Gold

Thank you for coming home
I'm sorry that the chairs are all worn
I left them here I could have sworn

These are my salad days
Slowly being eaten away
Just another play for today
Oh but I'm proud of you, but I'm proud of you

There's nothing left to make me feel small
Luck has left me standing so tall

Gold
Always believe in your soul
You're got the power to know
You're indestructible
Always believe in, because you are
Gold
Glad that you're bound to return
There's something I could have learned
You're indestructible, always believe in

After the rush has gone
I hope you find a little more time
Remember we were partners in crime

It's only two years ago
The man with the suit and the pace
You know that he was there on the case
Now he's in love with you, he's in love with you
And my love is like a prison wall
But you could leave me standing so tall

Gold
Always believe in your soul
You've got the power to know
You're indestructible
Always believe in, because you are
Gold
Glad that you're bound to return
There's something I could have learned
You're indestructible, always believe in

True

So true ...
Funny how it seems ...
Always in time, but never in line for dreams.
Head over heels, when toe to toe,
This is the sound of my soul. (This is the sound)

I bought a ticket to the world,
But now I've come back again.
Why do I find it hard to write the next line?
When I want the truth to be said...

Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah
I know this much is true.
Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah
I know this much is true.

With a thrill in my head and a pill on my tongue,
Dissolve the nerves that have just begun.
Listening to Marvin all night long.
This is the sound of my soul. (This is the sound)

Always slipping from my hands,
Sand's a time of it's own.
Take your seaside arms and write the next line,
Oh, I want the truth to be known...

Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah
I know this much is true.
Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah
I know this much is true.

I bought a ticket to the world,
But now I've come back again.
Why do I find it hard to write the next line?
When I want the truth to be said...

Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah
I know this much is true.
Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah
I know this much is true.

I know this much is...
I know this much is...
True.

I know this much is...
I know this much is...
True.

I know this much is...
I know this much is...
True.

I know this much is...
I know this much is...
True.

Only When You Leave

Laying in the after glow
I only want to learn what you know
But now you're leaving
How many hearts must you break?
How many calls must I make?
But now you're leaving

In this world all that I choose has come unbearable
But love is in your touch
Oh it's killing me so much

Only when you leave
I'll need to love you
And when the action has all gone
I'm just a little fool enough to need you
Fool enough too long
Only when you leave, you'll leave in danger
Oh I'll make sure that you pay
So give a little passion to a stranger
And take this soul away

I only want to make this things last
So how could this have gone so fast
And now you're leaving
How many times must I learn
It's only when you've gone that I burn
And now you're leaving

In the end, all that I left has come unbearable
It's hard to change your mind,
So leave it all behind

Only when you leave
I'll need to love you
And when the action has all gone
I'm just a little fool enough to need you
Fool enough to long
Only when you leave, you'll leave in danger
Oh I'll make sure that you pay
So give a little passion to a stranger
And take this soul away

Lifeline

Changing her colours she's off to the shore
She rides the soul train and he fight the law
There's a power in his voice and it makes her feel so sure
So live and live in love
One day hell build a statue with his hands
So gentle when he tries to understand
This subterfuge he never really planned
Now you're living in the lifeline
Were moving
In the lifeline
Were walking
In the lifeline
Were throwing
So live and let live in love
Exchanging their letters their exits begun
With deathless precision hes aiming his gun
A democracy of sorts that justifies the sun
So live and let live in love
Neither has the ghost of a chance
Those decisions only can be made once
You never really know just what you're giving
Till you're living in the lifeline
Were moving
In the lifeline
Were walking
In the lifeline
Were throwing
He could have built a statue with his hands
So gentle when he tries to understand
You never really know just what you're giving
Till you're living in the lifeline
Were moving
In the lifeline
Were walking
In the lifeline
Were throwing to you
But I'm not living

Communication

Communication always leaves in incomplete
The grass is greener, but its grown beneath my feet
Love inspiration is a message on a wing
But I have left in the words you'll never sing

Communication let me down
And I'm left here
Communication let me down
And I'm left here

Telex or tell me but its always second-hand
I'm incognito but no rendezvous been planned
Dictate or relate I could send it to your home
Return to sender I could sing it down the phone

I'm sitting and waiting by the telephone
Waiting for the bell to ring
Short change fumble
Dial-a-heart trouble
And I ain't got time for searching through the rubble

Communication let me down
And I'm left here
Communication let me down
And I'm left here

