I'm not afraid of anything in the world
There's nothing you can throw at me that I haven't already heard I'm just trying to find a decent melody A song that I can sing in my own company I never thought you were a fool But darling, look at you You gotta stand up straight, carry your own weight These tears are going nowhere, baby You've got to get yourself together You've got stuck in a moment and now you can't get out of it Don`t say later will be better now you're stuck in a moment And you can't get out of it I will not forsake, the colours that you bring But the night you filled with fireworks They left you with nothing I am still enchanted by the light you brought to me I still listen through your ears, and through your eyes I can see And you are such a fool To worry like you do I now it's tough, and you can never get enough Of what you don't really need now... my oh my You've got to get yourself together You've got stuck in a moment and now you can't get out of it Oh love look at you now You've got yourself stuck in a moment and now you can't get out of it I was unconscious, half asleep The water is warm till you discover how deep... I wasn't jumping... for me it was a fall It's a long way down to nothing at all You've got to get yourself together You've got stuck in a moment and now you can't get out of it Don`t say later will be better now you're stuck in a moment and you can't get out of it And if the night runs over And if the day won't last And if our way should falter Along the stony pass And if the night runs over And if the day won't last And if our way should falter Along the stony pass It's just a moment This time will pass |

The heart is a bloom, shoots up through the stony ground
but there's no room, no space to rent in this town You're out of luck, and the reason that you had to care the traffic is stuck, and you're not moving anywhere You thought you'd found a friend, to take you out of this place someone you could lend a hand in return for grace It's a beautiful day. (day . . .) The sky falls, and you feel like it's a beautiful day. (day . . .) Don't let it get away You're on the road, but you've got no destination You're in the mud, in the maze of her imagination You love this town, even if that doesn't ring true you've been all over, and it's been all over you It's a beautiful day (day . . .) don't let it get away It's a beautiful day. (day . . .) hoo . . hoo . . . hoo Touch me take me to that other place Teach me . . . oh I know I'm not a hopeless case. See the world in green and blue see China right in front of you see the canyons broken by cloud see the tuna fleets clearing the sea out see the Bedouin fires at night see the oil fields at first light, and see the bird with a leaf in her mouth After the flood all the colours came out (day . . .) It was a beautiful day (day . . .) don't let it get away Beautiful day (day . . .) Touch me take me to that other place Reach me I know I'm not a hopeless case What you don't have, you don't need it now What you don't know, you can feel it somehow What you don't have, you don't need it now don't need it now . . . [It] Was a beautiful day |

In New York freedom looks like too many choices
In New York I found a friend to drown out the other voices Voices on the cell phone Voices from home Voices of the hard sell Voices down the stairwell In New York, just got a place in New York In New York summers get hot, well into the hundreds You can't walk around the block without a change of clothing Hot as a hairdryer in your face Hot as a handbag and a can of mace In New York, I just got a place in New York New York, New York In New York you can forget, forget how to sit still Tell yourself you will stay in But it's down to Alphaville New York, New York, New York New York, New York, New York The Irish have been coming here for years Feel like they own the place They got the airport, city hall, concrete, asphalt, they even got the police Irish, Italians, Jews and HIspanics Religious nuts, political fanatics in the stew Living happily not like me and you That's where I lost you...New York New York, New York New York, New York In New York I lost it all to you and your vices Still I'm staying on to figure out my mid life crisis I hit an iceberg in my life But you know I'm still afloat You lose your balance, lose your wife In the queue for the lifeboat You got to put the women and children first But you got an unquenchable thirst for New York New York, New York New York, New York In thew stillness of the evening When the sun has had its day I heard your voice a-whispering Come away child New York, New York |
