    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

    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
