Jesus, Jesus help me I'm 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 it's all gonna be Wake up, wake up dead man Wake up, wake up dead man Jesus, I'm waiting here boss I know you're looking out for us But maybe your hands aren't free Your father, He made the world in seven He's 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 they'll tell you what to do Listen over the rhythm that's 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 there's 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 manWalk To The Water
She said it wasn't cold She left her coat at home that day She wore canvas shoes White canvas shoes Around her neck She wore a silver necklace It was given to me by my father, she said It was given to me She took the back way home Passed the lights and the summer hill Turned left onto the north strand And on, and towards the sea He said he was an artist But he really painted billboards In large capital letters Large capital letters He was telling jokes Nobody else would listen to him I saw you that day Your lips were cherry red Your legs were crossed Your arms wide open Your hair was coloured gold Like a field of corn You were blown by the wind You were blown by the wind Walk, walk, walk...to the water Walk with me a while Walk, walk, walk...to the roadside Walk me in the light A room in the white hotel Sea facing views A man with a suitcase Full of things he doesn't need I'm looking through your window I'm walking through your doorway I'm on the outside Let me in Let me love you Let me love you Let me... Walk, walk, walk...to the water Walk with me...yeah Walk, walk, walk...to the roadside Walk with me againThe Wanderer
I went out walking Through streets paved with gold Lifted some stones Saw the skin and bones Of a city without a soul I went out walking Under an atomic sky Where the ground won't turn And the rain it burns Like the tears when I said goodbye Yeah I went with nothing Nothing but the thought of you I went wandering I went drifting Through the capitals of tin Where men can't walk Or freely talk And sons turn their fathers in I stopped outside a church house Where the citizens like to sit They say they want the kingdom But they don't want God in it I went out riding Down that old eight lane I passed by a thousand signs Looking for my own name I went with nothing But the thought you'd be there too Looking for you I went out there In search of experience To taste and to touch And to feel as much As a man can Before he repents I went out searching Looking for one good man A spirit who would not bend or break Who would sit at his father's right hand I went out walking With a bible and a gun The word of God lay heavy on my heart I was sure I was the one Now Jesus, don't you wait up Jesus, I'll be home soon Yeah I went out for the papers Told her I'd be back by noon Yeah I left with nothing But the thought you'd be there too Looking for you Yeah I left with nothing Nothing but the thought of you I went wanderingWhen Love Comes To Town
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 I've said Love comes to town I'm gonna jump that train When love comes to town I'm 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 I'm gonna jump that train When love comes to town I'm 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 I've seen love conquer the great divide When love comes to town I'm gonna catch that train When love comes to town I'm gonna catch that flame Maybe I was wrong to ever let you down But I did what I did before love came to townWhere Did It All Go Wrong
Did you get it Did you need it Did you really What you wanted Was it good in the sun Did you really have the fun Did you crack it Did you grab it Did you reel it Like a rabbit Did you walk Did you run Did you move this here Uh huh And how could you do And make it so, sing this song Where did it all go wrong Where did it all go wrong Did you grab it Did you want it Is it really what you wanted Did you run in the sun Did you imitate a walk Did you answer Did you grab it Did you gun it like a rabbit Did you walk Did you run Can you feel you rising up And how can you do And when you sang it in the song And it sank, and it threw Where did it all go wrong Did you drown it Did you roll it Did you smash it Did you warm it Did you clean it Clean it up Did you rub it Did you soap Did you screen it Did you ream it Did you ruin it Did you feed it Is warm in the sun When the weather's getting warm And the world is at your feet And it is our time to say It's all gone wrong Where did it all go wrong (Oh yeah, oh yeah) You take me, baby, in circles, yes Darling, darling, darling...I want you Why oh, why oh, why oh...stony rose You lose your guy You walk on by You walk on by You walk on by You walk on by Did you lose the guy Did you lose the guy Did you lose the guy Did you lose the guy...Where The Streets Have No Name
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 doWho's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses

Innocent, and in a sense I am Guilty of the crime that's now in hand Such a nice day Throw your life away Such a nice day Let it go Cold these eyes, I can't believe it Cold, this heart is slow Heart is slow Call me Such a cold heart Such a cold man Watch you tear your self apart So lay me down My soul to give So lay me down The longest sleep Oh, the longest sleep In I come and out you go you get Here we are again now, place your bets Is this the time The time to win or lose Is this the time The time to choose Cold these eyes, I can't believe it So deep inside a cold fire Cold, this heart is slow... Any time your on there (Kiss me...) Won't you do it now That's right, just keep me going In some white track You come the right track Cartoon cutout Cut throat let out I'm on your side Be on the both side I'm alright Jack You get off my back I'm no dope I give you hope Here's the rope Here's the rope Now...swing awayWith A Shout

I wanna go To the foot of the messiah To the foot of he who made me see To the side of a hill Where we were still We were filled With our love We're gonna be there again Jerusalem Jerusalem Shout, shout With a shout Shout... With a shoutWith Or Without You
See the stone set in your eyes See the thorn twist in your side I wait for you Sleight of hand and twist of fate On a bed of nails she makes me wait And I wait without you With or without you With or without you Through the storm we reach the shore You give it all but I want more And I'm waiting for you With or without you With or without you I can't live With or without you And you give yourself away And you give yourself away And you give And you give And you give yourself away My hands are tied My body bruised, she's got me with Nothing to win and Nothing left to lose And you give yourself away And you give yourself away And you give And you give And you give yourself away With or without you With or without you I can't live With or without you With or without you With or without you I can't live With or without you With or without you
