A Sort of Homecoming |
[Verse 1]
And you know it's time to go
Through the sleet and driving snow
Across the fields of mourning
Lights in the distance
[Verse 2]
And you hunger for the time
Time to heal, desire time
And your earth moves beneath
Your own dream landscape
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 3]
The city walls are all gone down
The dust, a smokescreen all around
See faces ploughed like fields that once
Gave no resistance
[Verse 4]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, some away, oh come away, oh come
Oh come away, say I
Oh come away, oh come away, oh come
Oh come away, say I
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
I'll be there tonight
I believe
I'll be there, so high
I'll be there tonight
Tonight
Oh come away and say, you say, oh come
Oh come away, oh, you say
[Verse 5]
The wind will crack in wintertime
This bomb-blast lightning waltz
No spoken words
Just a scream, yeah
[Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh
Tonight we'll build a bridge
Across the sea and land
See the sky, the burning rain
She will die and live again
Tonight
[Verse 6]
And your heart beats so slow
Through the rain and falling snow
Across the fields of mourning
Lights in the distance
[Verse 7]
Ah, 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) |
[Verse 1]
One man come in the name of love
One man come and go
One man come, he to justify
One man to overthrow
[Chorus]
In the name of love
What more in the name of love
In the name of love
What more in the name of love
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
In the name of love
What more in the name of love
In the name of love
What more in the name of love
[Instrumental Break 01:40-02:26]
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
Early morning, April four
Shot rings out in the Memphis sky
Free at last, they took your life
They could not take your pride
[Chorus]
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
In the name of love
What more in the name of love
[Instrumental Outro w/ Vocal Harmonies]

Wire |
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
Cold in his eyes, I can't believe it
Cold in his heart and soul
Heart and soul
[Verse 2]
Cold man
Such a cold heart
Such a cold man
I watch you tear yourself apart
[Chorus]
So lay me down, my soul to give
So lay me down, the longest sleep
Oh, the longest sleep
[Verse 3]
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?
[Chorus]
Cold in his eyes, I can't believe it
So deep inside a cold fire
Cold in his heart and soul
[Outro]
Don't do it, d-don't do it
Don't do it, d-don't
Anytime you're on the earth
Kiss away (Unh)
You, you, won't you take me?
That's right, just keep me going
In some white track
You come on right back
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 away

The Unforgettable Fire |
[Verse 1]
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
[Bridge]
Walk on by, walk on through
Walk till you run and don't look back
For here I am
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus 1]
Walk on by, walk on through
So sad to besiege your love so head-on
Stay this time, stay tonight in a lie
I'm only asking, but I, I think you know
Come on take me away, come on take me away
Come on take me home, home again
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus 2]
And if the mountains should crumble
Or disappear into the sea
Not a tear, no not I
Stay this time, stay tonight in a lie
Ever after is lovin' time
And if you save your love, save your sweet love
Don't push me too far, don't push me too far
Tonight, tonight, tonight

Promenade |
[Verse 1]
Earth, sky, scenery
Is she coming back again?
Men of straw, snooker hall
Words that build or destroy
Dirt, dry, bone, sand and stone
[Verse 2]
Barbed wire fence cut me down
I'd like to be around
In a spiral staircase
To the higher ground
[Chorus]
And I, like a firework, explode
Roman candle, lightning
Lights up the sky
[Verse 3]
In cracked streets, trample underfoot
Side-step, sidewalk
I see you stare into space
Have I got closer now, behind the face?
[Chorus]
Oh, tell me, Cherry, you dance with me
Turn me around tonight
Up through the spiral staircase
To the higher ground
[Outro]
Slide show, seaside town
Coca-Cola, football, radio, radio, radio, radio, radio, radio

Bad |
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
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
Hoo, hoo! Hoo, hoo! Hoo, hoo!
Hoo, hoo! Hoo, hoo! Hoo, hoo!
[Chorus]
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, no
[Verse 4]
If you should ask, then maybe
They'd tell you what I would say
True colours fly in blue and black
Blue silken sky and burning flag
Colours crash, collide in blood-shot eyes
Hoo, hoo! Hoo, hoo! Hoo, hoo!
[Verse 5]
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
[Chorus]
Let it go and so fade away
To let it go, oh yeah, and so fade away
To let it go, oh no, and so to fade away
I'm wide awake, I'm wide awake, wide awake
I'm not sleeping
Oh no, no, no

Indian Summer Sky |
[Verse 1]
In the ocean cuts ring 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
[Verse 2]
In the earth the hole deep, deep, decide
If I could, I would
Up for air to swim against the tide
Hey, hey, hey
Up toward the sky
It's a blue sky
[Pre-Chorus]
To lose along the way the spark that set the flame
To flicker and to fade on this, the longest day
[Chorus]
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)
[Post-Chorus]
You give yourself to this the longest day
You give yourself, you give it all away
[Verse 3]
Two rivers run too deep, the seasons change and so do I
The light that strikes the tallest trees the light away for I
The light away
Up towards the sky
It's a blue sky
[Pre-Chorus]
To lose along the way the spark that set the flame
To flicker and to fade on this, the longest day
[Chorus]
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)
[Post-Chorus]
You give yourself to this the longest day
You give yourself, you give it all away

Elvis Presley and America |
[Intro]
(Black flash)
Black flash over my own love
Tell me of my eyes
Black flash come though my own life
Telling these things
And I believe them
And I believe in you
White flash sees the sky
And it turns its side from you
She won't turn my back
And I know you turn so blue
[Verse 1]
And you know
And your sky is feeling 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 your time with me
Ah, don't talk to me
Ah, don't talk to me
Don't talk to me
[Verse 2]
You know
Like no one told you how
But you know
Though the king that howls has howled
But you feel like sentimental
But you don't care
If I just share it in your heart
Heart...
Hopelessly
So hopelessly
I'm breaking through for you and me
[Verse 3]
And you don't
Though no one told you to
And you found out
Where you were going, where to
You're through with me
But I know that you will be back
For more
[Verse 4]
You know
And though no one told you so
And you know, blue sky
Like a harder shade of blue
And you walk
When you want
To let go
[Chorus]
Me, I'm on the outside, tell me fade away
Drop me down but don't break me
In your sleep
[Bridge]
In your sleep, inside
It's in your heart and mine
Whole sea is dark
It's in your heart and mine
Sweetly, those will come
Loving is on your side walking through
So let me in your heart
Your beat is like something...
[Verse 5]
They...
Run...
See say you're sad and reach by
So say you're sad above beside
Oh stay you're sad above beside
So stay sad above we said
[Verse 6]
You know I don't
And though no one told you how
(And you don't)
(And you wipe sweat off your white brow)
And you care
And no one told you tried
And your heart
Is left out from the side
[Chorus]
And the rain beats down
And the shame goes down
And this rain keeps on coming down
And this sky
Tonight...
[Post-Chorus]
You know S-O-N-G, why
You are going go join to God
You know S-O-N-G, why
Give away some him no lie
Give away some my de day no
[Verse 7]
You know
And though no one told you sky
And you feel
Like you pretend you can
You say go, you live
Go live outside of me
Don't you leave
Don't leave out part of me
Then I can feel
Like I feel before
Like it hurts now
And I see the floor
If you pick me up
Bits and pieces on this floor

MLK |
[Verse 1]
Sleep, sleep tonight
And may your dreams be realised
If the thunder cloud passes rain
So let it rain, rain down on he
Mmm, so let it be
Mmm, so let it be
[Verse 2]
Sleep, sleep tonight
And may your dreams be realised
If the thunder cloud passes rain
So let it rain, let it rain
Rain on he
