No Time
Saw the folks down below crying
Heard them on the radio lying
Distant bells in the air
Ringing out do they hear?
Do they know its growing very near?
Everybody sitting here
They dont realize
Theyve got no time
Saw the transmitter sway slowly
Saw it crash in the lane coldly
Saw the seas rushing in
To the coast now theyve seen
Now they know its growing very near
Everybody sitting here
They dont realize
Theyve got no time
Saw them gather in slow motion
Setting sail on the tired ocean
Heard the clouds rolling by
Shouting down from the sky
Hear them speak their last goodbye
Everybody sitting here
They dont realize
Theyve got no time
No time

Angel, Angel, Down We Go Together
Angel, angel
Dont take your life tonight
I know they take
And that they take in turn
And they give you nothing real
For yourself in return
But when theyve used you
And theyve broken you
And theyve wasted all your money
And cast your shell aside
And when theyve bought you
And theyve sold you
And theyve billed you for the pleasure
And theyve made your parents cry
I will be here
Oh, believe me
I will be here
...believe me
Angel, dont take your life
Some people have got no pride
They do not understand
The urgency of life
But I love you more than life
I love you more than life
I love you more than life
I love you more than life

Its A Mistake
Jump down the shelters to get away
The boys are cockin up their guns
Tell us general, is it party time?
If it is can we all come
Dont think that we dont know
Dont think that were not trying
Dont think we move too slow
Its no use after crying
Saying
Its a mistake, its a mistake
Its a mistake, its a mistake
After the laughter as died away
And all the boys have had their fun
No surface noise now, not much to say
Theyve got the bad guys on the run
Dont try to say youre sorry
Dont say he drew his gun
Theyve gone and grabbed old ronnie
Hes not the only one saying
Its a mistake, its a mistake
Its a mistake, its a mistake
Tell us commander, what do you think?
cos we know that you love all that power
Is it on then, are we on the brink?
We wish youd all throw in the towel
Well not fade out too soon
Not in this finest hour
Whistle your favourite tune
Well send a card and flower
Saying
Its a mistake, its a mistake
Its a mistake, its a mistake

Rainy Day People
Rainy day people always seem to know when its time to call
Rainy day people dont talk, they just listen till theyve heard it all
Rainy day lovers dont lie when they tell ya theyve been down like you
Rainy day people dont mind if youre cryin a tear or two
If you get lonely, all you really need is that rainy day love
Rainy day people all know theres no sorrow they cant rise above
Rainy day lovers dont love any others, that would not be kind
Rainy day people all know how it hangs on a piece of mind
Rainy day lovers dont lie when they tell you, theyve been down there too
Rainy day people dont mind if youre cryin a tear or two.
Rainy day people always seem to know when youre feeling blue
High stepping strutters who land in the gutters sometimes need one too
Take it or leave it, or try to believe it
If youve been down too long
Rainy day lovers dont hide love inside they just pass it on
Rainy day lovers dont hide love inside they just pass it on

More Than Love
(d. pickerill/p. odonoughue)
On a warm summer morning
The suns hurting their eyes
No one is listening
cos theyre telling lies
Then they walk along the beach
Sun rising on the shore
As it moves across the sky
A scene from a film, as time goes by
Chorus:
Its much more than love
This feeling is stronger
Than any theyve known before
Can it go on any longer
Its much more than love
Its a spell that theyre under
Its hurting their hearts again
They cant go on any longer
He says, its alright
Shes not too sure
Just who are we, hear her
Crying out for more
Trying to make it work
They wont mind laughter now
Some kissing distant waves
As she leaves him with a smile
Chorus
Theyve got to take their time
To fight to keep their love alive
Theyve got to take their time
To fight to keep their love alive
Chorus (x2)

Sitting At The Wheel
I can hear the music playing
I can hear the word that youre saying
I can see the lovelife in your eyes
Whats the use in looking for an answer
I might find out
It could be a disaster
Hold on to your own time
Dont let go
Dont let go
Im sitting at the wheel
Watching the river roll roll on by
Sitting at the wheel
Dont let the river run dry
I can see your face on a piece of tomorrow
Ill hang my dream on a road I can follow
I gotta touch the warmth of your love
Not gonna take a chance a
Change of direction
Gonna keep on rolling till I find the connection
Hold on to your lifeline
Dont let
Dont let go
Sitting at the wheel
Watching the river roll roll on by
Sitting at the wheel
Dont let the river run dry
Im sitting at
Im sitting at the wheel
Like a voyeur standing at the edge of time
Looking for a reason
Thats got no rhyme
Love took a corner
Shot off for a mile
Rock on --- rocker
I can hear the music playing
I can hear the word that youre saying
I can see the lovelife in your eyes
Aint no use in looking for an answer
I might find out
It could be a disaster
Hold on to your own time
Dont let go
Dont let go
Im sitting at the wheel
Watching the river rock and roll on by
Sitting at the wheel
I am just sitting
Im just sitting at the wheel
Im just sitting at the wheel
Watching the river roll by
Rock and roll by
Sitting at the wheel
I am just sitting
Sitting at the wheel
If youre sitting at the wheel

