Blue boy go get your gun
Hands together we can have some fun
Out tonight and the beat goes on
Blue boy go get your gun
Hands together we can have some fun
Out tonight and the beat goes on
We don't need no intervention
Keep your cover on information
We got boys down at the station
Take the floor, break the law
Call it crime prevention
got a grip on the population
Know your name and number, darling (darling)
Blue boy go get your gun
Hands together we can have some fun
Out tonight and the beat goes on
What a criminal situation
Blue boy go get your gun
Hands together we can have some fun
Out tonight and the beat goes on
What a criminal situation
You need co-operation
Gotta pay for your own protection
And the state's too scared to mention
Take the floor, break the law
Gonna cut out all emotion
Let's shake up this commotion
Shake now like a soldier, darling (darling)
Blue boy go get your gun
Hands together we can have some fun
Out tonight and the beat goes on
What a criminal situation
Blue boy go get your gun
Hands together we can have some fun
Out tonight and the beat goes on
What a criminal situation

"Precious"

"Precious"


The ebb and flow of the tide
Will carry me forth into your arms
And though I'll miss you tonight
The thought of your love keeps me warm

As the moon comes out over the water

Precious and too sweet
I shall pray love your soul to keep
The river sleeping sound
I shall be dreaming deep of you

Soul do keep thee
Rife and weepy
Calling out to you

The dip and roar of the crowd
Will dizzy me forth into your arms
And if we pass it all around
We'll be of the same point of view

As the world spins round and here everafter

Precious and too sweet
I shall pray love your soul to keep
And I lay me gently down
I shall be dreaming deep of you

On a bed of silver sand
I'll take you lightly by the hand
And we'll dance on by the moon
I shall be dreaming deep of you

Shattered, dreamy
Calm and sweetly
Fool enough for two

(...)
(Do it for thy true love take)
(...)

When the stars play hide and seek
I shall be dreaming deep of you (I shall be dreaming)
Precious and too sweet
I shall pray love your soul to keep (I shall be praying)

On a bed of silver sand
I'll take you lightly by the hand (I shall be dreaming)
And we'll dance on by the moon
I shall be dreaming deep of you (I shall be praying)

Precious and too sweet
I shall pray love your soul to keep

"Promises"

"Promises"


It's a quarter-to-twelve
And ain't nobody answering
Fell under your spell
But ooh, that feeling was fleeting
I've had my fill
And I just don't wanna fight any more
I know the stories well
And I just can't take any more
Keep your promises
I just need somebody to be there
(The will inside me is breaking)
And if we can't be honest
Baby don't you see we won't get nowhere
(We won't get anywhere on our own)
So won't you keep those promises
I just need someone to rely on
(The will inside me is breaking)
'Cause if we're not solid
Everything will change
Nothing will remain of the both of us
(Nothing remaining of us)
Promises, promises, only promises
Whatever happened to
That tender side I saw in you?
What you made me do
Those things, woah
And I wonder how those vows we made
Ooh they'd evaporate
And like the rain at night it came
Then it was gone
Keep your promises
I just need somebody to be there
(The will inside me is breaking)
And if we can't be honest
Baby don't you see we won't get nowhere
(We won't get anywhere on our own)
So won't you keep those promises
I just need someone to rely on
(The will inside me is breaking)
'Cause if we're not solid
Everything will change
Nothing will remain of the both of us
(Nothing remaining of us)
Promises, promises, only promises
Promises, promises, only promises
Keep your promises
I just need somebody to be there
(The will inside me is breaking)
And if we can't be honest
Baby don't you see we won't get nowhere
(We won't get anywhere on our own)
So won't you keep those promises
I just need someone to rely on
'Cause if we're not solid
Everything will change
Nothing will remain of the both of us
(Nothing remaining of us)

"Push Me Shove Me"

"Push Me Shove Me"


Push me
Push me
Over

Push me
Push me

Motion always seemed to me
The way I ought to go
No one now gets in my way
I won't let my heartache show
The same situation
Won't bring me down no more
I get on without you now
I don't need your help for sure

Push me
Shove me
I don't call that love me
I call that over

There was once a time
When I would fall for all your lies
Now I know the game you play
I see clear there in your eyes
You can't cry inside me
I won't let you in my heart
I can walk out on my own
It's high time we moved apart

Push me (Push me)
Shove me (Push me)
I don't call that love me
Push me (Push me)
Shove me (Push me)
I don't call that love me
Call that over
Call that over
Call that over
Call that over

