1. When We Were Younger
I think of the people that I used to know
Lovers I can recall, where are they now?
I wonder if anyone still feels the same?
I do remember it all, just yesterday
And all those sunny days always around
Falling around me
I walked down the street where we all used to live
Now there's nothing the same, I've seen it all
And the years have gone by I still know
Still know the story
Sing me the song, everyone laugh
All sing along, right to the back
When we were younger much younger than now
Life was a fast game, we played it somehow
Now I'm much older and time passes by
Maybe the truth was a lie
When we were younger we lived for the day
They seemed much longer but drifted away
Now I'm much older, I don't have to try
There's no one to whisper goodbye
Did all of the dreams that we wanted come true?
Some did, clearly not all, maybe a few
Grown up and gone separate ways to the end
Leaving was friendly
I can't stop my feelings, they're starting to show
Somewhere deep in my soul, I feel it grow
Something keeps taking me back, I don't know
Waiting to call me
Sing me the song, everyone laugh
All sing along, right to the back
When we were younger much younger than now
Life was a fast game, we played it somehow
Now I'm much older and time passes by
Maybe the truth was a lie
When we were younger we lived for the day
They seemed much longer but drifted away
Now I'm much older and I don't have to try
There's no one to whisper goodbye
2. Back Street Kid
He had eyes of the poor, wild and hungry
Stood out side of the store, shy and clumsy
Saw an electric guitar, he got hooked from the start
That's what is did to the back street kid
It's a dangerous game, might come to nothing
Very hard to explain, the pushing and the shoving
Still the sound in his ears and the many lean years
Taught him to live, back street kid
Dream, dream – back street kid
Dream, dream, dream, dream – back street kid
He spends hours on his own, he's still learning
Learns to wait for the phone, ideas burning
And from liberty hall, he will rise or he'll fall
That's how he'll live, the back street kid
Dream, dream – back street kid
Dream, dream, dream, dream – back street kid
He stepped into the rain, cold and empty
Whispered never again, I'm not contented
Walked off into the night, he walked far out of sight
So much to give, the back street kid
Dream, dream – back street kid
Dream, dream, dream, dream – back street kid
3. Out Of The Shadows
There's a chance that they take, thrown in together
And decisions they make out of their hands
There's a nightmare in sight, goes on forever
And no one will take flight, everyone stands
Fifty-thousand lay dead, out of the shadows
Resurrectionists said, "oh what a sight"
And someone will get rich, cheating the gallows
As the scavenger flits all through the night
No one will cry
Everyone's writing their final goodbye
Under the skies of scarlet and black
Thousands of eyes, there's no turning back
Morning draws near, the hour is at hand
Soon to be over when ghosts walk this land
There's a picture to paint, broken and haggard
Propositioned too late, beggar's delight
Riders lay where they fall, bloody and ragged
To their mothers they call, frozen in fright
No one will cry
Everyone's writing their final goodbye
Under the skies of scarlet and black
Thousands of eyes, there's no turning back
Morning draws near, the hour is at hand
Soon to be over when ghosts walk this land
What a surprise, they march off to war
Nothing to give and nothing to score
It seems so clear, the final demand
Waterloo teeth from the ghost of a man
4. Like Brothers We Stand
I never shot no one
You're not my enemy
'Cause I'm a peaceful man
Live till eternity
I'd never steal from you
No one can own this place
My God is strong and true
He'll never fall from grace
We died for this land, so pray for us all
We're pictures in sand, they're closing the door
Hearts have been bled and crashed to the floor
Like brothers we stand, they've fooled us once more
How can you feel at ease?
Look at the things you've done?
You always will deceive
But then your day will come
We died for this land, so pray for us all
We're pictures in sand, they're closing the door
Hearts have been bled and crashed to the floor
Like brothers we stand, they've fooled us once more
The future was planned and now we must crawl
Let justice be damned, they've taken it all
Now things that you read, you've seen it before
Like brothers we stand, they've fooled us once more
They came from a place that's so different
To teach us it all
We welcomed and gave no resistance
But then came the fall
They didn't realise they were strangers
How could they think so small?
