Beautiful Day - (4:06)
The heart is a bloom,
Shoots up through the storny ground
But there's no room,
No space to rent in this town
You're out of luck,
And the reason that you had to care,
The traffic is stuck
And you're not moving anywhere.
You though you'd found a friend
To take you out of this place
Someone you could lend a hand in return for grace
It's a beautiful day,
The sky falls
And you feel like it's a beautiful day
It's a beautiful day
Don't let it get away
You're on the road,
But you got destination
You're in the mud,
In the maze of her imagination
You love this town
Even if it doesn't ring true
You've been all over
And it's been all over you
It's a beautiful day,
Don't let it get away
It's a beautiful day,
Don't let it get away
Touch me,
Take me to that other place
Teach me,
I know I'm not a hopless case
See the world in green and blue
See China right in front of you
See the canyons broken by cloud
See the tuna fleets clearing the sea out
See the Bedouin fires at nigh
See the oil fields at first light
See the bird with a leaf in her mouth
After the flood all the colours came out
It's a beautiful day,
Beautiful day,
Don't let it get away
Touch me,
Take me to that other place
Reach me,
I know I'm not a hopless case
What you don't have you don't need it now
What you don't know you can feel it somehow
What you don't have you don't need it now
You don't need it now, you don't need it now
Beautiful day
Stuck In A Moment You Can't Get Out Of - (4:32)
I'm not afraid of anything in this world
There's nothing you can throw at me that i haven't already heard
I'm just trying to find a decent melody
A song that I can sing in my own company
I never though you were a fool
But darling, look at you
You gotta stand up straight,
Carry your own weight
These tears are going nowere,
Baby
You've got to get yourself together
You've got stuck in a moment and now you can't get out of it
Don't say that later will be better now you're stuck in a moment
And now you can't get out of it
I will not forsake,
The colours that you bring
But the nights you filled with fireworks
They let you with nothing
I am still enchanted
By the light you brought to me
I still listen through your ears, and through your eyes I can see
And you are such a fool
To worry like you do
I know it's tough,
And you can never get enough
Of what you don't really need now...
My oh my
You've got to get yourself together
You've got stuck in a moment and now you can't get out of it
Oh love look at you now
You've got stuck in a moment and now you can't get out of it
I was the unconscious, half asleep
The water is warm 'till you discouver how deep...
I wasn't jumping... for me it was a fall
It was a long way down to nothing at all
You've got to get yourself together
You've got stuck in a moment and now you can't get out of it
Don't say that later will be better now
You're stuck in a moment and now you can't get out of it
And if the night runs over
And if the day won't last
And if the if our way should falter
Along the stony pass
And if the night runs over
And if the day won't last
And if the if our way should falter
Along the stony pass
It's just a moment
This time will pass
Elevation - (3:46)
High,
Higher then the sun
You shoot me from a gun
I need you to elevate me here,
At the corner of your lips
As the orbit of your hips
Eclipse,
You elevate my soul
I've lost all self-control
Been living like a mole
Now going down,
Excavation
I and I in the sky
You make me feel like I can fly
So high,
Elevation
A star lit up like a cigar
Strung out like a guitar
Maybe you could educate my mind
Explain all these controls
I can't sing but I've got soul
The goal is elevation
A mole,
Living in a hole
Digging up my soul
Going down,
Excavation
I and I in the sky
You make me feel like I can fly
So high,
Elevation
Love,
Lift me out of these blues
Won't you tell me something true
I believe in you
A mole,
Living in a hole
Digging up my soul
Going down,
Excavation
I and I in the sky
You make me feel like I can fly
So high,
Elevation
Elevation...
Elevation...
Elevation...
Elevation...
Elevation...
Elevation...
Walk On - (4:55)
An love is not the easy thing
The only baggage you can bring...
And love is not the easy thing...
The only baggage you can bring
Is all that you can't leave behind
And if the darkness is to keep us apart
And if the daylight feels like it's a long way off
And if your glass heart should crack
And for a second you turn back
Oh no,
Be strong
Walk on, walk on
What you got they can't steal it
No they can't even feel it
Walk on, walk on...
Stay safe tonight
You're packing a suitcase for a place none of us has been
A place that has to be believed to be seen
You could have flown away
A singing bird in an open cage
Who will only fly,
Only fly for freedom
Walk on, walk on
What you got they can't deny it
Can't sell it, can't buy it
Walk on, walk on...
