Shines like klondike gold
Well I love you honey

Baby tell the world I do
Ain't no woman in fourteen counties
Love me baby like the way I do

Hey, Carrie Anne
Hey, Carrie Anne
When we were at school our games were simple
I played a janitor, you played a monitor
Then you played with older boys and prefects
What's the attraction in what they're doing
Hey, Carrie Anne, what's your game now, can anybody play
Hey, Carrie Anne, what's your game now, can anybody play
You were always something special to me
Quite independent, never caring
You lost your charm as you were ageing
Where is your magic disappearing
Hey, Carrie Anne, what's your game now, can anybody play
Hey, Carrie Anne, what's your game now, can anybody play
You're so, so like a woman to me
So, so like a woman to me
Hey, Carrie Anne, what's your game now, can anybody play
Hey, Carrie Anne, what's your game now, can anybody play
People live and learn but you're still learning
You use my mind and I'll be your teacher
When the lesson's over you'll be with me
Then I'll hear the other people saying
Hey, Carrie Anne, what's your game now, can anybody play
Hey, Carrie Anne, what's your game now, can anybody play
One cold and sad affair
take my heart and leave it there
I'm gonna feel this way forever
Never thought that I'd be free
Now your faith is changing me
Carrie Carrie
Now only time will tell
It's a dream I know so well
You always try so hard to please me
Only thing I know for sure
I couldn't love you anymore
Carrie Carrie
Waited so long no one to share (why did you keep me waiting)
Could you belong to someone
Show you care I'll be there
Carrie is it more than a dream this time (more than a dream)
Carrie can I tell everyone you're mine (tell them you're mine)
I will never be the same
And now you made me live again
Carrie is it more than a dream this time
Carrie is it more than a dream this time
My heart is open wide
You know how I feel inside
You see my sad old days are over
Never need to hide away
Gettin' stronger everyday Carrie Carrie
chorus
Carrie can I tell everyone your mine (tell them you're mine)
Carrie is it more than a dream this time ( more than a dream)
Another day gone and I think of you
Wonder where you're goin', wonder what you do, without me
A telephone call from a friend I know
Left me feelin' bitter, left me feelin' so unhappy
'Cause if you couldn't wait for 24 hours
What good would telegrams and flowers do?
If it wasn't for the reason that I love you, baby
I wouldn't have another thing to say to you
Might as well stay for a day or two
Find another friend and have a drink or two to pass the time
Talkin' over troubles in a whisky daze
A little drop of cognac helps a man to face the lonely times
'Cause it's sad being home and I've given up tryin'
I've got no lyin' that I wanna do
If it wasn't for the reason that I love you, baby
I wouldn't have another thing to say to you
break
Wish I could find a way, wake up the words to say
You cheated and you lied, you took away the little pride that I had inside
If it wasn't for the reason that I love you, baby
I wouldn't have another thing to say to you
Another day gone and I think of you
Wonder where you're goin', wonder what to do, without me
A telephone call from a friend I know
Left me feelin' bitter, left me feelin' so unhappy
Might as well stay for a day or two
Find another friend and have a drink or two to pass the time
Talkin' over troubles in a whisky daze
A little drop of cognac helps a man to face
She is cryin', she is cryin'
She's been cryin' all night long
She's been cryin' for her one and only son
She will weep, she will moan
She will moan the night away
She will weep and moan until the break of day
I had called for the doctor
But the doctor can't be found
So what could I do but sit and look around?
Oh Lord, won't you hear?
Won't you hear me when I pray?
Please send this girl her one and only son
She is cryin', she is cryin'
She is cryin' the whole night long
(Eric Beall)
Carry on
When the valley's deep
I'll be strong
With a mighty love to
Carry on
Never sleep til' the new day dawns
There's a new breeze blowin' tonight
Clear away the past
Honey, free at last
Yes, I've paid for the choices I've made
No apologies from me
You know I'll never, no
Never lose my will
Never, never standin' still
I'll carry on
When the valley's deep I'll be strong
With a mighty love to carry on
Never sleep til' the new day dawns

I stand alone in the eye of the storm
Pressures all around
Tryin' to wear me down
But it's all right
I won't give up the fight
I said, ";Lord, lift me up!";
Let me rise above
I'll never
Nobody's gonna take my pride
I won't stop
I will not be denied
Carry on
When the valley's deep I'll be strong
With a mighty love to carry on, carry on
I'll never sleep till the new day dawns
I carry on
I won't let, I won't let nothing hold me
No, no I won't let
Won't let nothing hold me back
I won't stop now
Carry on, I'll carry on
Yes, I'll carry
I'll carry on, yeah
Yes I'll carry
Carry on, I'm gonna carry on
Yes, I'll carry
Carry on
Don't carry on without me
I said I'll never
Nobody's gonna take my pride
I won't stop I will not be denied
Carry on
When the valley's deep
I'll be strong with the mighty love to
Carry on, carry on
I'll never sleep till the new day dawns
When the valley's deep
Just carry on
I'll carry on
When the mountain's too high
You gotta carry on
I'll carry on
With the mighty love
I'll never sleep
I'll carry on till the new day dawns

YOU ARE THE EVERYTHING LYRICSSometimes I feel like I can't even sing (say, say, the light)
I'm very scared for this world
I'm very scared for me
Eviscerate your memory
Here's a scene
You're in the back seat laying down
The windows wrap around
To sound of the travel and the engine
All you hear is time stand still in travel
and feel such peace and absolute
The stillness still that doesn't end
But slowly drifts into sleep
The stars are the greatest thing you've ever seen
And they're there for you
For you alone you are the everything
I think about this world a lot and I cry
And I've seen the films and the eyes
But I'm in this kitchen
Everything is beautiful
And she is so beautiful
She is so young and old
I look at her and I see the beauty
Of the light of music
The voices talking somewhere in the house
Late spring and you're drifting off to sleep
With your teeth in your mouth
You are here with me
You are here with me
You have been here and you are everything
(repeat 1st verse)
STAND LYRICSStand in the place where you live

