Climbing up on Solsbury Hill
I could see the city light Wind was blowing, time stood still Eagle flew out of the night He was something to observe Came in close, I heard a voice Standing stretching every nerve Had to listen had no choice I did not believe the information I just had to trust imagination My heart going boom boom boom "Son," he said "Grab your things, I've come to take you home." To keepin' silence I resigned My friends would think I was a nut Turning water into wine Open doors would soon be shut So I went from day to day Tho' my life was in a rut "Till I thought of what I'd say Which connection I should cut I was feeling part of the scenery I walked right out of the machinery My heart going boom boom boom "Hey" he said "Grab your things I've come to take you home." When illusion spin her net I'm never where I want to be And liberty she pirouette When I think that I am free Watched by empty silhouettes Who close their eyes but still can see No on taught them etiquette I will show another me Today I don't need a replacement I'll tell them what the smile on my face meant My heart going boom boom boom "Hey" I said "You can keep my things, they've come to take me home." |

In this proud land we grew up strong
We were wanted all along I was taught to fight, taught to win I never thought I could fail No fight left or so it seems I am a man whose dreams have all deserted I've changed my face, I've changed my name But no one wants you when you lose Don't give up 'cos you have friends Don't give up You're not beaten yet Don't give up I know you can make it good Though I say it all around Never thought I could be affected Thought that we'd be the last to go It is so strange the way things turn Drove the night toward my home The place that I was born, on the lakeside As daylight broke, I saw the earth The trees had burned down to the ground Don't give up You still have us Don't give up We don't need much of anything Don't give up 'cos somewhere there's a place where we belong Rest your head You worry too much It's going to be alright When times get rough You can fall back on us Don't give up Please don't give up 'Got to walk out of here I can't take anymore Going to stand on that bridge Keep my eyes down below Whatever may come and Whatever may go That river's flowing That river's flowing Moved on to another town Tried hard to settle down For every job, so many men So many men no-one needs Don't give up 'cos you have friends Don't give up You're not the only one Don't give up No reason to be ashamed Don't give up You still have us Don't give up We're proud of who you are Don't give up You know it's never been easy Don't give up 'cos I believe there's a place There's a place where we belong |

Something in me, dark and sticky

I caught sight of my reflection
I caught it in the window I saw the darkness in my heart I saw the signs of my undoing They had been there from the start And the darkness still has work to do The knotted chord's untying The heated and the holy Oh, they're sitting there on high So secure with everything they're buying In the blood of Eden Lie the woman and the man With the man in the woman And the woman in the man In the blood of Eden Lie the woman and the man We wanted the the union Oh, the union of the woman The woman and the man My grip is surely slipping I think I've lost my hold Yes, I think I've lost my hold I cannot get insurance anymore They don't take credit, only gold Is that a dagger or a crucifix I see You hold so tightly in your hand? And all the while the distance grows between you and me I do not understand In the blood of Eden Lie the woman and the man With the man in the woman And the woman in the man In the blood of Eden Lie the woman and the man We wanted the the union Oh, the union of the woman The woman and the man At my request, you take me in In that tenderness, I am floating away No certainty, nothing to rely on Holding still for a moment What a moment this is Oh, for a moment of forgetting A moment of bliss Ohh I can hear the distant thunder Of a million unheard souls Of a million unheard souls Watch each one reach for creature comfort For the filling of their holes In the blood of Eden Lie the woman and the man With the man in the woman And the woman in the man In the blood of Eden Lie the woman and the man We wanted the union Of the woman and the man In the blood of Eden Lie the woman and the man I feel the man in the woman And the woman in the man In the blood of Eden Lie the woman and the man I feel the man in the woman And the woman in the man In the blood of Eden We have done everything we can In the blood of Eden So we end as we began With the man in the woman And the woman in the man It was all for the union Oh, the union of the woman The woman and the man |

