Prelude to the Sun
02:24
|
|||
When the sun
Awakes me to my day
And every day
Not just another day
The sun that makes me feel
Everything more real
When the sun, when the sun . . .
I’m waiting for the sun

I Guess We're in Love
03:35
|
|||
We didn’t know then what we would become
Discouraged in life and always on the run
Our hearts were beating like a jungle of drums
We followed the sun
to a place they call Love
Yeah, I guess we’re in Love
We can’t get enough, we can’t get enough
I guess we’re in Love
I guess we’re in Love
I guess we’re in Love
I guess we’re in Looooooove
I guess we’re in Love
I guess we’re in Love
I guess we’re in Love
The damage that has been done
Can be turned around
The sadness in the world
Buried in the ground
Kindness in the heart
Makes a life more pure (do you value world peace?
Now we are so in love . . . do you value world survival?)
Looooooove
Spring is comin’ and
Birds are doin’ it
We think we’re in love and
Now we’re provin’ it
We knew we were old
But we thought we were young
Yeah, here comes the sun
Here comes the sun (here comes the sun)
Here comes the sun (here comes the sun)
Here comes the sun (here comes the sun)
(here comes the sun)
Here comes the sun!
We can’t get enough

Nobody Has to Know
04:03
|
|||
Everyday I start my day
just like everybody else
I smile when people pass me by
They’ll think I feel good about myself
Maybe I’m forgettable
Maybe I’m a sorry soul
What if I’m not even a contender?
I don’t know
Nobody has to know
Nobody has to know
I don’t need to be in the limelight
When I can stay underground with you
‘cause the two of us is magic
You and me and me and you
There’s a world inside the world
That’s where I want to be
Just float down the silent streets
When real life is too much like it seems
Nobody has to know
Nobody has to know
No rain
please no more rain
I’m ready now for sunlight
Keep to the business of getting ahead
And when you help me rise above myself
I can get out of my head
I need your inspiration
To keep in good condition
. . . and some proper nutrition
Nobody has to know
Nobody has to know
Nobody has to know
Nobody has to know

Knocking Down the Door
03:34

La la la la la la la la La la la la la la la la La la la la la la la la La la la la la la la la
They kicked us around, but they didn’t know us
We didn’t cry and we didn’t laugh
We were imperiled and insulted
We acted calm, but we were aghast!
(As soon as they say “I swear to God,” we know that it’s a lie
We’ve got ‘em and we’re not going to stand by!)
If we were lost, we didn’t know it
We were losing track of time
They were audacious and they were confusing
We were slightly hypnotized
(instrumental interlude . . . knocking down the door . . . knocking down the door)
When we were young and had ambition
We were put down time after time
We were afraid by our own admission
You could see it in our eyes
We were found when we got lost
We were feeling a bit better after awhile
And before long we would be strong
And we would all be singing . . . knocking down the door
(We handled them with kid gloves, for sure – never insecure
ANGER . . . smouldering in SILENCE)
Oo oo oo oo oo oo Oo oo oo oo oo oo
Oo oo oo oo oo oo Oo oo oo oo oo oo We’re knocking down the door!
Oo oo oo oo oo oo Oo oo oo oo oo oo We’re knocking down the door!
We’re knocking down the door!
We’re knocking down the door!
We’re knocking down the door
We’re knocking down the door
We’re knocking down the door
We’re knocking down the door

