This is icehouse
I've seen them, I've seen the danger
I've seen some things
I'll remember if I live forever.
CHORUS:
I need dream killers
I need your pictures
I don't need heroes
I need opinions
I need religion
I don't need heroes
I'll use the trick
It hurts but I'm thinking clearly.
You bite with sound
Recorded speech is in the throat of your God
(repeat chorus)
Don't break my heart
(repeat chorus)
Wrong place, wrong time.
The American dream's sure to save me.
One more mistake,
So this is the art of survival.
(repeat chorus)
The rest you need
For just one kiss
How could you know
You'd pay the price?
You try in love
Just once or twice
No last regrets
No sacrifice
CHORUS
Hey, hey
Hey, hey
Did you follow me?
Just walk into the fire
Into the wild
Well, there she goes
That friend of mine
If I could read
Between the lines
My once last chance
I let her go
So when you talk
Don't talk of love
CHORUS
In the name of love
That sweet refrain
That tells me you're
No stranger to the sound
Of the siren's call
That takes you down
Down to the deep
Again and again
CHORUS
Hey, hey
Hey, hey
Hey, hey
Hey, into the wild
Hey, into the wild
I know it isn't right, ah yeah
faith has been broken
and if I have to wait I will
I will be waiting
'cos I watched as the rain come down
and I held it in the palm of my hand
some things will never change
it's just a matter of time
oh I, I believe
I will find you there
someday
and I will follow
whereever you lead
where the river meets the sea
there's got to be a way, ah yeah
faith is still breathing
in another place, another time
I will be waiting
'cos I watched as the rain come down
and it's just a matter of time
oh, I believe
I will find you there
someday
castaway...just out of reach
driven by the storm
somewhere, I believe
you'll always find me here
and I, I will follow
whereever you lead
where the river meets the sea
if you catch yourself some morning
staring at some distant land
with the wind along the shoreline
disappearing into sand
fighting back against the tide and
slowing, sinking, losing ground,
'cos you've found yourself some answers
but you still don't understand
oh I, I believe
I will find you there
someday
castaway...just out of reach
driven by the storm
somewhere, I believe
you'll always find me here
and I, I will follow
whereever you lead
where the river meets the sea
Well you want
to be in the gang
and you've got
got to join the team
to be on the team
you must play to win
you play to win
you may not make it home
up the hill, down again
you're the one
every body wears a badge
uniform
soldier boys!
we've got plans for you
a brand new game
we call it "mass control"
when you grow up
it's not so obvious
dirt on your face
holding your broken toys
up the hill, down again
you're the one
everybody wears a badge

Touch The Fire

Iva Davies
--------------
she moves like a mystic
like a priestess tall and pale
she lays down the mystery
all her secrets are unveiled
wherever I look I see her there
wherever I go you know she's there
and she takes posession she has control
next to you I can touch the fire
and when the fever takes a hold
next to you I can touch the fire
her words fall in echos
ringing bells like gypsy rhymes
she has the power
no believer can explain
wherever I look I see her there
wherever I go you know she's there
and she takes posession she has control
next to you I can touch the fire
and when the fever takes a hold
next to you I can touch the fire
I feel the heat pumping in my veins
next to you I can touch the fire
I see myself going up in flames
next to you I can touch the fire
wherever I look I see her there
wherever I go you know she's there
she takes posession
she has control
next to you I can touch the fire
and when the fever takes a hold
next to you I can touch the fire
I feel the heat pumping in my veins
next to you I can touch the fire

Whoa oh (Whoa oh)
Sidewalk, sleep on the sidewalk, the ragman stands at the end of a line
His eyes burn hard in the light of day, so proud of the American Way
But it's a lie, yeah, lie, and you believe every word
Well, it's a lie, yeah, lie, but what goes on in your mind?
And when the walls come down on the American dream
You're gonna sleep on the sidewalk
In your hands, dirt and blood on your hands
In your day, you didn't need anyone
So look around, remember, yeah, these are your friends
But it's a lie, yeah, lie, and you believe every word
Well, it's a lie, yeah, lie, but what goes on in your mind?
But when the walls come down, yeah when the walls come down
When the walls come down, on the American dream
You're gonna sleep on the sidewalk, sleep with the redhead
When you're so proud, it's the American Way, it's the American Way
Sidewalk, sidewalk, sleep on the, sleep on the sidewalk
Somewhere in Siberia
There will be a small explosion
Particles like dust
Are released and slowly growing
You will hear a tiny voice
And when you hear it, you will know it
A circuit has been broken
(The system, ECHOING)
Somewhere close to Hollywood
There will be a small explosion
Fires will be burning
Television cameras rolling
There will be one tiny voice
No one else will ever hear it
The silence has been broken
The system
The system is overloaded
The system is overloaded
Somewhere in the night sky
There will be a small explosion
Followed by a sudden flash
Over in an instant
You will see a star has died
And know exactly what has happened
A pattern has been broken
Been broken
The system
The system is overloaded, overloaded
The system is overloaded, overloaded
The system
The system is overloaded
Somewhere in your mind
There will be a soft explosion
Chemicals have just collided
And there is no way of knowing
You will hear your own tiny voice
And you won't even recognize it
The connection has been broken
The system
The system is overloaded
The system is overloaded, overloaded
The system
The system is overloaded, overloaded
The system
Overloaded
Do you remember the sea of our time?
The mountain I've seen... The mountain I've seen...
Talking about money, we sweep to Mexico
And though when there's a sun and a river
The mountain's song... The mountain's song... The mountain's song...
The song to everything follow their way to the valley
And when does the summer avoids?
The mountain's song... The mountain's song...
Voice of the wind... Voice of the mountain's song...

Street Cafe

Iva Davies

if there were no tomorrows
if there was just one more chance
I'd take it again
you know I'd take it again
you turn and it's gone forever
in time you forget
you know that's love
it's only love
and no matter where the days have left you
every day ends at the street cafe
the street cafe
and no matter where the road may take you
every time it brings you back to the street cafe
it's where you have to be
well the people may come and go but
here the street and the scene is just
the way that it was
the way that it was
no nothing will ever change here
maybe a smile reminds you
now and again
you wonder now and again
when another night will take you nowhere
you go down to the street cafe
and any time you know the crowd can hide you
the days end at the street cafe
yeah the street cafe
you turn and it's gone forever
in time you forget
you know that's love
you know it's only love
but no matter where the days have left you
every day ends at the street cafe

every time it brings you back to the street cafe

oh no no no
no matter where the road may take you
we'll meet again someday

THE GREAT DIVIDE (I. Davies)----------------------------Where the moon sinks low in the southern sky
On the open plains, where the river runs dry
Well, his feet are bare, bare and dusty brown
And a hot wind blows over sacred ground
And a new day brekas
On the mountainside
Reaching out, reaching out
Over the great divide
It? s a long, long road
Stretching out ahead
Step by step, step by step
Over the great divide
On a dead end street in a border town
Where the stray dog sleeps in the midday sun
Now the headline news is old and worn
The pages stained with blood and rain, And cheap red wine
And his skin is black
The last of his tribe
And he turns his back, turns his back
On the great divide
And a new day breaks
On the mountainside
Reaching out, reaching out
Over the great divide
Solid rock and burning sand
Weathered by the hand of time
Standing high above the storm
Cutting deep against the grain
And the years have come and gone
Leaving all their scars behind
Where the hills begin to climb
There? s a legend carved in stone
And a new day breaks
On the mountainside
Reaching out, reaching out
Over the great divide
It? s a long, long road
Stretching out ahead
Step by step, step by step
Over the great divide
And his skin is black
The last of his tribe
And he turns his back, turns his back
On the great divide
It? s a long, long road
That leads him home again
Step by step, step by step
Over the great divide
Harbour Town (Iva Davies)Well, you can see these people
At the end of every working day
Down at the local bar
Or maybe hanging out in some dark caféDown on the waterfront
As the big grey boats come steaming on home
It? s anybody? s guess
Where the night begins and the party ends
He says, "come on, baby, take a hold of my hand? cause it? s Saturday night in the Harbour Town
And the city lights up when the sun goes down
It? s Saturday night in the Harbour Town"And anywhere you look
There? s a smooth operator just playing the game
Got the blue jeans, baby, His hands in his pockets and the same old lines
Looking for a good time
Waiting? til the ship comes in
He says, "come on, baby, take a hold of my hand? cause it? s Saturday night in the Harbour Town
And the city lights up when the sun goes down
It? s Saturday night in the Harbour Town"On the corner of the street where it meets the lane
There? s a message on the wall near the telephone
It says, "honey, you can call... call me anytime..."He says, "come on, baby, take a hold of my hand? cause it? s Saturday night in the Harbour Town
And the city lights up when the sun goes down
It? s Saturday night in the Harbour Town"Knockin? Em Down (Iva Davies)Well, there? s no way out of Marrickville
For the son of the hard working man
Where the punk who has the muscle
Is the leader of the local gang
Well, there? s ain? t no time for discussion
And there ain? t no time to waste
You just take him on single handed
You just push him,? til it breaks
He said, "hey, that? s alright
I can take it for one more round
You can give me your best shot, baby
But the boy keeps knockin? em down..."So he grew up wild and reckless
And he grew up quick and mean? til an enterprising gentleman
Put his talents in the ring
He said, "boy, you? re just a renegade
You got no place left to hide"I can make you fame and fortune
Maybe champion of the world..."He said, "hey, that? s alright
I can take it for one more round
You can give me your best shot, baby
But the boy keeps knockin? em down..."He said, "hey, that? s alright
I can stand here and hold my ground
You can give me your best shot, baby
But the boy keeps knockin? em down..."Well, there? s blood on the canvas and leather
And he learned his lesson well
But the boy keeps swingin? those punches? til he hears that final bell
He said, "hey, that? s alright
I can take it for one more round
You can give me your best shot, baby
But the boy keeps knockin? em down..."He said, "hey, that? s alright
I can stand here and hold my ground
You can give me your best shot, baby
But the boy keeps knockin? em down..."He said, "hey, that? s alright
You can give me your best shot, baby

