Ballad for a Modern Man
06:28
|
|||
I’m in love with the modern world
I’m in love with modern feelings
I don’t reap, and I don’t sow
I just think about modern feelings
A modern man needs a modern girl
A modern man in a modern world
I go outside, I leave my room
See traffic lights in full bloom

A Happy Town
06:29
|
|||
The happy town is full of happy people
The happy church has a happy steeple
The happy people live happy lives
Happy husbands, happy wives
Happy news on the TV screen
We’re all one big happy world it seems
Happy people never disagree
Happy people like you and me
The happy town is full of fruits
Who march and sing in rainbow boots
See them marching through that happy world
See those happy boys and girls
This happy world is rough
Sometimes I worry that I’m not neurotic enough

Forward Progress
05:38
|
|||
A storm blows up from paradise
Forward progress
Change the channel, roll the dice
Forward progress
Ships are sailing o’er the main
Forward progress
Their engines make a sweet refrain
Forward progress
Tomorrow better than before
Forward progress
Memory thrown overboard
Forward progress
I walk this road forever, I walk this road forever
Good road, good road
Bad weather
I walk this road forever, I walk this road forever

Wake Up Dead
04:05
|
|||
If you’re troubled with despair and dread
Or worrying in your bed
Just remember today instead
That tomorrow, tomorrow you might wake up dead
Wake up dead – oh Lord!
Tomorrow you might wake up dead
Wake up dead – oh Lord!
Tomorrow you might wake up dead
There’s a road stretched out ahead
And it’s down that road we tread
Today say what was unsaid
Cos tomorrow, tomorrow you might wake up dead
Wake up dead – oh Lord!
Tomorrow you might wake up dead
Wake up dead – oh Lord!
Tomorrow you might wake up dead

These Days
04:51
|
|||
Who can say how the story ends?
Who can say, Lord who can know?
I forgot my lines when I went onstage
And now it’s nearly time to go
These days, so strange – they say what’s odd is even
One day, I swear – I’ll bid farewell to reason
Who can tell what it really means?
Where is the script for my small part?
I can’t recall what I was meant to say
But your name’s written on my heart…
These days, so strange – they say what’s odd is even
One day, I swear – I’ll bid farewell to reason
No more lonesome valleys
No more heavy loads
You can fly my heart into the sun
Or you can dance me down the road…
These days, so strange – they say what’s odd is even
One day, I swear – I’ll bid farewell to reason

Onward, Forward
04:42
|
|||
Onward, onward – there’s no turning back
We’re going onward, forward – on down the track
Onward, onward – all through the night!
We’re marching onwards, forwards – come what might!
Nameless faces, look to the sky as one
When over the ruins, comes a Rising Sun
Dawn of morning, we salute at last
We return to the future, of a golden past…
