INVISIBLE ENEMIES

 IN THE HEART OF THE BLACK COUNTRY  

          All Lyrics Written By John Harrison 

1. Europa Calling
Freedoms, from the old ancient texts they reveal,
When the spaceships descended, before man had the wheel,
Brought mortals to heel, then seeding began, from hybrid to man,
It's Europa calling it's how we began.

And steering, all the answers lie deep in the blood,
The transitions now nearing, making way for the flood,
Cycle for good, like seeds in a pod, to who is your God,
It's Europa calling out of the sun.

When we pray at our saviours request, from east to the west,
The ultimate test,
When we have all this love held inside, to give or walk blind,
Live it or hide,
It's Europa calling out of the skies.

When the future interpretates I'm a dimensional sign,
To travel in time,
Here translating the code I receive, on computerised screens, relived in a dream,
It's Europa calling, calling to me,
It's Europa calling, land of the sea,
It's Europa calling, a new world is dawning.

2. Mercury Rising
I'm sitting here in reflection, my heart it beats at a pace,
I'm waiting for the injection to fire us into space,

And now the time has approached us, for me to say goodbye,
I think of you and I'm hoping we're going to be alright,

With the journey there that's ahead of me,
Lies the truth I know that could set us free,

And now the time has come, to reach out to the skies,
The challenge never ends, a hope for all mankind,
A new red dawn descends, when we inherit,
With Mercury rising, the Earth is declining, and Mars is in sight.

This quest we are on is as sacred, of any Gods of the past,
A world where gone is the hatred, to build a peace at last.

In my heart and mind you are here with me,
Every breath I take it is you I see.

But now the time has come, to reach out to the skies,
The challenge never ends, a hope for all mankind,
A new red dawn ascends, when we inhabit,
With Mercury rising, the Earth now aligning, and Mars is in sight.

3. Hearts On Fire
And when I saw you in Chicago's, yeh your style was vogue,
And how you drank your avocado's, yeh your class it showed.

Then you got me going there's no way of knowing,
You make me crazy when my blood started flowing,
Was out to get you I did respect you,
But underneath you're just a wild woman hot for desire,
My heart's on fire.

And when you made out on the dance floor, well I made my move,
The way you move it made the crowd roar, straight into the groove.

Then you got me going there's no way of knowing,
You make me crazy when my blood started flowing,
Was out to get you I did respect you,
But underneath you're just a wild woman hot for desire,
My heart's on fire.

Now you've got me going now I know you know it,
I make you crazy when your blood starts flowing,
The way I tease you, the way I please you,
You understand I'm just a wild man that's hot for desire,
Your heart's on fire

4. Let Me Be The One
I'm a slave I am, what you fail to see,
 What this Hell it does to me, and the misery,

I am down not out, I will never hide,
All the fight I have inside, it's my English pride,

Let me be the one to make a stand,
And I will see the day, reach another height,
Let me be the one give it a hand, I will pave the way,
When I win the fight outright,

For I can't stop and forsake, feeling this way, day after day,
When I lie wide awake, reliving the days, of yesterdays ways,
Now I just live the day.

5. Dance This
 Come on let's shake it up,

Sunshine good time how about it can you do it like this,
Well life is just a game now it's the time to play can you do,
Dance this.

Come down get close if you want to live,
Come take this chance if you want to give,

It feels so strong, we can't go wrong,

Sunshine good time how about it can you do it like this,
Well life is just a game now it's the time to play can you do,
Dance this.

Just step this way if you want it good,
One step my way to a better love.

It's not too late, anticipate,

Sunshine good time how about it can you do it like this,
Well life is just a game now it's the time to play can you do,
Dance this.

Whenever you're down don't cry, learn to strive, feel alive,

Sunshine good time how about it can you do it like this,
Well life is just a game now it's the time to play can you do,
Dance this.

It feels so strong, we can't go wrong,

Sunshine good time how about it can you do it like this,
Well life is just a game now it's the time to play can you do,
Dance this.

Sunshine good time can you do it like this,
Sunshine love sign can you do it dance this.

 6. Club Of St George 
 Now here we go again, Japan/Korea the greatest game,
 We are aiming for the Jules Rimet,
That hand of god provoked, in 86 which hurt us most,
We are ready now to lay that ghost.

The bulldog breed, the grit you need, to keep us marching on,
With Sven in charge, support so large, then we can make it.

And now the time has come, the whistle's gone it's now begun,
Emotions here are overrun,
Our glory boys are here, they are finely tuned and set in gear,
Now could this be our biggest year.

We're patriots, live every kick, it keeps us marching on,
So let's unite, in red and white, then we can make it.

And we'll be right here singing, we'll be right here bringing,
We salute you, the club of St George stands for England,
And we'll be right here singing, we'll be right here bringing,
We salute you, the flag of St George flies for England,
So come on boys cos we can conquer all.

