HOLD YOUR HEAD UP
AAnd if it's bad
Don't let it get you down
You can take it
And if it hurts
Don't let them see you cry
You can make it
Just hold your head up woman
Hold your head up woman
Hold your head up woman
Hold your head high
Hold your head up woman
Hold your head up woman
Hold your head up woman
Hold your head high
And if they stare, just let them
Burn their eyes on you moving
And if they shout, don't let it
Change a thing that you're doing
Hold your head up woman
Hold your head up woman
Hold your head up woman
Hold your head high ...
Hold your head up ...
Hold your head up woman
Hold your head up woman
Hold your head up woman
Hold your head high
And if they stare, just let them
Burn their eyes on you moving
And if they shout, don't let it
Change a thing that you're doing
Hold your head up woman
Hold your head up woman
Hold your head up woman
Hold your head high ...
BLOOD RED ROSES
Heaven's above
What on earth has this come to
What have I done
What can I do now to show you
There's still a chance
If you're ready to make up
It's not too late
'Cause I'm not ready to break up
I try to call
But you don't hear at all
I'm sending roses
I'm sending blood red roses
This burning in my heart
Is tearing me apart
I'm sending roses
I'm sending blood red roses
You've got to understand
That's my heart in your hand
Don't walk away
We can get this heart mended
Or am I the fool
And has this love just ended
I tried to call
But you don't hear at all
I'm sending roses
I'm sending blood red roses
This burning in my heart
Is tearing me apart
I'm sending roses
I'm sending blood red roses
I gotta keep on trying
To stop this love from dying
You've got to understand
That my heart is in your hand
Roses
I'm sending blood red roses
This burning in my heart
Is tearing me apart
I'm sending roses
I'm sending blood red roses
I gotta keep on trying
To stop this love from dying
Roses
I'm sending blood red roses
This burning in my heart
Tears me apart
Roses - blood red roses
You've got to understand
That's my heart in your hand
Roses
I'm sending blood red roses
'Cause this burning in my heart
Tears me apart
Roses - blood red roses
VOICE ON MY TV
It's a familiar voice
Sometimes I wonder if I have a choice
You give it everything
You're selling God
But am I listening
I hear you've seen the light
Your message comes to me by satellite
You say I must believe
I say it's just another way
To deceive
If my salvation has anything to do
With your empty promises
And what you think is true
Well here's my donation
If it's all the same to you
I am the voice on your TV
But I am one and I am free
Always to say what I believe
I know you're only a voice on my TV
The numbers on the screen
Will help me get to heaven
So it would seem
The money flows and flows
And no-one cares enough
To know where it goes
Look at all the millions
That you've taken for a ride
With the warmest words
And the coldest heart inside
And how much longer
Can I listen to your lies
I am the voice on your TV
But I am one and I am free
Always to say what I believe
I know you're only a voice on my TV
What are all the credit card
Believers gonna say
When they hear about the scandals
And the lovers that you pay
And all about the meetings
In your secret hideaway
I am the voice on your TV
But I am one and I am free
Always to say what I believe
You're just a voice on my TV
Your power's strong but I am free
Always to say what I believe
I am the voice on your TV
But I am one and I am free
Always to say what I believe
Can you hear me
I am the voice on your TV
But I am one and I am free
Always to say what I believe
This is your conscience speaking
RICH KID
She's a rich kid
She wears diamond rings
Knows how to walk
Knows everything
About love, she's not too sure
What she's looking for
Fresh from the woods
Out on the street
She's looking good
Looking so neat
She don't know if she should
'Cause she don't know
If she's bad or good
She don't care if it hurts her father
She don't care if it breaks her mother
She don't care anymore
She just wants what
She's never had before
All she wants is love, she's ready
She wants love and she's gonna get it
All she needs is love
She's gotta have it, someone to love
All she wants is love, she's ready
Gotta have love, she'll get it
All she needs is love
She's never had it, someone to love
She was a school boy's dream
High school queen
She had it all when she was sixteen
Stayed away from boys
'Cause she thought she'd get hurt
Why did she listen to
Her mother's words
Couldn't go out, had to stay home
And how she hated being on her own
