Calling to You

Beyond the river - over the sea
Somewhere’s last last farewell that ever will be
It’s calling to you, calling to you, calling to you
It’s calling to you, calling to you, calling to you

Out in the blue now, just waiting to be
A little breath of selflessness, adrift in all the greed
It’s calling to you, calling to you, calling to you
It’s calling to you, calling to you, calling to you

Look for the match - cover Adam and Eve
All the world when new was fire - it still was the scene
It’s calling to you, calling to you, calling to you
It’s calling to you, calling to you, calling to you

So you’re gonna - it’s for your honour - it’s gonna be done

Where you gonna go? When you gonna stop?
Who stole the keys to the gates of the castle of love?
It’s calling to you, calling to you, calling to you
It’s calling to you, calling to you, calling to you

Who you gonna call? What you gonna say?
Standin’ in the shadows as the world’s just fadin’ away
It’s calling to you, calling to you, calling to you
It’s calling to you, calling to you, calling to you

Who you gonna call? When you gonna stop?
Who stole the keys to the gates of the castle of love?
It’s calling to you, calling to you, calling to you
It’s calling to you, calling to you, calling to you

Who you gonna call? what you gonna say?
Standin’ in the shadows as the world’s just fadin’ away
Just fadin’ away, just fadin’ away –

Down to the Sea

Carry me down to the sea
Carry me down where they’re waiting for me
That’s where I want to be - that’s where it all comes around
Watching the ships pass by me
Friendships and small ships and hardships and dreams
That’s where I want to be - here where it all comes around
Oh, my head is in the sand
All my life passin’ by

All of my days I have seen
All of the tears and the laughter and dreams
Movin’ before me - waves and the ocean and sea
Life is a big tambourine
The more that you shake it the better it seems
This is my wisdom - these are just words from the sea
Oh my head is in the sand
All my days passin’ by

When I get older - settling down
Would you come down to the sea

Carry me down to the sea again
Carry me down to the sea again –

Carry me down to the sea again, ah-ha, ah-ho
Carry me down to the sea again
Carry me down, carry me down,
Carry me down to the sea again
Carry me down, carry me down,
Carry me down to the sea, ah-ha, ah-ha
Won’t you please, carry me down
Please, carry me down
Come on come on come on come on come on
Down down down to the sea, again, yes

Come Into My Life

Hopes drift in higher places - it’s easier above the gloom
Among the hollow faces, I know you’re there - it must be soon
And I must straighten up - review my disposition
Pour the hope back in my eyes I thought I’d lost so long ago

Come into my life - here where nothing matters
Come into my life and roll away the gloom
Come into my life - here where nothing matters
Come into my life and roll away the gloom

Always a love and beauty - a lover’s sighs content too soon
Somewhere behind her heartbeat a breath of kindness hints of gloom
So I must straighten up - review my disposition
Pour the hope back in my eyes I thought I’d lost so long ago

Come into my life [repeated]

Oh when you get there - you know I wanna be there
When you get there - well, you know I wanna be there
I wanna be there - I wanna be there

Come into my life [repeated]

Hopes drift in higher places - it’s easier above the ground you know
Hopes are drifting - hearts been lifting
Somebody somewhere no, done you wrong - I don’t know
Come on, come on, come on, baby
Come on, come on, come on, baby

I Believe

Tears, tears at the water’s edge
Hey little sister, there is laughter instead
Tears for the teacher, from the eyes, from the soul
This restless spirit takes a long way back home
Like the wind, you are free
Just a whisper - I hear you, so talk to me

Oh, I believe, eye to eye
Say brother, sister, see your brother’s in the sky
Neighbour, neighbour, don’t be so cold
It’s only glory from the story I’m told

I believe, eye to eye
Say brother, sister, see your brother’s in the sky
Neighbour, neighbour, don’t be so cold
It’s so much glory from the story untold

Big fire, on top of the hill
A hopeless gesture, and last farewell
Tears from your mother, from the pits of her soul
Look at your father, see his blood run cold
Like the wind, you are free
Just a whisper - I hear you, so talk to me

I believe, eye to eye
Say brother, sister, see your brother’s in the sky
Neighbour, neighbour, don’t be so cold
With so much glory from the story untold

I believe, eye to eye
Say brother, sister, see your brother’s in the sky
Neighbour, neighbour, don’t be so cold
It’s so much glory from the story untold

