There are places we used to play That I still remember There were faces along the way That will always smile It was a labour we loved we were doing Cos nobody made us do it And no one helped us through it but ourselves There are mistakes from back in the day That I still remember All the time that slipped by in the hours we were wasting Some of us never made it through it Whereas others they just blew it And the nearest we came to it was in our minds And we never found a way to the source But the noise didn’t alter our course With no thought of the resources we were spending It was the best of times if we knew On a mission to get through To get nearer to the start before the ending There were guitars made for stars that we tuned in the bars we played in Where they’re now I don’t know but I’d really like to hold one And the songs we were playing were like strings they kept changing And the chords and the thoughts we were saying kept rearranging
2.
WHEN THE CURTAIN FALLS When the Curtain falls on the stage And the sound of the trumpet fades I will play this last call into an empty hall So sweet when the curtain falls There is no more sound only quiet And these honest words to describe it Goodbye old friends as you go I'll wave again To you please come back this way Now thats all we have to give But I hope that you all will live Your lives in the sun and be good to everyone You meet when the curtain falls We'll meet When the curtain falls Until then When the curtain falls

Now I’ve had my rainy days just like any man would say It’s not that my life’s that bad more that you were all I had When the night time starts to fall and my regret starts to call And my hand it writes your name and why you left just like you came   Now as the band strikes up its song and the steel guitar plays on All the dancers have all gone its just another old theremin song Now when the fog comes rolling in and I feel that western wind There’s no music that’s more sad than of the dreams I used to have   Now in life we’re torn apart and I’m lonely for her heart Lovely as a rose in spring so once more I'll start to sing

WISHING I WAS BACK AT THUNDER BRIDGE KICKING A BALL AT THE LAWN HEDGE RIDING A BIKE DOWN THE ROAD EDGE WATCHING THE CRICKET IN THE VILLAGE SHED WISHING I WAS BACK AT THUNDER BRIDGE THROWING BREAD AT THE GEESE IN THE POND FRESH CLOTHES HANGING ON THE LINE WISH I WAS BACK IN AN EASY TIME SPINNING IN CIRCLES TILL YOU CATCH YOUR TAIL LYING IN THE GREEN GRASS IN THE FOG OF THE DALE CARRY MY BAG TO THE TOP OF THE HILL HIGH IN THE CLOUDS WHERE THE VILLAGE IS STILL CATCHING A BALL IN A SUMMER FIELD RIDING A SLEDGE DOWN A WINTER STREAM RUN WITH A DOG THROUGH A STARLIGHT SEAM WISHING I WAS BACK AT THUNDER BRIDGE

Well you can do anything you want to do Well you can say anything you want to say You can play any song you want to play But you can’t honk your honky tonk in here You can drink any drink you want to drink But you may find the more you think the more you stink You can talk in tune as much as sing But you can’t honk your honky tonk in here You can walk anywhere you want to walk You can talk to anyone to whom you want to talk You can go anywhere you want to be You can see anything you want to see But not with that thing You can be anyone you want to be But you can’t honk your honky tonk in here You can dream any dream you want to dream You can get anything you want to get You can bank any prizes you can win But if you plonk that honky tonk you won’t get in So don’t bring that thing So you can’t honk your honky tonk in here Don’t honk your honky tonk in here

I’m a different person now that’s why I know how It’s a different feeling now that I own this ground Once I walked through streets behind each door no one was in No money and no sleep my office on a station seat Passed and pushed around no place for me in my hometown Just sadness that I found until I stopped and turned around I’m a different person now that’s why I know how It’s a different feeling now that I own this ground There may be fields left to sow but I don’t really want to know I'm a different person now and its a a different way I’ve found Working on a line to make it out here was my aim For forty thousand days and then I’d reached my final claim So I cut my strings away, in change I worked two more decades Then boredom turned to pain until I saw another way And I’m a different person now that’s why I know how It’s a different feeling now that I own this ground There may be fields left to sow but I don’t really want to know I'm a different person now and its a a different way I’ve found

Each night, I go to bed and I say a prayer I close my eyes, and then I slide, so softly there As I fall into sleep, dream my dreams so I’ll meet You there, like dreamers dare, in my dreams Walk with you, and with you, it’s just the same All the time, still you’re mine, together again In my dreams I can see, that you’re here beside me And I say, will you stay in my dreams Dream all your dreams for me Sleep you can sleep Here’s where I want to be Just in my dreams It’s too bad, all I have, is these dreams of you And to think of them now, makes me sad it’s true And you say now, go to sleep So tonight once more we’ll meet And you’ll still be, here with me, In my dreams To be here, with you, in my dreams

BLAZE OF FIRE I’m getting out of here in a blaze of fire I’m tearing down the road to somewhere higher Don’t look out for the victims they’re all gone Brushed out of the pictures you once hung I’m getting out of here in a blaze of fire I’m tearing down the road to somewhere higher Don’t look out for the victims they’re all gone Brushed out of the pictures you once hung I met a crooked driver on my way down He told me what points north it now points south He gave to me a stone with many sounds And if you listen you might hear them now I’m getting out of here in a blaze of fire I’m tearing down the road to somewhere higher Don’t look out for the victims they’re all gone Brushed out of the pictures you once hung Trying to embrace my guilty heart Home is where I left to feed my art What was going on was plain to see Now I don’t know what will become of me I’m getting out of here in a blaze of fire I’m tearing down the road to somewhere higher Don’t look out for the victims they’re all gone Brushed out of the pictures you once hung

OOH BABY WONT YOU STAY WITH ME BABY, STAY WITH ME BABY, STAY WITH ME BABY OOH BABY WON’T YOU BE WITH ME BABY, BE WITH ME BABY, BE WITH ME BABY WHEREVER I GO IN THE WORLD I’LL ALWAYS BE THINKING OF YOU ARE YOU THINKING OF ME? WHATEVER I DO EVERYDAY I’LL ALWAYS BE DOING WITH YOU WHAT YOU DOING TODAY? WHOEVER I SEE WHEN I WAKE I’LL ALWAYS BE SEEING YOU THERE ARE YOU SEEING ME HERE AND WHEN I WALK INTO A ROOM I KNOW THAT YOU’RE WALKING WITH ME ARE YOU FEELING THAT TOO? AND WHEN I SEE YOU AGAIN WHAT WILL WE WANT TO SAY AND I’M SAYING IT HERE

You used to be so nice but it was me who paid the price You took my home and dressed it up with charm You changed my careless ways recycled all the waste But now you’re gone the things you said and done And when I think of all we done I thought you’re the only one I woke up fresh today and then you went way This race is run the things you said and done You used to be so kind not nothing you wouldn’t find My letters posted and a beer in the fridge You hoovered up the stairs put cushions on the chairs But now that’s done the things you said and done And when I think of how you would laugh And now the tap won’t run the bath I woke up in my bed my hand was on my neck This day is done The things you said and done You used to kiss my head now you may as well be dead You must be putting me on the things you said and done And it’s no fun - the things you said and done We’d just begun - the things you said and done Its tea for one - the things you said and done Now I got none - the things you said and done
