With every waking breath I breathe
I see what life has dealt to me With every sadness I deny I feel a chance inside me die Give me a taste of something new To touch to hold to pull me through Send me a guiding light that shines Across this darkened life of mine Breathe some soul in me Breathe your gift of love to me Breathe life to lay 'fore me Breathe to make me breathe For every man who built a home A paper promise for his own He fights against an open flow Of lies and failures, we all know To those who have and who have not How can you live with what you've got? Give me a touch of something sure I could be happy evermore Breathe some soul in me Breathe your gift of love to me Breathe life to lay 'fore me To see to make me breathe Breathe your honesty Breathe your innocence to me Breathe your word and set me free Breathe to make me breathe This life prepares the strangest things The dreams we dream of what life brings The highest highs can turn around To sow love's seeds on stony ground Breathe Breathe Breathe some soul in me Breathe your gift of love to me Breathe life to lay 'fore me To see to make me breathe Breathe your honesty Breathe your innocence to me Breathe your word and set me free Breathe to make me breathe |

How can we ever be free again?
After all the shouting and crying Trying to hurt one another for nothing Things will be better again Baby's in red, broken and bled By the flames that rule her fields of fire Baby's in blue, broken in two May the rains run through her fields of fire, her fields of fire Now that the skies have gone clear again And we try to talk it through, peace of mind One day at a time we're praying Things will be better again Baby's in red, broken and bled By the flames that rule her fields of fire Baby's in blue, broken in two May the rains run through her fields of fire, her fields of fire Something is hurting way deep down inside Showing the scars of the ghosts that are hiding Stay in my arms Things will be better again Baby's in red, broken and bled By the flames that rule her fields of fire Baby's in blue, broken in two May the rains run through her fields of fire Baby's in red, broken and bled By the flames that rule her fields of fire Baby's in blue, broken in two May the rains run through her fields of fire Baby's in blue, what shall she do? May the rains run through her fields of fire, her fields of fire |

Hush with your talk now, nothing to say 'bout what life has done to you
Cradle your young head safe in my bed, and I will help pull you through Listen to every word I say to you, and then you'll know it's true When you look inside love can turn you onto anything you want to Take me home, my fallen angel I will make you shine, I can soothe your soul Open your eyes to all the wonderful days waiting there for you Listen to every word I say to you, and then you'll know it's true When you look inside love can turn you on to anything you want to Take me home, my fallen angel (my fallen angel) I will make you shine, I can soothe your soul Take me home, my fallen angel Take me home, my fallen angel (my fallen angel) I will make you shine, I can soothe your soul So take me home, my fallen angel (my fallen angel) I will make you shine, I can soothe your soul (soothe your soul) Take me home, oh, fallen angel My fallen angel, oh |

As I walked the busy, empty streets
With the weight of the world on my shoulder An ancient voice screamed in my head Saying, run, boy, run I waited for the inspiration Waited for forever, or so it seemed I made my mind up and started there and then To run, boy, run I'm free, I'm free I took my life, and I walked away, oh, oh I'm free, I'm free I packed my life, and I walked away, oh, oh, oh I left the dust of a million dreams Lying dead by the side of the road I felt the breath of a brand new day Make me run, boy, run I'm free, I'm free I took my life, and I walked away, oh, oh I'm free, I'm free I packed my past, and I walked away, oh, oh, oh And I walked away, left the world behind I just walked away I just walked away I'm free, I'm free I packed my bags, and I walked away, oh, oh, oh I'm free, I'm free, I'm free I packed my bags, and I walked away, oh, oh, oh |

