Once We're Gone
03:16
|
|||
Would you say we’re born to this life on our own
And still claim we leave
Leave the same way
With no ties who then can miss you
You’re ever so lonely
Ever so lonely
So you stand as tall as a man can be seen
But your strength grows
Grows with your words
At no time showing your weakness
You’re ever so lonely
Ever so lonely
Ever so lonely
You’re ever so lonely
And you know all the answers
Now on no one do you rely
Just that fear is always with you now
You’re ever so lonely
You’re ever so lonely
Once we’re gone
Ever so lonely
You’re ever so lonely
Some say we’re born to this life on our own
And still claim we leave
Leave the same way
With no ties who then can miss you
You’re ever so lonely
Ever so lonely
Once we’re gone
Ever so lonely
Ever so lonely
Once we’re gone
Ever so lonely
Ever so lonely
Once we’re gone
It’s already over
Once we’re gone
Once we’re gone
It’s already over
And you know all the answers
Now on no one do you rely
Just that fear is always with you now
You’re ever so lonely
You’re ever so lonely
Once we’re gone
Ever so lonely
You’re ever so lonely

Limehouse to Lechlade
The tide is against us
And all that we see is rubble go by
Faces staring out at us
Heavy-hearted loneliness
Does no one have faith in Greenwich Mean Time
People only understand
Life as they see first hand
Why they see so little who knows
Oh I hope they’re all enjoying the show
Let your god bless you
And the hell that he puts you through
Let the gods bless you
Whilst life deals out what is due
And I won’t deny it
Refuse now to fight it
The war and the grieving
The colours they believe in
But I won’t deny it
Refuse now to fight it
The blind and the bated
The fallen and the hatred
The corporate transition
Cull of tradition
All they’ll say is
Nothing has changed
No complaints
It’s simply the same
One thing’s certain
Everyone’s equally to blame
Wargrave to Iffley
The tide is behind us
And all that we see is trouble ‘longside
Faces staring in at us
Heavy eyes of loneliness
Does no one believe in value of kind
People only understand
Life as they see first hand
Why they see so little who knows
Oh I hope you’re all enjoying the show
And I won’t deny it
Refuse now to fight it
The war and the grieving
The colours you believe in
But I won’t deny it
Refuse now to fight it
The blind and the bated
The fallen and the hatred
The corporate transition
Cull of tradition
By world domination
The greed and inflation
The lack of compassion
Is anything happening
All they’ll say is
Nothing can change
No complaints
Exactly the same
One thing’s certain
Everyone’s equally to blame
Limehouse to Lechlade
The tide is against us
And all that I see is rubble go by

Climbing Frame
03:07
|
|||
You say you’re an open book
But no one can deny
You hide inside the cover
And I
I’ll try just to take a look
But each time that I do
We find it an endeavour
And I’ll
I’ll say that’s more than enough for anyone
But you’ll claim there’s more than enough in everyone
Can I say what’s more than enough for anyone
We’ll smile ‘cause we know
The climbing frame on one another
And it’s true there are certain books
That are finely adorned
Bound by gold and leather
And they
They’ll claim the eternal truth
But can often incite
Fire and stormy weather
And they’ll
They’ll say that’s more than enough for anyone
But you’ll claim there’s more than enough in everyone
Can I say what’s more than enough for anyone
We’ll smile ‘cause we know
The climbing frame on one another
Climbing frame on one another
So every page in any book
Is carefully numbered
Take a look
For no one could imply
They’re hard to read
Abbreviation cannot hide
The depth within this storyline
That clearly goes to show
What’s part of me
You’re part of me
You say you’re an open book
But no one can deny the climbing frame

Let Me Down Slowly
03:54
|
|||
Don’t tell me that
Don’t tell me that it’s over
I’m feeling like
I just cannot go there
Let me down slowly
Let me down slowly
Let me down slowly
Oh so I can breathe
And from this day
Your words they will haunt me
It’s hard to face that you do not want me
Let me down slowly
Let me down slowly
Let me down slowly
Oh so I can breathe
‘Cause this isn’t me
This isn’t me
This isn’t me who stares and weeps
So what’s become
Of the dream we had chosen
It seems to me
There’s so much unspoken
Let me down slowly
Let me down slowly
Let me down slowly
Oh so I can breathe
‘Cause this isn’t me
This isn’t me
This isn’t me who stares and weeps
And weeps
Let me down slowly
Let me down slowly
Let me down slowly
Oh so I can breathe
Even if a promise is broken
Please tell me that
The future is open

Fire & Ashes
02:52
|
|||
Fire and ashes are all that's left
From the trail of passion with some regrets
But there's little question that we would go there again
Wild with fever through days of leisure
In hot pursuit of our carnal pleasure and
There’s no question that we should try it again
There's more to this life than we're living
I know that you wrote that somewhere
The more that you try not to give in
It only beckons you
It simply beckons you there
Fascination in equal measure
There’s nothing purer and no one better than
All I’ll say is that well we probably should
There's more to this life than we're living
I know that you wrote that somewhere
The more that you try not to give in
It only beckons you
It simply beckons you there
There's more to this life than we're living
I know that you wrote that somewhere
The more that you try not to give in
It only beckons you
It simply beckons you there

