A CELEBRATION

Lyrics Shake! Shake!

Don't go
I believe in a celebration
I believe you set me free
I believe you can loose this chains
I believe you can dance with me
Dance with me

Shake! Shake!
Shake! Shake!

I believe in the third world war
I believe in the atomic bomb
I believe in the powers that be
But they won't overpower me

And, and you can go there too
And, and you can go go go go

Shake! Shake!
Shake! Shake!

And we dance out of time
And everything goes 'round and 'round
And we don't have the time
To watch the world go tumbling down
GO! GO!
I believe in the bells of Christchurch
Ringing for this land
I believe in the cells of Mountjoy
There's an honest man

And, and you can go there too
And, and you can go go go go

I believe in the walls of Jericho (And you...)
I believe they're coming down (Can go there too)
I belive in this city's children (And you...)
I believe the trumpet's sound (can go go go go)

And you can go there too
And you can go go go go...

I believe in what I'm doing
What am I doing here


A DAY WITHOUT ME

Lyrics Starting a landslide in my ego
Look from the outside
To the world I left behind


I'm dreaming
You're awake
If I were sleeping
What's at stake
A day without me


Whatever the feelings
I keep feeling
What are the feelings
You left behind


Today's a day without me


I started a landslide in my ego
Look from the outside
To the world I left behind


In the world I left behind
Wipe their eyes, and then let go
To the world I left behind
Shed a tear, and then let go


ALL I WANT IS YOU
 

Lyrics 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


ANGEL OF HARLEM
 

Lyrics IT WAS A COLD AND WET DECEMBER DAY
WHEN WE TOUCHED DOWN 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 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 WITH BROAD DAYLIGHT
AN ANGEL IN DEVIL´S SHOES
SALVATION IN THE BLUES
YOU NEVER LOOKED LIKE AN ANGEL

SO LONG, ANGEL OF HARLEM


DESIRE
 

Lyrics 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 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 A PREACHER
STEALING HEARTS AT A TRAVELLING SHOW
FOR LOVE OR MONEY?

DESIRE, DESIRE


DISCOTHEQUE

Lyrics You can reach
But you can't grab it
You can hold it, control it
No, you can't bag it

You can push
But you can't direct it Circulate, regulate, oh no
You gotta connect it

You know you're chewing bubblegum
You know what that is
But you still want some
You just can't get enough
Of that lovey-dovey stuff

You get confused
But you know it
Yeah, you hurt for, you work for it, love
You don't always show it

Let's go
Let's go
Let's go
Discotheque

Let's go
Let's go
Discotheque

You're looking for the one
But you know you're somewhere else instead
You wanna be the song
Be the songs you hear in your head

Love...Love...
Love...Love...
Love...

It's no trick
'Cause you can't learn it
It's the way you don't play, that's okay
'Cause you can't earn it

You know you're chewing bubblegum
You know what that is
But you still want some
You just can't get enough
Of that lovey-dovey stuff

Let's go
Let's go
Discotheque

Go go
Go go
Discotheque

You're looking for the one
But you know you're somewhere else instead
You wanna be the song
Be the songs you hear in your head

Love...
(You want heaven in your heart)
(Heaven in your heart)
(The sun, the moon, and the stars)

But you take what you can get
'Cause it's all that you can find
But you know there's something more
Tonight, tonight, tonight

Ha...ha...
Ha...ha...
Ha...ha...
Ha...

(Boom) (Boom) Discotheque
(I can't get, I can't, not enough)
(Boom) (Boom) Discotheque
(I can't get, I can't, not enough)
(Boom) (Boom) Discotheque
(I can't get, I can't, not enough)
(Boom) (Boom) Discotheque
(I can't get, I can't, not enough)
(Boom) (Boom) Discotheque
(I can't get, I can't, not enough

ELEVATION

Lyrics High, higher than the sun
You shoot me from a gun
I need you to elevate me here,
At the corner of your lips
As the orbit of your hips
Eclipse, you elevate my soul

I've lost all self-control
Been living like a mole
Now going down, excavation
I and I in the sky
You make me feel like I can fly
So high, elevation

A star lit up like a cigar
Strung out like a guitar
Maybe you could educate my mind
Explain all these controls
I can't sing but I've got soul
The goal is elevation

A mole, living in a hole
Digging up my soul
Going down, excavation
I and I in the sky
You make me feel like I can fly
So high, elevation

Love, lift me out of these blues
Won't you tell me something true
I believe in you

A mole, living in a hole
Digging up my soul
Going down, excavation
I and I in the sky
You make me feel like I can fly
So high, elevation

Elevation...
Elevation...
Elevation...
Elevation...
Elevation...
Elevation


I STILL HAVEN'T FOUND WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR
 

Lyrics I have climbed highest mountain
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
It burned like fire
This burning desire

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
Well yes I'm still running

You broke the bonds and you
Loosed the chains
Carried the cross
Of my shame
Of my shame
You know I believed it

