Red rain is coming down
Red rain
Red rain is pouring down
Pouring down all over me
I am standing up at the water’s edge in my dream
I cannot make a single sound as you scream
It can’t be that cold,the ground is still warm to touch
Hay ay ay we touch
This place is so quiet, sensing that storm
Red rain is coming down
Red rain
Red rain is pouring down
Pouring down all over me
Well I’ve seen them, buried in a sheltered place in this town
They tell you that this rain can sting and look down
There is no blood around see no sign of pain
Hay ay ay no pain
Seeing no red at all, see no rain
Red rain is coming down
Red rain
Red rain is pouring down
Pouring down all over me

Red rain

Haahhh
Haahhh
Putting the pressure on much harder now
To return again and again
(Back voice) Red rain
Just let the red rain splash you
Let the rain fall on your skin
(Back voice) Red rain
I come to you defences down
( Back voice ) oh oh
With the trust of a child
Hayyy ay red rain coming down
Red rain
Red rain is pouring down
Pouring down all over me
And I can’t watch anymore
No more denial
It’s so hard to lay down in all of this
Red rain coming down
Red rain is pouring down
Red rain is coming down all over me
I see it
Red rain coming down
Red rain is pouring down
Red rain is coming down all over me
I’m bathing in
Red rain coming down
Red rain is coming down
Red rain is coming down all over me
I’m begging you
Red rain coming down
Red rain coming down
Red rain coming down
Red rain coming downnnn
Over me in the red red sea
Over me
Over me
Red rain .

You could have a steam train
If you'd just lay down your tracks
You could have an aeroplane flying
If you bring your blue sky back
All you do is call me, I'll be anything you need

You could have a big dipper
Going up and down, all around the bends
You could have a bumper car bumping
This amusement never ends

I want to be your sledgehammer
Why don't you call my name?
Oh, let me be your sledgehammer
This will be my testimony

Show me 'round your fruitcage
Cause I will be your honey bee
Open up your fruitcage
Where the fruit is as sweet as can be

I want to be your sledgehammer
Why don't you call my name?
You'd better call the sledgehammer
Put your mind at rest
I'm going to be the sledgehammer
This can be my testimony
I'm your sledgehammer
Let there be no doubt about it
Sledge, sledge, sledgehammer

I've kicked the habit (kicked the habit, kicked the habit)
Shed my skin (shed my skin)
This is the new stuff (this is the new stuff)
I go dancing in (we go dancing in)
Oh, won't you show for me (show for me)
I will show for you (show for you)
Please, show for me (show for me)
I will show for you
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I do mean you
(Show for me)

Only you, you've been coming through (show for you)
Going to build that power
Build, build up that power (show for me)
I've been feeding the rhythm
I've been feeding the rhythm (show for you)
Going to feel that power, hey, build in you (show for me)
Come on, come on, help me do
Come on, come on, help me do (show for you)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, you
(Show for me)
I've been feeding the rhythm
I've been feeding the rhythm (show for you)
It's what we're doing, doing
All day and night (show fo me)
Come on, come on, help me do
Come on, come on, help me do (show for you)
Yeah, yeah, yeah....

In this proud land we grew up strong
We were wanted all along
I was taught to fight, taught to win
I never thought I could fail

No fight left or so it seems
I am a man whose dreams have all deserted
I've changed my face, I've changed my name
But no-one wants you when you lose

Don't give up
'cos you have friends
Don't give up
You're not beaten yet
Don't give up
I know you can make it good


Though I saw it all around
Never thought that I could be affected
Thought that we'd be last to go
It is so strange the way things turn

Drove the night toward my home
The place that I was born, on the lakeside
As daylight broke, I saw the earth
The trees had burned down to the ground

Don't give up
You still have us
Don't give up
We don't need much of anything
Don't give up
'cause somewhere there's a place
Where we belong
Rest your head
You worry too much
It's going to be alright
When times get rough
You can fall back on us
Don't give up
Please don't give up

Got to walk out of here
I can't take any more
Going to stand on that bridge
Keep my eyes down below
Whatever may come
And whatever may go
That river's flowing
That river's flowing

Moved on to another town
Tried hard to settle down
For every job, so many men
So many men no-one needs

Don't give up
'cause you have friends
Don't give up
You're not the only one
Don't give up
No reason to be ashamed
Don't give up
You still have us
Don't give up now
We're proud of who you are
Don't give up
You know its never been easy
Don't give up
'cause I believe there's a place
There's a place where we belong.

I want to be with you
I want to be clear
but each time I try
it's the voice I hear
I hear that voice again

I'm listening to the conversation
judge and jury in my head
it's colouring everything
all we did and said
and still I head that sharp tongue talking
talking tangled words
I can sense the danger
just listen to the wind

I want you close I want you near
I can't help but listen
but I don't want to hear
hear that voice again

I want to be with you
I want to be clear
but each time I try
it's the voice I hear
I hear that voice again

I'm hearing right and wrong so clearly
there must be more than this
it's only in uncertainty
that we're naked and alive
I hear it through the rattle of a streetcar
hear it through the things you said
I can get so scared
listen to the wind

I want you close I want you near
I can't help but listen
but I don't want to hear
hear that voice again

what I carry in my heart
brings us so close or so far apart
only love can make love

I want you close I want you near
I can't help but listen
but I don't want to hear
I hear that voice again

