Calling all
stations Can anybody tell me, tell me exactly where I am I've lost all sense of
direction Watching the darkness closing around me Feeling the cold all
through my body That's why I'm calling all stations In the hope that someone
hears me A single lonely voice
I feel the sensation
disappearing There's a tingling in my arms And there's a numbness in my
hands
All the broken promises All my good intentions don't add up to
very much And I realise whatever happened, whatever happened I
remember all the moments that I've wasted in my life All the things I was always
going to do Why is it now, when it's too late That I finally realise what's
important to me To think that everything that's dear to me
And is always in my
heart Could so easily be taken
And it's tearing me apart Going over and over
in my mind I relive it one second at a time
Calling all stations Can
anybody tell me, tell me exactly where I am How different things look when you're
all on your own Watching the darkness closing all around me
All around
me And I long for the feeling
Of your arms to remind me Of everything that's
dear to me
And is always in my heart Could so easily be taken
And it's tearing me
apart Going over and over in my mind I relive it one second at a
time Don't you know there's never been a moment When I haven't had
the thought That everything that's dear to me
And is always in my heart Could
so easily be taken
And it's tearing me apart Going over and over in my mind I
relive it one second at a time
Congo
You say that I put
chains on you But I don't think that's really true But if you want to be free
from me You gotta lose me in another world
Send me to the Congo I'm
free to leave There's always somewhere anybody can lead Send me to the
Congo you have to believe You can do it if you wanna just do what you
please
Like a soldier ant I will wait for the signal to act To take a
walk right through the door If you don't want me here any more
Send me
to the Congo I'm free to leave There's always somewhere anybody can
lead Send me to the Congo you have to believe You can do it if you wanna
just do what you please
Into my heart you came
And gave a whole new
meaning to my life Into my world you brought a light
I thought it never would go
out
Send me to the Congo I'm free to leave There's always somewhere
anybody can lead Send me to the Congo you have to believe You can do it if
you wanna just do what you please
I would never be the one to say
you had no reason To want me somewhere else far far away
But someday you may understand someday you will see
That someone who would die for you is all I've ever been
Congo the Congo, if that's how it's got to be,
Congo the Congo, if that's what you want from me.
Shipwrecked
I'm a million miles from anywhere, where can I
be Somewhere out on the ocean Just take a look out at the horizon, what can
you see There's nothing there for me
I feel shipwrecked, I might as
well be shipwrecked I'm helpless and alone, drifting out to sea I can't believe
what you said to me
Even standing on the corner of a busy city street I
still feel so lonely Why do you say you wanna be with me But the next day say
you don't
I'm shipwrecked, I might as well be shipwrecked I'm
helpless and alone drifting out to sea I can't believe what you said to
me Without you I feel shipwrecked But I can't let it show A million
miles away from anywhere
Is it my imagination Or is it
getting darker, are the waves getting higher I'm a million miles from
anywhere A million miles from anything I know
You know that's why
I'm shipwrecked I might as well be shipwrecked I'm helpless and alone
drifting out to sea I can't believe what you said to me You know that's why
I'm shipwrecked, shipwrecked Losing my direction Please come and rescue
me
Shipwrecked, Shipwrecked, Shipwrecked
Alien Afternoon
Woke up in the morning staggered out of bed Thought about getting back again but went
downstairs instead. Read the daily paper have to know the truth, Slammed the
door as I ran outside, looked at my watch and cried Gotta get to work on
time Gotta get to work on time.
Then the sky turned a deeper
blue, Not a cloud as the sun shone through. But all around rain kept falling to
the ground, The wind was blowing but the trees didn't make a sound. Just
another alien afternoon Just another alien afternoon.
Time that I was
leaving while there's still a chance, Before I start believing in what I see or
hear. Nothing here to keep me, nothing anywhere, Gotta get out pack my bags
before I go insane, Gotta get away in time Gotta get away in
time.
Then the sky turned from blue to green, Took on colours I have
never seen, Then a sound started ringing in my ears, I heard voices but in truth
there's nobody there. Just another alien afternoon Just another alien
afternoon.
