Lyrics

Don Alfonso
 
Vocals: David Bedford
 

 Now I'm A Toreador
 I Am For Sure
 I Kill Bulls By The Score
 And Sometimes More
 And When They Hear The Bell Ring
 Inside The Bullring
 The Bullocks All Start Trembling
 They Know I'm Coming
 
 I'm Don Alfonso
 Some Call Me Pedro
 But That Is Not So
 I'm Don Alfonso
 I Fought Bullocks Out In Sunny Spain
 Out In Sunny Spain
 I Fought Bulls In The Sunshine
 And I Fought Them In The Rain
 I'm Don Alfonso
 I Work For Oxo
 And All The Bullocks Are Affraid Of Me
 Oh My Sword I Pull
 Kill Si Bull
 Yes Sir Yes Sir Three Bags Full
 Then We Have Steak And Chips For Tea
 
 I Met A Sweet Señora
 In Barcelona
 Her Christian Name Was Mona
 She Was Thumbs Up Bona
 She Told Me She Was Single
 That Made Me Tingle
 My Heart Went Jingle Jingle
 I Said: Let's Mingle
 
 I'm Don Alfonso
 Some Call Me Pedro
 But That Is Not So
 I'm Don Alfonso
 I Fought Bullocks Out In Sunny Spain
 Out In Sunny Spain
 I Fought Bulls In The Sunshine
 And I Fought Bulls In The Rain
 I'm Don Alfonso
 I Work For Oxo
 And All The Bullocks Are Affraid Of Me
 Oh My Sword I Pull
 Kill Si Bull
 Yes Sir Yes Sir Three Bags Full
 Then We Have Fully Beff For Tea
 (Repeat Two Times)
 
 I Fight Bulls Every Sunday
 And Sometimes Monday
 And When I Fight On Sunday
 We've Cold Meat Monday
 We Have Meat Hash On Tuesday
 Sometimes Hashed Wednesday
 We Don't Eat Meat On Friday
 We Wait Till Sunday
 
 I'm Don Alfonso
 Some Call Me Pedro
 But That Is Not So
 I'm Don Alfonso
 I Fought Bullocks Out In Sunny Spain
 Out In Sunny Spain
 I Fought Bulls In The Sunshine
 And We Fought Bulls In The Rain
 I'm Don Alfonso
 I Work For Oxo
 And All The Bullocks Are Affraid Of Me
 Oh My Sword I Pull
 Kill Si Bull
 Yes Sir Yes Sir Three Bags Full
 Then We Have Ham And Eggs For Tea

Five Miles Out
Vocals: Mike Oldfield / Maggie Reilly

What Do You Do When Your Falling
You've Got 30 Degrees And You're Stalling Out?
And It's 24 Miles To Your Beacon
There's A Crack In The Sky And The Warning's Out

Don't Take That Dive Again!
Push Through That Band Of Rain!

Five Miles Out
Just Hold Your Heading True
Got To Get Your Finest Out
You're Number 1, Anticipating You

Climbing Out
Just Hold Your Heading True
Got To Get Your Finest Out
You're Number 1, Anticipating You

Mayday! Mayday! Mayday!
Calling All Stations!

The Traffic Controller Is Calling
"Victor-Juliet Your Identity
I Have You Lost In The Violent Storm!
Communicate Or Squawk 'Emergency'!"

Don't Take That Dive Again!
Push Through That Band Of Rain!

Lost In Static 18
And The Storm Is Closing In Now

The Propeller Blades Are Still!
And The Evil Eye Of The Hurricane's
Coming In Now For The Kill

When You're Down And Braking

Moonlight Shadow
Vocals: Maggie Reilly

The Last That Ever She Saw Him 
Carried Away By A Moonlight Shadow 
He Passed On Worried And Warning 
Carried Away By A Moonlight Shadow 
Lost In A Riddle That Saturday Night 
Far Away On The Other Side 
He Was Caught In The Middle Of A Desperate Fight 
And She Couldn't Find How To Push Through 

The Trees That Whisper In The Evening 
Carried Away By A Moonlight Shadow 
Sing A song Of Sorrow And Grieving 
Carried Away By A Moonlight Shadow 
All She Saw Was The Silhouette Of A Gun 
Far Away On The Other Side 
He Was Shot Six Times By A Man On The Run 
And She Couldn't Find How To Push Through 

(Chorus) 

I Stay, I Pray 
See You In Heaven Far Away 
I Stay, I Pray 
See You In Heaven One Day 

Four A.M. In The Morning 
Carried Away By A Moonlight Shadow 
I Watched Your Vision Forming 
Carried Away By A Moonlight Shadow 
Stars Moved Slowly In The Silvery Night 
Far Away On The Other Side 
Will You Come To Talk To Me This Night
But She Couldn't Find How To Push Through 

(Repeat Chorus) 

Far Away On The Other Side 

Caught In The Middle Of A Hundred And Five 
The Night Was Heavy And The Air Was Alive 
But She Couldn't Find How To Push Through 

(Repeat Chorus Three Times) 

