The Forgotten Ones

 

Lyrics


 

A03.01 Into The Labyrinth

 

Written by Nik Kershaw

 


 

The muscle and the heat

The fossil and the beat

It seems to be following me around

It's that way

How do you know the way?

I'd simply rather stay

I can't tell the sky from the ground

And around and around and around we go again

I'm sure I saw some light

I know I'll get this tonight

Around and around and around we go again

Please everybody help me through

I didn't wanna come

Into the labyrinth

With both eyes open

Into the labyrinth

Like sheep into a pen

Into the labyrinth

The exits open

Into the labyrinth

Well I'm losing it again

The hurry and the haste

The worry and the waste

All striving for the taste of success

Through these doors

The welcome and the wars

The unforgotten cause

All stay away from yours

What a mess

And around and around and around we go again

There goes that light once more

What am I doing this for?

Around and around and around we go again

Would someone help me through?

I'm hanging while I waste

Into the labyrinth

With both eyes open

Into the labyrinth

Like sheep into a pen

Into the labyrinth

The exits open

Into the labyrinth

Well I'm losing it again

And around and around

Around and around

Into the labyrinth

With both eyes open

Into the labyrinth

Like Sheep into a pen

Into the labyrinth

The exits open

Into the labyrinth

I'm losing it again

Into the labyrinth

With both eyes open

Into the labyrinth

Like sheep into a pen

Into the labyrinth

The exits open

Into the labyrinth

Well I'm losing it again

 


 

A03.02 Passing Through

 

Written by Nik Kershaw

 


 

Where did we go wrong

We played around too long

Love was just around the corner

But we were too damn blind to see

How did we get here

With whispers so sincere

Oh us lying, was it me or you

Or were our whispers true, so true

So say goodbye to love, my love

It's only passing through

It leaves with me and it won't wait for you

What do I do now?

Do I dop my cap and bow ?

Say thanks for the coffee and fun and games

And then turn my back and go

Go again to love

Where your broken lovers glow

Am I just another notch upon your bedroom door

Or do I count for more, much more

So say goodbye to love, my love

It's only passing through

It leaves with me and it won't wait for you

It won't wait for you

Listen baby it won't wait for you

 


 

A03.03 Watch The Birdie

 

Written by Nik Kershaw

 


 

I am a camera and I've got my job to do

But it ain't easy taking pictures for the likes of you

You're always coming and going

And you're always making haste

We should be still for a minute

Show me a happy face

Gonna make you smile for me

Gonna make you stop for the camera

Gonna make you smile for me

Gonna make you forget your troubles for a second

Watch the birdie for me

What's all the hurry, are you scared of being happy and dull?

It's not that serious, shouldn't be here if you can't stay still

I don’t need clowns and grimaces

I don’t need sorrow or pain

I just need something nice

A trip down memory lane

Gonna make you smile for me

Gonna make you stop for the camera

Gonna make you smile for me

Gonna make you forget all your troubles for a second

Watch the bird........

Gonna make you smile for me

Gonna make you stop for the camera

Gonna make you smile for me

Gonna make you forget your troubles for a second

Watch the birdie for me

Watch the birdie for me

A03.06 Dream Street

 

Written by Nik Kershaw

 


 

They tell you were you are supposed to go

They tell you what you are to be

Never me

Never me

Cause what they all would really like to know

Is where I found my liberty

You and me

You're always free

On dream street

One and a million stars come to you while they sleep

On jewelled feet

Anything can come true

On dream street

Darling it's something

The crowd can cheer for you while they sleep

They're winning

I will be dreaming too

Imagination is our only need

They can't take that away from you

Very true

Very true

Soon that may be all we have left indeed

So close your eyes

You know what to do

Me and you

Love came true

On dream street

On dream street

On dream street

One and a million stars come to you while they sleep

On jewelled feet

Anything can come true

On dream street

Darling it's something

The crowds can cheer for you while they sleep

They're winning

I will be dreaming too

On dream street

One and a million stars come to you while they sleep

On jewelled feet

Anything can come true

On dream street

Darling it's something

The crowd can cheer for you while they sleep

They're winning

I will be dreaming too

 


 

A03.07 Promenading

 

Written by Nik Kershaw

 


 

Running with the night

Get out

Down to Knightsbridge

North of Old Mantons

Maybe we could go together

We make quite a twosome

We could take the tube to Sloane Square

We could dress up nice and paint your face

I don't care what you have just picked

Beautiful or gruesome

Walking down the King's Road

To see my baby stepping out in Chelsea

Walking down the King's Road

To see my baby stepping out with me

I always wanted to be promenading

Promenading...

Promenading...

Promenading...

Promenading...

Promenading...

