The Levellers Unreleased Songs Lyrics
1.Pour

Lyricist:Charlie Heather, Jeremy Cunningham, Jon Sevink, Mark
Chadwick, Simon Friend

Pour some metal on your heart, my dear
The puzzle is nearing its end
Yeah, pour some metal on your heart, my love
The destruction of the world is at an end

I've seen all of the hiding places
And they are written in style
I've seen all of the shameless faces
And they are wearing a smile
So believe me when I tell you
They've been lying to you

Pour some blue into your eyes, my dear
Obscure the edges of your sight
Go on pour that blue into your eyes, my love
When you're facing the cavalcade of the night

There's always one in a million faces
With a destiny smile
Dragging us down to a nameless places
For the sake of your style
So believe me when I tell you
They've been lying to you

So pour some metal on my heart
Go on and pour some blue into your eyes
Go on and pour some metal on my heart, my dear
And pour that blue into your eyes

I've seen all of the hiding places
Where destiny smiles
I've seen all of the shallow faces
Looking scared for a while
So believe me when I tell you
They've been lying for you


2.The Riverflow

Lyricist:Mark Chadwick, Jeremy Cunningham, Simon Friend, Charles
Heather, Jonathan Sevink

I met you in 82, over a crate of beer and not a few
I cracked a can and so did you, we're going to change the world
The ghetto kings of downside town
The estates and parks of our hallowed ground
Doing anything that we found, and on the river flowed

You'd take a drink from Rev. Jimmy Jones
You'd cross the street on the path the gunman roams
Thrown aside and left to waste, that was you, you knew your
place
Wander round, get off your face, and on the river flowed

On and on the river flow, we are the undertow
On and on the river flow, we are the undertow

I don't know how you made it through all the smoke and brew you
do
It sure has left its mark on you but you're still with us today
Life goes on and 'round we go and words can kill these things I
know
Sometimes you cut deeply so, but on the river flows

You'd set the table for barber Sweeney Todd
You'd clip the wings of any rising God
But man can't live on hope alone, it can be cut all that is
grown
Broke your spirit but not your bones and on the river flows


You're working now, forced to the race
I know it left a bitter taste
But the rising tide had covered your face
Nothing you could do

But I still remember the day you said
That the river flowing through my head
Would take me far or leave me dead
And all you said was true


3.The Boatman

Lyricist:Mark Chadwick, Jeremy Cunningham, Simon Friend, Charles
Heather, Jonathan Sevink

If I could choose the life I please
Then I would be a boatman
On the canals and the rivers free
No hasty words are spoken

My only law is the river breeze
That takes me to the open seas
If I could choose the life I please
Then, I would be a boatman

If I could choose the life I please
Then I would be a rower
And if the road was not for me
Then, I would choose another

Cross mountains and the valleys deep
Where I would take these weary feet
If I could choose the life I please
Then, I would be a rower

But these things they're so hard for me
I cannot choose my own destiny
And all the things that I want to see
Are so unclean

Well, I wish I could choose the life I please
But I am not a free man
Others rule my destiny
But my will's never broken

I know someday, I will be
Everything that I dreamed, I'd be
And when I live the life I please
Then, I will be a freeman

I know someday, I will be
Everything that I dreamed, I'd be
And when I live the life I please
Then, I will be a freeman

And when I live the life I please
Then, I will be a freeman


4.Liberty Song

Lyricist:Mark Chadwick, Jeremy Cunningham, Simon Friend, Charles
Heather, Jonathan Sevink

There's one too many, too, too many holes
Getting bigger in the garden wall
And the people looking in are getting busy, they're getting bad
They're trying to souss it all

They're trying to get to me, to take my liberty
Got to go, go, get out of here
Away way, you don't want me here
Got to go, go, get out of here, go home

I said, 'This means nothing to me'
The way we were, is the way I wanna be
This means nothing to me
The way we were, is the way I wanna be

They're sending in the elite, complete with guns
To advertise the way to go
Faxing through the fax to make it clear
That they're the ones who know

They're trying to get to me, to take my liberty
Got to go, go, get out of here
Away away, you don't want me here
Got to go, go, get out of here, go home

I said, 'This means nothing to me'
They way we were, is the way I wanna be
This means nothing to me
The way we were, is the way I wanna be


5.Another Mans Cause

Lyricist:Mark Chadwick, Jeremy Cunningham, Simon Friend, Charles
Heather, Jonathan Sevink

Gunshots shatter in the peace of night
It's just another fire fight
For the people of this little town
But for the dying soldier
Well he's feeling ten years older
As he's lying face down on the ground
All the words that are in his head
And all the words his mother said
As she would put him to bed back home

Your daddy well he died in the Falklands
Fighting for another man's cause
And your brother he was killed in the last war
And your mother well she's lying home alone

Every day she sees your face
On the picture on the fireplace
With your brother as he was leaving school
Then a day came five years ago
You said, 'mother, I need to know'
And you spoke the words your brother spoke before
'I seen the things my daddy done
And I've seen the medals that he won
And I know that this is what he would have wanted for me.'

But, your daddy well he died in the Falklands
Fighting for another man's cause
And your brother he was killed in the last war
And your mother well she's lying home alone

Now she wonders at it all
Just in his name to be brave and heroes fall
And how many more are going to answer that call
They're going to fight and die in another country's war
They're going die for a religion they don't believe in at all
They're die in a place they should never been at all
Oh, never been at all

Cause, your daddy well he died in the Falklands
Fighting for another man's cause
And your brother he was killed in the last war
And your mother well she's lying home alone

And your daddy well he died in the Falklands
Fighting for another man's cause
And your brother he was killed in the last war
And your mother well she's lying home alone


6.The Road

Lyricist:Mark Chadwick, Jeremy Cunningham, Simon Friend, Charles
Heather, Jonathan Sevink

Well, it's headlights and white lights and Black Tar Rivers
They're dragging me around this country as it withers
The billboards, signposts, standing in the way
Tell of the state of nations, that we find today

We play and we play and we play
To every day, every day, every day
To every day

And in the front rooms in old towns far from the city
With beaten up guitars and hearts full of pity
The people gather 'round they sing songs from everywhere
They're torn from the nation but left without a care

And they play and they play and they play
To every day, every day, every day
To every day

And we'll rid the bloody world for a moment in a word
Well, we'll rid the bloody world

'Cos the words that you heard when you were young will always
stay
The one's that always stay make the world go away
The words that you heard when you were young will always stay
The one's that always stay make the world go away, and go away

Well, out of warm night and clear sky, European town
Outside the bars singing their hearts out to a crowd
With open boots, violin, banjo and a voice
The exiled busker's are happy with their choice

And they play and they play and they play
To every day, every day, every day
To every day

And we'll rid the bloody world for a moment in a word
Well, we'll rid the bloody world

'Cos the words that you heard when you were young will always
stay
The one's that always stay make the world go away
The words that you heard when you were young will always stay
The one's that always stay make the world go away, and go away

Well, we play and we play and we play
To every day, every day, every day


7.Battle Of The Beanfield

Lyricist:Mark Chadwick, Jeremy James Cunningham, Simon Friend, Charles
Heather, Jonathan Sevink

I thought, I heard something calling me
I've seen the pictures on TV
And I made up my mind that I'd go and see
With my own eyes

It didn't take too long to hitch a ride
With a guy going south to start a new life
Past the place where my friend died
Two years ago

Down the 303 at the end of the road
Flashing lights exclusion zones
And it made me think, it's not just the stones
That they're guarding

Hey, hey, now can't you see?
There's nothing here that you can call free
They're getting their kicks
They're laughing at you and me

As the sun rose on the bean field
They came like wolf on the fold
And no, they didn't give a warning
They took their bloody toll

I seen a pregnant woman
Lying in blood of her own
I seen her children crying
As the police tore apart their home

And no, they didn't need a reason
It's what your votes condone
It seems they were committing treason
By trying to live on the road

And I say
'Hey, hey, now can't you see
There's nothing here that you can call free
They're getting their kicks
They're laughing at you and me'

Hey, hey, now can't you see
There's nothing here that you can call free
They're getting their kicks
They're laughing at you and me

Bastards
Remember what you heard

Hey, hey, now can't you see
There's nothing here that you can call free
They're getting their kicks
They're laughing at you and me


8.Captains Courageous

Lyricist:Mark Chadwick, Jeremy Cunningham, Simon Friend, Charles
Heather, Jonathan Sevink

Kick the sheets off get out of bed
Good morning, de ja vu
Is this the best thing in my head
Good morning now what to do

Look at my day
What's the first appointment
Lunch in heaven
What a disappointment

I could run away with Captain Courageous
I could live on fruit in Montego Bay
I could run a bar in a war torn front line
I could do it all, but just not today

Good morning TV what's been said
Around the world whilst I'm in bed
Nothing changes, 'cos we're still being fed
On little white lies and stale white bread

Look at my day
What's my next appointment
Dinner in hell
What a disappointment

I live for you and you live for me
For four hours every day
Another social misery for hours and hours
(Every day)

I could free my mind
Become a rich mans guru
I could take the time
To feed the world

Could drink all day
Until I find
All the answers
I could do it all
But just not today


9.Sail Away

Lyricist:Mark Chadwick, Jeremy Cunningham, Simon Friend, Charles
Heather, Jonathan Sevink

Down the hill, I wander
Just to watch the world go by
Passers by pass under
Underneath the clear blue sky

No one seems to notice
No one seems to even wonder why

And as I sit, I sail away
It is as if I broke the line
'Cause nothing really matters
Nothing matters all the time

But no one seems to notice
No one seems to even wonder why


10.One Way

Lyricist:Mark Chadwick, Jeremy James Cunningham, Simon Friend, Charles
Kenton Heather, Jonathan Sevink

There's only one way of life
And that's your own, your own, your own

My father when I was younger took me up on to the hill
That looks down on the city smog and above the factory spill
He said, 'Now this is where I come when I wanted to be free'
But he never was in his lifetime, but these words stuck with me,
hey

And so I ran from all of this and I climbed that highest hill
I looked down on to my life above the factory spill
I looked down onto my life as the family disgrace
Then all my friends on the starting line their wages off to
chase
Yes and all my friends and all their jobs and all the bloody
waste

There's only one way of life
And that's your own, your own, your own
There's only one way of life
And that's your own, that's your own, that's your own

Well, well, when I grew up, learned to love and laugh
Circled as on the underpass the noise we thought would never
stop
Died a death as the punks grew up, we choked on all our dreams
We rustled with our fears
We're running through the heartless concrete streets chasing our
ideas run

And all the problems of the world won't be solved by this guitar
And they won't stop coming either by the life I've had so far
And the bright lights of my home town won't be getting any
dimmer
Though their calling has receded like some old distant singer
And they don't look so appealing to the eyes of this poor sinner

There's only one way of life
And that's your own, your own, your own
There's only one way of life
And that's your own, that's your own, that's your own

There's only one way of life
And that's your own, that's your own, that's your own
Oh, only one way of life
And that's your own, that's your own, that's your own

That's your own


11.Far from Home

Lyricist:Mark Chadwick, Jeremy Cunningham, Simon Friend, Charles
Heather, Jonathan Sevink

It's warm by the river, the weir keeps us clean
The wood-smoke and cigarettes are all that we need
Marking the dirt with twigs and simple words spoke
Kicking the dust so that we can just

Dance the dance that plays with the fire
We play guitar and played it inspired
You said you would leave not ever
Underneath the sky forever

It's cool by the sea when the pavement is hot
We take a walk down there to see what we've got
An old man collecting fifty beautiful words
Cleaning the beach so that he can teach us to

