1. HOLLYWOOD

I've got a picture in my head, in my head
It's me and you , we are in bed, we are in bed
You'll always be there when I call, when I call
You'll always be there most of all, all, all, all

This is not Hollywood,
Like I understood.
This is not Hollywood,
Like, Like, Like.
This is not Hollywood,
Like I understood.
This is not Hollywood,
Like, Like, Like.

Away, Runaway, is there anybody there?
Away, Runaway, is there anybody there?
Get away, Get away, Get away!
Get away, Get away, Get away!

I've got a picture in my room, in my room
I will return there I presume, should be soon
The greatest irony of all, shoot the wall
It's not so glamorous at all, all, all, all

This is not Hollywood,
Like I understood.
This is not Hollywood,
Like, Like, Like.
This is not Hollywood,
Like I understood.
This is not Hollywood,
Like, Like, Like.

Away, Runaway, is there anybody there?
Away, Runaway, is there anybody there?
Get away, Get away, Get away!
Get away, Get away, Get away!
This is not Hollywood, runaway
This is not Hollywood

2. SALVATION
To all those people doing lies, don't do it, don't do it.
Inject your soul with liberty, it's free, it's free.
To all the kids with heroin eyes, don't do it, don't do it.
Because it's not, not what it seems.
No, no it's not, not what it seems

Salvation, salvation, salvation is free.
Salvation, salvation, salvation is free.

To all those parents with sleepless nights, sleepless nights
Tie your kids on to their beds, clear their heads.
To all the kids with heroin eyes, don't do it, don't do it.
Because it's not, not what it seems.
No, no it's not, not what it seems

Salvation, salvation, salvation is free.
Salvation, salvation, salvation is free.
Salvation, salvation, salvation is free.
Salvation, salvation, salvation is free.

3. WHEN YOU'RE GONE

Hold on to love. That is what I do,
Now that I've found you.

And from above, everything's stinking,
They are not around you.
And in the night, I could be helpless
I could be lonely, sleeping without you.
And in the day, everything's complex
There's nothing simple, when I'm not around you.

But, I miss you when you're gone.
That is what I do,
And it's going to carry on,
That is what I knew,

Hold on to my hand,
I feel I'm sinking, sinking without you.
And to my mind, everything's stinking
Stinking without you.
And in the night, I could be helpless
I could be lonely, sleeping without you.
And in the day, everything's complex
There's nothing simple, when I'm not around you.
And, I miss you when you're gone.
That is what I do,
And it's going to carry on,
That is what I knew,

4. FREE TO DECIDE

It's not worth anything more than this at all
I live as I choose or I will not live at all
So return to where you've come from
Return to where you dwell
Because harassments not my forte
But you do it very well

I'm Free To Decide, I'm Free To Decide
And I'm not so suicidal after all
I'm Free To Decide, I'm Free To Decide
And I'm not so suicidal after all

You must have nothing more with your time to do
There's a war in Russia and Sarejevo, too
So to hell with want your thinking
And to hell with your narrow of mind
You're so distracted from the real thing
You should leave your life behind

I'm Free To Decide, I'm Free To Decide
And I'm not so suicidal after all
I'm Free To Decide, I'm Free To Decide
And I'm not so suicidal after all
I'm Free To Decide, I'm Free To Decide
And I'm not so suicidal after all

5. WAR CHILD

Who will save the War Child baby
Who controls the keys
The web we weave is thick and sordid
Fine by me

At times of war
We're all the losers
There's no victory
We'll shoot to kill, and kill your lover
Fine by me

War Child
Victim of political pride
Plant the seed, territorial Greed
Mind, the War Child
We should mind, the War Child

I spent last winter in New York
And came upon a man
He was sleeping on the streets and homeless
He said, 'I fought in Vietnam.'

Beneath his shirt he wore the mark
He wore the mark of Pride
A two-inch deep incision carved
Into his side

War Child
Victim of political pride
Plant the seed, territorial Greed
Mind, the War Child
We should mind, the War Child

Whose the loser now, eh
Whose the loser now, eh
We're all the losers now
We're all the losers now

War child, war child

6. FOREVER YELLOW SKIES

Yellow Skies, I can see you in the Yellow Skies
See you again, I see you again
In my dreams, in my dreams, in my dreams, in my dreams
Morning light, I remember morning light
Outside my doors, I 'll see you no more
In my dreams, in my dreams, in my dreams, in my dreams

Forever, Forever I'll be forever holding you
Forever, Forever I'll be forever holding you
Responsible, Responsible, Responsible, Responsible

So black and white
It's become so black and white
So insecure, You're so insecure
That's what you are, That's what you are
That's what you are, That's what you are

Forever, Forever I'll be forever holding you
Forever, Forever I'll be forever holding you
Responsible, Responsible, Responsible, Responsible

Forever, Forever I'll be forever holding you
Forever, Forever I'll be forever holding you
Responsible, Responsible, Responsible, Responsible

7. THE REBELS

Seems like yesterday we were sixteen
We were The Rebels of the Rebel Scene
We wore Doc Martens in the sun
Drinking vintage cider having fun
We were, drinking vintage cider having fun

It wasn't often, that we'd fight at all! It wasn't often
It wasn't often, that we'd fight at all! It wasn't often

