Come on,come on,come on, home tonight
Take it, take it, home tonight
All the lights will be shining home tonight

Baby come home,baby come home

Well the choirs were singing and the candles they were burning
And the lantern girls and alter boys were crossed and cleaned
And my baby and me watched the prayers go higher and higher
As we sadly, slowly, surely took our leave

We're crying now
We we're crying then
Hearing golden bells

So we walked the long mile from the chapel gates
And i felt her warm in my hand as the wind drew us faster
We had no names or flowers in the churchyard
No cards or pity just a childlike space in our hearts

We're crying now
We we're crying then
Hearing golden bells

Oh the light that shines on life
And the living that can tell
Oh the joy, when the gates we reach
And ring those golden bells

I've been dancing round your grave
Cos' i'm always much to scared
Hope you've longed to say
I never liked the way you dressed
Or the cheap ways you impressed
It gets better now your dead

Thats o.k.
I'm not afraid
Not afraid what anyone says now

I can sit around all day
Don't need to hear you say
You'll regret it at my age
And i'm frozen on this stage
I'm blinded by the gaze
Waited for me to say

Its not o.k.
To be this scared
???????????

I don't need your ghost
Coming back, coming back coming back

Just as the dark began to fall
I caught you singing in the hall
But for the beauty of it all

Now everyone's singing
How baby's in black
She got holy rocker
Mad dog he called ronnie
Say here come old flat top
Come moving up slowly
And she got a smile
I can feel in my hip pocket

And i cry, i cry, i cry
Yes i sigh
Well it's a big big dream
But it's a good one

And she's beside me at the wheel
It seems so real
And the driving it's so tiring
And tank is less than zero
And my lips are chapped
What with the roof down flat
And my lips are aching
And my veins is busting

And i cry, i cry, i cry
Yes i sigh
Well it's a big big drream
But it's a good one

And baby's got style
Like a missile silo
And she got speed
Like a derby racer
So you think i'm confused
In this wild hard mood?
No, no she leads me by the hand
Can't be bad

I have come five thousand miles and tried to find the ways to b e happy
Travelled through the setting sun i hear those blue lights come i come gladly
Jesus weeps does no-one sleep here anymore?

Just a dime and a half and i'm in oblivion
(oh i'll be sure)
Get it together in a room with a t.v. on
(the world gets better)
I'm on a terrace with a bet on the obvious
(it's gonna shine some more)
Then the thunder struck and the lightning flashed
(oh well that mexico rain)

Jenny's in the jail for telling tales for gold and silver pieces
And the whole world's reading braille like slow snails till the story turns stale and ceases
I'm not coming back down here anymore

Just a dime and a half and i'm in oblivion
(oh i'll be sure)
Get it together in a room with a t.v. on
(the world gets better)
I'm on a terrace with a bet on the obvious
(ithe sun is gonna shine)
Then the thunder struck and the lightning flashed
He put it all on a certain return
Then lost a dollar fifty on mexico rain

We went as we know how
As far as the wind and the sky would allow
Waking from sleep
Alive to the noise we came

After the turn of the year
With only the sky as a silver seer
Of anything restively turning
And slowly beginning

Now even the weatherman's smiling
He never could see it this good
Why are we so afraid
That under the indigo sky
We'll sing and we'll drink and we'll cry

After the falling apart
After the noise and the guilt and the hurt
We woke from sleep
And saw that it wasn't a dream

Was it a trick of the light
That there in the spirit damned demon night
We lit a fire
And crowded all around it

Now even the weatherman's smiling
He never could see it this good
Why are we sore afraid
That under the indigo sky we lay down and we died

Under the indigo sky
We lay down and we died

Let's sing a song for all the workmen
Working on the carpark down by here
Wrecking through the tombstones and the granite
Cutting through the bone here
Sweeping all the dust here
Crunching all the dirt down
Lifting it up and putting it down

For once the sun beats down so warmly
As the earthmovers come on so strong
Move some hard old century closer
Move it from the earth
Put it on the truck
Drive the truck away
Lift it all up and put it all down

And now the site stands still and silent
As the men come circling around
To see the bag left in the ground here
Must have been a time ago
Can't have been that old
Must have been so lonely
So lift up and set it down

I can see my father in his place now
It's many years away from here
Lying back in sleep that's short and deep
I think he's a good man
I feel his good hands
They seemed so soft then
When they were setting us up and putting us down

There`s no direction
And no way through
There is no reason
To pay back what is through
You never owned intentions
Never knowed no way back
Never knowed no way back

But i know you`re only asking
And i know you might just care
You only ring my number
For the answer that`s not there
You know the cost of everything
And the value of nothing
The only thing that`s certain
Is you`re bound to love again

And he just came from eden
Where the fruit was on the tree
And he passed me some and signalled
That the world was there to see
And it seemed so wide and opened
And it seemed to be so free
It seemed to be so free

Well you opened up the cage
And you let us fly away
You saw us as we carried
All the gifts that you now see
You know the cost of everything
But you value what you yearn
The only thing that`s certain
Is you`re bound to love again
Bound to love again
Bound to love again

