In your hands there's a photograph You look up, she begins to laugh So cold as she walks away And you know that it's time to pay You're caught in a web you spun yourself Face to face with your failure this very day You call out her name you can't help yourself But you need love like you need a - kick in the head
You worked hard for the things you own Fancy cars and a country home Gave it all for a glittering prize To be a face people recognise On the walls of your home there are works of art But you stare at the picture - on the floor The face of a man with an aching heart It's no fun to be famous anymore
(you said ) This is a sad day And I would gladly give it all away In exchange For a floating life
Shed your tears for a shallow dream Let your cry be a primal scream A song through the mists of time A serenade to your concubine You were wrong to believe she could set you free You're trapped by the trappings - of success And you know the she'll never let you be 'til the world knows the secrets - you confessed
(you said) I see her cruel face My heart is nothing but an empty space And on this sad day I would gladly give it all away In exchange For a floating life
Neither asleep nor awake Losing control you start to shake As the day begins to break
They're gonna shoot you down in flames When that girl starts naming names There's nowhere to hide from your shame
In his widowed years of longing, in his windowed room of light He lay the oil upon the canvas, brought sweet memory to life His speckled beard a brush of colour, his spotted hands both grace and speed I was the boy who came with evening, to sweep his floors and bring his tea
To the world he was the master, his landscapes filled the gallery halls But now he painted only portraits, unframed upon his private walls Subjects sitting-walking-laughing in playful flight or soft refrain A thousand forms and colours, but every face the same
Across the page (across the ages) the moving hand of history bleeds ... for a kinder eye to see us, not as we are, but as we dream
A winter's night when I arrived there, he looked so tired and near the end And as I cleaned his bench and brushes, I wished out loud to be like him He said that art was only longing, trying to do what can't be done And though he'd signed a thousand paintings, still he'd never finished one
As I finished up my sweeping, in his sleep he spoke her name I looked again at all the portraits, each and every face the same Not as she was in pain or sorrow, but in timeless beauty seen As she served his noble dream
Across the page (across the ages) the moving hand of history bleeds ... for a kinder eye to see us, not as we are, but as we dream
I leave as I enter Another boy caught in-between Now all I can muster Are whispers to your screams Don't you remember How you eased my disgrace Don't you remember The love you saw in my face
Perfected in silence A physical presence Perfected in silence A physical presence
I sought affection But now I realize A cold rejection The movement in your eyes But I can remember When you shook against me I can remember When I saw what love could be
Perfected in silence A physical presence Perfected in silence A physical presence
Ain't what she did It's the way that she did it When I couldn't give Only she could forgive it Ain't what she did It's the way that she did it As long as I live It's for me to re-live it . . . Silence . . .
Part of the answer Is that there's really no escape Part of the answer Is that life can have such perfect shape Don't you remember All the nights you shared in my disgrace Don't you remember That the love that filled this empty space was . . .
