The streets run red with the blood of the innocent Why, why, why? We stab our knives in the back of humanity Why, why, why? There’s never peace just a spiral of violence Why, why, why? We’ll shoot you down for a difference of opinion Why, why, why? Cheap the bullet, easy the gun Sons […]
Lady Macbeth - Barclay James Harvest, The
Like a jester dressed In a silly gown Something evil came to town At the darkest hour In the dead of night All who’d listen gathered round From the uninspired From the tortured sounds No one noticed what she’d done By the pricking of my thumbs Something wicked this way comes Like a fool possessed […]
There’s a life that burns When the night has come Makes me understand You’re the one i see And i can’t say no Take me by the hand Can’t believe that you want it to be Just the game and we’re playing the parts Such a feeling, it won’t let me be Like an arrow […]
Watching You - Barclay James Harvest, The
Try to see it from the other side Keep on looking for a place to hide You don’t have to tell me It’s easy to find If you’re trying to make your dreams come true Then just keep on doing what you do And if you don’t break the rules It’s going to be fine […]

I have seen the streets and alleyways Of a million faceless towns The camera comes, the camera goes Filming our blues for the late night news We gather round Never searching for our innocence Our faith, our truth, our love They’re only there when things go wrong Filming our blues for the late night news […]
Dreams and castles We build them constantly Who will see what we’ve done before? Thoughts that follow me Fools of destiny This is what we’ve become Say you’ll stay with me I just want to be Here with you Say you’ll stay with me I just want to be here Taking chances with Time that […]
Rebel Woman - Barclay James Harvest, The
They say that hell hath no fury A fact that i can’t deny I see the victims of circumstance Convicted without a crime Call it aggressive behaviour Call it the need to be free Call it the cry of the innocent That no-one can believe Rebel, rebel woman, i know you well Rebel, rebel woman, […]
Flashing lights in the club Memories of our wild affair The first night we met I just can’t forget Flashing lights, i was cool What a fool, didn’t realise I just threw the dice With my baby’s life Talk about a dream, i’ll talk about an angel in white Making all my wildest dreams come […]
And though i think of you tonight I cannot hope to hold you tight But i’ve got this feeling in my heart And when tomorrow i’ll be gone How can i hope to carry on? I’ve got a feeling in my heart I can no longer see What’s making things go wrong You’ve stayed away […]
