Narnia (Hackett)Based on the children's book - "The Lion, The Witch & The Wardrobe" by C.S. Lewis.
Things they taught you at school Can sometimes disappear Why do you disbelieve The things I said were true Of a land nothing planned It just happens Girls and boys who shout come out to play With a queen cold as ice You'd best take my advice To steer clear of her charm She's easily annoyed What's that sound, you turn around It just happens there are bells And reindeer drawing a sleigh There troubled with snow covered peaks Till the end of time We know you're a daughter of eve And a friend of mine - no Yes I'm certain that you Will influence the rest She could turn you to stone You're suitably impressed And so easily led There just happen to be repercussions Months ahead Oh there troubled with snow covered peaks Till the end of time We know you're a daughter of eve And a friend of mine - no

Racing In A (Hackett)
When I feel I'm over reacting and I'm trying too hard it might be that I need to get out in the country my friend There are many ways of seeking my fortune I don't really have to lose my mind on the highway (my) thoughts always racing away to the sun no one's stopping me from lying around There's surely something to it all way to the sun no one's stopping me from lying around There's surely something to... taking a friend I know that I can share another day in the warm country air When I feel I'm over reacting and I'm trying too hard it might be that I need to get out in the country... away to the sun no one's stopping me from lying around There's surely something to... taking a friend I know that I can share another day in the warm country air...
How Can I? (Hackett)
The local radio says sorry time to go But, I don't sleep too well. Where are those Southern Belles Tryin a' get a telephone line through South Caroline Your call may bring somebody down for miles around I'm watching her eyes again. I won't use no fountain pen. The lady isn't here. The message wasn't clear. She left an hour ago, screamed from the floor below. Mother nature never gives in, she wants you to sing But how can I go on just singing this song My car's out of gas again. Hurry home to see my friend Money won't help you to win a new look at things Loving can bring you down so you fall Then why do you still try to get up at all Your good'n bad side showin through Problems are a part of you You must love someone else or face life by yourself You may expect a call. She's waiting in the hall See the garden grows and it grows nobody else knows And you can wear just any old thing, the show can begin I'm falling asleep to dream. No more hills to climb it seems Money won't help you to win a new look at things You never give in So why don't you sing But how can I go on just singing this song My car's out of gas again I'll be home to see my friend
Hoping Love Will Last (Hackett)
There are many friends that I once knew who felt the same special thing that I share with you They've grown apart in different ways I wonder if someone hears as I start to say I'm hoping love will last Yes I'm hoping love will last on and on, on and on Why do I dream love's labour's lost I'm just a face with a name that you soon forgot but when I'm scared the most, the nightmare ends then safe and sound I awake in your arms again - I'm hoping love will last Yes I'm hoping love will last on and on, on and on How can I go on alone when your love, when your love is all I've known Sometimes we stay many miles away you know you're here every minute throughout the day within my thoughts, within my thoughts so take good care I only wait for the moments we both can share hoping love will last Yes I'm hoping, hoping love will last on and on, on and on
Please Don't Touch (Hackett)
For maximum effect this track should be listened to as loudly as possible with as much treble and bass as your system can muster - not to be played to people with heart conditions or those in severely hallucinogenic states of mind.

Icarus Ascending (Hackett)
There are many things that I would rather do Many many places I would rather be Splendour wings of ambition Melted by the sun To the sea of remorse Graveyard come Dogs that bark at night are fearful of the moon Will the sound of children's toys remain in tune The same light shines on vineyards That makes deserts its true What awaits me if I follow you - ooh And all that's behind me And I flew this time Never falling Since your eyes first touched mine