She needs love like everybody else
Now she's gonna
Get some for herself
She don't care if it hurts her father
She don't care if it breaks her mother
She don't care anymore
She just wants what
She's never had before
All she wants is love, she's ready
She wants love
And she's gonna get it
All she needs is love
She's gotta have it, she needs love
All she wants is love, she's ready
She wants love
And she's gonna get it
All she needs is love
She's gotta have it, someone to love
All she wants is love, she's ready
Gotta have love
She'll get it
All she needs is love
She's never had it, someone to love
All she wants is love, she's ready
She wants love
And she's gonna get it
All she needs is love
She's gotta have it, someone
CRY FREEDOM
She told the story
I listened with my eyes closed
So sad but so true
She whispered softly
I asked her why she did so
She knew that I knew
She was a skater
The ice was her second home
The country's finest
Everyone could see
She had a plan
To break across the border
Instead of waiting for
The powers that be
Cry freedom, sweet freedom
Tell the whole world
To get ready
Cry freedom, sweet freedom
Tell the whole world
That we're ready
She said goodnight
But just as I was leaving
A black car came into view
And waiting there
They could hear me breathing
They knew that I knew
Cry freedom, sweet freedom
Tell the whole world
To get ready
Cry freedom, sweet freedom
Tell the whole world
That we're ready
Insane questions
They asked me what did I know
So strange, they let me go
But more they try
The stronger our love grows
I know that you know
Cry freedom, sweet freedom
Tell the whole world
To get ready
Cry freedom, sweet freedom
Tell the whole world
That we're ready
Cry freedom, sweet freedom ...
BAD BAD MAN
In this supermarket city
Among the native smiles
You have to pay for attention
And do the best you can
There's a raging silence
And it's charged with action
Got no time for weakness
'Cause I'm a bad bad man
Down the streets of darkness
Where they know my name
Lies a force of evil
And a destructive plan
There's no time for questions
When you run into danger
Don't get too close to me
'Cause I'm a bad bad man
I'm working for the L. A. division
To stop the inner city collision
I'm bringing law and order
To the twenty-first century
I don't care for politics
You can keep your point of view
You'd be better off without it
I got my own bad plan
A tough cop has a lonely existence
A reputation of
The highest resistance
A mean runner bringing order
To the twenty-first century
I don't believe in passion
Don't believe in feelings
I take peace from the wicked
Run and hide while you can
I got no time for small talk
Got no time for off-the-wall talk
Don't care who I tread on
'Cause I'm a bad bad man
Bad bad man, I'm a bad bad man
I'm a bad bad man, bad bad man
Bad bad man, bad bad man
Bad bad man, bad bad man
MORE FOOL YOU (More Fool Me)
I held the rope so tightly
As she climbed down from her room
We said we'd make our getaway
Underneath the moon
I always will remember
The night that we left home
And the words of warning
Ringing in my ears
More fool you, more fool me
New job, new friends and a family
In a house on the sunny side
We played on the wheel of fortune
But it was me that took the ride
It didn't work between us
I had to give it all away
And in the end I knew it had to be
More fool you, more fool me ...
If I've told you once
Then I've told you twice
But I'll tell you once again
Now she's taken away most everything
And I've lost my only friend
More fool you, more fool me ...
WHEN THE WAR IS OVER
When the war is over
Got to get away
Pack my bags to
No place in no time no day
You and I, we used
Each other's shoulder
Still so young
But somehow so much older
How can I go home
And not get blown away
Ain't nobody gonna
Steal this heart away ...
When the war is over
Got to start again
Try to hold a trace of
What it was back then
You and I, we shared
Each other's stories
Just a page that's
Lost in all its glory
How can I go home
And not get blown away
You and I had our sights
Set on something
Hope this doesn't mean
Our days are numbered
I've got plans for more
Than a wanted man
All around is chaos and madness
Can't help feeling
Nothing more than sadness
Only choice to face it
The best I can
When the war is over
Got to start again
Try to hold a trace of
What it was back then
You and I, we shared
Each other's stories
Just a page that's
Lost in all its glory
How can I go home
And not get blown away
Ain't nobody gonna
Steal this heart away
And not get blown away ...
