The touch of your hand, will let me know
You take me in, and let me go
If not for love, why would we meet
How is it done, two into one, so easily?
CHORUS:
We're lifted up by angels
Higher than the world
Strong enough to leave it
Bound to learn the secrets
Angels never heard
We're lifted up by angels...
You understand, yet never say
How every plan would fade away
If not for love, where would you be?
Ashes to dust, water to rust
Away from me
(chorus)
Close enough to heaven
Above the rain
Darkness cannot reach us
Let the angels teach us
Only love remains
We're lifted up by angels
Given wings to fly
Leave the night behind us
Trust the light to find us
Even as we rise
We're lifted up by angels ...
We're close enough to heaven
Above the rain
Darkness cannot reach us
Let the angels teach us
Only love remains
(chorus)
We're lifted up by angels
I've been a fool, I have been cruel
You put your faith in me
Ask myself why, no alibi
Now that you're facing me
Did things my way, I've had my say
Sometimes I crossed that line
But it seemed like a good idea
Seemed like a good idea at the time
I know I was wrong, I'm holding on
Learning is hard to do
It's not too late, if you will wait
I'll make it up to you
If you refuse, then I will lose
I let our life unwind
But it seemed like a good idea
Seemed like a good idea at the time
It seemed like a good idea
Seemed like a good idea at the time
Seemed like the right thing 'til I watched you go
Seemed like the right thing but I lost control
Out in the darkness I saw a light
And now I know
A bitter taste has taken the place
Of kisses that were so sweet
Open my eyes, I realise
My lesson is complete
If it ain't broke, don't try to fix it
Sometimes I crossed that line
But it seemed like a good idea
Seemed like a good idea at the time
It seemed like a good idea
Seemed like a good idea at the time
Did things my way, I've had my say
Sometimes I crossed that line
But it seemed like a good idea Seemed like a good idea at the time
But it seemed like a good idea
It seemed like a good idea Seemed like a good idea at the time

Man got his woman to take his seed
He got the power, she got the need
She spends her life through pleasing up her man
She feeds him dinner, anything she can
She cries alone at night too often
He smokes and drinks and don't come home at all
Only women bleed
Only women bleed
Man makes your hair grey, he's your life's mistake
All you're really looking for is an even break
He lies right at you, you know you hate this game
Slaps you once in awhile, and you live and love in pain
She cries alone at night too often
He smokes and drinks and don't come home at all
Only women bleed
Only women bleed
Only women bleed
Only women bleed
Black eyes all of the time
Don't spend a dime, clean up this grime
And you there, down on your knees
Begging to please, come watch me bleed
Only women bleed
(Acoustic & Electric Guitar solo)

Only women bleed
Holed up in a motel, only she knows why
Stars dancing in her eyes
Wants her fifteen minutes so much she could cry
She'll take it on at any price
She was somebody's mother, somebody's wife
Now she's only headline news
By her own admission, it had all been a lie
Now she fairly stands accused
They found her by the road, her hands were tied
Was she the victim or the mastermind?
She's gonna be someone
Everyone will know her name
Knew what she wanted all along
She's got a talent for fame
Took her down to Broadbeach and made her sign her name
Many said she went too far
She's famous in her Penthouse, a legend in her mind
She's gonna be a country star
She knows she's gonna have to leave this town
Is she ever gonna live this down?
She's gonna be someone
Everyone will know her name
Knew what she wanted all along
She's got a talent for fame
She's gonna be someone
She told everyone
She just wants to be a star
(Guitar solo)
This is what she wanted all along
She's gonna take the chance before it's gone
She's gonna be someone
Everyone will know her name
Knew what she wanted all along
She's got a talent
She's got a talent for fame

I'm searching for something that's so hard to find
I'm falling down mountains I can't seem to climb
I'm driving down highways that don't have an end
I can't find the sign, am I lost again?
When all else fails - you will be there
When all else fails - I'll hold on to you
When all else fails - you'll still be there
When all else fails - I'll turn to you
I'm selfish and jealous, I
m proud and a fool
I'm walking with strangers, but strangers are cruel
I'm praying to gods that I don
t even know
I'm ready and willing, where do I go?
>When all else fails - you will be there
When all else fails - I'll hold on to you
When all else fails - you'll still be there
When all else fails - I'll turn to you
I know I might be mistaken, but it's the chance I'm taking
I'm walking on the wire
I have been burned my temptation
I'm drawn into that fire
I'm lost in my desire
(Backing Vocals solo)
When all else fails - you will be there
When all else fails - I'll hold on to you
When all else fails - you'll still be there
When all else fails - I'll turn to you

