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)


Silver And Gold

In the shit house, a shotgun
Praying hands hold me down
If only the hunter was hunted
In this tin can town,
No stars in the black sky
Looks like the sky fall down,
No sun in the daylight
Looks like it's chained
To the ground.
Broken back to the ceiling
Broken nose to the floor
I scream at the silence
That crawls under the door
(Under the floor).

The warden says,
"The exit is sold",
If you want a way out -
Silver and Gold.
Silver and Gold.

There's a rope around my neck
There's a trigger in your gun
Jesus say something!
I am someone!

I see the coming and the going
The captains and the kings
Their navy blue uniforms
Them bright and shiny things
Yes, captains and kings
In the slave ships hold
They came to collect
Silver And Gold
Silver And Gold

The temperature is rising
The fever white hot
Mister I ain't got nothing
But it's more that you've got.

These chains no longer bind me
Nor the shackles at my feet
Outside are the prisoners
Inside the free (set them free).

A prize fighter in a corner is told
Hit where it hurts -
For Silver And Gold
Silver and Gold.

[You can stop the world from turning round.
You just gotta pay a penny in the pound.]


Sweetest Thing

My love she throws me like a rubber ball
Oh oh oh, the sweetest thing
She won't catch me or break my fall
Oh oh oh, the sweetest thing
Baby's got blue skies overhead
But in this I'm a rain cloud
You know she likes a dry kind of love
Oh oh oh, the sweetest thing

I'm losing you
Hey hey hey,
I'm losing you, yeah
Ain't love the sweetest thing

I wanted to run but she made me crawl
Oh oh oh, the sweetest thing
Eternal fire, she turned me to straw
Oh oh, the sweetest thing
You know I got black eyes
Buy they burn so brightly for her
Mine is a blind kind of love
Oh oh oh, the sweetest thing

I'm losing you
Oh oh oh,
I'm losing you, yeah
Ain't love the sweetest thing
Oh oh oh, the sweetest thing
Oh oh, yeah

Blue-eyed boy meets a brown-eyed girl
Oh oh oh, the sweetest thing
You can sew it up but you still see the tear
Oh oh oh, the sweetest thing
Baby's got blue skies overhead
And in this I'm a rain cloud
You know we got a stormy kind of love
Oh oh oh, the sweetest thing
Oh oh, the sweetest thing
Oh oh oh, the sweetest thing
Oh oh oh, the sweetest thing
