Yahweh
I will follow.
I was on the outside when you said, you said you needed me.
I was looking at myself, I was blind, I could not see.
A boy tries hard to be a man, his mother takes him by his hand.
If he stops to think he starts to cry, oh why?
If you walk away, walk away, I walk away, walk away, I will follow.
If you walk away, walk away, I walk away, walk away, I will follow.
I was on the inside when they pulled the four walls down.
I was looking through the window, I was lost, I am found.
Walk away, walk away, I walk away, walk away, I will follow.
If you walk away, walk away, I walk away, walk away, I will follow.
Your eyes make a circle. I see you when I go in there.
Your eyes, your eyes...
If you walk away, walk away, I walk away, walk away, I will follow.
If you walk away, walk away, I walk away, walk away, I will follow.
I will follow, I will follow...
Sunday Bloody Sunday
I can't believe the news today. Oh, I can't close my eyes and make it go away.
How long, how long must we sing this song? How long? How long?
Cause tonight, we can be as one, tonight.
Broken bottles under children's feet, bodies strewn across the dead end street.
But I won't heed the battle call, it puts my back up, puts my back up against the wall.
Sunday, bloody Sunday, Sunday, bloody Sunday. Sunday, bloody Sunday.
And the battle's just begun, there's many lost, but tell me who has won?
The trench is dug within our hearts and mothers, children, brothers, sisters torn apart.
Sunday, bloody Sunday, Sunday, bloody Sunday.
How long, how long must we sing this song? How long? How long?
Cause tonight, we can be as one, tonight. Tonight, tonight. Tonight, tonight. Tonight.
Wipe the tears from your eyes, wipe your tears away.
Oh, wipe your tears away, oh, wipe your tears away (Sunday, bloody Sunday).
Oh, wipe your blood shot eyes (Sunday, bloody Sunday).
Sunday, bloody Sunday. Sunday, bloody Sunday.
Sunday, bloody Sunday. Sunday, bloody Sunday. I’m so sick of it all.
And it's true we are immune when fact is fiction and TV reality.
And today the millions cry, we eat and drink while tomorrow they die.
The real battle just begun to claim the victory Jesus won on
Sunday, bloody Sunday. Sunday, bloody Sunday.
Seconds
Takes a second to say goodbye, say goodbye, oh, oh, oh.
It takes a second to say goodbye, say goodbye, oh, oh, oh, say bye-bye, where you going to now?
Lightning flashes across the sky, east to west, do or die.
Like a thief in the night, see the world by candlelight. Fall, rise and fall, rise and.
In an apartment on Time Square, you can assemble them anywhere.
Held to ransom, hell to pay, a revolution everyday.
USSR, GDR, London, New York, Peking, it's the puppets, It's the puppets who pull the strings.
Fall, rise and fall, rise and.
Say goodbye, say goodbye, say goodbye, say goodbye, say goodbye.
It takes a second to say goodbye, say goodbye, oh, oh, oh.
Push the button and pull the plug, say goodbye, oh, oh, oh. Fall, rise and fall, rise and.
And they're doing the atomic bomb, do they know where the dance comes from?
Yes, they're doing the atomic bomb, they want you to sing along.
Say goodbye, say goodbye, say goodbye, say goodbye.
New Year's Day
All is quiet on New Year's Day, a world in white gets underway.
I want to be with you, be with you night and day but nothing changes on New Year's Day.
I will be with you again, I will be with you again.
Under a blood red sky, a crowd has gathered in black and white.
Arms entwined, the chosen few, the newspapers says, says say it's true it's true
and we can break through, though torn in two, we can be one.
I, I will begin again. I, I will begin again.
Oh, maybe the time is right. Oh, maybe tonight.
I will be with you again, I will be with you again.
And so we're told this is the golden age and gold is the reason for the wars we wage.
Though I want to be with you, be with you night and day,
nothing changes on New Year's Day, on New Year's Day…
Drowning Man
Take my hand, you know I'll be there. If you can, I'll cross the sky for your love.
For I have promised, oh, to be with you tonight and for the time that will come.
Take my hand, you know I'll be there. If you can, I'll cross the sky for your love.
And I understand these winds and tides, this change of times won't drag you away.
Hold on, and hold on tightly. Hold on, and don't let go of my love.