You say talk it out
I say it's all one big mistake
Cut so deep, it's hard
And it's the chance I have to take
I don't need to follow
I wanna face love on my own
Motion no emotion
From now on that's how love goes

Push me (Push me)
Shove me (Push me)
I don't call that love me
Call that over
Push me (Push me)
Shove me (Push me)
I don't call that love me
Call that over

"Rage"

"Rage"


Let's face the music
I think that it's time.
What's the use
When the future looks so unkind.
Life and death - the choice we make.
Revolution - the line in my mind takes.
Win or lose, hey
What do you say
Got to change change change change
Check it out and see - there could be a better lifestyle
My hopes are big as the sky
My dreams are wider than wide
One day we'll be absolutely cruelty free
Rage
March on
Unleash the spirit
Rise above all fear
Into the light
It's a world affair
Don't waste a minute
Let the heart decide
It's time to care
What is this sad fascination
To rip off another's skin
Shame Shame Shame
Fancy people in furcoat - what a pitiful sight
Leather is dead - it's not so nice
Rage
March on
Unleash the spirit
Rise above all fear
Into the light
It's a world affair
Don't waste a minute
Let the heart decide
It's time to care
Stop
Think
Before you chew
Don't eat a creature that won't eat you
Food for everyone
Let's all eat - it's so much fun
Let that chicken be
A cow is not a factory
Fast food slaughter - a criminal waste
We've got to tune ourselves into a new morality
Make some improvement on the human race
Rage each time I turn around
Rage it tears my heart apart
Rage each time I see the blood
Hey now
Sentimental feelings are just not good enough
March on
Unleash the spirit
Rise above all fear
It's time to care
March on
Unleash the spirit
Rise above all fear
Into the light
It's a world affair
Don't waste a minute
Let your heart decide
It's time to care
March on
Unleash the spirit
Rise above all fear it's time to care

"Rain"

"Rain"


What is there to do
Only rain
Falling down from the sky
Only me and you
Fair and plain
Nothing lost and nothing gained
Only the love nothing more nothing less comes between us
Temperatures rising my passion is burning inside
My world in light saving all as one
A love that no one can deny
My one true light same for everyone
A love we dare you to defy
Only rain
I won't settle for less, but no regrets
See myself in your own reflection
(See myself in your reflection)
Something in your eyes that tells me whyI'm a fool for your warm affection
(I'm a fool for your affection)
Only the love nothing more nothing less comes between us
Temperatures rising my passion is burning inside
My world in light saving all as one
A love that no one can deny
Only rain
My one true light same for everyone (One true, one true)
A love we dare you to defy
Only rain
(You are my, my one true, my world in light)
(You are my, my one true, my world in light)
My world in light saving all as one (My one true, one true)
A love that no one can deny
Only rain
My one true light same for everyone (One true, my one true)
A love we dare you to defy
Only rain
My world in light saving all as one
A love that no one can deny
Only rain
My one true light same for everyone (One true, one true)
A love we dare you to defy
Only rain

"Rapture"

"Rapture"


Toe to toe
Dancing very close
Body breathing
Almost comatose
Wall to wall
People hypnotised
And they're stepping lightly
And each night in rapture
Back to back
Sacraliliac
Spineless movement
And a wild attack
Face to face
Sightless solitude
And it's finger popping
twenty-four hour shopping in rapture
Fab Five Freddy told me everybody fly
DJ spinning I said my my
Flash is fast
Flash is cool
Fran_ois ce pa Flashe no deau
And you don't stop
Sure shot
Go out to the parking lot
And you get in your car
And you drive real far
And you drive all night
And you see a light
And it comes right down
And it lands on the ground
And out comes a man from mars
And you try to run
but he's got a big gun
and he shoots you dead
and he eats your head
And then you're in a man from mars
You go out all night eating cars
You eat cadillacs, lincolns too, mercuries and subarus
And you don't stop
You keep on eating cars
And then when there's no more cars
You go out at night and eat up bars
Where the people meet
Face to face
Cheek to cheek
One to one
Man to man
Dance toe to toe
Don't move too slow
'Cos the man from mars is filled with cars
He's eating bars
Yeah wall to wall
Door to door
Wall to wall he's gonna eat them all
Rapture (Rapture)
Be pure
Take a tour
Through the sewer
Don't strain your brain
Paint the train
You'll be singing
In the rain
And you don't stop
Do punk rock
Toe to toe
Dancing very close
Body breathing
Almost comatose
Wall to wall
People hypnotised
And they're stepping lightly
And each night in rapture
And now you've seen what you want to be
Just have your party on TV
'Cos the man from mars won't eat up bars
Where the TV's on
And now he's gone back up to space
Where he won't have the hassle with the human race
And you hip hop
Just blast off
Sure shot
'Cos the man from mars has stopped eating cars and Eating bars
And now he only eats guitars
Get up
(Get up)
(Get up)
Rapture
(Human race human race human race human race)
Rapture
Rapture
(Rapture)
Rapture

