1. _ C'est La Vie
c'est la vie
Have your leaves all turned to brown
Will you scatter them around you
C'est la vie
Do you love
And then how am i to know
If you don't let your love show for me
C'est la vie
In the night
Do you light a lover's fire
Do the ashes of desire for you remain
Like the sea
There's a love too deep to show
Took a storm before my love flowed for you
C'est la vie
Like a song
Out of tune and out of time
All i needed was a rhyme for you
C'est la vie
Do you give
Do you live from day to day
Is there no song i can play for you
C'est la vie

What's your game
Alright you've got it
Take your aim
Alright you shot it
It's been so long your welcome back my friends

3. _ Lucky Man
He had white horses
And ladies by the score
All dressed in satin
And waiting by the door
Ooooh, what a lucky man he was
Ooooh, what a lucky man he was
White lace and feathers
They made up his bed
A gold covered mattress
On which he was laid
Ooooh, what a lucky man he was
Ooooh, what a lucky man he was
He went to fight wars
For his country and his king
Of his honor and his glory
The people would sing
Ooooh, what a lucky man he was
Ooooh, what a lucky man he was
A bullet had found him
His blood ran as he cried
No money could save him
So he laid down and he died
Ooooh, what a lucky man he was
Ooooh, what a lucky man he was

4. _ Knife Edge
Just a step cried the sad man
Take a look down at the madman
Theatre kings on silver wings
Fly beyond reason
From the flight of the seagull
Come the spread claws of the eagle
Only fear breaks the silence
As we all kneel pray for guidance
Tread the road cross the abyss
Take a look down at the madness
On the streets of the city
Only spectres still have pity
Patient queues for the gallows
Sing the praises of the hallowed
Our machines feed the furnace
If they take us they will burn us
Will you still know who you are
When you come to who you are
When the flames have their season
Will you hold to your reason
Loaded down with your talents
Can you still keep your balance
Can you live on a knife-edge

5. _ The Sage
I carry the dust of a journey
That cannot be shaken away
It lives deep within me
For i breathe it every day
You and i are yesterdays answers
The earth of the past come to flesh
Eroded by times rivers
To the shapes we now possess.
Come share of my breath and my substance
And mingle our streams and our times
In bright infinite moments
Our reasons are lost in our eyes.

6. _ Daddy
It was a cold night in december
The snow lay on the ground
She was coming home from school one night
From the other side of town
It was getting late, there was something wrong
Then i heard the news
A tv flash and by 9 o'clock
They'd found her socks and shoes
Daddy come and bring me home
I didn't know which way to turn
I was shaking like a leaf
I got into my car and drove
Searching every street
Has anybody seen her
Have you found my little girl
She's all i have, all i possess
And to me, she means the world
I can hear her calling
Daddy come and bring me home
Daddy, daddy come and bring me home
Daddy, when are you gonna bring me home
As time went by each silent night
We knew all hope was gone
We knew the light had flickered
From the eyes that once had shone
They caught a man in a bar one night
He confessed to what he'd done
He'd laid her body out in some dark wood
Just didn't know which one,
Daddy, daddy come and bring me home
Daddy, daddy come and bring me home
I just couldn't leave her out there
Lying on her own
'cause she belongs to me
And i belong to her
I know she rests in heaven
With the angels on a throne
But now i hear her calling
Daddy, daddy come and bring me home
Daddy come and bring me home
Daddy, daddy come and bring me home
Daddy, daddy come and bring me home

7. _ Still....you Turn Me On
Do you want to be an angel,
Do you wanna be an angel
Do you wanna be a star
Do you wanna play some magic
On my guitar
Do you wanna be a poet
Do you wanna be my string
You could be anything
Do you wanna be the lover of another undercover
You could even be the
Man on the moon
Do you wanna be the player
Do you wanna be the string
Let me tell you something
It just don't mean a thing
You see it really doesn't matter
When you're buried in disguise
By the dark glass on your eyes
Though your flesh has crystallised
Still...you turn me on
Do you wanna be the pillow
Where i lay my head
Do you wanna be the feathers
Lying on my bed
Do you wanna be the cover
Of a magazine
Create a scene
Every day a little sadder
A little madder
Someone get me a ladder
Do you wanna be the singer
Do you wanna be the song
Let me tell you something
You just couldn't be more wrong
You see i really have to tell you
That it all gets so intense
From my experience
It just doesn't seem to make sense
Still...you turn me on

