No Sound Without Silence

[Verse 1]

Who would have thought that i'd be here by myself

Who would have thought that you'd be bad for my health

Now I know, now I know I'm just a man on a wire, oh

Who would have thought about the cause and effect

Yesterday's love is now tomorrow's regret

Now I know, now I know I'm just a man on a wire, oh

[Pre-Chorus]

No I can't look down, I'm trying to fight the feeling

I will fall to the ground, If I ever see you

Cause I

[Chorus]

I feel like I'm walking a tightrope

And my heart is in my throat

I'm counting on high hopes

To get me over you

And I've got my eyes closed

As long as the wind blows

I'm counting on high hopes

To get me over you, you

Cause I'm a man on a wire, on a wire

I'm a man on a wire, on a wire

[Verse 2]

Who would have thought I'd see you with someone else

Who would have thought that I'd be in such a mess

Now you know, now you know I'm just a man on a wire, oh

[Pre-Chorus]

When I walk that line, I try to keep my senses

Make it to the other side, I know the consequences

And I

[Chorus]

Feel like I'm walking a tightrope

And my heart is in my throat

I'm counting on high hopes

To get me over you

And I've got my eyes closed

As long as the wind blows

I'm counting on high hopes

To get me over you, you

Cause I'm a man on a wire, on a wire

I'm a man on a wire, on a wire

[Bridge]

The higher it gets, the more I miss the ground

No safety net, so now you're not around

I have to keep walking to keep me from falling down

[Chorus]

Feels like I'm walkin' on a tightrope

My heart is in my throat

I'm counting on high hopes to get me over you

And I've got my eyes closed

As long as the wind blows

I'm counting on high hopes to get me over you, you

Cause I'm a man on a wire, on a wire

I'm a man on a wire, on a wire

Cause I'm a man on a wire, on a wire

I'm a man on a wire, on a wire, yeah

[Verse 1]

I cross my heart and I hope to die

May God strike me down if I tell you lies

I'll stay here forever looking in your eyes

24/7 baby, 365

I'll take your hand and I'll hold real tight

I'll tell you "Life's just a blink, so don't think twice"

Let's catch the moment, in a flash of light

24/7 baby, 365

[Pre-Chorus]

If we're gonna feel alive, let's feel it now

[Chorus]

We could all be blown to pieces

Because time's a ticking bomb

We could all be dead tomorrow

But our love will carry on

Cause when you know your days are numbered

And you're looking in my eyes

It's not the end, cause the energy never dies

Oh, oh oh, oh, oh

[Verse 2]

I fell for you and I never got up

I stay here forever till I turn to dust

Just take every minute, make it last for life

24/7 baby, 365 5 5

[Chorus]

We could all be blown to pieces

Because time's a ticking bomb

We could all be dead tomorrow

But our love will carry on

Cause when you know your days are numbered

And you're looking in my eyes

It's not the end, cause the energy never dies

Oh, oh oh, oh, oh

'Cause the energy never dies

Oh, oh oh, oh, oh

'Cause the energy never dies

Oh, oh oh, oh, oh

[Bridge]

There's no where, there's no when

There's no start, there's no end

Cause this love, it transcends

I found you before and I'll find you again

There's no way, there's no when

There's no start, there's no end

[Pre-Chorus]

If we're gonna feel alive, let's feel it now

[Chorus]

We could all be blown to pieces

Because time's a ticking bomb

We could all be dead tomorrow

But our love will carry on

Cause when you know your days are numbered

And you're looking in my eyes

It's not the end, cause the energy never dies

Ooh, ooh ooh, ooh, ooh

'Cause the energy never dies

Oh, oh oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh oh, oh, oh

[Outro]

I'll take your hand and I'll hold real tight

I'll tell you "life's just a blink, so don't think twice"

[Verse 1]

I know you're missing home

It’s been so long since you've been

And that life you had in Dublin

Now ain't nothin' but a dream

To be right there in that moment

You'd give anything to be

It's alright 'cause tonight

We're gonna paint the town green

Your friends are on the phone now

It's so close to Paddy's Day

And it kills you not to be there

But life got in the way

If I have to break the bank

Spend every penny on your dreams

It's alright 'cause tonight

We're gonna paint the town green

[Chorus]

Just like home

Let's color the streets like our own

Let's make this place feel like our home

If it's just you and me

It's alright 'cause tonight

We're gonna paint the town green (The town green)

[Verse 2]

And we'll travel on the subway

Like it was the Luas line

Chase the Hudson to the Liffey

Where we kissed for the first time

Turn the city into Dublin

Yeah, wherever we may be

It's alright 'cause tonight

We're gonna paint the town green

[Chorus]

Just like home

Let's color the streets like our own

Let's make this place feel like our home

If it's just you and me

It's alright 'cause tonight

We're gonna paint the town green (The town green)

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]

Just like home

Let's color the streets like our own

Let's make this place feel like our home

If it's just you and me

It's alright 'cause tonight

We're gonna paint the town green (The town green)

[Outro]

(Hey, hoo) Yeah, paint the town green

Hey, hoo

(Hey, hoo) Paint the town green

Hey, hoo

Hey, hoo

Hey, hoo

Hey, hoo

Hey, hoo

[Verse 1]

Would Dylan be just a poet?

Would Bono ever know it without those songs?

Would Marley be just a stoner?

Johnny Cash just be a loner without those songs?

Would Buddy Holly have disappeared?

Or would Lennon still be here without those songs?

[Chorus]

What happened in their lives?

What happened in their hearts?

To make them want to write the words

Gonna tear this world apart

The beauty of their lives

Is when they're dead and gone

The world still sings along

When anything went right

When anything went wrong

They put it in a song

[Verse 2]

Would Elvis be just a look

Or The Rolling Stones be stuck without those songs?

Would Sinatra be just a gangster

Or would Jackson be just a dancer without those songs?

Would Madonna be just a face?

Or Nirvana be just a place without those songs?

[Chorus]

What happened in their lives?

What happened in their hearts?

To make them want to write the words

Gonna tear this world apart

The beauty of their lives

Is when they're dead and gone

The world still sings along

When anything went right

When anything went wrong

They put it in a song

He… Read More We're late to bed

We're early to rise

Wipe the sleep from our eyes

We head to work

We catch a lift

We have a smoke

And we start this shift

We open up, we start to wake

Maybe it's gonna be our day

And suddenly we start to smile

The sun is out for a while

And you may see this place and find no worth

But it's a little piece of heaven here on Earth

Yeah we always have a good time

Whether it's hail rain or in sunshine

Yeah we're all living the good life

Whether it's hail rain or in sunshine

We reach the top

We took the fall

But we laughed through it all

Cause dreaming of them better days

It's always been a way and

You may see my friends and find no worth

But no I'll never go and change them for the world

Yeah we always have a good time

Whether it's hail rain or in sunshine

We always have a good time

Whether it's hail rain or in sunshine

Yeah we're all living the good life

Whether it's hail rain or in sunshine
