The Wheel

Things could be better, Things could be much worse
I could get what I want I could get what I deserve
Well I could be a superstar –
This could be my number one
Or I could be selling matchsticks to a second city son
when THE WHEEL turns around
There’s faces at my window, voices at my door
I give them what they want
but they keep coming for more
It’s all so obvious, so plain to anyone
they don’t want meet my daddy
they just want to have some fun /meet his son
when THE WHEEL turns around
I stood before the people so perfectly alone
Just me and my guitar And this megaphone
I spoke to them with passion, with not a shred of doubt
Oh but the wind was from the North then
now it’s from the south
and THE WHEEL turns around
Don’t the wheel turn around
‘til you finally admit it
that there aint no better place in town
Well I turn on the tele, to catch up with the news
I could understand it if I wasn’t so confused.
But it doesn’t really matter, if what they say is right
Well I’ll be on the balcony
and you’ll be on your bike
when THE WHEEL turns around
Don’t the wheel turn around
‘til you finally admit it

Drive on to Moscow
Moscow be my friend
On you must go
You must go to the end
The year is 1812
My general
Can you save yourselves?
My general
Can you look me in the eye
Be prepared to stand or die?
If you want to be my general
Drive on to Moscow
Moscow be my friend
On you must go
You must go to the end
Now it’s 1942
My general
Can I rely on you?
My general
Can you look me in the eye
Be prepared to stand or die?
If you want to be my general
Drive on to Moscow
Moscow be my friend
On you must go
You must go to the end

Tanya, we are a dark people
Tanya, we are a dark people
Tanya,
The world is very small
You’ll never work it all out
Your dreams are in the sky
Like empty years they cry out,
Tanya!
When you’re sad and you feel you can’t go on
Look and see how far you’ve come
Understanding who you are
And remembering the star you are to me
Tanya
The days are very strange
so full of dangers and doubt
But through the twists and turns
the candle never burns out
Oh Tanya!
There’s a whole lot of places you can see
A lot of people you can be
Understanding who you are
And remembering the star you are to me
When you’re sad and you feel you can’t go on
Look and see how far you’ve come
Understanding who you are
And remembering the star you are to me
and from the darkest day
there’ll come a better way
for you and your dream Tanya.

Don't Leave me Now
04:16
|

|
Where tears meet the river,
where the rubber meets the road
I sit contemplating on the good things I have know’d
while Romeo and Juliet pass by inside the fog
Peter turns to Jesus,
and says ‘boy it’s gonna be a slog’
But Don’t Leave me now
I’ve got so much on the burner,
so much I have to say
But every time that elephant is standing in the way
So I grit my teeth, I hold my peace,
I put my tongue into my cheek
I close my eyes and count the sheep at the ending of the day
Don’t Leave me now
- whatever you do
There was pride, there was passion.
There was Bogey and Bacall
I squinted through a keyhole and I tiptoed down a hall
And I’ve listen through a stethoscope
and I’ve heard the rushing wind
I’ve looked inside a universe where Judas never sinned
but Don’t Leave me now
- whatever you do
Do I, or do I not cast a shadow on this wall?
Is there somewhere we can meet without the altar call?
Cos when I need something special,
when I’m needing something true
just to hear you breathing in and out is all I have to do
so Don’t Leave me now

Long Time Coming
03:43

Ring-a-ling-a-ling goes the bell
that ring-a-ling-a-ling I know so well
The deal is on the table
the map is on the wall
We made our plans, we shook our hands
now we’re waiting for your call
but it’s Long time coming,
coming to me
He who picks the winner picks the strongest
But he who laughs the last laughs the longest
When you call me from your private jet
flying coast to coast
‘The meat is in the oven babe
and the cheque is in the post’
oh but it’s Long time coming
coming to me
Something in the smells and bells don’t sit right
when you say we got to do the deal at midnight
One, Two, Three and Four
I did it once, I can’t do it no more
So let it rock, Let it roll
My ship is on the way
oh but it’s Long time coming
coming to me

Red Rose

Red Rose she tip toes,
She hums-ahs, she yes no’s
she bakes pies, she housewives,
she bow ties, she tells lies
But she knows all there is to know about dying slow
does Red Rose
Well she writes plays, she acts parts
she’s a Lord Protector, she’s a Bachelor of arts
And she collects men like a connoisseur
And she hates them who love here
And I knows all there is to know about dying slow
for Red Rose
Red Rose,
cold as winter snows
and warm as the first light of spring
She knows
which way the river flows
But makes like she don’t know a thing.
Well she’s the only virgin outside paradise
She’s the only one who’s not been sacrificed
She’s a stone cathedral, she’s a patron saint
And she’s a Red Cross Parcel for those who aint
cos she knows all there is to know about dying slow
does Red Rose

The Gates of Eternity

Standing here at the gates
Face to face
hoping this scene is a dream
but I know it aint
cos they ask me why – why is it a secret?
But it aint no secret, no no no no no no.
It was writ, it was read, it was spoken, it was said
hung high upon a notice board and underlined in red
Here at the Gates of eternity
Watching the people go by
my oh my
With faces like flint,
there’s no telling what they think
but they ask me why? – why is it a secret?
But it aint no secret, no no no no no no.
It was writ, it was read, it was spoken, it was said
and high upon a notice board it’s underlined in red
Here at the Gates of eternity
With the Butcher the baker and candlestick maker
The Kings and Queens, movers and shakers
mothers and lovers and givers and takers
and all of them looking at me!
Here at the Gates of eternity
Here at the Gates of eternity

Lookout on the Horizon
05:21

When the trumpet sounds
It’ll be time to close the door
Meet me inside the city wall
And Lookout on the Horizon
Lookout over the sea
Only yesterday
I caught the news as it came through
I couldn’t believe they could be so cruel
And Lookout on the Horizon
Lookout over the sea
Say, do you know
If there’s a place we can go?
Say do you know
Say, can you see
An end to all this misery?
Say can you see
Is it over now
Can we begin to mend our ways
Could we in time believe it pays
And Lookout on the Horizon
Lookout over the sea