Wonder why you haven't before

Carry a compass to help you along
Your feet are going to be on the ground
Your head is there to move you around

Your feet are going to be on the ground
Your head is there to move you around
If wishes were trees the trees would be falling
Listen to reason

WORLD LEADER PRETEND LYRICS(from the _Green_ inner sleeve/booklet/insert)
I sit at my table and wage war on myself
It seems like it's all...it's all for nothing
I know the barricades, and
I know the mortar in the wall breaks
I recognize the weapons, I used them well
This is my mistake. Let me make it good
I raised the wall, and I will be the one to knock it down
I've a rich understanding of my finest defenses
I proclaim that claims are left unstated,
I demand a rematch
I decree a stalemate
I divine my deeper motives
I recognize the weapons
I've practiced them well. I fitted them myself
It's amazing what devices you can sympathize...empathize
This is my mistake. Let me make it good
I raised the walls, and I will be the one to knock it down
Reach out for me and hold me tight. Hold that memory
Let my machine talk to me. Let my machine talk to me
This is my world
And I am the world leader pretend
This is my life
And this is my time
I have been given the freedom
To do as I see fit
It's high time I've razed the walls
That I've constructed
It's amazing what devices you can sympathize...emapathize
This is my mistake. Let me make it good
I raised the walls, and I will be the one to knock it down
You fill in the mortar. You fill in the harmony
You fill in the mortar. I raised the walls
And I'm the only one
I will be the one to knock it down
THE WRONG CHILD LYRICSI've watched the children come and go
A late long march into spring
I sit and watch those children
Jump in the tall grass
Leap the sprinkler
Walk in the ground
Bicycle clothespin spokes
The sound the smell of swingset hands
I will try to sing a happy song
I'll try and make a happy game to play
Come play with me I whispered to my new found friend
Tell me what it's like to go outside
I've never been
Tell me what it's like to just go outside
I've never been
And I never will
I'm not supposed to be like this
I'm not supposed to be like this
But it's okay
Hey those kids are looking at me
I told my friend myself
Those kids are looking at me
They're laughing and they're running over here
They're laughing and they're running over here
What do I do?
What can I do?
What should I do?
What do I say?
What can I say?
I said I'm not supposed to be like this
Let's try to find a happy game to play
Let's try to find a happy game to play
I'm not supposed to be like this
But it's okay...okay
ORANGE CRUSH LYRICSFollow me, don't follow me
I've got my spine, I've got my orange crush
Collar me, don't collar me
I've got my spine, I've got my orange crush
We are agents of the free
I've had my fun and now its time to
Serve your conscience overseas (over me, not over me)
Coming in fast, over me
(repeat verse)
High on the roof,
thin the blood,
another one ____ on the waves tonight,
comin' in, you're home
We'd circle and we'd circle and we'd circle to stop and consider and
centered on the pavement stacked up all the trucks jacked up and
our wheels in slush and orange crush in pocket and all this here county
hell any county it's just like heaven here and I was remembering and I
was just in a differnet county and all then this whirlybird that I
headed for I had my goggles pulled off I knew it all I knew every back
road and every truck stop
(repeat verse and chorus)
TURN YOU INSIDE-OUT LYRICSDivide your cultured pearls in haste
I'm looking for to lay to waste
Of all the things I cannot taste
and this not the racy race
They spoke loud
I believe in what you do
I believe in watching you
It's what you do
I could turn you inside-out
What I choose not to do
I could turn you inside-out
What I choose not to do
Given the choice
Given the heart
Given the tool
Given the word
Given the cheers
I believe in what you do
I believe in watching you
It's what you do
I could turn you inside-out
What I choose not to do
I could turn you inside-out
What I choose not to do
HAIRSHIRT LYRICSI am not the type of dog
That could keep you waiting
For no good reason
Run a carbon-black test on my jaw
And you will find it's all been said before
I can swing my megaphone and long arm the rest
It's easier and better
To just beat it from the chest
Of desire
I could walk into this room
And the waves of conversation are enough
To knock you down in the undertow
So alone so alone in my life
Feed me banks of light
And hang your hairshirt on the lowest rung
It's a beautiful life
And I can hang my hairshirt
Away up high in the attic of the wrong dog's life chest
Or bury it at sea
All my life I've searched for this
Here I am here I am in your life
It's a beautiful life
My life
It's a beautiful life
Your life
I REMEMBER CALIFORNIA LYRICSI remember redwood trees, bumper cars and wolverines
The ocean's Trident submarines
Lemons, limes and tangerines
I remember this
I remember traffic jams
Motor boys and girls with tans
Nearly was and almost rans
I remember this
History is made
History is made to seem unfair
I recall that you were there
Golden smile and shining hair
I recall it wasn't fair
Recollect it wasn't fair
Remembering it wasn't fair outside
Low ebb, high tide
The lowest ebb and highest tide
A symbol wave I must confide
I guess we took us for a ride
I guess it's just a gesture
I remember this defense
Progress fails pacific sense
All those sweet conspiracies
I remember all these things
I remember traffic jams
Motor boys and girls with tans
Nearly was and almost rans
I remember this...this
Low ebb, high tide
The lowest ebb and highest tide
I guess we took us for a ride
I guess its just a gesture.
At the end of the continent
At the edge of the continent
(UNTITLED) LYRICS(Bits and pieces printed in the 1988 fan club holiday card)
This world is big and so-awake
I stayed up late to hear your voice
This light is here to keep you warm
This song is here to keep you strong
I made a list of things to say
But all I really want to say
All I really want to say is
Hold her and keep him strong
While I'm away from here
Hold her and keep her strong
While I'm away from here
I've seen the world and so-awake
And stay up late to hear me sing
Just hold her
I've seen the world and so-awake
And stay up late to hear me sing
Just hold him
Hold her and keep her strong
While I'm away from here
Hold him and keep him strong
While I'm away from here
Carry on ...
So what can I do, what can I say
Do I have to stand and
Watch you walk away
I know there's got to be
A better way
I just can't go on living for today
I thought I heard a voice
Out on the wind
And I'm sure I heard it say
I'd find a friend
And it said I'd find
The answers in the end
All I gotta do is carry on
Carry on, carry on, the time is flyin'
You need another love
Maybe another town
Carry on, carry on
Don't wait until your hope is gone
When your last chance
Comes round
I'm gonna keep on looking
I won't quit
Aggravation
It ain't gonna hurt a bit
And I believe that
I have seen the last of it
There's nothing left to do
You’re too vain, you’re insaneYou think the world will stop turning¡cause you ain’t aroundBlind eyes, cheap linesYou got the whole band playingBut you don’t hear the soundYour venom penWill never poison meI won’t be sticking round that longCorina, what’s this talk of gloryBetween the sheets in halls of fameCorina, just a hard luck storyBratpack feverRunning through your brainYour fast cars, rock starsYou were seen at the partyBut you weren’t even thereFalse name, the same gameSomebody’s minding your businessYou don’t even careYou think it’s allSome kind of circus rideYou think that someone’skeeping score
La, la, la, la, la, la....
Carry on

