A moment with you
A love that was so blind
Could not have been further from my mind
Without a clear idea
And then I saw you suddenly appear
I’d like to spend a moment here with you
When we’re together all is new
I simply don’t have time for things I might have missed
When you’re with me they don’t exist
At first I didn’t care
Just out of curiosity I stared
And then I saw inside
The beauty that your cover tried to hide
I read within your heart
A vision that just tore my soul apart
Enamoured by your grace
You know you make my World a better place
The people try to say
That since we met I’ve seemed so far away
Much more than just a friend
A paradise I pray will never end
BELLA VITA TOUR
Come on, come on, come on, come on, it's the BellaVita Tour
Come on, come on, come on, come on, there's room for you I'm sure
Well if you're ready for adventure, why don't you come with us?
It's the journey of a lifetime, on the Bella Vita bus
(chorus)
Well the city where it started, was old Milano town
By Papignano market place we began to lay it down
and we journeyed through the Dolomites, the land seemed in a trance
and then the Munich concert girls showed us how to dance
Then we travelled North to Erlangen where they made us feel at home
and though the people loved our songs the young ones stole the show
and driving down to Switzerland, we were singing on the bus
We crossed the Rhine in Basiglea and the Swiss folk danced with us
So we left behind the mountains, on the road to Montfermeil
I've seen some yuvas dance before but never in that way
and the driver left without us, all alone across the sea
and singing songs of London town we followed Pierlugi
and we strolled along to Old Street, for the gig at Motherlive
though six of us were going to play they cut us down to five
Then we played the hall in Chelsea, where we really turned the page
They thought we had no more to give, then Shava came on stage
and we drove on through the night time, reaching Belgium with the dawn
Arriving there in Everbeek where a baby would be born
Then we found a land of Orange with a rainbow up above
and then the heart of Amsterdam just opened up with love
Coming down the mountain
See the young man, so long ago.
He’s going away now, moving slow
He’s seen the river and the way it flows,
he’s seen enough and he simply had to go
But now he’s coming down the mountain, even after all these years
‘cause there’s a time you tire of waiting
There’s an end to every fear
And they say he seeks a lady but he don’t know where she stays
And he’s coming down the mountain anyway
Too many lies there, too much to bear.
He left it all behind him and he searched for cleaner air
And far he travelled, going up towards the snows
And round about the timberline he lived there all alone
All those feelings he’d left far behind
the pain he felt there, it served to remind
Last time he’d waited on the edge of a dream
Should he laugh or should he scream?
And long he stayed there, drifting through the years
Till finally came a calling that was stronger than his fears
And so he realized it was time to face the past
He stumbled down the mountain
And he found himself at last
Dangerous game
It might have been that song they played on the radio driving home
It might have been a half heard name that was called from the street below
It might have been the scent of a perfume that you caught on the moving stairs
It might have been any one of these sent your heart spinning back through the years
But this final solution, is driving you mad
Just might make you happy And a lot of folks sad
You’d turn your back on the future,
and she'd do the same
But the stakes are too high I really cannot see why
You play this dangerous game
The trail was cold, her address was old and her phone didn’t even ring
I bet you stopped and you asked yourself more than once should i do this thing
And then you searched in the only place where it’s hard for people to hide
And there it was, she had left a trace for you to find her if you tried
Your heart was racing and your breath came short and you didn’t know quite what to do
And then a voice from the distant past said ‘Oh my god, is it really you’?
