"Echoes Round The Sun"

"Echoes Round The Sun"



Is it strange? Is it weird?
They come in search of truth
It must be on the spot
There's only me and you

We left our time
And you were fine
All your thoughts are out of mind
It doesn't start, it will not end
But how will we be moved?

On a rock, spinning through
That echoes round the sun
Echoes Round the Sun
Echoes Round the Sun

On a rock, spinning through
The Echoes Round the Sun
Echoes Round the Sun
Echoes Round the Sun

On a rock, spinning through
The Echoes Round the Sun

He looks up and he comes down
Floating through the void
Getting lost, getting found
Is something we can use
It doesn't start what doesn't end
How will we be moved?

On a rock, spinning through
The echoes round the sun

Echoes Round the Sun
Echoes Round the Sun
On a rock, spinning through
The echoes round the sun

Echoes Round the sun
Echoes Round the Sun
I'm on a rock, spinning through
The echoes round the sun
Echoes round the sun
Echoes round the sun

All on a rock, spinning through,
That echoes round the sun.

You and me on a spot
You and me on a spot
You and me on a spot
You and me on a spot
You and me on a spot

"Empty Ring"

"Empty Ring"



Careful not to end up fighting no-one
Still battling on, when all your enemies are gone
Making you look dumb and stupid, in an empty ring

What would it matter to you?
If the parts you always planned
Was right there in your hand
With no-one there to see land, in an empty ring

Taste the fear of fortune
The smell of toil and sweat
With the crowd in there to see it
It's just another memory, just another memory
In an empty ring (empty ring)

Words of wisdom fail you
And the time it takes to fall
With the crowd in there to see it
It's just another memory, just another memory
In an empty ring (empty ring)

With the world to listen to ya
Still rattling on with "oh, the war is won"
You just don't know when to give up; do you?

In an empty ring (empty ring).

"English Rose"

"English Rose"



No matter where I roam
I will come back to my English rose
For no bonds can ever tempt me from she
I've sailed the seven seas,
Flown the whole blue sky.
But I've returned with haste
To where my love does lie.
No matter where I go
I will come back to my English Rose
For nothing can ever tempt me from she.
I've searched the secret mists -
I've climbed the highest peaks
Caught the wild wind home
To hear her soft voice speak
No matter where I roam
I will come back to my English Rose
For no bonds can ever tempt me from she.
I've been to ancient worlds
I've scoured the whole universe
And caught the first train home
To be at her side.
No matter where I go
I will return to my English Rose
For no bonds, nothing and no-one can ever keep me from she

"Everything Has A Price To Pay"

"Everything Has A Price To Pay"



Here is the tune I've been writing -
It's been so long in the making
I hope it's worth all the waiting
Not expect it all for free
Everything has one ending -
Everything has it's day
There's no use in pretending -
Yes, everything has a price to pay

You just asked me, what I'm feeling
Should I tell you?
Nothing is for free
Can't you see - can't you see?
Everything has a price to pay

Everything that I know is -
Hanging on my melody
Everything has an ending
Yes, everything has a price to pay

You just asked me, what I'm feeling
Should I tell you?
Nothing is for free
Can't you see - can't you see?
Everything has a price to pay

Here is the tune I've been writing -
It's been so long in the making
I hope it's worth all the waiting
Yes, everything has a price to pay

"Fast Car / Slow Traffic"

"Fast Car / Slow Traffic"



Zoomin' in and out
Of the slow traffic mumble
Tryin'a make the lights
Getting' out of the jungle

It's been a long day
And my head's all gone
I'm tryin'a make the bridge
Before the sun goes down

Fast car, slow traffic
Fast car, slow traffic
Fast car, slow traffic
Fast car, slow traffic

Zoomin' in and out
Of the slow traffic mumble
Tryin'a make the lights
Getting' out of the jungle

It's been a long day
And my head's all gone
I'm tryin'a make the bridge
Before the sun goes down

Fast car, slow traffic
Fast car, slow traffic
Fast car, slow traffic
Fast car, slow traffic

