| Rattle and hum Helter skelter When I get to the bottom I go back to the top of the slide Where I stop and I turn And I go for a ride Till I get to the bottom And I see you again Do you, don't you want me to love you? I'm coming down fast, but I'm miles above you Tell me, tell me, tell me, come on tell me the answer Well, you may be a lover, but you ain't no dancer. Helter skelter, helter skelter Helter skelter Van diemen's land Hold me now, hold me now Till this hour has gone around And I'm gone on the rising tide For to face Van Diemen's land It's a bitter pill I swallow here To be rent from one so dear We fought for justice and not for gain But the magistrate sent me away Now kings will rule and the poor will toil And tear their hands as they tear the soil But a day will come in the dawning age When an honest man sees an honest wage Hold me now, hold me now Till this hour has gone around And I'm gone on the rising tide For to face Van Diemen's land Still the gunman rules and widows pay A scarlet coat now a black beret They thought that blood and sacrifice Could out of death bring forth a life. Desire Lover I'm off the streets Gonna go where the bright lights and the big city meet With a red guitar, on fire Desire She's the candle burning in my room I'm like the needle needle and spoon Over the counter with a shotgun Pretty soon, everybody got one And the fever, when I'm beside her Desire, Desire (Burning, Burning) She's the dollars She's my protection She's the promise In the year of election Sister, I can't let you go I'm like a preacher Stealing hearts at a travelling show For love or money, money...? Desire... Hawkmoon 269 Like a desert needs rain Like a town needs a name I need your love Like a drifter needs a room Hawkmoon I need your love Like a rhythm unbroken Like drums in the night Like sweet soul music Like sunlight I need your love Like coming home And you don't know where you've been Like black coffee Like nicotine I need your love When the night has no end And the day yet to begin As the room spins around I need your love Like a Phoenix rising Needs a holy tree Like the sweet revenge Of a bitter enemy I need your love Like the heat needs the sun Like honey on her tongue Like the muzzle of a gun Like oxygen I need your love When the night has no end And the day yet to begin As the room spins around I need your love Like thunder needs rain Like the preacher needs pain Like tongues of flame Like a blindman's cane Like a needle in a vein Like someone to blame Like a thought unchained Like a runaway train I need your love Like a fighter's rage His dreams in a cage Like faith needs a doubt Like a freeway out I need your love Like powder needs a spark Like lies need the dark I need your love. All along the watchtower "There must be someway out of here," said the joker to the thief, "There's too much confusion, I can't get no relief. Businessmen they drink my wine, plowmen dig my earth, None of them along the line know what any of it is worth." "No reason to get excited," the thief, he kindly spoke, "There are many here among us who feel that life is but a joke. But you and I, we've been through that, and this is not our fate, So let us not talk falsely now, the hour is getting late." All along the watchtower, princes kept the view While all the women came and went, barefoot servants, too. Outside in the distance a wildcat did growl, Two riders where approaching, the wind began to howl. Freedom for my people I need some freedom Freedom for my people I want some freedom Freedom Freedom, freedom for my people I'd like some freedom I need some freedom for my people Freedom Freedom, freedom for my people. Silver and gold In the shit house, a shotgun Praying hands hold me down If only the hunter was hunted In this tin can town, No stars in the black night Looks like the sky fall down, No sun in the daylight Looks like it's chained to the ground. Broken back to the ceiling Broken nose to the floor I scream at the silence That crawls under the door (under the floor). The warden says, "The exit is sold," If you want a way out - Silver and Gold. Silver and Gold. There's a rope around my neck There's a trigger in your gun Jesus say something! I am someone! I seen the coming and the going The captains and the kings Their navy blue uniforms Them bright and shiny things Yes, captains and kings in the slave ships hold They came to collect Silver and Gold Silver and Gold The temperature is rising The fever white hot Mister I ain't got nothing But it's more that you've got. These chains no longer bind me Nor the shackles at my feet Outside are the prisoners Inside the free (set them free). A prize fighter in a corner is told Hit where it hurts - For Silver and Gold Silver and Gold. You can stop the world from turning around. You just gotta pay a penny in the pound. Yep. Silver and gold. This song was written in a hotel room in New York City. Right about the time a friend of ours, little Steven, Was pulling together a record of artists against Apartheid. It's a song written about a man, in a shanty town outside of Johannesburg. A man who's sick of looking down the barrel of White South Africa. A man at the point where he is ready to take up arms against his oppressor. A man who's lost faith in the peace makers of the West. While they argue and while they fail to support a man like Bishop Tutu. And his request for economic sanctions against South Africa. Am I bugging you? I don't mean to bug ya'. Okay Edge, play the blues. Angel of Harlem It was a cold and wet December day When we touched down at JFK Snow was melting on the ground On BLS I heard the sound (of an Angel) New York like a Christmas tree I said tonight this city belongs to me (Angel) Soul Love this love won't let me go So long... Angel of Harlem Birdland on 53 The street sounds like a symphony We got John Coltrane and a love supreme Miles and she has to be an Angel Lady