Sunday Bloody Sunday  (4:38)

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 torn apart.

Sunday, bloody Sunday.
Sunday, bloody Sunday.

Wipe the tears from your eyes, 
Wipe your tears away,
Wipe your bloodshot 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.

Seconds  (3:24)

It 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 every day.
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,
Say goodbye, say goodbye,
It take 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 Day  (5:38)

All 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 sky
A crowd has gathered in black and white,
Arms entwined, the chosen few,
Newspapers say, it says 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.
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 age
And 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 Song  (4:48)

Like a song I have to sing,
I sing it for you.
Like the words I have to bring,
I bring them to you.
And in leather, lace or chains,
we stake our lcaim,
Revolution once again.
But I won't,
I won't wear it on my sleeve.
I can see through this expression
And you know I don't believe.
I'm too old to be told,
Exactly who are you?
Tonight, tomorrow's too 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 our 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 lose, nothing to gain,
Nothing at all.
And if you can't help yourself, 
Well take a look around you,
When others need your time.
You say it's time to go it's your time

Drowning Man  (4:12)

Take my hand
You know I'll be there,
If you can I'll cross
The sky for your love,
For I have promised for
To be with you tonight
And for the time that will come.

Take my hand
You know I'll be there,
If you can I'll cross
The sky for your love
And I understand
These winds and tides,
This change of times
Won't drag you away.
Hold on, hold on tightly, 
hold on and don't let go
Of my love.

The storms will pass
It won't be long now.
The storms will pass
But my love last forever.

And take my hand,
You know I'll be there,
If you can I'll cross the sky
For you love.
Give you what I hold dear,
Hold on, hold on tightly.
Hold on, hold on tightly.
Rise up, rise up with wings,
Like eagles you'll run, you'll run,
You'll run and not grow weary.

Take my hand, take my hand.
Hold on, hold on tightly.
Hold on, hold on tightly.
This love lasts forever,
This love lasts forever,
Take my hand,
Take my hand.

Surrender (6:01)

The city's alight
With lovers and lies
Bright blue eyes.
The city is bright,
Brighter than day tonight,
Surrender, Surrender,
Surrender, Surrender.

Sadie said she couldn't
Work out what it was all about.
And so she let go,
Now Sadie's on the street
And the people she meets you know.
She tried to be a good girl
And a good wife.
Raise a good family,
Lead a good life.
It's not good enough
She got herself up on the 48th floor
Got to find out, find out
What shs's living for.
Surrender, Surrender,
Surrender, Surrender.

The city's a fire,
A passionate flame
That knows me by name.
The city's desire
To 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,
Papa sing my sing my song.
