Fear

Chain of life slipping away
From the hope of seeing a better day
I feel free from the dark holes of spirit
My lies and faults are separate

In my hand I hold the key
The guide through life to help me
Justify your feelings in time with purpose
When our concerns are all so nervous

Chorus
Is this the feeling that you’re making?
Is this the loving that you’re taking?
I know this whole thing is heart-breaking
For all we know, this is the waking.

The road to nowhere now it leads
To the place of hope where mystery breeds
I’m certain of belief in the world of sorrow
Pain will stay to dissolve tomorrow

Time gone by has made me feel
Time gone by was far too real
I’m saving now for days of rain
Water wash away the pain

I turn off the light and I go to sleep
And I hope that you really ain’t going away tomorrow
To have you by my side with me here for keeps
I’d do anything I’d beg, I’d steal and I’d borrow
I wake up in the morning and I go to work
Driving alone through the cold, here in my car
But I ain’t think clear or straight
‘Cause my mind is with you, with you where you are

Chorus
Why did you leave last night?
You know I hate sleeping alone
Without you it just ain’t right
Without you this house ain’t home
I’d do anything it takes to get it through to you
I don’t ever want to be without you

I push a pen for hours and hours
I wonder when It’s all gonna end
I can try to think things are like before
But I know it’s all just pretend
I go home and I try to tell myself
Try to convince myself I just don’t care
But I’m just fooling myself
Ain’t no chance of working out
I ain’t got a prayer

Taught me how to shout, taught me how to live alone
Then I told I would get by on my own
Never knew your name
In this world without a doubt, I can’t ever do without
Then I told you (I wanted to be alone)
It’s you I blame

Though you said it’s never easy
I know I’m not the only one
In a world ruled by strangers
What will I become?

Chorus
I’m head over heels in love with you
There ain’t a thing that I can do
They say love is blind but I don’t know why
‘Cause I’m still in love with you

You’re full of feeling empty, I know that feelings real
These words of how you feel
(It’s easier than words)
I saw you had nothing to gain
Need to change to ease the pain
It’s easy (To ease the pain)

Lyrics/Music – Nuttall
03/10/1992

The last bus rolls right by my eyes
The stood-up lover breaks down and cries
A drunkard rolls out from the bar
Spent all night reaching for the stars
You can go far but you’ll be brought back to earth
You can sell your broken dreams for what they’re worth

Chorus
In Neon City, you don’t always do what’s right
It ain’t pretty, but it gets you through the night
In Neon City, The pleasure’s gotta outweigh the pain
In Neon City, It’s always the same

Cab can’t get here ‘til over an hour’s time
I got lots to kill but none of it is mine
Police fly by and try to catch a faceless man
A 90’s Butch and Sundance make their last stand
Whatever you want for the right price they’ll give it
You can get anything except to neon city limit

Chorus 2
In Neon City, you do what you can to survive
You don’t play to win, only to stay alive
The stakes get higher, so don’t get caught up in the game
In Neon City, It’s always the same

When today has disappeared
And we’re left with ourselves
Can’t make it real enough
Convinced? Who can tell?

I need to leave in a hurry
I feel like I’m awake
It seems alright why should I worry?
How much more can I take?

Chorus
This is the time
Too soon? Too late!
This is the time do we have to wait?
Making a move, am I too late?
Making a move, do I have to wait?

Tell the truth and I’ll believe
The lies that you once told
Through the crowd I saw you leave
Given our love to hold

I need to know why you pretend
You’re not the one for me
Returned the love that you once sent
Is it too clear for me to see?

Lyrics/Music – Nuttall
11/11/92

I realise you don’t understand
I thought nothing heals like time
The wars are over but the scars still show
I wish that fear would end tonight

There may have been worlds between us
But you’re always here with me
In your arms beside you is where
I want to be

Chorus
If I follow the northern star
I might find out where you are
If I follow the northern star
I might find the way to your heart

I realise for you things are not the same
Inside my head you always will remain
The one I want to be with, your songs I sing
Time and miles (between us) don’t mean a thing

There may have been worlds between us
Between where I was and where you were
I knew I’d find you again somehow
By the light of the northern star

Lyrics – Hunter

14/11/92

Been through some hard times, had our ups and downs
But through it all we’re still around
If I could change I wouldn’t even dare
Nothing matters just as long as you are there

I caused you heart ache I made you cry
I want to be a better man
I swear I’ll try

Chorus
We’ve come full circle yeah we’ve gone and passed right through
It’s back to what it was, It’s back down to me and you
I’ll be strong this time, that’s what I’ll do
Just as long as it comes back down to me and you

Things change but the heart stays the same
When you’re here, I can take any pain
I’m not the man I want to be
But through it all you’re still with me
Whatever our fate, I’ll be with you
It feels good to know you feel the same too

Lyrics – Hunter

Did it happen because of me?
I was blind and what could I see?
Can I help it if you’re not like me?
Is time too late to say,
“Get down on your knees and pray”?
These things are so real, they don’t go away

Our path to truth is locked
The door to life is locked
But the thing that tells me so much is…

Chorus
Pride and loving can destroy
The things that make our lives worth while
Pride can change a man into a boy
I look into your lonely eyes and you smile

When we’re alone with no real voice
Walk into a brightly-lit room
It’s time to make a choice
Staring at the moon

Will it ever return to normal?
Will we ever become immortal?
Can we ever return to normal?

