Islands © 1987
(Mike Oldfield)Vocals: Bonnie Tyler
Islands, From The First Time We Saw
We Could Wait For This Moment, Like Rocks On The Shore
We Can Never Be Closer, Somehow
For The Moment That Lasts, Is This Moment Now
When The Night's On Fire, Oh! Will You Keep The Candlelight Burning?
Hold On To Your Heart's Desire (Night's On Fire)
When You See One Bird Into The Wind, Another One's Turning
And The Two Can Fly Much Higher (Higher)
(Chorus)
We Are Islands, But Never Too Far, We Are Islands
And I Need Your Light Tonight, And I Need Your Light Tonight
We Are Islands, But Never Too Far, We Are Islands
And I Need Your Light Tonight, And I Need Your Light Tonight
Islands, Never Been To Before
And We Climb So High To Where The Wild Birds Soar
There's A New Path That We Found Just Today
I Was Lost In The Forest And You Showed Me The Way
When The Night's On Fire, Oh! Will You Keep The Candlelight Burning?
Hold On To Your Heart's Desire (Night's On Fire)
When You See One Bird Into The Wind, Another One's Turning
And The Two Can Fly Much Higher (Higher)
(Repeat -Extended- Chorus Twice)
(Extended Chorus)
We Are Islands But Never To Far, We Are
Islands
And I Need Your Hart Tonight, And I Need Your Heart Tonight
We Are Islands But Never To Far, We Are Islands
And I Need Your Hart Tonight, And I Need Your Heart Tonight
We Are Islands But Never To Far, We Are Islands
And I Need Your Hart Tonight, And I Need Your Heart Tonight
Island
And I Need Your Light To Night
We Are Islands
And I Need Your Light To Night
Islands
Ooh I Need Your Light To Night
Island, I Need Your Light To Night
Island
Doo Doo Doo

Flying Start © 1987
(Mike Oldfield)Vocals: Kevin Ayers
We Took A Place In The Sun
To See Just What Had Become
The Warm Wind Blows Constantly
Does The Answer Still Blow? Did You Find Your Chateau
In That Mediterranean Fantasy?
(Chorus)
Flying Start Made The Whole World Sing
They Had No Choice
Flying Start Like A Shining Pearl, They
Sang In One Voice
To Where The Sun Always Shines
Familiar Faces And Wines
The Warm Wind Blows Constantly
Knock On The Door But The Memory's Poor
Is There Somebody In? Now Answer Me!
Two Dark Eyes From The Doorway Shine
So You Lost Your Dream In A Bottle Of Wine
I Knew You Had To Do It Your Way, Fine
But There's No-One To Carry The Cross This Time
(Repeat Chorus)
On Dusty Roads And Tracks
Now It's The Time To Turn Back
The Warm Wind Blows Constantly
Riding That Storm Since The Day You Were Born
Is There Somebody In? Now Answer Me!
Two Dark Eyes From The Doorway Shine
So You Lost Your Dream In A Bottle Of Wine
I Knew You Had To Do It Your Way, Fine
But There's No-One To Carry The Cross This Time
(Repeat Chorus)

North Point © 1987
(Mike Oldfield)Vocals: Anita Hegerland
Have You Ever Been To North Point
To Spend Your Time And Pray?
The Prison Walls Are Dark And Cold And Grey
The Writing On The Wall At North Point
Speaks To A Silent Room
They Shut The Bars Down, Leave You To The Gloom
(Chorus)
How Could We Get Any Closer? So High Is The Wire
And The Guards Won't Listen
They Won't Believe Me
And Then It All Came Back
Somewhere Far Above Has A New Day Risen
Way Beyond The Searchlight, Comes Alive
Then On A Bright Day At North Point
The Gate Was Open Wide
They Chanced To Look At What Was Inside
There Were A Million Stars At North Point
And From The Silent Tomb
They Took It To The Heart
And Left For The Moon
(Repeat Chorus)
Have You Ever Been To North Point
To Spend Your Time And Pray?
The Prison Walls Are Dark And Cold And Grey

Magic Touch © 1987
(Mike Oldfield)Vocals: Jim Price / us version: Max Bacon
Once In A Lifetime, You Find That Power
To Break Out And Run From The Devil's Deep Clutch
All That You Need, It's The Finest Hour
Is To Believe In The Magic Touch
(Chorus)
A Thief In The Night, Love Steals You Far Away
A Thief In The Night, Love Takes Your Breath Away
Can't Believe It, Like No Other
Love Is A Gift And To Take You So Much
You Need The Blue Night To Discover
Only True Lovers Have The Magic Touch
Once In A Lifetime, You Find That Faith
When You're Under The Spell And It Takes Control
Everything 'Round You Just Falls In Place
And All That You Touch Seems To Turn To Gold
(Repeat Chorus)

