The chain
Chorus
Break the chain
We know you're ready so it's time to change
Turn the page
Change your costume and take the stage
Verse 1
Wake up in the morning and kiss the wife
Go to the office, it's a boring life
Look out of the window at the world outside
Life's like a train and you're just there for the ride
Verse 2
Go out in the evening to see the show
You dream you're in the spotlight and inside you know
That one day you could make it you just need to try
But deep inside you realise that you're far to shy
Middle 8
Break the chain, put on the greasepaint and take the stage
The crowd are cheering as you take your place
Then you're performing and you've found your fame
But it's all dreams until you break the chain
Chorus
Break the chain
We know you're ready so it's time to change
Turn the page
Change your costume and take the stage
Verse 3
Wake up in the morning and the memories fade
Go to the office just to earn your pay
Look out the window the world's a stage
But deep inside you know you're not that brave
Chorus
Break the chain
We know you're ready so it's time to change
Turn the page
Change your costume and take the stage

Sun worship

Sun worship
I hear the music of the ancient ones
Singing their tributes to the moon
Dancing round the stones until the morning comes
Hoping that it doesn't come too soon
I see the wiches at their cauldron fire
I hear them chanting charms and spells
I smell the potions as the flames grow higher
I see but I will never tell
I feel the magic in the air
I see the flowers in their hair
I feel the power but I'm not scared
Though all my senses scream beware
I hear the throbbing of the mighty drums
Marking the passage of the night
I see the druids as the morning comes
Chanting their magic and their might
I feel the magic in the air
I see the flowers in their hair
I feel the power but I'm not scared
Though all my senses scream beware
And though these images are in my dreams
And though the ancient days are gone
I'll turn to face the east midsummers day
To pay my homage to the sun
To pay my homage to the sun....

Soldiers of steel

Soldiers of Steel
In this green and pleasant land
Through the towns and countryside
March an army of steel soldiers
Half a mile with every stride
Marching through the countryside
Brutal structures with no appeal
Mile by mile, stride by stride
An invading force of wire and steel
Flowing through the fields and forests
Power coursing through their veins
A cavalry of skeletal warriors
Holding tight their horses reigns
Marching through the countryside
Mile by mile, stride by stride
Middle 8
A greedy world with no conscience
An insatiable appetite for more power
This monster demands more and more
Another field, another tower
With no regard to pleasing form
Function is their only goal
A platoon of saluting sentries
Standing still while on patrol
Marching through the countryside
Brutal structures with no appeal
Mile by mile, stride by stride
An invading force of wire and steel
Marching through the countryside
Brutal structures with no appeal
Mile by mile, stride by stride
An invading force of wire and steel
Wire and steel

The girl with the deep blue eyes
Have you seen the girl with the deep blue eyes
Looks from her window, looks from her window
Sees your soul and sees your lies
Looks from her window, looks from her window
Can't tell from her face if she's happy or sad
Have't worked out if she's good or bad
She fills up my dreams with her deep blue stare
She's always around but she's never there
I'd give all that I have just to see her smile
As she looks from her window, looks from her window
With her deep blue stare that can see for miles
Looks from her window, looks from her window
Her whole life is a mystery
I wish she would share it with me
She fills up my dreams with her deep blue stare
I look in her eyes see a universe there
girl with the deep blue eyes
girl with the deep blue eyes
girl with the deep blue eyes
girl with the deep blue eyes
She sits there all day just looking around
And she looks so fine
She's just the girl with the deep blue eyes
I want to make her mine
Have you seen the girl with the deep blue eyes
Looks from her window, looks from her window
Sees your soul and she sees your lies
Looks from her window, looks from her window
Her whole life is a mystery
I wish she would share it with me
She fills up my dreams with her deep blue stare
I look in her eyes see a universe there
girl with the deep blue eyes
girl with the deep blue eyes
girl with the deep blue eyes
girl with the deep blue eyes

Looking at the rain

Looking at the rain
Stare out of the window looking at the rain
Eyes shine like diamonds and cant conceal the pain
Time to go walking a creature of the night
Time to go stalking, a time to take another life
Moves so fast no shadow cast
Reflections none, heartbeat gone
Vision clear a cause for fear
Eternal youth but here's the truth
So much was promised when she took my life
Together for ever with my imortal wife
And now we sleep together in a grave so cold
Taking no pleasure in watching all our friends grow old
It's in my head when you're all dead
I'll need new friends it never ends
I wanted more but deasth's a bore
I get no sleep and so I'll keep
Looking at the rain

