Sunday Bloody Sunday
[Intro]
Yeah, mm-hm

[Verse 1]
I can't believe the news today
Oh, I can't close my eyes and make it go away

[Refrain]
How long? How long must we sing this song?
How long? How long?
'Cause tonight
We can be as one tonight

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
Sunday, Bloody Sunday
Sunday, Bloody Sunday
Sunday, Bloody Sunday
Sunday, Bloody Sunday
Oh, let's go

[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus]
Sunday, Bloody Sunday
Sunday, Bloody Sunday

[Refrain]
How long? How long must we sing this song?
How long? How long?
'Cause tonight
We can be as one tonight

[Chorus]
Sunday, Bloody Sunday (Tonight, tonight)
Sunday, Bloody Sunday (Tonight, tonight)
Come get some

[Bridge]
Wipe the tears from your eyes
Wipe your tears away
I'll wipe your tears away
I'll wipe your tears away
[Chorus]
Sunday, Bloody Sunday (I'll wipe your bloodshot eyes)
Sunday, Bloody Sunday
Sunday, Bloody Sunday
Sunday, Bloody Sunday, oh
Sunday, Bloody Sunday
Sunday, Bloody Sunday, oh
Yeah, let's go

[Verse 4]
And it's true we are immune
When fact is fiction and TV reality
And today the millions cry (Sunday, Bloody Sunday)
We eat and drink while tomorrow they die (Sunday, Bloody Sunday)
The real battle just begun (Sunday, Bloody Sunday)
To claim the victory Jesus won (Sunday, Bloody Sunday) on

[Chorus]
Sunday, Bloody Sunday, yeah, yeah
Sunday, Bloody Sunday

Seconds
[Verse 1]
Takes a second to say goodbye
Say goodbye, oh, oh, oh
Takes a second to say goodbye
Say goodbye, oh, oh, oh
Say bye-bye
Where you going to now?

[Verse 2]
Lightning flashes across the sky
East to west, do or die
Like a thief in the night
See the world by candlelight

[Refrain]
Fall, rise and...
Fall, rise and...

[Verse 3]
In an apartment on Times Square
You can assemble them anywhere
Held to ransom, hell to pay
A revolution every day

[Verse 4]
U.S.S.R., G.D.R
London, New York, Peking
It's the puppets
It's the puppets pull the strings, yeah

[Refrain]
Fall
Fall

[Chorus]
Say goodbye (Say goodbye)
Say goodbye (Say goodbye)
Say goodbye

[Interlude: Man (Left Channel), Women, Man (Right Channel)]
Hold it (I just can't do it), I wanna be an airborne ranger
I wanna be an airborne ranger (This is all I've got)
I can't give nothing to anybody else anymore (I wanna live a life of danger)
I wanna live a life of danger (It's been stripped, it's been taken)

Gun (Gun!), gun (Gun!)
Gun (Gun!), gun (Gun!)
Kill (Kill!), kill, (Kill!)

[Verse 5]
It takes a second to say goodbye
Say goodbye, oh, oh, oh
Push the button and pull the plug
Say goodbye, oh, oh, oh

[Refrain]
Fall, missing is the rise and fall
Fall, I will rise and fall
[Verse 6]
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

[Chorus]
Say goodbye, say goodbye
Say goodbye, say goodbye

New Year's Day
[Intro]
Yeah

[Verse 1]
All is quiet on New Year's Day
A world in white gets underway
I want to be with you, be with you night and day
Nothing changes on New Year's Day
On New Year's Day

[Chorus]
I will be with you again
I will be with you again

[Verse 2]
Under a blood red sky
A crowd has gathered in black and white
Arms entwined, the chosen few
The newspaper says, says

[Pre-Chorus]
Say it's true, it's true
And we can break through
Though torn in two
We can be one

[Chorus]
I, I will begin again
I, I will begin again

[Post-Chorus]
Yeah, oh, oh-oh-oh

[Instrumental Break]

