1.Your Town
I wouldn't want to be you
Mostly not even near you
When you're gone they will curse you
And raise the tide against you
I no longer care now
For what you said was fair now
I just don't go there now
I just don't go
Maybe there's a way not to make it hurt
To cover up the words like you covered up the dirt
Ever since you left
It just gets worse
Living out in your town
Now let's say it like it is
I just don't know where to begin
It's a different way of living
It's so strange to what we've been
First we speak for ourselves now
And people know who we are now
And they wake up and they live now
Yes they wake up and they live
Maybe there's a way not to let it hurt
Tell it out in pictures
And songs and words
Do what we should not
To make it worse
Living out in your town
2.Only Tender Love
Way out there in the wilderness
Of love and pain
Under the gentle arches we rode
The silver streets
Couldn't see a difference between gold or
Wooden cross
Could never see where we're falling
Came in to love
Then hounded by love
Hounded by the very thing you dreamed up
Chased inside the walls you tried to breach
Sent crashing to your knees
Only tender love
Understood the need you need with
Understood the time it took
To take you where nothing ever was
Never was there once nothing
And everything once was
Not dead but still and ready to be born anew
Looking back now it all
Seems so clear
Like staring so long unseeing for someone to light inside a
Darkened room
Then try your tender love
Push you back till there's nowhere left
Nowhere to feel nothing anymore
Nothing that will comfort you more
More than tender love
Understands the need you need with
Understand the time it takes to get home and have a love again
More than tender love
Understands the need you need with
Understand the time it takes
To get home and have a love
Then try your tender love
Push it till there's nothing left
Nowhere to feel nothing anymore
Nothing that will comfort you more
Then hounded by love
Hounded by the very thing you dreamed up
Chased inside the walls you tried to breach
Sent crashing to your knees
Then only tender love
Understood the need you need with
Understood the time it took
To take you where nothing ever was
3.Peace,jobs And Freedom
There comes a time in everybody's dream
When the stage is lighted and the
Words appear
And in the blackness
That it seems
A tiny little realisation
Begins
And in my number
57 dream
I'm standing at the window
Of the world
And suddenly the
World begins to scream
We want the promise and the promise
Can be made
Who said the words
Who said the words
Peace and jobs
And freedom
People say there's nothing
When you die
Tell you stories that will
Make you sigh
And beat up all your senses
Until you
Cry cry cry
All i'm saying is the words
Writ up in the great big holy sky
Who said the words
Who said the words
Peace and jobs
And freedom
Who said the words
Who said the words
Peace and jobs
And freedom
4.Hang Your Head
There's no sleep inside
Their dreams are broke and inspired
All the times you try to
Scream
Houses dark indoors
And blinds are pulled and closed
Everything that needed
Change
And there's nothing wise
Or twice as good as nice
You save it all inside while you
Hang your head
Hang your head
Underneath it all
Your smile your smile your smile is flawed
And the songs you sing are only
Spoken
The promise of this child
You crossed your palms with silver crowns and the
People swore he's only
Choken
There's no promises
No light is ever shed
Between the living and dead
Hang your head
Hang your head
There's no promises
No light is ever shed
Between the living and dead
5.Bethlehems Gate
There was a night
As purple as this
With a love so close
We longed to be missed
Summer '89
And everything stood
Sure and free and there
To be finished
I long to be there
As bright as the sky
At bethlehem's gate
September again
You come so quick
So sudden your strength
So strong your kiss
The world groans and strains
For the hope of a time
Like a prayer that
Is wished and willed
To exist
Like knocking so hard
And trying to get through
To bethlehem's gate
I'm chiding the heart
That the body will live
To question the power
And the gift of birth
To stand and grow and die
On the wasteland
That scorns the high temples
We build
And stand in the way
And darken the sky
At bethlehem's gate
Stand in the way
And darken the sky
