BEAUTIFUL DAY

The heart is a bloom
Shoots up through the stony ground
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
Sky falls, you feel like
It's a beautiful day
Don't let it get away

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 that 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
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 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 colors came out

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

Touch me
Take me to that other place
Reach 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
Don't need it now
Was a beautiful day

Das Herz ist eine Blüte,
die durch den steinigen Boden schießt
da ist kein Raum
kein Raum zum mieten in dieser Stadt

Du bist aus dem Glück
und aus dem Grund vorsichtig zu sein, heraus
Der Verkehr ist stecken geblieben
und du bewegst dich nicht mehr

Du dachtest, du hättest einen Freund gefunden
der dich von diesem Ort fortbringt
Jemand, dem du deine Hand leihen kannst
im Gegenzug für Gnade

Es ist ein schöner Tag
Himmel fällt, du fühlst dich wie...
Es ist ein schöner Tag
lass ihn nicht entkommen

Du bist auf der Straße
aber du hast kein Ziel
Du bist im Matsch
im Labyrinth ihrer Vorstellungskraft

Du liebst diese Stadt
auch, wenn das nicht wahr klingt
Du bist überall gewesen
und es ist alles über dir gewesen

Es ist ein schöner Tag
lass ihn nicht entkommen
Es ist ein schöner Tag

Berühr mich
bring mich zu diesem anderen Ort
lehre mich
ich weiß, ich bin kein hoffnungsloser Fall

Sieh die Welt in grün und blau
sieh China genau vor dir
sieh die Berge gebrochen von den Wolken
sehe die Thunfischschwärme das Meer ausräumen
sieh die Beduinenfeuer in der Nacht
sieh die Ölfelder beim ersten Licht
Und sieh den Vogel mit einem Blatt in ihrem Mund
nach der Flut erschienen alle Farben

Es ist ein schöner Tag
lass ihn nicht entkommen
schöner Tag

Berühr mich
bring mich zu diesem anderen Ort
erreiche mich
ich weiß, ich bin kein hoffnungsloser Fall

Was du nicht hast, brauchst du jetzt nicht
Was du nicht weißt, kannst du irgendwie fühlen
Was du nicht hast, brauchst du jetzt nicht
du brauchst es jetzt nicht
es war ein schöner Tag

STUCK IN A MOMENT YOU CAN'T GET OUT OF

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

I never thought you were a fool
But darling look at you
You gotta stand up straight
Carry your own weight
These tears are going nowhere baby

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 colors that you bring
The nights you filled with fireworks
They left you with nothing

I am still enchanted
By the light you brought to me
I listen through your ears
Through your eyes I can see

And 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 you can't get out of it

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

I was unconscious, half asleep
The water is warm 'til 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 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

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

It's just a moment
This time will pass

Ich fürchte mich
vor nichts in dieser Welt,
es gibt nichts,dass du mir an den Kopf werfen kannst,
das ich noch nicht gehört habe.

Ich versuche nur
eine ehrenwürdige Melodie zu finden,
ein Lied, dass ich singen kann
meine eigene Komposition.

Ich hätte nie gedacht, dass du ein Narr bist
aber schau dich an Liebling.
Du musst gerade stehen
Dein eigenes Gewicht tragen,
diese Tränen bringen dich nirgendwo hin, baby.

Du musst dich zusammenreißen,
du bist gefangen in einem Moment,
und jetzt kannst du nicht davor fliehen.

Sag nicht, dass es später besser sein wird,
du bist jetzt in diesem Moment gefangen
und du kannst nicht davor fliehen.

Ich werde nicht aufgeben,
die Farben die du bringst,
die Nächte, die du mit Feuerwerken fülltest,
sie ließen dich allein.

Ich bin immer noch verzaubert
von dem Licht das du mir gebracht hast,
ich höre durch deine Ohren,
durch deine Augen kann ich sehen.

Und du bist so ein Narr,
solche Angst zu haben.
Ich weiß es ist hart,
und du kannst niemals genung bekommen,
von dem,was du jetzt nicht wirklich brauchst.

Du musst dich zusammenreißen,
du bist gefangen in einem Moment,
und jetzt kannst du nicht davor fliehen.

Sag nicht, dass es später besser sein wird,
du bist jetzt in diesem Moment gefangen
und du kannst nicht davor fliehen.

Ich war ohne Bewusstsein, im Halbschlaf,
das Wasser ist warm, bist du entdeckst wie tief es ist.

Ich bin nicht gesprungen, für mich war es ein Fall.
Ein langer Weg nach unten, ins Nichts.

Du musst dich zusammenreißen,
du bist gefangen in einem Moment,
und jetzt kannst du nicht davor fliehen.

Sag nicht, dass es später besser sein wird,
du bist jetzt in diesem Moment gefangen
und du kannst nicht davor fliehen.

Und wenn die Nacht vorbei ist,
und wenn der Tag nicht andauert,
und wenn unser Weg ins Stocken gerät,
auf dem steinigen Weg.

Und wenn die Nacht vorbei ist,
und wenn der Tag nicht andauert,
und wenn unser Weg ins Stocken gerät,
auf dem steinigen Weg.

Es ist nur ein Moment,
diese Zeit wird vergehen.

ELEVATION

High, higher than the sun
You shoot me from a gun
I need you to elevate me here

At corner of your lips
As the orbit of your hips
Eclipse
You elevate my soul

I've got no self control
Been living like a mole now
Going down, excavation
I and I in the sky
You make me feel like I can fly
So high
Elevation

A star
Lit up like a cigar
Strung out like a guitar
Maybe you can educate my mind

Explain all these controls
Can't sing but I've got soul
The goal is elevation

A mole
Digging in a hole
Digging up my soul now
Going down, excavation

I and I in the sky
You make me feel like I can fly
So high
Elevation

Love
Lift me up out of these blues
Won't you tell me something true
I believe in you

A mole
Digging in a hole
Digging up my soul now
Going down, excavation

Higher now
In the sky
You make me feel like I can fly
So high
Elevation

Elevation
Elevation
Elevation
Elevation

WALK ON

And love
Is not the easy thing
The only baggage
That you can bring
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 got
You can't deny it
Can't sell it or buy it

Walk on
Walk on
You stay safe tonight

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

Walk on
Walk on

Home
Hard to know what it is
If you 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

Leave it behind
You've got to leave it behind

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 care

(It's only time)
(And I'll never fill up all I find)


All that you sense
All that you scheme
All you dress up
And all that you see

All you create
All that you wreck
All that you hate

KITE

Something
Is about to give
I can feel it coming
I think I know what it means

I'm not afraid to die
I'm not afraid to live
And when I'm flat on my back
I hope to feel like I did

And hardness
It sets in
You need some protection
The thinner the skin

I want you to know
That you don't need me anymore
I want you to know
You don't need anyone
Or anything at all

Who's to say where the wind will take you
Who's to say what it is will break you
I don't know
Which way the wind will blow

Who's to know when the time has come around
Don't want to see you cry
I know that this is not goodbye

It's summer, I can taste the salty sea
There's a kite blowing out of control on the breeze
I wonder what's gonna happen to you
You wonder what has happened to me

I'm a man
I'm not a child
A man who sees
The shadow behind your eyes

Who's to say where the wind will take you
Who's to say what it is will break you
I don't know
Where the wind will blow

Who's to know when the time has come around
I don't want to see you cry
I know that this is not goodbye

Did I waste it
Not so much I couldn't taste it
Life should be fragrant
Rooftop to the basement

The last of the rocks stars
When hip hop drove the big cars
In the time when new media
Was the big idea
That was the big idea
top






IN A LITTLE WHILE

In a little while
Surely you'll be mine
In a little while I'll be there

In a little while
This hurt will hurt no more
I'll be home, love

When the night takes a deep breath
And the daylight has no air
If I crawl, if I come crawling home
WiIl you be there

In a little while
I won't (be) blow by every breeze
Friday night running
To Sunday on my knees

That girl, that girl
She's mine
And I've know her since

Since you were a little girl
With Spanish eyes
Oh, when I saw her
In a pram they pushed her by

My, how you've grown
Well it's been
It's been a little while

Slow down my beating heart
Man dreams one day to fly
A man takes a rocket ship into the skies
He lives on a star that's dying in the night
And follows in the trail
The scatter of light

Turn it on
Turn it on
You turn me on

Slow down my beating heart
Slowly, slowly love
Slow down my beating heart
Slowly, slowly love
Slow down my beating heart
Slowly, slowly love

WILD HONEY

In the days
When we were swinging form the trees
I was a monkey
Stealing honey from a swarm of bees

I could taste
I could taste you even then
And I would chase you down the wind

You can go there if you please
Wild honey
And if you go then go with me
Wild honey

Did I know you
Did I know you even then
Before the clocks kept time
Before the world was made

From the cruel sun
You were shelter
You were my shelter and my shade

If you go there with me
Wild honey
You can do just what you please
Wild honey

Yeah, just blowing in the breeze
Wild honey
Wild, wild, wild

I'm still standing
I'm still standing where you left me
Are you still growing wild
With everything tame around you

I send you flowers
Cut flowers for your hall
I know your garden is full
But is there sweetness at all

What is soul
Love me
Give me soul

If you go then go with me
Wild honey
Won't you take me, take me please
Wild honey

Yeah, swinging through the trees
Wild honey
Wild, wild, wild

PEACE ON EARTH

Heaven on earth
We need it now
I'm sick of all of this
Hanging around
Sick of sorrow
Sick of pain
Sick of hearing again and again
That there's gonna be
Peace on earth

Where I grew up
There weren't many trees
Where there was we'd tear them down
And use them on our enemies
They say that what you mock
Will surely overtake you
And you become a monster
So the monster will not break you

It's already gone too far
Who said if you go in hard
You won't get hurt

Jesus could you take the time
To throw a drowning man a line
Peace on earth
Tell the ones who hear no sound
Whose sons are living in the ground
Peace on earth
No whos or whys
No-one cries like a mother cries
For peace on earth
She never got to say goodbye
To see the colour in his eyes
Now he's in the dirt
That's peace on earth

They're reading names out over the radio
All the folks the rest of us won't get to know
Sean and Julia, Gareth, Ann and Breda
Their lives are bigger, than any big idea

Jesus could you take the time
To throw a drowning man a line
Peace on earth
Tell the ones who hear no sound
Whose sons are living in the ground
Peace on earth

Jesus this song you wrote
The words are sticking in my throat
Peace on earth
Hear it every Christmas time
But hope and history won't rhyme
So what's it worth?
This peace on earth

Peace on earth
Peace on earth
Peace on earth

Himmel auf Erden
Wir brauchen ihn jetzt
Ich habe genug von all dem
Herumhängen
Ich habe genug davon.
Genug von dem Leid,
Genug von den Schmerzen
Genug davon immer und immer wieder zu hören,
Dass es ihn geben wird.
Friede auf Erden

Da, wo ich groß geworden bin,
Gab es nicht viele Bäume.
Die, die da waren, wurden niedergerissen
Und gegen unsere Feinde verwendet.
Sie sagen, das was du verhöhnst,
Wird dich bestimmt einholen.
Und du wirst ein Monster,
Damit Dich das Monster nicht umbringen kann.

Und das ist schon viel zu weit gegangen.
Wer sagt, wenn du es hart angehst
Wirst du nicht verletzt?

Jesus kannst du dir die Zeit nehmen,
Einem ertrinkenden Menschen ein Seil zuzuwerfen?
Friede auf Erden
Erzähl denen, die nichts mehr hören,
deren Söhne den Kopf in den Boden gesteckt haben
Von Frieden auf Erden.
Kein Wer oder Warum
Keiner weint wie eine Mutter weint
Für Friede auf Erden
Sie konnte nie Auf Wiedersehen sagen
Um die Farbe in seinen Augen zu sehen
Jetzt ist er im Dreck
Friede auf Erden

Im Radio lesen sie Namen vor,
All diese Leute wird der Rest von uns nicht kennenlernen
Sean, Julia, Gareth, Ann, Brenda.
Ihre Leben sind größer als jede große Idee.

Jesus kannst du dir die Zeit nehmen,
Einem ertrinkenden Menschen ein Seil zuzuwerfen
Friede auf Erden
Erzähl denen, die nichts mehr hören,
Deren Söhne den Kopf in den Boden gesteckt haben
Von Friede auf Erden.

Jesus, dieses Lied, daß du geschrieben hast
Die Worte bleiben mir im Halse stecken
Friede auf Erden
Ich höre es jedes Jahr zu Weihnachten
Aber Hoffnung und Geschichte reimen sich nicht
Also was ist es wert?
Den Frieden auf Erden

Friede auf Erden
Friede auf Erden
Friede auf Erden

WHEN I LOOK AT THE WORLD

When you look at the world
What is it that you see
People find all kinds of things
That bring them to their knees

I see an expression
So clear and so true
That it changes the atmosphere
When you walk (in)to the room

So I try to be like you
Try to feel it like you do
But without you it's no use
I can't see what you see
When I look at the world

When the night is someone else's
And you're trying to get some sleep
When your thoughts are too expensive
To ever want to keep

When there's all kinds of chaos
And everyone is walking lame
You don't even blink now do you
Or even look away

So I try to be like you
Try to feel it like you do
But without you it's no use
I can't see what you see
When I look at the world

I can't wait any longer
I can't wait 'til I'm stronger
Can't wait any longer
To see what you see
When I look at the world

I'm in the waiting room
I can't see for the smoke
I think of you and your holy book
When the rest of us choke

Tell me, tell me
What do you see
Tell me, tell me
What's wrong with me

NEW YORK

In New York freedom looks like
Too many choices
In New York I found a friend
To drown out the other voices

Voices on a cell phone
Voices from home
Voices of the hard sell
Voices down a 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 hair dryer in your face
Hot as handbag and a can of mace
New York
I just got a place in New York

New York 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

The Irish been coming here for years
Feel like they own the place
They got the airport, city hall
Asphalt, asphalt
They even got the police

Irish, Italians, Jews and Hispanics
Religious nuts, political fanatics in the stew
Happily not like me and you
That's where I lost you

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

New York
New York

In New York I lost it all
To you and your vices
Still I'm staying on to figure out
My midlife crisis

I hit an iceberg in my life
You 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

In the stillness of the evening
When the sun has had its day
I heard your voice whispering
Come away now

New, New York
New...
New York

New York

GRACE

Grace
She takes the blame
She covers the shame
Removes the stain
It could be her name

Grace
It's a name for a girl
It's also a thought that
Changed the world

And when she walks on the street
You can hear the strings
Grace finds goodness
In everything

Grace
She's got the walk
Not on a ramp or on chalk
She's got the time to talk

She travels outside
Of karma, karma
She travels outside
Of karma

When she goes to work
You can hear the strings
Grace finds beauty
In everything

Grace
She carries a world on her hips
No champagne flute for her lips
No twirls or skips
Between her fingertips

She carries a pearl
In perfect condition
What once was hurt
What once was friction
What left a mark
No longer stings

Because grace makes beauty
Out of ugly things

Grace finds beauty
In everything

Grace finds goodness
In everything
