Shattered Dreams 03:42
lyrics
buy track
You can't go on Building your world upon shattered dreams You can't go on living your life in the past Oh, no, you've got to learn to realise It wasn't what it seems Foolish plans in careless hands It was never gonna last You can't go on Wasting your love on a broken heart You can't go on wanting what's already gone Oh, no, you've got to realise that you're worlds apart Distant days, a different place It's over and done Just don't go on wishing and turning your hopes Into shattered dreams The pieces are missing just look around There's nothing there Don't think that there's somebody waiting Who understands how it feels No one's gonna know No one's gonna care You can't go on Hiding away from reality You can't go on seeking what you'll never find Oh, no, you've got to learn to realise it's all fantasy Twisted views, altered truths You're losing your mind Just don't go on wishing and turning your hopes Into shattered dreams The pieces are missing just look around There's nothing there Don't think that there's somebody waiting Who understands how it feels No one's gonna know No one's gonna care

Lovers Make You Cry 04:42
lyrics
buy track
Well, I’ve lived my life like a rolling stone By myself and on my own Travelling like my feet don't touch the ground But I've let some people get close to me Closer than they ought to be And all they ever seemed to do was let me down Lovers make you cry Lovers always break your heart Hold you like they'll never let you go Then they tell a lie Then they tear your world apart Better if you just keep on moving down the road Well, I've heard them say what I want to hear When all my troubles disappear And make me feel like I'm the only one And yesterday's old broken schemes Were turning into hopes and dreams And then tomorrow all my chances gone Lovers make you cry Lovers always break your heart Hold you like they'll never let you go Then they tell a lie Then they tear your world apart Better if you just keep on moving down the road

Like A Fool 04:09
lyrics
buy track
Now I can hear them laugh Is it so amusing? There are only strangers here And all so cruel And I know what they’re thinking There are no lovers Like a fool Who needs these people now? I’m tired of losing Who needs their lukewarm hearts That quickly cool? When I know what they’re saying There are no lovers Like a fool Things seem so different now I see right through their lies And when I need the truth I just look in their eyes The walls they build themselves Are of their choosing They’re so convinced their dreams Will all come true And all the while they tell me There are no lovers Like a fool

As Cold As Ice 04:22
lyrics
buy track
The nights are colder, closing in on me But I remember how it used to be Now I feel I’m sinking under Everything just seems to get me down There used to be a time I know It never felt like that I used to see a love light in your eyes Melting rivers of gold Too hot to hold Now your heart’s as cold as ice The nights seem longer, just go on and on And now I wonder where the love has gone Just the sound of distant thunder It's all over and done There used to be a time I know It never felt like that I used to see a love light in your eyes Melting rivers of gold Too hot to hold Now your heart’s as cold as ice

Living In This City 03:27
lyrics
buy track
Living in this city People looking out for pity All you see around is Loneliness and fear Don't know what they're gaining Always crying and complaining They're convinced we'll never Make it out of here But I know they're wrong Don't you listen to them If you'll only believe in me We could make life What we want it to be If we stand and fight You know it's gonna be alright Loving you is sheer delight What more could we ask? We can only reach the highest height When you and me are taking flight We're heading for the stars tonight We're never coming back Living in this city Where the neon lights are pretty But they're only there To hide you from the truth We could leave it all behind us And go where they'll never find us There's nothing here So what have we to lose? Cos I know they're wrong Don't you listen to them If you'll only believe in me If we stand and fight You know it's gonna be alright Loving you is sheer delight What more could we ask? We can only reach the highest height When you and me are taking flight We're heading for the stars tonight We're never coming back

Rosie's Bar 03:40
lyrics
buy track
Let's go down to Rosie's Bar Well I could use a drink And show those turncoats who we are And tell them what we think Cut them down to size And damn their lies Damn their hearts And damn their eyes A new day's just begun And we're still moving on So let's go down to Rosie's Bar Though there might be a fight Cos this time they've all gone too far Let's show them we were right How we'd read the signs Of the changing times Not just open mouths And closed up minds Their old ways are all done But we're still moving on Those halcyon days are in the past And their constant ways are changing fast Gonna wake up with the sun And we're still moving on

