Oh What A Circus lyrics - David Essex
(originally by Andrew Lloyd Webber & Tim Rice)
Oh what a circus! Oh what a show!
Argentina has gone to town
Over the death of an actress called Eva Peron
We've all gone crazy
Mourning all day and mourning all night
Falling over ourselves to get all, of the misery right
Oh what an exit! That's how to go!
When they're ringing your curtain down
Demand to be buried like Eva Peron
It's quite a sunset
And good for the country in a roundabout way
We've made the front pages of all, the world's papers today
But who is this Santa Evita?
Why all this howling hysterical sorrow?
What kind of goddess has lived among us?
How will we ever get by without her?
She had her moments--she had some style
The best show in town was the crowd
Outside the Casa Rosada crying, "Eva Peron"
But that's all gone now
As soon as the smoke from the funeral clears
We're all gonna see and howl, she did nothing for years!
Salve regina mater misericordiae
Vita dulcedo et spes nostra
Salve salve regina
Ad te clamamus exules filii Eva
Ad te suspiramus gementes et flentes
O clemens o pia
You let down your people Evita
You were supposed to have been immortal
That's all they wanted
Not much to ask for
But in the end you could not deliver
Salve regina mater misericordiae
Vita dulcedo et spes nostra
Salve salve regina Peron
Ad te clamamus exules filii Eva
Ad te suspiramus gementes et flentes
O clemens o pia
Oh what a circus! Oh what a show!

Silver Dream Machine lyrics - David Essex
I've a dream, silver dream machine.
Here am I, I'm going for another try,
Flying high, I've got a lot of love inside.
Is there love enough now to get me through?
Yeah, I know now where I'm going to -
Not to lose now but to win;
Tell me, how do I begin?
I've a dream, silver dream machine.
Well, alright, I've got a lot of love to try,
'Cause love is the thing,
And freedom is the word I sing.
Is there force now, yeah, to get us through?
Yeah, it's deep in me and it's deep in you -
Not to lose now but to win,
Tell me how do I begin?
I've a dream, silver dream machine;
Silver dream, silver dream machine.
Is there love enough now to get me through?
Yeah, I know now where I'm going to -
Not to lose now but to win;
Tell me how do I begin?
I've a dream, silver dream machine;
Silver dream, silver dream machine;
Silver dream, silver dream machine.
Here am I, I'm going for another try,
Flying high, I've got a lot of love inside.
Is there love enough now to get me through?
Yeah, I know now where I'm going to -
Not to lose now but to win;
Tell me, how do I begin?
I've a dream, silver dream machine.
Well, alright, I've got a lot of love to try,
'Cause love is the thing,
And freedom is the word I sing.
Is there force now, yeah, to get us through?
Yeah, it's deep in me and it's deep in you -
Not to lose now but to win,
Tell me how do I begin?
I've a dream, silver dream machine;
Silver dream, silver dream machine.
Is there love enough now to get me through?
Yeah, I know now where I'm going to -
Not to lose now but to win;
Tell me how do I begin?
I've a dream, silver dream machine;
Silver dream, silver dream machine;
Silver dream, silver dream machine.
A Winter's Tale lyrics - David Essex
The nights are colder now
Maybe I should close the door
And anyway the snow has covered all your footsteps
And I can follow you no more
The fire still burns at night
My memories are warm and clear
But everybody knows it's hard to be alone at this time of year
It was only a winter's tale
Just another winter's tale
And why should the world take notice
Of one more love that's failed?
A love that could never be
Though it meant a lot to you and me
On a world-wide scale we're just another winter's tale
While I stand alone
A bell is ringing far away
I wonder if you hear, I wonder if you're listening
I wonder where you are today
Good luck, I wish you well
For all that wishes may be worth
I hope that love and strength
Are with you for the length of your time on Earth
It was only a winter's tale
Just another winter's tale
And why should the world take notice
Of one more love that's failed?
It's a love that could never be
Though it meant a lot to you and me
On a world-wide scale we're just another winter's tale
It was only a winter's tale
Just another winter's tale
And why should the world take notice
Of one more love that's failed?
It's a love that could never be
Though it meant a lot to you and me
On a world-wide scale we're just another winter's tale
Maybe I should close the door
And anyway the snow has covered all your footsteps
And I can follow you no more
The fire still burns at night
My memories are warm and clear
But everybody knows it's hard to be alone at this time of year
It was only a winter's tale
Just another winter's tale
And why should the world take notice
Of one more love that's failed?
A love that could never be
Though it meant a lot to you and me
On a world-wide scale we're just another winter's tale
While I stand alone
A bell is ringing far away
I wonder if you hear, I wonder if you're listening
I wonder where you are today
Good luck, I wish you well
For all that wishes may be worth
I hope that love and strength
Are with you for the length of your time on Earth
It was only a winter's tale
Just another winter's tale
And why should the world take notice
Of one more love that's failed?
It's a love that could never be
Though it meant a lot to you and me
On a world-wide scale we're just another winter's tale
It was only a winter's tale
Just another winter's tale
And why should the world take notice
Of one more love that's failed?
It's a love that could never be
Though it meant a lot to you and me
On a world-wide scale we're just another winter's tale
Out On The Street lyrics - David Essex
Out on the street there
People are moving
Winning and losing
Out on the street
Out on the street
Out on the corner
The pimp and the ponces
Strawberry blonded, hooker lies low
In a alley of love
They come and they go
Back to the shadows
Out on the corner
She waits for a lover
Who crawls in the gutter
For cigarette ends
Or money to spend
Alone in the city
She smile she look pretty
You've money to burn
Why not take a turn
Head spinning with wine
But you know that's it's time
For good times, only good times
You say
How much is your body?
Are you worth what you cost me?
But what do you touch?
No I've only this much!
You climb the stairs
To a room waiting there
Alone but together
You look at each other
Bowing your head
She say was it something I said?
Do you want whiskey or rum?
Would you like to have fun?
But you turn and run
Ouuuuutt
Out, on, the street
Ouuuuutt
Down and out, out on the
Down and out, out on the
Down and out, out on the
Down and out, out on the streeeeeeeeeeeet
Wooooaaaaaaaaw
Alone in his bedroom
He sits watching the moon
Tears on his face
He stares into space
Oh what a waste
And what a disgrace
Wanting and needing
But losing the thread
Sitting in corners
He stares at his bed
The devils inside him
The gel next door said
Take him the way out
He paid for the ride
Twisting and turning
And dying inside
But oh how he tried
Oh how they lied
Oh ho look at that man
Lying in the gutter
Gutter
Oh oh look at that man
Why do you think his suffer suffer
There's, no reason at all
Why he can't be straight
There's no reason on earth
Why you can't be regular
Oh oh look at that man
Do ya think he's cryin' cryin'
Oh oh look at that man
Yes I think he's dying dying
There's, no, reason why
Why he can't be straight
There's no reason on earth
Why ya can't be regular
Regular
Regular
Regular
Oh Regular
Regular
Regular
Out on the street there
Police cars are screaming
Blue lights are flashing
Into the room
Into his tomb
Into the black night
A winding the blue light
Crossing the river
They try but give up
He's cold to their touch
He's cold to their touch
Ouuuuutt
Down, on, the street
Whhhyyyy
Down and out, out on the
Down and out, out on the
Down and out, out on the
Down and out, out on the streeeeeeeeeeeet!
Yeah yeah

