Goodbye To All That
(music: marillion lyrics: steve hogarth & john helmer)
They try to trace her in the town
Appeal for information on the local news
Someone must have missed her by now
A mother or a father or a friendly face to talk her down
Shes heading for the great escape
Heading for the rave
Heading for the permanent holiday ...
(I) wave
Hold your breath ... till you feel it begin ...
Here it comes ...
Do you feel that? ...
... feel this?
Get used to it ...
She had the face of the statue of liberty
Oh free me
The fire and ice of amazon and eskimo
Take me home
The edge and glance of high fashion
Ask me about next year ...
(ii) made
Tell me Im mad
How should I know?
Tell me Im mad
I have been here for so long ...
Help me paint a picture
They say its a lie
Tell me Im mad!
Youre a fine one to decide
Burn me in the fires of wild heaven
Like it never would stop
Tell me Im mad
Tell me I imagined that ...
Was it something I didnt say?
Or was it something I said
Leave that stuff alone
Use me instead
I know Im always falling off the edge of the world
I got space in my bed
(off with his head! ... clearly, hes mad)
Youve got egypt in your head
Ive got a headful of troy
Chandeliers and charlemagne
Fireworks and toys
(iii) the opinum den
But you sleep like a ghost with me
Its as simple as that
So tell me Im mad
Roll me up and breathe me in
Come to my madness
My opium den
Come to my madness
Make sense of it again
(iv) the slide
Make a drug of my senses
Ill get you out of your head ...
Im sick for you ...
Love wastes us together
Love holds us together
Love folds us together
Flowers ...
(v) standing in the swing
I dont know what youre doing here
When theres murder on the street
I appreciate your concern
But dont waste your time on me
Im ashes on the water now
Somewhere far away
You think you came here just in time
But youre twenty years too late
You wont have long to wait
Easy
You said I was easy
This world sharpens teeth
Eat your words ...

The Great Escape
(music: marillion lyrics: steve hogarth & john helmer)
Heading for the great escape
Heading for the rave
Heading for the permanent holiday
Heading for the winter trip
Heading for the slide
Heading for the dignified walk away
Heading for the open road
Goodbye to all that
Heading for the automatic overload
Standing in the open boat
Standing in the swing
Waiting for the ringing and the bright light
Waiting to be recognised
Quiet applause will do
They shower you with flowers when they bury you
Youre holding on, youre holding on ...
(I) the last of you
Just when I thought Id seen the last of you
You come here scratchin at my door
Your pain and angers in the howling dark
Of every corridor I walk
So tell me more about the love that you rejected
Tell me more about the trust you disrespected
I still dont know, why did you hurt the very one
Why did you hurt the very one that you should have protected?
(ii) fallin from the moon
Dont ask me why Im doing this
You wouldnt understand
Youre asking the wrong questions
You couldnt understand
A bridge is not a high place
The fifty-second floor
Icarus would know
A mountain isnt far to fall
When youve fallen from the moon
Theres murder on the street
Im ashes on the water now, somewhere far away
I have fallen, fallen from the moon

Uncurl the fingers that hold
Summon the strength to let go

Out of the upset

The Release
(music: marillion lyrics: steve hogarth & john helmer)
The alarm by the bed
Wring the dreams from my head
Its a new day
Leave the flakes in the bowl
Milk unopened, Im gone
But Im still late...
Join the fight for a cab
Take our place in the jam
And watch the clock again
There is a man in my head
I think he came from the screen...
Or the bible
All he wants is for me is to be strong
But I seem to be unreliable
You know it gets so hard
When everything you are
Is everything you dont want to be
But at the end of the day
Youre the one who burns it all away
The end of the day
Youre the one
Youre the one
The end of the day
So wont you show me those pictures, you hold in your head
And can you lose me somewhere inside them all
Because there are colours that run through the heart of me
That only you can see
But at the end of the day
Youre the one who burns it all away
The end of the day
Youre the one
Youre the one
The end of the day
Youre the one who burns it all away
You burn it all away
Would you burn it all away
Would you burn it all away