Run For Your Life 03:49
lyrics
buy track
Down in the sewer there's a new game Selling tears just to cloud up your eyes Then they stab you in the back When you're sleeping Down in the gutter there's a new way You can't tell the truth from the lies And they steal all the secrets your keeping Better run for your life You're in danger You taught your children too well Now they're taking sweets from a stranger In this hell Up on a cloud they put an angel With a smile that could turn you to stone Yet they're down on their knees and they're praying Hiding in the shadows is the jackal He's waiting to get you alone Then he's in for the kill and the slaying Better run for your life No use fighting He's prepared for the battle too well And he'll cut you faster than lightning In this hell Down in the ground are the memories But they may as well have never been born For they lived and they died all for nothing Out on a limb are the dreamers But the chances they hoped for are gone And hate is the new way of loving Better run for your life Can't you see it? We all know the answer too well But some just don't want to believe it In this hell

She's Not For You 03:23
lyrics
buy track
I used to think that they were trying to be cruel And I'd lose my head Trying to make me look like some kind of fool Every time they said She's not for you You're from the wrong side of the track Better walk right back She moves too fast She doesn't show it But she's out of your class And don't think she doesn't know it She's not for you Maybe she'll want you for a while It makes her smile To think she could break up your heart If you let her Buy you'd be better off Trying to forget her And so I'd turn and put my back to the wall And say "You just don't know" "You don't care about my feelings at all" And then they'd tell me so She's not for you She's only playing her little game They're all the same She likes to feel your attention upon her She'll never need you the way that you want her Cos she's not for you Just look at everything she's got Everything you're not Before she starts to set your world on fire Just turn your head away and walk right on by her

Even Now 03:39
lyrics
buy track
Even now And after everything I've done Yes, even now I still go on I don't know how I ever kept this dream alive And yet somehow it has survived Even now Through all the cold and lonely years Yes, even now I hide the tears I won't allow Those cruel hearts to have their way I'll always vow to win the day When you're outside In the cold looking in Don't let them keep you Begging at the door If you've nothing Worth giving up your life Then you've nothing worth living for When you're outside In the black of the night Don't let them keep you Stumbling in the dark Don't be afraid to step into the light Out from the shadows in your heart Even now When there's no one left to care Yes, even now you find me here But I won't bow And I won't hide when danger's near I won't be bound to live in fear When you're outside In the cold looking in Don't let them keep you Begging at the door If you've nothing Worth giving up your life Then you've nothing worth living for When you're outside In the black of the night Don't let them keep you Stumbling in the dark Don't be afraid to step into the light Out from the shadows in your heart

On Fire 04:25
lyrics
buy track
Seeing is believing So try to understand And put yourself in my shoes I played into your hands A baptism of fire Fire A baptism of fire Fire Tricked me in a heartbeat I never stood a chance On fire Fire Try to cast your mind back Lazing in the sun All the days were numbered Living on the run A baptism of fire Fire A baptism of fire Fire Cos beggars can't be choosers You've got to take the heat On Fire Standing at the crossroads Back against the wall Slipping through your fingers Pride before a fall A baptism of fire Fire A baptism of fire Fire Thought I’d gone to heaven But I found myself in hell On Fire Fire

about

This was simply the weirdest tour that ever took place. Arlenderre and his band would turn up in a city chosen at random, announce a venue and appear that evening in front of an unbelieving crowd. The entourage then moved on and repeated the process a few days later in another city. The organisation and logistics were challenging to say the least. Sometimes the band stayed in fans homes because hotels couldn't be booked in time. Sometimes they slept in the trucks used to transport the equipment. There were even nights when they camped out in the open and slept under the stars.

But one thing for sure, the tour was exciting and a huge amount of fun. When venues couldn't be arranged, the band put on free shows in abandoned commercial buildings or on derelict land and parking lots. A couple of times they were actually arrested for trespassing and contravening health and safety regulations. So at times it got a bit scary, but it was fantastic to be part of the experience - reminiscent of the hippie days of the 1960's and a real rock and roll road show.
