One
Is it getting better
Or do you feel the same
Will it make it easier on you now
You got someone to blame
You say...
One love
One life
When it's one need
In the night
One love
We get to share it
Leaves you baby if you
Don't care for it
Did I disappoint you
Or leave a bad taste in your mouth
You act like you never had love
And you want me to go without
Well it's...
Too late
Tonight
To drag the past out into the light
We're one, but we're not the same
We get to
Carry each other
Carry each other
One...
Have you come here for forgiveness
Have you come to raise the dead
Have you come here to play Jesus
To the lepers in your head
Did I ask too much
More than a lot
You gave me nothing
Now it's all I got
We're one
But we're not the same
Well we
Hurt each other
Then we do it again
You say
Love is a temple
Love a higher law
Love is a temple
Love the higher law
You ask me to enter
But then you make me crawl
And I can't be holding on
To what you got
When all you got is hurt
One love
One blood
One life
You got to do what you should
One life
With each other
Sisters
Brothers
One life
But we're not the same
We get to
Carry each other
Carry each other
One...life
One
We turn away to face the cold, enduring chill
You run like river, on like a sea
And in the world a heart of darkness
It runs like a river runs to the sea
I don't believe in painted roses
We run like a river
Raining...raining in the heart
Oh great ocean
Heaven on Earth
Sick of sorrow
Where I grew up
They say that what you mock
And it's already gone too far
Tell the ones who hear no sound
No whos or whys
She never got to say goodbye
They're reading names out
Sean and Julia
Jesus can you take the time
Jesus in this song you wrote
This peace on Earth
If Coke is a mystery
If OJ is more than a drink
I never bought a Lotto ticket
Chance is a kind of religion
Don't know if I can hold on
Then will there be no time for sorrow
We'll go driving in that pool
Then will there be no time for sorrow
So you never knew love
You had to win
Please...please...please...
So you never knew
Your Catholic blues
Please...please...please...
So love is hard
September
October
Please...please...please...
So love is big
It's what lovers deal
'Cause you my love
One man come in the name of love
Chorus:
One man caught on a barbed wire fence
Chorus:
(nobody like you...)
Early morning, April 4
In the name of love
From father to son
The seam is split
Yeah you leave me holding on
Hanging on
The glass is cut
Yeah you keep me holding on
We'll scorch the earth
I'm hanging on
Love...slowly stripped away
Hanging on
I talk to you
I give you my love
It's your own late show
I give you my love, love, love
In the heart in the heart
I give you my love, give you my love
It's falling, it's falling
And what am I to do
This morning I fell out of bed
And what am I to do
And what am I to do
I don't know what to change
And so she woke up
Step on a steam train
Sweet the sin
You got to cry without weeping
You know I took the poison
She runs through the streets
Suffer the needle chill
Still.
Takes a second to say goodbye
Lightning flashes across the sky
Chorus:
In an apartment on Time Square
Chorus:
Say goodbye, say goodbye
It takes a second to say goodbye
Chorus:
And they're doing the atomic bomb
In the shit house a shotgun
No stars in the black night
Broken back to the ceiling
Captain and kings
Seen the coming and going
The temperature is rising
Chains no longer bind me
A prize fighter in a corner is told
Yep, silver and gold...
This song was written in a hotel room in New York city 'round about
the time a friend of ours, little Steven, was puting together a record
of artists against apartheid. This is a song written about a man in a shanty
town outside of Johannesburg. A man who's sick of looking down the barrel
of white South Africa. A man who is at the point where he is ready to take
up arms against his oppressor. A man who has lost faith in the peacemakers
of the west while they argue and while they fail to support a man like
bishop Tutu and his request for economic sanctions against South Africa.
Am I buggin' you? I don't mean to bug ya...
Okay Edge, play the blues...