I woke up and the world outside was dark
All so quiet before the dawn Opened up the door and walked outside The ground was cold I walked until I couldn't walk any more To a place I'd never been There was something stirring in the air In front of me, I could see More than this More than this So much more than this There is something else there When all that you had has all gone And more than this I stand Feeling so connected And I'm all there Right next to you It started when I saw the ship go down I saw them struggle in the sea And suddenly the picture disappears In front of me Now we're busy making all our busy plans On foundations build to last But nothing fades as fast as the future And nothing clings like the past, until we can see More than this More than this So much more than this There is something out there More than this It's coming through And more than this I stand alone and so connected And I'm all there Right next to you Oh then it's alright When with every day another bit falls away Oh but its still alright, alright, alright And like words together we can make some sense Much more than this Way beyond imagination Much more than this Beyond the stars With my head so full So full of fractured pictures And I'm all there Right next to you More than this More than this More than this More than this |

Red rain is coming down Red rain Red rain is pouring down Pouring down all over me I am standing up at the water's edge in my dream I cannot make a single sound as you scream It can't be that cold, the ground is still warm to touch This place is so quiet, sensing that storm Red rain is coming down Red rain Red rain is pouring down Pouring down all over me Well I've seen them buried in a sheltered place in this town They tell you that this rain can sting, and look down There is no blood around see no sign of pain Hay ay ay no pain Seeing no red at all, see no rain Red rain is coming down Red rain Red rain is pouring down Pouring down all over me Red rain - Putting the pressure on much harder now To return again and again Just let the red rain splash you Let the rain fall on your skin I come to you defences down With the trust of a child Red rain is coming down Red rain Red rain is pouring down Pouring down all over me And I can't watch any more No more denial It's so hard to lay down in all of this Red rain is coming down Red rain is pouring down Red rain is coming down all over me I see it Red rain is coming down Red rain is pouring down Red rain is coming down all over me I'm bathing in it Red rain coming down Red rain is coming down Red rain is coming down all over me I'm begging you Red rain coming down Red rain coming down Red rain coming down Red rain coming down Over me in the red red sea Over me Over me Red rain |

When the night shows The signals grows on radios All the strange things They come and go, as early warnings Stranded starfish have no place to hide Still waiting for the swollen easter tide Theres no point in direction if we cannot even choose a side. I took the old track The hollow shoulder, across the waters On the tall cliffs They were getting older, sons and daughters The jaded underworld was riding high Waves of steel hurled metal at the sky And as the nail sunk in the cloud, the rain was warm and soaked the crowd. Lord, here comes the flood We will say goodbye to flesh and blood If again the seas are silent In any still alive It'll be those who gave their island to survive Drink up, dreamers, youre running dry. When the flood calls, You have no home, you have no walls In the thunder crash Youre a thousand minds, within a flash Dont be afraid to cry at what you see The actors gone, theres only you and me And if we break before the dawn, they'll use up what we used to be. Lord, here comes the flood We will say goodbye to flesh and blood If again, the seas are silent In any still alive Itll be those who gave their island to survive Drink up, dreamers, youre running dry. |

Looking out the window
I see the red dust clear High up on the red rock Stands the shadow with the spear The land here is strong Strong beneath my feet it feeds on the blood it feeds on the heat The rhythm is below me The rhythm of the heat The rhythm is around me The rhythm has control The rhythm is inside me The rhythm has my soul The rhythm of the heat The rhythm of the heat The rhythm of the heat The rhythm of the heat Drawn across the plainland To the place that is higher Drawn into the circle That dances round the fire We spit into our hands And breathe across the palms Raising them up high Help open to the sun Self-conscious, uncertain I'm showered with the dust The spirit enters into me And I submit to trust Smash the radio No outside voices here Smash the watch Cannot tear the day to shreds Smash the camera Cannot steal away the spirits The rhythm is around me The rhythm has control The rhythm is inside me The rhythm has my soul |

