A love born once must soon be born again
A flame that died, then cinders to be fanned
By the wind and thrown to flame
Flames like tongues impassioned in a moments burst
Tell me, friend, why do you stand aloof from your own heart?

The truth confronts you
The truth confronts you as the sea
Crushing without detail, impassioned and detached
Killing with love and power in God's name

People, stop hurting people
People, stop hurting people

Love conquers poses, love smashes stances
Love crushes angles into black
So you without question, know your first love is your last
And you will never, you'll never, you'll never love again

I always wished to walk with her into restaurants
It's a clammy tale
To be seen beside her at the public bar foot rail
I always wanted to be matched with her

Yet her beauty was so different to mine
My beauty needs an understanding and a knowledge of what I am
Hers is enough, earned through eons for that's what true beauty is
Time's gift of perfect humility

May I be matched with you again
I know the match is bad but God help me
May I be matched with you again
I know the match is bad but God help me

May I be matched with you again
I know the match is bad but God help me
May I be matched with you again
I know the match is bad but God help me, God help me

May I be matched with you again
Without your match there is no flame

People, stop hurting people
People, stop hurting people
People, stop hurting people
People, stop hurting people

People, stop hurting people
People, stop hurting people
People, stop hurting people
People, stop hurting people

People, stop hurting people
People, stop hurting people
People, stop hurting people
People, stop hurting people

Why was I born today
Life is useless like Ecclesiastes say
I never had a chance
But opportunity's now in my hands

I stand with my guitar
All I need's a mirror then I'm a star
I'm so sick of dud TV
Next time you switch on
You might see me, oh, what a thrill for you

I've been there, gone there
I've lived there and bummed there
I've spinned there, I gave there
I drank there and I slaved there

I've had enough of the way things been done
Every man on a razors edge
Someone has used us to kill with the same gun
Killing each other by driving a wedge

My life's a mess
I wait for you to pass
I stand here at the bar
I hold an empty glass

Why was I born today

I've spinned there, I gave there
I drank there and I slaved there

Had enough of the way things have been done
Every man on a razors edge
Someone has used us to shoot with the same gun
We were killing each other by driving a wedge

My life's a mess
I wait for you to pass
I stand here at the bar
I hold an empty glass

Don't worry, smile and dance
You just can work life out
Don't let down moods entrance you
Take the wine and shout

My life's a mess
I wait for you to pass
I stand here at the bar
I hold an empty glass

Tough boys running the streets
Come a little closer rough toys
Under the sheets nobody knows her

Rough boys don't walk away
I very nearly missed you
Tough boys come over here
I wanna bite and kiss you

I wanna see what I can find
Tough kids take a bottle of wine
When your deal is broken
Ten quid she's so easy to find
Not a word is spoken

Rough boys don't walk away
I'm still pretty blissed here
Tough boy I'm gonna carry you home
You got pretty ...... dear

Gonna get inside you
Gonna get inside your bitter mind

Rough boys don't walk away
I wanna buy you leather
Make noise try and talk me away
We can't be seen together

Tough kids what can I do?
I'm so pale and weedy
Rough fits in my hush puppy shoes
But I'm still pleading

Tough boys running the streets
Come a little closer
Rough toys under the sheets
Nobody knows her

Rough boys don't walk away
I very nearly missed you
Tough boys come over here
I wanna bite and kiss you
I wanna see what I can find

And I moved
As I saw him looking
In through my window
His eyes were silent lies

And I moved
And I saw him standing
In the doorway
His figure merely filled the space

And I moved
But I moved toward him

And I moved
And his hands felt like ice, exciting
As he laid me back
Just like an empty dress

And I moved
But a minute later
He was weeping
His tears his only truth

And I moved
But I moved toward him
I moved toward him

When you travel to the green hills of Ayr
Where the sea breaks windows on the border line
Remember me to a girl who lives there
For she once was a true love of mine

Please see for me that her red hair is long
And flows and curls down her back and breast
Please see for me that her red hair is long
For that's the way I remember her the best

North Country girl, ooh
North Country girl, ooh
North Country girl, ooh
North Country girl, ooh

See that she's warm when the summer ends
When trees are bare and the rivers freeze
She washes clothes where the river bends
She's working on her knees

See for me that her coat's pulled up close
And her beret frames her sweet pretty face
See that she's warm and drink her a toast
For I am exiled in a lonely place

Please let me know if she remembers me at all
A hundred times I've hoped and prayed
That way up there near the Roman Wall
She didn't suffer when the fall had sprayed

North Country girl, ooh
North Country girl, ooh
North Country girl, ooh
North Country girl, ooh

I went back to Ohio
But my city was gone
There was no train station
There was no downtown
South Howard had disappeared
All my favorite places
My city had been pulled down
Reduced to parking spaces
Ay, oh, way to go, Ohio

Well, I went back to Ohio
But my family was gone
I stood on the back porch
There was nobody home
I was stunned and amazed
My childhood memories
Slowly swirled past
Like the wind through the trees
Ay, oh, way to go, Ohio

I went back to Ohio
But my pretty countryside
Had been paved down the middle
By a government that had no pride
The farms of Ohio
Had been replaced by shopping malls
And Muzak filled the air
From Seneca to Cuyahoga Falls
Said, ay, oh, way to go, Ohio

Kid what changed your mood
You've gone all sad so I feel sad too
I think I know some things we never outgrow
You think it's wrong
I can tell you do
How can I explain
When you don't want me to

Kid my only kid
You look so small you've gone so quiet
I know you know what I'm about
I won't deny it
But you forgive though you don't understand
You've turned your head
You've dropped by hand

All my sorrow, all my blues
All my sorrow

Shut the light, go away
Full of grace, you cover your face

Kid gracious kid
Your eyes are blue but you won't cry
I know angry tears are too dear
You won't let them go