Instinction

Cheap bed, in the red
Sleep the words out of your head
Cold floor, nice and raw
Eat the meat that's on the floor
High tide, some disguise
Loving makes the cream taste nice
New shore, final score
Fresh demand, I'm wanting more
This might not last too long
So always take it
This might not last too long
So always take it
Reasons, reasons were here from the start
It's my instinction, it's my instinction
Reasons, reasons are part of the art
It's my instinction, it's my instinction
You cry, justify
But deep beneath the feelings lie
Photo, looking old
Memory makes the day feel cold
They've gone, sing your song
Walk the flow, ah, too slow
Post boom, second doom
Stealing cake to eat the moon
This might not last too long
So always take it
Reasons, reasons were here from the start
This might not last too long
So always take it
Reasons, reasons were here from the start
It's my instinction, its' my instinction
Reasons, reasons are part of the art
It's my instinction, it's my instinction
Stealing cake to eat the moon.

Chant No. 1 (I Don't Need This Pressure On)

I checked the time, it was almost time
A curious smell, an intangible crime
I'm washing my clothes, but the stain still grows
Cover your eyes, the stain still shows

I feel the gaze against my skin
I feel the gaze against my skin
I know this feeling is a lie
I know this feeling is a lie
There's a guilt within my mind
There's a guilt within my mind
I know this feeling is a lie
I know this feeling is a lie

I don't need this pressure on

Oh I should question not ignore
Oh I should question not ignore
Songs are always buried deep
Songs are always buried deep

There's a lion in my arms
There is a motion in my arm
Oh I should question not ignore
I should believe and not ignore

I don't need this pressure on
You go down, down
Pass the talk of town
You go down Greek street
Then it's underground
Well it's Soho life
For this mobile knife
It's the place to shoot
Friday night beat route

To Cut A Long Story Short

Soldier is turning
See him through white light
Running from strangers
See you in the valley
War upon war
Heat upon heat
To cut a long story short
I lost my mind
Sitting on a park bench
Years away from fighting
To cut a long story short
I lost my mind
Standing in the dark
Oh I was waiting for man to come
I am beautiful and clean
And so very very young
To be standing in the street
To be taken by someone
Questions questions
Give me no answers
That's all they ever give me
Questions questions
Oh look at the strange boy
He finds it hard existing
To cut a long story short
I lost my mind

The Freeze

Blue sing la lune sing lagoon,
These visions are making me stay,
The artist pretending it's art,
The question is where do you pay,
Unpack my case one more time,
I'll cancel my train once again,
Destiny give me a day,
Erogenous zones win again.

Blue sing la lune sing lagoon,
These visions are making me stay,
The artist pretending it's art,
The question is where do you pay,
Unpack my case one more time,
I'll cancel my train once again,
Destiny give me a day,
Erogenous zones win again.

Blue sing la lune sing lagoon,
These visions are making me stay,
The artist pretending it's art,
The question is where do you,
Do you pay.

Musclebound

We're building fires that will burn until morning
The smell of books and hot stone surround us
Tough is the leather that strapped to my skin
Strong are the bonds that we make

We feel the steam as it rises around us
Up from the soil that is cracking its back
Tough is the leather that strapped to my skin
Strong are the bonds that we sing

Work till you're musclebound all night long
Work till you're musclebound all night long
Gotta work till you're musclebound all night long
Gotta work till you're musclebound all night long

We're building fires that will burn until morning
The smell of books and hot stone surround us
Tough is the leather that strapped to my skin
Strong are the bonds that we make

To hear a pulsing from chanter to mountain
Down through the vein and into the grain
Strong is the shoulder that moves to the time
Here is the land it can break

Work till you're musclebound all night long
Work till you're musclebound all night long
Gotta work till you're musclebound all night long
Gotta work till you're musclebound all night long

Tough is the leather that strapped to my skin
Strong are the bonds that we sing

Work till you're musclebound all night long
Work till you're musclebound all night long
Gotta work till you're musclebound all night long
Gotta work till you're musclebound all night long

Paint Me Down

Paint me down
Paint me down
Paint me down

I'm walking into studio
Consider strange appeal
Paint me in the home
I'm brushing up on sketchbook
Designs for love unreal
Paint me in the home

Oil and skin you'll need to buy it
Consider what I mean
She sinks beneath the moving pictures
Prepare the brush for me
I'm craving with this need

Paint me down
Paint me down
Paint me down

I'm soaking up the surface
Conceiving new idea
Paint me in the home
She's oiling up her subject
But all still life is here
Paint me in the home

All the boys with framed dimension
A cover up on lust
He'll take his pain and paint it over
Prepare the brush for me
I'm craving with this need