The storms will pass (the storm will pass). It won't be long now (it won't be long now).
This love will last, this love will last forever.
Take my hand, you know I'll be there. If you can, I'll cross the sky for your love.
Give you what I hold dear.
Hold on, hold on tightly. Hold on, hold on tightly.
Rise up, rise up with wings like eagles. You run, you run, you run and not grow weary.
Hold on, and hold on tightly. Hold on, hold on tightly.
To this love, last forever. To this love, last forever.
Take my hand… Take my hand…
Two Hearts Beat As One
I don't know, I don't know which side I'm on.
I don't know my right from left or my right from wrong.
Say I'm a fool, you say I'm nothing. But if I'm a fool for you, oh, that's something.
Two hearts beat as one, two hearts beat as one, two hearts.
I can't stop the dance, honey, this is my last chance.
I said, can't stop the dance, maybe this is my last chance.
Two hearts beat as one, two hearts beat as one, two hearts.
They beat on black, beat on white, beat on everything, don't get it right.
Beat on you, beat on me, beat on love.
I don't know how to say what's got to be said.
I don't know if it's black or white, there's others see it red.
I don't get the answers right, I leave that to you.
Is this love out of fashion, or is it the time of year?
Are these words distraction to the words you want to hear?
Two hearts beat as one, two hearts beat as one.
I try to spit it out, I try to explain the way I feel. Oh, yeah, two hearts.
I can't stop the dance, maybe this is my last chance.
I said I can't stop the dance, maybe this is my last chance.
I said, don't stop the dance, maybe this is my last chance,
I said I can't stop the dance, maybe this is our last chance.
I said don't stop the dance, maybe this is our last chance.
40
I waited patiently for the Lord, he inclined and heard my cry.
He brought me up out of the pit, out of the miry clay.
I will sing, sing a new song, I will sing, sing a new song.
How long to sing this song?, How long to sing this song?
How long, how long, how long, how long to sing this song?
He set my feet upon a rock and made my footsteps firm.
Many will see, many will see and fear.
I will sing, sing a new song, I will sing, sing a new song.
I will sing, sing a new song, I will sing, sing a new song.
How long to sing this song?, How long to sing this song?
How long, how long, how long, how long…
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 explodes.
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 wintertime, 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?
Early morning, April 4th, 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?
In the name of love, what more in the name of love?
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 till 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 besiege 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, seaside 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.
Elvis Presley and America
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.
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 (and you don't),
no one told you how (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.
MLK
Sleep, sleep tonight and may your dreams be realized.
If the thundercloud passes rain, so let it rain, rain down on him.
Mm, so let it be. Mm, 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.
Where the Streets Have No Name
I want to run, I want to hide. I want to tear down the walls that hold me inside.
I want to reach out and touch the flame where the streets have no name.
I want to feel sunlight on my face. I see the dust cloud disappear without a trace.
I want to take shelter from the poison rain where the streets have no name,
where the streets have no name, where the streets have no name.
We're still building then burning down love, burning down love.
And when I go there, I go there with you, it's all I can do.
The city's aflood and our love turns to rust.
We're beaten and blown by the wind, trampled in dust.
I'll show you a place high on a desert plain where the streets have no name,
where the streets have no name, where the streets have no name.
We're still building then burning down love, burning down love.
And when I go there, I go there with you, it's all I can do.
Our love turns to rust. We're beaten and blown by the wind, blown by the wind.
Oh, and I see love, see our love turn to rust.
We're beaten and blown by the wind, blown by the wind.
Oh, when I go there, I go there with you, it's all I can do.
I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For
I have climbed highest mountain, I have run through the fields
only to be with you, only to be with you.
I have run, I have crawled, I have scaled these city walls, these city walls only to be with you.
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for. But I still haven't found what I'm looking for.
I have kissed honey lips, felt the healing in her fingertips. It burned like fire, this burning desire.
I have spoke with the tongue of angels, I have held the hand of a devil.
It was warm in the night, I was cold as a stone.
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for. But I still haven't found what I'm looking for.
I believe in the kingdom come, then all the colors will bleed into one, bleed into one.
But yes, I'm still running.
You broke the bonds and you loosed the chains,
carried the cross and all my shame, all my shame. You know I believe it.
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for. But I still haven't found what I'm looking for.
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for. But I still haven't found what I'm looking for...
