Plot
Sixteen year old, over achiever,Violet Young, has always been repressed and stressed out, but when the pressure hits a new level she begins hallucinating U2, an out-of-the-box figment of her imagination. U2 is determined to save Violet from her own narrow-minded view of life-- even if it means driving her insane first!
U2 are an Irish rock band from Dublin. Formed in 1976, the group consists of Bono (vocals and guitar), The Edge (guitar, keyboards and vocals), Adam Clayton (bass guitar), and Larry Mullen, Jr. (drums and percussion). U2's early sound was rooted in post-punk but eventually grew to incorporate influences from many genres of popular music. Throughout the group's musical pursuits, they have maintained a sound built on melodic instrumentals, highlighted by The Edge's timbrally varied guitar sounds and Bono's expressive vocals. Their lyrics, often embellished with spiritual imagery, focus on personal themes and sociopolitical concerns.
U2 formed at Mount Temple Comprehensive School when the members were teenagers with limited musical proficiency. Within four years, they signed with Island Records and released their debut album Boy. By the mid-1980s, they became a top international act. They were more successful as live performers than they were at selling records, until their breakthrough 1987 album The Joshua Tree, which, according to Rolling Stone, elevated the band's stature "from heroes to superstars". Reacting to musical stagnation and late-1980s criticism of their earnest image and musical direction, the group reinvented themselves with their 1991 hit album Achtung Baby and the accompanying Zoo TV Tour. U2 integrated dance, industrial, and alternative rock influences into their sound and performances, and embraced a more ironic and self-deprecating image. Similar experimentation continued for the remainder of the 1990s with mixed levels of success. U2 regained critical and commercial favour after their 2000 record All That You Can't Leave Behind. On it and the group's subsequent releases, they adopted a more conventional sound while maintaining influences from their earlier musical explorations.

....
Haven't seen you in quite a while
I was down the hold just passing time
Last time we met was a low-lit room
We were as close together as a bride and groom
We ate the food, we drank the wine
Everybody having a good time
Except you
You were talking about the end of the world
I took the money
I spiked your drink
You miss too much these days if you stop to think
You lead me on with those innocent eyes
You know I love the element of surprise
In the garden I was playing the tart
I kissed your lips and broke your heart
You...you were acting like it was
The end of the world
(Love...love...)
In my dream I was drowning my sorrows
But my sorrows, they learned to swim
Surrounding me, going down on me
Spilling over the brim
Waves of regret and waves of joy
I reached out for the one I tried to destroy
You...you said you'd wait
Sunshine, sunshine
Sunshine, sunshine
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
I was lost between the midnight and the dawning
In a place of no consequence or company
3:33 when the numbers fell off the clock face
Speed dialling with no signal at all
Go, shout it out, rise up
Oh, oh
Escape yourself, and gravity
Hear me, cease to speak that I may speak
Shush now
Oh, oh
Force quit and move to trash
I was right there at the top of the bottom
On the edge of the known universe where I wanted to be
I had driven to the scene of the accident
And I sat there waiting for me
Restart and re-boot yourself
You're free to go
Oh, oh
Shout for joy if you get the chance
Password, you, enter here, right now
Oh, oh
You know your name so punch it in
Hear me, cease to speak that I may speak
Shush now
Oh, oh
Sometimes I feel like I don't know
Sometimes I feel like checkin' out
I want to get it wrong
Can't always be strong
And love it won't be long...
Oh sugar, don't you cry
Oh child, wipe the tears from your eyes
You know I need you to be strong
And the day is as dark as the night is long
Feel like trash, you make me feel clean
I'm in the black, can't see or be seen
Baby, baby, baby...light my way
(alright now)
Baby, baby, baby...light my way
You bury your treasure
Where it can't be found
But your love is like a secret
That's been passed around
There is a silence that comes to a house
Where no one can sleep
I guess it's the price of love
I know it's not cheap
(oh, come on)
Baby, baby, baby...light my way
(oh, come on)
Baby, baby, baby...light my way
Oh...ultraviolet...
Ultraviolet...
Ultraviolet...
Ultraviolet...
Baby, baby, baby...light my way
I remember
When we could sleep on stones
Now we lie together
In whispers and moans
When I was all messed up
And I had opera in my head
Your love was a light bulb
Hanging over my bed
Baby, baby, baby...light my way
(oh, come on)
Baby, baby, baby...light my way
Ultraviolet...
Baby, baby, baby...
Baby, baby, baby...
Baby, baby, baby...light my way
Won't you come back tomorrow
Won't you come back tomorrow
Won't you come back tomorrow
Can I sleep tonight
Outside
Somebody's outside
Somebody's knocking at the door
There's a black car parked
At the side of the road
Don't go to the door
Don't go to the door
I'm going out
I'm going outside mother
I'm going out there
Won't you be back tomorrow
Won't you be back tomorrow
Will you be back tomorrow
Who broke the window
Who broke down the door
Who tore the curtain
And who was He for
Who healed the wounds
Who heals the scars
Open the door
Open the door
Won't you come back tomorrow
Won't you be back tomorrow
Will you be back tomorrow
Can I sleep tonight
Cause I want you...I...I want you...
I really...I...I want...I...I...
I want you to be back tomorrow
I want you to be back tomorrow
Will you be back tomorrow
Won't you be back tomorrow
Won't you be back tomorrow
Will you be back tomorrow
Open up, open up
To the lamb of God
To the love of he who made
The blind to see
He's coming back
He's coming back
I believe it
Jesus coming
I'm gonna be there
I'm gonna be there mother
I'm gonna be there mother
I'm going out there
Your only rivers run cold
These city lights
They shine as silver and gold
Dug from the night
Your eyes as black as coal
Walk on by
Walk on through
Walk 'til you run
And don't look back
For here I am
Carnival
The wheels fly and the colors spin
Through alcohol
Red wine that punctures the skin
Face to face
In a dry and waterless place
Walk on by
Walk on through
So sad to beseige your love so head on
Stay this time
Stay tonight in a lie
I'm only asking but I...
I think you know
Come on take me away
Come on take me away
Come on take me home
Home again
And if the mountain should crumble
Or disappear into the sea
Not a tear, no not I
Stay in this time
Stay tonight in...
Ever after, this love in time
And if you save your love
Save it all
Don't push me too far
Don't push me too far
Tonight
Tonight
Say goodnight
She waits for me to
Put out the light
Lay there still
She waits to break my will
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Yes, if I know the truth
How 'bout you?
And in the daylight
A blackbird makes a violent sight
And when she is done
She sleeps beside the wild
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Yes, if I know the truth
How 'bout you?
(really vague words)
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Yes, if I know the truth
It's time to go again
To your blue room
Got some questions to ask of you
In your blue room
The air is clean
Your skin is clear
I've had enough of hangin' round here
It's a different kind of conversation
Your blue room
Saw me calling love, somewhere deep inside
Saw me calling you, somewhere I can hide
And time is a string of pearls
Your blue room
See the future just hanging there
Your blue room
And you crave
A new perspective
Looking down on my objectives
New instructions
Whatever their directions
Your blue room
Saw me calling love
(Bongolese)
Saw me calling
(Bongolese)
It's alright
Your blue room
One day I'll be back
Your blue room
Yeah, I hope I remember where it's at
Your blue room
See me slide
Won't you take me back there
So much fun to me
Zooming in
Zooming out
Nothing I can do about
A lens to see it all up close
Magnifying what everybody knows
Never in conflict
Never alone
No car alarm
Yeah...
All is quiet on New Year's Day
A world in white gets underway
I want to be with you
Be with you night and day
Nothing changes on New Year's Day
On New Year's Day
I will be with you again
I will be with you again
Under a blood red sky
A crowd has gathered in black and white
Arms entwined, the chosen few
The newspapers says, says
Say it's true it's true...
And we can break through
Though torn in two
We can be one
I...I will begin again
I...I will begin again
Oh...
Maybe the time is right
Oh...maybe tonight...
I will be with you again
I will be with you again
And so we're told this is the golden age
And gold is the reason for the wars we wage
Though I want to be with you
Be with you night and day
Nothing changes
On New Year's Day
In a field by a river, my love and I did lie
And on my naked shoulder, she too proud to cry
She said that I must leave her, an icy tear she froze
How could I melt the heart of a Wild Irish Rose?
Well a gypsy she has made of me, a servant of the street
And back to bed I've travelled to taste a love as sweet
Well the heart it knows no reasons and reason never knows
As I lie with them I'm thinking of a Wild Irish Rose
Well I saw the city of angels, it brought the devil out in me
And Hell's hotel on Sunset showed a whore no mercy
As the orange sky was screaming, from the roof I let her go
These are the dizzying heights that brought me my Wild Irish Rose
Now red is the rose that she layed on my grave
A life is what she wanted and a life I surely gave
Like a hundred men before me, they lay lying here in rows
Young men, bloody as a Wild Irish Rose
I'm ready
I'm ready for the laughing gas
I'm ready
I'm ready for what's next
I'm ready to duck
I'm ready to dive
I'm ready to say
I'm glad to be alive
I'm ready
I'm ready for the push
The cool of the night
The warmth of the breeze
I'll be crawling 'round
On my hands and knees
Just down the line...Zoo Station
Gotta make it on time...Zoo Station
I'm ready
I'm ready for the gridlock
I'm ready...to take it to the street
I'm ready for the shuffle
Ready for the deal
Ready to let go of the steering wheel
I'm ready
Ready for the crush
(She's just down the line)...Zoo Station
(Got to make it on time)...Zoo Station
Alright, alright, alright, alright, alright
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright, It's alright
Hey baby, hey baby, hey baby, hey baby
It's alright, it's alright
(Alright, you can turn it up)
Time is a train
Makes the future the past
Leaves you standing in the station
Your face pressed up against the glass
I'm just down the line from your love...(Zoo Station)
You know I'm under the sign...(Zoo Station)
I've gotta make it on time
Make it on time...(Zoo Station)
That's alright...(Zoo Station)
Just two stops down the line...(Zoo Station)
The shackles are undone
The bullets quit the gun
The heat that's in the sun
Will keep us when it's done
The rule has been disproved
The stone, it has been moved
The grain is now a grove
All debts are removed
Oh, can't you see what love has done
Oh, can't you see what love has done
Oh, can't you see what love has done
What it's doing to me
Love makes strange enemies
Makes love where love may please
The soul and its striptease
Hate brought to its knees
The sky over our head
We can reach it from our bed
If you let me in your heart
And out of my head
Oh, can't you see what love has done
Oh, can't you see what love has done
Oh, can't you see what love has done
What it's doing to me
Please don't ever let me out of here
I've got no shame
Oh no, oh no
Oh, can't you see what love has done
Oh, can't you see
Oh, can't you see what love has done
What it's doing to me
Oh, can't you see what love has done
I know I hurt you and I made you cry
Oh, can't you see what love has done
Did everything but murder you and I
Oh, can't you see what love has done
But love left a window in the skies
Oh, can't you see what love has done
And to love I raphsodize
Oh, can't you see what love has done
To every broken heart
Oh, can't you see what love has done
For every heart that cries
Oh, can't you see what love has done
Love left a window in the skies
Oh, can't you see what love has done
And to love I raphsodize
Oh, can't you see
Say lonely child
Say all the while
Say morning child
In the morning child
Do you want me child
Do you want me child
Do you want me child
And I know you wear the high
I owe you the morning
And I need all you all the summers in the sand
And high we walk when we begin to crawl
And I say child, will you never make it know
Baby sweet, you on and on
And it's suddenly
Bono: "Not too many words."
Yeah, not again
Bono: "Is this the chorus?"
And you walk along...
And you're walking
And it changes
Bono: "That's good, hold it now."
Baby, sweet talking baby
Around...don't turn around and sing
Don't turn around
We suffer in the sand
Don't turn your back
When the same is in your song
Caledonia
Bono: [laughs] "Something?"
Bono: "What's the verse, again?"
Lonely, and you choose your heart
And you're weaving
Don't turn around
Turn around again
Bono: "This is the chorous, yeah."
On wilderland
Don't turn around
The sun ain't gonna shine
We no more day be gone
I want you now
I need you now
Like the curls on the trees and the ohhhh child
Why...love...you want me child
You want a chance, you wanna
But you can't
I need you girl
Don't turn around
Don't turn around no more
Don't turn around, baby see me more
Don't turn around, the sun again is sing you home
So, caledonia
Caledonia, caledonia
Don't turn around
Don't turn around
Don't turn around...
[a second of silence]
Bono: "Try not to do that again."
Hold me now, oh hold me now
'til this hour has gone around
And I'm gone on the rising tide
For to face Van Diemen's land
It's a bitter pill I swallow here
To be rent from one so dear
We fought for justice and not for gain
But the magistrate sent me away
Now kings will rule and the poor will toil
And tear their hands as they tear the soil
But a day will come in this dawning age
When an honest man sees an honest wage
Hold me now, oh hold me now
'til this hour has gone around
And I'm gone on the rising tide
[This song is entirely instrumental]
My love she throws me like a rubber ball
Oh oh oh, the sweetest thing
But she won't catch me or break my fall
Oh oh oh, the sweetest thing
Baby's got blue skies up ahead
But in this I'm a rain cloud
You know she wants a dry kind of love
Oh oh oh, the sweetest thing
I'm losing you
I'm losing you
Ain't love the sweetest thing
I wanted to run but she made me crawl
Oh oh oh, the sweetest thing
Eternal fire, she turned me to straw
Oh oh, the sweetest thing
I know I got black eyes
But they burn so brightly for her
I guess it's a blind kind of love
Oh oh oh, the sweetest thing
I'm losing you
I'm losing you
Ain't love the sweetest thing
(Ain't love the sweetest thing)
Ain't love the sweetest thing
(Ain't love the sweetest thing)
Blue-eyed boy meets a brown-eyed girl
Oh oh oh, the sweetest thing
You can sew it up but you still see the tear
Oh oh oh, the sweetest thing
Baby's got blue skies up ahead
And in this I'm a rain cloud
Ours is a stormy kind of love
Oh oh oh, the sweetest thing
Doo doo doot doot
Doo doo doot doot
Doo doo doot doot
Doot doot doot doot
[Repeat 3x]
The sweetest thing
Oh, the sweetest thing
[This song is entirely instrumental]

Theme From Let's Go Native
Music by U2 and Brian Eno
Transcribed by Brandon Leniart
I think this is in standard tuning, but the bass line bounces around with an Eb and F. Anyway, it's not from a real film, with the "lead character", Barry Boedders, being a possible anagram for "Des Broadbery", one of the studio crew and did the sequencers on "Always Forever Now". It's got a "Fly/Lady With The Spinning Head" type sound, but in F.

This is a song called Party Girl
I know a girl
A girl called Party, Party Girl
I know she wants more than a party, Party Girl
And she won't tell me her name
Oh no, not me
I know a boy
A boy called Trash, Trash Can
I know he does all that he can, wham bam
And she won't tell me his name
It's our hero
When I was three
I thought the world revolved around me
I was wrong and so I sing along
And if you dance, then dance with me
I know a girl
A girl called Party, Party Girl
I know she wants more than a party, Party Girl
I know a boy
A boy called Trampoline
You know what I mean
I think I know what he wants
I think I know what he wants
I think I know what she wants
I think I know what she wants
I think I know what you want
I think I know what she wants
I think I know what he wants
Well thank you
(Instrumental)
A lonesome soul
In an old black coat
A lonesome road
What a way to go
Chasing down
The strings to hold
In an old black coat
A lonesome soul
There is a house in New Orleans
They call the risind sun
It's been the ruin
Of many a poor boy
And God I know I'm one
I cried to my daddy on the telephone, "how long now?"
"Until the clouds unroll and you come home," the line went
But the shadows still remain since your descent, your descent
I cried to my daddy on the telephone "How long now?"
"Until the clouds unroll and you come home" the line went
But the shadows still remain since your descent, your descent yeah, yeah
The saints are coming
The saints are coming
I say no matter how I try
I realize there's no reply
The saints are coming
The saints are coming
I say no matter how I try
I realize there's no reply
Living like birds in magnolia trees
A child on a rooftop
A mother on her knees
Her sign reads
Please, I am an American
Drowning sorrow floods the deepest grief, how long now
Until a weather change condemns belief, how long now
When the night watchman lets in the thief, what's wrong now
The saints are coming
The saints are coming
I say no matter how I try
I realize there's no reply
The saints are coming
The saints are coming
I say no matter how I try
I realize there's no reply
I say no matter how I try
I realize there's no reply
I say no matter how I try
I realize there's no reply
One man come in the name of love
One man come and go
One man come he to justify
One man to overthrow
In the name of love!
What more in the name of love?
In the name of love!
What more? In the name of love!
One man caught on a barbed wire fence
One man he resist
One man washed on an empty beach
One man betrayed with a kiss
In the name of love!
What more in the name of love?
In the name of love!
What more? In the name of love!
Early morning, April 4
Shot rings out in the Memphis sky
Free at last, they took your life
They could not take your pride
In the name of love!
What more in the name of love?
In the name of love!
What more in the name of love?
In the name of love!
What more in the name of love
In the name of Love!
If Coke is a mystery
Michael Jackson...History
If beauty is truth
And surgery the fountain of youth
What am I to do
Have I got the gift to get me through
The gates of that mansion
If OJ is more than a drink
And a Big Mac bigger than you think
If perfume is an obsession
And talk shows, confession
What have we got to lose
Another push and we'll be through
The gates of that mansion
I never bought a Lotto ticket
I never parked in anyone's space
The banks feel like cathedrals
I guess casinos took their place
Love, come on down
Don't wake her, she'll come around
Chance is a kind of religion
Where you're damned for plain hard luck
I never did see that movie
I never did read that book
Love, come on down
Let my numbers come around
Don't know if I can hold on
Don't know if I'm that strong
Don't know if I can wait that long
'Til the colours come flashing
And the lights go on
Then will there be no time for sorrow
Then will there be no time for shame
And though I can't say why
I know I've got to believe
We'll go driving in that pool
It's who you know that gets you through
The gates of the Playboy mansion
But they don't mention...the pain
Then will there be no time for sorrow
Then will there be no time for shame
Then will there be no time for sorrow
Then will there be no time for shame
My love she throws me like a rubber ball
Oh oh oh, the sweetest thing
She won't catch me or break my fall
Oh oh oh, the sweetest thing
Baby's got blue skies up ahead
But in this I'm a rain cloud
You know she likes a dry kind of love
Oh oh oh, the sweetest thing
I'm losing you
Hey hey hey, I'm losing you yeah
Ain't love the sweetest thing
I wanted to run but she made me crawl
Oh oh oh, the sweetest thing
Eternal fire, she turned me to straw
Oh oh, the sweetest thing
You know I got black eyes
But they burn so brightly for her
Mine is a blind kind of love
Oh oh oh, the sweetest thing
I'm losing you
Oh oh oh, I'm losing you yeah
Ain't love the sweetest thing
Oh oh oh, the sweetest thing
Oh oh, yeah
Blue-eyed boy meets a brown-eyed girl
Oh oh oh, the sweetest thing
You can sew it up but you still see the tear
Oh oh oh, the sweetest thing
Baby's got blue skies up ahead
And in this I'm a rain cloud
You know we got a stormy kind of love
Oh oh oh, the sweetest thing
Oh oh, the sweetest thing
Oh oh oh, the sweetest thing
Oh oh oh, the sweetest thing

