Fields of Gold
You'll remember me when the west wind moves Upon the fields of barley You'll forget the sun in his jealous sky As we walk in fields of gold So she took her love For to gaze a while Upon the fields of barley In his arms she fell as her hair came down Among the fields of gold Will you stay with me Will you be my love Upon the fields of barley We'll forget the sun in his jealous sky As we lie in fields of gold See the west wind move like a lover so Upon the fields of barley Feel her body rise when you kiss her mouth Among the fields of gold I never made promises lightly And there have been some that l've broken But I swear in the days still left We'll walk in fields of gold We'll walk in fields of gold Many years have passed since those summer days Among the fields of barley See the children run as the sun goes down Among the fields of gold You'll remember me when the west wind moves Upon the fields of barley You can tell the sun in his jealous sky When we walked in fields of gold When we walked in fields of gold When we walked in fields of gold

Seven Days
"Seven days", was all she wrote A kind of ultimatum note She gave to me, she gave to me When I thought the field had cleared It seems another suit appeared To challenge me, woe is me Though I hate to make a choice My options are decreasing mostly rapidly Well, we'll see I don't think she'd bluff this time I really have to make her mine It's plain to see, it's him or me Monday, I could wait 'til Tuesday If I make up my mind Wednesday would be fine Thursday's on my mind Friday'd give me time Saturday could wait But Sunday'd be too late The fact he's over six feet ten Might instill fear in other men But not in me, the mighty flea Ask if I am mouse or man The mirror squeaked, away I ran He'll murder me, in time for his tea Does it bother me at all My rival is Neanderthal It makes me think, "Perhaps I need a drink" IQ is no problem here We won't be playing Scrabble for her hand I fear I need that beer Monday, I could wait 'til Tuesday If I make up my mind Wednesday would be fine Thursday's on my mind Friday'd give me time Saturday could wait But Sunday'd be too late Seven days will quickly go The fact remains, I love her so Seven days, so many ways But I can't run away I can't run away Monday, I could wait 'til Tuesday If I make up my mind Wednesday would be fine Thursday's on my mind Friday'd give me time Saturday could wait But Sunday'd be too late yeah, yeah (Sunday'd be too late) Sunday'd be too late Do I have to tell a story Of a thousand rainy days since we first met It's a big enough umbrella But it's always me that ends up getting wet yeah, yeah Ow

All This Time
I looked out across the river today Saw a city in the fog And an old church tower where the seagulls play Saw the sad shire horses walking home In the sodium light Two priests on a ferry October geese on a cold winter's night All this time The river flowed Endlessly to the sea Two priests came 'round our house tonight One young, one old To offer prayers for the dying, to serve the final rites One to learn, one to teach Which way the cold wind blows And fussing and flapping In priestly black like a murder of crows All this time The river flowed Endlessly to the sea If I had my way I'd take a boat from the river And I'd bury the old man I'd bury him at sea Blessed are the poor For they shall inherit the earth Better to be poor Than be a fat man in the eye of a needle As these words were spoken, I swear Thear the old man laughing What good is a used up world And how could it be worth having All this time The river flowed Endlessly like a silent tear All this time The river flowed Father, if Jesus exists Then how come He never lives here Teachers told us the Romans built this place They built a wall and a temple And an edge of the empire garrison town They lived and they died They prayed to their gods But the stone gods did not make a sound And their empire crumbled till all that was left Were the stones the workmen found All this time The river flowed In the falling light Of a northern sun If I had my way I'd take a boat from the river Men go crazy in congregations They only get better one by one (all this time) One by one One by one, by one One by one I looked out across the river today I saw a city in the fog And an old church tower where the seagulls play Saw the sad shire horses walking home In the sodium light Two priests on the ferry October geese on a cold winter's night

Driven to Tears
How can you say that you're not responsible What does it have to do with me What is my reaction, what should it be Confronted by this latest atrocity Driven to tears Driven to tears Driven to tears Hide my face in my hands Shame wells in my throat My comfortable existence Is reduced to a shallow meaningless party Seems that when some innocent die All we can offer them is a page in a some magazine Too many cameras and not enough food This is what we've seen Driven to tears Driven to tears Driven to tears Woh oh oh Woh oh oh Woh oh oh Woh oh oh Protest is futile Nothing seems to get through What's to become of our world Who knows what to do Driven to tears Driven to tears Driven to tears Driven to tears Driven to tears Driven to tears Driven to tears

Synchronicity II
Ohh, ohh, ohh Ohh, ohh, ohh Ohh, ohh, ohh Ohh, ohh, ohh Another suburban family morning Grandmother screaming at the wall We have to shout above the din of our Rice Krispies We can't hear anything at all Mother chants her litany of boredom and frustration But we know all her suicides are fake Daddy only stares into the distance There’s only so much more that he can take Many miles away Something crawls from the slime At the bottom of a dark Scottish lake Another industrial ugly morning The factory belches filth into the sky He walks unhindered through the picket lines today He doesn't think to wonder why The secretaries pout and preen like cheap tarts in a red light street But all he ever thinks to do is watch And every single meeting with his so called superior Is a humiliating kick in the crotch Many miles away Something crawls to the surface Of a dark Scottish loch Another working day has ended Only the rush hour hell to face Packed like lemmings into shiny metal boxes Contestants in a suicidal race Daddy grips the wheel and stares alone into the distance He knows that something somewhere has to break He sees the family home now looming in his headlights The pain upstairs that makes his eyeballs ache Many miles away There's a shadow on the door Of a cottage on the shore Of a dark Scottish lake Many miles away Many miles away Many miles away Many miles away Many miles away

Fragile
If blood will flow when flesh and steel are one Drying in the colour of the evening sun Tomorrow's rain will wash the stains away But something in our minds will always stay Perhaps this final act was meant To clinch a lifetime's argument That nothing comes from violence and nothing ever could For all those born beneath an angry star Lest we forget how fragile we are
On and on the rain will fall Like tears from a star, like tears from a star On and on the rain will say How fragile we are, how fragile we are
On and on the rain will fall Like tears from a star, like tears from a star On and on the rain will say How fragile we are, how fragile we are How fragile we are, how fragile we are
