The birth of a realisation The rise of a high expectation Together successful, defiant Together the parts make a giant See the world in the palm of his hand Striding steps that will cover the land He is coming Hear him coming Are you ready For his being? Hear the giant Feel the giant Touch the giant See the giant Together successful, defiant Together the parts make a giant The birth of a realisation The rise of a high expectation
I'm sorry to have been so much of a bore But in my own funny way I find I learn much more. I realize what you think from your eyes, But in your own funny way I find I learn much more. My ways are strange They'll never change They stay, strange ways I'm sorry to have been so close from the start, But for all that I cared we could be miles apart. I understood that you never would Understand a way of life that I never could. My ways are strange They'll never change They stay, strange ways Go your own way or wait for me Go your own way or wait for me Go your own way or wait for me Go your own way or wait for me And so you see what happened to me Since the time when I judged my life in nights and days I realized that my life was lies So you see what I mean with all my funny ways. I'm sorry to have been so much of a bore But in my own funny way I find I learn much more Funny ways, Funny ways, Funny ways, Funny ways.
Lying still, Am I dreaming Feel the chill Breath of fear Evil fingers Hover, linger Someone help me Terror fills my soul. Living dead, Am I breathing Sightless, blind Heart stopped beating Hear the crying Of the dying Someone help me Ogres of the night.
Isn't it quiet and cold walking all alone, alone? Happened I missed the bus and found I had to walk, alone. What was that? Only me. Hear the echo of my feet Footsteps Are they mine? Hear the echo of the street. Wished I lived near at hand although I live alone, alone At least I'll find company, so why should I moan, alone. Movement By my feet Paper wind across the street Curtains closed Sleepy heads Wrapped together in their beds I used to walk with someone else I didn't seem to notice sights and sounds of the lonely street I used to talk with someone else Now the only answers are the calls of the night Look at that alley cat, it's winding home to rest, alone Half-past four and daylight shows itself once more Walking all alone Walking all alone
Now she sits by the riverside Watching the waters glide by, With a sigh And the things she put faith in Are ripples just waving her by With a sigh She sees lovers pass by with much more than a kiss Ah this, little girl who had everything finds She's nothing at all Now the wind seems so cold Seems all old as it laughs at her fears And her tears And as ducks swim away from her Visions of past love appear In her tears She sees love in his face as she tells him to go, And so, here's a girl who had everything now She's nothing at all What could she do if she saw him now; Now that he's gone she's losing If she could see what she's seeing now For sure she's more than just choosing Now she sits by the riverside Watching the waters glide by, With a sigh And the things she put faith in Are ripples just waving her by, With a sigh She sees lovers pass by with much more than a kiss Ah this, little girl who had everything finds She's nothing at all
Don't sing a tune to yourself You might believe this one. Try not to sew it yourself The threading won't stretch none. Don't give me none of that line. Why not? Got to sing something. Love's song there's nothing to find Why not? Dead before playing. Don't sing a tune to yourself You might believe this one Try not to sew it yourself The threading won't stretch none Who says the things that go in The song is only saying. Dead thought can kill a good thing The band is only playing. Why not climb a hill With someone that hates you Why not hate someone Who climbs a hill with you And as time passes by Your feet start slipping You are wondering why There is no forgetting Don't sing a tune to yourself, You might believe this one Try not to sew it yourself The threading don't stretch none Who says the things that go in The song is only saying Dead thought can kill a good thing The band is only playing Don't give me none of that line Why not? Got to sing something Love's song there's nothing to find Why not? Dead before playing Dead before playing.

How can I laugh or cry When my mind is sorely torn? Badabec had to die Fair Pantagruel is born Shall I weep, yes, for why? Then laugh and show my scorn Born with a strength untold Foreseen to have great age Set in Gargantuan mould, Joyful laugh, yet quick to rage Princely wisdom, habits bold; Power, glory, lauded sage Pantagruel born, the earth was dry and burning In Paradise dear Badabec prays for him Pantagruel born, the earth was dry and burning In Paradise dear Badabec prays for him. Pantagruel born, the earth was dry and burning In Paradise dear Badabec prays for him How can I laugh or cry When my mind is sorely torn? Badabec had to die, Fair Pantagruel is born Shall I weep, yes, for why? Then laugh and show my scorn.
