When you get to the bottom
You go back to the top of
the slide
And you stop and you turn
And you go for a ride
Then you get to the bottom
And you see me again
Do you, don't you want me
to love you?
I'm coming down fast, but
I'm miles above you
Tell me, tell me, tell me
the answer
Well, you ain't no love,
but you ain't no dancer.
Helter skelter, helter skelter
Helter skelter
Hold me now, hold me now
Till this hour has gone
around
And I'm gone on the rising
tide
For to face Van Diemen's
Land
It's a bitter pill I swallow
here
To be rent from one so dear
We fought for justice and
not for gain
But the magistrate sent
me away
Now kings will rule and the
poor will toil
And tear their hands hands
as their tear the soil
But a day will come in this
dawning age
When an honest man sees
and honest wage
Hold me now, hold me now
Till this hour has gone
around
And I'm gone on the rising
tide
For to face Van Diemen's
Land
{Still the gunmen rules and
the widows pay
A scarlet coat now a black
beret
They thought that blood
and sacrafice
Could out of death bring
forth a life}
Yeah, lover I'm off the streets
Gonna go where the bright
lights
and the big city meet
With a red guitar, on fire
Desire
She's the candle
burning in my room
I'm like the needle
needle and spoon
Over the counter
with a shotgun
Pretty soon, everybody's
got one
And the fever when I'm beside
her
Desire,Desire
(Burning, Burning)
She's the dollars
She's my protection
She's the promise
In the year of election
Sister, I can't let you
go
I'm like the preacher
Stealing hearts at a travelling
show
For love or money, money...
?
Desire...
Like a desert needs rain
Like a town needs a name
I need your love
Like a drifter needs a room
Hawkmoon
I need your love
Like a rhythm unbroken
Like drums in the night
Like sweet soul music
Like sunlight
I need your love
Like coming home
and you don't know where
you've been
Like bland coffee
Like nicotine
I need your love
When the night has no end
And the day yet to begin
As the room spins around
I need your love
Like a Phoenix rising
Needs a holy tree
Like the sweet revenge
Of a bitter enemy
I need your love
Like the heat needs the sun
Like honey on her tongue
Like the muzzle of a gun
Like oxygen
I need your love
When the night has no end
And the day yet to begin
As the room spins around
I need your love
Like thunder needs rain
Like the preacher needs
pain
Like tongues of flame
Like a blindman's cane
Like a needle in a vein
Like someone to blame
Like a thought unchained
Like a runaway train
I need your love
Like a fighter's rage
His dreams in a cage
Like faith needs a doubt
Like a freeway out
I need your love
Like powder needs a spark
Like lies need the dark
I need your love
"There must be some way out
of here," said the joker to the thief,
"There's too much confusion
here, I can't get no relief.
Businessmen they drink my
wine, plowmen dig my earth,
None of them along the line
know what any of it is worth."
"No reason to get excited,"
the thief, he kindly spoke,
"There are many here among
us who feel that life is but a joke.
But you and I, we've been
through that, and this is not our fate,
So let us not talk falsely
now, becasue the hour is getting late."
All along the watchtower,
princes kept the view
Whille all the women came
and went, barefoot servants, too.
Outside in the distance a
wildcat did growl,
Two riders were approaching,
the wind began to howl.
I need some freedom
Freedom for my people
I want some freedom
Freedom
Freedom, freedom for my
people
I'd like some freedom
I need some freedom for
my people
Freedom
Freedom, freedom for my
people
In the shit house, a shotgun
Praying hands hold me down
If only the hunter was hunted
In this tin can town.
No stars in the black night
Looks like the sky fall
down,
No sun in the daylight
Looks like it's chained
to the ground.
Broken back to the ceiling
Broken nose to the floor
I scream at the silence
That crawls under the door
(under the floor)
The warden says
"The exit is sold,"
If you want a way out -
Silver and Gold.
-Silver and Gold.
There's a rope around my
neck
There's a trigger in your
gun
Jesus say something!
I am someone!
I seen the coming and the
going
The captains and the kings
Their navy blue uniforms
Them bright and shiny things
Yes, captains and kings
in the slave ship holds
They came to collect
Silver and Gold
Silver and Gold
The temperature is rising
The fever white hot
Mister I ain't got nothing
But it's more than you've
got.
These chains no longer bind
me
Nor the shackles at my feet
Outside are the prisoners
Inside the free (set them
free).
Last Chorus
A prize fighter in the corner
is told
Hit where it hurts - For
Silver and Gold
-Silver and Gold
You can stop the world from
turning around.
You just gotta pay a penny
in the pound.
