Текст песни:

From the mountains of the moon to the mighty delta
From the deserts of the West to the shining sea
Beneath the canopy of stars flowed the serpent river
Flowing through my father′s land that he left to me

From the baker to the priest to the candle maker
From the highest to the low in my father′s land
We make our offer to the sun ′fore the break of morning
Or else everything we have will just turn to sand

I have a lot to ask
I have a lot that I need to say
I have so much to do
And all I need is another day

From the soldier to the scribe to the carpet maker
All the different colored threads in a carpet loom
A woven tapestry of life is our mighty nation
This is the writing on the wall of my father′s tomb

We have a lot to ask
We have a lot that we need to say
We have so much to do
And all we need is another day

Beneath the desert moon I call you
Beneath the desert moon I sing
Beneath the desert moon so lonely
I′m just a boy who would be king

With just the moon to guide us
We sometimes lose our way
If there′s a light inside us
We′ll follow, follow it to the brightness of the day

Every single blade of grass every yellow flower
Every ripple on the sea or the blue blue Nile
Every leaf on every tree every single creature
From the smallest little bird to the crocodile

We have a lot to ask
We have a lot that we need to say
We have so much to do
And all we need is another day

Beneath the desert moon I call you
Beneath the desert moon we sing
Beneath the desert moon we′re waiting
Before the coming of the king

Beneath the desert moon that′s sinking
We see the Eastern skies on fire
This is where darkness leaves
And shining waters fall
And let the shadows run
And we′ll say, "welcome to the sun"

Brand new day...

From the mountains of the moon to the mighty delta
From the deserts of the West to the shining sea
Beneath the canopy of stars flowed the serpent river
Flowing through my father′s land that he left to me

Текст песни:

Early one morning with time to kill
I borrowed Jeb′s rifle and sat on the hill
I saw a lone rider crossing the plain
I drew a bread on him to practice my aim
My brother′s rifle went off in my hand
A shot rang out across the land
The horse he kept running the rider was dead
I hung my head I hung my head

I set off running to wake from the dream
My brother′s rifle went into the stream
I kept on running into the salt lands
And that′s where they found me, my head in my hands
The sheriff he asked me "Why had I run"
Then it came to me just what I had done
And all for no reason, just one piece of lead
I hung my head, I hung my head

Here in the courthouse, the whole town is there
I see the judge high up in his chair
"Explain to the courtroom what went through your mind
And we′ll ask the jury what verdict they find"
I said "I felt the power of death over life
I orphaned his children I widowed his wife
I beg their forgiveness I wish I was dead"
I hung my head, I hung my head

Early one morning with time to kill
I see the gallows up on the hill
And out in the distance a trick of the brain
I see a lone rider crossing the plain
He′s come to fetch me to see what they done
We′ll ride together til Kingdom come
I pray for God′s mercy for soon I′ll be dead
I hung my head, I hung my head

Текст песни:

"Seven days" was all she wrote
A kind of ultimatum note
She gave to me, she gave to me

When I thought the field had cleared
It seemed another suit appeared
To challenge me
Woe is me

Though I hate to make a choice
My options are decreasing mostly rapidly
Well, we′ll see

I don′t really think she′d bluff this time
I really have to make her mine
It′s plain to see
It′s him or me

(refrain)
Monday, I could wait ′til Tuesday
If I make up my mind
Wednesday would be fine
Thursday′s on my mind
Friday′d give me time
Saturday could wait
But Sunday′d be too late

The fact he′s over six-feet-ten
Might instill fear in other men
But not in me
The mighty flea

Ask if I am mouse or man
The mirror squeaked, away I ran
He′ll murder me
In time for his tea

Does it bother me at all?
My rival is Neanderthal, it makes me think
Perhaps I need a drink

IQ is no problem here
We won′t be playing Scrabble for her hand I fear
I need that beer

(refrain)

Seven days will quickly go
The fact remains, I love her so

Seven days, so many ways
But I can′t run away

(refrain)

Do I have to tell a story
Of a thousand rainy days since we first met
It′s a big enough umbrella
But it′s me that always ends up getting wet

Текст песни:

Be still my beating heart
It would be better to be cool
It’s not time to be open just yet
A lesson once learned is so hard to forget
Be still my beating heart
Or I’ll be taken for a fool
It’s not healthy to run at this pace
The blood runs so red to my face
I’ve been to every single book I know
To soothe the thoughts that plague me so

I sink like a stone that’s been thrown in the ocean
My logic has drowned in a sea of emotion
Stop before you start
Be still my beating heart

Restore my broken dreams
Shattered like a fallen glass
I’m not ready to be broken just yet
A lesson once learned is so hard to forget

Be still my beating heart
You must learn to stand your ground
It’s not healthy to run at this pace
The blood runs so red to my face
I’ve been to every single book I know
To soothe the thoughts that plague me so
Stop before you start
Be still my beating heart

Never to be wrong
Never to make promises that break
It’s like singing in the wind
Or writing on the surface of a lake
And I wriggle like a fish caught on dry land
And I struggle to avoid any help at hand

I sink like a stone that’s been thrown in the ocean
My logic has drowned in a sea of emotion
Stop before you start
Be still my beating heart

Текст песни:

Seven weeks have passed now since she left me
She shows her face to ask me how I am
She says the kids are fine and that they miss me
Maybe I could come and baby sit sometime
She says "Are you O.K.? I was worried about you
Can you forgive me? I hope that you′ll be happy."
I′m so happy that I can′t stop crying
I′m so happy I′m laughing through my tears

I saw a friend of mine
He said "I was worried about you
I heard she had another man,
I wondered how you felt about it?"
I′m so happy that I can′t stop crying
I′m so happy I′m laughing though my tears
Saw my lawyer, Mr Good News
He got me joint custody and legal separation
I′m so happy that I can′t stop crying
I′m laughing through my tears
I′m laughing through my tears

I took a walk alone last night
I looked up at the stars
To try and find an answer in my life
I chose a star for me
I chose a star for him
I chose two stars for my kids and one star for my wife
Something made me smile
Something seemed to ease the pain
Something about the universe and how it′s all connected

The park is full of Sunday fathers and melted ice cream
We try to do the best within the given time
A kid should be with his mother
Everybody knows that
What can a father do but baby-sit sometimes?
I saw that friend of mine, he said,
"You look different somehow"
I said, "Everybody′s got to leave the darkness sometime"
I′m so happy that I can′t stop crying
I′m laughing through my tears
I′m laughing through my tears
I′m so happy that I can′t stop crying
I′m laughing through my tears
I′m laughing through my tears

Текст песни:

Woke up in my clothes again this morning
I don′t know exactly where I am
And I should heed my doctor′s warning
He does the best with me he can

He claims I suffer from delusion
But I′m so confident I′m sane
It can′t be an optical illusion
So how do you explain
Shadows in the rain

And if you see us on the corner
We′re just dancing in the rain
I tell my friends there when I see them
Outside my windowpane
Shadows in the rain

@ Sting

Текст песни:

Young men, soldiers, nineteen fourteen
Marching through countries they′d never seen
Virgins with rifles, a game of charades
All for a children′s crusade

Pawns in the game are not victims of chance
Strewn on the fields of Belgium and France
Poppies for young men, death′s bitter trade
All of those young lives betrayed

The children of England would never be slaves
They′re trapped on the wire and dying in waves
The flower of England face down in the mud
And stained the blood of a whole generation

Corpulent generals safe behind lines
History′s lessons drowned in red wine
Poppies for young men, death′s bitter trade
All of those young lives betrayed
All for a children′s crusade

The children of England would never be slaves
They′re trapped on the wire and dying in waves
The flower of England face down in the mud
And stained the blood of a whole generation

Midnight in Soho nineteen eighty four
Fixing in doorways, opium slaves
Poppies for young men, death′s bitter trade
All of those young lives betrayed
All for a children′s crusade

Текст песни:

Alone with my thoughts this evening
I walked on the banks of Tyne
I wondered how I could win you
Or if I could make you mine
Or if I could make you mine

The wind it was so insistent
With tales of a stormy south
But when I spied two birds in a sycamore tree
Came a dryness in my mouth
Came a dryness in my mouth

For then without rhyme of reason
The two birds did rise up to fly
And were the two birds were flying
I swear I saw you and I
I swear I saw you and I

