1.The Road
I keep on coming back for more and more
So many times i get it in the face
I keep on running ' til my dying day
Rain on the roadway, thunder in the sky
The light of day disappears from sight
As the road opens up in front of my eyes
These wheels are burning up the miles
As the road opens up in front of my eyes
The only limitation is in my mind
I drive awake my eyes are on full beam
The wind is screaming into my slipstream
Something keeps pulling me back from sleep
Whatever it is i want to see
These wheels are burning up the road tonight
The fuel is pumping into my mind
As the road opens up in front of my eyes
These wheels are burning up the miles
As the road opens up in front of my eyes
The only limitation is in my mind
I'll be there when it all comes down
I'll be there
I'll be there when it all comes down
I'll be there
When it all comes down
Come on, come on
As the road opens up in front of my eyes
These wheels are burning up the miles
As the road opens up in front of my eyes
The only limitation is in my mind
The road
Fuel pumping gasoline in my mind
From the engine to my body
This wheels on fire
The road
As the road opens up in front of my eyes
The only limitation is in my mind
The road
2.Unsafe Building
Suffer the indignation of your world,
To climb the ladders you've gotta suss out the snakes
Remember your height remember to never look down.
'cause now you've made your choice you've gotta take your chance
Find a way out now you're
Unsafe unsafe
Come out of the cupboard and into the real world
Open the window and let some light into your life
It's dark in the tunnel but keep on coming through
Straight down the line and sure enough you'll see the lights
that shine
'cause now you're young you've got to run you've got to take
your chance
Get out you can.
I
I have declared myself unsafe
I have declared myself unsafe
Unsound, unknown, unwanted, unnecessary
I've been condemmed
I'm unsafe
Behind the wardrobe there lies a better life
Burn all your old clothes start again make yourself something
new
And the bed you've made no you need not sleep in it
Throw back the covers and make all of your dreams come true
Rebuild your life rebuild your home rethink your values
Rethink yourself right through
I
I have declared myself unsafe
I have declared myself unsafe
Unsound, unknown, unwanted, unnecessary
I've been condemmed
I'm unsafe
And leave behind your bridges burning
Take to hills your time will soon come
Because you're here for a purpose but you'll have to search for
it
Whatever it is you have got to decide
'cause now you're young you've got to run
Don't waste your life don't waste your life.
I
I have declared myself unsafe
I have declared myself unsafe
Unsound, unknown, unwanted, unnecessary
I've been condemmed
Who cares
3.The Stand
And i've looked between the lines that lie on the pages that i
tread
I met the walking dude,religious, in his wom down cowboy boots
He walked liked no man on earth
I swear he had no name (had no name)
I swear he had no name
Come on down ＆ meet your maker
Come on down ＆ make the stand
Come on down, come on down,
Come on down ＆ make the stand.
As i crawled beneath the searchlights
Looking through the floorboards of this life
I met doctor strangeloves cousin
He bore the marks of time
'hey! trashcan where you going boy
Your eyes are feet apart
Is that the end you're carrying shall i play the funeral march'
(play the march)
'play the funeral march'
Come on down ＆ meet your maker
Come on down ＆ make the stand
Come on down, come on down,
Come on down ＆ we'll make the stand.
Come on down ＆ meet your maker
Come on down ＆ make the stand
Come on down, come on down,
Come on down, we'll make the stand.
When i looked out the window
On the hardship that had struck i saw the seven phials open
The plague claimed man and son
Four men at a grave in silence with hats bowed down in grace
A simple wooden cross,
It had no epitaph engraved (it had no)
It had no epitaph engraved.
Come on down ＆ meet your maker
Come on down ＆ make the stand
Come on down, come on down,
Come on and make the stand
Come on down ＆ meet your maker
Come on down ＆ make the stand
Come on down, come on down,
Come on down, ＆ we'll make the stand.