Picture
03:04
|
|||
At that moment you stop and I see your face
Just a second and our eyes are engaged
Can we orbit the earth and evoke the sun
Through this parody we’ve all become one
I have a picture got a melody
All that I need now is the promise that you’ll follow me
I have a picture got a melody
All that I need now is the promise that you’ll come with me
As our feet leave the floor and we climb so high
Looking upwards you can scale the sky
Many follow the stars but who guides the moon
Ever mindful it could all end too soon
I have a picture got a melody
All that I need now is the promise that you’ll follow me
I have a picture got a melody
All that I need now is the promise that you’ll come with me
See you taking the stage into outer space
You’re bewildered but belong in this place
And we come down to earth through a blaze of light
How’s it possible to feel so alive
I have a picture got a melody
All that I need now is the promise that you’ll follow me
I have a picture got a melody
All that I need now is the promise that you’ll come with me
And we’re strangers fighting thoughts that’s all
Who would ever think our lives could come together
We’re strangers fighting thoughts that’s all
Who would ever know we’d be this good together
And we’re strangers fighting thoughts that’s all
Who would ever think our lives could come together
We’re strangers fighting thoughts that’s all
Who would ever know we’d be this good together
I have a picture got a melody
All that I need now is the promise that you’ll follow me
I have a picture got a melody
All that I need now is the promise that you’ll come with me

No Money
02:46
|
|||
I’ve got no money for fun love or anyone
Got no money and there’s little I can do
You know there’s people complaining
Believe me I’ve been saving
But there’s no money
Oh I’ve got no money
No there’s no money
Oh I’m out of money
And there’s nothing in life I’d rather do
Than spend all my time and my earnings on you
It seems that your friends don’t see that’s true
All that they want to believe
Is it’s spent on debauchery
But I’ve got no money for fun love or anyone
Got no money and there’s nothing I can do
You know there’s people complaining
Believe me I’ve been saving
But there’s no money
Oh I’ve got no money
No there’s no money
Oh I’m out of money
And I
I pity my life’s just getting through
Nobody sees things the way that I do
People would laugh if they all knew
All that they want to believe
Is it’s spent on debauchery
But I’ve got no money for fun love or anyone
Got no money and there’s nothing I can do
You know there’s people complaining
Believe me I’ve been saving
But there’s no money
Oh I’ve got no money
Oh there’s no money
Oh I’m out of money
And I’m just getting through
As if I knew
My neck’s on the line
So give me some time
All that they want to believe
Is it’s spent on debauchery
But I’ve got no money for fun love or anyone
Got no money and there’s nothing I can do
You know there’s people complaining
Believe me I’ve been saving
But there’s no money
Oh I’ve got no money
No there’s no money
Oh there’s little money
And I’ve no money
Oh I’ve just no money
No there’s no money
And I’m out of money
And there’s no money
No more money

Key To Life
04:33
|
|||
Tell me do you remember
How we felt that day
Worried about the future
I held you in my arms so tightly
‘Til the anguish passed away
When you find life too hard
Then promise me you’ll call
Even the dead of night when
No one is around to help
You have my word that I’ll be here
There is a key to life
Give it time
It’s the moment when you’re truly defined
Living through a changing world
Even so
The secret is belief in your goal
Maybe once even twice
But it’s so much of our life
And If we don’t try together
Then we lose the way
It’s not that we’re bound forever
Knowing that you’re loved is all the strength you need to face the day
There is a key to life
Give it time
It’s the moment when you’re truly defined
Living through a changing world
Even so
The secret is belief in your goal
Maybe once even twice
But it’s so much of our life
The feeling’s so strong
Taking us over
Burning brighter
Through every emotion
Climbing higher
And making us whole
One day you’ll face the world
And not know what to say
Believe me you have the answer
It’s made you a fighter
Braver stronger
Taking us over
Burning brighter
Through every emotion
Climbing higher
And making us whole
There is a key to life
Give it time
It’s the moment when you’re truly defined
Living through a changing world
Even so
The secret is belief in your goal
There is a key to life
Give it time
There’s a key to life
Give it time
I tell you there is a key to life
Making you whole
Making you whole
It’s making you whole

Hard To Keep Faith
03:41
|
|||
Hope is alive
And the world shines through everyone’s eyes
As we all make our way
Through the dark nights that battle and rage
It’s hard to keep faith
Hard to keep faith
It’s hard when the world shuts the door in your face
Nobody’s saying they want it their way
It’s just through these times
Well it’s hard to keep faith
So we belong
Though the wise shy from tagging along
And the road doesn’t stop
When it feels like we’ve got to get off
I’m just saying
It’s hard to keep faith
Hard to keep faith
It’s hard when the world shuts the door in your face
Nobody’s saying they want it their way
It’s just through these times
Well it’s hard to keep faith
Hard to keep faith
It’s hard to keep faith
It’s hard to keep faith
When everyone just stands in your way
It’s impossible to know what to say
And even if you want it you’ll pray
It’s hard to keep
Hard to keep faith
It’s hard to keep
Hard to keep faith
It’s hard to keep
Hard to keep faith
Hard to keep faith
When everyone just stands in your way
It’s impossible to know what to say
Hard to keep faith

