1.Dancing with Tears In My Eyes
Lyricist:Chris Allen, W Cann, B Currie, M Ure
Dancing with tears in my eyes
Weeping for the memory of a life gone by
Dancing with tears in my eyes
Living out a memory of a love that died
It's five and I'm driving home again
It's hard to believe that it's my last time
The man on the wireless cries again
'It's over, it's over'
Dancing with tears in my eyes
Weeping for the memory of a life gone by
Dancing with tears in my eyes
Living out a memory of a love that died
It's late and I'm with my love alone
We drink to forget the coming storm
We love to the sound of our favorite song
Over and over
Dancing with tears in my eyes
Living out a memory of a love that died
It's time and we're in each others arms
It's time but I don't think we really care
Dancing with tears in my eyes
Weeping for the memory of a life gone by
Dancing with tears in my eyes
Weeping for the memory of a life gone by
Dancing with tears in my eyes
2.A Friend I Call Desire
Lyricist:Christopher Thomas Allen, Warren Reginald Cann, William
Currie, Midge Ure
Desire
Desire
Desire
Desire
You live for love, I long for it
You give for love, I take from it
This friend of mine, desire
This lover's crime, desire
Emotion driving all the time
A burning need for things not mine
Desire
Desire
Desire
You need your love, I walk from it
You fight for love, I run from it
My enemy, desire
Caressing me, desire
The torch I carried burnt my hand
I can't control what I can't stand
Desire
Desire
Desire
You live for love, I lie for it
You give for love, I shy from it
And the pain, and the lust
And the want, and the hurt
And the lies, and the fear
And the urge, and the feel
And the touch, and it's all
A friend I call desire
You live for love, I lie for it
You give for love, I shy from it
And the pain, and the lies
And the touch, and it's all
A friend I call desire
3.Heart of the Country
Lyricist:Christopher Thomas Allen, Warren Reginald Cann, William
Currie, Midge Ure
I was young and not deceived then
I believed in the heart of the country
How the words sound, how the truth lies
I was moved by the heart of the country
Then I saw through the charade
The facade, now I've had it all
When they ask you, 'Who deprives you?'
You reply your heart of the country
I am older, I am wiser
I despise the heart of the country
Then I felt it
All the tears and the grief
I believed it all
Taking bad times by the handful
Do what you can for the heart of the country
They dish the dirt out, hard to swallow
Just to follow the heart of the country
Heed the words and learn the lines
I'll be fine when I have it all
Heart of the country
Heart of the country
Heart of the country
Heart of the country
Heart of the country
Heart of the country
Heart of the country
Heart of the country
Heart of the country
4.Lament
Lyricist:Chris Allen, W Cann, Billy Currie, Midge Ure
And just as my eyes start seeing
After all the pain
The twist in my life starts healing
Just to twist again
In stillness, in sorrow
Returns that softly sighing lament
Lament
And just as the smile's returning
After all the pain
The fire inside stops burning
Just to burn again
In moments of madness
Returns that softly sighing lament
Lament
Lament
Lament
Lament
Lament
Lament
Lament
5.Man of Two Worlds
Lyricist:Chris Allen, W Cann, Billy Currie, Midge Ure
Taking shelter by the standing stones miles from all that moves
Breathing solitude, seeking confidence a gift to me
Feeling spirits never far removed passing over me
And I greet them with open arms
Hand fighting hand
As you turn to a man of two worlds
Taobh ri taobh tha sinn mar aon de dha shaobhail
Do lambh nam lambh gabhal aithne air leim a ghablh
Reading passages of ancient rhyme cut so deep so old
Telling tales of travelers and mystery
Hearing spirits never far removed calling out aloud
When the time comes they'll talk to me
Hand fighting hand
As you turn to a man of two worlds
Taobh ri taobh tha sinn mar aon de dha shaobhail
Do lambh nam lambh gabhal aithne air leim a ghablh
Hand fighting hand
As you turn to a man of two worlds
Feel a presence moving into me
Painting pictures with its words
Ooh, seeing places that I've never seen
Like a door thrown open on a life I've lived before
