FLY FROM HERE - OVERTURE
(Instrumental)

FLY FROM HERE, PT.1 – WE CAN FLY
Along the edge of this airfield
The old prop shaft airliners stand
Altimeters reading zero
Formless memories lingering

Nights are cold on this airfield
I sit alone and watch the radar
Locked on the wavelength, caught in the beam
Falling slowly into the screen

Every day that you wait is one more that you've lost
When you wake up
I see you there
On display
Like some final point of no return
Taking us there from here

And we can fly from here (we can fly)
And we can fly from here (we can fly)
And we can fly from here (we can fly)
Into the sky that's clearing
Look back we'll dry the tears
For those once held so nearly
In love ww’ll never disappear

Along the edge of this airfield
The old prop shaft airliners stand
Altimeters reading zero
Formless memories lingering
Lingering, lingering, lingering

And we can fly from here
Into a sky so clearly
Look back, we'll dry the tears
For those once held so dearly
And we can fly from here (we can fly)
And we can fly from here (we can fly)
And we can fly from here (we can fly)
And we can fly from here (we can fly)
And we can fly from here
On the understanding that we can fly

Everyday that you wait Is one more that you've lost
On display like some final point of no return

Everyday that you waste is one more that you've lost
On display like some final point of no return

FLY FROM HERE, PT.2 – SAD NIGHT AT THE AIRFIELD
There are no ground staff in the empty corridors
There’s no one sleeping
No one awake

I'd start an engine in the night if only just to break the silence
That last intake of air
That clouds in the night as we breathe
Too late for even the night planes to leave
We can wait for dawn
To carry on
Then we can fly from here

I want to be the one who always gives you shelter
Finds a way to keep you warm
I want to be the one who's always there beside you
But we both must
Face the dawn alone
So cruel like the world that we leave
Too late for even the night planes to leave
We can wait for dawn
To carry on
Then we can fly from here

Only ghosts are in the empty corridors
And they're all strangers
Who never cared
I know them from some other life when things were different
And we both were in the air

Turn yourself around (turn yourself around)
Turn your life around (turn your life around)
Turn your world around (turn your world around)
Turn this ship around (turn this ship around)

So turn the wheel around
I watch the sky

All defenses down
I watch the skies
I watch the skies

FLY FROM HERE, PT.3 – MADMAN AT THE SCREENS
Take a table in the evening by the water side
Lonely eyes watch as the moonshines down a silve tide
Looking out from this position, are things what they seem?
It’s been spreading out from one decision into this bad dream
Out on the shoreline (shoreline)
Someone is waiting (waiting)
The wind that was falling is rising again
I hear the voices (voices)
I hear them calling (calling)
Every song was singing in the rain

Sailor, sailor beware
There are storm clouds
You must take care
Easy bring her around
All that night will
Run you aground

I know...

In the ceiling over our heads fans and moving air
Spinning out the hours of darkness warning sound somewhere
Out on the shoreline (shoreline)
Someone is waiting (waiting)
The wind that was falling is rising again
I hear the voices (voices)
I hear them calling (calling)
Every song was singing in the rain

Sailor, sailor beware
There are storm clouds
You must take care
Easy bring her around
Or the night will run you aground
Mourning hear in the air
When you feel it
Know that you're there

Playing God behind the seats a madman at the screens

Playing God behind the seats a madman at the screens

Playing God behind the seats a madman at the screens

Dreaming, feeling the air
Dreaming, seeing you there

FLY FROM HERE, PT.4 – BUMPY RIDE
Dreaming
Seeing you there
See you
Sometime somewhere

FLY FROM HERE, PT.5 – WE CAN FLY REPRISE
We can fly, we can fly
We can fly, we can fly
And we can fly from here
Into a sky that’s clearing
Look back, we'll dry the tears
For those once held so nearly

And we can fly from here (we can fly)
And we can fly from here (we can fly)
And we can fly from here (we can fly)
And we can fly from here (we can fly)
And we can fly from here
On the understanding that we can fly

