1. STRENGTH IN NUMBERS

Lord gimme strength tonight!

School boy barely seventeen
He's got to play it tough, he's got to play it mean
Locked and loaded on the street
He's got a trigger finger for anyone that he meets, oh oh

He's seen it on the T.V., the hero stands alone
He can't turn to anyone and it cuts him to the bone

There is strength in numbers there is strength in love
Strength in numbers there is strength in love
Strength in numbers you can hide but you can't run
Hand to hand we stand together, strength enough for everyone

Powder money makes the law
And no one wants to break the spell at all, not at all
It seems that push has come to shove
And dirty romance takes the place of love where is love?

Grid lock doing ninety, trying to get ahead
Got to fight my way through all this traffic in my head

There is strength in numbers there is strength in love
Strength in numbers there is strength in love
Strength in numbers you can hide but you can't run
Hand to hand we stand together, strength enough for everyone

[Solo]

We've been told to walk away from anyone that doesn't look the same
Not the same
What's the reason? Who's to blame?
Who's the first to finally break the chain?
C'mon we're breaking the chains

Some will call for justice, some will scream for blood
Some will run for cover, but it won't do you no good

There is strength in numbers there is strength in love
Strength in numbers there is strength in love
Strength in numbers you can hide but you can't run
Strength in numbers strength enough for everyone
Strength in numbers can you feel the strength in love
Strength in numbers don't you need the strength in love
Strength in numbers you can hide, you can hide
Strength in numbers strength enough for everyone
Strength in numbers there is strength, there is strength in love
Strength in numbers... (to fade)


2. RESCUE ME

Had to write this letter to you, 'cause this emptiness won't go away
Every day I shoot for something, sometimes I'm running from the ricochet
When the pressure gets too high, I like to think about you standing by my side

Saying, "And I need to hear you call my name, and I'm begging you to sing"

Wouldn't you sing for me one time?
Wouldn't you try to look my way and rescue me (rescue me)
Wouldn't you sing me just one line
Wouldn't you try to touch my hand and rescue me, rescue me, yeah yeah, yeah

Got the letter late one morning, every word I read was ringing true
It could have well been me talking, I know how tough it gets out there, I do
When the pressure gets too high, I like to think about you standing by my side

And you were saying:
"And I need to hear you call my name, it makes me feel I could do anything
And I need to know you feel the same, and I'm begging you to sing"

Wouldn't you sing for me one time?
Wouldn't you try to look my way and rescue me (rescue me)
Wouldn't you sing me just one line
Wouldn't you try to touch my hand and rescue me, rescue me, yeah yeah, yeah
Whoo!

[Solo]

Wouldn't you sing for me one time?
Wouldn't you try to look my way and rescue me (rescue me)
Wouldn't you sing me just one line
Wouldn't you try to touch my hand and rescue me, rescue me, yeah yeah, yeah

Wouldn't you sing for me one time?
Wouldn't you try to look my way and rescue me (rescue me)
Wouldn't you sing me just one line
Wouldn't you try to touch my hand and rescue me, rescue me, yeah yeah, yeah


3. THE END OF THE SUMMER DAYS

There's an old pair of sneakers dangling from a wire
And my old rusty engine is in need of some brand new tires
And from my front steps, the last of the weekend vettes goes blasting by
Won't be nothing so cold as this beach in the winter time

Sun's been down since you've been gone, and I don't know why or for how long
The same old record played
I've been trying to move along, but I keep on singing the same old song
The end of the summer days, end of the summer days

I can still hear you laugh, with your hair blowing back in my car
I can still feel your curves, when we danced in that boardwalk bar
And I can still taste your lips from that one last stolen kiss
By the firelight
Won't be nothing so cold as this beach in the winter time

Sun's been down since you've been gone, and I don't know why or for how long
The same old record played
I've been trying to move along, but I keep on singing the same old song
The end of the summer days, end of the summer days

[Solo]

One day you just felt a change and slipped away
Maybe it was never meant to be
Now the sound of footsteps makes me hope and pray you're coming back to me

There's a warm breeze that's blowing as the shadows go tumbling by
And it's picking up sand, and that must be what's in my eye

