Across the plateau no clouds storm the sky
Above the riverbed the world's run dry
I beat the air, for those who hear
And through the night my call goes out unheard,
I cry for company and get no word
The silent groan, God only knows,
I stand alone.
The wind divides the empty shells below
Deep in the valley night begins to grow
The memory, the best of me
From out the shadows something takes my hand
To lead me homeward through a foreign land,
The silence grown, the palest eyes ,I'm the only one.
A mother's son, a father's pride,
How can I run and where to hide?
I close my eyes and hope tonight
My healing flesh will be all right
A baby cries, another ghost,
A different side to claim the most,
My blood gone black and down to dust
So save my soul or let me die,I'm still alive.
I'm on the other side, Shaken down, lovely but cockeyed
No wonder I feel nervous ,Lord, they don't deserve us anyway.
I want to burn these wings ,You can see how it's happening
Still they're telling me to smack the enemy ,It's killing time!
I should have known before, Only bad's half as good as dead
I can't go any faster, stuck like alabaster, White as I know.
We stand in lines of old, staying cold, Swallow all the anger,
Releases get away, coming down, Across the fields of amber
To the water, ocean far below.]As the mirror to the sun,
The colour of the evening, never let go,
Hold my stomach, keep it tight,
They're pulling out the breathing, let it go
If you ever change your mind,Don't be caught alone, no, it's only me,
With all the hopes and fears combined,
It's hard to care for living anymore,I wouldn't let you down again.
Inspired by hunger, fired by lust,I sold the children's faces, painted gold,
Something moving taking hold,
Is gathering but never growing old,
I did everything I could just to say,Believe me, you're not alone,
But with the winter in my bones,Oh what else can I do now?
It's only me,I wouldn't let you down again.
Break back to back lately, Oh and how they moved when I was younger than this
Get my spirit caught beneath the surface, See me play dead today
I love my daydreams, leave my doldrums, Armies of priests
All come to practice their party pieces,
Pounding like metal from side to side,
To shoot, to save, And risk that horizon ,No smoke can shield, it stays unhealed,
Safe in our stillness ,At last we see him rise from out the earth
I set the silhouette that leaves me scarred
Lost my condition from the perfect star,
I caught the fire, can't help but see,
There's none to carry on.
I knew these plains before the world was mine,
With no escape in mind, I'll be resigned
Inside alone, I know for sure,
The future's all gone
Above the riverbed the world's run dry
I beat the air, for those who hear
And through the night my call goes out unheard,
I cry for company and get no word
The silent groan, God only knows,
I stand alone.
The wind divides the empty shells below
Deep in the valley night begins to grow
The memory, the best of me
From out the shadows something takes my hand
To lead me homeward through a foreign land,
The silence grown, the palest eyes ,I'm the only one.
A mother's son, a father's pride,
How can I run and where to hide?

You got to be crazy, you gotta have a real need
You gotta sleep on your toes and when you're on the streets
You gotta be able to pick out the easy meat
With your eyes closed
Then moving in silently, down wind and out of sight
You gotta strike when the moment is right without thinking
And after a while, you can work on points for style
Like the club tie and the firm handshake
A certain look in the eye, an easy smile
You have to be trusted by the people that you lie to
So that when they turn their backs on you
You'll get the chance to put the knife in
You gotta keep one eye looking over your shoulder
You know it's going to get harder
Harder, harder as you get older
And in the end you'll pack up, fly down south
Hide your head in the sand
Just another sad old man, all alone and dying of cancer
And when you lose control you'll reap the harvest you have sown
And as the fear grows, the bad blood slows and turns to stone
And it's too late to lose the weight
You used to need to throw around
So have a good drown as you go down all alone
Dragged down by the stone
I gotta admit that I'm a little bit confused
Sometimes it seems to me as if I'm just being used
Gotta stay awake gotta try and shake off
This creeping malaise
If I don't stand my own ground
How can I find my way out of this maze?
Deaf, dumb and blind, you just keep on pretending
That everyone's expendable and no one has a real friend
And it seems to you the thing to do
Would be to isolate the winner
And everything's done under the sun
And you believe at heart, everyone's a killer
Who was born in a house full of pain?
Who was trained not to spit in the fan?
Who was told what to do by the man?
Who was broken by trained personnel?
Who was fitted with collar and chain?
Who was given a pat on the back?
Who was breaking away from the pack?
Who was only a stranger at home?
Who was ground down in the end?
Who was found dead on the phone?
Who was dragged down by the stone?
Who was dragged down by the stone?
You gotta sleep on your toes and when you're on the streets
You gotta be able to pick out the easy meat

And I hope and I prey, that maybe someday, you'll walk in the room with my heart. Add and subtract, but as a matter of fact, now that you're gone I still want you back.

You've gotta be yourself, you can't be no one else
I'm feeling supersonic
Give me gin and tonic
You can have it all but how much do you want it?