8. _ Pirates
Who'll make his mark
The captain cried
To the devil drink a toast
We'll glut the hold
With cups of gold
And we'll feed the sea with ghosts
I see your hunger for a fortune
Could be better
Served beneath my flag
If you've the stomach
For a broadside
Come aboard my pretty boys
I will take you and make you
Everything you've ever dreamed
Make fast the guns tonight we sail
When the high tide floods the bay
Cut free the lines
And square the yards
Get the black flag stowed away
The turk the arab and the spaniard
Will soon have pennies on their eyes
And any other laden fancy
We will take her by surprise
I will take you and make you
Everything you've ever dreamed
Six days off the cuban coast
When a sail ahead they spied
A galleon of the treasure fleet
The mizzen lookout cried
Closer to the wind my boys
The mad eyed captain roared
For every man that's alive tonight
Will be hauling gold aboard
Spare us the galleon begged
But mercy's face had fled
Blood ran from the screaming souls
The cutlass harvested
Driven to the quarter deck
The last survivor fell
She's ours my boys
The captain grinned
And no one left to tell
The captain rose from a silk divan
With a pistol in his fist
And shot the lock from an iron box
And a blood red ruby kissed
I give you jewelry of turquoise
A crucifix of solid gold
One hundred thousand silver pieces
It is just as i foretold
You, you see there before you
Everything you've ever dreamed
Anchored in an indigo moonlit bay
Gold eyed 'round fires
The sea thieves lay
Morning, white shells
And a pipe of clay
As the wind filled their footprints
They were far, far away
Our sails swell full
As we brave all seas
On a westward wind
To live as we please
With the wicked wild eyed woman
Of portobello town
Where we've been told
That a purse of gold
Buys any man a crown
They will serve you and cloth you
Exchange your rags
For the velvet coats of kings
Who'll drink a toast with me
I give you liberty
This town is ours - tonight
Landlord wine
And make it the finest
Make it a cup for a sea dogs thirst
Two long years of bones and beaches
Fever and leaches did their worst
So fill the night with paradise
Bring me peach and peacock
'till i burst
But first, i want a soft touch
In the right place
I want to feel like a king tonight
Ten on the black
To beat the frenchman
Back you dogs
Give them room to turn
Now open wide sweet heavens gate
Tonight were gonna
See if heaven burns
I want an angel on a gold chain
And i'll ride her to the stars
It's the last time
For a long, long time
Come the daybreak we embark
On the flood of the morning tide
Once more the ocean cried
This company will return one day
Though we feel your tears
It's the price we pay
For there's prizes to be taken
And glory to be found
Cut free the chains
Make fast your souls
We are eldorado bound
I will take you
For always, forever, together
Until hell calls our names
Who'll drink a toast with me
To the devil and the deep blue sea
Gold drives a man to dream

9. _ Touch And Go
Man in the street nowhere to sleep
No time for nothing no patek phillipe
Pedal to the metal blow by blow
You're runnin' with the devil it's touch and go
They're leaving you nothing and nowhere to go
Just put you in the corner like an old banjo
The strings are breakin' but you can't say no
You're runnin' with the devil it's touch and go
Systematic one man show
You're caught up in the middle where the four winds blow
No salvation 20 below
You're runnin' with the devil it's touch and go
All systems go friend or foe
It's all dependin' on the dice you throw
Come without a warning like a u.f.o.
You're runnin' with the devil it's touch and go
You see this woman on a t.v. show
She's drippin' in diamonds from head to toe
They make you believe it's the status quo
You're runnin' with the devil it's touch and go
All systems go friend or foe
It's all dependin' on the dice you throw
Come without a warning like a u.f.o.
You're runnin' with the devil it's touch and go

10. _ Battlefield
Clear the battlefield and let me see
All the profit from our victory.
You talk of freedom, starving children fall.
Are you deaf when you hear the season's call?
Were you there to watch the earth be scorched?
Did you stand beside the spectral torch?
Know the leaves of sorrow turned their face,
Scattered on the ashes of disgrace.
Every blade is sharp; the arrows fly
We're the victims of your armies' lie,
Where the blades of grass and arrows reign
Then there will be very little sorrow,
Very little pain.
Confusion...will be my epitaph
As i cross a cracked and broken path
If we make it, we can all sit back and laugh.

11. _ Heart On Ice
Just take my heart put it on ice
'cause i don't think i could stand another blow
Just one more tumble of the dice
Though it's slipping through my hands
I can't let go
And when the hard rain falls
Whatever you may say
There's no hiding in this jungle
You just can't run away
And i'm sorry when i fell from grace
Unable to conceal
Only passion is a fool to chase
The loneliness i fell
Just take my heart into the night
It no longer needs to see the light of day
Heaven knows i cannot fight
As the edges of my soul get chipped away
Walking down this street
The gutter runs with tears
I would sell my heart
To cross the bridge of compromise
But you cannot walk on broken glass
'cause every step you take
Is just one cut deeper than the last
Just one more heart you break
Just take my heart put it on ice
Your love is a fire, a burning hurricane
We can never cross the river of good-byes
While desire hides in the darkness
Searching for the flame
There were so many days
And still i wonder why
I will never mend these broken wings
No matter how i try
I thought we had it all, but now it seems
We just flickered like a candle
In the cathedral of our dreams
Just take my heart put it on ice
Your love is a fire, a burning hurricane
We can never cross the river of good- byes
While desire hides in the darkness
Searching for the flame
Just take my heart put it on ice
Your love is a fire, a burning hurricane
We can never cross the river of good-byes
While desire hides in the darkness
Searching for the flame