Manufacture of consent
Turn your fiction into fact
The story's more important than the truth
Selective information sold
Won't tell us what we should know
The printed word is set with biased hands
There it is in black and white
What you can't see, and don't hear
What you don't know hurts you
What is not said, but instead
What you don't know hurts you
And war looks like a TV game
Entertaining frame by frame
But do we ever really know the score?
Cover up and change the view
Suggest the side that we should choose
On the air, your own official truth
There it is on satellite
What you can't see, and don't hear
What you don't know hurts you
What is not said, but instead
What you don't know hurts you
What you're not told, but are sold
What you don't know hurts you
What is not shown, won't be known
What you don't know hurts you/p>
What you see
What you hear
What you read
(Guitar solo)
The safety of complacency
Imagination, scarcity
The camera is asleep on my TV
Opinions formed from what I'm fed
From subtitles that I've read
I read the words but not between the lines
Hear it on the air
What you can't see, and don't hear
What you don't know hurts you
What is not said, but instead
What you don't know hurts you
What you're not told, but are sold
What you don't know hurts you
What is not shown, won't be known
What you don't know hurts you
I've been wait him wearing you down
Somehow you're different when he's around
I know you feel it, the heart doesn't lie
It's going nowhere, we both know why
And it makes me sad, 'cause you can do better than that
I've seen this movie before
I'm not gonna watch anymore
>Don't let yourself be treated this way
How can you let yourself be treated this way?
I know the
pattern, I've seen the signs
Your spirit's been broken, you're hurting inside
There is another side of romance
I can show you, give me a chance
Why keep hanging on to something you know that is wrong?
You've been in this movie before
Why should you take any more?
Don't let yourself be treated this way
How can you let yourself be treated this way?
Don't be afraid of the end
You can start over again
Don't let yourself be treated this way?
Save yourself the trouble
Give yourself the chance
(Guitar solo)
Don't be afraid of the end
You can start over again
Don't let yourself be treated this way
How can you let yourself be treated this way?

There's a young girl working the corner
There's an old man lost at sea
They could tell you a million stories about the wrong side of the street
There's a rich man making money from a poor man's misery
It's always the same
Always the same
Fight for survival
Whatever we do today don't make tomorrow the same
Fight for survival
Forget about yesterday
Don't make tomorrow the same
There's a runaway looking for shelter
An innocent heart that bleeds
There's a blind man playing for pity
Says it's the only way to make ends meet
And he's living off his hard luck story
Says he's the victim of society
It's always the same
Always the same
Fight for survival
Whatever we do today don't make tomorrow the same
Fight for survival
Forget about yesterday
Don't make tomorrow the same
The seasons come and go
And all the questions why
How will we ever know if we never try?
(Guitar solo)
Always the same
Fight for survival
Whatever we do today don't make tomorrow the same
Fight for survival
Forget about yesterday
Don't make tomorrow the same
What did I do
Before the day I set my eyes on you?
Spending my time
Just working at the things I had to do
And then I saw your face
I was captured heart and soul
You gave me so much more
CHORUS:
You're the reason why
I listen in the night
And steal the softest kisses while you sleep
You're the reason why
tears will fill my eyes
Just looking at a photograph of you
Touching my frown
Tell me what you read between the lines
Everything's alright
I know sometimes I act a little strange
You bring me so much joy
Conversations make me smile
How could I love you more
You're the reason why
I speak with foolish pride
Whenever there's a chance to show you 'round
You're the reason why
I lost this heart of mine
At the very moment you arrived
I can't believe this life was ever lonely
No I can't imagine life before you
You're the reason why
I'm holding on so tight
I never want to let this feeling go
You're the reason why
My love will never die
My heart just could not sing if not for you
What did I do
Before the day I set my eyes on you?
I've got a strange disposition
I've got to dig down deep sometimes
Can't explain my reasons
I didn't mean to be unkind
I could not tolerate
The same from you, I know
I can't begin to understand
If you were me, I'd go
I've been so long in love with you
Though sometimes it don't show
So long in love with you
I just thought you should know
You are a constant contradiction
You keep me guessing all the time
Sometimes when I go too far, you pull me back in line
And if I don't go far enough, you show me what to do
I guess that's why I've been so long
So long in love with you
So long in love with you
Though sometimes it don't show
So long in love with you
I just thought you should know
(Guitar solo)
You know I've never had to fight alone
And if I did I'd never win
Remember when I got so low
I almost threw it in
That day you drove me trembling, back to face the world
You shook me up, you set me straight
No pity for a whispering fool
I've been so long in love with you
Though sometimes it don't show
So long in love with you
I just thought you should know
So long in love with you
Though sometimes it don't show
So long in love with you
I just thought you should know
Who's to say that you don't have the answers?
Who's to say that you do?
They say what goes around comes around
I believe that it's true
The tears will pass away and you'll see the day
It's alright - whatever you do
It's alright - it's coming back to you
It's alright - it's all true
It's alright - it's coming back to you
You don't want me to see you this way
At the end of your rope
Passion caught between beauty and ashes
It's got you hanging on hope
The nights will turn around
Someday you'll be found
It's alright - whatever you do
It's alright - it's coming back to you
It's alright - it's all true
It's alright - it's coming back to you
It's alright - whatever you do
It's alright - it's coming back to you
It's alright - it's all true
It's alright - it's coming back to you
(Guitar solo)
The nights will turn around
Someday you'll be found
It's alright - whatever you do
It's alright - it's coming back to you
It's alright - it's all true
It's alright - it's coming back to you