Green light, Seven Eleven
You stop in for a pack of cigarettes
You don't smoke, don't even want to
Hey now, check your change
Dressed up like a car crash
Your wheels are turning but you're upside down
You say when he hits you, you don't mind
Because when he hurts you, you feel alive
Oh now, is that what it is?
Red light, gray morning
You stumble out of a hole in the ground
A vampire or a victim
It depends on who's around
You'd to stay in to watch the adverts
You could lip synch to the talk shows
And if you look, you look through me
And when you talk, you talk at me
And when I touch you, you don't feel a thing
If I could stay... then the night would give you up
Stay... and the day would keep its trust
Stay... and the night would be enough
Faraway, so close
Up with the static and the radio
With satellite television
You can go anywhere
Miami, New Orleans
London, Belfast and Berlin
And if you listen I can't call
And if you jump, you just might fall
And if you shout, I'll only hear you
But if you stay... then the night would break it's trust
Stay... and the day would give you
Stay... with the spirits you found
Stay€ and the night will be enough
Doo doo doo
Doo, doo doo doo
Doo, doo doo doo
Dah, dah dah dah
Dah, dah nah nah
Dah, dah nah nah
Dah, dah nah nah
Doo, doo doo doo
And if you listen I can't call
And if you jump, you just might fall
And if you shout, I'll only hear you
But if you stay
Then the day would give you up
Stay... with the demons you drowned
Stay... with the spirits you found
Stay€ and the night will be enough
Three o'clock in the morning
It's quiet and there's no one around
Just the bang and the clatter
As an angel runs to ground
Just the bang
And the clatter
As an angel
Summer stretching on the grass
Summer dresses pass
In the shade of a willow tree
Creeps a crawling over me
Over me and over you
Stuck together with God's glue
It's going to get stickier too
It's been a long hot summer
Let's get under cover
Don't try too hard to think
Don't think at all
I'm not the only one
Staring at the sun
Afraid of what you'd find
If you took a look inside
I'm not just deaf and dumb
Staring at the sun
Not the only one
Who's happy to go blind
There's an insect in your ear
If you scratch it won't disappear
It's going to itch and burn and sting
You want to see what the scratching brings
Waves that leave me out of reach
Breaking on your back like a beach
Will we ever live in peace
'Cause those that can't do
Often have to
And those that can't do
Often have to preach
Intransigence is all around
Military still in town
Armour plated suits and ties
Daddy just won't say goodbye
Referee won't blow the whistle
God is good but will He listen
I'm nearly great
But there's something missing
I left it in the duty free
But you never really belonged to me
You're not the only one
Staring at the sun
Afraid of what you'd find
If you stepped back inside
I'm not sucking on my thumb
I'm staring at the sun
Not the only one
Who's happy to go blind
You're not the only one
Staring at the sun
Afraid of what you'd find
If you stepped back inside
I'm not sucking on my thumb
I'm staring at the sun
Not the only one
Who's happy to go blind
Sun... I'm not the only one
Who's happy to go blind...
Summer stretching on the grass
Summer dresses pass
In the shade of a willow tree
Creeps a crawling over me
Over me and over you
Stuck together with God's glue
It's going to get stickier too
It's been a long hot summer
Let's get under cover
Don't try too hard to think
Don't think at all
I'm not the only one
Staring at the sun
Afraid of what you'll find
If you took a look inside
I'm not just deaf and dumb
Staring at the sun
Not the only one
Who's happy to go blind
There's an insect in your ear
If you scratch it won't disappear
It's going to itch and burn and sting
You want to see what the scratching brings
Waves that leave me out of reach
Breaking on your back like a beach
Will we ever live in peace
'Cause those that can't do
Often have to
And those that can't do
Often have to preach
To the ones
Staring at the sun
Afraid of what you'll find
If you took a look inside
Not just deaf and dumb
Staring at the sun
I'm not the only one
Who'd rather go blind
Intransigence is all around
Military still in town
Armour-plated suits and ties
Daddy just won't say goodbye
Referee won't blow the whistle
God is good but will He listen
I'm nearly great
But there's something missing
I left it in the duty free
But you never really belonged to me
You're not the only one
Staring at the sun
Afraid of what you'd find
If you stepped back inside
I'm sucking on my thumb
Staring at the sun
I'm not the only one
Who's happy to go blind
I'm not the only one...
Summer stretching on the grass
Summer dresses pass
In the shade of a willow tree
Creeps a crawling over me
Over me and over you
Stuck together with God's glue
It's going to get stickier too
It's been a long hot summer
Let's get under cover
Don't try too hard to think
Don't think at all
I'm not the only one
Staring at the sun
Afraid of what you'd find
If you took a look inside
I'm not just deaf and dumb
Staring at the sun
Not the only one
Who's happy to go blind
There's an insect in your ear
If you scratch it won't disappear
It's going to itch and burn and sting
You want to see what the scratching brings
Waves that leave me out of reach
Breaking on your back like a beach
Will we ever live in peace
'Cause those that can't do
Often have to
And those that can't do
Often have to preach
To the ones
Staring at the sun
Afraid of what you'll find
If you took a look inside
Not just deaf and dumb
Staring at the sun
I'm not the only one
Who'd rather go blind
Intransigence is all around
Military still in town
Armour plated suits and ties
Daddy just won't say goodbye
Referee won't blow the whistle
God is good but will He listen
I'm nearly great
But there's something missing
I left it in the duty free
But you never really belonged to me
You're not the only one
Staring at the sun
Afraid of what you'd find
If you stepped back inside
I'm not sucking on my thumb
I'm staring at the sun
Not the only one
Who's happy to go blind
Summer stretching on the grass
Summer dresses pass
In the shade of a willow tree
Creeps a crawling over me
Over me and over you
Stuck together with God's glue
It's going to get stickier too
It's been a long hot summer
Let's get under cover
Don't try too hard to think
Don't think at all
I'm not the only one
Staring at the sun
Afraid of what you'd find
If you took a look inside
I'm not just deaf and dumb
Staring at the sun
Not the only one

Baby, please
Baby, please don't go
I got lies to feed
They want skin and seed
Now don't make me crawl
Baby, please
Baby don't bite your lip
Give you half what I got
If you untie the knot
It's a promise
Salome
Salome
Salome
Salome
Yeah, yeah yeah!
Baby please
Baby what's that tune?
Well I heard it before
When I called through your door
And my blood turned blue
Baby please
Baby please slow down
Baby I feel sick
Don't make me stick to my promise
Salome
Salome
Salome
Salome
Salome
Salome
[Verse below repeats in the backgroud]
Got to, got to get ya
I got to get ya
Got to, got to get ya
Got to, got to get ya
I got to get ya
Got to, got to get ya
Got to, got to get ya
Got to, got to get ya
Baby please
Baby don't say no
Won't you dance for me
Beneath the cherry tree?
Won't you swing down low?
Please
Baby please say yes
Baby don't go away
You're spilling me
And your precious love
Shake it, shake it, shake it Salome
Shake it, shake it, shake it Salome
Shake it, shake it, shake it Salome
Shake it, shake it, shake it Salome
Shake it, shake it, shake it Salome
Shake it, shake it, shake it Salome
Shake it, shake it, shake it Salome
Salome
Alright now
Under the spell of your love
Under the spell of your love
Under the spell of your love
So you never knew love
Until you'd crossed the line of grace
And you never felt wanted
'Til you had someone slap your face
And you never felt alive
Until you'd almost wasted away
You had to win
You couldn't just pass
The smartest ass
At the top of the class
Your flying colors
Your family tree
And all your lessons in history
Please...please...please...
Get up off your knees, now
Please...please...please...
Leave it out...
So you never knew
How low you'd stoop to make that call
And you never knew
What was on the ground until they made you crawl
So you never knew
That the heaven you keep, you stole
Your Catholic blues
Your convent shoes
Your stick-on tattoos
Now they're making the news
Your holy war
Your northern star
Your sermon on the mount
From the boot of your car
Please...please...please...
Get up off your knees, now
Please...please...please...
Leave it out
'Cause love is big
And love is tough
But love is not
What you're thinking of
September
Streets capsizing
Spilling over
And down the drain
Shards of glass
Splinters like rain
But you could only feel
Your own pain
October
Talk getting nowhere
November
December
Remember
Are we just starting again
Please...please...please...
Get up off your knees, now
Please...
'Cause love is big
Is bigger than us
But love is not
What you're thinking of
It's what lovers deal
It's what lovers steal
You know I've found it hard to receive
'Cause you my love
I could never believe
October
And the trees are stripped bare
Of all they wear
What do I care
October
And kingdoms rise
And kingdoms fall
I'm 'round the corner from anything that's real
I'm across the road from hope
I'm under a bridge in a rip tide
That's taken everything I call my own
One step closer to knowing
One step closer to knowing
I'm on an island at a busy intersection
I can't go forward, I can't turn back
Can't see the future
It's getting away from me
I just watch the tail lights glowing
One step closer to knowing
One step closer to knowing
One step closer to knowing
Knowing, knowing
I'm hanging out to dry
With my old clothes
Finger still red with the prick of an old rose
Well the heart that hurts
Is a heart that beats
Can you hear the drummer slowing?
One step closer to knowing
One step closer to knowing
One step closer to knowing
One nine nine three
Soul Assassins come to deal with roughneck destruction
I feel numb
U2 come down with the matter of numb business
Top of the matter
Don't move
Don't talk out of time
Don't think
Don't worry everything's just fine
Just fine
Don't grab
Don't clutch
Don't hope for too much
Don't breathe
Don't achieve
Or grieve without leave
Don't check
Just balance on the fence
Don't answer
Don't ask
Don't try and make sense
I feel numb
Don't whisper
Don't talk
Don't run if you can walk
Don't cheat, compete
Don't miss the one beat
I feel numb
Don't travel by train
Don't eat
Don't spill
Don't piss in the drain
Don't make a will
Don't fill out any forms
Don't compensate
Don't cower
Don't crawl
Don't come around late
Don't hover at the gate
Don't take it on board
Don't fall on your sword
Just play another chord
If you feel you're getting bored
I feel numb
Don't be heavy
Don't be unkind
It's not that bad
Just try and unwind
I feel numb
Don't change your brand
Don't listen to the band
Don't ape
Don't gape
Don't change your shape
Have another grape
Come on, come on, hey
I feel numb
Come on, come on, hey
I feel numb
Come on, come on, hey

Come on, come on, hey

Don't plead

Music: U2, Lyrics: Lyrics by Christy Moore, Bono and the Edge
I want to reach out over the Loch
And feel your hand across the water
Walk with you along an unapproved road
Not looking over my shoulder
I wanna see, and I wanna hear
To understand your fears
But we're north and south of the river
I've been doing it wrong all of my life
This holy town has turned me over
A young man running from what he didn't understand
While the wind from the Loch just get colder, colder
There was a badness that had its way
But love wasn't lost, love will have its day
North and south of the river
North and south of the river
Can we stop playing this old tattoo
Darling I don't have the answer
I wanna meet you where you are
I don't need ya to surrender
'Cause there's no feeling that's so alone
As when the one you're hurting is your own
North and south of the river
North and south of the river
North and south of the river
Some high ground is not worth taking
Some connections are not worth making
This old church bell no longer ringing
Some old songs are not worth bringing
North... / Higher ground is not worth taking
Johnny take a dive
With your sister in the rain
Let her talk about the things
You can't explain
To touch is to heal
To hurt is to steal
If you want to kiss the sky
Better learn how to kneel
On your knees boy
She's slippy
You€™re sliding down
She'll be there
When you hit the ground (ah)
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
She moves in mysterious ways
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
She moves in mysterious ways
Oh love
Johnny take a dive
With your sister in the rain
Let her talk about the things
You can't explain
To touch is to heal
To hurt is to steal
If you want to kiss the sky
Better learn how to kneel
On your knees boy
She wants you
You don't know why
She sees the man
Inside the child
Yeah
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
She moves in mysterious ways (oh-yeah..)
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
She moves in mysterious ways, yeah
Love
It's alright, it's alright, alright / Oh
Lift my days, light up my nights, love
Oh-oh love
Oh lovelove
Move
Baby love me
Move it baby
Love time
Lift my days, light up my nights
You say you want diamonds on a ring of gold
You say you want your story to remain untold
But all the promises we make from the cradle to the grave
When all I want is you
You say you'll give me a highway with no one on it
Treasure just to look upon it all the riches in the night
You say you'll give me eyes in a moon of blindness
A river in a time of dryness, a harbour in the tempest
But all the promises we make from the cradle to the grave
When all I want is you
You say you want your love to work out right
To last with me through the night
You say you want diamonds on a ring of gold
Your story to remain untold, your love not to grow cold
All the promises we break from the cradle to the grave
When all I want is you
All I want is you
All I want is you
Love is blindness
I don't want to see
Won't you wrap the night
Around me
Oh my heart
Love is blindness
In a parked car
In a crowded street
You see your love
Made complete
Thread is ripping
The knot is slipping
Love is blindness
Love is clockworks
And cold steel
Fingers too numb to feel
Squeeze the handle
Blow out the candle
Love is blindness
Love is blindness
I don't want to see
Won't you wrap the night
Around me
Oh my love
Blindness
A little death
Without mourning
No call
And no warning
Baby...a dangerous idea
That almost makes sense
Love is drowning
In a deep well
All the secrets
And no one to tell
Take the money
Honey
Blindness
Love is blindness
I don't want to see
Won't you wrap the night
Around me
Oh my love
Love don't need to find a way
You find your own way
I forget that I can't stay
And so I say that
All roads lead to where you are
All roads lead to where you are
The seed is spilled, the bed defiled
For you, a virgin bride
Hide yourself in someone else
Don't find yourself in me
I can't lift you up again
Love comes tumbling down again
Love don't need to find a way
You find your own way
I forget that you can stay
And so I say that
All roads lead to where you are
Alright
Lemon
See through in the sunlight
She wore lemon
But never in the daylight
She's gonna make you cry
She's gonna make you whisper and moan
And when you're dry
She draws her water from the stone
And I feel
Like I'm slowly, slowly, slowly slipping under
And I feel
Like I'm holding onto nothing
She wore lemon
To colour in the cold grey night
She had heaven
And she held on so tight
A man makes a picture
A moving picture
Through light projected
He can see himself up close
A man captures colour / (She's your desti-)
A man likes to stare / (Oh, boy)
He turns his money into light to look for her
And I feel
Like I'm drifting, drifting, drifting from the shore
And I feel
Like I'm swimming out to her
Midnight is where the day begins
A man builds a city
With banks and cathedrals
A man melts the sand so he can
See the world outside, You're gonna meet her there
A man makes a car, She's your destination
And builds a road to run them on, You gotta get to her
A man dreams of leaving, She's imagination
But he always stays behind
And these are the days
When our work has come asunder
And these are the days
When we look for something other
Midnight is where the day begins
Midnight is where the day begins
Midnight is where the day begins
And these are the days
When our work has come asunder
And these are the days
When we look to each other
Midnight... hey there summer love
Midnight... sound your pipe pete
Midnight... the day begins in love
Lemon
See through in the sunlight
She wore lemon
But never in the daylight
She's gonna make you cry
She's gonna make you whisper and moan
And when you're dry
She draws her water from the stone
And I feel
Like I'm slowly, slowly, slowly slipping under
And I feel
Like I'm holding onto nothing
She wore lemon
To colour in the cold grey night
She had heaven
And she held on so tight
A man makes a picture
A moving picture
Through light projected
He can see himself up close
A man captures colour
A man likes to stare
He turns his money into light to look for her
And I feel
Like I'm drifting, drifting, drifting from the shore
And I feel
Like I'm swimming out to her
Midnight is where the day begins
Midnight is where the day begins
Alright