But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
 

SUNDAY BLOODY SUNDAY
 

Lyrics I CAN´T BELIEVE THE NEWS TODAY
I CAN´T CLOSE MY EYES AND MAKE IT GO AWAY

HOW LONG, HOW LONG MUST WE SING THIS SONG?
HOW LONG? TONIGHT WE CAN BE AS ONE

BROKEN BOTTLES UNDER CHILDREN´S FEET
BODIES STREWN ACROSS A 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

AND THE BATTLE´S JUST BEGUN
THERE´S MANY LOST, BUT TELL ME WHO HAS WON?
THE TRENCHES DUG WITHIN OUR HEARTS
AND MOTHER´S CHILDREN, BROTHERS,SISTERS FROM APART

SUNDAY BLOODY SUNDAY
SUNDAY BLOODY SUNDAY

HOW LONG, HOW LONG MUST WE SING THIS SONG?
HOW LONG? TONIGHT WE CAN BE AS ONE.
TONIGHT, TONIGHT

SUNDAY BLOODY SUNDAY
SUNDAY BLOODY SUNDAY

WIPE THE TEARS FROM OUR EYES
WIPE YOUR TEARS AWAY
WIPE YOUR BLOODSHOT EYES

SUNDAY BLOODY SUNADY
SUNDAY BLOODY SUNDAY

AND IT´S TRUE WE ARE IMMUNE
WHEN FACT IS FICTION AND T.V. IS REALITY
AND TODAY THE MILLIONS CRY
WE EAT AND DRINK WHILE TOMORROW THEY DIE
THE REAL BATTLE JUST BEGUN
TO CLAIM THE VICTOTY JESUS WON
ON A SUNDAY BLOODY SUNDAY
SUNDAY BLOODY SUNDAY


SWEETEST THING

Lyrics My love she throws me like a rubber ball
Oh oh oh, the sweetest thing
She won't catch me or break my fall
Oh oh oh, the sweetest thing
Baby's got blue skies up ahead
But in this I'm a rain cloud
You know she likes a dry kind of love
Oh oh oh, the sweetest thing


I'm losing you
Hey hey hey, I'm losing you yeah
Ain't love the sweetest thing


I wanted to run but she made me crawl
Oh oh oh, the sweetest thing
Eternal fire, she turned me to straw
Oh oh, the sweetest thing
You know I got black eyes
But they burn so brightly for her
Mine is a blind kind of love
Oh oh oh, the sweetest thing


I'm losing you
Oh oh oh, I'm losing you yeah
Ain't love the sweetest thing
Oh oh oh, the sweetest thing
Oh oh, yeah


Blue-eyed boy meets a brown-eyed girl
Oh oh oh, the sweetest thing
You can sew it up but you still see the tear
Oh oh oh, the sweetest thing
Baby's got blue skies up ahead
And in this I'm a rain cloud
You know we got a stormy kind of love
Oh oh oh, the sweetest thing
Oh oh, the sweetest thing
Oh oh oh, the sweetest thing
Oh oh oh, the sweetest thing

Lyrics Six o'clock in the morning
You're the last to hear the warning
You've been trying to throw your arms
Around the world
You've been falling off the sidewalk
Your lips move but you can't talk
Tryin' to throw your arms around the world

I'm gonna run to you, run to you, run to you
Be still
I'm gonna run to you, run to you, run to you
Woman I will

Sunrise like a nosebleed
Your head hurts and you can't breathe
You been tryin' to throw you arms around the world
How far you gonna go
Before you lose your way back home
You've been trying to throw your arms
Around the world

I'm gonna run to you, run to you, run to you
Woman be still
I'm gonna run to you, run to you, run to you
Woman I will

Yeah, I dreamed that I saw Dali
With a supermarket trolley
He was trying to throw his arms around a girl
He took an open top beetle
Through the eye of a needle
He was tryin' to throw his arms around the world

I'm gonna run to you, run to you, run to you
Woman be still
I'm gonna run to you, run to you, run to you
Oh, Woman I will

Nothin' much to say I guess
Just the same as all the rest
Been trying to throw your arms around the world
And a woman needs a man
Like a fish needs a bicycle
When you're tryin' to throw your arms around the world

I'm gonna run to you, run to you, run to you
I'm gonna run to you, run to you, run to you
I'm gonna run to you, run to you, run to you
Woman be still
Woman be still
Be still
Woman be still
Woman I will


UNTIL THE END OF THE WORLD

Lyrics Haven't seen you in quite a while
I was down the hold just passing time
Last time we met was a low-lit room
We were as close together as a bride and groom
We ate the food, we drank the wine
Everybody having a good time
Except you
You were talking about the end of the world

I took the money
I spiked your drink
You miss too much these days if you stop to think
You lead me on with those innocent eyes
You know I love the element of surprise
In the garden I was playing the tart
I kissed your lips and broke your heart
You
You were acting like it was the end of the world

Love...love...love...love...love...love...
Love...love...love...love...love...love...
Love...love...love...love...

