1. _ The Time Of Our Lives
Dream on
Sail on the wind of a stormy sea
Wake from the sound of an age
Gone forever?
But it's all right
We'll survive
This is the time of our lives
Out on the streets and boulevards
See the way they run
A future of uncertainty
The word against the gun
Where have they gone?
Who are the ones who will help us all?
We stand or we fall
Open your eyes
We're on the ride
Who will survive?
This is the time
The time of our lives
Dream on
Follow the night
Through a darkened sky
We never wanted to be
Here forever
So we teach our ways
In the name of reality
And constantly we plant
The seeds of hatred in
The children of the world
But it's all right?
Out on the streets and boulevards
See the way they run
A future of uncertainty
The word against the gun.
Where have they gone?
We are the ones who could change it all
Divided we fall
Open your eyes
We're on the ride
Who will survive?
This is the time
The time of our lives

2. _ River Of Dreams
When i was a young man
Money was my hero
Something to believe in
Something to be seen
Now looking at the big lie
Looking back on my life
I'm adding up the zeros
In the book of might have been
When i was a young man
I was someone |
3. _ Back In The Game
Just a picture
Taken back in '65
We were young then
It seems so long ago
Play it one time
Spirit of the '70s
Live forever
Lead me on
Oh those crazy nights
We'd spend our lives
Living in a rock 'n' roll dream
Oh those days are gone
Time moving on
Make me feel that i want to be
Back in the game again
(take me where the music's playing
Where there's no tomorrow
High upon those summer nights
If i could be) back in the game
Vision of the past
Re-awake the heartbeat of
A generation, we thought
The years had lost
Oh those crazy nights
We'd spend our lives
Living in a rock 'n' roll dream
Oh those days are gone
Time moving on
Make me feel that i want to be
Back in the game again
Take me where the music's playing
Where there's no tomorrow
High upon those summer nights if
I could be) back in the game again

4. _ Mr. E
I know that you think i'm the lonely one
Those black clouds always follow me
No silver lining there for you to find
No star-struck prince on bended knee
And every day you're searching hard
For something you can't find
Broken dreams and promises
The feelings you can't hide
You fool yourself there's nothing wrong
'cause truth is on your side
I'll take your truth and give you back a lie
My secret lives in your deceit
Innocence crumbles in the face of your greed
That's why they call me mr. e
And every day you're searching hard
For something you can't find
A hollow-hearted love that pays
With pictures for the blind
My vision is a window to the
Bottom of your soul
This blindness is the way you feel
About yourself and no one else
Let me take you down to the river side
Hold your hand and lead you in
I can take you down to the river side
But only you can swim
I know no magic forest in this part of town
No mystic rainbow's end, no gold for free
The colours lift you up i push you down
That's why they call me mr. e
And every day you're searching hard
For something you can't find
The pomise lies in endless dreams
A nightmare's what you find
My promise is a window to
The bottom of your soul
This nightmare is the way you feel
About yourself and no one else
Let me take you down to the river side
Hold your hand and lead, lead you in.
I can take you down to the river side
But only you can swim
Let me take you down, down to the river side
Hold your hand and lead you in
I can take you down to the river side
But only you can swim

5. _ Yesterday's Heroes
And so the time has come
To fight for right or wrong
There is no-one
To save us from ourselves
Along the travelled road
A story will unfold
Of fantasies
Born in the age of innocence
I can see the rain begin to fall
Watch as the wind blows
Can you hear those voices when they call
Yesterday |
6. _ Three Weeks To Despair
Time now an empty shell
Memories in the broken glass
The daily journey to despair
Where luck's poured out till nothing's left
And she wants to run away
Away from the light
And the rain falls and the night calls
In the shadows we've all passed
Life like an empty book
With pictures that fade and die
Tears in a bottle of dreams
Schemes that never last
He wants to runaway, away from the lies
And the rain falls and the night calls
In the shadows we've all passed
Hope in an empty box
Reality in a paper cup
Empty in a hungry world
Did they fall or did we push?
And they want to run away
Away from the fight
And the rain falls and the night calls
In the shadows we've all passed
Rain falls and the night calls
In the shadows we've all passed
Spoken by the homeless man:
"i start about half eight in the morning, right, i do a bit of begging, like, till about nine at night-time."

