    HELTER SKELTER

    When you get to the bottom
    You go back to the top of the slide
    And you stop and you turn
    And you go for a ride
    Then you get to the bottom
    Then you see me again

    Do you, don't you want me to love you
    I'm coming down fast, I'm right here above you
    Tell me, tell me, tell me the answer
    I ain't no lover but you ain't no dancer

    Helter skelter
    Helter skelter
    Helter skelter

    Do you, don't you want me to make you
    I'm coming down fast now don't let me break you
    Tell me, tell me, tell me the answer
    You ain't no lover but you ain't no dancer

    Helter skelter
    Helter skelter
    Helter skelter

    When you get to the bottom
    You go back to the top of the slide
    And you turn and you stop
    And you go for a ride
    Then you get to the bottom
    Then you see me again

    Do you, don't you want me to love you
    I'm coming down fast I'm right here above you
    Tell me, tell me, tell me the answer
    Ain't no lover but you ain't no dancer

    Helter skelter
    Helter skelter
    Helter skelter



    VAN DIEMEN'S LAND

    Hold me now, oh hold me now
    'Til this hour has gone around
    And I'm gone on the rising tide
    For to face Van Diemen's land

    It's a bitter pill I swallow here
    To be rent from one so dear
    We fought for justice and not for gain
    But the magistrate sent me away

    Now kings will rule and the poor will toil
    And tear their hands as they tear the soil
    But a day will come in this dawning age
    When an honest man sees an honest wage

    Hold me now, oh hold me now
    'Til this hour has gone around
    And I'm gone on the rising tide
    For to face Van Diemen's land

    DESIRE

    Yeah

    Lover, I'm on the street
    Gonna go where the bright lights
    And the big city meet
    With a red guitar on fire
    Desire

    She's a candle burning in my room
    Yeah 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

    And the fever getting higher
    Desire, desire
    Burning, burning

    She's the dollars
    She's my protection
    Yeah she's a promise
    In the year of election
    Oh sister, I can't let you go
    Like a preacher stealing hearts
    In a traveling show
    For love or money, money, money
    Money, money, money, money, money
    Money, money, money
    And the fever, getting higher
    Desire, desire, desire, desire
    Desire, desire

    HAWKMOON 269

    Like a desert needs rain
    Like a town needs a name
    I need your love

    Like a drifter needs a room
    Hawkmoon, I need your love
    I need your love

    Like a rhythm unbroken
    Like drums in the night
    Like sweet soul music
    Like sunlight, I need your love

    Like coming home
    And you don't know where you've been
    Like black coffee
    Like nicotine
    I need your love (I need your love)
    I need your love (I need your love)
    I need your love (I need your love)

    When the night has no end
    And the day yet to begin
    As the room spins around
    I need your love
    I need your love

    Like a Phoenix rising needs a holy tree
    Like the sweet revenge of a bitter enemy
    I need your love

    Like the hot needs the sun
    Like honey on her tongue
    Like the muzzle of a gun
    Like oxygen
    I need your love (I need your love)
    I need your love (I need your love)
    I need your love (I need your love)

    When the night has no end
    And the day yet to begin
    As the room spins around
    I need your love

    I need your love

    Like thunder needs rain
    Like a preacher needs pain
    Like tongues of flame
    Like a sheet stained
    I need your love
    I need your love

    Like a needle in a vein
    Like someone to blame
    Like a thought unchained
    Like a runaway train
    I need your love

    I need your love

    Like faith needs a doubt
    Like a freeway out
    I need your love

    Like powder needs a spark
    Like lies need the dark
    I need your love



    ALL ALONG THE WATCHTOWER

    There must be some way out of here
    Said the joker to the thief
    There's too much confusion here
    I can't get no relief
    Businessmen, they drink my wine
    Plowmen dig my earth
    None of them know along the line
    What any of this is worth

    No reason to get excited
    The thief, he kindly spoke
    There are many here among us
    Who think that life is but a joke
    But you and I, we've been through that
    And that is not our fate
    So let us not talk falsely now
    Because the hour is getting late

    All along the watchtower
    Princes kept the view
    While horsemen came and went
    Barefoot servants, too

    All I got is a red guitar
    Three chords and the truth
    All I got is a red guitar
    The rest is up to you

    There's no reason to get excited
    The thief, he kindly spoke
    There are some among us here
    Who say that life is just a joke
    You and I, we've been through that
    And that is not our fate (at least today)
    So let us not talk falsely now
    Because the hour is getting late



