Who's Taking Over?
03:55
|
|||
You're taking over my soul
You want control of it all
You've been pushing into the heart of me
Someone's got to tell you, someone's got to make you see
That is why I'm saying
Who's taking over, who's taking over?
Who's taking over, who's taking over?
You're taking over the universe
Your crossing the line between what's good and what's worse
You've been pushing and shoving your way to the top
Someone's got to tell you, someone's got to make you stop
That is why I'm saying
Who's taking over, who's taking over?
Who's taking over, who's taking over?
I can only keep telling you
Who else can make you see?
There's no point in pushing and shoving
Your way through me
That is why I'm saying
Who's taking over, who's taking over?
Who's taking over, who's taking over?
Who's taking over?

Direction

So much more we could do in a lifetime
So much fire until it fades away
So much life if we could only seize it
And live a decade in a day
Salting time and dreams away
We’re saving them for another day
All the while life drains away
And precious time
Because we’re going in the wrong direction
Working overtime again
There’s no time left for reflection
It don’t have to be this way
Working hard every day
We need more time for love
Go downtown and don’t forget the code
Go downstairs and find your place to play
Go down on your latest anaesthesia
And waste a decade in a day
Playing out your fantasy
Reality drifts further away
If you wait for love to come your way
You’ll be waiting forever
Because you’re going in the wrong direction
Party overtime again
There’s no time left for reflection
It don’t have to be this tight
Playing hard every night
We need more love for time
If I could savour every moment
Then I could live my life for sure
Procrastination is the torment
And I don’t believe that I can find the cure
Waiting here for just another lifetime
Waiting for someone to turn the page
Waiting to begin another chapter
And find a decade in a day
No one else can live your day
It’s only yours to give away
All the while time drains away
While you’re waiting for love
But you’re going in the wrong direction
Working overtime again
No time left for reflection
It don’t have to be this way
Working hard every day
We need more time for love

Turn to Gold
05:11
|
|||
I lie here every morning ‘bout a quarter to five
Counting down the hours, waiting for the moment to arrive
That’s when your loving light turns to gold
I listen to the music blowing ‘cross the bay
The city lost in night life, except us we are here to stay
That’s when your loving light turns to gold
Waiting through the darkest times
Till the first gleam of dawn when your love light shines
Turn to gold, turn to gold, never growing old, turn to gold
Somehow something happens mysteriously
I just have to hope that it will happen every morning to me
That’s when your loving light turns to gold
So much love and patience that I have to find
Sometimes I start to wonder if our love is just a figment of my mind
But then your loving light turns to gold
So many have passed me by
You knocked on my door, I don’t dare ask why
Turn to gold, turn to gold, never bought and sold, turn to gold
So much love have I found in your arms
That I never found before
I could live for a thousand years or more
Living only for these moments at the break of day
I lie here every morning, a quarter to five
Staring at the ceiling, waiting for the moment to arrive
That’s when your loving light turns to gold
Waiting through the evening, waiting through the day
Waiting through the night time, morning time celebrate
Turn to gold, turn to gold, never growing old, turn to gold, turn to gold, turn to gold, gold

You Can Never Get Home
04:05
|
|||
I remember what my father used to tell me
When I had just come into this world
"Every land I have combed as I've tried to find a home in my life, in my life"
I don't look for trouble
But it finds me all the same
How many times I've been burned, I have never learned this lesson in my life
You can never get home that way
You can try
No, no, never
You can never get home that way
It's the loneliest trail
I remember how my brother used to shout
Every night when he would fall asleep
"For so many years and through so many tears I'm still wandering, wandering"
I don't look for pleasure
But sometimes it finds me just the same
The less I desire, the less I require in my life, in my life
You can never get home that way
You can try
No, no, never
You can never get home that way
It's the loneliest trail
I remember the way it felt when I was seventeen
But somehow I have never learned to tell the fat years from the lean
I can never tell when life is good and when life is in between
I can never leave well enough alone when enough is all I need
And I never will be free from this longing
And I never can tell the people who are wronging me
If I ever find the place that I belong in, life can begin
I don’t look for temptation
But sometimes it finds me anyway
How many times I've been burned, I have never learned this lesson in my life until now
You can never get home that way
You can try
No, no, never
You can never get home that way
It's the loneliest trail
I’ve learned my lesson
I’ve learned my lesson
Call it, call it, call it, call it pain

