"The Golden Days Are Over"

"The Golden Days Are Over"


She locks the bedroom door - lies face down on the bed
Hears voices down the hall - are they real or in her head
Pictures on the wall - reminders every one
Just memories of the past - of a time that's
Been and gone
All those wild and crazy nights - they still
Dance before her eyes
(those crazy nights - her name in lights)

Look at her now the golden days are over
Look at her now no leading man to hold her
She was one in a million now she's that
Forgotten face
Look at her now the golden days are over

Applauded by the press - an overnight success
A favourite with the fans - had them eating
From her hands
But stars fall from the sky - in the twinkle
Of an eye

There's no more silver screen just another
Broken dream
Still she strikes a classic pose - just in case
The cameras roll
(she steals the scene - relieves the dream)

Look at her now the golden days are over
Look at her now no leading man to hold her
She was one in a million now she's that
Forgotten face
Look at her now she needs someone to hold her
To feed her lines - someone to co-star
Someone to shine

Look at her now the golden days are over
(the golden days are over - they're over)
Look at her now no leading man to hold her
(no m.g.m. - no paramount - no 20th century)
Look at her now the golden days are over
(decline and fall - no curtain call)

"The Joy Of Living"

"The Joy Of Living"


A lovely multi-coloured crocodile
Born of man and growing by the mile
To think of the dawns, when a million horns
Will rouse you up in style

Oh, the joy of living, sweeter music they're giving
Than the singing bird you heard before
Oh, the joy of living, sweeter music they're giving
Than the singing bird you heard before

They're pulling down more houses everyday
To give the family car more room to play
And won't it be grand, when the whole of the land
Is one big motor way

Oh, the joy of living, just to know that you're giving
All the air you need to feed the car
Oh, the joy of living, just to know that you're giving
All the air you need to feed your car

Naturally there'll be a place for you
Big blocks of state apartments with a view
I know that you'll love, the life up above
Away from all you ever knew

Oh, the joy of living, in the places, they're giving
To the lucky few will you be one
Oh, the joy of living, in the places, they're giving
To the lucky few will you be one, yeah

Oh, the joy of living, sweeter music they're giving
Than the singing bird you heard before

Our Father who art in heaven,
Hallowed be thy name.
Thy Kingdom come. Thy will be done
On earth as in heaven.
Give us Today our daily bread.

But deliver us from evil.

The power and the glory.

"The Minute You're Gone"

"The Minute You're Gone"


The minute you're gone I cry
The minute you're gone I die
Before you walk out of sight
I'm like a child all alone at night

I stare into emptiness
I'm filled with such loneliness
The world goes from right to wrong
The minute you're gone

The minute you're gone I see
How lonely a man I'll be
My life would be oh so blue
If I couldn't be with you

The minute you're gone I pray
The minute you're gone I say
Please don't stay away too long
The minute you're gone
The minute you're gone

"The Miracle"

"The Miracle"


Oh, love is the key
Love is the answer
Open your heart

Every day we read about destruction
Can't believe we do what we do
Let's take the world in a new direction
Let every step move us closer to that miracle
That's gonna spread the good news

Love is the key that opens up a new way
Love is the answer we've been searching for
Open your heart if you're looking for a miracle

Say they'll be happy when they do
People looking for their ticket to salvation
Every step should bring us closer to that miracle
We're got to spread the good news

Oh, love is the key that opens up a new way
And love is the answer we've been searching for
So open your heart if you're looking for a miracle

The miracle is to be as children, laughing
To see the goodness love brings
'Cause it's love that makes us one, oh

Love is the key

"The Next Time"

"The Next Time"


They say I'll love again someday
A truer love will come my way the next time
But after you there'll never be a next time for me
They say that I'll find happiness
In someone else's warm caress the next time
I'll soon forget your kiss and heartaches such as this
Will just be ancient history.

They say that I'm a fool to weep
That I won't go on losing sleep the next time
And someone else will mend the heart you've broken in two.
(But) How can I fall in love the next time?
When I'm still so very much in love with you.

They say that I'm a fool to weep
That I won't go on losing sleep the next time
And someone else will mend the heart you've broken in two.
(Oh) How can I fall in love the next time?
When I'm still so very much in love with you.

"The Night Is So Lonely"

"The Night Is So Lonely"


At the night is so lonely
And of dream of you only

You were the star in my heavens above
I looked for you and found my own true love
I love you, honest I do
And I’m telling you

The night is so lonely
And of dream of you only

You were the star in my heaven above
I looked for you and found my own true love
I love you, honest that’s true
And I’m telling you

The night is so lonely
And of dream of you only
Only, only

"The Nightmare"

"The Nightmare"


I have a burden of pure vengeance
That I was damned with from my birth
And it will the force that drives me
Until the day I quit this earth

You live by treachery and violence
And they will crush you in return
Your destruction is my pleasure
Your spite the fire in which you burn

I'm the true son of our father
And I am lord of Wuthering Heights
Burn in hell, you filthy gypsy
Share the fate of parasites

I did not love you Isabella
You were the means to other ends
I always knew our ailing offspring
Would never pay me dividends

I used to long for you to kill me
But now I wish you death instead
I gave you all this woman could do
I was raped, abandoned, all feelings dead

Spineless Edgar, feeble Edgar
Catherine wanted only me

I was constant, I was tender
All that you could never be

There's a time for absolution
There's a time for true regret

I knew the envy of a family
Which was so easy to destroy
But oh my Cathy not so easy
To be the one you could enjoy

I cannot rest in peace without you
And you could never comprehend
My cold and angry isolation
I wait for you brother, lover, friend

Death it beckons, sister, lover
All I see is your sweet face

Whether man or whether devil
Still the love I can't replace

There is a time for absolution
There is a time for true regret
There is a time to beg forgiveness
But the time is here not yet

I curse the God or man that made me
I curse the life I had to lead
I curse the years ahead without her
I curse my hunger, I curse my need

"The Only Way Out"

"The Only Way Out"


Came a time in my life
I had to be free
From all the lies
That used to be me
And the only way out is the only way in
And it's you

I've been waisting my time
But not anymore
I've been through the maze
And it lead to your door
And the only way out is the only way in
And it's you
I spent a lot of time at the crossroads
Getting that lonely feeling inside
Suddenly you stopped the rain
And you changed the view
Now every where's leading to you

Let's get this thing going
Let's move it along
Let me do all the things
I've been missing so long
'cos the only way out is the only way in
And it's you

I spent a lot of time at the crossroads
Getting that lonely feeling inside
Suddenly you made the rescue
You Pulled me through
Now let me do something for you
Let's get this thing going
Let's move it along
Let's do all the things
I've been missing so long
And the only way out is the only way in
And it's you

Yeah the only way out is the only way in
And it's you

"The Sleep Of The Good"

"The Sleep Of The Good"


No-one can touch you now - no
No-one can harm you, you're finally free
Your passion all spent
Your savage intent
To break away meant to break me
Oh Cathy - the game you played!
Oh Cathy - you've paid
I've been betrayed
I try to find the words to justify
All that you've put me through
What gave you the right
To leave me?
When you
You knew
I loved you
I pray you find some peace at last
The sleep of the good
If only I could

Only my life remains - cold
This is a winter will never know spring
As time and again
I try to contain
The anger and pain that you bring
Oh Cathy my reckless one!
Oh Cathy it's done
The night's begun
You lie so close, so calm, so motionless
I can almost believe
That you're still in my arms
Within me
So near
To hear
I loved you
I pray I find some peace at last
The sleep of the good
If only I could
