That's All 04:40
That’s All (Evans)
 
Monkey see, monkey do
 Why do we fear what is the truth?
 This talk of forever it’s just a lie ‘Cause we’re born to live, and we’re born to die

 That’s all…how could you think there was more? 
That’s all…why do you choose to ignore? 


Kneel before the rising sun 
Bless the souls of the hungry ones 
Preach of a love that overcomes 
Then civilise with a smoking gun That’s all…how could you think there was more? 
That’s all…is it so hard to walk tall? 


 Place your life in your own hands 
Everyone’s a sinner
 That’s all….time will be the winner 
That’s all …..That’s all

 Your popes, your priests
 Your saints, prophets and seers 
Gurus and sorcerers, they’re nothing more than brokers of fear
 Circumcised, sacrificed, hung, burnt, crucified
 Those countless millions had to die, for what are only words 
That’s all…how could you think there was more? 
That’s all…why do you choose to ignore? 
Place your life in your own hands
 Everyones a sinner 

That’s all…
Time will be the winner 
That’s all

You Never Said (Salkeld, Gilbert, Evans) In my head the wind is whistling Getting louder getting thicker Like the church bells call the vicar ‘Cause the clouds have blocked the sun Climbed a ladder it deceived me No more the world beneath me Got my parachute to save me But it was upside down You never said You never said I was the only one You never said Needed to be, wanted to be Your only one Well there’s that Poodle at the turnstile Wearing ribbons eating Pom Poms Smelling sickly sweet of oranges for you And there’s that man that makes decisions He says he’s heading for collisions Why am I fighting for a fate that’s not my own It was not my own You never said You never said I was the only one You never said Needed to be, wanted to be Your only one

Daily Dilemmas (Evans) I didn’t think it would be easy But then again I was quite hopeful too No looking back Full steam ahead Thought that would see me through And there’s no-one who could have told me Hard of hearing words just don’t get through No looking back Full steam ahead Hey what have I to lose? Yeah it’s a bit of a joke Sometimes I try to laugh too Maybe the writing’s on the wall But if it is I cannot see And I don’t give a damn no more If that’s the way it’s gonna be If I’m an optimist by nature Well there are those who say I’m just a fool I laugh at them, they laugh at me The feelings’ mutual And everyday it’s getting harder We talk about it getting better soon Another year has come and gone And there’s so much to do Yeah it’s a hell of a joke Sometimes I try to laugh too Maybe the writing’s on the wall But if it is I cannot see And I don’t give a damn no more If that’s the way it’s gonna be The way it’s gonna be The way it’s gonna be I can’t take much more And one more thing It’s pretty cold around here Summer’s come and gone in a day or two I haven’t seen the sun in years Maybe the writing’s on the wall But if it is I cannot see And I don’t give a damn no more If that’s the way it’s gonna be I don’t give a damn no more If that’s the way it’s gonna be

The Wonder 04:12
The Wonder (Salkeld, Gilbert, Evans) I was alone I was inspired I couldn’t stop I don’t know why I stood and gazed into the sand Beneath the burning stone Who are you? The colour red was in my eyes Who are you? Then the water starts to fly Who are you? The new born day was growing old Who are you? The wonder of it all Who are you? The wonder of it all….Stupified I fell into a golden cloud Its sails were turned against the sun The sound of voices could be heard But nobody was there Who are you? Taken to a foreign land Who are you? They spoke in tongues and held my hand Who are you? I wasn’t scared, I don’t know why Who are you? The wonder of it all Who are you? The wonder of it all….Mystified Fading memories rearranged I close my eyes And everything the same I was lying on the ground Shapeless sounds they cover me The shadows of the hidden chimes Are lighting up the way Who are you? I can feel the distant fire Who are you? Then the walls start to unfold Who are you? They melt into the universe Who are you? The wonder of it all Who are you? The wonder of it all….Mesmerised

This Damn Day (Salkeld, Evans) Too tired to get up, too tired to sit down Wander up the hallway And I wander into town What do you do, when you feel this way? When nothing seems right for the whole damn day Wanna be a winner Wanna have success Good times with my lover Good times with my friends But none of that matters When you feel this way Just wish you’d never woken up To this damn day I can’t put my finger on it No rhyme or reason why You’re mind it just doesn’t function And your body lags, it lags behind It’s not that I’m lazy No I’ve just got too much time Why can’t I change my mind Don’t even want to try Gotta shake this feeling Try and grab that high Shake off this depression Maybe have a damn good cry Tomorrow will be different Much better than today And I can put in the past This god awful day

What about me (Evans) Words Whispered in the air How I love to love you baby How I need to love you baby Words Curling as they fall How I need to love you baby How I want to love you baby I gave my love Gave my love I gave my heart Falling falling But there are times Love ’till I hear the words I hear the words What about me? What about me? What about me? What about me? What about me? Warmth As a fire glows It’s so easy with you baby Wrap my arms around you baby Light It’s so hard to find But it’s shining on you baby There is magic in you baby I gave my love Gave my love I gave my heart Falling falling But there are times Love ’till I hear the words I hear the words What about me? What about me? What about me? What about me? What about me?

Sister 03:59
Sister (Salkeld, Evans) Come back sister To the sky of lights Clouds are rolling near dear There’s never too much time Don’t cry sister That star was made for us To find the love that left our hearts So long ago Sister Long ago Long long time ago Long ago Long long time ago To be Sister To be Don’t go away To be Don’t go away Oh no Sister Look at me sister Can you see yourself? Shadows long Shadows lost My voice was never heard

Human Nature 03:23
Human Nature (Evans) Prices high we must buy Work our fingers to the bone Ten thousand years, long long time The destruction carries on All for one More for me Did you ever stop to wonder? There is no mystery There is only Human Nature Every time Breed at day Breed at night Rape the Earth and all that grows Love of love takes us to war Have whatever we desire We have fire, we can fly We can shoot the moon and over To be masters sublime That’s the way of Human Nature Every time All for one More for me Did you ever stop to wonder There is no mystery There is only Human Nature Every time

Happy 03:54
Happy (Evans) You’re so hurt I know that it’s breaking your heart Running scared You say that it’s torn you apart But the world keeps on turning And in time you’ll find peace of mind And you’ll realise it’s turning for you Maybe then you’ll see You were meant to be Happy In our lives This sadness it comes to us all Over time Well even the strongest must fall It’s so hard to hold back those tears That’s alright Let time dry your eyes And to know happiness You must know sorrow Maybe you’d agree You were meant to be Well it’s so hard to let go But he’s not worth it you’ll see You’re gonna be Happy When you’re troubles are over When the clouds have all disappeared There is love to be found It’s waiting for you Maybe then you’ll see You were meant to be Happy

Last Train 04:34
Last Train (Evans) And so goodbye No time for tears A final breath upon the waking hours Journey ends Where are you now? Where do you hide? Did you believe in what was touched or what was feared As you closed your eyes? Closed your eyes Our destination is unknown We ride the passages of time Searching for answers as we roam Maybe the Last Train I have dreams of shadows drawing near Oh so close to me now Their eyes can touch my fear I couldn’t run Spend our lives Racing time Speak of life and watch the hours disappear Waiting down the line Down the line You know you’re not the only one Who’s scared of being left behind But if tomorrow never comes You’ll miss the Last Train
