- Englishman In New York
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. - Every Breath You Take
Letra
Every breath you take Every move you make Every bond you break Every step you take I'll be watching you Every single day Every word you say Every game you play Every night you stay I'll be watching you Oh can't you see You belong to me How my poor heart aches with every step you take Every move you make Every vow you break Every smile you fake Every claim you stake I'll be watching you Since you've gone I've been lost without a trace I dream at night I can only see your face I look around but it's you I can't replace I feel so cold and I long for your embrace I keep crying baby, baby please Oh can't you see You belong to me How my poor heart aches with every step you take Every move you make Every vow you break Every smile you fake Every claim you stake I'll be watching you - Walking On The Moon
- Fields Of Gold
You'll remember me when the west wind moves Upon the fields of barley You'll forget the sun in his jealous sky As we walk in the fields of gold So she took her love For to gaze awhile Upon the fields of barley In his arms she fell as her hair came down Among the fields of gold Will you stay with me, will you be my love Among the fields of barley We'll forget the sun in his jealous sky As we lie in the fields of gold See the west wind move like a lover so Upon the fields of barley Feel her body rise when you kiss her mouth Among the fields of gold I never made promises lightly And there have been some that I've broken But I swear in the days still left We'll walk in the fields of gold We'll walk in the fields of gold Many years have passed since those summer days Among the fields of barley See the children run as the sun goes down Among the fields of gold You'll remember me when the west wind moves Upon the fields of barley You can tell the sun in his jealous sky When we walked in the fields of gold When we walked in the fields of gold When we walked in the fields of gold - Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic
- If You Love Somebody Set Them Free
Letra
If you need somebody, call my name if you want someone, you can do the same if you want to keep something precious you got to lock it up and throw away the key if you want to hold onto your possession don't even think about me If you love somebody, set them free If it's a mirror you want, just look into my eyes or a whipping boy, someone to despise or a prisoner in the dark tied up in chains you just can't see or a beast in a gilded cage that's all some people ever want to be If you love somebody, set them free You can't control an independent heart can't tear the one you love apart forever conditioned to believe that we can't live we can't live here and be happy with less so many riches, so many souls everything we see we want to possess If you need somebody, call my name if you want someone, you can do the same if you want to keep something precious you got to lock it up and throw away the key if you want to hold onto your possession don't even think about me If you love somebody, set them free - Let Your Soul Be Your Pilot
Letra
When you're down and they're counting When your secrets all found out When your troubles take to mounting When the map you have leads you to doubt When there's no information And the compass turns to nowhere that you know well Let your soul be your pilot Let your soul guide you He'll guide you well When the doctors failed to heal you When no medicine chest can make you well When no counsel leads to comfort When there are no more lies they can tell No more useless information And the compass spins The compass spins between heaven and hell Let your soul be your pilot Let your soul guide you He'll guide you well And your eyes turn towards the window pane To the lights upon the hill The distance seems so strange to you now And the dark room seems so still Let your pain be my sorrow Let your tears be my tears too Let your courage be my model That the north you find will be true When there's no more useless information And the compass turns to nowhere that you know well Let your soul be your pilot Let your soul guide you Let your soul guide you Let your soul guide you upon your way - Russians
In europe and america there's a growing feeling of hysteria Conditioned to respond to all the threats In the rhetorical speeches of the soviets Mr. krushchev said we will bury you I don't subscribe to this point of view It would be such an ignorant thing to do If the russains love their children too How can i save my little boy from oppenheimer's deadly toy There is no monopoly of common sense On either side of the political fence We share the same biology Regardless of ideology Believe me when i say to you I hope the russians love their children too There is no historical precedent To put words in the mouth of the president There's no such thing as a winnable war It's a lie we don't believe anymore Mr. reagan says we will protect you I don't subscribe to this point of view Believe me when i say to you I hope the russians love their children too We share the same biology Regardless of ideology What might save us me and you Is that the russians love their children too - If I Ever Lose My Faith In You
You could say i lost my faith in science and progress you could say i lost my belief in the holy church you could say i lost my sense of direction you could say all of this and worse, but if i ever lose my faith in you there'd be nothing left for me to do Some would say i was a lost man in a lost world you could say i lost my faith in the people on tv you could say i'd lost my belief in our politicians yhey all seemed like game show hosts to me if i ever lose my faith in you there'd be nothing left for me to do i could be lost inside their lies without a trace but every time i close my eyes i see your face I never saw no miracle of science that didn't go from a blessing to a curse i never saw no military solution that didn't always end up as something worse, but let me say this first if i ever lose my faith in you there'd be nothing left for me to do - When We Dance
If 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...] - Don't Stand So Close To Me
