Time,
Used to run to catch up with me,
I was quicker than it could be,
I raced ahead of her
I'd,
I'd got better things to do,
Than be dragged down by a second or two,
She was too slow for me
And now it's calling me,
And I know to God it's surely calling you
Time,
You gave some for me and her,
And never did it occur,
I couldn't count on you
And now it's eating me,
And I know to God it's surely eating you
Time,
Why do you let our wounds all heal,
Then wait in the night to steal,
The hours gave on loan
Time,
You never really were my friend,
You started all this for it to end,
With prayers to hold back time
And now it's killing me,
And I know to God it's surely killing you
Time,
I want to hold back time,
I want to claw back time
I want to turn back time
I want to stop time

I walked a lonely mile,
With you just whizzing through my head,
I could not sleep that night,
A graveyard exchanged for a bed
I thought can this thing be,
And would I live to see,
The day that you'd fall for me
I had a million dreams,
All with you here by my side,
How could I make this real,
Before the hope of you would die?
I behaved irrationally,
To make reality,
The day that you'd fall for me
And what was I to do,
As old time took me through,
A journey in an unknown sea?
Thank God that fate decreed,
And let me live to see,
The day that you'd fall for me
And now I look at you,
I think of all the years gone by,
That spell you cast on me,
It's still the reason why
I wish sincerely,
That all tomorrows be,
The day that you'd fall for me,
The day that you’d fall for me,
The day that you’d fall for me

Gary's Gang
04:11
|

|
I was in Gary's gang,
It made a man out of me,
Under dimmed stock room light,
He showed me what I could be
We were a force, a shield of steel,
Against a world outside,
We stopped the storm, we doubted the fire,
And we changed the tide
When you're in Gary's gang,
Alliance takes pride of place,
We'd drink and smoke and start a fight,
Ambition un-chased
But then one day, they told us all,
Find a new career,
Get out of town and sling your hook,
You're not welcome around here
Like desperados in the desert,
Like lost souls in the night,
The Devil found work for our idle hands,
And Gary's gang disappeared from sight
I was in Gary's gang, I was just 17,
I think about it from time to time,
And the road in between
But if one day from afar, I heard Gary's call
I'd down my tools and take up arms,
In line for Gary I'd fall
Like desperados ...
I was in Gary's gang

Roving Heart
04:20

Got a girl with a roving heart,
And when it roves it tears me apart,
Pulls me to pieces / Cuts me in two,
Got me dancing on a string,
She plays the tune and she makes me sing,
To her song, she rules OK
The girl with a roving heart / The girl with a roving heart
She blows a kiss as she walks away,
Says she'll see me some other day,
And I'll be waiting, for her to come home,
And when she's back I'll be her refrain,
Until she wants to rove again,
That's the way it goes
And she goes
The girl with the roving heart / The girl with the roving heart
I know you think that I deserve better,
Sometimes I think what you think is true,
She takes me on a ride and I let her,
A one way trip to nowhere,
That's where I'm going to
She blows a kiss as she walks away,
Says she'll see me some other day,
And I'll be waiting, for her to come home,
And when she's back I'll be her refrain,
Until she wants to rove again,
That's the way it goes,
And she goes
The girl with roving heart / The girl with the roving heart
I know you think I deserve better...
Got a girl with a roving heart ...

Uneven Ground
04:40
|
|||
|
My feet they ache from this uneven ground,
But the future's there and its waiting to be found,
When we reach the border,
We'll put our heads down,
My feet they'll rest from this uneven ground
I know that paradise isn't there,
I'll settle for some safety and some care,
So we can sleep easier,
With gentler sounds,
My body shakes on this uneven ground
Remember our dreams now baby,
Keep them alive now baby,
Hold them tight as you close your eyes,
The worst is over baby,
It's all in the past now baby,
When we wake, we'll see a new sun rise
When we left that bruised and battered town,
We were lost but we thought that we'd be found,
But we're not from here,
They say we don't belong,
We are not for this uneven ground
They've tore down the shanty and we're gone,
Nothing left to do but keeping on,
We're someone else's problem,
We are nowhere bound,
My heart it breaks on this uneven ground
If you did walk upon uneven ground,
And your feet were tied and your soul was wrapped and bound,
Would you keep moving? Would you sleep sound?
Would your faith quake on uneven ground?
Would your faith quake on uneven ground?
Would your faith quake on uneven ground?