With or Without You
See the stone set in your eyes, see the thorn twist in your side, I wait for you.
Sleight of hand and twist of fate, on a bed of nails she makes me wait.
And I wait without you, with or without you, with or without you.
Through the storm we reach the shore, you give it all but I want more.
And I'm waiting for you, with or without you, with or without you.
I can't live with or without you.
And you give yourself away, and you give yourself away.
And you give, and you give, and you give yourself away.
My hands are tied, my body bruised, she's got me with.
And nothing to win and nothing left to lose.
And you give yourself away, and you give yourself away.
And you give, and you give, and you give yourself away.
With or without you, with or without you. I can't live with or without you.
With or without you, with or without you. I can't live with or without you, with or without you.
Bullet the Blue Sky
In the howling wind comes a stinging rain. See it driving nails into the souls on the tree of pain.
From the firefly, a red orange glow. See the face of fear running scared in the valley below.
Bullet the blue sky, bullet the blue sky, bullet the blue, bullet the blue.
In the locust wind comes a rattle and hum. Jacob wrestled the angel and the angel was overcome.
You plant a demon seed, you raise a flower of fire.
See them burning crosses, see the flames higher and higher.
Bullet the blue sky, bullet the blue sky, bullet the blue, bullet the blue.
This guy comes up to me, his face red like a rose on a thorn bush
like all the colors of a royal flush and he's peeling off those dollar bills,
slapping them down, one hundred, two hundred.
And I can see those fighter planes, and I can see those fighter planes
across the mud huts where the children sleep, through the alleys of a quiet city street.
You take the staircase to the first floor, turn the key and slowly unlock the door.
As a man breathes into a saxophone and through the walls you hear the city groan.
Outside is America, outside is America, America.
Across the field you see the sky ripped open, see the rain through a gaping wound
pounding on the women and children who run into the arms of America.
Running to Stand Still
And so she woke up, woke up from where she was lying still.
Said I gotta do something about where we're going.
Step on a steam train, step out of the driving rain, maybe run from the darkness in the night.
Singing ha, ah la, la, la, de day. Ah la, la, la, de day. Ah la, la, de day.
Sweet the sin, bitter taste in my mouth. I see seven towers but I only see one way out.
You got to cry without weeping, talk without speaking, scream without raising your voice.
You know I took the poison from the poison stream then I floated out of here.
Singing ha, ah la, la, la, de day. Ah la, la, la, de day. Ah la, la, de day.
She runs through the streets with her eyes painted red under black belly of cloud in the rain.
In through a doorway she brings me white gold and pearls stolen from the sea,
she is raging, she is raging and the storm blows up in her eyes.
She will suffer the needle chill, she's running to stand still.
Red Hill Mining Town
From father to son, the blood runs thin. See faces frozen still against the wind.
The seam is split, the coal face cracked. The lines are long, there's no going back.
Through hands of steel and heart of stone, our labor day has come and gone.
Yeah, you leave me holding on in Red Hill Town, see lights go down, I'm
hanging on, you're all that's left to hold on to, I'm still waiting.
I'm hanging on, you're all that's left to hold on to.
The glass is cut, the bottle run dry. Our love runs cold in the caverns of the night.
We're wounded by fear, injured in doubt. I can lose myself, you, I can't live without.
Yeah, you leave me holding on in Red Hill Town, see lights go down, I'm
hanging on, you're all that's left to hold on to, I'm still waiting.
I'm hanging on, you're all that's left to hold on to, hold on to.
We'll scorch the earth, set fire to the sky. We stoop so low to reach so high.
A link is lost, the chain undone. We wait all day for night to come
and it comes like a hunter child.
I'm hanging on, you're all that's left to hold on to, I'm still waiting.
I'm hanging on, you're all that's left to hold on to.
Love, slowly stripped away. Love, has seen its better day.
Hanging on, the lights go out on Red Hill, the lights go down on Red Hill,
lights go down on Red Hill town. The lights go down on Red Hill.
In God's Country
Desert sky, dream beneath a desert sky,
the rivers run but soon run dry, we need new dreams tonight.
Desert rose, dreamed I saw a desert rose.
Dress torn in ribbons and in bows, like a siren she calls to me.
Sleep comes like a drug in God's Country. Sad eyes, crooked crosses in God's Country.
