A Sort of Homecoming

   And you know it's time to go
   Through the sleet and driving snow
   Across the fields of mourning
   Light in the distance

   And you hunger for the time
   Time to heal, desire, time
   And your earth moves beneath
   Your own dream landscape

   Oh, oh, oh...
   On borderland we run...

   I'll be there
   I'll be there...
   Tonight
   A high road
   A high road out from here

   The city walls are all come down
   The dust, a smoke screen all around
   See faces ploughed like fields that once
   Gave no resistance

   And we live by the side of the road
   On the side of a hill
   As the valley explode
   Dislocated, suffocated
   The land grows weary of its own

   Oh, oh, oh...on borderland we run...
   And still we run
   We run and don't look back
   I'll be there
   I'll be there
   Tonight
   Tonight

   I'll be there tonight...I believe
   I'll be there...somehow
   I'll be there...tonight
   Tonight

   The wind will crack in winter time
   This bomb-blast lightning waltz
   No spoken words, just a scream...

   Tonight we'll build a bridge
   Across the sea and land
   See the sky, the burning rain
   She will die and live again
   Tonight

   And your heart beats so slow
   Through the rain and fallen snow
   Across the fields of mourning
   Light's in the distance

   Oh don't sorrow, no don't weep
   For tonight, at last
   I am coming home
   I am coming home

Pride (In the Name of Love)

   One man come in the name of love
   One man come and go
   One man come, he to justify
   One man to overthrow

   In the name of love
   What more in the name of love
   In the name of love
   What more in the name of love

   One man caught on a barbed wire fence
   One man he resist
   One man washed on an empty beach.
   One man betrayed with a kiss

   In the name of love
   What more in the name of love
   In the name of love
   What more in the name of love

   (nobody like you...)

   Early morning, April 4
   Shot rings out in the Memphis sky
   Free at last, they took your life
   They could not take your pride

   In the name of love
   What more in the name of love
   In the name of love
   What more in the name of love
   In the name of love
   What more in the name of love...

 Wire

   Innocent, and in a sense I am
   Guilty of the crime that's now in hand
   Such a nice day
   Throw your life away
   Such a nice day
   Let it go

   Cold these eyes, I can't believe it
   Cold, this heart is slow
   Heart is slow

   Call me
   Such a cold heart
   Such a cold man
   Watch you tear your self apart

   So lay me down
   My soul to give
   So lay me down
   The longest sleep
   Oh, the longest sleep

   In I come and out you go you get
   Here we are again now, place your bets
   Is this the time
   The time to win or lose
   Is this the time
   The time to choose

   Cold these eyes, I can't believe it
   So deep inside a cold fire
   Cold, this heart is slow...

   Anytime you're only a kiss away
   Won't you do it now
   That's right, just keep me going

   In some white track
   You come the right track
   Cartoon cutout
   Cut throat bled out
   I'm on your side
   Be on the both side
   I'm alright Jack
   You get off my back
   I'm no dope
   I give you hope
   Here's the rope
   Here's the rope
   Now...swing away

The Unforgettable Fire

   Ice
   Your only rivers run cold
   These city lights
   They shine as silver and gold
   Dug from the night
   Your eyes as black as coal

   Walk on by
   Walk on through
   Walk 'til you run
   And don't look back
   For here I am

   Carnival
   The wheels fly and the colors spin
   Through alcohol
   Red wine that punctures the skin
   Face to face
   In a dry and waterless place

   Walk on by
   Walk on through
   So sad to beseige your love so head on
   Stay this time
   Stay tonight in a lie
   I'm only asking but I...
   I think you know
   Come on take me away
   Come on take me away
   Come on take me home
   Home again

   And if the mountain should crumble
   Or disappear into the sea
   Not a tear, no not I

   Stay in this time
   Stay tonight in...
   Ever after, this love in time
   And if you save your love
   Save it all

   Don't push me too far
   Don't push me too far
   Tonight
   Tonight
   Tonight...

 Promenade

   Earth sky sea and rain
   Is she coming back again
   Men of straw, snooker hall
   Words that build or destroy
   Dirt dry bone sand and stone
   Barbed-wire fence cut me down
   I'd like to be around
   In a spiral staircase
   To the higher ground

   And I, like a firework, explode
   Roman candle lightning lights up the sky

   In the cracked streets trampled under foot
   Sidestep, sidewalk
   I see you stare into space
   Have I got closer now
   Behind the face

   Oh...tell me...
   Charity dance with me
   Turn me around tonight
   Up through spiral staircase
   To the higher ground

   Slide show sea side town
   Coca-Cola, football radio radio radio
   Radio radio radio...