We crossed the line
We're cut adrift
I disappeared in you
The men who love you, you hate the most
Oh...love...you say in love there are no rules
Desperation is a tender trap
Her skin is pale like God's only dove
Oh...love...you say in love there are no rules
She wears my love like a see-through dress
You don't know if it's fear or desire
Her heart is racing, you can't keep up
Oh...love...you say in love there are no rules
Oh...love...to stay with you I'd be a fool
Some days are dry, some days are leaky
Some days you're quick, but most days you're speedy
Some days it all adds up
Some days are slippy, other days sloppy
Some days you wake up with her complaining
Some days you hear a voice
Some days are honest, some days are not
Some days are work, most days you're lazy
Some days you feel ahead
Some days you hear a voice
Summer stretching on the grass
I'm not the only one
There's an insect in your ear
To the ones
Intransigence is all around
You're not the only one
Green light, Seven Eleven
Red lights, gray morning
And if you look, you look through me
If I could stay...
Faraway, so close
And if you listen I can't call
If I could stay...
Three o'clock in the morning
Just the bang
Stranger
A soldier asked for a cigarette
And I wish you were here
Stranger
And I really don't mind
I wish you were here
I'm not afraid
I'm just trying to find
I never thought you were a fool
Chorus:
I will not forsake
I am still enchanted
And you are such a fool
Chorus:
Oh love, look at you now
I was unconscious, half asleep
I wasn't jumping, for me it was a fall
Chorus:
And if the night runs over
And if the night runs over
It's just a moment
Yes...
I can't believe the news today
Broken bottles under children's feet
Chorus:
And the battle's just begun
Chorus:
How long...
Chorus:
Wipe the tears from your eyes
Chorus:
And it's true we are immune
(Sunday, Bloody Sunday)
The real battle just begun
One Tree Hill
As the day begs the night for mercy love
The sun so bright it leaves no shadows
Only scars carved into stone
On the face of earth
The moon is up and over One Tree Hill
We see the sun go down in your eyes
You run like a river runs to the sea
A fire zone
Where poets speak their heart
Then bleed for it
Jara sang, his song a weapon
In the hands of love
You know his blood still cries
From the ground
It runs like a river to the sea
Or bleeding hearts
While bullets rape the night of the merciful
I'll see you again
When the stars fall from the sky
And the moon has turned red
Over one tree hill
Run to the sea
We run like a river to the sea
And when it's raining
Raining hard
That's when the rain will
Break my heart
Raining in your heart
Raining...raining to your heart
Raining, raining...raining
Raining to your heart
Raining...raining in your heart
Raining in your heart..
To the sea
Oh great sea
Run to the ocean
Run to the sea
Peace on Earth
We need it now
I'm sick of all of this
Hanging around
I'm sick of the pain
I'm sick of hearing
Again and again
That there's gonna be
Peace on Earth
There weren't many trees
Where there was we'd tear them down
And use them on our enemies
Will surely overtake you
And you become a monster
So the monster will not break you
Who said that if you go in hard
You won't get hurt
Jesus can you take the time
To throw a drowning man a line
Peace on Earth
Whose sons are living in the ground
Peace on Earth
No one cries like a mother cries
For peace on Earth
To see the color in his eyes
Now he's in the dirt
Peace on Earth
Over the radio
All the folks the rest of us
Won't get to know
Gareth, Ann, and Breda
Their lives are bigger than
Any big idea
To throw a drowning man a line
Peace on Earth
To tell the ones who hear no sound
Whose sons are living in the ground
Peace on Earth
The words are sticking in my throat
Peace on Earth
Hear it every Christmas time
But hope and history won't rhyme
So what's it worth
Peace on Earth
Peace on Earth
Peace on Earth
Playboy Mansion
Michael Jackson...History
If beauty is truth
And surgery the fountain of youth
What am I to do
Have I got the gift to get me through
The gates of that mansion
And a Big Mac bigger than you think
If perfume is an obsession
And talk shows, confession
What have we got to lose
Another push and we'll be through
The gates of that mansion
I never parked in anyone's space
The banks feel like cathedrals
I guess casinos took their place
Love, come on down
Don't wake her, she'll come around
Where you're damned for plain hard luck
I never did see that movie
I never did read that book
Love, come on down
Let my numbers come around
Don't know if I'm that strong
Don't know if I can wait that long
'Til the colours come flashing
And the lights go on
Then will there be no time for shame
And though I can't say why
I know I've got to believe
It's who you know that gets you through
The gates of the Playboy mansion
But they don't mention...the pain
Then will there be no time for shame
Then will there be no time for sorrow
Then will there be no time for shame
Please
Until you crossed the line of grace
And you never felt wanted
'Til you had someone slap your face
So you never felt alive
Until you'd almost wasted away
You couldn't just pass
The smartest ass
At the top of the class
Your flying colors
Your family tree
And all your lessons in history
Get up off your knees
Please...please...please...
