SONG: You Pay Your Money And You Take Your Chance (4:19) Woman cry -- chase man down street crying "No Chuckie, no, please don't" Another girl comes they run along St. Andrew, turn south on Kensington Meanwhile Chuckie beats it down the alley by the chicken packer's By the time I reach the corner they've all vanished Just a deaf kid talking like Popeye to a large fleshy laughing man in a blue shirt You pay your money and you take your chance When you're dealing with love and romance Down the alley past the fire escape a woman is talking on the telephone Kitchen light spills out, laughter riding on its beam In the maze of moebius streets we're trying to amuse ourselves to death Under the deep sky that's squatting so close over us tonight You'd think it was trying to hatch us The numb and confused The battered and bruised The counters of cost And the star-crossed You pay your money and you take your chance When you're dealing with love and romance Confused and solo in the spawning ground i watch the confusion of friends all numb with love Moving like stray dogs to the anthem of night-long conversations, of pulsing rhythms and random voltage voices In spite of themselves, graceful as these raindrops creeping spermlike across the car window Stay or leave, give or withold, hesitate or leap Each step splashing sparks of red pain in every direction And through it all, somehow, this willingness that asks no questions You pay your money and you take your chance When you're dealing with love and romance. SONG: The Strong One (6:03) Isn't it hard To be the one who has to give advice? Isn't it hard To be the strong one? I see the skyline blurred through the plastic on your back screen door Not unlike the faces of the people who keep turning up in the places we go The ones we'd never see if things weren't going so well When I was a torn jacket hanging on the barbed wire You cut me free And sewed me up and here I am Isn't it hard To be the one whose phone rings all day everyday? Isn't it hard To be the strong one? Mouths move without vision -- without regard for consequences Eyes fill with memories poisoned by intimate knowledge of failure to love Sometimes, sometimes, doesn't the light seem to move so far away? You help your sisters, you help your old lovers, you help me but who do you cry to? Cause isn't it hard To be the one who gathers everybody's tears? Isn't it hard To be the strong one? SONG: All's Quiet On the Inner City Front (5:27) blue billboard on the roof next door makes a square of light on the kitchen floor smokes rises from a cigarette there's a dull glisten where the table's wet soft breath rises from the bed a thousand question marks over my head turn on the tube but there's nothing new the usual panic in red, white and blue "military advisors" marching in the square knife-sharp trouser creases slicing air private armies on suburban lawns shoulders braced against the tidal dawn all's quiet on the inner city front i don't know why i should but i feel content bell in the fire station tower rings out the measure of the racing hours i slip through the door to the roof outside to gaze at the sign hanging in the sky that sailor on the billboard looks so self-possessed doesn't have a thing to forgive or forget all's quiet on the inner city front. SONG: Radio Shoes (4:16) (Instrumental) SONG: Wanna Go Walking (2:53) neon flame on the window of an upstairs room helicopter beats across the face of the moon got a hunger that sprawls like this galaxy want to wrap my arms around you -- draw you right inside me i want to go walking with you Judy through the movie of the world no matter what i do i feel your presence everywhere i'll be just standing around and your scent comes at me out of nowhere i see your face on the wall -- in the magazine too next thing you know the billboard out my window will be you i want to go walking with you Judy through the movie of the world today was a dog licking crap in the gutter of the street tonight is a dancer oscillating on weightless feet so the fortune teller said you wouldn't end up with me last i heard only God gets to say what has to be i want to walking with you Judy through the movie of the world. SONG: And We Dance (4:45) Midnight flight Fullmoon light Laughter in the air It's a party all right Slate-blue clouds Iridescent sea I'm heading for you And you're headed for me and we dance and we dance and we dance... Down there in the realm of power Somebody's manicured hands Play the Ace of Influence Against the Jack of Demands I reach of the deck -- Draw the seven of hearts -- Doesn't mean the world But it's a better place to start and we dance and we dance and we dance... Paradox and contrast Variety and change History repeats But it's never the same We've got this time We've got this rhythm Till the whole thing comes apart Like light through a prism and we dance and we dance and we dance... SONG: Justice (4:49) What's been done in the name of Jesus What's been done in the name of Buddha What's been done in the name of Islam What's been done in the name of man What's been done in the name of liberation And in the name of civilization And in the name of race And in the name of peace! everybody loves to see justice done on somebody else Can you tell me how much bleeding It takes to fill a word with meaning And how much, how much death It takes to gave a slogan breath And how much, how much, how much flame Gives light to a name For the hollow darkness In which nations dress? everybody loves to see justice done on somebody else Everybody's seen the things they've seen We all have to live with what we've been When they say charity begins at home They're not just talking about a toilet and a telephone Got to search the silence of the soul's wild places For a voice that can cross the spaces These definitions that we love create -- These names for heaven, hero, tribe and state everybody loves to see justice done on somebody else SONG: Broken Wheel (4:39) Way out on the rim of the galaxy The gifts of the Lord lie torn Into whose charge the gifts were given Have made it a curse for so many to be born This is my trouble -- These were my fathers So how am I supposed to feel? Way out on the rim of the broken wheel Water of life is going to flow again Changed from the blood of heroes and knaves The word mercy's going to have a new meaning When we are judged by the children of our slaves No adult of sound mind Can be an innocent bystander Trial comes before truth's revealed Out here on the rim of the broken wheel You and me -- we are the break in the broken wheel Bleeding wound that will not heal Lord, spit on our eyes so we can see How to wake up from this tragedy Way out on the rim of the broken wheel Bleeding wound that will not heal Trial comes before truth's revealed So how am I supposed to feel? This is my trouble -- Can't be an innocent bystander In a world of pain and fire and steel Way out on the rim of the broken wheel SONG: Loner (7:38) (From the album "Mummy Dust") Down at the bus station shark grins and sandpaper conversation men's faces women's bodies on the magazine stand and a headline about Sarajevo and Tehran They are radiant angels, they are earthly slaves they are predators moving in their endless days days of striving, nights of novocaine never going to bring them freedom from their pain i'm a loner with a loner's point of view i'm a loner and now i'm in love with you Wild shadows, acid verbs eyelids opening dans mon coeur tu me touche comme la pression des etoiles sur les tenebres In the elevator and the empty hall how'm i ever going to hear you when you call I'm always living and i always die on the event horizon of your eyes i'm a loner with a loner's point of view i'm a loner and now i'm in love with you