He's gone 2000 miles
It's very far
The snow is falling down
Gets colder day by day
I miss you

The children will sing
He'll be back at christmastime

In these frozen and silent nights
Sometimes in a dream you appear
Outside under the purple sky
Diamonds in the snow sparkle
Our hearts were singing
It felt like christmastime

2000 miles
Is very far through the snow
I'll think of you
Wherever you go

He's gone 2000 miles
It's very far
The snow is falling down
Gets colder day by day
I miss you

I can hear people singing
It must be christmastime
I hear people singing
It must be christmastime

Hope everybody's ringing on their own bell, this fine morning.
Hope everyone's connected to that long distance phone.
Old man, he's a mountain.
Old man, he's an island.
Old man, he's a-walking says
``I'm going to call, call all my children home.''

Hope everybody's dancing to their own drum this fine morning ---
the beat of distant Africa or a Polish factory town.
Old man, he's calling for his supper.
Calling for his whisky.
Calling for his sons and daughters, yeah ---
calling all his children round.

Sharp ears are tuned in to the drones and chanters warming.
Mist blowing round some headland, somewhere in your memory.
Everyone is from somewhere ---
even if you've never been there.
So take a minute to remember the part of you
that might be the old man calling me.

How many wars you're fighting out there, this winter's morning?
Maybe it's always time for another Christmas song.
Old man he's asleep now.
Got appointments to keep now.
Dreaming of his sons and daughters, and proving ---
proving that the blood is strong.

They said there'll be snow at Christmas
They said there'll be peace on Earth
But instead it just kept on raining
A veil of tears for the Virgin birth
I remember one Christmas morning
A winters light and a distant choir
And the peal of a bell and that Christmas Tree smell
AND EYES full of tinsel and fire

They sold me a dream of Christmas
They sold me a Silent Night
And they told me a fairy story
'Till I believed in the Israelite
And I believed in Father Christmas
And I looked to the sky with excited eyes
'Till I woke with a yawn in the first light of dawn
And I saw him and through his disguise

I wish you a hopeful Christmas
I wish you a brave New Year
All anguish pain and sadness
Leave your heart and let your road be clear
They said there'll be snow at Christmas
They said there'll be peace on Earth
Hallelujah Noel be it Heaven or Hell
The Christmas we get we deserve

Through long December nights we talk in words of rain or snow,
while you, through chattering teeth, reply and curse us as you go.
Why not spare a thought this day for those who have no flame
to warm their bones at Christmas time?
Say Jack Frost and the Hooded Crow.

Now as the last broad oak leaf falls, we beg: consider this:
there's some who have no coin to save for turkey, wine or gifts.
No children's laughter round the fire, no family left to know.
So lend a warm and a helping hand:
say Jack Frost and the Hooded Crow.
As holly ...... and ivy clings, your fate is none too clear.
The Lord may find you wanting, let your good fortune disappear.
All homely comforts blown away and all that's left to show
is to share your joy at Christmas time
with Jack Frost and the Hooded Crow.

Through long December nights we talk in words of rain or snow,
while you, through chattering teeth, reply and curse us as you go.
Why not spare a thought this day for those who have no flame
to warm their bones at Christmas time?

See it clear
Sounds of emotion
Spreading all o'er the world
Bringing peace for a moment
Say it's all possible
But it's easier said than done

Hold it there
Try to imagine
Scenes of heaven in motion
Singing songs of devotion
Say it's all possible
But it's easier said than done

Twice as clear
Bringers of wisdom
Simply trying to touch
And to bring you the truth
Say it's all possible
But it's easier said than done
Yeah, yeah

Think of a season
So easy to reach
Thoughts of a blue world
Where innocence leads you to
A miraculous high
When someone you remember
Helps by telling you why
(Helps by telling you why)

The pilot is worship
Dig deep within
Not so easily seen
Or amazingly witnessed
To bring you the truth
It's already said and done
Yeah, yeah

Hold it there
You can imagine
All of heaven in motion
Special songs of devotion
Say it's all possible
But it's easier said than done
Yeah, yeah

Think of a season
So easy to reach
Thoughts of a blue world
Where innocence leads you to
A miraculous high
When someone you remember
Helps by telling you why

The pilot is worship
Dig deep within
Not so specially seen
Or amazingly witnessed
To bring you the truth
It's already said and done
Already said and done
Already said and done

Sounds of emotion
Spreading all o'er the world
Bringing peace for a moment
Say it's all possible

I'm just an ordinary average guy
My friends all are boring
And so am I
We're just ordinary average guys

We all lead ordinary average lives
With average kids
And average wives
We all go bowling at the bowling lanes
Drink a few beers
Bowl a few frames
We're just ordinary average guys
Ordinary average guys

And every Saturday we work in the yard
Pick up the dog doo
Hope that it's hard (woof woof)
Take out the garbage and clean out the garage
My friend's got a Chrysler
I've got a Dodge
We're just ordinary average guys
Ordinary average guys

Ordinary average guy(3x)
Ordinary average average guys

Ordinary average guy(3x)
Ordinary average average average guys

Ordinary average guy(3x)
Ordinary average....

Somewhere out there on that horizon
Out beyond the neon lights
I know there must be somethin' better
But there's nowhere else in sight
It's survival in the city
When you live from day to day
City streets don't have much pity
When you're down, that's where you'll stay
In the city, oh, oh.
In the city
I was born here in the city
With my back against the wall
Nothing grows, and life ain't very pretty
No one's there to catch you when you fall
Somewhere out on that horizon
Faraway from the neon sky
I know there must be somethin' better
And I can't stay another night
In the city, oh, oh.
In the city
