i found love
[Go to Song Page]
City lights are burning like fire
Ooh they're diamonds shining so bright
But they can't match the love you inspire
And it's burning in me tonight
What we have here together
Is everything I've waited for
I could stay here forever
There's no reason to search for more
(I found love) Shining in your eyes
(I found love) I can't hide it
(I found love) Took my heart by surprise
Ain't no doubt that I found love
You know what I mean
Everyday I'm thankful I found you
You make me happy deep in my heart
Heaven's made a circle around you
And we're together even when we're apart
Love’s a thing you can't measure
'Cause it keeps on growing day by day
But I discovered a treasure
Just by giving my heart away
(I found love) Shining in your eyes
(I found love) I can't hide it
(I found love) You took my heart by surprise
Ain't no doubt that I found love
When you're near me
I can feel the thunder in my soul
Just the way you touch me
Let's me know I'm truly whole
(I found love) Shining in your eyes
(I found love) I can't hide it
(I found love) You took my heart by surprise
Ain't no doubt that I found love
(I found love) Shining in your eyes
(I found love) I just can't hide it
(I found love) You took my heart by surprise
Ain't no doubt that I found love
(I found love) I found love [x4]

(I found love I found love)
(I found love) I’m so happy (I found love) That I found love
(I found love) I’m so happy yeah (I found love)
(I found love) Girl you make me happy (I found love) That I found love
(I found love) I’m so happy (I found love) That I found love
(I found love) I’m so happy (I found love) That I found love
(I found love) I’m so happy (I found love) That I found you
(I found love) Baby I’m happy (I found love) That I found you
(I found love) Baby you make me happy (I found love) That I found
City lights are burning like fire
Ooh they're diamonds shining so bright
But they can't match the love you inspire
And it's burning in me tonight
What we have here together

shine your light
[Go to Song Page]
I see so many things I missed before
I found a message outside my door
It said dear child there's something more
I designed it, you can find it
It's so much bigger than you can see
You've been trapped by your history
If you will break away and turn to me
I'll explain it, you'll attain it
Shine your light
Lord I'm ready my heart is right
Shine your light
Split the shadows and give me a sign
Shine your light
Oh shine your light
How can we handle the right to choose
Some accept you but most refuse
You gave it all so we would not lose
Oh because you love us
Help my life take that holy turn
And seek the prize your love has earned
’Til the day when you return
To claim me, and remake me
Oh Jesus (shine your light)
Lord I'm ready my heart is right
Shine your light
Split the shadows and give me a sign
Shine your light
Oh shine your light
Shine your light
Oh shine your light
Shine your light
Oh shine your light
I heard your strong and steady call
My fear was big, my faith was small
Somehow I knew I had to give it all
Without your love I'd fall
Don't let me fall
Don't let me fall
Shine your light
Lord I'm ready my heart is right
Shine your light
Split the shadows and give me a sign [x2]
Shine your light
Oh shine your light [x3]
Oh oh wo-oh oh
Shine your light down on me
Shine your light so I can see
Shine your light
Shine your light
Shine your light take away the night
Shine your light down on me
Shine your light so I can see
Shine your light take away the night
Shine your light oh oh shine your light
Shine your light
I see so many things I missed before
I found a message outside my door
It said dear child there's something more
I designed it, you can find it
It's so much bigger than you can see

i am your friend
[Go to Song Page]
[Sung by Sarah Finch-Norman]
I am your friend
When others you have trusted in are gone
When you need a helping hand to carry on
I am your friend
When the troubles of the day can make you tired
When they leave you feeling low and uninspired
I am your friend
You have a rare and special sight
Sometimes you see too much
You take the burdens on your back
And the many hearts you touch can leave you broken
But your pain is left unspoken
I am your friend
I have a love that wants to let you know
There's a shelter from the stormy winter cold
I am your friend
And though you might forget I'll still be here
Through your highest dreams and through your deepest fears
I am your friend
I am your friend
[Sung by Sarah Finch-Norman]

