Tracks



01. Run For Cover

Run, run
Run, run

Run, you'd better find somewhere to run
You've made a fool of everybody
But you're not fooling anyone

Hide, you always need someplace to hide
But you can't hide from what's inside yourself
You just can't face it

Run, run for cover now
You'd better run for cover now
You'd better find some other place to hide
From loneliness inside

You'd better run
Run for cover now
You'd better run for cover now
Before it gets too late

Run, you're gonna run like out of time
You let the suffering behind now
And all the years have passed you by

Lies, I used to listen to you
Lies, but now I've learned to read between the lines
I've got your number

Run, run for cover now
You'd better run for cover now
You'd better find some other place to hide
From loneliness inside

You'd better run
Run for cover now
You'd better run for cover now
Before it gets too late

Run, run for cover now
You'd better run for cover now
You'd better find some other place to hide
From loneliness inside

You'd better run
Run for cover now
You'd better run for cover now
You'd better find some other place to hide
What's eating you inside

You'd better run
Run for cover now
You'd better run for cover now
Yeah

Run for cover
Run - run - run - run
Run - run - run - run
Run - run - run - run
Yeah

02. Reach For The Sky

Sometimes it seems
That you've had more than enough
As your life is going nowhere
And you feel like giving up
Sometimes you know
That you can't take anymore
When things are getting harder
Than they've ever been before

Don't lose your heart when things go wrong
You know what to do now
Just turn your back and carry on, come on

Reach for the sky
Come out with your hands up
Reach for the sky
Come out with your hands up

Sometimes it seems
Like you've really lost your way
When you're mind is full of doubt
You've got nothing left to say
You're going around in circles
Like a man who's running blind
But the world must keep on turning
And it's leaving you behind

Don't lose your heart when things go wrong
You know what to do now
You've got the strenght to carry on, come on

Reach for the sky
Come out with your hands up
Reach for the sky
Come out with your hands up

Reach for the sky
Reach for the sky
Reach for the sky

Don't lose your heart when things go wrong
You know what to do now
Just turn your back and carry on, come on

Reach for the sky
Come out with your hands up
Reach for the sky
Come out with your hands up

Reach for the sky
Come out with your hands up
Reach for the sky
Come out with your
Hands up, hands up, hands up

Reach for the sky
Reach for the sky
Reach for the sky
Reach for the sky

03. Military Man

Papa take a look at your boy
He's a military man
Papa take a look at your boy
He's crying
Papa take a look at your boy
He's a soldier
Papa take a look in his eyes
They're colder

Papa take a look at your boy
He's a military man
Mama take a look at your boy
He's dying
Mama take a look at your boy
He's fighting
Mama take a look at your boy
He's frightened

They have trained your boy to kill
And kill someday he will
They have trained your boy to die
And ask no questions why

Papa take a look at your boy
Take a look at your boy
Take a look at your boy
He's a killer, yeah

Mama take a look at your boy
Take a look at him now
Take a look at your boy
He's a soldier, he's colder, he's older, mama

Mama take a look at your boy
Obey the order
Mama take a look at your boy
Like a lamb to the slaughter

They have trained your boy to kill
And kill someday he will
They have trained your boy to die
And ask no questions why

One day, I will write for you a lovesong mother
As the children say, I love you, please hold me
And you and I, we will live our life together
Until that day when we die, I will love you mother
I will always love you

I'am writing from this war
Oh mama, I don't know what I'm fighting for
And have you seen my children?
God bless them, kiss them
And tell them that I miss them

See I'm frightened in the dark
Mama, mama
The blood is ankle-deep
They have trained your boy to kill
And kill someday he will
They have trained your boy to die

Mama take a look at your boy
Take a look at him now
Take a look at your boy
He's marching
He's a soldier

Oh brother, oh mama
He's on the street
He's marching to the backbeat

04. Empty Rooms

Loneliness is your only friend.
A broken heart that just won't mend
Is the price you pay.

It's hard to take when love grows old.
The days are long and the nights turn cold
When it fades away.

You hope that she will change her mind
But the days drift on and on.
You'll never know the reason why she's gone.

You see her face in every crowd.
You hear her voice, but you're still proud
So you turn away.

You tell yourself that you'll be strong.
But your heart tells you
This time you're wrong.

You hope that she will change her mind
But the days drift on and on.
You'll never know the reason why she's gone.

Empty rooms
Where we learn to live without love.
Empty rooms
Where we learn to live without love.
Empty rooms
Where we learn to live without love.

Empty rooms
Where we learn to live without love.
Empty rooms
Where we lea

05. Out Of My System

You're out of reach, you're out of touch
This time baby you've run out of love
You're out of sight, you're out of mind
Another heartache I've left behind

It doesn't make any difference
where you go from here
Too many times you've been running
I was here, over and over again

Well I've got you out of my system
I've got you out of my soul

We've been through this a thousand times
Too many partners for your perfect crimes
You turned your back when I was down
Well this time baby I won't be around

It doesn't make any difference
What you do or say
This time it's over forever
I'm on my way
Don't wanna see you again

Well I've got you out of my system
I've got you out of my soul
Well I've got you out of my system
And now I'm right outside your control

It doesn't make any difference
Where you go from here
Too many times you've been running
I was here, over and over again

Well I've got you out of my system
I've got you out of my soul
Well I've got you out of my system
And now I'm right outside your control
I've got you out of my system

Well I've got you out of my system
Out of my system
I've got you out of my soul
Out of my soul

Well I've got you out of my system

06. Out In The Fields

It doesn't matter
If you're wrong or if you're right
It makes no difference
If you're black or if you're white

All men are equal
Till the victory is won
No colour or religion
Ever stopped the bullet from a gun

Out in the fields
The fighting has begun
Out on the streets
They're falling one by one
Out from the skies
A thousand more will die each day
Death is just a heartbeat away

It doesn't matter
If you're left or to the right
Don't try to hide behind the cause
They want to fight

There'll be no prisoners taken
When the day is done
No flag, no uniform
Ever stopped the bullet from a gun

Out in the fields
The fighting has begun
Out on the streets
They're falling one by one
Out from the skies
A thousand more will die each day
Death is just a heartbeat away

There's no communication
No one to take the blame
The cries of every nation
They're falling on deaf ears again

Out in the fields
Out in the fields
They're falling one by one
Out in the fields
No flag has ever stopped
The bullet from a gun

Death is just a heartbeat away
Out in the fields
A heartbeat away
Out in the fields
Death is just a heartbeat away
Out in the fields
A heartbeat away
Out in the fields

In the fields
The fighting has begun
Out on the streets
They're falling one by one
Out from the skies
A thousand more will die each day

OUT!

07. Nothing To Lose

You live your life in a state of confusion
Never finding your way
You've had the breaks
But you're so disillusioned
You only live for today

You never stop for a red light
You never even try
You're on the wrong side of midnight
Too fast to live, but too young to die

Keep on rockin' and rollin'
Keep on singing the blues
Keep on rockin' and rollin'
You've got nothing to lose

You say that you've got a hot reputation
You never built it on trust
I say you're part of a lost generation
You got left in the dust

You never stop for a red light
You never even try
You're on the wrong side of midnight
Too fast to live, but too young to die

Keep on rockin' and rollin'
Keep on singing the blues
Keep on rockin' and rollin'
You've got nothing to lose

Keep on rockin' and rollin'
Keep on singing the blues
Keep on rockin' and rollin'
You've got nothing to lose

Yeah, nothing to lose

You never stop for a red light
You never even try
You're on the wrong side of midnight
Too fast to live, but too young to die

Keep on rockin' and rollin'
Keep on singing the blues
Keep on rockin' and rollin'
You've got nothing to lose

Keep on rockin' and rollin'
Keep on singing the blues
Keep on rockin' and rollin'
You've got nothing to lose

