When you look at the world
What is it that you see
People find all kinds of things
That bring them to their knees

I see an expression
So clear and so true
That changes the atmosphere
When you walk to the room

So I try to be like you
Try to feel it like you do
But without you its no use
I cant see what you see
When I look at the world

When the night is someone elses
And youre trying to get some sleep
When your thoughts are too expensive
To ever want to keep

When theres all kinds of chaos
And everyone is walking lame
You dont even blink now do you
Dont even look away

So I try to be like you
Try to feel it like you do
But without you its no use
I cant see what you see
When I look at the world

I cant wait any longer
I cant wait til Im stronger
Cant wait any longer
To see what you see
When I look at the world

Im in the waiting room
I cant see for the smoke
I think of you and your holy book
When the rest of us choke

Tell me tell me
What do you see
Tell me tell me
Whats wrong with me

I see youre dressed to kill
I know I cant wait until
Hallelujah...here she comes

I see youre dressed in black
I guess Im not coming back
Hallelujah...here she comes

Born and raised
On the wrong side of town
You get so high
That you cant come down
(yeah)

I see the road is rough
You know Im not giving up
Hallelujah...here she comes

I know where the lady goes
I know she got a ring on her toes
Hallelujah...here she comes

Born and raised
On the wrong side of town
You get so high
That you cant come down

Im going higher, higher, higher
Higher, higher, higher
Higher, higher, higher
Higher, higher, higher
Im gonna be there
When that lights gonna shine
Im gonna be there
When her heart kindles next to mine
Im gonna be...
Here she comes
Yeah here she comes

I see youre dressed to kill
I know I cant wait until
Hallelujah...here she comes

I see youre dressed in black
I guess Im not coming back
Hallelujah...here she comes

Born and raised
In the wrong side of town
You get so high
You cant come down

Im gonna be there
Higher, higher, higher
Gonna get higher, higher, higher
Gonna get higher, higher, higher
Higher, higher, higher...

Im gonna be there
When that lights gonna shine
Im gonna be there
When that lights gonna shine...

Hallelujah...here she comes
Here she comes...

(yeah)


I...
I'm a humble guy
No, really i try
You know it's hard sometimes


You...
Yeah, you're messed up too
My brother's gonna get through
Working my way to get to you


Come on, come on
Come on, come on
Be good to me


Come on, come on
Come on, come on
Be good to me


Here it comes
Here it comes
Holy joe


Please...
Don't make me say please
Champagne and ice cream
It's not what i want, it's what i need


Devotion
And a little appreciation
Little heavy rotation
Looks good on me


(having the best time of anybody's life)
(closer than ever to everybody's wife)


Come on, come on
Come on, come on
Be good to me


Come on, come on
Come on, come on
Be good to me


Here it comes
Here it comes
Holy joe


(having the best time of anybody's life)
(closer than ever to everybody's wife)


Come on, come on
Come on, come on
Be good to me


Come on, come on
Come on, come on
Be good to me


Come on, come on
Come on, come on, come on
Be good to me


Come on, come on
Come on, come on
Be good to me


Here it comes
Here it comes
Holy joe


Here it comes
Here it comes
Holy joe


Here it comes
Here it comes
Holy joe

Singing this song makes me angry.
Im not angry with you.
Is that all?
Is that all?

Sing me a song that makes me happy.
Im happy with you.
Singing this song makes me pale.
Is that all?
Is that all?

Dont believe what you hear
Dont believe what you see
If you just close your eyes
You can feel the enemy

When I first met you girl
You had fire in your soul
What happened your face
Of melting in snow?
Now it looks like this!

And you can swallow
Or you can spit
You can throw it up
Or choke on it
And you can dream
So dream out loud
You know that your time is coming round
...dont let the bastards grind you down

No nothing makes sense
Nothing seems to fit
I know youd hit out
If you only knew who to hit

And Id join the movement
If there was one I could believe in
Yeah Id break bread and wine
If there was a church I could receive in
cos I need it now

To take a cup
To fill it up
To drink it slow
I cant let you go

And I must be
An acrobat
To talk like this
And act like that
And you can dream
So dream out loud
...dont let the bastards grind you down

What are we doing to do now its all been said?
No new ideas in the house, and every book has been read

And I must be
An acrobat
To talk like this
And act like that
And you can dream
So dream out loud
And you can find
Your own way out
You can build
And I can will
And you can call
I cant wait until
You can stash
And you can seize
In dreams begin
Responsibilities
And I can love
And I can love
I know that the tide is turning round
...dont let the bastards grind you down

Where do we go from here
Where do we go from here

Chanting has yet to be transcribed/translated

(yeah)

Lover, Im on the street
Gonna go where the bright lights
And the big city meet
With a red guitar...on fire
Desire

Shes a candle burning in my room
Yeah Im like the needle, needle and spoon
Over the counter with a shotgun
Pretty soon everybody got one
And the fever when Im beside her
Desire, desire...

And the fever...getting higher
Desire, desire...burning, burning

Shes the dollars
Shes my protection
Yeah shes a promise
In the year of election
Oh sister, I cant let you go
Like a preacher stealing hearts
At a traveling show
For love or money money money
Money money money money money
Money money money
And the fever, getting higher
Desire, desire, desire, desire
Desire, desire

Like a song I have to sing
I sing it for you.
Like the worlds I have to bring
I bring them to you.
And in leather
lace or chains
We stake our claim
Revolution once again.
But I won't
I won't wear it on my sleeve.
I can see through this expression
And you know I don't believe.
I'm too old to be told
Exactly who are you ?
Tonight
tomorrow's too late.
And we love to wear a badge
a uniform
And we love to fly a flag.
But I won't let others live in hell
As we divide against each other
Andfight amongst ourselves.
Too set in our ways to try rearrange
Too right to be wrong
in this rebel song.
Let the bells ring out
is there nothing left ?
Is honesty what you want ?
A generation without name
ripped and torn
Nothing to lose
nothing to gain
Nothing at all.
And if you can't help yourself
Well take a look around you
When others need your time.
You say it's time to go it's your time.
Angry words won't stop the fight.
Two wrongs won't make it right.
A new heart is what I need
Oh God
make a bleed
Is there nothing left ?

She feels the ground is giving way
But she thinks we're better off that way
The more you take the less you feel
The less you know the more you believe
The more you have the more it takes today


You got to give it away
(you got to give it away)
You got to give it away
(you got to give it away)
You got to give it away
(you got to give it away)


She knows just what she's worth
She's living like it's the last night on earth
The last night on earth


She's not waiting on a saviour to come
She's at the bus-stop with news of the world and the sun
Sun, here it comes
She's not waiting for anyone


You got to give it away
(you got to give it away)
You got to give it away
(you got to give it away)
You got to give it away
(you got to give it away)


She don't care what it's worth
But she's living like it's the last night on earth
The last night on earth




Slipping away
(would you believe in something
Would you believe in someone)


Slip slide
She lets me
Slipping away

(would you believe in something
Would you believe in someone)


The world turns
And we get dizzy
Slipping away

(would you believe in something
Would you believe in someone)



She's living, living next week now
You know she's going to pay it back somehow
She hasn't been to bed in a week
She'll be dead soon then she'll sleep


You got to give it away
(you got to give it away)
You got to give it away
(you got to give it away)
You got to give it away
(you got to give it away)


She already knows it hurts
She's living like it's the last night on earth
The last night on earth
Last night on earth
Last night...

Zooropa... Vorsprung durch Technik
Zooropa... be all that you can be
Be a winner
Eat to get slimmer

Zooropa... a bluer kind of white
Zooropa... it could be yours tonight
We're mild and green
And squeaky clean

Zooropa... better by design
Zooropa... fly the friendly skies
Through appliance of science
We've got that ring of confidence....

And I have no compass
And I have no map
And I have no reasons
No reasons to get back

And I have no religion
And I don't know what's what
And I don't know the limit
The limit of what we got

Zooropa... don't worry baby. It'll be alright
Zooropa... you got the right shoes
Zooropa... to get you through the night
Zooropa... it's cold outside, but brightly lit
Zooropa... skip the subway
Zooropa... let's go to the overground
Get your head out of the mud baby
Put flowers in the mud baby
Overground

No particular place names
No particular song
I've been hiding
What am I hiding from?

Zooropa... don't worry baby. It's gonna be alright
Zooropa... uncertainty... can be a guiding light
Zooropa... I hear voices, ridiculous voices
Zooropa... in the slipstream
Zooropa... let's go, let's go... overground
Zooropa... take your head out of the mud baby

(She's gonna dream up the world she wants to live in
She's gonna dream out loud)

Where do we go?
Where do we go from here?
Where to go?
To the side of a hill.
Blood was spilt, we were still.
And staring at each other.
We were doing nothing.
Jerusalem, jerusalem.
Shout, shout.
With a shout, shout it out.

I want to go
To the side,
To the one who made me sing,
To the side of the hill.
We were still, we were filled,
With a love.
We want to be loved.

Jerusalem, jerusalem.
Shout, shout.
With a shout.

Weather round here chopping and changing
Surgery in the air
Print shirts and southern accents
Cigars and big hair
We got the wheels, petrol is cheap
We only went there for a week
Got the sun got the sand
Got the batteries in the handycam...

Her eyes all swimming pool blue
Dumb bells on a diving board
Babys always attracted to the things shes afraid of
Big girl with the sweet tooth
Watches the skinny girl in the photo shoot
Freshmen squeaky clean
She tastes of chlorine
Miami, my mammy

Love the movies...love to walk those movie sets
Get to shoot someone in the foot
Get to smoke some cigarettes
No big deal we know the score
Just back from the video store
Got the car and the car chase
Whats he got inside the case
I want a close up of that face
Here comes the car chase

Miami, my mammy
Miami

I bought two new suits...miami
Pink and blue...miami
I took a picture of you...my mammy
Getting hot in a photo booth...miami
I said you looked like a madonna
You said...maybe...
Said I want to have your baby...baby
We could make something beautiful
Something that wouldnt be a problem
We could make something beautiful
Something that wouldnt be a problem
At least not in...miami

You know some places are like your auntie
But theres no place like
Miami, my mammy
Miami, my mammy

Say lonely child
Say all the while
Say morning child
In the morning child
Do you want me child
Do you want me child
Do you want me child


And i know you wear the high
I owe you the morning
And i need all you all the summers in the sand
And high we walk when we begin to crawl
And i say child, will you never make it know
Baby sweet, you on and on


And it's suddenly


Bono: "not too many words."


