Stories came like the wind
Joining every bridge in the wind Ringing out footsteps Calling out stell-heels I give voice I give breath Count out evenings and stars How fast can these things move on Taking roots back to yourself And the reason for fear was moving on And on Some time Great times Troubled time Fire for the times Ringing out footsteps Calling out steel-heels Promised land Great times in commotion Here come every day It only lasts an hour Unhappy the land that has no heroes No! Unhappy the land that needs heroes And the reason for fear was moving on The speed of light was moving on Don't cry Tears are only wasted waters Some say God her only loves the proud Be damned on luck But not dishearted Nothing to prove And nothing to present I give voice I give breath Catching winds in my hand My hand Some times Great times Catching wind in my hand My hand Some times Great times Troubled times Fire for the times Ringing out footsteps Calling out steel-heels Promised land Great times in commotion Here comes every dat It only lasts an hour Unhappy the land that has no heroes No! Unhappy the land that needs heroes I'll call you out I'll scream you out And I don't care if you're afraid When city sounds invade the air Catch the wind in their hands Promised land Catch the wind in their hands Promised lands Promised lands Promised lands Great times in commotion |

Screams everything Follows in love Love brings the fall She is a country Feel for life Follows in love Love brings the fall First tear forms in the right eye This is the eye that's crying first First tear forms in the right eye This is the eye that's crying first Going somewhere Getting someplace Going somewhere Follows in love Love brings the fall Going somewhere Getting someplace Going somewhere Follows in love Love brings the fall Going somewhere Getting someplace Going somewhere Follows in love Cities heavy Moving breathing Follows in love Love brings the fall The need to draw blood somehow Follows in love Love brings the fall Breath is in Breath is out I'm not seeing anything I see too much When the other side of midnight calls Remind me I'm glad to be here First tear forms in the right eye This is the eye that's crying first In seventy cities In seventy cities Oh no oh no oh no no no Here it comes Here it comes Here it comes Oh no |

Voice leading to voices
Last song that the land sings In colorful breathless emotional sea Leaving us in this way Seeing out the angel From the shadow of a day That stands alone and crying young Singing fascination For the twist in anxious days That stand alone and crying young See out the angels For the rescue pools of life That stand alone and crying young Rescue by the first light Receiving us with these tears Feeling your gaze in the back of my eyes Leaving worlds this way In voice leading to voices Last song that the land sings In colorful breathless emotional sea Leaving us this way Seeing out the angels Singing fascination |

Savaged beauty life Falling here from grace Sister feeling call Cruising land to land No faith no creed no soul Half a world away Beauty sleeps in time Sound and fury play [Chorus] Ma son warm land semi-monde Ma son warm land semi-monde Cry because you're young Governments and gifts Hearts are in our mouths Thank you for the voice Thank you for the eyes Thank you for the good times Golden guns and cars Styles and motorcades In screaming beauty days [Chorus] Only winds that twist When white money calls Falling here from grace White-eye movement trust Parades are leaving town When boys of Venice call In all stations trust In all stations soul Sons and fascination [Chorus] |

In the middle of the road,
Is trying to find me. I'm standing in the middle of life with my pains behind me.But, I got a smile For everyone I meet. Long as you don't try dragging my bay, Or dropping a bomb on the street.Come on baby, Get in the road. Come on now, In the middle of the road, yeah.In the middle of the road, You see the darnest things. Like fat cats driving around in jeeps through the city, Wearing big diamond rings and silk suits. Past corrugated tin shacks holed up with kids and Man I don't mean a Hampstead nursery. But when you own a big chunk of the bloody third world, The babies just come with the scenery.Come on baby, Get in the road. Come on now, In the middle of the road, yeah.One. Two. Three. Four. Five. Six.In the middle of the road, Is my private cul de sac. I can't get from the cab to the curb, Without some little jerk on my back, Don't harass me kid, Can't you tell I'm going home, I'm tired as hell, I'm not the cat I used to be, I've got a kid, I'm thirty-three baby. Get in the road. Come on now, In the middle of the road |

Show me the meaning of the word
Show me the meaning of the word 'Cause I've heard so much about it They say, "Hey, you can't live without it" Welcome to the human race With its wars, disease and brutality You with your innocence and grace Restore some pride and dignity To a world in decline Welcome to a special place In a heart of stone that's cold and gray You with your angel face Keep the despair at bay Send it away, and Show me the meaning of the word Show me the meaning of the word 'Cause I've heard so much about it I don't want to live without it I don't want to live without it Oh, I want love I want love I want love Welcome here from outer space The Milky Way is still in your eyes You found yourself a hopeless case One that's seeking perfection on earth That's some kind of rebirth, so Show me the meaning of the word Show me the meaning of the word 'Cause I've heard so much about it Don't make me live without it Oh, love I want love I want Love I want love |

