STUCK IN A MOMENT

I'm not afraid
Of anything in this world
There's nothing you can throw at me
That I haven't already heard

I'm just trying to find
A decent melody
A song that I can sing
In my own company

I never thought you were a fool
But darling look at you
You gotta stand up straight
Carry your own weight
These tears are going nowhere baby

You've got to get yourself together
You've got stuck in a moment
And now you can't get out of it

Don't say that later will be better
Now you're stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it

I will not forsake
The colors that you bring
The nights you filled with fireworks
They left you with nothing

I am still enchanted
By the light you brought to me
I listen through your ears
Through your eyes I can see

And you are such a fool
To worry like you do
I know it's tough
And you can never get enough
Of what you don't really need now
My, oh my

You've got to get yourself together
You've got stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it

Oh love, look at you now
You've got yourself stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it

I was unconscious, half asleep
The water is warm 'til you discover how deep

I wasn't jumping, for me it was a fall
It's a long way down to nothing at all

You've got to get yourself together
You've got stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it

Don't say that later will be better
Now you're stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it

And if the night runs over
And if the day won't last
And if our way should falter
Along the stony pass

And if the night runs over
And if the day won't last
And if your way should falter
Along this stony pass

It's just a moment
This time will pass

 

BEAUTIFUL DAY

The heart is a bloom
Shoots up through the stony ground
There's no room
No space to rent in this town

You're out of luck
And the reason that you had to care
The traffic is stuck
And you're not moving anywhere

You thought you'd found a friend
To take you out of this place
Someone you could lend a hand
In return for grace

It's a beautiful day
Sky falls, you feel like
It's a beautiful day
Don't let it get away

You're on the road
But you've got no destination
You're in the mud
In the maze of her imagination

You love this town
Even if that doesn't ring true
You've been all over
And it's been all over you

It's a beautiful day
Don't let it get away
It's a beautiful day

Touch me
Take me to that other place
Teach me
I know I'm not a hopeless case

See the world in green and blue
See China right in front of you
See the canyons broken by cloud
See the tuna fleets clearing the sea out
See the Bedouin fires at night
See the oil fields at first light
And see the bird with a leaf in her mouth
After the flood all the colors came out

It was a beautiful day
Don't let it get away
Beautiful day

Touch me
Take me to that other place
Reach me
I know I'm not a hopeless case

What you don't have you don't need it now
What you don't know you can feel it somehow
What you don't have you don't need it now
Don't need it now
Was a beautiful day

 

SUNDAY BLOODY SUNDAY

Yes...

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...

Sunday, Bloody Sunday Sunday, Bloody Sunday

Wipe the tears from your eyes Wipe your tears away Oh, wipe your tears away Oh, wipe your tears away (Sunday, Bloody Sunday) Oh, wipe your blood shot eyes (Sunday, Bloody Sunday)

Sunday, Bloody Sunday (Sunday, Bloody Sunday) Sunday, Bloody Sunday (Sunday, Bloody Sunday)

And it's true we are immune When fact is fiction and TV reality And today the millions cry We eat and drink while tomorrow they die

(Sunday, Bloody Sunday)

The real battle just begun To claim the victory Jesus won On...

Sunday Bloody Sunday Sunday Bloody Sunday...

 

NEW YEAR'S DAY

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

 

ONE

Is it getting better Or do you feel the same Will it make it easier on you now You got someone to blame You say...

One love One life When it's one need In the night One love We get to share it Leaves you baby if you Don't care for it

Did I disappoint you Or leave a bad taste in your mouth You act like you never had love And you want me to go without Well it's...

Too late Tonight To drag the past out into the light We're one, but we're not the same We get to Carry each other Carry each other One...

Have you come here for forgiveness Have you come tor raise the dead Have you come here to play Jesus To the lepers in your head

Did I ask too much More than a lot You gave me nothing Now it's all I got We're one But we're not the same Well we Hurt each other Then we do it again You say Love is a temple Love a higher law Love is a temple Love the higher law You ask me to enter But then you make me crawl And I can't be holding on To what you got When all you got is hurt

One love One blood One life You got to do what you should One life With each other Sisters Brothers One life But we're not the same We get to Carry each other Carry each other

One...life

One

 

THE FLY

(Oh, baby child)

It's no secret that the stars are falling from the sky It's no secret that our world is in darkness tonight They say the sun is sometimes eclipsed by a moon You know I don't see you when she walks in the room

It's no secret that a friend is someone who lets you help It's no secret that a liar won't believe anyone else They say a secret is something you tell one other person So I'm telling you...child

Low Voice Gospel Voice A man will beg Love...we shine like a A man will crawl burning star On the sheer face of love We're falling from Like a fly on a wall the sky...tonight It's no secret at all

It's no secret that a conscience can sometimes be a pest It's no secret ambition bites the nails of success Every artist is a cannibal, every poet is a thief All kill their inspiration and sing about their grief Oh love...

Low Voice Gospel Voice

A man will rise Love...we shine like a A man will fall burning star From the sheer face of love We're falling from Like a fly from a wall the sky...tonight It's no secret at all

(Love...we shine like a burning star) (We're falling from the sky...tonight)

Low Voice Gospel Voice A man will rise Love...we shine like a A man will fall burning star From the sheer face of love We're falling from Like a fly from a wall the sky...tonight It's no secret at all

It's no secret that the stars are falling from the sky The universe exploded 'cause of one man's lie Look, I gotta go, yeah I'm running outta change There's a lot of things, if I could I'd rearrange

 

 

PLEASE

So you never knew love until you crossed the line of grace And you never felt wanted till you had someone slap your face So you never felt alive until you almost wasted away

You had to win You couldn't just pass The smarted ass At the top of the class Your flying colours Your family tree And all your lessons in history

Please... please... please get up off your knees... please... please... please Please

So you never knew how low you'd stoop to make that call And you never knew what was on the ground till they made you crawl So you never knew that the heaven you keep you stole

Your catholic blues Your convent shoes Your stick on tattoos Now they're making the news Your holy war Your northren star Your sermon on the mount From the boot of your car Please... please... please get up off your knees... please... yeah... please... leave me out of this Please So love is hard and love is tough But love is not what you're thinking of

September... streets capsizing... spilling over and down the drain ... shards of glass splinters like rain but you could on feel your own pain... October... talking getting nowhere... November... December... remember... We just starting again...?

Please... please... please get up off your knees and... please... please... please Please

So love is big bigger than us But love is not what you're thinking of It's what lover deal it's what lovers steal You know I've found it hard to receive ?Cause you my love I could never believe
