"The Kick Inside Of Me"

"The Kick Inside Of Me"



You put the storm out, that's up in my head
You put the call out
Beside of me, kick up inside of me
And you steal the world and live to survive
And shake out the ghosts and then you turn around
In spite of me, kick up inside of me

One for the first time
Two for the last time
Three for the thrill and
Four for the last time
As far as I can see, you're gonna
Move deep deeper deep inside of me
Kick away my life kick away
You put the fear in me, kick away, kick away
As far as I can see you move deep deep inside of me
Take me away, take me away, up to another day
Open up the way, lead me away in the pouring rain
In the pouring rain

You put the storm out, that's up in my head
You put the call out
Beside of me, kick up inside of me
And we steal the world and live to survive
Shake out the ghosts and turn around
In spite of me, shake up the ghosts inside of me
One for the first time, two for the last time
Three for the thrill, and four for the last time
As far as I can see, you're gonna
Move deep deeper deep inside of me

Take me away, ah ah ah until another day
Take me away, kick away
As far as I can see you put the fear inside of me
Kick away

"The Man Who Sold The World"

"The Man Who Sold The World"



We passed upon the stair, we spoke of was and when
Although I wasn't there, he said I was his friend
Which came as some surprise I spoke into his eyes
I thought you died alone, a long long time ago
Oh no, not me
I never lost control
You're face to face
With The Man Who Sold The World

I laughed and shook his hand, and made my way back home
I searched for form and land, for years and years I roamed
I gazed a gazely stare at all the millions here
We must have died alone, a long, long time ago

Who knows? Not me
We never lost control
You're face to face
With the Man who Sold the World

"The Needle And The Damage Done"

"The Needle And The Damage Done"



I caught you knocking at my cellar door
I love you, baby, "Can I have some more?"
Oh, the damage done
I hit the city and I lost my band,
I watched the needle take another man.
Gone, gone, the damage done

I sing the song because I love the man
I know that some of you don't understand
Milk-blood to keep from running out

I've seen the needle and the damage done,
A little part of it in everyone
But every junkie's like a setting sun

"Thirty Frames A Second"

"Thirty Frames A Second"



Today I saw a film going backwards
Thirty Frames A Second
Was a man I recognised
Say who you are

I lost my job
Security
Self confidence
Bank account
Identity

The league of youth
Coming backward at me
Thirty Frames a second
Say who you are

Go back to father
Father where's my food?
You food is on the table
That can't be food
It's dirt

Say who you are

Look at my skin
Look at my face
Look at my arms
Getting younger
Going backwards
Thirty Frames A Second
Say who you are

I crash my car
Collapse in town
Young immigrants
And legionaires
Fighting back back backwards
Thirty Frames A Second
Say who you are

Some friends of mine
I thought were dead
A coming back
"What are you doing coming back
Jack"

Say who you are
Feel I'm going backwards
Thirty Frames A Second

"This Earth That You Walk Upon"

"This Earth That You Walk Upon"



What's your name
What's your nation
Sense of order
Sense of speed
Earth that you walk upon
Shakes his hand
Turns away
Turns his back and walks away
Earth that you walk upon
Earth that you walk upon

What's your name
What's your nation
Sense of order
Sense of speed

Earth that you walk upon
Passing on and on
Earth that you walk upon

Screaming edge of light
Shines so shines so hard
Earth that you walk upon
Turning on

"This Fear Of Gods"

"This Fear Of Gods"



Someone singing in the shower
Someone singing in the shower
Singing singing singing
Singing shower
Someone's singing in the shower

I hear a voice and hear no angel
I hear a voice and hear no angel
Hero see no hero see no
Hero see no
Hear and see no
Hear a voice and see no angel

Violence and vivisection
Violence and vivisection
Lust lust lust
Lust lust lust
Violence and vivisection
Gods
Gods
This fear of Gods

Some boys are calling
Boys are crying
Some boys are calling
Boys are crying
Calling calling calling
Crying
Calling calling calling
Crying