Bound to love again
Bound to love again

You know the cost of everything
And the value of nothing
The only thing that`s certain
Is you`re bound to love again

I know you`re only asking
And i know you might just care
You only ring my number
For the answer that`s not there
You know the cost of everything
And the value of nothing
The only thing that`s certain
Is you`re bound to love again

You`re bound to love again
Bound to love again

Everything gets broken
And pushed aside
Sympathy will be spoken
Even faith will die

I've got a thing about wheels
Everything returning
I've got a thing about wheels
I've got a thing about wheels

Love , love , love only love remains

Where we are standing
Is where they put 'em in the earth
All his beautiful faces
There's nothing of him left

I've got to walk through that earth
I've got to walk through that earth
I've got to live through that death
I've got to live through that death

Love , love , love only love remains
Love , love , love only love remains

For oscar marzaroli 1933 - 1988

Take me to the place where your heart hurts most
Lead me through the dark world gates down there
Where all the ghosts of sorrow and pain
And fear and despair stay hiding
And we'll walk right through to our own way, our own place

There's a beach that i walk so long and so broad
Oceans away miles longer than pain
In my glad dreams, i take you there, and it's easy
Because the work and the hours
And the pay are far behind our sure steps

My heart longs to be next to you
My heart want's to be there, be there with you
Where it's warm and tender and mercy flows like a river
And there you stand with your wide open hands
And say abide with me

(cover version of a husker du song)

You can do what you want to do
You can say what you want to say
You can think what you think you want
It doesn't matter anyway

It's not funny anymore
It's not funny anymore

Play what you want to play
Hear what you want to hear
Don't worry about the result
Or the effect is has on your career
It's not funny any more
It's not funny anymore

Act like you want to act
Be what you want to be
Find out who you really are
And don't pay any attention to me

It's not funny any more
It's not funny any more
It's not funny anymore
It's not funny anymore

I hear the music coming out of the radio
Are you there with another girl
Instead of me
I hear your laughter and theres something i've got to know
Are you there with another girl
Instead of me

I'm standing on your doorstep and i don't know what to do
Should i ring your door bell or just walk away
My friends all say you were never true
(hiding in the shadows)

I see two silohouttes at the back of your window shield
Are you there with another girl
When i am gone
I can't believe you'd break the promises that you made
If your there with another girl i can't go on

I only know i love you i couldn't say why
So if theres another i don't want to know
If you should go i would surely die

Love requires faith i've got a lot of faith but

I hear the music coming out of your radio

I only know i love you i couldn't say why
So if theres another i don't want to know
If you should go i would surely die

You would never leave me hurt me or deceive me
I'm a fool to doubt you worry so about you
Love requires faith i've got a lot of faith but

I hear the music coming out of the radio

Hmmn yeah, i hear the music , coming out of your radio
The sweet sweet music
And your there with another girl
I hear the music
I don't wanna know

Had a band once
Bass and drums
I sang and played piano
Craig played guitar
Always knew the tunes
Had the records made tapes
Kept dates
Never fell over once

Once when we were in the car
Listening back smiling
We felt surrounded by stars

Hey craig do you still wear your guitar
Hanging down about your knees
Do you still throw up your window
To let out the old year

I remember once someone letting off fireworks
You out your window
Wondering where the war was
Bought a jacket scrolled
With rock and roll i never wore
You took it everywhere
Moved your sister's stuff in a van
Your mum drove us home again

Hey craig the kids are growing up
You can be young again
Hey craig let's say "the shields is gallus"
One more time again
Hey craig we'll stop the car now
And check the trees again
Hey craig we'll do what we did badly
And do it bad again
Bad again
And i'll come back again
Bad again
And i'll come back again

Put this on an old tape
Lush were still bleeding through
Thought you'd understand that
It should have happened on this tape too

The river is wide
The river is wide
The river is as broad and white as satan's smile
The soul of man can never hide
The river is wide
The river is wide

The river is calm
The river is calm
The river's as safe as a babe asleep in a mamma's arms
The soul of man needs a soothing balm
The river is calm
The river is calm

The day is long
The day is long
The day's own light is faint and wan
I'm as weak as i am strong
The river is wide
The day is long

What do you get when you fall in love
A girl with a pin to burst your bubble
Thats what you get for all your trouble
I'll never fall in love again

What do you get when you kiss a girl
You get enough germs to catch pneumonia
After you do she'll never phone you
I'll never fall in love again

Don't tell me what its all about
Cause i've been there and i'm glad i'm out
Out of those chains,those chains that bind you
That is why i'm here to remind you

What do you get when you fall in love
Nothing but pain, lies and sorrow
So for at least until tomorrow
I'll never fall in love again

What do you get when you fall in love
What do you get when you fall in love
I'll never fall in love
What do you get when you fall in love
I'll never fall in love
What do you get when you fall in love
I'll never fall in love
What do you get when you fall in love
I'll never fall in love