Keep on rockin' and rollin'
You've got nothing
Keep on rockin' and rollin'
No, no, you've got nothing to lose

Keep on rockin' and rollin'
Nothing, nothing, nothing
Keep on rockin' and rollin'
You've got nothing to lose

Keep on rockin' and rollin'
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
Keep on singing the blues
Nothing to lose

Keep on rockin' and rollin'
Keep on singing the blues
You've got nothing to lose

Keep on rockin' and rollin'
Nothing, nothing, nothing
Keep on singing the blues
You've got nothing to lose

08. Once In A Lifetime

I never met a woman
Who could make me feel the way you do
'Cause when I look into your eyes
You don't know what I'm going through

I was looking for someone to turn to
Something I'd never had before
And then you came into my life
Now I can open any door

Once in a lifetime
I could ever find someone like you
Once in a lifetime
I could ever find someone like you

I never met a girl before
Who could understand a man like me
'Cause when I hold you in my arms
I just know that this was meant to be

I was looking for some understanding
Something I'd never had before
And then you came into my life
Now I can open any door

Once in a lifetime
I could ever find someone like you
Once in a lifetime
I could ever find someone like you

Once in a lifetime
Just once in a lifetime
Once in a lifetime

I was looking for someone to turn to
Something I'd never had before
And then you came into my life
Now I can open any door

Once in a lifetime
I could ever find someone like you
Once in a lifetime
I could ever find someone like you

Once in a lifetime
That I could ever find someone like you
Just once in a lifetime
I could ever find someone like you

Once in a lifetime
Once in a lifetime
Once in a lifetime

09. All Messed Up

The party's over
I can't drink no more
My head is hurtin'
I'm looking for the door
But it's so hard to find
So hard to find

Walk to my car on my hands and my knees
Hand in my pocket
I'm looking for the keys
But they're so hard to find

Look at my son, he's no friend of mine
Reach for my shades before I go blind
Maybe tomorrow I don't wanna know
All messed up with no place to go

I'm seeing double
The whisky's to blame
I'm having trouble remembering my name
So hard to tell, it's so hard to tell

Can't get no sleep
There's a quarrel and fight
I'm not sure if I'm dead or alive
So hard to tell

Look at my son
He's no friend of mine
Reach for my shades before I go blind
Maybe tomorrow I don't wanna know
All messed up with no place to go

I can't believe it's really me in the mirror
Feel like I'm falling off the rails
Looks like a hellhouse on my tail

Look at my son
He's no friend of mine
Reach for my shades before I go blind
Maybe tomorrow I don't wanna know
All messed up with no place to go

All messed up with no place to go
All messed up with no place to go
All messed up with no place to go

All messed up
All messed up
All messed up with no place to go
All messed up with no place to go

10. Listen To Your Heartbeat

Outside the rain is falling
Inside it feels so cold
A view from a broken window
Faces that look so old

Every trick in the book you have tried
To make ends meet
Just remember those nights that you cried
There was nothing to do, but lie awake and

Listen to your heartbeat
Listen to the rhythm of your soul
Listen to your heartbeat
Listen to the rhythm of your soul

Outside the rain is falling
Inside it feels so cold
A view from a broken window
Faces that have grown so old

Every trick in the book you have tried
To make ends meet
Just remember those nights that you cried
There was nothing to do, but lie awake and

Listen your heartbeat
Listen to the rhythm of your soul
Listen to your heartbeat
Listen to the rhythm of your soul

Listen to your heartbeat
Listen to the rhythm of your soul

You thought the mourning served out years ago
There's no more records on the radio
No place to go

Every trick in the book you have tried
To make ends meet
Just remember the nights that you cried
There was nothing to do, but lie awake and

Listen to your heartbeat
Listen to the rhythm of your soul
Listen to your heartbeat
Listen to the rhythm of your soul

Listen to your heartbeat
Listen to the rhythm of your soul
Listen to your heartbeat
Listen to the rhythm of your soul

Listen to your heartbeat
Listen to the rhythm of the falling rain
Listen to your heartbeat
