Slow Dancing Lyrics

U2 and Willie Nelson

My love is cruel as the night

She steals the sun, and shuts out the light

All of my colours, they turn to blue

Win or lose

She does it slow dancing

Slow dancing

She does it slow...dancing

All night long

Scarlet eyes and a see-through heart

I saw her coming right from the start

She picked me up, but had me down on my knees

Just a' beggin' her please

Take me slow dancing

Slow dancing

She took me slow...dancing

All night long

And I don't know why a man

Search for himself in his woman's eyes

No I don't know why a man

Sees the truth but needs the lies

My love is restless as the wind

She moves like a shadow across my skin

She left with my conscience, I don't want it back

It just gets in the way

If you wanna go slow dancing

Slow dancing

She took me slow...dancing

All night long

Slow...dancing

Slow...dancing

Slow...

Don't Take Your Guns to Town

U2 Cover of Johnny Cash Song

A young boy named Billy Joe

Restless on the farm

A boy filled with wanderlust

Who never really meant no harm

Bill changed his clothes and he shined his boots

And he combed his dark hair down

But his mama cried as he walked away

Don't take your guns to town

Don't take your guns to town

Don't take your guns to town

He laughed and kissed his mom and said

Your Billy Joe, he's the man

I can shoot as quick, I can shoot as straight

As anybody can

But I wouldn't shoot without a cause

Or gun nobody down

But she cried again as he rode away

Don't take your guns to town, son

Leave your guns at home

Don't take your guns to town

Well, he drank his first strong liquor then

To calm his shaking hands

And he tried, he tried to tell himself

At last he had become a man

A dusty cowpoke stood at his side

Began to laugh him down

And he heard again his mother's words

Don't take your guns to town, son

Leave your guns at home

Don't take your guns...

Don't take your guns

Don't take your guns to town

Don't take your guns

Don't take your guns to town

Filled with rage, then Billy Joe

Reached for his gun to draw

But the stranger drew his gun and fired

Before he even saw

As Billy Joe fell to the floor

The crowd all gathered 'round

And wondered at his final words

Don't take your guns to town, son

Leave your guns at home

Don't take your guns to town

Satellite Of Love

Lou Reed Cover

Satellite's gone up to the sky

Things like that drive me out of my mind

I watched it for a little while, I love to watch things on TV

Oh...satellite of love

Ah...satellite of love

Ooh...satellite of love

Satellite

Satellite's gone way up to Mars

Soon it will be filled with parking cars

I watched it for a little while, I love to watch things on TV

Oooh...ahh...satellite of love

Ha...satellite of love

Satellite of love

Satellite

I've been told that you've been bold with Harry, Mark, and John

Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, Harry, Mark, and John

Satellite's gone up to the sky

Things like that drive me out of my mind

I watched it for a little while, I love to watch things on TV

Hoo...satellite of love

Haa...satellite of love

Hoo...satellite of love

Satellite of...

Satellite...satellite...

Satellite...satellite...

Fortunate Son

Live CCR Cover

Some folks are born made to wave the flag

Yeah, the red, white, and blue

When the band plays 'Hail To The Chief'

Yeah, they'll point the cannon at you

It ain't me, it ain't me I'm no millionaire's son

It ain't me, it ain't me I ain't no fortunate one

Some folks are born silver spoon in hand

Well, they help themselves, yeah

When the taxman comes to the door

House looks a like a rummage sale

It ain't me, it ain't me I ain't no millionaire's son

It ain't me, it ain't me I ain't no fortunate one, no

Some folks inherit star spangled eyes

Yeah, when they send you down to war

Well, when you ask them how much you should give

Yeah, it's always more, more, more

It ain't me, it ain't me I ain't no senator's son

It ain't me, it ain't me I'm no fortunate one

It ain't me, it ain't me I ain't no military son

It ain't me, it ain't me I ain't no fortunate son

Take it away...