Please...
How low you'd stoop to make that call
And you never knew
What was on the ground 'til they made you crawl
So you never knew
That the heaven you keep, you stole
Your convent shoes
Your stick-on tattoos
Now they're making the news
Your holy war
Your northern star
Your sermon on the mount
From the boot of your car
Get up off your knees
Please...please...please...
Leave me out of this please
And love is tough
But love is not
What you're thinking of
Streets capsizing
Spilling over
Down the drain
Shards of glass
Splinters like rain
But you could only feel
Your own pain
Talk getting nowhere
November
December
Remember
Are we just starting again
Get up off your knees, yeah
Please...please...please...
Please...
Is bigger than us
But love is not
What you're thinking of
It's what lovers steal
You know I've found it hard to receive
I could never believe
Pride (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 he resist
One man washed on an empty beach.
One man betrayed with a kiss
Shot rings out in the Memphis sky
Free at last, they took your life
They could not take your pride
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...
Red Hill Mining Town
The blood runs thin
See faces frozen still
Against the wind
The coal face cracked
The lines are long
There's no going back
Through hands of steel
And heart of stone
Our labour day
Has come and gone
In Red Hill Town
See lights go down, I'm...
You're all that's left to hold on to
I'm still waiting
I'm hanging on
You're all that's left to hold on to
The bottle run dry
Our love runs cold
In the caverns of the night
We're wounded by fear
Injured in doubt
I can lose myself
You I can't live without
In Red Hill Town
See the lights go down on
I'm hanging on
You're all that's left to hold on to
I'm still waiting
Hanging on
You're all that's left to hold on to
Hold on to
Set fire to the sky
We stoop so low to reach so high
A link is lost
The chain undone
We wait all day
For night to come
And it comes
Like a hunter child
You're all that's left to hold on to
I'm still waiting
I'm hanging on
You're all that's left to hold on to
Love...has seen its better day
The lights go out on Red Hill
The lights go down on Red Hill
Lights go down on Red Hill town
The lights go down on Red Hill
Red Light
You walk away
You're still on the down beat
You say you don't want my help
But you can't escape
If your running from yourself
I give you my love
Give you my love
Still you walk away
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
Love, love, love, love, love, love...
In the heart of the city
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 your not alone
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...
Rejoice
And outside the buildings
Are tumbling down
And inside a child on the ground
Says he'd do it again
What in the world am I to say
There's nothing else to do
He says he'll change the world someday
I rejoice
When I woke up to what he has said
Everything's crazy
But I'm too lazy to lie
Just tell me what am I supposed to say
I can't change the world
But I can change the world in me
If I rejoice
Rejoice...
Just tell me what am I supposed to say
I can't change the world
But I can change the world in me
If I rejoice
Rejoice...
Running to Stand Still
Woke up from where she was
Lying still
Said I gotta do something
About where we're going
Step out of the driving rain, maybe
Run from the darkness in the night
Singing ha, ah la la la de day
Ah da da da de day
Ah la la de day
Bitter taste in my mouth
I see seven towers
But I only see one way out
Talk without speaking
Scream without raising your voice
From the poison stream
Then I floated out of here
Singing...ha la la la de day
Ha la la la de day
Ha la la de day
With her eyes painted red
Under black belly of cloud in the rain
In through a doorway she brings me
White gold and pearls stolen from the sea
She is raging
She is raging
And the storm blows up in her eyes
She will...
