Miami / Bullet The Blue Sky

Weather 'round here choppin' and changin',
Surgery in the air...
Print shirts and southern accents,
Cigars and big hair...
We got the wheels and petrol is cheap,
Only went there for a week...
Got the sun got the sand,
Got the batteries in the handycam...

Her eyes all swimming pool blue,
Dumb bells on a diving board...
Baby's always attracted to the things she's afraid of...
Big girl with the sweet tooth,
Watches the skinny girl in the photo shoot...
Freshmen squeaky clean,
She tastes of chlorine...

Love the movies...
Love to walk those movie sets...
Get to shoot someone in the foot,
Get to smoke some cigarettes...
No big deal we know the score,
Just back from the video store...
Got the car and the car chase,
What's he got inside the case...
I want a close up of that face,
Here comes the car chase...

MIAMI MY MAMMY
MIAMI

I bought two new suits... Miami...
Pink aND BLUE... MIAMI...
I TOOK A PICTURE OF YOU... Miami
Getting hot in a photo booth... Miami...
I said you looked like a madonna,
You said... Maybe...
Said I want to have your baby... BABY...
WE COULD MAKE something beautiful,
Something that wouldn't be a problem,
At least not in... Miami...

Some places are like your auntie,
But there's no place like...
MIAMI MY MAMMY

In the howling wind comes a stinging rain
See it driving nails into souls on the tree of pain
From the firefly, a red orange glow
See the face of fear running scared in the valley below

Bullet the blue sky
Bullet the blue

In the locust wind comes a rattle and hum
Jacob wrestled the angel and the angel was overcome
Plant a demon seed, you raise a flower of fire
See them burning crosses, see the flames, higher and higher

Bullet the blue sky
Bullet the blue

Suit and tie comes up to me
His face red
Like a rose on a thorn bush
Like all the colours of a royal flush
And he's peeling off those dollar bills
(Slapping them down), one hundred, two hundred,
And I can see the fighter planes
And I can see the fighter planes
Across the mud huts as the children sleep
Through the alleys of a quit city street
Up the staircase to the first floor
We turn the key and slowly unlock the door
A man breathes deep into a saxophone
Through the walls we hear the city groan
Outside is America
Outside is America



Please / Sunday Bloody Sunday

So you never knew love until you crossed the line of grace,
And you never felt wanted 'till you had someone slap your face,
So you never felt alive until you almost wasted away...

You had to win,
You couldn't just pass,
The smartest ass,
At the top of the class...
Your flying colours,
Your family tree,
And all your lessons in history...

Please... please... please get up off your knees...
Please... please... leave me out of this... please...

So you never knew how long you'd stoop to make that call,
And you never knew what was on the ground 'till they made you crawl,
So you never knew that the heaven you keep you stole...

Your catholic blues,
Your convent shoes,
Your stick on tattoos,
Now they're making the news...
Your holy war,
Your northern star,
Your sermon on the mount,
From the boot of your car...
Please... please... please get up off your knees...
Please... please... leave me out of this... please...
So love is hard and love is tough,
But love is not what you're thinking of...

September... streets capsizing... spilling over, down the drain
... shards of glass splinters like rain but you could only feel your own pain...
October... talking getting nowhere... November... December... remember...
Are we just starting again... ?
Please... please... please get up off your knees...
Please... please... please...

So love is big bigger than us,
But love is not what you're thinking of...
IT'S what lovers deal it's what lovers steal,
You know I've found it hard to recieve,
'Cause you my love I could never believe...

Yes...

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...



Where The Streets Have No Name

I want to run
I want to hide
I want to tear down the walls
That hold me inside
I want to reach out
And touch the flame
Where the streets have no name

I want to feel sunlight on my face
See that dust cloud disappear without a trace
I want to take shelter from the poison rain
Where the streets have no name

Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name
We're still building
Then burning down love, burning down love
And when I go there
I go there with you....
(It's all I can do)

The cities a flood
And our love turns to rust
We're beaten and blown by the wind
Trampled in dust
I'll show you a place
High on a desert plain
Where the streets have no name

Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name
Still building
Then burning down love
Burning down love
And when I go there
I go there with you
(It's all I can do)

If You Wear That Velvet Dress - (5:15)

Tonight the moon is playing tricks again,
Feeling sea sick again...
And the whole world could just dissolve...
Into a glass of water...

I've been good 'cause I know you don't want me to,
do you really want me to be blue as you...
It's her daylight that gets me through...

