level 42 - man
Hey man where you been
you can't run away
from the life you made your own
now that it's gone and left you down and out
you're not so complete
now what do you say
all the answers you propose
nobody chose to hear this time around
hey man you're so vain
you rise up again
to perform to pressure now
no way to treat that precious heart at all
calm down you're too proud
now what do you know
you present some facts to face
but nobody chose to look this time around
head in the clouds
no silver lining
what could be wrong
hey man why so blue
what's come over you
sentimental apathy
ain't gonna buy no sympathy today
wide world wearing thin
wild words deafening
shout about integrity
and then you go and throw your dignity away
we're all the same
we're all to blame
what could be wrong, yeah
hey man you got carried away
carrying on the games that you play
playing is not the way to win
'cos winning can be a way that you lose
and losing is not the way you would choose
given the choice you're trying to change
changing again you're carried away
do you remember the day
so long ago so far behind
that history wrought in the fire
that filled your mind with mad desire
chasing the centuries down
long roads you cut through flesh and field
pulling the past as you run
and it's dragged you to your knees
it's time to pray
it's getting harder to pay
too many people
for the rent
given a number of ways
is there no way you can change
Hey man sing the blues
level 42 - over there
I'm a soldier of fortune
I've come to save the day
there's a country that's needs me
and an enemy to slay
all my friends are in uniform
God is on our side
but I'm leaving my baby back home
as we head for the ocean
our spirits are high
"To battle, to glory, what a lovely way to die!"
looking back at the shoreline
ringing in my ears
are the words of my baby back home
where are you going to so far away
your dreams of glory will soon fade away
we are so young, so much in love
your country needs you but I need you more
so far away
over there
out on the frontline the story has changed
for the glory of battle is the myth on printed page
as my friends fall around me
I wonder when I die
will they carry my body back home
what are you searching for so far away
your dreams of glory will soon fade away
we are so young, so much in love
I'm so afraid I won't see you again
your country needs you but I need you more
so far away
over there
so far away
over there
where are you going to so far away
your dreams of glory will soon fade away
so many lives wasted away
so many die again and again
some people say that the knights are all gone
some people say that the dragons are dead
but the dragon lives on
as the spectre of war
and the killing and slaying goes on as before
will it ever end
oh ... will it ever end
will it ever end .... ?
level 42 - a floating life
in your hands there's a photograph
you look up, she begins to laugh
so cold as she walks away
and you know that it's time to pay
you're caught in a web you spun yourself
face to face with your failure this very day
you call out her name you can't help yourself
but you need love like you need a - kick in the head
you worked hard for the things you own
fancy cars and a country home
gave it all for a glittering prize
to be a face people recognise
on the walls of your home there are works of art
but you stare at the picture - on the floor
the face of a man with an aching heart
it's no fun to be famous anymore
(you said )
this is a sad day
and I would gladly give it all away
in exchange
for a floating life
shed your tears for a shallow dream
let your cry be a primal scream
a song through the mists of time
a serenade to your concubine
you were wrong to believe she could set you free
you're trapped by the trappings - of success
and you know the she'll never let you be
'til the world knows the secrets - you confessed
(you said)
I see her cruel face
my heart is nothing but an empty space
and on this sad day
I would gladly give it all away
in exchange
for a floating life
neither asleep nor awake
losing control you start to shake
as the day begins to break
they're gonna shoot you down in flames
when that girl starts naming names
there's nowhere to hide from your shame
level 42 - a kinder eye
In his widowed years of longing,
in his windowed room of light
he lay the oil upon the canvas,
brought sweet memory to life
his speckled beard a brush of colour,
his spotted hands both grace and speed
I was the boy who came with evening,
to sweep his floors and bring his tea
To the world he was the Master,
his landscapes filled the gallery halls
but now he painted only portraits,
unframed upon his private walls
subjects sitting-walking-laughing
in playful flight or soft refrain
a thousand forms and colours,
but every face the same
Across the page (across the ages)
the moving hand of history bleeds
... for a kinder eye to see us,
not as we are, but as we dream
A winter's night when I arrived there,
he looked so tired and near the end
and as I cleaned his bench and brushes,
I wished out loud to be like him
he said that art was only longing,
trying to do what can't be done
and though he'd signed a thousand paintings,
still he'd never finished one
As I finished up my sweeping,
in his sleep he spoke her name
I looked again at all the portraits,
each and every face the same
not as she was in pain or sorrow,
but in timeless beauty seen
as she served his noble dream
Across the page (across the ages)
the moving hand of history bleeds
... for a kinder eye to see us,
not as we are, but as we dream
level 42 - a pharaoh s dream
Last night I dreamt
that Ra was holding up a mirror
To my heart but all was darkness
so I prayed to all the Gods that I might see
And as they showed me my mortality
the Hidden-one revealed himself
in voice alone and spoke
in condescending tones to me
"You are the Pharoah
you will journey through the after-life
And HE-WHO-LOOKS-BEHIND
will ask the questions you must answer to be free"
Osiris weigh my soul
and let me pass beyond
so I may row the boat of Ra
and be as one with all the Gods that set me free
level 42 - a physical presence
I leave as I enter
another boy caught in-between
now all I can muster
are whispers to your screams
don't you remember
how you eased my disgrace
don't you remember
the love you saw in my face
perfected in silence
a physical presence
perfected in silence
a physical presence
I sought affection
but now I realize
a cold rejection
the movement in your eyes
but I can remember
when you shook against me
I can remember
when I saw what love could be
perfected in silence
a physical presence
perfected in silence
a physical presence
ain't what she did
it's the way that she did it
when I couldn't give
only she could forgive it
ain't what she did
it's the way that she did it
as long as I live
it's for me to re-live it . . .
