No Bravery

There are children standing here,
Arms outstretched into the sky,
Tears drying on their face.
He has been here.
Brothers lie in shallow graves.
Fathers lost without a trace.
A nation blind to their disgrace,
Since he's been here.

And I see no bravery,
No bravery in your eyes anymore.
Only sadness.
(x2)
Only sadness

Houses burnt beyond repair.
The smell of death is in the air.
A woman weeping in despair says,
He has been here.
Tracer lighting up the sky.
It's another families' turn to die.
A child afraid to even cry out says,
He has been here.

And I see no bravery,

No bravery in your eyes anymore.
Only sadness.
(x2)

There are children standing here,
Arms outstretched into the sky,
But no one asks the question why,
He has been here.
Old men kneel to accept their fate.
Wives and daughters cut and raped.
A generation drenched in hate.
Says, he has been here.

And I see no bravery,
No bravery in your eyes anymore.
Only sadness.

And I see no bravery,
No bravery in your eyes anymore.

And I see no bravery,
No bravery in your eyes anymore.
Only sadness.
(x2)
Only sadness

In Flowers

You're A butterfly
and you want to be
in flowers
and you want to meet
Dalai lama
reach nirvana

because I love you love me
I just want you to be
in flowers
with me

I'm A little child
and I want to be
held in your arms
any fool can see
that it's nothing new
that I need you

because I love you love me
I just want you to see
the little child in me

there's A butterfly that's in my heart
it lives in me when we're apart
but preferably you stay with me
because I love you love me
I just want you to be the butterfly in me

In A Little While

(U2 cover)

In a little while
Surely you'll be mine
In a little while I'll be there

In a little while
This hurt will hurt no more
I'll be home, love

When the night takes a deep breath
And the daylight has no end
If I crawl, if I come crawling home
Will you be there

In a little while
I won't be blown by every breeze
Friday night running
To Sunday on my knees

That girl, that girl
She's mine
And I've know her since

Since she was a little girl
With Spanish eyes
Oh, when I saw her
In a pram they pushed her by

My, how you've grown
Well it's been
It's been a little while

Slow down my beating heart
A man dreams one day to fly
A man takes a rocketship into the sky
He lives on star that's dying in the night
And follows in the trail
The scatter of light

Turn it on
Turn it on
You turn me on

Slow down my beating heart
Slowly, slowly love
Slow down my beating heart
Slowly, slowly love
Slow down my beating heart
Slowly, slowly love

I'll Take Everything

Ooh, these feet carry me far
Oh, my body. Oh so tired
Mouth is dry
Hardly speak
Holy spirit rise in me

Here I swear
Forever is just a minute to me

And I'll take everything!
Mmm, mmm, mmm
In this life
I'll join everyone
When I die

Have my body
Have my mind
Have my coat
Take my time
These I borrow.
Borrow so far
Turn to dust
Fall apart

Here I swear
Forever is just a minute to me

And I'll take everything!
Mmm,mmm.mmm
In this life!
I'll join everyone
Oh, and understand
'Cause all men die ('cause all men die)
'Cause all men die

And I'll take everything!
Mmm,mmm,mmm
In this life!
I'll join everyone!
Ooo, since I'm gonna die
And I'll take everything!
Mmm,mmm,mmm
In this life!
I'll join everyone!
'cause all men die

I Want You

The guilty undertaker sighs,
The lonesome organ grinder cries,
The silver saxophones say I should refuse you.
The cracked bells and washed-out horns
Blow into my face with scorn,
But it's not that way,
I wasn't born to lose you.
I want you, I want you,
I want you so bad,
Honey, I want you.

The drunken politician leaps
Upon the street where mothers weep
And the saviors who are fast asleep,
They wait for you.
And I wait for them to interrupt
Me drinkin' from my broken cup
And ask me to
Open up the gate for you.
I want you, I want you,
I want you so bad,
Honey, I want you.

Now all my fathers, they've gone down
True love they've been without it.
But all their daughters put me down

'Cause I don't think about it.

Well, I return to the Queen of Spades
And talk with my chambermaid.
She knows that I'm not afraid
To look at her.
She is good to me
And there's nothing she doesn't see.
She knows where I'd like to be
But it doesn't matter.
I want you, I want you,
I want you so bad,
Honey, I want you.

Now your dancing child with his Chinese suit,
He spoke to me, I took his flute.
No, I wasn't very cute to him,
Was I?
But I did it, though, because he lied
Because he took you for a ride
And because time was on his side
And because I . . .
I want you, I want you,
I want you so bad,
Honey, I want you.

