I was talking
i was talking to myself
somebody else
talk talk talking
i couldn't hear a word
a word you said

he was my brother
i said there was no other
way out of here
be my brother
gotta get out
gotta get out

i was walking
i was walking into walls
i'm back again
i just keep walking
i walk into a window
to see myself
and my reflection
when i thought about it
my direction
going nowhere
going nowhere

no one...no one is blinder
than he who will not see
no one...no one is blinder
than me

It's falling, it's falling
and outside the buildings
are tumbling down
and inside a child on the ground
says he'd do it again

and what am i to do
what in the world am i to say
there's nothing else to do
he says he'll change the world someday
i rejoice

this morning i fell out of bed
when i woke up to what he has said
everything's crazy
but i'm too lazy to lie

and what am i to do
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...

and what am i to do
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

i don't know what to change
rejoice...
 
Falling falling
the sun is burning black
falling falling
it's beating on my back
with a fire
with a fire

falling falling
the moon is running red
falling falling
it's pulling me instead
with a fire
fire

but there's a fire inside
when i'm falling over
there's a fire in me
when i call out
i built a fire
i'm going home

falling falling
the stars are falling down
falling falling
they knock me to the ground
with a fire
fire

but there's a fire inside
when i'm falling over
there's a fire in me
when i call out
there's a fire inside
when i'm falling over
i feel the fire
i'm going home
 
Won't you come back tomorrow
won't you come back tomorrow
won't you come back tomorrow
can i sleep tonight

outside
somebody's outside
somebody's knocking at the door
there's a black car parked
at the side of the road
don't go to the door
don't go to the door

i'm going out
i'm going outside mother
i'm going out there

won't you be back tomorrow
won't you be back tomorrow
will you be back tomorrow

who broke the window
who broke down the door
who tore the curtain
and who was he for
who healed the wounds
who heals the scars
open the door
open the door

won't you come back tomorrow
won't you be back tomorrow
will you be back tomorrow
can i sleep tonight

cause i want you...i...i want you...

i want you to be back tomorrow
i want you to be back tomorrow
will you be back tomorrow

won't you be back tomorrow

i'm gonna be there mother
i'm going out there
and you're gonna be there...
 
October
and the trees are stripped bare
of all they wear
what do i care

october
and kingdoms rise
and kingdoms fall
but you go on...and on...
 
Oh, and where do we go
where do we go from here
where to go
to the side of a hill
blood was spilt
we were still looking
at each other

oh, we're goin' back there
jerusalem jerusalem

shout, shout
with a shout, shout it out
shout...shout it out...

i wanna go
to the foot of the messiah
to the foot of he who made me see
to the side of a hill
where we were still
we were filled
with our love

we're gonna be there again
jerusalem jerusalem

shout, shout
with a shout
shout...
with a shout
 
Stranger
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

a soldier asked for a cigarette
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
and i wish you were here

stranger
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

and i really don't mind
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
i wish you were here
to see what i could see
to hear
and i wish you were here
 
Singing this song makes me angry
i'm not angry with you
is that all
is that all
is that all...

singing song that makes me happy
i'm not happy with you
singing this song makes me pale
is that all
is that all...

is that all you want from me

is that all...
 
I can't believe the news today
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...

Broken bottles under children's feet
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
Sunday, bloody sunday

And the battle's just begun
There's many lost, but tell me who has won
The trench is dug within our hearts
And mothers, children, brothers, sisters
Torn apart

Sunday, bloody sunday
Sunday, bloody sunday

How long...
How long must we sing this song?
How long? how long...
'cause tonight...we can be as one
Tonight...tonight...

Sunday, bloody sunday
Sunday, bloody sunday

Wipe the tears from your eyes
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)

Sunday, bloody sunday (sunday, bloody sunday)
Sunday, bloody sunday (sunday, bloody sunday)

And it's true we are immune
When fact is fiction and tv reality
And today the millions cry
We eat and drink while tomorrow they die

(sunday, bloody sunday)

The real battle just begun
To claim the victory jesus won
On...

Sunday bloody sunday
Sunday bloody sunday...
 
Takes a second to say goodbye
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...

lightning flashes across the sky
east to west, do or die
like a thief in the night
see the world by candlelight.

fall, rise and...fall, rise and...

in an apartment on time square
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

fall, rise and...fall, rise and...

say goodbye, say goodbye
say goodbye, say goodbye
say goodbye

it takes a second to say goodbye
say goodbye, oh, oh, oh
push the button and pull the plug
say goodbye, oh, oh, oh

fall, rise and...fall, rise and...

and they're doing the atomic bomb
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.
 
