Nagasaki Rock 'n' Roll
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
