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

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.
