Beautiful Day
Joyce Center
University of Notre Dame
South Bend, Indiana, USA
2001-10-10

The heart is a bloom
Shoots up through the stony ground
The heart is a bloom
The heart is a bloom
Shoots up…through stony ground
The heart is a bloom

Ahh...heart is a bloom, shoots up through the stony ground
But there’s no room, no space to rent in this town
You’re out of luck and the reason that you had to care
The traffic is stuck, you’re not moving anywhere
You thought you’d found a friend, to take you out of this place / Always
Someone that you could lend a hand, in return for grace / Always

It’s a beautiful day
The sky falls you feel like
It’s a beautiful day

You’re on the road, but you got no destination
You’re in the mud, in the maze of her imagination
You love this town, even if that doesn’t ring true
You’ve been all over, and it’s been all over you / Always

It’s a beautiful day
Don’t let it get away
Beautiful day

You can touch me now
Take me to that other place
You can teach me, love
I know I’m not a hopeless case, oh

See the world in green and blue
See China right in front of you
See the canyon broken by cloud
See the tuna fleet clearing the sea out
See the Bedouin fires at night
And see the oilfields at first light and
See the bird with the leaf in her mouth
After the flood all the colours came out

It was a beautiful day
Don’t let it get away
A beautiful day

You can touch me
Won’t you take me to that other place
Will you teach me, love
Yeah I know I’m not a hopeless case

What you don’t have you don’t need it now
What you don’t know you can feel somehow
What you don’t have you don’t need it now
Don’t need it now

Beautiful day, ah-ah-ah
(So intense, oh, so fierce)
(All my lies, all my sins)
Yea, ye-day, the day, day, no
Beautiful
(Beautiful)
(Beautiful)

Until The End Of The World
Joyce Center
University of Notre Dame

2001-10-10

Jesus, this is Judas

?...shoot me…? …save my

Haven't seen you in quite a while
I was down the hold just killing time
Last time we met it was a low-lit room
We were as close together as a bride and a groom
We broke the bread, we drank the wine
Everybody having a good time
Except you, you’re still talking
About the end of the world

I took the money
I spiked your drink
You miss too much these days if you stop to think
You led me on with those innocent eyes
You know I love the element of surprise
In the garden I was playing the tart
I kissed your lips, broke your heart
You, you were acting
Like it was the end of the world

Love, love, love
Love, love
Love, love
Love, love, love
Love, love
Ah...
 
In my dreams I was drowning my sorrows
My sorrows, they learned to swim
Surrounding me, going down on me
Spilling over the brim

Waves of regret, waves of joy
I reached out to the one I tried to destroy
You, you said you'd wait
'Til the end of the world

 (I want you inside)

La-da-da-da, la-da-da-da
La-da-da-da, da-da-da-da
La-da-da-da
(Sugar soul)
(Stay right)

Two tribes go to war
A point is all that you-you score

New Year’s Day
Joyce Center

2001-10-10

Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah

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

Under a blood-red sky
A crowd has gathered in black and white
Arms entwined like the chosen few
The newspaper said it’s true

They 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

Yeah-yeah oh, oh-oh-oh

La-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la
Hey

I will be with you again
I will be with you again
I will be with you again
I will be with you again
Again

[slaneman]

When Will I See You Again
Joyce Center

When will I see you again?
When will we share precious moments?
Will I have to wait…forever?
Will I have to suffer…whole life through?
When will I see you again?
When will I see you again?

Stuck In A Moment You Can’t Get Out Of
Joyce Center
University of Notre Dame
South Bend, Indiana, USA
2001-10-10

Yea-yeah, yeah now
All night, you can do it
Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

I'm not afraid of anything in this world
There's nothing you can throw at me
That I haven't already heard
I'm just trying to find a decent melody
A song that I can sing in my own company, yeah

I never thought you were a fool
But darling, look at you
You can stand up straight, carry your own weight
These tears are going nowhere, baby

You've got to get yourself together
You've got stuck in a moment now you can't get out of it
Don't say that later will be better
Now you're stuck in a moment and you can't get out of it

I will not forsake the colors that you bring
But the nights you filled with fireworks
They left you with nothing
I’m still enchanted by a light you brought to me
I still listen through your ears
Through your eyes I can see

You are such a fool
Why you worry like you do
I know it's tough and you can never get enough
Of what you don't really need now, my oh my

You've got to get yourself together
You've got stuck in a moment now you can't get out of it
Oh Lord, look at you now
Stuck in a moment and you can't get out

