Dear Mr Stranger please
Won't you come talk to me
I'll only keep you for awhile
I'd like to know what you
Hope your life holds for you
What in the future makes you smile?
Someday maybe when we're old and grey
It's a certainty, not discourtesy
What kind of times do you think we'll see?
I've a prophecy, Misanthropocene
Life is an endless stream
Of moments to move between
What's coming up is soon behind
Pictures in magazines
Shows on your TV screen
Will only distract you for a time
One day as we start to fade away
Inadvertently, an absurdity
Who knows what goes and remains to be
And all I foresee, is Misanthropocene
In days to come
We'll look back
On times when all the world was young
How did we let it get this way?
I wish and hope we're not
Frogs in the boiling pot
noticing nothing going on
I'd like to help you to
See what's around you
Open your eyes before it's gone
Someday maybe when we're be old an grey
An emergency, no fraternity
What kind of times do you think we'll see
I've a prophecy, Misanthropocene
In days to come
We'll look back
On times when all the world was young
How did we let it get this way?
Dear Mr Stranger please
Won't you come talk to me
I'll only keep you for awhile
I'd like to know what you
Hope your life holds for you
What in the future makes you smile?

Poor Timing
03:16
|
|||
|
I was born and I found myself 'round here
I've no idea what it's about
I see people act so self-assured
As if they have it all worked out
They expect you to go forwards
But don't tell you what it means
That it's all just a matter of poor timing
And a couple of lifetimes in between
I've never believed in luck or fortune
I've never believed in chance or fate
Every opportunity goes by
A little too early or too late
When you get so tired of wasting
Your life in your daydreams
And we're all just a matter of poor timing
And a couple of lifetimes in between
Do you keep on the road you've taken
If you don't know where it leads? (yes)
Yes we're all just a matter of poor timing
And a couple of lifetimes in between
Too many plans all come to nothing
Too many dreams come run aground
And it's a shame for all we know
We only get one time around

I Must be Wrong
03:24
|
|||
|
Through that open doorway thought I saw you standing there
Oh tall and fair
When I looked that way again I found to my despair
In my time, in my time
Once I was much older soon I found it out some way
Oh what can I say
But if you do I'll wait here too for you to look my way
But in my mind, I know that...
I, oh I must be wrong
Yes I must be wrong
When I think of what you said
Well it makes me wish I was someone else instead
I asked you once I asked you twice now won't you answer me
Oh courteously
Now everything seems upside down and makes no sense to me
But in my mind, I know that...
I, oh I must be wrong
Yes and how can I go on
As you fill up my head
Makes me wish I was someone else instead
I, oh I must be wrong
Yes I must be wrong
When I think of what you said
Well it makes me wish I was someone else instead

Mary won't you please come back
I never meant to lose you
If you do I promise that
I always will be true to you
Don't you understand by now
What does it take to prove to you
You should know that I'm devout
And I shall always choose you
Cos how you call my name
Makes me want to know that things won't ever have to change
Mary I saw you last night
With another one beside you
I hope I've not got this right
Oh I don't like being lied to
But how you call my name
Makes me want to know that things won't ever have to change
Cos how you call my name
Makes me want to know that things won't ever have to change
Mary won't you dry your eyes
I'm sorry to have doubted you
It took too long to realise
How could I be without you
Cos how you call my name
Well it makes me want to know that things won't ever have to change

Mountain Range
01:36
|
|||
|
Up on that mountain range
I waited there four days for you
Ooh ooh
Down on that railway track
I watched it rolling back in two
It's true ooh
Up on that mountain range
I waited there four days for you
Ooh ooh

If you'd Like to Know
03:13
|
|||
|
And if you'd like to know
How it made me feel to see you go
And if I was tell you
But I can't explain it now
And if you'd like to see
What it left me like to watch you leave
Cos if you were to ask me
But I can't escape it now
Don't you know the thought that I...
Can't escape the feelings that remind me I do ooh
Sail across the sea
Wash up on a better place to be
And if you were to come with me
Oh but can't you hear me now
So if you'd like to know
Just what made you finally let me go
And if you were to tell me
But I just can't face it now
Don't you know the thought that I...
Can't escape the feelings that remind me I do ooh

