I'm ready... Ready for the laughing gas.
I'm ready... Ready for what's next.
Ready to duck. Ready to dive.
Ready to say I'm glad to be alive.
I'm ready... Ready for the push.
In the cool of the night. In the warmth of the breeze.
I'll be crawling around on my hands and knees.
She's just down the line... Zoo Station
Got to make it on time... Zoo Station
I'm ready... Ready for the gridlock.
I'm ready... To take it to the street.
Ready for the shuffle. Ready for the deal.
Ready to let go of the steering wheel.
I'm ready... Ready for the crush.
Alright, alright, alright, alright, alright.
It's alright...it's alright...it's alright..it's alright.
Hey baby...hey baby...hey baby...hey baby...
It's alright. It's alright.
Time is a train. Makes the future the past.
Leaves you standing in the station
Your face pressed up against the glass.
I'm just down the line from your love... Zoo Station
Under the sign of your love... Zoo Station
I'm gonna be there... Zoo Station
Tracing the line... Zoo Station
I'm gonna make it on time... make it on time... Zoo Station
Just two stops down the line... Zoo Station
Even Better Than The Real Thing
Give me one more chance and you'll be satisfied
Give me two more chances, you won't be denied.
Well my heart is where it's always been.
My head is somewhere in between.
Give me one more chance, let me be your lover tonight.
(Check it out)
You're the real thing. Yeah the real thing.
You're the real thing. Even better than the real thing.
Give me one last chance and I'm gonna make you sing.
Give me half a chance to ride on the waves that you bring.
You're honey child to a swarm of bees.
Gonna blow right through you like a breeze.
Give me one last chance. We'll slide down the surface of things.
You're the real thing. Yeah the real thing.
You're the real thing. Even better than the real thing.
We're free to fly the crimson sky.
We're free to fly the crimson sky.
The sun won't melt our wings tonight.
Oh now... Here she comes.
Take me higher. Take me higher.
Can you take me higher?
Will you take me higher?
You're the real thing. Yeah the real thing.
You're the real thing. Even better than the real thing.
Even better than the real thing. Even better than the real thing.
Is it getting better... Or do you feel the same.
Will it make it easier on you... Now you got someone to blame.
You say...
One love.
One life.
When it's one need...In the night.
It's one love.
We get to share it.
It leaves you baby.
If you don't care for it.
Did I disappoint you? Or leave a bad taste in your mouth?
You act like you never had love... And you want me to go without.
Well it's too late...Tonight...
To drag the past out...Into the light.
We're one... But we're not the same.
We get to carry each other...Carry each other.
One
Have you come here for forgiveness?
Have you come to raise the dead?
Have you come here to play Jesus...To the lepers in your head?
Did I ask too much?
More than a lot?
You gave me nothing.
Now it's all I got.
We're one...But we're not the same.
We hurt each other...Then we do it again.
You say...
Love is a temple. Love a higher law.
Love is a temple. Love the higher law
You ask me to enter...But then you make me crawl
And I can't be holding on...To what you got...
When all you got is hurt
One love.
One blood.
One life.
You got to do what you should.
One life...
With each other.
Sisters.
Brothers.
One life...
But we're not the same.
We get to carry each other.
Carry each other.
One.
One.
Haven't seen you in quite a while.
I was down the hold, just passing time
Last time we met was a low-lit room.
We were as close together as bride and groom
We ate the food, we drank the wine.
Everybody having a good time...Except you.
You were talking about the end of the world.
I took the money, I spiked your drink.
You miss too much these days if you stop to think.
You led me on with those innocent eyes.
And you know I love the element of surprise.
In the garden I was playing the tart.
And you don't know where you've been
I kissed your lips and broke your heart.
You, you were acting like it was the end of the world.
In my dream I was drowning my sorrows.
But my sorrows they learned to swim.
Surrounding me, going down on me.
Spilling over the brim.
In waves of regret, waves of joy.
I reached out for the one I tried to destroy.
You, you said you'd wait until the end of the world.
(For Wim Wenders)
You're dangerous, 'cos you're honest.
You're dangerous, 'cos you don't know what you want.
Well you left my heart
Empty as a vacant lot
For any spirit to haunt.
Hey hey sha la la
Hey hey
You're an accident...Waiting to happen.
You're a piece of glass...Left there on the beach.
Well you tell me things...
I know you're not supposed to.
Then you leave me...Just out of reach.
Hey hey sha la la
Hey hey sha la la la
Who's gonna ride your wild horses?
