"Kiss & Fly"

"Kiss & Fly"



Was my imagination, or they told me it was there?
But I could see.
Within that situation everything’s a cross to bear.
I feel.

Some are in a coma,
Some are without sight.
You can feel the transformation in their bodies in the night.
Gone translucent, encircled in light

So bring back the lover’s chains.
No letters need reply.
Move over what remains.
Let us go kiss and fly.

Was only one solution that was in my head,
That I could see.
Spiritual confusion so more than I could stand,
I could feel.

Like someone in a coma,
Someone without sight.
Feel it in my body, feel it every night.
Gone translucent, encircled in light.

So bring back the lovers chains.
No need letters need reply.
Move over what remains.
And let us go kiss and fly.

Bring back the lovers arms,
Oh let me go deep inside.
Cool over all remains,
And let us go kiss and fly.

Kiss and fly,
kiss and fly.

I don’t think there’s much to tell you.
I don’t think there’s much to say.
I don’t think there’s much to tell you.
I know that you know so much more

"Kiss The Ground"

"Kiss The Ground"



I'm in a golden temple,
In a bombed out street,
Feel the rough and tumble
Down where the borders meet.
I hear a sandstorm falling
Down where the tears have dried
And there's a west wind calling,
But I get no reply.

And I kiss the ground,
I kiss the ground,
Nothing around.

There is no hidden karma,
There is no sacred plight,
There is no special armour
To take me through the night.

I kiss the ground,
I kiss the ground,
Nothing around,

I kiss the ground.
I kiss the ground,
Nothing around.

Into the space between us,
Into the words that say
That every law demeans us
Then every price you pay.

There is no hidden karma,
There is no sacred plight,
There is no special armour
To take me through the night.

I kiss the ground,
I kiss the ground,
Nothing around,

I kiss the ground.
I kiss the ground,
I kiss the ground,
Nothing around,

I kiss the ground.

There is no manna-mania,
There is no banquet here,
There is only ghettoes.

I kiss the ground.

"Lazy Lately"

"Lazy Lately"



Made them a play
Laid by the sea
A lifetime of promises
Translated to me
It's been hard, hard, hard
It's been so hard
Easy to place easy to fake
When I don't know about
You know you'll be strong
Shes far too young
If you got something to say
It's easy to know
That you'll find me awake
Leave me alone
Heat of a gun
Leads me to know, you've been
Lazy lately, lazily
Lazy lately, lazily

Laid by the plain
Raised by the sea
Feels like a hologram, a halo over me
It's been high, high high
Getting oh so high
Raised by love
Faced by the sea
A scene all alone
So I know why you come
It's been high, high
Getting oh so high
If you got something to say
It's easy to know that
You'll find me awake
Leave me alone
The heat of a gun
Leads me to know, you've been
Lazy lately, lazily
If you got something to say
See me alone
You can find me awake
Leave me alone
The heat of a gun
Leads me to know, you've been
Lazy lately, lazily
Lazy lately, lazily
If you got something to say
Lazy lately
Lazy lately, lazily
Lazy lately, lazily
Lazy lately, lazily
Lazy lately, lazily
Lazy lately, lazily
Lazy lately, lazily
Lazy lately, lazily

"Let It All Come Down"

"Let It All Come Down"



So let it all come, let it all come down
Let it all come, let it all come down
Sweet tears roll like a river from your eyes
Get close let's sleep tonight
When you wake there's a new day dawning
When you wake there's a cold wind blowing
When day breaks there's a light shines through

I'm still here with you when the morning comes
I need you with me when the day begins

Oh let it all come, let it all come down
Why don't you let it all come, let it all come down

All is in control, love is on the open road
Make me want to live, you make me want to die

When you wake there's a new day dawning
When you wake there's a cold wind blowing
When day breaks there's a light shining through

Oh let it all come, let it all come down

"Let The Children Speak"

"Let The Children Speak"



Time - way out of line
A whole nation waits outside
The rhythm of tomorrow
They can dance away their sorrows tonight
Lost - broken and scarred
Prisoner waits outside with his lone heart beating
Let the children, let the children
Let the children, let the children speak
Let the children - let the children speak
Aims - dangerous games
Their mother says one false move and we all get hurt
I feel this sense of power I feel it every hour tonight

Let's not get lazy tonight
Things could get crazy cos
One more kick and the door cracks open
Let the children, let the children
Let the children, let the children speak

Let the children, let the children
Let the children, let the children
Power to the powerless strength unto the weak
Let the children, let the children
Let the children, let the children speak
I'm begging you now Let the children, let the children
Let the children, let the children
Power to the powerless, strength unto the weak
Let the children, let the children
Let the children, let the children speak

