| BABY JESUS | BOOMTOWN | |
| Built in a brick shed Covered in a cloth, she said ‘Baby Jesus strap it to your heart Make it like you mean it make it like a work of art’ Timed to precision and made to tear a man apart And his feet hit the pavement as she whispered ‘Baby Jesus’ All alone, freezing in an inner city park Baby Jesus strapped it to his heart Stunned by the red light He crumpled in the hazy dark And bowed his head as he stood bleeding Colder than a weighed out shot And his head struck the pavement As she whispered, ‘Baby Jesus’ Baby Jesus, Baby Jesus, Baby Jesus, Baby Jesus ‘I need faith,’ he said Shaking and reeling from the shock ‘I need hope’ he said Feeling now the pain has gone ‘Just give me something to hold onto, something to rely upon’ But the wind took his last breath as she whispered ‘Baby Jesus’ When the world cuts you down And pure pressure starts to mount When you’re forced to kick out any way When you’re shot out to heaven high Or blown out to the sky When that cold wind whistles Just what will you say, will you say Baby Jesus, Baby Jesus, Baby Jesus, Baby Jesus |
Sun and celebration come running down my
road Echoing the mood I’m in I’m always failing and I always seek to win There’s only so much that I can fake And there is nothing that is holding you on You’re colder than an April shower I saw outsiders wanting to belong These things keep me hanging on In a boomtown What blows up must fall down Stinging like an angel hitting a wall In a boomtown What blows up must fall down Stinging like a backside in some old fashioned rodeo I saw a woman dressed in black today Caught up in the mood she makes Her head is twisted and in her heart she longs To be dragged to her lonely fate But there is something that’s holding her on She’s colder than an April shower I see her love heading down the road These things keep me hanging on In a boomtown What blows up must fall down Stinging like an angel hitting a wall In a boomtown What blows up must fall down Stinging like a backside in some old fashioned rodeo |

| CAR CRASH AT 80 M.P.H. | CHANGE | |
| A gaunt stranger called me a name I turned around and he called me again He followed me and watched while I walked Looked at me and smiled when I talked Whispered turn it up and increase the power Like a car crash at 80 mph Turn it up and increase the power Like a car crash at 80 mph And all those stunts I pulled to make me safe Just crushed and crumpled up within an instant And all those destinations not yet reached Are torched and set alight out in the distance As I turn it up and increase the power Like a car crash at 80 mph As I bow out in a blaze of power Like a car crash at 80 mph Call the medics, bring out the police If you like big shots, you’re gonna love these I need a doctor, bring me one I need another shot, give me one And I spin around as it hits the bloodstream Moving up the arm, hits the nerves in a shower Increase the power Like a car crash at 80mph Turn it up and increase the power Like a car crash at 80mph |
It’s late but not too late You should know better than that You’re on fire without even knowing I’m on the street saying things I’ll probably regret It’s just a way to get you going Hey, running like rivers in the rain Every time I see your face There are some things that you should never explain Stand up, slow down and help to make me Change, change, change Take a ride right ‘round the corner It’s insane, sane, sane All I need is nothing on earth She’s got a black ink tattoo of a girl Dressed in a scarf and a motorcycle She’s on the street singing ‘Mother of Pearl’ Anything to get attention You see yourself running like rivers in the rain Every time I see your face Underground they’re playing, love is a game Anything that helps to make them Change, change, change Take a ride right ‘round the corner It’s insane, sane, sane All I need is nothing on earth Just make me change, change, change Take a ride right ‘round the corner It’s insane, sane, sane All I need is nothing on earth It’s late but not too late You should know better than that You’re on fire without even knowing I’m on the street saying things I’ll probably regret It’s just a way to get you going Hey, running like rivers in the rain Every time I see your face There are some things that you should never explain Stand up, slow down and help to make me Change, change, change Take a ride right ‘round the corner It’s insane, sane, sane All I need is nothing on earth Just make me change, change, change Take a ride right ‘round the corner It’s insane, sane, sane All I need is nothing on earth Just make me change |

