STORIES FROM THE CITY, STORIES FROM
THE SEA
* BIG EXIT
Look out ahead
I see danger
come
I wanna pistol
I wanna gun
I'm scared baby
I
wanna run
This world's crazy
Give me the gun
Baby,
baby
Ain't it true
I'm immortal
When I 'm with
you
But I want a pistol
In my hand
I wanna go
to
A different land
I met a man
He told me
straight
"You gotta leave
It's getting late"
Too many
cops
Too many guns
All trying to do something
No-one else
has one
Baby, baby
Ain't it true
I'm
immortal
When I 'm with you
But I want a pistol
In my
hand
I wanna go to
A different land
Sometimes
it rains so hard
And I feel the hurt
In my heart
Feels like
the end of the world
I see the children
Sharp as knives
I
see the children
Dead and alives
Beautiful people
Beautiful
girls
I just feel like it's the end of the world
I walk on
concrete
I walk on sand
But I can't find
A safe place to
stand
I'm scared baby
I wanna run
This world's
crazy
Gimme the gun
Baby, baby
Ain't it true
I'm
immortal
When I 'm with you
But I want a pistol
In my
hand
I wanna go to
A different land
* GOOD
FORTUNE
Threw my bad fortune
Of the top of
A tall
building
I'd rather have done it with you
Your boy's
smile
Five in the morning
Looked into your eyes
And I was
really in love
In Chinatown
Hung over
You showed
me
Just what I could do
Talking about
Time travel
And
the meaning
Just what it was worth
And I feel
like
Some bird of paradise
My bad fortune slipping away
And
I feel the
Innocence of a child
Everybody's got something good to
say
Things I once thought
Unbelievable
In my
life
Have all taken place
When we walked through
Little
Italy
I saw my reflection
Come right of your face
I
paint pictures
To remember
You're too beautiful
To
put into words
Like a gypsy
You dance in circles
All around
me
And all over the world
And I feel like
Some bird
of paradise
My bad fortune slipping away
And I feel
the
Innocence of a child
Everybody's got something good to
say
So I take my
Good fortune
And I
fantasize
Of our leaving
Like some modern-day
Gypsy
landslide
Like some modern day
Bonnie and
Clyde
On the run again
On the run again
* A
PLACE CALLED HOME
One day I know
We'll find a place of
hope
Just hold on to me
Just hold on to me
Walk tight, one
line
You're wanted this time
There's no one to blame
Just
hold on to me
(Come on my love)
And I'm right on
time
And the birds keep singing
And you're right on
line
And the bells keep ringing
And the battle is won
And
the planes keep winging
And I'm right on time
And the girl keeps
singing
One day they'll be a place for us
I walk
and I wade
Through full lands and lonely
I stumble, I
stumble
With you I wait
To be born again
With love comes
the day
Just hold on to me
(Come on my love)
And
I'm right on time
And the birds keep singing
And you're right on
line
And the bells keep ringing
One day they'll be a place
for us
And the battle is won
And the planes keep
winging
And I'm right on time
And the girl keeps
singing
One day they'll be a place for us
Now is
the time
To follow through
To read the signs
Now the
message sent
Let's bring it to it's final end
And I'm
right on time
And the birds keep singing
And you're right on
line
And the bells keep ringing
One day they'll be a place for
us
And the battle is won
And the planes keep winging
And
I'm right on time
And the girl keeps singing
One day they'll be a
place for us
One day
I
Know
They'll
be
A place
Called
Home
* ONE
LINE
Do you remember the first kiss?
