Copertine: fronte - retro |
| Sunday Bloody Sunday | Domenica |
| I can't believe the news today
I can't close my eyes and make it go away How long, How long must we sing this song? How long, how long ? 'Cos 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 Puts my back up against the wall Sunday, bloody Sunday Sunday, bloody Sunday Sunday, bloody Sunday Sunday, bloody Sunday Oh, let's go And the battle's just begun There's many lost, but tell me who has won? The trenches dug within our hearts And mothers, children, brothers, sisters Torn apart Sunday, bloody Sunday Sunday, bloody Sunday How long, How long must we sing this song ? How long, how long? 'Cos tonight We can be as one, tonight Sunday, bloody Sunday Sunday, bloody Sunday Wipe the tears from your eyes Wipe your tears away I'll wipe your tears away I'll wipe your tears away I'll wipe your bloodshot eyes Sunday, bloody Sunday Sunday, bloody Sunday And it's true we are immune When fact is fiction and TV 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 |

| Seconds | Secondi |
| Takes a second to say goodbye, say goodbye
Takes a second to say goodbye, say goodbye Oh, oh, oh, say bye-bye Where you going to now? Lightning flashes across the sky East to West, do and die Like a thief in the night See the world by candlelight Fall, rise and... Fall, rise and... In an apartment on Times Square You can assemble them anywhere Held to ransom, hell to pay A revolution every day U.S.S.R., G.D.R., London, New York, Peking It's the puppets, it's the puppets Pull the strings, yeah Fall, rise and... Fall, rise and... Say goodbye, say goodbye Say goodbye, say goodbye It takes a second to say goodbye Say goodbye, oh, oh, oh Push the button and pull the plug Say goodbye, oh, oh, oh Fall, rise and... Fall, rise and... And they're doing the atomic bomb Do they know where the dance comes from? Yes they're doing the atomic bomb They want you to sing along Say goodbye, say goodbye Say goodbye, say goodbye |

| New Year's Day | Capodanno |
| All is quiet 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 I... will be with you again I... will be with you again vUnder a blood-red sky A crowd has gathered in black and white Arms entwined, the chosen few The newspaper says, 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 Oh, oh. Oh, oh. Oh, oh Oh, maybe the time is right Oh, maybe tonight I will be with you again I will be with you again And so we are told this is the golden age And gold is the reason for the wars we wage Though I want to be with you Be with you night and day Nothing changes On New Year's Day On New Year's Day On New Year's Day |

| Like A Song... | Come una Canzone... |
| Like a song I have to sing
I sing it for you Like the words I have to bring I bring it for you And in leather, lace and chains We stake our claim Revolution once again No I won't I won't wear it on my sleeve I can see through this expression And you know I don't believe Too old to be told Exactly who are you? Tonight, tomorrow's too late And we love to wear a badge, a uniform And we love to fly a flag But I won't let others live in hell As we divide against each other And we fight amongst ourselves Too set in our ways To try to rearrange Too right to be wrong In this rebel song Let the bells ring out Let the bells ring out Is there nothing left? Is there, is there nothing? Is there nothing left? Is honesty what you want? A generation without name, ripped and torn Nothing to lose, nothing to gain Nothing at all And if you can't help yourself Well take a look around you When others need your time You say it's time to go... it's your time Angry words won't stop the fight Two wrongs won't make it right A new heart is what I need Oh, God make it bleed Is there nothing left |

You know I'll be there If you can I'll cross the sky for your love For I have promised For to be with you tonight And for the time that will come Take my hand You know I'll be there If you can I'll cross the sky for your love And I understand These winds and tides This change of times Won't drag you away Hold on, and hold on tightly Hold on, and don't let go Of my love The storms will pass, it won't be long now This love will last This love will last forever And take my hand, you know I'll be there If you can I'll cross the sky for your love Give you what I hold dear Hold on, hold on tightly Hold on, and hold on tightly Rise up, rise up with wings like eagles You run, you run You run and not grow weary Hold on, and hold on tightly Hold on, hold on tightly This love, lasts forever Now this love lasts forever |

| Two Hearts Beat As One | Due Cuori Battono Come Uno |
| I don't know, I don't know which side I'm on
I don't know my right from left Or my right from wrong They say I'm a fool They say I'm nothing But if I'm a fool for you Oh, that's something Two hearts beat as one Two hearts beat as one Two hearts I can't stop to dance Honey, this is my last chance I said, can't stop to dance Maybe this is my last chance Two hearts beat as one Two hearts beat as one Two hearts Beat on black, beat on white Beat on anything, don't get it right Beat on you, beat on me, beat on love I don't know How to say what's got to be said I don't know if it's black or white There's others see it red I don't get the answers right I'll leave that to you Is this love out of fashion Or is it the time of year? Are these words distraction To the words you wanna hear ? Two hearts beat as one Two hearts beat as one Two hearts I try to spit it out Try to explain. The way I wanna feel Oh, yeah, two hearts Well I can't stop to dance Maybe this is my last chance And I said, I can't stop to dance Maybe this is my last chance I said don't stop to dance Maybe this is my last chance I said I can't stop to dance Maybe this is our last chance I said don't stop to dance Maybe this is our last chance Oh, oh! |

| Red Light | Luce Rossa |
| Oh I talk to you, you walk away
You're still on the down beat You say you don't want my help But you can't escape If you're running from yourself I give you my love I give you my love Give you my love Still you walk away Well It's your own late show As you jump to the street below But where can you go To leave yourself behind? Alone in the spotlight of this Your own tragedy I give you my love Love I give you my love Give you my love I give you my love I give you my love I give you my love |

| Surrender | Arrenditi |
| Oh, the city's alight with lovers and lies
And bright blue eyes Oh, the city is bright It's brighter than day tonight (Surrender, surrender) (Surrender, surrender) Sadie said she couldn't work out What it was all about And so she let go Now Sadie's on the street And the people she meets you know She tried to be a good girl And a good wife Raise a good family Lead a good life It's not good enough She got herself up on the 48th floor Gotta find out Find out what she's living for Oh, the city's afire A passionate flame that knows me by name Oh, the city's desire To take me for more and more It's in the street gettin' under my feet It's in the air, it's everywhere I look for you It's in the things that I do and say And if I wanna live I gotta die to myself someday |

| "40" | |
| I waited patiently for the Lord
He inclined and heard my cry He brought me up out of the pit Out of the miry clay I will sing, sing a new song I will sing, sing a new song How long to sing this song? How long to sing this song? How long, how long, how long How long to sing this song? You set my feet upon a rock And made my footsteps firm Many will see, many will see and hear I will sing, sing a new song I will sing, sing a new song I will sing, sing a new song I will sing, sing a new song How long to sing this song? How long to sing this song? How long to sing this song? How long to sing this song? |
