Citizen
A cure to kill the east
A disease of the west
Romance is no escape
But I'll escape you
The manufacturing sound
Complaining to ourselves
You're cutting up our friends
Making love to our sisters
Another endless day
Another daze
But I'm losing track
The train goes off the rails
Dance Of The Youth
Youth want to dance
Citizen
The tribal war begins
But radio's a God
Industrial money
God is industry
Dance of youth
Citizen you know what we're after
Know what we're after
Know what we're after
Citizen
The state that we've come to love
Love's a crime against the state
I hate the sound of bells
Communications lost
Something we're after
I hate democracy
One more contact lost
Love
A crime against the state
The state we've come to love
Oh electric candle light
What time is it over there
We got to wear a badge
We're losing track of days
Dance of the youth
Youth want to dance
Citizen
I'll share a room with you
You're getting so very thin
Did we ask for this
Are you rationing our water
Dance of the youth
Our food is getting cold
And you're getting colder
I see you
I'm not so unaware

Got got a camera

Someone singing in the shower
Someone singing in the shower
Singing, singing, singing, singing

Someone's singing in the shower
I hear a voice and see no angel
I hear a voice and see no angel

Hero see no, hero see no, hero see no, hear and see no
Hear a voice and see no angel
Violence and vivisection

Gods, Gods this fear of Gods
Some boys are calling, boys are crying
Some boys are calling, boys are crying
Calling, calling, calling, calling calling calling, crying
Calling, calling, calling, calling calling calling, crying
Fear is fast, I'm turning white now
Fear is fast, I'm turning white now
Faster, faster, faster, faster, faster, faster
Fear is fast, I'm turning white now
Gods, Gods, this fear of Gods
I'm back on black, I'm back on black
Fear of gods
Back on black
Back on black
Today I saw a film was going backwards
Thirty frames a second was a man I recognized
Say who you are? I lost my job security
Self confidence, bank account, identity
The league of youth coming backward at me
Thirty frames a second
Say who you are? Go back to father
Father where's my food? Your food is on the table
That can't be food, it's dirt say who you are
Look at my skin, look at my face
Look at my arms getting younger
Going backwards thirty frames a second
Say who you are?
I crash my car, collapse in town
Young immigrants and legionaries
Fighting back, back, backwards
Thirty frames a second
Say who you are?
Some friends of mine
I thought were dead, a coming back
What are you doing coming back, Jack
Say who you are?
Feel I'm going backwards thirty frames a second
Feel I'm going backwards
Feel I'm going backwards
Feel I'm going backwards thirty frames a second
Feel I'm going backwards
Feel I'm going backwards
Shadow let go there's something you should know
I just found my new direction and I hope you like the key
Like the air that led me to it
She's the wind that sucked me through it
She's a river and she's turning there in front of me
Stand back get back, she'll paint your blue skies black
She gives bullet proof protection, she got a resurrection feel
When I'm scared, and 'bout to lose, she gives me traveling shoes
She's a river and she's turning in front of me
And I go blind, wasting my time
While the rivers in front of me that's where I'm goin' to be
Shine on, get on twilight from dusk to dawn
She's the spirit of creation, she's the last chance guarantee
Got a myriad of poses, sweet miracles and roses
She's a river and she's turning in front of me
And I go blind, wasting my time
While the rivers in front of me that's where I'm goin' to be
Shadow [Incomprehensible]
The river's in front of me
They say that every heaven's got a thousand rooms
So take me on that freedom ride
My heart is like a hunter's in the silent moon
My nerves just feel electrified
Meet me on the staircase by a darkened room
Light me like a naked flame
The voice of Mother Nature states all things must pass
And nothing can remain
They say that every heaven's got a thousand rooms
So take me on that freedom ride
You raise me like a building to the very top
Rush me to the end of time
You fill me full of danger, you give me future shock
Then you leave me wasted dying
Stand back get back
Stand back get back
Move on
She's a river, she's a river
She's a river
And I go blind, wasting my time
The river's in front of me
Stand back get back
She's a river, she's a river, she's a river
She's a river, she's a river
Shine on, get on twilight from dusk to dawn
She's the spirit of creation, she's the last chance guarantee
Stand back get back
She's a river, she's a river, she's a river
In front of me
Stand back get back
The river's in front of me
The river's in front of me
Ever felt that you've been lied
And somehow you just can't provide the proof
Ever felt you're cast aside
And sheltered from the universal truth
Ever find when trouble calls you're first in line
And stick your finger in
Everybody's talking 'bout 7 deadly sins
Number one says drop the gun
There's nothing out there that's worth dying for
And number two that's me and you
I'm green inside and jealous to the core
Number three fidelity I've lost the path
And I'd better start again
This thing's got a strange mystique
The 7 deadly sins
This thing's got the whole world beat
7 Deadly sins
I can hear them calling out
I can hear them screaming out
Blood is sweet like a deep red river
And where it goes I don't know
You make me sweat
And you make me shiver
Where it goes I don't know
If you've got sticky fingers
You got dreams that linger running through your brain
Well vanity's the flying "V"
Desire is the one who gets the blame
I see them walking
You know they're walking at night
Ohh in the dark you know
They're shining out so bright
Your sarky voices are gonna come on so near
As every picture becomes so clear
You come on so sharp
Yet be so nice
Tell me that you're so hot
But you're as cold as ice
There is no cure
You're so blind can't you see?
There is no cure
Can't buy no immunity
There is no cure
So keep your evil from me
There is no cure.
They like to stay
Ooh come on
Come on and stay up so late
You gonna talk of all the things you just wanna hate
You wanna come on
Come on
And make me so mad
Inside your heart
I know it feels so bad
You come on so sharp
Yet be so nice
Tell me that you're so hot
But you're as cold as ice
There is no cure
You're so blind can't you see?
There is no cure
Can't buy immunity
There is no cure
So keep your evil from me
There is no cure
Come on and do it
Just what to do it
They're going to do it
Just want to do it
I'm in a golden temple
In a bombed out street
Feel the rough and tumble
Down where the borders meet
I hear the sandstorm's fallin'
Down where the tears have dried
And there's a west wind callin'
But I get no reply
And I kiss the ground
I kiss the ground
Nothin' around
There is no hidden karma
There is no sacred plight
There is no special amour
To take me through the night
I kiss the ground
I kiss the ground
Nothing around
I kiss the ground
I kiss the ground
Nothing around
Into the space between us
Into the words that say
That every law demeans us
Then every price you pay
There is no hidden karma
There is no sacred plight
There is no special amour
To take me through the night
I kiss the ground
I kiss the ground
Nothing around
I kiss the ground
I kiss the ground
I kiss the ground
Nothing around
I kiss the ground
There is no manna-mania
There is no banquet here
There is only ghettos
Talking by the pool of light, language from Americ.
She puts on the film of him, King is white and in the crowd
They are not a melting pot, say no, say no tapestry
She puts on the film of him, King is white and in the crowd
She takes his hand and she says you'll stay
She's lost in the crowd
King
Wire them up, fire them up
The life and times, the art and talk
Wire them up, fire them up
The life and times, the art and talk
Lovers run camp Africa, Bars in town are civilised
She puts on the film of him, King is white and in the crowd
Panorama, Citylife
Youth's dance proud from the waist down
She puts on the film of him, King is white and in the crowd
Shot from where the action is, a rhapsody in black and blue
She puts on the film of him, King is white and in the crowd
Love lies under western eyes, powerful yet transient

We passed upon the stair, we spoke of was and when
Although I wasn't there, he said I was his friend
Which came as some surprise I spoke into his eyes
I thought you died alone, a long long time ago
Oh no, not me
I never lost control
You're face to face
With The Man Who Sold The World
I laughed and shook his hand, and made my way back home
I searched for form and land, for years and years I roamed
I gazed a gazely stare at all the millions here
We must have died alone, a long, long time ago
Who knows? Not me
We never lost control
You're face to face
Nerve and nerve
This coastline swerves
To a city that they live on
I walk on by
Animals cry
To a city that they live on
To a city that they walk on
To a city that they live on
Pulse, pulse, pulse
Feel
Pulse, pulse, pulse
This train is late, I hesitate
To a city that they live on
Dance the dance of violence
To a city that they live on
To a city that they crawl on
To a city that they live on
Pulse, pulse, pulse
Feel
Pulse, pulse, pulse
City that they live on
Feel
To a city that they crawl on
City that they live on
Feel
City that they crawl on
To a city live on
Feel
from without, from a child
in this location, the forces conspire
vigilant fire, expectation