Suzie never met anybody famous
That was in the beginning
Out of the window with a couple of girfriends
And her red leather boots on
Pitching out on the street in a raincoat
She never needed a license
She was one step ahead of a new thing
Both feet planted over the fine line
In a cheap dance club down in the basement
She was almost sixteen with her face on
And the singer in the band played a stolen guitar
Played it like a natural man
It was all too easy
Played a stolen guitar
(Stolen guitar)
Later on at the party backstage
It was just a case of tequila
When the message got around there was something going on
It was already over
She was one step away from the real thing
Already way over the fine line
They were locked upstairs in a hotel room
Definately went too far with the black lace on
And the singer in the band played a stolen guitar
Played it like a natural man
It was all too easy
Played a stolen guitar
She said, "The Devil made me do it
I don't know why
It must have been a stolen guitar
It was all too easy"
She only wanted a ticket to rock and roll heaven
By the time that he woke up she was halfway home again
With the stolen guitar, the next teenage sensation
She says, "Now I got to get a reputation"
She said, "The Devil made me do it
I don't know why
We might as well forget it, man
It was all so easy"
The singer got the leather boot and Suzie got the photos
The reporter got a phonecall and the papers got the headlines
She says, "I got what it takes, baby, you better not forget it
I got a record on the radio and a stolen guitar"
She played him like a natural man
It was easy
The Devil made her do it
I don't know why
If you want to know the secret
You want to play the blues
The trick is play it dirty
Play a stolen guitar
Play a stolen guitar
Stolen guitar
Stolen guitar
We don't know this place
this wasted stretch of land
and these steaming horizons
it's locked in our past
it's stragely so familiar
like a scar on our memory
no sign of the ancient heroes
who gave us this one last hour
it's so still, there's so few of us here
there's no sound here at all
the last light disappears
with the Sons of decay
the ones left to stay
For years we were lost
we slept as systems stored us
they sealed in our orders
we woke up alone
in this silence and this space
as if nothing happened
no sign of the ancient heroes
who left us this one long hour
it's so still, there's so few of us here
love, I'm feeling so small, all night
just waiting here
with the Sons of decay
Ooh, ooh... ooh, ooh... uh, uh, uh... Mmm, mmm, mmm...
Now as the day is closing, hold every moment
It may slip through your hands
Evening falls so slowly, so something warm as only summer nights can
Every sound that you're hearing, every smile that you catch
Is somehow lost in the crowd
And I know it's not easy, oh girl you know me
There's no need to go now
All those tears you've wasted (All those tears you have wasted)
When all the while (After all the while)
Everything was alright (Everything is)
So don't you be so sad now (So don't you be so sad now)
You know that we can make it work out (We can make it work out
When the moon & sun finds you (When the moon and sun finds you)
Well U can turn to brand new day (You can turn to a brand new day)
All the love that I give you (All the love that I give you)
Take all I have, no one can steal it away (No one can steal away)
Tonite, tonite, stay close tonight... Hold on, hold on, stay close tonight
You and I belong here, two of a kind together day after day
Outside the night is warm, just close you eyes now
So come on, don't you cry
Oh tonight somehow special
I don't know how to tell you the way that I feel
We could stay here forever, never come down
Won't you say that you will
Tonite, tonite (chance, chance) stay close tonight (stay close tonight)
Hold on, hold on, stay close tonight (stay close tonight)
Tonite, tonite (chance, chance) stay close tonight (stay close tonight)
Heeeeeeeyyyyyyyy!!!!!
Well, we walk like thieves
On the cutting edge.
And we breathe like animals
And we think like men
Beyond the law.
With our best shades on
And a suit and tie
We look so respectable.
But we think like men
Hmm yeah
Beyond the law.
Oh baby, don't you hear the call?
Don't you hear the call? (hear)
The sound of that raw nerve screaming
Well it's a hot night, hot night
(down below, down below)
In this big city, big city
(movin' on, movin' on)
We gotta get goin', get goin'
(celebrate, celebrate)
Shake down, shake down
Shakin' the cage
Well, the monkey see
And the monkey do
It's so predictable.
Monkey shakin' the cage (cage)
This monkey needs
Something more.
Oh baby, don't you hear the call? (hear the call?)
Don't you hear the call? (Hear the call?)
(Ooh ooh ooh)
Oh baby, baby, don't you hear the call? (hear the call?)
Don't you hear the sound? (hear the sound?)
(Ohhhhhh) The sound of that raw nerve screaming
Well it's a hot night, hot night

In this big city, big city

We gotta get goin', get goin'
(celebrate, celebrate) Mmm yeah
Shake down, shake down
Shakin' the cage
And it's a hot night, hot night...[fade]
Satellite, satellite
Satellite, satellite
She's got a wall full of pinups
And magazine photos
She teases her hair
As she tries on the poses
Just stands at the T.V.
While she's filing her nails
And sighs, "Maybe"
And I am standing in line
With the other stuffed toys
While she's checking her diary
And painting her toes
Is Friday or Saturday night?
Well, who knows?
She says, "Maybe"
And there's space junk inside her head
And she's, she's somewhere out there
Spinning like a
Satellite, satellite
Oh, dizzy, dizzy, darling
When are you coming down?
Satellite, satellite
Well, she's studied the movies
Ordered all the right clothes
Is she modeling Gretta Garbo
Or Maralyn Monroe?
She can waste hours and hours
With her friends on the phone
They say, "Maybe"
Leaves her lipstick and perfume
All over the place
Only sweets in the daytime
Never wears the same dress
She's in ecstasy now
She's says, "Oo, that's the best!"
I say, "Maybe"
And there's space junk inside her head
She's somewhere out there
Spinning like a
Satellite, satellite
Space junk inside her head
She's somewhere out there
Space junk inside her head
She's somewhere out there
Spinnin' like a
Satellite
Oh, dizzy, dizzy, darling
When are you coming down?
Space junk inside her head
She's somewhere out there
Spinning like a
Satellite
Oh, dizzy, dizzy, darling
When are you coming down?
Space junk inside her head
She's somewhere out there
Spinning like a
Satellite, satellite
Oh, dizzy, dizzy, darling
Space junk inside her head
Hello! Hello!
Who's your lady friend?
He's got his finger on the trigger
A bad case of the shakes
A Hollywood apartment
And a car with no brakes
After close investigation
At the scene of the crime
He's getting down to business
While we're killing time
The deals and the alley
His hands in his his jacket
Bow tie and bracers
45 in his pocket
Sam is off the freeway
Heading down the boulevarde
Double shots of burbon
Are lined up in the bar
We're all waiting for Sam the Man
Get him on the line, yeah
Play it again for Sam the Man
One of a kind, yeah
Sam the Man
Meanwhile back at Jake's
The blonde is smoking at the bar
She's got a certain rendez-vous
She's not going anywhere
Expensive perfume
And six-inch stilletos
Like a killer dynamite
And a box full of matches
The crowd is thinning out now
It's getting kind of late
She glances at the door
Lights another cigarette
She's slipping out the back door
And he pulls into the lane
Sam is picking up the pieces
And she's the one that got away
We're all waiting for Sam the Man
Get him on the line, yeah
Play it again for Sam the Man
One of a kind, yeah
We're all waiting for Sam the Man
Get him on the line
Have another drink on Sam the Man
One of a kind, yeah
Sam the Man
Sam the Man
Sam the Man
He's got a whistle for Sam the Man
Get him on the line, yeah
Play it again for Sam the Man
One of a kind, yeah
We're all waiting for Sam the Man
Play it again for Sam the Man
Get him on the line
We're all waiting for Sam the Man
so dangerous
like freedom she fades away
the vision that chains the heart
foundations that fall apart
well, I know this place
(east, west
points to the nation
north, south
cut the connection)
stealer
steal her
we cross the border
steal love
still life
we cross the border
and time builds the wall
the wall that is standing still
and she breaks the spell
the spell that may hold us all
you build stone by stone
the line that will last for so long
but for those who dare
her secret is safe with no one
well, I know this place
(east, west
points to the nation
north, south
cut the connection)
stealer
steal her
we cross the border
steal love
still life
we cross the border
(east, west
points to the nation
north, south
lines of persuasion break
(east, west
points to the nation
north, south
cut the connection... break)
You´re heard enough
Of the blues and stuff
You´re pretty swell now
´cause you´re pretty tough
But I don´t have to tell you
How hard it can be to get by
You never bothered
About anyone else
You´re well educated
With no common sense
But love - that´s one thing
You really need to get by
All your troubles
Come from yourself
Nobody hurts you
- they don´t care
Just as long as you show them
A really good time
All the things
You used to do
A trip to the movies
A drink or two
They don´t satisfy you
They don´t tell you anything new
You know I don´t talk much
Except to myself
´cause i´ve not much to say
And there´s nobody else
Who´s ready and willing
And able to know me - I guess
Listen to me
I´m not finished yet
There´s something to tell you
That I can´t forget
Just have a really good time
There´s a girl
I used to know
Her face is her fortune
She´s got a heart of gold
She never goes out much
But boy - when she does
Then you know
She´s got no money
Well, maybe a dime
But she knows what she´s worth
And that´s reason why
She´s gonna make it
She´s got what it takes
You´ll appreciate that
She´s probably late
But I know
And you know
We all know
She´ll have a really good time
(You don't scare me just to hesitate sometimes)
(You don't scare me just to hesitate very safe)
(You don't scare me just to hesitate)
(You don't scare me just to hesitate soon)
(Soon)
(You don't scare me just to hesitate real soon)
(Soon)
(You don't scare me just to hesitate)
(You don't scare me just to hesitate soon)
(You don't scare me...soon...)
(You don't scare me just to hesitate)
(You don't scare me just to hesitate sooner at dawn)
(You don't scare me just to hesitate)
(You don't scare me just to hesitate very safe)
(You don't scare me just to hesitate...soon...)

