Go
(Wetton/Downes)
Dig for victory, go for gold
I don’t wanna die before I get old
And I wonder where I’m going to
There’s some way out, there’s some way through
But I’m lost, I’m lost, I’m down again
My direction is changing, which way,
Which way can I go…
Get up and go
You start me up, you slow me down
No one can deny you get around
When you’re hot, you’re cold, you’re in between
Asking myself what does it mean?
And I walk that tightrope, you should know
I’m losing my balance, maybe,
Maybe I should go…
Get up and go
Face to face in sympathy
But now you turn your back on me
Turn a card and win, but you may lose
Fate only has that right to choose
If you’re right, leave me here, I’ll die alone
You’ve got the time, you’ve just got time
You got the time just go…
Get up and go
Go
Just go…
Back In Town
(Downes/Payne)
Wheels turn - smoke rise
Chrome wings - low ride
Freeway - red line
To city lights electric I glide
If there’s escape from your illusion
You gotta break the whole constitution
Concrete - touch sky
Main street - dogs lie
Steel bird - black tie
Is this what they call the freedom you buy?
Look at him behind the delusion
All you hear is the voice of confusion
The bad boy’s back
The bad boy’s back in town
The bad boy’s back
Don’t you shoot him down
Wheels spin - ace high
No win - no life
One world - truth lies
Love’s just a word on a red neon sign
If there’s escape from the conclusion
You gotta shake the whole institution
If there’s escape from your illusion
You gotta break the whole constitution
Sad Situation
(Downes/Payne)
When you wake, I’ll be gone
Just a space, an empty chair
And I know, I was wrong
Just one more time, then I’ll be gone
Who stopped the sky from falling?
Who held you back from harm?
Who stood as walls were falling?
A call still guides us on
Chorus:
It’s a sad situation
And no one’s to blame
I’ts a sad situation
Now you’re gone
It’s a sad situation
Which someday may change
It’s a sad situation
Now you’re gone
In the dawn, turn the page
We stand alone, as the lions rage
I suppose we’ll move on
A fight of minds, that still breathe strong
Who stopped the sky from falling?
Who held you back from harm?
WHo held you close when hurting?
Who keeps the doves of hope?
Chorus
Rememberance Day
(Downes/Payne)
The battlefield, the smoke has cleared
Silence in sight, the blood lies deep
Look from the hills, the valley calls
Six hundred fall, a lost to all
Someday, somewhere, ever calling
One time, one life, ever falling
Chorus:
And will you remember
The flowers in the fields?
And will you remember
The loss of one so dear
And will you remember
Through the mist of lies?
Remember
Their spirit never dies
Remember
Out of the skies, and into the green
Fuelled by the lies, paid by soul
Soldire, hero, well ‘Uncle Sam’
He don’t wanna know
Chorus
Someday
(Downes/Warman)
Don’t want to live in another world
Don’t want to dream of another girl
That’s the way it was meant to be
I couldn’t sleep through the lonely night
I just cried till the morning
It’s not the way it was meant to be
Someday you may find somebody else
Someday love my shine on you
Someday you may find the one
You didn’t leave me, you ran away
Couldn’t face what you had to say
It’s not the way it was meant to be
Now you can live in your other world
Me, i’ve found me another girl
And that’s the way it was meant to be
When I dream, I dream of one world
But I know there’s no such place
If I could ever find that one girl
In my world, in my world
The Heat Goes On
(Wetton/Downes)
You walk tall, got your head in the clouds
You talk soft, but you’re thinking aloud
And you know, exactly what you want
You box shy, you’re hard to get
You got the face that I can’t forget
And I know, I know The Heat Goes On
I know that The Heat Goes On
I know that The Heat Goes On
You play tight, you’re nobody’s fool
You’re not cold, but I know that you’re cool
Look at you, I know The Heat Goes On
Now tell me, with your hand on you’re heart
That you knew, you were right from the start
And you’re sure, you felt it all along
You know that The Heat Goes On
You know that The Heat Goes On
Times to decide, times that I’ve lied
Problems will never be solved
Which way is wrong, which could be right?
This heat will always go on
You walk tall, got your head in the clouds
You talk soft, but you’re thinking aloud
And you know, exactly what you want
You box shy, you’re hard to get
You got the face that I’ll never forget
You and I know, we know The Heat Goes On
Anytime
(Downes/Payne)
As a child, we played the game
Fought the war, but felt no pain
Arm to arm, we left the skin
Then said the words, remember them
Oh, never a moments doubt
Oh, feel it, scream it loud
Chorus:
Anytime that you call
Anytime if you fall
Anytime I’ll be there for you
Any moment of fear
Anytime say the prayer
Swear that our word is true
Should I go
Should I stay?
I won’t turn my head away
Cross the line, the great divide
So kill the silence, where we hide
Oh, never a moments doubt
Oh, feel it so scream it loud
Chorus
If clouds fall, stand tall
As mountains climb from endless sea
Call out, fear not
Bring back that memory
Chorus
Sole Survivor
(Wetton/Downes)
When I ran from the hounds of hell
Twist my foot, I nearly fell
I was lucky I was alive
One look back I could have died
{chorus}
I was the sole survivor
Sole survivor
Sole survivor
Solitary fighter
When I saw it I was amazed
One time glory right in my gaze
I saw the sorrow, I saw the joy
Right in the darkness none could destroy
{chorus}
And from the wreckage I will arise
Cast the ashes back in their eyes
See the fire, I will defend
Just keep on burning right to the end
{chorus}
Summer
(Downes/Payne)
Her fingers feel the air
The mantle now so bare
From green then into brown
Lie scattered all around
We hope they will return
Like those before did learn
Now that their summer’s gone
We have to carry on
Till we rise, I just can’t wait
Now tell me, who are you
To judge my fate?
