2. VIGILANTE

Racing in the shadows, the pounding of the feet
While the old men get to praying and the children try to Sleep

Just another promise, they don't really care
Cause the movement on the border's got the people running Scared

Standing on the corner, never got things done
If you leave you're front door open, you'll be the foolish One

No misunderstanding, no honour among thieves
It's a sorry situation, a gun is all you need

I said go call the vigilante...
He'll turn this place upside down
Go call the vigilante...
He don't get kicked around

Hold on, there's a new way a comin'
Looks like he's arriving tonight
There's no more hiding or running
There's no more walking on ice

Standing on the corner, never got things done
If you leave you're front door open, you'll be the foolish One

No misunderstanding, no honour among thieves
It's a sorry situation, a gun is all you need

I said go call the vigilante...
He'll turn this place upside down
Go call the vigilante...
He don't get kicked around

Hold on, there's a new way a comin'
Looks like he's arriving tonight
There's no more hiding or running
There's no more walking on ice

Racing in the shadows, the pounding of the feet
While the old men get to praying and the children try to Sleep

Just another promise, they don't really care
Cause the movement on the border's got the people running Scared

I said go call the vigilante...
He'll turn this place upside down
Go call the vigilante...
He don't get kicked around, kicked around

Hold on, there's a new way a comin'
Looks like he's arriving tonight
There's no more hiding or running
There's no more walking on ice

I said hold on, there's a new way a comin'
Looks like he's arriving tonight
There's no more hiding or running
There's no more walking on ice, oh!

Oh, I said, hold on, there's a new way a comin'
Looks like he's arriving tonight
There's no more hiding or running
There's no more walking on, walking on ice

Hold on, hold on
Looks like he's arriving tonight
There's no more hiding or running
There's no more walking on ice, oh!

No! - No! - No! - No! - No! - No! - No! - No! - No!

Vigilante - vigilante man!
Vigilante - call the vigilante man!
Vigilante - vigilante man!
Vigilante - call the vigilante man!
Vigilante - vigilante man!
Vigilante - go call the vigilante man!
Vigilante - vigilante man!
Vigilante - call the vigilante, vigilante man!
Vigilante - vigilante man!


3. DAYS OF NO TRUST

Pray to the future
Look to the past
Face the accuser
Freeze in our tracks
So many children
Have fallen from grace
The door should be open
No scorn or disgrace

Keys have been stolen
Treasure is lost
Lesson is golden
Hearts have been crossed
So here's to the heros
Come one and come all
Without them well who knows
Well who knows at all

In these days of no trust
Evermore hostility
We're all living under the same old sky
We're all living telling the same old lie
In these days of no trust

And music recorded
Might influence dreams
But headlines are courted
By stretch limosines
Pictures of plenty
Are stuck to the wall
For heads that are empty
Brains on the floor
Can't take any more

Someone is shouting
Revolution is here
He'll climb any mountain
For his selfish career
The truth's not a curtain
To be drawn back and forth
It's a flame that keeps burning
Everlasting tourch

In these days of no trust
Evermore hostility
We're all living under the same old sky
We're all living telling the same old lie
In these days of no trust


4. MAMA

I've seen plenty of trouble
Never been any different I know
You got to run on the double
Keep your eye on the chariot low
Mama let your garden grow
Can't fall down never give in
A lucky star could be following you
You got to show a little givin'
Every day when it's possible to
Mama make my grey sky blue

Just keep those wheels turnin'
And keep your love burnin'
If I'm runnin' wild follow me
Maybe we're still learnin'
Sometimes we're still hurtin'
Just like a child comfort me

We grew up by the mountain
Dirty marks in the palm of our hands
We got the eye for accountin'
We got the pain of a family man
Mama help us all you can

Just keep those wheels turnin'
And keep your love burnin'
If I'm runnin' wild follow me
Maybe we're still learnin'
Sometimes we're still hurtin'
Just like a child comfort me


5. NEED A LOT OF LOVE

A soldier cut loose in Saigon
He used to be a farmer just like anyone
A soldier cut loose in Saigon
Even to his father he's a violent son

Someone built a wall in Berlin
Not to keep them out but to keep them in
Someone built a wall in Berlin
A permanent reminder of what's happening

We need a lot of love
Got to take a lot of pain
You can watch the river flood
But get washed away the same
Oh we know that things don't last
So we use the guiding tracks
Through the deadly ring of flame

Smoking in a room in Lebanon
The hotels serving but the hospital is gone
Choking in a room in Lebanon
Many people hurting still the telephones on

Standing on a street in Belfast
A city of division widows in black
Standing on a street in Belfast
Crunching of the feet on the broken glass

We need a lot of love
Got to take a lot of pain
You can watch the river flood
But get washed away the same
Oh we know that things don't last
So we use the guiding tracks
Through the deadly ring of flame

We need a lot of love
Got to take a lot of pain
You can watch the river flood
But get washed away the same
Oh we know that things don't last
So we use the guiding tracks
Through the deadly ring of flame


6. PRAY FOR THE DAY

Pray for the day
This city's wall
Concrete for chains
Will crumble and fall
Pray for the day

On top of the world
Nothing breaks in
Cross after cross
They have to dig in
Where to begin

Remember at the border
When the blood ran like water
Murdered for escaping
While the world looked on shaking

On top of the world
Nothing breaks in
Cross after cross
They have to dig in

They crowned you with pain
And emptied your head
Your rescuers came
And left you for dead
Now it has to be said

Remember at the border
When the blood ran like water
Murdered for escaping
While the world looked on shaking

And all across the land
The keys to freedom jammed

Remember at the border
When the blood ran like water
Murdered for escaping
While the world looked on shaking

Pray for the day ...