The three lions on our shirts, to lose at all it always hurts,
But passion is our biggest cert,
That fist of gold it stands, now held aloft in Beckham's hands,
The dream of every English fan.

It's all for one and one for all, it keeps us marching on,
So let's unite in red and white, then we can make it.

7. Totally Schizoid
 As night turns to day, like acid turns to rain,
These signals filter through, with altered moods again,
This DNA is stirred, this body clock remains,
Then jumping through the flames.

Rock, shots, life's a freeway, I'm the driver I control these reins,
Rock, scotch, this is my way,
And at times I should be bound in chains.

These patterns mean I see, it may not be for you,
The watchers work through me, the dross you put me through,
This melody of life, creators making do,
It's either me or you.

Rock, shots, life's a freeway, I'm the driver I control these reins,
Rock, scotch, this is my way,
Where's the grebos with their daisy chains.

You wanna be my lover girl, I'm totally schizoid,
Don't have to be a covergirl, I'm totally schizoid,
I'm living in another world, I'm totally schizoid.

And how, and when the stars turn blue, the satallites that hover the moon,
And now, in parallels we live, the stones of fire to give,
Heading for us soon.

Rock, shots, life's a freeway, I'm the driver and I head this game,
Rock, scotch, this is my way,
I've no doubt that you'll remember my name.

Can't ever be a normal guy, I'm totally schizoid,
A bitter kiss, a sweet goodbye, I'm totally schizoid,
At times it's hard to live a lie, I'm totally schizoid,

Rock, scotch, where's the DJ,
You'd better move it and play this song.

Rock, scotch, hear it my way,
Shove your vanity and sing along.

8. Goodbye
 Whenever I look back, the things you did for me surpassed,
More than I had ever asked,
A look into your eyes, the vision always makes me cry,
To know I have to say goodbye,
And from this day it's this I say.

Wherever you may go, I know that you will always know,
That I always loved you so,
Whatever you may do, the things I taught will see you through,
In all that is deserved for you,
In you I see much honesty, In me you see what you want to see.

There just can't be no other way, to say goodbye to you will destroy me,
When you come back to me someday, to say goodbye to you will be easy, believe me.

If you ask me why we can't go on, you deserve a better life alone,

There just can't be no other way, to say goodbye to you will destroy me,
When you come back to me someday, to say goodbye to you will be easy, appease me.

9. Gonna Get You In The End
 I think you really knew, that I would get you in the end,
I'm gonna get you.

When I saw you walking by, the sun it shined in my x-ray eyes,
And then your shadow it cast out a greeting,
I couldn't pass up on a meeting,
Your beauty it was such it blew my mind.

I think you really knew, that I would get you in the end,
I'm gonna get you.

And then, strutting like a hen, I said hello would you like to go,
Now for a ride or a walk makes no difference,
A hike or a talk as a reference,
And by the way you looked at me I felt.

I think you really knew, that I would get you in the end,
I'm gonna get you.

I wouldn't need another love, it's just the want it keeps me up,
I can't remember when the last time I surrendered.

And as the sunset it rose in the morning,
You looked in my eyes so adoring,
A summer love we couldn't get enough.

I think you really knew, that I would get you in the end.

10. Fight For Your Rights
 The green and pleasant lands here in the British Isles,
The work of ancient hands stretching for miles and miles,
The city's took to the gun because they never learn,
The peoples given a chance now ready to turn.

So fight for your rights, fight for your rights.

Changing times are here in the countryside,
Descendants of the past buried side by side,
Showing us no respect dividing us all,
You can't change our beliefs united we fall.

So fight for your rights, fight for your rights.

Come on and stand along with me, reaching for the heights,
Tradition our whole means to be, fight for your rights.

A Europe run by who is it a superstate,
A knife to run us through be ready anticipate,
A call to arms that I hear it will be heard,
Our people knowing no fear will never run scared.

So fight for your rights, fight for your rights.

Come on and stand along with me, reaching for the heights,
Tradition our whole means to be, fight for your rights.

Fight for your rights.

11. Just Wanna Be Loved
 English rose that I hold so dear,
She is my love my life my hope my fear,
I will defend you 'till the end there's no doubt,
Your beauty the essence of your love that shines out.

There's nowhere to run there's nowhere to hide,
To me you can come in me to confide.

I just wanna be loved, just like you do,
I just wanna be loved, just like you.

Look around for yourself and see,
Now do you want what's second best or me,
 Your desire is like your faith it can't die,
My word is my sword and like the sea can't run dry.

There's nowhere to run there's nowhere to hide,
To me you can come in me to confide.

I just wanna be loved, just like you do,
I just wanna be loved, just like you.

Beside it all no matter what they say,
Your heart is with me no matter what you say,
The world is ours and that they can't deny,
You're always with me, you will never need the word goodbye.

There's nowhere to run there's nowhere to hide,
To me you can come in me to confide.

I just wanna be loved, just like you do,
I just wanna be loved, just like you.

