Winter Came and winter went We stayed in and kept warm Spring Days the flowers scent Feeling glad that we were born We were young we had our dreams Who knew what lay ahead? Beginning end and in-between Laughs laughed and tears shed Shifting sands, moving time Seasons come and years go But we still spend our days In Reminiscence Road Food was fresh the air was clean Summers seem to last forever We worked hard we had our play We took life at our leisure Those times are past us now We look back on days gone by The memories remain somehow Sunny days and clear blue sky Shifting sands, moving time Seasons come and years go But we still spend our days In Reminiscence Road There was a place I used to go Where people seemed so kind These days it’s hard to know Why it was left behind From the air it seems the same The distance helps the lie Shows where the towering flame Meets the blood red sky Shifting sands, moving time Seasons come and years go But we still spend our days In Reminiscence Road

The time to cry is gone So dry your tears Think about moving on Your so called friends have let you down They always will You don't need them around Today's a brand new day So make that start Look for a better way I know it's hard for you to see But just for once Have some trust in me So open your ears There's things I want you to hear Hey don't walk away I've got something to say And I think you should listen now Hey don't walk away I've got something to say And you really should listen now Don't forget how much you've got What you really need It's not a lot If the world sees you differently Don't fret or cry Fight vanity Believe me when I say I only want to keep you safe Hey don't walk away I've got something to say And I think you should listen now Hey don't walk away I've got something to say And you really should listen now I know it's hard but that's ok Tomorrow's easier than today Hey don't walk away I've got something to say And I think you should listen now Hey don't walk away I've got something to say And you really should listen now

Down There 02:56
When I woke this morning Tears were in my eyes I dreamed that I saw Jesus He was standing by my side He said what are you doing boy? Do you feel my pain? I've told you many times before I'll tell you once again You'll never get to heaven Unless you really care If you don't get to heaven Boy you're going down there So I packed my suitcase Started to drive I didn't know which way to go Just glad to be alive I drove past the devil's gates There he was inside I said come on now Lucifer I'll take you for a ride You'll never get to heaven Unless you really care If you don't get to heaven Boy you're going down there I went out in the country To see if anybody cared The farmer and the banker Were waiting for me there I said now listen to me I've a message for you both They ignored me and carried on Praying for economic growth You'll never get to heaven Unless you really care If you don't get to heaven Boy you're going down there

Mining Man 03:20
This winter’s so harsh Too cold to breathe I hold my hands to the fire Coughing gets worse most every day I must battle on Show them I’m strong I’m a mining man A mining man Living my life underground I’m a mining man A mining man Praying I’ll come home safe and sound There’s 4 kids at home Needing feeding A baby that cries all day long There’s no luxury Just more drudgery But for them I have to keep on Last week they laid off a hundred The month before many more We work as we should But it don’t do no good When the company shows you the door The lift gates bang We start to go down Begin another shift Eight hours in the damp With just light from me lamp Before I get back in that lift

Foot Down 03:30

The first ray of light The first song of dawn The first sound we hear When a new child is born The start of a day The end of a night The touch of a hand The stars shining bright And the world turns Turning and turning And the world turns And the world turns Turning and turning And the world turns To stand and to fight To love and to hold To dream and to dare To stand strong and bold A body decays Now clost to the grave Somebody's scared Someone is brave The grass in the fields The sand on the shore The tide flowing in The vast ocean's roar All that is said All that is done Is all cast away Through the power of the sun

Doorbell ring, a windy night You're buttoned up to the cold You tell me things, put me right Try to get me in the fold You'll give me life, change my world You've got everything I need You leave pamphlets, book a call Arrange a time for a meet Hey Hey little priestess Won't you please save me I know you can make me grow in your company I meet your friends, say hello Try to keep it all sweet They look o.k, a little weird I guess that happens in the streets They like to smile, all the time With their mouths but not their eyes They ooze grace, faith and goodness I'm sure they're very wise Hey Hey little priestess Won't you please save me I know you can make me grow in your company I'm caught between the devil and deep blue sea I was lost till you came along and rescued my eternity You ask for cash, every month To keep things ticking on So I'll leave you to your prayers It's time that I was gone Hey Hey little priestess Won't you please save me I know you can make me grow in your company

Boarded up flats on estates where gangs go to fight Homeless asleep in shop doorways bed down for the night Takeaway drivers feed armchair football fans On line shopping in Tesco delivery vans Driving at night through London Town Driving at night through London Town Black cabs with yellow for hire signs in the rain The night bus to Clapham south of the river again All night petrol with windows to pay for your fuel Groups on street corners with kids trying to look cool Driving at night through London Town Driving at night through London Town City workers asleep on trains to the coast Sorters and porters prepare to deliver the post Tube trains rattling through metropolitan sprawl Bentleys in Knightsbridge reduced to a crawl Driving at night through London Town Driving at night through London Town

Choices 03:35
The lies we tell the truth denied Those in need as we walk by These are the choices we make The songs we sing the books we’ve read The thoughts fermenting in our head These are the choices we make When we choose, what do we lose? What do we gain? These are the choices we make Those we love and those we hate The slamming doors the open gate These are the choices we make The dreams we dream our future plans Is destiny within our hands? These are the choices we make When we choose, what do we lose? What do we gain? These are the choices we make Do you teach your children right from wrong? Do they have a home where they belong? These are the choices we make Can you feel someone else’s pain? Would you help them again and again? These are the choices we make When we choose, what do we lose? What do we gain? These are the choices we make

Quiet Town 02:58
The faces seem the same The days just come and go In sunshine, rain or snow The road seems so enticing You don't care where it leads This time you'll really leave You, don't want to stay forever Don't want to settle down Living in a quiet town Walking out of your front door Along familiar streets There's no one new to meet The lonely here beside you The drinkers in the park The foxes after dark On your better days You say things could be worse But self-delusion fades Like a speeding hearse You, don't want to stay forever Don't want to settle down Living in a quiet town
