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
Different Worlds
(Downes/Payne)
Time and tide,
Are the dreams that come and go,
They wait for no man on the shore.
Should you step,
In the same dark river twice,
Let it wash the sins away.
Is there time at hand,
With so much to say?
And I know, it’s a different world today,
And I know, to another God we pray,
And I know, we’re in different worlds today.
Here I stand,
My philosophy held high,
Like a preacher in a foreign land.
And here we walk,
In the wilderness of sands,
With the prophet and the holy man.
Is there time at hand,
With so much to say?
And I know, it’s a different world today,
And I know, to another God we pray,
And I know, we’re in different worlds today,
And I know, it’s a different world today.
They’re burning the Book, they’re burning the faith,
Our dream will be over,
Let’s wake from the sleep, a legion we’ll be,
To live forever.
I know I was wrong, I have to put it right,
I just can’t let it slip away,
‘Cause it’s a different world today.
Different world, different world, different world today.
Is it a better world today?
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
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
Don’t Call Me
(Downes/Warman)
You know I’ll never understand your reasons
I gave you all the love that I could give
Now i’m sitting on a plane to take me far away
I’ve got to find a new place to live
It used to feel so good when you stood beside me
How can you forget the words you said?
Things like: I’m gonna stay with you forever
Will always echo in my head
Don’t call me, don’t call me, no more
If this plane ride lasts forever
I couldn’t quite get over you
We spent too much time together
I can’t believe we’re through
Don’t call me, don’t call me, no more
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
Downes Solo
Arena
(Downes/Payne)
You can take it
If you want it
You can break it
If you need it
I’ll never fight another day
But you can take the flesh not the soul away
They’re calling from the lions den
They’re fighting for the ghosts of holy men
Into the arena we climb
We look to the sky
Into the arena we climb
You and I
Is it over
When the light goes?
Bella nova
Tell me who knows
Scars will beat the minds of men
Can you feel the thorns upon the skin?
I’ll never fight another day till I die
{Chorus}
Yes I hear you
Yes I see you
Yes I feel you
And I need you
Is it over, I’ll never fight another day
When the light goes?
But you can take the flesh, not the soul away
Bella nova, they’re calling from the lions den
Tell me who knows?
They’re fighting for the souls of holy men
{chorus}
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…
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?
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
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
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} |
