Start The Simulator: Start the simulator Controllers, listen up What’s your status, Guidance? Let’s take it from the top Coming up on docking The beginnings of a tear Clearing the tower We take to the air
Soft Rains of April: The soft rains of April are over The soft rains of April are over, over
Anybody home now I am on the phone now, please... The soft rains of April are over The ferry across the water to Dover, over
Anybody home now I am on the phone, oh I'd like to go back Is it raining back home I'm so alone
Just got up today And my thoughts are miles away With you
Velvet: Her skin is like velvet Her face cut from stone Her eyes when she's smiling Will never reach home But hear how she sings But hear how she sings But hear how she sings...
To Let You Win:
You know I always had the strength to fight But I got tired of the wars at night Thinking they would end if I gave in But I wasn't strong enough
..To let you win ..To let you win ..Let you win
It used to scare me to wake up wondering If I'd forgotten what I was fighting for You know that you said that you were weak and I was strong Well, I wasn't strong enough
..To let you win
White Canvas: Stories are painted in the lines on your face Misunderstandings and little mistakes A chance to start over Is all that it takes - you know if you do; Your life is a canvas, the colours are you
Follow me out, follow me round Let's make the road up as we go along Just as we planned You want to believe it, you know that it's true; Your life is a canvas, the colours are you
Keeper Of The Flame: Give it up for rock'n roll Give it up for rock Give it up for how it made you feel
Give it up for vinyl days Kicking back from school Turning out to make it real sweet Give it up for rock'nroll Give it up for bob Give it up for how it made you see
Give it up for silvertone Give it up for golden Adolescent daydreams
Incidental incidents Instrumental instruments A plan evolves too grand to entertain
Monumental monuments Sentimental sentiments You could've been the keeper of the flame
I Wish I Cared: To hold me closer or set me free To trust completely or let it be You don't know my destiny You can't see what I can see
Hey - I wish I cared Hey - I wish I cared Once again, on the station See your face in a crowd Comes again the sensation You can't hear yourself think With their voices inside your head Hey... Hey - I wish I cared Hey - I wish I cared
Shadowside: The shadowside You say I have Is making everything Go bad
You say I don't Care enough For all the things that I have got
But I do And I will I don't want to let myself descend Into the shadowside again If you ever let me go again, In the shadowside I'll end
Mary Ellen makes the moment count: Mary cries out: "for the love of God" As she's walking out of the laundromat Down the street and it's the short way home Feeling special cause she's so alone
But we know: (The world's full of lonely people) And it shows (The world's full of lonely people)
She shrugs her coat off and unlocks the door Eats her dinner on the kitchen floor Writes a poem and turns the radio on Every singer sings the same old song
And it goes: (The world's full of lonely people) And it shows (The world's full of lonely people)
But when we she wanted me to go She just had to let it show To bring me down if she wanted me to leave She just wore it on her sleeve But at least, I was around
Goodbye Thompson: Goodbye, Thompson, goodbye I tape the sign to the door Here we pinned all our dreams Now the store is no more
What comes after what was That was once strangely new What awaits up ahead For me and you?
Time And Again: The sun brought me The moon caught me The wind fought me The rain got me
The road sent me The years bent me The stars overwhelmed me Time and again
But now I can't see the stars A star is a thing I can't see And now I don't feel the same To feel is a thing that can't be
Lifelines: One time to know that it's real One time to know how it feels That's all
One call - your voice on the phone One place - a moment alone That's all
What do you see? What do you know? One sign? What do I do? Just follow your lifelines through What if it hurts? What then? What do we do? What do you say? Don't throw your lifelines away Don't throw your lifelines away Don't let your lifeline go
