Takes a second to say goodbye Say goodbye, oh, oh, oh It takes a second to say goodbye Say goodbye, oh, oh, oh, say bye bye... Where you going to now... Lightning flashes across the sky East to west, do or die Like a thief in the night See the world by candlelight. Fall, rise and...Fall, rise and... In an apartment on Time Square You can assemble them anywhere Held to ransom, hell to pay A revolution everyday USSR, DDR, London, New York, Peking It's the puppets, It's the puppets Who pull the strings Fall, rise and...Fall, rise and... Say goodbye, say goodbye Say goodbye, say goodbye Say goodbye It takes a second to say goodbye Say goodbye, oh, oh, oh Push the button and pull the plug Say goodbye, oh, oh, oh Fall, rise and...Fall, rise and... And they're doing the atomic bomb Do they know where the dance comes from Yes they're doing the atomic bomb They want you to sing along Say goodbye, say goodbye Say goodbye Say goodbye.Shadows And Tall Trees
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 It's always the same Who is it now Who calls me inside Are the leaves on the trees Just living disguise I walk sweet rain tragicomedy I'll walk home again to the street melody But I know, oh no But I know, oh no But I know... Shadows and tall trees Shadows and tall trees Shadows and tall trees Shadows and tall trees Life through a window Discoloured pain Mrs. Brown's washing is always the same I walk street rain tragicomedy I'll walk home again to the street melody But I know, oh no But I know, oh no But I know... (Out there) Do you feel in me... Anything redeeming Any worthwhile feeling Is love like a tightrope Hanging from the ceiling But I know, oh no But I know, oh no But I know... Shadows and Tall Trees...Silver And Gold
In the shit house a shotgun Praying hands hold me down Only the hunter was hunted In this tin can town Tin can town No stars in the black night Looks like the sky fell down No sun in the daylight Looks like it's chained to the ground Chained to the ground The warden said The exit is sold If you want a way out Silver and gold Broken back to the ceiling Broken nose to the floor I scream at the silence, it's crawling It crawls under the door There's a rope around my neck And there's a trigger in your gun Jesus say something I am someone, I am someone I am someone Captain and kings In the ships hold They came to collect Silver and gold Silver and gold Seen the coming and going Seen them captains and the kings See them navy blue uniforms See them bright and shiny things Bright shiny things The temperature is rising The fever white hot Mister, I ain't got nothing But it's more than you got Chains no longer bind me Not the shackles at my feet Outside are the prisoners Inside the free Set them free Set them free A prize fighter in a corner is told Hit where it hurts Silver and gold Silver and gold [spoken part follows] # Yep, silver and gold... This song was written in a hotel room in New York # city 'round about the time a friend or ours, little Steven, was puting # together a record of artists against apartheid. This is a song written # about a man in a shanty town outside of Johannesburg. A man who's sick of # looking down the barrel of white South Africa. A man who is at the point # where he is ready to take up arms against his oppressor. A man who has # lost faith in the peacemakers of the west while they argue and while they # fail to support a man like bishop Tutu and his request for economic # sanctions against South Africa. Am I buggin' you? I don't mean to bug ya... Okay Edge, play the blues...Slow Dancing
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 don't know a man Search for himself in his lover's eyes No I don't 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 don't 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...Slug
Don't want to lose my shirt Don't want to dig the dirt Don't want you to get hurt Can't help but I'm a flirt Don't want to take your drugs Don't want to be a slug Don't want to overdress Don't want to make a mess Don't want you to confess Not under duress Don't want be untrue I want to be with you Don't want to lose my nerve Don't want to throw the curve Don't want to make you swerve Don't want what I deserve Don't want to change the frame Don't want to be a pain Don't wanna stay the sameSo Cruel
We crossed the line Who pushed who over It doesn't matter to you It matters to me We're cut adrift We're still floating I'm only hanging on To watch you go down My love I disappeared in you You disappeared from me I gave you everything you ever wanted It wasn't what you wanted The men who love you, you hate the most They pass through you like a ghost They look for you but your spirit is in the air Baby, you're nowhere Oh...love...you say in love there are no rules Oh...love...sweetheart... You're so cruel Desparation is a tender trap It gets you every time You put your lips to her lips To stop the lie Her skin is pale like God's only dove Screams like an angel for your love Then she makes you watch her from above And you need her like a drug Oh...love...you say in love there are no rules Oh...love...sweetheart... You're so cruel She wears my love like a see-through dress Her lips say one thing Her movements something else Oh love...like a screaming flower Love...dying every hour...love You don't know if it's fear or desire Danger the drug that takes you higher Head in heaven, fingers in the mire Her heart is racing, you can't keep up The night is bleeding like a cut Between the horses of love and lust We are trampled underfoot Oh...love...you say in love there are no rules Oh...love...sweetheart... You're so cruel Oh...love...to stay with you I'd be a fool Sweetheart...you're so cruelSome Days Are Better Than Others
