Sunday Bloody Sunday
I can't believe the news today I can't close my eyes and make it go away
How long must we sing this song?
How long because 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 against the wall
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 must we sing this song?
How long because tonight, we can be as one tonight
Sunday, Bloody Sunday Sunday, Bloody Sunday
Wipe the tears from your eyes wipe your tears away
Wipe your tears away wipe your bloodshot eyes
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
The real battle just begun to claim the victory Jesus won
On Sunday, Bloody Sunday Sunday, Bloody Sunday
New Year's Day
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
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 newspaper says, says say it's true, it's true
And we can break through though torn in two we can be one
I will begin again I will begin again
Maybe the time is right 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 on New Year's Day
A Sort Of Homecoming
And you know it's time to go through the sleet and driving snow
Across the fields of mourning lights in the distance
And you hunger for the time time to heal, desire time
And your earth moves beneath your own dream landscape
On borderland we run I'll be there tonight a high road out from here
The city walls are all gone down the dust, a smokescreen all around
See faces ploughed like fields that once gave no resistance
And we live by the side of the road on the side of a hill as the valley explode
Dislocated, suffocated the land grows weary of its own
Come away say I come awaysay I
On borderland we run and still we run
We run and don't look back I'll be there tonight
I'll be there tonight I believe I'll be there, so high I'll be there tonight
Come away and say, you say,come away you say
The wind will crack in wintertime this bomb-blast lightning waltz
No spoken words just a scream
Tonight we'll build a bridge across the sea and land
See the sky, the burning rain she will die and live again tonight
And your heart beats so slow through the rain and falling snow
Across the fields of mourning lights in the distance
Don't sorrow don't weep for tonight at last I am coming home
Pride (In The Name Of Love)
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?
Nothing like love there's nothing like love
Nobody like you there's nobody like you
Early morning, April 4 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?
Bullet The Blue Sky
In the howling wind comes a stinging rain
See it driving nails into the souls on the tree of pain
From the firefly a red orange glow
See the face of fear running scared in the valley below
Bullet the blue sky bullet the blue sky
Bullet the blue bullet the blue
In the locust wind comes a rattle and hum
Jacob wrestled the angel and the angel was overcome
You plant a demon seed you raise a flower of fire
We see them burning crosses see the flames, higher and higher
Bullet the blue sky bullet the blue sky
Bullet the blue bullet the blue
Suit and tie comes up to me his face red like a rose on a thorn bush
Like all the colours of a royal flush and he's peeling off those dollar bills
Slapping them down one hundred, two hundred
And I can see those fighter planes and I can see those fighter planes
Across the mud huts as children sleep through the alleys of a quiet city street
And take the staircase to the first floor turn the key and slowly unlock the door
As a man breathes into his saxophone and through the walls you hear the city groan
Outside, it's America outside, it's America
Bullet the blue sky bullet the blue sky
Bullet the blue bullet the blue
See across the field see the sky ripped open
See the rain coming through the gaping wound
Pelting the women and children who run into the arms of America
All I Want Is You
You say you want diamonds on a ring of gold
You say you want your story to remain untold
But all the promises we make
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 in the moon of blindness
A river in a time of dryness a harbour in the tempest
But 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 diamonds 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