Playing in the Mud
03:04
|

We’re playing in the mud
We’re playing in the mud
I know you’re my bud
When we’re playing in the mud
We’re playing in the mud
We’re playing in the mud
Honey, you’re my bud
When we’re playing in the mud
When you’re feeling too much stress
‘cause the world is such a mess
And you know you can’t give up
‘cause you never must give up
And you’re feeling kinda strange
And you know it ain’t gonna change
Shakin’ my head – shakin’ my head – shakin’ my head
We’re playing in the mud
We’re playing in the mud
Baby, you’re my bud
When we’re playing in the mud
Playing in the mud
We’re playing in the mud
Honey, I’m in love
When we’re playing in the mud
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo . . .
Shakin’ my head – shakin’ my head
It gets worse then it gets better
It gets worse then it gets better
Things get worse then they get better
It gets worse then it gets better
When you’re feeling too uptight
‘cause you always gotta get it right
That’s when you know it’s time
( it’s time )
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
When you’re feeling kinda sad
And you wish you had what you had
How’re you gonna get it back?
Where are you gonna go
When you’ve lost everything you know?
( 1 – 2 – 3 )
We’re playing in the mud
We’re playing in the mud
I know you’re my bud
When we’re playing in the mud
Playing in the mud
We’re playing in the mud
Honey, I’m in love
When we’re playing in the mud
Playing in the mud
Playing in the mud
Oh . . . I’m in love
When we’re playing in the mud
Playing in the mud
Playing in the mud
I know you’re my bud
When we’re playing in the mud

New World Coming
04:45
|

There’s a new world coming
And it’s coming down on me
Yeah there’s a new world coming
Gonna set us all free
Comin’ down from the sky
Comin’ into your heart
Comin’ down from the sky
Comin’ into your heart
Yeah there’s a new world comin’
It’s gonna set us free
Stand up and welcome the new world
Stand up and welcome the new world
Stand up and welcome the new world
It’s comin’ down on you (repeat)
It’s a secret for now
But you’re gonna find it
You’re bound to learn how
It makes everything fit
There is a new world comin’
And you’re gonna like it
Stand up and welcome the new world
Stand up and welcome the new world
Stand up and welcome the new world
It’s comin’ down on you (repeat)
There’s a new world comin’
And it’s comin’ down on me
Yeah there’s a new world comin’
It’s gonna set us all free
Comin’ down from the sky
Comin’ into your heart
Comin’ down from the sky
Comin’ into your heart
Yeah there’s a new world comin’
It’s gonna be alright
Be alright
There’s a new world
(there’s a new world comin’)
And it’s right overhead
There’s a new world
(there’s a new world comin’)
Just like I said
Down from the sky
From the great by and by
There’s a new world comin’
There’s a new world comin’
There’s a new world comin’

Do You Listen to Me
04:07
|
|||
I was tired and I bombed
‘cause I really wasn’t into my song
And my mind went back to the days gone by
When I was on the radio
Yeah, it’s true . . . life goes so fast
But I don’t wanna live in the past
So I do what I do and I listen to you
No I’m never going back (yes)
Do you listen to me like I listen to you?
Do you listen to me when I’m tellin’ the truth?
Are you following me?
How am I to know? (wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo)
Take a chance, do it now
Or you may never, never, never know how
And the message is true, it depends on you and me
To put the world right
I was right – you wuz wrong
All I had to do was pick up the phone
But the sound, sweet sound
Still rhymed
Do you listen to me like I listen to me?
Do you listen to me? – I’m tellin’ the truth
Are you following me?
Cuz I’m following you (you you you you you you you)
Do you listen to me like I listen to me?
Do you listen to me? – I’m tellin’ the truth
Are you following me?
Cuz I’m following you (you you you you you you you)
You you you you you you (breathe)
You you you you you you (breathe)
Let it go!
Life goes fast – life goes fast
Life goes fast – take it slow
Life goes fast – take it slow
Take it slow . . . take it slow (fast)
Take it slow (fast)

Living in the Future
04:02
|
|||
I’m living in the future – breathing in the moment
Living in the future and digging up the past
I’m living in the future – breathing in the moment
And it’s out of my hands
I wonder what it’s gonna be like
Living in the future – is it gonna be fine?
Living in the future
Is it gonna be nice?
Somebody out there, somebody knows
Where we are going, the way the wind blows
The way the wind blows, the way the wind blows
Living in a moment
I’m living in the future – breathing in the moment
I’m living in the future and dreaming of the past
We’re all together and what have we done?
Done about the future? . . . it’s out of our hands
Somebody out there, somebody knows
The river is flowing but where does it go?
Where does it go? Where does it go?
Treading in the water
I’m giving up guessing, going with the flow
Where the river’s flowing only the river knows
Giving up on guessing, going with the flow
. . .
Only the river knows . . . only the river knows
It’s out of our hands
Only the river knows
It’s out of our hands
The river knows

