"Take Me On And On"

"Take Me On And On"


The stars that shine so brightly
They call to me
I dream of how it might be
Somewhere far away

[Chorus:]
Take me on and on
Until the world has gone
Take me on and on

The chains that hold you
Those chains will soon be gone
Sail upon the ocean
Sail back to me

[Chorus]

Take me on, on and on
I see it all below
I know which way to go
I see the afterglow

[Chorus]

"Tears In Your Life"

"Tears In Your Life"



Tears in your life
Nothing but tears in your life
They come to you in the night
Tears in your life

Softly they call
Gathering slowly they fall
You see those tears and they're all
Tears in your life

(tears in your life)
(tears in your life)
(tears in your life)
(tears in your life)

Tears in your life
Nothing but tears in your life
Heartbroken fool's paradise
Tears in your life

Softly they call
Gathering slowly they fall
You see those tears and they're all
Tears in your life

"Telephone Line"

"Telephone Line"


Hello--how are you
Have you been alright, through all those lonely nights,
That's what I'd say, I'd tell you everything,
If you'd pick up that telephone.

Hey--how you feelin'
Are you still the same
Don't you realize the things we did were all for real not a dream,
I just can't believe
They've all faded out of view.

I look into the sky
(The love you need ain't gonna see you through.)
And I wonder why
(The little things are finally coming true.)

[CHORUS]
Telephone line, give me some time, I'm living in twilight
Telephone line, give me some time, I'm living in twilight

O.K. so no--one's answering,
Well can't you just let it ring a little longer
I'll just sit tight, through the shadows of the night
Let it ring for evermore.

[CHORUS -- repeat]

"The Battle Of Marston Moor"

"The Battle Of Marston Moor"



My Lord King,
You stoop to betray your own people,
And even in the eyes of God,
Do you not relent?
I am therefore bound by no other course
I shall raise an army;
Together we will march against you and your kind,
And every born man will fight to regain his own freedom,
And cleanse his wretched soul.

"The Bouncer"

"The Bouncer"



Do you remember, you said to me
That you would wait, wait for me eternally
I've been wondering, and I've been hoping your still the same, only you can say
I'll be so glad to be back with you
I'll do anything you want me to

That's what I want, I'll be so happy, back home

I see your light, shine in my window
And I know you coming home
And as the light grows, grows ever brighter
I see your face, you are alone
And when I tell you all the things I have seen
You'll say that darling you must have been dreaming

That's what I want, I'll be so happy, back home

Electric visions have crossed, strange decisions have crossed
I felt the stars above me, I have someone to love me
That's what I want, I'll be so happy, back home

Believe me baby when I say, I wish I never, never, never, never, never be away
For the things that I see, Be meant for the eyes of a time
And when we walk alone together
That's how I want it to be, want it to be forever

That's what I want, I'll be so happy
That's what I want, I'll be so happy
That's what I want, I'd be so happy, back home

"The Diary Of Horace Wimp"

"The Diary Of Horace Wimp"


Monday:Late again,today,he'd be in trouble though
he'd say he was sorry,he'd have to hurry out the bus.

Tuesday:Horace was so sad,he'd never had a girl that he
could care for,and if he was late once more,he'd be out.

[CHORUS]
Don't be afraid,just knock on the door,
Well he just stood there mumblin' and fumblin'.
Then a voice from above said--
"Horace Wimp,this is your life,
Go out and find yourself a wife.
Make a stand and be a man,
And you will have a great life plan."

Wednesday:Horace met a girl,she was small and she
was very pretty,he thought he was in love,he was afraid.

Thursday:Asks her for a date,the cafe down the street
tomorrow evening,his head was reeling,
when she said "Yes O.K."

[Repeat Chorus]

Friday:Horace,this is it,he asks the girl if maybe they
could marry,when she says "gladly." Horace cries.

Sunday:Everybody's at the church,when Horace
rushes in and says "Now here come my wife,
for the rest of my life." and she did.

