I feel it coming on strong, I noticed that the other day When I looked and I saw it was gone, but I couldn’t help it anyway Was just like when we were young, didn’t feel like carryin’ on But you make me open my eyes when I hear the words we used to say It takes a while to pass away It takes a while, I don’t like this feeling Now my feet are walking again, all the faces that we used to see And the things we used to pretend are not really what they seemed to be The End of an Era now, and I’m feelin’ somethin’ so real is With me now, I’m old enough to know It makes you believe its luck, what I want is only to see you With me now, I’m old enough to know I feel my life is slippin’ away, and the walls are closing in on me Now my mind is racin’ again with the thoughts of how it could have been The End of an Era now, and I’m feelin’ somethin’ so real is Leaving now, I’m old enough to know It makes you believe its luck, what I want is only to feel it sometimes….. The End of an Era now, and I’m feelin’ somethin’ so real is Leaving now, I’m old enough to know It makes you believe its luck, what I want is only to see you With me now, I’m old enough you know The End of an Era now Come on aren’t you feelin’ somethin’?

MR LANE Mr Lane, Be careful what you say Your cellophane skin, can’t keep the pieces in You count to 10, then count to 10 again….. Only for the fun But when he opens wide You can see the troubled soul inside…….soul inside….. The things you’ve said, he keeps them in his head His telescope eyes, can see for miles and miles and miles and miles….. But in his mind and dreams, his grass is always greener And he is always clean away…….. When Mr Lane is there, the children stop and stare With flowers in his hair and bubblegum for his tea Mr Lane, Don’t let them in your brain They steal inside, knowing your hands are tied They’ve taken what they need……. But when his in is out You can tell what everything is all …… all about… Everything is …all …. All about Mr Lane……Mr Lane……

BEAUTY & SADNESS Like a willow weeps…..the tears it cries aint real There’s a Beauty in its Sadness As a fire dies…..consuming its own life There’s a Beauty in its Sadness A Beauty in your Sadness…. I need your Beauty and your Sadness Your Beauty and your Sadness The more it draws me near, awakening my fears I need your Beauty and your Sadness Like a roadside grave…. Flowered every day There’s a Beauty in its Sadness As the flowers die…..they feed whats left behind There’s a Beauty in its Sadness A Beauty in your Sadness I need your Beauty and your Sadness Your Beauty and your Sadness The more it draws me near, awakening my fears I need your Beauty and your Sadness I need it, I need it, I need it And so do you……

POINTED AT THE GIN PALACE Their eyes pointed at me, somethin’ that they don’t want to see They try to alienate me from their minds confusion Loud colours say what I feel Makes them sick…… Surrounded by what I could have been Surrounded by what I could have been With every fraction of time, every consuming moment I feel their envy grow like a disfigured mirror of their own self worth With every fraction of time….. Surrounded by what I could have been This dark canvas covers me Surrounded by what I could have been Surrounded by what I could have…… Held down by what we build is real A faith we hold in materials Our possessions knock down progression What they see is more…….is more important than……than what we can feel Surrounded by what I could have been This dark canvas covers me Surrounded by what I could have been I’m something they don’t want to see ……. (Where they live, where they breath, where they get off…..) Surrounded by what I could have been……….

HEARTBREAKER You are a timebomb hear you tick Your mirror image makes you sick The flower you hold so delicately ….. Heartbreaker Has a beauty that only you can’t see….. Heartbreaker Risk Taker, Play Maker You raise the stakes holding the Aces Deal Breaker, Dream Maker You know you’re just a Heartbreaker The thing you are is a thing you hate You’ll do what it takes to make it to the next day The clothes you wear like the friends you keep……. Heartbreaker And your face is a changin’ as the need Risk Taker, Play Maker You raise the stakes holding the Aces Deal Breaker, Dream Maker You know you’re just a Heartbreaker Heartbreaker, Heartbreaker, Heartbreaker, Risk Taker…… Heartbreaker………
