These are doctorinfierno's notes on Buried Alive by Rick Wakeman.

Nowhere left for me to hide.
Waiting for my paranoia.
Way too late to change my mind.
[1]
No-one wants to beat me.

Locked away no place to go.
Everything is disappearing.
[2]
Angels rush to meet the foolish.
No-one comes to meet me.

I'm just buried alive.
Nowhere else left to hide
[3]
No-one knows me inside.
No-one gets out alive.

(Alive) again don't breathe a word.
Listen hard and hear the silence.
Starve the poor and feed the rich.
Thereґs no revolution
[4]

Build me up then knock me down.
Watch my life collapse around me.
Prison cells with no release date.
There is no resolution.


No-one gets out alive.
Nowhere else left to hide.
No-one knows me inside.
I'm just buried alive.


Come and get me and take me away
I don't want you to go.
I'm locked in a nigthmare
Where you never stay

It can't be the end of the show

Head for the wings and then run for your live
I hope you have somewhere to hide

The devil, no longer has all the best tunes
We've all been buried alive


No-one wants to be me
No-one cares if I'm free
Only God knows that weґre all buried alive.

No-one wants to come and save me.
No-one wants to save my face.
No-one wants to stand beside me.
No-one wants to take my place.

Nowhere left for me to hide.
Waiting for my paranoia.
Way too late to change my mind.
No-one wants to beat me.

Locked away no place to go.
Everything is disappearing.
Angels rush to meet the foolish.
No-one comes to meet me.

I'm just buried alive.
Nowhere else left to hide
No-one knows me inside.
No-one gets out alive.

No-one wants to be me.
No-one cares if i'm free.
Only God knows that weґre all buried alive

[1] Una canción del álbum 'Return to the Centre of the Earth' de Wakeman, secuela de su grabación de 1974, 'Journey to the Centre of the Earth', basada en la novela homónima de Julio Verne

[2] Esta canción la canta Ozzy Osbourne, amigo de Wakeman de vieja data ya había grabado con él en los 70s, grabanado teclados para el álbum 'Sabbath Bloody Sabbath'. Posteriormente Wakeman grabaría los teclados del álbum concepto de Ozzy llamado 'Ozzmosis'

[3] Este trabajo de Wakeman está lleno de voces famosas: es narrado por Patrick Stewart (Star Trek), también canta Bonnie Tyler y Trevor Rabin (ex-Yes)

[4] Si bien el álbum es bastante bueno, se siente sobre-producido, al punto en que ocasiones la orchesta y los coros se tragan el sonido y la energía del rock. Esto a diferencia de 'Journey' que es un álbum en vivo y captura la energía de la presentación