Life In A Day
The price that you pay
For time that you spent
It's such a fatal event
Take a look at your watch
There is no time to wait
Take a look deep inside
There's no escape from this day
Life In A Day
Life In A Day
Take a look around you
Is it true what they say
Life In A Day
Life In A Day
Is there no place to hide
Could there be some other way
Can you see how they run
Do you believe what they say
They'll soon be looking for you
For sure they'll get you away
The premonition came true
Look all around and you'll see
Some say it takes two to know
Or could it all just be me
Life In A Day
Life In A Day
I love to see how they run
They came a running this way
Life In A Day
Life In A Day
No sence in looking for you
They're going to get you one day
Life In A Day

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
Switch the light on
We can think it's dawn
Oh push along
Push along
Play a long song
I'm laughing at marine
Marine laughs back
Don't like those boys
Toy soldier boys
I'm lying in bed
You can play me fear
You can play me fear
Only rhythm I hear
You cut me up
With joys of life
I'm going somewhere
I'm going someplace
If caution is life
Then caution is sin
Contort contort contort
I'll win
These walls that close
Close in on me
Seductress shout
Seductress scream
Switch the light on
We can think it's dawn
Oh push along
Push along
Pray along
Play a long song

What's your name
What's your nation
Sense of order
Sense of speed
Earth that you walk upon
Shakes his hand
Turns away
Turns his back and walks away
Earth that you walk upon
Earth that you walk upon
What's your name
What's your nation
Sense of order
Sense of speed
Earth that you walk upon
Passing on and on
Earth that you walk upon
Screaming edge of light
Shines so shines so hard
Earth that you walk upon
Turning on

Lone child in the wild
A bird that's lost at sea
The words that whisper in the silent film
Say 'tomorrows gone for me'
All night lying with your head in my hands
And I search for reasons why
But if I can't get to it - I can't get through it
All that's gone now - all that's...
The tears of a guy
Is all I ever see
The tears of a guy
So many rivers run to me
Wake up dreaming with the sun in my eyes
Hear me screaming, don't ask why
Some strange music from some sweet soul song
Says I can't feel it - I can't try
Time goes - and the fountain still flows
I'll be watching through fortunate eyes
But I can't get cured - I must endure
All that's gone now - all that's...
The tears of a guy
Is all I ever see
The tears of a guy
So many rivers run to me
Drift by the walls - this way
Babylon - in your eyes
Drift by the walls - this way
Babylon - in your eyes
So many rivers run through me
(And we will walk)
Oh little angel
It's all I ever see
(And we will rise)
So many rivers run to me
(And we will walk)
Oh my little angels
In your eyes
So many rivers run through me
In your eyes

So let it all come, let it all come down
Let it all come, let it all come down
Sweet tears roll like a river from your eyes
Get close let's sleep tonight
When you wake there's a new day dawning
When you wake there's a cold wind blowing
When day breaks there's a light shines through
I'm still here with you when the morning comes
I need you with me when the day begins
Oh let it all come, let it all come down
Why don't you let it all come, let it all come down
All is in control, love is on the open road
Make me want to live, you make me want to die
When you wake there's a new day dawning
When you wake there's a cold wind blowing
When day breaks there's a light shining through
Oh let it all come, let it all come down

It's a long cold distance through the galaxies.
If my eyes were open wide maybe I could see.
If a burned out future seems like all that's in store
I'd tumble to the ground like a fading meteor.
Jeweller to the stars, Jeweller to the stars,
Jeweller to the stars, that's who you are.
That's who you are.
Ever been out walking where the air gets thin,
or stranded on a planet losing out on oxygen?
Scream out "listen" in a silent place,
feel that you're falling, calling into space.
Jeweller to the stars, Jeweller to the stars,
Jeweller to the stars, that's who you are.
that's who you are.
that's who you are.
It's a long cold distance through the galaxies.
My eyes were open wide, oh desolately.
If a burned out future seems like all that's in store
I'd tumble to the ground like a fading meteor.
Jeweller to the stars, Jeweller to the stars,
Jeweller to the stars, that's who you are.
that's who you are.
Rhada come to it
Brother slide through it
Sister rise - don't you care?
Come on taste the mountain air
Innocence comes to chance
The mystery and spirit of romance
Butterflies make you sigh
And Kali-Yuga's miles away
Procession gets in line
With words of wedding day rhyme
It'll make you cry
Kali-Yuga's miles away
And the young girl's eyes are miles away
And the dust still lies miles away
Rhada come to it
Brother slide through it
Sister rise - don't you care?
Come on taste the mountain air
Innocence comes to chance
Mistery, spirit of romance
It'll make you cry
Kali-Yuga's miles away
And the dust will rise miles away
The young girls sigh miles away
And the dust will rise miles away
Don't let me down
Don't let me down
Blossoms cry to it
Chariots take you there
Climbing through mists like marble white stairs
Milliseconds - take a glance
Catch the mystery dance
Never want to lose this chance
Kali-Yuga's miles away
And the dust still rise
And the worlds will rise
Superman v supersoul
Always in control
Superman v supersoul
In control

Waltzing Matilda looked at her wallet
The sexy one smiled in dismay
She pulled out four twenties
'Cause she liked round figures
Everybody stay for a day
I think I'm on fire and you know I admire you
Quiet, why don't we slip away

It's a rarity me flirting

i still can't get enough
i wonder what relieves me from this pain
shine, shine your love
i hope you lead me on
lover, we got sugar on the brain
the sun sets so fine,

Listen to the rhythm
Listen to the beat
It has a cold wind blowing
Up through the street
Soul crying out
People crying out
In through the valleys
In through the streets
Feel the whole world moving
Underneath our feet
Something's going on
I said what is going wrong
I feel them coming
So close behind
Sister says, we're next in line
The man he says, that's OK
And the Government says you're gonna pay, pay, pay
And you pay
Still you pay
It's just a soul crying out
It's just the people crying out
It's the land crying out
And I can hear you crying out
And I say, I don't know
Maybe I don't care
What I know is
I gotta get out of here
And I'm going
Going any day
Some sweet day
Some sweet day
I gotta find a way
I can hear the lovers, whisper in the street
See a crowd has gathered underneath the heat
I hear what they say
But I don't believe what they say
I see the woman, with tears in her eyes
I hear the baby, calling in the night
Something on the bed, was it something she said
Hell this is not right
What goes on through the night
I hear her coming, all in my mind
Sweet common love, so hard to find
Someone said, man that's sa
And the people walk by, cos they're so blind
And you pay
Still you pay
It's just a soul crying out
Just the people crying out
It's the earth crying out
And I can hear you crying out
And I can feel you crying out
And I say, I don't know
Maybe I don't care
All I know is, I gotta get out of here
And I'm going, going any way
Do you know, some place to go
I'm getting out of here
Where will I find some peace of mind
I'm getting out of here
I come walking to you
I come singing to you
Some sweet day
I'm gonna walk away
I'm gonna walk away
It's just the soul crying out
It's just the land crying out
It's just the children crying out
All the babies crying out
Any way, some sweet day
I'm gonna walk away
Turn away
It's just the soul crying out
It's just the land crying out
I wanna hear
I want you here
Some sweet day
Just a soul crying out
Of a land crying out anyway
When you say
Some sweet day...

Summer rains are here
Savaged beauty life
Falling here from grace
Sister feeling call
Cruising land to land
No faith no creed no soul
Half a world away
Beauty sleeps in time
Sound and fury play
Ma son warm land semi-monde
Ma son warm land semi-monde
Cry because you're young
Governments and gifts
Hearts are in our mouths
Thank you for the voice
Thank you for the eyes
Thank you for the good times
Golden guns and cars
Styles and motorcades
In screaming beauty days
Ma son warm land semi-monde
Ma son warm land semi-monde
Only winds that twist
When white money calls
Falling here from grace
White-eye movement trust
Parades are leaving town
When boys of Venice call
In all stations trust
In all stations soul
Sons and fascination
Ma son warm lands semi-monde
Ma son warm lands semi-monde

Stay visible
The road opens wide
And there is space here for two of us
If I could slip under the wire
We'd wait here
Just stay here while
Slumped, my body's tired and this fear
It never lets me sleep
In your smile
This trial elates
And in your eyes
I see mothers open gates
If fortune could smile
there'd be room here for two of us
And I would burn myself through the wires
With this hate
Concentrated
Unearthed
Disparate
All of this time
Once in a while
If peace held for two of us
Or if we could show mercy awhile
White patience
Transcending
This coldness, never ending, thru time
Because if home still matters
And if these bones,
were not so battered
What state then
I'm so desperate,
Stuck within a hollow shell, in some forgotten state

Voice leading to voices
Last song that the land sings
In colourful breathless emotional sea
Leaving us in this way
Seeing out the angel
From the shadow of a day
That stands alone and crying young
Singing fascination
For the twist in anxious days
That stand alone and crying young
See out the angels
For the rescue pools of life
That stand alone and crying young
Rescue by the first light
Receiving us with these tears
Feeling your gaze in the back of my eyes
Leaving worlds this way
In voice leading to voices
Last song that the land sings
In colourful breathless emotional sea
Leaving us this way
Seeing out the angels
Singing fascination...