She feels the ground is giving way
But she thinks we're better off that way
The more you take the less you feel
The less you know the more you believe
The more you have the more it takes today
You got to give it away
(You got to give it away)
You got to give it away
(You got to give it away)
You got to give it away
(You got to give it away)
She knows just what she's worth
She's living like it's the last night on earth
The last night on earth
She's not waiting on a saviour to come
She's at the bus-stop with News of the World and the Sun
Sun, here it comes
She's not waiting for anyone
You got to give it away
(You got to give it away)
You got to give it away
(You got to give it away)
You got to give it away
(You got to give it away)
She don't care what it's worth
But she's living like it's the last night on earth
The last night on earth
Slipping away
(Would you believe in something
Would you believe in someone)
Slip slide
She lets me
Slipping away
(Would you believe in something
Would you believe in someone)
The world turns
And we get dizzy
Slipping away
(Would you believe in something
Would you believe in someone)
She's living, living next week now
You know she's going to pay it back somehow
She hasn't been to bed in a week
She'll be dead soon then she'll sleep
You got to give it away
(You got to give it away)
You got to give it away
(You got to give it away)
You got to give it away
(You got to give it away)
She already knows it hurts
She's living like it's the last night on earth
The last night on earth
Last night on earth
Last night...
Into the heart...of a child
I stay a while...oh, I can go back
Into the heart...of a child
I can smile
I can go there
Into the heart
Into the heart of a child
I can go back
I can stay awhile
Tonight the moon is playing tricks again
I'm feeling sea sick again
The whole world could just dissolve
Into a glass of water
I've been good 'cause I know you don't want me to
Do you really want me to be blue as you
It's her daylight that gets me through
We've been here before
Last time you scratched at my door
The moon was naked and cold
I was like a two year old
Who just wanted more
If you wear that velvet dress
If you wear that velvet dress
Tonight the moon has drawn its curtains
It's a private show
No one else going to know
I'm wanting
Sunlight, sunlight fills my room
It's sharp and it's clear
But nothing at all like the moon
It's okay, the struggle for things not to say
I never listened to you anyway
And I got my own hands to pray
But if you wear that velvet dress
But if you wear that velvet dress
Tonight the moon is a mirrorball
Light flickers from across the hall
Who'll catch the star when it falls
If you wear that velvet dress
All my life, I worshipped her
Her golden voice, her beauty's beat
How she made us feel
How she made me feel
And the ground beneath her feet
And the ground beneath her feet
And now I can't be sure of anything
Black is white, and cold is heat
For what I worshipped stole my love away
It was the ground beneath her feet
It was the ground beneath her feet
Go lightly down your darkened way
Go lightly underground
I'l be down there another day
I won't rest until you're found
Let me love you true, let me rescue you
Let me lead you to where two roads meet
O come back above
Where there's only love
And the ground beneath her feet#
And the ground beneath her feet
Written by Lennon/McCartney
Happiness is a warm gun
Happiness is a warm gun
She's not a girl who misses much
Du du du du, oh yeah
She's not a girl who misses much
Du du du du, oh yeah
Mother Superior jump the gun
Mother Superior jump the gun
Mother Superior jump the gun
Mother Superior jump the gun
Happiness is a warm gun
Happiness is a warm gun
She's well acquainted with the touch of the velvet hand
Like a lizard on a window pane
The man in the crowd
With the multicoloured mirrors on his hobnail boots
Lying with his eyes wide open
And the hands busy working overtime
A soap impression of his wife which he ate
And donated to the National Trust
Hey, I need a fix 'cause I'm going down
Happiness is a, a warm gun
Happiness is a, a warm gun
Happiness is a, a warm gun
Happiness is a warm gun
Happiness is a warm gun
Happiness is a warm gun
I need a fix cause I'm going down
I need a fix cause I'm going down
I need a fix cause I'm going down / I need a fix cause I'm going down
To the bits that I left uptown
I need a fix cause I'm going down, uptown / Down to the bits that I left uptown
Need a fix cause I'm going down, uptown / I need a fix cause I'm going down
Happiness is a, a warm gun
Happiness is a, a warm gun
Happiness is a, a warm gun
Happiness is a warm gun
Happiness is a warm gun
Happiness is a warm gun / Warm gun
Happiness is a warm gun / Warm gun
You get to feel so guilty
You got so much for so little
Then you find that feeling
Just won't go away
You were holding on to every little thing so tightly
'Til there's nothing left for you anyway
Goodbye...
You can keep this suit of lights
I'll be up with the sun
I'm not coming down
I'm not coming down
I'm not coming down
You wanted to get somewhere so badly
You kinda lose yourself along the way
You change your name, but that's okay, it's necessary
What you leave behind you don't miss anyway
Goodbye...
You can keep this suit of lights
I'll be up with the sun
I'm not coming down
I'm not coming down
I'm not coming down
And I'm already gone
Felt that way all along
Closer to you every day
Didn't want it that much anyway
You're taking steps that make you feel dizzy
Then you learn to like the way it feels
You hurt yourself you hurt your lover
Then you discover
What you thought was freedom just was greed
Goodbye...
No emotional...good night
I'll be up with the sun
Are you still holding on
I'm not coming down
I'm not coming down
I'm not coming down
Gone...sun...time...sun...
Gone...sun....gone...sun...
Sun...
I need some freedom
Freedom for my people
I want some freedom
Freedom
Freedom, freedom for my people
I'd like some freedom
I need some freedom for my people
Freedom
You know he got the cure
You know he went astray
He used to stay awake
To drive the dreams he had away
He wanted to believe
In the hands of love
His head it felt heavy
As he cut across the land
A dog started crying
Like a broken hearted man
At the howling wind
At the howling wind
He went deeper into black
Deeper into white
Could see the stars shining
Like nails in the night
He felt the healing
Healing, healing
Healing hands of love
Like the stars shiny shiny
From above
Hand in the pocket
Finger on the steel
The pistol weighed heavy
His heart he could feel
Was beating, beating
Beating, beating oh my love
Oh my love, oh my love
Oh my love
My love
Saw the hands that build
Can also pull down
Where do we go from here
Where do we go from here
I waited patiently for the Lord
He inclined and heard my cry
He brought me up out of the pit
Out of the miry clay
I will sing, sing a new song
I will sing, sing a new song
How long to sing this song
How long to sing this song
How long...how long...how long...
How long...to sing this song
He set my feet upon a rock
And made my footsteps firm
Many will see
Many will see and fear
I will sing, sing a new song
I will sing, sing a new song
I will sing, sing a new song
I will sing, sing a new song
How long to sing this song
How long to sing this song
How long...how long...how long...
The sea it swells like a sore head
and the night it is aching
Two lovers lie with no sheets on their bed
and the day it is breaking
On rainy days we go swimming out
on rainy days, swimming in the sound
On rainy days we go swimming out
You're in my mind all of the time
I know that's not enough
if the sky can crack
there must be some way back
for love and only love
Car alarm won't let you back to sleep
you're kept awake dreaming some else's dream
coffee is cold, but it will get you through
compromise, that's nothing new to you
let's see colours that have never been seen
let's go to places no one else has been
You're in my mind all of the time
I know that's not enough
if the sky can crack
there must be some way back
to love and only love
Electrical Storm
Electrical Storm
Electrical Storm
Baby don't cry
It's hot as hell, honey in this room
sure hope the weather will break soon
the air is heavy, heavy as a truck
hope the rain will wash away our bad luck
heeeey... heeeey.....
If the sky can crack, there must be some way back
for love and only love
Electrical Storm
Electrical Storm
Electrical Storm
Baby don't cry
Baby don't cry
Baby don't cry
Baby don't cry

Love
I don't know you
And you don't know the half of it
I had a starring role
I was the bad guy who walked out
They say be careful where you aim
'Cause where you aim you just might hit
You can hold on to something so tight
You've already lost it
Dragging me down
That's not the way it used to be
You can't even remember
What I'm trying to forget
It was a dirty day
Dirty day
You're looking for explanations
I don't even understand
If you need someone to blame
Throw a rock in the air
You'll hit someone guilty
From father to son
In one life has begun
A work that's never done
Father to son
Get it right
There's no blood thicker than ink
Hear what I say
Nothing's simple as you think
Wake up
This is something you can't get around
I'm in you
More so when they put me in the ground
These days, days, days run away like horses over the hill
These days, days, days run away like horses over the hill...
[Repeat and fade until end]
I don't know you

Hey, see you soon
Sail through your room
I'll meet you there
Hey, be my friend
Stay 'til the end
Don't walk away
Hey, hey, hey-hey
Hey, take them off
Don't talk that way
Don't hear my lover say
Hey, hey, hey
Chains move that thing
Chains we don't see
My chain's way too long
Chains...
Chains move that thing
Chains we don't see
(The) chains are way too long
And hear my song
As long as the night is coloured blue and black
Oh yeah yeah yeah
As long as you’re on your knees and she’s not on her back
Oh yeah yeah yeah
Avenue Atlantico 1702
She’s cocoa butter, baby, she’s the glue
She’s got a baby at her breast
She knows big girls are best
Mama mama mama
I’m gonna change like the weather, hot to cold
Oh yeah yeah yeah
She keeps it all together, she’s got the motherload
Oh yeah yeah yeah
She feels it, every sensation
She’s got a smile like salvation
She’s got a baby at her breast
She knows big girls are best
Mama mama mama
Sexy mama mama mama
Sexy mama mama mama
She’s elliptical, also political
All so spiritual, not superficial
Yeah, she’s tropical, yes, she’s illogical
Those little girls are a pest
Big girls are the best
As long as the night is coloured blue and black
Oh yeah yeah yeah
As long as you’re on your knees and she’s not on her back
Oh yeah yeah yeah
She can taste every sensation
She’s got a smile like salvation
She's got a baby, a baby at her breast
She walks like she talks
Big girls are best
Big girls
Mama mama mama
Sexy mama mama mama
Sexy mama mama mama
Sexy mama mama mama
Sexy mama mama mama
My mama
Say goodnight
She waits for me to
Put out the light
Lay there still
She waits to break my will
Yes, if I know the truth about you...
And in the daylight
A blackbird makes a violent sight
And when she is done
She sleeps beside the wild
Always always, always forever now
Always always, always forever now
Always forever
Always forever now
Always forever
Always forever now
Always forever now
Always always, always forever now
Always forever now
Always forever now
Here today, gone tomorrow
Crack the bone, get to the marrow
To be a bee and the flower
Before the sweetness turns to sour
What we have we?re gonna keep always
What we've lost we don?t need always
What is it that won?t let you sleep always
Be the arrow and the target
Put your head over the parapet
Be uncool, yes, be awkward
Don?t look in the obvious place
The soul needs beauty for a soul mate
Get down off your holy cloud always
God will not deal with the proud, always
Well, if you dream then dream out loud, always
Eternally yours, always
I want you, I want you, I want you
Here she come
Touching the other side
I wanted to be in love
I wanted to call
Hey, soon, soon
You say, come, you know yourself, always
Go, find yourself in someone else, always
And always wear a safety belt always
Wait for me, I?m running late, always
This is the moment that we share for always
Turning slowly into a prayer, always
Now and forever, for always
Those cars
On you
So small
Down there
From here
So high
We drift
We fly
Twilight breaks through
A different kind of blue
More lights
Blue signs
All gold
All new
So small
So high
Down there
Tonight
With twilight breaking through
It's a different kind of blue
Twilight breaking through
Did you get it
Did you need it
Did you really
What you wanted
Was it good in the sun
Did you really have the fun
Did you crack it
Did you grab it
Did you reel it
Like a rabbit
Did you walk
Did you run
Did you move this here
Uh huh
And how could you do
And make it so, sing this song
Where did it all go wrong
Where did it all go wrong
Did you grab it
Did you want it
Is it really what you wanted
Did you run in the sun
Did you imitate a walk
Did you answer
Did you grab it
Did you gun it like a rabbit
Did you walk
Did you run
Can you feel you rising up
And how can you do
And when you sang it in the song
And it sank, and it threw
Where did it all go wrong
Did you drown it
Did you roll it
Did you smash it
Did you warm it
Did you clean it
Clean it up
Did you rub it
Did you soap
Did you screen it
Did you ream it
Did you ruin it
Did you feed it
Is warm in the sun
When the weather's getting warm
And the world is at your feet
And it is our time to say
It's all gone wrong
Where did it all go wrong
(Oh yeah, oh yeah)
You take me, baby, in circles, yes
Darling, darling, darling...I want you
Why oh, why oh, why oh...stony rose
You lose your guy
You walk on by
You walk on by
You walk on by
You walk on by
Did you lose the guy
Did you lose the guy
Did you lose the guy
Rejoice, rejoice
Rejoice, rejoice
Baby, please, baby, please don't go
I got lies to feed, they want skin and seed
Now, don't make me crawl
Baby, please, baby don't bite your lip
Give you half what I got if you untie the knot
It's a promise
Salome, Salome, Salome, Salome
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Baby, please, baby, what's that tune?
Well, I heard it before when I crawled through your door
And my blood turned blue
Baby, please, baby, please slow down
Baby, I feel sick
Don't make me stick to my promise
Salome, Salome
Salome, Salome, Salome, Salome
Baby, please, baby, don't say no
Won't you dance for me
Under the cherry tree
Won't you swing down low?
Please, baby, please say yes
Baby, don't go away, you're spilling me
And your precious love
Shake it, shake it, shake it Salome
Shake it, shake it, shake it Salome
Shake it, shake it, shake it Salome
Shake it, shake it, shake it Salome
Shake it, shake it, shake it Salome
Shake it, shake it, shake it Salome
Shake it, shake it, shake it Salome
Salome
Alright now
Under the spell of your love
And so she woke up
Woke up from where she was
Lying still
Said I gotta do something
About where we're going
Step on a steam train
Step out of the driving rain, maybe
Run from the darkness in the night
Singing ha, ah la la la de day
Ah la la la de day
Ah la la de day
Sweet the sin
Bitter taste in my mouth
I see seven towers
But I only see one way out
You got to cry without weeping
Talk without speaking
Scream without raising your voice
You know I took the poison
From the poison stream
Then I floated out of here
Singing...ha la la la de day
Ha la la la de day
Ha la la de day
She runs through the streets
With her eyes painted red
Under black belly of cloud in the rain
In through a doorway she brings me
White gold and pearls stolen from the sea
She is raging
She is raging
And the storm blows up in her eyes
She will...
Suffer the needle chill
She's running to stand...
It's falling it's falling
And outside the buildings
Are tumbling down
And inside a child on the ground
Says he'd do it again
And what am I to do
What in the world am I to say
There's nothing else to do
He says he'll change the world someday
I rejoice
This morning I fell out of bed
When I woke up to what he has said
Everything's crazy
But I'm too lazy to lie
And what am I to do
Just tell me what am I supposed to say
I can't change the world
But I can change the world in me
If I rejoice
Rejoice...
And what am I to do
Just tell me what am I supposed to say
I can't change the world
But I can change the world in me
If I rejoice
I don't know what to change
Thank you
Don't mention it
I'm pleased to meet you
Don't think I'm very good at this
Let me show
I don't wanna know
I just wanna go (down)
F-f-falling...the world is by your side
Falling...did you find a place to hide
I just wanna know
I just wanna go
T-t-touching you
T-t-touching you
T-t-touching you
She said, the twenty second floor
But I said, I can't think what it's for
I just wanna know
I don't wanna go
T-t-touching you
T-t-touching you
T-t-touching you
I'm t-t-touching you
T-t-touching you
T-t-touching you
Tell me the perfect color
Show me the ways and numbers
Don't give it away
What's the certainty?
There's a known complication
I don't want to know
Where does it go nobody knows
Nobody knows, nobody knows
There's a long conversation
Hitting deep within your bosom
And you've held onto nothing
For way too long
There are words long unspoken
And a heart which hasn't broken
But the time keeps on growing on and on
On and on, on and on
See what you need
Then you'll see there's no other way to be
Take your time, don't be shy
It's your time to shine
Tell me the perfect color
Show me the ways and numbers
Tell me the thoughts you think of
Show me the constellation
Don't give it away
Don't give it away
Don't give it away
Don't give it away
Spirit of the rising sun lift me up
Hold me there and never let me fall
Love me 'til I die, my heart won't wait
Soon I will be loved...
In this love song, love
Love song, love song
Hey, hey, love won't find
Find its own way home
In this love song, love
Love, love song
Sun shine, sun shine on me
Sun shine, sun shine on me
In this love song, love
Love song, love song
Hey, hey, love won't find
Find its own way home
In this love song, love song
Love song, love song
Sun shine on me
Bring it through to my heart
I would give you everything
I will give you my desire
Sun shine, sunshine on me
I was talking
I was talking to myself
Somebody else
Talk talk talking
I couldn't hear a word
A word you said
He was my brother
I said there was no other
Way out of here
Be my brother
Gotta get out
Gotta get out
I was walking
I was walking into walls
I'm back again
I just keep walking
I walk into a window
To see myself
And my reflection
When I thought about it
My direction
Going nowhere
Going nowhere
No one...no one is blinder
Than he who will not see
No one...no one is blinder
Than me
I was talking
I was talking in my sleep
I can't stop talking
I'm talking to you
It's up to you
Be my brother
There is another way out of here
In my brother
Gotta get out
Gotta get out
Afraid, but you will not run
Alone, thy will be done
Confessed, but you still feel the shame
Bring me into your arms again
Heroine
Heroine
Heroine
Heroine
Touch these eyes with a broken smile
Touch my mouth with your furrowed brow
With my heart feel my shame
Lead me into rest again
Heroine
Heroine
Heroine
Heroine
The night is long but the day will come
With promises were the chosen one
Soak the sea, sweet taste the rain
Fall tonight into my arms again
Heroine
Heroine
Heroine
Heroine
The night is long but the day will come
With promises were the chosen one
Soak the sea, sweet taste the rain
You're a precious stone
You're out on your own
You know everyone in the world
But you feel alone
Daddy won't let you weep
Daddy won't let you ache
Daddy gives you as much as you can take
A-ha sha-la, a-ha sha-la
Daddy's gonna pay for your crashed car
A little uptight
You're a baby's fist
Butterfly kisses up and down your wrist
When you see daddy coming
You're licking your lip
Nails bitten down to the quick
A-ha sha-la, a-ha sha-la
Daddy's gonna pay for your crashed car
Daddy's gonna pay for your crashed car
You've got a head full of traffic
You're a siren's song
You cry for mama
And daddy's right along
He gives you the keys to a flamin' car
Daddy's with you wherever you are
Daddy's a comfort
Daddy's your best friend
Daddy'll hold your hand right up to the end
A-ha sha-la, a-ha sha-la
Daddy's gonna pay for your crashed car
Daddy's gonna pay for your crashed car
Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday's
The more you see the less you know
The less you find out as you go
I knew much more then, than I do now
Neon heart day glow eyes
A city lit by fireflies
They're advertising in the skies
For people like us
And I miss you when you're not around
I'm getting ready to leave the ground
Oh, you look so beautiful tonight
In the city of blinding lights
Don't look before you laugh
Look ugly in a photograph
Flash bulbs purple irises
The camera can't see
I've seen you walk unafraid
I've seen you in the clothes you made
Can you see the beauty inside of me?
What happened to the beauty I had inside of me?
And I miss you when you're not around
I'm getting ready to leave the ground
Oh, you look so beautiful tonight
In the city of blinding lights
Time, time, time, time, time, time
Won't leave me as I am
But time won't take the boy out of this man
Oh, you look so beautiful tonight
Oh, you look so beautiful tonight
Oh, you look so beautiful tonight
In the city of blinding lights
The more you know the less you feel
Some pray for others steal
Blessings are not just for the ones who kneel luckily
Boy-girl, boy-girl
When a boy meets a girl
Boy-girl
Finding out
I'm finding out the things
That I've been talking about
I'm finding all the things
That I've been missing out
Finding all the things
I lose my mind
Sometimes fall behind
You and I we live on the big ship
And time goes by
You make up and I believe a lady's lie
Your skin is coloured strawberries and cream
Sometimes ice cream
Boy-girl, boy-girl
When a boy meets a girl
Boy-girl
We go out
A picture or a disco or a roundabout
I walk you home, I hold you there
You're giving out
I open doors so I can shut your face
Know your place
Boy-girl, boy-girl
When a boy meets a girl
Boy-girl
You can take me in your hand
Stand back, leave me, come in
Up and down and all around
You will sideways to the ground
Boy-girl, boy-girl
When a boy meets a girl
Bright morning lights
Wipe the sleep from another day's eye
Turn away from the wall
And there's Nothing at all
Being naked and afraid
In the open space of my bed
I'll be with you now
I'll be with you now
I'll be with you now
We lie on a cloud
We lie...
Just as I am
I awoke with a tear on my tongue
I awoke with a feeling of never before
In my sleep I discover the one
But she ran with the morning sun
I'll be with you now
I'll be with you now
I'll be with you now
We lie on a cloud
We lie...
Another time, another place
We lie...
Another child has lost the race
We lie...
Another time, another place
We lie...
Your time, your price
We lie...
Another time, another place
We lie...
Another child has lost...
We lie...
Another time, another place
We lie...
What is it that keeps me back from you
What is it when I just can't get through
What is it when we've nothing left to do
But savor the mess that we tried
What is it when the clock just won't rewind
What is it when our love seems to stop time
I'm telling you
Waving a white flag
Baby got a white flag flying for you baby
Got a white flag, a white flag
Angels too tied to the ground
Angels too tied to the ground
Angels too tied to the ground
And now it's only alive in my head
In my mind
All in my head, in my mind
Angels too tied to the ground
Angels too tied to the ground
Angels too tied to the ground
Angels too tied to the ground
Angels too tied to the ground
I was born a child of grace
Nothing else about the place
Everything was ugly but your beautiful face
And it left me no illusion
I saw you in the curve of the moon
In the shadow cast across my room
You heard me in my tune
When I just heard confusion
All because of you
All because of you
All because of you
I am...I am
I like the sound of my own voice
I didn't give anyone else a choice
An intellectual tortoise
Racing with your bullet train
Some people get squashed crossing the tracks
Some people got high rises on their backs
I'm not broke but you can see the cracks
You can make me perfect again
All because of you
All because of you
All because of you
I am...I am
I'm alive
I'm being born
I just arrived, I'm at the door
Of the place I started out from
And I want back inside
All because of you
All because of you
All because of you
It's cold outside
It gets so hot in here
And the boys and girls collide
To The music in my ear
Hear the children crying
And I know it's time to go
I hear the children crying
Take me home
A painted face
And I know we haven't long
We thought that we had the answers
It was the questions we had wrong
Hear the children crying
And I know it's time to go
I hear the children crying
Take me home
Sad song, sad song
Sad song, sad song
La lah la lah...La lah la lah...La lah lah...
Sad song, sad song
Sad song, sad song
Call out your name
Call out in shame
Call out your name
Call out
You better call out
You won't hold me, hold me down
You won't break this heart
I will be free again
Stone cold night on a cold stone floor
A cluster of lights on the prison door
I want to be with you, be with you night and day
Nothing changes on New Year's day
I will begin again
I will begin again
Oh, I want to be with you, be with you night and day
Nothing changes on New Year's day
On New Year's day

