It doesn’t matter if you’re black or white
Or the god that you choose to pray to
It doesn’t matter about the clothes you wear
Or which creator made you
We all bleed the same blood
We all need the same love
And when we die there’s no heaven above
It’s Universal
It’s Universal
It doesn’t matter who you think you are
You’re living and you know you feel it
It’s not important as to why we’re here
You know there is no reason
We all bleed the same blood
We all need the same love
And when we die there’s no heaven above
It’s Universal
It’s Universal
It’s Universal
It’s Universal
We all bleed the same blood
We all need the same love
And when we die there’s no heaven above
It’s Universal
It’s Universal

ALLUMFASSEND
Es
spielt keine Rolle ob du schwarz oder weiß bist
Oder welchen
Gott du zum Anbeten bevorzugst
Es spielt keine Rolle welche Kleider
du trägst
Oder welcher Schöpfer dich erschaffen hat
Wir
alle vergießen das gleiche Blut
Wir alle brauchen die gleiche
Liebe
Und wenn wir sterben gibt es keinen Himmel da oben
Es
ist Allumfassend
Es ist Allumfassend
Es spielt keine Rolle
wer du glaubst zu sein
Du liebst und du weißt, du kannst es fühlen
Es
ist nicht wichtig warum wir hier sind
Du weißt, es gibt keinen
Grund
Wir alle vergießen das gleiche Blut
Wir alle brauchen
die gleiche Liebe
Und wenn wir sterben gibt es keinen Himmel
da oben
Es ist Allumfassend
Es ist Allumfassend
Es
ist Allumfassend
Es ist Allumfassend
Wir alle vergießen

WALKING ON THE MILKY WAY
Musik
& Text: McCluskey / Ipinson / Small
published by EMI/Virgin
Music Publishing Ltd.
When I was only seventeen
My head was full of brilliant dreams
My heart would call and I would gladly go
At twenty one the world was mine
And I was yours and you’re divine
And nothing else would matter to us so
I don’t believe in destiny
I don’t believe in love
I don’t believe that anything
Will ever be enough
Man you should have seen us
On the way to Venus
Walking on the milky way
It was quite a day hey hey..
Walking on the big stuff
Acting like we’re real tough
Baby we were on our way
So what do you say hey hey
As time goes by
Reality
destroys your hope and dignity
There’s nothing left but writing on the wall
But just remember who you are
And where you’ve been you’ve come so far
And never ever let them see you fall
I don’t believe in miracles
I don’t believe in truth
I don’t believe that anything can
Recreate your youth
Man you should have seen us
On the way to Venus
Walking on the milky way
It was quite a day hey hey..
Walking on the big stuff
Acting like we’re real tough
Baby we were on our way
So what do you say hey hey
Man you should have seen us
On the way to Venus
Walking on the milky way
It was quite a day hey hey..
Walking on the big stuff
Acting like we’re real tough
Baby we were on our way
So what do you say hey hey
AUF
DER MILCHSTRASSE SPAZIEREN
Als
ich gerade mal siebzehn war
War mein Kopf voll von brillianten
Träumen
Mein Herz brauchte nur zu rufen und ich folgte ihm glücklich
Als
ich einundzwanzig war gehörte mir die Welt
Und ich gehörte dir
und du bist so göttlich
Und nichts auf der Welt konnte uns etwas
anhaben
Ich glaube nicht an das Schicksal
Ich glaube nicht
an die Liebe
Ich glaube nicht das irgendetwas
Immer genug
sein kann
Mann, du solltest uns sehen
Auf dem Weg zur
Venus
Auf der Milchstraße spazieren
Es braucht gerade mal
ein Tag, hey, hey
Auf dem großen Zeug spazieren
Handeln als
wären wir wirklich hart
Baby, wir sind auf unserem Weg
Nun,
was sagst du, hey, hey
Als die Zeit verstrich
Zerstörte
die Realität deine Hoffnungen und Würde
Es blieb nichts zurück
als Gekritzel an der Wand
Aber denke immer daran wer du bist
Und
wo du bist, so weit gereist
Und lasse sie dich nie und nimmer
zu Boden gehen sehen
Ich glaube nicht an Wunder
Ich glaube
nicht an die Wahrheit
Ich glaube nicht das irgendetwas jemals
Deine
Jugend zurückbringen kann
Mann, du solltest uns sehen
Auf
dem Weg zur Venus
Auf der Milchstraße spazieren
Es braucht
gerade mal ein Tag, hey, hey
Auf dem großen Zeug spazieren
Handeln
als wären wir wirklich hart
Baby, wir sind auf unserem Weg
Nun,
was sagst du, hey, hey
Mann, du solltest uns sehen
Auf
dem Weg zur Venus
Auf der Milchstraße spazieren
Es braucht