silence . . .
part of the answer
is that there's really no escape
part of the answer
is that life can have such perfect shape
don't you remember
all the nights you shared in my disgrace
don't you remember
that the love that filled this empty space was . . .
. . . perfected in silence
a physical presence
perfected in silence
a physical presence
level 42 - all around
Your small time view is so oblique
You think your thoughts are so unique
Your squeaky lies are sneaky clean
Cos you won?t say just what you mean
Now, I don?t recognize you
Oh, I don?t recognize you
You bled me dry and left me high
Your dirty heart is by the by
You trash your friends like it?s a game
Then you cry and claim the pain
Now, I don?t recognize you
Oh, I don?t recognize you
Chorus
All around it?s all around
All ready to be found
All ready to take you down
Down, down, down, down
All around it?s all around
All ready to be found
All ready to bring you round
Bring you round now
You break your beats and drop your bombs
Cos everybody else is wrong
You hawk your dove and say your prayers
Like you?re the only one who cares
Don?t like your TVocricy
Your karaokeosophy
Can?t take another minute of what you say
I won?t be the bait today
Now, I don?t recognize you
Oh, I don?t recognize you
Chorus
Hypno trips a psycho blitz
You tried it all but nothing fits
You got a little habit that burns your nose
A bony fido freaky pose
You hide your hat behind a stare
You take the heat out of the air
A solid state electric sigh
What made you so angelized
Well, I don?t recognize you
And I won?t angelize you
And I won?t angelize you
Because I don?t recognize you anymore
level 42 - all i need
I?m moving slowly
Trying to find my own way
It?s a struggle to get there
When I?m feeling this way
Is there someone to call
I can?t seem to think
How can I go on
When I?m on the brink
Pale mornings stale with memories
I pick up my life and it?s empty
I?ve had a lot of luke warm
Faded mutations of love
I?ve gone as far as I can
I need something I am sure of
Subtle as crows
Teach me again
I?ve learned about lonely
And nothing ?bout friends
Pale mornings stale with memories
I feed off the lies that were fed me
I feed off the lies that were fed me
Can?t go on
On and on
How can I go on
I?m calling
All our lives
We will strive
Tell me what it means
The danger lies
In trying to fly
When you?ve no wings
In your eyes
There's a smile
That's all I need
I want something to believe in
I?m tired of feeling this way
I got nowhere left to get to
Nowhere to go anyway
Time moving on
I reach for the past
Will you be there
If I call you at last
Pale mornings stale with memories
I pick up my life and it?s empty
I feed off the lies that were fed me
Chorus
level 42 - all over you
the sap is rising
and there's no disguising
what I feel for you
so mesmerising
got me fantasising
nothing I won't do
parascending, whoa oh
but it's all depending
on your sky so blue
my wings keep stalling
from the sky I'm falling
and it's over - all over you
all over you
let me build a nation
that bears no relation to the one we knew
take inspiration
from my own salvation
'cause it's over - all over you
get on board the gravy train
off the rails if you don't keep me sane
justify the things I do
just believe that it's all over you
all over you
the sap is rising
and there's no disguising
what I feel for you
so mesmerising
got me fantasising
and it's over - all over you
through the heat-haze and the blue
I will shimmer and distort
and become what you always knew
but were never taught in this sad time
take on board the things I say
just be sure that you'll be mine someday
justify the things I do
just believe that it's all over you
all over you
the sap is rising
got me fantasising
so mesmerising
and there's no disguising
that it's over - all over you
level 42 - all she wants
Old men were throwing dice
the night you fell in love
she walked into the light
like an angel from above
but this girls been a block or two
just about time for someone new
what she really means by how d'ya do
is boy im gonna walk all over you
all she wants from you is a good time lover
pretty litle boy for a week or two
gonna break your heart and it wont recover
leaving you all bitter and blue
you gout so much to say but
she just dont wanna hear
shell leave you bills to pay
and you crying in your beer
well its no use thinking its a honeymoon
all your gonna hear from now till noon
just a broken man in a rented room
keep playing that lady's favourite tune
all she wants from you is a good time lover
Gonna go right out and find some other
do the same thing that she did to you
but she needs to know that you'll always love her
like a harem in a desert sea
in her big black book gonna put your number
let your love sink in a sea of dreams
theres a place that she left long ago (goodbye girl)
where a boy used her only for show (goodbye girl)
Came the time for the end of her world
told her thank you but now its goodbye, its goodbye
goodbye girl
Well its no use thinking its a honeymoon
all youre gonna hear from now till noon