Set me alight, we'll punch a hole right through the night.
Everyday the dreamers die, see what's on the other side.
She is liberty, she comes to rescue me. Hope, faith, her vanity, the greatest gift is gold.
Sleep comes like a drug in God's Country. Sad eyes, crooked crosses in God's Country.
Naked flame, she stands with a naked flame, I stand with the sons of Cain.
Burned by the fire of love, burned by the fire of love.
Trip Through Your Wires
In the distance, she saw me coming round, I was calling out, I was calling out.
Still shaking, still in pain, you put me back together again.
I was cold and you clothed me honey, I was down and you lifted me honey.
Angel, angel or devil? I was thirsty and you wet my lips.
You, I'm waiting for you. You, you set my desire, I trip through your wires.
I was broken, bent out of shape, I was naked in the clothes you made.
Lips were dry, throat like rust, you gave me shelter from the heat and the dust.
No more water in the well, no more water, water.
Angel, angel or devil? I was thirsty and you wet my lips.
You, I'm waiting for you. You, you set my desire, I trip through your wires.
All I need, all I need…
Thunder, thunder on the mountain, there's a rain cloud in the desert sky.
In the distance she saw me coming round, I was calling out, I was calling out.
One Tree Hill
We turn away to face the cold, enduring chill as the day begs the night for mercy, love.
The sun so bright it leaves no shadows, only scars carved into stone on the face of earth.
The moon is up and over One Tree Hill. We see the sun go down in your eyes.
You run like river, on like a sea. You run like a river runs to the sea.
And in the world a heart of darkness, a fire zone where poets speak their heart then bleed for it.
Jara sang, his song a weapon in the hands of love, you know his blood still cries from the ground.
It runs like a river runs to the sea. It runs like a river to the sea.
I don't believe in painted roses or bleeding hearts while bullets rape the night of the merciful.
I'll see you again when the stars fall from the sky
and the moon has turned red over One Tree Hill.
We run like a river, run to the sea. We run like a river to the sea.
And when it's raining, raining hard, that's when the rain will break my heart.
Raining, raining, raining in the heart. Raining, raining, raining in the heart. Raining, raining…
Oh, great ocean, oh, great sea. Run to the ocean, run to the sea.
Angel of Harlem
It was a cold and wet December day when we touched the ground at JFK.
Snow was melting on the ground, on BLS I heard the sound of an angel.
New York, like a Christmas tree, tonight this city belongs to me, angel.
Soul love, this love won't let me go. So long, angel of Harlem.
Birdland on fifty-three, the street sounds like a symphony.
We got John Coltrane and a love supreme, Miles says she's got to be an angel.
Lady Day got diamond eyes, she sees the truth behind the lies, angel.
Soul love, this love won't let me go. So long, angel of Harlem.
She says it's heart, heart and soul. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, right now.
Blue light on the avenue, God knows they got to you.
An empty glass, the lady sings, eyes swollen like a bee sting.
Blinded, you lost your way through the side streets and the alleyway
like a star exploding in the night, falling to the city in broad daylight.
An angel in Devil's shoes, salvation in the blues, you never looked like an angel.
Yeah yeah, angel of Harlem.
Angel, angel of Harlem. Angel, angel of Harlem. Angel, angel of Harlem…
All I Want Is You
You say you want diamonds on a ring of gold. You say you want your story to remain untold.
But all the promises we make from the cradle to the grave when all I want is you.
You say you'll give me a highway with no one on it,
treasure just to look upon it, all the riches in the night.
You say you'll give me eyes in a moon of blindness,
a river in a time of dryness, a harbor in the tempest.
But all the promises we make from the cradle to the grave when all I want is you.
You say you want your love to work out right, to last with me through the night.
You say you want diamonds on a ring of gold,
your story to remain untold, your love not to grow cold.
All the promises we break from the cradle to the grave when all I want is you.
You, all I want is you, all I want is you, all I want is you.
One
Is it getting better or do you feel the same?
Will it make it easier on you now you got someone to blame?
You say one love, one life when it's one need in the night.
One love, we get to share it. Leaves you baby if you don't care for it.
Did I disappoint you or leave a bad taste in your mouth?
You act like you never had love and you want me to go without.
Well it's too late tonight to drag the past out into the light.
