Lyrics

Heathaze

[Verse 1]

No cloud, a sleepy calm

Sun-baked earth that's cooled by gentle breeze

And trees with rustling leaves

Only endless days without a care

Nothing must be done

[Verse 2]

Silent as a day can be

Far-off sounds of others on their chosen run

As they do all those things

They feel give life some meaning

Even if they're dull

[Pre-Chorus]

It's time to stop this dreaming

Must rejoin the real world

As revealed by orange lights

And a smoky atmosphere

[Chorus]

The trees and I are shaken by

The same wind but whereas

The trees will lose their withered leaves

And I just can't seem to let them loose

And they can't refresh me

Those hot winds of the south

Oh, I feel like an alien

A stranger in an alien place

[Verse 3]

Now the light is fading fast

Chances slip away, a time will come to pass

When there'll be none

Then addicted to a perfumed poison

Betrayed by its aftertaste

[Pre-Chorus]

Oh, we shall lose the wonder

And find nothing in return

Many are the substitutes

But they're powerless on their own

[Chorus]

Beware the fisherman

Who's casting out his line

Into a dried up river bed

But don't try to tell him 'cause he won't believe you

Throw some bread to the ducks instead

It's easier that way

I feel like an alien

A stranger in an alien place

[Chorus]

The trees and I are shaken by

The same wind but whereas

The trees will lose their withered leaves

I just can't seem to let them loose

And they can't refresh me

Those hot winds of the south

I feel like an alien

A stranger in an alien place

    How a country estate became Knebworth’s concert institution

    Successive generations of headliners made Knebworth famous. Its history also turns on giant screens, repeat bookings and the less glamorous business of clearing up between shows.
