Gentle Giant - Scraping The Barrel [compilation] (2004) by Gentle Giant (보컬) on maniadb.com

Look at the mirror over there, what do you see? Tell yourself a lie
Are you as old as you seem? Feel something that you have to
Being open, an innocent, wise only when. Age can mellow the haste
New hopes, ambitions undone - you're only as old as you're young

Out of your youth and you'll find that the time goes
slipping away where no-one knows
Soon enough Winter is changing to Spring
always understand one life it goes

Never as old as you're young and everything still yet to find
Dreams not realized
Thoughts rising, duties and vows continue, can't wait for you



Now is the day, tomorrow comes without an end
Mark time follow the sun - you're only as old as you're young

Out of your youth and you'll find that the time goes
slipping away where no-one knows
Soon enough Winter is changing to Spring
always understand one life it goes

So as you look around, look at the things you knew
Never seeking the past
Forget all the things you have done - you're only as old as you're young
Still open eyed and promises never quite complete
Working head in the air
The coming of age never comes - You're only as old as you're young

Running away, I'll leave you my address,
don't want you to reply to anybody
Forward my mail to the next place
I'll be responsible for nobody

Given my best to the people I knew
I'll always maintain my situation
And through it all,
no one told me that I was doing it for nobody

Tried to forget everything that we did
And thinking we did it all together
How it went wrong, can't remember
It doesn't matter much for nobody

Nobody tells, everyone understands
It's anybody for nobody
Anyone for everybody
I'll be responsible for nobody

Taking my leave leaving many regrets
I'll go without meeting understanding
Maybe one day realizing
That everybody is for nobody

And we're sitting here
Wondering where the peaceful night has gone
Over factories
Shadows on the street, our lives still go on

Another day, the songs the same
Forget our dreams, and play the game

The shadows on our street are clearer now, in light,
We see, this is as it's meant to be
Don't look there, just look at me

And it's waking now
And the grayness of the day will be here,
Want you near

He is the runaway
Lie low the wanted man
Mask his elusive face
Soon he will getaway

And free is his future
No more aimless time to spend
And evading, he's escaping
Four dirty walls and a bed in a cage his home no more.

Run in the underwood
Cover and hide the trail
Senses like sharpened sword
Guards for the shadow on his tail.

And yet his joy is empty and sad.

All thoughts are scarred with the prison cell
And freedom seems like freedom's hell
Hopes stained with strange regret
His dreams are dreams for that he cannot get.

And yet his joy is empty and sad.

Lose all identity
Vanish in own denial
Seeks only lies and hide
Truth never brought to trial.

And caught in his own net
He looks to find endless life
And evading, he's escaping
Four dirty walls and a bed in a cage his home no more.

Run in the underwood
Cover and hide the trail
Senses like sharpened sword
Guards for the shadow on his tail.

You'll find an answer, You've got to believe in your own way
of life.
So you'll have to find an answer, You'll have to find a way,
Try to find, Try to find.

You'll try to question her, Does she believe in the choice of
your life.
So you have to try to ask her, when you are away, left
behind, out of mind; away.

And in the end you discover, examine, you have to decide if
there is an answer, if there is a way, Let her find piece of
mind.

And another day, all alone, think there is away at home.
Every other may, have their own, way of life that is their
own.
And your wandering only a game to realise no joy your
own.

And another day, all alone, choice of life is not your own.

You'll try to question her, Does she believe in the way of
your life.
So you have to try to ask her, You'll have to find a way, left
behind, out of mind; away.

I'm sorry to have been so much of a bore
But in my own funny way
I find I learn much more.
I realise what you think from your eyes,
But in your own funny way
I find I learn much more.
My ways are strange
They'll never change
They stay, strange ways
I'm sorry to have been so close from the start,
But for all that I cared we could be miles apart.
I understood that you never would
Understand a way of life that I never could.
My ways are strange
They'll never change
They stay, strange ways
Go your own way or wait for me
Go your own way or wait for me
Go your own way or wait for me
Go your own way or wait for me

And so you see what happened to me
Since the time when I judged
my life in nights and days
I realised that my life was lies
So you see what I mean
with all my funny ways.
I'm sorry to have been so much of a bore
But in my own funny way
I find I learn much more
Funny ways, Funny ways,
Funny ways, Funny ways.

Now she sits by the riverside
Watching the waters glide by,
With a sigh
And the things she put faith in
Are ripples just waving her by
With a sigh
She sees lovers pass by with
much more than a kiss
Ah this little girl who had everything finds
she's nothing at all
Now the wind seems so cold
Seems all old as it laughs at her fears
And her tears
And as ducks swim away from her
Visions of past love appear
In her tears
She sees love in his face
as she tells him to go,
And so here's a girl who had everything now
she's Nothing at all

What could she do if she saw him now;
Now that he's gone she's losing
If she could see what she's seeing now
For sure she's more than just choosing

Now she sits by the riverside
Watching the waters glide by,
With a sigh
And the things she put faith in
Are ripples just waving her by,
With a sigh
She sees lovers pass by
with much more than a kiss
Ah this little girl who had everything finds
She's nothing at all

Why do you question
When there's no answer told?
Plain truth is nothing
You can't buy it when it's sold
Save all your money
And they won't reason why
Why all the worry?
They'll spend it when you die

