Night Of A Thousand Furry Toys.

(Wright, Anthony Moore)

(The voice of Anthony Moore is heard 'on the telephone').

Now you feel it, a shiver and you begin

Frozen breath that scrapes across the skin

And a sound you've never heard before, you screaming.

Welcome to the world of random noise

Where you simply haven't got a choice

When they push your levers and pull your strings.

It's another world, it's a better world that we bring.

Here you are on the planet of hot and cold

Where you'll do exactly as you're told.

In a world of a 1000 furry toys

You can hear the screams

Of little girls and boys

It's a charming noise

If you really want that kind of thing, mama.

Now you feel it, a shiver and you've bequn

When they pull those strings how you'll start to run!

And there's no stepping off or stepping down.

It's another world and it's a better world,

That's what we have found.

Hidden Fear.

(Wright, Gerry Gordon)

Why do we feel this adult pain

And hold these secrets that don't belong?

This loneliness has no place with us

The silence grows, it has no place with life.

You outward joy holds back the fears

Which deepen inside of us.

We travel all alone

And carry the guilt of those who disappear.

Our childlike hopes,

In disarray

This pain no child should feel

We disappear.

Runaway.

(Anthony Moore)

Unfair Ground.

Woman Of Costum.

(Anthony Moore)

Woman of custom just severed ties

What had never changed had always died so

Suddenly she's opened eyes that

Fill with tears and come alive

Her stifled love sleeping forever was

Unaroused like changeless weather

And little chance that she was ever

Going to smash the precious measure

She never lived with pain, fear or anger

Windowless and tame like a precious stone langoured

A heart enchained, willing to surrender

But now if storms would only blow

She could really feel the roll.

Those years of sleep, all waking dreams

Unpeopled places on painted screens

And diffused in subdued streams

Her life was cast, traditional schemes.

She never lived with pain, fear or anger

Windowless and tame like a precious stone langoured

A heart enchained, willing to surrender

But now if storms would only blow

Then she could really feel the roll

She could really feel the roll.

"A hunger that lasts can have no pain",

It's just these words that don't explain.

Eaten alive and spat aout again

They jam in the memory like ancient remains.

Woman of custom just severed ties

What had never changed had always died so

Suddenly she's opened eyes that

Fill with tears and come alive.

Far From The Harbour Wall.

(Wright, Anthony Moore)

A part of herself, she thought love was dying,

The game of opposites, a hateful lie.

She can't hang on at all, she's giving up the fight.

She's locked in a wall of ice,

Through half the day and half the night

On a path that's been prescribed.

Nothing comes, but she can't leave her life

Or hear the falling rain, or the heart race in her.

And dark as it grows at night, with fear of light's change

She's drowning away

In what she can do and what she contains

And her heart is so low.

Now, beacuse I could not cope with pain,

How things are not the same, she's got no remedies.

A heartbreaking fall and I fear a change of course

I feel like we were born insane,

I hear the love, I fear the love

For the heart is so low, see how it grows apart.

And deep from the other side, we live our lives so plain

We have no night, we have no day, we have no falling rain.

Not love in our eyes, not love in our stare

Felt more like inner sea, had no quality

So say those who drown at night

Far from the harbour wall, far from the harbour wall.

Drowning.

(Wright)

Instrumental.

Reaching For The Rail.

(Wright, Anthony Moore)

I'm ill with a fever, I feel like a child

I lay in the dark 'til morning came.

It's so unoriginal

And I feel it worse at nigth

I know it's not terminal

But I'm near half-dead with fright

And freezing cold.

But sooner than wake up

To find it all unchanged

I'll sleep through the day til the daylight ends.

'Cos it's all so familiar

As it comes around again

The same taste to everything

The same unbroken chain

That still remains.

With morning I rise,

A dream that won't leave me,

You're sad, naked and pole

And you're reaching for the rail

You took a look inside, how could you peel away

Or break the shell, the hurt you've hidden so well

For all your days.

And you're going down

As you slip beneath the waves,

Won't make a sound

Won't even leave a trace before you.

I hear an appaling sigh from the street below

And it's creeping fear congealed in stone

That paves the crazy road.

And all are succumbing and they look so hopelessly

At the heartbreak, it's easy to deal with,

Just take these and you'll really never feel it.

Blue Room In Venice.

(Wright, Gerry Gordon)

I can see you through a pool of darkness

I strecth out my hand to reach you

I know you are there

So please look at me

How I've missed you

How I've missed love

My hand is here

If you still know me

Then touch my fingertips

I see the waters move above your face

I feel your naked hand

Please don't let go again

Your sacrifice

That meant so much

Left us with no place to stand

Please let me touch

And let me near

Let me near.

Sweet July.

(Wright)

Instrumental.

Along The Shoreline.

(Wright, Anthony Moore)

You feel her warmth, feel it like a summer day

Shining from, the cloudless sky, it lights her way.

With darkness gone, like a distant road

We travelled it all night until the morning rose.

Now we're turning, towards the sun, unfolding everyday

From out behind, the clouded mind,

With more than words can say.

We're half-naked souls and a harmony

Is a song of tears, all washed into the sea,

As we stand along the shoreline.

We were cut off from our lives, by a wall of pain,

It can't be seen, it's so routine, it has no face or name.

But now the day has broken, can see in better ways,

A path leading to the light, a hope that never fades,

All power to the brave.

You feel her warmth, feel it like solar rays,

See how, they kindle fire, illuminate her face.

Free as the sunlight that shines down from above,

That opens us all to feel love.

Breakthrough.

(Wright, Anthony Moore)

I can take or leave it, won't be the woebegone,

Don't need a model universe to hang your pictures on.

You hide somewhere, you die somewhere

And then this senseless thought,

By hating more you're feeling more

And that's how you get caught.

They're never going to make it easy

Of this you can be sure.

I greet you from your wilderness,

I'll stay inside your door.

There is no cage or prison, they have no fence too tall,

You die more times than anyone, there's still no place to fall.

They're never going to keep it simple

This comes down from above.

I have no helm, no secret realm,

I dream to be at the heart of love, a part of love.

I bet you can conceal it, but that's just a dead-end track,

I'll cover you like the driven snow and then I'll bring you back.

You'll see! you feel like, you feel like a banner,

Unfurled and gently blown,

And there before your opening eyes

The self you've never known.

They're never going to make it easy

Of this you can be sure

You feel untied, beatified

And loved for evermore.
