Come to my side, child
Don't leave me alone
Stay with me darling
I can't face this on my own
I need you to be with me
I need you in life
I want you forever
Be yours and you be mine
We're going places
Never thought we could
Through all kinds of changes
And still our hearts beat closer more and more (more and more)
More than just a heart beat
From the city floor
More than just the bright lights
That led me to your distant shore
Keepping my head up
And out of the sand
Way across the rooftops
I'm gonna plan our escape
We're going places
Never dreamt we could
Through all kinds of changes
And still our hearts beat closer more and more (more and more)
We're going places
Never dreamt we could
Through all kinds of changes
And still our hearts beat closer more and more (more and more)

Everybody doing it
Doing it real good
Everybody knowing it
Like they know they should
Shiny sabres rattling
Long into the night
And everybody saying it
Saying what they like
There are words there to inspire you
There are words there to be heard
Maybe none of them will fire you
But none the less they will make you listen by force.
Everybody shouting it
From every place on high
Everybody loving it
Loving what they find
There's blood upon each handshake
Lies upon each word
And everybody killing it
Killing off what's good
There are holes in the divisions
Between the haves and who have nots
There's a bomb for every city
Now they don't know where to stop
And they say there's no provisions
There's not enough to go round
But when it comes to the gun there's a bullet for everyone
When it comes to the gun there's a bullet for everyone
Everybody wanting it
Wanting it to stop
The chaos and destruction
The bloodshed on the rocks
The pain and deprivation
The losses and the grief
The tired, worn out promises
Of the politicians' brief
There are holes in the divisions
Between the haves and who have nots
There's a bomb for every city
Now they don't know how to stop
And they say there's no provisions
There's not enough to go round
But when it comes to the gun there's a bullet for everyone
When it comes to the gun there's a bullet for everyone
When it comes to the gun there's a bullet for everyone

and these leafy mysteries
and the silence of the eve
and in the shady tree’s I swing
& in the dappled orchards heat
where I lie & wait
wait for the breeze
to carry me
to a place I can lose myself
no time just somewhere else
with a face I can recognise
-I forget sometimes
that’s always been here
And all these leafy mysteries
& the changing of the seas
& all the secrets of the tide
just open up the world I find-
so small to me
when there’s so much to see –
so much to be –
day up & the grasses hiss
get up! Like sweet lips they kiss
see now that you’re part of it
I forget sometimes
That’s always been here
And these leafy mysteries
Have always been & always will
& in the shady trees I swing
& in the dappled orchard’s heat
-where I lie & wait
wait for the breeze
to hunger me-
wait for the trees
to breathe in to me
. . .

t’s written in the wind
that we’re two
carved out in the sand
that we’re real
it’s lit up in the stars
that we’re true
we’re destined in the sky
to be glad
we’re hopelessly informed
that we’re meant
we’re conscious of the fact
that we’re supposed
to be so sure
and we are
we’re driven by the
rain to act
we’re suspect to the laws
passed for real
when we’re the realest
thing we’ve seen
taken by the hand from above
I really do feel
we work for love
and it’s written in the stars
meant for us
soaked into the sand
made by time
taken by the hand from above
I really do feel
that we work for love
it’s written in the wind
that we’re two
carved out in the sand
that we’re real
it’s lit up in the stars
that we’re true
we’re destined in the sky
to be glad

you who brings joy
into the world
makes me swirl
of such love
and all you ask
in return
is to be loved
and love you i must
compelled by god
or some invisible force
i just want so much
to be here for you
you my darling who
brings so much joy
every laugh has an echo
every movement a feat
i humble in your complexion
so perfect so complete
you who brings joy
into the world
in your eyes lie a heaven
in your voice sweet caress
it is you who takes over
whose gentle arms i rest
you who brings joy
into the world
makes me swirl of such love
. . .

