Only shows that you once cared Now thereīs no, no expense spared No expense spared (2x) No expense, no, no No, no, no Everybody knows, Everybodyīs singing in the one man show of life My life, some life Some life (5x) Life (3x) Cheap, so cheap, a bargain, Buy it at the shop, at the store with a cheque or card Tell me now, what should I be doing here ? No expense is spared So any little deal will do, I give it no regard. Hanging around, thatīs all I seem to do when youīre around Buy, buy, buy our product Well below the recommended price, itīs not so hard Absolutely stunning Thatīll do nicely, slap it on the card today Oh I canīt see, what you want from me, No expense is spared I havenīt any money so American Express will pay. No commitment, no financial guarantee I should own the bank, then Take it all away to play the town The price is down And thereīs no expense spared for me. 2 - DYLIC 1 - NO EXPENSE SPARED Writen By Rick Wakeman & Adam Wakeman Keyboards - Rick & AdamWakeman Drums - Tony Fernandez Acoustic, Eletric And Bass Guitars - Alan Thomson 3 - ITīS YOUR MOVE Writen By Rick Wakeman Keyboards - Rick Wakeman Vocals - Chrissie Hammond Drums - Tony Fernandez Eletric And Bass Guitars - Alan Thomson Itīs your move Itīs my move for you Roundabout is no disgrace A word in time confusion. Cans and Brahms were just a way Of forming na illusion. Total mass retain eclipse and You and I the preacher. Cord of life get up get down Just listen to the teacher. We have heaven When the circus came to town. Run around the sunrise Itīs your move Itīs your move. Donīs eat meat except on Monday thatīs the fun day. See you later generator Going for the other one we are the sun. Not forsaken just awaken. I can see you. I can see through you. I can feel you. I can heal through you. I can see you. I can see through you. I can feel you. I can feel you move. Itīs your move. I have heard a songbird a firebird I have heard a songbird All around told in sound lots of stories wondrous stories. No tormato will, just a hill Donīt kill, the whole will Future times is not a race in any case Yours is my disgrace. 4 - NO ONE CARES Writen By Adam Wakeman Keyboards - Adam Wakeman Vocals - Chrissie Hammond Additional Vocals - Adam Wakeman Drums - Tony Fernandez Acoustic Guitar - Dr. Doom Bass Guitars - Alan Thomson No more light, to break our dawn No more skies, to help us fly. We learn too fast, that we lose control We destroy our world, in the way we know No one cares anymore No one cares anymore. No more lies, to build our dreams They tell us red, and then blind us with green. Thereīs no way, that weīll survive Weīre too unlike, the real mankind. No one cares anymore No one cares anymore. 5 - LUCK OF THE DRAW Writen By Rick Wakeman Keyboards - Rick Wakeman Drums - Tony Fernandez Acoustic Guitar - Dr. Doom Eletric And Bass Guitars - Alan Thomson 6 - DREAM THE WORLD AWAY Writen By Adam Wakeman Keyboards - Adam Wakeman Vocals - Adam Wakeman Additional Vocals - Chrissie Hammond Drums - Tony Fernandez Acoustic Guitar - Dr. Doom Eletric and Bass Guitars - Alan Thomson The little girl watches the rich folk passing by The pavementīs cold and hard, but she donīt cry Her helpless little smile, is the way that she survives You can turn your head, but your heart cannot hide. The daddy watches his little daughter play But the only thing he wants is her pay, at the end of the day To say that he cares, brings a tear to my eyes The profiteering business man, heīs the one should cry. Somewhere in the world, thereīs got to be a way To save this little girl from fading away Somewhere in the world there has to be some sign Before she walks the street the final time. Her hands are reaching out, as you sit there quietly The silence in her eyes, shows no need for hospitality The child she shows no feelings, no expressions on her face, so pale Another three years on and sheīll have something else for sale. Tell me what we can do, to help her live a better life Anything we give, somebody takes away So take what you can find And dream the world away. Somewhere in the world, thereīs got to be a way To save this little girl from fading away Somewhere in the world there has to be a sign Before she walks the streets again - Just dream the world away. 7 - IS IT THE SPRING ?

Swing through the town all night, Never get a chance to wait. Hold on baby, Youīre driving me insane In the jungle of confusion, Thereīs only one game. The same. Here comes trouble, Had a little drink the night before, Lots of trouble, Chace to even up the score, Come on baby, Youīre driving me insane In the jungle of confusion Thereīs only one game. Hold on, stay alive, Got to keep my eyes awake. Steal all the evening light, and bake it in the jungle cake Come on baby. Youīre driving me insane tonight. 11 - CHILDREN OF CHERNOBYL Writen By Rick Wakeman Keyboards - Rick Wakeman Bass Guitar - Alan Thomson 12 - FIND THE TIME Writen By Adam Wakeman Keyboards - Adam Wakeman (mini moog solo during outro Rick Wakeman) Vocals - Chrissie Hammond Drums - Tony Fernandez Eletric and Bass Guitars - Alan Thomson Tell me where youībe been - īcause I donīt know, And I donīt care, no, no. You never said that you would be, Coming back, coming back for me. Can you find the time to come and say goodbye Whatīs the point to save a little time Youīre always tired every time I call You make excuses, you drive me up the wall You donīt like my house no, you donīt like my car Itīs just as well you learned to drive īCause youīve been driving me too far Did you take the time to wash away your blues ? I hope you found the time, nowīs the time to choose īCause you need me - and I need you To hold me - close to you Can you wait for me - ītil the morning comes To your door - like the sun Hey, who should I be ? should I be me ? Or who you wanted me to be To you, I cannot say oh anything Before you turn your back and you walk away Did you take the time to wash away your blues ? I hope you found the time, nowīs the time to choose I donīt buy you diammonds, I donīt buy you shoes If I did youīd walk on me, but thatīs all you seem to do If you said you needed me, Iīd be knocking at your door, I bet youīd leave me standing there for some sympathy Iīm sure Did you take the time to wash away your blues ? I hope you found the time, nowīs the time to choose īCause you need me - and I need you To hold me - close to you Can you wait for me - ītil the morning comes To your door - like the sun