Yeah, not again


Bono: "is this the chorus?"


And you walk along...
And you're walking
And it changes


Bono: "that's good, hold it now."


Baby, sweet talking baby


Around...don't turn around and sing
Don't turn around
We suffer in the sand
Don't turn your back
When the same is in your song
Caledonia


Bono: [laughs] "something?"


Bono: "what's the verse, again?"


Lonely, and you choose your heart
And you're weaving
Don't turn around
Turn around again


Bono: "this is the chorous, yeah."


On wilderland
Don't turn around
The sun ain't gonna shine
We no more day be gone


I want you now
I need you now
Like the curls on the trees and the ohhhh child
Why...love...you want me child
You want a chance, you wanna
But you can't
I need you girl


Don't turn around
Don't turn around no more
Don't turn around, baby see me more
Don't turn around, the sun again is sing you home
So, caledonia
Caledonia, caledonia


Don't turn around
Don't turn around
Don't turn around...


[a second of silence]


Bono: "try not to do that again."

Down by the motion
Down by the girl
Down into let go of me
I don't ever hurt
We shadow down
We shadow down
By the water land


Baby don't move it
Don't knock me in the tide
I'm like the sun and
You're like the sand
Don't knock me down
Don't knock me
I feel free


And i...i feel free
And i...feel free


(sixty nine)
(sixty nine...)


She's a'calling me
Down want to water
I like a court you you understand it
I under war
A whispering shadow


Don't tell me that
I live a going
I am the storm
To all that was is kicking me
Ever take me down
Take me down tonight
Take me down town


And i...feel free
Well i...feel free


And if a chance
Don't take no choice
Another time
(sixty nine)


I feel free
I feel free such a lie
And i feel walking in the sun
And i feel running with you one
And i feel nothing in the, nothing in
I feel nothing in your time


I feel haunted in your life
I feel talking in your
Walking back in you, baby
Nothing in your touch
Live within your blood
Take me, i'm walking, waking
Hoping, waiting in the sun beats
In your heart


And babe it gives me
I...i feel free

Like a desert needs rain
Like a town needs a name
I need your love
Like a drifter needs a room
Hawkmoon
I need your love

Like a rhythm unbroken
Like drums in the night
Like sweet soul music
Like sunlight
I need your love

Like coming home
And you dont know where youve been
Like black coffee
Like nicotine
I need your love

When the night has no end
And the day yet to begin
As the room spins around
I need your love

Like a phoenix rising
Needs a holy tree
Like the sweet revenge
Of a bitter enemy
I need your love

Like the heat needs the sun
Like honey on her tongue
Like the muzzle of a gun
Like oxygen
I need your love

When the night has no end
And the day yet to begin
As the room spins around
I need your love

Like thunder needs rain
Like the preacher needs pain
Like tongues of flame
Like a blind mans cane
Like a needle in a vein
Like someone to blame
Like a thought unchained
Like a runaway train
I need your love
Like a fighters rage
His dreams in a cage
Like faith needs a doubt
Like a freeway out
I need your love

Like powder needs a spark
Like lies need the dark
I need your love

I try to sing this song.
I try to stand up.
But I cant find my feet.
I try, I try to speak up.
But only in you Im complete.

Gloria, in te domine
Gloria, exultate

Oh lord, loosen my lips?
I try to sing this song.
I try to get in,
But I cant find the door.
The door is open.
Youre standing there,
Let me in.

Gloria, gloria

Oh lord, if I have anything, anything at all,
Ill give it to you.

Gloria, gloria

Today...find my way
I met a man in gray
Yesterday

Told a story, oh
Cant bring them though
He was so

The dream is over
The dream is over
The dream is over
(wake up)

Tomorrow, I will sit down fine
Im gonna pay good mind
He left behind

Saw...he knows I know
Hovering Ill go
He was so

The dream is over
The dream is over
The dream is over
(wake up)

The dream is over
The dream is over
The dream is over
The dream is over

The dream is over
The dream is over...

Hey, see you soon
Sail through your room
I'll meet you there


Hey, be my friend
Stay 'til the end
Don't walk away
Hey, hey, hey, hey...


Hey, take 'em off
Don't talk that way
Don't feel my lover say
Hey, hey, hey...


Chains move that thing
Chains we can see
My chains way too long
Chains in this
Chains move that thing
Chains we could see
Chains are way too long
And i hear my song
Hear my song

My love is cruel as the night
She steals the sun, and shuts out the light
All of my colors, they turn to blue
Win or lose

She does it slow dancing
Slow dancing
She does it slow...dancing
All night long

Scarlet eyes and a see-through heart
She saw me coming right from the start
She picked me up, but had me down on my knees
Just a beggin her, beggin her please

Take me slow dancing
Slow dancing
She took me slow...dancing
All night long

And I dont know a man
Search for himself in his lovers eyes
No I dont know why a man
Sees the truth but needs the lies

My love is restless as the wind
She moves like a shadow across my skin
She left with my conscience, I dont want it back
It just gets in the way

If you wanna go slow dancing
Slow dancing
She took me slow...dancing
All night long

Slow...dancing
Slow...dancing
Slow...

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
Id 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

Im wide awake
Im wide awake
Wide awake
Im not sleeping
Oh, no, no, no

If you should ask then maybe theyd
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

Im wide awake
Im wide awake
Wide awake
Im not sleeping
Oh, no, no, no

Whos to say where the wind will take you
Whos to say what it is will break you
I dont know
Where the wind will blow

Whos to know when the time has come around
I dont want to see you cry
I know that this is not goodbye

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 its one need
In the night
Its one love
We get to share it
It leaves you baby
If you dont 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 its too late
Tonight
To drag tha past out
Into the light
Were one
But were not the same
We get to carry each other
Carry each other
One

Have you come here for forgiveness
Have you come tor raise the dead
Havew 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 its all I got
Were one
But were not the same
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 cant 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 were not the same
We get to carry each other
Carry each other

One

One.

She did go
She got my jokes
Sit why we win
Go by the sin
Get high, get quick
Get bopping on a stick
Hollywood


Shake by go
Get barking in sin
Get high with the folks
Get down in the swim
Don't you walk away
I want you baby


How does it feel
When you're meet her in your home
How does it feel
When you feel her, let it go


Bono: "break."


Bono: "turn that guitar up there."


Sugar sugar sugar sugar sugar
Sugar sugar sugar sugar sugar
Sugar sugar sugar sugar sugar


Ah, it ain't over child
Your racing car
Raised by the boldness
You know you are


Your lips like cherries
And they call to me
I wasn't in the bottle
Next to me


I'm down by the call
Maybe the sun
Where nobody feels
They gotta give it and go


She's...gonna take her chances
Gonna take her chances
And you don't


Jump...you're gonna be the tele'
Is there anybody calling
Is anybody home


Anybody home
'body home
Anybody home


Bono: "just drums."


She likes it
Little bit of sky
Locked in the ocean
Bitty bitty sky
On a crutch rate
Country


Some scratch for it
Others snatch for it
Can't scrape for it
Can't escape for it


Check it out for it
Turn a sip for it
Some slip from it
Others strip for it


Any grip for it
What is it
What is it
What is it


Some preach for it
Even teach for it
Like a leash to it
Can't be teaching them


All crawl for it
Still stall for it
All fall for it
When you jump for it


Some slash for it
Others stash for it
Some cash into it
Others smash for it


Do lines for it
Break rhymes for it
Do crimes for it
Do time for it


Sugar cane, sugar cane
Sugar cane, sugar cane
Sugar cane, sugar cane


Sure...we're gonna take our chances
To turn and seek you
Couldn't go


Bono: "and again."


Sure...we're without a reason
I'm calling out for love
Is there anybody home


Bono: "nice."


Ray got caught
Her fingers in the till
Sent us home
Money came to will


Frank came home
With a black and blue
Working at the station
Where he can't break through


Was working on the coin
On the union stand
With a digital aid
And a union band


Saw a moving statue
Saw the bullet train
And a sheltered city
Where clowns scream


Our move ruined it
Saw the money god
Brothers say by a ring
Others sat by the brim


Tonight high-q site
Want these inocent
Bing-bang
And the big bang
Big bang, big bang


Die...like a butterfly
Die...like a butterfly
Die...like i'm gonna die
Die...like a moon in charge
Die...


Midnight...is where the day begins
Midnight...


Bono: "edge."

You dont have to break your heart
In two my love
You dont have to play a part
Its you I love
You dont have to hide from yourself
You dont have to be someone else again

You dont have to rescue me
You dont have to watch me drown
You dont have to give to me
All I want is you

Be there, my love
Be there, tonight
Be there, my love
Be there, tonight

You dont have to dress yourself up
Or stay the same
You dont have to smile
If I say smile

You dont have to be the best
You dont have to give me rest
All I want is all you have
Nothing else
Nothing

Be there, my love
Just be there, my love

If you want the whole of me
Thats all youll get
Ill sing this song
Id give my health
Give it all
You dont have to...

Ah, she comes on by
She says, I need you, my love
Ah, she says, all I want is you

You dont have to play your little game
If I fall apart
You dont have to work those strings
Or do those things
Youre enough in my heart

You dont have to hide from yourself
You dont have to be someone else
All I want is all you have
All I want is you

Be there, my love
Be there, tonight
Be there, my love
Be there, tonight

Late at night
When the motion beats down
I feel so low, oh no

I lived a lie
For a thousand years
We start to cower, oh no

I said oh no, baby dont
What you got to do it for
Cant go on

She says oh no, baby dont
Let me take me out here
Thank you man

You can think your so high
When the moon is way down low
Take your time, feel fine
Those ladies are so darn high
Oh no no no

You gamble inside out
Forever inside out

In the shit house, a shotgun
Praying hands hold me down
If only the hunter was hunted
In this tin can town,
No stars in the black night
Looks like the sky fall down,
No sun in the daylight
Looks like its chained to the ground.
Broken back to the ceiling
Broken nose to the floor
I scream at the silence
That crawls under the door (under the floor).

Chorus:
The warden says,
the exit is sold,
If you want a way out - silver and gold.
Silver and gold.

Theres a rope around my neck
Theres a trigger in your gun
Jesus say something!
I am someone!