7. LES MORTS DANSANTS

Cannons roared in the valley they thundered
While the guns lit up the night
Then it rained and both sides wondered
Who is wrong and who is right

On the wire like a ragged old scarecrow
Bloody hands and broken back
When they fire see him pirouette solo
Jump in time to the rat a tat

What a night though it's one of seven
What a night for the dancing dead
What a night to be called to heaven
What a picture to fill your head

By the wall in a silouette standing
Through a flash of sudden light
Cigarette from his mouth just hanging
Paper square to his heart pinned tight

Gather round reluctant marksmen
One of them to take his life
With a smile he gives them pardon
Leaves the dark and takes the light

What a night though it's one of seven
What a night for the dancing dead
What a night to be called to heaven
What a picture to fill your head

They dispatch their precious cargo
Knock him back right off his feet
And they pray may no one follow
Better still to face the beast

When the field has become a garden
And the wall has stood the test
Children play and the dogs run barking
Who would think or who would guess

What a night though it's one of seven
What a night for the dancing dead
What a night to be called to heaven
What a picture to fill your head


8. RECKLESS MAN

No promises to keep
Won't lose an hours sleep
Talks fast but makes no sense
The mask of innocence

Turns on the golden light
Perception clear and bright
He don't need no crystal ball
Don't need no one at all

He's a reckless man
He won't crack as a matter of fact
He's a political man
He's got blood on his hands

He thinks he wrote the book
Just take a second look
He reads it every day
Then tells it anyway

He's a reckless man
He won't crack as a matter of fact
He's a political man
He's got blood on his hands

He's a reckless man
He won't crack as a matter of fact
He's a political man
He's got blood on his hands

He's a reckless man reckless man
He won't crack as a matter of fact
He's a political man


9. HOW FAR JERUSALEM

They are the victims of the night
Ride against the wind born to loose the fight
They fill the doorways they come far
Holding what they bring details on a card
And on a rainy night like this
Someone shuts the door goodbye on there lips

There is no charity from where they come
There's nothing left to be
In stark reality thy will be done
For you and for me

How far Jerusalem before the heart breaks down
No kings amongst them cold feet in London town
How far Jerusalem oh broken hearted clown
We stand among them cold feet in London town

They are in search of Liberty's trail
Equal in their eyes faces drawn and pale
So many hearts have gone before
Probably ignored crashing to the floor
They are the victims of the night
Ride against the wind born to loose the fight
There is no charity from where they come
There's nothing left to be
In stark reality thy will be done
For you and for me

How far Jerusalem before the heart breaks down
No kings amongst them cold feet in London town
How far Jerusalem oh broken hearted clown
We stand among them cold feet in London town

How far Jerusalem before the heart breaks down
No kings amongst them cold feet in London town
How far Jerusalem oh broken hearted clown
We stand among them cold feet in London town

Ahhhhh. How far Jerusalem


10. THE SPIRIT

Don't place your trust in foolish promises sworn
Nor cryptic message scrawled upon every wall
Street corner justice beware
The spirit will find you always be fair
The shallow verse once read means nothing at all
Nor fearful gestures made for instant recall
In lies your heart will not share
The spirit inside used without care

The spirit that guides you follow it through
To the spirit inside you always be true
You know you'll despair
If the spirit inside you is used without care

The battlefield of glory pales into rust
The river flows much thicker fed by each thrust
No beast alive does compare
The spirit beside you everywhere

Let not your head be turned by tainted reward
And dreams of fortune won forever to hoard
Your conscience could not repair
The spirit inside you used without care

'Cause it will be your shelter, help you how to decide
And it will be your helper should your loyalties divide

The spirit that guides you follow it through
To the spirit inside you always be true
You know you'll despair
If the spirit inside you is used without care

The ash of pages swept before the cruel wind
The loss of choices praises no-one will sing
No clues to how you will fare
The spirit implores you tread where you dare
The dust lies thick on casket rich or quite poor
Distinction disappears the worm both deplore
The candle burns out once more
But the spirit inside you won't be ignored

The spirit that guides you follow it through
To the spirit inside you always be true
You know you'll despair
If the spirit inside you is used without care


11. ON A STORYTELLERS NIGHT

There's a stormlamp on the table
Throwing shadows to the gable
And you swallow if your able
On a storyteller's night

