Things they taught you at school
Can sometimes disappear
Why do you disbelieve
The things I said were true
Of a land nothing planned
It just happens
Girls and boys who shout come out to play

With a queen cold as ice
You'd best take my advice
To steer clear of her charm
She's easily annoyed
What's that sound, you turn around
It just happens there are bells
And reindeer drawing a sleigh

There troubled with snow covered peaks
Till the end of time
We know you're a daughter of Eve
And a friend of mine - no

Yes I'm certain that you
Will influence the rest
She could turn you to stone
You're suitably impressed
And so easily led
There just happen to be repercussions
Months ahead

Oh there troubled with snow covered peaks
Till the end of time
We know you're a daughter of Eve
And a friend of mine - no

. . .

Hackett To Pieces

[No lyrics]

. . .


Winds of change are blowing constantly
Watch the leaves that fall from every tree
Don't fall away from me

With your eyes you promise sanctuary
All that's left is mediocrity
Don't fall away
Don't fall away from me

Thoughts that run away, she'll be back some day for my love
Seeds that take the root, later they'll hold fruit
Show your love, please turn around

Evening falling on an unmade bed
Each new morning finds a moth is dead
Don't fall away
Don't fall away from me

. . .

Spectral Mornings

[No lyrics]

The Steppes

[No lyrics]

. . .


A gypsy compliment for (kneel down)
The scent of tyranny's daughter (we are found)
At seventeen were bled in wild cream

Passing milk thistle by
Fox on the run
Old ragged robin flies
Virtue undone

A garland of green flowers (field of lime)
Surround a silver smoke tree (yours and mine)
Sweet marigold, not easy to find

Passing milk thistle by...

. . .

The Air Conditioned Nightmare

[No lyrics]

. . .


My lucky number's on a prison door
And it's found on everything I wear

And I've got to get away from 151
Cell 151

Sharing it with me is a man who shot his wife
And I'm afraid to fall asleep at night

And I've got to get away from 151
Cell 151

And it makes me sad
Thinking about the past feeling bad
I know I've been blind
All I needs a space to unwind

But I can't stay in 151
Cell 151

Hear me when I cry
I can't see the sky
Too much time
I've left the world behind

And I've got to get away from 151
Cell 151

And it makes me sad
Thinkin' 'bout the past feeling bad
I know I've been blind
All I needs a space to unwind

But I can't stay in 151

151, I've gotta get away from 151
151, I've gotta get away from 151

151, 151

. . .

Slogans

[No lyrics]

. . .


There are many things that I would rather do
Many many places I would rather be

Splendour wings of ambition
Melted by the sun
To the sea of remorse
Graveyard come

Dogs that bark at night are fearful of the moon
Will the sound of children's toys remain in tune

The same light shines on vineyards
That makes deserts its true
What awaits me if I follow you - ooh

And all that's behind me
And I flew this time
Never falling
Since your eyes first touched mine

. . .

Prayers And Dreams

[No lyrics]

. . .


Above the colour of amber stained evening
An audience danced
Led by a showering hand that brings water
An audience danced
Led by a showering hand that brings water
To both sea and land
Unlock the door of night
Nebulous bright

Again renewed by the vessels of Isis
You're ready to fly
Although the journey is still far from ended
You gaze at the sky
Above the cloudless night
Nebulous bright

He who knows love knows who you are
Worlds you may find lit by a star

He who knows love knows who you are
Worlds you may find lit by a star

Again renewed by the vessels of Isis
You're ready to fly

He who knows love knows who you are
Worlds you may find lit by a star...

. . .

Hammer In The Sand

[No lyrics]

Ace Of Wands

[No lyrics]

. . .


There are many friends that I once knew
who felt the same special thing that I share with you
They've grown apart in different ways
I wonder if someone hears as I start to say
I'm hoping love will last
Yes I'm hoping love will last
On and on, on and on

Why do I dream love's labour's lost
I'm just a face with a name that you soon forgot
But when I'm scared the most, the nightmare ends
then safe and sound I awake in your arms again -
I'm hoping love will last
Yes I'm hoping love will last
On and on, on and on

How can I go on alone when your love,
When your love is all I've known
Sometimes we stay many miles away
You know you're here every minute throughout the day
within my thoughts,
Within my thoughts so take good care
I only wait for the moments we both can share
Hoping love will last
Yes I'm hoping, hoping love will last
On and on, on and on
