Shipwrecked 02:55
In the dark I hear the silence of a dream just slipping away Days are long but nights are longer as the grey walls fade into day So take these thoughts of mine... Cos I’m Shipwrecked on a foreign shore Thousand miles maybe more - Save me! [Save me!] Shipwrecked on a foreign shore Thousand miles maybe more - Save me! Missing you and hoping you do, if you get this give me a sign Give me reason, hope of treason, help me cross this borderline So take these thoughts of mine... Cos I’m Shipwrecked on a foreign shore Thousand miles maybe more - Save me! [Save me!] Shipwrecked on a foreign shore Thousand miles maybe more - Save me! There’s a thousand reasons, I see love and hate As I count the seasons, is it just too late? Shipwrecked on a foreign shore Thousand miles maybe more - Save me! [Save me!] Shipwrecked on a foreign shore Thousand miles maybe more - Save me! [Save me!] Shipwrecked on a foreign shore Thousand miles maybe more - Save me! [Save me!] Shipwrecked on a foreign shore Thousand miles maybe more...

In the dark there lies a lady who is sleeping Dreaming all the dreams she’s dreamt before In the corner there’s a candle slowly burning It seems like no-one comes here anymore He’s in the park and he is soaking up the sunlight Smiling in a most peculiar way For years he told them all that he was leaving Just yesterday he got to have his way Is this life? North of England [North of England, North of England] Is this life? North of England Is this life? North of England [North of England, North of England] Is this life? North of England She’ll say she’s doing fine right now Got the things she wanted anyhow She would not like to be inside your shoes I wouldn’t like to change her ways for you There’s a man who’s spent his life working for others Nine to five, begrudging every day Now he rises in the middle of the morning He wouldn’t have it any other way Is this life? North of England [North of England, North of England] Is this life? North of England Is this life? North of England [North of England, North of England] Is this life? North of England

Spies 04:23
We see thing eye to eye In a world of spies The depths of the crypt or the golden halls Driving in the night, hide, run or fight By the cold light of the silvery moon My eyes see you standing by an open doorway I stand unseen, see your every move Hiding in shadows Spies, hunting you down Spies, nothings gonna stop us Spies! The rusty old lift shaft hides the light Empty rooms, nothing in sight Open doorways, gates unlocked Just like the T.V. spies, non-stop By the cold light of the silvery moon My eyes see you standing by an open doorway I stand unseen, see your every move Hiding in shadows Spies, hunting you down Spies, nothings gonna stop us Spies! Who? Why? Where and when? The answers to the questions Get a fast car or travel by plane Get the documents and away again

So Clear 03:08
Down dusty streets there’s a place I go where I can sit and dream alone It’s hotter than the day before And you know That there’s a place that you’ll always have A place that’s deep within my heart A little older and wiser now So you know How could it be - So clear How could you seem - So near I find a different person That’s hiding deep beneath my skin A little shy and a difference You should know I turned a different corner The shadows turning into light And if you want, you can find it In your heart How could it be - So clear How could you seem - So near

Being Lonely 02:44
You're sat at home and you've got nothing to do It's four-o-clock on a Friday afternoon There's people passing by got their eyes on you And you're standing in the queue you've got no job to do The sun doesn't shine like it used to do The drizzle in the air mixed with streetlight glare If looks could kill, you’d be feeling ill You’ve got the skills to pay the bills But you don’t know what to do. Don’t know what to do being lonely Don’t know how to take being lonely Don’t know what to do being lonely Don’t know how to take being lonely You’ve got a family to support How you’re gonna do it on income support Their clothes are torn but you’ve got a form And now you’re wishing you’d never been born. Don’t know what to do being lonely Don’t know how to take being lonely Don’t know what to do being lonely Don’t know how to take being lonely

