Guests include Randy Crawford, Richie Havens, Steve Walsh and Chester Thompson. "I wanted to get the most diverse and eclectic tracks that I could together on one album; a style mix between a European, structured approach to rock and a spartan Black American sound."

Hackett's first post-Genesis album features Richie Havens and Chester Thompson.

Narnia

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 charms
She's easily annoyed
What's that sound, you turn around
There just happen to be bells
And reindeers 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

Yes I'm certain that you
Will influence the rest
She could turn you to stone
You're suitably impressed
And so easily led
Ther just happen to be repercussions
Months ahead


Carry on up the Vicarage

....Body was found at the vicarage quarter past nine.....
....People die from sudden strokes all the time.....
....Verdict of misadventure mending the roof.....
....The doctors niece, whilst tending the rosehedge.....
....Stung to death by a swarm of bees.....

...."My wife's cooking is out of this world take a bite".....
....Died from some rare tropical disease in the night.....
....Dab hand a pharmaceuticals, still no one guessed.....
....The village vet was drowned in the pigswill
    You wonder whose turn will be next

    "In the world of sinners all are condemned
    My son this gun's loaded"
    (A missing floorboard) then screaming from the belfry he fell


Racing in A

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

taking a friend
I know that I can share
another day in the warm country air


Kim

(Instrumental)


How Can I?

The local radio says sorry time to go
But, I don't sleep to well.  Where are those Southern Belles

Tryn a' get a telephone line through South Caroline
Your call may bring somebody down from miles around
I'm watching her eyes again.  I won't use no fountain pen.

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

Ther 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
Hoping love will last
I'm hoping love will last 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 -
hoping love will last
Yes I'm hoping love will last on and on

How can I go on alone 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, so take good care
I only wait for the moments we both can share
hoping love will last
Yes I'm hoping love will last on and on


Land of a Thousand Autumns

(Instrumental)


Please Don't Touch

(Instrumental)


The Voice of Necam

(Instrumental)


Icarus Ascending

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 childrens joys remain in tune

The same light shins on vineyards
That makes deserts its true
What awaits me if I follow you

All that's behind me
And I flew this time
Never falling
Since your eyes first touched mine
