So you never knew love until you crossed the line of grace
And you never felt wanted until you'd someone slap your face
And you never felt alive until you'd almost wasted away
You had to win
You couldn't just pass
The smartest ass
At the top of the class
Your flying colours
Your family tree
And all your lessons in history
Please... please... please get up off your knees
Now please... please... please leave it out
So you never knew how low you'd stoop to make that call
And you never knew what was on the ground until they made you crawl
So you never knew that the heaven you keep you stole
Your catholic blues
Your convent shoes
Your stick on tattoos
Now they're making the news
Your holy war
Your northern star
Your sermon on the mount
From the boot of your car
Please... please... please get up off your knees
Now please... please... please leave it out
Cos' love is big and love is tough
But love is not what you're thinking of
September... streets capsizing... spilling over and down the drain
Shards of glass, splinters like rain
But you could only feel your own pain...
October... talk getting nowhere... November... December... remember...
Are we just starting again...?
Please... please... please get up off your knees
Now please
Cos' love is big, it's bigger than us
But love is not what we're thinking of
It's what lovers deal it's what lovers steal
You know I've found it hard to receive
Cause you, my love I could never believe
Please... please... please... get up off your knees now
Please... please... please...
Please.....
Please.....
Please.....
Where
the Streets Have No Name (Live from Rotterdam - July 18th 1997)
I want to run
I want to hide
Yeah I want to tear down the walls
That hold me tonight
I want to break through
Into a new frame
Where the streets have no name
I want to feel
Sunlight on my face
Yeah I see the dust cloud disappear
Without a trace
I wanna take shelter
From the city street rain
Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name
Still we're building
Then burning down love
Burning down love
And when I go there
I go there with you
It's all I can do
The city's aflood
And our love turns to rust
We're beaten and blown by the wind
Trampled in dust
I'll show you a place
High on a desert plain
Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name
Still we're building
Then burning down love
Burning down love
And when I go there
I go there with you
It's all I can do
Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name
Still we're building
Then burning down love
Burning down love
And when I go there
I go there with you
It's all I can do
It's
all we know how to do
Then, there will no be time for sorrow
Then, will there no be time of shame
Then, there will
Then, there will be
Then, there will be no time
Then, there will be no time
Then, there will be no time
No time
Then, there will be no time
Then, there will be no time
No!
With or Without
You (Live from Edmonton - June 14th 1997)
See the stone set in your eyes
See the thorn twist in your side
I'll wait for you
Slight of hand and twist of fate
On a bed of nails she makes me wait
And I'm waiting for you
With or without you
With or without you
Through the storm we reach the shore
You give it all, but I want more
And I'm waiting for you
With or without you
With or without you
I can't live
With or without you
Yeah you
And you give yourself away
And you give yourself away
And you give
And you give
And you give yourself away
My hands are tied
My body's bruised and she's got me with
Nothing to win and
Nothing left to lose
And you give yourself away
And you give yourself away
And you give
And you give
And you give yourself away
With or without you
With or without you
I can't live
With or without you
With or without you
With or without you
I can't live
With or without you
With or without you
Thank you
Thanks for coming out to see us play
Good night, God bless you
Staring at
the Sun (Live from Rotterdam - July 18th 1997)
Summer stretching on the grass
Summer dresses pass
In the shade of a willow tree
Creeps a crawling over me
Over me and over you
Stuck together with gods glue
It's going to get stickier too
It's been a long hot summer
Lets get undercover
Don't try too hard to think...
Don't think at all
You're not the only one
Staring at the sun
Afraid of what you'd find
If you step back inside
Not just deaf and dumb
Staring at the sun
Not the only one
Who's happy to go blind
There's an insect in your ear
If you scratch it won't disappear
It's gonna itch and burn and sting
You wanna see what the scratching brings
Waves that leave me out of reach
Breaking on your back like a beach
Will we ever live in peace?
Cos' those that can't do
Often have to
No, those that can't do
Often have to preach
To the ones
Staring at the sun
Afraid of what you'd find
If you step back inside
Not just deaf and dumb
Staring at the sun
Not the only one
Who's happy to go blind
Intransigence is all around
Military still in town
Armour plated suits and ties
Daddy just won't say goodbye
Referee won't blow the whistle
God is good but will He listen
I'm really great
But there's something missing
I left it in the duty free area
She never really belonged to me
You're not the only one
Staring at the sun
Afraid of what you'd find
If you stepped back inside
Now I'm sucking on my thumb
I'm Staring at the sun
Not the only one
Who's happy to go blind
Happy to go blind
Happy to go blind
Happy to go blind
Happy to go
Happy to go
Happy to go blind
Happy to go blind
Happy to go blind
Happy to go
Happy to go
Happy to go blind
