Don't hang that sign on me
You're the stranger Don't try to talk to me You're the stranger On the seas They came from far away From the skies Their silver birds of prey In one day Ten thousand years could change We are fools To live your pilgrim ways Don't hang that sign on me You're the stranger Don't try to talk to me You're the stranger And we drive Five hundred miles this time To the edge Of crystal-cut blue sky Silence breathes South of the border line Silent trees Look back and wonder why Did father and his holy son Spread the word and point the gun? And where the eagle used to fly They carve their concrete in the sky Tearing at our mother's skin Taking all her blood within Remember how it used to be? Did father and his holy son Spread the word and point the gun And where the eagle used to fly They carve their concrete in the sky Tearing at our mother's skin Taking all her blood within Remember how it used to be? Stand up again and say: Don't hang that sign on me You're the stranger Don't try to talk to me You're the stranger Don't hang that sign on me You're the stranger Don't try to talk to me You're the stranger Music & lyrics by: geoff downes & john payne |

If I whispered words, would you hear them now?
Would you cross the deepest seas? In the fiercest winds, on the burning trail, Seal it with your word. If I whispered words, would you keep a lie? Would you promise me till time? So if we grow old and the distance parts, So seal it with your word. Oh, I'll scream upon the hill, So, you can hear me still. Now, will we ever fade? I seal it with my word. If I whispered words, would you hear them now? Would you cross the deepest seas? In the fiercest winds, on the burning trail, Seal it with your word. |

Gazing at our sunrise Reflected in your clear eyes Misty morning forest smoke fires Make our way through the broken day I couldn't stand to stay Without you We must keep moving While the light is clearing Leaving your dark world behind you You have to run Life is just begun I'll never be alone Without you One chilling thought Come screaming through the dark I saw a yellow moon at midnight And now you woke Glowing in the smoke I'm suddenly alone Without you Wanting things the way they used to be You don't know what that can do to me One more day, maybe never Might as well be forever Outside the light,fading as I write And another night reminds me As I sleep, memory that I keep It's just another night Without you It seems so long I've been holding on Since I felt my arms around you Time will go, both of us will know Never be a day Without you |

It was a lie
Nothing was real Just a disguise you're using You're using still When you meet preaacher man Remind him of your fear Over which you operate Operate control When the truth is recalled The evidence resound It's the price you'll pay On the rebound CHORUS Wish I'd known all along What you're running from Wish I'd now all along You can't choose between weak or strong But you're not there To turn the key On your own two feet Two feet on the ground Get a grip right on To the situation Try to choose what You choose to ignore CHORUS Your time has come It's not too late Don't hesitate Hesitate Hesitate Wish I'd known all along What you're running from Wish I'd known all along What you're running from When the present destroys the past CHORUS When the present destroys the past When the present destroys the past |

Whenever your shadow falls on stony ground
And there's not a hand for you to hold Whenever the dreams you dream come crashing down Every time you think of home Remember that you're not alone And we'll be with you heart and soul Wherever you are And if you should lose your path along the way And find yourself walking in the dark Whenever the ones you love seem far away Every time you think of home Remember that you're not alone And we'll be with you heart and soul Wherever you are Whenever the fears you hide come reaching through Every time you think of home Remember that you're not alone And we'll be with you heart and soul Every time you think of home Remember that you're not alone And we'll be with you heart and soul We'll be with you heart and soul Wherever you are We're with you heart and soul Music & lyrics by: andrew gold, graham gouldman, geoff downes & john payne |

It crawls inside you
Like a strange disease One time the giver Next time the thief I know what you know So I won't let this go You choose your brother If he looks the same You dirty white boy It's all for gain But I know what you know So I won't let this go What about love? And the human race What about love? It's a different face What about love? Why can't we embrace? I've got to know I want to know The start of reason Is the end of hate Progressive healing For the corporate But I know what you know So I won't let this go What about love? And the human race What about love? It's a different face What about love? Why can't we embrace? I've got to know What about love? And the human race What about love?