Endlessly
Do You Receive Me?
Do You Receive Me?
Do You Receive Me?
Real to real
Fact to fact
Nothing moving happening
Artifact
The waiting room
Waits
Limbo can burn
But the original sin
The incentive to learn
Fly over land
Where no hearts can beat
The metal rain pouring
Raining
Raining
Raining down on me
Hole in my head
Where the creature has crawled
And It's burning and turning
Out of control
Real to real
Fact to fact
Nothing moving happening
Artifact
I in this land
Sand in the eye
So here we go
The happy man dies
Brave little world
Well you cry once again
Remodel life
Remake and remodel
Remodel men
Protection Protection
The sound of machines
Image is burning
As they grind to a halt
Crying and crying
The sound of the shells
Tears turn to salt
Cry and I cry
Just one more illusion
I cry just for you
There's a hole in my head
Wher the voices came through
Fly over land
Waiting and waiting
Where no hears can beat
Machinery's burning
The metal rains pour
Pour
Raining
Raining down on me
Act of love
Is a luxury
The suit he wears
Belongs to me
The road is long
Seven thousand miles
Soldier talk
And uniform
We can live
I can live
Celebrate
Celebrate
We can live
I can live
Celebrate
Celebrate
She rag doll
Keeps him warm
This negative
Shows no form
He salutes the crowd
"Go west young man"
Run run run
The hollow man
We can live
I can live
Celebrate
Celebrate
We can live
I can live
Celebrate
Celebrate
To a distant land
Sand and sand
Touch to touch
A marble man
The house is glass
Furniture's chrome
Soldier talk
And uniform
We can live
I can live
Celebrate
Celebrate
We can live
I can live
Celebrate
I tried to write this song
i tried to memorize
such a long time ago
more than i realize
and are you bitter still
did we not pay the price once or twice
try to forgive me now please
try to forget about all those lies
new sunshine morning
blackens up my eyes
takes me in its warmness
and put me to a side
new sunshine morning
blackens up my eyes
takes me in its warmness
and put me to a side
much of the story isnt told
can you sympathize
seems like a lifetime ago
you tried to rid my soul
i tried to cheat on life
you tried to kill me so
only a moment i realize
new sunshine morning
opens up my day
carry carry me homeward
into another place
new sunshine morning
opens my eyes
carries carries me onward
into a new sunrise
new sunshine morning
new sunshine morning
Neon lights
Shimmering neon lights
And at the fall of night

It was 25 years they take that man away
But freedom moves him closer every day.
Wipe the tears down from your saddened eye
They say Mandela's free
so step outside.
Mandela day - Mandela's free.
It was 25 years ago this very day
And behind four walls all through the nights and day.
Still the children know the story of that man
And we know what's going on right through your land.
25 years ago - Mandela day - Mandela's free!
And the tears are flowing
wipe them from your face
I can feel this heartbeat moving deep inside.
It was 25 years they took that man away
And I'm a workin'
dancin'
hissing'
Mandela's free.
Mandela's free.
The rising sun sets Mandela on his way
It's been 25 years around this very day.
From the one outside to the ones inside we say:
Low club light
Lips sealed tight
Expose fade away
Observer write it all down
For Me
No soundtrack
No fightback
Noise annoys
Dark Subject
All the underworld
Making plans for us
We are open wide
Need someone to stand up
Up up
Lovers
Shelter in their suitcase
Waiters
Shelter in their suitcase
Stangers
Shelter in their suitcase
Sailor talk to soldier
Sailor
Low club light
Lips sealed tight
Expose fade away
Observer write it all down
For me
I'll try
I'll spy
I would not buy
A car from you
They make uniforms
Something to call style
We need to stand up
We are open wide-ide-ide
Lovers
Shelter in their suitcase
Waiters
Shelter in their suitcase
Strangers
Shelter in their suitcase
Soldier talk to sailer
Soldier
All the underworld
Making plans for us
We are open wide
Need someone to stand up
Up up
Lovers
Shelter in their suitcase
Waiters
Shelter in their suitcase
Strangers
Shelter in their suitcase
Soldier talk to sailer

Africa
You say you're surprised
I thought I'd write today
Pieces of my life
That time can't fade away
Land lies dry, Africa
Clouds roll by, Africa
I held you every night
I believed in all you'd say
Now the dust blows in my eyes
Dreams don't fade away
The sky burns red, Africa
Don't you cry, Africa
Africa, when you cry it rains, Africa
Still the children smile, Africa
When you cry it rains, Africa
When the wild dogs howl, Africa
Open inside something about this pain
There's something about this sweet refrain
Reminds me that you're not there
And if I could care there's something about this curse
Like a needle inside a silken purse
Reminds me of all that you'd bring
If I had wings
I'm still standing
Blue mountain high
Only the fables get to fly
Without these words there's no reason why
It reminds me of all that you bring
If I had wings
Would like to teach myself
If I had wings
Would learn to stir myself
If I had wings
Strapped inside won't be denied
Nightmare brings
All that you said
And if I could fly
Long time saviour
That's the sinner's crime
Well without such trust
I know that I can never find
Never find - Never find - Never find
If I had wings
If I had wings
I'm still standing
Never find - Never find - Never find
Open inside something about this pain
There's something about this sweet refrain
Reminds me that you're not there
And if I could care there's something about this curse
Like a needle inside a silken purse
Reminds me of all that you'd bring
If I had wings
If I had wings
If I had wings
If I had wings

Cities, buildings falling down
Ideal homes falling down
These pictures I see on the wall
Timeless leaders stand so tall
Assassin in a hit and run
Asia steals a new born son
Evacuees and refugees
Presidents and monarchies
Travel round
I travel round
Decadence and pleasure towns
Tragedies,luxuries,statues,parks and galleries
Europe has a language problem
Talk, talk, talk, talk, talking on
In central Europe
Men are marching
Marching on and marching on
Love songs playing in the restaurants
Airport playing ";Bi Some Lo";
Travel round
I travel round
Decadence and pleasure towns
Tragedies,luxuries,statues,parks and galleries
Europe has a language problem
Europe has a language problem
America has a language problem

Making love to the criminals
Asia has a language problem

And on and on and on and on and on and on and on

God gave me traveling shoes, God gave me the wanderer?s eye
God gave me a few gold coins to help me to the other side
Looked around and said, ?Be careful how small things grow?
God gave me traveling shoes and I knew that it was time to go
Sent in the ship at night to take me to the hidden port
Found me the key at last to open up the prison door
Brought down the blackbird's wings, gifted me with beggar's eyes
Sent in the jackals to tell me I should say bye, bye, bye
I'm home, home
Home, home, home
And I'm home, home
Home, home, home
But I'm miles and miles and miles and miles and miles away
Where can I hide?
God gave me one last chance, gave me one last reprieve
Jah gave me hunger, gave me the air to breathe
Gave me one suitcase, gave me one last goodbye
Gave me traveling shoes, without them I would surely die, die, die
Home, home
Home, home, home
Home, home
Home, home, home
Miles and miles and miles and miles and miles away
Miles and miles and miles and miles and miles away
Where can I go?
Where can I hide, hide?
I'm home, home
Home, home, home
And I'm home, home
Home, home, home
And I'm miles away
Miles away
Like to tell ya about my baby
You know she comes around
She about five feet four
A-from her head to the ground
You know she comes around here
At just about midnight
She make ya feel so good, Lord
She make ya feel all right

