 We might be starting collecting some lyrics trivia, like, what is Van Heusen from Two Tribes? Who is the hooded claw in the Power of Love? And the like...

War (Hidden)

(Strong/Whitfield)
 
Oh no-there's got to be a better way
Say it again
There's got to be a better way-yeah
What is it good for?
 
*War has caused unrest 
 
Among the younger generation
Induction then destruction
Who wants to die?
 
War-huh
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing
Say it again
 
War-huh
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing
Yeah
 
War-I despise
'Cos it means destruction 
 
Of innocent lives
War means tears
To thousands of mothers how
When their sons go off to fight
And lose their lives
 
I said
War-huh
 
It's an enemy of all mankind
No point of war
'Cos you're a man
 
*(Repeat)
 
Give it to me one time-now
Give it to me one time-now
 
War has shattered
Many young men's dreams
We've got no place for it today
They say we must fight to keep our freedom
But Lord, there's just got to be a better way
 
It ain't nothing but a heartbreaker
War
Friend only to the undertaker
War
 
War
War-Good God, now
 
Now
Give it to me one time now
Now now
What is it good for?

Two Tribes (Annihilation)

(Gill/Johnson/O'Toole)
 
Ladies and gentlemen, let me present
FRANKIE GOES TO HOLLYWOOD
Possibly the most important thing
This side of the world.
 
Oh yeah, well ard!
 
You may pronounce us guilty a thousand times over, but the Goddess of the
Eternal Court of History will smile and tear to tatters the brief of the
state prosecutor and the sentence of this court, for She acquits us
 
Let's go
 
*When two tribes go to war
A point is all you can score
When two tribes go to war
A point is all you can score
 
Cowboy No. 1
A born-again poor man's son
On the air America
I modelled shirts by Van Heusen-yeah
 
You know
 
*(Repeat)
 
Working on the black gas
 
Switch off your shield
Switch off and feel
I'm working on loving-yeah
Giving you back the good times
Ship it out-out
I'm working for the black gas
 
*(Repeat)
 
We got two tribes
We got the bomb
We got the bomb-yeah
Sock it to me biscuits-now
 
Are we living in a land
Where sex and horror are the new Gods?
Yeah
 
When two tribes go to war
A point is all you can score
 


The Power of Love

(Gill/Johnson/Nash/O'Toole)
 
I'll protect you from the hooded claw
Keep the vampires from your door
 
Feels like fire
I'm so in love with you
Dreams are like angels
They keep bad at bay-bad at bay
Love is the light
Scaring darkness away-yeah
 
I'm so in love with you
Purge the soul
Make love your goal
 
*The power of love
A force from above
Cleaning my soul
Flame on burn desire
Love with tongues of fire
Purge the soul
Make love your goal
 
I'll protect you from the hooded claw
Keep the vampires from your door
When the chips are down I'll be around
With my undying, death-defying
Love for you
 
Envy will hurt itself
Let yourself be beautiful
Sparkling love, flowers
And pearls and pretty girls
Love is like an energy
Rushin' rushin' inside of me
 
*(Repeat)
 
This time we go sublime
Lovers entwine-divine divine
Love is danger, love is pleasure
Love is pure-the only treasure
 
I'm so in love with you
Purge the soul
Make love your goal
 
The power of love
A force from above
Cleaning my soul
The power of love
A force from above
A sky-scraping dove
 
Flame on burn desire
Love with tongues of fire
Purge the soul
Make love your goal
 
I'll protect you from the hooded claw
Keep the vampires from your door
 
 


Born to run

(Springsteen)

In the day we sweat it out in the streets of a runaway American dream
At night we ride through mansions of glory in suicide machines
Sprung from cages out on highway 9,
Chrome wheeled, fuel injected and steppin' out over the line
Baby this town rips the bones from your back
It's a death trap, it's a suicide rap
We gotta get out while we're young
`Cause tramps like us, baby we were born to run

Wendy let me in I wanna be your friend
I want to guard your dreams and visions
Just wrap your legs round these velvet rims
and strap your hands across my engines
Together we could break this trap
We'll run till we drop, baby we'll never go back
Will you walk with me out on the wire
`Cause baby I'm just a scared and lonely rider
But I gotta find out how it feels
I want to know if love is wild, girl I want to know if love is real

Beyond the Palace hemi-powered drones scream down the boulevard
The girls comb their hair in rearview mirrors
And the boys try to look so hard
The amusement park rises bold and stark
Kids are huddled on the beach in a mist
I wanna die with you Wendy on the streets tonight
In an everlasting kiss

The highway's jammed with broken heroes on a last chance power drive
Everybody's out on the run tonight but there's no place left to hide
Together Wendy we'll live with the sadness
I'll love you with all the madness in my soul
Someday girl I don't know when we're gonna get to that place
Where we really want to go and we'll walk in the sun
But till then tramps like us baby we were born to run


Rage Hard

(Gill/Johnson/Nash/O'Toole)

Rage! Rage! Rage! Rage!

Rage Hard!

