Track 1

Along Came Mary Was alone then along came Mary Hair of gold and lips like cherries Was amazed when she stole my thunder Filled my world with the ways of wonder Come away come away with me Far away where the eyes can't see Come away to another time Pardon if you lose your mind Who are you now? Who makes the rules? Follow your heart and get back.... Won't you get back.... Oh get back Was alone then along came Mary Hair of gold and lips like cherries Was amazed when she stole my thunder Filled my world with the ways of wonder Come away come away with me Far away where the eyes can't see Come away to another time Pardon if you lose your mind Pardon if you lose your mind Pardon if you lose your mind-if you lose your mind   Song written by Roger HODGSON 30 SECONDS SAMPLE

Track 2

The more I look... The more I look, the more I see The more that life asks of me The more it hurts, the more I feel The more it takes time to heal For easy times they come and they go Come and they go so quickly And peace of mind is so hard to know It's something to keep me striving The more I learn the less I know So little time, so far to go When your heart's getting burned As you weep, so you learn For easy times they come and they go Come and they go so swiftly And peace of mind is so hard to know It's something to keep me striving The more it hurts, the more you feel The more it takes the time to heal The more you look, the more you see The more these things were meant to be For easy times they come and they go Come and they go so quickly And peace of mind is so hard to know It's something that keeps me smiling The more I look, the more I see The more that life gives to me.   Song written by Roger HODGSON

Track 3

Showdown Well there's crying in the kitchen And there's fighting on the street And there's cocaine in the schoolyard Yet my heart don't miss a beat I can't let go, oh I can't let go And the preacher's on the telly And he's handing me the phone Got an ulcer in his belly And a torment in his soul He can't let go, no he can't let go Everybody wants a contribution Telling me they've got the best solution No-one want the carrousel to slwdown Seems to me we're heading for a showdown And there's poison in the water And there's holes up in the sky And the children keep on asking Is the planet going to die? We must let go - we must let go Got to get fired - it's going to get hot We've got to take it higher Give it everything we got Oh you never know Way to go Everybody's talking revolution Politicians offer no solution No-one seems to want to face the lowdown Seems to me we're heading for a showdown Song written by Roger HODGSON

Track 4

Hungry This morning when I woke up I fixed myself a drink I was feeling kind of broke up My mind was on the blink I couldn’t see a future Can’t seem to hold a job I feel I’m just a loser Oh when’s it gonna stop I said Baby, say you’ll always get to hold me Say we’ll never go hungry Never run out of money You say we’ll  just have to hold on Maybe life is just a put on Won’t you come and just hold me Say I’ll never get lonely Some mornings when I wake up I just don’t know who I am If I look behind the make-up I see a troubled man I wander in the darkness Just talking to the walls Seems life has turned against me Who’ll catch me if I fall I said Baby, say you’ll always want to hold me Say we’ll never go hungry Never run out of money Give me something to hold on Tell me life is just a put on Won’t you come and just hold me Say I’ll never get lonely   Song written by Roger HODGSON

Track 5

The Garden Walk around the garden Choking at the weeds Won’t you come and help me Try and sow some seeds All the trees are weeping, Branches hanging low Seems as if they know that They haven’t long to go All the world’s a funfair Hide behind your mask Say that you’re enjoying it If anybody ask Don’t believe in sinners, Don’t believe in sin Love is all the answers So why don’t we begin Taking up the story that Jesus told It’s older than the years All the seeds he planted have blossomed Into concrete walls of fear Lying in the gutter, Gazing at the stars Like to send a letter To the men on Mars Asking if they’d help us, Help us if they cold Come and weed this garden Or do you think they should?   Song written by Roger HODGSON

Track 6

Death and a zoo Hey what would you do Caught between Death-Death and a zoo? What if your world was stuck in cage- Would you feel rage boy? Caught in a crossfire Stung by the cold wire Would it feel lonely? Hey what would youy give So that your heart in freedom could live? What if your love was stuck in a cage Hey don’t you feel rage boy? Caught in a landslide Where does the child hide? Oh does he feel lonely? So cold on the inside Where does the Sun hide? Oh don’t it feel lonely? Caught in a man’s dream Silent the heart scream Don’t it feel lonely? Song written by Roger HODGSON

Track 7

LOVE IS A THOUSAND TIMES Love, love is a thousand times Stronger than me, stronger than you Well if you want to be a soldier -go marching off to war You think you’re going to be a hero But we’ve heard it all before, boy Love, love is a thousand times Dearer than me, dearer than you Well if you want to be a leader, Then go and lead the way You’re never going to give us freedom -no matter what you say, boy -I said it’d better come soon... ‘Cause love-love is the way If only we all could hear, It just seems so clear I just can’t believe -watching the world what am I seeing? But I know there’s a way -oh there must be a way Oh there must come day -come a time when I  can be free... ‘Cause I want to hear her voice Softer than me, softer than you Whatever will it take me To bring her smile my way ‘Cause everytime I try to please her, She loves to go in hiding -I said she’d better come soon...

TRACK 8

Say Goodbye Say goodbye to the old way Say hello to a new day Well if you want to linger, a trail a finger It’ll only leave you wondering Want the future might have been Say goodbye to the old scene Say hello to a new dream You say you want your freedom, but is it freedom When you leave it all behind you But your mind just can’t let go?-oh no When the news is know and you hear those cries Then waves of sadness will fill your eyes You’re alone as an island Alone as a man can be Say goodbye to the old days Say hello to a new ways Well if you want to linger, trail a finger Just remember what was told you About the way it’s going to be-you’ll see.. You’re alone as an island Alone as a man must be Say goodbye to the old way Say hello to a new day Well if you want your freedom Oh where’s your freedom? On the road that lies before you That is all you need to know, let go... Song written by Roger HODGSON

Right, right on, easy come, easy come -easy go-easy come And I know, yes I know that I’m wanting theworld to be one But we take as we please and we can’t see the wood for the trees But I know, yes I know when I open the door I’ll Be home I want to go home, I want to go home... Right, right on, easy come, Easy come-easy go-easy come And I know, yes I know That I’m wanting the world to be one But we take as we please And we can’t see The wood for the trees But I know, yes I know When I open the door I’ll be free I want to go free, I want to go home...   Open the door-I want to be whith you Open the door-I want to play whith you Open the door-I want to dream whith you Open the door-I want to stay whith you now...

TRACK 10

For every man For every man who has a dream There’s a light that’s rarely seen Within a world where all is greed, all is lies   For every child who lies awake And hopes that dawn will never break Tobe alone, to be afraid but never cry   Where is the love, where is the fire We used to share, we used to live Where is the hope, where is the flame We used to feel, we used to give Where is the man who says He never wants to dream, wants to live   For every man who feels alone Working fingers to the bone I have a voice, I still yearn and I still cry   It’s not  the singer, it’s the song Strikes the chord in everyone And makes us dance, makesus sing, Makes us fly   Where is the love, where is the fire We used to share, we used to live Where is the hope, where is the flame We used to feel, we used to give Where is the man who says He never wants to dream, wants to live