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

    V I have climbed the 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
    And all my shame
    All my shame
    You know I believe 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



    FREEDOM FOR MY PEOPLE

    I need some freedom
    Freedom for my people
    I want some freedom
    Freedom
    Freedom, freedom for my people
    I'd like some freedom
    I need some freedom for my people
    Freedom
    Freedom, freedom for my people



    SILVER AND GOLD

    In the shithouse a shotgun
    Praying hands hold me down
    Only the hunter was hunted
    In this tin can town
    Tin can town

    No stars in the black night
    Looks like the sky fell down
    No sun in the daylight
    Looks like it's chained to the ground
    Chained to the ground
    The warden said
    The exit is sold
    If you want a way out
    Silver and gold

    Broken back to the ceiling
    Broken nose to the floor
    I scream at the silence, it's crawling
    It crawls under the door
    There's a rope around my neck
    And there's a trigger in your gun
    Jesus say something
    I am someone, I am someone
    I am someone

    Captain and kings in the ships hold
    They came to collect silver and gold
    Silver and gold

    See the coming and going
    See them captains and the kings
    See them navy blue uniforms
    See them bright and shiny things
    Bright, shiny things

    The temperature is rising
    The fever white hot
    Mister, I ain't got nothing
    But it's more than you got
    Chains no longer bind me
    Not the shackles at my feet
    Outside are the prisoners
    Inside the free
    Set them free
    Set them free

    A prize fighter in a corner is told
    Hit where it hurts, silver and gold
    Silver and gold



    PRIDE (IN THE NAME OF LOVE)

    One man come in the name of love
    One man come and go
    One man come, he to justify
    One man to overthrow

    In the name of love
    What more in the name of love
    In the name of love
    What more in the name of love

    One man caught on a barbed wire fence
    One man he resist
    One man washed on an empty beach.
    One man betrayed with a kiss

    In the name of love
    What more in the name of love
    In the name of love
    What more in the name of love

    Early morning, April 4
    Shot rings out in the Memphis sky
    Free at last, they took your life
    They could not take your pride

    In the name of love
    What more in the name of love
    In the name of love
    What more in the name of love
    In the name of love
    What more in the name of love...



    ANGEL OF HARLEM

    It was a cold and wet December day
    When we touched the ground at JFK
    Snow was melting on the ground
    On BLS I heard the sound
    Of an angel

    New York, like a Christmas tree
    Tonight this city belongs to me
    Angel

    Soul love...this love won't let me go
    So long...angel of Harlem

    Birdland on fifty-three
    The street sounds like a symphony
    We got John Coltrane and a love supreme
    Miles, and she's got 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
    Angel of Harlem

    She says it's heart...heart and soul...
    Yeah yeah...(yeah)
    Yeah yeah...(right now)

    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
    Through the side streets and the alleyway
    Like a star exploding in the night
    Falling to the city in broad daylight
    An angel in Devil's shoes
    Salvation in the blues
    You never looked like an angel
    Yeah yeah...angel of Harlem

    Angel...angel of Harlem...



    LOVE RESCUE ME

    Love rescue me
    Come forth and speak to me
    Raise me up and don't let me fall
    No man is my enemy
    My own hands imprison me
    Love rescue me

    Many strangers have I met
    On the road to my regret
    Many lost who seek to find themselves in me
    They ask me to reveal
    The very thoughts they would conceal
    Love rescue me

    And the sun in the sky
    Makes a shadow of you and I
    Stretching out as the sun sinks in the sea
    I'm here without a name
    In the palace of my shame
    Said, love rescue me

    In the cold mirror of a glass
    I see my reflection pass
    See the dark shades of what I used to be
    See the purple of her eyes
    The scarlet of my lies
    Love rescue me

    Yea, though I walk
    In the valley of shadow
    Yea, I will fear no evil
    I have cursed thy rod and staff
    They no longer comfort me
    Love rescue me

    Sha la la...sha la la la
    Sha la la la...ha la la...
    Sha la la la...sha la la la
    Sha la la la...sha la la
    Sha la la la...sha la la la
    Sha la la...
    I said love, love rescue me

    I said love
    Climb up the moutains, said love
    I said love, oh my love
    On the hill of the son
    I'm on the eve of a storm
    And my word you must believe in
    Oh, I said love, rescue me
    Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah...