All is quiet on new year's day.
A world in white gets underway.
I want to be with you, be with you night and day.
Nothing changes on new year's day.
On new year's day.

I... will be with you again.
I... will be with you again.

Under a blood-red sky
A crowd has gathered in black and white
Arms entwined, the chosen few
The newspaper says, says
Say it's true, it's true...
And we can break through
Though torn in two
We can be one.

I... I will begin again
I... I will begin again.

Oh, oh. oh, oh. oh, oh.
Oh, maybe the time is right.
Oh, maybe tonight.
I will be with you again.
I will be with you again.

And so we are told this is the golden age
And gold is the reason for the wars we wage
Though I want to be with you
Be with you night and day
Nothing changes
On new year's day
On new year's day
On new year's day
 
Like a song i have to sing
i sing it for you
like the words i have to bring
i bring it for you

and in leather, lace, and chains
we stake our claim
revolution once again
no i won't...
i won't wear it on my sleeve
i can see through this expression
and you know i don't believe
too young to be told
exactly who are you
tonight
tomorrow's
too late

and we love to wear a badge, a uniform
and we love to fly a flag
but i won't...let others live in hell
as we divide against each other
and we fight amongst ourselves
too set in our ways to try to rearrange
too right to be wrong, in this rebel song
let the bells ring out
let the bells ring out
is there nothing left
is there, is there nothing
is there nothing left
is honesty what you want

a generation without name, ripped and torn
nothing to lose, nothing to gain
nothing at all
and if you can't help yourself
well take a look around you
when others need your time
you say it's time to go...it's your time
angry words won't stop the fight
two wrongs won't make it right
a new heart is what i need
oh god, make it bleed
is there nothing left...
 
Take my hand
you know i'll be there
if you can
i'll cross the sky for your love
for i have promised
oh, to be with you tonight
and for the time that will come

take my hand
you know i'll be there
if you can
i'll cross the sky for your love
and i understand
these winds and tides
this change of times
won't drag you away
hold on, and hold on tightly
hold on, and don't let go
of my love

the storms will pass (the storm will pass)
it won't be long now (it won't be long now)
his love will last
his love will last...forever

take my hand
you know i'll be there
if you can
i'll cross the sky for your love
give you what i hold dear

hold on, hold on tightly
hold on, hold on tightly
rise up, rise up
with wings like eagles
you run, you run
you run and not grow weary

(take my hand, take my hand)
hold on, and hold on tightly
hold on, hold on tightly
to this love...last forever
to this love...last forever

take my hand
take my hand...
 
Woah, woah...
she's the refugee.
i see your face
i see you staring back at me
woah, woah...
she's the refugee
her mama say one day she's gonna

in the morning
she is waiting
waiting for the ship to sail
sail away

but he don't know what for
woah, woah...
her papa go to war
her mama say one day he's gonna
come back from far away

in the evening
she is waiting
waiting for her man to come
and take her by her hand
and take her to this promise land

woah, woah...
she's a pretty face
but at the wrong time
in the wrong place
woah, woah...
she's a pretty face
her mama say one day she's gonna
live in america

woah, woah...
she's a refugee
she's coming back, she's coming

I don't know
i don't know which side i'm on
i don't know my right from left
or my right from wrong
say i'm a fool
you say i'm nothing
but if i'm a fool for you
oh, that's something

two hearts beat as one
two hearts beat as one
two hearts...

i can't stop the dance
honey, this is my last chance
i said, can't stop the dance
maybe this is my last chance

two hearts beat as one
two hearts beat as one
two hearts...

they beat on black, beat on white
beat on everything don't get it right
beat on you, beat on me, beat on love

i don't know
how to say what's got to be said
i don't know if it's black or white
there's others see it red
i don't get the answers right
i leave that to you
is this love out of fashion
or is it the time of year
are these words distraction
to the words you want to hear

two hearts beat as one
two hearts beat as one

i try to spit it out
i try to explain
the way i feel
oh, yeah
two hearts

i can't stop the dance
maybe this is my last chance
i said i can't stop the dance
maybe this is my last chance
i said don't stop the dance
maybe this is my last chance
i said i can't stop the dance
maybe this is our last chance
i said don't stop the dance
maybe this is our last chance
 
I talk to you
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
i give you my love
give you my love
still you walk away

it's your own late show
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

i give you my love, love, love
love, love, love, love, love, love...

in the heart in the heart
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

i 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, give you my love
give you my love, love, love
love, love, love, love, love...
