In the event that this fantastic voyage
Should turn to erosion and we never get old
Remember it's true, dignity is valuable
But our lives are valuable, too.

We're learning to live with somebody's
depression
And I don't want to live with somebody's
depression
We'll get by, I suppose

It's a very modern world, but nobody's
perfect
It's a moving world, but that's no reason
to shoot some of those missiles
Think of us as fatherless scum
It won't be forgotten
'Cause we'll never say anything nice again,
will we?

And the wrong words make you listen
in this criminal world
Remember it's true a loyalty is valuable
But our lives are valuable too.

We're learning to live with somebody's
depression
We'll get by I suppose

But any sudden movement I've got to write it
down
They wipe out an entire race and I've got to
write it down
And it won't be forgotten
But I'm still getting educated but I've got to
write it down
And it won't be forgotten
'Cause I'll never say anything nice again,
how can I?

African nightmare one-time Mormon
More men fall in Hullabaloo men
I slide to the nearest bar
undermine chairman
I went too far
Bent on a windfall
Rent a sony
Wonder how the dollar went down
Gotta get a word to Elizabeth's father
Hey, ho, he wished me well

Seemed like another day
I could fly
Into the eye of God on high

(Repeat)

His burning eye will see me through
One of these days, one of these days
Gotta get a word through
One of these days

Asanti habari habari habari
Asanti nabana nabana nabana
Getting in mood for a Mombassa night flight
Pushing my luck, gonna fly like a mad thing
Bare strip takeoff skimming over Rhino
Born in slumber less than peace
Struggle with a child whose screaming
dreaming
Drowned by the props all steely sunshine
Sick of you, sick of me
Lust for the free life
Quashed and maimed
Like a valuable loved one
Left unnamed

Seemed like another day
I could fly
Into the eye of God on high

(Repeat)

Over the bushland over the trees
Wise like Orangutan
That was me

His burning eye will see me through
One of these days, one of these days
Gotta get a word through
One of these days

Sometimes I feel
That I need to move on
So I pack a bag
And move on
And move on

Well I might take a train
Or sail at dawn
Might take a girl
When I move on
When I move on

Somewhere, someone's calling me
And when the chips are down
I'm just a travelling man
Maybe it's just a trick of the mind
And somewhere there's a morning sky
Bluer than her eyes
Somewhere there's an ocean
Innocent and wild

Africa is sleepy people
Russia has its horsemen
Spent some nights in old Kyoto
Sleeping on the matted ground

Cyprus is my island
When the going's rough
I would love to find you
Somewhere in a place like that

Somewhere, someone's calling me
And when the chips are down
I stumble like a blind man
Can't forget you
Can't forget you

Feeling like a shadow
Drifting like a leaf
I stumble like a blind man
Can't forget you
Can't forget you

Yassassin - I'm not a moody guy
Yassassin - walk without a sound
Yassassin - Just a working man, no judge
of men
Yassassin - But such a life I've never known

We came from the farmlands
To live in this city
We walked proud and lustful
In this resonant world
You want to fight
But I don't want to leave
Or drift away

Yassassin, etc. (chorus)

Look at this - no second glances
Look at this - no value of love
Look at this - just sun and steel
Look at this - then look at us

If there's someone in charge
Then listen to me
Don't say nothing's wrong
'Cause I've got a love
And she's afeared
You want to fight
But I don't want to leave
Or drift away

Yassassin, ...

Feel a bit roughed, feel a bit frightened
Nearly pin it down some time
Red sail action wake up in the wrong town

Boy, I really get around
Thunder ocean
Thunder ocean
Red sails take me
Make me sail along

Red sails and a mast so tall
Red sails
Red sails

Do you remember we another person
Green and black and red and so scared
Graffiti on the wall keep us all in tune
Bringing us all back home

Red sails
Thunder ocean
Red sails
Sailor can't dance like you

Red sail
Red sail action
Red sail
Some reaction

Action boy seen living under neon
Struggle with a foreign tongue
Red sail make him strong
Action make him sail along
Life stands still and stares

The hinterland, the hinterland
We're gonna sail to the hinterland
And it's far far far far far far far far away
Its a far far far far faa faa de-da da-da da-

OOOO

I'm home, lost my job
And incurably ill
You think this is easy
realism
I've got a girl out there
I suppose
I think she's dancin'
I feel like Dan Dare lies down
I think she's dancin'
What do I know?