It's a thin line between love and hate
It's a thin line between love and hate It's five o'clock in the morning And you're just getting in You knock on the front door And a voice sweet and low says Who is it? She opens up the door and lets you in Never once asks where have you been She says are you hungry? Did you eat yet? Let me hang up your coat Pass me your hat All the time she's smiling Never once raises her voice It's five o'clock in the morning You don't give it a second thought It's a thin line between love and hate [2x] The sweetest woman in the world Could be the meanest woman in the world If you make her that way You keep hurting her She'll keep being quiet She might be holding something inside That'll really, really hurt you one day I see her in the hospital Bandaged from foot to head In a state of shock Just that much from being dead You couldn't believe the girl Would do something like this, ha You didn't think the girl had the nerve But here you are I guess action speaks louder than words It's a thin line between love and hate [2x] |

I keep asking myself, wondering how I keep closing my eyes but I can't block you out Wanna fly to a place where it's just you and me Nobody else so we can be free All the things she said All the things she said Running through my head All the things she said All the things she said Running through my head This is not enough This is not enough All the things she said All the things she said And I'm all mixed up, feeling cornered and rushed They say it's my fault but I want her so much Wanna fly her away where the sun and rain Come in over my face, wash away all the shame When they stop and stare - don't worry me ‘Cause I'm feeling for her what she's feeling for me I can try to pretend, I can try to forget But it's driving me mad, going out of my head Mother looking at me Tell me what do you see? Yes, I've lost my mind Daddy looking at me Will I ever be free? Have I crossed the line? |

When my love said to me
Meet me down by the gallow tree For it's sad news I bring About this old town and all that it's offering Some say troubles abound Some day soon they're gonna pull the old town down One day we'll return here, When the Belfast Child sings again Brothers sisters where are you now As I look for you right through the crowd All my life here I've spent With my faith in God the Church and the Government But there's sadness abound Some day soon they're gonna pull the old town down One day we'll return here, When the Belfast Child sings again When the Belfast Child sings again Some come back Billy, won't you come on home Come back Mary, you've been away so long The streets are empty, and your mother's gone The girls are crying, it's been oh so long And your father's calling, come on home Won't you come on home, won't you come on home ome back people, you've been gone a while And the war is raging, in the Emerald Isle That's flesh and blood man, that's flesh and blood All the girls are crying but all's not lost The streets are empty, the streets are cold Won't you come on home, won't you come on home The streets are empty Life goes on One day we'll return here When the Belfast Child sings again When the Belfast Child sings again |

Cities, buildings falling down
Satellites come crashing down I see them falling out the skies like eagles All mirrored glass and shattered egos But in a corner of the world we'd meet to laugh and drink and plan our sequels 'Cause in the alleyways and bars downtown They're singing up from here to there can we go This city comes alive at night, see these city walls are heaving And if these old city walls should crash, amid the rubble you'd find us breathing Come say what you see in me 'Cause boy, I believe in you Come say what you're seeing All gone just ghost dancing, going all the way through You talk about the Lebanon You tell me 'bout the Dawn in Eden You talk about South Africa I tell you about the Irish children You say one more Polish Knight could come and blow away the doors to Freedom And if Mother Ethiopia could blow away the tears that we see run O blow them away, Blow, blow away We Will blow them away O blow, blow away Blow, blow away Blow, blow away Come say what you see in me 'Cause boy, I believe in you Come say what you're seeing They're all gone just ghost dancing, going all the way through You know I believe in you Oh yes I believe, you know I believe in you You say you believe I believe, I believe, going all the way through, yeah Come take me back home, come on and take me away Ghost Dancing The car pulled up, the girl she jumped in The boy he wore a medal that was shining from his skin With the windows pulled up, their radio tuned in She's hitting from the stars, he's hitting for the moon She said, one last kiss while you look across the Land Move it into overdrive and take me by my hand When the car broke, the rebels saw smoke and they all went to heaven in a stupid fantasy, go Take me away |

Secrets of lovers
Whisper tonight Broken down angel Got lost in the cold daylight The city is screaming And I look for your eyes Someone to lean on through the night Your music talks to me and hits me tonight One candle burning, I hear your voice say So let there be love Let there be love Love Let there be love It heals and it hurts She leads you to heaven's door And leaves you for dirt Someone to lean on, that's your own Some magic conquers me and lives in my soul, She comes like an ocean and I hear you sing Love will conquer anything So let it be love Let it be love Love Let it be love The wall's down They're coming down I can't slow I know it now So stay now Hold on And I'm praying So let it be love Let it be love Love Let it be love I know what I want I know what I feel I know what I want So let there be love So let there be love Let there be love |

