The sellout clothes they wear
Still fit the new line Blood's thicker than water So they say It isn't what you know But who you are Where you've been And what you've got A first class ticket to the other side That's what they all want That's what they're all after A first class ticket to the other side That's what they all want That's what they're all after The school for boys taught When to ride the waves There's so much distance in between The league of gentlemen Still practice what they preach And find contentment with their peers No way you'll find them On the wrong side of the street That would never be their style 02. Cold In The Air
Through the cold in the air
I breathe the fear you're feeling Break free catch up with them now Of course I was the best in my day Built to survive You've turned out that way 03. Touching The Ice
Heading in the new direction
Old bulldogs had its day Steel wheels moving in slow motion Think it's time to take our place Let's rattle the cage Work the machine Let 'em know who you are Shine to be seen Crushed the cold hands of tradition Who cares where you come from? We're receivers of progression Not signals out of phase The mood on the street Can't hold the line To where will it lead? Move on the tide We are touching the whole human race We are touching now We are touching a time and a place We are touching now Touching, touching Touching, touching As we race to meet the future A generation after face Knowing nothing's really certain Only the chance we gotta take Don't need the disguise To hide the mistakes Rather run 'gainst the odds Than sail on the waste From the start of the gun To the crossing of tape In the eyes of the world There's no escape We are touching the whole human race We are touching now We are touching a time and a place We are touching now 04. Second Stage
[Instrumental]
05. Proxima
Slip through the net
You're on your own Crossing the water With all the blue lights on It's what you say And what you do Make for the change in the end Sensing the warm glow Got the picture now Watching a star go out in the black hole It's what you say And what you do Make for the change in the end Proxima Centauri Proxima Centauri Waiting for the answer too long Constant reminder too long It's what you say And what you do Make for the change in the end Approaching the centre Got to think again Scratching the surface No beginning to end It's what you say And what you do Make for the change in the end Proxima Centauri Proxima Centauri Proxima Centauri Proxima Centauri 06. The Link,
It was there all the time
just couldn't make the shape The room for expansion Play through the gate You were so nearly right You were too damn close You could have walked on the water You never settled for less like most We took the stage further in the extreme For the featured awakening A stand in between Behind it all there's so much more Behind it all there's so much more Born out of chaos, grew through the dust The force of emotion, really screwed us up Left at loose ends, return to the screen Pushed back the limits, caught sight of the dream Behind it all there's so much more Behind it all there's so much more Behind it all we see so much more So much more for us to say So much more for us So much more for us to see So much more for us From the ship on the water To new shifts in space The true potential Was staring us in the face Froze to perfection All senses preserved Await the grand opening As you waver the nerve Behind it all there's so much more Behind it all there's so much more Behind it all we see so much more Behind it all there's so much more 07. New Ground
Seeing things now
No one has seen Am I so unique? Will they know what I mean? Standing on new ground Standing on new ground Changes were made Outraced the light Feeling no fear Only wonder In the eyes of it all All nothing and this We tore down the shadows You didn't exist Standing on new ground Standing on new ground Standing on new ground Standing on new ground So many memories 08. From The Outside
Another hand has turned
Across the face of time Reaching out somewhere beyond We're on the outside Looking back at you There's so much more to black and white No more heroes they're left behind Silent running Turned full circle a high in the sky Watching waiting It's up to you to see it through It's up to you to see it through And if you're new, you'll see it through And if you're new, you'll see it through Free the memories, images are formed Lightning switch across the lens The line of forces travels in material waves The spirit the crowded sometimes sense One dimension, real world and the stage Communication Take advances as though men were more Changing tempo It's up to you to see it through It's up to you to see it through And if you're new, you'll see it through And if you're new, you'll see it through Together now we know we are Together we are Together what we speak we see Together we see 09. Wonderland
Still they dig for gold
Fooled on city streets With no regard for mine We watch the same repeats Repeat the same mistakes And swore we'd get it right next time Riding high in Wonderland Another runner in the UK See the crossing from Wonderland Shipping it back to the USA We gave all hope and house Giro's to Khyber Pass No one wants to live next door Who runs the northern line? Who rules the Union Jack? Nothing's really cricket, watch the score Riding high in Wonderland Another runner in the UK See the crossing from Wonderland Shipping it back to the USA After all we heard it all before And still the wheels go round And for all the changes that were made British standard, where's the standard? The Chinese take-away On empire's striking back Watch clockwork soldiers fall in line Land of hope and glory Ruled by class Still the British way of life Riding high in Wonderland Another runner in the UK See the crossing from Wonderland Shipping it back to the USA 10. Hemispheres (British Standard Approved)
There are spaces in my mind
It's a fine line So many places I have seen Is this my time? Eight ninths below the waterline Out of my hands Eight ninths below the waterline Oh no Another child left in the cold Taken chances Just breaking up inside After all this Never thought Turn out like this Where's the reason? So much to give Nothing left of me Oh no Take a look at me now I'm a part of it all Take a look at me now Oh, I've become God bless Her Majesty God bless Her Majesty God bless As I stand here all alone For one moment I think of how it might have been The other time Eight ninths below the waterline Out of my hands Eight ninths below the waterline Take a look at me now I'm a part of it all Take a look at me now Oh, I've become God bless Her Majesty God bless Her Majesty Long live Her Majesty Die for Her Majesty God bless Her Majesty God bless Her Majesty |