THE MOON
AND THE SUN

& Text: McCluskey / Bartos

Publishing Ltd. / Positive Songs / Warner Chappell Music Ltd.
The Autumn leaves were falling
As we raced against the sun
And all but friends stop calling
They assumed the race was run
And no one here can understand
Or reason what we’ve done
We can’t provide the answer
But we can provide the gun
It always looked so easy
When we watched it while we’re young
We always found a reason
To be cheerful having fun
Don’t blame the moon
Don’t blame the sun
Just tell me everything will be done
Don’t blame the stars from up above
Just tell me everything is done for love
The energy of arrogance
Is wasted on the young
The power of all the thoughts
We have is greater than the sum
Don’t believe your brothers
They will break you one by one
Don’t believe your daughters
They will never bear you sons
*Repeat Chorus
IIt always looked so easy
When we watched it while we’re young
We always found a reason
To be cheerful having fun
Don’t blame the moon
Don’t blame the sun
Just tell me everything will be done
Don’t blame the stars from up above
Just tell me everything is done for love

THE BLACK SEA
Musik
& Text: McCluskey / Kershaw
published by EMI/Virgin Music
Publishing Ltd.
On a ship to nowhere
On a dark and tranquil sea
I’m sinking with a cargo
Of the things that cannot be
On the far horizon
The final sunsets fall
And Tuesday becomes Wednesday
Becomes any day at all
Everything we do
Nothing remains true
I am frightened I’m a liar
And I’m tortured by desire
Every single day
In all the simple ways
I am torn apart inside
By the things I’ve tried to hide
Down the dusty roads we go
And down the leafy lanes
And down the long and winding road
The landscape stays the same
Everything we do
Nothing remains true
I am frightened I’m a liar
And I’m tortured by desire
Every single day
In all the simple ways
I am torn apart inside
By the things I’ve tried to hide
Everything we do
Nothing remains true
I am frightened I’m a liar
And I’m tortured by desire
Every single day
In all the simple ways
I am torn apart inside
By the things I’ve tried to hide
DIE
SCHWARZE SEE
Auf einem Schiff nach
nirgendwo
Auf einem dunklen und
ruhigen
Wasser
Versinke ich mit einer
Ladung
von Dingen, die nicht
sein
können
An einem fernen
Horizont
fällt der letzte
Sonnenuntergang
Und Dienstag wird zu
Mittwoch
Wird zu jedem Tag
überhaupt
Alles was wir
tun
nichts bleibt uns
treu
Ich habe Angst, dass ich
ein Lügner
bin
und ich werde von
Verlangen
gequält
Jeden einzelnen
Tag
bei allen einfachen
Dingen
bin ich innerlich
zerissen
Von den Dingen, die ich
versucht habe zu
verstecken
Wir gehen die staubige
Straße
entlang
und die belaubten
Wege
Und entlang der langen,
sich windenden
Straße
ist die Landschaft immer
dieselbe
Alles was wir
tun
nichts bleibt uns
treu
Ich habe Angst, dass ich
ein Lügner
bin
und ich werde von
Verlangen
gequält
Jeden einzelnen
Tag
bei allen einfachen
Dingen
bin ich innerlich
zerissen
Von den Dingen, die ich