Let The Fool Live lyrics - David Essex
I'm a fool but I love you so
With a love that burned into my very soul
Don't take my heart
Don't break my heart
The painted fool I'm your harlequin
I'm the court, jester with the silly grin
Don't take my heart
Don't break my heart
You fire my engine and you get me high
Then you cut my lifeline and you leave me dry
Don't take my heart
Don't break my heart
You sail your ship to the city streets
And you fall in love and flirt with everybody that you meet'a
Don't take my heart
Don't break my heart
Let the fool, live
Let the fool, live
Let the fool, live
Let the fool
Let the fool
Let that fool... live
Let him live
In a gun shop bloody on a midnight flight
In your tower block in the still of the night
Don't take my heart
Don't break my heart
A lie upon lie
A lie upon you
In the midnight city
See the sun come through
Don't take my heart
Don't break my heart
Let the fool, live
Let the fool live (let him live)
Let the fool, live
Let the fool
Let the fool, live
With a love that burned into my very soul
Don't take my heart
Don't break my heart
The painted fool I'm your harlequin
I'm the court, jester with the silly grin
Don't take my heart
Don't break my heart
You fire my engine and you get me high
Then you cut my lifeline and you leave me dry
Don't take my heart
Don't break my heart
You sail your ship to the city streets
And you fall in love and flirt with everybody that you meet'a
Don't take my heart
Don't break my heart
Let the fool, live
Let the fool, live
Let the fool, live
Let the fool
Let the fool
Let that fool... live
Let him live
In a gun shop bloody on a midnight flight
In your tower block in the still of the night
Don't take my heart
Don't break my heart
A lie upon lie
A lie upon you
In the midnight city
See the sun come through
Don't take my heart
Don't break my heart
Let the fool, live
Let the fool live (let him live)
Let the fool, live
Let the fool
Let the fool, live

