SINNER LYRICS

1. Respect

I had an Italian friend, killed by Italian skinheads
'Cause he drove a car with a German number plate
I had a German friend, trashed by German skinheads
Their only motive – he was black
There's no sense in burning a helpless child
No regrets, no argument why

We never forget, their leader is dead
They deal with death, our pulse goes over the edge
They've got no respect

Their targets are the weak,
Foreigners, the defenseless
A little, but loud minority wanna see fear in our eyes
Shaved heads, at home a child
On the streets a killing rat
Cowardly alone, a murder in the pack
Blood and Hooligans on every TV news
Cultures in rage and new frontiers

We never forget, their leader is dead
They deal with death, our pulse goes over the edge
They've got no respect

Humane race, black or white
It's up to you and me to reach out our hands
A necessary respect

No religion, no church, no politician
We're bored of hackneyed words instead of facts

We never forget, their leader is dead
They deal with death, our pulse goes over the edge
They've got no respect

Humane race, black or white
It's up to you and me to reach out our hands
A necessary respect

A little respect
They've got no respect
Just a little respect
A necessary respect

2. Things Get Started

I'm just a mile from heaven
I'm halfway through hell
They wanna save my soul
But I'm doin' it by myself

Gimme gimme just a little
More time, you can't undress me with your eyes
My independence and memories
I can't stand against forbidden things
I'm tired of waiting
Tangled in a web of desire
Your poisoned snake-bite
Standing in a line of fire

When the things get started – I'm running around
The tough gets go – ready to go
When the things get started – I'm doing on my knees
Oh oh – the tough gets go

I'm in the center of a hopeless storm
I don't lose thunder
Until my blood runs cold
Danger's looking in a little white dress
I'm losing a war inside of me
Virgin words, so fresh and new – what can I do?

I'm tired of waiting
Tangled in a web of desire
Your poisoned snake-bite
Standing in a line of fire

When the things get started – I'm running around
The tough gets go – ready to go
When the things get started – I'm doing on my knees
Oh oh – the tough gets go

Oh – the tough gets go

I'm tired of waiting
Tangled in a web of desire
Your poisoned snake-bite
Standing in a line of fire

When the things get started – I'm running around
The tough gets go – ready to go
When the things get started – I'm doing on my knees
Oh oh – the tough gets go

3. Fire In The Dark

There is something you are not saying
But I can see it when I look in your eyes
There is a game that you are playing
Oh babe, I can see it through your disguise
Shadows moving cross the bedroom
Slowly faded as they hiding from the light
How much more we hold out before
You break down and tell me
What you are trying to do
But if you don't there is so much that we can loose

Can't stop the boring rain
You can't hide your burning heart
You can't hide the fire in the dark
A fire in the dark

When you have any feelings
It don't make it easy for my heart
Whenever we are together
I know if you will say it
It will tear us apart

Can't stop the boring rain
You can't hide your burning heart
You can't hide the fire in the dark
Can't stop the boring rain
You can't hide your burning heart
You can't hide the fire in the dark

You can run, you can hide
But sooner or later you'll be mine
Don't hold back, don't hesitate
Make up your mind before it's too late

Can't stop the boring rain
You can't hide your burning heart
You can't hide the fire in the dark
Can't stop the boring rain
You can't hide your burning heart
You can't hide the fire in the dark

A fire in the dark

There is something you are not saying
But I can see it when I look in your eyes

4. Don't Let This Dream Die Young

Love is a child that's been hurt
Taken for granted too long
If silence speaks louder than words
Then maybe it's time to move on
Can you pick up the pieces of broken dreams
Or have we pushed it too far

How long can we go on
Have we come to end of the road
Can we bring back the hope or is it said and done
Don't let this dream die young

We had all we could pray for
Nothing could take that away
Then we woke up one day and nothing seemed right
Now we're dreaming on better days
But nothing is really as sad as it seems
If you look for the good in between

How long can we go on
Have we come to end of the road
Can we bring back the hope or is it said and done
Don't let this dream die young

A little hope, a little faith
We keep this dream alive
Love deserves a second chance
You belong by my side

But nothing is really as bad as it seems
If you look for the good in between

How long can we go on
Have we come to end of the road
Can we bring back the hope or is it said and done

How long can we go on
Have we come to end of the road
Can we bring back the hope or is it said and done
Don't let this dream die young

Die young

Can we bring back the hope or is it said and done
Don't let this dream die young

5. Modern World

Give me one good reason for a world like this
A disaster – the kiss of death
Shame on you and shame on me
Shame on you and shame on me
Darkest visions are reality
Can't read the future is it better there
We're one step closer 'til the end of time
The promise of peace is about to die

I lost all my belief in the church and politicians
When brother kills brother, it's no time for lies