| THE GIRL NEXT DOOR | GOLD DIGGER | |
| The girl next door is breaking free Sitting pretty, 5ft 3 She's already under wraps Under cover & off the map It's unlikely she'll calm down who could blame her Tell me what's the score With the girl next door She is out there somewhere She's just getting high She is under pressure She's about to fly She's a minor celebrity Lost her centre of gravity She cracks me up but that's alright She's in summer dressed in rags Blowing money she does not have It's her latest point of view You can't shake her, she won't move An accusation you just can't prove Is nothing sacred Tell me what's the score With the girl next door She is out there somewhere She's just getting high She is under pressure She's about to fly She's a minor celebrity Lost her grip on reality She cracks me up but that's alright And I won't be around When you are breaking down Take a shower Take a pill Cutting corners Chasing thrills It's the most that she can do You can tell it When she looks through you The girl next door What's the score With the girl next door Tell me what's the score With the girl next door |
I know your heart is black Your heart is black and there's no turning back This day was bound to come This day has come and now I'm on the run You left me on the road And on the road there is no moral code Now where is my only friend My only friend when will I meet you again Don't waste my time Save that line for someone else There is no rainbow's end round this bend Yes my friend I know and I know and I know And I've been around Why is your heart so cold Your heart is cold and you just dig for gold But there is a price to pay And don't I know I pay it every day Don't get so close To the ghost that you're following Go where the lightning goes and take the blows And so it goes I know and I know and I know And I've been around Don't waste my time Save that line for someone else There is no rainbow's end around this bend Yes my friend I know and I know and I know And I've been around And they say that you're going down And I know that you're going down You're going down |

| HOME IS WHERE THE HEART IS | HYMN FOR HER | |
| Lying here beside me, she kisses me once I try to reach to find her but she’s lost, lost Thieves on the rooftops, police on the streets, Sometimes I can barely get to sleep Come down from Jamaica, tired and sore Why wake up at all when I can dream some more Lying in the sunshine, a wound in my side Knights are heading for me, ride, ride Home is where the heart is Home is where the heart is Home is where the heart is Home is where the heart is |
Caught up in the magic When your spirit takes me there For what once held me startled Leaves me cold, alone and bare I’ve wasted countless hours Unsettling the dust And making false distinctions Between the righteous and the just For what seems all is nothing A thought you cannot share I sing a little hymn for her If time is just a fighter Who laughs at all his foes He waits until we’re smug enough Then winds us with his blows Expressions you can’t fathom The hand I cannot hold For what was built in heaven Is a statue I can’t mould With sense of loss surrounding me With thoughts I cannot bear I sing a little hymn for her When all of those around me May offer up their prayers I’ll sing a little hymn for her |

I see the way you make men smile They should run for a thousand miles When pure desperation drives a nation Makes a young boy turn wild I need help when I know I don’t I could quit but I know I won’t When pure sensation drives a nation Makes a young man turn wild I blur through this maniac wild-eyed town Throw the first punch but I hit the ground Takes twenty minutes to bring me around Lift me up, Lift me up, Lift me up You say life is much too brief Then you steal mine like a common thief When your every expression fuels suppression Drives a young man so wild I need help when I know I don’t I could quit but I know I won’t When sheer desperation drives a nation Makes a young boy turn wild I searched for release but you shot me down Wanted to shout but you killed the sound Sought out the thrill but you calmed me down Lift me up, lift me up, lift me up |

Sheltered from the sun, what have we become I thought you were the one, but maybe I was wrong Light a match and run I lose track, all those memories come flooding back School romances and Valentines Army checkpoints and thin white lines Tell me that you cannot sleep at night Tell me that you’re burning up inside Say it to me loud and clear Tell me what I want to hear Don’t ask me to leave, I’ve nothing up my sleeve I know you don’t believe you’re everything to me You set my spirit free I look back, back so far that I can’t keep track Second chances and wasted time High speed chases and cheap red wine Maybe it’s the tremble in your voice Maybe you don’t think you have a choice You can whisper in my ear Tell me what I want to hear |

Shoved on the highway Tossed on the motorway This is the real world Welcome to the real world And who put me down This is not my kind of town But in my mind I’m having such a good time There is nothing you could do that (You’ve got one strong hammer) Would faintly amuse me (Use it while you can) It’s sad when you accuse me (This is the hammer with which to) To hold all that and give nothing back (Break this man) Take a change of scenery (You’ve got one strong hammer) Something to release me (Use it while you can) Bind me firmly and leave me cold (This is the hammer with which to) My body is weak but my mind is sold (Break this man) I could drive out to the west coast This is what I need most Sing a lot and drinking Coca-Cola Out by Wisconsin Over by the Pentagon Hurry up and get dressed Let’s get out of this mess Don’t you know my car won’t go too slow Girl, we can’t go too far Until I find out who you are Slow down and pull into the side lane |

