 | So this is where you fell And I am left to sell The path to heaven runs through miles of clouded hell Right to the top Don't look back Turning to rags and giving the commodities a rain check I don't ever want to let you down I don't ever want to leave this town 'Cause after all This city never sleeps at night It's time to begin, isn't it? I get a little bit bigger, but then I'll admit I'm just the same as I was Now don't you understand That I'm never changing who I am It's time to begin, isn't it? I get a little bit bigger, but then I'll admit I'm just the same as I was Now don't you understand That I'm never changing who I am This road never looked so lonely This house doesn't burn down slowly To ashes, to ashes |
 | And when the world is on its knees with me it's fine And when I come to the rescue I get nothing but left behind Everybody seems to be getting what they need, where's mine? 'Cause you're what I need so very but I'm anything but ordinary Can you save me from this world of mine? Before I get myself arrested with this expectation You are the one, look what you've done what have you done? This is not some kind of joke, you're just a kid You weren't ready for what you did, no And when the world is on its knees with me it's fine And when I come to the rescue I do it for you time after time Everybody seems to be getting what they need where's mine? 'Cause you're what I need so very but I'm anything but ordinary I think I'm trying to save the world for you You've been saving me too We could just stay in and save each other I'm anything but ordinary I'm anything but ordinary |
 | One thing, I don’t know why It doesn’t even matter how hard you try Keep that in mind, I designed this rhyme To remind myself how I tried so hard In spite of the way you were mocking me Acting like I was part of your property Remembering all the times you fought with me I’m surprised it got so (far) Things aren’t the way they were before You wouldn’t even recognize me anymore Not that you knew me back then But it all comes back to me In the end You kept everything inside and even though I tried, it all fell apart What it meant to me will eventually be a memory of a time when I tried so hard And got so far But in the end It doesn’t even matter I had to fall To lose it all But in the end It doesn’t even matter I've put my trust in you Pushed as far as I can go For all this There’s only one thing you should know I've put my trust in you Pushed as far as I can go For all this There’s only one thing you should know I tried so hard And got so far But in the end It doesn’t even matter I had to fall To lose it all But in the end It doesn’t even matter |
 | What if this storm ends? And I don't see you As you are now Ever again The perfect halo Of gold hair and lightning Sets you off against The planet's last dance Just for a minute The silver forked sky Lit you up like a star That I will follow Now it's found us Like I have found you I don't want to run Just overwhelm me What if this storm ends? And leaves us nothing Except a memory A distant echo |
 | From here the caravans are kids toys And I can hold them all in my palm I watch the sea creep round the corner It connects the dots from here to you The sunlight burning through the loose flags Painted high on white church walls I chase my blood from brain to thumped heart Until I'm out of breath for trying Worry not everything is sound This is the safest place you've found The only noise beating out is ours Lacing our tea from honey jars These accidents of faith and nature They tend to stick in the spokes of you But every now and then the trend bucks And you're repaired by more than glue Worry not everything is sound This is the safest place you've found The only noise beating out is ours Lacing our tea from honey jars Why don't you rest your fragile bones A minute ago you looked alone Stop waving your arms you're safe and dry Breathe in and drink up the winter sky |
 | Slowly the day breaks apart in our hands And soft hallelujahs flow in from the church The one on the corner you said frightened you It was too dark and too large to find your soul in Something was bound to go right sometime today All these broken pieces fit together to make a perfect picture of us It got cold and then dark so suddenly and rained It rained so hard the two of us were the only thing That we could see for miles and miles And in the middle of the flood I felt my worth When you held onto me like I was your little life raft Please know that you were mine as well Drops of water hit the ground like God's own tears And spread out into shapes like Salad bowls and basins and buckets for bailing out the flood As motionless cars rust on driveways and curbs You take off your raincoat and stretch out your arms We both laugh out loud and surrender to it The sheer force of sky and the cold magnet Earth |
 | Oh, a storm is threat'ning My very life today If I don't get some shelter Oh yeah, I'm gonna fade away War, children, it's just a shot away It's just a shot away War, children, it's just a shot away It's just a shot away Ooh, see the fire is sweepin' Our very street today Burns like a red coal carpet Mad bull lost your way War, children, it's just a shot away It's just a shot away War, children, it's just a shot away It's just a shot away Rape, murder! It's just a shot away It's just a shot away Rape, murder! It's just a shot away It's just a shot away Rape, murder! It's just a shot away It's just a shot away The floods is threat'ning My very life today Gimme, gimme shelter Or I'm gonna fade away |
