Sweetest Thing (Single Mix)
 
 
 
     My love she throws me
     Like a rubber ball
     Oh the sweetest thing
     She won't catch me
     Or break my fall
     Oh the sweetest thing
 
     Baby's got blue skies up ahead
     But in this I'm a rain cloud
     You know she wants dry kind of love
     Oh the sweetest thing
 
     I'm losing you
     I'm losing you
     Ain't love the sweetest thing
 
     I wanted to run
     But she made me crawl
     Oh the sweetest thing
     Tounge of fire
     She turned me to straw
     Oh the sweetest thing
     You know I got black eyes
     But they burn so brightly for her
     This is a blind kind of love
     Oh the sweetest thing
 
     I'm losing you
     Woah, I'm losing you
     Ain't the sweetest thing
     Ain't the sweetest thing
     Ain't the sweetest thing
 
     Blue eyed boy
     Meets a brown eyed girl
     Oh the sweetest thing
     You can sew it up
     But you still see the tear
     Oh the sweetest thing
 
     Baby's got blue skies up ahead
     But in this I'm a rain cloud
     Our's is a a stormy kind of love
     Oh the sweetest thing
     Do do do do
     Do do do do
     Do do do do do do do do
     Do do do do
     Do do do do
     Do do do do do do do do
     Do do do do
     Do do do do
     The sweetest thing
     Do do do do do do do do
     Oh the sweetest thing

     There's a place I go
     When I am far away
     There's a Radio
     And I will grow
 
     Sometimes the hero takes me
     Sometimes I don't let go
     Hello hello
 
     There's a picture book
     With coloured photographs
     There's a comic strip
     That makes me laugh
 
     Sometimes the hero takes me
     Sometimes I don't let go
     Hello hello
 
     Stories for boys
     Stories for boys
     Stories for boys
     Stories for boys
     Stories for boys

     There's a Radio
     And I will grow
 
     Sometimes the hero takes me
     Sometimes I can't let go
     Hello hello

 Out Of Control (Boston, USA - 6th March 1981)
 
 
 
     This one's called,
     Out of Control
 
     See ya...
 
     Monday morning
     Eighteen years of dawning
     I say how long
     I say how long (how long)
 
     It was one dull morning
     Woke the world with falling
     I was so sad (so sad)
     It was so bad
 
     I was of a feeling it was out of control
     He said it was out of control
 
     Boys and girls
     Go to school, and girls
     They make children
     Not like this one
 
     I was of a feeling it was out of control
     He said it was out of control
 
     I was of a feeling it was out of control
     He said it was out of control
 
     La la la la
     You've been standing
     I've been waiting
     While I go you say goodbye
     I will say so, this guy
 
     Out of control
 
     Out of control
     Out of control
 
     I had full faith
     It was burning
     Gotta get them
     They'll say childhood
     It's in his childhood
 
     One day I'll die
     The choice will not be mine
     Will it be too late
     You can't fight it
 
     I was of a feeling it was out of control
     He said it was out of control
 
     Thank you!
 
     Thank you
 
 
 
Twilight (Red Rocks, Denver - 5th June 1983)
 
 
 
     I look into his eyes
     They're closed but I see something
     A teacher told me why
     I laugh when old men cry
 
     My body grows and grows
     It fightens me you know
     The old man tried to walk me home
     I thought he should have known
 
     Twilight, darkened day
     Twilight, lost my way
     Twilight, running grey
     Twilight, I lost my way
 
     In the shadow, boy meets man
     In the shadow, boy meets man
     In the shadow, boy meets man
     In the shadow, boy meets man
 
     Love you!
     Love!, Summertime
 
     I'm running in the rain
     I saw late night play
     It's all, it's everything
     I'm soaking through the skin
 
     Twilight... darkened day
     Twilight
     Twilight... lift me up
     Twilight
     I've lost my way
     Can't find my way
     I lost my way
     Can't find your way
 
     Twilight... indio
     Twilight
     Twilight... lost my way
     Twilight
     I lost my way
 
     In the shadow, boy meets man
     In the shadow, boy meets man
     In the shadow, boy meets man
     In the shadow, boy meets man
 
 
 
An Cat Dubh (Red Rocks, Denver - 5th June 1983)
 
 
 
     This is the black cat - An Cat Dubh
 
     Say goodnight
     She waits for me to
     Put out the light
     When I'm still
     She waits to break my will
 
     Yes, and I know the truth
     About you
 
     And in the daylight
     A blackbird makes a violent sight
     And when she is done
     She sleeps beside the wild
 
     Yes, and I know the truth
     About you
 
     This is the bass player!
     Guitar!
 
     Yes, and I know the truth
     About you
 
     Rise up
     Rise up
 
     Will you come
     It's been too long
     We've been waiting all day
     For this
     We've been waiting
     We've been waiting all day
     For you
     For you
 
     Into the heart
     Of a child
     I can smile
     I can go back
 
     Into the heart
     Of a child
     I can smile
     I can see my way
 
     Into the heart
     Into the heart
     Of a child
     I can go back I stay awhile
 
     Into the heart
     Into the heart
     Of a child
     Yeah...
 
     Into the heart...
     Tonight
     Wait for tonight
 
     Thank you
     Very much
