Secret World Live

Souma yergon, sou nou yergon, we are shakin' the tree
Souma yergon, sou nou yergon, we are shakin' the tree

Waiting your time, dreaming of a better life
Waiting your time, you're more than just a wife
You don't want to do what your mother has done
She has done
This is your life, this new life has begun
It's your day - a woman's day
It's your day - a woman's day

Turning the tide, you are on the incoming wave
Turning the tide, you know you are nobody's slave
[ 1989 version - find your brothers and sisters ]
[ 1990 version - find your sisters and brothers ]
Who can hear all the truth in what you say
They can support you when you're on your way
It's your day - a woman's day
It's your day - a woman's day

Souma yergon, sou nou yergon, we are shakin' the tree
Souma yergon, sou nou yergon, we are shakin' the tree
Souma yergon, sou nou yergon, we are shakin' the tree

[ extra lyrics from 1989 12" remix ]

There's nothing to gain when there's nothing to be lost
There's nothing to gain if you stay behind and count the cost
Make the decision that you can be who you can be
You can be
Tasting the fruit come to the liberty tree
It's your day - a woman's day
It's your day - a woman's day

[ end of extra lyrics from 12" remix ]

Changing your ways, changing those surrounding you
Changing your ways, more than any man can do
Open your heart, show him the anger and pain, so you heal
Maybe he's looking for his womanly side, let him feel

You had to be so strong
And you do nothing wrong
Nothing wrong at all
We're gonna to break it down
We have to shake it down
Shake it all around

Souma yergon, sou nou yergon, we are shakin' the tree
Souma yergon, sou nou yergon, we are shakin' the tree
Souma yergon, sou nou yergon, we are shakin' the tree
...

In this proud land we grew up strong
We were wanted all along
I was taught to fight, taught to win
I never thought i could fail

No fight left or so it seems
I am a man whose dreams have all deserted
I've changed my face, i've changed my name
But no one wants you when you lose

Don't give up
'cos you have friends
Don't give up
You're not beaten yet
Don't give up
I know you can make it good

Though i saw it all around
Never thought i could be affected
Thought that we'd be the last to go
It is so strange the way things turn

Drove the night toward my home
The place that i was born, on the lakeside
As daylight broke, i saw the earth
The trees had burned down to the ground

Don't give up
You still have us
Don't give up
We don't need much of anything
Don't give up
'cause somewhere there's a place
Where we belong

Rest your head
You worry too much
It's going to be alright
When times get rough
You can fall back on us
Don't give up
Please don't give up

'got to walk out of here
I can't take anymore
Going to stand on that bridge
Keep my eyes down below
Whatever may come
And whatever may go
That river's flowing
That river's flowing

Moved on to another town
Tried hard to settle down
For every job, so many men
So many men no-one needs

Don't give up
'cause you have friends
Don't give up
You're not the only one
Don't give up
No reason to be ashamed
Don't give up
You still have us
Don't give up now
We're proud of who you are
Don't give up
You know it's never been easy
Don't give up
'cause i believe there's the a place
There's a place where we belong

I stood in this sunsheltered place
'til i could see the face behind the face
All that had gone before had left no trace

Down by the railway siding
In our secret world, we were colliding
All the places we were hiding love
What was it we were thinking of?

So i watch you wash your hair
Underwater, unaware
And the plane flies through the air
Did you think you didn't have to choose it
That i alone could win or lose it
In all the places we were hiding love
What was it we were thinking of?

In this house of make believe
Divided in two, like adam and eve
You put out and i recieve

{chorus:}
Down by the railway siding
In our secret world, we were colliding
In all the places we were hiding love
What was it we were thinking of?

Oh the wheel is turning spinning round and round
And the house is crubling but the stairways stand

With no guilt and no shame, no sorrow or blame
Whatever it is, we are all the same

Making it up in our secret world [x3]
Shaking it up
Breaking it up
Making it up in our secret world

Seeing things that were not there
On a wing on a prayer
In this state of disrepair

[chorus]

Shh, listen...

stand back!
'said stand back!

What are those dogs doing sniffing at my feet?
They're on to something, picking up
Picking up this heat, this heat

{chorus 1:}
Give me steam
And how you feel can make it real
Real as anything you've seen
Get a life with the dreamer's dream

You know your culture from your trash
You know your plastic from your cash
When i lose sight of the track
You know the way back
But i know you

You know your stripper from your paint
You know your sinner from your saint
Whenever heaven's doors are shut
You kick them open, but
I know you

{chorus 2:}
Give me steam
And how you feel can make it real
Real as any place you've been
Get a life with the dreamer's dream

Stand back!
'said stand back!
Can't you see i've lost control? i'm getting indiscreet
You're moving in so close 'til i'm picking up
Picking up this heat, this heat

[chorus 1]

You know your green from your red
You know the quick from the dead
So much better than the rest
You think you've been blessed
But i know you

