From the mountain tops
Down to the sunny street A different drum is playing a different kind of beat It's like a mystery That never ends I see you crying and I want to kill your friends I hear your footsteps in the street It won't be long before we meet It's obvious Just count me in and count me out And I'll be waiting for the shout Oblivious Met Mo and she's okay Said no one really changed Got different badges but they wear them just the same Down by the ballroom I recognized That flaming fountain in those kindred caring eyes I hear your footsteps in the street It won't be long before we meet It's obvious Just count me in and count me out And I'll be waiting for the shout Oblivious I hope it haunts me 'til I'm hopeless I hope it hits you when you go And sometimes on the edge of sleeping It rises up to let me know It's not so deep, I'm not so slow They're calling all the shots They'll call and say they phoned They'll call us lonely when we're really just alone And like a funny film It's kinda cute They've bought the bullets and there's no one left to shoot I hear your footsteps in the street It won't be long before we meet It's obvious Just count me in and count me out And I'll be waiting for the shout Oblivious I hear your footsteps in the street It won't be long before we meet It's obvious Just count me in and count me out And I'll be waiting for the shout Oblivious |

Walk out to winter, swear I'll be there.
Chill will wake you, high and dry You'll wonder why. We met in the summer and walked 'til the fall And breathless we talked, it was tongues. Despite what they'll say, it wasn't youth, we'd hit the truth Faces of Strummer that fell from your wall And nothing was left where they hung So sweet and bitter, they're what we found So drink them down and Walk out to winter, swear I'll be there. Chill will wake you, high and dry You'll wonder why. Walk out to winter, swear I'll be there. Chance is buried just below the blinding snow. You burn in the breadline and ribbons and all So walk to winter You won't be late, you'll always wait This generation, the walk to the wall But I'm not angry, get your gear Get out of here and Walk out to winter, swear I'll be there. Chill will wake you, high and dry You'll wonder why. Walk out to winter, swear I'll be there. Chance is buried just below the blinding snow. Walk out to winter, swear I'll be there. Chill will wake you, high and dry Walk out to winter, swear I'll be there. You'll find, Snowblind This is life This is life |

Once I was happy in happy extremes
These bitter tokens are worthless to me So you appear and say how I've grown Fill me up with faces I've known. In this light they're far from divine I'll save them up and spend them when I have time. The salted taste of all your tears and woes Sent me in haste my melancholy rose Those tasteless lips were closed You watched me come, you'll see me go. Once I was happy in happy extremes Packing my bags for the path of the free From pillar to post I am driven it seems These bitter tokens are worthless to me Just like June the curtains are closed The ghost of shame he sits here and sighs I'll love the flames like I've loved the cold I'll learn to love the life of the "could I, could I, could I" So I don't cross my fingers any more You looked for rags and found them at your door How could you ask for more Than everything you've heard before? Once I was happy in happy extremes Packing my bags for the path of the free From pillar to post I am driven it seems These bitter tokens are worthless to me Once I was happy in happy extremes Packing my bags for the path of the free From pillar to post I am driven it seems These bitter tokens are worthless to me Once I was happy in happy extremes Packing my bags for the path of the free From pillar to post I am driven it seems These bitter tokens are worthless to me |

Tears, just like the jewels,
Adorn their corporate crown, Weigh on me worthless and I, Shake them down and leave now, And have no royal things. You, would consecrate the ground, I paced in pain, And though those pavements, Caught your sorrow stains, They fall from me and I say, Maybe don't fall for anything, That says it's never gonna, Give you everything. I wish myself into your arms, To know that all I need is everything. The size of the sea, and the sun in my eyes, And the line in my head, Yearning for more, only for more. These days are are bright as the days I have seen In the wildest of dreams, Yearning for more, only for more. I wish myself into your arms, To know that all I need is everything. Hold back the night, I am tired of my sight That won't see anymore, More than today, threatening to stay. Hold back the night, I am tired of my sight That won't see anymore, ""Show me you care"", is ""Show me the door"". |

I'm in love with everything
That breaks the grip of caution On our getting up and leaving For a bigger day, still some say That all you need is money To be free from what is poor Well that's the lie of looking up From somewhere down. Chorus: Because the sun will show to testify That all the time between belongs to you and I, To be still on fire, And when the strongest words have all been used And all the new ones sound confused, To be still on fire. Somewhere in the middle We could see through all the people And be playing second fiddle And be feeling sore, Shown the door. To chase out all the child in you Is throwing out the baby for the Chance to make it easy to be more. Chorus |

I've been searching
Seems like so long For perfection In a world made wrong Here it's hard to be strong Seems like we're heading Down and down and down But that's love In my life, a million dreams take over Paradise, a million miles away You've been hurting And I can see As the world turns round and round You spin with me And when you're down Don't you know I'm down too But up or down There's nowhere else I'd rather be Than with you In my mind, a million dreams take over Paradise, a million miles away In my life, a million dreams take over Paradise, a million miles away But walking down this lonely road I stop and think of you And I can see now 'cos I believe now Paradise is true Paradise is you |