This ain't no prayer – I say no no no
This ain't no prayer – For modern world
This ain't no prayer – I say no no no
This ain't no prayer – For modern world

See the evil behind their smiling masks
Can you imagine, what's going on inside of 'em
They sold the earth, the animals killed
They breed human machines without a will

I lost all my belief in the church and politicians
When brother kills brother, it's no time for lies

This ain't no prayer – I say no no no
This ain't no prayer – For modern world
This ain't no prayer – I say no no no
This ain't no prayer – For modern world

Give me one good reason for a world like this
Corruption – on poisoned sand
I'm bored of all discussion now
Clouds so dark like never before

I lost all my belief in the church and politicians
When brother kills brother, it's no time for lies

This ain't no prayer – I say no no no
This ain't no prayer – For modern world
This ain't no prayer – I say no no no
This ain't no prayer – For modern world

6. Beds Are Burning

[originally by Midnight Oil]

Out where the river broke
The bloodwood and the desert oak
Holden wrecks and boiling diesels
Steam in forty five degrees

The time has come
To say fair's fair
To pay the rent
To pay our share

The time has come
A fact's a fact
It belongs to them
Let's give it back

How can we dance
When our earth is turning
How do we sleep
While our beds are burning

How can we dance
When our earth is turning
How do we sleep
While our beds are burning

The time has come
To say fair's fair
To pay the rent
Now to pay our share

Four wheels scare the cockatoos
From Kintore East to Yuendemu
The western desert lives and breathes
In forty five degrees

The time has come
To say fair's fair
To pay the rent
To pay our share

The time has come
A fact's a fact
It belongs to them
Let's give it back

How can we dance
When our earth is turning
How do we sleep
While our beds are burning

How can we dance
When our earth is turning
How do we sleep
While our beds are burning

The time has come
To say fair's fair
To pay the rent now
To pay our share

The time has come
A fact's a fact
It belongs to them
We're gonna give it back

How can we dance
When our earth is turning
How do we sleep
While our beds are burning

The time has come
To say fair's fair
To pay the rent now
To pay our share

The time has come
A fact's a fact
It belongs to them
We're gonna give it back

7. Little Victory

We started as friends, let our hairs grow
We played Hendrix stuff
The untamed blood of rock'n'roll
We played every club, never give it up
Hometown heroes with little victories

A new start, a new step forward the next record should it be
Mistakes so many done before and cheated by the bizz
'Til the next contract
The professional deal
We got some great releases toured the land indeed
A thousand people chant
They're clapping their hands
I saw a lot of pictured of mine in the magazines

But trails instead of music
The sales were not the deal
The band broke up but we're still friends and jamming till today

Should I be
Or should I say I had enough
Should I be
I'm going straight when others talk
Got my records on the wall
Every bass a memory
This can't be defeat
It's my little, little victory

Next was the big thing
The money was there
Videos in the makin'
They know how a different thing
Friends if it works out great
Suckers if not
I remember when we started to rock

Oh now here I'm standing, not for the money just for fun
I spend so many years to rock
With the guts to rock on

Should I be
Or should I say I had enough
Should I be
I'm going straight when others talk
Got my records on the wall
Every bass a memory
This can't be defeat
It's my little, little victory

8. Every Little Step

As the sun goes down, we made a promise
That nothing will tear us apart
And we'll never pretending
I threw all the beers and vodkas away
For you I said goodbye to yesterday
There's no turning back
I don't play the game of truth and dare
There's nobody between us
You're all that I care

Every little step
I'll be with you
Every little step
That we've been through
Every little step
I told you, that we're going there through
My heart beats for you

I don't gave my heart for satisfaction
I need more than a pretty face
I left undone some sweet attractions
Peace and love is so hard to find
But I know some places where we can hide
To left our love grow

I don't play the game of truth and dare
There's nobody between us
You're all that I care

Every little step
I'll be with you
Every little step
That we've been through
Every little step
I told you, that we're going there through

There's something I know,
Something I know deep inside me
There is something I know,
You still got my belief
I really stand beside you

I built up a house around love and faith
With a wall around, nobody can burn down
This bound of love
This bound of love is too strong to break and nothing can tear us apart
Since our last day on earth

I don't play the game of truth and dare
There's nobody between us
You're all that I care

Every little step
I'll be with you
Every little step
That we've been through
Every little step
I told you, that we're going there through

Every little step
I'll be with you
Every little step
That we've been through
Every little step
I told you, that we're going there through
My heart beats for you

9. Believer

We are the victims, we are the fools
We are the mob the rules
Violation is discrimination
It's sad but it's true

The brown right arrow flies to kill we break into applause
Contaminated with disgrace
I'm waiting, still waiting

But I won't back down
I'm on this road too long
I will raise my son
Cause I'm a believer
Believer

Everything we do or say
Comes back into our lives
And hurts as good as our hits
I'm waiting – still waiting

But I'm not afraid
I don't think it's too late
Love creates and I'm a creator
And won't back down,
I'm on this road too long
I will raise my son 'cause I'm a believer, believer

10. Valley Of Tears

I must have been dreaming
While I'm sitting here alone
You and I together, it seems so long ago
We were friends, we were lovers, we were fools
I feel your heartbeat
Have I really lost it all?

