Bruce *****burn - All's Quiet On The Inner City Front - lyrics

blue billboard on the roof next door
makes a square of light on the kitchen floor
smokes rises from a cigarette
there's a dull glisten where the table's wet
soft breath rises from the bed
a thousand question marks over my head
turn on the tube but there's nothing new
the usual panic in red, white and blue
"military advisors" marching in the square
knife-sharp trouser creases slicing air
private armies on suburban lawns
shoulders braced against the tidal dawn
all's quiet on the inner city front
i don't know why i should but i feel content
bell in the fire station tower
rings out the measure of the racing hours
i slip through the door to the roof outside
to gaze at the sign hanging in the sky
that sailor on the billboard looks so self-possessed
doesn't have a thing to forgive or forget
all's quiet on the inner city front.

Bruce *****burn - A Life Story - lyrics

Sky-wild
Far cry
Wings-slash-free
Christ is born for you and me
Wind rush
Reed bend
Storm tossed sea
Christ is nailed upon a tree
Mists part
Sunrise
Shining key
Christ is risen to lead us free

Bruce *****burn - A Montreal Song - lyrics

I turned on the TV war news
Just to look and wonder why
Thunder crashed and red flash-flowers
bloomed a nightmare in the sky
So I went down to the cafe
Just to string myself along
On the way i found some riches --
Played the jukebox, got this song
While I sat there a ragged man came --
Bummed a coffee, talked awhile
Told me stories full of wonder --
Left me laughing like a well-loved child

Bruce *****burn - And We Dance - lyrics

Midnight flight
Fullmoon light
Laughter in the air
It's a party all right
Slate-blue clouds
Iridescent sea
I'm heading for you
And you're headed for me
and we dance and we dance
and we dance...
Down there in the realm of power
Somebody's manicured hands
Play the Ace of Influence
Against the Jack of Demands
I reach of the deck --
Draw the seven of hearts --
Doesn't mean the world
But it's a better place to start
and we dance and we dance
and we dance...
Paradox and contrast
Variety and change
History repeats
But it's never the same
We've got this time
We've got this rhythm
Till the whole thing comes apart
Like light through a prism
and we dance and we dance
and we dance...

Bruce *****burn - After The Rain - lyrics

After the rain in the streets light flows like blood
I can just taste salt on the humid wind
Here comes that gasoline
Spreading hungry rainbow over shiny black tar
I'm blown like smoke and blind as wind
Except for when your love breaks in
Maybe to those who love is given sight
To pierce the wall of seeming night
And know it pure beyond all imagining
Engine throb street cruise light bullet car flash
Hollow beauty night gleam oily river tension glass
Ultraflame! Glittering dust falling in slow motion
Clouds tumbling one over another into apparent emptiness
It's like a big fist breaking down my door
I never felt such a love before
Maybe to those who love it's given to hear
Music too high for the human ear
And clear as hydrogen to go singing

Bruce *****burn - Anything Can Happen - lyrics

=================
you could have gone off the Bloor St. viaduct
i could have been run down in the street
you could have got botulism anytime
i could have gone overboard into the sea
anything can happen
to put out the light
is it any wonder
i don't want to say goodnight
i could have been hit by a flying pane of glass
you could have had shark teeth write "finit"
we could have been nailed by some vigilante type
in a case of mistaken identity - obviously
anything can happen
to put out the light
is it any wonder
i don't want to say goodnight
we could have been lynched and tarred and feathered
been on a plane that crashed in flames
could have done the neutron melt together
but here we are just the same!
you could have been daggered in the dead of night
you could have been gassed inside your car
i could have been walking in the open fields
and been drilled though the head by a shooting star
anything can happen
to put out the light
is it any wonder
i don't want to say goodnight

Bruce *****burn - A Dream Like Mine - lyrics

(CHORUS:)
When you've got a dream like mine
Nobody can take you down
When you've got a dream like mine
Nobody can push you around
Today I dream of how it used to be
Things were different before
The picture shifts to how it's going to be
Balance restored
When you know even for a moment
That it's your time
Then you can walk with the power
Of a thousand generations
(Chorus)
Beautiful rocks -- beautiful grass
Beautiful soil where they both combine
Beautiful river -- covering sky
Never thought of possession, but all this was mine
When you know even for a moment
That it's your time
Then you can walk with the power
Of a thousand generations
(Chorus)

Bruce *****burn - All The Diamonds In The World - lyrics

All the diamonds in this world
That mean anything to me
Are conjured up by wind and sunlight
Sparkling on the sea
I ran aground in a harbour town
Lost the taste for being free
Thank God He sent some gull-chased ship
To carry me to sea
Two thousand years and half a world away
Dying trees still grow greener when you pray
Silver scales flash bright and fade
In reeds along the shore
Like a pearl in sea of liquid jade
His ship comes shining
Like a crystal swan in a sky of suns
His ship comes shining

Bruce *****burn - Actions Speak Louder - lyrics

(Instrumental)
("Actions Speak Louder" was composed as the theme for the documentary film "The Greenpeace Years.")

Bruce *****burn - All Our Dark Tomorrows - lyrics

The village idiot takes the throne
His the wind in which all must sway
All sane people, die now
Be lifted up and carried away
Youve got no home in this world of sorrows'
Theres a parasite feeding on
Everybodys bag of rage
What goes out returns again
To smite the mouth and burn the page
Under the rain of all our dark tomorrows
I can see in the dark its where I used to live
I see excess and the gaping need
Follow the money see where it leads
Its to shrunken men stuffed up with greed
They meet and make plans in strange half-lit tableaux
Under the rain of all our dark tomorrows
Youve got no home in this world of sorrows
