The Circus

Call it new technology
And they use it to burn
And they show no concern
Work for their prosperity
While the big wheels turn
Now it's too late to learn

Don't upset the teacher
Though we know he lied to you
Don't upset the preacher
Gonna close his eyes for you
And it's a shame
That you're so afraid
Just a worker waiting
In the pouring rain
Putting back the pieces
Of a broken dream
Putting back the pieces
Of a broken dream

Father worked in industry
Now the work has moved on
And the factories gone
See them sell your history
Where once you were strong
And you used to belong
There was once a future
For a working man
There was once a lifetime
For a skillful hand
Yesterday

And it's a shame
That you're so afraid
Just a worker waiting
In the pouring rain
Putting back the pieces
Of a broken dream
Putting back the pieces
Of a broken dream

Don't upset the teacher
Though we know he lied to you
Don't upset the preacher
Gonna close his eyes for you

And it's a shame
That you're so afraid
Just a worker waiting
In the pouring rain
Putting back the pieces
Of a broken dream
Putting back the pieces
Of a broken dream

Tempers fray so easily
In desperate despair
Is there anyone that cares
Just another tragedy
Just a personal affair
In a room somewhere
There was once a future
For a working man
There was once a lifetime
For a skillful hand
Yesterday

And it's a shame
That you're so afraid
Just a worker waiting
In the pouring rain
Putting back the pieces
Of a broken dream
Putting back the pieces
Of a broken dream (Broken dream)
Putting back the pieces
Of a broken dream
(Of a broken)
(Of a broken dream)
(Putting back the pieces of a broken dream)

The Hardest Part

Let it fill your heart
And throw it over
Like a flower
Into the water
Let it fill your heart
Let it blow you over
When you tumble
Under the water
What's to come of my life
Dreaming days away

And that's the hardest part
Of it all for you
To live your life
With nothing at all
And that's the hardest part
Of it all for you
To live your life
With nothing at all

Let me fill your heart
Let me warm you over
Let me hear your laughter
Run through the water
Let me fill your heart
Let it blossom all over
Like a petal
Burning the water
I'll spend the rest of my life
Walking through the rain

And that's the hardest part
Of it all for you
To live your life
With nothing at all
And that's the hardest part
Of it all for you
To live your life
With nothing at all

I'll spend the rest of my life
And my waking days

And that's the hardest part
Of it all for you
To live your life
With nothing at all
And that's the hardest part
Of it all for you
To live your life
With nothing at all
And that's the hardest part
Of it all for you
To live your life
With nothing at all
And that's the hardest part
Of it all for you
To live your life
With nothing at all
And that's the hardest part
Of it all for you (for you)
To live your life
With nothing at all (Oooh woah)
And that's the hardest part
Of it all for you (for you)
To live your life
With nothing at all (Oooh woah)
And that's the hardest part
Of it all for you (for you)
To live your life
With nothing at all (Oooh woah)
And that's the hardest part
Of it all for you (for you)
To live your life
With nothing at all (Oooh woah)

Too Darn Hot

It's too darn hot
It's too darn hot
I like to sup with my baby tonight
Refill the cup with my baby tonight
I like to sup with my baby tonight
Refill the cup with my baby tonight
But I ain't up to my baby tonight
'cause it's too darn hot

It's too darn hot
It's just too darn hot
I like to coo with my baby tonight
And pitch the woo with my baby tonight
I like to coo with my baby tonight
And pitch the woo with my baby tonight
But brother you fight my baby tonight
'cause it's too darn hot

According to the Kinsey Report
Every average man you know
Much prefers his lovey dovey to court
When the temperature is low
But when the thermometer goes way up
And the weather is sizzling hot
Mr Pants for romance is not
Because it's too darn hot [Too hot]
It's too darn hot
It's too darn hot

Oh it's too darn hot
It's too darn hot
I like to coo with my baby tonight
And pitch the woo with my baby tonight
I like to coo with my baby tonight
And pitch the woo with my baby tonight
But brother you fight my baby tonight
'cause it's too darn hot

Mr Gob for his squab
A marine for his queen
A GI for his cutie-pie is not
Oh it's too darn hot
It's too darn hot
It's too darn hot
I gotta get the heat down
Gotta get the heat down

Treasure

I'm coming in
Got the woodstove on
At the end of a treasured day
Take off my hat and shoes
And I lay me down
Lives been lost and fortunes won
A test of the will to survive
See where the shadow falls
And you stake your claim

I dream of trees and roads
I roam across the hills
The sky is big of deepest blue
The clouds like smoking trains

News coming in goes nation wide
Not a grain of truth to be heard
Lie to the ancient tribe in their mother tongue
Wreaking havoc and wrecking lives
Like a ball and chain to the skull
Rise, see the eagle fly
Spirit can't be broken

I dream of trees and roads
I roam across the hills
The sky is big of deepest blue
The clouds like smoking trains


I dream of trees and roads
I roam across the hills
The sky is big of deepest blue
The clouds like smoking trains (and I dream)

I dream of trees and roads (and I dream)
I ride across the plains (and I dream)
The sky is big of deepest blue (and I dream)
The clouds like smoking trains (and I dream)

I dream of trees and roads (and I dream)
I roam across the hills

True Love Wars

See those eyes like stars will fall from the sky
Soaring through the icy wastelands of space

Tears on the window
Feeling the wind blow
Rushing right through you
Knows all that you do

All is fair in true love wars
All is fair in true love wars

(I guess I'm into feeling higher lately)
(Higher than I've ever been)
(This thing called love)

Like an angel of the wilderness descends
The rain comes down to wash the morning so fair

Cries of hysteria
Fire coming near you
Cheers to the madness
Sorrow and sadness

All is fair in true love wars
All is fair in true love wars

Give me time to think it over
Give me room and space to breathe in
Let me while away the hours
To be sure to work it out