I'd Like to Leave
01:51
|
|||
|
I'd like to leave this place
Go far away to a place that's safe
Where people won't recognise my face
And walk on by at a different pace yes
I'd like to sail away
And maybe come back some other day
When people won't get on my case
And let me drop out of the race now
I'd like to leave this place
Go far away to a place that's safe
Where people won't recognise my face
And walk on by at a different pace yes

Time to Unwind
02:28
|
|||
|
I'd like to get away for awhile
Travel around, travel in style
Bid farewell to my grey daily trails
With a few hundred miles
I'd like to catch the train to somewhere
Utrecht or Prague, I don't really care
I'll pay any price for my fare
If you'll take me there
I think of all the life passing by
So close while I'm stuck inside
I need to get away for a time
Some time to unwind
Everyday same places and times
Any more and I'll lose my mind
I need a change of scenery please
Make me light as the breeze
All I need's one weekend
I'll be back to normal once more
Yeah
|

Nothing More to See
03:07
|
|||
|
Spent the day in bed
Emptying my head of all of you
But I can't escape the feeling
I should have something I need to do
But I've waited for too long
For you to sing the song back to me, ooh
There's nothing more to say
Nothing more to see
Waste the day away
At least I have no other place to be
But I just can't shake the feeling
That my ceilings staring back at me
And I've seen it in your smile
When I spent awhile in your company, ooh
There's nothing more to say
Nothing more to see
Cos I've waited for too long
For you to sing the song back to me
There's nothing more to say
Nothing more to see
If there's nothing more to say
Nothing more to see

You Don't have to be
02:58
|
|||
|
Don't let your love bring you down
If it's the first you have found
If you keep searching around
You might find something out
And if it's not your desire
To hold your feet to the fire
You don't have to feel so lonely, if you don't want to be
It's of no use at all
And if you think about him only, but you don't want to be
Why not give me a call?
Don't get yourself insecure
It's not a question of more
Why stay where you've been before?
There's so much there to explore
And maybe you ought to find out
Before you run out of time now
That you don't have to feel so lonely, if you don't want to be
It's of no use at all
And if you think about him only, but you don't want to be
Why not give me a call?
You don't have to feel so lonely, if you don't want to be
It's of no use at all
And if you think about him only, but you don't want to be
Why not give me a call?
|
||||
11. |
||||
|
Please try hard to remember
What it is you came here for
How long until you find out
That you've been here before
And with just five more minutes to midnight
Before you're gonna come undone
But must we still fight for a minute
Try to get a hit of that love
Just take a second to think of
Every place that you came from
After so many cycles now
How can it be wrong
Now we've just two more minute to midnight
Before we're gonna come unstuck
But if we can hope for a minute
Try to get a bit of that love
Oh don't you know that you've been here before
And don't you know that you need a bit more
Nobody knows her the way she does
Won't someone show her, what she's worthy of
One more minute to midnight
Going round one time more
How many times have you realised
That you've known this before
Give me just one last thing to remember
Before we're gonna come undone
Can you just halt for a minute
Try to stop the slip of that love
Oh don't you know that you've been here before
And don't you know that you need a bit more

What Kind of Magic?
02:16
|
|||
|
Now that you've found what you lost, what you want, what you need
(Need)
Show me you know who you are, who you were, who you'll be
(Be)
Now that I've found her there can be no blunder
What kind of magic has she got me under?
I feel my whole world's been torn asunder
I can't resist the spell that's coming from her
I never knew what it meant until you let me see
(See)
And now I feel I'm between what is real and a dream
(Dream)
Now that I've found her there can be no blunder
What kind of magic has she got me under?
I feel my whole world's been torn asunder
I can't resist the spell that's coming from her
So now we know, make it show, let it grow, let it bloom
(Bloom)
Maybe in time we can try making one of what is two
(Two)

Living in the Open Air
01:42
|
|||
|
When you're young and life seems endless
Each new day goes rolling by
Making plans up for the future
Rarely ever crossed my mind
What will we do when nights get colder
So many pills to take, too many bills to pay
Who knows, we could stay together
Find new ways to pass the time
We could have a house and garden
Somewhere near the county side
How we will cope as years go faster
So little time and yet so many things to do
We can save for rainy days and
Never need to have a care
Spend our lives in peace and quiet
Living in the open air

