The Other Half
Air full of feathers Fluttering distant laughter Air full of signs and strange magic Planets aligned in warning Trap door sprung beneath me And I'm falling But I'm rising.. Downwards into blue sky I'm rising
Downwards into blue sky Re-entering the earth Comet's tailbehind me Signalling a birth The northern lights, all burning Hot and cold at the same time My spirit, white and liquid And I have learned and I am learning But I'm rising Downwards into blue sky I'm rising Downwards into blue sky
I am the other half And you are what I am for I won't lie to you or hurt you I'm not like that anymore
I am with you all the time now One soul. One mind. One heart. The other half cannot be parted From the other half From the other half

See It Like A Baby
Look at it as though you've never seen it before Try and forget it So you can see it
Taste it like you never tasted it before Try and forget it So you can remember it
See it like a baby See it like a baby
Love her like you've never fallen in love before Fall out of love with her So you can remember
Love him like you've never been with him before Try and forget it So you can remember it
See it like.. See it like a baby See it like a baby See it like Touch it like Taste it like Feel it like

THankyou WHoever You Are
What a time this is Everything changing Faster than the eye can blink Faster than we can stop and think What will the future hold? Well whatever..
I won't ask you to care But say you'll be there If you can't love me tonight Just remember the light Remember the light
Thankyou whoever you are Thankyou whoever you are Thankyou
If we get half of half a chance We'll party til dawn. We'll run and dance Sleep on a train and rent a car We'll gamble in the South of France We'll be a friend to this mad world Happy together
I won't ask you to sign On some cold dotted line But if you can love me tonight I'll remember the light Only the light
Thankyou whoever you are Thankyou whoever you are Thankyou
Lyrics: Hogarth Music: Hogarth, Kelly, Mosley, Rothery, Trewavas Working Title: Thank You
Most Toys
But he who dies with the most toys.... is still dead. He who dies with the most toys.... is still dead.
You have to be cool You have to be hip You have to be chic You have to be rich You have to be young Whatever that is You have to listen to what's in and what's happenin'
But He who dies with the most toys.... is still dead.
You have to keep up Take the right drugs Know when to be cagey Know when to shut up You have to talk fast Know who to thank Drive the right car to the right bank
But He who dies with the most toys.... is still dead.
Poison your life As you turn the knife
He who dies with the most toys.... is still dead.

Somewhere Else
This rock-star trip. Some serious ship White-knuckle journey blackened my eye and cut my lip Better to be a doctor or a man who walks the earth Hedonistic laughing boys What's any of it worth?..
Look at myself Look at myself
Escaped to the car Drove to a bar somewhere The beautiful game Such a thin line between love and hate
Look at myself Look at myself
Mr Taurus ate a thesaurus Made the girls cry and skipped straight to the chorus Mr Taurus had a great fall All the King's horses were no good at all No good at all
Here's one I broke earlier I broke earlier
Woke up in a spaceship of shimmering gold Tutenkhamen sleeping Should'a left him alone Floating round in Orion Arrow pointing to heaven Between all the planets Out in the cold
Everyone I love Everyone I love Everyone I love lives somewhere else And I have time to look at myself Look at myself Look at myself
And I've seen enough I've seen enough Everyone I love lives somewhere else. Everyone I love lives somewhere else.
Somewhere Else Somewhere Else Somewhere Else

A Voice From The Past
A voice from the past Entered my head today Fresh and alive. Full of life, passion and pain. A voice now past. A beautiful soul. Gone, gone, gone.
Speaking clearly - clearer than the living Talking perfect sense Used to not being understood While talking perfect sense to the next generation
Have we caught up yet? Is it time? I think it is. Enough is enough Enough is enough
A voice from the past Entered my head today Tiny child sighed in my ear. Giving up breathing in Over and out Over and out Taken by bad luck and the ill fortune of geography.
Common cold. Dirty water. HIV. Common apathy. Common crime. Perfect nonsense to the next generation
Dead yet alive Dead yet alive Gone but shouting anger Gone but talking perfect sense
Have we caught up yet? Is it time? Well I say it is. I say it is. Deaf and dumbed-down Enough is enough
Give me a smile. Hold out your hand. I don't want your money I don't want your land Gimme a smile. Hold out your hand. I don't want your money I don't want your land I want you to wake up and do something strange I want you to listen I want you to feel someone else's pain Someone else's pain Someone else's pain Someone else's pain.
Deaf and dumbed-down Deaf and dumbed-down
A tap with clean water

No Such Thing
There's no such thing As an answered prayer There's no such thing As the ozone layer There's no such thing As an action hero
There's no such thing As an easy ride There's no such thing As a place to hide There's no such thing As a perfect day
There's no such thing As the pearly gates There's no such thing As an ordered world There's no such thing As an easy girl
No such thing No such thing
There's no such thing As peace-of-mind As a faithful wife As the bottom line There's no such thing As owning something It's all borrowed for a time It's all borrowed for a time
There's no such thing There's no such thing No such thing There's no such thing No such thing.