To be there back where I belong. To feel again the wind upon
my face, To see again all that I took for granted All that I left and
everything I knew
We are home
We are your home
We are all your home
Not another alien afternoon
Never more to go wandering Never leaving my world
behind.
There was never a reason
To leave my heart and my home
behind, Where I was born is where I should be now. I would never be
lonely I would never be sad again.
I wanted to go anywhere, I wanted
to see how strange it could be, Nothing would ever take me away again. Never
more to go wandering Never leaving my world behind
Not About Us
A little piece of something Falling gently down down down No one understands
you like I do
I'd rather be beside you Everything we know so
well Tell me what you feel now Show me what you think of it
It's
not about us anymore It's all about the reasons
That we think we're fighting
for It's not about hate
It's not about pain we always feel I know we have our
problems
But we're not the only ones It's not about you it's not about
me It's not about anger
It's more about the loneliness we feel
How can I
begin to
Ask for some forgiveness For all that we have taken There's nothing
left now
Just a little piece of something Falling gently down down
down No one understands you no no Like I do There's nothing left
now
It's not about us anymore It's all about the reasons
That we think
we're fighting for It's not about hate
It's not about pain we always feel I know
we have our problems
But we're not the only ones It's not about you it's not about
me It's not about anger
It's more about the loneliness we feel
It's not
about us It's not about hate It's more about the loneliness we feel
It's not about anger It's not about wanting I know we have our
problems But we're not the only one
If That's What You Need
Talking makes us human that's what I was
told So why do I find it so difficult to let my feelings unfold Had I the
courage to tell you I'd promise you this
If that's what you need I'll be
the river I'll be the mountain always beside you If that's what you need I will
be stronger I will be braver than ever before
When you came along and
turned it all around I promised myself I wouldn't tell you Until we stood on
solid ground Holding the candle between us I'll tell you this
If that's
what you need I'll be the river I'll be the mountain always beside you If that's
what you need I will be stronger I will be braver than ever before
And if
there's any kind of danger I hear you calling out my name You can follow in
my footsteps And I will lead you safely back again
I never understood
you however hard I tried But it took me a while until I realised That all
the problems were mine Holding you nearer to me to tell you this
If
that's what you need I'll be the river I'll be the mountain always beside you If
that's what you need I will be stronger I will be braver than ever before And
when things go wrong I'll be your concience there to remind you all of your
life When you go wrong
I'll be the reason you'll be protected all of your days.
The Dividing Line
There's always been a dividing line
But you
choose, you choose, yes you choose not to see it And then you wonder why you
fall It cuts through the heart of every city If you climb to the top of the
highest building You can see where it 'cause the streetlights stop
The colours start to
change You hear a voice inside you Not the words that you wanted to
hear Not the things that you wanted to see
In the
comfort and safety of your own home Remember those outside in the cold
And the wind and the rain And take in your hands a little ray of light And turn it into a
beam that pierces the darkness of the night
There has always been a dividing
line But you choose, you choose, yes you choose not to see it Sometimes we
believe if we close our eyes
The rain might wash it away That's why we stumble
and we fall Not the words that you wanted to hear Not the things that you
wanted to see
When everything that you hold dear to
you Has finally faded away from your life And the last cold ray of sunshine
slowly disappears Round the corner of the building And leaves you
alone When darkness covers the city and the streets are silent too What
will you turn to
Uncertain Weather
A day of uncertain weather Captured in a frame
forever, A face in a faded photograph.
He must have had a
life, Maybe with a family And people who meant everything to him.
A sinner,
a saint, a soldier. Caught up in a war he never
Had a chance to start or build a
life.
All gone long ago Leaving no trace,
Disappearing like smoke in the
wind, To become just a face without a name, Leaving no trace
Disappearing
like smoke in the wind.
Hopes and fears, important plans,
Forgotten
memories. Footsteps fading in the sand, Schemes and dreams small and
grand
Nothing left to see, Footsteps fading in the sand.
Someone
who casts a shadow
Maybe just a lazy man, Doesn't make much difference now
it's true.
A day of uncertain weather Captured in a frame forever, A face in
a faded photograph.