I seen the coming and going
The captains and the kings
Their navy blue uniforms
Them bright and shiny things
Yes, captains and kings in the slave ships hold
They came to collect
Silver and gold
Silver and gold

The temperature is rising
The fever white hot
Mister I aint got nothing
But its more than youve got

These chains no longer bind me
Nor the shackles at my feet
Outside are the prisoners
Inside the free (set them free).

A prize fighter in a corner is told
Hit where it hurts - silver and gold
Silver and gold.
You can stop the world from turning around
You just gotta pay a penny in the pound.

Rejoice, Rejoice, Rejoice, Rejoice

I like to smile
But I like to mostly stay with you
I like good times
But I cant feel this without you
By my song
The heart is in the place
I sing this song
Probably so

If I could sigh
Id tell the world Id felt with you
I like the time
I like the feeling when
I feel you in my arms
Ill take you in my hand
Ill let you go
Somebody save me
Somebody save me

Sing it
Sing my, sing my song
We sing the same old song loud

Smile...though your heart breaks in two
Touch me...when will I be with you

I like good times
But I can feel its going wrong
You sing the same old song
Now I think its time to get it right

Sing it out, sing out...
Sing this same old song

If I could swim, Id swim in circles
If I could drown, id, Id drown with you
If I had enough of my life
I cant tell
If I had enough of you

Jesus, jesus help me
Im alone in this world
And a fucked up world it is too
Tell me, tell me the story
The one about eternity
And the way its all gonna be

Wake up, wake up dead man
Wake up, wake up dead man

Jesus, Im waiting here boss
I know youre looking out for us
But maybe your hands arent free
Your father, he made the world in seven
Hes in charge of heaven
Will you put in a word for me

Wake up, wake up dead man
Wake up, wake up dead man

Listen to your words theyll tell you what to do
Listen over the rhythm thats confusing you
Listen to the reed in the saxophone
Listen over the hum of the radio
Listen over sounds of blades in rotation
Listen through the traffic and circulation
Listen as hope and peace try to rhyme
Listen over marching bands playing out their time

Wake up, wake up dead man
Wake up, wake up dead man

Jesus, were you just around the corner
Did you think to try and warn her
Or are you working on something new
If theres an order in all of this disorder
Is it like a tape recorder
Can we rewind it just once more

Wake up, wake up dead man
Wake up, wake up dead man
Wake up, wake up dead man

I was talking, I was talking to myself, somebody else.
Talk, talk, talking.
I couldnt hear a word,
A word you said.
He was my brother.
I said there was no other,
Way out of here.
Be my brother.
I got to get out.

I was walking, I was walking into walls.
Im back again, just keep walking.
I walk into a window to see myself, and my reflection.
When I thought about it,
My direction,
Going nowhere, going nowhere.

No one, no one is blinder.
Who will, who will not see?
No one, no one is blinder than me.

I was talking, I was talking in my sleep.
I can stop talking.
Im talking to you.
Its up to you.
Be my brother.
There is another way out of here,
In my brother.
Gonna get out, gonna get out of here.

Come to me
Come lie beside me
Oh dont deny me
Your love

Make sense of me
Walk through my doorway
Dont hide in the hallway
Oh love...step over

Ill follow you down
Ill follow you down

In the name of whiskey
In the name of song
You didnt look back
You didnt belong

In the name of reason
In the name of hope
In the name of religion
In the name of dope

In the name of freedom
You drifted away
To see the sun shining
On someone elses day

In the name of united and the bbc
In the name of georgie best and lsd

In the name of a father
And his wife the spirit
You said you did not
They said you did it

In the name of justice
In the name of fun
In the name of the father
In the name of the son

Call to me
No one is listening
Im waiting to hear from you love

Stay with me
Its cold in the ground
But theres peace in the sound
Of the white and the black
Spilling over

Ill follow you down
Ill follow you down
Ill follow you down

Sleep, sleep tonight.
And may your dreams
Be realized
If the thunder cloud
Passes rain.
So let it rain, rain down him.
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

City street lights
And the multiple life
But babe you gotta give and go

Cigarette lights
Then my finger alights
I need to be alone

She can take you tonight
She can make you, thats alright
She can break you tonight
Dont misunderstand

Cigarette girls
Goes head in and whirls
You will be a superman

Open her booths
Deal must to the bruiser
Drinking all I can

We can take that tonight
We can make them, thats right
We can break them tonight
Dont misunderstand

The light...
Alone in the light
Alone in the light
In the sea of pain

You can take it tonight
She can make you, thats right
She can break you tonight
Dont misunderstand
cause they cry, and...

Alone in the light
Alone in the light
Alone in the light
In the sea at night

We rode the streets in the morning light
We held our day in our hands

Alone in the light
Alone in the light
Alone in the light
In the sea at night

If coke is a mystery
Michael jackson...history
If beauty is truth
And surgery the fountain of youth
What am I to do
Have I got the gift to get me through
The gates of that mansion

If oj is more than a drink
And a big mac bigger than you think
If perfume is an obsession
And talk shows, confession
What have we got to lose
Another push and well be through
The gates of that mansion

I never bought a lotto ticket
I never parked in anyones space
The banks feel like cathedrals
I guess casinos took their place
Love, come on down
Dont wake her, shell come around

Chance is a kind of religion
Where youre damned for plain hard luck
I never did see that movie
I never did read that book
Love, come on down
Let my numbers come around

Dont know if I can hold on
Dont know if Im that strong
Dont know if I can wait that long
til the colours come flashing
And the lights go on

Then will there be no time for sorrow
Then will there be no time for shame
And though I cant say why
I know Ive got to believe

Well go driving in that pool
Its who you know that gets you through
The gates of the playboy mansion
But they dont mention...the pain

Then will there be no time for sorrow
Then will there be no time for shame
Then will there be no time for sorrow
Then will there be no time for shame

Two shots of happy, one shot of sad
You think Im no good, well I know Ive been bad
Took you to a place, now you cant get back
Two shots of happy, one shot of sad

Walked together down a dead end street
We were mixing the bitter with the sweet
Dont try to figure out what we might of had
Just two shots of happy, one shot of sad

Im just a singer, some say a sinner
Rolling the dice, not always a winner
You say Ive been lucky, well hell Ive made my own
Not part of the crowd, but not feeling alone

Under pressure, but not bent out of shape
Surrounded, we always found an escape
Drove me to drink, but hey thats not all bad
Two shots of happy, one shot of sad

Guess Ive been greedy, all of my life
Greedy with my children, my lovers, my wife
Greedy for the good things as well as the bad
Two shots of happy, one shot of sad

Maybe its just talk, saloon singing
The chairs are all stacked, the swingings stopped swinging
You say I hurt you, you put the finger on yourself
Then after you did it, you came crying for my help

Two shots of happy, one shot of sad
Im not complaining, baby Im glad
You call it a compromise, well whats that
Two shots of happy, one shot of sad

Two shots of happy, one shot of sad

(happy birthday, frank)

I was born a child of grace
Nothing else about the place
Everything was ugly but your beautiful face
And it left me no illusion

I saw you in the curve of the moon
In the shadow cast across my room
You heard me in my tune
When I just heard confusion

All because of you
All because of you
All because of you
I am...I am

I like the sound of my own voice
I didn't give anyone else a choice
An intellectual tortoise
Racing with your bullet train

Some people get squashed crossing the tracks
Some people got high rises on their backs
I'm not broke but you can see the cracks
You can make me perfect again

All because of you
All because of you
All because of you
I am...I am

I'm alive
I'm being born
I just arrived, I'm at the door
Of the place I started out from
And I want back inside

All because of you
All because of you
All because of you
I am

It takes a second to say goodbye,
Say goodbye.
It takes a second to say goodbye,
Say goodbye, say bye bye where are you going to now?

Fall, rise and . . . fall, rise and . . .
Lightning flashes across the sky,
]from east to west you do or die.
Like a thief in the night,
You see the world by candlelight.

Fall, rise and . . . fall, rise and . . .
In an apartment on times square,
You can assemble them anywhere.
Held to ransom, hell to pay,
A revolution everyday.
U.s.s.r., d.d.r., london, new york, peking.
Its the puppets, its the puppets who pull the strings.

Say goodbye, say goodbye.
It takes a second to say goodbye,
Push the button and pull the plug, say goodbye.

Fall, rise and . . . fall, rise and . . .
Theyre doing the atomic bomb,
Do they know where the dance comes from?
Yes theyre doing the atomic bomb,
They want you to sing along.
Say goodbye, say goodbye.

Every chip from every cup
Every promise given up
Every reason that's not enough
Is falling, falling at your feet

Every band elastic limit
Every race when there's nothing in it
Every winner that has lost their ticket
Is falling, falling at your feet
I've come crawling, falling at your feet

Everyone who needs a friend
Every life that has no end
Every knee not ready to bend
Is falling, falling at your feet
I've come crawling, now I'm falling at your feet

All fall down
All the manic days
The faces that you pull
All the x-rays not under your control
The graffiti rolling down off of your tongue
And the compromise you make for someone

Every teenage with acne
Every face that's spoiled by beauty
Every adult tamed by duty
Are all falling at your feet

Every foot in every face
Every cop stop that finds the grace
Every prisoner in the Maze
Every hand that needs an ace
Is falling, falling at your feet
I've come crawling, now I'm falling at your feet

All fall down
All the books you never read
Just started
All the meals you rushed
And never tasted

Every eye closed by a bruise
Every player who just can't lose
Every pop star hurling abuse
Every drunk back on the booze
All falling at your feet, all falling at your feet

All fall down
All the information
All the big ideas
All the radio waves
On electronic seas
How to navigate
How to simply be
Don't know when to wait
Explain simplicity
In whom shall I trust?
How might I be still?
Teach me to surrender
Not my will, THY will

I have got you under my skin
Ive got you deep in the heart of me

So deep in my heart
Youre nearly a part of me
Ive got you under my skin

I have tried so not to give in
I have said to myself this affair
Never gonna go somewhere

But why should I try to resist
When baby I know so well
That Ive got you under my skin

I would sacrafice anything
Come what might
For the sake of holding you near
In spite of a warning voice
That comes in the night
It repeats and it shouts in my ear

Dont you know blue-eyes
You never can win
Use your mentality
Wake up to reality

But each time I do
Just the thought of you
Makes me stop before I begin

cause Ive got you under my skin

Id sacrafice anything
Come what might
For the sake of having you near
In spite of a warning voice
That comes in the night
It repeats and it shouts in my ear

Dont you know you old fool
You never can win
Use your mentality
Wake up to reality

But each time that I do
Just the thought of you
Makes me stop before I begin

cause Ive got you under my skin
And I love you (when youre) under my skin

Wont you come back tomorrow?
Wont you come back tomorrow?

