. . . Calling all stations . . .

Calling all stations

Can anybody tell me, tell me exactly where I am

I've lost all sense of direction

Watching the darkness closing around me

Feeling the cold all through my body

That's why I'm calling all stations 

In the hope that someone hears me

A single lonely voice



I feel the sensation disappearing

There's a tingling in my arms

And there's a numbness in my hands



All the broken promises

All my good intentions don't add up to very much

And I realise whatever happened, whatever happened

I remember all the moments that I've wasted in my life

All the things I was always gonna do

Why is it now when it's too late

That I've finally realised it's important to me

To think that everything that's dear to me 

And is always in my heart

Could so easily be taken 

And it's tearing me apart

Going over and over in my mind 

I relive it one second at a time



Calling all stations

Can anybody tell me, tell me exactly where I am

How different things look when your all on your own

Watching the darkness closing all around me 

All around me

And I'm lost with feeling 

Of your arms to remind me

Of everything that's dear to me 

And is always in my heart

Could so easily be taken 

And it's tearing me apart

Going over and over in my mind

I relive it one second at a time

Don't you know there's never been a moment

When I haven't had the thought

That everything that's dear to me 

And is always in my heart

Could so easily be taken 

And it's tearing me apart

Going over and over in my mind

I relive it one second at a time

As I sit here in the darkness 

Feeling so alone

And everything that's dear to me 

And is always in my heart...

You say that I put chains on you

But I don't think that's really true

But if you want to be free from me

You gotta lose me in another world



Send me to the Congo I'm free to leave

There's always somewhere anybody can lead

Send me to the Congo you have to believe

You can do it if you wanna just do what you please



Like a soldier ant

I will wait for the signal to act

To take a walk right through the door

If you don't want me here any more



Send me to the Congo I'm free to leave

There's always somewhere anybody can lead

Send me to the Congo you have to believe

You can do it if you wanna just do what you please



Into my heart you came 

And gave a whole new meaning to my life

Into my world you brought a light 

I thought it never would go out



Send me to the Congo I'm free to leave

There's always somewhere anybody can lead

Send me to the Congo you have to believe

You can do it if you wanna just do what you please



You can send me to the Congo I'm free to leave

There's always somewhere anybody can lead

Yes you can send me to the Congo, you have to believe

You can do it if you wanna just do what you please



I would never be the one to say you had no reason

To want me somewhere else far far away

But someday you may understand, someday you will see

That someone who would die for you is all I've ever been



Congo the Congo, if that's how it's got to be 

Congo the Congo, if that's what you want from me



I would never be the one to say you had no reason

To want me somewhere else far far away

Someday you may understand someday you will see...

I'm a million miles from anywhere, where can I be

Somewhere out on the ocean

Just take a look out on the horizon, what can you see

There's nothing there for me



I feel shipwrecked, I might as well be shipwrecked

I'm helpless and alone drifting out to sea

I can't believe what you said to me



Even standing on the corner of a busy city street

I still feel so lonely

Why do you say you want to be with me 

But the next day say you don't



I'm shipwrecked, I might as well be shipwrecked

I'm helpless and alone drifting out to sea

I can't believe what you said to me

Without you I feel shipwrecked

But I can't let it show

A million miles away from anywhere, ooh, ooh, ohh



Is it my imagination

Or is it getting darker, are the waves getting higher

I'm a million miles from anywhere

A million miles from anything I know



You know that's why I'm shipwrecked

I might as well be shipwrecked

I'm helpless and alone drifting out to sea

I can't believe what you said to me

You know that's why I'm shipwrecked, shipwrecked

Losing my direction

Please come and rescue me (shipwrecked)

Shipwrecked

Shipwrecked

Shipwrecked

Shipwrecked...