Day got diamond eyes She sees the truth behind the lies (Angel) Soul Love this love won't let me go So long... Angel of Harlem Blue light on the avenue God knows they got to you An empty glass, the lady sings Eyes swollen like a bee sting Blinded you lost your way On the side streets and the alleyways Like a star exploding in the night Filling up the city with broad daylight An Angel in Devil's shoes Salvation in the blues You never looked like an Angel So long... Angel of Harlem Love rescue me Love rescue me Come forth and speak to me Raise me up and don't let me fall No man is my enemy My own hands imprison me Love rescue me Many strangers have I met On the road to my regret Many lost who seek to find themselves in me They ask me to reveal The very thoughts they would conceal Love rescue me And the sun in the sky makes a shadow of you and I Stretching out as the sun sinks in the sea I'm here without a name in the palace of my shame Love rescue me In the cold mirror of a glass I see my reflection pass I see the dark shades of what I used to be I see the purple of her eyes The scarlet of my lies Love rescue me And the sun in the sky makes a shadow of you and I Stretching out as the sun sinks in the sea I'm hanging by my thumbs I'm ready for whatever comes Love rescue me Yea though I walk through the valley of the shadow Yet I will fear no evil I have cursed thy rod and staff They no longer comfort me Love rescue me Sha la la sha la la Sha la la sha la la I've conquered my past The future is here at last I stand at the entrance To a new world I can see The ruins to the right of me Will soon have lost sight of me Love rescue me. When love comes to town I was a sailor, I was lost at sea I was under the waves before love rescued me I was a fighter, I could turn on a thread But I stand accused of the things I've said When love comes to town I want to jump that train When love comes to town I want to catch that flame Maybe I was wrong to ever let you down But I did what I did, before love came to town I used to make love under a red sunset I was making promises I was soon to forget She was pale as the lace of her wedding gown But I left her standing before love came to town I ran into a juke joint when I heard a guitar scream The notes where turning blue When I fell into a dream As the music played I saw my life turn around That was the day before love came to town When love comes to town I want to jump that train When love comes to town I want to catch that flame Maybe I was wrong to ever let you down But I did what I did, before love came to town When I woke up I was sleeping on the street I felt the world was dancing And I was dirt beneath their feet When I looked up I saw the devil looking down My Lord He played guitar the day love came to town I was there when they crucified my Lord I held the scabbard when the soldier drew his sword I threw the dice when they pierced his side But I've seen love conquer the great divide When love comes to town I want to jump that train When love comes to town I want to catch that flame Maybe I was wrong to ever let you down But I did what I did, before love came to town. Heartland See the sunrise over her skin Don't change it See the sunrise on her skin Dawn changes everything And the delta sun burns bright and violent Mississippi and the cotton wool heat Sixty-six the highway speaks Of deserts dry, of cool green valleys Gold and silver veins - shining cities In this heartland In this heartland In this heartland Heaven knows this is a heartland She feels like water in my hand Freeway like a river cuts through this land Into the side of love like a burning spear And the poison rain brings a flood of fear Through the ghostranch hills, Death Valley waters In the towers of steel belief goes on and on In this heartland In this heartland In this heartland Heaven knows this is a heartland. God Part II Don't believe the devil I don't believe his book But the truth is not the same without the lies he made up I don't believe in excess success is to give I don't believe in riches but you should see where I live I... I believe in love Don't believe in forced entry I don't believe in rape But every time she passes by wild thoughts escape I don't believe in deathrow, skidrow or the gangs Don't believe in the Uzi it just went off in my hand I... I believe in love Don't believe in cocaine I got a speedball in my hand I could cut and crack you open... did you hear what I said? Don't believe them when they tell me there ain't no cure The rich stay healthy the sick stay poor I... I believe in love I don't believe in Goldman his type like a curse Instant karma's gonna get him if I don't get him first I don't believe that Rock 'N Roll can really change the world As it spins in revolution spirals and turns I... I believe in love I don't believe in the 60's in the golden age of pop You glorify the past when the future dries up I heard a singer on the radio last night Says he's gonna kick the darkness till it bleeds daylight I... I believe in love I feel like I'm falling, like I'm spinning on a wheel It always stops beside a name a presence I can feel I... I believe in love. All I want is you You say you want a diamond on a ring of gold You say you want your story to remain untold All the promises we made from the Cradle to the grave When all I want is you You say you'll give me a highway with no one on it Treasure just to look upon it All the riches in the night You say you'll give me eyes on a moon of blindness A river in a time of dryness A harbour in the tempest All the promises we make From the cradle to the grave When all I want is you You say you want your love to work out right To last with me through the night You say you want a diamond on a ring of gold Your story to remain untold Your love not to grow cold All the promises we break from the Cradle to the grave When all I want is you All I want is you.
