"Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own"

Tough, you think you've got the stuff

You're telling me and anyone
You're hard enough

You don't have to put up a fight

You don't have to always be right
Let me take some of the punches
For you tonight

Listen to me now
I need to let you know
You don't have to go it alone

And it's you when I look in the mirror

And it's you when I don't pick up the phone
Sometimes you can't make it on your own

We fight all the time

You and I...that's alright
We're the same soul
I don't need...I don't need to hear you say
That if we weren't so alike
You'd like me a whole lot more

Listen to me now
I need to let you know
You don't have to go it alone

And it's you when I look in the mirror

And it's you when I don't pick up the phone
Sometimes you can't make it on your own

I know that we don't talk

I'm sick of it all
Can - you - hear - me - when - I -
Sing, you're the reason I sing
 You're the reason why the opera is in me...

Where are we now?

I've still got to let you know
A house still doesn't make a home
Don't leave me here alone...

And it's you when I look in the mirror

And it's you that makes it hard to let go
Sometimes you can't make it on your own
Sometimes you can't make it
The best you can do is to fake it
Sometimes you can't make it on your own

"City Of Blinding Lights"

The more you see the less you know

The less you find out as you go
I knew much more then than I do now

Neon heart, day-glow eyes

The city lit by fireflies
They're advertising in the skies
And people like us

And I miss you when you're not around

I'm getting ready to leave the ground

Oh you look so beautiful tonight...

Don't look before you laugh

Look ugly in a photograph
Flash bulbs, purple irises the camera can't see

I've seen you walk unafraid

I've seen you in the clothes you've made
 Can you see the beauty inside of me?
What happened to the beauty I had inside of me?

And I miss you when you're not around

I'm getting ready to leave the ground

Oh you look so beautiful tonight...tonight

In the city of blinding lights

Time...time....time...won't leave me as I am
But time won't take the boy out of this man
Oh you look so beautiful tonight
Oh you look so beautiful tonight
Oh you look so beautiful tonight

In the city of blinding lights,

The more you know
The less you feel
Some pray for, others steal
Blessings not just for the ones who kneel, luckily

"Crumbs From Your Table"

From the brightest star

Comes the blackest hole
You had so much to offer
Why did you offer your soul?
I was there for you baby
When you needed my help
Would you deny for others
What you demand for yourself?

Cool down mama, cool off

Cool down mama, cool off

You speak of signs and wonders

 I need something other
I would believe if I was able
But I'm waiting on the crumbs from your table

You were pretty as a picture

It was all there to see
Then your face caught up with your psychology
With a mouth full of teeth
You ate all your friends
And you broke every heart thinking every heart mends

You speak of signs and wonders

But I need something other
I would believe if I was able
But I'm waiting on the crumbs from your table

Where you live should not decide

Whether you live or whether you die
Three to a bed
Sister Ann, she said
Dignity passes by

And you speak of signs and wonders

But I need something other
I would believe if I was able
I'm waiting on the crumbs from your table

"One"

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
One love
We get to share 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
Well 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...life

One

"I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For"

I have climbed highest mountain

I have run through the fields
Only to be with you
Only to be with you

I have run
I have crawled
 I have scaled these city walls
These city walls
Only to be with you

But I still haven't found what I'm looking for

But I still haven't found what I'm looking for

I have kissed honey lips

Felt the healing in her fingertips
It burned like fire
This burning desire

I have spoke with the tongue of angels

I have held the hand of a devil
It was warm in the night
I was cold as a stone

But I still haven't found what I'm looking for

But I still haven't found what I'm looking for

I believe in the kingdom come

Then all the colors will bleed into one
Bleed into one
Well yes I'm still running

You broke the bonds and you

Loosed the chains
Carried the cross
Of my shame
Of my shame
You know I believed it

But I still haven't found what I'm looking for

But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for...
 "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...)

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...

"Stay (Faraway, So Close!)"

 Green light, Seven Eleven
You stop in for a pack of cigarettes
You don't smoke, don't even want to
Hey now, check your change
Dressed up like a car crash
Your wheels are turning but you're upside down
You say when he hits you, you don't mind
Because when he hurts you, you feel alive
Hey babe, is that what it is

Red lights, gray morning

You stumble out of a hole in the ground
A vampire or a victim
It depend's on who's around
You used to stay in to watch the adverts
You could lip synch to the talk shows

And if you look, you look through me

And when you talk, you talk at me
And when I touch you, you don't feel a thing

If I could stay...
Then the night would give you up
Stay...and the day would keep its trust
Stay...and the night would be enough

Faraway, so close
Up with the static and the radio
With satelite television
You can go anywhere
Miami, New Orleans
London, Belfast and Berlin

And if you listen I can't call

And if you jump, you just might fall
And if you shout, I'll only hear you

If I could stay...
 Then the night would give you up
Stay...then the day would keep its trust
Stay...with the demons you drowned
Stay...with the spirit I found
Stay...and the night would be enough

Three o'clock in the morning

It's quiet and there's no one around
Just the bang and the clatter
As an angel runs to ground

Just the bang

And the clatter
As an angel
Hits the ground

"New Year's Day"

Yeah...