danger in loving you
[Go to Song Page]
The deeper I go the more I know nothing's ever as it seems
So I turn the page and take another look
A mighty raging river grows from a tiny stream
The earth was formed, a single word was all it took
Wind of the spirit is whispering through the night
Fire of judgement is burning clear and bright
You said it long ago and now I know it's true
There's a danger in loving you
The deeper I go the more I know why you said to count the cost
You never make a promise you can't keep
The dearest of our treasure must be given up and lost
The seed must die before it's time to leap
The cycle will be broken on the truth he's sure to find
With joy and sorrow so closely intertwined
No wonder that this journey is taken by so few
Yeah there's danger in loving you
In loving you
In loving you
The deeper I go the more I know why the warrior stands alone
And the sleepers can't be bothered through the night
Because they're up inside their castle and behind their bricks and stone
And all they want is shelter from the fight
Oh yes but I could never choose to live so safely and content
I want to run the highest road before my life is spent
I know that you're beside me and you'll always see me through
Every danger
I'll never fear the danger
There is a joyous danger
In loving you, in loving you father
(Aah ah ah) In loving you pastor
(Aah ah ah) In loving you saviour
(Aah ah ah) In loving you
(Aah ah ah) In loving you
(Aah ah ah) You know I love you
(Aah ah ah) I may not show it all the time
(Aah ah ah) But I love you
(Aah ah ah) I love you (Hoy)
(Aah ah ah) Help me to love you (Hoy)
(Aah ah ah) Gee sweet love you (Hoy)
(Aah ah ah) Make me love you more on each day (Hoy)
(Aah ah ah) Help me not to run and go my own way (Hoy)
(Aah ah ah) Help me love you (Hoy)
(Aah ah ah) I want to love you (Hoy)
(Aah ah ah) (Hoy) [x7]

iron and steel
[Go to Song Page]
Something brings us life when buried in the earth
Deep inside the dark solid ground
Something in the way that love has given birth
With fire flying all around
Iron and steel, strike it together
Iron and steel, see what is made
Iron and steel, sharp and shining
Metal on metal, like a cutting blade
Ooh ooh yeah
It's so nice when we're seeing eye to eye
When in everything we both agree
But differences will happen no matter how we try
And maybe this is meant to be
Iron and steel, strike it together
Iron and steel, see what is made
Iron and steel, sharp and shining
Metal on metal, like a cutting blade
Tested in the furnace
Buried in the burning coal
It's like it's pounded, beaten
Rhythm of a hammer load
Woah oh
One day we'll be cleansed of all impurity
And we'll be nothing like we were before
We'll be tested for the fight and take the victory
Like weapons in a holy war
Iron and steel, strike it together
Iron and steel, see what is made
Iron and steel, it's sharp and shining
Metal on metal on metal, it's just like cutting blade
(Iron and steel) Woh-oh strike it together
(Iron and steel) Strike it together
(Iron and steel) Strike it together
(Iron and steel) Strike it together
(Iron and steel) Strike it together, strike it together
(Iron and steel) Strike it, strike it, strike it, strike it
(Iron and steel) Iron sharpens iron, so does a friend
(Iron and steel) Sharpen the friendship of another friend
(Iron and steel) If you'll be true and honest and open hearted
(Iron and steel) You'll be friends till the end
(Iron and steel) Why can't we get along
(Iron and steel) Everything we do is criticise
(Iron and steel) Everything I do seems to be wrong
(Iron and steel) At least the way you're looking through your eyes
(Iron and steel) Friend to friend, what's happened, what's happened
(Iron and steel) What happened to our friendship brother
Iron and steel, You say you love me I can see it in your eyes
(Iron and steel) That your smiling face is a shallow disguise
(Iron and steel) Iron and steel
(Iron and steel) Like iron sharpens iron brother
(Iron and steel) What happened
(Iron and steel) What happened to our friendship brother
(Iron and steel) What happened to our friendship brother
(Iron and steel) Brother you should tell me 'cos I don't know
(Iron and steel) You disappeared, where did you go
(Iron and steel) Oh-oh-oh iron and steel
(Iron and steel) It don't feel good the way I think it should
(Iron and steel) Iron and steel, iron and steel, iron and steel, you've got to strike it together
(Iron and steel) Iron and steel, iron and steel
Something brings us life when buried in the earth
Deep inside the dark solid ground
Something in the way that love has given birth
With fire flying all around
Iron and steel, strike it together
Iron and steel, see what is made