The Time Has Come
© 1987
(Mike Oldfield)Vocals: Anita Hegerland
A Thousand Years, They Waited For
Someone Who Would Be True
And Now The Empty Years Have Passed
The Sunlight Shines Anew
Someone Who Knows No Fear
I Feel Him Near
The Child Was Born To Be A King, a King
And The Time Has Come
He Tamed The Wild Wind When He Passed
The Birds And Beasts He Knew
Until He Came To Rest, At Last
The Tall Gates He Passed Through
And Now The Story's Just Begun
A Thousand Years To Stay
We Wake Each Morning With The Sun
To Live Our Dreams Away
And Now The Story's Just Begun
A Thousand Years To Stay
We Wake Each Morning With The Sun
To Live Our Dreams Away |
When The Night's On Fire © 1987
(Mike Oldfield)Vocals: Anita Hegerland
I Was Hoping, Could You Be My Inspiration?
Whatever Should Become In The Candlelight
I Was Dreaming, Was It My Imagination?
Tomorrow Never Comes In The Candlelight
When The Night's On Fire
Do You Need Love's Arms To Hold You?
It's A Flame, There Burns No Finer
When You See One Bird
There's Another Watching Over
And The Two Can Fly Much Higher
I Was Listening To The Wind That Walks The Hours
I Never Would Have Heard, In The Candlelight
I Was Hoping, Would You Shelter Me From Showers?
I Believe Every Word In The Candlelight
When The Night's On Fire And You Burn
Like A Flame That's Burning In The Rain
Do You Need Somewhere To Turn?
When You See One Bird
It's The Two That Fly Higher
And A Second In Heaven's Worth A Whole Life's
Trouble And Trial

Holy © 1989
(Mike Oldfield)Vocals: Adrian Belew
Harmony Always, When I Look Around Me
And Your Smile I See
I Can Feel It Surround Me
A Miracle I Find In Your Company
One Glance Is All That I Need
What I Was Searching For, I've Found It
(Chorus)
Can You Believe It, I'm Walking On Water
And I'm High Off The Ground
Must Be Some Mystique That Weaves It
I'd Never Have Thought Of This Power I've Found
One Glance Is All That I Need
What I Was Searching For, I've Found It
One Look, And Now I Believe
I Could Just Wrap My Whole Self Around It
(Chorus)
Holy, To Me, Just One Glance Is Holy
One Touch Of Your Heart, To Me, That's Holy
Holy, To Me, Just One Glance Is Holy
One Touch Of Your Heart, To Me, That's Holy
You've Seen It, Walking On Water
Miracles Like You Never Seen Before
You've Seen It, Walking On Water
Miracles Like You Never Seen Before
(Repeat Chorus Three Times)
Holy, Holy, One Glance Is Holy
Give Me Just, One Glance Of Your Heart, To Me That's Holy
Ooh Hoo, One Glance Is Holy
One Touch Of Your Heart, To Me , That's Holy
Holy, One Glance Is Holy
One Touch Of Your Heart, To Me That's Holy

Hostage © 1989
(Mike Oldfield)Vocals: Max Bacon / Nikkie "B" Bentley
You Can't Speak, You Can't Sleep
You Daren't Move, You're Confused
You Never Talk, You Can't Walk
You Can't Feel, You're Not Real
If I Open My Eyes, Just Far Enough
I Can See What You're Doing
Go On, Fight To The End, It's Tough Enough
When You're On The Road To Ruin. Yeah!
(Chorus)
You're A Hostage Of The Heart
Twisted 'Round The Smallest Finger
Two Burning Eyes Are Tearing You Apart
Turn Your Soul Into A Cinder
There's No Rest, You're Possessed
You Can't Leave, You Can't Breathe
The Door Slams, Your Head Hangs
You Blank Stare, You Don't Care
If You Open Your Eyes Just Far Enough
You See The Street Lamps Flicker
Go On, Fight To The End, It's Tough Enough
When You Know The End Is Bitter
(Repeat Chorus)
You're Number's Up, You're Eyes Shut
You're On The Brink, You Can't Think
You Wanna Run, But You're Stunned
You Can't Lie, You Don't Try
If I Open My Eyes, Look Hard Enough
I See The Blue Light Flashes
Go On, Fight To The End, It's Tough Enough
Riding On The Road To Ashes
(Repeat Chorus Twice)
I'm A Hostage Of Your Heart
You Can Twist Me 'Round Your Finger
Your Burning Eyes Are Tearing Me Apart
Turn My Soul Into A Cinder
Boy, Boy, Hostage Of Your Heart
Can You Twist Me 'Round Your Finger?