In my dream I was drowning my sorrows
But my sorrows, they learned to swim
Surrounding me, going down on me
Spilling over the brim
Waves of regret and waves of joy
I reached out for the one I tried to destroy
You, you said you'd wait
'Til the end of the world


WHEN LOVE COMES TO TOWN
 

Lyrics 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 A THREAD
BUT 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 A 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
WHEN I FELL INTO A DREAM
AS THE MUSIC PLAYED I SAW MY LIFE TURNED AROUND
THAT WAS THE DAY BEFORE LOVE CAME TO TOWN

WHEN LOVE COMES TO TOWN
I WANT TO JUMP THAT TRAIN...

WHEN I WOKE UP I WAS SLEEPING ON THE STREET
I FELT THE WORLD WAS DANCING
AND I WAS 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


WHERE THE STREETS HAVE NO NAME

 
Lyrics 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 city's a flood
And our love turns to rust
We're beaten and blown by the wind
Trampled in dust
I'll show you a place
High on a desert plain
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
 

WHOS GONNA RIDE YOUR WILD HORSES
 

Lyrics You're dangerous 'cause you're honest
You're dangerous, you don't know what you want
Well you left my heart empty as a vacant lot
For any spirit to haunt

Hey hey sha la la
Hey hey

You're an accident waiting to happen
You're a piece of glass left in a beach
Well you tell me things I know you're not supposed to
Then you leave me just out of reach

Hey hey sha la la
Hey hey sha la la

Who's gonna ride your wild horses
Who's gonna drown in your blue sea
Who's gonna ride your wild horses
Who's gonna fall at the foot of thee

Well you stole it 'cause I needed the cash
And you killed it 'cause I wanted revenge
Well you lied to me 'cause I asked you to
Baby, can we still be friends

Hey hey sha la la
Hey hey sha la la

Who's gonna ride your wild horses
Who's gonna drown in your blue sea
Who's gonna ride your wild horses
Who's gonna fall at the foot of thee

Oh, the deeper I spin
Oh, the hunter will sin for your ivory skin
Took a drive in the dirty rain
To a place where the wind calls your name
Under the trees the river laughing at you and me
Hallelujah, heaven's white rose
The doors you open
I just can't close

Don't turn around, don't turn around again
Don't turn around, your gypsy heart
Don't turn around, don't turn around again
Don't turn around, and don't look back
Come on now love, don't you look back

Who's gonna ride your wild horses
Who's gonna drown in your blue sea
Who's gonna taste your salt water kisses
Who's gonna take the place of me

Who's gonna ride your wild horses
Who's gonna tame the heart of thee


WITH OR WITHOUT YOU

Lyrics 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

With or without you
With or without you
I can't live
With or without you
 

ZOO STATION

Lyrics I'm ready
I'm ready for the laughing gas
I'm ready
I'm ready for what's next
I'm ready to duck
I'm ready to dive
I'm ready to say
I'm glad to be alive
I'm ready
I'm ready for the push

In the cool of the night
In the wartmth of the breeze
I'll be crawling 'round
On my hands and knees

Just down the line - Zoo Station
Gotta make it on time - oh, Zoo Station

I'm ready
I'm ready for the gridlock
I'm ready to take it to the street
I'm ready for the shuffle
Ready for the deal
Ready to let go of the steering wheel
I'm ready
Ready for the crush

(She's just down the line)...Zoo Station
(Got to make it on time)...Zoo Station

Alright
Alright, alright, alright, alright
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright
Hey baby, hey baby, hey baby
Hey baby
It's alright, it's alright

Alright, you can turn it up!

Time is a train
Makes the future the past
Leaves you standing in the station
Your face pressed up against the glass

I'm just down the line from your love...(Zoo Station)
You know I'm under the sign...(Zoo Station)
I've gotta make it on time
Make it on time...(Zoo Station)
I'm gonna be there...(Zoo Station)
That's alright...(Zoo Station)
Just two stops down the line from your love...(Zoo Station)
Just a stop down the line


ZOOROPA

Lyrics Zooropa... Vorsprung durch Technik
Zooropa... be all that you can be
Be a winner
Eat to get slimmer

Zooropa... a bluer kind of white
Zooropa... it could be yours tonight
We're mild and green
And squeaky clean

Zooropa... better by design
Zooropa... fly the friendly skies
Through appliance of science
We've got that ring of confidence....

And I have no compass
And I have no map
And I have no reasons
No reasons to get back

And I have no religion
And I don't know what's what
And I don't know the limit
The limit of what we got

Zooropa... don't worry baby. It'll be alright
Zooropa... you got the right shoes
Zooropa... to get you through the night
Zooropa... it's cold outside, but brightly lit
Zooropa... skip the subway
Zooropa... let's go to the overground
Get your head out of the mud baby
Put flowers in the mud baby
Overground

No particular place names
No particular song
I've been hiding
What am I hiding from?

Zooropa... don't worry baby. It's gonna be alright
Zooropa... uncertainty... can be a guiding light
Zooropa... I hear voices, ridiculous voices
Zooropa... in the slipstream
Zooropa... let's go, let's go... overground
Zooropa... take your head out of the mud baby

(She's gonna dream up the world she wants to live in
She's gonna dream out loud
