Cry cry cry
Cry like a baby "C" Moon "C" Moon So where do you go, up hi under low The devil I know said, something is missing Outside it's hot, the first of July And a look in your eye said, something is missing Midnight, she cried like a baby "C" Moon "C" Moon "C" Moon Cry like a baby Can this be something we can't understand Could it be the girl can't understand Where will we go, up hi under low When the devil I know say, something is missing Sweet angels sing, about the fast place of things But our children sing, love will conquer anything Midnight she cried like a baby "C" Moon "C" Moon "C" Moon Cry like a baby Could it be we can't understand Can it be we can... Cry, cry, cry, cry like a baby Midnight cry like a whisper Scream like a baby Could this be something we can't understand Cry like a baby |

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 |

Ever felt that you've been lied
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 |

I thought I'd write today Pieces of my life That time can't fade away Land lies dry - Africa And the clouds roll by - Africa I held you every night I believed in all you'd say Now the dust blows in my eyes But those dreams won't fade away The sky burns red - Africa Don't you cry - Africa Africa When you cry it rains - Africa Still the children smile - Africa When you cry it rains - Africa When the wild dogs howl - Africa Still the clouds roll by - Africa |

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?

그녀가 말했던 모든 것들이 All the things she said 그녀가 말했던 모든 것들이 Running through my head 머리를 스친다. All the things she said 그녀가 말했던 모든 것들이 All the things she said 그녀가 말했던 모든 것들이 Running through my head 머리를 스친다. This is not enough 이걸론 부족해. I'm in serious s--t, I feel totally lost 난 굉장히 심각해. 완전히 길을 잃은거 같아. If I'm asking for help it's only because 단지 내가 도움을 요청하고 있기 때문에 Being with you has opened my eyes 너와 함께 있으면서 나는 눈을 떴어 Could I ever believe such a perfect surprise? 내가 그런 기적을 믿을 수 있을까? I keep asking myself, 나 자신에게 계속해서 묻고 있어, wondering how I keep closing my eyes 내가 얼마나 눈을 감고 있을 수 있을지. but I can't block you out 하지만 너를 떨쳐낼 수 없어. Wanna fly to a place where it's just you and me 너와 나만이 있는 곳으로 날아가고 싶어 Nobody else so we can be free 다른 누구도 없는,우리가 자유로울 수 있는 곳으로. All the things she said 그녀가 말했던 모든 것들이 All the things she said 그녀가 말했던 모든 것들이 Running through my head 머리를 스친다. All the things she said 그녀가 말했던 모든 것들이 All the things she said 그녀가 말했던 모든 것들이 Running through my head 머리를 스친다. This is not enough 이걸론 부족해. This is not enough 이걸론 부족해. All the things she said 그녀가 말했던 모든 것들이 All the things she said 그녀가 말했던 모든 것들이 And I'm all mixed up, feeling cornered and rushed 나는 모두 뒤섞어지고,궁지에 몰린채 무서운 기세로 달려드는걸 느껴. They say it's my fault but I want her so much 나는 그녀를 너무나 원하지만 그들은 그걸 내 잘못이라고 말해. Wanna fly her away where the sun and rain 그녀를 날려 보내고 싶어 Come in over my face, wash away all the shame 햇빛과 비가 얼굴에 쏟아져, 모든 수치심을 씻어버리는 곳으로 When they stop and stare - don't worry me 그들이 멈춰서 뚫어져라 응시할때 - 나를 불안하게 하지말아줘 ꡐCause I'm feeling for her what she's feeling for me 그녀가 나를 불쌍하게 여기고 내가 그녀를 가엾게 느끼도록 만들잖아. I can try to pretend, I can try to forget 가장하려고 할 수도 있고 잊으려 할 수도 있어. But it's driving me mad, going out of my head 하지만 그러면 난 미쳐버리고 말꺼야. Mother looking at me 나를 보고 있는 엄마.. Tell me what do you see? 내가 어떤 거 같아? Yes, I've lost my mind 그래요. 난 완전히 빠졌어요. Daddy looking at me 나를 보고 있는 아빠.. Will I ever be free? 내가 언젠가 자유로워질 수 있을까요..? Have I crossed the line? 내가 선을 넘은건가요..? |

Sweetest angel came down
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 |

It's all so mediocre anyway. Take me down unto your road where I could filter through the code. There is no other way that's better paid. You do it so well, Blood Type O, it's all so long ago. You do it so well, You're Blood Type O, it's all imaginary. But you do it so well. You build it up and you burn it down. You take the smile and make it frown. I don't know why you ever wont look back. If it was ever up to me, I'd steal the crown and you would see. I'd take the fight that's here in front of you. You do it so well, Blood Type O, it's all so long ago. You do it so well. Blood Type O, it's all imaginary. But you do it so well. You're Blood Type O. You do it so well. It's all so long ago. It's all imaginary. Blood Type O. |

Say it's wise They say that It´s the only time To reach for what remains To look o'er what's the same Dolphins swim around And dolphins drag me down Drag me down Say that, it's the truth There's an ocean Right in front of you And dolphins, hit the sound And when dolphins circle around And if it seems so Like the world juts in Those dolphins drag me down Drag me down Say that, say it´s wise Say that, that it's the only vice Yet you say so what remains ? And look so uncertain And dolphins look around And those dolphins drag me down Drag me down And so the world juts in Those dolphins drag me down Drag me down |

