In the month of May, in the glory of the day
Came the descendants of a hundred flowers And their fight it did begin with the aging Mandarin And they fought with an extraordinary power Everyone was smiling, their hearts were one In Tiananmen Square But it seems that the Spring this year in Beijing Came just before the Fall There was no summer at all In Tiananmen Square China... China There's peace in the emerald fields, there's mist upon the lakes But something is afoot in the People's Hall The spirit of Chu Ping is alive in young Chai Ling And the Emperor has his back against the wall Black sun rising over Tiananmen Square Over Tiananmen Square But it seems that the Spring this year in Beijing Came just before the Fall There was no summer at all In Tiananmen Square China... China In the month of June, in the darkness of the moon Went the descendants of a hundred flowers And time may never tell how many of them fell Like the petals of a rose in some satanic shower Everyone was weeping in all of China And Tiananmen Square But it seems that the Spring this year in Beijing Came just before the Fall There was no summer at all In Tiananmen Square China... China And even the moon on the fourth day of June Hid her face and did not see Black sun rising over Tiananmen Square And Wang Wei Lin, you remember him All alone he stood before the tanks A shadow of forgotten ancestors in Tiananmen Square And my blue-eyed son, you had no one You could call a hero of your age You have the rainbow warriors of Tiananmen Square, singing China Shall Be Free China Shall Be Free China Shall Be Free |

We are the Warriors of the Sun
We are the Warriors of the Sun If it's true about no more water but the fire next time Will the children of the eighties be ashes or live to their prime If we don't heed reasonable people and their warnings of days to come We'll all be incinerated Warriors of the Sun We'll be there to feed the hungry and to tend to the sick We'll be there when the night gets black and the going gets thick We'll be there to carry your feeble, your hopeless and your weary ones We are the Warriors of the Sun The black angel of Memphis is by our side He walked and he talked in truth until the day that he died He said, "It ain't what you can do for me, ah, but what can I do for thee?" And he took us to the mountaintop and he set us free We are the Warriors of the Sun We may be crazy And it may be our final run We are the Warriors of the Sun Everybody knows that the whale is smarter than we Probably that's why we call him the king of the sea We're killing everything on dry land, why don't we just let the fishes be Some of us are Greenpeace Warriors of the Sea We are the Warriors of the Sun We are the Warriors of the Sun We are the Warriors of the Sun We are the Warriors of the Sun |

I wish I were home now, in Carrickfergus
Only for nights in Ballygrand I would swim over the deepest ocean The deepest ocean, to be by your side But the sea is wide, I cannot swim over And either have I wings to fly I wish I could find me a handy boatman To ferry me over to my love and die These childhood places bring sad reflections Of happy times, spent so long ago My girlhood friends and my own relations Have all passed on, like the melting snow And I'll spend my days in endless roaming Soft is the grass, and my bed is free Ah, to be home now in Carrickfergus On that long road down to the salty sea And in Kilkenny, it is reported On marble stone as black as ink With gold and silver he did support me But I'll sing no more now 'til I've had a drink And I'm drunk today and I'm rarely sober As I roam on, from town to town Ah, but I'm sick now, and my days are numbered Come all ye young lads, and lay me down Come all ye young lads, and lay me down |

Jimmy got nothing made himself a name
With a gun that he polished for a rainy day A smile and a quote from a vigilante movie Our boy jimmy just blew them all away He said it made him crazy Twenty five years living hand to mouth Hand to mouth, hand to mouth, hand to mouth Sweet little baby on a big white doorstep She needs her mother but her mother is dead Just another hooker that the lucky can forget Just another hooker It happens everyday She loved her little baby But she couldn't bear to see her living hand to mouth Hand to mouth, hand to mouth, hand to mouth She believed in the gods of America She believed in the land of the free But no one told her That the gods believe in nothing So with empty hands she prayed And from day to hopeless day They still don't see her Everybody talks about the new generation Jump on the wagon or they'll leave you behind But no one gave a thought to the rest of the nation I'd like to help you buddy, but I haven't got the time Somebody shouted save me But everybody started living hand to mouth Hand to mouth, hand to mouth, hand to mouth There's a big white lady On a big white doorstep She asked her daddy and her daddy said yes Have to give a little for the dollars that we get Have to give a little - They say it's for the best Somebody shouted Maybe But they keep on living from her hand to mouth Hand to mouth, hand to mouth, hand to mouth So she ran to the arms of America And she kissed the powers that be And someone told me That the gods believe in nothing So with empty arms I pray And I tell myself One day They just might see me... |

Speaking of dreams
Here we are in the glistening streets of Gay Paree Playing the Gipsy Kings After the rain and taking tea at the Ritz in boots and jeans With a teenage girl who said that it would be her grandest dream And speaking of dreams, I really must say I couldn't have dreamed you up Nor the way you burst into my life, rattled my cage And woke my sleeping demons up You were not yet born When my career began in '59 We're a sign of the times Who cares if you are a breath of spring and I am vintage wine We come from two different worlds Like every other couple on the Rue de Rivoli You spent your youth in the rainforests of distant Camaroon Your father was a Navy captain, I am the Queen of Hearts And the daughter of the moon Speaking of dreams You took me to see the paintings of Paul Gaughin Speaking of dreams We stood in the midst of waterfalls, flaming trees Golden dogs and shining Tahitian ladies But it was you, not Paul Gaughin Who stopped my heart and then Started my life over again And if you feel as I do That we've erased the lines between reality And all our painted dreams Then take me down to where the Gipsies sing The songs their mothers knew Tie bright ribbons in my hair Lean on the wind and watch me while I dance for you And carry me off to the rainforests of distant Camaroon Tell me that you've always know that I am the Queen of Hearts And the daughter of the moon |

Now that the city is dreaming, viva the pale moonlight
Take to your bibles, take to your beds, now that nothing seems right National Guards who they pay by the week are gonna clash in the curfew tonight With Los companeros born in the war, from Warsaw to San Salvador A voice from the past comes a callin', saying hold every strong heart dear These are the days when it seems like there's nothing but newspapers, order, fear Praise to the ones who are burried gone, and to the brave hearts who just disappeared Los companeros, born in the war, from Belfast to San Salvador Whad'a you got to do to get through They're deaf as a graveyard What does Nicaragua say to you? Think of the midnight, silver & black, think if the sun can be fooled Think of the four sisters shot in the back for running a land reform school Think of the ones taken hard in the hills, they can be beaten but they can never be ruled Los Companeros, born in the war, viva El Salvador |

Oh, once I loved an outlaw
He came and stole my heart Oh, how I count the hours Since we were torn apart On the road to Fairfax County I spied a highwayman He wanted all my money My heart beat like a drum I gave him all my money And sweet he smiled at me His beauty eye took pity Beneath the black oak tree We kissed but for an hour The sun was newly warm The clouds were as the flowers That bloom but for a morn He gave back all my money And bowed most gallantly He promised for to meet me That night beneath the tree We'd flee to some far island And there we would be wed And freely we would live there With no price upon his head That night I went to meet him With my inheritance He kissed me 'neath the half moon And joyful we did dance Oh, love betrays all secrets It whispers in the breeze The Sheriff, he did follow With all his deputies Like hounds rushing to slaughter The fox whose luck is run And he stood erect and cursed them God damn you every one They seized him in a fury And heeding not my pleas They hung him from the oak tree Where he made love to me Ohh, once I loved an outlaw He came and stole my heart Oh, how I count the hours Since we were torn apart |