When she comes to my house

And then she comes in my room

I'm gonna shout it all night - Gloria

For your pleasure
In our present state
Part false part true
Like anything
We present ourselves
The words we use
Tumble all over
Your shoulder
Gravel hard and loose
There all night
Lying
With your dark horse
Hiding
Abhorring such extremes
You're rubbing shoulders
With the stars
At night shining so bright
Getting older
But you'll wake up
Soon and fight
In the morning
Things you worried about
Last night
Will seem lighter
I hope things
Will turn out right
Old man-
Through every step a change
You watch me walk away
And now the sound of time is getting fast
It's getting late
Don't know if I can take much more
The way you talk I often wondered
If I heard the words somewhere
Someplace before
I got so nervous when I called
And found that lately
You had gone and changed your name
But I've got something on my mind
I want you here
I want you now
You better explain
Is it true you're running round
Now is it true they're calling you
The Chelsea Girl
Is it true you're running round
Now is it true they're calling you
The Chelsea Girl
Your best friend never calls you up
But you don't mind
'Cause lately things are all the same
Ain't it strange how peope always seem
To know your face
But just don't know your name
Well I don't care there's no-one there
That even turn around and say get out of this place
Last night I saw a shooting star
When morning comes
She hides away
A real disgrace
Is it true you're running round
Now is it true they're calling you
The Chelsea Girl
Is it true you're running round
Now is it true they're calling you
The Chelsea Girl
Oh Chelsea Girl
You got me caught up in a whirl
Hey, hey, hey ,hey
Ohhh...
Won't you come see about me?
I'll be alone, dancing you know it baby
Tell me your troubles and doubts
Giving me everything inside and out and
Love's strange so real in the dark
Think of the tender things that we were working on
Slow change may pull us apart
When the light gets into your heart, baby
Don't You Forget About Me
Don't Don't Don't Don't
Don't You Forget About Me
Will you stand above me?
Look my way, never love me
Rain keeps falling, rain keeps falling
Down, down, down
Will you recognise me?
Call my name or walk on by
Rain keeps falling, rain keeps falling
Down, down, down, down
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Ohhhh.....
Don't you try and pretend
It's my feeling we'll win in the end
I won't harm you or touch your defenses
Vanity and security
Don't you forget about me
I'll be alone, dancing you know it baby
Going to take you apart
I'll put us back together at heart, baby
Don't You Forget About Me
Don't Don't Don't Don't
Don't You Forget About Me
As you walk on by
Will you call my name?
As you walk on by
Will you call my name?
When you walk away
Or will you walk away?
Will you walk on by?
Come on - call my name
Will you all my name?
I say :
La la la...

sometime i can see the world
by staring through your dark and misty eyes
i dont want to hear the words
or anything you know you cant deny
everytime i feel myself rejected
disconnected, from everything thats real
everybody needs to feel respected
not disconnected
only in my dreams i feel protected
this is reflected in all that I believe
Everybody needs to feel respected
not disconnected
i dont want to hear the sound
of your wide world when it comes crashing down
i can only help you if you're sure
you want to keep me hangin' round
i will only hear the sound
of your wide world when it comes crashing down
i can only help you
if you're sure you want to keep me hangin' round
only in my dreams i feel protected
this is reflected in all that I believe
everybody needs to feel respected
not disconnected
everytime i feel myself rejected
disconnected, from everythings that real
everybody needs to feel respected
not disconnected
only in my dreams i feel protected
this is reflected in all that I believe
everybody needs to feel respected
not disconnected
everytime i feel myself rejected
disconnected, from everythings that real
everybody needs to feel respected
not disconnected
It's difficult to love you when you do the things you do
Time and time again.
And when I try to turn it off, you turn from smooth, you play it rough,
Once again.
Pride that pulls me into this ocean subsides again
So high and so dry with these bitter emotional lies again.
You make me CRY, You make me CRY again,
You make me CRY, And the tears roll by again.
Saturday€™s the same old story, Sunday mornings wounded glory,
Repeats again.
And everyday a dream that€™s born is countered by a love that€™s torn
Deep again.
Pride that pulls me into this ocean subsides again
So high and so dry with these bitter emotional lies again.
You make me CRY, You make me CRY again,
And You make me CRY, And the tears roll by again.
You make me cry
you make me cry again
You make me cry
and you make me cry
You make me cry again
and you make me cry
The tears roll by again
And you make me cry
You make me cry again
And you make me cry
And the tears roll by again
You make me cry you make me cry
You make me cry you make me cry
You make me cry

Private world
Moving fast
I see your face in the distant past
Time passes slowly
Time passes slowly
Time passes slowly
Echoes of an empty room
Assassin at the window below
The concrete jungle sleeps at night
Story ends
Leave him alone
Calling
Calling your name
All that you say goes in vain
I would like to find you
On a voyage
That could find itself true
Centre of a scene
Where a man lies dying in the sun
The concrete jungle sleeps at night
Story ends
Can't leave him alone
Calling
Calling your name
All that you say goes in vain
I would like to find you
On a voyage
That could find itself true
Private world
Moving fast
I see your face in the distant past
Time passes slowly
Time passes slowly
A life shot in black and white,
Lays me down,
Takes to me where,
Words still fail me, yes!
A life shot in black and white,
Shames me now, as it takes us there,
Where nothing can break this.
Toiling back, I am still ashen,
I keep falling back,
On what I believe still matters.
I'm slamming on the brakes,
And like a haunted child, I was born to break.
A life shot in black and white,
Throws me down, then raises me,
With colours still bleeding... yes.
It's all there in black and white,
We've seen it now, seen it there,
And the moment's not leaving.
A life shot in black and white,
Stares me down, take me where,
And like doves we won't leave never.
We're still here in black and white,
You know that it hurts
These things that you say
But I'll be alright
Don't lose your faith
Just swallow your pride tonight
God only knows this place is strange
Banging on the door again
Banging on the door that's locked forever
Losing on a lover's game
Winning on the one side and losing forever
The air that we breather hangs heavy tonight
Still I look for your face
I'm home all alone again
Some dreams grow old and then they just die
I'm banging on the door again
Still banging on the door that's locked forever
Losing on a lover's game
Winning on the one track and hurting forever
Oh your love is a symphony
All this love over all of me
Oh your love is a symphony
Oh sweet love I can feel it
Still banging on the door again
I'm banging on the door that's sealed forever
Losing on a lover's game
Winning on the one track hurting forever

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
The human drum
Beats a rhythm of life
The clothes he wears
Takes back to the war
You talk a lot
Often to yourself
She don't say much
He cuts his hair
She can't remember
Before the heat
He can't remember
His wife's Christian name
Paint me your picture
Towers in sand
America can fall
Today I died again
I died again
I died today
Today I died again
I died again
I died today
Back to a year
Back to a youth
Of men in church
And drug cabarets
Is this the age
Of empires and dance?
Oh, what a world
Oh, what a world
She can't remember
Before this heat
He can't remember
His wife's Christian name
Paint me your picture
Bodies in sand
Presidents can fall
Today I died again
I died again
I died today
Today I died again
I died again
In your room, in your room
Silent man once again
The razor's song, the razor's song
Wear the mask another face
In your room, in your room
City red, city red
Wear the mask, wear the mask
A private hell, a secret sin
A friend of mine waiting for
A western man, waiting for
New kind of glory
A view of glory from this room
I only live here, I only live here
A fragile man, waiting, waiting
I only live here, I only live here
[Incomprehensible]
Echoes
Echoes
I jumped up like Apollo, crash landed on my feet
The sun shot like a laser through my brain
A little death had woken up and put a curse on me
But I knew that that I'd be coming back again
Inspiration, across the nation
There's a poverty of expectation
All I got to do was move ahead
It's a blue sky
It's a while cloud
It's a flame
It's a blue sky
White cloud
Burning flame
I shot back to the mirror, there was nothing left to see
But a phantom with his heartbeat deep inside
I could feel the dust of ages, they were blowing back at me
But I knew that I was born to get it right
It's a blue sky
It's a while cloud
It's a flame
It's a blue sky
White cloud
Burning flame
Everybody take the great leap forward
Everybody knows the mysteries that at hand
If you've been praying all those sweet days for this
Don't you know there is a whole different plan
Sometimes I hear the madman calling
He talks about some dark eternal place
I've been waiting all my lifetime for this moment
And now I've got to find some other ways
One touch ignites this eagle, one kiss for Heavens view
I need the flame so I can feel alive
You can tell my little brother, no requiem for me
I knew that I was born to make this flight
Inspiration, across the nation
There's a poverty of expectation
All I got to do was move ahead
It's a blue sky
It's a while cloud
It's a flame
It's a blue sky
White cloud
Burning flame
Everybody take the great leap forward
Everybody knows the mysteries that at hand
If you've been praying all those sweet days for this, darling
Don't you know there is a whole different plan
Sometimes I hear the madman calling
Every woman, every child, every man
I've been waiting all my lifetime for this moment
You know there's no turning back again
You know there's no turning back again
It's a blue sky
It's a while cloud
It's a burning flame
It's a blue sky
It's a while cloud
It's a burning flame
All I got to do was move ahead
All I got to do was move ahead
It's a blue sky
White cloud
It's a burning flame
All I got to do was move ahead
All I got to do was move ahead
It's a blue sky
White cloud
It's a burning flame
All I got to do was move ahead
All I got to do was move ahead
All I got to do was move ahead
Say that, say it?s wise
They say that, it's the only time
To reach for what remains
To look over what?s the same
Dolphins swim around
I'm dolphin, drag me down
Drag me down
Say that, it?s the truth
There?s an ocean, right in front of you
Dolphins hit the sound
And when dolphins circle around
And if it seems so
Like the world juts in
Those dolphins drag me down
Drag me down
Say that, say it's wise
They say that, it?s the only vice
Yet, you say so what remains?
And look so uncertain
And dolphins look around
And then dolphins drag me down
Drag me down
It looks through
The world juts in
'Cause dolphins drag me down
Ooh great wall of love, build me a great wall of love
When the blind man sings about the peaceful things
You shout that it's not good enough
Ah we wait till daylight hours
Waiting for a sign from you
Golden temples concrete towers
Building mansions on the hillside next to you
In the city souls awaken bodies shaking
Oh pull me up let me see the view
And to the hungry in the gutter
We've deprived them bread and butter
Always not enough
No not enough
Great wall of love, build me a great wall of love
When the blind man sings about the peaceful things
You shout that it's still not enough.
Ah well it's not the sound of ghosts I hear
It's the devil with his chainsaw
And I'll be running through the ghettos
Through the townships of Soweto
Always not enough
No not enough
Brothers missing, babies kissing
And the thing that got to you
Burning never turning next to you
Ooh great wall of love
Build me a great wall of love
When the blind man sings about the peaceful things
You shout that it's still not enough
So listen to me darling
They've got worries they've got troubles on their mind
And when you hear them reaching out
They're reaching out for something they can't find
Oh I believe one great day the rain will come
And wash this mess away
Oh I believe one great day the rain will come
They've got silver and diamonds
They've got paradise around them
They've got blue skies so clear
They've got their prisoner in a wagon
While the children chase the dragon
And the free bird files so clear
It files away
Fly fly fly away
Fly away
Oh you fly away
And may your sweet lips sing to me
Let the bells ring wherever freedom be
One babe is born and another one dies
There's people making love tonight
People making love tonight
Ah people making love tonight
People making love
People making love tonight
People making love
I can hear them reaching out
I can hear them reaching out
I can hear them reaching out
I can hear them reaching out

