  • Beautiful Mother View Lyrics

    Beautiful Mother. Beautiful Child.
    Comfort me, please set me free,
    Please bring me closer.
    I want to feel your love in me.

    Beautiful Child
    Saviour of the World. Free my Soul
    Please let me see your glorious kingdom.
    I feel your light shine in me.
    Beautiful Child, I feel your light shine in me.

    Beautiful Mary, Mother of my God.
    Pray for me, Star of the sea.
    Beautiful Mary, your Son will save my soul in me.
    Beautiful Mary, your Son will save my soul in me.

  • Cool it Down   |   View Lyrics

    All the hearts of all the lovers beat as one.
    All the hearts beat to the rhythm of a drum.
    And there love becomes a fire like the sun,
    And explodes like a bullet from a gun.

    Cool it down or your love will burn too high,
    Treat softly, like the touch of a butterfly,
    Cool it down or your love will surly die,
    Treat it softly, like a feather passing by.

    Cool it down sweet lovers cool it down.
    Cool it down sweet lovers cool it down.

    When two lovers touch, their love becomes a fire
    Treat it softly, like the voice of an angel choir.
    When two lovers kiss, there is only one desire.
    Treat it softly, like a dew drop on a wire.

    Cool it down sweet lovers cool it down.
    Cool it down sweet lovers cool it down.

    If you want your love to last a long long time.
    Treat it softly, like the taste of a summer wine.
    If you want your love to be there till the end.
    Treat it softly like the love of a long lost friend.

    Cool it down sweet lovers cool it down.
    Cool it down sweet lovers cool it down.

  • Don't let the bastards get you down View Lyrics

    There’s a long way to go before you reach the top,
    Don’t be surprised if you fall.
    Just roll up your sleeve and wipe the sweat off your brow.
    Remember to read the writing on the wall.
    You’ve got to keep on fighting, keep on striving.
    Don’t let the bastards get you down.
    You’ve got to keep on trying, keep on fighting.
    Don’t let them drag you to the ground.

    There are many sporting heroes who have reached the top.
    And they will tell you the journey is very hard.
    Only dreams will tell you, that you never stop.
    You must always try to do that extra yard.
    You’ve got to keep on fighting, keep on striving.
    Don’t let the bastards get you down.
    You’ve got to keep on trying, keep on fighting.
    Don’t let them drag you to the ground.

    There are many Kings and Queens who tried to stay on top.
    But they were unsuccessful, so they got the chop.
    There were many Politian’s who tried to do the same,
    But they didn’t know how to play the game.

    Remember, you’ve got to keep on fighting, keep on trying.
    Don’t let the bastards get you down.
    You’ve got to keep on striving, keep on trying,
    Don’t let them drag you to the ground.

  • Give me one more day View Lyrics

    I’m sorry were no better Lord,
    Then when you first came down to Earth.
    The World has turned it’s back on you,
    ever since Lord Jesus birth.
    I tried to show teach them how to pray,
    I tried to show the way
    But keep your faith in me my Lord
    Just give me one more day.
    I know I can’t work miracles.
    But I’ll do the best I can
    I’ll try to teach the good news Lord
    And preach to every man.
    Just keep your faith in me my Lord
    Just keep your faith in me
    Give me one more day my Lord
    Just give me one more day.
    I tried to stop the hate my Lord.
    I tried to stop the wars.
    But they won’t listen to my words
    They have heard them all before.

    Keep your faith in me my Lord
    Keep your faith in me.
    Just give me one more day my Lord.
    Just give me one more day.

  • If I told you   |   View Lyrics

    If I told you that I love you would you mind?
    If I told you that I adore you would you care?
    If I told you that the sun was always shining,
    even though the rain is falling down.
    And if I told you that the world had stopped turning,
    even though my heart is spinning round.

    If you told me that you loved me I would cry.
    If you told me that you adored me I would die.
    And if I told you I would make my Princess,
    Even though I will never a Prince.
    And If I told you I would give all my riches,
    Even though I only own this loving song.

    All the pearls in the sea, diamonds in a mine,
    Can’t buy my love.
    All the leaves upon the trees, raindrops upon the seas
    Won’t count my love.

    And If I told you I would swim the seven oceans,
    Even though I have never seen the sea.
    And If I told you we will meet again in heaven.
    Me with you, You with me for eternity.
    Me with you, You with me for eternity.

  • Liberty   |   View Lyrics

    I am blind to all the pain I see
    I can not hear my people calling me
    I do not speak when my people need me.
    I turn my back when they are facing me.

    I bow my head in shame at what I’ve done.
    I’ve crucified my Fathers only Son.
    I’m bound in chains of misery
    I wait for God to give me Liberty.

