IN CIRCLES
Where were you when the word went out
The spaceship landed
Everyone got high
Where were you in the second summer of love
The chemical age
Everyone got wasted
I revolve around the sun
I'm high on life, I'm overcome
Nothing else matters
Everything counts
In the here and the now
In these moments as we speak
As I live and I breathe
In circles I repeat
In circles
Where were you when the stars went out
The sun went down
Everyone stayed in
Where were you when they burnt the flags
The shit hit the fan
Everyone said "man"
I revolve around the sun
I'm high on life, I'm overcome
Nothing else matters
Everything counts
In the here and the now
In these moments as we speak
As I live and I breathe
In circles I repeat
In circles
When tomorrow come today
Today will be like yesterday
In circles I repeat
In circles

TRANSCENDENTAL
All I have to give to you is everything you see
All I am and all I have been, all I'll ever be
All I have to say to you is everything you hear
All my hopes and all my dreams no secrets will I keep
I would paint the sky a purple shade
Dye the blue sea black
Spray the clouds in tangerine
Make the trees electric blue for you
All for you
Love over me, over you, over all
Transcendental
Love
All I have to offer you is everything in me
By the blood that rushes through my veins whenever you
are near
I would make the roads vermillion
The red lights indigo
Turn the sunrise fluorescent green
Give ultra violet flowers all to you
All to you
Love over me, over you, over all
Transcendental
Love

RISE
Collapsed empires like broken tiles
Snow on the ground, a winters sky
I open the door and the world floats by
Pavements, streets and yesterdays news
Tomorrows hurting in todays blues
My realities are these tender rules
Every high and low
Every near and far
Goodbye, Hello
Everybody
Come together
Come together
Come together now
Put your loneliness in mine and RISE
No major headlines, no big news day
Just the wheels turning forwards & backwards
Day after day, as the blue skies fade
Every high and low
Every near and far
Goodbye, Hello
Everybody
Come together
Come together
Come together now
Put your loneliness in mine and RISE
Put your arms around me
Everything's alright
You and I
Together we will RISE

You Are To Me
Has anybody noticed the sun is shining from a different
sky
The winds have slowly shifted blowing through the shadows
of my eyes
You are the different light bleeding from the sky, you
penetrate my mind
In silence and in sound, above and underground, within me
and without
You are an unnamed star, radiating from afar
You are the air I'm breathing, you're my freedom, my
release
YOU ARE TO ME
So free, you are everything there is to me
So free, you are everything there is
Everything that's ever been YOU ARE TO ME
Has anybody noticed the river flowing inward from the sea
The tide has been corrupted, waves are crashing backwards
on the beach
In red and blue and green, a technicolour scream, from
deep inside my dream
In silence and in sound, above and underground, within me
and without
You are an unnamed star, radiating from afar
You are the air I'm breathing, you're my freedom, my
release
YOU ARE TO ME
So free, you are everything there is to me
So free, you are everything there is
Everything that's ever been YOU ARE TO ME

MY CALLING
The stars are shining down on me
The sun sinks slow into the sea
The wind that moves remains unseen
The light that makes the shadows speak
Above the sky that shelters me
With oxygen with rain with heat
One is of the universe, the universe goes on forever
Spiritual regeneration every single time we breathe
The key to understanding is within us as it's all around
us
It's the air as it's the light as it's the mother of all
our needs
My calling is you and all that you do
My calling is you
The universal mystery
Of how and why we came to be
I know I'd die without you I believe
One is of eternity, eternity goes on forever
Spiritual regeneration every single time we breathe
The key to understanding is within us as it's all around
us
It's the air as it's the light as it's the mother of all
our needs
My calling is you and all that you do
My calling is you
I am of the sky I am of the earth
I am of the mind and the universe
Love is of eternity, eternity is love
Spiritual regeneration
Love goes on forever
My calling is you and all that you do
My calling is you

FIRST LIGHT
Today I saw it all, a magpie sat upon a horse
I crawled past a car stopped engine dead
The petrol fumes they filled my head with dreams
Of all eternity, beyond reality
Formed upon the earth
To fly above the sky out into the universe
Haven't you heard
The first light is in your eyes and in your breathing
Sunset sunrise, day and night, today and yesterday
In your eyes I see the FIRST LIGHT
Today I saw a birth, a rainbow formed upon the dirt
I heard her multicoloured tears
Kaleidoscopic audio filled my dreams
With all eternity, beyond reality
Formed upon the earth
To fly above the sky out into the universe
Haven't you heard
The first light is in your eyes and in your breathing
Sunset sunrise, day and night, today and yesterday
In your eyes I see the FIRST LIGHT
The first light, the second wave
the third tomorrow, the fourth today
the fifth dimension, the sixth sense, the seventh heaven
In your eyes I see the FIRST LIGHT

