travelling this dark world, leaving light behind	I got to find a good time train
seeing things I shouldn't see	I know you say I'm looking pale as fever
new eyes I got to find	all you want to do is groan
mars venus and Stars shaking	but now i see I'm glad you're on your own
their heads at me	.
no more todays - tonight I'll be riding the sky	the summer's been and gone again
.	I don't know where and I don't care where I'm going
hey world look out I'm coming	you tried so hard to bring me down
friends pass me by a new song their humming	but I'm not simply everybody's clown
mars venus and stars shaking	.
their heads at me	stop the world I need a little time right now
no more todays - tonight I'll be riding the sky	in my head I'm so confused
tonight ride the sky, tonight ride the sky	busy little people in their big machine
	haven't got the time to feel abused
the smile on his face turn me to stone	.
the words that he spoke	it's not that I'm the restless kind
wouldn't leave me alone	but now I've go to satisfy my mind
mars venus and stars	I haven't got a thing to lose
shaking their heads at me	and anyway I've got no time to choose
no more todays tonight I'll be riding the	.
tonight ride the sky, tonight ride the sky,	summer's been and gone again
tonight ride the sky	I don't know where
tonight ride the sky	and I don't care where I'm going
.	when you see me at the break of dawn
Keep Goin'	pull yourself together till I'm gone

.	Toxic Shadows
I saw the horses go by in the snow	Peter Hesslein / John O'Brien Docker
I heard the hounds in full cry long ago	words: O'Brien Docker
I saw my face in a dream down below	.
I heard the prisoners scream: room for more	Blackness sliding everywhere
.	you took the train to Clapham Junction
keep going they're hot on your heels	Cause it can't wait
the longer you rest now the harder it feels	Toxic shadows in the air
nobody will open the door	you find your own with no compunction
even your friends won't know you no more	now It's too late
.	.
slowly I open my eyes no one there	tell me how'd you'd like to be
breakfast in bed would be nice no one here	a dead eyed fish in a dead eyed sea
I can't be late there today - throw me out	with nowhere left to go this side of doom
what would I do without pain, go with out	would you know what should be done lying,
.	dying in the sun
Free Baby	praying for the rising of the moon
music: Peter Hesslein / words: John Lawton	.
.	I smell coal dust in your hair
hey baby -would you stop those stupid games	you who baked in a house of fire
that you are playing	with your feely finger
hey baby is it lies or is it true	take my hard rock, put it there
what they are saying	ooh babe just a little bit higher
when you're on your own you play around	let the feeling linger
set me free	.
.	tell me how you'd like to be
hey baby is it mine or someone else's bed . .	a dead eyed fish in a dead eyed sea
you'll sleep tonight	with nowhere left to go this side of doom
tell me baby, if it's someone else, make sure	wouldn't you know what should be done
that he will treat you right	laying dying in the sun
when you're on your own you play around	the ragged crows close in the afternoon
set me free	.
.	Baby you're a Liar
.(repeat)	music : Peter Hesslein / words : O'Brien Docker

..In the Time of Job	truly you're the sweetest thing .
Hesslein / Horns/ Hecht/ Rietenbach/ O'Brien Docker	I have ever seen
words : O'Brien Docker	you make me get the crazy side of love
.	you're the one who can make me, shake me
in the time of job when joseph was a chippy.	long before my time is due
all the sons of pharaoh's were kings	move it in the back and slide it from above
the word was passed around that mammon was a yippee	but I've gotten wiser to you babe
and papin had to learn a few things	baby, baby you're a liar and I fell for you
first there was a light copyright by moses	baby I couldn't get no higher
and abraham was playing the stooge	but I seen through you
with pilate on the right and mary and her roses	baby now you've gone away from me
had a reputation to lose	it's all over, bar the crying
.	.
..(mid 8)	.now I've had the time to think about
oh yeah - dozy hosianna screw me I'm a juba	where I went wrong
praise the beanstalk - coogan flipped for,	I know I'd run a mile to do it all once more
get down on your knees and love the man	spending lonely nights with someone
mary said to joe there ain't no play on jesi	that I know I'll never love
.you want to see them fall for the tricks	wishing things was like they were before
all we got to do is let them take it easy	but I've gotten wiser to you babe
and make like he's working for kicks	baby I'm a liar and I fell I for you
.	baby couldn't get no higher with you - no, no, no
(solo)	baby now you've gone away from me
.	it's all over, don't bar the waiting
when old job got up, the bosses in judea.	.
knew they had a fish on the hook	Lucifer's Friend.
they called in all the boys…..and sold them the idea	Hesslein / Horns/ Hecht/ Rietenbach/ O'Brien Docker
to write the story down in a book	words : O'Brien Docker

(mid 8)	fear and fright since yesterday night .
(verse 1)	the little man knocked at my window
.	the hour hit one but he had to run
.	but he'll come again
.	since yesterday night, I lived in fear of fright
.	I still hear his voice shouting
.	through the night
.	.
.	.I asked man, I asked sue don't know
.	what to do
.	every hour I cry I don't want to die
.	fear is in my brain
.	since yesterday night, I lived in fear and fright
.	I still hear his voice shouting
	through the night
	.