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
What more in the name of
love
In the name of love
What more in the name of
love
Early morning April four
A shot rings out in the
Memphis sky
Free at last
They took your life
They could not take your
pride
In the name of love
What more in the name of
love
In the name of love
What more in the name of
love
In the name of love
It was a cold and wet December
day
When we touched the ground
at JFK
Snow was melting on the
ground
On BLS I heard the sound
(of an Angel)
New York like a Christmas
tree
I said tonight this city
belongs to me (Angel)
Soul Love this love won't
let me go
So long... Angel of Harlem
Birdland on 53
The street sounds like a
symphony
We got John Coltrane and
a love supreme
Miles and she has got to
be an Angel
Lady Day got diamond eyes
She sees the truth behind
the lies (Angel)
Soul Love this love won't
let me go
So long... Angel of Harlem
Blue light on the avenue
God knows they got to you
An empty glass, the lady
sings
Eyes swollen like a bee
sting
Blinded you lost your way
On the side streets and
the alleyways
Like a star exploding in
the night
Filling up the city in broad
daylight
An Angel in Devil's shoes
Salvation in the blues
You never looked like an
Angel
So long... Angel of Harlem
-- for Billie Holiday
Love rescue me
Come forth and speak to
me
Raise me up and don't let
me fall
No man is my enemy
My own hands imprison me
Love rescue me
Many strangers have I met
On the road to my regret
Many lost who seek to find
themselves in me
They ask me to reveal
The very thoughts they would
conceal
Love rescue me
And the sun in the sky makes
a shadow of you and I
Stretching out as the sun
sinks in the sea
I'm here without a name
in the palace of my shame
Love rescue me
In the cold mirror of a glass
I see my reflection pass
I see the dark shades of
what I used to be
I see the purple of her
eyes
The scarlet of my lies
Love rescue me
And the sun in the sky makes
a shadow of you and I
Stretching out as the sun
sinks in the sea
I'm hanging by my thumbs
I'm ready for whatever comes
Love rescue me
Yea though I walk through
the valley of the shadow
Yet I will fear no evil
I have cursed thy rod and
staff
They no longer comfort me
Love rescue me
Sha la la la sha la la la
Sha la la la sha la la la
I've conquered my past
The future is here at last
I stand at the entrance
To a new world I can see
The ruins to the right of
me
Will soon have lost sight
of me
Love rescue me
I was a sailor, I was lost
at sea
I was under the waves before
love rescued me
I was a fighter, I could
turn on thread
Now I stand accused of the
things I've said
When love comes to town
I want to jump that train
When love comes to town
I want to catch that flame
Maybe I was wrong to ever
let you down
But I did what I did before
love came to town
I used to make love under
the red sunset
I was making promises I
was soon to forget
She was pale as the lace
of her wedding gown
But I left her standing
before love came to town
I ran into a juke joint when
I heard a guitar scream
The notes were turning blue
I was dazed and in a dream
As the music played I saw
my life turn around
But that was the day before
love came to town
When love comes to town
I want to jump that train
When love comes to town
I want to catch that flame
Maybe I was wrong to ever
let you down
But I did what I did before
love came to town
{When I woke up I was sleeping
in the street
I felt the world was dancing
And I was the dirt beneath
their feet
When I looked up i saw the
Devil looking down
But my Lord he played guitar
the day love came to town}
I was there when they crucified
my Lord
I held the scabbard when
the soldier drew his sword
I threw the dice when they
pierced his side
But I've seen love conquer
the great divide
When love comes to town
I want to jump that train
When love comes to town
I want to catch that flame
Maybe I was wrong to ever
let you down
But I did what I did before
love came to town
See the sun rise over her
skin
Don't change it
See the sunrise on her skin
Dawn changes everything
And the delta sun burns bright and violent
Mississippi and the cotton
wood heat
Sixty-six the highway speaks
Of deserts dry, of cool
green valleys
Gold and Silver veins -
shining cities
In this heartland
She feels like water in my
hand
Freeway like a river cuts
through this land
Into the side of love like
a burning spear
And the poison rain brings
a flood of fear
Through the ghost ranch
hills,
Death Valley waters
In the towers of steel belief
goes on and on
In this heartland
In this heartland
In this heartland
Heaven knows this is a heartland
Don't believe the devil I
don't believe his book
But the truth is not the
same without the lies he made up
I don't believe in excess
success is to give
I don't believe in riches
but you should see where I live
I... I believe in love
Don't believe in forced entry
I don't believe in rape
But every time she passes
by wild thoughts escape
I don't believe in deathrow,
skidrow or the gangs
Don't believe in the Uzi
it just went off in my hand
I... I believe in love
Don't believe in cocaine
I got a speedball in my head
I could cut and crack you
open... did you hear what I said?
Don't believe them when
they tell me there ain't no cure
The rich stay healthy the
sick stay poor
I... I believe in love
I don't believe in Goldman
his type is like a curse
Instant Karma's gonna get
him if I don't get him first
I don't believe that Rock
'N Roll can really change the world
As it spins in revolution
spirals and turns
I... I believe in love
I don't believe in the 60's
in the golden age of pop
You glorify the past when
the future dries up
I heard a singer on the
radio late last night
Says he's gonna kick the
darkness
till
it bleeds daylight
I... I believe in love
I feel like I'm falling,
like I'm spinning on a wheel
It always stops beside a
name with a presence I can feel
I... I believe in love
-for John Lennon
You say you want a diamond
on a ring of gold
You say you want your story
to remain untold
All the promises we made
from the
Cradle to the grave
When all I want is you
You say you'll give me a
highway with no one on it
Treasure just to look upon
it
All the riches in the night
You say you'll give me eyes
on a moon of blindness
A river in a time of dryness
A harbour in the tempest
All the promises we make
From the cradle to the grave
When all I want is you
You say you want your love
to work out right
To last with me through
the night
You say you want a diamond
on a ring of gold
Your story to remain untold
Your love not to grow cold
All the promises we break
from the
Cradle to the grave
When all I want is you
All I want is you
