Attica Blues Attica Blues Lyrics
1.Intro

Instrumental


2.Blueprint

Excursions through the inner mind's eye
Now morning's sun is dawning
Moon blue indigo
Blueprint
I spied the blueprint

Children run come follow
As swallows surf the skies
Past tense of the intent
Blueprint
I spied the blueprint

Blueprint
I spied the blueprint
Blueprint
I spied the blueprint

Basement contemplation
Rotation fourty five
Archive excavation
From vinyl's dusted groove

Blueprint
I spied the blueprint
Blueprint
I spied the blueprint


3.Atlanta

Is it possible for you to claim a land
You've never seen
To talk about a far away place you've
Never been
Imagine a city buried beneath the sea
An ideallic island
Calm and serene
Untouched by civilizations uncivilized
Hane lies a land at
20,000 leagues

Fighting over street corners but never
Own the rocks
Homeboys closest to the foundations when
Lying in a box
Imagining cities butried beneath the sea
And ideallic islands calm and serene
Untouched by civilizations uncivilized
Hand lies a land at
20,000 leagues

Hidden from discovery
Faith remains the same
Underground street heroes never played
The game
And then columbus came
Introduced his ways
His midas touch turned golden sands back
Into dust
Now morals rusting and decaying
Where is where is
Atlanta


4.It's Alright

Sits in her chair as she listens to '87
All those hours spent stargazing in the
Bastions of the night
Prancing and the dancing
As opportunities knocked within celebrity
Corridors
I could have been famous you know
She mutters to her young ones who have heard
It too many times before

But it's alright
Cos that was then and this is now
It's alright
Cos youthful yesterfun is not tomorrows way

He stumbles over debris of last night's
Take-out
Tasting memories of arms around him
Not like the nights before
Things were different then
Anyway
It's been a long night out
But those old moves don't seem to drop the
Same way they did back then

But it's alright
Cos that was then and this is now
It's alright
Cos youthful yesterfun is not tomorrows way

He's late, he's late again
But this time there's no excuse for him to give
As he approached to find her standing there
Seems my time with you was spent waiting for the right moment
Waiting for that break you always went on about
But no more 'cos to stay... and wait...

Would mean our lives will never change

Sits in her chair as she listens to '87
All those hours spent stargazing in the
Bastions of the night

But it's alright
But it's alright
But it's alright
But it's alright...

6.Medieval

Lost in mirrored labyrinths i strive to find
Anyway to escape
And leave it all behind
But the dense layer lingers on
With promised blue skies beyond
What once were rainbows
Now hazy shades of pastel grey
Circles ever viscious
Content ever sparse
Will i really ever live to tell the
Bitter tale of my quest?

Wandering through the corridors of time
I find wider divides
Primordial plans for a new day dawning
Without mourning
Past moons
That once shone on the ones that today
Left behind
Visionary dreams dissolve in our hands
Such potent potential for transcending
Dimensions
Do you pass or do you fail on the
Consciousness scale
Do your inhibitions lie in body or mind
Are you relying on that silver lining?

Bewitched
Bewildered
And
Begulied
I lie
Like the tornado's eye
Whilst all around you the madness swirls
Until drawn in
It hurls you high
And lets you fly for a while
But then it lets you fall
It lets you
It makes you
Fall...


7.3ree

Riding a beam of light
Light on your love tonight
You touched this child's delight
I'm high on your love
Who'd think someone could be
All that you are to me
I can't believe the joy you brought to me
A means to be so free


8.Tender

From paper to pen, from pen to paper
Breathe these whispered words
From what was once, to what now has to be
Breathe these whispered words
And when the blue ink dries, and when we both have cried

Only tender teardrops will remain...

When night-time falls and the air draws cold
Candles flicker, flames, i close my eyes dreaming you are here
Waiting for your shadow, to appear
And what seems strange once our words fade away, is that

Only tender teardrops will remain
Only tender teardrops will remain

I felt the wind behind me, i turned but you weren't there
I felt the wind behind me, i turned but you weren't there, now

Only tender teardrops will remain...

15.Enter

Backstreet ways
Crowded dorways
The darkness scares you
Do you dare to look into those eyes
Their kindness must disguise
Ulterior motives
Will you ever know if the shadow's that
Follow are only yours
Don't look behind
Keep your eyes on the road
Trust yourself
But none else
My friend
Extend a hand
But beware
Of the ones that bite

Synonymous with the anonymous
No one knows you
When you know no one
The life you lead is one of solitaire
Samaritans run the streets
And yet to me they seem ever empty


16.What Are You Gonna Do Now?

I've been all around the earth to many different places
Spoken in tongues to mnay different faces
And after i couldn't communicate the beat was my language
Bridging divides between days of our lives

What are you gonna do now
What are you gonna do now

I've been all around the earth to many different places
Spoken in tongues to many different faces
Let's gather round now to discuss what our future lies
Think if our eyes could see a day where we could meet half way
Compromise because tomorrow lies in your hands

What are you gonna do now
What are you gonna do now
What are you gonna do now
What are you gonna do now

Are you someone who judges one by their colour
Do you know a man who lives to control another
Suffering in silence when you should speak out
Scream out, shout it out

What are you gonna do now
What are you gonna do now
What are you gonna do now
What are you gonna do now