Is this the age of the thunder and rage
Can you feel the ground move 'round your feet If you take one step closer, it'll lead to another The crossroad above is where we meet I shout out for shelter, I need you for something The whole world is out, they're all on the street Control yourself, love is all you need Control yourself, in your eyes Sanctify yourself, sanctify Be apart of me, sanctify Sanctify yourself, sanctify Sanctify yourself, set yourself free In pictures of living, in bloodshot a vision Sweet miracles and strange circumstances I see the sun up, the showdown, the cool winds that blow down On the big beat that life-long romance is You've got a gun in your hand, you're making self plans Stay with me all through the night Control yourself, love is all you need Control yourself, open up your heart Sanctify yourself, sanctify Be apart of me, sanctify Sanctify yourself, sanctify Sanctify yourself, set yourself free You can't stop the world for a boy or a girl Sweet victims of poor circumstances But you can pour back the love, sweeping down from above Giving hope and making more chances Well, I hope and I pray that maybe someday You'll come back down here and show me the way Control yourself, love is all you need Control yourself, open up your heart Open up your heart Sanctify yourself, sanctify Sanctify yourself, sanctify Sanctify yourself, set yourself free |

And somehow you just can't provide the proof Ever felt you're cast aside And sheltered from the universal truth Ever find when trouble calls you're first in line And stick your finger in Everybody's talking 'bout 7 deadly sins Number one says drop the gun There's nothing out there that's worth dying for And number two that's me and you I'm green inside and jealous to the core Number three fidelity I've lost the path And I'd better start again This thing's got a strange mystique The 7 deadly sins This thing's got the whole world beat 7 deadly sins I can hear them calling out I can hear them screaming out Blood is sweet like a deep red river And where it goes I don't know You make me sweat And you make me shiver Where it goes I don't know If you've got sticky fingers You got dreams that linger running through your brain Well vanity's the flying "V" Desire is the one who gets the blame If you're looking for a goldmine When all around you seems be tin I'm not superstitious 'bout the 7 deadly sins Everybody's calling out 7 deadly sins Everybody's dreamin' 'bout 7 deadly sins |

Took me by the hand Said I've got things to offer you Help you understand If the bombs don't get you I'll roll with you tonight All these things inside your head You've got to get it right And the band played on Spirits of the city Were calling out my name When jealous guys break down and cry They got themselves to blame If the bombs don't get you Take courage in the night All those dreams inside your head You've got to get it right Still the band played on And the band played on The room was getting hotter And someone hit the light There was power in the darkness There was violence in the night And the golden sons and daughters They were coming up for air You were standing with your back to me And a halo round your hair And the questions there were many Like how can you survive When it's the moment You've been waiting for This is the moment of your life So every dreamer pass me by With a fix me Jesus stare in his eyes I was born to live I was born to die With the queen of soul And the king of light All the power in the land Pull me through to the shadowland I was driven by some hidden hand It's the greatest gift of all And the band played on Shake the ghost within you Get up, meet up, the rising sun Cos the old days they're the dying days And the new day's just begun At the end of every party Hear the singer sing his song May his heart stay young forever And the dream still lingers on I want to die I want to live again I want to keep on keeping on They say a coward dies a thousand times But the brave they die just once So walk to me, talk to me Hold me now spectre of love There's a coolness under fire And a universal love And the band played on Played on, played on |

I can feel it in the darkness
Getting closer in the night Like a sacred song You linger on You give me the wings of flight And I love your sense of power Every hour every need When the red light shows Your arms enclose Like the pillars of destiny With one step forward I know I can leave this behind Never look backward I want to move through space, through time I want to get to it Seek and you'll find Check the world - do it it's my life There's a star shines over you and I It's my life I'm just keeping my soul alive There's talk of revolution There's no solution to our plight A red guitar can get you But you still know how to fight They say all roads come together Every shoulder to the wheel Solid gold future unfolds When you give me the hands that heal I'm looking out, and I call your name I go running in a circle But I can't get back again And I'm calling I need you here My whole life took a tumble And I'm so filled up with fear My life feels like a runaway train I'm leading through a tunnel and I can't get back again It's my life Keeping my soul alive |

