Текст песни:

If blood will flow when flesh and steel are one
Drying in the colour of the evening sun
Tomorrow′s rain will wash the stains away
But something in our minds will always stay

Perhaps this final act was meant
To clinch a lifetime′s argument
That nothing comes from violence
and nothing ever could
For all those born beneath an angry star
Lest we forget how fragile we are

On and on the rain will fall
Like tears from a star
Like tears from a star
On and on the rain will say
How fragile we are
How fragile we are

On and on the rain will fall
Like tears from a star
Like tears from a star
On and on the rain will say
How fragile we are
How fragile we are
How fragile we are
How fragile we are

Текст песни:

Hush child,
Let your mommy sleep into the night until we rise
Hush child,
Let me soothe the shining tears that gather in your eyes

Hush child,
I won′t leave I′ll stay with you to cross this Bridge of Sighs
Hush child,
I can help the look of accusation in your eyes
In your eyes

The world is broken and now
All in sorrow
Wise men hang their heads

Hush child,
Let your mommy sleep into the night until we rise
Hush child,
All the strength I′ll need to find, I′ll find inside your eyes
In your eyes

Текст песни:

No earthly church has ever blessed our union
No state has ever granted us permission
No family bond has ever made us two
No company has ever earned commission

No debt was paid no dowry to be gained
No treaty over border land or power
No semblance of the world outside remained
To stain the beauty of this nuptial hour

The secret marriage vow is never spoken
The secret marriage can never be broken

No flowers on the altar
No white veil in your hair
No maiden dress to alter
No bible oath to swear

The secret marriage vow is never spoken
The secret marriage can never be broken

@ Sting

Текст песни:

I don′t drink coffee I take tea my dear
I like my toast done on one side
And you can hear it in my accent when I talk
I′m an Englishman in New York

See me walking down Fifth Avenue
A walking cane here at my side
I take it everywhere I walk
I′m an Englishman in New York

whoa I′m an alien
I′m a legal alien
I′m an Englishman in New York
whoa I′m an alien
I′m a legal alien
I′m an Englishman in New York

If "manners maketh man" as someone said
Then he′s the hero of the day
It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile
Be yourself no matter what they say

whoa I′m an alien
I′m a legal alien
I′m an Englishman in New York
whoa I′m an alien
I′m a legal alien
I′m an Englishman in New York

Modesty, propriety can lead to notoriety
You could end up as the only one
Gentleness, sobriety are rare in this society
At night a candle′s brighter than the sun

Takes more than combat gear to make a man
Takes more than license for a gun
Confront your enemies, avoid them when you can
A gentleman will walk but never run

If "manners maketh man" as someone said
Then he′s the hero of the day
It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile
Be yourself no matter what they say
Be yourself no matter what they say
Be yourself no matter what they say

(Be yourself no matter what they say 9x)
"whoa I′m an alien
I′m a legal alien
I′m an Englishman in New York 4x"

Текст песни:

Mañana ya la sangre no estará
Al caer la lluvia se la llevará
Acero y piel combinación tan cruel
Pero algo en nuestras mentes quedará

Un acto así terminará
Con una vida y nada más
Nada se logra con violencia
Ni se logrará
Aquellos que han nacido en un mundo así
No olviden su fragilidad
Lloras tu y lloro yo
Y el cielo también, y el cielo también
Lloras tu y lloro yo
Que fragilidad, que fragilidad

@ Sting

Текст песни:

Yo la veo caminar
Por las nubes va
¿Donde andara?
Mariposa libre que sueña
Que quiere ser
Y no piensa en nada mãs
Solo en vivir

Si estoy triste viene a mi
Mil sonrisas trae
Las dã porque si
Y me dice estã, bien, todo bien
Estoy aqui y soy de ti
Soy de ti

@ Sting

Текст песни:

Train I ride don′t be slow
If your whistle can blow
Fifteen miles down the track
Tell them I′m coming back
Counting poles counting sheep
Don′t be slow I won′t weep
If your wheels on the line
Were to put me on time