Hello how are you doing today
I hope I find you feeling healthy
I'm so glad our paths crossed this time today
On our way into the night
We find love it's hiding here
In the darkness in the shadows
Maybe it's up to you and I
To bring it to the light
Love when I approach the tears
They fall like rain
You tell me baby your hearts into a thousand pieces
Now stop only old and wise with clouded eyes
You can't see what I can, when I
Blindly throw my faith to the face
Of the next good thing to comes my way
So here we are all of us stand around
We're leaning heavy on each other
Always wondering what is it that lies behind
The worried eyes of one another
Well I believe it's love that's hiding here
deep inside both you and me.
Maybe it's up to you and me to share it with the light
Love when I approach the tears they fall like rain
You tell me baby your heart's into a thousand pieces
And I stop only old and wise with clouded eyes
You can't see what I can, cause' I
Blindly throw my faith to the face
Of the next good thing that comes my way
I say it's love that's lacking here
Although I know enough to spare
Maybe you and I could spread it large and wide
Love with my approach the tears they fall like rain
You tell me baby your heart's into a thousand pieces
Love
Baby
Love
Baby
Love
Baby
There was a time
When I was so broken hearted
Love wasn't much of a friend of mine
The tables have turned, yeah
'Cause me and them ways have parted
That kind of love was the killin' kind
Now listen
All I want is someone I can't resist
I know all I need to know by the way that I got kissed
I was cryin' when I met you
Now I'm tryin' to forget you
Love is sweet misery
I was tryin' just to get you
Now I'm dyin' cause I let you
Do what you do - down on me
Now there's not even breathin' room
Between pleasure and pain
Yeah you cry when we're makin' love
Must be one and the same
It's down on me
Yeah I got to tell you one thing
It's been on my mind
Girl I gotta say
We're partners in crime
You got that certain something
What you give to me
Takes my breath away
Now the word out on the street
Is the devil's in your kiss
If our love goes up in flames
It's a fire I can't resist
I was cryin' when I met you
Now I'm tryin' to forget you
Your love is sweet misery
I was tryin' just to get you
Now I'm dyin' cause I let you
Do what you do to me
'Cause what you got inside
Ain't where your love should stay
Yeah, our love, sweet love, ain't love
till you give your heart away
I was cryin' when I met you
Now I'm tryin' to forget you
Your love is sweet misery
I was tryin' just to get you
Now I'm dyin' just to let you
Do what you do what you do down to me,
baby, baby, baby
I was cryin' when I met you
Now I'm tryin' to forget you
Your love is sweet misery
I was tryin' when I met you
Now I'm dyin' cause I let you
Do what you do down to , down to, down to, down to
I was cryin' when I met you
Now I'm dyin' to forget you
Your love is sweet
I was cryin' when I met you
This shit right here is for you.
All your faces I can see.
You all think it's about me.
I'm about to break.
Is this my fate?
Am I still damned to a life
Of misery and hate.
You will never know.
What I've done for you.
What you all put me through.
I'd do it for you.
I could have never lived.
Half my summary, half my sense
Took a whole lot of money aid, said it was defense
A man with the grin, smiled at me
A tip of his hat, threatened to let go of me
He made it all go down, took off my coat
But I bid him, for good
It was here I'd lock the load
Denied for all his own
Little baby,
Rattle sharp candy
And I wanna stick around
What the world needs now,
Wings and the know-how
Greet him with a grin
This little fatherless, sings in a modernly
Until you're old
With a synonym we let it all begin again
Alone and pointless by her mouldering self,
she stares at the tin of sardines on the shelf.
By a parafin lamp in a dingy brown room,
Gran sits and broods in the thickening gloom.
It's a gloom that congeals it's so greasy and thick,
You could cut into strips and roast on a stick.
And hand round to friends, but there's nobody there,
just Gran, on her own, in a miserable chair.
So don't point it at me, point it at Gran.
She needs it more than I do, and more than Princes Anne.
When Princess Anne's 82 and living in a room room flat in Hackney,
maybe she could do ... with a bit as well.
Don't point it me, don't point at it yourself.
Just point it at Gran and the sardines on the shelf.
Don't point it at me, I've had more than enough.
Just point it at Gran, she could do with plenty of stuff.
Don't point it at me, point it Gran.
Well, it could be a firehose, or it could be a flan.
Now, some people are happy and some people are bored,
and some people are left and completely ignored.
Karina, if I told you what I wanted to
I wonder if you would've stuck around
Well, I could take you walking down to Hoxton Square
With the lazy afternoon still kickin' around
Karina, if I left it where I wanted to
Yeah, I wonder if you'd sit around and smile
When you're dreamin' of America, your father's ghost
Breaks the door with all his chains just rattlin' around
'Cause if it were easy
You wouldn't need me
If it would bring you any ease
I'd beg to Jesus, "won't you let Karina free?"
Karina, all this silence, it's so deafening
And all the leaves have fallen from the trees
I could hold your cigarette on Oxford Street
But I'm back here, where your lover wants me to be
And Karina, there's this patience in the things we say
It's the harboring of all the things we do
Yeah, and everytime I tell myself there’s nothing left
May I always say your name and think of you
'Cause if it were easy
You wouldn't need me
If it would bring you any ease
I'd beg to Jesus, "won’t you let Karina free?"
I'd beg to Jesus, "won’t you let Karina free?"
Karina, if I told you what I wanted to
I wonder if you would've stuck around
Yeah, I could take you walking down to Hoxton Square
With the lazy afternoon still kickin' around
And Karina, if I left it where I wanted to
I wonder if you'd sit around and smile
When you're dreamin' of America, your father's ghost
Breaks the door when all his chains just rattle around
'Cause if it were easy
You wouldn't need me
If it would bring you any ease
I'd beg to Jesus "won’t you let Karina free?"
I'd beg to Jesus "won’t you let Karina free?"
( bown )
so then the sky turned weird
and the sun went down
but it weren't two hours 'fore it came around
it was a midnight feast
such a sheer delight
i saw the northern lights then i hit the ground
green, green, keep it clean
stick all your money up your money machine
green green perfect scene
oh it's very very nice here
but i wouldn't wanna live here
you got your blazing red
you got your frozen breath
watch the countryside just bleed to death
and then the ground turns white
and the sky turns brown
and the whole damn world looks upside down
brown brown dead end town
just like a-living in a hole in the ground
brown brown upside down
well it isn't very nice here
and i wouldn't wanna live here
green, green, keep it clean
stick all your money up your money machine
green green perfect scene
oh it's very very nice here
but i wouldn't wanna live here
I tried my best to get things over
Did everything that I could do
I didn't really want to hurt you
But you must have realized that we were though
Now don't it make you feel like cryin'
Watching a good love slowly die?
You and me could spend a lifetime tryin'
But we'd be better off just to simply say goodbye
Just like two fools, we couldn't make it
The movie just went on too long
I've been 'round and you've been through it
But now I know we're getting strong
Now don't it make you feel like cryin'
Watching a good love slowly die?
You and me could spend a lifetime tryin'
But we'd be better off just to simply say goodbye
It's time we burned our old love letters
And started out on a brand new life
No one else can come between us
'Cause I'm not your man, you're not my wife
Still it makes me feel like cryin'
Watching a good love slowly die?
You and me could spend a lifetime tryin'
But we'd be better off just to simply say goodbye
Still it makes me feel like cryin'
But we'd be better off just to simply say goodbye
(Bye-bye, bye-bye, bye-bye, bye-bye)
There was something in your eyes that I saw tonight
I never thought that I would see it
Now there’s holes in my walls and there’s glass on the floor
And you said you didn’t mean it
You went from zero to none in these past three months on your level of affection
I don’t wanna be that girl that cries herself to sleep putting up with your rejection cause
I can’t carry on living life like this, living life like this
This can’t be what it is; I don’t wanna live my life like this.
I can’t carry on living life like this, living life like this
This can’t be what it is; I don’t wanna live my life like this.
When I try to make sense out of what we have I also fall into depression
Because I know in my heart that we both grown apart ain’t no use in us pretending
We never talk on the phone and you’re never at home
And if you are there’s always tension
I ain’t gonna be that girl that ends up staying sitting around just regretting cause
I can’t carry on living life like this, living life like this
This can’t be what it is; I don’t wanna live my life like this.
I can’t carry on living life like this, living life like this
This can’t be what it is; I don’t wanna live my life like this.
I’m tired of fighting, I’m tired of spiting
My life is a storm full of raining and lightening
My insides are pleading of the screaming
And sometimes I just feel like I’m no longer breathing
I look in your eyes all I see is a demon
I’m tired of wearing my heart on my sleeve and I just don’t know why I stay
Cause day after day continue to say
I can’t carry on living life like this, living life like this
This can’t be what it is; I don’t wanna live my life like this.
I can’t carry on living life like this, living life like this
Take off my nothing inside
take off my nothing inside