Where Have our plans gone
The clouds pass by
I feel a raindrop falling from the sky
Moving circles I've lost your trace
I still see your face in every wave
Who was right and who was wrong
We're gone through deepest trouble
We need another chance

Give me just a piece of your heart
I keep it for me
I saw the valley of tears
Give me just a piece of your heart
I try to heel it – I saw the valley of tears

Going back to my hotel and I open up the door
The phone is ringing – I hear your voice
It's good to hear you two weeks gone by
My will as grouch no fortune, but I'm standing at your side

Who was right and who was wrong
We're gone through deepest trouble
We need another chance

Give me just a piece of your heart
I keep it for me
I saw the valley of tears
Give me just a piece of your heart
I try to heel it – I saw the valley of tears

You gave me passion
I've never crossed the secret ways
You gave tenderness, I'm not lying to myself

Who was right and who was wrong
We're gone through deepest trouble
We need another chance

Give me just a piece of your heart
I keep it for me
I saw the valley of tears
Give me just a piece of your heart
I try to heel it – I saw the valley of tears

11. Shattered Dreams

I've been up, I've been down
Got my hands on the trigger, my feet touch the ground
Up and down – see the world in motion
A dangerous ground

Oh oh – she's talks dirty
Oh oh – that girl she's hot – she's tough
When you see her dance you'll swear on her love
Let's keep it all together
Let's dream a dangerous dream

Where do we go
My heart is in your hands
Where do we go
It's forever – my heart is in your hands

My heart burns, my heart beats
My body steamin' from my head to my feet
You and me – baby we got our own destiny

Oh oh – a perfect combination
Oh oh – fascination
Me and you, we're far enough to break every rule

Let's keep it all together
Let's dream a dangerous dream

Where do we go
My heart is in your hands
Where do we go
It's forever – my heart is in your hands

You like the shattered dream
A man in love

I've been up, I've been down
Got my hands on the trigger, my feet touch the ground
Up and down – see the world in motion
A dangerous ground

Oh oh – she's talks dirty
Oh oh – that girl she's hot – she's tough
When you see her dance you'll swear on her love
Let's keep it all together
Let's dream a dangerous dream

Where do we go
My heart is in your hands
Where do we go
It's forever – my heart is in your hands

You like the shattered dream
A man in love

12. Knife In My Heart

The phone rings in the afternoon
I feel the coming for bad news
you're the knife in my heart
And made it bleed it outs so deep

You sold me your angel's smile
You promised me heaven but you played a game
You looked at me with those innocent eyes
Where you telling me lies

I'm walking down the lonely street at night
A broken heart, a broken dream, I'm a fool
But I'm still loving you – knife in my heart
It hurts so bad – knife in my heart
Leaving scars forever

In a world where love is lost
Returns the once in a lifetime feeling again
I'm not the kind of man
Who hides his feeling for you
I strolled down the streets with a six pages in my hands
There's still the hunger deep inside
You need me and nothing in the world could change it

I'm walking down the lonely street at night
A broken heart, a broken dream, I'm a fool
But I'm still loving you – knife in my heart
It hurts so bad – knife in my heart
Leaving scars forever

13. What's So Bad About Feeling Good

In the darkest night, I call your name
And I'm knocking at your door
I know talking is not touching
Our dreams have come and gone
Is it any wonder that I doubt on your real love
My heart won't believing
That our best days are gone...

Baby please, please tell me
What's so bad about feeling good
Baby please, please tell me
What's so bad about feeling good
If I don't act like the way I should

It was the longest night, I've ever spent alone
And I'm waiting desperately
I know it takes a little time
That our wounds will ever heel
Babe I feel the fire burning deep down in my soul
Things wound get better
If you stand up for our love

Baby please, please tell me
What's so bad about feeling good
I saw the border of heaven
But now these days are gone
Baby please, please tell me
What's so bad about feeling good
If I don't act like I really should

I feel the fire burning deep down in my soul
Things wound get better
If you stand up for our love

Baby please, please tell me
What's so bad about feeling good
I saw the border of heaven
But now these days are gone
Baby please, please tell me
What's so bad about feeling good
I saw the border of heaven
But now these days are gone
Baby please, please tell me
What's so bad about feeling good
If I don't act like I really should

How about feeling good?