Lookin' in the places where no flowers grow
Been around front, been around back
Lookin' for to fill that God shaped hole
Been around front, been around back

Been around front, been around back

Mother, you left and made me someone
Now I'm still a child but no one tells me no
Mother
Lookin' for a sound that's gonna drown out the world
Been around front, been around back
I'm lookin' for the father of my two little girls
Been around front, been around back

All is quiet on New Year's day
A world in white gets underway
I want to be with you
Be with you night and day
Nothing changes on New Year's day
On New Year's day
I will be with you again
I will be with you again
Under a blood-red sky
A crowd has gathered in black and white
Arms entwined, a chosen few,
The newspapers says it's true
Say it's true, it's true
And we can break through
Torn in two, we can be one
I will begin again
I will begin again
Lights, turn the lights off
Willie, Bruce, turn the lights
Lights off
Spot lights off
Alright, alright Edge, let's see it
Here she comes
I will be with you again
I will be with you again
I will be with you again
See the stone set in your eyes
See the thorn twist in your side
I wait for you
Slight of hand and a twist of fate
On a bed of nails she makes me wait
And I'm waiting for you
With or without you
With or without you
Through the storm we reach the shore
You give it all but I want more
And I'm waiting for you
With or without you
With or without you
I can't live
With or without you
Yeah, you
And you give yourself away
And you give yourself away
And you give
And you give
And you give yourself away
My hands are tied, my body is bruised
And she got me with nothing left to win
And nothing else to lose
And you give yourself away
And you give yourself away
And you give
And you give
And you give yourself away
With or without you
With or without you
I can't live
With or without you
With or without you
With or without you
I can't live
With or without you
With or without you
Thank you
Thanks for coming out and seeing us play
Good night and God bless you
(feat. Willie Nelson)
My love is cruel as the night
She steals the sun and shuts out the light
All of my colors turn to blue
Win or lose
She does it slow dancing
Slow dancing
She does it slow dancing
Scarlet eyes and a see-through heart
I saw I coming right from the start
She picked me up, but had me down on my knees
Just a-begging her please
Take me slow dancing
Slow dancing
Slow dancing
Well I don't know why a man
Search for himself in his woman's eyes
No, I don't know why a man
Sees the truth but needs the lies
My love is restless as the wind
She moves like a shadow across my skin
She left with my conscience
I don't want it back
It just gets in the way
If you wanna go slow dancing
Slow dancing
Slow
Slow dancing
Slow dancing
Slow
Slow dancing
Slow dancing
Slow
I want to run, I want to hide
I want to tear down the walls that hold me inside
I want to reach out and touch the flame
Where the streets have no name
I want to feel sunlight on my face
See the dust cloud disappear without a trace
I want to take shelter from the poison rain
Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name
We're still building, then burning down love
Burning down love
And when I go there, I go there with you
It's all I can do
The cities a flood and our love turns to rust
We're beaten and blown by the wind, trampled in dust
I'll show you a place high on a desert plain
Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name
We’re still building, then burning down love
Burning down love
And when I go there, I go there with you
It's all I can do
Our love turns to rust
We’re beaten and blown by the wind
Blown by the wind
Oh, see our love, see our love turn to rust
And we’re beaten and blown by the wind
Blown by the wind
When I got there, I go there with you
It’s all I can do
How long to sing this song
What can I give back to God for the blessings he poured out on me
What can I give back to God for the blessings he poured out on me
I lift high the Cup of Salvation as a toast to our Father
To follow through on a promise I made to you from the heart
I want to run, I want to hide
I want to tear down the walls that hold me tonight
I want to reach out and touch the flame
Where the streets have no name
I want to feel sunlight on my face
I see the dust cloud disappear without a trace
I want to dance dance dance in the dirty rain
Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name
Still building, then burning down love
Burning down love
And when I go there I go there with you
It's all I can do
The cities a flood and our love turns to rust
We're beaten and blown by the wind, trampled in dust
I'll show you a place with no sorrow, there's no shame
Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name
Still we're building, then burning down love
Burning down love
And when I go there, I go there with you
It's all I can do
Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name
Still we're building, then burning down love
Burning down love
And when I go there, I go there with you
It's all I can do
It's all we can do
This is all we can do
Don't you know love is the greatest thing that the world has ever known
Love is what everybody loves
We all need just a little love
But I did what I did when love came to town
I was a sailor, I was lost at sea
I was under the waves before love rescued me
I was a fighter, I could turn on a thread
But I stand accused of the things I've said
When love comes to town I'm gonna jump that train
When love comes to town I'm gonna catch that flame
Maybe I was wrong to ever let you down
But I did what I did before love came to town
I used to make love under a red sunset
I was making promises I was soon to forget
She was pale as the lace of her wedding gown
But I left her standing before love came to town
I ran into a juke joint when I heard a guitar scream
The notes were turning blue, I was dazing in a dream
As the music played I saw my life turn around
That was the day before love came to town
When love comes to town I'm gonna jump that train
When love comes to town I'm gonna catch that flame
Maybe I was wrong to ever let you down
But I did what I did before love came to town
When love comes to town I'm gonna jump that train
When love comes to town I'm gonna catch that flame
Maybe I was wrong to ever let you down
But I did what I did before love came to town
I did what I did
I did what I did
I was there when they crucified my Lord
I held the scabbard when the soldier drew his sword
I threw the dice when the pierced his side
But I've seen love conquer the great divide
When love comes to town I'm gonna catch that train
When love comes to town I'm gonna catch that flame
Maybe I was wrong to ever let you down
But I did what I did before love came to town
Thank you madonna
I'm calling you to fire it up
And telling everybody everywhere that love is in town
And it's gonna stay around
And you can always, love can always be found
You got to have it
Don't you need it
Everybody need it, everybody
Everybody need it, everybody
I don't care how much money you got
I don't care how many mansions you live in on the hill
You need love
Gotta gotta gotta get it
Gotta gotta gotta get it
We need love
We need love
We need peace
We need joy
We need hope
We need salvation
Hallelujah, hallelujah
And we got to catch the glory of our own tree
Do the best you can, God understands
He holds the world in the palm of his hands
And I want you to know that
No more fighting in the gangs
No more killing in the streets
No more fighting each other
No more hunger
No more homeless
No more helpless
It ain't the glory
The spirit isn't selfish
(This version features co-lead vocals from BB King and Little Richard)
And if the darkness is to keep us apart
And if the daylight feels like it's a long way off
And if your glass heart should crack
And for one second you turn back
Oh no, be strong
Walk on, walk on
What you got they can't steal it
No, they can't even feel it
Walk on, walk on
Stay safe tonight
You're packing a suitcase for a place none of has been
A place that has to be believed to be seen
You could have flown away
A singing bird in an open cage
Who will only fly, only fly for freedom
Walk on, walk on
What you've got they can't deny it
Can't sell it or buy it
Walk on, walk on
Stay safe tonight
And I know it aches, how your heart it breaks
You can only take so much
Walk on, walk on
Leave it behind
Leave it behind
You’ve got to leave it behind
All that you fashion
All that you make
All that you build
And all that you break
All that you measure
All that you deal
All you count on two fingers
And all that you steal
Halle, halle
Halle, hallelujah
Halle, halle
Halle, hallelujah
Halle, halle
Halle, hallelujah
Halle, halle
Halle, hallelujah
Halle, halle
Halle, hallelujah
Halle, halle
She said it wasn't cold
She left her coat at home that day
She wore canvas shoes
White canvas shoes
Around her neck
She wore a silver necklace
It was given to me by my father, she said
It was given to me
She took the back way home
Passed the lights and the summer hill
Turned left onto the north strand
And on, and towards the sea
He said he was an artist
But he really painted billboards
In large capital letters
Large capital letters
He was telling jokes
Nobody else would listen to him
I saw you that day
Your lips were cherry red
Your legs were crossed
Your arms wide open
Your hair was coloured gold
Like a field of corn
You were blown by the wind
You were blown by the wind
Walk, walk, walk...to the water
Walk with me a while
Walk, walk, walk...to the roadside
Walk me in the light
A room in the wild town
Sea facing views
A man with a suitcase
Full of things he doesn't need
I'm looking through your window
I'm walking through your doorway
I'm on the outside
Let me in
Let me love you
Let me love you
Let me...
Walk, walk, walk...to the water
Walk with me...yeah
Walk, walk, walk...to the roadside
(instrumental)
(instrumental)
Sometimes I feel like I don't know
Sometimes I feel like checkin' out
I want to get it wrong
Can't always be strong
And love it won't be long...
Oh sugar, don't you cry
Oh child, wipe the tears from your eyes
You know I need you to be strong
And the day is as dark as the night is long
Feel like trash, you make me feel clean
I'm in the black, can't see or be seen
Baby, baby, baby...light my way
(alright now)
Baby, baby, baby...light my way
You bury your treasure
Where it can't be found
But your love is like a secret
That's been passed around
There is a silence that comes to a house
Where no one can sleep
I guess it's the price of love
I know it's not cheap
(oh, come on)
Baby, baby, baby...light my way
(oh, come on)
Baby, baby, baby...light my way
Oh...ultraviolet...
Ultraviolet...
Ultraviolet...
Ultraviolet...
Baby, baby, baby...light my way
I remember
When we could sleep on stones
Now we lie together
In whispers and moans
When I was all messed up
And I had opera in my head
Your love was a light bulb
Hanging over my bed
Baby, baby, baby...light my way
(oh, come on)
Baby, baby, baby...light my way
Ultraviolet...
[Repeat 4 times]
Baby, baby, baby...
Baby, baby, baby...
Baby, baby, baby...light my way
[Repeat 3 times]
Baby, baby, baby...light my way
Two shots of happy, one shot of sad
You think I'm no good, well I know I've been bad
Took you to a place, now you can't get back
Two shots of happy, one shot of sad
Walk together down a dead end street
We were mixing the bitter with the sweet
Don't try to figure out what we might have had
Just two shots of happy, one shot of sad
I'm just a singer, some say a sinner
Rollin' the dice, not always a winner
You say I've been lucky, well hell, I made my own
Not part of the crowd but not feeling alone
Under pressure but not bent out of shape
Surrounded, we always found an escape
Drove me to drink but hey, thats not all bad
Two shots of happy, one shot of sad
Guess I've been greedy all of my life
Greedy with my children, my lovers, my wife
Greedy for the good things as well as the bad
Two shots of happy, one shot of sad
Maybe it's just talk, saloon singing
The chairs are all stacked, the swingers stopped swinging
You say I hurt you, you put the finger on yourself
Then after you did it you came crying for my help
Two shots of happy, one shot of sad
I'm not complaining, baby, I'm glad
You call it compromise, well, whats that
Two shots of happy, one shot of sad
Two shots of happy, one shot of sad
Oh, oh my love
Oh my darling
I've hungered for your touch
A long and lonely time
And time goes by
So slowly
And time can do so much
Are you still mine? Oh ho
I need your love
I need your love
I need your love
Godspeed your love to me
Lonely rivers flow
To the sea, to the sea
To the open arms of the sea
Yeah
Lonely rivers sigh
Wait for me, wait for me
I'll be coming home
Wait for me
Oh, oh my love
Oh my darling
I've hungered for your touch
A long and lonely time
And time goes by
So slowly
And time can do so much
Are you still mine?
I need your love
I need your love
I need your love
Godspeed your love to me
It to me
Godspeed your love to me
I need your love
I need your love
I need your love
Or my right from
Fool, nothing
Fool for you
Two hearts beat as one
Two hearts beat as one
I can't stop to dance
Maybe this is my last chance
I said I can't stop to dance
Mybe this is my last chance
Heart heart heart heart
Beat as one
Heart heart heart heart
Beat as one
I don't know
I don't know which side I'm on
I don't know my right from left
Or my right from wrong
They say I'm a fool
They say I'm nothing
But if I'm a fool for you
Oh, that's something
Two hearts beat as one
Heart heart heart heart
Two hearts beat as one
Heart heart heart heart
Beat as one
Two hearts
I don't know how to say
What's got to be said
I don't know if it's black or white
There's others see it red
I don't get the answers right
I'll leave that to you
Is this love out of fashion
Or is it the time of year
Are these words distraction
To the words you wanna hear
Two hearts beat as one
Heart heart heart heart
Beat as one
Two hearts beat as one
Heart heart heart heart
Beat as one
I try to spit it out
Try to explain the way I wanna feel, oh, yeah
Two heart heart heart heart
Beat as one
Well I can't stop the dance
Maybe this is my last chance
I said I can't stop the dance
Maybe this is my last chance
I said don't stop the dance
Maybe this is my last chance
I said I can't stop the dance
Maybe this is our last chance
I said don't stop the dance
Maybe this is our last chance
I like to smile
But I like to mostly stay with you
I like good times
But I can't feel this without you
By my song
The heart is in the place
I sing this song
Probably so
If I could sigh
I'd tell the world I'd felt with you
I like the time
I like the feeling when
I feel you in my arms