Laugh like the head of Apollo
Young and strong on the wings of tomorrow
Rise up in millions get off your knees
Dispelling the demons
In the valley of danger
We all work together, sculptures in sorrow
With love light to follow, on
Sweet head of Apollo

Rage hard, into the light
Rage hard, doing it right, doing it right
Rage Hard, against the dark
Rage Hard, make your mark
Let the tournament begin
Don't give up and don't give in
Strength to rise up, strength to win
Strength to save the wor(l)d from losing

Rage Hard, into the light
Rage Hard, doing it right
Rage Hard, against the dark
Rage Hard

Rage!

Rage Hard

Though blue eyes of children
They shine without fear
Hope is the future, with oceans of cheer
Nothing to fear
There's nothing to fear
Though laghter of angels resounding
From heaven keep fighting the favours
Of charlatan saviours, charlatan saviours

Rage hard, into the light
Rage hard, doing it right, doing it right
Rage Hard, against the dark
Rage Hard, make your mark
Let the tournament begin
Don't give up and don't give in
Rage hard, into the light
Rage hard, doing it right
Rage Hard, against the dark
Rage Hard, make your mark

I don't know which way to go
My love's like driven snow
When we past the test of time
My love you shall be mine
And if only, lost and lonely
Is all that's wrong with me, we' ll be free
Be free, be free

Laugh like the head of apollo
Young and strong on the wings of tomorrow
Rage Hard
Rage Hard
Let the tournament begin
Don't give up and don't give in

Rage Hard, into the light
Rage Hard, doing it right
Let the tournament begin
Don't give up and don't give in
Strength to rise up, strength to win
Strength to save the wor(l)d from losing


Watching the Wildlife

(Gill/Johnson/Nash/O'Toole)

Watching the wildlife
On my way home, the state of Rome
People gliding on the floor
Pleased with life not needing more
Sunset on the river
People go home in the rain
Familiar faces on the train
Running scared, and staying sane

If you live by the sword
Well that's your own reward
So don't walk with me
Watching the wildlife
The beast within you
Eats your heart out
Get free from hate and get in love

Boys in the backyard
The girls are hanging out the lines
Washing the day, wash your troubles away
It's game we have to play
Ghosts are chasing you round
Things that happen in the past
Don't make that mistake again
The sun beats down the streets of passion

If you live by the sword
Well that's your own reward
So don't talk with me
Watching the wildlife
The beast within you
Eats your heart out
Get free from hate and get in love

Your own worst enemy
Get free from hate and get in love

If you live by the sword
Watching the wildlife
Watching you
The beast within you too
Watching the wildlife

Get in love, get in love

Watching the wildlife
We all live in a dream in home
We watch TV and drive a car
We go outside, but not too far
Watching the wildlife
We walk the water like a sun
Living cuts you like a knife
Living here watching the Wildlife

Get in love, get in love


Warriors of the Wasteland

(Gill/Johnson/Nash/O'Toole)

From diamond mine to the factory
Everybody's doing what you've got to keep on doing for society
Make this world a good place to be
Let livin' be but don't work for free
Playing isn't paying so worx is what I'm saying
Working for the world go round
The battle cry don't mess with me
I've travelled the world for eternity

Warriors of the wasteland
Sailboats of ice on desert sands
Warriors of the wasteland

It seems to be that the powers that be
Keep themselves in splendour and security
Amoured cars for megastars
No streets, no bars, yours wealth is ours
They make the masses, kiss their asse(t)s
Lower class jackass, pay me tax take out the trash
Working for the world go round
Your job is gold, do as you're told
the pay you less the run for congress

Warriors of the wasteland
Sailboats of ice on desert sands
Warriors of the wasteland
I'm working for the world go round, go round

Diamond mind to the factory, yeah
Make this a world, a good place to be

Warriors what a waste, man

WARRIORS

WE'RE RATS IN A CAGE

SUICIDE A GO GO

 


Lunar Bay

(Gill/Johnson/Nash/O'Toole)

Walk right through my soul, keep out the cold
Make me lose control, fill me with love
My mind is blasing and were escaping, the real world
Swing and sway on Lunar bay
On Lunar bay, yeah

Touch my very soul, makes me lose control
My dreams unfold, you fill me with love

Feel me walking in the sun
Hear me talking to the moon
I won't change for anyone
I'm just for you

Touch my very soul, makes me lose control
My dreams unfold, fill me with love
The train of faces are going places, get on board
Swing and sway on Lunar bay
On Lunar bay , yeah

Swing and sway, swing and sway

Feel me walking in the sun
Hear me talking to the moon
I won't change for anyone
I'm just for you
When the wind rushes in
To hemald the king
Just stay in my heart
forever more

Feel me walking in the sun
I won't change for anyone
When the wind rushes in
To hemald the king
Just stay in my heart
forever more

in the sun
I won't change for anyone

In the common age of automation, where people might
eventually work ten or twenty hours a week, Man for
the first time will be forced to confront himself with
the true spiritual problems of living

(Thanks to Patrick Bird for the final spoken part on this song) 


