Who saw the fences falling
Who broke the ploughman's bread Who heard the winter calling Who wore the tailor's thread How many sheaves were counted How did the carriage shine How many thoughts were doubted How did the landlord dine Just as you sow you shall reap Who led the mayday feasting Who saw the harvest home Who left the future wasting Who watched the families go See where the bowls are empty See where the arms reach See where the butter melted See where the altars creak Where were the days of promise Where were the gifts divine Where were the heroes honest Where was the summer wine Watch how the waves must shatter Watch how the shore divides Watch how the nets will tatter Watch Canute and his bride |

Who holds the money, who holds the need
Who holds the strings of misery or the purse of greed And the gunmen reap while the gangsters sow And law is cheap when the smugglers go (Give us peace) Give us peace in our time (Give us peace) Give us peace in our time While I have a life to live Then I have no life to give (Give us peace) Give us peace in our time In sun-kissed rooms in city slums Minds are restless till the airmail comes From the forest floor to the western mind Like a chat show topic on a party line And the hardest love of all is to forgive As the world comes tumbling down (Give us peace) Give us peace in our time (Give us peace) Give us peace in our time While I have a life to live Then I have no life to give (Give us peace) Give us peace in our time Let all the rain come down on blind desire Like a thundercloud that holds a prairie fire I hear the blame and I see the cause A stronger voice and a stronger law But buyers buy and sellers sell Public consumption of a private hell (Give us peace) Give us peace in our time (Give us peace) Give us peace in our time While I have a life to live Then I have no life to give (Give us peace) Give us peace in our time (Give us peace) Give us peace in our time (Give us peace) Give us peace in our time While I have a life to live Then I have no life to give (Give us peace) Give us peace in our time |

It went so well for you
With a place right where you wanted and the ones to fill it to But some blows break the spell That it hits you every day until you need to hit as well It's just a shadow of the man you should be Like a garden in the forest that the world will never see You have no thought of answers only questions to be filled And it feels like hell It all seemed fine for you Till the struggle of ambition turned in violence upon you Sometimes a landslide comes If you're hiding in that avalanche you need a place to run It's just a shadow of the woman you should be Like a garden in the forest that the world will never see And you have no thought of answers only questions to be filled And it feels like hell I know there is no need for what's been done I know there is enough for everyone Frustration brings a heavy hand to bear And there's never been a hand Did we ever have it good While we lived in Eldorado did we find the gold we should If it really was the truth Why are faces filled with anger that should only shine with youth It's just a shadow of the people we should be Like a garden in the forest that the world will never see You have no thought of answers only questions to be filled And it feels like hell I know there is no need for what's been done I know there is enough for everyone Frustration brings a heavy hand to bear And there never is a hand outside that cares Still the promise comes of living fit for all If we only get our back against the wall I look at backs that pushed the wall for years Scarred by many knives and too much fear |

I came from the hills with a tear in my eye
The winter closed in and the crows filled the sky The houses were burning in flames gold and red The people were running with eyes full of dread Ah my James They didn't have to do this We chased them for miles I had tears in my eyes Through forest and moor as the clouds filled the sky The storm broke upon us with fury and flame Both hunters and hunted washed down in the rain Ah my James They didn't have to do this I know I can never return To the time of hope when I was born Let the strength of peace run through my hand When we walk away from the ?stormy shore? Then I will be afraid no more And now I'm sure of where I stand Let the strength of peace run through this land And nobody smiled as we took back our own While rain beat upon us the thunder would moan And nobody smiled when we knew what was lost We knew well enough only time proves the cost Ah my James They didn't have to do this Ah my James They didn't have to do this I know I can never return To the time of hope when I was born Let the strength of peace run through my hand When we walk away from the ?stormy shore? Then I will be afraid no more And now I'm sure of where I stand Let the strength of peace run through this land |

All the rain came down
On a cold new town As he carried you away From your father's hand That always seemed like a fist Reaching out to make you pay He came like a hero from the factory floor With the sun and moon as gifts But the only son you ever saw Were the two he left you with Oh Lord where did the feeling go Oh Lord I never felt so low Now the skirts hang so heavy around your head That you never knew you were young Because you played chance with a lifetime's romance And the price was far too long Oh Lord where did the feeling go Oh Lord I never felt so low Oh Lord where did the feeling go Oh Lord I never felt so low Oh Lord where did the feeling go Oh Lord I never felt so low Oh Lord where did the feeling go Oh Lord I never felt so low Oh Lord where did the feeling go Oh Lord I never felt so low |

This time we run
This time we hide This time we draw on all the fire we have inside. We need some time To find a place Where I can wipe away the madness from your face. Our name is out Our name is known Our name is everywhere but who knows where we're flown. I never meant To kill a man But I will show you how to live like no one can. So look away look away Hide your eyes from the land where I lie cold. Look away look away From the lies in the stories that were told. Look away look away From the love that I hide way down deep in my soul. I met you wild In a snowed up town When I was waiting tied and bound to be sent down. Then I broke loose You weren't around So I raised banks and trains until I tracked you down. Now look away look away Hide your eyes from the land where I lie cold. Look away look away From the lies in the stories that were told. Look away look away From the love that I hide way down deep in my soul. You followed me When I said no You lay with me when there was nowhere safe to go. We made some friends but now it's done I always knew that we would never find the sun. So look away look away Hide your eyes from the land where I lie cold. Look away look away From the lies in the stories that were told. Look away look away From the love that I hide way down deep in my soul. |

