I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For

I have climbed the highest mountainsI have run through the fieldsOnly to be with youOnly to be with you.I have run, I have crawledI have scaled these city wallsThese city wallsOnly to be with you.But I still haven't foundWhat I'm looking for.But I still haven't foundWhat I'm looking for.I have kissed honey lipsFelt the healing in her finger tipsIt burned like fire(I was) burning inside her.I have spoke with the tongue of angelsI have held the hand of a devilIt was warm in the nightI was cold as a stone.REF: But I still haven't foundWhat I'm looking for.But I still haven't foundWhat I'm looking for.I believe in the Kingdom ComeThen all the colours will bleed into oneBleed into one. But yes, I'm still running.You broke the bonds, And you loosed the chainsCarried the cross of my shame, Oh my shame, you know I believe it.REF 2 times

City Of Blinding Lights

The more you see the less you knowThe less you find out as you goI knew much more then than I do nowNeon heart dayglo eyes A city lit by firefliesThey’re advertising in the skies For people like usAnd I miss you when you’re not aroundI’m getting ready to leave the ground….Ooh ooh ooh Ooh ooh oohOh you look so beautiful tonight In the city of blinding lightsDon’t look before you laughLook ugly in a photographFlash bulbs purple irisesThe camera can’t seeI’ve seen you walk unafraidI’ve seen you in the clothes you madeCan you see the beauty inside of me?What happened to the beauty I had inside of meAnd I miss you when you’re not aroundI’m getting ready to leave the groundOoh ooh ooh Ooh ooh oohOh you look so beautiful tonight In the city of blinding lightsTime… time Won’t leave me as I am But time won’t take the boy out of this manOh you look so beautiful tonight Oh you look so beautiful tonightOh you look so beautiful tonight In the city of blinding lightsThe more you know the less you feel Some pray for others stealBlessings are not just for the ones who kneel… luckily

Stuck In A Moment You Can't Get Out Of

I'm not afraid of anything in this worldThere's nothing you can throw at me that I haven't already heardI'm just trying to find a decent melodyA song that I can sing in my own companyI never thought you were a fool But darling, look at youYou gotta stand up straight, carry your own weightThese tears are going nowhere, babyREF:You've got to get yourself together,You've got stuck in a moment and now you can't get out of itDon't say that later will be better now you're stuck in a momentAnd you can't get out of itI will not forsake, the colours that you bringBut the nights you filled with fireworksThey left you with nothingI am still enchanted by the light you brought to meI still listen through your ears, and through your eyes I can seeAnd you are such a fool To worry like you doI know it's tough, and you can never get enoughOf what you don't really need now... my oh myREFOh love look at you nowYou've got yourself stuck in a moment and now you can't get out of itI was unconscious, half asleep The water is warm till you discover how deep...I wasn't jumping... for me it was a fall It's a long way down to nothing at allYou've got to get yourself togetherYou've got stuck in a moment and now you can't get out of itDon't say that later will be better now
You're stuck in a moment and you can't get out of itREF 2 x
And if the night runs over, And if the day won't last,

And if our way should falter,

Along the stony pass
It's just a moment This time will pass

Walk On

And love is not the easy thing, The only baggage you can bring...And love is not the easy thing....The only baggage you can bring,Is all that you can't leave behindAnd if the darkness is to keep us apartAnd if the daylight feels like it's a long way offAnd if your glass heart should crackAnd for a second you turn back, Oh no, be strongWalk on, walk on, What you got they can’t steal itNo they can’t even feel it,Walk on, walk on... Stay safe tonightYou're packing a suitcase for a place none of us has beenA place that has to be believed to be seenYou could have flown awayA singing bird in an open cage, Who will only fly, only fly for freedomWalk on, walk on, What you've got they can't deny itCan’t sell it, can’t buy it, Walk on, walk on,Stay safe tonightREF:And I know it aches,And your heart it breaks,And you can only take so muchWalk on, walk onHome… hard to know what it is if you’ve never had oneHome… I can’t say where it is but I know I'm going homeThat's where the hurt isREF
Leave it behind You've got to leave it behindAll that you fashionAll that you makeAll that you buildAll that you breakAll that you measureAll that you stealAll this you can leave behindAll that you reasonAll that you senseAll that you speakAll you dress upAll that you scheme…

New York
In New York freedom looks like too many choicesIn New York

I found a friend to drown out the other voicesVoices on the cell phone,

Voices from homeVoices of the hard sell,

Voices down the stairwellIn New York, just got a place in New York

In New York summers get hot, well into the hundreds

You can’t walk around the block without a change of clothing

Hot as a hairdryer in your face,

Hot as a handbag and a can of maceIn New York,

I just got a place in New York, New York, New York

In New York you can forget, forget how to sit stillTell yourself you will stay in,

But it's down to Alphaville

New York, New York, New York, New York, New York, New York

The Irish have been coming here for years,

Feel like they own the place

They got the airport, city hall, concrete, asphalt, they even got the police

Irish, Italian, Jews and Hispanics, Religious nuts, political fanatics in the stew,

Living happily not like me and you,

That's where I lost you...

NewYork New York, New York, New York, New YorkIn New York

I lost it all to you and your vices

Still I'm staying on to figure out my mid life crisis

I hit an iceberg in my life

But you know I'm still afloat

You lose your balance, lose your wifeIn the queue for the lifeboat

You got to put the women and children first

But you've got an unquenchable thirst for

New YorkNew York, New York, New York, New York

In the stillness of the eveningWhen the sun has had its day

I heard your voice a-whisperingCome away child, New York, New York
