- Next to You2:30
- Englishman in New York4:23I 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.
- Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic4:58
- I Hung My Head5:32
Letra
Early one morning with time to kill I borrowed jeb's rifle and sat on the hill I saw a lone rider crossing the plain I drew a bread on him to practice my aim My brother's rifle went off in my hand A shot rang out across the land The horse he kept running the rider was dead I hung my head i hung my head I set off running to wake from the dream My brother's rifle went into the stream I kept on running into the salt lands And that's where they found me, my head in my hands The sheriff he asked me "why had i run" Then it came to me just what i had done And all for no reason, just one piece of lead I hung my head, i hung my head Here in the courthouse, the whole town is there I see the judge high up in his chair "explain to the courtroom what went through your mind And we'll ask the jury what verdict they find" I said "i felt the power of death over life I orphaned his children i widowed his wife I beg their forgiveness i wish i was dead" I hung my head, i hung my head Early one morning with time to kill I see the gallows up on the hill And out in the distance a trick of the brain I see a lone rider crossing the plain He's come to fetch me to see what they done We'll ride together til kingdom come I pray for god's mercy for soon i'll be dead I hung my head, i hung my head - You Will Be My Ain True Love3:44

- When We Dance5:27If he loved you like i love you i would walk away in shame i'd move town, i'd change my name When he watches you when he comes to buy your soul on your hand his golden rings like he owns the bird that sings When we dance angels will run and hide their wings The priest has said my soul salvation is in the balance of the angels and underneath the wheels of passion i keep my faith in my fashion When we dance angels will run and hide their wings (oooh) i'm still in love with you Chorus when we dance angels will run and hide their wings i'm gonna love you more than life if you'll only be my wife i'm gonna love you night and day i'm gonna try in every way when we dance angels will run and hide their wings i'm gonna find a place to live give you all i've got to give i would love you more than life if you'll only be my wife If i could break down these walls and shout my name at heaven's gate i'd take these hands and i'd destroy the dark machineries of fate, cathedrals are broken heaven's no longer above hellfire's a promise away i'd still be saying i'm still in love still in love still in love still in love... He won't love you like i love you he won't care for you this way he'll mistreat you with disdain Come and live with me we'll have children of our own i would love you more than life if you'll come and be my wife Chorus when we dance angels will run and hide their wings i'm gonna love you more than life if you'll only be my wife i'm gonna love you night and day i'm gonna try in every way when we dance angels will run and hide their wings i'm gonna find a place to live give you all i've got to give i would love you more than life if you'll only be my wife [etc...] When we dance... I had a dream last night dreamt you were by my side walking with me baby my heart was filled with pride i had a dream last night [fade...]
- The End of the Game6:09
- I Burn for You4:05
Letra
Now that i have found you In the coolth of your evening smile The shade of your parasol And your love flows through me Though i drink at your pool I burn for you i burn for You and i are lovers When night time folds around our bed In peace we sleep entwined And your love flows through me Though an ocean soothes my head I burn for you i burn for Stars will fall from dark skies As ancient rocks are turning Quiet fills the room And your love flows through me Though i lie here so still I burn for you, i burn for you I burn... - We Work the Black Seam7:19
Letra
This place has changed for good Your economic theory said it would It's hard for us to understand We can't give up our jobs the way we should Our blood has stained the coal We tunneled deep inside the nations soul We matter more than pounds and pence Your economic theory makes no sense One day in a nuclear age They may understand our rage They build machines that they can't control And bury the waste in a great big hole Power was to become cheap and clean Grimey faces were never seen But deadly for twelve thousand years is carbon fourteen We work the black seam together The seam is underground Three million years of pressure packed it down We walk through ancient forest lands And light a thousand cities with our hands Your dark satanic mills Have made redundant all our mining skills You can't exchange a six inch band For all the poisoned steams in cumberland Chorus We work the black seam together Our conscious lives run deep You cling onto your mountain while we sleep This way of life is part of me There is no price so only let me be And should the children weep The turning world will sing their souls to sleep When you have sunk without a trace The universe will suck me into place Chorus We work the black seam together - She´s Too Good for Me3:03
- The Pirate´s Bride5:07
