Cat's foot iron claw
Neuro-surgeons scream for more
At paranoia's poison door
Twenty-first century schizoid man.

Blood rack barbed wire
Politicians' funeral pyre
Innocents raped with napalm fire
Twenty-first century schizoid man.

Death seed blind man's greed
Poets' starving children bleed
Nothing he's got he really needs
Twenty-first century schizoid man.

Cat's foot iron claw

Twenty first century schizoid man.

Death seed blind man's greed

In the dead of the night
On the wings of the wind
I hear the ocean bell
With a flash of the light
In the beat of the dark
The sound I know so well

I shall never forget you
It? been so long
I should never have left you
The call so strong

CHORUS
It? a far cry from a wild world
I want to get back to you
Such a long road, to the homeland
I must make my way to a far cry

From the chords of the earth
To the depths of the sea
I will return
As I look to the hill
Through the eyes of the storm
I touch the flame

I shall never forget you
It? been so long
I should never have left you
The call so strong

CHORUS

It? such a far cry

Seen from the height
Of a thousand miles
The earth looks the same as it did
How is it we can fly faster than day
But we can't find the things we need

Young man said the old man
Let the youth in your heart be at rest
We may all be dead
In a year or a day
When the devil is put to the test ?

The day of creation
Was our finest hour
It's something we ought to defend
But it's been so abused
Since the first day of light
That no glory can come in the end

Young man cried the old man
There is victory in staying alive
And if you care so little
For the world we're in
Why and what do you
Want to survive

Can't we try
To let the past go by
With it's lessons firmly
Settled in our minds
To our children one by one
And before the darkness comes
Let us leave a world full of light
Of a different kind

In truth they should meet
And with love
Their hearts should beat
And with patience
Solve the problems of our time
It wouldn't be so hard to do
It's only up to me and you
Let us not bequeath
A life that is a crime

Young man cried the old man
Let the youth in your heart be at rest
We may all be dead
In a year or a day
When the devil is put to the test

Young man ...

For those that are able
To go underground
Missiles disenable
They hit faster then sound
They're coming and you have no choice
The helpless with one human voice
You will categorically say
This underdog will have his day

One more dead is one more
Then it ought to be
A travesty oh oh

One more missed will be kissed
To eternity
Or purgatory oh oh

After the war
After the war

Red button he's pressing
But he knows not why
He's programming orders
War lights up the sky
He's on the hotline tonight
His mind is high as a kite
His fingers decide wrong or right
This man has it all in his sights

Used as tools to believe
In autonomy
Minorities are no more

Men are fools
One last cry to humanity
No sanity anymore

After the war
After the war
After the war

On my arm a tattoo for my sons to be
That numbers you and me
There's a scar on my face
That is photographed for all to see oh oh

After the war..

This time, you know just what I'm saying
But you could never give a damn
Or so it seems

It's a fine line with this game that you're playing
And you could always turn around
Go running for home

Chorus
Alibis, little lies
Procrastination
Secrecy, duplicity
The end of your alibis

Something I could always believe in
Then suddenly just disappeared
It's all over now

Chorus

Goodbye your tiny whispers of comfort
Never the victim of circumstance
You had me deceived

So, Jodie, maybe this is the last time
That I will ever speak your name
I'm going home

Chorus

Chorus

A perfect day, or so I say
From where I'm standing
This rollercoaster ride, fate will decide
The ending

Love everlasting, or lost on the way

The smiles and the frowns, the ups and downs
Of fortune turning
The twists and turns, the lessons learned
The bridges burning

Nights to remember and never forget

CHORUS
Go, seize the day
Wake up and say
This is an extraordinary life, oh
Enjoy today
Come what may
This is an extraordinary

I gave it all, my cards have fallen
But I'm still alive
And in the end, believe my friend
I will survive

Glory or heartache and some of the joy

CHORUS

All of the good times, all of the bad
Responsibility is totally mine I know
I rightly stand accused
But I believe that I can change
Yes, I can change my world

CHORUS

CHORUS

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

Walked the streets at night
Head low
To cross the borderline
That only you know
Then inside your room
You'll show
The man you did not want to be

Chorus:
Are you big enough?
Are you losing your touch?
And if you walk away
Don't you know you'd better change

From these early days
Don't want to let go
You'd climb the stairs of change
To her room
Held those clothes so soft
Was it so good
To paint the face the scars of youth?

