Chorus
You could meet somebody, you never know From brief encounters habits grow Into giant oaks that hide the sun Life in the shadows ain't no fun It's easy getting up there Never think of coming down Not hard to say "I want you" When you're floating on a cloud But you know that lonely feeling When nothing's going right 'Cause it's only the beginning Of a cold and sleepless night Chorus You could meet somebody, you never know From brief encounters habits grow Into giant oaks that hide the sun Your only chance is to turn and run It's harder getting up there And it's painful coming down And now you can't see clearly Beneath the thunder cloud And the loneliness gets longer When nothing's going right And things ain't getting any better With another sleepless night Chorus You could meet somebody, you never know From brief encounters habits grow Into giant oaks that hide the sun Your only chance is to turn and run |

I thought I knew you well, your right and wrong
Thought I could steal your secrets and put them in a song I thought that you'd be waiting patiently for me That only I could see You build me up and tell me lies You hold my hand, say close your eyes You're always pulling me down You make me lower my expectations You're always pulling me down Why do you complicate situations You're always pulling me down I don't know what else to do I'm still in love with you I wish that I could see things through your eyes I want to lift the veil and penetrate your lies I want to take your truth and hold it in my hand Maybe then I'll understand You contradict in a thousand ways You call the tune and guess who pays |

Did I ever say, how I feel about you
A thing I never found that easy to do The things that you do, don't need to be heard You know your actions, baby, speak louder than words Chorus I've got the bottle, bring me your cup Pop the cork, and try a sup And when you're empty, I'll fill you up We'll drink it down till the sun comes up I'm heading home, like a steaming train Foot to the floor, in the driving rain My head is aching and my mouth is dry I've got a thirst only you can satisfy Chorus I've got the bottle, bring me your cup Pop the cork and try a sup And when you're empty, I'll fill you up We'll drink it down till the sun comes up |

The neon haze of city lights
The tribal sound of marching feet Cuts through the gloom on cold dark nights The tired and homeless roam the streets The sirens wail the engines roar A shadowed man just glances around A victim of life's mindless toil Lies cold and helpless on the ground The window dummies silent stare Bear witness on the nights If they could move What it would proved To see them all take flight The neon haze of city lights The tribal sound of marching feet Cuts through the gloom on cold dark nights The tired and homeless roam the streets The walls shout loud with angry words The people air their views The poor can scream but no-one hears The concrete jungle sings the blues |

I'm running away
I've got to get home I'm lost in a crowd But I'm still on my own I'm looking ahead So I'm staying behind I'm not being cruel I'm just being kind I close my eyes It's no surprise I'm always there Can't count the times I've tried to hide And found nowhere I'm trying to lay low But I keep getting high My feet on the ground Got my head in the sky My eye on the future That's stuck in the past I find I can't lose When I aim to come last I realise It's no surprise That nothing's clear That black is white That day is night And there is here I'm right on the ball But I'm missing the mark I burn in the sun I'm scared of the dark Got an ivory tower With a bird's eye view Got plenty of time But nothing to do The best disguise It's no surprise Is disappear Can't count the times I've tried to hide And found nowhere I'm running away I've got to get home I'm lost in a crowd But I'm still on my own I'm looking ahead So I'm staying behind I'm not being cruel I'm just being kind I realise It's no surprise That nothing's clear That black is white That day is night And there is here The best disguise It's no surprise Is disappear Can't count the times I've tried to hide And found nowhere I close my eyes It's no surprise I'm always there Can't count the times I've tried to hide And found nowhere I realise It's no surprise That nothing's clear That black is white That day is night And there is here The best disguise It's no surprise Is disappear Can't count the times I've tried to hide And found nowhere |

I love it when you smile
When you're with me honey It happens all the while How it kills me when you cry And you know my heart That's no word of a lie Verse One Everyday you show me something new about you Honestly I could never live without you Look at me here's a soul who'll never doubt you And I will be forever by your side Repeat Chorus Verse Two Probably the greatest feeling I have ever known Actually is when you wrap yourself around me Promise me you'll stay now that I've found you And I will be forever by your side Repeat Chorus Verse Three And you could say you've heard it all before And I know that anyday you may walk out the door When I say no one will love you more believe me And I will be forever by your side Repeat Chorus |

Don't do the crime,
If you can`t do the time It's said that it just don't pay. But what good's working hard When all they give you is your cards And you know there's not much you can say. So you take what they give You've no money to live And your family don't understand. After all these years They will end up in tears With a mountain of bills in their hands. Chorus Now your lesson is learned There's nowhere to turn And it's no use pleading for help. When you're left on the heap There is nothing to keep you From going and helping yourself The dilemma you've found Is you`re morally bound Now your moral code needs a review So what do you care You know life isn't fair And for years they've been stealing from you. |