(Iron and steel) Iron and steel, iron and steel, iron and steel, you've got to strike it together
(Iron and steel) Iron and steel, iron and steel
show me the shepherd
[Go to Song Page]
Show me the shepherd
I hear his calling
This mountain's steep and rough
And I'm afraid of falling
I need to know that he
Is keeping watch and guiding me
So show me, show me the shepherd
Show me the shepherd
There's so much danger
I want to know him well
No longer be a stranger
I'm making it my choice
To hear his call and know his voice
So show me, show me the shepherd
There was a time I thought that I could make it
Make it on my own
But I was wrong, I was such a fool
To think I could live alone
I wanna find my way back home
Find my way back home
Oh oh so show, you've got to show me the shepherd
Because I want to serve him
I've played the rebel's part
And I know I don't deserve him
But I've begun to see how he can live his life in me
I wanna serve him now in liberty
I'm ready to see
So show me, show me the shepherd
Please show me, show me the shepherd
Show me the shepherd
I hear his calling
This mountain's steep and rough
And I'm afraid of falling
I need to know that he
Is keeping watch and guiding me
So show me, show me the shepherd
Show me the shepherd
There's so much danger
I want to know him well
No longer be a stranger
I'm making it my choice
To hear his call and know his voice
So show me, show me the shepherd
There was a time I thought that I could make it
Make it on my own
But I was wrong, I was such a fool
To think I could live alone
I wanna find my way back home
Find my way back home
Oh oh so show, you've got to show me the shepherd
Because I want to serve him
I've played the rebel's part
And I know I don't deserve him
But I've begun to see how he can live his life in me
I wanna serve him now in liberty
I'm ready to see
So show me, show me the shepherd
Please show me, show me the shepherd
strong love
[Go to Song Page]
Well I found a higher view
Oh oh of what your love can do
My heart was locked in a prison cell
My thoughts were drawn from a bitter well
You tripped the lock and you broke the spell
(Strong love) Turn me around
(Strong love) I'm back on solid ground
(Strong love) And good living is found in the shelter of your strong love
Mmm hmm hmm
When you set me free
You gave your guarantee
I'll never be so lost again
A home awaits me at my journey's end
I found my life when I found my friend
(Strong love) Turn me around
(Strong love) I'm back on solid ground
(Strong love) Good living is found in the shelter of your strong love
Life's an old familiar theme
An old familiar line
But there's one big difference now
You've made your strong love mine
Inside I know
That this love is gonna grow
So throwing off my worn out plans
And taking hold of your loving hand
I find my place and I take my stand
(Strong love) Turn me around
(Strong love) I'm back on solid ground
(Strong love) You know good loving and good living is found in the shelter of your love
(Strong love) In the shelter of your strong love
(Strong love) In the shelter of your strong love yeah [x2]