In our Photo Album

Pictures of you
Pictures of me
There on the page
Our memories
Places and scenes
Forgotten dreams
In our photo album
How the time flew
People we knew
Family and friends
Days without end
Now we're spread
Living and dead
In our photo album
Happier days
Old holidays
People who've gone
Separate ways
All we have done
When we were young
In our photo album
Take a look inside and see the people
Be reminded of the past
Many things that came and went so fast will
Live on in the photographs

Caught in the Million
03:26
|
|||
|
I'm not one to argue
I don't really care
But I'm sure I can find you
If I'm searching somewhere
I don't cast aspersions
On the place you have found
Don't get caught in the millions
Swept up with the crowd
Don't try and fake it lady
Show me it's real
I'm not one to worry
I won't take the bait
You get so lost in a moment
That you can't escape
Don't try and fake it lady
Show me it's real
Cos I have to know
Cos I have to know
Cos I have to know
Cos I have to know
Stewing is stewing
Brew is brewing
Fire away far away my love
Overflowing
Flower's growing
Here today, gone away my love
...

Old Enough to Know
02:28

Angelina, I hope you know, you reap what you sow
Glad to hear you, are still doing alright, after all this time
Cos since you've gone away from here
No one wants to know
But I could wait a thousand years
You're old enough to know
Angelina, you know you're wrong, you've been alone too long
Angelina, and I come to find, you leave me far behind
And when you've covered all answers
Before you bow out of the show
Just give me one of your glances
You're old enough to know
Angelina, oh don't you know, you reap what you sow
Angelina, still I wonder why, you never say goodbye
Cos since you've gone away from here
No one wants to know, oh no
But I could wait a million years
You're old enough to know, oh oh oh
You're old enough to know

It's Easy to Wonder
02:06
|
|||
|
It's easy to wonder
It's easy to see
Nothing you could tell me
Could mortify me
I feel I'm losing control
So much for the turning
If you know what I mean
If it's there for the taking
My conscious is clean
Do you think we're losing control?
It's easy to wonder
It's easy to dream
If it's there for the taking
My conscious is clean
We never were in control

Mr. Mindbender

So you've seen your life
Flashing in front of your eyes
And I hoped that it would be
A taste of reality
You've known it all of the time
You keep it locked in your mind
If you go looking inside
You might not like what you find
Hey Mister Mindbender
Won't you stay awhile and have a drink with me
You know possessions are fleeting
And your impression's retreating
Take my advice or ignore
I'm sure you've heard it before
A stretch beneath and you're freed
It's all that you'll ever need
If you go reaching below
There's something that you should know
Hey Mister Mindbender
Won't you stay awhile and have a drink with me
Hey Mister Mindbender
Won't you stay awhile and have a drink with me

We All Fall Down
04:34
|
|||
|
So you want to escape
You've searched for your place
And you can't seem to find
Flash thoughts make their intrusion
All lost in the confusion
And away, away they slide
We all fall down, we all fall down
When you feel your mind breaking
And you can't seem to stop the shaking
There's an ache in your eyes
Your heart beats are exploding
And the whole room keeps revolving
And you've no sense of time
We all fall down, we all fall down
Though you wanna scream and shout loud
Something gets you traps you stops you from crying out
And all you can think about now is how
Long till it wares off and can you get out
Each noise keeps on resounding
And your brain won't stop pounding
As your wires all get fried
When you feel like you're being smothered
And you just want to run for cover
But there's no place to hide
We all fall down, we all fall down
All you can think about now is how
Long till it wares off and can you get out
Though you wanna scream and shout loud
Something gets you traps you stops you from crying out
So you want to escape / Your hearts beats are exploding
You've searched for your place / And the whole room keeps revolving
And you can't seem to find / And you've no sense of time
When you feel your mind breaking / Each noise keeps on resounding
And you can't seem to stop the shaking / And your brain won't stop pounding
There's an ache in your eyes / As your wires all get fried
We all fall down, we all fall down
We all fall down
We all fall down
We all fall down
We all fall down
We all fall down
We all fall down
We all fall down
We all fall down
We all fall down
We all fall down
We all fall down
We all fall down
We all fall down
We all fall down
We all fall down
We all fall down
We all fall down
We all fall down
We all fall down
We all fall down
We all fall down
We all fall down
We all fall down
We all fall down