Coming Home lyrics - David Essex
Yesterday, ahah, I felt like crying
Got to go, make a move, back home
Was I right, ahah, to cause a commotion
Am I right, to go home
Home, when I think about the times, I was wrong but was I right
There's no question in my mind that I'm coming home tonight, tonight
Yes I'm coming home tonight
Oh I'm coming home
Oh I'm coming home
Start again, ahah, build a beginning
Make a plan, make a stand to go home
Walk a line, ahah, to go back in time
Leaving it, going home
Home, when I think about the times, I was wrong but was I right
There's no question in my mind that I'm coming home tonight, tonight
Yes I'm coming home tonight
Oh I'm coming home
Oh I'm coming home
ahah
ahah
Home, when I think about the times I wrong but was I right
There's no question in my mind that I'm coming home tonight, tonight
That I'm coming home tonight
Oh I'm coming home
Oh I'm coming home
Oh I'm coming home
Oh I'm coming home
Oh I'm coming home (yesterday)
Oh I'm coming home (coming home)
Oh I'm coming home (yesterday)
Oh I'm coming home (coming home)
Oh I'm coming home (make a stand)
Got to go, make a move, back home
Was I right, ahah, to cause a commotion
Am I right, to go home
Home, when I think about the times, I was wrong but was I right
There's no question in my mind that I'm coming home tonight, tonight
Yes I'm coming home tonight
Oh I'm coming home
Oh I'm coming home
Start again, ahah, build a beginning
Make a plan, make a stand to go home
Walk a line, ahah, to go back in time
Leaving it, going home
Home, when I think about the times, I was wrong but was I right
There's no question in my mind that I'm coming home tonight, tonight
Yes I'm coming home tonight
Oh I'm coming home
Oh I'm coming home
ahah
ahah
Home, when I think about the times I wrong but was I right
There's no question in my mind that I'm coming home tonight, tonight
That I'm coming home tonight
Oh I'm coming home
Oh I'm coming home
Oh I'm coming home
Oh I'm coming home
Oh I'm coming home (yesterday)
Oh I'm coming home (coming home)
Oh I'm coming home (yesterday)
Oh I'm coming home (coming home)
Oh I'm coming home (make a stand)

City Lights lyrics - David Essex
Walk on city light
Walk on in the night
Run on down the street
What I got I'm gonna keep
Walk on city lights
Walk on city lights
Oh it's a pity
It's a city

That's the pity
Help me in the backside door
I got what I want I need more
Take me to your car
Drag me to your bar
Walk on city lights
Walk on city lights
Oh it's a pity
It's a city
Church steeple grip hold in the city
Neon bright cold night, in the city
Skyscrape break your taken in the city
Dark is the city that's the pity
Church steeple grip on in the city
Neon bright cold night in the city
Skyscrapers their take in the city
Walk

All The Fun Of The Fair lyrics - David Essex
Roll on up see the main attraction
Get your money ready to step inside
Line up here for the roller coaster
Keep your arms in
And we'll take a ride
Roll on up for the fun of the fair yeah
Oh anymore for anymore
Oh coconut shy or the crazy-walker
Through the hall of mirrors
To the magic door
Roll on up see the main attraction
'Ead over heels for the fun of the fair
Catch a ghost train to the 'aunted castle
Ride a helter-skelter Jack is waiting there
Jack the lad is waiting there
The fairground king, with greasy hair
Ride at your risk, he'll steal your kiss
Jack the lad, the fairground man
Good golly miss molly
He'll spin your car round
Without a smile he'll wink his eye
Killing you softly with flashing light bulbs
Lifting your soul with a tattooed sigh
Jack the lad is waiting there
Eyes of black, that coldly stare
King of kings, lord of the ring
Jack the lad, the fairground man
Roll on up see the main attraction
Get your money ready to get inside
Line up here for the roller coaster
Keep your arms in
And we'll take the ride
I, take a ride
I, shake inside
I, take a ride
I, step inside
I, take a bow
I, step inside
I, take a ride
I, step inside
I, take a ride
[manic laughing of socks off]
Get your money ready to step inside
Line up here for the roller coaster
Keep your arms in
And we'll take a ride
Roll on up for the fun of the fair yeah
Oh anymore for anymore
Oh coconut shy or the crazy-walker
Through the hall of mirrors

