Paradise

One step that takes you closer to heaven
One road that stretches out ahead
One word that drives you to the point of decision
One wave that closes on a drowning man
One man who never knew the meaning of resistance
So now the turning tide will take another prayer to paradise
Tonight, a mist is rolling with the river
Tonight, the rain is coming down
Tonight, you reach out to the point of decision
One wave that closes on a drowning man
A man who never knew the meaning of resistance
And now the turning tide will take another prayer
And where it falls, nobody knows
Oh, paradise, oh paradise, oh paradise, oh paradise
One step that takes you closer to heaven
This wave that closes on a drowning man
A man who never knew the meaning of forever
So now the turning tide will take another prayer
And where it falls, nobody goes
To paradise, oh paradise, oh paradise, one prayer
To paradise, one prayer to paradise, oh paradise, oh paradise

No Promises

a winter palace
from the arabian nights
white waves on an ocean
gems from a golden age

life in your new world
turning round and round
making some sense
where there's no sense at all

no promises
but if you should fall

stars die in the silence
of arabian nights
wind washes the seasons
in these days of a golden age

life in your new world
turning round and round
making some sense
where there's no sense at all

no promises
but if you should fall

I could give you more
than just the shape of things
break every word
begin it all again
your name on a white sheet
pure lace shot with passion
but as love lies
bleeding in your hands

heaven sends you
no promises
of arabian nights
no white waves on an ocean
no gems from a golden age

life in your new world
turning round and round
so make some sense
where there's no sense at all

I give you
no promises
but if you should fall

no promises
but if you should fall
you fall

no promises
but if you should fall

no promises
but if you should fall
you fall

life in your new world
as it turns round and round

no promises
but if you should fall

Mr. Big

when he's dancin', baby
knows just how to move

when he's in a jam
he knows just what to do

he's talking', baby
knows just what to say

think what you want
he don't care anyway

but...
something is missing
Mr. Big
something is missing
Mr. Big

you can see him, yeah
he's always on the town

and he's dressed to kill
he always looks so fine

when he wants to walk
he'll walk all over you

but...
something is missing
Mr. Big
so what's the problem
Mr. Big
don't look so happy
Mr. Big
something is missing
Mr. Big

when he's dancin', baby
knows just how to move

when he's in a jam
he knows just what to do

when he wants to walk
he'll walk all over you

he don't do the things
that little people do

but...
something is missing
Mr. Big
so what's the problem
Mr. Big
don't look so happy
Mr. Big
something is missing
Mr. Big

Angel Street

she draws the curtain wide
and brushes back her hair
she stands before the mirror
wondering what to wear

but she knows no one will care
so easy to forget
just another sad affair
the girl on angel street

so she waits for the call
knowing only too well

a photograph a dusty window
where the sun strays in
everywhere the sounds of morning
as the day begins
people waiting at the station
do they go nowhere
two lines that stretch out in the distance
turn and disappear

but she knows no one will care
so easy to forget
just another sad affair
with the girl on angel street

so she waits for the call
and she waits for so long
knowing only too well
she tells herself there must be more
toujour l'amour l'amour

but she knows no one will care
so easy to forget
just another sad affair
with the girl on angel street

so easy to forget
the girl on angel street
she knows no one will care
so easy to forget
just another sad affair
the girl on angel street
she knows no one will care
so easy to forget
just another sad affair
with the girl on angel street
so easy to forget
with the girl on angel street
so easy to forget
just another sad affair
with the girl on angel street
so easy to forget
just another sad affair
the girl on angel street

The Flame

On the edge of the city
in the dust of the daylight
there's a place
where the truth cannot hide

There's no hell and no heaven
no sense in believing
all you have is your hope
and your pride

Rusting iron, bricks and paper
hold each other for shelter
so you sleep
and you call it home

You may just hear
the sound of the calm
before the storm

In my heart of the country
far away from the town
working day after day
in the factories and mines

And your name is a number
and your colour is black
it's the colour of midnight
and coal

Well, the young men are restless
and the old men are tired
always working for nothing
and being alone

You can feel the heat of the calm
before the storm

Chorus:
Well, you can move a mountain
and shut out the sky
You can put out the fire
but the flame won't die

Ohhhh...

