I can feel it coming in the air tonight, Oh Lord
I′ve been waiting for this moment, all my life, Oh Lord
Can you feel it coming in the air tonight, Oh Lord, Oh Lord
Well, if you told me you were drowning
I would not lend a hand
I've seen your face before my friend
But I don′t know if you know who I am
Well, I was there and I saw what you did
I saw it with my own two eyes
So you can wipe off the grin, I know where you've been
It's all been a pack of lies
And I can feel it coming in the air tonight, Oh Lord
I′ve been waiting for this moment for all my life, Oh Lord
I can feel it in the air tonight, Oh Lord, Oh Lord
And I′ve been waiting for this moment all my life, Oh Lord, Oh Lord
Well I remember, I remember don't worry
How could I ever forget, it′s the first time, the last time we ever met
But I know the reason why you keep your silence up, no you don't fool me
The hurt doesn′t show; but the pain still grows
It's no stranger to you or me
And I can feel it coming in the air tonight
Swing low
In a dark glass hour
You turn and cower
See it turn to dust
Move on a sone dark night
We take to fight
Snowfall turns to rust
Seam in a fusing mine
Like a nursing rhyme
Fat man start to fall
Long year in a hostile place
I hear your face start to call
And if you think
That I′ve been loosing my way
That's because I'm slightly blinded
And if you think
That I don′t make too much sense
That′s because
I'm broken minded
Don′t keep it ...
Inside
If you believe it
Don't keep it all inside
Strong words
In a ganges sky
I have to lie
Shadows move in Paris
Ring out from a bruised postcard
In the shooting yard
Looking through the tears
Out of the black slate time
We move in line
But never reach an end
Fall in a long stray town
As the ice comes round
River starts to bend
And if you think
That I′ve been loosing my way
That's because I′m slightly blinded
And if you think
That I don't make too much sense
That's because
I′m broken minded
Don′t keep it ...
Inside
If you believe it
Don't keep it all inside
Each night I taste the silence
Of the words in my throat
Each day we hide in laughter
When they turn round and float
Do you lie back and thing of England
As they shout in your face
Stand up and give them flowers
Mary full of grace
Temper′s out of control again
There's an itch in my soul again
If I scratch it I will rest in peace
Each day I′m in the future
Of a net curtained past
Each day I'm out of pocket
Time didn′t last
Each night I wake up smoking
And my eyes start to sting
Wish I could keep them open
When the trees start to sing
Temper's out of control again
There's an itch in my soul again
If I scratch it I will rest in peace
Each night I taste the silence
Of the words in my throat
Each day we hide in laughter
When they turn round and float
Temper′s out of control again
There′s an itch in my soul again
If I scratch it I will rest in peace
If I scratch it I will rest in peace
Rest in peace
I'm a million miles from anywhere, where can I be
Somewhere out on the ocean
Just take a look at the horizon, what can you see
There′s nothing there for me
I feel shipwrecked, I might as well be shipwrecked
I'm helpless and alone, drifting out to sea
I can′t believe what you said to me
Even standing on the corner of a busy city street
I still feel so lonely
Why do you say you want to be with me
But the next day say you don't
I′m shipwrecked, I might as well be shipwrecked
I'm helpless and alone drifting out to sea
I can't believe what you said to me
Without you i feel shipwrecked
But I can′t let it show
A million miles away from anywhere
Is it my imagination
Or is it getting darker, are the waves getting higher
I′m a million miles from anywhere
A million miles from anything I know
You know that's why I′m shipwrecked
I might as well be shipwrecked
I'm helpless and alone drifting out to sea
I can′t believe what you said to me
You know that's why I′m shipwrecked, shipwrecked
Losing my direction
Please come and rescue me
Shipwrecked, Shipwrecked, Shipwrecked
Alittle piece of something
Falling gently down down down
No one understands you like I do
I'd rather be beside you
Everything we know so well
Tell me what you feel now
Show me what you think of it
It's not about us anymore
It′s all about the reasons
That we think we′re fighting for
It's not about hate
It′s not about pain we always feel
I know we have our problems
But we're not the only ones
It′s not about you, it's not about me
It′s not about anger
