  Awaken

  (Video Design: http://dansadaba.com)

  We’re consumed by the TV we don’t see that it blinds us

  There’s more to life

  We’re holding onto religion it’s the thing that divides us

  We’ll see the light

  We still think that our leaders are the ones with the power

  But that ain’t right

  Every second that we’re born here we’ve got so much potential

  But all we do is fight

  When planets collide

  We’ll know the glory

  Black out the sun

  And spread light on the story

  We must awaken

  And face the truth

  Else we’ll be slaves

  To a king with a cloven hoof

  They say knowledge is power

  So they try to restrict us in what we read and write

  The unstoppable forces of love and fear

  Will decide our plight

  They’ve already been here and they left us the symbols

  That will reunite

  We can make it through darkness

  Break free from the shackles

  Don’t lose sight

  When planets collide…

  You’ve got to be the change you want

  When planets collide…

  バラが咲いた

  バラが咲いた　バラが咲いた

  真赤なバラが

  淋しかった　ぼくの庭に

  バラが咲いた

  たったひとつ　咲いたバラ

  小さなバラで

  淋しかった　ぼくの庭が

  明るくなった

  バラよ　バラよ　小さなバラ

  そのままで　そこに咲いてておくれ

  バラが咲いた　バラが咲いた

  真赤なバラで

  淋しかった　ぼくの庭が

  明るくなった

  バラが散った　バラが散った

  いつの間にか

  ぼくの庭は　前のように

  淋しくなった

  ぼくの庭の　バラは散って

  しまったけれど

  淋しかった　ぼくの心に

  バラが咲いた

  バラよ　バラよ　心のバラ

  いつまでも　ここで咲いてておくれ

  バラが咲いた　バラが咲いた

  ぼくの心に

  いつまでも　散らない

  真赤なバラが

  Crazy Horse

  Meet me by the riverside

  You know that’s where I’ll be

  I’ve been there since the dawn of time

  I am history

  I’ll be there till the sky turns dark and full of rain

  And come the morning light you’ll find me

  There again

  Meet me by the mountain path

  With flowers in your hair

  A fire, a fall, a photograph

  A simple thing to share

  I’ll be there till the moon has settled in the North

  We’ll leave this life behind and ride forth

  On a Crazy Horse

  Oh, I can’t see you

  Oh, but I need you

  Oh, I will bleed you

  Every single day for the rest of your life

  Oh, I will be you

  Oh, I will free you

  Oh, I’ll be near you

  Every time you wake

  And open your eyes

  Could you be the one

  To roll away the stone?

  It’s up to you now

  To make it on your own

  I’ll give the key

  I’ve shown you the way

  And I’ll pray for you

  Every goddamn day

  That Crazy Horse that leads to…

  Water

  Dead Man Walking

  There’s a dead man walkin’

  Walking on my bones

  There’s a lady talkin’

  Talkin’ like she knows

  When I get back home

  I’m gonna murder you

  When I get back home

  I’m gonna have words with you

  There’s a fire burnin’

  Burnin’ in my yard

  There’s a dog keeps barkin’

  Just like he’s on guard

  When I get back home

  I’m gonna grab my gun

  When I get back home

  Oh shit we’re gonna have some fun

  There’s a devil talkin’

  Talkin’ on my phone

  There’s a devil knockin’

  But dead man he ain’t home

  When I drink my drink

  I’m gonna drink to you

  When the gun goes in my mouth

  I’m gonna think of you

  Give Me the World

  How many times did I turn and walk away?

  There’s things I know and there’s things I cannot say

  How many times was it made quite clear to me?

  There’s things we want and there’s things we’ll never be

  I will be no soldier, to fight your many wars

  I cannot be the thinker, that comes up with the cause

  Although it is forbidden, I will not be told

  I know I need forgiving, but I just want you

  To give me the world

  How many times must you make the same mistake?

  A lesson learnt is a rule you cannot break

  How many times must you walk that road alone?

  With what’s ahead only things you should have known

  I will be no soldier…

  I dreamt I dwelt in marbled halls

  I dreamt I knocked down Jericho’s walls

  I was the Sword of Damocles

  I brought Nero to his knees

  I raised my hand I stopped the tide

  I’ve never been wrong and I’ve never lied

  If you think you’ve heard it all

  Please read the writing on the wall

  If you believe me

  You’re a fool

  I will be no soldier…

  It’s Over Now

  Oh my dear you're so predictable

  All dressed up no place to go

  This time, this time

  The evidence was circumstantial

  Still everything just turned out wrong

  Next time, you're gone

  You're so alone...

  All day long you walk around

  Past simple buildings that fall down

  They close your eyes you're underground

  And either way it's over now

  The lights like gold they shine for you

  In every scene you start as new

  How long, how long

  The days they come they turn to night

  A thousand voices burning bright

  How long, sad song

  You're so alone...

  Nagasaki

  Seems like I met you a hundred years before

  Waves were crashing on the shore

  The wind was in my sails

  The wind was in your hair

  I fixed my eyes upon you from afar

  Guided by positions of the stars

  The Earth was at my feet

  The world was at your door

  I could be anywhere you came from

  I could be anywhere you dream

  You’re the land that I’ve been craving

  And the oceans that I’ve seen

  You’re the sunlight in the heavens

  You’re the whisper in the breez
e

  You’re the moonlight on the water and you’re

  Everything that I need

  We’re worlds apart horizons closing in

  The creaking timbers tell me where I’ve been

  I’ll never kiss your lips

  I’ll never pay your fare

  I could be anywhere you came from...

  We’ll raise up the anchor

  And sail with the tide

  You could never leave this island

  And you’ll never be my bride

  Put distance in between us

  And mountains in our way

  Forget the times

  When in your arms I lay

  Will you miss me?

