Wonderworld

We freely speak of dreams
We marvel at what they conceal
But in my wonderworld
Each sleeping vision is so real
So I believe and hope
That all the things I see
May one day bring
Such truth and peace
As we can feel

Free from this waking world
Deep in sleep's mystery
My will is free to wander
Free to wander carelessly
At times it's not so far
From what we call reality
And at times I know I wonder
If it all could come true

Oh, Mr. Wonderworld
Don't be afraid
'Cause dreams were made
Were made to dim the light
The torment day can bring
And leave you free
To laugh aloud and hear
Your heart bells ring
Oh, oh, Mr. Wonderworld
Wonderworld

Oh, Mr. Wonderworld
Don't be afraid
'Cause your dreams were made
They were made to dim the light
The torment day can bring
And leave you free
To laugh aloud and hear
Your heart bells ring
Oh, oh, Mr. Wonderworld
Mr. Wonderworld
Mr. Wonderworld

Suicidal Man

Waiting by the window
Staring at my shadow
Not believing what I'd seen
Touching but not feeling
And wondering what I was dealing
And not knowing where I'd been

So I began walking
To myself I was talking
But didn't know which way to go
Then I found a direction
And now I needed some action
But I should have just said no
Should have said no

Why won't you help me
Or give me hand
'Cause I'm close to becoming
A suicidal man
What I need is someone
With a definite plan
For I've waited for just about
As long as I can

Suicidal man, suicidal...

So on my travels
Still with all my troubles
I found someone who cared
The answer was so easy
That all she did to please me
Was to say a problems smaller
When it's shared

He was a suicidal man...

The Shadows and the Wind

Oh, they're moving in again
Hidden by the shadows
And the wind
But we'll just wait awhile and then
We'll show 'em all that
This time we ain't giving in

Without a care they
Sweep aside our dreams
To try and make way for their own
No more should we surrender
To their schemes
It's time to stand and
Show 'em we are not alone

Time has changed us all
We have our minds
Life has taught us
We all have our love
And it's time to use it, use it

Nature gave us colour
Day and night
So if you really got a reason
Then you better be right
The seasons of the year
Still are spring and fall
But there's nothing in the world
That's says it's right to fight

Time has changed us all
We have our minds
Life has taught us
We all have our love
Why don't we use it
Come on and use it
Why don't we use it
Come on and use it

La la la la la ...

So Tired

SO TIRED

Well, I've been on the road
For a year or more
And I've done a lot of things
I never did before
Now I want everyone
To listen to my song
And you can tell me
When you've heard it
If you think I'm wrong

'Cause I'm so tired
Of everybody staring at me
Yes, I'm so tired
And I'm so uninspired
Please help me

Well I've seen 'em rise
And I've seen 'em fall
And I use to think that
I was having a ball
But I was kiddin' myself
For a long long time
But now I got myself a spoon
And I'm feeling fine

But I'm so tired
Of everybody staring at me
Yes, I'm so tired
And I'm so uninspired
Won't you please help me

Where can you go
Where can you go
When there is no one
To show a guiding light
What did you say
What did you say
Have you been thinking about me
Day and night

'Cause I'm so tired
Of everybody staring at me
And I'm so, so tired
I'm so uninspired
Please help me
Won't you please me ...

The Easy Road

If you're looking for a place
You can fly together
And you're really afraid of
What you're leaving behind
Take the easiest road
But take care my brother
For you'll never find peace
With a troubled mind

Far better to love each other
Than to worry so deeply
'Bout the place you're in
And far better to kiss her softly
Than lookin' back on a love
You'll never have again

Time's as fickle as
The sky in winter
And two hearts always
Were better than one
Love has the wings
Of a tireless angel
She'll stay beside you
Till the day is done

La la la la la ...

You'll never have again
No no no, never again
You'll never have again

Something or Nothing

There's never a day
When I've got nothing to do
Something to me
Might mean nothing to you

So don't don't don't don't
Look at me strangely now
We'll find the line
That's in the middle and run

Something, something or nothing

You say you love to spend days
But I will save mine
Waiting for the sun in your eyes
To turn the river to wine

But don't don't don't don't
Look at me strangely now
We're gonna find the line
That's in the middle and run

I Won't Mind

I don't mind
If you steal my last dime
Just leave me anytime
And I'll get, get along fine
I don't really know why
But I know I'll get by
If I don't I'll die tryin'

If it rains again
I'm gonna fly to the sun
'Cause nothing gets done
Just sitting, sitting around
Look at the way it's been
Just waitin' and wonderin'
I've just got to keep trying

Looking for gold in the sky
Gets kinda rough
Maybe I'm to blame
'Cause I didin't look hard enough
But I still get the feeling
That it shouldn't be so tough

So I won't mind, I, I won't mind
I won't mind, I, I  won't mind

So I won't mind
I, No, I  won't mind
I won't mind, I, said I won't mind

We Got We

I got you, you got me
We are where we belong

Safe places, warm faces
All have been gone too long

Sky writing, inviting
Disappears admist the clouds

False promise, the last cold kiss
All seem so distant now

Just with each other
We are all so well armed
And with a little care we need
Never be harmed

We've got we, and there's love
Before our eyes

We can have it and hold it
If we realize

Just with each other
We are, we are so well armed
And with a little care we need
Never, no never be harmed

La la la...

Dreams

You should have seen
Tuesday's dream
Dancing in my head
For you'd have heard
A thousand words
That nobody had said
And you'd have
Watched me try to run
Where dreams have
Never strayed
Heard my cries because
I know I really was afraid

Dreams, dreams
I'll never keep
My body rests
But my eyes refuse to sleep
Sights and sounds
My mind created
Far beyond the thoughts
Of which we speak

And then we danced
On silver wings
Upon a gilded thread
I heard the song the angel sings
To bless my lowered head
And at the door of paradise
My best laid plan begun
But as I turned to reach for you
My coloured night, it was gone

What Can I Do [b-side single]

I wish you'd stop and
Give a helping hand
For I guess I'm only half a man
I feel the only way for me to leave
Is just to give you
Everything I can give

'Cause without you, without you
What can I do

I will give you all the love I have
Just to know you stop me
Being so sad
I hope you won't think
So badly of me
'Cause I had to tell you
This could break myself in

Being helpless is a habit of mine
No one else can understand
You are the one to
Help me to survive
If you're any friend of mine

Yesterday you gave a helping hand
To some one you'll
Never understand
Though I tried to tell you of this way
You said I had nothing
Constructive to say

But without you, without you
What can I do...
