[Geoffrey Downes/Johnny Warman/Jane Woolfenden]

This problem is insoluble
The answers seem impossible
The logic ceases to exit
Emotion is the beat we miss

I stand on a world
Where dreams, realities, existence are the same
We take from our mother's skin
But the world is not to blame

CHORUS
Who tells the wind which way to blow ?
I wonder who will stop the rain
The rocks that hold the secrets, they don't know
So who can stop the rain ?
We've lost the path for all we know
Now tell me when will it start again ?
And as the old man lifts his hands
Please can you stop the rain

Stars fall far away
Like they never did before
A new moon shining
Like it never will again

CHORUS

Desert white cloud
Spirits they sing
Rain falls from the big sky
Onto broken wing

There is no sense in turning back
To wash the debris from the track
World without reason without rhyme
We fought for peace within our time

CHORUS

Wheels turn - smoke rise
Chrome wings - low ride
Freeway - red line
To city lights electric I glide
If there's escape from your illusion
You gotta break the whole constitution

Concrete - touch sky
Main street - dogs lie
Steel bird - black tie
Is this what they call the freedom you buy?
Look at him behind the delusion
All you hear is the voice of confusion

[chorus]
The bad boy's back
The bad boy's back in town
The bad boy's back
Don't you shoot him down

Wheels spin - ace high
No win - no life
One world - truth lies
Love's just a word on a red neon sign
If there's escape from the conclusion
You gotta shake the whole institution

[chorus]

If there's escape from your illusion
You gotta break the whole constitution

[chorus]

Don't want to live in another world
Don't want to dream of another girl
That's the way it was meant to be

I couldn't sleep through the lonely night
I just cried till the morning
It's not the way it was meant to be

<chorus>
Someday you may find somebody else
Someday love my shine on you
Someday you may find the one

You didn't leave me, you ran away
Couldn't face what you had to say
It's not the way it was meant to be

Now you can live in your other world
Me, i've found me another girl
And that's the way it was meant to be

<chorus>

When I dream, I dream of one world
But I know there's no such place
If I could ever find that one girl
In my world, in my world

<chorus>

Don't read "Marx"
He's a clean cut guy
Just the dream
On a TV eye
If you swim
In the dark
You lose a hand
When you feed the shark

<chorus>

Little rich boy, she's gonna find you
Little rich boy
Little rich boy, those claws will blind you
Just a little rich boy

She got hooks
In your veins
Feel the pleasure
Kill the pain
Drop a pearl
See the dragon fly
Crack the diamond
Do you still feel high?

<chorus>

(Downes/Payne/Hart)

We used to live in a better world
Where sky and water were free
We point the finger
We point the gun
Is that the way it should be?

We rape the land
And we tear the skin
Burn the blood In the stone
To fuel the fire of a selfish mind
Do you want to live here alone?

Lay down your arms - surrender
You know you'll never get out of here
Lay down your arms - remember
No force - you'd better lay down your gun

Such are the sins of humanity
Dark is the air that we breathe
A war to hide in society
Don't close your eyes to deceive

Lyrics
Too many promises
Too may tears
Where does the future lie
If we burn away the years

We can make this a better world
Where sky and water are free
So give the hand without the gun
That's the way it will be

Dreams that have melted now frozen like statues
Under the surface here lies the unknown
Love has a way of disguising it's purpose
Seeing your pain my hand goes out to you

You should have known better than to trust him
How the pain shines through your eyes

Nothing hits harder than a crime of the heart
It breaks you up and it tears you apart
You just want to die you've been so abused
Now you know how it feels to be used
Nothing hurts harder than a crime of the heart
I'm such a fool I should have known from the start
I saw it coming and I feel I'm to blame
But love don't give in

I watch your face as you stare into distance
Eye filled with tears that look so far away
Deep in your heart can you feel a resistance?
Love, it just happens there's no one to blame

You should have known better than to sacrifice
The stained glass soul you hide

Nothing hits harder than a crime of the heart
It's the kind of feeling that tears you apart
There's nowhere to run, there's nothing to say
You never knew that it could feel this way
Nothing hurts harder than a crime of the heart
I could have told you he was wrong from the start
I'm not guilty but I feel I'm to blame
My love wont give in

Oo Oo Oo Oo
Oo Oo Oo Oo
Oo Oo Oo Oo
Crime of the heart..

Oo Oo Oo Oo
Oo Oo Oo Oo
Oo Oo Oo Oo
Crime of the heart..

Crime of the heart..

You know I'll never understand your reasons
I gave you all the love that I could give
Now i'm sitting on a plane to take me far away
I've got to find a new place to live

It used to feel so good when you stood beside me
How can you forget the words you said?
Things like: I'm gonna stay with you forever
Will always echo in my head

Don't call me, don't call me, no more

If this plane ride lasts forever
I couldn't quite get over you
We spent too much time together
I can't believe we're through

You know I'll never understand your reasons
I gave you all the love that I could give
Now i'm sitting on a plane to take me far away
I've got to find a new place to live

Don't call me, don't call me, no more

I am caught in the heat
Hold your head as you sleep
How can I close my eyes watching you
Such a fever inside from emotions within
Burning the night with the truth

Sweetest poison - positive attraction
Raging in my mind

CHORUS
Oh if you walk away
You´ll take the life from me
Oh if you walk away
You´ll take the air I breathe
Life would be lonely
More than you´ll never know
´Cos you´ve put all heaven on earth

I hear the sound of your voice
On the breath of the wind
I feel the touch of an angel
Next to my skin
It cuts so deep inside
It draws out the life
Harder with every time

Sweetest poison - positive attraction
Raging in my mind
