This time we run
This time we hide This time we draw on all the fire we have inside. We need some time To find a place Where I can wipe away the madness from your face. Our name is out Our name is known Our name is everywhere but who knows where we're flown. I never meant To kill a man But I will show you how to live like no one can. So look away look away Hide your eyes from the land where I lie cold. Look away look away From the lies in the stories that were told. Look away look away From the love that I hide way down deep in my soul. I met you wild In a snowed up town When I was waiting tied and bound to be sent down. Then I broke loose You weren't around So I raised banks and trains until I tracked you down. Now look away look away Hide your eyes from the land where I lie cold. Look away look away From the lies in the stories that were told. Look away look away From the love that I hide way down deep in my soul. You followed me When I said no You lay with me when there was nowhere safe to go. We made some friends but now it's done I always knew that we would never find the sun. So look away look away Hide your eyes from the land where I lie cold. Look away look away From the lies in the stories that were told. Look away look away From the love that I hide way down deep in my soul. |

All the rain came down
On a cold new town As he carried you away From your father's hand That always seemed like a fist Reaching out to make you pay He came like a hero from the factory floor With the sun and moon as gifts But the only son you ever saw Were the two he left you with Oh Lord where did the feeling go Oh Lord I never felt so low Now the skirts hang so heavy around your head That you never knew you were young Because you played chance with a lifetime's romance And the price was far too long Oh Lord where did the feeling go Oh Lord I never felt so low Oh Lord where did the feeling go Oh Lord I never felt so low Oh Lord where did the feeling go Oh Lord I never felt so low Oh Lord where did the feeling go Oh Lord I never felt so low Oh Lord where did the feeling go Oh Lord I never felt so low |

Ha
I've never seen you look like this without a reason Another promise fallen through, another season passes by you Shock I never took the smile away from anybody's face And that's a desperate way to look for someone who is still a child In a big country, dreams stay with you Like a lover's voice fires the mountainside Stay alive I thought that pain and truth were things that really mattered But you can't stay here with every single hope you had shattered I'm not expecting to grow flowers in a desert But I can live and breathe and see the sun in wintertime In a big country, dreams stay with you Like a lover's voice fires the mountainside Stay alive In a big country, dreams stay with you Like a lover's voice fires the mountainside Stay alive So take that look out of here, it doesn't fit you Because it's happened doesn't mean you've been discarded Pull up your head off the floor, come up screaming Cry out for everything you ever might have wanted I thought that pain and truth were things that really mattered But you can't stay here with every single hope you had shattered Shock, 1, 2 I'm not expecting to grow flowers in a desert But I can live and breathe and see the sun in wintertime In a big country, dreams stay with you Like a lover's voice fires the mountainside Stay alive In a big country, dreams stay with you Like a lover's voice fires the mountainside Stay alive In a big country, dreams stay with you Like a lover's voice fires the mountainside Stay alive Ha Shock |

Who holds the money, who holds the need
Who holds the strings of misery or the purse of greed And the gunmen reap while the gangsters sow And law is cheap when the smugglers go (Give us peace) Give us peace in our time (Give us peace) Give us peace in our time While I have a life to live Then I have no life to give (Give us peace) Give us peace in our time In sun-kissed rooms in city slums Minds are restless till the airmail comes From the forest floor to the western mind Like a chat show topic on a party line And the hardest love of all is to forgive As the world comes tumbling down (Give us peace) Give us peace in our time (Give us peace) Give us peace in our time While I have a life to live Then I have no life to give (Give us peace) Give us peace in our time Let all the rain come down on blind desire Like a thundercloud that holds a prairie fire I hear the blame and I see the cause A stronger voice and a stronger law But buyers buy and sellers sell Public consumption of a private hell (Give us peace) Give us peace in our time (Give us peace) Give us peace in our time While I have a life to live Then I have no life to give (Give us peace) Give us peace in our time (Give us peace) Give us peace in our time (Give us peace) Give us peace in our time While I have a life to live Then I have no life to give (Give us peace) Give us peace in our time |

