Paul Pratt

Verse 1
Time is novel
Unique and Divine
Events we treasure
Process thoughts in the lifeline
Moments we remember
May be lost sometimes
Verse 2
Moments we measure
of emotional weight
Shift in perspective to
Hesitate they
Tremble in value
Attempt to share
Fail to renew
Escape in the air
Bridge
Beyond us all
Moments fall
Verse 3
Wisdom
Crystal pearls of ancient capital
Space dust stored
In an ocean of trust
A data canal
Universal authority
A priority channel
To preserve at all cost
Never mind the moments lost
What must be free
forever will be
Chorus
Theory and fact
Do not vacate
Thought once formed
Will find a space to wait
Our senses search to relate
To the presence of fate
What is lost will be found
By the acts we create
In a turning world
We celebrate

Verse 1
An environment of bliss
I welcome with a kiss
As all the elements on high
Paint a velvet sky with
Moons of love and pleasure
My adrenalin thrill
A precious memory still
I am welcome in society
Chorus
A source we share
Of pure delight
A world of hope
Day and night
We radiate a perfect light
Connect to what is always right for
Love to celebrate freedom
Verse 2
Thoughts of joy
A happy excitement
Satisfaction of desire and
Enlightenment
Health and attraction
Rich value as I
Warm beside the fire
In an avenue of pleasure
Without the need to hide
Bridge
While the weather blows fair
Through my hair
Verse 3
Sunshine energy
Fills me to the brim
I discover the cache
Hidden within a
Core of essential light
Where I bathe and swim
A stockpile store for ever more
Beyond bullion jewels and
Sweet creation
A pleasure trove of
Pure foundation
Chorus
A source we share
Of pure delight
A world of hope
Day and night
We radiate a perfect light
Connect to what is always right for
Love to celebrate freedom

Verse 1
Under a harvest moon
We compose
A tomorrow tune
A changing key
The illusion of technology
Let it be
Break through
Eternity --- Chorus
Chorus
Dreams restore energy
Certainty builds
Barriers vanish
Time is still
Tunes stream
Into tomorrow
Voices low
Infinity follows
Verse 2
Thought loops liberate
Cycles of light accelerate
A speed of reality
Beyond resolution
Forms a fusion
We uplift with momentum
We respond to rock and roll
Bridge
We renew
Within our very core
Verse 3
Future melody moves forward
Shapes contour and
Flow ever onward
Our crystal forecast
Creates tomorrow
Our tune carries the vision of soul
Chorus
Dreams restore energy
Certainty builds
Barriers vanish
Time is still
Tunes stream
Into tomorrow
Voices low
Infinity follows

Verse 1
Is that you really in there
That you’re trying to hide
Behind
Is it you inside
You allow out sometimes
Or can it be me
That you set free
For all to see
Chorus
When you battle
To get your sentences out
No need to shout
To nobody there
With no one to follow you
And nobody to care
To be
The cross you bear
Verse 2
Where have you gone to now
I can feel the tension
As you live without your love
And blame another
For every favour you can find
I am not blind
I feel your pain again
And you have nothing to gain
As you remain in the shadow
Alone to rattle your chain---bridge

Bridge
No need to shout
To nobody there
Verse 3
We have turned the page
And come of age
You are secure
I visit no more
But you still open the door
So
We can say hello
The rules don’t apply
To you and I
We just needed to know
All that time ago
We are an alter ego
With a long way to go
Chorus
When you battle
To get your sentences out
No need to shout
To nobody there
With no one to follow you
And nobody to care
To be
The cross you bear

Verse 1
Allow me
To introduce my piece
For a brief duration
to approach you in
Greeting to conduct the occasion
To form my impression
state my intention
In an overture
Familiar in section
to the audience selection
Verse 2
I will set the mood
You will find your feet
Address the beat
Join my journey
Feel the process
The sentiment the plot
Access romance the
Anticipation circumstance
Arriving late or leaving early
Bridge
The music will open the door
Verse 3
Witness my overture
Pilot my spell
Test all factors
The dramatic structure
Will document all actors
Capture my expression
The movement in session
The detail will not fail to engage
Chorus
As the beginning leads the way
Rules enter the play with
Points to prove
Our foundations sway
Tunes both hasten and delay to
Chase our blues away
The overture has passed
The end forms too fast
A brief and beautiful contrast
Leaves us alone
Feeling outcast
All the way home