I want to be with you
I want to be clear
but each time I try
it's the voice I hear
I hear that voice again

Love, I get so lost, sometimes
Days pass and this emptiness fills my heart
When I want to run away
I drive off in my car
But whichever way I go
I come back to the place you are

All my instincts, they return
And the grand facade, so soon will burn
Without a noise, without my pride
I reach out from the inside

In your eyes
The light the heat
In your eyes
I am complete
In your eyes
I see the doorway
In your eyes
to a thousand churches
In your eyes
The resolution of all the fruitless searches
In your eyes
Oh, I see the light and the heat
In your eyes
Oh, I want to be that complete
I want to touch the light
The heat I see in your eyes

Love, I don't like to see so much pain
So much wasted and this moment keeps slipping away
I get so tired, working so hard for our survival
I look to the time with you, to keep me awake and alive

And all my instincts, they return
And the grand facade, so soon will burn
Without a noise, without my pride
I reach out from the inside

In your eyes
The light the heat
In your eyes
I am complete
In your eyes
I see the doorway to a thousand churches
In your eyes
The resolution
In your eyes
of all the fruitless searches
Oh, I see the light and the heat
In your eyes
Oh, I want to be that complete
I want to touch the light,
The heat I see in your eyes
In your eyes In your eyes
In your eyes In your eyes
In your eyes In your eyes

looking down on empty streets, all she can see
are the dreams all made solid
are the dreams all made real

all of the buildings, all of those cars
were once just a dream
in somebody's head

she pictures the broken glass, she pictures the steam
she pictures a soul
with no leak at the seam

let’s take the boat out
wait until darkness
let's take the boat out
wait until darkness comes

nowhere in the corridors of pale green and grey
nowhere in the suburbs
in the cold light of day

there in the midst of it so alive and alone
words support like bone

dreaming of mercy street
wear your inside out
dreaming of mercy
in your daddy's arms again
dreaming of mercy street
swear they moved that sign
dreaming of mercy
in your daddy's arms

pulling out the papers from the drawers that slide smooth
tugging at the darkness, word upon word

confessing all the secret things in the warm velvet box
to the priest-he's the doctor
he can handle the shocks

dreaming of the tenderness-the tremble in the hips
of kissing Mary's lips

dreaming of mercy street
wear your insides out
dreaming of mercy
in your daddy's arms again
dreaming of mercy street
swear they moved that sign
looking for mercy
in your daddy's arms

mercy, mercy, looking for mercy
mercy, mercy, looking for mercy

Anne, with her father is out in the boat
riding the water
riding the waves on the sea

Title : Big Time
-----------------

Hi There!

I'm on my way, I'm making it
huh
I've got to make it show, yeah!
Aaa!
So much larger than life
I'm gonna watch it growing
Hey, hey, hey, hey.......

The place where I come from
is a small town
They think so small
they use small words
but not me, I'm smarter than that
I worked it out
I'll be stretching my mouth
to let those big words come right out.
I've had enough
I'm getting out
to the city, the big big city
I'll be a big noise
with all the big boys
so much stuff I will own

And I will pray to a big God
as I kneel in the big church

BIG TIME!
I'm on my way I'm making it.
BIG TIME!
Oooo yes.
BIG TIME!
I've got to make it show, yeah.
BIG TIME! (x2)
So much larger than life
BIG TIME!
I'm gonna watch it growing
BIG TIME!
oh..........

My parties have all the big names
and I greet them with the whitest smile
tell them how my life is one big adventure
and always they're amazed
When I show them 'round the house to my bed
I had it made like a mountain range
with a snow white pillow for my big fat head
And my heaven will be a big heaven
and I will walk through the front door

BIG TIME!
I'm on my way I'm making it.
BIG TIME!
huh
BIG TIME!
I've got to make it show, yeah.
BIG TIME! (x2)
So much larger than life
BIG TIME!
I'm gonna watch it growing
BIG TIME! (x2)
My car's getting bigger
BIG TIME!
My house getting bigger
BIG TIME!
My eye's getting bigger
BIG TIME!
and my mouth......
BIG TIME!
My belly's bigger
BIG TIME!
and my bank account
BIG TIME!
Look at my circumstance
BIG TIME!
and the bulge in my big
Big X15

milgram's 37

we do what we're told
we do what we're told
we do what we're told
told to do

we do what we're told
we do what we're told
we do what we're told
told to do

one doubt
one voice
one war
one truth

Title : This Is The Picture (Excellent Birds)
-----------------
Flying birds, excellent birds
Watch them fly, there they go

Falling snow, excellent snow
Here it comes, watch it fall

Long words, excellent words
I can hear them now

This is the picture, this is the picture
This is the picture, this is the picture
This is the picture, this is the picture
This is the picture, this is the picture

I'm sitting by the window watching the snow fall
I'm looking out and I'm moving
Turning in time, catching up. moving in
Jump up, I can land on my feet, look out

This is the picture, this is the picture
This is the picture, this is the picture
This is the picture, this is the picture
This is the picture, this is the picture
This is the picture, this is the picture

Looking out, watching out
When I see the future, I close my eyes
I can see it now

I see pictures of people, rising up
I see pictures of people, falling down
I see pictures of people
They're standing on their heads, they're ready

(Repeat)

They're looking out, look out
They're watching out, watch out
They're looking out, look out
They're watching out, watch out

I see pictures of people
I see pictures of people....
