I go down fighting, thunder, lightning
As the final curtain falls
Although enlightening, the conclusion's frightening
You have me by the balls
No escape, no hand of fate
As the end comes into view
Oblivion calling, no sense stalling
And now I know it's all because of you
You got your finger on the trigger
You got your hand upon the gun
You know this thing is getting bigger
We got a good thing going on
The bullet bitten, my tombstone's written
Now you're changing every line
Your aim is true through cold steel blue
And you're waiting for the sign
Don't think twice, cold as ice
Forced to face your fear
Each tortured minute, no future in it
And now I know it's all because of you
You got your finger on the trigger
You got your hand upon the gun
You know this thing is getting bigger
We had a good thing going on
You got your finger on the trigger
You got your hand upon the gun
You know this thing is getting bigger
We got a good thing going on
Just where you been, girl, black as sin, girl
With your smoking 45
Take it further, scream blue murder
And to hell with keep it live
No regrets, last cigarettes
Or promise to be true
One last kiss, remember this
And now I know it's all because of you
You got your finger on the trigger
You got your hand upon the gun
You know this thing is getting bigger
We had a good thing going on
You got your finger on the trigger
You got your hand upon the gun
You know this thing is getting bigger
We had a good thing going on
You got your finger on the trigger
You know this thing is getting bigger
You got your finger on the trigger
(Payne/Downes)
They put away the DDT now
But gave metal to the sea
A hundred years can't wait
A hundred years can't wait another day
The only eagle, only tree
Within a desert that was green
A hundred years can't wait
A hundred years can't wait another day
Midnight
Draws ever near
Daylight
Is fading so fast
It's so close to midnight
Midnight
The melting ice will fuel the sea
By burning gold from ancient tree
A hundred years can't wait
A hundred years can't wait another day
This is progress, this is sin
Injecting poison in her skin
A hundred years can't wait
A hundred years can't wait another day
Midnight
Draws ever near
Daylight
Is fading so fast
It's so close to midnight
Now, the party's over
It's you and I, just you and I
Now, the guests have gone
It's one on one, one on one
Which way now will the eagle fly?
Tell me how will the stars shine in the sky?
Love now till eternity
Shooting for the moon
To put your hand in mine and say
"I vow to stay with you"
Love now till eternity
Shooting for the moon
To put your hand in mine and say
"I vow to stay with you"
You, you are my life
And so I give all that I can
All, all that is left
That you are woman, I am man
Which way now will the eagle fly?
Tell me how will the stars shine in the sky?
Love now till eternity
Shooting for the moon
To put your hand in mine and say
Heart and soul
You took me in a special way
No time at all
My feelings were just blown away
Angel in red
I couldn't take my eyes off you
A golden chance
Into the light out of the blue
This is the time
The place is a four-minute rendezvous
But oh my God
The thought never entered my mind
Before I saw you
Oh Kari-Anne
The first time that I ever saw your face
Well I knew
Oh Kari-Anne
I never should be standing in this place
But I do
Kari-Anne
Shameless love
We know what we're gonna do
Hopeless romance
But I love every inch of you
In your arms
Do anything you want me to
No way out
My heart just tells me what to do
Whoa, Oh Kari-Anne
I Will Be There For You
(Payne/Downes/Sherwood)
I remember long ago
A foolish one that hurt you so
I was someone you need to know
Stay here tonight
Turn back the tide
You've got to shine on my life again
I just need a second chance
To repair this circumstance
Stay here tonight
Turn back the tide
You've got to shine on my life again
Anything you want
Anything you need
I will be there for you
Every single day
Every little way
I will be there for you
Anything you want
Anything you need
I will be there for you
Every single day
Every little way
I will be there for you
I am so much wiser now
I live so fast I must slow down
Forget the past forgive me world
Stay here tonight
Turn back the tide
You've got to shine on my life again
Anything you want
Anything you need
I will be there for you
Every single day
Every little way
I will be there for you
Anything you want
Anything you need
I will be there for you
Every single day
Every little way
I will be there for you
It's not up to me
You have to believe
We must cross this sea alone
Did you ever know?
The day I let you go
I've been running on my own
After all is said and done
Time will wait no more
Have not the strength to carry on
Light grows cold
Steals away the life in me
Cold with this uncertainty
Forgive me
I can't wait a lifetime
Won't let this child die within my heart
I can't wait a lifetime
Don't let it slip away
Don't let it slip away
From me
In the end I had to turn
Hurt to see you cry
Beneath the skin the prison lies
Love the only crime
Do I unlock the life in me
Or ride the storm eternally
Forgive me
I can't wait a lifetime
Won't let this child die within my heart
I can't wait a lifetime
Don't let it slip away
Don't let it slip away
Through the fields that have changed with time
The spirit still grows stronger
I can see the boy inside
I can feel the hunger
But there's a shadow that is thrown upon us
Like a thief come in the night
They still try and put us down
We stand and fight
I believe
We're gonna rise and steal the thunder
I believe
We're gonna hold this flame forever
I believe
Like an arrow from a burning bow
It's aim once born of anger
Like a river that forever flows
The years our only danger
The water washes over me
But I still can breathe the fire
Oh lord, I'm just a man
No longer giving it all away
I believe
We're gonna rise and steal the thunder
I believe
We're gonna hold this flame forever
In the distance, I can see them
On the trade winds, across stormy seas.
They are many, please believe me,
There's something to find,
There's someplace here deep inside of my mind.
There is a time where,
There is no place here.
Tell me if you get there...
Heaven
Can you see this land I'm dreaming?
Such a place, I hope we will find.
Is it there now? tell me where now,
'cos I need to know.
Believe... it's still deep inside of my mind.
There is a time where,
There is no place here.
Tell me if you get there...
We are the future within our dome
A new generation, we live alone
Washed the words from the subway wall
We had to fight to survive
You still can have it all
So listen to our cry
With a mind of steel, but a heart of gold
The winds of change you can move the stone
By the hands of love you must free the soul
To live forever with a heart of gold
We are the future, we hold the key
The messengers are calling, "wake up your race"
All but man did turn to dust
Then we saw her fall
Cut her down by the sword of greed
So listen to our cry
With a mind of steel, but a heart of gold
The winds of change you can move the stone
By the hands of love you must free the soul
To live forever with a heart of gold
With a mind of steel, but a heart of gold
The winds of change you can move the stone
By the hands of love you must free the soul
To live forever with a heart of gold
You are the future, it's up to you
Dig for victory, go for gold
I don't wanna die before I get old
And I wonder where I'm going to
There's some way out, there's some way through
But I'm lost, I'm lost, I'm down again
My direction is changing, which way
Which way can I go?
Get up and go
You start me up, you slow me down
No one can deny, you get around
When you're hot, you're cold, you're in between
Keep asking myself, what does it mean?
And I walk that tightrope, you should know
I'm losing my balance, maybe
Maybe I should go
Get up and go
Just go
Get up and go
Face to face in sympathy
But now you turn your back on me
Turn a card and win, but you may lose
Fate only has that right to choose
If you're right, leave me here, I'll die alone
You've got the time, you've just got time
You've got the time, just go
Get up and go
Just go
Get up and go
Just go
Just go
Look into the distance, you're living in a cage
A fire burns inside you, that fuels all the rage
You're thinking of the outside, and dream of the past
The gates to freedom lie within your grasp
They're changing the system, rewriting the laws
Renaming religion, reshaping your cause
You'll always be lonely, walking with fools
The shadows in the doorways make the rules
Free, this time
Don't be scared of who you are
Free, to find
There's no hiding in the dark
A new day is dawning, a new age begun
Nobody told you which way you should run
Wait for the thunder, break from the shell
Is this the gate to freedom from this Hell?
Free, this time
Don't be scared of who you are
Free, to find
There's no hiding in the dark
Free, this time
You can learn to live again
Free, to find
There is shelter from the rain
They're razing the fences in the pastures of doom
The fields of our heroes, the land won by few
The call of a new world, dream to transcend
Now it's time to fight and start again
Free, this time
Don't be scared of who you are
Free, to find
There's no hiding in the dark
Free, this time
You can learn to live again
Free, to find
Feel my mind, the sleep is ending
As we rush into the sea
Take my eyes, and I will show you
The future in the deep
You must breathe on
You must be strong
Am I right to fight the distance
As we push against the tide?
You must breathe on
You must be strong
Rushing through my head, I can touch the thunder
Lighting up the mind, as the wind blows stronger
Pushing back the sea, as the storm is calling on
Louder than before, in the raging river
Faster than the stream, will it last forever?
Holding back the time, as the world stops turning
Feels like love...
Tell me, does it feel like love?
We look to the sky, to the statue of hope
She is holding the flame, as the island awoke
To the city of dreams, where the angel still sleeps
See the satellites glow as they rise from the sea
Feels like love...
Another meltdown
Another change of state
Some other big town
Where he can make his break
She said, "Oh no, I like it this way"
And he said, "Oh no, does this mean I can stay?"
I feel like I'm just caving in
I really do
And what is to be must be
Help me, now I'm falling
Give me early warning
Help me, I'm in danger over you
So how you feelin'?