Well you both tried to play it cool as if you’d never been more than friends
But a spark came to life once more and you both knew how it would end
And you both got a choice to make and it seems like there’s only one way
You won’t learn from the time before and you won’t see the price you’ll pay
And now I’m telling you as a friend that it’s really time to be strong
Won’t you please take a look around at the way you’re about to go wrong
E COSI (It is so)
SHE IS WITH ME, E COSI
SURROUNDED BY A MYSTERY
NO WORDS ARE SAID
SHE LOOKS INSTEAD
UPON ME PEACEFULLY
HER MAGNETIC LOOK
AND SILENCE RICH
TAKE ME TO A REALM IN WHICH
THE SILENCE, PEACE AND LOVE PROFOUND
IN CELESTIAL DANCE ARE BOUND
HER FACE IS RADIANT WITH LIGHT
HER LIVING EYES MY HEART IGNITE
FREED FROM THOUGHT AND IN IT’S PLACE
THE JOY SHINES IN MY FACE
THEN BANISHING MY LAST UNEASE
A BREATH, INVIGORATING BREEZE
COMPELLLING A SURRENDERING
TO HER JOY AND LOVE I SING
THE RESTLESSNESS OF MIND AND HEART
WON OVER, ONE NO MORE APART
AND O’ER MY HEAD, A PURE WHITE DOVE
THE PRESENCE OF HER LOVE
SHE IS WITH ME, E COSI
SURROUNDED BY A MYSTERY
NO WORDS ARE SAID
SHE LOOKS INSTEAD
UPON ME PEACEFULLY
Get the picture
Love from you don’t hide Loneliness inside.. ‘Here I am’ you cried
Love from you don’t hide ,Just walked right up and shouldered you aside ( aside)
‘Here I am’ you cried, you listened hard but nobody replied
How long you felt this way, no-one can say
You gave up hoping for the day
And even if the tide should change, as change it may
Could it be this feeling’s here to stay (here to stay x2)
And it will never go away (you get the picture?)
Brightly burns the flame …Trying all the same..Get back in the game..
Trying all the same, another place where no one knows your name (your name)
Brightly burns the flame but one more time will your heart break be in vain
Time was on your side,..finally arrived.. Standing side by side
Finally arrived, a kindred soul with all that this implied
Standing side by side, one warm embrace for every tear you cried (you cried x2)
How long you felt this way, no-one can say
You gave up hoping for the day
And now the tide has changed, now comes the day
Why still is this feeling in your way (in your way x2)
And will it never go away? (you get the picture?)
I WILL BE STRONG
At the ending of the day
When I seem to lose my way
When the darkness seems to grow
When times are hard and hope is low
When friends are nowhere to be found
Dreams lie shattered on the ground
And the road ahead is long
I will be strong I will be strong
I have had the great good fortune
To meet someone on my way
She gave me love she gave me light
Enough to brighten all my days
Hear the message that I’m sending
Shout it loud both far and near
I don’t believe this World is ending
In 2012 or any year
When the future is uncertain
When your spirit is unsure
When deep inside you’re hurting
With the sound of closing doors
Raise your hands up in the air
You know someone’s always there
Trust in her you can’t go wrong
She’ll make you strong, make you strong
I really want to thank you Mother
For all that you have done for me
You gave me peace and such serenity
You gave me hope Shri Mataji
Living in plan’B’
Just yesterday I caught a glimpse of another me
And he was smiling as he strolled along so carelessly
He looked to be so trouble free and glancing round he said to me
‘You’re living in plan B’
I tried to asked myself when did our common path divide
One of me to win the game and one of me to hide
Too cool to be keen, I know
And where he’s been I’ll never go
I’m living in plan B
Doomed to be a follower, reluctant instigator
Oh don’t you look at me I’m a permanent spectator
Inspiration gone away bottle’s not at home today
I’m staying with plan B
And oh could I but turn the clock and live me once again
Or would I be strong enough or just repeat my sin?
Pick myself up off the floor
Or watch her walk away once more
I’m sticking with plan B
And now I happen to have heard my love is once more free
Looking up a few old friends and asking after me
The part of me that’s scared to go
Is heading for an overthrow
I’ve had it with plan B
No longer a follower, dynamic instigator
Oh don’t you look at me you’re a permanent spectator
Inspiration back to stay Mr. Bottle’s home today
I’ve had it with plan B
Negative people E F# m
Negative people Telling me ‘No’
I want to be free to travel. But they say I can’t go
They don’t seem to realize now they’re not wanted round here
Oh Negative people, my my,why don’t you just disappear?