 | I walked across an empty land I knew the pathway like the back of my hand I felt the earth beneath my feet Sat by the river and it made me complete Oh simple thing where have you gone? I'm getting old and I need something to rely on So tell me when you're gonna let me in I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin I came across a fallen tree I felt the branches of it looking at me Is this the place we used to love? Is this the place that I've been dreaming of? Oh simple thing where have you gone? I'm getting old and I need something to rely on So tell me when you're gonna let me in I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin And if you have a minute why don't we go Talk about it somewhere only we know? This could be the end of everything So why don't we go Somewhere only we know? Somewhere only we know? |
 | Holiday quiet on these streets, except for some stubborn leaves That didn't fall with the fall, and now they clatter in vain Holiday sky, midnight clear Wind is high, hard to steer Old muffler rumbles like an old fighter plane In search of some rest, in search of a break From a life of tests where something's always at stake Where something's always so far What about my broken car? What about my life so far? What about my dream? What about..... What about everything? What about aeroplanes? And what about ships that drank the sea? What about... What about the moon and stars? What about soldier battle scars And all the anger that they eat? I am not in need Get away and come with me Come away with me and we'll see If I was right on that night, that a future was made Before time takes each year, like a knife cuts it clear It's school, then work and then life that just sharpens the blade I think about time for fun I think about time for play Then I think about being done, with no resume With no one left to blame What about fortune and fame? What about your love to obtain? What about the ring? What about.... What about everything? What about aeroplanes? And what about ships that drank the sea? What about... What about the moon and stars? What about soldier battle scars And all the anger that they eat? I am not in need |

 | On the sea, on the sea and land over land. Creeping and crawling like the sea over sand. Still I follow heartlines on your hand. And there’s fantasy, there’s fallacy, there’s tumbling stone. Echoes of a city that’s long overgrown. Your heart is the only place that I call home, I cannot be returned. You can… You can… I know you can… Just keep following! The heartlines on your hand! Just keep following! The heartlines on your hand! Keep it up! I know you can! Just keep following! The heartlines on your hand! What a thing to do… Oooh What a thing to choose… But know, in some way I’m there with you. Up against the wall on a Wednesday afternoon. Just keep following! The heartlines on your hand! Just keep following! The heartlines on your hand! Keep it up! I know you can! Just keep following! The heartlines on your hand! Cause I am… |

 | Regrets collect like old friends Here to relive your darkest moments I can see no way, I can see no way And all of the ghouls come out to play And every demon wants his pound of flesh But I like to keep some things to myself I like to keep my issues drawn It's always darkest before the dawn And I've been a fool and I've been blind I can never leave the past behind I can see no way, I can see no way I'm always dragging that horse around Our love is questioned, such a mournful sound Tonight I'm gonna bury that horse in the ground So I like to keep my issues drawn But it's always darkest before the dawn Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh whoa Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh whoa And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back So shake him off, oh whoa And I am done with my graceless heart So tonight I'm gonna cut it out and then restart 'Cause I like to keep my issues drawn It's always darkest before the dawn |
 | I can't believe the news today Oh, I can't close my eyes And make it go away How long... How long must we sing this song How long, how long... 'cause tonight... we can be as one Tonight... Broken bottles under children's feet Bodies strewn across the dead end street But I won't heed the battle call It puts my back up Puts my back up against the wall Sunday, Bloody Sunday Sunday, Bloody Sunday Sunday, Bloody Sunday And the battle's just begun There's many lost, but tell me who has won The trench is dug within our hearts And mothers, children, brothers, sisters Torn apart Sunday, Bloody Sunday Sunday, Bloody Sunday How long... How long must we sing this song How long, how long... 'cause tonight...we can be as one Tonight...tonight... |
