Where The Sour Turns To Sweet (Banks/Gabriel) 



  

We're waiting for you

Come and join us now

We need you with us

Come and join us now



Look inside your mind

See the darkness is creeping out

I can see in the softness there

Where the sunshine is gliding in

Fill your mind with love

Find the world of future glory



You can meet yourself

Where the sour turns to sweet

Leave your ugly selfish shell

To melt in the glowing flames

Can you sense the change?

See your eyes, now listen



We're waiting for you

Come and join us now

We want you with us

Come and join us now



Paint your face all white

To show the peace inside

Drift away while the saffron burns

To the land where the rainbow ends

Can you sense the change?

See your eyes in focus



We're waiting for you

Come and join us now

We need you with us

Come and join us now



We're waiting for you

Come and join us now

We need you with us

Come and join us now



We want you with us

Come and join us now

We need you with us

Come and join us now





In The Beginning (Phillips/Gabriel) 





Ocean of motion

Squirming around and up and down

Pushing together

Scattering mountains all around you



That is the sound of a new born world

And the light from a curious sky

It has begun

You're in the hands of destiny



Thrashing with violence

Hurling its lava up and down

Furnace of frenzy

Burning with power uncontrolled



That is the sound of a new born world

And the light from a curious sky

It has begun

You're in the hands of destiny



Is that the chariot with stallions gold?

Is that a prince of heaven on the ground?

Is that the roar of a thundercrash?

This is my world and it's waiting to be crowned

Father, son, looks down with happiness

Life is on its way



Ocean of motion

Squirming around and up and down

Pushing together

Scattering mountains all around you



That is the sound of a new born world

And the light from a curious sky

It has begun

You're in the hands of destiny



Is that the chariot with stallions gold?

Is that a prince of heaven on the ground?

Is that the roar of a thundercrash?

This is my world and it's waiting to be crowned

Father, son, looks down with happiness

Life is on its way





Fireside Song (Banks/Phillips/Rutherford) 





As daybreak breaks the mist upon the earth

It came to pass that beauty settled there forever more

And as the steam clings close to things to come

It came to pass that solid rock did part for humble life



Once upon a time there was confusion

Disappointment, fear and disillusion

Now there's hope reborn with every morning

See the future clearly at its dawning

Forever drifting slowly towards a hazy emptiness

Whilst water slips into the sea

The father's sad to see it's free



As shadows creep towards their master night

It came to pass that trees defied the wind who shook their leaves

And as the peace descended all around

It came to pass that nature's creatures came to face the world



Once upon a time there was confusion

Disappointment, fear and disillusion

Now there's hope reborn with every morning

See the future clearly at its dawning

Forever drifting slowly towards a hazy emptiness

Whilst water slips into the sea

The father's sad to see it's free



Once upon a time there was confusion

Disappointment, fear and disillusion

Now there's hope reborn with every morning

See the future clearly at its dawning



Once upon a time there was confusion

Disappointment, fear and disillusion





The Serpent (Banks/Gabriel) 





Dark night, planets are set

Creator prepares for the dawn of man

You're waking up, the day of incarnation

Said you're waking up to life



Images he made to love

Images of gods in flesh

Man is wonderful, very wonderful

Look at him

Beware the future



Here is my world and it's waiting for me

Paradise before my eyes

I am alive in a new born world

This heaven will always be mine

I'm waking up, the day of man has come

I'm waking up, the day of man has come



And god created man from dust

With a soul inside his mould

And god created womankind

The vessel of satan's hold



Creator made the serpent wise

Evil in his tempting eyes

Man is wonderful, very wonderful

Look at him

Beware the future



Here is my world and it's waiting for me

Paradise before my eyes

I am alive in a new born world

This heaven will always be mine

I'm waking up, the day of man has come

I'm waking up, the day of man has come



Dark night, planets are set

Creator prepares for the dawn of man

You're waking up, the day of incarnation

Said you're waking up to life



Here I stand a child in a lonely world, oh no

Watch the serpent tempting me to evil

The guiding hand will help me on

Guiding hand will help me on

The guiding hand will help me on

Guiding hand will help me on





Am I Very Wrong? (Gabriel/Banks) 





Am I very wrong

To hide behind the glare from an open minded stare

Am I very wrong

To wander in the fear of a never ending lie



Am I very wrong

To try to close my ears to the sound they play so loud

Am I very wrong

The happiness machine is trying hard to sing my song



Today's your birthday friend, everything all right

Let us our greetings to you send

Happy friend, everything all right

We hope your life will never end



Am I very wrong

To want to steal a pin then I'll check that I have skin

Am I very wrong

To want to leave my friends and the curse of the happiness machine



Today's your birthday friend, everything all right

Let us our greetings to you send

Happy friend, everything all right

We hope your life will never end



They say, we hope your life will never end

They say never end, never end, never end, never end, never end

They say never end - no

They say never end, never end...





