Spirit of girl I know's in front of me
I brought her home its where she'd want to be Picture of some strange tattooed bird on her thigh Shine on walk on take a walk with me Something going I can tell The way you know its meant to be There's something taking all your life You're drifting far away from me Spirit of the one I love walk in the room It gets so hard when it's all too soon Lover's lonely planet blue smoke in your eyes Shine on get home when are you gonna rise Shook my life Mercury You don't live here any more Shine on Mercury Walking the the sunlight to the old courtyard Where the weather's warm and the air tastes sweet In a world where words can say what's in her eyes, Shw will epitomise, so let her rest in peace. Something's going I can tell The way you know it's meant to be Something taking all your life And you're drifting far away from me Something I can tell you Mercury Something I can tell you Really want to tell you I'd really love to tell you |

In time only time speak for time in time
Time calls time cries, sweet friend of mine Time could be a place Spirit and a face Take drops through time While way below the whirlwinds will blow A pretty nation sleeps in time The beauty of it is We're waking up to shake the hand of time In time only time we'll speak for time On a quiet night of a white hot day Whisper the things that'll come our way On a quiet night of a white hot day Hold back the years hold back the years Time calls time cries, sounds like a friend of mine Time will run to meet the slick and shiny beast That creeps to me through time While way below the whirlwinds will blow A pretty nation sleeps in time The beauty of it is We're waking up to shake the hand of time In time only time in time only time in time On a quiet night of a white hot day Whisper the things that'll come our way On a quiet night of a white hot day Hold back the tears hold back the tears In time only time speak for time Quiet night of a white hot day Whisper the things that'll come our way On a quiet night of a white hot day Hold back the tears hold back the tears In time only time Quiet night of a white hot day Whisper the things that'll come our way On a quiet, on a quiet night of a white hot day Roll back the years roll back the years In time only time we'll speak for time On a quiet night Hold back the tears to another day Quiet night of a white hot day Hold back the tears hold back the tears In time only time speak for time Quiet night of a white hot day Whisper the things that'll come our way On a quiet, on a quiet night of a white hot day We'll hold back the tears In time only time speak for time Quiet night of a white hot day Hold back the tears to another day On a quiet night of a white hot day Whisper the things ... |

Shots ring out in Paris, the bells ring out in Rome
Your photo's in the paper, buy you're getting old Footsteps in the carpark he's the governor of thenight The omens say crime don't pay but each dog has its price When two worlds collide The tears well inside When two worlds collide A boy is found in Naples, his body's in a ditch His young life counts for nothing when somebody's getting rich There's flowers on the table, he sips water she drinks wine And I don't think that mercy is the language of our time When two worlds collide The teardrops inside When two worlds collide You break me up inside Backstreet of Chicago a black man plays the gold There's a man on every corner says he'd like to buy your soul Bhuddists in the temple, bullets in the night Steeping out of their world, into your world, into mine In the jet black night The tears well inside When two worlds collide You break me up inside Two worlds collide |

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 |

Ooh great wall of love, build me a great wall of love
When the blind man sings about the peaceful things You shout that it's not good enough Ah we wait till daylight hours Waiting for a sign from you Golden temples concrete towers Building mansions on the hillside next to you In the city souls awaken bodies shaking Oh pull me up let me see the view And to the hungry in the gutter We've deprived them bread and butter Always not enough No not enough Great wall of love, build me a great wall of love When the blind man sings about the peaceful things You shout that it's still not enough. Ah well it's not the sound of ghosts I hear It's the devil with his chainsaw And I'll be running through the ghettos Through the townships of Soweto Always not enough No not enough Brothers missing, babies kissing And the thing that got to you Burning never turning next to you Ooh great wall of love Build me a great wall of love When the blind man sings about the peaceful things You shout that it's still not enough So listen to me darling They've got worries they've got troubles on their mind And when you hear them reaching out They're reaching out for something they can't find Oh I believe one great day the rain will come And wash this mess away Oh I believe one great day the rain will come They've got silver and diamonds They've got paradise around them They've got blue skies so clear They've got their prisoner in a wagon While the children chase the dragon And the free bird files so clear It files away Fly fly fly away Fly away Oh you fly away And may your sweet lips sing to me Let the bells ring wherever freedom be One babe is born and another one dies There's people making love tonight People making love tonight Ah people making love tonight People making love People making love tonight People making love I can hear them reaching out I can hear them reaching out I can hear them reaching out I can hear them reaching out |

