> We were young, we were brave, we were true, we were strong
Far away the bombs an' the buildings explodin' there was no way out It was black, it was white, we had so much to say Right or wrong... The truth won't fade away We had our hopes, we had our dreams, we were young, we were old We saw our future self-destructing: there were roles that we played Some were good, some were bad: there was so much to say Right or wrong... The truth won't fade away |

Zika nor nama ... hesah! Through this hourglass Sands are running fast In deserted plains Kingdoms write their names On these burning sands Kingdoms show their hands In these killing fields Soldiers show their steel The men who play the gods of war They stay behind the guarded door And hostages who seek release They're crying out to keep the peace Holding on... holding on One day we will be free, one day if we're strong Holding on... holding on Through the shadows cast to a brighter day In these fields of stone Far away from home In this vale of tears The men who play the gods of war They stay behind the guarded door Religious leaders teachin' hate Praise the war and call it fate |

I'm a dog in a manger
A cat with a mouse I'm the prodigal stranger I'll burn down the house I'm a self-educator A collector of news I'm the cool liberator Any topic you choose I'm a man with a mission I'm a shooting star I've got no inhibitions I don't care who you are Got my eye on the future And my hand on the pulse There's a whole world of people In the back of the bus There's a man on a tightrope Who's got nothing to share Just a whole lot of secrets And a head full of air I'm a man with a mission I'm a shooting star I've got no inhibitions I don't care who you are It's the Tropic of Cancer The meaning of soul There's a change in the weather To have and to hold The method of access A handful of dust It's just par for the course, boy Get back on the bus I'm a man with a mission I'm a shooting star I've got no inhibitions I don't care who you are |

One more time Let's remember how good it felt One more time Remember what we meant One more time Can't help wondering where it went One more time Just one more time I wonder if you finished Workin' on that book Maybe I could come 'round sometime 'n take a look A friend of mine told me That you've changed your hair They say you're really different now I remember how you were I've still got your picture I'm sure you know We had something special Where did it go? One more time Let's remember how good it felt One more time Remember what we meant One more time Can't help wondering where it went One more time Just one more time |

Remember when you felt it first?
The bitter taste of love The hand that reached inside your purse The fist inside the glove Remember how it felt to be The only one who cared You peeked behind the open door The bride is always bared You always knew this day would come You lie in bed alone The TV flickers silently A dream in every home (early mixes exist in which Gary sings 'A dream without a home') Remember when you felt it first? When you played kiss and tell The moment that the arrow pierced The pearl inside the shell Remember how good it felt to be? To really come alive You peeked behind the open door The secrets of the hive |

When you're out in the dark Nothing to believe in And you can't find a way back home There's a man with a secret There's a visionary sister Who knows what's right or wrong? Little by little I turn to the light And one day I'll be satisfied Like the hand that rocks the cradle I gotta be gentle and strong The hand that rocks the cradle Gonna be the lucky one When the wind blows cold And you lose your resistance Slipping down on the darkest side You can push too hard You can run too fast Don't get lost in the looking glass Little by little the wheel turns around And one day I'll be satisfied Like the hand that rocks the cradle I gotta be gentle and strong The hand that rocks the cradle Gonna be the lucky one |

There was trouble in the air Just a subtle hint of danger And a woman dressed in black Out lookin' for a stranger Well she took me to her room Where she offered me a wager She promised me the moon So I took a chance Yes I played the king of hearts Put my cards out on the table I thought the odds were in my favour But she laid the ace of spades An' I wound up where I started The king of hearts no more But the king of the broken-hearted She cut the deck one more By the light of thirteen candles She said, "the winner takes it all -- Is that too much for you to handle? So I wandered through my playing cards And tried to understand her I was lookin' for a face It was right there in my hand Yes I played the king of hearts Put my cards out on the table I thought the odds were in my favour But she laid the ace of spades An' I wound up where I started The king of hearts no more But the king of the broken-hearted |

Rings upon your fingers Bells upon your toes Ev'ry day's a game of chance Ev'ry body knows In the king's apartment Heavy lies the crown There must be a thousand ways To bring that castle down Wave the mighty dollar Make us live again Lead and we will follow Faithful to the end Wave the mighty dollar Pave the streets with gold Lead us by the collar All our dreams are sold Rings upon your finger Stardust in your hair Jumping through that wall of fire All for the market share In the king's apartment Desperate human greed Try to find a diff'rent way Satisfy that need Wave the mighty dollar Make us live again Lead and we will follow Faithful to the end Wave the mighty dollar Pave the streets with gold Lead us by the collar All our dreams are sold |

Rings around the crescent moon Passions rise from basement rooms Fountains play and worlds collide We gently swing and sway from side to side Dancers in perpetual motion Slip an' sliding across the floor Ships our on a moonlit ocean Sailin' t'ward a distant shore Star-crossed lovers they spoon and swim The laughing gods they just reel them in Hostages they're tempting fate See them wait down on the line to take the bait Dancers in perpetual motion Slip an' sliding across the floor Ships our on a moonlit ocean Sailin' t'ward a distant shore The simple stuff we build our dreams upon Waxing, waning, now it's almost gone Passion plays the sweetest tune These velvet days are gone far too soon Dancers in perpetual motion Slip an' sliding across the floor Ships our on a moonlit ocean Sailin' t'ward a distant shore We spend our nights on silken sheets We play for gold but not for keeps Dancers in perpetual motion Slip an' sliding across the floor Ships our on a moonlit ocean Sailin' t'ward a distant shore |

You and me got a chance to make things right
The writing... The writing's on the wall You and me got a chance to turn things 'round We got no time... The future's slipping Through our hands Learn to fly Where eagles only dare to try We're on the wing We dare to win We see the future and we're gonna make it Learn to live You know you got so much to give It's in the air It's everywhere We got a vision and we're gonna claim it You and me we can't turn back at all The die is cast... (You know) the deal is done You and me we knew this day would come And now it's here... the journey's just begun Learn to fly Where eagles only dare to try We're on the wing We dare to win We see the future and we're gonna make it Learn to live You know you got so much to give It's in the air It's everywhere We got a vision and we're gonna claim it |

One into one won't go Two out of three don't know Time and tide in man's affairs Trouble always comes in pairs Wonder where the picture went? What we got ain't worth a cent What we got ain't worth a damn Someone's screwed the master plan The pursuit of happiness It's a common goal The pursuit of happiness Doing what we're told The pursuit of happiness To the very end It goes 'round and 'round and 'round and 'round again Bite the bullet in the dust Got to take their word on thrust No use counting down your prayers All god's children running scared No use howling at the moon Planet earth is going soon Starving children stand on line Living now on borrowed time The pursuit of happiness It's a common goal The pursuit of happiness Doing what we're told The pursuit of happiness To the very end It goes 'round and 'round and 'round and 'round again |
