UNIVERSAL
It doesn’t matter if you’re black or white Or the god that you choose to pray to It doesn’t matter about the clothes you wear Or which creator made you We all bleed the same blood We all need the same love And when we die there’s no heaven above It’s Universal, It’s Universal It doesn’t matter who you think you are You’re living and you know you feel it It’s not important as to why we’re here You know there is no reason We all bleed the same blood We all need the same love And when we die there’s no heaven above It’s Universal, It’s Universal It’s Universal, It’s Universal We all bleed the same blood We all need the same love And when we die there’s no heaven above It’s Universal, It’s Universal It’s Universal, It’s Universal
WALKING ON THE MILKY WAY
When I was only seventeen My head was full of brilliant dreams My heart would call and I would gladly go At twenty one the world was mine And I was yours and you’re divine And nothing else would matter to us so I don’t believe in destiny I don’t believe in love I don’t believe that anything will ever be enough.. Man you should have seen us On the way to Venus Walking on the milky way It was quite a day hey hey.. Walking on the big stuff Acting like we’re real tough Baby we were on our way So what do you say hey hey. As time goes by reality Destroys your hope and dignity There’s nothing left but writing on the wall But just remember who you are And where you’ve been you’ve come so far And never ever let them see you fall I don’t believe in miracles I don’t believe in truth I don’t believe that anything can recreate your youth Man you should have seen us On the way to Venus Walking on the milky way It was quite a day hey hey.. Walking on the big stuff Acting like we’re real tough Baby we were on our way So what do you say hey hey Man you should have seen us On the way to Venus Walking on the milky way It was quite a day hey hey.. Walking on the big stuff Acting like we’re real tough Baby we were on our way So what do you say hey hey
THE SUN AND THE MOON
The Autumn leaves were falling As we raced against the sun And all but friends stop calling They assumed the race was run And no one here can understand or reason What we’ve done We can’t provide the answer But we can provide the gun It always looked so easy When we watched it while we’re young We always found a reason To be cheerful having fun Don’t blame the moon Don’t blame the sun Just tell me everything will be done Don’t blame the stars from up above Just tell me everything is done for love The energy of arrogance Is wasted on the young The power of all the thoughts We have is greater than the sum Don’t believe your brothers They will break you one by one Don’t believe your daughters They will never bear you sons *Repeat Chorus It always seemed so easy When we watched it while we’re young We always found a reason to be cheerful having fun Don’t blame the moon Don’t blame the sun Just tell me everything will be done Don’t blame the stars from up above Just tell me everything is done for love
THE BLACK SEA
On a ship to nowhere On a dark and tranquil sea I’m sinking with a cargo Of the things that cannot be On the far horizon the final sunsets fall And Tuesday becomes Wednesday Becomes any day at all Everything we do Nothing remains true I am frightened I’m a liar And I’m tortured by desire Every single day In all the simple ways I am torn apart inside by the things I’ve tried to hide down the dusty roads we go And down the leafy lanes And down the long and winding road The landscape stays the same Everything we do Nothing remains true I am frightened I’m a liar And I’m tortured by desire Every single day In all the simple ways I am torn apart inside by the things I’ve tried to hide Everything we do Nothing remains true I am frightened I’m a liar And I’m tortured by desire Every single day In all the simple ways I am torn apart inside by the things I’ve tried to hide
VERY CLOSE TO FAR AWAY
I’m very close to far away And I can’t hear the words you say So take what you can take what you find Take it all into your mind I’m very close to letting go Even closer than you know I need what you have need what you give I need your love to make me live So talk to me now talk to me slow Say the words I told you so I know you don’t believe me Or all the things I say But if you’d just receive me We’re very close to far away I’m very close to far away And I can’t hear the words you say So take what you can take what you find Take it all into your mind I know you don’t believe me Or all the things I say But if you’d just receive me We’re very close to far away I’m very close to far away And I can’t hear the words you say I need what you have need what you give I need your love to make me live I’m very close to letting go Even closer than you know So take what you can Take what you find Take it all into your mind
THE GOSPEL OF ST JUDE
I have walked down this road you call love It is hard and it’s shallow stony ground I have built with these hands some great fortune But my heart still beats a hollow sound Oh yea, still now my tears remain With all my dreams embraced I am told there is peace drawn from wisdom but no rest only answers have I found Oh yea, still now my tears remain With all my dreams embraced