Far Country © 1989
(Mike Oldfield)Vocals: Mark Williamson
She Takes The Rain
Turns It To Sun
And My Soul, She Fills It
Where Once Was A Desert
Rivers Now Run
And My Storm, She Stills It. She Takes The Rain
(Chorus)
She Breathes The Air
From A Far Country
This Bond Survives
Like A Tall, Tall Tree
I Close My Eyes
And How Far I See.... She Takes The Rain
She Gives Me Hope
When There's Nothing But Pain
I Can't Explain It
Two Different Leaves
But The Branch Is The Same
Forever, Let It Be.... She Takes The Rain
(Repeat Chorus)
She Takes The Rain
(Repeat Chorus)

Innocent © 1989
(Mike Oldfield)Vocals: Anita Hegerland
I Know You'll Never Stay The Same
In Time, Most Of Us Lose It
But I'm Hoping, Just The Same
You'll Shine And Learn How To Use It
Speak To Me, Like The Very First Speak
You Are Magnificent When You're Innocent
Laugh To Me, Like The Very First Laugh
You Are From Heaven Sent When You're Innocent
My Hands Hold You And You Adore
Blue Eyes Turn My Direction
Surprise In Everything And Your
Body Moves In Perfection
Smile To Me, Like The Very First Smile
You Are Magnificent When You're Innocent
Walk To Me, Like The Very First Walk
You Are From Heaven Sent When You're Innocent
Sunrise, Here Comes Another Day
Cow Jumps Over The Moon, Now
Sometime, You Will Look Back And Say
"Today, I'll Sing My Own Tune"
Sing To Me, Like The Very First Sing
You Are Magnificent When You're Innocent
Laugh To Me, Like The Very First Laugh
You Are Omnipotent When You're Innocent
Speak To Me, Like The Very First Speak
You Are Magnificent When You're Innocent
Smile To Me, Like The Very First Smile
You Are From Heaven Sent When You're Innocent
Sing To Me, Like The Very First Sing
You Are Magnificent When You're Innocent
Laugh To Me, Like The Very First Laugh
You Are Omnipotent When You're Innocent

Runaway Son ©
1989
(Mike Oldfield)Vocals: Chris Thompson
Good Sister, Won't You Let Me In?
I'm In Need Of Some Warmth And Shelter
It's A Hard Luck Story, Don't Know Where To Begin
I've Been Riding On Life's Helter-Skelter
Save Me, Holy Mother, Please, Save Me!
I Got A Heart Of Gold
(Chorus)
And For Your Love I'd Go Hungry And Thirsty
I Need A Saviour And You're The One
I Throw Myself Into The Arms Of Mercy
There's Still Hope For The Runaway Son
My Good Father, He Say To Me:
"Better Come Back To Your Senses
There's An Empty Bottle Lying On The Floor
And It's Undermined Your Defences"
Save Me, Holy Mother, Please, Save Me!
I Got A Heart Of Gold
(Repeat Chorus Twice)
Good Brother, Show Me How To Get Home
I've Been Walking In The Backyard Of Satan
I'm So Stubborn That I'll Never Give In
But Now My Hearts Cold And Aching
Save Me, Holy Mother, Please, Save Me!
I Got A Heart Of Gold
And For Your Love I'd Go Hungry And Thirsty
I Need A Saviour And You're The One
I Throw Myself Into The Arms Of Mercy
Salvation For The Runaway Son
Save Me, Holy Mother, Please, Save Me!
I Got A Heart Of Gold
(Repeat Chorus)
And For Your Love I'd Go Hungry And Thirsty
I Need A Saviour And You're The One
I Throw Myself Into The Arms Of Mercy
Salvation For The Runaway Son

See The Light © 1989
(Mike Oldfield)Vocals: Chris Thompson
I Been Waiting At This Frontier
And It Seems Like A Hundred Years
But I Couldn't See Past The Gate
I Couldn't See Past The Hate
Now I'm Coming Back To My Senses
I Can See A Light Past The Fences
Standing At The Borderline
I've Come To The End Of The Line
Will-Power, Give Me Some To Survive
One More Hour And I'm Coming Alive
I Can See The Light
(Chorus)
And There's Blue Sky Breaking
Through The Edge Of The Night
I Can See The Light
Oh, I Can Feel The Light
The Most Precious Thing I Possess
Is Knowing The Answer's Yes
And Soon My Liberty
Will Be Reality
I've Been Given A Second Chance
I Could Open My Arms And Dance
Open That Barricade
No Longer I'm Living Afraid
Will-Power, Give Me Some To Survive
One More Hour And I'm Coming Alive
I Can See The Light
(Repeat Chorus)
Now I Climb The Steps To Freedom
The Open Gates, I Can See Them
Hands That I Once Knew
Beckoning Me Through
As The Sunlight Touch My Face
I Can Feel The Warm Embrace
Arms Surround Me
My Life Has Found Me
Will-Power, Give Me Some To Survive
One More Hour And I'm Coming Alive
I Can See The Light
(Repeat Chorus)
Ooh, I Can See The Light
I Can See The Light
Coming In Bright
I Can Feel The Light
Freedom In Sight
Oh, I Can See The Light
Coming In Bright
I Can Feel The Light
I Can See The Light
It's Coming In Bright
I Can Feel The Light
Freedom In Sight
I Can See The Light
Oh, I Can Feel The Light
I Can See The Light
It's Coming In Bright
