Presence Of Love
(MacDonald / Peters)
The first heaven is silver
And you are silver you shine white light
The second heaven`s sacred
And you are sacred of pure soul
The third heaven is pearl
And your name is forever written
Ooh don`t walk away
No don`t walk away
I`m walking in the prescence
Of love
I`m walking in the seventh
Heaven
I`m alive with the agony the ecstasy
Strive for the pleasure
And the pain
I`m walking in the prescence
Of love
The fourth heaven is white gold
And you cry white golden tears
The fifth heaven is holy
You are the angel of sweet mercy
The sixth heaven is of ruby
Of the wind and of the earth
Ooh don`t walk away
No don`t walk away
I`m walking in the prescence
Of love
I`m walking in the seventh
Heaven
I`m alive with the agony the ecstasy
Strive for the pleasure
And the pain
I`m walking in the prescence
Of love
I don`t wanna die
In a hell on earth
In the valley below
In the pain and the hurt
In the sea of danger
Drowning me
There`s a ray of hope
And I`m walking in the prescence
Of love
I`m walking in the seventh
Heaven
I`m alive with the agony the ecstasy
Strive for the pleasure
And the pain
I`m walking in the prescence
Of love
I`m walking in the prescence
Of love
I`m walking in the seventh
Heaven
I`m walking in the prescence
Of love
I`m coming into heaven
Of love
I`m walking in the prescence
Of love
I`m walking into heaven
On earth
I`m walking in the prescence
Of love
I`m walking into heaven
On earth
I`m walking in the prescence
Of love

Pastures Of Plenty
(The Alarm)
It`s a mighty hard road that my
Poor hands have hold
So I travel along on this hard busted road
Out of your duskbowls and this` where we roam
Your deserts was hard and your
Mountains was cold
The edge of your city
You`ll see us and then
We come with the dust and we
Blow with it away
Green pastures of plenty
From dry desert ground
From the grand canyon down were the
Waters run down
Every state in the union a small glimpse has been
We`ll work in this spot and we`ll
Talk `till we went
It`s always we rumble
And river run down
Along your green valley
I`ll work `till I die
My lands I`ll defend with my
Love heated bee
For my pastures of plenty
Will always be free
Green pastures of plenty
From dry desert ground
From the grand canyon down were the
Waters run down
Every state in the union a small glimpse has been
We`ll work in this spot and we`ll
Talk `till we went
It`s a mighty hard road that my
Poor hands have hold
Up For Murder

God Save Somebody
(Sharp / Twist)
People are saying money`s falling off the trees
And I don`t see nobody here with a piece
Nobody got it
Everybody want it
Even people out there beggin` on the streets
From
Red square
Down to the sea
Step down off the sidewalk
And you might see
Something going on make a poor heart bleed
Sounds like new age world stampede
God save somebody
God save somebody
All trough the land
Everybody lend a hand
God save
Somebody
Broke walls
People digging through
Skidding on the tarmac
And tripping on the wiew
Halfway useful
Wholeway hopeful
Soaking their hearts in a vision of food
Welcome west to the world excess
Bet you halway through some`ll settles for less
With a big break sleeping rough at night
On a
Stone floor like freezed ice
God save somebody
God save somebody
Walk trough the land
Everybody lend a hand
God save
Somebody
Well the whole place looks like a war`s goin` on
Flash floods and fire bombs
And a whole bunch of folks who say
It ain`t so
But they`re from a place that
Nobody knows
Shell shock
Big decay
No policies made that`s
Gonna take that away
Bells ringin` out right now for the day
They`re even tryin` to tear down
God`s highway
God save somebody

Walk trough the land

Rockin` In The Free World
(N. Young)
There`s colours on the street
Red white and blue
People shuffling their feet
People sleeping in their shoes
There`s a warning sign on the road ahead
There`s a lot of people saying they`d be better off dead
Don`t geel like Satan
But I am to them
So I try to forget it any way I can
Keep on rockin` in the free world
Keep on rockin` in the free world
Keep on rockin` in the free world
Keep on rockin` in the free world
There`s a woman of the night
Got a baby in her hand
Near an old street light
Down by a garbage can
Now she puts the kid away and she`s gone to get a hit
She hates her life and what she`s done to it
There`s one more kid who`ll never got to school
Never get to fall in love
Never get to be cool

I`ve got roads to drive
Keep on rockin` in the free world
Keep on rockin` in the free world
Keep on rockin` in the free world
Keep on rockin` in the free world

