Lyrics

A stranger in this world

I feel I don’t belong here
like a whale that’s washed ashore.
Got lost from my direction,
separating ‘d be no more.

Within this place I’m homeless.
Rotten roots dug in the past.
I’m driven to get somewhere
love and peace of mind will last.

I’m longing to the light I felt,
the colours touching me,
and silence held me in her arms,
the sky to shelter me.
And I feel I am a stranger,
I’m a stranger in this world.

Oh, my desire to come over,
and in this place I feel much colder.
And I feel I am a stranger,
I’m a stranger in this world.

It’s like I watch a movie.
It’s a strange scene that I see.
I don’t want to feel connected.
This ain’t the place to be.

I’m longing….(etc.)

Mixed feelings

Don’t know I’m right or wrong
Don’t wanna hurt you by either leaving
Or going on.

The lake is dry though it’s pouring down.
The river stopped the flowing thought
The earth keeps spinning ‘round us two.

Don’t know watch brightness or gloom
Is it inside myself or us both staying in this cosy room?

Couldn’t it be easier like it used to be?
Though the dawn showed the changes since the sunset before –
With you..

(solo on verse)

The heat is on thought the fuel’s gone, long gone.
Though I’m broke I keep on, spending
Spending everything on you.
On you, on you, on you.

Vibes on the line

In my head I’m free
Fancy how we could be

Tonight I’m alone
Just you and me on the phone
To share our fate

I don’t know where you are.
Could be near and so far

Your voice sounds so bright
Touching me with the vibes you send through the line

I try to relate
To the things I can’t take
You keeping me tied
To my feelings, my feelings I can’t hide
Got to keep inside.

My imagination switched on
I watch your picture until the dawn.

Pretend you’re so close
Smell your scent like a cloud lingers on
‘round me throught the night.

I try to relate to
Everything and all that I wish to
You’re keeping me craving to you
That’s all I can do is pretending you’re here
My picture through the line

I know you’re different

Churchbell’s ringing it’s tune
And there’s a pink coloured moon.
I know I’m losing.
A man on the move
Searching the light in your eyes.
For the stars, I know they’ll guide me.

(chorus)
Still feeling safe at night.
Hiding my face from sight.
Though knowing you can see me.
I see your back fronting me,
Watch myself in a drowing sea,
Then I know you’re different to me.
Wish you were different to me.

A flight of birds flying south.
I’m only one in that crowd.
Knowing I’d better fly away.
Fancy your face in the moon.
As I watch it smiling at noon.
I know what it tells me.

Stil feeling …

I know you’re different to me.
In know the back of my mind
I ‘m sure, I’m sure in the back of my mind,
I feel, I feel you’re different to me.

It’s better than sex (lyrics by Bernard Brogue & Tom Fairnie)

I’ve got my imagination
I’ve got my handy friend
Need no revelation
My future’s in my own hand.
I ‘d have a fancy island
Where I could swim or sink
With all these fish in the sea
It would make a real man think..

(There’s) No need to take offence
Don’t blush if I check your legs
There’s lots I can appreciate
And more than that
It’s better than sex

Had many a tasty morsel
I’ve had my share of spice
Variety’s been my watchword
Seen the virtue of each vice.

Nothing appeals like
Nothing revealed
Nothing concealed when
All my senses feel
It’s better than sex.

I’ve messed in deep water
But I’m not a shallow guy
Kissed the sweetest lips
And watched the girls go by
I appreciate a fine wine
The lowlands and the high
The scent of sweet jasmine
Lingers when you pass by

Woman in need

Can’t you stand your eyes watching mine
Let the dawn break the day
and the sun desire’s to shine on
So don’t you hide behind a cloud.

(chorus)

There’s emptiness that fills your heart
You’re hooked on evermore.
I watch your eyes that crave the flow,
That keeps you on the go.
(you’re a) woman in need, woman in need.

Easy girl so hard to get.
One night that stands for more.
Your greedy love and choking heat
Is chasing me out of your door.

