It's time to come away,
my Darling Pretty
It's time to come away
on the changing tide
Time to come away, Darling
Pretty
And I need you darling
by my side
Heal me with a smile,
Darling Pretty
Heal me with a smile
and a heart of gold
Carry me awhile, my Darling
Pretty
Heal my aching heart
and soul
Just like a castaway
Lost upon an endless
sea
I saw you far away
Come to rescue me
Cast away the chains,
Darling Pretty
Cast away the chains
away behind
Take away my pain, my
Darling Pretty
And the chains that once
were yours and mine
There will come a day,
Darling Pretty
There will come a day
when hearts can fly
Love will find a way,
my Darling Pretty
Find a heaven for you
and I
Love will find a way,
my Darling Pretty
Find a heaven for you
and I
She's going shopping for
shoes
She wants them in magenta
and Caribbean blue
Platinum and buttercup
lilac and black
They fill a bucket up
and laugh behind her back
Imelda baby Imelda baby
what to do
All the poor people saying
that they gotta quit paying for you
In New York and Paris
on the Champs Elysée
They see her coming from
a long way
They clap their hands
together when they get her in their store
She's gonna wanna get
more more more and more and more
Imelda baby Imelda baby
what to do
All the poor people saying
that they gotta quit paying for you
Everyone's gone Jackie
O
She was a regular here
We thought madame would
like to know
We've got the blood red
rouge right here
Now we've got all of madame's
requisites and all in madame's size
Madame's taste is truly
exquisite she must accessorise
The belts are alligator
the bags are kangaroo
Enchanté may I
say the jade was made for you
Imelda baby Imelda baby
what to do
All the poor people saying
that they gotta quit paying for you
Imelda baby Imelda baby
what to do
All the poor people saying
that they gotta quit paying for you
She was swinging by the
bangles in a main street store
A while before we met
The most dangerous angels
that you ever saw
She spied her amulet
And she took a loop of
leather for around her neck
And that was then the
start
The most dangerous lady
on her quarter deck
She found her Golden
Heart
You found your Golden
Heart
Then we swirled around
each other and the thread was spun
to some Arcadian band
I would stop it from
swinging like a pendulum
Just to hold time in
my hand
And you shot me with a
cannonball of history
And long forgotten art
I'd be turning it over
as our words ran free
I'd hold your Golden
Heart
I'd hold your Golden
Heart
Nothing in the world prepared
me for you, your heart, your heart
Nothing in the world
that I love more your heart, your heart
Your Golden Heart
And every time I'm thinking
of you from a distant shore
And all the time I sleep
I will have a reminder
that my baby wore
A part of you to keep
And I'll send you all
my promises across the sea
And while we are apart
I will carry the wonder
that you gave to me
I'll wear your Golden
Heart
I'll wear your Golden
Heart
Nothing in the world prepared
me for you, your heart, your heart
Nothing in the world
that I love more your heart, your heart
Your Golden Heart
Skint in a material world
I did a warehouse stint
for southsea girl
It was Hong Kong clothes
for cash
Everybody got treated
worse than trash
Punch the card in the
company clock
Load the trolleys and
the company trucks
And around and around
the whole day through
And you couldn't sit
down when there was nothing to do
Well they had beaten up
people from every land
Fools like me trying
to be in bands
A little French girl
so good to me
But I couldn't love her
back so lonely
A backpacker travelling
through
A lumberjack with the
travelling blues
We had worn out shoes
and worn out cuffs
And big ideas that were
never big enough
He said the man wants
you go wash his car
Hey you I'm talking to
you
I said me, not me uh
uh
No can do
No can can do no can
No can can do no can
Now some were grown up
unlike
me
And were dealing with
reality
I was spittin' sulkin'
smokin' shirkin'
While a lady from Jamaica
was singing and working
I had everyone but me
to blame
And every day was just
the same
Well nobody ever said
it was a righteous world
But if they did they
never said it at southsea girl
He said the man wants
you go wash his car
Hey you I'm talking to
