ISLAND
I want to be an Island
Or the Wings of a Turtle-Dove
Anything
But who and what I am
If I can't Win your love
If I can't Win your love
You've a Touch like a Velvet Glove
I want to be an Island
If I can't Have your love
I'd like to soar away from here
To Spain or greece or Madeira
But I have to earn
While I'm trying to learn
That living is costly I fear
And Id rather be an Island
Hide away Beyond my Coasts
Or maybe Shelter you from the Storms
You could hide in my Sunny Beaches
White Cliffs or Coves
Or I'd like to live on a Boat
I want to be an Island
Surrounded by Sea
Like a Gigantic-Moat
I want to be an Island
Loving you whilst I Rove
I want to be an Island
And I can't believe what I wrote
How many times can you fall in love
When everyone just loves themselves
Do you feel like Breaking
The Heart that is Aching
Like the waves on a Shore of Shells
Could the Ivory Seas or the Lonely Green Leas
Ever make you forget what you are
Could you ever hide away like an Island
Like you did when you had a Car
You can't go on Pretending Forever
You can never forget who you are
I guess everyone is already an Island
From all Contact we've all Pushed Too Far
Could you ever Meet Me on the Mainland
And let me see what you are
Could you ever Share with me your Island
'Cos I'd like to see who you are
Together we could be Two Inseparable Islands
And maybe find out who we are
I'd like to live with you on My Island
'Cos an Island wouldn't be Too Far
No - An Island wouldn't be Too Far
I want to be an Island
Or the Wings of a Turtle-Dove
Anything
But who and what I am
If I can't Win your love
If I can't Win your love
If.. I... Can't.... Have.....
Your...... Love.......
======================
MAELSTROM
I guess it's time to Wake Up
Time to put on my Make-Up
Now it's Gaslight
Stranger People
Stranger Lands
Take the Tape-Up
Storm's a-brewing
And it threatens Livelihoods
From Maine to Frankfurt
Blasting Winds a-Sighing
- Red Alert
There's a Maelstrom Curving thru the Air
It comes on like a Hurricane
And Threatens all our Lives
I Told You - Pray to Peace and Good Things
Pretend you're Decent Earthlings
And you may yet gain Something Now
There's a Blue Orb Hovering high
There's Commotion Happening in the Sky
Now..................
The Mantels Fading
Ghosts are Greying
Earthlings Start Queuing
In the Roaring Rains -
I think I need a Shake-Up
While I'm Reasoning Just Why
Boats and Bridges Swaying
- Velvet Coasts
I had to Leave whilst the
Lights were Flickering
I sought the Cupboard where
I could Hide from Snickering
But just then a Rocket-Flame
Sprang into my Eyes
I stumbled on for hours in
The Blackness of Pitch
I stumbled on until I fell
Into the Dark Ditch
I cried for Reason -
But there was no Reason
I kept Repeating Why
Why - Why - Why
Why - Why - Why
I want to Die - I want to Die
Why can't I Die - Why can't I Die
I want to Die - I only want to Die
======================
HER LAMP OF FROST
A frost alights on Picnic-Nights
And freezes all the Ground
I see you in your Lebroi-Car
And Mercy - Underground
A frost alights on Picnic-Nights
And freezes all you Own
I see you Savage in the Sea
And feel my Mind has grown
I'll see you in the Morning
When a Yellow Sun is Born
I'll see you in the Afternoon
We'll frolic in the Corn
I'll see you in the Evening
When Her Lamp of Frost Glows Warm
Her Lamp of Frost
Her Lamp of Frost
Her Lamp of Frost.....
Forlorn...............!!
A frost alights on Picnic-Nights
And freezes all the Ground
I see you in your Lebroi-Car
And Mercy - Underground
A frost alights on Picnic-Nights
And freezes all you Own
I see you Savage in the Sea
And feel my Mind has grown
A frost alights on Picnic-Nights
And freezes all the Ground
I see you in your Lebroi-Car
And Mercy - Underground
======================
CREATURES IN THE FOG
Little Creatures in the Fog
Fumbling Thru the fog
Old Charms for the Life we Lead
Don't think you could ever Play God!