If I Could lyrics - David Essex
If I could, love you forever
If I could love you everyday
If I could take your hand
Would ya understand
And let, me, show, the, way
If we could dance this dance forever
If we could laugh without the world
If I give you my life
Will you be my wife
Or is that too absurd
But oh we could have a lark, a lark
Picnicking in the park, the park
On Saturday night if you feel alright
We'll go to the pictures when its dark
If I were a, plumber, would you love me
If you were a waitress, I'd love you
Could you picture us
On a number nine bus
To Canning Town we two,
Just me and you
But oh we could have a lark, a lark
Picnicking, in the park, the park
On Saturday night if you feel alright
We'll go to the pictures when its dark
Yes we could, walk our walks together
Or we could raise a family
When I come home from work
I'll change me shirt
And sit by the fireside for tea,
Just you and me
If I could love you everyday
If I could take your hand
Would ya understand
And let, me, show, the, way
If we could dance this dance forever
If we could laugh without the world
If I give you my life
Will you be my wife
Or is that too absurd
But oh we could have a lark, a lark
Picnicking in the park, the park
On Saturday night if you feel alright
We'll go to the pictures when its dark
If I were a, plumber, would you love me
If you were a waitress, I'd love you
Could you picture us
On a number nine bus
To Canning Town we two,
Just me and you
But oh we could have a lark, a lark
Picnicking, in the park, the park
On Saturday night if you feel alright
We'll go to the pictures when its dark
Yes we could, walk our walks together
Or we could raise a family
When I come home from work
I'll change me shirt
And sit by the fireside for tea,
Just you and me

Heh heh, da do do da da da da da de

You told me, told many lies
Oh girl, here we come again
Oh girl, never knew just when
Girl you, you hurt my pride
Look I run I just can't hide
Ain't no matter where I run too
I hear your voice whispering through, girl
The rain falls
I stand in the shadows
You see but you don't show
It's love burning to an ember
Yes the end but oh no no no no
Here it comes again
Oh girl, I never knew just when
Oh yeah I love you
Oh yeah yes I do
Just to hold you
In the morning
Get you through
To have you there
Have you there
Have you there
To have you there
There
There
Have you there......Yeah
See the man standing in the shadow
He looks just a lot like me
Do you remember my picture
Do you remember me, girl yeah
I was your moonlight tripper
I was the love of your life
But you've changed you've changed direction
You told me so many lies lies
Oh girl, here it comes again
Oh girl, never know just when
Here it comes again
Never know just when
Here it comes again
Here it comes again

Gonna Make You A Star lyrics - David Essex
Oh is he more, too much more, than a pretty face?
It's so strange the way he talking - it's a disgrace
Well I know I've been out of style
For a short while
But I don't care how cold you are
I'm coming home soon
I'm gonna make you a star
Yeah yeah
Well he say he's into his music but I don't believe it
He just doesn't seem to understand the rock media
Well I know I'm not super hip
And I'm liable to take a slip
But I don't care how cold you are
I'm coming home soon
I'm gonna make you a star
Yeah yeah
We gonna make you a star
We gonna make you a star
Oh is he more, too much more, than a pretty face?
(I don't think so)
It's so strange the way he talking - it's a disgrace
Well I know I've been out of style
For a short while
But you see I don't care how cold you are
I'm coming home soon
I'm gonna make you a star
Yeah yeah
We gonna make you a star
We gonna make you a star
We gonna make you a star
We gonna make you a star
It's so strange the way he talking - it's a disgrace
Well I know I've been out of style
For a short while
But I don't care how cold you are
I'm coming home soon
I'm gonna make you a star
Yeah yeah
Well he say he's into his music but I don't believe it
He just doesn't seem to understand the rock media
Well I know I'm not super hip
And I'm liable to take a slip
But I don't care how cold you are
I'm coming home soon
I'm gonna make you a star
Yeah yeah
We gonna make you a star
We gonna make you a star
Oh is he more, too much more, than a pretty face?

