Other People Are Us
By umberto tozzi
As sung by howard jones
Ive never been more lonely.
The night is closing in.
I wish for monday morning and the people of the town to heal me,
Opening themselves
Like flowers to a cruel sun.
Going thru the motions
With no chance to show their deep emotion.
Chorus
When they sing and cry
When they live and die
Cant we see other people, those people are us
Angels live inside
Vultures try to hide
In the mirrors we see other people are us
The walls are falling down with the breath of an idea.
See allah in the church and jesus in the mosque.
Our world is turning.
Heros leave behind miles (minds? ) of prejudice.
Cowards try to hold the easiness of our division.
Chorus
As the swallows fly thru leaves of africa
Do they cry as they witness our tears?
Will the hands of needs become the hand of greed?
There will be a time when those people are us.
Chorus x2
Living in the world of isolation
Of comfort and tranquility
But sooner or later in this whole world, those people are us
Chorus
Yes, we are all the same
The nations of the world
Young ones trapped by chemicals, no hope to carry on
The working families
Replaced by metal men
Travelers from the east in their suburban reservations
We are the victims
Of the ruling hands
There will come a time when those people are us

The World
The time is right for decision
The time is right for those with something to say
This is the world I envision
The type of world where people aren't afraid
Chorus
What in the world have we done
What in the world...
The time is right for revision
The time is right for revolution today
This is a world in sedition
This is a world that hasn't found its way
Chorus -- 2x
What in the world have we done
What in the world...
No time to fight for permission
No time is right for those who hesitate
This is a world in atrition
The world we live in is the world we make
Chorus -- 2x
What in the world have we done
What in the world...

People
Im forever struck
By the people in this town
And the way they go about their world
Have they given up
All the fun they used to have in adolescent xanadu
Everything is too much time and trouble
They must be seen as being respectable
Theyre too busy with their social climbing
Waiting for a rise
Chorus.
Why cant people just be people
When they were young
They would wish for the summer evenings that would never end
Now the days too long
And the key to life is locked away in childhood memories
Some people judge a man as reasonable
If the wine he buys is seasonable
Theyve time for friendship if its advantageous
And causes no pain
Chorus:
Why are people so deceitful
Why cant people just be people
There is more to the world
Than is offered by the soap and war found on the tv screen
And there is more to this life
If you would only take the time to look within and find the key
Dont believe words when theyre superficial
Dont put your trust in values artificial
Let your heart do the talking for a little
And feel yourself shine
Chorus:
Why cant people trust in people
Why cant people just be people
Find the time and youll realise
Life isnt too much time and trouble

Why Should I Love You? (feat. Prince)
this chapter says, put it out of your mind
and give it time
the violent purple
the purest gold
the red of the sacred heart
the grey of the ghost
the "l" of the lips are open
to the "o" of the host
the "v" of the velvet
CHORUS
of all the people in the world
why should I love you?
there's just something bout you
there's just something bout you
of all the people in the world
why should I love you?
have you ever seen a picture
of Jesus laughing
mmm do you think
he had a beautiful smile
a smile that healed
CHORUS
of all the people in the world
CHORUS
of all the people in the world
why should I love you

You Know Me
Oh baby
You know me
Verse1:
I know people say they know you
But they've each a different face to show you
Honest people don't they take you
When they know you and they say they hate you
Why don't we take the time
To get to know each other
Isn't it worth it

I've five fingers to count friends on

So glad i found you

Two Less Lonely People
(howard greenfield, ken hirsch)
I was down my dreams were wearing thin
When youre lost where do you begin
My heart always seemed to drift from day to day
Looking for the love than never came my way
Then you smiled and I reached out to you
I could tell you were lonely too
One look then it all began for you and me
The moment that we touched I knew that there would be
(chorus)
Two less lonely people in the world
And its gonna be fine
Out of all the people in the world
I just cant believe youre mine
In my life where everything was wrong
Something finally went right
Now theres two less lonely people
In the world tonight
Just to think what I might have missed
Looking back how did I exist
I dreamed, still I never thought Id come this far
But miracles come true, I know cause here we are

If I Ain't Got You
Some people live for the fortune
Some people live just for the fame
Some people live for the power, yeah
Some people live just to play the game
Some people think that the physical things
Define whats within
And Ive been there before
But that lifes a bore
So full of the superficial
Chorus:
Some people want it all
But I dont want nothing at all
If it aint you baby
If I aint got you baby
Some people want diamond rings
Some just want everything
But everything means nothing
If I aint got you, Yeah
Some people search for a fountain
That promises forever young
Some people need three dozen roses
And thats the only way to prove you love him
and me the world on a silver platter
And wondering what it means
With no one to share
with no one who truly cares for me
Chorus:
Some people want it all
But I dont want nothing at all
If it aint you baby
If I aint got you baby
Some people want diamond rings

Chorus 1:
War war is stupid
And people are stupid
And love means nothing
In some strange quarters
Chorus 2:
War war is stupid
And people are stupid
And I heard them banging
On hearts and fingers
People fill the world
With narrow confidence
Like a child at birth
A man with no defense
Whats mine is my own
I wont give it to you
No matter what you say
No matter what you do
Now were fighting
In our hearts
Fighting in the street
Wont somebody help me?
(chorus 1)

Man is far behind
In the search for something new
Like a philistine

Now were fighting
In our hearts
Fighting in the street
Wont somebody help me?

After the bird has flown
He walked ten thousand
Miles back home

Now were fighting
In our hearts
Fighting in the street
Wont somebody help me?

