OCR
Well the music pounds
And my head spins round
And the longing comes over me.
I must find the bar
I know it’s not far
It is the one place where I can see.
Well I can see your soul and I can see you’re sold
And I can see you looking back at me.
I can see you’ve cried and that your soul’s died
And I can see you looking back at me.
But the disco lights
Begin to dim my sight
But if I stare enough I start to see.
Let’s get away from here
Don’t like the atmosphere,
Let’s find a refuge where we are free.
Well I can see your soul and I can see you’re sold
And I can see you looking back at me.
I can see you’ve cried and that your soul’s died
And I can see you looking back at me.
I can see your soul.
I can see your soul.

Become my disease
I feel ill, I feel tired.
I feel lost, all hope expired.
I long to be free
Be what I could be:
But I have become my disease.
I feel trapped without a choice.
A preacher without a voice.
I long to be free
Be what I could be:
But I have become my disease.
I want to live, don't want to die.
But some days it's hard to try.
I long to be free But I won't be what I could be.
If I become my disease.
Become my disease
If I become my disease.
If I become my disease.
If I become my disease.
Won't I be what I could be. If I become my disease.
I won't be what I could be. If I become my disease.
I won't be what I could be. If I become my disease.
I won't be what I could be. If I become my disease.
I won't be what I could be. If I become my disease.
I won't be what I could be.
If I become my disease.

Be with you (remix)
04:38

Be with you
Feeling much too tired
Feeling uninspired
But my one desire
Is to be with you.
Been wasting time
Been reading crime
But what's on my mind
Is to be with you.
That's the way that I want to spend my days
Must see you and I want no delays.
You can't treat me this way
You can't leave me waiting like this.
You wouldn't treat me this way
If you knew how I long for your kiss.
Looking every day
Wondering what to say
If you said you'd stay
And I'd be with you.
Nearly lost my mind
'Cause you're so unkind
But some peace I'd find
If I could be with you.
That's the way that I want to spend my days
Must see you and I want no delays.
You can't treat me this way
You can't leave me waiting like this.
You wouldn't treat me this way
If you knew how I long for your kiss.
Feeling all alone
And I want you home
Find the joy we've known
When I can be with you.
You've got me on the run
Lost all I've won
Forgotten all I've done
Want to be with you.
That's the way that I want to spend my days
Must see you and I want no delays.
You can't treat me this way!

Waiting
The screen tells me they'll be delay
But more than that it does not say.
Perhaps I'll be here all day
But my mind wants to get away.
I know I'm wasting my time
With too much pain in my mind.
But all this waiting's unkind
And my hope is undermined.
I'm waiting
I'm waiting
I'm waiting.
I'm thinking the worst is now here
And no sign of joy will appear
But this is fault of my fear
That the end is quite near.
I'll go home and lie on my bed
Ignore the pain in my head.
Forget the warnings I've read
Watch the TV instead.
I'm waiting
I'm waiting
I'm waiting.

Ask the DAC (remix)

Ask the DAC
That painting that's been on the wall for years,
No one would notice if it disappears.
That ancient carpet that has got a hole,
No one would care if it was sold.
But this sort of work requires a faculty,
You'd better ask the DAC.
The DAC Secretary guides a lot,
The Archdeacon does something but I'm not sure what.
They are all there to be a help to you
But you need to see their point of view.
And most sort of work requires a faculty,
So definitely ask the DAC.
If it's a vicarage or a rectory
Makes no odds so far as I can see.
But to some folk who live in Ross
They really do seem to give a toss.
But it's more complex than it might seem
It will certainly need a Pastoral Scheme.
You'd better not mess with the DMPC
Whatever it is they're meant to be.
You'd better not mess with the DMPC
The Measure is there for all to see.
If you don't know which way to go
Have you considered a BMO?
Is your benefice non-contiguous,
Or is the Scheme quite ambiguous?
But you can link deaneries on the border,
And probably get by with a Pastoral Order.
But work in church requires a faculty,
So definitely speak to the DAC.
I've had it up to here with interested parties,
And as for patrons, don't get me started.
But move a font, or remove a pew,
There’s one thing that you must do.
For this sort of work requires a faculty,
You'd better ask the DAC!

Forgotten
Be inspired and try to break out.
Things desired and lost
Can be forgotten.
When you are tired , and want a way out
Don't lose your hope
And be abandoned.
Things conspire, and try to break you.
But let them drop
And be forgotten.
When you are lost, can't find a way out
Don't lose your joy
And be down hearted.
For hope will come
When you least expect it.
For love will come
When you let it.
And it will change
The way you're feeling.
Be inspired and try to break out.
Things desired and lost
Can be forgotten,
Can be forgotten,
Can be forgotten.

Try to lie (remix)

Try to lie
Don't try to lie to me,
Don't try to lie to me.
Because it makes me sad and it makes me cry
And I can't stand the tears in my eyes.
You're burning up my heart,
You're burning up my life.
Don't want to have to part,
Don't want to have to leave.
If I could find a way,
To make you understand.
I can't stand another day,
Can't wait another hour.
Don't try to lie to me,
Don't try to lie to me.
Because it makes me sad and it makes me cry
And I can't stand the tears in my eyes.
You're ruining my life,
You've taken all I have.
You've cut me like a knife,
You've hurt me with your lies.
I tried to give you all I owned,
I let you choose what we would do.
But I'd be better off alone
Than to hear you lie again.
Don't try to lie to me,
Don't try to lie to me.
Because it makes me sad and it makes me cry
And I can't stand the tears in my eyes.
Lie to me: don't lie to me.
Don't lie to me: don't lie to me.
There's no more that I can say,
There's no that I can do.
But I've got to find a way,
To get the truth from you.
You're burning up my heart,
You're burning up my life.
Don't want to have to part,
Don't want to have to leave.

