Ragnarok & Roll Look at all the terror on the face of all the people in the hall Make the clock run backwards or there won't be anybody left at all Terrified the planets are in line Terrified they're running out of time Oh no - its Ragnarok & Roll Its coming down to eat your soul Oh no - its Ragnarok & Roll Its come to take away your soul Ring the bell for one last time and drain your glass and then put out the light When the clock rolls over pull the shutters down and wish us all goodnight Sit and watch the planes fall out the sky Curl up tight and kiss your ass goodbye Oh no - its Ragnarok & Roll Its coming down to eat your soul Oh no - its Ragnarok & Roll Its come to take away your soul

Another Lovesong It's a sad cold world Under my window, in the dark outside There's a voice in me Fighting the silence of a lonely night There's a name inside my head - crying for freedom A song made of the things we said Burning my heart But I won't sing another lovesong till you're back with me No I won't sing another lovesong till you're back with me I'll send my thoughts out there Follow your shadow to the place you hide There's a place for us Over the skyline in a better time There's a name inside my head - crying for freedom A song made of the things we said Burning my heart But I won't sing another lovesong till you're back with me No I won't sing another lovesong till you're back with me

Science Fiction Albert and Nils see what Nature reveals While God rolls the bones, plays some tricks of his own Wherever they look He slips things in to see They can't even make their delusions agree Werner and Paul made some sense of it all The web that they weave made God laugh up his sleeve The rule that they found was all too bizarre When they know where they're going - they don't know where they are If it didn't shock you - if it didn't shock you You didn't understand If it didn't shock you - if it didn't shock you You didn't understand Nothing lies like proof Nothing strange as truth Like science fiction There's no certainty like probability Like science fiction Nothing is real

Forever and a Day Can you feel the heartache - can you feel it tearing us apart I want to feel you by my side tonight Is the fire still burning - let me in to show you how I feel I want to feel you in my arms all night One kiss and I feel your heartbeat One smile and I know you still love me One look and I know you need me One touch and I know we'll be this way Forever and a day From the day we started I knew that we were meant to be Now you've become a part of me for life I really need you by me - when I drift you're there to guide me home You're the breeze that carries me along the road One kiss and I feel your heartbeat One smile and I know you still love me One look and I know you need me One touch and I know we'll be this way Forever and a day

I Don't Want No-one Else The day seeps in - like the water creeping into my shoe The light congeals - and every step's a little further from you But don't worry babe, I'm gonna be OK I've got a sweetheart kiss to keep me warm all day from you Don't worry baby I'll be good as gold I'm alright cos I got you in my soul You better believe me baby you've been told I don't want no-one else - I'd rather be Be all by myself I don't want no-one else Now I've got you I don't need no-one else The day creeps in - like I'll be creeping in your front door soon The night subsides - and every step's a little closer to you But don't worry baby I've been feeling fine I've been so far away but I've been there in my mind with you Don't worry babe, I'm coming right on home I'm gonna stay with you there where I can get you alone You better believe it baby you've been told I don't want no-one else - I'd rather be Be all by myself I don't want no-one else Now I've got you I don't need no-one else

Dark Day 04:44
Dark Day You will know - when it is time (to watch the sky) You will know - in your mind (you wonder why) Strangest feelings - go to pieces Midday twilight - colours fade to grey Dark falls on an August day You feel the fear coming on Reason is torn away As the dragon bites at the sun Now it's time - now it's time (the hour has come) Now it's time - dark is here, the sun has gone

Right Place, Wrong Time I don't want to lose you, don't want to hear what you're going to say And I would spend my lifetime wishing your words away This is not my life - this isn't how its supposed to be I was so blind If I only had the eyes to see - right place, wrong time Just to see what's right in front of me - right place, wrong time Through my tears I see you, but then they wash away At night I dream of you, but then I wake Now I can't try, but I can pray You won't believe in me, and you won't stay Now the rain's my friend and the night it seems so long But was I wrong If I only had the eyes to see - right place, wrong time Just to see what's right in front of me - right place, wrong time Where are you tonight? If you ask, I'm not alright Now the memories fade - do you even think of me at all? Can I say that I've been loved - will I feel so loved again? You were my friend If I only had the eyes to see - right place, wrong time Just to see what's right in front of me - right place, wrong time

Looking-glass War Counting out pieces of fate on the living-room table Trying somehow to exchange them for something more stable One casualty more in the looking-glass war You stayed till the last You were tied to the mast And as your ship sank you bravely saluted the flag Swaggering round with a satisfied look on your face You suddenly looked up and found yourself in a strange place You had to retreat to avoid a defeat You were caught at the pass And you died on your ass Now the best you can do is to bury your dead and move on Cos its all gone wrong - by now you were supposed to be rolling along And you stayed too long You stared into space with that grin on your face And the whole human race has moved on Now the bits of your puzzle are scattered all over the floor Opportunity knocked - you were waiting behind the wrong door So give us a smile as you crawl the last mile Its no place for fools And remember the rules - You can't win, you can't draw, and you'll never get out of the game Cos its all gone wrong - by now you were supposed to be rolling along And you stayed too long You stared into space with that grin on your face And the whole human race has moved on

Where Did The Good Times Go Remember the time when you were sweet sixteen Making your love to your teenage dream Now you look back and it seems so strange Now you look back and you re-arrange Look back now its not so bad Thinking of everything you never had Johnny goes out in the night - pretty maids all in a row Something inside says you can't have everything Where did the good times go? Johnny goes out in the night - see pretty maids all in a row You're a thief in the night but you can't have everything Where did the good times go? Now you think you've found what the whole thing's for Got the house and the Jag and the two-point-four But the wife walked out and the kids won't write And you parked the car in the house last night Try and you try but it won't come right And you blame yourself- and you're too damn right Johnny goes out in the night - pretty maids all in a row Something inside says you can't have everything Where did the good times go? Johnny goes out in the night - see pretty maids all in a row You're a thief in the night but you can't have everything Where did the good times go? Johnny goes out in the night - see pretty maids all in a row You can take what you like but you can't keep anything Where did the good times go?

about

It is a good time to reflect on this 2001 first release by the Sheffield three piece Psi Phi.
In Pod they have a superb guitarist/vocalist and the rhythm section of Andy Scott on bass/vocals and Rob Glynn on drums are as good as you will hear, and there are some fine vocal harmonies.
It's obviously all very guitar driven and this is what might be termed clean and straight rock played by three musicians at the top of their trade if not the top of the billboards. A great album that you might have missed.

about

Psi Phi Sheffield, UK

Pigeonholed as unclassifiable since 1999!
Responsible for perpetrating an extremely intelligent, varied and talented form of rock, Psi Phi gave genuine entertainment on all levels.
Pod, Andy and Rob were purveyors of well crafted classic rock with catchy tunes, some singalong and a bit poppy, some positively powerchordtastic - rather marvellously so.
