All
I want is you
Do you, don't you
want me to love you?
Coming down fast,
I'm right here above you
Tell me, tell me,
tell me the answer
Ain't no lover
but you ain't no dancer
Helter skelter - helter skelter - helter skelter
Do you, don't you
want me to make you?
Coming down fast,
now don't let me break you
Tell me, tell me,
tell me the answer
Ain't no lover
but you ain't no dancer
Helter skelter - helter skelter - helter skelter
When you get to
the bottom you go back to the top of the slide
And you turn and
you stop and you go for a ride
Then you get to
the bottom, then you see me again
Do you, don't you
want me to love you?
Coming down fast,
I'm right here above you
Tell me, tell me,
tell me the answer
Ain't no lover
but you ain't no dancer
Helter skelter -
helter skelter - helter skelter
Helter skelter
- helter skelter - helter skelter
Hold me now
- oh, hold me now
Till this hour
has gone around
And I'm gone on
the rising tide
For to face Van
Diemen's land
It's a bitter pill
I swallow here
To be rent from
one so dear
We fought for justice,
and not for gain
But the magistrate
sent me away
Now kings will rule
and the poor will toil
And tear their
hands as they tear the soil
But a day will
come in this dawning age
When an honest
man sees an honest wage
Hold me now - oh,
hold me now
Till this hour
has gone around
And I'm gone on
the rising tide
For to face Van
Diemen's land
Lover, I'm off
the street
Gonna go where
the bright lights and the big city meet
With a red guitar,
on fire
Desire
She's the candle
burning in my room
I'm like the needle
- needle and spoon
Over the counter
with a shotgun
Pretty soon everybody
got one
And the fever,
when I'm beside her
Desire, desire
And the fever, getting
higher
Desire, desire
Burning, burning
She's the dollars
- she's my protection
She's the promise
in the year of election
Sister, I can't
let you go
I'm like a preacher
Stealing hearts
at a travelling show
For love or money,
money, money --
And the fever, getting
higher
Desire, desire
--
Like a desert
needs rain
Like a town needs
a name
I need your love
Like a drifter
needs a room
Hawkmoon
I need your love
Like a rhythm unbroken
Like drums in the
night
Like sweet soul
music
Like sunlight
I need your love
Like coming home
And you don't know
where you've been
Like black coffee
Like nicotine
I need your love
- I need your love
When the night has
no end
And the day yet
to begin
As the room spins
around
I need your love
Like a Phoenix rising
Needs a holy tree
Like the sweet
revenge
Of a bitter enemy
I need your love
Like the heat needs
the sun
Like honey on her
tongue
Like the muzzle
of a gun
Like oxygen
I need your love
- I need your love
When the night has
no end
And the day yet
to begin
As the room spins
around
I need your love
- I need your love
Like thunder needs
rain
Like the preacher
needs pain
Like tongues of
flame
Like a sheet stain
I need your love
Like a needle needs
a vein
Like someone to
blame
Like a thought
unchained
Like a runaway
train
I need your love
- I need your love
Like faith needs
a doubt
Like a freeway
out
I need your love
Like powder needs
a spark
Like lies need
the dark
I need your love
There must be some
way out of here
Said the joker
to the thief
There's too much
confusion here
I can't get no
relief
Businessmen they
drink my wine
Ploughmen dig my
earth
None of them along
the line
Know what any of
it is worth
No reason to get
excited
The thief he kindly
spoke,
There are many
here among us
Who feel that life
is but a joke
But you and I,
we've been through that
And that is not
our fate
So let us not talk
falsely now
Because the hour
is getting late
All along the watchtower
Princes kept the
view
While all the women
came and went
Barefoot servants
too
All I've got is
a red guitar
Three chords and
the truth
All I've got is
a red guitar
The rest is up
to you
In the shit
house, a shotgun
Praying hands hold
me down
If only the hunter
was hunted
In this tin-can
town, tin-can town
No stars in the
black night
Looks like the
sky fell down
No sun in the daylight
Looks like it's
chained to the ground
The warden says:
the exit is sold
If you want a way
out - silver and gold
Broken back to the
ceiling
Broken nose to
the floor
I scream at the
silence
That's coming,
coming under the door
There's a rope around
my neck
There's a trigger
in your gun
Jesus say something!