Night and Day

U2 Cover of Cole Porter's song

When the jungle shadows fall

Like the tick tick tock of the eye of the clock

Standing against the wall

Like the drip drip drip of the rain drops

When the summer shower's through

So a voice within me

Keeps repeating you...you

Night and day

You are the one

Only you beneath the moon

And under the sun

Whether near to me or far

It's no matter, baby, where you are

I think of you night and day

Day and night

Why is it so

That this longing for you follows wherever I go

In the roaring traffic boom

In the silence of my lonely room

I think of you night and day

Night and day

Under the hide of me

Though such a hungry yearning

Burning inside of me

This torment won't be through

Till you let me spend my life making love to you

Day and night

Night and day

Night and day

Under the hide of me

Oh, such a hungry yearning

Burning, burning inside of me

This torment won't be through

Till you let me spend my life making love to you

Day and night

Night and day

Night and day

Night and day

Night and day

Night, night, night and day

Night and day

Night, night and day

Night and day

Do They Know It's Christmas?

Band Aid Single

It's Christmastime, there's no need to be afraid

At Christmastime, we let in light and we banish shade

And in our world of plenty we can spread a smile of joy

Throw your arms around the world at Christmastime

But say a prayer to pray for the other ones

At Christmastime it's hard, but when you're having fun

There's a world outside your window, and it's a world of dread and fear

Where the only water flowing is the bitter sting of tears

And the Christmas bells that ring there are the clanging chimes of doom

Well tonight thank God it's them instead of you

And there won't be snow in Africa this Christmastime

The greatest gift they'll get this year is life

Where nothing ever grows, no rain or rivers flow

Do they know it's Christmastime at all?

Here's to you, raise a glass for everyone

Here's to them underneath that burning sun

Do they know it's Christmastime at all?

Feed the world

Feed the world

Feed the world

Let them know it's Christmastime again

Feed the world

Let them know it's Christmastime again

*Indian Summer Sky*

In the ocean cuts ring deep, the sky

Like there, I don't know why

In the forest there's a clearing

I run there towards the light

Sky, it's a blue sky

In the earth the hole deep, deep, decide

If I could I would

Up for air to swim against the tide

Hey, hey, hey

Up towards the sky

It's a blue sky

To lose along the way

The spark that set the flame

To flicker and to fade on this the longest day

So wind go through to my heart

So wind blow through my soul

So wind go through to my heart

So wind blow through my soul

So wind go through to my heart

You give yourself to this the longest day

You give yourself, you give it all away

Two rivers run too deep,

The seasons change and so do I

The light that strikes

The tallest trees the light away for I

The light away, up towards the sky

It's a blue sky

To lose along the way

The spark that set the flame

To flicker and to fade on this the longest day

So wind go through to my heart

So wind blow through my soul

So wind go through to my heart

So wind blow through my soul

So wind go through my heart

So wind blow through my soul

So wind go through to my heart

You give yourself to this the longest day

*Paint it Black*

I see a red door

And I want it painted black

No colours anymore

I want them to turn black

I see the girls walk by

Dressed in their summer clothes

I have to turn my head

Until my darkness goes

I see a line of cars

And they're all painted black

With flowers and my love

Both never to come back

I see them turn their heads

Quickly look away

Like a newborn baby

It just happens every day

I look inside myself

See my heart is back

I see my red door

And I want it painted black

Maybe then I'll fade away

And not have to face the facts

It's not easy facing up

When your whole world is black

No more will my green sea

Go turn a deeper blue

I could not foresee

This thing happening to you

If I look hard enough

Into the setting sun

My love will laugh with me

Before the morning comes

I wanna see it painted

 Painted black

Black as night

I wanna see it painted

Painted black

Black as night...

*I Threw a Brick Through a Window*

I was talking, I was talking to myself

Somebody else talk, talk, talking

I couldn't hear a word, a word he said

He was my brother

I said there was no other way out of here

Be my brother

Brother

Got to get out, got to get out

I was walking, I was walking into walls

And back again

I just keep walking

I walk up to a window to see myself

And my reflection, when I thought about it

My direction, going nowhere, going nowhere

No-one, no-one is blinder

Than he who will not see

No-one, no-one is blinder

Than me

I was talking, I was talking in my sleep

*Promenade*

Earth, sky, scenery

Is she coming back again?

Men of straw, snooker hall

Words that build or destroy

Dirt dry, bone, sand and stone

Barbed wire fence cut me down

I'd like to be around

In a spiral staircase

To the higher ground

And I, like a firework, explode

Roman candle, lightning, lights up the sky

In cracked streets, trampled underfoot

Side-step, sidewalk

I see you stare into space

Have I got closer now, behind the face?

