Stand By Me
5-16-87
Brendan Byrne
When the night has come
And the land is dark
And the moon
Is the only light we'll see
Yeah!
No, I won't be afraid
No, I won't shed a tear
Just as long as you stand
Stand by me
(Here we go)
And darling, darling
Stand by me
Oh, now, now, now
Stand by me
Won't you stand
Won't you stand
Stand by me
And darling, darling
Stand by me
Oh, now, now, now
Stand by me
Won't you stand
Won't you stand
Stand by me
The Edge
When the night has come
And the land is dark / Land is dark
And the moon / And the moon
Is the only light we'll see / Is the only light we'll see
No, I won't be afraid
No, I won't shed a tear
Just as long as you stand / Just as long as you stand
Stand by me / Stand by me
And darling, darling
Stand by me
Oh, now, now, now
Stand by me
Won't you stand
Won't you stand
Stand by me
If the sky that we look upon
Should crumble and fall
And the mountains should tremble in the sea
No, I won't be afraid
No, I won't shed a tear
Just as long as you stand
Stand by me
And darling, darling
Stand by me
Oh, now, now, now
Stand by me
Won't you stand
Won't you stand
Stand by me
Yeah, summer's here and they're dancing in the streets alright

Sleep, sleep tonight
And may your dreams be realized
If the thunder cloud passes rain
So let it rain, rain down on he
Hmm...
So let it be
Hmm...
So let it be
Sleep, sleep tonight
And may your dreams be realized
If the thunder cloud passes rain
So let it rain, let it rain, rain on he

The Unforgettable Fire
Brendan Byrne
5-16-87
Some fires you can't put out
This is The Unforgettabe Fire
Ice
Your only rivers run cold
These city lights
They shine of silver and gold
Dug from the night
Your eyes as black as coal
Walk on by
Walk on through
Walk 'til you run
And don't look back
For here I am
Carnival
The wheels fly and colours spin
Through alcohol
Red wine that punctures the skin
Face to face
In a dry and waterless place
Walk on by
Walk on through
So sad to besiege your love so head on
Stay in this time
Stay tonight in a lie
I'm only asking but I think you know
Come on take me away
Come on take me home
Come on take me away
We're home again
Home again Edge
(Tonight I can stay here forever)
(Tonight I can sleep forever)
(Tonight I can stay forever)
And if the mountain should crumble
Or disappear into the sea
Not a tear, no not I
Stay in this time
Stay tonight in a lie
I’m only asking but I think you know
Stay in this time
Stay tonight
Ever after this love inside
And if you save your love
Save it all
Well don't push me too far
Don't push me too far...tonight
Tonight, tonight

Bullet The Blue Sky
Brendan Byrne
5-16-87
From the howling wind comes a stinging rain
See 'em driving nails into the souls on the tree of pain
From the firefly, a red orange glow
I see the face of fear see it scared in the valley below
Sky / Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Sky / Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Bullet the blue sky / Sky
Bullet the blue sky / Sky
Bullet the blue / Sky
Bullet the blue / Sky
In the locust wind, comes a rattle and hum
Jacob wrestled the angel and the angel was overcome
You plant a demon seed, you raise a flower of fire
I see them burning crosses, see the flames higher and higher
Sky / Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Sky / Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Bullet the blue sky / Sky
Bullet the blue sky / Sky
Bullet the blue / Sky
Bullet the blue / Sky
Glory glory hallelujah
Yeah
So this guy comes up to me, see
His face red like a rose on a thorn bush
Like all the colours of a royal flush
And he's peeling off those dollar bills
Slapping 'em down
One hundred… two hundred
And president Reagan comes up to me
With his buddy Oliver North comes up to me
And his other buddy Mr. Gorbacek comes up to me
And I can see those fighter planes
Across the mud huts where the children sleep
And through the valleys and the quiet city streets
We take the staircase to the first floor
We turn the key and slowly unlock the door
A man breathes into a saxophone
And through the walls we hear the city groan
Outside it's America
But tonight it's New Jersey
Yeah!
Yeah
So I took my buddy President Reagan
On a walk through New Jersey
I came across this big... concrete... building
Called, The Meadowlands
And I said to President Reagan
Here...we can blow the roof off
And we don't even need explosives
And this is my kind of America
This is my kind of America
When I go back to my hotel room
And I turn on the television
I'll still see those fighter planes
Pelting the women and children
Pelting the women and children
Who run...who run...
Into the arms... of America