From this position
I will relax From this position I can see the whole place From this position Oh, just relax From this position I make some stand I make my peace with the man And it goes pow, pow, pow, pow, pow, pow, pow, pow, pow It goes pow, pow, pow, pow, pow, pow, pow, pow, pow From this position I can see both of them From this position I totally get how the decision was reached From this position I can say "serious" or "cop-out" or "hard to define" From this position, from this position It's kind of like eating myself to death You on the outside Me on the inside There's advantage to both And me being uptight And you being all right There's advantages to each From this perspective, from this position I have a good grip on both of them Because I have stayed home and have learned a little more about my neighbourhood, which is important You know, there's a lot of good places to eat So it goes pow, pow, pow, pow, pow, pow, pow, pow, pow Pow, pow, pow, pow, pow, pow, pow, pow, pow So it's pow, pow, pow, pow, pow, pow, pow, pow, pow It goes pow, pow, pow, pow, pow, pow, pow, pow, pow With you on the keystroke And me in the gang blank There's advantages to both And you have been all right And I have been filmed being ridiculous Oh, eat it, Michael Musto You're no Bruce Valance I have been untied And you are all cross-eyed There's advantages to each And I'm coming back, coming back, coming back Until there's nothing left in the well Is that what they call it, the well? I'm paralyzed and looking through you But if nothing's right, we try anyway As we compromised an arrogant person I'm amazed at my decision to blame On this occasion, there are a couple of things that we know that we learned from fact magazine One, the king wears a king hat and lives in a king house Two, your time will come, but tonight is our night, so you should give us all of your drugs Three, we have a black president and you do not, so shut up, because you don't know shit about where I'm from that you didn't get from your TV So times have been tough, and times have been tough You have been put down, washed up, erased out But honestly, and be honest with yourself, how much time do you waste? How much time do you blow every day? So pow, pow, pow, pow, pow, pow, pow, pow, pow Oh, pow, pow, pow, pow, pow, pow, pow, pow, pow So pow, pow, pow, pow, pow, pow, pow, pow, pow Pow, pow, pow, pow, pow, pow, pow, pow, pow The return of the police With you on the inside Me on the outside There's advantages to both With me being wired And you being tired There's advantages to each From this position, I feel affinity for the both of them, which is confusing But honestly, I should be careful because otherwise, I'm being, I'm being, you know, what's it called? Oh, fuck it Reclining, I'm getting used to it Like kissing under a bridge It's an entirely new discovery, discovery, discovery, discovery, discovery, discovery, discovery, discovery A couple of weeks at home And then a couple of weeks away And then home and away, again To use up your desire for discovery, discovery, discovery, discovery, discovery, discovery, discovery For an instant, you could have pushed through But it's a plagiarized regret anyway But what you want for now is someone to feel you And that's the thing you like, is planning to stay The return of the police! |

Falling from an open sky
Fallen from the grace you gave so free Who would want to cradle me? Lying through my truest eyes Lying here beside my dark desires There's something I don't understand You want me, you'll find me Open for trust, trusted for love Relying on faith, but faith's not enough How long must I walk this trail of tears? Moving what's before me Nothing can disguise the things you see Who would want to lay with me? And after all the tears fall And after all the dreams have gone away There's one thing I don't understand You want me, you'll find me Open for trust, trusted for love Relying on faith, but faith's not enough How long must I walk this trail of tears? Open for trust, trusted for love Relying on faith, but faith's not enough No, faith's not enough You want me You want me, you'll find me (Open for trust, trusted for love) (Relying on faith, but faith's not enough) How long must I walk this trail of tears?

When you hold your hands out, may your good Lord show a sign
And when you seek forgiveness, may your good Lord take the time May your good Lord talk to mine When you light a candle, may your good Lord see it glow Shining through the darkness, may your good Lord make it grow To case alight across the land from killing fields to desert sands From distant shores to where I stand, will your good Lord make it so? And after all I think and do, I can't believe that this is true If I cry out 'treason', will your good Lord make them pray? All these men of reason, leading nowhere, lost their way Turning riches in to rags, turning rags into the street Turn the streets into a hell, may your good Lord have his day And after all is said and done, I can't believe our gods are one Turning riches into rags, turning rags into the street Turn the streets into a hell, may your good Lord have his day What would it take to take a hold? A sheperd searching for a fold The greatest story ever told Somebody's lying If I believed in something, would your good Lord make it true? Give me the sword of justice, show me the hate to put it through Cut down the bitter tears, the sleepless nights, the waking fears The empty words, the silent ears, would your good Lord love me too? |

And the Moon looks so sad No tears tonight It's the best we've ever had And the air's filled with voices And loudspeaker calls And we just waltz As we're waiting For the Maker For the Maker And in the far distant sky Rose a black, evil cloud Come to feed on the lives Of the fools who allowed Stupid men fight their wars With empty words in hallowed halls And leave us waltz As we waited For the Maker For the Maker 'Round and around and around and around For the Maker For the Maker For the Maker For the Maker For the Maker |