You know it's not too late
Don't hold your head down
You must recuperate
I feel like I'm just caving in
I really do
And what is to be must be
Help me, now I'm falling
Give me early warning
Help me, I'm in danger over you
Help me, now I'm falling
Give me early warning
Help me, I'm in danger over you
Over you, over you, over you
I don't want to see your picture
On a faded video
I don't want to turn the clock back
To the way it used to go
Can you give me any reasons
Why I made this sacrifice?
When you thought, you walked on water
You were skating on thin ice
'Cause we don't see eye to eye
'Cause we don't see eye to eye
I don't want to be a memory
Just another Anglophile
I would never learn your language
Could it be there's no more time?
Is there any reason talking
'Bout your crazy point of view?
You can't even try to answer
The questions that I put to you
'Cause we don't see eye to eye
'Cause we don't see eye to eye
'Cause we don't see eye to eye
All of the nights when the light was low
And day seemed so far away
Darkness was endless
And I kept seeing ghosts turn in shades of gray
Wanted to see things just the way they used to be
Don?t want those shadows hanging over me
Daylight, wanna see daylight
Wanna see daylight that shines all around
Daylight, I wanna see clear blue light
Wanna see daylight that shines all around
Hours and hours in towers
On the back road of tragedy
Voices are calling
And fingers come on crawling all over me
Then when I sit up and my hands begin to shake
Suddenly, there I see the dawn break
Daylight, wanna see daylight
Wanna see daylight that shines all around
Daylight, wanna see clear blue light
Wanna see daylight that shines all around
Only one thing keeping me sane
Daylight, wanna see daylight
Wanna see daylight that shines all around
Daylight, I wanna see clear blue light
I wanna see daylight that shines all around
Daylight, I wanna see clear blue light
(Payne/Downes)
Do you believe?
The truth
Of who we are
Everyone must kneel
Everyone must bow
No matter how you feel
In the sacred hour
And the sun don't shine
Cos the moon won't fall
And the sun won't shine
Is there light at all?
Its darkness day
Ghost
I feel it to the bone
Enough
The messages in stone
Now the day has come
Everyone will see
A new age has begun
For eternity
And the sun don't shine
Cos the moon won't fall
And the sun won't shine
Is there light at all?
As a child, we played the game
Fought the war, but felt no pain
Arm to arm, we left the skin
Then said the words, remember them
Oh, never a moments doubt
Oh, feel it, scream it loud
Chorus:
Anytime that you call
Anytime if you fall
Anytime I'll be there for you
Any moment of fear
Anytime say the prayer
Swear that our word is true
Should I go
Should I stay?
I won't turn my head away
Cross the line, the great divide
So kill the silence, where we hide
Oh, never a moments doubt
Oh, feel it so scream it loud
Chorus
If clouds fall, stand tall
As mountains climb from endless sea
Call out, fear not
Bring back that memory
You're twisting what I say
You have me on the floor
I have to get away
I move toward the door
PC This is it, because I'm on my way...
Ch: (Tell me where you're going to now)
I'm going to find Al Gatto Nero
(What will you do, please tell me how?)
Mi sento fortunato, si si, é vero
(I need to know, when will you be there?)
I'll be there after midnight, and I will be solo
(And how are you feeling tonight?)
I'm feeling good
Via della Luna, quattro quattro zero
All's fair in war and love
I hear that's what they say
It's clear I've had enough
We fight another day
This is it, because I'm on my way...
Time after time
For those that are able
To go underground
Missiles disenable
They hit faster than sound
They're coming and you have no choice
The helpless with one human foice
That will categorically say
This underdog will have his day
One more dead is one more than it ought to be
A travesty
One more missed will be kissed to eternity
Or purgatory
After the war
Red button he's pressing
But he knows not why
He's programming orders
War lights up the sky
He's on the hotline tonight
His mind is high as a kite
His fingers decide wrong or right
This man has it all in his sights
Used as tools to believe in autonomy
Minorities are no more
Men are fools, one last cry to humanity
No sanity any more
After the war
On my arm, a tattoo for my sons to be
That numbers you and me
There's a scar on my face
That is photographed for all to see
Don't hang that sign on me
You're the stranger
Don't try to talk to me
You're the stranger
On the seas
They came from far away
From the skies
Their silver birds of prey
In one day
Ten thousand years could change
We are fools
To live your pilgrim ways
Don't hang that sign on me
You're the stranger
Don't try to talk to me
You're the stranger
And we drive
Five hundred miles this time
To the edge
Of crystal-cut blue sky
Silence breathes
South of the border line
Silent trees
Look back and wonder why
Did father and his holy son
Spread the word and point the gun?
And where the eagle used to fly
They carve their concrete in the sky
Tearing at our mother's skin
Taking all her blood within
Remember how it used to be?
Did father and his holy son
Spread the word and point the gun
And where the eagle used to fly
They carve their concrete in the sky
Tearing at our mother's skin
Taking all her blood within
Remember how it used to be?
Stand up again and say:
Don't hang that sign on me
You're the stranger
Don't try to talk to me
You're the stranger
Don't hang that sign on me
You're the stranger
Don't try to talk to me
Laser, breathing on my window
Two strings, beating out of time
Koto, warning of the danger
Wake up, is your head still mine?
Now they give you reasons
To fight for love
That's enough
In a paper world
That's enough
Said the chinese girl
That's enough
Another city falls
Just because we're two sides of the moon
Data, streaming through my window
Chrome stars, whispering their lies
Black sky, hides approaching stranger
Reach out, two should now be one
Disregard the reasons
And look above
That's enough
In a paper world
That's enough
Said the siamese girl
That's enough
Another city falls
He often wondered where he's from
The Holy Grail, the bloodline son
In his veins the answer comes
The Promised Land, Parisian
We sail today
Into the sun
To the place
Where life begun
From the sea
Into the soul
Tell Mother Earth
To conquer all
Their temple stones will point the way
They kept their secret to the grave
A final journey he must run
The Promised Land, Parisian
We sail today
Into the sun
To the place
Where life began
From the sea
Into the soul
Tell Mother Earth
There is no comeback from the big divide
Maybe there's a future to be found waiting on the other side
If it's illusion, then what is real?
In life's confusion, take what you can
Fight it till you reach the goal.
And the higher you climb you can fall
But never look down
And the faster you run, it's a crawl
To the end of the line.
Seems all directions lead to one place
There are no signposts guiding me
It takes a long time to see
And the higher you climb you can fall
But never look down
And the faster you run, it's a crawl
To the end of the line.
The age of reason has come and gone
The changing seasons move on and on until you reach the goal
And the higher you climb you can fall
But never look down
And the faster you run, it's a crawl
Standing on the border,
Waiting on the line.
Silence is a stranger,
In these troubled times.
I recall a better place,
Where I controlled my mind.
We had no fears at all...
The day before the war.
Hands across the water,
The sun is in the east.
Who will feed the famine
After lions feast?
In the name of jesus,
In the name of god,
You took it all in vain...
The day before the war.
Standing on the border,
Waiting on the line.
Feet in bloody water,
Deafened by the crime.
I recall the beauty,
Young will never see.
We had no fears at all...
The day before the war.
Hearts across the water,
The sun is in the east.
Ships arrived this morning,
From the burning sea.
Take away the glory,
Take away the pain.
You were a friend of mine...
Tell me why,
I don't believe in you.
I don't believe it's true.
I don't believe in you.
Happens nearly every time,
If you let them, they'll control your mind,
Yes your mind.
But that was only yesterday,
So you had to wash your head in hate.
In hate, in hate.
Tell me why,
I don't believe in you.
I don't believe it's true.
I don't believe in you.
Shall we stand against the wind?
Staring at the justice of their sins,
Their sins.
What have they done to live this way?
In a modern world, the fragile pay
They pay, oh yes they pay.
Tell me why,
I don't believe in you.
I don't believe it's true.
Rock and roll dream
Not what it seems
Who is the dreamer now?
When I see the faces from the limousine
No chance of our survival
Armed forces, the guardians of the law
Awaiting our arrival
They all are young, we all were young
And I've seen this place before
Open up the door, let us in
All the things I'd seen
Words I said, I didn't mean
Feelings, I took for granted
But now reality
One thing we could never see
Everything, we always wanted
They all are young, we all were young
And I've seen this place before
Open up the door, let us in
Rock and roll dream
Not what it seems
Who is the dreamer now?
Rock and roll dream
Not what it seems
Who is the dreamer now?
If I had the choice
Words came through my voice
I should have left unspoken
Now it's obvious
Clear to all of us
The dream that now is broken
Take the stage tonight
Go, face the lights
With this image you should keep
You're crying in your sleep tonight
Rock and roll dream
Not what it seems
Who is the dreamer now?
Rock and roll dream
Not what it seems
Who is the dreamer now?
Rock and roll dream
Not what it seems
Who is the dreamer now?
I saw you standing hand in hand
And now you come to me the solitary man.
And I know what it is that made us live such ordinary lives
The where to go
the who to see
no one could sympathize.
The smile has left your eyes
the smile has left your eyes.
And I've become a rolling stone
I don't know where to go or what to call my own
But I can see that black horizon looming ever close to view
It's over now
it's not my fault
see how this feels for you
The smile has left your eyes
the smile has left your eyes.
But I never thought I'd see you standing there with him
So don't come crawling back to me.
I saw you standing hand in hand . . .
Now it's too late to realize
now that no one can sympathize
Now that the smile has left your eyes.
