Lyrics from Catching Rays On Giant
 

Looking for lyrics of songs from Catching Rays On Giant. Who can they provide? [smile]

Most of AV's songs, if not all, have their lyrics listed in their Moonbase, www.alphaville.de.

The songs from the new album aren't there yet Mark.

It's going to be a fine listening comprehension exercise. [smile]

I can't wait to read the lyrics, so then I can sing along!

Waiting for the CD... I did my best.

PHANTOMS

There's so many dreams undone
Lost forever more
Here we are just counting sheep
Eyes transfixed on monitors
We are sleeping strangely rapted
In shifting sands of irreality
I'ts [] to see

But what's behind that blinding light
All the
Pushing down in front us
A million everyday
And what are we supposed to do
Tell me everything
We'll be all right
All these sleeping sounds tonite

All the people walking by
Seem to need an answer
There's something missing
Don't know why
How the hell did we get here
But when I look around I understand
And everything comes clear to me
It's [] to see
Rising and falling with the tide

What you hear on the CD:


There's so many dreams undone
Lost forever more
Here we are just counting sheep
Eyes transfixed on monitors
We are sleepers strangely rapt
In shifting sands of irreality
And it's plain to see
But what's behind that blinding light

All the truths and all the lies pushing down upon us
A million choices everyday
What are we supposed to do
Tell me everything will be all right
And I'll be sleeping sound tonight

All the people walking by seem to need an answer
Something's missing, don't know why
How the hell did we get here?
But when I look around, I understand
And everything comes clear to me
It's plain to see
Rising and falling with the tide

...is not the same as it is in the booklet ;-)

Thank you Kaz ;)
Same exercice for the next one, I transcripted what I could :

HEAVEN ON EARTH
You know that love's the answer
The greatest drooling force
That carries you forever
Beyong the father God
Will we ever learn
Lessons of the world
Instead repeating History without a care
How much we heard
Sometimes it seems that we would never ever understand
The things we got to do
Dance like no-one is watching
Love like you'll never be hurt
The things we got to do
And sing like no one is listening
And live like it's your last day on Earth
The things we got to do
And nothing lasts forever
It does not seem it's cheap
It's only the beginning
Of something rather deep
We're trying to survive
We're always on the run
The sky is never blue
But the sun is long, long gone
A stranger at the corner
Pretending to be me
Could it really be

You know that love's the answer; the greatest ruling force
That carries you forever beyond the farthest cause
Oh, will we ever learn the lessons of the world
Instead repeating history without a care how much we hurt
Sometimes it seems that we will never ever understand
The things we got to do

Dance like no-one is watching
Love like you'll never be hurt
The things we got to do
Sing like no-one is listening
And live like it's your last day on Earth
The things we got to do

If nothing lasts forever that doesn't mean it's cheap
It's only the beginning of something rather deep
We're trying to survive; we're always on the run
The sky's in ever blue but the sun is long, long gone
A stranger at the corner pretending to be me
Could it really be?

The chorus I know very well... [smile2]

The reason the song is called Heaven On Earth is because the original quote that the chorus comes from says, "Live like it's heaven on Earth" and not what it says in the song...

Thanks for proofreading Kaz !
I did not check the sense of one word, so you certainly laughted at "drooling force", it's completely nonsense [smile]...