There was a crooked man and he wore a crooked smile
He built a crooked highway and it ran for miles and miles With money from the revenue and sponsorship from Ford But it barely holds together with the goodwill of the Lord In the penthouse of the baron, the little children sleep Daddy talks to smugglers while armed gorillas creep Poison for the great unwashed, business for the mob Another teenage murder, it's trouble on the job Now I see what I must see The poor do time the rich go free You keep the faith and they keep score Is this what you are working for A newsleak in the city, another scandal breaks Sex and drugs in city hall, someone on the make Legal bounty hunters aim their lawsuits well The victim talks to Playboy says I guess I'll go to hell |

Here I stand with my own kin
At the end of everything Finally the dream is gone I've had enough of hanging on I came here with all my friends Leaving behind the wait of years Leaving alone in a flood of tears Out on a prospect that never ends All the landscape was the mill Grim as the reaper with a heart like hell With a river of bodies flowing with the bell Here was a future for hands of skill We built it all with our own hands But who could know we built on sand But now it's barren all too soon There is no miracle in ruin We set the flame and it burned so blue With open eyes I watched it grow A sea of palms in an ocean of snow Hands with the courage to start anew Here was a home for the lost and scared Out of the yards and run dry dock The call of the steel that would never stop Here was a refuge for those who dared In a steeltown When the heat's on I went down And the heat turned on me There I stand with my own kin At the end of everything Finally the dream has gone I've nothing left to hang upon In a steeltown When the heat's on I went down And the heat turned on me |

Look at him now, another used man
Wearing the passing of his dignity with all the courage that he can He stood in the storm, carved out in stone He said I've worn my honesty with pride in everything I've done So where were you when my ship went down Where were you when I ran aground Where were you when I turned it around Where were you when they burned me down You see her now, all tired and worn She never thought her life would come to be so cold or so alone She walked in the light, fought bondage for love She said I cast off the chains that I was born with but it never was enough Chorus Silent souls washed up on the shores Left to walk the sands evermore, evermore Look at you now just chasing your life Make like the saviour of the planet You're just trying to get by Now you may walk the line, you may see it all through But I know you cry yourself to sleep at night just wondering what to do |

If you could feel
How I must feel The winds of quiet change If you could see What I must see Still hidden in the rain But when the thunder rolls It comes and covers up my soul And you will take my hand And be with me in wonderland Chorus I am an honest man I need the love of you I am a working man I feel the winter too If you could hear What I must hear Then nothing would replace The fifty years of sweat and tears That never left a trace But when I look at you I see You feel the same way too And you will take my hand and be With me in wonderland Chorus You still remember other days When every head was high I watched that pride be torn apart Beneath a darker sky With innocence within ourselves We sing the same old song And you will take my hand And make believe it's wonderland I need the love of you I am a working man I feel the winter too Chorus Wonderland (four times, fading out) |

Come on lay your hands on me
Feel the will of God's TV I will save you every one And you can pay me when I'm done 100,000 Jesus Children All dressed up and no-one with them Lead them not into temptation With your tales of hell's damnation Searching for the long way home Searching for the long way home Searching for the long way home Searching for the long way home Out upon the China sea Boats will run eternally Storms on land and storms assail Captains roar and the women wail A half a million Nixon babies Some with toys and some with rabies Hunted by the man in black No room here man send them back Searching for the long way home Searching for the long way home Searching for the long way home Searching for the long way home Underneath your own safe sky You may never wonder why Some will never make their peace Some have never been released Fires in the L.A. sky The truth ran out and justice died You better arm the National Guard Cause final notice has been served Searching for the long way home Searching for the long way home Searching for the long way home Searching for the long way home Searching for the long way home Searching for the long way home Searching for the long way home Searching for the long way home The long way home |

I never saw you look like this without a reason
Another promise fallen through, another season passes by you I never took the smile away from anybody's face And that's a desperate way to look for someone who is still a child In a big country dreams stay with you Like a lover's voice fires the mountainside Stay alive I'm not expecting to grow flowers in the desert But I can live and breathe and see the sun in wintertime In a big country dreams stay with you Like a lover's voice fires the mountainside Stay alive So take that look out of here, it doesn't fit you Because it's happened doesn't mean you've been discarded Pull up your head off the floor, come up screaming Cry out for everything you ever might have wanted I thought that pain and truth were things that really mattered But you can't stay here with every single hope you had shattered |

We lay the night in anguish, snakes drawn out by the tide
The compass of decision falls always on one side But many went before us, and still the cries are clear There is no beauty here, just the stench of wine and beer We save no souls We break no promises We can do nothing more than move on headlong through the gloom The thorn between our lips is the missionaries tune Men with open arms turn their faces half away Observe as we approach that we have not come to save We stand as thick as vines though the fruit is torn away There is no beauty here, friends, just death and dark decay |
