Текст песни:

And she came to look for me
Sold me name and innocence
Took my key
And told me to follow her
Down from Igor with her bangles and her reference
One from the church from the valley of the --
Well she wanted a haven and a place to hide
So I gave her an alibi took her inside but ...

(chorus)
A rock and a hard place await for for me
Between the devil and the deep blue sea
Everything I ever did right or wrong
Hid out of sight where I belong,
Belong...

And I didn′t have the heart to tell her why
And there wasn′t a part of me that
Didn′t want to say goodbye but...

Cause and effect go hand in hand and
The devil may care but I don′t mind
And I thought she′d never quite understand
So I left her there that night
But will she find me?
I don′t think so, no
When you go, you go alone
And I′m gone ...
Far away (x4)

And I didn′t have the heart to tell her why
And there wasn′t a part of me that
Didn′t want to say goodbye but :

chorus (repeat to fade out)

Текст песни:

We′ll turn away in a passive decision
We′ll take the steps through the unmarked door
A look back for another collision
But the boys of the spires
Are boys no more

Not black and red boys
Frightened by the night
By the catholic monochrome
The catholic girls now
Stark in their dark and white
Dread in monochrome
The sisters of mercy
High tide
Wide eyed
Sped on adrenochrome
For the sisters of mercy
Filled with
Panic in their eyes
Rise
Dead on adrenochrome

We had the power
We had the space
We had a sense of time and place
We knew the words
We knew the score
We knew what we were fighting for
For the freedom
The time to choose
But time to think
Is time to lose
The signals clash
And disappear
The shade too loud
And the sound unclear
For the

High tide
Wide eyed
Dread in monochrome
Denied in spite
Disliked in monochrome
Panic in their eyes
Rise
Dead and monochrome
The sisters of mercy
Spite
On adrenochrome

The way is clear
The road is closed
The damage done
And the course
Imposed you

Текст песни:

One more night spent on your mirror
Black Mariah, in your eyes
This stuff so strange and lonely
England fades away
In your eyes

Two O′clock in the morning
Ninety-four degrees

Through the stillness through the heat
The cars go by on fifth and breathing slow
Get up off the floor and angel put your clothes on
It′s time for us to go

Let′s take a ride

Текст песни:

Alice pressed against the wall
So she can see the door
In case the laughing strangers crawl and
Crush the petals on the floor

Alice in her party dress
She thanks you kindly
So serene
She needs you like she needs her tranqs
To tell her that the world is clean
To promise her a definition
Tell her where the rain will fall
Tell her where the sun shines bright
And tell her she can have it all
Today
Today

Pass the crystal spread the tarot
In illusion comfort lies
The safest way the straight and narrow
No confusion no surprise

Alice in her party dressed to kill
She the thanks you turns away
She needs you like she needs needs her pills
To tell her that the world′s okay
To promise her a definition
Tell her where the rain will fall
Tell her where the sun shines bright
And tell her she can have it all
Today
Today

Alice
Don′t give it way

Текст песни:

Baby buy an anaconda baby buy a thing to wear
She go walking she go crawling she go sliding through the air
She go talking warm and fashion she go talking debonair
But see her face turn to a mask and passion turn to she don′t care

She will she will she will she will let it take her breath away
She will she will she will she will let it take her life away
Let it wrap itself around her till it kill her in it′s way
She will she will she will she will blow away

Baby hit the rush hour traffic get a ride to anywhere
Baby buy the number three she pay the man she pay the fare
Baby hit the wild blue yonder on the mainline on the side
Steal to feed the anaconda will not see the suicide

She will she will she will she will let it take her breath away
She will she will she will she will let it take her life away
Let it wrap itself around her till it kill her in it′s way
She will she will she will she will blow away

Baby finger on the trigger baby shot formaldehyde
Turn into a marble figure turn the matter dead inside
Turn into a china doll maybe go to the final ride
Baby go where I don′t follow baby to the other side

She will she will she will she will let it take her breath away
She will she will she will she will let it take her life away
Let it wrap itself around her till it kill her in it′s way
She will she will she will she will blow away

Текст песни:

Of all the boys I′ve known and I′ve known some
Till I first met you I was lonesome
But when you came in sight
Dear my heart grew light
And this old world seemed new to me
Seemed new to me
Seemed new to me
So I will try to explain all the things you do to me

Bei mir bist du schoen
Let me explain
Bei mir bist du schoen means your grand
Bei mir bist du schoen
Please let me explain
It means you′re the fairest in the land

I could say bella, bella
Or I could say wunderbar
Each language only helps me tell you how grand you are

Bei mir bist du schoen
Let me explain
Kiss me
And understand

...Bei mir bist du schoen means you′re grand...

...It means you′re the fairest in the land...

I could say wunderbar
Each language only helps me tell you how grand you are

Bei mir bist du schoen
Let me explain
Kiss me,
And understand

I could say bella, bella
Or I could say wunderbar
Each language only helps me tell you how grand you are
Bei mir bist du schoen
Let me explain
Kiss me,
And understand

Текст песни:

(In the western sky)
(My kingdom come)

So still so dark all over Europe
And I ride down the highway 101
By the side of the ocean headed for sunset
For the kingdom come
for the

Black
Black planet
Black
Black world

Black
Black planet
Black
Black world

Run around in the radiation
Run around in the acid rain
On a
Black
Black planet
Black planet hanging over the highway
Out of my mind′s eye
Out of the memory
Black world out of my mind

Still so dark all over Europe
And the rainbow rises here
In the western sky
The kill to show for
At the end of the great white pier
I see a

Black
Black planet
Black
Black world

Run around in the radiation
Tune in turn on burn out in the acid rain on a..

Black
Black planet
Black
Black world

Bullet in the head
Down
Head

Got power to burn
Got means
Got flowers to burn
Between those pretty dreams
Hold out for cover
Hold out your hands to me
For...

Blood, blood money
Blood, blood money, money, money, money

(Kiss...)
Children.....kiss the ring
Children.....kiss the blade

Blood, blood money
Blood, blood money, money, money, money

Which hand holds your hand?
holds?

Blood, blood money
Blood, blood money, money, money, money
