Looking for a sound that's going to drown out the world (Been around the back...been around the front) Looking for the father of my two little girls (Been around the back...been around the front) Got the swing got the sway got my straw in lemonade (Been around the back...been around the front) Still looking for the face I had before the world was made (Been around the back...been around the front)

Born in the night She would run like a leopard That freaks at the sight Of a mind close beside herself And the nearer I came How the country would change She was using the landscape To hide herself.
More in the mind Than the body this feeling A sense at the end Of a circular line That is drawn at an angle I see when I'm with you To navigate waters and finally answer to- yes .
If you could see all the roads I have traveled Towards some unusable last equilibrium Run like an athlete and die like a dead beaten speed-freak An answer to all of your answers to- yes

In the day we sweat it out in the streets of a runaway American dream At night we ride through mansions of glory in suicide machines Sprung from cages out on highway 9, Chrome wheeled, fuel injected and steppin' out over the line Baby this town rips the bones from your back It's a death trap, it's a suicide rap We gotta get out while we're young `Cause tramps like us, baby we were BORN to run

Last night I was walking through the harbour Where the fishing boats are lying on the shore, The news had travelled fast and everyone went to be Where the mayor was making a speech, And the crowd started cheering When he talked about the glory of it all, And the boys coming home from the war.
Last night, they were dancing in the streets And making music in the alleyways and bars, From a house down in the old town came the sound of guitars, Margarita was waiting inside, With her long black hair hanging down beneath the red light, And she smiled, for the boys coming home from the war, The boys coming home from the war.
And they said we were heroes, they said we were fine, We were kings in command, we had God on our side, And we said that nothing will make us change in any way, Since yesterday, we're just the same Since yesterday, nothing has changed Since yesterday, we're just the same But I can feel there's this new kind of hunger inside, To be satisfied, I saw it there last night

Lying in my bed I hear the clock tick and think of you Caught up in circles, confusion is nothing new Flashback, warm nights, almost left behind Suitcases of memories, time after time

"Hasta manana 'til we meet again Don't know where, don't know when Darling, our love was much too strong to die We'll find a way to face a new tomorrow Hasta manana, say we'll meet again I can't do without you Time to forget, send me a letter Say you forgive, the sooner the better Hasta manana, baby, hasta manana, until then..."

It was meant to be a holiday Building castles by the sea Another way to live for you and me Time to pause, consider what we've done The wind is blowing, so come, let's take a holiday.
Sail on, Sail on across the sea Ride the waves, feel the breeze Sail on , there's no other way I'd rather be.

Baby's black balloon makes her fly I almost fell into that hole in your life And you're not thinking about tomorrow 'Cause you were the same as me But on your knees
A thousand other boys could never reach you How could I have been the one I saw the world spin beneath you And scatter like ice from the spoon That was your womb--

I get a feelin', lost without you baby, livin' alone is drivin' me crazy. Don't you know, I've got nowhere to go? You should be the one that's hurtin', you got everything you need.
Back in the days when love was so easy. I was fancy free and laughin' with no reason. Things have changed, your touch has grown strange. I can't help myself I know that, you have left me dyin' here.

Home is where I want to be But I guess I'm already there I come home, she lifted up her wings I guess that this must be the place
I can't tell one from another Did I find you or you find me? There was a time before we were born If someone asks this is where I'll be
Oh, we drift in and out Oh, sing into my mouth Out of all those kinds of people You've got a place with a view I'm just an animal looking for a home and Share the same space for a minute or two And you love me 'til my heart stops Love me 'til I'm dead Eyes that light up, eyes look through you Cover up the blank spots, hit me on the head...

We're talking away I don't know what I'm to say I'll say it anyway Today's another day to find you Shying away I'll be coming for your love, OK?
Take on me, take me on I'll be gone In a day or two
So needless to say I'm odds and ends But that's me stumbling away Slowly learning that life is OK. Say after me It's no better to be safe than sorry
Take on me, take me on I'll be gone In a day or two

Day by day Whistle while you work Our backs are breaking Up from hollow earth From end to end, the noise begins In the human battle stations, And the big one's coming in
work, work, work, work, work 'til holes are filled work, work, work, work bags of bones and skin lovers hold hands, tossing their heads tangled in hair tied to earth with skin and glue