There's Something About You lyrics - David Essex
Oh there's something about you baby
Something that's hard to explain
But I don't want you to change it
Please don't re-arrange it
I just want you to always stay the same
Though the things in my life keep on changing
And the things that people say can really hurt
With love by my side girl I know I'll be alright
'Cause love is a reassuring word
And when I'm feeling down and all alone
How good to know your waiting there at home
You've been there through the good through the bad times
Said you helped me when lines wouldn't rhyme
But with love that's been so strong girl
You helped me sing my song
How could a love like ours be wrong
Hey be wrong
With love that's been so strong yeah
You helped me sing my song
How could a love like ours be wrong
Oh there's something about you baby
Yeah something that's hard to explain
But I don't want you to change no
Please don't re-arrange it
I just want you to always stay the same
Stay the same
Oh there's something about you baby,
Yeah
Something that's hard to explain
But I don't want you to change it
Please don't re-arrange it
I just want you to always stay the same
Though the things in my life keep on changing
And the things that people say can really hurt
With love by my side girl I know I'll be alright
'Cause love is a reassuring word
And when I'm feeling down and all alone
How good to know your waiting there at home
You've been there through the good through the bad times
Said you helped me when lines wouldn't rhyme
But with love that's been so strong girl
You helped me sing my song
How could a love like ours be wrong

Good Ol' Rock & Roll lyrics - David Essex
Like a schoolboy shakin' and quakin'
(You feel them up for your rooms) [?]
Like a king's jester
You made me fester
Teaching me to be your fool
Well you told me I got to be something
So I set for engineer
Well you gave a book, I gave you my look
I say get on outta here
And it was good ol' rock'n'roll
That saved this beast and soul
It was good ol' rock'n'roll
That dragged me from below
Well I needed to know the answer
But I didn't get it from you
I was sick of fighting, fussing and fighting
I needed to get through
So I joined a rock'n'roll band
Now I'm the leader yes I am
Hey look a one in a mill shot
I'm making a deal ooh
Hey look out rockin' band
And it was good ol' rock'n'roll
That saved this beast and soul
It was good ol' rock'n'roll
That dragged me from below
God bless Buddy Holly, peggy sue
God bless Eddie Cochran, summertime blues
God bless Little Richard, wop bop alu bop, wop bam boom
God bless you, rockin' on too, rock on
It was good ol' rock'n'roll
That saved this beast and soul
It was good ol' rock'n'roll
That dragged me from below
And it was good ol' rock'n'roll
That dragged me from from below
It was good ol' rock'n'roll
That saved this beast and soul
It was good ol' rock'n'roll
That saved this beast and soul
It was good ol' rock'n'roll
Dragged me from below
It was good ol' rock'n'roll
That saved this beasted soul
It was good ol' rock'n'roll
That dragged me from below
It was good ol' rock'n'roll
That dragged me from below
It was good ol' rock'n'roll
That dragged me from below

America lyrics - David Essex
Flew out of London for the New York City
Ooh, look out boys a 'cause it looks so pretty
I'm in America, America-ca-ca, ahaha
Saw this nice man he came collect me from Kennedy
I said to DP is it New York City
He said America, America-ca-ca, aha
We're in America, America-ca-ca, ahaha
Well I really didn't wanna go there
But the man said (you gotta go)
Said I really didn't wanna go there
'Till I hit San Francisco
Well I landed in the desert in Phoenix
Drove out to K.U.P.D.
Say I landed in the desert in Phoenix
With the sun shinin' down on me
(Hey now you know you're in)
America, America-ca-ca, ahaha
Watch out!

We're in America, America-ca-ca, ahuha

Ah look what they've done to da rock'n'roll clown

On And On lyrics - David Essex
You're like a song
A song dat come and go
Beneath the chord
A melody that seems to linger on
You're on and on
A movie queen
The sequin goddess of the movie screen
Picture of a picture that I've seen
You're on and on
You're my song
Her clown can cry
His tears will fill our eyes
The memories that you've seen
Were made of velvetine
Your yesterdays have gone
But yesterdays live on
You're on and on
A magic spell
A shooting star
That sound like a silver bell
Something out of heaven must have fell
You're on and on
Oh let it ring
The magic a magician gets to sing
Let me be your blue eyed harlequin
You're on and on
You're on and on
You're my song
You're on and on
You're my song
A song dat come and go
Beneath the chord
A melody that seems to linger on
You're on and on
A movie queen
The sequin goddess of the movie screen
Picture of a picture that I've seen
You're on and on
You're my song
Her clown can cry
His tears will fill our eyes
The memories that you've seen
Were made of velvetine
Your yesterdays have gone
But yesterdays live on
You're on and on
A magic spell
A shooting star
That sound like a silver bell
Something out of heaven must have fell
You're on and on
Oh let it ring
The magic a magician gets to sing
Let me be your blue eyed harlequin
You're on and on
You're on and on
You're my song
You're on and on
You're my song

Ocean Girl lyrics - David Essex
I bought this airline ticket
For an island in the sun
Two week holiday just filled with fun
But I've see this brown eyed lady
With a flower in her hair
My holiday is done
It's so unfair