you
I said me, not me uh
uh
No can do
No can can do no can
No can can do no can
Well I've made my bed
on peoples floors
Opened up and closed
some doors
Dreamed that if my dreams
came true
Then I wouldn't do what
I didn't want to
Walking through the gates
to the outside
To dream some dreams
that never died
And I walked the streets
of London town
Looking for a place to
put my head down
A dirty motor with London
plates
Sitting in the gutter
outside your silent gates
Vic and Ray, Vic and
Ray
Vic and Ray, Vic and
Ray
Come to daddy baby, what
is it worth
Come to daddy, the scum
of the crying earth
Vic and Ray, Vic and
Ray
Vic and Ray, Vic and
Ray
Laughing at each other's
pain
They run the heater in
the morning rain
This'll pay the rent
around the world
Wanna buy a picture of
a girl
Christmas morning, there
they are
Two rent boys wishing
on a shining star
Vic and Ray, Vic and
Ray
Vic and Ray, Vic and
Ray

want to buy your car
Don't you get it I don't
want to buy it
Don't you get it I don't

My lady may I have this
dance
Forgive a knight who
knows no shame
My lady may I have this
dance
And lady may I have your
name
You danced upon a soldier's
arm
And I felt the blade
of love so keen
And when you smiled you
did me harm
And I was drawn to you,
my Queen
Now these boots may take
me where they will
Though they may never
shine like his
There is no knight I
would not kill
To have my lady's hand
to kiss
Yes and they did take
me through the hall
To leave me not one breath
from you
And they fell silent
one and all
And you could see my
heart was true
Then I did lead you from
the hall
And we did ride upon
the hill
Away beyond the city
wall
And sure you are my lady
still
A night in summer long
ago
The stars were falling
from the sky
And still, my heart,
I have to know
Why do you love me, lady,
why?
Well he's daddy's little
boy he plays with his toys
He holds on to his daddy's
hand
His daddy says sonny
you're a big strong boy
You're gonna be a big
strong man
And they go play catch
they go play ball
They go take a walk along
the sand
Big strong daddy and
a big strong boy
Living in a big strong
land
Daddy is he a goodie or
a baddie
Daddy can I have a dinosaur
Once upon a time there
were cannibals
Now there are no cannibals
any more
Down in Louisiana there's
a hurricane coming
The little boy climbs
the stairs
And all along the levee
all the people come running
And the little boy's
saying his prayers
And a sleepy little laddie
smiles up at his daddy
And he's asking for his
G.I. Joe
And daddy tucks him in
with a kiss upon the chin
And says my little one
I love you so
Daddy is he a goodie or
a baddie
Leave the light outside
the door
Once upon a time thre
were cannibals
Now there are no cannibals
any more
Lay down your head now
don't get out of bed
Don't you let the bedbugs
bite
It's time to sleep now
not another peep
And I'll see you in the
morning light
And then the radio was
playing and the weatherman was saying
The hurricane had blown
away
And daddy's little boy
was jumping up for joy
And he was singing at
the break of day
Daddy is he a goodie or
a baddie
Daddy can I be a warrior
Once upon a time there
were cannibals
Now there are no cannibals
any more
Yeah daddy is he a goodie
or a baddie
Daddy why do people go
to war
Once upon a time there
were cannibals
Now there are no cannibals
any more
I never thought I'd be
the one
To be the raging bull
There'd always be a smoking
gun
Who'd up and lose his
cool
I never thought I'd have
to say
I'm sorry, my love, because
I'm the fool I never
Fool I never thought
I was
I left my dreams with
broken strings
It's time I learnt to
talk
Stop falling over things
Teach myself to walk
I'm not a superman
Or Mr. wonderful,
because I'm the fool
I never
Fool I never thought
I was
I'm the know it all
Trying to mend his broken
heart
But I don't know how
to call
And I don't know where
to start
Now if you should lose
your faith in me
I don't know where I'd
run
I hope you'll always
let me be
Your only one
Am I your one true love
Or am I too late for
your applause
I'm the fool I never
Fool I never thought
I was
Darling, I'm the fool
I never
Fool I never thought
I was
We are leaving, leaving
Leaving on the tide
Come and stand beside
me love
