1. RUNNING UP THAT HILL
It doesn't hurt me.
You wanna feel how it feels?
You wanna know, know that it doesn't hurt me?
You wanna hear about the deal I'm making?
You be running up that hill
You and me be running up that hill
And if I only could,
Make a deal with God,
And get him to swap our places,
Be running up that road,
Be running up that hill,
Be running up that building.
If I only could, oh...
You don't wanna hurt me,
But see how deep the bullet lies.
Unaware that I'm tearing you asunder.
There's a thunder in our hearts, baby.
So much hate for the ones we love?
Tell me, we both matter, don't we?
You, be running up that hill
You and me, be running up that hill
You and me won't be unhappy.
And if I only could,
Make a deal with God,
And get him to swap our places,
Be running up that road,
Be running up that hill,
Be running up that building,
If I only could, oh...
C'mon, baby, c'mon, c'mon, darling,
Let me steal this moment from you now.
C'mon, angel, c'mon, c'mon, darling,
Let's exchange the experience, oh...'
And if I only could,
Make a deal with God,
And get him to swap our places,
Be running up that road,
Be running up that hill,
With no problems (x2)
'If I only could, be running up that hill.' (x7)
2. WHERE IS MY MIND?
With your feet in the air , and your head on the ground
Try this trick and spin it! Yeahh!
Your head will collapse, but there's nothing in it
And you'll ask yourself?
chorus:
Where is my mind?
Where is my mind?
Where is my mind?
Way out, in the water see it swimmin´
I was swimmin´ in the Carribean
Animals would hide behind the rocks.
Except the little fish
But he told me east was west
Tryin' to talk
chorus:
Where is my mind?
Where is my mind?
Where is my mind?
Way out, in the water see it swimmin´?
With your feet in the air, and your head on the ground
Try this trick and spin it! Yeahh!
Your head will collapse if there's nothing in it
And you'll ask yourself
chorus:
Where is my mind?
Where is my mind?
Where is my mind?
Way out, in the water see it swimmin´
3. BIGMOUTH STRIKES AGAIN
Sweetness, sweetness I was only joking
When I said I'd like to smash every tooth
In your head
Oh ... sweetness, sweetness, I was only joking
When I said by rights you should be
Bludgeoned in your bed
And now I know how Joan of Arc felt
Now I know how Joan of Arc felt
As the flames rose to her roman nose
And her Walkman started to melt
Oh ...
Bigmouth, la ... bigmouth, la ...
Bigmouth strikes again
And I've got no right to take my place
With the Human race
Oh, bigmouth, la ... bigmouth, la
Bigmouth strikes again
And I've got no right to take my place
With the Human race
And now I know how Joan of Arc felt
Now I know how Joan of Arc felt
As the flames rose to her roman nose
And her hearing aid started to melt
Bigmouth, la ... bigmouth, la ...
Bigmouth strikes again
And I've got no right to take my place
With the Human race
Oh ...
Bigmouth, oh ... bigmouth, la ...
Bigmouth strikes again
And I've got no right to take my place
With the Human race
Oh ...
Bigmouth, oh ... bigmouth, la ...
Bigmouth strikes again
And I've got no right to take my place
With the Human race
Oh ...
Bigmouth, oh ... bigmouth, la ...
Bigmouth strikes again
And I've got no right to take my place
With the Human race
Oh ...
4. JOHNNY AND MARY
Johnny's always running around, trying to find certainty.
He needs all the world to confirm, that he aint lonely
Mary counts walls, knows he tires easily
Johnny thinks the world would be right, if it would buy, truth from him.
Mary says he changes his mind, more than a woman.
But she made her bed, even when the chance was slim.
Johnny says he's willing to learn, when he decides, he's a fool.
Johnny say's he'll live any where, when he earns time to.
Mary combs her hair, says she should be use to it.
Mary always hedges her bets, she never knows, what to think.
She says that he still acts, like he's being discovered.
Scared that he'll get caught, without a second thought
Johnny feels he's wasting his breath, trying to talk, sense to her
Mary says he's lacking a real, sense of proportion
So she combs her hair, knows he tires easily
Johnny's always running around, trying to find certainty.
He needs all the world to confirm, that he aint lonely
Mary counts walls, says she should be use to it.

6. THE BALLAD OF MELODY NELSON
"Pour l'amitié,
L'amitié entre hommes et femmes
Impensable
Parce que, il y a toujours
Sous jacent
Le désir animal"
This is the story of Melody Nelson
Apart from me, no one
Ever took her in his arms
Under her thumb, ice in the sun
She was nothing but love, poor Melody Nelson
Her life was more said than done
But her days were numbered nil
Count fourteen falls,
Fifteen on call
A baby tiger was Melody Nelson
Forever purring in the sun
Just as dangerous as a child with a gun
Shooting me down
Oh my melody, my Melody Nelson
Still playing hurting games for fun
As adorable as dumb
Deaf to the sound
To what's going down
7. HOLOCAUST
Your eyes are almost dead
can't get out of bed
And you can't sleep
You're sitting down to dress
and you're a mess
You look in the mirror
You look in your eyes
Then you realize
Everybody goes
leaving those
who fall behind
Everybody goes
as far as they can
They don't just care
They stood on the stairs
Laughing at your airs
Your mother's dead
She said
"Don't be afraid"
Your mother's dead
You're on your own
She's in her bed
Everybody goes
Leaving those
Who fall behind
Everybody goes
As far as they can
They don't just care
You're a wasted face
you're a sad-eyed lie
You're a holocaust
8. I FEEL YOU
I feel you
Your sun it shines
I feel you
Within my mind
You take me there
You take me where
The kingdom comes
You take me to
And lead me through
Babylon
This is the morning of our love
It’s just the dawning of our love
I feel you
Your heart it sings
I feel you
The joy it brings
Where heaven waits
Those golden gates
And back again
You take me to
And lead me through
Oblivion
This is the morning of our love
It’s just the dawning of our love
I feel you
Your precious soul
And I am whole
I feel you
Your rising sun
My kingdom comes
I feel you
Each move you make
I feel you
Each breath you take
Where angels sing
And spread their wings
My love’s on high
You take me home
To glory’s throne
By and by
This is the morning of our love
It’s just the dawning of our love

10. JACKIE
Jackie left on a cold, dark night
Telling me he'd be home,
Sailed the seas for a hundred years
And left me all alone.
Now I've been dead for twenty years
I've been washing the sand
with my ghostly tears
Searching the shore for my
Jackie oh
And I remember the day
that the young man came
Said your Jackie's gone
he's lost in the rain
And I ran to the beach
(Laid me down)
You're all wrong, I said
As they stared to the sand,
That man knows the sea
Like the back of his hand,
He'll be back sometime
Laughing at you
Now I've been waiting all this time,
For my man to come
Lay his hand in mine
And lead me away to unseen shores
I've been washing the sand
With my salty tears
Searching the shore these long years
And I walk the sea forevermore
Till I find my Jackie oh
Jackie oooh,
Jackie oooh,
Jackie oooh,
Oh