Although every building's standing tall,
I look to you as something that much greater. I searched through all religion, in the hope that something would entice. I dreamed of crossing bridges, mountain ridges, From the Pole to the Equator, But when I saw you skating by a" I was underneath the ice. I woke up staring at the sun, I searched for you in every hidden angle. All through my imagination, every face and place, every memory inside, High above the clouds they say there are galaxies and other destinations... And then I saw you skating by - but I was underneath the ice. Today I dreamed another dream, predestined to come and save me... later, Today I dreamed another dream that you would come to take me home, |

The lights of the motel shine on to me
This is the land of the brave, sad and the lonely The last ride's Coming to me I can feel it A new life Screaming out and I can't miss it Travelling man Travelling man You get away if you can My body's shaking, my body's tired Hookers to the left of me, killers on the inside The last train Left this station long ago The headlights Shine like diamonds in the snow Like a travelling man I'm a travelling man Run away if you can Cruel world keeps turning I'm dead on my feet From the blue icy mountains to white city heat Factory fire burns like a phoenix tonight Spread your wings come on darling And your eyes Search for me but I can't see them And your sweet mouth It speaks to me but I can't hear it And your - your sweet smile Two thousand miles for your warm kisses And your sweet child I got one last chance and I can't miss it No no no no Travelling man Like a travelling man Well I'm a travelling man |

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 |

Go tell it on the mountain
Like it burst forth like a fountain Try to shake the deep foundations of this land High up on lover's land They got hotel rooms so grand And no one here knows what goes behind closed doors Take a step back to the middle of the track Don't you know it's rumoured all around Says you know it's come to town Come on and take a step back to the middle of the track 'Cause the rumours are around said you're coming back to town And with every little lie You come and never blink an eye You know you've got yourself all tied up When you're around I've got the modern world behind me Like a needle in a haystack, find me They build you up and then they're going to burn you down So take a step back to the middle of the track The rumours all around Said you're coming back to me Come on and take a step back to the middle of the track Says you know it's going upside, you know what's going down I'm haunted by the wanderer deep inside Wanted by Haunted by I'm haunted by the wanderer that's deep in my soul Gonna look back to the middle of the track And you know it's going upside Le, le, da, le Telling me Ah ha, uh hu Ooh look back to the middle of the track And you know it's going upside Telling me... Don't tell me it's a bad dream Don't tell me it's not what it seems Don't tell me pretty soon you know Gotta stop the roller coaster Gotta make the most of it Gonna pull you down Gotta make the most of it Better cool it down |

Chased you out of this world, didn't mean to stop
I turned around and suddenly you where gone Like some bird from paradise, the fire and ice We turned around and suddenly you where gone, gone, gone And now summer burns a hole inside and years are golden once again My thoughts return to you my dear young friend Oh come this way Will you look down this way I go down on the street Where the wild wind's blowing Here comes a hurricane I say come down this way Will you look down this way I need you tonight I need you around me I'm looking through the windows And my mind goes in a whirl Well there's a multitude of candles Burning in the windows of this world I'm looking at the colours Checking out the straights I'm counting out the numbers Will tomorrow never change? Still I hear you and I love you And I'll follow you elsewhere And I'll remember this occasion I'll remember being aware 'Cause we've got panic in the evening We've got fall-out in the streets And I hear you and I follow you And I'll call out and I'll say That I can hear your sister call out And I hear her call your name They're calling sweet surrender And things won't be the same And don't you think that I don't care And don't you think that I don't know And don't you hear them calling out In a place not far from here And I hear big wheels are turning Some things are not to fear They say this is the time and place They call street fighting years And I hear great wheels are turning And I tell you not to fear They say this is the time and place They call street fighting years And I love you, I look for you And I walk to you, I walk to you And I hear big wheels are turning Is there no way out of here? They'll be calling out tomorrow |

Tell me why.
Do you know what were looking for? Any truth in the rumours I ignore? Tell me why, I still deny? Anytime secrets, in every sound. I can keep my feet up off the ground. I'm in the air, reeling everywhere. There's something new and I must say. It makes me feel so super real. Just look and you'll find. We are drifting through space and time. Stranger, beautiful stranger, Come tell me if you are, the silent star, Explain! Stranger, beautiful stranger, I wonder if you are the silent star, Explain. Tell me why, do you know what we're looking for? Any truth in the rumours I ignore? Then tell me why I still deny? Summertime, Winter, Moonlight, And the Sun. I get the feeling this has just begun, And yet it feels so super real. Look and you'll find, We are moving through space and time. Tell me who you are. Tell me who you are. |

