There's a life that burns
When the night has come Makes me understand You're the one I see And I can't say no Take me by the hand Can't believe that you want it to be Just the game and we're playing the parts Such a feeling, it won't let me be Like an arrow that's straight for the heart 'Cause the one you want Is the one you lose That's what people say And the life you lead Is the one you choose Help me on the way Tell me why you fill up my life this way Take me high, together we'll fly away Can't believe that you want it to be Just a game and we're playing the parts Such a feeling, it won't let me be Like an arrow that's straight for the heart 'Cause the one you want We need someone Is the one you lose Help us along That's what people say Too many people can't find a way And the life you lead We need someone Is the one you choose To carry on Help me on the way Helping us on the way |

Like a jester dressed
In a silly gown Something evil came to town At the darkest hour In the dead of night All who'd listen gathered round From the uninspired From the tortured sounds No one noticed what she'd done By the pricking of my thumbs Something wicked this way comes Like a fool possessed Evil grabbed the blade Dripping blood upon the keys With her cheap disguise No-one realised How this jester could deceive From the uninspired From the tortured sounds No one noticed what she'd done By the pricking of my thumbs Something wicked this way comes From the uninspired From the tortured sounds No one noticed what she'd done Time knows the truth And her lies linger on By the pricking of my thumbs Something wicked this way comes By the pricking of my thumbs Something wicked this way comes This way comes This way comes Hush now children Don't you worry Lots of young ones Singing Mahler Lies so deady Wrapped in sugar candy |

The streets run red with the blood of the innocent
Why, why, why? We stab our knives in the back of humanity Why, why, why? There's never peace just a spiral of violence Why, why, why? We'll shoot you down for a difference of opinion Why, why, why? Cheap the bullet, easy the gun Sons and daughters, lost and gone Cheap the bullet, easy the gun No talk, no thought, just shoot and run Our children wake to the bomb and the bodysearch Why, why, why? We fill their ears with the drums and the battle cries Why, why, why? They burn your car when you stray it's a game they play Why, why, why? They're fed on hate it's a circle we don't want to break Why, why, why? Cheap the bullet, easy the gun Sons and daughters, lost and gone Cheap the bullet, easy the gun No talk, no thought, just shoot and run I'm baptised in your prejudice I'm confirmed with your hate I'm ordained into violence I'm a child of the modern world Of the media world Of the TV world Of the modern world Cheap the bullet, easy the gun Sons and daughters, lost and gone Cheap the bullet, easy the gun No talk, no thought, just shoot and run |

We can't all be right
We can't all be wrong It's a long journey We travel on Gypsies of the night Riders of the storm Though it's heartbreaking We must go on Wrong place Wrong face Somewhere on the road Keep playing And saying Welcome to the show Those who laugh the first Must cry later they say As the stage curtain Brings on the girls And they surely do well For the politicians who sell them On TV today Makes me uncertain Of who runs the world Wrong place Wrong face Somewhere on the road Keep playing And saying Welcome to the show My friends, all the trends that have gone Are as one in the minds of today With their eyes open they can't see the signs And the moment belongs to the video songs Leading nowhere at all And the fools talking, the blind lead the blind Wrong place Wrong face Somewhere on the road Keep playing And saying Welcome to the show We started something Now we can't get away from it all |

Back in the autumn of seventy
On the night shift at Abbey Road Four young men were recording a song named "Galadriel" For an album they'd call Once Again The producer was Norman Smith Who'd engineered with The Beatles and John Whose guitar was to be instrumental that day When I came to play I remember it well, as if it was yesterday The day that I played John Lennon's guitar I remember it well, as if it was yesterday The day that I played John Lennon's guitar Back in the autumn of seventy As I played on my borrowed guitar How could I know The Beatles would split the next day My heroes break up and go their own way Now autumns they came and they go But my friends and my memories remain And my heroes, well some of them fell from the stage But their light still remains I remember it well, as if it was yesterday The day that I played John Lennon's guitar I remember it well, as if it was yesterday The day that I played John Lennon's guitar I remember the day I remember the day I remember the day I remember the day The day that I played John Lennon's guitar I remember the day, as if it was yesterday And I know that the memories will never fade I remember the day, as if it was yesterday The day that I played John Lennon's guitar |