Time stands still, baby when I touch you
I can't believe the way I'm feelin'
Please don't speak, it's taken me all this time
To find the strength just to say
That I never knew what love was til I met you
Never thought that I could act this way
But I'm still afraid to show how much I need you
Tell me, what makes a man like me this way
Carrie Ann, don't ask me why
Baby I work so hard just to hide my emotions
Carrie Ann, words can't explain
The way that I feel in my heartLovers' hearts never quite beat in time
They never find that perfect rhythm
You know I let you down many times
But this I promise to you
That I'll never lead you through doors of deception
I won't bind you to a chain of lies
Though I know my love for you won't be perfection
What I give to you will last all time
Carrie Ann, don't ask me why
Baby I work so hard just to hide my emotions
Carrie Ann, my words can't explain
The way that I feel in my heart
Take a little time to realize
I'll love you faithfully
Just take a little time and you'll see
That baby it's me
Carrie Ann, don't ask me why
Baby I work so hard just to hide my emotions
Carrie Ann, my words can't explain
The way that I feel in my heart
Lurking in the shade
Of dark and fragrant trees
Shirking from the rage
That tore the heavens free
A vagrant Angel
Hid with span to see
The garden swell with terror
To banish Man and Eve
Another fall from grace
Whiplashed from the gates
Half-naked and insane
Full-blooded, breasted
Nerve ends tested
To behests of pain
A sombre lot to gain
As the storm slid in
Borne by carnal winds
The upper ether thinned
And therein sat abomination
Satan seated there
Savouring the reek of desolation
Their dank despair
Moved His speech to leech the air
"Behold the golden door
To paradise is lost
So praise Me as you raised your Lord
And I shall thaw this gnawing frost"
Another fall from grace
Whiplashed from the gates
Half-naked and insane
And destined for a spiteful Fate
Wherein evil sought the shamed
As pawns in greater stakes
Across this cosmic game
To win the hand
Of darkness and
Set Her in Her rightful place
At the throat of the human race
With claws engorged and poised to rake
Wit that the pact was sealed
And as creation reeled
Bewitched oration filled
The hearts of all
Who came to crawl
Upon these earthen fields
A sombre lot to till
A wracked black acid song
Spat from the massive throng
Of Seraph knelt along
The deep red welt to domination
If life's little downs they keep coming around
Carry on, carry on
With darkness all about, you want to scream and shout
Carry on, carry on
Don't cry baby, look at where you've been
Everybody knows you just need a friend
Please, please, please, if you're down on your knees
Carry on, carry on
Your head is full of doubt, you can't figure it out
Carry on, carry on
Between the time it takes to make all those mistakes
Carry on, carry on
It don't matter what you say or do
It just seems to work out if you want it to
Let out all the slack, take it off your back
Carry on, carry on
Let me bend your ear, never shed a tear
Carry on, carry on
Mama went to sleep one night and never woke up
Daddy cried a tear into her old coffee cup
Now all he wants to do is drink the hurt all away
If Mama was here I know what Mama would say
Carry on
Carry on
What don’t kill us makes us strong
Carry on
Little sister’s husband ran off with her best friend
Left her and the babies all alone again
It hurts to know the hurt that she’s going through
But I know that she’ll do what she’s gotta do
Carry on
Carry on
What don’t kill us makes us strong
Carry on
Nobody ever said that life was gonna be fair
You’re never gonna get nowhere by running scared
If you look down deep inside you’ll find the faith to make you strong
Oh, oh carry on
I try to walk the sunny side of the street
Don’t let no shadows tangle up my feet
There ain’t no troubles that we can’t rise above
With a handful of faith and a heartful of love
Carry on
Carry on What don’t kill us makes us strong
Carry on
Carry on What don’t kill us makes us strong
Carry on
Carry on
Carry on
Whatever the words that you hear,
Somehow the meaning is clear,
We're all on the same ship together, moving on,
From the first time that life could be heard,
To the last sounds of men on this earth,
The question is always the same, where are we going, where are we going?
Ooh carry on, carry on,
There's a silver light beside you,
Take the hand that's there to guide you
Through this night to where we came from,
Carry on, carry on,
When the autumn leaves are falling,
And you hear the voices calling you away,
Then do not fear, you'll carry on,
Carry on, carry on...
Love is the daughter of life, comfort to trouble and strife,
She's always beside you to help you carry on,
Oh they say that the stars in the sky,
Are the souls of the people who die,
Will we meet them again when we reach our destination?