Steal this heart away
Ain't nobody gonna
Steal this heart away
LIFELINE
Well I'm not superstitious
But there's something going on inside
Could be friendly, could be vicious
And there isn't any place to hide
It's my imagination, a blessing or a curse
No I can't ignore it for better or for worse
It wakes me when I'm sleeping
A thief that takes my breath away
And I find myself reaching for a lifeline
Throw me a lifeline
And bring me back in time
I need a lifeline, throw me a lifeline
I'm going down for the last time
Sometimes I can't control it
Sometimes it isn't there at all
Sometimes I try to roll it
And wind up staring at the wall
My imagination
I love the games it plays
I get in so deep that I get lost
For days and days
It sometimes leaves me shakin'
Standin' in the dark alone
And I find myself reaching for a lifeline
Throw me a lifeline
And bring me back in time
I need a lifeline, throw me a lifeline
I'm going down for the last time
Can't you see that I'm reaching
And I find myself reaching for a lifeline
Throw me a lifeline
And bring me back, back in time
I need a lifeline, throw me a lifeline
I'm going down for the last time
I need a lifeline, throw me a lifeline
I'm going down, down
Down for the last time
Lifeline, down for the last time
Can't you see that I'm reaching
ROUGH JUSTICE
The gates have opened
Now I'm a free man
My time is over
I need a new plan
But I've had no loving
For a year and a day
My lady's waiting
Got a taste for her wine
She's wearing money
But none of it's mine
She's been surviving
While I've been wasting away
Back in my room
It ain't quite the same
You can't hide it
I'm onto your game
Rough justice, there's no disguise
And I can tell by the look in your eyes
Rough justice, I've had my share
I've done my time
But I'm still running scared
Rough justice coming down on me
Long arm of the law
Never setting me free
Rough justice, I bide my time
Back in action, I'm riding the crest
And putting all that
I've learned to the test
No complications
Taking it day by day
Freedom of movement
Freedom of choice
Free to be right back here
With the boys
Ready to listen
But you've got nothing to say
Back in my room
It ain't quite the same
Just can't help it
I'm part of your game
Rough justice, there's no disguise
And I can tell by the look in your eyes
Rough justice, I've had my share
I've done my time
But I'm still running scared
Rough justice coming down on me
Long arm of the law
Never setting me free
Rough justice, I bide my time
Back in my room
It ain't quite the same
You can't hide it
Just part of your game
Rough justice, there's no disguise
And I can tell by the look in your eyes
Rough justice, I've had my share
I've done my time
But I'm still running scared
Rough justice coming down on me
Long arm of the law
Never setting me free
Rough justice, I bide my time
Rough justice
Rough justice
I've done my time
But I'm still running scared
Rough justice, there's no disguise
And I can tell by the look in your eyes
Rough justice, I've had my share
I've done my time
But I'm still running scared
Rough justice coming down on me
Long arm of the law
Never setting me free
Rough justice, I bide my time

MIRACLE CHILD
She got me to walk on water
I did what she said
She got me to steal the moonlight
Put it over her head
And after I moved the mountain
Which stood in the way
The answer was in the question
She asked me if I wanted to stay
All of my friends said it couldn't last
I'd be another there in her past
But I disagree 'cause
I can't say say no, no, no, no
Save me, she's so hungry
Make a man do anything
I know, she gets hungry
Gets away like an innocent child
Save me, she's so hungry
Has the appetite to everything
I know, she's just hungry
She's got the mind of a miracle child
And when I changed the seasons
And water to wine
I took all the wordly problems
And got the peace in our time
And after I built the temple
She wanted so bad
I took her to altar on Sunday
To look at everything that we had
I could say no, but I always do
Someone outside would be comin' through
And I can't stop her
I can't say no, no, no, no
Save me, she's so hungry
Make a man do anything
I know, she gets hungry
Gets away like an innocent child
Save me, she's so hungry
Has the appetite to everything
I know, she's just hungry
She's got the mind of a miracle child
I could say no, but I always do
Someone outside would be comin' through
And I can't stop her
I can't say no, no, no, no
Save me, she's so hungry
Make a man do anything
I know, she gets hungry
Gets away like an innocent child
Save me, she's so hungry
Has the appetite to everything
I know, she's just hungry
She's got the mind of a miracle child
She's so hungry
She gets hungry