Dance the dance that plays with the fire
We play guitar and played it inspired
You said you would leave not ever
Underneath the sky forever

It's cold by the pane glass on the high street we played
But there's always a penny in the music we made
So far from home and no means of return
Burning the bridges so we'd always

Dance the dance that plays with the fire
We play guitar and played it inspired
You said you would leave not ever
Underneath the sky forever

And we're so far from home
No means of return
There's so much that we have taught
And so much we have learned

And we're so far from home
There's no means of return
There's so much that we have taught
And so much we have learned

Oh and we're so far from home
No means to return
There's so much that we have taught
And so much we have learned

And we're so far from home
No means to return
There's so much that we have taught
And so much we have learned

And we're so far from home
No means to return
There's so much that we have taught
And so much we have learned, yes


12.Another Man's Cause

Lyricist:Mark Chadwick, Jeremy Cunningham, Simon Friend, Charles
Heather, Jonathan Sevink

Gunshots shatter in the peace of night
Just another fire fight
For the people of this little town
But for the dying soldier

Well, he's feeling ten years older
As he's lying face down on the ground
All the words that are in his head
And all the words his mother said
As she would put him to bed back home

Your daddy well, he died in the Falklands
Fighting for another man's cause
And your brother, he was killed in the Last War
And your mother well, she's lying home alone

Every day she sees your face
On the picture on the fireplace
With your brother, as he was leaving school
Then a day came five years ago

You said, 'Mother, I need to know'
And you spoke the words, your brother spoke before
'I seen the things my Daddy's done
And I've seen the medals Daddy's won
And I know that this is what he would have wanted for me'

But, your daddy well, he died in the Falklands
Fighting for another man's cause
And your brother, he was killed in the Last War
And your mother well, she's lying home alone

Now she wonders at it all
Just in whose name do these brave young heroes fall
And how many more are going to answer that call
They're going to fight and die in another country's war
They're going die for a religion they don't believe in at all
They're die in a place they should never have been at all
Oh, never have been at all

'Cause your daddy well, he died in the Falklands
Fighting for another man's cause
And your brother, he was killed in the Last War
And your mother well, she's lying home alone

And your daddy well, he died in the Falklands
Fighting for another man's cause
And your brother, he was killed in the Last War
And your mother well, she's lying home alone


13.Sell Out

Lyricist:Mark Chadwick, Jeremy Cunningham, Simon Friend, Charles
Heather, Jonathan Sevink

Well, the year it's 1991
It seems that freedom is dead and gone
The power of the rich is held by few
They keep the young paralyzed
Educated by your lies
Keep the old ones happy with the news

Tell the singer not to song a song
Tell the poet that she's wrong
In the courts you'll win the case with lies
'Cause you sold them down the river-o

Do I belong to some ancient race
I like to walk in ancient places
These are things that I can understand
Well, I don't believe in your modern way
Don't care about the things you say
Your policies have failed the test of time
'Cause you sold them down the river-o

Now, now in a land not far away
There's men in prison because they say
The color of your skin is not a question
Did you rally to their side?
No, you sat back and let them die
Don't know how you get to sleep at night
At night

Do I belong to some ancient race
I like to walk in ancient places
These are things that I can understand
Well, I don't believe in your modern way
Don't care about the things you say
Your policies have failed the test of time
Hey

Your money market goes round and round
The pound goes up, the dollar goes down
You need the power for your new towns
You get scared when the night comes down
Won't you tell me where it is that we are bound?

Do I belong to some ancient race
I like to walk in ancient places
These are things that I can understand
Well, I don't believe in your modern way
Don't care about the things you say
Your policies have failed the test of time
'Cause you sold them down the river-o


14.Fifteen Years

Lyricist:Mark Chadwick, Jeremy Cunningham, Simon Friend, Charles
Heather, Jonathan Sevink

I never was a violent man
Said the man in the bar with his head in his hands
He's trying his best to understand the 'cause of his dismay
But the years of gin have broken him
They've left him cold where he's fitted in
But it's too late now to turn around and find another way

And the lights in the late night lock-in
Have faded away when he gets in
The girl from fifteen years ago
Has packed and gone away

That's never how it used to be, what happened to all that energy
You took one too many liberties, I'm tired of being afraid
So after the fight she took flight hiding swollen eyes and a
wounded pride
The best years of her life denied is sold for liquid shares

And the lights in the late night lock-in
Have faded away when he gets in
The girl from fifteen years ago
Has packed and gone away

And the victims of their world
Are advertised on posters
Just a beach and a pretty girl
You just take this potion

It's another week till his check comes through
He's got a fiver left to spend on food
The doors of the bar are open and he breaks another rule
But he sits on the stool that bears his name
He's got a favorite glass an' is called the same
He's never been kept waiting, 'cause he pays the landlord's wage

And the lights in the late night lock-in
Have faded away when he gets in
The girl from fifteen years ago
Has packed and gone away

The lights in the late night lock-in
Have faded away when he gets in
The girl from fifteen years ago
Has packed and gone away


15.The Fear

Lyricist:Mark Chadwick, Jeremy Cunningham, Charles Heather, Jonathan
Sevink

Do you wake up every day in a world that seems crazy
A world you love to hate?
Are you scared or do you feel pretty safe?
Do you think you have nothing or do you think you've got it
made?

You know it feels like you're going insane
And I've done everything you told me to take away the pain
Then you change my medication again
It's getting harder to tell just who or what's insane

Do your nightmares tear you apart?
Do you wake up screaming, shouting in the dark?
Do the demons keep you awake?
Does the clock tick more slowly with every breath you take?

You know it feels like you're going insane
I've done everything you told me to take away the pain
Then you change my medication again
It's getting harder to tell just who or what's insane

Does each day seem like the next
You turn on in the morning 'cause turning offs the best
Do you think that it will never change
Or does mass self delusion, meddle with your brain?

You know it feels like you're going insane
I've done everything you told me to take away the pain
Then you change my medication again
It's getting harder to tell just who or what's insane

You see I think I know it all
Well, I think I know the way
You've given me the power
By making me insane

You know it feels like I'm going insane
Well, maybe you love me better a little bit deranged
But it may be a different way
If it keeps on the way it's going
There'll be no one stay insane, stay insane

It's not insane
It's not insane
It's not insane


16.Rain And Snow

Lyricist:Mark Chadwick, Jeremy Cunningham, Simon Friend, Charles
Heather, Jonathan Sevink

Well I married me a wife
She gave me trouble all my life
Ran me out in the cold rain and snow
The rain and snow, rain and snow
Ran me out in the cold rain and snow

She came running on down the stairs
Combing back her long blonde hair
And her cheeks were as red as a rose
As a rose, as a rose
And her cheeks were as red as a rose
As a rose, as a rose

She said I ain't got no use
For your red apple juice
And I'm not gonna be treated this way
This way, this way
And I'm not gonna be treated this way

I see you all sitting in the shade
Counting every dime I made
I'm so broke and I'm hungry too
I'm hungry too, ooh
Hungry too ooh
I'm so broke and I'm hungry too


17.Celebrate

Lyricist:Mark Chadwick, Jeremy Cunningham, Simon Friend, Charles
Heather, Jonathan Sevink

Amid the sound and lights on a table with friends
Everybody's fine, they're all drinking wine, yeah
Was there you fell in love, in a crowded room
Not for the first but for the thousandth time, yeah

So you celebrate, you celebrate, you celebrate your love
With a little house just made for two
With all the lovely things you can buy brand new
You gonna settle down just the both of you
You gonna be a good soul from now on, yeah

And when the sap first rose back in the day
You thought you'd play it smart the trail of broken hearts, yeah
You said, they won't find you, they won't find you
They won't find you just living in a box for two

But now you celebrate, you celebrate, you celebrate your love
With a little house just made for two
With all the lovely things you can buy brand new
You gonna settle down just the both of you

So when you catch an eye
And your dancing heart starts telling you the lies
You're doing it to survive
What else could hurt so much it makes you cry

Yes, you celebrate, you celebrate, you celebrate your love
With a little house just made for two
With all the lovely things you can buy brand new
You gonna settle down just the both of you
You gonna be a good soul from now on, yeah


18.The Likes Of You And I

Lyricist:Mark Chadwick, Jeremy James Cunningham, Simon Friend, Charles
Kenton Heather, Jonathan Sevink

Do you ever stop to think from time to time
'Bout the way the world's been left behind?
In another place, in another time
We could maybe change the way we think
Take the blinkers from our eyes

Do you think that she was maybe not alone?
Do you think there's someone out there?
Do you think that they might know?
And if they don't do you think they should be told
'Cause she's living in a nightmare running out of her control

Take the rope, take the blindfold from your eyes
Take the rope from 'round your neck
And take the blindfold from your eyes
Then you'll never be surprised
When they tell you that they love you
While they're eating you alive

Do you think you have the strength to carry on
Or has the black cat got your tongue?
Don't worry now the world's gonna be alright
'Cause the land has been here longer
Than the likes of you and I

Take the rope, take the blindfold from your eyes
Take the rope from 'round your neck
And take the blindfold from your eyes
Then you'll never be surprised
When they tell you that they love you
While they're eating you alive

Do you think that she was maybe not alone?
Do you think there's someone out there?
Do you think that they might know?
And if they don't do you think they should be told
'Cause she's living in a nightmare running out of her control

Take the rope, take the blindfold from your eyes
Take the rope from 'round your neck
And take the blindfold from your eyes

Take the rope, take the blindfold from your eyes
Take the rope from 'round your neck
And take the blindfold from your eyes
Then you'll never be surprised
When they tell you that they love you
While they're eating you alive


19.Warning

Lyricist:Mark Chadwick, Jeremy James Cunningham, Simon Friend, Charles
Kenton Heather, Jonathan Sevink

Summer UK '93
Controlled substances in hand
Flash photos on location
The final end solution, road block

Cash from chaos received
This sun burns more than you believe
The smell of C.S. gas
Confusion of the mass, cold sweat

Warning out of control
You know we know
Turning your face away
But where to go

Shake it down by any means
You know you've seen this all before
Broken words from loud hailer
Hands raised in the air and no tune

Armed surveillance last dance
Sparks fly at the first glance
Helpless face within the flame
First purge of the new game crass press

Warning out of control
You know we know
Turning your face away
But where to go

Warning out of control
You know we know
Turning your face away
But where to go


20.Dreams

Lyricist:Mark Chadwick, Jeremy James Cunningham, Simon Friend, Charles
Kenton Heather, Phil Johnstone, Jonathan Sevink

Take a look at the lines
In the jigsaw of humankind
What's there to see?
Who reaches for stars?

And who'll sit and stare
And confuse their visions
With pictures not there
Is the real world so far?

'Cos dreams come from life
No, not for everyone
Dreams come from life
Till the end they'll go on and on and on and on

'Cos I, oh I, oh I never would have thought of that
I, oh I, oh I never would have thought of that
Dreams come from life
But no, not for everyone
Dreams come from life
Well no, not for everyone

And the Microsoft touch
Of the future embraces us
With the dreams turn to dust
If there's nobody here

Because dreams come from life
But no, not for everyone
Dreams come from life
Till the end they'll go on and on and on and on

Oh I, oh I, oh I never would have thought of that
I, oh I, oh I never would have thought of that
Dreams come from life
No, not for everyone
Dreams come from life
No, not for everyone

'Cos I, oh I, oh I never would have thought of that
I, oh I, oh I never would have thought of that
Dreams come from life
No, not for everyone
Dreams come from life
Well, no, not for everyone


21.P.C. Keen

Lyricist:Mark Chadwick, Jeremy Cunningham, Charles Heather, Jonathan
Sevink

There's nothing new in this sad story
The slaughter of innocence without glory
At the foot of your hill without warning
The center of operations they attack in the morning

You can lie like a lame before them
You can dance in the dawn, you can even ignore them
But with your skin on file, there's no escape
P.C. Keen's got the snap shots, he knows your face

And the press will declare that you're all mad and insane
And you'll be accused of not playing the game

You'll stand in the court and declare your bravery
For fighting all this that brings us all slavery
But they won't even see you, they won't even hear you
Because you are the truth so nothing can save you

And the southern intelligence unit will say
'Thanks to you P.C. Keen, you've saved the day'


22.Is This Art ?