Lyrics/Music – Forbes/Nuttall

12/06/93

I close my eyes again, I’m thinking of you
So much more than I need
No more that I can do

I don’t know where I’m going
All my dreams are in sight
This is as good as it’s gonna get
I’m gonna be lonely tonight

How much more can I try?
Before life comes to an end
If you knew what I really feel
Our broken heats would mend

Darkened image of you
Light up the shadow in my mind
All to lose, nothing to gain
I see though love is blind

Chorus
What a waste, what a life
When love shines through so pure
How bitter the taste that’s never forgotten
For my pain you are the cure

When we lose it all,
Will we rise above?
There, I’ll drown my sorrows
With death by love

Lyrics – Forbes

I don’t like to say I’m a user
Though I’ve been called far worse names
I try to take things seriously
But I just can’t help playing games
I sometimes say the wrong line
“Baby can I see your body naked?”
See what I mean? It happens all the time

Chorus
I always have a good time, good time out of my head
I laugh the most when we are in bed
If you wanna be with me
You’ll get a broken heart before we’ve even begun
All I’ll do is look back and say “at least it’s been fun”

I don’t like to think about future
I find it hard to think that far ahead
Enjoy what you got here and now
‘Cause tomorrow you might be dead
Life is far too short to waste
On that fact you can bet
So you gotta make sure you get your slice
If you don’t it’ll be something you regret

I sometimes wonder what’ll happen
When I’m old in years to come
I guess I’ll look back and say
“Man, it’s been fun!”

Lyrics – Hunter

Why does the tide turn? Why do the books burn?
Why did we fall in love?
Why should our lies turn? How can we ever learn?
Why did we fall in love?

Nothing can change this world around
The world wrapped up in your hands
As feelings flood from me without a sound
They pass quicker than times sands

No I can’t stand it, you cry like a baby
Why did we fall in love?
Our loves undivided, come now and save me
Why did we fall in love?

Love, love, love, love
What do we need to change this world around? (Love)

Where do we go to find ourselves?
What do we say to save us from treason?
All the lies that bring us to our knees
Nothing can save me from rhyming the reason

Love, love, love, love
Can we change? What we need to be sure? (Love)

Lyrics/Music – Nuttall

05/07/94

Light a candle and say a prayer
Bright lights, big city
I’ll meet you there
Play the jukebox all night long
I know this night could last so long

Chorus
Love songs sung with passion
And blues played with pain
Echoes of your laughter
Falling with the rain
We’re good together
When you smile I feel so right
Romance lasts forever
For us tonight

Tonight no one’s lonely
Nobody in this town
You gotta say you’re up when you’re down
Stare down the storm and listen to the wind
The city starts its mag the nights yet to begin

When tonight’s a memory, the bottom line
You can look back
And say you had a good time

Deep down I know another night will never be the same
So, I’ll remember me and you dancing in the midnight rain

Lyrics – Hunter

She’s got it wrong this time
The first time in my life
I took my own advice
Didn't have to think twice

I've felt better inside, but from the thing that I loved best
I think I’ll run away and hide
Now I’ve laid love's ghost to rest

Chorus
It's not easy feeling like I do
It's not easy, I hated loving you
You think we've started but we haven't begun
I don't wanna love you but it's easier said than done

I gave you my love and you gave me your word
No use pretending it's the end of the world
Don't make promises that you can't keep
That's the way of losing me
Playing this game of hide and seek
Trying to find the real me

It's here at last don't have to wait
There’s no way back it's much too late
Everything points to the truth untold
Lies whisper the truth so loud
Though every room stays dark and cold
The only time we have is now

Lyrics – Forbes

I wasn’t looking 4 a love story
I was just looking 4 some fun
Now I think I’m in 2 deep
Don’t know what I’ve begun

When the night comes you lose control
The music makes you do more than just dance
Sometimes you gotta journey to the wild side
We gotta live and take a chance

Chorus
Looking 4 love when you’re lonely
It’s a natural reaction
When things ain’t right you can tell it’s gonna be
A fatal attraction

I guess the best years in life I missed
I’ve been round a time or three
But there’s things I ain’t even heard of
That’s what the girlie showed me

Sometimes it gets way outta hand
You don’t know what you’ve begun
I gotta try and make you understand
I don’t like loving when it’s on the run

Lyrics – Hunter

Listen to me
I have seen you
Looking, learning
That I need you

Never
This time
I can
Need you
Never
This time
I can see you

I cannot see, I cannot move, until you came

Chorus
I cannot hide from you nowhere
Never worry if you hold me for a while
You let me see why I was there
You comfort me and you make me smile

I can see you
Moving closer
Closer to me
I need you

Lyrics – Forbes

4/9/94

I move out of the darkness
I walk under the spotlight
The man you once loved
Didn’t turn out right

You closed your mind
You turned away
You thought you could believe,
There’s only one thing left to believe

In extremis, in extremis

GO NOW!

We’ve gone too far beyond
This time I don’t think it’s fate
The place you’ve taken me from
Made my love turn to hate

Return to darkness
Put out the light
How did I know you’d be leaving?
There’s only one thing left to believe in

Now it’s time for me
To know why you leave
I don’t know how to make it real
Why don’t I believe you?