I'll take you in my hand
I'll let you go
Somebody save me
Somebody save me
Sing it
Sing my, sing my song
We sing the same old song loud
Smile...though your heart breaks in two
Touch me...when will I be with you
I like good times
But I can feel it's going wrong
You sing the same old song
Now I think it's time to get it right
Sing it out, sing out...
Sing this same old song
If I could swim, I'd swim in circles
If I could drown, I'd, I'd drown with you
If I had enough of my life
I can't tell
If I had enough of you
In the distance
She saw me coming 'round
I was calling out
I was calling out
Still shaking
Still in pain
You put me back together again
I was cold and you clothed me honey
I was down and you lifted me honey
Angel
Angel or devil
I was thirsty
And you wet my lips
You, I'm waiting for you
You, you set my desire
I trip through your wires
I was broken, bent out of shape
I was naked in the clothes you made
Lips were dry, throat like rust
You gave me shelter from the heat and the dust
No more water in the well
No more water, water
Angel
Angel or devil
I was thirsty
And you wet my lips
You, I'm waiting for you
You, You set my desire
I trip through your wires
(All I need...All I need)
Thunder, thunder on the mountain
There's a rain cloud in the desert sky
In the distance she saw me coming 'round
I was calling out
If you twist and turn away
If you tear yourself in two again
If I could you know I would
If I could, I would let it go
Surrender, dislocate
If I could, through myself, set your spirit free
I’d lead your heart astray
Just to see you break
Break away
Into the light
To the rain
Into the light
Out from over the flame
To let it go
So to fade away
To let it go
So fade away
Wide awake
Wide awake
Wide awake
I'm not sleeping
Oh, no
I’m not sleeping
Oh, no no no
If you should ask, well, maybe
They'd tell you what I would say
True colors fly in blue and black
Bruised silken skies and burning flak
Colours crash, collide in blood shot eyes
If I could, you know I would
If I could, I would let it go
This separation
Separation
Isolation
Not revelation
Isolation
Not revelation
Isolation
Let it go
So not fade away
To let it go
So not fade, fade, fade away
Fade away, fade away
Not fade away
No, no
Not fade away
Not my way
I want to know
Not fade away
No, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no
No, no
I'm wide awake
Wide awake
Wide awake
I'm not sleeping
I’m not sleeping
How long to sing this song
How long to sing this song
How long to sing this song
How long to sing this song
How long to sing this song
Love
Shine like a fading sky
She holds one love, the sky
It's no secret that the stars are falling from the sky
It's no secret that I left you and still I don't know why
You say the sun is sometimes eclipsed by a moon
You know I'd come back, baby, if you gave me some room
It's no secret that a friend is someone who lets you help
It's no secret that a liar won't believe anyone else
They say a secret is something
You tell one other person what do you think, child
Love
Shine like a fading sky
She holds one love, the sky
A man will beg, a man will crawl
But it's never too late to take his call
It's no secret at all
It's no secret that a conscience can sometimes be a pest
It's no secret ambition bites the nails of success
Every artist is a cannibal, every poet is a thief
And everyone needs music 'cause everyone needs relief
Love
Live like a shining star
She calls, the sun will burn through this hiding wall
A man will rise, a man will fall
From the sheer face of love like a fly from a wall
It's no secret at all
Love
You shine like a burning star
You're falling from the sky tonight
Love
You shine like a burning star
You're falling from the sky tonight
A man will rise, a man will fall
From the sheer face of love like a fly from a wall
It's no secret at all
It's no secret that the stars are falling from the sky
The universe expolded 'cause one man told a lie
Look, I gotta go, yeah I'm running outta change
There's a lot of things, if I could I'd rearrange
Love
Shine like a fading sky
She holds one love, the sky
Love
Woah, woah...
She's the refugee.
I see your face
I see you staring back at me
Woah, woah...
She's the refugee
Her mama say one day she's gonna
Live in America
In the morning
She is waiting
Waiting for the ship to sail
Sail away
Woah, woah...
Her papa go to war
He gonna fight
But he don't know what for
Woah, woah...
Her papa go to war
Her mama say one day he's gonna
Come back from far away
Help me
How can you help me
In the evening
She is waiting
Waiting for her man to come
And take her by her hand
And take her to this promise land
Woah, woah...
She's a pretty face
But at the wrong time
In the wrong place
Woah, woah...
She's a pretty face
Her mama say one day she's gonna
Live in America
Yeah, America
Woah, woah...
She's a refugee
She's coming back, she's coming
Keep you company
Woah, woah...
She's a refugee
Her mama say one day she's gonna
Can't believe the news today
I can't close my eyes and make it go away
How long, how long must we sing this song
How long, how long
Tonight we can be as one, tonight
Broken bottles under children's feet
Bodies strewn across a dead end street
I won't heed the battle call
It puts my back up, puts my back up against the wall
Sunday bloody Sunday
Sunday bloody Sunday
And the battle's just begun
There's many lost, but tell me who has won
Trenches dug within our hearts
As brothers, sisters torn apart
Sunday bloody Sunday
Sunday bloody Sunday
How long, how long must we sing this song
How long, how long
Tonight we can be as one
Tonight, tonight
Tonight, tonight
Sunday bloody Sunday
Sunday bloody Sunday
Sunday bloody Sunday
Sunday bloody Sunday
Strawberries, cherries and the angel's kisses
my summer wine is really
the morning scene
I walked into town...
I will give to you summer wine
Oh, the city's alight
With lovers and lies
Bright blue eyes
Oh, the city is bright
It's brighter than day tonight
Surrender, Surrender
Surrender, Surrender
Sadie said she couldn't work out
What it was all about
And so she let go
Now Sadie's on the street
And the people she meets you know
She tried to be a good girl and a good wife
Raise a good family
Lead a good life
It's not good enough
She got herself up on the 48th floor
Gotta find out
Find out what she's living for
Surrender, Surrender
Surrender, Surrender
Tonight...
Oh, the city's afire
A passionate flame
It knows me by name
Oh, the city's desire
To take me for more and more
It's in the street, getting under my feet
It's in the air, it's everywhere
My love for you
It's in the things I do and say
If I wanna live I gotta
Die to myself someday
Papa sing my sing my sing my song
I can't believe the news today
Oh, I can't close my eyes and make it go away
How long, how long must we sing this song?
How long? How long?
'Cause tonight we can be as one, tonight
Broken bottles under children's feet
Bodies strewn across the dead end streets
But I won't heed the battle call
It puts my back up, puts my back up against the wall
Sunday, Bloody Sunday
Sunday, Bloody Sunday
Sunday, Bloody Sunday
And the battle's just begun
There's many lost but tell me who has won
The trench is dug within our hearts
And mothers, children, brothers, sisters torn apart
Sunday, Bloody Sunday
Sunday, Bloody Sunday
How long, how long must we sing this song?
How long? How long?
'Cause tonight we can be as one
Tonight, tonight
Sunday, Bloody Sunday
Sunday, Bloody Sunday
Wipe the tears from your eyes
Wipe your tears away
Oh, wipe your tears away
Oh, wipe your tears away
Oh, wipe your blood shot eyes
Sunday, Bloody Sunday
Sunday, Bloody Sunday
And it's true we are immune when fact is fiction and TV reality
And today the millions cry
We eat and drink while tomorrow they die
The real battle just begun to claim the victory Jesus won on
Sunday Bloody Sunday
When you stop seeing beauty you start growing old
The lines on your face are a map to your soul
When you stop taking chances
you'll stay where you sit
You won't live any longer but it'll feel like it
I lost myself in the summer rain
I lost myself
I lost myself in the summer rain
In the summer rain
Tequila and orange, Jamaica and rum
At the Morella, honey on my tongue
In a small boat on a generous sea
You let me be your enemy
Tiny hand with a grip on the world
Holding our breath now, diving for pearls
I lost myself in the summer rain
I lost myself
I lost myself in the summer rain
Just as you find me always I will be
A little bit too free with myself
Just as you find me always I will be
A little bit too free with myself
I lost myself in the summer rain
I lost myself
Now there's no one else in the summer rain
Raining down
Raining down
Rain
Raining down
Raining down
Just as you find me always I will be
A little bit too free with myself
Just as you find me always I will be
A little bit too free with myself
It's not why you're running
It's where you're going
It's not what you're dreaming
But what you're gonna do
It's not where you're born
It's where you belong
It's not how weak
But what will make you strong
I try to sing this song
I...I try to stand up
But I can't find my feet
I try, I try to speak up
But only in you I'm complete
Gloria...in te domine
Gloria...exultate
Gloria...Gloria
Oh Lord, loosen my lips
I try to sing this song
I...I try to get in
But I can't find the door
The door is open
You're standing there
You let me in
Gloria...in te domine
Gloria...exultate
Oh Lord, if I had anything
Anything at all
I'd give it to you
I'd give it to you
I'm not afraid of anything in this world
There's nothing you can throw at me
That I haven't already heard
I'm just trying to find a decent melody
A song that I can sing in my own company
You've got to get yourself together
You've got stuck in a moment and you can't get out of
Don't say that later will be better
Now you're stuck in a moment and you can't get out of it
I will not forsake the colours that you bring
But the nights you filled with fireworks
They left you with nothing
I am still enchanted by the light you brought to me
I still listen through your ears
And through your eyes I can see
And you are such a fool to worry like you do
I know it's tough and you can never get enough
Of what you don't really need now, my oh my
You've got to get yourself together
You've got stuck in a moment and now you can't get out of it
Oh love, look at you now
You've got yourself stuck in a moment and you can't get out of it
I was unconcious, half asleep
The water is warm till you discover how deep
I wasn't jumping, for me it was a fall
It's a long way down to nothing at all
You've got to get yourself together
You've got stuck in a moment and you can't get out of it
Don't say that later will be better
Now you're stuck in a moment and you can't get out of it
And if the night runs over and if the day won't last
And if your way should falter along the stony pass
It's just a moment, this time will pass
There’s a place
It takes me far away
There’s a TV show where I can grow
Sometimes a hero takes me
Sometimes I don’t want to know
Hello, hello
There’s a picture book with coloured photographs
There’s a comic strip that makes me laugh
Sometimes the lady takes me
Sometimes I don’t let go
Hello, hello

It takes me far away
There’s a TV show where I can grow
Sometimes a hero takes me
Sometimes I don’t let go

Right, what we'd like to do now is go live from Toronto to London, to the Secret Policeman's Ball, which is a mysterious and extraordinary event that certainly changed my life when I was...I dunno...changable. I still am. This is Stay.
Green light, 7-Eleven
You stop in for a pack of cigarettes
You don't smoke, don't even want
Hey now, I see you check your change
Dressed up like a car crash
The wheels are turning but you're upside down
You say when he hits you you don't mind
Because when he hurts you you feel alive
Oh now, is that what it is
Red lights, grey morning
You stumble out of a hole in the ground
A vampire or a victim
It depends on who's around
You used to stay in to watch the adverts
You could lip-synch to the talk show hosts
And if you look, you look through me
And when if you talk it's not to me
And if I touch you, you don't feel a thing
If I could stay, then the night would give you up
Stay and the day would keep its trust
If I could stay, then the night would be enough
Faraway, so close up with the static and the radio waves
With satellite television you can go anywhere
Miami, New Orleans, London, Belfast from Toronto
And if you listen I can't call
And if you jump, you just might fall
And if you shout, I'll only hear you
If I could stay then the night would give you up
Stay then the day would keep its trust
Stay with the spirit I found
Stay with the demons you drowned
Stay and the night would be enough
Three o'clock in the morning
It's quiet and there's no one around
Just the bang and the clatter as an angel runs to ground
Just the bang and the clatter as an angel hits the ground
Thank you
Summer stretching on the grass
Summer dresses pass
In the shade of a willow tree
Creeps a crawling over me
Over me and over you
Stuck together with God's glue
It's gonna get stickier too
It's been a long, hot summer
Let's get under cover
Don't try too hard to think
Don't think at all
You're not the only one staring at the sun
Afraid of what you'd find
If you step back inside
Not just deaf and dumb
Staring at the sun
I'm not the only one who's happy to go blind
There's an insect in your ear
If you scratch it won't disappear
It's gonna itch and burn and sting
You wanna see what the scratcing brings
Waves that leave me out of reach
Breaking on your back like a beach
Will we ever live in peace
'Cause those that can't do often have to
No, those that can't do often have to preach
To the ones staring at the sun
Afraid of what you'd find
If you step back inside
Not just deaf and dumb
Staring at the sun
I'm not the only one who's happy to go blind
Intransigence is all around
Military still in town
Armour plated suits and ties
Daddy just won't say goodbye
Referee won't blow the whistle
God is good but will he listen
I'm nearly great but there's something missing
I left it in the duty free
Oh she calls
She never really belonged to me
You're not the only one starin' at the sun
Afraid of what you'd find
If you stepped back inside
Not sucking on my thumb
Staring at the sun
Not the only one who's happy to go blind
Happy to go blind
Happy to go blind
Happy to go blind
Happy to go
Happy to go
Happy to go blind
Happy to go blind
Happy to go blind
Happy to go blind
I'm happy to go
Happy to go
Happy to go blind

Not just deaf and dumb
Staring at the sun
Not the only one who's happy to go blind
Mexico, Mexico, Mexico
Intransigence is all around
The military still in town
Armour plated suits and ties
Daddy just won't say goodbye