Let's not get lazy tonight
Things could get crazy cos
One last kick and the door cracks open
Let the children, let the children
Let the children, let the children speak

Power to the powerless, strength unto the weak
Let the children, let the children
Let the children, let the children speak
Things could get crazy tonight
Let's not get lazy cos
One last kick and the door cracks open
Let the children, let the children
Let the children, let the children speak
I'm begging you now
Let the children, let the children
Let the children, let the children
Power to the powerless, strength unto the weak
Let the children, let the children
Let the children, let the children speak
The language of this world
Let's not get lazy cos
One false move and we all get hurt
Let the children, let the children
Let the children, let the children speak

The language of this world
Things could get crazy

"Let The Day Begin"

"Let The Day Begin"



Here's to the babies in a brand new world
Here's to the beauty of the stars
Here's to the travellers on the open road
Here's to the dreamers in the bars

Here's to the teachers in the crowded rooms
Here's to the workers in the fields
Here's to the preachers of the sacred words
Here's to the drivers at the wheel

Here's to you my little loves with blessings from above
Now let the day begin
Here's to you my little loves with blessings from above
Now let the day begin, let the day begin

Here's to the winners of the human race
Here's to the losers in the game
Here's to the soldiers of the bitter war
Here's to the wall that bears their names

Here's to you my little loves with blessings from above
Now let the day begin
Here's to you my little loves with blessings from above
Let the day begin, let the day begin, let the day start

Here's to the doctors and their healing work
Here's to the loved ones in their care
Here's to the strangers on the streets tonight
Here's to the lonely everywhere

Here's to the wisdom from the mouths of babes
Here's to the lions in the cage
Here's to the struggles of the silent war
Here's to the closing of the age.

Here's to you my little loves with blessings from above
Now let the day begin
Here's to you my little loves with blessings from above
Let the day begin

Here's to you my little loves with blessings from above
Let the day begin
Here's to you my little loves with blessings from above
Now let the day begin, let the day begin, let the day start

"Let There Be Love"

"Let There Be Love"



Secrets of lovers
Whisper tonight
Broken down angel
Got lost in the cold daylight
The city is screaming
And I look for your eyes
Someone to lean on through the night
Your music talks to me and hits me tonight
One candle burning, I hear your voice say

So let there be love
Let there be love
Love
Let there be love

It heals and it hurts
She leads you to heaven's door
And leaves you for dirt

Someone to lean on, that's your own
Some magic conquers me and lives in my soul,
She comes like an ocean and I hear you sing
Love will conquer anything

So let it be love
Let it be love
Love
Let it be love

The wall's down
They're coming down
I can't slow
I know it now
So stay now
Hold on
And I'm praying

So let it be love
Let it be love
Love
Let it be love

I know what I want
I know what I feel
I know what I want

So let there be love
So let there be love
Let there be love

"Life In A Day"

"Life In A Day"



Life In A Day
The price that you pay
For time that you spent
It's such a fatal event
Take a look at your watch
There is no time to wait
Take a look deep inside
There's no escape from this day

Life In A Day
Life In A Day
Take a look around you
Is it true what they say
Life In A Day
Life In A Day
Is there no place to hide
Could there be some other way

Can you see how they run
Do you believe what they say
They'll soon be looking for you
For sure they'll get you away
The premonition came true
Look all around and you'll see
Some say it takes two to know
Or could it all just be me

Life In A Day
Life In A Day
I love to see how they run
They came a running this way
Life In A Day
Life In A Day
No sense in looking for you
They're going to get you one day

Life In A Day
Life In A Day

"Light Travels"

"Light Travels"



Light travels through the universe.
It arrives.
It remains.
Things get better after things get worse.
I feel the same.
Nothing’s changed.
Nothing’s changed.

Words unravel out of all of us.
They arise.
They refrain.
Things get better after things get worse.
I feel the same.
Nothing's changed.

But there’s no need to worry.
Hello, hello, is anybody home?
But there’s no need to worry,
Hello, hello, see them come,
See them go,
See them go!

Light travels through the universe.
It arrives.
It remains.
Things get better after things get worse.
I feel the same.
Nothing’s changed.

But there’s no need to worry.
Hello, hello, is anybody home?
But there’s no need to worry.
Hello, hello, see them come, see them go.
But there’s no need to worry.
Hello, hello, is anybody home?
But there’s no need to worry.
Hello, hello, oh!

Hello, hello.
Hello, hello.
Hello, hello, oh!

Hello, hello.
Hello, hello.
Hello, hello, oh!

Light travels through the universe
