One world is enough, for all of us One world is enough, for all of us It's a subject we rarely mention But when we do we have this little invention By pretending they're a different world from me I show my responsibility One world is enough, for all of us One world is enough, for all of us The third world breathes our air tomorrow We live on the time we borrow In our world there's no time for sorrow In their world there is no tomorrow One world is enough, for all of us One world is enough, for all of us Lines are drawn upon the world Before we get our flags unfurled Whichever one we pick It's just a self deluding trick One world is enough, for all of us One world is enough, for all of us I don't want to bring a sour note Remember this before you vote We can all sink or we all float 'Cause we're all in the same big boat One world is enough for all of us One world is enough for all of us One world is enough for all of us One world is enough for all of us It may seem a million miles away But it gets a little closer everyday It may seem a million miles away But it gets a little closer everyday

There's a moon over
Bourbon Street tonight I see faces as they pass beneath the pale lamplight I've no choice but to follow that call The bright lights the people and the moon and all I pray everyday to be strong For I know what I do must be wrong Oh you'll never see my shade or hear the sound of my feet While there's a moon over Bourbon Street It was many years ago that I became what I am I was trapped in this life like an innocent lamb Now I can never show my face at noon And you'll only see me walking by the light of the moon The brim of my hat hides the eye of a beast I've the face of a sinner but the hands of a priest Oh you'll never see my shade or hear the sound of my feet While there's a moon over Bourbon Street She walks everyday through the streets of New Orleans She's innocent and young from a family of means I have stood many times outside her window at night To struggle with my instinct in the pale moon light How could I be this way when I pray to God above I must love what I destroy and destroy the thing I love Oh you'll never see my shade or hear the sound of my feet While there's a moon over Bourbon Street |

Now that I have found you
In the coolth of your evening smile The shade of your parasol And your love flows through me Though I drink at your pool I burn for you I burn for You and I are lovers When night time folds around our bed In peace we sleep entwined And your love flows through me Though an ocean soothes my head I burn for you I burn for Stars will fall from dark skies As ancient rocks are turning Quiet fills the room And your love flows through me Though I lie here so still I burn for you, I burn for you I burn |

Every day that goes by
A new hungry baby starts to cry Born astride a painful grave Drowned in hunger's tidal wave Pick a child that you can save It'd be the only one If Africa escapes starvation Not only food but education The desert grows with every minute Trapping everybody in it All the children look the same They wonder why they came But it's hard to tell the poison from the cure It's harder still to know the reason why, why, why The only thing I really know for sure Is that another day, another day's gone by Every day that goes by A brand new missile points towards the sky We're survivors of a game of chance Beneath an arms race avalanche If you survive this winter's cold You'd be the only one If we escape annihilation Not only hope but education The world is ruled by Bellophiles Adding to their weapon piles Imagine what your taxes buy We hardly ever try But it's hard to tell the poison from the cure It's harder still to know the reason why, why, why The only thing I really know for sure Is that another day, another day's gone by, bye,bye That this too solid flesh Would melt and resolve into a dew Suffocating lassitude Drowning in my platitude Trapped by insecurities I'm not the only one If I survive this dislocation Have to use my education Chief of inactivity Wasted creativity Distances our revolution Silence is consent But it's hard to tell the poison from the cure It's harder still to know the reason why, why, why The only thing I really know for sure Is that another day, another day's gone by |

The sun sets across the ocean
I'm a thousand mile from anywhere And my pocketbook in my heart Both just got stolen And the sun act like she don't even care The wind blows cold when you reach the top Feels like somebody's face is stuck to the bottom of my shoe Got a plastic jesus, a cordless telephone for every corner of my room Got everybody but you tellin' me what to do Well I've been down so long It can't be that much longer still And I've been down for so long That the end must be drawing near I looked to everybody but me To answer my prayers Until I found an angel in the bathroom Who said she didn't see anybody who was saving anywhere And the blind man said, "Simple... like flipping a coin - Don't matter what side it lands on So long as it's somebody else's dime" Cause if you're the top of the bottom It all feels the same We live out of fear if we're too rich or we're too poor Guess all I can do is muster up some change And a little bit of faith And take some dignity when I walk through this door Gonna take a trip Catch a train Got a ticket in my hand And then a fat man takes my money And like cattle we all stand I'm just a faceless body lost in this vast and worthless sea In a thousand people I do not know But really they are no different from me They all have passion They all have fear They all have intense confusion And no sweet moments that are clear They all have aspirations High hopes and dreams And are really that alone like me We've been down so long It can't be that much longer still We've been down so long That the end must be...

