You are on one side I am on the other Are we divided? Why can't we live together There are no rights This isn't your decision We need to talk of changing things But no one wants to listen It doesn't have to be like that It doesn't have to be like that It doesn't have to be like that A heart on the inside The same as any other Are we divided? Someone always has to suffer We are broken There's no one left to change it Is that the way it has to be? Why can't we rearrange it? It doesn't have to be like that (One against one) It doesn't have to be like that (One against one) It doesn't have to be like that What is the secret In calling me a brother? Are we divided? Always one against the other We are strong now Put down the ammunition For what we know is right Is gonna breakdown this division It doesn't have to be like that (One against one) It doesn't have to be like that (One against one) It doesn't have to be like that (One against one) (One against one) It doesn't have to be like that You are one side And I am on the other Are we divided? SONG: Victim Of Love - The Circus I don't wanna look like some kind of fool I don't wanna break my heart over you I'm building a wall Everyday it's getting higher This time I won't end up another victim of love You say that I could show some emotion That I've been keeping secrets from you But I can see through all your sweet talk And all of your affection untrue I'm gonna find you out If I scream and I shout You won't break down my protection I don't wanna look like some kind of fool I don't wanna break my heart over you I'm building a wall Everyday it's getting higher This time I won't end up another victim of love I'm gonna lock up what I'm feeling inside Ain't no way you can break down the door Cause this time I've learned my lesson You can take this declaration of war Step right back Put on your coat and your hat Gonna avoid all complications I don't wanna look like some kind of fool I don't wanna break my heart over you I'm building a wall Everyday it's getting higher This time I won't end up another victim of love SONG: The Circus - The Circus Call it new technology And they use it to burn And they show no concern Work for their prosperity While the big wheels turn Now it's too late to learn Don't upset the teacher Though we know he lied to you Don't upset the preacher He's gonna close his eyes for you And it's a shame that you're so afraid Just a worker waiting in the pouring rain Putting back the pieces of a broken dream Putting back the pieces of a broken dream Father worked in industry Now the work has moved on And the factories gone See them sell your history Where once you were strong And you used to belong There was once a future for a working man There was once a lifetime for a skilful hand Yesterday And it's a shame that you're so afraid Just a worker waiting in the pouring rain Putting back the pieces of a broken dream Putting back the pieces of a broken dream Don't upset the teacher Though we know he lied to you Don't upset the preacher Gonna close his eyes for you And it's a shame that you're so afraid Just a worker waiting in the pouring rain Putting back the pieces of a broken dream Tempers fray so easily In desperate despair Is there anyone who cares Just another tragedy Just a personal affair In a room somewhere There was once a future for a working man There was once a lifetime for a skilful hand Yesterday And it's a shame that you're so afraid Just a worker waiting in the pouring rain Putting back the pieces of a broken dream Putting back the pieces of a broken dream SONG: Ship Of Fools - The Innocents I can't believe what is happening to me My head is spinning The flowers and the trees are encapsulating me And I go spinning He was the baby of the class you know He really didn't know that one and one was two And two and two were four He was the baby of the class you know He really didn't know that, really didn't know that Oh what a poor soul Oooh, do we not sail on the ship of fools Oooh, why is love so precious and so cruel? I close my eyes and I try to imagine What you're dreaming Why can't you see what you're doing to me My world is spinning You were the baby of the class you know You really didn't know that one and one was two And two and two were four You were the baby of the class You were so young and so uncertain Suffer little children Oh what a poor soul Oooh, do we not sail on the ship of fools Oooh, why is love so precious and so cruel? He was the baby of the class you know He really didn't know that one and one was two And two and two were four He was the baby of the class you know He was so young and so uncertain Suffer little children Oh what a poor soul Oooh, do we not sail on the ship of fools Oooh, why is love so precious and so cruel? Oooh, do we not sail on the ship of fools Oooh, why is love so precious and so cruel? SONG: Chains Of Love - The Innocents How can I explain When there are few words I can choose How can I explain When words get broken Do you remember There was a time ahaha When people on the street Were walking hand in hand in hand They used to talk about the weather Making plans together Days would last