Boys from Diamond City
Echoes of a million years, lie twisted in my face In a world without no name, and a stranger human race In the distance how it shines, sparkles in the light Like a flower pulls you in, you lose your mind. And it really doesn't matter if the sky should fall Your living under ground, there's no sky at all Nothing much changes We're the boys of the diamond city We're tough like diamond We're the boys of the diamond city So rough, like diamonds I remember nightmare days, like packs of dogs we'd roam Through the broken city streets, through the broken city's bone It's so hard to stand your ground, it's so hard to stay alive 'Cos when you fight for what you keep, you know you fight for your life And it really doesn't matter if the sky should fall Your living under ground, there's no sky at all Nothing much changes We're the boys of the diamond city We're tough like diamond We're the boys of the diamond city So rough, like diamonds I remember a time A giant skyline And a blue, blue sky It's almost dreamlike We're the boys of the diamond city We're the boys of the diamond city We're tough like diamond We're the boys of the diamond city So rough, like diamonds
Obsession
Can I feel your hair soft on wet skin Deep inside I bleed from the blade within Can I reach the burning, burning moon Can I change this madness, lust consume Breathing out and breathing in - begin Suddenly I wake from a calling sweat Blood red water on my head Was I only dreaming the flesh so real What would another good sin reveal Breathing out and breathing in I can't fight the drug within Feel the first hit to the heart You're my shot, your my obsession Hear the voices say I can't turn and walk away - yeah You're my shot, your my obsession Hear the voices Oh - how I need to hold onto fire to win Pumping through my veins love's adrenalin Can you hear those voices Breathing out and breathing in I can't fight the drug within Feel the first hit to the heart You're my shot, your my obsession Hear the voices say I can't turn and walk away - yeah You're my shot, your my obsession Hear the voices say
I Can't Wait a Life Time
After all is said and done Time will wait no more Have not the strength to carry on Light grows cold Steals away the life in me Cold with this uncertainty Forgive me I can't wait a lifetime Won't let this child die within my heart I can't wait a lifetime Don't let it slip away Don't let it slip away From me In the end I had to turn Hurt to see you cry Beneath the skin the prison lies Love the only crime Do I unlock the life in me Or ride the storm eternally Forgive me I can't wait a lifetime Won't let this child die within my heart I can't wait a lifetime Don't let it slip away Don't let it slip away From me
Showdown
She cried to the southern wind About a love that was sure to end Every dream in her heart was gone Headin' for a showdown Bad dreamer, what's your name Looks like we're ridin' on the same train Looks as though there'll be more pain There's gonna be a showdown And it's rainin all over the world It's raining all over the world Tonight, the longest night She came to me like a friend She blew in on a southern wind Now my heart is turned to stone again There's gonna be a showdown Save me, oh save me It's unreal, the suffering There's gonna be a showdown And it's rainin all over the world It's raining all over the world Tonight the longest night
Heart of Gold
We are the future within our dome A new generation, we live alone Washed the words from the subway wall We had to fight to survive You still can have it all So listen to our cry With a mind of steel, but a heart of gold The winds of change you can move the stone By the hands of love you must free the soul To live forever with a heart of gold We are the future, we hold the key The messengers are calling, "wake up your race" All but man did turn to dust Then we saw her fall Cut her down by the sword of greed So listen to our cry With a mind of steel, but a heart of gold The winds of change you can move the stone By the hands of love you must free the soul To live forever with a heart of gold With a mind of steel, but a heart of gold The winds of change you can move the stone By the hands of love you must free the soul To live forever with a heart of gold You are the future, it's up to you You are the future, it's up to you
Don't Come to Me
Walking down the avenue Every step I take I see you There's nothing more that I can do To hold back from crying It's not that I don't have the time To hear your voice would only cost a dime I'm gonna save myself a dime And you know why 'Cos in the night, when you're alone And there is no one you can turn to As you're reaching for the phone Don't come to me I won't be there you see You turned this heart to stone Now you'll walk alone So don't come to me How did I get left this way? I must have been born yesterday Every single word you'd say Were lies, lies, lies Still walking down that avenue Every step I take I see you There's nothing more that I can do To hold back from crying Don't come to me 'Cos I won't be there you see You turned this heart to stone Now you'll walk alone So don't come to me
Reality
It's down your wire, it's on your screen Pirate satellite, next to MTV Insert your hand, subscription free It's reality Put on the suit, connect the chord Free mind of city life, just ecstasy Don't block the flow, only you can see Your reality And as the programme runs surely to the screen You can't hold back, you're in Reality - so virtual Reality - machinery Designed by me, but physical Reality, just anything you want to see Is it wrong it's in your mind Banned by the chosen ones, how they rule your life Exit that page, enter brave new world From reality And as the programme runs surely to the screen You can't hold back, you're in Reality - so virtual Reality - machinery Designed by me, but physical Reality, just anything you want to see