Oh, ocean girl
See you diving for pearls
I love the way you twirl

Say that you in love with him
Threw my coconut at his chin

Bring In The Sun lyrics - David Essex
Finger of light reaches through the red curtain
High on the rooftop, greeting his son
Lying beside me, secure in your dreamworld
A glow on your face from the light of the Sun
Gently the morning begins it's intrusion
Enters the mind with a hesitant hum
Images move within eyes not yet open
Telling the senses a new day has come
And the warmth from the light through the window
Signals a new world's begun
Let the Sun come into your life
Bring in the Sun
Let the Sun come into your life
Bring in the Sun
If you see it shine in the morning time
Your day is won
Let the Sun come into your life
Bring in the Sun
Bring in the Sun
Hours of flying, wheels in motion
A process for living, steadily done (it's done)
I fight for a moment to see your reflection
To picture your face in the soft morning Sun
But the warmth from the light through the window
Signals a new world's begun (yeah)
Let the Sun come into your life
Bring in the Sun
Let the Sun come into your life
Bring in the Sun
If you see it shine in the morning time
Your day is won
Let the Sun come into your life
Bring in the Sun
Bring in the Sun
High on the rooftop, greeting his son
Lying beside me, secure in your dreamworld
A glow on your face from the light of the Sun
Gently the morning begins it's intrusion
Enters the mind with a hesitant hum
Images move within eyes not yet open
Telling the senses a new day has come
And the warmth from the light through the window
Signals a new world's begun
Let the Sun come into your life
Bring in the Sun
Let the Sun come into your life
Bring in the Sun
If you see it shine in the morning time
Your day is won
Let the Sun come into your life
Bring in the Sun
Bring in the Sun
Hours of flying, wheels in motion
A process for living, steadily done (it's done)
I fight for a moment to see your reflection
To picture your face in the soft morning Sun
But the warmth from the light through the window
Signals a new world's begun (yeah)
Let the Sun come into your life
Bring in the Sun
Let the Sun come into your life
Bring in the Sun
If you see it shine in the morning time
Your day is won
Let the Sun come into your life
Bring in the Sun
Bring in the Sun
For Emily, Whenever I May Find Her lyrics - David Essex
(originally by Simon And Garfunkel)
What a dream I had, pressed in organdie
Clothed in crinoline of smoky Burgundy
Softer than the rain.
I wandered empty streets down, past the shop displays
I heard cathedral bells, dripping down the alley ways
As I walked on.
And when you ran to me your, cheeks flushed with the night
We walked on frosted fields, of juniper and lamplight
I held your hand.
And when I awoke, felt you warm and near
I kissed your honey hair, with my grateful tears
Oh I love you girl
Oh I love, you
Girl
What a dream I had, pressed in organdie
Clothed in crinoline of smoky Burgundy
Softer than the rain.
I wandered empty streets down, past the shop displays
I heard cathedral bells, dripping down the alley ways
As I walked on.
And when you ran to me your, cheeks flushed with the night
We walked on frosted fields, of juniper and lamplight
I held your hand.
And when I awoke, felt you warm and near
I kissed your honey hair, with my grateful tears
Oh I love you girl
Oh I love, you

We All Insane lyrics - David Essex
Everyday and I'm sick of tryin'
Gonna make it on my own

