New Dreams
03:10
|
|||
|
A bird with a broken wing
A fish with a damaged fin
A scorpion without a sting
A peach with a blemished skin
The sun hidden by a cloud
A voice lost in a crowd
A flame with a missing spark
A lover with a broken heart
Old dreams have slipped away
They're lying on the ground
I'm empty-handed now
I'm looking for new dreams
A wheel with a punctured tyre
A poem with a faulty rhyme
Libido with no desire
A rhythm out of time
Old dreams have slipped away
They're lying on the ground
I'm empty-handed now
I'm looking for new dreams
I've shed my skin
I've cast off all my clothes
I've left those dreams behind me
I've let them go
Old dreams have slipped away
They're lying on the ground
I'm empty-handed now
I'm looking for new dreams

Providence
03:14
|

|
I believe in providence
That's what she said to me
I believe that feelings are waves
We can choose which ones we chase
I believe in providence
I believe in fate
I believe in providence
I believe in faith
I believe in providence
That's what she said to me
I believe that the Lord will see
The fallen sparrow in the empty street
I believe in providence
I believe in fate
I believe in providence
I believe in faith
I will pray for you, she said
It will be okay for you, she said
I will pray for you, she said
I believe in providence
That's what she said to me
I believe that the gods will provide
If we let them be our guide
I believe in providence
I believe in fate
I believe in providence
I believe in faith

The Swan
03:46
|
|||
|
As I was gazing on the emerald lake
A swan glided over
Not a ripple did she make
Preening her feathers she begged my permission
To tell me her story
I said I would listen

It Could Only Be You
02:01
|

|
Every hat that you wear
Every thing that you do
Every role that you play
It could only be you
Every song that you sing
Every storm you sail through
Every poem you write
It could only be you
Every step of the way
Everywhere that you go
Every gift that you give
It could only be you
Every way that you turn
Is such a beautiful view
Every secret I learn
It could only be you
Every goal that you set
Every dream that comes true
Every plan that you make
It could only be you

We Are The One
03:46
|
|||
|
We live in gilded cages
Mansions built of stone
Walled in by high fences
Perched upon our thrones
Flattered by our courtiers
Our petty acolytes
Pampered by our mistresses
Our willing concubines
Out there in the badlands
Our slaves toil gladly
Under our protection
Grateful for our kindnesses
For we are the one
And we do as we please
And we satisfy our every need
We summon our PR men
To help them craft their lines
We call our faithful servants
Whose headlines we advise
Up here where the air is clear
We feast at our high tables
Bloated by our idleness
Grown fat on our indulgences
For we are the one
And we do as we please
At our command
They fall to their knees
You occupy your squares
You 99
We hope you're happy there
For we will go elsewhere
For we are the one
And we do as we please
And we satisfy our every need
Yes, we are the one
And we do as we please
Our rights divine
Our words decrees
We are the one
Yes, we are the one

Angels and Monsters

|
Angels and monsters
Walking among us
Floating above us
Feeling our pain
Wading through shallows
Chasing our shadows
Falling like dominoes
Losing our way
So I return to better times
Reasons and rhymes
Tragedy, comedy
Here in the twilight
Here in the half light
There in the afterlife
Fading away
Cultural amnesia
Deep anesthesia
Waves of hysteria
Lead us astray
So I return to better times
Reasons and rhymes
Tragedy, comedy
Open the skylight
Let in the moonlight
Blink in the sunlight
Staking our claim
So I return to better times
Reasons and rhymes
Tragedy, comedy

Bournville In The Rain
03:33
|
|||
|
Cautious thrushes hop on the grass
As we find a perch
Careless lager spills on the path
Now we run and hide from the showers
As the thunder claps
And this friendly shelter is ours
Watching Bournville in the rain
Now the bats are flitting around
In the fading light
As we put this circus to rights
Mr Barnum's fabulous show
With its troupe of clowns
Being cheered on by the crowd
Watching Bournville in the rain

Extra / Memory Trace
03:01
|
|||
|
I used to think you were the star
Now I see you're just an extra
Graffiti on my wall, the monkey on my shoulder
Venus de Milo on the stairs
You know I ain't seen nothing finer
Now it's time to say goodnight
It's time to write another chapter
It was a scene in a different film
It was a screenplay the studio rejected
It's on the floor of the cutting room
And you - you're just an extra
I wrote a winning script
I was a wannabe director
I thought the fates were smiling
Not chuckling with indifference
Now you've played your little part
You've performed your little cameo
I haven't got the heart
To shoot another camera angle
It was a scene in a different film
It was a screenplay the studio rejected
It's on the floor of the cutting room
And you - you're just an extra
----
Memory trace holding me back
On the defence, on the attack
Memory trace
Memory trace wasting my time
From the ridiculous to the sublime
Memory trace

Haunted By You
03:18
|
|||
|
I walk uneasy pavements
Blossom on the wet grass
Something stirs inside me
Memories drip from the past
I turn to you
I feel your loss
I'm standing there alone
No traffic here
The streets are ours
In this strange town of ghosts
Haunted by you
I sense a sudden presence
A shiver traces my spine
Standing there beside me
As the season rolls back the time
I turn to you
I feel your loss
I'm standing there alone
No traffic here
The streets are ours
In this strange town of ghosts
Haunted by you
Haunted by you
On the streets that I walk
On the paths that I stalk
Haunted by you
In the places I roam
When I stray far from home

Napoleon (Not Tonight)
02:08
|
|||
|
Napoleon sits in exile
On an island far away
All alone he relives his triumphs
It takes him back to the halcyon days
Josephine burns her memories
Sees them dancing in the flames
She reads the gossip in the papers
She doesn't care what people say
Not tonight
Not tonight
The glory of France
Slipped through their hands
They can't understand how or why
Circumstance cooled their romance
No last dance
Napoleon wrestles his demons
How he met his Waterloo
Josephine awakes from her dreams
The bloody ranks of red and blue
Not tonight
Not tonight