Lyricist:Mark Chadwick, Jeremy James Cunningham, Simon Friend, Charles
Kenton Heather, Jonathan Sevink

They took me to the battlefield
And I saw the mushroom clouds
I said, 'I can see the colors
Even when my head is bowed'

They showed me the destruction
The slaughter a la carte
And isn't nature wonderful
But is this art?

They took me to the hospital
And pulled aside the sheet
They said, 'Look at that pulsating
Just listen to the beat'

They showed me the incision
Then took away the heart
And isn't nature wonderful
But is this art?

They took me to the scientist
Who opened up a phial
He said, 'This is only chicken pox
And rhino bile'

And they showed me what it did to mice
Said, 'This is just the start'
And isn't nature wonderful
But is this art?

They took me to the tenement
And kicked down the door
They said, 'Have you seen the copulation
Practiced by the poor?'

'We select the ones to breed now
Then we reject the part'
And isn't nature wonderful
But is this art?

And isn't nature wonderful
But is this art?


23.C.C.T.V.

Lyricist:Mark Chadwick, Jeremy Cunningham, Simon Friend, Charles
Heather, Jonathan Sevink

You're there in black and white
Hundreds watch you every night

You've been starring in a film on every weekend
On video and stills with all of your friends
You're there in black and white
Hundreds watch you every night

You cannot hide
You cannot hide
You cannot

'Cos we can see you every where in the daytime
We can see you every where in the nighttime
We can see you every where for a lifetime
We can see you every where

You're great in every scene
You very natural
It's as if you cannot see
The spotlight on you

But when you fluff a line
The director says, you're doing time

You cannot hide
You cannot hide
You cannot

'Cos we can see you every where in the daytime
We can see you every where in the nighttime
We can see you every where for a lifetime
We can see you every where

When you're walking home
In the evening after dark
Remember don't hide
Show your best side

'Cos you're the star in a film

You cannot hide
You cannot hide
You cannot hide
You cannot hide

You cannot hide
You cannot hide
You cannot

'Cos we can see you every where in the daytime
We can see you every where in the nighttime
We can see you every where for a lifetime
We can see you every where


24.This Garden

Lyricist:Mark Chadwick, Jeremy James Cunningham, Simon Friend, Charles
Kenton Heather, Jonathan Sevink

Blood, sweat and tears
Really don't matter
Just the things that you do
In this garden

Blood, sweat and tears
Really don't matter
Just the things that you do
In this garden

I never thought, I'd see the day
When you became what you've become
It's easy now just to look away
And leave your conscience on the run

Spend so much time not looking for an answer
But someone else's to blame
As long as you don't take the drop
To you it's all the same

Blood, sweat and tears
Really don't matter
Just the things that you do
In this garden

Blood, sweat and tears
Really don't matter
Just the things that you do
In this garden

Sometimes, I like to get away
Chase a thought and fly
The people around here will never change
They're too scared to look outside

Community spirit, neighborhood watch
Curtains twitching all the time
Got to have a look at what next door's got
'Cos your credit's on the line

Blood, sweat and tears
Really don't matter
Just the things that you do
In this garden

Blood, sweat and tears
Really don't matter
Just the things that you do
In this garden

Don't waste your time with your visions of the future
And your party line
'Cos your eyes have blinded to the people in the gutter
Who are fighting to survive

When I was out, I saw a fox
He was fighting for his life
His eyes were wide but his mind was shut
To the red coat bugle cries

When he reached his home his path was blocked
By some sportsman's clever guise
If this is as far as your culture's got and I deny it

Blood, sweat and tears
Really don't matter
Just the things that you do
In this garden

Blood, sweat and tears
Really don't matter
Just the things that you do
In this garden

Blood, sweat and tears
Really don't matter

Blood, sweat and tears
Really don't matter

Really don't matter
Really don't matter


25.Voices On The Wind

Lyricist:Mark Chadwick, Jeremy James Cunningham, Simon Friend, Charles
Kenton Heather, Phil Johnstone, Jonathan Sevink

There's a man on the mountain
Who hides himself away
A voice on the wind there
Is telling him to stay

He knows on the outside
The world has looked away
From that night in the valley
When they took them all away

Now the rock of ages
Has broken at his feet
The history of centuries
Lies scattered down the street

The houses are all empty now
Left broken there to die
The children's playground
Burned and gone with no-one left to cry

Can you hear it
Can you hear the sound of voices
Carried on the wind

Can you hear it
Can you hear the sound of voices
Carried on the wind

He drowned himself in sorrow
And he drowned himself in drink
He drowned himself in self-pity
Until it made him sick

He knew he was no master
Just a slave to himself
To the voices that have tortured him
That he'll take to his grave

Can you hear it
Can you hear the sound of voices
Carried on the wind

Can you hear it
Can you hear the sound of voices
Carried on the wind

Time passes slowly
Sometimes he's at a loss
And he wishes he could change it all
But you can't turn back the clock

He picks up the broken pieces
Of that so sacred rock
And he takes them to a safer place
Where they'll be forever lost

Can you hear it
Can you hear the sound of voices
Carried on the wind

Can you hear it
Can you hear the sound of voices
Carried on the wind

Can you hear the sound of voices
Carried on the wind
Can you hear the sound of voices
Carried on the wind


26.The Player

Lyricist:Mark Chadwick, Jeremy James Cunningham, Simon Friend, Charles
Kenton Heather, Jonathan Sevink

There isn't much to gain
By living it all the same way
The years just slip away
And it's too late then to play

If you live from day to day
You can play the game your own way
There's a million things to say
In a million places

For her, it stays the same
Though a million towers have tumbled
And you can hear her pain
Voiced in a distant rumble

And when it starts to rain
All your monoliths will crumble
Well, it's always been the same
Don't you feel a little humble?

She came up to me
Said, 'Wanna know a mystery?
A whole wide world for you to see
You're a player in the game'

She came up to me
Said, 'Wanna know a mystery?
A whole wide world for you to see
You're a player in the game'

Well, I've nothing left to say
Except take the time to ramble
In a million different ways
There's a million paths to travel

When there's something in the way
Take your time please remember
There's hope yet in the rain
And a voice in distant thunder

She came up to me
Said, 'Wanna know a mystery?
A whole wide world for you to see
You're a player in the game'

She came up to me
Said, 'Wanna know a mystery?
A whole wide world for you to see
You're a player in the game'


27.4 A.M.

Lyricist:Mark Chadwick, Jeremy Cunningham, Charles Heather, Jonathan
Sevink

It's 4 O'clock in the morning
We're still putting the world to rights
The whiskeys started talking
There's a fire in your eyes

Conspiracy lies heavily
In every word you breath
Contentious bones widely known
Watering the seed

Be sure to send a postcard
When you get there let me know
You know that I won't stop you when you go

It's 5 O'clock in the morning
And you're glad to be alive
The booze has finished working
The world is on your side

It's clear to see this tyranny
Is all some kind of plot
You secretly confide in me
Where's there's brass there's muck

Be sure to send a postcard
When you get there let me know
You know that I won't stop you when you go

Be sure to send a postcard
When you get there let me know
I hope that you can make it on your own

It's 6 O'clock in the morning
And there's nowhere left to hide
Now we've seen the dawning
All that's left is our goodbye

It's hard to see the sanity
In what we call our lives
At times it seems that you just need
To follow what's inside

Be sure to send a postcard
When you get there let me know
You know that I won't stop you when you go

Be sure to send a postcard
When you get there let me know
I hope that you can make it on your own

Be sure to send a postcard
When you get there let me know
I hope that you can make it on your own


28.Happy Birthday Revolution

Lyricist:Mark Chadwick, Jeremy James Cunningham, Simon Friend, Charles
Kenton Heather, Phil Johnstone, Hammer Rev, Jonathan Sevink

Car horns and rumba music
Through the city's broken heart
Is this the devil's
Own back yard

It was forty years ago
That the gangster he fell
To a rag, bag of men
The world remembers well

Happy Birthday Revolution
Happy Birthday Revolution
I'm standing here
Watching the world fall apart
Watching the world fall apart

Our leader he was young
Gallant and divine
It was the age
Of blood and romance

They shot him in Bolivia
No tear did we cry
For how many men
Can choose the way that they die

Happy Birthday Revolution
Happy Birthday Revolution
I'm standing here
Watching the world fall apart
Watching the world fall apart

We paint him on buildings
With sadness in his eyes
If we suffer hungry days
Then we call it sacrifice

Some say his dream is full of holes
We have dignity and pride
We have independence
Or is it just a Yankee lie

Happy Birthday Revolution
Happy Birthday Revolution
I'm standing here
Watching the world fall apart
Watching the world fall apart

Happy Birthday Revolution
Happy Birthday Revolution
Happy Birthday Revolution
Happy Birthday Revolution

Happy Birthday Revolution
I'm standing here
Watching the world fall apart
Watching the world fall apart
Just watching the world fall apart


29.Haven't Made It Yet

Lyricist:Mark Chadwick, Jeremy James Cunningham, Simon Friend, Charles
Kenton Heather, Jonathan Sevink

You know when the sky is blue
And the wind cuts right through
The sun shines on you alone
Every step will take you nearer, nearer home

And I love the river
That carries us on in one direction
Bringing me nearer, nearer home

But you haven' made it yet
No, you still haven't made it yet

The sky turns grey and the river runs high
Running faster passes you by
Ghosts of life are following you
With a bit of luck we can make it through

I thought I heard you sigh
When you thought that you were there
World turns for you alone
Every step takes you nearer, nearer home

But you haven' made it yet
No, you still haven't made it yet

The sky turns grey and the river runs high
Running faster passes you by
Ghosts of life are following you
With a bit of luck we can make it through

But you haven' made it yet
No, you still haven't made it yet
No, you haven' made it yet
No, you still haven't made it yet


30.Julie

Lyricist:Mark Chadwick, Jeremy James Cunningham, Simon Friend, Charles
Kenton Heather, Pipe Major H. Mackay, Jonathan Sevink,
Traditional

Julie was a lonely girl
She said, 'She was born that way'
She always felt that way

She left home at age sixteen
Got a job what you're supposed to do
That's what you've got to do

She fell in love and settled down
In a council place
There on the edge of town

She'd feel alone in a crowded room
Cry when she heard a happy tune

Well, it would be nice to holiday
Till they took her job away
They just took her life away

Doing nothing isn't fun
When you've nothing from witch to run
Yeah, nowhere left to run

She'd visit the social every day
Every time be turned away
Every time be turned away

She'd feel alone in a crowded room
Cry when she heard a happy tune

A hundred stairs to her new room
Over glass and blackened spoons
Children grow old so soon

Past the kids who gather there
Pain masked by narcotic stares
But no one really cares

Her dreams were cut up and bled dry
A million voices in her cry
Julie waits, her world is her windows

And Julie hates, just what she doesn't know
But Julie hates, she hates the world below
But Julie loves, she loves too much to know