Stay safe tonight
And I know it aches
And your heart it breaks
And you can only take so much
Walk on, walk on
Home... hard to know what it is if you never had one
Home... I can't say where it is but i know I'm going home
That's where the hurt is
And I know it aches
And your heart it breaks
And you can only take so much
Walk on, walk on
Leave it behind
You've got to leave it behind
All that you fashion
All that you make
All that you biuld
All that you break
All that you measure
All that you steal
All this you can leave behind
All that you reason
All that you sense
All that you speak
All you dress up
All that you scheme...

Kite - (4:23)
Something
Is about to give
I can feel it coming
I think I know what is means
I'm not afraid to die
I'm not afraid to live
And when I'm flat on my back
I hope to feel like I did
'Cause hardness,
It sets in
You need some protection
The thinner the skin
I want you to know
That you don't need me anymore
I want you to know
You don't need anymore, anything at all
Who's to say where the wind will take you
Who's to know what it is will break you
I don't know which way the wind will blow
Who's to know when the time has come around
Don't wanna see you cry
I know that this is not goodbye
In summer I can taste the salt in the sea
There's a kite blowing out of control on a breeze
I wonder what's gonna happen to you
You wonder what has happened to me
I'm a man,
I'm not a child
A man who sees
The shadow behind your eyes
Who's to say where the wind will take you
Who's to know what it is will break you
I don't know which way the wind will blow
Who's to know when the time has come around
Don't wanna see you cry
I know that this is not goodbye
Did I waste it ?
Not so much I couldn't taste it
Life should be fragrant
Roof top to the basement
The last of the rock stars
When hip hop drove the big cars
In the time when new media
Was the big idea
That was the big idea
In A Little While - (3:37)
In a little while
Surely you'll be mine
In a little while... I'll be there
In a little while
This hurts no more
I'll be home, love
When the night takes a deep breath
And the daylight has no air
If I crawl, if I come crawling home
Will you be there ?
In a little while
I won't be blown by every breeze
Friday night running on Sunday on my knees
That girl, that girl she's mine
Well I've known her since,
Since she's was
A little girl with Spanish eyes
When I saw her first in pram they pushed her by
Oh my, my how you've grown
Well it's been, it's been... a little while
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Slow down my beating heart
A man dreams one day to fly
A man takes a rocket ship into the skies
He lives on a star that's dying in the night
And follows in the trail, the scatter of light
Turn it on, turn it on, you turn me on
Slow down my beating heart
Slowly, slowly love
Slow down my beating heart
Slowly, slowly love
Slow down my beating heart
Slowly, slowly love
Wild Honey - (3:45)
In the days
When we were swinging from the trees
I was a monkey
Stealing honey from a swarm of bees
I could taste
I could taste you even then
And I would chase you down the wind
You could go there if you please
Wild honey
And if you go there, go with me
Wild honey
Did I know you ?
Did I know you even then ?
Before the clocks kept time
Before the world was made
From the cruel sun
You were shelter
You were my shelter and my shade
If you go there with me
Wild honey
You can do just what you please
Wild honey
Yeah, just blowing in the breeze
Wild honey
Wild,
Wild,
Wild
I'm still standing,
I'm still standing
Where you left me
And you still growning wild
With everything tame around you ?
I send you flowers
Cut flowers for your hall
I know your garden's full
But is there sweetness at all ?
Oh oh oh
If you go there with me
Wild honey
Won't you take me, take me please
Wild honey
Yeah, swinging through the trees
Wild honey
Wild,
Wild,
Wild
Peace On Earth - (4:46)
Heaven on Earth
We need it now
I'm sick of all of this
Hanging around
Sick of sorrow
Sick of pain
Sick of hearing again and again
That there's gonna be
Peace on Earth
Where I grew up
There weren't many trees
Where there was we'd tear them down
And use them on our enemies
They say that what you mock
Will surely overtake you
And you become a monster
So the monster will not break you
It's already gone too far
Who said that if you go in hard
You won't get hurt
Jesus could you take the time
To throw a drowning man a line
Peace on Earth
Tell the ones who hear no sound
Whose sons are living in the ground
Peace on Earth
No whos or whys
No-one cries like a mother cries
For peace on Earth
She never got to say goodbye
To see the colour in his eyes
Now he's in the dirt
That's peace on Earth
They're reading names out over the radio
All the folks the rest of us won't get know
Sean and Julia, Gareth, Ann and Breda
Their lives are bigger, than any big idea
Jesus could you take the time
To throw a drowning man a line
Peace on Earth
Tell the ones who hear no sound
Whose sons are living in the ground
Peace on Earth
Jesus this song you wrote
The words are stiking in my through
Peace on Earth
Hear it every Christmas time
But hope and history whon't rhyme
So what's it worth ?