The Wound
I've done everything that can be done to heal this wound Left it on it's own for years
I've done everything that can be done to heal this wound Left it on it's own for years Couldn't touch it, didn't pick it, didn't get it wet It didn't stop the bleeding
I bandaged it, I wrapped it, stitched it, tourniqueted it I held it stiff and aching in the air Held it there til I went beserk Didn't sleep It didn't work Didn't stop it weeping
And the wound is your life And your life took on a life of it's own (Or so you foolishly thought) And your life rolled on over me Bang-Bang like 56 train wheels Every time I heard news of you
And the wound was in every lousy song on the radio
And the pain was like a tree-fern in the dark, damp, forgotten places Darkness didn't stop her growing New-born baby cells dividing.. Curled up tight unrolling day by day Stretching up, stretching out Forming the same identical shape Clones. There aint too much sadder than Clones - relentlessly emerging from the hairy heart of the wound
And the fern is beautiful in it's own way Uncurling in the dark Beautiful with no one there to see it As the wound weeps and aches
(Now there's some sad things known to the man from the planet Marzipan)

The Last Century For Man
Here we are At the beginning of the last century for man Usin' up parts of the world we haven't even seen or been to The wretched of the earth exploited by the rich few What's new?
If you are not outraged You haven't been paying attention If you are not outraged You haven't been listening
God bless America, I mean it God bless the UK, I mean it God bless la belle France, I mean it And God help us all
Climb into the car I know that makes you happy The sound of your laughter Will get you so far Grace or disgrace Can make you a star these days Reality pays Let's decide who the terrorists are
God bless America, I mean it God bless the UK, I mean it Hats off to China, and India And Africa too.
Eat all we can Drink all we can Use all we can Do what we can Screw what we can Don't miss a chance In the last century for man
I wanna feel ALIVE Gas up the 4 wheel drive!..
God bless America, I mean it God bless the UK God bless our children And God help us all
Lyrics: Hogarth Music: Hogarth, Kelly, Mosley, Rothery, Trewavas
Faith
What I have here in my hand Is like faith but not faith For those without faith also have What I have here in my hand
What I have here in my hand Is like feeling but deeper It's why I am here
What I have here in my hand Is knowledge without proof What I have here in my hand This is what I feel for you
It's why the earth is alive It makes electricity work And fire dance in the sky..
Feel it Feel inside the atoms where the science breaks down Feel inside the atoms where the science breaks down If you don't believe in love You'd have to make it up You'd have to make it up You'd have to make it up
What I have here in my hand Is like faith but not faith What I have here in my hand This is what I feel for you
What I have here in my hand Is like knowing but deeper It's why I am here It's why I am here
Lyrics: Hogarth Music: Hogarth, Kelly, Mosley, Rothery, Trewavas
Circular Ride
Life itself is a detail
We talked in a bar under the stars of Copenhagen She said, "Oh my God! It's so hard, breakin-up. Oh please say to me I'll survive like Gloria Gaynor" I said, "You'll be fine. I've been burned but I've learned one thing to bear in mind..
It's only life A blink of an eye The lows and the highs It's only life A circle of light It's a circular ride
I said "Oh my head. What goes up comes down.. Turn on the TV - here comes world war 3 My life. Tricky stuff. There aint a drink strong enough." She said, "You don't need a reason to smile. C'mon grin. Don't get in a spin.
Open your eyes The lows and the highs Stare at the sky It's only life It's a circular ride
Wasn't meant to be fair Or meant to be kind It's all in the mind It's only life It's a circle of light It's a circular ride
Everybody altogether laughing Everybody altogether crying Everybody see you later Later can be greater
Open your eyes! The lows and the highs A blink of an eye It's only life It's a circular ride
We're here and we're gone Like grass on a lawn The dusk and the dawn It's only life It's a circular ride It's only life A circle of light It's only life It's a circular ride It's a circular ride
Lyrics: Hogarth Music: Hogarth, Kelly, Mosley, Rothery, Trewavas
Say the Word
A thousand people in the square today Pushing by - never come face to face There might as well be no-one here at all And I’m so lonely I could cry myself to sleep I'm hungry for some kind of sign from you Any excuse for something to say I'm trembling now there’s nothing I can do I'm scared in case I scare you away I wouldn’t ask you for anything I wouldn't play no silly games We don't need to be lovers But we could talk just the same
Take my hand and we're walking out Take on the world An unspoken understanding There's more to me than meets the eye I don't know you so, tell me, why should I lie? I'm so tired of everybody here So proud of what their money bought I've been storing up all these promises I would keep if we were to talk Say the word and we're walking out Say the word and we'll work it out Say the word and we'll work it out Say the word and we'll work it out
Say the word.. and WE'LL WORK IT OUT.
