Getting Late
05:00
|
|||
Sitting in the window watching the traffic rolling by
Keeps on rolling by
And as I sit and stare, my thoughts stray to you
Just like they always do
Does he do it cause it's funny, does he do it cause it's right
See in the end it's only wasted light
Does he find it hard to tell you, does he find it in himself
Say in the end well you'll be sitting on a fence
I might be the reason, let me be the rhyme
Just sing along now honey in your own sense of time
I find it hard to tell you I find it hard to take
Look around now
It's getting late
Truly I believe that there is more to say
But I find words get in the way
Now truly babe I think that you're too blind to see
Maybe that's just me
Does he do it cause it's funny, does he do it cause it's right
See in the end it's only wasted light
Does he find it hard to tell you, does he find it in himself
Say in the end well you'll be sitting on a fence
Now I might be the reason, let me be the rhyme
Just sing along now honey in your own sense of time
I find it hard to tell you I find it hard to take
Look around now
It's getting late
(solos)
Does he do it cause it's funny, does he do it cause it's right
See in the end it's only wasted light
Does he find it hard to tell you, does he find it in himself
To say in the end well you'll be sitting on a fence
Now I might be the reason, let me be the rhyme
Just sing along now honey in your own sense of time
I find it hard to tell you I find it hard to take
Look around now
It's getting late
Oh baby
Oh here we go now I say

The Viper
05:34
|
|||
In the desert of the south lands
Where the mountains touch the sky
All hell well it surrounds us
We're only mortals born to die
Can't you see her with your eyes now
Can't you see her with your mind
Oh the viper she rules all
And she spoils all that is divine
And the viper she calls
The viper she hisses and holds her breath
Vengeance is second best
Poison is all that she holds true
And it's all she'll give to you
All have seen the viper
All have glimpsed her emerald eyes
And many think that they have mastered her
But they believe in only lies
See for the viper she is no fool
Oh no she plays now with the mind
Don't you fall for her cheap tricks
You know she turns good men blind
And the viper she calls
Anger, hatred, lust and jealousy
They mean so much to me
No don't you believe her lies
She's the devil in disguise
The viper she calls
Oh no but don't you hear the sound
She'll send you to the ground

Juliet
03:37
|
|||
Oh how you love one another
Sad you must kiss under cover
Twisting spirals of every colour
Lock and link on one another
Two lovers meet as Juliet and Juliet
And there's no balcony or Romeo around
But baby darling oh now lift your feet off from the ground
And fly around my babe cause you're free
Or so you seem to me
Kicked out of house and home
For feelings beyond your control
Oh what a sick sad society we still live in
Has the power to turn one 'gainst ones kin
Two lovers meet as Juliet and Juliet
And there's no balcony or Romeo around
But baby darling oh now lift your feet off from the ground
And fly around my babe cause you're free
Or so you seem to me

Searching
03:05
|
|||
Everybody's looking for just what they cannot find
See the thing is that they've held it, all this time
So don't you go a looking for what you already own
Else you just might find yourself, said you just might find
That you're running over my place wearing that same old lying face
You can't check it, I can see it good
Wondering where you gonna go
On that pretty white river you'll row
Dreaming of the city when you're drowning in the mud
And you can have it all
If you only crawl
But if you take your time
Well they'll cut you down
Oh believe me when I say they're gonna get you down
Look at all the lonely people
Searching for today
Look at them all a looking
Looking their lives away
So don't you go a looking for what you already own
Or you might just find yourself, said you just might find
That you're running over my place wearing that same old lying face
You can't check it, I can see it good
Wondering where you gonna go
On that pretty white river you'll row
Dreaming of the city when you're drowning in the mud
And you can have it all
If you only crawl
But if you stand your ground
Well they'll cut you down
Oh believe me when I say they're gonna get you down
So you better offer up
Offer up some resistance

Viking
05:00
|

Said we come from a land of ice
Where the seas they blow and moan
And we will come across the seas
To take... All that we will own
Rumours of a new land
With bold cities of gold
On and on and on we sail
To where those winds blow cold
Forward unto dawn
And our eyes might yet see morn
Onward now we sail
To where the west wind wails
We parted on the land
On that isle of salt and sand
Now here amongst the blue
My love how I dream of you
Banished from our homelands
For crimes against the creed
We dream of all the wealth we'll gain
Driven only by our greed
Oceans we will cross
The silver isle is lost
On and on we only go
Success whatever the cost
Forward unto dawn
And our eyes might yet see morn
A silver splits the blue
My love how I dream of you
(Hey)
Said we come from a land of ice
Where the seas they blow and moan
And we will come across the seas
To take... All that we will own
And how I wish
We could sail on home
Oh how I wish we could sail on home

I Don't Really Know You
03:06
|
|||
Tell me what I'm doing here
Cause I don't really know
They just gave me this guitar
And told me to get ready for the show
And I don't really know you
Heaven knows I'd like to
I'm just here to satisfy my soul
Am I so wrong?
So tell me what you're doing here
Not exactly your scene
So forgive me baby yeah
If I don't ask you where you've been
And I don't really know you
Heaven knows I'd like to
But I'm just here to satisfy my soul
Am I so wrong?
And I don't really know you
Heaven knows I'd like to
But I'm just here to satisfy my soul
Am I so wrong?
And I don't really know you
Heaven knows I'd like to
But I'm just here to satisfy my soul
Am I so wrong?

Livin' On Mars
05:20
|
|||
So won't you tell me what it's like up there
Oh with your head stuck way up in the air
You've got all these plans of things you never gonna do
And I think it's time somebody they told you
Well there's just one problem
Well of how you gonna hear
When you're up there
And I'm only down here
I don't think that you really realise
Oh no but baby
It's as clear as the day there in your eyes
Cause you're livin' on mars
Or else you're way up in them fancy little stars
Said you're livin' on mars
Don't get me wrong though
It's not that you have dreams
No it's more that you're livin' in them
And the sirens well they don't scream
Oh you just keep carrying on
Through all those lies
Blaming everybody else for all of the goodbyes
And I'm so sorry
See it's only what you do
And right now i'm the only hand
That's out to help you
But don't you hear
In the words I say
Oh no cause baby
You ain't with the livin' on earth
I said oh no no no not today
No you're livin' on mars
Or else you're way up in them fancy little stars
Said you're livin. on mars
You don't hear the words I say
My baby darling no
So now at last I said you finally realise
That everything you've done well it's been only a pack of lies
Oh yes here at last I said you finally see
What it truly was that you really meant to me
Oh don't you go a making
Yourself mad
No it's only you really knows
What it was that you had
And don't you worry
There's so very many more like you
You see what's worse
Is that so many of them mean it too
Oh yeah they do
I said
I said you've livin' on mars
Else you're way up in them fancy little stars
I said you're livin' on mars
I said oh you must be livin' on
Oh you must be a livin' on
I said
B-b-b-b-b-baby!!!!!!!!
You must be a livin' on mars!