Taobh ri taobh tha sinn mar aon de dha shaobhail
Do lambh nam lambh gabhal aithne air leim a ghablh
Mar e shealbhaichis mi an tiodhlac seo ahonisa
S mo lambh n'ad lambh smuainich air na tireauu ceinne
S mi deaunabh gardochas da raire
6.One Small Day
Lyricist:Chris Allen, Warren Cann, Billy Currie, Midge Ure
If the stack is high against you and the hammer's coming down
And the time that's yours lies heavy in your hands
Oh, my sentimental friend, the fast much reach an end
Lying face down on the cold stone and they give their all to you
But their all is slipping through your hands
Oh, my sentimental friends, your time will come again
One day, where I didn't die a thousand times
Where I could satisfy this life of mine, one small day
One day, where every hour could be a joy to me
And live a life the way it's meant to be, one small day
How many times has it turned against you
How many times will they walk away
How many times have you let depression win the fight
Oh, my sentimental friends, we'll walk as one again
One day, where I didn't die a thousand times
Where I could satisfy this life of mine, one small day
One day, where every hour could be a joy to me
And live a life the way it's meant to be, one small day
Walk away, turned against you, walk away
Turned against you, walk away
How many times has it turned against you?
How many times will they walk away?
One day, where I didn't die a thousand times
Where I could satisfy this life of mine
One day, where every hour could be a joy to me
And live a life the way it's meant to be
One day, where I wouldn't feel my senses die
Where nothing made me hang my head and cry
One day, where I could see myself as others do
Where I could feel the strength of love at hand
One day, where I didn't die a thousand times
Where I could satisfy this life of mine
One day, where every hour could be a joy to me
And live a life the way it's meant to be
One day, where I wouldn't feel my senses die
7.When the Time Comes
Lyricist:Chris Allen, W Cann, Bill Currie, Midge Ure
So you think it's over
So you think that down's the only way out
A sad excuse for lovers
With your head held high and your heart still full of doubt
It's just like you to scorn
The only one who'll mourn
The day he doesn't love you
When the time comes, I'll cry
On the day that you cut the thread
When my heart tears, I'll cry
So you gave up giving
And you sit and smile when the awkward silence falls
Deny the life you're living
Just a fleeting love that you only half recall
It's just like you to make
A passion turned to hate
The day he doesn't love you
When the time comes, I'll cry
On the day that you cut the thread
When my heart tears, I'll cry
Still we're here together
Feeling helpless as our heaven turns to hell
The taker and the giver
Washed in anger when we think how far we fell
It's just like you to take
The step than makes the break
The day he doesn't love you
When the time comes, I'll cry
When the time comes, I'll cry
When the time comes, I'll cry
When the time comes, I'll cry
Cry, cry, cry
8.White China
Lyricist:Chris Allen, W Cann, Billy Currie, Midge Ure
When pale turns to pink, with the soft unnerving ease
And all you've built around, may just tumble to the ground
We stand or fall, with your future in another's hands
We stand or fall, when your life is not your own
When white turns to red in the not too distant days
Will force and misery, be the life you have to lead?
We stand or fall, with your children in another's world
We stand or fall, when your town is not your own
White China, white China
When crimson takes a hold, the lights go down on all you've ever
known
When all you'll ever do is worked out for you
We stand or fall, when the thoughts you have are not your own
We stand or fall, oh, when the freedom slips away
White China, white China
White China, white China
White China, white China
9.Easterly
10.Building
One last smile
As we turn away in wrong directions
Feeling the kick
From a multitude of cooled reflections
Building on my life alone
One last look
As we turn our backs on deeper feelings
This new release
And think ahead to all who see
May building on my life alone
Building on my life alone...