She's running to stand...
Seconds
Say goodbye, oh, oh, oh
It takes a second to say goodbye
Say goodbye, oh, oh, oh, say bye bye...
Where you going to now...
East to west, do or die
Like a thief in the night
See the world by candlelight.
Fall, rise and...Fall, rise and...
You can assemble them anywhere
Held to ransom, hell to pay
A revolution everyday
USSR, GDR, London, New York, Peking
It's the puppets, It's the puppets
Who pull the strings
Say goodbye, say goodbye
Say goodbye
Say goodbye, oh, oh, oh
Push the button and pull the plug
Say goodbye, oh, oh, oh
Do they know where the dance comes from
Yes they're doing the atomic bomb
They want you to sing along
Say goodbye, say goodbye
Say goodbye
Say goodbye.
Silver and Gold
Praying hands hold me down
Only the hunter was hunted
In this tin can town
Tin can town
Looks like the sky fell down
No sun in the daylight
Looks like it's chained to the ground
Chained to the ground
The warden said
The exit is sold
If you want a way out
Silver and gold
Broken nose to the floor
I scream at the silence, it's crawling
It crawls under the door
There's a rope around my neck
And there's a trigger in your gun
Jesus say something
I am someone, I am someone
I am someone
In the ships hold
They came to collect
Silver and gold
Silver and gold
Seen them captains and the kings
See them navy blue uniforms
See them bright and shiny things
Bright shiny things
The fever white hot
Mister, I ain't got nothing
But it's more than you got
Not the shackles at my feet
Outside are the prisoners
Inside the free
Set them free
Set them free
Hit where it hurts
Silver and gold
Silver and gold
So Cruel
Who pushed who over
It doesn't matter to you
It matters to me
But still floating
I'm only hanging on
To watch you go down
My love
You disappeared from me
I gave you everything you ever wanted
It wasn't what you wanted
They pass right through you like a ghost
They look for you but your spirit is in the air
Baby, you're nowhere
Oh...love...sweetheart...
You're so cruel
It gets you every time
You put your lips to her lips
To stop the lie
Screams like an angel for your love
Then she makes you watch her from above
And you need her like a drug
Oh...love...sweetheart...
You're so cruel
Her lips say one thing
Her movements something else
Oh love...like a screaming flower
Love...dying every hour...love
Danger the drug that takes you higher
Head in heaven, fingers in the mire
The night is bleeding like a cut
Between the horses of love and lust
We are trampled underfoot
Oh...love...sweetheart...
You're so cruel
Sweetheart...you're so cruel
Some Days Are Better Than Others
Some days come clean, other days are sneaky
Some days take less, but most days take more
Some slip through your fingers and onto the floor
Some days you use more force than is necessary
Some days just drop in on us
Some days are better than others
And what you got is not enough
Some days are better than others
Some days you can't stand the sight of a puppy
Your skin is white but you think you're a brother
Some days are better than others
Some sunny days you wish it was raining
Some days are sulky, some days have a grin
And some days have bouncers and won't let you in
Taking you to another place
Some days are better than others
Some days you're thankful for what you've got
Some days you wake up in the army
And some days it's the enemy
Some days you feel like a bit of a baby
Lookin' for Jesus and His mother
Some days are better than others
You're making sense of what she said
Some days are better than others
Taking you to another place
Some days are better than others
Staring at the Sun
Summer dresses pass
In the shade of a willow tree
Creeps a crawling over me
Over me and over you
Stuck together with God's glue
It's going to get stickier too
It's been a long hot summer
Let's get under cover
Don't try too hard to think
Don't think at all
Staring at the sun
Afraid of what you'd find
If you took a look inside
I'm not just deaf and dumb
Staring at the sun
Not the only one
Who's happy to go blind
If you scratch it won't disappear
It's going to itch and burn and sting
You want to see what the scratching brings
Waves that leave me out of reach
Breaking on your back like a beach
Will we ever live in peace
'Cause those that can't do
Often have to
And those that can't do
Often have to preach
Staring at the sun
Afraid of what you'll find
If you took a look inside
Not just deaf and dumb
Staring at the sun
I'm not the only one
Who'd rather go blind
Military still in town
Armour plated suits and ties
Daddy just won't say goodbye
Referee won't blow the whistle
God is good but will He listen
I'm nearly great
But there's something missing
I left it in the duty free
But you never really belonged to me
Staring at the sun
Afraid of what you'd find
If you stepped back inside
I'm not sucking on my thumb
I'm staring at the sun
Not the only one
Who's happy to go blind
Stay (Faraway, So Close!)