Now it's too late to realize
now that no one can sympathize
Now it's too late to realize
now that the smile has left your eyes.
Walking through the snow kicking my heels
Seems that sunlight never felt so good before
Bet you really don¡¯t know how it feels
I don¡¯t have to answer to no one no more
And better I¡¯ve never felt
Nothing to show, but nothing to lose,
I¡¯m on my own
Cast your mind back not so long ago
I was always busy playing by the rules
Bet you thought I really didn¡¯t know
You were double dealing, now you¡¯re back at school
Something you didn¡¯t learn
Faith in myself
Gives me the strength to carry on
I¡¯ll do what I want to anyway
I¡¯ll do what I want and I¡¯ll do it in
My Own Time
Don¡¯t give that same old pack of lies
I¡¯ll tell you the story how it really is
You think you always had me under ties
Someone better tell you that the table¡¯s turned
Getting your fingers burned, how does it feel?
Now it¡¯s for real this is the deal
I¡¯ll do what I want to anyway
I¡¯ll do what I want and I¡¯ll do it in
My Own Time is on my side again
And one thing I intend
Is to do it in My Own Time
Hard times you had before you
I knew when I first saw you
You girl you¡¯ve always been mistreated, cheated
So leave it all behind you
It took so long to find you
I know that we can last forever, ever and more, more, oh
Don¡¯t Cry now that I¡¯ve found you
Don¡¯ Cry take a look around you
Don¡¯t Cry it took so long to find you
Do what you want, but little darling please Don¡¯t Cry
I knew I¡¯d never doubt it
I was so sure about it
Don¡¯t think of all that¡¯s been before
I¡¯ll hear you when you¡¯re calling
I¡¯ll catch you when you¡¯re falling
Don¡¯t worry I will always be there, like never before, or, oh
All of the nights when the light was low and day seemed so far away
Darkness was endless and I kept seeing ghosts turn in shades of grey
I wanted to see things just the way they used to be
Don¡¯t want those shadows hanging over me
Daylight, I wanna see daylight
Wanna see daylight that shines all around
Daylight, I wanna see clear blue light
Wanna see daylight that shines all around
Hours and hours in towers on the back road of tragedy
Voices are calling and fingers come on crawling all over me
Then when I sit up and my hands begin to shake
Suddenly there I see the dawn break
Only one thing keeping me sane, oh
(Wetton/Downes)
The time is right for dancing, New Moon is rising high
The stars they shine like diamonds do, within a velvet sky
Who cares when it is midnight? No curfew here, I swear
The angels dance with us tonight, the Devil won't be there
Warm breeze from the Sahara, at St. Rene? l'Abbe?
Fling your shoes into the wind, and roll your cares away
Listen children, what's that sound?
Won't you come and hear our music play
All good children gather round
And we'll dance the holy night away,
What you say?
Step this way
It's okay...
Our troubles are but bubbles, floating off toward the moon
This special time is precious, for the morning comes too soon
So, listen to the music, and join us if you dare
Come and take a breath of this intoxicating air
This is a perfect evening, there's magic here tonight
If you believe in miracles, there's plenty here tonight
Listen children, what's that sound?
Won't you come and hear our music play
All good children gather round
And we'll dance the holy night away,
What you say?
Step this way
It's okay
Invisible sun cast your shadow over me
As wind cuts like a knife
Catapulting me from life with you
Waiting on an empty street, hiding from the sun
And in one place or another
All my memories still remain
You've been taken from my eyes
But you're running through my veins
Down corridors of rocks and sand
It's littered and it's torn
The wear and tear from dusk till dawn
Waiting on an empty street, hiding from the sun
And in one place or another
All my memories still remain
You've been taken from my eyes
But you're running through my veins
You've been taken from my eyes
But you're running through my veins
This treasure can be anyone's
To believe in only one
It's not a foolish thing, there's no comparison
Waiting on an empty street, hiding from the sun
And in one place or another
All my memories still remain
You've been taken from my eyes
But you're running through my veins
You've been taken from my eyes
But you're running through my veins
You've been taken from my eyes
But you're running through my veins
Through my veins, through my veins
Through my veins, through my veins
Through my veins, through my veins
Hey, what a spectacular evening
Yeah, why would I ever complain?
If it wasn't for you, I don't know what I would do
So you help me through
And I don't wanna lose you
Hey, what would you say if I told you
I thank you for all that I am
'Cos I was on my own
I just can't do it alone
'Cos I don't know how
And I don't wanna lose you now
And if there's something that I can do for you
Just call my name and I will be coming through
Any time, or place at all I will be there
If it wasn't for you, I don't know what I would do
'Cos I don't know how
And I don't wanna lose you
Sometimes it's too hard to be honest
These things don't come easy to me
So while we've been apart
I've just followed my heart
And it's in your hands, so
I don't wanna lose you now
And if there's something that I can do for you
Just call my name and I will be coming through
Any time, or place at all I will be there... yeah!
If it wasn't for you, I don't know what I would do
'Cos I don't know how
And I don't wanna lose you now
Don't wanna lose you now
I don't wanna lose you now
I don't wanna lose you now
I don't wanna lose you now
I don't wanna lose you now
I don't wanna lose you
Hey, what would you say if I told you
I thank you for all that I am
If it wasn't for you, I don't know what I would do
'Cos I don't know how
The fighting's over now
There's nowhere left to run
My ammunition's out
I'd better put down my gun
And as I face this life of fear
I'd better keep my conscience clear
Inside my mind I'm out of it
And I ain't never coming back
Chorus:
So don't come running here to find me
'cos I'm a military man
And as I spin this wheel of fortune
In my military world
I'm a military man
The architects of time
Are calling me
But I don't believe it
Necessarily
And as I face this life of fear
Break the chains
That bind me here
Inside my head I'm out of it
But I'm still never coming back
Chorus
I'm a military man
I'm looking at your photograph The picture on my wall
Life's too short for memories I can't have it all
You gave me the run-around So we go our own sweet ways
I'll be making the most of summertime Crazy nights and lazy days
Summer Can't Last Too Long Summer Can't Last Too Long
Spring, Winter or Fall But out of them all
The Summer Can't Last Too Long
One night can seem a lifetime And I've got no more time to lose
Sunshine on my shoulders Kissing away my blues
Looking to the future Searching for the girl
Not too much like the last one Just the prettiest in the world
Summer Can't Last Too Long Summer Can't Last Too Long
Spring, Winter or Fall But out of them all
The Summer Can't Last Too Long
Yeah, yeah
He was just a lonely kid
No matter what he did
Was never recognised
Then you came along
Was the second son
So special in their eyes
Oh how he ran
To the city where his dreams would turn to man
Oh how he ran
So he lived his life alone
Where he lay was home
Then they made him move along
From town to town
With his head held down
Then he turned twords the gun
Again how he ran
From the badge he had no chance to understand
Oh how he ran
Chorus:
Don't cut the wire, cos he really needs you now
Don't cut the wire, in the final hour
When it comes to the rest, you were always the best
Brother don't you cut the wire
Many years have passed
But behind the mask
He always thought of you
Now with a gun in hand
It's his final stand
Your brother needs you too
He knows how he ran
From the child he was
Then later from the man
Oh how he ran
Chorus
As I look back
In that last act
Far beyond the call of duty
Did I stay strong?
Did I give more?
Far beyond the call of duty
Walked the streets at night
Head low
To cross the borderline
That only you know
Then inside your room
You'll show
The man you did not want to be
Chorus:
Are you big enough?
Are you losing your touch?
And if you walk away
Don't you know you'd better change
From these early days
Don't want to let go
You'd climb the stairs of change
To her room
Held those clothes so soft
Was it so good
To paint the face the scars of youth?
{chorus}
Rock and roll dream
Not what it seems
Who is the dreamer now?
When I see the faces from the limousine
No chance of our survival
Armed forces, guardians of the law
Awaiting our arrival
They all are young
We all were young
And I've seen this place before
Open up the door
Let us in
All the things I've seen
Words I said, I didn't mean
Feelings, I took for granted
But now reality
One thing we could never see
Everything, we always wanted
They all are young
We all were young
And I've seen this place before
Open up the door
Let us in
{chorus}
If I had the choice
Words came through my voice
I should have left unspoken
Now it's obvious
Clear to all of us
The dream that now is broken
Take the stage tonight
Go face the lights
With this image you should keep
You're crying in your sleep
Tonight
{chorus}
As the world is caving in
From the pressures of the day
And you feel that you can't win
But you know you'll have to stay
We have to toe the line
It's so hard to take the pace
You're a better man than I
In the perfect human race
So we live under the gun
We live under the gun
See the writing on the wall
In the city's caves of steel
Hear the echoes of the night
Will the anger ever heal?
