    A SORT OF HOMECOMING

    And you know it's time to go
    Through the sleet and driving snow
    Across the fields of mourning
    Light in the distance

    And you hunger for the time
    Time to heal, desire, time
    And your earth moves beneath
    Your own dream landscape

    Oh, oh, oh...
    On borderland we run...

    I'll be there
    I'll be there...
    Tonight
    A high road
    A high road out from here

    The city walls are all come down
    The dust, a smoke screen all around
    See faces ploughed like fields that once
    Gave no resistance

    And we live by the side of the road
    On the side of a hill
    As the valley explode
    Dislocated, suffocated
    The land grows weary of its own

    Oh, oh, oh...on borderland we run...
    And still we run
    We run and don't look back
    I'll be there
    I'll be there
    Tonight
    Tonight

    I'll be there tonight...I believe
    I'll be there...somehow
    I'll be there...tonight
    Tonight

    The wind will crack in winter time
    This bomb-blast lightning waltz
    No spoken words, just a scream...

    Tonight we'll build a bridge
    Across the sea and land
    See the sky, the burning rain
    She will die and live again
    Tonight

    And your heart beats so slow
    Through the rain and fallen snow
    Across the fields of mourning
    Light's in the distance

    Oh don't sorrow, no don't weep
    For tonight, at last
    I am coming home
    I am coming home



    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 fourth
    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...



    WIRE

    . Innocent, and in a sense I am
    Guilty of the crime that's now in hand
    Such a nice day
    Throw your life away
    Such a nice day
    Let it go

    Cold these eyes, I can't believe it
    Cold, this heart is slow
    Heart is slow

    Call me
    Such a cold heart
    Such a cold man
    Watch you tear your self apart

    So lay me down
    My soul to give
    So lay me down
    The longest sleep
    Oh, the longest sleep

    In I come and out you go you get
    Here we are again now, place your bets
    Is this the time
    The time to win or lose
    Is this the time
    The time to choose

    Cold these eyes, I can't believe it
    So deep inside a cold fire
    Cold, this heart is slow...

    Any time your on there
    (Kiss me...)
    Won't you do it now
    That's right, just keep me going

    In some white track
    You come the right track
    Cartoon cutout
    Cut throat let out
    I'm on your side
    Be on the both side
    I'm alright Jack
    You get off my back
    I'm no dope
    I give you hope
    Here's the rope
    Here's the rope
    Now...swing away

    THE UNFORGETTABLE FIRE

    Ice
    Your only rivers run cold
    These city lights
    They shine as silver and gold
    Dug from the night
    Your eyes as black as coal

    Walk on by
    Walk on through
    Walk 'til you run
    And don't look back
    For here I am

    Carnival
    The wheels fly and the colors spin
    Through alcohol
    Red wine that punctures the skin
    Face to face
    In a dry and waterless place

    Walk on by
    Walk on through
    So sad to beseige your love so head on
    Stay this time
    Stay tonight in a lie
    I'm only asking but I...
    I think you know
    Come on take me away
    Come on take me away
    Come on take me home
    Home again
    And if the mountain should crumble
    Or disappear into the sea
    Not a tear, no not I

    Stay in this time
    Stay tonight in...
    Ever after, this love in time
    And if you save your love
    Save it all

    Don't push me too far
    Don't push me too far
    Tonight
    Tonight
    Tonight...



    PROMENADE

    Earth sky sea and rain
    Is she coming back again
    Men of straw, snooker hall
    Words that build or destroy
    Dirt dry bone sand and stone
    Barbed-wire fence cut me down
    I'd like to be around
    In a spiral staircase
    To the higher ground

    And I, like a firework, explode
    Roman candle lightning lights up the sky

    In the cracked streets trampled under foot
    Sidestep, sidewalk
    I see you stare into space
    Have I got closer now
    Behind the face

    Oh...tell me...
    Charity dance with me
    Turn me around tonight
    Up through spiral staircase
    To the higher ground

    Slide show sea side town
    Coca-cola football radio radio radio...

    4TH OF JULY

    (Instrumental)



    BAD

    If you twist and turn away
    If you tear yourself in two again
    If I could, yes I would
    If I could, I would
    Let it go
    Surrender
    Dislocate

    If I could throw this
    Lifeless lifeline to the wind
    Leave this heart of clay
    See you walk, walk away
    Into the night
    And through the rain
    Into the half-light
    And through the flame

    If I could through myself
    Set your spirit free
    I'd lead your heart away
    See you break, break away
    Into the light
    And to the day

    To let it go
    And so to fade away
    To let it go
    And so fade away

    I'm wide awake
    I'm wide awake
    Wide awake
    I'm not sleeping
    Oh, no, no, no

    If you should ask then maybe they'd
    Tell you what I would say
    True colors fly in blue and black
    Bruised silken sky and burning flag
    Colors crash, collide in blood shot eyes

    If I could, you know I would
    If I could, I would
    Let it go...

