[Old Man]

Wet bus stop

She's waiting

His car is warm and dry

[Pariah]

Breathe deep the gathering gloom

Watch lights fade from every room

Bed-sitter people look back and lament

Another day's useless energy spent

 

Impassioned lovers wrestle as one

Lonely man cries for love and has none

A new mother picks up and suckles her son

And senior citizens wish they were young

 

Cold-hearted orb that rules the night

Removes the colours from our sight

Red is grey, and yellow white

But we decide which is right

And which is an illusion

[Pariah]

You tell me that you've got everything you want
And your bird can sing
But you don't get me, you don't get me

You say you've seen Seven Wonders

And your bird is green
But you can't see me, you can't see me

When your prized possessions start to weigh you down
Look in my direction, I'll be 'round, I'll be 'round

When your bird is broken will it bring you down
You may be awoken, I'll be 'round, I'll be 'round

You tell me that you've heard every sound there is
And your bird can swing
But you can't hear me, you can't hear me

[Greywind]

Ain't got no regrets
I ain't losin' track of which way I'm going
I ain't gonna double back
Don't want no misplay, put on no display
An angel no, but I know my way, oh yeah, oh

I used to follow, yeah, that's true
But my following days are over
Now I just gotta follow through
And I remember what my father said
He said, "Son, life is simple, it's either cherry red or

Midnight blue, oh
Midnight blue, oh"

You were the restless one
And you did not care that
I was the trouble boy lookin' for a double dare
I won't apologize for the things I've done and said
But when I win your heart, I'm gonna paint it cherry red

I don't want to talk about it
What you do to me
I can't live without it
And you might think that it's much too soon
For us to go this far into the

Midnight blue, oh
It's midnight blue, oh

Now things could be different, that'd be a shame 'cause
I'm the one who can feel the sun right in the pouring rain
I won't say where and I don't know when
But soon there's gonna come a day baby, I'll be back again
Yeah, I'll be back for you, you see I'm savin' up my love

Midnight blue, oh
Into the midnight blue, oh
Into the midnight blue, oh
Can't leave this midnight blue, oh
Into the midnight blue, oh
Midnight blue, oh
Midnight blue, oh

[Greywind]

I been in a cave
For forty days
With only a spark
To light my way
I wanna give out
I wanna give in
This is our crime
This is our sin

But I still believe
I still believe
Through the shame
And the grief
Through the lies
Through the storms
Through the cries
And through the wars
Oh, I still believe

Flat on my back
Out at sea
Hopin' these waves
Don't cover me
Lord, I'm turned and tossed
Upon the waves
When the darkness comes
I feel the grave

But I still believe
I still believe
Through the cold
And the heat
Through the rain
Through the tears
Through the crowds
And through the cheers
Oh, I still believe

I'll march this road
I'll climb this hill
Down on my knees if I have to
I'll take my place
Up on this stage
I'll wait 'til the end of time
for you like everybody else

I'm out on my own
Walkin' the streets
Look at the faces
That I meet
I feel like I Like I want to go home
What do I feel
What do I know

But I still believe
I still believe
Through the shame
And through the grief
Through the heartache
Through the tears
Through the waiting
Through the years

For people like us
In places like this
We need all the hope
That we can get
Oh, I still believe

[Greywind]

I thought I knew you well
But all this time I could never tell
I let you get away
Haunts me every night and every day

You were the only one
The only friend that I counted on
How could I watch you walk away
I'd give anything to have you here today

But now I stand alone with my pride
And dream that you're still by my side

But that was yesterday
I had the world in my hands
But it's not the end of my world
Just a slight change of plans

That was yesterday
But today life goes on
No more hiding in yesterday
'Cause yesterday's gone

Love, my love I gave it all
Thought I saw the light
When I heard you call
Life that we both could share
Has deserted me
Left me in despair

But now I stand alone with my pride
Fighting back the tears I never let myself cry

But that was yesterday
Love was torn from my hands
But it's not the end of my world
Just a little hard to understand

That was yesterday
But today life goes on
You won't find me in yesterday's world
Now yesterday's gone

Goodbye yesterday
Now it's over and done
Still I hope somewhere deep in your heart
Yesterday will live on

[Greywind]

You tell me what you think I'm feelin'
You know why I do what I do
Why should you listen to a word I'm sayin'
when it's already so clear to you?
You tell me 'bout my bad intentions
You doubt the very things I hold true
I can no longer live with your misconceptions
Baby all I can say to you, is

