Lyrics

1. HEARTBROKE AND BUSTED

What you gonna do on your own
Even wonder should you ever go home
Here come those feelings can't be right
You think nobody's gonna miss you tonight

Mistrusted heartbroke and busted
So where's the justice

Gonna be alright when love comes around
No hurricane wind blowing
Can slow you down
You be alright when love comes around

You say that you've never known
The kind of love that gets down deep
In your soul
You're still reelin' from the fight
You wouldn't know it if it hit you tonight

Mistrusted heartbroke and busted
So where's the justice

Gonna be alright when love comes around
No hurricane wind blowing
Can slow you down
You be alright when love comes around

And I will never know
The questions you?re asking
I know nothing at all
How can you stand upon
The judgement you're passing
When you don't even know the cause

Mistrusted heartbroke and busted
So where's the justice

Gonna be alright when love comes around


2. LES MORTS DANSANTS (ACOUSTIC VERSION)

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

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


3. HANGING TREE

Don't look down again
Shine a magic light
Across the silver plain
Well, there's something wrong tonight

Hooded heads fly by
The strangers' bears a knife
Once the wind does cry
You had better pray not fight

Riders stir the dust
Fire across the sky
A sacrifice is just
Someone's going to die
Hanging tree does creep
It's bitterness runs deep
The words of mercy speak
This weeping tree won't sleep

Across the sea of hate
Where did it begin?
The greed of hearts misplace
The brave and different skin


4. CRY FOR YOU

I'm standing in your doorway
Like I've done a thousand times
I keep waiting for an answer
That don't come
I can get thru anything
Live thru any storm life can bring
But when it comes to losing you
There's nothing I can do

But cry for you baby
Die everytime
That I hear your name
Don't know what to do
A man shouldn't cry
Like I cry for you
Ever since you said goodbye
Baby every single night
I cry for you

I keep staring at your window
Trying to see thru your walls
Cos the wall that we built
Ain't always made of stone
I'm standing out in the rain
Knowing I can't touch you again
It's the hardest thing to take
The thought of it makes me

Cry for you baby
Die everytime
That I hear your name
Don't know what to do
A man shouldn't cry
Like I cry for you
Ever since you said goodbye
Baby every single night
I cry for you

Blame it on pride
My fatal mistake
Cos I never stopped loving you
I never said a word
I just let you go
Now I'm paying for it all

Ever since you said goodbye
Baby every single night
I cry for you
Cry for you baby
Die everytime

That I hear your name
Don't know what to do
A man shouldn't cry
Like I cry for you
Ever since you said goodbye
Cry for you baby
Die everytime
That I hear your name
Don't know what to do
A man shouldn't cry

Like I cry for you
Cry for you