VERY CLOSE TO FAR AWAY

Music Ltd. / Telegraph Music / EMI/Virgin Music Publishing Ltd.
I’m very close to far away
And I can’t hear the words you say
So take what you can take what you find
Take it all into your mind
I’m very close to letting go
Even closer than you know
I need what you have need what you give
I need your love to make me live
So talk to me now talk to me slow
Say the words I told you so
I know you don’t believe me
Or all the things I say
But if you’d just receive me
We’re very close to far away
I’m very close to far away
And I can’t hear the words you say
So take what you can
take what you find
Take it all into your mind
I know you don’t believe me
Or all the things I say
But if you’d just receive me
We’re very close to far away
I’m very close to far away
And I can’t hear the words you say
I need what you have need what you give
I need your love to make me live
I’m very close to letting go
Even closer than you know
So take what you can
take what you find
Take it all into your mind

THE GOSPEL OF ST JUDE
Musik
& Text: McCluskey
published by EMI/Virgin Music Publishing
Ltd.
I have walked down this road you call love
It is hard and it’s shallow stony ground
I have built with these hands some great fortune
But my heart still beats a hollow sound
Oh yea, still now my tears remain
With all my dreams embraced
I am told there is peace drawn from wisdom
But no rest only answers have I found
Oh yea, still now my tears remain
With all my dreams embraced
DER
GOSPEL VOM HEILIGEN JUDAS
Diese Straße, die du
Liebe nennst, bin ich entlang
gegangen
Es ist schwer und der
Boden ist aus felsigem
Gestein
Mit diesen Händen habe
ich ein großes Schicksal
geschaffen
Aber mein Herz schlägt
dennoch einen heiligen
Klang
Oh ja, auch jetzt noch
bleiben meine Tränen
mit all meinen Träumen
umarmt
Mir wurde gesagt dass
Frieden aus Weisheit geformt
wird
Aber ohne Pause habe ich
nur Antworten
gefunden
Oh ja, auch jetzt noch
bleiben meine Tränen
mit all meinen Träumen
umarmt

THAT WAS THEN
Musik
& Text: McCluskey
published by EMI/Virgin Music Publishing
Ltd.
I would lie awake and cry at night
But that was then and this is now
I had an anger that was strong enough
And I would face the things I run from now
And everything we did was wonderful
Now its practical and I don’t know
How
all the moves we made were done for love
Now its not enough it seems somehow
And all the feeling that I knew would last
Well they are gone where are they now
And you were beautiful and dangerous
And now you’ve sacrificed some sacred cow
And I would listen to the things you said
They all made sense why don’t they now
Not a penny in our pockets then
We never worried so why do we now
Standing tall against my destiny
Oh I had visions and I could see
I would walk a thousand miles for you
But that was the, that was then
And this ins now, this is now
Look at me now
This is now
Over decades things are changing me
I have no energy where am I now
Too many people seem in need of me
When I was younger I felt so free
Can you see the things I care about
They are not important now time has run out
And only memories are left with me
This shallow history becomes my destiny
I would lie awake and cry all night
That was then this is now
This is now

TOO LATE
Musik
& Text: McCluskey / Kershaw
published by EMI/Virgin Music
Publishing Ltd.
Have you heard about the hollow man?
Too frightened so he turned and ran
Ffrom the vision that he cherished so
Couldn't see it, so he let it go
Everybody has a secret sin
But everybody needs a chance to win
Anyone could see I'm a man that's
Sad and broken by the things I've done
But now I'm sorry that I said goodbye
And I'm sorry cause it's me that's crying
I never finished what I started to
But I'm just so sorry that I'm hurting you
But it's too late for us to just be friends
And too late for anything but the end
And too many dreams fell through our hands
And it's just too late to understand
Now I'll never make a new beginning
And I'll never stop the pain from winning
Nothing matters to me anymore now
I've lost the things I was fighting for
And now I'm sorry that the dreams are gone
And I'm sorry cause I'm not the
one
Who comes running when you need me so
Cause I'm the fool that's let you go
But it's too late for us to just be friends
And too late for anything but the end
And too many dreams fell through our hands
And it's just too late to understand
All the tears of pain are falling down (oh, oh, oh, oh)
All the tears of pain are falling down, and you know...
But it's too late for us to just be friends
And too late for anything but the end
And too many dreams fell through our hands
And it's just too late to understand
But it's too late for us to just be friends
And too late for anything but the end
And too many dreams fell through our hands
And it's just too late to understand
But it's too late...too late...it's too late...