whenever sarah cries
[Go to Song Page]
Lover, parted and gone
But longing questions linger on
Like what's a promise for
An empty thought that she can't ignore
'Til it fades away and dies
Lost in the language of her sighs
Whenever Sarah cries
Heartache hiding away
Longing glances tears betray, oh-oh-oh
It's such an old routine
Stay on top of the daily scene
And she fights against the lies
Breaking the shell of her disguise
Whenever Sarah cries
Why'd he reach for her hand and then never take it
Oh oh
Why'd he reach for her heart when he knew he'd only break it
When he knew he'd rather make it on his own
Leaving her alone
Oh keep her, hold her in your hand
Guide her, help her understand
And give her heart a song
Give her freedom to carry on
Let your morning sun arise
Chasing the sadness from her eyes
Whenever Sarah cries
Whenever Sarah cries
Lover, parted and gone
But longing questions linger on
Like what's a promise for
An empty thought that she can't ignore
'Til it fades away and dies
Lost in the language of her sighs
Whenever Sarah cries
Heartache hiding away
Longing glances tears betray, oh-oh-oh
It's such an old routine
Stay on top of the daily scene
And she fights against the lies
Breaking the shell of her disguise
Whenever Sarah cries
Why'd he reach for her hand and then never take it
Oh oh
Why'd he reach for her heart when he knew he'd only break it
When he knew he'd rather make it on his own
Leaving her alone
Oh keep her, hold her in your hand
Guide her, help her understand
And give her heart a song
Give her freedom to carry on
Let your morning sun arise
Chasing the sadness from her eyes
Whenever Sarah cries
Whenever Sarah cries
Labor Of Love
where his soul touches down
[Go to Song Page]
He grew up in the north land, a child who'd like most
Packed his belongings and headed for the coast
Ended his journey in a sleepy seaside town
Thinking he'd landed where his soul touches down
He met a sweet young lady in his twentieth year
Bold with his promises and hiding every fear
A rented tuxedo and a white satin gown
Never a thought to where his soul touches down
Sometimes he cries in the night 'cos he's lonely
And he cries for the life that might have been
And then he lies to himself and says he only wants his freedom
Attachments, he don't need 'em
He's a wild seed carried by the wind
He grew up in the north land, as much as people grow
Caught in the current, he surrounded to the flow
He knows he's lost now and he's in search of higher ground
He's looking to find his place, he's looking to end this chase
And to come to where his soul touches down
To where his soul touches down
He grew up in the north land, a child who'd like most
Packed his belongings and headed for the coast
Ended his journey in a sleepy seaside town
Thinking he'd landed where his soul touches down
He met a sweet young lady in his twentieth year
Bold with his promises and hiding every fear
A rented tuxedo and a white satin gown
Never a thought to where his soul touches down
Sometimes he cries in the night 'cos he's lonely
And he cries for the life that might have been
And then he lies to himself and says he only wants his freedom
Attachments, he don't need 'em
He's a wild seed carried by the wind
He grew up in the north land, as much as people grow
Caught in the current, he surrounded to the flow
He knows he's lost now and he's in search of higher ground
He's looking to find his place, he's looking to end this chase
And to come to where his soul touches down
To where his soul touches down

One three, one two three [Spoken]
Well we're all travelling on a journey
Born to find our native land
Like a scattered tribe returning
We're tracing the ancient path
And leaving the desert sand
We found the highway few have taken
Winding up the mountain side
Other roads must be forsaken
Crossing the great divide
To live on the other side
And farther on the night will come
We'll struggle on through the rain
But we know the morning brings the sun
Lighting our way again
Someone has walked this road before
Someone who knows the way
And with every mile we trust him more
Following day by day
Though the rocky road gets steeper
We will never turn around
Jesus is our guide and keeper
Sharing his love we've found
That we are travelling homeward bound
A friend we can lean upon
Is leading us farther on
He's taking us home
We don't never need to be alone
We're all travelling on a journey
We'll never be returning
Farther on now
Travelling on
Travelling, travelling, travelling, travelling on now
We take the highway up through the sky
We take the highway, we're gonna fly
Take the highway
Going home
To lead us home
To lead us home
To lead us on home
I ain't afraid
I know the saviour
I ain't afraid
I know the Lord
He is my friend
I know the Lord
One three, one two three [Spoken]

mansion on the sand
[Go to Song Page]
I built a mansion on the sand
It turned out just the way I planned
It stood so tall and looked so grand
On the outside
I put up fences all around
Felt so secure until I found
That I had built on shifting ground
Then the rains came
The walls gave way and crumbled in the flood
The lightning tore away the thin facade
And I watched, I watched in desperation
And I cried out in the night
My mansion's gone
Oh my mansion is gone, no
Someone approached and said I should
Seek out the man who works with wood
His work is solid and has stood the test of time
When I recovered from the shock
I looked him up to have a talk
He said you've gotta build on rock to make it lasting
Now the foundation's deep and long
The walls ain't pretty but they're strong
I get the feeling I belong right here forever
Wo-oh wo-ah oh oh
Wo-oh wo-ye-oh
Ooh wo-oh wo-ah-ye-ooh
Ooh-aah [x4]