THE MAN YOU ALWWAYS WANTED ME TO BE
What have I become?
What am I running away from?
I used to see
Things in a very different way
What am I to do?
I have changed my point of view
I was lost
Now I’ve found myself in you

From some other part of me
I’ll summon the strength to see me through
From deep in the heart of me
To be everything you want me to
And that’s when I start to be
The man you’ve always seen in me
The man you’ve always wanted me to be

What have we become?
What are we running away from?
We need to see
Life in a very different way
Learning what to do
After all that we’re been through
No longer lost
We have found ourselves a-new

From some other part of me
I’ll summon the strength to see me through
From deep in the heart of me
To be everything you want me to
And that’s when I start to be
The man you’ve always seen in me
The man you’ve always wanted me to be

Ee yeah, ee yeah, ee yeah, ee yeah, ee yeah
Ee yeah, ee yeah, ee yeah, ee yeah, ee yeah
Ee yeah, ee yeah, ee yeah, ee yeah, ee yeah

The man you always wanted me to be
The man you always wanted me to be

Ee yeah, ee yeah, ee yeah, ee yeah, ee yeah
Ee yeah, ee yeah, ee yeah, ee yeah, ee yeah
Ee yeah, ee yeah, ee yeah, ee yeah, ee yeah

LIFE ON A FILM SET
All the poems of my neighbours
That drift across the sand
Are just the tendrels of a vast
But gentle plant which they command
The headdress of a goddess
You wore the night we came
Is only one small symptom
I’m really not to blame
You're riding a tiger
Riding a tiger

Heaven sent the mortals
Raged upon the wall
And likewise all the missiles
Shot to make them fall
Effortlessly moving
Picture into frame
Riding a tiger
Riding a tiger
Riding a tiger

Over the beaches into the sky
Into the reach of some last goodbye
Key grip was crying best boy was made
Here in the shelter no one afraid
We were there

Follow the road that leads to the sun
Look for the leader he is the one
Who will offer the silence you must beware
Using the danger no one can share,
Aaah, aaah

Riding a tiger
Riding a tiger
Riding a tiger
Riding a tiger

Out of the morning into the day
Onto the evening no where to stay
We were always together always the same
Into the future no one to blame

Riding a tiger
Riding a tiger
Riding a tiger
Riding a tiger
Riding a tiger
Riding a tiger

HOUR OF NEED
In the dark while the obvious isn't clear
Can't believe just what can interfere
Remember what has been achieved
Keep trying it's the hour of need

What's the cost?
Can the end justify the means?
There's a need so many mouths to feed

Remember what has been achieved
Keep trying it's the hour of need
Still hoping we can succeed
In this hour of need

Words unwritten mistrust suspicion
Stuck in this wilderness
For everyone water to drink
Either we sink or swim

SOLITAIRE
(Instrumental)

INTO THE STORM
Something not so superficial
Like something I can really do without
Need a hand to hold onto
Help me understand

What's the point of preparation now
You've just got to make that leap somehow
Into the storm

All the stories you've been telling
You must know someday they'll find you out
Through this life you've been propelling
Now you're spinning out

Time to make your reparations now
You've just got to make that leap somehow
Come on and make it now
Into the storm

Armies of angels are starting to form
Bathed in the light of the break of the dawn
Armies of angels are leading me on
Take me away from the heart of the storm
Take me away
Take me away

One thing learnt from all these years
As stupid now as we were at first
Maybe that's the way it goes
When you try to change this world

Sending pointless invitations out
You always knew what this was all about
Somewhere a fire is breaking out
Into the storm

Armies of angels are starting to fall
Bathed in the light of the break of the dawn
Armies of angels are leading me on
Take me away from the heart of the storm
Take me away
Take me away

And we can fly from here
And we can fly from here
And we can fly from here
And we can fly from here