31.Sold England

Lyricist:Mark Chadwick, Jeremy James Cunningham, Simon Friend, Charles
Kenton Heather, Phil Johnstone, Jonathan Sevink

This is the tale of old England
We've got rocks and coke
We've got kids that smoke
Pram pushers and devil's folk in old England

What's the weather, sunshine or rain?
Smiling faces asking for a change
Watch the news
Could grow great again, again

From the harvest to the flatlands
We're for sale in old England
From the back streets to the old lanes
We're for sale in old England
In old England

Where every penny's pinched in old England
What's the weather, sunshine or rain?
Smiling faces asking for a change
Watch the news
Could we grow great again

From the harvest to the flatlands
We're for sale in old England
From the back streets to the old lanes
We're for sale in old England
In old England

Well, here's a hand in my pocket
There's a fight for my life
He was sitting on the fence
When they moved to the right

The sham is a shame
And there's always the rain
And everybody's loving it

From the harvest to the flatlands
We're for sale in old England
From the back streets to the old lanes
We're for sale in old England

From the harvest to the flatlands
We're for sale in old England
From the back streets to the old lanes
We're for sale in old England
In old England


32.Hope Street

Lyricist:Mark Chadwick, Jeremy James Cunningham, Simon Friend, Charles
Kenton Heather, Jonathan Sevink

There's a young boy in the queue
Not much else for him to do
He's had a drink, he's had a few
Down the pub on Hope Street

Dear old lady, you're looking thin
Got a shopping bag with your life in
Your old man's going through the bins
So it goes out on Hope Street

Rain on me come pouring down
Clean the dirt off this old town
Tell the sun to come around
Show his face on Hope Street

There's a fight right down the street
The betting shop has got him beat
He blew his money for the week
On a horse called Hope Street

No old faces out today
Someone took them all away
Cleaning up or so they say
The dirty face of Hope Street

Rain on me come pouring down
Clean the dirt off this old town
Tell the sun to come around
Show his face on Hope Street

Rain on me come pouring down
Clean the dirt off this old town
Tell the sun to come around
Show his face on Hope Street

Everyday I look at you
Dressed up in your ties of blue
Saying there's not much you can do
Help the kids on Hope Street

They don't seem to even care
That it was you that put them there
You seem to think they like it there
Hanging out on Hope Street

Rain on me come pouring down
Clean the dirt off this old town
Tell the sun to come around
Show his face on Hope Street


33.100 Years Of Solitude

Lyricist:Mark Chadwick, Jeremy James Cunningham, Simon Friend, Charles
Kenton Heather, Jonathan Sevink

All around you slow decay
Wanna feel the sun of the new day
Forget the chances that you lost
Shedding innocence like falling dust

All the things you learned too young
The songs you knew but you never sung
You waited a long time, you wasted more
Forgotten what you waited for

Excuse me ma'am for being so rude
Feels like 100 years of solitude
But my mind is numb and my mouth's okay
And you can listen or just walk away

No solutions built to last
Just your petty scores to settle fast
The N M E meant nothing to you
And the maker, well the maker of who

Your Walkman generation
In search of sweet sedation
While forests choke under a 'lever sky
And the Exxon birds will never fly

Excuse me ma'am for being so rude
Feels like 100 years of solitude
But my mind is numb and my mouth's okay
And you can listen or just walk away

We tried, we cried, we fell, we lied
This life's like one white knuckle ride
Crack babies born too young
And L.A. kids who will dance to the gun

Forget this so called dirt of mine
It's just the dust and diesel of the passing time
It's all around you it's a tragedy, look
So forget the cover just read the book

Excuse me ma'am for being so rude
Feels like 100 years of solitude
But my mind is numb and my mouth's okay
And you can listen or just walk away


34.Modern Day Tragedy

Lyricist:Mark Chadwick, Jeremy James Cunningham, Simon Friend, Charles
Kenton Heather, Phil Johnstone, Jonathan Sevink

Been some places in my time
Seen some faces down the line
Nothing like you, ain't nothing like you
Nothing like you, ain't nothing like you

North wind blowing cracks my lips
Cold tomorrow's tearing strips
Nothing like you, nothing like you now
Nothing like you, ain't nothing like you now

Look at the things you've got now
It's a modern day tragedy
I hear the things you say now
It's a, such a travesty

Look at the things you've got now
It's a modern day tragedy
Hear the things you say now
Oh, such a travesty

Look at the things you've got now
It's a modern day tragedy
Hear the things you say now

Nothing like you, nothing like you now
Nothing like you, nothing like you now
Nothing like you

Been some places in my time
I've seen some faces down the line
Ain't nothing like you, ain't nothing like you now
Ain't nothing like you

North wind blowing cracks my lips
Cold tomorrow's tearing strips
Ain't nothing like you, ain't nothing like you now
Ain't nothing like you, ain't nothing like you now

Look at the things you've got now
It's a modern day tragedy
Hear the things you say now
Oh, such a travesty

Like you now, nothing like you now
Nothing like you now, nothing like you now
Ain't nothing like you now, ain't nothing like you now

Ain't nothing like you, ain't nothing like you
Ain't nothing like you, nothing like you now


35.Exodus

Lyricist:Mark Chadwick, Jeremy Cunningham, Charles Heather, Jonathan
Sevink

It's simple because it is the people
Fighting for and claiming what remains
And dreaming, this is not dreaming
This is the Exodus from the game

Dance beneath the stars
(We, the sound system, we, the collective)
With an open heart
(We, the solution should be respected)

At midnight, the pharisees plant the poison
False evidence to bring all back in line
It's no method just dealing out by justice
When no one here's committed any crime

Dance beneath the stars
(We, the sound system, we, the collective)
With an open heart
(We, the solution should be respected)

We'll turn the dust to soil
Turn the rust of hate back into passion
Not water into wine but it's here
And it's happening, massive but passive
To bring the peace back

Respect here, respect for all the people
Good copper, jah lawyer all good minds
Can see, can see there is no evil
The only wrong is fighting changing times

Dance beneath the stars
(We, the sound system, we, the collective)
With an open heart
(We, the solution should be respected)

Dance beneath the stars
(We, the sound system, we, the collective)
With an open heart
(We, the solution should be respected)


36.Invisible

Lyricist:Mark Chadwick, Jeremy James Cunningham, Simon Friend, Charles
Kenton Heather, Phil Johnstone, Jonathan Sevink

I'm in pain, baby
A little hung over maybe
Have you seen my head?
Has anybody seen my head?
Just when did I become invisible?
Can you tell me when I became invisible?

I'm so sorry, officer
I'm so sorry, officer
Have you seen my legs?
Has anybody seen my legs?
Just when did I become invisible?
Can you tell me when I became invisible?

(Walk through walls even walk through lives)
Walk through walls, even through lives
(Walk through walls even walk through lives)
Nobody notices my disguise
(Walk through walls even walk through lives)
So tell me when did I become invisible

I was here yesterday
I'm sure I was here yesterday
Do you remember my face?
Please remember my face
Just when did I become invisible?
Tell me when did I become invisible?

(Walk through walls even walk through lives)
I can walk through walls, even through lives
(Walk through walls even walk through lives)
Nobody notices my disguise
(Walk through walls even walk through lives)

lives
(Walk through walls even walk through lives)
I can walk through walls, even through lives
(Walk through walls even walk through lives)
But tell me when did I become
(Walk through walls even walk through lives)

Tell me when did I become
(Walk through walls even walk through lives)
Tell me when did I become invisible
When did I become divisible
Tell me when did I become visible


37.Broken Circles

Lyricist:Mark Chadwick, Jeremy James Cunningham, Simon Friend, Charles
Kenton Heather, Jonathan Sevink

Fired forty rounds in the center of town
He thought to bring the world around
Sleepless nights with God and Christ
The New Messiah

Burn the world to change the days
Can be done in better ways
But to make news and front page
You've got to aim higher

They didn't build Jerusalem
They didn't find the land
For reasons of security
They couldn't find the plans

And we're left standing, watching from below
No new songs, no new heroes
Standing on the sidelines watching the flow
Waiting for the day the circle's broken

Took the mic to save day
The rock star's going to have his say
Interpret things in any way as if it matters
'Cause nothing's black and nothing's white
Nothing appears to be quite right
It'll be this way until the day, the circle's shattered

I hear an old song yesterday about a better world
You know the story well, they're all the same
The boy gets the girl

And we're left standing watching from below
No new songs, no new heroes
Standing on the sidelines watching the flow
Waiting for the day the circle's broken

From the tips of your fingers, the rest is numb
You begin to feel the warmth of the sun
It's taking away been taking away
All you once knew

Taking it back takes all you've got
No time to sit and watch it rot
Believe it's yours and not the lies
Or all hell to you

They didn't build Jerusalem
They didn't find the land
For reasons of security
They couldn't find the plans

And we're left standing, watching from below
No new songs and no new heroes
Standing on the sidelines watching the flow
Waiting for the day the circle's broken


38.Do It Again Tomorrow

Lyricist:Mark Chadwick, Jeremy James Cunningham, Simon Friend, Charles
Kenton Heather, Phil Johnstone, Jonathan Sevink

She's the queen of my life
Everyday it seems a miracle
She's the love of my life
Every time she lights the candle
She turns and says to me

Can we do it again tomorrow?
Can we do it again tomorrow?
Can we do it again tomorrow?
Can we do it again tomorrow?

Maybe this time's not over again
Maybe this time's not over again
Maybe this time

We make the most of our time
What's here today is ours tomorrow
There's a fire in her eyes
She breaks the chain and frees the animal
Turns and says to me

Can we do it again tomorrow?
Can we do it again tomorrow?
Can we do it again tomorrow?
Can we do it again tomorrow?

She holds the keys to my mind
She stole my heart, still seems incredible
When she's near, it's alright
When everything just seems impossible
She turns and says to me

Can we do it again tomorrow?
Can we do it again tomorrow?
Can we do it again tomorrow?
Can we do it again tomorrow?

Maybe this time's not over again
Maybe this time's not over again
Maybe this time's not over again

39.Edge Of The World

Lyricist:Mark Chadwick, Jeremy James Cunningham, Simon Friend, Charles
Kenton Heather, Phil Johnstone, Hammer Rev, Jonathan Sevink

At the edge of the world nothing is said
Call a witness, conversation is dead

We pray for the coming but we don't hear a word
We're waiting around the edge of the world

The loneliest place I know is my own street
And your very own words are the hardest to eat

From the shadows of plastic where you shout to be heard
You're just sitting around at the edge of the world

The telephone is lying there on the floor
Somehow the moss just creeps round the door

And everyone's crying from a painful blow
That came down the cable centuries ago

Three men from the east correctly concurred
And left us in shackles at the edge of the world

The edge of the world, yeah, the edge of the world
They left us in pieces at the edge of the world

The edge of the world, oh, the edge of the world
We're all waiting in pieces at the edge of the world

The edge of the world, yeah, the edge of the world
We're all waiting in pieces at the edge of the world

The edge of the world, oh, the edge of the world
We're all waiting in pieces at the edge of the world

The edge of the world, yeah, the edge of the world
We're all waiting in pieces at the edge of the world


40.Just The One

Lyricist:Mark Chadwick, Jeremy Cunningham, Charles Heather, Jonathan
Sevink

Do you fancy a drink, just the one
To clear your head, we won't be long
It's a beautiful day to waste away
There's plenty of time for another one

You know you shouldn't do it
But see no reason why
So you blow your mind
Yeah, yeah, uh-ha

Make mine a short, getting there
But where there is, I couldn't care
There must be something I haven't tried
Perhaps that bottle before my eyes

You know you shouldn't do it
But you see no reason why
So you blow your mind
Yeah, yeah, uh-ha

