A SIMPLE SONG
Time, it does not matter
But time is all we have
To think about, think about

Road, it has no end
Crossroads every turn
So it goes, so it goes

Once you sang
A simple song
Got confused
Went on too long

Why does the promise fade
You lie on the bed you make

Stranger than fiction
Further from the truth
Beyond imagination
Those seeds have taken root

Wild as a dream could be

From black and white
To blue and red
Golden circles
Flow above your head

Once you sang
A simple song
You got confused
And now it’s gone, ahhhhh!

Once you sang
A simple song
It all went wrong

Time, it does not matter
Time is all we have

WEIRDISTAN
We travel through time and meet on a stretch of sand
Yo're from up north and I live in wonderland
Dear neighbour of mine we're centuries, light years apart
You carry no flame but you're visible in the dark
Way across the border all those people waving flags
Sending me encouragement but I can't move
Something holds me back

The man in the moon is looking the other way
And while he's distracted we turn to another page
No questions of guilt, it seems like we're just out of sync
You do what you will and I'll do what I think
Imagine when you wake up, scratch your head and everything's changed
Nothing's where you left it, your normality's been rearranged
It's beautiful
Oh yes, it's beautiful
Leave our skin as we merge into one

It’s beautiful
Oh yes, it's beautiful
It's beautiful
Beautiful
Oh yes, it's beautiful
Beautiful

OUT OF HAND
Shiny silver faces, coloured paper falling into their hands
Never to be seen again it must have been a one night stand
Up until the dawn I could have sworn that everything was alright
Thieving bastards stole my life and legged it off into the night, yeah
It's a dirty business it's a dirty game
Everybody different but they're all the same
They draw you in you hear a siren call
Build you up so they can see you fall
You've seen it all before
Been there since time began
You know what's coming next
Everything gets out of hand

They've got the lot and god knows what they think that they deserve even more
Psychopathic tendencies, they've got a lot to answer for
Scratch my back and I'll stab yours, no wonder it's a universall sickness
Who are they, you well might ask, come with me and you can be my witness
It's a dirty business it's a crying shame
You blink your eye and all the laws have changed
They draw you in you hear a siren call
Build you up so they can see you fall
You've seen it all before
Been there since time began
You know what's coming next
Everything gets out of hand

It's a dirty business it's crying shame
You blink your eye and all the laws have changed
They say the vulture is a bird of prey
No-one told me it would come this way
You’ve seen it all before
Been there since time began
You know what's coming next
Everything, everything gets out of hand

HELL TO PAY
Take pity on Two-tone Eddie his hair was never right
He used to be cool with a glint in his eyes but he lost it overnight
Spinning world is changing, things are rearranging but Eddie says to me
Nothing wrong with the way it was that's the way it's meant to be

Up the revolution we're all prepared to die
Up the revolution that was the battle cry
There's gonna be Hell, Hell to pay
There's gonna be Hell, Hell to pay

Eddie was a died-hard rebel in the good old days of way back when
A cigarette was cool and all the kids in school could read and count to ten
Everyone said he had a future bright of that there was no doubt
He never could make us understand what the rebellion was all about

Up the revolution we're all prepared to die
Up the revolution that was the battle cry
There's gonna be Hell, yeah, Hell to pay
There's gonna be Hell, Hell to pay

Two-tone Eddie drew up battle plans for making love not war
Everybody laughed at the fighting in the streets from behind a guarded door
It came to nothing when it all went down and the band began to play
Another plan put your head in the sand live to fight another day

Up the revolution we're all prepared to die
Up the revolution that was the battle cry
There's gonna be Hell, Hell to pay
There's gonna be Hell, Hell to pay
There's gonna be Hell, Hell to pay
There's gonna be Hell

BODY LINE
I’ve been watching you dancing all night long
Your legs go on forever
Exquisite synchronicity but they never stay together
My head’s spinning, keeping focus on my whirling dervish
I don’t know who you are but I’m enslaved and at your service

It’s your body line
A moving silhouette
It’s your body line
When you do that pirouette
Your body line
Clearly defined
It’s your body line
A perfect outline, so divine

Chilling at the fire-pit lost in a haze of smok my eyes are popping
Back-light shines through your gossamer gown no wonder my jaw is dropping
Groping in the dark for any excuse forgive me tihs intrusion
No everything fine just as it is
Wouldn’t wanna be disillusioned