We wore Doc Martens in the snow
Paint our toenails black and let our hair grow
What I am now is what I was then
I am not more acceptable than them
I am not more acceptable than them

It wasn't often, that we'd fight at all! It wasn't often
It wasn't often, that we'd fight at all! It wasn't often
It wasn't often, It wasn't often
It wasn't often, It wasn't often
It wasn't often, It wasn't often
It wasn't often, It wasn't often

Seems like yesterday we were sixteen
We were The Rebels of the Rebel Scene

8. I JUST SHOT JOHN LENNON

It was the fearful night of December 8th
He was returning home from the studio, late
He had perceptively known that it wouldn't be nice
Because in 1980, he paid the price

John Lennon died, John Lennon died, John Lennon died
John Lennon died, John Lennon died, John Lennon died

With a Smith et Wesson, 38
John Lennon's life was no longer a debate
He should have stayed at home, he should have never cared
And the man who took his life declared
He said : 'I Just Shot John Lennon'
He said : 'I Just Shot John Lennon'

What a sad and sorry and sickening sight

What a sad and sorry and sickening sight
What a sad and sorry and sickening sight
What a sad and sorry and sickening sight

I Just Shot John Lennon
He said : 'I Just Shot John Lennon'

What a sad and sorry and sickening sight
What a sad and sorry and sickening sight
What a sad and sorry and sickening sight
What a sad and sorry and sickening sight

9. ELECTRIC BLUE

Electric blue eyes, where did you come from
Electric blue eyes, who sent you
Electric blue eyes, always be near me
Electric blue eyes, I need you

Domine, Domine, Deus,
Domine, Adiuva Me,
Domine, Domine, Deus,
Domine, Adiuva Me
You should go, You should know I love you
You should go, You should know I'm here
Always be near me, guardian angel
Always be near me, there's no fear

Domine, Domine, Deus,
Domine, Adiuva Me,
Domine, Domine, Deus,
Domine, Adiuva Me

10. I'M STILL REMEMBERING

I'm still remembering the day
I gave my life away
I'm still remembering the time
You said you'd be mine
Yesterday was cold and bare
Because you were not there
Yesterday was cold
My story has been told

I need your affection all the way
The world is changing and has changed away
I try to remain
I'm trying not to go insane
I need your affection all the way

I'm still remembering my life
Before I became your wife

I'm still remembering the pain
And the mind games
Reverse psychology, never tainted me
I didn't sell my soul, I didn't sell my soul

I need your affection all the way
The world is changing and has changed away
I try to remain
I'm trying not to go insane
I need your affection all the way

They say the cream 'll always rise to the top
They say that good people are always first to drop
What of Kurt Cobain will his presence still remain
Remember J. F. K. ever saintly in a way

Where are you now
Where are you now
Where are you now
I say, where are you now

I need your affection all the way
I need your affection all the way
I need your affection all the way
I need your affection all the way

11. WILL YOU REMEMBER ?

Will you remember the dress I wore
Will you remember my face
Will you remember the lipstick I wore
This world is a wonderful place

Will you remember the black limousine
Will you remember champagne
Will you remember the things that we see
I will return here again

Will you remember the flowers in my hand
Will you remember my hair
Will you remember the future we planned
The world is not waiting out there

I won't remember the dress I wore
I won't remember champagne
I won't remember the things that we swore
I will just love you in vain

Will you remember
Will you recall
Will you remember

12. JOE

There was a time, I was so lonely
Remember the time, It was a Friday
You made me feel fine, We did it my way
I sat on your knees, every Friday

We walked in fields of golden hay
I still recall you
We walked in fields of golden hay
I see you in the summer

Joe, Joe

I sat on your chair by the fire
Transfixed in a stare taking me higher
Precious years to remember
Childhood fears I surrender

We walked in fields of golden hay
I still recall you
We walked in fields of golden hay
I see you in the summer

Joe, Joe

13. CORDELL

Once you ruled my mind
I thought you'd always be there
And I'll always hold on to your face
But everything changes in time
And the answers are not always fair
And I hope you've gone to a better place

Cordell
Time will tell
They say that you've passed away
And I hope you've gone to a better place
Time will tell
Time will tell
They say that you've passed away
And I hope you've gone to a better place
Cordell...Cordell....Cordell...Cordell
Cordell...Cordell....Cordell

Your lover and baby will cry
But your presence will always remain
Is this how it was meant to be
You meant something more to me
Than what many people will see
And to hell with the industry

Cordell
Time will tell
They say that you've passed away
And I hope you've gone to a better place
Time will tell
Time will tell
They say that you've passed away
And I hope you've gone to a better place
Cordell...Cordell....Cordell...Cordell
Cordell...Cordell....Cordell

14. BOSNIA

I would like to state my vision
Life was so unfair
We live in our secure surroundings
And people die out there

Bosnia, was so unkind
Sarejevo, change my mind

And we all call out in despair
All the love we need isn't there
And we all sing songs in our rooms
Sarejevo erects another tomb


Sarejevo, Sarejevo, Sarejevo, Sarejevo
Bosnia, was so unkind
Sarejevo, Sarejevo, Sarejevo
Bosnia, was so unkind

Sure, things would change
If we really wanted them to
No fear for children anymore
There are babies in their beds
Terror in their heads
For the love of life

When do the saints go marching in
When do the saints go marching in

When do the saints go marching in
When do the saints go marching in
