Come To My AidVer letra 4:04

letra de Come To My Aid
Come to my aid, you're sweet as everything
Come to my aid, I'd give you anything
I feel so betrayed by a people I love
Come to my aid, it's you I'm thinking of

Prouder than wild, sad enough to sing
Come to my aid and care for social living

[Chorus:]
Why are we liable to die for survival
Why is our nation divided?
Come to my aid [repeat]

In the poverty stakes see just what it means
When welfare decimates you'd better care
About your fellow people

[Chorus:]
Why are we liable to die for survival
Why is our nation divided?
Come to my aid [repeat]

Come on board!

letra de Sad Old Red
I walk on stone, it leads me home
We don't have streets, just pure concrete
I'm not glad when I get home
I'm sad old red, I don't wanna be alone

I go whiter in the face, my feet begin to shake
I go upstairs to that heavenly place
I'm not glad when I get home
I'm sad old red, I don't wanna be alone

[Chorus:]
Sad old red, sat at home
Sad old red, living on his own
Sad old red, sat at home
Sad old red, let me take you home

It's a cubic room, two holes peep through
Shadows on the wall of trees so tall
I think of her again, the joy she used to bring
Lay there in bed, two words she said
She said "oh red" [repeat]

Sad old red, that's what I am
All the time, every night
Sad old red
Look At You NowVer letra 3:02

letra de Look At You Now
Right from the start you tried to hurt me
But look at you now, behaving like a fool
A long time ago you treated me so mean but

[Chorus:]
Look at you now
Look at you now

You threw me away like litter in the gutter
I had to pick myself up and find something better

[Chorus:]
Look at you now
Look at you now

I looked so hard, I'm looking hard now
Looking at your head

Don't talk about birthdays, that don't mean a thing to me
Don't throw it in my face, it's too sweet to sting

[Chorus:]
Look at you now
Look at you now

I kept on looking hard [repeat]
Looking at your head. Head!!!
Músicos invitados: Francis Foster (Congas)
HeavenVer letra 4:33

[X]
letra de Heaven
Ev'ryone is trying to get to the bar
The name of the bar
The bar is called heaven
The band in heaven
They play my fav'rite song
They play it once again
They play it all night long

[Chorus:]
Heaven
Heaven is a place
A place where nothing
Nothing ever happens
Heaven
Heaven is a place
A place where nothing
Nothing ever happens

There is a party, everyone is there
Everyone will leave at exactly the same time
It's hard to imagine that nothing at all
Could be so exciting, could be so much fun

[Chorus:]
Heaven
Heaven is a place
A place where nothing
Nothing ever happens
Heaven
Heaven is a place
A place where nothing
Nothing ever happens

When this kiss is over it will start again
It will not be any different, it will be exactly the same
It's hard to imagine that nothing at all
Could be so exciting, could be so much fun

[Chorus:]
Heaven
Heaven is a place
A place where nothing
Nothing ever happens

letra de Jericho
Listen boy, I'll tell you a thing
I'll make you a career in the business I'm in
I'll make you rich, I'll make you a toy
I'll make you turn over into my little boy
Y'see I'm going somewhere
I don't know what I'm gonna do when I get there
I know money's a thing - your only inspiration
And your only meaning
You must think that all I do
Is spend my time making pretty pictures of you
You can fall when I will climb
But I'll be falling over just by having you in my mind

[1st chorus]
Mend that fight - oh listen to them
Kickin' up a ball inside a jericho wall
Mend that fight - it's all twisted through them
If you ain't rich then you won't go to the ball

Having mercy and licking up love
And moving through your ocean like I've never had enough
Y'see you ain't all I want
You're everything and more that I have ever hoped for
You must think that all I do
Is spend my time making pretty pictures of you
You can fall when I will climb
But I'll be falling over just by having you in my mind

[1st chorus]
Mend that fight - oh listen to them
Kickin' up a ball inside a jericho wall
Mend that fight - it's all twisted through them
I'm rich, you ain't, so you won't go to the ball

[2nd chorus]
You won't go to the ball
You won't go to the ball
You won't go, you won't go
You won't go to the ball
[repeat]

You must think that all I do
Is spend my time making pretty pictures of you
You can fall when I will climb
But I'll be falling over just by having you in my mind

[1st chorus]
Mend that fight - oh listen to them
Kickin' up a ball outside a no. 10 wall
Mend that fight - it's all twisted through them
I'm rich, you ain't, so you won't go to the ball
No more!

[2nd chorus]
You won't go to the ball
You won't go to the ball
You won't go, you won't go
You won't go to the ball
[repeat]

[Outro:]
Yeah, if you ain't got nothing
You'll never go there
[repeat]
I tried to make you see
I tell you I'd had enough
Money was a thing, money was a thing
Money was a thing that I believed in
[repeat]
Money's Too Tight To Mention 4:14

Holding Back The YearsVer letra 4:28

[X]
letra de Holding Back The Years
Holding back the years

Thinking of the fear I've had so long

When somebody hears

Listen to the fear that's gone

Strangled by the wishes of pater

Hoping for the arms of mater

Get to me the sooner or later

I'll keep holding on

I'll keep holding on

Holding back the years

Chance for me to escape from all I've known

Holding back the tears

Cause nothing here has grown

I've wasted all my tears

Wasted all those years

And nothing had the chance to be good

Nothing ever could yeah, oh

I'll keep holding on

I'll keep holding on

I'll keep holding on

I'll keep holding on

So tight

I've wasted all my tears

Wasted all of those years

And nothing had the chance to be good

Cause nothing ever could, oh, yeah

Oh...

I'll keep holding on

I'll keep holding on

I'll keep holding on

I'll keep holding on

Holding, holding, holding

That's all I have today

It's all I have to say

No DirectionVer letra 3:40

[X]
letra de No Direction
Singing hymns on roads and pavements
Hungry jims, no-one saves them
Walkin' north, talkin' south
With firm intention
And I don't know what I'm talking about
It's firm intention

[Chorus:]
In this dreary life, with no direction
What this cause says about my life
And no direction. No direction!!!

To enter a place like an alien
To leave a place like an alien
What's this calling? What's this calling?
Firm intention
Better feel it, better believe it
Firm intention

[Chorus:]
In this dreary life, with no direction
What this cause says about my life
And no direction. No direction!!!

Watch that feeling, watch that feeling
Or I'll grab it, or I'll grab it
Watch that feeling, watch that feeling
Or I'll grab it, or I'll grab it

[Chorus:]
In this dreary life, with no direction
What this cause says about my life
And no direction.

No direction!!!

letra de Picture Book
Many types came to see the picture
Many types came to see the picture
Only he had the right to come
Only he is long gone

Will or win or wicked it's written in it
[repeat]

Quivering in mutual aggression
Women sing remembering affection
Only he had the right to come
Only he is long gone

Will or win or wicked it's written in it
[repeat]

[Chorus:]
Here by the side of the book
(we beseech thee, we beseech thee)
Here by the side of piero's spirit
