(Sullivan/Heaton)
Get up early every morning
Just to put your make up on
The wardrobe's full of useless clothes
Your winter coats are gone
The jackal pack is feeding
The motorway sweeps down
The council tries to bribe the rich
Just to stay in town
Ch:
Get me out
Get me out of this place
Get me out of this trap
Get me out of my brain
Ysidro
down to Melbourne
The pressure starts to build
The bullets fly at random
When you least expect they will
Everybody feels guilty
So anyone can pay
I'm just surprised it doesn't happen every bloody day
Ch
So here come the nineties
The temperature is rising
I cannot seem to loose the stains
When I wash my hands
One world is rising,
One world is dying
And one has got it's precious head
Buried in the sand
Ch

(Sullivan)
It took fourteen hours to hitch from London to Portsmouth
I can picture you in your battered old coat
Blown by the trucks on the side of the road
Cursing the world just until one pulls over
The cab is warm, the driver is talking
And oh if he had his time over again
And you laugh with the man, but you think of another
Stealing away around each darkened corner
The ghost of your father always always watching
And he waits for you when the black tide comes
And you feel the ghost of your father... waiting
An unbearable stillness hangs over these days
Humming with the promises broken
The bewildered watch from behind misted-up glass
As the ambitious and lucky get to feed on the carcass
When you feel so much in such a small space
Do you think you can keep on running
Like the papers that blow down your empty street
Outside in the dark when you cannot sleep
The ghost of your father always always watching
And he waits for you when the black tide comes
Do you feel the ghost of your father... waiting

It's a long warm September and we're both still
alive
And the sea is like a painting beneath the neon sky
Raise the dead, raise the dead
We'll go riding on the ghost train, together raise the dead
Through the summer scented shadows, we were frozen
in the light
And She brushed upon our faces, disappeared into the night
Raise the dead, raise the dead
We'll go riding on the ghost train, together raise the dead
Additional Red Sky Coven verse:
Time becomes liquid and death becomes a friend
We'll live the life together with the wheel still in spin
Raise the dead raise the dead
We'll go riding on the ghost train with the wheel spinning round

(Sullivan/Dean/White/Gill/Monger?)
So did you lose your faith?
Did you fall upon your sword?
I know she took a piece of your heart
And I know I had a piece of your soul
And now you follow me into the room
Filled with echoes and mirrors
And the sound of something pounding
As you hang there just watching
And when the music is gone
The silence is still ringing
With all these conversations
Between the dead and the living
For the ghosts become part of us,
The ghosts are part of us
Well, you always say you were following your heart
As it took you through these rainy streets and on into the dark
But there is some kind of reckoning when everything is done
For it seems the more that you give, the stronger you become
And there is so much more left for the giving
In all these conversations between the dead and the living
For the ghosts become part of us,
The ghosts are part of us

(Sullivan?)
Headstrong ghosts, dreariest food, nothing to lose
We had not much to eat in the day, nothing to wear in the cold
And they took back our home for the money that we owed
So remember the promise that we made, we never would be poor again
If we crawled out of this place, we came back as winners
Just think what we'd do to 'em then
So we fought and we kicked and we spat and we bit our way out
And we lied and we cheated, for we all know the streets in this town
I bought you a present today, you smiled and you threw it away
We are warm and well fed, we don't need to talk about dreams anymore
And this house is just not what we thought it would be
So we stare at the beggars who starve and go hungry outside
It was hard for us, we'll make it harder for them
Protect, protect and survive
Revenge is not sweet, it is sour and bitter to taste
Now the promise is kept with our conscience as clean as our face

(Sullivan/Heaton)
Well, you never grow up, you just get older,
carrying
all the familiar burdens with you, walking back on
the hometown streets on a night devoid of stars.
No one ever said it was going to be just, you really
ought to know by now how She's
all red in tooth and claw;
after all, weren't you the one screaming for more?
In the gigabyte wars - round
and round we go,
beneath the vapour trails - tangled up inside in a web of lies,
hostages of fortune and savage tales.
Well, you entered stage in blood and pain, gulped
for air
and then you cried out - this is just the way it comes;
that's Stupid Questions again
. . .
It's not the things that you fear that come to get you,
But all the things you don't expect, face down in the
drowning pool of unfulfilled desire, in the gigabyte wars . . .
Then comes the rain - just seems to make the night
grow hotter,
we listen to the drops as they clatter on the roofs of the cars;
sometimes it seems like you're going to suffocate in this
conspiracy of noise - but though the ties they stretch to break-point,
still they hold, still they hold, and blood runs still in crimson
streams
and dries like the earth - but still they hold.
In the gigabyte wars, once we were
lost, then we were found;
once we were found - then we were lost again.
Get real, if a real exists - there's nothing more than this,
Strung out on nothingness . . .

I got to have a shot of what you
got is oh so sweet.
You got to make it hot, like a boomerang I need a repeat,
Ch:
Gimme all your lovin', all your hugs and kisses too,
Gimme all your lovin', don't let up until we're through,
You got to whip it up and hit me
like a ton of lead,
If I blow my top will you let it go to your head?
Ch
You got to move it up and use it
like a screwball would.
You got to pack it up, work it like a new boy should.

Oh a storm is threatening my very
life today.
If I don't get some shelter, oh yeah, I'm gonna fade away.
War, children, it's just a shot
away, it's just a shot away.
War, children, it's just a shot away, it's just a shot away.
See the fire sweepin' our very
street today,
Burns like a red coal carpet, mad bull lost its way.
War, children, it's just a shot away, it's just a shot away.
Rape! Murder! It's just a shot
away, it's just a shot away.
Rape! Murder! It's just a shot away, it's just a shot away.
The flood is threatening my very
life today.
Gimme, gimme shelter or I'm gonna fade away.
War, children, it's just a shot away, it's just a shot away.
Love, sister, it's just a kiss
away, it's just a kiss away.
Love, sister, it's just a kiss away, it's just a kiss away.

