In the crowd, carrying a knife
Why should I worry, when there’s nothing only fading lights
This plan of mine,
I thought it up quick in a place where the sun don’t shine.
I’m sure when I was born they must have broke the mould
Cause what’s the use of living, when you’re always out in the cold
This plan of mine
Every bead of sweat, is a hill that I’ve had to climb
Oh for the life of a sweet child
Just to know love in you life
Mother quick, mother quick, mother quick
My soul’s alight
See the crowd, see the crowd, see the crowd,
On this hot bed night!
This plan of mine
Sweet is the seed, so sweet as the darkest soul.
Oh for the life of a sweet child
Just to know love in your life
Mine is the dream
In this cold light
Seeing it all disappear.
A look in the mirror
And it don’t seem too late
But I can’t remember
Why I have to wait.
It keeps me spinning
In a spiral, I fall
There’s nothing to cling to
No-one to hear me call
This time well it’s now or never
I know cause I’ve done it before
A last chance must be grasped with both hands
Not thrown,...thrown on the floor
(all in one go, then the riff)
I laugh on the outside
Still there’s a terrible fear
A burning ambition
It’s all I can hear
I’m cut by the splinters, been
burned by the rope
Of proposition
in an entry of hope
This time well it’s now or never
I know cause I’ve done it before
A last chance must be grasped with both hands
Not thrown,...thrown on the floor
There’s been a lot between us
Such a lot between us
And somehow the road ahead got closed
I left the home of a lifetime
And even now I’d have to walk the same line
Knowing the road ahead will close.
I wish I’d stayed when you asked me
But I was so young and carefree
Not knowing that the road ahead could close.
If only I could face my fear
Then you could wipe away the tear
That’s stayed so long on mother’s cheek
Lets raise the flag and sing the song
To keep the home fires burning on
What we have we’ll never give away.
So I tried to move a mountain
So many now, that I ’ve stopped counting
And always the road ahead is closed.
They tried to cover their traces
They lied to hide their faces
But someday their road ahead will close.
If only I could face my fear
Then you could wipe away the tear
That’s stayed so long on mother’s cheek
Lets raise the flag and sing the song
To keep the home fires burning on
What we have we’ll never give away...
Lets raise the flag and sing the song
To keep the home fires burning on
What we have we’ll never give away.........Repeat coup 1 & 2.
It’s the sound in the night that awakes your fear
They must be close I’m sure they’re near
On the warmth of the breeze you can smell their fire
As they sing your death they watch the flames get higher
Down back streets you’ve never been
People and places you’ve never seen
Still they lie only yards away
They’re so close you can hear them say...
No surrender, we will not be moved
We were born red, white and blue
No pope here watch the fenians run
Down the barrel of a loaded gun...
Feel the fear...well here they come
Here comes the summer..
Shots ring out cross a twilight sky
Before night falls, hear the mothers cry
In their arms just flesh and blood
We stood accused now we’ve been judged
Of a crime, of a crime for which we must pay
Every year, every single day.
Stand aside, stand aside, don’t be afraid,
Here come the boys from the old brigade.
Feel the fear...well here they come
Here comes the summer, yeah, here comes the summer...
Is it worth the hell, this lie you sell
Handed down through each generation
Don’t think about the implications!
Animals... (choir)
The moonlight in my eyes
Works wonders, you got me in your spell
Now we‘ve made a pact, it’s a fact, I don’t know if
It’s heaven or it’s hell.
These words I have written in my mind
I knew it all along, can’t stop it’s so strong.
You have walked with kings
Made them fall down at your feet
The purest of a heart, you can stop,
You can steal, for they must admit defeat.
A simple seed on which our love’s been sown
I’m timber for the flames
As I learn to play your games.
You and I we are beautiful
Together we’re gonna rule the world
You and I we are beautiful
Together...we’re gonna rule the world.
You cover up the light, just like you never take the blame
We`re whispering, whispering, whispering, whispering your name.
A simple seed on which your love’s been sown
It’s rotten to the core, and still we all want more.