Chorus

As I look back
In that last act
Far beyond the call of duty

Did I stay strong?
Did I give more?
Far beyond the call of duty

And I know, you know... now

Wheels turn - smoke rise
Chrome wings - low ride
Freeway - red line
To city lights electric I glide
If there? 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

CHORUS
The bad boy? back
The bad boy? back in town
The bad boy? back
Don? you shoot him down

Wheels spin - ace high
No win - no life
One world - truth lies
Love? just a word on a red neon sign
If there? escape from the conclusion
You gotta shake the whole institution

CHORUS

If there? escape from your illusion
You gotta break the whole constitution

CHORUS

And now I stand, forsaking pride
The time has come to turn the tide
I've drawn the line, I've built my wall
And I won't let one more dream fall

All days of innocence, I surrendered long ago

Where's the wind that takes me higher
The hand that offers peace
The heart that still gives shelter'

I wanna go back to find
The innocent days that I left behind
I still believe they're holding ground
Behind the battle lines
If it takes a million miles over land and sea
Gonna swim in the rivers of purity
I know they still run free
Behind the battle lines

One more mountain I must climb
I've scaled so many in my time
And if the sun goes down on me
The light of truth will help me see

All days of innocence, I surrendered long ago

Where's the voice that speaks of mercy
The eyes that are not blind
The love that's never ending'

I wanna go back to find
The innocent days that I left behind
I still believe they're holding ground
Behind the battle lines
If it takes a million miles over land and sea
Gonna swim in the rivers of purity
I know they still run free

A vision of eternity
Oh, Lord! Never take the dream from me
Here I am, standing at the edge of destiny'

I wanna go back to find
The innocent days that I left behind
I still believe they're holding ground

If it takes a million miles over land and sea
Gonna swim in the rivers of purity
I know they still run free...

Sail down the stream
Such a beautiful dream
Never stopping
Never touching anything
Till dawn awakes you
With a breath of the Spring

Far from the crowds
Way above the clouds
We can take you to
The edge of the day
And show you living in
A new kind of way

We'll take you floating to
A sea of morning dew
Where everyone's the same
And no-one knows your name
And there you'll see that you can
Live your life to the extreme
Such a beautiful dream

Sail down the stream
Such a beautiful dream
Never stopping
Never touching anything
Till dawn awakes you
With a breath of the Spring

Far from the crowds
Way above the clouds
We can take you to
The edge of the day
And show you living in
A new kind of way

We'll take you floating to
A sea of morning dew
Where everyone's the same
And no-one knows your name
And there you'll see that you can
Live your life to the extreme
Such a beautiful dream

Sail down the stream
Such a beautiful dream
Never stopping
Never touching anything
Till dawn awakes you
With a breath of the Spring

Far from the crowds
Way above the clouds
We can take you to
The edge of the day
And show you living in
A new kind of way

We'll take you floating to
A sea of morning dew
Where everyone's the same
And no-one knows your name
And there you'll see that you can
Live your life to the extreme
Such a beautiful dream

I thought I had a girl
And all because I seen her.
I thought I had a girl
And all because I seen her.
Her hair was golden brown (yes it was)
Blowin' free like a cornfield.

She was far away
I found it hard to reach her.
She told me you can try
But it's impossible to find her.

In my dreams everything was all right -
In your schemes you can only try.