So we live under the gun
We live under the gun
We live under the gun
We live
Your mind control, your gift of lies
You, brother, dear we're screaming
You said you cared, we needed you
You, mother, now you're leaving
So we live under the gun
We live under the gun
We live under the gun
If you want it
Don't look at my face
It's the last time
It's not forever
The dust in the wind
It's the last time
One world, one dream
The stars in your hand
No light, no life
The scars are made by man
Heaven can't help you now
In this madness
Take it while you can
It's the last time
This holy water
Running away
For the last time
One world, one dream
The stars in your hand
No light, no life
So heal the scars of man
One chance, this night
To shine on this land
This time, with pride
Give back now while you can
All these fields, that once were green
Have turned to smoke and steel
The sun will fall, and the last moon rise
Don't turn this tide away
If you want it
So start it again
It's the last time
(the scars were made by man)
It's not forever
The dust is the wind
For the last time
One world, one dream
The stars in your hand
No light, no life
So heal the scars of man
One chance, this night
To shine on this land
This time, with pride
Give back now while you can
It's all gone wrong, I just can't take no more
So don't you push me with your lies
Another parking fine, ten more deadly bills
They say it's gonna rain again
They tried to comfort you
To take the pain away
The words they said to you
Could never be explained
Come make my day
Come make my day
This useless radio, there's traffic everywhere
I wonder where she was last night
Why are we standing still? It's so hard to breathe
And stop the voices in my head
They tried to comfort you
To take the pain away
The words they said to you
Could never be explained
Come make my day
Come make my day
Let me out of here, the clouds are closing in
I need to see her one more time
They tried to comfort you
To take the pain away
The words they said to you
Could never be explained
Come make my day
Come make my day
Come make my day

[Instrumental]
Silent wave coming down on me
Washing out the lie
Living inside me
Life's not hard
Now I'm on tv
This sudden twist of fate
I am direct salvation
Just send in your donation
I can promise that you'll be saved
Forgive me, world
I'm just a man who's lost his way
Forgive me, these two words I pray
It's time to make a change
Yesterday was a different day
Thought I knew the answer
A vision in my mind
Search my soul
And then you will find
A shelter for my pain
The truth is in the open
And now my heart has spoken
Hoping maybe you'll hear my cry
Forgive me, world
I'm just a man who's lost his way
Forgive me, these two words I pray
It's time to make a change
Forgive me, world
I'm just a man who sins today
Forgive me, these two words I pray
My faith is still the same
Maybe I can't change the past
Maybe love can bring us back
Maybe we can try and start again.
Forgive me, world
Brown suede shoes and corduroys
Greasy hair not out of choice
Trying hard to blend in with the boys
Standing in the corner of the room
He would see her every Friday night
Watching all the guys hold her so tight
Looks in her eyes
But she doesn't even know his name
He would give her just anything
To hear her voice
To hear her sing
";I love you";
Climbing mountains so high
He won't give in
Risk the thin thread of life
To find his dream
There is no turning back
In the face of attack
Looking for the key of her heart
She's the reason of his dreams
Heroine to his pirate king
Marylin to his Jimmy Dean
Swept away to the sound of violins
Friday night and it's all for real
She don't know just how he feels
Maybe this could be her lucky day
He would give her just anything
To hear her voice
To hear her sing
";I love you";
Climbing mountains so high
He won't give in
Risk the thin thread of life
To find his dream
There is no turning back
In the face of attack
Looking for the key of her heart
Don't read Marx
He's a clean cut guy
Just the dream
On a TV eye
If you swim
In the dark
You lose a hand
When you feed the shark
Little rich boy
She's gonna find you
Little rich boy, yeah
Little rich boy
Those claws will blind you
Just a little rich boy
She got hooks
In your veins
Feel the pleasure
Kill the pain
Drop a pearl
See the dragon fly
Crack the diamond
Do you still feel high?
Little rich boy
She's gonna find you
Little rich boy, yeah, yeah
Little rich boy
Those claws will blind you
Just a little rich boy
Hey, rich boy
It's too late, no
Real life rich boy
But you can wait
Little rich boy
She's gonna find you
Little rich boy
Little rich boy
Those claws will blind you
Just a little rich boy
Just a little rich boy
Wheels turn, smoke rise
Chrome wings, low ride
The freeway, red line
To city lights electric I glide
If there's escape from your illusion
You gotta break the whole constitution
A concrete, touch sky
Main street, the dogs lie
Steel bird and black tie
Is this what they call the freedom you buy?
Look at him behind the delusion
All you hear is the voice of confusion
The bad boy's back
The bad boy's back in town, oh yeah
The bad boy's back
Don't you shoot him down
Wheels spin, ace high, no win, no life
One world, truth lies
Love's just a word on a red neon sign
If there's escape from the conclusion
You gotta shake the whole institution
The bad boy's back
The bad boy's back in town, oh yeah
The bad boy's back
Don't you shoot him down
If there's escape from your illusion
You gotta break the whole constitution
The bad boy's back
The bad boy's back in town, oh yeah
The bad boy's back
Don't you shoot him down
I said, the bad boy's back
The bad boy's back in town, oh yeah
The bad boy's back
In the dead of the night
On the wings of the wind
I hear the ocean bell
With a flash of the light
In the beat of the dark
The sound I know so well
I shall never forget you
Itïs been so long
I should never have left you
The call so strong
CHORUS
Itïs a far cry from a wild world
I want to get back to you
Such a long road, to the homeland
I must make my way to a far cry
From the chords of the earth
To the depths of the sea
I will return
As I look to the hill
Through the eyes of the storm
I touch the flame
I shall never forget you
Itïs been so long
I should never have left you
The call so strong
CHORUS
Itïs such a far cry
====================================================================
If I whispered words, would you hear them now?
Would you cross the deepest seas?
In the fiercest winds, on the burning trail,
Seal it with your word.
If I whispered words, would you keep a lie?
Would you promise me till time?
So if we grow old and the distance parts,
So seal it with your word.
Oh, I'll scream upon the hill,
So, you can hear me still.
Now, will we ever fade?
I seal it with my word.
If I whispered words, would you hear them now?
Would you cross the deepest seas?
In the fiercest winds, on the burning trail,
Gazing at our sunrise
Reflected in your clear eyes
Misty morning forest smoke fires
Make our way through the broken day
I couldn't stand to stay
Without you
We must keep moving
While the light is clearing
Leaving your dark world behind you
You have to run
Life is just begun
I'll never be alone
Without you
One chilling thought
Come screaming through the dark
I saw a yellow moon at midnight
And now you woke
Glowing in the smoke
I'm suddenly alone
Without you
Wanting things the way they used to be
You don't know what that can do to me
One more day, maybe never
Might as well be forever
Outside the light,fading as I write
And another night reminds me
As I sleep, memory that I keep
It's just another night
Without you
It seems so long
I've been holding on
Since I felt my arms around you
Time will go, both of us will know
Never be a day
Wishing, hoping
How can I keep coping
'Til I know your wish is
To be with me
You go, I know
You were the one who told me so
I'm wishing you lying
In my arms again
Sad, so sad
It's written across my face
My tears leave no trace
They fall and disappear
Mad, so mad
Leaving you on your own
Your right to disown me
Will always be so clear
Wishing, so long
How can I keep holding on
While missing you
Wishing you home again
Sad, so sad
It's written across my face
My tears leave no trace
They fall and disappear
Mad, so mad
Leaving you on your own
Your right to disown me
Will always be so clear
Wishing, wishing, wishing
Wishing, so long
How can I keep holding on
When this song
Is wishing you home again
Wishing, wishing, wishing, wishing
It was a lie, nothing was real
Just a disguise you?re using, you?re using still
When you meet the preacher man remind him of your fear
Over which you operate, operate control
When the truth is recalled, the evidence resound
It?s the price you?ll pay on the rebound
Wish I'd known all along
What you?re running from
Wish I?d known all along
You can?t choose between weak, weak or strong
But you?re not there to turn the key
On your own two feet, two feet on the ground
Get a grip right on to the situation
Try to choose what you choose to ignore
Wish I'd known all along
What you?re running from
Wish I?d known all along
You can?t choose between weak, weak or strong
Your time has come, it?s not too late
Don?t hesitate, hesitate
Wish I'd known all along
What you?re running from
Wish I?d known all along
What you?re running from
When the present destroys the past
Wish I'd known all along
What you?re running from
Wish I?d known all along
You can?t choose between weak, weak or strong
When the present destroys the past
They decorated all the generals
Who fought the war behind the lines
They had forgotten all the soldiers
The brandy puts them way behind the times
Insanity has found its way to TV screens
Vision seems impossible to me
They fight for king and country
I never would have thought this in my
Wildest dreams
Wildest dreams
Wildest dreams
Wildest dreams
The evening comes, we sit and watch the VJs
Clips and rushes come from, who knows where
From Washington across to California
With fighting breaking out in Leicester Square
We see the soldiers moving on to victory
And children trampled under marching feet
They fight for king and country
How many millions will they put to sleep?
