"So The Story Goes"

"So The Story Goes"


I close my eyes
To the sound of the sky and I see
Birds in the trees in pastures green
Nothing to do
With the time or the place I perceive
The rush of the sea beneath my feet
Such a lovely world
Oh so magical
Precious like a pearl
Wrapped up in a shell
Build your house of stone
On a bed of sand
Time and tide will rise
Washing through your hands
Hear your heart
See the love
Feel the soul lift up
Hear your heart
See the love
Feel the soul lift up
I lift my eyes
To the sound in the sky and I hear it
A voice on the breeze is so serene
Nothing to do
With the time or the place but I feel it
Like dust on the moon beneath my feet
Such a lovely world
Oh so magical
So the story goes
Sing the madrigal
What a lovely world
Waxing lyrical
See the lies unfold
Hear the miracle
Hear your heart
See the love
Feel the soul lift up
Hear your heart
See the love
Feel the soul lift up
So the story goes...
The lies and the miracle unfold
(Precious miracle
Wrapped in a shell
Build your house of stone on the sand
Time and tide will wash through your hands
Feel the soul lift up
Hear your heart
See the love
Feel your soul lift up
I lift my eyes to the sound of the sky and I hear it
A voice on the breeze
So serene)

"Solsbury Hill"
(originally by Peter Gabriel)

"Solsbury Hill"
(originally by Peter Gabriel)



Climbing up on Solsbury Hill
I could see the city light
Wind was blowing, time stood still
Eagle flew out of the night

He was something to observe
Came in close, I heard a voice
Standing stretching every nerve
I had to listen had no choice

I did not believe the information
Just had to trust imagination
My heart was going boom boom, boom
"Son," he said, "Grab your things, I've come to take you home."

To keeping silence I resigned
My friends would think I was a nut
Turning water into wine
Open doors would soon be shut

So I went from day to day
Tho' my life was in a rut
'Till I thought of what I'd say
Which connection I should cut

I was feeling part of the scenery
I walked right out of the machinery
My heart was going boom boom boom
"Hey," he said, "grab your things, I've come to take you home."
Yeah back home

When illusion spin her net
I'm never where I want to be
And liberty she pirouette
When I think that I am free

Watched by empty silhouettes
Who close their eyes, but still can see
No one taught them etiquette
I will show another me

Today I don't need a replacement
I'll tell them what the smile on my face meant
My heart was going boom boom boom
"Hey," I said, "You can keep my things, they've come to take me home."

"Sometimes"

"Sometimes"


It's not the way you lead me
By the hand into the bedroom
It's not the way you throw your clothes
Upon the bathroom floor
Been thinking about you
I just couldn't wait to see
Fling my arms around you
As we fall in ecstasy
Ooh sometimes
The truth is harder
Than the pain inside (Yeah)
Ooh sometimes
It's the broken heart
That decides
It's not the way you caress me
Toy with my affection
It's not my sense of emptiness
You fill with your desire
Climb in bed beside me
We can lock the world outside
Touch me satisfy me
Warm your body next to mine
Ooh sometimes
The truth is harder
Than the pain inside (Yeah)
Ooh sometimes
It's the broken heart
That decides
Ooh sometimes
The truth is harder
Than the pain inside (Yeah)
Ooh sometimes
It's the broken heart
That decides
Ooh sometimes
The truth is harder
Than the pain inside (Yeah)
Ooh sometimes
It's the broken heart
That decides
Ooh sometimes
The truth is harder
Than the pain inside (Yeah)
Ooh sometimes
It's the broken heart
That decides
Ooh sometimes
The truth is harder
Than the pain inside (Yeah)
Ooh sometimes
It's the broken heart
That decides

"Sono Luminus"

"Sono Luminus"


