PRIDE (IN THE NAME OF LOVE)
Intro: x2
One man come in the name of love,
One man come and go.
One man come he to justify,
One man to overthrow,
In the name of love,
What more in the name of love?
One man crawled on a barbed wire fence,
One man he resist.
One man washed on an empty beach.
One man betrayed with a kiss.
In the name of love,
What more in the name of love?
Nobody like you x2
Ooo-oo-oo-oo
Ooo-oo-oo-oo
Ooo-oo-oo-oo

Early morning, April 4.
A shot rings out in the Memphis sky.
Free at last, they took your life,
But they could not take your pride.
In the name of love,
What more in the name of love?
End on B (or fade out)
NEW YEARS DAY
All is quite on New Year s Day
A world in white, gets underway
I want to be with you, be with you night and day
Nothing changes on New Year s Day
On New Year s Day
Chorus:
I will be with you again
I will be with you again
Under a blood read sky
A crowd has gathered black and white
Arms entwined, the chosen few
Newspaper say, says, say it s true, it s true
And we can break through
Though torn in two, we can be one
I, I will begin again
I, I will begin again, yeah
Repeat Chorus and fade out
WITH OR WITHOUT YOU
See the stone set in your eyes
See the thorn twist in your side
I ll Wait for You
Sleight of hand and twist of fate
On a bed of nails she makes me wait
And I wait without you
With or Without you 2x
Through the storm we reach the shore
You give it all but I want more
And I m waiting for you
With or Without you 2x
I can t live
With or Without you
And you give yourself away 2x
And you give 2x
And you give yourself away
My hands are tied
My body bruised she got me with
Nothing to win and
Nothing left to lose
And you give yourself away 2x
And you give 2x
And you give yourself away
With or Without You 2x
I Can t Live...With or Without You
Ohhhhhhh Ohhhhhhhh
With or Without you 2x
I can t live
With or without you 2x
Hoooooooo Hooooooo
I STILL HAVEN T FOUND WHAT I M LOOKING FOR
This song is played in the key of C# (C#, F#, G#), but works equally well
in (, , ) or (, , ), so long as you don t play along to the recording.
I have climbed highest mountain
I have run through the fields
Only to be with you
Only to be with you
I have run
I have crawled
I have scaled these city walls
These city walls
Only to be with you
But I still haven t found what I m looking for
But I still haven t found what I m looking for
I have kissed honey lips
Felt the healing in her fingertips
It burned like fire
This burning desire
I have spoke with the tongue of angels
I have held the hand of a devil
It was warm in the night
I was cold as a stone
But I still haven t found what I m looking for
But I still haven t found what I m looking for
I believe in the kingdom come
Then all the colors will bleed into one
Bleed into one
Well yes I m still running
You broke the bonds and you
Loosed the chains
Carried the cross
Of my shame
Of my shame
You know I believed it
But I still haven t found what I m looking for X4
SUNDAY BLOODY SUNDAY
Intro-Riff )
I can t believe the news today
Oh, I can t close my eyes and make it go away
How long?
How long must we sing this song?
How long, how long?
Cause tonight we can be as one, tonight!
Broken bottles under children s feet
Bodies strewn across the dead-end street
But I won t heed the battle call
It puts my back up against the wall
Sunday, bloody Sunday
Sunday, bloody Sunday
And the battle s just begun
There s many lost, but tell me who has won?
The trenches dug within our hearts
And mother s children, brothers, sisters torn apart
Sunday, bloody Sunday
Sunday, bloody Sunday
Wipe the tears from your eyes
Wipe your tears away
Wipe your bloodshot eyes
Sunday, bloody Sunday
Sunday, bloody Sunday
And it s true we are immune
When fact is fiction and T.V. is reality
And today the millions cry
We eat and drink while tomorrow they die
The real battle just begun
To claim the victory Jesus won,
On Sunday, bloody Sunday
Sunday, bloody Sunday...

I want to run
I want to hide
I want to tear down the walls
That hold me inside
I want to reach out
And touch the flame
Where the streets have no name

I want to feel, sunlight on my face
See that dust cloud disappear without a trace
I want to take shelter from the poison rain
Where the streets have no name

Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name
We re still building then burning down love
Burning down love
And when I go there
I go there with you...
It s all I can do
The city s a flood
And our love turns to rust
We re beaten and blown by the wind
Trampled in dust
I ll show you a place
High on the desert plain
Where the streets have no name

Where the streets have no name

Blown by the wind
Oh and I see love
See our love turn to rust
And we re beaten and blown by the wind
Blown by the wind
Oh when I go there

Yeah, lover I m on the streets

Gonna go where the bright lights and the big city meet

Over the counter with a shotgun
Pretty soon, everybody got one
And the fever when I m beside her
Desire, desire

She s the dollars
She s my protection
She s a promise
In the year of election

Stealing hearts at a traveling show
For love or money, money, money