If I only could deceive you
Forgetting the game
Every time I try to leave you
You laugh just the same
'Cause my wheels never touch the road
And the jumble of lies we told
Just returns to my back to weigh me down
We lay cards upon the table
The backs of our hands
And I swear I like your people
The boys in the band
Reminiscences gone astray
Coming back to enjoy the fray
In a tangle of night and daylight sounds

All completeness in the morning
Asleep on your side
I'll be waking up the crewmen
Banana-boat ride
She responds like a limousine
Brought alive on the silent screen
To the shuddering breath of yesterday
There's the succour of the needy
Incredible scenes
I'll believe you in the future
Your life and death dreams
As the cavalry of despair
Takes a stand in the lady's hair
For the favour of making sweet sixteen
You make my life and times
A book of bluesy Saturdays
And I have to chose

If I only could deceive you
Forgetting the game
Every time I try to leave you
You laugh just the same

'Cause my wheels never touch the road
And the jumble of lies we told
Just returns to my back to weigh me down...

We lay cards upon the table
The backs of our hands
And I swear I like your people
The boys in the band

Reminiscences gone astray
Coming back to enjoy the fray
In a tangle of night and daylight sounds...

All completeness in the morning
Asleep on your side
I'll be waking up the crewmen
Banana-boat ride

She responds like a limousine
Brought alive on the silent screen
To the shuddering breath of yesterday...

There's the succour of the needy
Incredible scenes
I'll believe you in the future
Your life and death dreams

As the cavalry of despair
Takes a stand in the lady's hair
For the favour of making sweet sixteen...

You make my life and times
A book of bluesy Saturdays
And I have to chose...

The night is cold, the sun is down
I see faces through the wire
No chance for them
No shoulder left to cry on

It's 4 am out on the street
Through the smoke I see the fire
It's a funeral pyre
For them to die on

{chorus}
Countdown to zero
Just begun
Coundown to zero
It's time to start the run

The city lights are fading now
As I climb into the plane
To shield me from
The stinging acid rain

And this is it, it's over now
As we taxi down Runway One
Tell me please
You'll wake me when it's over

{chorus}

Do you realize what's happening in Western Europe?
Norway, Finland, Scotland, England
We will be the first to go
Don't do it

{chorus}

Don't do it
Don't do it
Don't start the countdown to zero
We want to live
We want to live
We will live
You've got your finger on the trigger
Take it off
Let it go
Let it pass
Let it go

Dreams that have melted now frozen like statues
Under the surface here lies the unknown
Love has a way of disguising it? purpose
Seeing your pain my hand goes out to you

You should have known better than to trust him
How the pain shines through your eyes

Nothing hits harder than a crime of the heart
It breaks you up and it tears you apart
You just want to die, you?e been so abused
Now you know how it feels to be used
Nothing hurts harder than a crime of the heart
I? such a fool, I should have known from the start
I saw it coming and I feel I? to blame
But love don? give in

I watch your face as you stare into distance
Eyes filled with tears that look so far away
Deep in your heart can you feel a resistance ?
Love it just happens there? no-one to blame

You should have known better than to sacrifice
The stained-glass soul you hide

Nothing hits harder than a crime of the heart
It? the kind of feeling that pulls you apart
There? nowhere to run, there? nothing to say
You never knew that you could feel this way
Nothing hurts harder than a crime of the heart
I could have told you he was wrong from the start
I? not guilty, but I feel I? too blame
My love won? give in

Crime of the heart

The door swings open but you won't go it
You hate the movie that you haven't seen
You couldn't see what I have in mind
I see you laughing but you're
Cutting it, cutting it fine

You never should have done those things to me
There's one thread left 'tween you and history
And while our temperature is rising high
I'm warning you that you are
Cutting it, cutting it fine

Cutting it, cutting it fine...

You gambled all on one important game
Now take the debt and don't complain
Your game was up, I saw it all the time
I saw that vice, girl, you're
Cutting it, cutting it fine

Your sole advisor watch out for yourself
You never listen to anyone else
You were the one who ignored the signs
Dancing on a fine line
Cutting it, cutting it fine

Cutting it, cutting it fine...