It’s your body line
So heavenly enshrined
It’s your body line
My oh my, oh my, oh my
Your body line
A perfect outline, so divine
Your body line

Animal attraction
Well bring me to your knees
ISensual distraction
Is what I need

It’s your body line
A moving silhouette
It’s your body line
When you do that pirouette
Your body line
Clearly defined
It’s your body line, your body line
A perfect outline, so divine

ABOVE AND BEYOND
Light up a candle
Start one for me
Let it float on the water
Right down to the sea
Draw back your curtain
Wave me goodbye
Lift up your arms
And look up to the sky
To the sky

Start me a candle
And keep it alight
Put it there in the window
And I’ll come back tonight
Touch me in the darkness
I’ll send you sign
Give me your loving
And I’ll give you mine
I may be leaving
But I won’t be gone
I’ll be there when you want me
Above and beyond

Nothing I can tell you
It’s all up to you
I’ll be here if you need me
Am I getting through
Rest on your sadness
And tomorrow we’ll find
That souls, having touched
Are forever entwined
I may be leaving
But not for too long
I’ll be there when you want me
Above and beyond

Yes, I may be leaving
But not for too long
I’ll be there when you want me
Above and beyond

BLOOD FROM A STONE
There’s shadow of the hole where my door used to be
You never give up, you want more out of me
Come on in, help yourself
Scratch around look at these empty shelves
Nothing left then I can see except a string of beads and some old potpourri

You rip fresh from the bone
You suck blood from a stone

I will consider a life of crime
So I can feed these kids of mine
And should I fall down, should I fail
I’ll spend the rest of my days in some stinking jail
I would know who left me empty inside
Stripped of my dignity low and dry

You rip fresh from the bone
You suck blood from a stone

Uuuh, you left me nothing
Ahhhh, but I don’t care

You robbed me blind without a gun
How can you sleep after what you’ve done?
There’s nothing but darkness deep in your soul
There’s no reflection, it’s dark and it’s cold

You rip fresh from a bone
You suck blood from a stone

You rip fresh from the bone
You suck blood from a stone

UNCOMMON MAN
Things fall together in time
Who said you can't have it all
The beast in the room
Heavy king of the feeling
It's got to be twenty foot tall
But the man is standing high
Oh, oh, oh, it's good to be king

Standing together again
Everyone's starting to sway
Up on a hill
Close to the sky
Oh it's fabulous day
And the man is walking tall
Oh, oh, oh it's good to be king
Oh, it's good to be king

Bow your head, the carriage is waiting to take you away

Remember the feeling
Remember the day
Believe what you're seeing
As the ladies-in-waiting drift away

It's good to be king
Ah it's good to be king
It's good to be king
Yes it's good to be king

APRÈS VOUS
Should’ve been there to start the game
To witness what we said
Me, Steve and the usual bow bout the awesome night ahead
Well that was the plan you understand the prospect for our mission
Nothing could possibly go awry til we lost out inhibition

Then we hit the red lights
And the Michelin girls
Another life
Another world
While you go ahead, I’ll quench my thirst
Après vous, you saw her first

Things got looser as they tend to do
More liquefied confusion
As we displayed our skills of romance
In the art of self-delusion
We were the chosen few and our confidence grew
Depends on where you’re standing
Despite what you think
It’s only a blink between take off and landing

Red lights
And Michelin girls
Another life
Another world
While you go ahead, I’ll quench my thirst
Après vous, you saw her first

Uh, come on man
Fill your boots
It’s a bust, so what can you do?
Yes I know that she wants me too
But I can’t jump the queue so après vous

While you go ahead, I’ll quench my thirst
Après vous!

