I, I will be King And you, you will be Queen Though nothing will drive them away We can beat them, just for one day We can be heroes, just for one day And you, you can be mean And I, I'll drink all the time 'Cause we're lovers, and that is a fact Yes we're lovers, and that is that Though nothing, will keep us together We could steal time, just for one day We can be heroes, for ever and ever What d'you say? I, I wish you could swim Like the dolphins, like dolphins can swim Though nothing, nothing will keep us together We can beat them, for ever and ever Oh, we can be heroes just for one day I, I will be King And you, you will be Queen Though nothing will drive us away We can be heroes, just for one day We can be us, just for one day I, I can remember (I remember) Standing, by the wall (by the wall) And the guns, shot above our heads (over our heads) And we kissed, as though nothing could fall (nothing could fall) And the shame, was on the other side Oh, we can beat them, for ever and ever Then we could be heroes, just for one day We can be heroes We can be heroes We can be heroes Just for one day We can be heroes We're nothing, and nothing will help us Maybe we're lying Then you better not stay But we could be safer, just for one day Oh-oh-oh-ohh, oh-oh-oh-ohh, just for one day

Bye-bye shadowlands The term is over And all the holidays have begun Now she walks in fresh fields Her tracks are on the land She is everywhere and no place When it's dark and evening falls She moves among men They would seek to have her as a prize But she is in the shadows The ocean and the sand She is everywhere and no place Her church not made with hands Not contained by man She is dancing high as clouds Faster than the arrow As straight as any crows that flies Accross great seas she travels Up through rising lands She is everywhere and no place Her church not made with hands Not contained by man Isn't that a pretty sun Setting in a pretty sky? Will we stay and watch it darken? Will we stay and watch it darken? The church not made by hands Not contained by man That precious place Unmade by man

I've nothing much to offer There's nothing much to take I'm an absolute beginner And I'm absolutely sane As long as we're together The rest can go to hell I absolutely love you But we're absolute beginners With eyes completely open But nervous all the same If our love song Could fly over mountains Could laugh at the ocean Just like the films There's no reason To feel all the hard times To lay down the hard lines It's absolutely true Nothing much could happen Nothing we can't shake Oh we're absolute beginners With nothing much at stake As long as you're still smiling There's nothing more I need I absolutely love you But we're absolute beginners But if my love is your love We're certain to succeed If our love song Could fly over mountains Sail over heartaches Just like the films If there's reason To feel all the hard times To lay down the hard lines It's absolutely true

Why did you try to hurt me? I got to know Did you really want to kill me Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why Why do we have to fight? Why must we fight? I have to defend myself From attack last night I know I am black You know you are white I'm proud of my black skin And you are proud of your white, so Why did you try to hurt me? Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why Did you really want to kill me Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why We don't need no British Movement Nor the Ku Klux Klan Nor the National Front It makes me an angry man I just want to live in peace Why can't you be the same? Why should I live in fear? This fussing and fighting's insane With a Nazi salute and a steel capped boot A Nazi salute and a steel capped boot You follow like sheep inna wolf clothes You follow like sheep inna wolf clothes We chase you out the dance hall, We chase you through the door We chase you out the dance hall, We chase you through the door Cos' we can't take no more of this at all Cos' we can't take no more of this at all With a Nazi salute and a steel capped boot Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why You follow like sheep inna wolf clothes Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why You're too scared to make a speech during the light Without a thousand police protecting your rights To threaten and abuse, incite or fight But who will protect me from you in the night? Why did you try to hurt me? Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why Did you really want to kill me Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why With a Nazi salute and a steel capped boot Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why You follow like sheep inna wolf clothes Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why
