1. Patience2:53

   Letra

   Patience It's like a conversation, where no-one stops to breathe Is it my imagination, or did God already leave the table? Such destruction, and pure white castles in the sand No time for introduction With all that money changing hands And the satellite says, "Take a look at all we have" But the old man says, "You want my family, for your liberty, I can't do that." Look into the eyes of any patient man Whether they be amber, green or blue, There's a piece of God staring back at you But they see our children, and the old folk fend for themselves They see our broken women On imaginary shelves But the satellite says, "Won't you people look at all we have? Don't you want it? Can't you see the things that you lack?" Children in his arms, he turns his back.
2. Amazing4:25

   Letra

   I was mixed up when you came to me Too broke to fix said 'daddy you gone, I'm missing my baby' Still missing my baby I was stitched up by the hands of fate Said how you gonna make it on your own if luck is a lady? Maybe luck is a lady I was going down for the third time My heart was broken, I was not open to your suggestions I had so many questions That you just kissed away Tell me, I guess that cupid was in disguise The day you walked in and changed my life I think it's amazing The way that love can you set you free So now I walk in the midday sun I never thought that my savior would come I think it's amazing I think it's amazing I think you're amazing You tried to save me from myself Said 'darling, kiss as many as you want! My love's still available And I now you're insatiable' We're like victims of the same disease Look at your big bad daddy and your mom And your mom, was always acting crazy I was going down for the third time My heart was broken, I though that loving you was out of the Question Then I say my reflection Saying please don't let this go Tell me, I guess that cupid was in disguise The day you walked in and changed my life I think it's amazing The way that love can you set you free So now I walk in the midday sun I never thought that my savior would come I think it's amazing I think you're amazing Celebrate the love of the one you're with Celebrate, this life with you baby I think you should celebrate yeah Don't put your love in chains baby No no, walk in the midday sun I thought I was dreaming I think it's amazing I think you're amazing I said celebrate the love of the one you're with As this life gets colder And the devil inside Tells you to give up
3. John And Elvis Are Dead4:23

   Letra

   Close friend of mine as a child fell into a slumber No sign of life since '75 Then one day he just, what do you know I guess God just called his number He called me up he called me up and said "I've been awake about a week I'm thinking about asking the doctor If he could put me back to sleep" Then he laughed and said "Hey all the girls they look the same" Don't they know just what their mothers Paid in blood, and tears to change But the words that made me cry The thing he softly said It stayed with me, it keeps messing with my head He said, "If Jesus Christ is alive and well Then how come John and Elvis are dead?" Youth, beautiful youth We walked through the walls until we found the truth And said "Change it, it's ugly just change it" Everyone we used to know Must have given up, so long ago You can see it, it's written on their faces And the inside of their clothes But the words that made me cry 'Cause I knew just what they meant He turned to me and said "Hey boy, if Jesus Christ is alive and well Then how come John and Elvis are dead?" "Tell me if Jesus Christ is alive and well Then how come Marvin and Elvis are dead?" I said "If Jesus Christ is going to save us from ourselves How come peace, love and Elvis are dead?"

5. Round Here5:54

   Letra

   My daddy got here on the gravy train I guess my mama had a real bad start to the game They went walking and she took his name Round here There was dancing in the afternoons those days Waiting tables, chasing girls with the money he made It was 1957, and love felt the same, love felt the same Frightened little girl, she makes a break Into the arms of, something better Round here I hear my mama call in Kingsbury Park Just me and David and a football that glowed in the dark Waiting patiently to make my mark Round here And I remember my first day at school And I remember trouble, and thinking I was so cool I remember it all, like yesterday Don't you Every time I try to leave this place Something inside says, "You can do better" Round here So come with me, let me show you where I've lived I want to put my hands in this earth again Music fell like rain to the streets The Specials and The Jam, to The Beat Even though I think I've seen everything there is to see of this world I gotta be thankful that this crowded space Is the place of my birth When all that I wanted, was to be someone. Two little Hitlers in an old church hall Some cheesy covers and those neighbors that banged on the walls Andy says it's time to show them all Round here Please sir, we two have other plans Please sir you would not understand, What's going on Is magical, can't you see That some of us do more than dream Every time I try to leave this place Something inside says, "Keep on keeping, on and on...." Around here So come with me, let me show you where I've lived I want to put my hands in this earth again Music fell like rain to the streets The Specials and The Jam, ABC Even though I think I've seen everything there is to see of this world I gotta be thankful that this crowded space Is the place of my birth My birth, In this town, Yes I guess I got to be someone To be somebody In the Beautiful city This place I call home These streets of London It's everything I know (everything and everybody) On the streets of London I want to thank you My daddy got here on the gravy train.
6. My Mother Had A Brother6:17

