Did you see your friend crying from his eyes today? Did you see him run through the streets and far away? (Ah) Did you see him run, did you see him fall? (Ah, ah, ah) Did his life flash by at the bedroom door? (Ah, ah) Did you hear the news it came across the air today? Someone has been found on the rocks down in the bay (ah) Did you see him hide, did you see him crawl? (Ah, ah, ah) Does his life mean more than it did before? (Ah, ah) Did you see that man running through the streets today? Did you catch his face, was it 10538? (Ah)
Someone is waiting, lurking in the trees The spirit of her is walking back to me Ah, look at me now feeling emotion Ah, look at me now The King of the castle brought her to her knees Gave the Salvation Army girl a squeeze Ah, look at me now feeling emotion Ah, look at me now Look at me now Now she's a sallow face Scattering her lace - on dewy ground Ah, I keep searching my head Now it's spinning around Lifting her head, her countenance redeemed Re-acted the murder by the silver stream Ah, look at me now displaying emotion Ah, look at me now Look at me now so cold and yet so brave Weave me some wings to take me to her grave Ah, look at me now feeling emotion Ah, look at me now Look at me now
Who thanked the Lord for the clothes That she wore and mended Nellie with the big old fashioned eyes Who won the heart of a crowd tore apart, took a bow Nellie there's a different world backstage I see the flood lights burning I hear the band play on Now Nellie takes her bow She said she really could not stay, Nellie She had a brand new play to play And so she paints her face and smiles And she'll be someone else in a while I see the flood lights burning I hear the band play on Now Nellie takes her bow Just a lonely girl Who could not face a broken world And so she acts out all her dreams And wishes that's how it had been But when the audience is near It seems as though she doesn't even care Nellie just sent me a line To tell me she was doing fine She got the lead on Broadway And really digging her today So she turns the final page Living someone's life upon the stage I see the flood lights burning I hear the band play on Now Nellie takes her bow
Hello, Mr. Radio, you friendly station So glad of your company, your morning music. My wife she ran away, she left our home And though you're here with me, I'm on my own. Hello, Mr. Radio, you friendly speaker You played my request today, request to see her. Your voice comes riding home across the air You travel 'round the world, but still you're here. I heard on the news, today the world is no good But if she returns today, mine could be so good. I look into the sky, your waves rush by The weatherman has lied, it makes me cry. Hello, Mr. Radio, do I disturb you? Sometimes I forget my place, I seem to know you. I miss you when you close, you'll never know And when your programs go, I'm on my own.

