| Calling All Stations \\\ (Banks/Rutherford) \ \\\ ------------------- ------------------------------------------\ --------- \\\ \\\ Calling all stations\\\ Can \ anybody tell me, tell me exactly where I \ am\\\ I've lost all sense of \ direction\\\ Watchingthe darkness \ closing around me\\\ Feeling the cold all \ through my body\\\ That's why I'm calling \ all stations \\\ In the hope that someone \ hears me\\\ A single lonely voice\\\ \\\ Ifeel \ the sensation disappearing\\\ There's a \ tingling in my arms\\\ And there's a \ numbness in my hands\\\ \\\ All the broken \ promises\\\ All my good intentions don't \ add up to verymuch\\\ And I realise \ whatever happened, whatever \ happened\\\ I remember all the moments \ that I've wasted in my life\\\ All the things I \ was always gonna do\\\ Why is it now \ when it's too late\\\ That I've finally \ realised it's important to me\\\ To think \ that everything that's dear to me \\\ And is \ always in my heart\\\ Could so easily be \ taken \\\ And it's tearing me apart\\\ Going \ over and over in my mind \\\ I reliveit one \ second at a time\\\ \\\ Calling all \ stations\\\ Can anybody tell me, tell me \ exactly where I am\\\ How differentthings \ look when your all on your \ own\\\ Watching the darkness closing all \ around me \\\ All around me\\\ And I'm lost \ with feeling \\\ Of your arms to remind \ me\\\ Of everything that's dear to me \ \\\ And is always in my heart\\\ Could so \ easily be taken \\\ And it's tearing me \ apart\\\ Going over and over in my \ mind\\\ I relive it one second at a \ time\\\ Don't you know there's never been \ a moment\\\ When I haven't had the \ thought\\\ That everything that's dear to \ me \\\ And is always in my heart\\\ Could \ so easily be taken \\\ And it'stearing me \ apart\\\ Going over and over in my \ mind\\\ I relive it one second at a \ time\\\ As I sit here in the darkness \ \\\ Feeling so alone\\\ And everything \ that's dear to me \\\ And is always in my \ heart...\ | ||

| Alien Afternoon \\\ (Banks/Rutherford) \\\ ----------------------------------------------------------------------\\\ \\\ Woke up in themorning staggered out of bed\\\ Thought about getting back again, butwent downstairs instead\\\ Read the daily paper have to know the truth\\\ Slammed the door as I ran outside, looked at my watch and cried\\\ Gotta get to work on time\\\ Gotta get to work on time\\\ \\\ Then the sky turned a deeper blue\\\ Not a cloud as the sun shone through\\\ But all around rain kept falling to the ground\\\ The wind was blowing but the trees didn't make a sound\\\ Just another alien afternoon\\\ Just another alien afternoon\\\ \\\ Time that I was leaving while there's still a chance\\\ Before I start believing in whatI see or hear\\\ Nothing here to keep me, nothing anywhere\\\ Gottaget out pack my bags before I go insane\\\ Gotta get away in time\\\ Gotta get away in time\\\ \\\ Then the sky turned from blue to green\\\ Took on colours I have never seen\\\ Then a sound started ringing in my ears\\\ I heard voices but in truth there's nobody there\\\ Just another alien afternoon\\\ Just another alien afternoon\\\ \\\ To be there back where I belong\\\ To feel again the wind upon my face\\\ To see again all that I took for granted\\\ All that I left and everything I knew\\\ \\\ We are home\\\ We are your home\\\ Weare all your home\\\ \\\ Not another alien afternoon\\\ \\\ Nevermore to go wandering \\\ Never leaving my world behind\\\ \\\ Therewas never a reason \\\ To leave my heart and my home behind\\\ Where I was born is where I should be now\\\ I would never be lonely\\\ I would never be sad again\\\ \\\ I wanted to go anywhere\\\ I wanted to see how strange it all could be\\\ Nothing would ever take me away again\\\ Never more to go wandering\\\ Never leaving my world behind\\\ No, no, no, no\\\ Nothing will ever take me away again, awayagain\\\ No, no, no, no | ||

| The Dividing Line \\\ (Banks/Rutherford) \\\ ----------------------------------------------------------------------\\\ \\\ There has always been a dividing line\\\ But you choose, you choose, yes you choose not to see it\\\ And then you wonder why you fall\\\ It cuts through the heart of every city\\\ If you climb to the top of the highestbuilding\\\ You can see where it falls 'cause the streetlights stop \\\ The colours start to change\\\ You hear a voice inside you\\\ Not the words that you wanted to hear\\\ Not the things that you wantedto see hey, hey, hey, hey\\\ \\\ In the comfort and safety of yourown home\\\ Remember those outside in the cold \\\ And the wind andthe rain\\\ And take in your hands a little ray of light\\\ And turnit into a beam that pierces the darkness of the night\\\ \\\ Therehas always been a dividing line\\\ But you choose, you choose, yes you choose not to see it\\\ Sometimes we believe if we close our eyes \\\ The rain might wash it away\\\ That's why we stumble and we fall\\\ Not the words that you wanted to hear\\\ Not the things that youwanted to see hey, hey, hey, hey\\\ \\\ When everything that you hold dear to you\\\ Has finally faded away from your life\\\ The last cold ray of sunshine slowly disappears\\\ Round the corner of the building\\\ And leaves you alone\\\ When darkness covers the city and the streets are silent too\\\ What will you turn to... | ||
