I like beer, and I like cheese

I like the smell of a westerly breeze

But what I like more than all of these

Is to be on horseback

 

Hey and away we go

Through the grass, across the snow

Big brown beastie, big brown face

I'd rather be with you than flying through space.

 

I like thunder, and I like rain

And open fires, and roaring flames.

But if the thunder's in my brain,

I'd like to be on horseback

 

Some like the city, some the noise

Some make chaos, and others, toys.

But if I was to have the choice,

I'd rather be on horseback.

 

Hey and away we go

Through the grass, across the snow

Big brown beastie, big brown face

I'd rather be with you than flying through space.

 

Some find it strange to be here,

On this small planet, and who knows where.

But when it's strange and full of fear,

It's nice to be on horseback.

 

Some are short, and others tall,

Some hit their heads against the wall.

But it doesn't really matter at all,

When you happen to be on horseback.

 

Hey and away we go

Through the grass, across the snow

Big brown beastie, big brown face

I'd rather be with you than flying through space.

 

So if you you feel a little glum,

To Hergest Ridge you should come.

In summer, winter, rain or sun,

It's good to be on horseback.

 

Hey and away we go

Through the grass, across the snow

Big brown beastie, big brown face

I'd rather be with you than flying through space.

 

Hey and away we go

Through the grass, across the snow

Big brown beastie, big brown face

I'd rather be with you than flying through space.

You know, I'd rather be on horseback

... "The massive grey walls of the Temples rise from the heart of every Federation city. I have always been awed by them, to think that every single facet of every life is regulated and directed from within! Our books, our music, our work and play are all looked after by the benevolent wisdom of the priests..."

.. "Behind my beloved waterfall, in the little room that was hidden beneath the cave, I found it. I brushed away the dust of the years, and picked it up, holding it reverently in my hands. I had no idea what it might be, but it was beautiful" ...

... "I learned to lay my fingers across the wires, and to turn the keys to make them sound differently. As I struck the wires with my other hand, I produced my first harmonious sounds, and soon my own music! How different it could be from the music of the Temples! I can't wait to tell the priests about it! ..."

... "In the sudden silence as I finished playing, I looked up to a circle of grim, expressionless faces. Father Brown rose to his feet, and his somnolent voice echoed throughout the silent Temple Hall." ...

... "Instead of the grateful joy that I expected, they were words of quiet rejection! Instead of praise, sullen dismissal. I watched in shock and horror as Father Brown ground my precious instrument to splinters beneath his feet..." ph34r.gif

... "I guess it was a dream, but even now it all seems so vivid to me. Clearly yet I see the beckoning hand of the oracle as he stood at the summit of the staircase" ...

... "I see still the incredible beauty of the sculptured cities and the pure spirit of man revealed in the lives and works of this world. I was overwhelmed by both wonder and understanding as I saw a completely different way to life, a way that had been crushed by the Federation long ago. I saw now how meaningless life had become with the loss of all these things ..."

... "I have not left this cave for days now, it has become my last refuge in my total despair. I have only the music of the waterfall to comfort me now. I can no longer live under the control of the Federation, but there is no other place to go. My last hope is that with my death I may pass into the world of my dream, and know peace at last."

My uncle has a country place

That no one knows about.

He says it used to be a farm,

Before the Motor Law.

And on Sundays I elude the Eyes,

And hop the Turbine Freight

To far outside the Wire,

Where my white-haired uncle waits.

 

Jump to the ground

As the Turbo slows to cross the Borderline.

Run like the wind,

As excitement shivers up and down my spine.

Down in his barn,

My uncle preserved for me an old machine,

For fifty-odd years.

To keep it as new has been his dearest dream.

 

I strip away the old debris

That hides a shining car.

A brilliant red Barchetta

From a better, vanished time.

I fire up the willing engine,

Responding with a roar.

Tires spitting gravel,

I commit my weekly crime...

 

Wind-

In my hair-

Shifting and drifting-

Mechanical music-

Adrenalin surge...

 

Well-weathered leather,

Hot metal and oil,

The scented country air.

Sunlight on chrome,

The blur of the landscape,

Every nerve aware.

 

Suddenly ahead of me,

Across the mountainside,

A gleaming alloy air-car

Shoots towards me, two lanes wide.

I spin around with shrieking tires,

To run the deadly race,

Go screaming through the valley

As another joins the chase.

 

Drive like the wind,

Straining the limits of machine and man.

Laughing out loud

With fear and hope, I've got a desperate plan.

At the one-lane bridge

I leave the giants stranded at the riverside.

Race back to the farm, to dream with my uncle at the fireside.

When they turn the pages of history

When these days have passed long ago

Will they read of us with sadness

For the seeds that we let grow

We turned our gaze

From the castles in the distance

Eyes cast down

On the path of least resistance

 

Cities full of hatred

Fear and lies

Withered hearts

And cruel, tormented eyes

Scheming demons

Dressed in kingly guise

Beating down the multitude

And scoffing at the wise

 

The hypocrites are slandering

The sacred halls of Truth

Ancient nobles showering

Their bitterness on youth

Can't we find

The minds that made us strong

Can't we learn

To feel what's right and wrong

 

Cities full of hatred

Fear and lies

Withered hearts

And cruel, tormented eyes

Scheming demons

Dressed in kingly guise

Beating down the multitude

And scoffing at the wise

Can't we raise our eyes

And make a start

Can't we find the minds

To lead us closer to the Heart

The way out

Is the way in

The way out

Is the way in...