higher calling
[Go to Song Page]
A woman came knocking on my front door just the other day
She said piano man, come on and take my hand and we can laugh the night away
Well my heart then kind of hardened but I refused to bargain
I said no deal and I sent her on her way
I said
I got a higher calling and that's the path I choose
I got a higher calling and much too much to lose
I'm a servant of the king and that's the reason why I sing
My soul is gonna cling to a higher calling
Oh-oh ooh ooh
Well I'm friends with a clever agent out near Hollywood
He said minimise your christian emphasis and you'll be doing good
He said financially you're broke and your music is a joke
So then I told him about my goal, don't think he understood
I told him
I got a higher calling and that's the path I choose
I got a higher calling and I got much too much to lose
And I'm a servant of the king and that's the reason why I sing
My soul is gonna cling to the higher calling
There's nothing can compare
With living in God's care
You can take the pleasure with the pain
'Cos a better life is there
My manager said he had a plan to increase my fee
We could overcharge on the airfares, well it sounded fine to me
But then I changed my mind and chose the other
'Cos it's like stealing from your brother
Yeah this is what my conscience said to me
It said huh
I got a higher calling and that's the path I choose
I got a higher calling and I got much too much to lose
I'm a servant of the king and that's the reason why I sing

jesus is the song
[Go to Song Page]
Jesus is the song inside of me
An ever gentle flow of harmony
At once familiar and new
The word is constant and it's true
Though the melody may be ever changing
Just like the ocean shines in the noon day sun
And later it fades into the night
When the day is done
We do the same thing
We let him fade from our eyes
His song gets buried in our cries
And in fear we come to hear only silence
Wo-oh wo oh oh
I wanna be real
Through it all I know that he is there
He's waiting in the stillness of our prayers
And he will come, he comes to answer our cries
He will restore the colours to our eyes
And will keep us living deep in his knowing
I wanna be real
I just wanna be real
Jesus is the song in my heart
Never changing

The blue Pacific on a summer's day
Rushing in to meet the yellow sand
The view's terrific, I see Monterrey
Looking mighty fine from where I stand
The water dances in the sun's reflection
A thousand silver birds are flying my direction
Now isn't this beauty and ain't this sweet perfection
And it's one more reason to praise your name
One more reason to love you father
The sky is singing, the earth proclaims
Always one more reason to praise your name
I climbed the mountain to see your face
And saw a golden sunset in the sky
It's always different but still the same
And when I take it in it's then I realise
It's like the feeling of loving you
It's always changing but always true
Old as time, yet ever new and right before my eyes
I'm seeing one more reason to praise your name
One more reason to love you father
The sky is singing, the earth proclaims
Always one more reason to praise your name
From the dawn to the setting of the sun
I look around at everything you've done
You are the lord of heaven, you're the lord of the earth
You are the father of the mountains and the sea
And through your spirit we have a second birth
And in your place you've made a place for me
I look ahead but I don't ever look behind
I know that I'm a part of your grand design
And now and always I know I'm gonna find
One more reason to praise your name
One more reason to love you father
The sky is singing, the earth proclaims
Always one more reason
I can praise you for every thing you've done
I can praise you for making me your son
But the greatest praise by far is praising who you are
(Yahweh)
One more reason to praise your name
One more reason to love you father
The sky is singing, the earth proclaims
Always one more reason
Never out of season
Always one more reason to praise your name
(One more reason to praise your name) One more reason
(One more reason to love you father) Oh always one
(One more reason to praise your name) More reason I must praise

