I held the book so tightly in my hands
I saw your picture, heard you call my name There was something strange, I could not look away I wanted to be there, I wanted to go You gave me no warning, you gave no reason But I was with you, right by your side Just give me the strength and I can help you They can try their hardest, they don't frighten me It's written in the book It's hotter than I've known before But I feel so cold and I don't know why But if the fire within your heart can beat the storm Then I really believe you could make it right The time has come now, we must show our feelings But I'm looking right through you and your heart is empty Whatever happened to you, it's too late to change now There's nowhere you can run to, no place to hide Ah, you let me down ...but wait a minute, I don't understand It's getting stronger, so grab my hand Don't wanna leave you, don't wanna go But I'm losing all control Can't you see me, I'm slipping away I can only stay if you've the will to keep me here It's written in the book Oh, so many times since hten I've read those words Just waiting to see you, can you see me |

Times were good
She never thought about the future, she just did what she would Oh, but she really cared About her music, it all seemed so important then And she dreamed that everytime that she performed Everyone would cry for more That all she had to do was step into the light And everyone would start to roar And on the road Where all but a few fall by the wayside, on the grassier verge She battled through Against the others in her world, and the sleep, and the odds But now everytime that she performed Everybody cried for more Soon all she had to do was step into the light For everyone to start to roar And all the people cried: "You're the one we've waited for!" But time went by It wasn't so easy now, all uphill and not feeling so strong Yes, times were hard Too much thinking about the future and what the people might want And then there was the time that she performed When NOBODY called for more And soon everytime she stepped into the light They really let her know the score But she dreamed of the times when she sang her songs And everybody cried for more When all she had to do was step into the light For everyone to start to roar And all the people cried: "You're the one we've waited for!" |

There must be some misunderstanding
There must be some kind of mistake I waited in the rain for hours And you were late Now it's not like me to say the right thing But you could've called to let me know I checked your number twice, don't understand it So I went home Well I'd been waiting for this weekend I thought that maybe we could see a show Never dreamed I'd have this feeling Oh but seeing you is believing That's why I don't know why You didn't show up that night There must be some misunderstanding There must be some kind of mistake I was waiting in the rain for hours And you were late Since then I've been running around trying to find you I went to the places that we always go I rang your home but got no answer Jumped in my car, I went round there Still don't believe it He was just leaving There must be some misunderstanding There must be some kind of mistake |

Does he meet with the mole, the stream, the cloud And end up at the bottom of the sea Fish he got hook in his throat Fish he got problems Where does he go, what does he do? Does he hope he's too small, too poor a haul And end up being thrown back in the sea I'm back in the sea Caretaker, horror movie Only one eye, only needs one boot Sweet lady, she knows she looks good Vacuum coming for the bright and the brute Big noise, black smoke So pig headed couldn't see the joke But it ain't funny Ask the fly on the wall It's only living It don't matter at all, at all Pimp he make you drool and grunt He got an answer One he got a dream of love Deep as the ocean Where does he go? What does he do? Will the siren team with Davy Jones And trap him at the bottom of the sea I'm back in the sea |

Talk to me, you never talk to me.
Ooh, it seems that I can speak. I can hear my voice shoutin' out. But there's no reply at all. Look at me, you never look at me. Ooh, I've been sittin, starin', seems so long. But you're lookin' through me Like I wasn't here at all. No reply. There's no reply at all. Dance with me, you never dance with me. Ooh, it seems that I can move. I'm close to you, close as I can get. Yet there's no reply at all. There's no reply at all. Be with me. Seems you're never here with me. Ooh, I've been tryin' to get over there. Oh, but it's out of my reach. And there's no reply at all. There's no reply at all. I get the feelin' you're tryin' to tell me; Is there somethin' that I should know? What excuse are you tryin' to sell me? Should I be readin' stop or go? I don't know. Be with me. Seems you're never here with me. Ooh, I've been tryin' to get over there. Oh, but it's out of my reach. And there's no reply at all. There's no reply at all. I get the feelin' you're tryin' to tell me; Is there somethin' that I should know? What excuse are you tryin' to sell me? Should I be readin' stop or go? I don't know. Maybe deep down inside, I'm tryin' for no one else but me, too stubborn to say, "The buck stops here. I'm not the one you're lookin' for." But maybe deep down inside, I'm lyin' To no one else but me. Oh, but my back is up. I'm on my guard With all the exits sealed. Listen to me, you never listen to me. Oooh, and it seems there's no way out. I've been tryin' but we cannot connect. And there's no reply at all. There's no reply at all. There's no reply at all. No reply at all. Is anybody list'nin? Oh, there's no reply at all... |