  When I’m gone

  Do you think I want to stay?

  Want to spend my life with you

  My prison’s my profession

  And you know this much is true

  We could spend a lifetime lying

  But what we just can’t hide

  I could never leave this island

  And I’ll never be your bride

  On Any Other Day

  Can I see you?

  On any other day

  When the blues has found its way

  And I can say what I’m trying to say

  I’ve tried talking but my tongue was tied

  I’ve tried loving but I’ve been denied

  So don’t tell me that

  My blood is running red

  I’m gonna keep going till I’m dead

  I’m doing things my own way

  Don’t name your price ‘cause I can’t pay

  Can I see you?

  Would that be okay?

  I’m sure we’ll make it anyway

  There’s a few things I should say

  Just on any other day

  I’ve tried talking…

  Remember the Order

  Remember the Order

  That’s what they told you

  That’s what I try to tell myself

  Every day

  There’s no understanding what you don’t want to know

  Time goes faster

  When you want to go slow

  Smoke another cigarette

  Before you start

  Light another drink, my friend

  If it makes you look smart

  Click it, and click it

  And click it some more

  Keep biting your nails until your fingers are sore

  There’s a needle in the haystack

  And a pig in the mud

  You just don’t get it

  And they’re getting you real good

  If you wanna go and do it

  Then go and get it done

  People are urging you to quit

  But you keep telling them that it’s fun

  There’s no black and white

  When you’re in a grey cloud

  The people aren’t shouting

  But they come across loud

  Shoot You Down

  You’re out of luck

  You’re out of time

  You’re a bad actor

  Just fluffed her lines

  Isn’t it time, you left town?

  Sick of seeing your face around

  You’re a fool, you’re a clown

  I think this time, I’ll shoot you down

  Shoot you down

  Is this it?

  A goodbye kiss

  No chances taken

  I won’t miss

  Isn’t it time, you left town?...

  This is it

  No second chances

  Just how close babe, danger dances

  Isn’t it time, you left town?...

  Summertime

  You look as if to say

  Our worlds have come apart

  Our love was fine in the summertime

  But winter days are dark

  All those dreams you hold so dear

  Will be tasted, wasted and forgotten next year

  All those dreams that mean so much

  Will be spoken, broken, no longer a crutch

  The morning sun shines softly now

  On who we really are

  The moon is blue and out of tune

  But closer than the stars

  All those dreams…

  Can we find out what it really means?

  Can we dance like puppets when we have no strings?

  Of all the things that have ever been mine

  I’d have you in the summertime

  Waves crash in where have they been?

  I cannot see dry land

  One day you say we’ll melt away

  Like pebbles turned to sand

  All those dreams…

  Can we find out…

  Until Tomorrow

  You’ve got more courage

  Than you have pride

  You’ve got an awful lot to say

  For someone who’s died

  Don’t want to talk about it

  Don’t want to say another word

  Let’s wait

  Until tomorrow

  You’ve got this thing you do with your eyes

  It makes me wonder if you’re still alive inside

  So we go back

  And talk about it

  But you just want it all to end

  So let’s wait

  Until tomorrow

  What will it take to make you change your mind?

  You’re a strong believer bathed in light

  Let’s wait

  Until tomorrow

  Sad Song

  You close your eyes, my love

  Tomorrow comes

  The world is made of stone

  Tomorrow goes

  With no sense of rush

  All will pass

  The world is made for us

  We won’t last

  Only one of us can win this war

  Only one of us has died before

  Send the message tell them what you’ve seen

  Sacrifice my life to set you free

  No place to be alone

  The story’s woven

  Though the ending’s known

  The words were stolen

  Only one of us can win this war…

  So you thought this was a sad song

  Maybe it’s a message to you

  So you think you got a hard life, baby

  But you know it’s all right

  To walk out when the sun is shining

  To have love take you by your hand

  To see an old man smiling

  He knows that it’s all right

  Step Back

  I’ve been here before

  I know where I stand

  I knock on your door

  And take hold of my hand

  We go up the stairs

  And into your room

  We lay on the bed

  And finished too soon

  Step back, you’re getting too close to me

  Kick back, this ain’t nothing like it used to be

  The smell of your hair

  The touch of your fingers

  The moments to come

  The promise it lingers

  The shape of your mouth

  The warmth of your eyes

  The blush of your skin

  The feel of your thighs

  Step back…

  The Soul

  We paint the cracks and hope it covers

  What only we must know

  For we were then still not yet lovers

  When the rain had turned to snow

  And far away a lady sings but only I can hear her crying

  And in this room a tired man has given up from all the trying

  Forget what we’re told

  Leave it all to the Soul

  We meet again in brighter weather

  No longer both alone

  For we were once again together

  But far away from home

  And ne
xt to me a lady cries but only I can see her smiling

  And in this room the story ends

  Where you and I are lying

  Forget what we’re told…

  Did you ever go and love someone

  To see it fall apart

  You can spend a lifetime running

  But you’ll always miss the start

  There ain’t no way of knowing

  What the past will bring

  We’ll carry it together

  And share the weight that lies within

  Forget what we’re told…

  This is England

  An island, a nation

  A family, a race

  A shop, a robber

  A car, a chase

  A queen, a country

  A coin, a face

  A bag, a needle

  A junkie, a place

  This is England

  A city, a capital

  A dog, a bone

  A castle, a flat

  A street, a home,

  A lottery, a ticket

  A quiz show, a phone

  A smile, a tear

  A thought, a soul

  This is England

  Who Can Say?

  This may be something

  We’ve never had

  Either way

  It won’t be so bad

  We’ll take it slowly

  Day by day

  We could be famous

  Who can say?

  We were young but we could never be the same

  I’ve never met you

  But you know me