The Last Time Ever She'd See Him 
Carried Away By A Moonlight Shadow 
The Crowd Gather Just Beneath Him 
Carried Away By A Moonlight Shadow 
Caught In The Middle Of A Hundred And Five 
Far Away On The Other Side 
The Night Was Heavy And The Air Was Alive 
But She Couldn't Find How To Push Through 
 

Shadow on the Wall
Vocals: Roger Chapman

Shadow on the wall
Shadow on the wall
Shadow on the wall
Shadow on the wall
Like a shadow on the wall

Treat me like a prisoner
Treat me like a fool
Treat me like a loser
Use me as a tool
Face me till I'm hungry
Push me in the cold
Treat me like a criminal
Just a shadow on the wall

Chorus

Treat me like I'm evil
Freeze me till I'm cold
Beat me till I'm feeble
Grab me till I'm old
Fry me till I'm tired
Push me till I fall
Treat me like a criminal
Just a shadow on the wall

Chorus (3 times)

 

Crime Of Passion
Vocals: Barry Palmer

On A Bright Day She Passed Away 
In The Morning It's A Cruel Way 
To Take Her Away With No Warning 
He Took Her Hand Through Every Midnight Hour 
And Then He Saw Her Fading Away Like A Spring Shower 

(Chorus) 

I Can See A Complete Life's Time 
Pictures And Posters Of Times And Fashion 
Nineteen Years With No Reason Or Rhyme 
Taken Away In A Crime Of Passion 

He Stood To See If He Could Catch Her Breathing 
But I Was No Good He Understood She Was Leaving 
He Looked Outside The Frosty Window Pane 
And Then He Saw Her Moving Away Elizabeth Jane 

(Repeat Chorus) 

I See Freedom In Sight It's A Long Climb 
But She Would Not Give Up The Fight For A Long Time 
And I See A Light Come Shining Into Night 
Baby It's All Right We Couldn't Have Changed It Was 
Second Sight 

(Repeat Chorus) 

I See Freedom Light Shining In The Night 
I See Freedom But She Wouldn't Give Up The Fight 
I See Her Light Come Shining Into Night 
Baby It's All Right We Couldn't Have Changed It Was 
Second Sight 

I See A Light Come Shining Into Night 
Baby It's All Right We Couldn't Have Changed It Was 
Second Sight

Tricks Of The Light

Vocals: Barry Palmer & Maggie Reilly

Lyrics I Have A Crazy Man
Waiting For A Confirmation
Signs Keep A-Changing Up
I Need Some More Information

Some Are Tricks Of The Light, You'll Never Know
Make A Flickering Midnight Light Into A Glow
It's A Trick Of The Light
It's A Trick Of The Light

Something That Tells Me How
Her Bright Blue Eyes Are Shining
She Turns Up Her Head Now
Where She Walks, She's And I Am

(Chorus)

Some Are Tricks Of The Light, You'll Never Know
Make A Flickering Midnight Light Into A Glow
And The Spot That You Saw So Bright Was Just For Show
Could It Ever Have Turned Out Right? You'll Never Know
It's A Trick Of The Light
It's A Trick Of The Light

She Turns, She Takes His Hand
Breaking His Concentration
She Burns At His Command
That Ends Some Man's Recollection

(Repeat Chorus)

Could It Ever Have Turned Out Right, Now?
It's A Trick Of The Light
That Is Something You'll Never Know
It's A Trick Of The Light

(Repeat Last Verse)

Could It Ever Have Turned Out Right, Now?
It's A Trick Of The Light
That Is Something You'll Never, Something You'll Never
Something You'll Never, Something You'll Never
Something You'll Never, Something You'll Never
Something You'll Never, Something You'll Never...
 

To France
Vocals: Maggy Reilly

Talking on Water
Sailing a restless sea
From a memory
A fantasy
The wind carries
Into white water
Fare from the islands
Don't you know you're

Never going to get to France
Mary Queen of chance will they find you
Never going to get to France
Could a new romance ever bind you

Walking on foreign ground
Like a shadow
Roaming in far off
Territory
Over your shoulder
Stories unfold you're
searching for sanctuary
you know you're

Chorus
I see a picture
by the lamp's flicker
Isn't it strange
How dreams fade and shimmer

Chorus
I see a picture
by the lamp's flicker
Isn't it strange
how dreams fade and shimmer

Chorus
Never going to get to France
 

Pictures In The Dark

Vocals by Anita Hegerland, Aled Jones, Mike Oldfield & Barry Palmer 

Follow the light that glows
Through your bedroom window.
Tonight, tonight, the fading twilight.
There's a hollow deep in the woods
Where you know you're crazy
To go, to go, not even meant to know
There are... 

Pictures in the dark, I see all around.
Voices calling underground
And I'm watching the stars since the
World was found. 
One, two, three. 

Chorus:
Pictures in the dark, I see
Morpheus comes to me.
Pictures in the dark, I see.
Aurora sets you free. 

And in the deepest dark
You come to a maze in.
The night, the night, the fading twilight.
And you shiver the glistening path
Where you know you're crazy
To go, to go, not even meant to know.
There are... 