Just a year to the day
Since I went upon my way
To seek my fortune and fame
Be a star change my name
And that′s it more or less
Til this midnight express
I know I can′t be late
Cause she said she won′t wait
She′ll just go marry Jack
So there′s no turning back
And it′s 25 to midnight and fifteen miles of track

Band I had got a break
Just one chance we had to take
Told my girl I′d be back
Left her with my friend Jack
New York City for a spell
Things didn′t turn out so well
Every dive that we played
We were lucky we got paid

Mr Train driver please
If your speed you increase
Every cent I have now
Will be yours this I vow
And that′s it more or less
Til this midnight express
I know I can′t be late
Cause she said she won′t wait
She′ll just go marry Jack
So there′s no turning back
And it′s 25 to midnight and fifteen miles of track

We called ourselves the Latino Lovers
Hawaiian shirts and top forty covers
I didn′t think I could sink this low
When drugs and booze ate all my dough
This isn′t how it was meant to be
There′s no such thing as a meal that′s free
If I was ever to get out alive
I have to get home on time

Train I ride don′t be slow
If your whistle can blow
Fifteen miles down the track
Tell them I′m coming back
And that′s it more or less
Til this midnight express
I know I can′t be late
Cause she said she won′t wait
She′ll just go marry Jack


So there′s no turning back
And it′s 25 to midnight and fifteen miles of track
And it′s 25 to midnight and fifteen miles of track

Текст песни:

He deals the cards as a meditation
And those he plays never suspect
He doesn′t play for the money he wins
He doesn′t play for respect
He deals the crads to find the answer
The sacred geometry of chance
The hidden loaw of a probable outcome
The numbers lead a dance

I know that the spades are swords of a soldier
I know that the clubs are weapons of war
I know that diamonds mean money for this art
But that′s not the shape of my heart

He may play the jack of diamonds
He may lay the queen of spades
He may conceal a king in his hand
While the memory of it fades

I know that the spades are swords of a soldier
I know that the clubs are weapons of war
I know that diamonds mean money for this art
But that′s not the shape of my heart

And if I told you that I loved you
You′d maybe think there′s something wrong
I′m not a man of too many faces
The mask I wear is one
Those who speak know nothing
And find out to their cost
Like those who curse their luck in too many places
And those who fear are lost

I know that the spades are swords of a soldier
I know that the clubs are weapons of war
I know that diamonds mean money for this art
But that′s not the shape of my heart

Текст песни:

Turned on the weather man just after the news
I needed sweet rain to wash away my blues
He looked at the chart but he looked in vain
Heavy cloud but no rain

Back in the time with Louis XVI
At the court of the people he was number one
He′d be the bluest blood they′d ever seen
When the king said hi to the guillotine
The royal astrologer was run out of breath
He thought that maybe the rain would postpone his death
He look in the sky but he look in vain
Heavy cloud but no rain

Well the land was cracking and the river was dry
All the crops were dying when they ought to be high
So to save his farm from the banker′s draft
The farmer took out a book on some old witchcraft
He made a spell and a potion on a midsummer′s night
He killed a brindled calf in the pale moonlight
He prayed to the sky but he prayed in vain
Heavy cloud but no rain
Heavy cloud but no rain

The sun won′t shine till the clouds are gone
The clouds won′t go till their work is done
And every morning you′ll hear me pray
If only it would rain today

I asked my baby if there′d be some way
She said she′d save her love for a rainy day
I look in the sky but I look in vain
Heavy cloud but no rain

Текст песни:

There′s a moon over Bourbon Street tonight
I see faces as they pass beneath the pale lamplight
I′ve no choice but to follow that call
The bright lights, the people, and the moon and all
I pray everyday to be strong
For I know what I do must be wrong
Oh you′ll never see my shade or hear the sound of my feet
While there′s a moon over Bourbon Street