D A E (B7)
Did your lives grind them down or were you simply born that way
Even as kids was your blue sky grey?
When did your lives become so sour?
Having to drink all day to have just one happy hour
Negative people, so smug and so small
You can’t let nobody in your hearts coz there’s no space at all
You just like to criticize, just like to be unkind
And laughing at others troubles is the
Only comfort you find
Negative people, it seems you just don’t care
You say it’s all hopeless, and we’re going nowhere
They seem to find problems yeah yeah
Where they shouldn’t exist
I can’t see no obstacles
But they’ve got a long list
SOMETHING MISSING
This morning I opened my eyes
They saw all I had but it held no surprise
Could there be something that’s more?
That’s staying on the threshold
That hasn’t knocked upon my door
Each single thing I possess
Makes me content makes me… smile more or less
So why is my life not so sweet?
So full yet somehow…
So full yet incomplete
I dream of a time that will be
I’m travelling thoughtless I’m….. travelling free
Tomorrow becomes yesterday
And neither is real neither…,gets in my way
There is a moment, I’m going somewhere instead
There is a moment, can’t you hear what I said?
So it will go, so it would seem
This hunger inside, unfulfilled is my dream
My journey’s my essence my friend
But will I recognize the time
when my seeking’s reached its end
And though there is one by my side
We share many hopes, many paths that we’ve tried
But the last step I’ll make on my own
And I will finally find a day
When nothing in me feels alone
Strong
I told my friends that this time I was really sure
You were so sweet, you were all I’d been looking for
They said ‘You’re wrong, you’re really getting boring
Pull yourself together now before you start us snoring’
Tried to be objective tried to see their point of view
But in my field of vision there was only space for you
I thought that I was dreaming, but much to my suprise
The dream became a nightmare when I opened up my eyes
But now I’m strong
Chorus
now I’m learning how to get along
Thought I’d never smile again but I was wrong
What you know I finally found the words to my song
Turned my back on you I realised I was strong
When we split in a moment of madness
I saw before me an ocean of sadness
All the good turning into badness
I thought I’d closed the door on all my gladness
You had become my one great obsession
But it wasn’t really love it was more of a possession
Just like a vampire you’re draining all my energy
A pain in the neck but from now on I am gonna be strong
I took a stroll through your heart and your soul
Hoping to find something good or maybe something whole
But instead of finding poetry or love behind your door
There were just some chocolate wrappers that you’d thrown upon the floor
I thought I’d need a lifetime of healing
I thought my heart was closed to all feeling
But instead of just surveying all the damage that you’d done
I called up all my friends and I went back to having fun
Coz now I’m strong
Just the other day I saw you down the high street
Torturing some other guy when suddenly our eyes meet
I tried to fake a frown but deep inside I’m smiling
I know your number now and it won’t be the one I’m dialling coz I’m strong
Susannah
She’s got a secret only she can know
When they’re all leaving she don’t wanna go
She’s got a feeling growing in her head
That she’d rather be somewhere else instead
And when Susannah finds her self control
You get a feeling of her inner soul
There aint no telling what this girl could do
If she made up her mind to see it through
Susannah sighs***********look closely she’s got tear drops in her eyes
Nobody lies************* And noone ever sees through her disguise
I wonder why************And will she ever tell you what’s inside
She’d rather fly***********She’d rather make her home up in the sky
She’s out of range*********Half curious half frightened of a change
It’s kind of strange*********She can’t decide which part to rearrange
She’s leaving soon*********Her destination changes with the moon
It’s a kind of boon************in a world that’s slightly out of tune
The boys around*********trying everything to bring her down
Around the town********but somehow they just cannot make her frown
They play their game***** Half joking, half insistent, half inane
It’s all in vain***********Susannah’s travelling on a different train
She’s something more***She stands upon a dark and distant shore
She fights a war*******her friends defend her right to be so sure
And when she tries*****to understand just where her future lies
The mystery dies********A warrior with flowers in his eyes
Thin King
Voices cry so far they hurl, there’s no silence in my World
Every thought that does unfurl is a swine before a pearl
Take me where the cool wind blows, where the darkness never shows
As continually it flows, never ceasing on it goes
Like a river with no end, or a dog without a friend
Like a place you’re trying to find that you can’t get off your mind
Will I ever see the light, is it hopeless, should I fight?