Bed sheets smell so sweet Long after she’s left to eat Tangled in a heap around her Careless as the night I found her Window open, my senses reel Outdoor air is good for me Suck it, smell it, breathe, inhale it Check the room and then detail it I can’t resist it, I can’t resist that tease It’s that pure release that hits me And makes me want to breathe I can’t resist it, I can’t resist that tease It’s that pure release that hits me And makes me want to breathe God knows where mercy goes Buried in the undergrowth It visits in the night to haunt me Whispers in my ear to taunt me Blonde hair, tattered jeans Spread out on a frozen field With the devil right behind us Who knows if they’ll ever find us I can’t resist it, I can’t resist that tease It’s that pure release that hits me And makes me want to breathe I can’t resist it, I can’t resist that tease It’s that pure release that hits me And makes me want to breathe Save yourself a piece of this pure release God knows where mercy goes Buried in the undergrowth It visits in the night to haunt me Whispers in my ear to taunt me Bed sheets smell so sweet Long after she’s left to eat Tangled in a heap around her Careless as the night I found her I can’t resist it, I can’t resist that tease It’s that pure release that hits me And makes me want to breathe I can’t resist it, I can’t resist that tease It’s that pure release that hits me And makes me want to breathe I can’t resist it, I can’t resist that tease It’s that pure release that hits me And makes me want to breathe I can’t resist it, I can’t resist that tease |

| SENSUAL THING | SHE HITS ME | |
| I want to electrify my senses, stretch my
nerves and save my soul I want to live in my own shelter free from terror and control I want to kiss your heart of darkness ‘til my mind begins to soar Til the daytime turns to night and I can’t stand it anymore I want to take all the chances that I can’t get I want to sense freedom but I haven’t met much yet I want to surge through this city in the silent hours And still avoid death and danger from those violent powers When it feels like you can’t avoid the rush What do you do when the pressure gets too much Where is that sensual thing Where is that sensual thing Is it the place where my life begins Where is that sensual thing I want to reach out, grab the night and touch the stars I want to waste some existence in the streets and in the bars I want to burst outside this canned reality I want to turn it round and see it like the way it’s meant to be When it feels like you can’t avoid the crush What do you do when the pressure gets too much Where is that sensual thing Where is that sensual thing Is it the place where my life begins Where is that sensual thing |
I’ve got a friend I can count on alone She sits beside me when I am on my own And slips inside me with her own liquid ease She comes around to keep me company And when my body’s bruised and sore She dims the lights and locks every door Leaves me legless and too blind to see She takes my arm to kill me gently So tight I can’t let it show Temptation I can’t let go She hits me with her eyes She leaves me paralysed She hits me with her eyes She hits me Bad situation my lover’s a drink She reels me in when I am on the brink And stuns my senses with her own special style She steals my body and drugs it for a while Can’t you see I’ve got nowhere to hide I can’t recover but I don’t mind She hits me with her eyes She leaves me paralysed She hits me with her eyes She hits me Just maybe I’ve had enough Of all your sympathizing I need a tonic not an antidote Just watch this sinner slide |

| SHE'S SO REAL | SILVER & GOLD | |
| She's so real, she's so real No big deal She's so real Just because I can't get close enough To the one I'm thinking of I always call you up I'm the person in between Your enemy unseen Though I like you well enough I stay here just because She's so real, she's so real I know how you feel She's so real & all I ever wanted was the chance to let her know & all I ever needed was the strength to let her go But sunlight blinds your eyes & I can tell that you don't know That you don't know She's so real, she's so real I know how you feel She's so real |
Give me your heart Give me your soul Give me your silver Give me your gold No I can’t stop you now You are burning inside my brain No I can’t stop you now No I cannot put out the flame Give me your heart Give me your soul Give me your silver Give me your gold No I can’t stop you now You are burning inside my brain No I can’t stop you now No I cannot put out the flame Give me your heart Give me your soul Give me your silver Give me your gold |

