1. HANDS ACROSS THE OCEAN

Every time I think of you it's like the last beat of my heart
The memory of leaving you is tearing me apart
No waves, no tears, no backward glance
But I'll always hold you dear
Never regret but I'll never forget
'Cos there's not enough heaven here

Hands across the ocean, reaching out for you
Across the waves, across the water
Hands, across the ocean
Ocean

And every time I'm missing you I just can't let it show
And every time I want to cry, I just can't let it go
Wine and song and masquerade and refuge holds me dear
Ribbons and lace and daisy chains
But there's not enough heaven here

Hands across the ocean, reaching out for you
Across the waves, across the water, reaching out for you
Hands across the ocean, reaching out for you
Across the waves, across the water
Hands, across the ocean

Bangles, beads and lipstick games
And comfort holds me dear
Velvet and lace and perfumed sheets
But there's not enough heaven
Not enough heaven here

Hands across the ocean, reaching out for you
Across the waves, across the water, reaching out for you
Hands across the ocean, reaching out for you
Across the waves, across the water
Hands, across the ocean
Ocean
Ocean
Ocean

Hands across the ocean, reaching out for you
Across the waves, across the water
Hands, across the ocean


2. THE GRIP OF DISEASE

Sometimes I feel just like Jesus Christ
Nailed to the cross, betrayed and crucified
A crown of thorns cutting into my skin
A palace and a throne and a kingdom of my own
Knights in armour and courtesans, maids in waiting with blood on their hands
The king's white throne can't get blood from a stone

I'm falling, into the arms of Nemesis
I'm falling, into the grip of disease

Cold comfort is success and I can feel my blood freeze
Reason with the dust and blown away by the breeze
How cruel the stars, that shine so hard

I'm falling, into the arms of Nemesis
I'm falling, into the grip of

Disease

Attend his masquerader and all I ever need is the truth
But the truth of it all is that there's no truth at all
Like the truth of the cry from the new born child
So why? Just tell me why, does Jesus cry?

I'm falling, into the arms of Nemesis
I'm falling, into the grip of disease
I'm falling, into the arms of Nemesis
I'm falling, into the grip of disease

Disease, disease, disease


3. DIVIDED WE FALL

I'm the father of a bastard child and I'm not talking about my daughter
I feel that my head's on the chopping block, like a lamb being led
Being led to slaughter

I close my eyes but sleep won't come and now I've got the devil to pay
I'm so sick and tired of this masquerade
How many loaves? do you think I can bleed?

Do you feel? Do you feel it at all?
Cos together we stand but divided we fall

I lower my guns to play Russian roulette
But I'm too damn scared to pull the trigger
Cos a bullet in the head would leave me dead
And it's better to live as a rock and roll nigger

Do you feel? Do you feel it at all?
Cos together we stand but divided we fall

The monkey fights a mother like a man fights himself
And it's always a fight without a winner
Those endless lines on the way to hell
Cos heaven never welcomes a sinner

Do you feel? Do you feel it at all?
Cos together we stand but divided we fall
Do you feel? Do you feel it at all?
Cos together we stand but divided we fall


4. MERCENARY

You're a sycophantic, bullshitting, cock sucking, ass licking, mercenary
Mind numbing, money grabbing, motherfucking scum of the earth, mercenary
You're a cringing, grovelling chicken shit, pissing waste of time
You're a crawling, whining hypocrite, you fucking piece of slime
You can take the money and run, but there's nowhere you can hide,
You asshole mercenary

Send you woman I done by
But you took me for a ride, you shitty mercenary
You're a parasite of the fucking world, cockroach I wanna kill
If I don't catch you first then instant karma will
So screw you, fuck you
Screw you, fuck you
You're a cringing, grovelling chicken shit, pissing waste of time
You're a crawling, whining hypocrite, you fucking piece of slime


5. MR. PLEASANT (THE KINKS COVER)

Oh, Mr Pleasant, how is Mrs Pleasant?
I hope the world is treating you right and your head's in the air
And you're feeling so proud 'cos you're such a success
Cos the whole wide world is on your side, hey hey

Do you like prosperity more than you like poverty?

Life is easier, so much easier, life is easier, now

Oh Mr Pleasant, how is Mrs Pleasant? Did you know she was flirting
Around with a lovely young man? And he's taking her out, when you
Have to work late
So it's not so pleasant after all, hey hey

Mr Pleasant's OK, Mr Pleasant don't mind
As long as Mr Pleasant's alright, hey hey

How are you today? La la la.....