Take the hand that's there to guide you
Through this night to where we came from,
Carry on, carry on,
When the autumn leaves are falling,
And you hear the voices calling you away,
Then do not fear, you'll carry on, carry on,
Carry on, carry on...ooh carry on...
Got a bird wanta whistle
Baby's got a bird, y'all
Honey's got a bird to sing
Yeah, baby's got a bird, y'all
Honey's got a bird to sing
Without Corinna,
It sure don't mean, y'all
It sure don't mean a natural thing
I learned how to love you,
Baby, 'fore I called ya,
Honey, 'fore I called your name
Yeah, baby, 'fore I called ya
Honey, 'fore I called your name
Can't buy your love with money
Oh, baby, you're my woman
Let me be your warm heart flame
Have mercy, have mercy,
Baby, on my hard luck
Honey, on my bad luck soul
Yeah, baby, on my hard luck
Honey, on my bad luck soul
I got a rainbow round my shoulders
Shines like silver,
Baby, look like Klondike gold
Yeah, looks just like gold, baby
I learned how to love you,
Baby, 'fore I called ya,
Honey, 'fore I called your name
Oh, baby, 'fore I called ya
Honey, 'fore I called your name
Without Corinna,
Sure don't mean, honey
Sure don't mean a natural thing
Corinna
Oh my little Corinna
Corinna
If the sun refused to shine
And your love's no longer mine
And if I never get no more snow
I couldn't care if the winds don't blow
She said to satisfy my soul, don't you carry on
And love me all morning, and love me when I get home
Love me all morning, and love me when I get home
You know that time won't wait
And pretty soon it's gonna be too late
Still you're drivin' me insane
You know I need your love again
She said to satisfy my soul, don't you carry on
Love me all morning, and love me when I get home
She said, love me all morning, and love me when I get home
Baby, don't you let me down
I think you'd better take a look around
Cause if I never get no more snow
I couldn't care if the winds don't blow
She said to satisfy my soul, don't you carry on
And love me all morning, and love me when I get home
Baby, never have I ever wanted anyone like I want you babe
Come and let me show you just how much I feel inside
I got so much love
Oh baby, when I get near you
Ooh, I can't control what I'm feeling
Baby
I got so much love to give that I would probably want all the time
Carino, Carino, Carino, Carino
I gotta have your love, Carino
Need to feel your touch, Carino
Never get enough, Carino, Carino
I wish that I could spend all my days
And nights wrapped in your arms
Spending time with you 'cause all I see
In this world is me and you and no one elase, ooh
I want you more and more
Oh baby, please understand me
I think that you deserve me
Cause I'm the type that would give you all the love
And affection that you need
Carino, Carino, Carino, Carino
I gotta have your love, Carino
Need to feel your touch, Carino
Lights are flashing down the alleys
The reaper has arrived
The medieval brutality is still alive
The death machines of one
Hundred countries are ready to strike
No remorse no mercy only hate is in their eyes
Satan and his legions will be their guides
He'll make the world a slave to his hellish might
Reaching out for your life
The world is prepared to die
Death will fall from the sky
And the reaper will arrive
Open your eyes if you can
And see everything burn
Zombies will come out
Of their graves to
See the corpses turn
The world is at an end
And there is no return
Don't try to run or escape the final death
Death is a part of your life you should be glad
Black rain is falling down
And the moon is turning red
Hear the sound of bombs as they fall
Don't cry you'll die so crawl
Fear the next day if you survive
'Cause there ain't no place for new life
No escape nothing there no way
Out to save your life
The strong and weak all will
Fall prepare yourself to die
Screams of despair screams of pain
You hear it everywhere
Wait for god if there is one
But even he doesn't care
Reaching out for your life
The world is prepared to die
Death will fall from the sky

