1. INTRO

(Instrumental)


2. CHANGES

Oh, oh
With every word I hear there's no sympathy
It was destroyed and swept away
It was replaced by something I can't see
To stay forever and always (oh, oh)

We really should try and talk it out
Avoid the same mistake again
But I can see that there will be no doubt
Looks like we have reached the end

Oh, I'm going through changes
Oh so many changes
I'm losing my senses, don't know what to do
I'll go through my changes, faster then you

Is there no one
Who feels the same as me

I'm going through changes
Oh so many changes
I'm losing my senses, don't know what to do

I'm going through changes
Oh so many changes yeah yeah yeah
I'm losing my senses, don't know what to do
I'm going through changes, hey

Oh, oh
Going through changes
Oh, oh, oh, oh


3. BACK TO EARTH

I miss those evenings and the company
When lights go down around this place
The nights are long and go on endlessly
And I forget the human race

But there's one thing that brings me back to earth
Please tell her...

Tell her I need her, tell her I want her
Tell her I miss her more, everyday
Tell her I need her, ooh, tell her I want her
Tell her I miss her more, everyday

I take the days and spend them crazily
Could be the last ones of my life
And what I thought that would be ecstasy
Holds no surprise, but still shines bright

But there's one thing that brings me back to earth
Please tell her...

Tell her I need her, tell her I want her
Tell her I miss her more, everyday
Tell her I need her, ooh, tell her I want her
Tell her I miss her more, everyday

Ooh, time comes, time goes, sunlight, shadows
I need her with me, all too clearly, everybody knows

Tell her I need her, tell her I want her
Tell her I miss her more and more, everyday
Tell her I need her, ooh, tell her I want her
Tell her I miss her more and more, everyday


4. JUST LIKE AN ARROW

We talk endlessly, don't get anywhere
Born in reality, cradled in care
If you needed me or mistreated me
Won't you still be there

And those lonely nights, when you find it hard
Losing your appetite, breaking apart
If you needed me or mistreated me
Don't break my heart

It goes deep my love, only for you
Just like an arrow
It goes deep my love, only for you
Just like an arrow
Straight through your heart


5. LOVE IS 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

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


6. 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


7. TWO HEARTS

Send my love
On the telephone
No one answers
No one's home
Call after call
I just get nothing at all

Dirty feelings
They can't be right
Try again
For tomorrow night
No luck at all
Has got me walking the walls

Good love
Forsaken
Two hearts
One breaking

Good love
Mistaken
Two hearts
One achin'


8. 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

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

A change has got to come
A change for everyone

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


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 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

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

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


CD 2

1. WILD SWAN

Wild swan, follow the river,
Don't fly through dangerous skies

On and on,
From bow and quiver,
Ride over mountains so high

Over fields and the ruin of castles,
Into the evening we soar

City lights begin to sparkle like diamonds thrown to the Floor

Fly home, it's just me and you, your only son
Fly home, I've been waiting to, the time has come
Oh, fly home, it's just me and you, your only son
Fly home, I've been waiting to, the time has come
Oh, time has come...

Yeah! - Coming home...

Oh! - Coming home...

Wild swan, follow the river,
Don't fly through dangerous skies
Oh, on and on, from bow and quiver,
Ride over mountains so high

Oh, ooh, out to sea on the wings of heaven,
Where silver cuts like a knife

Say farewell to the ships of the ocean,
We travel into the night

Oh!

Listen, fly home, it's just me and you, your only son
Fly home, I've been waiting to, the time has come
Fly home, it's just me and you, your only son
Fly home, I've been waiting to, the time has come
Fly home, it's just me and you
(Me and you) your only son

Fly home, I've been waiting to
(I've been waiting to) time has come

Oh! - I'm coming home...

I'm coming home...

Coming home...

I'm coming home...

Coming home...

Coming home...

Coming home...


2. START TALKING LOVE

Just another broken heart
Any fool can see
Though we're living worlds apart
You're still next to me

I'm never gonna give you up
Never wanna make you cry
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna say goodbye

Just another lonely night
I'm missing you again
Nothing ever turns out right
So when's it gonna end

I'm never gonna give you up
Never wanna make you cry
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna say goodbye

When you start talkin' love
You know that I'd run through the night
To be with you
Talk about love
It's a walk from the dark to the light
To be with you
Start talking love
Talk about love

You left me with a broken heart
Any fool can see
Now we're ling worlds apart
Guess it was meant to be

I'm never gonna give you up
Never wanna make you cry
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna say goodbye

When you start talkin' love
You know that I'd run through the night
To be with you
Talk about love
It's a walk from the dark to the light
To be with you
Start talking love
Talk about love


3. ROCKING 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


4. 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!


5. 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...


6. DRUM SOLO

(Instrumental)


7. 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

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

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


8. THE LAST DANCE

The last dance might be your last chance
Over your shoulder you turn and you glance
They walk past still no one has asked
Feeling much older the evening has crashed

Don't surrender don't you cry
Another lonely night you've had enough
Another lonely night is one too much
Another lonely night might just give up

The last dance you hide your empty hands
No one comes near you
the noise of the band
You can't talk so you get up and walk
All that you've been through
it's not like you thought

Don't surrender don't you cry
Another lonely night you've had enough
Another lonely night is one too much
Another lonely night might just give up


9. ONE 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