Who saw the fences falling
Who broke the ploughman's bread Who heard the winter calling Who wore the tailor's thread How many sheaves were counted How did the carriage shine How many thoughts were doubted How did the landlord dine Just as you sow you shall reap Who led the mayday feasting Who saw the harvest home Who left the future wasting Who watched the families go See where the bowls are empty See where the arms reach See where the butter melted See where the altars creak Where were the days of promise Where were the gifts divine Where were the heroes honest Where was the summer wine Watch how the waves must shatter Watch how the shore divides Watch how the nets will tatter Watch Canute and his bride |

I know where all that time has gone
Blown and drifted, listening to an August night I see where I was wrong But how could I know that you were right When you said I would need something wild Something crazy to carry me I would see you naked and weary But with pride in your eyes that put shame in me I wait to find the things I need but I know I want that love King of Emotion Stronger than you and so much deeper than me I know that love is King of Emotion King of Emotion take a walk with me I know that love is King of Emotion King of Emotion take a walk with me You know where all that time has gone Grown up and left, washed out like an April day See all those pretty little things you knew Worn and faded they lie cast away You said you would need something wild Something special to carry you You would see me naked and weary But with pride in my eyes that put shame in you Until you find the things you need I know I want that love King of Emotion Stronger than you and so much deeper than me I know that love is King of Emotion King of Emotion take a walk with me I know that love is King of Emotion King of Emotion take a walk with me Until we find the things we need I know I want that love King of Emotion Stronger than you and so much deeper than me I know that love is King of Emotion King of Emotion take a walk with me I want that love King of Emotion Stronger than you and so much deeper than me I know that love is King of Emotion King of Emotion take a walk with me |

We lay the night in anguish, snakes drawn out by the tide
The compass of decision falls always on one side But many went before us, and still the cries are clear There is no beauty here, just the stench of wine and beer We save no souls We break no promises We can do nothing more than move on headlong through the gloom The thorn between our lips is the missionaries tune Men with open arms turn their faces half away Observe as we approach that we have not come to save We stand as thick as vines though the fruit is torn away There is no beauty here, friends, just death and dark decay |

If there's one great thing to happen in my life
If there's one great day, if there's one great height Let it be the time for peace; let it be the time of right If there's one great thing to happen in my life I've seen to much of what fighting has done I've seen too much anger; I've seen it far too young And talk will come to nothing while the shouting still goes on But we are only singers and too many songs are sung If there's one great thing to happen in my life If there's one great day, if there's one great height Let it be the time for peace; let it be the time of right If there's one great thing to happen in my life I've seen the way of martyrs; I've seen the way of kings I've seen the hope that love can bring I only hope what pleases me will also pleasure you For mine can never be the hands that make a dream come true If there's one great thing to happen in my life If there's one great day, if there's one great height Let it be the time for peace; let it be the time of right If there's one great thing to happen in my life |

I feel the way the wind blows
It tells me where you've been through I watch the way the sun sets Until the night's inside you Some days I just don't worry I let it pour through me Some days I need to bury The very depths of me So I wait out here to the east of Eden I let salvation be I was waiting, I was watching Would it ever be there for me ? When I felt that hope and a lucky card Were all I had to walk with me..... had to walk with me I watch the way the crow flies And though it seems so easy But if I see it in a grey sky Can I be sure about the way it leaves me Some days I just don't worry I let it pour through me Some days I call upon The very depths of me So I wait out here to the east of Eden I watch your soul run free I was waiting, I was watching Would it ever be there for me ? When I felt that hope and a lucky card Were all I had to walk with me I was waiting, I was watching Would it ever be there for me ? When I felt that hope and a lucky card Were all I had to walk with me Some days will stay a thousand years Some pass like the flash of spark Who knows where all our days go ? Out here we lie together Outside the thunder gathers Why care about the weather It always ends in dark I looked west in search of freedom And I saw slavery I looked east in search of answers And I saw misery Some days I just don't worry I let it pour through me Some days I walk into The very depths of me So I wait out here to the east of Eden I let my conscience be I was waiting, I was watching Would it ever be there for me ? When I felt that hope and a lucky card Were all I had to walk with me |

