SO BE IT The Lyrics
SOMETHING WORTH FIGHTING FOR (J.O`Neill)
Is your number high on a concrete wall
With an intercom that cries
Is your family lost in scattering
Thirty storeys high
I will be free
I`m meant to be
I will be free
Do you wait for luck in your letterbox
And the joy that it will bring
Do you wait for moments of charity
A letter from a King
I will be free
I`m meant to be
I will be free
In the end that`s something worth fighting for
In the end that`s something worth fighting for
And you pray for sun in a frozen wind
And you make your bed on the street
And you keep your spirit awake
And you mix your blood with the beat
I will be free
I`m meant to be
I will be free
In the end that`s something worth fighting for
In the end that`s something worth fighting for
In the end that`s something worth fighting for
In the end that`s something worth fighting for
And you pray for sun in a frozen wind
And you make your bed on the street
And you keep your spirit awake
And you mix your blood with the beat
I will be free
I`m meant to be
I will be free
In the end that`s something worth fighting for
In the end that`s something worth fighting for
In the end that`s something worth fighting for
In the end that`s something worth fighting for
KILLING FOR GOD (J.O`Neill)
Recite your verse till you`re a good boy
These precious words will bring you nothing but joy
Don`t talk to strangers they`ll trick you with noise
And please don`t kill for me
Stick out your tongue to prove you`re not a liar
Dance till you numb and can`t stand in the fire
Puncture your skin with thorns of barbed wire
But please don`t kill for me
Killing for God
We`ve been falling on swords
We`ve been eating the fruit from your tree
Killing for God
We`ve been drinking your blood
We`ve been torching the ones that disagree
Well that`s what you see
That`s what you see
File down your bullets and sharpen your knives
Torture your prisoners into Paradise
Take all your soldiers to prayers at midnight
But please don`t kill for me
Killing for God
We`ve been falling on swords
We`ve been eating the fruit from your tree
Killing for God
We`ve been drinking your blood
We`ve been torching the ones that disagree
Well that`s what you see
That`s what you see
That`s what you see
Recite your verses till you`re a good liar
These precious words will take you higher and higher
Listen to strangers and those you admire
And please don`t kill for me
Don`t kill for me
Kill for me
Kill for me
Don`t kill for me
27 (J.O`Neill)
He`s just a boy
A death conscious boy
And he knows that he`s a star
But hates attention
Now he finds it very strange
Now he finds it`s all a game
Now he finds this life`s
Not worth a mention
He`s hard enough to fight
Fighting the need
Fighting the system
He`s soft enough to cry
Breaking his heart
For those who listen
She`s just a girl
A death conscious girl
And she knows that she`s a star
But hates attention
Now she finds it very strange
Now she finds it`s all a game
Now she finds this life`s
Not worth a mention
She`s hard enough to fight
Fighting the need
Fighting the system
She`s soft enough to cry
Crying for help
For those who listen
Say it for me
Do it for me
Do it today
Do what you do
Do it for real
Say what you feel
Tell it to me
Sell it to me
Do it for me
What do you do?
What do you need?
What do you say?
What do you care?
What do you feel?
What do you feel?
Feel
They`re hard enough to fight
Fighting the need
Fighting the system
They`re soft enough to break
Breaking their hearts
For those who listen
He`s just a boy
A death conscious boy
I WOKE UP (J.O`Neill)
You can get fooled into
Being a fool
I was a natural
I was the
King of solitude
From my fortress
I would rule
Never believing
Never surrendering
Then I
Woke up
From this
Despair
It`s never easy child
There`s not a switch inside
Then I
Woke up
And you
Were there
Thaught me the things you knew
Thaught me to feel it too
Oohhh
Oohhh
Oohhh
I`ve never told you
What I feel
We learn to be hard inside
To keep it all closed up
And you
Never told me
Are you real?
Or are you the mirror
Of my imagination?
