As they marched, the crowds lining the route broke into applause, a sweet and deeply felt spontaneous pattering that was a sort of communal embrace. Welcome home.

Sickened Sweet With Promises
They chose to take,
Another route.
In pursuit.
They would face,
A deadend to defend and embrace.
They chose to take,
Another route.
To then declare.
They,
Were not aware.
Sickened sweet with promises.
Yet
None of them existed.
Fixed with addictions.
And no one cared.
And those who followed say,
The choices made weren't theirs.
And those who followed say,
They were not prepared.
And those who followed say,
The air that laid sweet with promises to keep.
Would amongst them be shared.
Whether or not.
Promises kept may not be there.
They chose to take,
Another route.
In pursuit
They would face,
A deadend to defend and embrace.
They chose to take,
Another route.
To then declare.
They,
Were not aware.
But a choosing of deceit they did.
And none amongst them dared.
Sickened sweet with promises.
Yet.
None of them existed.
Fixed with addictions.
And no one cared.

When not deeply engaged in creative activities, or numbed out by the TV, I felt empty. My heart hurt. I often felt hollow or as if I were some sort of wispy ghost, barely existing.

Home Sweet Home
Met this girl called josephine and took her up on my machine
We had a little fun and now we got a little one
Had to get married, being chased out of town
Found ourselves a place to live, we put all our money down
Call it home sweet home, home sweet home
Eleven floors up in a tower block
Happy just to have a home
Ive gone and changed the lock on our home
Nothing really worked out right, things got broke,
They stayed that way
None of our friends came around at night and little sam got
No place to play
Weve got to get out of here, bill she said Ive been telling
You all the while
When I came home from work that night shed jumped out the
Window with our chiled
From our home sweet home, home sweet home
Just a place to take a rest, just a place ot make our nest
-- we call it our home
When the insurance money came through seemed dirty didnt
Know what to do
Took the cash went down the casino, down on the wheel
On the double
And I won, oh yes I won, like I never won before
Bought myself a country house with an antique carved
Oak door
It was home sweet home, home sweet home
Just a place to lay our head think of all those things we said
About in our home sweet home.

Tuba
I was once in a band
in school long ago
when the Poison was big
as their hair
When I was a lad
I played a Golden Tuba
and marched all
over the land
We played in parks
for elderly folks
we played in the gym
for our parents
but mine weren't there
We marched in parades
and my Tuba shined
because I polished it
every day and night
I was so proud of that
Tuba and the sound it
produced that I played
it at home in my room
marching in place
like the whole band
was there
and such pride, such pride
until Dad broke it.

Home In San Antone
Havent got a worry
Havent got a care
I havent got a thing to call my own
Though Im out of money
Im a millionaire
I still have my home in san antone
When I greet my neighbor with a hi yall
Im wealthy as a king upon a throne
You can have your mansion or your cottage small
Ill just take my home in san antone
Traveling around the country
On my merry way
Ive been to crowds and felt I was alone
But when I feel like braggin
I just up and say
Im a native son of san antone
Theres a sweet somebody by the alamo
Someday shes going to be my very own
And well buy a high chair in a year or so
For our little home in san antone

I Wanna Go Home
Intro:
(heres a very good old good one, see if you remember this one, see if we do!)
(this is gonna be nice, this is gonna be very nice)
Sailed on the sloop john b
My granddaddy and me
round nassau town we did roam
Wed been drinkin all night
Well I got into a fight
Yeah and I feel so broke up
I wanna go home
Hoist up the john b sails
See how the mainsail sets
Send for the captain ashore
And let me go home
I wanna go home, I wanna go home, yeah
cause I feel so broke up, I wanna go home
Yes I do
(hes so broke up, lord, I wanna go home)
Well captains a wicked man
He gets drunk any time he can
And he dont give a damn for grandpappy
No, nor me
He kicks us around
And he knocks us about
Well I feel so broke up, i
I wanna go home
Well pull up the john bs sails
See how the mainsail sets
Send for the captain ashore
And let me go home
I wanna go home
Well, I wanna go home
cause I feel so broke up (hes so broke up)
I wanna go home
(yes I do)
I feel so broke up
(he so broke up)
Lord, that I wanna go home

Silver Lining
My muffins are in the toaster
I got my raspberry jam
My grandfather was a sailor
That came onto this land
And he was looking for gold,
A pretty hand to hold,
Or some cards to fold.
At least, thats what I was told.
Silver lining
Silver lining, whered you go?
Turn on my tv
They got talking heads in space
Used to be so easy
To have a little faith
I used to rely on luck
I didnt feel so stuck
Could earn an honest buck
Without lookin round, like jon kruk.
Silver lining
Silver lining, whered you go?
I used to have hope
Now we got soap on a rope
I used to have dreams
Now we got overplayed baseball teams
We got grocery baggers, grafitti taggers,
Golf-ball shaggers, go team go.
Silver lining
Silver lining, whered you go?
My landlord knocks upon my door
Hes got that payday face
I swear to God he should be payin me
To live inside this place
Its filled with sharks and fins
Whose double chins say
Thicken your skin, child
If you want to win
Silver lining
Silver lining, whered you go?
I fix myself some herbal tea
Cause its healthier they say
Well, healthier aint half as fun
I take a cold beer anyday
I used to have dysfunctional fun
In the cancerous sun
With my co-dependent hon
Eatin greasy greasy hotdogs on a buttered up bun
Silver lining
Silver lining, whered you go?
Silver lining
Silver lining, whered you go?