forever Come to me, cover me, hold me Together we'll break these chains of love Don't give up, don't give up Together with me and my baby Break the chains of love Do you remember Once upon a time ahaha When there were open doors An invitation to the world We were falling in and out with lovers Looking out for others Our sisters and our brothers Come to me, cover me, hold me Together we'll break these chains of love Don't give up, don't give up Together with me and my baby Break the chains of love Together we'll break these chains of love How can I explain When there are few words I can choose How can I explain When words get broken We used to talk about the weather Making plans together Days would last forever Come to me, cover me, hold me Together we'll break these chains of love Don't give up, don't give up Together with me and my baby Break the chains of love SONG: A Little Respect - The Innocents I try to discover A little something to make me sweeter Oh baby refrain from breaking my heart I'm so in love with you I'll be forever blue That you give me no reason Why you're making me work so hard That you give me no That you give me no That you give me no That you give me no Soul, I hear you calling Oh baby please give a little respect to me And if I should falter Would you open your arms out to me We can make love not war And live at peace with our hearts I'm so in love with you I'll be forever blue What religion or reason Could drive a man to forsake his lover Don't you tell me no Don't you tell me no Don't you tell me no Don't you tell me no Soul, I hear you calling Oh baby please give a little respect to me I'm so in love with you I'll be forever blue That you give me no reason Why you're making me work so hard That you give me no That you give me no That you give me no That you give me no Soul, I hear you calling Oh baby please give a little respect to me Soul, I hear you calling Oh baby please give a little respect to me SONG: Stop! - Single We'll be together again I've been waiting for a long time We're gonna be, we're gonna be Together again I've been connected To the right line We'll be together And nobody ain't never Gonna disconnect us Or ever separate us Or say to us you've got to Stop!

One rule for us, for you another Do unto yourself as you see fit for your brother Is that not within your realm of understanding? A fifty second capacity of mind, too demanding? Well then poor unfortunate you There are a myriad of things that you can do Like pick up a pen and paper or go talk to a friend The history of the future No violence or revenge Your shame is never...ending Just one psychological drama after another You are guilty and how you ever entered into this life God only knows, the infinite complexities of love We all have the ability Our freedom is fragile We all laugh and we cry don't we? We all bleed and we smile Your shame is never...ending Just one psychological drama after another You are guilty and how you ever entered into this life God only knows, you're not to sacrifice the art of love Your shame is never...ending Just one psychological drama after another We are guilty and how you ever entered into this life God only knows, the infinite complexities of love We are guilty and how you ever entered into this life God only knows, you're not to sacrifice the art of love We are guilty and how you ever entered into this life The Lord only knows, the infinite complexities of love We are guilty and how you ever entered into this life God only knows, the ultimate necessity of love SONG: You Surround Me - Wild! Don't ever let me take you for granted You've got your finger on the pulse of my soul Let me place a kiss in the small of your back Love and protect you from the evils of this world Baby don't ever leave me stranded Whoever said that the streets were paved with gold We'll I'm afraid that we're all sadly mistaken There's nothing here 'til we have someone to hold I love you with all the joy of living 'Til the lights go down in New York City It's a special love affair And there's magic in the air You gotta shake me down Bring me 'round to my senses 'Til I'm lost and found And you surround me with your senses If love wasn't here would we reinvent it? Oh take me down to the very root of my soul Oh baby say it as if you really mean it And feel the passion Work its way up through your skin I love you with all the joy of living 'Til the lights go down in New York City It's a special love affair And there's magic in the air You gotta shake me down Bring me 'round to my senses 'Til I'm lost and found And you surround me with your senses Let me take you by the hand And lead you to a safe place in this world SONG: Blue Savannah - Wild! Blue Savannah song Oh blue Savannah song Somewhere 'cross the desert Sometime in the early hour In a restless world On the open highways My home is where the heart is Sweet to surrender to you only I send my love to you Blue Savannah song Oh blue Savannah song Racing 'cross the desert At a hundred miles an hour To the orange side Through the clouds and thunder Home is where the heart is Sweet to surrender to you only I send my love to you I'm on my way back