Midnight to six man
For the first time from Jamaica
Dillinger and Leroy Smart
Delroy Wilson, your cool operator
Ken Boothe for UK pop reggae
With backing bands sound systems
And if they've got anything to say
There's many black ears here to listen
But it was Four Tops all night with encores from stage right
Charging from the bass knives to the treble
But onstage they ain't got no roots rock rebel
Onstage they ain't got no...roots rock rebel
Dress back jump back this is a bluebeat attack
'Cos it won't get you anywhere
Fooling with your guns
The British Army is waiting out there
An' it weighs fifteen hundred tons
White youth, black youth
Better find another solution
Why not phone up Robin Hood
And ask him for some wealth distribution
Punk rockers in the UK
They won't notice anyway
They're all too busy fighting
For a good place under the lighting
The new groups are not concerned
With what there is to be learned
They got Burton suits, ha you think it's funny
Turning rebellion into money
All over people changing their votes
Along with their overcoats
If Adolf Hitler flew in today
They'd send a limousine anyway
I'm the all night drug-prowling wolf
Who looks so sick in the sun
I'm the white man in the Palais
Just lookin' for fun
I'm only
Looking for fun

the old cat on the roof
he could stand a little push
'cause he's got nine good lives to live
but like my momma said
you only live till you're dead
and you got to give and give and give
there's a pebble in the pond
goin' on and on,
makin' waves and tides and ripples and rings
there's a leaf in the wind
that don't know where to end
chasin' days and ways and wishes and dreams
seems like ev'ry one
is out lookin' for the sun
singin' rain and pain on he who hesitates
but it'll shine when it shines
you might think I'm wastin' time
but I'm just a good old boy that's learned to wait
whippoorwill's in the dawn
pretty soon, he'll be gone
and he's got one good song to sing
but like my daddy said,
it's in your heart, not your head
and you got to sing and sing and sing
there's a window in the wall
lookin' out on it all
leavin' fears and tears and troubles alone
there's a fire in the stove
keepin' out the cold,
warmin' wine and winters and babies and homes
seems like ev'ry one
is out lookin' for the sun
singin' rain and pain on he who hesitates
but it'll shine when it shines

Nothing in this world
Can touch the music that I heard
When I woke up this morning
It put the Sun into my life
It cut my heartbeat with a knife
It was like no other morning
I don't belong to noone
But I want to be with you
I can't be owned by noone
What am I supposed to do
I can't see the sense in your leaving
All I need is your love to believe in
Don't look into the sun
It's not for me or anyone
To steal the light out of the sky
Is it really such a sin
'Cause if it is then I'll give in
I can't live without your love
I don't belong to noone
But I want to be with you
I can't be owned by noone
What am I supposed to do
I can't see the sense in your leaving
All I need is your love to believe in
And for you I would do what I can
But I can't change the way that I am
Can touch the music that I heard
When I woke up this morning
It put the Sun into my life
It cut my heartbeat with a knife
It was like no other morning
I don't belong to noone
But I want to be with you
I can't be owned by noone
What am I supposed to do
I can't see the sense in your leaving
All I need is your love to believe in
Don't look into the sun
It's not for me or anyone
To steal the light out of the sky

'Cause if it is then I'll give in
I can't live without your love
I don't belong to noone
But I want to be with you
I can't be owned by noone
What am I supposed to do
I can't see the sense in your leaving
All I need is your love to believe in
And for you I would do what I can
But I can't change the way that I am

All the other kids with the pumped up kicks,you better run,better run,faster than my bullet
There's a gang I've just joined
There's a gang I've just joined
Three million strong you'd agree
Four million strong you'd agree
Enrollment was easy, so easy
Getting out proves to be the difficulty
From Land's End to John O'Groats
From Land's End to John O'Groats
They are making ends meet
Mending holes in their coat
Fasting and feasting on bread and margarine
Burning dreams built upon buried hopes
United Kingdom - you'd better ring them
You've a solution - you better bring them
United Kingdom - United Kingdom
You've a solution - you better bring them
Opportunity, I guess they all came and went
Finding it hard
Finding the rent you'll find it funny
With your finger running down
Situations vacant
In school he was an athlete
Now he's not so self-assured
"After all of these O-levels is this my reward?"
There's a silent majority, that's seen and
never heard from Charles I, Charles II
To Charles III
United Kingdom - you'd better ring them
You've a solution - you better bring them
United Kingdom - United Kingdom
This busted, rusted, upper-crusted
Bankrupted done and dusted
No-man-to-be-trusted United Kingdom
Proud to stand beneath the Union Jack?
Happy dealing up a no ace pack?
Polishing black boots
Priming the riot squad
There go I but for the grace of God
Covering up the agony with mindless entertainment
You'll be happy when they're ripping up the pavement
Bringing down the axe on steelworks and foundries
Someone said love knows no boundaries
Close your eyes and think of England
Lie back and think of her
United Kingdom - you better ring them
You've a solution - you better bring them
Things just don't seem to change.