6. KINGDOM COME (FOREVER AND AGAIN)

Desert rat cry me wolf
Shedding skin upon you lips
I pray
For the love of madness
For the hand that takes the grip
And we close our eyes
To forgive and forget
And we close our eyes
To forgive and forget
With bated breath for the kingdom come
With bated breath for the kingdom come

I build myself a brave asylum
And ask all the madmen to play host
And when the colours all fade away
It's time for us to give the ghost
Give up the ghost

And we close our eyes
To dream a while
And we close our eyes
To dream a while
Dream a while
With bated breath for the kingdom come
With bated breath for the kingdom come

And while we're talking in tongues
Of animal behaviour
With a flick of the wrist you could've broken my heat
And done yourself a favour
And I cry in the heat
For the promised and given

The hand I once would trust
Now for the love of heaven
You won't see me
See me for dust

And we close our eyes
To love again
And we close our eyes
To love again
Love again
With bated breath for the kingdom come
With bated breath for the kingdom come
With bated breath for the kingdom come
With bated breath for the kingdom come


7. HEAVEN SENDS YOU

I'll kiss the sleep from your eyes
I'll kiss you when the sun goes down
I'll kiss your until sunrise
I'll kiss the skin from your lips
And I'll kiss you on your fingertips
And I'll kiss you on the back of your neck
And I'll kiss you behind your ears
And I'll kiss away your tears and fears
And I'll kiss away those hurting years
And I'll kiss away those cruel dark hours
And I'll kiss the petals on your flower
I'll kiss you, I'll kiss you
I'll kiss you until heaven sends you

I'll kiss you between your toes
I'll kiss you on the bottom of your feet
I'll run my tongue across your back
I'll kiss you behind your naked knees
I'll kiss your breast, I'll drink your milk
I'll run my tongue between your lips
I'll kiss you, kiss you, kiss you on your sex
And I'll take you, take you, take you in my mouth
And I'll kiss you, kiss you until heaven sends you


8. SWEET SMILE OF A MYSTERY

Man seeks the wisdom of woman
Man needs the comfort of her breast
Like a babe in arms, a suckling child
She keeps me safe and warm
In pressing it on test it and strong
She stands before me naked and bare
But woman
You are the sweet smile of a mystery to me

Woman reaches out across eternity
She brings out the hope, the fear and the child
She brings out the very essence of me
She's the maid of heaven, she's mother of earth
She's nature's child, she's the virgin birth
She's my sister, she's my mother
She's my daughter and she's my lover
But woman, woman
You are the sweet smile of a mystery to me


9. TOWER OF STRENGTH (THE CASBAH MIX)

You raise me up
When I'm on the floor
You see me through
When I'm lonely and scared
And I'm feeling true to the written word
And you're true to me
And still I need more
It would tear me apart
To feel no one ever cared
For me
For me
For me
You are a tower of strength to me

You stand firm and proud
When the wind blows in your face
And when the sun shines in your eyes
You just turn your head away
To me
To me
To me
You are a tower of strength to me

You rescue me
You are my faith
My hope
My liberty
And when there is darkness all around
You shine bright for me
You are the guiding light

To me
To me
To me
You are a tower of strength to me

You are all passion and heart
When I lay in your embrace
And heaven is in your kiss
Salvation lies just a touch away

To me
To me
To me
You are a tower of strength to me


10. BUTTERFLY ON A WHEEL (TROUBADOUR MIX)

Silver and gold and it's growing cold
Autumn leaves lay as thick as thieves
Shivers down your spine chill you to the bone
'Cos the mandolin wind is the melody that turns your heart to stone
The heat of your breath carving shadows in the mist
Every angel has the wish that she's never been kissed
A broken dream haunting in your sleep
And hiding in your smile
A secret you must keep, love cuts you deep

Love breaks the wings of a butterfly on a wheel
Love breaks the wings of a butterfly on a wheel

There's no scarlet in you, lay your veil down for me
As sure as god made wine, you can't wrap your arms around a memory
Take warmth from me, cold autumn wind cut sharp as a knife
And in the dark for me, you're the candle flame that flickers to life

Love breaks the wings of a butterfly on a wheel
Love breaks the wings of a butterfly on a wheel
Love breaks the wings of a butterfly on a wheel
Love breaks the wings of a butterfly on a wheel

Wise man say all is fair in love and war
And there's no right or wrong in the design of love
And I could only watch as the wind crushed your wings
Broken and torn, crushed like a flower under the snow
And like the flower in spring
Love will rise again to heal your wings

Love heals the wings of a butterfly on a wheel
Love heals the wings of a butterfly on a wheel
Love heals the wings of a butterfly on a wheel
Love heals the wings of a butterfly on a wheel


11. LOVE (JOHN LENNON COVER)

Love is real, real is love
Love is feeling, feeling love
Love is wanting to be loved
Love is touch, touch is love
Love is reaching, reaching love
Love is asking to be loved
Love is you, you and me
Love is knowing we can be
Love is free, free is love
Love is living, living love
Love is needing to be loved


12. BIRD OF PASSAGE

There's a lump in my throat and an ache in my heart
There's tears in my eyes, 'cos we're an ocean apart
There's nothing quite as real as being on my own
Nothing quite as true as being all alone
This bird has flown
But when the summer has passed she'll come back home

Love, come wing your way
Sweet bird of passage, come home to stay
Love, come wing your way
Sweet bird of passage, come home to lay with me
May you stay with me forever

With the change of seasons, she flies her nest
And like the sun at dusk, she sets to the west
Loneliness is the cross I bear
Solitude is the cloak I wear
I miss you, I need you, I love you
When the autumn comes I'll be waiting for you

Love, come wing your way
Sweet bird of passage, come home to stay
Love, come wing your way
Sweet bird of passage, come home to lay with me
May you stay with me forever
Forever, forever, forever