ALL THE TIME IN THE WORLD
There's still a long way to go
And the nights are closing in
But if I'd travelled any faster babe
Lord knows where I might have been

Right from those early days
I put my faith in the axle not the wheels
Like old Zeno's toytus
with Achilles snapping at my heels

Don't worry
There's no hurry
Here we are
With all the time in the world

I could have been a high-flying dealer
But I have no desire for speed
I could have been a wild receiver
But I've got everything I need

And so I watched the world
Go racing by tearing up the street
I lay back in the long grass
Take it easy and rest my feet

Don't worry
You know, there's no hurry
Here we are
With all the time in the world

No-one ever held me back
You know that no-one ever put me in chains
No-one ever saw me racing ahead
No-one had to tug on my reins

As everybody knows
I may be slow but I never quit
Sometimes on a good day I sit and think
Sometimes I just sit

Don't worry
Relax, there's no hurry
Here we are
With all the time in the world
Don't worry
Relax, there's no hurry
Here we are
With all the time in the world

VINCENT PRICE
Lightning flashing on a heavy iron gate
Scares me to death but I just can't wait
Deep in the dungeon there's a rattling of chains
Mad Dr. Phibes gonna eat my brains

It feels so good to be afraid
Vincent price is back again

Heart pumping louder
The music's out of time
The vampire's dying
He's got to have wine
Red blood dripping, she doesn't have a prayer
I know it's not real but I just don't care

It feels so good to be afraid
Vincent price is back again

I want seven screaming virgins on a sacrificial altar
Howling dogs, creaking doors and zombies to die for

IT'LL BE ME
Well if you hear somebody knocking on your door
See something crawling across the floor
Baby it’ll be me, oh
I’ll be looking for you

If you find a new love and it shouldn’t fall
If you see somebody climbing up a thirty grand pole
Baby it’ll be me
I’ll be looking for you

I’m gonna look on a mountain
And in the deep blue sea
Gonna search all the forests
And look in every tree

If you feel something heavy on your fishing hook
If you see finally facing a comic book
Baby it’ll be me
I’ll be looking for you

I’m gonna look in the city
Where the lights are blue
I’m gonna search the country side
And I’m a hear your steps too

Well if you see somebody looking in all the cars
If you see a ride that you’re going way to Mars
Baby it’ll be me
I’ll be looking for you
I’ll be looking for you
I’ll be looking for you
I’ll be looking for you

YES: Otras letras



Abilene
Dear Father
I’m Down
Love Conquers All
Make It Easy
Money
Run With The Fox
Something’s Coming
Soon


ABILENE
Something's goin' on, I don't know what it is
But my phone just rang and I didn't get no call
No call, just waiting here
Abilene, it's got a lot of what you don't need
It's got lots of space,
Still nothing seems misplaced
You've got a face, you are spacey

You got to take it as it comes to you
Don't need no act of contemplation
Just keep it off your wasteful way for now
It's not you who has got to change
It's not your way at all, it's got to be you

It's got to be you, the look in your eyes
The feel of your body close to me, It's got to be you
Who tells me the world would spin away without love
You, reason, oh, reason for being once more together
It's got to be you

It's got to be you, the look in your eyes
The feel of your body close to me, It's got to be you
Who tells me the world would spin away without love
You, reason, oh, reason for being once more together
It's got to be you
It's got to be you
It's got to be you
It's got to be you

DEAR FATHER
Here are the books of look;
You need them to open the seed
To see what goes on in the world
Here in my mind
Catch the wind and hold on tight
To what we'll find
And hear what goes on in the world
Here is all you see
Everything is made for you from me
If there's anything you'd like to say that could help me in any way
Cause I've been waiting for so long for you to come along
Help me on that day
When you take over all the things heaven has made for you
Is there anything you think you should know
Is there anything before I go?
Dear Father (repeat)
I'm hungry, I'm cold
Feeling terribly old
I don't think I can see
I'm not feeling good like I think I should
They're on their own, needing a face, a place,
Iope and mind, a home
To see what goes on in the world
They're who you need
To show them why they're wrong, oh why indeed
We need to go on in the world
Here is all you see
Everything is made for you from me.
If there's any complication that you'd like to talk over with me about
'Cause I've been waiting for so long for you to come along
We can work it all out
repeat pre-chorus
Dear Father (repeat)
You must be putting me on
'Cause most of their minds are gone
They run on T'understand me
I'm not feeling good like I think I should
Dear Father (repeat)
Can I give it a miss
'Cause I'm not ready for this
I don't think I can see
I'm not feeling good like I think I should
Dear Father (repeat)
Won't you leave me alone
Won't you let me go home
I don't think I could see
Lord, they'd crucify me
I just couldn't do that
'Cause that's not where it's at now


