1. If it ain't Worth Fighting for
Temperatur's rising, can't stand the heat
Somebody's callin', making me sweat
Feel you body movin' all over my mind
Cold is the whisper that runs down my spine
CHORUS
If it ain't worth fightin' for
It ain't worth having
And I just gotta have your love
There used to be laughter used to be joy
You were the dancer, I'm the hot blooded boy
Feel the perspiration, now there's provocation
It's a no win situation, but the voice keeps sayin'
CHORUS
If it ain't worth fightin' for
It ain't worth having
And I just gotta have your love
We will be the losers if we let it go
In this reckless gamble, we need one last throw
2. If it ain't Good Enough
Feels like I'm losin'
Feels like I'm losin' my mind
Seems like I'm dreamin'
Things I shouldn't dream tonight
All I got here is a photograph
And I just gotta tell ya
That ain't good enough for me
It ain't good enough for me
You got me breathin' fire
Got me runnin' circles
You got me doin' things
I've never done before
Seems I've made mistakes
Now I'm doin' time for something
You call love but I ain't so sure
All I got here is a photograph
And I just gotta tell ya
That ain't good enough for me
It ain't good enough for me
CHORUS
Well I gave it all my lovin',
All my understanding
Cause that's the way
I thought it should be
It was the nearest thing to heaven
Now it's gone forever
It's time that I see myself free
Cause it ain't good enough for me
3. If there is Heaven
If I stand in the rain
Feeling sorrow and pain
I know you'd stand here
With me and soothe it all away
And when I look in your eyes,
It's then I realize
That this world ain't there for long
So tell me did you ever wonder
If there's someone up above
There's something you should know
CHORUS
If there's a haven,
I'd wait there for you
And if there's a hell darlin'
Well I'd just raise hell for you
And if there's nothing there at all
Don't know what I'd do
Without you, without you
Tell me do you ever wonder
If there's someone up above
There's something you should know
4. Back where I Belong
Fast running river so deep and so cold
Screaming like thunder could take
This burning soul
But would it stop me loving you
Never thouhgt it would last forever
Or be over quite so soon
Caught alone in the dark night
Gotta get it back goota get back to you
I just can't stop loving you
CHORUS
Back where I belong in your arms again
Wishing I was back where I belong
In your arms again
Some nights it's easy I simply forget
Stained sheets and moonlight,
The faded words we said
Will it stop me loving you
Pictures of indifference hand
On walls of borrowed time
I can't wait no longer
Cause you're always on my mind
Still you got me loving you
CHORUS
When I carved your name into my heart
I felt no pain you left your mark, baby
Now I can't stop thinkin'
J ust how good a bad woman feels
It's the nightmare that kills
5. Ceasefire (Instr.)
6. Why Love
Why love, why love, why
Why love, why love, why
If found the road to hell,
And it passes by my window
So many numbed by your magic spell
Like me they tried to find
A way to your door
They cry all night and curse the kiss
That changes love to emptyness forever
CHORUS
Why love, why love, why
I thought we're living as branches
On the same tree
Why love, why love, why
Why take the only thing
That belongs to me
7. Sweet Elyse
Take a little bit of voodoo magic
Just a little won't do much harm
Then follow the scnet of the sweet perfume
To the woman with open arms
Yeah that's sweet Elyse
If heaven ever made a nightmare
When refuge is never found
From the touch of a woman
So obsessed by love
It will run you into the ground
Yeah that's sweet Elyse
CHORUS
Here she comes ringin' the bell
Knockin' at my door
Don't you know sweet Elyse
You must have met her before
See a family man cryin' on his knees
And when you hear the hound dogs howl
That's sweet Elyse
She will turn the night into evermore
Just to dance beneath the stars
There's not a place left
In heaven or hell
To protect you from her charms
Yeah that's sweet Elyse
CHORUS
If heaven ever made a nightmare
Just to dance beneath the stars
Then Elyse is the woman
She's one in a million
She will kill you with her charms
CHORUS
8. The Last Living Tree
For a thousand years they were standing here
Every kind was here, life was everywhere
Within their arms they held many things
Mended broken wings, sang like violins
As time wnet on they grew tall and strong
There for everyone to depend upon
Then the jewellers came to steal their rings
To make splendid things for queens and kings
CHORUS
How many broken hearts sleep through the night
That the eyes of the breaker don't see
And how many children will be lost in the fight
For the life of the last livin' tree
Someone said that life is short
But does that matter to anyone
9. Now you're Gone
Jane is burnin' with angelic fire
Johnny's singing here in freedom's choir
Chasing shadows and causing pain
But we all do it
She gets hurt and he just turns away
Seems relationships are made that way
People talkin' say that's it's a shame
But we all knew it
Thought you'd hurt me for the last time
But it haunts me like an old song
And I hear you sing it all night long
CHORUS
Now you've gone, I can love again,
I can love again
Now you've gone, I can live again
Baby's cryin' got no family name
Johnny's girl she wears the scars of blame
Steals the night to lose the shame
Some got through it
Misty morning fingers blue with cold
Sun is rising over streets of gold
What is life that we should moan
But we all do it
Thought you'd hurt me for the last time
But it haunts me like an old song
And I hear you sing it all night long
CHORUS
Bad love, can bring a man down,
Make him do things he wouldn't ordinarily do,
Your love, can make a man drown but
There's no-one does the things I need you to do
10. India
Everybody loves a pretty woman's smiel
Anyone would wak a million miles
Your mama must have told
some cute little lies
Just to get you those angel eyes
Now I believe in love I see it in your eyes
And everybody knows a look can paralyse
Oh India, India
CHORUS
Oh India I see it in your eyes India
Tonight I'm goona need your love
Tonight you're the one I'm thinkin' of
Tomorrow's too late, baby I just can't wait
Tonight so much time slipped between us
Tonight how could anybody blame us
Life don't slow down
Funny how things come around
11. Angels in the Bed
Hanging up my Gossamer wings, that flew me
Through the night
I lay my weary head down and everything's alright
Then a light shone through my window and my eyes
began to swim
And a shiver ran through my body
As she touched my skin
Then I heard a voice say baby I was sent
Here to rock'n'roll
CHORUS
Then there's an angel in the bed
Movin' like a devil
An angel in the bed
Holding on to every sense and waiting for a sign
She moved just like a whisper and lay
Her wings with mine
Then the light turns down into a glow
And the years just fade away
As she took my body to heaven and left my
Soul to stray
CHORUS
Angel, can't believe I'm seeing there's an
Angel, where's it gonna stop
Angel, tell me tht it's real
If I wait for a minute sure the penny's gonna drop
12. The Road to Galilee (Instr.)
13. Jerusalem
The highway's screamin' callin' out your name
Cause every raod that you travel on
There's a price to pay
A thousand eyes are starin'
But the blind still lead the blind
CHORUS
Where will you turn if it all goes wrong
And you're on the run
Jerusalem?
You say you walked through the valley
You say you've seen the signs
Echoes call you from a distant age
Or is it in your mind
Then a thousand sould rise from the sea
Holding up the sun
And an angel cries 'beware your lies'
It could be the end of it all
CHORUS
Everybody knows your name,
Every road leads to anger
Will it always be the same,
Is there reason to return
CHORUS
When an angel cries - Jerusalem
Better watch your lies - Jerusalem
When an angel cries - Jerusalem
