Al Stewart - How does it happen

Tekst :

Oh, kid you re in a terrible state
You better pick yourself up before it gets too late
You re into phyiscal fitness and emotional fatness
You think you re an actress, you act like a mattress
How does it happen?
How does it happen?
How do things get to be that way?
How does it happen?
How does it happen?
I feel like a wheel on a train that s runnin away
Runnin away, runnin away
Runnin away, runnin away

Oh, kid it can be bad out there
When the trash comes at you from everywhere
An original thought can be such a rush
Why do they feed you on a diet of man-made mush?
How does it happen?
How does it happen?
How does it get to be that way?
How does it happen?
How does it happen?
I feel like a wheel on a train runnin away
Runnin away, runnin away
Runnin away, runnin away
I feel like a wheel on a train that s runnin away

Oh, kid there s no quick solution
And there s no one there to grant you absolution
When your friends belong in an institution
There s a spanner in the works of evolution
How does it happen?
How does it happen?
How does it get to be that way?
How does it happen?
How does it happen?
I feel like a wheel on a train that s runnin away...
Runnin away, runnin away
Runnin away, runnin away
Runnin away
I feel like a wheel on a train that s runnin away
Runnin away, runnin away

Al Stewart - Necromancer

Tekst :

Oh the sweet addiction
Of forbidden fruit
Oh the strange affliction
That has taken root
Oh the hidden cancer
Cancer of the soul
Oh the necromancer
Inside us all
I have never seen this many
People gathered in one place together
Don t ask about it
You don t want to know
Caught up in the fury of euphoria
They say will alst forever
Don t ask about it
It might just be so

Oh the burning candle
Oh the pretty flame
Come fly into the night with us
And feel the same
Oh the sweet surrender
Oh the solemn vow
Leave your old identity
And join us now

I bleieve that I have been
Through this before
And I can still remember
Maybe a past life
I just can t tell

The faces and the uniforms
Are changed and yet
There s something so familiar
Am I still under
That same old spell

Oh the sweet addiction
Of forbidden fruit
Oh the strange affliction
That has taken root
Oh the love of darkness
Oh the vampire s kiss
Have mercy on a people
Who would dream like this
Who would dream like this
Like this

Al Stewart - Candidate

Tekst :

Inside the lonely building
Sits the candidate
His speech is typed and ready
The hundred-dollar plates
Sit on deserted tables
Beneath fluorescent light
But no one comes to hear him
No cheers disturb the night
So where are all the voters?
Where the voter s wives?
They ve all gone to the movies
Trying to understand their lives.
The candidate is slipping
Into some dream of old
Not noticing around him
A thousand rubber chickens going cold

Inne utwory

Sirens of titan

I was drawn by the sirens of Titan
Carried along by their call
Seeking for a way to enlighten
Searching for the sense of it all
Like a kiss on the wind I was thrown to the stars
Captured and oredered in the army of Mars
Marching to the sound of the drum in my head
I...

I need a man to love

Whoa, I need a man to love me.
Don’t you understand me, baby ?
Why, I need a man to love.
I gotta find him, I gotta have him like the air I breathe.
One lovin’ man to understand can’t be too much to need.

You know it
Can’t be...

So lang mein herz noch schlagt

Aus und vorüber hab ich geschworen.
Wenn auch mit Tränen im Gesicht.
Hab so viel Liebe an dich verloren.
An ein paar Tränen stirbt man nicht.
Ich wollt dich nie mehr wieder sehn,
nie mehr in deine Augen sehn.
Doch heute weiß ich, um...

Long way round

You say what you say
And you pray that one day
You ll be seen between the shadows
Now that s a waist of your pain
Living your life like a saint
When it don t...no
It don t even matter
Even saints make their mistakes
Letting their dreams fall and break
All it feels like
Living in sunshine with...
