A distant alarm, a sound from far away
We raised our heads towards the sky
But there was nothing there to see
The restless crowd is now breaking the silence
Anxiety is rising, the sky is turning dark
A riot is emerging, men beat men to death
This is unexplainable, a fight without a battle
The alarm resounds and someone called in a speaker
"This is not a drill, I repeat, this is not a drill"
Today we die, today we testify
All we do must come to an end, this is the end
Reversed evolving, turning people into beasts
They're feasting on each other, strong consume the weak
Flaming ruins, society is lost
Shattered city streets filled with blind, nameless creatures
The sky cracks open, dust is descending
Breathe the black air, feel darkness in your lungs
Silence, nothing makes a sound
But we can still hear the sound of the alarm
Today we die, today we testify
All we do must come to an end, this is the end
A distant early warning, a sound from far away
We raised our heads towards the sky

Take this song of freedom
Put it on & arm yourself for the fight
Don't let them blind your eyes now
Or listen to the devil liar
Feelings growing getting stronger
But even now my hands are tied
I feel restricted i can't cut loose this ball and chain that's round my neck
What can i say that's not been said before
Until there's a better way i'm gonna stay this way
Come gather round you people to me
And listen now to what i say
Sticks and stones will get us nowhere
There's twenty years yet we still don't know
What have we learnt is this all we can show
There must be a better way to end the day
We've got to stand now and push on through to the other side
We must not blind our eyes
Or listen to the devil liar.
Now we're the nation of many colours
But everybody's blood runs red
Cut our wrists and bind together
Too much blood has been spilt in hate
Do it now for your children 'cause their lives are yet to come
Do it now for you own sakes for freedom.
We've got to stand now and push on through to the other side
We must not blind our eyes
Or listen to the devil liar.
Do it now for your children 'cause their lives are yet to come
Do it now for you own sakes for freedom.
For freedom.
We've got to stand now and push on through to the other side
We must not blind our eyes
Do you wake up in the middle of the night
Find your eyes are on full beam
Totally wired
Sweat stains and troubled dreams
Your throat is burnin' dry
Caught in your worst nightmare
You cannot deny
And now you've become
What you said you'd never become
Hate yourself for all the things you've never done
You tell yourself you're too old
I know you're still young
You're wanting to scream
You still hold your tongue
Whoohoo, whoohoo
You're at the breaking point
Whoohoo, whoohoo
Just one step away
Whoohoo, whoohoo
You're at the breaking point
Whoohoo, whoohoo
And in the morning
Do you remember the night?
Put on dark sunglasses to shut out the light
Shut out the pain
Shut out the red in your eyes you hide
Everytime you look in the mirror
How do you live with your life?
Whoohoo, whoohoo
You're at the breaking point
Whoohoo, whoohoo
Just one step away
Whoohoo, whoohoo
You're at the breaking point
Whoohoo, whoohoo
Whoohoo, whoohoo
You're at the breaking point
Whoohoo, whoohoo
One step, one step away
Whoohoo, whoohoo
You're at the breaking point
It's funny how they shoot you down
When your hands are held up high
And you open up your heart and soul
But that's not enough for most.
I remember this much
There is nothing
You shouldn't speak of
If you got something to say
And there is no one
To be scared of
Just get them out of the way
GOING OUT IN A BLAZE OF GLORY
My heart is open wide
You can take anything that you want from me
There is nothing left to hide
GOING OUT IN A BLAZE OF GLORY
My hands are held up high
I'm learning how to hit back
I'm learning how to fight
The law of the jungle says
You look after yourself
But I remember this much
I love as I've been loved myself.
Don't forget what I told you now
When the question keeps on coming
And it's "How much more can you take"
When they've ripped your clothes to pieces
"Shouldn't you be gone by now"
But you keep on
GOING OUT IN A BLAZE OF GLORY
Setting your sights for the sky.
They can offer you anything at all
But your dreams must not be sold.
GOING OUT IN A BLAZE OF GLORY
No price is high enough
I'm fighting back with feeling
I'm fighting back with love
When the nails are biting into your hands
And the cross is heavy on your heart
Now is the time to really make a stand
MY HANDS ARE HELD UP HIGH.
(Going out)
IN A BLZE OF GLORY
(Going out)
IN A BLAZE OF GLORY
(Going out)
IN A BLAZE OF GLORY
GOING OUT IN A BLAZE OF GLORY
My heart is open wide
You can take anything that you want from me
But you cannot take my soul
GOING OUT IN A BLAZE OF GLORY
My hands are held up high
I'm learning how to hit back
Yes I'm learning how to fight
GOING OUT IN A BLAZE OF GLORY
Going out with my heart wide open
Going out with my hands held high
GOING OUT IN A BLAZE OF GLORY
(repeat)
Fighting back with love
Fighting back with LOVE!
No price is high enough
To take my soul, to take my soul
To take my soul
It's funny how they shoot you down
When your hands are held up high
I run for my life
Under the black sunlight
On deserted streets
Uneasy dreams I sleep
In this forgitten place
I'm a forgotten face
Sometimes I don't exist
Like the dust swept aside
Fade away on the wind fadeaway
To walk away into the tide walkaway
That's the end
That's the end
The end of the great black gold
That's the dream
That's the dream
The dream that I wake up to
The dawn of the great black sun
It shines on me
Scream for help
From this silent soul
This man feels no pain
This pride will not break
I want to breathe the night
I want to feel the air
I want to take it in deep
I want to set myself free
Fade away on the wind fadeaway
Walk away into the tide walkaway
Walkaway
That's the end
That's the end
The end of the great black gold
That's the dream
That's the dream
The dream that I wake up to
The dawn of the great black sun
That shines on me
Shines on me
Oh yeah
Shines on me
Oh shines on me
The great black sun
That shines on me
Shines on me
The great black sun
"this next song's about ireland
It's called across the broder"
Across the irish border
And hidden in a car
There's guns and ammunition
That were smuggled to armagh
Well that's not right - and they should stop the fight
And they should sort it out
And they let them march and let them shout
Kill it shoot it down
(and if you) bum it to the ground
Kill it light the fuse
What's the point and what's the use
Now mr. ian paisleys marching
From ireland to 'l.a.'
He's checking out your sympathy
And guns for u.d.a.
Well that's not right - and they should stop the fight
And they should sort it out
And they let them march and let them shout
Kill it shoot it down
(i'm gonna) bum it to the ground
Kill it light the fuse
What's the point & what's the use
"guitar"
Now all the letter bombs are posted
And the booby traps are laid
And the british soldiers marching
They're marching to their graves
Well that's not right - and they should stop the fight
And they should sort it out -
And they let them march
And let them shout.
Kill it shoot it down
(gonna) bum it to the ground
Kill it light the fuse
What's the point & what's the use
Kill it shoot it down
Bum it to the ground
Kill it light the fuse
Hey now now
Hey hey hey
You may be rich
You may be poor
You may have nothing in this world at all
You may be black,you maybe white
You may be a prisioner in your own times
You may be lost. You may be found
You may have been beaten up and knocked to the ground
You may have belief, suffer from deceit
Or you just might be blind
Oh no no
You may affect the truth
You may be seen as false
You may be a king or a vagabond
You may be up, you may be down
You may sit in judgement with the rest of the clowns
You may have love
You may have hate
You may be the President Of The United States
But even you, you can't sit and hide
While the world's resources die
This is absolute reality reality reality
We are all the cause,
The solution to reality
Ooh yeah yeah
Hey now now
Hey now now
You may be in control
You may be controlled
You may sit down 'till you do as you're told
You may work hard
You may never work at all
You may be accused but you don't know what for
You may be innocent or partly to blame
You may just be afraid in this power mad age
But there's one thing we all must find
Some peace in our time
This is absolute reality reality reality
If I may speak of truth this is absolute reality
The absolute time, the absolute place
The absolute now for the absolute solution
It's absolute reality now
Now Now Now
This is absolute reality reality reality
This is absolute reality reality reality
This is absolute
Oh reality
La la la la la
This is absolute
La la la la la
Reality
La la la la la
This is absolute
Let me put my arms around you
Give me refuge in your soul
I have drunk from fire water
Free spirits rising in the world
The new moon rises from the darkness
Lord I need a healing prayer
Give me a medicine for fever
Give me the cure, give me the cure so I can see
Burnt back to the bone
You gotta leave this child alone
I ain't got no home
Iæ¦ Burnt right back
Burnt right back to the bone
I am falling, I am falling
Feels like Iæ¦ fixin' to die
Wild, wild horses could not drag me away
From this earth to heavens gate
Burnt back to the bone
You gotta leave this child alone
I ain't got no home
Iæ¦ Burnt right back
Burnt right back to the bone
Running like a river
Rolling like a train
Free spirits rising
In the world today
Free spirits rising in the world
Burnt back to the bone
You'd better leave this child alone
I ain't got no home
Burnt back to the bone
You'd better leave this child alone
I ain't got no home
Running like a river
Rolling like a train
Why don't we do it
Why don't we do it
Why don't we do it in the raw
You'd better leave this child alone
Come on baby
Under the anvil of the sun
Sweat, like a train
I come, I come,
My body to dust
Scorched by the light of the sun
Burning light, burning white heat
Like wildfire
I sweat a fever
My body screams
Disintegrates in the heat
Our love is the FAITH that keeps on burning
I love to feel the RAIN IN THE SUMMERTIME
I love to feel the rain on my face
I love to feel the RAIN IN THE SUMMERTIME
I love to feel the rain on my face
Burnt at the stake, on a bed of fire
My body rises
Taking me higher
My loves desire
Is pure ascension fire
And love is the FAITH that keeps on burning
I love to feel the RAIN IN THE SUMMERTIME
I love to feel the rain on my face
I love to feel the RAIN IN THE SUMMERTIME
I love to feel the rain on my face
And then I run 'til the breath tears my throat
'Til the pain hits my side
As if I run fast enough
I can leave all the pain and the sadness behind
I love to feel the RAIN IN THE SUMMERTIME
I love to feel the rain on my face
I love to feel the RAIN IN THE SUMMERTIME
I love to feel the rain on my face
(I love to feel the rain on my face)
Outside in ruthless city canyons
Rivers of people oveflow
Gunshots in the skyway valley madness
Ricochet as my mind starts to implode
Oh no, no
Help me
Help me
I'm trapped in a Prison without prison bars
Help me
Help me
I'm trapped in a Prison without Prison bars
Everyday someone's trying to sell me something
Through coloured images flashing on my t.v. screen
But my mind is stripped there's no reaction
I don't get what they're saying to me no more
No more
Help me
Help me
I'm trapped in a prison without Prison bars
Help me
Help me
I'm trapped in a prison without prison bars
(Help me, help me)
Searchlights overhead staring down on me
I've got a mountain of trouble to release
One day the hunter will be the hunted
Got my back up against the wall
Trapped in a prison without bars
Trapped in a prison without
prison bars
Trapped in a prison without
prison bars
Help me
Help me
I'm trapped in a prison without prison bars
Help me
Help me
I'm trapped in a prison without prison bars
I was born of nineteen fifty nine
That'll be the day rock'n'roll died
Far away on a dark and stormy night
Brought into the new decade
The sixties and her pearly gates
A hard rain fell and the times forever changed
In the back of a car with the wind in our hair
Speeding down the road going anywhere
Was it true we were really going nowhere?
