Another One Out
04:24
|
|||
|
It’s a hot, hot day, thinking ‘bout my changing roles
Sitting in the sunshine, checking my eyelids for holes
I awake - everything has changed
All my life is rearranged
It’s a hot, hot day, thinking through my perfect plans
Lost in dreams, shaping life with gentle hands
I can’t believe - you’re on my side
I’m off the blocks - no need to hide
The fantasy; the bottom line
The secret list; the grand design
Over the wall, under the wire, Listen to them shout
Hit the ground running; don’t look back
We got another one out, boys, We got another one out
It’s a hot, hot day, now I find there’s time to burn
Sitting in the sunshine, the colours and the sounds return
- I’m not afraid to go
Tell the world - now everyone can know
The fantasy; the bottom line
The secret list; the grand design
Over the wall, under the wire, Listen to them shout
Hit the ground running; don’t look back
We got another one out, boys, We got another one out

Grey Skies
04:29
|
|||
|
Wise words across the airwaves, sympathy across the room
Two minds, single thought, couldn’t get away too soon
Boredom threshold overloaded, hello burnout here we come
Two minds, single thought, now we know it’s time to run
Slipping away in the sunshine, knowing everything will be just fine
It’s how it’s meant to be, suddenly we’re free
Watching our grey skies turn blue; watching our grey skies turn blue
Making the break in the moonlight, so sure that it’s alright
Seizing our chance, no backward glance
Watching our grey skies turn blue
Turn it on, check the numbers
Pump it up, let it down
Two minds, single thought, watching blue skies come around
Watching blue skies come around, watching blue skies come around

On The Edge
04:05
|
|||
|
I seem to be out on the edge, he said, sitting on a spiritual ledge
I can’t stand up, I’m afraid of falling; waiting for a final call
I found myself adrift, he said, looking for some kind of lift
I can’t wake up, I’m afraid of sleeping; waiting in the reject heap
She raised her arms and rolled the mists away; whispered words to warm my heart
I breathe her name, I know her now; you - it’s you
Undeniably she said, I’m Madame Rescue
Lady Saviour, Soul Retriever, Sage and Comfort, your believer
Passion Healer, Hearts Reviver; never leave you
I found myself alive, he smiled, looking at the sun and sky
Golden she came through the shimmering light, to greet the day, dismiss the night
She lit my flame, she raised the fires, awoke my dwindling desires
My love, my life, my everything; set me free to dance and sing…and
Undeniably she said, I’m Madame Rescue
Lady Saviour, Soul Retriever, Sage and Comfort, your believer
Passion Healer, Hearts Reviver; never leave you

It Has To Be You
04:37
|
|||
|
I was dreaming; technicolour wishing, crazy in my reverie
Catch my meaning; passion and perfection, through each happy scene
Flash me a signal, throw me a line, donate a little of your precious time
It has to be you, has to be you
I was cruising; flagging up my interest, sure you’d see me bye and bye
Solo musing; scared of your reaction, desperate to catch your eye
Flash me a signal, throw me a line, donate a little of your precious time
It has to be you, has to be you
Can’t believe you’re really passing through
Can’t you see me here, I’m waving to you, waving to you

Talking With Your Eyes
05:07
|
|||
|
When you’re talking with your eyes, Oh! The subtle conversation this implies
Such intimate exchanges, my heart rearranges - constantly
When you’re talking with your eyes, it can surely come as no surprise
Such piercing revelations, such urgent new sensations, your optical allusion, my sensory confusion
Just confirms what I already knew; that I’m hopelessly in love - with you
You have my heart, you own my soul; you are in complete control
When you’re talking, when you’re talking, when you’re talking with your eyes
When you’re talking with your eyes, Oh how the atmosphere – electrifies
The non-verbal static, this induces, is pure magic, the tonal variation, in your silent sweet oration
Just confirms what I already knew, that I’m hopelessly in love - with you
You have my heart, you own my soul; you are in complete control
When you’re talking, when you’re talking, when you’re talking with your eyes

Love Lies
03:43
|
|||
|
It’s not the sweet seductive smile, that stirs the heart, just for a while
It briefly glows and then it slips, and quickly fades, on bright lips
It’s not the superficial sigh, the promise, or the lovers lie
Not the racing heart within, the stolen moment; skin on skin
Love lies not within the kiss; love lies not within the kiss
Love lies not within the kiss; but in the silences that follow
Just as the rose, in the final hush, that comes with dawn, glows - with a deeper red
So shall the lovers hearts, be made as one, in the long silences, after the words are said
It’s not the promise in her eyes, even though it seems - to hypnotise
And not the subtle sensual cries, that echo sweetly - as she flies
Love lies not within the kiss; love lies not within the kiss
Love lies not within the kiss; but in the silences ….