12. _ Closer To Believing
I am closer to believing
Than i ever was before
On the crest of this elation
Must i crash upon the shore
And with the driftwood of acquaintance
Light the fire to love once more
I am wind blown...i am times.
To be closer to believing
To be just a breath away
On the death of inspiration
I would buy back yesterday
But there's no crueller illusion
There's no sharper coin to pay
As i reach out... it slips away
From the opium of custom
To the ledges of extremes
Don't believe it till you've held it
Life is seldom what it seems
But lay your heart upon the table
And in the shuffling of dreams
Remember who on earth you are
I need me
You need you
We want us
But of course you know i love you
Or what else am i here for
Only you not face to face
But side by side for evermore
And i need to be here with you
For without you what am i
Just another fool out searching
For some heaven in the sky
Take me closer to believing
Take me forward lead me on
Through collision and confusion
While there's life beneath the sun
You are the reason i continue
So near for so long
So close yet so far away
I need me
You need you
We want us to live forever
So don't let the curtain fall
Measure after measure
Of writing on the wall
That burns so brightly
It blinds us all
I need me
You need you
We want us to be together
On sundays in the rain
Closer than forever
Against or with the grain
To ride the storms of love again
So be closer to believing
Though your world is torn apart
For a moment changes all things
And to end is but to start
And if your journey's unrewarded
May your god lift up your heart
You are windblown
But you are mine

13. _ Karn Evil 9, 3rd Impression
Man alone; born of stone;
Will stamp the dust of time
His hands strike the flame of his soul;
Ties a rope to a tree and hangs the universe
Until the winds of laughter blows cold.
Fear that rattles in men's ears
And rears it's hideous head
Dread .... death .... in the wind ....
Man of steel pray and kneel
With fever's blazing torch
Thrust in the face of the night;
Draws a blade if compassion
Kissed by countless kings
Whose jewelled trumpet words blind his sight.
Walls that no man thought would fall
The altars of the just
Crushed .... dust .... in the wind ....
No man yields who flies in my ship
Danger!
Let the bridge computer speak
Stranger!
Load your program. i am yourself.
No computer stands in my way
Only blood can cancel my pain
Guardians of a new clear dawn
Let the maps of war be drawn.
Rejoice! glory is ours!
Our young men have not died in vain,
Their graves need no flowers
The tapes have recorded their names.
I am all there is
Negative! primitive! limited! i let you live!
But i gave you life
What else could you do?
To do what was right
I'm perfect! are you?

14. _ The Miracle
So here we stand between the gates
Upon the dawn the eagle waits
His tallons shine like daggers
On the wings of revolution
In pain the madman staggers
But there is no solution
Another sword upon a throne
But now the jester laughs alone
Beneath this cloak of treason
Appears a thousand faces
The truth must stand to reason
For those who's heart it chases
Beyond the world of mortal man
Within this sanctuary the spectre begins to tremble
They lay his spear upon the plan
On a sea of diamonds lies a ship of glass
Through the mist the torches pass
Their banners fly in splendour
The ghosts of night decended
With grace their souls surrender
The seal must be defended
Still the dragons reign supreme
Breathing fire till we scream
They leave us nothing but our dreams
No shield can save us
It's gonna take a miracle
We're searching for a miracle
It's gonna take a miracle
We're searching for a miracle
Stand clear, there's storm above
And there is something left to fear
All speed, before the blade is drawn
And there is blood upon the seed
Let no one yield we're on the field
Where deeds eclipse the sun
Where the brave are told on a thread of gold
The tapestry is spun
As they speak of dreams their amour gleams
There's calm before the storm
But all can see their destiny
The bishop takes the pawn
In the sky the arrows fly
Each one to it's mark
Defend the true lead us through
This voyage in the dark
Make us strong you know right from wrong
Teach us what it's worth
Cos every heart that aches is what it takes
To save our mother earth
Lay your life upon the line
It's death for glory every time
You give up yours and i'll keep mine
No shield can save us
It's gonna take a miracle
We're searching for a miracle
It's gonna take a miracle
We're searching for a miracle
So here we stand between the gates
Upon the dawn the eagle waits
His tallons shine like daggers
On the wings of a revolution
In the pain the madman staggers
But there is no solution
Still the dragons reign supreme
Breathing fire till we scream
They leave us nothing but our dreams
No shield can save us
It's gonna take a miracle
We're searching for a miracle
It's gonna take a miralce
We're searching for a miracle

15. _ I Believe In Father Christmas
They said there'll be snow at christmas
They said there'll be peace on earth
But instead it just kept on raining
A veil of tears for the virgin's birth
I remember one christmas morning
A winters light and a distant choir
And the peal of a bell and that christmas tree smell
And their eyes full of tinsel and fire
They sold me a dream of christmas
They sold me a silent night
And they told me a fairy story
'till i believed in the israelite
And i believed in father christmas
And i looked at the sky with excited eyes
'till i woke with a yawn in the first light of dawn
And i saw him and through his disguise
I wish you a hopeful christmas
I wish you a brave new year
All anguish pain and sadness
Leave your heart and let your road be clear
They said there'll be snow at christmas
They said there'll be peace on earth
Hallelujah noel be it heaven or hell
The christmas you get you deserve