Fast car, slow traffic
Fast car, slow traffic
Fast car, slow traffic
Fast car, slow traffic

"Feelin' Alright"

"Feelin' Alright"



Seems I've got to have a change of scene
'Cause every night I have the strangest dream
Imprisoned by the way things used to be
Left here on my own or so it seems
I've got to get out before I start to scream
'Cause someone's locked the door and took the key
You feeling alright?
I'm not feeling too good myself

Well boy, you sure took me for one big ride
And even now I sit and wonder why
An' then I think of you and I start to cry
But I just can't waste my time and must keep dry

Gotta stop believing in all your lies
'Cause there's too much to do before I die
Don't get too lost in all I say
Though at the time I really felt that way
But that was then and now it's today

Oh - can't get out feeling, so I'm here to stay
Til someone comes along to take my place
With a different name, just a different face
You feeling alright?
I'm not feeling too good myself

"Find The Torch, Burn The Plans"

"Find The Torch, Burn The Plans"



Dream this dream if you can
Find your way through the sand

Sing like you already own it
Our birth and right is to show it
Oh, oh, oh

Find the torch, burn the plans
State your case in your land

Scream like you already know it
Our deed is all that we owe it
Oh, oh, oh

Live your life if you can
Light the way with all that's at hand

Shout like you already know it
Our deed is all that we owe it
Oh, oh, oh

Sing like you already own it
Our birth and right is to show it
Oh, oh, oh

Sha, la, la, sha-la-la
(Sha, la, la, sha-la-la)
Sha, la, la, sha-la-la
(Sha, la, la, sha-la-la)
Oh, oh, oh

"Fly Little Bird"

"Fly Little Bird"


Fly little bird
When you fly
Fly little bird
When you fly
Fly little bird
When you fly
Fly little bird
When you fly
Just fly, just fly

You give the world to me
When you start to breathe
You give the world a dream
When you start to live
So fly little bird
When you fly
Fly little bird
When you fly
Fly little bird
When you fly
Fly little bird
When you fly
Fly little bird
When you fly
Fly little bird
When you fly

Help the world to see
When you start to dream
You give the world to me
When you start to breathe
So, fly little bird
When you fly
Fly
Fly in the sky
So, fly little bird
When you fly
Fly (repeat over)

Give the world to feel
You help the world to heal
You give the world to live
When you start to live
So, fly little bird
When you fly

This world we need to leave
We're following your lead
You said the world was love
The love is what we need
So, fly little bird
When you fly

Fly, fly little bird when you
Fly, fly little bird when you
Fly, high in the sky when you
Fly, fly little bird when you
Fly [Repeat]

"Fly On The Wall"

"Fly On The Wall"



Where angels meet - their words are whispers
As sea touches shore - the clouds move swiftly
And me, so small
Compared to it all
Like a fly on the wall
As pieces sweep
Their meaning is still no clearer
And under my feet
There's nothing to stop my own free fall

Down and down I go
And compared to it all
I'm a fly on the wall

Our children sleep
Resting our hopes and wishes
The night in between
I'm casting my scope, just fishing

Uhh, and in spite of it all
Oh, I look at me so small
And compared to it all
I'm a fly on the wall

And compared to it all
I'm a fly on the wall

"Foot Of The Mountain"

"Foot Of The Mountain"


Like a dream on the ocean
Always drifting away
And I can't catch up
She just slips away (on the tide)

Sometimes a great notion
Can lead us astray
So weak to devotion
So strong to deny

Oh baby baby won't you let me ride
Take me up on your sailboat ride
Come on now angels are on your side
But she slips away on the tide

Like mercury gliding
A silver teardrop that pours
And I can't hold on
Through my fingers she falls

At the foot of the mountain
Such a long way to climb
How will I ever get up there?
Though I know I must try

Oh baby baby won't you let me ride
Take me up on your sailboat ride
Come on now angels are on your side
But she slips away
Oh never stays

Yeah she slips away
Oh and she slips away
[repeat]