Wotcha Gonna Do
Written by ricki, kim & marty wilde
I couldnt believe what I read when I got your letter
Said you needed to take some time to work out your life, yeah
Well, its easy for you to just go off and do what you want
Any time you please
Dont expect me to wait
If you leave its too late
Youre gonna have to crawl back on your knees
Wotcha gonna do when it gets so lonely
When youre down and so far away from home
How ya gonna feel, you know it wont get better
Cos youve made your bed so you can lie in it on your own
Wotcha gonna do
I knew youd been feeling the need to just change direction
But I didnt know you were gonna walk away from me, no
Now youre out on your own cos you think youve outgrown
All the things that you left behind
But its crazy to see
Cos you know without me
Youre gonna end up losing more than you find
Wotcha gonna do when it gets so lonely
When youre down and so far away from home
How ya gonna feel, you know it wont get better
Cos youve made your bed so you can lie in it on your own
Yeah, yeah
Now dont be a fool on yourself
Cos youve got so much to lose
And I really love you baby
Dont you know that I do, yeah
How ya gonna feel, you know it wont get better
Now youre down and so far away
Now youre down and so far away
Now youre down and so far away from home
Wotcha gonna do
How ya gonna feel

Head Over Heels
I wanted to be with you alone
And talk about the weather
But traditions I can trace against the child in your face
Wont escape my attention
You keep your distance with a system of touch
And gentle persuasion
Im lost in admiration could I need you this much
Oh, youre wasting my time
Youre just wasting time
Something happens and Im head over heels
I never find out till Im head over heels
Something happens and Im head over heels
Ah dont take my heart
Dont break my heart
Dont throw it away
I made a fire and watching burn
Thought of your future
With one foot in the past now just how long will it last
No no no have you no ambition
My mother and my brothers used to breathe in clean in air
And dreaming Im a doctor
Its hard to be a man when theres a gun in your hand
Oh I feel so...
Something happens and Im head over heels
And this my four leaf clover
Im on the line, one open mind
This is my four leaf clover

High Ball Shooter
Well Im a rock and roll preacher
Not a sunday school teacher
You aint no shady lady
But I love the way you strut your stuff
Youre a snow queen looking mean
Tryin to make it on the scene
I guess you love it
cause I always see you hanging around
Youre a high ball shooter
You make it easy to see
High ball shooter
You sure ripped the low ones off me
A magnet brought you to me
Told me your name was jo
You said you liked my music
And you really did enjoy the show
Now I wanna play piano
But my fingers dont agree
Theyre busy on you woman
And I feel your fingers workin on me
Youre a high ball shooter
You make it easy to see
High ball shooter
You sure ripped the low ones off me
Its time to leave you honey
I know youre feeling sad
Dont you cry now baby
You know that only makes me mad
I see you everywhere I go
Every town and place
I cant recall your name
But I know I wont forget your sweet face
Youre a high ball shooter
You make it easy to see
High ball shooter
You sure ripped the low ones off me
cause youre a high ball shooter
You make it easy to see
High ball shooter
You sure ripped the low ones off me

If Youre Not Gonna Love Me Right
(m.seward)
Hey, oh
Hey yeah
Hey baby, hey baby
The phone is ringing
And Im running late
Ive no time to get it
coz Im expecting you at eight
Heard your voice on the message
Im surprised you called
Said youre all tied up
And you aint comin at all
If youre not gonna love me right
Baby dont love me at all
Youre just gonna make me crazy
If youre not gonna love me right
Baby dont love me at all
If youre not gonna love me right, oh

Twelve long excuses none of them stop the hurt

Is this real love, I dont know anymore I swear
If youre not gonna love me right
Baby dont love me at all
Baby dont make me crazy
If youre not gonna love me right

You make me crazy if you really love me

Oh, I get confused when you hold me next to you
I wanna go further, oh baby yes I do
I just cant hold on to something that wont last
So wed better slow down, and maybe not go so fast
Maybe not go so fast
If youre not gonna love me right
Baby dont love me at all
Youre just gonna make me crazy

Beyond You
(music: marillion lyrics: steve hogarth & john helmer)
If you were a baby I would take you and run
I could hide you in the folds of my heart
Theres a truth in the madness that I cant get beyond
And a fever that wont leave me alone
I dont want my heart
Dont want my head
Dont want my friends
Dont want my bed
I cant live with myself
I cant live with myself
Cant take no help
I try to want you
But I cant get beyond you
I will stare from the window
At the shapes in the rain
As the space between us drives me insane
I cant live with myself
I cant live with myself
Cant take no help
I want no one else
If I was a child
I would reuse to leave
I would sit down on the street
Kick my legs and scream
Im not much of a man but I know how I am
I know this wont fade away
I will pretend and be strong
But I wonder where I belong
And the feeling comes in waves
A hole in my body.. aching
Like a heart dying
A soul crying
Exhausted and insecure
Took all you have and I still want more
And I reach out to hold you,
But all I do is hurt you,
Hurt you
I cant live with myself
I cant live with myself
Cant take no help
I try to want to
But I cant get beyond you
If I was a child
I would take you and run
And I say I dont know...
But I know
And I say Ill go, but I dont let go
You just spent the whole day
Driving away