In The Wilderness (Phillips/Gabriel/Banks/Rutherford) 





Leaving all the world to play they disappear

And the leaves have gathered dust to run like deer

Tearing pieces from our lives to feed the dawn

Mist surrounds the seagulls christened by the storm



Music, all I hear is music - guaranteed to please

And I look for something else

Rain drops pouring down the rooftops

Flowing in the drains

As the people run their lives 

As their lives are run by time



Fighting enemies with weapons made to kill

Death is easy as a substitute for pride

Victors join together, happy in their bed

Leaving cold outside the children of the dead



Music, all I hear is music - guaranteed to please

And I look for something else

Rain drops pouring down the rooftops

Flowing in the drains

As the people run their lives 

As their lives are run by time...





The Conqueror (Banks/Gabriel) 





He climbs inside the looking glass

And points at anything he hates

He calls to you, "Hey look out son

There's a gun they're pointing at your pretty face"



And the heads they are a rolling

Cos the conqueror is on his way

And the justice day is coming

For the conqueror is on his way



Five hundred little women

Are calling at their hero's door

Yes, their hero is working overtime

He's squirming on an empty floor



And the heads they are a rolling

Cos the conqueror is on his way

And the justice day is coming

For the conqueror is on his way



He's bought the castle on the hill

He's bought it just to knock it down

The local power shout him down

They say he's just an empty-headed clown



And the heads they are a rolling

Cos the conqueror is on his way

And the justice day is coming

For the conqueror is on his way



He's busy building monuments

To hide inside his empty grave

You there, can you find some souls

He's looking for some people to save



And the heads they are a rolling

Cos the conqueror is on his way

And the justice day is coming

For the conqueror is on his way

And the words of love are killing him

The conqueror is on his way



And the words of love were lying on an empty floor

Just in the place where the conqueror lay...





In Hiding (Phillips/Gabriel) 





Pick me up, put me down

Push me in, turn me round

Switch me on, let me go

- I have a mind of my own



In hiding

Far from the city of night

And the factories of truth

I stand upon the mountain

A million miles from my home

And the faces of fear

I have freedom to think



In hiding

I may take off my clothes

That I wear on my face

I float upon a river

A million miles from the plains

That are piercing the clouds

I am lost in the beauty

In hiding



Pick me up, put me down

Push me in, turn me round

Switch me on, let me go

- I have a mind of my own



I wish you were here



In hiding

I lie silent at last

I'm free from my past

I walk among the tall trees

This is beauty I know

I'm in love with it all

I have freedom to love

In hiding



Pick me up, put me down

Push me in, turn me round

Switch me on, let me go

- I have a mind of my own



Pick me up, put me down

Push me in, turn me round

Switch me on, let me go

- I have a mind of my own





One Day (Banks/Gabriel) 





Don't get me wrong

I think I'm in love

But the feeling in the word is more

Than your crystal eyes will ever see in me

Don't get me wrong

Open your eyes

Although I cannot show my heart

I'll watch and hope while you are near to me



One day I'll capture you

And call you to my side

One day I'll take you from 

The boredom of our lives

One day we'll fly away

To the kingdom of my dreams

One day I'll find myself

And wrap it in my love for you



Birds of the sky, may I borrow your wings?

Very soon I'll ask my love 

To travel with me to the world outside

Cherry trees, may I borrow your bloom?

Very soon I'll ask my love

To come inside the nest I'll build alone



One day I'll capture you

And call you to my side

One day I'll take you from 

The boredom of our lives

One day we'll fly away

To the kingdom of my dreams

One day I'll find myself

And wrap it in my love for you



Animal friends

Help me decide

When should I ask my love to leave?

