lyrics
The sun's in your eyes
The cloud's in your head
Always alone with the bugs in your bed
You'd better wake up soon
You'd better wake up soon
Sleeper, you could be more than you are
'Cause nothing is wrong
Everything's fine
Around for ever on the circle line
'Till monkeys are authors there's not enough time
You'd better wake up soon
Sleeper, you could be more than you are
The cloud's in your head
Always alone with the bugs in your bed
You'd better wake up soon
You'd better wake up soon
Sleeper, you could be more than you are
'Cause nothing is wrong
Everything's fine
Around for ever on the circle line
'Till monkeys are authors there's not enough time
You'd better wake up soon
Sleeper, you could be more than you are

A Secret Wish is still an album I play to this day. It has never waned. I actually think it has got better with age. I'm not a fan generally of live recordings but this is one I love listening to. And Disziplin is on here too. Just as I remember it on The Tube. Who could ask for anything more? Just wish I would have been there but this is the next best thing. ❤

"A Journey Back" reminds me some of "Oil on Canvas" Japan's instrumentals, explorated to its own achievement and colors.
