For my own part
I have never had a thought
Which I could not set down in words
With even more distinctness
Than that with which I conceived it
There is however a class of fancies
Of exquisite delicacy, which are not thoughts
And to which as yet I have found it
Absolutely impossible to adapt to language
These fancies arise in the soul
Alas how rarely, only at epochs
Of most intense tranquility

The clock struck midnight
And through my sleeping
I heard a tapping at my door
I looked but nothing lay in the darkness
And so I turned inside once more
To my amazement
There stood a raven
Whose shadow hung above my door
Then through the silence
It spoke the one word
That I shall hear for evermore
Quoth the raven, nevermore

Is there no sign of light as we stand in the darkness
Watching the sun arise?
Is there no sign of life as we gaze at the waters
Into the strangers eyes?
And who are we to criticize or scorn the things that they do?
For we shall seek and we shall find Ammonia Avenue
If we call for the proof and we question the answers
Only the doubt will grow
Are we blind to the truth or a sign to believe in?

'Cause you know that feeling
When you've got your back against the wall
My God, it's only Tuesday tomorrow
Your loved one's gone an' blown it all
Now you've got no money
And you feel your back against the wall
Well, if you talk to your brothers

No phone upon my wall, who's going to call?
No knock upon my door, no news to shake me

Beaujolais goes straight to my head
Beaujolais puts me to shame and I don't know

All along the shoreline
There are footprints by the sea
They head into the distance

Now I'm following the dream

Now everything that we possess
That fills our empty lives

No one can understand a word that I say

Anybody else could see what's wrong with me
But they walk away and just pretend

A boy flies for freedom
But dies for the peace
In the clouds, he waits for an answer
But there's no release

Oh, brother up in heaven

Pay no attention to the writing on the wall
The words seem empty 'cause there's nothing there at all
We let the wise men beat the drums too soon
We were just children of the moon
No one to turn to, nowhere to run to even if we could
Too late to save us but try to understand
The seas were empty there was hunger in the land

I saw the light on the night that I passed by her window
I saw the flickering shadows of love on her blind
She was my woman
As she deceived me I watched and went out of my mind
My, my, my, Delilah
Why? Why? Why Delilah?
I could see that girl was no good for me
But I was lost like a slave that no man could free

We're living in a different reality, we're toeing the same line
We give in we call it neutrality, a joke with no punchline
The silver plated hero meets the golden hearted whore
The odds'll give you zero, she'll be leaving in a few days more
Movin' on forever
Maybe she don't care
Holding on together
Maybe it just ain't there

Gaze at the sky
And picture a memory of days in your life
You knew what it meant to be happy and free
With time on your side
Remember your Daddy
When no one was wiser, your Ma used to say
That you would go farther than he ever could
With time on your side
Think of a boy with the stars in his eyes
Longing to reach them but frightened to try
Sadly you'd say someday, someday

The traveler is always leaving town
He never has the time to turn around
And if the road he's taken isn't leading anywhere
He seems to be completely unaware
The traveler is always leaving home

When every moment seems to be
A race against the time
There's always one more mountain left to climb
Days are numbers, watch the stars
We can only see so far

To hear the words
Of hope and consolation
With no star to guide us through the night
Through many realms of fantasy
We wander and we roam
Far away from home
Then all of those
We held so dear
Grew tired of understanding
And we dream through the endless night alone
What sun can light this darkness
And what hand remove this stone

Is not all that it seems and the ultimate truth is a lie.
And you are just a puppet who can dance on a string.

And the music is a symphony which we play in a minor key.

But too many hopes and dreams won't see the light
And all of the plans I make won't come together
Something in the air
Maybe for the only time in my life
Something in the air
Turning me around and guiding me right
And it's a prime time, maybe the stars were right
I had a premonition, it's gonna be my turn tonight
Gonna be my turn tonight
Well even...
Tell you 'bout a dream that I have every night
Tell you 'bout a dream that I have every night
It ain't Kodachrome and it isn't black and white
Take me for a fool if you feel that's right
I'm never on my own but there's nobody in sight
I don't know why I'm scared of the lightning
Trying to reach me
'Cause I can't turn to the left or the right
I'm too scared to run and I'm too weak to fight

There are pyramids in my head
There?s one underneath my bead
And my lady?s getting cranky
Every possible location
Has a simple explanation
And it isn?t hanky-panky

It said, that everything you grow in your garden would taste pretty fine
Instead, all I ever get is a pain in the neck and a

