Sarah's Concern

Sarah is concerned, she isn't so sure it's right
The words that she learned were uttered again tonight

We are three
He, you and me
Just til the fire burns out

So Sarah decides that it would be wise to wait
She gathers her thoughts, endeavors to concentrate

We are three...

She looks to the man, the flickering torch, the knife
She raises her hand, she touches the blade, she cries

We are three...

Candlelight, fire and fleet
We remember the night of the three

He sees her concern, he beckons and Sarah turns
He steps in the fire, she closes her eyes and cries

We are three...

Marie Antoinette

Marie Antoinette, your name's a legend in this land
Treasure for your pleasure, bestowed on favoured gentlemen
The people are in arms, marching on the town
They rise chanting "Revolution! Viva la Nation!"

Marie Antoinette, your shadow's falling along the land
Anger born of hunger poisons the hearts of your loyal men
Fire in their eyes, steel in their hands
They rise chanting "Revolution! Viva la Nation!"

Clamouring in the square, the rabble have gone insane
They're over the balustrades, defying the cannon fire
They're into the garrison, they murder the noblemen
Marie Antoinette, Marie Antoinette

"We are the people of France we demand that the
Elegant blue-blooded leeches that bleed us
Are taught what it means to grow fat and not feed us!
We are the people of France, you must heed us!"

Already at the Bastille, the prisoners all run free
They're hammering on the door, Marie Antoinette
They've taken the guillotine, they're coming to take the Queen
Marie Antoinette, the King and the guards have fled

Marie Antoinette, your shadow's falling along the land
Anger born of hunger, poisoned your men
They rise chanting "Revolution! Viva la Nation!"

Melinda (More or Less)

Lovely lady falling laughing down the glory of a rainbow
Lovely lady reaching crying for the comfort of the day-glow
Melinda more or less, Melinda more or less in dreams

But if and when she wakes again, she knows it all begins again
Sleeping, waking, rising, falling, dumb but calling out to deafened friends
That's how it ends
Melinda more or less in dreams

Fade Melinda, fade into fantasy
Tell them you won't be played like any other instrument of fate
Fade Melinda, into your fantasy
Tell them you're not prepared to wait for your dream of the end
Melinda more or less in dreams

Lovely lady falling laughing down the glory of a rainbow
Lovely lady reaching screaming for the comfort of the day-glow
Melinda more or less, Melinda more or less

Not Quite the Same

Mavis couldn't quite make it on Saturday
Berryl was stuck on the tube from Victoria
Cheryl and the rest had all found new boyfriends
The only one left was the one in his head
So he busies himself, quite amusing himself, by abusing himself

All of his life he had wanted one true love
One girl he could worship all day out all night in
Alas all the girls he had met in his short life
Were girls who always quite looked like his dad's wife
So he busied himself, quite amusing himself, by abusing himself

Oh dear what a pity, a pity, what a shame, oh what a shame
Girls on glossy paper, never quite the same, not quite the same
Always saying sorry, never quite the same, not quite the same

Sitting one evening wrapped up in TV
His doggy insists that he must find a tree so he
Puts on his coat and he searches around for a
Platinum lighter he dropped on the ground and he
Bruises himself, where he uses himself, for abusing himself

Out in the park he was walking his doggy
He saw a young lady who made him feel soggy
He spoke to her softly, she made not a sound then
He realized that his match he had found,
She was losing herself, quite amusing herself, by abusing herself

Phantasmagoria

I bet you sometimes wondered what was standing right behind you
Keep looking over your shoulder to see if it's there
The solemn churchbell pealing, some Mephistophelean stealing
Quietly along through the night to hide under your bed

Don't ring for a taxi, don't call a policeman,
Don't ring for a doctor he'll just give you pills.
Don't hide in the cellar, you may not believe it
It's probably friendly, just alone like you

So if you get lonely, just think of the summer
And swimming in sky-blue, drift your mind away

You run upstairs and lie there waiting for the floor to creak and
Something comes bumpety-bumpety-bump up the stairs
The time has come to wonder who could be the owner of
That cold clammy hand that's exploring the end of the bed

So when the next time comes your feel you're being followed by a
Ghoul with a highly intelligent flair for a bet
Just turn and lead it by the hand and take it home and tell it,
"Take it from me that you need all the friends you can get!"

Whose Shoulder Are You Looking Over Anyway?

But I keep looking over my shoulder to see if it's there
But I keep looking over your shoulder to see if I'm there
"Oh, when I was a little Ghost, a merry time had we!
Each seated on his favourite post,
We chumped and chawed the buttered toast
They gave us for our tea."

Over and Above

One fine night I left my soul to journey on the wind
Far beyond the stars I watched to see where it would go
In the twilight realms of space
Spirits known but with no face
Eyes to see, no hands to place around the ether
Try and grasp the meaning, why and wherefore of this world

Rested for a while to see which way the wind would blow
Found ourselves, my soul and I, upon an unknown moon
Barren rocks and ashes strewn like the ashes of the mind
Soaring off once more to see if we could find there
Looking for a somewhere, something that would bring us peace

Watch the dawn of a distant sun, tells us now that our night has gone
Senses numbed by the blinding light, countless stars vanish into night
Far away on a distant star, midnight chimes to sleeping world
Far away on a distant star, life begins in a thousand years

Once a Ghost, Always a Ghost

Once upon a time I stumbled on a master plan
Better than a time'machine, simple to understand
Just consume a pint of this and one or two of these
Head in arm and hand in hand we'll haunt the seven seas

If you choose we can confuse your favourite enemy
Find a dungeon with a pungent tropicality
Waft about and groan a bit and make him feel at ease
Head in arm and hand in hand we'll haunt the seven seas
