Woman in Chains
|
|
You better love loving and you better behave You better love loving and you better behave Woman in chains Woman in chains Calls her man the Great White Hope Says she's fine, she'll always cope Woman in chains Woman in chains Well I feel lying and waiting is a poor man's deal And I feel hopelessly weighed down by your eyes of steel It's a world gone crazy Keeps woman in chains Trades her soul as skin and bone Sells the only thing she owns Woman in chains Woman in chains Men of stone Men of stone Well I feel deep in your heart there are wounds time can't heal And I feel somebody somewhere is trying to breathe Well you know what I mean It's a world gone crazy Keeps woman in chains It's under my skin but out of my hands I'll tear it a part but I won't understand I will not accept the greatness of Man It's a world gone crazy Keeps woman in chains So free her So free her |

Badman's Song
|
|
Heard every word that was said that night When the light of the world put the world to right Well here's to the boys back in 628 Where an ear to the wall was a twist of fate I will shine a blinding light Through those hearts as black as night Sticks and stones may break my bones But at least the seeds of love will be sown Now once in a while when I feel no shame I get down on my knees and I pray for rain And though the breeze blows gently while I state my case There'll be certain men waiting just to scratch my face Hand on my heart I will make a stand For the life and the times of the mirrorman In my head there is a mirror When I've been bad, I've been wrong Food for the saints that are quick to judge me Hope for a badman This is the Badman's Song Guilt in the frame of the looking-glass Puts a shine on the mind where reflections pass Where the jigsaw pieces of a broken man Try and fit themselves together again Lies in disguise in the name of trust Put your head in the sand it will turn to dust! What's your problem? What's your curse? Won't it make the matter worse? In my head... And they say "Faith can move mountains" "Fire can cleanse your soul" Faith can move mountains But mind over matter won't stop all your chatter No I heard every word that was said that night When the light of the world put the world to right When I hear the soft whispers at the break of day I'm in trouble every step of the way Sweet talking boys who can do no wrong When the stories are tall as the day is long With such a thin line drawn between friend and foe Lord help me now and bless my soul Look at yourself - see how you lie Your hands start shaking and you don't know why Look at yourself - see how you lie Your hands start shaking and you don't know why Well there's food for the saints that are quick to judge me Hope for a badman |

Sowing the Seeds of Love
|
|
High time we made a stand and shook up the views of the common man And the love train rides from coast to coast D.J.'s the man we love the most Could you be - could you be squeaky clean And smash any hope of democracy As the headline says you're free to choose There's egg on your face and mud on your shoes One of these days they're gonna call it the blues And anything is possible when you're Sowing the Seeds of Love Anything is possible - Sowing the Seeds of Love I spy tears in their eyes They look to the skies for some kind of divine intervention Food goes to waste So nice to eat - so nice to taste Politician grannie with your high ideals Have you know idea how the Majority feels So without love and a promised land We're fools to the rules of a government plan Kick out the Style - bring back the Jam Anything... Sowing the Seeds The birds and the bees My girlfriend and me in Love Feel the pain Talk about it If you're a worried man Then shout about it Open hearts -feel about it Open minds -think about it Everyone -read about it Everyone -scream about it Everyone Everyone - read about it Read about it Read it in the books - in the crannies and the nooks there are books to read Mr. England Sowing the Seeds of Love Time to eat all your words Swallow your pride Open your eyes High time we made a stand and shook up the views of the common man And the love train rides from coast to coast Every minute of every hour I Love a Sunflower And I believe in lovepower, lovepower, lovepower Sowing the seeds An end to need And the politics of greed With love |

Advice for the Young at Heart

Advice for the Young at Heart Soon we will be older When we gonna make it work... To many people living in a secret world While they play mothers and fathers We play little boys and girls When we gonna make it work... I could be happy I could be quite naive It's only me and my shadow Happy in our make believe Soon... And with the hounds at bay I'll call your bluff Cos it would be okay To walk on tiptoes everyday And when I think of you and all the love that's due I'll make a promise - I'll make a stand Cos to these big brown eyes, this comes as no surprise We've got the whole wide world in our hands Advice for the Young at Heart Soon we will be older When we gonna make it work... Love is a promise Love is a souvenir Once given Never forgotten, never let it disappear This could be our last chance When we gonna make it work... Working hour is over And how it makes me weep Cos someone sent my soul to sleep And when I... Advice for the Young at Heart Soon we will be older When we gonna make it work... Working hour is over We can do anything that we want Anything that we feel like doing Advice... |

Standing on the Corner of the Third World
|
|
Man - I never slept so hard I never drempt so well Dreaming I was safe in life Like mussels in a shell Rolling and controlling all the basements and the backroads of our lives Fill their dreams with big fast car Fill their heads with sand Holy white we'll paint this town The colour of our flag Hey there little lady - has your baby got the look of some old man? Standing on the corner of the third world Hungry men will close their minds Ideas are not their food Notions fall on stony ground Where passions are subdued Colour all the madness for the madness is the thorn that's in our side Standing on the corner of the third world When we gonna learn Who we gonna turn to The promises they make The call for our attention Compassion is the fashion Free to earn, our pockets burn We buy for love We die for love Hold me - I'm crying Hold me - I'm dying |

Swords and Knives
|
|
A waking world of innocence So grave those first born cries When life begins with needles and pins It ends with Sword and Knives Oh dangerman, Oh dangerman Your blade fits like a glove When forged in steel Time cannot heal That blood red bond of love In times of trouble you're an open book With the change in the way you look And its sad love's not enough to make things better Turn the tables, we'll burn the fables Lies beneath the visions and daydreams Fooled by now, we mystify the past Like a dream, like it never happened When life begins with needles and pins It ends with Swords and Knives God save those born to die |

Year of the Knife
|
|
Halleujah, the king is dead. He said "Love Was The Knife" And now he'll dream some magic queen might try and save his life They say his famous final words Came from the heart of the man He made his bed on love denied He played Jeckyll and Hyde till the day he died Too late for the young gun To lead a simple life Too late for the young gun This is the year of the Knife See the mountains crumble Feel the fire go cold Summer will turn to winter Love will turn to stone They say his famous final words Came from the heart of the man I made my bed on love denied Now I ain't gonna sleep tonight Too late for the young gun To lead a simple life Too late for the young gun This is the Year of the Knife |

Famous Last Words

After the wash Before the fire I will decay Melt in your arms As the day hits the night We will sit by candlelight We will laugh We will sing When the saints go marching in A for a heart B for a brain Insects and grass Are all that remain When the light from above Burns a hole straight through our love We will laugh We will sing When the saints go marching in And we will carry war no more All our love and all our pain Will be a tune The Sun and the Moon The wind and the rain Hand in hand we'll do and die Listening to the band that made us cry We'll have nothing to lose We'll have nothing to gain Just to stay in this real life situation For one last refrain As the day hits the night We will sit by candlelight We will laugh We will sing When the saints go marching in And we will carry war no more |
