raise one leg
dream of death
obliterate your sex
holding breath
this is a memory
this is a trance
it is the middle
of a broken last chance
it isn't movement
it isn't free
it is a moment
deep in you and me
dance... dance... dance...
dance... dance... dance
dancing in a midday, apparently frozen stance
caught up in a nihilistic dance, dance, dance
a single eye
stares from a face
with all the emptiness
of limitless space
without action
without motion
entombed in the oil
of one man's emotion
never casual
more than a glance
where the truth for a change
has been paid in advance
dance... dance... dance...
dance... dance... dance
dancing in a midday, apparently frozen stance
caught up in a nihilistic dance, dance, dance
dance... dance... dance...
dance... dance... dance
dancing in a midday, apparently frozen stance
caught up in a nihilistic dance, dance, dance
and the window being open
shows the sky far away
but the balustrade keeps us locked in
to make us dance all day

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

Everybody has wisdom, everyone understands
Food when we are hungry, the touch of loving hands
No one is anyone's property, no one should be a slave
The joining of hearts in free will, begins a tidal wave
Don't hold back, don't think that hope is pointless
Love is a, love is a, love is a, love is an open door
Don't believe that life is closed against us
Love is a, love is a, love is a, love is an open door
And it doesn't make any difference, the colour of anyone's skin
We need the rejection of prejudice, let peace come flooding in
Jealousy is just a parasite, hatred is disease
Respect for human dignity, become skittering wind blown leaves
(Chorus)
The time is surely coming when we could all be free
When eyes for so long blinded, in opening shall see
That children may grow happily safe in the love of all
The earth a fertile garden where nobody need crawl
(Chorus)
Love is a, love is a, love is an open door
And if it seems that your hoping heart has led you into pain
Take a tip from the carpenter forgive and love again
And again

You come here baby and tell me that I’m green
Expecting me to be so grateful to you
But pardon me if I’m not what you see
I’m not green I’m yellow and blue
I’m not just one of the green things
I’m not just one of the green things
I’m not just one of the green things
I’m not just one of the green things
I’m not just one of the green things
I’m not just one of the green things
I’m not just one of the green things
I am not just green

(It’s cold out here in Piccadilly Square)
Underneath the newspaper picture
Underneath the face a brain
Personality
Shaped from go
But
No two hundred quid
Tramp o.k. so what are you?

Creation

Look at the wheat in the field
Look at the beauty revealed
Look at the power of the sun celestial burning:
Look at the girls and the boys, look at the children with their toys
Look at the planets in their spaces each one turning:
This is the beauty of creation
Look at the bible take and read
Look at the knowledge of your need
Look at almighty God who cares for every detail:
Look at the chances to care, look at the chances to share
Look at the human beings made up male and female:
This is the beauty of creation
Look at our minds and our hands
Look at our organs and our glands
Look at the chance we have for spirit to be re-born
Look at the wood and the steel
Look at the love we can feel
Look at the light if you will the curtains are drawn
This is the beauty, this is the beauty of creation

The Bond - His Love
04:22
|
|||
|
His love is a shield for the hopeless
His love is a seed in the soil
All of His love He will give you
If you will learn to receive
His love is worth far more than money
His love is worth suffering and joy
All of His love can live in you
If you will only believe
His love is a light on a tall stand
His love is a shade in the heat
His love is the gift of a clean heart
His love drown the bitter with the sweet - His love
All of the pain you will pass through
The lies you will see bought and sold
Will never destroy His love in you
The Spirit of life that the grave cannot hold
His love is a strong place to stand on
His love causes blindness to see
His love it is pure it is holy
His love is forgiving and free -
I'm grateful for His love
So grateful for His love
Undeserved for me

Seriously siblings
Are you running scared, running scared, running scared
Seriously siblings
Are you running scared, running scared, why so scared?
From a howling night we're running into daylight
Down a corridor of knives
From a city built on suffering and warfare
We are running into life
Seriously siblings
Are you running hard, running hard, running hard
Seriously siblings
Are you running hard, running hard, running hard
There's no time to stand around in acquiescence
To the spirit of this age
In the love of Christ find strength to resist evil
In His justice all the rage
Sing Hallelujah, sing loud and long
Sing Hallelujah, sing a new song
Sing Hallelujah, sing proud and strong
Sing Hallelujah, sing a new song
Seriously siblings
Why won't you come on now, come on now, come on now
Seriously siblings
Why won't you come on now, come on now, come on now
Well there's a mighty hand that holds us all in orbit
Round His own eternal light
Praise His name and by his spirit live within it
In His strength fight the good fight
Chorus
When the anti-Christ comes roaring
And you feel your love so drowned
Let your heart be broken open
Let your love of God's love sound
Chorus
Come on, seriously siblings
Won't you run with joy, run with joy, run with joy

I know what it means, believing in dreams as they burn;
Awaking in pain, trying in vain to return.
A crowd of old selves, abandoned on shelves in a store,
Where everyone stares, nobody cares any more.
I wish I was closer to you.
If love is our aim, it can’t be a game for a day.
It must begin here, must be sincere, I must say.
You know my name, you know my frame to an inch;
How I’ll compromise, even tell lies at a pinch.
I wish I was closer to you.
For love to be real, you’ll have to peel off the crust.
Help me to see, your will for me can be trusted.
I love you so much, I long for your touch every day.
Guide me straight back to your narrow track when I stray.
May I come closer to you.
I need to be closer to you.
Lead me Lord closer to you.

