Angel Of Mercy

Well there's a Peter Pan moon shepherd's delight
I got to dragon at noon, yes and I won the fight
Now I want my reward in heaven tonight, just like you promised
Angel of Mercy, you'll come to no harm
Angel of Mercy, there's no need for alarm
The knight in his armor wants a night in your arms
You know he's honest

Angel of Mercy, angel delight, give me my reward in heaven tonight
And if I give up my sword, won't you give me the right
Sweet angel

Well now it's too late for talking we can talk later on
Let the saxophone play us till the chorus of dawn
And all I need is a little oblivion, you don't need protection
Well now here come the moonlight down on your bed
Angel of mercy let your heart rule your head
I don't want your money, I want you instead
Don't need rejection yeah

Angel of Mercy, angel delight, give me my reward in heaven tonight
And if I give up my sword, won't you give me the right
Angel of Mercy give me heaven tonight
Well if you cross your heart
And spit and swear upon the grave of your mother
You got to get into it, you gotta tell me that I'm more than a lover

Yeah Angel of Mercy angel delight
Give me my reward in heaven tonight
And if I give up my sword, won't you give me the right
Angel of Mercy give me heaven tonight

Yeah Angel of Mercy, angel delight
Give me my reward in heaven tonight
And if I give up my sword, won't you give me the right
Angel of Mercy give me heaven tonight

Yeah Angel of Mercy angel delight
Give me my reward in heaven tonight
And if I give up my sword, won't you give me the right
Angel of Mercy give me heaven tonight.

Badges, Posters, Stickers, T-Shirts

Me and my mate we think you're great
Some we like and some we hate
I know him I've seen him on the adverts
Got any badges posters stickers or t-shirts
You were bloody great last time you come
I thought me 'ead was stuck in the bass drum
Bloody loud, me bloody head hurts
Got any badges posters stickers and t-shirts

So how'd you get a start in show biz
My mate's as good on the drums as he is
My mate thinks I'm bloody cracked
Please sign my jacket on the back

All them badges made of plastic
I think they're great, just fantastic
I'm unemployed, he's still at school
He gets annoyed 'cause I'm such a fool

You don't half sweat a lot up there
Have you got showers in here?
You're bloody great, my bloody head hurts
Got any badges posters stickers and t-shirts

Yeah, me and my mate like AC-DC
Hot & sweaty, loud & greasy
My mom says we're a pair of perverts
Got any badges posters stickers and t-shirts

C'mon mister
We hitch-hiked here in pouring rain
Now we've missed the frigging train.
Hey! can I have one of them lagers?
Thanks very much, mate. Can 'e have one?
a-one, a-two, a-one two three four...

Brothers In Arms

These mist covered mountains
are a home now for me
but my home is the lowlands
and always will be
someday you'll return to
your valleys and your farms
and you'll no longer burn to be
brothers in arms
Through these fields of destruction
baptisms of fire
i've witnessed your suffering
as the battle raged higher
and though they did hurt me so bad
in the fear and alarm
you did not desert me
my brothers in arms
There's so many different worlds
so many different suns
and we have just one world
but we live in different ones
Now the sun's gone to hell and
the moon's riding high
let me bid you farewell
every man has to die
but it's written in the starlight
and every line in your palm
we are fools to make war
on our brothers in arms

Calling elvis - is anybody home
calling elvis - i'm here all alone

Well tell him i was calling just to wish him well

Communiquè

We wanna get a statement
for Jesus' sake
It's like a talking to a wall
He's incummunicado
No comment to make
He's saying nothing at all
Yeah but in the communique
You know he's gonna come clean
Think what he say
Say what he means
Maybe on a Monday he got something to say
Communication
Communique
Communique

Maybe he could talk about the tricks of the trade
Maybe he could talk about himself
Maybe he could talk about the money he made
Maybe he be saying something else
But in the communique
you know he's gonna come clean
Think what he say
Say what he means
Maybe on a Monday he got something to say
Communication
Communique
Communique

