The Barclay James Harves Xii Lyrics
1.Fantasy: Loving Is Easy

Even the bad times are good when you're around
Darlin', you kiss away all my blues
Even the hard times are easy to face
'cause i know that your love will come through
You light up my flame, then you drive me insane
There ain't nothing that you cannot do
Then you rip up my heart, you just tear it apart
As i shoot all my love into you

Lovin' is easy with both eyes closed
You know that's the best way to feel it
Lovin' is easy with both eyes closed
Just get a hold and watch how it grows

Even the bad times are good when you're around
Darlin', you kiss away all my blues
Even the hard times are easy to face
'cause i know that your love will come through

You tear up my soul and then fill up the whole
Of your being, your love, your desire
Then you grab for my heart and just tear it apart
As i shoot all my love in your fire

Lovin' is easy with both eyes closed
You know that's the best way to feel it
Lovin' is easy with both eyes closed
Just get a hold and watch how it grows


2.Berlin

Came to your border
Looking back into the night
Falling down on the city lights far away
Tell me the answer
Who knows the wrong from the right?
Years may come and years they go
You've seen your bridges burning
And the wheels of time keep turning

Like a ship in the night
You passed along the highways of my life
And now my mind you're always in
And the ten-thirty flight will soon be headed my way
As she sails across the skyway of berlin

Oh, and to think of all the changes you have seen
Oh, and reflect upon the way it might have been

Like a ship in the night
You passed along the highways of my life
And now my mind you're always in
And the ten-thirty flight will soon be headed my way
As she sails across the skyway of berlin


3.Classics: A Tale Of Two Sixties

I'm hitting the road to heading nowhere
Got no place to go
I'm stuck inside my generation
Round and round i go
I'm sick of the sound of rolling thunder
Times they were a-changing
And rock 'n' roll died with easy rider
Tearing up my traces

David bowie was hunky dory
Aladdin quite insane
Give me the sound of arthur lee with
Forever changes, i'll remember
Andmoreagain, don't leave me ever
Buddy holly say 'baby, please be mine'
All the time

I'm cutting out now before the new wave
Takes my surf board flair
Remember the time when zappa said
'punk, where you going with that flower in your hair?'

There's so many who's whos rolling stones
Rod stewarts and small faces
And tommy's the king of the pinball flings
That chased my generation

David bowie was hunky dory
Aladdin quite insane
Give me the sound of arthur lee with
Forever changes, i'll remember
Andmoreagain, don't leave me ever
Buddy holly say 'baby, please be mine'
All the time


4.Turning In Circles

How come you happened to be hanging around
When i was looking for a good time?
I thought i always had my feet on the ground
I've got the feeling that it won't be for long
Take it easy, you're moving too fast
You're gonna make it, but let's make it last
The way you're dancing ain't good for my soul
The situation's getting out of control

(you've got me)
Turning in circles
Where do i go?
Turning in circles
Crazy i know

How come you happened to be hanging around
When i was looking for a good time?
I thought i always had my feet on the ground
I've got the feeling that i'm spinning and spinning
(you've got me)
Turning in circles
Where do i go?
Turning in circles
Crazy i know


5.Fact: The Closed Shop

Born a poor worker's son
Taught to fight for all his rights
Life for him's just begun
Union might is the leading light
It's a shame and it's a sin
They don't know the mood they're in
Until they strike for what is right
Not what has been

Shop floor, that's where he's at
Back to back, bring out the rack
Squeeze them 'til they retract
Wield the gun, see how they run

It's a shame and it's a sin
They don't know the mood they're in
Until they strike for what is right
Not what has been

All out for freedom, all out for more
Show them we mean it, tell them the score
Brother for brother, that's what we're for
Don't give us your reasons
Our reason has gone out the door

Born a poor worker's son
Taught to fight for all his rights
Life for him's just begun
Union might is the leading light

It's a shame and it's a sin
They don't know the mood they're in
Until they strike for what is right
Not what has been


6.In Search Of England

The boy
I was cast adrift, without a hope
My only friend is my old boat
With an empty sea and an open sky
A void no man can justify
The old man
Your sacrifices will ensure
A port of refuge ever more
Lost and drowned
We'll wait 'til england's found
Again

The boy
I was torn between what was good and right
And those who told me when to fight
So they left me here and they sailed away
To sink or swim 'til judgement day

The old man
Your sacrifices will ensure
A port of refuge ever more
Lost and drowned
We'll wait 'til england's found
Again


7.Sip Of Wine

On the road and i'm feeling low
Got a ticket for my way back home
I start to feel like a rolling stone
Without company
Down in the bar talking to the trees
I found a lady hanging on my sleeve
I said, 'i thank you but i have to leave'
She said, 'stay with me, i need company...
Take a sip of my wine
It's gonna make you feel fine
Come tomorrow, leave it all behind.'

I didn't see a warning sign
I held her breath and she was holding mine!
I think i'll be here for a long, long time
If you stay with me, got to be
Take a sip of my wine
It's gonna make you feel fine
Come tomorrow, leave it all behind.'


8.Harbour

To our fore the harbour lights
Shining out like beacons burning
They can stop this endless night
They can stop the wheels from burning

Faces in a setting sun
Say again that we soon will be one

Starlight rakes the silver wing
Bringing home its sons and daughters
No-one knows the state i'm in
Spinning swift above the waters

Faces in a setting sun
Say again that we soon will be one


9.Science Fiction: Nova Lepidoptera

Silver, drifting on high
Deep range star lords
Rebel land of black night
Float by your stars
Mistress of fear see me towards always
Nova bright shine far beyond all time

Beings of the fourth kind
Night time wanderers
Ring worlds timeless in ice
Deep inside gods

Mistress of fear see me towards always
Secret mood of corridors in hyperspace
Nova bright shine far beyond the barriers of night
Take me through the laser beams
The moving sands of mars to see

Silver, drifting on high
Deep range star lords
Rebel land of black night
Float by your stars


10.Giving It Up

I give up my world
And giving it up, it ain't easy
I give up my life
And giving it up, it ain't easy
I give up everything i have
Even give this heart of mine
I would give up my soul
Giving it all for you
I give up my time
And giving it up, it ain't easy
I've made up my mind
And making it up, it ain't easy
Give up everything i have
Think about this heart of mine?
I would give up my soul
Giving it all for you


11.Fiction: The Streets Of San Francisco

On a cold misty night
On the corner of haight
She stood with a colt 45
The gun in her hand
Awaiting her man
A victim to take by surprise

She's the golden gate park killer
She's the scourge of 'frisco bay
Where she got herself beat up and left for dead
By a man she felt true love for
But who left her out of hand
Now she's out to take revenge on every man
As she stands there with a pistol in her hand

The victim arrives
She looks in his eyes
He goes for the gun in her hand

Karl malden was great (unlike the film, though)
But just a bit late (this was the real show)
And got it right between the eyes

She's the golden gate park killer
She's the scourge of 'frisco bay
Where she got herself beat up and left for dead
By a man she felt true love for
But who left her out of hand
Now she's out to take revenge on every man
As she stands there with a pistol in her hand
