Tumbledown 05:51
Dick/Simmonds
It's just a matter of time a figure of speech that springs to mind throughout the day

As the minutes go by, a second thought, a moment lost, time ticks away
And everything changes, forever never lasts, no such thing as always,it's all too soon the past

Tumbledown, tumbledown, tumble, tumble, tumbledown.
Tumbledown, tumbledown, tumble, tumble, tumbledown

Raingods with Zippos, a tin man with a heart
An end with no beginning, a race without a start
That you'll never win, that you cannot lose and you fall apart

Tumbledown, tumbledown, tumble, tumble, tumbledown.
Tumbledown, tumbledown, tumble, tumble, tumbledown

The tarot declares a motion made a finger traps an empty glass

The needles begin to make their mark, you try to hide, you're leaving tracks

I dream of fire and water, dream of deserts, dream up plans
Like mountains and castles they're only grains of sand that

Tumbledown, tumbledown, tumble, tumble, tumbledown,
Tumbledown, tumbledown, tumble, tumble, tumbledown

Raingods with Zippos, a tin man's bleeding heart
An end with no beginning, a race without a start
That you'll never win, that you cannot lose and you fall apart

And Tumbledown, tumbledown, tumble, tumble, tumbledown
Tumbledown, tumbledown, tumble, tumble, tumbledown

Mission Statement 03:59
Dick/ Astley/ Thorn
I punched the clock in at 35, I thank the Lord that I'm still alive,

sometimes I find it hard to believe that my hearts still beating that I'm still on my feet
I'm gonna give you, gonna give you a mission statement

I've been in a downward spiral for a very long, long time,
I've been stepping over dollars just to pick up a shiny dime
The way I see it, it ain't gonna work, I'm kissing the past goodbye
I'm gonna give you, gonna give you a mission statement

I got no more patience, got no more time
I'm tired of following orders, sticking to the company line

I want to change the world and I'm starting with myself
a private revalation concerning everybody else
we're all just lonely people we're all looking for some help
too busy crunching numbers and fighting for ourselves
all it takes is kindness and a little love and care
and this planet that we live on can be a Heaven we can share, a mission statement

The tears of hungry children are falling in the dust
the scraps of a rich man's table could fill their starving mouths
while some they thirst for water others get drunk on wine
to some their lives a prison and they're out there doing time
I'm gonna give you, give you a mission statement

I got no more patience, I got no more time
I'm tired of following orders, sticking to the company line

I want to change the world and I'm starting with myself
a private revalation concerning everybody else
we're all just lonely people we're all looking for some help
too busy crunching numbers and fighting for ourselves
all it takes is kindness and a little love and care
and this planet that we live on can be a Heaven we can share, a mission statement

Incomplete 03:43
Dick/ Antwi/Millet
We got 140 stations on satellite beaming on down to our home - but I'm watching you 

I've got half a million bills to pay, you never hear a word I say - I dream of you

Oh I feel so incomplete, oh, it seems so incomplete
If we could only close the distance
If we could only cross these lines
If we could only fill the space that's grown between us over time

You don't hear me anymore, you don't touch me anymore, you don't know me anymore

There's a wedding dress in a suitcase full of memories in the attic - I think of you
Where the ghosts of summer butterflies they gather in the dust - I long for you

Oh I feel so incomplete, oh it seems so incomplete
If we could only bring those days back when there were never wounds to heal
When everything was perfect and the dream we had was real

You don't hear me anymore, you don't touch me anymore, you don't know me anymore

Oh I feel so incomplete, oh, it seems so incomplete
When there were never any questions over who or what we were
And the future only promised all the answers to our prayers

You don't hear me anymore, you don't touch me anymore, you don't know me anymore

Tilted Cross 04:18
Dick
There's a message that's been left in the long grass by a stranger who's passed this way before 

Planted seed from which we reap a bitter harvest from his long forgotten war

I left my love in a grave and I marked it with a cross that will stand so straight and true
It's not alone in the shade of the valley, they're what remains of the ones we once knew

Walk with me my child but tread softly on this earth
Keep a close eye where your feet they touch the ground
Watch out for the signs and heed what they say
One false step and all is lost
In the land of the tilted cross

