You give me something that I just can't explain
I was lost in my childhood feeling lonely I'll be the big man, I'll be the big noise I'll be the square fellow With these flat hand and a mind of my own I was lost in dreams of a distant home I'll be the big man, I'll be the big noise I'll be the square fellow On these great shores I was born an immigrant to this city Under the bright lights [x2] I can't be happy 'til it's understood I'll make my own way Give me something that I can call my own I'll nail down the days Nail down the days In this just land I was raised to bow down to the man I walked under the steel [x2] Nothing's changed so I'll wait and I'll pray Come now what may Live and work for the best that they'll pay Nail down the days [x2] See me a stranger and I'll call you a friend You can lead me a lamb to the slaughter I'll be the big man, I'll be the big noise I'll be the square fellow Nothing's changed so I'll wait and I'll pray Come now what may Live and work for the best that they'll pay Nail down the days [x2] I'll be the big man, I'll be the big noise I'll be the square fellow |

No pain, no fame, never feel the same again
That's right uptight, I've been awake all night Cold sweat in bed, crazy thoughts fill my head Next thing, morning breaks, hide my hands, control the shakes Out now dirty street, music in my mind, that's sweet Sad man, sad girl, young child make world Feel love, don't shove, give thanks to God above No fear, never hear, kiss and tell my mother dear It's all clear? [Repeat: x 2] I know who you are I know who I am I know what you want What's that a fact, bad debt, break back Small room, big time, rich man over the moon In space, wrong place, hungry people in food chase Crying there, dying there, pretty baby washing hair It's all clear? [Repeat: x 2] I know who you are I know who I am I know what you want Here comes the catch again They've stabbed you in the back my friend No news, it's true, every way I play with you In front, behind, slow down, take time Every why I should lie, hole's appearing in the sky Come on out in the sun, don't be frightened of a gun It's all clear? [Repeat: x 2] I know who you are I know who I am I know what you want Here comes the catch again They've stabbed you in the back my friend I know who you are I know who I am I know what you want [Repeat: x 4] I know who you are (I'm your man) I know who I am (funny man) I know what you want |

Well, there's a feeling in your stomach, a light trembling at the knees
Not even knowing who the lucky fellow might be Bridesmaids are cleaning the court-house bell Horse-driven carriages wait patiently in hell Happiness has been arranged for some time in July Invitations have been sent I'm so bitter I could cry Congratulations flown in from a long-lost friend For the big occasion regretting that he can't attend And as family tradition is busy making up your mind Gallantly standing draped in his holy shroud God's representative mumbles to a tearful crowd I now pronounce you I now pronounce you Mother father wake up, you've overlooked one thing The daughter you've planned for four years won't get to wear your ring Instead she'll be running off into the dark of night Straight into the hungry arms that long to hold her tight And as family tradition is busy making up your mind Gallantly standing draped in his holy shroud God's representative mumbles to a tearful crowd I now pronounce you I now pronounce you There's a feeling deep inside of you, a feeling that of ease You're the sweetest thing that could ever happen for me The bridesmaids are ringing the court-house bell Horse-driven carriages try to cover streets to tell And as family tradition is busy making up your mind Gallantly standing draped in his holy shroud God's representative mumbles to a tearful crowd I now pronounce you I now pronounce you [x2] |

Overhead an aeroplane with its precious cargo
Criminals and astronauts, is flying down to Rio From the ground below just a vapor trail Left to remind us of the dreams on sale Tomorrow starts at midnight [x2] Tonight Tell me something I understand Don't talk to me in circles With so much things to say [x2] Tomorrow starts at midnight [x2] Tonight [x2] You leave me in wonder You leave me here in wonder Now you're falling over backwards, running up a hill Falling over backwards with your hands in the till Falling over backwards with your credit card Falling over backwards far too hard Who will ever know [x2] Which way the wind will blow? The setting sun has fallen down There are no jewels left in the crown Tomorrow starts at midnight [x2] Tonight [x2] |

October came and with it came the rain
And so I write my song in red It wasn't anything new There was nothing to tell He meant everything to me How can the sun shine like any other day? How can the world turn this way? If I'd have known the day before Was the last time we'd speak I'd have held you close to me When I saw you lying You looked as if you were sleeping Now you're gone it feels so cold How can the sun shine like any other day? How can the world turn this way? Lord, have mercy on his soul [Repeat: x 3] How can the sun shine like any other day? How can the world turn this way? |