Wont you come back tomorrow?
Can I sleep tonight?
Outside, somebodys outside.
Somebodys lookin at the door.
Theres a black car parked at the side of the road.
So go to the door.
Let him out.
Go in outside, mother.
Go in outside.

Wont you come back tomorrow?
Wont you come back tomorrow?
Wont you come back tomorrow?

Who broke the window?
Who broke down the door?
Who told the cutter?
And who was he for?
Who heals the bounds?
Who heals the stars?
Open the door.

Wont be back tomorrow?
Wont be back tomorrow?
Wont you come back tomorrow?
Can I sleep tonight?

Cause I want you, I want you.
I really want you.

I want you to be back tomorrow.
I want you to be back tomorrow.
Will you be back tomorrow?

Open up the way to love, oh god.
Come back, heal me.
Jesus, come back.
Im gonna be there tomorrow.

It's Christmas
Baby, please come home

(Yeah!)

The snow's coming down
I'm watching it fall
Watching the people around
Baby please come home

The churchbells in town
They're rining a song
What a happy sound
Baby please come home

Theyr'e singing deck the halls
But it's not like Christmas at all
I remember when you were here
And all the fun we had last year

Pretty lights on the tree
I'm watching 'em shine
You should be here with me
Baby please come home

Baby please come home
Baby please come home

They're singing deck the halls
But it's not like Christmas at all
I remember when you were here
And all the fun we had last year

If there was a way
I'd hold back these tears
But it's Christmas day
Baby please come home
Ohh...

Baby please come home
Baby please come home
Baby please come home
Ohh...
Baby please come home
Baby please come home

Uno, dos, tres, catorce
(Turn it up loud, captain)

Lights go down
It's dark, the jungle is
Your head can't rule your heart
A feeling's so much stronger
Than a thought
Your eyes are wide
And 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
These bullets rip the 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
I'm asking for the check
The girl with crimson nails
Has Jesus around her neck
Swinging to the music
Swinging to the music

Hello, hello (¡Hola!)
I'm at a place called Vertigo (¿Dónde está?)
It's everything I wish I didn't know
But you give me something
I can feel, feel

(Checking it)
(Shadows fall)
(She'll make it)

All this, all of this can be yours
All of this, all of this can be yours
All 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

Give me one more chance
And youll be satisfied
Give me two more chances
You wont be denied

Well my heart is where its always been
My head is somewhere in between
Give me one more chance
Let me be your lover tonight

(check it out)

Youre the real thing
Yeah the real thing
Youre the real thing
Even better than the real thing
Child...

Give me one last chance
And Im gonna make you sing
Give me half a chance
To ride on the waves that you bring

Youre honey child to a swarm of bees
Gonna blow right through you like a breeze
Give me one last dance
Well slide down the surface of things

Youre the real thing
Yeah the real thing
Youre the real thing
Even better than the real thing
Child...

Were free to fly the crimson sky
The sun wont melt our wings tonight

Oh now...here she comes

Take me higher
Take me higher
You take me higher
You take me higher

Youre the real thing
Yeah the real thing
Youre the real thing
Even better than the real thing
Even better than the real thing
Even better than the real thing

Oh my love
It's a long way we've come
From the freckled hills
To the steel and glass canyons
From the stony fields
To hanging steel from skies
From diggin in our pockets
For a reason not to say goodbye
These are the hands that build America
Ah ah ah..... America
Last saw your face
In a watercolored Sky
As sea birds argue
A long goodbye
I took your kiss
On the spray of a new lined star
You gotta live in your dreams
Don't make them so hard
And these are the hands that built America
Ah ah ah..... America
Of all of the promises
Is this one we can keep
Of all of the dreams
Is this one still out of reach
???
Its early fall
There's a cloud in the New York skyline
Innocence...dragged across a yellow line
These are the hands that built America
These are the hands that built America
Ah ah ah..... America
Ah ah ah..... America

Instrumental

Little sister don't you worry about a thing today
Take the heat from the sun
Little sister
I know that everything is not ok
But you're like honey on my tongue

True love never can be rent
But only true love can keep beauty innocent

I could never take a chance
Of losing love to find romance
In the mysterious distance
Between a man and a woman
No I could never take a chance
'Cause I could never understand
The mysterious distance
Between a man and a woman

You can run from love
And if it's really love it will find you
Catch you by the heel
But you can't be numb for love
The only pain is to feel nothing at all
How can I hurt when I'm holding you?

I could never take a chance
Of losing love to find romance
In the mysterious distance
Between a man and a woman

And you're the one, there's no-one else
You make me want to lose myself
In the mysterious distance
Between a man and a woman

Brown eyed girl across the street
On rue Saint Divine
I thought this is the one for me
But she was already mine
You were already mine...

Little sister
I've been sleeping in the street again
Like a stray dog
Little sister
I've been trying to feel complete again
But you're gone and so is God

The soul needs beauty for a soul mate
When the soul wants...the soul waits ...

No I could never take a chance
Of losing love to find romance
In the mysterious distance
Between a man and a woman

For love and faith and sex and fear
And all the things that keep us here
In the mysterious distance
Between a man and a woman

How can I hurt when I'm holding you?

Falling, falling
The sun is burning black.
Falling, falling
Its beating on my back,
With the fire.
Falling, falling
And the moon is running red.
Its pulling me instead, with the fire.
Fire.

But theres a fire inside.
Im falling over.
Theres a fire in me.
And I call out.
And I feel some fire.
Im calling out.
The stars are falling down.
They knock me to the ground.
With the fire, fire.

And theres a fire inside.
When Im falling over,
Theres a fire in me.
When I call out,
Theres a fire inside.
When Im falling over,
I feel the fire.
Im burning fire, falling.

Hey...sister love
Hey...sister soul
Hey...oh my love
You turn me around tonight
Hey...sister love
Save my soul, save my soul


Hold on to love, hold on to love
Love won't let you go
Love won't let you go
Hold on to love
See the sunshine in her soul


Hey...sister love
Hey...seems so bright
She comes like carnival
She is the big wheel
She turned my head around
Turned my head around
She is the speedway
She is the slipstream
She is coming 'round


Hold on to love
Hold on to love
Love won't let you go
Hold on to love
Hold on to love
She the sunlight in her song
See the sunlight in her soul


She is the gun fire
She is the car crash
She is a avalanche
She is the thunder
She is the waves and
She pulls me under


I love you 'cause i need to
Not because i need you
I love you 'cause i understand
That god has given me your hand
He holds me in a tiny fist
And still i need your kiss


Hold...on to love
Hold...


See the sunlight in her song
See the sunlight in her soul

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


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


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


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


(nobody like you...)


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


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

And so she woke up
]from where she was lying still
Said we got to do something about where were going
Step on a steam train
Step out of the driving train
Maybe run from the darkness in the night
Singing ha la la la de day
Singing ha la la la de day
Sweet the sin
But the 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 la la la de day
Singing ha la 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 is running to stand still

Summer stretching on the grass
Summer dresses pass
In the shade of a willow tree
Creeps a crawling over me


Over me and over you
Stuck together with god's glue
It's going to get stickier too
It's been a long hot summer
Let's get under cover
Don't try too hard to think
Don't think at all


I'm not the only one
Staring at the sun
Afraid of what you'd find
If you took a look inside


I'm not just deaf and dumb
Staring at the sun
Not the only one
Who's happy to go blind


There's an insect in your ear
If you scratch it won't disappear
It's going to itch and burn and sting
You want to see what the scratching brings


Waves that leave me out of reach
Breaking on your back like a beach
Will we ever live in peace
'cause those that can't do
Often have to
And those that can't do
Often have to preach


To the ones
Staring at the sun
Afraid of what you'll find
If you took a look inside


Not just deaf and dumb
Staring at the sun
I'm not the only one
Who'd rather go blind


Intransigence is all around
Military still in town
Armour plated suits and ties
Daddy just won't say goodbye


Referee won't blow the whistle
God is good but will he listen
I'm nearly great
But there's something missing
I left it in the duty free
But you never really belonged to me


You're not the only one
Staring at the sun
Afraid of what you'd find
If you stepped back inside


I'm not sucking on my thumb
I'm staring at the sun
Not the only one
Who's happy to go blind

In a field by a river
My love and I did lie
And on my naked shoulder
She too proud to cry
She said that I must leave her
An icy tear she froze
How could I melt the heart
Of a wild irish rose

Well a gypsy she has made of me
A servent of the street
And back to bed Ive travelled
To taste a love as sweet
Well the heart it knows no reasons
And reason never knows
As I lie with them Im thinking
Of a wild irish rose

Well I saw the city of angels
It brought a devil out in me
And hells hotel on sunset
Showed a whore no mercy
As the orange sky was screaming
From the roof I let her go
These are the dizzying heights that brought me
My wild irish rose

Now red is the rose
That she layed on my grave
A life is what she wanted
And a life I surely gave
Like a hundred men before me
They lay lying here in rows
Young men, bloody
As a wild irish rose

Happiness is a warm gun
Happiness is a warm gun


She's not a girl who misses much
She's not a girl who misses much


Mother Superior jump the gun
Mother Superior jump the gun
Mother Superior jump the gun
Mother Superior jump the gun


Happiness is a warm gun
Happiness is a warm gun


She's well acquainted with the touch of the velvet hand
Like a lizard on a window pane
The man in the crowd
With the multicoloured mirrors on his hobnail boots
Lying with his eyes wide open
And the hands busy working overtime
A soap impression of his wife which he ate
And donated to the National Trust


Hey, I need a fix 'cause I'm going down


Happiness is a, a warm gun
Happiness is a, a warm gun
Happiness is a, a warm gun
Happiness is a warm gun


Happiness is a warm gun
Happiness is a warm gun


I need a fix cause I'm going down
I need a fix cause I'm going down
I need a fix cause I'm going down
To the bits that I left uptown


I need a fix cause I'm going down, uptown
Need a fix cause I'm going down, uptown