Heart and soul
You took me in a special way
No time at all
My feelings were just blown away
Angel in red
I couldn't take my eyes off you
A golden chance
Into the light out of the blue
This is the time
The place is a four-minute rendezvous
But oh my God
The thought never entered my mind
Before I saw you
Oh Kari-Anne
The first time that I ever saw your face
Well I knew
Oh Kari-Anne
I never should be standing in this place
But I do
Kari-Anne
Shameless love
We know what we're gonna do
Hopeless romance
But I love every inch of you
In your arms
Do anything you want me to
No way out
My heart just tells me what to do
Whoa, Oh Kari-Anne
You were always were so nice
When it came to problems you knew
I never did think twice
About ever coming to you
So granny, what on earth can I do?
Granny, granny, what on earth can I do?
'Cause this little girl, this little girl
She's a driving me wild, she's a driving me wild
So wild, so wild, so wild
You always straightened me out
When I was feeling rough
But this one I really doubt
'Cause this one's really tough
Oh granny, what on earth can I do?
Granny, granny, what on earth can I do?
'Cause this little girl, this little girl
She's a driving me wild, she's a driving me wild
So wild, so wild, so wild
So granny, what on earth can I do?
Granny, granny, what on earth can I do?
'Cause this little girl, this little girl
She's a driving me wild, she's a driving me wild