Is there somewhere else instead?
These thoughts are running through my head
Problems with my studies and the prof who drives me mad
Argued with my mother coz she says my friends are bad
Got a pimple on my nose and it will not go away
I tell you that I’m feeling fine but I’m really not okay
Got a buzzing in my head now and it won’t leave me alone
Got a call , got a message got me best friend on the phone
Gotta get some rest now and I’ve got a lot to do
And I surely cannot spare the time to hang around with you
All the kids are crying and my husband’s never home
The small ones got a fever and my boss is on the phone
Her brother’s lost his school books and can’t study on his own
The other has a boyfriend and she thinks that I don’t know
There’s a leak that I can’t mend, Will the housework ever end,
I’ve got five e mails to send, there’s no time to meet my friend
I’ve got a thousand things to do now and not one of them’s for me
And it really would be nice to have a lovely cup of tea
There’s a hundred million problems that are pressing on my mind
I’d prioritize and delegate but never have the time
There’s nobody to help me and no one seems to care
I’m slowly being strangled by a deadline that’s unfair
My team’s at home on Saturday, and I want to wash the car
I’d like to go to France but I don’t think she’ll get that far
I promised a good restaurant on our anniversary night
I can’t afford a present but some flowers should do alright

BELLA VITA TOUR
Come on, come on, come on, come on, it's the BellaVita Tour
Come on, come on, come on, come on, there's room for you I'm sure
Well if you're ready for adventure, why don't you come with us?
It's the journey of a lifetime, on the Bella Vita bus
(chorus)
Well the city where it started, was old Milano town
By Papignano market place we began to lay it down
and we journeyed through the Dolomites, the land seemed in a trance
and then the Munich concert girls showed us how to dance
Then we travelled North to Erlangen where they made us feel at home
and though the people loved our songs the young ones stole the show
and driving down to Switzerland, we were singing on the bus
We crossed the Rhine in Basiglea and the Swiss folk danced with us
So we left behind the mountains, on the road to Montfermeil
I've seen some yuvas dance before but never in that way
and the driver left without us, all alone across the sea
and singing songs of London town we followed Pierlugi
and we strolled along to Old Street, for the gig at Motherlive
though six of us were going to play they cut us down to five
Then we played the hall in Chelsea, where we really turned the page
They thought we had no more to give, then Shava came on stage
and we drove on through the night time, reaching Belgium with the dawn
Arriving there in Everbeek where a baby would be born
Then we found a land of Orange with a rainbow up above
and then the heart of Amsterdam just opened up with love
Coming down the mountain
See the young man, so long ago.
He’s going away now, moving slow
He’s seen the river and the way it flows,
he’s seen enough and he simply had to go
But now he’s coming down the mountain, even after all these years
‘cause there’s a time you tire of waiting
There’s an end to every fear
And they say he seeks a lady but he don’t know where she stays
And he’s coming down the mountain anyway
Too many lies there, too much to bear.
He left it all behind him and he searched for cleaner air
And far he travelled, going up towards the snows
And round about the timberline he lived there all alone
All those feelings he’d left far behind
the pain he felt there, it served to remind
Last time he’d waited on the edge of a dream
Should he laugh or should he scream?
And long he stayed there, drifting through the years
Till finally came a calling that was stronger than his fears
And so he realized it was time to face the past
He stumbled down the mountain
And he found himself at last
Dangerous game
It might have been that song they played on the radio driving home
It might have been a half heard name that was called from the street below
It might have been the scent of a perfume that you caught on the moving stairs
It might have been any one of these sent your heart spinning back through the years
But this final solution, is driving you mad
Just might make you happy And a lot of folks sad
You’d turn your back on the future,
and she'd do the same
But the stakes are too high I really cannot see why
You play this dangerous game
The trail was cold, her address was old and her phone didn’t even ring
I bet you stopped and you asked yourself more than once should i do this thing
And then you searched in the only place where it’s hard for people to hide
And there it was, she had left a trace for you to find her if you tried

And then a voice from the distant past said ‘Oh my god, is it really you’?