Imaginary friend
03:04

My imaginary friend
When we were young we played out in the sun
You couldn't part the two of us although we looked like one
You'd always sit beside me when we came in for tea
You'd never eat your sandwiches you gave them all to me
Though no one ekse can see you you're always by my side
You're my imaginary friend
I know that you were with me though people said I lied
About my imaginary friend
When we were young we played out in the rain
Splashing in the puddles well all kids are the same
Our clothes all torn and dirty from climbing up the tree
But though we were together they're only blaming me
As we grew older we also grew apart
I made some other friends though it was very hard
I couldn't talk to you then althouygh it made you sad
They would have called me crazy they would have called me mad
And now I'm getting older still I'm all alone again
I want you back beside me my very special friend
It seems I'm talking to myself but I know that you're there
The people call me crazy but I don't care

Murder most foul
03:43
|
|||
Sun shining down on the grounds by the boating lake
Tea on the lawn quite well worn by the gardeners rake
All is bright and all is cleans but hidden just behind the scene
You’ll find a place where a case gives your face a look of fear
Stuck in a rut ‘til a knife in the gut makes it quite clear it’s murder
Life is so great village fete on the bowling green
Off to the pub for some grub to complete the scene
Please enjoy your ploughman’s lunch it won’t be long I’ve got a hunch
Some random bloke starts to choke on his coke with the arsenic in
Once not alive the detective arrives and the case begins it’s murder
Outline in chalk spoils the walk but the talks of the scandal here
Though she’s quite new there’s a few with a view that she’ll disappear
Within the houses of the rich there’s much to make the curtains twitch
Man dressed in whites has a fight puts out lights with a cricket bat
Everyone lies but they’ve got alibis though it’s obvious that
One of the cast is too fast and won’t last past the second act
And by part three we can see mystery has turned to fact
But the twist in the plot means the man we forgot fired the shot for murder.

Upside down
Since I met you baby I'm up and down
All the night and day I'm just running round
Working up a sweat till I think I'll drown
You're turning me upside down
One minute you're off and the next you're on
One minute you're there and the next you're gone
Wanna wear a smile but I've got a frown
Cos you're turning me upside down
You're turning me upside down
You're turning me upside down
You make me laugh, you make me cry
I wanna live, I wanna die
We're supposed to meet but you can't be found
You just leave me hanging around
You're turning me upside down
You're turning me upside down
Don't think I can take any more of this
Hanging round hoping for a little kiss
Hear that you've been running all over town
You're turning me upside down
Wanna love you baby but you make it tough
Can't go on like this I've had enough
Wanna be together and settle down but
You're turning me upside down
You're turning me upside down
You're turning me upside down
You make me laugh, you make me cry
I wanna live, I wanna die
We're supposed to meet but you can't be found
You just leave me hanging around
You're turning me upside down
You're turning me upside down....
Since I met you baby I'm up and down
All the night and day I'm just running round
Working up a sweat till I think I'll drown
You're turning me upside down
You're turning me upside down
You're turning me upside down
You're turning me upside down
You just keep me haanging around

Keep calm
03:03
|

Every little thing
Every little stress
Don't let it make
Your life a mess
Go and take a walk
Make it nice and slow
Look all around
Stop and say hello
Relax don't worry
There's no hurry
Keep calm, stay cool
Let your head rule
Knocking back the beer
Going out at night
Crawling round the bars
Don't get in a fight
Put away your fists
Put away the knife
Try and step away
Time to save your life
Relax don't worry
There's no hurry
Keep calm, stay cool
Let your head rule
Middle 8
Be good, be kind
Don't let your anger rule your mind
Think long, think hard
Don't want an early visit to the graveyard
Guitar
In a heatwave
Don't get too hot
If you wear a tie
Loosen the knot
Open up the valve
Let out all the steam
Sit out in the shade
And have an ice-cream
Relax don't worry
There's no hurry
Keep calm, stay cool
Let your head rule
Relax don't worry
There's no hurry
Keep calm, stay cool
Let your head rule