Kill the Pain

(Gill/Johnson/Nash/O'Toole)

This wasted land is gone now and
Swept away , swept away
Better not let the side down
Whirlwinds of time

We can build an ocean
of hope dispair to drown
Sail upon the waves a crasching
Devils to the ground
I'll follow you to fires of hell
And cast my soul in wishing wells
The colours of the sheddred sky
Hear the children sing

Kill the pain, we'll never be the same again
Once we have changed the nature of the game
of the game
Breaks the chains we can rise up again
Once we've rearranged the nature of the game
of the game

Don't you forget
What you give is what you get
Take love away there's nothing
Better not let the side down
So god on high has opened up the sky
up the sky

We can build an ocean
of hope despair to drown
Sail upon the waves a crashing
Devils to the ground
I'll follow you to fires of hell
And cast my soul in wishing wells
The colours of the sheddred sky
Hear the children sing

Kill the pain, we'll never be the same again
Once we have changed the nature of the game
of the game
Break the chaing we can rise up again
Once we've rearranged the nature of the game
of the game

We're all walking through the fire
Walking on the Nile
Let your spirit fly

This wasted land is gone now and
Swept away , swept away
Better not let the side down
Whirlwinds of time
Sing

We can build an ocean
of hope despair to drown
Sail upon the waves a crashing
Devils to the ground
The legend of this dying land
The earth is acorched by devil's hand
This place we love can live again
We rise up and sing

Kill the pain, we'll never be the same again
Once we have changed the nature of the game
of the game
Break the chaing we can rise up again
Once we've rearranged the nature of the game
of the game


Maximum Joy

(Gill/Johnson/Nash/O'Toole)

On glory day we'll get the gifts of heaven up above
All around you hope and joy, to find and fall in love

Can you feel that Maximum joy
Rolling round like a brand new boy
Rain and sunshine from heaven

Feeling the wonder, of sun ,rain and thunder
Unravelling life's mysteries, living to make history
Free at last...

Can you feel that Maximum joy
Rolling round like a brand new boy
Rain and sunshine from heaven

Can you feel that Maximum joy
Rolling round like a brand new boy
Rain and sunshine from heaven

Can you feel it...

Let dreamers dream and lovers leap
I pray for you our souls to keep free at last...

Can you feel that Maximum joy
Rolling round like a brand new boy
Rain and sunshine from heaven

Can you feel that Maximum joy
Rolling round like a brand new boy
Rain and sunshine from heaven

I will catch and keep you like a rainbow in my room
And tie you to a star that's rising, dancing on the moon, on the moon

Can you feel it...Maximum joy...Maximum joy


For Heaven's Sake

(Gill/Johnson/Nash/O'Toole)

Leave them behind, those clouds of trouble
We have to find a world that's new
Buy a new dress and go out dancing
Do all the things you wanna do
For heaven's sake, you have to break away
Unchain yourself, from the mood of today

We don't need agression
We don't need recession

Just give us some money
Our life could be sunny too

We don't need regression
Nor means of repression
Our life could be sunny too ,ooh

Our lives should be so full of laughter
With endless joy to follow after
Summer comes to girls and boys
Never too late, but to enjoy, to enjoy

Oh come on down from your ivory tower
Unlock the doors and give us flowers
We've wored for you now for too long
We've done what's right, you've done us wrong
For heaven's sake, we got to break away
Unchain yourself, from the mood of today

We don't need regression
Make your impression

Oooh, world is waiting
We need to go out dancing
Oooh, world is waiting
We need a new T.V.
Oooh, world is waiting
We don't need fear and fighting
Oooh, world is waiting
We don't need history

She should buy us all a drink
She should buy us all a drink
She should stop the pain, stop the pain
She should buy us all a drink

Yeah

We don't need recession
Nor means of repression

Just give us some money
Our life could be sunny too

Just give us some money
Our life could be sunny too, ooh

She should stop and think, stop and think, oooh

We don't need regression
Nor means of repression

Just give us some money
Our lives could be sunny too, ooh

 


Is Anybody Out There ?

(Gill/Johnson/Nash/O'Toole)

If I could change the things I've done
Would I be the only one
To with again if only I could take your pain away
And think of better, better things to say
The highest price I'd gladly pay
For you to live, just golden days, golden days, golden days
So celebrate the moment now, have all that you desire

We'll keep each other warm, together we'll weather the storm
The children are dying and nobody's crying
There's got to be something out there, someone who cares
Got to be something out there *

Give me real life, the worry and the strife
I'll throw it out of the window, to the dogs below
So come with me I'll guide you through wardrobes of fantasy
And treasure chests of what could be
A world without anxiety
A legacy of golden days, golden days, golden days
Leave it all behind the blind leading the blind
Have all that you desire

Gotta be, gotta be someone out there

Let's break the rules scattering the jewels
Of joy amongst ourselves
The lonely, lonely of the shelves
Feel good about yourself, I'll drink to your health
Have all that you desire

(REPEAT)*

 I'm looking for something, and I don't know what it is
