@SONG: SOFT DOG
Soft dog
Soft dog
@SONG: ACROSS THE RIVER
Across the river
Across the river
Across the river I go
@SONG: I GO SWIMMING
Ooh, I go swimming, swimming in the water
Swimming in the river, swimming in the sea
I go swimming
I go swimming, swimming in the water
Swimming in the pool, swimming is cool
I go swimming
The sun is burning, I am yearning
For the waterflow (waterflow)
Next to my skin I, like to begin a
Waterflow (waterflow)
Letting off steam I float in a dream,
I can't let go (can't let go)
Follow my wishes, follow the fishes
Down below (down below)
I go swimming
I need water, water to drink
Water on my brain, water sustain,
Water over me
I want water, water I need
Water to think, water to drink
Water over me
The sun is burning, I am yearning
For the waterflow (waterflow)
Next to my skin I, like to begin a
Waterflow (waterflow)
Letting off steam I float in a dream,
I can't let go (can't let go)
Follow my wishes, follow the fishes
Down below (down below)
I go swimming
I go swimming, I go swimming
Swimming in water, swimming in water, swimming in water
Water all over me
Swimming in water, swimming in water, swimming in water
I go swimming, I go swimming
I go swimming, I go swimming
Swimming, I go swimming
Oh I go swimming, I go swimming
Water all over me
Swimming in water, swimming in water, swimming in water
Water all over me
Swimming in water, swimming in water, swimming in water
Water all over me
Swimming in water, swimming in water, swimming in water
Water all over me
@SONG: WALK THROUGH THE FIRE
Walk through the fire
Walk through the fire (walk through the fire)
Through the dust and ashes
While the building crashes
Walk through the flame (walk through the fire)
No trace of indecision
Lion keep his vision clear
Moving out
Across the water
The wet leaves quiver in the heat
Darkness heavy on my shoulder
Smell the smoke, sickly sweet
The body's weak, the shadow's strong
Walk through the fire (walk through the fire)
Through the dust and ashes
While the building crashes
Walk through the flame (walk through the fire)
Lion show no sign of fear
Walk through the fire (walk through the fire)
Through the dust and ashes
While the building crashes
Walk through the flame (walk through the fire)
No time for doubt or caution
Taken by the strong emotion
Walk through the fire (walk through the fire)
No trace of indecision
Lion hold his vision clear
(Walk, walk, walk)
Walk through the fire (walk through the fire)
Walking in the path of angel
Walk on down below, walk on down below
Walk on down below, walk on down below
@SONG: THIS IS THE PICTURE
Flying birds
Excellent birds
Watch them fly, there they go
Falling snow
Excellent snow
Here it comes, watch it fall
Long words
Excellent words
I can hear them now
This is the picture, this is the picture
This is the picture, this is the picture
I'm sitting by the window
Watching the snow fall
I'm looking out
And I'm moving, turning in time
Catching up, moving in
Jump up! I can land on my feet, look out!
This is the picture, this is the picture
This is the picture, this is the picture
Looking out, watching out
When I see the future I close my eyes
I can see it now
I see pictures of people (rising up)
Pictures of people (falling down)
I see pictures of people
They're standing on their heads, they're ready
They're looking out, look out!
They're watching out, watch out!
I see pictures of people, rising up
Pictures of people, falling down
I see pictures of people
They're standing on their heads, they're ready
They're looking out, look out!
They're watching out, watch out!
They're looking out, look out!
They're watching out, watch out!