I feel the haze, the sun goes down
It's getting late, let's hit the town
Call some friends to paint it red
Feed the animal, in your head

You know you shouldn't do it
But you see no reason why
So you blow your mind
Yeah, yeah, uh-ha

They throw you out, you hit the night
You go to a club, you feel alright
You get a pill, you take just half
Then take the rest of it for a laugh

You know you shouldn't do it
But you see no reason why
So you blow your mind
Yeah, yeah, uh-ha

The rest is blank and that's the worst
An empty head for an empty purse
You had a laugh, so you think
But in the morning you just stink

You know you shouldn't do it
But you see no reason why
So you blow your mind
Yeah, yeah, uh-ha

So you fancy a drink, just the one
To clear your head, we won't be long


41.Saturday To Sunday

Lyricist:Mark Chadwick, Jeremy Cunningham, Charles Heather, Jonathan
Sevink

Saturday to Sunday's waste
Then Monday's soon around
It's time to leave the nightlife first

And catch the last bus out of town
And the sentiment of the last song that I heard
Stays with me as if I'd written every word

I thought I saw an open door
With a bright light shining through
But what it was I don't recall

I think you've seen it, too
And these are the days and the ways I've known
Dreaming that this bird has flown

And if you burn your fingers in the fire
Remember me and my desire
Might be easier this way

Could be easier that way
It's gotta be easier this way
If you're trying to change the world

I saw a film, just made for me
Said, you've got to walk the line
The day will come when I feed the flames

I'm just biding my time
And these are the days and the ways I've known
Just dreaming that this bird has flown

And if you burn your fingers in the fire
Remember me and my desire
Might be easier this way

Could be easier that way
It's gotta be easier this way

It's gonna be easier this way
Must be easier that way
It's gotta be easier this way
When you're trying to change the world


42.Red Sun Burns

Lyricist:Mark Chadwick, Jeremy James Cunningham, Simon Friend, Charles
Kenton Heather, Phil Johnstone, Jonathan Sevink

She took the world up
She was higher than the sun
She didn't have a need
She didn't really want for anyone
She didn't ask for any of this

She painted in the dark
Truth turned into light
Men came in the night
And they set her world alight
She didn't ask for any of this

But the red sun burns
Brighter in the night
Red sun burns
To make you feel alright

But everywhere you go
There's still not enough
For everyone

They left her in the ash
Tears lay in her eyes
She swore no one would take
More than they could create
She didn't ask for any of this

She took the world on
She was higher than the sun
She didn't have a need
She didn't really want for anyone
And she didn't ask for any of this

But the red sun burns
Brighter in the night
Red sun burns
To make you feel alright

But everywhere you go
Here's still not enough
For everyone


43.Walk Lightly

Lyricist:Mark Chadwick, Jeremy James Cunningham, Simon Friend, Charles
Kenton Heather, Phil Johnstone, Jonathan Sevink

Half an hour is gone and here we belong
Living it so it can't be wrong
'Cos I was born the wrong way round
Growing up while coming down
But I didn't even know this
When you took me by the hand

That you talk ever so lightly
Lately and you walk ever so slowly

I didn't know and I didn't care
What there was that could catch your breath
But a moment gone is a moment caught
And in half an hour I was taught
That I didn't need to know this
When you walked out of the night

That you talk ever so lightly
Lately and you walk ever so slowly

I didn't move and I didn't breath
To be there where you were
I didn't think 'cos I didn't know
That half an hour spent
And all of the days and all of the ways
Will be there when you are gone

'Cos you talk ever so lightly
Lately and you walk ever so slowly

Half an hour's gone and we're still together
Walking now beneath the weather
All the dreams, all the pains
All that's come back again
We don't need to be there
When it comes on, oh, so low

Because you talk ever so lightly
Lately and you walk ever so slowly

Come on this time but not for us
To be there when we're gone
And all of the world and all of the days
Are just half an hour long
And all of the lives of all of the Gods
Will envy us our song

'Cos you talk ever so lightly
Lately and you walk ever so slowly
Yes, you talk ever so lightly, baby


44.61 Minutes Of Pleading

Lyricist:Mark Chadwick, Jeremy James Cunningham, Simon Friend, Charles
Kenton Heather, Phil Johnstone, Jonathan Sevink

As the blood flowed, Lorraine knew
There'd be nobody coming, nobody's coming
As the blood flowed, Lorraine knew
There'd be nobody coming

The call came in
Lorraine shot down
Her husband pulled the trigger
And then he blew his brains out

At the other end
The police took a call
They didn't believe
That he was dead at all

So they wouldn't help her
And she knew

It had been twenty years
Since they fell in love
He's brought a lot of pain
But now he's brought a lot of blood

And he's taken more
Than his share

'We can't lose a life'
The police chief said
'There's an armed man in there
Who'd be better off dead'
As Lorraine bled from the legs

As the blood flowed, Lorraine knew
There'd be nobody coming, nobody's coming
As the blood flowed, Lorraine knew
That there'd be nobody coming

Speak to me now
But all she could say was
I don't want to die like this
So they said they're on their way

That she was Lorraine
So they didn't let her die with even her name
As she left us all in pain

As the blood flowed, Lorraine knew
There'd be nobody coming, nobody's coming
As the blood flowed, Lorraine knew
That there'd be nobody coming


45.Gold And Silver

Lyricist:Mark Chadwick, Jeremy James Cunningham, Simon Friend, Charles
Kenton Heather, Phil Johnstone, Jonathan Sevink

You smile at the rain while counting your change
That's what you do
Take a walk in the town that saw you drown
That's what you do

Chance come and make me
These times are for taking
Gold and silver
All that you've got

Dance before me in a glass
To closest that I ever got
Rubies, diamonds are
All that you've got

Crawling over broken glass
Well, can't you love?

The lights are erased, get out of my way
So much to do
The bills that you pay are here to stay
One more for you

Love please believe me
These times are for taking
Gold and silver
All that you've got

Dance before me in a glass
To closest that I ever got
Rubies, diamonds are
All that you've go

Crawling over broken glass
Won't get you love
Won't buy you love

Brass and tin for your sins
Thank you

Messages come, messages sent
That's what you do
Looking so tired, hired and fired
That's what you do

Breath don't forsake me
These times are for taking
Gold and silver
All that you've got

Dance before me in a glass
To closest that I ever got
Rubies, diamonds are
All that you've got

Crawling over broken glass
Won't get you love
Won't buy you love
Can't buy you love


46.Fantasy

Lyricist:Mark Chadwick, Jeremy Cunningham, Charles Heather, Jonathan
Sevink

He thought he was drunk as can be
New white skinny rebel was he
Because he knew what mattered
It's all in a clatter of the bands he'd seen

Now, his words of wisdom would shock
Whether he meant them or not
He'd save the world, all the boys and the girls
But another single's all he'd be

That's sad, that's right
Another night of someone else's fantasy
That's sad, that's right
Another night of someone else's fantasy

He thought he was cool with his tunes
He practiced the knack in his room
And in the evenings, he'd DJ with the slider at plus eight
Believing at his feet we swoon

Now he's always there in the queue
While down on the dance floor it's you
And when he starts playing, he's up there playing
You don't notice that they're not his tunes

That's sad, that's right
Another night of someone else's fantasy
That's sad, that's right
Another night of someone else's fantasy

That's sad, that's right
Another night of someone else's fantasy
That's sad, that's right
Another night of someone else's fantasy

He thought he could measure the world
Because he loved the flag when unfurled
First he's a lawyer, excellent debater
You should have heard the mud he hurled

Now you've seen his face on TV
Leading parliamentary
When he makes decisions that meet your derision
He reminds us all that we're free

That's sad, that's right
Another night of someone else's fantasy
That's sad, that's right
Another night of someone else's fantasy

That's sad, that's right
Another night of someone else's fantasy
That's sad, that's right
Another night of someone else's fantasy, fantasy


47.Dirty Davey

Lyricist:Nick Burbridge

Dirty Davey's down the front
He's met the coppers there
They'll take you in 'cause they hate your skin
And you're dragged away by the hair

It's a kick in the head and a prison bed
And you tell me it's the law

Well Davey's out on two weeks bail
And he's down the town to score
When it all falls in and he's pinned by the chin
And they've busted every floor

It's a kick in the head and a prison bed
And you tell me it's the law

Davey's down the old gray squat
And he's lying with his lass
Brick through the pane and he's out on the lane
With the bailiffs and the glass

It's a kick in the head and a prison bed
And you tell me it's the law

The court comes up on a Monday morning
And Davey's in the dock
He can't stop his tears when he gets two years
And he can't turn back the clock

It's a kick in the head and a prison bed
And you tell me it's the law

Well Davey's had it up to here
Banging his head on the wall
So he's tied his pants to the prison bars
And he's hung till he's clear of it all

It's a kick in the head and a prison bed
And you tell me it's the law

There's a law for the rich and a law for the poor
And a law for Dirty Davey
His body's gone but his soul lives on
Here's to you Dirty Davey

It's a kick in the head and a prison bed
And you tell me it's the law

Corrupt, corrupt from the bottom to the top
And you tell me it's the law

Corrupt, corrupt from the bottom to the top
And you tell me it's the law

Corrupt, corrupt from the bottom to the top
And you tell me it's the law

Corrupt, corrupt from the bottom to the top
And you tell me it's the law


48.Men-an-Tol

Lyricist:Mark Chadwick, Jeremy Cunningham, Charles Heather, Jonathan
Sevink

So I find myself among
The brave Southwestern hills
Running like a madman on the moor

Let the sweet Atlantic rain
Wash away my youth
The Men-An-Tol shone strangely in the storm

I get the strangest feeling
In the air around
It's more than just a feeling

A different way of seeing
A different kind of life
Something I believe in

But in amongst the city lights
The feeling's not so clean
Neon lights and faceless signs
Hide what I hold dear

It's there to find
If you have the mind
And you don't live in fear of it

I rest among what still remains
Of life's that passed before
Lighting strikes the top of Zen nor Tor

I find myself amazed again
At man's pathetic score
Years of knowledge wasted and ignored

I get the strangest feeling
In the air around
It's more than just a feeling

A different way of seeing
A different kind of life
Something I believe in

Here amongst the city lights
Feeling's not so clean
Faceless lights with neon shine
Hide what I hold dear

It's there to find
If you have the mind
And you don't live in fear of it

I get the strangest feeling
Something I believe in

Here amongst the city lights
Feeling's not so clean
Faceless lights with neon signs
Hide what I hold dear

It's there to find
If you have the mind
And you don't live in fear of it

I get the strangest feeling
It's more than just a feeling

A different way of seeing
A different kind of life
It's something I believe in


49.Belaruse

Lyricist:Mark Chadwick, Jeremy James Cunningham, Simon Friend, Charles
Kenton Heather, Jonathan Sevink

Belaruse no longer feels the sun
But it's under the skin of everyone
Belaruse, forgotten by the blind
That is until the next time

Remember all your yesterdays
In the deep blue
Before the world came
And rested there on you

And if the sun and moon were both to doubt
Sure enough they'd both go out
When you can't walk in your field
Feel water in your hands
You've been touched by the doubt of man

Remember all your yesterdays
In the deep blue
Before the world came
And rested there on you

Remember all your yesterdays
In the deep blue
Before the world came
And rested there on you


50.Leave This Town

Lyricist:Mark Chadwick, Jeremy Cunningham, Charles Heather, Jonathan
Sevink

Wasting time at nowhere very special
Seems almost a part of it these days
I know every crack along the pavement
I remember what you said in '88

You said, 'It's time to leave this town
The world keeps turning 'round
The only thing that keeps me here is you'

