Lyrics


1. WE ALL NEED TO BE LOVED

You're caught up in anger, trying to hurt
That feeling will change you, just like a curse

You say you don't feel it
- we all need to be loved
You say don't believe it
- we all need to be loved

You think you're so clever, don't get it wrong
Cause you should know better than just play along

You say you don't feel it
- we all need to be loved
You say don't believe it
- we all need to be loved

Deep in the night, when you're alone
Shadows will fall, you'll hear your name when no one has called

Well there's no power as strong as love is
With love you've got it all
There's no power as strong as love is
You can open any door

Your message is clouded, make yourself clear
Your alibi's faded, spill one more tear

You say you don't feel it
- we all need to be loved
You say don't believe it
- we all need to be loved

Deep in the night, when you're alone
Shadows will fall, you'll hear your name when no one has called

Well there's no power as strong as love is
With love you've got it all
There's no power as strong as love is
You can open any door

We all need to be loved...
We all need to be loved...

(Guitar Solo)

Well there's no power as strong as love is
With love you've got it all

There's no power as strong as love is
You can open any door

There's no power as strong as love is
With love you've got it all

There's no power as strong as love is
You can open any door


2. HARD HEARTED WOMAN

When love walked in and put a smile on your face
Quickened your step and put you back on the case
When love walked in, when love walked in
I swear you never had a chance when love walked in

When love walked in, you got in out of the rain
Running yourself into a full hurricane
When love walked in, when love walked in
Way down in never-never land when love walked in

She's a hard hearted woman, she's going to make you cry
She's all made up, got the devil in her eye
Knows what she wants, you'd better do what you can
A hard hearted woman is going to make a fool of a man

When love walked in, it made you empty your head
Played with your heart and put your senses to bed
When love walked in, when love walked in
Hit you like a runaway train when love walked in


3. BACK IN YOUR ARMS AGAIN

I used to do ya like this, do ya like that
This way, thata way anyway but the right way
Was OK, baby
Oh, I guess you had to leave before I could see
That you're the only one with everything I need
But you won't even call me, you won't even talk to me
Come on and talk to me

(Chorus:)
Oh, baby, if I could be back in your arms again
Tell you all the things I should have said back then
I wanna let you know just how wrong I've been
Oh how wrong I've been
Oh, honey, you know if I could just hold you one more time
Tell you all the things that I got on my mind
How could this grown girl be so blind
How could I be so blind
You used to do me so good, do me so right
Every time I need you in the middle of the night
You'd be right there, baby
Oh, I never thought I'd wake up and you'd be gone
If you can find it in your heart to come back home
Honey, if you'd let me I could make it up to you
I'll make it up to you

(Repeat Chorus)
I was havin' me a good time
Givin' you a bad line
Every time I got home
But now I'm goin insane
I thought I had a good thing
My good things good as gone


4. ROCK HEAVY

All you people, got to get together
Don't confuse it, try to make it better
No more nation against nation, all this narrow vision
All you lawyers, all you teachers and you politicians

Are you ready? Are you ready?
Amen, I'll say it again
Are you ready?
Rock heavy, oh, rock heavy

Got to stand up for the sense and reason
Talk it over and we'll start believing
We're not guilty or suspicious of different dress and colour
All you preachers, all you bankers and you mathematicians

A change has got to come
A change for everyone


5. THE TALL SHIPS

Daybreak and they'll be waiting
Nervous out in the cold
Searching the blue horizon
Praying they'll soon be home
Sweethearts, parents and lovers
Hear them say

The tall ships are coming in
They ride like a ghost on the tide
They come way down from rio
The tall ships are coming in
Fifty-nine days without land
Six thousand miles, way down from rio
And they travelled by the stars
Guided on the way by the southern cross

Under Sugar Loaf Mountain
Down in boto fargo bay
Christ on Corco Vado
All seems so far away
Close by, all point skyward
Five fingers of god


