Tracks



01. Days Of No Trust

Pray to the future
Look to the past
Face the accuser
Freeze in our tracks
So many children
Have fallen from grace
The door should be open
No scorn or disgrace

Keys have been stolen
Treasure is lost
Lesson is golden
Hearts have been crossed
So here's to the heros
Come one and come all
Without them well who knows
Well who knows at all

In these days of no trust
Evermore hostility
We're all living under the same old sky
We're all living telling the same old lie
In these days of no trust

And music recorded
Might influence dreams
But headlines are courted
By stretch limosines
Pictures of plenty
Are stuck to the wall
For heads that are empty
Brains on the floor
Can't take any more

Someone is shouting
Revolution is here
He'll climb any mountain
For his selfish career
The truth's not a curtain
To be drawn back and forth
It's a flame that keeps burning
Everlasting tourch

In these days of no trust
Evermore hostility
We're all living under the same old sky
We're all living telling the same old lie
In these days of no trust

02. Wild Swan

Wild swan follow the river
Don't fly through dangerous skies
On and on from bow and quiver
Ride over mountains so high

Over feilds and the ruin of castles
Into the evening we soar
City lights begin to sparkle
Like diamonds thrown to the floor

Fly home it's just me and you
Your only son
Fly home I've been waiting to
The time has come
The time has come

Wild swan follow the river
Don't fly through dangerous skies
On and on from bow and quiver
Ride over mountains so high

Out to sea on the wings of heaven
Where silver cuts like a knife
Say farewell to the ships of the ocean
We travel into the night

Fly home it's just me and you
Your only son
Fly home I've been waiting to
The time has come
The time has come
I'm coming home
I'm coming home
I'm coming home

03. Start Talking Love

Just another broken heart
Any fool can see
Though we're living worlds apart
You're still next to me

I'm never gonna give you up
Never wanna make you cry
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna say goodbye

Just another lonely night
I'm missing you again
Nothing ever turns out right
So when's it gonna end

I'm never gonna give you up
Never wanna make you cry
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna say goodbye

When you start talkin' love
You know that I'd run through the night
To be with you
Talk about love
It's a walk from the dark to the light
To be with you
Start talking love
Talk about love

You left me with a broken heart
Any fool can see
Now we're ling worlds apart
Guess it was meant to be

I'm never gonna give you up
Never wanna make you cry
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna say goodbye

When you start talkin' love
You know that I'd run through the night
To be with you
Talk about love
It's a walk from the dark to the light
To be with you
Start talking love
Talk about love

04. One Step Away

See you like the water's edge
The taste of fear is in my heart and in my head
I've never seen a power so strong
The silver moon just like a medal being hung

Feel your touch your brand of fire
And your magic weave is more than I require
I've never seen this place before
I live in this world yes I know where I belong

Time has no respect for man'sd vanity
We hold the keys we are the caretakers of insanity
We've been down this road before
Learnt the lesson on the surface it's been scored

One step away
Away from you
One step away
Away from you

Your many faces I can't trust
I walk alone I'll take my chance I won't be pushed
You promise all the things i need
I'd have to change my ways and all I believe

Feel your touch your brand of fire
And your magic weave is more than I require
I've never seen this place before
I live in this world yes I know where I belong

05. It Must Have Been Love

Rainy day
Stormy night
She couldn't stay
It wasn't right
She never cried
She's very strong
Always tried
When it went wrong

It's nothing new
When you loose
And getting through
It's no pleasure cruise
She never lied
I heard them say
Just hit the slide
And fell away

It must have been love
That let her down
It must have been love
That pushed her around
Looking for love
She never found
It must have been love

She spend her time
In an endless search
It's a crime
Keeps getting hurt
She never learns
Takes it day by day
She gets burned
And turned away

It must have been love
That let her down
It must have been love
That pushed her around
Looking for love
She never found
It must have been love

06. Different Worlds

On narrow streets
Old men lie
In the doorway sleeping
While working girls
Comb their hair
See the young men peeping

Different worlds
Only a walk across the street
Different worlds
You never know what you might meet

No satin sheets on your bed tonight
How you feeling
While running feet always disappear
>From sirens screaming

Different worlds
Only a walk across the street
Different worlds
You never know what you might meet

Some of us take what we want
Some of us take what we need
Some of us break
Some of us bleed

Where velvet gloves and your diamond rings
Lose their meanings
For those who we love if they realy care
Keep on dreaming
Dream on

Different worlds
Only a walk across the street
Different worlds
You never know what you might meet

Some of us take what we want
Some of us take what we need
Some of us break
Some of us bleed

07. Pray For The Day

Pray for the day
This city's wall
Concrete for chains
Will crumble and fall
Pray for the day

On top of the world
Nothing breaks in
Cross after cross
They have to dig in
Where to begin

Remember at the border
When the blood ran like water
Murdered for escaping
While the world looked on shaking

On top of the wolrd...

They crowned you with pain
And emptied your head
Your rescuers came
And left you for dead
Now it has to be said

Remember at the border...

And all across the land
The keys to freedom jammed

Remember at the border...

Pray for the day...

08. Don't Wake The Lion (Too Old To Die Young)

It was the day that war broke out
Everyone seemed exited
While young men boasted
And talked of great times
Dark clouds gathered
On the Maginot line

Sisters and fathers
Brothers and sons
All said goodbye
It seemes so much fun
We'll be finished by Christmas
Back home by the fire
Perish the distance
The bombs and the wire

Don't wake the lion

There's a firework show tonight
Eveyone's been invited
There's mud on faces
With frightened white eyes
And some won't make it
Throught the thunderous noise

Powerfull and angry
Answer the guns
All through the night
Relief never comes
It's criminal deception
Sets man against man
Indicting reflection
A devious plan

Don't wake the lion

Here what there saying
Come the freeze
You'd better hold on tight
And while your praying
On your knees
Prepare to stand and fight

Someone keeps saying
It's written in a book
So keep yourself in line
But you're betraying
With every nervous look
That now it's killing time

And from the morning to the night
We tried
They said it all would turn out right
They lied

Too old to die young
Too big to cry
Too old to die young
To say goodbye

Above the raging evening sky
Will never be the same
While necks are straining
Those hidden eyes
Shoot out another flame

And from the morning to the night
We try
They said it all would turn out right
But they lied
Yes they lied

Too old to die young
Too big to cry
Too old to die young
To say goodbye