THAT WAS THEN
I would lie awake and cry at night But that was then and this is now I had an anger that was strong enough And I would face the things I run from now And everything we did was wonderful Now its practical and I don’t know how all the moves we made were done for love Now its not enough it seems somehow And all the feeling that I knew would last Well they are gone where are they now And you were beautiful and dangerous And now you’ve sacrificed some sacred cow And I would listen to the things you said They all made sense why don’t they now Not a penny in our pockets then We never worried so why do we now Standing tall against my destiny Oh I had visions and I could see I would walk a thousand miles for you But that was the, that was then And this ins now, this is now Look at me now This is now Over decades things are changing me I have no energy where am I now Too many people seem in need of me When I was younger I felt so free Can you see the things I care about They are not important now time has run out And only memories are left with me this shallow history becomes my destiny I would lie awake and cry all night That was then this is now This is now
TOO LATE
Have you heard about the hollow man? Too frightened so he turned and ran, from the vision that he cherished so. Couldn't see it, so he let it go. Everybody has a secret sin. But everybody needs a chance to win. Anyone could see I'm a man that's sad and broken by the things I've done. But now I'm sorry that I said goodbye. And I'm sorry cause it's me that's crying. I never finished what I started to, but I'm just so sorry that I'm hurting you. But it's too late for us to just be friends. And too late for anything but the end. And too many dreams fell through our hands. And it's just too late to understand. Now I'll never make a new beginning, and I'll never stop the pain from winning. Nothing matters to me anymore now. I've lost the things I was fighting for. And now I'm sorry that the dreams are gone, and I'm sorry cause I'm not the one who comes running when you need me so, cause I'm the fool that's let you go. But it's too late for us to just be friends. And too late for anything but the end. And too many dreams fell through our hands. And it's just too late to understand. All the tears of pain are falling down, (oh, oh, oh, oh). All the tears of pain are falling down, and you know... But it's too late for us to just be friends. And too late for anything but the end. And too many dreams fell through our hands. And it's just too late to understand. But it's too late for us to just be friends. And too late for anything but the end. And too many dreams fell through our hands. And it's just too late to understand. But it's too late...too late...it's too late...
THE BOY FROM THE CHEMIST IS HERE TO SEE YOU
Every day of every year you live your life in hope and fear, that each small sin and imperfection is buried deep beyond detection. But one by one the ghosts return, and each selects its place to burn, into your soft and breaking heart, and this is how the aching starts. The jokes about the ugly kid. The things you said but never did. The people torn and crushed and battered. The ones you broke but should've flattered. Oh, you should have run whilst you had time. Oh, you should have left the past behind. The boy from the chemist is here to see you. The laughing stops cause he's too near you. The girl you left that always loved you. Returns to earth from miles above you now. So wash away the dirty skin, there's always worse remains within. The tangled web and bitter mesh, but each shall have their pound of flesh. No sympathy, no charity, no false pleas of humility. No money back, no guarantee, no great escape for you and me. Oh, you should have run whilst you had time. Oh, you should have left the past behind. The boy from the chemist is here to see you. The laughing stops cause he's too near you. The girl you left that always loved you. Returns to earth from miles above you now. And everyone that's ever suffered, friend or foe or wives or lovers. They'll come back to have their day. In time you find your mind has no escape. Don't believe that you can hide, don't believe they'll be denied. They'll come knocking at your door, this is what they've waited for. The chance to even up the score. The boy from the chemist is here to see you. The laughing stops cause he's too near you. The girl you left that always loved you. Returns to earth from miles above you now.

VICTORY WALTZ
Come take me down to your heart of gold, and I will hear your song. Cover me up in your fantasy world, where I can do you no harm. And hold me now close to you. Fear the thoughts I am sending. Hold me now close again. This dream is almost ending. Come take me down to your victory waltz, and I will break your heart. Gaze once again at the promise we made, that I have torn all apart. And hold me now close to you. As though we're still pretending. Hold me now close again. This dream is almost ending.
