Stereophonic Album Lyrics

Brightv1

(Original Cast of Stereophonic)

Sunday morning and the light is fine
In the beating of a bird's wing, I come alive

I was dreaming of a love song, but what good is love when the wind starts blowing?
Nothing forgotten, nothing forgiven when the night comes to an end

Like the bird on the windowsill, I tremble through the passing shadow
Close my eyes and count to ten until

I'm in the bright light, forgetting my name
The shadow of our lives, familiar but strange
Without enough darkness left to hide all the pain
I'm in the bright light again

Seven Roads

(Original Cast of Stereophonic)

Seven roads
I walked alone
Seven skies
To guide me home
Seven tears I counted in your eyes
When I told you all my seven lies

When you're near
I can't breathe
When you're far
I don't believe

Seven roads I had to journey through
And they always led me back to you
My love, oh, my love

Seven prayers
I never said
Seven stitches
We're the thread
Seven roads I had to journey through
And they always led me back to you
My love, oh, my love

I'm standing here before you
And I'm holding out my hand
Oh, you don't have to take it
It's been so long, either way I understand

Seven prayers
I never said
Seven stitches
We're the thread
Seven roads I had to journey through
And they always led me back to you
My love, oh, my love

Oh, my love
(My love)
Oh, my love
Oh, my love

Great, that's great, let's just do it two more times
That's great

I love singing to you, Tom

Same

Are you lying?

No, I'm not lying
I have a na- I just have a natural ironic cadence

Same

Masquerade

(Original Cast of Stereophonic)

Got my ticket to the masquerade
Sold this soul, and the money paid
The road is long and damned
The world is full of sins
Grab my gun and I'm on my way

I'll see you when I get there
I'm gonna see you when I get there
I'll see you when I get there
I'm gonna see you when I get there
I'll see you when I get there
I'm gonna see you when I get there
I'll see you when I get there
I'm gonna see you when I get there

We still got it (still got it)
We still got it
We got it
Yeah
Yeah

Bright (Fast)

(Original Cast of Stereophonic)

Sunday morning
And the light is fine
In the beating of a bird's wing
I come alive

I was dreaming of a love song
But what good is love
When the wind starts blowing
Nothing forgotten
Nothing forgiven
When the night comes to an end

Like the bird on the windowsill
I tremble
Through the passing shadow
Close my eyes and count to ten
Until

I'm in the bright light
Forgetting my name
The shadow of our lives
Familiar but strange
Without enough darkness left to
Hide all the pain

I'm in the bright light again

Drive

(Original Cast of Stereophonic)

Baby wakes you in the morning
Never keeps you up at night
Whatever diamonds you've been hiding
Afraid they'll cheapen in the light

Outside when winds are blowing
(Ooh)
And the stars are trying to shine
(Ooh)
In a call you can't afford
(Ooh)
You just drive and drive and drive

I feel it once again
(I feel it once again)
Love waiting in the wind
(Love waiting in the wind)
Beyond the next horizon
The sun is almost rising

I can't tell you I am sorry
For saying things I never said
(Ooh)
All this world is made for sorrow
(Ooh)
Or is it only in my head

I feel it once again
(I feel it once again)
Love waiting in the wind
(Love waiting in the wind)
Beyond the next horizon
The sun is almost rising

We move through moonlight
People are saying
You'll only break my heart
(And it breaks)
They're not mistaken
What if it's already broken

I feel it once again
(I feel it once again)
Love waiting in the wind
(Love waiting in the wind)
Beyond the next horizon
The sun is almost rising

The sun is almost rising

(Ooh)
You gotta keep on rising
(Ooh)
You gotta keep on rising
You gotta keep on rising
(Ooh)
You gotta keep on rising
You gotta keep on rising
(Ooh)
You gotta keep on rising
You gotta keep on rising
(Ooh)
You gotta keep on rising
You gotta keep on rising

Champagne

(Original Cast of Stereophonic)

The stars
How they rise
Like a glass of champagne
Held before your eyes
The stars
How they fall
Like a glass of champagne
Thrown against the wall

Ooh, la-da-di-da
La-da-di-da
La-da-di-da
La-da-di-da
La-da-di-da
La-da-di-da
La-da-di-da
La-da-di-da

You better watch out, you better watch out
Ooh, you better watch out, you better watch out
Ooh, you better watch out, you better watch out
Ooh, you better watch out, you better watch out

East of Eden

(Original Cast of Stereophonic)

To the east of Eden
Flowers in my hair
Stumble from the garden
I didn't even care

Why are you still confused when
Kindness is calling after you
Why do we have to choose when
Everything you got is right in front of you

Mountains in the distance
Pebbles in your hand
Standin' in the open
I didn't understand

Oh, why are you still confused when
Kindness is calling after you
Why do we have to choose when
Everything you got is right in front of you