I'M DOWN
You telling lies thinking I can't see
You can't cry ‘cause you're laughing at me
I'm down (I'm really down)
I'm down (Down on the ground)
I'm down (I'm really down)
How can you laugh when you know I'm down
How can you laugh when you know I'm down

Man buys ring woman throws it away
Same old thing happens everyday
I'm down (I'm really down)
I'm down (Down on the ground)
I'm down (I'm really down)
How can you laugh when you know I'm down
How can you laugh when you know I'm down

We're all alone and there's nobody else
You still moan, “Keep your hands to yourself!”
I'm down (I'm really down)
Because I'm down (Down on the ground)
I'm down (I'm really down)
How can you laugh when you know I'm down
How can you laugh when you know I'm down.
Waaaao!

Baby you know I'm down (I'm really down)
I guess I'm down (I'm really down)
I’m upside down (I'm really down)
I’m down (I'm really down)
I’m down down down down down down down down down
Let’s go tell I’m down (I’m really down)
I guess I’m down (I’m really down)
Yes I’m down down down (I’m really down)
I’m really down (Down on the ground)
I’m down down down down down down down down down

LOVE CONQUERS ALL
Love can seem such a mystery
Confusing though it may be
It's the one thing that we all need most
Love can make your world go round
Sometimes it can bring you down
Yet there's no way to avoid the fall

Love conquers all
Love conquers all

Love conquers all

Love will finally bring us all
Together eventually
There's only one road for us all
Releasing our fear of the unknown
Believing in what could be
Now it's time for each of us to answer the call

Love conquers all
Love conquers all

Love conquers all
Love conquers all
Love conquers all

Sometimes love can be so true
Sometimes it's running out on you
No matter how hard you try
You can't avoid the fall
Only love conquers all

We can solve the mystery
Believe in what could be
Now it's time for each of us
To answer the call

Love conquers all
Love conquers all
Love conquers all

Love conquers all
Love conquers all

We can solve the mystery
Together eventually
Love conquers all
We can solve the mystery
Together eventually
Love conquers all

Together, together
Together eventually
Love conquers all

MAKE IT EASY
Why the eagle flies
When the wind blows in his eyes
And he goes nowhere just to feel good
You don't know the reason
Our love is like the seasons
Breaking down and building up again

Why you hold me up
When I feel like falling down
Is the love you have that makes me feel good

Ah, you make it easy, take it slow
Well, I was hurtin' inside and you gave me a second chance
Ah, you take it easy when you let it go
I was hurtin' inside

Time rides all alone
When you're left back on your own
But I know, you're always there to lean on
Look beyond the upper deck
And you'll find my love in check
It's all the love I have, love I give to you

Ah, you make it easy, take it slow
Well, I was hurtin' inside and you gave me a second chance
Ah, you take it easy when you let it go
I was hurtin' inside

Why the eagle flies
When the wind blows in his eyes
And he goes nowhere just to feel good
Time rides all alone
When you're left back on your own
But I know you're always there to lean on
You don't know the reasons
Our love is like the seasons
Breaking down and building up again

Ah, you make it easy, take it slow
Well, I was hurtin' inside and you gave me a second chance
Ah, you take it easy, when you let it go
I was hurtin' inside

Ah, you make it easy, take it slow
Well, I was hurtin' inside and you gave me a second chance
Ah, you take it easy when you let it go
I was hurtin' inside

MONEY
Money high, money low
Money come, money go.
Don’t worry me
Don’t worry me (money don’t buy)

The things that we like, the things that we love
The things that we have, so high above
Don’t bother me (it doesn’t even matter to you)
Don’t bother me (money doesn’t grow on trees)
Just don’t worry!

Now listen!
Suns do shine, moons do glow
Simplicity everyone knows
Don’t hurry me (I’m in the middle of a dream)
Don’t hurry me (It’s not at all the way it seems)
Now!
Money so high, money so low
Money to count, money to go
It won’t be there where I go (where is that you’re going to? )
It won’t be there where I go (where is that you’re going to? )
Just won’t be there
No way!

***

(In the background all along the entire song)
A good evening and welcome to a party satirical broadcast
On behalf of the Labour Party, your Chancellor of the Exchequer, Dennis Healey.

Money comes and money goes.
Taxes are high and incomes low,
But you see they don't worry me,
You see it doesn't worry me at all,
It doesn't worry anybody actually.