Over The Line
-------------
Iva Davies
-------------
you wander alone
on your way down the same old road
stand at the corner
watch as the world goes by
living on the outside you don't understand them
there's something that tells you
it isn't meant to be this way
out in the wasteland
you have to face another day
are you living in heaven or hell
going over the line
on the limit and standing alone
going over the line
are you living in heaven or hell
going over the line
are you living in heaven or hell
going over the line
on the limit and standing alone
going over the line
you gaze out the window
faces that pass by
like yesterday's papers
the words have no meaning but
is it any wonder that you look and don't see them
there's something that tells you
it isn't meant to be this way
out in the wasteland
you have to face another day
are you living in heaven or hell
going over the line
on the limit and standing alone
going over the line
are you living in heaven or hell
going over the line
on the limit and standing alone
over the line
are you living in heaven or hell
I'm finding my feet
absolutely midseason mediocre street
I got nothing to say
want nothing to do
with people like you
there's nothing to see
you see there's nothing like a good time
well I remember
I heard it on the radio
and then I
read it in a magazine
Inside this city, on this empty train
hoping that the late night never lets me go
I travel to the station, to the underground
Where the dark is a friend to me
we race along the subways
he's a cold hand on my shoulder
he has a plan to get you nowhere
and the wind is a friend to me
we're singing on the sidewalk
with the gay boys in the back street
there's a new band and a new beat
well, I remember every now and then
some of the places that we used to go
but, baby, tonight I'm drunk and I don't care
and the dark is a friend to me
we race along the subways
with the gay boys in a back street
there's a new gang and a new beat
now it all comes back to me
we're singing on the sidewalk
There's a cold hand on my shoulder
another plan will get you nowhere
now it all comes back to me
you look so stranded, are you all alone?
I wish there was something more that I could say
you may be someone that I used to know
now that's a memory, that was yesterday
so take a hold, now,
don't ever let love go
don't give it up, now
don't ever let them know
you shake me, babe, you shake me, babe
you give it up so fine
you shake so fine
they turn their faces and they hide their eyes
they don't want to understand, they tell you love is a lie
There's a man on the corner, screaming at the street
"Don't let it get you.."
who are these people
every one of them green
all acting like they're friend of mine
they haven't got a reason, man
they got no rhyme
I don't want to stay here
this is wasting my time
she's just another girl
he's just another boy, and they're
not my kind
Submitted by Michael Hack
She tells me that she has to go, she says that it's all over now
She knows how to break me, she knows that it's easy
But when the rain is coming in, she calls me on the telephone she says
"Where did you get to? So come on I need you"
It's a mysterious thing, well it's something I can't explain
Mysterious thing, got me under the spell again
It's a mysterious thing, don't believe what my eyes can see
Mysterious thing, strangest feeling is holding me
So give me an answer, girl, what must I do for your love?
She's gonna make you run around, she's gonna keep you hanging on
Wearing her black lace, wild-eyed and reckless
But before you throw it all away, just think of what it does to me
Why must I go on? Wishing and praying
It's a mysterious thing, well it's something I can't explain
Mysterious thing, got me under the spell again
It's a mysterious thing, don't believe what my eyes can see
Mysterious thing, strangest feeling is holding me
So give me an answer, girl, what must I do for your love?
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm
It's a...It's a...It's a...mysterious thing
Give me an answer, girl, what must I do for your love? Mmm, mmm
It's a mysterious thing, well it's something I can't explain
Mysterious thing, she's got me under the spell...under the spell
It's a...It's a...It's a...
Don't believe what my...Believe what my...Believe what my eyes
Mysterious thing, well it's something I can't explain, no, no
It's a mysterious thing, heading under the spell...under the spell
Mysterious thing
When he's dancin', baby, knows just how to move
When he's in a jam, he knows just what to do
He's talking', baby, knows just what to say
Think what you want, he don't care anyway
But something is missing, Mr. Big...Something is missing, Mr. Big...
You can see him, yeah he's always on the town
And he's dressed to kill he always looks so fine
When he wants to walk he'll walk all over you
He don't do the things that little people do
But something is missing, Mr. Big...So what's the problem, Mr. Big...
Don't look so happy, Mr. Big...Ooh, something is missing, Mr. Big...
Uh uh yeah...
(Mr., this is Mr. Big! Mr., this is Mr. Big!)
(Mr., please listen, just listen to this, Mr., this is Mr. Big!)
When he's dancin', baby, knows just how to move

Watching them come and go
The templars and the saracens
They're traveling the holy land
Opening telegrams
Torture comes and torture goes
Knights who'd give you anything
They bear the cross of coeuf de leon
Salvation for the mirror blind
But if you pray all your sins are hooked upon the sky
Pray and the heathen lie will disappear
Prayers they hide the saddest view
(Believing the strangest things, loving the alien)
And your prayers they break the sky in two
(Believing the strangest things, loving the alien)
You pray til the break of dawn
(Believing the strangest things, loving the alien)
And you'll believe you're loving the alien
(Believing the strangest things, loving the alien)
Thinking of a different time
Palestine a modern problem
Bounty and your wealth in land
Terror in a best laid plan
Watching them come and go
Tomorrows and the yesterdays
Christians and the unbelievers
Hanging by the cross and nail
We must play our lives like soldiers in the field
But life is short i'm running faster all the time
Strength and beauty destined to decay
So cut the rose in full bloom
'til the fearless come and the act is done
A love like blood, a love like blood
Everyday through all frustration and despair
Love and hate fight with burning hearts
'til legends live and man is god again
(and self-preservation rules the day no more)
We must dream of promised lands and fields
That never fade in season
As we move towards no end we learn to die
Red tears are shed on grey
Hey! She raves and she's talking, she's a dirty girl and she's disgusted
Some people are not so lucky... Oo oo... Lucky me...
A red light on Notre Dame, I don't drink a âosh-oshâ champagne
Some people are not so lucky... Oo oo... Lucky me...
Well they stare from the windows, and they lean on the buttons
As the cars die crashing in the street
I feel like Attila the Hun, I feel like Nagasaki
Some people are not so lucky... Oo oo... Lucky me...
I feel like a, a president, I've given up (given up)
(Given up) Given up on you (given up on you)
Some people are not so lucky (not so lucky)...Oo oo... Lucky me...
Well they stare from the windows, and they lean on the buttons
As the cars die crashing in the street
Need to talk to somebody, need to talk to someone
I could fall in love with that girl
I feel like a slow dive (slow dive)...Mmm-hmm... Oo oo... Lucky me...
I feel like dirty girl... Lucky me... Mmm-hmm... Oo oo... Lucky me...
Heading my way... a real kick...
A few drops on the windows, a tear in your dress
And seeing the scars as a matter of fact
How to walk in the house of flowers and the dance goes on
It's the last thing I wear these scenes
Talk to someone, talk to somebody
Someone, somebody, someone, talk to somebody, someone
Well, they stare from the windows and they lean on the buttons
As the cars die crashing in the street
Need to talk to somebody, need to talk to someone
I could fall in love with that girl
Well they stare from the windows and they lean on the buttons
As the cars die crashing in the street
Need to talk to somebody, need to talk to someone
I could fall in love without that girl
I feel like a slow dive, lucky me, oh... Oo oo... Lucky me...
Give you my heart and soul, I give you everything
Put it all in your hands, now is it such a sin
Uh huh round again, taking that back step one more time
Oh no there she goes, look at that girl love in motion
(Ooh ooh) I'm gonna follow you (Ooh ooh) anywhere you go
(Ooh ooh) And when I make you mine
(Ooh ooh) I won't ever let you go
Uh huh round again, taking that back step one more time
Oh no there she goes, making it easy feel like dancing
Uh huh round again, only one thing gonna change your mind
Oh no there she goes, tell you that girl is love in motion
(Ooh ooh) [whistle] (Ooh ooh) Yeah yeah yeah yeah
(Ooh ooh) [whistle] (Ooh ooh) Won't ever let you go
Uh huh round again, taking that back step one more time
Oh no there she goes, making it easy feel like dancing
Uh huh round again, only one thing gonna change your mind
Oh no there she goes, tell you that girl is love in motion
Love in motion
Mmm-hmm, uh huh round again, taking that back step one more time
Oh no there she goes, let me tell you that girl is love in motion
(Love in motion) Love in motion (Love in motion...Love in motion...)
Uh huh (Ooh ooh)...Uh huh (Ooh ooh)
Uh huh (Ooh ooh) love in motion
Uh huh (Ooh ooh) love in motion
Uh huh (Ooh ooh) Uh huh (Ooh ooh) Huh, love in motion
(Ooh ooh) Come on, dear, love in motion (Ooh ooh, ooh ooh)
Secrets of lovers
Whisper tonight
Broken down angel
Got lost in the cold daylight
The city is screaming
And I look for your eyes
Someone to lean on through the night
Your music talks to me and hits me tonight
One candle burning, I hear your voice say
So let there be love
Let there be love
Love
Let there be love
It heals and it hurts
She leads you to heaven's door
And leaves you for dirt
Someone to lean on, that's your own
Some magic conquers me and lives in my soul,
She comes like an ocean and I hear you sing
Love will conquer anything
So let it be love
Let it be love
Love
Let it be love
The wall's down
They're coming down
I can't slow
I know it now
So stay now
Hold on
And I'm praying
So let it be love
Let it be love
Love
Let it be love
I know what I want
I know what I feel
I know what I want
So let there be love
So let there be love
Let there be love
Always stand in the shadows,
turn your back to the light
now we want to see the face
behind the name
cross your palm with silver,
see it shining so bright
you know there has to be
someone to take the blame
you better think about it, Judas
you may be headline news yet, Judas
you better get it straight now, Judas
you better be damned sure, Judas
so you thought you could take a little piece,
well, kiss it all good-bye
only losers can play that kind of game, yeah
I've heard people talking, how do you sleep at night?
nobody told you how to pay the price of fame
[chorus]
Judas
you better think about it
Judas
It's up to you now, wrong or right
It's on your head now, the hand of fate
think about it, think about it
so there is just one simple question,
can you tell me why?
would you say that it was worth it in the end?
you better get it straight now, Judas
you better be damned sure
you better think about it, Judas
Yeah, yeah
The invisible people
Yeah, yeah
Walking in the garden
Flowers dying
The garden is a jungle
Everywhere
Black rain is coming down
And nobody is watching
But I see you there
CHORUS
I know you're not a number
You got a name
We're invisible people
Invisible people
You gotta give a hand to
Invisible people
Yeah, yeah
They're looking out the windows
Of ivory towers
Filling in the details
They got it made
Where are we going wrong?
Won't anybody tell me
I don't understand
CHORUS
Invisible people
Stand up and be counted
Invisible people
Invisible people
You gotta give a little love to
Invisible people
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Invisible people
Invisible people
Invisible people
Stand up and be counted
I know you got a voice, yeah
You got something to say
Tell me, where do we go from here?
I want to hear the message, yeah
Loud and clear
Invisible people
Yeah, yeah
CHORUS
I know you're not a number
Invisible people
Invisible people
You gotta give a little love to
Invisible people
Yeah, yeah
Invisible people
Invisible people
Invisible people
Yeah, yeah
Invisible people
You gotta give a little love to
Invisible people
Yeah
Invisible people
Yeah, yeah
The rest you need for just one kiss
How could you know? You'd pay the price
You try in love, just once or twice, no last regrets, no sacrifice
Hey, hey, hey... Hey, hey, hey...(Ooh) Did you follow me?
(Ooh) Just walk into the fire (hey) Into the wild
Well, there she goes, that friend of mine
If I could read between the lines... My one last chance, I let her go
So when you talk, don't talk of love, ooh ooh
Hey, hey, hey... Hey, hey, hey...(Ooh) Did you follow me?
(Ooh) Just walk into the fire (hey) Into the wild
In the name of love (love), that sweet refrain
That tells me you're no stranger to the sound
Of the siren's call that takes you down
Down to the deep again and again, mmm
Hey, hey, hey... Hey, hey, hey...(Ooh) Did you follow me?
(Ooh) Just walk into the fire (hey) Into the wild... Ooh ooh ooh
Hey, hey, hey... Hey, hey, hey... Hey, hey, hey...
Hey, hey, into the wild... Hey, hey, into the wild...
Hey, hey, into the wild... Hey, hey, hey... Hey, hey, hey... Hey, hey, hey...
Everyone is trying to get to the bar.
The name of the bar, the bar is called Heaven.
The band in Heaven plays my favorite song.
They play it once again, they play it all night long.
Heaven is a place where nothing ever happens.
Heaven is a place where nothing ever happens.
There is a party, everyone is there.
Everyone will leave at exactly the same time.
Its hard to imagine that nothing at all
could be so exciting, and so much fun.
Heaven is a place where nothing ever happens.
Heaven is a place where nothing ever happens.
When this kiss is over it will start again.
It will not be any different, it will be exactly
the same.
It's hard to imagine that nothing at all
could be so exciting, could be so much fun.
Heaven is a place where nothing every happens.
Heaven is a place where nothing every happens.
Well, you can see these people
at the end of every working day
down at the local bar
or maybe hanging out in some dark cafe
down on the waterfront
as the big grey boats come steaming on home
it's anybody's guess
where the night begins and the party ends
He says "come on baby, take a hold of my hand
'cause it's Saturday night in the Harbour Town
and this city lights up when the sun goes down
it's Saturday night in the Harbour Town"
and anywhere you look
there's a smooth operator just playing the game
got the blue jeans, baby,
his hands in his pockets and the same old lines
looking for a good time
waiting 'til the ship comes in
He says "come on baby, take a hold of my hand
'cause it's Saturday night in the Harbour Town
and this city lights up when the sun goes down
it's Saturday night in the Harbour Town"
On the corner of the street where it meets the lane
there's a message on the wall near the telephone
it says, "honey, you can call.. call me anytime.."
He says "come on baby, take a hold of my hand
'cause it's Saturday night in the Harbour Town
and this city lights up when the sun goes down
it's Saturday night in the Harbour Town"
I, I wish you could swim
Like the dolphins
Like dolphins can swim
Though nothing, nothing will keep us together
We can beat them, forever and ever
Oh, we can be heroes just for one day
I, I will be King
And you, you will be Queen
Though nothing will drive them away
We can be heroes just for one day
We can be us just for one day
I, I can remember
(I remember)
Standing by the wall
(By the wall)
And the guns, shot above our heads
(Over our heads)
And we kissed, as though nothing could fall
(Nothing could fall)
And the shame, was on the other side
Oh, we can beat them, forever and ever
Then we could be heroes just for one day
We can be heroes
We can be heroes
We can be heroes just for one day
We were living in this matchbox
Well, it must be quite some time
I was slaving at the steel mill
Every day on the production line
And I came home one summer evening
The place was empty, ain't that strange?
She left a message on the mirror
In pink lipstick she signed her name
It said, I don't like this
And I don't like that
And I'm gonna hit the town
Yes, I'm leaving you
And I won't be back
Goodbye, Valentine
So I called up all my best friends
I said, "hey, boys, just come around"
We've howling like a gang of alley cats
We've up and down and hanging 'round the main
The postman woke me in the morning
He was banging on my door
He said, "I got a postcard from Jamaica
And a telegram from New York"
It says, I don't like this
And I don't like that
This is such a dirty town
Well, I've spent all your money
And it won't be back
Goodbye, Valentine
Well, I'm feeling so much better
Yes, I'm livin' like a king
I'm on my second bottle of Dr. Good
And by now I don't feel a thing
Well, I hope you're happy
Have a real good time
'Cause you know I'll do the same
Yes, I will
Yes, I will
Yes, I will
Later on, I don't remember
Valentine was on the telephone
She said, "I'm living with my mother
And I'm bored, now can I come home?
Now can I come home?"
I don't like this
Don't like that
Well, excuse me, what's your name?
But it's too late now
'Cause I've changed my mind
It's goodbye, Valentine
You can take your silly hat collection
And your sixty pairs of shoes
Your Madonna records always were a pain
Your suitcase full of sequins
Take your bean bag too
This is goodbye, Valentine
Goodbye, Valentine
Well, I don't like this
And I don't like that, no
This is goodbye, Valentine
It's living and its breathing
Its growing deep inside me
Just like a disease yeah (just like a disease)
Swallowed up and slowly strangled
Every second is eternal
I just don't need it (I just don't need it)
I am sleeping with these demons
Give me all of these good reasons
But I don't believe no (don't believe no)
I said no more
You put me back on the line
You say we can make a deal
Feed the machine
No more
The machine that wants to love you
The machine that needs to hold you
Holding me down yeah (Hold me down)
Well it reaches out to touch you
And it wraps its arms around you
It's me suffocating
It's me suffocating
I said no more
You put me back on the line
You say we can make deal
Feed the machine
I said no more
Feed the machine
No more
It living and its breathing
It's growing deep in side me
Swallowed up and slowly strangled
Every second is eternal
And I am sleeping with these demons
I am sleeping with these demons
I said no more
No more
Feed the machine
You say we can make a deal
You put me back on the line
I said no more
You put me back on the line
You say we can make a deal
Feed the machine
No more
Feed the machine
No more