Happiness is a, a warm gun
Happiness is a, a warm gun
Happiness is a, a warm gun
Happiness is a warm gun
Happiness is a warm gun
[Repeat until end]

A lonesome soul
In an old black boat
A lonesome frown
What a way to go
Chasing though
The strings to hold
In an old black coat
A lonesome soul
A lonesome soul
A lonesome soul

]from father to son
The blood runs thin
Our faces frozen (still) against the wind
The seam is split
The coal face cracked
The lines are long
And theres no going back
Through hands of steel
And a heart of stone
Our labor day has come and gone
And you leave us holding on
In red hill town
As the lights go down
Im hanging on
Youre all thats left to hang on to
Im holding on
Youre all thats left to hang on to

The glass is cut
The bottle runs dry
Our love runs cold
In the caverns of the night
Were wounded by fear
Injured in doubt
I can lose myself
Im holding on
Youre all thats left to hold on to

And we scorch the earth
Set fire to the sky
Stoop so low to reach so high
A link is lost
The chain undone
Now we wait all day
For the night to come
And it comes
And it comes
Like a hunter (child)
Im hanging on
Youre all thats left to hang on to
Im hanging on to
Youre all thats left to hang on to
We see love slowly stripped away
Our love, has seen a better day
Im hanging on
Youre all thats left to hold on to
Im holding on
Youre all thats left to hold on to
See the lights go down on red hill town
See lights go down on red hill town

Where the jungle shadows fall
Like the tick tick tick of the eye of the clock
Youre standing up against the wall
Like the drip drip drip of the rain drops
When the sun shines through
So a voice within me
Keeps revealing you...you

Night and day
You are the one
Only you beneath the moon
And under the sun
Whether near to me or far
Its no matter, baby, where you are
I think of you
Night and day

Day and night
Why is it so
That this longing for you follows wherever I go
In the roaring traffic gloom
In the silence of my lonely room
I think of you
Night and day

Night and day
Under the hide of me
Though such a hungry yearning
Burning inside of me
This torment wont be through
til you let me spend my life making love to you
Day and night
Night and day

Night and day
Under the hide of me
Oh, such a hungry yearning
Burning, burning inside of me
This torment wont be through
til you let me spend my life making love to you
Day and night
Night and day

Night and day
Night and day
Night and day
Night, night, night and day
Night and day
Night, night and day
Night and day

Bono: like to...Id like to try a song that I think weve only played once before, so. this is a city that a...a lot of irish people came to this city, right? so this time...this irish...t
Irish people came as rock and roll band, okay? so...but this is a folk song. its like...the irish kinda hold america in a very special place because, for over a hundred years or more, irish have come over here to find work and find a future. and they brouught with them songs, old irish folk songs that became old american folk songs. and, I hope maybe wed leave behind some songs one day. this is a song written by peggy seeger. its a song...i wished Id heard this song on the raidio during the miners strike in england a few years ago. this is called springhill mining disaster.

In the town of springhill nova scotia
Down in the dark of the cumberland mine
Theres blood on the coal, and the miners lie
In roads that never saw sun or sky
Roads--

Bono: shut up for a second, will you? stop whistling cause Im not in the beatles, okay? its u2 here.

In the town of springhill
They dont sleep easy
Often the earth will tremble and roll
When the earth is restless
Miners die

Bone and blood is the price of coal
Bone and blood is the price of coal

Listen to the shouts of the black faced miner
Listen to the call of the rescue team
We have no water, light or bread
So were living on songs and hope instead
Living on songs and hope instead

In the town of springhill nova scotia
Down in the dark of the cumberland mine
Theres blood on the coal, and the miners lie
In roads that never saw sun or sky
Roads that never saw sun nor sky

In the town of springhill
Dont sleep easy
Often the earth will tremble and roll
When the earth is restless
Miners die

Bone and blood is the price of coal
Bone and blood is the price of coal
Bone and blood is the price of coal

Bono: thanks for your patience. thank you.

I know a girl, a girl called party
Party girl
I know she wants more than a party
Party girl
And she wont tell me her name

I know a boy, a boy called trash
Trash can
I know he does all that he can
Wham bam
And he wont tell me his name

I have a heart, a heart thats beating inside
When I was three I thought the world revolved around me
I was wrong
And so I sing along
And if you dance, then dance with me

I know a girl, a girl called party
Party girl
I know she wants more than a party
Party girl
I know a boy, a boy called trampoline
You know what I mean

I think you know what he wants
I think he knows what he wants
I think he knows what he wants

Im ready
Ready for the laughing gas
Im ready
Ready for whats next
Ready to duck
Ready to dive
Ready to say
Im glad to be alive
Im ready
Im ready for the push

In the cool of the night
The wartmth of the breeze
Ill be crawling around
On my hands and knees

Shes just down the line ... zoo station
Got to make it on time ... zoo station

Im ready
Im ready for the gridlock
Im ready
To take it to the street
Ready for the shuffle
Ready for the deal
Ready to let go
Of the steering wheel
Im ready
Ready for the crush

Alright, alright, alright, alright, alright
Its alright...its alright...its alright...its alright
Hey baby...hey baby...hey baby...hey baby
Its alright
Its alright

Time is a train
Makes the future the past
Leaves you standing in the station
Your face pressed up against the glass

Im just down the line from your love...zoo station
Under the sign of your love...zoo station
Im gonna be there...zoo station
Tracing the line...zoo station
Im gonna make it on time...make it on time...zoo station
Just two stops down the line...zoo station
Just a stops down the line...zoo station

Lemon
See through in the sunlight
She wore lemon
Never in the daylight
Shes gonna make you cry
Shes gonna make you whisper and moan
But when youre dry
She draws water from a stone

I feel like Im slowly, slowly, slowlys slipping under
I feel like Im holding onto nothing

She wore lemon
To colour in the cold grey night
She had heaven
And she held on so tight

A man makes a picture
A moving picture
Through light projected
He can see himself up close
A man captures colour
A man likes to stare
He turns his money into light
To look for her

And I feel like Im drifting, drifting, drifting from the shore
And I feel like Im swimming out to her

Midnight is where the day begins
Midnight is where the day begins
Midnight is where the day begins

Lemon
See through in the sunlight

A man builds a city
With banks and cathedrals
A man melts the sand so he can
See the world outside youre gonna meet her there
A man makes a car shes your destination
And builds roads to run (them) on you gotta get to her
A man dreams of leaving shes imagination
But he always stays behind

And these are the days when our work has come assunder
And these are the days when we look for something other

Midnight is where the day begins
Midnight is where the day begins
Midnight is where the day begins

A man makes a picture
A moving picture
Through light projected
He can see himself up close gotta meet her there
A man captures colour shes your destination
A man likes to stare theres no sleeping there
He turns his money into light shes imagination
To look for her
She is the dreamer
Shes imagination
Through the light projected
He can see himself up close

Heaven on earth
We need it now
Im sick of all of this
Hanging around

Sick of sorrow
Im sick of the pain
Im sick of hearing
Again and again
That theres gonna be
Peace on earth

Where I grew up
There werent many trees
Where there was wed tear them down
And use them on our enemies

They say that what you mark
Will surely overtake you
And you become a monster
So the monster will not break you

And its already gone too far
You said that if you go in hard
You wont get hurt

Jesus can you take the time
To throw a drowning man a line
Peace on earth

Tell the ones who hear no sound
Whose sons are living in the ground
Peace on earth

No whos or whys
No one cries like a mother cries
For peace on earth

She never got to say goodbye
To see the color in his eyes
Now hes in the dirt
Peace on earth

Theyre reading names out
Over the radio
All the folks the rest of us
Wont get to know

Sean and julia
Gareth anne and peter
Their lives are bigger than
Any bigger

Jesus can you take the time
To throw a drowning man a line
Peace on earth

To tell the ones who hear no sound
Whose sons are living in the ground
Peace on earth

Jesus in the song you wrote
The words are sticking in my throat
Peace on earth

Hear it every christmas time
But hope and history wont rhyme
So whats it worth

This peace on earth
Peace on earth
Peace on earth
Peace on earth

Midnight, our sons and daughters
Were cut down and taken from us
Hear their heartbeat...
We hear their heartbeat
In the wind
We hear their laughter
In the rain
We see their tears
Hear their heartbeat...
We hear their heartbeat
Night hangs like a prisoner
Stretched over black and blue
Hear their heartbeat...
We hear their heartbeat
In the trees
Our sons stand naked
Through the walls
Our daughters cry
See their tears in the rainfall

Once you get a chance
You come to baby
Right back, you call me down
Used to think you wanted nothing to do
Was to say nothing at all

You went like the one time
A two time
Youre back, and me
Drop off the back seat
Of a bad car
Where finders
Came alone

Bono: f

Wishing her out of my life
Wishing her...

What am I to do
Came a talk to street
And a time that you listen
Dont you beg the time on me

They said you oughta call her back
I wanna, but afraid to say
I wont hang up on you baby, child
Nothing feels like this before

Here in in my life
Yeah in heaven and hell
Baby youre heaven and hell
Heaven and hell

Bono: f

Oh, heaven and hell

All the time...

Want a chance to hold you
Want a chance to kill
I want a chance to keep you awake at night
When the sunlight burns through your love

But you cant always get
Everything you want
You take cards from all under the table
Youre heaven, heaven and hell

Baby youre heaven...heaven and hell
Yeah, youre heaven...heaven and hell

Cover me...

Bono: e!

Bono: okay organ. just organ.

Darkness...
You light up my darkness
You light up my darkness
And open up...

Bono: f

Bono: organ.

Bono: this time when we come in, come in a little bit quietly. not the drums, but everyone else.

Heaven...

Like a song I have to sing,
I sing it for you.
Like the words I have to bring,
I bring them for you.
And in leather, lace and chains,
We stake our claim,
Revolution once again.

But I wont,
I wont wear it on my sleeve.
I can see through this expression
And you know I dont believe.
Im too old to be told,
Exactly who are you?
Tonight, tomorrows to late.

And we love to wear a badge, a uniform,
And we love to fly a flag.
But I wont let others live in hell,
As we divide against each other,
And we fight amongst ourselves.

Too set in out ways to try to rearrange.
Too right to be wrong, in this rebel song.
Let the bells ring out, is there nothing left?
Is honesty what you want?