All gone long ago Leaving no trace,
Disappearing
like smoke in the wind. To become just a face without a name One more to
add to the total Of those never heard of again.
Yes he's gone
Just a face
without a name. Leaving no trace,
Disappearing like smoke in the wind.
Small Talk
Don't
talk back to me, don't talk back to me Don't talk back to me, don't
talk
Going round in circles, hearing too many points of view Just words
to tire me out, small talk I could do without I would be amazed if you returned
to see things my way Now that you've been disrespectful to my sense of
pride
Isn't it a shame that you were lying when you said to me I was the only one, you and I were meant to be I expect you'll never
really feel the way that I do All of this is with regret, I'm sure you will
agree
Say something to me, anything at all I want you to mean what you
say I've seen all I want to see, and you mean the world to me
I've lived
for each moment to be, with you, with you, with you
Small talk, small
talk, small talk, small talk
You say I don't talk enough, that
applies to both of us Don't try to sound me out, something I could do
without So much goes on inside your head, I often wonder Have you heard
enough to know, there's nothing left to say
Say something to me, anything at
all I want you to mean what you say I've seen all I want to see, and you
mean the world to me I've lived for each moment to be, with you, with you, with
you
Small talk, small
talk, small talk,
It's all I ever
hear Small talk
There Must Be Some Other Way
You're no longer part of my life I
must remind myself again, Too much has happened to us to cause each other
pain. It's over now, there's too much guilt to share Once there would have
been a time for talking and learning,
There must be some other
way To get where we have to go. There must be some other way, Please
show me another way. Once it would have been so easy to do what we have to
do, There must be some other way, Please show me another way.
Are
we no more than parts in a play Letting other people, strangers say our
lines? To think it should come to this after all these years: What was mine and
what should stay behind. Once there would have been a time of sharing,
of caring,
There must be some other way To get where we have to
go. There must be some other way, Please show me another way. Once it
would have been so easy to do what we have to do,
There must be some other way, Please show me another
way.
There's nothing much left to say, We have said it
once and said it all again. This time we have gone too far, it could never be the
same, It's time to carry on create new lives. Once we promised we would stay
together forever,
There must be some other way
To get where we have to go.
There must be some other way,
Please show me another way.
Once it would have been so easy to do what we have to do,
There must be some other way, Please show
me another way.
One Man's Fool
As
the buildings crumble, tumble to the ground And the dust-filled smoke rises in the
air, You know that somebody somewhere looks with pride, they're
satisfied.
To all who think they know To everyone that knows that they're
right,
D'you ever wonder why D'you never ask the question even in the depths
of night?
Now as the daylight fading ends another day, For too many life
will never be the same And it is all for a reason they will never
understand.
To all who think they know To everyone that knows that
they're right, D'you ever wonder why D'you never ask the question even in
the depths of night?
And on the morning after do you realise, See the
ruined faces and their ruined lives, Inside your head do you never have the
thought a moment of doubt?
To all who think they know
To everyone that knows that they're right,
D'you ever wonder why
D'you never ask the question even in the depths of night
There are only dreams one like any other.
What means the earth to one or few means nothing to another,
There are only dreams like any other.
Drawing lines upon the
sand, on the land, on the sea, Then dying to defend them seems quite meaningless
to me.
But don't you know what means the earth to some or only one Can mean
just nothing nothing nothing to another.
There are only dreams like any other.
There are only differences, worth living but not dying for.
One man's joy makes another man weep Nothing you can do is ever
gonna change it. One man's saint is another man's fool, One man's hot is
another man's cool.
And when the war is over, won, Will there be peace
for evermore?
Statues carved right out of stone, out of wood, made from
gold, Praying for their mercy that won't save their soul.
Don't you know
what means the earth to some or only one
Can mean just nothing nothing nothing
to another.
There are only dreams like any other, There are only hopes
and beliefs one like any other, Worth living
but not dying for, Living but not dying for not killing for. There are only
dreams like any other like any other.
To all of those that think that they
know All I can say yes all I can say,
One man's joy makes another man
weep Nothing you can do is ever gonna change it. One man's saint is another
man's fool, One man's hot is another man's cool.