 | See the stone set in your eyes See the thorn twist in your side I wait for you Sleight of hand and twist of fate On a bed of nails she makes me wait And I wait without you With or without you With or without you Through the storm we reach the shore You give it all but I want more And I'm waiting for you With or without you With or without you I can't live With or without you And you give yourself away And you give yourself away And you give And you give And you give yourself away My hands are tied My body bruised, she's got me with Nothing to win and Nothing left to lose And you give yourself away And you give yourself away And you give And you give And you give yourself away With or without you With or without you I can't live With or without you |
 | Well, some nights, I wish that this all would end Cause I could use some friends for a change And some nights, I'm scared you'll forget me again Some nights, I always win, I always win... But I still wake up, I still see your ghost Oh Lord, I'm still not sure what I stand for, oh What do I stand for? What do I stand for? Most nights, I don't know... So this is it? I sold my soul for this? Washed my hands of that for this? I miss my mom and dad for this? No. When I see stars, when I see, when I see stars, that's all they are When I hear songs, they sound like this one, so come on Oh, come on. Oh, come on, OH COME ON! Well, that is it guys, that is all - five minutes in and I'm bored again Ten years of this, I'm not sure if anybody understands This one is not for the folks at home; Sorry to leave, mom, I had to go Who the fuck wants to die alone all dried up in the desert sun? My heart is breaking for my sister and the con that she call "love" When I look into my nephew's eyes... Man, you wouldn't believe the most amazing things that can come from... Some terrible lies...ahhh... Oh whoa, oh whoa, oh whoa, oh oh Oh whoa, oh whoa, oh whoa, oh oh The other night, you wouldn't believe the dream I just had about you and me I called you up, but we'd both agree It's for the best you didn't listen It's for the best we get our distance... oh... It's for the best you didn't listen It's for the best we get our distance... oh... |
 | Did you ever believe? Were you ever a dreamer? Ever imagine heart open and free? Did you ever deny? Were you ever a traitor? Ever in love with your blood-lust and need? This is a call to arms Gather soldiers Time to go to war This is a battle song Brothers and sisters Time to go to war Ever want to be free? Do you even remember? Want to beguile the devil like me? Ever want to just stop? Do you want to surrender? Or fight for victory? Here we are at the start I can feel the beating of our hearts Here we are at the start Darkness falls here comes the rain To wash away the past and the names Darkness fall here comes the rain To end it all the blood and the games |
 | So you think I'm alone? But being alone's the only way to be When you step outside You spend life fighting for your sanity This is a cold war You better know what you're fighting for This is a cold war Do you know what you're fighting for? If you want to be free Below the ground is the only place to be 'Cause in this life You spend time running from depravity This is a cold war Do you know what you're fighting for? This is a cold war You better know what you're fighting for This is a cold war You better know what you're fighting for This is a cold war Do you know what you're fighting for? Bring wings to the weak and bring grace to the strong May all evil stumble as it flies in the world All the tribes comes and the mighty will crumble We must brave this night and have faith in love I'm trying to find my peace I was made to believe there's something wrong with me And it hurts my heart Lord have mercy, ain't it plain to see? That this is a cold war Do you know what you're fighting for? This is a cold war You better know what you're fighting for |
 | For those days we felt like a mistake, Those times when loves what you hate, Somehow, We keep marching on. For those nights when I couldn't be there, I've made it harder to know that you know, That somehow, We'll keep moving on. There's so many wars we fought, There's so many things were not, But with what we have, I promise you that, We're marching on, We're marching on We're marching on. For all of the plans we've made, There isn't a flag I'd wave, Don't care if we bend, I'd sink us to swim, We're marching on, We're marching on We're marching on. For those doubts that swirl all around us, For those lives that tear at the seams, We know, We're not what we've seen, For this dance we'll move with each other. There ain't no other step than one foot, Right in front of the other. |

 | If I could write to the kid I was before I'd tell him you'd get everything you ever wanted But you will still want more. Someone's gonna tell you Who you should wanna be So you forget the vision that they didn't want to see And when they give up, 'cause they will give up say "Here I am alive". They say you don't grow up you just grow old It's safe to say I haven't done both I made mistakes, I know, I know But here I am alive. So many people close to me cut me down This is supposed to be a bad luck town I jumped, I fell, I hit the ground But here I am alive. If I could write to myself when I was on top of it all, I'd say you're going overboard and when you are falling You're gonna feel so small. Someone's gonna tell you that you deserve the worst They'd say you're never coming back and tell you that you're cursed. But when they give up, 'cause they always give up say- "Here I am alive" |