Street Level
first day in church
[Go to Song Page]
The first time that I went to church was on a Sunday morning
An’ from what I’d heard I figured I’d spend me whole time yawning
At eighteen years of age or so I thought I knew it all
Me hair was long, me jeans were tight. I loved a knife or buckle fight
Providing mates stood left and right and those we fought were small
But me mates and me we’d never been, so off to church we filed
We marched inside ‘bout three abreast, straight down the middle aisle
Ah some of us were smoking cigs, Ron was sucking candies
We sat in what they called a pew, then looked around to see just who would come inside
Let me tell you, everyone dressed like dandies
An’ the row behind was full o’ dames, you shoulda seen their looks
And one old dear, she gave me a smile and offered me some books
Ta! We opened them, passed them round, you shoulda seen the words
All set out like poetry is, the words put us in a tizz
And Fred says through his lemon fizz, these books is for the birds
Shhhhhh tchtchtchtchtchtch…..one old lady says, and the whole place buzzed
And Sam turns and says, oh do hush up, you make more noise than us
An’ we looked around the building then, it really was revealing
Sam says, hey mates, I get the score, there ain’t no carpets on the floor
An' see the rafters, they’re so poor they can’t afford a ceiling
Can’t afford electric either, using candles everywhere
Hey, coloured windows like me granny’s, at the bottom of her stairs
Shut your face I says to Sammy, I’m for listening, so is Ron
Then from the left without a noise, came a line of little boys
And Sam says in a puzzled voice, coo they’ve all got nighties on
Ah well then, then came men in robes and banners
Look at that one, must be queer
Then they dare condemn us for the way we choose our gear
Aye, and then there’s the minister, you know whose job’s to preach
The minister what’s his name
Those real long prayers and what he preaches, sounds just about the same
Ah, I came to church to listen, close, but I can’t dig the chat
Ah, he’s like [mumble] shifting sinking sand
And words like, ah judgement and reprimand
Well me and me mates don’t understand a language quite like that
I’m used to talking with me mates in words that have a meaning
But that there church was just about the weirdest place I’ve been in
If people like that kind of stuff, well let them, that’s ok
But let me tell you what I feel
I feel we need someone who’ll deal in words and thoughts
And things that’s real, I’d listen to what he’d say
Me mum once said, son, Jesus came to help young men like you
But Jesus came so long ago mum, an’ I don’t think it’s true
But is there someone here who can explain to me right now
Is Christ a myth, a madman’s whim
Em, some say that Christ can cure our sin
Is there a way to contact him, or will I die not knowing how
Listen, I only came to church to see if they could offer hope
But everything that happened there was way outside my scope
You know like afterwards, outside, there was a beggar on the grass
He held his hand out to the people, they’d smile, then they’d pass
I’m sure he reached for something real, for something more than cash
He begged them for a little cheer, an’ they all pretended not to hear
I get the message loud and clear
Church is middle class

The word is revolution
But no one’s fired the shot
Each side has its battle plans
A million counterplots
And the world is closely watching
As we near the battle line
But if you’re truly wise
You’ll keep your eyes on Palestine
The water is polluted
And the air is filled with death
And some day it won’t be easy
To stop and catch your breath
It’s all in Revelations
It’s part of the design
And if you’re truly wise
You’ll keep your eyes on Palestine

I marched for peace in Washington
And things were getting hot
Mmm mmm, I gave blood in Chicago
Went anaemic on the spot

right here in america
[Go to Song Page]
There are christians in Russia, they meet underground
In China they're killed when they're found
And in Cuba the christians live up in the hills
Because it’s not safe in the town
And to think it might happen right here in America
I know you think it’s not true
But it’s happening to christians right here in America
Wait till it happens to you
The christians in Berkeley are passing out bibles and food to the hungry
They're hoping to help out the people this way
But there are threats on the lives of their leaders and wives
They're not welcome to stay
And to think it might happen right here in America
Maybe you think it’s not true
If you think it’s not happening right here in America
Wait till it happens to you
There's an underground church and it’s following Jesus
And hoping to meet people's needs
But we don't have the time to build nice little churches
Besides we don't need to
We're holding our church in the streets
And we are passing out leaflets and underground pamphlets
From Buffalo to Monterey
And we're talking ‘bout Jesus and all of a sudden
We're arrested and taken away
So I ask you America, where do you stand
Your people are starving, they're beaten and they're raped
And they're dying in jail cells, so what are your plans
I'm not talking to congress or you politicians
Or panthers or muslims or Nixon or Birch
I'm addressing this song to the church
Cause I've been in your churches and sat in your pews
And heard sermons on just how much money you'll need for the year
And I've heard you make reference to Mexicans, Chinamen, niggers and Jews
And I gather you wish we would all disappear
And you call yourselves christians when really you're not
You're living your life as you please
If you're really a christian then put down yourself
And follow wherever God leads
I'm not talking religion, I'm talking ‘bout Jesus
Put all your plans on the shelf
Let's stop marching for peace and start marching for Jesus
And peace will take care of its self
Well I pray that we christians will get off our sofas
And stand up for what we believe
The time is too short and Christ is returning
We'd better get ready to leave
We who are christians should turn on the light
So the truth will shine bright as the day
Jesus will come like a thief in the night
And he'll steal all who love him away
There are christians in Russia, they meet underground
In China they're killed when they're found
And in Cuba the christians live up in the hills
Because it’s not safe in the town
And to think it might happen right here in America
I see you shaking your heads
And I hear you saying it just can't be true
But it's happened to me right here in America
Wait till it happens to you
There are christians in Russia, they meet underground
In China they're killed when they're found
And in Cuba the christians live up in the hills