Sept. 15th lyrics - David Essex
I've been doing a show for a long time
A show about a friend of mine
Took up all ma time
'Cause I've made my face
To get it on for the last time
With our movements of mime
We could always make it work
Me and my friends of mine
And I wanna thank you
For every single time
That you broke my bread
And drank that rose hip wine
As I say goodbye
With a tear in my eye
A show about a friend of mine
Took up all ma time
'Cause I've made my face
To get it on for the last time
With our movements of mime
We could always make it work
Me and my friends of mine
And I wanna thank you
For every single time
That you broke my bread
And drank that rose hip wine
As I say goodbye
With a tear in my eye
Bright Eyes lyrics - David Essex
Is it a kind of dream floating out of the tide
Following the river of death downstream or is it a dream
There's a fog along the horizon a strange glow in the sky
And nobody seems to know where you go and what does it mean
Or is it a dream
Bright eyes burning like fire
Bright eyes how can you close and fail
How can the light that burned so brightly
Suddenly burn so pale bright eyes
Is it a kind of shadow reaching into the night
Wandering over the hills unseen or is it a dream
There's a high wind in the trees a cold sound in the air
And nobody ever knows when you go and where do you start
Oh into the dark
Bright eyes burning like fire
Bright eyes how can you close and fail
How can the light that burned so brightly
Suddenly burn so pale bright eyes
Bright eyes burning like fire
Bright eyes how can you close and fail
How can the light that burned so brightly
Suddenly burn so pale bright eyes
Pretty Thing lyrics - David Essex
Oh is he more, too much more than a pretty face
It's so strange the way he talk, it's a disgrace
Well I know I've been out of style
For a short while
But I don't care how cold you are
I'm coming home soon
I'm gonna make you a star, yeah
Well he say he's into his music
But I don't believe it
He just doesn't seem to understand the rock media
Well I know I'm not super hip
And I'm liable to take a slip
But I don't care how cold you are
I'm coming home soon
I'm gonna make you a star, yeah, yeah
We gonna make ya a star
We gonna make ya a star
Oh is he more, too much more than a pretty face
(I don't think so)
It's so strange the way he talkin', it's a disgrace
Well I know I've out of style
For a short while
But you see I don't care how cold you are
I'm coming home soon
I'm gonna make you a star, yeah
We gonna make ya a star
We gonna make ya a star
We gonna make ya a star
We gonna make ya a star
We gonna make ya a star
It's so strange the way he talk, it's a disgrace
Well I know I've been out of style
For a short while
But I don't care how cold you are
I'm coming home soon
I'm gonna make you a star, yeah
Well he say he's into his music
But I don't believe it
He just doesn't seem to understand the rock media
Well I know I'm not super hip