The moon is down Casting its shadow over the night-haunted town Mystical figures under the silence of light The trembling air Drifts slowly unseen over the houses there And echoes changing into the voices of night On the edge of twilight whispering Whisper, whisper, whisper, whisper On the edge of twilight whispering Whisper, whisper, whisper, whisper Elusive time In limbo active in never ending mime The edge of twilight into the darkness of day
The ship's rising up from the sea to the sky heyeheh Hold on Just one sorry scream and a desperate cry heyeheh Hold on Their lives pass before them before they die heyeheh The sea yawns around like a boiling hell heyeheh hold on And souls disappear with the toll of that bell heyeheh hold on The arms of the sea they are dragging them down heyeheh hold on And sorrows and sins they are lost as they drown heyeheh How strange when you think that the sea was their way, And a meaningless death is the price they pay For their living was made from the deep To their people in comfort and keep Keep all their people and places there Never to be seen again, never to be loved and their last embrace And the kiss has a salt bitter taste Now all that remains is the deep cruel sea heyeheh hold on And wreckage of things that used to be heyeheh hold on No stone marks the place of that watery grave heyeheh hold on Together they die both the weak and the brave heyeheh hold on The arms of the sea
And the horse riding up through the red skies The moon is down With a gold coloured bird through the cloud flies The moon is down Look East to the Sun Oh, where do they run Look East to the Sun Oh, where do they run They live in my dreams In my dreams, in my dreams And the Moon and the Earth they were mating The moon is down And the Angels of hell they were waiting The moon is down Oh, bride of the winds Reward for their sins Oh, bride of the winds Reward for their sins They live in my dreams In my dreams, in my dreams There's a chaos of visions and voices The moon is down Sad is the laugh of the clown Now the old moon is down
There's a cat prowling through the streets at night And she's black and her eyes are burning yellow Fierce and bright The lights are darkened, Senses sharpened, Wide awake As she acts out her past of Jungle days When the night was her friend in many other Different ways It gave protection Of detection By her prey With a sway and swing she walks away And the look in her eye it never seems To say The way she's feeling No revealing, Black cat ways
Why do you question When there's no answer told? Plain truth is nothing You can't buy it when it's sold Save all your money And they won't reason why Why all the worry? They'll spend it when you die Don't look for something Plain truth is nothing Nothing but the plain truth Don't look for something Plain truth is nothing Nothing but the plain truth You stand and wonder Just let it warm your skin Take all the living Live life and let it win Plain truth means nothing Cry, laugh and cry again You question answers Born, live and die, Amen Don't look for something Plain truth is nothing Nothing but the plain truth Don't look for something Plain truth is nothing Nothing but the plain truth Why do you question When there's no answer told? Plain truth is nothing You can't buy it when it's sold Save all your money And they won't reason why Why all the worry? They'll spend it when you die Don't look for something Plain truth is nothing Nothing but the plain truth Don't look for something Plain truth is nothing Nothing but the-
Three friends are made, three lives are laughs and tears Through years of school and play they share As time stands still the days change into years And future comes without a care. But fate and skill and chances play their part The wind of change leaves no good-bye Three boys are men their ways have drawn apart They tell their tales to justify.
The bell rings and all things Are calling the days past The play's cast Remember september When we were together Together, together Schooldays, the happy days when we were going nowhere Schooldays, the happy time when we were feeling no care Schooldays when three said that we'd better be friends forever How long is ever? Isn't it strange? Schooldays together, why do they change? How long is ever? Isn't it strange? Did kites fly and I spy And you cry to run fast Or come last You know how we made vows They're gone now We made friends we broke friends No more friends Schooldays, the happy days when we were going nowhere Schooldays, the happy time when we were feeling no care How long is ever? Isn't it strange? Schooldays together, why do they change? How long is ever? Isn't it strange? Schooldays together, why do they change? How long is ever? Isn't it strange? Schooldays together, why do they change? How long is ever? Isn't it strange? Schooldays together, why do they change? How long is ever? Isn't it strange? Schooldays together, why do they change? Remember Remember when we Together Went to the sea Seagull's scream and pink ice cream And the deep blue sky and the waves seem high And golden sand and the town brass band play on Wait for me Wait for us always Wait for me Wait for us to come Mister Watson wants to see you in the master's room It's about the work you should have don And I think you must go now Re... mem... ber... Gone Gone Gone How long is ever? Isn't it strange? Schooldays together, why do they change? How long is ever? Isn't it strange? Schooldays together, why do they change? How long is ever? Isn't it strange? Schooldays together, why do they change? How long is ever? Isn't it strange? Schooldays together, why do they change?
Working all day, I'm digging up the roads, just working all day Dig for my pay and spend it where I like. I've nothing to say Drown in my sweat but money buys escape. I've got no regrets Working all day Working all day When I was young I used to have illusions - Dreams ain't enough Papa was rough. He didn't care for learning. Hell life is tough Easy to say that everybody's equal then look around and See it ain't true Working all day I eat the dust. The boss gets all the money. Life ain't just I'm still the same as all the other people - who can I trust Working all day and never getting nowhere, what can I Say working all day Working all day
Free from the start Left to depart Finding the pleasure and the pain in his art Lost in the hush No need to rush Time waits for him, him who creates with the brush Colour the brush High in the air His dreams are there Searching for answers he will look everywhere Thinks he has won A place in the sun Free from the worries and the ways of everyone Colour the brush I peel the paint, look underneath You'll see the same, the same old savage beast Strip the coats, the coats of time And find mad eyes and see those sharpened teeth Nothing's been learned, no nothing at all And don't be fooled, get up before you fall A carnal grave, a crawling smooth Open flesh and you must let him in Glass reflects of what you are It shows the face, the evil face of sin Nothing's been learned, no nothing at all And don't be fooled, get up before you fall Nothing's been learned, no nothing at all And don't be fooled, get up before you fall
Look around my rooms and see the prizes I have showing Working hard to build my life and plan the way I'm going House and car and pretty wife they've all been won by knowing All been won by knowing All been won by knowing Paperwork, white collared shirts, where would we be without them Man of class and quality, I never shout about them Choose my friends for my own ends, you can't succeed without them Can't succeed without them Can't succeed without them Middleman sees straight ahead and never crosses borders Never understood the artist or the lazy workers The world needs steady men like me To give and take the orders Give and take the orders Give and take the orders
Once three friends Sweet in sadness Now part of their past In the end Full of gladness Went from class to class
There coming over Charaton Bridge Look do you see the man who is poor but rich. What do you wish, and where do you go, Who are you, where are you from, Will you tell me your name? Rest awhile, call me your friend. Please stay with me I'd like to help. Then he said, How can I speak when I'm dry and my Throat is burning. So bring me aid And I'll answer your doubts. Friend in need I'd like your help Please take me home I'll stay with you. Then said he fair Pantagruel My name is Panurge and I have come from Hell. Look at my friend Look all around you Look at my friend Take all round you. Hey, Friend ? So brotherhood was made as their bond Carried him home and provide for his needs And his shelter, this day was done As no other the like. Faithfully their vow was made and from That day they were as one.
