Back To The Light

 

The Dark

(May)

Little Baby sweetly sleep

Do not stir

We will bring a coat of fur

We will rock you, rock you,

We will rock you, rock you.....

See fur to keep you warm

Softly round your tiny form

 

 

Back To The Light

(May)

Far, Far from the light

Hear the night creatures call

With cold breath they howl

All the hollow hours they're calling

I'll be there

No matter what you're going through

In the dark I care

I'm holding on, I'm hoping on

It's still the same old me inside

(Chorus: Back to the light)

Back to the street, that are

Paved with gold

(Back to the light)

Back to the land where the

Sunshine heals my soul

Deep deep in the night

When the world fills with tears

And wind blows, colder and colder it grows

And the fire dims with the same old fears

I'll be there

Though maybe you don't hear me babe

I still care

No matter when, I'll still be there

When you make it to the other side

(Chorus: Back to the light etc)

On and on

Searching for a clearer view

Winning and losing an inner war

Wonder what we do it for

Though road seems never ending

Hold on to the hope I'm sending through

I'll be there

No matter where you're going to

In the dark I care

I'm holding on - believe it -

We'll be walking in the light

'Cos they'll be no place left to hide

(Chorus: Back to the light etc.)

 

 

Love Token

(May)

Mama's in love, Papa's in love

It's such a shame they don't love each other.

Papa's in a jam, Mama's throwin' pans

The game's up - it's time to run for cover

Everybody's cryin' but they can't stop hopin'

Everybody's lookin' for the door that's open

Mama's making heat to keep the fire smokin'

Papa's hangin' on his old love token

You got love but you ain't got style

You want your freedom but in a while

You're lost children but you know for sure

You gotta find out what your love is for

[Oh baby life ain't what is used to be]

(You're telling me - not since you 'been hangin' round here)

[Mama's what you screamin' for actin' like a demon for]

And hey mama quit wavin' them hands in the air

(Don't talk to me that way)

[well I don't see no reason to raise your voice to me]

(You put fat in the fire you got meat for brains)

[Well you don't give me comfort and a Man's

gotta get it somewhere]

(Ooh that's a shame) [Yeah, well...]

Mama's hangin' on to every word that's spoken

But Pap's hangin' onto his old love token

Oh I don't wanna leave you Mama

Oh I don't wanna leave you Papa

Long haired women gonna you to stone

You can't beat em - cos you need 'em

You gotta live - you gotta love

Your love token's gotta fit like a glove

Listen to the story 'bout the dream that's broken

You gotta keep a hold of your old love token

Oh I don't wanna leave you Mama

Oh I don't wanna leave you Papa

No I don't wanna leave you alone

But I'm gonna have to Babe

 

 

Resurrection

(May, Music: May, Powell, Page)

There's a pain in my brain

Confusion in my heart

My blood's fit for bursting

My body apart - I'm gonna ride -

Ride the night into the morning sun

Gonna make my resurrection

No more of this crap

Got a whole new direction

Ain't no turning back

Resurrection is a-gonna come

My spirit is weeping

For freedom it cries

Ben scraping my living

In the Valley of Lies

Ride the night into the morning sun

I'm a victim of a victim

Of a conspiracy

From a corpum derelictum

Gonna fly and be free

The resurrection is a-gonna come

Clear the vision

Heal the system

Sins forgiven - RISE!

Flee the prison

Break the system

Sins forgive - RISE!!RISE!!

