She's A River
Shadow let go there's something you should know
I Just found my new direction and I hope you like the key
like the air that led me to it she's the wind that sucked me through it
she's a river and she's turning there in front of me
stand back get back
she'll paint your blue skies black she gives bullet proof protection
she's got a resurrection feel when I'm scared, and bout to lose
she gives me travelling shoes
she's a river and she's turning there in front of me
and I go blind wasting my time the river is front of me
that's where I'm goin' to be
shine on, get on twilight from dusk to dawn
she's the sprit of creation she's the last chance guarantee
got a myriad of poses sweet miracles and roses
she's a river and she's turning there in front of me
shine on, move on Cos when I find my state of mind
the river's front of me
move on let it go
they say that every heaven's got thousand rooms
so take me to the freedom ride
my heart is like a hunter's in the silent moon
my nerves feel electrified meet me on the staircase by a darker moon
light me like a naked flame the voice of mother nature state
all things must pass
nothing here can remain
they say that every heaven's got a thousand rooms
so take me on that freedom ride
you raise me like a building to the very top rush me to the end of time
you fill me full of danger you give me future shock
then you leave me wasted dying
stand back get back move on
she's a river, she's a river
Night Music
can you here the lone night music coming is so near
when i hear the lone night music
every nightmare crumbles and they disappear
can you hear the echoes calling speaking in verse
when i hear the lone night music
everything gets stronger and i lose this curse
help me break the chains that hold me from the truth
I want to feel the hands that raise me from a low down level
to the highest roof, woh oh
night music, I hear it now night music
I want to catch the rock that's falling roll it back up hill
when I hear the strange night music
the whole world's turning and I'm still standing
still I feel it growing deep inside me still I'm at a loss
when i hear the lone night music
it's a warning signal there's a bridge to cross
(the time and place to cure your bitter heart)
feels like running water, water of the soul
spinning like a spinning wheel way beyond control
spinning like a spinning wheel way beyond control
can you hear the lone night music coming in so far
when i hear the lone night music
it's a lonely planet it's a burning star
I want to swin the widest ocean diving in so deep
when i hear the lone night music
I can get so blue that I just can't sleep
sing to me oh night music coming in so near
when i hear the lone night music
all my nightmares crumble and they disappear
Hypnotised
I can feel the whole world spinning around I'm losing ground
I feel it every day and I can feel you coming inside out
I'm losing touch with all reality
I remember the look in your eyes the way that they pulled me inside
all I've got now in my defence is my innocense
I've been hypnotised
I can hear the church bells ringing out
reminds me of some bright and sunshine day when all the pretty horses
you would ride would come right back to feel your energy
I still remember the look in your eyes the way that they filled me inside
all I've got now in my defence is my innocense
I've been hypnotised
You know it won't be easy it's never easy I've been hypnotised
so tell me what you think do you think I'll sink number one
scapegoat I'm the missing link all I know I've been hypnotised
It won't be easy
If you've got a heart that burns inside let me get inside
let me tangle with the flames if you've got a light that burns inside
the heat will rise and melt down once again
I still remember the look in your eyes the way that they pulled me inside
all I've got now in my defence is my innocense
I've been hypnotised
all I've got now in my defence is my innocense
I've been hypnotised
I'm waiting for a sign help me realign maybe it's a sin I know but
It's not a crime all I know I've been hypnotised
maybe there's a way I can find a way final hour judgement day
all I know I've been hypnotised and then I realise
Great Leap Forward
I jump up like apollo crash landed on my feet
the sun shot like a laser through my brain
a little desth had woken up and put a curse on me
but I knew that I'd be coming back again
inspiration acrossthe nation there's a poverty od expectation
all I got to do was mvoe ahead
It's a blue sky It's a white cloud It's a flame
It's a blue sky white cloud burning flame
I shot back to the mirror there was nothing left to see
but a phantom with his heartbeat deep inside
I could feel the dust of ages they were blowing back at me
but I know that I was born to get it right
It's a blue sky It's a white cloud It's a flame
It's a blue sky white cloud burning flame
Every body take the great leep forward
everbody knows the mysteries at hand
if you've been praying all those sweet days for this
don't you know there is a whole different plan
sometimes I hear the madman calling
he talks about some dark enternal place
I've been wating all my lifetime for this moment
