Caught In A Wheel
04:44

Someone stop this carousel, just let me off, I’m bored as hell
Cause nothing seems the way it used to seem
I need to cure this allergy, cause everything that used to be
No longer holds a presence in my heart
Caught in a wheel, spinning round and round
A cog in the machine of apathy
What happened to that energy, the safety pins the anarchy?
Somehow they got lost along the way
They’ve been replaced by credit cards, tailored suits and caviar
And anything the flavour of the day
Caught in a wheel, spinning round and round
A cog in the machine of apathy
How does it feel swinging upside down?
A product of your own conformity
Ever feel somehow we’ve been this way before
A part of someone’s master plan
Revolution, that’s the only battle call
But it’s already gone, guess I’m already gone
Well my friend the time has come, go and get your atom bomb
Stash it in that Jag you got for free
The press can have their field day, governments got blown away
They’ll blame it on their broken policies
Ever feel somehow we’ve been this way before
Well it seems that nothing’s changed
Revolution was the only battle call
But it’s already gone, guess we’re already gone

Santa Monica Sunshine

|
Cruisin’ to the rhythm of the radio
Lost within the freedom of the undertow
Feelin’ like you’re flying at the speed of light
Burnin’ up baby better hold on tight yeah
So take it easy baby, enjoy the ride
This helter-skelter takes ya fifty miles high
Santa Monica sunshine
California smile
Santa Monica sunshine
It might burn you babe, blind your eyes
Finger on the trigger gonna shine tonight
Burnin’ up the city like you’re dynamite
Ain’t no turnin’ back, you know it’s gone too far
Now you’re gonna be another superstar
So take your poison baby, get your fill
Cause all those fantasies just might be real
Santa Monica sunshine
California smile
Santa Monica sunshine
It might burn you babe, blow your mind
You could be another million dollar baby
We’ve got the pills to make it real, to keep you sane
Santa Monica sunshine
California smile
Santa Monica sunshine
It goes on for miles

Let It Burn
05:55
|
|||
|
She raises her head to see right through me
So tender the touch to see what you see
Shadows fall on stony ground
Silence breaks without a sound
Lying naked on your bed
No a thought, not a thread
Won’t you shine your light
Let it burn tonight
So pages are turned and lessons are learned
Now you’ve found your voice the words return
Colours fall around your feet
A breath of life for us to breathe
That day you painted me in blue
Well my love this one’s for you
Won’t you shine your light
Let it burn tonight

American Dream
05:37
|
|||
|
Seemed like a good idea at the time
Seemed as good a time as any
Take a little trip over the boarder line
Selling secrets two a penny
Just like the pictures in Time Magazine
You’ve gotta get your hands on part of the American dream
And they said, we’re gonna look after you
But what you’re giving us is dynamite
But they’re gonna be after you
Come in from the cold and you’ll be alright
Beyond the backdoor to the west
You have the key in your hand
Keep on talking, get it off your chest, and they said
We need a whole lot more than this, you understand
Welcome to America
Things aren’t quite the way they seem
Welcome to America
Go on and dream, the American dream
You had you dream you stood by it
You got your freedom can’t deny it
A great big house and a new identity
A pension for like and the total security
But you’re a small fish swimming against the tide
Just a small fish with nowhere left to hide

You
04:21
|
|||
|
See those vacant faces stare in silence
They don’t know
Hear the lies that criticize
But fail to understand a word of truth
The truth
I search my feelings, but all I feel is you
In all this darkness all I see is you
See the veil that hides a tale of innocence and fear
No one hears
A broken mask, a frozen tear
The beauty held within remains a dream
Just a dream
I search my feelings, but all I feel is you
In all this darkness all there is, is you
You

Slave To Passion
04:55
|
|||
|
Somewhere in the distant light
A strange call in the dead of night
It’s a cruel deception
But the slave to passion journeys on
A lost child with a broken heart
Looking for a place to start
A sole flower in the sea of love
The search for honour carries on
As the fool and the jester play
The thief will steal your heart away
It’s the art of illusion
But the taste of your obsession drives you on
Somewhere in the fragments of your mind
You’ll find a place where you can hide
Somewhere on the other side
Behind the mirror lies
A world of seduction
And the slave to passion journeys on
In through the out door of your mind
You never know what you will find
So crystal clear the vision seems
The painted picture of your dreams just fades away
………………..

Innocent Days
05:38
|
|||
|
I remember those hazy days
Rolling around in those fields of hay
Not a care in the world it seemed
Kicking up dust in those worn out jeans
I found a photograph yesterday
Torn in the corner and faded away
Ain’t it funny how times have changed
The faces have aged yet they’re still the same
Oh, those sunny days, the voices linger
Oh take me away
I want to get back to those innocent days
When love was blind and the music was free
And we’d all play along in a different key
I heard that song that we used to play
With all the right chords played in all the wrong ways
It took me back to those endless nights
Raising a glass to the time of our lives
Oh, those endless nights, the songs they linger
Oh take me away
I want to get back to those innocent days
By the fire we’d dance to the songs
We’d all sing along though the words were wrong
Remember the girl with the moon in here eyes?
I can smell her perfume, I can taste her smile
She held the world in such a delicate way
I hear the music we made

Token Of Gold
04:27
|
|||
|
Lines on the sand tell the story
Washed by the tide they have lost their glory
Words in the wind whisper to me
Dreams of the past which are drowning slowly
Token of gold shine before me
Token of gold wont you tell me oh
Why does it hurt so bad
Token of gold shed your meaning
Token of gold here me screaming oh
Why does it hurt so bad
Dazed by the thoughts of tomorrow
Chained by the weight of my golden sorrow
Held in my hand a reminder
Thrown to the sea, now it burns no longer
………………..

Whiteout
07:35
|
|||
|
Ice cold in the distance
A frozen soul taking flight
Cannot scream for the silence
Cannot sleep for the night
Reaching out in the darkness
Holding on for dear life
Without hope, without conscience
Without any guiding light
Did I share the dream with you?
Did I bear the dream with you?
On that snow covered mountain
The air it seems to thin to breathe
As I fall and I stumble
I kid myself I still believe
I see a light in the distance
A silhouette in a dream
You came to save my existence
You came to lay your hands on me

Lullaby
05:02
|
|||
|
The dream you had has been and gone
Bathed beneath its amber sun
Just close you eyes and set it free
Lost within the melody
Sail away, sail away
Save the tears for another rainy day
The things you love they come and go
The summer sun, the winter snow
The storms are only passing by
You’re safe within your lullaby
Sail away, sail away
Save the tears for another rainy day
Sail away, sail away
Save the fears for another rainy day
Into the light beyond the sky
You’re floating like a butterfly
Drift along that endless haze
Spread your tiny wings and fly away
Nice dreams