Paula came from Washington with long golden hair
Twenty eight dollars in a fake silk purse and a leather skirt to wear
Shane came from Dublin town from the old world so green
Counterfeit ticket in to JFK in the land of his dreams
Street life's the only life they take a walk in the park
Even tough they only met that day they were lovers by dark
Laid out on the morning skies he puts a ring on her hand
He said listen babe we gatta take what's ours do it or die
Quit dreaming this is real life baby
Real life's the only life what's it all about
Quit dreaming this is real life baby
Way out on the dock that night the colour is red
23rd victim of a gangland war takes his last breath
Outside the sister cried she said the whole world's so mean
Heavyweight killer in the ring, turns killing machine
Quit dreaming this is real life baby
Real life's the only life what's it all about
Quit dreaming this is real life baby
All my love, you're my all
They way you move, you're in control
The way you talk, the way you dress
Your hands, your touch, your sweet caress.
All my love, you're the best,
Every little thing that I possess,
It's all emotion when you take control,
I can feel wild horses running in my soul.
Oh my love, all I see
The stars, the sun, the energy,
If this going to kill us then let it go,
Quit dreaming this is real life baby
Up high above a desert sky where the space shuttles scream,
Sixteen men from a dying earth take their last dream.
Quit dreaming this is real life baby
Quit dreaming this is cheap life baby
Real life's the only life what's it all about
Quit dreaming this is cheap life baby
Your eyes, your lips, the shape of your mouth,
It's a sweet life baby
All my love, you're my all
The way you move, the way you go
I'm all emotion whin you take control
I can feel wild horses running in my soul.
All my love, you're all I see
The stars, the sun, the energy,
The way you move, you're in control

Shine On, Shine the Light on me,
In all of my Life so that much more I see
In the Light of his Love
In the Light of reflection
Oh what a world
Or sometimes oh so it seems
Eyes in the skies
In that silver gift friendship
A Glittering Prize
Is it the prize of lost loves
They can remember quiet sides of midnight
They can remember the attraction of fame
Like a Glittering Prize
I saw up on a clear day
First taking hearts
Then our last breath away
Always came a time --- time was on our side
We were spending time --- we were staring out
Catch me in a dream --- Captured all in heart
We were spending time --- we were staring out
Could there ever be --- ever more than one
It's called an act of Love
Can you you never stop?
Shine On, Shine the Light on me,
In all of my Life
So much more I see
Like a Glittering Prize
I saw you up on a clear day
First taking h.
eart then our last breath away
Only on a clear day comming into our lives
See it in the eye --- satellite skies
We were spending time --- we were staring out
Take in, Take in more --- The Endless breath away
We were spending time --- we were staring out
Could there ever be --- ever more than one
It's called an act of Love
Can you you never stop?
Always on a clear day
Crashing into our lives
Is it the Price of Love
Like a Glittering Prize
Always on a clear day
Crashing into our lives
With your love
its difficult to love you
when you do the things you do
time and time again
and when i try to play it wrong
you turn from smooth
you play it rough once again
you make me cry
you make me cry again
you make me cry
you make me cry again
you make me cry
you make me cry
saturday, same old story
Sunday mornings wounded glory repeats again
and every day a dream is born
is counted by a love thats torn, deep again
you make me cry
you make me cry again
and the tears roll by
you make me cry again
you make me cry
and you make me cry
you make me cry
you make me cry again
tide? that turns me into this ocean
subsides again
so high and so dry
with this bitter emotion lies again
you make me cry
you make me cry
and you make me cry
stop making me cry
stop making me cry
and you make me cry
you make me cry
Jimmy Brown
Made of stone
Charlie Clown
No way home
Bringing on the dancing horses
Headless and all alone
Shiver and say the words
Of every lie you've heard
First I'm gonna make it
Then I'm gonna break it
Till it falls apart
Hating all the faking
And shaking while I'm breaking
Your brittle heart
Billy stands
All alone
Sinking sand
Skin and bone
Bring on the dancing horses
Wherever they may roam
Shiver and say the words
Of every lie you've heard
First I'm gonna make it
Then I'm gonna break it
Till it falls apart
Hating all the faking
And shaking while I'm breaking
Your brittle heart
Brittle heart
Brittle heart
And my little heart
Goes

No way home

Till it falls apart
Hating all the faking
And shaking while i'm breaking
Your brittle heart
Bring on the new messiah
Wherever he may roam...
Brittle heart
Brittle heart
And our little hearts
Look at the world outside
Beware its evil tide
Too many endless days
Cold streets and alleyways
The poor come crawling out
They speak but never shout
I think you'd rather be alone
You're hiding in a shell
So easy I can tell
Can you sell me some thoughts
Though drugs just can't be bought
Tell me is it some crime
To wait a long time
I think you'd rather be alone
Can you hear me
Can you see
I don't want this destiny
To be destined
Destiny
Something's been happening here
Don't touch
Don't come so near
Don't ask me to reply
Can't think of no more lies
The hand thate reaches out
Can crush without a doubt
I think you'd rather be alone
Oh much is left unexplained
It's getting to my brain
Yet still you wear that smile
Then walk your crooked mile
Some day you're bound to learn
Too late
There's no return
I think you'd rather be alone
Can you hear me
Can you see
I don't want this destiny
To be destined
This is your land
It's the way it was planned
Sky to the sea, something to see
Old ancient town, to the old people ground
I wanna know, something to go
This is your land, laid out in your hand
This is your land
Wherever I go, way down here I know
This is your land
Oh churches and steeples, big city people
I wanna know something to hold
Walk down the track, to the old railroad track
I wanna leave something to see
This is your land, laid out in your hand
This is your land
Wherever I go, way down here I know
This is your land
Money can't buy me
Money can't buy me
I've got time
Time is on my side
You don't know what you've got till the whole thing's gone
The days are dark and the road is long
And when you walk away, the hope is gone
Tell me what is right, and what is wrong
Is this the way it was planned
This is your land, take it in your hand
This is your land
Wherever I go, way down here I know
This is your land, take it in your hand
This is your land
Wherever I go, way down here I know
This is your land

