A Sort of Homecoming
And you know it's time to go
Through the sleet and driving snow
Across the fields of mourning
Light in the distance
And you hunger for the time
Time to heal, desire, time
And you earth moves beneath
Your own dream landscape
Oh, oh, oh...
On borderland we run...
I'll be there
I'll be there...
Tonight
A high road
A high road out from here
The city walls are all come down
The dust, a smoke screen all around
See faces ploughed like fields that once
Gave no resistance
And we live by the side of the road
On the side of a hill
As the valley explode
Dislocated, suffocated
The land grows weary of its own
Oh, oh, oh... on borderland we run...
And still we run
We run and don't look back
I'll be there
I'll be there
Tonight
Tonight
I'll be there tonight... I believe
I'll be there... somehow
I'll be there... tonight
Tonight
The wind will crack in winter time
This bomb-blast lightning waltz
No spoken words, just a scream...
Tonight we'll build a bridge
Across the sea and land
See the sky, the burning rain
She will die and live again
Tonight
And your heart beats so slow
Through the rain and fallen snow
Across the fields of mourning
Light's in the distance
Oh don't sorrow, no don't weep
For tonight, at last
I am coming home
I am coming home
Pride (In The Name Of Love)
One man come in the name of love
One man come and go
One man come he to justify
One man to overthrow
In the name of love
What more in the name of love
In the name of love
What more in the name of love
One man caught on a barbed wire fence
One man he resist
One man washed on an empty beach.
One man betrayed with a kiss
In the name of love
What more in the name of love
In the name of love
What more in the name of love
(Nobody like you...)
Early morning, April 4
Shot rings out in the Memphis sky
Free at last, they took your life
They could not take your pride
In the name of love
What more in the name of love
In the name of love
What more in the name of love
In the name of love
What more in the name of love...
Wire
Innocent, and in a sense I am
Guilty of the crime that's now in hand
Such a nice day
Throw your life away
Such a nice day
Let it go
Cold these eyes, I can't believe it
Cold, this heart is slow
Heart is stone
Call me
Such a cold heart
Such a cold man
Watch you tear your self apart
So lay me down
My soul to give
So lay me down
The longest sleep
Oh, the longest sleep
In I come and out you go you get
Here we are again now, place your bets
Is this the time
The time to win or lose
Is this the time
The time to choose
Cold these eyes, I can't believe it
So deep inside a cold fire
Cold, this heart is slow...
Heart is stone
Any time your on there
(Kiss me...)
Won't you tell me
That's it just give me it
In some white track
You come right back
Cartoon cutout
Cut throat let out
I'm on your side
Be on the both side
I'm on right track
You get off my back
I'm no dope
I give you hope
Here's the rope
Here's the rope
Now... swing away
The Unforgettable Fire
Ice
Your only rivers run cold
These city lights
They shine as silver and gold
Dug from the night
Your eyes as black as coal
Walk on by
Walk on through
Walk 'til you run
And don't look back
For here I am
Carnival
The wheels fly and the colors spin
Through alcohol
Red wine that punctures the skin
Face to face
In a dry and waterless place
Walk on by
Walk on through
So sad to beseige your love so head on
Stay this time
Stay tonight in a lie
I'm only asking but I...
I think you know
Come on take me away
Come on take me away
Come on take me home
Home again
And if the mountain should crumble
Or disappear into the sea
Not a tear, no not I
Stay in this time
Stay tonight in...
Ever after, this love in time
And if you save your love
Save it all
Don't push me too far
Don't push me too far
Tonight
Tonight
Tonight...
Promenade
Earth sky sea and rain
Is she coming back again
Men of straw sneak a whore
Words that build or destroy
Dirt dry bone sand and stone
Barbed-wire fence cut me down
I'd like to be around
In a spiral staircase
To the higher ground
And I, like a firework, explode
Roman candle lightning lights up the sky
In the cracked streets trampled under foot
Sidestep, sidewalk
I see you stare into space
Have I got closer now
Behind the face
Oh... tell me...
Charity dance with me
Turn me around tonight
Up though spiral staircase
To the higher ground
Slide show see side town
Coca-cola football radio radio radio...

