DO SOL
Is it the painter or the picture
DO SOL
Hanging in the gallery?
DO SOL
Admired by countless thousands
DO SOL
Who attempt to read the secrets
DO RE
Of his vision of his very soul
DO SOL
Is it the painter or the picture
DO SOL
Hanging in the gallery?
DO SOL
Or is it but a still life
DO SOL
Of his own interpretation
DO SOL
Of the way that God has made us
DO RE SOL
In the image of his eye?
Is it the sculptor or the sculpture
Standing in the gallery?
Touched by fleeting strangers
Who desire to feel the strength of hands
That realized a form of life
Is the the sculptor or the sculpture
Standing in the gallery?
Or is it but the tenderness
With which his hands were guided
To discard the unessentials
And reveal the perfect truth
Is it the actor or the drama
Playing to the gallery?
Heard in every corner
Of the theatre of cruelty
That masks the humor in his speech
Is the the actor or the drama
Playing to the gallery?
Or is it but the character
Of any single member of the audience
That forms the plot
Of each and every play
Is it the singer or his likeness
Hanging in the gallery?
Tongue black, still and swollen
His eyes staring from their sockets
He is silent now, will sing no more
Is it the singer or his likeness
Hanging in the gallery
Or is it but his conscience,
Insecurity, and loneliness
When destiny becomes at last
The cause of his demise

Hero's face was gaunt and tanned
LAmSus4 LAm
His sail was set in search of land
DOsus2 DO
His life-raft, solely by him manned
REm
Was guided by the tide
REm REmSus2
Heroine wore fleecy white
LAmSus4 LAm
She beckoned like some savior bright
DOsus2 DO
Shipwrecked sailors in the night
REm
Were bid welcome to her side
Where one man's search must surely cease
The irresistible white fleece
Led Hero in search of the peace
Which she alone could offer
Thus he knelt before her feet
Wary lest their eyes should meet
He knew his life was incomplete
For he had yet to suffer
Enticing Heroine, so calm
Took Hero firmly by the arm
Told him that she meant no harm,
That she alone could save him
Hero could no longer speak
While realizing he was weak
His life increasingly grew bleak
For all the love she gave to him
While storm clouds gathered high above
The Heroine he grew to love
Turned slowly to a snow white dove
And spread her wings to fly
Crushed and broken in the end
Hero watched his sould ascend
Knowing that he was condemned
To sail all alone to die
Round and Round -- David Cousins

LA MI RE LA
I drew the blade across my wrist
MI RE
To see how it would feel
LA MI RE
Looked into the future
LA MI RE
There was nothing to reveal
RE MI
For we were just the product
RE MI
Of the ever spinning wheel...
RE MI LA
Round and round we go...
Come and see me
When the screw has turned another turn
It's not that I'm confused
I have an awful lot to learn
But I will be the one
To make you work for what you earn
Round and round we go...
After all
It's just the revolution I despise
The dawn of revelations
And the flower power prize
I pity those poor children
With no sunshine in their eyes
Round and round we go...
Where do you go -- David Cousins
LA MI RE MI
When you were young you were protected
LA MI RE MI
When you were growing you were sheltered
LA MI RE MI
But when you reached your adult years
NC LA
You were left alone
RE MI LA
And you had no-one to rely on
RE MI LA
No one to care for you
RE MI MI7
A lost soul in search of some kind of shelter and protection
CHORUS
RE MI LA
Now where do you run
RE MI LA
Where do you hide
RE MI
When you need a hole to crawl in
RE MI LA
Where do you go?
I found that in our darkest hour
The young ones that I knew and loved well
Beckoned with the memory
Of their alluring spell
And so I gathered up my senses
Bade one and all godspeed
If my ways were what you desired then love is what you must need
(Chorus)
I tried to find a consolation
But realized that deep down inside
Consolation is but yet
My all despairing pride
And now I'm dark eyed and bewildered
My guts can feel the strain
My mouth is dry, my chest is tight, and my forehead's lined with the pain
(Chorus)
