Pariah

Recommended Posts

We must play our lives like soldiers in the field

The life is short

I'm running faster all the time

Strength and beauty destined to decay

 

So cut the rose in full bloom

'Til the fearless come and the act is done

 

A love like blood

A love like blood

'Til the fearless come and the act is done

 

A love like blood

A love like blood

 

Everyday through all frustration and despair

 

Love and hate fight with burning hearts

'Til legends live and man is god again

 

And self-preservation rules the day no more

We must dream of promised lands and fields

That's never fade in season

As we move towards no end

We learn to die

Red tears are shed on gray

'Til the fearless come and the act is done

 

'Til the fearless come and the act is done

Eighties - I'm living in the eighties

Eighties - I have to push, I have to struggle

Eighties - get out of my way, I'm not for sale no more

Eighties - let's kamikaze 'til we get there

 

And we sang

You do it this way

 

Eighties - by day we run by night we dance, we do

Eighties - I'm in love with the coming race

Eighties - I've got the best, i'll take all I can get

Eighties - I'm living for the eighties

 

Eighties - I'm living in the eighties - I push

Eighties - I'm living

Eighties - I'm living in the eighties - I struggle

Eighties - I'm living

 

Eighties - I'm living

Eighties - I'm living in the eighties

Eighties - I'm living in the eighties - I push

Eighties - push, push, struggle

 

Eighties - I'm living

Eighties - eighties - I'm living

Eighties - I'm living in the eighties - I push

Eighties - push, push, struggle

A perfect day

Or so I say

From where I'm standing

This roller-coaster ride

Fate will decide the ending

 

Love everlasting

Or lost on the way

 

The smiles and the frowns

The ups and downs

Of fortune turning

The twists and turns

The lessons learned

The bridges burning

 

Nights to remember

And never forget

 

Go, seize the day

Wake up and say

This is an extraordinary life

Enjoy today

Come what may

This is an extraordinary life

 

I gave it all

My cards have fallen

But I'm still alive

And in the end

Believe my friend

I will survive

 

Glory and heartache

And some of the joy

 

Go, seize the day

Wake up and say

This is an extraordinary life

Enjoy today

Come what may

This is an extraordinary life

 

All of the good times

And all of the bad

Responsibility

Is totally mine I know

I rightly stand accused

But I believe

That I can change

Yes I can change my world

 

Go, seize the day

Wake up and say

This is an extraordinary life

Enjoy today

Come what may

This is an extraordinary life

5:15 A.M.

Snow laying all around

A collier cycles home

From his night shift underground

Past the silent pub

Primary school, workingmen's club

On the road from the pithead

The churchyard packed

With mining dead

 

Then beneath the bridge

He comes to a giant car

A shroud of snow upon the roof

A mark ten Jaguar

He thought the man was fast asleep

Silent, still and deep

Both dead and cold

Shot through

With bullet holes

 

The one armed bandit man

Came north to fill his boots

Came up from Cockneyland

E-type jags and flashy suits

Put your money in

Pull the levers, watch 'em spin

Cash cows in all the pubs

But he preferred the new nightclubs

 

Nineteen sixty-seven

Bandit man in birdcage heaven

La dolce vita, sixty-nine

All new to people of the Tyne

 

Who knows who did what

Somebody made a call

They said his hands were in the pot

That he'd been skimming hauls

He picks up the swag

They gaily gave away

Drives his giant Jag

Off to his big pay day

 

The bandit man

Came north to fill his boots

Came up from Cockneyland

E-type jags and flashy suits

The bandit man

Came up the great north road

Up to Geordieland

To mine the mother lode

 

Seams blew up or cracked

Black diamonds came hard won

Generations toiled and hacked

For a pittance and black lung

Crushed by tub or stone

Together and alone

How the young and old

Paid the price of coal

 

Eighteen sixty-seven

My angel's gone to heaven

He'll be happy there

Sunlight and sweet clean air

 

They gather round the glass

Tough hewers and crutters

Child trappers and putters

The little foals and half-marrows

Who pushed and pulled the barrows

The hod boys and the rolleywaymen

5:15 A.M.

Woke up this morning my house was cold
Checked out the furnace she wasn't burnin'
Went out and hoped in my old Ford
Hit the engine but she ain't turnin'
We've given each other some hard lessons lately
But we ain't learnin'
We're the same sad story that's a fact
One step up and two steps back

Bird on a wire outside my motel room
But he ain't singin'
Girl in white outside a church in June
But the church bells they ain't ringing
I'm sittin' here in this bar tonight
But all I'm thinkin' is
I'm the same old story same old act
One step up and two steps back

It's the same thing night on night
Who's wrong baby who's right
Another fight and I slam the door on
Another battle in our dirty little war
When I look at myself I don't see
The man I wanted to be
Somewhere along the line I slipped off track
I'm caught movin' one step up and two steps back

There's a girl across the bar
I get the message she's sendin'
Mmm she ain't lookin' to married
And me well honey I'm pretending
Last night I dreamed I held you in my arms
The music was never-ending
We danced as the evening sky faded to black
One step up and two steps back

Wild kind of look to the day
Opening eyes impale neon flickers
She moon, she turning away
The city's her slave but he's cheating his mistress

She's moody and grey
She's mean and she's restless
So restless, so restless indeed

All over you as they say
Rumours or rivals yell at the strike force
Hi guys, by the way
Are you aware you're being illegal?

It's making your savior behaviour look evil
'Scuse my timing but say
How'd you fit in with this flim, flam and judy

Maximum big surprise
Your smile is something new

I pull my shirt off and pray
We're sacred and bound to suffer the heatwave
Pull my shirt off and pray
We're coming up on re-election day

Stretching my love down the way
To your invitation stretching my body
Use your intuitive play
'Cause maybe we have more play time than money

Maximum big surprise
She knows something new

I pull my shirt off and pray
I'm saving myself to suffer the heatwave
Pull my shirt off and pray
We're coming up on re-election day

By roads and backways a lover's chance down wind
Cut open murmurs and sounds be calm hands on skin
Carry further, entangled strands all sing
I'm saving some time to slip away
We could dance

Shouldn't be asking, wild and scheming
Could be my election day

Maximum big surprise
You know something new

I pull my shirt off and pray
We're sacred and bound to suffer this heatwave
Pull my shirt off and pray
We're coming up on re-election day

Re-election day

I had chums in the Wall Street Crash

Who made a hash of their savings

and burned their mothers for cash

They were bums in a flash.

I've known Monkey's who were doing Okay

Who met Flunkies who would blow you away

They were Junkies in less then a day.

There are pushers and hoodlums of great dedication

Who without hesitation supply medication

One Minute your a looker who looked

The Next you're a Hooker who's hooked

 

Long before the Great Big Bang

There was Evil in the Void

Long before the first bird sang

Evil was enjoyed

 

Long before the dawn of man

there was born an evil plan

Believe me when I say that

There is no other side of Midnight

 

Hold on, sit tight

You never ever did right

Roll on Midnight

You're spoiling for a big fight

Mr. Evil Midnight

 

Long before the sands of time

There was evil doing well

Long before the birth of crime

There was evil building Hell

 

Long before the age of reason

Evil waged unholy treason

Believe me that no Mother

Ever cried for Midnight

 

He's a creature of a thousand disguises

 

But the man behind the mask

Remains the same

 

If you think you know who he really is

You're in for some surprises

Is he Stalin?

Is he Hitler?

Or really just a common man?

 

Long before the crack of doom

There was evil in the air

Long before we left the womb

There was Evil Everywhere

 

Long before the truth was found

Evil used to cruise around

Believe me, it's a one way

Ride for Midnight

 

Hold on, sit tight

You ever never did right

Roll on Midnight

You're spoiling for a big fight

Mr. Evil Midnight

 

I'm going to keep my grip tight

 

You're going to get a big fight

Mr. Evil Midnight

 

Mr. Evil Midnight

Who is the one true friend of America?

Friend of her people from farmer to senator

Keeping America safe from the predator

So that the weak and the meek shall inherit her

Who in the fight for our rights wins them all

Wielding Justice from above

Who stands for me and for you and for principle

Captain Invicible, that's who!

