When You're Gone Hold on to love That is what I do Now that I've found you And from above Everything's stinking They're not around you And in the night I could be helpless I could be lonely, sleeping without And in the day, everything's complex There's nothing simple when I'm not around you But I miss you when you're gone That is what I do Hey baby It's hard to carry on That is what I knew Hey baby... Hold on to my hands I feel I'm stinking Stinking without you And to my mind Everything's stinking Stinking without you And in the night I could be helpless I could be lonely, sleeping without you And in the day, everything's complex There's nothing simple When I'm not around you I miss you when you're gone That is what I do Hey baby It's hard to carry on That is what I do Hey baby... Free To Decide It's not worth anything more Than it is at all I live as I choose Or I will not live at all So return to where to where you came from Return to where you dwell Because harassment's not my forte But you do it bloody well And I'm free to decide I'm free to decide And I'm not so suicidial after all You must have nothing more With your time to do There's a war in Russia and Sarajevo too So to hell with all your thinking And to hell with your narrow mind You're so distracted from the real thing You should leave your life behind Cos I'm free to decide Free to decide And I'm not so suicidal after all I'm free to decide.... Warchild Who will save the warchild baby Who controls the key? The web we weave is thick and sordid Fine by me At times of war, we're all losers There's no victory We shoot and kill and kill your lover Fine by me Warchild, victim of political pride Plant the seed, territorial greed Mind the warchild, we should mind the warchild I spent last winter in New York and came upon a man He was sleeping on the streets and homeless He said "I fought in Vietnam" Beneath his shirt he wore his mark, he bore the mark of pride A two inch deep incision, carved into his side Warchild, victim of political pride Plant the seed, terrirtorial greed Forever Yellow Skies Yellow Skies I can see you in yellow skies See you again I'll see you again In my dreams In my dreams Morning light I remember morning light Outside my door I'll see you no more In my dreams Forever Forever holding Forever holding you Responsible Black and white It's become so black and white So insecure You're so insecure That's what you are Forever Forever I'll be Forever holding you Responsible... The Rebels Seems like yesterday we were 16 We were the rebels of the rebel scene We wore Doc Martens in the sun Drinking vintage cider having fun Drinking vintage cider having fun It wasn't often that we fought at all It wasn't often... We wore Doc Martens in the snow Paint our toenails black and let our hair grow What I am now is what I was then I am not more acceptable that then I an not more acceptable than then It wasn't often that we fought at all It wasn't often... Seems like yesterday we were 16 We were the rebels of the rebel scene (sigh) I Just Shot John Lennon It was the fearful night of December 8th He was returning home from the studio late He had perceptively known that it wouldn't be nice Because in 1980, he paid the price John Lennon died... With a Smith and Wesson 38 John Lennon's life was no longer a debate He should have stayed at home He should have never cared The man who took his life declared: He said, "I just shot John Lennon, I just shot John Lennon" What a sad and sorry and sickening sight What a sad and sorry and sickening night... Electric Blue Electric blue eyes where did you come from Electric blue eyes who sent you Electric blue eyes always be near me Electric blue eyes I need you (Chanting): Domine, domine deus Domine, aduiva me Domine, domine deus Domine adiu, aduiva me If you should go, you should know I love you If you should go you should know I am here Always be near me guardian angel Always be near me, there's no fear (Chanting) I'm Still Remembering I'm still remembering the day I gave my life away I'm still remembering the time You said you'd be mine Yesterday was cold and bare, Because you were not there Yesterday was cold My story has been told I need your affection all the way The world has changed Or I've changed in a way I try to remain, I'm tyring not to go insane I need your affection all the way... I'm still remembering my life Before I became your wife I'm still remembering the pain And the mind games Reverse psychology Never tainted me I didn't sell my soul, I didn't sell my soul... I need your affection all the way.... They say the cream will always Rise to the top They say the good people Are always first to drop What of Kurt Cobain? Will his prescence still remain? Remember JFK? Ever saintly in a way Where are you now? Where are you now? Where are you now? I say, where are you now? I need your affection all the way... Will You Remember? Will you remember the dress I wore? Will you remember my face? Will you remember the lipstick I wore? This world is a wonderful place Will you remember the black limousine? Will you remember champagne? Will you remember the things that we've seen? I will return here again Will you remember the flowers in my hand? Will you remember my hair? Will you remember the future we planned? The world is not waiting out there I won't remember the dress I wore I won't remember champagne I won't remember the things that we swore I will just love you in vain Will you remember? Will you recall? Joe There was a time I was so lonely Remember the time, it was a Friday You made me feel fine, we did it my way I sat on your knees every Friday I still recall you... I see you in summer... Joe... Joe... I sat on your chair by the fire Transfixed in a stare, taking me higher Precious years to remember Childhood fears I surrender I still recall you... I see you in summer... Joe... Joe... Bosnia I would like to state my vision Life was so unfair We live in our secure surroundings And people die out there Bosnia was so unkind Sarajevo changed my mind And we all call out in despair All the love we need isn't there And we all sing songs our rooms Sarajevo erects another tomb Sarajevo, Sarajevo, Sarajevo Bosnia was so unkind Sarajevo, Sarajevo, Sarajevo Bosnia was so unkind Sure thigns would change if we really wanted them to No fear for children anymore There are babies in their hands, terror in their heads For for the love of life When do the saints go marching in? When do the saints go marching in? The Picture I View I haven't changed But my life has People are strange when it's like as I did something wrong to them And I don't even know your name... I swear that he's good for me, And I swear he looks after me, And I swear that he looks out for me... And I swear that he's good The picture I view The picture I view All my (friends) and promises Went tumbling down the hill All my friends and promises Went tumbling down the hill They went tumbling down the hill I haven't changed, but my life has People are strange when it's like as I did something wrong to them And I don't even know your name. Cordell Once you ruled my mind I thought you'd always be there And I'll always hold on to your face But everything changes in time And the answers are not always fair And I hope you've gone to a better place Cordell Time will tell They say that you've passed away And I hope you've gone to a better place Time will tell Time will tell They say that you've passed away And I know that you've gone to a better place Cordell... Your lover and baby will cry But you prescense will always remain Is this how it was meant to be? You meant something more to me That what many people will see And to hell with the endless dream Cordell Time will tell They say that you've passed away And I hope you've gone to a better place Time will tell Time will tell We all will depart and decay And we all will return to a better place Cordell...
