Chased you out of this world, didn't mean to stop
I turned around and suddenly you where gone Like some bird from paradise, the fire and ice We turned around and suddenly you where gone, gone, gone And now summer burns a hole inside and years are golden once again My thoughts return to you my dear young friend Oh come this way Will you look down this way I go down on the street Where the wild wind's blowing Here comes a hurricane I say come down this way Will you look down this way I need you tonight I need you around me I'm looking through the windows And my mind goes in a whirl Well there's a multitude of candles Burning in the windows of this world I'm looking at the colours Checking out the straights I'm counting out the numbers Will tomorrow never change? Still I hear you and I love you And I'll follow you elsewhere And I'll remember this occasion I'll remember being aware 'Cause we've got panic in the evening We've got fall-out in the streets And I hear you and I follow you And I'll call out and I'll say That I can hear your sister call out And I hear her call your name They're calling sweet surrender And things won't be the same And don't you think that I don't care And don't you think that I don't know And don't you hear them calling out In a place not far from here And I hear big wheels are turning Some things are not to fear They say this is the time and place They call street fighting years And I hear great wheels are turning And I tell you not to fear They say this is the time and place They call street fighting years And I love you, I look for you And I walk to you, I walk to you And I hear big wheels are turning Is there no way out of here? They'll be calling out tomorrow |

Listen to the rhythm
Listen to the beat It has a cold wind blowing Up through the street Soul crying out People crying out In through the valleys In through the streets Feel the whole world moving Underneath our feet Something's going on I said what is going wrong I feel them coming So close behind Sister says, we're next in line The man he says, that's OK And the Government says you're gonna pay, pay, pay And you pay Still you pay It's just a soul crying out It's just the people crying out It's the land crying out And I can hear you crying out And I say, I don't know Maybe I don't care What I know is I gotta get out of here And I'm going Going any day Some sweet day Some sweet day I gotta find a way I can hear the lovers, whisper in the street See a crowd has gathered underneath the heat I hear what they say But I don't believe what they say I see the woman, with tears in her eyes I hear the baby, calling in the night Something on the bed, was it something she said Hell this is not right What goes on through the night I hear her coming, all in my mind Sweet common love, so hard to find Someone said, man that's sa And the people walk by, cos they're so blind And you pay Still you pay It's just a soul crying out Just the people crying out It's the earth crying out And I can hear you crying out And I can feel you crying out And I say, I don't know Maybe I don't care All I know is, I gotta get out of here And I'm going, going any way Do you know, some place to go I'm getting out of here Where will I find some peace of mind I'm getting out of here I come walking to you I come singing to you Some sweet day I'm gonna walk away I'm gonna walk away It's just the soul crying out It's just the land crying out It's just the children crying out All the babies crying out Any way, some sweet day I'm gonna walk away Turn away It's just the soul crying out It's just the land crying out I wanna hear I want you here Some sweet day Just a soul crying out Of a land crying out anyway When you say Some sweet day... |

Ooh great wall of love, build me a great wall of love
When the blind man sings about the peaceful things You shout that it's not good enough Ah we wait till daylight hours Waiting for a sign from you Golden temples concrete towers Building mansions on the hillside next to you In the city souls awaken bodies shaking Oh pull me up let me see the view And to the hungry in the gutter We've deprived them bread and butter Always not enough No not enough Great wall of love, build me a great wall of love When the blind man sings about the peaceful things You shout that it's still not enough. Ah well it's not the sound of ghosts I hear It's the devil with his chainsaw And I'll be running through the ghettos Through the townships of Soweto Always not enough No not enough Brothers missing, babies kissing And the thing that got to you Burning never turning next to you Ooh great wall of love Build me a great wall of love When the blind man sings about the peaceful things You shout that it's still not enough So listen to me darling They've got worries they've got troubles on their mind And when you hear them reaching out They're reaching out for something they can't find Oh I believe one great day the rain will come And wash this mess away Oh I believe one great day the rain will come They've got silver and diamonds They've got paradise around them They've got blue skies so clear They've got their prisoner in a wagon While the children chase the dragon And the free bird files so clear It files away Fly fly fly away Fly away Oh you fly away And may your sweet lips sing to me Let the bells ring wherever freedom be One babe is born and another one dies There's people making love tonight People making love tonight Ah people making love tonight People making love People making love tonight People making love I can hear them reaching out I can hear them reaching out I can hear them reaching out I can hear them reaching out |

