To this I am resigned But... to an outside world I will not be defined 'Cause I'm neither fish... nor flesh |

I have faith in these desolate times
A roar down the road of a rumbling war I have faith in these desolate times A chill from the eyes of a man of political skill I have faith but for how much longer? It seems to me, bitter trees, full of fleas Summarily hold the branches People we, falling leaves, watching thieves Stealing keys, to our ranches I have faith in these desolate times A score to the sound of the feet of a journeyman's tour I have faith in these desolate times A feel and a hope and belief that man's peace will be still I have faith but for how much longer? The village green, people seen, full of beans Imagining the course of action And in between, shopping scenes, plasticine Suburban dreams, an empty faction I have faith in these desolate times Show fear, and the smoke of a gun trigger pulling finger pressure comes near I have faith in these desolate times Before long, the lamb and the lion may lie with the lass in the grass at dawn I have faith but for how much longer? |

Desert sands
Heart's homeland 'Til you Flesh and bones Made of stone 'Til you Seasons never changed Reasons never came So it feels so good to love Someone like you Birds in trees Fantasies 'Til you Fire's cry The embers die 'Til you Dying on the roam Crying for a home And so it feels so good to love Someone like you |

Under a temperamental sun
On the dark hillside of your sorrow If there's pain in your heart Let it go Just reach inside and let it go Now dig To know someone deeply Is to know someone softly To know someone deeply Is to know someone softly Listen to me know In my love garden I wrestled with an angel Not in a dream Her eyes did seem Like the grapes of the vine Her lips were made like the gates of Heaven Not to be missed Made to be kissed But not to kiss goodbye The larger picture Will come with time But for tonight, dear Let's lullabye To know someone deeply Is to know someone softly To know someone deeply Is to know someone softly Listen to me know Once a flower opens It never closes Until it dies And the it lies Amongst the roses I wanted to play her like A black grand piano A clarinet A minuet Or lyric soprano In my arms there's A safety zone Where nothing can harm you Your heart or home To know someone deeply Is to know someone softly To know someone deeply Is to know someone softly Sing Dum Dum Dum Dum Sha La La Da Da Dum Sha La La La La To know someone deeply Is to know someone softly To know someone deeply Is to know someone softly |

Hold back your diamonds and pearls
'Cause the attraction's no good to me Hold back your California Girls Your prescriptions and your limousines Hold back your influential friends For they are really not my type 'Cause just as long as I've got my baby I'll be alright I'll be alright Despite all the finer things She'd have if she were monied Like a rich girl I'll be alright Despite all the candy coloured things The things that are so untrue Hold back your perfumes so rare 'Cause she smells like a rose untorn Hold back your designer underwear She's a beauty just the way she was born She may not move like Fred Astaire But her gingerly walk is out of sight 'Cause just as long as I've got my baby I'll be alright I'll be alright Despite all the finer things She'd have if she were monied Like a rich girl I'll be alright Despite all the candy coloured things The things that are so untrue I'll sing it for the last time y'all Hold back your critical reviews 'Cause my baby don't need the hype We're happy just to pay our little dues So get movin', get on your bike 'Cause just as long as I've got my baby If I can hold on and keep my baby If I can just hold on and keep my baby I'll be alright |

Billy was a young boy
Who's fate did decree That he would like only other boys So being with a boy came to him naturally Billy was a green boy His thoughts so naive He wondered why he was so victimised And his fear brought him close to me suddenly But Billy my friend Don't fall in love with me I'm not that kind of guy But I'll stand by your side If you need me to be But Billy my friend Don't fall in love with me Though it can't be wrong to be To be what you are Billy was a sick boy His life fading to grey He tried to grab for straws of family But his loved ones turned young Billy away Billy died a young man His face to the wind And of the things I regret the most Was seeing how hate and fear killed a friend But Billy my friend Don't fall in love with me I'm not that kind of guy But I'll stand by your side If you need me to be But Billy my friend Don't fall in love with me Though it can't be wrong to be To be what you are |

