Car horns and rumba music
Through the city's broken heart Is this the devil's own back yard It was fourty years ago That the gangster he fell To a rag bag of men The world remembers well Happy Birthday Revolution I'm standing here Watching the world Fall apart Our leader he was young Galant and divine It was the age of blood and romance They shot him in Bolivia No tear did we cry For how many men Can chose the way that they die Happy Birthday Revolution I'm standing here Watching the world Fall apart We paint him on buildings With sadness in our eyes If we suffer hungry days We call it sacrifice Some say his dream is full of holes We have dignity and pride We have independence Or is it just a yankee lie Happy Birthday Revolution I'm standing here Watching the world Fall apart |

I'm in pain baby,
A little hung over maybe Have you seen my head Has anybody seen my head Just when did I become invisible Tell me when did I become invisible So sorry officer, I'm so sorry officer But have you seen my legs Has anybody seen my legs Just when did I become invisible Can you tell me when I became invisible I can walk through walls Even through lives Nobody notices my disguise But tell me when did I become invisible I was here yesterday I'm sure I was here yesterday Do you remember my face Please remember my face Just when did I become invisible Telll me when did I become invisible I can walk through walls Even through lives Nobody notices my disguise But tell me when did I become invisible |

The NATO bombs were like sleeping pills
When I smoked the weed that killed Elvis I took enough to make me ill When I smoked the weed that killed Elvis I was public enemy number one When I smoked the weed that killed Elvis I chewed semtex like bubble gum When I smoked the weed that killed Elvis Now Slobodan was a tennis pro When I smoked the weed that killed Elvis I turned fuckin'Eskimo When I smoked the weed that killed Elvis I found a place where I could die When I smoked the weed that killed Elvis I found god but I lost an eye When I smoked the weed that killed Elvis Happiness was a girl I knew When I smoke |

At the edge of the world nothing is said
Call a witness Conversation is dead We pray for the coming But we don't hear a word We're all waiting around the edge of the world The loneliest place I know is my own street And your very own words Are the hardest to eat From the shadows of plastic Where you shout to be heard You're just sitting around at the edge of the world The telephone is lying there on the floor Somehow the moss just creeps round the door And everyone's crying from a painfull blow That came down the cable centuries ago Three men from the East Correctly concurred And left us in shackles At the edge of the world The edge of the world Waiting in pieces at at the edge of the world. |

She's the queen of my life
Every day it seems a miracle She's the love of my life Every time she lights a candle She turns and says to me Can we do it again tomorrow We make the most of our time What's here today is ours to follow When there's a fire in her eye She breaks the chain and frees the animal And turns and says to me Can we do it again tomorrow She holds the key to my mind She stole my heart It seems incredible When she's near it's all right When everything just seems impossible She turns and says to me Can we do it again tomorrow |

Half an hour is gone and here we belong
Living it so it can't be wrong Cos I was born the wrong way round Growing up while coming down But I didn't even know this When you took me by the hand That you Talk ever so lightly Lately And you walk Ever so slowly I didn't know and I didn't care What there was that could catch your breath But a moment gone is a moment caught And in half an hour I was taught That I didn't need to know this When you walked out of the night That you talk ever so lightly Lately And you walk Ever so slowly I didn't move and I didn't breath To be there where you were I didn't think cos I didn't know That half an hour spent And all of the days and all of the ways Will be there when you are gone Cos you talk ever so lightly Lately A nd you walk Ever so slowly Half an hour's gone and we're still together Walking now beneath the weather All the dreams, all the pains All that's come back again But we don't need to be there When it comes on oh so low Cos you talk ever so lightly Lately And you walk Ever so slowly Come on this time but not for us To be there when we're gone And all of the world and all of the days Are just half an hour long And all of the lives of all of the gods Will envy us our song Cos you talk ever so lightly Lately And you walk Ever so slowly |

There's a man on the mountain
Who hides himself away A voice on the wind there Is telling him to stay He knows on the outside The world has looked away From that night in the valley When they took them all away Now the rock of ages Has broken at his feet The history of centuries Lies scattered down the street The houses are all empty now Left broken there to die The children's playground Burned and gone With no-one left to cry Can you hear it Can you hear the sound of voices Carried on the wind He dorwned himself in sorrow And he dorwned himself in drink He dorwned himself in self-pity Until it made him sick He knew he was no master Just a slave to himself To the voices that have tortured him That he'll take to his grave Can you hear it Can you hear the sound of voices Carried on the wind Time passes slowly Sometimes he's at a loss And he wishes he could change it all But you can't turn back the clock So he picks up the broken pieces Of that so sacred rock And he takes them to a safer place Where they'll be forever lost. |

