Leo Sayer - Paperback town

Tekst :

Imagine the space as it used to bethere were fields of cornthere were big oak treesbut a woman in a suit bulldozed it clearbuilt a concrete world full of crocodile tears
And we don t understandthat we all have a part in a government planit s a hard shotto be the people in the place that the world forgotin a paperback town
But i know i know i know we can be freethough no guardian angel up abovehas kept an eye on meand at night i listen to the sirens moanfor a broken heart from a broken homeso many people are so alonein a paperback town
And one day soon i m gonna write it all downi live my life in a paperback town
Oooh--in a paperback townoooh--in a paperback town
I m gonna take my troublesgonna pack my bagsgonna fly my kite for a different flagi ll sing my songfrom the top of the hillwhen the night is coldand the wind is chill
cos i don t understandwhy i should be part of another man s planit s a hard shotfor the people in the placethat the world forgotin a paperback town
Live and die herein a paperback townwonder why herein a paperback town
But i know i know i know we can be free |
Though no guardian angel up abovehas kept an eye on meand at night i listen to the rain fall downand i shake with the fear that we all will drownbut my words don t even make a soundin a paperback town
And one day soon i m gonna write it all downi live my life in a paperback town

    Ahti

    At the time of sundown
    Nature bathes in colours
    In silence it waits
    For the approaching force
    In the halls of Ainola
    The true king of dark waters
    Lurks with his mistress

    Under the waves of a blue lake
    Dwells the mighty Ahti!
    Sailors praise the glorious name
    The ruler of tides: Ahti!

    At the shores of a northern land
    Pray mortal...

    Volte-face

    I have spent all my previous life
    Waiting for something else to start
    Now i see that i have felt so numb
    To everything that passed me by

    Need to go land on my own two feet
    Need to change my life this way
    Need to free my mind of memories
    Watch them how they screw my...

    Never

    You walked into my life, when i was down and out
    Took away my pain and gave me your smile
    And at the time, still lovin someone else
    I know why cause baby the reason why I felt the way i felt
    And then one day...