Go tell it on the mountain, like it burst forth like a fountain
Try to shake the deep foundations of this land
High up on lover's land, they got hotel rooms so grand
And no one here knows what goes behind closed doors
Take a step back to the middle of the track
You know it's rumored all around, says you know it's come to town
Come on and take a step back to the middle of the track
'Cause the rumors are around said you're coming back to town
And with every little lie, you come and never blink an eye
You know you've got yourself all tied up when you're around
I've got the modern world behind me, like a needle in a haystack find me
They build you up and then they're going to burn you down
So take a step back to the middle of the track
The rumors all around, said you're coming back to me
Come on and take a step back to the middle of the track
Says you know it's going upside, you know what's going down
I'm haunted by the wanderer deep inside
Wanted by, haunted by
I'm haunted by the wanderer that's deep in my soul
Gonna look back to the middle of the track
And you know it's going upside
Le, le, da, le
Telling me, ah ha, uh hu
Ooh, look back to the middle of the track
And you know it's going upside
Telling me, ah ha, uh hu
Don't tell me it's a bad dream
Don't tell me it's not what it seems
Don't tell me pretty soon you know
You gonna call me now
Gotta stop the roller coaster
Gotta make the most of it
Gonna pull you down
Gotta make the most of it
Chased you out of this world, didn't mean to stop
I turned around and suddenly you where gone
Like some bird from paradise, the fire and ice
We turned around and suddenly you where gone, gone, gone
And now summer burns a hole inside and years are golden once again
My thoughts return to you my dear young friend
Oh come this way
Will you look down this way
I go down on the street
Where the wild wind's blowing
Here comes a hurricane
I say come down this way
Will you look down this way
I need you tonight
I need you around me
I'm looking through the windows
And my mind goes in a whirl
Well there's a multitude of candles
Burning in the windows of this world
I'm looking at the colours
Checking out the straights
I'm counting out the numbers
Will tomorrow never change?
Still I hear you and I love you
And I'll follow you elsewhere
And I'll remember this occasion
I'll remember being aware
'Cause we've got panic in the evening
We've got fall-out in the streets
And I hear you and I follow you
And I'll call out and I'll say
That I can hear your sister call out
And I hear her call your name
They're calling sweet surrender
And things won't be the same
And don't you think that I don't care
And don't you think that I don't know
And don't you hear them calling out
In a place not far from here
And I hear big wheels are turning
Some things are not to fear
They say this is the time and place
They call street fighting years
And I hear great wheels are turning
And I tell you not to fear
They say this is the time and place
They call street fighting years
And I love you, I look for you
And I walk to you, I walk to you
And I hear big wheels are turning
Is there no way out of here?
They'll be calling out tomorrow.

September '77
Port Elizabeth weather fine
It was business as usual
In police room 619
Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko
Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko
Hiromija, Hiromija
The man is dead, the man is dead
When I try to sleep at night
I can only dream in red
The outside world is black and white
With only one colour dead
Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko
Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko
Hiromija, Hiromija
The man is dead, the man is dead
You can blow out a candle
But you can never blow out a fire
Once the flames begin to catch
The wind will blow it higher
Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko
Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko
Hiromija, Hiromija
The man is dead, the man is dead
And the eyes of the world are watching you now
They're watching you now, watching you now
Watching you now, watching you now
They're watching you now
You gotta waken up, you gotta face up
I think you gotta open up
The eyes of the world are watching you now
You gotta waken up, you gotta face up
You know you can never turn away
Never turn away

He wants the world
Screams everything
Follows in love
Love brings the fall
She is a country
Feel for life
Follows in love
Love brings the fall
First tear forms in the right eye
This is the eye that's crying first
First tear forms in the right eye
This is the eye that's crying first
Going somewhere
Getting someplace
Going somewhere
Follows in love
Love brings the fall
Going somewhere
Getting someplace
Going somewhere
Follows in love
Love brings the fall
Going somewhere
Getting someplace
Going somewhere
Follows in love
Cities heavy
Moving breathing
Follows in love
Love brings the fall
The need to draw blood somehow
Follows in love
Love brings the fall
Breath is in
Breath is out
I'm not seeing anything
I see too much
When the otherside of midnight calls
Remind me I'm glad to be here
First tear forms in the right eye
This is the eye that's crying first
In seventy cities
In seventy cities
Oh no oh no oh no no no
Here it comes Here it comes
Here it comes
Oh no

For just one moment in time
I hear the holy back beat
Events and casual affairs
Just what is moving on
And what is going on
In dream a dream a
Courage of dreams
In trance as mission
Trans-American
Moving on
For just one moment in time
I want to walk where it is
Sustain a stature in life
Here comes a new type of light
Just what is going on
What is moving on
Dream a dream a
Trance as you dream
In trance as mssion
Trans-American
Just what is going on
What is moving on
For just one moment in time
Just one moment in time
Dream a dream a
Courage of dreams
In trance as mission
Trans-American
Something crashing into my life
Something crashing against white rocks
No calm to my hand
Here comes my hand
City up on my mind
What is going on
You've got to move on
Dream a dream a
Courage of dreams
In trance as mission
Trans-American
Living lives out of dust
Dream a dream a
Living lives
Walk on in light
I want to walk
My hands are grabbing at air
I want to walk
Dream a dream a
Courage of dreams
In trance as mission
In trance in trance
Trans-American
Stand by the statue in fog
Events and casual affairs
I want to walk
Heat of the day
Heat of the day....

Wonderful In Young Life
Two weeks in another town
Sending shivers along in the spine
Of your friends when they call
Here she comes
The wild wind blows
In rhythms of season
In young life and reasons
Deceiving and pleasing to some

Surviving these changes
In paces and faces
In free wonder

It's the eighties youthful theme
Loving the city
A theme for great cities
And loved ones
And love
Memorize
A crowded swallow skies
Whatever the weather
The climate is perfect for
So young
And so young in life
An angel day
Angels coming your way
Screaming food fortune
And follow
And look at the memories
That are stuck in our eyes

Stories came like the wind
Joining every bridge in the wind
Ringing out footsteps
Calling out stell-heels
I give voice
I give breath
Count out evenings and stars
How fast can these things move on
Taking roots back to yourself
And the reason for fear was moving on
And on
Some time
Great times
Troubled time
Fire for the times
Ringing out footsteps
Calling out steel-heels
Promised land
Great times in commotion
Here come every day
It only lasts an hour
Unhappy the land that has no heroes
No! Unhappy the land that needs heroes
And the reason for fear was moving on
The speed of light was moving on
Don't cry
Tears are only wasted waters
Some say God her only loves the proud
Be damned on luck
But not dishearted
Nothing to prove
And nothing to present
I give voice
I give breath
Catching winds in my hand
My hand
Some times
Great times
Catching wind in my hand
My hand
Some times
Great times
Troubled times
Fire for the times
Ringing out footsteps
Calling out steel-heels
Promised land
Great times in commotion
Here comes every dat
It only lasts an hour
Unhappy the land that has no heroes
No! Unhappy the land that needs heroes
I'll call you out
I'll scream you out
And I don't care if you're afraid
When city sounds invade the air
Catch the wind in their hands
Promised land
Catch the wind in their hands
Promised lands
Promised lands
Promised lands
Great times in commotion

Footsteps, I can hear footsteps in the hall
I hear footsteps, seems like I've been through this before
Some time has come now, some time has passed
But things still look the same
Is heaven all above, and paradise below
And the questions still remain
Ooh, can we see you?
Ooh, are we near you?
How could you disappear out of here?
I wish for something, I wish you were here
Footsteps, I can hear footsteps in the hall
I hear footsteps, it seems like I've been through this before
Well we loved you then, I guess we always will
We love you still from here
Birds of a feather always stay together
And never separate, no fear
Ooh, can we see you?
Ooh, are we near you?
How could you disappear out of here?
I wish for something, I wish for something
I wish you were here, I wish you were here
I wish you well
Footsteps, I can hear footsteps in the hall
I hear footsteps, seems like I've been through this before
If all the world was turning blue and gold
Like through your eyes so clear
The time has come to celebrate our past
And crystalize this sphere
Ooh, can we see you?
Ooh, are we near you?
How can you disappear out of here?
I wish for something
Ooh, can we see you?
Ooh, are we near you?
How can you disappear out of here?
I wish for something
I wish you were here, I wish you were here
I wish you well
There will come a day
Oh some day our day will come
Our day will come, our day will come

