VAN
DEMIEN'S LAND
Hold
me now, oh hold me now
til this hour has gone around
And I'm gone on the rising tide
For to face Van Diemen's land
It's
a bitter pill I swallow here
To be rent from one so dear
We fought for justice and not for gain
But the magistrate sent me away
Now
kings will rule and the poor will toil
And tear their hands as they tear the soil
But a day will come in this dawning age
When an honest man sees an honest wage
Hold
me now, oh hold me now
til this hour has gone around
And I'm gone on the rising tide
For to face Van Diemen's land
Back
Desire
(Yeah)
Lover,
I'm on the street
Gonna go where the bright lights
And the big city meet
With a red guitar...on fire
Desire
She's
a candle burning in my room
Yeah I'm like the needle, needle and spoon
Over the counter with a shotgun
Pretty soon everybody got one
And the fever when I'm beside her
Desire, desire...
And
the fever...getting higher
Desire, desire...burning, burning
She's
the dollars
She's my protection
Yeah she's a promise
In the year of election
Oh sister, I can't let you go
Like a preacher stealing hearts
At a traveling show
For love or money money money
money money money money money
money money money
And the fever, getting higher
Desire, desire, desire, desire
Desire, desire

I Still Haven't Found
What I'm Looking For
I
have climbed the highest mountain
I have run through the fields
Only to be with you
Only to be with you
I
have run I have crawled
I have scaled these city walls
Only to be with you
But I still Haven't found
What I'm looking for
But I still Haven't found
What I'm looking for
I
have kissed honey lips
Felt the healing in her fingertips
It burned like fire
This burning desire
I have spoke with the tongue of angels
I have held the hand of a devil
It was warm in the night
I was cold as a stone
But I still Haven't found
What I'm looking for
But I still Haven't found
What I'm looking for
I
belive in the Kingdom Come
Then all the colours will bleed into one
But yes I'm still running
You broke the bonds
You loosed the chains
You carried the cross
And my shame
And my shame
You know I believe it
But I still Haven't found
What I'm looking for
But I still Haven't found
What I'm looking for
Back
Silver
and Gold
In
the shit house a shotgun
Praying hands hold me down
Only the hunter was hunted
In this tin can town
Tin can town
No
stars in the black night
Looks like the sky fell down
No sun in the daylight
Looks like it's chained to the ground
Chained to the ground
The warden said
The exit is sold
If you want a way out
Silver and gold
Broken
back to the ceiling
Broken nose to the floor
I scream at the silence, it's crawling
It crawls under the door
There's a rope around my neck
And there's a trigger in your gun
Jesus say something
I am someone, I am someone
I am someone
Captain
and kings
In the ships hold
They came to collect
Silver and gold
Silver and gold
Seen
the coming and going
Seen them captains and the kings
See them navy blue uniforms
See them bright and shiny things
Bright shiny things
The
temperature is rising
The fever white hot
Mister, I ain't got nothing
But it's more than you got
Chains
no longer bind me
Not the shackles at my feet
Outside are the prisoners
Inside the free
Set them free
Set them free
A
prize fighter in a corner is told
Hit where it hurts
Silver and gold
Silver and gold

PRIDE(in the
name of love)
One
man come in the name of love
One man come and go
One come he to justify
One man to overthrow
In
the name of love
What more in the name of love
In the name of love
What more in the name of love
One
man caught on a barbed wire fence
One man he resist
One man washed on an empty beach
One man betrayed with a kiss
In
the name of love
What more in the name of love
In the name of love
What more in the name of love
Early
morning, April 4
Shot rings out in the Memphis sky
Free at last, they took your life
They could not take your pride
In
the name of love
What more in the name of love
In the name of love
What more in the name of love
In the name of love
What more in the name of love...
Back
It
was a cold and wet December day
When we touched the ground at JFK
Snow was melting on the ground
On BLS I heard the sound
Of an angel
New
York, like a Christmas tree
Tonight this city belongs to me
Angel
Soul
love...this love won't let me go
So long...angel of Harlem
Birdland
on fifty-three
The street sounds like a symphony
We got John Coltrane and a love supreme
Miles, and she's got to be an angel
Lady
Day got diamond eyes
She sees the truth behind the lies
Angel
Soul
love...this love won't let me go
So long...angel of Harlem
Angel of Harlem
She
says it's heart...heart and soul...
Yeah yeah...(yeah)
Yeah yeah...(right now)
Blue
light on the avenue
God knows they got to you
An empty glass, the lady sings
Eyes swollen like a bee sting
Blinded you lost your way
Through the side streets and the alleyway
Like a star exploding in the night
Falling to the city in broad daylight
An angel in Devil's shoes
Salvation in the blues
You never looked like an angel
Yeah yeah...angel of Harlem
Angel...angel
of Harlem...
[Repeat and fade]
Back
All I Want is You
You say you want
Diamonds on a ring of gold
You say you want
Your story to remain untold
But all the
promises we make
From the cradle to the grave
When all I want is you
You say you'll
give me
A highway with no one on it
Treasure just to look upon it
All the riches in the night
You say you'll
give me
Eyes in a moon of blindness
A river in a time of dryness
A harbour in the tempest
But all the promises we make
From the cradle to the grave
When all I want is you
You say you
want
Your love to work out right
To last with me through the night
You say you
want
Diamonds on a ring of gold
Your story to remain untold
Your love not to grow cold
All the
promises we break
From the cradle to the grave
When all I want is you
You...all I
want is...
You...all I want is...
You...all I want is...
You...
