ii. Beyond that Door
Lucky Jim staggered through the corridor
His heart torn apart with grief
By the window lay the bouncers' victim
The body of the 'Thief'
His head smashed through the window pane
As they'd thrown him out of play
There was blood on the glass
But the glass was smashed
And there shone the light of day
Lucky Jim bowed his head and wept
For the light and the pain were despair
Then he opened his eyes to the grass and the skies
But the Thief was no longer there
About to step out through the broken frame
The gambler heard the Thief call his name:
'The Casino is falling, its days at an end
For I came when you called me,
And now I call you
Friend -
You will come this way one day
I'll be here when you do
I have opened the doorway
But not just for you...
Now I send you to find
Those lost in their gambling
The deafened and the blind
If you fall by the tables
If you're cut by the cards
If they say you've been stealing
If you're shot by the guards
If you're flattened by tumblers
If you're crushed by the wheels
I'm before you
I'm with you
And remember
I know
I know how it feels
I know how it feels...'
iii. Overheard in Passing #3 (bouncers on the door)
'The punters 'ave got restless, it seems one of 'em escaped!
There's got to be a clampdown, unless the crud gets aped...'
'It seems to me that one who's free is the beginning of a trend -
It's too late now to disallow, the punters 'ave a friend...
'Oo knows - 'tween you 'an me,
I might even 'ave a go myself...'

Coburg - This City
05:21

|

|
The abstracted shapes
Of the people's thoughts
Different shops and pubs
All the cheap facades
It is all this city
It is all this city
Wind shaken trees
Half crumbling parks
The enquiring eyes
Fingers parting lace
It is all this city
It is all this city
Long straggling queues
Of the out of work
A baby sucking sweets
Dribbling down his quilt
It is all this city
It is all this city
All this city

Human Being
07:54

Tremulous and quivering such victims as there are
Contend with emotions under skin
Without wearing water wings
The strike against the stream
Hopelessly believing they might swim
Here they all come rushing down again
Here they all come rushing down again
Time has hardly swallowed up the evidence
How is it they say they did not know
That history grows up like a weed
Doctrine pinned upon it
Bars across the window destroy human being
Static mind solidifies
Can no longer flow
Up against it's borders and unable to pay
Much attention to...
Human being, human being
Human being, human being
When in doubt you turn to find a scapegoat on the wall
Gaze into the mirror begging pardon
If every time we tell a lie a little fairy dies
They must be building death-camps in the garden
Pacing back and forwards
Conscience in a box
Barred in from the sunlight getting pale
And losing every sense of...
Human being, human being
Human being, human being
The forces of oppression
Forge links around the earth
Ordering our faces to the floor
The wilful non-involvement
By hirelings of the crimes
Is futile and inhuman as before
The sum of our best efforts
Shouldn't lead us back to here
On the road to murder
Where we can no longer admit to any
Human needing, human feeling
Human living, human loving
Human fragile, human being

First New Day

How can we fight the diseases of the poor
When colour of a nation is reasoning for war
Men force your surrender, then ask you to believe
With the lives of many millions embroidered of their sleeves
And they say
Is this reason – a price to pay?
Give us reason – a first new day
Acid emotion – child of suicide
Bewilderment and hunger are hurting you inside
While hopes find protection in the sanctuary of life
Another voice is silenced in the quiet of the night
Is this reason – price to pay?
Give us reason – a first new day
This won't change
There's no point now
There's no fight left in you and me
It's not true
Don't believe it
You don't mean what you're trying to say
This love is only strong enough
If you can hide inside your heart
Just for a while
All breathe together, suffocate the fear
Let each of us in comfort share the pain, the tears, the years
Don’t let their hate be the dowry of a youth
Too humble for importance
Too honest for the truth
Is this reason – a price to pay?
Give us reason – a first new day
Give us reason – a first new day

Apathetic and Here, I watch myself glide from the sky,
Losing height and end up as something gone bump in the light
Which doesn’t desire to be dragged from the night:
But change is the heartbeat of life into life
Which trembling approaches the knife.
Redemption is costly there’s blood on the land
And all of us till it, it sticks to our hands
It seems to be bound up in our very glands;
It sucks all out wagon wheels into the slush
And falsifies our every blush.
The heart’s a thermometer, readings are odd
We’re from luke-warmer regions where Cain gives the nod
And we tread upon roads where our fathers have trod
We are maples and hapless and blown by the breeze
And we chatter of being at ease
Dreary me
We chatter of being at ease.

Melody fly like a seagull
Over a rhythm, over this 'C'
Enter the movement
Real and imagined
Listening together
Do we hear the same?
When you look beneath the surface
You will find
More to this than meets the eye
Turbulent times in our thinking
Growing is painful
Smiling through scars
Fear of indifference
Selfish or loving
I think it's a mixture
Well, it mixes in me
When you look beneath the surface
You will find
More to this than meets the eye
Trembling hearts mingle beatings
Our great adventure
Is living to love
Hurting and praying
Life and death weighing
Shallow and human
Touched by divine
When you look beneath the surface
You will find
More to this than meets the eye

The Bond - Rest Assured

Try me in the fire and melt me down
Test me as you will
Re-design my life to be the mould
You want me to fill
In you I have a complete confidence
I've never known before
In you I have a complete confidence
In you I rest assured
Break me if it's right to save my life
You know what is best
Give me what you know I need to serve
Take away the rest
Chorus
Make a roaring flame of my desire
To be in your employ
Here into your hands I place my life
My sorrow and my joy
Chorus

Deep In The Heartland
03:50
|
|

On the long night watch you are surrounded by darkness
And your spirits feel tired
So many around you deeply down in the dream world
Of the skins they have acquired
Walking along the lines and contours where the pathway goes
You stumble on non-places in the darkness and bang my nose
Deep in the heartland, the painted window is breaking
Deep in the heartland, the house that holds it is shaking
Solid things seem to disappear down the grid they pour
If references lead us nowhere, what are they for?
(Chorus)
It’s falling apart
Big men drive you crazy, put their lies inside your head
The voices of confusion, even follow you to bed
You’ve seen something not exactly hidden
But someone’s been trying
We’ve all seen things are officially denied
Someone’s been lying!
(Chorus)

The tighter the turn, the harder the means of escape
The deeper the nail, the stronger the coffin we make
You're free – glory!
Hope you will find silence
The biggest attraction, the hardest the habit to break
The sharper the needle, the lesser the mark that we make
Run to me, you're crying
Ohh, life has served you well
What's in the ? (Waltzing the fort?!!)
What's in the ?
The (smoother the moon?), the smoother the music we make
The less (?) that we learn, the sadder the heart we break
My heart is something more precious than gold
You know something I love you, take it all
Young hearts in pain
Look to the rain –
So lonely
Nothing to say
Cloudy and grey
So lonely
Sleep tight
Tired of learning
How are you?
Sleep tight
Dream away
The louder the brave, the darker the secrets they fear
The weaker the mind, the stronger the voice will appear
Oh you'll get over glory
Song of joy today is gold
All this time what have we solved?
Someone will take it away
Sleep tight
Tired of learning
How are you?
Sleep tight
Tired of learning
How are you?
There may be time to (sleep tight)
Dream away
Circle on circle of…
Young hearts in pain
Look to the rain
So lonely
Nothing to say
Cloudy and grey
So lonely
Young hearts in pain
Look to the rain
Nothing to say
Cloudy and grey
So lonely
Circle on circle of…
So lonely
Circle on circle of…
Young hearts in pain
Who's going to take your all nightmares away?
They're going to take you for one last song
So lonely