When your burdens seem to weigh you down
Or the road, it seems too far to carry on, oh yeah, yeah
Just look to the hills, you will find your help
Is coming from the Lord, hold on
Even when you feel you can't go on
And even if you have to mourn
Let your soul cry out to the Lord
112 cry on, yeah
Cry on
God understands your tears
He knows, he knows, he knows
He knows how much that you can bear
Your faintest cry, He's gonna hear, yeah, yeah
Cry on
When there's nothing else to say
Soon He'll wipe it
Soon He'll wipe all your tears away
Without test and trial
You won't experience real joy, oh no
Gold without fire
It will never ever be pure gold
Yeah, oh
And without hitches
You will never know
The Lord can bring you through, through
Even when you feel you can't go on, go on
Let your soul cry out to the Lord
To the Lord, to the Lord
And without trials
You will never know
That my God can bring
Bring you through
Yes He can
Even when you feel you can't go on
Even if you have to mourn
Let your soul cry out to the Lord
Listen to me cry late at night
But that's alright
Go ahead and cry
Cry on
God understands your tears
He knows how much that you can bear
Faintest cry He's gonna hear
Cry on
When there's nothing else to say
He'll wipe all your tears
Weeping may
Endure for the night
But joy comes in the morning time
Weeping may
Endure for the night
But joy comes in the morning time
Joy comes in the morning time
Comes in the morning time
One morning I woke up and I knew that you were gone.
A new day, a new way, I knew I should see it along.
Go your way, I'll go mine and carry on.
The sky is clearing and the night has gone out.
The sun, he come, the world is all full of light.
Rejoice, rejoice, we have no choice but to carry on.
The fortunes of fables are able to sing the song.
Now witness the quickness with which we get along.
To sing the blues you've got to live the tunes and carry on.
Carry on, love is coming, love is coming to us all.
Where are you going now my love? Where will you be tomorrow?
Will you bring me happiness? Will you bring me sorrow?
Oh, the questions of a thousand dreams, what you do and what you see,
Lover, can you talk to me?
Girl, when I was on my own, chasing you down,
What was it made you run, trying your best just to get around?
The questions of a thousand dreams, what you do and what you see,
Words they echo in my mind
Feelings that slow down the time
I don't know if I'm forwards or behind
Eyes are staring out at me
And people all surrounding me
All the hands upon me - now I'm lost
I only wish that you were here
with you fear seems to disappear
If only I could take back how I feel
I only wanna be ok
But I don't know another way
Destroys the thing that means the most to me
It seems familiar
I've been here before
yeah it's all i need to read my thoughts now
Carry on, carry on
Count the things that i've done wrong
Cut me down til there's nothing left now
Carry on, carry on
Count the things that i've done wrong
Cut me down til there's nothing left now
Find it hard to concentrate
And i can never meditate
Try to get my mind right off of you
No matter how i feel today
I only know that things'll change
And i don't really care if you felt good
I seem familiar
You've been here before
Yeah it's all i need to read my thoughts now
Carry on, carry on
Count the things that i've done wrong
Cut me down til there's nothing left now
Carry on, carry on
Count the things that i've done wrong
Cut me down til there's nothing left now
Carry on, carry on
Count the things that i've done wrong
Cut me down til there's nothing left now
Carry on, carry on
Count the things that i've done wrong
Cut me down til there's nothing left now
Carry on, carry on
Count the things that i've done wrong
Cut me down til there's nothing left now
Carry on, carry on
Count the things that i've done wrong
Lately I've been tryin'
To have a word or two
Waitin' for a moment
To get to you
As I've been restrainin'
What I need to say
Silence gets misunderstood
Some way
Now it's time to sit right down
And make my point of view
Otherwise, oh, love of mine
I'll fall away from you
Woman, I'm a singer
That's all I'll ever be
Give n' take n' don't complicate
The simple harmonies
There's nothing I need from you
That you should keep from me
Nothing that you hold
Sets you free
And all I have, these simple words
That I will give to you
He's the fool who won't reach out
And tries to play it cool
I'm cryin'
Baby, I'm cryin'
And it feels like I'm dyin'
'Cause I can't get next to you
I'm cryin'
Baby, I'm cryin'
And it feels like I'm dyin'
'Cause I can't get next to you
Darlin', come on and hold me
I need a one and only
Baby, hear me when I say
I'm cryin'
Baby, I'm cryin'
And it feels like I'm dyin'
'Cause I can't get next to you
I'm cryin'
Baby, I'm cryin'
And it feels like I'm dyin'
The north start always guides me
When winter skies are gray
And I want for the sun when all are one
I shall not betray calling at me
I'm waiting when all are led astray
Chorus:
Carry on my sons forever
Carry on when I'm gone
Carry on for when the day is long
For as long as we're together
Then forever carry on
Darkness all around us we don't close our eyes
No one gonna ground us we were born to fly
Coming at us no stopping born to amplify
Chorus
Yea, be my brother fight to stay alive
All the world can't change us
With all their borned out jive
Come get us now we're
Waiting we won't run and hide
Chorus
Now we're all together let's sing a fighting song
One hundred thousand rides we can't all be wrong
Coming at us no stopping always carry on
If eyes are the mirror of the soul
You will find in mine the scorn and apathy
You will read my hatred as in a curs'd book
You will see yourself as I see you
It is a mirror sombre and opaque
Which protects me, which stifles me
A great ditch around the heart
Which rejects, which estranges me
There is a world in my head
A dead world where nothing lives
And it is there I am, too far,
Far to far to be rejoined
A crown of thorns is still a crown
I am a king in a kingodm of suffering
I have taken my time to reach this stage
I have taken pains to tourture myself
To descend, to descend
Into Pain, I exist
An if my brain is numbed
The thorn in my flesh
Can overcome apathy
There is glory in humiliation
A throne to be taken, a crown to win
I have no more tears,
And my smile has lost its brilliance
I have forgotten who I was
I have killed my emotions
Crushed, empty, weary
Always standing, I am a tree
You tell me stories that I wish were true. But I know better than believe in you.
I keep on cryin', I keep on cryin.
You talk in circles and you laugh at sin. I think it's over then it starts again.
I keep on cryin', I keep on cryin.
You say that you love me, that you'd never leave me cryin'! I keep on cryin'.
Cry...cry....
Oh mama save my soul, say you won't hurt me no more.
I keep on cryin', I keep on cryin.
You say that you need me, that you'd never leave me cryin'! I keep on cryin'.
Cry...cry.... You make it easy to cry.
Oh mama save my soul, oh mama save my soul.
deep deep down . the silence covers your ears
no light will ever reach its depths . it watches
high above . cold winds pass the black dunes
a feather jerks in the storm . till it looses the fight
whirls around . and drowns in black masses
life stops in slowmotion . a suffering still-life
caught in this potion . yet it struggles
raped by men . still it watches
squirming and gleaming bubbles bursting . breathing out their stench
every noise is suffocated . slowly very slowly