Jock's got a vote in Parochia
10 long years and he's still got her Paying tax and and doing stir Worry about it later And the wind blows hot and the wind blows cold But it blows us good so we've been told Music's food 'til the art-biz folds Let them all eat culture The past is steeped in shame But tomorrow's fair game For a life that's fit for living Good morning, Britain 20 years and a loaded gun Funerals, fear and the war ain't won Paddy's still a figure of fun It lightens up the danger Corporal sneers at a Catholic boy And he eyes his gun like a rich man's toy He's killing more than Celtic joy Death is not a stranger Taffy's time's gonna come one day It's a loud sweet voice and it won't give way A house is not a holiday Your sons are leaving home, Neil In the hills and the valleys and far away You can hear the song of democracy The echo of eternity With a Rak-a-Rak-a feel The past is steeped in shame But tomorrow's fair game For a life that's fit for living Good morning, Britain From the Tyne to where to the Thames does flow My English brothers and sisters know It's not a case of where you go It's race and creed and color From the police cell to the deep dark grave On the underground's just a stop away Don't be too black, don't be too gay Just get a little duller But in this green and pleasant land Where I make my home I make my stand Make it cool just to be a man A uniform's a traitor Love is international And if you stand or if you fall Just let them know you gave your all Worry about it later The past is steeped in shame But tomorrow's fair game For a life that's fit for living Good morning, Britain The past is steeped in shame But tomorrow's fair game For a life that's fit for living Good morning, Britain |

I look around me and what do I see? Sadness surrounds me, alone as can be With too much time and too much distance. These chains that bind me They won't set me free, I look behind me and coming for me Is my best friend, she's my resistance. Chorus: So if you find yourself alone and so unkind, And if you've asked yourself, over and over, And even if your heartbeats hurt like goodbyes, Try, try, try Open your mind, spend some time, With the gentle kind I was torn between the darkness and the light, Lost to all belief that it could turn out right. But my quiet friend turned me round, Made me see again. Took my hand, said nothing much, No lesson learned, just a gentle touch And I am coming round, I am coming round again. Chorus Cos' in a hard world, with fastness and an eye on the money, I heard a soft voice, saying "never worry, hold on honey" When my world was gone, a whisper kind of eased my mind. And I am holdin' on, To the gentle kind. |

Ran a redlight Running lonely Through Gaudi's soft confusion Hey, hey my Barcelonian Such a gentle jones Running through my bones Placa Reial calls It calls, it calls It calls the night home. Chorus: And then her eyes Like spanish horses Danced alive as language died They danced Like spanish horses As saddened skies Descended on the night We saw two ships set sail And the lights danced On the water, they danced They danced Like spanish horses Trying to exorcise The thought that daytime dies Race, run and stumble Fall into dark See the fire, see the spark Then you fall, then you fall So free and humble You tumble. Chorus You're born from bloody revolution You're lost to simplicity And small solutions So you burn When you're born Then you burn Burn, burn... |

Well, when I've questioned All I could and come undone And only sadness stands Between me and the sun When loving leaves and leaves me Waiting on the one And my heart can't hide And when seduction separates Me from surprise I open my eyes and I let your love decide I let your love decide I let your love decide Well, when I saw you in the spring You caught my eye Eluded me and made me wonder why An unassuming, undermining kinda guy Could not be on your side And when your brown eyes and my blue Did so collide I sat by your side and I shied away And I let your love decide I let your love decide I let your love decide Well, if the world was like I wished When I was young When all the things that I had thought Could still be done When we could win the wars And wars could still be won And I didn't miss you And when the world was opening up Like a father to his son And I could kiss you Well, let your love decide Well, let your love decide So let your love decide |

When the rainy season comes I hang my head For all the things I've seen And done and said And then I wonder why I hold my head up high And feel the rain The storm came creeping Like a song I ought to know And caught me sleeping deep in thoughts I thought should grow And then I opened up Prepared to fill my cup And sing it slow But in the darkness I could see the demons leap They were the devils I had come upon in sleep And as I made to sing The devils spread their wings And sang like angels So sweet So when the rainy season comes I hang my head For all the things I have seen and done And sung and said And when my tears are dry I hold my head up high and feel the rain Well, baby I never said I was gonna be jesus Though you're searching For a saviour in your mind Never said I'd be dealing down any forgiveness So let me save your precious time And when your tears are dry Forever wave goodbye to chasing rainbows When the rainy season comes I hang my head For all the things I have seen and done And sung and said And when my tears are dry I hold my head up high And feel the rain |

Sand seperates the sea From me on my desert island Sun obliterates the sky And i, I'm just like anyone No matter how I try I wanna see the sun. And it shines To luminate the distance Illustrate the difference Between you and me And it collides with clouds That set the sky free Indicating right, indicating wrong I'm just like anyone I wanna see the sun. Moon through many stages move And light love Like a silent l.d. Swoon and every single kiss You ever lit like this Is gonna feel like bliss So just reflect the sun And guide everyone. And it shines To luminate the distance Illustrate the difference Between you and me And it collides with clouds That set the sky free Indicating right, indicating wrong So just reflect the sun And guide everyone. A cable car above the bay Below the stars saying "are you okay? " To the one you love. It sings like a song As it strings you along You suspend your belief There's no need, baby I've gone there Stars shone there. And they shine To luminate the distance Illustrate the difference Between you and me See them collide with clouds That set the sky free Indicating right, indicating wrong And just like anyone I wanna see the sun I wanna see the moon I wanna see the stars I wanna see them shine. |