Gather round the village square Come good people both wretched And fair See the troubadour play on the drum Hear my songs on the lute that I strum. I will make you laugh, Revel, Merry-dance Throw your pennies, then you'll hear More of The story-telling half There's no other chance, Always move on Raconteur, troubadour Take the face that you see for the man, Clown and minstrel, I am what I am All my family, not of my kin Home, wherever, the place that I'm in Humors give me wage, Favors for my art Rising, falling Everyone struggle on All the world's a stage All can play their part I have chosen Raconteur, troubadour Dusk is drawing my story is spun, Dawn is falling my day's work is done Morning, rested I set on my way Find new faces to offer my play I will make you laugh, Revel, Merry-dance Throw your pennies, then you'll hear More of The story-telling half There's no other chance Always move on Raconteur-Troubadour
Run, why should I run away When at the end the only truth certain one day everyone dies If only to justify life Live, I've lived a thousand lives And anyone is the right, the just life If I could cry, I'd cry for everyone Doubts, no doubt, is all I know There is no fate, there's no luck What does that show? Showing is proof, but proving is nothing but fear If I could cry, I'd cry then for everyone Shame, I've hoped two thousand years but no one knows, so I've cried, crying vain tears Always too late, too late to cry, cry for everyone
All in all each man in all men All men in each man. He can see she can't, she can see she can see whatever, whatever. You may know what I don't know, but not that I don't know it and I can't tell you so you will. To tell me all man in all men All men in each man. He can see she can't, she can see she can see whatever, whatever. You may know what I don't know, but not that I don't know it and I can't tell you so you will have to tell me all. It hurts him to think that she is hurting her by him being hurt to think that she thinks he is hurt by making her feel guilty at hurting him by her thinking she wants him to want her. Her wants her to want him to get him to want him to get him to want her she pretends. He tries to make her afraid by not being afraid. (permutations) You may know what I don't know, but not that I don't know it and I can't tell you so you will have to tell me all. I get what I deserve. I deserve what I get. I have it so I deserve it. I deserve it for I have it. I get what I deserve. What I deserve - what I deserve what I get. I have it so I deserve. He tries to make her afraid by not being afraid.
Instrumental) Not to be confused with the play of the Same name - at least not the characters, We hope. This piece is for Gentle Giant As a whole - out engineer, Martin Rushant, included. -----------------------------------------------
Shuffling down the street with his sideways feet Stopping now and then and he'll stop again No doubt in his mind where he's going He doesn't care for his hair or his teeth And if the truth were known he's a bit of a thief Innocently lies, and it's showing Who'd imagine he's man's best friend Knowing he's your friend in the end Won't be around when you shout or swear Not very sorry, he doesn't care God knows why we call him old faithful Pat him on the head, give the dog a bone Use a friendly tone, he won't leave you alone No one understands like old faithful Early rise. Is it wise? Wonders happen now and then Eats his fill, time to kill Then goes back to sleep again Trusty slave, bold and brave And he roars like a lion But in fact, it's an act And the truth is that he isn't No one understands it's a dog's life Chases dreams, so it seems He shines in his master's light Looking good, so he should For the choice is very narrow No one understands it's a dog's life Shuffling down the street with his sideways feet Stopping now and then and he'll stop again No doubt in his mind where he's going He doesn't care for his hair or his teeth And if the truth were known he's a bit of a thief Innocently lies, and it's showing
Why am I using words, no more to say without you Close the door, put out the lights and go Late in the night, in the night your shadow falls between us Nevermore, never know There, memories are sorrow, When there's no tomorrow Sleep while the sweet sorrow wakes my daydream Sleep while you think of me with Kindness, please remember former days Sweet the song that once we sang, the silent parting ways And you know, and you know And you know, long ago when first we made our promise Empty words, I wonder did you know The laugh that love could not forgive Is gone and tells no more to live And we who look in beauty's love Must now, through all, look back on before The tears that I first cried, no more Your love has come and gone, no more And we who look in beauty's love Must now through all think back on before Sleep while the sweet sorrow wakes my daydream Sleep while you think of me with Kindness, please remember former days And you know, and you know And you know, when we two parted in tears and silence Past the days, the parting ways Fare thee well, fare thee well, you That was once dear to me Think of me with kindness Think of me
Touching the last of what is past Moving silent water fell the first that comes Slow and winding, flowing free Peaceful music in its sound of distant drums Trust the shallow virgin stream Danger wild, beware the deeper it becomes Moving highway, twisting byway Can't turn back Sining in the summer rain Rain that's caught in its flow Spreading, shining, silver lining Gold on black Echoes moods of the moon and sun Sun that shines from below Makes a soft and easy way Left to choose its path will always be a friend Touch the last of what has past Never idle river drifting to the end
He is the runaway, Lie low the wanted man Mask his elusive face, Soon he will getaway and free is his Future no more aimless time to spend And evading, he's escaping Four dirty walls and a bed in a cage his home no more. Run in the underwood, Cover and hide the trail Senses like sharpened sword, Guards for the shadow on his tail And yet all his joy is empty and sad. All thoughts are scarred with the prison cell and freedom Seems like freedom's hell Hope stained with strange regret, His dreams are dreams For that he cannot get. And yet all his joy is empty and sad. Lose all identity, Vanish in own denial Seeks only lies and hide, Truth never brought to trial. And caught in his own net, he looks to find endless life and Evading, he's escaping Four dirty walls and a bed in a cage his home no more. Run in the underwood, Cover and hide the trail Senses like sharpened sword, Guards for the shadow on his tail.
