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
