The Chrysler Girl
Music and lyrics by Andy davis and Gus Ferguson
New York city’s a coral reef
And at it’s heart there’s a pearl
If I could give you anything in this world
It would be the Chrysler girl
If we can’t help each other
Nobody else will
We ca go to the top if we want
Just like the Chrysler girl
The Chrysler girl
connections on the road
She’s never under sold
Call if you want her
She looks tall and feminine
Catches light like mother of pearl
One day we’ll all return to dust
Just like the Chrysler girl
Always looking perfect
She shimmers in the heat
One of these days I’ll dream my dream
And fall down at her feet
The Chrysler girl
She’s so tall and discreet
Got connections on the street
Call if you want her
She looks tall and feminine
Catches light like mother of pearl
One day we’ll all return to dust
Just like the Chrysler girl

Emily
Music and lyrics Andy Davis and Gus Ferguson
Emily if you’re so smart
How come you aways wind up with a broken heart?
Emily if you’re so cool
How come everybody takes you for a fool?
You tried all night but his heart ain’t in it
He won’t surrender to your charms
Always the bridesmaid and always willing
To take a leap into his arms
Emily if you’re so fine
How come the only love you ever had was mine?
Emily if you’re so smart
How come you aways wind up with a broken heart?

All I do is Dream of You
Music and lyrics by Andy Davis
I feel it when the day begins
And dawn cis slowly creeping in
When shadows fall across my room
They whisper that you’ll be here soon
I feel it in the midday sun
‘Specially when we’re having fun
No matter whether near or far
I close my eyes and there you are
And all I do is dream of you
It’s oh so true
All I do is dream of you
I feel it when the sun goes down
When blue of night is all around
There’ll always be a brand new star
Shining down on where you are
And even when we’re old and grey
Our love will never slip aways
The time we had will always be
The best thing in life for me
And all I do is dream of you
It’s oh so true
All I do is dream of you
And when the sandman comes
And when we’ve had our fun
When shadows fall across my room
They whisper that you’ll be here soon
And all I do is dream of you
It’s oh so true
All I do is dream of you

Marching Down The Road
Music and lyrics Andy Davis and Sarah Menage
Gather round all you children
There’s a message on the wire
Gotta drive out all no believers
Into brimstone and hellfire
I tried the milk of human kindness
But it tasted far too sweet
I Broke the bread and drank the wine
But it’s flesh and blood we need
Marching down that road again
Jesus is by my side
Marching in the name of love
Nobody’s left alive
Listen up you doves and doubters
Take a lesson from the meek
You’ll be blessed but you’ll be finished
If you turn the other cheek
Marching down that road again
Jesus is by my side
Marching in the name of love
Nobody’s left alive
I’m acquainted with the prophets
And I’m learned in God’s will
Come the day it’ll all be over
And my prophecy fulfilled
Marching down that road again
Jesus is by my side
Marching in the name of love
Nobody’s left alive

How Many Tears
Music and lyrics Andy Davis and Clare Lindley
You’ve got to take the chance you get
You can’t afford to lose it
Take a chance on what is right
Just don’t abuse it
You’ve done so many wrongs
You can’t make it right
Now it’s you turn to shiver
In the dead of the night
How many tears will you cry me?
How many times will you’re heart break?
How many roads will you walk along
Looking for some place where you belong?
Now that you’ve put yourself out there
Did you think that you’d be free?
You ask me when I might take you back again
When you’ve cried as many tears as me
Streams have washed the dirt away
Summer’s leaves are showing
Knowing you’ve ben through the mill
Really keeps me going
You’ve done so many wrongs
You can’t make it right
Now it’s you turn to shiver
In the dead of the night

Hothouse Party
Music and lyrics Andy Davis and Pete Brandt
Tonight we’re going to a hothouse party think I'll grow myself some wings.
And after midnight there's a girl that's waiting for her humming bird to sing.
Na na na na na na it's another country but that's another tale to tell.
Na na na na na na it's a road so bumpy to get to know each other well.
Curse that goddam train cos now I’ve missed my train.
I wanna see the sea cos that is where you’ll be.
We'd walk along the sand with a Sunday in your hand.
And we'd sing yeah yeah yeah yeah
Tonight we’re going to a hothouse party think I'll grow myself some wings.
And after midnight there's a boy that's waiting for his humming bird to sing.
If you were here tonight with stars all shining bright.
Would we rumba thru the night when the moon is shining bright?
Then we'd turn the lights down low and I'd wonder if you'll stay.
And you'd say no no no no
Tonight we’re going to a hothouse party think I'll grow myself some wings.
And after midnight there's a girl that's waiting for her humming bird to sing. .
Then well rumba thru the night when the moon is shining bright.
Then I think we'll kind of laugh what a lovely photograph.
I'd pick up on your light but turn the flame down low.
And you'd say no no no no
Tonight we’re going to a hothouse party think I'll grow myself some wings.
And after midnight there's a girl that's waiting for her humming bird to sing.
Na na na na na na it's another country but that's another tale to tell.
Na na na na na na it's a road so bumpy to get to know each other well.

The Airs Of Selivoe
Music and lyrics by Andy Davis and Pete Brandt
It's time to turn this boat around
Too many months of salt and wind
I long for solid ground
The turbot and the ling
Ensure our sustenance
They give us everything
Turn this craft and head for shore
We’ll ride the waves and see our women soon
In the place that's always home
The airs of Selivoe
I've missed her shawl of Shetland lace
But tomorrow I’ll be I'll be anchored
In my sweetheart's warm embrace
The autumn winds that blow
Are counting down the winter months
Till springtime comes
We'll take the North Atlantic coast
And sail away as far as we can go
Loved ones far behind
In the airs of Selivoe

Desire Lines
Music and lyrics Andy Davis and Sarah Menage
I’ve walked this path before
It wanders through the trees
Down to where the river bends
Sometimes I see you there
With sunlight in your eyes and
And summer on your lips again.
Your head on my shoulder
Fine dogwood in your hair
I know this road by by heart
I’ve followed every turn
Up the hill and back again
Where you kicked the clover down
Threw petals all around
And laughed me off my feet and then
Birds flocked together
White feathers on the ground
But where d’you run to?
And where d’you hide?
Are you still crazy in the summertime?
With your sweet loving and your
Heart a’fire
Lost in your desire lines
So shine on harvest sun
it’s yellow and it’s blue
It’s where I fell in love with you
You knew the stars by heart
You counted every one
What is there left to wish upon?
Love was forever
And old friends will never die

The third Sanctuary album is also the best of the trilogy. This one dares even more to expand the Oldfieldian style in new and exciting directions. It may be sacrilege to suggest it, but if this *were* a genuine Oldfield album, many might say it was one of his best, too. It's true that Rob Reed is standing on the shoulders of a giant, but he is a giant talent in his own right. Often the music brings tears to the eyes, as if it were the soundtrack to the climax of a hard-won cinematic story.