That ain't love, I believe you've got the wrong emotion
That ain't love, at least it doesn't feel like love to me
As long as I say what you wanna hear
Do what you wanna do, be who you want me to be
You think that's love, well baby that ain't love to me

We've got to talk it over sometime
These feelings won't just disappear
I'm just gonna keep telling you what's on my mind
Even if it's not what you wanna hear
Oooh right now your world and mine are such different places
Through yours I wander lost and confused
And I feel like I'm speaking in a different language
And the only words I haven't used, are

That ain't love, I believe you've got the wrong emotion
That ain't love, at least it doesn't feel like love to me
As long as I say what you wanna hear
Do what you wanna do, be who you want me to be
You think that's love, well baby that ain't love to me

You keep tellin' me
You know a place where your life would be better
You're makin' plans long-range
But I don't know how you expect to get there
When you refuse to change

Oooh baby
That ain't love, I believe you've got the wrong emotion
That ain't love, at least it doesn't feel like love to me
As long as I say what you wanna hear
Do what you wanna do, be who you want me to be
You think that's love, well baby that ain't love to me

Ooh baby that ain't love
That ain't lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-love
That ain't love, oh no
Baby that ain't love, that ain't love
(That ain't love, that ain't love, oohoo
that ain't love, oohoo)

[Pariah]

There once was a man, his name was Magellan
A Portuguese skipper, the girls found him cute
He sailed with five ships to find the East Indies

Then come back to Spain with a bounty of loot

Whoopie-ti-yi-yo, O happy Magellan!

Starting your journey with hardly a care
Whoopie-ti-yi-yo, strong brave Magellan

You'll find the East Indies, you just don't know where

They crossed the Atlantic and spotted a country
Magellan said, "It's the East Indies at last!"

But then someone shouted, "Hey, that's Argentina!"
Magellan got cranky and chopped down the mast

Whoopie-ti-yi-yo, settle down Magellan

Put down that axe, there's no time to despair
Whoopie-ti-yi-yo, keep trying Magellan

You'll find the East Indies, you just don't know where

A great storm arose in the mighty Pacific

The five little ships were diminished to three
At last land was sighted, Magellan was happy

But then someone shouted, "Hey, that's Chile"

Whoopie-ti-yi-yo, cheer up Magellan

Check out your map and don't tear out your hair
Whoopie-ti-yi-yo, keep trying Magellan

You'll find the East Indies, you just don't know where

It took them five months but they crossed the Pacific
They spotted a land that was dotted with palms

Magellan proclaimed "Yes, that's the East Indies!"
But then someone shouted, "Hey, I think that's Guam!"

Ay-ay-ay-ay, Oops Magellan
Your fun little journey's become a nightmare
Whoopie-ti-yi-yo, keep trying Magellan

You'll find the East Indies, you just don't know where

They sailed due West to the Philippine Islands

Magellan was pleased as the natives grew near
But then someone shouted, "I think they're attacking!"
Magellan said, "What?" and got hit by a spear

Whoopie-ti-yi-yo, farewell Magellan!

You almost made it, it's really not fair
Whoopie-ti-yi-yo, O Ghost of Magellan

the East Indies Islands were right over there

[death tribble]

'Cause darling I'm a nightmare dressed like a daydream

[death tribble]

Something's gotten hold of my heart
Keeping my soul and my senses apart
Something's gotten into my life
Cutting it's way through my dreams like a knife
Turning me up, and turning me down
Making me smile, and making me frown

In a world that was war
I once lived in a time that was peace and no troubles at all
But then you came my way
And a feeling of unknown shook my heart,
made me want you to stay
All of my nights, and all of my days

(yeah I gotta tell you now)
Something's gotten hold of my hand
Dragging my soul to a beautiful land
Yeah, something has invaded my night
Painting my sleep with a colour so bright
Changing the grey, and changing the blue
Scarlet for me, and scarlet for you

I got to know if this is the real thing
I got to know it's making my heart sing
Wo-hoo-o-ye-e-e-e-e e-
You smile and I am lost for a lifetime
Each minute spent with you is the right time
Every hour, every day
You touch me and my mind goes astray, yeah
Baby, baby

Something's gotten hold of my hand
Dragging my soul to a beautiful land
Something has invaded my night
Painting my sleep with a colour so bright
Changing the grey, and changing the blue
Scarlet for me, and scarlet for you

[death tribble]

If you don't like what you see here
Nobody wants to take you prisoner
So let me make it nice and clear dear
The exit is right there
I don't mean to be rude dude
But you'd better change your attitude

I don't like what I see here

You're all invited to the party
You know you didn't have to come
No rotten apple gonna spoil my fun

If you don't like what you see here
Get the funk out
We won't try to force feed you
Get the funk out

[death tribble]

Stand back !
Stand back !