[Repeat Chorus]

"The Fall"

"The Fall"


I see the early glow, I hear you say hello
I watch the shadows fall, I don't see you at all

It's a lie (I don't believe it's so), it's a lie

I see the autumn rain, falling on my window pane
I hear you say goodbye, I see a tear in your eye

[Chorus:]
It's a lie (I don't believe it's so), it's a lie
Our love couldn't go wrong, how could I know I was only dreaming
And now, now that you're gone, I will go on really believing
I take the fall

I see you slip away, into another day
There's no-one else around, I watch the sun go down

[chorus]

[Instrumental break]

I take the fall

I see you in a dream, you turn and start to go
I call to you once more, guess that I'm takin' the fall

[chorus]

Our love couldn't go wrong, how could I know I was only dreaming
And now, now that you're gone, I will go on really believing
I take the fall

"The Lights Go Down"

"The Lights Go Down"


(The lights go down...)

One day
I gotta get out of here
I gotta make everything clear
I gotta see you, oh, oh.

I know
The way that I feel is wrong, so wrong
But I gotta carry on
When you ain't around.

[CHORUS:]
I believe things are going wrong
And the night goes on and on
All your dreams have flown away
And the sun won't shine today.
The lights go down (I want you, baby)
The lights go down (I need you, baby)
The lights go down
And there's no one around.

I know
You're waiting so close to me
But how will you ever see
As time rolls away?

Lonely
But trying to be so proud
And just as I turn around
The lights go down.

[REPEAT CHORUS]

The lights go down (I want you, baby)
The lights go down (I need you, baby)
The lights go down
And there's no one around...

"The Sun Will Shine On You"

"The Sun Will Shine On You"



You got to learn
How to cry
Before you learn
How to fall
You got to turn
From the darkness
And go through it all

Just remember
That it’s alright
It’s alright to be true
And the sun will shine
On you

You got to try
To remember
The promises you made
You got to hold on
To yourself
And never be afraid

Foolish notions
Try to get you
No matter what you do
But the sun will shine
On you
Yeah, the sun will shine on you

Anything you want
You can have for your own
It was always there for you
If only you’d have known

Try to find it
Try to love it
Try to see it through
And the sun will shine
On you
Oh yeah
The sun will shine on you

The sun will shine on you
Oh yeah
The sun will shine on you

"The Way Life's Meant To Be"

"The Way Life's Meant To Be"



Well, I came a long way to be here today
And I left you so long on this avenue
And here I stand in the strangest land
Not knowing what to say or do
As I gaze around at these strangers in town
I guess the only stranger is me
And I wonder (yes, I wonder)
Yes, I wonder (oh, I wonder)
Is this the way life's meant to be?

Although it's only a day since I was taken away
And left standing here looking in wonder
(It's your life, it's your life)
Ah, the ground at my feet, maybe it's just the old street
But everything that I know lies under
(It's your life, it's your life)
And when I see what they've done
To this place that was home
Shame is all that I feel
Oh, and I wonder (oh, I wonder)
Yes, I wonder (wonder, wonder, wonder, wonder)
Is this the way life's meant to be?

Too late, too late to cry
The people say
Too late for you, too late for me
You've come so far, now you know everything my friend
Look and see the wonders of our world...

And I wonder (oh, I wonder)
Yes, I wonder (yes, I wonder)
Is this the way life's meant to be?

As I wander around this wreck of a town
Where people never speak aloud
With its ivory towers and its plastic flowers
I wish I was back in 1981
Just to see your face instead of this place
Now I know what you mean to me
And I wonder (oh, I wonder)
Yes, I wonder (yes, I wonder)
Is this the way life's meant to be?

And I wonder (oh, I wonder)
Yes, I wonder, wonder, wonder, wonder
Is this the way life's meant to be?
Ooohh, I wonder
Oh, I wonder, wonder, wonder
Is this the way life's meant to be?
Oh, is this the way life's meant to be?
Mmmmm, is this the way life's meant to be?
I wanna know now
Is this the way life's meant to be?
