Ravenscraig

Word came like a hammer
Night fell down like a shroud
And it's caught me drinking, trying to turn back the clock
Through this industrial ghost town

I've known graft and I've voted well
Trying to keep the Lowlands red
But all I gets control in foreign hands
Other colours instead

All I want is a roof over my head
All I want is a steady job
All I want to do is say I love you
With every penny I've got
And all I think about is Debbie and Jane
To give them some kind of chance in life
But the long road running out the strip mill gates
Has got me walking that line

We never stretched our dance hall dreams
We got it just about right
There's little escape from a working town
And from a working life

I placed my future in the palm of your hand
One autumn Friday at the Church of All Saints
There's no investment here in life or in love
And now it's getting too late

All I want is a roof over my head
All I want is a steady job
All I want to do is say I love you
With every penny I've got
And all I think about is Debbie and Jane
To give them some kind of chance in life
But the long road running out the strip mill gate
Has got me walking that line

Has got me walking that line

Has got me walking that line

Last dance

Last dance
Last dance for love
Yes, it's my last chance
For romance tonight
I I need you by me
Beside me, to guide me
To hold me, to scold me
'Cause when I'm bad
I'm so, so bad

So let's dance the last dance
Let's dance the last dance
Let's dance this last dance tonight

Last dance
Last dance for love
Yes, it's my last chance
For romance tonight
Oh-ho, I need you by me
Beside me, to guide me
To hold me, to scold me
'Cause when I'm bad
I'm so, so bad
So let's dance the last dance
Let's dance the last dance
Let's dance the last dance tonight

Oh-ho, I need you by me
To guide me, to guide me
To hold me, to scold me
'Cause when I'm bad
I'm so, so bad

So, come on baby, dance that dance
Come on baby, dance that dance
Come on baby, let's dance tonight

Carteiro em Bicicleta

Quando for grande vou ser
quero ser um realejo
ter um pedaço de terra
fogo que salta ao braseiro
dormir no fundo da serra
quero ser um realejo

Carteiro em bicicleta
leva recados de amor
vem o sono com a música
ao som do realejo

Quando for grande vou ser
quero ser um realejo
ter um burro viola e cão
chamar a dança dos sapos
correr com a bola na mão
quero ser um realejo

Quando for grande vou ser
quero ser um realejo
colher amêndoa em telhados
dar banana às andorinhas
dobrar o cabo do mundo
quero ser um realejo

Carteiro em bicicleta
leva recados de amor
vem o sono com a música
ao som do realejo

Quando for grande vou ser
quero ser um realejo
ter um burro viola e cão
chamar a dança dos sapos
correr com a bola na mão
quero ser um realejo

Carteiro em bicicleta
leva recados de amor
vem o sono com a música
ao som do realejo

Believe in Love

Why do I believe in love?
When it's never been around
It's always been a sound I can't hear.

Why do I believe in love?
When it's always been a wound
It's always been a room that's empty.

Oh, I still believe in love.
Oh, I still believe in love,
Though it's never been around,
It's always been a sound I can't hear.

What is there to learn from love?
That it can hit you like a wave,
but it's as subtle as the glass you look through.

What is there to learn from love?
That it's something never owed,
it's a promise no one has to make you.

Oh, I still believe in love.
Oh, I still believe in love,
Though it's never been around,
It's always been a sound I can't hear.

Rainmakers

Jump

I get up, and nothing gets me down.
You got it tough, I’ve seen the toughest soul around
And I know, just how it feels.
You've got to roll with the punches to get to what's real
Oh can't you see me standing here,
I've got my back against the record machine, I ain't the worst that you've seen.
Oh can't you see what I mean ?

Might as well jump. Jump !
Might as well jump.
Go ahead, jump. Jump !
Go ahead, jump.

Hey you ! Who said that ?
Baby how you been ?
You say you don't know, you won't know
until you begin.
Well can't you see me standing here,
I've got my back against the record machine
I ain't the worst that you've seen.
Oh can't you see what I mean ?

Might as well jump. Jump!
Go ahead, jump.
Might as well jump. Jump!
Go ahead, jump. Jump!

The Boxer

I am just a poor boy
Though my story's seldom told
I have squandered my resistance
For a pocket full of mumbles such are promises
All lies and jests
Still a man hears what he wants to hear
And disregards the rest

When I left my home and my family
I was no more than a boy
In the company of strangers
In the quiet of the railway station running scared
Laying low, seeking out the poorer quarters
Where the ragged people go
Looking for the places only they would know

Lie la lie ...

Asking only workman's wages
I come looking for a job
But I get no offers,
Just a come-on from the whores on Seventh Avenue
I do declare, there were times when I was so lonesome
I took some comfort there

Lie la lie ...

Then I'm laying out my winter clothes
And wishing I was gone
Going home
Where the New York City winters aren't bleeding me
Bleeding me, going home

In the clearing stands a boxer
And a fighter by his trade
And he carries the reminders
Of ev'ry glove that layed him down
Or cut him till he cried out
In his anger and his shame
"I am leaving, I am leaving"
But the fighter still remains

Lie la lie ...

Please accept my love

I don't even know your name
But I love you just the same
If you let me hold your hand
Then I think maybe I can make you understand

If you only, only knew
Just how much I love you
Loving you the way I do
Then you'd take the night to love me too

I'm like the picture on the wall
So please don't let me fall
It's my heart I'm thinking of
So please, please accept my love

If you let me be your slave
Your love I'll cherish to my grave
And if you should die before I do
I'll, I said I'll, I'll end my life to be with you

Yes I will!
