interior designed / Let me be conditioned To do the crawl on the floor / Looking for the mission Speak with my tongue / Tell me who to follow Come on, show me who walks / On Blessed Virgin water One that can rise above our kind / That sinned like all my brothers One that'll christen my eyes / And bring me to my senses Who will fall and who will rise / Who might have to advertise Who will be the president / Who will tell you anything Now, who gonna, who gonna / Who gonna walk, walk on water Who gonna, who gonna, who / Gonna walk, walk on water Who gonna, who gonna walk / Who gonna walk, walk, walk, walk Come to my cause / Give me destination Tell me, who can I trust / That doesn't take commission Who does the miracle for real / And tells me there's no heaven One that will take all control / And dim my television Christen my eyes / Show me who to follow Come on, show me who walks / On Blessed Virgin water Hey now, who will fall and who will rise / Who might have to advertise Who will be the president / Who will tell you anything Now, who gonna, who gonna, who / Gonna walk, walk on water Who gonna, who gonna, who / Gonna walk, walk on water Who gonna, who gonna, who gonna / Walk, walk on water Who gonna, who gonna, who gonna / Walk, walk, walk, walk Speak with my tongue yeah and / Christen my eyes Who's gonna go walking on / Who's gonna go walking on water @SONG: Before my time is up Before the gods read my lifelong / Sentence Before I get my share / Before I walk alone Before they take away my last / Temptation Before my heart's deprived / Before they call my name On the back fences of my dream line / I never lost my mind I gave it all I had / To get away with the whole damn Big Bang / For the right reasons / For what you can't take back Until the drums stop beating Until the crossroads burn out I ain't a man until I've done it all Before my time is up / I'll hang my name On every trial I'm due for / And even if I can't get justice I'll take you down to hell / Before my time is up I'll leave no stone unturned / I won't regret my actions And even if my last words fail me / I'll be a better man Before my time is up I believe that the road goes somewhere / Beyond the empty eyes Beyond the wasted land / When it all fades away to nothing I wanna know I tried / To take a real hard stand I gotta laugh at the whole damn / Big bang I've got to cry sometimes / Got to love somebody Before they read me my lifelong sentence / Before I get my share Before I go alone Until the drums stop beating To where the crossroads burn out I ain't a man until I've done it all Before my time is up / I'll hang my name On every trial I'm due for / And even if I can't get justice I'll take you down to hell / Before my time is up I'll leave no stone unturned / I won't regret my actions And even if my last words fail me / I'll be a better man Before my time is / Time is / Time is up Even if my last words fail me / I'll be a better man Before my time is up Before, before my time is up... @SONG: Times changed Everybody knows / That times changed / Times changed Some boys look older / And the young ones smile in jest Lads born to be the chosen one / While the wise man sings in the Cuckoo's nest I walked the West End late last night / After seein' an old friend of mine We talked about this place and the way / It was When a bloke could get a break before / These Times changed / These times changed These times changed / These times changed I heard a D.J. spin in Brixton / Some of that fresh massive attack Here in the house of mass consumption / Where the ecstasy goes fast On the screen is this month's fashion Lots of leather and a tattooed breast Better this than some guru / Who's trying to teach you how to live When you know Times changed / Times changed You know times changed / Times changed I saw a bastard slap his girl around / I said man have you gone mad What's gotten into you / That's makin' you so bad You think love is anything when you / Can't get work You think life is on T.V. / The he turned up some of that Speed metal / And said this is what I think I rode the East End early yesterday / I was hit by the way it's changed >From the days of Krays in my / Teenage years When we all knew our place / Now the welfare state is a state of wealth For some the hope is gone / And a cardboard box in Westminster is Hard to call a home / But you know Times change / Times change Times change / Times change Everybody knows / Everybody knows They know that times changed... @SONG: You can't call it love It's the same rain the same pain / The same picture in the same frame Cold close smoldering hearts / And it can't burst into flames then Again it can't go out My passion is a nightingale with a / Sword throat A dolphin in the Thames it's a / Wasted love It's a telephone ringing in an empty house / It's a motherless child You can say it's a good thing