The Chase
Ahh... ahh... ahhhh
What is it now, there's something I see in your face
Feel
like a fox, hounds close at heels at the chase
Do I see blood in your eyes,
babe?
Is it the end of the race?
Ahh... ahh... ahhhh
Hunted me out, sapped me of strength and of will
Showered
affections, baited me, loved me until
My defences and cautions were gone,
babe
And you did it just for the thrill
Ahh... ahh... ahhhh
Tally-ho! Tally-ho!
Mellowing Grey
Mellowing grey, in misty morning's day
My thoughts turn to
you, kingfisher blue
Loveliness born, in velvet shades of dawn
Joy from
your eyes, soft summer skies
All things within the world supreme
I compare with the love
that is my dream
Mellowing grey, the veil of evening's day
The dream that is
you is midnight blue
Your lips that evade a crimson charade
I wait for the
dawn from whence you're born
All things within the world supreme
I compare with the love
that is my dream
Never Like This
Wear Wellington boots when you tread into water
But what do
you do when she's finally caught you
You can't just take off or go
underground
You just have to find yourself another way round
Been through this before, but never like this
Her mother is smiling across from the sofa
Dad's watching
the teli' but taking no notice
Instead he just plays with some bright
coloured blocks
Occasionally speaks of little girls' frocks**
Been through this before, but never like this
Beginning to wish that you'd never met
The girl with the
far-away look in her eyes
But to your surprise, she pours you some tea
How
many lumps, is it two, one or five?
You suddenly find yourself glad that you came
And your sure
that the room doesn't look quite the same
And Dad's got you into his bright
coloured blocks
Whilst mother still smiles in her little girl frock
And
the girl with the far-away look in her eyes
Has now become very important in
life
Been through this before, but never like this
Voyage
A veil unfolds across my eyes
A shadow falls on open skies
Seeds of doubt leave me without
Any idea of my whereabouts
Where do I look for proof
Who do I ask and what do say
As I sail on my voyage of truth
Curiosity quickens, questions arise
Pick out the fools,
show me the wise
Who's to know and what's to show
Is amber the step
between stop and go
Songs of seasons, sing us, sing
But is summer, winter,
autumn, spring
What is time within my mind
Is a red rose red to a man
who's blind
Where do I look for proof
Who do I ask and what do say
As I sail on my voyage of truth
Hey Mr. Policeman
Hey Mr. Policeman, one man at bail
Can I see her one time,
before I make jail
I cared for that woman, I cared for that woman
Cared
for that woman, cared for that woman
The things I don't tell
Hey there, driver, wait for me here
Don't stop the engine,
keep out of gear
Last time I see her, the last time I see her
Last time I
see her, last time I see her
In many a year
Hey there, woman, seen me last time
Don't care a nickel,
don't give a dime
I cared for you, woman, I cared for you, woman
I cared
for you, woman, cared for you, woman
You call it a crime
Winter
Winter time, it brings me down
Ice cold winds, snow on the
ground
Soon I feel the summer breezes
Watch it as it carefully seizes
Thistle down, send it 'round
Slowly upwards, slowly down
Gently moving,
never a sound
Wish that I could hibernate
Go to sleep and never wake
Until the sun comes shining once again
Winter time, it brings me down
Overcoats and scarves thrown
'round
Cold, dark nights, dense wintry gales
Frozen feet in snowy trails
Slowly homeward, trudging through
Wind and rain and hailstorms too
Where's
the sun, I wish I knew
Winter time, it brings me down
Ice cold winds, snow on the
ground
Winter time, it brings me down
Overcoats and scarves thrown 'round
Emotions
Emotions you feel around you they steal,
Saying much more
than mere words can
When choirs sing emotions they bring.
Explaining much
more than few words
Strange, when loneliness holds you,
Like a cloak that
surrounds you.
Contentment to fears, enchantment to tear.
Drops its the same, playing one game,
Stealing their way
in to take you
Stranger to see, emotions run free,
Seeing what being
they make you.
Chains, within and about you
Like a cage, bars to hold to.
Something to remind, as the years slip behind.
Dim
I can't see you but you can see me waiting along the road
Thumbing a ride to get into town, hey where'd you get the automobe
See you
around the corner wait for my flame to burn
My eyes are dim I cannot see
But I know there's a good time waiting for me.
Making my scene just groovin' around making what chicks I can
Drink what I like and I dance what I do.
I'm getting right through to the
band
See you in the corner wait for my flame to burn
My eyes are dim I
cannot see
I'd sooner feel you babe feeling me
Think I'll leap around a bit and sow my seed somewhere
Go
on round to the 46, and do the things that I dare
See you in the corner wait
for my flame to burn
My eyes are dim I cannot see
You'd better not take
that thought from me.
From Past Archives
Why can't we forgive, forget and be returned to harmony
Singing our song, duetting as one
It took time as pictures very hard to find
Melodies divine, completely in tune
Become flat so soon.
Three years
gone and still I'm holding on
Hoping that the song from past archives
Will soon be revived.
Drowned In Wine
After the turn you finally leam to play along
Your feelings
and blind so you don't really mind if it's right ?r wrong
Fall in line.
No they won't let it stand on the back of
their hand
Won't take a cave in the mine.
You see what they've done, the ends just begun to filter in
The end is in sight and the thought of a fight, now it's wiltering
Yours and mine
They won't let it stand on tne back of their
hand
Won't take a cave in the mine.
I could cry for help,
But I'd much sooner fend for myself,
Don't wanna feel that I'm drowned in wine
Hate every thought of having to
fall in line
Just want to grow, just want to grow and share what's yours and
mine
As sure as I see there looking at me with glasses on
And as
sure as I feel I know there for real and the gas is on.
Well I'm drowned in wine
Now they won't let it stand, no
no.
Don't wanna feel that I'm drowned in wine
Hate every
thought of having to fall in line
Just want to grow, just want and share
what's yours and mine
After tke turn you finally learned to play along
Your
feelings are blind to you don't really mind if it's right or wrong
I'm drowned, drowned in wine
No they won't let it stand
No they won't let it stand
I said they won't let it stand no
A Song For Me
I was waiting, I was singing
I was standing patiently
Who would wait this long for me
Who's gonna sing a song for me
I was smiling, I was walking
Open mind to open miles
Who
will crack me a crooked smile
Who'll still climb my crooked stiles
I was crying, I was stumbling
Over broken glass laid tracks
Following ancient portait maps
Who could tell me, who could tell the paths
from cracks
I was talking, I was shouting
Listen please don't turn away
Who turns deaf to what I say
Who will paint my portrait grey
Strange Band
Dog and his master, took out together
Heading due west,
away from the east
Walking the road, leading a blind man
Staff in his
hadn, and a dog that could see
Strange looking band were we
Man and his hubcaps, flashing the highway
Shielding his
eyes, from the heat of the sun
A wife, name of Maisy, who's driving him crazy
Convertable mind closed permanently
Strange looking band were we