I was unconscious, half asleep
The water is warm till you discover how deep
I wasn't jumping, for me it was a fall
It's a long way down to nothing at all, oh
Yeah-yeah hey

You've got to get yourself together
You've got stuck in a moment and you can't get out of it
Don't say that later will be better
Now you're stuck in a moment and you can't get out

And if the night runs over
And if the day won't last
And if your way should falter
Along that stony pass
And if the night runs over / And if the night runs over
And if the days won't last / And if the days won’t last
And if your way should falter
Along that stony pass
It's just a moment, this time will pass

Wow

What’s Going On

2001-10-10

Mother, mother
There’s too many of you crying
And brothers
There’s too many of you dying
You know we’ve got to find a way
To bring some loving here today

Father, father
It’s no time to escalate
War is not the answer
For only love could conquer hate
You know we’ve got to find a way
To bring some loving here today

Barricades won’t block our way
Don’t punish me with brutality
Talk to me and we can see

What’s going on / What’s going on
What’s going on / What’s going on
What’s going on / What’s going on
What’s going on / What’s going on

Ooo...
Ooo...

(Some things went down)

Mother, mother
Everybody thinks we’re wrong
But who are they to tell us
Together we can be strong
You know we’ve got to find a way
To get some loving here today

Barricades won’t block our way
Don’t punish me with brutality
Talk to me and we can see

What’s going on / What’s going on
What’s going on / What’s going on
What’s going on / What’s going on
What’s going on / What’s going on

Ah…oh

Father, father
There’s too many of us crying
Father…father…
Father…father…father

New York
Joyce Center
University of Notre Dame

2001-10-10

New York
It’s some song, a lot of choices
In New York I found some friends
To drown out the other voices
Voices on a cell phone, voices from home
Are you all right, baby?
I’m staying alone
New York… I got a place in New York

In New York summers get hot
Well into the hundreds
You can't walk around the block
Without a change of clothing
Hot as a hairdryer in the space
You turn it up and you stake around the place
New York, just got a place… in New York

New York
New York
New York
New York
 
In New York you can forget, forget how to sit still
And in New York you can’t forget
Just how strong the city’s will

New York, New York
New York, New York
New York….ah-ooo
New York…ah
 
The Irish been coming here for years
Acting like they own the place
They got the airport, city hall, concrete, asphalt
They even got the police
Irish, Italians, Jews, Blacks, Hispanics
Religious nuts, political fanatics
Don’t belong, that’s not a New York kinda song
What’s goin’ on

New York, New York, New York

New York, ah-ooo
New York, ah-ooo

In New York…lost some solace
Midlife crisis
It’s not a problem
Just… too many choices

Hit an iceberg in my life
Yeah, I'm still afloat
I lost my balance, you lost your wife
In the queue for the lifeboat
Ya got to put the women, children first
I just got an unquenchable thirst for New York

New York, New York
New York, New York, New York

In the stillness of the evening
When the sun has had its day
I heard a voice whisper
Come away, child
New York

Ba-da-da-ba-da-da
Ba-da-da-ba-da-da
Ba-da-da-ba-da-da

New York…

Pride (In The Name Of Love)
Joyce Center
University of Notre Dame
South Bend, Indiana, USA
2001-10-10

One man comes in the name of love
One man he come and go
One man comes he to justify
One man to overthrow

In the name of love
One more in the name of love
In the name of love
One more in the name of love

One man caught on a barbed wire fence
One man he resist
One man washed up on an empty beach
One man betrayed with a kiss

In the name of love
One more in the name of love
In the name of love
One more in the name of love

Love, love, love, love, love

Mmm…

Early morning, April four
A shot rings out in the Memphis sky
Free at last, they took your life
They could not take your pride

In the name of love
One more in the name of love
In the name of love
One more in the name of love

Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh

In the name of love
(And soul….my soul and love)

Sunday Bloody Sunday
Joyce Center
University of Notre Dame
South Bend, Indiana, USA
2001-10-10

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

I can’t believe the news today
I can’t close my eyes, make it go away
How long, how long must we sing this song
How long, how long

Tonight, we can be as one
Tonight

Broken bottles under children’s feet
Bodies strewn across a dead end street
But I won’t heed the battle call
Puts my back up, my back up against a wall

Sunday bloody Sunday
Sunday bloody Sunday
Sunday bloody Sunday / Sunday bloody Sunday
Alright, let’s go
?
Come on, Scotty

This battle’s yet begun
There’s many lost, but tell me, who has won?
Trenches dug within our hearts
Brothers, children, brothers, sisters torn apart

Sunday bloody Sunday
Sunday bloody Sunday

How long, how long must we sing this song
How long, how long

Tonight, we can be as one
Tonight
Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight

Wipe your tears away
Wipe your tears away
Wipe your bloodshot eyes / Sunday bloody Sunday
Wipe your tears away / Sunday bloody Sunday
Sunday bloody Sunday  / Sunday bloody Sunday
Sunday bloody Sunday / Sunday bloody Sunday
We're so sick of it

And it’s true we are immune
When fact is fiction, TV a reality
And today the millions cry
We eat and drink while tomorrow they die
And the battle’s yet begun / Sunday bloody Sunday
To claim the victory Jesus won / Sunday bloody Sunday
On
Sunday bloody Sunday
Sunday bloody Sunday

(There’s some more song)

A state of heart
A state of mind
A state of heart
A state of mind
A state of spirit…for peace

Sunday bloody Sunday
Sunday bloody Sunday

Kite
Joyce Center
University of Notre Dame
South Bend, Indiana, USA
2001-10-10

The last time that we were in the area here, um, in um, in Chicago…
I know, I know
But it was close, and, and ah we went, I went home because um
I was, there was a baby due any minute and ah, anyway
The, the, the, the baby’s name is John, if you’re interested
This is a song that was written about ah, having, ah, children, and ah
And all that kind of thing
I thought it was written about my children, em
Anyway, sometimes you don’t know
Ah…this is called Kite

Something is about to give
I can feel it coming
Think I know what it is
I'm not afraid to die
Not afraid to live
And when I'm flat on my back
Hope to feel like I did

And hardness, it sets in
You need some protection
Thinner the skin
I want you to know
That you don't need me anymore
I want you to know
You don't need anyone or anything at all

Who's to say where the wind will take you
Who's to say what it is will break you
I don't know, which way the wind will blow
Who's to know when the time has gone awry
Don't wanna see you cry
But I know that this is not goodbye

In summer I can taste the salt of the sea
There's a kite blowing out of control on a breeze
I’m wondering what's gonna happen to you
You wonder what has happened to me
Edge

I'm a man…
And I'm not a child (somehow though)
I’m a man who sees
The shadow behind your eyes

Who's to say where the wind will take you
Who's to know what it is will break you
I don't know
Which way the wind will blow

Who's to know if the time has come around
I don't wanna see you cry
But I know that this is not goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye

Did I waste it
Not so much I couldn't taste it
Life should be fragrant
Rooftop to the basement
The last of the rock stars
When hip-hop drove the big cars
In the time when new media
Was the big idea
It was the big idea
Even at Notre Dame
Even at Notre Dame

In summer I can taste the salt of the sea
There’s a kite blowing out of control on a breeze
I’m wondering what’s gonna happen to you
You wonder what has happened…to me

Angel Of Harlem
Joyce Center
University of Notre Dame
South Bend, Indiana, USA
2001-10-10

It was a cold and wet December day
We touched the ground at JFK
Snow was melting on the ground
On BLS I heard the sound
Of an Angel
Edge

New York like a Christmas tree
Tonight this city belongs to me
Angel

Soul love
This love won't let me go
So long
Angel of Harlem
Lawrence

Birdland on 53
The street sounds like a symphony
John Coltrane and A Love Supreme
Miles and she’s got to be an angel

Lady Day got bloodshot eyes
She sees the truth behind the lies
Angel

Soul love
This love won't let me go
So long
Angel of Harlem

Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh, she’s heart and soul
Hey-yeah, yeah-yeah
Hey-yeah

Blue light on the avenue
God knows they got to you
An empty glass, the lady sings
Eyes swollen like a bee sting
Blinded, you lost your way
On the side streets and the ally way
Like a star exploding in the night
Filling up the city with broad daylight
An angel in Devil's shoes
Salvation in the blues
You never looked like an angel
So long
Angel of Harlem

Angel, Angel of Harlem
Angel of Harlem

[slaneman]

Staring At The Sun
Joyce Center
University of Notre Dame
South Bend, Indiana, USA
2001-10-10

Ah, Edge spends a lot of time on the internet
And uh
And uh this…he organized for tonight is a webcast that goes out
I just asked him how many people are gonna be listening in
And he said it was the whole universe
What we discovered this afternoon is there’s a whole universe
Here in Notre Dame, anyway
Some planets way on the edge there

Summer stretching on the grass
Summer dresses pass
In the shade of a willow tree
Creeps are crawling over me
Over me and over you
Stuck together with God's glue
It's gonna get stickier too
Been a long, hot summer
Let's get under cover
Don't try to think it out
Don't think at all

