"A Sort Of Homecoming" lyrics
"A Sort Of Homecoming"
And you know it's time to go
Through the sleet and driving snow
Across the fields of mourning
Lights in the distance
And you hunger for the time
Time to heal, desire time
And your earth moves beneath
Your own dream landscape
Oh, oh, oh
On borderland we run
I'll be there
I'll be there
Tonight, a high road
A high road out from here
The city walls are all gone down
The dust, a smokescreen all around
See faces ploughed like fields that once
Gave no resistance
And we live by the side of the road
On the side of a hill as the valley explode
Dislocated, suffocated
The land grows weary of its own
Oh, some away, oh come away, oh come
Oh come away, say I
Oh come away, oh come away, oh come
Oh come away, say I
Oh, oh, oh
On borderland we run
And still we run
We run and don't look back
I'll be there
I'll be there
Tonight
Tonight
I'll be there tonight
I believe
I'll be there, so high
I'll be there tonight
Tonight
Oh come away and say, you say, oh come
Oh come away, oh, you say
The wind will crack in wintertime
This bomb-blast lightning waltz
No spoken words
Just a scream, yeah
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh
Tonight we'll build a bridge
Across the sea and land
See the sky, the burning rain
She will die and live again
Tonight
And your heart beats so slow
Through the rain and falling snow
Across the fields of mourning
Lights in the distance
Ah, don't sorrow, no, don't weep
For tonight
At last
I am coming home
I am coming home

INXS - "Not Enough Time" And I was lost for words
In your arms
Attempting to make sense
Of my aching heart
If I could just be
Everything and everyone to you
This life would just be so easy
Not enough time for all
That I...
The Stone Roses - "Love Spreads" Love spreads her arms, waits there for the nails
I forgive you boy, I will prevail
Too much to take, some cross to bear
I'm hiding in the trees with a picnic, she's over there
Yeah

The Police - "Synchronicity II" Oh, oh, oh
Another suburban family morning
Grandmother screaming at the wall
We have to shout above
The din of our Rice Krispies
We can't hear anything at all
Mother chants her litany
Of boredom...
Talking Heads - "And She Was" Hey!
And she was lying in the grass
And she could hear the highway breathing
And she could see a nearby factory
She's making sure she is not dreaming
See the lights of a neighbor's house
Now she's...
R.E.M. - "Find The River" Hey now, little speedyhead
The read on the speed-meter says
You have to go to task in the city
Where people drown and people serve
Don't be shy, your just deserts
Is only just light years to go