Animal illusions
Call it what you will
Can you feel the earth turn, 'cause I feel
I feel it
Oh, I feel it now

Why do you still refuse me
Kindness is calling out to you
Why do we have to choose when
Everything you got is right in front of you

(Ooh)

Long past midnight
At the drunken water's edge
I was trying to show you something
I didn't stand this in the darkness there, oh

To the east of Eden
Flowers in my hair
Stumble from the garden
I didn't even care

Oh, why do you still refuse me
Kindness is crawling after you
Why do we have to choose when
Everything you got is right in front of you

Domino

(Original Cast of Stereophonic)

When the dominoes fall, gonna lay me down
There ain't nothing at all that can bare the sound

I've been waiting on just one touch
Just a little breath, baby, that's enough
Somebody told me I feel too much
But it feels alright to me

Oh, when the dominoes fall, when they hit the ground
There ain't nothing at all that can bear the sound

I'm just watching the bottles spin
Wondering when you're back again
Wondering when that wildest dream
Is gonna wind on back to me

When the dominoes fall, when they hit the ground
There ain't nothing at all that can bear the sound

Midnights
No time
Your heart beside mine
Midnight
No time
Your heart beside mine

I've been waiting on just one touch
Just a little breath, baby, that's enough
Somebody told me I feel too much
But it feels alright to me

When the dominoes fall, gonna lay me down
There ain't nothing at all~

It's made of teak

(Original Cast of Stereophonic)

Did you get these for Christmas?

My brother got it for me

For Christmas? Lovely

It's made of teak
It's made of teak?

That sounds

That sounds like shit
That sounds like shit

Well, that sounds like shit
Well, failed experiment

Why isn't Domino on the album?
We tried so many times with that song

Didn't we cut it?
Don't we cut it by the end?

None of the songs make it

There's no songs on the album, it's very experimental

In Your Arms

(Original Cast of Stereophonic)

One, two, three, four

I was a girl with a
Braid in her hair
You were the one we took
Down to despair

You said
"Come here
You got nothing to fear"
So I laid in your arms

It was midnight with the wind from the west
You counted all the flowers on my dress
You were laughing at the stars in the sky
And I asked you why
As I laid in your arms

Your arms
I feel alright
Your arms
Against the cold of the night
There's no hope
In letting my mind
Drift back to the time
When I laid in your arms

You can tell me that you love someone else
You can tell me I'm not kiddin' myself
But we were laughing, you and I
As we stared up at the sky
And I lay in your arms

Your arms
I feel alright
In your arms
Against the cold of the night
There's no hope
In letting my mind
Drift back to the time
When I laid in your arms

Ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah

In your arms
I feel alright
In your arms
Against the cold of the night
There's no hope
In letting my mind
Drift back to the time
When I lay in your arms
In your arms
I feel alright
In your arms
Against the cold of the night
There's no hope
In letting my mind
Drift back to the time
When I lay in your arms

(Original Cast of Stereophonic)

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Oh just call me when
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Oh just call me when
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Oh just call me when

It's time to start again, again

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Oh just call me when

(It's time, it's time)

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Exorcist II

(Original Cast of Stereophonic)

Oh, man, did you see Exorcist

Yeah, it scared the shit out of me

It scared the shit out of you, right

I took my ex-girlfriend to see it and she got so mad, she like, walked out

It's f*ckin' scary

Yeah

Alright, ready?
Yep

So what's Exorcist II

It's the continuing story, man
Once you get possessed, it's, like, a whole long thing

One more time?
The timing was off

Did you see they're making Exorcist II

Oh, man, did you see Exorcist

Yeah, it scared the shit out of me

It scared the shit out of you, right

I took my ex-girlfriend to see it and she got so mad, she like, walked out

It's f*ckin' scary

(Di-uh, working on that cue, we're gonna do that one more time, please)

Campfire Masquerade

(Original Cast of Stereophonic)

Got my ticket to the masquerade
Sold this soul, and the money paid
The road is long and damned
The world is full of sins
Grab my gun and I'm on my way

I'm gonna see you when I get there
I'll see you when I get there
I'm gonna see you when I get there
I'll see you when I get there
I'm gonna see you when I get there
I'll see you when I get there
I'm gonna see you when I get there

We still got it
We got it
Yeah

Bright (Take 22)

(Original Cast of Stereophonic)

Sunday morning
And the light is fine
In the beating of a bird's wing
I come alive

I was dreaming of a love song
But what good is love
When the wind starts blowing
Nothing forgotten
Nothing forgiven
When the night comes to an end

Like the bird on the windowsill
I tremble
Through the passing shadow
Close my eyes and count to ten
Until

I'm in the bright light
Forgetting my name
The shadow of our lives
Familiar but strange
Without enough darkness left to
Hide all the pain

I'm in the bright light again
