. . .


I held the book so tightly in my hands
I saw your picture, heard you call my name
There was something strange, I could not look away
I wanted to be there, I wanted to go

You gave me no warning, you gave no reason
But I was with you, right by your side
Just give me the strength and I can help you
They can try their hardest, they don't frighten me

It's written in the book

It's hotter than I've known before
But I feel so cold and I don't know why
But if the fire within your heart can beat the storm
Then I really believe you could make it right

The time has come now, we must show our feelings
But I'm looking right through you and your heart is empty
Whatever happened to you, it's too late to change now
There's nowhere you can run to, no place to hide
Ah, you let me down

...but wait a minute, I don't understand
It's getting stronger, so grab my hand
Don't wanna leave you, don't wanna go
But I'm losing all control
Can't you see me, I'm slipping away
I can only stay if you've the will to keep me here

It's written in the book

Oh, so many times since hten I've read those words
Just waiting to see you, can you see me?


. . .


Times were good
She never thought about the future, she just did what she would
Oh, but she really cared
About her music, it all seemed so important then

And she dreamed that everytime that she performed
Everyone would cry for more
That all she had to do was step into the light
And everyone would start to roar

And on the road
Where all but a few fall by the wayside, on the grassier verge
She battled through
Against the others in her world, and the sleep, and the odds

But now everytime that she performed
Everybody cried for more
Soon all she had to do was step into the light
For everyone to start to roar
And all the people cried: "You're the one we've waited for!"

But time went by
It wasn't so easy now, all uphill and not feeling so strong
Yes, times were hard
Too much thinking about the future and what the people might want

And then there was the time that she performed
When NOBODY called for more
And soon everytime she stepped into the light
They really let her know the score

But she dreamed of the times when she sang her songs
And everybody cried for more
When all she had to do was step into the light
For everyone to start to roar
And all the people cried: "You're the one we've waited for!"


. . .


I am the one who guided you this far
All you know and all you feel
Nobody must know my name
For nobody would understand
And you kill what you fear

I call you for I must leave
You're on your own until the end
There was a choice but now it's gone
I said you wouldn't understand
Take what's yours and be damned

. . .

Man Of Our Times

[Нет текста]

. . .


There must be some misunderstanding,
There must be some kind of mistake,
I waited in the rain for hours,
You were late,

Now it's not like me to say the right thing,
But you could've called to let me know,
I checked your number twice...didn't understand it,
So I went home,

Well I'd been waiting for this weekend,
I thought that maybe we could see a show,
Never dreamed I'd have this feeling,
But seeing you is believing,
That's why I don't know why,
You didn't show up that night,

There must be some misunderstanding,
There must be some kind of mistake,
I was waiting in the rain for hours,
You were late,

Since then I've been running around trying to find you,
I went to the places that we always go,
I rang your house but got no answer,
Jumped in my car, I went round there,
I still don't believe it,
He was just leaving,

There must be some misunderstanding,
There must be some kind of mistake,
There must be some misunderstanding,
There must be some kind of mistake,

Misunderstanding,
Misunderstanding,
Misunderstanding,
Misunderstanding,

. . .


no cloud
the sleepy
calm sunbaked earth
thats cooled by gentle breeze
and trees
with rasping leaves
only endless days without a care
nothing must be done
silent as a day can be
far off songs of others
on their chosen run
as they do
all those things they feel give life
some meaning
even if they're dull
it's time to stop this dreaming
must rejoin the real world
as revealed by orange lights
and a smoky atmosphere

the trees and i are shaken by
the same wind but whereas
the trees will lose their withered leaves
and i just can't seem to let them loose
and they come refresh me
those hot winds of the south
oh, i feel liken alien
a stranger
in an alien place
now the light is fading fast
chances slip away
time will come
to pass
then there'll be night
and addicted to a perfume poison
betrayed by its aftertaste
oh, we shall lose their wonder
and find nothing in return
many are the substitutes
but they're powerless on their own

beware the fisherman
who's casting out his line
into a dried-up riverbed
but dont try to tell him
'cause he wont believe you
throw some bread to te ducks instead
it's easier that way
i feel like an alien
a stranger
in an alien place
the trees and i are shaken by
the same wind but whereas
the trees will lose their withered leaves
and i just can't seem to let them loose
and they come refresh me
those hot winds of the south
i feel like an alien
a stranger
in an alien place

All I need is a TV show
That, and the radio
Down on my luck again
Down on my luck again

I can show you,
I can show you
Some of the people in my life
I can show you,
I can show you
Some of the people in my life

It's driving me mad
It's just another way of passing the day

I, I, I,
Get so lonely when she's not there
I, I, I, I-ah-ahh-I

You're just another face,
That I know from the TV show
I have known you for so very long,
You feel just like a friend

Could you do anything for me
Could I touch you for a while
Or maybe on some other day,
And we can fly away

I can show you,
I can show you
Some of the people in my life
I can show you,
I can show you
Some of the people in my life

It's driving me mad
It's just another way of passing the day

I, I , I
Get so lonely when she's not there
I, I, I, I-ah-ahh-I

Turn it on
Turn it on, turn it on again (repeat into fade)