From the poor house chimes indifferent
Seven towers seven sisters
Every blackheart walks the distance
On a storyteller's night

Try to sleep on your pillow and dream
Sleep in God's children to keep
Though we all lose track of time
Disappears like faded lines

Keep your night light burning
I'll come through the wind and rain
Keep your night light burning
I'll be with you once again

There's a chill wind at your back door
And the fire cracks on the damp floor
You hear footsteps but you're not sure
On a storyteller's night

See the night sky supernova
Chase the cold moon passing over
Start the dragon's fire to smoulder
On a storyteller's night


12. ROCKIN' CHAIR

You want love
You get hate
Oh you push and you shove
You know you just can't wait
You've had your fun
You don't fool no one
You build it up
To tear it down
Runnin out of luck
I won't get kicked around
I could drive all night
Till you're out of sight
Hide and seek
Turnin' on the heat
Runnin like a cadillac
I'm so sick and tired
You're a damn dirty liar
When I run
I ain't comming back
Oh you better beware
Keep on rocking this house
Baby I don't care
Breakin' out this jailhouse
We're going nowhere
I ain't ready for no
Rockin' chair
When you came
You played rough
Now I know your game
And you ain't good enough
On't know what you've done
'Cause you ain't begun
You fool with me
You gotta understand
That you don't get to choose
Whe night comes around
I can't be found
Hide and seek
Turnin' on the heat
Runnin like a cadillac
I'm so sick and tired
You're a damn dirty liar
When I run
I ain't comming back
Oh you better beware
Keep on rocking this house
Baby I don't care
Breakin' out this jailhouse
We're going nowhere
I ain't ready for no
Rockin' chair
Red sky burnin'
Won't be no returnin' so long
Fire up the motor
Don't you get no closer
Yeah I'm gone
Oh you better beware
Keep on rocking this house
Baby I don't care
Breakin' out this jailhouse
We're going nowhere
I ain't ready for no
Rockin' chair
I need my rockin'
But I don't need no
Rockin' chair


13. KINGDOM OF MADNESS

When the night is on the run and your dreams are almost Gone
Seas of fire snatch your soul, beast of morning then unfold
In a whirlpool sadness creeps, shadows walk with silent Feet
Is there something in the air, turns your hope into Despair?
Despair!

Ooh, oh, kingdom of madness - you've got me undone
Oh, kingdom of madness - you've really begun
Oh, kingdom of madness - you've got me on the run

When the night is on the run and your dreams are almost Gone
Seas of fire snatch your soul, beast of morning then Unfold, ooh, yeah!
Take your hands away from me, leave my eyes, so I can see
It's not pleasure that you seek, you destroy the ones who Are weak
Ooh, yes, you do!

Oh, kingdom of madness - you've got me undone
Oh, kingdom of madness - you've really begun
Oh, kingdom of madness - you've got me on the run

The minstrel sings as he looks at me but he doesn't make a Sound
And a lovely time is had by all as the jester plays around
Everyone's laughing, everyone's laughing, everyone's Laughing at me!

Oh, kingdom of madness - you've got me undone
Oh, kingdom of madness - you've really begun
Oh, kingdom of madness - you've got me on the run

Oh, kingdom of madness - you've got me undone
Oh, kingdom of madness - you've really begun
Oh, kingdom of madness - you've got me on the run...


14. SACRED HOUR

All of my dreams that fell through and had tasted so sour
Take second place in my mind for this one sacred hour
Still I've been moved for so long by this strange Fascination
Here as I stand all alone in complete concentration

Face through the clouds in the Gods shine with awe and Splendour
Rise up and roar they approve will they always remember
I hear the voice of the crowd, it will last forever
Locked in my heart kept away like a stolen treasure

I can hear them calling
Hear the crowd applauding
If it's real I like the feeling
If I'm wrong who am I deceiving?

Night after night it repeats an exciting romance
Shared by us all though we met by a fleeting half-chance
Caught, trapped in time no escape from this powerful Dreamworld
Pleased though I am to be here I am lost in the real world


15. WHEN THE WORLD COMES DOWN

Hiding somewhere out of sight,
Oh, you alright

Feeling, pulled from left to right,
Oh, you alright

You're been alone again tonight,
No one has called

If they had known,
I think they might,
'Cause you've got it all, yeah

There are times it's hard to swallow...
When the world comes down on you...
May it shine on you tomorrow...
And your dreams, they all come true...

Oho...

I hear you crying to yourself,
Oh, that's not right

And I know you,
Oh, you need somebody's help,
Oh, for tonight

But you sit alone,
Turn off your light, feeling so small

You should have known how well you might,
You've got it all

There are times it's hard to swallow...
When the world comes down on you...
May it shine on you tomorrow...
And your dreams, they all come true...

There are times it's hard to swallow...
Oh, when the world comes down on you...
May it shine on you tomorrow...
Oh, and your dreams, they all come true...

Sing it...

Oh - oh - oh

May all your dreams come true...
Dreams come true for you...
I want them to...