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

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

Hard times you had before you
I knew when I first saw you
You girl youve always been mistreated, cheated

So leave it all behind you
It took so long to find you
I know that we can last forever, ever and more, more, oh

Dont Cry now that Ive found you
Don Cry take a look around you
Dont Cry it took so long to find you
Do what you want, but little darling please Dont Cry

I knew Id never doubt it
I was so sure about it
Dont think of all thats been before

Ill hear you when youre calling
Ill catch you when youre falling
Dont worry I will always be there, like never before, or, oh

Your admirers on the street
Gotta hoot and stamp their feet
In the heat from your physique
As you twinkle by in moccasin sneakers

And I thought my heart would break
When you doubled up at the stake
With your fingers all a-shake
You could never tell a winner from a snake
but you always make money

Easy money

With your figure and your face
Strutting out at every race
Throw a glass around the place
Show the colour of your crimson suspenders

We would take the money home
Sit around the family throne
My old dog could chew his bone
For two weeks we could appease the Almighty

Easy money

Got no truck with the la-di-da
Keep my bread in an old fruit jar
Drive you out in a motor-car
Getting fat on your lucky star just making

Easy money.

So early in the morning
It's the same now every day
Sign your name and number
Cutting from the ball and chain

Never letting go when
The weight was so deceiving
Treading on a turning wheel

Machinery is screaming
Shoulder to the stone again
Praying for the evening
Hiding as the fist hits steel

Chorus:
Enough's enough
It's eye to eye
Enough's enough
We cry
Enough's enough
Of smoke and steel
Enough's enough
Of turning this wheel

Looking at his picture
Steel did turn the skin to bone
Father I remember
The hands that had to break the stone

Chorus

Now...in this faraway land
Strange...that the palms of my hands
Should be damp with expectancy

Spring...and the air's turning mild
City lights...and the glimpse of a child
Of the alleyway infantry

Friends...do they know what I mean
Rain...and the gathering green
Of an afternoon out-of-town

But Lord I had to go
My trail was laid too slow behind me
To face the call of fame
Or make a drunkard's name for me
Though now this other life
Has brought a different understanding
And from these endless days
Shall come a broader sympathy
And though I count the hours
To be alone's no injury...

My home...was a place near the sand
Cliffs...and a military band
Blew and air of normality

Now in this faraway land
Strange that the palms of my hands
Should be damp with expectancy

Spring, and the air's turning mild
City lights and the glimpse of a child
Of the alleyway infantry

Friends ? do they know what I mean?
Rain and the gathering green
Of an afternoon out of town

But lord I had to go
The trail was laid too slow behind me
To face the call of fame
Or make a drunkard's name for me
Though now this better life
Has brought a different understanding
And from these endless days
Shall come a broader sympathy
And though I count the hours
To be alone's no injury

My home was a place by the sand
Cliffs and a military band
Blew an air of normality

Now...in this faraway land
Strange...that the palms of my hands
Should be damp with expectancy

Spring...and the air's turning mild
City lights...and the glimpse of a child
Of the alleyway infantry

Friends...do they know what I mean
Rain...and the gathering green
Of an afternoon out-of-town

But Lord I had to go
My trail was laid too slow behind me
To face the call of fame
Or make a drunkard's name for me
Though now this other life
Has brought a different understanding
And from these endless days
Shall come a broader sympathy
And though I count the hours
To be alone's no injury...

My home...was a place near the sand
Cliffs...and a military band
Blew and air of normality

Wetton/Downes)

I don't want to see your picture
On a faded video
I don't want to turn the clock back
To the way it used to go

Can you give me any reasons
Why I made this sacrifice?
When you thought you walked on water
You were skating on thin ice

'Cause we don't see EYE TO EYE
'Cause we don't see EYE TO EYE

I don't want to be memory
Just another Anglophile
I would never learn your language
Could it be there's no more time?

