Islands
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 moments that lasts, is this moment now

      When the nights's on fire will you keep the Candlelight Burning
      Hold on to your hearts desire
      When you see one bird into the wind another one's turning
      And the two can fly much higher

    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

      Chorus


Flying Start
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

      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 none to carry the cross this time

      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 none to carry the cross this time

      Chorus


North Point
Vocals:Anita Hegerland

    Have you ever been to Northpoint
    to spend your time and pray
    the prison walls are dark and cold and grey
    the writing on the wall at Northpoint
    speaks to a silent room
    they shut the bars down, leave you to the gloom

      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 Northpoint
    the gate was open wide
    they chanced to look at what was inside
    there were a million stars at Northpoint
    and from the silent tomb
    they took it to the heart,
    and left for the moon

      Chorus

    Have you ever been to Northpoint
    To spend your time and pray
    The prison walls are dark and cold and grey


Magic Touch
Vocals: Jim Price, or by Max Bacon (US version)

    Once in a lifetime you find that power
    to break out and run from the devils deep clutch
    all that you need its the finest hour
    is to believe in the Magic Touch

      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 your under the spell and it takes control
    everything round you just falls in place
    and all that you touch seems to turn to gold

      Chorus


The Time Has Come
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

      Bridge Chorus

      And now the story's just begun
      A thousand years to stay
      We wake each morning with the sun
      To live our dreams away

      Bridge Chorus
