To France
Vocals: Maggie Reilly

    Taking on Water
    Sailing a restless sea
    From a memory
    A fantasy
    The wind carries
    Into white water
    Far from the islands
    Don't you know you're

      Never going to get to France
      Mary Queen of chance will they find you
      Never going to get to France
      Could a new romance ever bind you

    Walking on foreign ground
    Like a shadow
    Roaming in far off
    Territory
    Over your shoulder
    Stories unfold you're
    searching for sanctuary
    you know you're

      Chorus

    I see a picture
    by the lamp's flicker
    Isn't it strange
    How dreams fade and shimmer

      Chorus

    I see a picture
    by the lamp's flicker
    Isn't it strange
    how dreams fade and shimmer

      Chorus

      Never going to get to France


Poison Arrows
Vocals: Barry Palmer

    Silence in the air
    Is anybody there
    Searching every sound
    Walking on quiet ground

      Somebody's out to get you
      Hiding in shadows - Poison Arrows
      Somebody's out to break you
      Hiding in narrows - Poison arrows

    When you gonna break
    Watching every move you make
    And everything you do
    Evil eyes'll be on you

      Chorus

    Don't give in, don't come any closer, no sir
    Keep running, coming in closer, closer
    Don't give in, don't come any closer, no sir
    Keep running, coming in closer, closer

    What you gonna do
    Time is running out on you
    Anywhere you choose
    Anyway you're gonna lose

      Chorus


Crystal Gazing
Vocals: Maggie Reilly

    Watching for a spark
    It's a moonlight show
    Reaching through the dark
    Do you have to go
    Try to put a message through
    To your sweetheart
    Won't you like to know the secrets
    Of the heart

      Crystal gazing
      Crystal gazing
      What you gonna find in
      Crystal gazing

    Voices in the dark
    And the lights burn low
    Teach yourself the art
    That you never know
    Try to put a message through
    To your sweetheart
    Won't you like to know the secrets
    Of the heart

      Chorus

    Pictures from the night
    Would you be my guide
    What you talk about
    On the other side
    Carry a message through
    To your sweetheart
    Won't you like to know the secrets
    Of the heart

      Chorus

      Chorus

    Watching for a spark
    It's a moonlight show
    Reaching through the dark
    Do you have to go
    Try to put a message through
    To your sweetheart
    Won't you like to know the secrets
    Of the heart


Tricks of the Light
Vocals: Maggie Reilly and Barry Palmer

    I'm half a crazy man
    Waiting for confirmation
    Signs keep changing and
    I need some more information

    Some tricks of the light
    You never know
    Make a flickering midnight light
    Into a glow

    It's a trick of the light
    It's a trick of the light

    Something tells me how
    Her bright blue eyes are smiling
    She turns her head now
    Will she won't deny him

    Some tricks of the light
    You never know
    Make a flickering midnight light
    Into a glow
    And the spark you saw so bright
    Was just for show
    Could it ever have turned out right
    You'll never know

    It's a trick of the light
    It's a trick of the light

    She turns and take his hand
    Breaking his concentration
    She burns at his command
    Makes some transfiguration

    Some tricks of the light etc.
    You never know


Discovery
Vocals: Barry Palmer

    When you want the score
    When you need a helping hand
    Ad you find closed doors
    And you're back where you began
    Keeping those secrets
    Telling those lies
    Can anybody tell me what's the big surprise

      Discovery
      Who has the chance to know it all
      Discovery
      Give me some truth, stop making me crawl

    How can you sleep
    How can you turn away
    Thinking so cheap
    Some day you're gonna pay
    You're keeping secrets
    Can anyone tell me why the big surprise

      Chorus

    Give me some chance
    Give me some confidence
    Won't you please set me free
    Won't someone deliver me
    Who's keeping secrets
    I got my spies
    Does anybody think we live in paradise

      Chorus


Talk About Your Life
Vocals: Maggie Reilly

    Walking out
    in the street light midnight
    Whispering wind catch
    me in a headlight
    Talk about
    your life I'd like to know
    It's not easy
    going where no-one goes
    and no-one knows

      Do we have to be so distant
      How can you be so unreal
      What's the reason for hiding and
      How does crying make you feel?

    I can see you're
    talking to me in riddles
    Do what you like
    You go where the wind blows
    Talk about
    your life I'd like to know
    It's not easy
    going where no-one goes
    and no one-knows

      Chorus

    I reach for a certain disguise
    that you're weaving
    And I can tell by the mist in your eyes
    that you're dreaming,
    dreaming

    Do we have to be so distant?
    How can you be so unreal?

    In the clouds
    running and chasing shadows
    In the crowd
    Frozen in a window
    Talk about
    your life I'd like to know
    it's not easy
    going where no-one goes
    and no-one knows

    Chorus


Saved By A Bell
Vocals: Barry Palmer

    Won't you like to look through
    my telescope
    The Milky Way's a fine sight to see

    All around our universe
    We try so hard to view
    What's new
    Make a trip down to Sagittarius
    And take a spin by some nebula
    I hope the sky stays clear for us
    Tonight goes on so far
    in stars

      Saved by a bell
      Suffer in Hell
      But you were to blind to tell
      Saved by a bell
      Suffer in Hell
      And you made it through so well

    Shining like bright diamonds the galaxies
    Jupiter and Saturn spin by
    Passing by companions
    They all go drifting by they fly
    Carry me down to see Aquarius
    We're hoping to meet a shooting star
    I can see there's gonna be
    A message from afar
    How close we are

      Chorus