Afraid Of The Dark
04:12
|

|
Why can't you see,
How fragile we are?
Why don't you know, we all carry scars?
We are not machines,
Not just flesh and bone,
The need to touch, is gently carved, into our souls
Why do you think our worth is efficiency?
And conditioned responses?
There's more of us to see,
You can wear a suit,
But when the suit is wearing you,
You've lost the plot, missed the point,
There's nothing more to do
Who's afraid of the dark?
We're all afraid of the dark,
We're scared of lightening, shadows, God and sea,
And midnight in the park,
We need to hold hands,
Just to get us through,
'Cause when you are afraid of the dark,
There’s nothing more to do,
Who’s afraid of the dark?
The tyrant's not in the castle,
He's behind tinted glass and steel,
He believes that the measure of a man,
Is in how less he can feel,
What are we now?
What shall we become?
As they take away all signs of life,
We’re uncomfortably numb
Who's afraid of the dark ...
Who’s afraid of the dark ...

See My Face
03:08
|
|||
|
I was there in the early years
Your doubts put in their place,
And though you know only real is real,
You heard my voice,
You felt my touch,
You saw my face
All at mine in the back yard,
This growing matriarchy,
If I'd have know this years ago,
My troubles packed,
Would have washed out to sea
“You’re a lucky boy” I sang to you,
Though you know that anyway,
The fire’s glow caresses you,
As I go on my way
What's happened to this town I love?
I don't recognise this place,
Couldn't find where I was born,
But heard your voice,
Felt your touch,
Saw your face
“You're a lucky boy” I sang to you ...
When you're staring up into the sky,
On some midnight star chase,
The city's glow may mask galaxies,
You'll hear my voice,
Feel my touch,
See my face
Hear my voice
Feel my touch
See my face

I Will Be With You
04:41
|

Around the sun / That's where I'll meet with you,
When day is done / That's when I'll be with you
And we will be
What we will be
A Paris street / We'll walk to Chartier
The food is cheap / The waiters they don't care
And we can be
What we can be
And when the last song's played,
And its ending fades,
I will be with you,
And when it's turned to air,
You will feel me there,
I will be with you
Caught in the Silver Web / Not wanting to break free
Wading in the deep of a daring sea,
And we shall be,
What we shall be
And when the last song's played ...
And I will cling to hope / Clasp its thorny flower
I will be with you
And when the sun it dims / In that final hour
I will be with you
Near the hungry waves / Where land takes its fate
By the quarry pool / Eyes reflecting slate,
And we will see
What we will see
And when the last song’s played ...
And I will cling to hope ...
I will be with you
With you
With you
With you

Run Away To Nowhere
04:33
|
|||
|
If the word's as you say,
A satellite-like stage,
Then let's trip out the trap door and leave the rest to play,
If the world's a bear cage,
I'm out of here with you
And we'll look them in the eyes
There's more to life than this life,
There is a better side,
Where the grass is greener,
Where you and me can find,
Some seeds of inspiration,
We'll plant and watch them grow
And we'll stare them in the eyes
And run away to nowhere
Across the salty sea,
Make a new beginning
'Cause now it's you and me
Predicting lines on a late show,
We'll be a cultured pair,
The new world's finer things, were made for us to share,
Let's contemplate our escape,
Screw this human zoo
And we'll spit them in the eyes
And runaway to nowhere ...
And I see stars in the sky,
Are they shining for you and me?
And I have pocket full of hope,
But not much more for you and me
Let's run away to nowhere...

I dreamt in a sun burning / I couldn't see it's end,
I searched for myths I'd created / I couldn't make amends,
I carried on regardless / I would not shed this load,
Hubris stopped a u- turn, down a well- worn road
I stood and looked at the vista / But I couldn't see the view,
I slowly stumbled forward / Blindly seeking you,
Where's the homing signal? / Where's the burning flare?
Where's the light to guide me? Why can't I see you there?
Everything you have taught me
The Devil rides the back of complacency
Everything you made me see
The Devil rides the back of complacency
Everything I don't want to be
The Devil rides the back of complacency
Everything’s in a minor key
The Devil rides the back of complacency
I saw you in the garden / Perfect dancing spheres,
I tried to reach and touch you / But I could not get near,
How the hell did I end up here? / In this God forsaken place?
I found a trodden mirror and I didn't know that face
Everything you have taught me ...
And oh, he's been riding on me,
Pushing me down / pushing me down
And oh he’s been riding on me
Pushing me down so I can’t see
So I can’t see
I see you way back there / Making your way here,
Dust trail take me forward / Make me disappear ,
I don't like the man that I see / I want to hide my face,
The Devil is behind me /And he wont give up the chase
Everything you have taught me ...
And oh, he’s been riding on me ...
Keep on moving forward / Down the beaten track,
Hades keep on waiting /Cos I ain’t turning back