Paper Lies
(music: marillion lyrics: steve hogarth & john helmer)
When you look into the mirror
Do you see a face you hardly recognise
If you look into the sun too long
Do the things you see begin to burn your eyes
Paper lies
Just to express what hes thinking
Must a man take all the mail will bring?
Are we living only for today
Its a sign of the times ... we believe anything ... and nothing
Paper lies
When you kill the truth
You can make a killing
You might just make losing look like winning
You came to tell the people whats goin on
But nobody knows whose side youre on
Seems like youre sailin pretty close to the wind again
Paper lies
You have already won a prize!
I know something that you dont know
Something that you ought to know
Its burning a hole in my pocket book
Listen ... do you want to know a secret?
We can print our own money here
If you let us do a piece on you
We can take you to pieces
When you look into the money do you see a face you hardly recognise?
When you get behind the news of the world do the things you find begin to bend your mind?
Paper lies
Why dont ya let us take a piece outta you?

King
(music: marillion lyrics: steve hogarth & john helmer)
How long can you stand
Tightening up
Avoiding the fight
Avoiding the truth
Tighten the smile
Tighten the lie
Will you get what you want
To be cursed with your dreams
I hope for your sake
Something gets in the way
How long can you stand
Living under the lens
The kiss of success
The ensuing, all consuming, mess
Message of love
They arrive everyday
People you touch
Wasting away
People you dont know
Give you no choice
And youre sick to your stomach
At the sound of your voice
And the shape of your face
And the sound of your name
They send you pictures of yourself
Its someone you dont know
And they call you a genius
Cause youre easier to sell
But the fire in your belly
That gave you the songs
Is suddenly gone
And you feel like a fake
Is that what you want?
I hope for your sake..
Youve got what it takes
Youve got what it takes
Youve got what it takes
To be spoilt to death

Mother Love
I dont want to sleep with you
I dont need the passion too
I dont want a stormy affair
To make me feel my life is heading somewhere
All I want is the comfort and care
Just to know that my woman gives me sweet -
Mother love
Ive walked too long in this lonely lane
Ive had enough of this same old game
Im a man of the world and they say that Im strong
But my heart is heavy, and my hope is gone
Out in the city, in the cold world outside
I dont want pity, just a safe place to hide
Mama please, let me back inside
I dont want to make no waves
But you can give me all the love that I crave
I cant take it if you see me cry
I long for peace before I die
All I want is to know that youre there
Youre gonna give me all your sweet -
Mother love
My bodys aching, but I cant sleep
My dreams are all the company I keep
Got such a feeling as the sun goes down
Im coming home to my sweet -
Mother love

Sorry Me, Sorry You
Its so easy
When love is new
Magic feeling
In everything you do
But we get careless
And make each other cry
Oh, what a waste
Just to let love die
Lets give it one more try
You say youre sorry
Im sorry too
Sorry me
Sorry me, sorry you
The fire is low
But the ashes burn
Getting near the point
Of no return
Out on the edge
Such a dangerous place to be
When darkness falls
And you got no way to see
Dont turn away from me
You say youre sorry
Im sorry too
Sorry me
Sorry me, sorry you
Now its over
Weve reached the end
Time has come
To start again
You say youre sorry
Im sorry too
Sorry me
Sorry me, sorry you
You say youre sorry
Im sorry too
Sorry me
Sorry me, sorry you

Heaven Sent
Got the lights down low, the street below
The world inside is spinning
All my memories, my doubts about
The ways that Ive been living
You come on like the sun
And blow it all away.
And I guess heaven sent you cause Im heaven high
And Im heading into what I cant describe
Its all I ever wanted but Im terrified,
Youre in my head, in my veins, in my world
And youre here to stay
Every day I wake, I hesitate
I feel you in my sky
All the melodies, my dreams, it seems
Youre always on my mind
You come on like the tide, you turn me
And I cant turn away
And I guess heaven sent you
cause Im heaven high
And Im heading into what I cant describe
Its all I ever wanted but Im terrified;
Youre in my head, in my veins, in my world
And youre here to stay

