A Sort of Homecoming Lyrics
[Verse 1]
And you know it's time to go
Through the sleet and driving snow
Across the fields of mourning
Lights in the distance
[Verse 2]
And you hunger for the time
Time to heal, desire time
And your earth moves beneath
Your own dream landscape
[Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh
On borderland we run
I'll be there
I'll be there
Tonight, a high road
A high road out from here
[Verse 3]
The city walls are all gone down
The dust, a smokescreen all around
See faces ploughed like fields that once
Gave no resistance
[Verse 4]
And we live by the side of the road
On the side of a hill as the valley explode
Dislocated, suffocated
The land grows weary of its own
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, some away, oh come away, oh come
Oh come away, say I
Oh come away, oh come away, oh come
Oh come away, say I
[Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh
On borderland we run
And still we run
We run and don't look back
I'll be there
I'll be there
Tonight
Tonight
[Bridge]
I'll be there tonight
I believe
I'll be there, so high
I'll be there tonight
Tonight
Oh come away and say, you say, oh come
Oh come away, oh, you say
[Verse 5]
The wind will crack in wintertime
This bomb-blast lightning waltz
No spoken words
Just a scream, yeah
[Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh
Tonight we'll build a bridge
Across the sea and land
See the sky, the burning rain
She will die and live again
Tonight
[Verse 6]
And your heart beats so slow
Through the rain and falling snow
Across the fields of mourning
Lights in the distance
[Verse 7]
Ah, don't sorrow, no, don't weep
For tonight at last
I am coming home
I am coming home
Wire Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Innocent, and in a sense I am
Guilty of the crime that's now in hand
Such a nice day, throw your life away
Such a nice day, let it go
[Chorus]
Cold in his eyes, I can't believe it
Cold in his heart and soul
Heart and soul
[Verse 2]
Cold man
Such a cold heart
Such a cold man
I watch you tear yourself apart
[Chorus]
So lay me down, my soul to give
So lay me down, the longest sleep
Oh, the longest sleep
[Verse 3]
In I come and out you go you get
Here we are again, now place your bets
Is this the time, the time to win or lose?
Is this the time, the time to choose?
[Chorus]
Cold in his eyes, I can't believe it
So deep inside a cold fire
Cold in his heart and soul
[Outro]
Don't do it, d-don't do it
Don't do it, d-don't
Anytime you're on the earth
Kiss away (Unh)
You, you, won't you take me?
That's right, just keep me going
In some white track
You come on right back
Cartoon cutout
Cut throat let out
I'm on your side
Be on the both side
I'm alright Jack
You get off my back
I'm no dope
I give you hope
Here's the rope
Here's the rope
Now swing away
Bad Lyrics
[Verse 1]
If you twist and turn away
If you tear yourself in two again
If I could, yes I would
If I could, I would let it go
Surrender, dislocate
[Verse 2]
If I could throw this lifeless lifeline to the wind
Leave this heart of clay, see you walk, walk away
Into the night and through the rain
Into the half light and through the flame
[Verse 3]
If I could, through myself, set your spirit free
I'd lead your heart away, see you break, break away
Into the light and to the day
Hoo, hoo! Hoo, hoo! Hoo, hoo!
Hoo, hoo! Hoo, hoo! Hoo, hoo!
[Chorus]
To let it go and so to fade away
To let it go and so fade away
I'm wide awake, I'm wide awake, wide awake
I'm not sleeping
Oh no, no, no
[Verse 4]
If you should ask, then maybe
They'd tell you what I would say
True colours fly in blue and black
Blue silken sky and burning flag
Colours crash, collide in blood-shot eyes
Hoo, hoo! Hoo, hoo! Hoo, hoo!
[Verse 5]
If I could, you know I would
If I could, I would let it go
This desperation, dislocation
Separation, condemnation
Revelation, in temptation
Isolation, desolation
[Chorus]
Let it go and so fade away
To let it go, oh yeah, and so fade away
To let it go, oh no, and so to fade away
I'm wide awake, I'm wide awake, wide awake
I'm not sleeping
Oh no, no, no
MLK Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Sleep, sleep tonight
And may your dreams be realised
If the thunder cloud passes rain
So let it rain, rain down on he
Mmm, so let it be
Mmm, so let it be
[Verse 2]
Sleep, sleep tonight
And may your dreams be realised
If the thunder cloud passes rain
So let it rain, let it rain
Rain on he