5. How Far Jerusalem
They are the victims of the night
Ride against the wind – born to lose the fight
They fill the doorways, they come far
Holding what they bring – details on a card
And on a rainy night like this
Someone shuts the door – goodbye on their lips
They are the victims of the night
Ride against the wind – born to lose the fight
They fill the doorways, they come far
Holding what they bring – details on a card
And on a rainy night like this
Someone shuts the door – goodbye on their lips
There is no charity from where they come
There's nothing left to be
In stark reality thy will be done
For you, for them, for me
How far jerusalem – before the heart breaks down
No kings among them – cold feet in london town
How far jerusalem – oh, broken hearted clown
We stand among them – cold feet in london town
They are in search of liberty's trail
Equal in their eyes – faces drawn and pale
So many hearts have gone before
Probably ignored – crashing to the floor
They are the victims of the night
Ride against the wind – born to lose the fight
There is no charity from where they come
There's nothing left to be
In stark reality thy will be done
For you, for them, for me
How far jerusalem – before the heart breaks down
No kings among them – cold feet in london town
How far jerusalem – oh, broken hearted clown
We stand among them – cold feet in london town
6. Dragons Are Real
I get myself to the top of the stairs
Into my room, to the land of nowhere
And read about all the princes and kings
Soldiers at war doing treacherous things
I've crossed the seas to a different land
Shot through the skies at the wave of a hand
And when I've looked up at castles so tall
Into the clouds, any minute might fall
The dragons are real
I've seen them fly out of the sun
And all the fools will disappear
See them all run
Go take me away, take me away
I've stood alone where the mountains are blue
Watching the world's unbelievable view
A special book makes the child in us cry
Magic in words at the blink of an eye
They dogs they will howl
The jokers will cry, cities will fall
Heroes are gone, villains draw near
I see them all
Go take me away, take me away
The dragons are real
I've seen them fly out of the sun
And all the fools will disappear
See them all run
Go take me away, take me away
7. All England's Eyes
Not forsaken, another heart
They lie taken in foreign parts
Someone breaking another heart
They lie waiting in foreign parts
Old england's skies
Turn black and she cries – wet again
All england's eyes
Turn black and they cry – yet again
Standing over another heart
Winds blow colder in foreign parts
And the nameless, the sacred heart
Come to claim us from foreign parts
Old england's skies
Turn black and she cries – wet again
All england's eyes
Turn black and they cry – yet again
8. Vigilante
Racing in the shadows, the pounding of the feet
While the old men get to praying and the children try to sleep
Just another promise, they don't really care
'Cause the movement on the border's got the people running scared
Standing on the corner, never got things done
If you leave your front door open, you'll be the foolish one
No misunderstanding, no honour among thieves
It's a sorry situation, a gun is all you need
Go call the vigilante
He'll turn this place upside down
Go call the vigilante
He don't get kicked around
Hold on, there's a new way a-coming
Looks like he's arriving tonight
There's no more hiding or running
There's no more walking on ice
Standing on the corner, never got things done
If you leave your front door open, you'll be the foolish one
No misunderstanding, no honour among thieves
It's a sorry situation, a gun is all you need
Go call the vigilante
He'll turn this place upside down
Go call the vigilante
He don't get kicked around
Hold on, there's a new way a-coming
Looks like he's arriving tonight
There's no more hiding or running
There's no more walking on ice
Racing in the shadows, the pounding of the feet
While the old men get to praying and the children try to sleep
Just another promise, they don't really care
'Cause the movement on the border's got the people running scared
Go call the vigilante
He'll turn this place upside down
Go call the vigilante
He don't get kicked around
Hold on, there's a new way a-coming
Looks like he's arriving tonight
There's no more hiding or running
There's no more walking on ice
Vigilante – vigilante man
Vigilante – call the vigilante man
9. Kingdom Of Madness
When the night is on the run and your dreams are almost gone
Seas of fire snatch your soul, beast of morning then unfold
In a whirlpool sadness creeps, shadows walk with silent feet
Is there something in the air, turns your hope into despair?
Oh, kingdom of madness – you've got me undone
Oh, kingdom of madness – you've really begun
Oh, kingdom of madness – you've got me on the run
When the night is on the run and your dreams are almost gone
Seas of fire snatch your soul, beast of morning then unfold
Take your hands away from me, leave my eyes so I can see
It's not pleasure that you seek, you destroy the ones who are weak
Oh, kingdom of madness – you've got me undone
Oh, kingdom of madness – you've really begun
Oh, kingdom of madness – you've got me on the run
The minstrel sings as he looks at me but he doesn't make a sound
And a lovely time is had by all as the jester plays around
Everyone's laughing, everyone's laughing, everyone's laughing but me
Oh, kingdom of madness – you've got me undone
Oh, kingdom of madness – you've really begun
Oh, kingdom of madness – you've got me on the run

11. Days Of No Trust
Pray to they future, look to the past
Face the accuser, freeze in our tracks
When so many children have fallen from grace
The doors should be open, no scorn or disgrace
Keys have been stolen, treasure is lost
Lesson is golden, hearts have been crossed
So here's to the heroes, come one and come all
Without them, well who knows? Who knows at all?
