    1. Child's Anthem

      (Instrumental)

    2. I'll Supply The Love

      Chorus:
      You supply the night,
      baby, I'll supply the love
      You supply the night,
      baby, I'll supply the love

      I see a horseman in the sky,
      it makes me turn and wonder why
      I hear the same old fourteen reasons,
      must be the changin' of the seasons

      Chorus:

      I met the girl across the sea,
      she saved my life and came with me
      A tender night of dark persuasion,
      could be my first and last occasion

      Chorus:

      (Instrumental break)

      Chorus repeats 2x:
      Baby, I'll supply the love,
      baby, I'll supply the,
      I'll supply the love

    3. Georgy Porgy

      It's not your situation, I just need contemplation over you
      I'm not so systematic, it's just that I'm an addict for your love
      Not the only one that holds you, I never ever should have told you
      You're my only girl
      I'm not the only one that holds you, I never ever should have told you
      You're my only world

      Just think how long I've known you, it's long for me to own you, lock and key
      It's really not confusing, I'm just the young illusion, can't you see

      I'm not the only one that holds you, I never ever should have told you
      You're my only girl
      I'm not the only one that holds you, I never ever should have told you
      You're my only world

      Georgy Porgy, pudding pie, kissed the girls and made them cry
      Kissed the girls and made them cry, kissed the girls and made them cry

      (In strumental break)

      It's not your situation, I just need contemplation over you
      I'm not so systematic, it's just that I'm an addict for your love

      Not the only one that holds you, I never ever should have told you
      You're my only girl
      I'm not the only one that holds you, I never ever should have told you
      You're my only world

      Georgy Porgy, pudding pie, kissed the girls and made them cry
      Kissed the girls and made them cry, kissed the girls and made them cry

      Georgy Porgy, pudding pie, kissed the girls and made them cry
      Kissed the girls and made them cry, kissed the girls and made them high

      Georgy Porgy
      Kissed the girls and made them cry, kissed the girls and made them high
      Georgy Porgy
      Kissed the girls and made them cry, kissed the girls and made them cry

    4. Manuela Run

      Don't look now, you better watch that sword that's hanging over you
      It's a long hard road and they will spit you out
      When they get through with you
      Don't hang your head, so the wise man said, or boy you'll soon be dead

      Chorus:
      You better run, run Manuela-uela run
      They're gonna shoot you in the back with your own gun
      You better run, run Manuela-uela run, Manuela run

      There's no more time for living out your life, your sky is falling down
      Don't close your eyes or make a wish on three
      'Cause they will still be 'round
      Don't hang your head, so the wise man said, or boy you'll soon be dead

      Chorus:

      (Instrumental break)

      Don't hang your head, so the wise man said, or boy you'll soon be dead

      You better run, run Manuela-uela run, you better run, run Manuela-uela run
      You better run, run Manuela-uela run
      (gonna shoot you in the back with your own gun)
      You better run, run Manuela-uela run, you better run, run Manuela run
      You better run, run Manuela run
      (gonna shoot you in the back with your own gun)
      You better run, run Manuela run

    5. You Are The Flower

      You never lose a minute, if in it there is love
      And "old man time" always pulls you through
      It's better not to depend on the morning dew
      For the rose you plant in your bed tends to you, oh to you

      Some folks take money, some take their life, some take forever to see
      Blind faith, blind love, they're no mystery to me
      You must take the time, for that's the fee

      Chorus:
      It's worth the pain that makes the tears
      It's worth the light of a million years
      Only your love I can't explain, you are the flower for my rain

      You light the sun that shines from my eyes
      It's all in return for what you're givin' me
      You are the reason for the earth beneath my feet
      And you fill the space that I call free

      Chorus:

      (Instrumental break)

      You are the flower for my rain, you are the flower for my rain
      You are the flower for my rain, you are the flower for my rain
      You are the flower for my rain, you are the flower for my rain

    6. Girl Goodbye

      Well I'm out on the road, and the devil's got my soul
      And I'm looking for the Lord in New York City