Well now the rumours are flying
Speculation rife
They say that he's been trying someone else's wife
Somebody at the airport
Somebody on the phone
Say he's at the station and he's coming home alone
Then we get the story
The serious piece
And a photography a taken in the hall
And you don't have to worry with the previous release
Right now he's saying nothing at all
But in the communique
you know he's gonna come clean
Think what he say
Say what he mean
Maybe on a Monday he'll have something to say
Communication
Communique

Down To The Waterline

Sweet surrender on the quayside
you remember we used to run and hide
in the shadow of the cargoes i take you one time
and we're counting all the numbers down to the waterline
Near misses on the dogleap stairways
french kisses in the darkened doorways
a foghorn blowing out wild and cold
a policeman shines a light upon my shoulder
Up comes a coaster fast and silent in the nihgt
over my shoulder all you can see are the pilot lights
no money in our jackets and our jeans are torn
your hands are cold but your lips are warm
She can see him on the jetty where they used to go
she can feel him in the places where the sailors go
when she's walking by the river and the railway line
she can still hear him whisper
let's go down to the waterline

Eastbound Train

It was New Cross Station, I was going on home
Saw you get your ticket, standing on your own.
Here come the train about 02:44
I couldn't get a smoker, you took another car.

Yeah, the end of the line, we both had to change,
And you're standing right behind me,
I'm a feeling kinda strange.
We got to Mile End Road, my heart skipped a beat,
Standing right behind me, I'm a shakin' in my seat.
3-4 minutes and the train comes through,
I'm ridin' on the Central, I'm a-lookin' at you.

Woman on the eastbound train,
Sometimes I wanna see you again.

Now I couldn't read a paper, you couldn't read a book,
Kept on taking me another look,
You got off the train, you never looked behind
I tried, but I can't get you out of my mind.

Woman on the eastbound train,
Sometimes I wanna see you again.

Well I got one more thing I wanna say before I go
If you get the message on the radio
You can write a letter, get in touch with me,
Leave your number with the company, yeah.

Woman on the eastbound train,
Sometimes I wanna see you again.

Fade To Black

I wonder where your are tonite
you're probably out on the rampage somewhere
you have been known to take delight
in gettin in somebodys hair
and you always had the knack
fade to black
I bet you already made a pass
i see a darkend room somewhere
you run your fingers around the rim of his glasses
you run your fingers through his hair
they scratch across his back
Well maybe its all 4 the best
but i wish id never been lassooed
maybe it some knid of test
but i wish id never been tatooed
or been to hell and back
fade to black

Follow Me Home

Oh well the sun go down
Celebration in the town tonight
All day long
They been slaughtering upon the stone
Share out the meat
Yeah, you really like to eat
Come on woman, come follow me home

Well, the priest he cries
Virgins ascending to the skies tonight
All day long
I have passed my time alone
And when the church bell rung
I stayed out on the tower
In a dying sun
Now come on woman, come follow me home

Well I don't need no priest
But I love all of the people
Yes I share the feast
So drink up my wine
Yes and the song in my bones
I know the way
I can see by the moonlight
Clear as the day
Now come on woman, come follow me home.

Hand In Hand

The sky is crying the streets are full of tears
rain come down wash away my fears
and all this writing on the wall
oh i can read between the lines
rain come down forgive this dirty town
rain come down and give this dirty town
a drink of water a drink of wine
If i've been hard on you i never chose to be
i never wanted no one else
i tried my best to be somebody you'd be close to
hand in hand like lovers are supposed to
As you'd sleep i'd think my heart would break in two
i'd kiss your cheek i'd stop myself from waking you
but in the dark you'd speek my name
you'd say baby what's wrong
oh, here i am baby i'm coming back for more
i'm like a wave that's going to roll into the shore
yes and if my love's in vain how come my love is so strong?
Now you and me go parallel together and apart
and you keep your perfect distance and it's tearing at my heart
did you never feel the distance?
you never tried to cross no line
now it's another dirty river and another dirty scar
and i don't know who's kissing you and i don't know where you are
so far from home don't you think of me sometimes