I was lonely and depressed
Having fled the family home
When I met an old acquaintance
I had only barely known
And I told her over tea
Of my worries and my woes
And a morbid fear of eating beans
In tightly fitting clothes
And she said psychoanalysis was just the thing for me
And she knew a mayfair analyst I really ought to see
So I went round to his rooms
And he saw m...
It's been a long road
We've walked the last mile
We reach the same conclusion
And we stop for a while
Together we know
The way we must go
We're leaving an illusion
That's for us to share
Only for us to share
We live our separate lives
And go our different ways
'Cause we don't see eye to eye
And we can't stand face to face
We live our separate lives
While counting all the days
Till the two of u...
Look at me now
A shadow of the man I used to be
Look through my eyes
And through the years of loneliness you'll see
To the times in my life
When I could not bear to lose a simple game
And the least of it all
Was the fortune and the fame
But the dream seemed to end
Just as soon as it had begun, was I to know?
For the last thing of all that was on my mind
Was the close at the end of the show
The...
If I cried out loud
Over sorrows I've known
And the secrets I've heard
It would ease my mind
Someone sharing the load
But I won't breathe a word
We're two of a kind, silence and I
We need a chance to talk things over
Two of a kind, silence and I
We'll find a way to work it out
When the children laughed
I was always afraid
Of the smile of the clown
So I close my eyes
Till I can't see the light
...
The hours the minutes seem to fly
And since the last goodbye you and I came a long way
Nights too short to fill with sleep
Or fallin' in too deep seem so far away now
Memories, all we share between us
Everything we were, all that we remain
But memories somehow came between us
Breakin' up two minds that were one and the same
The years are moments passing by
No time to wonder why you and I went ...
Days go by, adrift upon a rolling sky
The miracles escape my eyes
But I still hope
Time, regret
Is this as good as life can get?
It's only when the spirit sets me free I cope
If I seek in every corner
Aah
If I search in every doorway
Aah
When the water turns to wine, will I believe?
Aah
If I navigate the river
Aah
Would you take me to your island?
Aah
Sing the siren song so I can never leave

Snake eyes, seven eleven

Gimme, snake eyes, seven eleven
Don't let me down tonight
No, don't let me down tonight
Just one minute more, give me just one minute more
It's gonna be alright, it's gonna be alright
Just one minute more, then I'll walk right through that door
It's gonna be alright, it's gonna be alright
If ya gimme

We say welcome to the mission
Show us all what you can do
We need a man with vision
So we put our trust in you
And now we hope sincerely
That you'll do the best that you can do
Oh, for sure it won't be easy
And we'll have to risk our lives
Some will try to break us
And cut us down to size
But just remember there can be no consolation prize
Not in our eyes
It's a long way to go
We can't wait on...
In the matter of a moment
Lost till the end of time
It's the evening of another day
And the end of mine
Now the starlight which has found me
Lost for a million years
Tries to linger as it fills my eyes
Till it disappears
Could it be that somebody else
Is looking into my mind?
Some other place
Somewhere, some other time
Some other place
Somewhere, some other time
Like a mirror held before me
La...
Maybe I'm imagining the things they say about me
Maybe there is really nothing there at all
Standing in the middle while the rumors fly around me
Hiding from a shadow on an empty wall
When my back is turned he's up to something else
And I must not stop believing in myself
Am I dreaming will the nightmare just go on
And never end
Somebody out there, says that he's you
Somebody out there, talks ...
Oh what a price we pay for the things we say
And the closer I get to you the further you move away
All the lies we tell in the games we play
And the longer I think it over the harder it is to stay
Sooner or later I'll be free to leave the past behind
Sooner or later you're gonna be the last thing on my mind
Little by little I'm finding out the truth behind your eyes
Maybe if I don't show I tho...
I know the truth
But I can't say
And I have to turn my head
And look the other way
I'm not afraid
And I won't lie
As long as I see no wrong
I won't need to testify
I see the world
And I'm looking from a high place
Way above it all
Standing on higher ground
I breathe the air
While they're running in a rat race
Way above it all
Standing on higher ground
Way above it all
Way above it all
Standing...
I was just a joker in a serious game
I didn't have the heart to play
But sooner or later
I'll find a reason to throw it away
Risin' on the crest of a natural wave
That never seems to break my way
I'm livin' without it
But I got to do somethin' about it
Step by step, little by little
Move a little closer to me
Step by step, take it line by line
One day at a time
Move, move, move, move a little ...
Diamond eyes that burn me
And turn me to stone
Crystallize and freeze me
In clear monochrome
Turn me to stone
Do anything you want with me
Turn me to stone
Do anything you want
Stereotomy
We can make it together
Do anything you want with me
Do anything you want
Scarlet minds possess me
And I feel no shame
Silent knives dissect me
And I feel no pain
Stereotomy
We can make it together
Do anythin...
Stereotomy
Oh, stereotomy
We can make it forever
Do anything you want with me
Do anything you want
Stereotomy
We can make it
We can make it
Do anything you want
We can make it

Ask yourself a question now there's a multiple choice

Don't get your head into a spin

He's taking in his prey in sight it's just a matter of time
May the games begin the best man win

When you look into a night sky
You see the stars far away
You're seeing them because of the light
Which travels from them to you
Now it takes time for light to travel here
So what you're doing is seeing the stars as they were in the past
The amount of time it has taken for the light to reach us
And the further and further away those stars are
The further back in time you are looking
Now you ar...
By the last breath of the four winds that blow
I'll have revenge upon fortunate
Smile in his face I'll say, "Come let us go"
I've a cask of amontillado
Sheltered inside from the cold of the snow
Follow me now to the vault down below
Drinking the wine as we laugh at the time
Which is passing incredibly slow
What are these chains that are binding my arm?
Part of you dies each passing day
Say it'...
And I could easily fall from grace then another would take my place
For the chance to behold your face
And the days of my life are but grains of sand
As they fall from your open hand at the call of the wind's command
Many words are spoken when there's nothing to say
They fall upon the ears of those who don't know the way
To read between the lines, that lead between the lines
That lead me to yo...

