Ophelia (lyrics P Chisnell music P Chisnell, C & P McMahon 1985)
At the waters edge I stand
A figure in blue etched in the sand
I look for your face
To subdue my craving mind
All I see is myself
My feelings for you you never knew
Try as I might I was bound to lose
I need you touch to satisfy the ache inside
All I feel is your loss
Oh Ophelia were you brave
Or did your love denied
Become more than life itself
Time & tide rise over my head
My silent searching now at an end
I see your face
Death worth the dying
You are forever mine

Survive (Chris & Paul McMahon)
Hello how are you it's nice ot see you, nice to talk again
It's been a while since we last met, it's good to see an old friend
I'm coming home just for a while, though I might not stay
The road it seems to follow me, I rest when it says I may
It's not easy holding on you wake to find your dream has gone
And left alone with nothing left to say
Waiting for the break of day so I can travel on, and on
Times have long since gone the feeling starts to fade
A dusty mirror cracked forgotten cold lost dark in the shade
As they creep through my window I stare into the rain
A darkened stream of wasted thoughts
Distant silver laughter mocks the pain
Cardboard people drift on by acting roles so false I have to laugh
So I came back again but it's not the same
Is there something you're trying to hide, or just that we've nothing left to say
Well I know it's not something that we could change
You know sometimes I'd like to try
Remember when I took your hand though you walked alone
Into the fading light to the sunset our refuge our home
The light it just slips away the night the coldest stone
Standing waiting for a sign though I know that it's gone
My thoughts disjointed fragmented to a string of cliched line
Like the words to this song I've tried to write so many times
And as the echoes fade crashing through a darkened sky
(And the nightmares came true)
The waves engulf my soul as it screams oh please why?
I see now that the ghost of my mind has betrayed only you
The bright light blinds my mind somehow I cannot see so clearly now
But through the dark I fear that I'll survive

For Whom (lyrics P McMahon music P McMahon 1983)
Maybe I've been wrong
But I wish I could see you now
And though it seems so long ago
I need you still
I've never been a slave to truth but
I meant every word I said
Every move I made
I made for you
If you need a friend
You'll always find me here
I'll stay by you until the end
I love you still
And we'll watch the years go by
I'll be right here by your side
We can turn the tide
We can turn the tide
I know that I've been wrong
But I wish I could touch you now
I know I let some chances slip
Give me just one more
I never gave a damn for truth but
They cannot hurt you now
Don't let them hurt you now
And we'll watch the years go by
I'll be right here by your side
I meant every word I said
Every move I made
I made for you

Fallen Leaves (by Paul Chisnell, Paul McMahon, Chris McMahon & Rob Heeley)
Leaves long since fallen have been blown into the roadside
Their veins bleached a blatant silver against the reds and golds of autumn
By winter's frosty hand
Fallen Leaves
The warm room beckons shuttered windows blazing fires
Forlorn we shelter against the late of glowring gales
Laughing in glee as it hesitates and destroys the delicate web
Woven by the summers evening in my head
Fallen Leaves
A glass of cider sitting on the warm earth
Dust of countless feet treading on towards the autumn
Where the leaves have long since fallen
Fallen Leaves

The Vice (lyrics P McMahon music C & P McMahon 1981)
When the vice of sleep lies broken
And the curtains of night hang torn
Unbidden thoughts are awoken
In the uncertain light of dawn you think you see
Well it can give you the strangest feeling
So gently it slips away
And the friends that you once thought so near
Seem to fade in the light of day
Well it's always been that way
And I think it's too late now
It may be too late
So much time has passed since then
I am no longer sure just how I feel
I don't know why they call time a healer
When it tears your flesh apart
Wipes out all your feelings
Squeezes tears of blood from your heart
Yes it's always been that way
And I think it's too late now
Yes I'm quite sure it's too late
Why does time take all our lives
And rip up apart it tears us apart
Hardens hearts & closes minds
As fetid hands choke life from life to dust
I was there even in your darkest hour
Fight despair only fear & hate devour
I was there even in your darkest hour
Fight despair only fear & hate devour

In The Universe (lyrics P McMahon Phil Walworth music P Chisnell, C & P McMahon 1986)
Dusk is falling in a windless sky
Breath of cold creeps silently by
Clouds sit still on the sleepless night
A spinning star that sheds no light
Stretching shadows to the evenings end
Linger on until the clouds descend
Silent thunder rocks the star filled sky
Mocking laughter in the seagull's cry
We held the power we danced in time
Searching for reason we lost the rhyme
The call relayed we can do no worse
Than see ourselves in the universe
Forget the shadow rise above the gloom
The wold is nothing but an empty room
Lock the door & close the windows tight
Nothing moves in the surrounding night
Fix your mind on the enclosing deep
Close your eyes in elernal sleep
Lock your heart & throw away the key
Drown your dreams in the uncaring sea

The Load (P McMahon)
silence, breathing, pulse beats slow
lifeblood courses, veins dilate
eyes stare blindly, pupils glow
cataclysm imminent
you can only wait
reason nods politely slips out by the back door
logic reels & shakes it's head & looks away
intuition sighs, it's seen this facile play before
manic laughter every mad dog has it's day
limbs work disjointedly, mouth slack in vacant dismay
a scarcely articulate puppet, the madman at play
wake look around you the walls that surround you
are padded and grey, there's no glass, there's no cutlery
external sensory input is zero
the psyche implodes, psychic shrapnel tears holes in your mind
take the strain, the power can hold back the pain
ebb and flow, alone you must carry the load
chasing rainbows
on where god knows

