"I'm Still The Same"

"I'm Still The Same"



You just can't look me straight in the eye, can you?
The guilt, the shame and the little white lies damn you
Can't get the toothpaste back in the tube
What's done is done, can't be misconstrued

Whatever happened to the girl I knew?
What kind of world have you been drawn into?
Somebody turned your head, what is the game
Because I haven't changed
I'm still the same

And when the final curtain is down, lady
Your whole life fragments scattered around, baby
Don't lay the blame at anyone's door
Don't point your finger, not any more...

"Joe Di Maggio's Glove"

"Joe Di Maggio's Glove"



I'm always my own guy, I do what I need to get by
I believe my way is the only way
Flattery is a dull blade
So I won't use that to get my point made
'Cause you're far too smart, I'm not smart enough
I never answer to on-one, I always walk, 'cause I can't run
Hand-to-mouth, and day to day
But my pride is killing me
I just can't get where I want to be
I'm lost, I need someone to show the way

Couldn't see for looking, staring at the sun
I had no idea of what was to come

All summer it was only you
You were a gift from above
Two hearts could only beat as one
We could not get enough
I've never been completely lost
I've never been so in love
How did my heart become so soft?
Like Joe DiMaggio's glove

I don't like the telephone
And I don't much mind if I am alone
The right place and the right time
Are here and now
I live in the moment
And I don't say things that I never meant
And I won't promise that which I cannot do

I couldn't see for looking, staring at the sun
I had no warning of what was to come

All summer it was only you
Just the sound of your voice
Two hearts could only beat as one
I did not have a choice
I've never been completely lost
Never been so in love
How did my heart become so soft?
Like Joe DiMaggio's glove

I don't know how, I don't know why
All I know now is that I will never be the same again

All summer it was only you
You were a gift from above
Two hearts could only beat as one
We could not get enough
I've never been completely lost
I've never been so in love
How did my heart become so soft?
Like Joe DiMaggio's glove

How did my heart become so soft?
Like Joe DiMaggio's glove

"Judas"

"Judas"



My life was never all plain sailing
always so extreme
I climbed the peaks or perished, failing
You'd say I lived the dream

But then one day my global mercy
I should have been so proud
You need to know
That was the worst thing
You turned and laughed out loud

Why did you choose to stand behind me
Somewhere I couldn't see
Just when I couldn't feel it coming
You put a knife in me

I never needed your assistance
I always trusted you
I didn't understand your distance
You put a knife in me
You put a knife in me

I'd love to know what does it feels like
To be a Judas friend
To be a brutal, traitor of the soul
Murderous at the end

And now while I find it quite astounding
You come to shake my hand
You'll never see how much you hurt me
You couldn't understand

Why did you choose to stand behind me
Somewhere I couldn't see
Just when I couldn't feel it coming
You put a knife in me

I never needed your assistance
I always trusted you
I didn't understand your distance
You put a knife in me
(You took the life from me)
You put a knife in me

Judas, Judas
Judas, Judas
You put a knife in me
You put a knife in me

Why did you choose to stand behind me
Somewhere I couldn't see
Just when I couldn't feel it coming
You put a knife in me

I never needed your assistance
I always trusted you
I didn't understand your distance
You put a knife in me
You put a knife in me

Judas, Judas
Judas, Judas
You put a knife in me

Judas, Judas
Judas, Judas
Judas, Judas
Judas, Judas...

"Kings Of The Day"

"Kings Of The Day"



Heroes of the future
The keepers of the past
And objects of our beauty
Remaining till the last

Walking on the water
The oceans at our feet
The passage of our nature
The taste of bitter-sweet

So shall we be Kings?
Born just to win
Proud voices sing
And we wish that this life would go on and on

Looking in the distance
The fever on the street
Cast away the covers
Let my people see

Rulers of the network
Leaders from the dark
Embrace a generation
The first will be the last

So shall we be Kings?
Born just to win
Proud voices sing
And we wish that this life would go on and on

Shall we be Kings?
Born just to win
Proud voices sing
We will never give up till the day is done

Shall we be Kings?
Born just to win
Proud voices sing
And we hope that the Word will live on and on

Time waiting
Time taking
Life

"Lay Down Your Arms"

"Lay Down Your Arms"



We used to live in a better world
Where sky and water were free
We point the finger
We point the gun
Is that the way it should be?

We rape the land
And we tear the skin
Burn the blood In the stone
To fuel the fire of a selfish mind
Do you want to live here alone?