High upon a hillside
A preacher tells a story to a crowd He tells the same old story A thousand times he's read that story loud He wants to get the answers But his words are only Answers to nothing Lying in my bedroom A man comes on my TV. with a grin He tells me to believe him He said that I should put my faith in him Says he has the answers But his words are only Answers to nothing Believed for the last time Deceived for the last time They're the chosen leaders Who say we can't stay sitting on the fence They leave us stuff They're buying guns and bombs For our defense The think this is the answer But their thoughts are only Answers to nothing Where is all the friend ship? How can all the comradeship be done? What of all the teachings? What of things we learned when we where young? It doesn't bear the asking 'cause the answer's given where Answers to nothing Lied for the last time Died for the last time Cried for the last time The last time Believed for the last time Deceived for the last time Believed for the last time This time High upon a hillside A preacher tells a story to a crowd He tells the same old story A thousand times he's read that story loud He wants to get the answers But his words are only Answers to nothing Lying in my bedroom A man comes on my TV. with a grin He tells me to believe him He said that I should put my faith in him Said he has the answers But his words are only Answers to nothing Lied for the last time Cried for the last time Died for the last time Deceived for the last time Believed for the last time This time |

Just for you I could walk the oceans I would cross all divides To satisfy your whims and notions For you I could change Just for you I could beat the system I could take every blow Survive upon a poor man's wisdom And if you want I'd chase the world away And when you cry I'd kiss the tears away Just for you I would cry Just for you I would fall down to my knees And pray that I Could raise a love that's fit to please you And if you're lonely I will be with you If you're in doubt I'll tell you what to do I'll take your hand and I will lead you through I'd give my very soul to be with you And when infatuation fades I will still be by your side I will be there when you call There's not one thing I wouldn't do That I couldn't do at all That I wouldn't do at all Just for you I would change Just for you I would break the system I would take every blow Survive upon a poor man's wisdom |

Throws aside what others need to survive Then maybe I could justify what I'm seeing I can't quite accept that we who have so much watch others die Who designed this world we live in? Hand giving a hand Giving the world a helping hand It's falling around us now If I could understand why one man Lifts his hand to strike another down Then maybe I'd believe the reasons that I'm given I'd like to think it's just a few who make the rest of us comply Who designed this world we live in? Help turn round this hell to heaven Hand giving a hand Giving the world a helping hand It's falling around us now Help turn round this hell to heaven Help turn round this hell to heaven Who designed this world we live in?

You lied From your head down to your toes I know you lied But somehow I know I'll survive And I can't believe another word you say So go your way You lied Every little word you said You whispered lies And right now I know I despise Every thing I find that came from you 'Cause I hurt too You lied |

You'd think by this time You'd be gone from my mind But it isn't so Sometimes I hear your voice ringing clear on the radio Hearing you tell words that I knew so well Not so long ago And though it's changed for us all I know you will always be near And though you watch from afar I know where you are You walk the homeland I remember that night Of that year when the tears wouldn't clear my eyes I'd seen it before Like a dream I'd ignore It was no surprise I tried to pretend that the madness would end and you'd realise That all that was left was the whisper of death and your children's cries And though it's changed for us all I know you will always be near And though you watch from afar I know where you are You walk the homeland You slipped away like snow in a warm hand You welcomed that warm hand You made it too easy |

Common people living quietly in confusion
Information's giving quite a grand illusion Hearts are beating, keeping time to meet a deadline Faces pressed against the pane to watch a headline When the winds blow I will call When the winds blow I will call When the winds blow I will call you We will stand and watch them fall All our ships are sailing blindly under one sun Sending signals, calling kindly, reaching no-one Echoes sound the shifting air of empires calling Hold my hand, the shifting sand of empires falling When the winds blow I will call When the winds blow I will call When the winds blow I will call you We will stand and watch them fall Oh, we'll stand and watch them fall We confided, then decided not to follow All the slogans, taunts and charges, sound so hollow With open minds across the border, we have waited But keeping place within this race is complicated When the winds blow I will call When the winds blow I will call When the winds blow I will call you We will stand and watch them When the winds blow I will call When the winds blow I will call When the winds blow I will call you We will stand and watch them fall Oh, we'll stand and watch them fall |