Sixty eight rang like a ricochet
The world arose to a nightmare day
Some people found their voice and a world to change
One small step for man was one giant leap for mankind
How I wish that we could walk that way tonight
On a Woodstock field in the heat of the night
Rock'n'roll music defined the times
The sound of generations collide
These moments in time
(These moments in time)
Live on forever in my mind
(Live on forever in my mind)
Even though we've said goodbye
(These moments in time)
Live on forever in my mind
And the seventies king of rock'n'roll
In Gracelands lost his throne
There won't be any comebacks tomorrow
No Elvis, Beatles or the Rolling Stones
Why they were taken away? God only knows
We formed a band we were haunted by their ghosts
I remember it now like it was yesterday
Playing those guitars at a frantic pace
Somewhere we got lost along the way
These moments in time
(These moments in time)
Live on forever in my mind
(Live on forever in my mind)
Even though we've said goodbye
(These moments in time)
Live on forever in my mind
Through the London streets in a taxi cab
A radio played an epitaph
Imagine, the dream is over
Oh I've been silent way too long
You never thought I knew what was going on
You probably think that you are in this song
The tragedies behind the dreams
Belie the truth and the honesty
I have seen the dirt and the glory
These moments in time
(These moments in time)
Live on forever in my mind
(Live on forever in my mind)
Even though we've said goodbye
(These moments in time)
Live on forever in my mind
These moments in time
(These moments in time)
Live on forever in my mind
(Live on forever in my mind)
Even though we've said goodbye
(These moments in time)
Guys wearing gas masks are levelling their guns
At school children singing whilst studying sums
Itæ¯ a clear sign of violence
And it's laced with heavy support
This whole situations been dragged through the dirt
By gargoyles and monsters and man eating birds
Who act like the jury but you never see them stand up in court
It's savage and ugly the riots unfurl
But these are the ways of this wonderful world
These are the ways of this wonderful world
Well back at the banquet a madam meets her fate
Whilst almost a mile from her country estate
The helpless and homeless are dancing a ring in the rain
Prompted by pressure from home and abroad
Fifty five of them ministers will try to reach accord
On some ill judged remarks concerning madam baby Lorraine
It's savage and ugly the riots unfurl
But these are the ways of this wonderful world
These are the ways of this wonderful world
Consignments of bibles and passenger planes
Japanese funerals and gambling games
And backers and bidders are dealing in textiles and lace
They order revues that will salvage the state
Guaranteed to put off and pass up that decay
While the latest concerns are reports of a slackening pace
Well it's savage and ugly the riots unfurl
But these are the ways of this wonderful world
These are the ways of this wonderful world
(Well rock it son)
Well it's savage and ugly the riots unfurl
But these are the ways of this wonderful world
These are the ways of this wonderful world
Yes these are the ways of this wonderful world
So don't be a panicking haven't you heard
That these are the ways of this wonderful world
This wonderful world
(One more time)
Violence
Agression
Homeless
Helpless
Well,
There's a young boy standing
Staring at the world
You know he can't control his anger
You can see it in his eyes
He's gonna smash the window
He's gonna tear down the walls
Hey mister you don't understand it
Take a look at it through my eyes
These are the kids they're powerless
So you tell them so
These are the kids they're powerful
Don't say you haven't been told
(And we'll go)
MARCHING ON
Hear our sound hear our voice
We're growing stronger
(And we'll go)
MARCHING ON
Weæ®e not alone and we're keeping on, we're
MARCHING ON
Take a walk round your city walls
Before it all comes down
(Tumbeling down)
Take a walk down any street
You're gonna feel the stares of us all
And can you feel it burning
(Burning)
Shame is what it's called
You'd better look at what you have created
And think of all the people who hate you
These are the people that made you
When you said you cared for us all
These are the people whoæ£l break you
Get prepared for the fall
(And we'll go)
MARCHING ON
Hear our sound hear our voice
We're growing stronger
(And we'll go)
MARCHING ON
Weæ®e not alone and we're keeping on, we're
MARCHING ON
We're the young who stand up
We must never be silenced
We've gotta speak up now
For all our sakes
And lift our voices higher
`Let's sing our song
Keep on marching marching
And never forget
About the power on the right side
Fights the power on the left
We have got to stand together
Forget the east and west
'Cause there's another voice crying in the ghetto
Another mouth to feed
Another heart beating in the ghetto
Another soul to set free
(And we'll go)
MARCHING ON
Hear our sound hear our voice
Weæ®e growing stronger
(And we'll go)
MARCHING ON
Weæ®e not alone and we're keeping on, we're going
MARCHING ON
Keep on MARCHING, MARCHING, MARCHING ON
Lift up your voices higher
(MARCHING, MARCHING, MARCHING ON)
Oh yeah
Lift up your voices now
And sing this song
(MARCHING, MARCHING, MARCHING ON)
Cause our hearts must have the courage
To keep on
Your head on my shoulder
Two months youæ³e been a soldier
I feel so sick inside
Two months youæ have been alive
So no one here knows your surname
No one knows from where you came
The Red Cross takes you to your grave
For which your government kindly pays
WHITE CROSS upon the hillside
There lies that unknown soldier
No one can remember your name
So here I stand by your graveside
The steel helmet lies upon your cross
They said you died for king and country
Thatæ¯ no comfort to the life youæ³e lost
FIRST LIGHT
The sniper saw you.
SECOND LIGHT
Took careful aim
THIRD LIGHT
He pulled the trigger on the gun
Dead dead dead.
WHITE CROSS upon the hillside There lies that unknown soldier
No one can remember your name
(So here beings the human harvest
Another war to end all wars
To give a life for rhyme nor reason
There are no words to justify the cause
So if our future lies in the scarlet fields
Who would be a patriot at the price of humanity?
WHO WOULD BE A PATRIOT AT THE PRICE OF HUMANITY?)
No, not me
NO NOT ME
WHITE CROSS upon the hillside
There lies that unknown soldier
No one can remember the
WHITE CROSS upon the hillside
There lies that unknown soldier
Born into a war and peace
Forced to choose between a right and wrong
Each man kills the thing he loves
For better or for worse
Face to face with a ragged truth
Mixed up and torn in two
And turned your back on the only thing
That could save you from yourself
WHERE WERE YOU HIDING
WHEN THE STORM BROKE
WHEN THE RAIN BEGAN TO FALL
WHEN THE THUNDER AND THE LIGHTNING STRUCK
AND THE RAIN AND THE FOUR WINDS DID HOWL
After all time building up
Comes inevitable knocking down
(ONE BY ONE )
Comes receivers liars gamblers
Pick pocket entourage
(TWO BY TWO)
Selling out is a cardinal sin
Sinning with a safety net (THREE BY THREE)
They say that all things come in threes
Here comes the third degree
WHERE WERE YOU HIDING
WHEN THE STORM BROKE
WHEN THE RAIN BEGAN TO FALL
WHEN THE THUNDER AND THE LIGHTNING STRUCK
AND THE RAIN AND THE FOUR WINDS DID HOWL
All cards are marked
And all fates will collide
The truth is the truth
Or the truth is surely a lie
Get back in your shelter
If you can't come down off the fence
And one more question
Where were you?
Where were you?
WHERE WERE YOU HIDING
WHEN THE STORM BROKE
WHEN THE RAIN BEGAN TO FALL
WHEN THE THUNDER AND THE LIGHTNING STRUCK
AND THE FOUR WINDS DID HOWL
WHERE WERE YOU HIDING
WHEN THE STORM BROKE
WHEN THE RAIN BEGAN TO FALL
WHERE WERE YOU HIDING
WHEN THE STORM BROKE
WHEN THE RAIN BEGAN TO FALL
WHERE WERE YOU HIDING
FOUR
WINDS
Home where my heart beats
Where my love waits for me
Where the winds of change
Howl into my face
There's rain off the headlands
Closes in by day
Don't cry, don't cry
Wipe you tears away
The rivers are rising
There is a flood in me
I can feel the heat
In the air that I breathe
Home
WHERE A TOWN ONCE STOOD
Home
Before a storm
Home
WHERE A TOWN ONCE STOOD
Home
Before a storm
Distant horizons
Drowning in the fire
Slowly, slowly
A life flashing by
The rivers are rising
There is a flood in me
I can feel the heat
In the air that I breathe
Home
WHERE A TOWN ONCE STOOD
Home
Before a storm
Home
WHERE A TOWN ONCE STOOD
Home
Before a storm
Home
WHERE A TOWN ONCE STOOD
Home
Before a storm
Home
WHERE A TOWN ONCE STOOD
Home
Before a storm
People
Light up your light tonight
I wanna see you shine
Fight despair
Donæ° let it get you down
Donæ° let it tie you down
Thereæ¯ a man with a wife and three children
Whoæ¯ been told he canæ° work
Thereæ¯ a boy whoæ¯ been told thereæ¯ no future
Heæ¯ been led by the blind.
And I can hear them crying
As they try to sleep through the night
I can hear them cry
I can hear them cry
WE ARE THE LIGHT
WE ARE THE LIGHT
WE ARE THE LIGHT OF OUR LIVES
Hold on
To what you believe is right
Donæ° let anyone turn your eyes
Look ahead
Donæ° stop to look behind
The past ainæ° no friend of mine
Thereæ¯ a failure who is standing on the corner
For he cannot see hope
Thereæ¯ a blind man who is standing at the crossroads
For he cannot see light
And as we fire the candles
We must make sure they burn through the night
For if they should die
Thereæ be no light
WE ARE THE LIGHT
WE ARE THE LIGHT
WE ARE THE LIGHT OF OUR LIVES
WE ARE THE LIGHT
WE ARE THE LIGHT OF OUR LIVES
SHINE YOUR LIGHT
SHINE YOUR LIGHT
SHINE YOUR LIGHT
SHINE
SHINE YOUR LIGHT
SHINE YOUR LIGHT
SHINE YOUR LIGHT
SHINE
WE ARE THE LIGHT
SHINE ON, SHINE ON SHINE
Walk forever by my side
Never lose sight of the day
When we will run through all our weakness
On through the fields
Strewn with our broken dreams
Walk forever by my side
Stay forever in the light
Never lose sight of the way
For I alone can't face the future
I need your strength
To help me make it through
Walk forever by my side
Stay forever in the light
Walk on 'til morning
All my days are yours
Walk on 'til morning
All my days are yours
Hope you'll stay with me tonight
Lift the veil from my eyes
For I am weak and I am foolish
I need your love
To see me through the darkness
Hope you'll stay with me tonight
Walk on 'till morning
All my days are yours
Walk on 'till morning
Declare yourself an unsafe building
Suffer the indignation of your world,
To climb the ladders you've gotta suss out the snakes
Remember your height remember to never look down.
