Warmer Hands
A sorcery of light and shade
Goes ringing on inside
Fallen like an angel
Crying out with pride.

Melancholy - menacing
Waiting for survivors
I'm not the one to cry
They can't all be liars.

Cold hearts - colder days
Wait for the storm.

Intermezzo
ANOTHER DOG

Hear the joker
Now his times run dry
And another dog
Has hit the dust
And smiling all the way
Has travelled here at last to cry
'My youth is far behind me -
But my mind is still alive'.

REFLECTION

Moi je suis la voix de l'eau de la
Bulle irisée de l'univers,
Et je me demande qui va vers
La destinée de l'au-delà
Bulle irisée de l'infini.

Indoors
CONFUSION - NOISUFNOC

Misty-eyed and shrouded
We fell learning to the floor
While others called out softly
I can't go anymore.

Stumbling in illusion
And with no-one there to lead
Shifty-eyed and cold inside
We all began to plead.
CONFUSION -

Best Years of Our Lives
Morning will break
When we awake
Oh, I'll thank you for asking
We are passing through
The best years of our lives

Different vices
Overrun me
When I'm down
And I can't get up
Is someone there to pick up the pieces?

We have our lives
And in our eyes
Nothing is wasted
For there's no time
To throw away another day

Finally running
We have the feeling
Nothing will change
Or try to tear us apart
Oh I need you, yes, I need you
I need you in the morning

Different vices
They try to break me
But when I'm up
I just can't get down
And there you are
You have picked up the pieces

Morning has broken
And as we awake
Oh I thank you for saying
Oh I need you, yes, I need you
In the best years of our lives.

Dancing Now
Watch the doorman
As he rubs at his hands
Grimly stamps his feet
Looking down the street.
Tables and bibles
Hookers line the wall
Whisky glasses -
A darkness in the hall.

Let me take you in my arms
And treat you like a child
Women and lovers
Reckless and wild
As you light the way ahead
With the beacon of your smile
Love is in reunion
Now I've understood your style
And we are changing - feels so strange
To be dancing now.

Curiously restless
We looked at the wall
Then at the ceiling
While out in the hall.

There's nothing new
Except what has been forgotten.

Slipping sideways
I can't look down
Heart turns over
While we fool around.

There's nothing new
Except what has been forgotten.

Slipping sideways
I can't look down
Heart turns over
While we fool around.

How could you
When I'm really shining
Rip this heart
In its silver lining.
But I'm Fred Astaire
And I really don't care
I'm dancing now.

Like a Child in Disguise
Think that today
I'll go down by the sea
Think that today -
It was made for me.
Pack myself a lunch
And I will pack myself ahead
All today is Saturday
I'll spend Sunday in bed.
And I'm so glad
That you've decided to come
You won't regret it
As we lunch in the sun.

I'm a loser, but I know how to play the game
Couldn't she see that I'm a child in disguise
Experience makes the child grow wise.

(Here I am stuck in the middle with you)
(You give me rest and no complaints.)

Drawing little boxes
On pieces of paper
Looking out the window
On this rainy day
Head in hands
And with nothing to say
Except - I'm the loser and I know how I played that game

And I think that I lost it
When all I wanted to do
Was touch you
I suppose you didn't think that much of me

Couldn't she see that I'm a child in disguise -
And experience makes the child grow wise.

Off to work tomorrow
Same old week
Still there's always Saturday -
Saturday makes the week.