("...with kinds of job." "Kinds of class, huh?")
Uh-huh-uh...Uh huh
Window frosted in the rain, dusty pages, broken lines is all I have
Candle shadow in the flame of the moments that we try to start again
Of many things that I remember too many now that you forget
How can you tell me that it's gone? How can you turn and walk away?
Don't say it's over, don't turn away, a love so fine
Now it's over, don't turn away, a love so fine
The empty room you leave behind
Nothing is, nothing belongs, nothing belongs
The faded roses by the door
The picture hanging on my wall, no more than this
Of the promises we made of the good time that we had
Cause they don't come to nothing now, just look again before you go
Don't say it's over, don't turn away, a love so fine
Now it's over, don't give away, a love so fine
Dusty pages, broken lines
So many things that I remember, too many now that you forget
How can you tell me that it's gone now?
How can you turn and walk away?
Don't say it's over, don't turn away, a love so fine
Now it's over, don't turn away, a love so fine
Don't say it's over...A love so fine...
Now it's over, don't give away, a love so fine
I never counted on this
guess that's the way that it goes yeah
you used to be someone I knew
somebody I could understand but
now I don't know what to do
and I don't know who you are no
all those things I hear you say
you talk that way you're a stranger and I
I don't know where to begin
don't want to hear it again
I don't believe anymore
and this is all I know
I know I've heard it before
I don't believe anymore
and I remember your voice
before this happened to us
and I could see and I was sure
and everything was young and new but
we lost it too many times
and that's the way that it is
lovers come and lovers go
when you think you know it just isn't true oh
I don't know where to begin
don't want to hear it again
I don't believe anymore

head in the clouds

could be I'm losing my head
over you
well, you've gotta be crazy, baby
to want a guy like me
yeah, you've gotta be out of your mind
crazy
So if I'm dreaming
don't wake me tonight

I don't want it right
'cause you're the one sure thing

I ask myself should I put my finger to the left, no
I ask myself should I put my finger to the right, no
I say it really doesn't matter where I put my finger
Someone else will come along and move it
And it's always been the same
It's just a complicated game
A little girl asked me should she part her hair upon the left, no
A little girl asked me should she part her hair upon the right, no
I said it doesn't really matter where you part your hair
Someone else will come along and move it and it's
Always been the same
It's just a complicated game
A little boy asked me should he put his vote upon the left, no
A little boy asked me should he put his vote upon the right, no
I say it really doesn't matter where you put your vote
Someone else will come along and move it
And it's always been the same
It's just a complicated game
They wanted tom
They wanted joe
To dress 'em up and stick 'em out on show
They were arrows in a very bad aim
It's just a complicated game
God asked me should he ought to put his world on the left, no
God asked me should he ought to put his world on the right, no
I said god, it really doesn't matter where you put your world
Someone will come along and move it
And it's always been the same
It's just a complicated
Game
Just sit back and relax
Well, come take a little ride
This a limousine, baby
What you see is what you get
Well, the red lights are flashing
They're crashing the car
It's a Cadillac, baby
Cadillac, baby
Turn on the television set
Watch yourself on the network news
They've got the telephone and dial
You can talk to anyone you want to
Well, we know where we're going
We're going nowhere
It's a Cadillac, baby
And the red lights are flashing
When crashing the car
It's a Cadillac, baby
Cadillac, baby
Uh-huh, it's bullet proof protected
Uh-huh, luxury appointed
Uh-huh, everything that you expected
Uh-huh, how did we get elected?
We're just rolling down the freeway
Into the twenty-first century
But there's nobody driving
Yeah, there's no one behind the wheel
And there's no way to stop it
We're crashing the car
It's a Cadillac, baby
Uh-huh, how did we get elected?
Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh
Cadillac, baby
Cadillac, baby
And there's nobody driving
The way out of here
It's a Cadillac, baby
The red lights are flashing
They're crashing the car
It's a Cadillac, baby
Cadillac, baby
Cadillac, baby
Cadillac, baby
Cadillac, baby
Cadillac, baby
Cadillac, baby
Cadillac, baby
The Paris hearts all line the boulevarde
she shows her hand and says, "please take a card"
bouquets and lace
a femme fatale face
she breaks the hearts along the boulevarde
but beggers buy love on the boulevarde
and red light stains the stairs and life is hard
God only knows
it never pays
'cause they all die young on the boulevarde

Jack threw a party on a Saturday night
And everybody was coming along
Georgie Porgie, Pudding and Pie
Cows jumping over the moon
The owl and the pussy cat went to see
See what was going down
All the king's horses and all the king's men
Will never be together again
This is too much fun
Yo, ho, ho, ho
Big fun
Butcher, the baker, and the candlestick maker
Chasing the three blind mice
Sugar and Spice being not so nice
Humpty Dumpty all over the place
Little Bo Peep, fast asleep
Simple Simon was not impressed
Down came the spider and sat down beside her
She wiped the smile right off his face
This is too much fun
Yo, ho, ho, ho
Big fun
Jack B. Nimble, not so quick, Jack fell over the candlestick
Little Jack Horner passed out in the corner
Hey, Diddle Diddle, the cat played the fiddle
This is too much... fun
Are we having fun yet?
Yo, ho, ho, ho
Ooh, don't talk to me!
Well, you tell me I'm the one then you tell me not to come, oh yeah
Way you call me names way you play those games, oh yeah
Do you believe it? Do you believe it?
Could it be another man? Well, I just don't understand
Baby, you're so strange
She got high healed shoes, she got rhythm and blues, oh yeah
She got her red dress on 'n' her legs are long, oh yeah
Do you believe it? Do you believe it?
Could it be another man? Well, I just don't understand

Her arms around a flag of blue
His clours flying black and white
She hears the voice between the lines
He hears the warning, he turns his black
Anybody's war
Who is there to catch the pieces
Anybody's war
Faces we don't recognise
She catches every last regret
She holds it gently like a dying star
He stands like a small boy in the street
Throwing rocks and stones into the crowd
Anybody's war
Who is there to catch the pieces
Anybody's war
Faces we don't recognise
Anybody's war
Turning round and round in circles
Anybody's war
People just like you and I
Just a little too afraid
To take the blame that they can't hide
Like a frightened child who is running scared
And they know each other well
Through the innocence long gone
Is the only thing they ever shared
She'll promise that she'll try again
He'll promise that he'll settle down
And they will call themselves the best of friends
But still they're strangers, just like anyone
Anybody's war