Star shooting across
the sky
To come to such a place as this
You never left my
mind
I'm watching from the wall
As in the streets we
fight
This world all gone to war
All I need is you
tonight
And I draw a line
To your heart today
To
heart from mine
A line to keep us safe
All through the
rising sun
All through the circling years
You were the only
one
Who could have brought me here
And I draw a
line
To your heart today
To heart from mine
A line to keep
us safe
And I draw a line
To your heart today
To heart from
mine
And pray to keep us safe
Watch the stars now
moving
Across the sky
Keep this feeling
Safe
tonight
* BEAUTIFUL FEELING
Sometimes I can see for
miles
Through water and fire
From England to America
I feel
life meet my eyes
And it's the best thing
It's the best
thing
It's the best thing
A beautiful feeling
A
smile from San Diego
He's still a boy
Two ends to every
rainbow
And a train from Mexico
And he's the best
thing
He is the best thing
He is the best thing
A beautiful
feeling
And when I watch you move
And I can't think
straight
And I am silenced
And I can't think
straight
And it's the best thing
It's the best
thing
The best thing
Such a beautiful feeling
*THE
WHORES HUSTLE AND THE HUSTLERS WHORE
Speak to me of
Universal
laws
The whores hustle and the hustlers whore
All around
me
People bleed
Speak to me
Your song of
greed
Speak to me
Of you inner charm
Of how you'll
keep me
Safe from harm
I don't think so
I don't
see
Speak to me
Of your inner peace
Little
people
At the amusement park
City people
In the
dark
Speak to us
Send us a sign
Just give us
something
To keep us trying
The whores hustle and the
hustlers whore
Too many people out of love
The whores hustle and
the hustlers whore
The city's ripped right to the
core
Speak to me
Of heroin and speed
Genocide and
suicide
Of syphilis and greed
Speak to me
The language of
love
The language of violence
The language of the
heart
This isn't the first time
I've asked for money or
love
Heaven and earth
Don't ever mean enough
Speak to
me
Of heroin and speed
Just give me something
I can
believe
The whores hustle and the hustlers whore
Too many
people out of love
The whores hustle and the hustlers whore
The
city's ripped right to the core
* THE MESS WE'RE IN
Can
you hear them?
The helicopters?
I'm in New York
No need for
words now
We sit in silence
You look me in the eye
directly
You met me
I think it's Wednesday
The evening, the
mess we're in
The city sun sets over me
The city sun sets
over me
Night and day
I dream of
Making love to you
now baby
Love making on screen
Impossible dream
And I have
seen
The sunrise over the river
The freeway, reminding
of
This mess we're in
The city sun sets over me
The
city sun sets over me
What were you wanting?
I just want
to say
Don't ever change
And thank you
I don't think we
will meet again
I really must leave now
Before the
sunrise
Above skyscrapers
The sin and
This mess we're
in
The city sun sets over me
The city sun sets over
me
* YOU SAID SOMETHING
On a rooftop in
Brooklyn
At one in the morning
Watching the lights flash
In
Manhattan
I see five bridges
The Empire State Building
And
you said something
That I've never forgotten
We lean
against railings
Describing the colours
And the smells of our
homelands
Acting like lovers
How did we get here?
To this
point of living?
I held my breath
And you said
something
And I'm doing nothing wrong
Riding in your
car
The radio playing
We sing up to the eighth floor
A
rooftop, Manhattan
At one in the morning
And you said
something
That I've never forgotten
You said
something
You said something
You said something
That was
really important
* KAMIKAZE
How could that
happen?
How could that happen again?
Where the fuck was I
looking
When all his horses came in?