This is the tale of old England
We've got rocks and coke We've got kids that smoke Pram pushers and devil's folk In old England What's the weather Sunshine or rain Smiling faces asking for a change Watch the news Could grow great again From the harvest to the flatlands We're for sale in old England From the back streets to the old lanes We're for sale in old England In old England Where every penny's pinched In old England What's the weather Sunshine or rain Smiling faces asking for a change Watch the news Could we grow great again From the harvest to the flatlands We're for sale in old England From the back streets to the old lanes We're for sale in old England In old England There's a hand in my pocket There's a fight for my life He was sitting on the fence When they moved to the right The sham is a shame And there's always the rain And everybody's loving it From the harvest to the flatlands We're for sale in old England From the back streets to the old lanes We're for sale in old England In old England |

Been some places in my time
Seen some faces down the line But nothing like you Ain't nothing like you Nothing like you North wind blowing cracks my lips Cold tomorrow's tearing strips Nothing like you Look at the things you've got now It's all modern day tragedy I hear the things you say now Oh such a travesty Look at the things you've got now It's a modern day tragedy All the things you say now Oh such a travesty Look at the things you've got now It's a modern day tragedy I hear the things you say now Oh such a travesty |

Take a look at the lines
In the jigsaw of humankind What's there to see Who reaches for stars Who'll sit and stare And confuse their vision With pictures not there Is the real world so far Dreams come from life No not for everyone Dreams come from life Here they go on and on Cos I, oh I, oh I never would have thought of that Because dreams come from life No not for everyone Dreams come from life Here they go on and on Microsoft touch he future embraces us Dreams turn to dust There's nobody here Because dreams come from life No not for everyone Dreams come from life Here they go on and on Cos I, oh I, oh I never would have thought of that |

As the blood flowed
Lorraine knew That there'd be nobody coming Nobody's coming As the blood flowed Lorraine knew That there'd be nobody coming The call came in Lorraine shot down Her husband pulled the trigger And then he blew his brains out At the other end The police took a call They didn't believe That he was dead at all So they wouldn't help her And she knew It had been 20 years Since they fell in love He's brought a lot of pain But now he's brought a lot of blood And he's taken more Than his share We can't lose a life The police chief said There's an armed man in there Who'd be better off dead As Lorraine bled from the legs And as the blood flowed Lorraine knew That there'd be nobody coming Nobody's coming As the blood flowed Lorraine knew That there'd be nobody coming Speak to me now But all she could say Was, I don't want to die like this So they said they're on their way But they never heard That she was Lorraine So they didn't let her die With even her name As she left us all in pain And as the blood flowed Lorraine knew That there'd be nobody coming Nobody's coming As the blood flowed Lorraine knew That there'd be nobody coming |

She took the world up
She was higher than the sky She didn't have a need She didn't really want for anyone he didn't ask for any of this She painted in the dark Truth turned into light But men came in the night To set her world alight She didn't ask for any of this But the red sun burns Brighter in the night Red sun burns Can make you feel all right But everywhere you go There's still not enough For everyone They left her in the ash Tears lay in her eyes She swore no one would take More than they could create She didn't ask for any of this She took the world on She was higher than the sun She didn't have a need Didn't really want for anyone And she didn't ask for any of this But the red sun burns Brighter in the night Red sun burns Can make you feel all right But everywhere you go here's still not enough For everyone |

You smile at the rain
While counting your change That's what you do Take a walk in the town That saw you drown That's what you do Chance come and make me These times are for taking Gold and silver All that you've got Dance before me in a glass Was the closest that I ever got Rubies Diamonds All that you've got Crawling over broken glass Can't buy you love Lights are erased Get out of my way So much to do The bills that you pay Are here to stay One more for you Love please believe me These times are for taking Gold and silver All that you've got Dance before me in a glass Was that closest that I ever got Rubies Diamonds All that you've go t Crawling over broken glass Can't buy you love Brass and tin For your sins Thank you Messages come Messages sent That's what you do Looking so tired Hired and Fired That's what you do Breath don't forsake me These times are for taking Gold and silver All that you've got Dance before me in a glass Was that closest that I ever got Rubies Diamonds All that you've got Crawling over broken glass Can't buy you love |