Fear is fast
I'm turning white now
Fear is fast
I'm turning white now
Faster faster faster
Faster faster faster
Fear is fast
I'm turning white now
Gods
Gods
This fear of Gods

I'm back on black
Fear of Gods
Back on black

"This Is It"

"This Is It"



When the feelings come to me once again
I still hear the words they're saying
And when I'm wondering if I can step in
I'll take comfort in the sounds that's playing

'Cause when I am feeling fine don't wanna walk away
Don't wanna lose myself, no matter what I say
There is a game in town, this is it
They call it the new change

And when the feelings rise pulling me off my knees
I won't be scared of it 'cause I can't believe
There is a game in town, this is it
They call it the new change

And when I'm pleading but I can't get in
No one's listening to a word I am saying
There is no reason why we can't begin
Broken hearts are congregating

'Cause when the feeling's fine and the world steps in
I'll organize myself, I'll get my mind moving
There is a game in town, this is it
They call it the new change

And when I'm running scared and I can't resist
I'll organize myself with all the chances missed
There is a game in town, this is it
They call it the new change

And when I'm running scared and I can't resist
I'll organize myself for all the chances missed
There is a game in town, this is it
They call it the new change

This is it, this is it, this is it
They call it the new change
This is it, this is it, this is it
They call it the new change
This is it, this is it, this is it
They call it the new change

"This Is Your Land"

"This Is Your Land"



This is your land
It's the way it was planned
Sky to the sea, something to see
Old ancient town, to the old people ground
I wanna know, something to go
This is your land, laid out in your hand
This is your land
Wherever I go, way down here I know
This is your land
Oh churches and steeples, big city people
I wanna know something to hold
Walk down the track, to the old railroad track
I wanna leave something to see
This is your land, laid out in your hand
This is your land
Wherever I go, way down here I know
This is your land

Money can't buy me
Money can't buy me
I've got time
Time is on my side

You don't know what you've got till the whole thing's gone
The days are dark and the road is long

And when you walk away, the hope is gone
Tell me what is right, and what is wrong

Is this the way it was planned
This is your land, take it in your hand
This is your land
Wherever I go, way down here I know
This is your land, take it in your hand
This is your land
Wherever I go, way down here I know
This is your land

"This Time"

"This Time"



What you gonna do about it
How you gonna live without it
Some of us are getting proud
And I don't know if that's allowed
People just can't forget it
This time!
Some of us are getting strong
Never want to wait too long
This time
And now I want to get away
I know what I want and I say what I say
Never want to live without it
This time!

And when the feelings show
I need the time to know
If I'm goin' to get it right
And when the feelings show
I need the faith to know
Well I don't know if I've got the message right

People can't get by without it
This time
Love is gonna get requited
This time
Some of us are getting strong
And I don't know if that's so wrong
Never want to wait to get it
This time

And when the feelings show
Tell me do you know
It I'm gonna get it right
When the light go low
Tell me do you know
Oh, I need to know
If I'm gonna get it right

People go to war to get it
This time
The devil called, better forget it
This time
Never gonna say that's wrong
Cos all I know I can't be wrong
Never go to bed without it
This time

Living in a street ain't easy
This time
Never gonna get it easy
This time

"Today I Died Again"

"Today I Died Again"



The human drum
Beats a rhythm of life
The clothes he wears
Date back to the war
He talks alot
Often to himself
She don't say much
Just cuts his hair
She can't remember
Before the heat
He can't remember
His wife's christian name
Paint me a picture
Towers in sand
America can fall

Today I died again
I died again
I died today
Today I died again
I died again
I died today

Back to a year
Back to a youth
Of men in church and drug cabarets
Is this the age
Of empires and dance
Oh what a world
Oh what a world
She can't remember
Before this heat
He can't remember
His wife's christian name
Paint me a picture
Bodies in sand
Presidents can fall

Today I died again
I died again
I died today
Today I died again
I died again
I died today
