Chansons
1. Caught Somewhere In Time (Harris)
If you had the time to lose
An open mind and time to choose
Would you care to take a look
Or can you read me like a book
Time is always on my side
Time is always on my side
Can I tempt you come with me
Be Devil may care fulfill your dream
If I said I’d take you there
Would you go would you be scared
Time is always on my side
Time is always on my side
Don’t be afraid you’re safe with me Safe as any soul can be.... Honestly
Just let yourself go
Caught somewhere in time
Caught somewhere in time
Caught somewhere in time....oh oh
Like a wolf in sheep’s clothing
You try to hide your deepest sins
Of all the things that you’ve done wrong
And I know where you belong
Time is always on my side
Time is always on my side
Make you an offer you can’t refuse
You’ve only got your soul to lose...
Eternally.... Just let yourself go!
Caught somewhere in time
Caught somewhere in time
Caught now in two minds!
2. Wasted Years (Smith)
Le single ci-dessous contient aussi Reach Out.
From the coast of gold, across the seven seas
I’m travellin on, far and wide
But now it seems, I’m just a stranger to myself
And all the things I sometimes do, it isn’t me but someone else
I close my eyes, and think of home
Another city goes by in the night
Ain’t it funny how it is, you never miss it `til it’s gone away
And my heart is lying there and will be `til my dying day
So understand Don’t waste your time always searching for those wasted years
Face up... make your stand
And realize you’re living in the golden years
Too much time on my hands,
I got you on my mind
Can’t ease this pain, so easily
When you can’t find the words to say it’s hard to make it through another
day
And it just makes me wanna cry and throw my hands up to the sky
3. Sea Of Madness (Smith)
Out in the street somebody’s crying
Out in the night the fires burn
Maybe tonight somebody’s crying
Reached the point of no return
Oh- my eyes they see but I can’t believe
Oh- my heart is heavy as I turn my back and leave
Like the eagle and the dove
Fly so high on wings above
When all you see can only bring you sadness
Like a river we will flow
On towards the sea we go
When all you do can only bring you sadness
Out on the sea of madness
Somewhere I hear a voice that’s calling
Out in the dark there burns a dream
You’ve got to hope when you are falling
To find the world that you have seen
Oh - my eyes they see but I can’t believe
Oh- my heart is heavy as I turn my back and leave
It’s madness
The sun don’t shine
On the sea of madness
There ain’t no wind to fill your sails
Madness when all you see can only bring you sadness
On towards the sea we go....
Out in the night somebody’s crying
Out in the night the fires burn
Maybe tonight somebody’s crying
Reached the point of no return
Oh- my eyes they see but I can’t believe
Oh- my heart is heavy as I turn my back and leave
4. Heaven Can Wait (Harris)
Can’t understand what is happening to me
This isn’t real this is only a dream
But I never have felt, no I never have felt this way before
I’m looking down on my body below
I lie asleep in the midst of a dream
Is it now could it be the Angel of Death has come for me
I can’t believe that really my time has come
I don’t feel ready there’s so much left undone
And it’s my soul and I’m not gonna let it get away
Heaven can wait, Heaven can wait
Heaven can wait, Heaven can wait til another day
I have a lust for the Earth below
And Hell itself is my only foe
`Cause I’ve no fear of dying
I’ll go when I’m good and ready
I snatch a glimpse of the lights eternal rays
I see a tunnel I stand amazed
At all of the people standing there in front of me
Into the paths of lightness I’ll be led
Is this the place where the living join the dead
I wish I knew this was only just a nightmare
Take my hand I’ll lead you to the promised land
Take my hand I’ll give you immortality
Eternal youth I’ll take you to the other side
To see the truth the path for you is decided
My body tingles I feel so strange
I feel so tired I feel so drained
And I’m wondering if I’ll ever be the same again
Is this in limbo or Heaven or hell
Maybe I’m going down there as well
I can’t accept my soul will drift forever
I feel myself floating back down to Earth
So could this be the hour of my rebirth
Or have I died or will I wake from dreaming?