| SOMEDAY SOON | STUNG, STUCK AND STRANDED | |
| Someday soon you walk into this room I see you but I'll be immune Someday soon Somehow I Got to find a way to say goodbye Find a way to let this feeling die Somehow I Maybe it's me But it's time to make a getaway I don't know about you But it's time to make my getaway Call me a fool But it's time to make a getaway Don't know what else I can do Now it's time to make my getaway Someday soon You walk into this room I see you but I'll be immune Someday soon Someday soon |
Listen, listen I don’t know how to say it It’s been a long time since I’ve felt robbed this way It just seems that the more I search The more indifference kicks me where it hurts And just when I thought I was landed You left me stung, stuck and stranded Am I in love with you or am I not Will this door that’s open now lock Cos I know this feeling And it makes me go cold And just when I thought I was landed You left me stung, stuck and stranded Just when I thought I was landed Tied to the track, tied to the rail Tied to the past and running in a fool’s race You shower my head leave me numb The more remote cautious you become And just when I thought I was landed You left me stung, stuck and stranded |

| SUNLIGHT | SWEETHEART | |
| Speck of dust, that's us Sitting on a greyhound bus And we're a long way from home You shake hands, make plans Write your story in the sand And then get ready to run And time, every time I try to find it It falls out of my hand The sign staring through the window Says don't let go, no don't let go You can raise your eyes above all the lies that you hear From a hole in the ground to a place where the water is clear There is somewhere I know where we both can go Sunlight, sunlight Sunlight, sunlight Sunlight Cold sweat, I get Breathing in the warm sweet scent of you Together we roll Even though at this stage I'm waiting for a brand new wave To crash and swallow me whole And time, every time I try to find it It falls out of my hands The sign staring through the window Says don't let go, no don't let go You can find yourself in the eye of a storm and survive And my heart won't bleed when we get to the end of the ride There is one thing I know, together we flow Sunlight, sunlight Sunlight, sunlight Sunlight, sunlight You can raise your eyes above all the lies that you hear From a hole in the ground to a place where the water is clear There is somewhere I know where we both can go Sunlight, sunlight Sunlight, sunlight Sunlight |
Sweetheart I made you cry Sweetheart I made you cry God only knows why Sweetheart I made you cry Sweetheart come up and dance Sweetheart come up and dance This might be our only chance Sweetheart I made you cry Sweetheart I made you cry God only knows why Sweetheart I made you cry Sweetheart don’t give up Sweetheart don’t give up Come on drink from my cup Sweetheart don’t give up Let’s unwind one more time |

| TIME TO TURN AROUND | PLACEHOLDER | |
| So what if I call you up Cracked open with my eyes shut It takes time to turn around Burnt up only every day I need somewhere to hide away It takes time to turn around I’m going down to Belfast I’m going down to Belfast Take me out somewhere Where I just don’t care Somewhere I can breathe And make you believe this time Spent time on a few blind dates Asked how much money I make It takes time to turn around Class reunion day and I Can’t think of a word to say It takes time to turn around I’m going down to Belfast I’m going down to Belfast Take me out somewhere Where I just don’t care Somewhere I can breathe And make you believe this time Take me out somewhere Where I just don’t care Somewhere I can breathe And make you believe You can’t leave me I’m in too deep So give me something strong And I won’t get it wrong this time |

| U Lyrics |
| U MAKE ME FEEL | UPTIGHT | |
| Everyday I can see we're going round In a circle covering the same ground Take a trip, take a trip just you and me If we're together who knows what we will see Don't you know that we have got to make the time Now is what matters and that is the bottom line All I want, all I want to do is get high You make me feel that I just stepped into the light You make me feel that I can make it through the night You make me feel that I'm alive And when I'm with you I feel high And when I'm with you I feel high Take a trip, take a trip just me and you Underneath, underneath the big blue Take your time, you take all the time you want Where we're going I don't think we'll think a lot On the grass, throwing stones into the stream Ghettoblaster tuning into Al Green All I want, all I want to do is get by And you make me feel that I just stepped into the light You make me feel that I can make it through the night You make me feel that I'm alive And when I'm with you I feel high And when I'm with you I feel high Sit and watch, sit and watch the water run Underneath, underneath the hot sun Is it me or are we just distracted by All the problems that one day will pass us by If you see, if you see the way to go Won't you tell me 'cause sometimes I don't know All I want, all I want to do is get high |
Uptight, how come you’re so uptight Come on and let’s go out tonight Let’s go down and join the freak show And look for anyone we know Inside we’re battered and bruising Outside it looks like we’re cruising I want to know just how it feels To be so real Uptight, how come you’re so uptight Come on and let’s get wrecked tonight So smashed, keep going ‘til we both crash And find out how long we can last Inside the temperature is rising Outside my body’s capsizing I want to know just how it feels To be so real Uptight, how come you’re so uptight Come on and let’s go out tonight |