And in Cuba the christians live up in the hills
Because it’s not safe in the town
And to think it might happen right here in America
I see you shaking your heads
And I hear you saying it just can't be true
But it's happened to me right here in America
Wait till it happens to you
i wish we'd all been ready
[Go to Song Page]
Life was filled with guns and war
And everyone got trampled on the floor
I wish we’d all been ready
Children died, the days grew cold
A piece of bread could buy a bag of gold
I wish we’d all been ready
There’s no time to change your mind
The son has come
And you’ve been left behind
A man and wife asleep in bed
She hears a noise and turns her head, he’s gone
I wish we’d all been ready
Two men walking up a hill
One disappears and one’s left standing still
I wish we’d all been ready
There’s no time to change your mind
The son has come
And you’ve been left behind
La la la la la la la
La-la la la la la la
Ah da na-ah-ah
Life was filled with guns and war
And everyone got trampled on the floor
I wish we’d all been ready
Children died, the days grew cold
A piece of bread could buy a bag of gold
I wish we’d all been ready
There’s no time to change your mind
How could you have been so blind
The father spoke, the demons dined
The son has come
An' you’ve been left behind
You’ve been left behind [x4]
Ah. Hallelujah [Spoken, by compere]
Life was filled with guns and war
And everyone got trampled on the floor
I wish we’d all been ready

Got a room, took a shower

she's a dancer
[Go to Song Page]
She’s a dancer in the garden
And she dances with the flowers
In the early morning hours
When the wind shifts
And the fog drifts
She’s a dancer
She’s a dancer and she knows it
Everywhere she goes she shows it
Condescending
Not pretending
No regretting
No forgetting
She’s a dancer
And on my early morning walks I often find her
I sit pretending that I’m looking at the paper
Ooh-ooh
And on my early morning walks I often find her
I sit pretending that I’m looking at the paper
Ooh-ooh
And when people stop to watch her
She pretends she doesn’t see them
Doesn’t need them
And where she goes
There the wind blows
Though it’s only with the flowers
That she dances
And on my early morning walks I often find her
I sit pretending that (I sit there) I’m looking at the paper
Ooh-ooh
She’s a dancer in the garden
And she dances with the flowers
In the early morning hours
When the wind shifts
And the fog drifts
She’s a dancer
She’s a dancer and she knows it
Everywhere she goes she shows it
Condescending
Not pretending
No regretting
No forgetting
She’s a dancer
And on my early morning walks I often find her
I sit pretending that I’m looking at the paper
Ooh-ooh
And on my early morning walks I often find her
I sit pretending that I’m looking at the paper
Ooh-ooh
And when people stop to watch her
She pretends she doesn’t see them
Doesn’t need them
And where she goes
There the wind blows
Though it’s only with the flowers
That she dances
And on my early morning walks I often find her
I sit pretending that (I sit there) I’m looking at the paper
Ooh-ooh

the price of living
[Go to Song Page]
One two oomph [Spoken]
The price of living's going up today
And costs are at an all-time high
I hold my head 'cause so am I
It's getting hard to find a place to stay
It’s overcrowded and it’s dirty, yes it is
And I don't want to sleep with thirty other kids
This isn't living, I feel like giving up
But if I'm strong, I'll get along
Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday
It’s another week
Life goes on, even for a freak
Life is rough but I'll make it through
Me, I'm tough, I know what to do
The price of living's going up today
And costs are at an all-time high
I hold my head 'cause so am I
Ba ba baa-a-ah

bArchaeology boxsets included a number of paper items in addition to the LPs. As can be seen from these two images, these items could vary quite significantly. Probably most copies included a large 1977 world tour poster