We've been here before...
Last time you scratched at my door...
The moon was naked and cold I was like a two year old,
Who just wanted more...
If you wear that velvet dress...
If you wear that velvet dress...

Tonight the moon has drawn its curtains,
It's a private show no one else going to know...
I'm wanting...

Sunlight sunlight fills my room,
It's sharp and it's clear,
But nothing at all like the moon...

It's okay... the struggle for things not to say,
I never listened to you anyway,
And I got my own hands to pray...

But if you wear that velvet dress...
But if you wear that velvet dress...

Tonight the moon is a mirrorball,
Light flickers from across the hall,
Who'll catch the star when it falls...

If you wear that velvet dress...



With Or Without You

See the stone set in your eyes
See the thorn twist in your side
I wait for you
Slight of hand and twist of fate
On a bed of nails she makes me wait
And I wait.... without you

With or without you
With or without you

Through the storm we reach the shore
You give it all but I want more
And I'm waiting for you

With or without you
With or without you
I can't live
With or without you

And you give yourself away
And you give yourself away
And you give
And you give
And you give yourself away

My hands are tied
My body bruised, she's got me with

Nothing left to win
And nothing else to lose

With or without you
With or without you
I can't live
With or without you



Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me

You don't know how you took it
You just know what you got
Oh Lordy you've been stealing
From the theives and you got caught
In the headlights
Of a stretch car
You're a star

Dressing like your sister
Living like a tart
They don't know what you're doing
Babe, it must be art
You're a headache
In a suitcase
You're a star

Oh no, don't be shy
You don't have to go blind
Hold me, thrill me, kiss me, kill me

You don't know how you got here
You just know you want out
Believing in yourself
Almost as much as you doubt
You're a big smash
You wear it like a rash
Star

Oh no, don't be shy
There's a crowd to cry
Hold me, thrill me, kiss me, kill me

They want you to be Jesus
They'll go down on one knee
But they'll want their money back
If you're alive at thirty-three
And you're turning tricks
With your crucifix
You're a star

(Oh child)

Of course you're not shy
You don't have to deny love
Hold me, thrill me, kiss me, kill me



Mysterious Ways

Johnny take a walk
With your sister the moon
Let her pale light in
To fill up your room
You're been living underground
Eating from a can
You're running away
From what you don't understand

She's slippy
You're sliding down
She'll be there
When you hit the ground

It's alright... it's alright... it's alright
She moves in mysterious ways
It's alright... it's alright... it's alright
She moves in mysterious ways

Johnny take a dive
With your sister the rain
Let her talk about the things
You can't explain
To touch is to heal
To hurt is to steal
If you want to kiss the sky
Better learn how to kneel... (on your knees boy !)

She's the wave
She turns the tide
She sees the man inside the child

It's alright... it's alright... it's alright
She moves in mysterious ways
It's alright... it's alright... it's alright
She moves in mysterious ways
It's alright... it's alright... it's alright
She moves in mysterious ways
It's alright... it's alright... it's alright
Lift my days... light up my nights

One day you'll look back
And you'll see
Where
You were held how
By this love
While
You could stand
There
And not move on this moment
Follow this feeling

It's alright... it's alright... it's alright
She moves in mysterious ways
It's alright... it's alright... it's alright
We moves through miracle days
Spirit move in mysterious ways
She moves with it
She moves with it
Lift my days and light up my nights



One

Is it getting better
Or do you feel the same ?
Will it make it easier on you
Now you got someone to blame ?

You say
One love
One life
When it's one need
In the night
It's one love
We get to share it
It leaves you baby
If you don't care for it

Did I disppoint you ?
Or leave a bad taste in your mouth ?
You act like you never had love
And you whant me to go withwout

Well It's too late
Tonight
To drag the past out
Into the light
We're one
But we're not the same
We get to carry each other
Carry each other
One

Have you come here for forgiveness
Have you come to raise the dead
Have you come here to play Jesus
To the lepers in your head ?
Did I ask too much
More than a lot
You gave me nothing
Now it's all I got
We're one
But we're not the same
We hurt each other
Then we do it again

You say
Love is a temple
Love a higher law
Love is a temple
Love the higher law
You ask me to enter
But then you made me crawl
And I can't be holding on
To what you got
When all you got is hurt

One love
One blood
One life
You got to do what you should

One life
With each other
Sisters
Brothers

One life
But we're not the same
We got to carry each other
Carry each other

One

One