 

Out of touch

With the weather and the wind direction

With the sunrise

And the phases of the moon

Out of touch

With life in the land of the loving

With the living night

And the darkness at high noon

 

You can never break the chain

There is never love without pain

A gentle hand, a secret touch on the heart

 

Out of sync

With the rhythm of my own reactions

With the things that last

And the things that come apart

Out of sync

With love in the land of the living

A gentle hand, a secret touch on the heart

 

A healing hand, a secret touch on the heart

 

There is never love without pain

Life is a power that remains

I can learn to resist

Anything but temptation

I can learn to co-exist

With anything but pain

 

I can learn to compromise

Anything but my desires

I can learn to get along

With all the things I can't explain

 

I can learn to resist

Anything but frustration

I can learn to persist

With anything but aiming low

 

I can learn to close my eyes

To anything but injustice

I can learn to get along

With all the things I don't know

 

You can surrender

Without a prayer

But never really pray

Pray without surrender

 

You can fight

Fight without ever winning

But never ever win

Win without a fight

 

I can learn to resist

Anything but temptation

I can learn to co-exist

With anything but pain

 

I can learn to compromise

Anything but my desires

I can learn to get along

With all the things I can't explain

My eyes have just been opened

And they're open very wide

Images around me

Don't identify inside

Just one blur I recognize

The one that soothes and feeds

My way of life is easy

And as simple are my needs

 

Yet my eyes are drawn toward

The mountain in the east

Fascinates and captivates

Gives my heart no peace

The mountain holds the sunrise

In the prison of the night

'Til bursting forth from rocky chains

The valley floods with light

 

Living one long sunrise

For to me all things are new

I've never watched the sky grow pale

Or strolled through fields of dew

I do not know of dust to dust

I live from breath to breath

I live to climb that mountain

To the Fountain of Lamneth

 

Yet my eyes are drawn toward

The mountain in the east

Fascinates and captivates

Gives my heart no peace

The mountain holds the sunrise

In the prison of the night

'Til bursting forth from rocky chains

The valley floods with light

Stay! Go!

Work! No!

Learn! Live!

Earn! Give!

Stay or fight? What's right?

Listen!

 

III. No One At the Bridge

 

Crying back to consciousness

The coldness grips my skin

The sky is pitching violently

Drawn by shrieking winds

Seaspray blurs my vision

Waves roll by so fast

Save my ship of freedom

I'm lashed helpless to the mast

 

Remembering when first I held

The wheel in my own hands

I took the helm so eagerly

And sailed for distant lands

But now the sea's too heavy

And I just...I just don't understand

Why must my crew desert me?

When I need...I need a guiding hand...

 

Call out for direction

And there's no one there to steer

Shout out for salvation

But there's no one there to hear

Cry out supplication

For the maelstrom is near

Scream out desperation

But no one cares to hear

The whiteness of confusion

Is unfolding from my mind

I stare around in wonder

Have I left my life behind?

 

I catch the scent of ambergris

And turn my head, surprised

My gaze is caught and held and I

Am helpless...mesmerized

 

Panacea, liquid grace

Oh let me touch your fragile face

Enchantment falls around me

And I know I cannot leave

 

Here's a meaning for my life

A shelter from the storm

Pacify my troubles with

Her body, soft and warm

 

Naked in our unity

A smile for every tear

Gentle hands that promise me

Comfort through the years

 

Yet I know I must be gone

Before the light of dawn

 

Panacea, passion pure

I can't resist your gentle lure

My heart will lie beside you

And my wandering body grieves

Another endless day

Silhouettes of grey

Another glass of wine

Drink with eyes that shine

To days without that chill at morning

Long Nights, time out of mind

 

Chorus

Draw another goblet

From the cask of '43

Crimson misty memory

Hazy glimpse of me

Give me back my wonder

I've something more to give

I guess it doesn't matter

There's not much more to live

 

Another foggy dawn

The mountain almost gone

Another doubtful fear

The road is not so clear

My soul grows ever weary

And the end is ever near

Look! The mist is rising

And the sun is peaking through

See the steps grow lighter

As I reach their final few

Hear the dancing waters

I must be drawing near

Feel, my heart is pounding

With embattled hope and fear

 

Now, at last I fall before

The Fountain of Lamneth

I thought I would be singing

But I'm tired...out of breath

Many journeys end here

But, the secret's told the same:

Life is just a candle, and a dream

Must give it flame

 

The key, the end, the answer

Stripped of their disguise

Still it's all confusion

And tears spring to my eyes

Though I've reached a signpost

It's really not the end

Like Old Sol behind the mountain

I'll be coming up again.

Hey now, baby,

Well, I like your smile.

Won't you come and talk to me for a little while?

 

Well, you're makin' me crazy,

The way you roll them eyes.

Won't you come and sit with me? I'll tell you all my lies.

 

Hey baby, it's a quarter to eight,

I feel I'm in the mood.

Hey baby, the hour is late,

I feel I've got to move.

 

Well, hey now, baby,

Don't you talk so fast.

I'm just tryin' to make these good times, I'm tryin' to make it last.

 

Everything's getting hazy.

Now honey, where'd you go?

I just want to find out, baby...where'd you learn what you know?

 

Well, hey now, baby,

I said I like your style.

You really got me, baby, way down deep inside.

 

Ooh, you drive me crazy.

Baby, you're the one.

I just want to rock-and-roll you woman, until the night is gone.