All is quiet on New Year's Day

A world in white gets underway
I want to be with you
Be with you night and day
Nothing changes on New Year's Day
On New Year's Day

I will be with you again

I will be with you again

Under a blood red sky

A crowd has gathered in black and white
Arms entwined, the chosen few
The newspapers says, says
Say it's true it's true...
And we can break through
Though torn in two
 We can be one

I...I will begin again

I...I will begin again

Oh...
Maybe the time is right
Oh...maybe tonight...

I will be with you again

I will be with you again

And so we're told this is the golden age

And gold is the reason for the wars we wage
Though I want to be with you
Be with you night and day
Nothing changes
On New Year's Day
On New Year's Day

"Angel Of Harlem"

It was a cold and wet December day

When we touched the ground at JFK
Snow was melting on the ground
On BLS I heard the sound
Of an angel

New York, like a Christmas tree

Tonight this city belongs to me
Angel

Soul love...this love won't let me go

So long...angel of Harlem

Birdland on fifty-three
The street sounds like a symphony
 We got John Coltrane and a love supreme
Miles says she's got to be an angel

Lady Day got diamond eyes

She sees the truth behind the lies
Angel

Soul love...this love won't let me go

So long...angel of Harlem
Angel of Harlem

She says it's heart...heart and soul...

Yeah yeah...(yeah)
Yeah yeah...(right now)

Blue light on the avenue

God knows they got to you
An empty glass, the lady sings
Eyes swollen like a bee sting
Blinded you lost your way
Through the side streets and the alleyway
Like a star exploding in the night
Falling to the city in broad daylight
An angel in Devil's shoes
Salvation in the blues
You never looked like an angel
Yeah yeah...angel of Harlem

Angel...angel of Harlem...
[Repeat and fade]

"All I Want Is You"

You say you want diamonds on a ring of gold

You say you want your story to remain untold

But all the promises we made

 From the cradle to the grave
When all I want is you

You say you'll give me a highway with no one on it

A treasure just to look upon it
All the riches in the night

You say you'll give me eyes in a world of blindness

A river in a time of dryness
A harbour in the tempest

But all the promises we make

From the cradle to the grave
When all I want is you

You say you want your love to work out right

To last with me through the night

You say you want diamonds on a ring of gold

Your story to remain untold
Your love not to grow cold

All the promises we break

From the cradle to the grave
When all I want is you

You
All I want is...you
All I want is...you
All I want is...you

"Where The Streets Have No Name"

I want to run
I want to hide
I want to tear down the walls
That hold me inside
 I want to reach out
And touch the flame
Where the streets have no name

I want to feel sunlight on my face

I see the dust cloud disappear
Without a trace
I want to take shelter from the poison rain
Where the streets have no name

Where the streets have no name

Where the streets have no name
We're still building
Then burning down love
Burning down love
And when I go there
I go there with you
It's all I can do

The city's aflood

And our love turns to rust
We're beaten and blown by the wind
Trampled in dust
I'll show you a place
High on a desert plain
Where the streets have no name

Where the streets have no name

Where the streets have no name
We're still building
Then burning down love
Burning down love
And when I go there
I go there with you
It's all I can do
Our love turns to rust
We're beaten and blown by the wind
Blown by the wind
 Oh, and I see love
See our love turn to rust
We're beaten and blown by the wind
Blown by the wind
Oh, when I go there
I go there with you
It's all I can do

"Kite"

Something
Is about to give
I can feel it coming
I think I know what it is

I'm not afraid to die

I'm not afraid to live
And when I'm flat on my back
I hope to feel like I did

And hardness
It sets in
You need some protection
The thinner the skin

I want you to know

That you don't need me anymore
I want you to know
You don't need anyone
Or anything at all

Who's to say where the wind will take you

Who's to say what it is will break you
I don't know
Which way the wind will blow

Who's to know when the time has come around

 Don't want to see you cry
I know that this is not goodbye

It's somewhere I can taste the salty sea

There's a kite blowing out of control on the breeze
I wonder what's gonna happen to you
You wonder what has happened to me

I'm a man
I'm not a child
A man who sees
The shadow behind your eyes

Who's to say where the wind will take you

Who's to say what it is will break you
I don't know
Where the wind will blow

Who's to know when the time has come around

I don't want to see you cry
I know that this is not goodbye

Did I waste it
Not so much I couldn't taste it
Life should be fragrant
Rooftop to the basement