I Really Want You

Many prophets preach on bended knee
Many clerics wasted wine
Do the bloodied sheets
On those cobbled streets
Mean I have wasted time

Are there silver shores on paradise?
Can I come in from the cold?
I killed a man in a far away land
My enemy I'm told

I really want you to really want me
But I really don't know if you can do that
I know you want to know I tried
But I know it's so hard for you to do that
And time's running out as often it does
And often dictates if you can't do that
Fate can't break this feeling inside
That's burning up through my veins

I really want you
I really want you
I really want you now

No matter what I say or do
The message isn't getting through
And you're listening to the sound
Of my breaking heart

I really want you
I really want you

Is a poor man rich in solitude?
Or will mother earth complain
Did the beggar pray for a sunny day but
Lady luck for rain

They say a million people bow and scrape
To an effigy of gold
As so life begin
And the ship we're in
And history unfold


I really want you to really want me
But I really don't know if you can do that (I really want you)
I know you want to know what's right
But I know it's so hard for you to do that (I really want you)
And time's running out as often it does
And often dictates that you can't do that
Fate can't break this feeling inside (now)
That's burning up through my veins

I really want you
I really want you
I really want you now

No matter what I say or do
The message isn't getting through
And you're listening to the sound
Of my breaking heart
No matter what I say or do
The message isn't getting through
And you're listening to the sound
Of my breaking heart

I Can't Hear the Music

Is it a warning?
Is it an evil sign?
Is it a people
who have lost their mind?
Is it the darkness?
Is it a man resigned?
Is it a best friend
leaving you behind?
Is it ever gonna stop
will they ever let you go
you're in a rush they don't care enough
cause there lives are very slow
time is ticking on
you don't get a second shot
and when you sell your soul
for a leading role will the lost souls be forgot

And if I can’t hear the music
And the audience is gone
I’ll dance here on my own.
And I hope the lonely hearts club band
Will play out one last song
Before the sun goes down.

And is it ending
Should it really make you sick
Is now the time that you realize
you better get out quick cause time is ticking on
to long to fake your smile
but then you sell your soul for a leading role so wear it for a while

And if I can’t hear the music
And the audience is gone
I’ll dance here on my own.
And I hope the lonely hearts club band
Will play out one last song
Before the sun goes down.

And there she goes
and there she goes
so write
cause billy's got himself a gun billy's got himself a gun
and your right to be afraid they'll send you to your grave cause your strange


And if I can’t hear the music
And the audience is gone
I’ll dance here on my own.
cause billy's got himself a gun billy's got himself a gun
and your right to be afraid they'll send you to your grave cause your strange

and if i can't hear the music and the audience is gone I'll dance.

And is it evil?
Should it really make you sick?
Is now the time that you realize
you’d better get out quick?

And is it envy
Or pride that makes them vain?
Did you give your all
But you’re only small
And now your body’s drained?
This is never gonna stop.
They will never let you go.
You're in a rush.
They don’t care enough.
’Cause their lives are very slow.
Time is ticking on.
Too long to fake your smile.
But then you sold your soul for a leading role
So wear it for a while.

And if I can’t hear the music
And the audience is gone
I’ll dance here on my own.
And I hope the lonely hearts club band
Will play out one last song
Before the sun goes down.

And there she goes
And there she goes


So ‘round you’ll see me run
‘Cause Billy’s got himself a gun
And you're right to be afraid
They'll send you to your grave
‘Cause it’s strange and new

And if I can’t hear the music
And the audience is gone
I’ll dance here on my own.
And I hope the lonely hearts club band
Will play out one last song
Before the sun goes down.

And there she goes
And there she goes

So ‘round you’ll see me run
‘Cause Billy’s got himself a gun
And you're right to be afraid
They'll send you to your grave
‘Cause it’s strange and new

So ‘round you’ll see me run
‘Cause Billy’s got himself a gun
And you're right to be afraid
They'll send you to your grave
‘Cause it’s strange and new

And if I can’t hear the music
And the audience is gone
I’ll dance…

Your Beautiful

My life is brilliant.

My life is brilliant
my life is pure
I saw an angel
of that I’m sure,
She smiled at me on the subway,
she was with another man
but I won't lose any sleep on that
cause I got a plan.

You’re beautiful
You’re beautiful
You’re beautiful, it’s true
I saw your face in a crowded place
And I don’t know what to do
cause I’ll never be with you.

Yes she caught my eye,
as I walked on by
she could see from my face
that I was flying high
and I don’t think that I'll see her again
but we shared a moment
that will last til the end.