My sisters and I
Have this wish before we die And it may sound strange As if our minds are deranged Please don't ask us why Beneath the sheltering sky We have this strange obsession You have the means in your possession We want our tea in the Sahara with you We want our tea in the Sahara with you The young man agreed He would satisfy their need So they danced for his pleasure With a joy you could not measure They would wait for him here The same place every year Beneath the sheltering sky Across the desert he would fly Tea in the Sahara with you Tea in the Sahara with you The sky turned to black Would he ever come back? They would climb a high dune They would pray to the moon But he'd never return So the sisters would burn As their eyes searched the land With their cups full of sand Tea in the Sahara with you Tea in the Sahara with you Tea in the Sahara with you Tea in the Sahara with you |

The afternoon has gently passed me by
The evening spreads its sail against the sky Waiting for tomorrow, just another day God bid yesterday good-bye Bring on the night I couldn't spend another hour of daylight Bring on the night I couldn't stand another hour of daylight The future is but a question mark Hangs above my head, there in the dark Can't see for the brightness is staring me blind God bid yesterday good-bye Bring on the night I couldn't spend another hour of daylight Bring on the night I couldn't stand another hour of daylight I couldn't spend another hour of daylight I couldn't stand another hour of daylight |

If You Love Somebody Set Them Free
If you need somebody, call my name If you want someone, you can do the same If you want to keep something precious You got to lock it up and throw away the key If you want to hold onto your possession Don't even think about me If you love somebody, set them free If it's a mirror you want, just look into my eyes Or a whipping boy, someone to despise Or a prisoner in the dark Tied up in chains you just can't see Or a beast in a gilded cage That's all some people ever want to be If you love somebody, set them free You can't control an independent heart Can't tear the one you love apart Forever conditioned to believe that we can't live We can't live here and be happy with less So many riches, so many souls Everything we see we want to possess If you need somebody, call my name If you want someone, you can do the same If you want to keep something precious You got to lock it up and throw away the key If you want to hold onto your possession Don't even think about me If you love somebody, set them free |

Fatal fascination for the seedy part of town
Walk down the street and your head spins round Don't be seen alone without your friends at night Take a gun or a knife to the low life Don't have to be born into this society Pay for love but the hate comes free Bring enough money for the rest of your life Don't bring your wife to the low life Bringing us there to the degredation Always keep your back to the wall No rewards for your infatuation Low life No life at all Yeah, low life, low life In here to long to be afraid anymore You can't reach the bed so you sleep on the floor You get so stoned you think you could fly But you won't get high on the low life Low life, low life Low life, low life Low life, low life Low life, low life |

Under the ruins of a walled city
Crumbling towers in beams of yellow light No flags of truce, no cries of pity the siege guns had been pounding through the night It took a day to build the city We walked through its streets in the afternoon As I returned across the fields I'd known I recognized the walls that I once made Had to stop in my tracks for fear Of walking on the mines I'd laid And if I built this fortress around your heart Encircled you in trenches and barbed wire Then let me build a bridge, for I cannot fill the chasm And let me set the battlements on fire Then I went off to fight some battle That I'd invented inside my head Away so long for years and years You probably thought or even wished that I was dead While the armies are all sleeping Beneath that tattered flag we'd made I had to stop in my tracks for fear Of walking on the mines I'd laid And if I built this fortress around your heart Encircled you in trenches and barbed wire Then let me build a bridge, for I cannot fill the chasm And let me set the battlements on fire The prison has now become your home a sentence you seem prepared to pay It took a day to build the city We walked through its streets in the afternoon As I returned across the lands I'd known I recognized the fields where I once played I had to stop in my tracks for fear Of walking on the mines I'd laid And if I built this fortress around your heart Encircled you in trenches and barbed wire Then let me build a bridge, for I cannot fill the chasm And let me set the battlements on fire |

How can you say that you're not responsible?
What does it have to do with me? What is my reaction, what should it be? Confronted by this latest atrocity Driven to tears Hide my face in my hands, shame wells in my throat My comfortable existance is reduced to a shallow meaningless party Seems that when some innocent die All we can offer them is a page in a some magazine Too many cameras and not enough food 'Cos this is what we've seen Driven to tears Protest is futile, nothing seems to get through What's to become of our world, who knows what to do Driven to tears |

This place has changed for good
Your economic theory said it would It's hard for us to understand We can't give up our jobs the way we should Our blood has stained the coal We tunnelled inside the nation's soul We matter more than pounds and pence Your economic theory makes no sense One day in a nuclear age They may understand our rage They build machines that they can't control And bury the waste in a great big hole Power was to become cheap and clean Grimy faces were never seen But deadly for twelve thousand years is carbon fourteen We work the black seam together The seam lies underground Three million years of pressure packed it down We walk through ancient forest lands And light a thousand cities with our hands Your dark satanic mills Have made redundant all our mining skills You can't exchange a six inch band For all the poison streams in Cumberland One day in a nuclear age They may understand our rage They build machines that they can't control And bury the waste in a great big hole Power was to become cheap and clean Grimy faces were never seen But deadly for twelve thousand years is carbon fourteen We work the black seam together Our concious lives run deep You cling onto your mountain while we sleep This way of life is part of me There is no price so only let me be And should the children weep The turning world will sing their souls to sleep When you have sunk without a trace The universe will suck me into place One day in a nuclear age They may understand our rage They build machines that they can't control And bury the waste in a great big hole Power was to become cheap and clean Grimy faces were never seen But deadly for twelve thousand years is carbon fourteen We work the black seam together |

