Everybody wants to be happy
Everybody wants more money Everybody wants more loving Everybody wants the same thing I came across the border through the east and the west divide The land between the trenches was patrolled by the deaf and the blind The blind were shouting 'Listen!' While the deaf said 'Can't you see?' Somewhere deep in no man's land some man has lost a key I open up into this mystery I have seen I have seen I have seen There's centuries of fighting so I brought myself a gun The salesman called it 'freedom' so my enemy bought a bigger one I'm saving up for a missile that will shoot him up with love Now his finger's on my button and my hand is in his glove I opened up into this mystery Every key can lock you up or set you free I believe that there is magic in this mystery I have seen I have seen I have seen Everybody wants to be happy Everybody wants more money Everybody wants the same thing I have seen I have seen I have seen I have seen I have seen I have seen I have seen I have seen I have seen I have seen I have seen I have seen |

You might as well surrender now You'll never hold that stance With all my words I can't find one To help you understand It's not too late Take up the cup Put down your weapons and choose But you say life's so unfair Oh you say life's so unfair You can ill aford to hold to this views You need something to blame But it's you Yes it's you It's your truth Someone made you I don't know ,if you're sick I confort You run away My simpathy You twist it Your reflex gets in the way You mother me I son you You act up I can't get through This foosteps So ancient In your eyes I'm your infant Your ancient Full circle In my eyes You're my infant Dead ball in our court There's a dead ball in our court We just say life's so unfair Yes you say life's so unfair You need something to blame But it's you Yes it's you It's your truth |

Leave the room don't use the door
we're only on the 13th floor your veil is lifting, you've nothing on every god has had its day, every caesar should be spade your veil is lifting and we can see right through your suit of tears you don't own us, can't control us Avalanche! Every face a stepping stone, at the top's a throne of bones your curtain's twitching, but you can't see past your daily sneer we don't fear you, now we see you Avalanche! Now we got into your shoes, its your turn to be abused the heat is rising, and you can't hold back this rage with fear you accused us while you used us Avalanche! you accused us while you screwed us Avalanche! |

Rain, rain’s floating down again
Surround your mind Soft cloud, take me around again On your rain My dreams tell me everything Surprise around Call out your name I need help again For all love brigade What you was, said is sure Running on the seventh floor Do it all, let it slide Breathe yourself goodbye See it all through the wall Living outside again Need a long way to go Said you our escape I died, when you fall again Say out I lied I love feeling small again All around, satisfied |

I've been digging this grave, but now that it's made
I see that black is one hell of a colour Want to break out so I start to shout But the mortician's returned to his parlour Black hole Wrapped in my shroud upstairs, the music's so loud That I can't concentrate on my sorrow Let down my hair and find something to wear And then dance myself into tomorrow Black hole I'm in a hole here and all I can see Are these grey walls that are closing in on me Throw me a ladder, lend me an arm Beam me up Scotty, lift me from harm Oh why, why deep holes? Oh I love my holes Black hole If the weather would change these clouds might blow away And my body'd be wrapped up in sunshine I want out of this wind that is wearing me thin Blasting my flesh to the marrow Why dig holes? Why deep holes? Black hole |

Blue pastures - fade away
Green rivers in silver light I'm walking to the sound of distant bells So peaceful I don't know who I am And just when I think its clear, it turns all grey again And I wonder who will find me in the snow And just when I thought I was free I got pulled in again Once you're in, you're in. Blue pastures calling home I'm walking but I can't stand anymore Hear voices can't tell near or far Weird voices - lay me down And I don't see why I'm obliged to just carry on When everything I touch turns out wrong And I feel I've committed some crime - but I don't know what I've done One day life just wins One day life just wins Still breathing but I'm tired and I wanna go home Still breathing but i'm not sure anymore Still breathing But it doesn't really matter if I fade away. Fall into this sleep - fall into the deep. |

Go walkabout, I've got the bends from pressure. This is a testing time when the choise is mine Am I a fool for love or foolish with desire. You can throw him out, you can spit on him. Call what he does a sin if it makes you feel better. And I can't believe you're all I'll ever need And I need to feel that you're not holding me And the way I feel just makes me want to scream Come home, Come home, Come home Come home, Come home, Come home After thirty years I've become my fears I've become the kind of man I've always hated. I am pulled apart, and my swollen heart Has flipped out of the pan into the fire. I am in love insane with a sense of shame that I threw stones at the condemned and now I'm slated. And I don't believe you're all I'll ever need And I need to feel that you're not holding me But the way I feel just makes me want to scream Come home, Come home, Come home Come home, Come home, Come home Come home, Come home, Come home |