and your love will bring me home I'm travelling fast and your love will bring me home Will I discover that your love will bring me home? Somewhere 'cross the desert Sometime in the early hour To the orange side Through the clouds and thunder My home is where the heart is Sweet to surrender to you only I send my love to you SONG: Star - Wild! We go waiting for the stars To come showering down From Moscow to Mars Universe falling down You got to look real hard There's a fiery star Hidden out there somewhere Not the satellite of love But a laser Shooting out it's shiny tongue there God is love, God is war TV-preacher tell me more Father help me am I pure? As pure as pure as heaven Sent you money sent you flowers Could I worship you for hours In whose hands are we anyway? We go waiting for the stars To come showering down From Moscow to Mars Universe falling down You got to look real hard Is it in your heart? Yeah it's in there somewhere The power wrapped in your palm Show it to me Hit them with your wrath and thunder What's your pleasure? Tell it to me How did he know? Show your beauty In you somewhere, somewhere in me Pure as pure as heaven Sent you money, sent you flowers Could I worship you for hours In whose hands are we anyway? Yeeha Rolling along through a rose coloured glow The city looks pretty in pink Armageddon is here! Did you ever have a lover Leave you for another And take your love and kisses for granted Never to discover War is not the answer Leave you only disenchanted God is love, God is war TV-preacher tell me more Father help me am I pure? As pure as pure as heaven Sent you money sent you flowers Could I worship you for hours In whose hands are we anyway? We go waiting for the stars To come showering down From Moscow to Mars Universe falling down SONG: Chorus - Chorus Go ahead with your dreamin' For what it's worth Or you'll be stricken bound Kicking up dirt For when it's dark You never know what the night it may bring Go ahead with your schemin' And shop at home You'll find treasure While cookin' up bones But the knife is sharp You'd better watch that you don't cut your hands And they covered up the sun Until the birds had flown away And the fishes in the sea Had gone to sleep Holy Moses our hearts are screaming Souls are lifting only dreaming We'll be waiting some are praying For a time when no one's cheating The sunlight rising over the horizon Just a distant memory the dawn chorus Birds singing bells ringing In our hearts in our minds... SONG: Love To Hate You - Chorus I'm crazy flowing over with ideas A thousand ways to woo a lover so sincere Love and hate what a beautiful combination Sending shivers up and down my spine For every Casanova that appears My sense of hesitation disappears Love and hate what a beautiful combination Sending shivers up and down my spine And the lovers that you sent for me Didn't come with any satisfaction guarantee So I return them to the sender And the note attached will read How I love to hate you I love to hate you I love to hate you I love to hate you Oh you really still expect me to believe Every single letter I receive Sorry you what a shameful situation Sending shivers up and down my spine I like to read a murder mystery I like to know the killer isn't me Love and hate what a beautiful combination Sending shivers make me quiver Feel it sliver up and down my spine SONG: Am I Right? - Chorus Wandering through the back roads And the rain comes rushin' down To resolve your love For this man in his twenties Am I right? Am I wrong? Or am I just dreaming? Climbing up the backstairs There's a chill wind in the air I wrap up from the cold Pull the blinds in the window Who was there? Was it you? Or am I just dreaming? Look at all the lonely people Walking miles around the town I can see the old cathedral But I have to play it down Boats along the river Setting up their sails And life carries on as normal Although you're not around Waiting at the bus stop Laughing off the rain Shaking their umbrellas Till it starts again Flowers in the water Floating off downstream Paper in the gutter Blowing in the breeze Am I right? Am I wrong? Or am I just dreaming? SONG: Breath Of Life - Chorus Never had a point of view 'Cause my mind was always someone else's mind I never had to tell a lie 'Cause I left the choices up to them Don't know why but I did Oh I want life Life wants me To breathe in it's love Take me I'm yours Now I'm coming up for air I'm gonna live my time For the rest of my life Then I'll be comin' back for more I never had to call the tune 'Cause I always drifted with the tide of the moon I would go out every night Looking for someone to treat me right Not a chance not a hope in this world SONG: Take A Chance On Me - Abba-Esque If you change your mind, I'm the first in line Honey I'm still free, take a chance on me If you need me, let me know, and I'll be around If you've got no place to go, when you're feeling down If you're all alone when the pretty birds have flown Honey I'm still free, take a chance on me Gonna do my very best and it ain't no lie If you put me to the test, if you let me try Take a chance on me (come on, give me a break will ya?)