I got sunshine in my stomach
Like I just rocked my baby to sleep. I got sunshine in my stomach And I can't keep me from creeping sleep, Sleep, deep in the deep. Rockface moves to press my skin White liquids turn sour within Turn fast - turn sour Turn sweat - turn sour. Must tell myself that I'm not here. I'm drowning in a liquid fear. Bottled in a strong compression, My distortion shows obsession In the cave, Get me out of this cave! If I keep self-control, I'll be safe in my soul. And the childhood belief Bring's a moment's relief. But my cynic soon returns And the lifeboat burns. My spirit just never learns. Stalactites, stalagmites Shut me in, lock me tight Lips are dry, throat is dry. Feel like burning, stomach churning I'm dressed up in a white costume Padding out leftover room. Body stretching, feel the wretching In the cage Get me out of this cage! In the glare of a light, I see a strange kind of sight; Of cages joined to form a star Each person can't go very far, All tied to their things They are netted by their strings, Free to flutter in memories of their wasted wings. Outside the cage I see my brother John, He turns his head so slowly round. I cry out Help! before he can be gone, And he looks at me without a sound. And I shout out 'John please help me!' But he does not even want to try to speak. I'm helpless in my violent rage And a silent tear of blood dribbles down his cheek, And I watch him turn again and leave the cage. My little runaway. Raindrops keep falling on my head thinking falling on my... In a trap, feel a strap Holding still. Pinned for kill. Chances narrow that I'll make it, In the cushioned straight-jacket. Just like 22nd Street. When they got me by my neck and feet. Pressures building, can't take more. My headaches charge. My earaches roar. In this pain Get me out of this pain. If I could change to liquid, I could fill the cracks up in the rock. But I know that I am solid And I am my own bad luck. Outside John disappears and my cage dissolves, And without any reason my body revolves. Keep on turning, Keep on turning... Turning around Just spinning around. |

(Written by Tony Banks)
Like the dust that settles all around me, I must find a new home The ways and holes that used to give me shelter Are all as one to me now. But I, I would search everywhere Just to hear your call, And walk upon stranger roads than this one In a world I used to know before I miss you more. Then the sun reflecting off my pillow, Bringing the warmth of new life. And the sounds that echoed all around me, I caught a glimpse of in the night But now, now I've lost everything, I give to you my soul, The meaning of all that I believed before Escapes me in this world of none, no thing, no one. And I would search everywhere Just to hear your call, And walk upon stranger roads than this one, In a world I used to know before For now I've lost everything, I give to you my soul. The meaning of all that I believed before Escapes me in this world of none, I miss you more. |

See the lonely man there on the corner,
What he's waiting for, I don't know, But he waits everyday now. He's just waiting for something to show. And nobody knows him, And nobody cares, 'Cos there's no hiding place, There's no hiding place - for you. Looking everywhere at no one, He sees everything and nothing at all - oh. When he shouts nobody listens, Where he leads no one will go - oh. He's a lonely man, there on the corner, What he's waiting for, I don't know, But he waits everyday now. He's just waiting for something to show - oh. Nobody knows him, And nobody cares, 'Cos there's no hiding place, There's no hiding place - for you and me. Are we just like all the rest, We're looking too hard for something he's got Or moving too fast to rest. But like a monkey on your back you need it. But do you love it enough to leave it - ah. Just like the lonely man there on the corner, What he's waiting for, I don't know - oh. But he waits every day now. He's just waiting for that something to show - oh. Who's the lonely man there on the corner, What he's waiting for, I don't know. But he's there every day now. And he's just waiting for something to show - oh. Who's the lonely man there on the corner, What he's waiting for, I don't know. Oh but he waits every day now. He's just waiting for that something to show |