Queen of the hours lies waiting for the wind to blow away the veil of time Slowly now the threads of age are starting to unwind Queen of the hours Along, along, along the path of time, of time She is still The clock shall tell the tale When all is well, is well Black was the night that came in from the East and caused the land to sleep Riding on a storm, it carved a message in Isabella Creek Queen of the hours Along, along, along the path of time, of time She is still The clock shall tell the tale When all is well, is well Dawn is the death wish night has passed away, it left the sacred flower Opened up the grave and bowed its life unto the queen of hours Queen of the hours Along, along, along the path of time, of time She is still The clock shall tell the tale When all is well, is well
Whisper in the night Over silent evening air Angel's gown shines white All at once you're glad she's there Daughter of your dream Shine a guiding light for me For I'll be here 'til light Whisper in the night 'Til she has forgiven me Night turns into gold So the tide may turn today Though God gave the world It's not mine to throw away Daughter of your dream Shine a guiding light for me For I'll be here 'til light Whisper in the night 'Til she has forgiven me La-dah-dah, dah Whisper in the night 'Til she has forgiven me Help to face what the day may bring Angels sing You were sent to make the night be kind What will I find? Angels sing Snowflake bird she comes Taking grey clouds from your door Face the midnight sun You have something to live for Daughter of your dream Shine a guiding light for me For I'll be here 'til light Whisper in the night 'Til she has forgiven me La-dah-dah, dah Whisper in the night 'Til she has forgiven me
Down, down, you can see them all Rising gaily to the top Keep on rising babe, you know you got a long drop You better cling 'cos it's the done thing Down, down, at the policemans ball They're all dancing in a line Keep on grunting boys, you know you're doing fine Come quickly I've been strangled Down, down, at the military They're all marching round and round Keep them boots shined and that still upper lip down Ablution, revolution Down, down, at the launching pad Giant phallus stands erect Ten thousand tons of waste throb then eject Look out space, we're gonna change our place Down, down, in old England town There was air and now there's smoke Let's build more cars and drive away before we choke Suddenly it's always night time Down, down, at that nice trade fair All the money gone astray Let's inflate this price and float away Just you and me and everyone
My-my Kuiama, she came in the morning She smiled but the tears on her little face Showed the pain that had been in that far-off place So sad, treated so bad My-my Kuiama, don't break your heart tryin' To say how your ma and your pa' passed away And they left you to wander the ruin and decay Real mean, that bullet machine See here Kuiama, now ten thousand miles Is a long, long way and you're here today And you won't go back so you might say Hello, how do you do? (do) Kuia, stop your cryin', there's no bombs a-fallin' No horsemen in the night a-ridin' through your dreams And tearing at your life (life) Baby goodnight (night) No more silver rain will hit your ground And no more guns will sound And no more life be drowned No more trenches where the soldiers lie And no more people die Beneath that big black sky (sky) Wake up Kuiama, I got somethin' to tell you It's just that I mean, well, that is to say That I'm trying to explain but I'll start again For you, I must be true Kuia, in this country, they got rules with no reason They teach you to kill and they send you away With your gun in your hand, you pick up your pay So cool, that no mercy tool Kuia, please believe me? I just couldn't help myself I wanted to run but they gave me a gun And they told me the duty I owed to my Fatherland I made my stand Kuia, I just shot them, I just blew their heads open And I heard them scream in their agony Kuiama, she waits there for me True blue, you saw it through
It's all making me ready It's all doing what you gotta do I know "A" I see my life come shine Golden sunrise Tragic daydream I am so afraid King of the Universe I am King, King of the Earth King of the Universe I am King, King of the Sky King of the Universe I am King, King of the Sky
Little darlin' of my life You keep movin' 'cross my mind You gave me a sunny day Now it looks as if I'll pay Why do they say - Bluebird is dead? I can still see her, touch her, my Bluebird The love that she gave, I don't believe No, no, I don't believe Bluebird came to me tonight Waiting patiently for light She said, "I know that you will grieve But my darlin', I must leave" Why do they say - Bluebird is dead? I can still see her, touch her, my Bluebird The love that she gave, I don't believe No, no, I don't believe Bluebird say it is not so Please I cannot hear you speak It must be that you're so tired In the darkness of the night Why do they say - Bluebird is dead?

Susan spent the weekend at her stately home Crying at the lions on the garden wall And then she'd sigh, sneak away Look at her style, free the day Oh, no, not me, I wouldn't Oh, no, not me, I couldn't That's all she says, her money and her place They just don't mean a fucking thing Susan met the lords and dukes of everywhere Smiling, kissing, wishing that they'd go to hell And then she'd laugh, wonder why Take a nap, sit and cry Oh, no, not me, I wouldn't Oh, no, not me, I couldn't That's all she says, her money and her place They just don't mean a fucking thing

