They Sentanced Me To Twenty Years Of Boredom
For Trying To Change The System From Within
I'M Coming Now
I'M Coming To Reward Them

First We Take Manhattan
Then We Take Berlin

I'M Guided By A Signal In The Heavens
I'M Guided By The Birthmark On My Skin
I'M Guided By The Beauty Of Our Weapons

First We Take Manhattan
Then We Take Berlin

I'D Really Like To Live Beside You Baby
I Love Your Body And Your Spirit And Your Clothes
But You See That Line That'S Moving
Through The Station

I Told You
I Told You
I Told You I Was One Of Those

I Don'T Like Your Fashion Business Mister
I Don'T Like Those Drugs That Keep You Thin
I Don'T Like What Happened To My Sister

First We Take Manhattan
Then We Take Berlin

. . .


Tonight I Walk These City Streets And
I Think About The Past
When You Where Mine And Our Love Was Forever
I Never Thought That You Would Go
Never Dreamed That You Would Leave
Now The Taste I Have Is Bitter Sweet
I Know You Had To Go And Find That New Horison
Your Star Was Calling Endlessly
In My Heart I Can Only Wish You Well
I Hope You Find Your Every Dream

We Have Taken Different Roads
We Have Gone Our Separate Ways
Though There Maybe Many Miles Between Us
In My Heart The Love Remains
It Will Not Change
Across A Thousand Days
Down A Different Road
Down A Different Road

That Old Rivers Turning
But Is It Going Anywhere
Maybe Like Me It'S Trying To Find It'S Way Back Home
But All Alone Can My Heart Rest
How Will My Eyes Begin To Trust
I Only Want The Best For The Both Of Us

Maybe Somewhere In A Different Time Or Space
We'Ll Find A Place Where We Can Stay
I'Ll Hold That Moment
Forever And For Always
I'Ll Never Be That Far Away

We Have Taken Different Roads
We Have Gone Our Separate Ways
Though There Maybe Many Miles Between Us
In My Heart The Love Remains
It Will Not ChangeҐ.. Across A Thousand Days
Down A Different Road
Down A Different Road

Time Has Been My Only Friend
The Truth Is Like A Knife
It Cuts Right Through You
I Didn'T Want To Loose You

We Have Taken Different Roads
We Have Gone Our Separate Ways
Though There Maybe Many Miles Between Us
In My Heart The Love Remains
It Will Not ChangeҐ.. Across A Thousand Days
Down A Different Road
Down A Different Road

Heart Over Mind, Yes I'M
My Father'S Son
I Live My Life, Just Like
My Father'S Done
If He'D Told Me, One Day
That Somebody'D Have My Heart In Chains
Would I Believe It, No Way
Made Up My Mind I'D Never Fall That Way

But Tell Me Why
Everytime I Try, To Tell You It'S Goodbye
I Can'T Seem To Let Go
In My Heart I Know I Want To Stay
What I'M Trying To Say

Heart Over Mind
Yes I'M My Father'S Son
Yes I'M Inclined To Do
As My Fathers Done

Here I Am With You
And I Know That It'S True
Despite All The Feelings
Your Putting Me Through
I Try To Alk Away, Something Makes Me Stay

Heart Over Mind, Yes I'M
My Father'S Son
I Live My Life, Just Like
My Father'S Done
But Tell Me Why
Everytime I Try, To Tell You It'S Goodbye
I Can'T Seem To Let Go
In My Heart, I Know I Want To Stay, Never Run Away

My Father'S Son
I Live My Life, As My Father'S Done
If He'D Told Me, One Day
That Somebody Would Have My Heart In
Chains Would I Believe It, No Way
Made Up My Mind, I'D Never Fall That Way
But It'S Heart Over Mind, Yes I'M My Father'S Son

Stand up in a clear blue morning
until you see what can be
alone in a cold day dawning,
are you still free, can you be
when some cold tomorrow finds you
when some sad old dream reminds you
how the endless road unwinds you
when there's no one left to leave
you even you don't quite believe you
and that old grey wind is blowing
and there's nothing left worth knowing
while you see a chance take it
find romance, fake it
because it's all on you

. . .


'm tossing and turning and I can't get to sleep
Got something on my mind I just can't release
Then she whispers so softly that she believes in me

If I let her down and tried to disguise it
She always see's through it always replies that
No matter what I do she believes in me

All the times I failed gone slightly off the rails
She's there to remind me she believes in me
When it all goes wrong and I feel I'm on my own
She's there to remind me she believes in me

Don't get me wrong I'm not some kind of fool
I'd give her my world if she asked me to
Cuz here's no denying she believes in me

But I'm only human I'm just a guy
That sometimes makes mistakes and I can't explain why
Some say she's crazy but she believes in me

All the times I failed gone slightly off the rails
She's there to remind me she believes in me
When it all goes wrong and I feel I'm on my own
She's there to remind me she believes in me

