1. FOUR WINDS

Summer came around early this year
And winter swung around soon after
The scent of spring was high with fear
The autumn crows call disaster

Chorous:
The North wind blows so cold
Chilling the warmth of my desire
And the whispered words we know
Tell of a future burned with fire

The music that now fills the street
Falls to the rhythm of marching
I find no comfort here
Not in this Or any other year

The stranger asked me what do you know
And just where are you going I told the truth
I just don't know If you don't mind I'll keep on going

(Chorous)


2. FALLING FROM THE TREE

Well I fell down from the tree of life
Hit the branches on the way
Way down to the root
Found what's been bothering me
And I'll tell you
If you can hear above the din
I just can't get back to where I've been

If I ever found all that I wanted
I've travelled the world all the way round
If you ever gave me all I ever wanted
I'd travel the world all the way round

But I just can't get back to where I've been

Cos I know a place and I want to be there
I read it in the poems on the way down
There it lies
The unchecked country
Far beyond the spectacle of plains

But I just can't get back to where I've been

Well I fell down from the tree of life
Hit the branches on the way
Way down to the root
Found what's been bothering me
And I'll tell you
If you can hear above the din
I just can't get back to where I've been

But I just can't get back to where I've been

What a beautiful dream
These are beautiful dreams


3. PRETTY TARGET

Since you came along
High above the scene
You've taken all the worry out of me
You brought a change
That chemicals can't find
I'm no longer thinking that I'm living in a medium time

I won't let you down
No I won't let you down
You're such a pretty target for this world to kick around
I won't let you down
No I won't let you down
Not since you dragged me from my hole in the ground

Well I've smoked the world
And I've drunk dry the sea
Devoted to my mirror which I could never see
Then you came along oh so prettily
And in the twist of a year I was living in a dream

And I won't let you down
No I won't let you down
You're such a pretty target for this world to kick around
I won't let you down
No I won't let you down
Not since you dragged me from my hole in the grand


4. COME ON

It's an open invitation
Everybody's free to come
Try to solve the situation
The four corners have been undone
And it's no mystery
Just a thin line in the sand
Never fails to frighten me
When you don't understand

Come on, come on, come on
Come and share a smoke with me
We'll try to make a plan
It's all so tense you see
In every nation, every land
And it's no mystery, man-made clouds block the sun
It never fails to frighten me that these things can't be undone

Come on, come on and see
Come on and see the love
Come on, come on and see
Come on and see the love
Come on

Now you hold your breath and wait
To see how it turns out in the end
I know it's hard to keep your patience
But you know the message has been sent
And it's no mystery
Every nation
Every land
Open up your eyes and see
Before it all gets out of hand

Come on, come on and see
Come on and see the love......


5. POUR

Pour some metal on your heart my dear
The puzzle is nearing its end
Pour some metal on your heart my love
The destruction of the world is at an end

I've seen all of the hiding places
Those written in style
I've seen all of the shameless faces
Wearing a smile
So believe me when I tell you
They've been lying to you

Pour some blue into your eyes my dear
Obscure the edges of your sight
Go on pour that blue into your eyes my love
When you're facing the cavalcade of the night

There's always one in a million faces
With a destiny smile
Dragging us down to nameless places
For the sake of your style
So believe me when I tell you
They've been lying to you

So pour some metal on my heart
And pour some blue into your eyes

I've seen all of the hiding places
Where destiny smiles
And I've seen all those shallow faces
Looking scared for a while
So believe me when I tell you
They've been lying to you


6. ASPECTS OF SPIRIT

You're walking that well-healed ground
Upon a fragile course
The Gin Lane talk has been getting you down
Cos the hero of Blake could not be found
And there's a lot of faking going down

The smoke that clouded your eyes
Was a daily event
Those weren't ghosts they were only men
And the beauty that you sensed
Could heal all indifference

Beneath the cruel lives and the hard face
I can't believe what I have found
I touched the spirit
Of this ordinary town
And in the summer heat
Under crowded sheets
They were feathering their beds
I felt the spirit
Of this place we'd left for dead