Don't look for something
Plain truth is nothing,
nothing but the plain truth
Don't look for something
Plain truth is nothing,
nothing but the plain truth

You stand and wonder
Just let it warm your skin
Take all the living
Live life and let it win
Plain truth means nothing
Cry, laugh and cry again
You question answers
Born, live and die, Amen

Don't look for something
Plain truth is nothing,
nothing but the plain truth
Don't look for something
Plain truth is nothing,
nothing but the plain truth

Why do you question
When there's no answer told?
Plain truth is nothing
You can't buy it when it's sold
Save all your money
And they won't reason why
Why all the worry?
They'll spend it when you die

Don't look for something
Plain truth is nothing,
nothing but the plain truth
Don't look for something
Plain truth is nothing,
nothing but

Working head in the air
The coming of age never comes - You're only as old as you're young

In my way did I use you, do you think I really abused you
On reflection now it doesn't matter:
How can you say I made you need me more than anyone else
Who can say it right now it's finished over:
It's my act, it's my calling, I explained exactly the falling
Different ways of life can never even:
Be the same when you saw me, could you always take me the
same way as I came and went I tried to remember you:
Still you stay
Tied in your way
Changing times
Watching the signs
How:
Could you see in me what you thought about all you want me to be
Now:
On reflection why should have I changed my ways for you
All around all around
Cry my sympathy's with you but I never lied to you all in all
it seems it's just an experience:
Placed my cards on the table told of everything I was able,
Understanding still not anything different:
Find another to lean on, start again for I should have long
gone, on reflection now it's just an experience.
Soon the pain will have ended, together never intended, as I
come and go I'll try to remember you.
Look back it's not your game, together just in name.
I'll remember the good things how can you forget all the years
that we shared in our way:
Things were changing my life, taking your place in my life and
our time drifting away:
All around all around

Now the wings fell to ground as the miles they were crossed
All the years seemed like days as the time it was lost
For without his solutions and reasons for why
He should come up for air to the town once his by

So soon on his way
Shadows from the pathways
Memories of old days

That the journey was long many thoughts filled his mind
As he neared the stop always a dream he would find
But the road that he knew could no longer be seen
And the city lights flickered where lake waters gleamed

With sadness today
Hopes of joy yesterday
Memories of old days

Sky and the trees of his youthful time spent
Only smoke, only paper. No colour or scent

With sadness today
Hopes of joy yesterday
Memories of old days

Once he could smile maybe happy
Fighting for his future and his destinations
There were his friends he'd rely on
Everyone had nothing but their aspirations
Soon dreaming found realization
Winning was his target with deliberation

Now he has everything, tell me why
No one knows him, the veils shut out cutting the tie

So now he's made his own island
Not familiar even to his understanding
Thoughts turning sour, did he want it?
Something reassuring in his time and planning
What did he miss, needing nothing?
Seeing that it was the fighting and not the winning

No returning, no looking back, on with his way
Rising winner but falling man, gaining the day

Once he could smile maybe happy
Fighting for his future and his destinations
There were his friends he'd rely on
Everyone had nothing but their aspirations
Soon dreaming found realization
Winning was his target with deliberation

Running away, I'll leave you my address,
don't want you to reply to anybody
Forward my mail to the next place
I'll be responsible for nobody

Given my best to the people I knew
I'll always maintain my situation
And through it all,
no one told me that I was doing it for nobody

Tried to forget everything that we did
And thinking we did it all together
How it went wrong, can't remember
It doesn't matter much for nobody

Nobody tells, everyone understands
It's anybody for nobody
Anyone for everybody
I'll be responsible for nobody

Taking my leave leaving many regrets
I'll go without meeting understanding
Maybe one day realizing
That everybody is for nobody

I'm sorry to have been so much of a bore

Funny ways, Funny ways,
Funny ways, Funny ways.

Hear, he'll do it all for you, you will see it,
wise and knowing what to do, what to be
and every word is ........

Lies, he only tells the truth, for he means it,
means, not anything he says, eyes unseen,
but everything is ........

So sincere, so sincere, so sincere, so sin

Yes, that is to say no, understanding
wrong, he makes his promise right, with your hand
you'll never know why

So sincere, so sincere, so sincere, so sincere

So, sincere his thoughts so full, always empty
Good, or maybe things are bad, so sincere,
and every word is ........

So sincere, so ........

Who would believe me now that my hands are free,
that my hands are free
I never thought it would ever come to me,
ever come to me
Now that my life's my own, I leave you behind,
leaving you behind
What ever made you think that I'd change my mind,
that I'd change my mind

It wasn't hard to run, break away from you,
break away from you,
After all you'd done, what was I to do,
what was I to do
Who's gonna take my place in the games you play,
in the games you play
Nobody's listening now to the things you say,
all the things you say

Now my hands are free from the ties, from the ties
Now I look forward to the future, where it lies
And with you, feeling low, looking black
Here, now my head is clear, why should I look back

When it was over did you have regrets,
did you have regrets
Or did you really think it was over yet,
it was over yet
Now that my life's my own I leave you behind,
leaving you behind
What ever made you think that I'd change my mind,
change my mind
Change my mind
Change my mind