| V Lyrics |
| VOICE ON THE RADIO | VOLATILE | |
| We watched a Roman candle burn The day the world refused to turn Even a chimpanzee can learn to act a little human We saw a firecracker fall Among the market shops and stalls And then we wondered if it all was just an illusion Will time roll back again When I hear your voice on the radio Will time roll back again When I see the smokestack fall Will time roll back again When the Sun collides into Jupiter Don't you know I'd follow you anywhere You get so tired of being told That it's your future that can be sold Until the moment stops you cold And you hear your heart beating Now we're fighting for every breath that we take We're looking for all the friends we can make And we survive with every hand that we shake Will time roll back again When I hear your voice on the radio Will time roll back again When I see the smokestack fall Will time roll back again When the Sun collides into Jupiter Don't you know I'd follow you anywhere And I can't find a way to move myself above this And I can't find a way to see what's before us All I know is it's too late to close the door |
Maybe I like your style But you’re so volatile I’m right inside you but I can’t find you There’s no one for miles and miles Speeding up every hour like a drunk in a racecar I don’t think you know just where the past and future really are If you find out, I’d appreciate it if you’d share The information with someone who really cares It’s the middle of the day No one’s getting closer to the motorway Time to watch the situation change Keeps me up all night Count the hours before daylight Why am I here waiting When you’re out there hesitating Maybe I like your style But you’re so volatile I’m right inside you but I can’t find you There’s no one for miles and miles But all you see are ghosts The things you fear the most I’m behind you but I can’t find you I’m not even getting close The police are trying to cross town And we’re on the pavement stuck around in traffic And all I want to say is Can’t we ever find the time to make some space Everything conspires to make a mess of this place It’s the middle of the night Someone’s trying to get me into a fight Time to watch the situation change Keeps me up all day Same routine just in different ways Why am I here waiting When you’re still out there ball-breaking Maybe I like your style But you’re so volatile I’m right inside you but I can’t find you There’s no one for miles and miles If all you see are shadows That’s all that remains of me I can’t forget my past And all I want is to last I’m inside you but I can’t find you Come on and make me Come on and make me Come on and make me high |

| WASHINGTON DOWN | WASTED | |
| What’s that you say He’s on his own, always alone An English man, you understand Has he got a heart of stone Calm and yet, you can detect sometimes a frown Not a sound, young Washington Down Why be bold in an age of regret If you’re sure that your values are set At this fast rate you’ve no need to run Take it easy young Washington Wait for love, for you know love can wait Look for danger before it’s too late You know from the past just how fast time can come Take it easy young Washington If I seem so suddenly cruel Know that jealousy burns as a rule Try to struggle you know you know you can’t fight Walk on silently into the night |
I’ve got to get off this train I’m coming down with something I can feel it Heaven and paradise, this time I know it’s for real It passed me on your street Froze me cold like stone Someday I knew that smile was going to Grind me down to the bone But I can’t forget your face And I don’t really know your name But you look so out of place And I know that someone’s to blame I only hurt you once But you never lost the shame I find myself a hole And climb in Wasted, when there’s no one around Wasted, when the darkness hits town Screaming inside but you can’t make a sound Wasted, come on settle me down You remind me of someone I knew Come on down so I can show you Heaven and paradise, this time I know it’s for real Take a look at all those dreams I dreamt of you tonight What leaves a heart like yours Shut down and broken Wasted, when there’s no one around Wasted, when the darkness hits town Screaming inside but you can’t make a sound Wasted, come on don’t waste my time Wasted, when there’s no one around Wasted, come on don’t let me down Caught up like a cat in a tree You’re making love to someone But I know it’s not me |