 

What are those dogs doing sniffing at my feet
They're on to something, picking up
Picking up this heat, this heat

 

Give me steam
And how you feel to make it real
Real as anything you've seen
Get a life with this dreamer's dream

 

You know your culture from your trash
You know your plastic from your cash
When I lose sight of the track
You know the way back
But I know you

 

You know your stripper from your paint
You know your sinner from your saint
Whenever heaven's doors are shut
You kick them open but
I know you

 

Give me steam
And how you feel to make it real
Real as any place you've been
Get a life with the dreamer's dream

 

Stand back !
Stand back !

Can't you see I've lost control I'm getting indiscreet
You're moving in so close 'til I'm picking up
Picking up this heat, this heat

[death tribble]

Fun, fun, fun

Me, me, me

Take, take, take

James Dean posters on their wall
(Five killed in the car-crash)
What a sad little end to it all
(Five killed in the car-crash)
Last seen having lots of fun
(Five dumped in a river)
Barefoot and on the run
(Five dumped in a river)

 

I am man from Scandinavia
I want a guy in the London area
He must be crazy and Sagittarius
'Cause I'm Leo and I'm hilarious

 

Fun, fun, fun
(Jeremy)
Me, me, me
(Fifi)
Take, take, take
(Jeremy)
Fun, fun, fun

 

Last seen drinking Daddy's own beer
(Five poisoned over dinner)
Singing Abba's, 'Mamma Mia'
(Five poisoned over dinner)
Drop dead watching Thunder birds fly
(Five get over excited)
Poster on their wall says, 'Why?'
(Five get over excited)

 

I am guy from Camden Town

My hair is curly but I gel it down
My clothes are black but my bread is brown
I'm really into early Motown

 

Fun, fun, fun
(Jeremy)
Me, me, me
(Fifi)
Take, take, take
(Jeremy)
Fun, fun, fun

 

Feigning concern, a conservative pastime
Makes you feel doubtful right from the start
The expression she pulls is exactly like last time
You've got to conclude she just hasn't a heart

[death tribble]

The other day I saw you walking
you looked as pretty as a peach
you looked so near
but yet somehow, you're out of reach

I could change the world
if I had you
I could change the world
if I had you

My daddy told me not to worry
he said "son it always comes
to he who waits"
but as I wait I fear sometimes
"oh, no! it's too late"

I could change the world
if I had you
I could change the world
if I had you

I could change the world
if I had you
I could change the world
if I had you

[death tribble]

Come all without, come all within
You'll not see nothing like the mighty Quinn
Come all without, come all within
You'll not see nothing like the mighty Quinn

 

Everybody's building ships and boats
Some are building monuments
Others jotting down notes
Everybody's in despair
Every girl and boy
But when Quinn the Eskimo gets here
Everybody's gonna jump for joy

 

Come all without, come all within
You'll not see nothing like the mighty Quinn

 

I like to go just like the west, I like my sugar sweet
But jumping queues and making haste
Just ain't my cup of meat
Everyone's beneath the trees feeding pigeons on a limb
But when Quinn the Eskimo gets here
All the pigeons gonna run to him

 

Come all without, come all within
You'll not see nothing like the mighty Quinn
Come all without, come all within
You'll not see nothing like the mighty Quinn

 

Let me do what I wanna do, I can't decide at all
Just tell me where to put it
And I'll tell you who to call
Nobody can get no sleep, there's someone on everyone's toes
But when Quinn the Eskimo gets here
Everybody's gonna want to doze

 

Come all without, come all within
You'll not see nothing like the mighty Quinn
Come all without, come all within
You'll not see nothing like the mighty Quinn
Come all without, come all within
You'll not see nothing like the mighty Quinn

[death tribble]

And so the the story begins

City dweller, successful fella
Thought to himself oops I've got a lot of money
I'm caught in a rat race terminally
I'm a professional cynic but my heart's not in it
I'm paying the price of living life at the limit
Caught up in the centuries anxiety
It preys on him, he's getting thin