    Liberty to say I love you
    Liberty to sing my song
    All I’m asking for is liberty
    Liberty so I can praise the Lord.

    I can’t find hope, when hope is all around.
    I can’t find love, when love is under ground.
    I can’t find me, when I am missing.
    I can’t find God when he is calling me.

    Liberty is all I ask for.
    Liberty to sing my song.
    All I’m asking for, is Liberty.
    Liberty, so I can praise the Lord.

  • My God   |   View Lyrics

    My God you are my Father

    My God you are my Father, I am your son.
    Father you are my spirit, my only one.
    I need your spirit now,
    I need your love to guide me.
    Show me how to love you, when I’m down.

    My God you are my Father, I am your son.
    Show the world your spirit, your love, your crown.
    I need your spirit now.
    I need your love to guide me.
    Show me where to find you when I’m down.

    My God I raise my hands for you to see,
    And I beg you to forgive the sins in me.
    My God I kneel and bow my head in prayer
    And I pray you will forgive sins each day.
    My God you are my father, I am your son.
    Father you are my spirit, my only one.
    I need your spirit now,
    I need your love to guide me.
    Show me where to find you when I’m down.

    My God you saved the slaves you saved the Jews.
    You raised the dead; you turned your body into bread.
    My God you are my life, my heart, my home.
    I give to you, everything I own.
    My God you are my Father, I am your Son.

  • Pain in my head View Lyrics

    I woke up this morning with a pain in my head
    I think I will stay in bed till tomorrow.
    Where are the children the Pied Piper led?
    What was the tune that they followed?
    All the Kings horses and all the Kings men,
    Couldn’t put Humpty together again.
    Little Bow Peep had lost her sheep
    And didn’t know where to find them.
    Oh what a crazy world we live in
    Cinderella’s taxi is a pumpkin.

  • Rosie and Johnny View Lyrics

  • The Streets of Mars View Lyrics

    Did you see the lion walking down the streets of Mars?
    Did you hear the Condor screaming, save our Super Stars?
    All the Angles and the Saints are dancing as they sing.
    Lets move on to Saturn and surf the golden ring.

    Did you see the fireball melt the southern pole?
    Did you hear what Gabriel said when Adam lost his soul?
    All the Tribes of Abraham will do the rock and roll.
    Lets move on to Jupiter and dig a great Black hole.

    God will try just one more time to save the world from sin.
    He will send His second son to save the souls of men.
    All the Tribes of Israeli sing ho no not him again.

    God will shut the gates of Heaven and let no more souls in.
    The World will end in 92, and a new world will begin.
    The rain will fall, and the rivers flow and the flowers will bloom again.
    Don’t let the Monkeys come down from the trees again.

    God will try just one more time to save the world from sin.
    He will send His second son to save the souls of men.
    All the Tribes of Israeli sing ho no not him again.

    God will try just one more time to save the world from sin.
    He will send His second son to save the souls of men.
    All the Tribes of Israeli sing ho no not him again.

  • Where the River Meets the Sea   |   View Lyrics

    Out where the moon glides, and the stars silver the sky,
    Where clouds enfold the mountains, in a night world sailing by,
    There my love flows like a river ever searching for its sea –
    Special place, where my love waits, so come, my love, to me.

    So come, my love, to me,
    And you will be my sea
    We will live eternally
    In our own world, you and me
    Where the river meets the sea.
    My love will find you, my love will find you, my love will find you
    Where the river meets the sea.

    Out where the stars shine in a pure black velvet sky,
    Where sleepy clouds are drifting, in a night world sailing by,
    There my love flows like a river ever searching for its sea –
    Special place, where my love waits, so come, my love, to me.

    So come, my love, to me,
    And you will be my sea
    We will live eternally
    In our own world, you and me
    Where the river meets the sea.
    My love will find you, my love will find you, my love will find you
    Where the river meets the sea.

  • You don't need to be King View Lyrics

    You don’t have to be a King to sit on a throne.
    You don’t have to be a Monk to be on your own
    You don’t have to fly to be a Turtledove
    But you need a Heart to be in Love.

    No you don’t need to be a politician to lie.
    You don’t need to be pilot to make people high.
    I’m a lucky man; I knew that from the start.
    So for me to fall in Love, I need a Heart.

    I want to say I love you, but I don’t know where to start.
    How do I say I love you, when I don’t even have a heart?

    You don’t need to be a Cop, to solve a crime.
    You don’t need to be a con, to do the time.
    You don’t need to smile to be a work of art.
    But to fall in love, I need a heart.

    But if I say love you
    As my life is falling apart.
    Then I must, yes I must. Yes I must have a heart.
    Then I know that I do love you
    And I’ve loved from the start
    Yes I must, Ho yes I must, Yes I must have a heart.