I'll beg of you that she'll say yes to me

Breathe in deep

Now is the time

She looks at me and gently smiles

As if she knew I'd ask her all the time



One day I'll capture you

And call you to my side

One day I'll take you from 

The boredom of our lives

One day we'll fly away

To the kingdom of my dreams

One day I'll find myself

And wrap it in my love for you





Window (Phillips/Rutherford) 





Slowly I stretch out my arms, freely

Shadows of night disappear

Rise from the slough of despond, find the pathway

Guiding us forward through pastures of dream day

Days to enjoy, peace I knew once before me

Dawning to dusk on the hills until morning

Come see me take my hand

Come see me in my land



Flying invisibly high, watch me

All on a beautiful sky, I'll be

Clear and serene in the love I've discovered

Long search is over, the soul is uncovered

Resting on joy that abounds without ceasing

Bidding farewell to the fears now decreasing

Come see me take my hand

Come see me in my land



High on a golden crested wave she sits

The little nymphs dance in her hair

The trees all beckon to the sky to bless their empty lives

Horizons come to sip wine there

The veiled mist reveals the wandering ship upon the reef

The albatross flies to the stern

But only Jack Frost saw the kiss you gave him in return



Crossing the mountains of truth see them

Soaring majestically high, and then

Stop at the warning light, see it flash brightly

Thunder awakes me, the crashes beside me

Shatters the scene and brings chaos to beauty

Leading us forward where destiny may be

Come see me take my hand

View from another land...





In Limbo (Genesis) 





Please take me away

Far from this place

Leaving me here

Take me away



To the furthest star in the sky

Take me away

To the deepest cave of the night

Take me away

Voices of love, here am I

In the sad sad world of fear

Take me away

From the power of my ambition

And I'll be happy



I, I've conquered time

Where will I go?

Am I still mine?

Take me away



To the furthest star in the sky

Take me away

To the deepest cave of the night

Take me away

Voices of love, here am I

In the sad sad world of fear

Take me away

From the power of my ambition

And I'll be happy



Peace - floating in limbo

Limbo - leading me nowhere

Peace - now without motion

I cry - when will I die?

God - where is my soul now?

My world, please set me free





Silent Sun (Banks/Gabriel) 





The silent sun that never shines

She is the warmth of my lonely heart

The motion of a turning wheel

Can't you stop it and look around?



Baby you feel so close

I wish you could see my love

Baby you've changed my life

I'm trying to show you...



A tiny stone that hides from me

Can't you see that I'm just outside?

A mountain stream that chills the sea

Can't you feel in your useless pride?



Baby you feel so close

I wish you could see my love

Baby you've changed my life

I'm trying to show you...



When night reveals a star-filled sky

I want to hold it in my hands

When snowflakes heal the ugly ground

Your beauty hides the joy I've found



Baby you feel so close

I wish you could see my love

Baby you've changed my life

I'm trying to show you...





A Place To Call My Own (Phillips/Gabriel) 





And I've nearly found a place to call my own



Waking gently feel her presence near

Devil shattered, warmth is everywhere

I am only a child of hers, my guardian goddess

Now, I'm reaching my journey's end inside her womb

And I think I've found a place to call my own





That's Me (Phillips/Rutherford) 





Every morning when the people are out

And I'm free move around on my own

I look into the sun and I see a reflection

Of a sad and lonely shrivelled man

That's me, that's me

And I know it's how I'm always gonna be



Nothing to do, nothing to say

Nothing to hope, and nothing to pray



I can see, I can feel

I've forgotten what I'm meant to be

Won't come back, not if I try



They told me things about me that I didn't know

But I could tell they've told me lies

And it really goes to show

That everyone was wrong

And they don't understand my ways

But it's not me that's going wrong, it's them



I can see, I can feel

I've forgotten what I'm meant to be

Won't come back, not if I try



They told me things about me that I didn't know

But I could tell they've told me lies

And it really goes to show

That everyone was wrong

And they don't understand my ways

But it's not me that's going wrong, it's them



Every morning when the people are out

And I'm free move around my own

I look into the sun and I see a reflection

Of a sad and lonely shrivelled man



That's me, that's me

And I know it's how I'm always gonna be



That's me, that's me

And I know it's how I'm always gonna be



Shrivelled old man

Who hides from a world

He's never seen the light

That can set him free

His vicious life

Is such a shame

I wanna find out who's to blame



And that's me, oh that's me, aaoh

Set me free





A Winter's Tale (Banks/Gabriel) 