'Cause now you've made your choice you've gotta take your chance
Find a way out now you're
unsafe unsafe
Come out of the cupboard and into the real world
Open the window and let some light into your life
It's dark in the tunnel but keep on coming through
Straight down the line and sure enough you'll see the lights that shine
'Cause now you're young you've got to run you've got to take your chance
Get out you can.
I have declared myself unsafe
I have declared myself unsafe
Unsound, unknown, unwanted, unnecessary
I've been condemmed
I'm unsafe
Behind the wardrobe there lies a better life
Burn all your old clothes start again make yourself something new
And the bed you've made no you need not sleep in it
Throw back the covers and make all of your dreams come true
Rebuild your life rebuild your home rethink your values
Rethink yourself right through
I have declared myself unsafe
I have declared myself unsafe
Unsound, unknown, unwanted, unnecessary
I've been condemmed
I'm unsafe
And leave behind your bridges burning
Take to hills your time will soon come
Because you're here for a purpose but you'll have to search for it
Whatever it is you have got to decide
'Cause now you're young you've got to run
Don't waste your life don't waste your life.
I have declared myself unsafe
I have declared myself unsafe
Unsound, unknown, unwanted, unnecessary
I've been condemmed
(Come on let's rock and roll now)
In the dirty towns on the dirty streets
Thereæ¯ a violent wind that blows
Across the generations men like me
Have been swept to these crossroads
Blown out of house, blown out of home
Blown down the road
On the wind that blows away my words
Blows away my reason
Blows away my soul
Taking my existence
Oh, the wind blows away my words
Thereæ¯ a rushing sound that is sometimes heard
When your mind wonæ° let you sleep
Itæ¯ the flickering sound of a thief
Whoæ¯ come to tear up all these dreams
Stealing from the heart, stealing from the soul
Stealing from the future
On the wind that blows away my words
Blows away my reason
Blows away my soul
Taking my existence
Oh the wind (oh the wind)
Blows away (blows away)
My words
I'm blown out house
Blown out of home
Blown down the road
On the wind that blows away my words
Stealing from the heart, stealing from the soul
Stealing from the future
On the wind (oh the wind) that blows away my words (oh the wind)
Blows away my reason (blows away)
Blows away my soul (oh the wind)
Taking my existence (blows away)
Oh the wind (oh the wind)
Blows away (blows away)
Blows away my words
(Oh the wind)
Blows away my reason (blows away)
Blows away my soul (oh the wind)
Taking my existence (blows away)
Oh the wind (oh the wind)
Blows away (blows away)
Blows away my words
Oh the wind
Blows away
Oh I have been out searching with the black book in my hand
And I've looked between the lines that lie on the pages that I tread
I met the walking dude,religious, in his wom down cowboy boots
He walked liked no man on earth
I swear he had no name (had no name)
I swear he had no name
Come on down & meet your maker
Come on down & make the stand
Come on down, come on down,
Come on down & make the stand.
As I crawled beneath the searchlights
Looking through the floorboards of this life
I met Doctor Strangeloves cousin
He bore the marks of time
"Hey! Trashcan where you going boy
Your eyes are feet apart
Is that the end you're carrying Shall I play the funeral march" (play the march)
"Play the funeral march"
Come on down & meet your maker
Come on down & make the stand
Come on down, come on down,
Come on down & we'll make the stand.
Come on down & meet your maker
Come on down & make the stand
Come on down, come on down,
Come on down, we'll make the stand.
When I looked out the window
On the hardship that had struck I saw the seven phials open
The plague claimed man and son
Four men at a grave in silence With hats bowed down in grace
A simple wooden cross,
It had no epitaph engraved (it had no)
It had no epitaph engraved.
Come on down & meet your maker
Come on down & make the stand
Come on down, come on down,
Come on and make the stand
Come on down & meet your maker
Come on down & make the stand
Come on down, come on down,
I'm a man who bites hard on the bullet of silence
If only you could feel the pain I hide
Know me, like I know you
Still water running deep in the cavern of my soul
So many roads lead nowhere
Know me, like I know you
Like a rock, waves clash over me
Standing silent, waiting to be set free
The rock, the rock, the rock
Will never let you down
The rock will never fall
Or tumble to the ground
The rock, the rock, the rock
Will never let you down
The rock will never fall
Or tumble to the ground
Like a rock
I've been accused of being many things
None of them ever hit the mark
Know me, like I know you
Like a rock, waves clash over me
Standing silent, waiting to be set free
The rock, the rock, the rock
Will never let you down
The rock will never fall
Or tumble to the ground
The rock, the rock, the rock
Will never let you down
The rock will never fall
Or tumble to the ground
Like a rock
The rock, the rock, the rock
Will never let you down
The rock will never fall
Or tumble to the ground
The rock, the rock, the rock
Will never let you down
The rock will never fall
Or tumble to the ground
Like a rock
Every day I get up from off the floor
I keep on coming back for more and more
So many times I get it in the face
I keep on running ' til my dying day
Rain on the roadway, thunder in the sky
The light of day disappears from sight
As the road opens up in front of my eyes
These wheels are burning up the miles
As the road opens up in front of my eyes
The only limitation is in my mind
I drive awake my eyes are on full beam
The wind is screaming into my slipstream
Something keeps pulling me back from sleep
Whatever it is I want to see
These wheels are burning up the road tonight
The fuel is pumping into my mind
As the road opens up in front of my eyes
These wheels are burning up the miles
As the road opens up in front of my eyes
The only limitation is in my mind
I'll be there when it all comes down
I'll be there
I'll be there when it all comes down
I'll be there
When it all comes down
Come on, come on
As the road opens up in front of my eyes
These wheels are burning up the miles
As the road opens up in front of my eyes
The only limitation is in my mind
The Road
Fuel pumping gasoline in my mind
From the engine to my body
This wheels on fire
The Road
As the road opens up in front of my eyes
The only limitation is in my mind
I've swept the floors of all my kings
I've opened doors and let the tourists in
Days of wine and roses
Prime ministers, red robes
These days are gone
I've stood on guard as my Queens were born
I've cut the grass on many English lawns
Of strawberries and ice cream
Of cricket and cold beer
These days
London Tower's burning. Parliament's ablaze
Buckingham Palace has gone
Somewhere in the distance my darling she's a crying
I should be by her side
This is the day the ravens left the tower
This is the day the ravens fly away
Fly away, fly away.
Fly away, fly away.
Fly away
I've stood on the Changing of the Guards
To the Bloody Tower watching the Crown Jewels
A penny for the guy sir?
Will you vote left or right?
These days
London Bridge is falling.
St. Pauls Cathedral bums
The tower blocks are gone
Somewhere in the distance my darlings she's a crying
I should be by her side.
This is the day the ravens left the tower
This is the day the ravens fly away
Fly away, fly away (fly away)
Fly away, fly away (fly away)
Fly away, fly away (fly away)
Fly away, fly away
And if I live to see the dawning of the day
I hope I'm in your arms as we get swept away
Oh darling I will be home soon
Darling I will be home soon
(Ring a ring a roses, a pocket full of posies
And if you know what is the answer
Why donæ° you tell me
What does it feel like
To be free
What does it feel like
Take a look at the punks
On the run from all the ministers
Collecting for the criminals
And the judges or the blame
If youæ®e innocent or youæ®e guilty
Or youæ³e never been given a chance
And you'll never find an answer
Thereæ¯ always, always, always, always
Just one more link to the chain
And if youæ³e found
What you think youæ³e been looking for
Donæ° look back
Because you wonæ° find nothing
Anymore
No, I guess you won't find nothing
Take a look at the punks
On the run from all the ministers
Collecting for the criminals
And the judges or the blame
If youæ®e innocent or youæ®e guilty
Or youæ³e never been given a chance
And you'll never find an answer
Thereæ¯ always, always, always, always
Just one more link to the chain
Just one more link to the chain
Just one more
(Just one more link to the chain)
Take a, take a, take a look
(Just one more link to the chain)
Take a look at the punks
(Just one more link to the chain)
At the ministers collecting
(Just one more link to the chain)
And there's always, always, always, always
GIVE ME LOVE
GIVE ME HOPE
GIVE ME STRENGTH
GIVE ME SOMEONE TO LIVE FOR
Who will light the fire
That I need to survive
Who will be the life blood
Coursing through my veins
Like a river flowing
That will never change
I need someone
I can depend on
'Cause I'm a man of emotions
Who can't hide the tears
I'm a man of feeling
Who can't hide the pain
I'm alone on the outskirts of town
Where no one knows my name
I'm at the point in my life
Where I need affection
WON'T YOU
GIVE ME LOVE (Give me love)
GIVE ME HOPE (Give me hope)
GIVE ME STRENGTH
GIVE ME SOMEONE TO LIVE FOR
GIVE ME LOVE (Give me love)
GIVE ME HOPE (Give me hope)
GIVE ME STRENGTH
GIVE ME SOMEONE TO LIVE FOR
I NEED IT NOW
I NEED IT NOW
Someone write me a letter
I need to know that I'm still alive
Someone give me a telephone call
I need to hear a human sound
Someone open up a door
And let me out of this place
I've been caged up for oh so long
I don't know if I'm living or dying
SOMEONE BETTER
GIVE ME LOVE (Give me love)
GIVE ME HOPE (Give me hope)
GIVE ME STRENGTH
GIVE ME SOMEONE TO LIVE FOR
GIVE ME LOVE (Give me love)
GIVE ME HOPE (Give me hope)
GIVE ME STRENGTH
GIVE ME SOMEONE TO LIVE FOR
I walk alone across the outskirts of town
I can't control what I'm going through now
Will you light the fire that I need to survive
Will you donate the life blood
coursing through my veins
Will you open up the door & let me out of this place
I've been caged up for oh so long
I don't know if I'm living or dying
WON'T YOU
GIVE ME LOVE (Give me love)
GIVE ME HOPE (Give me hope)
GIVE ME STRENGTH
GIVE ME SOMEONE TO LIVE FOR
GIVE ME LOVE (Give me love)
GIVE ME HOPE (Give me hope)
GIVE ME STRENGTH

Well I find myself in reverie
'Bout what we might have had
And what might have been
We had something going once
That was such a long, long time ago
It was way back in '76
Our friendship formed of pure innocence
We first met in Mathew Street
Where we heard something that would set us free
A sign stands over a door, it says
"Four lads who shook the world"
In the depths of those heady nights
We would dream of those bright lights
Oh my friend, Oh my friend, Oh my friend
And my friend John, he went away
He made some mistakes
Spent time in Walton jail
And now when I see him we still talk
But there's no light shining in his eyes
And Susie, she was seventeen
And more beauty in this world
I swear you'll never see
I was gonna be king
And she was gonna be queen
But now all she does is hide behind the tears
If there was more sense in this world
And work wasn't so hard to find
You would not be going your way
I would not be going mine
Oh my friend, Oh my friend, Oh my friend
Somewhere tonight out on the street
Somewhere beneath this city's heat
In the eyes of strangers who pass me by
Life is cruel and so unkind
Oh, Oh the SPIRIT OF '76
And Pete has seen his dreams come true
But that don't make him no hero
He's just one of the lucky few
If a man can't change the world these days
I still believe a man can change his own destiny
But the price is high that has got to be paid
For everyone who survives there are many who fail
I've seen my friends caught out in that crossfire
All their dreams and hopes smashed on the funeral pyre
I will never give in until the day I die
Get myself some independence
Carve out a future with my two bare hands
Oh my friend, Oh my friend, Oh my friend
Somewhere tonight out on the street
Somewhere beneath this city's heat
In the eyes of strangers who pass me by
Life is cruel and so unkind
Oh, Oh the SPIRIT OF '76
Mersey lights shine in the distance
Same as they did for us then
Mersey lights shine bright in the distance
Where are you now my friend?