They lie beneath the needles of the forest, in the fields where only shadows dare to play
Washed down from the slopes of the mountains in the Spring when the snow melts away

So be sure when you go on your journey, carry sticks, mark the place where they are found
Make a cross and be sure that it's tilted so that others don't step on this ground

Walk with me my child but tread softly on this earth
Keep a close eye where your feet they touch the ground
Watch out for the signs and heed what they say
One false step and all is lost
In the land of the tilted cross

I left my love in a grave and I marked it with a cross that stands so straight and true

Faith Healer 05:00
A. Harvey/H. McKenna/A. Cleminson
If your body's feeling bad

It's the only one you have
You want to take away the pain
Just go out walking in the rain
You watch the flowers go to bed
Just ask the man inside your head
Your spirit never has to grieve
All you've got to do is believe

The faith healer
The faith healer

All you've gotta do is feel
Your body's gonna start to heal
The finger tips of holy fire
Ever lasting sweet desire
It never mattered what the doctor said
The healer man will sail away

It's immortality for two
Oh the miricles they will come to you

From faith healer
The faith healer

Can I put my hands on you
Can I put my hands on you

The faith healer
The faith healer

Faith and hope and charity
The simple relativity
He can make you understand
All you've gotta do, you've gotta take his hand
The finger tips of holy fire
Ever lasting sweet desire
It never mattered what the doctor said
Listen to the man inside your head

The faith healer
The faith healer

Can I put my hands on you
Can I put my hands on you

Let me put my hands on you
Let me put my hands on you

Can I put my hands on you
Can I put my hands on you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you

The faith healer
The faith healer
The faith healer

Rites of Passage 07:41
Dick/ Simmonds
With this right of passage 

Cruel twist of fate
With every turn of every card I never see
Until it's too late
The deed is done and leaves me wondering just where our love has gone
I cannot say in honest truth that I still trust all my feelings for you

You knew that it was wrong
You think that saying sorry is gonna make it seem alright
Maybe in this song you will hear me for the first time
And you'll start to see the light

Living with you is like being parked on double yellow lines waiting to be towed away
I'll pay the fines and I'll be back, but I'm running out of reasons to stay

You knew that it was wrong
You think that saying sorry is gonna make it seem alright
Maybe in this song you will hear me for the first time
And you'll start to see the light

You knew that it was wrong
You think that saying sorry is gonna make it seem alright
Maybe in this song you will hear me for the first time
And you'll start to see the light

With this right of passage I reclaim my heart
I take my leave, as if on cue
I play no further part in your self-penned dramas
Where each stolen kiss
Just goes to prove that happy endings don't exist

Plague Of Ghosts: (i) Old Haunts 03:12
Derek W Dick/Tony Turrell/Mark Daghorn
I found a home in the darkness, found a home in the darkness, found a home in the darkness,

Empty stomach empty head a body fills a vacant bed
and the thunder rolls by, and the rains come, and the days gone and I wonder where I am

Found a place in the darkness, found a home in the darkness, in the darkness, home, in the darkness

A crowded room of passers by and in the shadows strangers cry, and the ghosts try to hide
when the rains come, when the storms form, when I wonder who I am in the darkness
 🠹

Plague Of Ghosts: (ii) Digging Deep 06:48
Digging deep in the darkness, digging it deep down deep down deep down digging it

Deep in the darkness, digging it deep, down deep, down, deep down digging it
Deep in the darkness, digging it deep, down, down, down, down, digging it
Deep in the darkness, digging it down, deep down, deep, down deep digging it

We watched an insect stray to the edge of it's world, a lily pad stretched over a green mirror
in which the ghost carp swirl like clouds before a storm
This is the season of the rains
This is incoming

And when it came their was no cover, no place to hide
vision blurred, hard to breathe, trying hard to hold onto something that's real
Nothing left, nowhere to go, no open road it's washed away by swollen streams
carried off downriver with all my broken dreams

Digging deep in the darkness, digging it deep, down deep down deep, deep, digging it
Deep in the darkness, digging it deep down, down, down, down digging it
Deep in the darkness, digging it deep, digging it digging it, digging it
Deep in the darkness, digging it deep down, deep down, deep down, digging it

A tethered goat bleats from the corner of the graveyard where the lizards hang motionless
as the angels of stone above them,
their broken wings throwing long shadows into the grass where the scorpions hide
The tigers are running out of jungle

In the end I was tired of being asked if I could say that I was happy now
as if you need me to convince you that everything's OK
Would you take me back?

