The Unforgettable Fire

A SORT OF A HOMECOMING PRIDE (IN THE NAME OF LOVE) WIRE THE UNFORGETTABLE FIRE PROMENADE 4th OF JULY BAD INDIAN SUMMER SKY ELVIS PRESLEY AND AMERICA MLK

A Sort of Homecoming

And you know it's time to go
Through the sleet and driving snow
Across the fields of mourning
Lights in the distance

And you hunger for the time
Time to heal, desire time
And you earth moves beneath
Your own dream landscape

Oh, oh, oh
On borderland we run

I'll be there
I'll be there
Tonight
A high road
A high road out from here

The city walls are all torn down
The dust a smoke screen all around
See faces ploughed like fields that once
Gave no resistance

And we live
By the side of the road
On the side of a hill
As the valley explode
Dislocated, suffocated
The land grows weary of its own

Oh coma way o coma wa o coma o coma way say I
Oh coma way o coma wa o coma o coma way say I

Oh, oh, oh
On borderland we run
And still we run
We run and don't look back
I'll be there
I'll be there
Tonight
Tonight

I'll be there tonight
I believe
I'll be there, somehow
I'll be there, tonight
Tonight

Oh coma way o say say o coma
O coma way o say I

The wind will crack in winter time
This bomb-blast lightning waltz
No spoken words, just a scream...
Ooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhh...

Tonight we'll build a bridge
Across the sea and land
See the sky, the burning rain
She will die and live again
Tonight

And your heart beats so slow
Through the rain and fallen snow
Across the fields of mourning
Lights in the distance

Oh don't sorrow, no don't weep
For tonight, at last
I am coming home
I am coming home
 

Pride (In the Name of Love)

One man come in the name of love
One man come and go
One man come he to justify
One man to overthrow

In the name of love!
What more in the name of love?
In the name of love!
What more? In the name of love!

One man caught on a barbed wire fence
One man he resist
One man washed on an empty beach
One man betrayed with a kiss

In the name of love!
What more in the name of love?
In the name of love!
What more? In the name of love!

...nobody like you...there's nobody like you...

Mmm...mmm...mmm...
Early morning, April 4
Shot rings out in the Memphis sky
Free at last, they took your life
They could not take your pride

In the name of love!
What more in the name of love?
In the name of love!
What more in the name of love?
In the name of love!
What more in the name of love...
Mmm...mmm...mmm...
 

Wire

Innocent, and in a sense I am
Guilty of the crime that's now in hand
Such a nice day!
Throw your life away
Such a nice day!
Let it go

Cold these eyes, I...can't believe it
Cold, this heart is slow
Heart is stone

Call me
Such a cold heart
Such a cold man
To watch you tear your self apart

So lay me down
My soul to give
So lay me down
The longest sleep
Oh...the longest sleep

In I come and out you go
You get
Here we are again
Now, place your bets
Is this the time!?
The time to win or lose
Is this the time!?
The time to choose

Cold these eyes, I...can't believe it
So deep inside a cold fire
Cold, this heart is slow...
Heart is stone

Any time your on the air
Kiss me...Ah! Would you? Ooh!
Won't you tell me now
That's right, just keep me going

In some white track
You come right back
Cartoon cutout
Cut throat let out
I'm on your side
Be on the both side
I'm on right track
You get off my back
I'm no dope
I give you hope
Here's the rope
Here's the rope
Now...swing away!
 

The Unforgettable Fire

Ice
Your only rivers run cold
These city lights
They shine as silver and gold
Dug from the night
Your eyes as black as coal

Walk on by
Walk on through
Walk 'til you run
And don't look back
For here I am

Carnival
The wheels fly and the colors spin
Through alcohol,
Red wine that punctures the skin
Face to face
In a dry and waterless place

Walk on by
Walk on through
So sad to beseige your love so head on
Stay in this time
Stay tonight in a lie
I'm only asking but I
I think you know
Come on take me away
Come on take me away
Come on take me home
Home again

And if the mountain should crumble
Or disappear into the sea
Not a tear, no not I
Stay in this time
Stay tonight in a lie
Ever after
This love in time
And if you save your love
Save it all

Don't push me too far
Don't push me too far
Tonight
Tonight
Tonight
 

Promenade

Earth, sky, sea, and rain
Is she coming back again?
Men of straw sneak a whore
Words that build or destroy
Dirt, dry, bone, sand, and stone

Barbed-wire fence cut me down
I'd like to be around
In a spiral staircase
To the higher ground

And I, like a firework, explode
Roman candle lightning lights up the sky

In the cracked streets trampled under foot
Sidestep...sidewalk
I see you stare...into space
Have I got closer now?
Behind the face

Oh...tell me...
Charity dance with me
Turn me around tonight
Up though a spiral staircase
To the higher ground

Slide show, sea side town
Coca-cola football radio radio radio...
 

4th of July

(This song is entirely instrumental)
 

Bad

If you twist and turn away
If you tear yourself in two again
If I could, yes I would
If I could, I would
Let it go
Surrender...
Dislocate...

