Into the Fire lyrics

Woke up lyin' on the floor
Can't recall the night before
Oh - another day

Outside it's cold and damp
unemployment cheque is spent
Yeah - another day

Some people never know
you can't just let it go
or try to work it out some other way

some people never learn
my life ain't there concern
And nothin's gonna change come what may

Had a job but it fell through
landlord says the rent is due

Some other time
Some other place
We might not of bin here
Standin' face to face

I just wanna tell ya
Made up my mind
You know I can't help the way I feel inside

Oh this heart's on fire
Right from the start it's bin burnin' for you
Oh this heart's on fire
One thing honey - this heart's true

The streets are empty
The lights are down
Ain't nothin' movin'
This side of town

So come on over

I was caught in the crossfire of a silent scream
Where one man's nightmare is another man's dream
Pull the covers up high and pray for the mornin' light
Better leave it alone in the heat of the night
Met a man with a message from the other side
Couldn't take the pressure - had to leave it behind
He said it's up to you
You can run or you can fight - (ya that's right)

When i was younger
my life was torn asunder
and i was carried far away

now somewhere in the distance
i feel a strange resistence
I long to be there once again

the day is drawing nearer
the time has come to leave here
the feeling just keeps gettin' stronger every day

So i pray for the moment when I'll be with you
and all that we hoped for is all comin' true

Life - as thin as a thread
Sometimes you're lucky
Sometimes you're better off dead

Your first breath is taken and into the world you are cast
You long for tomorrow while living each day as your last

Well I know what your heart desires
But you can't take it with you
Into the fire

Now you've done all you can
Your life's at the crossroads
You watch as it slips through your hands

I've seen many moons through these wrinkled eyes
The years have made me old but they've made me wise
Now the white man lives where our rivers run

For now better days have passed
We walk the streets of broken glass
Our people vanished as snow before the summer sun

Like dogs we were driven from this place
such injustice, time will not erase
All these changes cannot be undone

When the pressure's on and you're all alone
Take a little ride into the danger zone
When the moon is up and the skies are clear
Just show me a sign and we'll be outa here
Take me up on a wing and a prayer
If you need a friend you know I'll be there

Hound dogs howlin' all through the night
Eight miles high and I'm doin' alright
Better move over 'cause you're goin' too slow

Rebel

He made his way back to the old town
And everything looked just the same
The shops and the schools and the factories were there
But somehow the faces had changed

So he went for a walk in the high street
Took his coat off and rolled up his sleeves
He thought of his father and his father before him
And how he was the first one to leave

Well he didn't come here for forgiveness

Remembrance Day

For our King and our country and the promise of glory
We came from Kingston and Brighton to fight on the front line

Just lads from the farms and boys from the cities
Not meant to be soldiers we lay in the trenches

We'd face the fighting with a smile - or so we said
If only we had known what danger lay ahead

The sky turned to grey as we went into battle

Livin' on your own can be a lonely game
A face in the crowd - no one nows your name
It's a table for one and a broken heart to go

She's the kind of lover that you always dreamed
would come to stay and never leave
But that's all changed - She's dealt the final blow

Heaven knows what you where thinking of
Don't blame yourself you're just a victim of love

It doesn't matter who was right or wrong
