- Change The World
we can change the world...
the difference is in the way...
the difference is in the way we are as people
the difference is the sum of what we are
so look at the things that join us together
and take away the things that pull us apart
ooh, we can change the world...
- Five Years
Pushing through the market square
So many mothers sighing
News had just come over, we had five years left to cry in
News guy wept when he told us earth was really dying
Cried so much, his face was wet, then I knew he was not lying
I heard telephones, opera house, favourite melodies
I saw boys, toys, electric irons and TVs
My brain hurt like a warehouse, it had no room to spare
- For The Sake Of Love
I forgive, I forgive
I forgive all my friends who left me alone
I forgive the wall that it had so many stones
I forgive the lord that he never sent a priest
I forgive the hangman, I forgive the beast
I forgive the winter that it was so cold
I forgive my father that he was so bold
I forgive the ashes that they couldn't stay flames
- Say It Ain't So, Joe
say it ain't so, joe, please, say it ain't so
that's not what i wanna hear, joe and i got the right to know
say it ain't so, joe, please, say it ain't so
i'm sure, they're telling us lies, joe,
please, tell us it ain't so
they told us that our hero has played his trump card
he doesn't know how to go on
we're clinging to his charms and determined smile
- Sweet Needles Of Success
The circus is full of smoke
After all these years
Some were good, some were bad
Didn't know what I was about to start
When I started
Though I wrote it all down
God, I was so naive
When you're on the show