And what costume shall the poor girl wear
To all tomorrow's parties
A hand-me-down dress from who knows where
To all tomorrow's parties
And where will she go and what shall she do
When midnight comes around
She'll turn once more to Sunday's clown
And cry behind the door
And what costume shall the poor girl wear
To all tomorrow's parties
Why silks and linens of yesterday's gowns
To all tomorrow's parties
And what will she do with Thursday's rags
When Monday comes around
She'll turn once more to Sunday's clown
And cry behind the door
And what costume shall the poor girl wear
To all tomorrow's parties
For Thursday's child is Sunday's clown
For whom none will go mourning
A blackened shroud, a hand-me-down gown
Of rags and silks, a costume
Fit for one who sits and cries
For all tomorrow's parties
Well, i heard the news
get it down, get it down
in black and white
sensation fills
the headlines
coast to coast
And with a single step
you make the move
standing face to face
standing face to face
and when you know
there's nothing left to loose
you got to make the choice
make the choice
make the choice
Chorus
and you're shot down
shot down
shot down
shot down
Gone for answers there
the assasin eyes
can see the waste
inside the criminal mind
behind the open doors
and empty space
You're shaking hands
you hold the line
you hold the line
you hold the line
and any way you turn
you're still the same
you got to run
you got to run
you got to run

if somebody let you down

Break These Chains
------------------
Iva Davies
------------------
so tell me where are you now
now you know the way it feels
was always easy for you
they never let you down before
I saw you turning to go
I saw you walk away from me
I don't have to play your game
I never did belong in here
I don't hear you any more
now you listen to me 'cause I'm
standing on the outside
watching it all come down on you
I've got to break these chains
no you never could hold me down
I've got to break these chains
it doesn't matter to me
now I can leave it all behind
well it's the anger in me
you put the anger in me
and I remember a time
you know it's not so long ago
was always on the other side
and I knew there must be more
hearing all your empty words
your promises but now
I'm standing on the outside
watching it all come down on you
I've got to break these chains
no you never could hold me down
I've got to break these chains
I've got to break these chains
so tell me where are you now
now you know the way it feels
was always easy for you
they never let you down before
I saw you turning to go
I saw you walk away from me
was always on the other side
and I knew there must be more
hearing all your empty words
your promises but now
I'm standing on the outside
watching it all come down on you
I've got to break these chains
no you never could hold me down
break these chains
I've got to break these chains
no you never could hold me down

I've got to break these chains
oh these chains
no you never could hold me down
no you never could hold me down

There's something you ought to know
About the latest model
She's not the usual kind
She's made of mindless metal
She's not exactly normal
But I don't care
She's got to be the one
Got to be the two
Got to be the three
Got to be the four
Behind the scanners and tapes
She's programmed for perfection
But sometimes simple mistakes
Get by without detection
Her figures need correction
Don't stand there takin' it
Shake it up, sister
You've got nobody else but yourself, sister
Don't stand there takin' it
Shake it up, sister
One, two, three, four
give it hell
Take it in
Work it out
Shake it up, sister
There's something you ought to know
About her calculation
Behind the needles and lights
She hears the faded data
Selects a random sample
The sample says
I've got to be the one
Got to be the two
Got to be the three
It's always cold inside the icehouse
Though the rivers never freeze
There's a girl outside the icehouse
I can see her clearly through the trees
Now she's dreaming of a new love
And she hopes he'll be there soon
She's got so long to wait for him
'Cause he needs another year to get there
She'll wait another lifetime longer
There's no love inside the icehouse
Devil lives inside the icehouse
At least that's what the old ones say
They say, he came a long time ago
He came here with the winter snow
Now it's colder every day
She's still dreaming through the summer
And she's hoping through the spring
She say's, she's got no time for winter nights
She doesn't notice as the days grow darker
She can't remember getting any older
There's no love inside the icehouse
Now she's dreaming of her new love
And she hopes he'll be there soon
She say's, she say's, she's got no time for winter nights
Doesn't notice as the days grow darker
She can't remember getting any older
There's no love inside the icehouse
There's no love inside the icehouse
Standing at the limit of an endless ocean
Stranded like a runaway, lost at sea
City on a rainy day, down in the harbor
Watching as the gray clouds shadow the bay
Looking everywhere 'cause I had to find you
This is not the way that I remember it here
Anyone will tell you, it's a prisoner island
Hidden in the summer for a million years
Great southern land
Burned you black
So you look into the land and it will tell you a story
Story 'bout a journey ended long ago
If you listen to the motion of the wind in the mountains
Maybe you can hear them talking like I do
"They're gonna betray you, they're gonna forget you
Are you gonna let them take you over that way"
Great southern land, great southern land
You walk alone like a primitive man
And they make it work with sticks and bones
See their hungry eyes, it's a hungry home
I hear the sound of the stranger's voices
I see their hungry eyes, their hungry eyes
Great southern land, great southern land
They burned you black, black against the ground
Standing at the limit of an endless ocean
Stranded like a runaway, lost at sea
City on a rainy day, down in the harbor
Watching as the gray clouds shadow the bay
Looking everywhere 'cause I had to find you
This is not the way that I remember it here
Anyone will tell you, it's a prisoner island
Hidden in the summer for a million years
Great southern land, in the sleeping sun
You walk alone with the ghost of time
They then burned you black, black against the ground
And they make it work with rocks and sand
I hear the sound of the stranger's voices
I see their hungry eyes, their hungry eyes
Great southern land, great southern land
You walk alone, like a primitive man
You walk alone with the ghost of time
And they burned you black
Yeah, they burned you black
Great southern land
Great southern land
Great southern land
There must be something we can talk about
And maybe, there's something here that we can do
No matter what your friends say, don't go too far
Remember there's just one thing
Whenever you come this way
You know I wouldn't get you down
I just like talking to you
It's raining outside
I shake my shoes, downstairs
You never stop dancing
You don't make much sense
No matter what your friends say
Don't go too far
Remember there's just one thing
Whenever you come this way
Maybe we can get together
We can get together
You know, I wouldn't get you down
I just like talking to you
Maybe we can get together
We can get together later sometime
You can buckle my shoes
You can pick up my sticks
You can knock on my door
There must be something we can talk about
Maybe there's something here we can do
Don't go back home, babe
Don't go too far
Remember there's just one thing
Whenever you come this way
Maybe we can get together
We can get together
You know I wouldn't get you down
I just like talking to you
Maybe we can get together
We can get together later sometime
You can buckle my shoes
You can pick up my sticks
You can knock on my door
You know I walk in the rain
I said, it rains in my heart
You ought to be in my shoes
Won't you open that door?
We can get together
We can get together
Baby, we can get together
We can get together later sometime
You can buckle my shoes
You can pick up my sticks
One of those days
That just comes and goes
It's not so special
She watches the birds
Shat rest on a ledge
Outside her room
The wallpaper old and faded
A crack in the window pane
The radio just keeps playing
Playing that same old song
She smiles to herself
They think that I'm strange
They say I'm a dreamer
But I don't complain
Though I don't have much
To call my own
She's not a movie star, no
She's not a beauty queen
She'll tell you it doesn't matter
She's not the only one
She says, "I know a place
Where I keep the best of things
I'm not gonna wait
For my piece of heaven"
"And where there's a road
Leads to the promised land
I just turn the key
Key to the kingdom"
She stares at the page
Of a new magazine
The morning papers
She walks into town
And catches a show
If she can find the time
She's not a movie star, no
She's not a beauty queen
She'll tell you it doesn't matter
She's not the only one
She says, "I know a place
Where I keep the best of things
I'm not gonna wait
For my piece of heaven"
"And where there's a road
Leads to the promised land
I just turn the key
Key to the kingdom"
I know a place
Where I keep the best of things
I'm not gonna wait
For my piece of heaven
Where there's a road
It leads to the promised land
I just turn the key
Key to the kingdom
I know a place
Where I keep the best of things
I'm not gonna wait
For my piece of heaven
And where there's a road
Leads to the promised land
I just turn the key
Key to the kingdom
I know a place
Where I keep the best of things
I'm not gonna wait
For my piece of heaven
Where there's a road
It leads to the promised land
I just turn the key
On the edge of the bay
A day just like the next
They gather their nets
And face their boats around
Over the rooftops
Hear the hum of wings
In seventeen seconds
The world explodes
And it buries the night, a brave new sunrise
With a sweep of the sword, a blood red sunrise
You'll never see the faces
Of the fishermen
But you may see their shadows
Burned against the wall
And in the temple grounds
New bamboo grows again
As if the heat of the flame
Had left no trace at all
And there's a light in the eastern sky, sunrise
And there's no place a man can hide, the sunrise
Well, it buries the night, a brave new sunrise
With a sweep of the sword, a blood red sunrise
But in the cool of the evening
When the children sleep
The old mountain remembers
And hangs his head in clouds
And there's a light in the eastern sky, yeah, sunrise
And there's no place a man can hide, the sunrise
Well, it buries the night, a brave new sunrise

Electric Blue
-------------
If a boy had a chance
a chance with someone like you
are you gonna break his heart?
let him cry for the moon?
are you hiding somewhere behind those eyes?
I just freeze
everytime you see through me
and it's all over you
electric blue
on my knees
help me, baby
tell me, what can I do?
electric blue
Oh, I had a dream
for a moment I believed it was true
oh, I'd have given anything
just to be there with you
are you hiding
somewhere behind those eyes?
I just freeze
everytime you see through me
and it's all over you
electric blue
in too deep
standing here waiting
as I'm breaking into
electric blue
I can see
can see that it may be just a vision for you
electric blue
on my knees
help me, baby
tell me what can I do?

we live in a little kingdom
we live in the big bad world
we're just the thing
the regular boys
and we're one in a million
and we like the way we are
this is not a beautiful party
this is just the big bad world
the next big thing
the regular boys
and we're one in a million
and we like the way we are
boys
boys
boys
ooh shoulder to shoulder
ooh gotta stick together
I got the girl if I can get the money
could fall in love with a regular girl
that's no big deal for a regular boy
and we're one in a million
and we like the way we are
that's no big deal for a regular boy
and we're one in a million
and we like the way we are
we live in this animal kingdom
we live in the big bad world
but who wants to know
the regular boys
boys

