War

Sunday Bloody SundayI 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 mothers, children, brothers, sisters torn 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 your eyes,Wipe your tears away,Wipe your blood shot eyes.Sunday, bloody Sunday.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 victory Jesus won,On a Sunday bloody Sunday,Sunday bloody Sunday.
SecondsIt takes a second to say goodbye,Say goodbye.It takes a second to say goodbye,Say goodbye, say bye bye where are you going to now?Fall, rise and . . . Fall, rise and . . .Lightning flashes across the sky,>From east to west you do or die.Like a thief in the night,You see the world by candlelight.Fall, rise and . . . Fall, rise and . . .In an apartment on Times Square,You can assemble them anywhere.Held to ransom, hell to pay,A revolution everyday.U.S.S.R., D.D.R., London, New York, Peking.It's the puppets, It's the puppets who pull the strings.Say goodbye, say goodbye.It takes a second to say goodbye,Push the button and pull the plug, say goodbye.Fall, rise and . . . Fall, rise and . . .They're doing the atomic bomb,Do they know where the dance comes from?Yes they're doing the atomic bomb,They want you to sing along.Say goodbye, say goodbye.
New Year's DayAll is quiet on New Year's Day,A world in white gets underway,And 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 skyA crowd has gathered in black and white.Arms entwined, the chosen few,Newspapers say, it says it's true.And we can break through,though torn in two we can be one.I will begin again, I will begin again.Oh and maybe the time is right,Oh maybe tonight.I will be with you again.I will be with you again.And so we are told this is the golden ageAnd gold is the reason for the wars we wage.Though I want to be with you,To be with you night and day.Nothing changes on New Year's day.
Like a SongLike a song I have to sing,I sing it for you.Like the words I have to bring,I bring them for you.And in leather, lace and chains,We stake our claim,Revolution once again.But I won't,I won't wear it on my sleeve.I can see through this expressionAnd you know I don't believe.I'm too old to be told,Exactly who are you?Tonight, tomorrow's to late.And we love to wear a badge, a uniform,And we love to fly a flag.But I won't let others live in hell,As we divide against each other,And we fight amongst ourselves.Too set in out ways to try to rearrange.Too right to be wrong, in this rebel song.Let the bells ring out, is there nothing left?Is honesty what you want?A generation without name, ripped and torn,Nothing to loose, nothing to gain,Nothing at all.And if you can't help yourself,Well take a look around youWhen others need your time.You say it's time to go it's your time.Angry words won't stop the fight.Two wrings won't make it right.A new heart is what I need,Oh God, make it bleed,Is there nothing left?

Two Hearts Beat As OneI don't know,I don't know which side I'm on.I don't know my right from left,Or my right from wrong.Say I'm a fool,Say I'm not for you.But if I'm a fool for you,That's something.Two hearts beat as one.Two hearts beat as one.Can't stop the dance,This is not our chance.I can't stop the dance,Maybe this is not our chance.Two hearts beat as one.Two hearts beat as one.Beat on black,Beat on white,Beat on anything,Go get it right.Beat on you or beat on me.OhI don't know,How to say what has got to be said.I don't know if it's black or white.There's other's who see it red.I don't give the answers right.I'll leave that to you.Is this love out of fashion?Or is it the time of year?I have these words to sections.Too late to one of you.Two hearts beat as one.Two hearts beat as one.I'll shine my spirit aloud.Try to explain.What I feel.Two hearts.I can't stop the dance.Baby, this is my last chance.I said don't stop the dance.Baby this is not our last chance.I said, can't stop the dance.

SurrenderThe city's alightWith lovers and liesBright blue eyes.The city is bright,Brighter than day tonight,Surrender, Surrender.Sadie said she couldn'tWork out what it was all about.And so she let go,Now Sadie's on the streetAnd the people she meets you know.She tried to be a good girlAnd a good wifeRaise a good family,Lead a good life.It's not good enoughShe got herself up on the 48th floorGot to find out, find outWhat she's living for.Surrender, Surrender.The city's a fire,A passionate flameThat knows me by name.The city's desireTo take me for more and more.It's in the street getting under my feet,It's in the air it's everywhere I look for you,It's in the things I do and say.If I want to live, I've got to die to myself someday.Papa sing my sing my song.Papa sing my sing my song.
'40' (Taken from Psalm 40)I waited patiently for the LordHe inclined and heard my cry.He brought me right out of the pit,out of my reglade.I will sing a new song,How long to sing this song?He set my feet upon a rock,and made my footsteps heard.Many will see,Many will see and fear.I will sing, sing a new song.How long to sing this song?
