Running Up That Hill (A Deal with God)
|
|
It doesn't hurt me Do you know how it feels Do you want to know, know that it doesn't hurt me Do you want to hear 'bout the deal that I'm making You, you and me And if I only could I'd make a deal with God And I'd get him to swap our places Be running up that road Be running up that hill Be running up that building If I only could oh... You don't want to hurt me But see how deep the bullet lies Unaware I'm tearing you asunder Ooh there is thunder in our hearts Is there so much hate for the ones we love Tell me we both matter don't we You You and me You and me won't be unhappy And if I only could I'd make a deal with God And I'd get him to swap our places Be running up that road Be running up that hill Be running up that building If I only could oh... You You and me You and me won't be unhappy C'mon baby c'mon darlin' Let me steal this moment from you now Come on angel, c'mon, c'mon darling Let's exchange the experience oh, And if I only could I'd make a deal with God And I'd get him to swap our places Be running up that road Be running up that hill With no problems. And if I only could I'd make a deal with God And I'd get him to swap our places Be running up that road Be running up that hill With no problems. And if I only could I'd make a deal with God And I'd get him to swap our places Be running up that road Be running up that hill With no problems. If I only could Be running up that hill With no problems. |

Hounds of Love
|
|
When I was a child Running in the night Afraid of what might be Hiding in the dark Hiding in the streets And of what was following me Now hounds of love are hunting I've always been a coward And I don't know what's good for me Here I go It's coming for me thro' the trees Help me someone, help me please Take my shoes off and throw them in the lake And I'll be two steps on the water I found a fox caught by dogs He let me take him in my hands His little heart beats so fast And I'm ashamed of running away From nothing real, I just can't deal with this But I'm still afraid to be there Among your hounds of love And feel your arms surround me I've always been a coward And never know what's good for me Here I go Don't let me go Hold me down It's coming for me through the trees Help me darling, help me please Take my shoes of and throw them in the lake And I'll be two steps on the water I don't know what's good for me I don't know what's good for me I need love, love, love, love, yeah Your love Take your shoes off and throw them in the lake Do you know what I really need Do you know what I really need I need love, love, love, love, yeah |

The Big Sky
|
|
They look down at the ground, missing. But I never go in now - I'm looking at the Big Sky, I'm looking at the Big Sky now, I'm looking at the Big Sky You never understood me, You never really tried. That cloud, that cloud - looks like Ireland, C'mon and blow it a kiss now. But quick 'coz it's changing in the Big Sky It's changing in the Big Sky now We're looking at the Big Sky. You never understood me You never really tried. This cloud, this cloud says "Noah, c'mon and build me an Ark" And if you're coming - jump 'coz we're leaving with the Big Sky We're leaving with the Big Sky And we pause for the jets hup, hup in the Big Sky You want my reply? What was the question? I was looking at the Big Sky. |

Mother Stands for Comfort
|
|
She knows that I've been doing something wrong, but she won't say anything. She thinks that I was with my friends yesterday, but she won't mind me lying, Mmm because: Mother stands for comfort, Mother will hide the murderer. It breaks the cage, dear escapes and takes possession. Just like a crowd rioting inside - make me do this, make me do that, make me do this, make me do that. Am I the cat that takes the bird? To her the hunted, not the hunter. Mother stands for comfort, Mother will hide the murderer. Mother hides the madman, Mother will stay Mum. |

Cloudbusting
|
|
I still dream of Organon. I wake up crying. You're making rain And you're just in reach When you and sleep escape me You're like my yo-yo That glowed in the dark What made it special Made it dangerous So I bury it and forget. Everytime it rains, You're here in my head Like the sun coming out - Ooh I just know that something good is going to happen And I don't know when But just saying it could even make it happen. On top of the world Looking over the edge You could see them coming You looked too small In their big black car To be a threat to the men in power. I hid my yo-yo in the garden I can't hide you from the government Oh God, daddy - I won't forget Your son's coming out |

And Dream of Sheep
|
|
Little light shining Little light will guide them to me My face is all lit up My face is all lit up If they find me racing white horses - They'll not take me for a buoy. Let me be weak, let me sleep and dream of sheep. Oh I'll wake up to any sound of engines Every gull a seeking craft I can't keep my eyes open - Wish I had my radio I'd tune into some friendly voices. Talking 'bout stupid things I can't be left to my imagination Let me be weak, let me sleep and dream of sheep - Ooh, their breath is warm, And they smell like sleep And they say they take me home - Like poppies, heavy with seed - They take me deeper and deeper. |