Oh, tell me, Cherry you dance with me

*Jesus Christ*

Well Jesus was a man

Who traveled through the land

A hard working man and brave

Well he said to the rich

'Give your money to the poor'

For they layed Jesus Christ in his grave

Hallelujah, hallelujah

Hallelujah

For they layed Jesus Christ is his grave

Well he went to the preacher

He went to the law

And told them all the same

He said 'sell all your jewelery

And give it to the poor'

For they layed Jesus Christ in his grave

Hallelujah, hallelujah

Hallelujah

For they layed Jesus Christ in his grave

When Jesus came to town

All the working folks around

Believed what he did say

Well the bankers and the preachers

They nailed him on a cross

For they layed Jesus Christ in his grave

And hard working people

They followed him around

They sung and shouted gay

Well the cops and the soldiers

They nailed him in the head

And they layed Jesus Christ in his grave

Oh, hallelujah

Hallelujah

Hallelujah

For they layed Jesus Christ in his grave

Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Hallelujah

For they layed Jesus Christ in his grave

Well this song was written in New York City

A rich man, preacher and slave

Well if Jesus was to preach

While he preached in Galilee

They would lay Jesus Christ in his grave

One, two, three, four!

Hallelujah

*Stateless*

I got no home in this world

Just gravity, luck, and time

I've got no home in this world

Just you, and you are not mine

Stateless

Fateless

Stateless

There are no colours in your eyes

There's no sunshine in your sky

There's no race, only the prize

There is no tomorrow, only tonight

Stateless

Oh...what's the difference?

You can cover the world with your thumb

Still so big, so bright, so beautiful

Weightless

Stateless

Push down on me

Push, down on me

Awake now

A weight, get down on me

Your weight...down...

Bring your weight on, down on me

Be the heavy hand, the mortal sand

Be the weight, heart, get down on me

Stateless

*Drowning Man*

Take my hand

You know I'll be there

If you can

I'll cross the sky for your love

For I have promised

For to be with you tonight

And for the time that will come

Take my hand

You know I'll be there

If you can

I'll cross the sky for your love

And I understand

These winds and tides

This change of times

Won't drag you away

Hold on, and hold on tightly

Hold on, and don't let go of my love

The storms will pass, it won't be long now

This love will last, this love will last forever

And take my hand, you know I'll be there

If you can

I'll cross the sky for your love

Give you what I hold dear

Hold on, hold on tightly

Hold on, and hold on tightly

Rise up, rise up with wings like eagles

You run, you run

You run and not grow weary

Hold on, and hold on tightly

*Rejoice*

It's falling, it's falling

And outside a building comes tumbling down

And inside a child on the ground

Says he'll do it again

And what am I to do?

What in the world am I to say?

There's nothing else to do

He says he'll change the world some day

I rejoice

This morning I fell out of bed

When I woke up to what he had said

Everything's crazy but I'm too lazy to lie

And what am I to do?

Just tell me what am I supposed to say?

I can't change the world

But I can change the world in me

Rejoice

Rejoice

And what am I to do?

Just tell me what am I supposed to say?

I can't change the world

But I can change the world in me

I rejoice

*A Room at the Heartbreak Hotel*

From where I stand I can see through you

From where you're sitting, pretty one

I know it got to you

I see the stars in your eyes

You want the truth, but you need the lies

Like Judy Garland, like Valentino

You give your life for rock n' roll

Stand

We're on a landslide of love

You got everything you want

But what you need

You give away

For primitive love

And a ride on the mystery train

A primitive love

A room at the heart

The heartbreak hotel

A room at the heartbreak

Heartbreak hotel

A room at the heartbreak

Heartbreak hotel

You say it's love, it's not the money

You let them suck your life out like honey

Turning tricks, you're on the street

Selling your kisses so bittersweet

I wanna know

Did you bet again?

I gotta know

Oh the price

Is too hard to pay

A primitive love

And a ride on the mystery train

A primitive love

A room at the heart

The heartbreak hotel

A room at the heartbreak, the heartbreak,

*Red Light*

Oh I talk to you, you walk away

You're still on the down beat

You say you don't want my help

But you can't escape

If you're running from yourself

I give you my love

I give you my love

Give you my love

Still you walk away

Well

It's your own late show

As you jump to the street below

But where can you go to leave yourself behind?