Save Your Crying
(Sharp / Twist)
You say that there`s no place to run to
Is that any kind of place for you to hide
You say no one is tellin` you the truth
Anymore
But for God`s sakes
Who`s tellin` lies
Now you might need something to believe in
That`ll help you
To see what is right
So save it
`Till later
And later
And later
Again
Save all your crying `till later
Take a hard
Hard
Look around
Save all your crying `till later
You know it won`t
Fall down
And if today
Feels like
It should never be
And you can`t
Get your words out right
And the pressure is down like a
Guillotine
To cut off every road from the light
Now you might need something to believe in
That`ll help you
To see what is right
So save it
`Till later
And later
And later
Again
Save all your crying `till later
Take a hard
Hard
Look around
Save all your crying `till later
Because it won`t
Fall down
Nothing that I ever do
Seems to please you honey
You always seem the new from that I`d got
But I`m gonna love you so save it
`Till later
And later
Again
Save all your crying `till later
Take a hard
Hard
Look around
Save all your crying `till later
Because it won`t
Fall down
You know it won`t
Fall down
`Cause it won`t
Fall down
Wonderful World
(Sharp / Twist)
Guys wearing gas masks are levelling them guns
At school children singing whilst studying sums
It`s a clear sign of violence
And it`s laced with heavy support
This whole situation`s been
Dragged through the dirt
By gargoyles and monstres and
Man eating birds
Who act like the jury
But you never see them stand up in court
Well it`s savage and ugly
The riots unfurl
But these are the ways of this wonderful world
These are the ways
Of this wonderful world
Now back at the banquet the madam meets her fate
Whilst almost a mile
From a country estate
The helpless
And homeless
Are dancing their ring in the rain
Whilst hunted by pressure
From an old man abroad
Fifty five of them ministers are trying to reach accord
On some ill judged remark concerning Madam Baby Lorraine
Well it`s savage and ugly
The riots unfurl
But these are the ways of this wonderful world
These are the ways
Of this wonderful world
Consignments of bibles and
Passenger planes
Japanese funerals and
Gambling games
Backers and bidders are
Dealing in textile and lace
They order reviews
That will salvage the state
Can`t seem to put off
And cast off their capes
While the latest concers
Are reports of a slackening pace
Well it`s savage and ugly
The riots unfurl
But these are the ways of this wonderful world
These are the ways
Of this wonderful world
Of this wonderful world

Dawn Chorus
(MacDonald / Peters)
I`m a lonely man
Walking lonely streets
I`m soaked to the skin
For the pain of my unease
From such a strange existence
All out
The tension in the world
Keeps me from sleep
I`m hungry and cold
There`s a weight hanging over my shoulders
A rain black cloud of damp
Now now
Have I`ve got enough love
Have I`ve got enough hope
Enough strenght to face the world each day
I know there`s an answer
Somewhere in this time
I see her
Each time
I look in your eyes
I`m walking in a wild place
I am banging on the gates
On the other side of the tracks babe
Hoping that someone`s gonna hear me pray
Oh there`s a dawn chorus breaking out
All over the town
Well you say you want me
Well I say I want you
Well you say you love me
When I`m stripped and forced to stand up naked
And well I still love you
The goal I was
Don`t exist without fire
And you fight the thoughts
That realise all of my dreams
These are a grown man`s tears
Hooo now
I lost all faith
I lost all hope
I started drinking
Life became a joke
Something to keep me going
I didn`t know what it was
But I saw it each time
I looked in your eyes
I`m walking in a wild place
I am banging on the gates
On the other side of the tracks babe
Hoping that someone`s
Gonna hear me pray
Oh there`s a dawn chorus breaking out
All over the town
Oh my God why
Do I feel a doubt
You give me something
I can`t live without
Yeah from somewhere
Comes an emptyness
A feeling
That I
Can`t supress
Is this the
Start of the beginning
On the point of
No return
Ooh now now no no now
Ooh hoo
Is is actually
When I look in your eyes
I`m walking in a wild place
I am banging on the gates
On the other side of the tracks babe
Well all my doubts you now wait
Await
Await
Await
I`m walking in a wild place
I am banging on the gates
On the other side of the tracks babe
Hoping that someone
Answered my prayers
Oh there`s a dawn chorus breaking out
All over the town
Don`t you just say
What`s on my mind
Deeside
(MacDonald / Peters)
Hey now now
Oh now now
Blind gates clang in a steelmill town
A man breakes down to that unemployment sound
He takes a last walk
Down that old coast road
In a blind death rows
Of all that he knows
The sign of those men
Walking through the gates
Was like a lame pit pony
At the end of it`s days
Fire fire fire
Whoo
Hey
In a deeside town
Eight thousand went down
In a February day
In a driving rain
No winners
Just looser
And cuts and bruises
As the picket line fell
To end of street line
There`s still one question after all this time
Is a walking man born
To live and then die
Fire fire fire
To bulid the ships
To set the sails
To cross
The sea of fools
To be dealt the cards
To play our hand to win
Or else to loose
In this cruel old world
That kicks a man when he`s down
Down to the ground
Hey now
Oh now now
A lady luck smiles on a few in this world
A hope and a pray
As she smiles on you
I ain`t gonna preach
No I ain`t gonna teach
I`m just gonna say about the things that I need
A little bit of love
A little bit of hope
A little bit of strenght
Some fuel for the fire
Fire fire fire
To bulid the ships
To set the sails
To cross
The sea of fools
To be dealt the cards
To play our hand to win
Or else to loose
In this cruel old world
That kicks a man when he`s down
Down to the ground
Down
Ooh a little bit of love
A little bit of hope
A little bit of strenght
Some fuel for the fire
Fire fire fire
To bulid the ships
To set the sails
To cross
The sea of fools
To be dealt the cards
To play our hand to win
Or else to loose
In this cruel old world
That kicks a man when he`s down
And all around the world
The lights are going down
Father To Son
(MacDonald / Peters)
One two three four
Whoo hoo

