Work Of Heart Lyrics - Singles - Harper Roy

I. No One Ever Gets Out Alive 

II. Two Lovers in the Moon 

III. We Are the People 

IV. All Us Children (So Sadly Far Apart) 

V. We Are the People (reprise) 

VI. No One Ever Gets Out Alive (finale) 

No one ever gets out alive 

Not you or me 

Can you imagine TV in heaven 

Ghosts on Eleven Alive 

Elvis and Jesus on Johnny Carson 

God on the same 9 to 5 

(Thank goodness) No-one ever gets out alive 

Not you or me 

Under the spreading chestnut in April 

I'm gonna lay me down 

Get on with being one of the people 

Don't let it get me down 

(Thank goodness) No-one ever gets out alive 

Not you or me 

All of my life I've been chasing reality 

All that I write is a dream 

But some dreams come true 

Though it's only a few 

The most are off-beam 

And all that I see are the ghosts of the robbers 

Who laid all these traps 

Where blind politicians made desperate decisions 

With wall to wall cops 

And I'm so surprised at you 

I never realised that you needed living this way 

I thought you had brains 

But it only remains 

To bid you good day 

And a very good day 

Cos me and my lady know it's so shady 

We sometimes try turning away 

But where can we go 

Where we just wouldn't know 

There's only today 

But the road's so long and longer 

Like a dream adrift a stone 

Where she and I together lie 

And then apart are thrown 

Two pebbles in the wheeltreads 

Of passing afternoon 

Shed by time and circumstance 

Two lovers in the moon 

And through the passing years love 

I will quest for you and I 

I know you are my lady 

You'll believe me by and by 

By and by 

Falling here with her 

Into the evening breeze 

Over her shoulder 

Before the sunset seas 

O my love 

Must we leave this place 

To believe 

That all the time 

We slowly climb 

Towards the vision 

We are the people 

Precious time began 

We are the people 

When all is said and done 

We are the people 

We are everyone 

We are the people 

And gone 

We don't have precious time my love 

To hide in high rise crime above 

These politics of slime my love 

We only have each others eyes 

To see the world 

(Can I read your hands 

Are there any lines 

Do we carry on 

Are there any signs?) 

I'm looking to build a home 

With you 

If I ask you to be part 

Of me 

And true 

In the heart 

That I will always be 

In you 

And I trust my true love 

You in me 

And I'm looking to build this dream 

Come true 

Into the deep of deepest 

Heart to heart 

With you 

And all us children 

In this present world 

So sadly far apart 

Can you hear me 

As all the time 

We slowly climb 

Towards the vision 

We are the people 

Precious time began 

We are the people 

When all is said and done 

We are the people 

We are everyone 

And gone 

And power 

Cannot be held 

For longer than splitting an atom 

Or longer than batting an eyelid 

Or longer than being a bee 

On a flower 

Any by and by 

I'm gonna see your face 

In another sky 

As we leave this place 

With an old invitation in your smile 

No prosecution or any trial 

And under the spreading chestnut in April 

I'm gonna lay my case 

With you in my arms as two of the people 

Head out to inner space 

(Thank goodness) No one ever gets out alive 

Not you or me 

I didn't say no-one ever got out 

But no-one ever gets out alive 

Not you or me
