Lyrics

1. ONE WORLD

Baby let me take you by the hand
Show you something for to see.
When you grown I know you understand.
One sky, one sea, one world will be.

Know you growing in a broken world
The future spread its wings so wide.
Don't giving the tide is on the turn.
One land, one home, one world will come.

[Chorus]
One world will be, one world is free, one world will surely come
'Cause if the men in grey, never get their way
For certain we'll have none.

One sky, one sea, one world will be.

[Chorus]

Oh, let me walking thru the promised land.
Feel the wind in the air.
All is changing like the ship in sand.

One sky, one home, one world will be

One land, one home, one world will com

One sky, one home, one world will be

One land, one home, one world will come


2. EVERYTHING CHANGES

When I think of you my voice changes, my smile changes, my face changes
When I think of you my heart changes, my day changes, to get me that way.
Everything changes.

You work like a man, do what you can
Just another wheel in the masterplan.
But thinking of you, changes the view
And do anything, 'cause I know, yes I know, that I can.

[Chorus]
When I think of you my voice changes, my smile changes, my face changes
When I think of you my heart changes, my day changes, to get me that way.
Everything changes.

You do what you do, try to get thru
Carry the way that's hanging on to you.
But with you in my eyes, it's no surprise
I can say anything, 'cause I know, yes I know, that it's true.

[Chorus](x2)
Everything changes (x10)


3. WORKING FOR THE MAN

There was a whole lot of money, he said I'd soon be earning
There was a whole lot of papers that I didn't understand.
There was a whole lot of talk about keeping some beacon burnin'
And the next thing I knew I was working for the man.

It took a whole lot of shovin' to keep that motor turning
It took a whole lot of breaking my back 'til I could hardly stand
It took a whole lot of keeping that midnight candle burning
That's the lesson you learn when you working for the man.

[Chorus]
Working for the man you know exactly where you stand
Last in line and working for the man.

I did a whole of thinking how to get them tables turning
I did a whole lot of acting like I'm doing the best I can
I did a whole lot of biting my tongue just to keep on learning
That's the lesson you learn when you working for the man.

[Chorus]

I got a whole lot to show for it since the day I started
I got lines on my faces, I got blisters on my hand
I got debts to the company, but I don't get down hearted
I still got the privilege working for the man
I still got the privilege working for the man.
Working, working, working, working.


4. ROLL ON THAT DAY

One day I know the way before us will be clear
All I divide just now will fade and disappear.

One day I know is sure is morning follows night
We walk together from the darkness to the night.

Brothers and sisters joining hands along the way
Change got to come and I say, roll on that day.

[Chorus]
Roll on that day I say now, roll on that day,
Change got to come and I say, roll on that day.

For all the cold and lonely, hungry and unborn
See that their darkest hour is just before the dawn.

And I see a bright blue morning, lighten up the way
Change got to come and I say, roll on that day.

[Chorus]

I see a bright blue morning, lighten up the way
Change got to come and I say, roll on that day.

[Chorus](x4)


5. YOU'RE THE ONE

I've travelled round lifes corridors,
Thru twisting bends and closing doors
Times of peace and times of war,
Times when I didn't even know the score.

[Chorus]
Lost but now I'm found
Feet back on the ground
You're the one that opened up the door.

I've pulled some strokes, i've cracked some jokes
Spent some years with boozy blokes,
Had my fill till I thought I'd choke
Said some things, wish I'd never spoke.

[Chorus]
Lost but now I'm found
Got my feed back on the ground
You're the one that mends me when I'm broke.

You're the one that saved me, you're the one for me
You're the one that gave me, everything I need
And thru the darkest night, there will always shine a light
A beacon of hope and harmony.

I've travelled down lifes lonely lane
Had some pleasure, felt some pain
Seen some things, that I couldn't name
Found out guilty and took the blame.

[Chorus]
Lost now I'm found
Feet back on the ground
You're the one that eases all my pain.

[Chorus]
Lost but now I'm found
Feet back on the ground
You're the one that mends me when I'm broke.

You're the one ( lost but now I'm found ) (x9)


6. WISH YOU WERE HERE

Lately i've seen things to astound me
Got me crying in my beer,
Sure much craziness surrounds me
Sometimes feel the end is near.

Oh how I wish you were here.

Being travelling down this road for a lifetime
Being travelling down this road for years
Had my share of all the good times
Laughed a bit and shed some tears.

Oh how I wish you were here.

All my life i've tried to build some bridges in the air
Walked thru walls I didn't know were there
And after all these years, it's finally come clear.

Oh how I wish you were here.

Oh how I wish you were here.

All my life i've tried to build some bridges in the air
Walked thru walls I didn't know were there
And after all these years, it's finally come clear.

Oh how I wish you were here.

Being round the world once or twice, more or less
Flown like a bird across the sea
Hanging round with my head in a mess
There's only one place for me.

Oh how I wish you were here.

Oh how I wish you were here.

Oh how I wish you were here.


7. DO IT LIKE THIS

When I was young and in my pride, looking for to have a good time
I met a young girl with a cute little curl, on the borderline.

Thinking that I knew it all, I took her to my favourite wall
Where I'd written the name next to mine, in letters ten feet tall
She shook her head that was all.

[Chorus]
She said, do it, do it -- do it, do it -- do it do it -- do it like this
She said, do it, do it -- do it, do it -- do it do it -- do it like this
She said, do it, do it -- do it, do it -- do it do it -- do it like this
Do it like this -- do it like this.

One thing led to the next, I mean what else could you expect
Married in spring, baby in fall, each day different from the next.

Well the old folks said I told you so, I mean you gonna watch out how you go
Never thought that I'd been a teenage bride, but then again what do they know,
You gotta roll to the floor.

