If you can't sleep tonight
And if a fever grips you tight Theres a place we must explore Open wide the door We may be the haunted men But we will hold our heads up when We're walking down the street of dreams The dead beats and the dispossesed The seekers of unlikeliness The beauty walks arm in arm With the beast tomight We may be the haunted men But we will hold our heads up when We're walking down the street of dreams Down the street of dreams We walk down the street of dreams A thousand doorways open there A thousand voices sweet and clear Emotions felt with a passion Never felt before We may be the haunted men But we will hold our heads up when We're walking down the street of dreams When you walk down the street of dreams You gotta hold your head up high 02. Shadow Of Love Music & lyrics by Vanian/Scabies/Jugg/Merrick
Don't be afraid to stand in the shadow of love
The hour is late and you know that time waits for no-one See the glow of the soul in her face Then you know that you're caught in the shadow of love A brief embrace and fear and restraint have all gone Innocence burns yes a fire that burned all along See the doors about to swing both ways See the answer mirrored in her gaze Then you know that you're caught in the shadow of love Every night, every day I experience the most exquisite pain A thousand whispers seem to say I light a candle to you and I pray I kneel to pray Now don't be afraid to get caught in the shadow of love Play the game take a chance or you haven't the power of love See the glow of a soul in her face See the glow of her saving veil of grace Then you know that you're caught in the shadow of love You're caught in the shadow of love 03. There'll Come A Day Music & lyrics by Vanian/Scabies/Jugg/Merrick
Fear grips your heart and you fight with all your might
Into the distant light you keep your vision bright And the torch of love is a burning flame It burns so bright it consumes all pain And while you hang your head to prey Fate deals a hand that we all must play And when the stars go out The skies have turned to grey I'm gonna walk on out Into a brand new day Schemes and dreams and just a little more To keep the wolf howling outside your door And every night every day I think I'll go go go insane That I have to win I have to try I have to hold my head up high And when the stars go out The skies have turned to grey I'm gonna walk on out Into a brand new day And the torch of love is a burning flame It burns so bright it consumes all pain And while you hang your head to prey Fate deals a hand that we all must play And when the stars go out The skies have turned to grey I'm gonna walk on out Into a brand new day 04. Sanctum Sanctorum Music & lyrics by Vanian/Scabies/Jugg/Merrick
I know it's late and I should goto bed
But I can't tear away from the night It holds the seed of a memory Its true of you When I first saw you I realised The fire burned deep inside your eyes I knew a kiss would paralyse Its true from you Awake in the night to whisper your name Only a silence replies it's answer a sleeping refrain The moment dies but memory stays Love like a run our way by We spin and we climb To where once islands cried And there sometimes angels can be devils too It's true of you It's true of you When shadows no longer fall And footsteps can't be heard at all I hear the ghost of a call Its true from you Awake in the night to whisper your name Only silence replies it's answer a sleeping refrain The moments die but memory stays Reaching for something thats just out of reach Lost to your lips and drowned in your kiss The tide of your passion is now but a dream Its but a dream 05. Is It A Dream Music & lyrics by Vanian/Scabies/Jugg/Merrick/Sensible
Stand in a line like a parking meter
Am I all alone (he's all alone) A vision of mine is becoming clear Its all so new it can't be true Sometimes the words appear in my head Sometimes I'm falling out of my bed Oh, is it a dream What does it mean Oh is it a dream What have I seen I know a man he's really awful nice He isn't here We whiled away an evening maybe two But what did that man really do Sometimes I feel like walking away Sometimes there's something I've got to say Oh, is it a dream What does it mean Oh is it a dream What have I seen Then suddenly Like a fly in a cup of tea I'm stirred and no longer free To fly away I think back to the other life That was borrowed the other night Could It be that it just might Drive me wild Oh is it a dream Oh is it a dream Oh is it a dream Oh is it a dream Am I dreaming? 06. Grimly Fiendish Music & lyrics by Vanian/Scabies/Jugg/Merrick/Doctor
Grimly fiendish
Plays the game that never pays Sing out loud but never prayed Grimly fiendish Wears a coat thats black and long He doesn't know that it's all wrong Simply fiendish A child caught in a grown up world No lies convince the court Once a week I could be Found on the faces all the frowns Hide and seek tried so hard To justify that crime could pay Just for today Bad lad bad boy Bad lad bad boy Bad lad bad boy Bad lad bad boy Bad lad bad boy Bad lad bad boy Bad lad bad boy Bad lad bad boy Let me get the story straight You never gave me a break It's a case of give and take You didn't make me good you just painted me green You made me part of your forgotten dream Grimly fiendish We'll send you just where you belong Where the children can't be found Bad lad bad boy Bad lad bad boy Bad lad bad boy Bad lad bad boy Bad lad bad boy Bad lad bad boy Bad lad bad boy Bad lad bad boy Hide and seek tried so hard To justify that crime could pay Just for today Bad lad bad boy Bad lad bad boy Bad lad bad boy Bad lad bad boy Bad lad bad boy Bad lad bad boy Bad lad bad boy Bad lad bad boy 07. Edward The Bear Music & lyrics by Vanian/Scabies/Jugg/Merrick
Shadows fall in the places we used to play
My toys have all been packed away The rocking horse rocks in its box A spinning top and Corporal Clott Are a dusty lot Many times I said I'd drop you a line I guess I'm just a rotten swine Who takes his time And walks for fun when she should run The damaged one is you old chum Who's the sucker now Who's the sucker now Could someone shed some light on this love affair And help to make me quite aware Of what is meant by wicked thoughts That have been sent My memory is empty Who's the sucker now Who's the sucker now It's too late now there's no time The truth is locked in my mind To wonder and look in my eyes Who's the sucker now Who's the sucker now 08. The Eighth Day Music & lyrics by Vanian/Scabies/Jugg/Merrick
Dead asleep the city dreams
Holding up its arms like limbs of steel Mountains rise like mounds of sand The boiling sea has swallowed up the land On the eighth day On the eighth day Dancing dead are knocking on my door In acid rain they came to mourn To raise the flag to raise the tune You know they'll be here soon The eighth day The eighth day Hollow homes and gloomy streets The people next door are looking more like circus freaks On the eighth day Echoes of the midnight chime The clock moves on but what a waste of time On the eighth day On the eighth day Dancing devil knocking on my door It has to grey that came to more To raise the flag to raise a tune You know they'll be here soon The eighth day The eighth day The eighth day Pure white heat and blood of sands Two clouds of crimson mists are swirling round and round On the eighth day Pools of fear and eyes that shine The mirrors craked but I know they'll be mine oh mine On the eighth day On the eighth day Dancing devil knocking on my door It has to grey that came to more To raise the flag to raise a tune You know they'll be here soon The eighth day The eighth day The eighth day The eighth day 09.