 Bad

   If you twist and turn away
   If you tear yourself in two again
   If I could, yes I would
   If I could, I would
   Let it go
   Surrender
   Dislocate

   If I could throw this
   Lifeless lifeline to the wind
   Leave this heart of clay
   See you walk, walk away
   Into the night
   And through the rain
   Into the half-light
   And through the flame

   If I could through myself
   Set your spirit free
   I'd lead your heart away
   See you break, break away
   Into the light
   And to the day

   To let it go
   And so to fade away
   To let it go
   And so fade away

   I'm wide awake
   I'm wide awake
   Wide awake
   I'm not sleeping
   Oh, no, no, no

   If you should ask then maybe they'd
   Tell you what I would say
   True colors fly in blue and black
   Bruised silken sky and burning flag
   Colors crash, collide in blood shot eyes

   If I could, you know I would
   If I could, I would
   Let it go...

   This desperation
   Dislocation
   Separation
   Condemnation
   Revelation
   In temptation
   Isolation
   Desolation
   Let it go

   And so fade away
   To let it go
   And so fade away
   To let it go
   And so to fade away

   I'm wide awake
   I'm wide awake
   Wide awake
   I'm not sleeping
   Oh, no, no, no

 Indian Summer Sky

   In the ocean
   Cut, swim, deep the sky
   Like there, I don't know why
   In the forest, there's a clearing
   I run there towards the light
   Sky...
   It's a blue sky

   In the earth a hole dig deep, decide
   If I could, I would
   Up for air to swim against the tide
   Hey, hey, hey
   Up toward the sky
   It's a blue sky

   To lose along the way
   The spark that set the flame
   To flicker and to fade
   On this the longest day

   So wind blow through to my heart
   So wind blow through my soul
   So wind blow through to my heart
   So wind blow through my soul
   So wind blow through to my heart...

   You give yourself to this the longest day
   You give yourself, you give it all away

   Two rivers run too deep
   The seasons change and so do I
   The light that strikes the tallest trees
   Will light a way for I
   Will light a way
   Up toward the sky
   It's a blue sky

   To lose along the way
   The spark that set the flame
   To flicker and to fade
   On this the longest day

   So wind go through to my heart
   So wind blow through my soul
   So wind go through to my heart
   So wind blow through my soul
   So wind go through to my heart
   So wind blow through my soul
   So wind go through to my heart...

   You give yourself to this the longest day
   You give yourself, you give it all away

 Elvis Presley and America

   (Black flash)
   Black flash over my own love
   Tell me of my eyes
   Black flash come though my own life
   Telling these things
   And I believe them
   And I believe in you

   White flash sees the sky
   And it turns its side from you
   She won't turn my back
   And I know you turn so blue
   And you know
   And your sky is feeling blue
   And your heart
   So cold when I'm with you
   And you feel
   Like no one told you to
   And your time is your side
   And your time with me
   Ah, don't talk to me
   Ah, don't talk to me
   Don't talk to me

   You know
   Like no one told you how
   But you know
   Though the king that howls has howled
   But you feel like sentimental
   But you don't care
   If I just share it in your heart
   (Heart...)

   Hopelessly
   So hopelessly
   I'm breaking through for you and me
   And you don't
   Though no one told you to
   And you found out
   Where you were going, where to
   You're through with me
   But I know that you will be back
   For more

   And you know
   And though no one told you so
   And you know, blue sky
   Like a harder shade of blue
   And you walk
   When you want
   To let go
   Me, I'm the outside, tell me fade away
   Drop me down but don't break me
   In your sleep

   In your sleep, inside
   It's in your heart and mine
   Whole sea is dark
   It's in your heart and mine

   Sweetly, those will come
   Loving is on your side walking through
   So let me in your heart
   Your beat is like something...

   They...
   Run...
   See say you're sad and reach by
   So say you're sad above beside
   Oh stay sad above beside
   So stay sad above we said

   You know I don't
   No one told you how
   (And you don't)
   (And you wipe sweat off your white brow)
   And you care
   And no one told you tried
   And your heart
   Is left out from the side

   And the rain beats down
   And the shame goes down
   And this rain keeps on coming down
   And this sky
   Tonight...

   You know "S" "O" "N" "G", why
   You're going go join to God
   You know "S" "O" "N" "G", why
   Give away some him no lie
   Give away some my de day no

   You know
   And though no one told you sky
   And you feel
   Like you pretend you can
   You say go, you live
   Go live outside of me
   Don't you leave
   Don't leave out part of me
   Then I can feel
   Like I feel before
   Like I hurt now
   And I see the floor
   If you pick me up
   Bits and pieces on this floor

   Sleep
   Sleep tonight
   And may your dreams
   Be realized
   If the thunder cloud
   Passes rain
   So let it rain
   Rain down on him
   So let it be
   So let it be

   Sleep
   Sleep tonight
   And may your dreams
   Be realized
   If the thundercloud
   Passes rain
   So let it rain
   Let it rain
   Rain on him