Don't look back or make a sound
Or change your mind in any way I wouldn't want to turn you round Even if I thought you'd stay You take me further than I ought to be Then thunder and lightning When it's over Then thunder and lightning Turn me over I had to get up and out take a walk in the dark To clear my mind for the very last time Washed away in the cold blue rain I know where I'm from and I know where I'm going to Say goodbye for the very last time Washed away in the cold blue rain Stop thief making off with my heart Even if I caught you so While she tears me apart Turn around to see her go Then thunder and lightning When it's over Then thunder and lightning Turn me over Don't look back or make a sound Change your mind in any way I don't want to turn you round Even if I thought you'd stay [Repeat: x 2] Then thunder and lightning When it's over Then thunder and lightning Turn me over |

Don't treat the bride kneeling at your feet, feeling black and blue
Like an overworked upper cut side order of meat Monkey see what monkey do, looking up to you Copy every move, they worship you Look at yourself self-respect Dirt behind the ears Gone is all your sense of pride Has run off with your tears Don't beat the bride, ride the wave Face the tide and when the penny got tight Take take off Ride the wave, face the tide And when the penny got tight The pressure came down [x2] You're always hurting the one you love And when they're dead and gone The hurting gets even worse So when tension rears its ugly head Look the other way and stay just one step ahead Don't beat the bride (pressure came down), ride the wave Face the tide (pressure came down) and when the penny got tight Take take off Ride the wave, face the tide And when the penny got tight The way it's always been Pressure came down on the breadwinner Pressure came down on the collector Pressure came down on the bush doctor Pressure came down on the governor Pressure came down on old beat Pete Pressure came down on the man on the street Pressure came down for us to meet But we turned and ran away Don't beat the bride, ride the wave Face the tide and when the penny got tight Take take off Ride the wave, face the tide And when the penny got tight The pressure came down [x2] Don't beat the bride, ride the wave Face the tide and when the penny got tight Take take off Ride the wave, face the tide |

Hate is a word that I hate
I've made a mistake The temple is having a sale How can we fail Love is a woman I need Life moves Man can you tell me please What was your face What was your face What was your face before you were born? I will say that there's blood on my hands I'm a man I'm a man I'm a man I will ask my God to forgive If I can if I can if I can I will go with the way that is soft Give you all that I have got Keep you close to my heart Not let anything tear us apart I need to look into your soul No matter what you say Now don't turn away Last time I was with you I felt we were miles apart Don't be angry with me baby I'll be sorry when you're gone Listen up I know it's crazy I've tried to be as honest as I can I hope I didn't get it all wrong I'll be naked in the flame I have no mind to hide my shame Move me close and kiss me quick Hold my hand I'm feeling sick Is this wall up between us for life? You could die on the inside To never be heard of again It's too late on your last breath Hate is a word that I hate I've made a mistake The temple is having a sale Gabriel come down Gabriel come down Gabriel come down from above Last time I was with you I felt we were miles apart |

It feels like I knew Robert Blink
Even though he didn't know his name He was so nearly over twenty-one That he could never feel the same Sometimes I wish that I could see But it was you instead of me At the eleventh hour At the eleventh hour The trumpets of yesterday are blowing For here today I only hope you can rest in peace And cannot hear the tune they play Because we're all tired of hearing that song Though they try to make you sing along At the eleventh hour At the eleventh hour If there's more than this I'll write and let you know If there's more than this From the seeds we sow Well sometimes I wish that I could see And maybe it will be At the eleventh hour At the eleventh hour |

Sitting by the fire
It seems only yesterday Look how you've grown Now the time has come For me to say: You can do whatever you feel I guess I'm right whenever you feel Don't forget to brush your teeth Or comb your hair There's people out there to meet Careful when you smile When you walk in the room A smile worthless unless you mean it to You can take whatever you need You can leave whenever need be Be good boy, don't fall, mother knows best Be good boy and choose, mother knows best Take a look at what you're going to do Ooh think boy, don't be led, take the lead boy I don't want to have to tell you again Don't let me down my good humoured man You can have whatever you want Maybe I'm wrong whenever you want Be good boy, don't fret, mother knows best Be good boy, don't cry, mother knows best Beholder of disguise (be good boy), so choose, mother knows best Better be on your best behaviour (be good boy), come visiting day |

Sharp fresh food never tasted so good
As the time you placed it in your mouth Settling on my tongue it stung And left me drowsy in the heat And left me drowsy in the heat What was it we were at Sensing something hidden still Tumbling on the moment slow Falling back together yet in our heat There are birds upon the barbed wire They are a witness to our love A couple passing by us recall That's the way it was for them And children running through the park Fall exhausted to the ground Imagining that if trees could speak They'd tell us of the love we've found That nobody owns Nobody owns Nobody owns |