Well I do like to be beside the seaside

If you're looking for someone to help to pass the time of night or day

There are people waiting there in coffee shops or diners

You may feel second best when flirty fashion models pass your way

Wait till they see you are a doll in your best dustbin liner

Walking down the king's Road

To see my baby stepping out with me

I always wanted to be promenading

Promenading...

Promenading...

Promenading...

Promenading...

Promenading...

Well I do like to be beside the seaside

Take care we'll be there one day

Where it's not all wine and roses

You'll find everyone's 19 and timing all the timeless poses

Anyone can walk

Anyone can talk

Anyone can smile

Anyone can run a mile

Anyone can pose in their fancy clothes

Anyone can feel stupid there

When life going's hard and night is steady

Work can come and go

Promenading

 


 

A03.08 Sophie's Killing Time Now

 

Written by Nik Kershaw

 


 

Sophie's wiping tears from a gig tonight

She's got nothing better to do

She's a live Russian cat in the candlelight

She's looking for a meaning for you

Oh perfect company of strangers

Who would die for those crocodile tears

But she knows and he knows it's all over now

She's been waiting for the devil for years

Sophie's killing time now

Sophie's killing time now

Sophie's killing time now

Sophie's killing time now

Sophie's seeing faces in the candle flame

She's got nothing better to see

Sees her victims and her enemies in the bars of the window

And these enemies are you and me

Oh but a chance to have her time again

She wouldn't do the same things twice

Killing jokes

Killing love

Killing everything

But she'd be careful if she couldn't be nice

Sophie's killing time now

Sophie's killing time now

Sophie's killing time now

Sophie's killing time now

It's true you can outgrow it

But she's still paying for it

Who's Sophie killing?, Who's Sophie killing now?

Who's Sophie killing?, Who's Sophie killing?

Sophie's killing time now

Sophie's killing time now

Sophie's killing time now

Sophie's killing time now

Sophie's killing time now

Sophie's killing time now

Sophie's killing time now

Sophie's killing time now

Sophie's killing time now

Sophie's killing time now

Sophie's killing time now

Sophie's killing time now

Sophie's killing time now

Sophie's killing time now

 


 

A03.09 The Optimist

 

Written by Nik Kershaw

 


 

Things are working pretty fine for you today

With tomorrow only 24 hours away

Everything's looking hunky dory

Don't worry

I don't want to be a prophet of doom

Tomorrow could be here too soon

When it comes it might be quite a different story

There's an aching in your body

And a pounding in your head

And you feel everyone's against you

And you might as well be dead

When your hopeless situation makes you jump about and curse

Don't despair and just remember things could always get much worse

No I don't want to be a prophet of doom

You know I don't want to be a bringer of doom

It's just the advice may come in useful one day

There's an aching in your body

And a pounding in your head

And you feel everyone's against you

And you might as well be dead

When your hopeless situation makes you jump about and curse

Don't despair and just remember things could always get much worse

There's an aching in your body

And a pounding in your head

And you feel everyone's against you

And you might as well be dead

When your hopeless situation makes you jump about and curse

Don't despair and just remember things could always get much worse

 


 

A03.10 Anyway

 

Written by Nik Kershaw

 


 

When I think about the times we had

Seems a hundred years ago

I can't believe those days are finally gone for good

When you believed in me through good and bad

How were you supposed to know?

That my soul was lost and my heart was made of wood

So soon did you really have to go?

I never wanted it

I never wanted this you know

Just one more minute and then you say

I didn't want to throw our love away

Oh no

I didn't want to throw our love away

And anyway

And if I knew then what I knew today

I wouldn't make the same mistakes

I'd be wise enough to know when things are right

And if I knew of any other way

If I had a little of what it takes

I'd think enough of us to make it work at light

And so before you say goodbye

It wasn't meant to hurt

It wasn't meant to make you cry

I know it's not much but hear me say

I didn't want to throw our love away

Oh no

I didn't want to throw our love away

Oh no

I didn't want to throw our love away

Oh no

I didn't want to throw our love away

Anyway

Anyway

 


 

A03.11 Georgia

 

Lyrics by Stuart Gorell

 


 

Georgia, Georgia

The whole day through

Just an old sweet song

Keeps Georgia on my mind

Yeah

Georgia

Georgia

A song of you

Comes as sweet and clear

As moonlight through the pines

Other arms reach out to me

Other eyes smile tenderly

Still in peaceful dreams I see

The road leads back to you

Georgia

Georgia

No peace I find

Just an old sweet song

Keeps Georgia on my mind

Other arms reach out to me

Other eyes smile tenderly

Still in peaceful dreams I see

The road leads back to you

Georgia

Georgia

No peace I find

Just this old sweet song

Keeps Georgia on my mind

This old sweet song

Keeps Georgia on my mind