I am a D.J.
I am what I play
Can't turn around no, can't turn around
I am a D.J.
I am what I play
Can't turn around no, can't turn around

I am a D.J.
I am what I play
I got believers
(Kiss-Kiss)
Believing me.

One more weekend
of lights and evening faces
Fast Food, living nostalgia
Humble pie or bitter fruit

I am a D.J.
I am what I play
Can't turn around no, can't turn around

I am a D.J.
I am what I play
I've got believers
(Kiss-Kiss)
Believing me

He used to be my boss
And now he is a puppet dancer
I am a D.J.
And I've got believers

"You know who I am," he said
The speaker was an angel:
He coughed and shook his crumpled wings,
Closed his eyes and moved his lips
"It's time we should be going."

(Waiting so long, I've been waiting so,
waiting so)
"Look back in anger
Driven by the night,
Till you come."

"Look back in anger
See it in my eyes
Till you come."

No one seemed to hear him
So he leafed through a magazine
And, yawning, rubbed the sleep away
Very sane he seemed to me

"Look back in anger,
Driven by the night,
Till you come."

"Look back in anger,
feel it in my voice,
till you come."

Heaven loves ya
The clouds part for ya
Nothing stands in your way
When you're a boy

Clothes always fit ya
Life is a pop of the cherry
When you're a boy

When you're a boy
You can wear a uniform
When you're a boy
Other boys check you out
You get a girl
These are your favourite things
When you're a boy

Boys
Boys
Boys keep swinging
Boys always work it out

Uncage the colours
Unfurl the flag
Luck just kissed you hello
When you're a boy

They'll never clone ya
You're always first on the line
When you're a boy

When you're a boy
You can buy a home of your own
When you're a boy
Learn to drive and everything
You'll get your share
When you're a boy

Boys
Boys
Boys keep swinging
Boys always work it out

Johnny is a man
And he's bigger than you
But his overheads are high
And he looks straight through you
When you ask him how the kids are

He'll get home around seven
'Cause the chevy's real old
And he could have had a cadillac
If the school had taught him right
And he could have married Anne
With the blue silk blouse
He could have married Anne
With the blue silk blouse

And the food is on the table
But the food is cold
"Can't you even cook?
What's the good of me working
When you can't damn cook?"

Well Johnny is a man
And he's bigger than her
I guess the bruises won't show
If she wears long sleeves

But the space in her eyes shows through
And he could have married Anne
With the blue silk blouse

Can you feel it in the way
That a man is not a man?
Can you see it in the sky
That the landscape is too high?
Like a nervous disease
and it's been there all along

Red Money

Can hear it fall
Can hear it well
Can hear it at all

I was really feeling good
Reet Petite and how d'ya do
Then I got the small red box
And I didn't know what to do
'Cause my fingers could not grope
And I could not give it away
And I knew I must not drop it
Stop it, take it away

Such responsibility
It's up to you and me

Let's say goodbye till tomorrow
With a word sincere
How do you make it through the night?
I hope to god you're still here
I pray Ole

Can you make, can you make it through
Can you make, can you make it through, can you make it through
Can you make, can you make it through
Can you make, can you make it through
Can you make, can you make it through
Can you make, can you make it through, can you make it through
Can you make, can you make it through
I pray Ole

It's a god eat god world
It's a dog's tomorrow
And the song on the wind
Brings nothing back sorrow
I pray Ole, I pray Ole, I pray Ole

Can you make, can you make it through
Can you make, can you make it through, can you make it through
Can you make, can you make it through
Can you make, can you make it through, can you make it
Can you make, can you make it through
Can you make, can you make it through, can you make it through
Can you make, can you make it through
Can you make, can you make it through, can you make it