and now I've got to find some other way
One touch ignites this eagle once kiss for heavens view
I need the flame so I can feel alive
you can tell my little brother no requiem
for me I knew that I was born to mak this flight
inspiration across the nation there's a poverty of expectation
all I got to do was move ahead
It's a blue sky It's a white cloud It's a flame
It's a blue sky white cloud burning flame
Every body take the great leep forward
everbody knows the mysteries at hand
if you've been praying all those sweet days for this
don't you know there is a whole different plan
sometimes I hear the madman calling
every woman very child every man
he talks about some dark enternal place
you know there's no turning back again
you know there's no turning back again
7 Deadly Sins
Ever felt that you've been lied and somehow you just can't provide the
proof
ever felt you've cast aside and sheltered from the universal truth
ever find when trouble calls you're first in line and sticl your finger in
Everybody's talking about 7 deadly sins
Number one says drop the gun there's nothnig out there that's worth dying for
and number two that me and you I'm green inside and jealous to the core
number three fidelity I've lost the path and I'd better start again
This thing's got a strange mystique the 7 deadly sins
this thing's got the whole world beat 7 deadly sins
I can hear them calling out I can hear them screaming out
blood is sweet like dep river and where it goes i don't know
you make me sweat and you make me shiver where it goes Idon't know
If you've got sticky fingers you got dreams that linger runnig through your brain
well vanity's the flying "V" desire is the one who gets the blame
if you're looking for a goldmine when all around you seems to be tin
I'm not superstitious about 7 deadly sins
I can hear them calling out I can hear them screaming out
blood is sweet like dep river and where it goes i don't know
you make me sweat and you make me shiver where it goes Idon't know
everybody's calling out 7 deadly sins
everybody's dreaming about 7 deadly sins
And The Band Played On
Sweetest angel came down took me by the hand
said I've gotthings to offer you help you understand
if the booms don't get you I'll roll with you tonight
all those things inside you head you've got to get it right
and the band played on the band played on
Spirits of the city were calling out my name
when jealous guys break down and cry
they got themselves to blame
if the booms don't get you take courage in the night
all those dreams inside you head you've got to get it right
still the band played on the band played on
and the world moved on the world moved on
The room was getting hotter and someone hit the light
there was power in the darkness there was violence in the night
and the golden sons and the daughters they were comming up for air
you were standing with your back to me and a halo round your hair
and the questions there were many like how can you survive
when it's the moment you've been waiting for this is the moment of your life
So every dreamer pass me by with a fix me jesus stare in his eyes
I was born to live I was born to die with the queen of soul and
the king of light all the power in the land pull me through to the
shadowland I was driven by some hidden hand
It's the greatest gift of all
and the band played on the band played on
shake the ghost within you get up meet up the rising sun
Cos the old days they're the dying days and the new day's just begun
at the end of every party hear thesinger sing his song
may his heart stay young forever and the dreams still linger on
I want to die I want to live again I want to keeping on
they saya coward dies a thousand times
but the brave they die just once
So walk to me talk to me hold me now spectre of love
there's a coolness under fire and a universal love
and the band played on and the band played on
and the band played on and the band played on
played on played on
played on played on
played on played on
It's My Life
I can feel it in the darkness getting closer in the night
like a sacred song you linger on you give me the wings of flight
and I love your sense of power every hour every need
when the red light show your arms enclose like the pillars of destiny
With one step forward I kow I can leave this behind

I want to get to it seel and you'll fins check the world do it
It's my life

It's my life I'm just
keeping my soul alive
There's talk of revolution there's no solution to our plight
a red guitar can get you far but you still know to fight
they say all roads come together every shoulder to the the wheel
solid gold future unfolds when you give me the hands that heat
With one step forward I kow I can leave this behind

but I can't get back again and I'm calling I need you here
my whole life took a tumble and I'm so filled up with fear
my life feels like a runaway train I'm leading through a tunnel
and I can't get back again
It's my life
With one step forward I kow I can leave this behind
never look backward I want to move through space through time
I want to get to it seel and you'll fins check the world do it
