Hell and back
We can begin you catch a down bound train/ Stares in your eyes a heavy heavy load the ticket to hold to hell and back again. /In the city shine the bright lights /the city holds so many promises to be broken. /Stars in your eyes /the words of a friend /You’ll take one-step forward two steps back Then you’ll be back again. /Two thousand miles Two thousand miles Two thousand miles show no mercy /Walking down the road you see someone Coming up the other way /who says Haven’t I seen your face before in another time in another place /and isn’t funny how In such a such a small place such big place And all the people that you meet /and you Say well what are you doing here anyway
Hell and back again

My Spirit
You are my spirit You are my heart You are my eyes You are my love /My spirit touches me /My spirit watches over me /My spirit is carried in the wind /My spirit rises from smoldering flames /You are You are You are You are /My heart burns with love /My heart flows with the water /My eyes peer through the blazing sun /My eyes cry tears of love /You are my spirit /You are my heart /You are my eyes /You are my love /Touch me call my name /You are my spirit /You are my heart /You are my eyes /You are my love /You are my spirit /You are my heart /You are my eyes /You are my love

The Promised Land
The shadows are lifting form over my heart /The fires are burning deep in my soul /Now the hiding is over step into the sun /For tomorrow a change it will come /I have no concern for what will happen to me /But like anyone I would like to live long and free /I am lucky I am already free /Love has come and love has taken me /The light of the day washes over me /The new morning will come /For I have been to the top of the mountain I have seen the glory /I have no fear Nothing will turn us around /I don’t know what will happen now /There are many many difficult days ahead /But I am lucky I am already free /Love has come and love has taken me

On the road
Somewhere in the distance down the dirty and winding track /Come all the searches who say we are never going back Into the never ending down the hollow road /Is the silent echo of a dream turned cold /Swore we’d live there someday Swore we live for ever /Chasing the dream on the road to freedom Chasing the dream on the road to glory And freedom /Sometimes it is lonely /And it is more than you can bare /They make you feel so damn small /They just don’t care /Swore we’d live there someday Swore we’d live for ever /Chasing the dream on the road to freedom Chasing the dream on the road to glory And freedom /Freedom

In the Morning
I touched you in the morning In the sunshine /It was like I was floating in time /The dust danced on the beams of light You turned your head around /In the morning /You could hear the woman next door fighting with her kids /They didn’t want to go to school they never did /As you raised yourself up off the bed You forced a sleepy smile In the morning /The city all around was full of that wake up sound And we spoke again about trying to get away /It’s the evening and nothing has changed It s the evening and it’s still the same

Turned on its head
Can you see the flags flying in the wind? /Can you see the hands holding them? /And waving them with such certainty As all around the world turns on its head /I don’t believe any more that things are just getting better /There is so much suffering everywhere you care to look /The images we see don’t feed the helpless /They just feed our guilty conscious /When all around the world turns on its head /My generation has no future and has nothing left to say /Nostalgia is the luxury of those who have made history /No one is listening anyway as all around the world Turns on its head /I follow this road I don’t know where it will take me /And when comes judgment day I pray for mercy /I tried it all and now I am wondering how do you stay standing /When the world turns on it head Turns on its head

Remember
This is a lesson for the powerful /Those who make the rules /Remember how the mighty fall Those who make history /Those who claim destiny Remember how the mighty fall /When the pages are burnt on your book of who’s who /When the sun rises on your black box of tricks /When your windows are broken and the illusion slips /Remember the mighty fall Those who make the rules /Those who fool the fools /Remember how the mighty fall /Remember the mighty fall

Shame
This is a story I’m not sure you’ll want to hear /Of a young man found hanging in a prison cell /This is an indictment this is a shame we all share /This is the guilt that runs through white complacent hands /I was in the city one night I saw a fight /Two drunks falling over each other one was black and one was white /The police came they let the white man walk away /He even taunted the blackman as the were dragging him away /I stood at my car as the police arrested the black people in the street /Every night the pubs take their money then they push them out into the heat /Then I pulled up at the lights behind the prison van the people inside screamed at me to try and make me understand /Then they drove away from me off into the night /I could hear the screams echo down the quite and empty streets /I read in the paper the next day of the man found hanging in a prison cell and I knew for certain he was no criminal /This is an indictment this is a shame we all share /This is the guilt that runs through white complacent hands

Pink and Blue
I realise what I said before /was out of line /I won’t say those things anymore. /I will give to you s/omething that I owe /and I will say to you that I’ve still got a long way to go /Ah pink and blue the joke is on me and on you. /Ah pink and blue the joke is on me and on you. /Now you could say nothing has really changed /All the images they are just the same /Now all this grit just leaves a bad taste in my mouth, /When I can help myself I try and spit it out. /Day by day we do all they say /We get up and go to work and earn our pay /But sometimes you’ve got to let nothing stand in your way /Never stop working for a brand new day

Wittenoom /We were almost grateful work was hard to get /We stared out in the asbestos pit for a few quid a week /But there are something’s in this land Better left alone /and in our thousands we scraped the filth that buried us /He said lord have no mercy on those that crucified us /They know damn well what they do Anna came to this country and now she is left alone /Her man had so much sickness he left some in their home /It was just for a while until they got on their feet but the mine was a life sentence /It was them they sentenced me /He said lord have no mercy on those that crucified us /They know damn well what they do /Now all the criminals in their coats and their ties /stare at us in court, as we slowly die /they won’t loose this is their game /But to all those men who sentence me to this life of misery /I say to you you are damned He said lord have no mercy on those that crucified us /They know damn well what they do /He said lord have no mercy on those that crucified us They know damn well what they do

Cover me
When love turns to anger /Only time will tell /Who owns your body /Who runs this hell /Cover me /Sometimes I cannot bear the waiting /Or the misery /That is inside you /That is inside me /I want you to cover me /Ever feel like you have been taken for a ride /Ever feel like going over to the other side /Cover me /When you are on the outside /On the edge looking in /At all the mystery /at all the sin /You want something else /You want something more /And all your desires come the fore /I want you to cover me /Cover me /They say that truth is power /Then let it wash over me /And to those who throw the stones /Let freedom be

Hand into the fire
I knew a name I knew a number /I knew a song I knew what day it was /But I still don’t know how something they say is wrong can feel so right /I lost my head I put my hand into the fire /I lost my head I put my hand into the fire /On the road there are seekers There are finders there are keepers