Small Secrets - Open Nets
All Scouring Underneath
All the Autumns' Charms are Mixed
In the Crackling of Dry leaves
Old People - Crying Again
Looking at the Mexican Trains
Leafing Sundry Thru your Hearth
'Til the Fire all Played Out in the Rain
Or did you Broach the Merelight's Encroach
You should have Caught the Coach
Don't Play with your Roach
Little Creatures - Little Dogs
The Autumns' Charms are Mixed
In the Crackling of Dry leaves
The Merelight's Encroach is Fixed
======================
PICTURES OF RIVERS
An Arc of Direction
A Series of Wonders
A Flowing Torrent of water
In this Light Going Under
A Finger Beckons
You Tried but you couldn't Cry
Listening to the Clap of Thunder
Hissing Quietly By
Sparkling in the Coming Starlight
Blue-Black - Frothing and Bubbling
Hissing Quietly By
The Sound of a River
Gently thru a Clear Pane Glistening
Hissing Quietly By
See the Snow Melt
Pictures of Rivers
Flowing By
Pictures of Rivers
Multi-Coloured Flame Shivers
See the Snow Melt
Pictures of Rivers
Pictures of Rivers
Flowing By
A Finger Beckons
Cannot Cry
Hissing Quietly By
======================
THE CRUEL SEA (Ever Cold)
Cascading away
In the Heat of the Day
The Last Flame of Day
Leapt away - Leapt away
The Last Flame of Day
Leapt away
The Cruel Sea
In Cold Reprise
The Shadows Crept In
The Air Grew Cold
The Dark Shadows Stalk
Forever Gold
Throwing Shadows upon your Company
Makes you look Real Old
Hold your Awe and your Tongue
For you're really Quite Young
In the world of Men
Ever Cold - Ever Cold
In the world of Men - Ever Cold
Awesome is the Sea in a Rage
In the world of Men - Ever Cold
Cascading away
In the Heat of the Day
The Last Flame of Day
Leapt away - Leapt away
The Last Flame of Day
Leapt away
======================
LEVAR
As I was walking down the Street
Thru the Walls of Old Bombay
I heard the Crashing of the Waves
On the Beach near the Old Cafe
I wandered Lonely as a Toad
Thru the Avenues of Ancient Temples
With Pillars Crashing All Around Me
The Stoney Ground seemed to Splinter
I felt that I was Floating in the Air
And Life just felt so Simple
They left me there in the Old Bazaar
Like everyone I ever knew
The Girl that asked to Join my Group
Of One as I Sang and Flew
Just then as I approached the Entrance
At the Exit there I knew
As I walked thru the Old Bazaar
With the Remnants of the Crew
Looking thru an Ancient Doorway
'Cross the Slabs of an Ancient Floorway
A Lonely Figure appeared to Me
In the Streets of the Old Bazaar
Whilst I was Floating thru the Skies
I saw him there with his Face of Scars
Levar - Levar - Levar - ar - ar - ar - ar
Levar - Levar - Levar - ar - ar - ar - ar - Levar...!!!

Levar - Levar - Levar - ar - ar - ar - ar - Levar...!!!
As I was Driving in my Car
Thru the Streets of Ancient Relics
I espied the Old Bazaar
Over the Cobblestones of Ancient Felix
With the Phoenix...
With the Phoenix...
The Phoenix...
Phoenix......
It all seemed so quite Bizarre
As I was Driving in my Car
Waltzing thru the Old Bazaar
I came Face to Face with Levar
Levar - Levar - Levar - ar - ar - ar - ar
Levar - Levar - Levar - ar - ar - ar - ar - Levar...!!!
Levar - Levar - Levar - ar - ar - ar - ar

======================
FEELING MY AGE
It's those silly Little things
That Throw me in a Rage
Don't Say I'm Going Away Again
Must be Feeling My Age
Another Then Another Then
Another Comes Along
Writing Keeps your Mind Awake
Just Write Another Song
It's those silly Little things
That Throw me in a Rage
Don't Say I'm Going Away Again
Must be Feeling My Age
Could this be the Right One
They all Turn Out So Wrong
Writing Keeps your Art at Stake
Just Sing Another Song
It's those silly Little things
That Throw me in a Rage
Don't Say I'm Going Away Again
Must be Feeling My Age
Guess there's a Time for Crying
Even when you're Past It
Can't Stop Crying - Can't Stop Crying Now
Is your Mind feeling Fit
Is this It - - - ? !
