1. DON'T KILL IT CAROL

This wild rose that I hold in my hand
It's the strangest thing I've seen,
One bud only just started to show,
And the leaves are the lightest green.
It's had it's share of the rain,
It needs some feeling to light it's fiery flame again,
But one cruel lie and it could die.

(Don't kill it Carol)
Oh Carol oh, won't you let this flower grow,
Don't kill it Carol.
Oh Carol oh, won't you let this flower grow,
Don't kill it Carol.

This wild rose that I hold in my hand,
It could grow to be so strong,
Born one night in the calm of the storm,
It was made for a rock and roll song.
It's only just seen the light,
It could so easily fall back to the gentle night,
But one cruel lie and it could die.

(Don't kill it Carol)
Oh Carol oh, won't you let this flower grow,
Don't kill it Carol.
Oh Carol oh, won't you let this flower grow,
Don't kill it Carol.

It's looking for a place to live outside all space and time,
Where there's no need for it to fade.
There's a secret garden that I think we can find,
Lot's of sunshine there's a touch of shade.

(Don't kill it Carol)

This wild rose that I hold in my hand
It's the strangest thing I've seen,
One bud only just started to show,
And the leaves are the lightest green.
It's had it's share of the rain,
It needs some feeling to light it's fiery flame again,
But one cruel lie and it could die.

(Don't kill it Carol)
Oh Carol oh, won't you let this flower grow,
Don't kill it Carol.
Oh Carol oh, won't you let this flower grow,
Don't kill it Carol.

2. YOU ANGEL YOU

You angel you,
You got me under your wing,
And the way you walk and the way you talk,
Feel I could almost sing.

You angel you,
You're as fine as anything's fine,
Though I just walk and I watch you talk,
Your memory's on my mind.

Even though I can't sleep at night for trying,
Well I never did feel this way before,
I never did get up and walk the floor,
If this is love then give me more and more and more and more and more.

You angel you,
You're as fine as fine can be,
And the way you walk and the way you talk,
Is the way it ought to be.

You angel you.
Well I never did feel this way before,
I never did get up and walk the floor,
If this is love then give me more and more and more and more and more.

You angel you,
You got me under your wing,
And the way you walk and the way you talk,
Feel I could almost sing.

You angel you,
You're as fine as anything's fine,
Though I just walk and I watch you talk,
Your memory's on my mind.

Even though I can't sleep at night for trying,
Well I never did feel this way before,
I never did get up and walk the floor,
If this is love then give me more and more.


3. HOLLYWOOD TOWN

Down, down in Hollywood town,
The lost and found come to find their way,
Walking outside, feelings they hide,
Putting their pride through well known paces,
Stepping on stars and shining on cars,
Passing by, their heads are high,
But their hearts are low down,
Dragging as they go,
Reaching out to those other faces.

Down, down in Hollywood town,
The good time sounds are heard all day,
But the night time's coming, you're on your own,
Looking for a place someone to share with,
Waiting in queues to hear the blues,
To find a way from the emptiness,
To be found inside of those who try,
To climb to the image of the TV good guy.

Stranger I know you,
We learned to walk together,
Lovers, wondering whether we really are.
I'd like to show you images of sister brother
Standing off from one another but not very far.

Down, down in Hollywood town,
The lost and found come to find their way,
Walking outside, feelings they hide,
Putting their pride through well known paces,
Stepping on stars and shining on cars,
Passing by, their heads are high,
But their hearts are low down,
Dragging as they go,
Reaching out to those other faces.

Down, down in Hollywood town,
The good time sounds are heard all day,
But the night time's coming, you're on your own,
Looking for a place someone to share with,
Waiting in queues to hear the blues,
To find a way from the emptiness,
To be found inside of those who try,
To climb to the image of the TV good guy.

Down, down in Hollywood town,
The lost and found come to find their way,
Walking outside, feelings they hide,
Putting their pride through well known paces,
Stepping on stars and shining on cars,
Passing by, their heads are high... [fading]


4. 'BELLE' OF THE EARTH

The road is empty,
The subway lies ahead,
There is no music all the sounds have gone dead.
The day is misty,
There's no life around,
'Cause there's something wrong in this town.

Out in the distance,
There's a simple sound,
It comes, it grows.
Bell of the earth,
Ringing like a tambourine,
Calling right out of the silent places,
Calling to me from the empty spaces.
Core of the earth,
Singing like a violin,
Calling right out of the silent places,
Calling me.

