Tourniquet

Pushing too hard - trying to hard
Force against force - negates itself
You grind and you grind
Time after time

So tightly wound so tightly bound
A strangling sound - ground to the ground
Unwind and unfurl
Unwind and uncurl

Land locked - turned to rock
Land locked - your power blocked
You grind and you grind
Running blind - running blind

Constrictor of thought - constrictor of breath
Toiling a square with a circular peg
You grind and you grind
Running blind - running blind

Land locked - turned to rock
Land locked - your power blocked
Stem the flow - tourniquet
Wind and you bind
Time after time

Pushing too hard - trying too hard
Force against force - negates itself
You grind and you grind
Time after time

Stem the flow - dam the tide
Turn the screw - turn the screw

Further nearer

Nowhere nearer we have travelled
Nearer further from the start
Somewhere distant waiting close at hand
Further nearer to the stop

It's not all we ever wanted
We could want for nothing else
It's not all we ever wanted
We could want for nothing else

Out of sight and right in front of us
Sooner longer still to go
Reaching out to touch horizon
Sooner longer than you know

It's not all we ever wanted
We could want for nothing else
It's not all we ever wanted
We could want for nothing else

If the skies should snow in summer
Back beyond and on the brink
Falling up a moving mountain
Now is later than you think

Nowhere nearer we have travelled
Nearer further from the start
Somewhere distant waiting close at hand
Further nearer to the stop

It's not all we ever wanted
We could want for nothing else
It's not all we ever wanted
We could want for nothing else

It's not all we ever wanted
We could want for nothing else

City Island

Drowning in a crowd
Drowning in the sound
An island from within
Silence flooding in

I am silent
I am still
I am silent
Island within

Silent as a shrine
Whirling mists of time
Silent as the snow
Falling snow on snow

I am silent
I am still
I am silent
Island within

Ticker-tape parade
Cities held at bay
Echoes of the snow
Fade in afterglow

Tantara!

Through the streets and thoroughfares
Fanfare is everywhere
Now is here and then is gone
Time to dazzle and move on

Tantara to begin - tantara start again
Tantara in a throng - tantara everyone

Don't be lame don't be limp
Don't be dowdy don't be meek
I'm in no mood to sit and weep
Coloured lights and high jinks

Tantara with a flair - tantara if you dare
Tantara anywhere - tantara everywhere

It's a toast and not a boast
With a swagger to the host
It's a party a pageantry
To celebrate our clarity

Hour zero by jingo
A new day fandango
Now is here and then is gone
Time to dazzle and move on

Tantara euphoric - tantara mesmeric
Tantara to begin - tantara start again

Say Yes!

No more maybe
No more could be
Say Yes!

Around the world

Desert sand
Ocean deep
Forest land
Mountain peek

Boat
Train
Car
Plane

Got to get there
Running late
Are we there yet?
I can't wait

Boat
Train
Car
Plane

Around the world
Around the clock
Back through time
Future shock

Seven tears

Seven seas in seven tears
Seven hours in seven years
Seven ships set seven sails
Seven armies in seven gales
Seven tears, seven slaves
Seven wonders, seven graves
seven whalers, seven sins
seven virtues, seven fins
Ho! Heave Ho!

Fathoms deep indigo
Knots & leagues of azure road
All the oceans - some stories told
It's in the heavens - seven fold
Tidal tsunami
Crashing white horses
Roller breaker
White capped sky scraper
Ho! Heave Ho!

Seven seas in seven tears
Seven hours in seven years
Clipper ship & galleon
Oil tanker, submarine
King Canute before the tide
King Canute was very wise
Nothing matters king or queen
Nothing stops the seven seas
Seven seas in seven tears
Seven hours in seven years
seven tears seven tears
Ho! Heave Ho!
Ho! Heave Ho!

Godzilla!

I never wanted a spinning top
I used to swing a riding crop
I never wanted a stupid doll
I used to swing a tomahawk
And then I saw him and I was won
Godzilla, King Kong

Godzilla
He trashes cars
Godzilla
He's not from Mars
He'll knock you down
Godzilla
He eats big towns

I like the way he jumps up and down
I like the way he shakes the ground
He's even better when he's annoyed
He breaths out fire and makes this noise

I'd like to hold him in my palm
I'd never let him come to harm

Godzilla
He trashes cars
Godzilla
He's not from Mars
Godzilla
He'll knock you down
Godzilla
He eats big towns


Godzilla
Ha
Godzilla
Ha

What is that?
What is this?
A giant Monster
But he's so sweet!

When I'm in Tokyo or Japan
I'm always think of him it's his land
The other toys are second best
Godzilla, I love him best

Godzilla
He trashes cars
Godzilla
He's not from Mars
Godzilla
He'll knock you down
Godzilla
He eats the towns
Godzilla
He trashes cars
Godzilla
He's not from Mars
Godzilla
He'll knock you down
Godzilla
He eats big towns

Imagoro

It only hurts now and then
From sunrise to sunset
It's a long time since I saw you last
Thank you for your kindness

Sleepwalking barefoot
Dangerous thought
In a looking glass ghost story
I wonder if for the first time
At the looking glass welcome party

It only hurts now and then
From sunrise to sunset
It's a long time since I saw you last