At bethlehem's gate
6.Last Night I Dreamed Of Henry Thomas
Lily love that's a
Beautiful name
Your precious gifts are not the same
Since they faded away
The song so distant
But it still rings true your
Beautiful hands were rudely used
To make things pay
Every minute of every day
You don't get angry 'bout what's taken away
Is only real life
Every second of eternal light
Piercing through this sorrowful night
Will bring the sad heart
The cold heart
To love again
Last night i dreamed of
Henry thomas in the
Delta light his rusty pipes
They drifted away
Standing in some
Dusty patch
It felt so close that i could almost catch
His breath on me
Every minute of every day
You don't get angry 'bout what's been taken away
Is only real life
Every second of eternal light
Piercing through this sorrowful night
Will make the sad heart
The cold heart
To love again
Every minute of every day
You don't get angry 'bout what's been taken away
Is only real life
Every second of eternal light
Piercing through this sorrowful night
Will make the sad heart
The cold heart
To love again
Last night i dreamed of
Henry thomas and the blues
7.Will We Be Lovers
All my worries
All my care
Is held in check
For you not there
Evening comes
And darkness falls
We sit round
And curtain out
The black night
There is a time
Away
From here
Seasons pass
So quickly come
And steal the days
Your work has done
They leave the fields
So bare and grey
I long to hold
You there and say
It won't change
There is a time
Away
From here
There is a time
Away
From here
Will we be lovers
Or will we still be
Will we be lovers
Or will we still be
Will we be lovers
Or will we still be
Still be still be
8.Fall So Freely Down
Little baby don't just slip away
Without fight or push or
Saying anything
This is all you really
Get to say
And the only thing you
Listen in to
There are people to see
There are places to go
There are things to believe in
To believe in
So you live in the magic water
And you tumble and kick and turn
While your beautiful hands and feet grow
So quiet is the life you beat with
Till you fall so freely down
You can't just slip or fall or leave without talking
There's no goodbye without walking
The roads we travel for good
The ways we exit for bad
There are places to go
There are jobs to be done
There are things to believe in
To believe in
So you live in the magic water
And you tumble and kick and turn
While your beautiful hands and feet grow
So quiet is the life you beat with
Till you fall so freely down
Till you fall so freely down
Kick kick down
So you live in the magic water
And you tumble and kick and turn
While your beautiful hands and feet grow
So quiet is the life you beat with
So quiet is the life you beat with
And you tumble and kick and turn
9.Cut Lip
15 books in
Different covers
Winter comes in
Many colours
Kids toys broken glasses elvis live in vegas
He's still turning
All the worthless things
We're paying in
Pounds of sugar
Here it comes
Blankets from the
Social fund
Snooker balls and spanish divers rocks full
Of cat hair
All the worthless things
For the warrants sake
Maybe you'll be so kind and take the shirt right from my back
That's got my kid i'd even smile for you
With my cut lip
With my cut lip
With my cut lip
With my cut lip
Talkin' away
My rent is due
Didn't get my
Last few
Playing on the sattellite dish
Finally nights to switch to
Blue filmsloon tunes
Purple moons
Every motherfucker
Will be on it soon
Maybe you'll be so kind and take the shirt right from my back
That's got my kid i'd even smile for you
With my cut lip
With my cut lip
With my cut lip
With my cut lip
10.All Over The World
All over the world
The wild wild wind
Rips through the mighty words
We kept ourselves warm with
And all over this love
Has never been stronger
All jericho's walls
They gently fall
I've been waiting for a golden
Bright milleniun
Waking early for the union bonds being broken
Then gone
All over the world
All over the world
All over theworld
All over the world
I've been searching for a new new
Song of freedom
Where no flag of conquest
Is furled
No war words are spoken
All over the world
All over the world
I,i hear the sound
I,i hear the sound
All over this land
People are waiting
To enter the world
Like a new born baby
All over the world
Where nothing's been learned
The flags are changing
So let freedom unfurl
New flags need waving
Let freedom unfurl
