Shifting Sand 06:01
lyrics
buy track
Shifting Sand It's a time of change, we're all on shifting sand It's a time of revolution, that's gonna sweep across this land And what's right is wrong, and all that's free winds up in jail Where the weak grow strong, and the strong grow weaker till they fail We need men of vision, we need women of substance and resolve We need a swift decision, need the strength to stand and take control To right every wrong, to banish indecision Stand free and strong, let freedom be our mission And I, see the horizon on fire, the rivers turn to blood As the flames are burning higher, and I, see the world split in two Cities turn to dust, that's what they're gonna do It's a time of change, we're all on shifting sand It's a time of revolution, that's gonna sweep across this land And what's right is wrong, and all that's free winds up in jail Where the weak grow strong, and the strong grow weaker till they fail And I, see the horizon on fire, The rivers turn to blood, as the flames are burning higher And I, see the world split in two Cities turn to dust, that's what they're gonna do

lyrics

In Right Over My Head I took a chance but now I'm in right over my head I took a risk but now I can't recall what I said Just like Icarus I flew too high Now my wings are burned and I'm about to die I took a chance but now I'm in right over my head I should have known I was swimming right out in the deep I should have known where this was going now the hill is too steep Just like a fool I was much too rash Now I'm falling and I'm bound to crash I should have known I was swimming right out in the deep I took a chance but now I'm in right over my head I took a risk but now I can't recall what I said I should have known I was swimming right out in the deep I should have known where this was going now the hill is too steep In right over my head

Eliza 03:51
lyrics

Eliza You shake it to the left, you shake it to the right You shake it down the middle too Your feet doin’ one thing your hands do another That syncopated rhythm you do All eyes upon you Fascination on the face of the crowd The dance would overcome you Your head somewhere high in the clouds Oh Oh Eliza, whatever happened to you Oh oh oh Eliza, I wonder what became of you Head up head down hands down to the ground Swing out with your leg and sway Oh oh oh Eliza, those really were the days Young at heart nothing much to think of Salad days through and through Then comes work and somewhere to live And maybe a family too The next thing you know, your bones are getting old The cares start to weigh you down There's no escaping the ties you're making Tend to make you wear a frown Oh Oh Eliza, whatever happened to you Oh oh oh Eliza, I wonder what became of you Head up head down hands down to the ground Swing out with your leg and sway Oh oh oh Eliza, those really were the days

Michelangelo 03:41
lyrics
buy track
Michelangelo I'd know your face anywhere Etched into my mind, quite unforgettable I'd know those hands anywhere Small and petite, something Michelangelo Might chisel out marble, cold hard stone Chosen from the mountains, somewhere near Rome Polished and precise, a work of art To stand the test of centuries, still in my heart That's where I always go wrong Put you on a pedestal, put you in a gallery That's where I come on too strong So unrealistic, it's someone you could never be I know what happens eventually That rarified air is quite indigestible That's what always happens eventually It's impossible to be, something Michelangelo Might chisel out marble, cold hard stone Chosen from the mountains, somewhere near Rome Polished and precise, a work of art To stand the test of centuries, still in my heart That's where I always go wrong Put you on a pedestal, put you in a gallery That's where I come on too strong So unrealistic, it's someone you could never be That's where I always go wrong Put you on a pedestal, put you in a gallery That's where I come on too strong So unrealistic, it's someone you could never be

Funky City 03:10
lyrics

Funky City Too many rainy days Too many cold dark nights The town where I live, it just makes me shiver I want to be in the bright lights I'm moving to funky city, 'cos that's where I want to live I'm moving to funky city, 'cos I like what it's got to give Too many broken dreams Too many one-way streets The town where I live, it just makes me wither I want to dance to a different beat I'm moving to funky city, 'cos that's where I want to live I'm moving to funky city, 'cos I like what it's got to give

Jump Back 03:30
lyrics
buy track
Jump Back I'm not into anything that drags me down Weighs on me heavy or makes me frown But sometimes avoidance has the opposite effect Next time I look now I'm up to my neck Jump back, try to run the other way Jump back, I'll deal with it another day Jump back, that ain't my kind of game Jump back, it gets you all the same I'm not into anything that holds me back Slows me down and won't cut me slack But just like a spell its got a hold on me Turning me to stone taking my energy Jump back, try to run the other way Jump back, I'll deal with it another day Jump back, that ain't my kind of game Jump back, it gets you all the same Sometimes you gotta go back to pay your dues Before you break free you gotta play the blues