From city streets you came with something true
From dirt and smoke you breathed in something new And when you laid all before you, they took what you made And threw it away, the gift that you gave With hands of gold and images strong You cast the shape of things to cling on And when you tried to show them, they took what you made And gave it away, the gift that you gave And in return, I give you honest love These things I see around me I see with my soul, I feel in my heart The gift that you gave and in return I give you my respect That's all that's mine for giving, I've learned from it all The textures and form, the gift that you gave And when they ask what prize I treasure most What legacy I cherish, I say from the heart The passion and art, that's the gift that you gave |

The boy is listening to those records from the past
He wants to make them last For they make him feel alive They are the voices of the faces on the wall He listens to them all Hangs on every little tale they tell Knows them all and their life stories Shares their pain and shares their glories One day he even cut their names upon his skin They mean that much to him For them he'd take the test His bedroom window opens to the evening air The fox is in his lair The volume of his system is full on But the neighbors moan and the parents call This angry noise is the muzak of the wastelands Wastelands, the wastelands, wastelands The boy is dressing in the fashion of the day The kids all dress that way, you can tell them anywhere The boy looks out and sees his friends are waiting there In the cold electric glare Of those lamps that make you think that night is day They drag their lusts into your sight With shouts and screams they meet the night They block your way in twos and fours In uniforms from city stores They're closing in, who knows the score It won't be long before A martyr's blood is nourishing the wastelands Wastelands, yes, it won't be long before A martyr's blood is nourishing the wastelands Wastelands, the wastelands Wastelands, oh, wastelands Wastelands, yes, it won't be long before A martyr's blood is nourishing the wastelands A martyr's blood is nourishing the wastelands Wastelands, oh, wastelands |

The tears that fell were from Asian ways She cried The tears that fell were from Asian ways She promised to a stranger, arranger kisses She, torn between her heart and the others' wishes Try to please them, try to reason She cried The tears that fell were from Asian ways She cried The tears that fell were from Asian ways She tries to understand what her father preaches She wants to live the life that her new world teaches Try to tell them what she felt then She cried The tears that fell were from Asian ways She cried The tears that fell were from Asian ways Try to tell them what she felt then She cried The tears that fell were from Asian ways She cried The tears that fell were from Asian ways She cried The tears that fell were from Asian ways She cried The tears that fell were from Asian ways She cried The tears that fell were from Asian ways She cried The tears that fell were from Asian ways |

From city streets you came with something true
From dirt and smoke you breathed in something new And when you laid all before you, they took what you made And threw it away, the gift that you gave With hands of gold and images strong You cast the shape of things to cling on And when you tried to show them, they took what you made And gave it away, the gift that you gave And in return, I give you honest love These things I see around me I see with my soul, I feel in my heart The gift that you gave and in return I give you my respect That's all that's mine for giving, I've learned from it all The textures and form, the gift that you gave And when they ask what prize I treasure most What legacy I cherish, I say from the heart The passion and art, that's the gift that you gave |

We passed upon the stair
We spoke of was and when Although I wasn't there He said I was his friend Which came as some surprise I spoke into his eyes I thought you died alone A long long time ago Oh no, not me I never lost control You're face to face With the man who sold the world I laughed and shook his hand, And made my way back home I searched for form and land For years and years I roamed I gazed a gazely stare And all the millions here We must have died alone A long long time ago Who knows? not me We never lost control You're face to face With the man who sold the world |

Reflections, of the river passing by Reflections, of the place between the sky It's too black, casting shadows On the bridges built so close to that aura Walking (to the sign) before my eyes Dreaming (it's too late) to realise Stop! You've gone too far this time You're toying with reality Blocks on blocks are all around Neon lit for silent sound Figures (in a doorway) in the night Dancing (moving shadows) with the light Talking to a stranger On the bridges built so close to that aura Standing, on a runway all alone Listening, to an engine heading home Crying, on the inside Wishing I could get away from that aura Lying, on the runway all alone Listening to an engine heading home Stop! you've gone too far this time You're toying with reality |