Just whistle while you work And cheerfully together we can tidy up the place So hum a merry tune It won't take long when there's a song to help you set the pace

A long, long time ago In a galxy far away Naboo was under an attack
And I thought me and Qui-Goon Jinn could talk the Federation in to maybe cutting them a little slack
But their response It did not thrill us They locked the door and tried to kill us We escaped from that gas And met Jar-Jar and Boss Nass We took a bongo from the scene and we went to Theed to see the queen we all wound up on Tatooine
That's where we found this boy
Oh, my my this here Anakin guy, Maybe Vader someday later now he's just a small fry He left his home and kissed his mommy goodbye saying soon I'm gonna be a Jedi saying soon I'm gonna be a Jedi
Did you know this junkyard slave Isn't even old enough to shave, but he can use the force they say Ohhh, do you see him hitting on the queen though he's just nine and she 14 Yeah he's probly gonna marry her, SOOOOOMEDay Well, I know he built C-3PO and I Heard how fast his pod can go And we were broke it's true so we made a wager or two Ooooh, he was a prepubescent flying ace and the minute Jabba started off that race Well, I knew who would win first place, Oh yes, it was our boy We started singing
Oh, my my this here Anakin guy, Maybe Vader someday later now he's just a small fry He left his home and kissed his mommy goodbye saying soon I'm gonna be a Jedi saying soon I'm gonna be a Jedi
Well, we took him back to Coruscant the Jedi counsel we knew would want to see how good the boy could be. So we took him there and we told the tale How his midichlorians were off the scale and he might fulfill that prophecy Well the counsel was impressed of course Could he bring balance to the Force They interviewed the kid But training they forbid Because Yoda sensed in him much fear Qui-Gonn said "Now listen hear, just stick it in your pointy ear, I still will teach this boy" He started singing
Oh, my my this here Anakin guy, Maybe Vader someday later now he's just a small fry He left his home and kissed his mommy goodbye saying soon I'm gonna be a Jedi saying soon I'm gonna be a Jedi
Well, we caught a ride back to Naboo Cause Queen Amidala wanted to I frankly would have liked to stay And in the end some Gungans died Some ships blew up and some pilots fried A lot of folks were croakin' The Battle droids were broken And the Jedi I admire most met up with Darth Maul and now he's toast I'm still here and he's a ghost I guess I'll train that boy
Oh, my my this here Anakin guy, Maybe Vader someday later now he's just a small fry He left his home and kissed his mommy goodbye saying soon I'm gonna be a Jedi saying soon I'm gonna be a Jedi
Oh, my my this here Anakin guy, Maybe Vader someday later now he's just a small fry He left his home and kissed his mommy goodbye saying soon I'm gonna be a Jedi saying soon I'm gonna be a Jedi

But now another stranger seems to want you to ignore his dreams as though they were the burden of some other O you've seen that man before his golden arm dispatching cards but now it's rusted from the elbow to the finger And he wants to trade the game he plays for shelter Yes he wants to trade the game he knows for shelter.

Well, the railway man he cut the cards And dealt them each a hand of five And for the Lord he was praying hard Or that train he'd have to ride The Devil, he had three aces and a king And the Lord, he was running for a straight He had the queen, the knave the nine and ten of spades All he needed was the eight But when he called for one more card He drew the diamond eight! And the Devil said to the Son of God "I believe you've got a straight So deal me one, for the time has come To see who'll be the king of this place!" But As he spoke, from beneath his cloak, He slipped another ace! Ten thousand souls was the opening bid And it soon went up to sixty five But the Lord didn't see what the Devil had done And he said, "That suits me fine. I'll raise you high To a hundred and five, and forever put an end to your sins!" But the Devil let out a mighty shout: "My hand wins!"
-The middle section of Chris de Burgh's "Spanish Train"
And then sweeping up the jokers that he left behind you find he did not leave you very much not even laughter Like any dealer he was watching for the card that is so high and wild he'll never need to deal another

Ah, the moon's too bright The chain's too tight The beast won't go to sleep I've been running through these promises to you That I made and I could not keep Ah, but a man never got a woman back Not by begging on his knees Or I'd crawl to you baby And I'd fall at your feet And I'd howl at your beauty Like a dog in heat And I'd claw at your heart And I'd tear at your sheet I'd say please, please I'm your man