29 Palms

A fool in love A crazy situation
Her velvet glove Knocks me down and down and down and down.
Her kiss of fire A loaded invitation
Inside her smile She takes me down and down and down and down.
Her moves look good A touch of desparation
From where I stood She turned my head around and round and round.
It comes kinda hard When I hear your voice on the radio
Taking me back down the road that leads back to you.
Oh-oh 29 Palms I feel the heat of your desert heart
Taking me back down the road that leads back to you.
Oh, I’m burning in love! A strange infatuation
Why cold cold touch, mmm What must I do, do, do, do
The heat and the dust Increase my desolation
In God we trust Always for you, and you, and you, and you.
It comes kinda hard When I hear your voice on the radio
Leading me back down the road that leads back to you.
Oh-oh-oh 29 Palms I feel the heat of your desert heart
Leading me back down the road that leads back to you.
Baby, now It comes kinda hard
When I hear your voice on the radio
Leading me back down the raod that leads back to you.
Oh, don’t ya hear me baby, now
29 Palms I feel the heat of your desert heart
Leading me back down the road that leads back to you you you,
Yeah-yeah-yeah I’m coming home, oh oh
Gonna get there, gonna get there, don’t ya know babe
It comes kinds hard I said when I hear your voice on the radio
Leading me back down the raod that leads back to ooh ooh ooh ooh 29 Palms

Memory Song (Hello Hello)

On my mind All my talk
From the lips of so many memories,
Sun, beaks the cool
Are you lost without a clue?
Stars still shine Winds will howl
All my friends (Oh, my friend) Sense you now
Now. Strange, so very strange
Ooh, yeah On my mind All my talk
From the lips of so many memories,
Sun, breaks the cool Are you lost without the clue?
Remain devided, we had our day
The help provided the sad display
Hello hello hello I saw you once before
In my dreams you’ve come to call
You are my friend, you are my friend
You touch my soul Ooh, ooh,
You touch my soul, oh-whoo Hello, hello, hello-oh
Ooh, hello, hello, hello-oh. Oh, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, Oh So strange,
So very strange, now-ah
Come on, come on, come on, come on …
Oh-ho-hoo Come on, ooh yeah
You are my friend, you are my friend, ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh

If I Were a Carpenter

If I were a carpenter, and you were a Lady
Would you marry me anyway?
Would you have my baby?
If a tinker were my trade, would you still find me
Carryin’ the pots I made, followin’ behind me?
Save my love through loneliness
Save my love through sorrow
I give you my only-ness
Give my your tomorrow
If I worked my hands at wood,
Oh would you still love me?
Answer me babe.
“Yes I would, I’d put you above me.”
If a miller were my trade, at a mill wheel grinding
Would you miss your colour-box, and your soft shoe shining
Save my love through loneliness
Save my love through sorrow
I give you my only-ness
Come give my your tomorrow
I give you my only-ness
Give my your tomorrow
If I were a carpenter, and you were a Lady
Would you marry me anyway?
Would you have my baby?
Would you marry me anyway?
Would you have my baby?
Would you marry me anyway? Marry me?
Would you have my baby? Ah-ah-ah.

Promised Land

Oh baby, can’t eat can’t sleep Can’t understand a love song
Drive me crazy ‘Cause my feet won’t quit as I go slidin’ in the sweet zone
Round round like you want me to do
Down down like you’re beggin’ me to
The floor’s small and the wall’s too steep
I can kiss your mouth when I go to sleep
Oh, baby, got those personal moves so deep inside my move groove
I go crazy, my head won’t quit as I crawl inside your love groove
Down down like you want me to do
Round round like you’re beggin’ me to
The floor’s small and it’s much too steep
I can kiss your mouth when I go to sleep
I feel alright, ‘Cause my little girl wants to dance all night
What can I do I know my little girl wants to dance with you
Oh darlin’, come on baby, come on mess with me
Oh, woman, I’ll make it up to you, if you just drive me wild, child
Down down like you want me to do
Round round like you’re daring me to
The floor’s small and the wall’s too steep
I can kiss your mouth when I go to sleep
I feel alright Because my little girl wants to dance all night
Oh what can I do I know my little girl, she wants to dance with you
I feel alright My little girl wants to dance all night
Oh what can I do, ooh ooh I know that girl, she wants to dance, dance, dance
Round round like you want me to do
Down down you’re beggin’ me to
The floor’s small and much too steep
I can kiss your mouth as I go to sleep
I feel alright ‘Cause my little girl she wants to dance all night
All of my life
You know my little girl she wants to dance, dance, dance
I feel alright Oh my little girl she wants to dance all night, now
Oh what can I do Oh, my little girl wants to d-a-nce
Come on dance with me baby, come on dance with me baby
Oh, well… ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh I gotta keep movin’, I gotta keep movin
Blues fallin’ down like hail…