Paint me down
Paint me down
Paint me down

She Loved Like Diamond

She ran the risk from unity
Obsession dies alone with tragedy
She loved like diamond
She loved like diamond
And cut so hard
She died

A passion course that leads to pain
An acid taste that laced her soul again
She loved like diamond
She loved like diamond
And cut so hard
She died

Another path, I've run them all
The rain has cleared the stains, no trace at all
She loved like diamond
She loved like diamond
And cut so hard
She died

Round And Round

I don't have to be so wise
You're just my fantasy
And I will fantasize
Something more or less to make this things started
Were the artisans
And we've been crafted
I wanna be your magical mystery
I wanna be your final history
This is the news
Nothings ever been so wild
All that I get to do
Is what I give to you
This is all about the circles we've found
And through the ups and downs
It goes round
Oh I was just beginning to grow strong
She was only eighteen summers long
We were the news
Round and round it goes
And oh don't you know
This is the game that we came here for
Round and round it goes,
And don't you know
This is the news of my life
Oh I was just beginning to grow strong
She was only eighteen summers long
We were the news
Round and round it goes
And oh don't you know
This is the game that we came here for
Round and round it goes,
And don't you know

Highly Strung

This is the song of little Jo
She's not the girl I used to know
Forever screaming all the day and night
She used to be a diplomat
But now she's down the laundromat
They washed her mind
And now she finds it hard
I know her name
But now she never seems the same
She don't talk to me
'Cause she can't take no sympathy
Because she's highly strung
Oh highly strung, she's undone
Highly strung
She's stepping out upon the ledge,
She's got a gun against her
She's wired up to blow
The power line
She's walking out upon the knife
She'll take you to the edge of life
Just like the song,
The pressure is on again
I know her name
But now she never seems the same
She don't talk to me
'Cause she can't take no sympathy
Because she's highly strung
Oh highly strung, she's undone
Highly strung
This is the song of little Jo
She's not the girl I used to know

Fight For Ourselves

Everybody, we've got to fight for ourselves
Everybody, we've got to fight for ourselves
Everybody, we've got to fight for ourselves
Everybody, we've got to fight for ourselves
So many people, so many problems
There in the pretty city lights
Where we've thrown it all away
Well, if life is here before my eyes
Then I find it hard to see
How the methods that were told to use
Are gonna make us free
Until then I say
Everybody, we've got to fight for ourselves
Everybody, we've got to fight for ourselves
All through the mystery,
All through the heartache
She's got the only single thing
That Ill never throw away
Oh, if lightning strikes for a second time
Will you come and pull me through?
Its a battle that we all must make,
So show me what to do
And you said
Everybody, we've got to fight for ourselves
Everybody, we've got to fight for ourselves
Well there's a feeling growing that is in this land,
There's a soul that's burning and its your hand
Everybody, we've got to fight for ourselves
Oh so many people now, there's so many problems
There in the pretty city lights
Where we've thrown it all away
Well, if life is here before my eyes
Then I find it hard to see
How the methods that were told to use
Are gonna make us free
Everybody, we've got to fight for ourselves
Everybody, we've got to fight for ourselves
Well there's a feeling growing that is in this land,
There's a soul that's burning and its your hand
Everybody, we've got to fight for ourselves

Through The Barricades

Mother doesn't know where love has gone
She says it must be youth
That keeps us feeling strong
I See it in her face, that's turned to ice
And when she smiles she shows
The lines of sacrifice
And now I know what they're saying
As our sun begins to fade
And we made our love on wasteland
And through the barricades

Father made my history
He fought for what he thought
Would set us somehow free
He taught me what to say in school
I learned it off by heart
But now that's torn in two
And now I know what they're saying
In the music of the parade
And We made our love on wasteland
And through the barricades

Born on different sides of life
We feel the same
And feel all of this strife
So come to me when I'm asleep
We'll cross the lines
And dance upon the streets
And now I know what they're saying
As the drums begin to fade
We made our love on wasteland
And through the barricades

Oh, turn around and I'll be there
Well there's a scar right through my heart
But I'll bare it again
Oh I thought we were the human race
But we were just another border-line-case
And the stars reach out and tell us
That there's always one escape
I don't know where love has gone
And in this troubled land
Desperation keep us strong
Fridays child is full of soul
With nothing left to lose
There's everything to go
And now I know what they're saying
It's a terrible beauty we've made
So we make our love on wasteland
And through the barricades
Now I know what they're are saying
As our hearts go to their graves
We made our love on wasteland
Oh oh oh through the barricades.