Then I
Woke up
From this
Despair
It`s never easy child
There`s not a switch inside
Then I
Woke up
And you
Were there
Thaught me the things you knew
Thaught me to feel it too
Oohhh
Oohhh
Oohhh
Then I
Woke up
Woke up
Then I
Woke up
Woke up
Woke up
Then I
Woke up
Woke up
Woke up
NUMBER ONE FRIEND (J.O`Neill)
The cats in the Moulin crew
Trawl the Couscous Cafes
Looking for a neck to chew
And hideaway
Well that`s where I found you
Lippy and trashy
C`mon little Betty Blue
What do you say
`Cause I would love to be
Your Guardian Angel
Yes I would love to be
Your number one friend
Uh huh huh
In the windmills of Pigalle
We raised our voices
Moi et toi special
This love disease
We looked for bohemia
And found high prices
C`mon mon petit godesse
Come dance with me
`Cause I would love to be
Your Guardian Angel
Yes I would love to be
Your very close friend
`Cause I would love to be
Your Guardian Angel
Yes I would love to be
Your number one friend
`Cause I
I lost you in the night
Lost that fatal magic
We didn`t even have a fight
You melted away
The cats in the Moulin crew
Trawl the Couscous Cafes
Looking for a neck to chew
On another day
`Cause I would love to be
Your Guardian Angel
Yes I would love to be
Your very close friend
`CauseI would love to be
Your Guardian Angel
Yes I would love to be
Your number one friend
Uh huh huh
Uh huh huh
FLYING (J.O`Neill)
Here we are again
Floating on the rain
Into the dark
Into the dark
Where you are
Turning in the wind
A miracle of tin
Into the sun
Into the sun
Where you are
We`re flying
Flying
Kings of all we see
As high as we can be
Over the land
Over the land
To where you are
Heavier than air
With tickets to get there
Over the sea
Over the sea
To where you are
We`re flying
Flying
Flying
Flying
Flying
Flying ...
HELLO STRANGER (J.O`Neill)
Hello stranger
How`s it going?
Do you feel ok?
Any regrets?
In the morning?
It`s too late anyway
So cut it out
Cut it out
I feel empty
I feel fulfilled
I feel good and bad
Something happened
But did it matter
And will it make us sad
So cut it out
Cut it out
Is it normal
To be so restless
Is it such a crime
To be always looking forward
Instead of behind
William Shakespeare
Had his nose pierced
For his one true love
And William Burroughs
Had a nice lunch
And took a lot of stuff
So cut it out
Cut it out
Is it foolish
To be so restless
Is it such a crime
To be always looking forward
Instead of behind
Hello stranger
In the morning
Here`s your Golden Star
I leave your doorway
I leave you dreaming
I leave you where you are
So cut it out
Cut it out
Shut it out
Cut it out
Cut it out
Shut it out
HENRY`S BLACK SHADOW (J.O`Neill)
Henry`s black shadow dances for you
Yellow stars against a rush of blue
Oh man
He takes you further than he think you can
Cause Henry can
Cause Henry can
Flying in space above the crowd
Shooting off his six guns at the clouds
Oh man
He takes you further than he think you can
Cause Henry can
Can be a psycho saint and wide-o
Burn your magic biro canvassman
Flying in space above the crowd
Flying to a place he`s not allowed
Oh man
He takes you further than he think you can
Cause Henry can
Cause Henry can
Cause Henry can
He`s coming round the bend
He`s coming to an end
You wont believe your eyes
Henry`s black shadow dances for you
Yellow stars against a rush of blue
Oh man
He takes you further than he think you can
Cause Henry can
Cause Henry can
Cause Henry can
Cause Henry can
Cause Henry can
Cause Henry can
WILD MOUNTAIN THYME (The McPeake Family)
Oh the summertime is coming
And the trees are sweetly bloomin`
And the wild mountain thyme
Rolls around the purple heather
Will you go lassie go
And we`ll all go together
To pluck wild mountain thyme
All around the bloomin heather
Will you go lassie go
I will build my love a tower
Near yon clear crystal fountain
Aye and on it I will pile
All the flowers of the mountain
Will you go lassie go
And we`ll all go together
To pluck wild mountain thyme
All around the bloomin heather
Will you go lassie go
If my true love
She was gone
I would surely find another
As the wild mountain thyme
Rolls around the purple heather
Will you go lassie go
And we`ll all go together
To pluck wild mountain thyme
All around the bloomin heather
Will you go lassie go
And we`ll all go together
To pluck wild mountain thyme
All around the bloomin heather
Will you go lassie go
And we`ll all go together
To pluck wild mountain thyme
All around the bloomin heather
Will you go lassie go
And we`ll all go together
To pluck wild mountain thyme
All around the bloomin heather
Will you go lassie go
LISTEN (J.O`Neill)
Are you listening?
