Gloria

(This is Gloria)

(Two three four!)

When I try to sing this song
I...I try to stand up
But I can't find my feet
I try, I try to speak up
But only in you I'm complete

Gloria...in te domine
Gloria...exultate
Gloria...Gloria
Oh Lord, loosen my lips
(Loosen 'em!)

When I try to sing this song
I...I try to get in
But I can't find the door
The door is open
You're standing there
You let me in

Gloria...in te domine
Gloria...exultate
Oh Lord, if I had anything
Anything at all
I'd give it to you
I'd give it to you
You you
Give it to you

(Hey, this is Red Rocks)
(Adam Clayton)
(This is The Edge)

Gloria...in te domine
Gloria...Gloria...
Gloria...in te domine
Gloria...Gloria...
Gloria...in te domine
Gloria...Gloria...
Gloria...in te domine
Gloria...Gloria...


11 O'Clock Tick Tock

It's cold outside
It gets so hot in here
And the boys and girls collide
To the music in my ear

Hear the children crying
And I know it's time to go
I hear the children crying 
Take me home

A painted face
And I know we haven't long
We thought that we had the answers
It was the questions we had wrong

Hear the children crying
And I know it's time to go
I hear the children crying
Take me home

Sad song, sad song
Sad song, sad song

La lah la lah...La lah la lah...La lah lah...
La lah la lah...La lah la lah...La lah lah...
La lah la lah...La lah la lah...La lah lah...
La lah la lah...La lah la lah...La lah lah...

Sad song, sad song
Sad song, sad song

Call out your name
Call out in shame
Call out your name
Call out
You better call out
Call, call, call out


I Will Follow

(Ladies and gentlemen, let me tell you...I will follow!)

I was on the outside when you say
You say you needed me
I was looking at myself
I was blind, could not see

A boy tries hard to be a man
His mother takes him by his hand
He stops to think he starts to cry
Oh why

If you walkaway, walkaway
I walkaway, walkaway...I will follow

If you walkaway, walkaway
I walkaway, walkaway...I will...follow

I was on the inside
When they pulled the four walls down
I was looking through the window
I was lost, I am found

Walkaway, walkaway
Walkaway, walkaway...I will follow
If you walkaway, walkaway,
I walkaway, walkaway...I will...follow

Your eyes make a circle
I see you when I go in there
But it's your eyes
But it's your eyes
But it's your eyes
Your eyes

If you walkaway, walkaway
I walkaway, walkaway..I will follow

If you walkaway, walkaway
I walkaway, walkaway...I will follow

I will follow
I will...follow
I will follow
I will...I will
I will...I will


Party Girl

I know a girl, a girl called Party
Party Girl
I know she wants more than a party
Party Girl
And she won't tell me her name
Oh no, not me

I know a boy, a boy called Trash
Trash Can
I know he does all that he can
Wham Bam
And she won't tell me his name
Oh no, not me

When I was three, I thought the world revolved around me
I was wrong
And so I sing along
And if you dance, then dance with me

I know a girl, a girl called Party
Party Girl
I know she wants more than a party
Party Girl
I know a boy, a boy called Trampoline
You know what I mean

I think I know what he wants
I think I know what he wants
I think I know what you want
I think I know what you want
I think I know what you want
I think I know what you want
I think I know what he wants


Sunday Bloody Sunday

I can't believe the news today,
I can't close my eyes and make it go away.
How long, how long must we sing this song?
How long? Tonight we can be as one.
Broken bottles under children's feet,
Bodies strewn across a dead end street,
But I won't heed the battle call,
It puts my back up, puts my back up against the wall.

Sunday, bloody Sunday.
Sunday, bloody Sunday.

And the battle's just begun,
There's many lost, but tell me who has won?
The trenches dug within our hearts,
And mother's children, brothers, sisters torn apart.

Sunday, bloody Sunday.
Sunday, bloody Sunday.

Wipe the tears from your eyes, 
Wipe your tears away,
Wipe your bloodshot eyes.

Sunday, bloody Sunday.
Sunday, bloody Sunday.

And it's true we are immune,
When fact is fiction and T.V. is reality,
And today the millions cry,
We eat and drink while tomorrow they die.
The real battle just begun.
To claim the victory Jesus won,
On a Sunday, bloody Sunday,
Sunday, bloody Sunday.


The Electric Co.

Somebody cry, somebody cry
Somebody cry
Well somebody try, somebody try
Somebody try something quick
Don't you look back, don't you look back
Don't you look back
Well somebody cry, somebody cry
Somebody cry
Well I can't see why or
What for!
What for!
What for!

(Break it up!)

Boy, stupid boy
Don't sit at the table
'til you're able to

Toy, broken toy
You shout and shout
You're inside out

'til you don't know...Electric co.
'til you don't know...Electric co.

Red, running red
You play for real
Toy could feel
Hole in your head
You go in shock
You're spoon-fed 

'til you don't know...Electric co.
'til you don't know...Electric co.

(Break it up!)

I love the crowd...

If you don't know...Electric co.
If you don't know...Electric co.
If you don't know...Electric co.
If you don't know...Electric co.


New Year's Day

All is quiet on New Year's Day
A world in white gets underway
Oh, I want to be with you
Be with you night and day
Nothing changes on New Year's Day
On New Year's Day

I will be with you again
I will be with you again

Under a blood red sky
A crowd has gathered in black and white
Arms entwined, the chosen few
The newspaper says, says 
Say it's true it's true...
And we can break through
Though torn in two
We can be one

I...I will begin again
I...I will begin again

I will be with you again
I will be with you again
I will be with you again
I will be with you again


'40'

I waited patiently for the Lord
He inclined and heard my cry
He lift me up out of the pit
Out of the mire and clay

I will sing, sing a new song
I will sing, sing a new song

How long to sing this song?
How long to sing this song?
How long...how long...how long...
How long...to sing this song

He set my feet upon a rock
And made my footsteps firm
Many will see
Many will see and hear

I will sing, sing a new song

I will sing, sing a new song