(I guess I'm into feeling higher lately)
(I guess I'm into feeling higher lately)
(I guess I'm into feeling higher lately)
(Higher than I've ever been)
(This thing called love)

Cries of hysteria
Fire coming near you
Here's to the madness
Sorrow and sadness

Tears in the window
Feeling the wind blow
Rushing right through you
Knows all that you do

All is fair in true love wars
Knowing all is fair in true love wars
All is fair in true love wars
Knowing all is fair in true love wars

(I guess I'm into feeling higher lately)
(I guess I'm into feeling higher lately)
(I guess I'm into feeling higher lately)
(I guess I'm into feeling higher lately)
(I guess I'm into feeling higher lately)

Turns The Love To Anger

Lest we forget
The speed at which the world is turning
Careering through space and time
On her fatalistic journey

Oooh it scares me half to death
That we tear ourselves apart
A war of love or religion
Close your eyes to the screaming

Now are we pleased?
How are we free?
See how this obsession (Obsession)
Turns the love to anger

East calling west
Falling onto stony groud
We are lost in our vision
We are primitive and fearless

We send our message of confusion
Across the great divide
With our eyes full of wonder
Still the world goes spinning by (Spinning by)

Now are we pleased?
How are we free?
See how this obsession (Obsession)
Turns the love to anger

Love is where the dream should lie
It's not for us to reason why
Or to ponder over strategy

So come with us and take a ride
Somewhere in the big blue sky
Before it's too late, it's too late, it's too late, it's too late

Hope you find it baby
What you're lookin' for
Doesn't really matter
If you're rich or poor
'Cause you've had your day
Yes you've had your day

Now are we pleased?
How are we free?
See how this obsession?
Turns the love to anger

Now are we pleased?
How are we free?
See how this obsession?
Turns the love to anger

Victim Of Love

I don't wanna look
Like some kind of fool
I don't wanna break
My heart over you
I'm building a wall
Every day it's getting higher
This time I won't end up
Another victim of love

You say that I could
Show some emotion
That I've been
Keeping secrets from you
But I can see through
All your sweet talk
And all of your affection untrue
I'm gonna find you out
If I scream and I shout
You won't break down my protection

I don't wanna look
Like some kind of fool
I don't wanna break
My heart over you
I'm building a wall
Every day it's getting higher
This time I won't end up
Another victim of love

I'm gonna lock up
What I'm feeling inside
Ain't no way you can
Break down the door
'Cos this time I've learned my lesson
You can take this declaration of war
Step right back
Put on your coat and your hat
Gonna avoid all complications

I don't wanna look
Like some kind of fool
I don't wanna break
My heart over you
I'm building a wall
Everyday it's getting higher
This time I won't end up
Another victim of love

I don't wanna look
Like some kind of fool
I don't wanna break
My heart over you
I'm building a wall
Everyday it's getting higher
This time I won't end up
Another victim of love

I don't wanna look
Like some kind of fool
I don't wanna break
My heart over you
I'm building a wall
Everyday it's getting higher
This time I won't end up
Another victim of love

I don't wanna look
Like some kind of fool
I don't wanna break
My heart over you
I'm building a wall
Everyday it's getting higher
This time I won't end up
Another victim of love

Voulez-Vous

People everywhere
A sense of expectation hanging in the air
Giving out a spark

Waiting For Sex

Oooh la la la la
Oooh la la la la
Oooh la la la la
Oooh la la la la

Whatever you say has no effect
On my sense of well being
I reject the savage words
That issue forth without meaning

If you're waiting for sex then stand in a line
It's a million extra
You invade my inner space
And I tear out your guts for garters

Your eloquence is nothing more than hearsay
Your intelligence leaves much to be desired
Oooh you leave me restless
Oooh you leave me starblind

Step into my world and I will give
you a garland of roses.
We'll taste the heavy scent
And drift around for endless moments

But don't bother to come if your heart
Is so full of poison
That one drop of golden sun
Will melt you down into the west witch

Your eloquence is nothing more than hearsay
Your intelligence leaves much to be desired
Oooh you leave me restless
Oooh you leave me starblind

It's elementary my dear Watson free me
Or the Baskervilles will hunt you down tonight
You're not the world's most handsome man believe me
A thousand others like you standing by
Oooh you leave me restless
Oooh you leave me starblind

Waiting For The Day

It was only for a fight
That I asked you to come in
But you brought me tumblin' down
And the walls came caving in

Won't you help me dry my tears
Help me roll away the years
Then perhaps I will forgive you
And the hurt will disappear

But in a fit of blind arrogance
You stood up and walked away
If you'd given me half a chance
I'll be waitin' for the day

For the day that you come back to me
Come on back to me
You come back to me

So forget the long goodbye
You never really tried
Threw the keys down on the table
You've got your sense of pride

Then you had to tell the world
Your story must be heard
Slammed the door behind you
Without a single word

But in a fit of blind arrogance
You stood up and walked away

The day that you come back to me
Come on back to me
You come back to me
Come on back to me
You come back to me

No I never had a single thought in my head
No I never had a single thought

Oh for the day that you come back to me
Come on back to me
You come back to me
Come on back to me

You could be my life long friend
You could be the light of dawn
You could keep me close at hand
You could keep me safe and warm

I will be your fantasy (You come back to me)
If you come and stay with me
I will try to give you all
Waiting for the night to fall

You could be the light of day (The day that you come back to me)
You could be my life long friend
You could keep me close at hand
Waiting for the day to end

I will be your fantasy (You come back to me)
If you come and stay with me
I will try to give my all
Waiting for the night to fall

I will be your fantasy (You come back to me)
If you come and stay with me
I will try to give my all
Waiting for the night to fall