Lying down here in the afternoon In my pretty cosy little cushioned room I can talk to all my funny friends in here I was told to rest why ... I am not quite clear Eating flowers growing in the garden Where there are tasty tulips and I don't care If I wet my trousers there was no time I had nowhere else to go, nowhere else could I find Staring up at the great big white light That shines everyday and shines all through the night Hearing voices of the silly friends of mine Always lock the door nurses waiting outside all the time Hurt myself this morning Doctor gave me warning Sent me to my room And told me that I'm bad I heard someone saying I think he'll be staying Maybe for a long time Why does everybody else think that I'm mad? I heard someone saying I think he'll be staying Maybe for a long time And that I'm mad Lying down here in the afternoon In my pretty cosy little cushioned room I can talk to all my funny friends in here I was told to rest why ... I am not quite clear
You'll find an answer, You've got to believe in your own way Of life. So you'll have to find an answer, You'll have to find a way, Try to find, Try to find. You'll try to question her, Does she believe in the choice of Your life. So you have to try to ask her, when you are away, left Behind, out of mind; away. And in the end you discover, examine, you have to decide if There is an answer, if there is a way, Let her find piece of Mind. And another day, all alone, think there is away at home. Every other may, have their own, way of life that is their Own. And your wandering only a game to realise no joy your Own. And another day, all alone, choice of life is not your own. You'll try to question her, Does she believe in the way of Your life. So you have to try to ask her, You'll have to find a way, left Behind, out of mind; away.
Once I was a boy, an innocent to life and my role in it, This world played my game, and anyone a clown or foil for Myself The harmless affairs, and no-one seemed to care for any Meaning My life was my own, The debt I paid, I paid it only to Myself The unseeing youth, how can it be so shallow and short- Sighted These years passed me by, to realise the folly of these unripe Years Now I am a man, I realise My unworldly sins pained many lives Yet I heard, heard with ears that wouldn't listen And still I watched and I saw with blinkered eyes But with age the conscience slowly dawns and bonds of Duty gently tied All my sins, seen through now there is experience and Recollecting act in virgin guise. Master inner voices, making the choices Once I could rebel and consequences then had no reflection And I am a man, And I am bound by adult age discretion Now
Meeting in this way who could have known How our destinies and ways apart have grown Looking still the same after all these years Changing only in my memories not clear And believing all futures we would share Fate design playing natures mime And today by chance we meet again After all this time Meeting in this way no-one could have known Sharing thoughts and deeds simple harmony Plans and hopes erased in our maturity Now tomorrow's dreams are now yesterday Fate design playing natures mime And today by chance we meet again After all this time Meeting in this way no-one could have known
Looking through the window can you tell me what you see. You're sure you're really seeing what is meant to be a Glass A mirror to reflect what I conspire a vision, image I desire. Standing on the ice believing all I'm searching for Close your cloudy eyes and chase all that you did before Standing on the ice believing all I'm for Close your cloudy eyes and chase all that you did before Living in a glass house shielding all that's meant for me Can you clear the shade and can you tell me what you see. Shadow fills the light until the glass house becomes the Night Dark is gleaming or am I dreaming Running everywhere Seeing clearly when I dare Is it today or is it your way And the moon must fall Inspiration waits for your call for you to get a silhouette Narrow the field aim in any direction Do what I feel just to see my reflection Any turn I know Disappearing everywhere I go I look to you for what I do And only then I see That the glass house is just for me And any time is never mine Narrow the field aim in any direction Do what I feel just to see my reflection Shadow fills the light until the glass house becomes night Dark is gleaming or am I dreaming Running everywhere Seeing clearly when I dare Is it today or is it your way And the moon must fall Inspiration waits for your call for you to get a silhouette
You may not have all you want or you need All that you have has been due to my hand, It can change, it can stay the same, Who can say, who can make their claim The situation we are in at this time Neither a good one, nor is it so unblest It can change, it can stay the same, I can say, I can make my claim. Hail ... Hail ... Hail Unity's strength and all must be as one, Confidence in you hope will reflect in me I think everyone not as my nation for You are my people and there must be no change It can change, it can stay the same I can say, I can make my claim Hail ...