Darkened streets for a guide
Search vainly for your sight
Tension rising on every side
You find comfort in its might
But that sun burns more than she lights

CHORUS

Further down in this town
You hear the common word of mouth
That back-street talk just a hollow sound
Cos the hero of Blake could not be found
And there's a lot of faking going down

CHORUS


7. WILD AS ANGELS

I remember it was warm like it used to be
Then still a child like I want to be
With heavy wings I can recall the freedom flown
That's now unknown

Sense of random
Wild as angels
This is the life that we have known

The waters of the deep they do recede
As if decided by global alchemy
With a heavy heart I can recall the freedom
That has flown That's now unknown

Sense of random
Wild as angels
This is the life that we have known

Please don't ask me what I do all day
You'll get no reply from me in the nicest way
With a heavy heart I can recall
The freedom that has flown
That's now unknown
Now unknown

Sense of random
Wild as angels
This is the life that we have known


8. BELIEVERS

Time after time you fail to agree
About the things to believe in
The thoughts of the ancients
Just couldn't be
Without changes in rhythm and time

If you put all the prophets
Mystics and saints
In one room together
There'd be so much more reason
Than ever was born
Out of all of the conflicts of time

Is anybody out there?
Is anybody out there going to hear the sound
Of a dipossessed voice?
Lend them your voice
Well I wouldn't mind
But you fail to agree
About the things that you're doing
The thoughts of the ancients
Just couldn't be
Without changes in context and time

Is anybody out there?
Is anybody out there?
Is anybody out there going to hear the sound
Of a dipossessed voice?
Lend them your voice

Fools and their leaders they have no doubts
The truth is they're believers
They'll stand and shout
In the courts of the deceivers
Let there be no more doubt
In the name of your justice and time

Is anybody out there?
Is anybody out there?
Is anybody out there going to hear the sound
Of a dipossessed voice?
Lend them your voice


9. A CHORUS LINE

Seized and charged and don't you know it
You were caught for a crime But you didn't do it
These city walls that call you stranger
Your surprise local death will bring answers

( Is there ) A chorus line wherever you go
Telling you you're right Messing with your reason
Clear blue skies wherever you go
Rivers of ice messing with your reason

Join the queue to stand in line
For second hand love and broken mind
Well the (?????) survivor knows it's time
When he's caught by a friend who's wading through wine

( Is there ) A chorus line wherever you go
Telling you you're right Messing with your reason
Clear blue skies wherever you go
Rivers of ice messing with your reason
Director's words comfort you
Telling you you're right Messing with your reason

( Is there ) A chorus line wherever you go
Telling you you're right Messing with your reason
Clear blue skies wherever you go
Rivers of ice messing with your reason
Director's words comfort you
Telling you you're right Messing with your mason


10. NOT WHAT WE WANTED

Now it sees that night is day
My uneasy focus has slipped away
Drunk from the poison cup
Brings sheer relief to me
Head full of the news
Twenty-first century

Bring along your old banjo
I want to hear you play
Gonna play an old sad song
To blow away the day
One that trips off the tongue
I wanna hear what you say
Everybody sing along
Now everybody pray

Because the fast time that we had
It wasn't what we wanted

Changing weather blows away
But the slaughter and the showbiz
These are here to stay


11. WAKE THE WORLD

Been sitting in silence safe inside four walls
Trying to remember the moment when we changed the rules
Do you take to your bed or do you take the cure
Been getting out of my head lately that's for sure

So tell me when are we gonna wake the world

Take a look around to see who's still listening
Found them swaddled in lies they find so comforting
The electric eye will always tell you so Don't want the truth around me, no I don't want to know

So tell me when are we gonna wake the world

You were right when you were young Could you ever see it all come undone You were brave when you were young Would you ever believe it could all come undone

So tell me when are we gonna wake the world

Don't want to get to a place I don't recognise
Where we've all bought the world But left with second prize
Dragged down by the words of a hollow song
Left in a state of selfish babylon

So tell me when are we gonna wake the world