You - got to sing a new song
'Cause the way that we're going Is far too long Alone, when you can't hear a sound And you're halfway to freedom It can't be found But we've got the love And the feeling's strong And we're going on And we can't go wrong Halfway to freedom Sing out the word Tables are turning We're learning Our voice can be heard Towers are falling See how they burn Hope for each other Our brothers All over the world Love like a cry in the night We reach out for each other Peace to find Hear, when the bells start to chime And you're halfway to freedom It's hard to find Halfway to freedom Sing out the word Tables are turning We're learning Our voice can be heard Towers are falling See how they burn Hope for each other Our brothers All over the world |

Driving down the road
Under the southern light Looking back to see Where we've come from As we watched the sun go down Rain it fell like diamonds From Kimberley mines On the road to Jo'burg With the dying light Farewal Durban City of Natal Stopped a while to stretch my thoughts As we crossed the borderline And into Transvaal I saw the sun go down Under the southern skies Over and over I'll always remember Those beautiful African nights In the old VW We'd count the miles We travelled with a friend Whose name was Farr The stories that he told us Talked of faces Times and places Sang and played his guitar Driving down the road We hear the morning rise Leaving all the past So far behind The sound man played the Eagles As we listen "Take It Easy" Echoes on through our lives I saw the sun go down Under the southern skies Over and over I'll always remember I still hear them call No matter how far Those beautiful African nights |

When you're all alone
And the dreams are waiting at your door By the telephone No-one to talk to any more Where did we go wrong Waited far too long When you're worlds apart All feelings seem to disappear And the night is dark You used to make it all so clear Where did we go wrong Waited far too long Where do we go And where is the love you once gave me? I want to know Where is my life, can't you save me? Oh, I thought you were a woman of love Oh, we could have been in heaven above Where did we go wrong Waited far too long Where do we go And where is the love you once gave me? I want to know Where is my life, can't you save me? |

Lost generations out of place
Hidden from our eyes Your beauty, your grace Lovely visions from before our birth And the pictures say origin Earth I never lost my heart to anyone But I lost my heart today And now your secret's ours We've got to try Somehow we must find a way Dreams, fields of green and blue, blue sky Rivers of gold and mountains so high Visions haunt now like an ancient curse And the pictures say origin Earth I never lost my heart to anyone But I lost my heart today And now your secret's ours We've got to try Look for the sun star, no matter how far Somehow, we'll find a way Somehow, we'll find a way Somehow, we'll find a way To go home Star bright, your light Guiding us back to a new tomorrow Star bright, your light Bringing us peace and an end to sorrow |

A blind man in the night
Looking for a way down Prophet of an unknown Just looking for a way home A rich man taking fright Looking for the lowdown Guru of the jet set Just looking for a safe bet If love is king, who wears the crown? If music be the food of love Then someone ate the crown A no count in the light Looking for a way out Saviour of the closed door Just looking for a cool floor And you're out feeling great Shooting for a high break Prisoner of the real king Just looking for a sure thing If love is king, who wears the crown? If music be the food of love If love is king, who wears the crown? If music be the food of love Then someone ate the crown |

See the river deep and wide
Could be free on the other side Oh, cross the water When the gun and the knife have gone Who'll be here when tomorrow comes Oh, living in fear Sunrise, sunset, sunrise Over the rainbow they fly Shadows on the sky Hear the sound that fills the skies Killer man with dollar eyes Oh, bringing disaster You can stand, you can run When you hear the sound of a gun Moving closer Sunrise, sunset, sunrise Over the rainbow they fly Shadows on the sky And as far as the eye can see Black as night is the cloud you're under There's a chance that it cannot be Hear the cries like the rolling thunder Sunrise, sunset, sunrise Over the rainbow they fly Shadows on the sky |