The water is so wide
You can hear the sailors
calling
At the dawning of the
day
Yesterday is falling,
love
And je suis désolé,
je suis désolé
Je suis désolé,
mais je n'ai pas le choix
Je suis désolé,
mais la vie me demande ça
I am turning, turning
From a land that I loved
well
Look ahead my darling
one
across the rolling swell
And you can hear the
seagulls crying
As we're slipping out
of the bay
Yesterday is dying, love
And je suis désolé,
je suis désolé
Je suis désolé,
mais je n'ai pas le choix
Je suis désolé,
mais la vie me demande ça
We are sailing, sailing
For a land that's proud
and free
I had no more endurance
For what had become of
me
And I will do that which
I must do, love
And now we're under way
All that I can say to
you
is je suis désolé
Je suis désolé,
mais je n'ai pas le choix
Je suis désolé,
mais la vie me demande ça
Je suis désolé,
mais je n'ai pas le choix
Je suis désolé,
mais la vie me demande ça
Rüdiger stands in
the rain and the snow
Collector of autographs
Names upon photographs
Faces of people who everyone
knows
Rüdiger lives in
a place on his own
Briefcase and spectacles
Strange and respectable
He knows the meaning
of being alone
Rüdiger works as
a clerk in the town
Music or politics
Rüdiger gets his
kicks
He gets information then
he comes around
Rüdiger waits at
the hall in Berlin
He waits there all night
Security's tight
They know who he is but
they don't let him in
Rüdiger waits in
the dark by the stair
His fingers are shaking
His feet they are aching
But your name's in the
paper so Rüdiger's there
Nobody's got the gun
Nobody's trying to get
the drop on anyone
Nobody's standing out
on main street
With the sun blazing
down
Saying "There's only
room for one of us in this here town"
Nobody's got the be the
number one
Nobody's got the gun
She may not understand
And she may want you
eating from her hand
If she's got you in a
corner
And you can smell the
smoke and flame
You reach for your revolver
To do the same
You'll blow your love
away forever, number one
Nobody's got the gun
You may think love is
hard enough
You may never get to
rehearse
And you can do without
this stuff
Making everything worse
She's just the same as
you
She needs your love just
like you want her to
You can't go playing
poker
With a pistol in your
sleeve
You can't make somebody
love you
By threatening to leave
If you want a love forever,
number one
Nobody's got the gun
We've paid in hell since
Moscow burned
As Cossacks tear us piece
by piece
Our dead are strewn a
hundred leagues
Though death would be
a sweet release
And our grande armée
is dressed in rags
A frozen starving beggar
band
Like rats we steal each
other's scraps
Fall to fighting hand
to hand
Save my soul from evil,
Lord
And heal this soldier's
heart
I'll trust in thee to
keep me, Lord
I'm done with Bonaparte
What dreams he made for
us to dream
Spanish skies, Egyptian
sands
The world was ours, we
marched upon
Our little Corporal's
command
And I lost an eye at
Austerlitz
The sabre slash yet gives
me pain
My one true love awaits
me still
The flower of the aquitaine
Save my soul from evil,
Lord
And heal this soldier's
heart
I'll trust in thee to
keep me, Lord
I'm done with Bonaparte
I pray for her who prays
for me
A safe return to my belle
France
We prayed these wars
would end all wars
In war we know is no
romance
And I pray our child
will never see
A little Corporal again
Point toward a foreign
shore
Captivate the hearts
of men
Save my soul from evil,
Lord
And heal this soldier's
heart
I'll trust in thee to
keep me, Lord
I'm done with Bonaparte
It wasn't just the music
It wasn't just the wine
Some other kind of magic
Was sending up my spine
Then I was falling
And I fell for you, and
how
Darling, are we in trouble
now
They say we're grown up
But we've been searching
all this time
I wouldn't own up
Never would admit to
flying blind
But in the Darkness
We found each other anyhow
Darling, are we in trouble
now
When we'd talk it over
Love was a cry from a
distant shore
Then we found each other
And all that we'd been
searching for
And I'm done denying
I guess by now you know
I'm through with trying
Can't bring myself to
let you go
And of all these feelings
We said we never would
allow
Darling, are we in trouble
now