One two three
Once I was walking out by the running river
I met a man sitting under a tree
I sat down beside him and shared all my food and water
These are the words he said to me
Thanks for your kindness
It's much appreciated
Here in return is a gift from me
Follow the path till you come to the little cottage
Knock on the door one two three
I followed the path just as he indicated
Came round the bend and in front of me
Was a door made of oak in the front of a little cottage
I knocked on that door one two three
I heard keys and latches turning and sliding open
I wasn't quite sure who I would see
As the door opened I heard footsteps run behind me
A bang on my head and stars I see
|I woke with a start in a room full of total darkness
Feet bound and hands tied behind me
But whoever it was who had hit me and put me in here
Could not tie knots so I broke free
So if you go walking out by the running river
And see a man sitting under a tree
Just walk away and if you find a little cottage
Don't go knocking one two three
One two three

The pain (never fades)

The pain never fades
Verse 1
Do you remember me
Do you remember me
Do you remember me
I remember you
Chorus
The pain….
What you did, what you said, I remember clearly
Do you know, do you care, how your words hurt me
…never fades
Verse 2
What you told me
That winter’s day
Your lips formed words
I knew what they’d say
Chorus
The pain….
What you did, what you said, I remember clearly
Do you know, do you care, how your words hurt me
Middle 8
…never fades
…never fades
…It never fades
…It never fades
Guitar solo over chorus
Verse 3
Our journey together
Was nearing the end
But only one heart broken
Never to mend
Modified double chorus
The pain….
It could have worked out for us, but you didn’t try
You wouldn’t or couldn’t even look me in the eye
What you did, what you said, I remember clearly
Do you know, do you care, how your words hurt me
…never fades

A Soupcon of Nothing
I woke up in the morning I had a bad feeling
That nothing was going right
I spent the whole day just a wheeling and a dealing
But money it was still tight
Chorus
My life had become a terrible fight
I'll tell you man I had to do something
To find the recipe that's right
A whole lot of love and a soupcon of nothing
By the end of the day I've got to go drinking
Cos you can't have work without play
Saw you across the room and it's got me thinking
That something's going to go my way
Chorus
I saw the future in your smile
I'll tell you baby you've really got something
I came across and we talked for awhile
About love and a soupcon of nothing
By the end of the night we'd made a connection
Even a blind man could see
The look in your eyes full of love and affection
I knew you were the one for me
Chorus
I see the future's looking bright
I'll tell you baby you've really got something
We've got the recipe that's right
A whole lot of love and a soupcon of nothing

Conspiracy theory

Conspiracy theory
They say it's all just in your head
Lights over area 51
But someone shot the president dead
A grassy knoll with a smoking gun
People loved by me and you
Celebrities spouting crazy views
You don't believe it but it might be true
Russians spreading their fake news
Won't you listen to my conspiracy
My conspiracy theory
It's all around you if you look
Easy to see but hard to prove
Cameras hidden in every nook
The government watching your every move
It's on the web so it must be true
The CIA starting a civil war
I've seen what some people can do
I don't know what to believe any more
Course we all know they put LSD in the water supply
I saw it with my own eyes there was Nessie large as life
Ah you know there's a big bunker under the Rocky Mountains
Most people think Doctor Who is fiction but actually it's a documentary
The Chinese govenment transmit the Covid virus using 5G
Did they send a man to the moon
Can noone sing without autotune
Do the illuminati rule the world
Is the answer the DaVinci code
They say it's all just in your head......Won't you listen to my conspiricy theory
Lights over area 51
But someone shot the president dead
A grassy knoll with a smoking gun
People loved by me and you......Won't you listen to my conspiricy theory
Celebrities spouting crazy views
You don't believe it but it might be true
Russians spreading their fake news
It's all around you if you look......Won't you listen to my conspiricy theory
Easy to see but hard to prove
Cameras hidden in every nook
The government watching your every move
It's on the web so it must be true......Won't you listen to my conspiricy theory
The CIA starting a civil war
I've seen what some people can do
I don't know what to believe no more

King and warrior
What do you look for standing on the cliffs so stilly
Who do you wait for who do you love
Wait for a husband a king and a warrior
Wait for a lover long gone from your bed
Can't you hear the sound of battle
Borne upon the wind so softly
Can't you hear the warriors
Mourning for the dead
Wait for a husband a king and a warrior
Wait for a lover long gone from your bed
Standing on the cliffs so stilly can't you see the sails a billow
Is he there the one you wait for is he there the one you love
Wait for a husband a king and a warrior
Wait for a lover long gone from your bed
There he lies within the longboat warriors surround his head
Pale faced husband, king and warrior. Pale faced lover dead