See them Flying
04:13

Have you seen those space ships landing?
(If I can see them so can you)
In the garden so entrancing
(In the garden we walk through)
So many questions I have for them
(Many things for us to do)
Can you hear them calling for us
(If I can hear them you can too)
Here they come on the horizon
Blinding lights up in the sky
Through the trees you fix your eyes and
See them flying
See them flying
See them flying
Keep on looking out your window
(Don't blink now they're coming soon)
Watch the sky and wait in limbo
(See the ship come into view)
Who knows what they're like or planning
(Who knows what they're going through)
Maybe they will take us with them
(Through the sky we'll know we flew)
I don't know where they might come from
Many trillion miles from here
They mean no harm, no need to run
See them flying
See them flying
See them flying
Watch them come from the horizon
Blinking lights up in the sky
At the moon you fix your eyes and
See them flying
See them flying
See them flying

Natural High Butterfly
02:25

|
It's over-easy and it's out of control
I'm over-reaching but she won't let me go
And I can't leave until she tells me so, oh no
It's nice to see her coming out of her shell
I think that maybe I might come out as well
It's getting late but it's too soon to tell, oh well
She's my natural high butterfly, don't let me go
Dive deep spin and leap put on a show
Oh where she takes me I still don't know, oh no
Well it's all quite natural
I know for sure I've really had it this time
This butterfly is really one of a kind
Why must it always be so hard to find, oh my
She's my natural high butterfly, don't let me go
Dive deep spin and leap put on a show
Oh where she takes me I still don't know, oh no
Well it's all quite natural aah!
She's my natural high butterfly, don't let me go
Dive deep spin and leap put on a show
Oh where she takes me I still don't know, oh no
Well it's all quite natural aah!

Oh Rosaleen
Who paints the moon with sorrow
Maybe this time tomorrow night
Can it be
I don't believe in chance and
I can't believe it's only Monday
I'll tell you someday
I really love you Rosaleen
Oh Rosaleen
Who breaks the veil of sadness
To chase the tail of madness
Ah
Can it be
So much revealed in glances
I can't believe it's only Monday
I'll tell you someday
I really love you Rosaleen
Oh tell me where is she
I really can't stand the suspense any longer
Oh Rosaleen
Who paints the moon with sorrow
Maybe this time tomorrow night
Don't be uptight
I really love you Rosaleen
Oh tell me where is she
I really can't stand the suspense any longer

One man's iron is another man's gold
One man's hike is another man's stroll
Though it'd be easier if they'd share the load
One man's half is another man's whole
One man's future's another man's past
One man's feast is another man's fast
They never see till they shatter like glass
One man's first is another man's last
One man's loss is another man's gain
One man's pleasure's another man's pain
They'll never learn so they'll do it again
One man's rest is another man's strain

To Feel Life

Now it's time to show
What you think you know
Cos every place you go oh
Now it's time to stop
Turning back the clocks
Doors that you had locked
Soon to be unlocked
Faces that you've seen
Places that you've been
Wonder what it means
Now it's time you heard
What you need to learn
Take a different turn
Ahh
To feel love to feel life
Is all it takes to be here now
With you being here now
Oh my love

I doesn't really matter much whichever way I roam
I know that any road will take me where I need to go
Take me home, home, home
Through any kind of weather, all through hail and rain and snow
I follow where my feet will take me cos they seem to know
Take me home, home, home
Take me home, home, home, home, home, home, home, home, home
Take me home

Play us that old swinging music
Something to make us smile
We could dance all night to tunes with
That good old ragtime style
There's no use in stressing so
It never gets you anywhere
Once your troubles meet the music
They melt into air
Play us that old swinging music
In that old ragtime style
There's something that can't be beat
After all these many years
Nothing makes you move your feet
As soon as you hear
Like that good old swinging music
It always makes us smile
Dance the night away to tunes with
That good old ragtime style
You always feel you've heard it before
They don't write them like that any more
Ah ha ha ha...

How many times must I try and still I get nowhere
I've given it all I've got but still it's not enough
It's a pity but it's true
I know without a doubt
There's nothing more that I can do – ooh
I've managed to get this far but where to go from here?
Oh you can't give up now
Though set-backs knock you down
If you keep trying you'll come through - ooh