Hear, he'll do it all for you, you will see it, Wise and knowing what to do, what to be And every word is ... Lies, he only tells the truth, for he means it, Means, not anything he says, eyes unseen, But everything is ... So sincere, so sincere, so sincere, so sin Yes, that is to say no, understanding Wrong, he makes his promise right, with your hand You'll never know why So sincere, so sincere, so sincere, so sincere So, sincere his thoughts so full, always empty Good, or maybe things are bad, so sincere, And every word is ... So sincere, so ...
As the dust settles, see our dreams, All coming true It depends on you, If our times, they are troubled times, Show us the way, Tell us what to do As our faith, maybe aimless blind, Hope our ideals and Our thoughts are yours And believing the promises, Please make your claims Really so sincere Be our guide, our light and our way of life And let the world see the way we lead our way Hopes, dreams, hopes dreaming that all our Sorrows gone In your hands, holding everyone's Future and fate It is all in you, Make us strong build our unity, All men as one It is all in you Be our guide, our light and our way of life And let the world see the way we lead our way Hopes, dreams, dreaming that all our sorrows Gone forever
As I hold the key to the back door Of the world I feel my Hand touching bounds never had before. I can view the power of my position and my Eyes can see more than anyone in any place, I'll play the game and never ever lose. I'm the king in fighting competition And the other pieces Are there for my art and my tactics now. All my games are won before they're played for I have planned that no opposition can stage a fight I'll play the game and never ever lose. My thoughts never spoken only the Visions inside my head the truth never broken Within my silent words left unsaid. I will steer the helm of all the nation As the captain Take my rewards for all the good I'm doing now, And no words that I'm the knave will alter my Philosophy for if any are heard, the games started Again I'll never ever lose.
Empty promise broken The path has not been paved any way Cogs in cogs The machine is being left where it lay Anger and the rising murmur Breaks the old circle The wheel slowly turns around All words saying nothing The air is sour with discontent No returns have been tasted Or are they ever sent Slowly burning in the fire Rising murmur breaks the old circle The wheel slowly turns around Cogs in cogs, wheels turning around (Cogs in cogs in wheel turning around) The circle turns around The changing voices calling (Circle turns around) The circle turns around (The changing voices) The changing voices calling (Circle turns around) (The changing voices) The circle turns around (Circle turns around) The changing voices calling (The changing voices) (Circle turns around) The circle turns around (The changing voices) (Circle turns around) The changing voices calling (The changing voices) The circle turns around (Circle turns around) (The changing voices) The changing voices calling (Circle turns around) The circle turns around (The changing voices) (Circle turns around) The changing voices calling (The changing voices) (Circle turns around) The circle turns around (The changing voices) The changing voices calling (Circle turns around) (The changing voices) The circle turns around (Circle turns around) The changing voices calling (The changing voices) (Circle turns around) The circle turns around (The changing voices) (Circle turns around) The changing voices calling (The changing) Slow burning in the fire Rising murmur breaks the old circle The wheel slowly turns around Cogs in cogs in wheels (Cogs, cogs in wheel) (Cogs, cogs in wheel) In circles slowly turn around (cogs in circles) (Turning it around)
Now the words and claims are seen as always The way they'll always be, way they'll always be Truth is halfway true, the man is only a man Who fails to know, The people shouting for him have turned now Telling him to go Powers that have place, esteemed positions Telling him to cry, telling him to cry, Soon another song is sung, In turn for existing blame and then Apologise, conditions turn, Then it happens all again After all the things are said, no God's a man, No God's a man, And yet after all the things are said, No God's a man, must happen all again After all the things are said, no God's a man, No God's a man, And yet after all the things are said, No God's a man, and then again
Sing your song, words that have to continue Tell a tale, seal the screen that is in you Make your peace, face to face that is after Reasons plain, tears of pain are not laughter Cast off the mould, buy all you've sold, Confidence lost, pay for the cost Choose your way, realising our mission, Figures lay, pulling strings for position Take your bows, hear the people are calling Play the game, Take the blame as you're falling Time to confess, clean up the mess, Stand in the white, step in the light Use the time, show the face that is sorry, For the day, questions leading to worry Hide your mask, show the face that is sorry Time to question, answering all their worry Time to confess, clean up the mess, Cast off the mould, buy all you've sold

Rests where he's staying, nowhere he knows A place where nobody cares where he's straying or where he goes To find no-one in particular, footloose, adventure still No thoughts for reasons, he does all he's doing Has time to kill and still he's killing the time Sundowner, drifting from place to place Where all he needs is the shelter from seasons he has to face No bounds or duties are his, never seeking to find an end For life goes on being life, time and fortune he needs no friends And yet he's killing the time Where does he come from what did he do You know the answers are his hopes and promises nothing new With no regrets he goes on doing nothing Himself alone, but still he finds all the time isn't wasted His life his own and yet he's killing the time And with no questions then he finds his way Tomorrow's never dawn only today Content within his time just drifts away He finds his way He finds his way Sundowner, drifting from place to place Where all he needs is the shelter from seasons he was to face No bounds or duties are his, never seeking to find an end For life goes on being life, time and fortune he needs no friends And yet he's killing the time Where does he come from what did he do You know the answers are his hopes and promises nothing new With no regrets he goes on doing nothing Himself alone, but still he finds all the time isn't wasted His life his own and yet he's killing the time