Strange Kind Of Love
04:20
|
|||
|
Her words fold around him, till he can barely breathe
Her eyes seem to hold him, as she tells him to leave
Her words tangle and bind him; catch him unaware
With ice in her speech and contempt in her stare
It’s a strange, strange, strange; it’s a strange, a strange kind of love
He weaves a spell of mystery ….and dedication
It becomes a spell of mastery…. and cruel subjection
She counts herself so lucky …that he wants her at all
She finds …..she obeys….every time that he calls
And you who find you’ve been left behind, who gave it all, but missed the signs
Caught inside a web of lies; Impossible to break the ties
It’s a strange, strange, strange; it’s a strange, a strange kind of love
They gaze into the distance, with silence in between
They stare into the past, reach for moments they have seen
Dust…to dust and ashes; weary to the bone
Bitter……and empty; together but alone
It’s a strange, strange, strange; it’s a strange, a strange kind of love

November '70
04:00
|
|||
|
We met, one late November, we said we would remember
Days that gave us special meaning; nights that set our two hearts singing
We planned for sheer perfection, lured there by loves introspection
Wrote the rules, played the games, dreamed the dream, fanned the flames
You ask me why I choose to stay, and so I say, why would I go?
You ask me why and I say, can’t you see; mon couer, mon couer s’eprit
We knew we’d be forever, sliding down the years together
Spoke the words, made the plan, eye to eye, hand to hand
You ask me why I choose to stay, and so I say, why would I go?
You ask me why and I say, can’t you see; mon couer, mon couer s’eprit
I love you to distraction, she whispered; I must admit it took me by surprise
Left me shaken and speechless; I confess there were tears in my eyes
We met, one late November, we said we would remember
Days that gave us special meaning; nights that set our two hearts singing
And you ask me why I choose to stay, and so I say, why would I go?
You ask me why and I say, can’t you see; mon couer, mon couer s’eprit

Careless Lives
04:54
|
|||
|
He brought her style and personal glory; any number of see-through stories
She fed him magazine lines, left him dozens of times
Rehearsed the lies inside her head
She gave him jealousy and fever; any number of reasons to leave her
He fed her well-worn lines, cheated on her dozens of times
Rehearsed the lies so often said
Their careless lives depend on this, each imperfection feeds the sorrow
Each precious moment feeds the dream, stumble on into tomorrow
Spent a fortune bending nature’s rules; living out fantasies like fools
Believed they were the good and great, fortune comes to those who wait
Left children far too late, they found
Their careless lives depend on this, each imperfection feeds the sorrow
Each precious moment feeds the dream, stumble on into tomorrow
Oh - such careless lives, oh - careless lives.
Sold their passion to the Sunday sleaze; lost it all in legal fees
Quickly pan to tomorrows scene, a thin goodbye, oh how good it’s been
Turn away with a fragile smile, a casual wave, then in a while
Find they’re left with no more than they gave
Oh - such careless lives, oh - careless lives.

Teenage Tears For Miles
04:55
|
|||
|
Fifteen years old; walking to school, tears running down her young face
Friends all around her try hard to be cool, but she’s in her musical place
Fifteen years old; awake with the sun, Tears sliding down her young face
Drifting in melody, sailing the theme, free in her musical place
The emotions of youth are so keen and so wild; they burn and they rage and they fly
Anger, sorrow, despair, joy; hard to contain, but then, why should you try
Intoxicating; heady and high; erotic, arousing, untamed, energising
She barely knows why; teenage tears for Miles; teenage tears for Miles;
Fifteen years old; entranced and amazed, tears flowing down her young face
Her cascading future is soon to emerge, and a life she’ll be blessed to embrace
The emotions of youth are so keen and so wild; they burn and they rage and they fly
Anger, sorrow, despair, joy; hard to contain, but then, why should you try
Intoxicating; heady and high; erotic, arousing, untamed, energising
She barely knows why; teenage tears for Miles; teenage tears for Miles
Intoxicating; heady and high; erotic, arousing, untamed, energising
She barely knows why; it simply entered her mind

Just Like Us
04:27
|
|||
|
All fired up and ready to go; a loving heart and a genuine glow
Magic future can’t go wrong
Sorry to leave but I can’t stay long; sorry to leave but I can’t stay long
Lady in red, man in black; casual acquaintance, hit the sack
Man says yes, girl says no;
ladders to climb and a place to go; ladders to climb and a place to go.
Good time party, run of the mill; ain’t got the energy without the pill
Ain’t got the energy to see me through, ain’t got the energy to stay with you.
Fashion statement: never eat; whole food junkie, secret sweet
No surprises, Lord above
Just like us, looking for love, Just like us, looking for love
So you’re all fired up and you’re ready to go; a loving heart and a genuine glow
No surprises, Lord above
Just like us, looking for love, Just like us, looking for love

Welcome To The World
04:47
|
|||
|
At last, I see; I’ve taken everything that life could throw at me
Clawed my way around Fortuna’s wheel, at the epicentre all will be revealed
Isis, greeting me; now we’re floating, perpetually free,
In shades of purple, green and blue, behold the mystery of one to twenty-two.
Welcome to the world you’ve waited for, you’ve always known that there was something more
The grace extends beyond your naked eye, an ever-changing, never-ending sky.
Welcome, welcome to the World, have you travelled a long way, was your journey hard?
Are you glad that you made it? I’m so glad that you made it
Take my hand and I’ll show you, Welcome to the World
Welcome, welcome to the World, take a good look around you, do you like what you see?
As the last chain slips from you, as the Oneness comes on you
We are everything, everywhere, welcome to the World
