    Behind The Lines(Banks/Collins/Rutherford)

    
    I held the book so tightly in my hands,
    I saw your picture, heard you call my name
    There was something strange, I could not look away
    I wanted to be there, I wanted to go
    
    You gave me no warning
    You gave no reason
    But I was with you
    Right by your side
    Just give me the strength, and I will help you
    And they can try their hardest, cos they don't frighten me
    
    It is written in the book
    
    It is hotter than I've known before, but I feel so cold, and I don't
    know why
    But if the fire within your heart can beat the storm
    Then I really believe, you could make it right
    
    Ooh the time has come now
    We must show our feelings
    But I'm looking right through you
    And your heart is empty
    
    Whatever happened to you it's too late to change now
    There's nowhere you can run to, no place to hide
    Ah you let me down!
    
    ...but wait a minute, I don't understand
    It's getting stronger, so grab my hand
    Don't wanna leave you, don't wanna go
    But I'm losing all control
    Can't you see me? I'm slipping away
    I can only stay if you've the will to keep me here
    
    It is written in the book
    
    Oh so many times since I've read those words
    Just waiting to see you, can you see me?
    
    

    Duchess (Banks/Collins/Rutherford)

    
    Times were good,
    She never thought about the future, she just did what she would
    Oh but she really cared
    About her music, it all seemed so important then,
    
    And she dreamed that every time that she performed
    Everyone would cry for more,
    That all she had to do was step into the light,
    And everyone would start to roar.
    
    And on the road,
    Where all but a few fall by the wayside on the grassier verge,
    She battled through
    Against the others in her world, and the sleep, and the odds.
    
    But now everytime that she performed
    Oh everybody cried for more,
    Soon all she had to do was step into the light,
    For everyone to start to roar.
    And all the people cried, you're the one we've waited for.
    
    Oh but time went by
    It wasn't so easy now, all uphill, and not feeling so strong.
    Yes times were hard,
    Too much thinking 'bout the future and what people might want.
    
    An then there was the time that she performed
    When nobody called for more
    And soon everytime she stepped into the light,
    They really let her know the score.
    But she dreamed of the times when she sang all her songs
    And everybody cried for more,
    When all she had to do was step into the light
    For everyone to start to roar.
    And all the people cried, you're the one we've waited for.
    
    

    Guide Vocal (Banks)

    
    I am the one who guided you this far,
    All you know and all you feel.
    Nobody must know my name
    For nobody would understand,
    And you kill what you fear.
    
    I call you for I must leave,
    You're on your own until the end.
    There was a choice but now it's gone,
    I said you wouldn't understand,
    Take what's yours and be damned.
    
    

    Man Of Our Times (Rutherford)

    
    I'm one of many, I speak for the rest but I don't understand
    Tonight tonight, oh tonight, tonight
    He brings another day another night, another fight
    Well there's another day done and there's another gone by
    He's a man of our times a man of our times
    Tonight tonight, oh he's burning bright
    
    He's a man of our times, he's a man of our times, ooh, ooh, ooh.
    And in the beating of your heart there is another beating heart
    
    All at once I can see what we do,
    Me into me and you into you
    Me into me and you into you
    Tonight, tonight, oh he's s burning bright
    Everyone is on their feet cos he is out, out on the street
    There's another day done and there's another gone by.
    No more me into me and you into you
    Tonight tonight, oh he's burning bright.
    
    Man of our times, he's a man of our times
    He's a man of our times, ooh, ooh, ooh.
    And in the beating of your heart, there is another beating heart
    
    He's a man of our times...
    
    

    Misunderstanding (Collins)

    
    There must be some misunderstanding
    There must be some kind of mistake
    I waited in the rain for hours
    And you were late
    
    Now it's not like me to say the right thing
    But you could've called to let me know
    I checked your number twice, don't understand it
    So I went home
    
    Well I'd been waiting for this weekend
    I thought that maybe we could see a show
    Never dreamed I'd have this feeling
    Oh but seeing you is believing
    That's why I don't know why
    You didn't show up that night
    
    There must be some misunderstanding
    There must be some kind of mistake
    I was waiting in the rain for hours
    And you were late
    
    Since then I've been running around trying to find you
    I went to the places that we always go
    I rang your home but got no answer
    Jumped in my car, I went round there
    Still don't believe it
    He was just leaving
    
    There must be some misunderstanding
    There must be some kind of mistake...
    
    

    Heathaze (Banks)

    
    No cloud, a sleepy calm,
    Sunbaked earth that's cooled by gentle breeze,
    And trees with rustling leaves,
    Only endless days without a care,
    Nothing must be done.
    
    Silent as a day can be,
    Far-off sounds of others on their chosen run
    As they do all those things they feel give life some meaning,
    Even if they're dull.
    
    It's time to stop this dreaming, must rejoin the real world
    As revealed by orange lights and a smoky atmosphere.
    
    The trees and I are shaken by the same wind but whereas
    The trees will lose their withered leaves,
    I just can't seem to let them loose.
    And they can't refresh me those hot winds of the south.
    Oh I feel like an alien, a stranger in an alien place.
    
    Now the light is fading fast,
    Chances slip away, a time will come to pass
    When there'll be none,
    Then addicted to a perfumed poison,
    Betrayed by its aftertaste,
    Oh we shall lose the wonder and find nothing in return.
    Many are the substitutes but they're powerless on their own.
    
