New Year’s Resolutions Soundtrack

 

 

 

Owner of a Lonely Heart

“Move yourselfYou always live your lifeNever thinking of the futureProve yourselfYou are the move you makeTake your chances, win or loserSee yourselfYou are the steps you takeYou and you, and that’s the only wayShake, shake yourselfYou’re every move you makeSo the story goes

–

You, lose yourselfNo not for pity’s sakeThere’s no real reason to be lonelyBe yourselfGive your free will a chanceYou’ve got to want to succeed

–

In the end you’ve got to goLook before you leapOwner of a lonely heartAnd don’t you hesitate at all, no no”

Hold On

“Hold on, hold onWait, maybe the answer’s looking for youHold on, hold onWait, take your time think it throughYes, I can make it through

–

Hold on, hold onSunshine, shine on throughHold on, hold onSunshine, shine on you, see it through”

It Can Happen

“Look upLook downLook outLook aroundSo look upLook downThere’s a crazy world outsideWe’re not about to lose our pride

–

It can happen to youIt can happen to meIt can happen to everyone eventually

As you happen to sayIt can happen todayAs it happensIt happens in every way

As you happen to seeIt will happen to beNothing happens to nowhere and nowhere”

Changes

“One road to lonelinessIt’s always the sameOne road to happinessIt’s calling your nameChange, changing places, changesRoot yourself to the groundCapitalize on this good fortuneOne word can bring you roundChangesChange, changing places, changesRoot yourself to the groundWord to the wiseWell, you get what’s comingOne word, one word can bring you roundChanges”

Hearts

“All the senses tuned discoveryAs and as and when our hearts decideBe ready now – Be ye circleBe the central force ye lifeAs the game extends the cycleBe ready to move”

Time Stand Still
“I turn my back to the windTo catch my breathBefore I start off againDriven onWithout a moment to spend
–
I let my skin get too thinI’d like to pause,No matter what I pretendLike some pilgrimWho learns to transcendLearns to liveAs if each step was the end
–
I turn my face to the sunClose my eyesLet my defenses downAll those woundsThat I can’t get unwound
I let my past go too fastNo time to pauseIf I could slow it all downLike some captainWhose ship runs agroundI can wait until the tide comes around
–
Summer’s going fastNights growing colderChildren growing upOld friends growing older
Freeze this momentA little bit longerMake each sensationA little bit stronger
Experience slips awayExperience slips awayThe innocence slips away

–

Time stand stillI’m not looking backBut I want to look around me nowTime stands stillSee more of the peopleAnd the places that surround me now”

Open Secrets

“I lie awake with my secretsSpinning ’round my headSomething that somehow escaped meSomething you shouldn’t have said

–

I was looking out the windowI should have looked at your face instead

Well, I guess we all have these feelingsWe can’t leave unreconciledSome of them burned on our ceilingsSome of them learned as a childThe things that we’re concealingWill never let us growTime will do its healingYou’ve got to let it go”

Second Nature

“Today is differentAnd tomorrow the sameIt’s hard to take the worldThe way that it came

–
Too many rapidsKeep us sweeping alongToo many captainsKeep on steering us wrong
It’s hard to take the heatIt’s hard to lay blameTo fight the fireWhile we’re feeding the flames
–

I know you’re differentYou know I’m the sameWe’re both too busyTo be taking the blame

I’d like some changesBut you don’t have the timeWe can’t go on thinkingIt’s a victimless crime.

No one is blamelessBut we’re all without shame

We fight the fireWhile we’re feeding the flames”

Prime Mover

“From the point of ignitionTo the final driveThe point of the journeyIs not to arriveAnything can happen

–
Basic temperamentalFilters on our eyesAlter our perceptionsLenses polarize
–
Alternating currentsForce a show of handsRational responsesForce a change of plansAnything can happen
–
From a point on the compassTo magnetic northThe point of the needleMoving back and forth
From the point of entryUntil the candle is burnedThe point of departureIs not to returnAnything can happen
–
I set the wheels in motionTurn up all the machinesActivate the programsAnd run behind the scene
–

I set the clouds in motionTurn up light and soundActivate the windowAnd watch the world go round

–

Anything can happen”

Mission
“Hold your fireKeep it burning brightHold the flame‘Til the dream ignitesA spirit with a visionIs a dream with a mission
–
When I feel the powerful visionsTheir fire has made aliveI wish I had that instinctI wish I had that drive
Spirits fly on dangerous missionsImaginations on fireFocused high on soaring ambitionsConsumed in a single desire
–

In the grip ofA nameless possessionA slave to the drive of obsessionA spirit with a visionIs a dream with a mission

I watch their images flickerBringing light to a lifeless screenI walk throughTheir beautiful buildingsAnd I wish I had their dreams

But dreams don’t needTo have motionTo keep their spark aliveObsession has to have actionPride turns on the drive

It’s cold comfortTo the ones without itTo know how they struggledHow they suffered about it

If their lives wereExotic and strangeThey would likely haveGladly exchanged themFor something a little more plainMaybe something a little more sane

We each pay a fabulous priceFor our visions of paradiseBut a spirit with a visionIs a dream with a mission”

Heart of Lothian
“On the outskirts of nowhereOn the ring road to somewhereOn the verge of indecisionI’ll always take the roundabout wayWaiting on the rainFor I was born with a habit, from a signThe habit of a windswept thumbAnd the sign of the rain
–

I was born with a heart of LothianWith a heart of Lothian”

Bitter Suite
“Last night you said I was cold, untouchableA lonely piece of action from another townI just want to be free, I’m happy to be lonelyCan’t you stay away?
Just leave me alone with my thoughtsJust a runawayJust a runawayI’m saving myself
–

Some of us go down in a blaze of obscuritySome of us go down in a haze of publicityThe price of infamyThe edge of insanity”

Childhoods End?
“And it was morning.And I found myself mourning,for a childhood that I thought had disappeared.I looked out the window,And I saw a magpie in the rainbow, the rain had goneI’m not alone, I turned to the mirror,I saw you, the child, that once loved.The child before they broke his heart,Our heart, the heart that I believed was lost.Hey you, surprised? More than surprised,To find the answers to the questions,Were always in your own eyes.
–
So I see it’s me, I can do anythingAnd still the child,Cause the only thing misplaced was directionAnd I found direction.There is no Childhood’s End.
–

Hey you, you’ve survived.Now you’ve arrived,To be reborn in the shadow of the magpie.Now you realize, that you’ve got to get out of here.You’ve found the leading light of destiny,Burning in the ashes of your memory.You want to change the world.You’d resigned yourself to die a broken rebel,But that was looking backward.Now you’ve found the light.You, the child that once loved,The child before they broke his heart.The heart, the heart that I believed was lostSo it’s me I see, I can do anything.I’m still the child.Cause the only thing misplaced was direction, and I found direction.There is no childhood’s end.”

The Whole of the Moon
“You were there at the turnstiles
With the wind at your heels
You stretched for the stars
And you know how it feels
To reach too high
Too far, too soon
You saw the whole of the Moon
–

With a torch in your pocket
And the wind at your heels
You climbed on the ladder
And you know how it feels
To get too high
Too far, too soon
You saw the whole of the Moon
The whole of the Moon

–

Unicorns and cannonballs
Palaces and piers
Trumpets, towers and tenements
Wide oceans full of tears
Flag, rags, ferry boats
Scimitars and scarves
Every precious dream and vision
Underneath the stars

–

Yes, you climbed on the ladder
With the wind in your sails
You came like a comet
Blazing your trail
Too high, too far, too soon
You saw the whole of the Moon”
