Big Thing

Get it up, get it out, get it in time,
Hang it up, hanging out, hanging on a big thing.
Move it in, move it out, move up the line
Bang it up, bang it out, banging on a big thing.

Brothers and sisters let me hear it...
(Get it up, get it on, get it in time)
Give me the green light and watch me move it...
(Move it up, move it out, move up the line)
This is temptation - power rotation
Give me the friction and watch me make it...
(Make it up, making out, making it slide)

So glad you came along
This time you won't be wrong
You love to turn it on
And you're not the only one
(chorus)

Brothers and sisters we can take it
(shake it up, shake it out, shake it all the time)
Give me the suction we can stick it
(Lick it up, suck it up, stick it outside)
This is temptation (station) power rotation (to station)
Give me the playlist and watch me eat it
(Eat it up, beat it up, beat it in time)

So glad you came along
This time you won't be wrong
You love to turn it on
And you're not the only one

(chorus)

So glad you came along
This time you won't be wrong
You love to turn it on
And you're not the only one

(chorus)

I Don't Want Your Love

I, don't mind, if you're keeping someone else behind,
I, don't care, cuz you've got something I can share,
Hey, take your chance, even if it's only -
Only while we're dancing in the light, of your second sight
Because when you understand me you might feel good around me now.

I don't want your love to bring me down.
I don't want your love so turn it around.

I, won't turn you out, if you've got someone else -
Someone else you care about, because you, must realize,
My obsessive fascination is in your imagination (now pick it up)...

I don't want your love to bring me down
I don't want your love so turn it around
(I don't what your love, I don't what your love)
Your rythym is the power - to move me
It's something you control - Completely,
I don't want your love,
I don't want your love.
(I Don't what your love)

I, like noise, cuz I like waking up the house
I cannot sit down, I can't shut my mouth,
But when you understand me,
You might feel good around me (now back it up)...

(chorus)

I don't want your love.
(I Don't what your love)
I don't want your love.
(I Don't what your love)

I don't want your love to bring me down...
(I Don't what your love)

All She Wants Is

All she wants is...
All she wants is...
All she wants is...

(chorus)

Hey...
Spend your money on the corner now,
Know you've gotta save some for the shoeshine boy
You've been pulling them by the hand inside,
Oh...collecting all your toys.
If you need a lead to heaven now, just stick around
You're going to be there.
What do you care?
What do you dare?
What does your heart say now?

(chorus)
Divine intervention, couldn't keep the word from leaking out,
With your pleasure in suspension
Not to mention what you hang it around
If you need a lead to heaven,
A place to share
In every position...
What do you care?
What do you dare?
What does your heart say now?

(chorus)

More!

(chorus)

Too Late Marlene

Walking out of nowhere
And I let you in
Til my imagination, went for a spin
I seen you every night
Been making out since then
And still I wonder why everybody's saying
That ice is thin

And I think I know you
Just a little bit by now
And I think I can show you
You see baby, I don't want to fight about it...

Send down your rain,
Then who's to blame?
And you'll understand because its' much too late to change

Awaken to this hunger
And then watch my heat
Grow paler than the moonlight
That you made me eat
And if we run our lives
Along a one way street
We'll always wonder why everytime -
It still tastes just as sweet

And I think I know you
Just a little bit by now
And I think I can show you
You see baby, I don't want to fight about it...

(chorus)

I will explain, (too late)
We're to much the same, (too late)
No I won't leave
Because it's just too late Marlene

You see baby, I don't want to fight about it...

(chorus)

I will explain, (too late)
We're to much the same, (too late)
No I won't leave
Because it's just just too late Marlene

Too late
Too late
Too late Marlene

Drug (It's Just A State Of Mind)

Take me in the morning
Take me every night
Take me when you're feeling low
Take me when you want to stay

Take me,
Take me, Take me, Take me, Take me
Take, Take, Take, Take.

Before you slide into the wide
There's something I want you to know
(what you see is what you want)
In all your stretch of conciousness
You've still got a long way to go
(What you want its what you need)
Some make you spin,
Some make you sweat,
Its only here for you to choose (choose me)
And if you try, an alternative high
Then tell me what have you got to loose now...