Dont Accuse
Dont accuse
Hanson
There was a boy, he was lame
He had a limp in his leg
People looked at him with a frown
He said why do you put me down
No no no no dont accuse
You dont know what theyve been through
No no no no dont accuse
You dont know what theyve been through
How would you like it if I hurt you
Way deep inside
And looked at you with a frown
Would you feel all alone
No one comes over to help you
It seems like nobody cares
Maybe next time youll think twice
Before you accuse or compare
(repeat chorus)
When you prick us do we not bleed
When you whip us do we not weep
When you hurt us do we not cry
When you stab us do we not die

The Moneygoround
Robert owes half to grenville
Who in turn gave half to larry
Who adored my instrumentals
And so he gave half to a foreign publisher
She took half the money that was earned in some far distant land
Gave back half to larry and I end up with half of goodness knows what
Oh can somebody explain why things go on this way
I thought they were my friends I cant believe its me, I cant believe that Im so green
Eyes down round and round lets all sit and watch the moneygoround
Everyone take a little bit here and a little bit there
Do they all deserve money from a song that theyve never heard
They dont know the tune and they dont know the words
But they dont give a damn
Theres no end to it Im in a pit and Im stuck in it
The money goes round and around and around
And it comes out here when theyve all taken their share
I went to see a solicitor and my story was heard and the writs were served
On the verge of a nervous breakdown I decided to fight right to the end
But if I ever get my money Ill be too old and grey to spend it
Oh, but life goes on and on and no one ever wins
And time goes quickly by just like the moneygoround
I only hope that Ill survive

Found A Job
Damn that television ... what a bad picture!
Dont get upset, its not a major disaster.
Theres nothing on tonight, he said, I dont know
Whats the matter!
Nothings ever on, she said, so ... I dont know
Why you bother.
Weve heard this little scene, weve heard it many times.
People fighting over little things and wasting precious time.
They might be better off ... I think ... the way it seems to me.
Making up their own shows, which might be better than t.v.
(chorus)
Judys in the bedroom, inventing situations.
Bob is on the street today, scouting up locations.
Theyve enlisted all their family.
Theyve enlisted all their friends.
It helped saved their relationship,
And made it work again ...
Their show gets real high ratings, they think they have a hit.
There might even be a spinoff, but theyre not sure bout that.
If they ever watch t.v. again, itd be too soon for them.
Bob never yells about the picture now, hes having
Too much fun.
(chorus)
Judys in the bedroom, inventing situations,
Bob is on the street today, scouting up locations.
Theyve enlisted all their family.
Theyve enlisted all their friends.
It helped save their relationship,
And made it work again ...
So think about this little scene; apply it to you life.
If your work isnt what you love, then something isnt right.
Just look at bob and judy; theyre happy as can be,
Inventing situations, putting them on t.v.

When You Were A Child
We are born to this fantasy
Cant believe what theyve done to you
Hard to see all these years go round
Taught to hide all thats true inside
What was it like
When you were a child?
Did you see the world
In a different light?
When the veil came down
Our destiny grew away from us
Dont it make you weep
Cant you see
I believe that we were meant for each other
Well get along somehow
If they leave us alone
Why dont they let us be
...just what we want to be
Dont it make you weep, cant you see?
I cant believe what theyve done to you
Theyve got you just where they wanted you
When we sleep, dream each others dreams
Casting memories on a sea of hope
Remember life as a child could be
Bring it back for all of use to see
What was it like
When you were a child?
How did it feel?
Did your mother treat you kind?
Mend those broken toys?
For in your heart theres innocence
Waiting to be free, cant you see?
When you were a child

Attitude
Johnny moved to this big town
To be who he could be.
But the tough guys on the sidewalk
They dont want him to be free.
But he knows he has the power,
He knows someday theyll be dead.
The cant get him to turn around
He keeps walking straight ahead
cuz hes got attitude.
And it will get him through.
And hes got attitude,
And it will see him though.
Backstage mary
She grew up with nothing but hunger in her purse.
All the fancy ladies tell her
Youll only go from bad to worse.
But she just keeps on believing,
She tells them shes doing fine.
They get rich while she gets smart,
Shes growing stronger all the time
cuz shes got attitude,
And it will get her through.
And shes got attitude,
And it will see her through.
Everybody knows who they are,
They need no address.
They make sure things are going their way,
And the countrys in a mess.
As they buy that land, start that war,
Keep those people poor,
They dont care if people arent
Going to take it anymore.
And theyve got attitude,
And it will get them through.
And theyve got attitude,
And it will see them through.

