Wetton's live album: Recorded live in Osaka & Tokyo, Japan, September/October 1994 HEAT OF THE MOMENT (Wetton/Downes) (1982) Asia: Asia I never meant to be so bad to you One thing I said that I would never do One look from you and I would fall from grace And that would wipe this smile right from my face Do you remember when we used to dance And incidence arose from circumstance One thing lead to another we were young And we would scream together songs unsung It was the heat of the moment Telling me what your heart meant Heat of the moment shone in your eyes And now you find yourself in 82 The disco hotspots hold no charm for you You cant concern yourself with bigger things You catch the pearl and ride the dragons wings And when your looks are gone and you're alone How many nights you sit beside the phone What were the things you wanted for yourself Teenage ambition you remember well DON'T CRY (Wetton/Downes) (1983) Asia: Alpha Hard times you had before you I knew when I first saw you You girl you've always been mistreated, cheated So leave it all behind you It took so long to find you I know that we can last forever ever and more, oh Don't cry now that I've found You Don't cry, take a look around You Don't cry, it took so long to find You Do what You want, but little darling, please Don't cry I knew I'd never doubt it I was so sure about it Don't think of all that's been before I'll hear you when you're calling I'll catch you when you're falling Don't worry I will always be there Like never before, oh RENDEZ-VOUS 6:02 (Jobson/Wetton) (1973) King Crimson: Larks' Tongues In Aspic; (1979) UK: Danger Money It's 5 o'clock driving sown Park Lane and London leaves for the weekend again through the dark city streets in the clinging rain I take my car towards the Thames and Waterloo ... 6:02 Waterloo Was that a face I saw? No, just a trick of light It's getting clearer now but moving out of sight It's cold and late and I can't miss that train I turn around walk through the arch of Waterloo I saw the same hooded face He beckoned me from the gate Did you not know, my friend? Ten years ago was the end After the war Waterloo was no more, But your ticket states There is one train It's leaving now And there is a place Remember my face and Waterloo ... CRIME OF PASSION (Wetton/Young) (1993) Wetton: Battle Lines And you must stand and face the tale to tell Who would think that you would take the life of one you loved so well? And no-one else could see your point of view To one and one has always been the answer two, or so I'm told How does it feel, knowing you're guilty? How does it feel, to be all on your own? With a crime of passion A game of love and hate, but it's too late There's no compassion It's just a tug of war, that's lost before it's begun It's never won It's a crime, it's a crime And so you have to face the world alone The life you took and tore apart without a care of your own And so he gazes in your eyes so cold The love you shared, when you were young Could never heal the pain you hold So how does it feel, knowing you're guilty? How does it feel, to be all on your own, on your own? With a crime of passion A game of love and hate, but it's too late There's no compassion It's just a tug of war, that's lost before it's begun It's never won With something you held so dear How could you throw it away? Your fatal emotions win the day ... How does it feel? How does it feel? CAUGHT IN THE CROSSFIRE (Wetton) (1980) Wetton: Caught In The Crossfire It's a cold, dark and lonely night When you know no way to turn When you've gambled the two things you loved and lost It's the hard and only way to learn When I was young, I though I'd never change But values rarely stay the same Such a drag to go through all of this To see my whole life rearranged I was caught, caught in the crossfire Between you and me and me and her I was caught, caught in the crossfire Between right and left and right and wrong And experience is no comfort now It's the world of the unknown There's a road leading through the crowd I'm the man, the man who walks alone From the start, well I had to choose It was for me along to decide It was plain sailing at daybreak By nightfall I was dragged beneath the tide I was caught, caught in the crossfire Between you and me and me and her I was caught, caught in the crossfire About what was right and what it left for me So everyday, keep searching, to find a way And keep moving, to leave this place Drown in sorrow, raise my glass And maybe tomorrow, maybe tomorrow … EASY MONEY (Fripp/Wetton) (1973) King Crimson: Larks' Tongues In Aspic Your admirers on the street Gotta hoot and stamp their feet In the heat from your physique As you twinkle by in moccasin sneakers And I thought my heart would break When you doubled up at the stake With your fingers all a-shake You could never tell a winner from a snake but you always make money Easy money With your figure and your face Strutting out at every race Throw a glass around the place Show the colour of your crimson suspenders We would take the money home Sit around the family throne My old dog could chew his bone For two weeks we could appease the almighty Easy money Got no truck with the la-di-da Keep my bread in an old fruit jar Drive you out in a motor-car Getting fat on your lucky star just making Easy money IN THE DEAD OF NIGHT (Jobson/Wetton) (1978) UK: UK Are you one of mine who can sleep with one eye open wide? Agonizing psychotic solitary hours to decide Reaching for the light at the slightest noise from the floor Palms of hands perspire heart goes leaping at a knock from the door In the Dead of night In the Dead of night Rich and powerful ascend complicated bends to be free To indulge in what they will and jaded thrill or fanstasy Shuttered windows that belie all stifled cries from within And prying eyes are blind to proceedings of the kind that begin In the Dead of night In the Dead of night THIRTY YEARS (Bruford/Jobson/Wetton) (1978) UK: UK Chasing rainbows for a lifetime then left you girl - left to go Like shadows from the sun Run into traces Of faces you thought you saw But never seemed to mean much more than echoes of a day gone by When someone else would have to try To light the stars In your sky - Your dark sky All the things you planned Just sand castles washed away On tidal waves of tears fears overpowering Your complex dreams just slither down drowning in rocky