1. The Lazarus Heart4:35

   Letra

   He looked beneath his shirt today There was a wound in his flesh so deep and wide From the wound a lovely flower grew From somewhere deep inside He turned around to face his mother To show her the wound in his breast that burned like a brand But the sword that cut him open Was the sword in his mother's hand Every day another miracle Only death will tear us apart To sacrifice a life for yours I'd be the blood of the lazarus heart The blood of the lazarus heart Though the sword was his protection The wound itself would give him power The power to remake himself At the time of his darkest hour She said the wound would give him courage and pain The kind of pain that you can't hide From the wound a lovely flower grew From somewhere deep inside Every day another miracle Only death will keep us apart To sacrifice a life for yours I'd be the blood of the lazarus heart The blood of the lazarus heart Birds on the roof of my mother's house I've no stones that chase them away Birds on the roof of my mother's house Will sit on my roof someday They fly at the window, they fly at the door Where does she get the strength to fight them anymore She counts all her children as a shield against the rain Lifts her eyes to the sky like a flower to the rain Every day another miracle Only death will keep us apart To sacrifice a life for yours I'd be the blood of the lazarus heart The blood of the lazarus heart
2. Be Still My Beating Heart5:34

   Letra

   Be still my beating heart it would be better to be cool it's not time to be open just yet a lesson once learned is so hard to forget be still my beating heart or i'll be taken for a fool it's not healthy to run at this pace the blood runs so red to my face i've been to every single book i know to soothe the thoughts that plague me so I sink like a stone that's been thrown in the ocean my logic has drowned in a sea of emotion stop before you start be still my beating heart Be still my beating heart you must learn to stand your ground it's not healthy to run at this pace the blood runs so red to my face i've been to every single book i know to soothe the thoughts that plague me so stop before you start be still my beating heart Never to be wrong never to make promises that break it's like singing in the wind or writing on the surface of a lake and i wriggle like a fish caught on dry land struggle to avoid any help at hand I sink like a stone that's been thrown in the ocean my logic has drowned in a sea of emotion stop before you start be still my beating heart
3. Englishman In New York4:27
   Vídeo Letra

   

   I don't drink coffee I take tea, my dear. I like my toast done on one side. And you can hear it in my accent when I talk, I'm an Englishman in New York. You see me walking down Fifth Avenue, A walking cane here at my side. I take it everywhere I walk, I'm an Englishman in New York. Whoa. I'm an alien. I'm a legal alien. I'm an Englishman in New York. Whoa. I'm an alien. I'm a legal alien. I'm an Englishman in New York. If "manners maketh man" as someone said, He's the hero of the day. It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile. Be yourself no matter what they say. Whoa. I'm an alien. I'm a legal alien. I'm an Englishman in New York. Whoa. I'm an alien. I'm a legal alien. I'm an Englishman in New York. Modesty, propriety can lead to notoriety, But you could end up as the only one. Gentleness, sobriety are so rare in this society. At night a candle's brighter than the sun. Takes more than combat gear to make a man. Takes more than a license for a gun. Confront your enemies, avoid them when you can. A gentleman will walk but never run. If "manners maketh man" as someone said, He's the hero of the day. It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile. Be yourself no matter what they say. Be yourself no matter what they say. Be yourself no matter what they say. Be yourself no matter what they say. Be yourself no matter what they say. Be yourself no matter what they say. Be yourself no matter what they say. Be yourself no matter what they say. Be yourself no matter what they say. Be yourself no matter what they say.
4. History Will Teach Us Nothing5:07

   Letra

   If we seek solace in the prisons of the distant past Security in human systems we're told will always always last Emotions are the sail and blind faith is the mast Without the breath of real freedom we're getting nowhere fast If god is dead and an actor plays his part His words of fear will find a place in your heart Without the voice of reason every faith is its own curse Without freedom from the past things can only get worse Sooner or later just like the world first day Sooner or later we learn to throw the past away Sooner or later just like the world first day Sooner or later we learn to throw the past away Sooner or later we learn to throw the past away History will teach us nothing History will teach us nothing Our written history is a catalogue of crime The sordid and the powerful, the architects of time The mother of invention, the oppression of the mild The constant fear of scarcity, aggression as its child Sooner or later Sooner or later Sooner or later Sooner or later Convince an enemy, convince him that he's wrong Is to win a bloodless battle where victory is long A simple act of faith In reason over might To blow up his children will only prove him right History will teach us nothing Sooner or later just like the world first day Sooner or later we learn to throw the past away Sooner or later just like the world first day Sooner or later we learn to throw the past away Sooner or later we learn to throw the past away History will teach us nothing History will teach us nothing Know your human rights Be what you come here for Know your human rights Be what you come here for Know your human rights Be what you come here for Know your human rights Be what you come here for