(Ahhhhhh, ahhh)
So, you know how people are When it's all gone much too far The way their minds are made Still, there's something you should know That I could not let show That fear of letting go And in this in moment, I need to be needed With this darkness all around me I like to be liked In this emptiness and fear I want to be wanted 'Cos I love to be loved I love to be loved I love to be loved Yes I love to be loved I cry the way the babies cry The way they can't deny The way they feel Words, they climb all over you, 'Til they uncover you From where you hide And in this moment, I need to be needed When my self-esteem is sinking, I like to be liked In this emptiness and fear, I wanna be wanted 'Cos I love to be loved, I love to be loved I love to be loved, Oh I love to be loved This old familiar craving I've been here before This way of behaving Don't know who the hell I'm saving any more Let it pass let it go let it leave From the deepest place I grieve This time I believe And I let go, And I let go I can't let go of it Though it takes all the strength in me And all the world can see I'm losing such a central part of me I can't let go of it You know I mean it You know that I mean it I recognize how much I've lost But I cannot face the cost 'Cos I love to be loved Yes I love to be loved I love to be loved Yes I love to be loved I love to be loved Yes I love to be loved I love to be loved I love to be loved I love to be loved Yes I love to be loved |

It was only one hour ago
It was all so different then Nothing yet has really sunk in Looks like it always did This flesh and bone Is just the way that we are tied in But there's no one home I grieve for you And you leave me So hard to move on Still loving what's gone Say life carries on Carries on and on and on and on The news that truly shocks Is the empty, empty page While the final rattle rocks Its empty, empty cage And I can't handle this I grieve for you You leave me Let it out and move on Missing what's gone Say life carries on Say life carries on and on and on Life carries on in the people I meet In everyone that's out on the street In all the dogs and cats In the flies and rats In the rod and the rust In the ashes and the dust Life carries on and on and on and on Life carries on and on and on Life carries on and on and on and on Life carries on and on and on Just the car that we ride in The home we reside in The face that we hide in The way we are tied in As life carries on and on and on and on Life carries on and on and on Did I dream this belief Or did I believe this dream Now I will find relief I grieve |

The streets are lined with camera crews
Everywhere he goes is news Today is different Today is not the same Today I make the action Take snapshot into the light, snapshot into the light I'm shooting into the light Four miles down the cavalcade moves on Driving into the sun If I worked it out right They won't see me or the gun Two miles to go, they're clearing the road The cheering has really begun I've got my radio I can hear what's going on I've been waiting for this I have been waiting for this All you people in TV land I will wake up your empty shells Peak-time viewing blown in a flash As I burn into your memory cells 'Cos I'm alive They're coming 'round the corner with the bikers at the front I'm wiping the sweat from my eyes -It's a matter of time -It's a matter of will And the governor's car is not far behind He's not the one I've got in mind 'Cos there he is-the man of the hour, standing in the limousine "I don't really hate you -I don't care what you do We were made for each other -Me and you I want to be somebody -You were like that too If you don't get given you learn to take And I will take you." Holding my breath Release the catch And I let the bullet fly All turned quiet-I have been here before Lonely boy hiding behind the front door Friends have all gone home There's my toy gun on the floor Come back Mum and Dad You're growing apart You know that I'm growing up sad I need some attention I shoot into the light |

days pass and this emptiness fills my heart when I want to run away I drive off in my car but whichever way I go I come back to the place you are all my instincts, they return and the grand facade, so soon will burn without a noise, without my pride I reach out from the inside in your eyes the light the heat in your eyes I am complete in your eyes I see the doorway to a thousand churches in your eyes the resolution of all the fruitless searches in your eyes I see the light and the heat in your eyes oh, I want to be that complete I want to touch the light the heat I see in your eyes love, I don't like to see so much pain so much wasted and this moment keeps slipping away I get so tired of working so hard for our survival I look to the time with you to keep me awake and alive and all my instincts, they return and the grand facade, so soon will burn without a noise, without my pride I reach out from the inside in your eyes the light the heat in your eyes I am complete in your eyes I see the doorway to a thousand churches in your eyes the resolution of all the fruitless searches in your eyes I see the light and the heat in your eyes oh, I want to be that complete I want to touch the light, the heat I see in your eyes in your eyes in your eyes in your eyes in your eyes in your eyes in your eyes |

moving down the fuselage
toward the open door catch you looking down outside to see what lies ahead one by one you watch them fall fall through cloud one by one you watch them fall no idea where they're going but down where they've gone where they've gone watching as the sun goes down i sit inside this plane notice how the city lights are like the nerves inside the brain one by one they're going out you watch them dim one by one you watch them fall and wonder where they're falling to |

