1. DAY OF THE JACKAL

My name is David, I live in Tel Aviv
I'm twelve years old, People call me Billy the Kid
My brother and my sister, are gone from my side
Lying together, for together they died

[Chorus]
Everybody dance, do the berserker
Everybody dance, soldier and worker
Pray to the Lord, We can learn to live together somehow
For the day of the jackal is now.

My name is Ishmail, I live in Beirut
I'm twelve years old, but I know how to shoot
My father and mother, were both refugees
With a gun on their head, they died on their knees

[Chorus]

My name is God, or Allah if you choose
And I bring you despair, destruction and abuse
I give you your lands, and you name them after me
But you tear them apart, from the desert to the sea.

[Chorus]


2. SOHO SQUARE

I just come down, from a northern town,
Another clown on the street
In Soho Square, pretty darlin's everywhere,
Dressed to kill from their heads to their feet.

Smiling faces, going places
Some are already there.
Me, i've never known,
What's going on, in Soho Square.

[Chorus]
Pardon me, but can I stare at you
You look just about good enough to eat
I'm so hungry, it's so sad to be lonely
Had nothing past my lips in a week.

No don't say a word, just pretend you haven't heard
I'll go back to the crowd on the road
With my hands in my pants, i'll do a little dance
Try not to let my head explode.

[Chorus]

I just come down, from a northern town,
Another clown on the street
In Soho Square, pretty darlin's everywhere,
Dressed to kill from their heads to their feet.


3. OLD PECULIAR FEELING

I got the strangest feeling just the other day,
I saw you passing and I couldn't look away,
Though we're no strangers, still it happens now and then.

[Chorus]
I get that feeling, that same old feeling
That old peculiar feeling again.

We go out dancing when it comes to Friday night,
With you beside me I know everything is right
And when they play that certain song from way back when.

[Chorus](x2)

Here it comes again, here it comes again,
Here it comes again, here it comes again.

Whenever I pick up my favourite old guitar,
We meet our friends in some old crazy downtown bar,
And as we start to play I see you smile and then.

[Chorus](x2)

Here it comes again, here it comes again,
Here it comes again, here it comes again.
Here it comes again, here it comes again,
Here it comes again, here it comes again.


4. MOTHER RUSSIA

Lenin lies so stately, Karl's a forgotten man,
Joseph played his cards wrong, 'cos he couldn't understand.

History is bunkum, I heard some American said,
If you can't deal with the living, you might as well be with the dead.

[Chorus]
Mother Russia, your sons have left you crying in the rain,
Your sadness tears my heart out, but it isn't easy to explain.

The rat race is coming to get you, is boney hands reach long,
You might as well forget you, ever played a different song.
No Tolstoy no Tchaikovsky, gonna get you out of this,
Just close your eyes and turn your cheek, get ready for the Judas kiss.

[Chorus]

I walk your fields in wonder, as I softly call your name,
Mamma, Mamma, Mamma, isn't it a shame, isn't it a shame.

Isn't it a shame, isn't it a shame, isn't it a shame.

In war your sons were taken, in peace they built a wall,
Their future's now forsaken, who'll be there to break your fall ?

[Chorus]

I walk your fields in wonder, as I softly call your name,
Mamma, Mamma, Mamma, isn't it a shame, isn't it a shame.

Isn't it a shame, isn't it a shame, isn't it a shame.

Mamma, Mamma, Mamma, isn't it a shame, isn't it a shame.
Mamma, Mamma, Mamma, isn't it a shame, isn't it a shame.


5. DEMONS

All them demons know what it's all about
Talk in whispers don't need to twist and shout.
Dancing in your head, just like the dance of the dead
All them demons know what it's all about.

All them demons know when the time is right
Just when the dawn takes over from the night.
They slide into your dreams, with a smile and a strangled scream
All them demons know what's wrong is right.

[Chorus]
Oh Mamma, can you really feel the pain
Oh Mamma, it's hard to explain.
Oh Mamma, I'm begging on my knees
Oh Mamma, help me if you please.

