Tekst :
Stairs to nowhere climbI take them all the time
crawling on my knees
walking that old fine line
and when I m
alone and scared
I think of little rhymes
they would make no sense to you
but I make them all the time
and times, all mine
and times, all mine
it s the little pills you find
crushed to dust
rolling out of sight
they end up in the stranges places
but I take them all the time
and times, all mine
and times, all mine
when everyone is false
i tell them I m just fine
i can t remember their names
but I fake them, all the time
and times, all mine
and times, all mine
and times, all mine
and the times, all mine
and when I m alone and scared
I think of little rhymes
they would make no sense to you
but I make them all the time
Tekst :
(Act One)Well do you get the itching to
Trek about the latitudes, you do?
Well likely you re a chip
Off old Sir Rugglesby
Well he was quite a sporting sort
Behind his cup o tea he d snort
I ll wager on the line
Ten thousand pounds and five
I m the only man who ll ever get to
Hell and come back alive
(Act Two)
Now in the fall of forty-nine
He skipped across the seven brine this time
Looking for a berth in naval history
T was never heard nor seen agian
Oficially presumed as dead
But the words he left behind
Still echoed through my mind
I m the only man who ll ever get to
Hell and come back alive
He s the only man who d ever get to
Hell and come back alive
(Intermission)
(Act Three)
...then one night
While tripping down the English coast
The moon was whiter than a ghost, almost
When I heard a voice yell through a megaphone
And there upon the midnight sea
A signal lamp signalled me
I could feel me blood run cold
As the message did decode
I m the only man who s ever been to
Hell and come back alive
Well who else could it be
But good old Rugglesby?
He s the only man could ever get to
Hell and come back alive
Yes he s the only man who s
(He s the only one)
Ever gone and been to
(Who s been and gone)
To hell and come back
Hell and come back
Hell and come back alive
Tekst :
You know I needall the love you give
a loser like me
I just don t know why you would
give it for free
when I don t deserve it
you know now
I wonder why
you wouldn t want to charge
a higher price
you take a loss and still give
another try
knowing that some day
we ll find each other saying
Chorus
your love is fire
and I am the wood
that burns inside
the warmth of your blood
without you I d fade away
a loser just like me
you know I try
to give you all the love I hold inside
I have a hard time when I can t say it right
but I ll see the day when I will find the words and say them
Chorus
your love is fire
and I am the wood
that burns inside
the warmth of your blood
without you and the flame you keep inside
I d fade into the night
I ll always say them
your love is fire
and I am the wood
that burns inside
the warmth of your blood
without you and the flame you keep inside
I d fade into the night
a loser just like me
you know I need
all the love you give
a loser like me
I just don t know why you would
give it for free
