ANOTHER PLACE
Haven't seen you in quite some time
But I still know your name
Every time that I think of you
the feeling remains the same
Not going to break my back for you
Cos your just tagging along
I don't owe you anything
What have you ever done?
But when it's time to get it on
The feeling always flows
I'm taken to another place
Another place where we can walk on by
Seasons change and age takes it's toll but I've not much to say
Like being stranded on an empty beach
We're just playing the game
Sacrifice is a dangerous game
And one that we can't control
I know I've told you many times before
But I'll tell you again
HEAVY CLOUDS
The gig is up this time round
you ought know from days gone by
Just clean the slate just keep moving on
What went on was out of your hands
Yes we feel sad and we wish you well
but there was nothing anyone could do
You can fight it for all that it`s worth
but nothings ever gonna change
So hold your head up high
Stand alone and feel proud
Hold your head up high
Cos theres no room for heavy clouds
You took the blame Felt the strain
There was no way back for you at all
The drawing was always on the wall
But that's the gig you must've known we're all the
same we're all on show
here today gone tomorrow no-one ever knows
CAN`T FAULT HER IN ANY WAY TONIGHT
Hands to the fore, back in the neon lights
making waves in the spiral jungle
Can`t recognize myself anymore
And I know its oblique
But shes looking sleek
Can`t fault her in any way
Can`t fault her in any way tonight
Eyes wide awake, combing Ebisu streets
Searching for eternal ground
Lost me way, manual policeman at bay
There`s never any cause for doubt
And I know its a crime
But she`s looking sublime
Man I wish she were mine
I told you once
I told you twice
Man your looking so nice

INTO THE UNKNOWN
Scream exhaltation
every step of the way
is a blinding journey into the unknown
thru the never ending maze
of illusion
Are you surpressed
with all your lifestyle obligations
desperate to break away
knowing everyone is watching
everything you do
Careering thru the lifetime of revelations
and things that make you feel strange
biting on the hand that feeds you so well
theres no reason to feel the pain
Won`t bring me down
Picking sides in the pouring rain
It`s 9 a-side, am I out of my depth?
Read the minds, couldn`t make the grade
Don`t want to think about it any more
Green, red & a corridor of over-fed egos
Who can`t answer to the man, got no conscience at all
Just a midget wannabe, the joke will find him
Onwards & upwards, well he got that right
May the saints protect us from the gifted amateur
I`m just watching from afar
You won`t bring me down
Many say it`s a slight on my behalf
But I can`t take the heat from those
Who fail to convince in charge
Unreliable & he charmed you, what`s that about?
Your time will come, when your answers won`t match
She rides the Wind
She`s blissfully immune to all that
surrounds her
Not afraid to be herself takes the freedom of
life in her stride
Tell her, theres something she needs to know
Confide in her, you want her to understand
The reason is never clear
She`s beyond dispair
That`s just the way it is
She rides the wind, I`m quietly
counting
She rides the wind, and I know
I have never been there
Only pride and peace of mind can justify
the distance left to run
If patience is the virtue that they say, then she`s
cajoling the desert sun