I never thought that I would reach you
Though I've been searching for oh so many years
This place I am seems unfamiliar
But there's a light to break through all my fears
Still, time and time again
I'm looking for the love
The one that can inspire
Lift me higher
High as heaven can be
Sono luminus
Love is here
Where it always will be
Deep inside of us
I'm looking out into the distance
The sound of thunder is rolling in my head
The sky is stretching out before me
Thanks for today, everything is blessed
So here we go again
Searching for the truth
Until the twelfth of never
Lift me higher (Higher)
High as heaven can be
Sono luminus
(Love can move a mountain)
(Yes there's nothing that it can't do)
Love is here
Where it always will be
Deep inside of us
(Love will fill the darkness when you're gone)
Lift me higher (Higher) (Love can move a mountain)
High as heaven can be (Yes there's nothing that it can't do)
Sono luminus
(Love can move a mountain)
(Yes there's nothing that it can't do)
Love is here (Love will fill the darkness when you're gone)
Where it always will be
Deep inside of us
(Love will fill the darkness when you're gone)
Lift me higher (Higher) (Love can move a mountain)
High as heaven can be (Yes there's nothing that it can't do)
Sono luminus (Love will fill the darkness when you're gone)
(Love can move a mountain)
(Yes there's nothing that it can't do)
(Love can move a mountain)

Love is here (Love will fill the darkness when you're gone)
Where it always will be
Sono luminus

(Love will fill the darkness when you're gone)
(Love can move a mountain)
(Yes there's nothing that it can't do)
(Love will fill the darkness when you're gone)
I never thought that I would reach you
Feels like the road's been going on for miles
Don't have to write or even see you
Cause there's a light burning on the inside
Still, time and time again
Looking for the love
The one that can inspire
Lift me higher
High as heaven can be
Our love is super love
Fly robin fly
Wherever you are
Saint or sinner be strong
Sono Luminus
Lift me higher
High as heaven can be
Our love is super love
Burn baby burn
Sono luminus (Where are you) (Where are you)
Sono luminus (Where are you) (Where are you)
(Where)

"SOS"

"SOS"


Where are those happy days, they seem so hard to find
I tried to reach for you, but you had closed your mind
Whatever happened to our love
I wish I understood
It used to be so nice, it used to be so good

So when you're near me, darling can't you hear me
S. O. S.
The love you gave me, nothing else can save me
S. O. S.
When you're gone
How can I even try to go on
When you're gone
Though I try how can I carry on

You seem so far away though you are standing near
You made me feel alive, but something died I fear
I really tried to make it out
I wish I understood
What happened to our love, it used to be so good

So when you're near me, darling can't you hear me
S. O. S.
The love you gave me, nothing else can save me
S. O. S.
When you're gone (When you're gone)
How can I even try to go on?
When you're gone (When you're gone)
Though I try how can I carry on?

So when you're near me, darling can't you hear me
S. O. S.
The love you gave me, nothing else can save me
S. O. S.
When you're gone (When you're gone)
How can I even try to go on?
When you're gone (When you're gone)
Though I try how can I carry on?
When you're gone (When you're gone)
How can I even try to go on?
When you're gone (When you're gone)
Though I try how can I carry on?

"Spiralling"

"Spiralling"


I try hard
To put you out of mind
Every night alone
I'm thinking 'bout you
How can I avoid this
Pain without you
I won't cry
I won't be sorry no more
I know that this is something I'll get over
Maybe I can learn to love another
It's just a matter of time
A matter of time
Just because I lock myself in my room
It doesn't mean that I'm afraid to talk to
Those people I know that might have you seen you
No return
I keep reminding myself
I won't look back
Won't regret a single moment
I gonna mend this heart inside you've broken
It's just a matter of time
A matter of time
It's just a matter of time
A matter of time
Show me the way
They say safety in numbers
I lift up my eyes to the sky
And imagine a crowd
Of hearts that surround me
And give the me courage to die
Were you to weep
And lie at my feet
Then you'd wash all
My troubles away
And imagine the host
Of angels around me
That give me the courage to die

"Star"

"Star"


We go waiting for the stars
To come showering down
From Moscow to Mars
Universe falling down

You got to look real hard
There's a fiery star
Hidden out there somewhere
Not the satellite of love
But a laser
Shooting out its shiny tongue there

God is love, God is war
T.V. preacher tell me more
Lord redeem me am I pure?
Pure as pure as heaven
Sent you money sent you flowers
Could I worship you for hours
In whose hands are we anyway?