Wildest dreams
Wildest dreams
Wildest dreams
Wildest dreams
Fly away
No, not in this world
No, not in the next
No, not in my wildest dreams
They recommended euthanasia
For non-conformers anywhere
Some men's dreams for others turn to nightmares
This never would have happened in their
Wildest dreams
Wildest dreams
Wildest dreams
Wildest dreams
Fly away
No, not in this world
No, not in the next
Whenever your shadow falls on stony ground
And there's not a hand for you to hold
Whenever the dreams you dream come crashing down
Every time you think of home
Remember that you're not alone
And we'll be with you heart and soul
Wherever you are
And if you should lose the path along the way
And find yourself walking in the dark
Whenever the ones you love seem far away
Every time you think of home
Remember that you're not alone
And we'll be with you heart and soul
Wherever you are
Whenever the fears you hide come reaching through
Every time you think of home
Remember that you're not alone
And we'll be with you heart and soul
Every time you think of home
Remember that you're not alone
And we'll be with you heart and soul
And we'll be with you heart and soul
We'll be with you heart and soul
Wherever you are, wherever you are
We're with you heart and soul
We're with you heart and soul
We're with you heart and soul
We're with you heart and soul
We're with you heart and soul
We're with you heart and soul
We're with you heart and soul
Was a dark day through old eyes again
As the flames rise to lick blue wounds again
See the chrome claw kiss the black sky into again
Hear the pin fall like a steel fist on stone again
When we were young, we were strong
We'd belong, close at heart
So in time, as the powers dies
We must belong, till we fall
We fall apart
In the neon dawn we will rise again
From the thin shell deep inside the wall
When we were young, we were strong
We'd belong, close at heart
So in time, as the powers dies
We must belong, till we fall
We fall apart
When we were young, we were strong
We'd belong, close at heart
So in time, as the powers dies
We must belong, till we fall
I heard you on the radio, some other time
From some forgotten studio, way down the lines
So long, so long I've waited now, to hear you again
That song, that song will still remain, it's become a friend
And now, the tears are in my eyes, the sound you can't disguise
The truth comes back from lies, and all I want to hear
Voice of America, oh America
Voice of America, oh America
And then you came in stereo, calling to me
And so I watch the videos, across the TV
That sound, still ringing in my ears, from a decade ago
Around, around my head, the sound from my radio
I thought, that after all these year, the tears of the growing fears
That I would never hear, never again
Voice of America, oh America
Voice of America, oh America
Voice of America, oh America
Don't tell me what you are
Don't tell me what you're after
Don't tell me what you want
Don't tell me what you need
Aren't you just the one to always point the finger?
I don't care for you 'cos you don't care for me
Bring me down
Bring me down
I could breathe, I could fly
The day before you came
Think you own my skin now
Break the chains, free the slave
Turn the tides against you
Talking to the sky you promise evolution
Progression of the mind by selling of the soul
The last will be the first in the dust of revolution
Someone cares for me but no one cares for you
Bring me down
Bring me down
U bring me down, you're giving me no hope
(Bring me down)
Sucking off our land, blowing off the smoke
Virus in the veins that run into the sea
Poisoning the world with your generosity
U bring me down, you're killing me with lies
(Bring me down)
You take away our ears won't take away my eyes
The red, red sea will return into the vein
Will I breathe? Will I see?
Far beneath the clearest stream
To the deepest ocean
Break the chains, free the slaves
Give back the blood, that you claim from this world now
U bring me down, you're giving me no hope
(Bring me down)
Sucking off our land, blowing off the smoke
Virus in the veins that run into the sea
Poisoning the world with your generosity
U bring me down, you're killing me with lies
(Bring me down)
You take away our ears won't take away my eyes
The red, red sea will return into the vein
Covering the world, are you happy with your gain?
U bring me down, you're giving me no hope
(Bring me down)
Sucking off our land, blowing off the smoke
Virus in the veins that run into the sea
Poisoning the world with your generosity
U bring me down, you're killing me with lies
(Bring me down)
You take away our ears won't take away my eyes
The red, red sea will return into the vein
Covering the world, are you happy with your gain?
U bring me down, you're giving me no hope
(Bring me down)
Sucking off our land, blowing off the smoke
Virus in the veins that run into the sea
Poisoning the world with your generosity
U bring me down, you're killing me with lies
(Bring me down)
You take away our ears won't take away my eyes
The red, red sea will return into the vein
Took the ground,
From underneath my feet.
Silent town,
Ghosts this empty street.
I see the home that once was mine,
Now just bones of former life.
Touch this page of sacred time, again,
I see you call...
You don't have to be strong for me.
I won't shoot your defences down.
Whatever happens, I want you to see
We can face it together.
And turn it around.
A new life
Grows within his hands.
Coming back
To this promised land.
And with these bones we will rebuild,
To the flesh of future life.
Giving back that sacred time, again...
You don't have to be strong for me.
I won't shoot your defences down.
Whatever happens, I want you to see,
We can face it together.
This evening really came as some surprise
It showed me just how little faith
I think back when you couldn't criticize
You sure were glad to see my face
True colors, giving away your lies
True colors, seeing them in your eyes
True colors, giving away your lies
True colors, seeing them in your eyes, eyes
For you the tables turn full circle now
And all those people you call friends
See who defends you when you're down again
Don't count on money-spinners then
True colors, maybe you'll see them then
True colors, twisting the knife again
True colors, maybe you'll see them then
True colors, twisting the knife again
You did what you wanted to do
I lived to fight another day
And I know what I want you to do
Just pack your bags and get away
Away
Away
Away
Away
True colors, giving away your lies
True colors, seeing them in your eyes
True colors, giving away your lies
I say, no way
You've gone and stepped across that fine line
I cried, you lied
I tried, maybe a thousand times before
I can't take no more
Too late
You let the sun go down
Too late
You changed direction
Too late
For you to turn around
We tried everything
Move on, so long
Two side to every story
You told, good nights
Bad days, time to go our separate ways
I can't say no more
Too late
You let the sun go down
Too late
You changed direction
Too late
For you to turn around
We tried everything
Too late
You let the sun go down
Too late
You changed direction
Too late
For you to turn around
We tried everything
Too late
Listen Away
Too late
Listen Away
Too late
Listen Away
Too late
Listen Away
Too late
You let the sun go down
Too late
You changed direction
Too late
For you to turn around
Too late
You let the sun go down
Too late
Too late
For you to turn around
Too late
Too late
Too late
Too late
Too late
Hey you, you're walking down a new york street
Feel the tension in the midday heat
You're walking on blood
Tv, it's all there on a japanese screen
East, west, there's no in between
Now, we just love "the reds"
Everything is now because the past is dead
You've got to look forward if you want to get ahead
What kind of person sells a young person drugs?
You bring them up good but don't call them thugs
Third world stories, well they make the news
It's a five minute wonder, call it...
Satellite blues
Any way the wind blows
Dive, dive! underground is just the place to be
So cool, it keeps the city clean
Now walk on by
I said "walk, walk, don't run!"
Don't you know you've got to follow the signs?
This life's so cruel, so cruel to be kind
It's a one-way street
You've got to live on the edge just to make a big deal
This life's big fun, man, it's like a roulette wheel
What kind of world would let these children die?
There's so much money we could all retire
We could all live happily if we choose
But it's a five minute wonder, call it...
Satellite blues
When you wake, I'll be gone
Just a space, an empty chair
And I know, I was wrong
Just one more time, then I'll be gone
Who stopped the sky from falling?
Who held you back from harm?
Who stood as walls were falling?
A call still guides us on
Chorus:
It's a sad situation
And no one's to blame
I'ts a sad situation
Now you're gone
It's a sad situation
Which someday may change
It's a sad situation
Now you're gone
In the dawn, turn the page
We stand alone, as the lions rage
I suppose we'll move on
A fight of minds, that still breathe strong
Who stopped the sky from falling?
Who held you back from harm?
Who held you close when hurting?
Who keeps the doves of hope?
Nothing ventured, nothing gained
Tired and washed out by the pain
Do we share this problem, will it slip away?
Do we fight another day?
Was I looking for a friend?
One I count on 'til the end
Is there something that I didn't do?
Does it all begin with you?
So how did I, oh I
Give you reason?
How did I, oh I
Give you reason?
After all the fallen tears
When we wake the token dream
Who let the water slowly draw away?
All the colors that we made
So how did I, oh I
Give you reason?
So turn and walk away
How did I, oh I
Give you reason?
To give you reason, to change the river's flow
To give you reason, to point the bone
To give you reason, to set your spirit free
I don't know, I don't know why
So how did I, oh I
Give you reason?
Is there nothing I can say?
Is there nothing I can do, girl?
I didn't mean to break your life
Didn't mean to burn your world, no
How did I, oh I
Give you reason?
How did I, oh I
Give you reason?
You can keep the silver band
You can have the memories, girl
Now as Pilate cleans the hands
It's no more to do with me, no
How did I, oh I
Give you reason?
How did I, oh I
Give you reason?

"what passing-bells for these who die as cattle?
- only the monstrous anger of the guns.
Only the stuttering rifles' rapid rattle
Can patter out their hasty orisons.
No mockeries now for them; no prayers nor bells;
Nor any voice of mourning save the choirs, -
The shrill, demented choirs of wailing shells;
And bugles calling for them from sad shires."
(wilfred owen, 1918)
Now the day has run
When the cover comes
But any fool can see
Ahead
Silence is my friend
But it has to end
Any fool can see
Ahead
It's the longest night
It's the longest night
Cold winds may blow
On the longest night
So we write our letters
To those far away
Any fool can see
Ahead
The distant sound of thunder
A choir of wailing shells
Any fool can see
Ahead
It's the longest night
It's the longest night
Cold winds may blow
On the longest night
I don't want to fight
I don't know who's right
Cold winds they blow
On this longest night
It's the longest night
It's the longest night
Cold winds may blow
On this longest night
He kept it all inside - alive and screaming
Tears were not his style, his pride was leading
I watched the light dancing on the sea
As it turned to grey
Oh, how I wish that the tide would soon return
Someday, someday
I've a right to cry
That's not giving in
Scars from you and i, scars we kept within
There's a right to cry, it's not giving up
With my right to cry, now I've had enough
It's hard to break the bones of life, of living
A side you'll never show, let go, don't need it
Hold on, hold on, hold on
I can see in your eyes and I know how you're going to feel
I watched the light dancing on the sea
As it turned to grey
Oh, how I wish that the tide would soon return
Someday, someday
I've a right to cry
That's not giving in
Scars from you and i, scars we kept within
There's a right to cry, it's not giving up
Tomorrow the world will seem a little clearer
The planets align, and all will be revealed
Don't question it all, your dream is getting nearer
And you can tell the world just how you feel,
Oh...
