Where do we go from here now that all other children are growin' up
And how do we spend our lives if there's no-one to lend us a hand

I don't wanna live here no more, I don't wanna stay
Ain't gonna spend the rest of my life, Quietly fading away

Games people play, You take it or you leave it
Things that they say, Honor Brite

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

Snake eyes
Seven eleven
Don't let me down boys
Gimme
Snake eyes
Seven eleven
Don't let me down tonight
No don't let me down tonight

There are unsmiling faces in fetters and chains
On a wheel in perpetual motion
Who belong to all races and answer all names
With no show of an outward emotion

And they think it will make their lives easier
But the doorway before them is barred
And the game never ends when your whole world depends

I only know what I can see
So I imagine what could be
Where the horizon cuts the air
Look for me out there

Someday I'll touch the blue blue sky
Someday I'll touch the blue blue sky

[Lead vocal - David Paton]

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

(пластинка)
Rising and falling, lighter than air
Silently calling, no one is there
Oh, bird that is flying, so high and so free
Closer to Heaven, than you and me

Voices of strangers, keep me from sleep
Guardian angels, watch over the deep

I ain't got a heart of stone
I'm hurtin' more now than I've ever known
If you mean the things you said
I'm gonna wind up outa my head
Can't sleep alone at night
I just can't seem to get it right
Damned if I do
Damned if I don't but I love you

If it's getting harder to face every day
Don't let it show, don't let it show
Though it's getting harder to take what they say
Just let it go, just let it go

And if it hurts when they mention my name
Say you don't know me

Don't think sorry's easily said
Don't try turning tables instead
You've taken lots of chances before
But I'm not gonna give anymore
Don't ask me
That's how it goes
Cause part of me knows what you're thinkin'

I was alone in my room feeling sorry for myself.
Call me a prophet of doom, i could think of nothing else.
I found a freudian book gathering dust upon my shelf.
I thought i'll give it a look, would it hurt or would it help?

Freudiana, do you want to be somebody?
Freudiana, do you want to change the world?

Well it's funny you should say that
It's a most peculiar thing
Yes it's funny you should say that

I was talking to a man
And I saw he wore a ring
Yes it's funny you should say that

Where do we go from here
now that all of our children
are growin' up?
And how do we spend our lives
if there's no one to lend us a hand?

I don't wanna live here no more
I don't wanna stay

Suppose I were to tell you that the meaning of dreams
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.
Do you feel anything?
Would you Laugh? Would you care? Would you cry?

But the meaning of life is a mystery, how can anyone disagree?
And the music is a symphony which we play in a minor key.

If I had a mind to

I wouldn't wanna think like you

And if I had a time to

I wouldn't wanna talk to you

I prefer to spend my time in solitary ways
Keeping myself to myself
Can't pretend that it's been easy since you went away
Living with somebody else

If you should change your mind
If you should turn around and look behind
If you could see me the way I used to be

© Stereotomy, 1985

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

Who knows where the read may lead us, only a fool would say
Who knows if we'll meet along the way
Follow the brightest star as far as the brave may dare
What will we find when we get there

La sagrada familia we pray the storm will soon be over
La sagrada familia for the lion and the lamb

I am just a stranger, in a promised land
I am only learning a game with the rules I don't understand
Going round in circles, I've been round before
I am lost in so many ways
I can walk no more
I can walk no more

I can see the glow of a distant sun
I can feel it inside
Maybe this day could be the one

I can hear the roar of a distant crowd
They are waiting for me
Calling my name

There's not a day
I don't think of your name
The state that I'm in
You're completely to blame
No words left to say
Turn my dreams all to grey
And I'm more and more lost without you

Stealing a moment from Mr. Time
He rocks in his chair like a shiny dime
But it's all for show, all for show.
Wearing your name and a number or two
When the minute's up so are you
But everybody knows, everybody knows.

Watching the hour from the light in his eyes,

Some of us laugh,
Some of us cry,
Some of us lay back - watch the world go by.
Some of us fear,
Some of us hate,
Some of us won't wake up 'till it's too late!

The distance between us is a mystery to us all,

Nothing's good the news is bad
The heat goes on and it drives you mad
Scornful thoughts that fly your way
You should turn away 'cause there's nothing more to say

You gave the best you had to give
You only have one life to live
You fought so hard you were a slave

As far as my eyes can see
There are shadows approaching me
And to those I left behind
I wanted you to know
You ve always shared my deepest thoughts
You follow where I go

And oh when I m old and wise

(stuart Elliott)

If You Could Press Rewind And Do It All Again
Would You Change Your Mind, Would You Change A Thing
Would You Make It Easy, Would You Make It Hard
Would You Play The Game Under Another Name
Or Ask The Dealer For One More Card

Well even the longest night won't last forever
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

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

Look at me now, a shadow of the man I used to be
Look through my eyes and through the years of lonliness you'll see
To the times in my life when I could not stand 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 least thing of all that was on my mind, was the close at 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

CHORUS:

The hours, the minutes seem to fly
And since the last goodbye
You and I came a long way
The nights, too short to fill with sleep
Or falling in too deep
Seem so far away now

Memories, all we share between us

Snake eyes, seven eleven
Don't let me down boys
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

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 something about it

By the last breath of the four winds that blow
I'll have revenge upon Fortunato
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

The Raven
The Alan Parsons Project
Lead vocals: Alan Parsons & Leonard Whiting

The clock struck midnight
and through my sleeping
I heard a tapping at my door
I looked but nothing lay in the darkness

There are unsmiling faces and bright plastic chains
And a wheel in perpetual motion
And they follow the races and pay out the gains
With no show of an outward emotion

And they think it will make their lives easier
For God knows up till now it's been hard
But the game never ends when your whole world depends

Written by ian bairnson

I need to remember the day

When we said goodbye for the very last time

There was still so much to say

Lead Vocal: Steve Harley
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 will be none
Remember before you grab the money and run

Time, flowing like a river
Time, beckoning me
Who knows when we shall meet again
If ever
But time
Keeps flowing like a river
To the sea
Goodbye my love, Maybe for forever

If I could see the sky above
And my mind could be set free
As wild white horses reached the shore
I'd stand alone and oversee

And if the bush before me burns
Should I turn my eyes away
And still the voices I can hear

There must be a thousand ways
Holding us within this maze
Every path we take leads us astray
Comfort me my only son
Till the day my work is done
Theres no earthly reason we should stay

And when the wind gets under these wings

It's no good believing in somebody else
If you can't believe in yourself
You give them the reason to take all the power and wealth
It's no good you trying to sit on the fence
And hope that the trouble will pass
'cause sitting on fenses can make you a pain in the ass

If there's something you find to believe in

Somehow you made it in the big wide world
And youre 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

What goes up must come down.
What must rise must fall...
And what goes on in your life
Is writing on the wall!
If all things must fall,
Why build a miracle at all?
If all things must pass,
Even a miracle won't last.

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 hard to break it
Too much for me to explain
But in a matter of time I'm gonna be myself again

My eyes with your vision
My choice but always your decision
My play with your direction
Well it's my lead but always your connection

But when i look into your eyes you don't believe me
B
I can see it in your eyes you don't believe

You're such a cool woman but i love you
Such a cruel woman but i love you
Open up your eyes and realise
You're such a fool woman but i love you
But give me all that you've got to give
Cause it sure feels good to me

I'm not your only man i'm just your lover

Do you know who I am
Do you know where you are
Are you where you want to be

Do you see what you like
Do you like what you see
Do you think a need in you
Can fulfill a need in me