Go waiting for the stars
To come showering down
From Moscow to Mars
Universe falling down

You got to look real hard
Is it in your heart?
Yeah it's in there somewhere
The power wrapped in your palm
Show it to me
Hit them with your wrath and thunder

What's your pleasure?
Tell it to me
How did you know?
Show your beauty
In you somewhere, somewhere in me
Pure as pure as heaven
Sent you money sent you flowers
Could I worship you for hours
In whose hands are we anyway? (Hours, hours, hours, hours)
Yee-ha

Rolling along through a rose coloured glow
The city looks pretty in pink
Armageddon is here!

Did you ever have a lover
Leave you for another
And take your love and kisses for granted
Never to discover
War is not the answer
Leave you only disenchanted

God is love, God is pure (God is love God is war God is pure as pure as heaven)
T.V. preacher tell me more
Father help me am I pure?
Pure as pure as heaven
Sent you money sent you flowers (God is love God is war God is pure as pure as heaven)
Could I worship you for hours
In whose hands are we anyway? (Hours, hours, hours, hours)

Go waiting for the stars
To come showering down
From Moscow to Mars
Universe falling down

Waiting for the stars
To come showering down
From Moscow to Mars
Universe falling down

Go waiting for the stars
To come showering down
From Moscow to Mars
Universe falling down

Go waiting for the stars
To come showering down
From Moscow to Mars
Universe falling down

"Stay With Me"

"Stay With Me"


Tempered by greed
Tall buildings breathe
Give a sigh of relief when it's night
Stirring from sleep
We night owls creep
Is there any sign of life under this stone?
Oooh
Star
Chime
Hollow and true
Love
Child
Weep for me
And I will cast your wheels in motion
Walk with me
The inner reaches of emotion
Sheltered by creed
One piled on one
Do you have a little room for one small one
Oooh
Light
Shine
Wild and free
Sun
Rise
Weep for me
And I will set your wheels in motion
Keep with me
And like a roller on the ocean
Stand by me
And I will fill you with devotion
Walk with me
The inner reaches of emotion
(Here we are)
(In the sunshine)
(Everything)
(Is fine)
(Here we are)
(Everything)
(Everything is fine)
Weep for me
The sands of time will fill the ocean
Keep with me
Till rays of sunshine fill the ocean
Walk with me
The inner reaches of emotion
Stand with me
And I will fill you with devotion
Weep for me
The sands of time will fill the ocean
Keep with me
And like a roller on the ocean
Stand by me
And I will fill you with devotion
Walk with me
The inner reaches of emotion
The sands of time will fill the ocean
Keep with me
And rays of sunshine fill the ocean
Walk with me
The inner reaches of emotion

"Stayed A Little Late Tonight"

"Stayed A Little Late Tonight"


I just wanted everything to be perfect
But you would call me slightly OCD
You know that there's a right time
A right place
Everything in order, a logic and a system to everything
Tear it into pieces go and tear it into pieces
There were nights when things you'd do would scare me
Your behaviour somewhat OTT
You know that now I have to question
Why I couldn't leave it well alone
You were going that way while I was going this way
But we'd left that situation
Should've left when you said
You don't live here no more
You're just hanging around
I stayed a little late tonight
I stayed a little late tonight
Well aware that you know
That we've been here before
And you're pulling me down
I stayed a little late tonight
I stayed a little late tonight
I guess it must be something in my make-up
I can be my own worst enemy
This ain't a two-way conversation
Why I couldn't listen long a go?
Thought I could handle your rejection
Stand up on my own but I'm walking on a tightrope
Should've left when you said
You don't live here no more
You're just hanging around
I stayed a little late tonight
I stayed a little late tonight
Well aware that you know
That we've been here before
And you're pulling me down
I stayed a little late tonight
Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight
