IV. Under A Blood Red Sky
1. Gloria
I try to sing this song
I... I try to stand up
But I can' t find my feet
I try, I try to speak up
But only in you I'm complete
Gloria... in te domine
Gloria... exultate
Gloria... Gloria
Oh Lord, loosen my lips
I try to sing this song
I... I try to get in
But I can't find the door
The door is open
You're standing there
You let me in
Gloria... in te domine
Gloria... exultate
Oh Lord, if I had anything
Anything at all
I'd give it to you
I'd give it to you
Gloria... Gloria
2. 11 O' Clock Tick Tock
It's so cold outside
It gets so hot in here
And the boys and girls collide
To the music in my ear
Hear the children crying
And I know it's time to go
I hear the children crying
Take me home
A painted face
And I know we haven't long
We thought that we had the answers
It was the questions we had wrong
Hear the children crying
And I know it's time to go
I hear the children crying
Take me home
Sad song, sad song
Sad song, sad song
Sad song, sad song
Sad song, sad song
Call out your name
Call out in shame
Call out your name
Call out
You better call out
Call, call, call out
3. I Will Follow
I will follow...
I was on the outside when you said
You said you needed me
I was looking at myself
I was blind, I could not see
A boy tries hard to be a man
His mother takes him by his hand
If he stops to think he starts to cry
Oh why
If you walkaway, walkaway
I walkaway, walkaway... I will follow
If you walkaway, walkaway
I walkaway, walkaway... I will follow
I was on the inside
When they pulled the four walls down
I was looking through the window
I was lost, I am found
Walkaway, walkaway
I walkaway, walkaway... I will follow
If you walkaway, walkaway
I walkaway, walkaway... I will follow
I will follow
Your eyes make a circle
I see you when I go in there
Your eyes, your eyes...
If you walkaway, walkaway
I walkaway, walkaway... I will follow
If you walkaway, walkaway
I walkaway, walkaway... I will follow
I will follow
I will follow...
4. Party Girl
I know a girl, a girl called Party
Party Girl
I know she wants more than a party
Party Girl
And she won't tell me her name
Oh no, not me
I know a boy, a boy called Trash
Trash Can
I know he does all that he can
Wham Bam
And she won't tell me his name
Oh no, not me
When I was three, I thought the world revolved around me
I was wrong
And so I sing along
And if you dance, then dance with me
I know a girl, a girl called Party
Party Girl
I know she wants more than a party
Party Girl
I know a boy, a boy called Trampoline
You know what I mean
I think I know what he wants
I think I know what he wants
I think I know what you want
I think I know what you want
I think I know what you want
I think I know what you want
I think I know what he wants
5. Sunday Bloody Sunday
I can't believe the news today
I can't close my eyes and make it go away
How long, how long must we sing this song?
How long? Tonight we can be as one
Broken bottles under children's feet
Bodies strewn across a dead end street
But I won't heed the battle call
It puts my back up, puts my back up against the wall
Sunday, bloody Sunday
Sunday, bloody Sunday
And the battle's just begun
There's many lost, but tell me who has won?
The trenches dug within our hearts,
And mother's children, brothers, sisters torn apart
Sunday, bloody Sunday
Sunday, bloody Sunday
How long, how long must we sing this song?
How long? Tonight we can be as one
Tonight, tonight
Sunday, bloody Sunday
Sunday, bloody Sunday
Wipe the tears from your eyes
Wipe your tears away,
Wipe your bloodshot eyes
Sunday, bloody Sunday
Sunday, bloody Sunday
And it's true we are immune
When fact is fiction and TV is reality
And today the millions cry
We eat and drink while tomorrow they die
The real batlle just begun
To claim the victory Jesus won
On a Sunday, bloody Sunday
Sunday, bloody Sunday
6. The Electric Co.
Boy, stupid boy
Don't sit at the table
Until you're able
Toy, broken toy
Shout shout
You're inside out
If you don't know... Electric Co.
If you don't know... Electric Co.
Red, running red
Play for real
They toy could feel
A hole in your head
You go in shock
You're spoon-fed
If you don't know... Electric Co.
If you don't know... Electric Co.
One two three four...
If you don't know... Electric Co.
Just to hear me
I've found my way home
7. New Year's Day
All is quiet on New Year's Day
A world in white gets underway
And I want to be with you
Be with you night and day
Nothing changes on New Year's Day
I will be with you again
I will be with you again
Under a blood-red sky
A crowd has gathered in black and white
Arms entwined, the chosen few
Newspapers say, it says it's true it's true
And we can break through
Though torn in two we can be one
I will begin again
I will begin again
Oh and maybe the time is right
Oh maybe tonight
I will be with you again
I will be with you again
And so we are told this is the golden age
And gold is the reason for the wars we wage
Though I want to be with you
To be with you night and day
Nothing changes on New Year's Day
8. 40
I waited patiently for the Lord
He inclined and heard my cry
He brought me up out of the pit
Out of the mire and clay
I will sing, sing a new song
I will sing, sing a new song
How long to sing this song
How long to sing this song
How long... how long... how long
How long... to sing this song
He set my feet upon a rock
And made my footsteps firm
Many will see
Many will see and fear
I will sing, sing a new song
I will sing, sing a new song
I will sing, sing a new song
I will sing, sing a new song
How long to sing this song
How long to sing this song
How long... how long... how long
How long... to sing this song