Some days are dry, some days are leaky
Some days come clean, other days are sneaky
Some days take less, but most days take more
Some slip through your fingers and onto the floor
Some days you're quick, but most days you're speedy
Some days you use more force than is necessary
Some days just drop in on us
Some days are better than others
Some days it all adds up
And what you got is not enough
Some days are better than others
Some days are slippy, other days sloppy
Some days you can't stand the sight of a puppy
Your skin is white but you think you're a brother
Some days are better than others
Some days you wake up with her complaining
Some sunny days you wish it was raining
Some days are sulky, some days have a grin
And some days have bouncers and won't let you in
Some days you hear a voice
Taking you to another place
Some days are better than others
Some days are honest, some days are not
Some days you're thankful for what you've got
Some days you wake up in the army
And some days it's the enemy
Some days are work, most days you're lazy
Some days you feel like a bit of a baby
Lookin' for Jesus and His mother
Some days are better than others
Some days you feel ahead
You're making sense of what she said
Some days are better than others
Some days you hear a voice
Taking you to another place
In the shit house a shotgun
Praying hands hold me down
Only the hunter was hunted
In this tin can town
Tin can town
No stars in the black night
Looks like the sky fell down
No sun in the daylight
Looks like it's chained to the ground
Chained to the ground
The warden said
The exit is sold
If you want a way out
Silver and gold
Broken back to the ceiling
Broken nose to the floor
I scream at the silence, it's crawling
It crawls under the door
There's a rope around my neck
And there's a trigger in your gun
Jesus say something
I am someone, I am someone
I am someone
Captain and kings
In the ships hold
They came to collect
Silver and gold
Silver and gold
Seen the coming and going
Seen them captains and the kings
See them navy blue uniforms
See them bright and shiny things
Bright shiny things
The temperature is rising
The fever white hot
Mister, I ain't got nothing
But it's more than you got
Chains no longer bind me
Not the shackles at my feet
Outside are the prisoners
Inside the free
Set them free
Set them free
A prize fighter in a corner is told
Hit where it hurts
Silver and gold
Race against time
Race against time
One man come in the name of love,
One man come and go.
One come here to justify,
One man to overthrow,
In the name of love,
What more in the name of love.
One man crawled on a barb wire fence,
One man he resist.
One man washed on an empty beach.
One man betrayed with a kiss.
In the name of love,
What more in the name of love.
Early morning, April 4.
A shot rings out in the Memphis sky.
Free at last, they took your life,
But they could not take your pride.
In the name of love,
What more in the name of love.
Heaven on Earth
We need it now
I'm sick of all of this
Hanging around
Sick of sorrow
I'm sick of the pain
I'm sick of hearing
Again and again
That there's gonna be
Peace on Earth
Where I grew up
There weren't many trees
Where there was we'd tear them down
And use them on our enemies
They say that what you mock
Will surely overtake you
And you become a monster
So the monster will not break you
And it's already gone too far
You said that if you go in hard
You won't get hurt
Jesus can you take the time
To throw a drowning man a line
Peace on Earth
Tell the ones who hear no sound
Whose sons are living in the ground
Peace on Earth
No who's or why's
No one cries like a mother cries
For peace on Earth
She never got to say goodbye
To see the color in his eyes
Now he's in the dirt
Peace on Earth
They're reading names out
Over the radio
All the folks the rest of us
Won't get to know
Sean and Julia
Gareth, Anne, and Breeda
Their lives are bigger than
Any big idea
Jesus can you take the time
To throw a drowning man a line
Peace on Earth
To tell the ones who hear no sound
Whose sons are living in the ground
Peace on Earth
Jesus in the song you wrote
The words are sticking in my throat
Peace on Earth
Hear it every Christmas time
But hope and history won't rhyme
So what's it worth
This peace on Earth
Peace on Earth
Peace on Earth
Please stop fighting, please
Let's talk, please
So you never knew love
Until you'd crossed the line of grace
And you never felt wanted
Till you'd someone slap your face
And you never felt alive
Until you'd almost wasted away
You had to win, you couldn't just pass
The smartest ass at the top of the class
Your flying colours, your family tree
And all your lessons in history
Please, please, please
Get up off your knees now
Please, please, please
Leave it out
So you never knew how low you'd stoop
To make that call
And you never knew what was on the ground
Until they made you crawl
So you never knew that the heaven you keep
You stole
Your Catholic blues, your convent shoes
Your stick-on tattoos, now they're making the news
Your holy war, your northern star
Your sermon on the mount from the boot of your car
Please, please, please
Get up off your knees now
Please, please, please
Leave it out
'Cause love is big and love is tough
But love is not what you're thinking of
September, streets capsizing
Spilling over and down the drain
Shards of glass, splinters like rain
But you could only feel your own pain
October, talk getting nowhere
November, December
Remember, are we just starting again
Please, please, please
Get up off your knees now
Please, please
'Cause love is big, it's bigger than us
But love is not what you're thinking of
It's what lovers deal, it's what lovers steal
You know I found it hard to recieve
'Cause you, my love, I could never believe
Please, please, please
Get up off your knees now
Please, please, please
Please, please, please
Please
Wow, after I jumped, it occured to me: life is perfect. Life is the best, full of magic and beauty, opportunity and television, and surprises, lots of surprises, yeah.
And then there's the best stuff, of course, better than anything anyone ever made up 'cause it's real.
You take a stranger by the hand
A man who doesn't understand his wildest dreams
You walk across the dirty sand
And offer him an ocean of what he's never seen
Maybe I was blind
Or I might have closed my eyes
Maybe I was dumb
But what forgot to say
If you didn't know
Is never let me go
Never let me go
Never let me go
Never let me go
You run from love and don't believe
Unless it catches you by the heel
And even then, you struggle
From red island across the strand
Your footprints still there in the sand
Everything else washed away
I may not be alone
Or I may have found my home
I may have lost my way
But what I forgot to say
If you didn't know
Is never let me go
Never let me go
Never let me go
Monday morning
Eighteen years of dawning
I said how long
I said how long
It was one dull morning
I woke the world with bawling
I was so sad
They were so glad
I was of the feeling
It was out of control
I had a crazy notion
It was out of control
Oh oh oh
Boys and girls
Go to school, and girls
They make children
Not like this one
I was of the feeling
It was out of control
I had a crazy notion
It was out of control
Oh oh oh
Oh yeah, I was of the feeling
It was out of control
I had a crazy notion
It was out of control
Oh oh oh
I’m out of control
I’m out of control
I fought fate
And bled at the garden gate
The man said childhood
It's in his childhood
Some day I'll die
The choice will not be mine
Will it be too late
You can't fight fate
I was of the feeling
It was out of control
I had a crazy notion
It was out of control
Oh oh oh
Neon lights
Shimmering neon lights
And at the fall of night
This city's made of lights
Neon lights
Shimmering neon lights
And at the fall of night
This city's made of lights
[Random syllables sung off melody]
(Shut that fool up)
(Shut up)
Neon lights
Shimmering neon lights
And at the fall of night
This city's made of lights
Neon lights
Shimmering neon lights
And at the fall of night
This city's made of lights
Baby slow down
The end is not as fun as the start
Please stay a child somewhere in your heart
I'll give you everything you want
Except the thing that you want
You are the first one of your kind
And you feel like no-one before
You steal right under my door
And I kneel 'cause I want you some more
I want the lot of what you got
And I want nothing that you're not
Everywhere you go you shout it
You don't have to be shy about it
Some things you shouldn't get too good at
Like smiling, crying and celebrity
Some people got way too much confidence baby, yeah babe
I'll give you everything you want
Except the thing that you want
You are the first one of your kind
And you feel like no-one before
You steal right under my door
I kneel 'cause I want you some more
I want the lot of what you got
And I want nothing that you're not
Everywhere you go, you shout it
You don't have to be shy about it, no
Oh no
Oh no
Come on now show your soul
You've been keeping your love under control
Everywhere you go you shout it
You don't have to be shy about it
Everywhere you go, you shout it
Oh my my
And you feel like no-one before
You steal right under my door
I kneel 'cause I want you some more
I want you some more
I want you some more
Oh no
Oh no
Oh no
Is it getting better
Or do you feel the same
Will it make it easier on you
Now you got someone to blame
You say one love, one life
When it's one need in the night
One love
We get to share it
It leaves you baby
If you don't care for it
Did I disappoint you
Leave a bad taste in your mouth
You act like you never had love
You want me to go without
Is it too late tonight
To drag the past out into the light
We're one but we're not the same
We get to carry each other, carry each other
Have you come here for forgiveness
Have you come to raise the dead
Have you come here to play Jesus
To the lepers in your bed
Did I ask too much
More than a lot
You gave me nothing
Now it's all I've got
We're one but we're not the same
Well, we hurt each other
Then we do it again
You say love is a temple
Love a higher law
Love is a temple
Love the higher law
You ask me to enter
Then you make me crawl
And I can't be holding on
To what you've got
When all you got is hurt
One love, one blood, one life
You got to do what you should
One life with each other
Sisters, brothers
One life but we're not the same
We get to carry each other, carry each other
Do you hear me coming, Lord
Do you hear me call
Hear me knocking, knocking at your door
You hear me coming, Lord
You hear me call
Feel me scratching, will you make me crawl
Thank you
Brian Eno, The Edge, Micheal, Anton, Craig Armstrong
Thank you
It's alright, it's alright, alright
This one goes out to a mate of ours
Great mate, great singer
We're sorry, we're sorry
For Micheal Hutchence
Is it getting better
Or do you feel the same
Will it make it easier on you
Now you've got someone to blame
You say one love, one life
It's one need in the night
One love
You get to share it
It leaves you baby
If you don't care for it
Did I disappoint you
Or leave a bad taste in your mouth
You act like you never had love
And you want me to go without
Is it too late tonight
To drag the past out into the light
We're one but we're not the same
We get to carry each other, carry each other
Have you come here for forgiveness
But I can't raise the dead
I come here to play Jesus
To the lepers in my head
Did I ask too much
More than a lot
You gave me nothing
Now it's all I got
We're one but we're not the same
We get to hurt each other
Then we do it again
And you say love is a temple
Love a higher law
Love is a temple
Love a higher law
You ask me to enter
But you made me crawl
I can't be holding on to what you got
When all you got is hurt
One love, one blood, one life
You get to do what you should
One life with each other
Follow my sister, you're my brother
One life but we're not the same
We carry each other, carry each other
One love
Do you hear us coming, Lord
Do you hear us call
You me knocking, knocking at your door
You hear me calling
You hear him call
You hear him scratching
Did you make him crawl
Thank you, good night, God bless you
Buenos noches
The tom-tom when the jungle shadows fall
Like the tick tick tock of the eye of the clock
You're standing up against the wall
Like the drip drip drip of the raindrops
When the summer shower's through
So a voice within me keeps repeating you you
Night and day you are the one
Only you beneath the moon and under the sun
Whether near to me or far
It's no matter, baby, where you are
I think of you night and day
Day and night, why is it so
That this longing for you follows wherever I go
In the roaring traffic boom
In the silence of my lonely room
I think of you, night and day
Night and day under the hide of me
There's an, oh, such a hungry yearning
Burning inside of me
And its torment won't be through
Till you let me spend my life making love to you
Day and night, night and day
Night and day
Night and day under the hide of me
Oh such a hungry yearning burning
Burning inside of me
And this torment won't be through
Till you let me spend my life making love to you
Day and night, night and day
Night and day, night and day
Night and day
Night, night, night and day
Night, night, night and day
Night and day, night
Night and day, night and day
I'm in love with you
I'm in love with you
How I miss you baby
Sing it
Night and day
In New York freedom looks like
Too many choices
In New York I found a friend
To drown out the other voices
Voices on a cell phone
Voices from home
Voices of the hard sell
Voices down the stairwell
In New York, just got a place in New York
In New York summers get hot
Well into the hundreds
You can’t walk around the block without a changes of clothing
Hot as a hair-dryer in your face
Hot as a handbag and a can of mace
New York, just got a place in New York
New York
New York
In New York you can forget, forget how to sit still
Tell yourself you will stay in but it’s down to Alphaville
New York
New York, New York
New York
New York, New York
The Irish been coming here
Feel like they own the place
They got the airport, city hall, concrete, asphalt

New York

In New York I lost it all
To you and your vices

New York

When the crowd has had its day
I heard you whisper
Come away child
To New York, soul
Said New York, New York
Sing
Johnny, take a walk with your sister the moon
Let her pale light in to fill up your room
You've been living underground, eating from a can
You've been running away from what you don't understand, love
She's slippy, you're sliding down
She'll be there when you hit the ground
She moves in mysterious ways
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
She moves in mysterious ways
Johnny, take a dive with your sister in the rain
Let her talk about the things you can't explain
To touch is to heal, to hurt is to steal
If you want to kiss the sky, better learn how to kneel
On your knees, boy
She wants you, you don't know why
She sees the man inside the child
It's alright, it's alright, alright
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
She moves in mysterious ways
Love, love
Lift my days, light up my nights, love
One day you'll look back, and you'll see
Where you were held
How by this love while you could stand there
You could move on this moment
Follow this feeling
She moves in mysterious ways
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
She moves in mysterious ways
Love, love, love, love
Move me spirit
Sprit move me
Makin' love
Move me
Makin' love
Move me
Make love
Spirit moves with it
She moves with it
Lift my days, light up my nights, love
Alright, alright
She moves in mysterious ways
She wants you, you don't know why

Johnny, take a dive with your sister in the rain
Let her talk about the things you can't explain
To touch is to heal, to hurt is to steal
If you want to kiss the sky, better learn how to kneel
On your knees, boy
She's slippy, you're sliding down
She'll be there when you hit the ground
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
She moves in mysterious ways
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
She moves in mysterious ways
Johnny, take a dive with your sister in the rain
Let her talk about the things you can't explain
To touch is to heal, to hurt is to steal
If you want to kiss the sky, better learn how to kneel
On your knees, boy
She wants you, you don't know why
She sees the man inside the child
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
She moves in mysterious ways
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
She moves in mysterious ways
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
Lift my days, light up my nights, love
Oh love
Move me
Makin' love
Move me
Make love
Lift my days, light up my nights, love
Johnny, take a walk with your sister the moon
Let her pale light in to fill up your room
You've been living underground, eating from a can
You've been running away from what you don't understand, love
She's slippy, you're sliding down
She'll be there when you hit the ground
She moves in mysterious ways
Johnny, take a dive with your sister in the rain
Let her talk about the things you can't explain
To touch is to heal, to hurt is to steal
If you want to kiss the sky, better learn how to kneel
On your knees, boy
She wants you, you don't know why
She sees the man inside the child
It's alright, it's alright, alright
She moves in mysterious ways
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
She moves in mysterious ways
Love
Lift my days, light up my nights, love
One day you'll look back, and you'll see
Where you were held
How by this love while you could stand there
You could move on this moment
Follow this feeling
She moves in mysterious ways
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
We move through miracle days
Spirit moves in mysterious ways
Love, love
Spirit moves with it
She moves with it
Lift my days, light up my nights, love
Is there a time for keeping your distance
A time to turn your eyes away
Is there a time for keeping your head down
For getting on with the day
Is there a time for kohl and lipstick
A time for cutting hair
Is there a time for high street shopping
To find the right dress to wear
Here she comes
Heads turn around
Here she comes
To take her crown
Is there a time to run for cover
A time for kiss and tell
Is there a time for different colours
Different names you find it hard to spell
Is there a time for first communion
A time for East 17
Is there a time to turn to Mecca
Is there a time to be a beauty queen
Here she comes
Beauty plays the clown
Here she comes
Surreal in her crown
Dici che il fiume trova la via al mare
E come il fiume giungerai a me
Oltre i confini e le terre assetate
Dici che come fiume
Come fiume l'amore giungera
L'amore e non so piu pregare
E nell'amore non so piu sperare
E quell'amore non so piu aspettare
Is there a time for tying ribbons
A time for Christmas trees
Is there a time for laying tables
And the night is set to freeze
English translation of the Italian lyrics:
You say that as a river finds its way to the sea
And as the river you'll find your way back to me
Beyond the borders and the thirsty lands
You say that as the river
As the river, you say that love will find a way
But love, I'm not a praying man
And in love I can't believe anymore
And for love I can't wait anymore
Oh yeah, shout out, I will follow
I was on the outside when you said
You said you needed me
I was looking at myself
I was blind and I could not see
A boy tries hard to be a man
His lover takes him by his hand
He stops to think and always wonders why
If you walk away walk away
I walk away walk away
I will follow
If you walk away walk away
I walk away walk away
I will follow
I was on the inside
When they pulled the whole world down
I was cast in amazing grace
I was lost but I am found
If you walk away walk away
I walk away walk away
I will follow
If you walk away walk away
I walk away walk away
I will follow
Your eyes make a circle
I see you when I go in here
If you walk away walk away
I walk away walk away
I will follow
If you walk away walk away
I walk away walk away
I will follow
I will follow
I will follow
I will follow
I will, I will, I will, I will
Midnight, our sons and daughters
Were cut down and taken from us
Hear their heartbeat
We hear their heartbeat
In the wind we hear their laughter
In the rain we see their tears
Hear their heartbeat
We hear their heartbeat
Night hangs like a prisoner
Stretched over, black and blue
Hear their heartbeat
We hear their heartbeat
In the trees our sons stand naked
Through the walls our daughters cry
Nothing worth taking so I never really took
Nothing was shaking but baby you really shook
No one was waking until you kept me up
If your heart was breaking you know I won't see you stuck
The pain never felt so good
To feel so bad
I love you
I love you like mad
I love you
I love you like mad
No one worth knowing has ever known a thing
No one who knew how could ever teach the world to sing
You are the only one I've ever listened to
So don't wait for me to ask tell me what to do
The pain never felt so good
To feel so bad
I love you
I love you like mad
Love you
I love you like mad
I Love
I Love you like mad
Don't worry baby if you're in the spotlight
I'll do the maximum time for you tonight
You know that we're not crazy
Well maybe just a touch
Some sweet delight usher you rush
And some gets us close too much
I love you
I love you like mad
Love you
I love you like mad
Love you
Love you like mad
Love you
Love you like mad
Hey hey
Love you love you like mad
Love you love you like mad
Love you love you like mad
Love you love you like mad
Love you love you like mad
Love rescue me, come forth and speak to me
Raise me up and don't let me fall
No man is my enemy, my own hands imprison me
Love rescue me
Many strangers have I met on the road to my regret
Many lost who seek to find themselves in me
They ask me to reveal the very thoughts they would conceal
Love rescue me
And the sun in the sky makes a shadow of you and I
Stretching out as the sun sinks in the sea
I'm here without a name in the palace of my shame
I say love rescue me
Ziggy Marley
We've conquered my past, the future is here at last
We stand at the entrance to a new world we can see
The ruins to my right will soon have lost sight of me
I said love rescue me
Yea though I walk through the valley of the shadow
Yet I will fear no evil
I have cursed thy rod and staff, they no longer comfort me
Love rescue me
Sing sha la la
Sha la la la
Sha la la la
Sha la la la
Sha la la la
Sha la la la
Sha la la la
Sha la la la
Sha la la la
Sha la la la
Sha la la la
Sha la la la
Sha la la la
I said love rescue me
I said love
I'm on a mountain, save me love
I said love
Of the life of me
Yeah, I'm here without a name in the palace of my shame
I said love rescue me
Oh yeah, oh yeah
The palace of my shame
I said love rescue me
Goodnight, God bless you
(U2 performed this song with Ziggy Marley and the Wailers)
Love don't need to find a way
You find your own way
I forget that I can't stay
And so I say that
All roads lead to where you are
All roads lead to where you are
The seed is spilled, the bed defiled
For you, a virgin bride
Hide yourself in someone else
Don't find yourself in me
I can't lift you up again
Love comes tumbling down again
Love don't need to find a way
You find your own way
I forget that you can stay
And so I say that
All roads lead to where you are
All roads lead to where you are
I threw a brick
I threw a brick through a window
Threw a brick through a window
I was talking, I was talking to myself
Somebody else talk, talk, talking
I couldn't hear a word, a word he said
He was my brother, brother, brother
I said there was no other way out of here
Be my brother, brother, brother
I got to get out, got to get out
Out of here, yeah
I was walking, I was walking into walls and back again
I just keep walking
I walk up to a window to see myself and my reflection
When I thought about it
My direction going nowhere, nowhere
Anywhere’s better than this
Sing it yourself
No one
No one is blinder than he who will not see
Sing it
No one
No one is blinder than me, me
Show me, help me
Talk, talk, talking
I'm talking to you, it's up to you
Be my brother, brother
‘Cause there is no other way out of here
Be my brother, brother, brother
Got to get out
Got to get out
Got to get out
Thank you
Alright
Lemon, see through in the sunlight
She wore lemon but never in the daylight
She’s gonna make you cry
She’s gonna make you whisper and moan
When you’re dry she draws her water from the stone
And I feel like I’m slowly, slowly, slowly slipping under
And I feel like I’m holding onto nothing
She wore lemon to colour in the cold, grey night
She had heaven and she held on so tight
A man makes a picture, a moving picture
Through light projected he can see himself up close
A man captures colour, a man likes to stare
He turns his money into light to look for her
And I feel like I’m drifting, drifting, drifting from the shore
And I feel like I’m swimming out to her
Midnight is where the day begins
A man builds a city with banks and cathedrals
A man melts the sands so he can see the world outside
You’re gonna meet her there
A man makes a car
She’s your destination
And builds a road to run them on
You gotta get to her
A man dreams of leaving
She’s imagination
But he always stays behind
And these are the days when our work has come asunder
And these are the days when we look for something other
Midnight is where the day begins
Midnight is where the day begins
Midnight is where the day begins
And these are the days when our work has come asunder
And these are the days when we look to each other
Lemon