Some days are dry, some days are leaky Some days come clean, other days are sneaky Some days take less, but most days take more Some slip through your fingers and onto the floor Some days you're quick, but most days you're speedy Some days you use more force than is necessary Some days just drop in on us Some days are better than others Some days it all adds up And what you got is not enough Some days are better than others Some days are slippy, other days sloppy Some days you can't stand the sight of a puppy Your skin is white but you think you're a brother Some days are better than others Some days you wake up with her complaining Some sunny days you wish it was raining Some days are sulky, some days have a grin And some days have bouncers and won't let you in Some days you hear a voice Taking you to another place Some days are better than others Some days are honest, some days are not Some days you're thankful for what you've got Some days you wake up in the army And some days it's the enemy Some days are work, most days you're lazy Some days you feel like a bit of a baby Lookin' for Jesus and His mother Some days are better than others Some days you feel ahead You're making sense of what she said Some days are better than others Some days you hear a voice Taking you to another place Some days are better than othersA Sort Of Homecoming
And you know it's time to go Through the sleet and driving snow Across the fields of mourning Light in the distance And you hunger for the time Time to heal, desire, time And your earth moves beneath Your own dream landscape Oh, oh, oh... On borderland we run... I'll be there I'll be there... Tonight A high road A high road out from here The city walls are all pulled 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 don't look back I'll be there I'll be there Tonight Tonight I'll be there tonight...I believe I'll be there...somehow I'll be there...tonight Tonight The wind will crack in winter time This bomb-blast lightning waltz No spoken words, just a scream... Tonight we'll build a bridge Across the sea and land See the sky, the burning rain She will die and live again Tonight And your heart beats so slow Through the rain and fallen snow Across the fields of mourning Light's in the distance Oh don't sorrow, no don't weep For tonight, at last I am coming home I am coming homeSpanish Eyes
Wey hey hey, baby hang on Wey hey hey, baby hang on Empty heart, beat tight as a drum Said empty love, she'd shine like a song Wey hey hey, baby hang on (to anything) Our love shines like rain In those spanish eyes Spanish eyes Wey hey hey, here she comes She comes in colors You know she gonna turn the daylight on 'cause I love the way you talk to me And I love the way you walk on me And I need you more Oh, than you need me Our love shines like rain In those spanish eyes Spanish eyes I'll cross the world for green and gold But it's those Spanish eyes That get me home...home again Wey hey hey, baby hang on Wey hey hey, you know that The night is young Dazzled by lights that shine in your eyes I'm standing in the shadows And wait for the night Forever in fever, forever in heat You pick me up to put me out on the street Wey hey hey, baby hang on, hang on Wey hey hey, baby hang on, hang on 'cause I love the way you talk to me And I love the way you're mean to me And I need youThe Star Spangled Banner
--- instrumental ---Staring At The Sun
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 blindStay (Faraway, So Close!)
Green light, Seven Eleven You stop in for a pack of cigarettes You don't smoke, don't even want to Hey now, check your change Dressed up like a car crash Your wheels are turning but you're upside down You say when he hits you, you don't mind Because when he hurts you, you feel alive Hey babe, is that what it is Red lights, gray morning You stumble out of a hole in the ground A vampire or a victim It 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 groundStories For Boys
There's a place I go And I am far away There's a TV show And I can grow Sometimes the hero takes me Sometimes I don't let go Hello hello There's a picture book With colored photographs There's a comic strip That makes me laugh Sometimes the lady takes me Sometimes I don't let go Hello hello Stories for boys...stories for boys Stories for boys...stories for boys Stories for boys... There's a place I go And it's a part of me There's a radio And I will crawl Sometimes the hero takes me Sometimes I can't let go Hello hello Stories for boys...Stranger In A Strange Land
Stranger Stranger in a stange land He looked at me like I Was the one who should run We asked him to smile for a photograph Waited a while to see if we could Make him laugh A soldier asked for a cigarette His smiling face I can't forget He looked like you across the street But that's a long way here And I wish you were here And I wish you were here Stranger A stranger in a strange land He look at me like I Was the one who should run I watched as he watched us Get back on the bus I watched the way it was The way it was when he was with us And I really don't mind Sleeping on the floor But I couldn't sleep after what I saw I wrote this letter to tell you The way I feel I wish you were here I wish you were here To see what I could see To hear And I wish you were hereSunday Bloody Sunday

Broken bottles under children's feet Bodies strewn across the dead end street But I won't heed the battle call It puts my back up Puts my back up against the wall Sunday, Bloody Sunday Sunday, Bloody Sunday Sunday, Bloody Sunday And the battle's just begun There's many lost, but tell me who has won The trench is dug within our hearts And mothers, children, brothers, sisters Torn apart Sunday, Bloody Sunday Sunday, Bloody Sunday How long...