You said, 'It's time to leave this town
The world keeps turning 'round
The only thing that keeps me here is you'

I'm drinking in the same bar where I met you
Without you it wouldn't be the same
We talk for hours and hours 'bout different places
You said that you would see them all some day

You said, 'It's time to leave this town
The world keeps turning 'round
The only thing that keeps me here is you'

You said, 'It's time to leave this town
The world keeps turning 'round
The only thing that keeps me here is you'

You were always so good with words
The tales you told we've heard
The thing you said to me that day
Will never fade in memory that time is unforgiving
You know that I won't make it without you

No matter just what window you look out of
The view just never ever seems to change
And I swear that we ain't getting any younger
But we'll chase all of our dreams all the same

You said, 'It's time to leave this town
The world keeps turning 'round
The only thing that keeps me here is you'

You said, 'It's time to leave this town
The world keeps turning 'round
The only thing that keeps me here is you'

Just another lonely winter's day


51.Elation

Lyricist:Mark Chadwick, Jeremy Cunningham, Simon Friend, Charles
Heather, Jonathan Sevink

Oh, there was once a man who had lost his own smile
And he wandered the country mile after mile
Never quite knowing what he wanted to find
For his heart, it lay heavy with the weight of his mind

And he looked at the land through the tears in his eyes
For he knew that there were those who would will her to die
And he wept for his mother as he lay at her feet
And he heard a voice singing him softly to sleep

I'll be your queen, I'll be your mother, I'll be your mystical
child
Be your best friend, your lover, your wife for all time
Will there ever be another, in this life of mine
Will there ever be another, like my mystical child

So, he climbed a high hill and he looked out to sea
And he heard a voice calling out softly to him
Open your heart boy for it needs to be free
And the next time you're crying come running to me

So, he walked through the valleys the trees and the fields
And he came to a river where she waited for him
And they looked at the water of life flowing by
And he heard a voice saying, 'You're not alone in the fight'


52.Shadow On The Sun

Lyricist:Mark Chadwick, Jeremy James Cunningham, Simon Friend, Charles
Kenton Heather, Jonathan Sevink

We've been singing since the morning
'Til the setting of the sun
We sing of everything forever
'Cause we've been going for so long
We sing the heart of the cold song
Ever since we started the only one

It's got words that bring us heaven
It's got words that give us hell
It's got tunes that shine like diamonds
And vicious notes as well
It's the feel of warm rain
The song of forever the unbroken chain

There's a shadow on the sun that used to shine so brightly
For some it all goes wrong, who refuse to step lightly
There's a break in the clouds, let the cold sun on me
Like the new born doubt, that nothing's ever gonna be free

It tells the sentiment of growing
And a tale of lonely death
It says everything worth knowing
'Til you draw another breath
Hear the clouds ring on
The song of forever the only one

There's a shadow on the sun that used to shine so brightly
For some it all goes wrong, who refuse to step lightly
There's a break in the clouds, let the cold sun on me
Like the new born doubt, that nothing's ever gonna be free

And it gets me like nothing gets me
Then it throws me right back down
It holds me then it chokes me
As it lays me on the ground

Some will write a new line then some will pass in on
Some just sing the same verse but most will get it wrong
Play the heart of a cold song
Ever since we started the only one

There's a shadow on the sun that used to shine so brightly
For some it all goes wrong, who refuse to step lightly
There's a break in the clouds, let the cold sun on me
Like the new born doubt, that nothing's ever gonna be free

That's the heart of a cold song
We sing the heart of the cold song
That's the heart of all songs
That's the heart of a cold song


53.Too Real

Lyricist:Mark Chadwick, Jeremy Cunningham, Simon Friend, Charles
Heather, Jonathan Sevink

Here she comes, the great leveler
King and serfs bow before her
If you feel her eyes on you, run

She'll come and put her arms around you
You lie and say, she hasn't found you
You'll run to her she's there to greet you

Are you lost to us forever
Tied in lust strapped in leather
Is the cost way beyond you
Do you love her more than you love yourself

Is it just too real
Cold clear for you to feel
Is it just too real
Cold clear for you to feel

Am I far in the distance
Am I the cure or a symptom
Should I go when you tell me to

Can you tell I've never loved her
Because my life is for another
Who's up and down, but will take me there

I don't claim to understand her
But hand in hand I am with her
Bright and clear and with a future
You can come and join us if you dare

I sing, but you can't speak
I laugh, but you can't smile
L love, but you lie low

I look, you don't see
I talk, you don't hear
I walk then you will crawl low
You've got to let her go


54.Sleeping

Lyricist:Mark Chadwick, Jeremy James Cunningham, Simon Friend, Charles
Kenton Heather, Matthew Savage, Jonathan Mark Sevink

You were born out of one
But you were made as two
You were made to go on
You've forgotten what to do

So wake up now I'm begging you
You sleep and sleep on
It's all you ever do
Has your comfort now gone

When you look around the room
And remember the fire, the fire in you
The sleeping excuse that's all you ever do
And it's really no use

When there's so much left for us to do
Can you make some time
For what is always yours and mine
I've seen you cutting loose

I've seen you stretched out on the line
Try and remember the truth
Without you we're all no use
Wake up, my friend


55.Knot Around The World

Lyricist:Mark Chadwick, Jeremy James Cunningham, Simon Friend, Charles
Kenton Heather, Matthew Savage, Jonathan Mark Sevink

Take this cause and this lie
Go tie a knot around the world
Take up arms its your right
To tie a knot around the world

If that's all you want
That's all you'll be
Statistically unkown to me

'Cause it's not what you fight
Or how that you win
You're embracing the night
When you begin

A soldier, a hero
That's not what you became tonight
A trophy, a figure
All on the news at ten tonight

If that's all you want
That's all you'll be
Statistically unkown to me


56.Steel Knife

Lyricist:Mark Chadwick, Jeremy James Cunningham, Simon Friend, Charles
Kenton Heather, Matthew Savage, Jonathan Mark Sevink

I dreamt I felt a steel knife slide smooth across a throat
The blood that came forth, well it ended all the hope
This was the passion and this was the pain
This was a beginning and this was the end

Don't tell me that it's over
Take me out of this sun
Let this darkness carry on
Take me out of this sun

I woke to find this whole world weary in its fight
Searching for the mercy left fumbling in the night
A moments liberation when the world is done
The gentle touch of lovers and this whole things begun

So don't tell me that it's over

I dreamt I felt a steel knife slide smooth across a throat
A moment's hesitation before you kill the hope
Is this the passion is this the pain
Is this the ending or do we start again

Just don't tell me that it's over
Take me out of this sun
Let this darkness carry on
Take me out of this


57.The Damned

Lyricist:Mark Chadwick, Jeremy James Cunningham, Simon Friend, Charles
Kenton Heather, Matthew Savage, Jonathan Mark Sevink

You'll find us caught in the middle
Of our everyday in every way
You'll see us looking for a reason
In everyday in every way

We slave and steal but what we just don't want
We just can't feel no we just can't feel
Were always surprised when we don't get heard
When we speak our words when we speak our words
'It's not enough', we say 'cause we the damned, we wait

You'll find us with a painted smile
Trying to get things done just to get along
You'll find us trying to chase down dreams
As they float upstream, as they float upstream

It's been so long we've forgotten how to care
For the things we lost that are deep down there
But through every new fad, through every phase
Pleased every God, worship every craze

It's not enough we say 'cause we the damned we wait
Pass the time with a little bit of distraction
We pass the time with a little self destruction
We grasp at times moments of satisfaction
'Cause we the damned we wait


58.Wheels

Lyricist:Mark Chadwick, Jeremy James Cunningham, Simon Friend, Charles
Kenton Heather, Matthew Savage, Jonathan Mark Sevink

He came of second best when he first came round here
In a town that's built on money built on fear
Just don't fake life, he's been told a thousand times
You see the wheels that we turn in keep dragging us down

He was amazed to see the fallen here
Tried so very hard to fight the fear
Then when he saw the end and it weren't very far
It slipped from his grasp and he stumbled there in the dark
Just don't fake life you've been told a thousand times

He took a troubled heart and then he gave it out
Took a violent change of circumstance to shout
There can be nobody better to turn things around
Yes there can be nobody better to turn things around
Just don't fake life you've been told a thousand times


59.Pretty Target

Lyricist:Charlie Heather, Jeremy Cunningham, Jon Sevink, Mark
Chadwick, Simon Friend

Since you came along, high above the scene
You've taken all the worry out of me
Yeah, you brought a change that chemicals can't find
I'm no longer thinking that I'm living in a medium time

And I won't let you down, no I won't let you down
You're such a pretty target for this world to kick around
And I won't let you down, no I won't let you down
Not since you dragged me from my hole in the ground

I smoked the world, drunk dry the sea
Was devoted to my mirror which I could never see
Then you came along, oh so prettily
And in the twist of a year, I was living in a dream

And I won't let you down, no I won't let you down
You're such a pretty target for this world to kick around
And I won't let you down, no I won't let you down
Not since you dragged me from my hole in the ground

And I won't let you down, no I won't let you down
You're such a pretty target for this world to kick around
And I won't let you down, no I won't let you down
Not since you dragged me from my hole in the ground

And I won't let you down, no I won't let you down
You're such a pretty target for this world to kick around
And I won't let you down, no I won't let you down
Not since you dragged me from my hole in the ground


60.A Chorus Line

Lyricist:Phil Collins

Seized and charged and don't you know it
You were caught for a crime but you didn't do it
These city walls that call you stranger
Your surprise local death will bring answers

Is there a chorus line wherever you go
Telling you you're right, messing with your reason
Clear blue skies wherever you go
Rivers of ice, messing with your reason

Join the queue to stand in line
For second hand love and broken mind
When he's caught by a friend who's wading through wine

Is there a chorus line wherever you go
Telling you you're right, messing with your reason
Clear blue skies wherever you go
Rivers of ice, messing with your reason
Director's words comfort you
Telling you you're right, messing with your reason

Is there a chorus line wherever you go
Telling you you're right, messing with your reason
Clear blue skies wherever you go
Rivers of ice, messing with your reason
Director's words comfort you
Telling you you're right, messing with your reason


61.For Us All

Lyricist:Mark Chadwick, Jeremy James Cunningham, Simon Friend, Charles
Kenton Heather, Matthew Savage, Jonathan Mark Sevink

If you're smiling, you'd better smile for us all
If you're laughing, you'd better laugh for us all
Oh, well, you better, from now on
Yeah, you better, from now on

If you're thinkin', you'd better think for us all
If you're talkin', you'd better talk for us all
Yeah, you better, from now on
Yeah, you better, from now on

If you're dancing, you'd better dance for us all
If you're learning, you'd better learn for us all
Oh, well, you better, from now on
Yeah, you better, from now on

If you're lying, you'd better lie for us all
If you're crying, you'd better cry for us all
Oh, yeah, you better, from now on
Yeah, you better, from now on

'Cos we all need you, yeah, we all need you
We all need you and hope you need us too

And if you're singin', you'd better sing with us all
And if you're swingin', you'd better swing with us all
Oh, well, you better, from now on
If you think you can carry on

'Cos we all need you, yeah, we all need you
We all need you and we hope you need us too


62.Last Man Alive

Lyricist:Mark Chadwick, Jeremy James Cunningham, Simon Friend, Heather
Charles Kenton, Savage Matthew, Jonathan Mark Sevink

Look out
And the ship that you sailed now has gone
Without you, has left you all alone
And you just stood and watched

Look out for the last man alive
Don't you wonder how he has lived so long
Look out for the last man alive
Don't you wonder how he has lived so long, so long

As the ice around you starts to melt
Just don't panic 'cause I'm holding your life belt
Or I'll just stand and watch
Yes, I'll just stand and watch

Look out for the last man alive
Don't you wonder how he has lived so long
Look out for the last man alive
Don't you wonder how he has lived so long, so long

You were never meant to be
When you first put out to sea

Look out for the last man alive
Don't you wonder how he has lived so long
Look out for the last man alive
Don't you wonder how he has lived so long, so long

Look out for the last man alive
Don't you wonder how he has lived so long
Look out for the last man alive
Don't you wonder how he has lived so long, it's goodbye
So long, it's goodbye


63.Said And Done

Lyricist:Mark Chadwick, Jeremy James Cunningham, Simon Friend, Heather
Charles Kenton, Savage Matthew, Jonathan Mark Sevink

You see the mist above the water
Blinding all that's there to see
You fell in love with nature's daughter
Or the idea you see

So many moments were made there
The chance to stay, perhaps to flee
But when you've taken what you wanted
There's nothing left to see

She said she'd wait for you as you close her eyes
All the things we've said and done
They're are not enough so run, child, run
All the things we've said and done
They're are not enough so run, child, run, oh, run, child, run

And who alone knows what they're doing
In a place that seems surreal
Any fool can plan his ruin
In a world that's down at heel

So watch the mist clears from the water
Will it give you second sight?
Can you remember what you're here for?
Will you take it as your right?