A. L. O.
Brown suede shoes and corduroys Greasy hair not out of choice Trying hard to blend in with the boys Standing in the corner of the room He would see her every Friday night Watching all the guys hold her so tight Looks in her eyes But she doesn't even know his name He would give her just anything To hear her voice To hear her sing "I love you" Climbing mountains so high He won't give in Risk the thin thread of life To find his dream There is no turning back In the face of attack Looking for the key of her heart She's the reason of his dreams Heroine to his pirate king Marylin to his Jimmy Dean Swept away to the sound of violins Friday night and it's all for real She don't know just how he feels Maybe this could be her lucky day He would give her just anything To hear her voice To hear her sing "I love you" Climbing mountains so high He won't give in Risk the thin thread of life To find his dream There is no turning back In the face of attack Looking for the key of her heart
Love Like the Video
She sends her smile by satellite Steaming up the screen at night Got the mouth, knows how to squeeze Every line of make-believe In the flesh, just like a dream Fingers touch the fantasy To hold so close, her lips near mine Bodies on the borderline Oh, when the lights went down I held my breath But she held the freeze frame Love like the video Why can't she love like the video Captured hot on thirty-five Tempting all to idolise Leading lady, pleading man Picture post, L.A., Cannes Every take is just like the first Every fake so well rehearsed Passions are the cruelest part Deception in the coolest heart Oh, when the lights went down I held my breath But she held the freeze frame Love like the video Why can't she love like the video
Satellite Blues
Hey you, you're walking down a New York street Feel the tension in the midday heat You're walking on blood TV, it's all there on a Japanese screen East, West, there's no in between Now, we just love "The Reds" Everything is now because the past is dead You've got to look forward if you want to get ahead What kind of person sells a young person drugs? You bring them up good but don't call them thugs Third world stories, well they make the news It's a five minute wonder, call it... Satellite blues Any way the wind blows Dive, dive! Underground is just the place to be So cool, it keeps the city clean Now walk on by I said "Walk, walk, don't run!" Don't you know you've got to follow the signs? This life's so cruel, so cruel to be kind It's a one-way street You've got to live on the edge just to make a big deal This life's big fun, man, it's like a roulette wheel What kind of world would let these children die? There's so much money we could all retire We could all live happily if we choose But it's a five minute wonder, call it... Satellite blues Any way the wind blows
I Believe
Through the fields that have changed with time The spirit still grows stronger I can see the boy inside I can feel the hunger But there's a shadow that is thrown upon us Like a thief come in the night They still try and put us down We stand and fight I believe We're gonna rise and steal the thunder I believe We're gonna hold this flame forever I believe Like an arrow from a burning bow It's aim once born of anger Like a river that forever flows The years our only danger The water washes over me But I still can breathe the fire Oh Lord, I'm just a man No longer giving it all away I believe We're gonna rise and steal the thunder I believe We're gonna hold this flame forever I believe
The Voice of Reason [live 1992]
Nothing ventured nothing gained Tired and washed out by the pain Do we share this problem, will it slip away? Or do we fight another day? Was I looking for a friend? One I could on 'til the end Is there something that I didn't do? Does it all begin with you? So how did I, Oh I Give you reason? But how did I, Oh I Give you reason? After all the fallen tears When we wake the token dream Who let the water slowly draw away? All the colours we made So how did I, Oh I Give you reason? But how did I, Oh I Give you reason? To give you reason, to change the river's flow To give you reason, to point the bone To give you reason, to set your spirit free I don't know, I don't know why Is there nothing I can say? Is there nothing I can do, girl? Didn't mean to break your life Didn't mean to burn your world, no So how did I, Oh I Give you reason? But how did I, Oh I Give you reason? You can keep the silver band You can have the memories, girl Now as 'Pilate' cleans the hands It's no more to do with me, no So how did I, Oh I Give you reason? But how did I, Oh I Give you reason? So how did I, Oh I Give you reason? Let's the voice of reason say:
