Futuristic landscape
Futuristic skies
No birds or vegetation
Earth remains despised
They scar and they maim and they mutilate
They do it in the name of freedom
Their madness no description can encapsulate
Earth's a floating mausoleum
Silent Running
Silent Running
Silent Running
Silent Running
Believe in Nostradamus
Believe in what you will
Tell me that it had to be
Prophecy fulfilled
I cherish those who perish in the holy war
To save the planet from extinction
So tell me: what will survivors be surviving for
When survival is the one distinction
Silent Running
Silent Running
Silent Running
Silent Running
Futuristic landscape
Futuristic skies
No birds or vegetation
Earth remains despised
They scar and they maim and they mutilate
They do it in the name of freedom
Their madness no description can encapsulate
Earth's a floating mausoleum
Silent Running
Silent Running
Silent Running
Silent Running
LOVE AIN'T TOO FAR AWAY (Andy Davis)
Waiting on a corner
Something you can touch
Hold it for a moment
You'll like it very much
Ooh, there's not a lot you can do
When you're just waiting in line
until she gives you the sign
Love ain't too far away
Love ain't too far away
Dream and you'll be there in a day
'cause love ain't too far away
Searching for the answers
Reading all the signs
Waiting on a corner
Have you got the time?
Ooh, there's not a lot you can say
But you'll be feeling alright
When she gives you the sign
Love ain't too far away
Love ain't too far away
Dream and you'll be there in a day
'cause love ain't too far away
Ooh, there's not a lot you can say
When you're just waiting in line
Until she gives you the sign
Love ain't too far away
Love ain't too far away
Dream and you'll be there in a day
'cause love ain't too far away
Too far away
Too far away
Too far away
Too far away
PERFECT HOSTESS (Andy Davis)
Amaze your friends
Such high and low
Out in the pouring rain
Where freedom runs
And darkness grows
Talk about anything
You're in alone
You'll be the perfect hostess, the modern wife
You and your calming rose, take 'em out at night
Don't ever get excited, let them all believe
You are the perfect hostess (modern wife)
You are the perfect hostess (modern wife)
Amaze your friends
You're lots of fun
Smiling at everyone
Just be yourself
You hold your own
Talk about anything
They're going home
You'll be the perfect hostess, the modern wife
You and your calming rose, take 'em out at night
Don't ever get excited, let them all believe
You are the perfect hostess (modern wife)
You are the perfect hostess (modern wife)
You'll be the perfect hostess, the modern wife
You and your calming rose get them out at night
they never get excited let them all believe
You are the perfect hostess (modern wife)
You are the perfect hostess (modern wife)
You are the perfect hostess (modern wife)
The modern wife (perfect hostess)
DRAWN AND QUARTERED (James Warren)
I was brought up in a faceless town
No education and no name
Always restless, never settled down
Had to learn to live in shame
Through my dreary world you walked one day
Love was in the air
Your face took my breath away
Speechless, helpless, drawn and quartered
I have seen you standing on the street
Looking so good, no one can compete
People tell me that your only friends
But I can't bear it, on you my life depends
It's so hard when your whole past is black
To go back where you were before
You once got me off the beaten track
Now my future's insecure
In my solitude I hear your voice
You are my every dream
No resistance, ain't got no choice
Speechless, helpless, drawn and quartered
I have seen you standing on the street
Looking so good, no one can compete
People tell me that your only friends
But I can't bear it, on you my life depends
Through my dreary world you walked one day
Love was in the air
Your face took my breath away
Speechless, helpless, drawn and quartered
EVERYBODY'S GOT TO LEARN SOMETIME (James Warren)
Change your heart
Look around you
Change your heart
It will astound you
I need your loving like the sunshine
And everybody's got to learn sometime
Everybody's got to learn sometime
Everybody's got to learn sometime
Change your heart
Look around you
Change your heart
It will astound you
I need your loving like the sunshine
And everybody's got to learn sometime