creamy molasses sinking . deepening the silence
stopping life in slowmotion . movement ceases . never to come back
still it watches . powerless to clench onto life
It's early in the morning
soon another day will dawn
I can't wait to feel your arms
around me again
I believe that we could
lay down the world
together we could live
the dream that never ends
Open up the door
just a little more
baby let me in
You are the one, You are the one
who can make moments last forever
The one that makes the sun shine
where ever you go, You are the one
why make it harder, than it has to be
just listen, I'll give you love
if you'll give me your heart
Everytime I near you
time is standing still
there's nothing you can't fix
with your heavenly smile
I would never leave you
my love is for life
taking things for grandet
was never my style
Just give a little love
say you'll never stop
I'll do anything
You are the one, You are the one
who can make moments last forever
The one that makes the sun shine
where ever you go, You are the one
why make it harder, than it has to be
just listen, I'll give you love
If you'll give me your heart
And I'll do anything
if you give me your heart
ahh ahh yeah
I'll do anything
You are the one, You are the one
who can make moments last forever
The one that makes the sun shine
where ever you go
give a little love
say you'll never stop
and I'll do anything
I'll give you love
if you'll give me your heart
ohhhhh ohhhhh
who can make moments last forever
The one that makes the sun shine
Where ever you go
you are the one
why make it harder, than it has to be
just listen, I'll give you love
if you'll give me your heart
You built a city in my head
Then there were candles
And a phoenix burned my bed
These are subwords
These are air
There's one boy
In one house
In one place
At all times
And green eyes
I got no more
Who are you for?
I got no more
What is this?
I shouldn't be smoking
This last cigarette
I feel sick
Now there are words in my head
You took my house
Burned it inside out
Kneel in my ashes
Kneading them
There's one boy
In one house
In one place
At all times
And green eyes
I got no more
Who are you for?
I got no more
What is this?
And now you're leaving again, no
Temper and tempest
To knock at the moon
And the stars come out at night
What's that beyond the floor?
You were left screaming
My hands are in your hair
You're on the deep with the stars(? )
You built a city in my head
Where are your candles?
(...can see my...)
And a phoenix that was you in my bed
These are subwords
These are air
(turning my body around)
There's one boy
In one house
In one place
At all times
(there's one boy)
And green eyes
I got no more
Who are you for?
I got no more
What is this?
Smoke falls to the ceiling
It begins
There's a man dancing at me
He's making circles
So I will tell you now
(I wear your clothes)
I wear your clothes like armour
(I love your face)
I love your face like god
So you're in love and I'm indebted always
Green eyes
And now you're leaving again
I didn't understand the things you're going through
I never understood, I really never knew
Carry on
Carry on
The sun will always shine
Carry on
Carry on
We'll have a glass of wine
Or cigarette
Take destiny by the hand
And lead it far away
Take it to another land
We will all decay
Carry on
Carry on
The sun will always shine
Carry on
Carry on
We'll have a glass of wine
The crown is off the one ahead of you
you down and out and side step through
been pounding out the crowded streets
ten o'clock in the morning
the streets rising up
your head is ringing
and everything...
gonna claim, gonna name, gonna shout it out
could leave me out again
gonna call, gonna call, gonna sound it out
something's really here
you've got a world to tell
in the tower its round about
the cryer's calling out
to warn against the things we want
In the tower its round and round and round and round
well you wonder
how I once used to be
its like your brother said
its only head
gonna claim, gonna name, gonna shout it out
its here, its here, its here
gonna call, gonna call, gonna sound it out
something's really here
something's really here
The crown is off the one ahead of you
you down and out and side step through
been pounding out the crowded streets
ten o'clock in the morning
the heat's rising up
your head is ringing
and everything...
gonna claim, gonna name, gonna shout it out
could leave me out again
gonna call, gonna call, gonna sound it out
something's really here
gonna claim, gonna name, gonna shout it out
could leave me out again
gonna call, gonna call, gonna sound it out
something's really here
Baby's just a little bit tired of the city
Billboards and bullshit got her down
Seem like you need a little hill country
A little back roads driving, little bit of the old top down
Yeah, everybody gotta get away sometime
Forget about yourself for a while
Seems to me that all you need
Is a rag top car and a ride with me
Okay, alright
Just might get a little high tonight
Okay, alright
Carry on
Ol' Walt Wilkins lives up in Nashville
You know his eyes have seen the miles
Walt, why don't you jump in Jim T's caddy
Come down to Texas and drink with me a while
Yeah, everybody gotta get away sometime
Forget about yourself for a while
Will go down to El Arroyo have some tacos and beer
Yeah, and let ourselves go
Okay, alright
Just might try to get it right tonight
I'm okay, alright
Carry on
Lover, make sure that you got your troubles
Lover, make sure that you work too hard
Ain't nobody that don't get tired
Watch your troubles pile up big in your own backyard
Sometimes you've got to grab your world with your own two hands
Set it spinning off on a course all your own
Take yourself a big bag for your shoulder
Find yourself some good times, bring them on back home
Yeah, everybody gotta get away sometime
Forget about yourself for a while
Lay your whole life upon a shelf
Got no one to blame but your own damn self
Okay, alright
Heaven only know what gonna happen tonight
I'm okay, I'm alright, I'm okay, I'm alright
I'm okay, I'm alright, I'm okay, I'm alright
Oh carry on, yeah

I dreamed a journey
And left to begin it
I opened my mind
But I fell deep down in it
Lost at the crossroads of two worlds
Watching the future unwind
I was blind to a truth I
Always knew
CARRY ON
When your whole world comes apart
There's a place for you to start
So I kept searching for
Someone to find me
I tried to define
What was always denied me
Traveling mazes of mirrors
Searching for one perfect sign
I was a miner for fools gold
Though I knew
You have to
CARRY ON
When your whole world comes apart
There's a place for you to start
When the current drags you down
There's a way up to be found
CARRY ON
Through the days and through the nights
CARRY ON
Though you might
Feel your burden drag you down
There's a way up to be found
When your whole world comes apart
There's a place for you to start
When the current drags you down
There's a way up to be found
I dreamed a journey
And left to begin it
I opened my mind
But I fell deep down in it

I met the sweetest of angels yesterday.
And I knew it was true
Since she got those
Flowers with a message
"The Angels are watching your every move"
And I never saw the most innocent of clothes
That she's chosen for her mission.
Is there a thrift shop in heaven
Where the clothes of the pure go?
She must have picked them up there.
Soul sisters?
We chirped and chattered,
Exchanged blessings.
I watched lighted sparks spring
Oh yes, there's electricity in angel wings.,
