Golden heart

It's time to come away, my darling pretty

It's time to come away on the changing tide

Time to come away, darling pretty

And I need you darling by my side



Heal me with a smile, darling pretty

Heal me with a smile and a heart of gold

Carry me awhile, my darling pretty

Heal my aching heart and soul



Just like a castaway

Lost upon an endless sea

I saw you far away

Come to rescue me



Cast away the chains, darling pretty

Cast away the chains away behind

Take away my pain, my darling pretty

And the chains that once were yours and mine



There will come a day, darling pretty

There will come a day when hearts can fly

Love will find a way, my darling pretty

Find a heaven for you and I

Love will find a way, my darling pretty

Find a heaven for you and I

She's going shopping shopping for shoes

She wants them in magenta and caribbean blue

Platinum and buttercup lilac and black

They fill a bucket up and laugh behind her back

Imelda baby Imelda baby what to do

All the poor people saying that they gotta quit paying for you



In New York and Paris on the Champs Elysee

They see her coming from a long long way

They clap their hands together when they get her in the store

She's gonna wanna get more more more and more and more

Imelda baby Imelda baby what to do

All the poor people saying that they gotta quit paying for you



Everyone's gone Jackie O

She was a regular here

We thought madame would like to know

We've got the blood red rouge right here



Now we've got all of madame's requisites and all in madame's size

Madame's taste is truly exquisite she must accessorise

The belts are alligator the bags are kangaroo

Enchante may I say the jade was made for you

Imelda baby Imelda baby what to do

All the poor people saying that they gotta quit paying for you

Imelda baby Imelda baby what to do

All the poor people saying that they gotta quit paying for you

She was swinging by the bangles in a main street store

A while before we met

The most dangerous angles that you ever saw

She spied her amulet

And she took a loop of leather for around her neck

And that was then the start

The most dangerous lady on her quarter deck

She found her golden heart

You found your golden heart



Then we swirled around each other and the thread was spun

To some arcadian band

I would stop it from swinging like a pendulum

Just to hold time in my hand

And you shot me with a cannonball of history

And long forgotten art

I'd be turning it over as our words ran free

I'd hold your golden heart

I'd hold your golden heart



Nothing in the world prepared me for, your heart, your heart

Nothing in the world that I love more your heart, your heart

Your golden heart



And every time I'm thinking of you from a distant shore

And all the time I sleep

I will have a reminder that my baby wore

A part of you to keep

And I'll send you all my promises across the sea

And while we are apart

I will carry the wonder that you gave to me

I'll wear your golden heart

I'll wear your golden heart



Nothing in the world prepared me for, your heart, your heart

Nothing in the world that I love more your heart, your heart

Your golden heart

Skint in a material world

I did a warehouse stint for southsea girl

It was Hong Kong clothes for cash

Everybody got treated worse than trash

Punch the card in the company clock

Load the trolleys and the company trucks

And around and around the whole day through

And you couldn't sit down when there was nothing to do



Well they had beaten up people from every land

Fools like me trying to be in bands

A little french girl so good to me

But I couldn't love her back so lonely

A backpacker travelling through

A lumberjack with the travelling blues

We had worn out shoes and worn out cuffs

And big ideas that were never big enough



He said the man wants you go wash his car

Hey you I'm talking to you

I said me, not me uh uh

No can do



No can can do no can

No can can do no can



Now some were grown up unlike me

And were dealing with reality

I was spittin' sulkin' smokin' shirkin'

