Brilliant

Ultravox Brilliant Lyrics
1.Live


2.Flow

If I could feel some kind of feeling
Send a message to my soul
Tell my mind to lose control
If I could live a life with some meaning
One that love could not deny
From a shattered soul like me

Sometimes I'll try
And sometimes I'll fall
Sometimes I'll let it flow, let it flow

If I had a thought so hauntingly beautiful
To send a message through the sky
To fight your hate and lies
If I could grow one seed of belief in me
Something to permeate my mind
Like a virus through my system

Then I'll find
That sometimes I'd lose
And sometimes I'd let it flow, let it flow

If I could grow one seed of belief in me
Something to permeate my mind
Like a virus through my system

Then I'll find
That sometimes I'd lose
And sometimes I'd let it flow, let it flow


3.Brilliant

Somewhere Sure, Somewhere Safe Inside
A World Where You Reside
Where chance and Trust Have Died,
A World Where You Can Hide Away
Hide Away
No Tomorrow, No Today

You, The Brilliant Thing You are
And shine Your Brightest Star,
Too Distant And Too Far Away,
You, You Legend Deep inside,
Religiously Tonight, Tonight.

Step Out From Mask You Stand Behind,
Fearful Lost And Blind,
Time To Take The Time
The Pressure's On You
Hide Away, Hide Away,
No Tomorrow, Just Today

You, The Brilliant Thing You are
And shine Your Brightest Star,
Too Distant And Too Far Away,
You, You Legend Deep inside,
Religiously Tonight, Tonight.


4.Change

i am the road i walk alone
exposed and turned to stone
a heart without a home
walk for miles to walk away
a new life every day
to welcome come what may

turn around and make the change
turn it round and love will hapen
you took a lifetime to find
the change

i am the wall i built along
the line that i have drawn
so cold and dark and strong
resistant to all love and hate
so tragic and so great
no heart to penetrate

turn around and make the change
turn it round and love will hapen
you took a lifetime to find
the change

leave you standing on my shore
to watch this ocean roar
a sea you can't cross over
a racing tide to wash away
the gift of better days
with words that you might say

turn around and make the change
turn around and make the change
turn it round and love will hapen
you took a lifetime to find
the warmth, the love the change


5.Rise

i give to you the best of everything
i'm here to grow your little monuments
oh oh, don't dare to doubt me all the joy i bring
it's heaven sent

hold on, i've come to help you rise
with a handshake, big smile, good guy profile
take it now or leave it 'neath the flash of a neon sky
i'll cheat and lie
to give you all the things you need
to help you get the things i need for me

i bring you revelations openly
i set the word of god to make you pray
oh oh, don't think to thank my world for anything, anyway

hold on, i've come to help you rise
with a handshake, big smile, good guy profile
take it now or leave it 'neath the flash of a neon sky
i'll cheat and lie
to give you all the things you need
to help you get the things i need for me
hold on, i've come to help you rise
to give you all the things you need

no how or why
no live or die
fail to comply
red neon sky

hold on, i've come to help you rise
with a handshake, big smile, good guy profile
take it now or leave it 'neath the flash of a neon sky
i'll cheat and lie
to give you all the things you need
to help you get the things i need for me

take it now or leave it 'neath the flash of a neon sky
to give you all the things you need
to help you get the things i need for me


6.Remembering

closing my eyes i slip away
i see the pictures play
of people been and gone
living in moments from the past
over much too fast
still longing to belong

just remembering
rememebring

closing my eyes i walked a while
a never ending mile
in avenues i've crossed
talking to people stood alone
in streets that i had known
to friends i've loved and lost

just remembering
rememebring

if i could gather all the moments so precious to stay with me
what would i be, what would i see?

just remembering
rememebring
just remembering
oh oh rememebring
just remembering
ooh oh rememebring


7.Hello

hello, hello, hello
welcome to this world you made
hello, hello, hello
it's raining through your sad parade

if you always do
what you've always done
then nothing good will ever come
if you always get
what you've always got
you'll find that loves what you forgot

hello, hello, hello
welcome to this world you made
hello, hello, hello
it's raining through your sad parade
free to bite your bitter pill
sorry now, at least until
someone is but never will
hello, hello, hello, hello, hello

there's no one to blame
'cos this was your goal
you gave your life, your heart, your soul
wrapped in deceit
loving the lie
to find that life has left you dry

hello, hello, hello
welcome to this world you made
hello, hello, hello
it's raining through your sad parade
free to bite your bitter pill
sorry now, at least until
someone is but never will
hello, hello, hello, hello, hello

hello, hello, hello
welcome to this world you made
hello, hello, hello
it's raining through your sad parade
free to bite your bitter pill
sorry now, at least until
someone is but never will
hello, hello, hello, hello, hello


8.One


9.Fall

and i could never give in
and i could never feel small
and i could let it all go
now i've found somewhere to fall

wire and chain you cast upon me still remain
walk with your words within me
taking their toll upon me
hearing them still
running around inside until
time and again they remind me
no matter how distant you'll never be free

and i could never give in
and i could never feel small
and i could let it all go
now i've found somewhere to fall

look at me now
what can you hear
fierce conversations gone on for years
fighting back words with words of war
leaving you speechless but crying for more
talk to me now and try to explain
to someone who won't jump at shadows again
finding my feet and i'm standing
fighting a fight that i can win

and i could never give in
and i could never feel small
and i could let it all go
now i've found somewhere to fall
and i could never give in
and i could never feel small
and i could let it all go
now i've found somewhere to fall


10.Lie

couldn't you let it lie?

with a smile and subterfuge
you dances your savage dance
some hidden cause you cannot justyfy
a lie's a lie

couldn't you let it lie
couldn't you let it lie

conscience clear and sanctified
you wash yooursins away
in god's name you start your holy war
who's it for?

couldn't you let it lie?
couldn't you let it lie?
couldn't you let it lie?

couldn't you let it lie?
couldn't you let it lie?


11.Satellite

shine from above you satellite
follow your lead follow your light
libertine blue and angel white
free to release my dark tonight

oh, i defy you
let your light shine on me tonight
do, do what you know
know to be right
wondrous satellite

feed me with all the hope you find
lovingly laid but cruel, unkind
whisper to me with words so blue
feed mem your drug to see me through

oh, i defy you
let your light shine on me tonight
do, do what you know
know to be right
wondrous satellite


12.Contact

what's wrong, who's right?
sad machines won't talk to me tonight
no questions looking for answers
no voices except inside my mind

talk to me somebody
talk to me, talk to me
just looking for contact, my friend

react, rewind,
relive this conversation one last time
just me in this endless forever
just me and the sound of heartbeat, distant drum

talk to me somebody
talk to me, talk
just looking for contact, my friend

what's wrong, who's right?
sad machines won't talk to me tonight

just looking for contact, my friend