Who's gonna drown in your blue sea?
Who's gonna ride your wild horses?
Who's gonna fall at the foot of thee?
Well you stole it, 'Cos I needed the cash.
And you killed it, 'Cos I needed revenge.
Well you lied to me, 'Cos I asked you to.
Baby...can we still be friends?
Hey hey sha la la
Hey hey sha la la la
Who's gonna ride your wild horses?
Who's gonna drown in your blue sea?
Who's gonna ride your wild horses?
Who's gonna fall at the foot of thee?
The deeper I spin.
The hunter will sin ... for your ivory skin.
Took a drive in the dirty rain...
To a place where the wind calls your name.
Under the trees the river laughing...
At you and me...
Halluijah, heavens white rose.
The doors you open...
I just can't close.
Don't turn around. Don't turn around.
Don't turn around. Your gypsy heart.
Don't turn around. Don't turn around again.
Don't turn around. And don't look back.
Come on now love...Don't you look back.
Who's gonna ride your wild horses?
Who's gonna drown in your blue sea?
Who's gonna taste your salt water kisses?
Who's gonna take the place of me?
Who's gonna ride your wild horses?
Who could tame the heart of thee?
We crossed the line.
Who pushed who over?
It doesn't matter to you.
It matters to me.
We're cut adrift...
But still floating.
I'm only hanging on...
To watch you go down...my love.
I disappeared in you.
You disappeared from me.
I gave you everything you ever wanted.
It wasn't what you wanted.
The men who love you, you hate the most.
They pass through you like a ghost.
They look for you but your spirit is in the air.
Baby...you're nowhere.
You say in love there are no rules.
Sweetheart...You're so cruel.
Desparation is a tender trap.
It gets you every time.
You put your lips to her lips...
To stop the lie.
Her skin is pale like God's only dove.
Screams like an angel for your love.
Then she makes you watch her from above.
And you need her like a drug.
You say in love there are no rules.
Sweetheart...You're so cruel.
She wears my love...
Like a see-through dress.
Her lips say one thing.
Her movements something else.
Oh love...Like a screaming flower.
Love...Dying every hour.
And you don't know if it's fear or desire.
Danger of a drug that takes you higher?
Head of heaven...Fingers in the mire.
Her heart is racing... you can't keep up.
The night is bleeding like a cut.
Between the horses of love and lust...
We are trampled underfoot.
You say in love there are no rules.
Sweetheart...You're so cruel.
To stay with you I'd be a fool.
Sweetheart...You're so cruel.
I need some freedom
It's no secret that the stars are falling from the sky.
It's no secret that our world is in darkness tonight.
They say the sun is sometimes eclipsed by a moon.
Y'know I don't see you when she walks in the room.
It's no secret that a friend is someone who lets you help.
It's no secret that a liar won't believe anyone else.
They say a secret is something you tell one other person...
So I'm telling you... child.
Low Voice
Gospel Voice
A man will beg. Love we shine like a
A man will crawl. Burning star.
On the sheer face of love We're fallin' from
Like a fly on a wall. The
sky.... tonight.
It's no secret at all.
It's no secret that a conscience can sometimes be a pest.
It's no secret ambition bites the nails of success.
Every artist is a cannibal. Every poet is a thief.
All kill their inspiration and sing about the grief.
Low Voice
Gospel Voice
A man will rise.
Love we shine like a
A man will fall.
Burning star.
From the sheer face of love We're fallin' from
Like a fly from a wall. The
sky.... tonight.
It's no secret at all.
Oh yeah...
It's no secret that the stars are falling from the sky.
The universe exploding 'cosa one man's lie.
Look I gotta go.
Yeah I'm running outta change.
I want some freedom
There's a lot of things...
If I could I'd rearrange.
Johnny toke a walk With your sister the moon.
Let her pale light in To fill up your room.
You've been living underground...Eating from a can.
You've been running away From what you don't understand.
She's slippy.
Your're sliding down.
She'll be there...
When you hit the ground.
It's alright...it's alright...it's alright.
She moves in mysterious ways.
It's alright...it's alright...it's alright.
She moves in mysterious ways.
Johnny take a dive With your sister in the rain.
Let her talk about the things You can't explain.
To touch is to heal. To hurt is to steal.
If you want to kiss the sky...
Better learn how to kneel (...on your knees boy!)
She's the wave.
She turns the tide.
She sees the man inside the child.
It's alright...it's alright...it's alright.
She moves in mysterious ways.
It's alright...it's alright...it's alright.