I need someone's hand, to lead me through the night
I need someone's arms, to hold and squeeze me tight Now when the night begins, I'm at an end Because I need your love so bad. I need some lips, to feel next to mine I need someone to stand up, and tell me when I'm lyin' And when the lights are low, and it's time to go That's when I need your love so bad. So why don't you give it up, and bring it home to me Or write it on a piece of paper baby, so it can be read to me Tell me that you love me, and stop driving me mad Oh because I, I need your love so bad. I need your soft voice, to talk to me at night I don't want you to worry baby, I know we can make everything alright Listen to my plea, baby, bring it to me Because I need your love so bad. |

"Russians"
Written by Sting (& Sergei Prokofiev!) In Europe and America there's a growing feeling of hysteria Conditioned to respond to all the threats In the rhetorical speeches of the Soviets Mister Krushchev said, 'We will bury you' I don't subscribe to this point of view It'd be such an ignorant thing to do If the Russians love their children too How can I save my little boy From Oppenheimer's deadly toy? There is no monopoly on common sense On either side of the political fence We share the same biology Regardless of ideology Believe me when I say to you I hope the Russians love their children too There is no historical precedent to put Words in the mouth of the president There's no such thing as a winnable war It's a lie we don't believe anymore Mister Reagan says 'We will protect you' I don't subscribe to this point of view Believe me when I say to you I hope the Russians love their children too We share the same biology Regardless of ideology What might save us, me and you Is if the Russians love their children too |

The sun sets across the ocean I'm a thousand mile from anywhere And my pocketbook in my heart Both just got stolen And the sun act like she don't even care The wind blows cold when you reach the top Feels like somebody's face is stuck to the bottom of my shoe Got a plastic jesus, a cordless telephone for every corner of my room Got everybody but you tellin' me what to do Well I've been down so long It can't be that much longer still And I've been down for so long That the end must be drawing near I looked to everybody but me To answer my prayers Until I found an angel in the bathroom Who said she didn't see anybody who was saving anywhere And the blind man said, "simple... like flipping a coin - Don't matter what side it lands on So long as it's somebody else's dime" Cause if you're the top of the bottom It all feels the same We live out of fear if we're too rich or we're too poor Guess all I can do is muster up some change And a little bit of faith And take some dignity when I walk through this door Gonna take a trip Catch a train Got a ticket in my hand And then a fat man takes my money And like cattle we all stand I'm just a faceless body lost in this vast and worthless sea In a thousand people I do not know But really they are no different from me They all have passion They all have fear They all have intense confusion And no sweet moments that are clear They all have aspirations High hopes and dreams And are really that alone like me We've been down so long It can't be that much longer still We've been down so long That the end must be... The end must be... The end must be drawing near |

If You Love Somebody Set Them Free
If you need somebody, call my name If you want someone, you can do the same If you want to keep something precious You got to lock it up and throw away the key If you want to hold onto your possession Don't even think about me If you love somebody, set them free If it's a mirror you want, just look into my eyes Or a whipping boy, someone to despise Or a prisoner in the dark Tied up in chains you just can't see Or a beast in a gilded cage That's all some people ever want to be If you love somebody, set them free You can't control an independent heart Can't tear the one you love apart Forever conditioned to believe that we can't live We can't live here and be happy with less So many riches, so many souls Everything we see we want to possess If you need somebody, call my name If you want someone, you can do the same If you want to keep something precious You got to lock it up and throw away the key If you want to hold onto your possession Don't even think about me If you love somebody, set them free |

Just a castaway
An island lost at sea Another lonely day With no one here but me More loneliness Than any man could bear Rescue me before I fall into despair I’ll send an SOS to the world I’ll send an SOS to the world I hope that someone gets my I hope that someone gets my I hope that someone gets my Message in a bottle A year has passed since I wrote my note But I should have known this right from the start Only hope can keep me together Love can mend your life But love can break your heart I’ll send an SOS to the world I’ll send an SOS to the world I hope that someone gets my I hope that someone gets my I hope that someone gets my Message in a bottle Walked out this morning Don’t believe what I saw A hundred billion bottles Washed up on the shore Seems I’m not alone at being alone A hundred billion castaways Looking for a home I’ll send an SOS to the world I’ll send an SOS to the world I hope that someone gets my I hope that someone gets my I hope that someone gets my Message in a bottle |
