She's late in years in the olden world
Sharing the old morality with the olden girls Her only guide was the life in her hands Ways that only the wise could understand Satellite Flood It's a world crusade And it's pouring down From the skies like rain Satellite flood From a nuclear town If you don't stem the tide You'll surely drown So they take you down to the global stream With the third and fourth worlds, the world extremes Then they home their lasers in on you And when they hit you they stick like glue Satellite Flood It's a world crusade And it's pouring down From the skies like rain Satellite flood From a nuclear town If you don't stem the tide You'll surely drown It's the video beat and the suicide smile Sex in the wilderness mile on mile Every hotel room and every bar American girls and American cars Satellite Flood It's a world crusade And it's pouring down From the skies like rain Satellite flood From a nuclear town If you don't stem the tide You'll surely drown |

Sons and daughters of the dust
Strangers of time and place For a while your limbs entwine Holy marriage of flesh But I know your ways Your ways are not mortal thought Till the day breaks and shadows run Run away So shine on harvest moon Cast your might on the ripening corn And I look at your life Hold you in my arms With all the power in the days of youth In the fullness of love Fields run deep in golden swards Hot summer winds blow through the corn Cast off your sorrows now you stand In the presence of Lord Your radiance shines Like the moon of all innocent grace To know that we dared breathe belief To love again (Chorus) (Chorus) |

Life support genius at the end of time
The greatest living brain alive A breath of chance matter from a falling star The power is sour and reaches far The apple came down It had to fall Where men grew wise Minds grew small Newton and Adam Lost and found The apple must fall To the ground There's not long left, it's a race against time The saint's close, he could lose his mind Like he lost his body here on planet Earth When he holds the key to the universe The apple came down It had to fall Where men grew wise Minds grew small Newton and Adam Lost and found The apple must fall To the ground A mighty spark to keep him there Trigger to power, wire to pain Direct inject pleasure when the going gets rough Don't believe in God and all that stuff The apple came down It had to fall Where men grew wise Minds grew small Newton and Adam Lost and found The apple must fall To the ground The apple came down The atom must fall |

With the eyes of a child the
wonder of it all. I used to search the stars at night and I felt so safe and small. Sweet sounds from a Merseytown and my nursery God. I wanted to ride with Yuri Gagarin as he circled all around my world. Lying under the covers. Radio on. Settle down with Caroline as she sailed all summer long. Sweetheart of the Rodeo. Mining Hearts of Gold. I think it was somewhere post Rubber Soul. There was the first caress. There were the Labour years. There was the man that walked the moon something I never really believed. The Di Stefano twists the Charlton goals. Now I'm still here with the eyes of a child the wonder never grows old. Hearthammer. The wonder never grows old |

I still hear the snares in the square
Colours ablaze in the evening The air was still Down the stormy hill It's good to be young and daring I still see the blood on the knees The camans swing without warning The lads in white At the speed of light It's good to be young and daring Across the bay I still hear thee strains The two step loud and Blair-ing We walked hand in hand To the accordian band It's good to be young and daring She was the pride of the summer that year She was my sweetheart, my lady We walked the black rock And we stopped by the loch It's good to be young and daring Beat the drum Beat the drum Liek a heartbeat Lonely and strong Beat the drum |

By yon bonnie banks and by yon bonnie braes
Where the sun shines bright on Loch Lomond Where me and my true love spent many happy days On the bonnie bonnie banks of Loch Lomond. T'was there that we parted in yon shady glen On the steep sides of Ben Lomond Where in purple hue the Highland hills we view And the moon glints out in the gloaming. You'll take the high road and I'll take the low road And I'll be in Scotland afore ye Where me and my true love will never meet again On the bonnie bonnie banks of Loch Lomond. Where wild flowers spring and the wee birdies sing On the steep steep side of Ben Lomond But the broken heart it kens nae second spring Though resigned we may be while we're greetin'. You'll take the high road and I'll take the low road And I'll be in Scotland afore ye Where me and my true love will never meet again On the bonnie bonnie banks of Loch Lomond. You'll take the high road and I'll take the low road And I'll be in Scotland afore ye Where me and my true love will never meet again On the bonnie bonnie banks of Loch Lomond. On the bonnie bonnie banks |

Sunburst. The morning moar. The
light of God. The heart of youth. I look around me. My eyes find their rest on this garden the flower of the west. Sunrise. The colour frontier. The ageing light. The sight that knows no fear. I look over Orinsay to the Trumisgarry shore. To Aloter. And the road to Ahmore. The silent skies. An innocent heart Holding the moment away from time in the dark. All I see. All I know. Is touching the sacred earth warming the hallowed ground. I survive the childhood universe and I step the naked heath where the breathing of the vanished lies in acres round my feet past Loch Scadavagh Loch Fada and the flatlands to the east where the dark blue mass of Eval meets the rising Rock of Lee. Between the Crogary and Mairi I started to descend Loch Aongais on my left hand side I look across to Clett. Collies barking on the outrun Dunlin dancing on the sand. Breakers show round Corran Vallique and empty the Atlantic on the strand |

Word came like a hammer
Night fell down like a shroud And it's caught me drinking, trying to turn back the clock Through this industrial ghost town I've known graft and I've voted well Trying to keep the Lowlands red But all I gets control in foreign hands Other colours instead All I want is a roof over my head All I want is a steady job All I want to do is say I love you With every penny I've got And all I think about are Debbie and Jane To give them some kind of chance in life But the long road running out the strip mill gate Has got me walking that line We never stretched our dance hall dreams We got it just about right There's little escape from a working town And from a working life I placed my future in the palm of your hand One autumn Friday at the Church of All Saints There's no investment here in life or in love And now it's getting too late All I want is a roof over my head All I want is a steady job All I want to do is say I love you With every penny I've got And all I think about are Debbie and Jane To give them some kind of chance in life But the long road running out the strip mill gate Has got me walking that line Has got me walking that line Has got me walking that line |