The spinning roulette wheel
The lap of the gods
The odds are so good now
But the goods are all very odd
Tomorrow the world will be more simpatico
Tomorrow the world won't make you feel so small
Whenever the world is threatening to be so
Just wrap it all up, and throw it like a ball
The eye of a black cat
One turn of a card
A foot of a rabbit
And your world is falling apart
Just think what you can do
You can turn it around
You do what you have to
And you will be standing your ground
Don't walk away, don't you give up
Don't walk away, and please don't cry
Or say goodbye...
A dollar will get you ten that you'll be happy
But is that really all that you can see
The planet will not have changed but one iota
For as I give, the world will give to me...
Four leaves of a shamrock
May be your best shot
Your ship is in dry dock
'Cos you'll never be what you're not
Don't walk away, don't you give up
Don't walk away, and please don't cry
Fate looks certain but there's nothing guaranteed
Want for nothing, but is nothing what you need?
Always pushing but you're never satisfied
I did believe you 'til I found out that you lied
{chorus}
Time and time again
Time and time again again
For what I give you I get nothing in return
Can't forgive you watching all your bridges burn
All day long I sat and watched you do it wrong
Have to say that's how you did it all along
{chorus}
But others wouldn't see things you could only see
And someone showed you that I wasn't only me
You knew the limit you were always out of bounds
How could I trust you when I caught you messing 'round
When the doubts you have begin to show
When the winds of change begin to blow your dream away
As the winter cold can touch the bone
And like a crowd, voices in your mind
But as the thunder dies, you're standing on your own
Even in your darkest night
When the shadows hide the guiding light that leads the way alone
And heaven seems to turn it's head
Sometimes, to break away the ties
You have to find the strength to carry on
Fight against the tide
To cut the hardest stone
Fight against the tide
The blood begins to flow
Hold on, through the storm could take your life
Be strong and you will survive
You won't give in
Even though the walls around you fall
No don't give in
Still the flames alive
'till the end of time
And so you fight against the tide
When the doubts you have begin to show
When the winds of change begin to blow your dream away
When the fire has left your soul
Look straight ahead
In the face of fear
Take on the world and all it has to give
Fight against the tide
To cut the hardest stone
Fight against the tide
The blood begins to flow
Hold on, through the storm could take your life
Many days I've traveled, but I know not where I'm going to
I'm lost, lost along the way
From Mexico to Paris, always the same solitary circle
In an empty cafe
Their faces were so empty, meaningless and negative to me
I could have died
The bodies and the strangers reflected in their glasses as they drank
Not seeing eye to eye
Ride easy my friends, this journey ends
Before it begins
Ride easy my friends, this story ends
Before it begins
Long dead winter, when I thought that spring would never come again
Melting the snow
Many days I've reveled, evenings through to mornings through to evenings
With nothing to show
Ride easy my friends, this journey ends
Before it begins
Ride easy my friends, this story ends
Before it begins, oh
Their faces were so empty, meaningless and negative to me
I could have died
The bodies and the strangers, reflected in their glasses as they drank
Not seeing eye to eye
Many days I've traveled, going 'round in social circles lost
Lost along the way
Many nights I've reveled, but I thought I saw the message in a bottle
And drifting away
Ride easy my friends, this journey ends
Before it begins
Ride easy my friends, this story ends
The battlefield, the smoke has cleared
Silence in sight, the blood lies deep
Look from the hills, the valley calls
Six hundred fall, a lost to all
Someday, somewhere, ever calling
One time, one life, ever falling
Chorus:
And will you remember
The flowers in the fields?
And will you remember
The loss of one so dear
And will you remember
Through the mist of lies?
Remember
Their spirit never dies
Remember
Out of the skies, and into the green
Fuelled by the lies, paid by soul
Soldire, hero, well 'uncle sam'
He don't wanna know
It's down your wire, it's on your screen
Pirate satellite, next to MTV
Insert your hand, subscription free
It's reality
Put on the suit, connect the chord
Free mind of city life, just ecstasy
Don't block the flow, only you can see
Your reality
And as the programme runs surely to the screen
You can't hold back, you're in
Reality - so virtual
Reality - machinery
Designed by me, but physical
Reality, just anything you want to see
Is it wrong it's in your mind
Banned by the chosen ones, how they rule your life
Exit that page, enter brave new world
From reality
And as the programme runs surely to the screen
You can't hold back, you're in
Reality - so virtual
Reality - machinery
Designed by me, but physical
On the street below these walls
Where I used to walk, now I can barely crawl
All this darkness rising tall
Lord, shine a light for me I'm waiting to be called
I'm ready to go home
I'm ready to receive
Forgiveness for my sins
I'm ready to begin
Take this river to the sea
Where the delta flows, the tide is washing over me
Guide this soul to Heaven's door
Show me where tomorrow lies, I'm waiting to be home
I'm ready to lay down
I'm ready now to sleep
A promise I must keep
I'm ready to go home
Sometimes I lay down with these memories
Breathe shallow, deep inside of me
And time has run its course with me
And I'm ready to go home
When the evening shadows fall
When the time has come, I let defenses fall
To surrenders to survive
I will give up everything to those I leave behind
I'm ready to go home
I'm ready to receive
Forgiveness for my sins
I'm ready to begin
I'm ready to lay down
I'm ready now to sleep
A promise I must keep
So many faces in my life and time
Couldn't change the way I feel
I was hard wired to forgot
To live and love with no regret
And when I stumbled in the darkest night
Just when I thought that there could be no light
You came along, and you should know
Look in my eyes, the truth will show...
I'll be faithful, that's what I do
Ever faithful, my aim is true
Wherever you may go, you'll always know
Faithful, I'll be with you
I've been a stray all of my life, you see
I thought nothing would ever change for me
Now I've found you, here I stay
May it always be that way...
'Cause
I'll be faithful, that's what I do
Ever faithful, my aim is true
Wherever you may go, you'll always know
Faithful, I'll be with you
You came along and you should know
Midnight, firelight
Sympathy
Hold on, sit tight
Talk to me
Tell me, 'cause I know how you feel
You're destined, you, to hold on to
The fear inside
So let it go, with tears that flow
Purified
'Cos I know, I know how you feel
Yeah I know, I know how you feel
Somehow we find ourselves
Where others will not dare to go
Our lives become intertwined
Now you know this will always be so...
Daybreak, this heartache
Will be gone
Black clouds will clear, then disappear
Here comes the sun
I know, I know how you feel
Yeah I know, I know how you feel
It's alright, it's okey
Just lean on me
Trust me, and you'll see
How it can be
Tell me, I know how you feel
Yeah I know, I know how you feel
I know, exactly how you feel
Now it's time to put the past behin us
I want to see you shining like the sun
Always reaching higher keep it all in mind
Now we got to take it all the way today
'Cause I'm a runner with the wind
I'm a gypsy soul
I am calling you again
Now it's time to go
I'm a runner with the wind
I'm a gypsy soul
There will always be tomorrow
Gypsy soul
I hear you say you want to stay with me now
There comes a day when you know witch way to turn
Not very far until we're finally home
It's time for us to head on down that road again
'Cause I'm a runner with the wind
I'm gypsy soul
I am calling you again
Now it's time to go
I'm a runner with the wind
I'm a gypsy soul
There will always be tomorrow
I'm a gypsy soul
Gypsy soul
Gypsy soul
To only you and I
(Payne/Downes)
Kelly stands by the water
With a gun in her hand
She won't believe in the future
In a world made by man
There's nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide
With so much to say and no time
Have we gone too far?
In a world so scarred
Have we gone too far?
Dream away
Joseph stands in the desert
With a gun in his hand
Brother still killing brother
Cold within this eastern land
There's nowhere to run
There's nowhere to hide
With so much to do and no time
Have we gone too far?
In a world so scarred
Have we gone too far?
Dream away
Gone too far
In a world so scarred
Have we gone too far?
Dream away
There must be some other way
A hundred years from green to grey
Close my eyes I'm safe today
Blindly fade away
Gone too far
In a world so scarred
Have we gone too far?
Dream away
(Payne/Downes/Sherwood)
I've been hearing voices
Voices in my head
Can't escape the noises
Lying in my bed
The winter nights grow colder
The darkness falls too soon
I will hide till morning
How silent is this moon?
Just one look and I will find
Someone else on the other side
A trick of light or the darker mind
Ghost in the mirror
And as the dawn is waking
The shadows burn away
The sun reborn the savior
The safety of the day
Just one look and I will find
Someone else on the other side
A trick of light or the darker mind
Ghost in the mirror
The darkness calls me
The shadows fool me
Is it safe on the other side?
Is this my future?
If it's a dream why can't I wake?
