| Lend Your Love To Me Tonight Lend your love to me tonight Don't ask me who or what is right I have no strength I cannot fight Just flood my darkness with your light I need no face I need no name No martyr's artifical shame No crucifix I am no lame And yet I ache to feel the flame Arrest the sun and shoot the moon The lamp of laughter dies to soon To live reflected in a spoon Makes it too hard to stay in tune Believe me. Unlock the door and unbar the gate I'll write I love you on the slate And while St.Peter's thieves debate The price of time I will not wait Or let the star blind road of fate Confuse me, abuse me,misuse me Release my soul release my eyes A clock unwinds a flower dies Dishonesty disqualifies You win the race but lose the prize A tattered cloak behind the throne It is unseen it is not known Behind this face I am alone I would give everything I own To touch you Just lend your love to me once more Don't ask me what I came back for Just watch the moonlight cross the floor And as your blood begins to roar You'll feel your senses spin and soar You will become my meteor Divine and universal whore Complete me |
C'est La Vie C'est la vie Have your leaves all turned to brown Will you scatter them around you C'est la vie Do you love And then how am I to know If you don't let your love show for me C'est la vie Oh c'est la vie Oh c'est la vie Who knows, who cares,for me C'est la vie In the night Do you light a lover's fire Do the ashes of desire for you remain Like the sea There's a love to deep to show Took a storm before my love flowed for you C'est la vie Oh c'est la vie Oh c'est la vie Who knows, who cares, for me C'est la vie Like a song Out of tune and out of time All I needed was a ryhme for you C'est la vie Do you give Do you live from day to day Is there no song I can play for you C'est la vie Oh c'est la vie Oh c'est la vie Who knows, who cares, for me C'est la vie |
| Hallowed Be Thy Name There may be an om in moment But there's very few folk in focus Not the first, not the last, not the least. You needn't be well to be wealthy But you've got to be whole to be holy Fetch the rope, fetch the clock, fetch the priest. Oh this planet of ours is a mess I bet Heaven's the same Look the madman says "Son, As a friend, tell me what's in a name," Hallowed by thy name. I give you the state of statesmen And the key to what motivatesthem On the left, on the right, on the nail. Still I don't see a man in a mansion That an accurate pen won't puncture Go to town, go to hell, go to jail. And there's bars and saloons Where the jukebox plays blues in the night Till the madman says "Son, Time to go we could both use some light." And thy will be done. We live in an age of cages The tale of an ape escaping In the search of some truth he can use But many a drunk got drunker And mostly a thinker, thunker Set the place, set the time, set the fuse, The optimist laughed and the pessimist Cried in his wine And the madman said "Son, Take a word they'll all wake given time" Let thy kingdom come. The madman and I got drunker Till both thought the other thank you And we laughed all the way to the stars The optimist asked for a taste of the Pessimist's wine And the madman said "Son, How you feel?" I said "Me? I feel fine Lead me into temptation into temptation I said into temptation I need my allocation of recreation I want a revelation in degradation No hesitation, give me variation, give me inspiration..." |
Nobody Loves You Like I Do You can rent your blues and photograh your soul You can even dig some diamonds Out of rock 'n roll You can change the world But if you lose control They will take away your T-shirt And when you lose your reason And there's no release You can buy seclusion but you can't buy peace You got everything but the golden fleece And a shepherd for your sadness Now I don't expect you sympathie This is what and where I want to be For as long as my blood runs Love comes and goes, God knows Nobody loves you like I do No no no nobody loves you like I do It comes on unrelentless I've tried so hard to prevent this But nobody loves you like I do There are highway dream in my head tonight I can't breathe without you and I'm losing height I don't need a periscope or second sight To see nothing lasts forever With a planet stare and a guiding star You can only be what you think you are If I didn't approve it remove it I'm coming through Oh nobody loves you like I do And I'm dirty, mean and unworthy This is true But if somebody says it loves you From all sides out here above you Believe me nobody loves you like I do For you know I will love you sweet and strong I will love you full, I will love you long I will love you right even better wrong - Tonight, tonight Nobody loves you like I do I can't make it or, or shake it or breake it without you And if you pause at my insistence I'll be yours from any distance So you see, nobody loves you like I do Nobody loves you like I do I said nobody loves you like I do It comes all unrelentless I've tried so hard to prevent this But nobody loves you like I do I said nobody loves you I said nobody loves you I said nobody loves you like I do... |
