My life has been kind as I witness others fall Standing on the edge of time to hear the distant call But what if I could change anything Open my mind by tuning in To the music of the Earth What if I found the ancient ones Calling the gods as it begun What’s that knowledge worth And I could be master of everything I see They would worship me And I, I could rule the world With all the secrets known I could stand alone Feelings without meanings confusion in the air Changing rearranging the order everywhere So I could end the everwar Tyrants and despots would be no more We would live in peace Land and the sea are clean again Birds and the beasts are free and then Death of Earth can cease ​ And I could be master of everything I see They would worship me And I, I could rule the world With all the secrets known I could stand alone ​ All the secrets known ​ So follow as I call Together we stand tall Cos we can change it all So stand with me or fall

He’s living his life for the moment Just kicking about in his space He’s often indifferent To the trouble he makes Hey, but it’s all right He’s reached an accord Where blame is blameless And less is always more Nothing comes too easy But easy comes to fast Happiness is a journey Not a destination passed Takes him time to reckon it Youth runs the double edge Sharper still the promised land That resides within his head Open arms and wonder Emotions wear thin on his sleeve A carrier of conscience What you have is what you believe Nothing comes too easy But easy comes too fast Happiness is the journey Not a destination passed So give it up for the moment Because we got to make it last Holding onto the real thing Is an everlasting task In hindsight we might change so much We’d open doors that were never closed Another path some other road Changes come and we turn on a whim Our demons by our side The angels let go ​ Nothing comes too easy But easy comes too fast Happiness is the journey Not a destination passed So give it up for the moment Because we got to make it last Holding onto the real thing Is an everlasting task

Freedom 07:52
Free I can get away I can ride the trail for another day The hangman’s noose will seem far away ​ Days seem to come and go My eyes can’t see and my mind don’t know When I kiss the sky I can leave the show ​ Freedom Christ are you looking down My thirst is strong can you help me now The lizard’s eye sees me stumble on ​ One dead horse and I’m on my own No snap of rope or a pauper’s stone So dry my skin and bleach my bones Freedom

What if our science had lied to hide the truth about our place And we’re the visitors an alien race Travelled the universe through light and dark and time and space The shepherds flock we hold the coded trace Will we ever know will we ever know the truth Will we ever know will we ever know the truth So the cosmic farmers harvest us for music art and love Look up to the skies you’ll see them up above So far advanced that their logic don’t allow them to create And so they farm us for beauty that we make Will we ever know will we ever know the truth Will we ever know will we ever know the truth So we start our journey to the stars past the moon and on past Mars Jupiter and Saturn are now gone Pluto and then Voyager and on Will we ever know Will we ever know the truth (Robot: We are the aliens we must travel through space and time we must find our fathers the creators of the human race let the cosmic journey begin) On the good ship Battenberg Captain Cake is who we serve Orion’s Belt and Sirius B The Mighty Ra in time for tea ​ Will we ever know Will we ever know the truth

Seven Days 06:49
Looking up looking down I can see the faces following me I own the stage I control everything your every emotion Make you feel young or look at your age Laugh with me cry with me wipe back the tears Think of mortality if I should die Can you guess who I am good guy or bad guy All is revealed you knew all the time ​ And I’ll dance with the ghosts of the past‘ til the dwarves lock me up in a box And I’ll kill the puppets with axes and saws ‘Til the puppet master carries me off And we all had a good time some of us bought chocolate and sweets And we all had a fun time but some of us like sinister treats All we had was seven days ‘Til the walls fell down All we had was seven days ‘Til the generals came round All we had was seven days ‘Til the soldiers brokeloose All we had was seven days ‘Til our necks found the noose Spectors and inspectors Trainers and their trains Honey pots and money pots Draining out their drains Mind games and rhyme games Savilles in a row now then now then For a medal and a bow ​ All we had was seven days ‘Til the walls fell down All we had was seven days ‘Til the generals came round All we had was seven days ‘Til the soldiers brokeloose All we had was seven days ‘Til our necks found the noose

Rising Tide 06:39
Trying to escape from the rising tide Brothers and sisters are by my side Senses tell me I’m out of time Trying to run when you cannot walk Trying to shout when you cannot talk Holding on for a second chance Trying to escape from the downward slide Easier still just to run and hide Senses tell me I’m doing fine ​ But oh it’s along way A long way from home And oh it’s a long way ​ Trying to escape from the hurt inside A thousand wrongs and the rights divide Senses tell me I’m out of time Praying hard for the strangers glance A brief connection that hope demands Senses tell me to search inside ​ But oh it’s along way A long way from home And oh it’s a long way We hold fear in such high grace The rising waters sooth our pain A momentary change of season Without hope in such a place The rising tide will come again A momentary lapse of reason But oh it’s along way A long way from home And oh it’s a long way

Rain 04:21
I’ve felt the rain fall on my face I’ve climbed a mountain to a secret place I’ve heard the waves break on the shore And been to islands where no one has gone before But I can’t begin to tell you There’s nothing I can say I can’t describe the feeling that I’m feeling Seeing you today I’ve seen the sun rise in the east I’ve sat with elders invited to the feast I’ve seen an eagle flying high I’ve watched a comet race across the sky ​ But I can’t begin to tell you There’s nothing I can say I can’t describe the feeling that I’m feeling Seeing you today And as the daylight wakes me What wonders will it bring From the simplest pleasure to a wondrous thing And with this time we’re given We all have got a role To find the wonder in another’s soul ​ And all of mankind’s grand designs cannot compare And all that nature can provide cannot prepare ​ So I can’t begin to tell you There’s nothing I can say I can’t describe the feeling that I’m feeling Seeing you today

Bigger Lie 12:30
There’s a hint that these centuries of pain Have been played out before but all in vain And when you look back at what has come to pass It’s clear to see that nothing lasts Oh what a waste of time Oh what a waste of time We need a bigger lie Sometimes when you watch someone breathing their last You can see life passes by all too fast Though your sadness makes you hope for something more The truth is that death has closed the door ​ Oh what a waste of time Oh what a waste of yours and mine We need a bigger lie Why can’t we see that whilst watching TV we are just dithering Or wasting away the best hours of the day sat at a desk One day there’s a knock and you realise with shock that your snivelling Has all been for nought and that rap at the door was your call to rest Sitting here next to myself It’s all become clear to me The passage of time whilst somehow sublime Seems a farce and nothing ever lasts Our shadows like hounds, hunting us down Sent to follow us, they want to consume Though seemingly unstoppable and most highly improbable Our misplaced faith still shines through ​ Oh what a waste of time Oh what a waste of time We need a bigger lie If JC’s so good where the fuck’s his next book when’s the movie release The last one was cool but do you think that we’re fools it was hardly War and Peace We enjoyed the last show but that was some time ago and that shit has grown old At least with Thomas Hardy though the plot was kinda tardy but OK ‘til his wife got sold We put a man on the moon we need a bigger lie It was a weather balloon we need a bigger lie It doesn’t feel any pain we need a bigger lie We’re not controlling the rain we need a bigger lie The towers fell as you saw we need a bigger lie There’s no one above the law we need a bigger lie We didn’t shoot JFK we need a bigger lie We’ll find a cure one day we need a bigger lie No one’s been here before we need a bigger lie No other planets we’re sure we need a bigger lie They were all built by man we need a bigger lie There’s no hidden plan we need a bigger lie