    Yeah I'm here without a name
    In the palace of my shame
    I said love rescue me

    I've conquered my past
    The future is here at last
    I stand at the entrance
    To a new world I can see
    The ruins to the right of me
    Will soon have lost sight of me
    Love rescue me



    WHEN LOVE COMES TO TOWN

    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
    Now I stand accused of the things I've said

    Love comes to town I'm gonna jump that train
    When love comes to town I'm gonna 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, I was dazing in a dream
    As the music played I saw my life turn around
    That was the day before love came to town

    When love comes to town I'm gonna jump that train
    When love comes to town I'm gonna catch that flame
    Maybe I was wrong to ever let you down
    But I did what I did before 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'm gonna catch that train
    When love comes to town I'm gonna catch that flame
    Maybe I was wrong to ever let you down
    But I did what I did before love came to town



    HEARTLAND

    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
    Now I stand accused of the things I've said

    Love comes to town I'm gonna jump that train
    When love comes to town I'm gonna 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, I was dazing in a dream
    As the music played I saw my life turn around
    That was the day before love came to town

    When love comes to town I'm gonna jump that train
    When love comes to town I'm gonna catch that flame
    Maybe I was wrong to ever let you down
    But I did what I did before 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'm gonna catch that train
    When love comes to town I'm gonna catch that flame
    Maybe I was wrong to ever let you down
    But I did what I did before love came to town



    GOD PART II

    Don't believe the devil
    I don't believe his book
    But the truth is not the same
    Without the lies he made up

    Don't believe in excess
    Success is to give
    Don't believe in riches
    But you should see where I live
    I...I believe in love

    Don't believe in forced entry
    Don't believe in rape
    But every time she passes by
    Wild thoughts escape
    I don't believe in death row
    Skid row or the gangs
    Don't believe in the Uzi
    It just went off in my hand
    I...I believe in love

    Don't believe in cocaine
    Got a speed-ball in my head
    I could cut and crack you open
    Do you hear what I said
    Don't believe them when they tell me
    There ain't no cure
    The rich stay healthy
    The sick stay poor
    I...I believe in love

    Don't believe in Goldman
    His type like a curse
    Instant karma's going to get him
    If I don't get him first
    Don't believe in rock 'n' roll
    Can really change the world
    As it spins in revolution
    It spirals and turns
    I...I believe in love

    Don't believe in the 60's
    The golden age of pop
    You glorify the past
    When the future dries up
    Heard a singer on the radio late last night
    He says he's gonna kick the darkness
    'til it bleeds daylight
    I...I believe in love

    I feel like I'm falling
    Like I'm spinning on a wheel
    It always stops beside of me
    With a presence I can feel
    I...I believe in love



    THE STAR SPANGLED BANNER

    (Instrumental)



    BULLET THE BLUE SKY

    In the howling wind comes a stinging rain
    See it driving nails into the souls on the tree of pain
    From the firefly, a red orange glow
    See the face of fear running scared in the valley below

    Bullet the blue sky
    Bullet the blue sky
    Bullet the blue
    Bullet the blue

    In the locust wind comes a rattle and hum
    Jacob wrestled the angel
    And the angel was overcome
    You plant a demon seed
    You raise a flower of fire
    See them burning crosses
    See the flames higher and higher

    Bullet the blue sky
    Bullet the blue sky
    Bullet the blue
    Bullet the blue

    This guy comes up to me
    His face red like a rose on a thorn bush
    Like all the colors of a royal flush
    And he's peeling off those dollar bills
    Slapping them down
    One hundred, two hundred
    And I can see those fighter planes
    And I can see those fighter planes
    Across the mud huts where the children sleep
    Through the alleys of a quiet city street
    You take the staircase to the first floor
    Turn the key and slowly unlock the door
    A man breathes into a saxophone
    And through the walls you hear the city groan
    Outside is America
    Outside is America

    Across the field you see the sky ripped open
    See the rain through a gaping wound
    Pelting the women and children
    Who run into the arms of America



    ALL I WANT IS YOU

    You say you want
    Diamonds on a ring of gold
    You say you want
    Your story to remain untold

    But all the promises we make
    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 in a moon of blindness
    A river in a time of dryness
    A harbour in the tempest
    But 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
    Diamonds 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

    You...all I want is...
    You...all I want is...
    You...all I want is...
    You...