Stoat & Bottle (lyrics P McMahon music P McMahon 1986)
Grab your coat & leave your cares behind
Put your problems right out of your mind
Let's get out & drink what we are able
Then demurely sink under the table
Take a look in the good beer guide
Page two hundred and three
Come along to the Stoat & Bottle with me
Please dont spit on the sawdust floor
Hang your coat on a nail
Don't forget what you came here for is ale
At the Stoat & Bottle there's a friendly athmosphere
The only thing that's lethal is the beer
The world outside the window is the last thing on your mind
The only thing to fear is closing time

Tunnel Vision (lyrics P McMahon music C & P McMahon 1986)
Don't expect me to deny the space between us
Yet I see no reason why there should be walls
There's no need to lock ourselves away
There's no need for us to fear
The danger that lies in strangers disguise
Let's open our eyes break out from this
chorus (haze version)
Tunnel Vision, Tunnel Vision
Seeing only the walls of our prison
chorus (world turtle version)
Black box Tunnel vision you're living in a fools prison
Black box Tunnel vision you know that's a dangerous religion
I don't ask you to believe what I believe in
But at least we could agree to disagree
There's no hate in contradiction
Ask yourself why you should fear
The danger that lies in strangers disguise
Let's open our eyes break out from this
Tunnel Vision, Tunnel Vision
Seeing only the walls of our prison
Make a start try and open up your heart
We are as the others each one just another viewpoint
open wide your blinkered eyes let the walls come tumbling down
We are not the only ones lets not be the lonely ones
There's no need to live with
Tunnel Vision, Tunnel Vision
Seeing only the walls of our prison

In The End (lyrics P McMahon music P McMahon 1986)
Warm glow, creeping through my window, dancing in the air
Your smile, shining in my minds eye, wishing you were here
Where we come from is where we'll go to
Where we come from they'll never know how far from home they are
All we have seen will fade, into the dark
Leaving only ourselves hand in hand
In the end
Twilight, hanging on the edge of night, burning like a flame
Your eyes, flicker in the firelight, whispering my name
We are walking into the darkness
Holding high the undying spark we'll never be alone
All we have seen will fade, into the dark
Leaving only ourselves hand in hand
In the end
Alone we are ended, our souls undefended
we cling to each other for our lives
Fro now we can see, what we are is all be need
And our hears beat together for our lives
Holding the torch high we live though the flame dies
And these are the best days of our lives
In love undefeated our hopes undepleted
now these are the last days of our lives

The Red Room (Paul McMahon) 1987
By the light of reason, all the world seems clear, what do we have left to fear
And in the eyes of science, each obeys the rules, those who doubt are worse than fools
Nightmare vision the language of dreams, heeds no law
Oh in the dead of the night you never know what will grow
Dead eyed spectres remorseless and cold, walk the room
Here in silence they watch through the dark windows of the soul
We live by our assumptions, some of them are true, but most of them we never prove
The guiding force of interlect, gave us all it knew, but it only asks the questions it gives answers to
Older instincts have gone underground, undisturbed
How can you deny what you don't even know is here
In the Red Room we see what we are, and what we were
Here in subconscious refuge we dance to the pulse of fear, the pulse of fear
We are the nightmares you can't escape,
we are your childhood fears you've locked away
We are the dark thoughts left unspoken
We are behind that door you fear to open
To the Red Room
To the Red Room
Here in the Red Room, we feed on hate
Here in the Red Room, we wait, we wait
We wait

Mountain (lyrics P McMahon music P Chisnell, C & P McMahon 1984)
High touching everything
Light guild the eagles wing
Touching the moments reflecting the light
Reaching the fountain reeling in the height
Hide in the shadew of a mountain
Core eroding marrow to bone
The seeds of silence are sown
Living behind breezes cooling in fie
Rising to capture the flames of desire
Light in the shape of a mountain
Flash revealing tendon & bone
Betraying framework of stone
Leaving behind in the stone of the pyre
Picture portrayed in the heart of the fire
Fly down the face of of a mountain
Light replacing muscle & bone
Behold the blood of the stone
High seeing everything
Might sear the granite ring
The mountain rises in fire

Sighing in a voice like winter
Last Orders please
Last Orders please

The third Sanctuary album is also the best of the trilogy. This one dares even more to expand the Oldfieldian style in new and exciting directions. It may be sacrilege to suggest it, but if this *were* a genuine Oldfield album, many might say it was one of his best, too. It's true that Rob Reed is standing on the shoulders of a giant, but he is a giant talent in his own right. Often the music brings tears to the eyes, as if it were the soundtrack to the climax of a hard-won cinematic story.

Pete Jones Plays Genesis - Seven Stones Turned (Charity Release)
by Tiger Moth Tales
supported by 9 fans who also own “In The End:1978-1988”
An amazing reinterpretations of old Genesis classics. Even "Invisible touch", in my opinion one of the worst songs by Genesis, in this album is a little gem. You can almost imagine Steve Hackett on classical guitar.

This is an absolutely fantastic collection featuring near perfect newer run-downs of the Atlantis suite and Wedge tracks (with Rat Racing being my definitive entrance to this period, wonderful) as well as great and heavy concert sessions of The Cross and the Crucible and Sanctuary (personal favourite). My favourite bundle so far.