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh, maybe the time is right
Oh, maybe tonight

[Chorus]
I will be with you again
I will be with you again

[Verse 3]
And so we're told this is the golden age
And gold is the reason for the wars we wage
Though I want to be with you, be with you night and day
Nothing changes New Year's Day

[Outro]
On New Year's Day
On New Year's Day
On New Year's Day

Like a Song...
[Intro]
Like a song I have to sing
I sing it for you
Like the words I have to bring
I bring it for you

[Verse 1]
And in leather, lace and chains, we stake our claim
Revolution once again
No I won't, I won't wear it on my sleeve
I can see through this expression and you know I don't believe
Too old to be told, exactly who are you?
Tonight, tomorrow's too late

[Verse 2]
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 and we fight amongst ourselves
Too set in our ways to try to rearrange
Too right to be wrong in this rebel song

[Chorus]
Let the bells ring out (Oh)
Let the bells ring out (Oh)
Is there nothing left?
Is there, is there nothing?
Is there nothing left?
Is honesty what you want?

[Verse 3]
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

[Bridge]
Angry words won't stop the fight
Two wrongs won't make it right
A new heart is what I need
Oh, God, make it bleed

[Chorus]
Is there nothing left? (Oh)
Oh, oh

Drowning Man
[Verse 1]
Take my hand
You know I'll be there
If you can
I'll cross the sky for your love
For I have promised
All to be with you tonight
And for the time that will come

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
Take my hand
You know I'll be there
If you can
I'll cross the sky for your love
And I understand
These winds and tides
This change of times won't drag you away

[Chorus]
Hold on and hold on tightly
Hold on and don't let go of my love
The storms will pass (The storm will pass), it won't be long now (It won't be long now)
This love will last, this love will last forever

[Verse 3]
And take my hand
You know I'll be there
If you can
I'll cross the sky for your love
Give you what I hold dear

[Chorus]
Hold on, hold on tightly
Hold on, hold on tightly
Rise up, rise up with wings like eagles
You run, you run
You run and not grow weary (Take my hand)
Hold on, and hold on tightly
Hold on, hold on tightly
To this love (To this love, this love), lasts forever
Now this love (This love, this love) lasts forever (Take my hand)

[Outro]
Take my hand

The Refugee
[Chorus]
Wa-war, she's the refugee
I see your face, I see you staring back at me
Wa-war, she is the refugee
Her mama say one day she's gonna live in America

[Verse 1]
In the morning
She is waiting
Waiting for the ship to sail
Sail away

[Chorus]
Wa-war, her papa go to war
He gonna fight but he don't know what for
Wa-war, her papa go to war
Her mama say one day he's gonna come back from far away

[Interlude]
Woah
Go
Uh

[Bridge]
Help me
How can you help me?
Oh

[Verse 2]
In the evening
She is waiting
Waiting for her man to come
And take her by her hand
And take her to this promised land

[Chorus]
Wa-war, she's a pretty face
But at the wrong time in the wrong place
Wa-war, she's a pretty face
Her mama say one day she's gonna live in America
Yeah, America

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
Wa-war, she is a refugee
She coming back, she come and keep you company
Wa-war, she is a refugee
Her mama say one day she's gonna live in America

[Outro]
Ye-oh, ee-oh-oh
Ye-oh, ee-oh-oh, oh
Ye-oh, ee-oh-oh
Ye-oh, ee-oh-oh, oh
Ye-oh, ee-oh-oh
Ye-oh, ee-oh-oh, oh
Ye-oh, ee-oh-oh
Ye-oh, ee-oh-oh, oh
Ye-oh, ee-oh-oh
Ye-oh, ee-oh-oh, oh
Ye-oh, ee-oh-oh

Two Hearts Beat as One
[Verse 1]
Oh, I don't know, I don't know which side I'm on
I don't know my right from left or my right from wrong
They say I'm a fool, they say I'm nothing
But if I'm a fool for you, oh, that's something