Didn't have the money round to buy a Morry Thou
Been around and seen a lot to shake me anyhow Begged and borrowed sometimes, I admit I even stole The worse crime that I ever did was playing rock 'n roll. But the money's no good Just get a grip on yourself But the money's no good Just get a grip on yourself Suffering convictions on a two-way stretch inside The air in here is pretty thin, I think I'll go outside Committed for insanity and crimes against the soul The worst crime that I ever did was play some rock 'n roll. But the money's no good Just get a grip on yourself But the money's no good Just get a grip on yourself And you should know Now I find from week to week the sentence sticking fast Turn the corner, rub my eyes and hope the world will last Stranger from another planet welcome to our hole Just strap on your guitar and we'll play some rock 'n roll But the money's no good Just get a grip on yourself But the money's no good Just get a grip on yourself And you should know |

I jumped up like Apollo
Crash landed on my feet The sun shot like a laser through my brain A little death had woken up And put a curse on me But I knew that that I'd be coming back again Inspiration, across the nation There's a poverty of expectation All I got to do was move ahead It's a blue sky It's a while cloud It's a flame It's a blue sky White cloud Burning flame I shot back to the mirror There was nothing left to see But a phantom with his heartbeat deep inside I could feel the dust of ages They were blowing back at me But I knew that I was born to get it right Everybody take the great leap forward Everybody knows the mysteries at hand If you've been praying all those sweet days for this Don't you know there is a whole different plan Sometimes I hear the madman calling He talks about some dark eternal place I've been waiting all my lifetime for this moment And now I've got to find some other ways One touch ignites this eagle One kiss for heavens view I need the flame so I can feel alive You can tell my little brother No requiem for me I knew that I was born to make this flight Inspiration across the nation There's a poverty of expectation All I got to do was move ahead |

God gave me travelling shoes
God gave me the wanderer's eye God gave a few gold coins to help me to the other side Looked around and said - be careful how the small things grow God gives me travelling shoes And I knew that it was time to go. He then sent in the ship at night To take me to the hidden port Found me the key at last To open up the prison door Brought down blackbirds wings Gifted me with beggars eyes Sent in the jackals To tell me I should say bye, bye, bye I'm home Home Home, Home, Home And I'm home Home Home, Home, Home But I'm miles and miles and miles and miles and miles away Oh where can I hide ? God gave me one last chance Gave me one last reprieve He then gave me hunger Gave me the air to breath Gave one suit case Gave one last goodbye Gave me travelling shoes And without them I would surely die, die ,die Home Home Home, Home, Home Home Home Home, Home, Home Miles and miles and miles and miles and miles away Miles and miles and miles and miles and miles away Oh where do I go ? Oh where can I hide ? Home Home Home, Home, Home And I'm home Home Home, Home, Home And I'm miles away Miles away Im running far away |

Shooting from the hip
About our faith and love I see it in your faces thin as shadow See me as I figure in your late night plan See me as I'm cocooned up in Badland The side effects of cruising at the speed of life The side effects of living in temptation When only one star is waiting up on all of us You'll see me as I'm cocooned up in Badlands And how do I feel living in the eighties And do I get to see the light of day Kyoto in the snow but Heaven's far away Sending their love - passion parade Hunter and the Hunted With me first times can never lie They were young - they were brave - they were the honest set The greatest show on earth is here tonight love See me as a figure in the late night plan See me as I'm cocooned up in Badlands The side effects of cruising at the speed of life The side effects of living in temptation When only one star is waiting up on all of us You'll see me as I'm cocooned up in Badlands And how do I feel living in the eighties And do I get to see the light of day Kyoto in the snow Heaven's far away Sending their love Passion parade Hunter and the Hunted With me first times can never lie Only with you Life moves so fast When your hear me screaming I'll be seeing through the eyes of love Tell me can you hear me Tell me can you see me |

I can feel the whole world spinning around
I'm losing ground I feel it every day And I can feel you coming inside out I'm losing touch with all reality I remember the look in your eyes The way that they pulled me inside All I've got now in my defence is my innocence I've been hypnotised I can hear the church bells ringing out Reminds me of some bright and sunshine day When all the pretty horses you would ride Would come right back to feel your energy I still remember the look in your eyes The way that they filled me inside All I've got now in my defence Is my innocence I've been hypnotised You know it won't be easy It's never easy I've been hypnotised It won't be easy If you've got a heart that burns inside Let me get inside let me tangle with the flames If you've got a light that burns inside The heat will rise and melt down once again I'm waiting for a sign, help me realign Maybe it's a sin I know but it's not a crime All I know, I've been hypnotised Maybe there's a way I can find a way Final hour Judgement day All I know, I've been hypnotised And then I realise |

Footsteps, I can hear footsteps in the hall
I hear footsteps, seems like I've been through this before Some time has come now, some time has passed But things still look the same Is heaven all above, and paradise below And the questions still remain Ooh, can we see you? Ooh, are we near you? How could you disappear out of here? I wish for something, I wish you were here Footsteps, I can hear footsteps in the hall I hear footsteps, it seems like I've been through this before Well we loved you then, I guess we always will We love you still from here Birds of a feather always stay together And never separate, no fear Ooh, can we see you? Ooh, are we near you? How could you disappear out of here? I wish for something, I wish for something I wish you were here, I wish you were here I wish you well Footsteps, I can hear footsteps in the hall I hear footsteps, seems like I've been through this before If all the world was turning blue and gold Like through your eyes so clear The time has come to celebrate our past And crystalize this sphere Ooh, can we see you? Ooh, are we near you? How can you disappear out of here? I wish for something Ooh, can we see you? Ooh, are we near you? How can you disappear out of here? I wish for something I wish you were here, I wish you were here I wish you well There will come a day Oh some day our day will come Our day will come, our day will come |

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 |