I held it back and now it swings. Just lead me on. You know the way. I know the game I know the pain I've been dreaming of gold I've been dreaming of fame I've been dreaming of change Dreaming up tomorrow Dreaming up tomorrow Tomorrow. I have no fear, I have no shame, But everyone is on the game. They talk of dreams, they walk in sleep I'm half away but in too deep I've been dreaming of fame I've been dreaming of gold I've been dreaming of change Dreaming up tomorrow Dreaming up tomorrow Tomorrow. America is dreaming us. In a hostage's hands there'll be no fuss. A messy dream, a dream of youth, A dream of wealth, no room for truth. I can see all these preachers and they're standing on next to me. A hand in the hand and they're waving at me furiously And I don't know why No, I don't know why. I'm standing on the corner and this man is coming up to me With Bible at his hand and he is bashing at me furiously. He has a soapbox on his head and says that god is dead to me I don't know why No, I don't know why. I've been dreaming of fame I've been dreaming of gold I've been dreaming of change Dreaming up tomorrow Tomorrow. |

You may say I'm cynical, but I say man is flawed.
He has a vague memory of life before some fall. Behaving like a reptile, but talks of walking tall. If God is in his image, the almighty must be small. God only knows. Swaggart has been caught 'with his trousers round his knees' After damning me and you to hell for eternity. Sex and power and money is the prayer of these priests, they bribe their way past Heaven's Gates and steal a set of keys. God only knows. My guru has been sleeping with adepts and with sheep while I was fucking selibate, self-righteous in belief. Yesterday he was God, now he is a creep. We fell upon each other, starving for relief. God only knows. I damn you all to hell, I speak in the name of God. I know him intimately, I speak in the name of that white haired old man in the clouds, Always a man, Dispensing lightning justice from his fingertips. As self-righteous and bigoted as those who created him. A cruel desert god with absolutely no sense of humour, How do you feel old man? How do you feel? Being spoken for by these self-righteous fanatics. Is Heaven full, oh Lord, of these babbling preachers and god-fearing bigots. Well I know where I'd rather be, Away from this cacophony. God only knows. God only knows. God only knows |

Heart of gold. Heart of gold. Heart of gold.
One body in my mother's belly Chinese dolls, box in boxes. How do you sail the ship from the bottle? How do you sail the ship from the bottle? Heart of gold. Heart of gold. Heart of gold. Gold, gold mother. Gold, gold, gold mother. I can see the head now. Between her legs now. Purple headed alien. Water logged old man. In the blood silence. In the blood silence. Silence. Silence; Cry for me mother. Cry for me my mother. Crimean mother. Cry me another. My feet and hands won't work! My feet and hands won't work! In my baby's body My brand new baby's body. I'll suck my fingers red. I'll suck my fingers red. In my baby's body. My brand new baby's body. I can see the head now. Between her legs now. Purple headed alien. Water logged old man. In the blood silence. In the blood silence. Silence. Silence. Silence. Shut up. In the bright lights, and harsh sounds, there's a man In green ceremonial robes and a mask, dipping a straw through your nose. Mouthwash of meconium. Lungs full of meconium. Heart full of meconium. Meconium. Meconium. Chinese dolls. Box in boxes. Chinese dolls. Box in boxes. I'll go out the same way I came in Chinese dolls. Box in boxes. And everything you touch. And everything you love. And everything you touch Turns to gold. As precious as, As rich as, As dear as, As strong as, As hard as Gold. Mother Past the boundaries of all pain. You journey to the edge of death, in search of a child. Gold mother there's only one. Gold mother and she's mine. She's all mine. Shut up. Let's hear it. Shut up |

Break down the government walls.
Speak in tongues, power is money. I see our interests fall Well behind their curtain. Break down the government walls. Infiltrate our television. Break down the government walls. Time to be outspoken. I can hear the sound of falling masonry As they try to plug that leak. I am tempted by their cloak of secrecy To find out what their games are about. Ask a question and they'll talk of secret services, secrets from the people they should serve. When they can hide their crimes in a legal disguise Truth will not be seen nor heard. In Ireland they may shoot to kill without warning you Or lock you away for a while without trial. And if an honest cop gets too close to the truth of it They'll set him up in style. In style. In Chine, they murder Their youth Who are questioning How their lives are controlled. Do they have the means to rewrite history. Wipe out the genes of doubt. Bring down the government walls. Bring them down within my lifetime. Let's see the curtain drawn, see what they're concealing. Bring down the government walls. Secrecy suggests deception. Bring down the government walls. Crime to be outspoken. It's a crime to be outspoken |