One man on a lonely platform One case sitting by his side Two eyes sitting cold and silent Shows fear as he turns to hide (Ah, ah, we fade to grey) (Ah, ah, we fade to grey) (Ah, ah, we fade to grey) (Ah, ah, we fade to grey) Feel the rain like an English summer Hear the notes from a distant song Looking out from a backdrop poster Wishing life wouldn't be so dull (Ah, ah, we fade to grey) (Ah, ah, we fade to grey) (Ah, ah, we fade to grey) (Ah, ah, we fade to grey) |

A puppets motions are controlled by a string By a stranger they've never met Nod of the head at a pull of a thread I just can't say no, can't say no When a child throws down a toy Dolly for girl, drum for boy When I was new you wanted me Now I'm old you no longer see The paint on my face is chipped and cracked My clothes seems to be getting old Now you've owned me for a few years Please don't leave me in the cold You make me glad, you make me sad You lock me away when I'm bad Now you've owned me for a few years Please don't leave me in the cold, in the cold When a child throws down a toy Spite for girl, hate for boy When a child throws down a toy I look at you with eyes of blue But somehow I can't get through to you |

Name the place, for a rendez-vous Name the time, and I'll get to you Take a train, take a motorway And take a plane, take it any day And take a drink, as you leave the ground Time to think, hearing headphone sound Close your eyes, you're drifting far away Realise, that you'll be home today Visa-age I know the place I can't forget I'll go direct Leave the trash, of your life behind It's time to move, shake those ties that bind Letting go, all that's old and blue You've gotta know, just where you're going to So take a chance, and take a case in hand We find romance, it's a far off land Close your eyes, you're drifting far away And realise, you could be there today Visa-age A different time Another place Destinations I know you from somewhere I know we've met Visa-age A different town Another place These destinations So faint in the distance A speck on the map A stamp on my passport No time to look back |

The message
In a faded envelope In a vice-like grip The passage Of a carriage in the dark On a foreign trip (again) The image Of a figure in the trees In the evening rain The knowledge Of a stranger in your midst On a speeding train (again) Night train He senses Perfume lingers in the night Smell of French cologne He watches As a hand turns down the light Leaves him all alone (again) He whispers In a dim lit empty room But it's all in vain He laughs When he reads the note he finds On the midnight train (again) Night train Journey on the night train |

The siren screams to start the day
You get up early to earn your pay Push the button throw that switch Turbines roar their unholy pitch I listen I can hear Pounding like thunder Pistons push the steel on steel Steam filled air turns the wheel The wheel in turn takes the strain Pounds the beat again and again [Chorus:] Metal on metal The feeling of steel Someone is driving But you've got the wheel The workers sing the same old song Machines in motion they're never wrong You think in time you will be free But a factory man is what you'll be I listen I can hear Pounding like thunder Pistons push the steel on steel Steam filled air turns the wheel The wheel in turn takes the strain Pounds the beat again and again [Chorus] Angry young men look to the west Speak for yourself you'll pass the test Fortune beholds the brave so they say Questions unanswered the risk they might pay I listen I can hear Pounding like thunder [Chorus] Fade |

In the year of 2525
If man is still alive If woman can survive They may find In the year of 3535 Can't tell the truth, can't tell no lie Everything you think, do and say Is in the pill you took today In the year of 4545 Won't need no teeth, won't need your eyes Won't find a thing to do Nobody's gonna look at you In the year of 5555 Your arms are hanging limp at your side Your legs have nothing to do Some machines doin' that for you In the year of 6565 Won't need no husband, won't need no wife You'll pick your sons, pick your daughters too From the bottom of a long glass tube woo In the year of 7510 If God is comin' he should make it by then Maybe he'll look around and say: "Now it's time for the judgement day!" In the year of 8510 God is gonna shake his mighty hand He'll leave a salient place where man has been Or tear it down and start again wouwo In the year of 9595 I'm wondering if man is gonna be alive He's taken everything earth had to give And he's put back nothing woo Now it's been ten thousand years man has cried a million tears For what he never knew now man's dream is through But through eternal light the twinklin' of starlight So very far away now it's night to yesterday |