Saviour of the Night came slowly on the silent river And the Lord of Life came following, his sins to be forgiven While the world sat back and laughed away the hours 'Til the dawning of the daybreak I heard them laugh I heard them cry I saw them praying to the sky I heard the wind howl in the trees Down there on bended knee, and see the light But I know I must be dreaming Feel the soul, quiet emotion Sail on by, helpless devotion If that's how it feels, it better be real Take care of your woman or you'll never, ever see the light Take heed of the warnin' or you know it's gonna be too late Too late It's too late, it's too late It's too late, it's too late Here, there, everywhere They keep on movin' without fear They look me up, they look me down They press my body to the ground but I see the light See the light, it's comin' shinin' And on a summer's day, when thoughts are driftin' far away And life is good and real to see My world is saved and I am free But in the night Still I know I must be dreaming, yeah Feel the soul, quiet emotion Sail on by, helpless devotion If that's how it feels, it better be real Take care of your woman or you'll never, ever see the light Take heed of the warnin' or you know it's gonna be too late Too late It's too late, it's too late It's too late, it's too late It's too late, it's too late Too late
The dreamer, the unwoken fool In dreams, no pain will kiss the brow The love of ages fills the head The days that linger there in prey of emptiness, of burned-out dreams The minutes calling through the years The universal dreamer rises up above his earthly burden Journey to the dead of night High on a hill in Eldorado...
Midnight on the water I saw the ocean's daughter Walking on a wave, she came Staring as she called my name And I can't get it out of my head No, I can't get it out of my head Now my old world is gone for dead 'Cause I can't get it out of my head Breakdown on the shoreline Can't move, it's an ebb tide Morning don't get here tonight Searching for her silver light And I can't get it out of my head No, I can't get it out of my head Now my old world is gone for dead 'Cause I can't get it out of my head, no-no Bank job in the city Robin Hood and William Tell and Ivanhoe and Lancelot They don't envy me, yeah Sitting 'til the sun goes down In dreams, the world keeps going 'round and 'round And I can't get it out of my head No, I can't get it out of my head Now my old world is gone for dead 'Cause I can't get it out of my head, no, no Oh, I can't get it out of my head No, I can't get it out of my head Now my old world is gone for dead 'Cause I can't get it out of my head, no, no, no, no
Hey Boy Blue, can't you hear all the noise. It's for you, all the town's waiting there. Let us go, there's a show like you ain't seen before Welcome home, where you been all these years, Look around, all the crowd is in tears, It's so good to see you in the streets of your town. Hey Boy Blue is back. Hey Boy Blue is back. Hey Boy Blue is back. Hey Boy Blue is back. Hey Boy Blue is back. Hey Boy Blue is back. I've seen bold knights, dropping down like flies, I've seen kings, rolling in the mire, I've seen God, point the finger of doom to our foes. I have fought in the holiest wars, I have smashed, some of the holiest jaws I've been jailed, been impaled, and been dragged through the world. One thing, I have learned through these years, Is that no man, should be stricken with fear It should be that he walks with no care in the world. So my friends, who are gathered here today, Hear this clear, for I'll not further say, That no man, shall cause me to take up arms again. Hey Boy Blue is back. Hey Boy Blue is back. Hey Boy Blue is back. Hey Boy Blue is back. Hey Boy Blue is back. Hey Boy Blue is back.

Me, I'm just a poor boy from across the far South lands And I've traveled many days to reach this place, to make my stand Oh, and I fell in with a merry band and drank away the hours Rollin' on, I've been rollin' on And my head is high from the battle won Laid down my life for the Greenwood The city boys and the country boys, they come from miles around To defy their King and country, save the poor folks from the hands Of the thieving dukes and abbots and the gentry of the land Rollin' on, I've been rollin' on And my head is high from the battle won Laid down my life for the Greenwood Sweet maid Marion, don't you do me no wrong Stay on the right side, the Greenwood is your home All the dancing girls and the open fires And the wine that flows like water Rollin' on, I've been rollin' on And my head is high from the battle won Laid down my life for the Greenwood
Here it comes, another lonely day, playing the game I'll 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 I'll not be back, Eldorado I will be free, yeah Of the world, Eldorado "Say goodbye", the city's heroes sing, bird on the wing Feel, feel so free, though the life upon the rooftop haze All the cheating and the broken days So through it all I see, there's nothing left for me So I will stay I'll not be back, Eldorado I will be free, yeah Of the world, Eldorado Sitting here on top of everywhere, what do I care?