Just one look and I will find
Someone else on the other side
A trick of light or the darker mind
It seems such a long year
Since our eyes last met.
You were a lone child,
I have no regrets.
Oh, you know sometimes how I wonder,
If I am a fool.
The rocks that are pulling me under
Are heading a fall.
Dont be afraid
Youre not alone, now
By the guard of angels
A new rock will rise
As mountains cut sky, now
Heaven knows
Never, never,
I could never lose my faith in you
(could I ever break my faith to you)
Never, never,
Will I ever turn my back on you
You must be strong now
And stand as a man.
As I will be leaving,
Leaving this land.
Sometimes I wonder,
If I am a fool.
The rocks that are pulling me under
Are heading a fall.
Time and tide,
Are the dreams that come and go,
They wait for no man on the shore.
Should you step,
In the same dark river twice,
Let it wash the sins away,
Is there time at hand,
With so much to say?
And I know, it's a different world today,
And I know, to another God we pray,
And I know, we're in different worlds today.
Here I stand,
My philosophy held high,
Like a preacher in a foreign land.
And here we walk,
In the wilderness of sands,
With the prophet and the holy man.
Is there time at hand,
With so much to say?
And I know, it's a different world today,
And I know, to another God we pray,
And I know, we're in different worlds today,
And I know, it's a different world today.
They're burning the book, they're burning the faith,
Our dream will be over,
Let's wake from the sleep, a legion we'll be,
To live forever.
I know I as wrong, I have to put it right,
I just can't let it slip away,
'cause it's a different world today.
Different world, different world, different world today,
I'll go whichever way the winds blow
It's hard to swim against the tide
The willow bends in a tornado
The oak will shatter as it dies
Save me, and give me the peace to surrender at last
When I'm gone, do this thing for me
For this is my final day, and you know I would not joke
So bury me in willow, not in oak
Give me no standard, no eulogy
No red, white and blue, no sceptre and no cloak
Just bury me in willow, not in oak
A life of conflict was unending
Collision, damage, disarray
So blind, intolerant, unbending
Just let me die a different way
Free me, 'n' give me the beautiful silence at last
When I'm gone, do this thing for me
For this is my final day, and you know I would not joke
So bury me in willow, not in oak
Give me no standard, no eulogy
No red, white and blue, no sceptre and no cloak
Standing alone in solitude
Holding your head in your hands
Tears play like rain on your fingertips
Who but yourself is to blame?
How could I offer sympathy?
When all I feel is pure rejection
I was the first one to really know your name
You were the first one for me
But everyone knew but me
You were the first one to ever let me down
And I was just the last to know
I was the fool who trusted you
No evil thoughts in my mind
When I saw you going out with him
Who could I blame, for this deception?
I was the first one to really know your name
You were the first one for me
But everyone knew but me
You were the first one to ever let me down
And I was just the last to know
I was the first one to really know your name
You were the first one for me
But everyone knew but me
You were the first one to ever let me down
And I was just the last to know
I was the first one to really know your name
You were the first one for me
But everyone knew but me
You were the first one to ever let me down
And I was just the last to know
I was the first one to really know your name
You were the first one for me
But everyone knew but me
You were the first one to ever let me down
It don't come easy, that's understood
Faint-hearted loser, that's no good
Just take a lesson from the great mohammed
He said... he said...
Pick up a rifle, you must be strong
To take a title, can be so long
If you believe, you can't go wrong
I said... I said...
He's a fighter, he's my friend,
Always winning in the end,
He's no angel, he's no fool,
Never plays it by the rule,
Take the glory, steal the prize,
Only the hunter, only the hunter
You took your chances, you hurt your pride
A sense of failure, is hard to hide
You crossed the limit, you broke the code
Back on the road... remember?
He's a rival, he's my friend,
Always winning in the end,
He's a tiger, he's a swan,
He's the one I'm counting on,
To take the glory, steal the prize,
Only the hunter, only the hunter survives
I'm on the outside, I'm looking in
Through the lenses, then into film
I've got the target set in my sights
I see a vision of truth... look out!
We're gonna fight until we drop,
We're gonna get back to the top,
We're gonna be the first in line,
Winners till the end of time
Only the hunter, only the hunter,
Only the hunter, only the hunter,
You walk tall, got your head in the clouds
You talk soft but you're thinkin' aloud
And you know exactly what you want
You talk shy, you're hard to get
You got the face that I can't forget
And I know, I know the heat goes on
I know that the heat goes on
I know that the heat goes on
You play tight, you're nobody's fool
You're not cold but I know that you're cool
Look at you, I know the heat goes on
Now tell me with your hand on your heart
That you knew you were right from the start
And you're sure you felt it all along
You know that the heat goes on
You know that the heat goes on
Times to decide, times that I've lied
Problems will never be solved
Which way is wrong, which could be right?
This heat will always go on, on and on
You walk tall, got your head in the clouds
You talk soft but you're thinkin' aloud
And you know exactly what you want
You talk shy, you're hard to get
You got the face that I'll never forget
You and I know, we know the heat goes on
You know that the heat goes on
You know that the heat goes on
You know that the heat goes on
I told her, I'd hold her
All through that first cold winter
Defend her, protect her
From our darkest demons
Then spring came, our world changed
We found a different corner
Still heading, still searching
For what we had that season
I thought I was so strong, a man on a blue mountain
The sword in my hand, but my thoughts in the clouds then
See them
Hear them
I would never change another day
If that season was the one to stay
I swear I'd never change another day
Ten years now, I've waited
For that coldest winter
No whiter, no wiser
And all we hear is thunder
I thought I was so strong, a father on a mountain
The sword in my hand, but my thoughts in the clouds then
See them
Hear them
I would never change another day
If that season was the one to stay
I swear I'd never change another day
(repeat)
Ten years now, I've waited
For that coldest winter
No wiser, no whiter
Tears in my eyes
Tears in my eyes
Feeling like there's nothing left to say
Maybe I should wait for another day, one more day
Tried to find myself, but now you're gone
I had to find the strength to carry on, carry on
Ghosts of love will come, now the light is gone
Haunting my soul, never letting go
Losing you would always be my fear
Never knowing if you'd still be here, still be here
Remembering the words you said to me
Saying that you had to set me free, set me free
Run through the fields like a child who's closing the door
(Lonely like the wind)
You're feeling the wind, now the sun don't shine
(Echoes back again)
Tears in my eyes, how they fall like rain to the floor
(Ghosts of love will come)
Where do you go when the summer's gone?
(Now the light is gone)
Walking away is the same as closing the door
(Haunting my soul)
Can you look at the sky when the sun don't shine?
(Never letting go)
Look in my eyes, you can see my dreams on the floor
(Through my broken dreams)
Where do I go now the summer is gone?
(Hear you calling me)
Tears in my eyes, how they fall like rain to the floor
(Ghosts of love will come)
Where do you go when the summer's gone?
(Now the light is gone)
Walking away is the same as closing the door
(Haunting my soul)
Can you look at the sky when the sun don't shine?
(Never letting go)
Look in my eyes, you can see my dreams on the floor
(Through my broken dreams)
Where do I go now the summer is gone?
(Hear you calling me)
Run through the fields like a child who's closing the door
(Lonely like the wind)
You're feeling the wind, now the sun don't shine
(Echoes back again)
Tears in my eyes, how they fall like rain to the floor
(Ghosts of love will come)
Where do you go when the summer's gone?
(Now the light is gone)
Walking away is the same as closing the door
(Haunting my soul)
Can you look at the sky when the sun don't shine?
(Never letting go)
Look in my eyes, you can see my dreams on the floor
(Through my broken dreams)
Where do I go now the summer is gone?
Where were you yesterday?
I called you up, no one answered
The phone rings now
All the time I pick it up
No one answers
I know it seems like I just can't go ahead
Sometimes it's like holding a gun to my head
I get the green light but I'm still seeing red
Somethin' I can't stand
Suspicion
In the park yesterday
I saw a face that spelled danger
Friendly smile, a worried look
I mistook for a stranger
I keep on fighting and I know I can't win
Something's biting me, I'll never give in
Coming back to me again and again
The message in my hand
Suspicion, suspicion
Eating away at me, it won't let go
Suspicion is following, everywhere I go
He walks before me, he's someone that I don't know
Suspicion, suspicion
Where were you yesterday?