Pleasant blues
I get this feeling that's hard to explain
I get this feeling again and again
My knees are all a quiver I get a strange buzz in my brain
I get the strangest feeling when you are by my side
Drives me insane,
Drives me insane
Went to see the doctor but he could find no ill
I went to to see the doctor but he prescribed no pill
I went to see the teacher to see if I could learn
To free my will
To free my will
He recommended reading of poetry and prose but I'm ill still
Yeah I'm ill still
If I can't find the answer I'm not sure I'll survive
The effect you have on my is messing up my life
My friends have tried to help me but say it's only right
If I can't find the answer I best make you my wife
Been to see the pracher prayed to the sky above
But I don't think praying is helping me enough
I even tried a drinkin but drinkin doesn't seem to cure this stuff
There's only one conclusion it's obvious to me
That I'm in love
That I'm in love
That I'm in love

One planet
When I was young I used to dream about a world
Where everybody lived in harmony
And now I've grown I still dream about that world
Even though it seems so far away
Where did we go wrong
Why does it take so long
Look around the world and see the people standing
Two arms and legs and faces just like yours
Surely you can see
They're all like you and me
And yet you still destroy them with your wars
Time to make a stand
Be proud and raise your hands
Change their minds somehow
We've got to do it now
To save the world
It's not too late it can be done
A better world for everyone
Our energy with waves and sun
It's surely worth a try
Go out and sow the seed
To bring an end to greed
Give us the world we need
This planet's all we've got to live on
Make politicians see
That only equality
Gives us the world we need
This planet's our we've got to save it
It's not too late it can be done
A better world for everyone
Our energy with waves and sun
It's surely worth a try
Where did we go wrong
Why does it take so long
When I was young I used to dream about a world
Where everybody lived in harmony
And now I've grown I still dream about that world
Even though it seems so far away
Time to make a stand
Be proud and raise your hands
Change their minds somehow
We've got to do it now
To save the world
It's not too late it can be done
A better world for everyone
Our energy with waves and sun
It's surely worth a try
Go out and sow the seed
To bring an end to greed
Gives us the world we need
This planet's our we've got to save it

Words
Trying to decide if this love is real
Trying to express just how I feel
Written the tune but here's the deal
I just need some words
I want to write it down so you will see
That there's real feelings between you and me
But I don't have the vocabulary
I just need some words
I want to tell you how you make my heart
Beat a little faster when the music starts
And how I feel so anxious when we're apart
I just need some words
I've tried to write it down but it seems a mess
I could have said it better I will confess
But lack of words don't mean I love you less
I just need some words
You make me happy, you make me sad
You take my breath away
You make me laugh you make me mad
I don't know what to say
If I have a problem you make it right
In my darkest hour you provide the light
I want to tell you how I want to hold you tight
I just need some words
I've written it down so you will see
Just how much you mean to me
But I'm noit sure of the vocabulary
I hope you like these words...of love

White van man
Driving along on the motorway
Open it up let's have a play
And though I'm going as fast as I can
I'm still overtaken b y the white van man
You can't go faster thean a white van man
If you get in front well he's got a plan
If you look in your mirror as he's trying to pass
You'll see his white van right up your arse
He doesn't use his signals when he's changing lane
He doesn't slow down in the pouring rain
With his bluetooth headset that he thinks is cool
He doesn't stop for red lights cos he don't follow rules
You can't go faster thean a white van man
If you get in front well he's got a plan
If you look in your mirror as he's trying to pass
You'll see his white van right up your arse
White van man, white van man
white van man, he's a white van man
He parks on double yellows with is hazzards on
Frows rubbish out the window as he moves along
Parks on the pavement so you can't get through
Loses your parcels and blames it on you
You can't go faster thean a white van man
If you get in front well he's got a plan
If you look in your mirror as he's trying to pass
You'll see his white van right up your arse
You can't go faster thean a white van man
If you get in front well he's got a plan
If you look in your mirror as he's trying to pass
You'll see his white van right up your arse
White van man

The ghost of your mind
Creeping about
Into the night
Getting a thrill
From giving you a fright
Shrouded in black
Far from the light
Into the night
Into the night
Creeping around
Your thoughts at night
Getting delight
From giving you a fright
You make a likely target
And I’m staying out of sight
Walking close behind you
And giving you a fright
Into the night
Into the night
Into the night
Into the night
Hidden deep within your psyche
Looking out from my lair
Stepping out suddenly
Touching your hair
Giving you a scare
Creeping about
Into the night
Getting a thrill
From giving you a fright