You can say it's a bad thing You can call it anything you want But you can't call it love No you can't call it love I'm lost among the stars Another wishful one is waiting in / The wings To pick up where the last one put / You down To dry your eyes and fashion your / New crown Of foxgloves and steel strings You can say it's a good thing You can say it's a bad thing You can call it anything you want But you can't call it love No you can't call it love No you can't call it love The same town's still standing / But the changes come creepin' through My dreams / But it's a little late for praying When your world is already on its knees / And on and on and on and on My nightmare's a devil's dog on a / Rolling log Got no control, no sense of time, it's / Just a rhyme And a banshee hollers in the dead / Of night It's a homeless ghost You can say it's a good thing You can say it's a bad thing You can call it anything you want But you can't call it love No you can't call it love No you can't call it love Can't call it love... @SONG: Mirror mirror Yes you can float your boat to China / It could take you all night It could take a long time / To forget about me You might find another lover / He might even sail you But you will still remember / How we made love time the first Time ever was sacred / We were deep in love time the way love Does a reflection / Now you can tell a lie real good And maybe I'll believe every word / Mirror mirror on the wall Look into my crystal ball / Let me in your darkest hour Mirror mirror take a look into me now / I can feel your stormy weather I can feel your wind blow / Every time you come close Why do you deny me I might find another lover / She might even save me But I will still remember / How we made love time the first Time ever was sacred / We were deep in love time the way love Does a reflection / Now I can tell a lie real good And maybe you'll believe every word Mirror mirror on your wall / Look into my crystal ball Let me in your darkest hour / Mirror mirror look into me now Mirror mirror on your wall / Look into my crystal ball Let me in your darkest hour Mirror, mirror, mirror take a look into me now Take a good look into me now You can float your boat to China / It could take you all night It could take a long time / To forget about me I will feel your stormy weather / I will feel your wind blow Baby when you come close / Come and make love... @SONG: Perfect world White girl, in a perfect world / You'd trust in your lover Will boys ever be boys again Blonde boy, in a perfect world you'd / Know if you loved her Will girls ever be girls again Black boy, in a perfect world there'd / Be understanding Still you're perfect cause you love / Your girl Black girl, in a perfect world there'd / Be no demanding Still you're perfect cause you love / Your man It don't make no difference/ Boys of London girls of Memphis We are all a revolution / In this jaded institution In the New York Times / To the L.A. coast They go bump to bump / In the perfect world For the perfect boy / And the perfect girl They go bump to bump / In the perfect world Black girl, in a perfect world you'd know / That I love ya And everyone would understand White boy, in a perfect world you'd / Need no protection And love would still be something / In heart White girl, in a perfect world there'd / Be understanding And boys would be boys again Black girl, in a perfect world you'd know / That I love ya And everyone would understand It don't make no difference/ Boys of London girls of Memphis We are all a revolution / In this jaded institution In the New York Times / To the L.A. coast They go bump to bump / In the perfect world For the perfect boy / And the perfect girl They go bump to bump / In the perfect world... @SONG: Love is As cold as it seems / When truth brings you heartache It's so hard to believe / When love hits the wall / Love is My faith in you / When it could have ended And your trust in me / We could have lost it all Love is / Everything I need to live Love is / Everything that we forgive Love is / Every crime of passion That's what love is Where would I go / What would I do What would it mean / To meet a perfect stranger Why do we hurt / Who draws the line When do we learn to look inside / What love is So many years / You can't take for granted You can't take away / All the things you are Together so long / I know where my heart is Somewhere in me (oh yea) / I'll find a way to show Love is / Every lesson we have learned Love is / Every soft unspoken word Love is / Every crime of passion That's what love is Where would I go / What would I do What would it mean / To meet a perfect stranger Why do we hurt / Who draws the line When do we learn to look inside Everything I need to live / Love is Everything that we forgive / Love is Every crime of passion / That's what love is Love is / Every lesson we have