LOVE NOR MONEY

There's not much going round here any more these days

Too many people counting the cost

We got rock singers in gods' kingdom all piped in on a colour TV

They move their moves, move their mouths and don't say a thing

You can't get it for love, can't get it for money can't get it for love, love nor money

We got dark times leading the prime time. When bad is good and worse is to come

Yah we got blank faces in high places rolling by on a merry go round

They roll their eyes, roll the dice and trade everything

You can't get it for love, can't get it for money, can't get it for love, love nor money (repeat)

I need, I need a new mystery, bring me those eyes that can see. (repeat)

HOW STRONG IS YOUR SORROW

Oh yeah the thoughts you will not speak out are crashing into your brain

Words are gathering at your door

Shadows sinking to start another day, Come to watch you rise and fall

How long, how long can you fake it,

How strong is your sorrow?

You've been a working man, always get your pay

but you've been hiding, hiding it all away.

You've been a writer in your own mind buried up in your room

Like a dog you're howling at the moon

Lonely dancing to fool up on the hill, Singing na na na, you won't catch me today

Well how long, how long can you fake it, how strong is your sorrow,

You've been working now, always getting your pay

But you've been hiding, hiding it all away...

CALLING

I've got Jesus in my pocket, he's all I own, can't carry much when you've got no home

I've been living on these streets, the dust has filled my soul, I'm dry as Jesus, hanging on the cross

Calling, 'Where are you now, where are you now, I'm broke in two.'

He says, I've seen a lot of war, been around a long time, since the mother's lined these streets while their boys marched by

And I used to be a soldier, til the poison filled my mind, and the blood ran to landfill where the boys were dying,

Calling 'Where are you now, where are you now, where are you now, where are you, where are you now, where are you now, I'm broke in two, and I'm calling you.'

'Where are you now, where are you now, where are you now, where are you, where are you now, where are you now, I'm broke in two.'

ALL AROUND

Too long ago a broken dreamer shot herself down

In broken dreams the years go fast days drag along

And she says to herself, 'it doesn't really matter

I'll move from this place, get my real life together

I'll grab my hat, I'll grab my coat, grab my name, I'll grab all that money and make my way back

And all around, and all around.

She stares into her cup and wonders what does it mean when the leaves go up

She stares into her hands and wonders, which line will make the bad dream end

In her mind she is an artist, she floats on water in her head she is golden

She'll grab her coat she'll grab her hat she'll grab all that money and make her way back

And all around, and all around, and all around, and all around

When she goes, when she goes, when she goes, when she goes

La la la la la la ......

And all around.....

ALMOST ALIEN

I'm taking down those pictures, throwing out those clothes

They're reminding me of stories I can't hear again

I'm ending years of making so much pain

I will stare into that endless night and warm myself in candle light and feel so strange

Almost alien, almost alien, almost alien, to be so free.

I feel myself getting stronger everyday

Like I know everything and more than I can say

That past is gone, I'm living for today

I will stare into this lonely night, warm myself in candle light and feel so strange

Almost alien, almost alien, almost alien to be so free

I'll make it, I'll make it through this endless night

I'll make it, I'll make it through this lonely night

I'll warm myself in candle light, make it through this endless night and feel so strange

Almost Alien Almost Alien almost alien to be so free

Almost Alien Almost Alien almost alien to be so free

NO LANGUAGE

This much I know, this much I 'll remember

You held my hands and taught me how to row

And I never got to tell you I love you in my way

Had no words you could understand to make you want to stay

But there was nothing broken

Not at least what you can see

No damage when you slipped away.

Now I'm a madman on the water

with all my armour on protecting me

Crashing body into the waves so nothing will be saved

I'm floating naked on the sea

Between these worlds I know

Between these worlds I go

With no language on my own finding home

Rowing all alone looking in looking out (repeat, repeat)

I am rowing out on that sea

I wrote my message and I made my peace

Crashing through that endless roar

Moving through these shores to find my jewelry

Between these worlds I know

Between these worlds I go

Oh it's in between

Yah it's in me

A language, where no language is, and I know I'm home.

WHAT I'M AFTER

Cruel tonight, head down I'm restless in the cold, can't wait to make it home

and look away, I don't want to know whose bundled in the snow. How does it come down to this?

