how hard you try in your own life, and through your years with every up - must come a down enjoy the laughter and the tears of happiness *# revelations i went to the ukraine they don't have much to eat no sugar on the table but the people stay sweet i've been to the third world they've got nothing but hope through the starving and dying sometimes somehow they cope it was a revelation - a revelation - a revelation to me i've been to the u.s. promised land of the free with the workless and homeless begging on every street it was a revelation - a revelation - a revelation to me revelation, it was a revelation and right here in europe far as can been seen butter mountains and wine lakes that much food it's obscene now you can label me stupid or naive with this song but when children are starving i know what's right and what's wrong it was a revelation - a revelation - a revelation to me *& touch the sky and when you smile - honey it's a cinch i'd crawl for miles - it's worth every inch i'd touch the sky honey - for you ooh ooh the way you turn your head and the way you walk i know it's a cliche - honey the way you talk and when you smile you set the world alight when you throw your magic switch you make me feel alright yeah when you smile - it's a cinch pain won't dry - comes to the clinch politicians don't lie - honey it's you ooh ooh the way you fix your hair even - when you boil your eggs you got a certain something honey goes straight to my legs and when you laugh - the whole world grins you get right through to my soul with just the little things and when you smile - honey i feel mountain high - honey you make the bad guys die - honey it's you ooh ooh it's the little things - you do yeah when you smile honey - you make brave men cry - honey you are something wild honey - it's you ooh ooh yeah when you smile - i'd crawl for miles we'll touch the sky honey - it's you ooh ooh it's the little things the little things you do *# foreign sand here we go - ain't it grand here we stand on foreign sand and we're not alone why do we fear what we don't understand can't we reachout our hands to try to just say hello try to plant a seed - fulfil the need - to make it grow - just say hello and when you're far from home try to learn from all you see your eyes will tell you everything you need why do we dread what we really don't know come not as concubine - come not as foe come with intentions clearly shown try to plant a seed - fulfil the need - to make it grow - just say hello and though you're far from home try to learn from all you see your mind will tell you everything you need - everything you need here we go ain't it grand here we stand on foreign sand and we're not alone red, yello, black and white every man stand in the light - stand not alone it's not a lie - it's not a sham we play for keeps - it's not a scam no bigotry - we're hand in hand it ain't a cinch - we make a stand we learn to live on foreign sand - just say hello why do we despise when we can't even speak we keep on spreadking lies as far as we know it's the only way to be try to plant a seed - fulfil the need - to make it grow - just say hello and though you're far from home try to learn what you could be your heart will tell you everything you need even though you stand here you stand on foreign sand ain't it grand here we stand - on foreign sand together we stand - here we stand on foreign sand [different credits at the end of the liner notes] freedom train it's been a long time comin' - now it's time to dance by the golden thread of circumstance you're destiny come dressed as chance we've been a long time comin' to this romance now i'm an honest man but the time has come and i'm a peaceful man the peace before the storm i think i hear my train i think i hear my freedom train i think i hear my freedom train i think i hear my freedom train i think i hear my freedom train now the world is changin' - faster than we know in these troubled lands where hate dies slow i think a train of change is comin' down the track comin' right this way it ain't turning back now i'm an honest man with a message of hope and i'm a peaceful man on a slippery slope i think i hear my train i think i hear my freedom train i think i hear my freedom train i think i hear my freedom train i think i hear my freedom train comin' down the track comin' down the track *# 'you had to be there' the sweetest moments that i ever had the most magic memories that i recall (when the man came out and complained in the hall) when i met you when i met you 'you had to be there' the darkest hour that i ever lived and the longest fall that i ever fell and the sun went in and the night was hell when you left me when you left me 'you had to be there' the sweetest thoughts that i entertain are of happy days that might come again i don't know your face i don't know your name 'til we meet again... 'you have to be there' * the key there once was a king of paris there once was an emperor of brazil there was maybe a loch ness monster there once was a buffalo bill now you can search the whole wide planet scratching in the mud and worms but an honest politician is just a contradiction in terms and if i had the keys to the kingdom i'd hand them straight to you in another time another place another life another waste sometimes the last thing you wanna know is the truth with your bishops priests and mullahs and all the mumbo jumbo clans when you're not accepting women how can you love your fellow man? well you can search the whole wide planet down to viruses and germs a 'sensible' religion is just a contradiction in terms and if i had the keys to the kingdom i'd hand them straight to you in another time another place another life another waste another love another lie another small way to die sometimes the last thing you wanna know is the truth *&# everybody hurts sometime everybody hurts sometime - you know it (you know it) and everybody loves soemtime - don't be afraid to show it if you don't get a little hurt sometime if you don't dig a little dirt sometime you ain't living at all love and affection - is the sweetest thing but when love turns sour - it ain't a sin it's a bitter pill but it turns to bitter - sweet - within and it's on any street - everybody hurts sometime happiness is a young mans dream but it don't come easy - know what i mean? gotta chase it down the street right to that last scene run down that illusion try to live your dream cos everybody hurts sometime - you know it and everybody loves sometime - don't be afraid to show it and if you don't get a little hurt sometimes if you don't dig a little dirt sometimes you ain't living at all *@ loneliness... loneliness... is the greatest curse and loneliness... is hell on earth they say it's all in the mind well i'm sure that's true but knowing isn't a cure it don't help me or you you don't know what it's like when you're all on your own you don't know what it's like when you're really alone but then it's all in the mind - loneliness? loneliness... can be so unkind and loneliness... hope you never find it they say it's all in the mind see how it falls off the tongue they say you reap what you sow they must be putting us on cos you don't know what it's like 'til you're all on your own no you don't know what it's like until you're alone yeah you don't know what it's like wait 'til you're really alone but then it's all in the mind... loneliness - loneliness - loneliness * dear mr murdoch dear mr murdoch, what have you done with your news of the screws and your soaraway sun?