Chorus:
Oh, the rain burns on
Now that summer’s gone
Oh, the wind blows strong
Now that summer’s gone
Across the fields we ran
To emerald castles, banned
By rule of modern man
Who built a winterland
Then as the seasons change
He’ll fly and hide away
Above a cloud of words
On wings of gold I heard
We must rise, it’s not too late
Now tell me, who are you
To change our fate?
Chorus
Feels Like Love
(Downes/Payne)
Feel my mind, the sleep is ending
As we rush into the sea
Take my eyes, and I will show you
The future in the deep
You must breathe on
You must be strong
Am I right to fight the distance
As we push against the tide?
You must breathe on
You must be strong
Rushing through my head, I can touch the thunder
Lighting up the mind, as the wind blows stronger
Pushing back the sea, as the storm is calling on
Louder than before, in the raging river
Faster than the stream, will it last forever?
Holding back the time, as the world stops turning
Feels like love…
Tell me, does it feel like love?
We look to the sky, to the statue of hope
She is holding the flame, as the island awoke
To the city of dreams, where the angel still sleeps
See the satellites glow as they rise from the sea
Feels like love…
Tell me, does it feel like love?
Little Rich Boy
(Downes/Payne)
Don’t read “Marx”
He’s a clean cut guy
Just the dream
On a TV eye
If you swim
In the dark
You lose a hand
When you feed the shark
Little rich boy, she’s gonna find you
Little rich boy
Little rich boy, those claws will blind you
Just a little rich boy
She got hooks
In your veins
Feel the pleasure
Kill the pain
Drop a pearl
See the dragon fly
Crack the diamond
Do you still feel high?
Desire
(Downes/Payne/Nye)
From the very first rush
To the very last sigh
In a moment’s touch
To the whole of time
Be the secrets of pain
Kiss the tears that you cry
Just to hold without
Get to touch within
From the sound of your breath
To the taste of your skin
I’d give all my days
Just for one of your nights
I’ve just got to get next to you
Let it out, let it go
Chorus:
Desire, make it physical
Looks to feed the thrill
Desire, with its hungry eyes
Closing for the kill
Desire, all that’s left in me
Tears the night in two
Desire, like a primitive
Claw my way to you
Are you thinking of me
Like I’m thinking of you?
How the innocence dies
In a passionate stare
A shaft of light
A silent dare
The call of the wild…
From the very first crime
Of original sin
To the carnal lie
Where the truth begins
Just to feel your nails
Lift me up like wings
I’ve just got to get next to you
Let it out, let it go
Chorus
Who Will Stop The Rain?
(Downes/Warman/Woolfenden)
This problem is insoluble
The answers seem impossible
The logic ceases to exist
Emotion is the beat we miss
I stand on a world
Where dreams, realities, existence are the same
We take from the mother’s skin
But the world is not to blame
Who tells the wind which way to blow?
I wonder who will stop the rain
The rocks that hold the secrets, they don’t know
So who can stop the rain?
We’ve lost the path for all we know
Now tell me when will it start again?
And as the old man lifts his hands
Please can you stop the rain?
Stars fall far away
Like they never did before
A new moon shining
Like it never will again
Desert white cloud
Spirits they sing
Rain falls from the big sky
Onto broken wing
There is no sense in turning back
To wash the debris from the track
World without fears without rhyme
We fought for peace within our time
Military Man
(Downes/Payne)
The fighting’s over now
There’s nowhere left to run
My ammunition’s out
I’d better put down my gun
And as I face this life of fear
I’d better keep my conscience clear
Inside my mind I’m out of it
And I ain’t never coming back
Chorus:
So don’t come running here to find me
‘Cos I’m a military man
And as I spin this wheel of fortune
In my military world
I’m a military man
The architects of time
Are calling me
But I don’t believe it
Necessarily
And as I face this life of fear
Break the chains
That bind me here
Inside my head I’m out of it
But I’m still never coming back
Chorus
I’m a military man
Just a military man yes I am
Only Time Will Tell
(Wetton/Downes)
You’re leaving now
It’s in your eyes
There’s no disguising it
It really comes as no surprise
To find that you planned it all along
I see it now
Becomes so clear
Your insincerity
And me all starrey-eyed
To think that I would have know by now
{chorus}
Now, sure as the sun will cross the sky
This lie is over
Lost, like the tears that used to tide me over
{Only time will tell}
One thing is sure
That time will tell
{Only time will tell}
If you were wrong
The brightest ring around the moon
Will darken when I die
{chorus}
{repeat first verse}
{repeat second verse}
{chorus}
{Only time will tell}
You’re on your own
Inside your room
{Only time will tell}
You’re claiming victory
You were just using me
And there is no one you can use now
{Only time will tell}
One thing is sure
That time will tell…
Heat Of The Moment
(Wetton/Downes)
I never meant to be so bad to you
One thing I said that I would never do
One look from you and I would fall from grace
And that would wipe this smile right from my face
Do you remember when we used to dance
And incidence arose from circumstance
One thing lead to another we were young
And we would scream together songs unsung
{chorus}
It was the heat of the moment
Telling me what your heart meant
Heat of the moment shone in your eyes
And now you find yourself in 82
The disco hotspots hold no charm for you
You can’t concern yourself with bigger things
You catch the pearl and ride the dragon’s wings
{chorus}
And when your looks are gone and you’re alone
How many nights you sit beside the phone
What were the things you wanted for yourself
Teenage ambition you remember well
{chorus x2} |