Ride the night- yes I know I'm still alive -

Gotta ride the night - yeah I'm gonna ride -

Gonna rise again in the morning light

There's no use in counting

The price of those years

There's too many heartaches

And too many tears

Gotta ride the night into the morning sun

Yes I thought I was dreaming

But the East is ablaze

With promise of the future

Those Heavenly Days

Ride the night into the morning sun

Ride the night - into the morning sun

Cos the resurrection is a-gonna come

 

 

Too Much Love Will Kill You

(May,Musker,Lamers)

I'm just the pieces of the man I used to be

Too many bitter tears raining down on me

I'm far away from home

And I've been facing this alone for much too long

I feel like no-one ever told the truth to me

About growing up and what a struggle it would be

In my tangled state of mind

I've been looking back to find where I went wrong

Too Much Love Will Kill You

If you can't make up your mind

Torn between lover and the love you leave behind

You headed for disaster 'cos you never read the signs

Too Much Love Will Kill You - every time

I'm just the shadow of the man I used to be

And it seems there's no way out this for me

I used to bring you sunshine

Now all I ever bring you down

How would it be if you were standing in my shoes

Can't you see that it's impossible to choose

No there's making sense of it

Every way I go I have to lose

Too Much Love Will Kill You

just as sure as none at all.

It'll drain the power that's in you

Make you plead and scream and crawl

And the pain will make you crazy

You're the victim of your crime

Too Much Love Will Kill You - every time

Too Much Love Will Kill You

It'll make your life a lie

Yes, Too Much Love Will Kill You

And you won't understand why

You'd give your life you'd sell your soul

But here it comes again

Too Much Love Will Kill You

In the end...

In the end.

 

 

Driven By You

(May)

Woh - Everything I do I do for you -

We touch and you're afraid of me and

We burn and now I'm at your feet

High speed, but you know you're in safe hands

In the dark we make a brighter light

From one spark to the horizon wide

We trust, and together we tame the land

You'd be forgiven if you think you're dreaming

But we're working night and day to make a dream come true

Everything I do is driven by you

Oh well it's tough to make a journey through

The right stuff is dead ahead of you and me

And you know we've still got time

Hold on tight on the driving wheel

This ride is really out of line

Raw deal, but there's no other that's worth a dime

You know I love you but you drive me crazy

'Cos you're saying all the things I want to say to you

(you say)

Everything I do is driven by you

Everything we do

Everything we do

Everything we do

Everything we do is driven by you

Inner children lost their way

Now they know the price you pay

I'm holding on to life with you

'Cos life without you just won't do

Driven by you

You know we're never going to know who's dreaming

But we're working night and day to make a dream come true

Everything I do is driven by you

Everything we do Etc.

Everything we do is

Driven by

Driven by

Driven by

Driven by you

(Oooooh everything I dooo - I do it for you!)

 

 

Nothin' But Blue

(May, Music:May, Powell)

I look at your picture

I'm nothing but blue

I'm hearing you whisper

The way you used to do

And I can't stop wondering

Just how things might have been

No I'm nothin' but blue

My life has no rhythm

Somehow it's out of tune

I keep trying to tell them

We'll be seeing them soon

But the truth keeps rushing back

Guess you know what I mean...

No I'm nothin' but blue

No use in crying - that ain't what you would do - no

Living or dying - we'll just keep on fighting through

No I can't stop my wondering

'Bout all those things that might have been

No I'm nothin' but blue

Nothing...

Nothin' but blue

 

 

I'm Scared

(May)

You take me to the party

You put me on the stand

You're pumpin' up my heart

To the beatin' of the band

You toss it in the air

And you don't care where it lands

You take it - you break it

You're hurtin' me

Because I wasn't prepared

I couldn't go where you dared

You got my whole soul bared

i never knew that you cared

I'm scared.....etc

You take me out to dinner

And you swallow me whole

You're nothin' but sinner

With a dar black soul I figured I could handle you But I'm just a toy

You're gettin' bolder and bolder

You're just a bad bad boy

I'm scared.....etc

What you starin' at

You're such a scaredy cat

When I know that I just can't fight it

So what you starin' at

You're such scaredy cat

'Cos I'm only scared that maybe I might like it....