Sister Madly
Now youre heading down to get someone
Shouldve done what he had to do years ago
The position is coming through
All the people that youre standing on
All the people that youre standing on
Now youre heading down to be someone
Someone that youve seen in a magazine
Your premonition is coming true
Oh baby youre not so green
No baby youre not so green
No baby youre nutso
Sister madly waking up the dead
Youre systematically stepping on my head
Now youre heading down to find something
Something that you buried in your backyard
The position is coming through
From all the dirt that youre digging up
From all the dirt that youre digging up
Now youre heading down to be somewhere
Somewhere you imagined in your wildest dream
The opposition is coming through
From all the people that youre standing on
From all the people that youre standing on
Now youd better take a firm hand
Sister madly waking up the dead
Youre systematically stepping on my head
Now youre heading down to get someone
Someone that you shouldve had years ago
The position is coming through
All the people that youre standing on
All the people that youre standing on
Youre hard to get a hand on
Sister madly waking up the dead
Systematically stepping on my head

Woman In Love
I dont know why its the way of the world
But meanwhile....
Youve seen her sway when she walks down the street
Look at her eyes see the glow in her cheeks
It aint no secret she cant hide it away
Theres someone special shes the dish of the day
Shes a woman in love
Shes a woman in her prime
(shes a woman in love)
Look at her face its a picture
Shes a woman in love
Shes a woman
This chemistry youll never find in a book
No ectochromes gonna capture this look
These mixed emos make your senses to reel
Youve got to be there to feel what she feels
Shes a woman in love
Shes a woman in her prime
(shes a woman in love)
Look at her face its a picture
Shes a woman in love
Shes a woman
Why should a woman in all innocence
Be the one to inspire looks that kill
I dont know
I dont know why its the way of the world
Some will win, some will lose
But she cant tell
This kind of beauty comes from within
Shouldnt be allowed yeh its really a sin
Youd sell your soul for a night in her bed
Youre far too late boy Ive already said
Shes a woman in love
Shes a woman in her prime
(shes a woman in love)
Look at her face its a picture
Shes a woman in love
Shes a woman

How Good It Can Get
Slow down
Youre breaking up
Use your words
Dont yell so much
I dont understand a word
That youre saying
Now move in
Come up close
You look like
Youve maybe seen a ghost
Tell me
Has someone gotten to you baby
Now open your arms
Pick up your head
Open your eyes
So you can see
What happens next
You wont believe
Just how good it can get
Well make a lover
Out of you yet
The fog is so thick
I cant see my hands
It got much worse
Soon as I got in
And I know youre somewhere
Here in the water
Its ten feet deep
And the river wont stop
Ill tell you whats in it
When I make it across
You could make it too
If you let someone help you
But you gotta give in
And you gotta let go
Then you can begin
To come up slow
Like a desert rose
[chorus]
Take a deep breath
And hold it in tight
And put your face up
Right into the light
Cant you feel that full moon
Shining down on you
Help is coming
From the great unknown
Just maybe not
When you needed it most
Cause I can see you already
Know that youre leaving
But I wish youd stay
And just let me in
Cause everything can change
But you gotta be ready
Cause you wont know when

Dry Land
(music: hogarth / woore lyrics: steve hogarth)
In all the time that Ive known you
Youve been so edgy and nervous
I never wanted to own you
I was aware of the danger
Of making a bid for your favours
Youre such a natural stranger
I made excuses and ran
Youre an island
But I cant leave you all out at sea
Youre so violent with your silence
Youre an island
I cant sleep
Wont you speak to me
Im on dry land
Wont you help me please
In all the time that Ive known you
There has been something between us
I dont think its my imagination
I felt like I couldnt touch you
But I had the feeling youd love to
Tell me the truth if you could do
I made excuses and ran
Youre an island
But I cant leave you all out at sea
Youre so violent with your silence
Youre an island I cant sleep
Wont you speak to me
Im on dry land
Wont you help me please
Youre an island
But I cant leave you all out at sea
Youre so violent with your silence
Youre an island I cant sleep
Wont you speak to me
Im on dry land
Wont you help me please

We make her bear and raise our children,
And then we leave her flat for being a fat old mother hen.
We tell her home is the only place she should be,
Then we complain that shes too unworldly to be our friend.
Oh, woman is the nigger of the world,

If you dont believe me, take a look at the one youre with.
Oh, woman is the slave to the slave,
Yeah, all right.
Hit it!
We insult her evry day on tv,
And wonder why she has no guts or confidence.
When shes young, we kill her will to be free,
While tellin her not to be so smart we put her down for being so dumb.
Oh well, woman is the nigger of the world,
Yes, she is,
If you dont believe me, take a look at the one youre with.
Woman is the slave to the slaves,
Yes, she is,
If you believe, wed better scream about it!
Uh, uh, uh, hey, hey.