THE BOY FROM THE CHEMIST IS HERE TO SEE YOU
Musik
& Text: McCluskey
published by EMI/Virgin Music Publishing
Ltd.
Every day of every year
You live your life in hope and fear
That each small sin and imperfection
Iis buried deep beyond detection
But one by one the ghosts return
And each selects its place to burn
Into your soft and breaking heart
And this is how the aching starts
The jokes about the ugly kid
The things you said but never did
The people torn and crushed and battered
The ones you broke but should've flattered
Oh, you should have run whilst you had time
Oh, you should have left the past behind
The boy from the chemist is here to see you
The laughing stops cause he's too near you
The girl you left that always loved you
Returns to earth from miles above you now
So wash away the dirty skin
There's always worse remains within.
The tangled web and bitter mesh
But each shall have their pound of flesh
No sympathy, no charity
No false pleas of humility
No money back, no guarantee
No great escape for you and me
Oh, you should have run whilst you had time
Oh, you should have left the past behind
The boy from the chemist is here to see you
The laughing stops cause he's too near you
The girl you left that always loved you
Returns to earth from miles above you now
And everyone that's ever suffered
Friend or foe or wives or lovers
They'll come back to have their day
In time you find your mind has no escape
Don't believe that you can hide
Don't believe they'll be denied
They'll come knocking at your door
This is what they've waited for
The chance to even up the score.
The boy from the chemist is here to see you
The laughing stops cause he's too near you
The girl you left that always loved you
Returns to earth from miles above you now
And everyone that's ever suffered

In time you find your mind has no escape

IF YOU'RE STILL IN LOVE WITH ME

Paul Humphreys Music Ltd. / Telegraph Music / EMI/Virgin Music

First you say you're in love with me
And that it lasts eternally
Then I find that you change your mind
But one and one will not make three
Well, I'm glad to say the distance
Is one thing I never mind
But every thought of leaving
Is the last thing on my mind
So if you're still in love with me
Then why won't you just set me free?
Cause if I'm not in love with you
Then there's no chance to see this through
again
Everything that I've promised you
I tried and tried to make it all come true
But if I break your heart again
Well this time it'll never mend
When I beg for freedom
You only chain me down
With everyday that passes now
The answer can't be found
So if you're still in love with me
Then why won't you just set me free?
Cause if I'm not in love with you
Then there's no chance to see this through
again
All across the nation
People in frustration
There's those who need someone to stay
And those who've got to run away
So if you're still in love with me
Then why won't you just set me free?
Cause if I'm not in love with you
Then there's no chance to see this through
again
So if you're still in love with me
Then why won't you just set me free?
Cause if I'm not in love with you
Then there's no chance to see this through
again

VICTORY WALTZ

Come take me down to your heart of gold
And I will hear your song
Cover me up in your fantasy world
Where I can do you no harm
And hold me now close to you
Fear the thoughts I am sending
Hold me now close again
This dream is almost ending
Come take me down to your victory waltz
And I will break your heart
Gaze once again at the promise we made
That I have torn all apart
And hold me now close to you
As though we're still pretending
Hold me now close again
This dream is almost ending
SIEGESWALZER
Laß mich in dein Herz aus Gold
Und ich höre dein Lied
Schließe mich in deine Phantasie-Welt ein,
wo ich
dich nicht verletzten kann.
Und halt
mich jetzt, eng bei dir.
Fürchte die Gedanken, die sich
sende.
Halte
mich jetzt, wieder eng.
Dieser
Traum ist fast zu ende.
Laß mich in deinen Freiheits - Walzer
Und
ich breche dein Herz.
Blicke noch einmal das
Versprechen an, das wir machten.
Das ich nicht gehalten habe.
Und halt mich jetzt, eng bei dir.
Als ob wir uns immer noch verstellen.
Halte mich
jetzt, wieder eng.
Dieser
Traum ist fast zu ende.