4.Sixty Eight Guns
Forever young i cannot stay
Hey
On every corner i can see them there
They don't know my name they don't know my kind
They're after you with their promises
(promises of love)
They're after you to sign your life away
(yeah, yeaoh)
Sixty-eight guns will never die
Sixty-eight guns our battle cry
Sixty-eight guns
Sixty-eight guns
Oh, the sixty-eight
Living in the backstreets
That's our home from home
The painted walls were all we've ever known
he guns forever' that's our battle cry
It is the flag that we fly so high
For every day they'll try and drag us down
(drag us down and down)
I cry with anger i have done no crime
No
(yeah, yeaoh)
Sixty-eight guns will never die
Sixty-eight guns our battle cry
Sixty-eight guns will never die
Sixty-eight guns our battle cry
Sixty-eight guns
Sixty-eight guns
The sixty-eight
Up on the terrace i can hear the crowd roar
Sixty eight guns
And in the subway i can hear them whisper
Sixty eight guns
Through all the raging glory of the years
We never once thought of the fears
For what we'd do when the battle cry was over .
Nothing lasts forever is all they seem to tell you when you're
young
(i, i do swear
To unbreak the promise
To unbreak the vow
Unbreak it)
When you're young
Have no illusion, no disillusion
Unbreak the promise
Unbreak the vow
Uphold the promise
Sixty eight guns
Sixty-eight guns will never die
Sixty-eight guns our battle cry
Sixty-eight guns will never die
Sixty-eight guns our battle cry
Sixty-eight guns
Sixty-eight guns
The sixty eight guns
Sixty eight guns
The sixty eight guns
5.Where Were You Hiding When The Storm Broke？
Forced to choose between a right and wrong
Each man kills the thing he loves
For better or for worse
Face to face with a ragged truth
Mixed up and torn in two
And turned your back on the only thing
That could save you from yourself
Where were you hiding
When the storm broke
When the rain began to fall
When the thunder and the lightning struck
And the rain and the four winds did howl
After all time building up
Comes inevitable knocking down
(one by one )
Comes receivers liars gamblers
Pick pocket entourage
(two by two)
Selling out is a cardinal sin
Sinning with a safety net (three by three)
They say that all things come in threes
Here comes the third degree
Where were you hiding
When the storm broke
When the rain began to fall
When the thunder and the lightning struck
And the rain and the four winds did howl
All cards are marked
And all fates will collide
The truth is the truth
Or the truth is surely a lie
Get back in your shelter
If you can't come down off the fence
And one more question
Where were you？
Where were you？
Where were you hiding
When the storm broke
When the rain began to fall
When the thunder and the lightning struck
And the four winds did howl
Where were you hiding
When the storm broke
When the rain began to fall
Where were you hiding
When the storm broke
When the rain began to fall
Where were you hiding
Four
Winds
Howl

You may just be afraid in this power mad age
But there's one thing we all must find
Some peace in our time

7.Strength
Give me hope
Give me strength
Give me someone to live for
Who will light the fire
That i need to survive
Who will be the life blood
Coursing through my veins
Like a river flowing
That will never change
I need someone
I can depend on
'cause i'm a man of emotions
Who can't hide the tears
I'm a man of feeling
Who can't hide the pain
I'm alone on the outskirts of town
Where no one knows my name
I'm at the point in my life
Where i need affection
Won't you
Give me love (give me love)
Give me hope (give me hope)
Give me strength
Give me someone to live for
Give me love (give me love)
Give me hope (give me hope)

Someone write me a letter
I need to know that i'm still alive
Someone give me a telephone call
I need to hear a human sound
Someone open up a door
And let me out of this place
I've been caged up for oh so long
I don't know if i'm living or dying
Someone better
Give me love (give me love)
Give me hope (give me hope)
Give me strength
Give me someone to live for
Give me love (give me love)
Give me hope (give me hope)
Give me strength
Give me someone to live for
I walk alone across the outskirts of town
I can't control what i'm going through now
Will you light the fire that i need to survive
Will you donate the life blood