We're one, but we're not the same, we get to carry each other, carry each other, one.
Have you come here for forgiveness? Have you come to raise the dead?
Have you come here to play Jesus to the lepers in your head?
Did I ask too much? More than a lot? You gave me nothing now it's all I got.
We're one but we're not the same. Well, we hurt each other then we do it again.
You say love is a temple, love a higher law. Love is a temple, love the higher law.
You ask me to enter but then you make me crawl
and I can't be holding on to what you got when all you got is hurt.
One love, one blood, one life, you got to do what you should.
One life with each other, sisters, brothers.
One life but we're not the same, we get to carry each other, carry each other.
One life, one love.
Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses
You're dangerous cause you're honest. You're dangerous, you don't know what you want.
Well you left my heart empty as a vacant lot for any spirit to haunt.
Hey, hey, sha, la, la, hey, hey.
You're an accident waiting to happen. You're a piece of glass left there on the beach.
Well you tell me things I know you're not supposed to then you leave me just out of reach.
Hey, hey, sha, la, la, hey, hey, sha, la, la.
Who's gonna ride your wild horses? Who's gonna drown in your blue sea?
Who's gonna ride your wild horses? Who's gonna fall at the foot of thee?
Well you stole it cause I needed the cash. And you killed it cause I wanted revenge.
Well you lied to me 'cause I asked you to. Baby, can we still be friends?
Hey, hey, sha, la, la, hey, hey, sha, la, la.
Who's gonna ride your wild horses? Who's gonna drown in your blue sea?
Who's gonna ride your wild horses? Who's gonna fall at the foot of thee?
Oh, the deeper I spin, oh, the hunter will sin for your ivory skin.
Took a drive in the dirty rain to a place where the wind calls your name
under the trees, the river laughing at you and me.
Hallelujah, heavens white rose, the doors you open, I just can't close.
Don't turn around, don't turn around again. Don't turn around, your gypsy heart.
Don't turn around, don't turn around again. Don't turn around, and don't look back.
Come on now love, don't you look back.
Who's gonna ride your wild horses? Who's gonna drown in your blue sea?
Who's gonna taste your salt water kisses? Who's gonna take the place of me?
Who's gonna ride your wild horses? Who's gonna tame the heart of thee?
So Cruel
We crossed the line, who pushed who over? It doesn't matter to you, it matters to me.
We're cut adrift but still floating. I'm only hanging on to watch you go down, my love.
I disappeared in you, you disappeared from me.
I gave you everything you ever wanted, it wasn't what you wanted.
The men who love you, you hate the most, they pass right through you like a ghost.
They look for you but your spirit is in the air, baby, you're nowhere.
Oh, love, you say in love there are no rules. Oh, love, sweetheart, you're so cruel.
Desperation is a tender trap, it gets you every time. You put your lips to her lips to stop the lie.
Her skin is pale like God's only dove, screams like an angel for your love,
then she makes you watch her from above and you need her like a drug.
Oh, love, you say in love there are no rules. Oh, love, sweetheart, you're so cruel.
She wears my love like a see-through dress.
Her lips say one thing, her movements something else.
Oh love, like a screaming flower. Love, dying every hour, love.
You don't know if it's fear or desire, danger the drug that takes you higher.
Head in heaven, fingers in the mire.
Her heart is racing, you can't keep up, the night is bleeding like a cut.
Between the horses of love and lust, we are trampled underfoot.
Oh, love, you say in love there are no rules. Oh, love, sweetheart, you're so cruel.
Oh, love, to stay with you I'd be a fool. Sweetheart, you're so cruel.
Tryin' to Throw Your Arms Around the World
Six o'clock in the morning, you're the last to hear the warning.
You've been trying to throw your arms around the world.
You've been falling off the sidewalk, your lips move but you can't talk,
been trying to throw your arms around the world.
I'm gonna run to you, run to you, run to you, be still.
I'm gonna run to you, run to you, run to you, woman, I will.
Sunrise like a nosebleed, your head hurts and you can't breathe.
You been trying to throw your arms around the world.
How far you gonna go before you lose your way back home?
You've been trying to throw your arms around the world.
I'm gonna run to you, run to you, run to you, woman, be still.
I'm gonna run to you, run to you, run to you, woman, I will.
Yeah, I dreamed that I saw Dali with a supermarket trolley,
he was trying to throw his arms around a girl.