While a lady from Jamaica was singing and working

I had everyone but me to blame

And every day was just the same

Well nobody ever said it was a righteous world

But if they did they never said it at southsea girl



He said the man wants you go wash his car

Hey you I'm talking to you

I said me, not me uh uh

No can do



No can can do no can

No can can do no can



Well I've made my bed on people's floors

Opened up and closed some doors

Dreamed that if my dreams came true

Then I wouldn't do what I didn't want to

Walking through the gates to the outside

To dream some dreams that never died

And I walked the streets of London town

Looking for a place to put my head down

A dirty motor with London plates

Sitting in the gutter outside your silent gates

Vic and Ray, vic and Ray

Vic and Ray, Vic and Ray



Come to daddy baby, what is it worth

Come to daddy, the scum of the crying earth

Vic and Ray, Vic and Ray

Vic and Ray, Vic and Ray



Laughing at each other's pain

They run the heater in the morning rain

This'll pay the rent around the world

Wanna buy a picture of a girl



Christmas morning, there they are

Two rent boys wishing on a shining star

Vic and Ray, Vic and Ray

Vic and Ray, Vic and Ray

Don't you get it I don't want to buy your car

Don't you get it I don't want to buy it

Don't you get it I don't want to buy your car

Don't you get it I don't want to buy your car



Cause I gotta be a free man to run

I gotta be a free man to ride

I gotta be a free man to run

Cause I gotta be a free man to ride

I gotta be a free man to run

I gotta be a free man to ride

I gotta be a free man to run

Cause I gotta be a free man to ride



Now don't you get it I don't want to dream your dream

Don't you get it I don't want to dream it

Don't you get it I don't want to dream your dream

Don't you get it I don't want to dream your dream



Cause I gotta be a free man to run

I gotta be a free man to ride

I gotta be a free man to run

Cause I gotta be a free man to ride

I gotta be a free man to run

I gotta be a free man to ride

I gotta be a free man to run

Cause I gotta be a free man to ride



Don't you get it I don't want to buy your car

Don't you get it I don't want to buy it

Don't you get it I don't want to buy your car

Don't you get it I don't want to buy your car



Cause I gotta be a free man to run

I gotta be a free man to ride

I gotta be a free man to run

Cause I gotta be a free man to ride

I gotta be a free man to run

I gotta be a free man to ride

I gotta be a free man to run

Cause I gotta be a free man to ride

My lady may I have this dance

Forgive a knight who knows no shame

My lady may I have this dance

And lady may I know your name

You danced upon a soldier's arm

And I felt the blade of love so keen

And when you smiled you did me harm

And I was drawn to you, my queen



Now these boots may take me where they will

Though they may never shine like his

There is no knight I would not kill

To have my lady's hand to kiss

Yes and they did take me through the hall

To leave me not one breath from you

And they fell silent one and all

And you could see my heart was true



Then I did lead you from the hall

And we did ride upon the hill

Away beyond the city wall

And sure you are my lady still

A night in summer long ago

The stars were falling from the sky

And still, my heart, I have to know

Why do you love me, lady, why?

