Songs: Thought Talk
Side 2
1. Good Love Starry Eyed & Laughing
Too long since we've been growing
Too long yeah since we've been moving
Can you feel the ground ?
Can you you see the sky ?
Everything's moving
Good Love oh it's coming through to you
Too much hating and fighting
Too much bitchin' and lying
Don't you know your heart
Don't you know your mind
Everyone's lying
Hoping to see the light shining
Hoping to see people trying
Can you spare the time to make that climb ? Everyone's trying
2. One Foot In The Boat T.Poole
I leaned on a razor blade
To see if my skin would give
I leaned and leaned but all it gave
Was a flowing red urge to live
A friend who'd told me life's a lie
Said talking to you's like walking on eggs
Even then I had to reply
' Watch where you're putting those legs'
I had one foot in the boat
And one foot on the bank
The bank was soon too far to reach
And the boat sank
I played with some sleeping pills
To see if my brain could score
I lost the game 100-Nil
All over the bathroom floor
I got so hungry for a face
I had to pick up the phone
And make a call to the Human Race
Saying 'Why don't you leave me alone ?'
And I would do it all on a whim
I'd do me in 'cause my hair's getting thin
No-one really cares if you sink or swim
I danced on a window ledge
To see if my feet could fly
I danced and danced till both my legs
Were shaking hands with the sky
And when at last I finally jumped
Took off and headed down
I jumped 'n' jumped 'n' jumped 'n' jumped
But I could not reach the ground
3. Since I Lost You I.Whitmore
Oh once I had a day but I lost it on the way
Oh I wish I had that day to make me smile again
Oh I've never been the same
Since I walked out your front door
And I can't get back no more anyway
Tried so hard since I lost you
Seen the world since I lost you
Come so far since I lost you
But it's done me no good
Once I had a girl
You know she really was my world
Oh I wish I had that girl to make me smile again
Oh I've never been the same
Since I turned my back on you
But there's nothing I can do anyway
I am the stranger in your dream
The one you can't quite see
I am the friend you could believe
But will that ever be ?
Once I had some friends
But I lost them round the bend
Oh I wish I had those friends to make me smile again
Oh I've never been the same
Since I turned my back to flee
But it all comes down on me anyway
4. Down The Street R.McGeeney
Down the street walks another lady
She is not aware of me
Wo oh oh when I see you
You know that I can see you
Every time that same old feeling
That has not forgotten me
Everybody's looking for somethin'
They hardly know which way to begin
Any day now you must know where you stand
Any way now you must know where you stand
With your lady
Every day a little wiser of this life that turns around
Wo oh oh when I see you
You know that I can see you
You must live for every moment
Time will surely pass away
Everybody's looking for something
They hardly know which way to begin
5. Fools' Gold I.Whitmore
You say that it's hard to be free
Or maybe it's hard just to be
And freedom's a hard thing to see
You say that it's Fools' Gold
But I don't believe it, I don't believe it
You say all true lovers are blind
And true love is so hard to find
But I can't get you out of my mind
You said you were Fools' Gold
But I don't believe it, I don't believe it
I just can't believe it's Fools' Gold
You say you must live for today
And livin' alone is okay
But maybe you'd like me to stay
You say that I'm Fools' Gold
But please don't believe it
Please don't believe it
Please don't believe it - Please
Too long since we've been growing
Too long yeah since we've been moving
Can you feel the ground ?
Can you you see the sky ?
Everything's moving
Good Love oh it's coming through to you
Too much hating and fighting
Too much bitchin' and lying
Don't you know your heart
Don't you know your mind
Everyone's lying
Hoping to see the light shining
Hoping to see people trying
Can you spare the time to make that climb ? Everyone's trying

1. Believe R.McGeeney
I was left stranded, dealt underhanded
Too many miles in between
I was so unsure of love then
And I thought perhaps that she might feel the same
Seems I'm no better than when I started out on this crazy dream
And the night she wanders with me
Now I don't know if she's comin' round again
I see a beautiful movement
In every thing that you do
Maybe I've got to believe
It's such a heartache decision
To stand your ground or to run
Could it be this was the love that I dreamed of for so long ?
Back on my own now it seems so clear how
she was just marking time
I was lost in my confusion
and I could not see that I was out of line
Left with my sorrow maybe tomorrow something will come to be
Was it all a sad illusion ?
Was it all that she could ever give to me ?
2. Keep It To Yourself Starry Eyed & Laughing
Baby Baby
There's something that you ought to learn
You're fighting with a going concern
Baby Baby
They'll take your music every day
All you wanted was a chance
But you put it in their hands
And you threw that chance away
If you've got something to say
Keep It To Yourself
You've got too much to lose
Baby Baby
The talent scout is coming to town
He's gonna try and nail you down
Baby Baby
Life will never be the same
If you don't do what he says
He'll just find somebody else
Who can play that money game
Baby Baby
Did you think that you could change the scene ?
You'd better re-design your dream
Baby Baby
The future's right here today
Everywhere you go it isn't hard to see that low IQ is here to stay
3. Don't Give Me A Hard Time R.McGeeney
Well I'm not a gambling man
But if you say the word I am
Now I'm not a man to take risks
And I do appreciate being missed
I think the time is right again
I think the land's in sight again
I think my love is coming to you
Ooh yeah
I'm the one who stays out late
And I sail close to the wind of my fate
I come up every time with a smile
I come round every once in a while
I think security has flown away from me
I need your love just to carry me through
Ooh yeah
We all get to fall
No-one left to call
Nothing, only shadows of my being
You say I am a desperate man
And that life holds no thrill for me
Well I just want to see it all
before someone makes me stumble and fall
I think the time is right again
I think the land's in sight again
I think my love is coming to you Ooh yeah
4. Flames In The Rain T.Poole
Are you struck dumb stranger lost and unknown
Constant bullshit witness innocent
game drunk dreams sunk
Eyes closed heart froze and hungry for confusion
Do you feel so pointless woken helpless
Trapped far in a future time that really has no need of you
Nor any other single person
Are you beaten and bewildered
Are you captured and confused
Are you trodden in manoeuvred out used up paid off desperate damaged and abused
Like flames in the rain
The burning remains
Like flames in the rain
Who are these strangers in the street
Who trail their unknown lives beneath
the headlines and the TV trends
And all the make-believe
Friends' faces known and unknown framed
Features fixed soon blurred again
And all the thoughts that marked their names
gone like the dust of dreams
Your millions jam spectator stands
To watch the sacred game of chance
And all you feel comes second-hand
Your science flashing random and insane
Like flames in the rain
The burning remains
Like flames in the rain
I watched the sunrise crack the sky
Slow-motion sheets of mystic fire
Dissolved into the damp morning like flames in the rain
I thought I saw the skyway sigh and heard it's fabric hum
A blackbird whistled and the master song whispered in my brain
Between the night and its' shadow
Between my heart and tomorrow
I feel my soul invisibly dancing
Like flames in the rain
The burning remains
Like flames in the rain
