The rain abates
A new dawn waits
Will I be back on dryland?
Unconfined
Our restless mind
It's a jungle out there
Those barren years
And vast frontiers
We are drifting worlds apart
The apron stage
A golden cage
But beauty's only skin deep
[Pre-Chorus 1:]
It's just a world of make believe
But what a tangled web we weave
We dream on consecrated ground
(We're spellbound)
[Chorus 1:]
Framed into this world
All along the line
Take me outside space and time
Working like a charm
Burning down the harm
In a place of higher power
I hear the bell
Tolls the knell
Can we cross a boundary
Shining streams
Recurring dreams
Take me out of this world
I'm tired and drawn
Goes on and on
Inquire into mine own heart
The inner twist
Can I resist
In a lucid moment
[Pre-Chorus 2:]
I'm chasing horses in midstream
I follow my recurring dream
And leave the nadir, meet my fate
(Can you await)
[Chorus 1]
[Chorus 2:]
Ardour and despair
On a wing and prayer
A panacea in my veins
Lode star on my sky
Shine and purify
In a place of higher power
[Pre-Chorus 1]
[Chorus 1]
[Chorus 2]
No Past Land (Russian Red)
if my hands weren't there, like i saw in the stream
of the drawings been made on a full colour screen
if they weren't to be found, then what else could i be?
if your hands weren't there, like i saw in my dreams
and the poets we made, had all gone, disappeared,
the what else, then what else could i be?
if your hands & my hands strolled together around
if they were to make friends we'd be possibly up
to scape from this world, from this no past land.
if i looked in the windows while walking pass through
if i stared at the willows with my seven black truths
if my eyes were to see what belongs to your mind...
if you'd like, keep perceiving what lies on my back
and your eyes will shine through the glass of my wine
and the windows, the willows, the pillows, and your mouth.
if your hands & my hands strolled together around
if they were to make friends we'd be possibly up
to escape from this world, from this no past land..
Sacrament (Pride And Fall)
View all the colours in your hand
A distinctive red shines trough them all
These rusty nails bear signs of blood
A sinful life will clear it all
You will bear my sin as if youre proud
Youll swear my name and beg me please
A moment to live in, a sequence to heal
Youll find no redemption here
Your heart
Your soul
Your everything
You will give it to me
This sacrament is for real
It will end some day you shall be free
This torturing nightmare will end with me
Ill place my coat around your shoulder
Ill bring comfort you shall be released
You will bear my sin as if youre proud
Youll swear my name and beg me please
A moment to live in, a sequence to heal
Youll find no redemption here
Your heart
Your soul
Your everything
You will give it to me
This sacrament is for real
Circles (Tiamat)
And now that we're dead
We've learned how to live
Our failures taught us how to forgive
And now that we've rise from the ashes of me and you
All our dreams shall come true
Floating in circles
Stars shine a light our way
To meadows and fields, green as the grass
Where we lay down
Forever...
And now that we're clean
Our souls can be free
Our love is the only drug we need
And now that we're one
We don't need any God
Divinity flows in our blood
Floating in circles
Stars shine a light our way
To meadows and fields, green as the grass
Where we lay down
Forever...
Brand New Day (Scorpions)
I'm waking up
The world is turning
The sun is shining again
I'm holding on
To things I shouldn't
It's time to let them go
I've been on a losing streak
Hit so hard I couldn't speak
But when I hear Your voice it fades away
And I can hear You say
It's a brand new day
The pain goes away
And I'm headed for the door
And I'm going home
I'm going home
Your love, it burns
Away my darkness
You guide me when I'm blind
You are The Light
That shines inside me
Showing me I'm
So much more
When I've been on a losing streak
Hit so hard I couldn't speak
But when I hear Your voice it fades away
And I can hear You say
It's a brand new day
The pain goes away
And I'm headed for the door
And I'm going home
I'm going home
Take me into Your arms
My home lies within Your heart
And I can hear You say
It's a brand new day
And I can hear You say
It's a brand new day
The pain goes away
And I'm headed for the door
And I can hear You say
It's a brand new day
The pain goes away
And I'm headed for the door
And I'm going home
I'm going home
I'm going home
I'm going home
Coin Operated Goi Voltaire (Voltaire)
Coin operated goi,
Scary but it's true,
He is not a Jew.
He won't dance the horah,
Won't light the menorah,
And it's not a lie,
He ain't even circumcised.
Oi!
Coin operated goi.
I'm not so sure that he's kosher,
Deskite what is in the brochure.
Everything he eats is wrapped in ham.
Plus he tried to pork me in the can.
I should go and ask my Rabbi,
If it's a sin if he and I,
Do it through a small hole in a sheet.
Just big enough to slip my kosher meat.
Groin masticated joy, oh boy!
Coin operated goi,
Can't hang with the Moyles,
He and got the curls.
I say we convert him.
It ain't gonna hurt him.
Well, maybe downbelow,
He will have to undergo,
A groin operation ploy.
His bris we'll perform,
To make his schmuck deformed.
The Moyle gets a dollar,
If he makes him holler.
To make his schmuck more slim,
We'll chop off his foreskin!
Give it to the waiter.
He'll bless it for seder.
We'll nosh on it later.
Oh I want a,
I want a,
I want a,
I want a...
for Rosh hashanah.
A coin operated goi, oh boy!
Coin operated goi,
Scary but it's true,
He was not a Jew.
But honestly, no schitzvah,
He had a Bar Mitzvah.
Now he's kosher too.