Go the long way
Don’t go home the wrong way
Cause the wrong way will bring you down
When you go home go the long way
Cause the long way, cause it’s safe so safe and sound.
That’s what I’ve found.
Don’t drive home, the wrong way
Cause the wrong way will bring you down
When you drive home, drive the long way
Cause the long way is safe and sound
That’s what I’ve found.
Don’t run home, the wrong way
Cause the wrong way will bring you down
When you run home, run the long way
Cause the long way is safe and sound
That’s what I’ve found.
What do you want
Look me straight in the eye
The truth or a lie?
Everything I ever gave I stole for you
Cause I done the crime and everytime
Never spat on your name.
Is this the way it’s supposed to be?
Look in my eyes, hear the words from my mouth
Calling, calling
Dry those tears from your barren years,
Were shaking, shaking off our fears.
And we’ll dance in the streetlight tonite
And we’ll sing and make everything alright.
Been out of time
Walked every line
Always turning my heels
I’ve seen sorrow and I really know how it feels
Look in my eyes, hear the words from my mouth
Calling, calling
Dry those tears from your barren years,
Were shaking, shaking off our fears.
And we’ll dance in the streetlight tonight
And we’ll sing and make everything alright.
Tonight, tonight
Lets meet the new day burning bright
See the colours in the changing light
Oh tonight...
See the morning, she’s dawning, it’s a heaven to hold
And you make it, you make it shine.
And we’ll dance in the streetlight tonight...
Tonight, tonight...
Tonight’s gonna be alright
There’s a new day burning bright
We’ll watch the colours in the changing light
Come ride along, up front in my car
See the world just passing quickly
Gaze into a scene that’s moving
Fleeting by, then gone forever
You never wanted to stay at home
And I didn’t blame you when you had to go..
Trace the lines that now lie broken
Face the past, don’t be denied
See if time can be your healer
Separate to join once more.
You never wanted to stay at home
And I didn’t blame you when you had to go..
Cause through the hard times..
The only one I had..the only one I had..
You see broken homes
I see friends I know
You don’t believe
And I have faith
You hear bigotry
I hear song that free
They lift you up and let you go.
Come ride...come ride...
Come ride along up front in my car
See the world just passing quickly.
Bring me that song you sing
Bring it to me loud, loud and clear
Sing me that song you sing
Sing it to me make me hear
I’ve been swimming in an ocean wide
In the years of tears that I cried
The faster that I learned to swim
The more it seemed to pull me in.
Ask me to dance again,
The way you asked me way back then
And I’ll dance with you again
And this time it’ll never end
Put on that dress you wore
The night you left me wanting more
And I’ll look up some 45’s
The ones that made us feel, feel alive.
Don’t you remember you were at my side
We heard a shot and that young boy died
They said they’d found him with a gun
So that proves he must ‘ve been the one.
When my time comes, my final hour
I’m sure I’ll be sitting in the same old bar
In my life I’ve kept an open mind and
what’s done is done, lets leave the past behind.
So bring me that song you sing
Bring it to me loud, loud and clear
Sing me that song you sing...
Cause when the feelings strong
Then you can’t go wrong
No matter what we try
It’s always do or die...
Knelt down, to see through your heart of stone
Went back, back to the lonely road
They’re gathering a crowd,with fire in their eyes
To raise a new religion, while the old one dies
They’re smoking out the ghosts
someone has to try
Can they be forgiven,
for they know not why.
and it’s easy, when everything is bygone
so easy now everything is bygone
all our dreams were tied on
all that we relied on.
Came back, back to where it all began
Faced facts now that I’ve become a man
Seems like nothing much has changed
though everything has died,
Childhood reminiscence of you by my side
Picking up the stones, cause someone had to try
Will we be forgiven, for we knew not why?
and it’s easy, now everything is bygone
so easy, now everything is bygone
all our dreams were tied on
all that we relied on.
Can’t stop the world from spinning, can’t make it feel right
Still see the old town burning, in every twilight
And you,... gave it all you could,
I, I always knew you would...
I want a pocket of luck in my life
Fed up with waiting, I need it tonight. (Double Time..solo) Repeat till fade..