You stop in for a pack of cigarettes
You don't smoke, don't even want to
Hey now, check your change
Dressed up like a car crash
Your wheels are turning but you're upside down
You say when he hits you, you don't mind
Because when he hurts you, you feel alive
Hey babe, is that what it is
You stumble out of a hole in the ground
A vampire or a victim
It depends on who's around
You used to stay in to watch the adverts
You could lip synch to the talk shows
And when you talk, you talk at me
And when I touch you, you don't feel a thing
Then the night would give you up
Stay...and the day would keep its trust
Stay...and the night would be enough
Up with the static and the radio
With satellite television
You can go anywhere
Miami, New Orleans
London, Belfast and Berlin
And if you jump, you just might fall
And if you shout, I'll only hear you
Then the night would give you up
Stay...then the day would keep its trust
Stay...with the demons you drowned
Stay...with the spirit I found
Stay...and the night would be enough
It's quiet and there's no one around
Just the bang and the clatter
As an angel runs to ground
And the clatter
As an angel
Hits the ground
Stranger in a Strange Land
Stranger in a strange land
He looked at me like I
Was the one who should run
We asked him to smile for a photograph
Waited a while to see if we could
Make him laugh
His smiling face I can't forget
He looked like you across the street
But that's a long way here
And I wish you were here
A stranger in a strange land
He look at me like I
Was the one who should run
I watched as he watched us
Get back on the bus
I watched the way it was
The way it was when he was with us
Sleeping on the floor
But I couldn't sleep after what I saw
I wrote this letter to tell you
The way I feel
I wish you were here
To see what I could see
To hear
And I wish you were here
Stuck in a Moment You Can't Get Out Of
Of anything in this world
There's nothing you can throw at me
That I haven't already heard
A decent melody
A song that I can sing
In my own company
But darling look at you
You gotta stand up straight
Carry your own weight
These tears are going nowhere baby
You've got to get yourself together
You've got stuck in a moment
And now you can't get out of it
Don't say that later will be better
Now you're stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it
The colors that you bring
The nights you filled with fireworks
They left you with nothing
By the light you brought to me
I listen through your ears
Through your eyes I can see
To worry like you do
I know it's tough
And you can never get enough
Of what you don't really need now
My, oh my
You've got yourself stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it
The water is warm 'til you discover how deep
It's a long way down to nothing at all
And if the day won't last
And if our way should falter
Along the stony pass
And if the day won't last
And if your way should falter
Along this stony pass
This time will pass
Sunday Bloody Sunday
Oh, I can't close my eyes
And make it go away
How long...
How long must we sing this song?
How long? How long...
'cause tonight...we can be as one
Tonight...
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
Sunday, Bloody Sunday
Sunday, Bloody Sunday
There's many lost, but tell me who has won
The trench is dug within our hearts
And mothers, children, brothers, sisters
Torn apart
How long must we sing this song?
How long? How long...
'cause tonight...we can be as one
Tonight...tonight...
Wipe your tears away
Oh, wipe your tears away
Oh, wipe your tears away
(Sunday, Bloody Sunday)
Oh, wipe your blood shot eyes
(Sunday, Bloody Sunday)
When fact is fiction and TV reality
And today the millions cry
We eat and drink while tomorrow they die
To claim the victory Jesus won
On...