He lives in a house, a very big house in the country
Watching afternoon repeats and the food he eats in the country
He takes all manner of pills and piles up analyst bills in the country
It's like an animal farm lot's of rural charm in the country

He's got morning glory, life's a different story
Everything going jackanory, in touch with his own mortality
He's reading balzac, knocking back prozac
It's a helping hand that makes you feel wonderfully bland
Oh it's the centuries remedy
For the faint at heart, a new start

He lives in a house, a very big house in the country
He's got a fog in his chest so he needs a lot of rest in the country
He doesn't drink smoke laugh, takes herbal baths in the country
Says she's come to no harm on an animal farm in the country

In the country, in the country

Blow, blow me out I am so sad, I don't know why
Blow, blow me out I am so sad, I don't know why

He lives in a house, a very big house in the country
Watching afternoon repeats and the food he eats in the country
He takes all manner of pills and piles up analyst bills in the country
Oh, it's like an animal farm lot's of rural charm in the country

He lives in a house, a very big house in the country
He's got a fog in his chest so he needs a lot of rest in the country
He doesn't drink smoke laugh, takes herbal baths in the country
And she's come to no harm on an animal farm in the country

If you, if you could return, don't let it burn, don't let it fade.

I'm sure I'm not being rude, but it's just your attitude,
It's tearing me apart, It's ruining everything.

I swore, I swore I would be true, and honey, so did you.
So why were you holding her hand ? Is that the way we stand ?
Were you lying all the time ? Was it just a game to you ?

But I'm in so deep. You know I'm such a fool for you.
You got me wrapped around your finger, ah, ha, ha.
Do you have to let it linger ? Do you have to, do you have to,
Do you have to let it linger ?

Oh, I thought the world of you.
I thought nothing could go wrong,
But I was wrong. I was wrong.
If you, if you could get by, trying not to lie,
Things wouldn't be so confused and I wouldn't feel so used,
But you always really knew, I just wanna be with you.

But I'm in so deep. You know I'm such a fool for you.
You got me wrapped around your finger, ah, ha, ha.
Do you have to let it linger ? Do you have to, do you have to,
Do you have to let it linger ?

And I'm in so deep. You know I'm such a fool for you.
You got me wrapped around your finger, ah, ha, ha.
Do you have to let it linger ? Do you have to, do you have to,
Do you have to let it linger ?

You know I'm such a fool for you.
You got me wrapped around your finger, ah, ha, ha.
Do you have to let it linger ? Do you have to, do you have to,
Do you have to let it linger ?

I'm singing in the rain
Just singing in the rain
What a glorious feelin'
I'm happy again

 

I'm laughing at clouds
So dark up above
The sun's in my heart
And I'm ready for love

 

Let the stormy clouds chase
Everyone from the place
Come on with the rain
I've a smile on my face

 

I walk down the lane
With a happy refrain
Just singin',
Singin' in the rain

Dancin' in the rain
Dee-ah dee-ah dee-ah
Dee-ah dee-ah dee-ah
I'm happy again !
I'm singin' and dancin' in the rain !

I'm dancin' and singin' in the rain...

I went down to the station, just to take a ride.

I went down to the station, just to take a ride.

Found myself on a flatcar, yesterday behind.

 

Pullin' out from the platform, there was no brass band.

I pulled out from the platform, nobody raised a hand.

And there were no tears of regret from my runaway train.

Train, train, train, train.

 

Got no sand in my pocket, you know I ain't tied down.

Ain't no sand in my pocket, never do sit down.

I'm just a cross-tie walker, where the freight trains run.

Run, run, run, run.

 

If you see me a-comin', don't you waste my time.

If you see me a-comin', don't you waste my time.

'Cause there's more miles between us than the Santa Fe line.

Run, run, run, run.