6. Fragile3:58
   Vídeo Letra

   

   If blood will flow when flesh and steel are one Drying in the colour of the evening sun Tomorrow's rain will wash the stains away But something in our minds will always stay Perhaps this final act was meant To clinch a lifetime's argument That nothing comes from violence And nothing ever could For all those born beneath an angry star Lest we forget how fragile we are On and on the rain will fall Like tears from a star Like tears from a star On and on the rain will say How fragile we are How fragile we are On and on the rain will fall Like tears from a star Like tears from a star On and on the rain will say How fragile we are How fragile we are How fragile we are How fragile we are
7. We'll Be Together4:53
8. Straight To My Heart3:54

   Letra

   Well in a hundred years from now They will attempt to tell us how A scientific means to bliss Will supercede the human kiss A sub atomic chain Will maybe galvanize the brain A biochemic trance Will eliminate romance But why ever should we care When there are arrows in the air Formed by lovers' ancient art That go straight to my heart A future sugar coated pill Would give our lovers time to kill I think they're working far too much For the redundancy of touch But what will make me yours Are a million deadly spores Formed by lovers' ancient art That go straight to my heart Come into my door Be the light of my life Come into my door You'll never have to sweep the floor Come into my door Be the light of my life Come into my door Come and be my wife I'll be true. to no one but you If it's a future world we fear We have tomorrow's seeds right here For you can hold them in your hand Or let them fall into the sand But if our love is pure The only thing of which we're sure Then you can play your part And go straight to my heart If i should seek immunity And love you with impunity Then the only thing to do Is for me to pledge myself to you But they only dealt one card So for me it is not hard You're the bright star in my chart You go straight to my heart Come into my door Be the light of my life Come into my door You'll never have to sweep the floor Come into my door Be the light of my life Come into my door Come and be my wife I'll be true. to no one but you
9. Rock Steady4:28

   Letra

   Saw an ad in the newspaper that caught my eye I said to my baby this sounds like the ticket for you and i It said volunteers wanted for a very special trip To commune with mother nature on a big wooden ship We took a taxi to the river in case any places were free There was an old guy with a beard And every kind of creature as far as the eye could see This old guy was the boss he said "i won't tell you no lie But there's more to this journey than is apparent to the eye" He said he'd heard god's message on the radio It was going to rain forever and he'd told him to go "i'll protect you all don't worry i'll be father to you all I'll save two of every animal, no matter how small But i'll need some assistants to look after the zoo I can't see nobody better so you'll just have to do" I said, "just tell me something before it's too late and we're gone I mean just how safe is this boat we'll be on?" "it's rock steady / rock steady Rock steady / rock steady Rock steady / rock steady Rock steady / rock steady" It rained for forty days and forty long nights I'd never seen rain like it and it looked like our old friend Was being proved right We had no time to worry though there was just too much to do Between the signified monkey and the kangaroo We had to wash all the animals we had to feed them too We were merely human slaves in a big floating zoo She said, "hey baby i don't mean to be flip But it seems this old man is on some power trip" I said, "no, no sugar you must be wrong I mean look at the size of this boat we're on. We're as safe as houses, as safe as mother's milk He's as cool as november and as smooth as china silk He's god's best friend, he's got a seat on the board And life may be tough but we're sailing with the lord." Rock steady / rock steady Rock steady / rock steady Rock steady / rock steady Rock steady / rock steady Woke up this morning and something had changed Like a room in my house had just been rearranged She said, "it's stopped raining and i know the guy's kind But if we stay here much longer i'm gonna lose my mind." So we said we had a mission for his favorite dove To see if there was any mercy from this great god above So to find dry land, away the white bird flew We didn't need no country just a rock would do When the dove came back to us he threw down a twig It was manna from heaven and meant we could blow this gig "but the rock's too small," he said, "can't you see?" I said, "it's just perfect for her, it's perfect for me." Rock steady / rock steady Rock steady / rock steady Rock steady / rock steady Rock steady / rock steady Rock steady / rock steady Rock steady / rock steady
10. Sister Moon3:57

    Letra

    Sister moon will be my guide In your blue blue shadows i would hide All good people asleep tonight I'm all by myself in your silver light I would gaze at your face the whole night through I'd go out of my mind but for you Lying in a mother's arms The primal root of a woman's charms I'm a stranger to the sun My eyes are too weak How cold is a heart When it's warmth that he seeks? You watch every night, you don't care what i do I'd go out of my mind, but for you I'd go out of my mind, but for you My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun My hunger for her explains everything i've done To howl at the moon the whole night through And they really don't care if i do I'd go out of my mind, but for you Sister moon