I want a life I can live like it matters, A love I can swear won't end

the strength to avoid disaster, and all the time I am after

Banged my head so many times, missed those signs that say go the other way

I been as wrong as I can be

Then there's been those days I come so close to what I know I can almost see it all comes down to me

I want a life I can live like it matters, and a love I can swear will never end, the strength to avoid a disaster and all the time I am after.

Always looking to all the things I didn't do, only seeing my missed chances

I 'm going to walk on through, be here now is all I want to do

Yah it may be cold but I can choose

Give me a life I can live like it mattes

And a love I will swear will never end

the strength to avoid another disaster

And all the time I am after, give me time, that's what I'm after....

CLOUDS AND RAIN

It's clouds and rain again, fog's too thick to land

I'm in my head again, forgotten what we had,

All the blue is washed out of the sky and hanging heavy on these eyes

Endless rain is all I see

And I am in the cold, tangoing with pride

Traded in the night with love to sleep with being right

Wrestling with these clouds to clear the view, I lost my way to love that's true

In this rain, I can't see a thing

Am I still lying here alone,

So sure I'm right I've gone solo

Climb into every storm I find, never rest,

I been thinking, I been thinking, ooo I been thinking this, love is gonna end ...

LIVES CHANGE

He's walking away from all they know as if the rain will make him free

She's watching, to see if he'll look back, holds herself inside their sheets

Lives Change, holding on for words they never say

And the lies they can't erase like the lines along her face is all she's seeing through that window

She leans against the cold, sees a face she doesn't know, shakes her hair to make it young

They locked out every feeling, became the ones they never wanted as they drifted through that time

Lives Change, holding on for words they never say

And the time they can't replace, like the lines along her face, is all she's seeing in that window

Lives change, lives change

Lives change, holding on for words they never say

And the time they can't replace, and the lines along her face is all she's seeing in that window...

Lives change....

ONLY ONE

I'm going back in there, into the dark, going to wind my way through this broken oddysey

Where you've been hiding for so long, acting like you're real, got me so worn down I've forgotten how to feel.

Take my hands I'll melt you, turn you to the sun, turn us both until there's only one.

I know this place, I shared with you, where we traced our past and wore the patterns through

But now I'm naming all your names, seeing all your faces, that's guilt that's shame, that's made out of hate

Take my hands I'll melt you, turn you to the sun, turn us both until there's only one, only one

Now I'm seeing there's only one, now I' seeing there's only sun, now I'm seeing there's only one take my hands, there's only sun.

I'm taking you out here, staring you down, the more I look the less of you I see.

But now I'm laughing out loud, look how afraid you are, so full of sound and fury signifying nothing

Take my hands I'll melt you, turn you to the sun, turn us both until there's only one,

Take my hands I'll melt you turn you to the sun, turn us all until there's only one

I am only one, I am only sun....

AMSTERDAM CANALS

Amsterdam canals Johnny Cash is never coming back

Heard it on the walls, broken hearts will remember

Riding into town its a heavy load keeps you right down a bumpy ride into the centre of things

Roll along the stones to water flow running through this life I know, To what I meant to be

Amsterdam Canals Johnny Cash is singing September

How can you know, how can you know my soul

Count the steps down into the street the saddest sound in history love is carried away

I see you watching love where lovers meet get your mind back see the past is just a beautiful thing

Amsterdam Canals Johnny Cash is never coming back

Heard it on the waves, oh, oh oh they're playing our songs

Come on sadness we'll take the long way round,

We'll take all the time we need to see the beautiful things,

I want to roll along this way til I can figure out what's worse,

What I lost, what I lack, or what I'll never have

Amsterdam canals, Johnny Cash is singing September

Smooth the sails, may the warm winds bring us closer

BURN THE BOATS

Burn the boats she said before you come to bed, I'll put some magic in your night

Set the flames she said and watch the stormy red, we'll stand and watch the spirits fly

Do it right she said or don't do it at all

I'll wait to see the skylight glow

Burn the boats she said before you come to bed, that's really all you need to know

I'll burn the boats for you, for you, I'll burn the boats for you, just for you.

Burn the boats she said before you come to bed, I'll stand and watch the skyline

I know you better, I know you better than you know yourself, than you know yourself, then you'll know yourself.

Do it right she said or don't do it at all

I'll burn the boats for you just for you I'll burn the boats for you, just for you I'll burn the boats for you....