She moves in mysterious ways.
It's alright...it's alright...it's alright.
She moves in mysterious ways.
It's alright...it's alright...it's alright.
Lift my days...light up my nights.
One day you'll look back and you'll see
Where you were held how by this love.
While you could stand there
And not move on this moment.
Follow this feeling.
It's alright...it's alright...it's alright.
She moves in mysterious ways.
It's alright...it's alright...it's alright.
We move through miracle days.
Spirit moves in mysterious ways.
She moves with it. She woves with it.
Lift my days and light up my nights.
6.00 in the morning
You're the last to hear the warning
You've been trying to throw your arms around the world
You've been falling off the sidewalk
Your lips move but you can't talk
Tryin' to throw your arms around the world
I'm gonna run to you...run to you...be still
I'm gonna run to you...run to you...woman I will
Sunrise like a nosebleed
Your head hurts and you can't breathe
You been tryin' to throw you arms around the world
How far you gonna go
Before you lose your way back home?
You've been trying to throw your arms around the world
I'm gonna run to you...run to you...woman be still
I'm gonna run to you...run to you...woman I will
I dreamed that I saw Dali with a supermarket trolley
He was trying to throw his arms around a girl
He took an open top beetle through the eye of a needle
He was tryin' to throw his arms around the world
I'm gonna run to you...run to you...woman be still
I'm gonna run to you...run to you...woman I will
Nothin' much to say I guess
Just the same as all the rest
Been trying to throw your arms around the world
A woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle
When you're tryin' to throw your arms around the world
I'm gonna run to you...run to you
I'm gonna run to you...run to you
I'm gonna run to you...run to you
Woman be still...woman be still
Be still...woman be still
Woman I will
Sometimes I feel like I don't know
Sometimes I feel like checkin' out
I want to get it wrong
Can't always be strong
And love it won't be long...
Oh sugar, don't you cry
Oh child, wipe the tears from your eyes
You know I need you to be strong
And the day is as dark as the night is long
Feel like trash
You make me feel clean
I'm in the black
Can't see or be seen
Baby Baby Baby light my way
You bury your treasure where it can't be found
But your love is like a secret that's been passed around
There is a silence that comes to a house where no one can sleep
I guess it's the price of love
I know it's not cheap
Baby Baby Baby light my way
I remember when we could sleep on stones
Now we lie together in whispers and moans
When I was all messed up
And I heard opera in my head
Your love was a light bulb
Hanging over my bed
Baby Baby Baby
Baby Baby Baby
Baby Baby Baby light my way
Baby Baby Baby
Baby Baby Baby
Baby Baby Baby light my way
Don't believe what you hear
Don't believe what you see
If you just close your eyes
You can feel the enemy
When I first met you girl
You had fire in your soul
What happened your face
Of melting in snow?
Now it looks like this!
And you can swallow
Or you can spit
You can throw it up
Or choke on it
And you can dream
So dream out loud
You know that your time is coming 'round
...don't let the bastards grind you down
No nothing makes sense
Nothing seems to fit
I know you'd hit out
If you only knew who to hit
And I'd join the movement
If there was one I could believe in
Yeah I'd break bread and wine
If there was a church I could receive in
'Cos I need it now
To take a cup
To fill it up
To drink it slow
I Can't let you go
And I must be
An acrobat
To talk like this
And act like that
And you can dream
So dream out loud
...don't let the bastards grind you down
What are we doing to do now it's all been said?
No new ideas in the house, and every book has been read
And I must be
An acrobat
To talk like this
And act like that
And you can dream
So dream out loud
And you can find
Your own way out
You can build
And I can will
And you can call
I can't wait until
You can stash
And you can seize
In dreams begin
Responsibilities
And I can love
And I can love
I know that the tide is turning 'round
...don't let the bastards grind you down
Love is blindness
I don't want to see
Won't you wrap the night around me
Take my heart
Love is blindness
In a parked car
In a crowded street
You see your love made complete
Thread is ripping
The knot is slipping
Love is blindness
Love is clockworks
And cold steel
Fingers to numb to feel
Squeeze the handle
Blow out the candle
Love is blindness
Love is blindness
I don't want to see
Won't you wrap the night around me
Oh my love... Blindness
A little death without mourning
No call and no warning
Baby...a dangerous idea
That almost makes sense
Love is drowning in a deep well
All the secrets and no one to tell
Take the money...Honey...Blindness
Love is blindness
I don't want to see
Won't you wrap the night around me
Oh my love... Blindness.