Rose in early morning, as the light came through Searching in the ocean, did what he should do Seeking not adventure, just a way of life Sky above turned grey, wind cut like a knife This was his last voyage, this was his last time Pulling on the anchor, letting go the rope Age rules over all things, fate rules over hope Then as bow was broken, water soon to rise For they would have nothing, Nature's trust unwise Through his boat and fortune, not for him that day If he went to God, for him they would pray As the tempest thundered, as the storm broke free Suddenly in darkness, fear there none to see Visions in his memory, what was meant to be When the storm was over, nothing could be seen Life and boat were taken, God knows what it means Rose in early morning, as the light came through Searching in the ocean, did what he should do This was his last voyage, this was his last time Pulling up the anchor, letting go the rope Age rules over all things, fate rules over hope
Up, up, time to fly Moving all around, going everywhere from town to town All looking the same, changing only in name Days turn into nights, time is nothing only if it's right From where you came don't you think it's a game No, no, don't ask why Do it as you're told, you're the packet, do it as you're sold To all your friends, none for you at the end Give them all you can, finish stronger than you first began You never pretend, all for you at the end Time, time, say goodbye To another place, hoping that you're seeing what you chase All things as they should, always thought that they would So you're racing ahead, home is just your shelter and your bed You do all you could, yesterday not as good There are no hours, there are no seasons Only the present, choice is the reason There are no hours, there are no seasons Only the present, choice is the reason Up, up, time to fly Moving all around, going everywhere from town to town All looking the same, changing only in name Days turn into nights, time is nothing only if it's right From where you came, it's you who's taking the blame Give them all you can, finish stronger than when you first began You take the acclaim, don't you think it's a game
1. Isn't it strange, oh it's funny, Working for years have no money, Suddenly luck can smile on you And your life seems worth while to you. Chorus: Just how much can you spend, Give it back in the end, And the time of your season, Was no use, had no reason. 2. And you move, you go away And you can't come home not today. Spreading it out over the bad years, Not for those men, they can't hear. Chorus: 3. Haven't had much in a long time, Hoping that change is going to be mine. Don't want to go, I want to stay here, Spreading it out over the bad years. Chorus:
(Chant) As years drift by And future dies. 1. He sits and he thinks About all he's done in life, I'm now an old man, What have I been in life? What did I do? Had no end to aspire to. 2. His dreams as a boy Were of hope and intention Of making his mark With his plans and invention, Where did they go, How could he know how time goes. In my day had to have Certain future, But now you can do as you like, All that I might have wanted, Seeking what you're after, But not for me. Everything comes to those who wait, I thought everything may come to me Made my way only as I was able. 3. He knows there's no more he can do, No romances, now bitten today For they have all his chances, All too late, no one waits How time goes by. Seeking what you're after, But not for me Have as my years drift by Never for me.

1. She knows the streets Where she walks, Never were paved with gold Can't return, But won't dream till she's old. Leaving it soon behind City so cold. And everyday now so long, How could she have been so wrong. 2. And as the morning comes, Shadows on her fall upon, Walking crowded the streets She looked on, Packs her case And tomorrow she's gone. And everyday now so long, How could she have been so wrong.
See now, like cat then mouse, I move, They move, the game hasn't an end. Good news soon, bad news then, I know the sound that says "Nothing again". What then? The hours go past, My say is real, they say only pretend. Timing. Wait for that day, for my good. Timing. When I sell myself again. Do they all realise, the lion's share Is always halfway. Wait for that day for my good. When I sell myself again. Timing. Wait for that day, for my good. Timing. When I sell myself again. See now, like cat then mouse, I move, They move, the game hasn't an end. Good news soon, bad news then, I know the sound that says "Nothing again". What then? The hours go past, My say is real, they say only pretend. Timing.
1. I lost my head, it was not easy, Unknown, unread, it wasn't easy, And each day, each night, Wasn't wrong, nor right, I can't remember what I said I lost my head. 2. What will I feel maybe tomorrow, But time not real, hours I can borrow, So until for now, as long as how, I can't remember what I said I lost my head. (Part 2) 1. I lost my head, forget what I said, What's the use to try to deny it, I didn't think it would ever happen again, Wondering why, once bitten, twice shy, Never thought again would I try it, And even though maybe soon It would end, wanting to stop, But had to go on, Give a little part of my person, And don't reflect, Don't remember what I said, I was afraid and I stayed away Making sure of my independence, Isn't it true That I lost my head. Took my time and I didn't rush into anything, Showed my face, just forgetting myself, I lost my head. 2. Everything's true, but everything lies, It's so hard to try to explain it, It doesn't matter it happened anyway, And for the time while someone is mine, I'll go on won't try to contain it, Though never sure it could finish anyday, I lost my head, So glad that I made Right or wrong, I made the decision To take my chances, Give out something of me, How will I feel tomorrow? Not real trying to avoid a collision, I lost my head, But today I can see. Took my time and I didn't rush into anything, Showed my face, just forgetting myself, I lost my head.
