"Water" lyrics
"Water"
This world is not for me
I'll make a new one, wait and see
Hopelessness has seized the land
I will not beg, I will demand
I will not give up
And one day soon
The truth will spill
Into your sitting room
Water, water, water
To drink, to put down the fire
Water, water, water
The truth, to shame the liar
This world is not what it seems
Behind these eyes, the curse of dreams
Will your God forgive you, then?
Or will mine take his revenge?
Water, water, water
To drink, to put down the fire
Water, water, water
The truth, to shame the liar
Water, water, water
To drink, to put down the fire
Water, water, water
Like these teardrops from my eyes
The enemy does not know who the enemy is
Water, water, water
To drink, to put down the fire
Water, water, water
The truth, to shame the liar
Water, water, water
To drink, to put down the fire
Water, water, water
Like these teardrops from my eyes
The truth, to shame the liar
The enemy does not know who the enemy is
Water, water, water
Water, water, water
Water, water, water

The fun fair's back in town,
Numbers in the air like ticker tape.

The Moody Blues - "The Night" Nights in white satin,
Never reaching the end,
Letters I've written,
Never meaning to send.
Beauty I'd always missed
With these eyes before,
Just what the truth is

Mott The Hoople - "All The Way From Memphis" Forgot my six-string razor - hit the sky
Half way to Memphis 'fore I realised
Well I rang the information - my axe was cold
They said she rides the train to Oreoles
Now its a mighty long way down...
Grand Funk Railroad - "Inside Looking Out" I'm sitting here lonely like a broken man.
I serve my time doin' the best I can.
Walls and bars they surround me.
But, I don't want no sympathy.
No baby, no baby,
All I need is some tender lovin'....
Eric Clapton - "I Shot The Sheriff" I shot the sheriff, but I did not shoot the deputy
I shot the sheriff, but I did not shoot the deputy
All around in my home town
They're trying to track me down
They say they want to bring me in...
