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
(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
(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
(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
(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
(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