I don't like the world I see, So I'll avert my gaze to the T.V, I'm too cool to get involved, Someone else can change the channel for me. [Man 2] Gonna suck the juices out of this world, Gonna treat her rough it's all she deserves, She's so cold to me. Gonna rape this world with my straight lines, Gonna straighten her out 'cause nature is just history. There's a hole in my heart, Your so cruel to me, There's a hole in my heart, from your industry There's a hole in my heart. [Man 1] Its no use to get involved, You'll never stop the world from turning. I just want to rest in peace, I can't stop the world from burning. [Man 2] Gonna test my bombs wherever I want, Gonna poon the whale, Gonna drain the swamp, It's money to me. Gonna fuck with genes I am what I am, Much more than a God, Much less than a man of Industry. There's a hole in my heart, Your so cruel to me, There's a hole in my heart, from the industry There's a hole in my heart |

Hang on, she said. I am ignoring all your late night calls I'd prefer to sleep, that feel so small I have this feeling I'm about to crumble and fall. Are you going to the discotheque Cigarettes, perfume, drink and sweat I'd prefer a good book and you in bed. Hang on, she said. Why are we fighting when we should be close to a wedding Which would be better than most. We should be in our hearts Not at our throats. Hang on, she said Now I can feel that you're mad with me Is it justified or imaginary Tell me one day How you would like me to be. Living with you is a dangerous flame You sweep me away, and then you drive me insane. Keep your distance. I'm looking for someone to blame. Hang on, she said. Be a good friend tonight. Understand, see it from my side. Be a good friend tonight, One day you will see me in better light. Hang on, she said |

Well they said you are as good as you look but that would be impossible.
For you look better than the face of God on a sunny day. You look good enough to eat but I've had a bellyful And now I have this bill I don't wanna pay. How was it for you. Do you really need that drink to disarm defences. Can you never face the flak when you're in control. Well I don't believe my luck I am defenceless. Do with me what you want but don't tell a soul. Don't tell my soul. How was it for you If you ain't out of your head can you ever enjoy yourself. But if you ain't ni your head then who's at home? I'm so possessed by sex I could destroy my health. We could be dancing over coals and we'd never know. We'd never know. How was it for you. Where did you get those clothes Are you sure they're still fashionable? The sell-by date on the label says says '68. Where did you steal those riffs and that bad attitude You are travelling back in time to an altered state. How was it for you. Was it as good as it was for me Well that's the best it's ever been And you're the best I've ever seen How was it for you How was it for you |

We were doing so well, We had broken the spell, And freedom seemed just within reach. We had managed the bend, Between lover and friend, Found a place we could possibly meet, Yes it's me, I can't help myself, I just run headlong to defeat, Yes it's me, I can't help myself, I defeat, I defeat, I defeat, I defeat I'm so hard on myself, Don't deserve any help, So I must let you go, let you go. So I pushed you away, While I hoped you would stay, But I don't let you know, let you know, Yes it's me, I can't help myself, I keep running around to this beat, Yes it's me, I can't help myself, I defeat, I defeat, I defeat, I defeat Yes it's me, I can't help myself, I keep running around to this beat, Yes it's me, I can't help myself, I defeat, I defeat, help me, I can't help myself, I defeat, I defeat, help me, I can't help myself, I defeat, I defeat, help me. |

An emotional charge like an electrical spark
But the fuses are two, you can't tell them apart When the bodies collide, the bodies emerge back into one The only urge all change, all change etc. Change your paths But you can't help the thought that when nothing stays still The tiger moves on when its taken its fill But you cling to the part like a shark to its prey When the part doesn't last there's pain, but no one to blame Who's to blame? Fail to achieve a basis for collaboration Fail to achieve a basis for collaboration But you cling to the part like a shark to its prey The preacher looked out on my doing today And he said, "Oh, this looks curly to me." |

I love her Lover Who are you thinkin of now Is she flesh real Or part of them memories |

I'm so alone tonight, my bed feels larger than when I was small, lost in memories, lost in all the sheets and old pillows, I'm so alone tonight, miss you more than I could let you know, miss the outline of your back, miss you breathing down my neck, oh, they're all out to get you, once again, they're all out to get you, once again.. Insecure, whatcha gonna do? feel so small they could step on you, called you up, answering machine when the human touch is what I need, what I need is you. I need you. looked in the mirror, I don't know who I am anymore the face is familiar but the eyes, the eyes give it all away.. here they come again, here they come again, here they come again.. they're all out to get you, once again they're all out to get you.. once again |