I'm Popeye the sailor man. I'm Popeye the sailor man.

I'm strong to the finich, cause I eats me spinach.

I'm Popeye the sailor man.

 

I'm one tough gazookus, which hates all palookas.

Wot ain't on the up and square.

I biffs 'em and buffs 'em and always out roughs 'em

But none of 'em gets nowhere.

 

If anyone dares to risk my "fisk", it's "boff" an' it's "wham" un'erstan'?

So keep "good be-hav-or", that's your one life saver

With popeye the sailor man.

 

I'm Popeye the sailor man, I'm Popeye the sailor man.

I'm strong to the finich, cause I eats me spinach.

I'm Popeye the sailor man.

Look at what's happened to me

I can't believe it myself

Suddenly I'm up on top of the world

It should have been somebody else

 

Believe it or not, I'm walkin' on air

I never thought I could feel so free

Flyin' away on a wing and a prayer

Who could it be?

Believe it or not it's just me

 

Just like the light of a new day

It hit me from out of the blue

Breaking me out of the spell I was in

Making all of my wishes come true

 

Believe it or not, I'm walkin' on air

I never thought I could feel so free

Flyin' away on a wing and a prayer

Who could it be?

Believe it or not it's just me

 

This is too good to be true

Look at me falling for you

Believe it or not, I'm walkin' on air

I never thought I could feel so free

Flyin' away on a wing and a prayer

Who could it be?

Believe it or not it's just me

 

Believe it or not, I'm walkin' on air

I never thought I could feel so free

Flyin' away on a wing and a prayer

Who could it be?

Believe it or not it's just me

 

Believe it or not, I'm walkin' on air

I never thought I could feel so free

Flyin' away on a wing and a prayer

Who could it be?

Believe it or not it's just me

I am Jeremiah Dixon

I am a Geordie boy

A glass of wine with you, sir

And the ladies I'll enjoy

All Durham and Northumberland

Is measured up by my own hand

It was my fate from birth

To make my mark upon the earth...

 

He calls me Charlie Mason

A stargazer am I

It seems that I was born

To chart the evening sky

They'd cut me out for baking bread

But I had other dreams instead

This baker's boy from the west country

Would join the Royal Society...

 

We are sailing to Philadelphia

A world away from the coaly Tyne

Sailing to Philadelphia

To draw the lline

The Mason-Dixon Line

 

Now you're a good surveyor, Dixon

But I swear you'll make me mad

The West will kill us both

You gullible Geordie lad

You talk of liberty

How can America be free

A Geordie and a baker's boy

In the forests of the Iroquois...

 

Now hold your head up, Mason

See America lies there

The morning tide has raised

The capes of Delaware

Come up and feel the sun

A new morning has begun

Another day will make it clear

Why your stars should guide us here...

 

We are sailing to Philadelphia

A world away from the coaly Tyne

Sailing to Philadelphia

To draw the line

The Mason-Dixon Line

The Mason-Dixon Line

Here we stand or here we fall
History won't care at all
Make the bed, light the light
Lady Mercy won't be home tonight.

You don't waste no time at all
Don't hear the bell but you answer the call
It comes to you as to us all
We're just waiting for the hammer to fall

Oh every night, and every day
A little piece of you is falling away
But lift your face the Western Way
Build your muscles as your body decays.

Tow the line and play their game
Let the anaesthetic cover it all
Till one day they call your name
You know it's time for the hammer to fall.

Rich or poor or famous for
Your truth it's all the same
(Oh no! Oh no!)
Lock your door but rain is pouring
Through your window pane
(Oh no!)
Baby, now your struggle's all vain.

For we who grew up tall and proud
In the shadow of the Mushroom Cloud
Convinced our voices can't be heard
We just wanna scream it louder and louder and louder

What the hell are we fighting for?
Just surrender and it won't hurt at all
You just got time to say your prayers
While you're waiting for the hammer to—hammer to fall.

Yeah! Yes.
Let's get on the floor!
Yeah! Hammer!
You know
Hammer to fall!

Yeah!

