Walkabout

The Fixx Walkabout Lyrics
1.Secret Separation

Lyricist:Daniel K Brown, Cyril Curnin, Peter Greenall, Jeanette
Obstoj, West-oram, James West-oram, Woods, Adam Woods

We are passengers in time
Lost in motion, locked together
Day and night by trick of light
I must take another journey
We must meet with other names
Ooh, we must meet with other names

You touched my heart so deeply
You rescued me, now free me
Don't watch me cry, just see me go
I'll take away the strongest feelings you will ever know

There will be no more isolation
In our secret separation
You touched my heart so deeply
You rescued me, now free me

Passengers in time
Lost in motion, locked together
Day and night, by trick of light
I must take another journey
We must meet with other names
If you hold me you will hurt me, be brave

There will be no more isolation
In our secret separation
You touched my heart so deeply
You rescued me, now free me

We are matching spark and flame
Caught in endless repetition
Life for life, we'll be the same
I must leave before you burn me
I am the stranger who deserts you
Only to love you in another life

There will be no more isolation
In our secret separation
You touched my heart so deeply
You rescued me, now free me

I'll bear one precious scar that only you will know
Passengers in time, free me
...


2.Treasure It

Lyricist:Daniel Brown, Cyril Curnin, Peter Greenall, James West-oram,
Adam Woods

Feel the pull, feel the swing, ain't no value
'Til you treasure it
Feel the pull, feel the swing, ain't no value
'Til you treasure it

Tread carefully, leave no tracks behind
Move easily, don't stack what you find
Breathe deeply, always look ahead
Wide open, there's a space time won't touch

Switch back, turn back
Switch back, turn back

We'll have our turn to use what we've learned
And stand up into the light of our lives
So please yourself, feed yourself
Take a seat for this coming attraction

When you're feeling insecure, do you treasure it?
You should treasure it
Feel the pull of nature's course and treasure it
Treasure it

Switch back, turn back

Feel the pull, feel the swing, ain't no value
'Til you treasure it
Feel the pull, feel the swing, ain't no value
'Til you treasure it

Feel the pull, feel the swing, ain't no value
'Til you treasure it
Feel the pull, feel the swing, ain't no value
'Til you treasure it

Switch back, turn back
Switch back, turn back

Think positive, leave the negs behind
Move easily, don't stack what you find
Breathe deeply, always look ahead
Wide open, there's a space
I say, wide open there's a space time won't touch

When you're feeling insecure, do you treasure it?
I treasure it
Feel the pull of nature's course and treasure it
Oh, I treasure it

Switch back, turn back

Feel the pull, feel the swing, ain't no value
'Til you treasure it
Feel the pull, feel the swing, ain't no value
'Til you treasure it

Feel the pull, feel the swing, ain't no value
'Til you treasure it
Feel the pull, feel the swing, ain't no value
'Til you treasure it

Feel the pull, feel the swing, ain't no value
'Til you treasure it
Feel the pull, feel the swing, ain't no value
'Til you treasure it

Feel the pull, feel the swing, ain't no value
'Til you treasure it


3.Can't Finish

Lyricist:Brown, Curnin, Greenall, West-oram, Woods

One morale that needs the strengthening
A timely episode of fate, would you be there?
The sound of silence seems so deafening
Don't tell me

I can't finish what you started
I'm too far in to be without
Can't seem to preach without the practice
Far too many of us would like to get something started

The rush of youth, what it could achieve
Would create more than cruising out to plunder
All you need is faith, all you need is faith in yourself
Don't tell me

I can't finish what you started
I'm in too far in to be without
Can't seem to preach without the practice
Far too many scenes to be acted out

It's time for us to start restructuring
And my imagination, my imagination is my tool
Society won't have my ears for lecturing
All I have is my faith, all I have is my faith get away
Don't tell me

I can't finish what you started
I'm too far in to be without
Can't seem to preach without the practice
Far too many scenes to be acted out


4.Camphor

Lyricist:Brown, Curnin, West-oram, Woods

A feeling like camphor, rushing through my tubes
A cooling drought, a rare interlude
Drowning depression to admire and trust
Who can watch a man making dust to dust?

One legal dose of environment
The ballad of a playground swing
There's a lonely dog, so misunderstood
He's left his chores to become someone's friend

Things are so enchanting, high on life
Then, once again, the flash of pines
Beck to this breathtaking view
Where the peeks are so high, full of encouragement
And the paints of the Gods' color code
Things are so enchanting, high on life

Things are where they can't be high on life
So, I'm thinking about my favorite dream
An adventure not out of bounds
It dries my eyes to know mother earth hears
I'm invisible to blue hounds

It pleases me to have a mind on the run
When the body is fixed, tied in shoes
What expression is left to fulfill the gap?
Just a nod will suffice, where you are?
Things are so enchanting, high on life


5.Built for the Future

Lyricist:Brown, Curnin, Greenall, West-oram, Woods

Some say a trick, some say a look
It's just a way of thinking after all
From underneath something concrete
It's just a way of coping with it all

Some with revolt, some will obey
Who attains perfection and who's to say
A criminal, or a cardinal
Both frightened of angels

It doesn't mean much now
It's built for the future
It doesn't mean much now
It's built for the future

For some a walk, to some a dance
It's just a form of motion one and all
Without dispute the least aware
Will no doubt see the raging of a fool

First we look then we spy
The man who has a vision wants it all
A sin so clean rule supreme
The power to undermine

It doesn't mean much now
It's built for the future
It doesn't mean much now
It's built for the future
It doesn't mean much now
It's built for the future

First a glance, then a chance
To make a simple gesture worth it all
A conquer all, a desert stall
That serves a drink to people under this sun

At last the place, now where's the time
To take in all the other points of view
Some are inert but one exists
To build a bridge

It doesn't mean much now
It's built for the future
It doesn't mean much now
It's built for the future

It doesn't mean much now
It's built for the future
It doesn't mean much now
It's built for the future

It doesn't mean much now
It's built for the future
It doesn't mean much now
It's built for the future

It doesn't mean much now
It's built for the future
It doesn't mean much now
It's built for the future


6.Chase the Fire

Lyricist:Brown, Curnin, Greenall, West-oram, Woods

You chase the fire
You paint the signs
I walk the wire
You shout lines

There was a time when my mind
Was made up by you
Is this a deja vu
Am I just missing you?