5. The Loneliness Of The Long Distance Runner
(Harris)
The tough of the track
With the wind
And the rain that’s beating down on
Your back
Your heart’s beating loud
And goes on getting louder
And goes on even more `til the
Sound is ringing in your head
With every step you tread
And every breath you take
Determination makes you run never stop
Got to win got to run `til you drop
Keep the pace hold the race
Your mind is getting clearer
You’re over half way there
But the miles they never seem to end
As if you’re in a dream
Not getting anywhere
It seems so futile
Run on and on
Run on and on
The loneliness of the long distance runner
I’ve got to keep running the course
I’ve got to keep running and win at all costs
I’ve got to keep going, be strong
Must be so determined and push myself on
Run over stiles across fields
Turn to look at who’s on your heels
Way ahead of the field
The line is getting nearer but do
You want the glory that goes
You reach the final stretch
Ideals are just a trace
You feel like throwing the race
It’s all so futile
6. Stranger In A Strange Land (Smith)
Le single ci-dessous contient aussi That Girl.
Was many years ago that I left home and came this way
I was a young man , full of hopes and dreams
But now it seems to me that all is lost and nothing gained
Sometimes things ain’t what they seem
No brave new world, no brave new world
No brave new world, no brave new world
Night and day I scan the horizon , sea and sky
My spirit wanders endlessly
Until the day will dawn and friends from home discover why
Here me calling , rescue me
Set me free, set me free
Lost in this place , and leave no trace
Stranger in a strange land
Land of ice and snow
Trapped inside this prison
Lost and far from home
One hundred years have gone And men again they came that way
To find the answer to the mystery
They found his body lying where it fell on that day
Preserved in time for all to see
No brave new world , no brave new world
Lost in this place , to leave no trace
What became of the men that started
All are gone and their souls departed
Left me here in this place
So all alone
Stranger in a stranger in a strange land
Land of ice and snow
Trapped inside this prison
Lost and far from home
7. Deja-Vu (Murray Harris)
When you see familiar faces
But you don’t remember where they’re from
Could you be wrong?
When you’ve been particular places
That you know you’ve never seen before
Can you be sure?
‘Cause you know this has happened before
And you know that this moment in time is for real
And you know when you feel deja-vu
Feel like I’ve been here before
Feel like I’ve been here before
Feel like I’ve been here before
Feel like I’ve been here before
Ever had a conversation
That you realize you’ve had before
Isn’t it strange
Have you ever talked to someone
And you feel you know what’s coming next
It feels pre-arranged
`Cause you know that you’ve heard it before
And you feel that this moment in time is surreal
`Cause you know when you feel deja-vu
8. Alexander The Great (Harris)
“My son ask for thyself another
Kingdom , for that which I leave
is too small for thee”
(King Philip of Macedonia - 339 B.C)
Near to the east
In a part of ancient Greece
In an ancient land called Macedonia
Was born a son
To Philip of Macedon
The legend his name was Alexander
At the age of nineteen
He became the Macedon king
And he swore to free all of Asia minor
By the Aegian Sea
In 334 B.C.
He utterly beat the armies of Persia
Alexander the Great
His name struck fear into hearts of men
Alexander the Great
Became a legend ` mongst mortal men
King Darius the third
Defeated fled Persia
The Scythians fell by the river Jaxartes
Then Egypt fell to the Macedon King as well
And he founded the city called Alexandria
By the Tigris river
He met King Darius again
And crushed him again in the battle of Arbela
Entering Babylon
And Susa , treasures he found
Took Persepolis the capital of Persia
Alexander the Great
His name struck fear into hearts of men
Alexander the Great
Became a God amongst mortal men
A Phrygian king had bound a chariot yoke
And Alexander cut the “Gordian Knot”
And legend said that who untied the knot
He would become the master of Asia
Helonism he spread far and wide
The Macedonian learned mind Their culture was a western way of life
He paved the way for Christianity
Marching on , marching on
The battle weary marching side by side
Alexander’s army line by line
They wouldn’t follow him to India
Tired of combat , pain and the glory
Alexander the Great
His name struck fear into hearts of men
Alexander the Great
He died of fever in Babylon
And crushed him again in the battle of Arbela
Entering Babylon
And Susa , treasures he found
Took Persepolis the capital of Persia
Alexander the Great
His name struck fear into hearts of men
Alexander the Great
Became a God amongst mortal men
A Phrygian king had bound a chariot yoke
And Alexander cut the “Gordian Knot”
And legend said that who untied the knot
He would become the master of Asia
Helonism he spread far and wide
The Macedonian learned mind Their culture was a western way of life
He paved the way for Christianity
Marching on , marching on
The battle weary marching side by side
Alexander’s army line by line
They wouldn’t follow him to India
Tired of combat , pain and the glory
Alexander the Great
His name struck fear into hearts of men
Alexander the Great
He died of fever in Babylon
