VIRTUAL WORLD

VIRTUAL WORLD


Images projected on a screen
Step into an artificial dream
Programme all the things you want to feel
Make a world where fantasies are real

Stand back and let the future unfurl
We'll all be living in a virtual world
In a virtual world
Ah-ah, in a virtual world

Journey far beyond the atmosphere
Watch the world behind you disappear
Float inside a microscopic cell
Is this dream a heaven or a hell?

Stand back and watch the future unfurl
We'll all be living in a virtual world
In a virtual world
Ah-ah, in a virtual world

In the name of progress science stands
Pushing all the frontiers known to man
When they go too far the frontiers break

And we're left to deal with their mistakes

Stand back and watch the future unfurl
We'll all be living in a virtual world
In a virtual world
Ah-ah, in a virtual world

Images projected on a screen
Step into an artificial dream
Programme all the things you want to feel
Make a world where fantasies are real
In the name of progress science stands
Pushing all the frontiers known to man
When they go too far the frontiers break
And we're left to deal with their mistakes

Stand back and watch the future unfurl
We'll all be living in a virtual world
Stand back and watch the future unfurl
We'll all be living in a virtual world
In a virtual world
Ah-ah, in a virtual world
Ah-ah, (ah-ah) in a virtual world
Ah-ah, in a virtual world

WATCHING FOR SHAPES

WATCHING FOR SHAPES


Influences now are things that are all around me
Changing shape as they move around in an open mind
Coloured in by the images I find
I'm just watching for shapes that grow
I'm just watching for shapes that grow
(watching for shapes that grow)

Like electric sparks they danced by an open mirror
Closing doors never looking round but it's not goodbye
They'll be there till I'm taken out I know
I'm just watching for shapes that grow

I'm just watching for shapes that grow
(watching for shapes that grow)

In my mind there's a space that's full of painted pictures
Things I did that I went through, but can't recall
Now and then there's a flash of the unknown
I'm just watching for shapes that grow
I'm just watching for shapes that grow
(watching for shapes that grow)

(watching for shapes that grow)

WATER ON GLASS

WATER ON GLASS


Cascading down
There's a sound vaporising into vision
It's a sound in my head
That I feel and it shuts me in a prison

Say it won't last
Say it will pass
Always the sound in my brain
Can you hear it

Water on glass running down again
Water on glass that sound
Water on glass running round again
Help me, the sound of running water's
Coming down

Dancing away
Like the lights on a moving coloured river
Sounds in my head seem to run
And again I feel a shiver

Say it won't last
Pray it will pass
Always that sound in my brain
Can you hear it (can you hear it)

Water on glass running down again
Water on glass that sound
Water on glass running round again
Help me, the sound of running water's
Coming down

Water on glass running down again
Water on glass that sound
Water on glass running round again
Help me, the sound of running water's

WENDY SAID

WENDY SAID


Lost in the night, out on the streets
And blown into the wind
She was just heading for trouble
When they got her downstairs

Cut by the lights, strands of her hair
Just tumble from her cheeks
She's just another caucasion in a crime worn day

Inside her heart was breaking
No-one knew what she'd been through
Inside her mind's escaping
To a world that no-one knew

Lost in the night, somebody said go easy on the girl
You'll never get a confession
If you treat her that way
Two pairs of eyes shout at her face and late into the night
They heard a softer whisper saying
"let me go"

Inside her heart was breaking
No-one knew what she'd been through
Inside her mind's escaping
To a world that no-one knew

Wendy sadd has flown away
Wendy found her freedom
No-one else could follow there
Not inside the world of wendy sadd

Somebody shouts, something is wrong and panick hits the room
They said she looked at the ceiling and the lights went out
Clutched in her hand
All they could find was a letter that she'd wrote
It said try and forgive them
For what they've done

Inside her heart was breaking
No-one knew what she'd been through
Inside her mind's escaping
To a world that no-one knew

Wendy sadd has flown away
Wendy found her freedom
No-one else could follow there

WHERE DO YOU GO FROM HERE

WHERE DO YOU GO FROM HERE


Hey, hey don't look so far away boy
Tell me what you're thinking
You say you're scared my love won't stay
Don't get lost in superstition
What does it take
For two hearts to trust enough to stay together
When is it safe
For two friends to turn into lovers forever
Why don't you know
By now you know me so very well
If you're asking then I'll tell
Where do you go from here
Straight to my heart that's where you belong
Where do you go from here
Straight to my heart that's where you belong
Hey, hey nothing could ever change the course of our collision
No fear we're destined to be here it's not even our decision
It's out of our hands
Love is a precious gift that we're given
Love as a plan
So don't try to read the writing in the heavens
You'll understand
The answers in my touch and my kiss
Boy you can be sure of this
Where do you go from here
Straight to my heart that's where you belong
Where do you go from here
Straight to my heart
Forever to be as one
Don't even try to deny the feeling deep in your soul
Cos you know that love will always take control
It's out of your hands
Love as a plan
So don't try to read the writing in the heavens
You'll understand the answers in my touch and my kiss
Boy you can be sure of this

WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE

WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE


A long time ago you promised yourself
They're all gonna know me someday
Well you got what you wanted
But look at you now
You lost something good on the way
So where did it go
Tell me where did it go
But you wouldn't know

Snap your fingers and somebody runs
You don't care how they feel
Just as long as they come
Got your head in the stars
Now you've come this far
Just who do you think you are?

Now everything seems to be going your way
And everyone loves what they see
But you ruin it all with the things that you say
So tell me how does it feel
When you're all alone
How does it feel
You're alone
Nothing is real

Snap your fingers and somebody runs
You don't care how they feel
Just as long as they come
Got your head in the stars
Now you've come this far
Just who do you think you are?
You believe a ridiculous lie
You can't see you've become
All the things you despise
But I know who you are
And you've gone too far
Just who do you think you are?

You can keep all your dreams
But you don't have to lose yourself
Cos one day you're gonna break
When the face in the mirror
Looking back at you's
A stranger that you can't place
Just who do you think you are?

Snap your fingers and somebody runs
You don't care how they feel
Just as long as they come
Got your head in the stars
Now you've come this far
Just who do you think you are?
You believe a ridiculous lie
You can't see you've become
All the things you despise
But I know who you are
And you've gone too far

WHO'S TO BLAME

WHO'S TO BLAME


Just like in a dream
I'm trying to scream
But no-one can hear me when I call
I feel paralysed
Unable to cry
While watching the world around me fall

Heard it on the news today
What are we doing to our world
There's got to be a better way
And we've got to choose it

And while we destroy
Our children will grow
Not missing the things they'll never know
A crime against them
Against you and me
A crime against all humanity

Heard it on the news today
What are we doing to our world
There's got to be a better way
And we've got to choose it

Don't you know that a day will come
To everyone
When they'll ask us to explain
Are we going to say that we weren't to blame
Who else could there be

Just like in a dream
I'm trying to scream
I feel paralysed
Unable to cry
What are we doing

Heard it on the news today
What are we doing to our world
There's got to be a better way
Or we're gonna lose it

WONDERFUL LIFE

WONDERFUL LIFE


Here I go out to sea again
The sunshine fills my hair
And dreams hang in the air

Gulls in the sky and in my blue eyes
You know it feels unfair
There's magic everywhere

Look at me standing
Here on my own again
Up straight in the sunshine
No need to laugh and cry
It's a wonderful wonderful life
No need to laugh and cry
It's a wonderful wonderful life

The sun's in your eyes
The heat is in your hear
They seem to hate you
Because you're there

And I need a friend
Oh I need a friend to make me happy
Not stand here on my own

Look at me standing
Here on my own again
Up straight in the sunshine

No need to laugh and cry
It's a wonderful wonderful life
No need to laugh and cry
It's a wonderful wonderful life

I need a friend
Oh I need a friend
To make me happy
Not so alone

Look at me here
Here on my own again
Up straight in the sunshine

No need to laugh and cry
It's a wonderful wonderful life
No need to laugh and cry
It's a wonderful wonderful life
No need to laugh and cry
It's a wonderful wonderful life
No need to laugh and cry
It's a wonderful wonderful life
Wonderful life
Wonderful

WORDS FELL DOWN

WORDS FELL DOWN


I wake up in the morning, looking for reaction
Then I see your faces, only for fraction
Did you hurt my feelings ? you just nailed me to the wall

Never say you're sorry, never show emotion
Never show a good hand, never give a notion
Don't you feel it's obscene ? do you feel a thing at all ?

Chorus:
'cos you come right back with the same old story
Words fell down
Words fell down
You walk right back to the sound of glory
Words fell down
Words fell down
Oh, oh, oh, it's so helpless
Oh, oh, oh, it's so helpless, it's so helpless

Always a deceiver, never any answers
Living in the shadows, taking any chances
When you get a good line, come and talk in to my face

Chorus

You fight right back with the same reaction
Words fell down
Words fell down
The same old show with the same old caption
Words fell down
Words fell down
Oh, oh, oh, it's so helpless

I couldn't believe what I read when I got your letter.
Said you needed to take some time to work out your life... Yeah.
Well it's easy for you to just go out and do what you want any time youy please.