7. _ Pool Of Tears
The truth is never easy
And the game of life is hard
It's devil take the loser
When love is hard to find
I'm living in a cold world
And winter's got my heart
I thought it was for ever
Right from the start
Just when i thought that i'd got things right
You turned your back on me
Just when i thought that
I'd worked things out
You said please set me free
Turned your back on me
It wasn't just a good thing
I never would have stayed
You brought me to your altar
And at your feet i prayed
Your beauty i believed in
And no shadow crossed my heart
I thought it was for ever
Right from the start
Just when i thought that i'd got things right
You turned your back on me
Just when i thought that i'd worked things out
You said please set me free
Turned your back on me
Why did i never think the clouds would break
The sky would rain a pool of tears
Now as the mist comes down this voice cries out in fear
Where are you, why are you not here?
Just when i thought that i'd got things right
You turned your back on me
Just when i thought that i'd worked things out
You said please set me free
Just when i thought that i'd got things right
You turned your back on me
Just when i thought that i'd worked things out
You said please set me free and
Turned your back on me
Just turned your back on me

8. _ (took Me) So Long
I've been so lost
Too uncertain
Down the long road
Walked on
Got the feeling
Deep inside me
I've waited so long
The mountain we're climbing
We're reaching so high
We're looking for someone
And wondering why
It's hurting too much
And we're searching so far
Hoping for love
To go on
When the best has gone
I was fallen
And forgotten
Found the answer
On the winds of time
Only heartache
Here tomorrow.
If there is no-one
To open up your life
Took me so long
I know just where i'm going
Took me so long
Know that you're the one
Took me so long
You're lighting up the fire
In my heart
And the mountains we climb
Seem to go higher
Look for someone
And we're wondering why
It's hurting too much
And we're searching so far
Hoping for love
Waited so long
Took me so long
I know just where i'm going
Took me so long
Know that you're the one
Took me so long
You're lighting up the fire
In my heart
If i had to spend my life
With someone else
I would rather be here
On my own
But it's all right
We will live and learn
Long as we have love
We can never be alone
(took me) so long
Know just where i'm going
Took me so long
Know that you're the one
Took me so long
You're lighting up the fire
In my heart

9. _ Children Of The Disappeared
He was born on easy streets
Played so hard his feet they
Never touched the ground
Never felt afraid
Hour after shining hour
No thought of time no parents worrying
Innocent of fear
Now my, my, look at that sky
Closing his eyes on a new tomorrow
Hey, hey, heaven's in tears
Crying for the disappeared
She grew up on easy streets
Danced so hard her feet they
Never touched the ground
Love was all around
No locks on their front door
She'd stay out late and
They'd know she was safe
No need to beware
Now my, my, look at that sky
Closing his eyes on a new tomorrow
Hey, hey, heaven's in tears
Crying for the disappeared
My my look at that sky
Turning his back on a generation
Hey, hey, heaven's in flames
And no one wants to take the blame
Blame for children of the disappeared
Chant:
Bleeding, crying, children, dying
My, my, look at that sky
Turning his back on a new tomorrow
Spoken:
Their life with never be the same
For children who disappear
And parents who live in fear
No more the easy streets
No sound of children's footsteps on the ground
Fear lies all around
No more the unlocked door
No more the children laughing as they play
Nowhere left that's safe
Now my, my, look at that sky
Closing his eyes on a new tomorrow
Hey, hey, heaven's in tears
Crying for the disappeared
My, my, look at that sky
Turning his back on a generation
Hey, hey, heaven's in flames
And no one wants to take the blame
Blame for children of the disappeared

10. _ Do You Believe In Dreams (same Chance For Everyone)
High, low, here we go
Hear the word
That floats upon the air above
Reach up, touch the night
Catch a light
That's falling on the only ones
The only ones
And the way you see your life
A case of "do or die"
Returns us to the way
It used to be before
And the future lies
In the years of sacrifice
You'll open up your eyes
And wake to see it
Standing at your door
Right time turn it on
Touch a heart
That's waiting for the only one
Night time, can't go wrong
Open up and sing the song
For everyone
And the way you see your life
A case of "do or die"
To preserve your sanity
When others lose control
And the years we spent
Heaven blessed or heaven sent
Sang where kings and presidents
Could change the world
Just standing at the wall!
Why, tell me why, don't you know
Do you believe in dreams?
Tell me where did they go?
Why did they leave us?
If you ask me i don't know.
Where did the music go?
After all is said and done
Same chance for everyone
If you ask us we can't say
When did the music go away
After all is said and done
Same chance for everyone
Why, tell me why, don't you know?
Do you believe in dreams?
Tell me where did they go?
Why did they leave us?