A generation without name, ripped and torn,
Nothing to loose, nothing to gain,
Nothing at all.
And if you cant help yourself,
Well take a look around you
When others need your time.
You say its time to go its your time.
Angry words wont stop the fight.
Two wrings wont make it right.
A new heart is what I need,
Oh god, make it bleed,
Is there nothing left?

Shake! shake!

Dont go
I believe in a celebration
I believe you set me free
I believe you can loose this chains
I believe you can dance with me
Dance with me

Shake! shake!
Shake! shake!

I believe in the third world war
I believe in the atomic bomb
I believe in the powers that be
But they wont overpower me

And, and you can go there too
And, and you can go go go go

Shake! shake!
Shake! shake!

And we dont have the time
And everything goes round and round
And we dont have the time
To watch the world go tumbling down

Go! go!

I believe in the bells of christs church
Ringing for this land
I believe in the cells of mount joy
Doesnt understand

And, and you can go there too
And, and you can go go go go

I believe in the walls of jericho (and
You...)
I believe theyre coming down (can
Go there too)
I belive in this citys children (and you...
I believe the trumpets sound (can
Go go go go)

And you can go there too
And you can go go go go...

I believe in what Im doing
What am I doing here...

The heart is a bloom
Shoots up through the stony ground
Theres no room
No space to rent in this town

Youre out of luck
And the reason that you had to care
The traffic is stuck
And youre not moving anywhere

You thought youd found a friend
To take you out of this place
Someone you could lend a hand
In return for grace

Its a beautiful day
Sky falls you feel like
Its a beautiful day
Dont let it get away

Youre on the road
But youve got no destination
Youre in the mud
In the maze of her imagination

You love this town
Even if that doesnt ring true
Youve been all over
And its been all over you

Its a beautiful day
Dont let it get away
Its a beautiful day

Touch me
Take me to that other place
Teach me
I know Im 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
Dont let it get away
Beautiful day

Touch me
Take me to that other place
Reach me
I know Im not a hopeless case

What you dont have you dont need it now
What you dont know you can feel it somehow
What you dont have you dont need it now
Dont need it now
Was a beautiful day

Stuck in a moment

Im not afraid of anything in this world
Theres nothing you can throw at me that I havent already heard
Im just trying to find a decent melody
A song that I can sing in my own company

Youve got to get yourself together
Youve got stuck in a moment
And now you cant get out of it
Dont say that later will be better
Now youre stuck in a moment
And you cant get out of it

I will not forsake the colours 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 its tough
And you can never get enough
Of what you dont really need now, my, oh my

Youve got to get yourself together
Youve got stuck in a moment
And you cant get out of it
Oh love, look at you now
Youve got yourself stuck in a moment
And you cant get out of it

I was unconscious, half asleep
The water is warm till you discover how deep
I wasnt jumping, for me it was a fall
Its a long way down to nothing at all

Youve got to get yourself together
Youve got stuck in a moment
And you cant get out of it
Dont say that later will be better
Now youre stuck in a moment
And you cant get out of it

And if the night runs over
And if the day wont last
And if our way should falter
Along the stony pass
Its just a moment
This time will pass

High higher than the sun
You shoot me from a gun
I need you to elevate me here

A corner of your lips
Is the orbit of your hips
Eclipse
You elevate my soul

Ive got no self control
Been living like a mole now
Going down excavation
Higher now in the sky
You make me feel like I can fly
So high
Elevation


Strung out like a guitar
Maybe you can educate my mind
Explain all these controls
Cant sing but Ive got soul
The goal is elevation

A mole
Digging in a hole
Digging up my soul now
Going down excavation

Higher now
In the sky
You make me feel like I can fly
So high
Elevation

You can reach
But you can't grab it
You can hold it, control it
No, you can't bag it


You can push
But you can't direct it circulate, regulate, oh no
You cannot connect it


You know you're chewing bubblegum
You know what that is
But you still want some
You just can't get enough
Of that lovie dovie stuff


You get confused
But you know it
Yeah, you hurt for it, work for it, love
You don't always show it


Let's go
Let's go
Discotheque


Let's go
Let's go
Let's go
Discotheque



You want to be the one
But you know you're someone else instead
You want to be the song
Be the song that you're hearing, yeah


Love...
(heaven in your heart)
(you want heaven in your heart)
Love...
(you want heaven in your heart)
(you want heaven in your heart)
(you want heaven in your heart)
Love...


It's not a trick
'cause you can't learn it
It's the way you don't pay, that's okay
'cause you can't earn it


You know you're chewing bubblegum
You know what that is
But you still want some
You just can't get enough
Of that lovie dovie stuff


Let's go
Let's go
Discotheque


Go go
Go go
Discotheque


You're looking for the one
But you know you're somewhere else instead
You want to be the song
Be the song that you hear in your head


Love...
Love...


But you take what you can get
'cause it's all that you can find
But you know there's something more
Tonight, tonight, tonight


And oh my...how so...


I...i can't get
I can't...not enough
I can't get in
I can't...not enough
I can't get in
I can't...not enough
Not enough
I can't...i can't...i
I can't get in...not...not


Love...

I like to smile
But I like to mostly stay with you
I like good times
But I can't feel this without you
By my song
The heart is in the place
I sing this song
Probably so


If I could sigh
I'd tell the world I'd felt with you
I like the time
I like the feeling when
I feel you in my arms
I'll take you in my hand
I'll let you go
Somebody save me
Somebody save me


Sing it
Sing my, sing my song
We sing the same old song loud


Smile...though your heart breaks in two
Touch me...when will I be with you


I like good times
But I can feel it's going wrong
You sing the same old song
Now I think it's time to get it right


Sing it out, sing out...
Sing this same old song


If I could swim, I'd swim in circles
If I could drown, I'd, I'd drown with you
If I had enough of my life
I can't tell
If I had enough of you

I want to reach out over the Loch
And feel your hand across the water
Walk with you along an unapproved road
Not looking over my shoulder

I want to see, and I want to hear
To understand your fears
But we're north and south of the river

I've been doing it wrong all of my life
This holy town has turned me over
A young man running from what he didn't understand
The wind from the Loch just get colder, colder

There was a badness that had its way
But love wasn't lost, love will have its day
North and south of the river
North and south of the river

Can we stop playing these old tattoos
Darling I don't have the answer
I want to meet you where you are
I don't need you to surrender

'Cause there's no feeling that's so alone
As when the one you're hurting is your own
North and south of the river
North and south of the river
North and south of the river

Some high ground is not worth taking
Some connections are not worth making
There's an old church bell no longer ringing
Some old songs are not worth bringing
North...
(Higher ground is not worth taking)
North and south of the river

And you know its 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...

Ill be there
Ill be there...
Tonight
A high road
A high road out from here

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

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

Oh, oh, oh...on borderland we run...
And still we run
We run and dont look back
Ill be there
Ill be there
Tonight
Tonight

Ill be there tonight...i believe
Ill be there...somehow
Ill be there...tonight
Tonight

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

Tonight well 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
Lights in the distance

Oh dont sorrow, no dont weep
For tonight, at last
I am coming home
I am coming home

All is quiet on new years day,
A world in white gets underway,
And I want to be with you,
Be with you night and day.
Nothing changes on new years 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,
Newspapers say, it says its true.
And we can break through,
Though torn in two we can be one.
I will begin again, I will begin again.
Oh and maybe the time is right,
Oh maybe tonight.
I will be with you again.
I will be with you again.

And so we are told this is the golden age
And gold is the reason for the wars we wage.
Though I want to be with you,
To be with you night and day.
Nothing changes on new years day.

Havent seen you in quite a while
I was down the hold, just passing time
Last time we met was a low-lit room
We were as close together as bride and groom
We ate the food, we drank the wine
Everybody having a good time
Except you
You were talking about the end of the world

I took the money, I spiked your drink
You miss too much these days if you stop to think
You led me on with those innocent eyes
And you know I love the element of surprise
In the garden I was playing the tart
I kissed your lips and broke your heart
You, you were acting like it was the end of the world

In my dream I was drowning my sorrows
But my sorrows they learned to swim
Surrounding me, going down on me
Spilling over the brim
In waves of regret, waves of joy
I reached out for the one I tried to destroy
You, you said youd wait until the end of the world.
(for wim wenders)

Darkness falls and she
Will take me by the hand
Take me to some twilight land
Where all but love is gray
Where I can find my way
Without her as my guide

Night falls, Im cast beneath her spell
Daylight falls, our heaven turns to hell
Am I left to burn
And burn eternally
Shes a mystery to me

Shes a mystery girl
Shes a mystery girl
Shes a mystery girl
Shes a mystery girl

In the night of love
Words tangled in her hair
Words soon to disappear
A love so sharp it cut
Like a switchblade to my heart
Words tearing me apart

She tears again my bleeding heart
I want to run, shes pulling me apart
Fallen angel cries
Then I just melt away
Shes a mystery girl

Shes a mystery girl
Shes a mystery girl
Shes a mystery girl
Shes a mystery girl

Haunted by her side
Its a darkness in her eyes
That so enslaves me
And if my love is blind
Then I dont want to see
Shes a mystery to me

Night falls, Im cast beneath her spell
Daylight comes, our heaven turns to hell
Am I left to burn
And burn eternally
Shes a mystery to me

Shes a mystery girl
Shes a mystery girl
Shes a mystery girl
Shes a mystery girl

Shes...a mystery girl
Mystery girl
Shes a mystery girl
Shes...a mystery girl
Shes a mystery girl
Shes a mystery girl
Shes a mystery girl

Written by Woodie Guthrie

One, two, three, four

Well Jesus was a man
Who traveled through the land
A hard working man and brave
Well he said to the rich 'Give your money to the poor'
For they layed Jesus Christ in his grave
Hale, halelujah
Hale, halelujah
Hale, halelujah
For they layed Jesus Christ is his grave

Well he went to the preacher
He went to the law
And told them all the same
He said sell all your jewelery and give it to the poor
For they layed Jesus Christ in his grave
Hale, halelujah
Hale, halelujah
Hale, halelujah
For they layed Jesus Christ in his grave

When Jesus came to town all the working folks around
Believed what he did say
Well the bankers and the preachers
They nailed him on a cross
For they layed Jesus Christ in his grave

And [hard] working people
They followed him around
They sung and shouted gay
Well the cops and the soldiers
They nailed him in the head
And they layed Jesus Christ in his grave
Oh, hale, halelujah
Hale, halelujah
Hale, halelujah
For they layed Jesus Christ in his grave

Hale, halelujah
Hale, halelujah
Hale, halelujah
For they layed Jesus Christ in his grave

Well this song was written in New York City
A rich man, preacher and slave
Well if Jesus was to preach while he preached in Galilee
They would lay Jesus Christ in his grave
One, two, three, four!