The Limits of Love
06:36
|
|||
It’s so easy to live with the limits of love
As far away as the Northern lights and nearly as cold
Once we travelled beyond the limits of love
Far away, under the Northern lights, but love grew old
Old, older than the stars
Older than the memories we bring to the limits of love
Older than each night
That melts away, that floats away
Into the shelter, the shelter of each dawn
The safety only love can bring
It’s so easy to live with the limits of love
I never knew passion could die away but leave so much untold
Once we travelled beyond the limits of love
Never sure if love was here to stay, but love grows old
Old, older than the stars
Older than the fears that we bring to the limits of love
Older than our dreams
Dreams of ecstasy, dreams of desire
Oh but we turn as years go by
To the safety only love can bring
It’s so easy to live with the limits of love

Ancient Bones
05:29
|

So many days of ancient bones
I had no time to call my own
Wait for the message on the telephone
The one that says ‘I’m never coming home’
As soon as I can I’ll fly away
I don’t think I’ll ever come back someday
You’ve had me as your fetch and bring for far too long
You were lying in your bedroom
Telling me what tender flesh to bring
You were trying out your new broom
Suffer as the little children sing
But as the days of my life go by
Every day another sign that I have to fly away
You told me all the reasons for
‘Everyone’s different, but everyone’s a whore
No one else but you and I
Could ever understand the reason why’
You told me I’m indispensable
To keep our horizons un-fence-able
But I think it’s been indefensible for far too long
You were lying when you told me
That the same thing happens every day
I was crying, you consoled me
With the words only a guilty tongue could say
But every day of my life, I’m sinking
Even swallowing your honey can’t stop me thinking any more
Now it’s too many tears too late
When the moment came, I didn’t hesitate
I have to say that you taught me well
The blade and the shovel and the carousel
The ancient bones I’ll leave behind
The ancient bones for someone else to find
The ancient bones been buried there for far too long
You were lying in the basement
When we said our last farewells
Now I’ve shown you what that phrase meant
‘Ancient bones’ will suit you well
And as the days of your life fade away
No matter what you do, in the end we all fly away

Under the Heatwave
05:38
|
|||
Sitting here, waiting for the message on the radio
I can’t go until I get the word from the man
It’s a meltdown world and I'm sitting with my finger on the button
And I’m cheap and I’m lazy and I think I’m going to jump the gun
And I won’t see when the sky turns calico
And I don’t care, oh no
It’s so hot down here that even the water is burning
It’s so hot down here, I believe that the world has stopped turning
It’s so hot down here, it’s so hot down here
It’s so hot down here, it’s so hot down here
There might as well be no one in the world but me
Who needs company when you’re living under the heatwave
It’s a liquid world and I’m slipping down the throat of humanity
And I’m loose and I’m easy and I think I’m going to jump the gun
And I won’t see when the sky turns calico
And I don’t care, oh no
It’s so hot down here that even the water is burning
It’s so hot down here, I believe that the world has stopped turning
It’s so hot down here, it’s so hot down here
It’s so hot down here, it’s so hot down here
It’s so hot down here, it’s so hot down here
It’s so hot down here, it’s so hot down here
And I won’t see if the sky turns calico
And I don’t care, oh no
It’s so hot down here that even the water is burning
It’s so hot down here, I believe that the world has stopped turning
It’s so hot down here, it’s so hot down here
It’s so hot down here, it’s so hot down here
It’s so hot down here, it’s so hot down here
It’s so hot down here, it’s so hot down here

Across the Northern Sky
03:22
|
|||
When I fall into your loving arms
There's a kind of understanding
There's a message that there is so much love
More than we hoped to find
When I look into your loving eyes
There is nothing that I have to say
You know just how to bring out my love
Until we both can
Fly across the Northern sky
Through the heaven of the night
Till we reach the land of our dreams
There is so much love there
With the cool wind in our hair
Everything is just as it seems
When I listen to you breathe at night
I know these feelings will last more than overnight
Since the day you came into my life
Every day is new
There is nothing I am weary of
There is nothing that I lack in love
Only you can see so far inside my mind
And show me how to
Fly across the Northern sky
Through the heaven of the night
Till we reach the land of our dreams
There is so much love there
With the cool wind in our hair
Everything is just as it seems
Ooh, it's so enlightening, It's so much more than love
Still, it feels so frightening, I am wary of
But it’s so inviting in your glow
So much more than love, I know
When I fall into your loving arms
There's a message that there is so much love
More than we thought we’d find
There is nothing more for me to say
As long as I can feel this way
All you ever have to do is stay
And show me how to
Fly across the Northern sky
Through the heaven of the night
Till we reach the land of our dreams
There is so much love there
With the cool wind in our hair
Everything is just as it seems