In these days of no trust – evermore hostility
We're all living under the same old sky
'Cause we're all living, we're telling the same old lie
In these days, in these days, in these days of no trust
And music recorded might influence dreams
But headlines are courted by stretch limousines
Pictures of plenty, stuck to the walls
For heads that are empty, brains on the floor
Can't take any more
Someone is shouting revolution is here
But he'll climb any mountain for his selfish career
The truth's not a curtain, to be drawn back and forth
It's a flame that keep burning, everlasting torch
In these days of no trust – evermore hostility
We're all living under the same old sky
'Cause we're all living, we're telling the same old lie
In these days, in these days, in these days of no trust
12. Wild Swan
Wild swan, follow the river, don't fly through dangerous skies
On and on, from bow and quiver, ride over mountains so high
Over fields and the ruin of castles, into the evening we soar
City lights begin to sparkle like diamonds thrown to the floor
Fly home – it's just me and you, your only son
Fly home – I've been waiting to, the time has come
Fly home – it's just me and you, your only son
Fly home – I've been waiting to, the time has come
Wild swan, follow the river, don't fly through dangerous skies
On and on, from bow and quiver, ride over mountains so high
Out to sea on the wings of heaven, where silver cuts like a knife
Say farewell to the ships of the ocean, we travel into the night
Fly home – it's just me and you, your only son
Fly home – I've been waiting to, the time has come
Fly home – it's just me and you, your only son
Fly home – I've been waiting to, the time has come
13. Start Talking Love
Just another broken heart, any fool can see
Though we're living worlds apart, you're still next to me
I'm never going to give you up, never want to make you cry
Never going to give you up, never going to say goodbye
It's just another lonely night, I'm missing you again
Nothing ever turns out right, so when's it going to end?
I'm never going to give you up, never want to make you cry
Never going to give you up, I'm never going to say goodbye
When you start talking love
You know that I'd run through the night
To be with you – talk about love
It's a walk from the dark to the light
To be with you – start talking love
Talk about love
You left me with a broken heart, any fool can see
Now we're living worlds apart, guess it was meant to be
I'm never going to give you up, I never want to make you cry
Never going to give you up, I'm never going to say goodbye
When you start talking love
You know that I'd run through the night
To be with you – talk about love
It's a walk from the dark to the light
To be with you – start talking love
Talk about love
14. One Step Away
See you like the water's edge
The taste of fear is in my heart and in my head
I've never seen a power so strong
Nor silver moon, just like a medal being hung
Feel your touch, your brand of fire
And your magic weave is more than I require
I've never seen this place beyond
I live in this world, yes, I know where I belong
Time has no respect for man's vanity
We hold the keys, we are the caretakers of insanity
We've been down this road before
Learned the lesson, on the surface it's been scored
One step away – away form you
One step away – away form you
Your many faces, I can't trust
I'll walk alone, I'll take my chances, won't be pushed
You promise all the things I need
I'd have to change my ways and all that I believe
Feel your touch, your brand of fire
And your magic weave is more than I require
I've never seen this place beyond
I live in this world, yes, I know where I belong
One step away – away form you
One step away – away form you
15. It Must Have Been Love
Rainy day, stormy night
She couldn't stay, it wasn't right
She never cried, she's very strong
I always tried when it went wrong
It's nothing new, when you lose
But getting through's no pleasure cruise
She never lied, I heard them say
She hit the slide and fell away
Well, it must have been love
That let her down
It must have been love
Pushed her around
Looking for love
She never found
Must have been love
Must have been love
Must have been love
She spends her time on an endless search
And it's a crime, keeps getting hurt
She never learns, takes it day by day
Then she gets burned and turned away
It must have been love
That let her down
It must have been love
Pushed her around and around
Looking for love
She never found
Must have been love
Must have been love
She never learns
Takes it day by day
Then she gets burned
And turned away
It must have been love
That let her down
It must have been love
Pushed her around and around
Looking for love
She never found
Must have been love
Must have been love
Must have been love
16. Different Worlds
On narrow streets old men lie, in the doorway sleeping
While working girls comb their hair, see the young men peeping
Different worlds, only a walk across the street
Different worlds, you never know what you might meet
No stain sheets on your bed tonight, how you feeling?