You’re beautiful
You’re beautiful
You’re beautiful it’s true
I saw your face in a crowded place
And I don’t know what to do
cause I'll never be with you.

Lalalalalala Lalalalalala Lalalalala La

You’re beautiful
You’re beautiful
You’re beautiful it’s true
There must be an angel with a smile on her face
when she thought up that I should be with you.
But it’s to time face the truth,
cause I'll never be with you

High

Beautiful dawn - lights up the shore for me.
There is nothing else in the world,
I'd rather wake up and see (with you).
Beautiful dawn - I'm just chasing time again.
Thought I would die a lonely man, in endless night.
But now I'm high; running wild among all the stars above.
Sometimes it's hard to believe if you remember me.

Beautiful dawn - melt with the stars again.
Do you remember the day when my journey began?
Will you remember the end (of time)?

Beautiful dawn - You're just blowing my mind again.
Thought I was born to endless night, until you shine.
High; running wild among all the stars above.
Sometimes it's hard to believe if you remember me.

Will you be my shoulder when I'm grey and older?
Promise me tomorrow starts with you,
Getting high; running wild among all the stars above.
Sometimes it's hard to believe if you remember me
High; running wild among all the stars above.
Sometimes it`s hard to believe if you remember me

Fall At Your Feet

I'm really close to night
And I feel like I'm moving inside her
Lying in the dark
And I think that I'm beginning to know her
Let it go
I'll be there when you call
And whenever I fall at your feet
Do you let your tears rain down on me
Whenever I touch your slow turning pain

You're hiding from me now
There's something in the way that you're talkin'
Words don't sound right
But I hear them all moving inside you
Go now
I'll be there when you call
And whenever I fall at your feet
Do you let your tears rain down on me
Whenever I touch your slow turning pain

The finger of blame has turned upon itself
And I'm more than willing to offer myself
Do you want my presence or need my help?
Who knows where that might lead
I fall

The finger of blame has turned upon itself
And I'm more than willing to offer myself
Do you want my presence or need my help?
Who knows where that might lead
I fall at your feet

Dont Go


And don't forget that I'll be watching you
And the meaning of your motives will come shining through.
Is it a warning? Is it an evil sign? Is it a people
Who had lost their mind? Is it the darkness?
Is it a man resigned? Is it a best friend leaving you behind?

And don't forget that I'll be watching you,
And the meaning of your motives will come shining through...

Is it a warning? Is it an evil sign? Is it a people
Who had lost their mind? Is it the darkness?
Is it a man resigned? Is it a best friend leaving you behind?
Is it a good thing? Is it a gift in kind?
Is it a prophet with a one-track mind? Is it the finish?
Is it a fearful find? Is it the center
As your brain unwinds?

(Chorus)
Don't go where you been before, don't go sleeping on a floor
Don't go down on dirty whore
Don't lose yourself
Don't lose yourself
Don't lose yourself

Is it evil? Is it gonna make u sick?
Is now a time that you realize that you better get out quick?
Is it hunger? Is it making you feel pain?
Did you give your all, 'cause ur only small and now your body's drained?
Is it ever gonna stop? Will they ever let you go?
You're in a rush, they don't care enough, and they're thinking very slow...
Time is ticking on; we don't get a second shot.
And in 60 years, we gotta face our fears and show the cards we've got...

Don't go where you been before, don't go sleeping on the floor
Don't go down on dirty whore
Don't lose yourself
Don't lose yourself
Don't lose yourself
Don't lose yourself
Don't lose yourself
Don't lose yourself….

Give Me Some Love

Me and my guitar play my way
It makes them frown
The little pieces by the highway
Bring me down

Mine is not a heart of a stone
I am only skin and bone
Thoese little pieces are little pieces of my own

Why don't you give me some love
I've taken a shipload of drugs
I'm so tired of never fixing the pain
Valium said to me
I'll take you seriously
And we'll come back
As someone else
Who's better than yourself

Many faces at the doorway
All hang around
Watch me fight in the hallway
But make no sound
So standing all alone
And I'm only skin and bone
So many faces but they all look out for their own

Why don't you give me some love
I've taken a shipload of drugs
I'm so tired of never fixing the pain
Valia said to me
I'll take you seriously
And we'll come back as someone else
Who's better than yourself

Why don't you give me some love
I've taken shipload of drugs
I'm so tired of never fixing the pain
Valium said to me
I'll take you seriously
And we'll come back as someone else
Who's better than yourself today

And someday
Soon they'll drop the bomb
Let it all out
Someday!
I know that someday
Soon we'll all be gone!
So let it all out!
Let it all out today!

And give me some love
Yeah give me some love
Come give me some love, today...