It's more about the loneliness we feel
How can I begin to
Ask for some forgiveness
For all that we have taken
There's nothing left now
Just a little piece of something
Falling gently down down down
No one understands you no no
Like I do
There′s nothing left now
It′s not about us anymore
It's all about the reasons
That we think we′re fighting for
It's not about hate
It′s not about pain we always feel
I know we have our problems
But we're not the only ones
It′s not about you, it's not about me
It's not about anger
It′s more about the loneliness we feel
It′s not about us
It's not about hate
It′s more about the loneliness we feel
It's not about anger
It′s not about wanting
I know we have our problems
But we're not the only ones
Some things disappear inside,
Should I try to run away
If I could I would escape you
I won′t argue anymore, I have lost the will to be
Hope you don't think I'm ungrateful?
Why, why are you laughing?
Is it something that I said?
I don′t like this place at all,
Makes me wonder what I′m here for
Someone take this pain away
Dying to see another day
And I don't want to be your friend,
Or pretend I can fit into
I′m incensed, I'm blown away
Dying to see another day
Close th curtains lock the door,
Left my note upon the stair
In the hope you woudn′t read it
Fake emotions in my head,
Everything I've seen and read
Can′t begin to find the reason
I don't like this place at all,
Makes me wonder what I'm here for
Someone take this pain away
Dying to see another day
And I don′t want to be your friend,
Or pretend I can fit into
I′m incensed, I'm blown away
Dying to see another day
Sarah, sweet Sarah, hold me so close to you
Reach out, no reason needed
You′re the one for me, Sarah
You're the one for me
Like a dream come true, so beautiful
I will be with you forever
And if the nights grow cold, I′ll be there for you
Please don't make me wait
People surround me, offers of sympathy
I just want to be left alone
Sarah, sweet Sarah, hold me so close to you
Take in all I say, listen carefully
Words I want you to remember
And if the nights grow cold, I′ll be there for you
Please don't make me wait
People don't make me wait
People surround me, offers of sympathy
I just want to be left alone
Sarah, I′ll miss you
I don′t regret all that we shared together
Everything I need, given to me
God is my witness I can feel you
There! Before my very eyes, a vision to me
Don't put out this fire
It′s burning for me, burning for you
Stand within the sunlight, press against me
Take me back to other times, different days
Love I do surrender, it belongs to
Belongs to me, belongs to me
Lay down on me, naked gypsy
Watching you bathe in water
False childhood lies, fear in your eyes
Give me a son and daughter
There is nothing I can't see in my mind
A picture of you painted, so vividly
Blood runs through my fingers
And in through
Through my light, through my darkness
Lay down on me, naked gypsy
Watching you bathe in water
False childhood lies, fear in your eyes
Give me a son and daughter
Wish I could, wish I could see you
Lay down on me, naked gypsy
Watching you bathe in water
False childhood lies, fear in your eyes
Give me a son and daughter
Lay down on me, naked gypsy
Watching you bathe in water
False childhood lies, fear in your eyes
Give me a son and daughter
Son and daughter
Another Saturday night
I′m sitting here at home
Ain't got nobody
I′m all alone
Sometimes it seems
Like there's no-one to love me
No more
Oh oh oh
So I put on some jeans
And I head off down town
To look for some fun
But there's none to be found
Sometimes it seems
Like there′s no one to party
No more
Oh oh oh
Maybe I′m getting old
But I'm not getting grey
Brighten up your life
In that old familiar way
(What you going to do)
You′ve got to swing your bag
(Swing your bag baby)
Let your hair hang down
(Swing it swing it)
Always look behind
Before touching your toes
You've got to swing your bag
(Swing your bag baby)
Right around your head
(Swing it swing it)
Whenever your life
Is becoming a drag
Swing you bag
So if watching the box
Becomes top of the bill
Get some insurance
Maybe make out your will
You only live once
But it′s never too late
You can even swing your bag
Up at those pearly gates
Maybe I'm getting old
But I′m not going grey
Brighten up your life
In that old familiar way
(What you going to do)
When I wake you're holding me
Like a child to its father
I can feel the real love I could love no other
In your eyes I see innocence