Woke up in the morning staggered out of bed

Thought about getting back again, but went downstairs instead

Read the daily paper have to know the truth

Slammed the door as I ran outside, looked at my watch and cried

Gotta get to work on time

Gotta get to work on time



Then the sky turned a deeper blue

Not a cloud as the sun shone through

But all around rain kept falling to the ground

The wind was blowing but the trees didn't make a sound

Just another alien afternoon

Just another alien afternoon



Time that I was leaving while there's still a chance

Before I start believing in what I see or hear

Nothing here to keep me, nothing anywhere

Gotta get out pack my bags before I go insane

Gotta get away in time

Gotta get away in time



Then the sky turned from blue to green

Took on colours I have never seen

Then a sound started ringing in my ears

I heard voices but in truth there's nobody there

Just another alien afternoon

Just another alien afternoon



To be there back where I belong

To feel again the wind upon my face

To see again all that I took for granted

All that I left and everything I knew



We are home

We are your home

We are all your home



Not another alien afternoon



Never more to go wandering 

Never leaving my world behind



There was never a reason 

To leave my heart and my home behind

Where I was born is where I should be now

I would never be lonely

I would never be sad again



I wanted to go anywhere

I wanted to see how strange it all could be

Nothing would ever take me away again

Never more to go wandering

Never leaving my world behind

No, no, no, no

Nothing will ever take me away again, away again

No, no, no, no

A little piece of something

Falling gently down down down

No one understands you like I do



I'd rather be beside you

Everything we know so well

Tell me what you feel now

Show me what you think of it



It's not about us anymore

It's all about the reasons 

That we think we're fighting for

It's not about hate 

It's not about pain we always feel

I know we have our problems 

But we're not the only ones

It's not about you it's not about me

It's not about anger 

It's more about the loneliness we feel



How can I begin to 

Ask for some forgiveness

For all that we have taken

There's nothing left now



Just a little piece of something

Falling gently down down down

No one understands you no no

Like I do

There's nothing left now



It's not about us anymore

It's all about the reasons 

That we think we're fighting for

It's not about hate 

It's not about pain we always feel

I know we have our problems 

But we're not the only ones

It's not about you it's not about me

It's not about anger 

It's more about the loneliness we feel



It's not about us

It's not about hate

It's more about the loneliness we feel, can you feel it

It's not about anger

It's not about wanting

I know we have our problems

But we're not the only ones, we're not the only ones

It's not about you, it's not about me...

Talking makes us human that's what I was told

So why do I find it so difficult to let my feelings unfold

Had I the courage to tell you I'd promise you this



If that's what you need

I'll be the river I'll be the mountain always beside you

If that's what you need

I will be stronger I will be braver than ever before



When you came along and turned it all around

I promised myself I wouldn't tell you

Until we stood on solid ground

Holding the candle between us I'll tell you this



If that's what you need

I'll be the river I'll be the mountain always beside you

If that's what you need

I will be stronger I will be braver than ever before



And if there's any kind of danger

I hear you calling out my name

You can follow in my footsteps

And I will lead you safely back again



I never understood you however hard I tried

But it took me a while until I realised

That all the problems were mine

Holding you nearer to me to tell you this



If that's what you need

I'll be the river I'll be the mountain always beside you

If that's what you need

I will be stronger I will be braver than ever before

And when things go wrong

I'll be your conscience there to remind you all of your life

When you go wrong

I'll be the reason you'll be protected all of your days

There has always been a dividing line

But you choose, you choose, yes you choose not to see it

And then you wonder why you fall

It cuts through the heart of every city

If you climb to the top of the highest building

You can see where it falls 'cause the streetlights stop 

The colours start to change

You hear a voice inside you

Not the words that you wanted to hear

Not the things that you wanted to see hey, hey, hey, hey



In the comfort and safety of your own home

Remember those outside in the cold 

And the wind and the rain

And take in your hands a little ray of light

And turn it into a beam that pierces the darkness of the night



There has always been a dividing line

But you choose, you choose, yes you choose not to see it

Sometimes we believe if we close our eyes 

The rain might wash it away

That's why we stumble and we fall

Not the words that you wanted to hear

Not the things that you wanted to see hey, hey, hey, hey



When everything that you hold dear to you

Has finally faded away from your life

The last cold ray of sunshine slowly disappears

Round the corner of the building

And leaves you alone

When darkness covers the city and the streets are silent too

What will you turn to...

A day of uncertain weather

Captured in a frame forever

A face in a faded photograph



He must have had a life

Maybe with a family

People who meant everything to him



A sinner, a saint, a soldier

Caught up in a war he never 

Had a chance to start or build a life



All gone long ago

Leaving no trace 

Disappearing like smoke in the wind

To become just a face without a name

Leaving no trace 

Disappearing like smoke in the wind



Hopes and fears important plans 

Forgotten memories

Footsteps fading in the sand, ooh

Schemes and dreams small and grand 

Nothing left to see

Footsteps fading in the sand, ooh



Someone who cast a shadow 

Maybe just a lazy man

Doesn't make much difference now it's true



A day of uncertain weather

Captured in a frame forever

A face in a faded photograph



All gone long ago

Leaving no trace 

Disappearing like smoke in the wind

To become just a face without a name

One more to add to the total

Of those never heard of again



Yes he's gone 

Just a face without a name

Leaving no trace 

Disappearing like smoke in the wind

All gone 

Just a face without a name

Leaving no trace 

Disappearing like smoke in the wind...

