Gentle Giant

Run, why should I run away When at the end the only truth certain - One day everyone dies - If only to justify life. Live, I've lived a thousand lives; And anyone is the right, the just life. If I could cry, I'd cry for everyone. Doubts, no doubt, is all I k...

Meeting in this way who could have known How our destinies and ways apart have grown. Looking still the same after all these years changing only in my memories not clear And believing all futures we would share Fate design playing natures mime and today by...

There coming over Charaton Bridge Look do you see the man who is poor but rich. What do you wish; and where do you go; Who are you; where are you from: will you tell me your name? Rest awhile; call me your friend. Please stay with me I'd like to help. Then he...

Lying still; Am I dreaming Feel the chill Breath of fear Evil fingers Hover, linger Someone help me Terror fills my soul. Living dead; Am I breathing Sightless, blind Heart stopped beating Hear the crying Of the dying Someone help me Terror fills my soul.  

Lying down here in the afternoon In my pretty cosy little cushioned room I can talk to all my funny friends in here I was told to rest why ... I am not quite clear Eating flowers growing in the garden where there are tasty tulips and I don't care If I wet my t...

There's a cat prowling through the streets at night And she's black and her eyes are burning yellow fierce and bright The lights are darkened; Senses sharpened; Wide awake As she acts out her past of Jungle days When the night was her friend in many other dif...

Shuffling down the street with his sideways feet, Stopping now and then and he'll stop again, No doubt in his mind where he's going. He doesn't care for his hair or his teeth And if the truth were known he's a bit of a thief, Innocently lies, and it's showing...

The moon is down Casting its shadow over the night-haunted town Mystical figures under the silence of light The trembling air Drifts slowly unseen over the houses there And echoes changing into the voices of night On the edge of twilight whispering Whisper,...

Once I was a boy, an innocent to life and my role in it, This world played my game, and anyone a clown or foil for myself. The harmless affairs, and no-one seemed to care for any meaning My life was my own, The debt I paid, I paid it only to myself. The unse...

Rests where he's staying, nowhere he knows, A place where nobody cares where he's straying or where he goes. To find no-one in particular, footloose, adventure still, No thoughts for reasons, he does all he's doing Has time to kill and still he's killing t...

I'm sorry to have been so much of a bore But in my own funny way I find I learn much more. I realise what you think from your eyes, But in your own funny ways I find I learn much more. My ways are strange They'll never change They stay, strange ways I'm sorr...

The birth of a realisation; The rise of a high expectation; Emerging successful, defiant; Together the parts make a Giant. See the world in the palm of his hand, Striding steps that will cover the land. He is coming; Hear him coming; Are you ready For his bei...

I lost my head, it was not easy, unknown, unread, it wasn't easy, and each day, each night, wasn't wrong, nor right, I can't remember what I said I lost my head. What will I feel maybe tomorrow, but time not real, hours I can borrow, so until for now,...

Looking through the window can you tell me what you see. You're sure you're really seeing what is meant to be a Glass a mirror to reflect what I conspire a vision, image I desire. Standing on the ice believing all I'm searching for Close your cloudy eyes and...

Isn't it quiet and cold walking all alone, alone? Happened I missed the bus and found I had to walk, alone. What was that? Only me. Hear the echo of my feet Footsteps Are they mine? Hear the echo of the street. Wished I lived near at hand although I live alo...

Looked in the papers, looked in the magazines Wanted to find out, to know. Was there an answer, was there really something. Hidden beneath them below. Searched in the light and underneath the pictures. Something was written there. And through the smiles and un...

Strange though we made it In those days that were bare What pulled us through them Something was there I can remember, drifting apart Thoughtless ways much stronger As the time grew longer One for one not always Then you said to me It's only goodbye...

All in all each man in all men All men in each man. He can see she can't, she can see she can see whatever, whatever. You may know what I don't know, but not that I don't know it and I can't tell you so you will. To tell me all man in all men All men in each...

Look around my rooms and see the prizes I have showing Working hard to build my life and plan the way I'm going House and car and pretty wife - they've all been won by knowing All been won by knowing All been won by knowing. Paperwork, white collared shirts -...

Now she sits by the riverside Watching the waters glide by With a sigh And the things she put faith in Are ripples just waving her by With a sigh She sees lovers pass by with much more than a kiss Ah this is a girl who had everything Finds she's nothi...

How can I laugh or cry When my mind is sorely torn? Badabec had to die Fair Pantagruel is born Shall I weep, yes, for why? Then laugh and show my scorn Born with a strength untold Foreseen to have great age Set in Gargantuan mould, Joyful laugh, yet...

Free from the start - Left to depart - Finding the pleasure and the pain in his art. Lost in the hush - No need to rush - Time waits for him, him who creates with the brush. Colour the brush. High in the air - His dreams are there - Searching for answers he w...

Why do you question When there's no answer told? Plain truth is nothing You can't buy it when it's sold Save all your money And they won't reason why Why all the worry? They'll spend it when you die Don't look for something Plain truth is nothing, nothing bu...

Three friends are made, three lives are laughs and tears Through years of school and play they share As time stands still the days change into years And future comes without a care. But fate and skill and chances play their part The wind of change leaves no g...

Gather round the village square Come good people both wretched and fair. See the troubadour play on the drum Hear my songs on the lute that I strum. I will make you laugh, Revel, Merry-dance. Throw your pennies, then you'll hear more of the story-telling half....

Touching the last of what is past Moving silent water fell the first that comes. Slow and winding, flowing free Peaceful music in its sound of distant drums. Trust the shallow virgin stream Danger wild, beware the deeper it becomes. Moving highway, twisting b...

The bell rings And all things Are calling The days past The play's cast Remember September When we were Together Together Together Schooldays the happy days when we were going nowhere Schooldays the happy time when we were feeling no care Schooldays when thre...

The room and street are known only to me and a few I won't tell nobody A place to meet where no-one can tell you what to do I won't tell nobody Here, Awake in sleep Together My time is spent in chains and confusion in my head I don't tell nobody I keep my pai...

And the horse riding up through the red skies The moon is down With a gold coloured bird through the cloud flies The moon is down Look East to the Sun, Oh where do they run Look East to the Sun, Oh where do they run They live in my dreams, in my dreams, in my...

He is the runaway, Lie low the wanted man Mask his elusive face, Soon he will getaway and free is his future no more aimless time to spend And evading, he's escaping Four dirty walls and a bed in a cage his home no more. Run in the underwood, Cover and hide t...

Why am I using words, no more to say without you Close the door, put out the lights and go. Late in the night, in the night your shadow falls between us. Nevermore, never know. There, memories are sorrow, When there's no tomorrow. Sleep while the sweet sorro...

Once three friends Sweet in sadness Now part of their past. In the end Full of gladness Went from class to class. 

You'll find an answer, You've got to believe in your own way of life. So you'll have to find an answer, You'll have to find a way, Try to find, Try to find. You'll try to question her, Does she believe in the choice of your life. So you have to try to ask her...

Don't sing a tune to yourself You might believe this one. Try not to sew it yourself The threading won't stretch none. Don't give me none of that line. Why not? Got to sing something. Love's song there's nothing to find Why not? Dead before playing. Don't sin...

Working all day, I'm digging up the roads, just working all day Dig for my pay and spend it where I like. I've nothing to say Drown in my sweat but money buys escape. I've got no regrets Working all day Working all day When I was young I used to have illusion...
