1. Rockin' Chair
You want love – you get hate
You push and shove, you know you just can't wait
You've had your fun, you don't fool no one
You build it up – to tear it down
You're running out of luck, I won't get kicked around
I could drive all night till you're out of sight
Hide and seek – turning on the heat
Running like a cadillac (like a cadillac)
I'm so sick and tired – you're a damn dirty liar
When I run, I said I ain't coming back
Oh, you better beware
Keep on rocking this house, baby, I don't care
Breaking out this jailhouse, going nowhere
I ain't ready for no rockin' chair
When you came – you play rough
Now I know your game and you ain't tough enough
Don't know what you've done 'cause you ain't begun
You fool with me – you're going to lose
You've got to understand that you don't get to choose
When night comes around I can't be found
Hide and seek – turning on the heat
Running like a cadillac (like a cadillac)
I'm so sick and tired – you're a damn dirty liar
When I run, I said I ain't coming back
Oh, you better beware
Keep on rocking this house, baby, I don't care
Breaking out this jailhouse, going nowhere
I ain't ready for no rockin' chair
Red sky burning – won't be no returning – so long
Fire up the motor – don't you get no closer – I'm gone
Oh, you better beware
Keep on rocking this house, baby, I don't care
Breaking out this jailhouse, going nowhere
I ain't ready for no rockin' chair
I don't need no rockin' chair
I don't want no rockin' chair
I don't need no rockin' chair
I don't want no rockin' chair
2. 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
3. C'est La Vie
Learn the secrets of kings and queens
Famous lovers interpret dreams
Powerful nations return to the dust
Fearful passion on pride and lust
Trace the borders, so many lines
Maps and orders, land for our lives
Wild adventures and daring escapes
Paid assassins and the widows they make
Sail away, say goodbye
C'est la vie – don't you cry
Sail away, say goodbye
C'est la vie – don't you cry
Sound of fury, their battle cry
Brave or crazy, they surely will die
Another child lies in his mother's arms
Warm and cosy, no need for alarm
Don't be alarmed
Cold and ragged with icy feet
On these supposed golden streets
Where eyes pillage the answers of time
Rise determined to answer their cry
Sail away, say goodbye
C'est la vie – don't you cry
Sail away, say goodbye
C'est la vie – don't you cry
4. Heartbroke And Busted
What you going to do on your own?
Even wonder should you ever go home
Here come those feelings, can't be right
You think nobody's going to miss you tonight
Mistrusted, heartbroke and busted
So where's the justice...
Going to be all right when love comes around
No hurricane wind blowing could slow you down
You'll be all right when love comes around
You say that you've never known
The kind of love that gets down deep in your soul
You're still reeling from the fight
You wouldn't know it, if it hit you tonight
Mistrusted, heartbroke and busted
So where's the justice...
Going to be all right when love comes around
No hurricane wind blowing could slow you down
You'll be all right when love comes around
And I will never know the questions you're asking
I know nothing at all
How can you stand upon the judgement you're passing
When you don't even know the cause?
Mistrusted, heartbroke and busted
So where's the justice...