Chaos Karaoke - do your own thing but try the following :-

I'm scared to move, I'm scared of standing still

I'm scared to change, I'm scared to stay the same

I'm so scared I want to die

I'm scared of dying

I'm scared of not being liked, not being loved

I'm scared to be alone

I'm scared of being with people

I'm scared of disapproval

I'm scared of life

I'm scared to love lose what I have built

I'm scared of feeling scared

I'm scared of being ugly, being boring, being dull

I'm scared of my thoughts

I'm scared of being found out

I'm scared Steven Berkoff

I'm scared to dance, I'm scared to speak, to sing

I'm scared my body's awkward, the wrong shape, wrong smell

I'm scared to say what I think

I'm scared to say no, or yes too often

I'm scared of disappointing

I'm scared of losing control

I'm scared of pain, I'm scared of hurting, being hurt

I'm scared this will go on 'til I die

I'm scared of losing my home, my love, my kids, my kids, my kids

I'm scared my heart will break

I'm scared of losing myself

Because there might be no-one there at all

I'm scared of unknown future

I'm scared to make a wrong turn

I'm scared of the dark

I'm scared of failing

I'm scared it may all be for nothing

You push me to the limit

You push me to the brink

You left me with the blues

When you found me in the pink

You know just what you're saying

But your metaphors stink

I gotta lick it, or stick it,

Or this is the and

I'm scared.............etc.

 

 

Last Horizon

(May)

 

 

Let Your Heart Rule Your Head

(May)

If you've got time to stay and listen to my story

Just a moment of your life is all I need

Don't say we should be parted

'Cos we only just got started

Let your heart rule your head tonight

There's full moon shinin' on the water

There's warm breeze blowin' off the sea

And when my pulse starts a racin'

I know life is for tastin'

Let your heart rule your head tonight

(chorus: Let your heart rule your head)

Let your heart rule your head

Let your heart rule your head tonight

When your whole world is sinkin'

Come to my way of thinkin'

Let your heart rule your head tonight

It's been so long since I put my arms around you

And I dont' know if it's real or it's a dream

But don't pussy-foot about it - shout it

Just cant' live without it!

Let your heart rule your head (everybody)

Let your heart rule your head...etc.

You're starin' my face as though I'm crazy

When I tell you that I need you every day Can't

you see that I love you pretty baby

And ol' time don't ever stop tickin' away

Well your Mama don't mind

And your Papa don't mind

But you'll never be mine

If you're thinkin' all the time

We can work it out right

When I'm holdin' you tight

We can make it tonight

'Cos it ain't no crime

Don't let the moment slip away.....

Don't think about it - do it!

Well I know that we're in a time of changes

And in love there is a danger everywhere

But consider every portion

When you've taken your precautions

Let your heart (let your heart)

Let your heart (let your heart)

Let your heart, let your heart, let your heart

Let your heart tule your head.....etc.

 

 

Just One Life

(May)

I did not know you

Our lives never touched

'Til the say they gathered

To bid you farewell

And they painted your picture

And as I looked around

I felt I saw you

In the words and the sound

Your talent came flowing

Through the stories they tell

And through the the faces

Of those who loved you so well

Your life gave them a treasure

A piece of themselves

Something to carry

And still serves them well

Just One Life

Just One Life

Just One LIfe

That is born, and is, and is gone

Just One Life

And I'm so glad to know you

As I know you

Perhaps inside you

You were messed up like me

But them you were whole and strong

And friend in their need

And what you left behind you

And what swept over me

Says that your life's work

Rolls on and on

A piece of eternity

Just One Life

Just One Life

Just One Life

That is born, and is, and is gone

Just One Life

Did you ever have the change to find out

What life is all about

I did not know you

Our lives never touched

'Til the day we gathered

To say our farewells

 

 

Rollin' Over

(Marriot,Lane)

Goodbye sunshine I'm on my way

I'll be long time gone by the break of day

Tell everyone that I'm gonna find it

There ain't nothin' gonna stop me -

Rollin' Over, Rollin' Over

Save all your lovin' till I get home

To the sweetest lovin' sunshine that I've ever known

Tell everyone that I'm gonna find it

There ain't nothin' gonna stop me -

Rollin' Over, Shak-do-way

Rollin' Over, Yeah-yeah-yeah....