Twenty story buildings coming down on me
Mountain ranges sliding into the sea
Rivers of blood, Burning red
I got a broken heart, and a broken head
I got a broken heart, and a broken head
CHORUS
I had a little accident
Nothing too serious
Take a look at this place, take a look at this mess
Nothing too serious
If you close your eyes it may go away
Nothing too serious
We can do it again some other day
Nothing too serious
Well, I shook myself and I fell out of bed,
I can't remember a thing, was it something I said?
I don't know my name and I don't know my place,
There's a crack in the mirror, a crack in my face
Let me through,
She had a heavy night
Let me through,
She's going to be alright
Let me through,
She'll never leave your sight
You'd better take her home!
I had a little accident
Nothing too serious
Take a look at this place, take a look at this mess
Nothing too serious
If you close your eyes it may go away
Nothing too serious
We can do it again some other day
Nothing too serious

No Promises

Iva Davies / Robert Kretschmer

a winter palace
from the arabian nights
white waves on an ocean
gems from a golden age
life in your new world
turning round and round
making some sense
where there's no sense at all
no promises
but if you should fall
stars die in the silence
of arabian nights
wind washes the seasons
in these days of a golden age
life in your new world
turning round and round
making some sense
where there's no sense at all
no promises
but if you should fall
I could give you more
than just the shape of things
break every word
begin it all again
your name on a white sheet
pure lace shot with passion
but as love lies
bleeding in your hands
heaven sends you
no promises
of arabian nights
no white waves on an ocean
no gems from a golden age
life in your new world
turning round and round
so make some sense
where there's no sense at all
I give you
no promises
but if you should fall
no promises
but if you should fall
you fall
no promises
but if you should fall
no promises
but if you should fall
you fall
life in your new world
as it turns round and round
no promises
Icehouse "My obsession" (Davies/Kretschmer)
I used to be the one who made you feel
So safe and strong
I could always make it right
When everything was going wrong
I don't know why it seems
So different now
I'm on my own
And I don't know what it is
That scares me when I'm all alone
I can't believe that everyone I know
Would lie to me
When they all tell me that I'm not the man
I used to be
Don't want to hear about the things
That I already know
You've got to say it isn't so
Oh no, it's the...
Chorus:
The ghost of you that gets me every time
Just won't let go until it brings me down
I try to hide it but there's only one
My obsession is you
Yeah, my friends all turn away
They tell me not to waste my time
They say they just don't understand
How anyone could be so blind
And there's one thing you can't change
Forget about her now you know she's gone
Hey boy, that girl is just no good
She's only gonna do you harm
So I watch the hours turn
Until I lose the last lony roy of light
And I know I can't pretend
Those shadows won't come out tonight
There's a noise upstairs in the attic,
it's the shuffle of worn out shoes.
and the scent of the oil and brushes,
drifts down like a pale perfume.
and he says, "I...
I am a man
a Simple man,
.. a man of colours.
and I can see
see through the years
years of a man,
.. a man of colours"
and the old man rubs his failing eyes,
takes a moment to watch the view.
from a window nobody knows he's there,
he can see the empty street below.
and he says, "I...
I am a man
a Simple man,
.. a man of colours.
and I can see
see through the years
years of a man,
.. a man of colours"
he says, "I keep my life in this paintbox
I keep your face in these picture frames
when I speak to the empty canvas... it tells me...
I have no need for words anyway..."
and he says, "I...
I am a man
a Simple man,
.. a man of colours.
and I can see
see through these tears
tears of a man,
.. a man of colours"
and he says, "I...
I am a man
a Simple man,
.. a man of colours.
and I can see
see through the years

breathing cool sheets of rain
lights his last cigarette and
turns his back to the wind

just how to explain

and I can't play this game
but he's not even listening

and she won't ever know
what was on his mind
well now he's a rebel without a cause
hey c'mon let's make a deal
see your name in lights just like Jimmy Dean
live and die behind the wheel

Promises, promises
Old tired, worn out second hand sentences
One thing with you is certain
You're a really sad person, so sad
Disappointed a few people
When friendship reared its ugly head
Disappointed a few people
Well, isn't that what friends are for?
What are friends for?
What are friends for?
You, you're just a really bad person
Who won't? You won't, listen to anyone, no, not you
With those half moon eyelids
Just babbling on your useless defenses, so sad
Disappointed a few people
When friendship reared its ugly head
Disappointed a few people
Well, isn't that what friends are for?
What are friends for?
What are friends for?
This erratic haphazard, fluttering
This toeing and frowning like a confused moth
The collusion, illusion, it's all ad infinitum
You're a really sad person, you're really so sad
Disappointed a few people
When friendship reared its ugly head
Disappointed a few people
Well, isn't that what friends are for?
What are friends for?

Fools and horses
Running their courses
And brow beaten down
Like dust on the ground
You cheat easily
Like sweet charity

The world all despises
Springing surprises
In newer disguises
You cheat easily
Like all charity
Fools and horses
Running their courses
And brow beaten down
Like dust on the ground

Fools and horses
Running their courses
And brow beaten down
Like dust on the ground
You cheat easily

IceHouse, 1987
Crazy
-----
I've got a pocket
full of holes
head in the clouds
the king of fools
you've got a ribbon of rainbows
the sun in your eyes
burning through
could be I'm happy and sad
could be I'm losing my head
over you
well, you've gotta be crazy, baby
to want a guy like me
yeah, you've gotta be out of your mind
crazy
So if I'm dreaming
don't wake me tonight
if this is all wrong
I don't want it right
'cause you're the one sure thing
when I get lost in the game
once again
hey, I'm a lucky guy
without a reason and I
don't understand
well, you've gotta be crazy, baby
to want a guy like me
yeah, you've gotta be out of your mind
crazy
Well, there must be some kind of mistake
to give your heart away
yeah, you've gotta be out of your mind
crazy
I've got a pocket
full of holes
head in the clouds
the king of fools
you've got a ribbon of rainbows
the sun in your eyes
burning through
could be I'm happy and sad
could be I'm losing my head
over you
well, you've gotta be crazy, baby
to want a guy like me
yeah, you've gotta be out of your mind
crazy
Well, there must be some kind of mistake
to give your heart away
yeah, you've gotta be out of your mind

Well, there must be some kind of mistake
to give your heart away
yeah, you've gotta be out of your mind
crazy
well you've gotta be crazy baby
to want a guy like me
Her arms around a flag of blue
His colors flying black and white
She hears the voice between the lines
He hears the warning, he turns his black
Anybody's war who is there to catch the pieces
Anybody's war faces we don't recognize
She catches every last regret
She holds it gently like a dying star
He stands like a small boy in the street
Throwing rocks and stones into the crowd
Anybody's war who is there to catch the pieces
Anybody's war faces we don't recognize
Anybody's war turning round and round in circles
Anybody's war people just like you and I
Just a little too afraid to take the blame that they can't hide
Like a frightened child who is running scared
And they know each other well
Through the innocence long gone
Is the only thing they ever shared
She'll promise that she'll try again
He'll promise that he'll settle down
And they will call themselves the best of friends