I've been here before and lived
To the thrill of it all
I might be in the dark
But I'm watching you

You, you chase the fire
But you can't take the heat
You, you slay the lion
And you won't taste the meat

Your look was all it took
To get me hooked on you
My eyes were closed
Now I'm watching you

You, you chase the fire
But you can't take the heat
You, you slay the lion
And you won't taste the meat
I've been here before and we chased

So you chase the fire
You paint the signs
I walk the wire
You shout lines

There was a time when my lines
Were made up by you
Is this a deja vu?
Am I just seeing through

You, you chase the fire
But you can't take the heat
You, you slay the lion
And you won't taste the meat, oh no

And you, you chase the fire
You chase the fire

You chase the fire
You paint the signs
I walk the wire

You chase the fire
You paint the signs
I walk the wire

Don't tell me you, you're gonna chase the fire
I've to see that you, when you touch the fire
They say that you, witches don't burn
And you won't take the heat


7.Sense The Adventure

Lyricist:Brown, Curnin, West-oram, Woods

Are you locked in the paranoia?
You should enjoy the sense of doubt
Breaking down the walls of institution
I'm going to let my paganism out

A god of light, baron of evil
Supposed to show me hallowed ground
But these our monsters we created
To civilize our primal shouts

Sense the adventure
Let those feelings out
Sense the adventure
Let the pagan out

Not just because you have your answers
It should not mean my views are seen in vain
An earthly bid for resurrection
Will never soothe the human pain

Sense the adventure
Let those feelings out
Sense the adventure
Let the pagan out

No war of rights to battle angels
Will ever justify these ends
Please recognize yourself in others
A generation makes amends

Are you locked out in no direction
You could escape to feed the mind
To an untrodden field of vision
Sensitivity will find

Sense the adventure
Let those feelings out
Sense the adventure
Let the pagan out


8.Walkabout

Lyricist:Daniel Brown, Cyril Curnin, Peter Greenall, James West-oram,
Adam Woods

Investigate what your ancestors left you
A wreath, a God and belief in slavery
You fight away this monochrome pact
It's legal action, it's matter of fact
(That)

The Romans hailed a Sun God
The Christians tortured Jews
Together is that belief for you

Walkabout the rock
It may give you a few answers
Don't lie about the rock

Walkabout the rock
It gives me all the answers
Don't lie about the rock

What better way to conquer a nation
Than steal away its spiritual release
When after all the door is left wide open
Hey men of God, say what do you preach?

Walkabout the rock
It may give you a few answers
Don't lie about the rock

Walkabout the rock
It gives me all the answers
Don't lie about the rock

So maybe it's dream time
Close your eyes and drift away
Dream time
Close your eyes don't fight it

You believe what you believe
Without question, without waste
You inoculate the children
Against their reason, against their fate

You pray for mystical decisions
Through the gates
We are inside, this is our final state

Walkabout the rock
It may give you a few answers
Don't lie about the rock

Walkabout the rock
It gives me all the answers
Don't lie about the rock

Dream, dream time
Close your eyes and drift away
Dream time
Close your eyes

To every man a kingdom
For the better of man's estate
Dream time

You believe what you believe
Without question, without waste
There's no dream time

Walkabout the rock
It may give you a few answers
Don't lie about the rock

Walkabout the rock
It gives me all the answers
Don't lie about the rock


9.One Look Up

I've got a rover's eye
All the more to see with
It's an overview with space in mind
I can watch myself and bring my faults in line

With one look up, oh yes, I'm trying
The spirit's up, I'm almost there
With mental wings I'm nearly flying
One look up I can see down

If you want to breathe fresh air
All you have to do is stand well clear
The things we need aren't always here
So if you feel the need to travel fly over the wall

With one look up, oh yes, I'm trying
The spirit's up I'm almost there
With mental wings I'm needy flying
One look up I can see down

If you really want to hope accept despair
We can all find the way to make love in the air
This overview may help our extinct
We can kick off the flesh, there'll be more to share

With one look up, oh yes, I'm trying
The spirit's up, I'm almost there
With mental wings I'm nearly flying
One look up I can see down


10.Read Between the Lines

You're not the first to be lonely
Thank God you're not the only
Relax with the fact you're surrounded
Follow your bloodline
We feel warm when we think we're protected
Cry out when we feel rejected
Maybe in some other life we're connected
We've seen it all before

Please take heart, find your soul
Read between the lines
Please take heart, play your role
Read between the lines

Please believe I implore you
Spirit flight will restore you
Only love can ignore you
Another fighting heart

Please take heart, find your soul
Read between the lines
Please take heart, play your role
Read between the lines
Please take heart
Read between the lines
Please take heart

Feel warm if you think that you know me
I thank God when you show me
Happy that we're just surviving
Please take heart, we'll survive

Please take heart, find your soul
Read between the lines
Please take heart, play your role
Read between the lines
Please take heart
Read between the lines
Please take heart

You're not the first to be lonely
Between the lines
Thank God you ain't the only
Between the lines...