    This desperation
    Dislocation
    Separation
    Condemnation
    Revelation
    In temptation
    Isolation
    Desolation
    Let it go

    And so fade away
    To let it go
    And so fade away
    To let it go
    And so to fade away

    I'm wide awake
    I'm wide awake
    Wide awake
    I'm not sleeping
    Oh, no, no, no

    INDIAN SUMMER SKY

    In the ocean
    Cut, swim, deep the sky
    Like there, I don't know why
    In the forest, there's a clearing
    I run there towards the light
    Sky...
    It's a blue sky

    In the earth a hole dig deep, decide
    If I could, I would
    Up for air to swim against the tide
    Hey, hey, hey
    Up toward the sky
    It's a blue sky

    To lose along the way
    The spark that set the flame
    To flicker and to fade
    On this the longest day

    So wind blow through to my heart
    So wind blow through my soul
    So wind blow through to my heart
    So wind blow through my soul
    So wind blow through to my heart...

    You give yourself to this the longest day
    You give yourself, you give it all away

    Two rivers run too deep
    The seasons change and so do I
    The light that strikes the tallest trees
    The light that waits for I
    The light...waiting
    Up toward the sky
    It's a blue sky

    To lose along the way
    The spark that set the flame
    To flicker and to fade
    On this the longest day

    So wind go through to my heart
    So wind blow through my soul
    So wind go through to my heart
    So wind blow through my soul
    So wind go through to my heart
    So wind blow through my soul
    So wind go through to my heart...

    You give yourself to this the longest day
    You give yourself, you give it all away



    ELVIS PRESLEY AND AMERICA

    (Black flash)
    Black flash over my own love
    Tell me of my eyes
    Black flash come though my own life
    Telling these things
    And I believe them
    And I believe in you

    White flash sees the sky
    And it turns its side from you
    She won't turn my back
    And I know you turn so blue
    And you know
    And your sky is feeling blue
    And your heart
    So cold when I'm with you
    And you feel
    Like no one told you to
    And your time is your side
    And your time with me
    Ah, don't talk to me
    Ah, don't talk to me
    Don't talk to me

    You know
    Like no one told you how
    But you know
    Though the king that howls has howled
    But you feel like sentimental
    But you don't care
    If I just share it in your heart
    (Heart...)

    Hopelessly
    So hopelessly
    I'm breaking through for you and me
    And you don't
    Though no one told you to
    And you found out
    Where you were going, where to
    You're through with me
    But I know that you will be back
    For more

    And you know
    And though no one told you so
    And you know, blue sky
    Like a harder shade of blue
    And you walk
    When you want
    To let go
    Me, I'm the outside, tell me fade away
    Drop me down but don't break me
    In your sleep

    In your sleep, inside
    It's in your heart and mine
    Whole sea is dark
    It's in your heart and mine

    Sweetly, those will come
    Loving is on your side walking through
    So let me in your heart
    Your beat is like something...

    They...
    Run...
    See say you're sad and reach by
    So say you're sad above beside
    Oh stay sad above beside
    So stay sad above we said

    You know I don't
    No one told you how
    (And you don't)
    (And you wipe sweat off your white brow)
    And you care
    And no one told you tried
    And your heart
    Is left out from the side

    And the rain beats down
    And the shame goes down
    And this rain keeps on coming down
    And this sky
    Tonight...

    You know "S" "O" "N" "G", why
    You're going go join to God
    You know "S" "O" "N" "G", why
    Give away some him no lie
    Give away some my de day no

    You know
    And though no one told you sky
    And you feel
    Like you pretend you can
    You say go, you live
    Go live outside of me
    Don't you leave
    Don't leave out part of me
    Then I can feel
    Like I feel before
    Like I hurt now
    And I see the floor
    If you pick me up
    Bits and pieces on this floor

    MLK

    Sleep
    Sleep tonight
    And may your dreams
    Be realized
    If the thunder cloud
    Passes rain
    So let it rain
    Rain down on him
    So let it be
    So let it be

    Sleep
    Sleep tonight
    And may your dreams
    Be realized
    If the thundercloud
    Passes rain
    So let it rain
    Let it rain
    Rain on him