While running feet always disappear from sirens screaming
Different worlds, only a walk across the street
Different worlds, you never know what you might meet
Some of us take what we want
Some of us take what we need
Some of us break, some of us bleed
Where velvet gloves and your diamond rings lose their meaning
For those we love, if they really care, keep on dreaming
Different worlds, only a walk across the street
Different worlds, you never know what you might meet
Some of us take what we want
Some of us take what we need
Some of us break, some of us bleed
Some of us take what we want
Some of us take what we need
Some of us break, some of us bleed
Different worlds
Only a walk across the street
Different worlds
You never know what you might meet
Some of us take what we want
Some of us take what we need
Some of us break, some of us bleed
17. Pray For The Day
Pray for the day, this city's wall
Concrete for chains, will crumble and fall, pray for the day
On top of the world, nothing breaks in
Cross after cross, they have to dig in, where to begin
Remember at the border
Where the blood ran like water
Murdered for escaping
While the world looked on shaking
On top of the world, nothing breaks in
Cross after cross, they have to dig in, where to begin
And they crowned you with pain and emptied your head
Your rescuers came and left you for dead, now it has to be said
Remember at the border
Where the blood ran like water
Murdered for escaping
While the world looked on shaking
And all across that land...
Keys of freedom jammed...
Remember at the border
Where the blood ran like water
Murdered for escaping
While the world looked on shaking
Pray for the day, this city's wall
Concrete for chains, will crumble and fall
Pray for the day
18. Don't Wake The Lion (Too Old To Die Young)
It was the day that war broke out, everyone seemed excited
While young men boasted and talked of great times
Dark clouds gathered on the maginot line
Sisters and fathers, mothers and sons
All said goodbye, it seemed so much fun
We'll be finished by christmas, back home by the fire
Perish the distance, the bombs and the wire
Don't wake the lion
Don't wake the lion
Don't wake the lion
There's a firework show tonight, everyone's been invited
There's mud on faces with frightened white eyes
And some won't make it through the thunderous noise
Powerful and angry, answer the guns
All through the night, relief never comes
It's a criminal deception, sets man against man
Indicting reflection, a devious plan
Don't wake the lion
Don't wake the lion
Don't wake the lion
Hear what they're saying, come the freeze
You'd better hold on tight
And while you're praying on your knees
Prepare to stand and fight
Someone keeps saying it's written in a book
So keep yourself in line
But you're betraying with every nervous look
That now it's killing time
And from the morning till the night, we try
They said it all would turn out right, but they lied
Yes, they lied
Too old to die young – too big to cry
Too old to die young – to say goodbye
Too old to die young – too big to cry, mama
Too old to die young – to say goodbye
Above the raging, evening sky
Will never be the same
While necks are straining those hidden eyes
Shoot out another flame
And from the morning till the night, we try
They said it all would turn out right, but they lied
Yes, they lied, lied
Too old to die young – too big to cry
Too old to die young – to say goodbye
Too old to die young – too big to cry, mama
Too old to die young – to say goodbye
While the angels sleep tonight, some of us will be hoping
That someone understands who started this fight
Thrown down on foreign shores, so far out of sight
Don't wake the lion
Don't wake the lion
It was the day that war broke out, everyone seemed excited
While young men boasted and talked of great times
Dark clouds gathered, it was a change for all time
Sisters and fathers, mothers and sons
All said goodbye, it seemed so much fun
We'll be finished by christmas, back home by the fire
Perish the distance, the bombs and the wire
Don't wake the lion
Don't wake the lion
Don't wake the lion
19. Sacred Hour
All of my dreams that fell through and had tasted so sour
Take second place in my mind for this one sacred hour
Still I've been moved for so long by this strange fascination
Here, as I stand all alone in complete concentration
Face through the clouds and the gods shine with awe splendour
Rise up and roar, they approve, will they always remember?
I hear the voice of the crowd, it will last forever
Locked in my heart, kept away like a stolen treasure
I can hear them calling
Hear the crowd applauding
If it's real, I like the feeling
If I'm wrong, who am I deceiving?
Night after night it repeats an exciting romance
Shared by us all, though we met by a fleeting half chance
Caught trapped in time, no escape from this powerful dream world
Pleased, though I am to be here, I am lost in the real world
I can hear them calling
Hear the crowd applauding
If it's real, I like the feeling
If I'm wrong, who am I deceiving?
All of my dreams that fell through and had tasted so sour
Take second place in my mind for this one sacred hour
Still I've been moved for so long by this strange fascination
Here, as I stand all alone in complete concentration
I can hear them calling
Hear the crowd applauding
If it's real, I like the feeling
If I'm wrong, who am I deceiving?
In this one sacred hour