The winter's bitterness is lost

It's the fireside warmth that comforts me

The peace for all my thoughts



The night brings shadows to the street

It's the time for dreams of things to come

To creep inside their lives



You're concealing every feeling

Can you find me, deep inside you

Let me touch you, let me keep you

Let me know you're there



You're concealing every feeling

Can you find me, no

Yes deep inside you're a part of me

Every day I need to know I'm there, I'm there, I'm there

[with previous verse sung behind]



The evening fantasy begins

In the sandy lanes that cross the fields

The gentle rain will fall



The morning sweeps away the night

And the dreams of you still haunt my thoughts

Bring meaning to my life



You're concealing every feeling

Can you find me, deep inside you

Let me touch you, let me keep you

Let me know you're there



You're concealing every feeling

Can you find me, no

Yes deep inside you're a part of me

Every day I need to know I'm there, I'm there, I'm there

[with previous verse sung behind]



[ad lib to fade]



Can you hold me with your small hand

Prepare much, length and beauty of our tiny lives

Future's brighter now

Our world is everything to me, to know, I'm there

Lord! You see the world is brighter than the sky

The sky is shining everywhere in our world

You know you never said in your many times, all in me instead





One-Eyed Hound (Banks/Gabriel) 





Mister you've been caught at last

Chasing dogs in the moonlight

This man committed a sin

This man he never can win

Mister you've got one more chance

If you catch the hound when the sun shines

This man committed a sin

This man he never can win



And it's all gone wrong

Night is the time for chasing the one-eyed hound

And it's all been tried before

Night is the time for chasing the one-eyed hound



Have you seen the one-eyed hound?

Tell me where he's going

This man committed a sin

This man he never can win

Every place that I have been

No-one else has seen him

This man committed a sin

This man he never can win



And it's all gone wrong

Night is the time for chasing the one-eyed hound

And it's all been tried before

Night is the time for chasing the one-eyed hound



Everybody's telling me exactly where to go

This man committed a sin

This man he never can win

People call and people talk

But they don't reach agreement

This man committed a sin

This man he never can win



And it's all gone wrong

Night is the time for chasing the one-eyed hound

And it's all been tried before

Night is the time for chasing the one-eyed hound

Night is the time for chasing the one-eyed hound





Image Blown Out (Early demo - Only on new release of FGTR) 





People moving about the town upside down, you know why

Little bits of coloured glass in the sky

Children pushing Mummy down to the park, in a pram

Look out the pavement's changing to jam



See them running

Now where are they going to

To follow them, leads you nowhere

Shout to them quickly but no one can hear you

All they can do is to stare



Your bowler hats are turning green

Your city suits are coloured cream

You, you who changed my life

You made it misery, sadness reins alone

Wonder why you do this, to me

When I've tried so hard for you



People talking to the man who's digging a hole, in his mind

He's no need to worry, he's deaf and blind

See the dustman doing his round in a Rolls made of glass

He's gained everything because he's got class



Friends are leaving me when I did everything

Just as they used to behave 

Trying to copy them, losing my real self

Floating away in a cloud



Your minds have blown you out of step

The rules you taught you never kept

You, you who changed my life

You made it misery, sadness reins alone

Wonder why you do this, to me

When I've tried so hard for you





She's So Beautiful (Early demo - Only on new release of FGTR) 





Cool as ice yet brittle as glass

A nervous wreck with a sweet facade

You're breaking up

You're breaking up now baby

You're breaking up your life

Into little pieces

Baby



Vanity arrived with fame

How she loved to see her name

She is beautiful, very beautiful

Look at her, and she's a model



Hey girl I love you but you won't listen

To what I'm trying to say

Things won't work out if you plan them now

Don't throw your love away

Give it up, baby  

Honey give it up and come back to me



You know your just an able sum  

To get more money

For them you're just a product

For me you're the one I love

Baby



Vanity arrived with fame

How she loved to see her name

She is beautiful, very beautiful

Look at her, and she's a model



Hey girl I love you but you won't listen

To what I'm trying to say

Things won't work out if you plan them now

Don't throw your love away

Give it up, baby

Honey give it up and come back to me



Cool as ice yet brittle as glass

A nervous wreck with a sweet facade

You're breaking up

You're breaking up now baby

You're breaking up your life  

Into little pieces

Baby



Don't take my love away from my arms

Oh no, I need her near me every single day

Please don't take her away

I need my love
