined march, it was a stampede,
Without order and without a goal, six million people unarmed and unprovisioned driving headlong.
It was the beginning of the rout of civilization, of the massacre of mankind.
A vast crowd buffeted me towards the already packed steamer.
I looked up enviously at those safely on board... straight into the eyes of my beloved Carrie.
At sight of me she began to fight her way along the packed deck to the gangplank.
At that very moment, it was raised,
And I caught a last glimpse of her despairing face as the crowd swept me away from her.

"Highway"
It's a long, long highway
Will this road of life lead me to someone
Who sees the world in a grain of sand
Who holds the future in the palm of their hand, aaah
Will this road of life lead me to someone
Who sees the world in a grain of sand
Who holds the future in the palm of their hand, aaah
No one else can see things like I do
It's a long, long highway
Looking for a home where the seed was sown
And the harvest was young
It's a long, long highway
Looking for a home where the seed was sown
And the harvest was young
Will this road of life lead me to someone, someone
The rays of sun and the light of dawn
My inspriation since the day I was born, aaah
No one else can see things like I do
The rays of sun and the light of dawn
My inspriation since the day I was born, aaah
No one else can see things like I do
It's a long, long highway
But don't make the start on an empty heart
When you think you've begun
Let the road of life lead you to someone, someone
But don't make the start on an empty heart
When you think you've begun
Let the road of life lead you to someone, someone
Nothing is serious to me
I live for what will be (listen to me)
I can always be a dreamer
So trust your heart
I live for what will be (listen to me)
I can always be a dreamer
So trust your heart
Don't fall apart
You'll see
At your journey's end
You will find a friend in me
You'll see
At your journey's end
You will find a friend in me
It's a long, long highway
Will this road of life lead me to someone
You touched the dream that was in your eyes
You took so long only to realize oooh
Will this road of life lead me to someone
You touched the dream that was in your eyes
You took so long only to realize oooh
No one else can love you like I do
It's a long, long highway
Looking for a home where the seed was sown
And my harvest was young
It's a long, long highway
Looking for a home where the seed was sown
And my harvest was young
Will this road of life lead me to someone
It's a long, long highway
But don't make a start
On an empty heart
It's a long, long highway
But don't make a start
On an empty heart
It's a long, long highway
Let this road of life lead you to someone, someone
Let this road of life lead you to someone, someone

"Running Water"
Time hurries on, look and it's gone
The changing of the autumn tide
The hopes that live, the dreams that die
If I could have you by my side, I'd give it all away
The changing of the autumn tide
The hopes that live, the dreams that die
If I could have you by my side, I'd give it all away
You, you and I, we must hold on, we must try
To reach beyond that far off cloud
Along the road we're travellin' now
If I could only show you how, I need you there with me
To reach beyond that far off cloud
Along the road we're travellin' now
If I could only show you how, I need you there with me
Oh, running water, don't care what people say
We live to love another day
Oh, running water, don't throw your love away
We live to love another day
We live to love another day
Oh, running water, don't throw your love away
We live to love another day
Time hurries on, turn around and it's gone
If only we could hold that dream
If only life was what it seemed
I know my darling what you mean, I've seen it slip away
If only we could hold that dream
If only life was what it seemed
I know my darling what you mean, I've seen it slip away
Oh, running water, don't care what people say
We live to love another day
Oh, running water, don't throw your love away
We live to love another day
We live to love another day
Oh, running water, don't throw your love away

Moody Blues
Heart and soul took control
Took control of me
Paid my dues, spread the news
Hands across the sea
Heart and soul took control
Took control of me
Paid my dues, spread the news
Hands across the sea
Put me down, turned me round
Turned me 'round to see
Marble halls, open doors
Someone found the key
Turned me 'round to see
Marble halls, open doors
Someone found the key
And it's only what you do
That keeps coming back on you
And it's only what you say
That can give yourself away
That keeps coming back on you
And it's only what you say
That can give yourself away
Underground sight and sound
Human symphony
Heard the voice, had no choice
Needed to be free
Human symphony
Heard the voice, had no choice
Needed to be free
Fly me high, touch the sky
Left the earth below
Heard the line, saw the sign
Knew which way to go
Left the earth below
Heard the line, saw the sign
Knew which way to go

Than to prove it can't be done
And it's easier to stay
Than to turn around and run
Than to prove it can't be done

It's a blue world
It takes somebody to help somebody
Oh, it's a blue world
It's a new world
It takes somebody to help somebody

"Gemini Dream"
Long time no see
Short time for you and me
So fine, so good
We're on the road
Like you knew we would
Short time for you and me
So fine, so good
We're on the road
Like you knew we would
First night, so long
A state of mind
What can go wrong
We're here, the time is right
To rock 'n' roll
Right through the night
A state of mind
What can go wrong
We're here, the time is right
To rock 'n' roll
Right through the night
Make it work out
Make it work
Make it work out
Make it work out
For each other tonight
(by letting it work out)
Make it work
Make it work out
Make it work out
For each other tonight
(by letting it work out)
Stage fright, candle light
You can't let go
Tonight's the night
Came back for you
Glad to see
That you came too
You can't let go
Tonight's the night
Came back for you
Glad to see
That you came too
There's a place a Gemini dream
There's no escaping from the love we have seen
So come with me, turn night today
You gonna wake up
You know you gonna wake up in a Gemini dream
There's no escaping from the love we have seen
So come with me, turn night today
You gonna wake up
You know you gonna wake up in a Gemini dream
Turned round to see
Where we've been
And what we believe
In life, love
Take a chance
See it through
You'll be glad
That you came too
Where we've been
And what we believe
In life, love
Take a chance
See it through
You'll be glad
That you came too
There's a place a Gemini dream
There's no escaping from the love we have seen
So come with me, turn night to day
You gonna wake up
You know you gonna wake up in a Gemini dream
There's no escaping from the love we have seen
So come with me, turn night to day

Right through the night
The lights go up
For you and me
We're here
The time is right
To rock 'n' roll
Right through the night
Living it
Believing it
Wanting it
Make it work out
Make it work
Make it work out
Make it work out
For each other tonight
Believing it
Wanting it
Make it work out
Make it work
Make it work out
Make it work out
For each other tonight
Long time no see
Short time for you and me
So fine so far so good
We're on the road
Like you knew we would
Short time for you and me
So fine so far so good
We're on the road
Like you knew we would

Cognitive Dissonance
is when we try to
equate our beliefs /
rhetoric, hopes, etc.
with the way it is.

Reality Is Far
from sad even though
parts are but that's the
way it Must be 1 begets
the other by definition.

we can be 'who'
we need to, to
feel good or try
to find who / we
are (our) doing?
& do be better.