Sidetracked
05:37
|
|||
We were on our way
Leaving everything behind
So much more to say
But we had the future on our minds
Was the vision clear?
Was the picture really righteous on the page?
No, we felt no fear
No trepidation and no rage
But we faltered
Still we tried to keep the promise
Conditions altered
Until we fall down, fall down
And we got sidetracked in time
Alone among the millions, you could read my mind
But we got sidetracked in time
The only explanation I can find
Now we’re all alone
This isn’t what we thought we’d planned
Trapped behind a stone
Trying to find a way back to where we used to stand
As the vision fades
You have to ask yourself, was it all illusion
It was a precision raid
But it ended up in nothing but confusion
And we faltered
Still we tried to keep the promise
Conditions altered
Until we fall down, fall down
And we got sidetracked in time
Alone among the millions, you could read my mind
But we got sidetracked in time
The only explanation I can find
So we’re stuck with a dream
The product of our own invention
There’s not much more that I can scream
We’ve said it all, leaving only good intentions
Don’t know where we went wrong
Perhaps we started from the wrong contention
The dream lingers on
There ain’t no cure, there’s only prevention
But remember
How we tried to keep the promise
Fan the embers
Until we fall down, fall down
And we got sidetracked in time
Alone among the millions, you could read my mind
But we got sidetracked in time
The only explanation I can find
It was the only destination that we had in our minds

Julio Dulce
05:28
|

Sweet July, I remember the day we met, it was
Sweet July, loving that I can’t forget
You and I, we only had a month of Summer
Sweet July, will you ever come again?
Sweet July, I remember the love we made
Afternoons, lying in the cool, dark shade
I’m so tired, tired of being on my own
Sweet July, I’m waiting here till Summer comes again
We could fly, wherever we would go, time would pass us by
Softest sighs, so much we could say only with our eyes
Following in your lead, I would softly brush against your skin
Following from our need, we would find the love that lay within
Like no love we’d found before
So much love, tangled up in pain that we didn’t see
The meaning of, till it was too late to set each other free
Following from that pain, I could feel you softly drift away
Standing in the rain, remembering the love that I thought was here to stay
Julio dulce, the love we had before
Julio dulce, I can recall
Julio dulce, it never came again
Julio dulce
So much in love that we could not believe
That we would always and forever love each other till the day we die
You were my twin but I was only a beginner
With a limited grasp of the realities of love
I’ll never be sure what came between you and me
Was it a self-destructive streak in our personalities that drove us apart?
Whisper these words when you remember our time:
‘No one ever touched me the way you did that sweet July’
(instr.)
Time goes by, still I look in vain for the reason why
In my life, I never had a time like sweet July
Following from that time, everyone I loved was compared to you
Following from that crime, the felony of wasted love, was there nothing we could do?
Julio dulce, I’ve never been the same
Julio dulce, since we lost what we had
Julio dulce, it never came again
Julio dulce
Sweet July, I remember the day we met
Sweet July, loving that I can’t forget
You and I, we only had a month of Summer
Sweet July, I’m waiting here till Summer comes…

Woken by the Rain
06:11
|
|||
I don’t get much say where my head goes these days
I don’t even know where the sun goes at night
Lately I’ve been down, living life in shades of brown
I don’t even know where the time goes
Then I was woken by the rain
Woken by the rain
Broken by the pain
Woken by the rain
I don’t seem to care about the clothes people wear
I don’t even worry as the seasons go by
I can see for miles, but only when the weather smiles
I don’t even know where the time goes
Still I was woken by the rain
Woken by the rain
Broken by the pain
Woken by the rain
Tell me when will it stop raining (x4)
Tell me when will it stop raining (x4)
I don’t hide away from the words people say
Lately I’ve been down to the fountain of age
I don’t save much time by knowing when I’ve crossed the line
And I don’t even know where the time goes
But I was woken by the rain
Woken by the rain
Broken by the pain
Woken by the rain
Woken by the rain, woken by the rain
Woken by the rain, hail, snow
Follow me everywhere I go, woken by the rain
In the time we spent together and the time we spent apart
There was too much time
Holding back the line, with too much time
Till I was woken by the rain…
There was too much time
Only trying to hold the line
Woken by the rain
Till I was woken by the rain…