6. TELL TALE EYES

She gives it everything she's got
I believe it's going to be a lot
'Cause deep in her heart
She's got a steam hammer pumping, keeps jumping
You know, you know, you know, you know
There's nothing in the world that makes you feel that something

She don't know she's got the key
But she's working at it desperately
You can tell by her walk
She's just a natural lover, no cover
You know, you know, you know, you know
There's nothing in the world compares or makes you suffer

Like the feel of a woman, feel of a woman
Feel of a woman, leaves me defenceless
Like the tears of a woman and those tell tale eyes
Tears of a woman, still leaves me helpless


7. LOVE'S A STRANGER

There's a time you will remember
Not too many years gone by
When the flame became an ember
Truth became a lie
Kiss them all and say goodbye

And in our minds we have been tempted
Every man would be a king
Some imagined, some invented
Freedom on the wing
We had a dream for everything

Have you heard
Love's a stranger in this cruel world
Have you heard
There's a danger you might get hurt

I won't take down the road that you can't follow
Or desert you on a sea of dreams
And I won't promise you the world is yours tomorrow
I won't leave you, nothing's bad as it may seem

You can choose but you can't borrow
From the bible or the gun
One's salvation, one is sorrow
Justice will be done
And make its claim on everyone


8. HUSH-A-BYE BABY

There's a reason for everything living
Maybe frightened alone in the night
But there's someone near and forgiving
Who treads softly to turn on the light

There's a reason for everyone's laughter
Like a river it always will flow
But there's something we are all after
When that icy wind's starting to blow

Hush-a-bye baby
Born in this crazy world
Hush-a-bye baby
Falling for every word
Hush-a-bye baby, baby
Hush-a-bye baby, baby

There's a reason we all get lonely
Like a fool on the edge of a crowd
When that feeling comes sneaking up slowly
And your world has comes tumbling down


9. JUST THIS SIDE OF HEAVEN

She was a fragile girl
A prisoner in a golden cage
But she didn't time it right
She walked out in a blinding rage
She danced in the moonlight
Before it began
With no one beside her
She dreamed of that man

Just this side of heaven
Shame to be
Just this side of heaven
Get back to reality

Now she doesn't have a choice
She wonders as she goes insane
Says his hands are cold as ice
They come down like the pouring rain
The spell has been broken
The deed has been done
From words that were spoken
She's in need of someone


10. I WILL DECIDE MYSELF

Just for a moment, get yourself back into time
Did things seem better then, see what you can find
Those years you treasured like a jewel in midnight sky
You can't face tomorrow and you won't tell me why

I will decide myself, no chains on me
I will decide myself, I am set free

Once everything we knew has disappeared so fast
We used up all the things we thought would always last
No tears in heaven, that's the story you've been told
It can't last forever but I don't believe that's so

Would you give up everything?
Give up everything, give up everything
Would you give up everything?
Give up everything, give up everything
For just another day


11. ON CHRISTMASS DAY

Not a tree on the skyline
Nor a bird in the wing
Whispers frozen for all time
No man's land will be king

Left deserted a cold smile
From the way they've been served
Virgin mother and her child
Turn their face from the world

Just for a moment, they're only men

On christmas day
There'll be no killing or fighting
On christmas day
There'll be no thunder and lighting
On christmas day
On christmas day

Many years they'll remember
And they'll toast absent friends
On that cold day, december
They'll be back there again

The wind blows cruel and hostile, on that deserted land
No shepherd sacrifice the lamb
While prayers of guilt and duty, race upwards to the sky
Collide in fearsome combat cry

The guns and the ships and the planes of every county
For the wins and the gains, what a price, it's much too high
Don't look away and wonder, this savage poetry
Is set to drag you under with arms of jealousy

The sun won't rise up shining, on fields of evergreen
Shot down by a crossfire with a scream
The seasons change so slowly and bring on winter's song
Till no one knows where they belong