Under Ice
|
|
It's wonderful, Everywhere, so white. The river has frozen over Not a soul on the ice, Only me, skating fast. I'm speeding past trees leaving Little lines in the ice, Cutting out little lines, In the ice, splitting, splitting sound, Silver heels spitting, spitting snow There's something moving under Under the ice, Moving under ice - through water Trying to get out of the cold water "It's me" Something, someone - help them "It's me" |

Waking the Witch

"You won't burn You won't bleed Confess to me girl - Go down" "Poor little thing The Blackbird, Wings in the water - go down". "What is it, child?" Bless me father, bless me father for I have sinned.... "I question your innocence" (Help this blackbird, there's a stone around my leg) "She's a witch" (Help this blackbird, there's a stone around my leg) "Uh, Damn you woman!" (Help this blackbird, there's a stone around my leg) "What say you good people?" (Guilty, Guilty, Guilty). "I am responsible for your actions" "Wake the witch". |

Watching You Without Me
|
|
You can't hear me You can't hear me You can't hear what I'm saying You can't hear what I'm saying to you You watch the clock Move the slow hand I should have been home hours ago But I'm not here But I'm not here You can't hear me You can't hear me You can't feel me Here in the room with you now You can't hear what I'm saying You don't hear what I'm saying do you Can't let you know What's been happening There's a ghost in our home Just watching you without me I'm not here But I'm not here But I'm not here You can't hear me You can't hear what I'm saying You didn't hear me come in You won't hear me leaving |

Jig of Life

Hello old Lady I know your face well I know you well She says ooh-na-na-na-na I'll be sitting in your mirror Now is the place where the crossroads meet Will you look into the future Never, never say goodbye To my part of your life No, no, no, no, no Oh, oh, oh Let me live She said c'mon let me live, girl She said c'mon let me live, girl This moment in time (she said) It doesn't belong to you (she said) It belongs to me And to your little boy and to your little girl And the one hand clapping Where on your palm is my little line When you're written in mine As an old memory Ohh-na-na-na-na Never never never say goodbye To my part of your life No, no, no, no, no Never, never, never, never Let me go She said c'mon let me live, girl She said c'mon let me live, girl I put this moment here. I put this moment here. I put this moment "Over here! Over here! Can't you see where memories are kept bright? Tripping on the water like a laughing girl. Time in her eyes is spawning past life, One with the ocean and the woman unfurled, Holding all the love that waits for you here. Catch us now for I am your future. A kiss on the wind and we'll make the land. Come over here to where When lingers, Waiting in this empty world, Waiting for Then, when the lifespray cools. For Now does ride in on the curl of the wave, And you will dance with me in the sunlit pools. We are of the going water and the gone. We are of water in the holy land of water And all that's to come runs in With the thrust on the strand." |

Hello Earth
|
|
"Hello Earth" "Columbia now nine times the speed of sound." "Roger that, Dan, I've got a solid TACAN locked on, uh, TACAN twenty-three." "The, uh, tracking data, map data and pre-planned trajectory are all one line on the block" "Roger your block decoded recorded" Hello, Earth. Hello, Earth. With just one hand held up high I can blot you out, Out of sight. Peek-a-boo, Peek-a-boo, little Earth. With just my heart and my mind I can be driving, Driving home, And you asleep On the seat. I get out of my car, Step into the night And look up at the sky. And there's something bright, Traveling fast. Look at it go! Look at it go! ("Listen!") Hello, Earth. Hello, Earth. Watching storms Start to form Over America. Can't do anything. Just watch them swing With the wind Out to sea. All you sailors, ("Get out of the waves! Get out of the water!") All life-savers, ("Get out of the waves! Get out of the water!") All you cruisers, ("Get out of the waves! Get out of the water!") All you fishermen, Head for home. Go to sleep, little Earth. I was there at the birth, Out of the cloudburst, The head of the tempest. Murderer! Murder of calm. Why did I go? Why did I go? "Tiefer, tiefer. Irgendwo in der Tiefe Gibt es ein Licht." Go to sleep little Earth. |

The Morning Fog

The light Begin to bleed, Begin to breathe Begin to speak D'you know what? I love you better now I am falling Like a stone Like a storm Being born again Into the sweet morning fog D'you know what? I love you better now I am falling And I'd love to hold you now I'll kiss the ground I'll tell my mother I'll tell my father I'll tell my loved one I'll tell my brothers How much I love them |