Bad
If you twist and turn away
If you tear yourself in two again
If I could, yes I would
If I could, I would
Let it go
Surrender
Dislocate
If I could throw this
Lifeless lifeline to the wind
Leave this heart of clay
See you walk, walk away
Into the night
And through the rain
Into the half-light
And through the flame
If I could through myself
Set your spirit free
I'd lead your heart away
See you break, break away
Into the light
And to the day
(Huu, hu)
(Huu, hu)
(Hu, huuu)
(Huu, hu)
(Huu, hu)
(Hu, huuu)
To let it go
And so to fade away
To let it go
And so fade away
I'm wide awake
I'm wide awake
Wide awake
I'm not sleeping
Oh, no, no, no
If you should ask then maybe they'd
Tell you what I would say
True colors fly in blue and black
Bruised silken sky and burning flag
Colors crash, collide in blood shot eyes
(Huu, hu)
(Huu, hu)
(Hu, huuu)
If I could, you know I would
If I could, I would
Let it go...
This desperation
Dislocation
Separation
Condemnation
Revelation
In temptation
Isolation
Desolation
Let it go
And so fade away
To let it go
And so fade away
To let it go
And so to fade away
I'm wide awake
I'm wide awake
Wide awake
I'm not sleeping
Oh, no, no, no
Indian Summer Sky
In the ocean
Cut, swim, deep the sky
Like there, I don't know why
In the forest, there's a clearing
I run there towards the light
Sky...
It's a blue sky
In the awful holding deep decide
If I could, I would
Up for air to swim against the tide
Hey, hey, hey
Up toward the sky
It's a blue sky
To lose along the way
The spark that set the flame
To flicker and to fade
On this the longest day
So wind blow through to my heart
So wind blow through my soul
So wind blow through to my heart
So wind blow through my soul
So wind blow through to my heart...
You give yourself to this the longest day
You give yourself, you give it all away
Two rivers run too deep
The seasons change and so do I
The light that strikes the tallest trees
The light that waits for I
The light... waiting
Up toward the sky
It's a blue sky
To lose along the way
The spark that set the flame
To flicker and to fade
On this the longest day
So wind go through to my heart
So wind blow through my soul
So wind go through to my heart
So wind blow through my soul
So wind go through to my heart
So wind blow through my soul
Elvis Presley And America
White flash, under my own love
Tell me of my own
White flash come though my own life
Telling these things
And I weary them
And I believe in you
White flash see the sky,
And it turns inside from you
She won't turn my back
And I know that it makes me blue
And you hope
And your sky is feeling blue
And your heart, so cold when I'm with you
And you feel, like no one told you to
And your time was on your side
Don't talk to me
Don't talk to me
Don't talk to me
Don't talk to me
You know, like no one told you how,
But you know the king that howls has howled
But you feel like sentimental
But you don't care without sharing in your heart
But there's no hope, go to sleep
So hope in sleep
I'm breaking through for you and me
And you don't
No one told you to
And you found out
Where you were going to
You were through with me,
But I know you should be back for more
You know, and no one told you so
And you know the sky,
And it's shade of blue
And you walk, you walk to let go
You pull from the outside, tell me
Don't fade away
Drop me down but don't break me
In your sleep
It's in your heart and mine
The whole sea is dark
Loving is on your side and walking through
So let me in your heart,
You beat is like something from you
They lost it
So stay (sad) over midnight
Oh stay (sad) under the sky
And you know, and no one told you how
And you cared,
And no one told, you tried
And your heart, it lift out from the side
And the rain beats down
And the shame beats down
And this rain keeps on coming down
And this time is right.
Don't let them push you by,
You're going to go join God
And if someone ask you why,
You tell them some old lie
Give away some ole lie
You know, and no one told you why
And you feel,
Like you pretend you can
Go you live
Don't you leave
Don't leave out part of me that I can feel
Like I can feel me fall
I can't hold on,
See that flaw
Let me feel
Let the pieces only flow
MLK
Sleep, sleep tonight.
And may your dreams
Be realized
If the thunder cloud
Passes rain
So let it rain, rain down him
So let it be
Sleep, Sleep tonight
And may your dreams be realized
If the thundercloud passes rain,
So let it rain
Let it rain, rain on him
(Martin Luther King)