You’re not the only one
Staring at the sun
Afraid of what you'd find
If you took a look inside
I'm not just deaf and dumb
I'm staring at the sun
I'm not the only one
Whose happy to go blind

There's an insect in your ear
If you scratch it won't disappear
It's gonna itch and burn and sting
You wanna see what the scratching brings
Waves that leave me out of reach
Breaking on your back like a beach
Will we ever live in peace
'Cause those that can't do
Often have to
No those that can't do
Often have to preach

To the ones
Staring at the sun
Afraid of what you'd find
If you took a look inside
I'm not just deaf and dumb
I'm staring at the sun
I'm not the only one
Whose happy to go blind

Intransigence is all around
Military still in town
Armour plated suits and ties
Daddy just won't say goodbye
Referee won't blow the whistle
God is good but will he listen
I'm nearly great but something missing
I left it in the... duty free air
But you never really belonged to me

I'm not the only one
Staring at the sun
Afraid of what you'd find
If you took a look inside
I'm not just deaf and dumb
I'm staring at the sun
I’m not the only one
Whose ready to go blind

[slaneman]

Bad
Joyce Center
University of Notre Dame
South Bend, Indiana, USA
2001-10-10

If you twist and turn away
If you tear yourself in two again
If I could, you know I would
If I could I would, let it go

Surrender
Dislocate

If I could through myself
Set your spirit free
I’d lead your heart away
See you break, break away

Into the light
Through the day
Into the half light
Through the flame

Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh

To let it go
And so not fade away
To let it go, uh-huh
So not fade away

Wide awake
Wide awake
Wide awake
I’m not sleeping
Oh, no
I’m not sleeping

If they should ask
Well maybe they’d tell me
What I should say
True colors fly in blue and black
Bruised silken sky and like a burning flag
Colours crash, collide in bloodshot eyes

If I could, you know I would
If I could I would
Let it go

Separation
Separation, separation
Isolation, isolation
Now revelation, isolation
Now revelation, isolation

Let it go, uh-huh
So not fade away
To let it go
So not fade, fade
Fade away, fade away
Not fade away, no
Not fade away

I’m wide awake
Wide awake
Wide awake
I’m not sleeping

In Dublin’s fair city
Where the girls are so pretty
First lit my eyes on me Molly Malone
She wheeled a wheelbarrow
Through streets broad and narrow
Singing cockles and mussels, alive, alive-o

Alive, alive-o
Alive, alive-o
Singing cockles and mussels
Alive, alive-o
Alive, alive-o
Alive, alive-o
Singing cockles and mussels
Alive, alive-o

Where The Streets Have No Name
Joyce Center
University of Notre Dame

2001-10-10

What can I give back to God
For the blessings he poured out on me?
What can I give back to God
For the blessings he poured out on me?
For the blessings
For the blessings

Oh…

I want to run, I want to hide
I wanna tear down the walls that hold me inside
I wanna reach out and touch the flame
Where the streets have no name, oh-oh

I want to feel sunlight on my face
I see the dust cloud disappear without a trace
Wanna take shelter…like in vain
Where the streets have no name, oh-oh

Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name
Still building, then burning down love
Burning down love
And when I go there
I go there with you
It's all I can do

The city's a flood and our love turns to rust
We're beaten and blown by the wind and trampled in dust
Show you a place, no sorrow or pain
Where the streets have no name, oh-oh

Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name
Still building, then burning down love
Burning down love
And when I go there
I go there with you
It's all I can do

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Love, love, love
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name
Still building, then burning down love
We’re burning down love
And when I go there
So go there with you
It's all we can do

Thank you

I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For
Joyce Center
University of Notre Dame
South Bend, Indiana, USA
2001-10-10

I have climbed the highest mountains
I have run through the fields
Only to be with you
Only to be with you

I have run, I have crawled
I have scaled these city walls
These city walls
Only to be with you

But I still haven’t found what I’m looking for
(But I still haven’t found what I’m looking for)

I have kissed honey lips
Felt the healing in her fingertips
It burned like a fire
I was burning inside her

I have spoke with the tongue of angels
I have held the hand of the devil
It was warm in the night
It was cold as a stone

But I still haven’t found what I’m looking for
But I still haven’t found what I’m looking for

Take it to church
I try
We’re in a church

I believe in the kingdom come
Then all the colors will bleed into one
Bleed…but yes I’m still running
You broke the bonds, ya loosed the chains
You carried the cross, you took the shame
Took the blame
Ya know I believe it

But I still haven’t found what I’m looking for
But I still haven’t found what I’m looking for
But I still haven’t found what I’m looking for
But I still haven’t found…

Maybe