Everybody's got to learn sometime
Everybody's got to learn sometime
INTIMATE (Andy Davis) [lyrics unconfirmed]
When you're making it
It just the part of it
Not the heart of it
Just the start of it
What I like to see
Is when you’re close to me
Immobility
Cause you're so
Intimate
You're oh so
Intimate
When I'm reaching out
I don't have to shout
I just suit myself
I don't need any help
Sometimes you're nice to me
Sometimes you're not
But I don't care a lot
Cause you're so
Intimate
You're oh so
Intimate
When you're making it
It just the part of it
Not the heart of it
Just the start of it
What I like to see
Is when you’re close to me
Immobility
Cause you're so
Intimate
You're oh so
Intimate
Intimate
Intimate
IT'S NOT GOOD UNLESS YOU LOVE ME (James Warren)
John plays on and on and on
Another slow dance
I don't mind, with you I've found
A real-life romance
And when you touch me
I know it must be
It's no good unless you love me
It's no good unless you love me
It's no good unless you love me
All along the same old song
To make you want me
I can't keep from losing sleep
In dreams you haunt me
And when I wake up
I want to shake up
It's no good unless you love me
It's no good unless you love me
It's no good unless you love me
And one day the games you play
Will drive me crazy
It's been so long since you've been gone
You'll drive me crazy
Before I break up
We got to make up
It's no good unless you love me
It's no good unless you love me
It's no good unless you love me
DUMB WAITERS (James Warren)
People tell me life is bolony
Dull as pea soup blind as macaroni
And on their travels food is appalling
No tasty mussels, standards are falling
Dumb waiters always ignore you
Dumb waiters they just abhor you
Dumb waiters don't even see you see you
Waste away
My friend's a health freak, he runs a plantation
He says the soybean shall nourish the nation
Don't go to restaurants, they only make you throw up
My girlfriend she said, 'Whenever will you grow up?'
Dumb waiters always ignore you
Dumb waiters they just abhor you
Dumb waiters don’t even see you see you
Waste away
Take it away!
Dumb waiters always ignore you
Dumb waiters they just abhor you
Dumb waiters don't even see you see you
Waste away
Ooh
Dumb waiters
Dumb waiters
Dumb waiters
Dumb waiters
Dumb waiters
Dumb waiters
Dumb waiters
IF IT'S ALRIGHT WITH YOU BABY (James Warren)
Is it asking too much
To be more than a friend
Is it asking too much
That I cease to pretend
If it's alright with you baby
If it's alright with you baby
If it's alright with you baby
It's alright with me
Is it asking too much
To be with you tonight
Is it asking too much
When the stars are so bright
Am I going too far
Would you ever agree
Don’t turn back
Don't yearn back
To days when he loved you
I'm here now
It's clear now
Our time has come
Would you leave me to cry
It's no fun to be free
If it's alright with you baby
If it's alright with you baby
If it's alright with you baby
It's alright with me
WISH YOU A MERRY CHRISTMAS (James Warren/Stuart Harrison)
Snowflakes falling
The old year sweeps away
Can't we make a new start
A new start from today
A new year dawning
In the deepest of night
Waiting for the morning
In the candle light
Wish you a merry Christmas
Wish you all a good new year
Time now to remember
We can keep life free from fear
When Christmas time is over now
When the party's done
Let's keep it in our mind somehow
The world's for everyone
What kind of world a new year brings
It [all reborn some new?]
Wish you a merry Christmas
Wish you all a good new year
Time now to remember
We can keep life free from fear
When Christmas time is over now
When the party's done
Let's keep it in our mind somehow
The world's for everyone
Wish you merry Christmas
Wish you all a good new year
Wish you merry Christmas
Wish you all a good new year
All a good new year
Have a good new year
CHRISTMAS IN JAPAN (James Warren)
Mist hangs on the water
First light of Christmas in Japan
Time flows like the ocean
Sometimes I just don't understand
Hold on, be strong
Soon now, somehow
I'm coming home
One day, someday
White trees on the hillside
Clouds rush across the winter moon
Can't say how I miss you
I know I'll be flying homeward soon
Hold on, be strong
Soon now, somehow
I'm coming home
One day, someday