Sun's been down since you've been gone, and I don't know why or for how long
The same old record played
I've been trying to move along, but I keep on singing the same old song
The end of the summer days, end of the summer days

Sun's been down since you've been gone, and I don't know why or for how long
The same old record played
I've been trying to move along, but I keep on singing the same old song
The end of the summer days, end of the summer days

End of the summer days, oooh


4. AIN'T THAT LOVE

Well I can't stop my hands from shaking, when you call me and you want to meet
And I get to the corner an hour before
Just to watch you coming down the street

If you don't want me, if you don't call, to tell me what's been on your mind
I'll be breaking my windows and climbing my walls
Drinking whiskey till it makes me blind

I've been kicked and I've been beaten on since I don't know when
I can only find one reason why I'd put myself through that again

Well, I think I'm going crazy (ain't that love)
Bending over backwards (ain't that love) just ain't enough
I don't know what you were thinking of but
If that ain't love, I don't know what is

Well I listen to your momma bitching, while she's blowing smoke into my eyes
And your daddy keeps his pistol loaded, right behind his dress rehearsal smile

You use your double edged razor tongue, to try and keep me in my place
Why do I always kiss your lips, when I really want to slap your face?

I've been kicked and I've been beaten on since I don't know when
I can only find one reason why I'd put myself through that again

Well, I think I'm going crazy (ain't that love)
Bending over backwards (ain't that love) just ain't enough
I don't know what you were thinking of but
If that ain't love, I don't know what is

[Solo]

Ah, it's a sad sad story

When the sun goes down and I'm getting home
You're waiting to give me your demands
Don't even look at my takehome pay, I just put that money in your hands hey

I've been kicked and I've been beaten on since I don't know when
I can only find one reason why I'd put myself through that again

Well, I think I'm going crazy (ain't that love)
Bending over backwards (ain't that love) just ain't enough
I don't know what you were thinking of but
If that ain't love, I don't know what is

Well, I think I'm going crazy (ain't that love)
Bending over backwards (ain't that love) just ain't enough
I don't know what you were thinking of but
If that ain't love, I don't know what is

(Ain't that love) Said I don't know what is
(Ain't that love) Don't need no mama comin' to my house
standin' on my porch, kickin' my door down
(Ain't that love) Comin' (with wet hands)
I don't know, I don't know know, yeah
(Ain't that love)


5. CATCH MY FALL

I count the headlights on the highway spinning 'round
Until the sparkle blurs my eyes
I want to run until I break the speed of sound
So I can't hear the voice inside
Where it hides

Where can I look to find the strenght to try again
Who knows a place I can call home?
How can I face a world that's too quick to condemn
A soul that isn't like their own
All alone

Where do we go from here?
Running from pain and fear
Where do we go from ..
Here we are, changed forever
Always together

Whatever may happen
Wherever you go
I will always be with you
And you won't walk alone
If ever I stumble
Whenever I fall
You will be there to catch my fall

You said that you would walk beside me close at hand
You said that love would be my guard
One set of footprints stretched behind me in the sand
You must have carried me this far
And for so long

Where do we go from here?
Running from pain and fear
Where do we go from ..
Here we are, changed forever
Always together

Whatever may happen
Wherever you go
I will always be with you
And you won't walk alone
If ever I stumble
Whenever I fall
You will be there to catch my fall

Road goes on
For so long
We are on our own
But we're not alone
Someone will catch my fall

[Solo]

Where do we go from here?
Running from pain and fear
Where do we go from ..
Here we are, changed forever
Always together

Whatever may happen
Wherever you go
I will always be with you
And you won't walk alone
If ever I stumble
Whenever I fall
You will be there to catch my fall

Whatever may happen
Wherever you go
I will always be with you
And you won't walk alone
Into every lifetime
A little rain will fall
You will be there to catch my fall

Whatever may happen
Wherever you go
I will always be with you
And you won't walk alone
If ever I stumble
Whenever I fall
You will be there to catch my fall


6. THE LAST SUNSET

Johnny too bad now, don'tcha know
As he pushed that old Chevy down to Mexico
Thought he'd give Vera Cruz a whirl
Picking up the language from the local girls
People say this world sure can chew you up
But he lived by the dice trusting his good luck alright