Someone Else
Sit here alone
I wonder whats the use
Im so bored Im just killing time
Can you explain to me
I just dont understand
Why my skin has wore so damn thin
I realize that its been worse before
I realize.....
Dont wanna not gonna
Dont have to be myself today
I want to wake up as someone else
Dont wanna not gonna
Dont have to be myself today
I want to wake up as someone else again...
Im so tired today
I think Ill just lay down
Hibernate just for a year or so
No matter what I do the day just slips away
I need to take some time and start it all again
I realize that its been said before
Although I try I dont know whats in store
I realize.......
Dont wanna not gonna
Dont have to be myself today
I want to wake up as someone else
Dont wanna not gonna
Dont have to be myself today
I want to wake up as someone else again...
I realize that is has been worse before
I realize.....
Dont wanna not gonna
Dont have to be myself today
I want to wake up as someone else
Dont wanna not gonna
Dont have to be myself today
I want to wake up as someone else
Dont wanna not gonna
Dont have to be myself today
I want to wake up as someone else
I have to except that
I guess Im stuck with me today
I have to wake up and be myself again

Pastime Paradise
Theyve been spending most their lives
Living in a pastime paradise
Theyve been spending most their lives
Living in a pastime paradise
Theyve been wasting most their time
Glorifying days long gone behind
Theyve been wasting most their days
In remembrance of ignorance oldest praise
Tell me who of them will come to be
How many of them are you and me
Dissipation

Consolation
Segregation
Dispensation
Isolation
Exploitation
Mutilation
Mutations
Miscreation
Confirmation...to the evils of the world
Theyve been spending most their lives
Living in a future paradise
Theyve been spending most their lives
Living in a future paradise
Theyve been looking in their minds
For the day that sorrows gone from time
They keep telling of the day
When the savior of love will come to stay
Tell me who of them will come to be
How many of them are you and me
Proclamation
Of race relations
Consolation
Integretion
Verification
Of revelations

World salvation

Living in a pastime paradise
Theyve been spending most their lives
Living in a pastime paradise
Theyve been spending most their lives
Living in a future paradise
Theyve been spending most their lives
Living in a future paradise
Weve been spending too much of our lives

Living for the future paradise

Living for the future paradise
Shame to anyones lives

A Trick Of The Tail
Bored of the life on the city of gold
Hed left and let nobody know.
Gone were the towers he had known from a child,
Alone with the dream of a life
He travelled the wide open road,
The blinkered arcade,
In search of another to share in his life.
Nowhere.
Everyone looked so strange to him.
Theyve got no horns and theyve got no tail
They dont even know of our existence.
Am I wrong to believe in a city of gold
That lies in the deep distance, he cried
And wept as they led him away to a cage
Beast that can talk, read the sign.
The creatures they pushed and they prodded his frame
And questioned his story again.
But soon they grew bored of their prey
Beast that can talk?
More like a freak or publicity stunt.
Oh
No.
Theyve got no horns and theyve got no tail
They dont even know of our existence.
Am I wrong to believe in a city of gold
That lies in the deep distance, he cried
And broke down the door of the cage and marched on out.
He grabbed a creature by the scruff of his neck, pointing out:
There, beyond the bounds of you weak imagination
Lie the noble towers of my city, bright and gold.
Let me take you there, show you a living story
Let me show you others such as me
Why did I ever leave?
Theyve got no horns and theyve got no tail
They dont even know of our existence
Am I wrong to believe in a city of gold
That lies in the deep distance, he cried
And wept.
And so we set out with the best and his horns
And his crazy description of home.
After many days journey we came to a peak
Where the beast gazed abroad and cried out.
We followed his gaze and we thought that maybe we saw
A spire of gold - no, a trick of the eye thats all,
But the beast was gone and a voice was heard:
Theyve got no horns and theyve got no tail
They dont even know of our existence
Am I wrong to believe in a city of gold
That lies in the deep distance
Hello friend, welcome home.