As the smoke settles slowly
and the crowd clears away
the shouting is over
they have nothing to say

Nineteen voices of silence
lying dead in the street
nineteen voices are still now
ten thousand will fight

And you might know the voice of the calm
before the storm

(chorus x2)

Regular Boys

we live in a little kingdom
we live in the big bad world
we're just the thing
the regular boys

and we're one in a million
and we like the way we are

this is not a beautiful party
this is just the big bad world
the next big thing
the regular boys

and we're one in a million
and we like the way we are

boys
boys
boys

ooh shoulder to shoulder
ooh gotta stick together

I got the girl if I can get the money
could fall in love with a regular girl
that's no big deal for a regular boy

and we're one in a million
and we like the way we are

that's no big deal for a regular boy

and we're one in a million
and we like the way we are

we live in this animal kingdom
we live in the big bad world
but who wants to know
the regular boys

boys
boys
boys

Cross the Border

so dangerous
like freedom she fades away
the vision that chains the heart
foundations that fall apart

well, I know this place

(east, west
points to the nation
north, south
cut the connection)

stealer
steal her
we cross the border
steal love
still life
we cross the border

and time builds the wall
the wall that is standing still
and she breaks the spell
the spell that may hold us all
you build stone by stone
the line that will last for so long
but for those who dare
her secret is safe with no one

well, I know this place

(east, west
points to the nation
north, south
cut the connection)

stealer
steal her
we cross the border
steal love
still life
we cross the border

(east, west
points to the nation
north, south
lines of persuasion break
(east, west
points to the nation
north, south
cut the connection... break)

Spanish Gold

Just we two people
in this perfect place
just you and me
and all this time to waste

Oh, through the long nights
we could watch the waves
wake up the sun
to see the dawn of day

Chorus:
We sail away, sail away, sail away,
searching for
Spanish Gold
we sail the seas, seven seas, seven seas,
sail across
endless skies
oh, come on now, come on now, come on now,
I give you precious days,
so stay with me, stay with me, sail away,
I give you Spanish Gold,

that shines for you,
burning in the sun

Hey, all the world
will never find us here
drifting forever,
for a thousand years

To see the ocean
and the open sky
to see a smile
light up those sad dark eyes

(chorus)

that shines for you,
burning in the sun
that shines for you,
burning in the sun

To see the ocean
and the open sky
to see a smile
light up those sad dark eyes

(chorus)

Lucky Me

heey
she raves and
she's talking
she's a dirty girl
and she's disgusted
some people are
not so lucky
oo oo
lucky me

a red light
on Notre Dame
I don't drink a
osh osh champagne
some people are
not so lucky
oo oo
lucky me

well they stare from the windows
and they lean on the buttons
as the cars die crashing in the street

I feel like
Attila the Hun
I feel like
Nagasaki
some people are
not so lucky
oo oo
lucky me

i feel like a
a president
I've given up (given up)
given up on you
some people are
not so lucky
oo oo
lucky me

well they stare from the windows
and they lean on the buttons
as the cars die crashing in the street
need to talk to somebody
need to talk to someone
I could fall in love with
that girl

I feel like a
slow dive
mmm
oo oo
lucky me
I feel like
dirty girl
lucky me
mmm
oo oo
lucky me

heading my way... a real kick
a few drops on the windows
a tear in your dress
and seeing the scars as
a matter of fact
how to walk
in the house of flowers
and the dance goes on, it's the
last thing
I wear these scenes, talk to someone
talk to somebody
someone
somebody
someone (talk to somebody... someone)

hey
well, they stare from the windows
and they lean on the buttons
as the cars die crashing in the street
need to talk to somebody
need to talk to someone
I could fall in love with
that girl

well they stare from the windows
and they lean on the buttons
as the cars die crashing in the street
need to talk to somebody
need to talk to someone
I could fall in love without
that girl

I feel like a
slow dive
lucky me
oh
oo oo
lucky me
I feel like a
dirty girl
oo oo
oh, I'm dying
