A Sort of Homecoming
And you know it's time to go Through the sleet and driving snow
Across the fields of mourning Lights 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 - on borderland we run I'll be there - I'll be there tonight A
highroad, a highroad 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 valleys
explode Dislocated, suffocated The land grows weary of its own
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
The wind will crack in wintertime This bomb blast lightning waltz No
spoken words - just a scream
Tonight we'll 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, don't sorrow - no,
don't weep For tonight, at last, I am coming home I am coming home
Pride (in the name of love)
One man come in the name of love One man come and go One man come
here 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?
Early morning - April Four A shot rings out in the Memphis sky Free
at last, they took your life But 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?
Wire
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 in his eyes - I can't believe it Cold in his heart and soul, heart
and soul
Cold man - such a cold heart Such a cold man - watch you tear yourself
apart So lay me down - my soul to keep 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 bet
Is this the time - time to win or lose? Is this the time - the time to
choose?
Cold in his eyes - I can't believe it So deep inside - a cold fire
Cold in his heart and soul
Anytime you're on the earth Kiss me - ooh, not too tight now That's
right - just keep me going
It's all right Jack You're on the right track Cut through - cut out
Cut throat - let out I'm on your side Be on the boat side I'm
all right Jack You get off my back I'm no dope I give you hope
Here's the rope Here's the rope Now swing on it
The Unforgettable Fire
Ice - your only rivers run cold These city lights - they shine as silver
and gold Dug from the night - your eyes as black as coal
Walk on by - walk on through Walk till you run and don't look back
For here I am
Carnival - the wheels fly and the colours spin Through alcohol - red wine
that punctures the skin Face to face in a dry and waterless place
Walk on by - walk on through So sad to beseige your love so Head on -
stay this time Stay tonight in a lie I'm only asking but I think you
know Come on take me away Come on take me away Come on take me home
- home again
And if the mountain should crumble Or disappear into the sea Not a
tear - no, not I Stay in this time Stay tonight in a lie Ever after,
this love in time And if you save your love, save it all Don't push me
too far Don't push me too far tonight
Promenade
Earth, sky, sea, and rain Here she comes back again Men of straw
sneak a whore Words that build or destroy Dirt, dry bones, sand and
stones Barbed wire fence cut me down I'd like to be around In a
spiral staircase to the higher ground And I like a firework, explode
Roman candle lightning lights up the sky
In cracked streets, trampled under foot Sidestep, sidewalk I see you
stare into space Have I got closer now, behind the face? Tell me, tell
me will you dance with me And turn me around tonight Up through the
spiral staircase to the higher ground
Slide show - sea-side town Coca-Cola - football, radio, radio, radio

Bad
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 I'd 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 I'm
wide awake I'm wide awake Wide awake I'm not sleeping - oh, no, no
If you should ask then maybe they Would tell you what I would say
True colours fly in blue and black bruised silken sky and burning flak
Colours crash - collide in bloodshot 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 I'm wide awake I'm wide awake Wide awake
I'm not sleeping - oh, no, no
Indian Summer Sky
In the ocean cut, swim deep - the sky Like there - I don't know why
In the forest there's a clearing I run there toward the light Sky -
it's a blue sky
In the earth a hole dig deep - decide If I could, I would Up for air
to swim against the tide Up toward the sky It's a blue sky
To lose along the way The spark that set the flame To flicker and to
fade On this the longest day
So wind go through to my heart So wind blow through my soul So wind
go through to my heart So wind blow through my soul So wind go through
to my heart
You give yourself to this the longest day You give yourself - you give it
all away
Two rivers run too deep The seasons change and so do I The light that
strikes the tallest trees Will light the way for I Will light the way
Up toward the sky It's a blue sky
To lose along the way The spark that set the flame To flicker and to
fade On this the longest day
So wind go through to my heart So wind blow through my soul So wind
go through to my heart So wind blow through my soul So wind go through
to my heart So wind blow through my soul So wind go through to my heart
You give yourself to this the longest day You give yourself - you give it
all away
Elvis Presley and America
Black flash of my own love Tell me - open my eyes Black flash come
through my own life Telling me to sing And I believe in him And I
believe in you Black flash sees the sky And he turns inside from you
She won't turn my back And I know her tears are blue
And you know - and your sky is fading blue And your heart - so cold when
I'm with you And you feel, like no-one told you to And your time is
on-side And you'll talk with me - oh, don't talk to me Oh, don't talk to
me - don't talk to me
You know, like no one told you how But you know - well the king that
howls has howled And revealed like sentimental But you don't care
Would you share it in your he-a-rt, he-a-rt Hopelessly, so hope and see
I'm breaking through for you and me And you know, though no-one told you
to And you found out where you were going, where to And you're through
with me But I know that you'll be back for more
You know, and though no-one told you so And you know The sky - like a
heart in shades of blue And you walk when you want to let go We live on
the outside Turn away - fade away Drop me down but don't break me If
you can't stay Audience sighs in your heart and mind Audience dies in
your heart and mine Sweetly love will come Loving is on your side,
walking through Something in your heart It beats like something new
The end - I'm lost Stay - stay sad and resigned Don't stay sad - no
more beside Don't stay sad - no more be sad Don't stay sad - no more be
sad
And you know, and though no one told you how And you wipe the sweat off
your white brow And you care, and though no one told you try And your
heart is left out from the side And the rain beats down And the shame
going down And this rain keeps on coming down And the sky is black
Keep my voice up - don't push too far You are going to join to God
Give my voice some energy - why? Keep my voice up - can't go louder
Keep my voice up louder - gave no more
And you know, and though no one told you scan And you feel, like you
pretend you can You say go - you live on the old side of me Don't you
leave - don't leave out part of me Then I can't feel like I feel before
I can't hold on and I see the floor And you pick me up Bits and
pieces on this floor
MLK
Sleep, sleep tonight And may your dreams be realised If the
thundercloud passes rain So let it rain - rain down on him So let it be
- so let it be
Sleep, sleep tonight And may your dreams be realised If the
thundercloud passes rain So let it rain Let it rain - rain on him |
