1. To France

![]() |
Taking on water
Sailing a restless sea
From a memory
A fantasy
The wind carries
Into white water
Far from the islands
Don't you know you're
(chorus 1)
Never going to get to france
Mary queen of change will they find you
Never going to get to france
Could a new romance ever bind you
Walking on foreign ground
Like a shadow
Roaming in far off
Territory
Over your shoulder
Stories unfold you're
Searching for sanctuary
You know you're
(repeat chorus 1)
(chorus 2)
I see a picture
By the lamp's flicker
Isn't it strange how
Dreams fade and shimmer
(repeat chorus 1)
(repeat chorus 2)
(repeat chorus 1)
Album & 7" version:
Never going to get to france
Never going to
Never going to get to france
Never going to
Never going to get to france
Never going to
Silence in the air.
Is anybody there?
Searching every sound.
Walking on quiet ground
(chorus)
Somebody's out to get you!
Hiding in shadows - poison arrows.
Somebody's out to break you!
Hiding in narrows - poison arrows
When you gonna break?
Watching every move you make
And everything you do,
Evil eyes'll be on you.
(repeat chorus)
Don't give in, don't come any closer,
No sir!
Keep running, coming in closer,
Closer.
Don't give in, don't come any closer,
No sir!
Keep running, coming in closer,
Closer.
What you gonna do?
Time is running out on you.
Anywhere you choose,
Anyway, you're gonna lose.
(repeat chorus twice)
Sombody's out to get you.
Watching for a spot, it's a moonlight show.
Reaching through the dark. Do you have to go?
Try to put a message through to your sweetheart.
Won't you like to know the secrets of the heart?
(chorus)
Crystal gazing, crystal gazing.
Whatcha gonna find in crystal gazing?
Crystal gazing, crystal gazing.
Whatcha gonna find in crystal gazing?
Voices in the dark and the lights turned low.
Teachers of the art that you never know.
Try to put a message through to your sweetheart.
Won't you like to know the secrets of the heart?
(repeat chorus)
Pictures from the night, won't you be my guide?
What you talk about on the other side.
Carry you a message back from your sweetheart.
Won't you like to know the secrets of the heart?
(repeat chorus)
Watching for a spot, it's a moonlight show.
Reaching through the dark. Do you have to go?
Try to put a message through to your sweetheart.
Won't you like to know the secrets of the heart?
Watching for a spot, it's a moonlight show.
Reaching through the dark. Do you have to go?
I have a crazy man
Waiting for a confirmation.
Signs keep a-changing up.
I need some more information.
Some are tricks of the light, you'll never know.
Make a flickering midnight light into a glow.
It's a trick of the light.
It's a trick of the light.
Something that tells me how,
Her bright blue eyes are shining.
She turns up her head now,
Where she walks, she's and I am.
(chorus)
Some are tricks of the light, you'll never know.
Make a flickering midnight light into a glow.
And the spot that you saw so bright was just for show.
Could it ever have turned out right? You'll never know.
It's a trick of the light.
It's a trick of the light.
She turns, she takes his hand,
Breaking his concentration.
She burns at his command,
That ends some man's recollection.
(repeat chorus)
Could it ever have turned out right, now?
It's a trick of the light.
That is something you'll never know.
It's a trick of the light.
Could it ever have turned out right, now?
It's a trick of the light.
That is something you'll never know.
It's a trick of the light.
Could it ever have turned out right, now?
It's a trick of the light.
That is something you'll never, something you'll never,
Something you'll never, something you'll never,
Something you'll never, something you'll never,
Something you'll never, something you'll never....
When you want the score,
When you need a helping hand.
When you find closed doors,
When you're back where you began.
Keeping those secrets,
Telling those lies.
Can anybody tell me what's the big surprise?
(chorus)
Discovery.
Who has the chance to have it all?
Discovery.
Give me some truth and stop makin' me cry!
Discovery.
How can you sleep?
How can you turn away?
Thinking so cheap,
Someday you're gonna pay!
You're keeping secrets,
I can see in your eyes.
Can anybody tell me why the big disguise?
(repeat chorus twice)
Please, give me some chance.
Give me some confidence.
Would you please set me free?
Oh, someone, deliver me!
Who's keeping secrets?
I got my spies.
Does anybody think we live in paradise?
(repeat chorus twice)
Walking out in the street light, midnight.
Whisper wind, catch me in the headlight.
Talk about your life, I'd like to know.
It's not easy going where no-one goes,
And no-one knows.
(chorus)
Do we have to be so distant?
How can you be so unreal?
What's the reason for hiding, and
How does crying make you feel?
I can see you're talking to me in riddles.
Do what you like, you go where the wind blows.
Talk about your life, I'd like to know.
It's not easy going where no-one goes,
And no-one knows.
(repeat chorus)
I reach for certain disguise that you're leaving,
And I can tell by the mist in your eyes that you're dreaming.
Dreaming.
Do we have to be so distant?
How can you be so unreal?
In the clouds, running and chasing shadows.
In the crowd, frozen in the window.
Talk about your life, I'd like to know.
It's not easy going where no-one goes,
And no-one knows.
(repeat chorus four times)
Would you like to look through my telescope?
The milky way's a fine sight to see.
All around our Universe, we try so hard to view
What's new.
Make a trip down to Sagittarius
And take a spin by some nebula.
I hope the sky stays clear for us, the night goes on so far
In stars.
(chorus)
Saved by a bell,
Suffering hell,
But you were too blind to tell.
Saved by a bell,
Suffering hell,
And you made it through so well.
Shining like bright diamonds, the Galaxies.
Jupiter and Saturn spin by.
Passing by companions, they all go drifting by.
They fly!
Carry me down to see Aquarius.
We're hoping to meet a shooting star.
I can see there's going to be a message from afar.
How close we are.
(repeat chorus four times)