For example there's an accountant called David Moss,
He's an absolute fucking disaster,
But he don't worry me.
In fact he worried some people in the Yes group.
And a few others.... not me, you see,
You've all been silly billies,
Complaining about high taxation,
But I can tell you quite categorically,
That taxation has never been a problem for me or
Michael Foot - please stop eating those baked beans!
Try and deal with this immigration problem.
Do please, I can't stand it, you see the nig nogs come and the rock stars go,
Jobs get less and dole queues grow,
They don't worry me.

But let's be fair, you see I am alright,
You're all in really a very difficult situation,
But it don't seem to worry me at all.
Now let's have a close look at the financial situation in the country and the home,
And let's face the facts,
I've been up to the North of England,
I hear all the trouble's meant to be,
And for those who are working, things are easy,
And I'm convinced I'm the man who put the second four letters in the word S***horpe.
You see a very good friend of mine,
Who was once a PM
Well, we'll call him the PM,
He's the Prime Minister, he said,
"Screw anything you can," and I'm trying to do that now with the country.

You see the Tories said "The housewife has never had it so good."
Well I can tell you quite categorically that my wife said she's never had it!
Barbara Castle in fact has tried to look at all inflationary things on the backbench
Well she looked at me, I know!
In fact next week she's going to Bangkok.
Do you feel inflation in your pocket?
I know I do and I'm convinced that Pan's People are at the root of my problem
My main problem these days is that I just can't get a root!
And so ends my party satirical broadcast on behalf of the Labour Party.

Good Evening.

RUN WITH THE FOX
Now the season, now the question
Time to breathe a moment's grace
For the hunter and the hunted
Taking time to break the pace

Are you hopeful? Are you haunted?
By the ghosts of Christmas past?
Face the future undaunted
Step aside or take your chance

Run with the fox into the wind
Onto the dawn of tomorrow
Run with the fox into the wild
Into the wild in the fold
Beware of the rocks and be prepared
Prepare for love comes and goes
Run with the fox

Every year the revolution
One more lost before begun
While we fight our mass confusion
Thus we walk before we run

Run with the fox into the wind
Onto the dawn of tomorrow
Run with the fox into the wild
Into the wild in the cold
Beware of the rocks and be prepared
Prepare for love finally grows

Let us live to tell a story
Here on earth and out in space
Forward on the road to glory
History records the chase

Have yourselves that certain Christmas
Eat, be glad and drink the wine
Leave your sadness by the river
Giving love and given time

Across the ice of frozen lakes, run with the fox
Along the lanes a lover takes, run with the fox
Beneath a moon, a Christmas moon, run with the fox
And sing a tune, a dreamer's tune, run with the fox
Across the bridge of many ways, run with the fox
Onto the place where dreamers bathe, run with the fox
Beneath a moon, a Christmas moon, run with the fox

SOMETHING'S COMING
Could be, who knows?
There's something to any day
I will know right away, soon as it shows
It may come cannonballin' down the sky
Gleam in its eye, bright as a rose
Who knows?

It's only just out of reach
Down the block, on a beach
Under a tree
I got a feeling there's a miracle due
Gonna come true, coming to me

Could it be? Yes it could
Something's coming
Something good, if I can wait
Something's coming
I don't know what it is
But it is gonna be great

With a click, with a shock
Phone will jingle, door will knock
Open the latch
Something's coming
I don't know what it is
But it is gonna be great

Around the corner
Or whistling down the river
Come on, deliver to me, to me

Could be, who knows?
There's something to any day
I will know right away, soon as it shows
It may come cannonballin' down the sky
Gleam in its eye, bright as a rose
Who knows?

It's only just out of reach
Down the block, on a beach
Under a tree
I got a feeling there's a miracle due
Gonna come true, coming to me, to me

To me
Tonight
Could be
Won’t be just any night
Tonight there will be no morning star
Tonight

SOON
Soon, oh soon the light
Pass within and soothe this endless night
And wait here for you
Our reason to be here

Soon, oh soon the time
All we move to gain will reach and calm
Our heart is open
Our reason to be here

Long ago, set into rhyme

Soon, oh soon the light
Ours to shape for all time, ours the right
The sun will lead us
Our reason to be here

Soon, oh soon the light
Ours to shape for all time, ours the right
The sun will lead us
Our reason to be here