Took the ground,
From underneath my feet. Silent town, Ghosts this empty street. I see the home that once was mine, Now just bones of former life. Touch this page of sacred time, again, I see you call... You don't have to be strong for me. I won't shoot your defences down. Whatever happens, I want you to see We can face it together. And turn it around. A new life Grows within his hands. Coming back To this promised land. And with these bones we will rebuild, To the flesh of future life. Giving back that sacred time, again... You don't have to be strong for me. I won't shoot your defences down. Whatever happens, I want you to see, We can face it together. And turn it around. |

Invisible sun cast your shadow over me
As wind cuts like a knife Catapulting me from life with you Waiting on an empty street, hiding from the sun And in one place or another All my memories still remain You've been taken from my eyes But you're running through my veins Down corridors of rocks and sand It's littered and it's torn The wear and tear from dusk till dawn Waiting on an empty street, hiding from the sun And in one place or another All my memories still remain You've been taken from my eyes But you're running through my veins You've been taken from my eyes But you're running through my veins This treasure can be anyone's To believe in only one It's not a foolish thing, there's no comparison Waiting on an empty street, hiding from the sun And in one place or another All my memories still remain You've been taken from my eyes But you're running through my veins You've been taken from my eyes But you're running through my veins You've been taken from my eyes But you're running through my veins Through my veins, through my veins Through my veins, through my veins Through my veins, through my veins Through my veins |

Nothing ventured nothing gained
Tired and washed out by the pain Do we share this problem, will it slip away ? Or do we fight another day ? Was I looking for a friend ? One I count on ?ill the end Is there something that I didn? do ? Does it all begin with you ? CHORUS So how did I, Oh I Give you reason ? But how did I, Oh I Give you reason ? After all the fallen tears When we wake the taken dream Who let the water slowly draw away ? All the colours that we made CHORUS To give you reason, to change the river? flow To give you reason, to point the bone To give you reason, go set your spirit free I don? know, I don? know why Is there nothing I can say ? Is there nothing I can do, girl ? Didn? mean to break your life Didn? mean to burn your world, no CHORUS You can keep the silver band You can have the memories, girl Now as 'Pilate' cleans the hands It? no more to do with me, no CHORUS So how did I, Oh I Give you reason ?

"what passing-bells for these who die as cattle?
- only the monstrous anger of the guns. Only the stuttering rifles' rapid rattle Can patter out their hasty orisons. No mockeries now for them; no prayers nor bells; Nor any voice of mourning save the choirs, - The shrill, demented choirs of wailing shells; And bugles calling for them from sad shires." (wilfred owen, 1918) Now the day has run When the cover comes But any fool can see Ahead Silence is my friend But it has to end Any fool can see Ahead It's the longest night It's the longest night Cold winds may blow On the longest night So we write our letters To those far away Any fool can see Ahead The distant sound of thunder A choir of wailing shells Any fool can see Ahead It's the longest night It's the longest night Cold winds may blow On the longest night I don't want to fight I don't know who's right Cold winds they blow On this longest night It's the longest night It's the longest night Cold winds may blow On this longest night Music & lyrics by: geoff downes, john payne & ben woolfenden |

Don't look at my face It's the last time It's not forever The dust in the wind It's the last time One world, one dream The stars in your hand No light, no life The scars are made by man Heaven can't help you now In this madness Take it while you can It's the last time This holy water Running away For the last time One world, one dream The stars in your hand No light, no life So heal the scars of man One chance, this night To shine on this land This time, with pride Give back now while you can All these fields, that once were green Have turned to smoke and steel The sun will fall, and the last moon rise Don't turn this tide away If you want it So start it again It's the last time (the scars were made by man) It's not forever The dust is the wind For the last time One world, one dream The stars in your hand No light, no life So heal the scars of man One chance, this night To shine on this land This time, with pride Give back now while you can Music & lyrics by: geoff downes & john payne |