I've been waiting for the hammer to fall!
While you're waiting for the hammer to fall.

Give it to me one more time!

Standing there alone

the ship is waiting

all systems are go

are you sure?

control is not convinced

but the computer

has the evidence

"no need to abort"

the countdown starts

 

watching in a trance

the crew is certain

nothing left to chance

all is working

trying to relax

up in the capsule

"send me up a drink"

jokes Major Tom

the count goes on

 

4 3 2 1

Earth below us

drifting falling

floating weightless

calling calling home...

 

second stage is cut

we're now in orbit

stabilizers up

runnning perfect

starting to collect

requested data

what will it effect

when all is done

thinks Major Tom

 

back at ground control

there is a problem

go to rockets full

not responding

"hello Major Tom

are you receiving

turn the thrusters on

we're standing by"

there's no reply

 

4 3 2 1

Earth below us

drifting falling

floating weightless

calling calling home...

 

across the stratosphere

a final message

"give my wife my love"

then nothing more

 

far beneath the ship

the world is mourning

they don't realize

he's alive

no one understands

but Major Tom sees

now the life commands

this is my home

I'm coming home

 

Earth below us

drifting falling

floating weightless

coming home...

Earth below us

drifting falling

floating weightless

coming home...

Earth below us

drifting falling

floating weightless

coming coming home...

home.....

He said "I'll love you till I die", she told him "You'll forget in time"

As the years went slowly by, she still preyed upon his mind

 

He kept her picture on his wall, went half-crazy now and then

He still loved her through it all, hoping she'd come back again

 

Kept some letters by his bed dated nineteen sixty-two

He had underlined in red every single "I love you"

 

I went to see him just today, oh but I didn't see no tears

All dressed up to go away, first time I'd seen him smile in years

 

He stopped loving her today

They placed a wreath upon his door

And soon they'll carry him away

He stopped loving her today

 

You know, she came to see him one last time,

Aww, 'n' we all wondered if she would

And it kept runnin' through my mind, this time he's over her for good

 

He stopped loving her today

They placed a wreath upon his door

And soon they'll carry him away

He stopped loving her today

Once, we did run

How we chased a million stars

and touched as only one can

 

Once, we did play

How the past delivered you

Amidst our youth we'd dream away, away

 

As if I knew the words I'm sure you'll hear

Of how we met as you recall so well

 

Once, we did love

Long ago how did I forget

Holding you so closely

 

Look, how I move

Chance would have me glance at you

To know how you move me, me

 

All barriers fall around us as we hear

Of memories known and matters long ago, so clear

 

[interlude]

 

Once, we did run

How we chased a million stars

And touched as only one can

Looks like it's over, you knew I couldn't stay
She's comin' home today
We had a good thing, I'll miss your sweet love
Why must you look at me that way
It's over

Sad eyes, turn the other way
I don't wanna see you cry
Sad eyes, you knew there'd come a day
When we would have to say 'goodbye'

Try to remember the magic that we shared
In time your broken heart will mend
I never used you, you knew I really cared
I hate to see it have to end
But it's over

Sad eyes, turn the other way
I don't wanna see you cry
Sad eyes, you knew there'd come a day
When we would have to say 'goodbye'

[instrumental Interlude]

Sad eyes, you knew there'd come a day
When we would have to say 'goodbye'
Sad eyes, turn the other way (turn the other way)
I don't wanna see you cry (cry, cry, cry)
Sad eyes, you knew there'd come a day (he-e-e-ey)
When we would have to say 'goodbye'
Sad eyes

Have you heard about the lonesome loser
Beaten by the queen of hearts every time
Have you heard about the lonesome loser
He's a loser, but he still keeps on tryin'

Oooooooh-hooooooo-hooooooo
Oooooooh-ooooooh-hoooooooo

Sit down, take a look at yourself
Don't you want to be somebody
Someday somebody's gonna see inside
You have to face up, you can't run and hide

Have you heard about the lonesome loser
Beaten by the queen of hearts every time
Have you heard about the lonesome loser
He's a loser, but he still keeps on tryin'