| Closer To Believing I am closer to believing Than I ever was before On the crest of this elation Must I crash upon the shore And with the driftwood of acquaintance Light the fire to love once more I am wind blown...I am times. To be closer to believing To be just a breath away On the death of inspiration I would buy back yesterday But there's no crueller illusion There's no sharper coin to pay As I reach out... It slips away From the opium of custom to the ledges of extremes Don't believe it till you've held it Life is seldom what it seems But lay your heart upon the table And in the shuffling of dreams Remember who on earth you are I need me You need you We want us But of course you know I love you Or what else am I here for Only you not face to face But side by side for evermore And I need to be here with you For without you what am I Just another fool out searching For some heaven in the sky Take me closer to believing Take me forward lead me on Through collision and confusion While there's life beneath the sun You are the reason I continue So near for so long So close yet so far away I need me You need you We want us to live forever So don't let the curtain fall Measure after measure Of writing on the wall That burns so brightly It blinds us all I need me You need you We want us to be together On Sundays in the rain Closer than forever Against or with the grain To ride the storms of love again So be closer to believing Though your world is torn apart For a moment changes all things And to end is but to start And if your journey's unrewarded May your God lift up your heart You are windblown But you are mine |
Pirates "Who'll make his mark," The Captain cried To the Devil drink a toast We'll glut the hold With cups of gold And we'll feed the sea with ghosts I see your hunger for a fortune Could be better Served beneath my flag If you've the stomach For a broadside Come aboard my pretty boys I will take you and make you Everything you've ever dreamed." "Make fast the guns tonight we sail When the high tide floods the bay. Cut free the lines And square the yards Get the black flag stowed away The Turk, the Arab and the Spaniard Will soon have pennies on their eyes And any other laden fancy We will take her by surprise I will take you and make you Everything you've ever dreamed." Six days off the Cuban coast When a sail ahead they spied "A Galleon of the treasure fleet," The mizzen lookout cried "Closer to the wind my boys," The mad eyed Captain roared "For every man that's alive tonight Will be hauling gold aboard." "Spare us," the galleon begged But mercy's face had fled Blood ran from the screaming souls The cutlass harvested Driven to the quarter deck The last survivor fell "She's ours my boys," The Captain grinned "And no one left to tell." The Captain rose from a silk divan With a pistol in his fist And shot the lock from an iron box And a blood red ruby kissed "I give you jewellery of turquoise A crucifix of solid gold One hundred thousand silver pieces It is just as I foretold You... you see there before you Everything you've ever dreamed." Anchored in an indigo moonlit bay Gold-eyed round the fires The sea thieves lay Morning... white shells And a pipe of clay As the wind filled their footprints They were far... far... away. "Our sails swell full As we brave all seas On a westward wind To love as we please With the wicked wild-eyed woman Of Portobello town Where we've been told That a purse of gold Buys any man a crown They will serve you and cloth you Exchange your rags For the velvet coats of kings." "Who'll drink a toast with me I give you liberty This town is ours... tonight" "Landlord wine make it the finest Make it a cup for a sea-dog's thirst Two long years of bones and beaches Fever and leaches did their worst So fill the night with paradise Bring me peach and peacock Till I burst But first, I want a soft touch In the right place I want to feel like a king tonight Ten on the black To beat the Frenchman Back you dogs Give'em room to turn Now open wide sweet Heaven's gate Tonight we're gonna See if Heaven burns, See how she burns... I want an angel on a gold chain And I'll ride her to the stars It's the last time For a long long time Come the daybreak, we embark... On the flood of the morning tide Once more the ocean cried "This company will return one day Though we feel your tears It's the price we pay For there's prizes to be taken And glory to be found Cut free the chains Make fast your souls We are eldorado bound... I will take you For always forever, together Until Hell calls our names..." "Who'll drink a toast with me To the Devil and the deep blue sea Gold drives a man... to dream!" |
