Richie's Story
MY BODY IS A CAGE
My body is a cage
That keeps me from dancing
With the one I love
My mind holds the key
My body is a cage
That keeps me from dancing
With the one I love
But my mind holds the key
I'm standing on a stage
Of fear and self-doubt
It's a hollow play
But they'll clap anyway
My body is a cage
That keeps me from dancing
With the one I love
My mind holds the key
My mind holds the key
My mind holds the key
I'm living in an age
That calls Darkness Light
Though my language is dead
Still the shapes fill my head
I'm living in an Age
Whose name I don't know
Though the fear keeps me moving
Still my heart beats so slow
My body is a .........................
My body is a CAGE !
My body is a CAGE !
My mind holds the key
My body is a cage
We take what we are given
Just because you've forgotten
Doesn't mean you're forgiven
I'm living in an Age
That screams my name at night
But when I get to the doorway
There's no one in sight
I'm living in an Age
I realize I am dancing
With the one I love
But my mind holds the key
You're standing next to me
My mind holds the key
Set my spirit free
Set my spirit free
Set my body free
Set my body free
Set my body free

THE DEVIL AND THE HUNTSMAN
Young man came from hunting
Faint and weary
"What doth ail
My lord, my dearie?"
"Oh, Brother, dear,
Let my bed be made
For I feel the gripe
Of the woody Nightshade."
Many a man
Would die as soon
Out of the light
Of a Mage's Moon.
It's not by bone
But yet by blade
Can break the magic
That the Devil made.
And it's not by fire
But what's forged in flame
Can drown the sorrows
Of a huntsman's pain.
This young man,
He died fair soon
By the light
Of a Hunter's Moon
T'was not by bone,
Nor yet by blade,
Oh the berries
Of the woody Nightshade.
"Oh, Father, Dear,
Lie and be safe
From the path
That the Devil made."
EXCALIBUR: LEGEND OF THE SWORD
Lyrics: Sam Lee & Daniel Pemberton.
PURE AND SIMPLE EVERY TIME
Night time slows
Raindrops splash rainbows
Perhaps someone you know
Could sparkle and shine
As daydreams slide
To colour from shadow
Picture the Moonglow
That dazzles my eyes
CHORUS
Just lying smiling in the dark
Shooting stars around your heart
Dreams come bouncing in your head
Pure an...Expand for more
d Simple every time
Now you're crying in your sleep
I wish you'd never learnt to weep
Don't sell the dreams you should be keeping
Pure and Simple every time
VERSE TWO
Dream of sights
Of sleigh rides in Seasons
Where feelings not reasons
Can make you decide
As leaves pour down
Splash Autumn on gardens
As colder nights harden
Their Moonlit delights
CHORUS
Just lying smiling in the dark
Shooting stars around your heart
Dreams come bouncing in your head
Pure and Simple every time
Now you're crying in your sleep
I wish you'd never learnt to weep
Don't sell the dreams you should be keeping
Pure and Simple every time
POST CHORUS
Look at me with starry eyes
Push me up to starry skies
There's Stardust in my head
Pure and Simple every time
Fresh and deep as Oceans new
Shiver at the sight of you
I'll sing a softer tune
Pure and Simple over you
BRIDGE
If Love's the Truth
Then look, no lies
And let me swim around your eyes
I've found a place I'll never leave
Shut my mouth and just believe
Love is the Truth I realize
Not a stream of pretty lies
To use us up and waste
Our time.
CHORUS
Lying smiling in the dark
Shooting stars around your heart
Dreams come bouncing in your head
Pure and Simple every time
Now you're crying in your sleep
I wish you'd never learnt to weep
Don't sell the dreams you should be keeping
Pure and Simple every time.
POST CHORUS
Look at me with starry eyes
Push me up to starry skies
There's Stardust in my head
Pure and Simple every time
Fresh and deep as Oceans new
Shiver at the sight of you
I'll sing a softer tune
Pure and Simple over you
Pure and Simple
Just for you.