I walked out this morning
It was like a veil had been removed from before my eyes
For the first time I saw the work of heaven
In the line where the hills had been married to the sky
And all around me every blade of singing grass
Was calling out your name and that our love would always last
And inside every turning leaf
Is the pattern of an older tree
The shape of our future
The shape of all our history
And out of the confusion
Where the river meets the sea
Came things I′d never seen
Things I′d never seen

I was brought to my senses
I was blind now that I can see
Every signpost in nature
Said you belong to me

I know it′s true
It′s written in the sky as blue
As blue as your eyes, as blue as your eyes
If nature′s red in tooth and claw
Like the winter′s freeze and summer′s thaw
The wounds she gave me
Were the wounds that would heal me
And we′d be like the moon and sun
And when our courtly dance had run
Its course across the sky
Then together we would lie
And out of the confusion
Where the river meets the sea
Something new would arrive
Something better would arrive

I was brought to my senses
I was blind now that I can see
Every signpost in nature
Said you belong to me

Текст песни:

She don′t like to hear me sing
She don′t want no diamond ring
She don′t want to drive my car
She won′t let me go that far
She don′t like the way I look
She don′t like the things I cook
She don′t like the way I play
She don′t like the things I say
But oh the games we play
She′s too good for me
She′s too good for me

She don′t like the jokes I make
She don′t like the drugs I take
She don′t like the friends I got
She don′t like my friends a lot
She don′t like the clothes I wear
She don′t like the way I stare
She don′t like the tales I tell
She don′t like the way I smell
But oh, the games we play
She′s too good for me
She′s too good for me

Would she prefer it if I washed myself more often than I do
Would she prefer it if I took her to an opera or two
I could distort myself to be the perfect man
She might prefer me as I am

She don′t want to meet my folks
She don′t want to hear my jokes
She don′t want to fix my tie
She don′t even want to try
She don′t like the books I read
She don′t like the way I feed
She don′t want to save my life
She don′t want to be my wife
But oh, the games we play
She′s too good for me
She′s too good for me

Текст песни:

There were rooms of forgiveness
In the house that we share
Bu the space has been emptied
Of whatever was there
There were cupboards of patience
There were shelf-loads of care
But whoever came calling
Found nobody there
After today, consider me gone

Roses have thorns and shining waters mud
And cancer lurks deep in the sweetest bud
Clouds and eclipses stain the moon and sun
And history reeks of the wrongs we have done
After today, consider me gone

I′ve spent too many years at war with myself
The doctor has told me it′s no good for my health
To search for perfection is all very well
But to look for heaven is to live here in hell

After today, consider me gone

@ Sting

Текст песни:

Dansons tu dis
Et moi je suis
Mes pas sont gauches
Mes pieds tu fauches
Je crains les sots
Je cherche en vain les mots
Pour m′expliquer ta vie alors
Tu ments ma Soeur
Tu brises mon coeur
Je pense tu sais
Erreurs jamais
J′ecoute tu parles
Je ne comprends pas bien
La belle dame sans regrets

Je pleure tu ris
Je chante tu cries
Tu semes les graines
D′un mauvais chéne
Mon ble s′envole
Tu en a ras le bol
J′attends, toujours
Mes cris sont sourds
Tu ments, ma Soeur
Tu brises mon coeur
Je pense, tu sais
Erreurs, jamais
J′ecoute, tu parles
Je ne comprends pas bien
La belle dame sans regrets

@ Sting

Текст песни:

There′s a saying old says that love is blind
Still were often told "seek and you shall find"
So I′m going to seek a certain girl I′ve had in mind
Looking everywhere haven′t found her yet
She′s the big affair I cannot forget
Only girl I ever think of with regret
I′d like to add her initial to my monogram
Tell me where is the shepherdess for this lost lamb?