There's a drug that can make you feel
Like the greatest of the kings and queens
There's a drug that can make you feel
Like the happiest of slaves
There's a shadow that passes across the sun (RSC 2009: There's an altar where you can pray for what you really desire)
There's a shadow that passes across my face (RSC 2009: There's a shrine with candles lit where you can kneel)
Ch:
God save me from everything I really want
God save me from everything I really feel
God save me from everything I should have said
Crash down the reckless soul
In the desert it's hard to judge distance and time
The lights of town glisten tonight from forty miles away

Come with me my little innocents
There's a game that we can play
See how much we can change your world
While you look the other way
Turn around as if to see
If you can catch us cheat
And all you'll find are shining presents
Laid down at your feet . . .
Take the bait . . .
Television is flash and Coke is nice
And you can have the rest
Dream those dreams you've always had
Of wealth and power and sex
We'll run your mines, your factories
And we'll take our little toll
And you can have these missiles too
While we maintain control
Ch:
Creeping, creeping footsteps around the world
While they promise us
Everything we've ever wanted
Hush now, don't you cry
Don't you realize your crime . .
Like lambs go
to the slaughterhouse
We know our rights from wrongs
But we go down to the shopping mall
With 30 silver coins
And somewhere out in South America
Where the forests lie in ruin
They shout - we'd better get these natives some clothes
Because their videos are coming in soon . .

When I was young I dreamed and dreamed
About all the things that I was going to be
A brave explorer holding court
Or a really famous astronaut
A handsome pop star on the screen
Or captain of the England team
They said "Son, it could all be yours
You just work hard and pay your dues
Don't be content with what you've got
There's always more that you can want
Everybody's on the make
That's what made this country great"
Ch:
So all I wanted in the end
Was world domination and a whole lot of money to spend
A little place to call my home
Like a planet that was all my own
Well that's not much to ask, it's really not
It's not much to ask, just the same as anybody else
So welcome to the free for all
The smash and grab, the freeloaders ball
Where everything is here for us
If we scream, shout, make a fuss
There's nothing that we can't afford
With a poisoned tongue and a sharpened sword
Spoilt children in a row
No-one dares to tell them "No"
Ch:
So all I wanted in the end
Was world domination and a whole lot of money to spend
Everything I touch, everything I see
Fame and fortune, immortality
Well that's not much to ask, it's really not
It's not much to ask, just the same as everybody else
So in every heart there's a broken dream
A shattered cause, a might have been
In every eye there's a secret tear
In every heart there's a secret fear
That this is it, done, complete
Resign yourself to your defeat
The bitterness behind the show
That's where spoilt children go

Green is
what I see when I close my eyes, drifting out of here
The colour of the forests and the uniforms and the bottles of beer
Flying in low above the cedar trees
through the soaking air
Our voices raised high against the rotor blades and the beating of fear
So long ago
Green is what I was the last time I saw my family
I was hungry then for anything and everything
The world could throw at me
Then we were sweeping over lands that I never knew where there
With half a pound of dope and cigarettes
For the soldiers on either side
Of the burning bridge
They shipped us out but I never went home
Driving timber on these mountain roads
You skip a beat and seven years goes by
Tonight again I'll dream I'm walking across the room
in the moonlight
I'll throw the windows open wide, smell the falling dew outside
I'll climb out onto the roof, close my eyes
And I'll begin to fly

The time I think most clearly
The time I drift away
Is on the busride that meanders
Up these valleys of green and grey
I get to think about what might have been
And what may yet come true
And I get to pass a rainy mile
Thinking of you
And all the while, all the while
I still hear that call
To the land of gold and poison
That beckons to us all
Nothing changes here very much
I guess you'd say it never will
The pubs are all full on Friday nights
And things get started still
We spent hours last week with Billy boy
Bleeding, yeah queueing in casualty
Staring at those posters we used to laugh at
Never never land, palm trees by
the sea
Well there was no need for those guys
To hurt him so bad
When all they had to do
Was knock him down
But no one asks too many questions like that any more
Since you left this town
Ch:
And tomorrow brings another train
Another young brave steals away
But you're the one I remember
From these valleys of green and the grey
You used to talk about winners and losers
All the time - as if that was all there was
As if we were not of the same blood family
As if we live by different laws
Do you owe so much less to these rain swept hills
Than you owe to your good self
Is it true that the world has always got
to be something that always seems
to happen - somewhere else
For God's sake don't you realise
That I still hear that call
Do you think you're so brave
Just to go running
To that which beckons to us all
Ch
No, not for one second
Did you look behind you
As you were walking away
Never once did you wish any of us well
Those who had chosen to stay
And if that's what it takes to make it
In the place that you live today
Then I guess you'll never read these letters that I send
From the valleys of the green and the grey

Some people know just what they want
They stare straight into the sun
And some they stand in no mans land
Waving at the devil that they know and the devil that they don't
As the gods smile down into the bowl of passions
I can feel when the thunder's coming
But fate comes quicker than a bullet to the back of the head
Halfway across the bridge is when I realise what I've done
But I cannot chase the sunset any quicker than I'm going
And I'm going like I never begun
And I thought that I believed in all the things that you sanctify
Bitter is the taste of freedom - more empty than the sky
And the taste of freedom is the thing that you won't deny
Through the hours of shell-hole desperation
Waiting, waiting - out here in no mans land
Waving at the devil that I know and the devil that I don't
More empty than the sky