It was many years ago that I became what I am
I was trapped in this life like an innocent lamb
Now I can never show my face at noon
And you′ll only see me walking by the light of the moon
The brim of my hat hides the eye of a beast
I′ve the face of a sinner but the hands of a priest
Oh you′ll never see my shade or hear the sound of my feet
While there′s a moon over Bourbon Street

She walks everyday through the streets of New Orleans
She′s innocent and young from a family of means
I have stood many times outside her window at night
To struggle with my instinct in the pale moonlight
How could I be this way when I pray to God above
I must love what I destroy and destroy the thing I love
Oh you′ll never see my shade or hear the sound of my feet
While there′s a moon over Bourbon Street

Текст песни:

Chase the dog star
Over the sea
Home where my true love is waiting for me
Rope the south wind
Canvas the stars
Harness the moonlight
So she can safely go
Round the Cape Horn to Valparaiso

Red the port light
Starboard the green
How will she know of the demons I′ve seen
Cross in the sky,star of the sea
Under the moonlight, there she can safely go
Round the Cape Horn to Valparaiso

And every road I walked would take me down to the sea
With every broken promise in my sack
And every love would always send the ship of my heart
Over the rolling sea

If I should die
And water′s my grave
She′ll never know if i′m damned or I′m saved
See the ghost fly over the sea
Under the moonlight, there she can safely go
Round the Cape Horn to Valparaiso

@ Sting

Текст песни:

Saw an ad in the newspaper that caught my eye
I said to my baby this sounds like the ticket for you and I
It said volunteers wanted for a very special trip
To commune with Mother Nature on a big wooden ship
We took a taxi to the river in case any places were free
There was an old guy with a beard
And every kind of creature as far as the eye could see

This old guy was the boss he said "I won′t tell you no lie
But there′s more to this journey than is apparent to the eye"
He said he′d heard God′s message on the radio
It was going to rain forever and he′d told him to go
"I′ll protect you all don′t worry I′ll be father to you all
I′ll save two of every animal, no matter how small
But I′ll need some assistants to look after the zoo
I can′t see nobody better so you′ll just have to do"
I said, "Just tell me something before it′s too late and we′re gone
I mean just how safe is this boat we′ll be on?"

"It′s Rock steady / Rock steady
Rock steady / Rock steady
Rock steady / Rock steady
Rock steady / Rock steady"

It rained for forty days and forty long nights
I′d never seen rain like it and it looked like our old friend
Was being proved right
We had no time to worry though there was just too much to do
Between the signified monkey and the kangaroo
We had to wash all the animals we had to feed them too
We were merely human slaves in a big floating zoo
She said, "Hey baby I don′t mean to be flip
But it seems this old man is on some power trip"
I said, "No, no sugar you must be wrong
I mean look at the size of this boat we′re on.
We′re as safe as houses, as safe as mother′s milk
He′s as cool as November and as smooth as China silk
He′s God′s best friend, he′s got a seat on the board
And life may be tough but we′re sailing with the lord."

Rock steady / Rock steady
Rock steady / Rock steady
Rock steady / Rock steady
Rock steady / Rock steady

Woke up this morning and something had changed
Like a room in my house had just been rearranged
She said, "It′s stopped raining and I know the guy′s kind
But if we stay here much longer I′m gonna lose my mind."
So we said we had a mission for his favorite dove
To see if there was any mercy from this great God above
So to find dry land, away the white bird flew
We didn′t need no country just a rock would do
When the dove came back to us he threw down a twig
It was manna from heaven and meant we could blow this gig
"But the rock′s too small," he said, "can′t you see?"
I said, "It′s just perfect for her, it′s perfect for me."