He took an open top beetle through the eye of a needle.
He was trying to throw his arms around the world.
I'm gonna run to you, run to you, run to you, woman, be still.
I'm gonna run to you, run to you, run to you, oh, woman, I will.
And you just gotta, you just gotta make your faith, see.
Nothing much to say I guess, just the same as all the rest,
been trying to throw your arms around the world.
And a woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle
when you're trying to throw your arms around the world.
I'm gonna run to you, run to you, run to you, I'm gonna run to you, run to you, run to you.
I'm gonna run to you, run to you, run to you, woman, be still, woman, be still.
Be still, woman, be still, woman, I will.
Ultraviolet (Light My Way)
Sometimes I feel like I don't know, sometimes I feel like checking out.
I want to get it wrong, can't always be strong and love it won't be long.
Oh sugar, don't you cry. Oh child, wipe the tears from your eyes.
You know I need you to be strong and the day is as dark as the night is long.
Feel like trash, you make me feel clean. I'm in the black, can't see or be seen.
Baby, baby, baby, light my way. Alright now, baby, baby, baby, light my way.
You bury your treasure where it can't be found.
But your love is like a secret that's been passed around.
There is a silence that comes to a house where no one can sleep.
I guess it's the price of love, I know it's not cheap.
Oh, come on, baby, baby, baby, light my way. Oh, come on, baby, baby, baby, light my way.
Oh, ultraviolet light, ultraviolet, ultraviolet, ultraviolet. Baby, baby, baby, light my way.
I remember when we could sleep on stones. Now we lie together in whispers and moans.
When I was all messed up and I had opera in my head,
your love was a light bulb hanging over my bed
Baby, baby, baby, light my way, oh, come on, baby, baby, baby, light my way.
Oh, ultraviolet light, ultraviolet, ultraviolet, ultraviolet.
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, light my way.
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, light my way.
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, light my way.
Baby, baby, baby, light my way. Baby, baby, baby, light my way.
Baby, baby, baby, light my way.
Stay (Faraway, So Close!)
Green light, Seven Eleven, you stop in for a pack of cigarettes.
You don't smoke, don't even want to, hey now, check your change.
Dressed up like a car crash, your wheels are turning but you're upside down.
You say when he hits you, you don't mind because when he hurts you, you feel alive.
Hey babe, is that what it is?
Red lights, gray morning, you stumble out of a hole in the ground.
A vampire or a victim, it depends on who's around.
You used to stay in to watch the adverts, you could lip synch to the talk shows.
And if you look, you look through me, and when you talk, you talk at me,
and when I touch you, you don't feel a thing.
If I could stay, then the night would give you up. Stay, and the day would keep its trust.
Stay, and the night would be enough.
Faraway, so close, up with the static and the radio.
With satellite television, you can go anywhere.
Miami, New Orleans, London, Belfast and Berlin.
And if you listen, I can't call. And if you jump, you just might fall.
And if you shout, I'll only hear you.
If I could stay, then the night would give you up. Stay, and the day would keep its trust.
Stay, with the demons you drowned, stay, with the spirit I found,
stay and the night would be enough.
Three o'clock in the morning, it's quiet and there's no one around.
Just the bang and the clatter as an angel runs to ground.
Just the bang and the clatter as an angel hits the ground.
Sweetest Thing
My love, she throws me like a rubber ball. Oh, oh, oh, the sweetest thing.
But she won't catch me or break my fall. Oh, oh, oh, the sweetest thing.
Baby's got blue skies up ahead but in this I'm a rain cloud.
ou know she wants a dry kind of love. Oh, oh, oh, the sweetest thing.
I'm losing you, I'm losing you ain't love the sweetest thing?
I wanted to run but she made me crawl. Oh, oh, oh, the sweetest thing.
Eternal fire, she turned me to straw. Oh, oh, oh, the sweetest thing.
I know I got black eyes but they burn so brightly for her.
I guess it's a blind kind of love. Oh, oh, oh, the sweetest thing.
I'm losing you, I'm losing you. Ain't love the sweetest thing (Ain't love the sweetest thing)?
Ain't love the sweetest thing (Ain't love the sweetest thing)?
Blue-eyed boy meets a brown-eyed girl. Oh, oh, oh, the sweetest thing.