You see some nights when I can't sleep
I still think of you
And all the promises,all our dreams we shared
I know those lights still call to you
I can hear them now
I can hear them now
(Still shining for us)
(Let em shine)
(Can you hear them)
(Can you hear them)
(Lights are still shining)
Somewhere tonight out on the street
Somewhere beneath this city's heat
In the eyes of strangers who pass me by
Life is cruel and so unkind
Oh- Oh
Where's it gone
There's a fire beneath my skin
There's a fever that makes me ill
Got a love, a love that kills
I've got twenty four hours to live
Comeback, I'm begging you please
Comeback, I'm down on my knees
Comeback, I'm begging you please
I don't know why and I don't understand
How you sold me down the river
I don't know why
I don't understand
How you sold me down the river
SOLD ME DOWN THE RIVER
There's a rose across my chest
Got your name written on it
Love's the drug that I live by
Give me a shot before I die
Comeback, I'm begging you please
Comeback, I'm down on my knees
Comeback, I'm begging you please
I don't know why
I don't understand
How you sold me down the river
I don't know why
I don't understand
How you sold me down the river
SOLD ME DOWN THE RIVER
Sold me down the river tonight
Whoo whoo
I've got twenty four hours
I don't know why
I don't understand
How you sold me down the river
I don't know why
I don't understand
How you sold me down the river
SOLD ME DOWN THE RIVER
All right
Sold me
Sold me
Sold me down the river
Sold me
Sold me
Sold me down the river
I don't know why
I don't understand
How you sold me down the river
I don't know why
I don't understand
How you sold me down the river
SOLD ME DOWN THE RIVER
SOLD ME DOWN THE RIVER
And now they're trying to take my life away
Forever young I cannot stay
On every corner I can see them there
They don't know my name they don't know my kind
They're after you with their promises
(Promises of love)
They're after you to sign your life away
(Yeah, yeaoh)
Sixty-eight Guns will never die
Sixty-eight Guns our battle cry
Sixty-eight Guns
Sixty-eight Guns
Oh, the Sixty-eight
Living in the backstreets
That's our home from home
The painted walls were all we've ever known
æ
£he Guns Forever' that's our battle cry
It is the flag that we fly so high
For every day they'll try and drag us down
(Drag us down and down)
I cry with anger I have done no crime
(Yeah, yeaoh)
Sixty-eight Guns will never die
Sixty-eight Guns our battle cry
Sixty-eight Guns will never die
Sixty-eight Guns our battle cry
Sixty-eight Guns
Sixty-eight Guns
The Sixty-eight
Up on the terrace I can hear the crowd roar
Sixty Eight Guns
And in the subway I can hear them whisper
Sixty Eight Guns
Through all the raging glory of the years
We never once thought of the fears
For what we'd do when the battle cry was over .
Nothing lasts forever is all they seem to tell you when you're young
(I, I do swear
To unbreak the promise
To unbreak the vow
Unbreak it)
When you're young
Have no illusion, no disillusion
Unbreak the promise
Unbreak the vow
Uphold the promise
SIXTY EIGHT GUNS
Sixty-eight Guns will never die
Sixty-eight Guns our battle cry
Sixty-eight Guns will never die
Sixty-eight Guns our battle cry
Sixty-eight Guns
Sixty-eight Guns
The sixty eight guns
Sixty eight guns
"Son" said the preacher " æ
ºor I break the news
Let me take you to the heart of this promised land"
Built on the green hill far away
Where somebody cried Somebody died in the wind
You donæ° have to run to the palaces of gold
Bricks and mortar one day must surely fall
And son you will look Monroe right between the eyes
And pray that somehow
Someoneæ¯ gonna come along
And save her, save her soul

Look no further than your own backyard
Live your life as it should be lived
Follow your heart for the truth is everlasting
And the wine runs cold in the blood of men
The bread is dry, stale pushed in the back of your mind
And the senatoræ¯ dream is running wild today
And the big dukeæ¯ star in death
Still fighting off the hounds of hell
For we all fall short of the glory my friend
Even all the kingæ¯ horses and all the kingæ¯ business men
Iæ³e got a golden eagle flying high
But I and I still find it hard to keep the wolves at bay
AND WE'RE GONNA
SHOUT TO THE DEVIL SHOUT TO THE SKY

You say that there's no place to run to
Is that any kind of place for you to hide?
You say no one is telling you the truth anymore
Then for God's sake who's telling lies?
Now you might need something to believe in
Thatæ£l help you to see what is right
So save it 'til later and later and later again
Save all your crying 'til later
Take a hard, hard look around
Save all your crying 'til later
You know it won't fall down
If today feels like it never should be
And you can't get your words out right
And the pressure is down like a guillotine
To cut off every road from the light
Now you might need something to believe in
Thatæ£l help you to see what is right
So save it 'til later and later and later again
Save all your crying 'til later
Take a hard, hard look around
Save all your crying 'til later
Because it won't fall down
Nothing I ever do seems to please you honey
You always seem to need more than I've got
But Iæ¦ going to love you
So save it æil later and later and later again
Save all your crying 'til later
Take a hard, hard look around
Save all your crying 'til later
Because it won't fall down
You know it won't fall down
There's colors on the streets
Red, white and blue
People shuffling their feet
People sleeping in their shoes
There's a warning sign on the road ahead
There's a lot of people saying, ?They'd be better off dead?
Don't feel like Satan but I am to them
So I try to forget it any way I can
Keep on rockin' in the free world
Keep on rockin' in the free world

There's a woman of the night
Got a baby in her hand
Near an old street light
Down by a garbage can
Now she puts the kid away and she's gone to get a hit
She hates her life and what she?s done to it
There's one more kid who'll never go to school
Never get to fall in love, never get to be cool
Keep on rockin' in the free world
Keep on rockin' in the free world
Keep on rockin' in the free world
Keep on rockin' in the free world
Keep on rockin'
There's a thousand points of light for the homeless man
There's a kinder, gentler, machine gun hand
Got department stores, toilet paper
Styrofoam boxes for the ozone layer
There's a man of the people
Saying, ?Keep hope alive"
I've got fuel to burn
I've got roads to drive
Keep on rockin? in the free world
Keep on rockin' in the free world

Early one morning
Across the fields of dawn
Crooked is the shadow
That falls on my land
Storm clouds overhead
Like birds of prey in wait
How can we undo
What cannot be undone
I feel the darkness heavy
Heavy on my heart
There's distance between us
Tearing us apart
How many rivers must I cross?
Somehow, somewhere I will find a way
How many rivers must I cross?
Somehow, somewhere I will find a way to cross
I see the proud black mountain
Beneath an angry sun
Under drowning valleys
Our disappearing tongue
How many battles must we fight
Before we start a war?
How many wounds will open
Before the first blood falls?
Once the banks are broken
Floods must surely come
Once the land rips open
Rivers of blood will run
How many rivers must I cross?
Somehow, Somewhere I will find a way
How many rivers must I cross?
Somehow, somewhere I will find a way to cross
How many battles must we fight
Before we start a war?
How many wounds will open
Before the first blood falls?
How many rivers must I cross?
Somehow, Somewhere I will find a way
How many rivers must I cross?
A renegade
Rides a run away train
To liberate
Tear these bonds assunder
A fugitive
Running from a chain gang
Comfort me

Running all my life
Running all my day
Running through the night

Take me now
I'm so tired
Take me now
This time, forever
RESCUE ME
I'm on the run like a refugee
RESCUE ME
Oh come on rescue me
I'm destitute
I'm looking for protection

Take me now

"OK This is a song called reason 41.
One two three four"
Well I used to wonder why that
When it's black there is no white
And why that when it's day
There is never any night
I got talking to a soldier and he tried to set things right
He said, "If you want peace them you will always have to fight"
I went searching in the desert
Where it just began to rain
And I met up with this drunken bum who said he'd "lost his name"
He said, "I put it in this bottle and it drifted out to sea".