      Yeah I'm out on the run, got some heat, got a gun
      If they don't find me soon, it'll be a damn pity

      So it's

      Chorus:
      Goodbye girl, goodbye girl, girl goodbye
      It's so hard to see the truth with the sun in your eyes
      Goodbye girl, goodbye girl, girl goodbye
      Must be in the way that she cries, must be in the way that she cries
      Must be in the way that she cries

      Oh there's smoke in the air and there's blood everywhere
      But I'm hoping that the white man don't recognize me

      I'm so sorry what I've done, and I say it not in fun
      When I tell you that there's no one left inside me

      And it's - Chorus

      (Instrumental break)

      So it's - Chorus

    7. Takin' It Back

      I think I'll go it alone, you should've shown me if you cared
      Lies will turn a heart into stone, few would have known me if they dared

      'Cause I'm takin' it back where it all began
      The house on the cape, the place on the sand
      I'd take it all back if it'd just make you understand

      Girl how I've tried to forget you, now it would take more than I could buy
      Sure I could lie to myself too, but that won't work seeing that I've tried

      'Cause I'm takin' it back where it all began
      I'd live in a shack eating out of a can
      I'd take it all back if it'd just make you understand

      (Instrumental break)

      Now that I'm feeling assured, you'd better watch your every move
      Stop, think about every word, it's looking like you're going to lose

      'Cause I'm takin' it back where it all began
      The house on the cape, the place on the sand
      I'd take it all back if it'd just make you understand

      You should've shown me if you cared (repeats out)

    8. Rockmaker

      Don't know quite what to say, haven't seen you in seven ages
      Can you tell that it's me, or is my picture on torn out pages?

      Chorus:
      And you think it's real, but it's just another future deal
      And you know you're right, 'cause you've waited for it all night
      Then you find yourself, sitting on a little shelf

      Don't know quite what to do, I've been acting my life in phases
      Is it really true that they're keeping us locked in cages?

      Chorus

      (Instrumental break)

      Chorus

      Rockmaker (repeats 4x)

    9. Hold The Line

      It's not in the way that you hold me, it's not in the way you say you care
      It's not in the way you've been treating my friends
      It's not in the way that you stayed till the end
      It's not in the way you look or the things that you say that you'll do

      Chorus:
      Hold the line, love isn't always on time, oh oh oh
      Hold the line, love isn't always on time, oh oh oh

      It's not in the words that you told me, girl
      It's not in the way you say you're mine, ooh
      It's not in the way that you came back to me
      It's not in the way that your love set me free
      It's not in the way you look or the things that you say that you'll do

      Chorus:
      Hold the line, love isn't always on time, oh oh oh
      Hold the line, love isn't always on time, oh oh oh

      (Instrumental break)

      It's not in the words that you told me
      It's not in the way you say you're mine, ooh
      It's not in the way that you came back to me
      It's not in the way that your love set me free
      It's not in the way you look or the things that you say that you'll do

      Chorus -
      Hold the line, love isn't always on time, oh oh oh
      Hold the line, love isn't always on time, love isn't always on time
      Hold the line, love isn't always on time, love isn't always, love isn't always on time
      Hold the line, love isn't always on time,
      love isn't always on time,
      love isn't always on time,
      love isn't always on time, oh oh oh

    10. Angela

      Can't eat, can't sleep, can't seem to find time anymore
      Somewhere she weeps, her hair gently brushes the floor
      I know my way, I know that I'll find her somehow

      Chorus:
      Angela carries me back to the time
      When I knew that her love was still mine
      Angela's holding the child in her womb
      And I pray that she will be calling soon

      Cold moon, dark sky, I'm watching my mind disappear
      She sits alone, not knowing that I am so near
      Why can't she hear my voice as I call out her name

      Chorus

      It's a silly situation, it's just infatuation, no need to be sorry

      Can't eat, can't sleep, can't seem to find time anymore
      Somewhere she weeps, her hair gently brushes the floor
      I know my way, I know that I'll find her somehow

      Chorus

      It's a silly situation, it's just infatuation, no need to be sorry