''Belle''
Never turn your back
Great times attack
Inexpensive thrills
And I said Belle of all the friends who care
Some should be seen
But never heard
Colours Fly and Catherine Wheels
Poor girls cry
In the Beauty of Both Worlds
Catch a boy Fell Falling
All in love Fell Falling
Catch a boy Fell Falling
Falling
Out of the Sky
Out of the Sky
``Belle''
When the pulses rise
Love will tranquilize
Just before it kills
And I said Belle
You turn them on
With your reflection
We go walking hand in hand
All across the land, it's East at Easter
People walking hand in hand
When ships are moving South, it will be East at Easter
We will rock you rock you little Child [2X]
All across the land it's East at Easter [2X]
Things will lighten up the sky, East at Easter
Fate will lighten up the sky, East at Easter
We'll go walking hand in hand
'Cause all across the land it will be East at Easter
Ahh, we will rock you rock you little Child
We will rock you rock you little Child
All across the land it's East at Easter
When ships go moving South, it will be East at Easter
They're gonna lighten up the sky
They're gonna lighten up the sky
Ohh, they're gonna lighten up the sky
East at Easter
And we'll go walking hand in hand
We'll go walking hand in hand, yes
We will rock you rock you little Child
We will rock you rock you rock you, rock you little Child
They're gonna lighten up the sky
When they lighten up the sky
We'll be East at Easter
We will rock you rock you rock you.
Cities, buildings falling down
Satellites come crashing down
I see them falling out the skies like eagles
Mirrored glass and shattered egos
But in a corner of the world
We'd meet to laugh and drink and plan our sequels
'Cause in the alleyways and bars
Downtown, singing up from here to there can we go
This city comes alive at night
See these city walls are heaving
If these old city walls should crash
Amid the rubble, you'd find us breathing
Come say what you see in me
'Cause boy, I believe in you
Come say what you're seeing
All gone just ghost dancing, going all the way through
You talk about the Lebanon
You tell me 'bout the dawn in Eden
You talk about South Africa
I tell you about the Irish children
You say one more Polish Knight
Could come and blow away the doors to freedom
And if Mother Ethiopia could blow away the tears
We see run
O, blow them away
Blow, blow away
We will blow them away
O, blow, blow away
Blow, blow away
Blow, blow away
Come say what you see in me
'Cause boy, I believe in you
Come say what you're seeing
They're all gone just ghost dancing, going all the way through
Going all the way through
Going all the way through
You know I believe in you
Oh yes, I believe
You know I believe in you
You say you believe
I believe, I believe going all the way through, yeah
Going all the way through, yeah
Going all the way through
Come take me back home
Come on and take me away
Ghost dancing
And the car pulled up, the girl she jumped in
The boy he wore a medal that was shining from his skin
Windows pulled up, their radio tuning in
And she's hitting for the stars, he's hitting for the moon
She said, one last kiss while you look across the land
Move it into overdrive and take me by my hand
The car went broke, the rebels saw smoke
And they all went to heaven in a stupid fantasy, go
Take me away, away
Come, take me away
Come on and take me away
Come on and take me away
Take me away
Sun City, girl, Sun City, girl, Sun City, girl
Come on and take me away
Take me away, take me away to, to
I called you last night
But I got no reply
There's something not right
By the look in your eye
Makes me laugh
To walk the path
So many pass this way
It's so unreal
I can't help but feel
I gotta wake you from this daze
Listen to a world of your own
You've got to leave me alone
Sweet mother calling up now
Don't want to speak to no fool
She say I got to look out
For I've got to find the jewels
I have some precious momements
Into the night I stare
To dream of something special
Ooh Another sad affair
When all your trust
Turns to dust
And you're lost for words to say
You've got so much more to see before
You turn to walk away
Listen to a world of your own
You've got to leave me alone.
Ooh another sad affair
Another sad affair
Ooh another sad affair
Another sad affair
It makes me laugh to walk this path
So many pass this way
It's so unreal
I can't help but feel
I gotta wake you from this daze
Black lines call out from his face
Oh his heart beats staccato pace
She says he's not killing time
I just don't want him for no friend of mine
Meanwhile Susan goes out all alone
So many reasons but they're not all her own
Bend till you break
Scream if you must
Someone's in her room
Someone she don't trust
Can you see me I'm in the lukewarm rain
Try so very hard
You know I just can't explain
Think of a colour
Tell me what you see
That colour's red
You can take it from me
Take it from me
Take it from me
I've seen the streetlights
Shine on the underground
I've heard the dead fight
When there's no other sound
I've seen the streetlights
Shine on the undreground
I've heard the dead fight
When there's no other sound
Streetlight
Streetlight
Streetlight
You turn me on, you lift me up
And like the sweetest cup I'd share with you
You lift me up, don't you ever stop, I'm here with you
Now it's all or nothing
'Cause you say you'll follow through
You follow me, and I, I, I follow you
What you gonna do when things go wrong?
What you gonna do when it all cracks up?
What you gonna do when the Love burns down?
What you gonna do when the flames go up?
Who is gonna come and turn the tide?
What's it gonna take to make a dream survive?
Who's got the touch to calm the storm inside?
Who's gonna save you?
Alive and Kicking
Stay until your love is, Alive and Kicking
Stay until your love is, until your love is, Alive
Oh you lift me up to the crucial top, so I can see
Oh you lead me on, till the feelings come
And the lights that shine on
But if that don't mean nothing
Like if someday it should fall through
You'll take me home where the magic's from
And I'll be with you
What you gonna do when things go wrong?
What you gonna do when it all cracks up?
What you gonna do when the Love burns down?
What you gonna do when the flames go up?
Who is gonna come and turn the tide?
What's it gonna take to make a dream survive?
Who's got the touch to calm the storm inside?
Don't say goodbye
Don't say goodbye
In the final seconds who's gonna save you?
Oh, Alive and Kicking
Stay until your love is, love is, Alive and Kicking
Oh, Alive and Kicking
Sweetest angel came down
Took me by the hand
Said I've got things to offer you
Help you understand
If the bombs don't get you
I'll roll with you tonight
All these things inside your head
You've got to get it right
And the band played on
Spirits of the city
Were calling out my name
When jealous guys break down and cry
They got themselves to blame
If the bombs don't get you
Take courage in the night
All those dreams inside your head
You've got to get it right
Still the band played on
And the band played on
The room was getting hotter
And someone hit the light
There was power in the darkness
There was violence in the night
And the golden sons and daughters
They were coming up for air
You were standing with your back to me
And a halo round your hair
And the questions there were many
Like how can you survive
When it's the moment
You've been waiting for
This is the moment of your life
So every dreamer pass me by
With a fix me Jesus stare in his eyes
I was born to live
I was born to die
With the queen of soul
And the king of light
All the power in the land
Pull me through to the shadowland
I was driven by some hidden hand
It's the greatest gift of all
And the band played on
Shake the ghost within you
Get up, meet up, the rising sun
Cos the old days they're the dying days
And the new day's just begun
At the end of every party
Hear the singer sing his song
May his heart stay young forever
And the dream still lingers on
I want to die
I want to live again
I want to keep on keeping on
They say a coward dies a thousand times
But the brave they die just once
So walk to me, talk to me
Hold me now spectre of love
There's a coolness under fire
And a universal love
And the band played on
Played on, played on