Two weeks in Spain makes the year disappear easy Two weeks in Spain, you forget, bored and yet weary We're back again, drink the wine, weather's fine, only Two weeks in Spain's not enough Never think where you're going Paradise a while knowing Everything that you're doing It's a carnival Two weeks in Spain makes the year disappear easy Two weeks in Spain, you forget, bored and yet weary We're back again, drink the wine, weather's fine, only Two weeks in Spain's not enough Let it go so remember Counting sheep in September Let 'em know you're the master It's a roundabout Never think where you're going Paradise a while knowing Everything that you're doing It's a carnival Two weeks in Spain makes the year disappear easy Two weeks in Spain, you forget, bored and yet weary We're back again, drink the wine, weather's fine, only Two weeks in Spain's not enough Two weeks in Spain
Where's the love that you once promised. Where's the pride, was it all lies? Taking all, but giving nothing. Did you want a compromise? All these years we spent together. It was me who sold my time Now I've made my life's decision. I'll take yours so please take mine I'm turning around, there was no other way I'm turning around, taking you come what may How long did you think we'd make it. How could this affair survive? Making mine a new direction. Could we keep us both alive? All I am I have to offer. Someone new but still the same Life for us an empty shelter. Now I'll play a different game I'm turning around, there was no other way I'm turning around, taking you come what may

Look at the mirror over there What do you see? Tell yourself a lie Are you as old as you seem? Feel something that you have to be Being open, an innocent, wise only when Age can mellow the haste New hopes, ambitions undone You're only as old as you're young Out of your youth and you'll find that the time goes Slipping away where no-one knows Soon enough Winter is changing to Spring Always understand one life it goes Out of your youth and you'll find that the time goes Slipping away where no-one knows Soon enough Winter is changing to Spring Always understand one life it goes Never as old as you're young and everything still yet to find Dreams not realized Thoughts rising, duties and vows continue, can't wait for you Now is the day, tomorrow comes without an end Mark time follow the sun You're only as old as you're young Out of your youth (and you'll find that the time goes) Out of your youth that no-one knows (Slipping away and you'll find that the time goes) Slipping away where no-one knows (Slipping away is changing to Spring aah) Soon enough one life it goes (Always understand Winter is changing to Spring aah) Out of your youth one life it goes (Always understand you'll find that the time goes) Out of your youth oh my oh my (Slipping away and you'll find that the time goes) So as you look around Look at the things you knew Never seeking the past Forget all the things you have done You're only as old as you're young Still open eyed and promises never quite complete Working head in the air The coming of age never comes You're only as old as you're young Still open eyed and promises never quite complete Working head in the air The coming of age never comes You're only as old as you're young
Now the wings fell to ground as the miles they were crossed All the years seemed like days as the time it was lost For without his solutions and reasons for why He should come up for air to the town once his by So soon on his way Shadows from the pathways Memories of old days That the journey was long many thoughts filled his mind As he neared the stop always a dream he would find But the road that he knew could no longer be seen And the city lights flickered where lake waters gleamed With sadness today Hopes of joy yesterday Memories of old days Sky and the trees of his youthful time spent Only smoke, only paper. No colour or scent With sadness today Hopes of joy yesterday Memories of old days
Once he could smile maybe happy Fighting for his future and his destinations There were his friends he'd rely on Everyone had nothing but their aspirations Soon dreaming found realization Winning was his target with deliberation Now he has everything, tell me why No one knows him, the veils shut out cutting the tie So now he's made his own island Not familiar even to his understanding Thoughts turning sour, did he want it? Something reassuring in his time and planning What did he miss, needing nothing? Seeing that it was the fighting and not the winning No returning, no looking back, on with his way Rising winner but falling man, gaining the day Once he could smile maybe happy Fighting for his future and his destinations There were his friends he'd rely on Everyone had nothing but their aspirations Soon dreaming found realization Winning was his target with deliberation
Running away, I'll leave you my address, Don't want you to reply to anybody Forward my mail to the next place I'll be responsible for nobody Given my best to the people I knew I'll always maintain my situation And through it all, No one told me that I was doing it for nobody Tried to forget everything that we did And thinking we did it all together How it went wrong, can't remember It doesn't matter much for nobody Nobody tells, everyone understands It's anybody for nobody Anyone for everybody I'll be responsible for nobody Taking my leave leaving many regrets I'll go without meeting understanding Maybe one day realizing That everybody is for nobody

Strange though we made it, in those days that were bare What pulled us through them, something was there I can remember, drifting apart, Thoughtless ways much stronger, As the time grew longer One for one not always, Then you said to me... It's only goodbye, a smile and a cry, and suddenly over, when I think of you know, in kindness allow. My memory lingers, then It's only goodbye, my strength telling lies, Just facing what had to be Mixed my reflections, did we think it was real Was it forever, fear not, just feel You had your troubles, yes I had mine Weren't we both for sharing, No not really caring, I would realize that, when you said to me... It's only goodbye, a smile and a cry, and suddenly over, when I think of you know, in kindness allow. My memory lingers, then It's only goodbye, my strength telling lies, Just facing what had to be It's Only Goodbye...