12. I Could Never Love You
 Now that you've gone, it's a feeling that's hard for me,
To belong and it ain't meant to be,
How I tried, with this love I have inside it ain't died,
But my reasons why.

I could never love you, the way you want me to,
I could never love you, the way I wanted to.

Ask me again on a sunny day,
When the hurt has all but gone away,
Remember our yesterdays, when everything was new.

Time goes by, life goes on and still you cry,
When you know the reasons why I need you on my side,
That is why.

I could never love you, the way you want me to,
I could never love you, the way I wanted to.

13. Fly The Flag
 Right from the start there is no doubting,
We've got the Saxon, Dane and Jute here remaining,
You can't divide our foundation,
And now to tear apart the very heart of the nation.

We'll fly the flag, we'll fly the flag, you fly your flag.

Just like a rock you can't move it,
And you can strike cut deep my friend and I'll prove it,
We'll take the knocks take it easy,
But be God damn sure the day the day you deceive me,

We'll fly the flag, we'll fly the flag, you fly your flag.

Patriotic and tribal art, what new nation and what new start,
You can't change what or who we are,
United front, view by far.

Just like a shot can you hear it,
Or are you blinded by the truth and won't believe it,
Ain't got a lot but what I have is,
A sense of who the hell I am, I reveal it.

We'll fly the flag, we'll fly the flag, you fly your flag,
You are your flag.

WADNESBERIE TOWN D-B

From the Angles and the Danes,

The Romans fled and the Normans led the raid into arable land,

And where the wolf and the bear were hunted everywhere.

They heard the roar Woden god of war its Odins call they hear,

Night and day watched the sun go down on Wadnesberie Town.

On the hill lay a fort,

The Saxons built back two thousand years or more now the churches stand tall,

And from that hill look across and see the castle walls.

This market town from farming it has grown the chains have gone its strength lives on,

As I watch the sun go down on Wadnesberie Town.

And from the crier to the clock that watches time and change,

To this last old great historic town,

When I reflect on what has gone before in Wadnesberie Town,

I love it all the more.

IN THE HEART OF THE BLACK COUNTRY

Look around for yourself and see,

Revered are the crafts and skills of past industry,

And in its place this digital age one touch away,

To computerized screens and global machines that rules the day,

Where ever you go what ever you do you will know,

The roots you have sown will flourish and grow.

So smile, you are living in the heart of the Black Country now,

While, you are the very heart of the Black Country.

Travel around with your folk and glee,

Down from the Lye to Rowley Hills you will see,

Our culture stays what ever the change it may bring,

We do as we do we say who we are we sing what we sing.

Where ever you go what ever you do you will know,

The roots you have sown will flourish and grow.

So smile, you are living in the heart of the Black Country now,

While, you are the very heart of the Black Country.

Despite it all no matter what they say,

Our pride will remain until our dying day,

Your cradle’s here your tombstone is your bed,

So know of your past and know you are Black Country born and bred.

Day after day just one step away.

Where ever we go what ever we do we will know,

The roots we have sown will flourish and grow

So smile, we are living in the heart of the Black Country now,

While, we are the very heart of the Black Country,

Smile, we are living in the heart of the Black Country now,

While, we are the very heart of the Black Country.

BLACK COUNTRY FOLK

Back in the woods in our Black Country lands, where the Angles and Saxons and clans,

Built a culture in Mercian hands where our landmarks and myths still stand.

Now how ya bin how ya doin I hear from the Northmen our dialects clear,

We were pagan till Augustine came here which our ancestral folk adhered.

Raise up your glass cos we are proud English folk,

Pure working class who toiled through the smog who worked through the smoke.

Now from the dawn of the Industrial age where the chains and the nails here we made,

Steel and coal our foundations were laid where our Black Country name it remains.

Down in the taverns the ale it would flow staff on lead at the cock fighting show,

Like today we aint changed don’t ya know we are Black Country folk aint that so.

Raise up your glass cos we are proud English folk,

Pure working class who toiled through the smog who worked through the smoke.

Singing Black Country folk brothers and sisters we give to our culture we live,

Black Country folk with our traditions ingrained in our souls it remains forever.

WALK MY WAY (JOHN WESLEY - 1703 - 1791)

Father, when you saved and taught me how back in the fens where it all began,

Just walk my way let me spread the word to all of the Christ the Church and you,

With this message I bring we can build a future of love,

With the psalms that we sing stop your hate and turn it to good,

This methodist mission a vision I had congregations are all that I have,

Walk my way and pray.

Accept me, I fear you are like colts untamed though the bridal it lies in your mouth,

Just walk my way my conviction cannot be shamed but its all down to you,

With this message I bring we will unite the people for good,

With the psalms that we sing stop your fight and spilling of blood,

This methodist mission a vision I had congregations are all that I have,

Walk my way today.

With this message I bring we can build a future of love,

With the psalms that we sing stop your hate and turn it to good,

This methodist mission a vision I had congregations are all that I have,

Walk my way today.