Must We Say Goodnight
03:50
|
|||
Late walking you home
Taking our time
Your arm in mine
I’m proud that way
Nothing to say
We’re on our own
Thinking our thoughts
Sometimes mine stray
Then we reach home
Taking my hand
You kiss me twice
Then turn away
And then I feel
Something inside me try to say
Must we say
Say goodnight
When everything it seems alright
Can I stay
Stay tonight
Only want to hold you tight
As the time fades
Moments don’t last
Weeks turn to months
And years fly fast
Sharing a smile
Happy to laugh
Feeling so sure
Upon our path
Time takes its toll
As we all know
There comes a day
When we must go
And as we part
Our breaking hearts
Finally ask
Must we say
Say goodnight
When everything it seems alright
Can I stay
Stay tonight
Only want to hold you tight
Promise me we’ll be alright
As we stroll home
Everything comes to life
As we stroll home
Everything comes alive
As we stroll home
Everything comes to life
As we stroll home
Everything comes alive
As we stroll home
Everything comes to life
As we stroll home
Everything comes alive
Lighting a fire that will last and will not ever fade
Knowing each moment that’s there could be taken away
Must we say
Say goodnight
When everything it seems alright
Can I stay
Stay tonight
Only want to hold you tight

It Ends Here
02:35
|
|||
It ends here
The end is here
We can’t deny it’s blown our minds
It ends here
The end is here
And it seems to me that’s no surprise
Here we have no more time
There are no more answers
None to find
In many ways
We’ve grown tired of trying
‘Cause you’ve worn us down with all your lying
It ends here
The end is here
And it seems to me that’s no surprise
So in a way we’ve been taught to hide
The unpleasant side of man’s desire
From what I see
We cannot decide
What is good of man
Or monstrous crimes
It ends here
The end is here
We can’t deny it’s blown our minds
It ends here
The end is here
And it seems to me that’s no surprise

Women On My Mind
03:52
|
|||
I’ve known more women than I’ll ever remember
And like all women they were oversubscribed
But there’s no winning with the constant reminder
Of so many women on my mind
I’ve seen more sorrow than I ever expected
And could easily wallow through my tragic demise
But there’s no suffering with the clear recollection
Of so many women on my mind
You don’t know because you were not there
And I won’t hear you criticise
Everyone so nice
There were times when I had to rest for a moment
And were days when I saw two at a time
But there’s no problem just as long as they’re happy
With so many women on my mind
You don’t know because you were not there
And I won’t hear you criticise everyone so nice
As I grow old I promise you I will not be lonely
Despite all I know I question if I’ll die
For there’s no resting with the clear recollection
Of so many women on my mind

Cornerstone
03:38
|
|||
This house used to be a home
Used to be alive
Used to be the cornerstone of our life
Though the world has changed one thing remains
There lies a cornerstone
And wherever I go I keep searching for the cornerstone
Cornerstone of my life
And wherever we roam we’ll be searching for the cornerstone
Cornerstone of our life
It’s funny how we try to work out the faults and the reasons as time passes by
So the world retires
The sun bursts on fire behind a turning globe
With the day now gone
Where do we belong
Unless we find our own
And wherever I go I keep searching for the cornerstone
Cornerstone of my life
But wherever we roam we’ll be searching for the cornerstone
Cornerstone of our life
It’s funny how we try to work out the faults and the reasons as time passes by
And wherever I go I keep searching for the cornerstone
Cornerstone of my life
But wherever we roam we’ll be searching for the cornerstone
Cornerstone of our life
It’s funny how we try to work out the faults and the reasons as time passes by
This house used to be a home
Used to be alive
Used to be the cornerstone of our life
Though the world has changed one thing remains
There lies a cornerstone

I’m sorry you’re leaving
It’s hard for us all
I just want to tell you
Of times we smiled through life and
Did we not go all of the way
Did we laugh through it all
Did we climb over mountains
So fearless we fought
Did we seek for adventure
Did we find what we thought
I don’t want to lose you
We’re friends after all
I promise I’ll think of
The times we smiled through life and
Did we not go all of the way
Did we laugh through it all
Did we climb over mountains
So fearless we fought
Did we seek for adventure
Did we find what we thought
Are all the things we never choose to do in life
And all the things we want to do the same
Especially what we need to find in us
Before we know we seem to lose our way
Put down your anger
Don’t rise to it all
Let us be happy
Through times we smiled through life and
Did we not go all of the way
Did we laugh through it all
Did we climb over mountains
So fearless we fought
Did we seek for adventure
Did we find what we thought
Did we seek for adventure
It’s only what we ever want to do in life
It’s only what we ever want to do in life
Seek for adventure