Hale, halelujah
Hale, halelujah
Hale, halelujah
For they layed Jesus Christ in his grave
Hale, halelujah
Hale, halelujah
Hale, halelujah
For they layed Jesus Christ in his grave

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 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
The best you can do is to fake it
Sometimes you can't make it on your own

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 gods country
Sad eyes crooked crosses...in gods country
Set me alight
Well punch a hole right through the night
Everyday the dreamers die
She is liberty
And she comes to rescue me
Hope, faith, her vanity
The greatest gift is gold
Sleep comes like a drug...in gods country
Sad eyes crooked crosses...in gods 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

Here today
And gone tomorrow
Crack the bone, get to the marrow
To be the bee
And the flower
Before the sweetness turns to sour

What we have we're gonna keep...Always
What we've lost we don't need...Always
What is it that won't let you sleep...Always

Be the arrow
And the target
Put your head over the parapet
Be uncool
Yes, be awkward
And don't look in the obvious place
The soul needs beauty for a soul mate(???)

Get down off your holy cloud...Always
God will not deal with the proud...Always
Well if you dream then dream out loud...Always
Eternally yours...Always

I want you
I want you
I want you

Touching the other side
I wanted to be in love(???)
I wanted to call(???)

You say come to know yourself...Always
Don't find yourself in someone else...Always
And always wear a safety belt...Always
Wait for me I'm running late...Always
This is the moment that we share...For always
Turn each song into a prayer...Always

Now and forever
For always
For always
For always
For always

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 a 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
Take this mouth
So quick to criticise
Take this mouth
Give it a kiss

Yahweh, Yahweh
Always pain before a child is born
Yahweh, Yahweh
Still I'm waiting for the dawn

Still waiting for the dawn, the sun is coming up
The 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

In new york you can forget
Forget how to sit still
Tell yourself you will stay in
But its down to alphaville

New york
New york new york

My cell is ringing
No ID
I need to know who's calling

My gardens overgrown
I go out on my belly crawling
I got CCTV pornography CNBC
I got the nightly news
To get to know the enemy

All I want is a picture of you
All I want is to get right next to you
All I want is your face in a locket
Picture in my pocket
I take a pill to stop it

I know these fast cars
Won't do me no good

I'm going nowhere where I am it is a lot of fun
They're in the dessert to dismantle an atomic bomb
I want you shadow box
Check the stocks
I'm in detox
Want the lot of what you got
What you got can make this stop

All I want is a picture of you
All I want is to get right next to you
All I want is your face in a locket
Picture in my pocket
I take a pill to stop it

I know these fast cars
Won't do me no good

Don't you worry about your mind
Don't you worry about your mind
Don't you worry about your mind
Don't you worry about your mind

You should worry about the day
That the pain it goes away
You know i miss mine sometimes

There is no fiction that will truely fit the situation
I'm documenting every detail every conversation
Not used 2 talkin 2 somebody in a body
Somebody in a body
Somebody in a body

Nobody else here baby
No one here to blame
No one to point the finger
Its just you and me and the rain

Nobody made you do it
No one put words in your mouth
Nobody here taking orders
When love took a train heading south

Its the blind leading the blond
Its the stuff, its the stuff of country songs

Hey if God will send his angels
And if God will send a sign
And if God will send his angels
Would everything be alright

God has got his phone off the hook, babe
Would he even pick up if he could
Its been a while since we saw that child
Hanging round this neighbourhood
You see his mother dealing in a doorway
See father christmas with a begging bowl
Jesus sisters eyes are a blister
The high street never looked so low

Its the blind leading the blond
Its the cops collecting for the cons
So where is the hope and where is the faith
And the love...whats that you say to me
Does love...light up your christmas tree
The next minute youre blowing a fuse
And the cartoon network turns into the news

If God will send his angels
And if God will send a sign
And if God will send his angels
Where do we go
Where do we go

Jesus never let me down
You know jesus used to show me the score
Then they put jesus in show business
Now its hard to get in the door

Its the stuff, its the stuff of country songs
But I guess it was something to go on

If God will send his angels
I sure could use them here right now
Well if God would send his angels

I dont want to lie
(where do we go)
I dont want to have a feel for the song
And I want to love, and i...
(where do we go)
And I want to feel alone

Hey sister love
Hey sister soul
Hey, only love
Can turn me 'round tonight.
Hey sister love
Save my soul
Save my soul

Hold on to love
Hold on to love
Love won't let you go
Love won't let you go.
Hold onto love
See the sunshine in her song.

Hey sister love, hey sweet surrender

She comes like carnival
She is the big wheel
She turned my head around
She turned my head around
She is the speedway
She is the slipstream
She is coming 'round.

Hold on to love, hold on to love
Love won't let you go
Hold on to love, hold on to love
See the sunlight in her song
See the sunlight in her song.

She is the gun fire
She is the car crash
She is the avalanche
She is the thunder
She is the waves
And she pulls me under.

I love you 'cause I need to
Not because I need you
I love you 'cause I understand
That God has given me your hand
It holds me in a tiny fist
And still I need your kiss.

Hold on to love
Oh, see the sunlight in her song.
See the sunlight in her song, yeah!

Tonight the moon is playing tricks again
Im feeling sea sick again
The whole world could just dissolve
Into a glass of water

Ive been good cause I know you dont want me to
Do you really want me to be blue as you
Its her daylight that gets me through

Weve been here before
Last time you scratched at my door
The moon was naked and cold
I was like a two year old
Who just wanted more

If you wear that velvet dress
If you wear that velvet dress

Tonight the moon has drawn its curtains
Its a private show
No one else going to know
Im wanting

Sunlight, sunlight fills my room
Its sharp and its clear
But nothing at all like the moon

Its okay, the struggle for things not to say
I never listened to you anyway
And I got my own hands to pray

But if you wear that velvet dress
But if you wear that velvet dress

Tonight the moon is a mirrorball
Light flickers from across the hall
Wholl catch the star when it falls

If you wear that velvet dress

Clannad

Hard to tell
Or recognize a sign
To see me through
A warning sign

First the thunder
Then the storm
Torn asunder
In the storm
(bono

Satisfied
If the past it will not lie
The future, you and i
Get blown away)

In a lifetime in a lifetime

And as the rain it falls
Heavy in my heart
Believe the light in you
Faded and worn
Torn asunder in the storm
(bono
Begin again
As the storm breaks through
So the light shines in you
Without color
Torn asunder in the storm

Unless the sound has faded from
Your soul
Unless it disappears)

First the thunder
Then the storm
Torn asunder
In the storm
(bono:
Selfish storm
Hold on the inside
One life
In the storm)

In a lifetime
In a lifetime
In a lifetime
In a lifetime

See the sunrise over her skin
Dont change it
See the sunrise over her skin
Dawn changes everything

And the delta sun burns bright and violet

Mississippi and the cotton wool heat
Sixty-six the highway that speaks
Of deserts dry
Of cold grey valleys
Of golden sunny heights
Of bright shining cities

In this heartland
In this heartland
In this heartland
Heaven knows this is a heartland

See the sunrise over her skin
She feels like water on my hand
Freeway like a river cuts through this land
Into the side of love
Like a burning spear
And the poison rain
Brings a flood of fear
Through the ghost-ranch hills
Death valley waters
In the towers of steel
Belief goes on and on

In this heartland
In this heartland
In this heartland
Heaven knows this is a heartland

You know he says Im getting nowhere.
I wrote this letter hoping to get someplace soon.
I want to get up when I wake up.
When I get up,
I fall down

You let him wake up.
You let him tell the story.
You wrote the letter,
Said you were gonna get there someday.
Gonna walk in the sun, and the wind, and the rain.
Never walk back again.
Now you fall down.
You fall down.

You let him say something.
You let him say Im sorry.
Youre gonna get better.
You better not leave me here anyway.
I want to get up when you wake up.
When I get up,
I fall down.
Im falling down.

Ive run myself.
I fall down when you fall down.

If Coke is a mystery
Michael Jackson...History
If beauty is truth
And surgery the fountain of youth
What am I to do
Have I got the gift to get me through
The gates of that mansion
If OJ is more than a drink
And a Big Mac bigger than you think
If perfume is an obsession
And talk shows, confession
What have we got to lose
Another push and we'll be through
The gates of that mansion
I never bought a Lotto ticket
I never parked in anyone's space
The banks feel like cathedrals
I guess casinos took their place
Love, come on down
Don't wake her, she'll come around
Chance is a kind of religion
Where you're damned for plain hard luck
I never did see that movie
I never did read that book
Love, come on down
Let my numbers come around
Don't know if I can hold on
Don't know if I'm that strong
Don't know if I can wait that long
'Til the colours come flashing
And the lights go on
Then will there be no time for sorrow
Then will there be no time for shame
And though I can't say why
I know I've got to believe
We'll go diving in that pool
It's who you know that gets you through
The gates of the Playboy mansion
The Playboy mansion
The Playboy mansion
Then will there be no time for sorrow
Then will there be no time for shame
Then will there be no time for sorrow
Then will there be no time for shame

My heart is longing for you, love
I cared for you more then you knew
Though you have broken each promise
Yesterday's dreams are untrue

Alone, I'll be yearning tomorrow
When sunshine brings memories of you
My sunshine will turn into sorrow
As a dream of the love you once knew

Why should I always be lonesome
When sunny and blue are the skies
While shadows and loneliness linger
I'm dreaming with tears in my eyes

Why did you promise me sweetheart
Never to leave me alone
Yesterday's sunshine is faded
You're love wasn't true like my own

Alone, I'll be yearning tomorrow
When sunshine brings memories of you
My sunshine will turn into sorrow
As a dream of the love we once knew

Why should I always be lonesome
When sunny and blue are the skies
While shadows and loneliness linger
I'm dreaming with tears in my eyes

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

Some folks are born made to wave the flag
Yeah, the red, white, and blue
When the band plays hail to the chief
Yeah, theyll point the cannon at you

It aint me, it aint me
Im no millionaires son
It aint me, it aint me
I aint no fortunate one

Some folks are born silver spoon in hand
Well, they help themselves, yeah
When the taxman comes to the door
House looks a like a rummage sale

It aint me, it aint me
I aint no millionaires son
It aint me, it aint me
I aint no fortunate one, no

Some folks inherit star spangled eyes
Yeah, when they send you down to war
Well, when you ask them how much you should give
Yeah, its always more, more, more

It aint me, it aint me
I aint no senators son
It aint me, it aint me
Im no fortunate one

It aint me, it aint me
I aint no military son
It aint me, it aint me
I aint no fortunate son
Take it away...