She said she'd wait for you as you close her eyes
All the things we've said and done
They're are not enough so run, child, run
All the things we've said and done
They're are not enough so run, child, run

All the things we've said and done
They're are not enough so run, child, run
All the things we've said and done
They're are not enough so run, child, run


64.Falling from the tree

Lyricist:Charlie Heather, Jeremy Cunningham, Jon Sevink, Mark
Chadwick, Simon Friend

Well, I fell down from the tree of life
Hit the branches on the way
Yeah, way down to the root
Found what's been bothering me

And I'll tell you
If you can hear above the din
That I just can't get back
To where I've been

And if I ever found
All that I wanted
I've traveled the world
All the way 'round

If you ever gave me
All I ever wanted
I'd travel the world
All the way 'round

'Cause I just can't get back to where I've been
Well, I just can't get back to where I've been
Well, I just can't get back to where I've been
No, I just can't get back to where I've been

'Cause I know a place
And I want to be there
I read it in the poems
On the way down

There it lies
The unchecked country
Far beyond
Spectacle of plains

'Cause I just can't get back to where I've been
Well, I just can't get back to where I've been
Well, I just can't get back to where I've been
Well, I just can't get back to where I've been

Well, I fell down from the tree of life
Hit the branches on the way
Yeah, way down to the root
Found what's been bothering me

And I'll tell you
If you can hear above the din
No, I just can't get back
To where I've been
No, I just can't get back
To where I've been

'Cause I know a place
And I want to be there
I read it in the poems
on the way down

There it lies
The unchecked country
Far beyond
Spectacle of plains

'Cause I fell down from the tree of life
Hit the branches on the way
Yeah, way down to the root
Found what's been bothering me

And I'll tell you
If you can hear above the din
No, I just can't get back
To where I've been

No, I just can't get back to where I've been
No, I just can't get back to where I've been
No, I just can't get back to where I've been
No, I just can't get back to where I've been

If I ever found
All that I wanted
Be a beautiful dream
This is a beautiful dream
These are beautiful dreams


65.I Have No Answers

Lyricist:Mark Chadwick, Jeremy James Cunningham, Simon Friend, Heather
Charles Kenton, Jonathan Mark Sevink

Tell me now I want the answers for
'Famine Starvation Bloodshed War'
All the blood that's run before
Why can't politician's fight their own law?

I have no answers for
The problems caused by government and law
The only solution is to rearrange from the bottom to the top
This system must change

Tell me the answers to
All the questions I ask you
I've got to know right now
You keep the power with you

No questions asked
But I'm demanding answers now
For the present and for the past

I tell you it's dis-disinformation
That keeps us 'll in our station
You tell me that I'm confused
I tell you that we're all used


66.Social Insecurity

Lyricist:Mark Chadwick, Jeremy James Cunningham, Simon Friend, Heather
Charles Kenton, Jonathan Mark Sevink

Well, it's another social worker
In his government disguise
Sittin' behind his bullet-proof glass
Tryin' to tell me 'bout my rights

I don't like the way
That he's asking me these questions
I can read between the lines
I don't think that I could trust you
With the story of my life

Another communications
Network brings you to your knees
They're genocidal maniacs
They're doing just what they please

Gotta move these mountains
'Cause they're standing in the way
If it's in the name of progress, son, yeah
We can make you pay for our

Social insecurity
Well, they're trying to take
My history away from me

Social insecurity
Don't look at me
They're trying to take my life

It's never seemed so tragic now
As dawn breaks into day
You're staring at a tower block
Where a green field once lay

All the mighty rivers full of factory decay
Is this just some small price
That we have learned to pay for your

Social insecurity
Well, they're trying to take
My history away from me

Social insecurity
Don't look at me
They're trying to take my life

So this is your democracy
Yeah, this is your bureaucracy
I call it damn hypocrisy
If you ask me, I'll tell you about your life


67.Not what we wanted

Lyricist:Charlie Heather, Jeremy Cunningham, Jon Sevink, Mark
Chadwick, Simon Friend

Now it sees that night is day
My uneasy focus has slipped away
Drunk from the poison cup brings sheer relief to me
Head full of the news, twenty-first century

Bring along your old banjo, I want to hear you play
Gonna play an old sad song to blow away the day
One that trips off the tongue, I wanna hear what you say
Everybody sing along, now everybody pray

Because the first time that we had, it wasn't what we wanted
This time that we had, it wasn't what we wanted
First time that we had, it wasn't what we wanted
This time that we had, it wasn't what we wanted

Changing weather blows away
But the slaughter and the showbiz
These are here to stay

So bring along your old banjo, I want to hear you play
Gonna play an old sad song to blow away the day
Everybody sing along, now everybody pray

Because the first time that we had, it wasn't what we wanted
This time that we had, it wasn't what we wanted
First time that we had, it wasn't what we wanted
This time that we had, it wasn't what we wanted
This time that we had, it wasn't what we wanted
This time that we had, it wasn't what we wanted

Changing weather blows away


68.Cardboard Box City

Lyricist:Mark Chadwick, Jeremy James Cunningham, Simon Friend, Heather
Charles Kenton, Jonathan Mark Sevink

Have you seen them in every station
Begging in their separate ways?
Some of them are no more than children
Some of them are runaways

I don't care for your opinion
I've seen you turn your face the other way
And you said to me 'Son, what's your problem?
Can't we talk about this over lunch some day?'

And I bet you've never been south of the river
Down the Old Kent Road or down Southwark Way
I bet you've never never seen them lying in the litter
In the cardboard boxes where you make them stay

In the docklands of East London
Where those great tall ships once sailed
Of a price of couple of hundred thousands
I have seen your condominiums for sale

In the north by the Archway Tavern
You can see them lying there every day
And they're drunk to hell
They'll scream their minds to the heaven
'My God, why did it have to be this way?'

And I bet you've never been south of the river
Down the Old Kent Road or down Southwark Way
I bet you've never never seen them lying in the litter
In the cardboard boxes where you make them stay

I worked my time and I paid my taxes
I've lined your pockets with my pay
You said you'd take my money, you said you'd help them
But in your pockets, it just seems to stay

And I've seen your fancy house in Richmond
And where you moor your boat on Kingston Quay
Every week you take your wife and children sailing
Try taking them down to South London some day

And I bet you've never been south of the river
Down the Old Kent Road or down Southwark Way
I bet you've never never seen them lying in the litter
In the cardboard boxes where you make them stay
In the cardboard boxes where they have to stay


69.Believers

Lyricist:Charlie Heather, Jeremy Cunningham, Jon Sevink, Mark
Chadwick, Paddy Stratton, Simon Friend

Time after time you fail to agree
About the things to believe in
The thoughts of the ancients just could not be
Without changes in rhythm and time

If you put all the prophets, mystics and saints
In one room together
There'd be so much more reason
Than ever was born out of all of the conflicts of time

Anybody out there, anybody out there

Well, I wouldn't mind but you fail to agree
About the things that you're doing
The thoughts of the ancients never could be
Without changes in context and time

Anybody out there, anybody out there
Gonna hear the sounds of a dispossessed voice
Lend them your voice

Fools and their leaders, they have no doubts
The truth is they're believers, they stand and shout
In the courts of the deceivers let there be no more doubt
In the name of your justice and time

Anybody out there, anybody out there
Gonna hear the sounds of a dispossessed voice
Lend them your voice

Anybody out there, anybody out there, anybody out there
Lend them your voice


70.Four Winds

Lyricist:Charlie Heather, Jeremy Cunningham, Jon Sevink, Mark
Chadwick, Simon Friend

Summer came around early this year
And winter swung around soon after
The scent of spring was high with fear
The autumn crows call disaster

Because the north wind blows so cold
Chilling the warmth of my desire
And the whispered words we know
Tell of a future burned with fire

And the music that now fills the street
Falls to the rhythm of marching feet
I find no comfort here
No not in this or any other year

Because the north wind blows so cold
Chilling the warmth of my desire
And the whispered words we know
Tell of a future burned with fire
Tell of a future burned with fire

The stranger asked me what do you know
And just where are you going?
I told the truth, I just don't know
If you don't mind, I'll keep on going

Because the north wind blows so cold
Chilling the warmth of my desire
And the whispered words we know
Tell of a future burned with fire
Tell of a future burned with fire


71.Make U Happy

Lyricist:Mark Chadwick, Jeremy James Cunningham, Simon Friend, Charles
Kenton Heather, Matthew Savage, Jonathan Mark Sevink

When you're staring at the walls
And your heart begins to sink
Seems that no-one ever calls
And you've nothing left to think

Well, I would love to make u happy
But I'm busy with my mind
'Cos I would love to make your world right
I need your help and you need mine

When you're queuing with the rest
Hurrying to wait in line
I'm the one that's behind you
I'm behind you all the time

I would love to make u happy
But I'm busy with my mind
'Cos I would love to make your world right
I need your help and you need mine

It's Monday again
Drives you insane
There's more to gain
When you touch the flame

And I have seen you from afar
Wondering if you have seen me
Seen you sitting in your car
Just staring at the sea

I've seen your head slumped at the bar
Wont you buy a drink for me
'Cos this old world ain't very large
I hope one day you'll talk to me

'Cos I would love to make u happy
But I'm busy with my mind
'Cos I would love to make your world right
I need your help and you need mine

'Cos I would love to make u happy
But I'm busy with my mind
'Cos I would love to make your world right
I need your help and you need mine

It's Monday again


72.Aspects of Spirit

Lyricist:Charlie Heather, Jeremy Cunningham, Jon Sevink, Mark
Chadwick, Simon Friend

Now you're walking the well-healed ground
Upon a fragile course
The Gin Lane talk has been getting you down
'Cos the hero Blake could not be found
And yes, there's a lot of faking going down

The smoke that clouded your eyes
Was a daily event
And those weren't ghosts, they were only men
Just the beauty that you sensed
Could heal all indifference

Beneath the cruel lives and the hard face
I can't believe what I have found
I touched the spirit of this ordinary town
And in the summer heat, under the crowded sheets
They were feathering the beds
I felt the spirit of this place we'd left for dead

The darkened streets for a guide
We search vainly for your sight
The tension rising on every side
You find comfort in its might
But that sun burns more than she lights

Beneath the cruel lives and the hard face
I can't believe what I have found
I touched the spirit of this ordinary town
And in the summer heat, under the crowded sheets
They were feathering the beds
I felt the spirit of this place we'd left for dead

Further down in this town
You hear the common word of mouth
That back-street talk, just a hollow sound
'Cos the hero Blake could not be found
And yeah, there's a lot of faking going down

Beneath the cruel lives and the hard face
I can't believe what I have found
I touched the spirit of this ordinary town
And in the summer heat, under the crowded sheets
They were feathering the beds
I felt the spirit of this place we'd left for dead


73.Wake the World

Lyricist:Charlie Heather, Jeremy Cunningham, Jon Sevink, Mark
Chadwick, Simon Friend

Been sitting in silence, safe inside four walls
Trying to remember the moment when we changed the rules
Do you take to your bed or do you take the cure?
Been getting out of my head lately that's for sure

So tell me when, oh, when
Are we gonna wake the world?
When, oh, when
Are we gonna wake the world
Are we gonna wake the world?

