Lyrics
1. LONELY NIGHT
I'm looking for someone
In this old crazy world tonight
I can't take this heartbreak
In this old crazy world tonight
I'm feeling so empty
In this old crazy world tonight
I'm restless defenceless
In this unholy world tonight
I never learn
O lonely night
Disappear
O lonely night
Don't you come around here
O lonely night
Lonely lonely night
I'm waiting for something
To put these foolish things to right
Protected accepted
I need it now I need it right
I'm feeling so empty
In this old lonely world's tonight
I'm restless defenceless
In this unholy world tonight
For love we burn
We never learn
We never learn
O lonely night
Disappear
O lonely night
Don't you come around here
O lonely night
O lonely night
Disappear
O lonely night
Don't you come around here
O lonely night
2. 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
3. SOMETIME LOVE
I'm looking round at the posters on the damp wall
Hear static on the radio
There's no sound from the mission or the dance hall
No place that I want to go
Broke up am I dreaming it's a sad day
Too much to be sitting here alone
Bad luck and it's gonna be a long day
There's no number I can telephone telephone
When you fall
It's no game
Cause if you do it over and over again and again and again
Sometime love is very strange
Sometime love takes you apart at every stage
Sometime love will break your heart
Break your heart or what remains
Sometime love takes you apart drives you insane
Day breaks and it starts another heartache
Hurts bad reaching out for someone
The games up here comes another heartbreak
All this and it's only just begun
When you fall
It's no game
If you do it over and over again and again and again
And again and again
Sometime love is very strange
Sometime love takes you apart at every stage
Sometime love will break your heart
Break your heart or what remains
Sometime love takes you apart drives you insane
And again and again
Sometime love is very strange
Sometime love takes you apart at every stage
Sometime love will break your heart
Break your heart or what remains
sometime love takes you apart drives you insane
Driving you insane
4. MIDNIGHT (YOU WON'T BE SLEEPING)
I know how it feels to cry
But it's only lovers know the reason why
They stay together
And when your time has come
You'll soon discover look at what you've done
Could be forever
Your open arms say everything
You're always there
It seems I might be here all night
I'll light a candle bright
To show your way tonight
Midnight you won't be sleeping
I won't be leaving
Off with my foolish pride
Too much in trouble never could decide
Always a struggle
Now I know how it feels to cry
It's only lovers know the reason why
They stay together
Your open arms say everything
You're always there
It seems I might be here all night
I'll light a candle bright
To show your way tonight
Midnight you won't be sleeping
I won't be leaving
I'll light a candle bright
To show your way tonight
Midnight you won't be sleeping
I won't be leaving
It seems I might be here all night
I'll light a candle bright
5. RED ON THE HIGHWAY
Red on the highway diamonds in the sky
A million stilettos cutting tears from your eye
Peppered with starshell pouring silver rain
Falling like lumber but you're feeling no pain
You can't run
Can't run
Can't run away
Can't run na na na na na na na
Can't run away
Blood in the river terror spikes your soul
It's louder than thunder way down deep in this hole
There's a light in the mountain a fireball in the town
Tornado in the making and a shaking in the ground
You can't run
Can't run
Can't run away
Can't run na na na na na na
Can't run away
Trapped in the shadows feeling ragged and torn
Radio message bringing no help at all
There's a light in the mountain a fireball in the town
Tornado in the making and a shaking in the ground
You can't run
Can't run
Can't run away
Can't run na na na na na na
Can't run away
6. HOLY RIDER
Holy rider takes to the air
Holy rider please beware
Carry the news with care
Holy rider it's time to start
Holy rider brave in the dark
Though we are just a spark
Made up of many parts
Down from the hills
Everyone race
Witness the time
Heaven will weigh the heart of stone
Heart of stone
Watch it break
Break the heart of stone
Holy rider take to the air
Holy rider please beware
Carry the news with care
Promise we'll all be there
Different in shape
Colour of face
Equally bought
But heaven will weigh the heart of stone
Heart of stone
Watch it break
Break the heart of stone
Down from the hills
Everyone race
Witness the time
Heaven will weigh
Different in shape
Colour of face
Equally bought
But heaven will weigh the heart of stone
Heart of stone
Watch it break
Break the heart of stone
Heart of stone
Watch it break
Break the heart of stone
7. 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...
8. VIGILANTE
Racing in the shadows 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 borders
Got the people running scared
Standing on the corner never got things done
If you leave your front door open
You'll be the foolish one
No misunderstanding no honour among thieves
It's a sorry situation
When a gun is all you need
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 it's arriving tonight
There's no more hiding or running
There's no more walking on ice
Racing in the shadows 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 borders
Got the people running scared
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 it's arriving tonight
There's no more hiding or running
There's no more walking on ice
Hold on there's a new way a comin'
Looks like it's arriving tonight
There's no more hiding or running
There's no more walking on ice
Hold on there's a new way a comin'
Looks like it's arriving tonight
There's no more hiding or running
There's no more walking on ice
Vigilante vigilante man
Vigilante call the vigilante man
9. BACK STREET KID
He had eyes of the poor wild and hungry
Stood outside of the store shy and clumsy
Saw an electric guitar he got hooked from the start
That's what it did
To the back street kid
It's a dangerous game might come to nothing
Very hard to explain the pushing and the shoving
Still the sound in his ears and the many lean years
Taught him to live
The back street kid
Everyone was singing
Dream dream back street kid
Dream dream dream dream back street kid
He spends hours on his own he's still learning
Learns to wait for the phone ideas burning
And from liberty hall he will rise or he'll fall
That's how he'll live
The back street kid
All the kids were singing
Dream dream back street kid
Dream dream dream dream back street kid
He stepped into the rain cold and empty
Whispered never again not contented
Walked off into the night he walked far out of sight
So much to give
The back street kid
Dream dream back street kid
Dream dream dream dream back street kid
Hear your mama calling
Dream dream back street kid
Dream dream dream dream back street kid
Dream on back street kid