   Letra

   My mother had a brother They say that I was born on the day that he died Someone to cling to, she said When all the noises and the shame came calling My mother had a brother I thought I knew them all, I thought I knew But she lied I said, "Show me his face again, tell me again why he died" She said he couldn't wait for the things that I've seen She said he wasn't strong enough, he never dared to dream a life like mine My mother had a brother Over-sensitive and kind Seems it all became too much for him. It seems he took his own life Mum, I can't imagine the joy and pain in equal measure Tears in the dirt, and all over your newborn treasure I guess he had to wait until my momma had me I guess he couldn't wait another moment to be free In endless sky But mama will you tell him from your boy The times they changed I guess the world was getting warmer And we got stronger Mother will you tell him about my joy I live each day for him The sun came out, yeah, and I'm just breathing it in My mother had a brother Same desire, different time Seems the empty spaces tortured him Until he took his own life I don't know why I waited so long for love I just don't know what I was thinking of All that wasted time But mama will you tell him from your boy The times they changed I guess the world was getting warmer While we got stronger Mother will you tell him about my joy I live each day with him Your son came out, yeah, And I'm still breathing it in And I swear now that freedom is here I'm gonna taste it all for you boy I'm bad to the bone, I'm just a little torn I'm making so much love So those of us who have nothing to fear We've got to make damn sure that it was worth it I'm bad to the bone, I'm just a little stoned I'm making so much love I was a prisoner, but he saved me Broke into my dreams and said, "Who cares?" I was a prisoner, so disgrace me I'm glad to be home And I don't believe they care.

8. American Angel4:07

   Letra

   Bless the day you came into my life, I still remember Horny cowboy with your stars and stripes Bringing the light into my day With that Texan smile Too afraid to love, to hope that you would stay So broken that I never saw you chase the past away My American Angel, he doesn't want to fight (doesn't need to fight) My U.S of Angel, holds me in the dead of night Takes away that fear that I carried forever You stopped to wipe away my tears And you stayed forever and more (I don't think that I) Yesterday it seemed my life was colder than December All alone I watched the eagles fly Even the light seemed to have changed In the Californian sky Through all of those battles then you came Stepped out of the fading light Said, "Baby I'm American, dry your eyes again, Because I'm here to save your life" My American Angel, he doesn't want to fight (doesn't need to fight) My U.S of Angel, holds me in the dead of night Takes away that fear that I carried forever You stopped to wipe away my tears But you stayed forever amore And more, didn't you baby Because I don't think that I could love and lose again I don't think I have the strength I don't think I have the strength I don't think that I
9. Precious Box7:39

   Letra

   In my house there's a circle, where the life comes in From the stars to my home, down through the stone, I could have been so alone, Without my precious box Have I a family? I guess not I've never seen a lot of beauty In my life. Well in your house there are servants, and the lights all dim Such a beautiful home, your agent's on the phone, they never Leave you alone The party never stops! You say that's fantasy, I say "So what, I need a little Beauty" So let me in, You know you've kind of got under my skin You know we never see a lot of the action round here My dear You may want to strip again And you look so fine in your Gucci suit And you're making more money than your daddy Could have imagined But people can go out of fashion, honey, yeah, any time So take that picture, stop acting so dumb Don't you know that the moment will come I will find someone like you But with something extra, I'm sorry baby I don't know why I don't know why that is The systematic breakdown of my community You know I hate my job, I try to save but God There's just never enough Switch on, the pressure, stops You know the one for me, she's on Fox And she's a little beauty Give me your life, give me your life, I want it Because lately, it's so freezing out here (This side of the glass, life keeps kicking my ass) In so many ways, but you make it good Made me the kind of happy that my baby never could (This side of the glass) So take that picture, stop acting so dumb Don't you know that the moment will come I will find someone like you But with something extra, I'm so sorry baby I don't know why I don't know why that is Precious keeps me company Keeps me from being alone Because no-one comes in the morning No-one comes in the evening time I'd sit and wait for the phone to ring I could be waiting my whole damn life So sick of the same old faces In this street, where nobody talks to me And the funny side of the situation is I don't care, I'll always be there When you come down from the sky And make yourself at home In my house Because these days it's the money the money The money, honey, or your life I said don't you know you can't have both Stop acting so dumb The moment will come I will find someone like you Something extra, (always happens baby to me) sorry baby I don't know why (something) Said I don't know why that is You may want to strip again You may want to let me in You may want to sacrifice More than you think is fair or right You may want to think again You may want to watch your friends You may want to change your mind You may wish you could turn back time.

    Letra

    Is that enough? I think it's over See, everything has changed And all this hatred may just make me strong enough To walk away They may chase me to the ends of the earth But I've got you babe And they may strip me of the things that I've worked for But I've had my say So hear me now I've enough of these chains I know they're of my making No one else to blame for where I stand today I've no memory of truth But suddenly the audience is so cruel So God, hey God you know why I'm through Through I guess it's tough, I guess I'm older And everything must change But all this cruelty and money instead of love People, have we no shame? They may chase me to the ends of the earth But I've got you babe And they may take away the things that I've worked for But you'll pull me through It's so clear to me now I've enough of these chains Life is there for the taking What kind of fool would remain in this cheap gilded cage I've no memory of truth But suddenly the audience is so cruel Oh God, I'm sorry I think I'm through I think I'm through I think I'm, I know I'm
