To The Faithful Departed Hollywood
               I've got a picture in my head (in my head)

               You'll always be there when I call (when I call)
               You'll always be there most of all. (all, all, all)

               I've got a picture in my room, (in my room)
               I will return there I presume. (should be soon)
               The greatest irony of all, (shoot the wall)
               It's not so glamorous at all (all, all, all)

Salvation
To all those people doing lines, don't do it, don't do it.
Inject your soul with liberty, it's free, it's free.

               To all the kids with heroin eyes *, don't do it, don't do it.
               Because it's not, not what it seems.
               No, no it's not, not what it seems
               Salvation, salvation, salvation is free. (2x)

To all those parents with sleepless nights, (sleepless nights)
Tie your kids on to their beds, clear their heads.

               To all the kids with heroin eyes *, don't do it, don't do it.
               Because it's not, not what it seems.

               Salvation, salvation, salvation is free. (4x).

When You're Gone
               Hold on to love. That is what I do,
               Now that I've found you.
               And from above, everything's stinking,
               Their not around you.

               And in the night, I could be helpless
               I could be lonely, sleeping without you.
               And in the day, everything's complex
               There's nothing simple, when I'm not around you.

               But, I miss you when you're gone.
               That is what I do, Bay, Bay, Bay
               And it's going to carry on,
               That is what I knew, Bay, Bay, Bay

               Hold on to my hand,
               I feel I'm sinking, sinking without you.
               And to my mind, everything's stinking
               Stinking without you.

               And in the night, I could be helpless,
               I could be lonely, sleeping without you.
               And in the day, everything's complex,
               There's nothing simple, when I'm not around you.

               And I miss you when you're gone.
               That is what I do, Bay, Bay, Bay
               And it's going to carry on,
               That is what I do, Bay, Bay, Bay

Free To Decide
               It's not worth anything more than this at all
               I live as I choose or I will not live at all.
               So return to where you've come from.
               Return to where you dwell.
               Because harassments not my forte,
               But you do it very well.

               I'm Free To Decide, I'm Free To Decide
               And I'm not so suicidal after all. (2x)
                (At all, at all, at all)

               You must have nothing more with your time to do.
               There's a war in Russia and Sarejevo, too.
               So to hell with want your thinking.
               And to hell with your narrow of mind.
               You're so distracted from the real thing.
               You should leave your life behind. (behind)

               I'm Free To Decide, I'm Free To Decide
               And I'm not so suicidal after all. (3x)
               At all, At all, At all!

War Child
               Who will save the War Child baby?
               Who controls the keys?
               The web we weave is thick and sordid.
               Fine by me.

               At times of war.
               We're all the losers,
               There's no victory.
               We'll shoot to kill, and kill your lover.
               Fine by me.

               War Child!
               Victim of political Pride.
               Plant the seed, territorial Greed.
               Mind, the War Child.
               We should mind, the War Child.

               I spent last winter in New York,
               And came upon a man.
               He was sleeping on the streets and homeless,
               He said, "I fought in Vietnam."

               Beneath his shirt he wore the mark,
               He bore the mark of Pride.
               A two-inch deep incision carved,
               Into his side.

               War Child!
               Victim of political Pride.
               Plant the seed, territorial Greed.
               Mind, the War Child.
               We should mind, the War Child.

               Whose the loser now, eh?
               We're all the losers now! (whole verse 2x)
               War Child, War Child

Forever Yellow Skies
               Yellow Skies, I can see the Yellow Skies.
               See you again, I see you again
               In my dreams, in my dreams, in my dreams, in my dreams.

               Morning light, I remember morning light.
               Outside my doors, I 'll see you no more.
               In my dreams, in my dreams, in my dreams, in my dreams

           * Forever, Forever I'll be forever holding you.

               So black and white,
               It's become so black and white.
               So insecure, You're so insecure,
               That's what you are, That's what you are, (2x)

               Repeat *
               Forever, Forever I'll be forever holding you. (2x)

The Rebels
               Seems like yesterday we were sixteen,
               We were The Rebels of the Rebel Scene.
               We wore Doc Martens in the sun,
               Drinking vintage cider having fun.
               We were, drinking vintage cider having fun.