This is your land
It's the way it was planned Sky to the sea, something to see Old ancient town, to the old people ground I wanna know, something to go This is your land, laid out in your hand This is your land Wherever I go, way down here I know This is your land Oh churches and steeples, big city people I wanna know something to hold Walk down the track, to the old railroad track I wanna leave something to see This is your land, laid out in your hand This is your land Wherever I go, way down here I know This is your land Money can't buy me Money can't buy me I've got time Time is on my side You don't know what you've got till the whole thing's gone The days are dark and the road is long And when you walk away, the hope is gone Tell me what is right, and what is wrong Is this the way it was planned This is your land, take it in your hand This is your land Wherever I go, way down here I know This is your land, take it in your hand This is your land Wherever I go, way down here I know This is your land |

Go tell it on the mountain
Like it burst forth like a fountain Try to shake the deep foundations of this land High up on lover's land They got hotel rooms so grand And no one here knows what goes behind closed doors Take a step back to the middle of the track Don't you know it's rumoured all around Says you know it's come to town Come on and take a step back to the middle of the track 'Cause the rumours are around said you're coming back to town And with every little lie You come and never blink an eye You know you've got yourself all tied up When you're around I've got the modern world behind me Like a needle in a haystack, find me They build you up and then they're going to burn you down So take a step back to the middle of the track The rumours all around Said you're coming back to me Come on and take a step back to the middle of the track Says you know it's going upside, you know what's going down I'm haunted by the wanderer deep inside Wanted by Haunted by I'm haunted by the wanderer that's deep in my soul Gonna look back to the middle of the track And you know it's going upside Le, le, da, le Telling me Ah ha, uh hu Ooh look back to the middle of the track And you know it's going upside Telling me... Don't tell me it's a bad dream Don't tell me it's not what it seems Don't tell me pretty soon you know Gotta stop the roller coaster Gotta make the most of it Gonna pull you down Gotta make the most of it Better cool it down |

So let it all come, Let it all come down Let it all come, Let it all come down Sweet tears roll, Like a river from your eyes Get close, Let's sleep tonight When you wake, There's a new day dawning When you wake There's a cold wind blowing When day breaks, There's a light that shines through I'm still here when the day begins I need you with me when the day begins Let it all come, Let it all come down Why don't you Let it all come, Let it all come down Love is in control Love is on the open road Maybe you want to live Maybe you want to die So let it all come, Let it all come down >From the L.P.

When my love said to me,
Meet me down by the gallow tree. For it's sad news I bring, About this old town and all that it's offering. Some say troubles abound, Some day soon they're gonna pull the old town down. One day we'll return here, When the Belfast Child sings again Brothers, sisters, where are you now? As I look for you right through the crowd. All my life here I've spent, With my faith in God the Church and the Government. But there's sadness abound, Some day soon they're gonna pull the old town down. One day we'll return here, When the Belfast Child sings again, When the Belfast Child sings again So come back Billy, won't you come on home? Come back Mary, you've been away so long. The streets are empty, and your mother's gone. The girls are crying, it's been oh so long. And your father's calling, come on home. Won't you come on home, won't you come on home? Come back people, you've been gone a while, And the war is raging, through the Emerald Isle. That's flesh and blood man, that's flesh and blood, All the girls are crying but all's not lost. The streets are empty, the streets are cold. Won't you come on home, won't you come on home? The streets are empty, Life goes on. One day we'll return here, When the Belfast Child sings again, When the Belfast Child sings again. |