Pictures in the dark, I see all around.
Voices calling underground
And I'm watching the stars since the
World was found. 
One, two, three. 

Lost in my dreams. 
This night will never end.
You can only fly in your dreams.
Midnight will be your friend.
Drift away on starlight beams.
Clocks are ticking the night away.
You can only fly until dawn ascends. 

Chorus 
The moon shines starlight beams
And you'll be flying in your dreams. 
Chorus 
The moon shines starlight beams
And you'll be flying in your dreams.
 

Song Shine - extended version
Vocals: Jon Anderson

All That You Need And Your Desire
If I'm Put To The Test
I Believe I Couldn't Get Higher
Just By Being With You
Spins Me Straight Around The Moon
And If Our Rainbows Could Dance
He'd Dance For Your Desire Soon

Because Because
She Was She Was
Made In Heaven
She Was She Was
She Was A Maid In Heaven

Standing In New Space
Waving At The Sun
So You Probably Back In Darkness
To Where I Belong
Just By Being With You
Pictures Flow Out Of My Mind
Have We Danced Before
Long Ago Or In Another Time

Because Because
She Was She Was
Made In Heaven
She Was She Was
She Was A Maid In Heaven

All That You Need And Your Desire
Can We Sing To The Sunlight
Play With Fire
Just By Being With You
Spins Me Straight Around The Moon
And If Our Rainbows Could Dance
He'd Dance For Your Desire Soon

Because Because
She Was She Was
She Was A Maid In Heaven (She Was Made In Heaven)
She Was She Was
She Was A Maid In Heaven
She Was

Shine Shine (She Was She Was)
She's My Light
She's My Light (made In Heaven)
Shine Shine (She Was She Was)
I Need Her Light
She's My Light

She Was A Maid In Heaven

Shine Shine (She Was She Was)
She's My Light
She's My Light (made In Heaven)
Shine Shine (She Was She Was)
I Need Her Light
She's My Light

(Chorus)

Shine Shine She's My Light
She's My Light
Shine Shine I Need Her Light
She's My Light

(Repeat Chorus)

Shine Shine She's My Light
She's My Light (She's My Light)
Shine Shine I Need Her Light
She's My Light
And A Maid In Heaven

(Repeat Chorus)

Shine Shine She's My Light
She's My Light (She Was A Maid In Heaven)
Shine Shine I Need Her Light
She's My Light
She Was A Maid In Heaven

Shine Shine (She Was She Was)
She's My Light
She's My Light (And Ever Made In Heaven)
Shine Shine (She Was She Was)
I Need Her Light She's My Light
 


Innocent
Lead & backing vocals: Anita Hegerland

I know you'll never stay the same
In time most of us lose it
But I'm hoping just the same
You'll shine and learn how to use it

Speak to me like the very first speak
You are magnificent when you're innocent
Laugh to me like the very first laugh
You are from heaven sent when you're innocent

My hands hold you and you adore
Blue eyes turn my direction
Suprise in everything and your
Body moves in perfection

Smile to me like the very first smile
You are magnificen when you're innocent
Walk to me like the very first walk
You are from heaven sent when you're innocent

Sunrise here comes another day
Cow jumps over the moon now
Sometime you will look back and say
Today I'll sing my own tune

Sing to me like the very first sing
You are magnificent when you're innocent
Laugh to me like the very first laugh
You are omipotent when you're innocent

Speak to me like the very first speak
You are magnificent when you're innocent
Smile to me like the very first smile
You are from heaven sent when you're innocent
Sing to me like the very first sing
You are magnificent when you're innocent

Earth Moving
Lead vocals: Nikki "B" Bentley (of "B" Force)
Additional vocals: Max Bacon
Background vocals: Keith Murrell, Sonia Jones Morgan, Maggie Ryder, Jackie Challenor, Carl Wayne, Lance Ellington

I hear a voice from paradise
Looks like a new day dawning
So clear I just open my eyes
Can't you hear the voice calling

I feel a rush in the air tonight
I can feel the earth moving
Love is a beacon, a guiding light
Can't you feel the earth move
Feel the earth move
Now I'm wrapped in a sweet love's arms
Reaching out for you
There's something magic in the air tonight
I can feel the earth move
And it moves me
Can't you hear the voice calling
It looks like a new day dawning

Reach out - it's a leap to the dark
But there's no danger of falling
Give out give it straight from the heart
You feel like thunder rolling

Chorus

Heaven's Open

Vocals: Michael Oldfield

This is that morning
It's waiting for you
The face of destiny
Standing before you

This is zero hour now is for you
Can you feel that power inside of you

This priceless moment
In your posession
Answers to mysteries
Stand in succession

This is zero hour and there's no way back
Can you feel that power in its arms you're wrapped
All through the night-time
Till the sun comes in
Now Heaven's Open
Fly right in

Now you stand in that garden
This is that vision
Out on the world's edges
It's your baptism

This is zero hour and your hands are free
Can you feel that power it's ecstasy
All through the night-time
Let the blue sky in

Heaven's Open
Sun comes in
Heaven's Open
Let that blue sky in