You made a fool of me But them broken dreams have got to end Hey woman, you got the blues 'Cause you ain't got no one else to use There's an open road that leads nowhere So just make some miles between here and there There's a hole in my head where the rain comes in You took my body and played to win Ha, ha, woman, it's a cryin' shame But you ain't got nobody else to blame Evil woman Evil woman Evil woman Evil woman Rolled in from another town Hit some gold, too hot to settle down But a fool and his money soon go separate ways You found a fool lyin' in a daze Ha, ha woman, what you gonna do?

I remember somewhere in the rain, The faces of the passers-by, staring faces, broken blinds, I recall the situation clearly standing in a crowded car, I can feel the need in me. Hold on, nightrider baby, hold on you're a nightrider Riding the night, searching for what is gone, Never reaching the end, so you must travel on. I still see that vision of delight, While cruising on the black of night, But she keeps a step ahead Looking out the corner of her world, nobody ever knows a girl, Who once lived along this way. Hold on, nightrider baby, hold on you're a nightrider Riding the night, searching for what is gone, Never reaching the end, so you must travel on. Desolation degradation row, Go on don't let the feeling show, She's a ten a penny dream, Faces with no name no address, keep staring in on my distress But she kills me with her smile. Hold on, nightrider baby, hold on you're a nightrider Riding the night, searching for what is gone, Never reaching the end, so you must travel on.

I was standin' in the jungle, I was feeling alright
I was wanderin' in the darkness in the middle of the night
The moon began to shine, I saw a clearing ahead
But what's that goin' on? I think I'm out of my head
(Chooka-chooka, hoo la ley)
(Looka-looka, koo la ley)
A hundred animals were gathered 'round this night
And they were singin' out a lovely song under the pale moonlight
I stood and stared for quite a while
Then a lion sang to me and smiled
"Come join us if you so desire"
They sang
(Chooka-chooka, hoo la ley)
That's what they sang
(Looka-looka, koo la ley)
And then turned away
(Chooka-chooka, hoo la ley)
That's what they sang
(Looka-looka, koo la ley)
I said, "Now, please, explain the meaning of this song you sing"
("Wondrous is our great Blue Ship
That sails around the mighty Sun
And joy to everyone that rides along")
Oh, they sang
(Chooka-chooka, hoo la ley)
That's what they sang
(Looka-looka, koo la ley)
Oh, that's nice
And they danced
Pretty soon I knew the tune
And we sat and sang under the moon
And the jungle rang in joyful harmony
They sang
(Chooka-chooka, hoo la ley)
That's what they sang
(Looka-looka, koo la ley)
And then turned away
(Chooka-chooka, hoo la ley)
That's what they sang
(Looka-looka, koo la ley)
Wondrous is our great Blue Ship
That sails around the mighty Sun
Joy to everyone that rides alongCan you hear me? I love you. Believe me now I could never say goodbye Don't leave me now Believe me now.

She gives me love that I could never hope to have, She tells me that she needs me,she tells me that she's glad, And if she goes away, I'm like someone who's left out in the rain, I need, I need her, I need her love. She came in from the west, a summer breeze I couldn't rest, I had to take a fast train, to be there by her side, She made me feel so good, she made it like it should be all the time I need, I need her, I need her love. Just when I was thinkin' of her, she came along and made me want her. I need her love, I need her love, I need her love. If she goes away, I'm like someone who's left out in the rain, I need, I need her, I need her love. The boats that sail, the planes that fly,she is with me. I wonder if she wonders, if this is all for real, I couldn't stand to see her cry because of me, that would be sad. I need, I need her, I need her love. She tells me everything, she makes me smile, she tries to sing, But never shares her suffering, if things are going wrong, She makes it like a dream, if things are as they seem the world is good. I need her love, I need her love, I need her love.