I said, "there is no water here" and he walked away from me
So then I asked for help from a very clever man
He kept looking down at his figures
He was a very busy man
I told him what the problem was He said, "that's sad. I'd like to help you boy but there is nothing I can add"
"Guitar"
Now my throat was getting dry And I was feeling kinda rough
But I just kept on searching 'till that I'd had enough
I came across a doctor he said, "his cure was the best"
He diagnosed my troubles, but I didn't get no rest
"One more time"
Now I was really kind of puzzed
By the things that had been said
And all the people that I've mentioned started spinning round my head
I gave it up for lost and it suddenly was clear
The only reason you are there is 'cos I'm over here
The first heaven is silver
And you are silver, you shine white light
The second heaven's sacred
And you are sacred of pure soul
The third heaven is pearl
And your name is forever written
Oh, don't walk away
No, don't walk away
I'm walking in the presence of love
I'm walking in the seven heavens
I'm alive with the agony, the ecstasy
Strive for the pleasure and the pain
I'm walking in the presence of love
The fourth heaven is white gold
And you cry white golden tears
The fifth heaven is holy
You are the angel of sweet mercy
The sixth heaven is of ruby
Of the wind and of the earth
Oh, don't walk away
No, don't walk away
I'm walking in the presence of love
I'm walking in the seven heavens
I'm alive with the agony, the ecstasy
Strive for the pleasure and the pain
I'm walking in the presence of love
I don't want to die in a hell on earth
In the valley below in the pain and the hurt
In the sea of danger drowning me
There's a ray of hope
When I'm walking in the presence of love
I'm walking in the seven heavens
I'm alive with the agony, the ecstasy
Strive for the pleasure and the pain
I'm walking in the presence of love
I'm walking in the presence of love
I'm walking in the seven heavens
I'm walking in the presence of love
I'm coming into heaven of love
I'm walking in the presence of love
I'm walking into heaven of love
I'm walking in the presence of love
Daylight breaks on the streets of my life
Where no sun shines there bums refusal to die
In the shadows of heartache my dreams come alive
I've been searching for love to give meaning to life
Oh no, you make me feel real
Oh no, I've got you, you've got me
And that's all we need
A reason to believe
Tonight my love will never die
Tonight I will lay down my life
Wherever we run wherever we go
Tonight I will be yours and you will be mine
In the morning light hope comes on the dawn
A turning point after all these years
In the strength borne of hardship
I knew we'd make it through
So throw back your head babe
These dreams are coming true
Oh no, there's blood sweat and tears now
Oh no, I've found you, you've found me
And that's all we need a reason to believe
Tonight my love will never die
Tonight I will lay down my life
Wherever we run wherever we go
Tonight I will be yours and you will be mine
Tonight we'll go beyond these realms
Of where the sun goes down
We will be together
There is permanence in change
'Cause I found you you found me
And now we've found a reason to believe
Tonight our love will never die
Tonight I will lay down my life
Wherever we run wherever we go
Tonight I will be yours and you will be mine
You will be mine
You will be mine
You will be mine
Daylight breaks on the streets of my life
All I want is someone to believe in
But who to believe is hard to define
When some say the future is unwritten
Some say the simple things in life are the best
When all is dark and dusty down the tracks
And all paths from exile have roadblocks on all points
Saying "No, No way out of here, go back from where you came from"
And some say when you're down you fight the hardest
Some tighten the belt others let go
Someone once said, if you don't ask you don't receive
Someone showed me that written down in the back of a book
And as I reach out and see my life unfold
I tell you this because I truly believe in it
Ask and you'll receive my friend
Seek and you shall find
Oh won't you help me now.
Only the thunder knows
What drives a man in his darkest throes
Fortune and poverty
They're oh so close, oh so close
ONLY THE THUNDER
And some say everything must have a reason
Some say everything will one day soon come to pass
Some say that's life, that's the way the cards fall
Someone once said the answer's blowin' in the wind
And the word I seek to answer all my questions
Is written down on everything I see
It's in the words written on the subway walls
It's filling the concert halls.
Only the thunder knows
What drives a man in his darkest throes
Fortune and poverty
They're oh so close, oh so close
ONLY THE THUNDER
I know youæ®e out there in this world my friend
I know Iæ£l find you, I know Iæ£l find you
Iæ£l be searching all night through the thunder and rain
One day Iæ£l find you, one day Iæ£l find you
Oh won't you help me now
Only the thunder knows
What drives a man in his darkest throes
Fortune and poverty
Theyæ®e oh so close, oh so close
ONLY THE THUNDER
Somewhere in this world
I know that love exists
I've known it in a kiss
Sometimes in my sleep
I've been searching
For more than these few glimpses
For a love that lasts all eternity
There is a light, a light that never dies
Oh no, see it shine, shining in my sorrow
There is a light, a light that never dies
I'm all alone now
The crowds have all gone home
There is a silence
Silence in my world
I wish that every moment could be peaceful
But I guess that's something
I can only pray for
There is a light, a light that never dies
Oh no, see it shine, shining in my sorrow
There is a light, a light in my desire (see it shine)
See it shining, shining for tomorrow
Only love can give me an answer (only love)
Oh I know that love can heal (only love)
From the dust a new hope rises up
Only love can set me, set me free
This world is crashing down
In oh so many ways
I get so scared
Scared and so alone
Life I desire
But what is life without love
You say that's nothing
To me it's everything
There is a light, a light that never dies
Oh no, see it shine, shining in my sorrow
There is a light, a light in my desire (see it shine)
See it shining, shining for tomorrow
Only love can give me an answer (only love)
Oh I know that love can heal (only love)
From the dust a new hope rises up
Only love can set me, set me free
I need a friend someone to turn to
Someone to turn to in my hour of need (someone)
Someone to give me an answer (someone)
Someone to give me the love I need
Only love can give me the answer (only love)
Oh I know that love can heal (only love)
From the dust a new hope rises up
Only love can set me, set me free
Set me free
Only love can give me the answer (only love)
Well, back in '75
When the kid was on the line
And he felt no pain
'Cause there was none
He would bend in the wind
Take in anything
Like sniffin' roses
And it was alright
Until he fell
And cut his hand
He just could not understand
He'd run away
Blame pretense
For defence
Or plain innocence
Say that's alright
The harder it fights
I'm one step closer to home
The deeper it bites
I'm one step closer to home
And you can tie my hands
Or whip my back
I can't give in
'Til the sky turns black
I may get lost
I'm ONE STEP CLOSER TO HOME
Oh yeah he ran
Hitched, rides
Travelled light
Left his bags behind
Said he'd lost them
He said that's O.K.
I get money and a smile
From place to place
And they don't mind
I've had the heads of business men and I just gave them
Right back again
I've got no need
For device, disguise
Or for their compromise
Said that's airight
The tougher it gets
I'm one step closer to home
The more that I sweat
I'm one step closer to home
And you can tie my hands
Or whip my back
I can't give in
'Til the sky turns black
I may get lost
I'm ONE STEP CLOSER TO HOME
There ain't no need for this at all, at all
Surely you can help me out
Say, I know a lot of people just like you
Plently to live for and nothing to lose
So tear it all down
Smash it all up
Break it all down and then just
Build it up
Build it up
Ah now build it up
Oh you build it up (Build it up)
Ah now build it up (Build it up)
Ah build it up
Build it up, Build it up, Build it up, up, up, up
And the tougher it gets
And the more that I sweat
And the harder it fights
And the deeper it bites
I'm one step closer to home
And the harder it fights
I'm one step closer to home
And you can tie my hands
Or whip my back
I can't give in
'Til the sky turns black
I may get lost
A thousand miles before us
Long is the road
The mountain high
And the valley low
Our love is stronger than we know
In the tears of a river
I see the wrong
Hear the mountain cry
Cry anger
Feel the pain in the valley below
I want to run
Where the sunlight beats on my face
I want to feel
The wind in my hair
THERE ARE NO FRONTIERS
That we can't cross tonight
There are no borderlines
To keep us apart
THERE ARE NO FRONTIERS
I am devoted to you
Like the sea to the shore
Like the tree to the forest
I can't live without you
A river can't live without water
I want to run
Where the sunlight beats on my face
I want to feel
The wind in my hair
THERE ARE NO FRONTIERS
That we can't cross tonight
There are no borderlines
To keep us apart
THERE ARE NO FRONTIERS
That we can't cross oh oh oh
THERE ARE NO FRONTIERS
That we can't cross tonight
There are no borderlines
To keep us apart
THERE ARE NO FRONTIERS
That we can't cross tonight
There are no borderlines
To keep us apart
No, no, no
THERE ARE NO FRONTIERS
THERE ARE NO FRONTIERS
To keep us apart
See them run
Like characters in paintings
Turners frightening 'scapes
Industrial inside a nation of no escape
There's no escape in my frightened face
As we run run run
And turn to stone
OH LORD hear me now
The fanfare sounds in a Newtown Jericho
OH LORD the wailing sound
Of helpless souls in a Newtown Jericho
See them fall
The rebecca ride at dawn
Petticoat ghost and tom
Working to reclaim the land for no reward
There's no reward my daughters of dawn
As we run run run
And turn to stone
OH LORD hear me now
The fanfare sounds in a Newtown Jericho
OH LORD the wailing sound
Of helpless souls in a Newtown Jericho
I've been down amongst the crying there
Upon my knees I'm dying
And Polsen dragged across the city walls
Upon a wooden horse
Horse
Horse
Horse
This is Jericho
OH LORD hear me now
The fanfare sounds in a Newtown Jericho
OH LORD the wailing sound
Of helpless souls in a Newtown Jericho
Jericho, Jericho
Jericho, Jericho
Jericho, Jericho
Jericho, Jericho
Pit shaft wheels turn for the last time
In the Rhondda tonight
The Davey lamps that shone so brightly
There's no more need for their light
As the last piece of coal is cut
From the belly of the black seamed hole
A man walks home alone
Past a church full of mourning souls
Throughout his lifetime he has fought
He has given his life
In tears the congregation sing
Cwm Rhondda Oh my Lord
Great is the rape of the fair country
To Botany Bay for my Great Grandfathers
Deportation sailed
Great so great is the fair country
GREAT IS THE NEED FOR A NEW SOUTH WALES
The slag heap stares
It blocks out the sky
It kees this Rhondda grey
The stale beer spills from angry drinkers
Their arguments do the same
A choir voice cries it shatters the silence
Where's the future in this place
The question hangs unanswered
All eyes on a new born babe
In another lifetime men fought hard
Men gave their lives
For the charter that would save their sons
Cwm Rhondda Oh my Lord
Great, great change in the fair country
The future lies with the sons and daughters
South will meet with North
Say, say a prayer for the fair country
GREAT IS THE NEED FOR A NEW SOUTH WALES
Throughout a lifetime men have fought
Men have given their lives
To hear the congregation sing
CWM RHONDDA OH MY LORD
Great, great change in the fair country
The future lies with the sons and daughters
South will meet with North
Say, say a prayer for the fair country
GREAT IS THE NEED FOR A NEW SOUTH WALES
Someone hear my prayer
Someone hear my prayer
Someone hear my prayer
Someone hear my prayer
Someone hear my prayer
Someone hear my prayer
Someone hear my prayer
Love can give you everything
Then take it all away
She can take you to the water
She can make you thirst for days
Tell you what you want to hear
In the same breath she can steal
And that's why love don't come easy
Love can take you to the mountain
Love can make it move
Love can shine her burning torchlight
In the bed of fools
Love can be your witness
She is judge as she condemns
And that's why love don't come easy
Sometimes love don't come at all
Love don't come easy
Sometimes love don't come at all
It ain't over 'til it's over
Love can make your poverty
Seem rich although your poor
Love can be your honesty
When your conscience comes to call
Love can count you out in ten
When she's got you down on the floor
And that's why love don't come easy
Sometimes love don't come at all
Love don't come easy
Sometimes love don't come at all
It ain't over 'til it's over
Love can make the time move quick
Or torture time so slow
Love can heal a gaping wound
Or make the pain explode
Love can be the difference
Between life and the hangmans rope
And that's why love don't come easy
Sometimes love don't come at all
Love don't come easy
Sometimes love don't come at all
And that's why love don't come easy
Sometimes love don't come at all
Love don't come easy
Sometimes love don't come at all
It ain't over 'til it's over
It ain't over 'til it's over
It ain't over 'til it's over
It ain't over 'til it's over