Take me every morning
Take me every night
Take me when you're feeling low
Take me when you want to stay - up all night
Up all night

The hit, the hit
The hit to fit reality,
Its just a state of mind

(What you see is what you want)
And you'll admit its more than just an axe that you've got to grind
(What you want is what you need)

We'll make a spin
We'll make you sweat
All you've got to do is use me (use me)
Some like it hot
But I like it wet
So tell me what have we got to lose now...

(chorus)

A drug, its a drug
A drug, its a drug
A drug, its a drug
A drug, its a drug

(use me) (use me) (choose me) (choose me) (use me) (use me)

A drug, its a drug
A drug, its a drug
A drug, its a drug
A drug, its a drug

(chorus)

Take me every morning
Take me every night
Take me when you're feeling slow
Take me when the mood is right

(chorus)

Take me every morning
Take me every night
Take me when you're feeling slow
Take me when the mood is right
Up all night

Do You Believe In Shame?

Do you believe in love?
Do you believe in shame?
And if love can conquer all then why do we only feel the pain?

I heard you speak my name, heard you singing The Stones,
Maybe heard you laughing in a line of static on my telephone

So why your eyelids are closed, inside a case of rust,
And did you have to change all your poets fire into frozen dust?

I've tried to justify it, to learn from your mistake,
But where's the stupid lie that has to make it's point -
With such a pointless waste.

Come out...

Do you believe in shame?
Do you believe in love?
And if they taste the same would you love again or abandon both?

I don't think I ever can, belive my friend has gone,
Keep saying it's alright,
I'm going to bring you back but I know I'm wrong.
There's nothing I can say, there's nothing left to do
It's just that lately I feel so damn lonely when I think of you

And it may seem selfish now, but I'll hold on to the memory
Until all this fear is washed away

Do you believe in love?
Do you believe in life?
'Cos I believe a little part of you inside of me will never die...

'Cos I Believe a little part of you inside of me will never die...
'Cos I believe a little part of you inside of me will never die...
'Cos I believe a little part of you inside of me will never... die.

Palomino

She lays on the wall, watching the strangers drift away,
Mid-day is all thick with the sun of Arabia.

She surrenders her voices they gather, on the wind, talking,
chanting, breathing into her body...

Yesterdays oh...

Awaken beside the scent of burnt sugar - on her skin,
Painting eyes - thick with the color she brings in
always sure and strong when the lightning tumbles down,
Don't you frown, everything will be in time for this evening...

If there's secrets she has to be party to,
Every one of them,
If there's heaven she gets to the heart -
And you'll wonder...

Why she says... when I run out of blue,
Help me rise instead,
Now I can run to you.
Why she says... when I run out of blue,
Give me red instead,
Now let me run... / (Now I can run to you...)

If there's secrets she has to be party to,
Every one of them,
If there's heaven she gets to the heart -
And you'll know just...

(chorus)

Land

Away from you,
Away from here
Away from you.
Stay for me...
Stay for me...
Stay for me...

Baby, I'm really sorry, to break your dream, when it's so early.
Headlights, on the windowpane,
They're getting lost, in the light of day.

Tomorrow is today, and soon my ship will sail
Away from here.. to walk a howling sealane.
Stay - for me your love is life for love is land

Baby, just hear my story, before I leave, before we write the end
Standing, across the ocean stream,
I'll need to know, I'll need your country then.

Tomorrow and today, you keep my landfall safe.

Away from here (away from here), to walk a howling sealane,
(away from you)
Stay for me (stay for me), I need your love to land.
Away from here (away from here), to walk a howling sealane,
(away from you)
Stay for me (stay for me), your love is life, for love is land.

(chorus)

love is land...

Edge Of America

Walk the edge of America.
A concrete beach to scrape my head,
Inside the subway stinking fear and shame becomes the violent breath.

Vigilantes out on dawn patrol, but now there's nothing left to hide.
I'm just a number on the metal fence which marks the great divide.