You're a weapon of devotion Keep the faithful until you are teamed Yo're a lover of attention Found a way to pawn your soul This position may be fetching But the world moves on and leaves you far behind I hear you I hear you Wispering such gorgeous stories I see you I see you Trying to break free You liar You liar You can live the dreams your spinning You liar Love to be decieved You're falling You're falling Falling from your God like distance You're fashion, just fashion Fashion doesn't keep You're sour So sour All this hope and trust is misplaced You're sour And now you are alone Walking on fire Feel the way the world is inclining Walking on fire Pay to decieve Walking on fire Now the world will keep it's distance Walking on fire you rather than me Walking on fire My son says Dear father, what did you do when the world turned over Keep spinning Keep spinning, send us off to sleep All your words are jsut dust and moonshine You liar Love to be decieved Walking on fire Found a house away from humans Walking on fire Pay to decieve Walking on fire Now the world will keep it's distance Walking on fire You rather than me |

[Music depresses me]
Help's on it's way, I'm lost in space No protection Please come and rescue me I've got no friends, an orphan Who had faith, who betrayed Took only a kiss to give me away Who had faith, who betrayed Took only a kiss To blow you away All in my head I'll play dead, if you want me to if you want me all in my head i'll play dead, if you want me to if you want me Who had faith, who betrayed Took only a kiss to give me away Who had faith, who betrayed Took only a kiss to blow you away All in my head I'll play dead, if you want me to if you want me all in my head i'll play dead, if you want me to if you want me |

from James - Pleased To Meet You / International Version (2001)
Scared to be alone Frightened of the dark Everything's too much For a boy out of touch with his feelings I must be to blame I must be at fault I believe I'm never good enough To shine a light that lingers I have witnessed starbursts in your coal black eyes I am what I try to deny I have seen the serpent coiling set to strike And love is the usual disguise Pleased to meet you Where you from And what's your name? Never came alive Never cut the cord Nothing is too much for a boy out of touch With his feelings Worshipping the moonshine Skinning up the grapevine I don't have a plan where I'm going I just follow my fingers I will be the burning man To grace these times I am what I try to deny I reflect the same eyes looking back at me And love is the only reply Pleased to meet you Where you from and what's your name We're more than enough Dead Ringers Pleased to meet you Where you from And what's your name ? What's your name ? |

I'm in a deep depression
Face of self-control Shown to the world of confident Pray your fears won't show Cry Break your first impressions Recreate your will Love's at the heart of everything Let love be your goal Cry My whole world Breaking down The pressure's on The pressures' on This whole way’s Falling down The pressure's on The pressure's on The pressure's on Cry Cry |

To be loving when the knives are out
Takes much courage and a mind without doubt I'm just some robot, wind up the clockwork jerk Trying to impress is the nature of my work And it's so hard to remain open If it's true, it can't be spoken Really hard Really hard Rhetoriticians think they're running this show Words as power is all they'll ever know I'm just some reflex, when struck, the knee will jerk Trying to impress is the nature of our work And it's so hard to remain open If you bend, you won't get broken Really hard Really hard Wake up from this dreaming state A long scream out, it's not too late I am dying to begin I am dying to begin again Really hard Really hard |

Ring the bells Wake the town Everyone is sleeping Shout at the crowd Wake them up This angers deeper than sleep. Got to keep awake to what is happening. I can't see a thing through my ambitions, I no longer feel like God is watching over me Got to tell the world we've all been dreaming This is not the end, a new beginning I no longer feel my God is watching over me. Break the code. Concentrate. Let the doors swing open See through all your walls All your floors Now you're in deeper than sleep Got to keep awake to what is happening. I can't see a thing through my ambitions, I no longer feel like God is watching over me Got to tell the world we've all been dreaming This is not the end, a new beginning I no longer feel my God is watching over me. When you let me fall Grew my own wings Now I'm as tall as the sky When you let me drown Grew gills and fins Now I'm as deep as the sea When you let me die My spirit's free There's nothing challenging me. |

You're as tight as a hunter's trap Hidden well, what are you concealing Poker face, carved in stone Amongst friends, but all alone Why do you hide Say something, say something, anything I've shown you everything Give me a sign Say something, say something, anything Your silence is deafening Pay me in kind Take a drug to set you free Strange fruit from a forbidden tree You've got to come down soon More than a drug is what I need Need a change of scenery Need a new life Say something, say something anything I've shown you everything Give me a sign Say something, say something, anything Your silence is deafening Pay me in kind Say something I'm open wide, open wondering Have you swallowed everything Pay me in kind |
