Profit In Peace All the people under broken homes Don't wanna fight no more All the people nursing shattered bones Don't wanna fight no more But there's no profit in peace So we've gotta fight some more
And all those who are in foreign lands Don't wanna fight no more And all those who lost their feet or hands Don't wanna fight no more But there's no profit in peace boys We've gotta fight some more
Hey, we don't wanna fight no more Hey, hey, hey, we don't wanna fight no more But there's no profit in peace boys We gotta fight some more
And all those just trying to play their part Don't wanna fight no more And all those who own a human heart Don't wanna fight no more But there's no profit in what you want So we must fight some more
And all those who got an axe to grind Don't wanna fight no more And all those who got their burning lights Don't wanna fight no more But there's no profit in ever being right So we must fight some more
And all the people under broken homes Don't wanna fight no more And all the people never going home Don't wanna fight no more There is profit in the land you own So we must fight some more
And all those who got a tired face Don't wanna fight no more And all those who lost without a trace Don't wanna fight no more But there is profit in the love of hate So we must fight some more
So Low If anyone rises at 6.31 And fakes all day that They're having their fun They never did get it right Since they got it so low
To anyone drinking the morning away The afternoon will prove a mistake They never will get it right Now they've got it so low
And we laugh and we drink And we teach ourselves not to think (And we find it hard not to think) We never did get it right Since we got it so low
To all the faces that Freeze for you there In your memory when you try not to care They never disappear down the slow road
For all of those people Who bleed by the side And split from their tongues And sharpen their knives They never will get a life now They've got it so low
Cornfields and pigtails and Fish in the stream The night that the boys stole A billion dollar dream From the high jinx school For girls down the road
Stories are smoke trails And some may be true You're listening to me But I'm talking to you I hope you never fall from grace If you get it so low
I Am The News I am the news and I'll say no more I am the stranger at your door I am the the deep beneath the sea The threat of flood tide rising I am the banks bearing refugees Always a cause not solution A constant fear or a fleeting joy Your only friend who needs using
I am the news and I'm in your face And I'll take my profit from your faith I am the the face beneath the face The catalyst of explosions I am the crop bearing crippled genes I am an inside connection A constant friend on a changing screen Your history and direction
Radio, radio I'll turn you on again You're the truth You're a soothe Be the blues Be my best friend Don't give us the truth I need the news again
I am the news and I'm every spin I am what is and what's not in I am the trump card, I'm the ace I am the news and I'm in your face I am the ocean's biggest roar I am the smallest twist of fate I am the ending of a play I am the opening curtain
No One At All You're a southern man You're a northern soul You're a west-ender You got eastern soul But you're no-one at all
You're a rich man You're a poor man You're a this man Then you're that man But you're no-one at all
You're a liar You're a winner And expert and a beginner But you're no-one at all
When the wind blows That's when you know That your nose grows And your face shows That you're no-one at all
You're a hard rock With your own space You're a disgrace But you've got your grace But you're no-one at all
You're a hard space But you get things done If the day is lost Then the night is won But you're no-one at all
You're a loner and You're an only one You're a red man Then you're a blue man But you're no-one at all
Families Mother and Stan don't blame yourself for Rose She was out there playing in the road Better to let her know not to forget All that schooling goes right through their heads
They take back all And/When you give them loving Fall you to your knees Then give back nothing But looking through love You know there's something... so real
Father and Son you're in this one so deep I could always lull myself to sleep But I will cry to let you always know All my life I need your time to grow
Step By Step We're gonna take it step by step Little by little, that's all And a though it may be a long time If you and I'm strong, that's all
Winter froze us like a blue Monday So you and I we battened our defences overnight Come the spring and I'll be on the road then I just hope that you'll have got a hold on feeling all right
You and I should sail out on the water And you and I should do just what we ought to Some time soon Come the autumn we'll be getting home by The light is thin that I'll be holding you by Not too soon
Winter chills us like a bloody Sunday But you and I have loosened our defences overnight Come the spring and I'll be don't know where then But I know that you'll have had a load of feeling all right
July It's warm outside But I can hear the snow Falling on my window I had to go away To somewhere deeper down I know it's my mistake To take off out of this town And June becomes July
This road's on fire And my train's running slow It rains against my window I had to get away To somewhere no-one knows I know it's my mistake To take off now in this way And June becomes July
The air is thin When you're above the clouds I see them from my window It's strange to get away now To somewhere no-one goes I know it's my mistake But I don't even know now And June becomes July And June becomes July
Jane She Got Excavated Jane she got excavated By a trader dealing in old lines Then she got a paper From a mailer telling her more lies
So here we go Down an endless road where we know Nothing good here will ever grow We're wasting our own time And better know Everyday life will carry on Everyday when you're not so strong You're wasting your own time
Says she knows more than she lets on That's how she gets on when she is outside When the wind comes on harder She needs a shelter of their warm lies
She was taken last Sunday To a safe place dealing in this line Then she got her papers From a faceless who won't tell her one more time
Emily Chambers Emily Chambers would make it pay Everyone knew she'd turn out that way She turned her back and she'll be okay But she's not okay at all
Every night with the radio on Emily fears that the day won't come The moon is there to do her harm She's not all right at all
Don't get arrested Don't buy a machine gun You're on the run And you're not on the scene You're not so cool And you're not a jerk You may be a villain But no Patty Hearst You're Emily Chambers And what's worse Is a whipping wind And a box in a hearse And a trigger in your head And a pen in your hand And the pain in the verse And the flat drying land And the thin of the air And a pain that hurts You're Emily Chambers in the universe
Every night with the lamplight on Emily fears that the day has gone The moon is there to do her harm She's not all right at all
Emily Chambers would make it pay Everyone knew she'd turn out that way...
Soul Driver Straighten your collar and smile 'Cause you've never been lazy 'Cause you in a style Call the shots every day
Soul Driver Don't hurry It's my timing It's not your worry And I'm taking my time And laying my roots Since I've been so far away
You're such a practical man You work so hard for your living You make me understand That it's all in the giving
The Waves You are the one you makes a difference But I am the one who makes the waves All down the line this makes us different So all our dreams may stay awake
You know sometimes things get so strange And all we do may go astray Wrapped in your youth these things won't harm you And they don't hit you like a train
Say... won't you see her I heard she's waiting at your door Oh I hope you won't keep near her I know she's bound to want it all
She's uncommon, she has one face And her heart beats to your tune When she speaks, she speaks of only your name Then she repeats it like a fool
Hey... you can't say you don't want her You know you let her through your wall Oh I hope you don't keep near her I know she's bound to want it all
I Won't Get Grazed I'm going away to see my own And tread my earth I've got no ordinary gain By to set my worth I get enough and I get too late And if I fall down on the road Then I won't get grazed
I cannot let you take my time Or till my earth You've had enough of life to see That it shakes my nerve All of these things I can't get straight And if I'm falling to the road Then I won't get grazed
I've had two of them or three And I just get hurt I watch me crawling down the road Trying to guess my worth I know not what I'm trying to say But if I'm falling on this road Then I won't get grazed
I watch you running down the road So I get mine worked out But you watch me falling on the run And you have me called out All of these things they get so strange Just kill me falling on the road But I won't get grazed