I see pictures of people
I see pictures of people
@SONG: DON'T BREAK THIS RHYTHM
Don't break this rhythm, don't break this motion
All this momentum keeps stealing through
Across the cornfields, through all the marshland
There's nothing gonna stop this thing
Clear the trees, burn the brushwood
Bring the diggers in, I'm gonna move this earth
Lay the big stones, put down the sleepers
Haul the steel in, I will beat this land
Don't care how but, I'm coming through here
Whatever it takes, oh
Don't break this rhythm, don't break this motion
We work together in sympathy
Don't break this rhythm, don't break this motion
We work together in sympathy
Don't break this rhythm, don't break this motion
We work together in sympathy
Don't break this rhythm, don't break this motion
We work together in sympathy
Right through these fences, cut through the stone walls
Dig out the tunnels from a solid stone
There she is, but so surrounded
All those fancy men with soft white hands
Come all this distance, that should be me there
Whatever it takes (whatever it takes), oh
Don't break this rhythm, don't break this motion
We work together in sympathy
Don't break this rhythm, don't break this motion
We work together in sympathy
Don't break this rhythm, don't break this motion
We work together in sympathy
Don't break this rhythm, don't break this motion
We work together in sympathy
@SONG: CURTAINS
Oh, draw the blinds
We can shut out the night
Oh, pull up the blankets
Pull the blankets up tight
And there are angels on our curtains
They keep the outside out
And there are lions on our curtains
They lick their wounds
They lick their doubt
@SONG: IN YOUR EYES (SPECIAL MIX)
Accepting all I've done and said
I want to stand and stare again
Til there's nothing left out, oh
It remains in your eyes
Whatever comes and goes
I will hear silent call
I will touch this tender wall
Til I know I'm home again
Ooh
In your eyes (in your eyes)
In your eyes (in your eyes)
In your eyes (in your eyes)
In your eyes
And all my instincts, they return
And the grand façade, so soon will burn
Without a noise, without my pride
I reach out from the inside
In your eyes
In your eyes
In your eyes
In your eyes
The light, the heat (in your eyes)
In your eyes
I am complete (in your eyes)
In your eyes
I see the doorway to a thousand churches (in your eyes)
The resolution (in your eyes) of all the fruitless searches (in your eyes)
Oh I see the light and the heat (in your eyes in your eyes)
Oh, I wanna be that complete (in your eyes)
I wanna touch the light, the heat I see in your eyes
(In your eyes)
(In your eyes)
(In your eyes)
(In your eyes)
(In your eyes)
(In your eyes)
In your eyes
Accepting all I've done and said
I want to stand and stare again
Til there's nothing left out, oh
It remains in your eyes
Whatever comes and goes
Oh it's in your eyes
In your eyes
In your eyes
In your eyes
@SONG: SHAKING THE TREE
We are shaking the tree...
Waiting your time, dreaming of a better life
Waiting your time, you're more than just a wife
You don't want to do what your mother has done
She has done
This is your life, this new life has begun
It's your day - a woman's day
It's your day - a woman's day
Turning the tide, you are on the incoming wave
Turning the tide, you know you are nobody's slave
Find your sisters and brothers who can hear all the truth
In what you say
They can support you when you're on your way
It's your day - a woman's day
It's your day - a woman's day
We are shaking the tree...
Changing your ways, changing those surrounding you
Changing your ways, more than any man can do
Open your heart, show him the anger and pain
So you heal
Maybe he's looking for his womanly side
And you feel you had to be so strong
And you do nothing wrong, nothing wrong at all
We're gonna to break it down
We have to shake it down, shake it all around
We are shaking the tree...
@SONG: QUIET STEAM
Stand back
Stand back
What are those dogs doing, sniffing at my feet
They're onto something, pickin' up, pickin' up
This heat
This heat
Give me steam
How you feel can make it real
Get a life with this dreamer's dream
Oh, give me steam
Real as anything you see
Get a life in this dreamer's dream
You know your culture from your trash
You know your plastic from your cash
When I lose sight of the track
You know the way back
But I know you
You know your stripper from your paint
You know your sinner from your saint
Whenever heaven's doors are shut
You get them open, but
I know you
Give me steam
And how you feel can make it real
Get a life in this dreamer's dream
Oh, give me steam
Real as anything you see
Get a life in this dreamer's dream
You know your green from your red
You know the quick from the dead
So much better than the rest
You think you've been blessed
But I know you
You know your ladder from your snake
You know the throttle from the brake
You know your straight line from the curve
You've got a lot of nerve
But I know you
Give me steam
And how you feel can make it real
Get a life in this dreamer's dream
Oh, give me steam
Real as any place you've been
Get a life with this dreamer's dream
Oh yeah, I need steam
Feel your steam around me
Turning up the heat
I start to dream aloud
You move my hands and feet
Won't you step into this cloud
Of steam
This steam
Give me steam
How you feel can make it real
Real as anything you've seen
Get a life with this dreamer's dream
Give me steam
How you feel can make it so real
Get a life in this dreamer's dream
Help me yeah
Comin' alive
In your steam
Comin' alive
In your steam
Comin' alive