learned Love is / Every soft unspoken word Love is / Every crime of passion That's what love is... @SONG: Blues man's road The old boys drinkin' / Tellin' the stories 'Bout the way it used to be / A steel string box Was every blues man's woman / Everybody knew Lucille >From the Delta to the chain gang I was born to the rhythm / Raised on volume Wired to a different sound Plain damn reckless until three in / The morning Dreamin' of the place I'd found / Where the sugar tastes a little sweeter Ain't nothing meaner / Than the old boy howlin' on his / Guitar alone Tellin' the story 'bout the blues / Man's road Well he taught me everything I know / We all knew that blues man's road That's why they call this thing rock / And roll We were white city slip kids playing in / The streets The songs of the black man's band / With our tail drags dragging Mojo's working / Got the blast from the big boss man Where the sugar tastes a little sweeter Ain't nothing meaner / Than an old boy howlin' on his / Guitar alone Tellin' the story 'bout the blues / Man's road He taught me everything that I've / Ever known We all knew that blues man's road That's why they call this damn thing / Rock and roll The story 'bout the blues man's road / Taught me everything I know Yes we all knew that blues man's road That's why they call this damn thing / Rock and roll @SONG: Everything a heart could ever want (Willow) She comes home late / And I've waited long Then she sings me lines / From the songs I used to sing When I was young 'Cause she's that kind of girl A woman child / A free young spirit In a jaded world / And she knows me Shows me / Lets me see She's everything a heart could ever / Want (Willow) When I call her name (Willow) / Will she still hear me when She's everything a heart could ever / Want (Willow) When she looks at me (Willow) / Her eyes just say it all She always puts me right / When I turn up wrong Never walks away / Her smile tells me I'm goin' on and on and on It gets real damn hard / To let your children grow And when you make mistakes / It's the time you got to let 'em Know you know you know I wanna know her / Show her / I wanna let her see She's everything a heart could ever / Want (Willow) When I call her name (Willow) / Will she still hear me when She's everything a heart could ever / Want (Willow) When she looks at me (Willow) / Her eyes just say it all She's everything a heart could ever / Want (Willow) She's sometimes strange (Willow) / So please, please, please don't change It ain't an easy thing / To let a young bird fly And when they spread their wings / For the very first time You just wanna die Everything a heart could ever want I know she's everything a heart could / Ever want She's everything a heart could / Ever want... @SONG: Days of light Fridays waiting at the gates of heaven / The weekend starts at seven We get forty-eight hours of fun For five days working on the line / For five days Time to change the look on my face / I'm waiting for the starter's gun Maybe feeling tired / Maybe feeling empty / Maybe living on your own You know 'round about seven on a / Friday night Forget about your worries gonna / Be alright Everybody's heading for those days / Of light Hot and heavy nights of true love ways Tomorrow these will be the good / Old days Everybody's working for those days / Of light Mondays waiting for the week to / Start up Back to work and feeling hard up / Things are gonna change someday So dream on everybody's free to / Dream on Work hard love well

Opera Time and time again / Someone comes to take you to the Edge of something new / Why is it so hard for you to fall I have stood alone / Watched you from a distance of a Friend who understands / One who'd always be there if you Knew what you were looking for / And you know it when you've found it With the key in your hand / It's time to walk a naked stage Of glass from hot sands / Where a sound within your heart / Will rage And it rocks in the head moving ever on / Life is an unforgettable opera The time will come again / When staring in your eyes a place that You have seen before / Always something to remind you It's not a game of chance / Some you lose and some you just can't Win them all at once / Time will give you everything It's a rhythm that will never stop It's like a clock that ticks between us And the key's in your hand / Your time to walk a naked stage Of glass from hot sands / Where a sound within your heart / Will rage And it rocks in the head moving ever on / Life is an unforgettable opera Take the key in your hands / It's time you walked that naked stage Of glass from hot sands / Where a sound within your heart / Will rage With the key in your hands / It's time you walked that naked stage Of glass from hot sands / Where a sound within your heart / Will rage And it rocks in the head moving ever on / Life is an unforgettable opera
