Glorified 02:49
Make your mark right here Sign up for glory Smile and hide your fear In a uniform You’re needed more dead than alive Gunsmoke blinds the sky Blood stains the rivers Choking where you lie In a foreign field A just fight in all ignorance What price for your innocence now? Run, run into the guns They turn the machines to mow you all down Run, run while you still can They’re burning the fields and turning the ground And who’ll be with you at the end of your life? Welcome bloody home Nobody’s hero Just a piece of stone On a village green What world was worth this? Did you really believe all of it? Sure it’s a man’s life till it’s gone Run, run into the sun They’re burning the fields and turning the ground And who was with you at the end of your life? And who remembers what you sacrificed?

I Will Try 02:49
When I think about the days Time took away Without even leaving the nights Then I look into the dark Far as the stars A half life just lost in a haze And you needn’t ask me do I remember Because I couldn’t even if I tried With a bottle full of wine I’m feeling fine Just lying in a heap in the shade Got a beautiful ideal Now make it real To feel like I do all the time And now all around the ground’s slowly moving And you’re dancing while I’m standing still Am I grinning like a fool Am I acting that I’m cool? And I’m telling you what I’m going to do Going to make a start today And I will try to be How I would like to be And I will try to see As far as I can see In the daylight that’s still left No no regrets It’s gone, what’s the point anyway? When I’ve something still to give God let me live Today’s been too good to forget And I will try to be How I would like to be And I will try to see As far as I can see And I will try to be How I would like to be And I will try to see As far as I can see And I will try to be How I would like to be And I will try to see As far as I can see Written by William Jones Published by Summerhouse Music Ltd

It’s black, I’ve drawn the curtains I’m lying here on the floor I’m under your bad influence And I’ve locked the door I see your face in pictures I read your name in lights Your image keeps me going Through the lonely nights A real-life situation For three days in my room A taxi run at midnight With the last tycoon Addicted to my dreams of you Going on and on and on Till my awakening again Around my room and down the hall I’ve got all your pictures on the wall I know you from the way you talk And we’ll meet next time I’m in New York New York You’ve shown me your true colours Show me something wild The vanities of working girl And crazy child From violent to pacific The mean streets to the heights I see your body double now In blinding white I’ve been there too, I’m thanking you For the days and nights and weeks And months and years of joy and tears With Bobby, James and Melanie In a weekend in your company The furthest place I’ve ever been Is a footstep from the TV screen From sex and lies to teenage cool I know all the words and all the moves There’s nothing else I need to do Till the morning sun comes shining through again Written by William Jones Published by Summerhouse Music Ltd

Sleep 03:35
I found the long way home I laid my body down My aching head too tired To be dreaming The dying of the day Where passions slowly fade The burning fields a haze Round the evening Deep sleep the taste of wine Slow motion in my eyes You’ll only hear the sound Of my breathing And I feel tonight I’ll never wake again Asleep before the sun The cows are wandering home The birds are flying south For the winter And I feel tonight I’ll never wake again And I feel tonight I’ll never wake again My fears and worries gone The battles all are won And nothing left to fight Till tomorrow And I feel tonight I’ll never wake again And I feel tonight I’ll never wake again Written by William Jones Published by Summerhouse Music Ltd

Day By Night 04:23
Last thing here that I remember Wrapped inside a heat haze Is asking you to give me something To get me through the days Lost in some unending desert Staring at the blue sky You showed me something more than dreams And opened up my eyes I took a long time learning And now I know This world I found within me I’m never going to let it go Gave up waiting for the future Long before the time came Never felt this joy in living Since before the rain It’s been a long time coming And now it’s here I’ve spent a lifetime waiting And couldn’t wait another year Or even just another day Or even just another day I reached the light Through the shade and Day by night I can see so far And every moment where you are Although the journey’s been so hard I’ve found a place to be at last I found a world within me Made it come alive here And every day decide Don’t let it disappear I reached the heights From so deep and Day by night I can feel so free I reached the place I’ve been searching Night by day I can see so clear And whether far away or near I see the future without fear I want to stay now that I’m here Written by William Jones Published by Summerhouse Music Ltd

Still Alive 04:24
Open up my eyes And I look around me Through another night And the daylight’s found me Thunder in the air And it’s all around, and it’s everywhere Let my spirits fly To an open beach in a summer sky Safe within these walls I’m still alive Drag myself awake And I feel like nothing See the mirror’s face And I think of something Look me in the eye See the naked truth or the naked lies Who the hell am I? Said the silent voice in the yellow light God forgive my sins I’m still alive God preserve my soul I’m still alive When the hard nights have gone When the dark days are over And a new life has come And I’ll see far and wide Feel the hidden strength and I’ll survive Seen it in my dreams I’m still alive Read between the lines You can hear the words, you can see the signs Take me by surprise Could you move me now, when I’m paralysed? God forgive my sins I’m still alive When the hard nights have gone When the dark days are over And a new life has come And I’ll see far and wide Feel the hidden strength and I’ll survive Seen it in my dreams I’m still alive Written by William Jones Published by Summerhouse Music Ltd