Is there any reason talking
'Bout your crazy point of view?
You can't even try to answer
The questions that I put to you

'Cause we don't see EYE TO EYE
'Cause we don't see EYE TO EYE

Tears of joy at the birth of a brother
Never alone from that time
Sixteen Years through knife fights and danger
Strangely why his life not mine
West side skyline crying
Fallen angel dying
Risk a life to make a dime
Lifetimes spent on the streets of a city
Make us the people we are
Switchblade stings in one tenth of a moment
Better get back to the car
Fallen angel

Fallen angel

West side skyline
Crying for an angel dying
Life expiring in the city
Snow white side streets of cold New York City
Stained with his blood it all went wrong
Sick and tired blue wicked and wild
God only knows for how long
Fallen angel

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?

Go
by Asia



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...

A secret smile
Comes to my eyes like a bolt from the blue
It's not your style
But it leads me to dream about what we could do

Could it be the same
(Could it be the same)
Ever be the same
(When I call your name)
Could it be the same again
Ever the same again?

It's hard on me
And I know, nothing comes easy
But it's hard on you
Believe me, baby it's hard on me

A trick of light
Your face in the shadows alone in the night
You're in my sights
All I've been thinking I know that it's right

See you standing there
(See you standing there)
Magic in the air
(Magic in the air)
Now the smoke has cleared
Time has disappeared

It's hard on me
But you know, nothing comes easy
But it's hard on you
I need you, always believe me

Could it be the same?
(Could it be the same)
Ever be the same
(When I call your name)
Could it be the same
Ever the same again?

It's hard on me
But I know, nothing comes easy
But it's hard on you
I need you, always believe me

It's hard on me
But you know, nothing comes easy
But it's hard on you
I've hurt you before
Now please don't make it hard on me

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
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
It was the heat of the moment
Heat of the moment
Heat of the moment
shone in your eyes

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
It was the heat of the moment
Telling me what
your heart meant
Heat of the moment
shone in your eyes
It was the heat of the moment
Heat of the moment
Heat of the moment
shone in your eyes

Heat of the moment
Heat of the moment
Heat of the moment

I am caught in the heat
Hold your head as you sleep
How can I close my eyes watching you
Such a fever inside from emotions within
Burning the night with the truth

Sweetest poison - positive attraction
Raging in my mind

CHORUS
Oh if you walk away
You?l take the life from me
Oh if you walk away
You?l take the air I breathe
Life would be lonely
More than you?l never know
?os you?e put all heaven on earth

I hear the sound of your voice
On the breath of the wind
I feel the touch of an angel
Next to my skin
It cuts so deep inside
It draws out the life
Harder with every time

Sweetest poison - positive attraction
Raging in my mind

CHORUS

All through the winter I thought I'd never see you again
Oh God where were you when I needed you
I know that you, no, you would never have betrayed me
I thought I'd die, why? All the reasons still evade me
But you're back

{chorus}
Now I can see you
Now I can feel you
Now that I want you
Now I can touch you
Next to me
Here it comes

Here comes the feeling
Here comes that same old feeling
Here comes the feeling
Here comes that same old feeling

This is for real, I never felt so good before
I see the world through different eyes
Now that you're back, nothing in the least can overcome me
Misery gone, plus all the doubt that overran me
But you're back

{chorus}

{repeat first verse}
{chorus}

I hold the razor blade up to my face
I feel the pulse beneath my skin
The crimson line describes the outer trace
Of my broken heart within

I thought I was invincible
Until the sky fell down on me

You are my heroine, do with me what you will
This is no time to die, no time to kill
My heroine, my lover to the end
You give me life again, you are my heroine

I turn my mind back not so long ago
When I was cast upon the ground
Then utter chaos rained into my life
What I had lost could not be found

And I thought I'd live forever
My time on Earth had ceased to be

You are my heroine, do with me what you will
This is no time to die, no time to kill
The gentle waves of rolling sea
Washing my demons from me
You are my heroine, all that matters to me

I may have loved you for a thousand years
But then you've known that all along
I always saw you as an eagle high in the sky
So tell me why
Only you hold the key to set me free

And I thought I saw eternity
With my own eyes too blind to see

You are my heroine, do with me what you will
This is no time to die, no time to kill
My heroine, my lover to the end
You give me life again with peace you send
The gentle waves of rolling sea
To wash all the demons from me
You are my heroine, all that matters to me