Rush has never been a spontaneous group. We may be spontaneous in our writing, we may be spontaneous as individuals in our day to day lives... certainly I think am and always have been, but I think when it comes to Rush and our presentation of our music it's quite controlled.

Sweet Marie
Sweet marie you mean a lot to me
In my memory I hold you very dearly
Once in all my dreams, my plans, hopes and future schemes
There was sweet marie
But my home is where my heart is
And my heart is not at home
Whenever we are parted
I feel so all alone
With twilight falling
The moon is calling sweet marie
What the sea tells only sea shells
Are whispering sweet marie
Into the darkness goes this message sweet marie
Some lovers are sometimes parted
They must end what they have started
All thats left is the broken hearted, I must depart my sweet marie
Somewhere out in arizona
Such a long way from california
I felt so alone there
I was two thousand miles away from home there
Tonight were going to play boston
I still dont know what the hell is going on
Oh but I wrote this song
To keep me thinking on about my sweet marie
Sweet marie you mean a lot to me
This melody it keeps haunting me
My sweet marie
In harmony, its will me constantly, sweet marie
But my home is where my heart is
My heart its not at home
Now that we are parted
I feel so all alone

Caller ID
So many times I'd wonder where you'd be.
Whether you were home alone,
Sitting by the phone like me?
I wanted to call you...
Now that I'm available and free.
But I remember how we parted...
And you have 'Caller ID'.
I use to cry when we broke up.
Feeling physically and mentally drained.
And nothing could satisfy what I felt!
Feeling betrayed and blamed!
And I still have your number,
Engraved in my heart!
With a wedding band returned and refused!
I'd like to think there are memories to rekindle.
But I know you have better things to do!
'I have better things now..' You last said to me!
And I hung up feeling deeply bruised!

To Dream
'Neath these hallowed halls of dreams
Came a stirring blush of aware
Deeply felt-too soon to melt
The warmth of 'truly care';
Truly care grew into love
Where dreams make their way
In tender arms of loves embrace
My dream came true this day;
Slumber, oh sweet slumber, sublime
I thank you from my core
For showing me, loves divinity
With the promise of forevermore;

Where to from here?
Am trying to think
Think of what to say
I've always felt your interest
But I never realized just how deeply you cared
Because I've been down this road before
Distance is not really the issue
It is what comes after
You fly back home
Not having you near
Feel me as I have felt you
Felt you from the start
It is what is in between
Which I fear
This is how it will be for me.
The yearning to hold your hand
Our candle lit dinners
Your soothing voice
As you recite your poetry
The way you throw back your head
When you laugh
What will life be like after you leave?
What I am really asking is

Applause
People will grow
More with applause
Than with rich food.
People will die
More for applause
Than for rich food.
People will die
More from applause
Than from rich food.
People forgo,
To get applause,
Their food in time.
People will spend
More for applause
Than for rich food.
Applause will do
What alcohol
Will, to people.
Applause denied,
Or food denied,
The body will wilt.
Applause is earned
To gather people
And select mates.
Applause feeds ego
And food keeps body.
Body is for ego.

Skytears
It solemnly soars down to the
Treetops, the lampposts, the bald head
Of the eremite who walks by
Soaking in nature's monochrome
It splashes upon the shingles
Falling from heaven to the panes
That separate us from the world
Gripping for life on the clear glass
Yet slowly sliding down in time—
Like a tear from the little boy
Who learns nothing perfect can last—
Into its playful puddle mass
The grey beings in the heavens
Cast them down, down towards the ceilings—
Sometimes with sweet pattering sounds
Sometimes with a godly booming...
How did the silver lining snap
And cast all hope into the gale
But puts harmony in the blooms
To soak the world in complete perfection
Before its abrupt finale
Silver Lining (A Tribute To Geometry)
Sent a note home to my mom
Expecting it to be a bomb
But my mom hates my teacher
And her whining
And the fact that I don’t care
Is silver lining
I have failed
And there’s no catching up
So I’ve decided I’ve had enough
And if you care then that’s just tough
The phone is ringing for my mom
Expecting it to be a bomb
But my mom hates my teacher
And her whining
And the fact that I don’t care
Is silver lining
I have failed
To the extreme
Passing this class
Is beyond my dreams
No motivation when there’s no catching up
And if you care well then that’s just tough
Sent a note home with me
Expecting me to drown in misery
But I hate her and her whining
And the fact that I don’t care
Is silver lining
I have failed
And I don’t care
She’s raining Hell
It’s so unfair
I am sick of her
And her whining
The fact that I don’t care
Is silver lining
I have failed
Beyond repair
This class is Hell
And I don’t care
I’m sick of her
And her whining
And the fact that I don’t care
Is the silver lining

Sing a Song of War-Time
Sing a Song of War-time,
Soldiers marching by,
Crowds of people standing,
Waving them ‘Good-bye’,
When the crowds are over,
Home we go to tea,
Bread and margarine to eat,
War economy!
If I ask for cake or
Jam of any sort,
Nurse says, “What, in War-time?
Archie, cert’nly not!
Life’s not very funny
Now, for little boys,
Haven’t any money.
Can’t buy any toys.
Mummie does the housework,
Can’t get any maid,
Gone to make munitions,
‘Cause they’re better paid,
nurse is always busy,
never time to play,
sewing shirts for soldiers,
nearly ev’ry day.
Ev’ry body’s doing
Something for the War,
Girls are doing things,
They’ve never done before.
Go as ‘bus conductors,
Drive a car or van,
All the world is topsy-turvy
Since the War began.