It's those silly Little things
That Throw me in a Rage
Don't Say I'm Going Away Again
Must be Feeling My Age
It's those silly Little things
That Throw me in a Rage
Don't Say I'm Going Away Again
Must be Feeling My Age
======================
HOTLINE INTO HYPER-SPACE
You're on a Hotline to
Whatever God you Believe In
There's a Kind of Sadness attached to
Whatever God it is you Believe In
You're on a Hotline to
Whatever God it is who'll Relieve You
There's a Kind of Moral Hypocrisy 'bout
Whatever God it is who'll Believe You
And I guess it is a sin if there's
A God who'll Let you In
When all you want to do is Maim
And Destroy in the Name of Holy Sin
And I'm totally glad
That I don't have a Hotline
To Whatever God it is you Believe In
And you are Totally Totally Bad
To believe you have a Hotline
To Whatever God it is who'll Support You
And I'll bring you to your Knees
Until you're Begging Please
'Cos all you can do is Maim and Kill
In the Name of Holy Thrill
And I will end your life
For causing all this strife
And I will swap the line
That's shaping all your life
From Whatever God it is that Seeds You
From Whatever God it is that Needs You
From Whatever God it is that Leads You
From Whatever God it is that Feeds You
From Whatever God it is that...
Breathes....Life.....into......You.....
Forward into Hyper-Space
Forward into Hyper-Space
Forward into Hyper-Space
Get away from here......
Engage - Engage - Engage - Engage
Engage - Engage - Engage - Engage
Yeah....... Ow...................

DOWN IN A CELLAR
Down In a Cellar
I Really Couldn't Tell Her
Down In a Cellar
All was Dark and grim
Magnesium Man in a
Magical Moon
Across the Oceans of the Stars
I Saw Him Swimming
- - - - - - - - -
In a Well of Tears
But I Couldn't Tell Her
Down In a Cellar
Down In a Cellar
Where All was Dark and grim
Down In A Cellar
Where the Silent Cobwebs Glide
All was Not Lost as I
Saw Them Shine
Across the Magical Rivers of Time
My Eyes were Swimming
- - - - - - - - -
With Welling Veils of Tears
In Deep Motions of Sin
I Couldn't Let Her In
- - - - - - -
Down In a Cellar
Where I Really Couldn't Tell Her
Down In a Cellar
- - - - - - -
Down In a Cellar
======================
ONLY ONE WOMAN
There's only one woman there
Who I am gonna see
There's only one woman there
And she belongs to me
What if she is not there now
What you gonna do
There's only one woman there
The air is Turning Blue
There's only one woman there
And she belongs to me
There's only one woman there
Living by The Sea
Well there's Apples in the Orchard now
That we are gonna eat
There's only one woman there
And she's sure Hard to Beat
======================

======================
MEMORIES AND MELODIES
The Judges Stalled
The Gods of Love were Called
To all the Peoples of all Worlds
With Open Eyes we Called:
Memories and Melodies
Drifting thru the Air
Memories and Melodies
Reminds me of what was There
Memories and Melodies
We Lovers Stand and Stare
Memories and Melodies
Oh were we Ever There
They'd like to send them to Mars
Flitting twixt the Scattered Evening
Lost Amongst the Stars
A Lump of Granite
And still they don't Believe In:
Behold her Inner Life
To be a Legend
Flying thru the Clouds
Just to End It On the Mend
Tell Me Were We Ever There
======================
ALWAYS THE STARS
Nothing to Do
Nothing to Say
There are Always the Stars
So they Say
So they Say
Nothing to Do
Too much to do
Lots of Time
Not enough Time
Love it - Hate it
What to do - What to do
Everything changing
Nothing changing
Couldn't Care
Care a Lot
Won't Be - Will Be
Always the Same
Nothing the Same
What have you got
What have you got
Must Be - Couldn't Be
Will you ever See Me
Guess you'll never See Me
Living for Free
Cost Too Much
Take your Soul
New Stuff - Old Stuff
A.. different... bore.....
Be There - Don't Turn Up
Try it - Leave it Alone
Don't believe in Everything
Don't believe in Nothing
What is Left
What was there Anyway
Nothing I Guess...
Let's try it Another Way
Keep to the Old Routine
Don't want to be a Robot
Want to be a Machine
Want to be a Human Being
Although that's not so Clean
Animals are Dumb Creatures
Africans Primeval
That's not True
And who are you to Say So
Nothing Exists
Everything There
Can't Think Anymore
Thinking All The Time
He's the Best
Like All the Rest
We're All the Same
We're All the Same
Some are Smarter
Super Starter
Luck was on his Side
Windows Open
Windows Shut
Door won't Lock
You're Stuck Inside
No you're Not
Yes you Are
There won't be Many Cars
There are Always the Stars
The Stars won't Eat Tonight
Everybody Dies
There are Always the Stars
Think of some more Lies
Everybody Laughs
Everybody Cries
There are Always the Stars
Hovering Out of Sight
You never Reach Out After Mars
There will Always Be the Stars
There are Always the Stars
Always the Stars
Always the Stars