 | Every time when I look in the mirror All these lines on my face getting clearer The past is gone It went by, like dusk to dawn Isn't that the way Everybody's got the dues in life to pay I know nobody knows Where it comes and where it goes I know it's everybody sin You got to lose to know how to win Half my life Is books written pages Live and learn from fools and From sages You know it's true, oh All these things you do come back to you Sing with me, sing for the years Sing for the laughter, sing for the tears Sing with me, just for today Maybe tomorrow, the good lord will take you away |
 | I have climbed highest mountains I have run through the fields Only to be with you Only to be with you I have run I have crawled I have scaled these city walls These city walls Only to be with you But I still haven't found what I'm looking for But I still haven't found what I'm looking for I have kissed honey lips Felt the healing in her fingertips Burning like a fire This burning inside her I have spoke with the tongue of angels I have held the hand of a devil It was warm in the night I was cold as a stone But I still haven't found what I'm looking for But I still haven't found what I'm looking for I believe in the Kingdom Come Then all the colors will bleed into one Bleed into one But yes I'm still running You broke the bonds And you loosed the chains Carried the cross Of my shame, oh my shame You know I believe it But I still haven't found what I'm looking for |

 | This is the end Hold your breath and count to ten Feel the earth move and then Hear my heart burst again For this is the end I've drowned and dreamed this moment So overdue, I owe them Swept away, I'm stolen Let the sky fall, when it crumbles We will stand tall Face it all together Let the sky fall, when it crumbles We will stand tall Face it all together At skyfall Skyfall is where we start A thousand miles and poles apart When worlds collide, and days are dark You may have my number, you can take my name But you'll never have my heart Let the sky fall, when it crumbles We will stand tall Face it all together |
 | Come up to meet you, tell you I'm sorry You don't know how lovely you are I had to find you, tell you I need you Tell you I set you apart Tell me your secrets, and ask me your questions Oh let's go back to the start Running in circles, coming in tails Heads on a science apart Nobody said it was easy It's such a shame for us to part Nobody said it was easy No one ever said it would be this hard Oh, take me back to the start. I was just guessing at numbers and figures Pulling the puzzles apart Questions of science, science and progress Do not speak as loud as my heart And tell me you love me, come back and haunt me Oh and I rush to the start Running in circles, chasing our tails Coming back as we are Nobody said it was easy Oh it's such a shame for us to part Nobody said it was easy No one ever said it would be so hard I'm going back to the start |
 | One man come in the name of love One man come and go. One man come he to justify One man to overthrow. In the name of love What more in the name of love. In the name of love What more in the name of love. One man caught on a barbed wire fence One man he resist One man washed up on an empty beach One man betrayed with a kiss. In the name of love What more in the name of love. In the name of love What more in the name of love. Early morning, April four Shot rings out in the Memphis sky. Free at last, they took your life They could not take your pride. |
 | I want to run I want to hide I want to tear down the walls That hold me inside I want to reach out And touch the flame Where the streets have no name I want to feel, sunlight on my face See that dust cloud disappear without a trace I want to take shelter from the poison rain Where the streets have no name Where the streets have no name Where the streets have no name We're still building Then burning down love, burning down love And when I go there I go there with you It's all I can do The cities a flood And our love turns to rust We're beaten and blown by the wind Trampled into dust I'll show you a place High on the desert plain Where the streets have no name Where the streets have no name Where the streets have no name Still building Then burning down love Burning down love And when I go there I go there with you It's all I can do |
 | Yeah... All is quiet on New Year's Day A world in white gets underway I want to be with you Be with you night and day Nothing changes on New Year's Day On New Year's Day I will be with you again I will be with you again Under a blood red sky A crowd has gathered in black and white Arms entwined, the chosen few The newspapers says, says Say it's true it's true... And we can break through Though torn in two We can be one I...I will begin again I...I will begin again Oh... Maybe the time is right Oh...maybe tonight... I will be with you again I will be with you again And so we're told this is the golden age And gold is the reason for the wars we wage Though I want to be with you Be with you night and day Nothing changes On New Year's Day On New Year's Day |