There′s a somebody I′m longing to see
I hope that she turns out to be
Someone who′ll watch over me

I′m a little lamb who′s lost in the wood
I know I could always be good
To one who′ll watch over me
Although I may not be the man some girls think of as handsome
To her heart I carry the key
Won′t you tell her please to put on some speed, follow my lead
Oh, how I need someone who′ll watch over me

There′s a somebody I′m longing to see
I hope that she turns out to be
Someone to watch over me

I′m a little lamb who′s lost in the wood
I know I could always be good
To one who′ll watch over me

Although I may not be the man some girls think of as handsome
To her heart I carry the key
Won′t you tell her please to put on some speed, follow my lead
Oh, how I need someone to watch over me

Текст песни:

I dream of rain
I dream of gardens in the desert sand
I wake in pain
I dream of love as time runs through my hand

I dream of fire
These dreams are tied to a horse that will never tire
And in the flames
Her shadows play in the shape of a man′s desire

This desert rose
Each of her veils, a secret promise
This desert flower
No sweet perfume ever tortured me more than this

And as she turns
This way she moves in the logic of all my dreams
This fire burns
I realise that nothing′s as it seems

I dream of rain
I dream of gardens in the desert sand
I wake in pain
I dream of love as time runs through my hand

I dream of rain
I lift my gaze to empty skies above
I close my eyes, this rare perfume
Is the sweet intoxication of her love

I dream of rain
I dream of gardens in the desert sand
I wake in pain
I dream of love as time runs through my hand

Sweet desert rose
Each of her veils, a secret promise
This desert flower
No sweet perfume ever tortured me more than this

Sweet desert rose
This memory of Eden haunts us all
This desert flower, this rare perfume
Is the sweet intoxication of the love

@ Sting

Текст песни:

When you′re down and they′re counting
When your secrets all found out
When your troubles take to mounting
When the map you have leads you to doubt
When there′s no information
And the compass turns to nowhere that you know well
Let your soul be your pilot
Let your soul guide you
He′ll guide you well

When the doctors failed to heal you
When no medicine chest can make you well
When no counsel leads to comfort
When there are no more lies they can tell
No more useless information
And the compass spins
The compass spins between heaven and hell
Let your soul be your pilot
Let your soul guide you
He′ll guide you well

And your eyes turn towards the window pane
To the lights upon the hill
The distance seems so strange to you now
And the dark room seems so still

Let your pain be my sorrow
Let your tears be my tears too
Let your courage be my model
That the north you find will be true
When there′s no more useless information
And the compass turns to nowhere that you know well
Let your soul be your pilot
Let your soul guide you
Let your soul guide you
Let your soul guide you upon your way

@ Sting

Текст песни:

Well in a hundred years from now
They will attempt to tell us how
A scientific means to bliss
Will supercede the human kiss

A sub atomic chain
Will maybe galvanize the brain
A biochemic trance
Will eliminate romance

But why ever should we care
When there are arrows in the air
Formed by lovers′ ancient art
That go straight to my heart

A future sugar coated pill
Would give our lovers time to kill
I think they′re working far too much
For the redundancy of touch

But what will make me yours
Are a million deadly spores
Formed by lovers′ ancient art
That go straight to my heart

Come into my door
Be the light of my life
Come into my door

You′ll never have to sweep the floor
Come into my door
Be the light of my life
Come into my door
Come and be my wife
I′ll be true. To no one but you

If it′s a future world we fear
We have tomorrow′s seeds right here
For you can hold them in your hand
Or let them fall into the sand

But if our love is pure
The only thing of which we′re sure
Then you can play your part
And go straight to my heart

If I should seek immunity
And love you with impunity
Then the only thing to do
Is for me to pledge myself to you

But they only dealt one card
So for me it is not hard
You′re the bright star in my chart
You go straight to my heart

Come into my door
Be the light of my life
Come into my door
You′ll never have to sweep the floor
Come into my door
Be the light of my life
Come into my door
Come and be my wife
I′ll be true. To no one but you

Текст песни:

Lay my head on the surgeon′s table
Take my fingerprints if you are able
Pick my brains pick my pockets
Steal my eyeballs and come back for the sockets
Run every kind of test from A to Z
And you′ll still know nothing ′bout me

Run my name though your computer
Mention me in passing to your college tutor
Check my records check my facts
Check if I paid my income tax
Pore over everything in my C.V.
But you′ll still know nothing ′bout me
You′ll still know nothing ′bout me

You don′t need to read no books on my history
I′m a simple man, it′s no big mystery
In the cold weather, a hand needs a glove
At times like this, a lonely man like me needs love

Search my house with a fine tooth comb
Turn over everything ′cause I won′t be at home
Set up your microscope and tell me what you see
You′ll still know nothing ′bout me

@ Sting
