Simple Minds - New Gold Dream (81-82-83-84)

New Gold Dream
She is the one in front of me, the siren and the ecstasy
New Gold Dream
Crashing beats and fantasy, setting sun in front of me
New Gold Dream
And the world goes hot
And the cities take
And the beat goes crashing
All along the way

She is your friend until the ocean breaks
And when you dream, dream in the dream with me
And when you dream, dream in the dream with me
81 - 82 - 83 - 84
81 - 82 - 83 - 84

New Gold Dream
Sun is set in front of me, worldwide on the widest screen
New Gold Dream
Burning bridge and ecstasy, crashing beats and fantasy
Dream in the dream with
And the world goes hot
And the cities take
And the beat goes crashing
All along the way

She is your only friend until the ocean breaks

And when you dream, dream in the dream with me
And when we dream, dream in the dream with me
81 - 82 - 83 - 84
81 - 82 - 83 - 84

New Gold Dream
The siren and the ecstasy, she’s the one in front of me
New Gold Dream

Tears for Fears - Pale Shelter

How can I be sure?
When your intrusion is my illusion
How can I be sure
When all the time you changed my mind
I asked for more and more
Wow can I be sure

When you don’t give me love
You give me pale shelter
You don’t give me love
You give me cold hands
And i can’t operate on this failure
When all I want to be is
Completely in command

How can I be sure
For all you say you keep me waiting
How can I be sure
When all you do is see me through
I asked for more and more
How can I be sure

When you don’t give me love
You give me pale shelter
You don’t give me love
You give me cold hands
And I can’t operate on this failure
When all I want to be is
Completely in command

Ive been here before
There is no why, no need to try
T thought you had it all
I’m calling you, i’m calling you
I ask for more and more
How can I be sure

When you don’t give me love
You give me pale shelter
You don’t give me love
You give me cold hands
And I can’t operate on this failure
When all I want to be is
Completely in command

You don’t give me love
You don’t give me love

Marc Almond - Tears Run Rings

On heavenly rain
You fell into my life
Unforgettable smile
Unforgettable lies
In the name of the cross
Or a banner of love
With the hand of a friend
Or under a blanket of trust

The angels sighed
A little girl cried
The tears run rings around my eyes

We’re going to set fire
To the house in my heart
We’re going to set fire
To the whole damn world
I don’t understand
The wicked things we do
In the name of the good
In the name of the few

The angels sighed
The little girl cried
The tears run rings around my eyes

Don’t look at me
With your innocent smile
When the bed is burning
Around my head
When a war breaks out
It’ll be no surprise
Your unforgettable smile
Your unforgettable lies

And i’ve got to stop running
To make my start
We’ve got to get together
Before we fall apart

They’re pulling down the old slums
To build the new
They’re bringing back the old rules
To please the few
In the name of the cross
Or a banner of love
With the hand of a friend
Or under a blanket of trust

The angels sighed
A little girl cried
The tears run rings around my eyes

Pull down the old slums
To build the new
Pull down the love
I built with you
Promise of tomorrow
You never kept
And you try to burn the house down
When i slept
The nation’s in disorder
There’s chaos in my heart
We’ve got to get together
Before we fall apart

Tears for Fears - Year of the Knife

Hallelujah, the king is dead
He said “love was the knife”
And now he’ll dream
Some magic queen might try and save his life
They say his famous final words
Came from the heart of the man
He made his bed on love denied
He played jeckyll and hyde till the day he died

Too late for the young gun
To lead a simple life
Too late for the young gun

This is the year of the knife
This is the year of the knife
This is the year of the knife
This is the year of the knife

See the mountains crumble
Feel the fire go cold
Summer will turn to winter
Love will turn to stone

They say his famous final words
Came from the heart of man
I made my bed on love denied
Now I ain’t gonna sleep tonight

Too late for the young gun
To lead a simple life
Too late for the young gun

The sun and the moon
The sun and the moon
The wind and the rain

Til Tuesday - Coming Up Close

One night in Iowa, he and I in a borrowed car
Went driving in the summer, promises at every star
Uut in the distance I could hear some people laughing
I felt my heart beat back a weekends’ worth of sadness

There was a farm house that had long since been deserted
We stopped and carved our thoughts into the wooden surface
We thought just for an instant we could see the future
We thought for once we knew what really was important

[Chorus]
Coming up close
Wverything sounds like welcome home
Come home
And oh, by the way
Don’t you know that I could make
A dream that’s barely half the way come true
I wanted to say --
But anything I could have said
I felt somehow that you already knew

We got back in the car and listened to a Dylan tape
We drove around the fields until it started getting late
I went back to my hotel room on the highway
And he just got back in his car and drove away

[Chorus x2]