The road opens wide
There is space here for two of us If I could slip under the wire We'd wait here Just stay here a while Slumped, the body's tired and this fear Never lets me sleep Your smile This trial elates In your eyes I see mothers open gates If fortune could smile There'd be room here for two of us And I would burn myself through the wires With hate Concentrated Unearthed Disparate In time Once in a while If peace held for two of us If we could show mercy a while With patience Transcending This coldness, never ending, thru time And if home still matters And if these bones, Were not so shattered What state so desperate, Within a hollow shell, in a forgotten state Come tear the dirt from my eyes |

I'm the one who broke apart,
I'm the one that's free. I'm the one who fell apart, Yes I'm the one, that's me. I'm the one who fell away, The one who didn't care. But there is a long trail, Stretching now from here to there. Stars will lead the way, Stars will light the sky, Stars will fall through for you and I. From the darkest days to the darkest side, There is a long trail stretching here to you and I. I'm the one who lost the sense, The one who couldn't see. I'm the one who lost the chance, Within this odyssey. I'm the one who failed to feel, The blackout of the sun. There's an old tale telling me that it's just begun. Stars will lead the way, Stars will light the sky, Stars will fall here, now for you and I. From the darkest days to the darkest side, There is a long trail stretching here to you and I. Stars will lead the way. Stars will light the sky. And I'm wandering in a trance, taken over me, Wandering in a world but I can't see. Wandering in trance, taken over me. Taken over me, Taken over me. I'm the one who broke apart, I'm the one that's free. I'm the one who broke apart, The one that couldn't see. Stars will lead the way, Stars will light the sky. Stars will fall here for you and I.

Stars will lead the way, Stars will light the skies, Stars will fall, fall, fall, fall for you and I Stars will lead the way, Stars will light the skies |

I am angry I am I'll and I'm as ugly as sin
My irritability keeps me alive and kicking I know the meaning of life, it doesn't help me a bit I know beauty and I know a good thing when I see it This is a song from under the floorboards This is a song from where the wall is cracked By force of habit, I am an insect I have to confess I'm proud as hell of that fact I know the highest and the best I accord them all due respect But the brightest jewel inside of me Glows with pleasure at my own stupidity This is a song from under the floorboards This is a song from where the wall is cracked By force of habit, I am an insect I have to confess I'm proud as hell of that fact I used to make phantoms I could later chase Images of all that could be desired Then I got tired of counting all of these blessings And then I just got tired This is a song from under the floorboards This is a song from where the wall is cracked By force of habit, I am an insect I have to confess I'm proud as hell of that fact |

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 |

Shadow let go
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 |

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 |

Don't need the money nothing can buy
All that I feel under the skies Shadows were falling my heart beat inside We walk through the fields to the rivers of ice Days turn to colour and darkness to light She said I want you I need you I want you in my life Love in the shadows the blood rushed inside Carry on little saviour to the end of the line I get high for ever Till the river runs dry for every Ooh for ever It's been so many years now I still can't forget Love flew like an eagle in God's wilderness Shadows were falling oh my heart beat inside We kissed on the bridge above the river of ice I get high for ever The river runs dry for ever I get high for ever The river runs dry for ever Ooh she tells me Ooh she tells me Tell the end of the line Shadows were falling On rivers of ice |

Paula came from Washington with long golden hair
Twenty eight dollars in a fake silk purse and a leather skirt to wear Shane came from Dublin town from the old world so green Counterfeit ticket in to JFK in the land of his dreams Street life's the only life they take a walk in the park Even tough they only met that day they were lovers by dark Laid out on the morning skies he puts a ring on her hand He said listen babe we gatta take what's ours do it or die Quit dreaming this is real life baby Real life's the only life what's it all about Quit dreaming this is real life baby Way out on the dock that night the colour is red 23rd victim of a gangland war takes his last breath Outside the sister cried she said the whole world's so mean Heavyweight killer in the ring, turns killing machine Quit dreaming this is real life baby Real life's the only life what's it all about Quit dreaming this is real life baby All my love, you're my all They way you move, you're in control The way you talk, the way you dress Your hands, your touch, your sweet caress. All my love, you're the best, Every little thing that I possess, It's all emotion when you take control, I can feel wild horses running in my soul. Oh my love, all I see The stars, the sun, the energy, If this going to kill us then let it go, Quit dreaming this is real life baby Up high above a desert sky where the space shuttles scream, Sixteen men from a dying earth take their last dream. Quit dreaming this is real life baby Quit dreaming this is cheap life baby Real life's the only life what's it all about Quit dreaming this is cheap life baby Your eyes, your lips, the shape of your mouth, It's a sweet life baby All my love, you're my all The way you move, the way you go I'm all emotion whin you take control I can feel wild horses running in my soul. All my love, you're all I see The stars, the sun, the energy, The way you move, you're in control Quit dreaming this is real life baby |