Angel Street
------------
Iva Davies / Robert Kretschmer
------------
she draws the curtain wide
and brushes back her hair
she stands before the mirror
wondering what to wear
but she knows no one will care
so easy to forget
just another sad affair
the girl on angel street
so she waits for the call
knowing only too well
a photograph a dusty window
where the sun strays in
everywhere the sounds of morning
as the day begins
people waiting at the station
do they go nowhere
two lines that stretch out in the distance
turn and disappear
but she knows no one will care
so easy to forget
just another sad affair
with the girl on angel street
so she waits for the call
and she waits for so long
knowing only too well
she tells herself there must be more
toujour l'amour l'amour
but she knows no one will care
so easy to forget
just another sad affair
with the girl on angel street
so easy to forget
the girl on angel street
she knows no one will care
so easy to forget
just another sad affair
the girl on angel street
she knows no one will care
so easy to forget
just another sad affair
with the girl on angel street
so easy to forget
with the girl on angel street
so easy to forget
just another sad affair
with the girl on angel street
so easy to forget
just another sad affair
Here in this empty room, the memories will remain
You may never learn, you make the same mistakes again
One by one... You count them one by one...
Days that were lost and found, old memories will remain
Here in this empty room, you count them one by one
One by one... You count them one by one...
Here in this empty room, you count them one by one
Oh hoh... Oh hoh...
One by one... You count them one by one...
One by one... You count them one by one...
Here in this empty room (One by one) Old memories will remain
And you never learn (One by one)
You make the same mistake again (One by one)
Those days are lost and found
Memories may still (One by one) The memories will remain
You make the same mistake again (One by one)
When somebody loves you
It's no good unless he loves you all the way
Happy to be near you
When you need someone to cheer you all the way
Taller than the tallest tree is
That's how it's got to feel
Deeper than the deep blue sea is
That's how deep it goes if it's real
When somebody needs you
It's no good unless he needs you all the way
Through the good or lean years
And for all the in-between years come what may
Who knows where the road will lead us
Only a fool would say
But if you'll let me love you
Now as the early light is catching the folds
Black lace and satin wrapped, wrapped up against her face
She turns her frozen steps that break the frost and cold
Beyond the misty bay, still sleeping to the east
"Too many miles", she hears the seabirds call
Her captain's ship, she waits for Wind and Sail
Below the breaking point the tide will ebb and fall
The storm is silent now, as silent as the dawn
Above the rocks and cliffs she watches all the while
She waits for distant sails that never will return
"Too many miles", she hears the seabirds call
Her captain's ship, she waits for Wind and Sail
Below the breaking point the tide will ebb and fall
The storm is silent now, as silent as the dawn
"Too many miles", she hears the seabirds call
stupid on the steinway
so sick upon a steinway
the sailors drown
see them talk and see them drown
and see them drink and fall around
upon the floor
sister of mine, home again
sister of mine, home again
lonely in a crowded room
the radio plays out of tune
so silently
the radio upon the floor
is stupid it plays aznavour
so out of key
sister of mine
home again
sister of mine
home again
broken on a ship of fools
even dreams must fall to rules
so stupidly
words are all just useless sound
just like cards they fall around
and we will be
sister of mine
home again
sister of mine
home again
buy a car and watch it rust
sister see them fall to dust
they fall around
in another crowded room
paint me like the shirt i'm in
honestly
sister of mine
home again
sister of mine
home again
sister of mine
sister of mine
sister of mine
sister of mine
The soldiers standing on the shore, shake up their golden shields
You watch them from your room, high on the city walls
In the distance on the shifting sea, a thousand coloured sails
Is this the moment you made? Is this the way that you planned?
You know it won't be long now
The finest treasures of kings, all of those precious things
They never tempted you
So as you stood in the ruins, how could you dare to look on
As they burned for you...?
The broken pieces of clay and the palest eyes, painted in Trojan blue
You remember how it used to be when you were just a girl
Nothing really mattered then, you can remember so well
How you used to hold your head so high, those days will never return
The finest treasures of kings, all of those precious things
They never tempted you
So as you stood in the ruins, how could you dare to look on
As they burned for you...? Mmm-hmm, mmm-hmm
The broken pieces of clay and the palest eyes, painted in Trojan blue
Dust is drifting in the evening air, across the field below
The silver mirror, you hold will never tell... You turn your face away
The finest treasures of kings, all of those precious things
They never tempted you
So as you stood in the ruins, how could you dare to look on
As they burned for you...? Oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh
The broken pieces of clay and the palest eyes, painted in Trojan blue
Oh oh... So dangerous, like freedom she fades away
The vision that chains the heart, foundations that fall apart
Well, I know this place (east, west, points to the nation)
(North, south, cut the connection)
I said, stealer, steal her, we cross the border
Steal love, still life, we cross the border
And time builds the wall, the wall that is standing still
And she breaks the spell, the spell that may hold us all
You build stone by stone, the line that will last for so long
But for those who dare, her secret is safe with no one
Well, I know this place (east, west, points to the nation)
(north, south, cut the connection)
I said, stealer, steal her, we cross the border
Steal love, still life, we cross the border, oh oh whoa oh
Oh oh oh
I said, stealer, steal her, we cross the border, mmm
Steal love, still life, we cross the border, oh oh whoa oh
Chk-a-chk-a... Chk-a-chk-a...(East, west, points to the nation)
(North, south, lines of persuasion break)
(East, west, points to the nation, north, south, cut the connection)
I said, stealer, steal her, we cross the border, mmm
Steal love, still life, we cross the border, oh oh whoa oh
Stealer, steal her (East, west, points to the nation)
We cross the border, mmm (North, south, lines of persuasion break)
Steal love, still life (East, west, points to the nation)
We cross the border (North, south, cut the connection break)
Stealer, steal her (East, west, points to the nation)
We cross the border, o yea (North, south, lines of persuasion break)
Steal love, still life (East, west, points to the nation)
We cross the border (North, south, cut the connection break)
Stealer, steal her (East, west, points to the nation)
You got a long face, no place
Everywhere a bad case of nowhere news
And the weather man telling me
All of the time
" ... looks like rain ... "
Put on my Cadillac boots
And my magazine jeans
Though the colours don't rhyme
And I won't stop walking
'til I turn the blue world upside down
I say "Hey!"
to the girl in the moon
There's a mad clock ticking
Inside of my brain
And it might just explode
I got a subway running
Right over my roof
I can't hear a sound
And there's Bayman and Robin
Leaking into my room
Through a hole in the wall
And there's Jane and Tarzan
With their favourite monkey
... what's his name?
I say Hey! to the girl in the moon
There's a mad clock ticking
Inside of my brain
And the colours don't rhyme
I'm gonna stand here waiting
'til the girl in the moon
Comes back down
I say "Hey!"
In Berlin, by the wall
you were five foot ten inches tall
It was very nice
candlelight and Dubonnet on ice
We were in a small cafe
you could hear the guitars play
It was very nice
it was paradise
You're right and I'm wrong
hey babe, I'm gonna miss you now that you're gone
One sweet day
Oh, you're right and I'm wrong
you know I'm gonna miss you now that you're gone
One sweet day
One sweet day
In a small, small cafe
we could hear the guitars play
It was very nice
candlelight and Dubonnet on ice
Don't forget, hire a vet
he hasn't had that much fun yet
It was very nice
hey honey, it was paradise
You're right and I'm wrong
oh babe, I'm gonna miss you now that you're gone
One sweet day
You're right, oh, and I'm wrong
you know I'm gonna miss you now that you're gone
One sweet day
One sweet day
One sweet day, one sweet day
oh, one sweet day
One sweet day, baby-baby, one sweet day
Sunk deep in the night
I sink in the night
Standing alone underneath the sky
I feel the chill of ice
On my face
I watch the hours go by
The hours go by...
You sleep
Sleep in a safe bed
Curled and protected
Protected from sight
Under a safe roof
Deep in your house
Unaware of the changes at night
At night
I hear the darkness breathe
I sense the quiet despair
Listen to the silence
At night
Someone has to be there
Someone has to be there
Just give me the sign and I'll be walking out that door
Don't want to remember this the way it was before
As the rain falls on the ocean and the desert feels the sign
We let it die here, let it slip right through our hands
It's too late now... too late to love, too late to cry
So don't look back... another place, another time
Too late now... to start again, to wonder why... too late now
Just give me the word, though it may be so hard to sing
Just give me a reason why it had to end this way
Steady holding onto nothing like a child, yeah, like a fool
Though you've God, I won't forget, it's the only thing I know
It's too late now... too late to love, too late to cry
So don't look back... another place, another time
Too late now... to start again, to wonder why... too late now
Just give me the sign
It's too late now... too late to love, too late to cry
So don't look back... another place, another time
Too late now... to start again, to wonder why... too late now
Too late now...(ah ah)...Too late now...(ah ah)...
Fatman, fatman, fatman, fatman
On Second Avenue, night life is second nature
Black jazz in numbers land
Affairs are all night long
The girl's best friend is a fatman
He gives her pearls and diamonds
Sometimes she looks so blown away
She hangs her head against the window
Toasting brandies to her shadow
Champagne from Paris, France
Cigars, the best Havana
The boys don't like the way you do things
They might not understand
I don't want to hear about it
I don't want to talk about it
I don't want to read about the details in the paper
St. Valentine's Day blows away
Leaves a fatman by the window
Looking straight along the barrel
Fatman, fatman, give me the gun
Fatman, you're not fooling anybody
Fatman, fatman, give me the gun
Don't be like that baby
You're just no fun
Fatman, fatman, give me the gun
Fatman, you're not fooling anybody
Fatman, fatman, give me the gun
Don't be like that baby
You're just no fun
Pink champagne from Paris, France
Cigars, the best Havana
On Second Avenue, affairs are all night long
I don't want to hear about it
I don't want to talk about it
I don't want to read about the details in the paper
St. Valentine's Day blows away
Leaves the fatman by the window,
looking straight along the barrel
Fatman, fatman, fatman, fatman
You're not fooling anybody
Fatman, fatman, fatman, fatman
You're not fooling anybody
Fatman, fatman, give me the gun
Don't be like that baby,
You're just no fun.
Fatman, fatman, fatman, fatman
You're not fooling anybody
Fatman, fatman, give me the gun
Don't be like that baby,
She comes walking down the street
That's the kind, hey,
That's the kind I want to meet
I think I'm making it up
I should be putting it down
and it's beginning to show
I get it fixed in my head
and it won't let go
Oh, I can't help myself
when I feel this way
I want to be someone else
When I get this feeling
it gets in my system
I can't put the brakes on
Now she's walking next to me
that's the place, yeah,
that's the place I want to be
I think I'm making it up
I should be putting it down
and it's beginning to show
I get it fixed in my head
Shine
With these angel eyes
Rushing on
Dance away the tears
When you get the feeling that I tell you
All you gotta do is let it take you
Dance on
Oh, dance on
Any time
Any place will do
Feeling good
Are you feeling blue?
I know the place you should be going
When you hear the sound of somethin' sayin'
Dance on
Oh, dance on
When you're lost in emotion
Losing everything
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
So nobody told you
You won't find it here
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Shine
Yes I know you will
Oh shine on
Maybe who can tell
Oh it's so easy when you follow
Take a little time and blow the whistle
Dance on
Oh, dance on
Play it over and over
Play the same old song
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Keep you dancing forever
When you're feeling down
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Every day
Every night so long
Walking home through the falling rain
I know the only thing you need is
Always the one thing you can't have
So dance on
Oh dance on
Dance on
Oh dance on
Dance on
Oh dance on
Mmm, dance on
If I ever get out of here
Well I might just set alight to this town
Swinging out that ball and chain
Gonna, bring these four walls tumbling down
So you take a fool like me
Yeah and throw away the key
Spend my wasted days doing time
Breaking these rocks in my head
But you know you're better off dead
When the judges bring the hammer down a little
Mercy on the boy
You know it ain't easy
If I ever get out of here
Gonna be a price to pay for this crime
Well there ain't no place to hide
And there ain't no god on your side 'til the kingdom comes
Gonna bend these cold steel bars
Gonna scream it till somebody hears
Ain't a cage that can keep me inside
Breaking these rocks in my head
But you know you're better off dead
When the judges bring the hammer down
Just a little
Mercy on the boy
You know it ain't easy
Every night, he comes home late,
And if she's lucky he'll just pass her by
Every night, she sits and waits
Though he never thought to ask her why
Broken table in the kitchen, neighbours wake and listen
He complains about the mess in the place
In the morning she'll forgive him, think of any reason
To forget about the state of her face
She's got a no return ticket on an overnight train
As it pulls away from Jericho Bay
She leaves a sleepy town station and a simple gold ring
As a souvenir of Jericho Bay
Everyday, she counted the hours
And the weeks she counted on the wall
Everyday, just a little older
Everyday just like the one before
She never told her mother, never told her father
Never wasted one single tear
Her secret safely hidden, no word of explanation
She packs her bag and closes the door
She's got a no return ticket on an overnight train
As it pulls away from Jericho Bay
She's got a secondhand suitcase, her Sunday dress on
And a photograph of Jericho Bay
She leaves a sleepy town station and a simple gold ring
As a souvenir of Jericho Bay
And she can hear the rails singing, way up to the moon
Hanging yellow over Jericho bay
Between the neon and the dawn
Was Saturday night
The spell is broken, crowd has gone
Left out on the street
But who is going to be the one
To put the pieces back again
And who is there to see the faces
Of the ones they left behind
Heaven is a long, long way from here
On the miracle mile
They bury their crosses on the hill
On the miracle mile
With her back against the wall
And the room turning around
She does the deal and feels no pain
And never comes down
But who is going to be the one
To put the pieces back again
And who is there to see the faces
Of the ones they left behind
Heaven is a long, long way from here
On the miracle mile
They make their way, they stand or fall
On the miracle mile
There is only one way out of here
On the miracle mile
They bury their crosses on the hill
On the miracle mile
But tonight the lights are shining down
And no-one knows the way it feels
Oh, yeah, when tomorrow is so far away
Dream on and on yeah you'd better dream on
Heaven is a long, long way from here
On the miracle mile
They make their way, they stand or fall
On the miracle mile
There is only one way out of here
On the miracle mile
They bury their crosses on the hill
Charlie was just a boy
Laid back in an open field and
Followed those distant wings
Around in lazy circles
"When are they gonna come down?" he said,
"Or are they watching over
Me here on the ground instead?"
"Or maybe they just fly forever?"
You dont forget about heroes
You simply shake their hands
Then you watch them fly away
One night there`s a new star
Up in Charlie`s sky
First raid on the jungle night
Flying low in the radio silence
One eye on the gunners sight
One eye on the waiting target
It`s not a matter of wrong or right
You asked no questions, `cause you found no answers
God knows when you have to fight
You say a prayer and you take your chances
You don`t forget about heroes
You simply shake their hands
Then you watch them wave goodbye
One night there`s a new star
Up in Charlie`s sky
You don`t forget about heroes
Like any big wild bird
You have to let them fly away
[Pray that] no one can reach them
Up in Charlie`s sky
Somewhere deep in the mountains
Somewhere wide of the landing lights
missing in action
But I know he made it home
Well, there's no way out of Marrickville
For the son of the hard working man
Where the punk who has the muscle
Is the leader of the local gang
Well, there ain't no time for discussion
And there ain't no time to waste
You just take him on single handed
You push him, 'til he breaks
He said, "hey, that's alright
I can take it for one more round
You can give me your best shot, baby
But the boy keeps knockin 'em down..."
So he grew up wild and reckless
And he grew up quick and mean
'Til an enterprising gentleman
Put his talents in the ring
He said, "boy you're just a renegade
You got no place left to hide...
I can make you fame and fortune
Maybe champion of the world..."
He said, "hey, that's alright
I can take it for one more round
You can give me your best shot, baby
But the boy keeps knockin 'em down..."
He said, "hey, that's alright
I can stand here and hold my ground
You can give me your best shot, baby
But the boy keeps knockin 'em down..."
Well, there's blood on the canvas and leather
And he learned his lesson well
But the boy keeps swingin' those punches
'Til he hears that final bell
He said, "hey, that's alright
I can take it for one more round
You can give me your best shot, baby
But the boy keeps knockin 'em down..."
He said, "hey, that's alright
I can stand here and hold my ground
You can give me your best shot, baby
But the boy keeps knockin 'em down..."
He said, "hey, that's alright
You can give me your best shot, baby
But they boy, hey
Satellite, satellite
Satellite, satellite
She`s got a wall full of pinups
And magazine photos
She teases her hair
As she tries on the poses
Just stands at the T.V.
While she`s filing her nails
And sighs, "Maybe"
And I am standing in line
With the other stuffed toys
While she`s checking her diary
And painting her toe
Is Friday or Saturday night?
Well, who knows?
She says, "Maybe"
And there`s space junk inside her head
And she`s, she`s somewhere out there
Spinning like a
Satellite, satellite
Oh, duzuduz ah darlin`
When are you coming down?
Satellite, satellite
Well, she`s studied the movies
Ordered all the right clothes
Is she modeling Gretta Garbo
Or Maralyn Monroe?
She can waste hours and hours
With her friends on the phone
They say, "Maybe"
Leaves her lipstick and perfume
All over the place
Only sweets in the daytime
Never wears the same dress
She`s in ecstasy now
She`s says, "Oo, that`s the best!"
I say, "Maybe"
And there`s space junk inside her head
She`s somewhere out there
Spinning like a
Satellite, satellite
Space junk inside her head
She`s somewhere out there
Space junk inside her head
Oh, I, I had the strangest dream
And they made a deal and they drew the line
And they built a wall right across the town
We ran, but we could not hide
We were fifty years marching round and round
We were fifty years when the wall came down
Anything is possible in this world
Oh, I, I had the strangest dream
Where they wasted days on the borderline
And they saw themselves living underground
And they ran, but they could not hide
They cut the rocks and they laid the stone
They made themselves a tower, here in Babylon
Anything is possible in this world
Hey yeah, I never could explain
We're all playing a game we could never win
Hey yeah, I'll never understand
We just wander all over the same old ground
Oh, I, I had the strangest dream
And you shook your head and you looked at me
And said 'open your eyes and maybe you will see...'
Anything is possible in this world
Anythin-ooh!
Give up
Hey yeah
Hey yeah
I was spellbound by Miss Divine
Hey yeah
Hey yeah
I was spellbound by Miss Divine
You were always the one who would dance
On a sheet of thin ice
Always one step ahead
Always holding the winning ace
Thinking no-one could reach you
Way up in the sky,
You just looked out of place
You were playing the part
In the perfect disguise
And I was spellbound by Miss Divine
You were planning the crime
For the ultimate prize
And I was spellbound by Miss Divine
When you spoke like a poet
You were reading the lines
And I was spellbound by Miss Divine
I believed every word
Of a pack of lies
I was spellbound by Miss Divine
You were always the one
Who would lead in the big town parade
With the jokers and clowns
As they followed your masquerade
Thinking no-one could reach you
Way up on the wire,
You just made one mistake
You were fixing your gaze
On a new sacrifice
And I was spellbound by Miss Divine
And you looked so detached
As you twisted the knife
And I was spellbound by Miss Divine
And you questioned your conscience
By throwing the dice
And I was spellbound by Miss Divine
And you gave it away
And you never thought twice
And I was spellbound by Miss Divine
And you gave it away
You gave it away
You gave it away
You gave it away
You gave it away
You were playing the part
In the perfect disguise
You were planning the crime
For the ultimate prize
When you spoke like a poet
You were reading the lines
And I believed every word
Of a pack of lies
Hey yeah
Hey yeah
I was spellbound by Miss Divine
Hey yeah
Hey yeah
I was spellbound by Miss Divine
You were fixing your gaze
On a new sacrifice
And you looked so detached
As you twisted the knife
And you questioned your conscience
By throwing the dice
You gave it away
Yeah, you gave it away
Hey yeah
Hey yeah
I was spellbound by Miss Divine
I was tongue-tied, tantalized, mystified
I was so surprised
I was compromised
And you know you gave it away
And you know you gave it away
And you know you gave it away
Hey yeah
Hey yeah
I was spellbound by Miss Divine
Hey yeah
Hey yeah
The masquerader in the mirror
Appears to be a total stranger to me
He slips a film of glow through a glove on his hand
And puts my features where his face ought to be
Young flesh, young frame
Slow pulse, no pain
The face he fits is unmistakably mine
Without a trace he leaves the scene of the crime
The story always reads exactly the same
I need my live protection all the time
Young flesh, young frame
Slow pulse, no pain
CHORUS
Inside my fit on skin
Sometimes I wonder just where to begin
I need action, action, action, action
Inside my fit on skin
I make a novel of everything
It's like fiction, fiction, fiction, fiction
Inside my fit on skin
Another side of my twin
The face he fits is unmistakably mine
Without a trace he leaves the scene of the crime
The story always reads exactly the same
I need my live protection all the time
Young flesh, young frame
Slow pulse, no pain
CHORUS
You say it's easy
If you really want to see
You say I always turn and walk away
You say there's no mystery
It's a simple fact of life
It's gonna slap you in the face one day
I don't want to know, hey
I don't want to know, hey
Funny, but I can't seem to understand (over my head)
When you tell me so many lies
The words go straight over my head
Rules and regulations
Going ‘round and ‘round the world
It doesn't mean a single thing to me
I don't want to know, hey
I don't want to know, hey
Funny, but I can't seem to understand (over my head)
I feel like a cloud in the sky
The sun streaming over my head
I can't seem to understand (over my head)
When you get that crazy look in your eyes
Bells ringing over my head
You say there's no mystery
It's a simple fact of life
Baby, we'd just slap you in the face one day
I don't want to know, hey
I don't want to know, hey
Funny, but I can't seem to understand (over my head)
I feel like a cloud in the sky
The sun streaming over my head
I can't seem to understand (over my head)
When you get that crazy look in your eyes
Bells ringing over my head
I can't seem to understand (over my head)
When you tell me so many lies
The words go straight over my head
I can't seem to understand (over my head)
I can't seem to understand
What friends are for
What friends are for
What friends are for
What friends are for
What friends are for
What friends are for
Promises, promises
Old, tired, worn out, second hand sentances
One thing, with you is certain
You're a really sad person
So sad
Dissapointed a few people
When friendship reared its ugly head
Dissapointed a few people
Well, isn't that what friends are for? (What friends are for)
What friends are for (What friends are for)
What are friends for?
You, you're just a really sad person
Who won't, you won't listen to anyone
No not you
With those half moon eyelids
Just babbling on, your usless defenses
So sad
Dissapointed a few people
When friendship reared its ugly head
Dissapointed a few people
Well isn't that what friends are for (What friends are for)
What friends are for (What friends are for)
What are friends for?
This erratic haphazard, fluttering
This to-ing and fro-ing
Like a confused moth
The collision, illusion
And it's all ad infinitum
You're a really sad person
You're really so sad
Dissapointed a few people
When friendship reared its ugly head
Dissapionted a few people
Well isn't that what friends are for (What friends are for)
What friends are for (What friends are for)
What are friends for?
Fools and horses
Running their courses
And brow beaten down
Like dust on the ground
You cheat easily
Like sweet charity
And all of the bastards
The world despises
In newer disguises
You cheat easily
Like all charity
Fools and horses (What friends are for)
Running their courses (What friends are for)
And brow beaten down (What friends are for)
Like dust on the ground (What friends are for)
You cheat easily(What friends are for)
Like sweet charity(What friends are for)
And all of the bastards(What friends are for)
The world despises(What friends are for)
In newer disguises(What friends are for)
You cheat easily(What friends are for)