There's something you should know I just found my new direction And I hope you like the key Like the air that led me to it She's like the wind that sucked me through it She's a river and she's turning there in front of me Stand back - get back She'll paint your blue skies black She gives bullet proof protection Got a resurrection feel When I'm scared, and 'bout to lose She gives me travelling shoes She's a river and she's turning in front of me And I go blind Wasting my time While the rivers in front of me That's where I'm goin' to be Shine on, get on Twilight from dusk to dawn She's the spirit of creation She's the last chance guarantee Got a myriad of poses Sweet miracles and roses She's a river and she's turning in front of me 'Cause when I find My state of mind The river's in front of me They say that every heaven's got a thousand rooms So take me on that freedom ride My heart is like a hunter's in the silent moon My nerves just feel electrified Meet me on the staircase Outside a darkened room Light me like a naked flame The voice of Mother Nature states All things must pass And nothing can remain They say that every heaven's got a thousand rooms So take me on that freedom ride You raise me like a building to the very top Rush me to the end of time You fill me full of danger You give me future shock Then you leave me wasted dying And I go blind Wasting my time The river's in front of me |

Full of doubt, took the easy way out
Always said they couldn't find their place Among some real dark stuff, they got to thinking enough Remember Halcyon Days We'll spend our time with a bottle of wine And a love that knows no human state Never got to wake up early Never got to feel so poorly As the great unloved go dancing all the way Glitterball - Radiate round the hall Lifts me up - Then leaves me to fall Glitterball - Radiate round the hall As the great unloved go dancing all the way One step, Two step, Three step, Four Drag me to the middle, then you pulled me to the floor Glitterball - Radiate round the hall As the great unloved go dancing all the way And I've been captured by imagination I feel the faint vibration in the air Been taken hostage by the one creation Anticipate the night that's in your hair Glitterball - Radiate round the hall Lifts me up - Then leaves me to fall Glitterball - Radiate round the hall As the great unloved go dancing all the way Glitterball - Radiate round the hall Lifts me up - Then leaves me to fall Glitterball - Radiate round the hall As the great unloved go dancing all the way One step, Two step, Three step, Four Drag me to the middle, then you pulled me to the floor Glitterball - Radiate round the hall As the great unloved go dancing all the way One final day As the great unloved go dancing all the way Don't make me wait As the great unloved go dancing all the way Don't make me wait As the great unloved go dancing all the way |

Open inside something about this pain
There's something about this sweet refrain Reminds me that you're not there And if I could care there's something about this curse Like a needle inside a silken purse Reminds me of all that you'd bring If I had wings I'm still standing Blue mountain high Only the fables get to fly Without these words there's no reason why It reminds me of all that you bring If I had wings Would like to teach myself If I had wings Would learn to stir myself If I had wings Strapped inside won't be denied Nightmare brings All that you said And if I could fly Long time saviour That's the sinner's crime Well without such trust I know that I can never find Never find - Never find - Never find If I had wings If I had wings I'm still standing Never find - Never find - Never find Open inside something about this pain There's something about this sweet refrain Reminds me that you're not there And if I could care there's something about this curse Like a needle inside a silken purse Reminds me of all that you'd bring If I had wings If I had wings If I had wings If I had wings |

I want to know where you live
I want to know who you are I want to see what you see I want to go where you are Want to touch what you touch Want to be where you are I want to know what city this is Seems like I'm moving so far Riot town right noise A lightning streak Fate rides up and moves us on Mother don't weep I want to see what you see I want to touch - let me play I want to try every poison in sight I want to lie where you lay Let me see let me see I want to know what you know I want to learn what's imprisoning me Iwant to know let it go Riot time right noise Violent times speak Bottled up - like a fake damnation Lightning speed Crackdown backdoors Meltdown shoes Bare back riders - a rank outsider An automatic cruise I want to touch what you touch I long to be where you are I'll always know - you'll let me know all this gets too far Let me touch. Let me touch Let me feel what you feel I want to know how certain this is I want to know this is real Riot town, right noise Lightning streak Fate rides up and moves us on Mother don't weep Crackdown back door Violent times speak Fate rides up and moves us on Lightning streak |

And from the other side
A sheer white knuckle ride So young yet feel so stung by the game I know what's left in a name With all those national strains The lion hits the stage Purple hearts revolving round with purple rage And we all want to know where the weather goes And what's in store tomorrow No we don't need a replacement The more I see the more I learn All that time in the basement I can't wait nor hang around Language that shocks of the new With the promise there's nothing to hide When vultures rise out of the blue And the circle of fireflies tonight And all that heavenly light I can't understand The coup d'etat that walks inside every man They all wanna know 'bout the fasion show Where the Queen will go tomorrow Tomorrow Where the Queen will go tomorrow Where the Queen will go tomorrow No we don't need a replacement The more I see the more I learn All that time in the basement I can't wait nor hang around Feel real power in the darkness The more I see the more I learn Feel it more than I confess I can't wait nor hang around I'll be outside I'll be outside Song for the tribes Song for the tribes The more I see the more I learn No we don't need a replacement The more I see the more I learn Song for the tribes Song for the tribes |