Just on the border of your waking mind There lies another time Where darkness and light are one And as you tread the halls of sanity You feel so glad to be unable to go beyond I have a message from another time
The visions dancing in my mind The early dawn, the shades of time Twilight crawling through my windowpane Am I awake or do I dream? The strangest pictures I have seen Night is day and twilight's gone away With your head held high and your scarlet lies You came down to me from the open skies It's either real or it's a dream There's nothing that is in between Twilight I only meant to stay a while Twilight I gave you time to steal my mind away from me Across the night, I saw your face (time) You disappeared without a trace (time) You brought me here, but can you take me back? Inside the image of your light (time) That now is day and once was night (time) You leave me here and then you go away (It's either real or it's a dream There's nothing that is in between) Twilight (twilight) Twilight (twilight) Twilight (twilight) I gave you time to steal my mind away from me You brought me here, but can you take me back again? With your head held high and your scarlet lies You came down to me from the open skies (It's either real or it's a dream There's nothing that is in between) Twilight I only meant to stay awhile (twilight) Twilight I gave you time to steal my mind Twilight I only meant to stay awhile (twilight) Twilight I only meant to stay awhile (twilight) Twilight (twilight) Twilight (twilight)
(2095, 2095, 2095, 2095) (I love you, sincerely) (Yours truly, yours truly) I sent a message to another time But as the days unwind this I just can't believe I send a note across another plane Maybe it's all a game but this I just can't conceive (Can you hear me?) I drive the very latest hover car I don't know where you are but I miss you so much till then I met someone who looks a lot like you She does the things you do but she is an IBM (2095, 2095, 2095, 2095) (I love you, sincerely) (Yours truly, yours truly) She's only programmed to be very nice But she's as cold as ice whenever I get too near She tells me that she likes me very much but when I try to touch She makes it all too clear She is the latest in technology Almost mythology but she has a heart of stone She has an IQ of one thousand and one She has a jump suit on and she's also a telephone (2095, 2095, 2095, 2095) (I love you, sincerely) (Yours truly, yours truly) Is that what you want? (Is it what you want?) Is it what you really want? (Is it what you really want?) Is that what you want? (Is it what you want?) Is it what you really want? I realize that it must seem so strange That time has rearranged but time has the final word She knows I think of you she reads my mind She tries to be unkind she knows nothing of our world Although her memory banks overflow No one would ever know for all she says, "Is that what you want?" Maybe one day I'll feel her cold embrace And kiss her interface until then I'll leave her alone (I love you, sincerely) (Yours truly, yours truly) Is that what you want? (Is it what you want?) Is it what you really want? (Is it what you really want?) Is that what you want? (Is it what you want?) Is it what you really want? Is that what you want?

Rain, rain, go away, come again another day Early in the morning The sun was up and the sky was very blue Without a warning As I looked out, my thoughts returned to you A noise in the city made the children run And hide themselves away And thunder boomed and lightning filled the sky Looking from this window A thousand rivers running past my door Standing on an island Looking for someone upon the shore I can see it very clearly Nothing's really changed Then lightning strikes across an empty sky Ooh, the rain is falling Ooh, the rain is falling Ooh, the rain is falling Will it wash away those lonely tears? (It's raining, it's pouring, the old man is snoring) With their brand-new time transporter They'll think maybe I fought to get away But with all their great inventions And all their good intentions, here I stay Down on the corner where the sun had shone The people gathered 'round Then scattered as the raindrops hit the ground Ooh, the rain is falling Ooh, the rain is falling I said, ooh, the rain is falling Will it wash away those lonely tears? (Raining, pouring, old man is snoring) Ooh, the rain is falling I said, ooh, the rain is falling Ooh, rain keeps on falling, falling Will it wash away those lonely tears?

I don't mind the pain, or the joker's cold refrain The days pass by so slowly, I count them all again Silence of a basement, shades all closed at noon (loser gone wild) Lie awake for fear of strangers Darkness comes on slowly, twilight is the ecstasy Like a candle burning bright, shadows dance until the night Empty rooms and chilling smiles, ooh (loser gone wild) They go on for miles and miles But in the evening when the sun goes down Crawl from the shadows, got to get into town Where the music is playin' all across the night And every cloud disappears from sight There goes a loser (loser), another loser gone There goes another (loser), another who's alone There goes a loser (loser), another loser gone wild I don't mind if violins don't play I won't listen to them anyway I don't care what people say (loser gone wild) Some things just can't be arranged.
