All Our Yesterdays

All Our Yesterdays (Deep Blue Sea) Welcome to the great escape No one’s gonna stop this big break There’s a raging battle Every single night Someone’s give me half a chance we gonna set this place alight So long to my sad old days Don’t look back to those old ways There’s a storm inside…

Black Diamond

(Grange/Wheatley) Look down those streets, at the black dirty stone A hard place to live, but still they called it home Look at all the faces, hard like wind and rain That blows around the dirty streets and blows around again And at the end of a dirty working day – you pick up your…

Then U Smile

You were bored and alone So you picked up the phone To see if you could hurt me some more If you were a knife – You’d take my life And leave me lying dying on the floor   But words are your tool – So vicious and cruel You wound when you open your mouth Your…

Soho By Night

The Rose of Piccadilly shoots wide of the mark Past working girls in Shepherd’s Market to the bushes in Hyde Park Where crafty Cockney bouncers bristle as they leer At lippy legless tourists drunk on empty heads and beer Old Compton Cavaliers cruise in and out of parking meters With a “come-on” to Spanish waiters…

The Thrill Of It All

The little girl doesn’t know If she’s alive anymore No sense of fun – nowhere to run   Once there was a time Happiness was no crime Now she’s in a cage – No passion or rage   As the light starts to fall   She’s walking on the edge Of everything unsaid It hurts…

Birth of the Blues Pt 2

I’m lying alive in the dead of the night Listening to sirens with blue flashing lights Bullets bark – another hit and run Always someone at the wrong end of a gun   Nothing I can do, I’m watching the birth of the blues   City’s alive but for someone it’s just stopped Out there…

Wounded

Darkness screams in the grave of dreams where you’re standing still Lost and alone in your own home as the walls close in Deep in the dark you can’t see the bars or who you are The sin gets under your skin – the scratch becomes the scar   Open your heart let in a…

Don’t Say I Didn’t Warn You

Don’t Say That I Didn’t Warn You   You can’t be free if you make a slave of me Count the ways to wear the chains Shackles bind In hearts and minds Beneath your skin a scar remains   You are what you say And what you do in your day These are our definitions…

Falling

I’m not the one you needed I’m just the one you used The one who gave you everything just to keep your little self amused Yeah, I see you falling Crawling on your knees Yeah, i hear you calling Crying out to me You’re not the one I believed in. You’re just the one who…

The Well

I see greed and ambition scratch crooked fingers to the sky Watch priests and politicians bow their heads and cry I see lawyers and thieves sing the same old lies All around the world, I can’t believe my eyes God’s gone out of business, I’ve thrown away my cross I can’t tell the difference between…

Twist

When you look into my eyes it’s like superman’s disguise Plain for all to see there’s no mystery When I try to hide my pain it’s like screaming out your name The cut in my pride is a wound open wide I’m not fooling you I’m not fooling me And life twists the knife Life twists…

No Pasarán

When the sons of Wat Tyler meet With the rhythm of a rock steady beat Then we move our feet Down to Cable Street There’s a neighbourhood bully banging on the door Selling me a ticket for a third world war Everyone’s invited – like it or not Everything you need costs everything you’ve got…

Nothing Like Love

Love is a leap, love is a lunge. Love is deep love is a plunge. Love is sweet love is sour. Love is the root love is the flower Love is the start love is the end. Love is a stranger love is a friend Love is a weak love is strong Love is forever…

Strange Ways

What happened here? In this place of peace what happened here to make music cease what happened when the music stopped, ah, the bodies dropped We watch in horror as people cried We watch in horror as music died Blood on the dance floor, death in the streets, in a city of dreams And I…

Rest In Peace

She picks herself up, Piece by Piece Sometimes she wonders, if the noise will ever cease Seems like so long, without any respite Every single day, dark as the night Head in hands she falls to her knees, asks for release What’s it gonna take to make you rest in peace Head in hands she…