She believes in me in what I do
She believes in me I need her too
She believes in God above
She believes when we make love

All the times I failed gone slightly off the rails
She's there to remind me she believes in me
When it all goes wrong and I feel I'm on my own
She's there to remind me she believes in me
Ya she's there to remind me she believes in me
Ya she's there to remind me she believes in me
Ya she's there to remind me she believes in me

My Day Starts Off The Same
It Looks Like It Might Rain
But I Will Not Complain
Cause I Can See The Sun

I Say My Little Prayers
Running Down The Stairs
The Streets Are Going Nowhere
But I Don'T Care

Cause This Day Is Beautiful
Nothing'S Gonna Get Me Down

It'S No Ordinary World
When You'Re Here With Me
I Take The Time To Smile
I Have The Space To Breathe

It'S No Ordinary World
When You Walk With Me
I See Inside My Dreams
Every Diamond Every Pearl
It'S No Ordinary World

Everybody'S Got A Dream
Every Thought And Every Scheme
And All The Spaces In Between
To See The Clouds

But I Won'T Give It Too Much Time
To Get Inside My Mind
Cause All That Really Matters
Is Here And Now

When Your Laying Close To Me
(When Your Bodies Close To Me)
Your All The Joy I Need

Your Hand In Mine No
Reason To Take Our Time
Surrender To Love Like Good Religion

. . .


Verse 1
Something deep inside
Keeps me hanging on
Don't believe I've ever seen
A night so long
Guess I tried to fly
High above the clouds
But landed here in the morning rain
At your door

Chorus
I know I let you down again
But right now, you know I need a friend
I don't know why
I guess I just loose my way
Your eyes
Don't believe a word I say
I can't imagine without your love
Where would I be now

Verse 2
Did you ever know
I always looked up to you
and after all this time
It remains true
There's no compromise
No turning back for me
But through the veil of my pride
Sometimes it's hard to see

Chorus
And I know your love is all I need
So for now don't stop believing me
Cause your love is what's helping me survive
Your faith in me is what keeps my hope alive
Without your love
Where would I be now

Chorus
Cause I know your love
Is worth fighting for
And if it takes forever
I will wait at your door
Cause your love is what's helping me survive
Your faith in me is what keeps my hope alive
Without your love
Where would I be now

. . .


You're a mystery to me
You make your own reality
And I wonder who you are beneath your skin
Guess I'll never know for sure
But I was safe behind my door
Can't think how I let you talk your way back in
Should have known better then
But I know better now

You can't hurt me anymore
I'm not the fool I was before
I ain't gonna cry again
I don't believe the lies you tell
So take your heart and go to hell
Cause I aint gonna cry again

You think I need you but I don't
You think I'll break down but I won't
You've had everything you're gonna get from me
Saw your pleasure in my pain
And it released me from my chains
And I woke up to my own insanity
Waiting for changes that were
Never gonna come


You can't hurt me anymore
I'm not the fool I was before
I ain't gonna cry again
I don't believe the lies you tell
So take your heart and go to hell
Cause I aint gonna cry again
I ain't gonna cry again

Now that I see you're twisted
I don't know how I missed it before
Maybe that's what drew me to you
But this is now and that was then
You'll never make me cry again

Should have known better then
But I know better now

You can't hurt me anymore
I'm not the fool I was before
I ain't gonna cry again
I don't believe the lies you tell
So take your heart and go to hell
Cause I aint gonna cry again

Yesterday, I Was Out In The Rain
Wondering When I'D See The Sun Again
Lonely Hearts, Baby, I Wrote The Book
Since She Walked Away Without A Second Look

OhҐbut Now I Feel Good
Cos' You Look At Me
The Way A Woman Should

I Feel My Soul Rising To A New Love
No Blues I Can'T Rise Above
I Feel My Soul Rising When I'M Close To You
When Your With Me Girl
There'S Nothing I Can'T Do

Yesterday I Was Falling Apart
Picking Up Pieces Of My Broken Heart
YeahҐ. But One Touch Of Your Healing Hand
24 Hours Later I'M A Whole New Man

Yeah, And I'M Stronger Now
Cos' You Make The World A Better Place Some How

I Feel My Soul Rising To A New Love
No Blues I Can'T Rise Above
I Feel My Soul Rising When I'M Close To You
When Your With Me Girl
There'S Nothing I Can'T Do

I Got Sunshine On A Brand New Day
And The Grey Clouds Have All Drifted Away
And There'S Nobody That I Can'T Be
If It'S You And Me

. . .


What have I done I've broke your heart
Now there's no sun just cold and dark
Without your smile I can't laugh
Without you baby I'm just a half
I didn't know what I had
I didn't know I'd feel this sad
But I feel

Naked without you
I feel naked without you
I feel naked without you

What have I done I've broke a vow
But I'm the one who's crying now
Without your touch I can feel
Without your forgiveness I can't heal
No body else can take your place
and if I don't see your angel face

Girl I feel naked without you
I'm still crazy about you
I feel naked without you

I hurt the one that really loved me
Don't look at me I feel ugly
Naked without you

I'm so tired that I can't sleep
I threw away a love so deep

I feel naked without you
I feel naked without you
Naked without you
I feel naked without you in my head
I feel naked without you in my bed
Naked without you hey baby
Naked without you and I feel
Naked without you

. . .