just a broken man in a rented room
keep playing that lady's favourite tune
all she wants from you is a good time lover
pretty little boy for a week or two
gonna go right out and find some other
do the same thing that she did to you
but she needs to know that you'll always lover her
like a harem in a desert sea
in her big black book gonna out your number
all she wants
its been goodbye all along - goodbye all along
(repeat to fade)
level 42 - almost there
Watch the paper window - see the stars
News and views to show you who you are
Keep the money moving change the scene
Open up the market with our dreams
Almost there - you and I
Catch the fall - touch the sky
Love a lot - paper view
Now's the time - make your move
Keep the money moving
As long as we are using
Almost without knowing
Getting ego's burning
Freightend they stop turning
See the judge adjourning
Play your part and don't get in their way
Black and White they say you must believe
Now they found a sound that we obey
If you wait to long the tide will turn
Then there'll be some brand new rules to learn
Almost there - you and I
Catch the fall - touch the sky
Love a lot - paper view
Now's the time - make your move
Read a million pages
Every headline ages
Nothing ever changes
There's a time for laughing
Time will soon be passing
Make your mark before you fade away
level 42 - are you hearing
Life is a game where nothing is real
only you, only me
Right from the start we chase an ideal
fooling you, fooling me
Are you hearing what I hear
Are you feeling what I feel
You'r still no. 1 but they're coming up to get you
Young eyes burning bright they can see a better way
You won't sleep tonight but that's the price you pay
Out of the past the words to a song
calling you, calling me
Hope it will last but time pushes on
pullling you, pulling me
Are you hearing what I hear
Are you feeling what I feel
Every dream you had like balloons they burst around you
so you're on the phone trying to conjure up your past
But the damage has been done
We're too far apart and strangers we've become
And I wonder if it's true
Is the world a different place for me and you
Are you hearing what I hear
Are you feeling what I feel
In out hearts we're still the same
But the worlds we chose to live
In may have changed
And the damage has been done we trust no-one
We're too far apart and strangers we've become
level 42 - as years go by
tell me how the years go by
its been a long long time
tell me how your plans fell through
and how you changed your mind
tell me 'bout the hearts you broke
how many have you known
tell me how the years went by
and left you all alone
tell me dear
i want to hear
'bout the lost and wasted years
tell me when now tell me why
tell me how the years go by
Tell me how the years go by
like borrowed dancing shoes
that gather dust beneath your ned
mislaid and seldom used
like a heart that haunts a phone booth
on a corner far from home
tell me how the years went by and left you
all alone
close your eyes
tell me what do you see
its an imperfect world
still we dream perfect dreams
its no big surprise when we're down on our knees
truth isn't always what we will believe.
tell me how the years go by
in seasons at your door
and how the things you left me for
dont matter anymore
tell me how the more we learn
the more we leave unknown
tell me how the years went by and left you
all alone
Alone
close your eyes (X3)
level 42 - at this great distance
Memory
ancient light from a binary star
bends across a receeding tide
a single point of light st this great distance
at this great distance only the eye
pressed against the telescope of dreams
sees two stars
two stars, two white hot lines on a firey white
spinning madly on lines defined
by each others gravity.
and by the time we see
the light of memory
there is no hope
theres no hope
only memory
they danced to songs
played at the speed of light
red shifting
untouchable
at this great distance two stars, two souls
become one single point of light
not hot
not cold
not you
not me
only memory
Chorus
only memory - at this great distance
(repeat to end
level 42 - autumn
I just can't believe it's true
lovers never loved as we two do
take me up one love sweet dream
rising, falling tell me call my name
Paradise is free
it's concied by you love me
and know i'll always be here forever
take what I can give
for a love as given with
all the love that we can live in together
being here is all I feel
passion striveing never seen so real
using all to take a steer
lying still now floating of the near
Paradise is free
it's concied by love love me
and you know i'll always be here forever
take what I can give
for a love as given with
all the love that we can live in together
(interlude)
Paradise is free
it's concied by love love me
and you know i'll always be here forever
take what I can give
for a love as given with
all the love that we can live in together
No more games we've seen if true
playing all now memory used to do
sumers made us gone away
'autumn raining' love you once again
