1. Now We Make The Past Undone
coming late but here we are
on our forehead the fallen star
so here I am, here I stand
await the moment time will bend
coming back out of the dark
on my forehead I wear the mark
feel the day when it's all gone
now we make the past undone
now we make the past undone
arriving late yet here we run
in our heart a secret sun
here I am, here I stand
and my world will never end
now we make the past undone
come come
now we make the past undone
go go
to the place where we all must go
away away
listen, "remember the day"
you say
all those years get washed away
now we make the past undone
2. To The Distant Grey
I remember the dreamwind
filling my sails then blowing me off course
I remember the blue sky
the follies of youth and a wish to die
I remember things held close
thrown away and forgotten
I foresee that it will come true
this my wind now blows for you
calling calling
across the blue
I remember the black heart
the knowledge of age and the falling apart
I remember the feelings I lack
and the friendships that were a stab in the back
calling calling
across the blue
I will burn this page today
I will throw my life away
I just do not want to stay
I give it all to the beautiful sea
calling calling
across the blue
calling calling
across the blue
to the distant grey
3. Snaketime (Reptilicus Cover)
See them coming step aside
A lot of men didn’t and a lot of men died
See them coming step aside
A lot of men didn’t and a lot of men died
Snaketime Snaketime
Joy delight Joy delight
Intoxication all across the nation
Intoxication all across the nation
If thine eye offend thee
If thine eye offend thee
If thine eye offend thee
Cut it……
See them coming step aside
A lot of men didn’t and a lot of men died
See them coming step aside
A lot of men didn’t and a lot of men died
Snaketime Snaketime
Snaketime Snaketime
Intoxication all across the nation
Intoxication all across the nation
If thine eye offend thee
If thine eye offend thee
If thine eye offend thee
Cut it out
4. Shores Of Yesterday
here I watch the midnights go and all this searching has to stop
and how long this road appears and how uncertain in the night
I've got so far to go and oh so little time
though I may regret tomorrow I'd say yesterday was mine
so let us sing of the tortured heart
so let us revisit places past
so let us dream of chances lost
so let us sail on ships of gold
here the years rush like blood and what we love we hurt the most
adrift on that special day I glanced through to another world
but considering this and reflecting that, promises broken and nothing else left
what is real is better than what was dreamt, but still I can dream
we will never know
so let us sing of the tortured heart
so let us revisit places past
so let us dream of chances lost
so let us sail on ships of gold
to the shores of yesterday
5. The Once And Future King
it beckons to us all
sometimes we cannot hide
it beckons us inside
open the door, a knock so pure
in comes the seraphim
teach me things, I already know
filled with adrenalin
cut him down, yet he grows back
and makes my blood sing
it beckons to us all
sometimes we cannot hide
the most unusual thing
the once and future king
wide open the door, a knock for sure?
in comes the seraphim
leave me things I don't need
like a life to begin
cuts me down, cut, cut
in comes the new king
it beckons to us all
sometimes we cannot hide
the most familiar thing
the once and future king
6. Tesco Girl (Rerecorded Version)
oh my Tesco girl
pretty foreign you are to me
would you like to know yet more
about our fate or the ONT
how is your life?
run away with me tonight
the crops may fail but you'd always be true
(I know) a beautiful Tesco girl
are you happy now?
with all the things that I never gave to you
is it all just a come and go?
and a lost Tesco girl
farewell (my) Tesco girl
for I will never see you again
another dream brings another face
and I will never know you
7. Plate IV
[written and performed by Product 8]
8. And Never Return
a different world waits for me
a hideaway from all that's wrong
across the waves to enchanted isles
far away and there we'll stay
we all live troubled lives
but I'd rather stay here in the dark
you like the west but I go north
there is more than one true love
I'm just passing by and people change
hearing you say "people change"
and then you blackened all the stars
and then you never looked back
and then you sent the gods away
and then they never came back
and then I saw you in my dreams
and then you never came back
I am still the same but people change
hang on, it's gone and people change
