The Poet
The black crow sings
The poet writes
The words that break the hearts
Of all the girls in the ancient towns
Who's lives have fallen apart
The black cloak fell to the ground
To stop the water's flow
And all would die in Bedlam town
Now the land of ghosts
The treadmill sweats
With blood of those
Who's feet had sought
To seek the freedom
Beneath the dirt the corpses rot
Their future now has gone
But come the time the hero lands
The game has just begun
And when all have nothing more to say
The battle has been won
Until the poet's pen breaks
The battle's just begun
The lovers spill their inky words
Give birth to their sons
The soldiers drag their bodies forth
Their hearts are full of joy
The poet's dream has just begun
And started to destroy

Waterfall
Music flows out of the falling sound
Amidst the foam and spray
A melody that lingers upon the wind
Then is carried far away
Waterfall, oh waterfall
Sing to me
Down below amidst all the rocks and weeds
The motion swirls and flows
Filtered by all the sand and weeds
The tempo quickly slows
Oh Waterfall, oh waterfall
Sing to me
Oh waterfall, oh waterfall
Sing to me

In The City
So pretty, from a fine old family in the country
Daddy's rich and mummy's a pillar of society
The future is planned out for you
Grade A student, now a new life is waiting in the city
Kissed goodbye to your family and friends in the country
Daddy says "Take care and ring when you get there my love".
To the city
Packed your bags and found your way to the city
In the city, start a brand new life in the city
Opportunities (are) waiting for you
Brand new job, you'll soon be making progress in the city
Making friends with influential people in the city
Everyone's asking "Who is the new girl, she's so pretty?"
In the city
Out to lunch with the banker and broker in the city
Getting tipsy with the office joker in the city
There is so much going on
In the evening when the lights are so pretty in the city
Taking in the sights and the sounds of the city
Paid half you wage on a new pair of shoes and a bag
That's the city!
In the city you have targets to meet
So much pressure, you have to think on your feet
There's always another to jump in your seat
Take you place if you fail to compete
Come over here dear we'll give you some pleasure for free
Follow the dragon he'll take you to your destiny
He'll take you to paradise, make you feel so nice
Send you to heaven, or hell if you like
One little sniff and you'll be with the angels tonight
The price has gone up if you want to get back to your high
We'll cut you a deal, will you do everything that's required?
If you are a good girl and fulfil your tasks
When the bell rings you'll do as your asked
The devils has taken you soul with him down to his fire
You are so young now you look like a woman of fifty
The punters in here are all looking a little bit shifty
Banker and broker are slipping you twenties
Your glass was half full now you're running on empty
Could you be that same girl who came all the way from the country?
In the city, if you find yourself in the city
In the city, if you make your life in the city
The black and the white man, the olive and brown
The jostling commuter who's lost underground
The man who cleans windows way up on a ledge
And the guy in the taxi with all the knowledge
And he's had in his cab all the glitz and the glam
And the lad from Eastenders, "I think he's call Sam"
And Pam in the canteen who serves all the meals
To the guys in the office who make all the deals
The JP and juror who hear all the pleas
From the man in the dock who shouts, "Wasn't me!"
The blind man, the beggar, the junky and thief
The big city chiefs and all those beneath
The king and the queen and the Houses of P.
Are all tiny cogs in the big factory called the city
That's the city
In the city
That's the city