Coursing through my veins
Will you open up the door ＆ let me out of this place
I've been caged up for oh so long
I don't know if i'm living or dying
Won't you
Give me love (give me love)
Give me hope (give me hope)
Give me strength
Give me someone to live for
Give me love (give me love)
Give me hope (give me hope)
Give me strength
Give me someone
Someone to live for
8.Spirit Of 76
'bout what we might have had
And what might have been
We had something going once
That was such a long, long time ago
It was way back in '76
Our friendship formed of pure innocence
We first met in mathew street
Where we heard something that would set us free
A sign stands over a door, it says
'four lads who shook the world'
In the depths of those heady nights
We would dream of those bright lights
Oh my friend, oh my friend, oh my friend
And my friend john, he went away
He made some mistakes
Spent time in walton jail
And now when i see him we still talk
But there's no light shining in his eyes
And susie, she was seventeen
And more beauty in this world
I swear you'll never see
I was gonna be king
And she was gonna be queen
But now all she does is hide behind the tears
If there was more sense in this world
And work wasn't so hard to find
You would not be going your way
I would not be going mine
Oh my friend, oh my friend, oh my friend
Somewhere tonight out on the street
Somewhere beneath this city's heat
In the eyes of strangers who pass me by
Life is cruel and so unkind
Oh, oh the spirit of '76
And pete has seen his dreams come true
But that don't make him no hero
He's just one of the lucky few
If a man can't change the world these days
I still believe a man can change his own destiny
But the price is high that has got to be paid
For everyone who survives there are many who fail
I've seen my friends caught out in that crossfire
All their dreams and hopes smashed on the funeral pyre
I will never give in until the day i die
Get myself some independence
Carve out a future with my two bare hands
Oh my friend, oh my friend, oh my friend
Somewhere tonight out on the street
Somewhere beneath this city's heat
In the eyes of strangers who pass me by
Life is cruel and so unkind
Oh, oh the spirit of '76
Mersey lights shine in the distance
Same as they did for us then
Mersey lights shine bright in the distance
Where are you now my friend？
You see some nights when i can't sleep
I still think of you
And all the promises,all our dreams we shared
I know those lights still call to you
I can hear them now
I can hear them now
(still shining for us)
(let em shine)
(can you hear them)
(can you hear them)
(lights are still shining)
Somewhere tonight out on the street
Somewhere beneath this city's heat
In the eyes of strangers who pass me by
Life is cruel and so unkind
Oh- oh
Where's it gone
The spirit of '76
9.Rain In The Summertime
Sweat, like a train
I come, i come,
My body to dust
Scorched by the might of the sun
Burning light, burning white heat
Like wildfire
I sweat a fever
My body screams
Disintegrates in the heat
Our love is the faith that keeps on burning
I love to feel the rain in the summertime
I love to feel the rain on my face
I love to feel the rain in the summertime
I love to feel the rain on my face
Burnt at the stake, on a bed of fire
My body rises
Taking me higher
My loves desire
Is pure ascension fire
And love is the faith that keeps on burning
I love to feel the rain in the summertime
I love to feel the rain on my face
I love to feel the rain in the summertime
I love to feel the rain on my face
And then i run 'til the breath tears my throat
'til the pain hits my side
As if i run fast enough
I can leave all the pain and the sadness behind
I love to feel the rain in the summertime
I love to feel the rain on my face
I love to feel the rain in the summertime
I love to feel the rain on my face
(i love to feel the rain on my face)
(in the summertime)

12.Devolution Working Man Blues
Torn in two
State and nation
I've got to choose
For on these streets
That i spit upon
There's no money in my pocket
No soles on my shoes
Ain't got no religion
But the workingman blues
Oh i, i've got the workin' man blues
Oh i'm kicking the dirt off my shoes
Devolution workingman blues
I don't dance
No rich mans tune
I won't play
The poor mans fool
Within these eyes
That you look upon
There is fear mixed with pride