You're so beautifully naive
To me you are so beautiful I could never leave
You′re always in my heart
However far apart we may be
Always in my heart
And my life you could share with me
Always stay with me
I can′t stand to see you're crying
It just breaks me up inside
Takes a hold of my devotion
And waves goodbye
We might not grow old together
We will never be apart
I guess some things will never change
You′re always in my heart
You're always in my heart
However far apart we may be
Always in my heart
And my life you could share with me
Always stay with me
Stay with me
Walking across the sitting-room, I turn the television off
Sitting beside you, I look into your eyes
As the sound of motor cars fades in the night time
I swear I saw your face change, it didn′t seem quite right
...And it's hello babe with your guardian eyes so blue
Hey my baby don′t you know our love is true
Coming closer with our eyes, a distance falls around our bodies
Out in the garden, the moon seems very bright
Six saintly shrouded men move across the lawn slowly
The seventh walks in front with a cross held high in hand
...And it's hey babe your supper's waiting for you
Hey my baby, don′t you know our love is true
I′ve been so far from here
Far from your warm arms
It's good to feel you again
It′s been a long long time. Hasn't it?
There is lambswool under my naked feet
The wool is soft and warm
Gives off some kind of heat
A salamander scurries into flame to be destroyed.
Imaginary creatures are trapped in birth on celluloid
The fleas cling to the golden fleece
Hoping theyll find peace
Each thought and gesture are caught in celluloid.
Theres no hiding in my memory
Theres no room to void
The crawlers cover the floor in the red ochre corridor
For my second sight of people, theyve more lifeblood than before
Theyre moving. Theyre moving in time to a heavy wooden door
Where the needles eye is winking, closing in on the poor
The carpet crawlers heed their callers:
Weve got to get in to get out
Weve got to get in to get out
Theres only one direction in the faces that I see
Its upward to the ceiling, where the chambers said to be
Like the forest fight for sunlight, that takes root in every tree
They are pulled up by the magnet, believing that theyre free
The carpet crawlers heed their callers:
Weve got to get in to get out
Weve got to get in to get out.
Mild mannered supermen are held in kryptonite
And the wise and foolish virgins giggle with their bodies glowing bright
Through a door a harvest feast is lit by candlight
Its the bottom of a staircase that spirals out of sight
The carpet crawlers heed their callers:
Weve got to get in to get out
Weve got to get in to get out.
The porcelain mannikin with shattered skin fears attack
The eager pack lift up their pitchers- the carry all they lack
The liquid has congealed, which has seeped out through the crack
And the tickler takes his stickleback
The carpet crawlers heed their callers:
Weve got to get in to get out
Weve got to get in to get out.
September ′77
Port Elizabeth weather fine
It was business as usual
In police room 619
Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko
Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko
Yihla Moja, Yihla Moja
-The man is dead
When I try to sleep at night
I can only dream in red
The outside world is black and white
With only one colour dead
Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko
Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko
Yihla Moja, Yihla Moja
-The man is dead
You can blow out a candle
But you can't blow out a fire
Once the flames begin to catch
The wind will blow it higher
Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko
Yihla Moja, Yihla Moja
-The man is dead
And the eyes of the world are
Watching now
Watching now
I can′t see you mama
But I can hardly wait
Oh to touch and to feel you mama

′Cause its getting so hard - oh

You′re taking away my last chance
Don′t take it away
Can't you feel my heart?
Ha ha, ha ha ha, ha, argh

But I can hardly wait
My eyes they're burning mama
And I can feel my body shake
Don′t stop, don't stop me mama
Oh make the pain, make it go away - hey
No I won′t hurt you mama
But its getting so hard - oh
Now I can't see you mama
But I know you're always there
You taunt, you tease me mama
But I never never can keep away

Oh got me running and I just can′t brake
So stay don't leave me mama
′Cause its getting so hard - oh

No no no, don't go...