Well he's daddy's little boy he plays with his toys

He holds on to his daddy's hand

His daddy says Sonny you're a big strong boy

You're gonna be a big strong man

And they go play catch they go play ball

They go take a walk along the sand

Big strong daddy and a big strong boy

Living in a big strong land



Daddy is he a goodie or a baddie

Daddy can I have a dinosaur

Once upon a time there were cannibals

Now there are no cannibals any more



Down in Louisiana there's a hurricane coming

The little boy climbs the stairs

And all along the levee all the people come running

And the little boy's saying his prayers

And a sleepy little laddie smiles up at his daddy

And he's asking for his G.I. Joe

And daddy tucks him in with a kiss upon the chin

And says my little one I love you so



Daddy is he a goodie or a baddie

Leave a light outside the door

Once upon a time there were cannibals

Now there are no cannibals any more



Lay down your head now don't get out of bed

Don't you let the bedbugs bite

It's time to go to sleep now not another peep

And I'll see you in the morning light

And then the radio was playing and the weatherman was saying

The hurricane had blown away

And daddy's little boy was jumping up for joy

And he was singing at the break of day



Daddy is he a goodie or a baddie

Daddy can I be a warrior

Once upon a time there were cannibals

Now there are no cannibals any more



Yeah daddy is he a goodie or a baddie

Daddy why do people go to war

Once upon a time there were cannibals

Now there are no cannibals any more

I never thought I'd be the one

To be the raging bull

There'd always be a smoking gun

Who'd up and lose his cool

I never thought I'd have to say

I'm sorry, my love, because

I'm the fool I never

Fool I never thought I was



I left my dreams with broken strings

It's time I learnt to talk

Stop falling over things

Teach myself to walk

I'm not a superman

Or Mr. wonderful, because

I'm the fool I never

Fool I never thought I was



I'm the know it all

Trying to mend his broken heart

But I don't know who to call

And I don't know where to start



Now if you should lose your faith in me

I don't know where I'd run

I hope you'll always let me be

Your only one

Am I your one true love

Or am I too late for your applause

I'm the fool I never

Fool I never thought I was

Darling, I'm the fool I never

Fool I never thought I was

We are leaving, leaving

Leaving on the tide

Come and stand beside me love

The water is so wide

You can hear the sailors calling

At the dawning of the day

Yesterday is falling, love

And je suis desole, je suis desole



Je suis desole, mais je n'ai pas le choix

Je suis desole, mais la vie me demande ca



I am turning, turning

From a land that I loved well

Look ahead my darling one

Across the rolling swell

And you can hear the seagulls crying

As we're slipping out of the bay

Yesterday is dying, love

And je suis desole, je suis desole



Je suis desole, mais je n'ai pas le choix

Je suis desole, mais la vie me demande ca



We are sailing, sailing

For a land that's proud and free

I had no more endurance

For what had become of me

And I will do that which I must do, love

And now we're under way

All that I can say to you

Is je suis desole



Je suis desole, mais je n'ai pas le choix

Je suis desole, mais la vie me demande ca

Je suis desole, mais je n'ai pas le choix

Je suis desole, mais la vie me demande ca

Rudiger stands in the rain and the snow

Collector of autographs

Names upon photographs

Faces of people who everyone knows



Rudiger lives in a place on his own

Briefcase and spectacles

Strange and respectable

He knows the meaning of being alone



Rudiger works as a clerk in the town

Music or politics

Rudiger gets his kicks

He gets information then he comes around



Rudiger waits at the hall in Berlin

He waits there all night

Security's tight

They know who he is but they don't let him in



Rudiger waits in the dark by the stair

His fingers are shaking

His feet they are aching

But your name's in the paper so Rudiger's there

Nobody's got the gun

Nobody's trying to get the drop on anyone

Nobody's standing out on main street

With the sun blazing down

Saying "There's only room for one of us

In this here town"

Nobody's got to be the number one

Nobody's got the gun



She may not understand

And she may want you eating from her hand

If she's got you in a corner

And you can smell the smoke and flame

You reach for your revolver

To do the same

You'll blow your love away forever, number one

Nobody's got the gun



You may think love is hard enough

You may never get to rehearse

And you can do without this stuff

Making everything worse



She's just the same as you

She needs your love just like you want her to

You can't go playing poker

With a pistol in your sleeve

You can't make somebody love you

By threatening to leave

If you want a love forever, number one

Nobody's got the gun

We've paid in hell since Moscow burned

As cossacks tear us piece by piece

Our dead are strewn a hundred leagues

Though death would be a sweet release

And our grande armee is dressed in rags

A frozen starving beggar band

Like rats we steal each other's scraps

Fall to fighting hand to hand



Save my soul from evil, Lord

And heal this soldier's heart

I'll trust in thee to keep me, Lord

I'm done with Bonaparte



What dreams he made for us to dream

Spanish skies, Egyptian sands

The world was ours, we marched upon

Our little Corporal's command

And I lost an eye at Austerlitz

The sabre slash yet gives me pain

My one true love awaits me still

The flower of the Aquitaine



Save my soul from evil, Lord

And heal this soldier's heart

I'll trust in thee to keep me, Lord

I'm done with Bonaparte



I pray for her who prays for me

A safe return to my belle France

We prayed these wars would end all wars

In war we know is no romance

And I pray our child will never see

A little Corporal again

Point toward a foreign shore

Captivate the hearts of men



Save my soul from evil, Lord

And heal this soldier's heart

I'll trust in thee to keep me, Lord

I'm done with Bonaparte

It wasn't just the music

It wasn't just the wine

Some other kind of magic

Was sending shivers up my spine

Then I was falling

And I fell for you, and how

Darling, are we in trouble now



They say we're grown up

But we've been searching all this time

I wouldn't own up

Never would admit to flying blind

But in the Darkness

We found each other anyhow

Darling, are we in trouble now



When we'd talk it over

Love was a cry from a distant shore

Then we found each other

And all that we'd been searching for



And I'm done denying

I guess by now you know

I'm through with trying

Can't bring myself to let you go

And of all these feelings

We said we never would allow

Darling, are we in trouble now

Darling, are we in trouble now