    Beware the fisherman who's casting out his line
    Into a dried up river bed,
    But don't try to tell him 'cos he won't believe you.
    Throw some bread to the ducks instead, it's easier that way.
    I feel like an alien, a stranger in an alien place.
    
    The trees and I are shaken by the same wind but whereas
    The trees will lose their withered leaves,
    I just can't seem to let them loose.
    And they can't refresh me those hot winds of the south.
    I feel like an alien, a stranger in an alien place.
    
    

    Turn It On Again (Banks/Collins/Rutherford)

    
    All I need is a TV show, that and the radio
    Down on my luck again, down on my luck again
    I can show you I can show you some of the people in my life
    I can show you I can show you some of the people in my life
    It's driving me mad just another way of passing the day
    I, I get so lonely when she's not there
    I, I, I...
    
    You're just another face that I know from the TV show
    I have known you for so very long I feel you like a friend
    Can't you do anything for me, can I touch you for a while
    Can I meet you another day and we will fly away
    
    I can show you I can show you some of the people in my life
    I can show you I can show you some of the people in my life
    It's driving me mad it's just another way of passing the day
    I, I get so lonely when she's not there
    I, I, I...
    
    Turn it on, turn it on, turn it on again
    Turn it on, turn it on, turn it on again   I can see another face
    Turn it on, turn it on, turn it on again   I can see another face
    Turn it on, turn it on, turn it on again
    
    

    Alone Tonight (Rutherford)

    
    There's nothing here that I can understand
    And no one cares I'm a lonely man
    I touch your face and I don't know why
    I call your name but you're going by
    Now I'm alone again.
    
    I have no name for each and every day
    Until the year is done and fades away
    There's a time in between the two
    The old years gone by but it's not the new
    And I, I, I...
    
    I know that'll be all
    Alone again, alone again tonight oh I'm
    Alone again, alone again tonight oh I'm
    Alone again, and it seems to me that every time I try to change
    Say that you're say that you'll
    Help me reach the other side
    
    When the morning comes the sun is out
    And warms me up again
    What a funny world it is for me
    And all I'll never be
    
    It's not enough, it's not enough
    This feeling I'm feeling inside
    Oh I know it  I know tonight that I'll be
    
    On my own tonight, alone again tonight
    Oh I'm alone again, alone again tonight
    Oh I'm alone again, and it seems to me that everytime I try to change
    Say that you'll, say that you'll
    Help me reach the other side
    Help me please cos I know I'm gonna be
    On my own again alone again tonight...
    
    

    Cul-De-Sac (Banks)

    
    Wake up now, this is the time you've waited for.
    
    Far below, where shadows fester as they grow,
    An army thousands strong, obsessed by right and wrong,
    They sense their time is coming near.
    So they turn towards the light from their region of the night,
    Marching on and on,
    They near the air, it won't be long.
    
    You know you're on the way out,
    It's just a matter of time.
    You thought you'd rule the world forever,
    Long live the king, and don't spare the loser.
    
    After all, you're not what you thought you were at all.
    You're just a natural fact, another cul-de-sac
    On nature's hard unfeeling trail.
    Now all those dreams of old will be stories left untold,
    Cut off in your prime, extinct until the end of time.
    
    You know you're on the way out,
    It's just a matter of time.
    You thought you'd rule the world forever,
    Long live the king, but don't spare the loser now...
    
    Now the host emerges, and a shadow starts to fall.
    Not one knows what hit them, none can see at all.
    Even as the end approaches still they're not aware,
    How can you fight a foe so deadly
    When you don't even know it's there?
    And now that the job is almost done
    Maybe some escape, no, not even one.
    
    You know they're on the way out,
    It's just a matter of time.
    You thought you'd rule the world forever,
    Long live the king, and don't spare the loser.
    
    

    Please Don't Ask (Collins)

    
    Ooh please don't ask me how I feel, I feel fine
    Oh I cry a bit, I don't sleep too good, but I'm fine
    When can I see you?
    When can I touch you?
    
    Again and again I ask myself was I wrong?
    Oh but time's a healer, and heaven knows I've been strong
    Maybe we could try
    Maybe we would work this time
    
    Oh I can remember when it was easy to say I love you
    But things have changed since then, now I really can't say if I still do
    But I can try
    Cos I know the kids are well, yes you're a mother to the world
    Oh but I miss my boy
    I hope he's good as gold
    
    But enough of me, tell me how are you? You look good
    Oh you've lost some weight I can see, your hair looks nice, you look
    good
    Maybe we should try, don't say it! I know why
    
    But y'know, I can remember when it was easy to say I love you
    But things have changed since then, now I really can't say if I still do
    But I can try
    Cos I know the kids are well, yes you're a mother to the world
    But I miss my boy
    Oh I hope he's good as gold
    
    

    Duke's Travels (Banks/Collins/Rutherford)

    
    I am the one who guided you this far,
    All you know and all you feel.
    Nobody must know my name
    For nobody would understand,
    And you kill what you fear,
    And you fear what you don't understand.
    
    I call you for I must leave,
    You're on your own until the end.
    There was a choice but now it's gone,
    I said you wouldn't understand,
    Take what's yours and be damned.