Unlucky in love
Least that's what they say
He lost his head
And he gambled his heart away
He still keeps searching
Though there's nothing left
Staked his heart and lost
Now he has to pay the cost

Have you heard about the lonesome loser
Beaten by the queen of hearts every time
Have you heard about the lonesome loser
He's a loser, but he still keeps on tryin'

"It's okay", he smiles and says
Though this loneliness is driving him crazy
He don't show what goes on in his head
But if you watch very close you'll see it all

Sit down, take a look at yourself
Don't you want to be somebody
Someday somebody's gonna see inside
You have to face up, you can't run and hide

Have you heard about the lonesome loser
Beaten by the queen of hearts every time
Have you heard about the lonesome loser
He's a loser, but he still keeps on tryin'

Have you heard about the lonesome loser

Have you heard about the lonesome loser

Have you heard about the lonesome loser

Now tell me have you heard about the lonesome loser

Both sides are fightin'
You don't know who to choose
You're stuck in the middle
And you can't lose
Both sides are talkin'
You've finally seen the light
You'll get it together
But not tonight

You were born with it
And now you got it
The way you want it
And you don't care
Cause nothin's gonna bring you down

You were born with it
And now you got it
And oooh you flaunt it
And you don't care
Cause nothin's gonna bring you down,
No...

But she's not that kind of girl
I'm tellin' all the world
She was born the Queen of the Broken Hearts

She says she'll write you letters
But that ain't face to face
She'll give you a number
But it's not her place...oh
Don't keep her waiting
Now see what you have done
You look in the mirror
It ain't no fun

You were born with it
And now you got it
The way you want it
And you don't care
Cause nothin's gonna bring you down,
No...

You were born with it
And now you got it
And oooh you flaunt it
And you don't care
Cause nothin's gonna bring you down,
No...

But she's not that kind of girl
I'm tellin' all the world
She was born the Queen of the Broken Hearts

Cause she's not that kind of girl
I'm tellin' all the world
She was born the Queen of the Broken Hearts

Cause she's not that kind of girl
I'm tellin' all the world
She was born the Queen of the Broken Hearts
She was born the Queen of the Broken Hearts
She was born the Queen of the Broken Hearts

Yeah, yeah, yeah...

Look around you, look up here
Take time to make time
Make time to be there
Look around, be a part
Feel for the winter
But don't have a cold heart

And I love you best
You're not like the rest
You're there when I need you
You're there when I need
I'm gonna need you

A long time ago
I had a lady to love
She made me think of things
I never thought of
Now she's gone and I'm on my own
A love song has come into my mind
A love song
It was there all the time

So lady
Let me take a look at you now
You're there on the dance floor
Making me want you somehow
Oh lady
I think it's only fair
I should say to you
Don't be thinkin' that I don't want you
'Cause maybe I do

Look around, come to me
I have no answers
But know where I wanna be
I look around, play a part
I was born in the winter
And cooled by a warm heart

And I love you best
You're not like the rest
You're there when I need you
You're there when I need
I'm gonna need you

So lady
Let me take a look at you now
You're there on the dance floor
Making me want you somehow
Oh lady
I think it's only fair I should say to you
Don't be thinkin' that I don't want you
'Cause maybe I do
Don't be thinkin' that I don't want you
Lady I do

It was late in December
The sky turned to snow
All round the day was going down slow
Night like a river beginning to flow
I felt the beat of my mind
Go drifting into time passages
Years go falling in the fading light
Time passages
Buy me a ticket on the last train home tonight

Well, I'm not the kind to live in the past
The years run too short and the days too fast
The things you lean on
Are the things that don't last
Well, it's just now
And then my line gets cast into these
Time passages
There's something back here that you left behind
Oh, time passages
Buy me a ticket on the last train home tonight

Hear the echoes and feel yourself starting to turn
Don't know why you should feel
That there's something to learn
It's just a game that you play

Well, the picture is changing
Now you're part of a crowd
They're laughing at something
And the music's loud
A gal comes towards you
You once used to know
You reach out your hand
But you're all alone
In these time passages
I know you're in there
You're just out of sight
Oh, time passages
Buy me a ticket on the last train home tonight
