It’s a force five wind It’s blowing my mind Upsets my soul It’s the hurtin’ kind It can knock down trees It can level the land Creates uncertainties And it’s made by man You can do the Watusi You can run or dance Nothing can stop it it’s just out of our hands Tell you what I’m gonna do Gonna run away with you Caress your body to mine And leave this world behind It’s like a hurricane Coming on through You can’t stop a train When it’s up on you Got no respect for riches And it destroys the skies Breaking up the cities You can hear their cries You can do the Watusi You can run or dance Nothing can stop it it’s just out of our hands tell you what I’m gonna do…

Here she comes in her brand new dress Made up to the eyes, she’s out to impress Make sure she doesn’t catch your eye Sooner or later she’ll make you cry Don’t want her lovin’ and dangerous ways She’ll keep you hungry It’ll last for days You keep the blues and I’ll have the greys Don’t listen to her no matter what she says She’s double trouble She’ll bring you down She’s double trouble When she comes around She’s double trouble Watch what you say She’ll steal your heart away She’s double trouble…

This Is It 04:15
I got my hands to my face I’m amazed at this Well I’m looking through my fingers Cos I don’t wanna miss Somebody on the high wire takin a chance Good luck to you mister Cos I’m one of your fans Baby this is it, I said this is it Somethin’ on my mind disappears from view Been a long time to be thinkin’ it through Everybody needs somebody Am I gettin’ to you This is it, I said this is it We were young and in love We used to dream and shout All the time in the world It was never in doubt Sneakin’ out the back door Going to a show Watch you puttin’ on your makeup Was some time ago This is it, I said this is it I used to play my records they were 45s Get into something reckless Gotta duck before you dive You never stop learnin’ Gettin’ taken by surprise Take the mask off the future It hits you right between the eyes This is it, I said this is it

Soul Cafe 03:30
At the Soul Café, you move on or stay It’s where you make your play for your life It can be found they say, down Mexico way You make decisions on the edge of a knife Reflections of the past, did you move too fast? Feel the pain that lasts just too much And all the love you hide, is on the devil’s side But you can let it loose with just a touch Now you can play the game, to get back the flame That he stole from you in the night You hear evil cries through that thin disguise Can you rescue her without a fight? You can make a deal, for your soul I fear Pray that that would seal her release Then would come the time when you would cross the line And you would have to fire the Guns of Peace

You know that you’ve seen here when she walks through the door Makes your knees go weak as you slip to the floor I like the way she walks when she steps in Well I know what you’re thinkin’ and I know it’s a sin Mean cat woman you sure are somethin’ Moves like a panther when she goes for a man Makes you feel nervous with the touch of her hand I’m a believer cos I’ve seen it before And the way that she moves I feel she’s breakin’ the law Mean cat woman you sure are somethin’ The way you walk on those high steppin’ stilts Makes my soul feel hot right up to the hilt You got a mean, mean smile and real fiery eyes There’s not a man I know who’s up to your size Mean cat woman you sure are somethin’

Got a feeling I’m alone now With a pocket full of dread Got a crazy feeling Voices in my head Got a feeling it’s over I’ve been taken for a ride Got a feeling I’ve been blown here The hell I cried Got a feeling this is madness Got a feeling this is rogue Got a feeling this is sadness Breaking up the vogue Got a feeling I’m not wanted Got this feeling in my blood Got a feeling it’s rejection And it must be understood Got a feeling that it’s over And the judge is satisfied

You can make me shine You can make me glow With my head held high And my toes a-glow When you come to me I feel your special effects I can fly like superman Take on many more quests (Chant) You can give the sun You can give the moon Give me days of fire Give me nights of swoon And if I die right now I’ll be happy to the end of my death That’s a long long time But I won’t be holdin’ my breath (Chant)

Mahavishnu 02:40
I feel at any moment things will drastically change We know these are the times when nothing’s ever the same We choose our own direction so we know who to blame Then we do the Mahavishnu To expect the unexpected and to move with the times Then you find that they’ve neglected just to tell you their crimes It comes around the corner shock attack from behind Then we do the Mahavishnu

I don’t intend playing round with your sister Prefer to sneak up on you I don’t regret the day I kissed her One of these things people do Excuse me while I speak to this guy He’s a friend of mine too Do I see secrets there in your eyes Or just the way he looks at you? By and by now you’re gonna lie Somewhere along the Road By and by now you’re gonna lie Somewhere along the road Why don't you take me back to your place? Ill sure show you a good time I’d like to see the look on your face When you find out who I am By and by now...

Out in the street Headlights are glowing It’s not really going Like we planned On the sweat from the heat Falls the new generation Calls the public relations To the stand Do you wanna see me crawl as the powers go crazy? Would you throw it all away just to make demands No Magic that I know has the power to save this Game of Chance The poison is sweet All over the nation The new limitations Take command Can I fall on my feet With no expectations Leave the distant ovations In your hands?

We’re lookin’ down the barrel of a 45 How far can we travel Can we really survive We’re using up our planet We’re leaving many scars By the time we understand it We’ll be heading out for Mars! I’m up to here with advertisin’ People tellin’ me I’m wrong So it isn’t so surprising That it comes out in this song There’s too much monkey business Gettin’ justice takes too long I’d find a desert isle But there’s an unexploded bomb! Is it too late? The world is knocking at your garden gate. Don’t you know we lost the reason for it all Maybe this is the season for those thoughts Feel the beat of your heart and the sky above Know when things are a lie when push comes to shove They’re givin’ you your heroes They’re pullin’ all the strings Your clock is reading zero Can you really make it sing They make you watch the TV while people sell you things Your image is not perfect but your avatar is king! Is it too late? The world is knocking at your garden gate. Take your eyes from your i-Pod and watch the red sun rise Be at one with some animal and feel their pulses rise Recognise all the nature and everchangin’ skies Take one step to the future and open up your eyes Is it too late? The world is knocking at your garden gate.

Hurry On 04:01
Hurry on, hurry on What’s before hasn’t gone Cross the sea, through the sky Hold your heart, feel your eye Tell the wind, even sing Shout aloud, let it ring Don’t take long on your journey Hurry on. Telling tales of the days When you lived your own ways Sat alone in the cold Just as though you’re made of stone Now it’s over, you’re much bolder Time has gone and you’re much older Just the sun and your body Carry on With each hour, feel the power You’ve become a growing tower But you move as a dove From below, and above You can hear, you can feel Soft green lands at your heel Time has always just begun Hurry on You’re a man in the wilderness A Christopher, an Orpheus A traveller of golden seas The mariner, and Ulysses To prove nothing more Than to move through open doors All the world you have won Hurry on