You try to close your ears
And you try to close your eyes But the blasphemies keep coming Tempting you with lies Chorus Give thanks for your protection Your watchdogs of the night Who hold the hungry wolves at bay And keep them out of sight, out of sight You just don't understand it But it strikes a distant chord So you look for away of escaping And sanity's restored Chorus Give thanks for your protection Your ....... Etc You focus your direction Cloak tightly pulled around But somewhere in the distance You can hear a haunting sound Chorus Give thanks for your protection Your ....... Etc You're in danger of corruption And you're always running scared You cannot make decisions You're completely unprepared Chorus Give thanks for your protection Your ....... Etc |

(Chorus)
Love Is all is alright But you left it a little to late Love is all is alright But you`ve got to find a little more hate. Take the man in the white cloak A pointed mask to hide his face Murders in the name of religion If you`re not the right colour or race. Take the man in the black cloak He`s holding justice in his hands, Lets the man in the white cloak go, Calls it the law of the land. (Chorus) Love Is all is alright.......etc Take the man in the brown shirt A burning hatred in his eyes Fired by ignorant reaction, Fanned by political lies Take the man in the blue cap His back`s against the wall Links arms with the man in the brown shirt He`s trying to break his own fall. (Chorus) Love Is all is alright.....etc |

A warm dry wind is all that breaks the silence,
The highways quiet scars across the land. People lie, eyes closed, no longer dreaming, The earth dies screaming. Like scattered pebbles, cars lie silent waiting, Oilless engines seized by dirt and sand. Bodies hanging limp, no longer bleeding, The earth dies screaming. The earth dies screaming The earth dies screaming Your country needs you, lets strike up the band. The earth dies screaming The earth dies screaming Despite all odds we must defend our land. Half eaten meals lie rotting on the tables, Money clutched within a boney hand. Shutters down, the banks are not receiving, The earth dies screaming. |

You might believe, and still you feel the chase has just begun.
That you must reach that horizon before the setting of the sun. You chase the light in front of you, nightfall close behind. If you stop to catch your breath, you know what you will find. Chorus Don't slow down don't touch the ground. You know what you will find. That old grey man in tattered clothes following behind. No time to stop, don't go to sleep, prepare to pay the cost. The hours and minutes are passing by, another day is lost. Impatience is a virtue, catch me if you can. The seconds have been ticking by since your life began |

Moon and stars sit way up high
Earth and trees beneath them lie The wind blows fragrant lullaby To cool the night for you and I On the wing the birds fly free Leviathan tames angry sea The flower waits for honeybee The sunrise wakes new life in me. Chorus And every hour of every day I'm learning more The more I learn, the less I know about before The less I know, the more I want to look around Digging deep for clues on higher ground... The fishes swim while rivers run Thru fields to feast my eyes upon Intoxicated drinking from The loving cup of burning sun In dreams I'll crave familiar taste Of whispered rain on weary face Of kisses sweet and warm embrace Another time another place Chorus And every hour of everyday I'm learning more The more I learn, the less I know about before The less I know, the more I want to look around Digging deep for clues on higher ground... |

A smile for every passing car
And when they stop with door ajar She shrugs and whispers que sera And turns her thoughts to the pillow Her face is etched with memories She finds now joy amid the sleaze It's hard when you've been paid to please So she turns her thoughts to the pillow Chorus Daylight comes she rests her head The beauty of an empty bed She dreams of happy days instead Of brooding on tomorrow She swapped her dreams of shining knights For pushers, bars and money fights For nameless faces in red light So she turns her head to the pillow Those black eyes don't hurt any more She's heard the jokes and jibes before She's felt the long arm of the law So she turns her head to the pillow Chorus Daylight comes ..... Etc Taking drugs was not for fun It made her feel like going on But now she hurts when its all gone And she turns her head to the pillow She take a blade and breaks her skin Sweet life force flows from within The white clouds in her head grow dim And she turns her head to the pillow Chorus Sunlight creeps across her head Pale beauty in a crimson bed No dreams of happy days ahead She'll have no more tomorrows |

A woman came and said to me
She'd seen a lady sell her baby For ten or twenty dollars maybe And everybody thinks she's crazy They're too blind to see She never failed to call attention To the things we never mention Real horror, daily, courtesy of your TV C'est La Vie A woman came and said to me Now listen very carefully There's brother killing brother People living on their knees Biting sugar coated bullets For the pain of this disease C'est La Vie A woman came and said to me She had a husband on an island Found his body on a wasteland Soldiers came and took him Just to torture her you see All alone she mourned her lover Crossed the sea to find a brother Maybe he could help her get her baby back for free C'est La Vie |