The Greatest Gift

Everything I do, yes I do for my love
Every place I go, she is on my mind
I would give the world, my soul, to discover
Send me just a sign angel on my mind
And if I should dream, I could dream of no other
Out here in the deep, hear my body cryin’
Heaven knows the fire that I hide and recover
Glorify this fool, angel on my mind, on my mind
This is the greatest gift that I can bring to you, ay
I feel the world that moves inside
This is the moment I have dreamt of all my life
Reach out and touch, and you will find
Why am I crazy, who is foolin’ with the order
I am strong, I will not fade, I will survive
Look in my eyes, you’ll see my heart, I will recover
Send me just a sign, angel on my mind, on my mind
This is the greatest gift that I can bring to you, ay
I feel the world that moves inside
This is the moment, I have dreamt of all my life
Reach out and touch, oh, and you will find
This is the greatest gift, ooh
This is the greatest gift, oh Hey yeah, hey yeah Oh,

Reach out and touch, and you, you, you-ou-ou

Great Spirit

Great Spirit come, Great Spirit come
Who has chased away the moonbeams?
Who has pulled a blanket across the sky?
Who will sing in celebration
Throughout this land that’s bound to die?
Oh - that’s bound to die.
Great Spirit come, Great Spirit come
Who will put an end to all this sadness?
Who hears the Earth that cries beneath the burning rain?
All truth reduced to piles of greed and madness
The accident remains the same
Great Spirit come Oh - Always the same
Great Spirit come Mm, said it’s alright, seems okay
Robbery and evil and the stealing
From the body and the mind for the healing
Of the spirit and the pride and the will and the will of the land
Grace, courage, honesty and love
Grace, courage, honesty and love
There’s evil, there’s evil, there’s evil going on
Great Spirit come, Great Spirit come
I love my brother, I must share the seed
That falls through fortune at my feet
The Fate of Nations and of all their needs
Lies trapped inside these hearts of greed,
Ooh - oh, yeah, oh, oh, oh, oh
Great Spirit come, Great Spirit come
Great Spirit come, Great Spirit come
Come on, come on, come on
Great Spirit come, Great Spirit come
Ooh yeah. Ooh yeah,
Grace, courage, honesty and love
Grace, courage, honesty and love
Great Spirit come, Great Spirit come
Come on, come on, come on …
The will of the land
Great Spirit, Great Spirit come
The will of the land
Ooh, we’ll sing in celebration
Ooh, we’ll sing in celebration
Ooh, we’ll sing in celebration, celebration
Sing in celebration, now now now now Sing in celebration

Network News

Guns, death and noise
Sand, oil and blood
Frontiers drawn on paper
No consideration made for
The poor creature who is living
By the grace of God just giving
He’s live on network news
Live on network news

Flags, princes, kings
Patriotic tools
As freedom lies in twisted heaps
Whose final breath his soul to keep
Whose greatest foe, the endless sleep
Whose dying wish to reach next week
A bloody star on the network news
A bloody star on the network news

Tanks, boats and planes
Fire, pain and lies
Environmental terrorists
Tease propaganda’s paper fist
Whose trade is all the truth that fits
Who often lies but never sits
But on the fence it’s the network news
Yes, on the fence it’s network news

The lion and the serpent parade out in the sun
All order, flex and gesture
All hail - the techno infidel has come
With satellite bravado and infra-red texture

Beyond these days in time to come
Whose fate is it to measure
Upon these sands such damage done
To spoil God’s finest treasure

Beyond these days in time to come
Whose fate is it to measure
Upon these sands such damage done
To spoil God’s finest treasure

Guns, death and noise
Sand, oil and blood
Guns, death and noise
Sand, oil and blood
