lyrics

Portrait (Paul McMahon)

With the passing of an age a swift repainting of the world
Now to new gods people pray new banners are unfurled

To keep the peace with God and man we have to compromise
Between our conscience and our will
Self righteousness or lies - surprise

Stories change the picture fade leaving legends strewn behind
Orphaned children of the past living thoughts of long dead minds

One day today will be fading dust upon the shelf
All of us that can survive is in our lives our loves our selves - not wealth

So what can you be if not yourself and you will see
It's not what you have but what you are it's clear to me
The substance will fade only emotion will survive
So have faith in life and you will find the time

It's something in the eyes that lies deep behind the smile
That says you could find the other side of your life
So don't hide behind the fading memory of your life
Come into the light and you will find the time

Time bestrides the narrow world like a colossus and we
Run about between it's legs to find ourselves unfulfilled graves - not saved

all these Songs Are dear to me.... every one of these twelfth night cdrs become special, early 1980-87 ish like Even art and illusion (the song) is like rushing onstage in the more commercial style... the very rebellious rhythm stuff 1979-82 is best.... kbds and disco epics with guitar echo effect is psychedelic as... hellions from... great keyboard technology.