Digging deep in the darkness, digging it deep, down deep, down deep, deep digging it
Deep in the darkness, digging it deep, down, down, down, down, down, digging it
Deep in the darkness, digging it deep, deep down, deep, deep, digging it
Deep in the darkness, down, down, down, down, down, down digging it

Are you happy now? You keep asking, asking am I happy now?
Why can't you tell me that I'm happy now? Are you happy now?
Happy now? Happy now?

Plague Of Ghosts: (iii) Chocolate Frogs 04:04
The bloated corpses of unsolved murders and old revolutions,

pirouette and dance amongst the swirls and eddies in their final procession
down the muddy river to the delta where they're thrown up by the surf
onto sterile beaches or are trapped in the roots of mangrove cathedrals of the islands
that gather in the bay

These are the first arrivals on this new horizon that will be coveted by strangers
who will deposit themselves on these shores to build towers to the heavens.
The storm will come and the rains will fall and remove their dreams and hopes once
again to the waters that surround them.
And while they pray the frogs will chant in the darkness

A heid full of chocolate frogs, a body full of rush, a pocketful of shrapnel and a skinful of bush,
an eyeful of the future and a bellyful of the past, how beautiful the present when you know it cannae last

A tumblerful of voddie, two fingers in a glass, a handful of promises, a heart full of remorse
mindful of your manners when you're brought down to your knees
a heid full of chocolate frogs is all you gave to me
That's all you gave to me, that's all you gave to me

A spoonful of miracles a nostril full of dust a lung full of Virginia the needs we have we must
a pill to put your heart right a nose out for a deal for a heid full of chocolate frogs what can you give to me?
What did you give to me?
What did you give to me?
What did you give to me?

Plague Of Ghosts: (iv) Waving At Stars 03:12
You cracked up too soon before the punchline hit home and at the end of the joke did you notice that no-one was laughing with you 

You were out on your own
Waving at trains, waving at cars, waving from bars, waving from aeroplanes
might as well be waving at stars

You called out her name as the darkness hit home,
raised up your Zippo and opened the skies till the crowd melts away,
at the end of the day, you ran out of light
Praying for rain, praying for signs, praying for time, praying for endless night,
might as well be wishing on stars
 🠹 

 🠹 
Plague Of Ghosts: (v) Raingods Dancing 04:16
Empty churches, empty pews,

in the subway nothing moves and the static on the radio is drowning out the sound of Raingod's dancing
Empty playgrounds, empty bars,
I can't remember how it was before the flood when all I had to do was recognise the love that's trapped inside

I gave it all, I took it back and in the end there's nothing left except a shell
surrounding emptiness and loneliness, a core of pain
I see my pathway shining

Raingods with Zippo's, a tinman hides a broken heart
Raingods with Zippo's, he knows the flame has gone that soon he'll fall apart

So I lay me down to lie and with the rain my lullaby I drift away to dreamless sleep,
leave behind a life that died, a victim of a Plague of Ghosts
I was wrapped up in my guilt buried deep within my memories,
a shelter of self-pity that I know the rain will wash away, I sense the storm arriving

Raingods with Zippo's, a tin man rusts away and slowly falls apart
Raingods with Zippo's and all he leaves behind a bleeding broken heart

Plague Of Ghosts: (vi) The Wake-Up 03:31
(vi) The Wake-Up Call (Make It Happen)
In the end I found beginnings, not a vision, a wake up call 

raised from the dead by a beating heart and at last I can see it all
and my eyes were opened to the darkness, in my hand a burning flame
a spark of life to touch the fuse and blow these clouds away
I can make it happen, if I want to
Make it happen, if I try
Forgive, forget, forever never means as much as it does today
make it happen, we can make it happen, we can make it happen

When I wake up, will you be there? It can never be the same
If we can take our lives slowly, step by step, we can be dancing in the rain
We can make it happen, we can make it happen, make it happen
forgive, forget, forever means today, make it happen, we can make it happen
We can make it happen, forgive, forget, forever means today
Make it happen