Spirit of girl I know's in front of me
I brought her home its where she'd want to be
Picture of some strange tattooed bird on her thigh
Shine on walk on take a walk with me
Something going I can tell
The way you know its meant to be
There's something taking all your life
You're drifting far away from me
Spirit of the one I love walk in the room
It gets so hard when it's all too soon
Lover's lonely planet blue smoke in your eyes
Shine on get home when are you gonna rise
Shook my life
Mercury
You don't live here any more
Shine on
Mercury
Walking the the sunlight to the old courtyard
Where the weather's warm and the air tastes sweet
In a world where words can say what's in her eyes,
Shw will epitomise, so let her rest in peace.
Something's going I can tell
The way you know it's meant to be
Something taking all your life
And you're drifting far away from me
Something I can tell you
Mercury
Something I can tell you
In time only time speak for time in time
Time calls time cries, sweet friend of mine
Time could be a place
Spirit and a face
Take drops through time
While way below the whirlwinds will blow
A pretty nation sleeps in time
The beauty of it is
We're waking up to shake the hand of time
In time only time we'll speak for time
On a quiet night of a white hot day
Whisper the things that'll come our way
On a quiet night of a white hot day
Hold back the years hold back the years
Time calls time cries, sounds like a friend of mine
Time will run to meet the slick and shiny beast
That creeps to me through time
While way below the whirlwinds will blow
A pretty nation sleeps in time
The beauty of it is
We're waking up to shake the hand of time
In time only time in time only time in time
On a quiet night of a white hot day
Whisper the things that'll come our way
On a quiet night of a white hot day
Hold back the tears hold back the tears
In time only time speak for time
Quiet night of a white hot day
Whisper the things that'll come our way
On a quiet night of a white hot day
Hold back the tears hold back the tears
In time only time
Quiet night of a white hot day
Whisper the things that'll come our way
On a quiet, on a quiet night of a white hot day
Roll back the years roll back the years
In time only time we'll speak for time
On a quiet night
Hold back the tears to another day
Quiet night of a white hot day
Hold back the tears hold back the tears
In time only time speak for time
Quiet night of a white hot day
Whisper the things that'll come our way
On a quiet, on a quiet night of a white hot day
We'll hold back the tears
In time only time speak for time
Quiet night of a white hot day
Hold back the tears to another day
On a quiet night of a white hot day
Whisper the things ...
Shots ring out in Paris, the bells ring out in Rome
Photo's in the paper, buy you're getting old
Footsteps in the car park he's the governor of the night
The omens say crime don't pay but each dog has its price
When two worlds collide
The tears well inside
When two worlds collide
A boy is found in Naples, body's in a ditch
Young life counts for nothing when somebody's getting rich
There's flowers on the table, he sips water she drinks wine
I don't think that mercy is the language of our time
When two worlds collide
The tear drops inside
When two worlds collide
You break me up inside
Backstreet of Chicago a black man plays the gold
There's a man on every corner says he'd like to buy your soul
Buddhists in the temple, bullets in the night
Stepping out of their world, into your world, into mine in the jet black night
The tears well inside
When two worlds collide
You break me up inside
Get in get out of the rain
I'm gonna move on up to the waterfront
Step in step out of the rain
I'm gonna walk on up to the waterfront
Said one million years from today
I'm gonna step on up to the waterfront
Get in get out of the rain
Come in come out of the rain
So far, so cool, so close, yet still so far
So far, so cool, so close, yet still so
So far [3X]
The rain
I'm gonna move on up to the waterfront
Step in step out of the rain
I'm gonna walk on up to the waterfront
Said one million years from today
Step on up to the waterfront
Said come in come out of the rain [3X]
I'm gonna move on up to the front
I'm gonna walk on up to the front
I'm gonna live on up by the front
I'm gonna walk on up to the front
Come in come out of the rain
Come in come out of the rain
Said come in come out of the rain
Come in come out of the rain
Move on up
So step on up
Walk on up
Live on up
File away [3X]
So, walk away
So far
I walk away
So, so, walk away
Up to the waterfront
Up to the waterfront
So far
So far
Can you see us now we're on our own
And every chance has just come and just gone
Now it looks so dark and so cold
Think of the minds we sold
We'd better speak now
We'd better speak now
We'd better speak now
We'd better speak now
I can remember things that looked so bright
And I could talk to you without all this spite
Can you picture all that's past
Does your face deform so fast
We'd better speak now
We'd better speak now
We'd better speak now
We'd better speak now
`Cause when I stop and look into your head
I think of all the things that you said
When I look up into your eyes
I see the creature that I despise
Kill now
Kill now
Kill now
Kill now
Can you see us now we're on our own
And every chance has just come and gone
I've been wrong but you've been unkind
There's so much more that I can't find
Wasteland
Wasteland
See the white clouds roll in
Spirits lying next to me
Catch the wildflower falling
It's the wound that never bleeds
Hear the sirens calling
Spinning out their show
Hold the moment close to me
And take it down too slow
Be mine, be mine
War Babies
Be mine, be mine
War Babies
Can you still keep going?
Shattered pieces left inside
To face the final knowing
That there's something you can't hide
Be mine, be mine
War Babies
Be mine, be mine
War Babies
So will the force let go
Or will the phantoms stay?
Let the foreteller be your sight
It feels like something's happenin' today
Some shame's like no other
But nothing feels the same
Nothing feels the same
[Incomprehensible]
War Babies
Feels like something's happening today
[Incomprehensible]
Be mine
War Babies
Feels like something's happening
Feels like something's happening today
Nothing feels the same
War Babies
War Babies
Nothing feels the same
... One Two, One Two Three Four ...

Big wheel is spinning and
Doll is to Deutschmarks and
Pennies from heaven and

One hundred million with
Letters from thousands that

One thousand postcards from
Montevideo say

Get out of Bombay and
Go up to Bridgestone and
And look around to say
just what is missing and
Up on the catwalk and
Girls call for mother and
Dream of their boyfriends and
I don't know why

Got brilliant Dino and
Friends of confuse me and
Flip through the nighttime like
Mine up from heaven but

Hit it
Lead me away from the pouring rain down
Going down down down down
Lead me away
Oh, I, I, I, I, I
You put the song my back's of my mind
And You put the call out inside of me
Kick up inside of me
And You steal the wall that leads to survive
And shake off the ghost and then You turn around
In spite of me
Kick up inside of me
One for the first time
Two for the last time
Three for the thrill
and four for the last time
Five as I can see
You're gonna move deep, deep in, deep inside of me
Ahh, kick away, kick away
You put the fear in me
Ahh, kick away, kick away
'Cause as far as I can see
You move deep deep deep inside of me
Take me away
You're going up
Take me away up to another day
Whoa, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I
Open up the way
Lead me away
In the pouring rain
In the pouring rain
You put the song my back's of my mind
And You put the call out inside of me
Kick up inside of me
And we steal the wall that leads to survive
And shake off the ghosts and turn around
In spite of me
Shake off the ghost inside of me
One for the first time
Two for the last time
Three for the thrill
and four for the last time
Five as I can try
You move see deep in, deep inside of me
Take me away
Ohh, unto another day
Ahh, take me away

When will You take me away?
Ohh, unto another day
As far as I can ...
Shake off the ...
Here comes the shape, the speech that can't wait.
I see you're weight, shape, bib on his overalls.
What do you know about this world, anyway?
I see a man with a left-field plan,
"I call a vote for to light up the sky."
What do you know about this world, anyway?
Ameri-ameri-ameri-ameri American
and caught into flame.
Ameri-ameri-ameri-ameri American
massacre the day.
Ameri-ameri-ameri-ameri American
and caught into flame.
Ameri-ameri-ameri-ameri American
massacre the day.
Here comes the flag!
I'm walking under the black.
Every time you touch this place it feels like sin.
Every time the handshake starts the face draws in.
What do you know about this world, anyway?
Here comes the sun, an American son.
In here the sun shines so bright, eyes blind.
What do you know about this world, anyway?
Ameri-ameri-ameri-ameri American
and caught into flame.
Ameri-ameri-ameri-ameri American
massacre the day.
Ameri-ameri-ameri-ameri American
and caught into flame.
Ameri-ameri-ameri-ameri American
massacre the day.
Here comes the flag!
I'm walking under the black.
Here comes the flag!
Handshake...this world
Here comes the flag!
Handshake...this world
Air mobility, dress ability, tranquil
You'll never meet again
Eyes small
Take another fine walk
Expose, society can gain
Great face, white soul, great place
Then say goodbye
You take a walk
Another fine walk, mission, motion
Rolling and tumbling
Ambition in motion
Rolling and tumbling
She's sweating bullets
Grow in size, grow in fame
Grow more, take more
Uncontrollable
Unworkable
Air mobility, dress ability, c'est la vie
Inside, your doing things
Making face, making moves
You'll never do again
Great face, white soul, great shame
Poison in your hand
Take a walk
Take another fine walk, mission, motion
Rolling and tumbling
Ambition in motion
Rolling and tumbling
She's sweating bullets
Grow in size, grow in fame
Grow more, take more
Uncontrollable
Unworkable
Air mobility, dress ability, tranquil
You'll never meet again
Eyes small
Take another fine walk
Expose, society can gain
Great face, white soul, great place
Then say goodbye
Take a walk
Take another fine walk, mission, motion
Rolling and tumbling
Ambition in motion
Rolling and tumbling
She's sweating bullets
Grow in size, grow in fame
Grow more, take more
Uncontrollable
Unworkable
Uncontrollable
Unworkable
Mission, motion
Uncontrollable
Unworkable
Uncontrollable
You know my heart beats rhythm and my dreams still take me higher
I've travelled round the world but they can't cure my desire
The city looks pretty tonight
Hold on now let's go till morning
Get up on love and stand by me
Stand by love, stand by me
I'm a shell shocked lover, under cover that's my game
I'm your long lost brother, little sister what's your name
I feel so alone
I'm stranded and so far from home I'm calling
Get up on love and stand by me
Stand by love, and stand by me
Stand by love
Love - stand by love stand by me
Stand by love stand by me
Give me one good reason why you don't come play with fire
COs when the earth starts moving you know I'm no liar
The city looks pretty tonight
Oh hold on now let's go till morning
Get up on love and stand by me
Stand by love, and stand by me
Stand by love stand by
Stand by love
Stand by love stand by me
Stand by love stand by me
Stand by love stand by me
Stand by love stand by me
Stand by love stand by me
Stand by love stand by love
Stand by love stand by love
Stay, I'm burning slow, with me in the rain
Walking in the soft rain, calling out my name
See me burning slow
Brilliant days, wake up on brilliant days
Shadows of brilliant ways will change all the time
Memories, burning gold memories
Gold of day memories change me in these times
Somewhere there is some place
That one million eyes can't see
And somewhere there is someone
Who can see what I can see?
Someone, somewhere in summertime
Someone, somewhere in summertime
Someone, somewhere in summertime
Moments burn, slow burning golden nights
Once more see city lights, holding candles to the flame
Brilliant days, wake up on brilliant days
Shadows of brilliant ways will change me all the time
Somewhere there is some place
That one million eyes can't see
And somewhere there is someone
Who can see what I can see?
Someone, somewhere in summertime
Someone, somewhere in summertime
Someone, somewhere in summertime
Someone, somewhere in summertime