You excite me so much
But I can’t stand to stay.
You’re welcome to the best.
Don’t let the passionheat burn it all away.
(you’re a) woman in need, a woman in need.

(chorus)

Rain coming down

‘Round and ‘round
the world is spinning upside down.
I finally found out
every harmony‘s got minor sound.

Every dream is waking up
into day’s disillusion.
Every longing’s working
into a whole confusion.

Bound by fate
hope’s dissolving like a rainbow.
I know, I know
passion changes into sorrow.

Every wishing’s waking up
into day’s desolation.
Every day the sun comes up
rain’s coming down.
(And the rain is coming down)

Through and through
Red sunset’s turning into blue.
Down and down
Every hightide’s going down.

Birdwatching

When I watch the birds accompany me on my way
And when I think how far they go, the price they have to pay.
I know what's warmth, like them I know what 's cold.
I found out how hard life can be.
My friends say it's reality.
I need some safety.
When I watch the raging wind
And there's no shelter in the sky.
The only thing that you can do
Is leave your troubles on your side.
I know, I know it should be only you and me
Who could be flying free.
I whish it would be reality, safety,reality.

Genocide

The sun it rises, moon it sets.
Night’s away, the day has rest.
Village burned down, people slaughtered.
Children lost and soldiers laughter.

Hills lie silently, trees grow wearily
People fleeing, peasants praying.
Sons are fighting and mothers waiting.
Freedom’s lost the war is ageing.

Time is flowing by.
Future’s pasttime.
You stand there silently and you’re wondering why.
You stand there silently and you’re wondering why.
You stand there silently and you’re wondering why.

(solo)

There ain’t no time for crying, for mourning.
This is time the silent’s falling.
Village burned down people slaughtered.
Lovers lost and soldiers laughter.

Not before

Days have grown darker time after time.
Justyfies cozyness with you by my side.

Be my guiding light
Promise me now
Not before christmas don’t go.

Cold wind is rising, white blanket that hides
Gloom that’s inside me, the eastern star’s high.

Be my shelter
I’m pleading with you
Not before christmas don’t go.

Don’t emphasize loneliness
The shimmering supposes,
Words in a snowstorm
But I can’t deny them.

Be my shelter ...

The varnish, the candlelight shining so bright.
I can hear the flames burning in this silent night.

Don’t put out my fire
I’m pleading with you
Not before christmas don’t go.

Be my shelter....

Still miss it

Thought I’d already be there
Found out I still miss it.
Roam about there for hours
Wish it be a minute
Try to keep myself patient
Say myself hold on waiting

Maybe I’m blind for changes
Confess I want it perfect.
Discontented with a reject
O only want a real love.

Every waiting takes too long
Torments me a whole life long.
Wish I’d already found it
Got to keep on mining
Try to reach the horizon
Madly keep on driving

Longing you preys on my mind
All I want is peace of mind
Every waiting takes too long.
Torments me eternally.

(verse)
Wish I’d already found it
Got to keep on mining
Try to reach the horizon
Madly keep on driving

Found out I still miss it (etc)

Dream away

Wanna close my eyes and leave reality right now.
It’s been too much.
My senses got too much today.
I am sealed off now and safe inside my shell.

I’m sorry not to listen now, I’m broken.
There’s nothing I can give to you.
So let me dream, dream away, escape the day.

I am weary now, I’m knackered to my bones.
Don’t expect too much
Not any sign of life
And I’m sealed of now
To get myself back again

Time change

Time change, what will it bring?
Try not to worry ‘bout, about anything.

I look right, the road seems clear.
And I look left. No need to hold on to fear.
So I move on my own way.

Time change,what can I do?
Doubt about the things to come
or everything that I’ve gone through.

Time changes things to come.
Time shows the things undone.
Time maybe’ll bring the one,
But I’ve got ot move on my own way.

Sky’s bright, the road seems clear
Course is right.
No need to fear for going astray.
So I move on my own way.

I believe it’s time change, Time changes.
Time change, what will it bring.
