Deepest Red (3:19)
Written by: J. Farriss & M. Hutchence

Judas kiss
Kiss of betrayal
I will not let it break me
Elation
You come my way come my way
Oh baby oh baby
I will not let it break me

Here you come
My heart breaking
I'm in love
For you and more

This young man
Got a long way to go
Got some thorns
Stuck in his side

Here you come
Heart breaking
I'm in love
For you and more

Here you come
Heart breaking
I'm in love
For you and more

Judas kiss
Kiss of betrayal
I will not let it break me

Here you come
My heart breaking
I'm in love
For you and more

You come my way
Elation

You come my way
Elation

You come my way
Elation

Here you come
My heart breaking
I'm in love
For you and more


Different World

Lookin' For The Answer
(Well) You've Got To Start Somewhere
Sooner Or Later
Well You've Got To Show Something

I Wasn't Feeling Too Good
And This Is All I Have
Don't You Take It From Me
The Future's Uncertain
But I Feel No Pain

(chorus)
It's A Different World
But The Heat's The Same
Hello, New York City
Do You Know My Name (Know My Name)

The Losers Are Leading
What More Could I Ask For
Well Buddy, There's Something
One Day I Might Get There

Out Of The Red
And Into The Blue
You Know There's Something, Buddy
Deep Inside You

And (Now) I'm Doin' So Well
Look At All I Have
Would You Take It From Me
The Future's Uncertain
But I Feel No Pain

It's A Different World
But The Heat's The Same
Hello, New York City
(Yeah) You Know My Name (Know My Name)

It's A Different Jungle
But The Heat's The Same
Hello, New York City
Yeah, You Know My Name, Know My Name

Lookin' For The Answer
(Well) You've Got To Start Somewhere
Sooner Or Later
Well You've Got To Show Something

Out Of The Red
And Into The Blue
Anywhere You Go, Buddy
Deep Inside You

And (Now) I'm Doin' So Well
Look At All I Have
Would You Take It From Me
The Future's Uncertain
But I Feel No Pain

It's A Different World
But The Heat's The Same
Hello, New York City
(Yeah) You Know My Name (Know My Name)

It's A Different Jungle
But The Heat's The Same
Hello, New York City
Yeah, You Know My Name, Know My Name


Do Wot You Do

In a reflection of days gone by
I stayed awake all last night
When morning came, I was still unsure
To laugh or cry, I'm needin' more

And it's not easy to take the time
From all we need, we cannot hide
We live our dreams and all we find
Is bittersweet and full of pride

(chorus)
Ooh what have we done
Lift it up, lift a stone
I need every minute with you
No one else can do what'cha do what'cha
I need every minute with you
No one else can do what'cha do what'cha

In a reflection of days gone by
I stayed awake all last night
When morning came, I was still unsure
To laugh or cry, I'm needin' mor

Ooh what have we done
Lift it up, lift a stone
I need every minute with you
No one else can do what'cha do what'cha
I need every minute with you
No one else can do what'cha do what'cha

Ooh what have we done
Lift it up, lift a stone
I need every minute with you
No one else can do what'cha do what'cha
I need every minute with you
No one else can do what'cha do what'cha


Firma Terror (3:05)
Written by Garry Gary Beers

Here on terra firma
The violence is spreading
The walls are collapsing
Into your back yards

Here on terra firma
The fires are raging
The riots up staging
To prove a point to none
Here on terra firma
The fear is choking
The life out of each and every one

Here on terra firma
Where TV is King
Where a black man with the same name
Had a televised beating

It's not too late
Yeah it's never too late
To heal these wounds
That are fatal to the end
To understand our sins
To make amends

See 'em down in hell
Must turn back the tide
This hatred must be stopped
Let's throw our arms out wide
And the dead are breaking in
When your world comes to an end
Will you say you did all could
And then just hang your head

Why not believe
In the good of man
Not bricks and burn
Take all that you can
To love your fellow man
With all of your heart
As you would yourself
We must try not to stand above
And hate you go to hell
Put love in your heart
God is not some TV show
Our life is not some part
Try to believe
That only good will come
If you give not to receive
That is kingdom come

Here on terra firma
The violence is spreading
Spread to your back yard

Here in firma terror
Leads to hatred and unrest
Not only can we beat it
No, that would be best


Keep The Peace

Should you fall into my arms again,
You know I'll pray with you,
(You know I'll pray with you...)
In my room at night, your vision shining bright,
I'm waiting for you,
(I'll be waiting for you...)

Dancing in the light,
Shadows fall from you,
Learn to watch your step - You come falling
In my arms again, in my heart again,
You will break like a butterfly

Keep the peace for what you're talking,
"Keep the Peace, Keep the Peace"
Walk of fame is where you're walking,
"Keep the Peace, Keep the Peace"

Keep a hold of what you're taking,
Even though the walls are shaking,
Keep the peace there's still tomorrow,
"Keep the Peace"

When you break into my arms again,
You know I'll stay with you,
(You know I'll stay with you...)
Now you're holding on, I'll be with you tonight,
I'll watch over you,
(Yeah, I'm watching over you...)