[Cancer]

[Ternaugh]

Do you still keep paper flowers in the bottom drawer with your Belgian lace
taking them out every year to watch the colors fade away?
Do you still believe in fairy tales, in battlements of shining castles
safe from the dragons that lie beneath the hill?
Are you still a Russian princess rescued by a gypsy dancer
to anyone who'll listen is that a story you still tell?
You live a life of fantasy, your diary romantic fiction.
Can't you see it's hard for me, can you see what I am trying to say?
It's a gentleman's excuse me so I'll take on step to the side.
Can you get it inside your head I'm tired of dancing?
For every one step forward I'm taking two steps back.
Can you get it inside your head I'm tired of dancing?
I know you still like old fashioned waltzes
your reflection in the mirror that you flirt with as you glide across the floor
but if I told you the music's over would you want to hear
that your dance card is empty that there's no-one really there?
Do you still believe in Santa Claus, there's a millionaire
looking for your front door with a key to a life that you'd never understand?
And all I have to offer is the love that I have, it's freely given
you'll see its value when you see what I've tried to say.
It's a gentleman's excuse me so I'll take on step to the side.
Can you get it inside your head I'm tired of dancing?
For every one step forward we're taking two steps back.
Can you get it inside your head that from this one step forward
there's no turning back?
Can you get it inside your head I'm tired of dancing?
We're finished dancing.

[Ternaugh]

This appeared as a moral dilemma ‘cause at first
It was weird though I swore to eliminate the worst
Of the plague that devoured humanity it’s true
I was vague on the “how” – so how can it be that you
Have shown me the light

 

It’s a brand new day
And the sun is high
All the birds are singing
That you’re gonna die
How I hesitated
Now I wonder why
It’s a brand new day

 

All the time that you beat me unconscious I forgive
All the crimes incomplete – listen, honestly I’ll live
Mr. Cool, Mr. Right, Mr. Know-It-All is through
Now the future’s so bright and I owe it all to you
Who showed me the light

 

It’s a brand new me
I got no remorse
Now the water’s rising
But I know the course
I’m gonna shock the world
Gonna show Bad Horse
It’s a brand new day

 

And Penny will see the evil me
Not a joke, not a dork, not a failure
And she may cry but her tears will dry
When I hand her the keys to a shiny new Australia

 

It’s a brand new day
Yeah the sun is high
All the angels sing
Because you’re gonna die
Go ahead and laugh
Yeah I’m a funny guy
Tell everyone goodbye…
It’s a brand new day

[Ternaugh]

Action!

I had a dream on a back lot
and saw my life like a long shot
of smiling faces in a picture parade
of all the stills from the films that you made
that we would see in the Essoldo
after drinking coffee at the Giocondo

Elstree, remember me?
I had a part in a B-Movie
I played a man from history.
Elstree, ah look at me
oh-o-oh
now I work for the BBC
oh-o-oh
life is not what it used to be

I took no dives in the fight scene
I had a stuntman, keep my suit clean
There’s no technology to fake-up a song
They stop the orchestra if you get it wrong

Elstree, remember me?
I had a part in a B-Movie
I played a man from history.
Elstree, ah look at me
oh-o-oh
now I work for the BBC
oh-o-oh
life is not what it used to be -

Elstree

They made a field into a war zone
I beat the enemy on my own
all the bullets just went over my head
there’s no reality and no one dead, in

Elstree, remember me?
I had a part in a B-Movie
I played a man from history

Elstree,
Oh-o-oh
Oh-o-oh

Elstree
Oh-o-oh
Oh-o-oh

Elstree

Elstree
Oh-o-oh
Oh-o-oh

Elstree

Cut!

[Greywind]

The clouds prepare for battle
In the dark and brooding silence
Bruised and sullen storm clouds
Have the light of day obscured
Looming low and ominous
In twilight premature
Thunder heads are rumbling
In a distant overture...

All at once, the clouds are parted
Light streams down in bright unbroken beams...

Follow men's eyes as they look to the skies
The shifting shafts of shining weave the fabric of their dreams...

[death tribble]

The power of love is a curious thing
Make a one man weep, make another man sing
Change a hawk to a little white dove
More than a feeling that's the power of love

Tougher than diamonds, rich like cream
Stronger and harder than a bad girl's dream
Make a bad one good make a wrong one right
Power of love that keeps you home at night

You don't need money, don't take fame
Don't need no credit card to ride this train
It's strong and it's sudden and it's cruel sometimes
But it might just save your life
That's the power of love
That's the power of love

First time you feel it, it might make you sad
Next time you feel it it might make you mad
But you'll be glad baby when you've found
That's the power makes the world go round

And it don't take money, don't take fame
Don't need no credit card to ride this train
It's strong and it's sudden it can be cruel sometimes
But it might just save your life

They say that all in love is fair
Yeah, but you don't care
But you know what to do
When it gets hold of you
And with a little help from above
You feel the power of love
You feel the power of love