All them demons know my home address
Inside my head is where I hang my happiness.
But these bastards won't leave me alone, they're even on the ansaphone
Come on Mamma get me out of this mess.

[Chorus]
Oh Mamma, it's so hard to take the pain
Oh Mamma, is it me to take the blame
Oh Mamma,I do love you still
Oh Mamma,won't you help me if you will.


6. DON'T LEAVE ME TONIGHT

Don't leave me tonight, tomorrow is calling,
I know it's not right, but what is
Listen to my heart, you're tearing me apart
Do what you want, don't leave me tonight.

Don't leave me tonight, 'cos' it's cold in here
I look for the light, where has it gone
Remember the times gone past, is this really the last
Do what you want, don't leave me tonight.

Don't leave me tonight, now that the winds of change have come
Now that there's freedom for everyone,
Now that my feet are back on the ground
Don't leave me

Don't leave me tonight, now that the age of reason's come
Now that there's freedom for everyone,
Now that my feet are back on the ground
Don't leave me

Please, don't leave me tonight, tomorrow's waiting
Let's give it a fright, let's be wild
When the sun comes through the sky, you can whisper your goodbye
Do what you want, don't leave me tonight
Do what you want, don't leave me tonight (well, well, well)

Do what you want, don't leave me tonight
Do what you want, please don't leave me tonight


7. ELVIS LIVES ON THE MOON

Space ships landing in the corn fields, couldn't come a day too soon
Shake your castanets and tambourines, Elvis lives on the moon.

Nostradamus saw the future, Uri Geller bent a spoon
On the other side it's so secure, Elvis lives on the moon

[Chorus]
And if all this is true, not just a mere circumstance
I might make it with you, I might just have a chance.

There's a curse waiting for you, down in Tutenkhamen's tomb
Don't let it scare or overaws you, Elvis lives on the moon

[Chorus]

My daddy told me keep an open mind, listen carefully what they say
And if Elvis is any friend of mine, you'll be mine some day

Elvis lives on the moon, yes he does
Elvis lives on the moon

Elvis lives on the moon


8. KEEPING THE RAGE

(No lyrics available)


9. HEAVEN WAITS

You got me stood in a corner
You got me thinking on my feet
You wanna know about the children
You wanna know what they eat
You wanna know about the jungle
You wanna know what you breathe
You wanna know about the future
You don't know what to believe.

This is the way of the world
This is the way it goes
This is the way things are.

[Chorus]
Just because the mountains may be crumbling
Don't mean we have to sit and cry
Fires burn and walls they come a-tumbling
Heaven waits for those who try.

You wanna know about the river
You wanna know about the street
You wanna know about tomorrow
You got it all at your feet.

This is the way of the world
This is the way it goes
This is the way things are.

[Chorus]

You wanna know if there's a heaven
I see you looking at the skies
You wanna take a look around you
Heaven waits for those who try.

[Chorus](x2)


10. SPOKEN LIKE A MAN

Words like hearts are easily broken
Thoughts are true until they're spoken
Dreams you'd die for turn to tokens
Spoken like a man.

Your childish mind has been distorted
Twisted by the tales you taught it
Make your speech you've got it sorted
Spoken like a man.

[Chorus]
I don't believe you, just don't believe you, who could believe you
I don't care, what you say, I don't care anyway,
Don't give a damn, when you speak like a man.

Where's the boy who's fumbling hands
Reached out in time to touch the sand
To grow up grey and understand
To speak just like a man.

[Chorus](x2)


11. THINK

I live on the universe, I live alone
From the sun, I am the third stone
You can see I'm crying, what have I done ?

I gave you history, I gave you sons
I gave you mystery, I gave you fun
But now I'm dying, what's to be done ?

[Chorus]
Mercy, mercy think of me, I bought you up for posterity
Mercy, mercy think of me, all I ask is think ... Think.

I gave you sons, they invented war
They asked for nothing, then they wanted more
And now I'm dying, what is it for ?

[Chorus]

Your mother's dying, consider why
Her sons were lying, they thought she'd get by
Goodbye to romance, goodbye, goodbye.
Think.
Think about it.