Don't talk back to me, don't talk back to me

Don't talk back to me, don't talk



Going round in circles, hearing too many points of view

Just words to tire me out, small talk I could do without

I would be amazed if you returned to see things my way

Now that you've been disrespectful to my sense of pride



Isn't it a shame that you were lying when you said to me (small talk)

I was the only one, you and I were meant to be

I expect you'll never really feel the way that I do

All of this is with regret, I'm sure you will agree



Say something to me, anything at all

I want you to mean what you say

I've seen all I want to see, and you mean the world to me

I've lived for each moment to be with you, with you, with you



Small talk, small talk, small talk, small talk



You say I don't talk enough, that applies to both of us

Don't try to sound me out, something I could do without

So much goes on inside your head, I often wonder

Have you heard enough to know, there's nothing left to say



Say something to me, anything at all

I want you to mean what you say

I've seen all I want to see, and you mean the world to me

I've lived for each moment to be with you, with you, with you



Small talk

Small talk

Ooh small talk

That's all I ever hear

Small talk



I'll be alright

It may take sometime

But I'll be alright (don't talk back to me)

I'll be alright (don't talk back to me) (don't want to be alone, nothing worth to carry on)

I'll be alright (don't talk back to me) (try hard to understand, you won't seem to lend a hand)

I'll be alright (don't talk back to me) (without you'll fail to see, you never spare a thought for me) 

I'll be alright (don't talk back to me) (so many things you said, going round in circles)

I'll be alright (don't talk back to me) (I'll rise above it all, enough to see another day)

I'll be alright 

I'll be alright

Don't talk back to me...

You're no longer part of my life

I must remind myself again

Too much has happened to us to cause eachother pain

It's over now, there's too much guilt to share

Once there would have been a time for talking and learning



There must be some other way

To get where we have to go

There must be some other way

Please show me another way

Once it would have been so easy, to do what we have to do

There must be some other way

Please show me another way



Are we no more than parts in a play

Letting other people, strangers say our lines?

To think it should come to this, after all these years

What was mine and what should stay behind

Once there would have been a time of sharing, of caring



There must be some other way

To get where we have to go

There must be some other way

Please show me another way

Once it would have been so easy to do what we have to do (there must be some other way)

There must be some other way

Please show me, show me another way...



------



There's nothing much left to say

We have said it once and said it all again

This time we have gone too far, it could never be the same

It's time to carry on create new lives

Once we promised we would stay together forever



There must be some other way

To get where we have to go (there must be some other way)

There must be some other way

Please show me another way

Once it would have been so easy to do what we have to do (what we have to do)

You know there must be some other way

Please show me another way

You know there must be another way

Please show me, show me another way (there must be some other way)

You know there must be some other way...

As the buildings crumble, tumble to the ground

And the dust-filled smoke rises in the air

You know that somebody somewhere looks with pride, they're satisfied



To all who think they know

To everyone that knows that they're right

D'you ever wonder why

D'you never ask the question even in the depths of night?



Now as the daylight fading ends another day

For too many life will never be the same

And it is all for the reason they will never understand



To all who think they know

To everyone that knows that they're right

D'you ever wonder why

D'you never ask the question even in the depths of night?



And on the morning after do you realise

See the ruined faces and the ruined lives

Inside your head do you never have the thought a moment of doubt?



To all who think they know

To everyone that knows that they're right

D'you ever wonder why

D'you never ask the question even in the depths of night?



There are only dreams one like any other

What means the earth to one or few means nothing to another

There are only dreams like any other



Drawing lines upon the sand, on the land, on the sea

Then dying to defend them seems quite meaningless to me



Don't you know what means the earth to some or only one

Can mean just nothing nothing nothing to another



There are only dreams like any other 

There are only differences, worth living but not dying for



One man's joy makes another man weep

Nothing you can do is ever gonna change it

One man's saint is another man's fool

One man's hot is another man's cool



And when the war is over, won

Will there be peace for evermore?



Statues carved right out of stone, out of wood, made from gold

Praying for their mercy that won't save their souls



Don't you know what means the earth to some or only one

Can mean just nothing nothing nothing to another



There are only dreams like any other

There are only hopes and beliefs one like any other (there are only dreams like any other)

Worth living but not dying for

Living but not dying for not killing for

There are only dreams like any other like any other



To all of those who think that they know

All I can say yes all I can say



One man's joy makes another man weep

Nothing you can do is ever gonna change it

One man's saint is another man's fool

One man's hot is another man's cool



There are only dreams like any other

There are only hopes and beliefs, one like any other

There are only dreams like any other...
