Towards The Skies (Konas) Ah ... Towards the skies Ah ... Towards the skies Turn your face to the wall That's where I'll be In the crack of the paint My eyes you'll see Locked away in my mind I must be free Reason with myself I find Life is treating me unkind Run the fields of green And touch the ground Zipping on my ears To hear a sound Picking things to see Up from the ground |

Candles Getting Shorter (Hensley/Konas) And the candle's getting shorter And the flame has nearly gone You didn't love me like you Ought to have done Why do I, why do I keep on crying Why do I, why do I keep on crying How long will the sadness last Will it be too long before it's past How I’ve been so Hopelessly out class Since our love died I've cried and cried and I cried Since our love died I've cried and cried and I cried It doesn't really matter If I wake one day and find You didn't want to stay My heart will just go on pretending That I didn't love or Want you anyway, no |

You're My Life (Konas/Kerslake) You're my life, you're my heart In my dreams you play a part When I wake everyday I think of words that you say I'll never find a girl Sweeter in this world I've gotta find a way The thing to you I say You’re my blood in my veins You're my life, you'll never change You're my life, you're my heart In my dreams you play a part You're my life, you're my heart I’ll never find a girl You're my life, you're my heart Sweeter in this world You're my life, you're my heart Gotta find a way You're my life, you're my heart The thing to you I say |

Looking Glass (Konas/Hensley) When she looks in The looking glass on the wall She can see she’s The fairest of them all Makes me do anything Has me on a string And there isn’t anything I can do La la la la la la ... She’s there on a place No-one else above There’s no chance of her loving me The way I love her What in the world is left to do She’s crying out for someone new And there isn’t anything I can do La la la la la la ... |

Misleading Colours (Konas/Kerslake) Misleading colours Misleading colours Misleading colours For the eye to see Raving colours going ‘Round my mind Filling my eyes till I go blind Colours are followed by the score My eyes can't focus anymore Wishing a wish that won't come true Doing things that you want to do Seeing prisms yet to come Knowing that it's just begun Misleading colours ... |

Radio Show (Sugarman/Robertson) I got a car and I drive it All night in the rain A little blue horn and I’ll blow it again and again I go so quickly, quickerly, quickly I saw a fire in the night As I drove down the lane A little red house was ablaze As I tore down the lane I go so quickly, quickerly, quickly Would you believe me if I said I’m losing my mind Would you believe me if I said I’m losing my mind You can win a candy On a fluorescent one-armed bandit Here in Andrew’s Nickel Bar If your alligator shoes can dance The mashed potato blues You’re a dandy, yes you are You can buy a custom-built Banana Wonder Sundae Here in Andrew’s Nickel Bar I can hear the pitter-pat of the rain I can hear the pitter-pat of the rain Again and again I can hear the pitter-pat of the rain |

Plastic Horizon (Sugarman/Robertson) Trying to see Trying to see tomorrow Listening to laughter Children who do not know why It was on my mind It’s on my mind Hey, we are not shadows That cling to each other Whose eyes are prisons of sleep Whose lips are heavy with dreams |

Farthing Man (Konas) Give a man a penny Give a man a penny Penny for the farthing man Treat him to a penny Treat him to a penny He will do what he can He will do what he can Little man, farthing man Will do just what he can Jump little man, jump high little man Try for another penny Laugh little man Laugh loud little man Or you won’t have any Or you won’t have any little man Farthing man is good For your last penny M an in the pouring rain Has got a wet head Something inside of him shows He’s never fed Though it may rain or snow He’s always out there Picking up pennies from people Who don’t really care |

I Never Know (Konas/Hensley) Never knew what time it was Till I saw you hanging around Never knew the time because My head was stuck deep In the ground Times were bad, had to be sad Times were cruel till I met you Hadn’t had a life, and then You turned the light into my eyes Now I no longer need a friend You are my true paradise Pink champagne drown my brain When one’s mind has no time "The Gods are managed by Dave Harvey ?" |

Time And Eternity (Konas/Kerslake) When you’re tired and blue Think of what to do You can’t explain your heart La la la la la la la la la Life has just begun I aim to touch the sun For money I am poorer La la ... My mind is travellin’ I know where it will be The tides are turnin’ Through time and eternity The day has broken through My mind is clear to you My life is just a ball La la ... |

Somewhere In The Street (Hensley) B-side of "Baby’s Rich" single, included as a bonus track on CD Somewhere in the street I saw a face I couldn't forget Later in that street I cried a tear of bitter regret I reached the place Where she stood Only a moment before Now there's no face Only lonely shadows And raindrops of tears I am so tired So tired of chasing A face in a dream Waiting and watching From a lonely window It's always the same |