The clock struck midnight
And through my sleeping
I heard a tapping at my door
I looked but nothing
Lay in the darkness
And so I turned inside once more
To my amazement
There stood a raven
Whose shadow hung above my door
Then through the silence
It spoke the one word
That I shall hear for evermore
Nevermore
Thus quoth the raven, nevermore
And still the raven remains in my room

One more compromise I won't be making
One more easy way out I won't be taking
So many chances don't come twice
So many eyes are made of ice
One more cheating hand I won't be shaking
One more substitute I won't be trying
One more piece of the rock that I'm not buying
So many times we stand and fight
So many reasons can't be right

Taking my life one day at a time

You should have seen him
Lying alone in helpless silence in the night
You should have seen him
You would have seen his eye reflecting in the light
So for the old man
Ashes to ashes, earth to earth and dust to dust
No one will see me
No one with guilt to share, no secret soul to trust
And he won't be found at all
Not a trace to mark his fall
Nor a stain upon the wall
Lo...

There's a voice on the phone
Who just called in to say
"Mr. Jones isn't home, he'll be gone for the day"
So he pulls down the blind
To adjust his disguise
But it's all in his mind which he proudly denies

Where to go from here, I can't hide from each face I see
Looking out from behind them is me
I'm attempting to guess
What they meant when they said

There are unsmiling faces and bright plastic chains

I need to remember the day
When we said goodbye for the very last time
There was still so much to say
But time came between us and quietly stole you away
Let me remember the day
We walk to the garden and sit for a while
The hours are slipping away
Still I try to hold them and freeze them in time
So leave me believing we'll meet here again
Promise me some kind of sign
And as each day turns into...
It's almost a feeling you can touch in the air
You look all around you but nobody's there
It's been a long time now since you've been aware
That someone is watching you
He's gonna get you
Sooner or later when your big chances come
You'll look for the catches but there'll be none
Remember before you grab the money and run
That someone is watching you
He's gonna get you
Before you run and hide

An anthem to the human condition
Lead vocal: john miles
What kind of madness rule the world today
What earthly reason holding sway
There is no heaven at all
For some may weep
And some may sleep
While some may rise
And some may fall
No one is an island
No one born alone
No man can turn the tide of fortune on his own
Though some may dare to try
Say there but for the grace of God go you my friend...
Time, flowing like a river
Time, beckoning me
Who knows when we shall meet again, if ever
But time keeps flowing like a river into the sea
Goodbye my love, maybe for forever
Goodbye my love, the tide waits for me
Who knows when we shall meet again, if ever
But time keeps flowing like a river
On and on
To the sea, to the sea till it's gone forever
Gone forever, gone forevermore
Goodbye my frien...
If I could see the sky above

As wild white horses reached the shore

Nothing could change my mind

Holding us within this maze
Every path we take, leads us astray
Comfort me, my only son
Till the day my work is done
There's no earthly reason, we should stay

What will you do now the bridges have been burned?

The time has come the wild one said
When we must all decide
We cannot carry on this way
And so we must divide
The road before us runs both ways
So which one do you choose
But all will not go well if you refuse
What becomes of the upper me when the fire burns in my mind
How can I leave my ego behind
I return to another me or I lose the will to survive...
Somehow you made it in the big wide world
And you're absolutely home and dry
You got away from a one horse town
And the only way out was to fly
You heard a lot about an easy street
And it seems like the place to be
You heard some talk about a slippery slope
But you think, it can't happen to me

You drink the wine
You play the fool
You cross the line

But no one cares
Still no one cares

And what goes on in your life

If all things must pass
Even a miracle won't last

What must stand alone?
And what goes on in your mind

Well it was only a game, she was mine for the asking
And I'd figured the whole thing out
When she told me her name, it was more than a feeling
There wasn't any doubt
Well, it felt so good, it was too hard to break it
Too much for me to explain
But in a matter of time
Gonna be myself again
You've been
Winding me up too long
Over my head, is it day or night?
'Cause woman you ain't so strong
But ...
You can take me up, you can wind me down
There's no escape, but I'll never drown
No wires or strings, no rough and smooth
Just fire and stings, watch me closely, watch my every move
I can count your money while I check your hand
Ooo ooo
And you know I just can't lose
Wine from the water, gold from a tree
I wouldn't fool you, there's nothin' up my sleeve
Look for a mirror, there's nothin' there...