One handful of rags to remind me
I've come so far To be a stranger In a stranger's land My life, my loves are all behind me Don't be surprised If you only see me cry 'Till I go home Eyes full of dust, A heart full of nothing A family gone Being here a living life Was our only sin Just pawns in a game Cast out to the fuor winds Don't be surprised At the distrust in my eyes 'Till I go home Don't be surprised At the distrust in my eyes 'Til I go home And now what will I do If I see my babies Will they recognise Unconditional love in their father's eyes ? What foreign tongue will form their phrases ? Don't be surprised If this heart inside me dies Before I go home |

Somebody
Somebody to lay your head on I've been around the world To look for love from many souls But at the wrong time Searching for these vague elusive things To keep and save To ease my sad, sad mind And I can belong I can be anything I need If only I had known I'd face this world alone CHORUS : Somebody Somebody to lay your head on Somebody Somebody to lay your head on Lying with my face away From every pressure Every day you'll find me Clinging tightly to the stronger thoughts The clearer picture Friendly spots around me And I could be loved And I could be happy If only I had known I'd take these steps alone CHORUS If there's life beyond the daily grind A vision for a broken mind Can't find it Fall from heaven, fall from grace Come shelter in my barren place Re-find it A search for beauty Search for friendship Search for meaning in it all If only I had known I'd walk this world alone CHORUS (till fade) |

It's Christmastime, there's no need to be afraid
At Christmastime, we let in light and we banish shade And in our world of plenty we can spread a smile of joy Throw your arms around the world at Christmastime But say a prayer, Pray for the other ones At Christmastime it's hard, but when you're having fun There's a world outside your window And it's a world of dread and fear Where the only water flowing Is the bitter sting of tears And the Christmas bells that ring there are the clanging chimes of doom Well tonight thank God it's them instead of you And there won't be snow in Africa this Christmastime The greatest gift they'll get this year is life Where nothing ever grows No rain nor rivers flow Do they know it's Christmastime at all? Here's to you Raise a glass for everyone Spare a thought this yuletide for the deprived If the table was turned would you survive Here's to them Underneath that burning sun You ain't gotta feel guilt just selfless Give a little help to the helpless Do they know it's Christmastime at all? Feed the world Feed the world Feed the world Feed the world Feed the world Let them know it's Christmastime again Feed the world Feed the world |

I see what life has dealt to me With every sadness I deny I feel a chance inside me die Give me a taste of something new To touch to hold to pull me through Send me a guiding light that shines Across this darkened life of mine Breathe some soul in me Breathe your gift of love to me Breathe life to lay 'fore me Breathe to make me breathe For every man who built a home A paper promise for his own He fights against an open flow Of lies and failures, we all know To those who have and who have not How can you live with what you've got? Give me a touch of something sure I could be happy evermore Breathe some soul in me Breathe your gift of love to me Breathe life to lay 'fore me To see to make me breathe Breathe your honesty Breathe your innocence to me Breathe your word and set me free Breathe to make me breathe This life prepares the strangest things The dreams we dream of what life brings The highest highs can turn around To sow love's seeds on stony ground Breathe Breathe Breathe some soul in me Breathe your gift of love to me Breathe life to lay 'fore me To see to make me breathe Breathe your honesty Breathe your innocence to me Breathe your word and set me free Breathe to make me breathe |

I know you leave, it's too long overdue
For far too long I've had nothin' new to show to you Goodbye dry eyes, I watched your plane fade off west of the moon And it felt so strange to walk away alone There's no regrets, no tears goodbye I don't want you back, we'd only cry again Say goodbye again The hours that were yours echo like empty rooms The thoughts we used to share I now keep alone I woke last night and spoke to you not thinking you were gone And it felt so strange to lie awake alone There's no regrets, no tears, goodbye I don't want you back, we'd only cry again Say goodbye again Our friends are trying to turn my nights to day Strange faces on your place can't keep the ghost away Now just beyond the darkest hour and just behind the dawn It still feels so strange to lead my life alone There's no regrets, no tears, goodbye I don't want you back, we'd only cry again Say goodbye again There's no regrets, no tears, goodbye I don't want you back, we'd only cry again Say goodbye again |
