The End 03:14
I’ve got a pain in my head and it won’t go away It’s gonna leave me for dead If I don’t take some time to ease the pressure on me It’s getting harder to see and I can’t run away It’s getting tougher to read Oh give me something to breathe, give me something that I can live for Give me something to see, give me something that I would die for And I want something Please give me anything I’ll take something Right now the pain is intense Is this the end? I’ve got to hide in the dark the light is killing me I’m curling up in a ball And I can feel my life is slowly slipping from me It’s getting harder to breathe the air is leaving me My head is starting to bleed Oh give me something I need, give me something that I can live for Don’t give me guarantees, give me something that I would die for And I want something Please give me anything I’ll take something Right now the pain is intense Is this the end? And I need something Please just a little bit Anything Give what you’ve got to me now ‘Cos this is the end I’ve got a pain in my head and it won’t go away It’s gonna leave me for dead If I don’t take some time to ease the pressure on me I’ve got to hide in the dark the light is killing me I’m curling up in a ball And I can feel my life is slowly slipping from me

All Lit Up 03:33
Well I don’t really know where I am And there’s no one around I can ask Who can tell me what’s happening And all I can think of is memories tumbling Down through my brain Was I wrong, was I right? And it feels like I’m floating Right out of my body I open my eyes And I’m floating right out Of my body and now I see people around me But no one can hear me I don’t know what’s happening And it’s all lit up, bright like the sunshine Strange like a lifeline And I’m free at last Everything’s all white, white like the angels Singing on top of the mountain I’m free at last Everything’s fading, my world’s getting dark But I’m strangely relaxed A familiar sense Of deja-vu, is that really you? A million voices Are singing and shouting And someone inside me keeps asking me questions Its me that they’re judging Its me that’s the judge And its suddenly dawning on me that I’m dead And there’s no point in fighting I know just what’s happening And it’s all lit up, bright like the sunshine Strange like a lifeline And I’m free at last Everything’s all white, white like the angels Singing on top of the mountain I’m free at last And it’s all lit up bright like the sunshine And white like an atom bomb Burning its way through the night time I’m alive at last

“Hear my story” So the old man told me Well I thought he was delirious And there he stands On a rock of ages Like the world he made his And we listened to him when he laughed And sang to us… “Oh I, I can do anything I’m giving it all away I’m talking to you I, I could know everything You can do anything I’m looking at you” And we saw the splendour And we dreamed forever In a trance without a night or day And there he danced With immortal glory As we heard his story Transfixed by love he gave to us As he was singing… “Oh I, I can do anything I’m giving it all away I’m talking to you I, I could know everything You can do anything I’m looking at you” And then he left amidst a cloud of stardust Everything went dark around us All the words he gave us left us Slipped away, and we’re left singing La la la la la…

Take Me Home 03:29
Yes I’d like to believe you But it makes no sense to me There’s a world that you live in It was slowly killing me So I looked for a way out On a train that was my own And I’ve got to believe now That it’s gonna take me home Oh take me home I can sense a commotion And the dogs have let me know Face down by the roadside There’s a beat-up twisted soul Don’t you know that I’ve got better things To do with my time Than scrape junkies off the pavement I’m just not that way inclined Oh take me home… Well I know that you’re gifted In the art of falling apart I can tell that you’re feeling That you may have been miscast In a life that no one warned you You’d be tied right to the ground Grab hold of my hand lets leave Before we all fall down Oh take me home…

Universality 05:11
So much distraction but I’ve got to be strong There’s satisfaction if you wait it’ll come along There’s a soul screaming and I don’t want to know There’s someone dreaming do you mind if I come along? I won’t make a sound Pretend that I’m not around There’s a storm coming now I’m getting closer with the tides of the sea Might not be long before we unveil the mystery The universality There’s so much to see A magical destiny It’s growing clearer as the Earth spins around The same old souls are trying to bring it all down Silent but breathing only fragments to see Glorification of the eternal heresy Isis in her full glory The knowledge to see The universality…

The stars have all faded But the night isn’t dark The smiles are all painted This world is a mask I see the town sparkle I see the cars shine The billboards are all taken The last train won’t arrive Where’s the real beauty? What happened to the heart? And where is the magic? Where are the gods? And if that’s where you’re going You can leave us behind And if that’s where you’re going You can leave us behind

When The Sea 05:04
The water’s rising, time for us to move to higher ground I hear the music, as the walls of ice come crashing down Maybe a pole-shift, maybe it’s something underground Maybe the planets, maybe it’s something more profound I see the ocean rising over me I hear the Earth cry out I’ll be with you at the end of days As the waves carry us away As the sea washes us away Don’t start unpacking, the meltdown hasn’t finished yet Just a feeling, the best is yet to come – the clock’s been set Maybe a comet, maybe we made our own end They never learn, Atlantis all over again I see the ocean rising over me I hear the Earth cry out I’ll be with you at the end of days As the waves carry us away As the sea washes us away The water’s rising, time for us to move to higher ground Hear the big music, as the walls of ice come crashing down I see the ocean rising over me I hear the Earth cry out I’ll be with you at the end of days As the waves carry us away As the sea washes us away When the dirt gets washed away

I know, it ain’t easy There’s a long way left to go You said, hold me close then And we’ll take the same road Singing la la… We know, that you loved us But your time had come to go We fell, down with sadness As your soul it left the world Singing la la… You called, from the hedgerow Hurt and lost and left alone Took us, for your family When she carried you into home She was singing la la… I know, I can’t see you But I know you’re out there too There’ll be, someone smiling Someone looking after you They’ll be singing la la…

Walked my way across Salisbury Plain My eyes left stinging in the winter rain Up on the hills, there's Old Sarum My Heart starts beating to a different drum I feel the land flowing through my veins It's a symphony keeping me from pain There's a part of my soul I left that day Singing over the hills and far away I take a rest where the rivers meet Have a couple of smokes while I rest my feet Then a short walk up Devizes Road I see an old friend and lighten the load I feel the land flowing through my veins It's a symphony keeping me from pain There's a part of my soul I left that day Singing over the hills and far away... MAde my way through Castle Street The towering spire watching over me Where the arrow fell it was destiny My spirit soars and my heart is free I feel the land flowing through my veins It's a symphony keeping me from pain There's a part of my soul I left that day Singing over the hills and far away...

Searching 04:24
I’ve been looking for something Searching high and searching low I’ve been trying to find something Searching high and low I’ve been looking for something Searching high and searching low I’ve been trying to find something Searching high, searching low And all of the time it was there Living inside you and me Somewhere they knew you could see Right where you thought it should be…