Going to be all right when love comes around
No hurricane wind blowing could slow you down
You'll be all right when love comes around
5. On A Storyteller's Night
There's a storm lamp on the table
Throwing shadows to the gable
And you swallow if you're able
On a storyteller's night
From the poorhouse, chimes indifferent
Seven towers, seven sisters
Every black heart walks the distance
On a storyteller's night
Try to sleep on your pillow and dream
Sleep, all god's children to keep
Though we all lose track of time
Disappears like faded lines
Keep your nightlight burning – I'll come through wind and rain
Keep your nightlight burning – I'll be with you once again
There's a chill wind at your back door
And the fire cracks on the damp floor
You hear footsteps but you're not sure
On a storyteller's night
See the night sky supernova
Chase the cold moon passing over
Start the dragon's fire to smoulder
On a storyteller's night
Try to sleep on your pillow and dream
Sleep, all god's children to keep
Though we all lose track of time
Disappears like faded lines
Keep your nightlight burning – I'll come through wind and rain
Keep your nightlight burning – I'll be with you once again
Keep your nightlight burning – I'll come through wind and rain
Keep your nightlight burning – I'll be with you once again
Try to sleep on your pillow and dream
Sleep, all god's children to keep
Though we all lose track of time
Disappears like faded lines
Keep your nightlight burning – I'll come through wind and rain
Keep your nightlight burning – I'll be with you once again
Keep your nightlight burning – I'll come through wind and rain
Keep your nightlight burning – I'll be with you once again
6. 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
7. Mama
I've seen plenty of trouble
Never been any different, I know
You've got to run on the double
Keep your eye on the chariot low
Mama let your garden grow
Mama let your garden grow
I've seen plenty of trouble
Never been any different, I know
You've got to run on the double
Keep your eye on the chariot low
Mama let your garden grow
Can't fall down, never give in
A lucky star could be following you
You've got to show a little giving
Every day when it's possible to
Mama make my grey sky blue
Just keep those wheels turning
And keep your love burning
If I'm running wild, follow me
Maybe we're still learning
Sometimes we're still hurting
Just like a child comfort me
We grew up by the mountain
Dirty marks in the palm of our hands
We got the eye for accounting
We got the pain of a family man
Mama help us all you can
Just keep those wheels turning
And keep your love burning
If I'm running wild, follow me
Maybe we're still learning
Sometimes we're still hurting
Just like a child comfort me
8. Lonely Night
I'm looking for someone in this old crazy world tonight
I can't take this heartbreak in this old crazy world tonight
I'm feeling so empty in this old lonely world tonight
I'm restless, defenceless in this unholy world tonight
Oh, I never learn
Oh, lonely night – disappear
Oh, lonely night – don't you come round here
Oh, lonely night – lonely, lonely night
I'm waiting for something to put these foolish things to right
Protected, accepted, I need it now, I need it right
I'm feeling so empty in this old lonely world tonight
I'm restless, defenceless in this unholy world tonight
For love we burn, we never learn, we never learn
Oh, lonely night – disappear from my door
Oh, lonely night – don't you come round here no more
Oh, lonely night – disappear from my door
Oh, lonely night – don't you come round here no more
9. Crying Time
You're old enough to stand and face the truth, through all this crying
Has a little bit of kindness shaken you, so you keep on trying (keep on)
Your eyes are like the windows to your soul, through all this dying
As adventures shared by many young and old, so you keep on trying
Till the tears come falling down
It's crying time, it's crying time
It's crying time, it's crying time
It's crying time, those tears don't lie
Those tears you cry, those tears you cry
However things uncertain might appear, don't walk it, blindness
And a single word of magic in your ear, lights up inside us (light up)
On many nights your step is strong and sure, so close behind us
Cried out for help, from many distant shore, soon reminds us
And the tears come falling down, falling down
It's crying time, it's crying time
It's crying time, it's crying time
It's crying time, those tears don't lie
Those tears you cry, those tears you cry
10. Midnight (You Won't Be Sleeping)
I know how it feels to cry but it's only lovers
Know the reason why they stay together
And when your time has come, you'll soon discover
Look at what you've done, could be forever
Your open arms say everything, you're always there
It seems I might be here all night
I'll light a candle bright, to show your way tonight
Midnight, you won't be sleeping, I won't be leaving
Off with my foolish pride, too much in trouble
Never could decide, always a struggle
Now I know how it feels to cry, it's only lovers
Know the reason why they stay together
Your open arms say everything, you're always there
It seems I might be here all night
I'll light a candle bright, to show your way tonight
Midnight, you won't be sleeping, I won't be leaving
11. 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
12. 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
13. 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
14. Just Like An Arrow
We talk endlessly don't get anywhere
Born in reality cradled in care
If you needed me or mistreated me
Won't you still be there
And those lonely nights when you find it hard
Losing your appetite breaking apart
If you needed me or mistreated me
Don't break my heart
It goes deep my love only for you
Just like an arrow
It goes deep my love only for you
Just like an arrow
Straight through your heart
15. When The World Comes Down
Hiding somewhere out of sight, you all right
Feeling, pulled from left to right, you all right
You're been alone again tonight, no one has called
If they had known, I think they might, 'cause you've got it all
There are times it's hard to swallow
When the world comes down on you
May it shine on you tomorrow
And your dreams, they all come true
I hear you crying to yourself, that's not right
And I know you, you need somebody's help for tonight
But you sit alone, turn off your light, feeling so small
You should have known how well you might, you've got it all
There are times it's hard to swallow
When the world comes down on you
May it shine on you tomorrow
And your dreams, they all come true