Dr Fell 04:41
The cold light of day brings a cool empty silence Reading through the news reports, something’s on his mind A lone wolf, castaway, deep in the back of beyond Slave to the bottle the night before, he didn’t know what he saw Whoooh, Dr Fell Whoooh, Dr Fell There’s evil in the night, his eyes looking out Bringing a bitter pill, that’s the price you pay Once he had the flair for the finer things in life Now he can't do anything, Dr Fell is here to stay Whoooh, Dr Fell Whoooh, Dr Fell Whoooh, Dr Fell Whoooh, Dr Fell His father used to tell him, to stop his idol worship The day of reckoning, close at hand He refused to forget his foolish dreams, seeking revenge Refused to forget – the things he’s seen. Whoooh, Dr Fell Whoooh, Dr Fell Whoooh, Dr Fell Whoooh, Dr Fell

Why? Why do you cry? You said you don’t care anymore. Take… Take all these things. You said I don’t need them anymore. Life can be so good and life is oh so fine in make-believe. Life can be so good and life is oh so fine in make-believe. In make-believe. Time. Time can be kind. Truth and lies fade away. Take… Take all these thoughts. Burning, hating no more. Life can be so good and life is oh so fine in make-believe. Life can be so good and life is oh so fine in make-believe. In make-believe. [in make-believe] In make-believe, in make-believe oooh! In make-believe, oooh! In make-believe, in make-believe. Time. Time can be kind So why? Why do you cry?

Time 04:01
I used to dream of times like these That I had seen on cold, wet nights On the cinema screen Nights of romance, nights of dreams But time passes We miss the chances it brings ourway A wheel of fortune That keeps turning anyway Monochrome fragments Reminders of the way we were I turned to the photograph I still keep of her But time passes We miss the chances it brings ourway A wheel of fortune That keeps turning anyway Don't tell me I could have been different I'll tell you that's not true Like a tower of Babylon Built in the image of you But time passes We miss the chances it brings ourway A wheel of fortune That keeps turning anyway Time passes We miss the chances it brings ourway A wheel of fortune That keeps turning anyway Keeps turning anyway Keeps turning anyway Keeps turning anyway Time Passes A wheel of fortune That keeps turning anyway That keeps turning anyway That keeps turning anyway That keeps turning anyway That keeps turning anyway That keeps turning anyway

The cold is biting, I feel the sensation Of shivers, on a dark winter's night A face looks out from a distant window Near the tracks, by the factory site I'm coming back this time I'm coming in, in from the cold My hand is reaching for the door I'm coming in, in from the cold The streets we walked alone at night The lights shine down to cast a shadow We were laughing at life, I can remember Now I feel the chill, it seemed long ago. I'm coming back this time I'm coming in, in from the cold My hand is reaching for the door I'm coming in, in from the cold

I can hear you knocking - There’s no-one there I can hear you talking - There's no-one there This heartbeat sounds familiar - It's fantasy Am I falling in love - for all to see Would you believe in me, if I believed in you Put your trust in me, it will come back to you If you said just once, I feel the same as you oh I know I would die oh I know I would die The streets just like a playground - It's hard to talk My feet don't seem to listen - Getting harder to walk My mouth is saying strange things - Don't listen to me Is this the way it has to be - For all to see Would you believe in me, if I believed in you Put your trust in me, it will come back to you If you said just once, I feel the same as you oh I know I would die oh I know I would die I can hear you knocking - There’s no-one there I can hear you talking - There's no-one there This heartbeat sounds familiar - It's fantasy Am I falling in love - for all to see Would you believe in me, if I believed in you Put your trust in me, it will come back to you If you said just once, I feel the same as you oh I know I would die Would you believe in me, if I believed in you Put your trust in me, it will come back to you If you said just once, I feel the same as you oh I know I would die oh I know I would die Would you believe in me, if I believed in you Put your trust in me, it will come back to you If you said just once, I feel the same as you oh I know I would die oh I know I would die

It's late at night Tomorrow brings another day for me Too much whisky and wine Now I'm dancing with somebody else My feet are moving to a different pace Tonight's all mine Tonight's all mine Too late for all the tricksters The time to joke has gone This passenger of night-time Wants to talk about those thoughts inside And all the things that make us terrified Tonight's all mine Tonight's all mine Tonight's all mine Tonight's all mine