Then Ya Gone
Well.. Well well well well..hello baby
One day ya here and then ya gone..
[Chink rapping]
[Chorus]
One day ya here baby,
And then ya gone [4x]
See, everyday we complain about lil ups and downs
We needa be thanking the lord that we're still around
You'll never ever know when it is your time to go and
I know its hurtin so bad when we lose people that we love
Gotta use that example n try and straighten up
U gotta live everyday as if its ya last one
One minute ya here and the next day ya gone
[Chorus]
See lately I wake up in the morning
Wanting to cry, I bend my knees
And I raise my head up into the sky
Sometimes I just cant fight the
Feeling I have inside
See I always wished that you would
Be here right by my side
I'm glad I told you "I love you"
So much before you died
I knew you couldn't and wouldn't
Be here for very long
One minute ya here and the next day ya gone
[Chorus]
See, what I need
Is for ya'll to know
That living life
Can come and go
Ya gotta face reality
I want the world to sing wid me
Sometimes the world that we live in
Don't seem so fair or forgiven
See these streets are hard to survive in
Cuz all day you see people dying
I pray that one day we all see
That life aint promised to you
And life aint promised to me
Never forget this
And be clear, we don't know how long
We gon be here

Lonely World
when I reminisce ignorance was bliss,
back in the days where the magic exist
never be the same as it was, cuz the way it was
just another day in the maze of a myth
had a lot of fun living life on the run,
never had a chance to pause to get a better glance
everything was free and everything was fast
never even thought it wouldn't last
when you go the mind of a man in the middle
life is just a big fat riddle, so figure it out
always thinking that you know
everything little thing there is to know
buy you don't really know, ya know?
it's like love, some people get it
for some it's just a glove that just never fitted
for me it's just a pain in the ass
but i'm addicted to the taste of hopin' it could last
chorus
another day another night inside a lonely world
another game another fight inside a lonely world
another wrong another right inside a lonely world
such a lonely world, such a lonely world
who's the man (the man in the middle) x4
maybe i'm a target for people that are bitter
at least I can say that i've never been a quitter
I remember high school, man I hated high school
it was like prison with bullies always putting me down
just a little skater boy they could pick on
I learned to forgive'em, now I got the balls they can lick on
I loved sneakin' out when my mom was asleep
with my gothic girlfriend makin' love in the creek
with the mind of a man in the middle
it could be the end of the world as we know it
still I never want it all, and I never want it now
I just want to cruise, if I loose then i'll figure it out
how the times flies, even with the blink of an eye
when you're young you absorb like a sponge in disguise
then you get a little older and gather your thoughts
it's amazing what you learn
when you've never been taught, ya know?
chorus
no matter how hard I can try inside a lonely world
no one can hear me when I cry inside a lonely world
i'll never know the reasons why inside a lonely world
such a lonely world (such a lonely world)

Everybodys looking for a meaning
Everybodys doing their own thing

And some of us wonder

Givin into hope, and into trust
Maybe theres enough for everyone

People hold on
Dont do yourself wrong
People hold on
Weve got to be strong

Ohh life's so hard
Someday's you need something new to wear
Like a brand new hat

Try so hard
To work it out
People try to hold you back
On day's like that

Empty Hands
In the shadows of the smokestacks
Through the black snow, that lay on the land
Walked home one winter morning
With my live savings in my hand
Maryanne, shes fixin up some breakfast
Got the lights on, on the christmas tree
Sittin there, lookin up at an angel
With something dyin inside of me
Grew up with great expectations
Heard the promise and I knew the plan
They say people get what they deserve
But lord, sometimes its much worse than that
Maryanne, she takin in some laundry
I got a part time job in a drive-in stand
Oh lord, what did I do
To deserve these empty hands?
Chorus:
Across the cities
Across this land
Through the valleys
And across the sand
Too many people standin in line
Too many people with nothin planned
Theres too many people with
Empty hands
Now maryannes been cryin
lord knows, I love her the best I can
When my pride is bruised and broken
She slips her hand into my empty hands
Without hope, without love
Youve got nothing but pain
Just makes a man not give a dammn
Thats no way for us to live
Weve got to fill these empty hands
Chorus:
Across the cities
Across this land
Through the valleys
And across the sand
Too many people standin in line
Too many people with nothin planned
Theres too many people with
Empty hands

Did We Really Ever Try
(J.P. Maunick / M. Edwards)
Chorus:
Did we really ever try to understand each other?
Or was it just a game that sometimes people play?
Did we really ever see eye to eye, I wonder?
Was it just a game that sometimes people play?
[Sometimes people play]
I wonder if
We ever listened
To a word
That the other had to say
All that we shared
Our inner treasures
Are used against each other as we fall
Chorus
I wonder if
Before we started
We could have known
That the road would end this way
What makes us give
Our hearts so freely
Only to find that we're strangers after all
Chorus
Night and day, night and day, day and night
Night and day, people play, day and night
We fool ourselves
Into believing
Our difference will surely change in time
So we proceed
Blissfully blinded
Throwing caution to the wind along the way

Where Love Shines
(J.P. Maunick / S. Grey)
People gather together where the love shines
And everyone is truly free
There's a light on the world for you and me
Trip around the world
Take a good look around, tell me what you see
Everyday people looking for love
Yes they are searching
There's nothing in the world
Nothing else to be found, that can compare
With the power of love
Everyday we are yearning
Now gather together
>From every corner of the world
Let's open our minds to the light

So much anger and pain, life's a game
That we're losing
Stop the masquerade

Everyday they are praying
Now gather together