The look of love
Is in your eye
The look your smile can't disguise

The look of love
Is saying so much more
Than just words could ever say

And what my heart has heard
Well it , takes my breath away

I can hardly wait to hold you
Feel my arms around you
How long i have waited
Waited just to love you
Now that i have found you

You've got the look of love
Upon your face
The look that time can't erase

Your mine tonight
Could this be just the start of
So many nights like this
Lets take a lovers vow and then
Seal it with a kiss

I can hardly wait to hold you
Feel my arms around you
How long i have waited
Waited just to love you
Now that i have found you
You've got that look

I can hardly wait to hold you
Feel my arms around you
How long i have waited
Waited just to love you
Now that i have found you

Don't ever go
Don't ever go
Don't ever go
Don't ever go

Baby don't go
Baby don't go
Don't ever go
I love you

Baby please don't go

By the light of the waning moon
Under a blueblack sky
They talked the slow way home
Of years passed closely by
They caught only a casual look
From strangers with things to do
Only a loveless heart
Could feel anything less than sure

That they`re still in the mood
Still in the mood
After the time has passed
They were still in the mood

You`d take the chimes of midnight
To be the drum of your heart`s desire
And you`d change all you`re golden rings
For one time on the wheel of fire
So take off your shabby coat
Let all the leaves fall down
Leave this stuff till morning
And then come gently round

To be still in the mood
Still in the mood
When the sun has come up
We`ll be still in the mood

We`re still in the mood
Still in the mood
After the time has passed
We are still in the mood

Under the braw city night
And under the warm summer light
The evening begins
The day's been lightened with song
As glad as the winter is long
And so we begin

As far as the stars are from here
We'll travel together my dear
Wherever lovers may go
We'll step out into the good night

And into the farthest of hopes
And tied by the lightest of ropes
We'll sail away
And pulled by the sounds of the waves
And stories of heavenly places
We'll go on our way

As far as the stars are from here
We'll travel together my dear
Wherever lovers may go
We'll step out into the good night

I never even played you this song
Don't know that it might be wrong
You might never say
So let's do what lovers will do
Step out in the gathering rooms
And give love away

As far as the stars are from here
We'll travel together my dear
Wherever lovers may go
We'll step out into the good night

The garden of eden
The ancient of days
The wild dreams that wake us
The life before death
The mocking red sun
The night that will come

In my darkness and solitude
Everything will come and i'll know it's true
I'll hear on the wind
I'll hear on the wind

I'll listen in silence
For the things to believe in
For the blue black night cat
And his prey that's a hiding
For the new born baby
Who's life will be struggle

In my life i've tried to keep
The turning world from touching me
But i hear on the wind
I hear on the wind

I hear on the wind such terrible things
About the earth that is savaged and scalded and changed
And where the splinter moon shines on the darkening sea
Where the southern sailors sail to be free
And i never did see i only believe
What i hear on the wind i hear on the wind

Walk the hill, slowly down
Get all of saturday's news
From the back of the grampian end
All fife's kingdom is in view

The pitch it looks like blackpool
Sound and light and tangerine
When andy dickson's treatment time comes
The dens reserve game can be seen

And i'm proud to be an arab
Proud of my home team
And i'm proud to be an arab
Old times...and new

The half-time scores make a rusty rising
The crowd are glad of the news
Warmed by the bovril and the scoreline
The old firm 1, dundee 2

And i'm proud to be an arab
Proud of my home team
Yes i'm proud to be an arab
Old times...and new

Here's a cry for every lie you tried but didn't know i saw
And a sigh for every poor man,and woman and child that you ignore
Here's some wounded sailors from fighting your war overseas
Good god almighty its pulling me down on my knees

But if you don't know where you hurt
Where you wound and you bite and you burn
Then you don't understand

Now i'm the man who crumbled five years into your plan
And i'm dreaming of days when my hands and face were oily and blackened
Finnieston's howling ghost ships are all i can see
But now i shiver and shift and i'm worried
So i drift -'cause i know that i'm beaten

But if you think we don't know that you know
Each time we tumble under your blows
Then you don't understand

Its goodbye tonight ,i'm catching the ten o'clock train
Its leaving central station and pulling out of this wind and this terminal rain

So its bye bye, glasgow
Bye bye baby goodbye
Ooh be lah , we na na
There's only so long you can try

There are waves and waves of sorrow still to come
And you'll watch and wait and lie beneath each one
When the last things gone and broken you'll never even know
But another place will open and you'll begin again

No sorrows like sorrow and pain
Just gifts of love baby
No sorrows like sorrow and pain
Just gifts of love baby

And in your waving sorrow and in your drowning pain
Caught in the seconds glimpse the will to love again
When the last things gone broken you'll never even know
But another place will open and you'll begin again

No sorrows like sorrow and pain
Just gifts of love baby
No sorrows like sorrow and pain
Just gifts of love baby

No sorrows like sorrow and pain
Just gifts of love

There are waves and waves of sorrow still to come
And you'll watch and wait and lie beneath each one
There are waves and waves of sorrow still to come