I am someone -
I am someone
Yes, captains and
kings in the slave ships hold
They came to collect
silver and gold
I see the coming
and the going
See the captains
and the kings
See their navy
blue uniforms
See them bright
and shiny things - bright shiny things
The temperature
is rising
The fever white
hot
Mister, I ain't
got nothing
But it's more that
you've got
These chains no
longer bind me
Nor the shackles
at my feet
Outside are the
prisoners
Inside the free
- set them free
A prize fighter
in a corner is told
Hit where it hurts
for silver and gold
Silver and gold
It was a cold
and wet December day
When we touched
down at JFK
Snow was melting
on the ground
On BLS I heard
the sound of a angel
New York like a
Christmas tree
Tonight this city
belongs to me - angel
Soul love - this
love won't let me go
So long - angel
of Harlem
Birdland on fifty-three
The street sounds
like a symphony
We got John Coltrane
and a love supreme
Miles and she has
got to be an angel
Lady Day has got
diamond eyes
She sees the truth
behind the lies - angel
Soul love - this
love won't let me go
So long - angel
of Harlem
Blue light on the
avenue
God knows they
got to you
An empty glass,
the lady sings
Eyes swollen like
a bee sting
Blinded, you lost
your way
On the side streets
and the alleyways
Like a star exploding
in the night
Filling up the
city with broad daylight
An angel in devil's
shoes
Salvation in the
blues
You never looked
like an angel
Yeah, yeah - angel
of Harlem
Angel, angel of
Harlem
Love rescue
me
Come forth and
speak to me
Raise me up and
don't let me fall
No man is my enemy
My own hands imprison
me
Love rescue me
Many strangers have
I met
On the road to
my regret
Many lost who seek
to find themselves in me
They ask me to
reveal
The very thoughts
they would conceal
Love rescue me
And the sun in the
sky
Makes a shadow
of you and I
Stretching out
as the sun sinks in the sea
I'm here without
a name
In the palace of
my shame
Love rescue me
In the cold mirror
of a glass
I see my reflection
pass
I see the dark
shades of what I used to be
I see the purple
of her eyes
The scarlet of
my lies
Love rescue me
Yea though I walk
through the valley of the shadow
Yet I will fear
no evil
I have cursed thy
rod and staff
They no longer
comfort me
Love rescue me
Sha-la-la, sha-la-la
Sha-la-la, sha-la-la
I'm here without
a name
In the palace of
my shame
Love rescue me
I've conquered my
past
The future is here
at last
I stand at the
entrance
To a new world
I can see
The ruins to the
right of me
Will soon have
lost sight of me
Love rescue me
I was a sailor,
I was lost at sea
I was under the
waves before love rescued me
I was a fighter,
I could turn on a thread
But I stand accused
of the things I've said
When love comes
to town I'm gonna jump that train
When love comes
to town I'm gonna catch that flame
Maybe I was wrong
to ever let you down
But I did what
I did before love came to town
I used to make love
under a red sunset
I was making promises
I was soon to forget
She was pale as
the lace of her wedding gown
But I left her
standing before love came to town
I ran into a juke
joint when I heard a guitar scream
The notes were
turning blue as I fell into a dream
As the music played
I saw my life turn around
That was the day
before love came to town
When love comes to town
I was there when
they crucified my Lord
I held the scabbard
when the soldier drew his sword
I threw the dice
when they pierced his side
But I've seen love
conquer the great divide
When love comes to town
See the sun
rise over her skin
Don't change it
See the sun rise
over her skin
Dawn changes everything
And the delta sun
burns bright and violent
Mississippi and
the cotton wool heat
Sixty-six, the
highway speaks
Of deserts dry,
of cool green valleys
Gold and silver
veins - shining cities
In this heartland
- in this heartland
In this heartland
Heaven knows this
is a heartland
See the sun rise
over her skin
She feels like
water in my hand
Freeway like a
river cuts through this land
Into the side of
love like a burning spear
And the poison
rain brings a flood of fear
Through the ghost-ranch
hills, Death Valley waters
In the towers of
steel, belief goes on and on
In this heartland
- in this heartland
In this heartland
Heaven knows this
is a heartland
Heaven knows this
is a heartland
Don't believe
the devil - I don't believe his book
But the truth is
not the same without the lies he made up
I don't believe
in excess - success is to give
I don't believe
in riches but you should see where I live
I - I believe in
love
Don't believe in
forced entry - I don't believe in rape
But every time
she passes by wild thoughts escape
I don't believe
in deathrow, skidrow or the gangs
Don't believe in
the Uzi - just went off in my hand
I - I believe in
love
Don't believe in
cocaine - I got a speedball in my hand
I could cut and
crack you open - did you hear what I said?
Don't believe them
when they tell me there ain't no cure
The rich stay healthy
- the sick stay poor
I - I believe in
love
I don't believe
in Goldman - his type like a curse
Instant karma's
gonna get him if I don't get him first
I don't believe
that rock 'n' roll can really change the world
As it spins in
revolution - spirals and turns
I - I believe in
love
I don't believe
in the 60s - in the golden age of pop
You glorify the
past when the future dries up
I heard a singer
on the radio late last night
Says he's gonna
kick the darkness till it bleeds daylight
I - I believe in
love
I feel like I'm
falling, like I'm spinning on a wheel
It always stops
beside a name - a presence I can feel
I - I believe in
love
So I'm back
in my hotel room
With John Coltrane
and the love supreme
In the next room
I hear some woman scream out
That her lover's
turning off, turning on the television
And I can't tell
the difference between ABC News, Hill Street Blues
And a preacher
on the old time gospel hour
Stealing money
from the sick and the old
Well the God I
believe in isn't short of cash, mister!
I feel a long way
from the hills of San Salvador
Where the sky is
ripped open
And the rain pours
through a gaping wound
Pelting the women
and children
Pelting the women
and children
Who run - who run
into the arms of America
You say you
want diamonds on a ring of gold
You say you want
your story to remain untold
All the promises
we made from the cradle to the grave
When all I want
is you
You say you'll give
me a highway with no-one on it
Treasure just to
look upon it
All the riches
in the night
You say you'll
give me eyes in a moon of blindness
A river in a time
of dryness
A harbour in the
tempest
All the promises
we make from the cradle to the grave
When all I want
is you
You say you want
your love to work out right
To last with me
through the night
You say you want
diamonds on a ring of gold
Your story to remain
untold
Your love not to
grow cold
All the promises
we break from the cradle to the grave
When all I want
is you
All I want is you
- all I want is you