[Chorus]

Now mama's got a brand new bag, man is it driving me mad
Clear me out the kitchen, put out trash for the ragman

Way back when it was fine, now it's nag, nag, nag all the time
Bringing it in the door, put out the cat, leave that bottle of wine,
And she says turn off the light.

She said -- she said -- she said

[Chorus](x2)


8. ANY WAY THE WIND BLOWS

I am just a traveller, a victim of the times
Blown in this direction by the closen of the mind.

This whole world is shadowed now, how can we begin
Hurl apart and scattered like the leafes before the wind.

[Chorus]
Which way to turn, which way to go
Which way but who knows, any way the wind blows.
It blows so cold, it blows so free
The world goes, any way the wind blows, that goes for me.

I have been a laborer, worker with my hand,
Lately times where hard I had, to work in foreign land

Sure I miss my children, I couldn't back to be apart
If I could work at home, I'd still be working with my heart.

[Chorus]

I am just a vagabond, society reject,
I don't know where I'm headed for, or where I wind up next.

Maybe the embankment, with the gloves to keep me warm
Maybe I keep flowin' like, the dust before the storm.

[Chorus]

It blows so cold, it blows so free
The world goes, any way the wind blows, that goes for me.


9. STRANGE AFFAIR

It's a strange way when you're looking with your eyes
A strange way talking when you're talking lies
It's a strange affair, it's a strange affair.

It's a strange way you're walking when you walk a crooked mile
It's a strange way smiling when you got a crooked smile
It's a strange affair, it's a strange affair.

And you stand there proud with your blue dress on
Trying to convince me, that you're the one
Well look at the wall, there's a mirror there
Better talk to because it don't swear.

It's a strange way of thinking when you don't use your mind
Strange way you're loving when you leave it behind
It's a strange affair, it's a strange affair.

It's a strange way you listen when you hear no voice
Strange way of you choosin' when you give no choice
It's a strange affair, it's a strange affair.

Well one day maybe you're wandering around
And if you use your eyes you might hear the sound
Of the millions you mastered trying to drown
Sometimes quicksand comes to solid ground.

It's a strange affair, strange affair, strange strange strange affair.

It's a strange affair when you think of the end
You look for love and what you find a friend
It's a strange affair, it's a strange affair.

One day maybe when the book is read
Gonna find it on the face and don't believe what you've said
It's a strange affair, it's a strange affair.

And you'll go down in histories as a woman of the world
But you ended up your life like a frightened little girl
Playing with your balls on the tennis court
You didn't mix in, 'cause you're not that sort.

It's a strange affair, strange affair, strange strange strange affair. (x5)


10. WHEN THE NIGHT COMES DOWN

Darkness comes down on city, another day is done
Streetlights you up so pretty, you and me can have some kind of fun.
But there's a light in the basement doorway, how's about you and me stick around
Take a chance you can have it all your way, if you tell me you'll stay,
When the night comes down.

[Chorus]
And tonight is an ocean, never reaching the end
If you got the notion, I got the money to spend
We can keep it in motion, do it all over town
What you got to do is stay with me, when the night comes down.

Say you'll be around, when the night comes down
Say let's go downtown, stay with me, when the night comes down.

See them all going from streets all their stuff & money to burn
They all know they're gonna get their business fixed
They're gonne have fun got nothing to learn.
Some of them go home lonely, some of them will tear each other apart
Some of them like me and you will see it all
Just keep dancing to the beat of their heart.

[Chorus]
Tonight is an ocean, never reaching the end
If you got the notion, I got the money to spend
We can keep it in motion, do it all over town
What you got to do is stay with me, when the night comes down.
Say you'll be around, when the night comes down
Say let's go downtown, stay with me, when the night comes down.

Some people go to the mountains, some people they go down to the sea
But there's one thing you know you can count on, you can always come downtown with me.
And if you see a light from the doorway, you know I'm somewhere around
Or else i'll be somewhere up your way, would you let me stay,
When the night comes down.

[Chorus]
Tonight is an ocean, never reaching the end
If you got the notion, I got the money to spend
We can keep it in motion, do it all over town
What you got to do is stay with me, when the night comes down.
Say you'll be around, when the night comes down
Say let's go downtown, stay with me, when the night comes down.

Say you'll be around, when the night comes down
Say let's go downtown, stay with me, when the night comes down.


11. DON'T SAY GOODNIGHT

Don't say goodnight my friend, don't let the evening
End, it's only half past three, we've got more bottles to
See off tomorrow, it only brings you sorrow,
Tomorrow and tomorrow is another day.

Don't say goodnight ok, say help
Instead, the bacon wait for now, but now's the time to
Makeup up, and take off your make up and shake off
Your shoes let your hair hang down low.

Don't say goodnight oh no, don't say goodnight oh

You and me got so much in common, common people that we are
Who can tell what lies in the future
Who needs to wish on a star.

Don't say goodnight it's hard to whirl it over
Light is sneaking thru the dawn, let's have another

One for old times sake one for my sake,
One for the break of another day.

Don't say goodnight ok
Don't say goodnight my friend
Don't say goodnight oh no
Don't say goodnight
Don't say goodnight


12. ANOTHER WORLD

Baby let me take you by the hand
Show you something for to see.
When you grown I know you understand.
One sky, one sea, one world will be.

Know you growing in a broken world
The future spread its wings so wide.
Don't giving the tide is on the turn.
One land, one home, one world will come.

[Chorus]
One world will be, one world is free, one world will surely come
'Cause if the men in grey, never get their way
For certain we'll have none.

One sky, one sea, one world will be.

[Chorus]

Oh, let me walking thru the promised land.
Feel the wind in the air.
All is changing like the ship in sand.

One sky, one home, one world will be

One land, one home, one world will com

One sky, one home, one world will be

One land, one home, one world will come