I'm looking at your photograph
The picture on my wall
Life's too short for memories
I can't have it all
You gave me the run around
So we go our own sweet ways
I'll be making the most of summertime
Crazy nights and lazy days
Summer can't last too long
Summer can't last too long
Spring, winter or fall but out of 'em all
The summer can't last too long
One night can seem a lifetime
And I've got no more time to lose
Sunshine on my shoulders
Kissing away my blues, ohh
Summer can't last too long
Summer can't last too long
Spring, winter or fall but out of them all
The summer can't last too long, ohh
Summer can't last too long
Summer can't last too long
Spring, winter or fall but out of them all
The summer can't last too long
(Ooo ooh)
Ohh ohh, oh ohh ohh oh ohh
(Ooo ooh)
Looking to the future
Searching for the girl
Not too much like the last one
Just the prettiest in the world
Summer can't last too long
Summer can't last too long
Spring, winter or fall but out of them all
The summer can't last too long
Yea, yea
Summer can't last too long
Summer can't last too long
Spring, winter or fall but out of them all
The summer can't last too long
(Ooo ooh ooh)
Summer can't last too long
Summer can't last too long
(Ooo ooh ooh, ooo ooh ooh)
Summer can't last too long
Summer can't last too long
(Ooo ooh ooh, ooo ooh ooh)
(Ooo ooh ooh, ooo ooh ooh)
Don't want to live in another world
Don't want to dream of another girl
That's the way it was meant to be, oh oh
I couldn't sleep through the lonely night
I just cried till the morning
It's not the way it was meant to be
Someday you may find somebody else
Someday love may shine on you
Someday you may find the one
You didn't leave me, you ran away
Couldn't face what you had to say
It's not the way it was meant to be, no no
Now you can live in your other world
Me, I've found me another girl
And that's the way that it has meant to be
Someday you may find somebody else
Someday love may shine on you
Someday you may find the one
When I dream, I dream of one world
But I know there's no such place
If I could ever find that one girl
In my world, in my world
Someday, someday, someday
Someday you may find somebody else
Someday love may shine on you
Someday you may find the one
Someday you may find somebody else
Someday love may shine on you
When I ran the hounds of hell
twist my foot L I nearly fell.
I was lucky
I was alive - one look back
I could have died.
I was the sole survivor
sole survivor
Sole survivor
solitary fighter.
When I saw it
I was amazed. One time glory right in my gaze.
I saw the sorrow
I saw the joy -
Light in the darkness
none could destroy.
I am the sole survivor
sole survivor
. . .
And from the wreckage I will arise.
Cast the ashes back in their eyes.
See the fire I will defend
just keep on burnin' right to the end.
I'd be the sole survivor
sole survivor
. . .
Sole survivor
sole survivor
(Payne/Downes)
Shake the hand of time
With the builders of stone
Are you recognized?
You're not going home
Have to find a hideaway
So turn up the neighbors
The eagle is listening today
It's not up to me
To change what has been done
It's not up to me
A speechless world looks on
It just has to be!
Silent nation
No longer have a name
A number will do
Cutting the wires of doom
'Cos they're watching you
Raging in thought
Mouthless, the millions obey
So call off your dogs
You preachers of what we can say
It's not up to me
To change what has been done
It's not up to me
A speechless world looks on
It just has to be!
Silent nation
In a silent nation
We must change what has been done
It's a travesty
Silent nation
It's not up to me
To change what has been done
It's not up to me
A speechless world looks on
It just has to be!
She cried to the southern wind
About love that was sure to end
Every dream in her heart was gone
She's headin' for a showdown
She cried to the southern wind
About love that was sure to end
Every dream in her heart was gone
Headin' for a showdown
Bad dreamer, what's your name
Looks like we're ridin' on the same train
Looks like though there'll be more pain
There's gonna be a showdown
And it's rainin' all over the world
It's rainin' all over the world
Tonight's the longest night
She came to me like a friend
She blew in on a southern wind
Now my heart is turned to stone again
There's gonna be a showdown
Save me, oh, save me
It's unreal the suffering
There's gonna be a showdown
And it's rainin' all over the world
It's rainin' all over the world
It's rainin' all over the world
Tonight's the longest night
Rainin', rainin
Rainin', rainin
Rainin', rainin
Rainin' all over the world
Yes, it's rainin' all over the world
Tonight's the longest night
Rainin' all over the world
Rainin' all over the world
Tonight's the longest night
Tonight, she came to me
She came to me
She came to me
Bad dreamer, what's your name
She came to me
She came to me
Shadow of a Doubt
(Wetton/Downes)
Words trip from my tongue
Saying be strong, always be strong
Scenes flash past my eyes
Telling me here is where we belong
If you believe, what I believe
Then were home,
Yeah, were home
I should have seen it coming
I could have worked it out
Your feminine mentality
Reveals the things I cannot see
I should have seen it coming
I could have worked it out
The danger signs have left my mind,
Its way beyond a
SHADOW OF A DOUBT
So, it wont be long
Stay with me now, this can't be wrong
Its our right, to fly to the stars
Just for one night, this world is ours
If you believe what I believe
Then were home
Yeah, were home
I should have seen it coming
I could have worked it out
Your feminine mentality
Reveals the things I cannot see
I should have seen it coming
I could have worked it out
The danger signs have left my mind,
Its way beyond a
I've been flat out of luck
Spent my very last buck
Can't sink no lower than this
I'm so broken inside
Had to spit out my pride
This ain't no way to exist
Every place that I go
Everyone that I meet
Sees me like I'm some dog in the street
And it's bringing me down to my knees
Now I'm prayin', prayin'
Prayin' for a miracle
I'm prayin', prayin'
Prayin' for a miracle
Prayin' for a miracle
Since I left you that night
Less than nothing's gone right
Living this hell that I made
So I'm back at your feet
I'm admitting defeat
Girl, I never felt so afraid
Just give back my life
I admit my mistakes
Now I'm willing to do whatever it takes
I'm begging you now, can't you see
That I'm prayin', prayin'
Prayin' for a miracle
Prayin', prayin'
Prayin' for a miracle
Prayin' for a miracle
Don't walk away
'Cause I know I'm still worth saving
Can you forgive the way
I turned my back on you
And I'm prayin', prayin'
Prayin' for a miracle
Prayin', prayin'
Prayin' for a miracle
Prayin', prayin'
Prayin' for a miracle
(Prayin' for a miracle)
Prayin', prayin'
Prayin' for a miracle
(Prayin' for a miracle)
Prayin', prayin'
Prayin' for a miracle
(Prayin' for a miracle)
Prayin', prayin'
Prayin' for a miracle
(Prayin' for a miracle)
Prayin', prayin'
If our only chance was in today
Let it lift us up above someway
As the evening shadows fall
I?ll confide in you once more
Over, over and over again
We will resolve our true destiny
Only through love our passage guaranteed
Let it lift me up above
We are on a journey to where we can?t be sure
When we are as one it opens every door
I don?t want to take you across the great divide
This horizon?s nearer much easier to find
Don't taint this ground with the color of the past
Are the sounds in bloom with you?
Cause you feel like an orchard of mines
Just take one step at a time
And you seem to break like time
So fragile on the inside, you climb these grapevines
Would you look now unto the pit of me on the ground
And you wander through these to climb these grapevines...
I'll say it to be proud, won't have my life turn upside down
Says the man with some, with some gold forged plan
Of life so incomplete, like weights strapped around my feet
Tread careful one step at a time
And you seem to break like time
So fragile on the inside, you climb these grapevines
Would you look now unto the pit of me on the ground
And you wander through these to climb these grapevines...
To know, to feel, to play me once again
Do you denote from what we feel
Do you not know, i see you play the game
Do you denote...
La flama niposa, la ombra dispare
La noce immortale, la voce murmure
To know, to feel, to play me once again
Do you denote...
Do you not know, i see you play the game
What on earth are you doing here, in the western world?
Another situation yeah, you?re a different girl
You have lived your life dreaming, you were someone else
Succeeding?s, believing in yourself
Open your eyes
And see the world that stands before you now
Open your eyes
And see the world that stands in front of you
You have spent your days, trying for something new
You have looked at magazine girls, wishing that they were you
Do you see in photographs, an angel that once was you?
Does she tell you stories that are true?
Open your eyes
And see the world that stands before you now
Open your eyes
And see the world that stands in front of you
If I could stand with you right now and speak my mind
I would tell you no lies
I would shoot straight between the eyes
You have stared a thousand times, right into the lens
Have you ever thought just once, does it all make sense?
Your beauty?s eternal, so don?t just pretend
Got to wake up girl, or it?s the end
Open your eyes
And see the world that stands before you now
Open your eyes
And see the world that stands in front of you
Open your eyes
And see the world that stands before you now
Open your eyes
And see the world that stands in front of you
Open your eyes
Open your eyes
Open your eyes
You're leaving now it's in your eyes
There's no disguising it
It really comes as no surprise
To find that you planned it all along
I see it now becomes so clear
Your insincerity
And me all starry eyed
You think that I would have known by now
Now sure as the sun will cross the sky
This lie is over
Lost like the tears that used to tide
Me over
(Only time will tell)
One thing is sure
That time will tell
(Only time will tell)
If you were wrong
The brightest ring around the moon
Will darken when I die
Now sure as the sun will cross the sky
The lie is over
Gone like the tears that used to tide
Me over
You're leaving now it's in your eyes
There's no disguising it
It really comes as no surprise
To find that you planned it all along
(Only time will tell)
I see it now
Becomes so clear
(Only time will tell)
Your insincerity
And me all starry eyed
You think that I would have known by now
Now sure as the sun will cross the sky
This lie is over
Lost like the tears that used to tide
Me over
(Over, over, over)
(Only time will tell)
You're on your own
Inside your room
(Only time will tell)
You're claiming victory
You were just using me
And there is no one you can use now
(Only time will tell)
One thing is sure
That time will tell
Loneliness, a constant friend and lover
I know well
Crowded rooms the iron bar
That surround me
Trying hard to catch your eye
Just once, you see
Knowing from this moment if you did
We could be
{chorus}
One step closer
Closer than we are
One step closer
Closer than before
So many lines, you've heard them all
A lie in every one
From men who never understand
Your personality
And though we never even met
No talking needs to be done
The hum of conversation will disolve you
Into me
{chorus x2}