Let's you and I
blow gently on
the embers of today
now the night is here
to tell us - to be in love
Let us not talk
harshly now
our time is to reconcile
now the night is here
to tell us - to be in love
Now the night softly says
that the world is here to stay
falling out misty dreams
we arrive so swift it seems to be
no velvet dress can compare
to your beauty face so fair
and your grace shall carry you through
to a better place
and i shall follow you
let's cast the wind
that brought us here
'til we know not when
now the night is here
to tell us - to be in love
to be in love
. . .

share your dreams
give us all the beam we need
like electric light
in a ballroom scene
going one x one
shed your chains
to earth like dew and all remain
forever in another vein
as you slip into another dream
don't fear not
not where you tread
fear only- the lies you're fed
head that sign
for all of us who wait in line
waiting for the words to rhyme
bringing on a brand new day
don't fear not
not where you tread
fear only- the lies you're fed
so dance little dancer
like you've never danced before
it's just a moment
we're going through
this is the new dance that we do
so sing little brother
and turn on everyone
lift are spirits high
to a place we need to find
share your dreams
give us all the beam we need
like electric light
in a ballroom scene
going one x one
shed your chains
to earth like dew and all remain
forever in another vein
going on one x one

You may find me in the street somewhere
I may be floatin' round the bins
I'm looking for something
Something's looking for me
I don't know what it is
True connection to the open sky
That always calls to me
Like I'm waiting for something
That I've seen somewhere
I don't know where that was
Daylight time for bag man
To carry home his heavy load of nothing
Daylight time for bag man
To carry home his heavy load of nothing
Try to catch me in the morning air
Try to see me as I swim
I'd sooner be looking
Than to know everything
In every part of me
Daylight time for bag man
To carry home his heavy load of nothing
To carry home his heavy load of nothing.

If Jesus could hear us now
bending all his words
of which he's proud
but the carpenter was only
making invitations
voicing the opinions of others
sending down a word
that travels well
only as a vessel
as a bell
and the violence you've mistaken
in the words you took to be taken
and the images of hatred
against all that we're worth
all that you love
all that you give
all we hold dear
If Mohammed could see us now
shaking down the walls
but not as prayer
and the power games that play out
and the lies that come within out
against all we are worth
all we hold dear
all that is true
all that we love
all we dream of
all that you give
. . .

I dream't I was falling
I never woke up
I dream't of a warning
a yellow buttercup
I dream't of an old flame
smoking cigarettes she was
dancing in a night club
with some other men
I was holding up a drugstore
My gun was soaking wet
from the barrel I was trapped in
that went tumbling over the edge
you can call me.... Number 5
please please my my
call me Number 5
call me Number 5
that's why I'm still alive!
The barrel cracked up open
I was swimming for my breath
I knew I wouldn't make it
She watched me catch my death
So I switched on the TV
saw me reading out the news
another story of a plane crash
another story of bad news
The TV cracked up open
my baby boy came out
I was looking at my new wife
I ain't writing home about
you can call me.... Number 5
please please my my
that's why I'm still alive!
I boxed around a sliver ring
with blood stains on my face
I cut the dog with yellow teeth
and drove his car away
you can call me.... Number 5
please please my my
call me Number 5
call me Number 5
that's why I'm still alive!

Standing out in the universe
on every life in store
hope is where you lift your head
written in the dawn
Sending out like an SOS
and most of us agree
now's the time to change your mind
now's the time to change your mind for free
Standing out in the universe
for every new star born
God speed the light you make
and shine on us all
Sending out to the universe
that hope is on it's way
now's the time to open eyes
and realise that we've all parts to play
Now the world's at a place
people torn and disgraced
there's no time - there's no time - like today
- to feel the wings of change
now the worlds at a stage
born of war raised in rage
so little time - little time
like today
to feel the wings of change -
standing out in the universe
for every new star born
God speed the light you make
and shine on us all
sending out like an SOS
let everyone agree
now's the time to change your mind
now's the time to change your mind for free
Standing out in the universe
Standing out in the universe
Standing out in the universe

I close my eyes - but sleep won't come
You're in my waking dreams
It's a feeling right inside of me
'til you're in my arms again
the prayer I ask - is where I'm going to
without your undying love
I'm as worthless as a cold, cold sun
that shines for no-one - at all
how many time - must I return
from distant oceans - just to learn
that with your song
illumination comes
I close my eyes
and I hear no-one
I'm in a moving film
it's balck and white
and beautiful
and it has no end to write...