So he found himself a home and he got a girl
And he didn't want for nothing in this whole world
Swore he'd give up running if they'd let him be
Living was simple but it sure was free
Hey there, darling what's your hurry now?
Come sit with me and watch the sun go down

And you can see him smile when the day is done
'Cause the last sunset is the prettiest one
The last sunset is the prettiest one

Wasn't long before the sirens came
From miles away like they were calling his name
Found a picture that he'd never seen, taken at the last bank in Abilene

So he says to his wife, "My running days are done"
And he sits on his porch and he lets them come

And you can see him smile when the day is done
'Cause the last sunset is the prettiest one
The last sunset is the prettiest one

And you can see him smile when the day is done
'Cause the last sunset is the prettiest one
The last sunset is the prettiest one


7. ALL OVER ME

Hah hah, be careful now
Oooh

Lucy would swear she made a deal with the devil
I don't know but it might be on the level
Under a spell, you know, she put me on the table
And dinner was served

Simmer just to boiling, serve this boy up so well done, oh yeah
Flavour him to taste, don't let none go to waste

She got the motion, she got the need, she got it all over me
She got the rhythm, my baby got the beat, you know she got it all over me

Cindy was sweet but she could get kinda manly
No doubt about who wear the pants in the family
Do what she says or it could get nasty "Get over here boy!"

Mmm she love adventure, swashes buckled all the way down now now yeah
Now you're puss in boots, got my head in the noose

She got the motion, she got the need, she got it all over me
She got the rhythm, my baby got the beat, you know she got it all over me

[Solo]

Now you're puss in boots, well a well I got my head in the noose

She got the motion, she got the need, she got it all over me
She got the rhythm, my baby got the beat, you know she got it all over me

She got the motion, she got the need need need need need
She got it all over me


8. WRITE YOUR NAME IN THE SKY

I must have stood on that runway for hours
I must have watched a hundred planes fade away
I said goodbye to every one of them, and every one took you away again

But if I need to know that you're waiting
And if I need to hear that you're mine

Write your name in the sky, set it flying so high
Let the wind blow it my way (write your name in the sky)
Throw a message in the sea, send it sailing to me
Take these clouds from my eyes, write your name in the sky

I tell my secrets to your picture
I catch the smell of you on my pillow at night
Sometimes I don't know what goes on inside my head
And I hope I told you everything I should have said

But if I need to know that you're waiting
And if I need to hear that you're mine

Write your name in the sky, set it flying so high
Let the wind blow it my way (write your name in the sky)
Throw a message in the sea, send it sailing to me
Take these clouds from my eyes, write your name in the sky

[Solo]

But if I need to know that you're waiting
And if I need to hear that you're mine

Write your name in the sky, set it flying so high
Let the wind blow it my way (write your name in the sky)
Throw a message in the sea, send it sailing to me
Take these clouds from my eyes, write your name in the sky

Write your name in the sky, set it flying so high
Let the wind blow it my way (write your name in the sky)
Throw a message in the sea, send it sailing to me
Take these clouds from my eyes, write your name in the sky

In the sky


9. MEET ME IN THE NIGHT

Somebody's calling out your secret name
And your window's being kissed by stones
Baby can you hear my silent serenade
When I'm standing in the dark alone

We could never show, and we could never tell
'Bout the wildfire in our veins
Crashing down the doors and breaking all the spells
'Till nothing but the love remains

Colours clash, colours fly, colours bleed when the tears run dry
Colours run, but they can't hide, still we gotta try

Meet me in the night, baby say a prayer
We will never lose our way
Meet me in the night, say that you'll be there
Never fade away

Flying through the chill of the Ohio night
Their laughter echoes in the air
Drive across the river to the other side
Nobody will know us there

Colours clash, colours fly, colours bleed when the tears run dry
Colours run, but they can't hide, still we gotta try

Meet me in the night, baby say a prayer
We will never lose our way
Meet me in the night, say that you'll be there
Never fade away

Meet me in the night, baby say a prayer
We will never lose our way
Meet me in the night, say that you'll be there
Never fade away

Meet me in the night, say that you'll be there
Never fade away
Meet me in the night, say that you'll be there
Never fade away

Meet me in the night, say that you'll be there
Meet me in the night, baby say a prayer
Meet me in the night, say that you'll be there
Meet me in the night, baby say a prayer

Meet me in the night...