You know your leather from your snake
You know the throttle from the brake
You know your straight line from a curve
You've got a lot of nerve
But i know you

[chorus 2]

Everybody nosedive
Hold your breath, count to five
Backslap, boobytrap
Cover it up in bubblewrap
Room shake, earthquake
Find a way to stay awake
It's gonna blow, it's gonna break
This is more than i can take

Oh yeah, i need steam
Feel the steam around me
Ah you're turning up the heat
When i start to dream aloud
'til you're movin' hands and feet
Won't you step into this cloud of steam
This steam

[chorus 1]

Help me yeah
Ready to steam out the log jam
Stir crazy from the freezer to the boil
Water's bubbling, it's b..b..b..bubbling
Bubbling bubbling bubbling bubbling
Life is coming to the boil
Gimme steam, lady
Gimme the steam around me now
On a high, coming alive
'said gimme some steam!

Love i get so lost, sometimes
Days pass and this emptiness fills my heart
When i want to run away
I drive off in my car
But whichever way i go
I come back to the place you are

All my instincts, they return
And the grand facade, so soon will burn
Without a noise, without my pride
I reach out from the inside

In your eyes
The light the heat
In your eyes
I am complete
In your eyes
I see the doorway to a thousand churches
In your eyes
The resolution of all the fruitless searches
In your eyes
I see the light and the heat
In your eyes
Oh, i want to be that complete
I want to touch the light
The heat i see in your eyes

Love, i don't like to see so much pain
So much wasted and this moment keeps slipping away
I get so tired of working so hard for our survival
I look to the time with you to keep me awake and alive

And all my instincts, they return
And the grand facade, so soon will burn
Without a noise, without my pride
I reach out from the inside

In your eyes
The light the heat
In your eyes
I am complete
In your eyes
I see the doorway to a thousand churches
In your eyes
The resolution of all the fruitless searches
In your eyes
I see the light and the heat
In your eyes
Oh, i want to be that complete
I want to touch the light,
The heat i see in your eyes
In your eyes in your eyes
In your eyes in your eyes
In your eyes in your eyes

I caught sight of my reflection
I caught it in the window
I saw the darkness in my heart
I saw the signs of my undoing
They had been there from the start
And the darkness still has work to do
The knotted chord's untying
They're heated and they're holy
Oh they're sitting there on high
So secure with everything they're buying

{chorus:}
In the blood of eden
Lie the woman and the man
With the man in the woman
And the woman in the man
In the blood of eden
Lie the woman and the man
We wanted the union
Oh the union of the woman
The woman and the man

My grip is surely slipping
I think i've lost my hold
Yes, i think i've lost my hold
I cannot get insurance anymore
They don't take credit, only gold
Is that a dagger or a crucifix i see
You hold so tightly in your hand
And all the while the distance grows between you and me
I do not understand

[chorus]

At my request, you take me in
In that tenderness, i am floating away
No certainty, nothing to rely on
Holding still for a moment
What a moment this is
Oh for a moment of forgetting, a moment of bliss
Heyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

I can hear the distant thunder
Of a million unheard souls
Of a million unheard souls
Watch each one reach for creature comfort
For the filling of their holes

In the blood of eden
Lie the woman and the man
With the man in the woman
And the woman in the man
In the blood of eden
We wanted the union
Of the woman and the man

In the blood of eden
Lie the woman and the man
I feel the man in the woman
And the woman in the man

In the blood of eden
Lie the woman and the man
I feel the man in the woman
And the woman in the man


In the blood of eden
We've done everything we can
In the blood of eden
Saw the end as we began
With the man in the woman
And the woman in the man
It was all for the union
Oh, the union of the woman, the woman and the man.

[extra lyrics from the "film mix"]

The blood of eden keeps running through me
Running through my veins
The blood of eden keeps rushing through me
When i'm sure there's none that remains
The blood of eden keeps running through me
I can feel it in my bones
That blood of eden keeps rushing through me
Taking back what it owns

Something in me, dark and sticky
All the time it's getting strong
No way of dealing with this feeling
Can't go on like this too long

{chorus:}
This time you've gone too far [x3]
I told you [x4]
This time you've gone too far [x3]
I told you [x4]

Don't talk back
Just drive the car
Shut your mouth
I know what you are
Don't say nothing
Keep your hands on the wheel
Don't turn around
This is for real
Digging in the dirt
Stay with me, i need support
I'm digging in the dirt
To find the places i got hurt
Open up the places i got hurt

The more i look, the more i find
As i close on in, i get so blind
I feel it in my head, i feel it in my toes
I feel it in my sex, that's the place it goes

[chorus]

I'm digging in the dirt
Stay with me i need support
I'm digging in the dirt
To find the places i got hurt
To open up the places i got hurt

Digging in the dirt
To find the places we got hurt
[x7]
