Behind The Lines
I held the book so tightly
in my hands,
saw your
picture, heard you call my name
There was
something strange, I could not look away
I wanted to be there, I wanted to
go
You gave me no warning
You gave no reason
But I was with
you
Right by your side
Give me the strength, and I will help you
They can try their hardest, cos they don't frighten me
It is written in the
book
It is hotter than I've known before, but I feel so cold,
and I don't know why
But if the fire within your heart can beat the storm
Then
I really believe, you could make it right
The time has come now
We
must show our feelings
But I'm looking right through you
And your heart is
empty
Whatever happened to you it's too late to change now
There's
nowhere you can run to, no place to hide
Oh you let me down!
...but
wait a minute, I don't understand
It's getting stronger, grab my hand
Don't
wanna leave you, don't wanna go
But I'm losing all control
Can't you see me slipping away?
I can only stay if you've the will to keep me here
It is
written in the book
Oh so many times since I've read those words
Just
waiting to see you, can you see me?
Duchess
Times were good,
She never thought
about the future, she just did what she would
But she really cared
About
her music, it all seemed so important then,
And she dreamed that every time
that she performed
Everyone would cry for more,
That all she had to do was
step into the light,
And everyone would start to roar.
And on the
road,
Where all but a few fall by the wayside on the grassier verge,
She
battled through
Against the others in her world, and the sleep, and the
odds.
But now everytime that she performed
Everybody cried for
more,
Soon all she had to do was step into the light,
For everyone to start to
roar.
And all the people cried, you're the one we've waited for.
But
time went by
It wasn't so easy now, all uphill, and not feeling so strong.
Yes
times were hard,
Too much thinking 'bout the future and what people might
want.
An then there was the time that she performed
When nobody
called for more
And soon everytime she stepped into the light,
They really let
her know the score.
But she dreamed of the times when she sang all her
songs
And everybody cried for more,
When all she had to do was step into
the light
For everyone to start to roar.
And all the people cried, you're the one
we've waited for.
Guide Vocal
I am the one
who guided you this far,
All you know and all you feel.
Nobody must know
my name
For nobody would understand,
And you kill what you
fear.
I call you for I must leave,
You're on your own until the
end.
There was a choice but now it's gone,
I said you wouldn't
understand,
Take what's yours and be damned.
Man Of Our Times
I'm one of many, I speak for the rest but I don't
understand
Tonight tonight, oh tonight, tonight
He brings another day another
night, another fight
Well there's another day done and there's another gone
by
He's a man of our times a man of our times
Tonight tonight, oh he's
burning bright
He's a man of our times, he's a man of our times, ooh, ooh,
ooh.
And in the beating of your heart there is another beating heart
All
at once I can see what we do,
Me into me and you into you
Me into me and
you into you
Tonight, tonight, oh he's s burning bright
Everyone is on their
feet cos he is out, out on the street
There's another day done and there's another
gone by.
No more me into me and you into you
Tonight tonight, oh he's
burning bright.
Man of our times, he's a man of our times
He's a man of
our times, ooh, ooh, ooh.
And in the beating of your heart, there is another
beating heart
Man of our
times...
Misunderstanding
There must be
some misunderstanding
There must be some kind of mistake
I waited in the
rain for hours
You were late
Now it's not like me to say the right
thing
But you could've called to let me know
I checked your number twice,
don't understand it
So I went home
Well I'd been waiting for this
weekend
I thought that maybe we could see a show
Never dreamed I'd have
this feeling
But seeing you is believing
That's why I don't know
why
You didn't show up that night
There must be some
misunderstanding
There must be some kind of mistake
I was waiting in the
rain for hours
You were late
Since then I've been running around
trying to find you
I went to the places you always go
I rang your home but
got no answer
Jumped in my car, I went round there
Still don't believe
it
He was just leaving
There must be some misunderstanding
There
must be some kind of mistake.
Heathaze
No cloud, a sleepy calm,
Sunbaked earth that's cooled by gentle
breeze,
And trees with rustling leaves,
Only endless days without a
care,
Nothing must be done.
Silent as a day can be,
Far-off sounds
of others on their chosen run
As they do all those things they feel give life some
meaning,
Even if they're dull.
Time to stop this dreaming, must rejoin
the real world
As revealed by orange lights and a smoky
atmosphere.
The trees and I are shaken by the same winds but
whereas
The trees will lose their withered leaves,
I just can't seem to let them
loose.
And they can't refresh me those hot winds of the south.
Feel like
an alien, a stranger in an alien place.