Let It Go 04:08
Nothing said as loud As a word silently spoken Never felt the power Of a bond finally broken Nothing comes from nothing any more Now there’s nothing left to give at all One too many times Look away into the distance Leave your thoughts behind Walk away into the silence Now I know much better than before Nothing makes a difference any more I never even noticed How we slowly grew a world away I never dreamt I’d say it But I hardly recognise your face I’ll never make another plan beyond tomorrow I’m never going to promise more than I can provide Close the passage door Walk ahead ever so slowly Don’t say any more If it’s kind whisper it quietly Now there’s just a space where someone stood If I could find another way I would I used to think I knew you But now I don’t know at all I used to feel so certain But now I’m not quite so sure I couldn’t make a promise now or since the last time I’ll never say forever more or never again Written by William Jones Published by Summerhouse Music Ltd

Trust 01:44
Trust me not to spoil The greatest joy I ever knew And trust me not to lose The deepest faith I’ll ever feel This ocean can’t be bounded By the common ties of time and space And we can watch the future while Enjoying every day the memories we make So trust me to protect My precious love from any distant Thought of pain Written by William Jones Published by Summerhouse Music Ltd

Release Me 04:11
Release me, into the night Release me, put out the light Take away the waiting Will I see you hesitating now? Remember when I have gone Remind me all that I’ve done Take away the danger No-one with a heart will blame you Peace will be a welcome stranger now From darkness to daylight I don’t want to stay while I feel every hour just the same From sunrise to midnight I won’t miss this still life So please let me go without pain From darkness to daylight I don’t want to stay while I feel every hour just the same From sunrise to midnight I won’t miss this still life So please let me go without pain Release me, out of this world Release me, take it away Emptiness is painless Nothingness would feel the same as Heaven’s just a name for hiding fear From darkness to daylight I don’t want to stay while I feel every hour just the same From sunrise to midnight I won’t miss this still life Release me and undo these chains For all my confusion How more can I prove that I’m still in control of my mind From half-life to nowhere Just let me go slowly I’m already less than alive Written by William Jones Published by Summerhouse Music Ltd

Every day I look around for your face Everywhere just feels like filling dead space I’d stay with you now if I could be there Round and round the cluttered floor of this room Up and down the dead end streets of this town I’d stay with you now if I could be there I’d reach for you now if I could be there Half as twice as bad It’s a different way of saying the same thing Lost what sense I had And I know so well how I’d be feeling now If I could be there Any time you’re anywhere near my world This is just a message saying you called I miss you by miles, I want to be there I wish for the time when I could be there There and back again I’ve been half way round the world in my mind Not just now and then But in every sleeping waking moment No more need to hide Feelings deep inside If I could Written by William Jones Published by Summerhouse Music Ltd

Everywhere 05:22
Blue as sky is blue And icy chill and mirror still New and never new I’m going down, I’m lost within you Salt against my skin Sand between my fingers Draw my body in Drag me down, I’m drifting from the shore Dawn and heavy warm The distant hum, the rumble comes The calm before the storm The heat before the rolling thunder Waves make no fear Take me to hear The white sound Come break down The white sound Come crash down Everywhere, everywhere, everywhere Everywhere, everywhere, everywhere In a pure white In a wild night In a clear light I see you everywhere Old and know you now And never end, a constant friend Feel the silent power Hidden deep, and deep as evil A playground to play A graveyard to lay My wreck down To lie down To slip down To die down Everywhere, everywhere, everywhere Everywhere, everywhere, everywhere In a pure white In a wild night In a clear light I see you everywhere Everywhere, everywhere, everywhere Everywhere, everywhere, everywhere In a warm day In a cool rain In a blue haze I see you everywhere Everywhere, everywhere, everywhere Everywhere, everywhere, everywhere In a high tide In a low tide In a dream life I see you everywhere Written by William Jones Published by Summerhouse Music Ltd

Down a desert road that shimmers Petrol haze in midday sun Lined with double-sided mirrors Free my mind and let it run Floating down a shaded river Point the camera to the sky Leaves that catch the flashing sun See through the gaps as they go by Drifting past a million faces River widens to the sea Wonder where on earth I’m going Lose the way and let it be Go where it leads and Feel how it feels all the way Into the crystal blue horizon Free-fall in a spiral spinning Lie on hill in summer rain Back to back with grass that glistens Down to ground and start again All the world in seven colours Through a prism of my own What’s in my imagination Turn it on and let it go Swim where it flows and Dive where it’s still Climb through the air High on the hill you can stare Into the crystal blue horizon High as the sky can reach Far as the eye can see Long as the road till it’s gone Into the crystal blue horizon Written by William Jones Published by Summerhouse Music Ltd