Well you both tried to play it cool as if you’d never been more than friends
But a spark came to life once more and you both knew how it would end
And you both got a choice to make and it seems like there’s only one way
You won’t learn from the time before and you won’t see the price you’ll pay
And now I’m telling you as a friend that it’s really time to be strong
Won’t you please take a look around at the way you’re about to go wrong
E COSI (It is so)
SHE IS WITH ME, E COSI
SURROUNDED BY A MYSTERY
NO WORDS ARE SAID
SHE LOOKS INSTEAD
UPON ME PEACEFULLY
HER MAGNETIC LOOK
AND SILENCE RICH
TAKE ME TO A REALM IN WHICH
THE SILENCE, PEACE AND LOVE PROFOUND
IN CELESTIAL DANCE ARE BOUND
HER FACE IS RADIANT WITH LIGHT
HER LIVING EYES MY HEART IGNITE
FREED FROM THOUGHT AND IN IT’S PLACE
THE JOY SHINES IN MY FACE
THEN BANISHING MY LAST UNEASE
A BREATH, INVIGORATING BREEZE
COMPELLLING A SURRENDERING
TO HER JOY AND LOVE I SING
THE RESTLESSNESS OF MIND AND HEART
WON OVER, ONE NO MORE APART
AND O’ER MY HEAD, A PURE WHITE DOVE
THE PRESENCE OF HER LOVE
SHE IS WITH ME, E COSI
SURROUNDED BY A MYSTERY
NO WORDS ARE SAID

It’s kind of strange*********She can’t decide which part to rearrange
She’s leaving soon*********Her destination changes with the moon
It’s a kind of boon************in a world that’s slightly out of tune
The boys around*********trying everything to bring her down
Around the town********but somehow they just cannot make her frown
They play their game***** Half joking, half insistent, half inane
It’s all in vain***********Susannah’s travelling on a different train
She’s something more***She stands upon a dark and distant shore
She fights a war*******her friends defend her right to be so sure
And when she tries*****to understand just where her future lies
The mystery dies********A warrior with flowers in his eyes
Thin King
Voices cry so far they hurl, there’s no silence in my World
Every thought that does unfurl is a swine before a pearl
Take me where the cool wind blows, where the darkness never shows
As continually it flows, never ceasing on it goes
Like a river with no end, or a dog without a friend
Like a place you’re trying to find that you can’t get off your mind
Will I ever see the light, is it hopeless, should I fight?
Is there somewhere else instead?
These thoughts are running through my head
Problems with my studies and the prof who drives me mad
Argued with my mother coz she says my friends are bad
Got a pimple on my nose and it will not go away
I tell you that I’m feeling fine but I’m really not okay
Got a buzzing in my head now and it won’t leave me alone
Got a call , got a message got me best friend on the phone
Gotta get some rest now and I’ve got a lot to do
And I surely cannot spare the time to hang around with you
All the kids are crying and my husband’s never home
The small ones got a fever and my boss is on the phone
Her brother’s lost his school books and can’t study on his own
The other has a boyfriend and she thinks that I don’t know
There’s a leak that I can’t mend, Will the housework ever end,
I’ve got five e mails to send, there’s no time to meet my friend
I’ve got a thousand things to do now and not one of them’s for me
And it really would be nice to have a lovely cup of tea
There’s a hundred million problems that are pressing on my mind
I’d prioritize and delegate but never have the time
There’s nobody to help me and no one seems to care
I’m slowly being strangled by a deadline that’s unfair
My team’s at home on Saturday, and I want to wash the car
I’d like to go to France but I don’t think she’ll get that far
I promised a good restaurant on our anniversary night
I can’t afford a present but some flowers should do alright