HIGH ON THE HILL
I'm looking down upon the world with blood shot weary
eyes
It's four o'clock in the morning and the sun's about to
rise
I feel a little displacement a little disharmony
Somebody's in trouble tonight or is it, trouble tomorrow?
High on the hill looking down on creation
Dogs howl in the shouting distant, metallic, silver grey
streets
In the half light, half remembered thoughts beyond my
reach
The sky forms an uneasy truce between the sun and moon
A clock strikes at a quarter past or is it a quarter to?
High on the hill looking down on creation
I can't explain with 20/20 vision
Hallucination or morbid fascination?
High on the hill looking down on creation

GROUND ZERO
Kill, kill the lights
I can't bare to see you cry
Are those tears on the ruins
Or petrol on the fire?
I was looking for a way out
All I found was a way back in
I've gone to ground zero
GROUND ZERO
with the losers, creeps and the assholes
I've gone to ground zero
GROUND ZERO
With my asphyxiated ego
I killed the golden cow
I was resuscitated for my sins
My crime was captured
On C.C.T.V.
I got back out the same way
That I got back in
I've gone to ground zero, GROUND ZERO
with the losers, creeps and the assholes
I've gone to ground zero, GROUND ZERO
With my asphyxiated ego
I've gone to ground zero, GROUND ZERO
Where the sound system plays death disco
You say your mantras for the west
I say mine to save myself
I set about the systematic destruction
Of the world I built up
I set about the sytematic destruction
The deconstruction
>From new emotion, a new reaction
A new location, a new vocation
>From new destruction comes new creation, NEW CREATION
I've gone to ground zero, GROUND ZERO
with the losers, creeps and the assholes
I've gone to ground zero, GROUND ZERO
With my asphyxiated ego
I've gone to ground zero, GROUND ZERO
Where the sound system plays death disco

White Noise
The creeds and the colours are out of control on the
street
And a strange kind of glory exists we are what we eat
a diet of violence and crime feeds are screens every
night
and society mirrors it photocopies it as life
A child grows up without seeing his own fathers eyes
and acts out revenge on his innocent mother at five
and the silent majority are white washed whiter than
white
right now the number one single says "Who do you
think you are?"
White Noise, a blinding light
White Noise, the only sound in the void
White Noise, a deafening sound in the void
I wear an oxyben mask as I ride on the wheels of excess
alcohol is pollution so I can watch without feeling
oppressed
Newspapers are good for scraping the shit from my shoes
Now they breed it, write it, distort it and sell it as
news
White Noise, a blinding light
White Noise, the only sound in the void
White Noise, a waveform that sounds in the void
This poisons a snakebite nobody can suck from my veins
The antidote treated as poison as it reaches my brain
This is shock treatment, shock treatment
I scream but I can't hear my voice
White Noise, a blinding light
White Noise, the only sound in the void
White Noise, a sonic emission in the void

THE WASTING LAND
Force fed a diet of psychobabble
Comedian parodies at my expense
Suppress my anger with a veil of complacency
I drown the sorrows, I count the days
I wish I knew what I knew then
I was so much older, I'm younger now
I am the addiction, the anaesthetic
The apathetic conduit of my own fate
I drink the poison of the working classes down
If life was an ocean I would drown
In THE WASTING LAND
THE WASTING LAND of home
Don't pity me, don't reject me
I built the house, I will smash it down
Erase it from the face of THE WASTING LAND
I was born in a public house
With the sun on the right and the mirror on the left
Taught to say **** in two seperate tongues
With the fire of the dragon and the cross of St. George
I did not make the choice the choice was made for me
If life is so precious why do I waste it?
In THE WASTING LAND
THE WASTING LAND of home
Don't pity me, don't reject me
I built the house, I will smash it down
Erase it from the face of THE WASTING LAND

BURN
OUT SYNDROME
So, it's come right down to this
No right ways or wrong ways are to blame
Sleep, well that is just for children
All my black and white visions fade to grey
I'm fading out again, fading out again
When the dream has gone, It's all over
The fire's gone out, all burnt out
Let it go, Let it go, Let it go
Before it takes control
Let it go, Let it go, Let it go
Before it takes control
Before it takes you over
So, the spirit wages war
between the wanting, the having, the needing no more
My right hand knows not my left hand
I am the author of my own rise and fall
I'm fading out again, fading out again
When the dream has gone, It's all over
The fire's gone out, all burnt out
Let it go, Let it go, Let it go
Before it takes control
Let it go, Let it go, Let it go
Before it takes control
Before it takes you over
I've made something out of nothing
I've made illusions from my own reality
I've made tomorrow from today
I've made myself speak when all I want to do is scream
I'm fading out again, fading out again
When the dream has gone, It's all over
The fire's gone out, all burnt out
Let it go, Let it go, Let it go
Before it takes control
Let it go, Let it go, Let it go
Before it takes control
Before it takes you over