Jennifer is crying
Crying in Di Maggios
Accusing him of lying
Lying in his teeth
You`re treating me like shit
And you`re
Rubbing my nose in it
You`re treating me like I was
A thousand miles away
David uses reason
Reason and psychology
Embarrassed by her treason
Her emotional display
You`re treating me to it
And you`re
Wrapping yourself around it
You`re treating me like I was
The sole cause of your pain
And all I can do
Is listen
All I can say
Is listen
All that I do
Is listen
Listen
Sadie screams into the mask
A scream of pain a scream of rage
A scream of forty thousand blows
The scream that every mother knows
At last the scream is gone
And prayers are broken on her tongue
The sound of crying brings her peace
And Ecstasy
And all I can do
Is listen
All I can say
Is listen
All I can do
Is listen
Listen
I`ll just sit here
With my glass
To the wall
Capturing the sound
Your insect voice
Write it down
Write it down
Write it down
And all I can do
Is listen
All I can say
Is listen
All that I do
Is listen
Listen
And all I can do
Is listen
All I can say
Is listen
And all I can do
Is listen
ABOUT THE SEA (J.O`Neill)
You know we`re always
On the edge of it
Melting castles
As the sea comes in
So be a rover
Enjoy the dance of it
And be a dancer
In your day
Sing to me
When the rain is falling
And the blues is getting in
Sail to me
While the world is quarelling
And the water from my eyes
Bleeds salt into the sea
In amazement
At the strenght of it
I can hardly
Turn away
And when I travel
Along the edge of it
I hear your voice
And you say
Sing to me
When the rain is falling
And the blues is getting in
Sail to me
While the world is quarelling
And the water from my eyes
Bleeds salt into the sea
I`m in your arms
I`m in your hands
I`m in your wave
I`m on a roll
Let me escape
I`ll give you
Anything you want
I see your eyes
I see you rise
I see you fall
I see you fall
You know we`re always
On the edge of it
Oil and water
Love and oxygen
So be a lover
Be a lover `till
The big blue breaker
Breaks over you
Sing to me
When the rain is falling
And the blues is getting in
Sail to me
While the world is quarelling
And the water from my eyes
Bleeds salt into the sea
Salt into the sea
Salt into the sea
Salt into the sea
Salt into the sea
Salt into the sea
I BELIEVE IN YOU (J.O`Neill)
I believe in
Salvador Dali
And Beatrice Dalle
I believe in
Alex the kid and
Sam Gopal
A world of bicycle chains
Lost antennae
And
Islands of din
On the edge of a pin
I believe in humans and aliens
Ken and Barbie dolls
I believe in Jesus and Buddha
And Niagara Falls
Waves of love
Painted queens
Lost illusions
And primrose
And cobalt
And words that ring true
I believe in you
I believe in you
I believe in you
I believe in you
Waves of love
Painted queens
lost illusions
And diamonds
And ether
And words that ring true
I believe in you
I believe in you
I believe in you
I believe in you
Yes you know it`s true
Well I believe in you
I believe
I believe
I believe
In you
Yeah
I believe
I believe
I believe
In you