Arrange The Stars 03:51
lyrics
buy track
Arrange The Stars A leading light, a woman of note A breed apart, so high and remote A rising star in the firmament Here to stay, permanent A work of art with timeless grace Self possessed remember her face She's all the rage with those in the know She's not like the others who come and go Arrange the stars across the heavens Which one shines the most A mythical creature we all adore A lover to men a mother to all She stands on high, untouched by it all The essence of graceful so smooth so tall Look on her beauty hear her siren call Lifting you up you're scared you may fall She's all the rage with those in the know She's not like the others who come and go Arrange the stars across the heavens Which one shines the most

How High 04:04
lyrics
buy track
How High A river of feeling A flood of disbelief A sea of expectation An ocean of relief Just some of the emotions Come visiting my shore Those waves crash against me In a storm I can't ignore My heart is so full that it buffers at the strain How am I supposed to ride the feelings it contains Is this living, is this learning Is this crucial is this yearning How high can I fly How hot the sun There's some kind of spell Some kind of magic going on Some kind of potion means My freedom has gone But I quite like the sensation It's really so intense I don't know where it's going But I'm loving the suspense My heart is so full that it buffers at the strain How am I supposed to ride the feelings it contains Is this living, is this learning Is this crucial is this yearning How high can I fly How hot the sun How high is too high Where all things become one

A Quantum Event 03:30
lyrics
buy track
A Quantum Event It might take a moment, it might take a day It might take a week or two, who's gonna say It might be the work of a genius Or it might be the spirits at play One thing's for sure, it's here to stay It's not gonna sparkle and then fade away Like a ghost of the night or a quantum event This singular entity is heaven sent Love is a total state of being Wraps up my world in a blaze of feeling A state of grace with perfect sight A weightless place of pure delight Writers will write, the poets will rhyme The violin will play its plaintiff line The spirits will rise the world will glow Slowly like dawn the light will grow One thing's for sure, it's here to stay It's not gonna sparkle and then fade away Like a ghost of the night or a quantum event This singular entity is heaven sent Love is a total state of being Wraps up my world in a blaze of feeling A state of grace with perfect sight A weightless place of pure delight

High Noon 03:15
lyrics
buy track
High Noon It's high noon at the OK coral The gloves are off and they're on the prowl It's high noon and the main contenders Are facing off, they'll be no surrender You might think we're too sophisticated To need our egos vindicated You might think that we're over zealous When you find we're feeling jealous But this one goes down till the last man stood How quick can you draw, hope your aim is good This one goes down till there's blood on the street Only one clear winner left on their feet It's a Mexican stand-off where none will agree No negotiation a fait-accomplis Irresistible force meets unmovable object The winner takes all, the loser a reject You might think we're too sophisticated To need our egos vindicated You might think that we're over zealous When you find we're feeling jealous But this one goes down till the last man stood How quick can you draw, hope your aim is good This one goes down till there's blood on the street Only one clear winner left on their feet

It's So Unfair 03:49
lyrics
buy track
It's So Unfair It's so unfair There's only one of you It's so unfair You're with somebody too It's so unfair (yes it is) Why'd I fall in love with you? I guess it's true All is fair in love and war I guess I knew What I was hoping for Was never ever going to happen Why'd I fall in love with you? In another life, maybe another dimension We'd both be together, that I hardly need to mention In another world, one where all things were equal We'd star in the film and we'd star in the sequel . . .

Is It For Nothing 04:04
lyrics
buy track
Is It For Nothing Play the game of give and take Love the on you choose to hate Get all the answers on a plate No reason left to hesitate Find yourself far beyond where you've ever been before Love is your to give and take To empathise and emulate Don't be slow now don't be late Free yourself and liberate When you find yourself far beyond where you've ever been before Does your heart play the fool Does your love obey the rules Fill your soul with only love And the gift from up above Is to be free, is to be free I believe in having fun And talking straight when one-to-one That down below and up above Are really just a state of love Where you find yourself far beyond where you've ever been before I don't mind waiting but I need to know Is it for nothing or will our love grow It's been a long time but I guess it's so A sweet reminder that I'm not just for show I don't mind waiting but I need to know Is it for nothing or will our love grow