The last of the rocks stars

When hip-hop drove the big cars
In the time when new media
Was the big idea
What was the big idea

"Beautiful Day"

The heart is a bloom

Shoots up through the stony ground
 There's no room
No space to rent in this town

You're out of luck

And the reason that you had to care
The traffic is stuck
And you're not moving anywhere

You thought you'd found a friend

To take you out of this place
Someone you could lend a hand
In return for grace

It's a beautiful day

Sky falls, you feel like
It's a beautiful day
Don't let it get away

You're on the road

But you've got no destination
You're in the mud
In the maze of her imagination

You love this town

Even if that doesn't ring true
You've been all over
And it's been all over you

It's a beautiful day

Don't let it get away
It's a beautiful day

Touch me
Take me to that other place
Teach me
I know I'm not a hopeless case

See the world in green and blue

 See China right in front of you
See the canyons broken by cloud
See the tuna fleets clearing the sea out
See the Bedouin fires at night
See the oil fields at first light
And see the bird with a leaf in her mouth
After the flood all the colors came out

It was a beautiful day

Don't let it get away
Beautiful day

Touch me
Take me to that other place
Reach me
I know I'm not a hopeless case

What you don't have you don't need it now

What you don't know you can feel it somehow
What you don't have you don't need it now
Don't need it now
Was a beautiful day

"Walk On"

And love is not the easy thing

The only baggage
That you can bring
And love is not the easy thing
The only baggage you can bring
Is all that you can't leave behind

And if the darkness is to keep us apart

And if the daylight feels like it's a long way off
And if your glass heart should crack
And for a second you turn back
Oh no, be strong
 Walk on
Walk on
What you got, they can't steal it
No they can't even feel it

Walk on
Walk on
Stay safe tonight

You're packing a suitcase for a place

None of us has been
A place that has to be believed
To be seen

You could have flown away

A singing bird
In an open cage
Who will only fly
Only fly for freedom

Walk on
Walk on
What you got
They can't deny it
Can't sell it or buy it

Walk on
Walk on
Stay safe tonight

And I know it aches

How your heart it breaks
And you can only take so much

Walk on
Walk on
 Home
Hard to know what it is
If you never had one

Home
I can't say where it is
But I know I'm going

Home
That's where the hurt is

And I know it aches

And your heart it breaks
And you can only take so much
Walk on

Leave it behind
You've got to leave it behind

All that you fashion

All that you make
All that you build
All that you break

All that you measure

All that you steal
All this you can leave behind

All that you reason

All that you care

It's only time

And I'll never fill up all my mind (??)

All that you sense

All that you speak
All you dress up
And all that you scheme
 All you create
All that you wreck
All that you hate

"Stuck In A Moment You Can't Get Out Of"

I'm not afraid

Of anything in this world
There's nothing you can throw at me
That I haven't already heard

I'm just trying to find

A decent melody
A song that I can sing
In my own company

I never thought you were a fool

But darling look at you
You gotta stand up straight
Carry your own weight
These tears are going nowhere baby

You've got to get yourself together

You've got stuck in a moment
And now you can't get out of it

Don't say that later will be better

Now you're stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it

I will not forsake

The colors that you bring
The nights you filled with fireworks
They left you with nothing

I am still enchanted
 By the light you brought to me
I listen through your ears
Through your eyes I can see

And you are such a fool

To worry like you do
I know it's tough
And you can never get enough
Of what you don't really need now
My, oh my

You've got to get yourself together

You've got stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it

Oh love, look at you now

You've got yourself stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it

I was unconscious, half asleep

The water is warm 'til you discover how deep

I wasn't jumping, for me it was a fall

It's a long way down to nothing at all

You've got to get yourself together

You've got stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it

Don't say that later will be better

Now you're stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it

And if the night runs over

And if the day won't last
And if our way should falter
Along the stony pass
 And if the night runs over
And if the day won't last
And if your way should falter
Along this stony pass

It's just a moment

This time will pass

"When I Look At The World"

When you look at the world

What is it that you see
People find all kinds of things
That bring them to their knees

I see an expression
So clear and so true
That changes the atmosphere
When you walk to the room

So I try to be like you

Try to feel it like you do
But without you it's no use
I can't see what you see
When I look at the world

When the night is someone else's

And you're trying to get some sleep
When your thoughts are too expensive
To ever want to keep

When there's all kinds of chaos

And everyone is walking lame
You don't even blink now do you
Don't even look away

So I try to be like you

 Try to feel it like you do
But without you it's no use
I can't see what you see
When I look at the world

I can't wait any longer

I can't wait 'til I'm stronger
Can't wait any longer
To see what you see
When I look at the world

I'm in the waiting room

I can't see for the smoke
I think of you and your holy book
When the rest of us choke

Tell me, tell me

What do you see
Tell me, tell me
What's wrong with me