Picture me
Picture me on a road to freedom
Picture me in the driving rain
Picture me on my way to glory
Picture me back in hell again.
No one knows what road they travel
No one knows if they are free
No one cares if they are lonely
No one cares if they cease to be.
Picture me in love with someone
Picture me going insane.
Picture me in my own little castle
Picture me on the street again.
No one knows what road they travel
No one knows if they are free
No one cares if they are lonely
No one cares if they cease to be.
Picture me alone on a mountain
Picture me climbing in vain
Picture me on my way to the summit
Picture me falling back again.
No one knows what road they travel
No one knows if they are free
No one cares if they are lonely
No one cares if they cease to be.

NO ONE HOME
When I'm thinking I can see the night
But the city lights are still in sight.
When I think I will call a friend
The memories come and they won't end.
When I'm thinking that I need someone:
The phone is ringing but there's no one home.
The phone is ringing but there's no one home.
I will have to be alone tonight
I will have to find what's wrong or right.
When I think at how my life has changed
The memories they all seem strange.
When I'm thinking that I need someone:
The phone is ringing but there's no one home.
The phone is ringing but there's no one home.
I think of you,
I think you're here:
And I know there's nothing to fear.
Then I remember you have gone
But somehow life goes on.
I think of you,
I think you're here:
And I know there's nothing to fear.
Then I remember you have gone
But somehow life goes on.
When I'm thinking I can see the night
But the city lights are still in sight.
When I think I will call a friend
The memories come and they won't end.
When I'm thinking that I need someone:
The phone is ringing but there's no one home.
The phone is ringing but there's no one home.

The Meeting (remix)

The Meeting
Sitting in a hot room with nothing to say.
The others are talking but I look away
But from the window there's nothing to see
Only my reflection looking back at me.
How I wish I had never arrived
Made my excuses and stayed outside
How I wish I'd not complied
And stayed at home in my bed and cried.
Now they've stopped speaking and they're looking at me.
I wish I'd gone and there's nothing to see.
But I can't hide and I feel weak,
But there's no escape and I'll have to speak.
How I wish I had never arrived
Made my excuses and stayed outside
How I wish I'd not complied
And stayed at home in my bed and cried.
Brain dies,
Tongue rots:
I've started speaking but I wish I'd stop.
The meeting's over and it's time to go home.
I grab my coat and stumble out alone.
But I find I've forgotten my phone
I'd go back but they'd only moan!
How I wish I had never arrived
Made my excuses and stayed outside
How I wish I'd not complied
And stayed at home in my bed and cried.

A Song for Lenny
If I had an audience of one, I'd still sing my song, I'd still sing it.
If I was writing only for you, I'd still write for you I'd keep writing.
The band came and the band left but all the time I kept hoping
That sometime the moment would come and I'd seize it and not blow it.
If I lived my life all again I'd still play my guitar, yes I'd play it.
If I was playing all on my own, I'd still wish that someone could hear it.
Just to know there is someone who really hears what I'm saying
Just to know someone who cares and tells me so that I know it
If I had an audience of one, I'd still sing my song, I'd still sing it.
If I was writing only for you, I'd still write for you I'd keep writing.
The band came and the band went but all the time I kept hoping
That sometime the moment would come and I'd seize it and not blow it.

Keep on Talking
Incense swirling, processing all around.
Voices singing, fills the place with sound.
I keep on listening, trying to hear a voice
To help me find some way to make a choice.
Well they keep on talking but there's no one there.
Counselling, praying, drinking were a way.
Anything to get me through the day.
Present, future it all just seems to be a game.
Goodness, badness, boredom all seem the same.
Well they keep on talking but they still don't care.
Somewhere, nowhere travelling without a hope.
Choose any option to try to cope.
Winner, loser I ask them what should I do.
They give me answers, but my problems grew.
Well they keep on talking but they get nowhere.
They keep on talking and they never stop!

FINDING A WAY
Well it's dark outside but I recall the sun
When I think about the things we've done.
How we've made it through all the sobs and tears
And found a way to subdue our fears.
I can't believe we've grown so old
I can't believe I could feel so tired
I can't believe I could take so long
Or could feel so uninspired.
Well it's wet outside but I recall the dry
When the rain was gone and the sun was high.
But when I think of you I always smile
Your calming word could always reconcile.
The days that may be left are few
But think of you I always do.
The days that may be left are few
But they'll be filled with joy and wonderful.
So much has changed and so much is new
And so much has gone for the years they flew.
But what can never change is my love for you
Or the happy times which we once knew.
Well give me one more chance give me one more smile
Give me one more hope walk with me one more mile.
For whatever comes, whatever falls
We'll find a way to face it all.

THE GET-AWAY
I’m wasting all of the day:
Finding reasons to stay.
But if I tried to change my mind,
I’d never find a way.
I’m crying more than I should
Thinking more than is good.
But if I had to move away
I know I never could.
I never could find
The drive I need to make my get away
Get away, get away.
Age lies, time flies
Even if you try.
Eyes cry, love dies.
Even if you try.
I’m crying more than I should
Thinking more than is good.
But if I had to move away
I know I never could.
I never could find
The drive I need to make my get away
Get away, get away.