There`s a job to be done
Stop fighting the sytem
`Cause the system won`t break
Get your hair cut boy
And learn from my mistakes
Now I said to my father
Fathre give me a break
There`s a million more chances
That I`m gonna take

By the dreams of my mind
How many years

Today

Tomorrow

Something somewhere ooh
Give me a future now
I need it so badly now
Ooh whoo whoo
For tomorrow

Spirit Of `76
(MacDonald / Peters)
Well I find myself in reverie
`Bout what we might have had
And what might have been
We had something going once
That was such a long long time ago
It was way back in`76
A friendship formed of pure innocence
We first met in Mathew Street
Where we heard something that would set us free
A sign stands over a door it says
Four lads that shook the world
In the depths of those heady nights
We would dream
Of those bright lights
Oh my friend
Oh my friend
Oh my friend
And my friend John he went away
He made some mistakes
Spent time in Walton Jail
And now when I see him
We still talk
But there`s no light shining in his eyes
And Susie she was seventeen
And more beauty in this world
I swear you`ll never see
I was gonna be king
And she was gonna be queen
But now all she does is
Hide behind the tears
If there was more sense in this world
And work wasn`t so hard to find
You would not be going your way
I would not be going mine
Oh my friend
Oh my friend
Oh my friend
Somewhere tonight out on the streets
Somewhere beneath this city`s heat
In the eyes of strangers
Who pass me by
Well life is cruel
And so unkind
Oh ho
The spirit of `76
And Pete has seen his dreams come true
But that don`t make him no hero
He`s just one of the lucky few
If a man can`t change the world these days
I still believe a man can change his own
Destiny
But the price is high that has got to be paid
For everyone who survives there are many who fall
I`ve seen my friends caught out in the
Crossfire
All their dreams and hopes smashed on the
Funeral pyre
I will never give in
Until the day I die
Get myself some independence
Carve out a future with my two bare hands
Oh my friend
Oh my friend
Oh my friend
Somewhere tonight out on the streets
Somewhere beneath this city`s heat
In the eyes of strangers
Who pass me by
Well life is cruel
And so unkind
Oh ho
The spirit of `76
Mersey lights
Shine in the distance
Same as they did for us then
Mersey lights shine
Bright in the distance
Where are you know my friend
You see
Some nights when I can`t sleep
I still think of you
And all the promises
All the dreams we shared
I know
Those lights still call to you
I can hear them now
I can hear them now
Oooh still shining for you
I`m shocked
Lights are still shining
Somewhere tonight out on the streets
Somewhere beneath this city`s heat
In the eyes of strangers
Who pass me by
Life is cruel
And so unkind
Oh ho
Where`s it gone
The spirit of `76
Strength
(The Alarm)
Give me love
Give me hope
Give me strenght
Give me someone to live for
Who will light the fire
I need to survive
Who will be the life blood
Coursing through my veins
Like a river flowing
That will never change
I need someone
I can
Depend on
Ooh whoo ooh whooo
`Cause I`m a man of emotions
Who can`t hide the tears
I`m a man of feeling
Who can`t hide the pain
I walk the outskirts of town
Where no one knows my name
I`m at the point of my life
Where I need
Affection
Ooh whoo ooh whooo
Oh won`t you
Give me love
Give me hope
Give me strenght
Give me someone to live for
Give me love
Give me hope
Give me strenght
Give me someone to live for
I need it now
I need it now
Someone write me a letter
I need to know that I`m still alive
Someone give me a telephone call
I need to hear a human sound
Someone open up a door
And let me out of this place
I`ve been caged up for oh so long
I don`t know if I`m living
Or dying
Ooh whoo ooh whooo
Someone better
Give me love
Give me hope
Give me strenght
Give me someone to live for
Give me love
Give me hope
Give me strenght
Give me someone to live for
I walk alone
Across the outskirts of town
I can`t control
What I`m going through now
Will you light the fire
That I need to survive
Will you be the life blood
Coursing through my veins
Will you open up the door
And let me out of this place
I`ve been caged up for oh so long
I don`t know if I`m living
Or dying
Ooh whoo ooh whooo
Oh won`t you
Give me love
Give me hope
Give me strenght
Give me someone to live for
Give me love
Give me hope
Give me strenght
Give me someone
Someone to live for
I need it now