Out on the freeway, silence abounds.
The crowded highway is making no sound,
The limo driver, he endlessly waits,
For the long drive across the golden state.

Out in the distance,
There's a simple sound,
It comes, it grows.
Bell of the earth,
Ringing like a tambourine,
Calling right out of the silent places,
Calling to me from the empty spaces.
Core of the earth,
Singing like a violin,
Calling right out of the silent places,
Calling me.


5. PLATFORM END

(Instrumental)


6. ANGELS AT MY GATE

There's a finger on the dial,
The lucky wheel goes round,
Little joker knows he can't escape.
The same time every year,
The fun fair's back in town,
Numbers in the air like ticker tape.

58, 56, 54,
Good angels at my door.
63, 62, 61, 60, 59, 58,
Good angels at my gate.

Throw a seven down,
Place another bet,
The joker laughs as the stakes get higher.
The gambler and the clown,
Without a safety net,
Balancing unsteady on a wire.

58, 56, 54,
Good angels at my door.
63, 62, 61, 60, 59, 58,
Good angels at my gate.

There's a finger on the dial,
The lucky wheel goes round,
Little joker knows he can't escape.
The same time every year,
The fun fair's back in town,
Numbers in the air like ticker tape.

58, 56, 54,
Good angels at my door.
63, 62, 61, 60, 59, 58,
Good angels at my gate.
59, 58, 57, 56, 55, 54,
Good angels at my door.
63, 62, 61, 60, 59, 58,
Good angels at my gate.
59, 58, 57, 56, 55, 54, [fading]


7. YOU ARE - I AM

You are, you are,
You are the moment Martha's madman came out of darkness,
You are the eyeglass of the nearly, nearly blind,
You are the footprint in the sand of Easter island,
You are the fusion in the furnace of the sun.

I am the captain cried across the lonely sea,
I am and I'll be what I'll be,
I am the soldier sang across the lonely field,
I am and I'll do whatever I feel.

You are the time between solar fire and the silence,
You are the last chord in the symphony of the lost,
You are the sign between the high road and the low road,
You are the pen in the moving hand of time.

You are the last post played by the Alamo soldier,
You are a spaceman at the very edge of time,
You are the single shaft of sunlight in the night time,
You are the coolness in the very heat of the fire.

You are the moment Martha's madman came out of darkness,
You are the eyeglass of the nearly, nearly blind,
You are, you are


8. WAITING FOR THE RAIN

Waiting for the rain,
Waiting for the rain,

You told me you were gonna make it,
You told me you were gonna win,
And I believed it was true,
Yes I believed, I believed in you.

There you go running through the alleys,
Can't you see you're waiting for the rain,
Look at you now wondering what you could be,
You've had all the hard luck you can handle,
Can't you see you're slipping down again.

And I believed it was true,
Yes I believed, I believed in you.

There you go, you're running through the fire,
Can't you see you're near the danger zone,
Look at you now, hiding from the sunshine,
You've had all the hard luck you can handle,
Can't you see you're slipping down again.

You deserve the sunshine and not the rain,
You deserve the rainbow, you've had enough pain,
I wanna see you win and get it all,
Hey, I never wanna see you fall.

Can't you see you're waiting for the rain,
Can't you see...

Waiting for the rain...
Waiting for the rain...
Waiting for the rain...


9. RESURRECTION

Jesus Christ you've come out of hiding,
Just sign on the dotted line, I'll see you're OK
I'll say to you expenses are high,
Seeing you've made it before I'll take 20% and no more
(Gross)

Oh, tell me Lord did you happen to bring with you,
A saleable piece of the cross,
Crown of thorns,
A disciple or two.

We'll sell them Jesus hats, Jesus socks, Jesus coats,
We'll sue the Pope,
Jesus shoes,
Jesus dirty books too,
I wonder what will Billy Graham do.

Let me say how much I respect your wish,
To feed the multitude with 5 loaves and a fish,
But I'm sure you'll see by going on the road with me,
Will make the needy pay,
There's more money that way.

We'll sell them Jesus hats, Jesus socks, Jesus coats,
We'll sue the Pope,
Jesus shoes,
Jesus dirty books too,
I wonder what will Billy Graham do.