Maps on the back of your hands point to the cross
Scratches on walls in a room draw out your loss Your islands are conquered and You are returned to the throne Martyrs take penance and Fill up the mattress with stones Pull straws with holy men Stain all the atlas pink And let us find a beach Where we can cross our hearts Stand in the wind as the carousels spin Wear out your welcome again Stand on the silence of mountains and Wear out your welcome again Mornings hit hard with an uncontrollable light Piercing the senses that click deep in the night Crouched in a pillow of straw feet on the floor Creeping a path to the mat that holds back the door Pull straws with holy men Stain all the atlas pink And let us find a beach Where we can cross our hearts Build up great railways that run Through the horns of the moon Hold up a city with cast iron museum walls Explain your machines to the boys feed them with tools Bring out the skill in your skin polish your hair Pull straws with holy men Stain all the atlas pink And let us find a beach Where we can cross our hearts Stand in the wind as the carousels spin Wear out your welcome again Stand on the silence of mountains And take a look down to the sea Stand in the wind as the carousels spin Wear out your welcome again Stand on the silence of mountains And take a look down to the sea |

Here I stand with my own kin
At the end of everything Finally the dream is gone I've had enough of hanging on I came here with all my friends Leaving behind the wait of years Leaving alone in a flood of tears Out on a prospect that never ends All the landscape was the mill Grim as the reaper with a heart like hell With a river of bodies flowing with the bell Here was a future for hands of skill We built it all with our own hands But who could know we built on sand But now it's barren all too soon There is no miracle in ruin We set the flame and it burned so blue With open eyes I watched it grow A sea of palms in an ocean of snow Hands with the courage to start anew Here was a home for the lost and scared Out of the yards and run dry dock The call of the steel that would never stop Here was a refuge for those who dared In a steeltown When the heat's on I went down And the heat turned on me There I stand with my own kin At the end of everything Finally the dream has gone I've nothing left to hang upon In a steeltown When the heat's on I went down And the heat turned on me |

Long ago I heard a tale I never will forget
The time was in the telling on the bank the scene was set The sky was rolling blindly on, the daylight had not gone She washed her hair among the stones and saw what was to come All this will pass There will be blood among the corn and heroes in the hills But there is more to come my boy before you've had your fill Men will come and rape the soil as though it were their own And they will bathe their feet in oil as I have bathed my own All this will pass All things must come Just as I tell you here Stones will stand together as if searching for the stars And all come crashing down again before they reach too far She turned to face the setting sun, I turned to walk away But then she called my name again and beckoned me to stay All this will pass All things must come Just as I tell you here She told me of the famous sons who write their names in peace Yet be cut down before the time has come for our release Just as I tell you here Even now I wait for the coming day Even now she waits in the dawn For the tales she tells, for the gifts that she will sell For the sight she knows, for a vision that still grows With the dream in her eyes no one's seen I listened for so long that day that I can hardly tell If what she said was heaven sent or brought to bear in hell That men of hope would stand alone and still be cast a lie Just as Romans cast them on the day they were to die All this will pass All things must come Just as I tell you here Even now I wait for the coming day Even now she waits in the dawn For the tales she tells, for the gifts that she will sell For the sight she knows, for a vision that still grows With the dream in her eyes no one's seen |

We talked and smoked all through the night
You led me where I had no sight Till birdsong broke the morning light And I was weak with strange delight Teacher will you show to me The bond between the land and sea For I am new to mystery I want everything laid out for me All of history All of history You showed me walls around the world Where seekers passed and flags unfurled You wove a tale in silken curls And blew the mist in silver swirls Teacher will you show to me The bond between the land and sea For I am new to mystery I want everything laid out for me All of history All of history Teacher will you show to me The bond between the land and sea For I am new to mystery I want everything laid out for me All of history All of history All of history All of history |

We're at war All the papers say
We will win I read today We are strong It wasn't us We are right Who started this? Leave your work I just left school Leave your home I am no fool Take up arms It left me strong Sound alarms The school bell rings Sons of men who stand like gods We give life to feed the cause And run to ground our heathen foe Our name will never die This time will be forever Join up here I wave goodbye We need you Oh my breast sighs Have no fear I must try God will be with braver men Take the vow I know its right Praise the flag The good fight We're at war I'm on my way We will win Why do I pray ? Sons of men who stand like gods We give life to feed the cause And run to ground our heathen foe Our name will never die This time will be forever I wait here in this hole Playing poker with my soul I hold the rifle close to me It lights the way to keep me free If I die in a combat zone Box me up and ship me home If I die and still come home Lay me where the rose is sown Sons of men who stand like gods We give life to feed the cause And run to ground our heathen foe Our name will never die This time will be forever |