Word of God came looking for me
Deep into this corner of the room
Where I hid in gloom
Asked me:
"Who do you say I am?
Listen to the song of truth I sing...
It's got a beat of angels wings!"
I think I'll get up and dance...
Out into the gleaming spotlight
Knees are shaking
Feet they lead me on towards the Heavenly song
Suddenly, I feel a movement
Filling me up from head to toe
Oh! It makes me want to g-g-go;
Get up and dance!
I can feel a heartbeat moving
On the edge
On the edge of my vision
It's like a flashing light
It is the dawning of the new life where I stand
Free on the plain
Without the chains
Where I can move my limbs and move my mouth and move my soul
Into freedom
Dance!
Jesus came off the Cross
And left it all behind Him
Defeated Death fell from Him like an empty sack
That once held rubbish
Rising
Rising
Into forever
Dragging us behind Him
If
We will only give our lives into His hands
He'll teach us to dance...

Life and death are fought out on a screen
Words and pictures jostle there
But are not clearly seen
Selfishness and greed like driven rain
Soak into the pilgrim soul
Prepared to feel pain
Down here…
Samples of the merchandise displayed
The killer’s tools the toys for fools
The thugs love to parade
Expenses in this business world are high
The average plan takes what it can
The rest must do or die
Down here…
Time and time again we’re torn
Between the world we’re longing for
And the one in which we’re born
Oh Lord can’t you magic it alright?
Is there no answer?
“…You say your love stands until the weather breaks
On the other side of the storm
You say it’s mercy that hold judgment back
That love prefers reform
All the promises you make
Are met in the bread we break
It’s a cross-road onto which your shadow falls
Your love’s not cheap at all…
You say we see you in the Servant Kind
In whose sufferings we are healed
You say we need turn around and see
The love we seek revealed
If we’ll lower the shield of lies
If we’ll drop all our disguise
You have shed forgiveness
Life-blood for us all
Your love’s not cheap at all
Desire to share must proclaim what is missed
The promise of Your full embrace
For all who had You kissed
However often this worlds lies are told
The power of Your promises still holds
They make bold
They comfort and empower us
Where garbage sells as gold
Down here…

Casino - Stranger
04:56
|
|||
|
The ripple went round
'Stranger in town - ignoring the Management
- bit of a clown...'
And he come tipping tables
And he come without cash
And he come without credit
No gambling trash
The fact is Stranger
Action and word
The fact is Stranger
Truth is preferred
The Casino is shaking since the Stranger occurred
The ripple went round
'Joker in play - forget the tables -
hear him today...'
And he talked to the pimps
And the cheats and the whores
And he talked about daylight
And he opened the doors
The ripple went round
'Stranger about - the Management hate him
But his game's got some clout...'
And he spoke about freedom
And life beyond winning
And the management scowled
But Our Jimmy was grinning
But he had no commitment
To the Management cause
And he stayed quite indifferent
To insult or applause
Then the bosses got Stranger for good
And for sure
The tables were turned back -
They showed him the door
The crowds disappeared
When the bouncers got mean
And they dragged him away
To be wiped from the scene
Then they mopped off their brows
With a sigh of relief
The Casino was saved
From the one they called 'Thief'

Apathetic And Here, I...
02:46
|
|||
|
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 mapless and hapless and blown by the breeze
And we chatter of being at ease
Dreary me
We chatter of being at ease.

I'd like to wish you well
I'd like to wish you happiness
I'd like to wish you peace
Of the everlasting kind
I'd like to wish you love
Rich and deep and plentiful
I wish you all the joy
Of a free and quiet mind
I'd like to wish you hope
To see beyond the storm clouds
I'd like to wish you faith
A faith that you can share
I'd like to wish you health
Courage and compassion
I wish you all the vision
Of a heart equipped to care
I'd like to wish you friends
Who love you as they find you
I wish you sense to seek
Forgiveness that is true
I wish you endless strength
To learn to love your enemies
For what you hate in them
Has all been found in you
I'd like to wish you patience
Endurance and humility
To hold to what is good
Amongst the lies that tease us
I'd like to wish you life
A safe home for eternity
In short I wish you all
That you could find in Jesus

Steve Rothery band Live in Plovdiv
by Steve Rothery
supported by 5 fans who also own “His Music”
The first official outing of the "what would be" Steve Rothery Band. Riccardo Romano was missing with his keyboard wizardry and no singer at all (later Martin Jakubsky of Stillmarillion). Marillion's catalogue was represented by excerpts of instrumental sections where Steve had his solo spot. This is a milestone in the forming of a great band that later became the spokesman of early Marillion era and of course of Steve's solo material.

It's all a matter of taste. I love this album. I love it's serenity, the beautiful instrumentation, orchestration and the great production. Ambient is not my cup of tea either, but this album crosses the borders of ambient music and prog. In other words: an awesome album!