10. WHY DO YOU CRY?

One night my girl got restless, said "We never go out no more"
I said, "I work too hard for dancing", said she didn't and slammed the door
That girl she done me murder, and her getaway was clean
I wonder why did she cry, when it's me that's getting mean?

I swore I wouldn't follow, but my pride got the best of me
When I found her in his arms, they were all that I could see
Now some say love is blind, it must be crazy from the heat
Tell me why do you cry, when it's him lying in the street?

Tell me now why do you cry? Baby, what can the matter be?
Was that teardrop in your eye just for me?
Tell me now why do you cry? Ain't you got what you waited for?
You can cry out your eyes alone, forevermore

Yeah yeah yeah, mmmmm

Looks like the sky is falling, falling down on me
I'm like Adam caught red handed, right beneath that old apple tree
Now she got what she wanted, and I got ten to life
Tell me why do you cry, when it's me holding the knife?

Tell me now why do you cry? Baby, what can the matter be?
Was that teardrop in your eye just for me?
Tell me now why do you cry? Ain't you got what you waited for?
You can cry out your eyes alone, forevermore

[Solo]

Tell me now why do you cry? Baby, what can the matter be?
Was that teardrop in your eye just for me?
Tell me now why do you cry? Ain't you got what you waited for?
You can cry out your eyes alone, forevermore

Meanwhile, I was still thinkin'


11. INHERIT THE WIND

Hey!

Someone get the doctor, gypsy woman weave your magic spell
Shaman do your rain dance, looks like Mother Earth is mad as hell

Where you gonna run when the lightning strikes?
How you gonna put out the fire?
Flying like a moth to the brightest light, burning on the road of desire huh

Red man sitting waiting, watching Adam's garden go to seed
Dancing with the devil
He knows you're gonna have to let that ole' scratch lead

Tell me, what you gonna do when it all goes down
And there ain't another piece of the pie?
Old ways got to be the best ways now to pull our fats out of the fire

Who will inherit the wind when the shadows fall?
Winner takes nothing, nothing at all

Sparks on the horizon, smell the rain that's coming on the wind
Prophet give a warning, pray before the fireworks begin

Better stay away from the white man's road, better not touch what you find
Medicine man will be carrying the load, turning back the hands of time

Who will inherit the wind when the shadows fall?
Winner takes nothing, nothing at all

Who will inherit the wind when the shadows fall?
Winner takes nothing, nothing at all

There's no time, hmmm no time at all
Hear that clock ticking, feel you breathing down my neck, I tell you why

'Cause we're a far cry from putting it right
And we're a stone's throw away
There's a cold wind that's gonna blow on you tonight
Evil spirits keep away
Yeah yeah yeah!

Who will inherit the wind when the shadows fall?
Winner takes nothing, nothing at all


12. STANDING ALONE ('94 REMIX)

Staring out the window like I'm waiting for a change
If I stare long enough i'd see it when it came
Use the book of numbers by the silent telephone
Called up everyone I found but didnt talk to no one

And the rain comes down as if its trying to wash me away
And there ain't no romantic movie lines like i said

Standing alone like i got no where to go
Standing alone like the day that i was born out on my own
I believe this boy had grown
Standing alone

Ain't no way to take a blow when every cheek's been turned
I can't show another side when every side's been burned
I'm helpless can't find a raging heart
And I got no use for being torn apart
And the world don't seem to have no use for me
Cuz you've given nothing and nothing isn't free

Standing alone like I got nowhere to go
Standing alone like the day that I was born
Out on my own I believe this boy grown
Standing alone

Can't keep it all inside
I need someone to stand with me by my side
Give me something to fight
Something to hold on to
I just don't wanna be standing alone

And the rain comes down as if its trying to wash me away
And there ain't no romantic movie lines like I said

Standing alone like I got no where to go
Standing alone like the day that I was born
Out on my own I believe this boy has grown
Standing alone like I got nowhere to go
Standing alone like the day that I was born
Out on my own I believe this boy has grown
Standing alone