Plastic, plastic, take the modern way Simulation, for my instant day Why should I care, if you say that it's no good It's for me, can't you see? Convenience, everything is clean and easy I can't read, but then I watch T.V. Stimulation, they can do it for me How can you say, what is right and what is wrong It's for you, for me, too Convenience, everything is clean and easy Just believe me, it runs like a big machine It's just for me, can't you see? Convenience, everything is clean and easy
Everyday they clock me, everyday is just the same And the people I see, wear the same face as me As I turn the handle, time goes slowly by Is that all that there is until the day that I die? All through the night Through the night All through the night I can't believe I'm free till morning If I wipe the dirt and sweat, Then I find that more's still there If the summer don't get you, Then the winter always will Try not to think, it never gets nowhere But at least everyday ends, and the night's always there All through the night Through the night All through the night I can't believe I'm free till morning
And we're sitting here Wondering where the peaceful night has gone Over factories Shadows on the street, our lives still go on Another day, the songs the same Forget our dreams, and play the game The shadows on our street are clearer now, in light, We see, this is as it's meant to be Don't look there, just look at me And it's waking now And the grayness of the day will be here, Want you near
You walk in here, and it seems you think You own the place You ruin the sinks and you write on the wall After all the consideration given you, I thought you would be grateful, But no, you're not at all What can I do, what can I do, I've tried What can I say, do it my way Don't you forget, never forget, I'm Number One, yes, I'm Number One Number One, and you're still no one You say you're angry, It doesn't make much sense to me You're paying your rent, And at least you've got a job I've explained all the sacrifices offered you You take them without thanks, I forget that you're still slobs What can I do, what can I do, I've tried What can I say, do it my way Don't you forget, never forget, I'm Number One, yes, I'm Number One Number One, and you're still no one
Wheels go 'round, from end to end, A passage run, go down, descend And underground the air is stale With blurring light and endless rail On the wheels in motion, underground Silent noise, relentless sound Through shuttered aisle, the wheels go 'round The day is night, yet never still, From port to port, with miles to kill On wheels in motion, underground Just the locomotion, underground Windows dark, no view obscured With moving eyes, no sight assured Yet moving on, from place to place, Through corridors, without a face On the wheels in motion, underground Just the locomotion, underground
My eyes are ready, They're focusing on you I'm watching every move and all you do I see you everywhere, I'm here and now I'm there Nowhere you can hide, you're still in view And when the shutter's open, Images on my screen, Sent to the people waiting, People you've never seen, 'cause I am a camera, Looking at pictures of you I am a camera SMILE, Now you see me, now you don't I'm always working, At night and in the day I'm your security, that's what they say And if you think you're free, Then turn your back on me I'll catch you as you look the other way And when the shutter's open, Images on my screen, Sent to the people waiting, People you've never seen, 'cause I am a camera, Looking at pictures of you I am a camera SMILE, Now you see me, now you don't
As I sit, as the world goes 'round, In the room I've known before Is it me? Am I inside out? In a dream, as I watch the floor Everywhere, see, they are closing in, - Do I need lifting, do I need lifting But you say, no, there's nobody there, - Do I need lifting, do I need, Do I need, do I, do I need? How the colors seemed so bright, Now it feels they've lost their glow And the dreams, only nightmares now, Images, from down below Everything is spinning 'round, 'Round and 'round I go - Do I need lifting, do I need lifting Where's the door, now I don't know - Do I need lifting, (Do I need, do I need, do I?) x3 Do I need lifting, do I need lifting Do I need lifting, do I need? Funny how I lose control Funny how, I don't feel me But I do feel I'm inside out But I hear, I feel, I see Everything is getting dark No, please don't lock me in Do I need lifting, do I need lifting Am I here, the light is growing dim - Do I need lifting, (Do I need, do I need, do I?) x3 - Do I need lifting, do I need lifting Inside out - Do I need lifting, do I need lifting Inside out - Do I need lifting, do I need lifting - Do I need lifting, do I need lifting
Looked in the papers, looked in the magazines Wanted to find out, to know Was there an answer, was there really something Hidden beneath them below Searched in the light and underneath the pictures Something was written there And through the smiles and under all the color A message on everything there But it's not imagination It's not imagination It's not imagination It's not me, look and see for yourself Didn't believe it, although I saw myself Wanted to look there again, But it was real and everybody saw it When it was shown, pointed out to them S.e.xisting, s.e.x.exciting Written where it doesn't show What do we see, the product or the message So hard to tell I don't know But it's not imagination It's not imagination It's not imagination It's not me, can't you see for yourself (Solo) But it's not imagination It's not imagination It's not imagination It's not me, can't you see for yourself That's... All... There... Is...