This peace on Earth
Peace on Earth
Peace on Earth
Peace on Earth
When I Look At The World - (4:15)
When you look at the world
What is it that you see ?
People find all kinds of things
That bring them to their knees
I see an expression
So clear and so true
That it changes the atmosphere
When you walk into the room
So I try to be likw you
Try to feel it like you do
But without you it's no use
I can't see what you see
When I look at the world
When the night is someone elses
And you're trying to get some sleep
When your thoughts are to expensive
To ever want to keep
When there's all kinds of chaos
And everyone is walking lame
You don't even blink now, do you
Or even look away
So I try to be like you
Try to feel it like you do
But without you it's no use
I can't see what you see
When I look at the world
I can't wait any longer
I can't wait 'till I'm stronger
Can't wait any longer
To see what you see
When I look at the world
I'm in the waiting room
Can't see for the smoke
I think of you and your holy book
While the rest of us choke
Tell me, tell me,
What do you see ?
Tell me, tell me,
What's wrong with me
New York - (5:28)
In New York freedom looks like too many choices
In New York I found a friend to drown out the other voices
Voices on the cell phone
Voices from home
Voices of the hard sell
Voices down the stairwell
In New York,
Just got a place in New York
In New York summers get hot,
Well into the hundreds
You can't walk around the block
Without a change of clothing
Hot as a hairdryer in your face
Hot as a handbag and a can of mace
Just got a place in New York
In New York,
Just got a place in New York
In New York,
In New York
In New York you can forget,
Forget how to sit still
Tell yourself you will stay in
But it's down do Alphaville
New York, New York, New York
New York, New York, New York
The Irish have been coming here for years
Feel like they own the place
They got the airport, city hall, concrete, asphalt, they even got the police
Irish, Italian, Jews and Hispanics
Religious nuts, political fanatics in the stew,
Living happily not like me and you
That's where I lost you... New York
New York, New York, New York
New York, New York, New York
In New York I lost it all to you and your vices
Still I'm staying on to figure out my mid life crisis
I hit an iceberg in my life
But you know I'm still afloat
You lose your balance, lose your wife
In the queue for the lifeboat
You got to put the women and children first
But you've got an unquenchable thirst for New York
New York, New York
New York, New York
In the stillness of the evening
When the sun has had its day
I heard your voice a-whispering
Come away child
New York, New York
Grace - (5:31)
Grace,
She takes the blame
She coveres the shame
Removes the stain
It could be her name
Grace,
It's first the name of a girl
It's also a thought that changed the world
And when she walks on the street
You can hear the strings
Grace finds goodness in everything
Grace,
She's got the walk
Not on a ramp or on chalk
She's got the time to talk
She travels outside of karma
She travels outside of karma
When she goes to work
You can hear her strings
Grace finds beauty in everything
Grace,
She carries a world on her hips
No champagne flute for her lips
No twirls or skips between her fingertips
She carries a pearl in perfect condition
What once was hurt
What once was friction
What left a mark
No longer stings
Because Grace makes beauty
Out of ugly things
Grace finds beauty in everything
Grace finds goodness in everything
Grace makes beauty of ugly things
The Ground Beneath Her Feet - (5:31)
All my life I worshipped her
Her golden voice, her beauty's beat
How she made us feel
How she made me real
And the ground beneath her feet
And the ground beneath her feet
And now I can't be sure of anything
Black is white, and cold is heat
For what I worshipped stole my love away
It was the ground beneath her feet
It was the ground beneath her feet
Go lightly down your darkened way
Go lightly underground
I'll be down there in another day
I won't rest until you're found
Let me love you true, let me rescue you
Let me lead you to where two roads meet
O come back above
When there's only love
And the ground beneath her feet
And the ground beneath her feet
Lyric by Salman Rushdie