Everybody (love)
Everybody (love)
The futureæ¯ deserted waiting there for you and me
No past is going to stop us blowing down this road apiece
Why weæ³e come too far, too far to turn back now
We canæ° just throw it all away when something good goes wrong, oh no
Nothing has been written which says which way we have to go
Iæ¦ not looking for commitment written in stone
No everlasting promise no no
Let the river
Let the river run
Let the water
Let the water fall
Flow down off the mountain
Into the sea
Let the river run, run its course
Weæ³e stood this ground too long thereæ¯ miles to make up
Oh itæ¯ way past the time we found out if weæ®e truly good enough
Thereæ¯ no truth like the truth you dare to let yourself see
Better face it now there is nothing to fear
Everything to gain right in here
Let the river
Let the river run
Let the water
Let the water fall
Flow down off the mountain
Into the sea
Let the river run
Let the river run
Run its course
Let the river
Let the river run
Let the water
Let the water fall
Flow down off the mountain
Into the sea
Let the river run
Let the river run
Let the water fall
Let the river run
I cry my soul to sleep
Somewhere in the starless night
I yearn for safety's keep
Away from hurt outside of time
Oh wherever I run I canæ° hide
From the knife in the light
I close my eyes to be free
Of all the loneliness I feel
So many against me
So many seek to harm me dear
Oh protection sweeping over me
Youæ®e my hope my shield
Lead me through the darkness
Lead me through the bitter tears
Guide me to my only hope
Lead me through the shadows
Lead me through the darkness tonight
The raging waters fall
All around and drowning me
See my life in chains
Show me mercy hand me down the key
Oh you are my shield my glory
You can set me free
Lead me through the darkness
Lead me through the bitter tears
Guide me to my only hope
Lead me through the shadows
Lead me through the darkness tonight
In times of trouble you come to me
In times of danger you come to my aid
You give your all to me,
When I need it most
And lead me though
You guide me through the sweet and bitter tears
Ah lead me, oh hold me
Come on and show me
Lead me on
Lead me through the darkness
Lead me through the bitter tears
Guide me to my only hope
Lead me through the shadows
Lead me through the darkness tonight
Lead me on
Lead me through the sweet and bitter tears
Lead me on
Memories come flooding back
The bitter pain of disappointment
Of once of having love but now I only feel loss
I'M LIVING ON A KNIFEDGE
AT THE END OF THE LINE
I'M TAKING ALL THE HARD SELL
I'M LOOKING FOR A LIFE LINE
Hey now now
Oh oh oh
When you ain't got no-one in this world
It makes you feel useless
It gives you nothing to live for nothing to die oh no no
For I'm burning up burning up burning up
I'm such a long way from home
I've got it all to give and no-one
To give it to
That's why I'm looking for you
For someone to whom I can prove
That I'm not through no no no no
I'm alive and I need love too
I'M LIVING ON A KNIFEDGE
AT THE END OF THE LINE
I'M TAKING ALL THE HARD SELL
I'M LOOKING FOR A LIFE LINE
ON A KNIFEDGE
I'M LOOKING FOR YOU NOW.
I*M LOOKING FOR YOU
Now now now
And the doors of love seem closed
No matter how hard I try to kick 'em down
It seems to all add up in my mind
Just going round and around and around
I'm fired up fired up fired up
'Cause there's nothing I can do to change it
I've just gotta sit back and wait for my chance to come
That's why I'm looking for you
For someone to whom I can prove
That I'm not through no no no no
I'm alive and that's the truth
I'M LIVING ON A KNIFEDGE
AT THE END OF THE LINE
I'M TAKING ALL THE HARD SELL
I'M LOOKING FOR A LIFE LINE
ON A KNIFEDGE
I'M LOOKING FOR YOU NOW
Memories come flooding back
The bitter pain of disappointment
Of once of having love but now
I only feel loss
There's a pointlessness about it all
I've gotta force that to the back of my mind
Ah the important thing now
Is just I've gotta survive
I'M LIVING ON A KNIGEDGE
I*M ON THE EDGE OF THE LINE
I'M TAKING ALL THE HARD SELL
I'M LOOKING FOR A LIFE LINE I'M LIVING ON A KNIFE EDGE
I'M LIVING AT THE END OF A LINE
I'M TAKING TAKING ALL THE HARD SELL
JUST LOOKING FOR THE LIFE LINE
I'M LIVING ON A KNIFE EDGE
Love on this wasteland holds no dominion
I refuse to lay me down
On the grapevine comes the saying
"Son, you'll reap whatever you sow"
I sow the seeds of my love
Deep undying true love I sow
There is beauty out there somewhere
I will leave no stone unturned
There's a guitar and a bugle
I hear the sound of distant drums
Fire and water rage through my mind
(Love on)
Love on this wasteland
I cannot find
And there is a HOWL HOWL HOWLING WIND
A ringing around my ears
And a wild wild wind is a blowing
Tearing down my tears
There is virtue truth abounding
Peace will come to everyman
And there's a landmark on the skyline
There is a sign standing in the road
Sail on my brother
Sail on through the night
(Love on)
Love on this wasteland is waiting on down the line
And there is a HOWL HOWL HOWLING WIND
A ringing around my ears
And a wild wild wind is a blowing
Tearing down my tears
Forty days in the desert sand
Forty nights on my hands and knees
Forty days in the howling wind
In the howling wind
Love on this wasteland holds no dominion
I refuse to lay me down
On the grapevine comes the saying
"Son, you'll reap whatever you sow"
I sow the seeds of my love, my love
Deep undying true love's what I sow
There's a HOWL HOWL HOWLING WIND
A ringing around my ears
And a wild wild wind is a blowing
Tearing down my tears
And there's a HOWL HOWL HOWLING WIND
A ringing around my ears
And there's a wild wild wind is a blowing
Once you held your finger on the trigger
Now the gun is pointing at your head
Once you reigned supreme
Over all that you could see
Now you walk on the other side of the street
How the mighty fall
I've seen it all before
From the highest heights
To the lowest of lows
How the mighty fall
Once your words were the first and last on the subject
Now they hang like a noose around your neck
Once you held the light
That could be seen from near and far
Now you fall and stumble in the dark
How the mighty fall
I've seen it all before
From the highest heights
To the lowest of lows
How the mighty fall
Once you held the secrets of the world within your hands
Now you're just another grain of sand
Once you were the first
Revered to the last
Now they talk about your fall from grace
How the mighty fall
I've seen it all before
From the highest heights
To the lowest of lows
How the mighty fall
(How the mighty fall)
How the mighty fall
(How the mighty fall)
How the mighty fall
(How the mighty fall)
The harder, the harder, the harder they fall
(How the mighty fall)
The harder, the harder, the harder they fall
(How the mighty fall)
A union made in the heavens
Untouched by an outside world
Driven by the needs of lovers
To the beauty of the One unearthed
Sanctify, mystify
A vision of the light
Sacrifice the gift of life
Above the sky thereæ¯ no higher
A love that scales mountains
(Hell or high water)
A love that is oceans deep
A love to set us free
In paradise lost they found it
On the slums of a shanty town floor
They're driven down the roads of Mordor
By a hurricane gale force
Sanctify, mystify
A vision of the light
Sacrifice the gift of life
Above the sky thereæ¯ no higher
A love that scales mountains
(Hell or high water)
A love that is oceans deep
A love to set us free
A love that scales mountains
(Hell or high water)
A love that is oceans deep
Hell or high water
Written in the pages of a book
Only some have read
Spoken in a tongue only lovers hear
With a whisper
With a scream
A love that scales mountains
(Hell or high water)
A love that is oceans deep
A love to set us free
A love that scales mountains
(Hell or high water)
A love that is oceans deep
Hell or high water
Hell or high water
(Hell or high water)
(Hell or high water)
Driven by the needs of lovers
(Hell or high water)
Driven by the needs of lovers
Hardland ripped & torn apart
Hard dreams leave scarred
In the lines of my face
The story of faith
Hardland
I came back
Home to a hardland
Where a man is judged
By the scars on his face
Where that sliding scale still operates
To come home, I had to go away from here
HARDLAND
I saw a land
Standing at the crossroads
I saw her wrath
Burning in a burned out home
Saw her tears
In rivers running cold
Her tragedy, waiting to explode
In the HARDLAND
Ripped and torn apart
Hard dreams
Leave me scarred
In the lines of my face
A story of faith
HARDLAND
I feel afraid
When I think about my children
I feel scared
When I walk down a street at night
Feel sad
When I look on the flag
I feel the anger
Rising in the heart of the
HARDLAND
Ripped and torn apart
Hard dreams
Leave me scarred
In the lines of my face
A story of faith
HARDLAND
Wherever I wander across this land
Of my fathers
The valley is ripped and the mountain scarred
Tom apart
A house is ablaze on the hillside
A sign says "This land is not for sale"
HARDLAND
Ripped and tom apart
Hard dreams
Leave me scarred
In the lines of my face
A story of faith

So this is Christmas and what have you done
Another year over a new one just begun
So this is Christmas I hope you have fun
The near and the dear ones, the old and the young
And so this is Christmas for weak and for strong
For rich and for poor ones the road is so long
And so Happy Christmas and a Happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one without any fear
War is over if you want it
War is over now
So this is Christmas for black and for white
For yellow and red ones let's all stop the fight
So Happy Christmas and what have you done
Another year over a new one just begun
And so Happy Christmas and a Happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one without any fear
War is over if you want it
War is over now
War is over if you want it
War is over now
War is over if you want it
War is over now
War is over if you want it
War is over now
War is over if you want it
Well the docks lie crippled
In the northem towns
The boys have all gone away
Trying to find work down south
And mister I walk in the valley of the shadow
Won't someone have mercy on my soul
On my soul, soul, soul
HALLOWED GROUND how sad is the sound
In a valley that once sang out sang proud
HALLOWED GROUND where the ships run aground
To die in the harbour in a rust ridden town, town, town, town
Now I've seen the future
And I've seen the past
And I've seen the lights go down
On this world fading fast
And mister I walk in the valley of the shadow
Won't someone have mercy on my soul
On my soul, soul, soul
HALLOWED GROUND how sad is the sound
In a valley that once sang out sang proud
HALLOWED GROUND where the ships run aground
To die in the harbour in a rust ridden town, town, town, town
And mister I walk in the valley of the shadow
Won't someone have mercy on my soul
On my soul, soul, soul
HALLOWED GROUND how sad is the sound
In a valley that once sang out sang proud
HALLOWED GROUND where the ships run aground
To die in the harbour in a rust ridden town, town, town, town
Now I've got a wife and a young child
Back home in my house
Oh I've got someone
People are saying money's falling off the trees
But I don't see nobody here with a piece
Nobody got it, everybody want it
Even people out there begging on the streets
From Red Square right down to the sea
Step down off the side-walk and you might see
Something going on make a poor heart bleed
Sounds like a new age world stampede
God save somebody
God save somebody
Well all through the land
Everybody lend a hand
God Save somebody
Broke walls, people digging through
Skidding on the tarmac, tripping on the view
Halfway useful
Wholeway hopeful
Soaking their hearts in a vision of food
Welcome west to the world excess
Bet you halfway through some will settle for less
With a big break sleeping rough at night
On a stone floor like freezed ice
God save somebody
God save somebody
Well all through the land
Everybody lend a hand
God Save somebody
Well whole place looks like a war's going on
Flash floods and fire bombs
A whole bunch of folk who say it ain't so
But they're from a place nobody goes
Shell shock and big decay
No policies made gonna take that away
Bells ringing out right now for the day
They're even trying to tear down God抯 Highway
God save somebody
You better save somebody
Well all through the land
Everybody lend a hand
God Save somebody
God save somebody
God save somebody
Well all through the land
Everybody lend a hand
God save somebody
(God save somebody)
God save somebody
(God save somebody)
They're even trying to tear down God抯 Highway
You better save somebody
(God save somebody)
Well the bells ringing out right now for the day
You better save somebody
(God save somebody)
Save somebody
(God save somebody)
You better save somebody
(God save somebody)
Well it sounds like a funeral
Take this song of freedom
Put it on & arm yourself for the fight
Don't let them blind your eyes now
Or listen to the devil liar
Feelings growing getting stronger
But even now my hands are tied
I feel restricted i can't cut loose this ball and chain that's round my neck
What can i say that's not been said before
Until there's a better way i'm gonna stay this way
Come gather round you people to me
And listen now to what i say
Sticks and stones will get us nowhere
There's twenty years yet we still don't know
What have we learnt is this all we can show
There must be a better way to end the day
We've got to stand now and push on through to the other side
We must not blind our eyes
Or listen to the devil liar.