(sing it)

Hey boy give your dreams a rest, if you're tired of searching...
This is where it ends, there's nothing left to lose nothing to protest
Learn to love your anger now, anger here is all you possess...
Welcome to the edge

Below the towers of the citadel,
Seems someone overlooked the cost.
Forgotten soldier of paradise, now paradise is lost.

Recognition never realised,
Salvation lost among the crowd.
So tell me here beside the sterile sea where is your nation now?

(we say)

Hey boy give your dreams a rest, if you're tired of searching...
This is where it ends, there's nothing left to lose nothing to protest
Learn to love your anger now, anger here is all you possess...
Welcome to the edge

I Believe / All I Need To Know (Medley)

The taxman's in the pocketbook
The pressmen are by the bar
And all the world is at your door

It's strange that you should lock it up
And preach an open heart
But you know what they're waiting for

You can turn your face away now
And don't think twice
I'm just the ordinary guy you used to know
I'm not after your money
Or even your advice
I believe you'll follow me
It's all I need to know
(to walk away)

I was tempted by the devil in this deep blue swimming pool
Until the devils makeup ran...
And my future's in the strangle hold of ever changing rules
I don't intend to understand

You can stop pretending now that I had you fooled
I'm still the ordinary guy you used to know
I'm not after your money
To paralise my soul
I believe you'll follow me
It's all I need to know
Promise me you'll try to understand before I go
(and walk away)

You can turn your face away now
And don't think twice
I'm just the ordinary guy you used to know
I'm not after your money
Or even your advice
I believe you'll follow me
It's all I need to know
Promise me you'll try to understand before I go

All I need to, all I need to, all I need to know

God (London)

God created the world,
Then created the Devil to blame for his mistakes

I closed the door of my hotel room behind me,
It was like closing a chapter in the book of life.
Outside thirty floors below I could hear the police
Using their sirens like wolf whistles to pick up young girls.

On TV Oliver North (his fifteen minutes of fame ticking steadily away)
Was being fuzzy about crucial events which had happened a year earlier
What a flake...but then who isn't?
That was Regan's defence at least.

The worst thing is how politics begin to lead into your life.
Back in our innocence we used to simply stick two fingers up to politics,
Say "fuck the Queen", that was about all you had to say anyway,
And go back to the more important business of making music.

So why was I sitting there feeling angry about -
Covert operations and illegal aid to the contras?
I mean I'm not even American (may be we all are a little bit).
Then I realised it was just the idea that in this particular democracy
And probably every other one in the world, there is somebody in power
Who thinks he is more right than all the people who put him there,
All the people who for once in their lives took an interest.

Outside the wind was howling the "Who Who's" from Sympathy for the Devil
Round and round the concrete hotel walls and corners.
That was then, this is...!

This Is How A Road Gets Made

Somebody walked on a virgin (land).
Someone else saw their tracks and followed them, leaving a path.
It seemed as though i were looking down the hill when I first saw it,
But, as I waled on, I realized I was going up.

Somebody whistled behind and turning round, they seemed far below.
Then I came to where there had been a fire and was shaded
From the sun by the trees.
Figure of eight. It's our year, it always was.

Credentials:
Made of earth,
Drinks water,
Breathes air,
Makes fire.

It is too nice to paint your eyes
I took a tear, I don't even want
We don't like, we don't like
The things they say

It takes true life, to you paint your eyes
You don't dare with your imagination
We don't like, we got some
We find you've failed

You don't wait around
You don't realise there's something else
You'd better lock yourself
That I don't think it is all been really there
It's said so the rumour's dead
But I don't say it

That is the world you paint beside
And in a 9 to 5 around town
He's obsessed to make it
You'll understand

Here's back to love, you made it out
I've never really, never really bored
He's obsessed to make it
You'll find yourself

Yeah

You don't believe it
Don't listen to everything you know
You're mine in, in your sacred letter
You're my baby
Your voice is so important to me
You've lied it, she's my babe to set a feeling

It's all on my back, you may see that
I'm not your man and your soul thing
You don't search the findings
The world's at stake

You might to love but might not to have
But there's a thing she made me every morning
I don't lie, cause I say
You're my best friend

You may like everything
And that's a fantastic story