"Reach Out"

"Reach Out"


Don't walk away
I need you more than words can say
I feel for you
This everlasting flame
My everlasting flame

I will wash away your tears
Through the pain and through the sorrow
Better days are still to come (Better days)
If you would only turn around and

(Reach out) Reach out and touch me
(Reach out) Reach out and hold me
Reach out and touch me (Reach out and touch me)

You feel the rain
I feel the teardrops run down my face
You hide your fear
In everlasting shame
My everlasting flame

We have wasted so much time
So you're saying now it's over
Better days are still to come
Don't turn your back on me now darling

(Reach out) Reach out and touch me (Reach out and touch me)

"Reason"

"Reason"


I couldn't fix my heart 'cause everything was hurting
But I've been growing stronger since you came along
I know that life is precious, gotta make the most of it
Making every second count of every day

You are the food for my soul
The tears in my heart

You are the reason I live
You are the reason that I forgive
The only reason I live
The only reason that I forgive

I always lived my life like some kind of fairytale
'Til you gave it meaning, put my feet on the ground

You are the food for my soul
The tears in my heart

You are the reason I live
You are the reason that I forgive
The only reason I live
The only reason that I forgive

'Cause you give a little love
When I'm all out of it
Never get enough
I scream and shout for it
Give a little love
I'm all over it
Never get enough
I scream and shout for your love
(Shout for your love)
(Shout for your love)
(Shout for the reason that I forgive)

Give a little love
I'm all out of it
Never get enough
Scream and shout for it
Give a little love
I'm all over it
Never get enough
Scream and shout for it

You are the reason I live
You are the reason that I forgive
The only reason I live
The only reason that I forgive

'Cause you give a little love
I'm all out of it
Never get enough
I scream and shout for it
Give a little love
I'm all over it
Never get enough
I scream and shout for your love

"Rescue Me"

"Rescue Me"


Love is cast ornately in your heart flame
Chakra wheels are turning like a love train
I could pray a hundred times
Keep these demons from my mind
Yeah, I could pray a thousand times
Stay in your loving arms entwined
(In your loving arms entwined)
Oh that I should be ever so lonely
Driving the pain right through to my heart
Oh that I should be ever so lonely
Riding the pain like a fool in the dark
We shall blur the lines of definition
Waves of love our only ammunition
Tear my head out from the sound
Throw myself upon the ground (Take me to the burn. In your loving arms)
Take me to the burning tree
It has this strange effect on me (Riding on a train. Baby I could pray)
Oh that I should be ever so lonely
Driving the pain right through to my heart
Oh that I should be ever so lonely (Ever so lonely)
Riding the pain like a fool in the dark (There has to be)
Oh that I should be ever so lonely
Driving the pain right through to my heart (In my heart)
Oh that I should be ever so lonely
Riding the pain like a fool in the dark (There has got to be)
Oh that I should be ever so lonely (And that is you)
Driving the pain right through to my heart
Oh that I should be ever so lonely
Riding the pain like a fool in the dark
Fascination never tasted sweeter
My desire real and soaring freely
You alone can save my soul
You alone are my salvation
You alone can make me whole
Rescue me from condemnation
(You are my salvation)
Oh that I should be ever so lonely
Driving the pain right through to my heart
Oh that I should be ever so lonely (Ever so lonely)
Riding the pain like a fool in the dark (There has to be)
Oh that I should be ever so lonely (Ever so lonely) (And there is)
Driving the pain right through to my heart (There has got to be)
Oh that I should be ever so lonely (And there is) (And there is)
Riding the pain like a fool in the dark
(Riding the pain right through to your heart)
(You've got the love)
(You've got the love)
(You've got the love)
(For you to walk away)
(You got the love)
(You got the love)
(You got the love)
(You got the love)
(You got the love)
(You got the love)
(Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah)
(And that's what it takes for the devil to say)
(I never want to sit in your heart again baby)
(Walk to the lord and never want this day)
(Shake it long and hard girl baby)