He just like me and you,
A coin operated Jew!
Never Tear Us Apart (Live) (INXS)
Don't ask me, what you know is true
Don't have to tell you, well, I love your precious heart
I..........I was standing, you were there, two worlds collided
And they could never tear us apart
We could live for a thousand years
Well if I hurt you, I'd make wine from your tears
I told you that we could fly
Cause we all have wings but some of us don't know why
I..........I was standing, you were there, and two worlds collided
And they could never...ever...tear us apart
Oh!
I..........I was standing, and you were there, two worlds collided
And they could never tear us apart
You (don't ask me) you were standing (you know it's true)
I was there (worlds collided)
Two worlds collided (but we're shining through)
And they could never tear us apart
I (dont ask me) I was standing (you know its true)
You were there (worlds collided)
Two worlds collided (but were shining through)
And they could never...ever...tear us apart
This is What You Need. Hey! What is your plan tonight? Hello, London! (Hello.) Is that what you say? Its our old England. Looks like everybodys out there fucking now. Woo! Lets go.
Change With The Light (Ace Of Base)
Change with the light
Turn, turn, turn around
Change with the light
Change with the light
Smile on my face
Like doctor Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
I'm changing
I change with the light
Hiding away running from reality
Who am I
Am a doctor in this game
Aaah
Change with the light
Turn, turn, turn around
Be my baby
Stay for the night
Do it right
Feel my vibrations
I will change with the light
Feel my body talk
Be mine
Never Stop
Shake it right
In the night
Change with the light
Change with the light
Morning has come
As the sun catches my face
I realise I'm alone with myself
Yesterday all was dark
I was dancing on the floor
In this light
I'm completely another me
Oooh
Change with the light
Turn, turn, turn around
Be my baby
Stay for the night
Do it right
Feel my vibrations
I will change with the light
Feel my body talk
Be mine
Never Stop
Shake it right
In the night
Change with the light
Change with the light
Rock it to the beat
While you're shaking my mind
Changing my face
Cause you were mine
Excited by your beauty
Makes me totally blind
Hypnotise me
Mess up my mind
All the voices
I can't resist my night sight
All the choices
That the daylight brings
Like a diamond
Sparkling and shining
All my hours
Don't don't stop the music
Change with the light
Change with the light
Oooh
Change with the light
Turn, turn, turn around
Be my baby
Stay for the night
Do it right
Feel my vibrations
I will change with the light
Feel my body talk
Be mine
Never Stop
Shake it right
In the night
Change with the light
Change with the light
Change with the light
Change with the light
Turn, turn, turn around
Be my baby
Stay for the night
Do it right
Feel my vibrations
I will change with the light
Feel my body talk
Be mine
Never Stop
Shake it right
In the night
Change with the light
Change with the light
Change with the light
Change with the light
Turn around
Be my baby
Stay for the night
Do it right (Change with the light)
Oh, change with the light
Feel my body talk
Be mine
Never Stop
Shake it right
In the night
Change with the light
Change with the light
Turn around
Be my baby
Stay for the night
A Devil's Ransom (Bury Your Dead)
My mouth's been full with the waste we made especially for a night like this.
For Quite some time now, I've carried all this weight
Just to prove to you and the rest of these critics that I can.
When my Skin stretches to fill the great growing void I'll give it all back.
Give it all back.
I'm hardening that soft spot you've been abusing all along
I think it best that you take this now
Cause what I need is a place of my own
Another promise broken
Another word kept silent
You're saving all the bad for a rainy day
Well the sun isn't shining
When my skin stretches to fill the great growing void ill give it all back.
Downtrodden (Tank)
One day this world will realize
That redemption wont ever come
The dog day afternoons, the cry of mankind, the misery of souls, the bleeding from inside
The outcast of happiness, the feeling of suicide, the identity of why
Will turn into a sunny day
They come in the night to haunt our dreams
They are who are laying dead flowers
Right into us
Disgust we feel
Throw up we must
From this injected putrefied sanity
Forget what you see
Wicked reality
Those in the dirt
They were never meant to be
For once and all I want to grasp
the mirage behind the mask.
The path out of this maze,
the source of all our pain.
Our every thought
Our every dream
Fades away
With time
Tortured mind and tortured soul
Poisoned with fear and doubt
Carved with blood build with sweat
You shall never take them away
Are we blessed by the illusion of belief?
We the faceless downtrodden
Is this life our sneered vision
Are we subject to oblivion?
To have the things that we could never have
Dying visions of a mind insane
To have the world that we could never have
We the nameless forgotten
They never heard us out
They didnt care for us
Why should give a damn
All those empty words they say
The sun will shine again
Never look back my friend
Hope not will die inside
From those empty words they say
They never gave a damn
About the lives we have
Weve never told
Our misery was unfolded.
We are the nameless ones
Those with hollow eyes
We the subject for oblivion?
Dying from a vision insane
Crying-from the sight of hell
Laughing-from the lies they tell
Leaving-from this reign of hate
Video
Badfinger member Pete Ham sings and plays lead guitar on this song at a group rehearsal in 1973. This song was on the group's 1st Warner Brothers LP. It was written about his girlfriend at the time, Sandie Gipson.
In the book 'Without You: The Tragic Story Of Badfinger" this scene was described as such "Pete is the main focus here, and in a few short minutes you get a chance to see many of his traits: the silly side, the serious side, his soulful ability on guitar, his creative intensity, and at the end, his deeply-rooted introspection. It's a good capsule view of the man."