There's a bomb in the basement
There's a knocking on the wall In the popping of the piston, I swear I have no call There's a bomb in the basement There's a hole in the floor There's a guard in the garden, knocking on the door There's a rebel in the south guards No shedding at the sound Then the rackets if he know me, begging on the ground Feel the building all around me Like a rattle on the skin Then the moment your breath kicks in, its always trapped within Tell it like it is, till there's no misunderstanding When you strip it right back Man feed machine, machine feed man Tell it like it is, till there's no misunderstanding Make up what you lack Man feed machine, machine feed man |

People go naked,
and follow these trails, someone before me, lay down these rails, and it's loaded up too heavy, this engine fails, in Lovetown, can't seem to settle down, and do the teeth still match the wounds ? take a good look around, in Lovetown. This is Lovetown. Looking in Lovetown. Sometimes you're troubled waters, on which I pour my oil, in each others shadow, the roots reach into the soil, pull these knots so tightly tied, we cannot uncoil, in Lovetown, no place to settle down, and do the teeth still match the wounds ? take a good look around, Lovetown. This is Lovetown. Looking in Lovetown. Whose lonely lips, will find these hidden scars ? Who's seen the kisses, left in dim lit bars ? Who's out on the streets, looking for love like ours ? Whose looking in lovetown Tonight ? Have you got what you want ? Did you get what you need ? With what you did, and what you saw, Did you find, you needed more ? Have you got what you came for ? Are you really sure ? Are you really sure ? Living in Lovetown, Lovetown |

Father, son Locked as one In this empty room Spine against spine Yours against mine Till the warmth comes through Remember the breakwaters down by the waves I first found my courage Knowing daddy could save I could hold back the tide With my dad by my side Dogs, plows and bows We move through each pose Struggling in our separate ways Mantras and hymns Unfolding limbs Looking for release through the pain And the yogi's eyes are open Looking up above He too is dreaming of his daddy's love With his dad by his side Got his dad by his side Can you recall How you took me to school We couldn't talk much at all It's been so many years And now these tears Guess I'm still your child Out on the moors We take a pause See how far we have come You're moving quite slow How far can we go Father and son With my dad by my side With my dad by my side Got my dad by my side With me |

you know the way that things go
when what you fight for starts to fall and in that fuzzy picture he writing stands out on the wall so clearly on the wall send out the signals deep and loud and in this place, can you reassure me with a touch, a smile - while the cradle's burning all the while the world is turning to noise oh the more that it's surrounding us the more that it destroys turn up the signal wipe out the noise send out the signals deep and loud man i'm losing sound and sight of all those who can tell me wrong from right when all things beautiful and bright sink in the night yet there's still something in my heart that can find a way to make a start to turn up the signal wipe out the noise wipe out the noise wipe out the noise you know that's it you know that's it receive and transmit receive and transmit receive and transmit you know that's it you know that's it receive and transmit you know that's it you know that's it receive and transmit |

I looked up at the tallest building
Felt it falling down I could feel my balance shifting Everything was moving around These streets so fixed and solid Ah shimmering haze And everything that I relied on disappeared Downside up, upside down Take my weight from the ground Falling deep in the sky Slipping in the unknown All the strangers look like family All the family looks so strange The only constant I am sure of Is this accelerating rate of change Downside up, upside down Take my weight off the ground Falling deep in the sky Slipping in the unknown I stand here Watch you spinning Until I am drawn in A centripetal force You pull me in Pull me in Pull me in Pull me in Pull me in Pull me in ovo ovo ovo ovo ovo ovo ovo ovo ovo ovo ovo ovo ovo ovo ovo ovo ovo ovo Downside up Upside down Take my weight off the ground Falling deep in the sky Slipping into the unknown |
