Festival!


It's endless summer once again and everything is fine
+
Save for a small concern about the rising water line
+
We've junked our monkey suits
+
We're heading west and searching for the country life
+
One evening spent in digging out the tent we used last time
+
We don't do coke we only smoke what we smoked in our prime
+
And it was at this show, some years ago
+
That Janice said she'd be my wife
+
FESTIVAL!
+
Just sitting here there's nothing different from those student days
+
Except the house, the car, the kids, the golf, the job that pays
+
And life has done its trick
+
Our waists are thick but never mind our hair is thin
+
Although it must be said the food is bad and full of flies
+
It's great to be back here with Van and Bob and all the guys
+
A special thanks must go to farmer Jones
+
Who really owns the shit we're in
+
FESTIVAL!
+
We're all stuck in time, like the ticking of a clock
+

The Iron Maiden


She walks on through the night
+
Her circumstances slight
+
Are only helping her to fail
+
And though she feels she's right
+
She tries with all her might
+
And makes the deepest peril pale
+
Oh, but she is unreal
+
Oh, but she doesn't feel
+
Oh, but she is unreal
+
She chooses who to love
+
And then unlike a dove
+
She takes the laughter from their smile
+
She wears a velvet glove
+
Her friends may find it rough
+
It is a gauntlet all the while
+
Oh, but she is unreal
+
Oh, but she doesn't feel
+
Oh, but she is unreal
+

Brave New World


When I was just a child
+
My world it was so small
+
The empty playground swings
+
The corner shop, the penny drinks
+
The backyard walls
+
Of a brave new world
+
As those years passed by
+
I never thought to try
+
To memorise the dreams
+
The childhood fantasies
+
Of a brave new world
+
Some things change, some stay the same
+
Some don't even notice, some feel the strain
+
It's everyone's fault and nobody's blame
+
And who can say if that's too much to ask?
+
When I was twenty-four
+
My small world closed the door
+
I felt like I should cry
+
I saw men born to kill and born to die
+
For this brave new world
+
So now I'm old and grey
+
And life has passed my way
+
Those tears have all run dry
+
Death's desperation lies on every eye
+
In this brave new world
+
Some things change, some stay the same
+
Some don't even notice, some feel the strain
+
It's everyone's fault and nobody's blame
+
And who can say if that's too much to ask
+
Of a brave new world?
+
You know you were dreaming
+
You know that the streets weren't paved with gold
+
You know you were dreaming
+
It's part of the scheme of things
+
That "Brother Thrush" grows old
+

Mocking Bird


Rain, sea, surf, sand, clouds and sky
+
Hush now baby, don't you cry
+
There's a mocking bird
+
Singing songs in the trees
+
There's a mocking bird
+
Singing songs
+
Just for you and me
+
Rain, sea, surf, sand, clouds and sky
+
Time will see your tears run dry
+
There's a mocking bird
+
Singing songs in the trees
+
There's a mocking bird
+
Singing songs
+
Just for you and me
+
Rain, sea, surf, sand, clouds and sun
+
Bless the tears of love now gone
+
There's a mocking bird
+
Singing songs in the trees
+
There's a mocking bird
+
Singing songs
+
Singing just for me

Sitting Upon A Shelf


Sitting upon a shelf
+
Trying to get back into myself
+
I cannot anyway
+
I've lost complete control of myself
+
Never thought that I'd find out
+
Just what this life is about
+
There'll be no doubt any more
+
I'll find the truth that's for sure
+
Sitting upon the floor
+
Wondering what they've put me here for
+
A hole in the roof my friend
+
Seems that I've lost control once again
+
Never thought that I'd find out
+
Just what this life is about
+
There'll be no doubt any more
+
I'll find the truth that's for sure
+
Sitting back on the shelf
+
Trying to get back into myself
+
Bend as you pass the door
+
Watch for the water here on the floor
+
Never thought that I'd find out
+
Just what this life is about
+
There'll be no doubt any more
+
I'll find the truth that's for sure
+