Alone in the spotlight of this, your own tragedy

I give you my love

Love

I give you my love

*Always*

Here today, gone tomorrow

Crack the bone, get to the marrow

To be a bee and the flower

Before the sweetness turns to sour

What we have we’re gonna keep...always

What we’ve lost we don’t need...always

What is it that won’t let you sleep...always

Be the arrow and the target

Put your head over the parapet

Be uncool, be awkward

Don’t look in the obvious place

The soul needs beauty for a soulmate

Get down off your holy cloud...always

God will not deal with the proud...always

Well if you dream then dream out loud...always

Eternally yours...always

I want you

I want you

I want you

Here she comes

Touching the other side

I wanted to be in love

I wanted to call

You say come to know yourself...always

Don't find yourself in someone else...always

And always wear a safety belt...always

Wait for me I’m running late...always

This is the moment that we share for always

Turning slowly into a prayer...always

Now and forever

*Holy Joe*

I

I am a humble guy

No really I try

You know it's hard sometimes

You

Yeah you're messed up too

Both of us gonna get through

Working my way to get to you

Come on, come on

Come on, come on, be good to me

Come on, come on

Come on, come on, be good to me

Here it comes

Here it comes

Holy Joe

Please

Don't make me say please

With champagne and ice cream

It's not what I want it's what I need

Devotion

Little appreciation

Little heavy rotation

Looks good on me

Totally messed up in everybody's life

Closer than ever to everybody's wife

Yeah...

Come on come on

Come on come on, be good to me

Come on come on

Come on come on, be good to me

Here it comes

Here it comes

Holy Joe

Totally mixed up in everybody's life

Closer than ever to everybody's wife

Yeah...

Come on come on

Come on come on, be good to me

Come on come on

Come on come on, be good to me

Here it comes

Here it comes

Holy Joe

Here it comes

Here it comes

Holy Joe

Here it comes

*New York*

In New York

Freedom looks like too many choices

In New York

I found a friend

To drown out the other voices

Voices on the cell phone

Voices from home

Voices of the hard sell

Voices down the stairwell

In New York, just got a place in New York

In New York

Summers get hot, well into the hundreds

You can’t walk around the block

Without a change of clothing

Hot as a hairdryer in your face

Hot as a handbag and a can of mace

New York, I just got a place in New York

New York, New York

In New York

You can forget, forget how to sit still

Tell yourself you will stay in

But it's down to Alphaville

New York

New York, New York

New York, New York

New York

The Irish have been coming here for years

Feel like they own the place

They got the airport, city hall, concrete, asphalt,

They even got the police

Irish, Italian, Jews and Hispanics

Religious nuts, political fanatics in the stew,

Living happily not like me and you

That's where I lost you...NewYork

New York, New York

New York

New York, New York

New York

New York

In New York

I lost it all to you and your vices

Still I'm staying on to figure out

My mid life crisis

I hit an iceberg in my life

But you know I'm still afloat

You lose your balance, lose your wife

In the queue for the lifeboat

You got to put the women and children first

But you've got an unquenchable thirst

For New York

New York, New York

New York, New York

In the stillness of the evening

When the sun has had its day

I heard your voice a-whispering

Come away child

New York, New York

*Miami*

Weather 'round here choppin' and changin'

Surgery in the air

Print shirts and southern accents

Cigars and big hair

We got the wheels, petrol's cheap

We only went there for a week

Got the sun, got the sand

Got the batteries and the handicam

Her eyes all swimming pool blue

Dumb-bells on the diving board

Baby's always attracted to

The things she's afraid of

Big girl with a sweet tooth watches

Skinny girl in the photo shoot

Freshmen, squeaky-clean

She tastes of chlorine

Miami, my mammy

Love the movies, babe

Love to walk through movie sets

Get to shoot someone in the foot

Get to smoke some cigarettes

No big deal, we know the score

Just back from the video store

Got the car and the car chase

What's he got inside that case?

I want a close-up of that face

Here comes the car chase

I bought two new suits

Miami

Pink and blue

Miami

I took a picture of you

My mammy

Getting hot in a photo booth

Miami

I said you looked like a madonna

You said maybe

You said I wanna have your baby, baby

We could make something beautiful

Something that wouldn't be a problem

We could make something beautiful

Something that wouldn't be a problem

Least not in Miami

You know, some places are like your auntie