On the street inside, see the blinding light,
Am I dreaming - you come falling,
In my arms again, in my heart again,
You will break like a butterfly

Keep the peace, the walls are talking,
"Keep the Peace, Keep the Peace"
Walk of fame is where you're walking,
"Keep the Peace, Keep the Peace"
"Keep the Peace, Keep the Peace"

"Keep the Peace"
Keep a hold of what you're taking,
Even though the walls are shaking,
"Keep the Peace, Keep the Peace"

Light the Planet (2:50)
Written by Kirk Pengilly

Oh yeah
Light it up

There's no love where
There's no life
Where it's dark
And we fuss and fight
We've gotta lighten up
We've gotta open up
Everybody
Gotta light the world up

Any man
Ain't that bad
Neither is
Being sad
We gotta let it out
Scream and shout
Letting go is
What it's all about

Well it's time to give
Be positive
Open up
Then you can live
Just check your motive
Make sure it's positive
In everything you do
There must be love

Gotta light it up
Light that world
Oh yeah

Here's the score
No more war
Just lots of love with
Open doors
To a higher realm
Where hate is sensitive
Remember open up and
Love one and all
You know what I'm talkin' about
Just gotta lighten up

Move On

Hey, Shake It, Shake It, Shake It
There's A Monkey On My Back
Been There Much Too Long
Every Time I Kick It Off
Another One Comes Along

I Used To Be In Another World
I Used To Be Alone
It's So Hard To Be Yourself
When You Feel Like Something's Wrong

(chorus)
There Are No Words That Could Explain
You Gotta Move On
The Strongest Love In Vain
There Are No Words That Could Explain
Oh You Gotta Move On
The Strongest Love In Vain

She Said, "I've Had Enough Of Your Lies
Can't Wait For Anyone
The Beginning Of The End
Don't You Know That's All Wrong
When You Said Nothing Changes
You Meant To Say It Won't Take Long"

I Used To Be In Another World
I Used To Be Alone
It's So Hard To Be Yourself
When You Feel Like Something's Wrong
Move On

There Are No Words That Could Explain
You Gotta Move On
The Strongest Love In Vain
There Are No Words That Could Explain
I Said Move, You Gotta Move On
The Strongest Love In Vain

There Are No Words That Could Explain
You Gotta Move On
The Strongest Love In Vain
There Are No Words That Could Explain
Oh You Gotta Move On
The Strongest Love In Vain
Move It,
Move On

There's A Question In My Head
Been There All Night Long
Well I Toss And Turn Inside My Head
But I Won't Let It Tear Me Down

Yeah, Used To Be In Another World
I Used To Be Alone, Yeah

There Are No Words That Could Explain
The Strongest Love In Vain
Oh You Gotta Move On
There Are No Words That Could Explain
You Gotta Move On
The Strongest Love In Vain
There Are No Words That Could Explain
Oh You Gotta Move On
The Strongest Love In Vain

Had Enough, Oh, Gotta Move On, Yeah
There Are No Words That Could Explain
The Strongest Love In Vain


Red Hill
From the "One Voice / The Songs on Chage & Aska" soundtrack

Is there anyone?
Is there anyone?
Is there anyone?

Oh I wonder if I'm walking
Or if I'm falling into a dream
There's a red hill in the distance
Now it's rising in my mind, it's rising in my mind

Was it a sunset that I remember
Or a vision of my future
Where am I now deep in the valley
Or am I back inside, back inside my room

Red hill where the air is still
Is it watching me
Can it see I will not climb
If this is a dream, please let it continue
If I ran for the hill
Who would be there for me standing on this perfect land

Is there anyone?
Is there anyone?
Why don't you tell me
Which way to be
Give me pain or security
Oh this read hill has all the mystery
It's full of quiet hope and unknown destiny

My love I say this is loneliness
Like a cold dream yet it chills me
Time goes painfully
Then it disappears
With a touch of warmth or lasting grace

Red hill where the air is still
Watching over me can it see I will not climb
It makes me feel uneasy in the valley of my sleep
If I fall down
Will the hands that reach out be my friend or foe?

Red hill where the air is still
Watching over me can it see I will not climb

Red hill where the air is still
Watching over me can it see I will not climb

Red hill where the air is still
Watching over me can it see I will not climb


Rooms For The Memory
From the "Dogs In Space" soundtrack

Be There
There's a corner to this room
Where there's nothing left to remember
There's time the clocks on the wall
But there's nothing left to remember
A thought or two lingers on
In memorium the plaques on the wall and time stands still
Rooms for the memory
Rooms for the memory
Rooms for the memory
Rooms for the memory

There's time the clocks on the wall
But time stands still remember
There's nothing left at all
But time stands still remember
A thought or two lingers on
In memorium the plaques on the wall and time stands still
Rooms for the memory
Rooms for the memory
Rooms for the memory
Rooms for the memory

There's a corner to this room
A telephone, a chair, a memory
But there's nothing left to this gloom
When time stands still remember
A thought or two lingers on
In memorium the plaques on the wall and time stands still
Rooms for the memory
Rooms for the memory
Rooms for the memory
Rooms for the memory

Remember
Remember
Remember
Remember
Rooms for the Memory
Remember
Remember