If I could throw this
Lifeless lifeline to the wind
Leave this heart of clay
See you walk, walk away
Into the night
And through the rain
Into the half-light
And through the flame

If I could through myself
Set your spirit free
I'd lead your heart away
See you break, break away
Into the light...
And to the day

Oooh oooh, oooh oooh, oooh oooh oooh...

To let it go! And so to fade away
To let it go!
And so fade away
I'm wide awake!
I'm wide awake!
Wide awake! I'm not sleeping, oh no, no, no...

If you should ask then maybe they'd
Tell you what I would say
True colors fly in blue and black
Bruised silken sky and burning flag
Colors crash, collide in blood shot eyes

Oooh oooh, oooh oooh, oooh oooh oooh...

If I could, you know I would
If I could, I would
Let it go...

This desparation...
Dislocation...
Separation...
Condemnation...
Revelation...
In temptation...
Isolation...
Desolation...

Let it go!
And so fade away
To let it go!
And so fade away
To let it go!
And so to fade away
I'm wide awake!
I'm wide awake!
Wide awake!
I'm not sleeping, oh no, no, no...
 

Indian Summer Sky

In the ocean
Cut, swim, deep the sky
Like there, I don't know why
In the forest, there's a clearing
I run there towards the light
Sky...
It's a blue sky...

In the awful holding deep decide
If I could, I would
Up for air to swim against the tide
Hey! Hey! Hey!
Up toward the sky...
It's a blue sky...

To lose along the way
The spark that set the flame
To flicker and to fade
On this the longest day

So wind blow through to my heart
So wind blow through my soul
So wind blow through to my heart
So wind blow through my soul
So wind blow through to my heart...

You give yourself to this the longest day
You give yourself
You give it all away

Two rivers run too deep, the seasons change
And so do I
The light that strikes the tallest trees
The light that wait for I
The light...waiting
Up toward the sky...
It's a blue sky...

To lose along the way
The spark that set the flame
To flicker and to fade
On this the longest day

So wind go through to my heart
So wind blow through my soul
So wind go through to my heart
So wind blow through my soul
So wind go through to my heart
So wind blow through my soul
So wind go through to my heart...

You give yourself to this the longest day
You give yourself
You give it all away...
 

Elvis Presly and America

Black flesh in here.

Black flesh of my only love --
Tell me, open my eyes.
Black flesh come into my own mind,
Telling me to sing...
And I believe in you,
And I believe in you,
White flesh sees the sky [That's nice], and he turns its sight from you,
But she won't turn my bag,
And I know that real tears are blue...

And you know,
And your sky is faith in blue,
And your heart -- been so cold when I'm with you,
And you feel, like no one told you to,
And you know time is on your side
And you'll talk with me,
Oh, don't talk to me,
Aw, don't talk to me,
Don't talk to me...

And you know,
Like no one told you how,
But you know,
Well, The King that howed has howled --
And revealed, like sentimental,
But you don't care --
Without you're sharing
In your hear-ar-ar-art hear-ar-ar-ar--
Heart, there sleeps a hope you see:
I'm breaking through for you and me.

And you know,
Although no one told you to,
And you found out when you were going:
We're two.
And your through with me
-- But I know that you'll be back for more...

And you know,
And though no one told you so,
And you know:
The sky -- like a heart is shades of blue.
And you want,
You want -to let go-oh-oh...

We live on the outside,
Turn away, fade away,
You can drop me down, but don't break me:
In your castle stay --
Au-di-ence sighs in your heart and mind,
Au-di-ence dies in your heart... and mine...

Someday love will come,
Lovin' is in your sigh,
The War King too.
So let me in your heart:
It beats like something new...

(I need The Edge)

Keep The Edge!
I'm at home,
Mm an' love is...
Stay, stay sad and resigned,
Don't stay sad, no more be sad,
Don't stay sad, no more be sad,
Don't stay sad, no more be sad...
And you know,
And though no one told you how, (told you how)
And you know,
And you wipe the sweat off your white brow. (your white brow)
And you care, (care, care)
And though no one told, you tried,
And your heart (and your heart) is left out from the side (from the side),
And the rain beats down,
And the shame (keeps) on beating down,
And this rain keeps on coming down,
And this sky... (is black)

I'll keep the voice of emotion you want
I'll keep on going - enjoyin' instinct, Brian
I gave away some energy -- why?
I'll keep my voice up, [Keep it up!] -- can you go louder?
I'll keep my voice up loud and gain the Ruler.

And you know,
And although knowing told you sky blue,
And you feel like needle pricks and you don't care,
You'll say, "Go and kill Lear! Or the older side of me."
"Don't you leave!"
"Don't leave out part of me!"
"Then I can't feel it!"
"I can't feel anymore!" [Keep it up!]
And "I can't hold on!" [Keep it going!]
And "I don't seem that flawed."
And you pick me up:
Bits and pieces
On this....floor
 

MLK

Sleep
Sleep tonight
And may your dreams
Be realized
If the thunder cloud
Passes rain
So let it rain
Rain down on him
Mmm...mmm...mmm...
So let it be
Mmm...mmm...mmm...
So let it be

Sleep
Sleep tonight
And may your dreams
Be realized
If the thundercloud
Passes rain
So let it rain
Let it rain
Rain on him