So I took a look around to see who's still listening
Found them swaddled in lies they find so comforting
The electric eye will always tell you so
Don't want the truth around me, no, I don't want to know

So tell me when, oh, when
Are we gonna wake the world?
When, oh, when
Are we gonna wake the world
Are we gonna wake the world?

You were right when you were young
Could you ever see it all come undone
You were brave when you were young
Would you ever believe it could all come undone?

Don't want to get to a place I don't recognize
Where we've all bought the world, but left with second prize
Dragged down by the words of a hollow song
Left in a state of selfish Babylon

So tell me when, oh, when
Are we gonna wake the world?
When, oh, when
Are we gonna wake the world?

When, oh, when
Are we gonna wake the world
Are we gonna wake the world?


74.Wild As Angels

Lyricist:Charlie Heather, Jeremy Cunningham, Jon Sevink, Mark
Chadwick, Simon Friend

I remember it was warm like it used to be
Then still a child like I want to be
With heavy wings I can recall
The freedom that has flown, that's now unknown

Sense of random, wild as angels
This is the life that we have known
Sense of random, wild as angels
This is the life that we have known

The waters of the deep they do recede
As if decided by global alchemy
With a heavy heart I can recall
The freedom that has flown, that's now unknown

Sense of random, wild as angels
This is the life that we have known
Sense of random, wild as angels
This is the life that we have known

Please don't ask me what it is I do all day
You'll get no reply from me in the nicest way
With a heavy heart I can recall
The freedom that has flown, that's now unknown
Now unknown

Sense of random, wild as angels
This is the life that we have known
Sense of random, wild as angels
This is the life that we have known

Sense of random, wild as angels
Sense of random, wild as angels


75.Come On

Lyricist:Charlie Heather, Jeremy Cunningham, Jon Sevink, Mark
Chadwick, Simon Friend

It's an open invitation
Everybody's free to come
Try to solve the situation
The four corners have been undone

And it's no mystery
Just a thin line in the sand
Never fails to frighten me
When you don't understand

Come on, come on, come on

Come and share a smoke with me
We'll try to make a plan
It's all so tense you see
In every nation, every land

And it's no mystery
Man-made clouds block the sun
Never fails to frighten me
These things can't be undone

Come on
Come on and see
Come on and see the love

Come on
Come on and see
Come on and see the love
Come on

Now you hold your breath and wait
To see it turns out in the end
I know it's hard to keep your patience
You know the message has been sent

And it's no mystery
Every nation, every land
Open up your eyes and see
Before it all gets out of hand

Come on
Come on and see
Come on and see the love

Come on
Come on and see
Come on and see the love

Come on
Come on and see
Come on and see the love

Come on
Come on and see
Come on and see the love

Come on, come on and see
Come on and see the love
Come on, come on and see
Come on and see the love

Come on, come on, come on and see
Come on and see the love
Come on, come on, come on and see
Come on and see the love
Come on


76.Blind Faith

A hollow heart and empty heart
Makes the streets run red
A careless desire leaves a child future of fire
But you don't care, how could you care?

Blind faith, it'll be okay
Everybody tells you so
Don't look, it'll go away
Everybody tells you so

You leave your nation with sword
Pressed to its back
You mark the last page of history in black
But you don't care, how could you care?

Blind faith, it'll be okay
Everybody tells you so
Don't look, it'll go away
Everybody tells you so

Why must you poison?
You're taking it all away
Why must you rape?
The future this way

Now you've made your Babylon
What rest should take you?
Only seven days to fix the mess
But you don't care, how could you care?

Blind faith, it'll be okay
Everybody tells you so
Don't look, it'll go away
Everybody tells you so


77.Confess

My friend, well, he walked me down
These roads I've never known
The salvation of my soul
Myself, the only goal

There were pleasures I thought I'd seen
And some I never knew
There were people dressed in rainments
Of an uncertain hue

And the chances I thought I'd had
Many I'd missed
There were devils bearing gifts
And angels on the piss

For my sins I will confess
And I will never lie
There's nobody that was ever here
That's never wondered why

And I've lived my life the best
Every second to defy
Will nobody that was ever here
Grieve me when I die

On the first day I met myself
Coming back from the third
I believed in what I was doing
I swallowed every word

Every word that I was told
By the great and the good
I bit the poisoned apple
'Cause I felt that I should

For my sins I will confess
And I will never lie
There's nobody that was ever here
That's never wondered why

And I've lived my life the best
Every second to defy
Will nobody that was ever here
Grieve me when I die

And now that I come to it
I can't recall
What it was I achieved
Just before my fall

I saw visions of ugliness
I visited shame
But I know should I come to it
I'd do it all again

For my sins I will confess
And I will never lie
There's nobody that was ever here
That's never wondered why

And I've lived my life the best
Every second to defy
Will nobody that was ever here
Grieve me when I die


78.Outside/Inside

He was on the outside
But it was not his own choice
The city schemes had swallowed his dream
And silenced his voice

She was on the inside
Looking for a way to be free
She was doing nine to life
Working for the company

There is an end to adversity, an end to the company
A time and a place where we can be
Where I can laugh and you'll be free
And there'll be no more outside or inside to keep us apart

This is the place the rat the race
This is the place we have no face
I state my case


79.The Ballad Of Robbie Jones

There was Robbie Jones
He used to walk so tall
You know he'd hurt no one at all
Chased the girls around the world
Danced them round the dance halls

We'd have a drink and then he'd sink
Into nostalgic talk
We carried him home in the fallen snow
When he was too drunk to walk

Then came the day
We were sent away
We got our papers
Posted trough the door
And sent off to war

Dear, old Tom
He'd sing a song and he'd play the guitar
He'd tell you all the stories
Of his travels near and far

Signed up one day to learn a trade
But that dream didn't go far
He'd be fighting Argentinians
With his gun not his guitar

He used to walk so tall
You know he'd hurt no one at all
Chased the girls around the world
Danced them round the dance halls

We'd have a drink and then he'd sink
Into nostalgic talk
We carried him home in the fallen snow
When he was too drunk to walk

Then came the day
We were sent away
We got our papers
Posted trough the door
And sent off to war

Dear, old Tom
He'd sing a song and he'd play the guitar
He'd tell you all the stories
Of his travels near and far

Signed up one day to learn a trade
But that dream didn't go far
He'd be fighting Argentinians
With his gun not his guitar


80.World Freak Show

In the past fools would pay
To see the freaks of the day
Contradictions of the norm
The bizarre, the wonderful and deformed

No need for the tents and the cages now
The world comes to my eyes
In front of my TV circus
A freak show in disguise

Circles and roundabouts
How much did you know
Going round and coming back?

The world freak show
Swings and revolutions
How much did you know
Going round an coming back
World freak show

Another tree is coming down
Another harpooned whale is drowned
Another child's belly needs feeding
On land of the fast food chain is bleeding

And we bought our new green wool
And pulled it over our eyes
As the circus goes on all around
A freak show in disguise


81.Together All The Way

You taste a drink in your hometown
You smile for the things you've known
That's when you were playing games
You couldn't hope to play today

Dare you look to the future
The speed the pages turn
Today your hope
For tomorrow is to smile anyway today

Don't pray to a God
We're in this together all the way
From the old to the young
And from the cradle to the grave

Look to yourself
Because there's plenty of wealth in us all
If we fight the good fight
The we gonna have to fall to us all

Do you remember the smells of childhood?
Do they still come once in a while?
Perhaps you're still full of that passion
Well, if you go on then smile

Don't pray to a God
We're in this together all the way
From the old to the young
And from the cradle to the grave


82.What You Know

Have you seen an ocean, deep and wide?
Have you been an island, lost inside?
Have you ever walked the streets in black and white?
But you're in color, alienated and afraid

You look in from the outside as you go through
You keep on walking but you don't know what to do
But there's plenty of time in a day
But in a town, your mind can go away

So I take a walk, get out of the place
Where all the trees have a concrete face
So when the pressure's on and there's nowhere left to go
You're gonna have to come to terms
To terms of what you know through


83.No Change

Can you hear the sound
Of the fiddle and the drum ?
Passing them fade

Can you hear the sound
Of chanting in the streets ?
Screaming for better days

You've heard it all
Yes, we've all heard it all
But tell me what has changed

You've seen it all
We've all seen it all
So tell me what has changed

And the palace stays the same
Only the guards ever change
So lay me down

You've heard the singer
Sing proud their songs
Telling us what is wrong

You've read the books
That say where to look
Well, where's the answers gone?

You've seen it all
Yes, we've all seen it all
But tell me what has changed

But the palace stays the same
Only the guards ever change
So lay me down


84.Three Friends

Burning searing sun, soft through the skin
Bring your grace down here
Tearing past the gray shadows of today
Stroke away the fear

Cold and steaming moon, call down a tune
Lend us your ear, glide by the curves
Which your secret serves
But bring not your speer

And life holds no time
By the blink of your eyes as both
You watch your sister planet die


85.Carry Me

When you're standing by the roadside
And it's a long way to go
Ah, to carry me, to carry me, carry me
Carry me, friend, oh, to carry me

Together in this mad land
Far from truest of hands
Well, I'll carry you if you'll carry me, carry me
Carry me, friend, oh, carry me

And we'll petrol bomb the state, we'll blow away the hate
But we'll do it in our minds if we can take the time
We'll build ourselves a road, from what we know
Each take our part and now's the time to start

Oh yeah, take
Oh, it must be
Oh, it must be
Oh, it must be

But Jane's taking heroin and Paul is getting pissed
Steve is getting stoned, too fucked to fight
Sarah's on the acid and Sean has blown his mind
Someone's busy hiding, too fucked to fight

Yeah, some have found religion and some have run away
And some they formed a party to find a way
Yeah, some joined the system, some just look away
And some just bite their backsides to find a way

And there is a way
Yes, there is a way
Yes, there is a way

When you're standing by the roadside
And it's a long way to go
Well, I'll carry you if you'll carry me, carry me
Carry me, friend, well, I'll carry you


86.England My Home

You gave me my birth
Then you made me pay
What is it worth
Cast me away

You've really done it now
Dying in my arms
You stand here with nothing
But you've still got English charm

Oh England, you're my home
My heart's heart
Crashing thunder of love
You're a place of the poor
Open wound, the lost rites of love

You cut your own throat
Then you let it bleed
Misleading your people
From what they all need

Roots forgotten
That's what we all say
But what does it matter
You're the USA

Why is it England?
I feel like rubbish on your streets
Why is it when I care?
If feel incomplete

Why does our future seem
Such a feat?
When will our consciousness
Finally meet?

Oh, whatever happened to
My green and pleasant land