Now the light is fading
fast,
Chances slip away, a time will come to pass
When there'll be
none,
Then addicted to a perfumed poison,
Betrayed by its aftertaste,
We shall lose the wonder and find nothing in return.
Many are the substitutes but
they're powerless on their own.
Beware the fisherman who's casting out his
line
Into a dried up river bed,
But don't try to tell him 'cos he won't believe
you.
Throw some bread to the ducks instead, it's easier that way.
Feel like an
alien, a stranger in an alien place.
Turn It On Again
All I need is a TV show, that and the
radio
Down on my luck again, down on my luck again
I can show you I can
show you some of the people in my life
I can show you I can show you some of
the people in my life
It's driving me mad just another way of passing the
day
I, I get so lonely when she's not there
I ...
You're just another
face that I know from the TV show
I have known you for so very long I feel you
like a friend
Can't you do anything for me, can I touch you for a while
Can I
meet you another day and we will fly away
I can show you I can show you
some of the people in my life
I can show you I can show you some of the people
in my life
It's driving me mad it's just another way of passing the day
I, I get
so lonely when she's not there
I ...
Turn it on, turn it on, turn it on
again
Turn it on, turn it on, turn it on again I can see another face
Turn it on,
turn it on, turn it on again I can see another face
Turn it on, turn it on, turn it on
again
Alone Tonight
There's nothing
here that I can understand
And no one cares I'm a lonely man
I touch your
face and I don't know why
I call your name but you're going by
Now I'm
alone again.
I have no name for each and every day
Until the year is
done and fades away
There's a time in between the two
The old years gone by
but it's not the new
And I,
I know that I'll be all
Alone again,
alone again tonight oh I'm
Alone again, alone again tonight oh I'm
Alone
again, it seems to me that every time I try to change
Say that you're say that
you'll
Help me reach the other side
When the morning comes the sun is
out
And warms me up again
What a funny world it is for me
And all I'll
never be
It's not enough, it's not enough
This feeling I'm feeling
inside
Oh I know it I know tonight that I'll be
On my own again, alone
again tonight
Oh I'm alone again, alone again tonight
Oh I'm alone again,
it seems to me that everytime I try to change
Say that you'll, say that
you'll
Help me reach the other side
Help me please cos I know I'm gonna
be
On my own again alone again tonight...
Cul-De-Sac
Wake up now, this is the time you've waited for.
Far
below, where shadows fester as they grow,
An army thousands strong, obsessed
by right and wrong,
Sense their time is coming near.
So they turn
towards the light from their region of the night,
Marching on and on,
They
near the air, it won't be long.
You know you're on the way out,
It's just a
matter of time.
You thought you'd rule the world forever,
Long live the king,
don't spare the loser.
After all, you're not what you thought you were at
all.
You're just a natural fact, another cul-de-sac
On nature's hard unfeeling
trail.
And all those dreams of old will be stories left untold,
Cut off in your
prime, extinct until the end of time.
Now the host emerges, a shadow
starts to fall.
Not one knows what hit them, none can see at all.
Even as the
end approaches still they're not aware,
How can you fight a foe so
deadly
When you don't even know it's there?
And now that the job is almost
done
Maybe some escape, no, not even one.
Please Don't Ask
Please don't ask me how I feel, I feel
fine
Oh I cry a bit, don't sleep too good, but I'm fine
When can I see
you?
When can I touch you?
Again and again I ask myself was I
wrong?
Oh but time's a healer, and heaven knows I've been strong
Maybe we
could try
Maybe we could work this time
I can remember when it
was easy to say I love you
But things have changed since then, now I really can't
say if I still do
But I can try
I know the kids are well, you're a mother
to the world
But I miss my boy
I hope he's good as gold
But
enough of me, tell me how are you? You look good
Oh you've lost some weight I
can see, your hair looks nice,
you look good
Maybe we should try, don't say
it! I know why
I can remember when it was easy to say I love
you
But things have changed since then, now I really can't say if I still do
But
I can try
I know the kids are well, you're a mother to the world
But I
miss my boy
I hope he's good as gold
Duke's Travels (lyrics same as Guide Vocal)
I am the one who guided you this
far,
All you know and all you feel.
Nobody must know my name
For
nobody would understand,
And you kill what you fear,
And you fear what
you don't understand.
I call you for I must leave,
You're on your own
until the end.
There was a choice but now it's gone,
I said you wouldn't
understand,
Take what's yours and be damned.
Duke's End (Instrumental)