. . . perfected in silence A physical presence Perfected in silence A physical presence
Old men were throwing dice The night you fell in love She walked into the light Like an angel from above
But this girls been a block or two Just about time for someone new What she really means by how d'ya do Is boy I'm gonna walk all over you
All she wants from you is a good time lover Pretty litle boy for a week or two Gonna break your heart and it wont recover Leaving you all bitter and blue
You gout so much to say but She just don't wanna hear Shell leave you bills to pay And you crying in your beer
Well it's no use thinking it's a honeymoon All your gonna hear from now till noon Just a broken man in a rented room Keep playing that lady's favourite tune
All she wants from you is a good time lover Gonna go right out and find some other Do the same thing that she did to you But she needs to know that you'll always love her Like a harem in a desert sea In her big black book gonna put your number Let your love sink in a sea of dreams
Theres a place that she left long ago (goodbye girl) Where a boy used her only for show (goodbye girl) Came the time for the end of her world Told her thank you but now it's goodbye, it's goodbye Goodbye girl
Well it's no use thinking it's a honeymoon All you're gonna hear from now till noon Just a broken man in a rented room Keep playing that lady's favourite tune
All she wants from you is a good time lover Pretty little boy for a week or two Gonna go right out and find some other Do the same thing that she did to you
But she needs to know that you'll always lover her Like a harem in a desert sea In her big black book gonna out your number All she wants
Its been goodbye all along - goodbye all along (repeat to fade)
Watch the paper window - see the stars News and views to show you who you are Keep the money moving change the scene Open up the market with our dreams
Almost there - you and i Catch the fall - touch the sky Love a lot - paper view Now's the time - make your move
Keep the money moving As long as we are using Almost without knowing Getting ego's burning Freightend they stop turning See the judge adjourning Play your part and don't get in their way
Black and white they say you must believe Now they found a sound that we obey If you wait to long the tide will turn Then there'll be some brand new rules to learn
Almost there - you and i Catch the fall - touch the sky Love a lot - paper view Now's the time - make your move
Read a million pages Every headline ages Nothing ever changes There's a time for laughing Time will soon be passing Make your mark before you fade away
Tell me how the years go by Its been a long long time Tell me how your plans fell through And how you changed your mind
Tell me 'bout the hearts you broke How many have you known Tell me how the years went by And left you all alone
Tell me dear I want to hear 'bout the lost and wasted years Tell me when now tell me why Tell me how the years go by
Tell me how the years go by Like borrowed dancing shoes That gather dust beneath your ned Mislaid and seldom used Like a heart that haunts a phone booth On a corner far from home Tell me how the years went by and left you All alone
Close your eyes Tell me what do you see Its an imperfect world Still we dream perfect dreams Its no big surprise when we're down on our knees Truth isn't always what we will believe.
Tell me how the years go by In seasons at your door And how the things you left me for Dont matter anymore Tell me how the more we learn The more we leave unknown Tell me how the years went by and left you All alone Alone
Memory Ancient light from a binary star Bends across a receeding tide A single point of light st this great distance
At this great distance only the eye Pressed against the telescope of dreams Sees two stars Two stars, two white hot lines on a firey white Spinning madly on lines defined By each others gravity.
And by the time we see The light of memory There is no hope Theres no hope Only memory
They danced to songs Played at the speed of light Red shifting Untouchable At this great distance two stars, two souls Become one single point of light Not hot Not cold Not you Not me Only memory
Chorus
Only memory - at this great distance (repeat to end)
I just can't believe it's true Lovers never loved as we two do Take me up one love sweet dream Rising, falling tell me call my name
Paradise is free It's concied by you love me And know I'll always be here forever Take what I can give For a love as given with All the love that we can live in together
Being here is all I feel Passion striveing never seen so real Using all to take a steer Lying still now floating of the near
Paradise is free It's concied by love love me And you know I'll always be here forever Take what I can give For a love as given with All the love that we can live in together
(interlude)
Paradise is free It's concied by love love me And you know I'll always be here forever Take what I can give For a love as given with All the love that we can live in together
No more games we've seen if true Playing all now memory used to do Sumers made us gone away 'autumn raining' love u once again
Well I ain't come here to try to save you I don't want you to rescue me But you need a friend like a godsend It's plain to see
I was watching you from my window From 'cross the street only yesterday You were pleading, he was laughing He drove away
So it seems so out of place The smile upon your face It's the pain inside Brings me to your door On the day After billy's gone
So you tell me you barely miss him That you'll be cool now you're on your own But you can't tell me why you're waiting By the phone
So many people say It's the smile gives you away It's the dreams denied Brings me to your door On the day After billy's gone
Well I'll try to keep it simple If you need somebody there I've got all the love you're searching for And time enough to spare Well you fulfilled your obligations And baby none could ask for more And you had good cause to hesitate Come on and let your spirit soar Well, I can't give if you won't take You've got to open up the secret door And as a matter of fact I'm not taking you back In time you'll know for sure