You Can Make Your Point
I Can Disagree
But It Will Not Change
What You Mean To Me
Did It Go Too Far
Are We To The Edge
Is There Some Way I Can
Talk You Down From The Ledge
We Can Turn Away From Each Other
Or We Can Turn It Back Around

Maybe I'M Wrong
Maybe Your'Re Right
Baby Don'T Let This Wounded Pride
Drive A Wedge Between Us
Wherever We Go
Whatever We Do
I Know We'Ll Never Make It Through
If We Try To Stand Alone
We Need Love To Lean On

We Can Make Some Changes
We Can Make This Work
We Can Fix What'S Broken
We Can Heal The Hurt
Take A New Direction
Now It'S Up To Us
What We Do In Anger We Can Do In Love
'Cause Anything That'S Worth The Having
Is Worth Fighting For

Maybe I'M Wrong
Maybe Your'Re Right
Baby Don'T Let This Wounded Pride
Drive A Wedge Between Us
Wherever We Go
Whatever We Do
I Know We'Ll Never Make It Through
If We Try To Stand Alone
We Need Love To Lean On
Love To Lean On
On And On And On
Love To Keep Us Strong

I'm on my way home
That's where I belong
Now the time has come, it's time we must go
Cos now the tides have changed, we're moving on

I'm on my way home
Life must carry on
So after all the pain and what we've been through
To give up now would be oh so wrong
Come what may, we're being counted on
It's our day, this is our song

(Do you know what's waiting there for you)
nothing holds me here
(If nothing's left there to go back to)
Believe me anything is better than what we have now
(turn around, turn around the hands of time)
Can't be any worse, I've got time to spare

(Do you think it's worth all the bother)
someone has to do it
(Nothing works out right anyhow)
So all that we can do is try and try, try more everyday
(turn around, turn around the hands of time)
If there's a will, there'll be a way

I'm on my way home
There's no turning back
After all that has been done and has been shed
It's our last chance, to keep on track

I'm on my way home
Though the road may be long
There's no river we can't cross, or mountain we can't climb
Because our faith is, much to strong

(Do you know what's waiting there for you)
Lord I don't know
(Nothing's left there to go back to)
Believe me anything is better than what we have now
(Turn around, turn around the hands of time)
Can't be any worse, I've got time to spare

(Do you think it's worth all the bother)
Someone has to do it
(Nothing works out right anyhow)
So all that we can do is try and try, try more everyday
(Turn around, turn around the hands of time)
If there's a will, there'll be a way

(Do you know what's waiting there for you)
Lord I don't know
(Nothing's left there to go back to)
Believe me nothing can compare what we've seen,
time and time again

(Turn around, turn around the hands of time)
We've had thunder, I can stand the rain
(Do you think it's worth all the bother)
Someone has to do it (Nothing works out right anyhow)
Cos if the cause is right, it's always worth, all the trouble spent
(Turn around, turn around the hands of time)
Even in battles lost, the good win in the end

(Do you think it's worth all the bother)
Someone has to do it
(Nothing works out right anyhow)
Cos there's no river too deep, no mountain too high
(Turn around, turn around the hands of time)
There's nothing stopping us, we shall get by

. . .

. . .


(P.Brady/M.Neven)


Beached By The Same Tide When We Met
Caught In A Storm When We Came Together
I Never Needed Someone Like I Needed You Back Then
I Swear I Believed It
I Never Lied To You
When I Said What I Said

I Think You Know It's The End Of The Story
You've Been Crying In Your Sleep
Time Is The Judge, Tears Are The Jury
We've Got To Make That Bitter Leap
Love Made A Promise
Love Made A Promise
Time Couldn't Keep

We Run From The Truth
But We End Up Nowhere
And Everyone Knows You Can't Run Forever
It Seems That Just Wanting Something
Don't Mean It's Gonna Be
We Played By The Rules
But Times Made Liers Of You And Me

I Think You Know It's The End Of The Story
You've Been Crying In Your Sleep
Time Is The Judge, Tears Are The Jury
We've Got To Make That Bitter Leap
Love Made A Promise
Love Made A Promise
Love Made A Promise
Time Couldn't Keep

So We Find Another Way
To Get Through Another Night
And We Spend The Whole Night Dreaming
Another Day Will Find A Way To Make It Alright

Time Is The Judge, Tears Are The Jury
We've Got To Make That Bitter Leap
Love Made A Promise
Love Made A Promise (I Said)
Love Made A Promise
Love Made A Promise (I Said)


Love Made A Promise
