Touch And Go - Emerson, Lake & Palmer
Man in the street nowhere to sleep No time for nothing no patek phillipe Pedal to the metal blow by blow You’re runnin’ with the devil it’s touch and go They’re leaving you nothing and nowhere to go Just put you in the corner like an old banjo The strings are breakin’ but you can’t […]

Knife Edge - Emerson, Lake & Palmer
Just a step cried the sad man Take a look down at the madman Theatre kings on silver wings Fly beyond reason From the flight of the seagull Come the spread claws of the eagle Only fear breaks the silence As we all kneel pray for guidance Tread the road cross the abyss Take a […]
Man alone; born of stone; Will stamp the dust of time His hands strike the flame of his soul; Ties a rope to a tree and hangs the universe Until the winds of laughter blows cold. Fear that rattles in men’s ears And rears it’s hideous head Dread …. death …. in the wind …. […]
They said there’ll be snow at christmas They said there’ll be peace on earth But instead it just kept on raining A veil of tears for the virgin’s birth I remember one christmas morning A winters light and a distant choir And the peal of a bell and that christmas tree smell And their eyes […]
