And love is not the easy thing
The only baggage you can bring
And love is not the easy thing
The only baggage you can bring
Is all that you can't leave behind

And if the darkness is to keep
Us apart
And if the daylight feels like it's
A long way off
And if your glass heart should crack
And for a second you turn back
Oh no, be strong

Walk on, walk on
What you got they can't steal it
No they can't even feel it
Walk on, walk on
Stay safe tonight

You're packing a suitcase for a place
None of us has been
A place that has to be believed
To be seen
You could have flown away
A singing bird in an open cage
Who will only fly
Only fly for freedom

Walk on, walk on
What you've got they can't deny it
Can't sell it or buy it
Walk on, walk on
Stay safe tonight

And I know it aches
And your heart it breaks
You can only take so much
Walk on

Walk on

Home
Hard to know what it is
If you've never had one
Home
I can't say where it is
But I know I'm going
Home
That's where the hurt is

And I know it aches
And your heart it breaks
You can only take so much
Walk on

All that you fashion
All that you make
All that you build
All that you break
All that you measure
All that you feel
All this you can leave behind

All that you reason
All that you sense
All that you speak
All you dress up

And if the darkness is to keep
Us apart
And if the daylight feels like it's
A long way off
And if your glass heart should crack
And for a second you turn back
Oh no, be strong

Walk on, walk on
What you got they can't steal it
No they can't even feel it
Walk on, walk on
Stay safe tonight

You're packing a suitcase for a place
None of us has been
A place that has to be believed
To be seen
You could have flown away
A singing bird in an open cage
Who will only fly
Only fly for freedom

Walk on, walk on
What you've got they can't deny it
Can't sell it or buy it
Walk on, walk on
Stay safe tonight

I know it aches
And your heart it breaks
But you can only take so much

Walk on
Walk on
Leave it behind
You've got leave it behind

All that you fashion
All that you make
All that you build
And all that you break
All that you measure
All that you deal
You count on two fingers
All that you steal

Ha le, ha le, ha le, ha le
Ha le, ha le, ha le, ha le
Ha le, ha le, ha le, ha le
Ha le, ha le, ha le, ha le
Ha le, ha le, ha le, ha le

The heart is a bloom
Shoots up through the stony ground
But there's no room
No space to rent in this town
You're out of luck
And the reason that you had to care
The traffic is stuck
And you're not moving anywhere
You thought you'd found a friend
To take you out of this place
Someone you could lend a hand
In return for grace

It's a beautiful day
The sky falls
And you feel like
It's a beautiful day

You're on the road
But you've got no destination
You're in the mud
In the maze of her imagination
You love this town
Even if it doesn't ring true
You've been all over
And it's been all over you

It's a beautiful day
Don't let it get away
Beautiful day

Touch me
Take me to that other place
Teach me
I know I'm not a hopeless case

See the world in green and blue
See China right in front of you
See the canyons broken by cloud
See the tuna fleets clearing the sea out
See the Bedouin fires at night
See the oil fields at first light and
See the bird with a leaf in her mouth
After the flood all the colours came out

It's a beautiful day
Don't let it get away
Beautiful day

Touch me
Take me to that other place
Teach me
I know I'm not a hopeless case

What you don't have
You don't need it now
What you don't know
You can feel it somehow
What you don't have
You don't need it now
You don't need it now
Don't need it now

It's a beautiful day

Soul, goal
The goal is soul
Goal, goal, goal
The goal is soul
Sing it

Beautiful day

In New York freedom feels like
Too many choices
In New York I found a friend
To drown out the other voices
Voices on the cell phone
Voices from home
Voices of the hard sell
Voices down the stairwell
In New York
Just got a place in New York

In New York summers get hot
Well into the hundreds
You can't walk around the block
Without a change of clothing
Hot as a hairdryer in your face
Hot as a handbag and a can of mace
New York
I just got a place in New York

In New York you can forget
Forget how to sit still
Tell yourself you will stay in
But it's down to Alphaville

New York, New York
New York, New York
New York, New York
New York, New York

The Irish have been coming there for years
Feels like they own the place
They got the airport, city hall, concrete
Asphalt, they even got the police
Irish, Italian, Jews and Hispanics
Religious nuts, political fanatics in the stew
Living happily not like me and you
That's where I lost you
NewYork

New York, New York
New York
New York, New York
In New York
In New York
In New York

In New York I lost it all
To you and your vices
Still I'm staying on to figure out
My mid wife crisis
I hit an iceberg in my life
But yeah I'm know I'm still afloat
You lose your balance
Lose your wife
In the queue for the lifeboat

You got to put the women
And children first
But you've got an unquenchable thirst
For New York

New York, New York
New York
New York, New York

In the stillness of the evening
When the sun has had its day
I thought I heard you whisper
Come away child

New York

New York, New York

As long as the night is coloured
Blue and black
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah

As long as you're on your knees
And she's not on her back
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah

Avenue Atlantico
Seventeen-o-two
She's cocoa butter
Baby, she's the glue

She's got the baby
At her breast
She knows big girls are best

Oh mama, mama, mama, ma
Oh mama, mama, mama, ma

I'm gonna change like the weather
Hot to cold
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
She keeps it all together
She's got the mother load
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah

She feels it
Every sensation
She's got a smile
Like salvation
She's got a baby
At her breast
She knows big girls are best

Oh mama, mama, mama, ma
Sexy mama, mama, mama, ma
Oh mama, mama, mama, ma
Sexy mama, mama, mama, ma

She's elliptical
Also political
All so spiritual
Not superficial
Yeah, she's tropical
Yes, she's illogical
Those little girls are a pest
Big girls are the best

Ohhh, ohhh, ohhh
Ohhh, ohhh, ohhh

As long as the night is coloured
Blue and black
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah

As long as you're on your knees
And she's not on her back
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah

She can taste every sensation
She's got a smile
Like salvation
She got a baby
A baby at her breast
She walk like she talk
Big girls are best

Big Girls

Oh mama, mama, mama, ma
Sexy mama, mama, mama, ma
Oh mama, mama, mama, ma
Sexy mama, mama, mama, ma

It's a beautiful day
Don't let it get away
Beautiful day

The heart is a bloom
Shoots up through the stony ground
But there's no room
No space to rent in this town
You're out of luck
And the reason that you had to care
The traffic is stuck
And you're not moving anywhere
You thought you'd found a friend
To take you out of this place
Someone you could lend a hand
In return for grace

It's a beautiful day
The sky falls
And you feel like
It's a beautiful day

Touch me
Take me to that other place
Teach me, love
I know I'm not a hopeless case

You're on the road
But you've got no destination
You're in the mud
In the maze of her imagination
You love this town
Even if it doesn't ring true
You've been all over
And it's been all over you

It's a beautiful day
The sky falls
And you feel like
It's a beautiful day

Touch me
Take me to that other place
Teach me
I know I'm not a hopeless case

See the Bedouin fires at night
See the oil fields at first light
See the bird with a leaf in her mouth
After the flood all the colours came out

It was a beautiful day
Don't let it get away
Beautiful day

It's a beautiful day
The sky falls
And you feel like
It's a beautiful day

What you don't have
You don't need it now
What you don't know
You can feel it somehow
What you don't have
You don't need it now
You don't need it now
You don't need it now

Beautiful day

how long to sing this song)

(What can I give back to God
For the blessings he poured out on me
What can I give back to God
For the blessings he poured out on me
A cup of salvation
Here's a toast to our father
Follow through on the promise
He made to us
King of heart)

I wanna run
I want to hide
I wanna tear down the walls
That hold me tonight
I wanna reach out
And touch the flame
Where the streets have no name

I wanna feel
Sunlight on my face
I see the dust cloud
Disappear without a trace
I wanna dance, dance, dance
From the dirty rain
Where the streets have no name

Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name
We're still building and burning down love
Burning down love
And when I go there
I go there with you
It's all I can do

The city's a flood
And our love turns to rust
We're beaten and blown by the wind
Trampled in dust
I'll show you a place
High on a desert plain
Where the streets have no name

Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name
Still we're building and burning down love
Burning down love
And when I go there
I go there with you
It's all I can do

Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name
Still we're building and burning down love
Burning down love
And when I go there
I go there with you
It's all I can do
It's all we can do
This is all we can do

(Right)
What we would like to do now is
Go live from Toronto to London
To the secret policemen's ball
Which is a mysterious and
Extraordinary event
That certainly changed my life
When I was, I don't know, changeable
I still am, this is Stay)

Green light, Seven Eleven
You stop in for a pack of cigarettes
You don't smoke, don't even want to
Hey now, check your change
Dressed up like a car crash
Your wheels are turning but you're upside down
You say when he hits you
You don't mind
Because when he hurts you
You feel alive
Ohhh now, is that what it is

Red lights, grey morning
You stumble out of a hole in the ground
A vampire or a victim
It depends on who's around
You used to stay in to watch the adverts
You could lip synch to the talk shows

And if you look, you look through me
And when you talk, it's not to me
And when I touch you, you don't feel a thing

If I could stay
Then the night would give you up
Stay and the day would keep its trust
If I could
Stay and the night would be enough

Faraway, so close
Up with the static and the radio waves
With satellite television
You can go anywhere
Miami, New Orleans
London, Belfast from Toronto

And if you listen I can't call
And if you jump, you just might fall
And if you shout, I'll only hear you

If I could stay
Then the night would give you up
Stay and the day would keep its trust
Stay with the spirit I found
Stay with the demons you drowned
Stay and the night would be enough

Ohhh, ohhhh, ohhhh, ohhhh, ohhhh
Ohhh, ohhhh, ohhhh, ohhhh, ohhhh
Ohhh, ohhhh, ohhhh, ohhhh, ohhhh
Ohhh, ohhhh, ohhhh, ohhhh, ohhhh

Three o'clock in the morning
It's quiet and there's no one around
Just the bang and the clatter
As an angel runs to ground

Just the bang and the clatter
As an angel
Hits the ground

Thank you

I'm not afraid of anything in this world
There's nothing you can throw at me
That I haven't already heard
I'm just trying to find a decent melody
A song that I can sing in my own company

You've got to get yourself together
You've got stuck in a moment
And now you can't get out of it
Don't say that later will be better
Now you're stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it

I will not forsake, the colours that you bring
The nights you filled with fireworks
They left you with nothing
I am still enchanted of the light you brought to me
I still listen through your ears
And through your eyes I can see

You are such a fool
To worry like you do
I know it's tough
And you can never get enough
Of what you don't really need now
My oh my

You've got to get yourself together
You've got stuck in a moment
And now you can't get out of it
Oh love look at you now
You've got yourself stuck in a moment
And now you can't get out of it

I was unconscious, half asleep
The water is warm till you discover how deep
I wasn't jumping
For me it was a fall
It's a long way down to nothing at all

You've got to get yourself together
You've got stuck in a moment
And now you can't get out of it
Don't say that later will be better now
You're stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it

And if the night runs over
And if the day won't last
And if our way should falter
Along the stony pass

It's just a moment
This time will pass