Rhada come to it
Brother slide through it Sister rise - don't you care? Come on taste the mountain air Innocence comes to chance The mystery and spirit of romance Butterflies make you sigh And Kali-Yuga's miles away Procession gets in line With words of wedding day rhyme It'll make you cry Kali-Yuga's miles away And the young girl's eyes are miles away And the dust still lies miles away Rhada come to it Brother slide through it Sister rise - don't you care? Come on taste the mountain air Innocence comes to chance Mistery, spirit of romance It'll make you cry Kali-Yuga's miles away And the dust will rise miles away The young girls sigh miles away And the dust will rise miles away Don't let me down Don't let me down Blossoms cry to it Chariots take you there Climbing through mists like marble white stairs Milliseconds - take a glance Catch the mystery dance Never want to lose this chance Kali-Yuga's miles away And the dust still rise And the worlds will rise Superman v supersoul Always in control Superman v supersoul In control |

Lone child in the wild
A bird that's lost at sea The words that whisper in the silent film Say 'tomorrows gone for me' All night lying with your head in my hands And I search for reasons why But if I can't get to it - I can't get through it All that's gone now - all that's... The tears of a guy Is all I ever see The tears of a guy So many rivers run to me Wake up dreaming with the sun in my eyes Hear me screaming, don't ask why Some strange music from some sweet soul song Says I can't feel it - I can't try Time goes - and the fountain still flows I'll be watching through fortunate eyes But I can't get cured - I must endure All that's gone now - all that's... The tears of a guy Is all I ever see The tears of a guy So many rivers run to me Drift by the walls - this way Babylon - in your eyes Drift by the walls - this way Babylon - in your eyes So many rivers run through me (And we will walk) Oh little angel It's all I ever see (And we will rise) So many rivers run to me (And we will walk) Oh my little angels In your eyes So many rivers run through me In your eyes |

See the white clouds roll in
Spirits lying next to me Catch the wildflower falling It's the wound that never bleeds Hear the Sirens calling Spinning out their show Hold - The moment close to me Take it down too slow Be mine, be mine, War Babies Be mine, be mine, War Babies Can you still keep going? Shattered pieces left inside To face the final, knowing That there's somethings you can't hide Be mine, be mine, War Babies Be mine, be mine, War Babies So will the force let go? Or will the phantoms stay? Let the foreteller be your sight - It feels like something's happening today Some shame's like no other And nothing feels the same Nothing feels the same War Babies Be mine, be mine, War Babies Nothing feels the same War Babies War Babies Nothing feels the same Be mine Be mine War Babies |

They like to stay Ooh come on Come on and stay up so late You gonna talk of all the things you just wanna hate You wanna come on Come on And make me so mad Inside your heart I know it feels so bad You You come on so sharp Yet be so nice Tell me that you're so hot But you're as cold as ice There is no cure You're so blind can't you see? There is no cure Can't buy immunity There is no cure So keep your evil from me There is no cure Come on and do it Just what to do it They're going to do it Just want to do it There is no cure... |

Black lines call out from his face
Oh his heart beats staccato pace She says he's not killing time I just don't want him for no friend of mine Meanwhile Susan goes out all alone So many reasons but they're not all her own Bend till you break Scream if you must Someone's in her room Someone she don't trust Can you see me I'm in the lukewarm rain Try so very hard You know I just can't explain Think of a colour Tell me what you see That colour's red You can take it from me Take it from me Take it from me I've seen the streetlights Shine on the underground I've heard the dead fight When there's no other sound I've seen the streetlights Shine on the undreground I've heard the dead fight When there's no other sound Streetlight Streetlight Streetlight Streetlight Sweetlight |

I called you last night
But I got no reply There's something not right By the look in your eye Makes me laugh To walk the path So many pass this way It's so unreal I can't help but feel I gotta wake you from this daze Listen to a world of your own You've got to leave me alone Sweet mother calling up now Don't want to speak to no fool She say I got to look out For I've got to find the jewels I have some precious momements Into the night I stare To dream of something special Ooh Another sad affair When all your trust Turns to dust And you're lost for words to say You've got so much more to see before You turn to walk away Listen to a world of your own You've got to leave me alone. Ooh another sad affair Another sad affair Ooh another sad affair Another sad affair It makes me laugh to walk this path So many pass this way It's so unreal I can't help but feel I gotta wake you from this daze Listen... |
