@ALBUM: UK Lyrics from U.K. "U.K." From lyric sheet; in "{ }" on left column denotes actual words sung, where they differ from what was written (some significant, some subtly different, some markedly different meanings) @SONG: In The Dead Of Night -------------------- Are you one of mine who can sleep with one eye open wide? Agonizing psychotic solitary hours to decide Reaching for the light at the slightest noise from the floor Palms of hands perspire {Now your hands perspire} heart goes leaping at a knock from the door. In the Dead of Night In the Dead of Night Rich and powerful ascend complicated bends to be free To indulge in what they will {Indulge in what they will} and jaded thrill or fanstasy Shuttered windows that belie all stifled cries from within {All the stifled cries from within} And prying eyes are blind to proceedings of the kind that begin In the Dead of Night In the Dead of Night @SONG: By The Light of Day ------------------- Black clouds moving gray sky to thunder Kinetic sunrise fever and blood Fire and water element anger Horizon melting to blood By The Light of Day By The Light of Day Silent wheel advancing years Power and agony growing fears {Power and glory growing fears} Love's a dream some pretend {Love's a dream that some pretend} Accelerates an early end {Accelerates at an early end} By The Light of Day By The Light of Day ----------- Reprise ------- Don't tell me that the wages of sin are for real The writings on the wall {Writing on the wall} (What's) the score what's the deal? Don't wonder we can't see {No wonder we can't see} (thru) the wood for the trees {(thru) the wood thru the trees} No perfume we design can ever veil the sickness on the breeze By The Light of Day In the Dead of Night @SONG: Time to Kill ------------ Rip the sheets off cold ice again Wolf at the door Can I stand A dog's life here for one day more Close my eyes imagine somewhere So far away Silversand And azure Carribean Sea Sick of solitary holidays Cause I never get away from here I listen to the water drip down In to the cell Run amok If I survive this living hell. Holding up this cold calaboose C A P T I V I T Y Even takes My lucid thoughts away from me TIME TO KILL going nowhere KILLING TIME staying where there's...... @SONG: Thirty Years ------------ Chasing rainbows for a lifetime then left you girl {left to go} Like shadows from the sun, Run into traces Of faces you thought you saw But never seemed to mean much more {But never seemed to me much more} than echoes of a day gone by {echoes of a day gone by} When someone else would have to try To light the stars ......In your sky. [Your dark sky] All the things you planned Just sand castles washed away On tidal waves of tears, fears overpowering Your complex dreams just slither down drowning in rocky pools, Or smashed and dashed On peril's course, divorcing prematurely thoughts {On peril's course, forcing prematurely} Of lasting love ......In your life. Sometime when you've time to spare {Sometime we need time to spare} Feeling of missed opportunity Spare a tear and douse your bridge... burning 30 years and on the ledge.... learning All the things you planned [baby] 30 years in bed. @SONG: Nevermore --------- Nevermore The sight Black Forest Cool Moonlight Blue shadows Reflect In windows In direct Oh to go Down to Soho There bold spirits don't sink so low Gold Amber Of lights Beer glasses Misty nights Oh to go Down to Soho Black tie night out or hobo outright Singles bars Cruising shark cars Soho neon glow When day is dawning You wipe the sleep slowly from your eyes And you remember Soho's neon disguise Eyes reflect in windows direct Soho neon glow...... @SONG: Mental Medication ----------------- Mental medication Sweet music's conversation Play for all creation here Melody fair. Lost in contemplation Drown'd in medication {Drown'd in meditation} (!) Need your inspiration near. When I'm alone I remember Your truth is lasting {Truth is lasting} With the sun in your eyes And a simple disguise You fooled me Strange how your calling is clear From the sound of your voice You don't give me no choice You move me [You prove me] Deep lies desire for your quick'ning fire It's a hell of a ride {Well it's a hell of a ride} When your courage inside Deserts you Clear though the calling may be...... In a terrible way You continue to say You need me Show me the way through your dark red door Mental Medication Music's Conversation Need Your Inspiration Near Melody Fair ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