Hola, hola Mexico
Como estan
Bien
How did we get here, how'd you get here
I went looking, there's so much to see
I went looking
I went looking for spirit, found alcohol
I went looking for soul, I bought some style
I wanted to meet God but you sold me religion
She feels the ground is giving way
But she thinks we're better off that way
The more you take the less you feel
The more you know the less you believe
The more you have, the more it takes today
You got to give it away
You got to give it away
You got to give it away
You got to give it away
You got to give it away
You got to give it away
She knows just what she's worth
Still she's living like it's the last night on earth
Last night on earth
She's not waiting on a savior to come
She's at the bus stop with the News Of The World
And the Sun, sun, here it comes
She's not waiting for anyone
You got to give it away
You got to give it away
You got to give it away
You got to give it away
You got to give it away
You got to give it away
She knows just what she's worth
She's spinning like it's the last night on earth
The last night on earth
Oh child, oh child
It's not the last night on earth
It's Poplife Mexico
It's not the last night on earth
Slipping away, slip slide
Darling, don't you let me go
Mexico Mexico Mexico City
How did you get so hight
It's not the last night on earth
Darling, stay with me tonight
'Cause the world turns and we get dizzy
Is it spinning for you the way it's spinning for me
Sometimes we're slipping away
We're living, living next week now
You know we're going to pay it back somehow
We haven't been to bed in a week
We'll be dead soon, we still won't sleep
You got to give it away
You got to give it away
You got to give it away
You got to give it away
You got to give it away
You got to give it away
C'mon, she knows that it hurts
Living like it's the last night on earth
The last night on earth
The last night on earth
I wanna sing this for Joey Ramone
I remember lying awake at night
And thinking just of you
But things don't last forever
Baby, they never really do
They never really do
I remember you
I remember you
I remember lying awake at night
And thinking just of you
But things don't last forever
Somehow baby, they never really do
They never really do
I remember you
I remember you
I remember you
I remember you
Here she comes, lady luck again
Figure of eight, six and nine again
My lady with the spinning head
Whatever the deal she won't let me down
Wherever I go she's always hanging round
My lady with the spinning head
Lady with the spinning head
Lady with the spinning head
Oh yeah
She's been gone but I knew she'd be back
She's got the rent, she put me in the black
The lady with the spinning head
If I ever let go, she’d cure my blues
She’s the one in the Chinese shoes
Lady with the spinning head
I’m on top when she’s around
She’s my ticket out of town
Lady with the spinning head
Lady with the spinning head
Lady with the spinning head
Lady with the spinning head
Lady with the spinning head
Here she comes, lady luck again
Figures
Here she comes
Figure of eight, six and nine again
Johnny Swallow
Stop watching
I take you by the hand
Stop inside
Paul and me
We walk by
Walking silent
I saw
It was burning
Village
On fire
Was a village on fire
In the ocean
Cut, swim, deep the sky
Like there, I don't know why
In the forest, there's a clearing
I run there towards the light
Sky...
It's a blue sky
In the earth a hole dig deep, decide
If I could, I would
Up for air to swim against the tide
Hey, hey, hey
Up toward the sky
It's a blue sky
To lose along the way
The spark that set the flame
To flicker and to fade
On this the longest day
So wind blow through to my heart
So wind blow through my soul
So wind blow through to my heart
So wind blow through my soul
So wind blow through to my heart...
You give yourself to this the longest day
You give yourself, you give it all away
Two rivers run too deep
The seasons change and so do I
The light that strikes the tallest trees
Will light a way for I
Will light a way
Up toward the sky
It's a blue sky
To lose along the way
The spark that set the flame
To flicker and to fade
On this the longest day
So wind go through to my heart
So wind blow through my soul
So wind go through to my heart
So wind blow through my soul
So wind go through to my heart
So wind blow through my soul
So wind go through to my heart...
You give yourself to this the longest day
Julie says
John I'm getting nowhere
I wrote this letter
Hope to get to someplace soon
I want to get up
When I wake up
But when I get up
I fall down
Julie wake up
Julie tell the story
You wrote the letter
Said you were gonna get there someday
Gonna walk in the sun
And the wind and the rain
Never walk back again
Now you fall down
You're falling down
You fall down
You fall down
Julie say something
Julie say you're sorry
You're gonna get better
You better not leave me here anyway
I want to get up
When you wake up
When I get up
I fall down
When I'm falling down
I fall down
I broke myself
I fall
I fall down
I'm falling down
I fall down
When you fall down
When I'm falling down
Is when you're falling down
When you fall down
I fall down
Nobody else here baby
No one here to blame
No one to point the finger
It's just you and me and the rain
It's the blind leading the blond
It's the stuff, it's the stuff of country songs
Hey if God will send his angels
And if God will send a sign
And if God will send his angels
Would everything be alright
God has got his phone off the hook, babe
Would he even pick up if he could
It's been a while since we saw that child
Hanging 'round this neighbourhood
You see his mother dealing in a doorway
See Father Christmas with a begging bowl
Jesus sister's eyes are a blister
The High Street never looked so low
It's the blind leading the blond
It's the cops collecting for the cons
If God will send his angels
And if God will send a sign
And if God will send his angels
Where do we go
Where do we go
Jesus never let me down
You know Jesus used to show me the score
Then they put Jesus in show business
Now it's hard to get in the door
It's the stuff, it's the stuff of country songs
But I guess it was something to go on
So where is the hope and where is the faith
And the love, what's that you say to me
Does love light up your Christmas Tree
The next minute you're blowing a fuse
And the cartoon network turns into the news
If God will send his angels
I sure could use them here right now
Well if God would send his angels
And I don't have to know how
Where do we go
And I don't need to know why
And I don't want to promise
Where do we go
And I don't want to lie
I just know that I need to
Where do we go
Tonight
Slowly, some night by your door
You take my hand by your door
Nobody else here baby
Nobody else here to blame
No one to point the finger
It's just you and me and the rain
Nobody made you do it
No one put words in my mouth
No one here taking orders
When love took a train leading south
It's the blind leading the blond
It's the stuff, it's the stuff of country songs
Hey if God will send his angels
And if God will send a sign
And if God will send his angels
Would everything be alright
God has got his phone off the hook, babe
Would he even pick up if he could
It's been a while since we saw that child
Hanging 'round this neighbourhood
You see his mother dealing in a doorway
See Father Christmas with a begging bowl
Jesus sister's eyes are a blister
The high street never looked so low
It's the blind leading the blond
It's the cops collecting for the cons
If God will send his angels
And if God will send a sign
Well if God will send his angels
Would that make it alright
Where do we go
Where did you go
Where do we go
Jesus never let me down
You know Jesus used to show me the score
Then they put Jesus in show business
Now it's hard to get in the door, angel
It's the stuff, it's the stuff of country songs
But I guess that it's something to go on
So where is the hope and where is the faith
And the love, what's that you say to me
Does love light up your Christmas tree
The next minute you're blowing a fuse
And the cartoon network turns into the news
If God will send his angels
I sure could use them here right now
Well if God would send his angels
And I don't have to know how
Where do we go
Where did you go
And I don't need to know why
And I don't want to promise
Where do we go
Where did you go
And I don't want to lie
I just know that I need to
Where do we go
Where did you go
Tonight
Love
Slowly, some night by your door
You take my hand by your door
Slowly, some night by your door
If you walk away, I will follow
I was on the outside when you said
You said you needed me
I was looking at myself
I was blind, I could not see
A boy tries hard to be a man
His lover takes him by his hand
He stops to think and always wonders why
If you walk away walk away
I walk away I walk away
I will follow
If you walk away walk away
I walk away I walk away
I will follow
I was on the inside
When they pulled the four walls down
You took the soul of me, put a hole in me
You should have stayed, lived your life
If you walk away walk away
I walk away I walk away
I will follow
If you walk away walk away
I walk away I walk away
I will follow
Arriba
If you walk away walk away
Walk away walk away
Walk away walk away
Walk away walk away
Walk away walk away
Walk away walk away
Walk away walk away
Walk away walk away
Walk away
Don't walk away
Don't walk away
Don't walk away
I, I'm a humble guy
No, really I try
You know it's hard sometimes
You, yeah you messed up to
My brother's gonna get through
Working my way back to you, babe
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Be good to me
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Be good to me
Here it comes, here it comes
Holy Joe
Please, don't make me say please
To champagne and ice cream
It's not what I want, it's what I need
Devotion and a little appreciation
A little heavy rotation looks good on me
I'm having the best time of anybody's life
Closer than ever to everybody's wife
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Be good to me
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Be good to me
Here it comes, here it comes
Holy Joe
Having the best time of anybody's life
Closer than ever to everybody's wife
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Be good to me
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Be good to me
Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on
Be good to me
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Be good to me
Here it comes, here it comes
Holy Joe
Here it comes, here it comes
Holy Joe
Here it comes, here it comes
Holy Joe
Here it comes, here it comes
Holy Joe
Fuck this
You don't know how you took it
You just know what you got
Oh Lordy you've been stealing
From the thieves and you got caught
In the headlights of a stretch car
Now you're a star
Dressing like your sister
Living like a tart
They don't know what you're doing
Babe, it must be art
You're a headache in a suitcase
You're a star
Of course you're not shy
It takes a crowd to cry
Hold me, thrill me, kiss me, kill me
You don't know how you got here
You just know you want out
Believing in yourself
Almost as much as you doubt
You're a big smash
You wear it like a rash
Star
Of course you're not shy
It takes a crowd to cry
Hold me, thrill me, kiss me, kill me
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon
Come over here, come over here
They want you to be Jesus
They want you to be Jesus
They'll go down on one knee
But they'll want their money back
If you're alive at thirty-three
And you're turning tricks
With your crucifix
Star
Of course you're not blind
It takes a crowd to cry
Hold me, thrill me, kiss me, kill me
C'mon, kill me, kill me, c'mon, kill me, c'mon
This is called Fire
Please come
Give us, mother, fire
Calling, calling
The sun is burning black
Calling, calling
It's beating on my back
With a fire
Fire
Calling, calling
This moon is burning red
Calling, calling
It's pulling me instead
With a fire
Fire
But there's a fire inside when I'm falling over
There's a fire in me when I call out
There’s a fire inside
I'm going home
I’m going home
Falling, Falling
The stars are falling down
Calling, calling
They knock me to the ground
With a fire
Fire
But there's a fire inside when I'm falling over
There's a fire in me when I call out
There's a fire inside when I'm falling over
I built a fire
I'm going home
We got it
Thank you
Thank you
Oh my love
It's a long way we've come
From the freckled hills to the steel and glass canyons
From the stony fields, to hanging steel from the sky
From digging in our pockets, for a reason not to say goodbye
These are the hands that built America
Russian, Sioux, Dutch, Hindu
Polish, Irish, German, Italian
I last saw your face in a watercolour sky
As sea birds argued a long goodbye
I took your kiss on the spray of the new line star
You gotta live with your dreams
Don't make them so hard
And these are the hands that built America
These are the hands that built America
The Irish, the Blacks, the Chinese, the Jews
Korean, Hispanic, Muslim, Indian
Of all of the promises
Is this one we can keep?
Of all of the dreams
Is this one still out of reach?
Its early fall
There's a cloud on the New York skyline
Innocence dragged across a yellow line
These are the hands that built America
These are the hands that built America
We are still determined to use the weapon of love
Weapon, weapon of love
Weapon of love
Don't believe in forced entry
I don't believe in rape
But everytime she passes by
Wild thoughts escape
I don't believe in deathrow
Skidrow or the gangs
Don't believe in the Uzi
It just went off in my hand
I believe in love
Get busy
I believe in love
Don't believe the devil
I don't believe his book
But the truth is not the same
Without the lies he made up
I don't believe in excess
Success is to give
I don't believe in riches
But you should see where I live
I believe in love
Don't believe in forced entry
I don't believe in rape
But everytime she passes by
Wild thoughts escape
I don't believe in deathrow
Skidrow or the gangs
Don't believe in the Uzi
It just went off in my hand
I believe in love
Don't believe in cocaine
I got a speeball in my head
I could cut and crack you open
Did you hear what I said
Don't believe them when they tell me
There ain't no cure
The rich stay healthy
The sick stay poor
I believe in love
Love, love, love, love
I don't believe in Goldman
His type like a curse
Instant karma's gonna get him
If I don't get him first
I don't believe that rock'n'roll
Can really change the world
As it spins in revolution
Yeah, spirals and turns
I believe in love
I don't believe in the '60s
In the golden age of pop
You glorify the past
When the future dries up
I heard a singer on the radio
Late last night
Says he's gonna kick the darkness
Till it bleeds daylight
I believe in love
Love, love, love
Love, love, love
I feel like I'm falling
Like I'm spinning on a wheel
It always stops beside a name
A presence I can feel
I believe in love
Stop it
Every chip from every cup
Every promise given up
Every reason that’s not enough
Is falling, falling at your feet
Every band elastic limit
Every race when there’s nothing in it
Every winner that’s lost a ticket
Is falling, falling at your feet
I’ve come crawling, falling at your feet
Every one who needs a friend
Every life that has no end
Every knee not ready to bend
Is falling, falling at your feet
I’ve come crawling, now I’m falling at your feet
All fall down
All the manic days, faces that pull
All fall down
All the x-rays not under your control
All fall down
The graphiti running down for futile
All fall down
And the compromise you make for someone
Every teenager with acne
Every face that’s spoiled by beauty
Ever adult tamed by duty
Are all falling at your feet
Every foot in every face
Every cop stop who finds the grace
Every prisoner in the maze
Every hand that needs an ace
Is falling, falling at your feet
I’ve come crawling, I’m falling at your feet
All fall down
All the books you never read
All fall down
Just started
All fall down
All the meals you rushed
All fall down
And never tasted
Every eye closed by a bruise
Every plan that just can’t lose
Every pop star hurling abuse
Every drunk back on the booze
All falling at your feet
I’m falling at your feet
All fall down
All the information
All fall down
All the big ideas
All fall down
All the radio waves
All fall down
Electronic seas
All fall down
How to navigate
All fall down
How to simply be
All fall down
The truth knows when to wait
All fall down
Explained simplicity
All fall down
In whom shall I trust
All fall down
How might I be still
All fall down
Teach me to surrender
Not my will
Thy will

The sea, it swells like a sore head
And the night, it is aching
Two lovers lie with no sheets on their bed
And the day, it is breaking
On rainy days we go swimming out
On rainy days swimming in the sound
On rainy days we go swimming out
You’re in my mind all of the time
I know that’s not enough
If the sky can crack there must be some way back
For love and only love
Electrical storm
Electrical storm
Baby don’t cry
Car alarm won’t let you back to sleep
You’re kept awake dreaming someone else’s dream
Coffee’s cold but it’ll get you through
Compromise, that’s nothing new to you
Let’s see colours that have never been seen
Let’s go to places no one else has been
You’re in my mind all of the time
I know that’s not enough
Well, if the sky can crack there must be some way back
To love and only love
Electrical storm
Electrical storm
Electrical storm
Baby don’t cry
It’s hot as hell, honey, in this room
Sure hope the weather will break soon
The air is heavy, heavy as a truck
Need the rain to wash away our bad luck
Well, if the sky can crack there must be some way back
To love and only love
Electrical storm
Electrical storm
Electrical storm

A young boy named Billy Joe
Restless on the farm
A boy filled with wanderlust
Who never really meant no harm
Bill changed his clothes and he shined his boots
And he combed his dark hair down
But his mama cried as he walked away
Don’t take your guns to town
Don’t take your guns to town
Don’t take your guns to town
He laughed and kissed his mom and said
Your Billy Joe, he’s the man
I can shoot as quick, I can shoot as straight
As anyone can
But I wouldn’t shoot without a cause
Or gun nobody down
But she cried again as he rode away
Don’t take your guns to town, son
Leave your guns at home
Don’t take your guns to town
Well, he drank his first strong liquor then
To calm his shaking hands
And he tried, he tried to tell himself
At last he had become a man
A dusty cowpoke stood at his side
Began to laugh him down
And he heard again his mother’s words
Don’t take your guns to town, son
Leave your guns at home
Don’t take your guns to town
Don’t take your guns
Don’t take your guns to town
Don’t take your guns
Don’t take your guns to town
Filled with rage, then Billy Joe
Reached for his gun to draw
But the stranger drew his gun and fired
Before he even saw
As Billy Joe fell to the floor
The crowd all gathered ‘round
And wondered at his final words
Don’t take your guns to town, son
Leave your guns at home
Don’t take your guns to town
Take these hands they're good for nothing
You know these hands never worked a day
Take these boots they're going nowhere
You know these boots don't want to stray
You got my head filled with songs
You got my shoelaces undone
Take my shirt, go on take it off me
You can tear it up
If you can tie me down
Do you feel loved
Do you feel loved
Do you feel loved
Do you feel loved
Take the colours of my imagination
Take the scent hanging in the air
Take this tangle of a conversation
And turn it into your own prayer
With my fingers as you want them
With my nails under your hide
With my teeth at your back
And my tongue to tell you the sweetest lies
Do you feel loved
Do you feel loved
Do you feel loved
And it looks like the sun
But it feels like the rain
Love's a bully pushing and shoving
In the belly of a woman
Heavy rhythm taking over
To stick together
A man and a woman
Stick together
Man and woman
Stick together...
And I feel loved
Do you feel loved
Do you feel loved
And it looks like the sun
But it feels like the rain
And there's heat in the sun
To see us through the rain
Do you feel loved
Do you feel loved
Do you feel...
Do you feel...