I've watched your face for a long time
It's always the same
I've studied the cracks and the wrinkles
You were always so vain
Well, now you live your life like a shadow
In the pouring rain
Oh, it's called love
Yes, it's called love
Oh, it's called love
And it belongs to us
Oh, it dies so quickly
It grows so slowly
But when it dies, it dies for good
It's called love
And it belongs to everyone but us
I've lived my life in the valleys
I've lived my life on the hills
I've lived my life on alcohol
I've lived my life on pills
But it's called love
And it belongs to us
It's called love
And it's the only thing that's worth living for
It's called love
And it belongs to us
It's called love
Yes it's called love
Oh, love is found in the east and west
But when love is at home, it's the best
Love is the cure for every evil
Love is the air that supports the eagle
It's called love
And it's so un-cool
It's called love
And somehow it's become unmentionable
It's called love
And it belongs to every one of us
It's called love
And it cuts your life like a broken knife
It's always the same
I've studied the cracks and the wrinkles
You were always so vain
Well, now you live your life like a shadow

From 'States of Mind' by Senser
No fuck that - you won't take me
you won't break me and you'll never make me
step in line, step march in time.
Well you can violate my body but my soul is still mine.
You must think that I'm fucking stupid, man,
if you think I'm gonna hang with the program,
some fool schedule.
I don't give a shit about what is or isn't cool.
I make the rules, I stand alone
and if they try a tap I leave 'em hangin' on the telephone.
One of these days I'm gonna get sectioned, [1.1]
I bet they even say it's for my own protection.
Rejection leads straight to correction.
Look out, here comes a strange injection...
They've got a drug to numb my erection,
but they won't take this from me:
My State of Mind.

You say the hill's too steep to climb,
Climb it!
You say you'd like to see me try,
Climb it!
You pick the place and I'll choose the time
And I'll climb
The hill in my own way
Just wait a while, for the right day
And as I rise above the treeline and the clouds
I look down hear the sound of the things you said today
Fearlessly the idiot faced the crowd, smiling
Merciless, the magistrate turns 'round, frowning
And who's the fool who wears the crown
Go down in your own way
And everyday is the right day
And as you rise above the fearlines in the frown
You look down
Hear the sound of the faces in the crowd
Climb it!

Remember boy that your forefathers died
Lost in millions for a country's pride
Never mention the trenches of Belgium
When they stopped fighting and they were one
A spirit stronger than war was woken that night
December 1914 cold clear and bright
Countries borders were right out of sight
They joined together and decided not to fight
All together now.... In no man's land
Lost in millions for a country's pride
Never mention the trenches of Belgium
When they stopped fighting and they were one
A spirit stronger than war was woken that night
December 1914 cold clear and bright
Countries borders were right out of sight
They joined together and decided not to fight
All together now.... In no man's land

Is it getting better?
Or do you feel the same?
Will it make it easier on you now?
You got someone to blame
You say
One love
One life
When it's one need
In the night
One love
We get to share it
Leaves you baby if you
Don't care for it
Did I disappoint you?
Or leave a bad taste in your mouth?
You act like you never had love
And you want me to go without
Well it's
Too late
Tonight
To drag the past out into the light
We're one, but we're not the same
We get to
Carry each other
Carry each other
One
Have you come here for forgiveness?
Have you come to raise the dead?
Have you come here to play Jesus?
To the lepers in your head
Did I ask too much?
More than a lot.
You gave me nothing,
Now it's all I got
We're one
But we're not the same
Well we
Hurt each other
Then we do it again
You say
Love is a temple
Love a higher law
Love is a temple
Love the higher law
You ask me to enter
But then you make me crawl
And I can't be holding on
To what you got
When all you got is hurt
One love
One blood
One life
You got to do what you should
One life
With each other
Sisters
Brothers
One life
But we're not the same
We get to
Carry each other
Carry each other
One
One
Or do you feel the same?
Will it make it easier on you now?
You got someone to blame
You say
One love
One life
When it's one need
In the night
One love
We get to share it
Leaves you baby if you
Don't care for it
Did I disappoint you?
Or leave a bad taste in your mouth?
You act like you never had love
And you want me to go without
Well it's
Too late
Tonight
To drag the past out into the light
We're one, but we're not the same
We get to
Carry each other
Carry each other
One
Have you come here for forgiveness?
Have you come to raise the dead?
Have you come here to play Jesus?
To the lepers in your head
Did I ask too much?
More than a lot.
You gave me nothing,
Now it's all I got
We're one
But we're not the same
Well we
Hurt each other
Then we do it again
You say
Love is a temple
Love a higher law
Love is a temple
Love the higher law
You ask me to enter
But then you make me crawl
And I can't be holding on
To what you got
When all you got is hurt
One love
One blood
One life
You got to do what you should
One life
With each other
Sisters
Brothers
One life
But we're not the same
We get to
Carry each other
Carry each other
One
One
