The horizon falls away They escaped out into space Left behind the war And the presidential race They came back before too long And no-one took their place Nearly 40 years ago Gene Cernan left The Moon And with it left our dreams We all woke up too soon The horizon falls away They escaped out into space Left behind the war And the presidential race They came back before too long And no-one took their place

The rain defines the night Another day another life One more chance to change your mind I'll take you back to a different time Never let your hand leave mine And come back home to a love that's fine I wish I had some paper to write you I wish I had your number to call I wish I was your children's father I'm not sure what I wish at all The dog decides the fight Two more dead, but no more right One more way to close your eyes I'll take you 'way from a loveless night Never let your hand leave mine And take you home to a sun that shines I wish I had some paper to write you I wish I had your number to call I wish I was your children's father I'

The pigeons are picking through What's left of the market day Teenage girls sit on the stalls Tryin' to fall from grace And miles away the world is at stake But life goes on in the market place Fathers are coming home To end yet another day Wives and sons get nothing done Except when they lose face And miles away the world is at stake But life goes on in the market place The silence is eerie now In the empty market place all that's left are rubbish heaps and birds that lost the race And miles away the world is at stake But life goes on in the market place

Your time was shorter than mine Death wasn't on your mind You drove away last night and said goodbye to life did it flash before your eyes? Did you walk to a bright light? Did you cry as you slipped away? Did you beg for another day? Don't cry, don't cry Celebrate my life Don't hide, don't hide Ignorance or pride Don't cry, don't cry Our love isn't undermined By where and how you died You drove away last night and said goodbye to life Did you scream or close your eyes? Did you get to question why? Did you hear someone call your name? Did the morphine hide the pain? Don't cry, don't cry Celebrate my life Don't hide, don'

No better way to start the night, Under blue and only 1/8th skies, I feel for the men in rifle sights, a sixth turn ahead with no moonlight, Wait till the time they're out on strikes, and head south-east in the worlds spotlight, To find where the false Mess-i-ah hides, and fight for the west and their own lives. I ran away, I ran away, to hide from the world for just a day, I ran away, I ran away. No better time to start a fight, under stars and only 13 stripes, I feel for the girl in her ripped tights, A brand new widow before sunrise, Wait for the day there's no more cries, head back home in the cold sunlight, find that the w

If it wasn't for the way I'm dressed, and modern day license plates It could be 1985 or at least that's how it feels Graffiti tags and shopping carts, And lamp-post stickers for the Hyde park party when you die Smile coz you don't get the message yet, Smile at the squalor and the shit you left You've never seen the world outside, You've never been to the battle sites, And I hope you die happy If it wasn't for the Argentines, and militant union reps You'd have lost to David Steele Or at least that's what we think, The Northern scum, and midland scabs And the lamp-post stickers for the Hyde park party when you die.

I've walked every inch of this road a million times, and crawled quite a bit of it too, Now the sky looks like snow, part of me wants it blue, Part of me's still with you, I've touched every inch of her ass a million times, and kissed quite a bit of it too, Now her eyes look so green, part of me wants them blue, Part of me still wants you. Right now I'm two minds, I love to be alive, but I feel dead inside, I couldn't give a damn if anybody dies, as long as it's not me. I've loved every hour of this live a million times, and loved quite a bit of it too, Now my horse looks so pale, part of me wants to lose, part of me still lov