In Hollywood tonight
Hollywood, Hollywood, Hollywood, Hollywood
Police dodge bricks and bombs
You can hear them crashing on the sidewalk
Officers beating and kicking a man on the street
We just tryin' to get the police off our backs, man
The suspect reportedly pulled out a .25 caliber handgun and shot the victim in the shoulder
Shot the victim in the shoulder
Shot the victim in the shoulder
Shot the victim in the shoulder
Lover I'm off the streets
Gonna go where the bright lights and the big city meet
With a red guitar, on fire
Desire
She's the candle burning in my room
I'm like the needle, needle and spoon
Over the counter with a shotgun
Pretty soon, everybody got one
And the fever when I'm beside her
Desire
Desire

Oh, desire
And the fever when I'm beside her

Yeah, she's the promise in the year of election
Sister, I can't let you go
I'm like a preacher stealing hearts at a traveling show
For love or money, money, money
Money, money, money, money
Money, money, money, money
And the fever getting higher

I know you're so sad
So sad you can't cry
But I know you let go
Although you can't remember why
Your lipstick don't fit
Your strap's coming loose
You're out in the hall
Waltzing the blues
Now you hurt somewhere
They won't find a bruise
You've been learning to walk
In those dancin' shoes
I had a mama
She told me 'bout you
She said true love don't lie
You touch that woman
And the smoke won't leave your eyes
You're talking your walk
'Cause you can't refuse
Learning to walk
In those dancin' shoes
Now you hurt somewhere
They won't find a bruise
Learning to walk
In those dancin' shoes
A day without me
Started a landslide in my ego
Looked from the outside to the world I left behind
I'm dreaming, you're awake
If I was sleeping, what's at stake
A day without me
Whatever the feelings, I keep feeling
What are the feelings you left behind
A day without me
Started a landslide in my ego
Looked from the outside to the world I left behind
In the world I left behind
Wipe their eyes and then get home
In the world I left behind
Shed a tear and let go, no
Thank you
She is benediction
She is addicted to he
She is the root connection and
She is connecting with me
Here I go and I don't know why
I spin so ceaselessly
Could it be he's taking over me
I'm dancing barefoot
Headed for a spin
Some strange music drags me in
It makes me come up like some heroine
She is sublimation
She is the essence of thee
She is concentrating on
He who is chosen by she
Here I go when I don't know why
I spin so ceaselessly
Could it be he's taking over me
I'm dancing barefoot
Headed for a spin
Some strange music drags me in
It makes me come up like some heroine
She is recreation
She intoxicated by thee
She has the slow sensation that
He is levitating with she
Here I go when I don't know why
I spin so ceaselessly
'Til I lose my sense of gravity
I'm dancing barefoot
Heading for a spin
Some strange music drives me on
Makes me come up like some heroine
O God I feel for you
O God I feel for you
O God I feel for you
In the howling wind comes a stinging rain
See it driving nails into souls on the tree of pain
From the firefly, a red orange glow
I see a face of fear, it's running scared in the valley below
The sky
The sky
Bullet the blue sky
Bullet the blue sky
Bullet the blue sky
Bullet the blue sky
In the locust wind comes a rattle and hum
Jacob wrestled the angel and the angel was overcome
You plant a demon seed, you raise a flower of fire
See them burning crosses, see the flames, higher and higher
The sky
The sky
Bullet the blue sky
Bullet the blue sky
Bullet the blue sky
Bullet the blue sky
Run over to you, Roy Lichtenstein
See, this guy comes up to me
His face red like a rose on a thorn bush
Like all the colours of a royal flush
And he's peeling off those dollar bills
Slapping them down
And he's peeling off those dollar bills
Slapping them down
One hundred, two hundred, three hundred, four
I can see the fighter planes
I can see the fighter planes
Across the alleys, the quiet city streets
Across the tin huts and the Sarotista's sleep
Through the keys I unlock the door
Up the staircase to the first floor
A man breathes into a saxophone
Through the walls we hear the city groan
Outside it's America
Outside it's America
America, America
(instrumental)

Under her skin I hear her within
Under her love at peace with him
Under her hands that which I'm needing
Under her eyes I glimpse her love
Soul wind blows
Soul wind blows

Under her time I think I'm missing
Under her lie I hear her love
Under her breath I hear nothing
Under her eyes I disappear
Soul wind blows
Soul wind blows

Under the sky I'm pointing there
Under the power, baby
You say run away
Throw me away
Throw me away
In the drift we've come
In the drift we go
In the drift we had come
In the drift we go
Soul wind blows
Soul wind blows

Under her skin I feel loving
Under her sign there is no fear
Under her hands, that which I'm holding
Under her eyes I disappear

Soul wind blows
In the drift we come
Soul wind blows
In the drift we go
Soul wind blows
In the drift we come
In the drift we go
Day, day, day, day
Day, day, day, day
It’s a beautiful day
Don’t let it get away
Beautiful day
Day, day
The heart is a bloom, shoots up through the stony ground
But there's no room, no space to rent in this town
You're out of luck and the reason that you had to care
The traffic is stuck and you're not moving anywhere
It was a beautiful day
Beautiful day
You thought you'd found a friend to take you out of this place
Someone you could lend a hand in return for grace
Always
It's a beautiful day
The sky falls, you feel like
It's a beautiful day
Touch me
Take me to that other place
Teach me, love
I know I'm not a hopeless case
You're on the road but you've got no destination
You're in the mud, in the maze of her imagination
You love this town even if that doesn't ring true
You've been all over and it's been all over you
Always
It's a beautiful day
The sky falls and you feel like
It's a beautiful day
Touch me
Take me to that other place
Teach me, love
I know I'm not a hopeless case
See the Bedouin fires at night
See the oil fields at first light and
See the bird with a leaf in her mouth
After the flood all the colours came out
Day, day
It was a beautiful day
Don't let it get away
It was a beautiful day
It was a beautiful day
The sky falls and you feel like
It was a beautiful day
What you don't have you don't need it now
What you don't know you can feel somehow
What you don't have you don't need it now
Don't need it now
It was a beautiful day
It's warm in the sun, I reach to the sun
It's cold outside, it gets so hot in here
The boys and girls collide to the music in my ear
I hear the children crying and I know it's time to go
I hear the children crying, take me home
A painted face and I know we haven't long
We thought that we had the answers, it was the questions we had wrong
I hear the children crying and I know it's time to go
I hear the children crying, take me home
Sad song sad song
Sad song sad song
Sad song sad song
Sad song sad song
The heart is a bloom, shoots up through the stony ground
But there's no room, no space to rent in this town
You're out of luck and the reason that you had to care
The traffic is stuck and you're not moving anywhere
It was a beautiful day
Beautiful day
You thought you'd found a friend to take you out of this place
Someone you could lend a hand in return for grace
It's a beautiful day
The sky falls, you feel like
It's a beautiful day
Don't let it get away
You're on the road but you've got no destination
You're in the mud, in the maze of her imagination
You love this town even if that doesn't ring true
You've been all over and it's been all over you
It's a beautiful day
Don't let it get away
It's a beautiful day
See the world in green and blue
See China right in front of you
See the canyons broken by clouds
See the tuna fleets clearing the sea out
See the Bedouin fires at night
See the oil fields at first light and
See the bird with a leaf in her mouth
After the flood all the colours came out
It was a beautiful day
It was a beautiful day
It was a beautiful day
Don't let it get away
Beautiful day
Touch me, take me to that other place
Reach me, I know I'm not a hopeless case
What you don't have you don't need it now
What you don't know you can feel somehow
What you don't have you don't need it now
Don't need it now
It was a beautiful day
It's warm in the sun, I reach to the sun
The heart is a bloom, shoots up through the stony ground
But there's no room, no space to rent in this town
You're out of luck and the reason that you had to care

What you don't have you don't need it now
You don't need it now, don't need it now
It was a beautiful day
Soul, soul
The goal, the goal is soul
Goal, goal, goal
The goal is soul
Sing it
Beautiful day
Day, day, day, day
Day, day, day, day

You don't have to break your heart in two my love
You don't have to a play a part, its you I love
You don't have to hide from yourself
You don't have to be someone else, again
You don't have to rescue me
You don't have to watch me drown
You don't have to give to me
All I want is you
Be there, my love
Be there, tonight
Be there, my love
Be there, tonight
You don't have to dress yourself up,
Or stay the same
You don't have to smile,
If I say smile
You don't have to be the best
You don't have to give me rest
All I want is all you have
Nothing that has...nothing
Be there, my love
Just be there, my love
If you want the whole of me
That's all you'll get
I sing this song
I give my hand
I give it all
You don't have to
Yeah, yeah, yeah, bahh, bahh, bahh, bahh, bahh, bahh
Ahh, she goes...bahh
She says .... you just mean my...
Ahh, she says...duhh
You don't have to work it out together if I fall apart
You don't have to work the strings,
Or do those things, you're within my heart
You don't have to hide from yourself
You don't have to be someone else
All I want is all you have
All I want is you
Be there, my love
Be there, tonight
Be there, my love
Be there, tonight
Ohhhhhh, Auhhhh, Auhhh
You don't have to do as I say
If you twist and turn away, if you tear yourself in two again
If I could, you know I would, if I could, I would let it go
Surrender, dislocate
If I could throw this lifeless lifeline to the wind
Leave this heart of clay, see you break, break away
Into the night through the rain
Through the half-light, through the flame
If I could through myself, set your spirit free
I'd lead your heart away, see you break, break away
Into the light, through the day
So let it go, and so fade away
To let it go, and so to fade away
I'm wide awake
I'm wide awake
I'm not sleeping
Oh, no, no
I'm not sleeping
If you should ask well maybe they'd tell you what I would say
True colors fly in blue and black, bruised silken skies and burning flak
Colours crash, collide in blood shot eyes
If I could, you know I would, if I could, I would let it go
This desparation, seperation
Condemnation, revelation
In temptation, isolation
Desolation, isolation
Let it go, and so to fade away
To let it go, and so fade fade fade away
Not fade away, hey
Not fade away, no no
Not fade away
I'm wide awake
I'm wide awake
Wide awake
I'm wide awake
Wide awake
I'm not sleeping
Oh, no no
I'm not sleeping
Come on down
Come on down
Come on down
Sing it
Come on down
You say you want diamonds on a ring of gold
You say you want your story to remain untold
But all the promises we made from the cradle to the grave
When all I want is you
You say you'll give me a highway with no one on it
Treasure just to look upon it
All the riches in the night
You say you'll give me eyes on a moon of blindness
A river in a time of dryness
A harbour in the tempest
But all the promises we make from the cradle to the grave
When all I want is you
You say you want diamonds on a ring of gold
Your story to remain untold
Your love not to grow cold
All the promises we break from the cradle to the grave
When all I want is you
All I want is you
All I want is you
All I want is you
All I want is you
You say you want a diamond on a ring of gold
You say you want your story to remain untold
Sll the promises we make from the cradle to the grave
When all I want is you
You say you'll give me a highway with no one on it
Your treasure just to look upon it
All the riches in the night
You say you'll give me eyes in a moon of blindness
A river in a time of dryness
A harbour in the tempest
All the promises we make from the cradle to the grave
When all I want is you
You say you want your diamond on a ring of gold
Your story to remain untold
Your love not to grow cold
All the promises we make from the cradle to the grave
When all I want is you
All I want is you
All I want is you
All I want is you
All I want is you
Please help me now
Sing it
Merci, bon soir
Tres bien
Thank you so much
Merci bien
Dies irae, dies illa
Dies irae, dies illa
Tuba mirum spargens sonum
Decet in inferno
Dies illa, dies illa
English translation of the Latin lyrics:
A day of wrath, that day
A day of wrath, that day
The trumpet's wondrous call sounding abroad
He descended into hell
A day of wrath, that day
And you know it's time to go
Through the sleet and driving snow
Across the fields of mourning
Lights in the distance
And you hunger for the time
Time to heal, desire, time
And your earth moves beneath
Your own dream landscape
Oh, on borderland we run and still we run
I'll be there, I'll be there, tonight
We'll build a bridge across the sea and land
The city walls are all pulled down
The dust a smokescreen all around
Faces ploughed like fields
That once gave no resistance
Oh, on borderland we run and still we run
We run and don't look back
I'll be there, I'll be there
Tonight, tonight
I'll be there tonight
I'll be there tonight
Now the wind will crack in wintertime
This bomb-blast lightning waltz
No spoken words, just a scream
Tonight, we'll build a bridge across the sea and land
I'll be there, I'll be there
Tonight, tonight
And your heart beats so slow
Through the rain and fallen snow
Across the fields of mourning
Lights in the distance
Oh, don't sorrow,
No don't weep for tonight, with you
I am coming home
I am coming home
I have climbed highest mountain
I have run through the fields
Only to be with you
Only to be with you
I have run
I have crawled
I have scaled these city walls
These city walls
Only to be with you
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
I have kissed honey lips
Felt the healing in her fingertips
It burned like fire
This burning desire
I have spoken with the tongue of angels
I have held the hand of a devil
It was warm in the night
I was cold as a stone
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
I believe in the kingdom come
Then all the colors will bleed into one
Bleed into one
Well yes I'm still running
You broke the bonds and you
Loosed the chains
Carried the cross
Of my shame
Of my shame
You know I believed it
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for

Hearts gone astray
Keeping up when they go
I went away
Just when you needed me so
You won't regret
I'll come back begging you
Don't you forget
Welcome love we once knew
Yeah
Open up your eyes
Then you'll realize
Here I said was my
Everlasting love
Need you by my side
Come and be my pride
You'll never be denied
Everlasting love
From the very start
Open up your heart
Feel the love you've got
Everlasting love
This love will last forever
This love will last forever
Hearts gone astray
Keeping up when they go
I went away
Just when you needed me so
You won't regret
I'll come back begging you
Don't you forget
Welcome love we once knew
Yeah...
When life really flows
No one really knows
The sun will have to show them
Everlasting love
Like the sun it shines
Endlessly it shines
You always will be mine
Eternal love
Whatever love went wrong
Ours would still be strong
We'd have our own
Everlasting love
This love will last forever
This love will last forever
Open up your eyes
Then you'll realize
Here I said was my
Everlasting love
Need you by my side
Come and be my pride
Never be denied
Everlasting love
From the very start
Open up your heart
Feel the love you've got
Some folks are born made to wave the flag
Yeah, the red, white, and blue
When the band plays 'Hail To The Chief'
Yeah, they'll point the cannon at you
It ain't me, it ain't me
I'm no millionaire's son
It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no fortunate one
Some folks are born silver spoon in hand
Well, they help themselves, yeah
When the taxman comes to the door
House looks a like a rummage sale
It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no millionaire's son
It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no fortunate one, no
Some folks inherit star spangled eyes
Yeah, when they send you down to war
Well, when you ask them how much you should give
Yeah, it's always more, more, more
It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no senator's son
It ain't me, it ain't me
I'm no fortunate one
It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no military son
It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no fortunate son