St. Elmo's Fire (Man In Motion) lyrics - David Essex
Growin' up you don't see the writing on the wall.
Passin' by, movin' straight ahead you knew it all.
But maybe sometime if you feel the pain,
You'll find you're all alone; everything has changed.
Play the game; you know you can't quit until it's won.
Soldier of only you can do what must be done.
You know, in some ways you're a lot like me.
You're just a prisoner, and you're tryin' to break free.
I can see a new horizon underneath the blazing sky.
I'll be where the eagle's flying higher and higher.
Gonna be your man in motion.
All I need is a pair of wheels.
Take me where the future's lying: St. Elmo's fire.
Burning up; don't know just how far that I can go.
Soon be home; only just a few miles down the road.
And I can make it, I know I can.
You broke the boy in me, but you won't break the man.
I can see a new horizon underneath the blazing sky.
I'll be where the eagle's flying higher and higher.
Gonna be your man in motion.
All I need is a pair of wheels.
Take me where the future's lying: St. Elmo's fire.
I can climb the highest mountain, cross the widest sea.
I can feel St. Elmo's fire burning in me, burning in me.
Just once in his life a man has his time.
And my time is now; I'm comin' alive.
I can see a new horizon underneath the blazing sky.
I'll be where the eagle's flying higher and higher.
Gonna be your man in motion.
All I need is a pair of wheels.
Take me where the future's lying: St. Elmo's fire.
I can hear the music playin'; I can see the banners fly.
Feel like a vet again. I hope I ain't high!
Gonna be your man in motion; all I need is a pair of wheels.
Passin' by, movin' straight ahead you knew it all.
But maybe sometime if you feel the pain,
You'll find you're all alone; everything has changed.
Play the game; you know you can't quit until it's won.
Soldier of only you can do what must be done.
You know, in some ways you're a lot like me.
You're just a prisoner, and you're tryin' to break free.
I can see a new horizon underneath the blazing sky.
I'll be where the eagle's flying higher and higher.
Gonna be your man in motion.
All I need is a pair of wheels.
Take me where the future's lying: St. Elmo's fire.
Burning up; don't know just how far that I can go.
Soon be home; only just a few miles down the road.
And I can make it, I know I can.
You broke the boy in me, but you won't break the man.
I can see a new horizon underneath the blazing sky.
I'll be where the eagle's flying higher and higher.
Gonna be your man in motion.
All I need is a pair of wheels.
Take me where the future's lying: St. Elmo's fire.
I can climb the highest mountain, cross the widest sea.
I can feel St. Elmo's fire burning in me, burning in me.
Just once in his life a man has his time.
And my time is now; I'm comin' alive.
I can see a new horizon underneath the blazing sky.
I'll be where the eagle's flying higher and higher.
Gonna be your man in motion.
All I need is a pair of wheels.
Take me where the future's lying: St. Elmo's fire.
I can hear the music playin'; I can see the banners fly.
Feel like a vet again. I hope I ain't high!
Gonna be your man in motion; all I need is a pair of wheels.
The Artilleryman Returns lyrics - David Essex
[JOURNALIST:] Again, I was on my way to London, through towns and villages that
were blackened ruins, totally silent, desolate, deserted. Man's empire had passed away,
taken swiftly and without error, by these creatures who were composed entirely of
brain. Unhampered by the complex systems which make up man, they made and used
different bodies according to their needs. They never tired, never slept and never
suffered, having long since eliminated from their planet the bacteria which cause all
fevers and other morbidities.
[ARTILLERYMAN:] Halt! Who goes there?
[JOURNALIST:] Er - friend.
[ARTILLERYMAN:] Be on your way. This is my territory.
[JOURNALIST:] Your territory? What do you mean?
[ARTILLERYMAN:] Wait a minute - it's you! The man from Maybury Hill!
[JOURNALIST:] Good heavens! The Artilleryman! I thought you surely burned.
ARTILLERY MAN: I thought you surely drowned.
[JOURNALIST:] Have you seen any Martians?
[ARTILLERYMAN:] Everywhere. We're done for all right.
[JOURNALIST:] We can't just give up.
[ARTILLERYMAN:] Course we can't. It's now we've got to start fighting - but not
against them 'cos we can't win. Now we've got to fight for survival, and I reckon we can
make it. I've got a plan.
[ARTILLERYMAN:] We're gonna build a whole new world for ourselves. Look, they
clap eyes on us and we're dead, right?
So we gotta make a new life where they'll never find us. You know where?
Underground.
You should see it down there - hundreds of miles of drains - sweet and clean now after
the rain, dark, quiet, safe. We can build houses and everything, start again from scratch.
And what's so bad about living underground eh? It's not been so great living up here, if
you want my opinion.
Take a look around you at the world we've come to know
Does it seem to be much more than a crazy circus show
But maybe from the madness something beautiful will grow
In a brave new world
With just a handful of men
We'll start - we'll start all over again - all over again - all over again - all over again
We'll build shops and hospitals and barracks right under their noses - right under their
feet! Everything we need - banks, prisons and schools... We'll send scouting parties to
collect books and stuff, and men like you'll teach the kids. Not poems and rubbish -
science, so we can get everything working. We'll build villages and towns and... and...
we'll play each other at cricket! Listen, maybe one day we'll capture a Fighting Machine,
eh? Learn how to make 'em ourselves and then wallop! Our turn to do some wiping out!
Whoosh with our Heat Ray - Whoosh! And them running and dying, beaten at their own game. Man on top again!
Now our domination of the Earth is fading fast
And out of the confusion the chance has come at last
To build a better future from the ashes of the past
In a brave new world
With just a handful of men
We'll start all over again
Look - Man is born in freedom but he soon becomes a slave
In cages of convention from the cradle to the grave
The weak fall by the wayside but the strong will be saved
In a brave new world
With just a handful of men
We'll start all over again
I'm not trying to tell you what to be
Oh no, oh no, not me
But if mankind is to survive
The people left alive
They're gonna have to build this world anew
And it's going to have to start with me and you
Yes!
I'm not trying to tell you what to be
Oh no, oh no, not me
But if mankind is to survive
The people left alive
They're gonna have to build this world anew
Yes and we will have to be the chosen few
Just think of all the poverty, the hatred and the lies
And imagine the destruction of all that you despise
Slowly from the ashes the phoenix will arise
In a brave new world
With just a handful of men
We'll start all over again
Take a look around you at the world you've loved so well
And bid the ageing empire of man a last farewell
It may not sound like Heaven but at least it isn't Hell
It's a brave new world
With just a handful of men
We'll start - we'll start all over again - all over again - all over again - all over again.
I've got a plan!
Can't you just see it? Civilization starting all over again - a second chance.
We'll even build a railway and tunnel to the coast, go there for our holidays.
Nothing can stop men like us. I've made a start already. Come on down here and have a look.
[JOURNALIST:] In the cellar was a tunnel scarcely ten yards long, that had taken him a week to dig.
I could have dug that much in a day, and I suddenly had my first inkling of the gulf between his dreams and his powers.
[ARTILLERYMAN:] It's doing the workin' and the thinkin' that wears a feller out.
I'm ready for a bit of a rest. How about a drink eh? Nothing but champagne, now I'm the boss.
[JOURNALIST:] We drank and then he insisted upon playing cards.
With our species on the edge of extermination, with no prospect but a horrible death, we actually played games.
Later, he talked more of his plan, but I saw flames flashing in the deep blue night.
Red weed glowing, tripod figures moving distantly - and I put down my champagne glass.
I felt a traitor to my kind and I knew I must leave this strange dreamer.
[ARTILLERYMAN:] Take a look around you at the world we've come to know