We're on the negative side of love
I'm subject to all bizarre whims she fancies I'm running escape to find the handle Of the door she locks me up in She's on the laughing side of sin What have I done in all my past lives (To end up on) This side of Love? We're on a permanent twist of fate She has dominion over time and torture I'm pinching myself to convince me that I'm in a living nightmare The killer attraction of a dare What have I done, emasculation (To end up on) This side of Love? If I should stay (Will the beat go on?) I must be strong (We tell you every day) Will I return (To normal lovers again?) Please peel my skin ('Cause my soul is burning) We're on a roundabout whirl of scorn The demons are smiling and the angels snoring I feel like a stepchild Caeser that's been Beaten and bruised to please her Wearing a rusted ring of thorns What have I done to piss the Gods off (To end up on) This side of Love? If I should stay (Will the beat go on?) I must be strong (We tell you every day) Will I return (To normal lovers again?) Please peel my skin ('Cause my soul is burning) We're on the negative side of love I see my condition as a sign of service I'll snuggle up close to her knowing That I'm practising my religion Warming the barrel of a gun This will be the deed that finds me next time (On this side of) (On this side of) (On this side of) This side of Love |

Your dangerous charm and your
Glamorous arrogance thrilled me In the melancholy winter time (Uncle Bill please give me time) But this war of attrition To prove your world ambition Worries me And you're too concerned with the Weight you want to lose Well if you listen to confusion Long enough it starts to make sense Can you hear me talking to ya? [Chorus:] Roly poly Holy holy Time is tight Get it right Aren't you lonely? Roly poly Holy holy Time is tight Get it right Aren't you lonely? Your fatalist's closet Where blood stained deposits hide deeply Underneath the cusp of venus fly A terrible beauty You are my dear of Aphrodisiacs and diamonds But your lonely tears trail Your penis envy eyes And now stop worrying about your Weight it looks alright to me dear Can you hear me talking to ya? [Chorus] All your somethings Are turning into nothings As you reach for Something greed inspired And all the hopes that I once held as your lover Are falling down as My manhood loses fire Your kinship with money A Queen bee with honey Suits you As you now belong to the ever Changing guard A signpost for progress A fine token lioness Leaves me 'Cause as you say dear i'm just a Face without a card Well if you listen to confusion Long enough it starts to make sense Can you hear me talking to ya? [Chorus] |

As I hold my head down
Against a whipping hard rain babe Slaps me like a sheet Sheets of rain coming down As I dig my heels deep In a minefield of muddy water I hear a voice loud and low Stays with me wherever I go sayin' You will pay tomorrow for what You do today Accept this as a truth For old as well as youth You will pay tomorrow for what You do today As sure as you are born Though you may be weak and torn As a snake pulls up beside me Thinking that my name is Eve My dark side starts to chide me But I bring him down to his knees As I close my eyes tight Deep in meditation Peaceful sleep evades me But a low pitched drone invades me sayin' You will pay tomorrow for what You do today Though you run you cannot hide It's a truth that shall abide sayin' You will pay tomorrow for what You do today It will find you in the morning A heartache for your warning As I shake my head twice Saying I'd rather fight than switch I was land rich but penny poor But I couldn't tell which from which As my kneecaps break the fall Of my begging for grace and favour Bell, Book and Candle holds me But a spellbinding whisper scolds me saying You will pay tomorrow for what You do today Though your vision may be bleary And your eyes that see may be weary - but You will pay tomorrow for what You do today On your mind it will wear Ignore it if you dare As I shed my second skin Beneath a bullet box roller-coaster I view my transformation Through the veil of a jokester As I gain my second sight I shed a tear and I shake the crowd I used to rather be dead than humble But now I'd rather be dead than proud You will pay tomorrow for what You do today After deep time tossed confusion I came to my own conclusion that You will pay tomorrow for what You do today Accept this as a notion As fish breathe in the dirty ocean |

(Spoken Intro)
People This is not a film This is my song Now pick up your shovel and Dig I don't want to bring your Gods down babe I don't want to bring your Gods down babe Their flesh and blood for you too real The wine that flows from their nostrils Too red Their master strokes too fundamental Their saint soaked cathedrals too done I don't want to bring your Gods down babe I don't want to bring your Gods down babe The ferocity of their cat claws too steel And we the weak kneed weeds of their Weaker breed never paused to feel We're not the masters of the land we survey But I guess you'd come to that conclusion When you're ready in your own time anyway I don't want to bring your Gods down babe I don't want to bring your Gods down babe Because their armour and their crest cuts too deep And the cold landcliffs where they rest are far too steep But I just wanna say to you that like your Gods, your guilt and your beliefs I too wanna be With you 'til the very end babe |

Shine on your light
Lead me to your home Lower your sights Put away your comb Though black babies are starving And cows fed for the carving All I know is I'm lonely And I need to be with someone tonight Lift up your chin Let me see your eyes Words are not my yen My tongue is often tied Though apartheid's a greater issue I long to hear "I miss you" All I know is I'm lonely And I need to be with someone tonight 'Till men stop being intimidated By women who have made it All I know is I'm lonely And I need to be with someone tonight |