BIG WHEEL (I. Davies)---------------------Mmm, alright
Yeah, hot
Revolution in the city
Revolution in the street
When the circle is in motion
Then the circle is complete, yeah
I'm watching a big wheel
Inside of a big wheel
That's part of a big wheel
Turn it round
Turn it round
The sun is up there every morning
The moon is up there every night
Revolution keeps us growin' and
Could be yellow, red
Could be black or white
I'm watching a big wheel
Inside of a big wheel
That's part of a big wheel
Turn it round
I'm hooked on a big wheel
Stuck on a big wheel
In my mind there's a big wheel
Turn it round
Turn it round
Revolution in the city
Revolution in my mind
I'm watching a big wheel
Inside of a big wheel
That's part of a big wheel
Turn it round
I'm hooked on a big wheel
Stuck on a ibg wheel
In my mind there's a big wheel
Turn it round

Hear me crying, pushing back, lost and lonely & I know it so very well
Spending hours by the river, walking through the still of night
Oh was it here that I saw you?
Way downtown there's a promise of something
In the lights on the avenue
As he turned the corner maybe just a step away
There's no mistake when you find it
This time it feels so right, yes I know it, this time I can be so very sure
Oh yeah, there's something good lasts forever
This time, now she's so down in my mind
Oh this time... Mmm-hmmm... This time... Oh ho, this time... Mmm-hmm
Well they say love is blind but I tell you
There's one thing that I'm certain of
Someone very special just as night has come my way
And I believe we can make it
This time it feels so right, yes I know it, this time I can be so very sure
Oh yeah, there's something good lasts forever
This time, now she's so down in my mind
Oh this time... Oh yeah... This time... Mmm-hmmm
This time... Oh oh yeah, yeah we're fine, this time, woo, mmm-hmm
This time it feels so right, yes I know it
This time now she's so down in my mind, mmm
Oh this time, there's something should last forever
This time, now she's so down in my mind
Oh this time, that something good last forever
This time, now she's so down in my mind