Now we're the nation of many colours
But everybody's blood runs red
Cut our wrists and bind together
Too much blood has been spilt in hate
Do it now for your children 'cause their lives are yet to come
Do it now for you own sakes for freedom.
We've got to stand now and push on through to the other side
We must not blind our eyes
Or listen to the devil liar.
Do it now for your children 'cause their lives are yet to come
Do it now for you own sakes for freedom.
For freedom.
We've got to stand now and push on through to the other side
We must not blind our eyes
(One, two, three, four)
My father said "Son, now my life's work is done
There's a future for you, there's a job to be done
Stop fighting the system 'cause the system won't break
Get your hair cut boy and learn from my mistakes"
Now I said to my father "Father give me a break
There's a million more chances that I'm bom to take
I don't want to die like I saw you die
In a dead end job in a dead end way"
How many years must I waste in these black times
How many years must I waste
Today I can't find nothing nowhere
Tomorrow I might find something somewhere
Give me a future now
I need it so badly now
Oh For tomorrow
"These are times of recession" father said unto me
"Don't you leave now my son, you'll break our family"
I said, "I've got ideas that I cannot deny
If I stay I'll be killed by the dreams on my mind."
How many years must I waste in these black times
How many years must I waste
Today I can't find nothing nowhere
Tomorrow I might find something somewhere
Give me a future now
I need it so badly now
Oh for tomorrow
I see the signs of black times everywhere I run
I can't can't escape them
No matter how hard I try
I see these signs of black time everywhere I run
I can't stand another day
I gotta move away
I gotta move away
Today I can't find nothing nowhere
Tomorrow I might find something somewhere
Give me a future now
I need it so badly now
Oh for tomorrow
Mission bells ring out from kingdom hall
A lone voice cries on the hillside
The winds from the north blow the sea to the shore
I walk away in the fateful moonlight
Love forsaken man, love forsaken land
For God's sake don't look back
Into the crucifix night
The storm of a cross
I live to love again and again
All my life
Oh Eye of the hurricane
I walk away in the wind and the rain
Into the eye of the hurricane
Face to face
The view from the hill looks bleak from where I stand
The waters are come in unto my soul
I can't cry no more my eyes are bone dry sore
There's a river of tears flowing down to the sea
I'm a desolate soul on a desolate shore
Destined to walk alone
Into the crucifix night
The storm of a cross
I live to love again and again
All my life
Oh eye of the hurricane
I walk away in the wind and the rain
Into the eye of the hurricane
Face to face
Hurricane when will I see you again?
Hurricane when will I see you again?
Will I see you again?
Will I see you again?
I'm a desolate soul on a desolate shore
Destined to walk alone
Into the crucifix night
The storm of a cross
I live to love again and again
All my life
Oh eye of the hurricane
I walk away in the wind and the rain
Into the eye of the hurricane
Of my life
Oh eye of the hurricane
I walk away in the wind and the rain
Into the eye of the hurricane
Face to face
Hurricane
I'm a man
Torn in two
State and nation
I've got to choose
For on these streets
That I spit upon
There's no money in my pocket
No soles on my shoes
Ain't got no religion
But the workingman blues
Oh I, I've got the workin' man blues
Oh I'm kicking the dirt off my shoes
Devolution workingman blues
I don't dance
No rich mans tune
I won't play
The poor mans fool
Within these eyes
That you look upon
There is fear mixed with pride
A dangerous device
For talkin' devolution
Talkin' workin'man blues
Oh I, I've got the workingman blues
Oh I'm kickin' the dirt off my shoes
Devolution workingman blues
Devolution workingman blues
Oh I, I've got the workingman blues
Oh I'm kickin' the dirt off my shoes
Oh I, I've got the workingman blues
Oh I'm kickin' the dirt off my shoes
Oh I, I've got the workingman blues
Oh I, I've got the workingman workingman blues
Hey now!
The iron gates clang in a steel mill town
A man breaks down to that unemployment sound
He takes a last walk down that old coast road
In the dying death throes of all that he knows
The sight of those men walking through the gates
Was like a lame pit pony at the end of it's days
(Fire, Fire, Fire)
In a Deeside town eight thousand went down
In a February day in the driving rain
No winners just losers and cuts and bruises
As the picket lines fell, the industry died
There's still one question after all this time
Is a working man bom to live and then die?
Fire Fire Fire.
To build the ships to set the sails
To cross the sea of fools
To be dealt the cards
To play our hand
To win or else to lose
In this cruel world that kicks a man when he's down
(Down to the ground)
(Hey now)
And Lady Luck smiles on the few in this world
And I hope and I pray that she smiles on you
I ain't gonna preach, no I ain't gonna teach
I 'm just gonna sing about the things that I need
A little bit of love, a little bit of hope
A little bit of strength, some fuel for the fire
(Fire Fire Fire)
To build the ships to set the sails
To cross the sea of fools
To be dealt the cards
To play our hand
To win or else to lose
In this cruel world that kicks a man when he's down.
(Down to the ground)

Take this song of freedom
Put it on and arm yourself for the fight
Our hearts must have the courage
You are the power and the glory
You are the weakness in defeat
Like the rise and fall of the British Empire
You make me sick with your conceit
You are, you are the weakness
You are, you are, you are
You are the sickness thatæ¯ in my soul
You are you are you are the maker
You are called greed and youæ®e a cheat
You are you are you are the deceiver
You are not welcome in my life
You are the maker of illusions
You break up every dream weæ³e ever made
And as I rise up from the ashes
I said
You raise your ugly head up
Have you no shame
Too long, too long you have lain there
Too far too long too strong
Oh I will break your hold
You are you are you are the maker
You are called greed and youæ®e a cheat
You are you are you are the deceiver
You are not welcome in my life
You are, you are the weakness
You're within us
You are, you are, you are
You are the sickness thatæ¯ in my soul
You are you are you are the maker
You are called greed and youæ®e a cheat
You are the devil
You are you are you are the deceiver
I'm a lonely man walking lonely streets
I'm soaked to the skin with the pain of my unease
From such a strained existence
The tension in this world keeps me from sleep
I'm hungry and cold
There's a weight hanging over my shoulders
A rain black cloud of doubt
Have I got enough love
Have I got enough hope?
Enough strength to face the world each day?
I know there's an answer somewhere in this night
I see her each time I look in your eyes
I'm walking in a wild place
I am banging on the gates
On the other side of the tracks babe
Hoping that someone's gonna hear me pray
Oh there's a dawn chorus breaking out all over the town
Will you say you want me,
Wwill I say I want you?
Will you say you love me
When I'm stripped and forced to stand up naked
And will I still love you
The goal that I want can't exist without fire
And you fire the thoughts that realise all my dreams
These are a grown man's tears
I lost all faith, I lost all hope
I started drinking, life became a joke
Something would keep me going.
I didn't know what it was
But I saw it each time I looked in your eyes
I'm walking in a wild place
I am banging on the gates
On the other side of the tracks babe
Hoping that someone's gonna hear me pray
Oh there's a dawn chorus breaking out all over the town
Oh my god
Why do I feel the doubt
You give me something I can't live without
Yet from somewhere there comes an emptiness
A feeling that I can't suppress
Is this the start of the beginning or the point of no return?
There's an answer there
When I look in your eyes
I'm walking in a wild place
I am banging on the gates
On the other side of the tracks babe
Where all my doubts are now laid away away away away
I'm walking in a wild place
I am banging on the gates
On the other side of the tracks babe
Where someone answered my prayers
Oh there's a dawn chorus breaking out all over the town
Picture you on a pedestal
So avant-garde of mind
Standing in the last ditch
Where fallen heroes lie
Stand to the left of centre
Stand to the right sometimes
All good politicians
Speak in riddles and in rhymes
I'm looking under tables
I'm looking under chairs
Been searching for an answer
Been searching everywhere
Yeah
Day by day
Hour by hour
Who's gonna fly my flag
In the corridors of power?
Your image is of virtue
Pure as driven snow
Your picture hangs in galleries
Your sin down in Soho
One day you'll meet the keeper
The keeper of your soul
One day in the next world
Your secrets will unfold
I'm looking under tables
I'm looking under chairs
Been searching for an answer
Been searching everywhere
Day by day
Hour by hour
Who's gonna fly my flag
In the corridors of power?
Day by day
Hour by hour
Who's gonna fly my flag
In the corridors of power?
