Rush - Cinderella Man Lyrics

Rush - Cinderella Man Video

A modest man from Mandrake

Travelled rich to the city

He had a need to discover

A use for his newly found wealth

 

Because he was human

Because he had goodness

Because he was moral

They called him insane

 

Delusions of grandeur

Visions of splendour

A manic depressive

He walks in the rain

 

Eyes wide open

Heart undefended

Innocence untarnished

 

Cinderella Man, doing what you can

They can't understand what it means

Cinderella Man, hang on to your plans

Try as they might they cannot steal your dreams, whoa

 

In the betrayal of his love he awakened

To face a world of cold reality

And a look in the eyes of the hungry

Awakened him to what he could do

 

He held up his riches to challenge the hungry

Purposeful motion for one so insane

They tried to fight him, just couldn't beat him

This manic depressive who walks in the rain

 

Cinderella Man, doing what you can

They can't understand what it means

Cinderella Man, hang on to your plans

Try as they might they cannot steal your dreams

Rush - Bravado Lyrics

Rush - Bravado Video

If we burn our wings

Flying too close to the sun

If the moment of glory

Is over before it's begun

If the dream is won

Though everything is lost

We will pay the price

But we will not count the cost

We will pay the price

But we will not count the cost

 

When the dust has cleared

And victory denied

A summit too lofty

River a little too wide

If we keep our pride

Though paradise is lost

We will pay the price

But we will not count the cost

We will pay the price

But we will not count the cost

Oh, oh

 

And if the music stops

There's only the sound of the rain

All the hope and glory

All the sacrifice in vain

And if love remains

Though everything is lost

We will pay the price

But we will not count the cost

We will pay the price

But we will not count the cost

 

And if love remains

Though everything is lost

We will pay the price

But we will not count the cost

And if love remains

Though everything is lost

We will pay the price

But we will not count the cost

And if love remains

Rush - Madrigal Lyrics

Rush - Madrigal Video

When the dragons grow too mighty

To slay with pen or sword

I grow weary of the battle

And the storm I walk toward

When all around is madness

And there's no safe port in view

I long to turn my path homeward

To stop a while with you

 

When life becomes as barren

And as cold as winter skies

There's a beacon in the darkness

In a distant pair of eyes

In vain to search for honour

And in vain to search for truth

But these things can still be given

Your love has shown me proof

Rush - The Big Money Lyrics

Rush - The Big Money Video

Big money goes around the world

Big money underground

Big money got a mighty voice

Big money make no sound

 

Big money pull a million strings

Big money hold the prize

Big money weave a mighty web

Big money draw the flies

 

Sometimes pushing people around

Sometimes pulling out the rug

Sometimes pushing all the buttons

Sometimes pulling out the plug

 

It's the power and the glory

It's a war in paradise

A cinderella story

On a tumble of the dice

 

Big money goes around the world

Big money take a cruise

Big money leave a mighty wake

Big money leave a bruise

 

Big money make a million dreams

Big money spin big deals

Big money make a mighty head

Big money spin big wheels

 

Sometimes building ivory towers

Sometimes knocking castles down

Sometimes building you a stairway

Lock you underground

 

It's that old time religion

It's the kingdom they would rule

It's the fool on television

Getting paid to play the fool

 

It's the power and the glory

It's a war in paradise

A cinderella story

On a tumble of the dice

 

Big money goes around the world

Big money give and take

Big money done a power of good

Big money make mistakes

 

Big money got a heavy hand

Big money take control

Big money got a mean streak

Big money got no soul

Rush - Nobody's Hero Lyrics

Rush - Nobody's Hero Video

I knew he was different in his sexuality

I went to his parties as a straight minority

It never seemed a threat to my masculinity

He only introduced me to a wider reality

 

As the years went by, we drifted apart

When I heard that he was gone, I felt a shadow cross my heart

But he's nobody's -

 

Hero saves a drowning child

Cures a wasting disease

Hero lands the crippled airplane

Solves great mysteries

 

Hero not the handsome actor

Who plays a hero's role

Hero not the glamor girl

Who'd love to sell her soul

If anybody's buying

Nobody's hero

 

I didn't know the girl, but I knew her family

All their lives were shattered

In a nightmare of brutality

They tried to carry on, tried to bear the agony

Try to hold some faith in the goodness of humanity

 

As the years went by, we drifted apart

When I heard that she was gone, I felt a shadow cross my heart

But she's nobody's

 

Hero is the voice of reason

Against the howling mob

Hero is the pride of purpose

In the unrewarding job

 

Hero not the champion player

Who plays the perfect game

Hero not the glamor boy

Who loves to sell his name

Everybody's buying

Nobody's hero

 

As the years went by, we drifted apart

When I heard that you were gone, I felt a shadow cross my heart

But he's nobody's

 

Hero saves a drowning child

Cures a wasting disease

Hero lands the crippled airplane

Solves great mysteries

 

Hero not the handsome actor

Who plays a hero's role

Hero not the glamor girl

Who'd love to sell her soul

If anybody's buying

Nobody's hero

 

Nobody's hero

Hero

Nobody's hero

Hero