Standing on the border,
Waiting on the line. Silence is a stranger, In these troubled times. I recall a better place, Where I controlled my mind. We had no fears at all... The day before the war. Hands across the water, The sun is in the East. Who will feed the famine After lions feast? In the name of Jesus, In the name of God, You took it all in vain... The day before the war. Standing on the border, Waiting on the line. Feet in bloody water, Deafened by the crime. I recall the beauty, Young will never see. We had no fears at all... The day before the war. Hearts across the water, The sun is in the East. Ships arrived this morning, From the burning sea. Take away the glory, Take away the pain. You were a friend of mine... The day before the war. |

Where were you yesterday?
I called you up No one answered The phone rings now All the time I pick it up No one answers I know it seems like I just can't go ahead Sometimes it's like holding a gun to my head I get the green light but I'm still seeing red Something I can't stand Suspicion Suspicion In the park, yesterday I saw a face that spelled danger A friendly smile, a worried look I mistook for a stranger I keep on fighting and I know I can't win Something's biting me I'll never give in Coming back to me again and again The message in my hand Suspicion Suspicion Eating away at me, it won't let go Suspicion is following, everywhere I go He walks before me, he's someone that I don't know Suspicion Suspicion Where were you yesterday? Where will you be tomorrow? |

Her fingers feel the air
The mantle now so bare From green then into brown Lie scattered all around We hope they will return Like those before did learn Now that their summer's gone We have to carry on Till we rise, i just can't wait Now tell me, who are you To judge my fate? Oh, the rain burns on Now that summer's gone Oh, the wind blows strong Now that summer's gone Across the fields we ran To emerald castles, banned By rule of modern man Who built a winterland Then as the seasons change He'll fly and hide away Above a cloud of words On wings of gold i heard We must rise, it's not too late Now tell me, who are you To change our fate? |

Shake the hand of time
With the builders of stone Are you recognized? You're not going home Have to find a hideaway So turn up the neighbors The eagle is listening today It's not up to me To change what has been done It's not up to me A speechless world looks on It just has to be! Silent nation No longer have a name A number will do Cutting the wires of doom 'Cos they're watching you Raging in thought Mouthless, the millions obey So call off your dogs You preachers of what we can say It's not up to me To change what has been done It's not up to me A speechless world looks on It just has to be! Silent nation In a silent nation We must change what has been done It's a travesty Silent nation It's not up to me To change what has been done It's not up to me A speechless world looks on It just has to be!

Words trip from my tongue
Saying, "be strong, always be strong" Scenes flash past my eyes Telling me here is the where we belong If you believe what I believe Then we're home, yeah, we're home CHORUS I should have seen it coming I could have worked it out Your feminine mentality Reveals the things I cannot see I should have seen it coming I could have worked it out The danger signs have left my mind It's way beyond a shadow of a doubt So it won't be long Stay with me now, where you belong It's our right to fly to the stars Just for one night this world is ours If you believe what I believe Then we're home, yeah, we're home CHORUS CHORUS CHORUS |

When you wake, I'll be gone
Just a space, an empty chair And I know, I was wrong Just one more time, then I'll be gone Who stopped the sky from falling? Who held you back from harm? Who stood as walls were falling? A call still guides us on Chorus: It's a sad situation And no one's to blame I'ts a sad situation Now you're gone It's a sad situation Which someday may change It's a sad situation Now you're gone In the dawn, turn the page We stand alone, as the lions rage I suppose we'll move on A fight of minds, that still breathe strong Who stopped the sky from falling? Who held you back from harm? WHo held you close when hurting? Who keeps the doves of hope? Chorus |

Rock and roll dream Not what it seems Who is the dreamer now? When I see the faces from the limousine No chance of our survival Armed forces, guardians of the law Awaiting our arrival They all are young We all were young And I've seen this place before Open up the door Let us in All the things I've seen Words I said, I didn't mean Feelings, I took for granted But now reality One thing we could never see Everything, we always wanted They all are young We all were young And I've seen this place before Open up the door Let us in {chorus} If I had the choice Words came through my voice I should have left unspoken Now it's obvious Clear to all of us The dream that now is broken Take the stage tonight Go face the lights With this image you should keep You're crying in your sleep Tonight {chorus} |