* It wasn't often, that we'd fight at all! It wasn't often!
It wasn't often, that we'd fight at all! It wasn't often!

               We wore Doc Martens in the snow,
               Paint our toenails black and let our hair grow.
               What I am now is what I was then,
               I am not more acceptable then them. (2x)

               Repeat *
               It wasn't often, It wasn't often, (3x)

               Seems like yesterday we were sixteen,
               We were The Rebels of the Rebel Scene.

I Just Shot John Lennon
               It was the fearful night of December 8th,
               He was returning home from the studio, late.
               He had perceptively known that it wouldn't be nice.
               Because in 1980, he paid the price.

John Lennon died, John Lennon died, John Lennon died!
John Lennon died, John Lennon died, John Lennon died!

               With a Smith & Wesson, 38
               John Lennon's life was no longer a debate.
               He should have stayed at home, he should have never cared.
               And the man who took his life declared, he said,

         *    "I Just Shot John Lennon!"
               He said, "I Just Shot John Lennon!"
               What a sad and sorry and sickening sight.
               What a sad and sorry and sickening night,

# What a sad and sorry and sickening sight,
What a sad and sorry and sickening night!

Electric Blue
               Electric blue eyes, where did you come from?
               Electric blue eyes, who sent you?
               Electric blue eyes, always be near me.
               Electric blue eyes, I need you.

         *    Domine, Domine, Deus,
               Domine, Adiuva Me,
               Domine, Domine, Deus,
               Domine, Adiuva Me,
               Hey, eh, hey, eh

               You should know, You should know I love you
               You should know, You should know I'm here.
               Always be near me, guardian angel,
               Always be near me, there's no fear.

I'm Still Remembering
               I'm still remembering the day
               I gave my life away.
               I'm still remembering the time
               You said you'd be mine.
               Yesterday was cold and bare
               Because you were not there.
               Yesterday was cold
               My story has been told.

           * I need your affection all the way.
               The world is changing and has changed away (way).
               I try to remain.
               I'm trying not to go insane.
               I need your affection all the way.

               I'm still remembering my life
               Before I became your wife.
               I'm still remembering the pain
               And the mind games.
               Reverse psychology, never tainted me.
               I didn't sell my soul, I didn't sell my soul.

              Repeat *

              They say the cream'll always
               Rise to the top.
               They say that good people
               Are always first to drop.
               What of Kurt Cobain,
               Will his presence still remain?
               Remember J. F. K.,
               Ever saintly in a way.

Will You Remember
               Will you remember the dress I wore?
               Will you remember my face?
               Will you remember the lipstick I wore?
               This world is a wonderful place.

               Will you remember the black limousine?
               Will you remember champagne?
               Will you remember the things that we see?
               I will return here again.

               Will you remember the flowers in my hand?
               Will you remember my hair?
               Will you remember the future we planned?
               The world is not waiting out there.

               I won't remember the dress I wore.
               I won't remember champagne.
               I won't remember the things that we swore.
               I will just love you in vain.

               Will you remember?
               Will you recall?
               Will you remember?

               I thought you'd always be there
               And I'll always hold on to your face
               But everything changes in time

               You meant something more to me

Bosnia
               I would like to state my vision,
               Life was so unfair.
               We live in our secure surroundings,
               And people die out there.

               Bosnia, was so unkind,
               Sarejevo, change my mind.
               And we all call out in despair.
               All the love we need isn't there.
               And we all sing songs in our rooms,
               Sarejevo erects another tomb.

               Sarejevo! Sarejevo! Sarejevo! Sarejevo!
               Bosnia, was so unkind.
               Sarejevo! Sarejevo! Sarejevo!
               Bosnia, was so unkind.

               Sure, things would change
               If we really wanted them to.
               No fear for children anymore,
               There are babies in their beds.
               Terror in their heads,
               Love for the love of life!

               When do the saints go marching in? (4x)
