@ALBUM: WORK OF HEART

All lyrics by Roy Harper

@SONG: DRAWN TO THE FLAMES

I've loved you
You've loved me
Just for one split second
In a universe of chance
It was all we could be

I hold you
You hold me
Underneath the stars
And spinning never quite free

Through all the trials and tribulations
Here in Mushroom Valley in the sun
Hold tight darling - here we go
The trip has hardly begun
Higher and higher
Drawn to the flames
Till the spirit
Metaphysic
Turns the lights out on the games

Dear Water World
Is there any blame
If your sons and daughters
Did away with living quarters
And any other bridges that came

Especially
When we all can see
Compassion in a plum tree
And a place alongside Heaven
For the truest, truest anarchy

Through all the trials and tribulations
Here in Mushroom Valley in the sun
Hold tight darling - here we go
The trip has hardly begun
Higher and higher
Drawn to the flames
Till the spirit
Metaphysic
Turns the lights out on the games

@SONG: JACK OF HEARTS

I dream of a girl
The sweetest reflection of earth
Uncluttered by chains of demands of a world
That leaves her restless as the sky
Wandering and wondering why

And she travels alone
Towards me across the unknown
And just for a moment I believe she's the one
To keep my lips in overdrive
Consuming me I burn alive
Any time she needs me
I'll be by her side
Just as long as she can help me
To stem the flowing tide

The Jack of Hearts
He stole the tarts
He stole them away
On a long summer day

No woman is safe
No woman is safe within reach
No woman is safe within reach of my heart

And though she'd maybe never tell you so
She'd sure be living with a man apart
But any time she needs me
I'll be by her side
Just as long as she can help me
To stem the following tide

No woman is safe
No woman is safe within reach
No woman is safe within reach of my heart

@SONG: I AM A CHILD

I am a child
I am a sanctuary
Wild at my mother's knee
Freedom has a piece of me
Every night I run away
Loose the nooses and drift astray
Chasing dreams into outer space
Trying to face
The day

Living life
Against the law
Forcing us all to endure
Sneaking home to close the door
Every night we run away
Loose the nooses and drift astray
Chasing dreams into outer space
Trying to face
The day

Every night we do our best to lose it
Skinning up and chasing better days
Getting up and moving to the music
O dance my darling lady fair
My darling mayflower
Show me just how much you dare
Forget our daytime labour

We're in the wind
You feel us in the breeze
Teaching leaves
To grow the trees
Smoothing
Daytime memories
And every night we run away
Loose the nooses and drift astray
Chasing dreams into outer space
Trying to face
The day

@SONG: WOMAN

Out on the street
Hung in the mid-air
Freer than last year
But still caught in a snare
Stumbling through
Collisions of roles
O how we suffer
Saving our souls

Woman I couldn't let you be
Any less free than me
Woman
Please don't feel so alone
Woman
Now you're out on your own
Woman I couldn't let you be
Any less free than me

Out of my hands
And into your arms
Together we weather
The gathering storms
Woman
On our own terms
A flash in your smile
A touch in your eyes
A taste of desire
New romantic surprise

Woman I couldn't let you be
Any less free than me
I am not a number
I am a free
Woman
At last we can dance
Mother; mother; mother

@SONG: I STILL CARE

Even though you drive me crazy
Even though we never last
Though the meaning's getting hazy
And our purpose here seems past
Can we really shed
All those memories we've had
Do we scatter all the pieces
Leave no traces
Torn forever to a shred

Once upon a time I loved you
How the hell did we get here
We don't have a change of finding
Greener pastures anywhere

Even though I may not like you
Sometimes hate you till I'm gone
Walking out with eardrums rolling
As you go on and on
You must know I'll always love you
None above you
I'm still with you in the sun

Won't you please chase me with a smile for a change
Play music to my head
Please don't corner me with tension (anymore)
Take me as I am to your bed

Once upon a time I loved you
How the hell did we get here
We don't have a change of finding
Greener pastures anywhere

Even though you drive me crazy
I'm so crazy
I still care

@SONG: WORK OF HEART

I. No One Ever Gets Out Alive
II. Two Lovers in the Moon
III. We Are the People
IV. All Us Children (So Sadly Far Apart)
V. We Are the People (reprise)
VI. No One Ever Gets Out Alive (finale)

No one ever gets out alive
Not you or me
Can you imagine TV in heaven
Ghosts on Eleven Alive
Elvis and Jesus on Johnny Carson
God on the same 9 to 5
(Thank goodness) No-one ever gets out alive
Not you or me
Under the spreading chestnut in April
I'm gonna lay me down
Get on with being one of the people
Don't let it get me down
(Thank goodness) No-one ever gets out alive
Not you or me

All of my life I've been chasing reality
All that I write is a dream
But some dreams come true
Though it's only a few
The most are off-beam
And all that I see are the ghosts of the robbers
Who laid all these traps
Where blind politicians made desperate decisions
With wall to wall cops
And I'm so surprised at you
I never realised that you needed living this way
I thought you had brains
But it only remains
To bid you good day
And a very good day
Cos me and my lady know it's so shady
We sometimes try turning away
But where can we go
Where we just wouldn't know
There's only today
But the road's so long and longer
Like a dream adrift a stone
Where she and I together lie
And then apart are thrown
Two pebbles in the wheeltreads
Of passing afternoon
Shed by time and circumstance
Two lovers in the moon
And through the passing years love
I will quest for you and I
I know you are my lady
You'll believe me by and by
By and by

Falling here with her
Into the evening breeze
Over her shoulder
Before the sunset seas
O my love
Must we leave this place
To believe
That all the time
We slowly climb
Towards the vision
We are the people
Precious time began
We are the people
When all is said and done
We are the people
We are everyone
We are the people
And gone
We don't have precious time my love
To hide in high rise crime above
These politics of slime my love
We only have each others eyes
To see the world

(Can I read your hands
Are there any lines
Do we carry on
Are there any signs?)

I'm looking to build a home
With you
If I ask you to be part
Of me
And true
In the heart
That I will always be
In you
And I trust my true love
You in me
And I'm looking to build this dream
Come true
Into the deep of deepest
Heart to heart
With you
And all us children
In this present world
So sadly far apart

Can you hear me

As all the time
We slowly climb
Towards the vision
We are the people
Precious time began
We are the people
When all is said and done
We are the people
We are everyone
And gone

And power
Cannot be held
For longer than splitting an atom
Or longer than batting an eyelid
Or longer than being a bee
On a flower

Any by and by
I'm gonna see your face
In another sky
As we leave this place
With an old invitation in your smile
No prosecution or any trial

And under the spreading chestnut in April
I'm gonna lay my case
With you in my arms as two of the people
Head out to inner space

(Thank goodness) No one ever gets out alive
Not you or me

I didn't say no-one ever got out
But no-one ever gets out alive
Not you or me