Rock steady / Rock steady
Rock steady / Rock steady
Rock steady / Rock steady
Rock steady / Rock steady
Rock steady / Rock steady
Rock steady / Rock steady

Текст песни:

If we seek solace in the prisons of the distant past
Security in human systems we′re told will always always last
Emotions are the sail and blind faith is the mast
Without the breath of real freedom we′re getting nowhere fast

If God is dead and an actor plays his part
His words of fear will find a place in your heart
Without the voice of reason every faith is its own curse
Without freedom from the past things can only get worse

Sooner or later just like the world first day
Sooner or later we learn to throw the past away
Sooner or later just like the world first day
Sooner or later we learn to throw the past away
Sooner or later we learn to throw the past away

History will teach us nothing
History will teach us nothing

Our written history is a catalogue of crime
The sordid and the powerful, the architects of time
The mother of invention, the oppression of the mild
The constant fear of scarcity, aggression as its child

Sooner or later
Sooner or later
Sooner or later
Sooner or later

Convince an enemy, convince him that he′s wrong
Is to win a bloodless battle where victory is long
A simple act of faith
In reason over might
To blow up his children will only prove him right
History will teach us nothing
Sooner or later just like the world first day
Sooner or later we learn to throw the past away
Sooner or later just like the world first day
Sooner or later we learn to throw the past away
Sooner or later we learn to throw the past away

History will teach us nothing
History will teach us nothing

Know your human rights
Be what you come here for
Know your human rights
Be what you come here for
Know your human rights
Be what you come here for
Know your human rights
Be what you come here for

Текст песни:

Madam I′d like to assure you that this little
Domestic reactor will never cause you any trouble
Nuclear Waste - we don′t want that
Nuclear Waste - we don′t need that
Atomic Power - we′ve got to leave this
Nuclear Age behind in our t-t-time

A faste breeder breaks all the rules
Gives us something for nothing - that ain′t true
And who makes the profit? - not me and you
And who runs the risks? - we all do!

Nuclear Fear - we don′t want that
Nuclear Waste - we can′t get rid of that
Nuclear Power - you′re hoping we′ll get used to it
Nuclear Accidents- I′ve had enough of it.

Do you find it attractive to be radioactive
Emitting killing rays?
Splitting your atoms with a fission reaction
Transmitting out of phase?

Strontium 90
I wanna live to see 1999
There′s enough energy in the air and in the sea
To give us Power to live Peace and Harmony

Nuclear Waste - we don′t get used to your
Nuclear Waste - Ultimate polution
Radiation - produces mutation
Disintegration - it′s not evolution
Nuclear Children - you have the solution

New Killer Waste - better active today

Than radioactive tomorrow
New Kiler Waste - need a cure for cancer?
Or you field - need the real answer
Or maybe solar - fusion nor fission
Oh darling! - let me put my arms around you

Nuclear Waste - jamming my transmission
Nuclear Waste - damaging my vision
Nuclear Waste

Текст песни:

Sister moon will be my guide
In your blue blue shadows I would hide
All good people asleep tonight
I′m all by myself in your silver light
I would gaze at your face the whole night through
I′d go out of my mind but for you

Lying in a mother′s arms
The primal root of a woman′s charms
I′m a stranger to the sun
My eyes are too weak
How cold is a heart
When it′s warmth that he seeks?
You watch every night, you don′t care what I do
I′d go out of my mind, but for you
I′d go out of my mind, but for you

My mistress′ eyes are nothing like the sun
My hunger for her explains everything I′ve done
To howl at the moon the whole night through
And they really don′t care if I do
I′d go out of my mind, but for you

Sister Moon

Текст песни:

You could say I lost my faith in science and progress
You could say I lost my belief in the holy Church
You could say I lost my sense of direction
You could say all of this and worse but
If I ever lose my faith in you
There′d be nothing left for me to do

Some would say I was a lost man in a lost world
You could say I lost my faith in the people on TV
You could say I′d lost my belief in our politicians
Yhey all seemed like game show hosts to me
If I ever lose my faith in you
There′d be nothing left for me to do
I could be lost inside their lies without a trace
But every time I close my eyes I see your face

I never saw no miracle of science
That didn′t go from a blessing to a curse
I never saw no military solution
That didn′t always end up as something worse, but
Let me say this first
If I ever lose my faith in you
There′d be nothing left for me to do
