Roy Harper - Work of Heart lyrics

I. No One Ever Gets Out Alive II. Two Lovers in the Moon III. We Are the People IV. All Us Children (So Sadly Far Apart) V. We Are the People (reprise) VI. No One Ever Gets Out Alive (finale) No one ever gets out alive Not you or me Can you imagine TV in heaven Ghosts on Eleven Alive Elvis and Jesus on Johnny Carson God on the same 9 to 5 (Thank goodness) No-one ever gets out alive Not you or me Under the spreading chestnut in April I'm gonna lay me down Get on with being one of the people Don't let it get me down (Thank goodness) No-one ever gets out alive Not you or me All of my life I've been chasing reality All that I write is a dream But some dreams come true Though it's only a few The most are off-beam And all that I see are the ghosts of the robbers Who laid all these traps Where blind politicians made desperate decisions With wall to wall cops And I'm so surprised at you I never realised that you needed living this way I thought you had brains But it only remains To bid you good day And a very good day Cos me and my lady know it's so shady We sometimes try turning away But where can we go Where we just wouldn't know There's only today But the road's so long and longer Like a dream adrift a stone Where she and I together lie And then apart are thrown Two pebbles in the wheeltreads Of pa**ing afternoon Shed by time and circumstance Two lovers in the moon And through the pa**ing years love I will quest for you and I I know you are my lady You'll believe me by and by By and by Falling here with her Into the evening breeze Over her shoulder Before the sunset seas O my love Must we leave this place To believe That all the time We slowly climb Towards the vision We are the people Precious time began We are the people When all is said and done We are the people We are everyone We are the people And gone We don't have precious time my love To hide in high rise crime above These politics of slime my love We only have each others eyes To see the world (Can I read your hands Are there any lines Do we carry on Are there any signs?) I'm looking to build a home With you If I ask you to be part Of me And true In the heart That I will always be In you And I trust my true love You in me And I'm looking to build this dream Come true Into the deep of deepest Heart to heart With you And all us children In this present world So sadly far apart Can you hear me As all the time We slowly climb Towards the vision We are the people Precious time began We are the people When all is said and done We are the people We are everyone And gone And power Cannot be held For longer than splitting an atom Or longer than batting an eyelid Or longer than being a bee On a flower Any by and by I'm gonna see your face In another sky As we leave this place With an old invitation in your smile No prosecution or any trial And under the spreading chestnut in April I'm gonna lay my case With you in my arms as two of the people Head out to inner space (Thank goodness) No one ever gets out alive Not you or me I didn't say no-one ever got out But no-one ever gets out alive Not you or me