pools Or smashed and dashed On peril's course, divorcing prematurely thoughts Of lasting love In your life Sometime when you've time to spare Feeling of missed opportunity Spare a tear and douse your bridge burning 30 years and on the ledge learning All the things you planned - baby 30 years in bed ONLY TIME WILL TELL (Wetton/Downes) (1982) Asia: Asia You're leaving now It's in your eyes There's no disguising it It really comes as no surprise To find that you planned it all along I see it now Becomes so clear You insincerity And me all starry-eyed To think that I would have known by now Chorus: Now, sure as the sun will cross the sky This lie is over Lost, like the tears that used to tide me over (Only time will tell) One thing is sure That time will tell (Only time will tell) If you were wrong The brightest ring around the moon Will darken when I die (Only time will tell) You're on your own Inside your room (Only itme will tell) You're claiming victory You were just using me And there is no one you can use now (Only time will tell) One thing is sure That time will tell HOLD ME NOW (Wetton/Marlette/Mitchell) (1993) Wetton: Battle Lines Here ends another day My emotions locked away And my darkness is complete as the midnight sky You steal my confidence My smile is my defense And I turn my face, so you won't see me cry How can you be so cold, and so out of control? As you pour salt into my deepest cut of all My shattered heart, in pieces now And I'm gazing at the fragments of my life Hold me now, maybe just pretend I could be someone that you might have loved before Hold me now, and let me believe in a kiss that means nothing to you… 'Cause it means the world to me Lord above, you sanctify your love And the barrier you built, forces you not to care Break down that door, take my hand if nothing more So when I'm falling, then I know that someone's there I wondered a thousand times, if I could love again But I will overcome, what I can comprehend The honesty I offer you Is as naked as your fear of loving me Hold me now, let it never end Hold me like you've never done before Hold me now, we don't have to pretend Smash the chains and throw them to the floor Hold me now, and let me believe that a kiss is the way it should be… 'Cause it means the world to me It means the world to me STARLESS (Cross/Fripp/Wetton/Bruford/Palmer-James) (1974) King Crimson: Red Sundown dazzling day Gold through my eyes But my eyes turned within Only see Starless and bible black Ice blue silver sky Fades into grey To a grey hope that oh years to be Starless and bible black Old friend charity Cruel twisted smile And the smile signals emptiness For me Starless and bible black BOOK OF SATURDAY (Fripp/Wetton/Palmer-James) (1973) King Crimson: Larks' Tongues In Aspic If I only could deceive you Forgetting the game Every time I try to leave you You laugh just the same 'Cause my wheels never touch the road And the jumble of lies we told Just returns to my back to weigh me down We lay cards upon the table The backs of our hands And I swear I like your people The boys in the band Reminiscences gone astray Coming back to enjoy the fray In a tangle of night and daylight sounds All completeness in the morning Asleep on your side I'll be waking up the crewmen Banana boat ride She responds like a limousine Brought alive on the silent screen To the shuddering breath of yesterday There's the succour of the needy Incredible scenes I'll believe you in the future Your life and death dreams As the cavalry of despair Takes a stand in the lady's hair For the favour of making sweet sixteen You make my life and times A book of bluesy Saturdays And I have to chose ... BATTLE LINES (Wetton/Marlette/Mitchell) (1993) Wetton: Battle Lines And now I stand, forsaking pride The time has come to turn the tide I've drawn the line, I've built my wall And I won't let one more dream fall All days of innocence, I surrendered long ago Where's the wind that takes me higher The had that offers peace The heart that still gives shelter ... I wanna go back to find The innocent days that I left behind I still believe they're holding ground Behind the battle lines If it takes a million miles over land and sea Gonna swim in the rivers of purity I know they still run free Behind the battle lines One more mountain I must climb I've scaled so many in my time And if the sun goes down on me The light of truth will help me see All days of innocence, I surrendered long ago Where's the voice that speaks of mercy The eyes that are not blind The love that's never ending A vision of eternity Oh, Lord! Never take the dream from me Here I am, standing at the edge of destiny ... OPEN YOUR EYES (Wetton/Downes) (1983) Asia: Alpha What on earth are you doing here, in the western world? Another situation, yeah you're a different girl You have lived your life dreaming you were someone else Succeeding's believing in yourself Open Your eyes And see the world that stands before you now Open Your eyes And see the world that stands in front of you You have spent your days trying for something new You have looked at magazine girls, wishing that they were you Do you see in photographs an angel that once was you? Does she tell you stories that are true? Open Your eyes And see the world that stands before you now Open Your eyes And see the world that stands in front of you If I could stand with you right now and speak my mind I would tell you no lies I would shoot straight between the eyes You have stared a thousand times, right into the lens Have you ever thought just once, does it all make sense? Your beauty is eternal so don't just pretend Got to wake up girl, or it's the end ... THE SMILE HAS LEFT YOUR EYES (Wetton) (1983) Asia: Alpha I saw you standing hand in hand And now you come to me, the solitary man And I know what made us live Such ordinary lives The where to go the who to see No one could sympathize The smile has left Your eyes The smile has left Your eyes And I've become a rolling stone I don't know where to go or what to call my own But I can see that black horizon looming ever close to view It's over now it's not my fault See how this feels for you The smile has left Your eyes Now there's no one to sympathize Now it's too late, you realized Now that no one can sympathize, now that The smile has left Your eyes But I never thought I'd see you Standing there with him So don't come crying back to me ...