And he built an
army
Of kamikaze
Ten thousand willing
Pilots
flying
Interfacing
Space and beyond
Built an army
To
come and find me
Beyond all reason
Beyond all my
hopes
The call of duty
Another war zone
(Makes me
moan)
Kamikaze
Kamikaze
You can't touch
me
Kamikaze
Eight miles high
He walks his
path
And I follow mine
One truth for one eye
He's
come to find me
Ten thousand willing
Pilots
flying
Interfacing
Space and beyond
Here is his
army
Space and here we
come
Kamikaze
Kamikaze
You don't touch
me
Kamikaze
Kamikaze
You don't touch
me
Kamikaze
You don't touch me
Space here we
come
* THIS IS LOVE
I can't believe that life's so
complex
When I just want to sit here and watch you undress
I can't
believe that life's so complex
When I just want to sit here and watch you
undress
This is love, this is love
That I'm
feeling
This is love, this is love
That I'm feeling
This is
love
That I'm feeling
Does it have to be a life full of
dread
I wanna chase you round the table, I wanna touch your
head
Does it have to be a life full of dread
I wanna chase you
round the table, I wanna touch your head
This is love, this is
love
That I'm feeling
This is love, this is love
That I'm
feeling
This is love
That I'm feeling
I can't
believe that the axis turns on suffering
When you taste so good
I
can't believe that the axis turns on suffering
When my head
burns
Love, love, love
That I'm feeling
This is
love, this is love
That I'm feeling
This is love, love,
love
That I'm feeling
Even in the summer
Even in
the spring
You can never get too much of
A wonderful
thing
You're the only story that I never told
You're my
dirty little secret, wanna keep you so
You're the only story that never
been told
You're my dirty little secret, wanna keep you
so
Come on out, come on over, help me forget
Keep the
walls from falling as they're tumbling in
Come on out, come on over, help
me forget
Keep the walls from falling on me, tumbling in
Keep the
walls from falling as they're tumbling in
This is love, this is
love
That I'm feeling
This is love, this is love
That I'm
feeling
This is love, this is love
That I'm feeling
This is
love, love, love
That I'm feeling
* HORSES IN MY
DREAMS
Horses in my dreams
Like waves, like the
sea
They pull out of here
They pull, they are
free
Rode a horse round the world
Along the tracks of a
train
Broke the record, found the gold
Set myself free
again
I have pulled myself clear
I have pulled myself
clear
I have pulled myself clear
Silent, I have pulled
myself clear
Horses in my dreams
Like waves, like the
sea
On the tracks of a train
Set myself free
again
I have pulled myself clear
I have pulled myself
clear
I have pulled myself clear
Silent, I have pulled
myself clear
* WE FLOAT
We wanted to find love
We
wanted success
Until nothing was enough
Until my middle name was
excess
Somehow I lost touch
When you went out of
sight
When you got lost into the city
Got lost into the
night
I was in need of help
Heading to
blackout
Till someone told me "run on in honey
Before somebody
blows your goddamn brains out"
You shoplifted as a child
I
had a model's smile
You carried all my hopes
Until something broke
inside
But now
We float
Take life as it
comes
We float
Take life as it comes
So will we die
of shock?
Die without a trial?
Die on Good Friday?
While
holding each other tight
This is kind of about you
This is
kind of about me
We just kinda lost our way
We were looking to be
free
But one day
We'll float
Take life as it
comes
We'll float
Take life as it comes
But one
day
We'll float
Take life as it comes
* THIS WICKED
TONGUE
This wicked tongue says
God is a million miles
away
This wicked tongue says
He can't see my day to
day
This wicked tongue says
Go on, taste
everything
And this wicked tongue says
You know you're not really
living
And it stares into the sun
And it flies from star
to star
Cursing everyone
In my ringing ears
And the
noise is as much as I can bear
And the noise is as much as I can
bear
And the noise is as much as I can bear
And the noise is as
much as I can bear
So I asked her where's the heart?
In
the rubbish heap of man
So I asked her where's the soul?
And the
silence rang and rang and rang and rang and rang
So I stare into
the sun
And I fly from star to star
Cursing everyone
In my
ringing ears
And the noise is as much as I can bear
And
the noise is as much as I can bear
And the noise is as much as I can
bear
And the noise is as much as I can bear
"I give up" he
said
"I give up you win"
"Creation baby has failed
again"
"I give up" he said
"I give up you win"
"Creation
baby has failed again"
"Creation baby has failed again"
"Creation
baby has failed again"
"Creation baby has failed
again"