My mama

Into the heart of a child.
I stay awhile, I can go back.

Into the heart of a child.
I can smile.
I can go there.

Into the heart of a child.
Into the heart of a child.
I can go back.
I can stay awhile.
Into the heart.

And Ill coming to say goodbye
Took inside and maids by buck-bye
More than dreams and the bottom come
When she would come back, right and well

And if you catch me Ill take your time
Ride on home in mondays own
Of this coldness in my heart
And this whole world riding home

Sweet baby jane, sweet baby jane
Sweet baby jane, sweet baby jane

And if you call, Ill come running
And if you ask, I will be given
And if you need me, I will be there
When you rush when the feelings gone
Ill give you hope, Ill give you hate
By the burdens own, by the sun but it burns on

From the brightest star
Comes the blackest hole
You had so much to offer
Why did you offer your soul?
I was there for you baby
When you needed my help
Would you deny for others
What you demand for yourself?

Cool down mama, cool off
Cool down mama, cool off

You speak of signs and wonders
I need something other
I would believe if I was able
But I'm waiting on the crumbs from your table

You were pretty as a picture
It was all there to see
Then your face caught up with your psychology
With a mouth full of teeth
You ate all your friends
And you broke every heart thinking every heart mends

You speak of signs and wonders
But I need something other
I would believe if I was able
But I'm waiting on the crumbs from your table

Where you live should not decide
Whether you live or whether you die
Three to a bed
Sister Ann, she said
Dignity passes by

And you speak of signs and wonders
But I need something other
I would believe if I was able
I'm waiting on the crumbs from your table

I see a red door
And I want it painted black
No colors anymore
I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by
Dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head
Until my darkness goes

I see a line of cars
And theyre all painted black
With flowers and my love
Both never to come back
I see them turn their heads
Quickly look away
Like a newborn baby
It just happens every day

I look inside my self
See my heart is back
I see my red door
And I want it painted black
Maybe then Ill fade away
And not have to face the facts
Its not easy facing up
When your whole world is black

No more will my green sea
Go turn a deeper blue
I could not foresee
This thing happening to you.
If I look hard enough
Into the setting sun,
My love will laugh with me
Before the morning comes

(wanna see...? ? ? )

Its time to go again
To your blue room
Got some questions to ask of you
In your blue room

The air is clean
Your skin is clear
Ive had enough fun hanging round here
Its a different kind of conversation
Your blue room

Saw me coming
In outside
Saw me coming
Somewhere I can hide

And time is a string of pearls...your blue room
(Im a swinger)
See the future just hanging there...your blue room
A new frame, a new perspective
Looking down on my objectives
Your instructions whatever their directions
Your blue room

Saw me coming
East by the moon
Saw me coming
Can you feel

(its allright)

Your blue room

One day Ill be back...your blue room
Yeah, I hope I remember where its at...your blue room

We see me slide
Wont you give me a home
So much for change

Zooming in
Zooming out
Nothing I cant do without
A lens to see it all up close
Magnifying what no one knows
Never in company
Never alone
No car alarm
No cellular phone

In a little while
I will blow by every breeze
Friday night running
To sunday on my knees

That girl that girl
Shes mine
And Ive know her since
Since you were a little girl
With spanish eyes
Oh when I saw her
In a pram they pushed her by

Wake up
The dawn of another dull day
Take up
Your dreams and on your way
Oh oh ooh

Daylight
Mother stands in the hall
Last night
Head against the wall
Oh oh ooh

When night turns to day
And the children come out to play
Another day

Stop, shake out
They came my way
Oh oh ooh...

Boy, salute in a street uniform
Toy, soldier ripped and torn
Oh oh ooh

When night turns to day
And the children come out to play
Another day

Stop, shout
They came my way
Oh oh ooh

Lay down
Lay down
Lay your sweet lovely on the ground
Lay your love on the track
We're gonna break the monster's back
Yes we are...
Lay down your treasure
Lay it down now brother
You don't have time
For a jealous lover

As you enter this life
I pray you depart
With a wrinkled face
And a brand new heart

I don't know if I can take it
I'm not easy on my knees
Here's my heart you can break it

I need some release, release, release

We need
Love and peace
Love and peace

Lay down
Lay down your guns
All your daughters of Zion
All your Abraham sons
I don't know if I can make it
I'm not easy on my knees
Here's my heart and you can break it
I need some release, release, release

We need
Love and peace
Love and peace

Baby don't fight
We can talk this thing through
It's not a big problem
It's just me and you
You can call or I'll phone
The TV is still on
But the sound is turned down
And the troops on the ground
Are about to dig in

And I wonder where is the love?
Where is the love?
Where is the love?
Where is the love?
Love and peace

I was a sailor, I was lost at sea
I was under the waves
Before love rescued me
I was a fighter, I could turn on a thread
Now I stand accused of the things Ive said

Love comes to town Im gonna jump that train
When love comes to town Im gonna catch that flame
Maybe I was wrong to ever let you down
But I did what I did before love came to town

I used to make love under a red sunset
I was making promises I was soon to forget
She was pale as the lace of her wedding gown
But I left her standing before love came to town

I ran into a juke joint when I heard a guitar scream
The notes were turning blue, I was dazing in a dream
As the music played I saw my life turn around
That was the day before love came to town

When love comes to town Im gonna jump that train
When love comes to town Im gonna catch that flame
Maybe I was wrong to ever let you down
But I did what I did before love came to town

[repeat chorus]

I was there when they crucified my lord
I held the scabbard when the soldier drew his sword
I threw the dice when they pierced his side
But Ive seen love conquer the great divide

When love comes to town Im gonna catch that train
When love comes to town Im gonna catch that flame
Maybe I was wrong to ever let you down
But I did what I did before love came to town

White flash, under my own love.
Tell me of my own.
White flash come though my own life.
Telling these things.
And I weary them.
And I believe in you.

White flash see the sky,
And it turns inside from you.
She wont turn my back.
And I know that it makes me blue.
And you hope.
And your sky is feeling blue.
And your heart, so cold when Im with you.
And you feel, like no one told you to.
And your time was on your side.
Dont talk to me.

You know, like no one told you how,
But you know the king that howls has howled.
But you feel like sentimental.
But you dont care without sharing in your heart.

But theres no hope, go to sleep.
So hope in sleep.
I breaking through for you and me.
And you dont.
No one told you to.
And you found out
Where you were going to.

You were through with me,
But I know you should be back for more
You know, and no one told you so.
And you know the sky,
And its shade of blue.
And you walk, you walk to let go.
You pull from the outside, tell me
Dont fade away.
Drop me down but dont break me.
In your sleep.
Its in your heart and mine.
The whole sea is dark.
Loving is on your side and walking through.
So let me in your heart,
You beat is like something from you.
They lost it.
So stay (sad) over midnight.
Oh stay (sad) under the sky.
And you know, and no one told you how.
And you cared,
And no one told you tried.
And your heart, it lift out from the side.
And the rain beats down.
And the shame beats down.
And this rain keeps on coming down.
And this time is right.
Dont let them push you by,
Youre going to go join god.
And if someone ask you why,
You tell them some old lie.
Give away some ole lie.
You know, and no one told you why.
And you feel,
Like you pretend you can
Go you live.
Dont you leave
Dont leave out part of me that I can feel.
Like I can feel me fall.
I cant hold on,
See that flaw.
Let me feel.
Let the pieces only flow.

6.00 in the morning
Youre the last to hear the warning
Youve been trying to throw your arms around the world
Youve been falling off the sidewalk
Your lips move but you cant talk
Tryin to throw your arms around the world

Im gonna run to you...run to you...be still
Im gonna run to you...run to you...woman I will

Sunrise like a nosebleed
Your head hurts and you cant breathe
You been tryin to throw you arms around the world
How far you gonna go
Before you lose your way back home?
Youve been trying to throw your arms around the world

Im gonna run to you...run to you...woman be still
Im gonna run to you...run to you...woman I will

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 tryin to throw his arms around the world

Im gonna run to you...run to you...woman be still
Im gonna run to you...run to you...woman I will

Nothin much to say I guess
Just the same as all the rest
Been trying to throw your arms around the world
A woman needs a man
Like a fish needs a bicycle
When youre tryin to throw your arms around the world

Im gonna run to you...run to you
Im gonna run to you...run to you
Im gonna run to you...run to you
Woman be still...woman be still
Be still...woman be still
Woman I will

If you go then go with me
Wild honey
Wont you take me take me please
Wild honey

Yeah swinging through the trees
Wild honey
Wild wild wild

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 depend's 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 satelite 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...then 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

Back to the cold restless streets at night
I talk to myself about tomorrow night.
Walls of white protest, a gravestone in name
Who is it now? its always the same.

Who is it now? who calls me inside
Are the leaves on the trees just a living disguise?
I walk the sweet rain tragicomedy
Ill walk home again to the street melody.

But I know oh no
But I know oh no
I know

Shadows and tall trees
Shadows and tall trees

Life through a window, a discoloured pain
Mrs. browns washing is always the same
I walk the sweet rain tragicomedy
Ill walk home again to the street melody.

But I know oh no
But I know oh no
I know.

(out there)
Do you feel in me, anything redeeming,
Any worthwhile feeling
Is life like a tightrope? hanging on my ceiling.

But I know oh no
But I know oh no
I know

Shadows and tall trees ....

Love dont need to find a way
You find your own way
I forget that I cant stay
And so I say that
All roads lead to where you are
All roads lead to where you are

The seed is spilled, the bed defiled
For you, a virgin bride
Hide yourself in someone else
Dont find yourself in me

I cant lift you up again
Love comes tumbling down again

Love dont need to find a way
You find your o
