1.Paths And Angles

Lyricist:Christopher Thomas Allen, Warren Reginald Cann, William
Currie, Midge Ure

Visions of men never known
Never seen, never heard, never shown
Characters lying in waits, responsible figures of fate
With memories and faces as long as their hate

Paths and the angles of light
Find their way into my eye
Recorded and logged for a time
Some living, some loving, some dying

There are factors rearranged every time
The phrases, the angles, so fine
Sunken valleys and decades of crime
Distant seasons, a smile that was quoted as mine

Paths and the angles of light
Find their way into my eye
Recorded and logged for a time
Some living, some loving, some dying

Paths and the angles of light
Find their way into my eye
Recorded and logged for a time
Some living, some loving, some dying

Paths and the angles of light
Find their way into my eye
Recorded and logged for a time
Some living, some loving, some dying

Paths and the angles of light
Find their way into my eye
Recorded and logged for a time
Some living, some loving, some dying


2.Face To Face

Lyricist:Allen Christopher Thomas, Cann Warren Reginald, Currie
William Lee, Ure Midge

There's nothing left
The system's gone
It's taking over, over, over
Right before our eyes

It's all over
Hear them cry
It's all over
Hear them sigh
It's all over
Nothing but time, time, time is all we had

Face to face
Room to room
It's taking over

The streets are bare
There's nothing there
It's all gone now, gone now, gone now
Right before our eyes

It's all over
Hear them cry
It's all over
See them die
It's all over
Nothing but time, time, time is all I had

Face to face
Room to room
It's taking over

It's all over
Hear them cry
It's all over
Hear them die
It's all over
Nothing but time, time, time is all we had

Face to face
Room to room
We're taking over, oh


3.If I Was

If I was a soldier
Captive arms I'd lay before her
If I was a sailor
Seven oceans I'd sail to her

If I was a wiser man
Would other men reach out and touch me?
If I was a kinder man
Dishing up love for a hungry world
Tell me would that appease her?
I want to please her again

If I was a painter
I'd paint a world that couldn't taint her
If I was a leader
On food of love from above I would feed her

If I was a poet
All my love and burning words I would show it
If I was her lover
Her eyes in kisses I would cover

Come here my baby
Oh, they can't touch you now
I'll keep you save and warm
I'll never leave you at all

Come here my baby
Oh they won't touch you
Dishing up love for a hungry world
Tell me would that appease you
I want to please you again

If I was a soldier
Captive arms I'd lay before her
If I was a sailor
Seven oceans I'd sail to her

If I was a painter
I'd paint a world that couldn't taint her
If I was a leader
On food of love from above I would feed her

If I was a poet
All my love and burning words I would show it
If I was her lover
Her eyes in kisses I would cover


4.Live Again

Time will find a way
A way to make your world go round
Present an empty day
A canvas for your words
To paint the things you see
A chapter still to come
Don't you know that every
picture holds a story

Don't you know you'll
learn to live again
Soon to find your
road to everything
Don't you know you'll
learn to live again

I've seen it all before
The emptiness and empty heart
Bewildered and unsure
One moment and it's gone
Release and set you free
To cast away your ties
To radiate and shine to
light your path to glory

Don't you know you'll
learn to live again
Soon to find your
road to everything
Don't you know you'll
learn to live again

Time will ind a way
I've seen it all before
Don't you know you'll
learn to live again
Soon to find your
road to everything
Don't you know you'll
learn to live again


5.The 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


6.This One

It's hard to believe the time is come
For this one
For this one
Good fortune has breathed its breath upon
This one
This one
A handful of wanting, waitnig my turn
A mountain of past, a future to burn
A dream of tomorrows,
and what will become, become

With hope upon hope and blind desire
Empty horizons fuel my fire
Waitnig for something
From lifes great liar
It's hard to believe the time has come
For this one
For this one

Good fortune has breathed its breath upon
This one
For this one
It's hard to believe the time has come
For this one
Binding my time till my time is due
Waiting in line as world looks through me
Right through

It's hard to believe the time has come
For this one
For this one
Good fortune has breathed its breath upon
This one
For this one

It's hard to believe the time has come
For this one, for this one
Good fortune has breathed its breath upon
This one
For this one
It's hard to believe the time has come


7.Let It 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?