You can sew it up but you still see the tear. Oh, oh, oh, the sweetest thing.
Baby's got blue skies up ahead and in this I'm a rain cloud.
Ours is a stormy kind of love. Oh, oh, oh, the sweetest thing.
Doo, doo, doo doo, doo doo, doo, doo…
The sweetest thing, oh, the sweetest thing.
Beautiful Day
The heart is a bloom, shoots up through the stony ground.
There’s no room, no space to rent in this town.
You’re out of luck and the reason that you had to care,
the traffic is stuck and you’re not moving anywhere.
You thought you’d found a friend to take you out of this place,
someone you could lend a hand in return for grace.
It’s a beautiful day, sky falls, you feel like it’s a beautiful day, don’t let it get away.
You’re on the road but you’ve got no destination.
You’re in the mud in the maze of her imagination.
You love this town, even if that doesn’t ring true,
you’ve been all over and it’s been all over you.
It’s a beautiful day, don’t let it get away, it’s a beautiful day.
Touch me, take me to that other place. Teach me, I know I’m not a hopeless case.
See the world in green and blue, see China right in front of you.
See the canyons broken by cloud, see the tuna fleets clearing the sea out.
See the Bedouin fires at night, see the oil fields at first light.
And see the bird with a leaf in her mouth, after the flood all the colors came out.
It was a beautiful day, don’t let it get away, beautiful day.
Touch me, take me to that other place. Teach me, I know I’m not a hopeless case.
What you don’t have, you don’t need it now. What you don’t know, you can feel it somehow.
What you don’t have, you don’t need it now, don’t need it now, was a beautiful day…
Stuck In A Moment
I’m not afraid of anything in this world.
There’s nothing you can throw at me that I haven’t already heard.
I’m just trying to find a decent melody, a song that I can sing in my own company.
You’ve got to get yourself together, you’ve got stuck in a moment and now you can’t get out of it.
Don’t say that later will be better, now you’re stuck in a moment and you can’t get out of it.
I will not forsake the colors that you bring,
the nights you filled with fireworks, they left you with nothing.
I am still enchanted by the light you brought to me.
I listen through your ears, through your eyes I can see.
And you are such a fool to worry like you do.
I know it’s tough and you can never get enough of what you don’t really need now, my, oh my.
You’ve got to get yourself together, you’ve got stuck in a moment and now you can’t get out of it.
Oh love, look at you now, you’ve got yourself stuck in a moment and you can’t get out of it.
I was unconscious, half asleep, the water is warm till you discover how deep.
I wasn’t jumping, for me it was a fall, it’s a long way down to nothing at all.
You’ve got to get yourself together, you’ve got stuck in a moment and now you can’t get out of it.
Don’t say that later will be better, now you’re stuck in a moment and you can’t get out of it.
And if the night runs over, and if the day won’t last,
and if our way should falter along the stony pass, it’s just a moment, this time will pass.
Walk On
And love is not the easy thing. The only baggage that you can bring,
not the easy thing, the only baggage you can bring is all that you can't leave behind.
And if the darkness is to keep us apart and if the daylight feels like it's a long way off,
and if your glass heart should crack and for a second you turn back, oh no, be strong.
Walk on, walk on, what you got, they can't steal it, no, they can't even feel it.
Walk on, walk on, stay safe tonight
You're packing a suitcase for a place, none of us has been.
A place that has to be believed, to be seen.
You could have flown away, a singing bird in an open cage.
Who will only fly, only fly for freedom.
Walk on, walk on, what you got, you can't deny it, can't sell it or buy it.
Walk on, walk on, you stay safe tonight.
And I know it aches, how your heart it breaks, you can only take so much.
Walk on, walk on.
Home, hard to know what it is if you never had one.
Home, I can't say where it is but I know I'm going. Home, that's where the hurt is.
And I know it aches and your heart it breaks, you can only take so much.
Walk on, leave it behind, you've got to leave it behind.
All that you fashion, all that you make, all that you build, all that you break,
all that you measure, all that you feel, all this you can leave behind.
All that you reason, all that you care, (It's only time and I'll never fill up all I find)
all that you sense, all that you scheme, all you dress up and all that you see,
all you create, all that you wreck, all that you hate…
Vertigo
Uno, dos, tres, catorce (Turn it up loud, captain)
Lights go down, it's dark, your jungle is your head can't rule your heart,
a feeling so much stronger than I thought your eyes are widened
though your soul, it can't be bought, your mind can wander.