Lost Time
01:36
|

I know I’ll never forget you
I’ll never let time pass you by
I’ll always always always always always always always love you
You never never leave my mind
Please remember me
When time is gone
And it’s over
And all that’s left is
The world

Thunder 2020
03:45
|
|||
You never know where you have been before
But now you wonder
You’ll never find it where it was before
Blown under cover
You never know who you may come upon
On the tundra
You never know if there’ll be anyone
On the tundra
Thunder on the tundra – thunder on the tundra
Thunder on the tundra – thunder on the tundra
You forget where you have wandered from
On the tundra
She found me lost where I had never come
On the tundra
She stepped out of the midnight sheet of sun
My first sighting
She walked toward me and my heart was struck
Like lightning
Thunder on the tundra – thunder on the tundra
Thunder on the tundra – thunder on the tundra
I think, I think of you
I watch, I watch for you
I dream, I dream of you
I stand motionless for you
Thunder on the tundra – thunder on the tundra
Thunder on the tundra – thunder on the tundra

Waiting for the Sun
03:14
|
|||
When the sun
Awakes me to my day
And every day
Not just another day
The sun that makes me feel
Everything more real
When the sun, when the sun . . .
I’m waiting for the sun
Behind the moon
They found another moon
And a world hidden from our view
Lost without a name
Where no one ever came
Another world . . . another moon
Waiting for the sun
Let the morning sunshine in your eyes
Burn the fog away
Open up your heart, it’s going to be
Another perfect day
Yay!
When the sun
Is hidden by the rain
And the rain
Is dribbling down the drain
I know there’s hope for me
When it all comes down on me
When the sun, when the sun . . .
I’m waiting for the sun
Waiting for the sun
Waiting for the sun

Immaculate Time
05:44
|
|||
It’s an immaculate thing – so real
And the passage of time is nothing at all
That has its appeal
You know you can’t be late – we’ll always wait for you
It’s an immaculate time
It’s an immaculate time . . . an immaculate time
You do what you do and I do what I want
I have nothing to give up
It’s an immaculate thing – so real
And the passage of time is nothing at all
That has its appeal
You know you can’t be late – we’ll always wait for you
An immaculate world
It’s an immaculate world
You do what you do and I do what I want
Can no one put a stop? (before it’s too late)
Oooo – wah wah
It’s an impossible world – It’s an impossible world
It’s an impossible world – It’s an impossible world
An impossible world
An immaculate time
An immaculate time
Oooo – wah wah – Immaculate time

I only live for the summer
I only live for the summer
For the summer
I only live
Gone gone gone, the summer is gone
Gone gone gone, the summer is gone
Gone gone gone, yeah the summer is gone
Gone . . . summer’s gone
Gone for the summer
Maybe forever
I’m disenchanted with the haze in the sky
I’m disenchanted with the waters that rise
I’m disenchanted with the cold cold cold of the winter
I’m disenchanted with the fires that blaze
I’m disenchanted with the cities that crumble
I’m disenchanted with the world world world malaise
. . . malaise . . . malaise . . . malaise . . .
I don’t I don’t wanna fight no more
I don’t I don’t wanna fight no more
I don’t wanna be the one who’s sore
I don’t wanna fight no more
My bones my bones and my muscles are sore
My tones my tones and my knuckles are torn
I don’t need to even up the score
Don’t wanna fight no more
General malaise . . . general malaise
I’m disenchanted disenchanted
I’m disenchanted I’m disenchanted
I’m disenchanted I’m disenchanted
I’m disenchanted disenchanted
I’m disenchanted disenchanted
I’m disenchanted I’m disenchanted

I was a living in a moonray
and the sun might never come up
There was a moonray
And that was enough
I could get a lot done without the sun
As long as I had my moonray
And if it once existed
[That was enough] That was enough
Moonray . . .
What I believed was burned away
What I remember
lost in yesterday
in my moonray
Lucid my dreams
In a moonray
Who needs the sun anymore?
Who needs the sun . . . anymore?
Who needs the sun . . . anymore?
Who needs the sun? Who needs the sun . . . anymore?
Who needs the sun . . . anymore?
Who who