Lay down your arms - surrender
You know you'll never get out of here
Lay down your arms - remember
No force - you'd better lay down your gun

Such are the sins of humanity
Dark is the air that we breathe
A war to hide in society
Don't close your eyes to deceive

Too many promises
Too may tears
Where does the future lie
If we burn away the years

We can make this a better world
Where sky and water are free
So give the hand without the gun
That's the way it will be

"Light The Way"

"Light The Way"



You give your innocence so easy
All too soon you'll know
Lose your fragile independence
Then you're on your own

No matter what it is, be sure it can be fixed
Letting go of yesterday
Might - just might - light the way

I keep on searching ever more, for
What I just can't see
Now I look, and find the answer
Right in front of me

No matter what it is, be sure it can be fixed
Letting go of yesterday

Might - just might - light the way

"Listen, Children"

"Listen, Children"



The time is right for dancing, New Moon is rising high
The stars they shine like diamonds do, within a velvet sky
Who cares when it is midnight? No curfew here, I swear
The angels dance with us tonight, the Devil won't be there
Warm breeze from the Sahara, at St. René l'Abbé
Fling your shoes into the wind, and roll your cares away

Listen children, what's that sound?
Won't you come and hear our music play
All good children gather round
And we'll dance the holy night away,
What you say?
Step this way
It's okay...

Our troubles are but bubbles, floating off toward the moon
This special time is precious, for the morning comes too soon
So, listen to the music, and join us if you dare
Come and take a breath of this intoxicating air
This is a perfect evening, there's magic here tonight
If you believe in miracles, there's plenty here tonight

Listen children, what's that sound?
Won't you come and hear our music play
All good children gather round
And we'll dance the holy night away

Listen children, what's that sound?
Won't you come and hear our music play
All good children gather round
And we'll dance the holy night away
What you say?
Step this way
It's okay...
Écoutez!
What you say?

Warm wind from the Sahara, at St. René l'Abbé
Fling your shoes into the night, and blow your cares away

Listen children, what's that sound?
Won't you come and hear our music play
All good children gather round
And we'll dance the holy night away

Listen children, what's that sound?
Won't you come and hear our music play
All good children gather round
And we'll dance the holy night away,
What you say?
Step this way
It's okay

Listen children, what's that sound?
Won't you come and hear our music play
All good children gather round
And we'll dance the holy night away

Listen children, what's that sound?
Won't you come and hear our music play
All good children gather round
And we'll dance the holy night away,
What you say?
Step this way
Écoutez!

"Little Rich Boy"

"Little Rich Boy"



Don't read "Marx"
He's a clean cut guy
Just the dream
On a TV eye
If you swim
In the dark
You lose a hand
When you feed the shark

Little rich boy, she's gonna find you
Little rich boy
Little rich boy, those claws will blind you
Just a little rich boy

She got hooks
In your veins
Feel the pleasure
Kill the pain
Drop a pearl
See the dragon fly
Crack the diamond
Do you still feel high?

"Long Way From Home"

"Long Way From Home"



There's a black Siberian
Look a white guy in the sun
Miles away from where the quest begun

From the ice to the sand
Nations moved across the land
Ever since time designed the man

Someday to return
To the place of my birth

I'm a long way from home
But I know where I belong
It's a long way I know
But the heart will still carry me home

Firewater in the blood
Took away the livelihood
Giving thanks every single year

Who the hell
Owns this land?
Is it God or is it man?
With the blood we draw the line again

I'm called to return
To the place of my birth

I'm a long way from home
But I know where I belong
It's a long way I know
But the heart will still carry me home
I'm a long way from home
But I know where I belong
It's a long way I know
But the heart will still carry me home

"Love Like The Video"

"Love Like The Video"



She sends her smile by satellite
Steaming up the screen at night
Got the mouth, knows how to squeeze
Every line of make-believe
In the flesh, just like a dream
Fingers touch the fantasy
To hold so close, her lips near mine
Bodies on the borderline

Oh, when the lights went down
I held my breath
But she held the freeze frame

Love like the video
Why can't she love like the video

Captured hot on thirty-five
Tempting all to idolise
Leading lady, pleading man
Picture post, L.A., Cannes
Every take is just like the first
Every fake so well rehearsed
Passions are the cruelest part
Deception in the coolest heart

Oh, when the lights went down
I held my breath
But she held the freeze frame

Love like the video
Why can't she love like the video