Hello, hello (hola!), I'm at a place called vertigo (dónde está)
It's everything I wish I didn't know except you give me something I can feel, feel.
The night is full of holes, there's bullets ripping sky of ink, with gold,
they twinkle as the boys play rock and roll, they know that they can't dance, at least they know.
I can't stand the beats, 'm asking for the check, girl with crimson nails, Jesus 'round her neck
swinging to the music, swinging to the music, oh, oh.
Hello, hello (hola!), I'm at a place called vertigo (dónde está)
It's everything I wish I didn't know except you give me something I can feel, feel. (Check it)
All of this, all of this can be yours, all of this,
all of this can be yours, all of this, all of this can be yours.
Just give me what I want and no one gets hurt.
Hello, hello (hola!), we're at a place called vertigo (dónde está).
Lights go down and all I know is that you give me something
I can feel your love teaching me how, your love is teaching me how, how to kneel, kneel.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own
Tough, you think you've got the stuff, you're telling me and anyone you're hard enough.
You don't have to put up a fight, you don't have to always be right.
Let me take some of the punches for you tonight.
Listen to me now, I need to let you know you don't have to go it alone.
And it's you when I look in the mirror, and it's you when I don't pick up the phone,
sometimes you can't make it on your own.
We fight all the time, you and I, that's alright, we're the same soul.
I don't need, I don't need to hear you say
that if we weren't so alike, you'd like me a whole lot more.
Listen to me now, I need to let you know you don't have to go it alone.
And it's you when I look in the mirror, and it's you when I don't pick up the phone,
sometimes you can't make it on your own.
I know that we don't talk, I'm sick of it all. Can you hear me when I sing?
You're the reason I sing, you're the reason why the opera is in me.
Where are we now? I've still got to let you know,
a house still doesn't make a home, don't leave me here alone.
And it's you when I look in the mirror, and it's you that makes it hard to let go,
sometimes you can't make it on your own.
Sometimes you can't make it, best you can do is to fake it,
sometimes you can't make it on your own.
City Of Blinding Lights
The more you see the less you know, the less you find out as you go.
I knew much more then than I do now.
Neon heart, day-glow eyes, the city lit by fireflies.
They're advertising in the skies for people like us.
And I miss you when you're not around, I'm getting ready to leave the ground.
Oh, you look so beautiful tonight in the city of blinding lights.
Don't look before you laugh, look ugly in a photograph.
Flash bulbs, purple irises the camera can't see.
I've seen you walk unafraid, I've seen you in the clothes you've made.
Can you see the beauty inside of me? What happened to the beauty I had inside of me?
And I miss you when you're not around, I'm getting ready to leave the ground.
Oh, you look so beautiful tonight in the city of blinding lights.
Time...time....time...time...time won't leave me as I am.
But time won't take the boy out of this man.
Oh, you look so beautiful tonight. Oh, you look so beautiful tonight.
Oh, you look so beautiful tonight in the city of blinding lights.
The more you know, the less you feel, some pray for, others steal.
Blessings are not just for the ones who kneel, luckily…
Yahweh
Take these shoes, click clacking down some dead end street.
Take these shoes and make them fit.
Take this shirt, polyester white trash made in nowhere.
Take this shirt and make it clean, clean.
Take this soul, stranded in some skin and bones, take this soul and make it sing.
Yahweh, Yahweh, always pain before the child is born.
Yahweh, Yahweh, still I'm waiting for the dawn.
Take these hands, teach them what to carry. Take these hands, don't make a fist, no.
Take this mouth, so quick to criticize. Take this mouth, give it a kiss.
Yahweh, Yahweh, always pain before the child is born.
Yahweh, Yahweh, still I'm waiting for the dawn.
Still waiting for the dawn, the sun is coming up, sun is coming up on the ocean,
this love is like a drop in the ocean, this love is like a drop in the ocean.
Yahweh, Yahweh, always pain before a child is born.
Yahweh, tell me now, why the dark before the dawn?
Take this city, a city should be shining on a hill. Take this city, if it be your will
What no man can own, no man can take.
Take this heart, take this heart, take this heart and make it break.