I looked there across to the horizon
The moon was bright and high up in the east
I stretched out to touch what I was seeing
And then I looked up and found it out of reach
Diamonds on the water
I saw starfire on the sea
There were diamonds on the water
You don't need to sleep to have a dream
I believe that certain things can happen
To change the very nature of the beast
And I have been a witness to survival
Nothing really has to rest in peace
Diamonds on the water
I saw starfire on the sea
There were diamonds on the water
You don't need to sleep to have a dream
Here I am, I'm standing on the edge of here and now
Here I am, my time is coming round
Here I am, dust to dust, I carry ancient ground
I am in a perfect situation
But thoughts intrude on me just like a thief
They steal me back to all that I would run from
Back from where I really want to be
Diamonds on the water
I saw starfire on the sea
There were diamonds on the water
You don't need to sleep
(Repeat x 3)
Have you ever been lonely, tired and broken?
And you dream of rolling home
My heart's on the runway, my soul on the freeway
How I wish I was rolling home
Familiar faces fill my mind
From the world I left behind
And it haunts me when I'm sleeping
I awake only to find that the truth can be unkind
When you're living in a wasteland
I came to this city with hope for the future
Now I long to be rolling home
Familiar places fill my mind
As my dreams come back in time
And it haunts me when I'm sleeping
I awake only to find that the truth can be unkind
When you're living in a wasteland
There's a car in the distance to take me to freedom
Tomorrow I'll be rolling home
Maybe tomorrow
Rolling home
Maybe tomorrow
Rolling home
Maybe tomorrow
I'm tired of living on my own
Tomorrow I'll be rolling home
Break the chains that hold me down
Set my sights, I'm homeward bound
Rolling home
I'm tired of living on my own
Rolling home
Tomorrow I'll be rolling home
Rolling home
Break the chains that hold me down
Rolling home
The sun goes down on a cloudless sky
The tide is in, the water's high
The fishermen are back in town
Tonight they'll either drink or drown
Wait for rain to come down
Wait for rain all year round
It's the talk of the town goin' round
If you're ever in that Gulf country
Strangest land you'll ever see
Sun's so hot the ground's on fire
Thermometer won't go no higher
Wait for rain to come down
Wait for rain all year round
It's the talk of the town goin' round
If you want to lose those lonely blues
You best put on your dancing shoes
The ringers make for the water hole
Tonight the town will rock 'n' roll
Wait for rain to come down
Wait for rain all year round
It's the talk of the town goin' round
Murray knows this ancient land
Like the back of his own hand
See the brolga on the plain
Thousands dancing, bring the rain
And that rain coming down
Hear that rain, what a mighty sound
It's the talk of the town coming down
You'll see that rain coming down
Hear that rain, what a mighty sound
It's the talk of the town coming down
Coming down
Coming down
Coming down