Verse 1
They put a lock and chain
On love lane
But the whores remain
Their beds are made
Open for trade
Sunshine or rain
For the lost and waylaid
They lie waiting to be paid
No one can complain
Chorus
Stay out of the cold
You will get old
If you are too bold
You will be bought and sold
Verse 2
The windows are blocked
On love lane
One cannot be shocked now
The doors stay open
The pipes are fully stocked
No need to knock
No words are spoken
The deal is locked
Anyhow
Bridge
They put a lock and chain
On love lane
Verse 3
An age old occupation
Profit from sexual relation
Removes anticipation
From any occasion
An enterprise beyond surprise
Willing and able
Never unstable
Folded money upon the table
Bridge
They put a lock and chain
On love lane
Verse 4
The lights burn dim
On love lane
To disguise the sin
Of no shame
To colour the shadow
In candle flame
All come and go
Without being
No one needs to
Know their name
Everyone looks
Without seeing
Bridge
They put a lock and chain
On love lane
Verse 5
The birds don’t fly
On love lane
They watch the sky
As if they feel pain
Dogs don’t bark
Even after dark
I don’t know why
Perhaps the look in the eye
Of the passerby
As they walk by
That gather their thought
About being caught
Before they even try
Keep the animals away
Every day
Bridge
They put a lock and chain
On love lane
Verse 6
All stays the same
On love lane
Nothing will change
You can come again
An open cage
No detail plain
An empty stage
In any age
Where only you can turn the page
Before you ride the train
Chorus
Stay out of the cold
You will get old
If you are too bold
You will be bought and sold

Verse1
In the subconscious
My dream is endless
A loop of infinite potential
Unresolved yet essential
To pursue an open cage of possibility
Verse 2
Freedom seems out of control
Belief finds a purpose
Imagination determined and immortal
Flows into regions of liquid crystal
Lucid sequence imagery
Displays alternate reality
Bridge
As the dream goes on
Verse 3
Space vast in continual process
Collapses
The temporal measure slows
Cosmic interaction follows contraction
Hypnosis structures dimension
There is a tension in the stream
To balance each state
Chorus
Dreams reveal
Endless scenes
Sleep carries themes
Streams of truth pretend
Time may bend
But never end
Space will extend
Like a perfect friend
They fit together
As they work alone
They share forever
To welcome you home

Verse 1
I found you in my storybook
Illustrated and animated
One look is all it took
I was on the plain
In the rain in Spain
Beyond allegories concepts
Fantasy and fresh ideas
I understand childhood fable magic
Runs deeper than it appears
Chorus
You may dance through the cracks
Attack Mad Max
Romance Cleopatra
Until the aliens come back
But you cannot deny
The truth and the lie
Nor overlook
The eye in the sky
Writes in the storybook for
You and I
Verse 2
There we were
Children together
Hansel and Gretel
Alice and Mad hatter
The mystery escaped
I threw my cape
To cover the puddle
You my queen took the trouble
To free me from the villainous toad
Who came in from the cold
We left on the road
Yet the theatre remains
Filled with color code epic
Fairytales and
Criminal novel bloodstains
Bridge
As we walk the leopards
In the snow
You and I know
We never can say goodbye
Verse 3
I saw you again
You did not age
On another page
We were in love
In a time of war
Oliver Twist was asking for more
Fenimore Cooper and a Mohican family
Dancing to a romantic score
Light covered your flashing eyes
Doctor Strangelove offered fascination
Sergeant Pepper consolidated imagination
We travelled through time
To the East where
Storybook lines rewind
Chorus
You may dance through the cracks
Attack Mad Max
Romance Cleopatra
Until the aliens come back
But you cannot deny
The truth and the lie
Nor overlook
The eye in the sky
Writes in the storybook for
You and I