Main Vein
What are you going to do to make me hate me
I cant see how you can this time
A fistful of lies and a verbal decimation
Its so sad but baby keep on trying
I got no chains or fancy aspirations
But Ive still got a losing streak
I dont need praise or instant admiration
It takes more than you to make me weak
What are you going to do to stop me this time baby
Youve been trying to funk around my mind lately
Well Im getting so sick and tired of
Hearing about it
Like Im not the man and I dont exist
You wanna know about this and you wanna
Know things about me
But what youre saying always has a vicious poison twist
Why do you do it to me
Tell me why do you do it to me
Why do you do it
Youre messing with my mind
Im breaking out, Im breaking out
Im flying higher than a pig in space
And theyve been so blind, theyve been so blind
I was born in 69
Amd Im telling the world
But they dont wanna know about me
No no no
I wanted just to do my thing
I wanted just to make my life
Have that swing and ooo feel so good
But all they wanna do is mess with my mind

Sleep All Day
His after moan though cries oh no
Hes building up a shine but he take it slow
And he knows it time to make a change here and time to get away
And he knows its time for all the wrong reasons and time to end the pain
But he sleep all, sleep all day, sleep all, we sleep all day over again
Why dont we?
She said what would your mother think and how would your father react oh lord
Would he take it all back what theyve done
No way he said take it, take it and dont break it with your own two hands
That was my old man and he said
If all is grounded you should go make a mountain out of it
Oh what a lovely day to have a slice of humble pie
Recalling of the while we used to drive and drive here and there
Going nowhere but for us, nowhere but for the two of us
And we knew it was time to take a chance here
And time to compromise our lives for awhile
And it was time for all the wrong reasons
But time is often on my side and I give it to you tonight
And we sleep all, sleep all day, sleep all, we sleep all day over again
As time goes by we get a little bit tired waking and baked another marlboro mile wide
Its sending the boys on the run in the time in hot summer sun
To swim beneath or over outside as theyre reading between the lines
Then they remember the part in the hallmark card where they read about the dreams
And reaching for the stars to hold on a little bit closer to
And they knew it was time, time to take a chance here
Time to compromise our little lives for just a little while
And they knew it was time for all the wrong reasons
As time is often on my side and I give it to you, oh boy
And we sleep all, sleep all day, sleep all, we sleep all day over again
She said what would your mother think and how would your father react oh lord
Would he take it all back what theyve done
No way he said take it, take it and dont break it with your own two hands

Killing Time
See that long line of people who keep standing in the rain
Lookin tired, gettin cold
And that signal light theyre waiting for, dont ever seem to chang
Killing time, aint it slow.
Watch them bending with the burden of the pennies that they save
Marking time, growin old
Slowly marching by the numbers to the freedom of the grave
Killing time, aint it slow
Thats the closest thing to living that theyre ever gonna know
And their good times aint no better than their bad
cause they think they need a signal light to tell them they can go
Killing time, aint it sad.
Dont feel sorry for those people who keep standing in the rain
They dont mind, they dont know
cause it never crossed their minds they got a reason to complain
Killing time, aint it slow.
Theyre not haunted by the visions that they never dared to see
And theyll never miss the dreams theyve never had
Theyre condemned to go on living in a penitentiary
For killing time, aint it sad.

It Doesnt Matter At All
Hey youve been hanging on
To a dream
Hoping that time
Would turn your fear away
But you must stop
Take a look around
What do you see
Do you see me
People say that Im crazy
(people call me a fool)
Theyve got no business to talk
(theyve got no reason at all)
Ill take a chance with you baby
It doesnt matter at all
It doesnt matter at all
It doesnt matter at all
Hey youre living in a world
Where reason is a waste of time
Nobody talking
The atmosphere is cold
Touching you deeply
Way down inside you
Do you wanna be loved
Say you wanna be loved
People say that Im crazy
(people call me a fool)
Theyve got no business to talk
(theyve got no reason at all)
Ill take a chance with you baby
It doesnt matter at all
It doesnt matter at all
It doesnt matter at all
Hey Ive been talked about
The way Ive been following you
But I dont give a damn
When it feels so right
But I must find out
Take a look around me
What do I feel
Whatll I do
You see Ive been hanging on
To a dream
Hoping youll find
The love you need in me
Giving you time
To make your mind up
Do you wanna be loved
Say you wanna be loved
People say that Im crazy
(people call me a fool)
Theyve got no business to talk
(theyve got no reason at all)
Ill take a chance with you baby
It doesnt matter at all
It doesnt matter at all

Better Off Now
I could feel it when we said goodnight
We both knew it had to and
We couldnt make it right
But we still came back again
Dont be sad cause we gave the best we had
Were better off now, better off now
Maybe we just dont know it
Better off now, better off now
Maybe this time
Were better off saying goodbye
I know Ill never feel the same
After loving you this way
Id do it all again
Though I know my heart would break
Once youve loved like this how do you admit
Were better off now, better off now
Maybe we just dont know it
Better off now, better off now
Maybe this time
Were better off saying goodbye
Maybe we just dont know it
Better off now, better off now
Its hard to realize
Were better off saying goodbye
Close your eyes and Ill be there
If you ever think you need me
Were better off now, better off now
Maybe we just dont know it
Better off now, better off now
Maybe this time
Were better off saying goodbye
