1 I ROBOT The Alan Parsons Project All lyrics by Eric Woolfson & Alan Parsons Woolfsongs Ltd / Careers Music, Inc. I ROBOT (Instrumental) I WOULDN T WANT TO BE LIKE YOU If I had a mind to I wouldn t want to think like you And if I had time to I wouldn t want to talk to you If I was high class I wouldn t need a buck to pass And if I was a fall guy I wouldn t need no alibi Back on the bottom line Diggin for a lousy dime If I hit a mother lode I d cover anything that showed I wouldn t wanna 1

2 SOME OTHER TIME In a matter of a moment Lost till the end of time It s the evening of another day And the end of mine Now the starlight which has found me Lost for a million years Tries to linger as it fills my eyes Till it disappears Could it be that somebody else is Looking into my mind Like a mirror held before me Large as the sky is wide And the image is reflected Back to the other side Could it be that somebody else is Looking into my mind 2

3 BREAKDOWN I breakdown in the middle and lose my thread No one can understand a word that I say When I breakdown just a little and lose my head Nothing I try to do can work the same way Any time it happened I d get over it With a little help from all my friends Anybody else could see what s wrong with me But they walk away and just pretend When I breakdown I breakdown in the middle and lose my thread No one can understand a word that I say When I breakdown just a little and lose my head Nothing I try to do can work the same way Where are all the friends who used to talk to me All they ever told me was good news People that I ve never seen are kind to me Is it any wonder I m confused When I breakdown, when I breakdown Freedom, freedom, we will not obey Freedom, freedom, take the wall away (take the wall away) Freedom, freedom, we will not obey Freedom, freedom, take them all away (where are all of my friends) Freedom, freedom, we will not obey (I'm so confused) Freedom, freedom, take the wall away (take the wall away) Freedom, freedom, we will not obey (take the wall away) Freedom, freedom, take them all away Freedom, freedom, we will not obey (won't somebody hear me?) 3

4 DON T LET IT SHOW If it s getting harder to face every day Don t let it show, don t let it show Though it s getting harder to take what they say Just let it go, just let it go And if it hurts when they mention my name Say you don t know me And if it helps when they say I m to blame Say you don t own me Even if it s taking the easy way out Keep it inside of you Don t give in Don t tell them anything Don t let it Don t let it show Even though you know it s the wrong thing to say Say you don t care, say you don t care Even if you want to believe there s a way I won t be there, I won t be there But if you smile when they mention my name They ll never know you And if you laugh when they say I m to blame They ll never own you Even if you feel you ve got nothing to hide Keep it inside of you Don t give in Don t tell them anything Don t let it Don t let it show 4

5 THE VOICE It s almost a feeling you can touch in the air You look all around you but nobody s there It s been a long time now since you ve been aware That someone is watching you (he s gonna get you) Sooner or later when your big chances come You ll look for the catches but there will be none Remember before you grab the money and run That someone is watching you (he s gonna get you) Before you run and hide He s gonna get you You got no choice Because you can t escape the voice Jumping at shadows that come up from behind Scared of the darkness that s there in your mind You re frightened to move because of what you might find That Someone is watching you (he s gonna get you) Before you run and hide He s gonna get you You got no choice Because you can t escape the voice NUCLEUS (Instrumental) DAY AFTER DAY (THE SHOW MUST GO ON) Gaze at the sky And picture a memory Of days in your life You knew what it meant to be happy and free Remember your daddy When no one was wiser Your ma used to say That you would go further than he ever could 5

6 Think of a boy with the stars in his eye Longing to reach them but frightened to try Sadly, you d say, someday, someday But day after day The show must go on And time slipped away Before you could build any castles in Spain The chance had gone by With nothing to say And no one to say it to Nothing has changed You ve still got it all to do, surely you know The chance has gone by Think of a boy with the stars in his eye Longing to reach them but frightened to try Sadly, you d say, someday, someday But, day after day The show must go on And you gaze at the sky And picture a memory of days in your life (Day after day the show must go on) (Day after day the show must go on) TOTAL ECLIPSE (Instrumental) GENESIS CH.1 V.32 (Instrumental) 6