[Chorus]
Two hearts beat as one
Two hearts beat as one
Two hearts

[Verse 2]
I can't stop to dance, honey, this is my last chance
I said, can't stop to dance, maybe this is my last chance

[Chorus]
Two hearts beat as one
Two hearts beat as one
Two hearts

[Bridge]
Beat on black, beat on white
Beat on anything, don't get it right
Beat on you, beat on me
Beat on love

[Verse 3]
Oh, I don't know how to say what's got to be said
I don't know if it's black or white, there's others see it red
I don't get the answers right, I'll leave that to you
Is this love out of fashion or is it the time of year?
Are these words distraction to the words you wanna hear?

[Chorus]
Two hearts beat as one
Two hearts beat as one

[Post-Chorus]
I try to spit it out, try to explain
The way that I feel
Oh, yeah
Two hearts

[Outro]
Well, I can't stop to dance, maybe this is my last chance
I said, I can't stop to dance, maybe this is my last chance
I said, don't stop to dance, maybe this is my last chance
I said, I can't stop to dance, maybe this is our last chance
I said, don't stop to dance, maybe this is our last chance
Oh, oh

Red Light
[Intro]
Ooh, oh

[Verse 1]
I talk to you
You walk away
You're still on the down beat
You say you don't want my help
But you can't escape
If you're running from yourself

[Chorus]
I give you my love
I give you my love
Give you my love
Still you walk away
Well

[Verse 2]
Oh, it's your own late show
As you jump to the street below
But where can you go
To leave yourself behind
Alone in the spotlight
Of this, your own tragedy?

[Chorus]
I give you my love, love, love, love
Love, love, love, love, love

[Bridge]
In the heart, in the heart
In the heart of the city
In the heart, in the heart
In the heart of the city
Oh, love
I pour my love out for you
And I'll bring you through
See, you're not alone

[Chorus]
I give you my love, give you my love
Give you my love, give you my love
Give you my love, give you my love
Give you my love, give you my love
Give you my love, love, love, love
Love, love, love, love, love

Surrender
[Verse 1]
Oh, the city's alight with lovers and lies
And bright blue eyes
Oh, the city is bright
It's brighter than day tonight

[Chorus]
Surrender, surrender
Surrender, surrender

[Verse 2]
Sadie said she couldn't work out what it was all about
And so she let go
Now Sadie's on the street
And the people she meets you know

[Verse 3]
She tried to be a good girl and a good wife
Raise a good family, lead a good life
It's not good enough
She got herself up on the forty-eighth floor
Gotta find out, find out what she's living for

[Chorus]
Surrender, surrender
Surrender, surrender

[Post-Chorus]
Tonight

[Verse 4]
Oh, the city's afire
A passionate flame that knows me by name
Oh, the city's desire
To take me for more and more

[Verse 5]
It's in the street gettin' under my feet
It's in the air, it's everywhere I look for you
It's in the things that I do and say
And if I wanna live I gotta die to myself someday

[Bridge]
Papa, sing my, sing my, sing my song
Papa, sing my, sing my, sing my song
Papa, sing my, sing my, sing my song
Papa, sing my, sing my, sing my song

[Chorus]
Surrender, surrender
Surrender, surrender

[Intro]
Two, three, four

[Verse 1]
I waited patiently for the Lord
He inclined and heard my cry
He brought me up out of the pit
Out of the miry clay

[Pre-Chorus]
I will sing, sing a new song
I will sing, sing a new song

[Chorus]
How long to sing this song?
How long to sing this song?
How long, how long, how long
How long to sing this song?

[Verse 2]
You set my feet upon a rock
And made my footsteps firm
Many will see
Many will see and fear

[Pre-Chorus]
I will sing, sing a new song
I will sing, sing a new song
I will sing, sing a new song
I will sing, sing a new song

[Chorus]
How long to sing this song?
How long to sing this song?
How long, how long, how long
How long to sing this song?