One day in the future
Like Andy Warhol said
"Everybody will be famous
For fifteen minutes" then
Day by day
Hour by hour
Who's gonna fly my flag
In the corridors of power?
Day by day
Hour by hour
Who's gonna fly my flag
In the corridors of power?
Power

Ici ou ailleurs, petite soeur, seul le coeur mene
Quand ton me saigne et que le mal regne
Le monde est plein d'fourbes, surdous, prets a te flouer
Cloue, la premiere innocente qui voudrait briller
Petite prend garde aux beaux parleurs, le vice c'est leur taffe
Leur schlasse, ces pourris n'ont pas de face
Ils abusent de l'innocence, sans honte et sans regrets
Pas chez eux, bien sur, mais dans d'autres pays en secret
C'est devenu une habitude donc c'est rest chez nous
Le but, fille, c'est d'ouvrir les yeux, ici y'a trop d'fous
Et c'est pas ailleurs qui s'forment, c'est fait a domicile
Avec la bonne norme, on revient a l'ge du fossile
Et toutes les grosses tetes de la politique le savent
Mais personne bouge, il est mort, le hros des braves
Comme ces stars qui bavent sur des femmes
Qui pourraient etre leur fille, a l'cran tout a un prix
Ici ou ailleurs, petite soeur, le mal est pos
Qui va oser ? S'opposer a ce putain d'bl
Qui dvie de la ralit, y'a pas d'moralit
Je trouve horrible de laisser des pdos en libert
[Refrain - Syleena Johnson]
[Shurik'n]
Ca fait 5 fois que tu vomis cette semaine
Et y'a maintenant 2 mois que tu tournes en rond chez toi
Comme le doute dans ta tete se promene
Ton regard s'arrete sur les fringues que t'avais ce jour-la
Elles sentent encore l'treinte de la coke et du whisky coca
Ce qui aurait du etre un printemps ne fut qu'un sale hiver
Sans prnom grav a 2 dans la pierre
Sincere petite soeur, t'en prends pas a ton rouge a levres
Il voulait te faire belle, que tu sois la reine du bal
Ignorant que trop de beaut ca rveille l'animal
Et le serpent se pointe vite avide
Sachant que vient d'clore une chrysalide
Seconde apres ils sont cent qui salivent, cent qui s'activent
Fuck les tabous, bois un coup, prends-en ou tu seras pas dans le dlire
Tu voulais grandir c'tait tout
Tournoyante sur la piste entoure de hros, t'as pas vu venir l'plus beau
Et Alice croise le rel au rveil a l'arriere d'une Volvo ivre jusqu'aux os
Avec pour seul souvenir et cadeau des traces de doigt sans visage dans le dos
Et l'innocence partie en lambeaux
J'entends d'ici c'connard clamer qu'il s'est marr
Avec une fille bourre, faut pas pleurer ces choses-la arrivent
Faut juste assumer un fragile coeur d'a-peine 18 ans dans un corps de 25
Et ce reflet dans l'miroir qui te dit froidement que t'es enceinte
[Refrain]
[Akhenaton]
Avant tout, je voulais te dire que des conneries on en fait tous
Et qu'a ton ge, la fleche de l'amour fait mouche, souvent
Les garcons partent comme le vent soufflant, ta plume souffrante
Caresse les pages du journal intime soulevant les larmes
Au soleil mourant, chute de courant
Pour ton p'tit coeur nu chaloupant, les sentiments qu'il te porte sont morts
En l'ouvrant, comme toi j'aurais pas aim qu'on se mele
Mais j'aurais vit des problemes, si on m'avait donn un conseil
C'est bete mais c'est important, cette libert qui te fut offerte
Ce jour-la c'est comme une porte de cage qui s'est ouverte
Premiere chose que t'as faite, t'as tourn la tete
Fui dormir chez tes copines en courrant
Ma petite souris, ca rigole plus, t'as mis le pied chez les grands
Et ca depuis la perte d'la premiere goutte de sang
Jusqu'a ta belle connerie du jour de l'an
Emchs, ils t'promettent la terre
Ce qu'ils veulent c'est 1 minute sur toi par terre, dgoutants
Et quand le meilleur pote dit faire la paire
Ils commencent a t'embrouiller avec un air droutant
Et par amour ton jean s'dboutonne, ils font l'affaire
Petits pds, ils mritent minimum une belle paire de claques pour la peine
Ils sont partis te laissant a tes craintes
Aller le crier sur les toits, soutirant des sourires de tes plaintes
Comme si c'est pas assez, laissent dans le futur une empreinte
It's been a long time comin'
And it's good to be back
Been in a head on collision
With a medicine man
I've been down in the alley
Where the odds are stacked
Down on my knees
Had to turn back
CHANGE
CHANGE
I need a change
OH LORD
CHANGE
CHANGE
I need a change
OH LORD OH LORD
Down in a no mans land
Between sorrow and sweet
Where the devil himself
Sits on the judgement seat
Where you drown in your rain
Your wind and your sleet
When you're six feet under
Dead on you feet
CHANGE
CHANGE
I need a change
OH LORD
CHANGE
CHANGE
I need a change
OH LORD
It's got to be tough
To be so true
It's got to be even tougher
To be you
You hammer at the door
Singing "God save the Queen"
I want to leave this place
CHANGE
CHANGE
I need a change
OH LORD
CHANGE
CHANGE
I need a change
OH LORD
CHANGE
CHANGE
I need a change
OH LORD
CHANGE
CHANGE
I need a change
OH LORD
Change upon faces
Changing hands
Change in my father
And my fathers land
Change, change
Change, change, change, change, change
Change in the weather
And it flies through a flag
Change in the places
I knew as a lad
Change, change
Change, change, change, change, change
Change on the mountain
Where green was turned black
Change on the valleys
That take it all back
Change in a worker
With sweat on his hands
Condemned by a future
To the no mans land
Change in the rivers
Once clean, flowing fast
Made sad and dirty
By the tears of man
Change at my ankles
Holding me back
Change like an icon
Beckoning fast
Change, change
Ich hab die Schnauze voll von diesem Rapper Mist,
den man ganz schnell hört und dann wieder vergißt
Wo Du ganz schnell oben und ein Gansta-Held bist,
doch wo man ohne cooles Image bald ein Niemand ist
Du musst alles was Dir unterkommt ganz derbe dissen
und das heißt auf Deutsch and're anzupissen
Wenn man da nicht mitmacht steht man voll auf seinem Schlauch
Also fang'n wir doch mal an, denn das könn'wir doch auch
Schwester G. hat die Szene abgecheckt
denn vielleicht hat sie Hartreim's Dödelsein geleckt
Ach paß doch auf, was Du da sagst ist nicht fair - Ja klar, ist auch wirklich
ordinär
Wenn wir denen mal begegnen, könn' wir nur noch weglaufen
nachher müssen wir noch ihr Badewasser saufen
Alarm, Alarm, alle schmeißen mit Banan'
statt aus Dosen, spiel'n wir auf Gitarr'n
Wir haben den Trend leider voll verpennt
denn wir sind die Band die keiner kennt
Die elastischen Fünf haben die Hits gebookt,
weil bei dem was Sie sagen keine Wimper zuckt
Von lecker Fischbrät ernähr'n die sich nicht
nur fettes Brot kommt auf den Tisch
die hängen alle ab in der Stresskantine
und fahr'n auf der ganz, ganz schnellen Schiene
Wenn die mal floppen, dann könn' sie eigentlich
nur noch in die Kiste hip-hoppen
Wir sind geila, härter, breiter
und egal was passiert, ja egal,
wir machen einfach weiter
Alarm, Alarm ...
Du fragst mich, wo all die Indianer sind
Du ich hab' gehört der Winnetou der hat sich aufgehängt
An einem Lemontree mitten im Schwabenland
und das alles nur weil man ihn Scheisse fand
Jetzt ist er weg, er war ja eh nicht populär
und wenn's so weitergeht,
dann ha'm wir's auch bald ziemlich schwer
Wieso schwer?
Ach Stephan daran kann man sich gewöhn'
ganz egal wo wir spiel'n und will doch eh' keiner seh'n
Alarm, Alarm...
I won't be seeing her no more
Silently standing by the door
Passing me by, I smelled her hair
Getting that feeling when you're near
I'm leading, I am leading
What do you know
where do you hide
All of their loved ones, all of them died
What have I done I'm craving for more
now that I've escaped
I've done it before
Oh, I've realized what I did that day
Oh, I've realized, have mercy on my soul
Holding back on me, doesn't matter now
You know, you know
I hid the red child
It's not what I had in mind
I'm leading
Keep on licking scars
Keep moving
I'm waiting, craving more
Lately I've been spread thin
Pulled in all directions
My heart feels like a motor
My head still needs your shoulder
Lately all I'm hearing
Is my own heavy breathing
And everybody laughing
At me and all my demons on display
My head feels like am mess
I'm running from the past
I always feel uneasy and then you turn to ask me
Why are you so alarmed?
You got me tied to a time bomb
Alarm, alarm, alarm
i don't wanna wake up
I just wanna stay home
Everybody scares me
And seeing you just tears me
Apart to tiny pieces
Scattered around the room and left to burn
I wanna give some away
But my friends don't seem to care
Let me introduce you to the logic behind dreaming all day long
My head feels like am mess
I'm falling through the cracks
I always feel uneasy and then you turn to ask me
Why are you so alarmed?
You got me tied to a time bomb
Alarm, alarm, alarm
i don't wanna wake up
I just wanna stay home
How much time is left on my clock before I die?
How much time is enough tim to find out who and why
I don't think I'll ever find
No i know I'll never find
The person I'm meant to share the rest of my life with
Why are you so alarmed?
You got me tied to a time bomb
Alarm, alarm, alarm
i don't wanna wake up
I just wanna stay home
Why are you so alarmed?
You got me tied to a time bomb
Alarm, alarm, alarm
i don't wanna wake up
I thought I could see though
the magic that surrounds you.
Skin is untouched
and maybe you are too.
I am a shadow
compared to you.
I am the echo
that never gets though, to you.
My world is gorgeous
An open wound since world war one
Feeding the hatre of a tyranny to come
Empowered and selected in 1933
The wolf hunger rises in Germany
Across Europe the sirens are screaming
The eagle attacks with raw aggression
To expand or die the ultimate vision
Stomping boots demands total submission
In the spring of 1940 our shores are in the aim
Our coastline is covered by allied mines
German battleships are heading north
The day of operation Weserübung comes forth
German battleships are heading north
Operation Weserübung comes forth
In the spring of 1940 our shores are in the aim
Our coastline is covered by Allied mines
Air raid sirens the first sign of war
The threatening hum that no one can ignore
With German aircrafts in sight
We know death & destruction are coming tonight
Cause every way you turn
You can see how Europe burns
Contradictory to our leaders pray