A dangerous device
For talkin' devolution
Talkin' workin'man blues
Oh i, i've got the workingman blues
Oh i'm kickin' the dirt off my shoes
Devolution workingman blues
Devolution workingman blues
Oh i, i've got the workingman blues
Oh i'm kickin' the dirt off my shoes
Oh i, i've got the workingman blues
Oh i'm kickin' the dirt off my shoes
Oh i, i've got the workingman blues
Oh i, i've got the workingman workingman blues
Devolution workingman blues

14.Marching On
There's a young boy standing
Staring at the world
You know he can't control his anger
You can see it in his eyes
He's gonna smash the window
He's gonna tear down the walls
Hey mister you don't understand it
Take a look at it through my eyes
These are the kids they're powerless
So you tell them so
These are the kids they're powerful
Don't say you haven't been told
(and we'll go)
Marching on
Hear our sound hear our voice
We're growing stronger
(and we'll go)
Marching on
We e not alone and we're keeping on, we're
Marching on
Take a walk round your city walls
Before it all comes down
(tumbeling down)
Take a walk down any street
You're gonna feel the stares of us all
And can you feel it burning
(burning)
Shame is what it's called
You'd better look at what you have created
And think of all the people who hate you
These are the people that made you
When you said you cared for us all
These are the people who l break you
Get prepared for the fall
(and we'll go)
Marching on
Hear our sound hear our voice
We're growing stronger
(and we'll go)
Marching on
We e not alone and we're keeping on, we're
Marching on
We're the young who stand up
We must never be silenced
We've gotta speak up now
For all our sakes
And lift our voices higher
'let's sing our song
Keep on marching marching
And never forget
About the power on the right side
Fights the power on the left
We have got to stand together
Forget the east and west
'cause there's another voice crying in the ghetto
Another mouth to feed
Another heart beating in the ghetto
Another soul to set free
(and we'll go)
Marching on
Hear our sound hear our voice
We e growing stronger
(and we'll go)
Marching on
We e not alone and we're keeping on, we're going
Marching on
Keep on marching, marching, marching on
Lift up your voices higher
(marching, marching, marching on)
Oh yeah
Lift up your voices now
And sing this song
(marching, marching, marching on)
Cause our hearts must have the courage
To keep on
Marching on
15.Blaze Of Glory
When your hands are held up high
And you open up your heart and soul
But that's not enough for most.
I remember this much
There is nothing
You shouldn't speak of
If you got something to say
And there is no one
To be scared of
Just get them out of the way
Going out in a blaze of glory
My heart is open wide
You can take anything that you want from me
There is nothing left to hide
Going out in a blaze of glory
My hands are held up high
I'm learning how to hit back
I'm learning how to fight
The law of the jungle says
You look after yourself
But i remember this much
I love as i've been loved myself.
Don't forget what i told you now
When the question keeps on coming
And it's 'how much more can you take'
When they've ripped your clothes to pieces
'shouldn't you be gone by now'
But you keep on
Going out in a blaze of glory
Setting your sights for the sky.
They can offer you anything at all
But your dreams must not be sold.
Going out in a blaze of glory
No price is high enough
I'm fighting back with feeling
I'm fighting back with love
When the nails are biting into your hands
And the cross is heavy on your heart
Now is the time to really make a stand
My hands are held up high.
(going out)
In a blze of glory
(going out)
In a blaze of glory
(going out)
In a blaze of glory
Going out in a blaze of glory
My heart is open wide
You can take anything that you want from me
But you cannot take my soul
Going out in a blaze of glory
My hands are held up high
I'm learning how to hit back
Yes i'm learning how to fight
Going out in a blaze of glory
Going out with my heart wide open
Going out with my hands held high
Going out in a blaze of glory
(repeat)
Fighting back with love
Fighting back with love!
No price is high enough
To take my soul, to take my soul
To take my soul
It's funny how they shoot you down
When your hands are held up high
(keep on going with my hands held high)