Hymn


Valley's deep and the mountain's so high
+
If you want to see God you've got to move on the other side
+
You stand up there with your head in the clouds
+
Don't try to fly you know you might not come down
+
Don't try to fly, dear God, you might not come down
+
Jesus came down from Heaven to earth
+
The people said it was a virgin birth
+
Jesus came down from Heaven to earth
+
The people said it was a virgin birth
+
He told great stories of the Lord
+
And said he was the saviour of us all
+
He told great stories of the Lord
+
And said he was the saviour of us all
+
For this they/we killed him, nailed him up high
+
He rose again as if to ask us why
+
Then he ascended into the sky
+
As if to say in God alone you soar
+
As if to say in God alone we fly.
+
Valley's deep and the mountain's so high
+
If you want to see God you've got to move on the other side
+
You stand up there with your head in the clouds
+
Don't try to fly you know you might not come down
+
Don't try to fly, dear God, you might not come down

The Devils That I Keep


There is a place that I have been
+
It's like no other place I've seen
+
The blade is cold against my skin
+
It's not quite out, it's not quite in
+
It seems I've fallen off the earth
+
No sign of hope, no sense of worth
+
And in my mouth a bitter pill
+
It makes me sleep, it keeps me still
+
I can't explain the words they miss
+
If there's a point in all of this
+
Why can't the gods who planets make
+
Just give me peace for pity's sake?
+
It's not those years and years I spent
+
Within a world without event
+
It's not these things that make me weep
+
It's more the devils that I keep
+

Titles


The long and winding road that leads to your door
+
Here comes the sun it's alright people shout for more
+
But were you trying to deceive telling me
+
All you need is love to succeed
+
Across the universe one after nine 'o' nine
+
I got a feeling for you blue and I feel fine
+
I tried so hard to make believe that I'd see
+
All you need is love to succeed
+
CHORUS:
+
Lady Madonna let it be
+
Something in the way you moved me yesterday
+
All you need is love so they say

Float


Sometimes I think of them now
+
Those honey-scented days
+
When sun's bright rays shone on my face
+
Then summer blazed through the trees
+
And softened by the shade
+
It filled that sylvan place
+
Float
+
Go with the flow
+
Not high not low
+
Before you go
+
Float
+
And live in hope
+
When judgement comes
+
It comes to save us all
+
Now all that's left is a sound
+
A hollow echoing
+
No faith no heart in what I make
+
And those bright things I once saw
+
Are shadowy
+
Dead leaves
+
Like dreams
+
Drift on the lake
+
Float
+
Go with the flow
+
Not high not low
+
Before you go
+
Float
+
And live in hope
+
When judgement comes
+
It comes to save us all

Fantasy: Loving Is Easy


Even the bad times are good when you're around
+
Darlin', you kiss away all my blues
+
Even the hard times are easy to face
+
'Cause I know that your love will come through
+
You light up my flame, then you drive me insane
+
There ain't nothing that you cannot do
+
Then you rip up my heart, you just tear it apart
+
As I shoot all my love into you
+
Lovin' is easy with both eyes closed
+
You know that's the best way to feel it
+
Lovin' is easy with both eyes closed
+
Just get a hold and watch how it grows
+
Even the bad times are good when you're around
+
Darlin', you kiss away all my blues
+
Even the hard times are easy to face
+
'Cause I know that your love will come through
+
You tear up my soul and then fill up the whole
+
Of your being, your love, your desire
+
Then you grab for my heart you just tear it apart
+
As I shoot all my love in your fire
+
Lovin' is easy with both eyes closed
+
You know that's the best way to feel it
+
Lovin' is easy with both eyes closed
+
Just get a hold and watch how it grows
+
Lovin' is easy with both eyes closed
+
You know that's the best way to feel it
+
Lovin' is easy with both eyes closed
+
Just get a hold and watch how it grows

Star Bright


They all tell her
+
"Leave the kid alone
+
He's got something on his mind"
+
I feel like I'm choking
+
Drowning in her fear
+
And I don't know what's inside
+
There was a time when we'd show all our feelings
+
In star bright love
+
She tries to tell me
+
That I'm too young to go
+
I'm playing it like a fool
+
But this fool can't listen
+
To anything she says
+
'Cause deep in my heart I know
+
I had my dreams as a child
+
Then the man awoke to reality
+
Like memories lost in the past
+
All I want now is star bright love
