Angel

Is there an angel dancing in this room?
Or am I looking after me?
There’s a light seeping into steal.
I’ve no defence, and I make no final plea.
I feel I’m swimming in the sky.
And blue clouds, are saturating me.
There are beings, and they call my name.
My life it echoes, into eternity.
Is half this truth, and half unknown?
Am I certain to dream again?
Empty faces show endless love.
Is this where darkness ends?
Is there an angel standing next to me?
With a book of colours, bleeding into none.
There’s a room with ten thousand souls.
But a single door, leading me to one.
And you’ll always be angel
Always be angel
Always be an angel next to me
Always be an angel
There’s no way of knowing
I’ll find you if you come for me

Good News Week
03:12

|
Nothing wrong with the atmosphere
The fields are green and the roads are clear
Low pollen count and a higher pressure
Sunny days ahead and a book by Escher
Hydrogen cars on the new frontier
Reducing anxiety we'll have no fear
Someone’s growing vegetables under the sea
You should be optimistic you should be like me
It doesn’t really get much better than this
making time to get things done
You gotta help out with the birds and the bees
Hooking up the power of the sun
It's a good news week
Good week for the news it's a good news week

Men wanted for adventures overseas
Heart of Oak men of honour if you please
4 o’ clock and the winds are in the sails
they didn't ask for anyone else
it wasn't easy leaving you alone
Save my children let me stay at home
And no one knows when we are coming back
Don't wanna press you but you're coming anyway
Say goodbye you'll soon be on your way
And the world will love you for what you have achieved
Alive Alive, alive alive were still alive out here
Alive alive, Alive he cried we’re still alive out here
Out here out here
I can feel it in my bones
We ain't never going home
And never to grow old our hearts will fade line
The waves are coming on rising to the high.
From the ocean to the sky –
I'm so scared that I could cry
Please take me out of here
Men wanted for adventures overseas
Heart of Oak men of honour on their knees
The witching hour and the sails are torn away
I wish they’d asked for anyone else
Don't wanna press you but you're Coming anyway
Say goodbye you'll soon be on your way
And the world will love you for what you have achieved
Alive Alive, alive alive were still alive out here
Alive alive, alive he cried were still alive out here
Out here out here
is easing let us all be with the tide
I need your love to help me stay alive
The voyage to the unknown had begun
He has vanished trackless into the blue immensity. And only some mournful mysterious shadow of him hovers long in all heads and hearts. Do you think they know what we're going through?

Back & Fourth

Listen
Billy Pilgrim’s come unstuck in time
He’s been waiting for a long long time
To go back, back and fourth
He knows
Nobody leaves you, they’re always there
Like a mountain range or clouds in the air
That go back, back and fourth
And back and first and back and second and back and third and back and back and fourth
Travelling to Tralfamadore journeys without end
There is no time there is no space just a whisper from a long gone friend
Listen
So Billy Pilgrim moves on again, now he sees the torturous flames.
That go back. back and fourth
Another son dies and the angels soar,
Soothing mothers of another war that goes back
back and fourth
Time long long a for waiting been he’s
time in unstuck come Pilgrim Billy
Listen

I'm With You
03:32

Now you're free, I'm still here,
I'm right beside you every day.
In your thoughts, in your heart,
I still hold your hand.
I'm the warmth, through the storm,
my arms are wrapped around you.
In your love, through your pain,
I hold your heart.
Don't feel sad, nor cry,
memories still shine.
Feel my peace, feel my calm,
Just feel me.
Walk on strong, through the night,
my heart surrounds you.
In your eyes, I can see,
See our love.
And when the world, oh when the world fell away
and we knew, I wouldn't always be around.
And we knew that our love would keep us strong
In my pain, there was nothing you did wrong.
3. Sleep tonight, be at ease,
I want you to know,
I'm so well, I'm at peace,
I'll never let us go.
I still feel the last kiss
But just remember this
By your side, I am here, I'm with you.
By your side, I'm still here, I'm with you.
By your side I'll always be, here with you

One More Day

Just give me one more minute
And I’ll share a drink with you
We’ll get drunk on beer and music
Just like we used to do
You gave me so much time
You gave me so much love
Now our music plays forever
Shining from above
Just give me one more day
Just give me one more day
To say that I miss you
I’m gonna miss you
This movie has no end
So the credits will have to wait
Your music never fades
Forever we will wait
You never left a reason
You left me as a void
No chance to say goodbye
No tears for us to cry
Just give me one more day
Just give me one more day
To say that I miss you
I’m gonna miss you every day
Just give me one more hour
Just give me one more second
To say that I miss you
I’m gonna miss you
You shared your very being
I was wrapped around your soul
No time for one last song
To light my way back home

The Lure of Santa Monica
09:20
|
|||
|
The streets were getting wider
As I turned and saw the sight
I’d buried my head in so much sand
It was time to see the light
Keys jangle in the locks of time
with stories from the past
the hospital for incurable bores
and the casualties were vast
Mingled cries exultant shouts
were laughing back at me
Promo discs and Hepburn hats
were begging to be free
complete altercation of the now and then
and pretentious lies and fake news facts
supression of the useless news
and the complimentary tax
Oh I’ve seen it, seen it in your eyes
you said that no one really lives
and no one really dies
you comfort me with renaissance eyes
and pictures from the Sorbonne
Then they said you were gone
I trusted you with all my dreams future plans and epic themes
naked ambitions and hearts on sleeves
album artwork and mellotron sleaze
All the fine tuning at every concert
beginning with crimson and ending with blue
The lock in the block and the dams and the numbers
the fish the chank the bush and the slumber
Oh be still be still
the change of pressure be still
oh oh be stil be still
calm your emotions be still be still be still
Alright you’re out my league
as you look at him and i start to freeze
Hes everything that i just cant be
so its time to end this lunacy
If I cant have you have no fear
its time to take your medicine dear
It tastes so sweet with chardonnay
the long cold shadows end the day
Oh be still be still
the change of pressure be still
oh oh be stil be still
calm your emotions be still be still be still

So it Goes
02:57
|
|||
|
No one knows where the wild things are
And no one really cares
We only get one chance at being who we are
Full credit for being alive
The poet and the one man band are leaving for the coast
Just like a ghost
And so it goes
To all the friends and seasick crew
Yeah you stood by me for a while
And look around there’s nowhere you can tread
Go lightly there’s no one to hear your prayers
Golden thrones and dummy clocks are close to hand
And by The Cage it’s all been said and done
And when we’re gone
And so it goes

Forever Tonight
03:42
|

|
If you reached for me
I would hold you eternally
When the world is closing in
Take my hand, I’ll cover yours
I will see you, I’ll can feel you
I’ll be with you
For the fight
I will hear you, I’ll stay near you forever
forever tonight
When the night seems too long
Just remember it’s darkest before dawn
And when you can’t face another day
I will hold you and tell you
It’s ok
I will see you, I’ll can feel you
I’ll be with you
For the fight
I will hear you, I’ll stay near you forever
forever tonight
Reach for me, Everytime, And you’ll see, Darling I’m
Gonna be there, gonna be there
Reach for me, hold my hand, knock my door, call my phone
And I’ll be there
You’re not alone
I will see you, I can feel you
I’ll be with you
For the fight
I will hear you, I’ll stay near you forever
forever tonight

For those that remember the Look and Read series in the early eighties (which had such programmes as 'Dark Towers'), in my opinion this music evokes those feelings of mystery and wonder. Very, very impressed.
