Words & music : M. Dellow Watch
the
man
of
science
holding
his
head way
up
high; Hear
the
man
of
war
screaming
out
his
battle
cry; See
the
man
of
peace
cover
up
his
weary
eyes; The
fireball
spins Spectacular
sins The
battle
may
begin. The
prophet
tells
the
tales
of
the
soldiers
who
survive; His
naked
words
of
truth
become
the
legend
of
their
lives; He
tried
to
stop
the
war
before
his
blood
ran
from
their
knives; They
turned
him
away Would
not
let
him
play The
battle’s
under
way. Now
the
corpses
lay
strewn
across
the
battle
floor; Sacred
now
the
graves
of
the
men
who
kept
the
score; Nothing
left
to
lose
and
nothing
more
worth
dying
for; A
man
with
a
gun Killed
everyone The
battle
now
is
done. |

When
moonlight
dies
and
rainbows
shatter
in
the
sky You’ll
realise there’s
more to
life than
you and
I And as each
raindrop hits
the ground And disappears without
a sound
We used to
lay beneath
a canopy
of stars, But now you
say your
heart will
always bear
the scars But if that’s
true I’m
not to
blame And yet you
hurt me
just the
same …
I don’t know
you any
more - I don’t know
you any
more ; It seems whatever
I thought
we had Was just one
more good
dream gone
bad Please
don’t let
it be.
I did no
wrong :
I tried to
be the
perfect wife, But it took
too long,
and it
seems you
want some
other life. Looks
like the
dream is
over now When
all is
said and
done, just
how wrong
can you
be?
You used to
say there
was no
hill we
couldn’t climb; Now I just
pray that
you get
the kids
back home
on time. It goes to
show, you
just can’t
tell; I thought I
knew you
oh so well …
I don’t know
you any
more - Now I know
nothing you
said was
true And there is
nothing more
I can do Please
don’t let
it be.
I don’t know
you any
more - I don’t know
you any
more ; It seems whatever I thought we had Was just one
more good
dream gone
bad Now I know
nothing you
said was
true And there is
nothing more
I can do We said we’d
never be
less than
friends But a heart
once broken
never mends; Is this really
the end? I guess this
is the
end.
I don’t know
you any
more ; I don’t trust
you any
more ; Don’t
care for
you any
more ; I don’t want
you any
more ; Can’t
live with
you any
more ; I don’t need
you any
more ; Can’t
bleed for
you any
more ; I don’t love
you any
more. |

Words
& Music
: M.
Dellow I
don’t
need
no
jailer’s
key
to
break
this
ball
and
chain; I
don’t
need
no
holy
cross
to
take
away
the
pain. I
don’t
need
to
compromise
or
stop
and
think
again Because
no
matter
where
you
go Though
storm
tides
ebb
and
flow You’ve
simply
got
to
know
I’m
lost
in
you. I
don’t
need
no
naked
truth
to
make
me
see
the
light; I
don’t
need
no
Bible
verse
to
know
I’ve
got
it
right I
just
need
to
hear
your
voice
to
get
me
through
the
night Because
there
is
no
other
way To
end
this
perfect
day; No
matter
what
you
say,
I’m
lost
in
you. Don’t
need the
conscience
of
the
king, Don’t
need
to
see
no
wedding
ring; I
just
need
to
tell
you
everything. Don’t
need
to
question
what
I’ve
got; Don’t
need
to
know
how,
when
or
what; I’m
with
you
even
when
I’m
not. Don’t
need
to
see
beyond
the
lies, Don’t
need
to
make
you
realise, I
just
want
to
vanish
in
your
eyes. Don’t
need
no
other
points
of
view; When
all
is
said
and
done,
it’s
true
: I
am
forever
lost
in
you. |

Words
& music
: M.
Dellow Promise me life for a handful of dreams Life
is
a
story
that’s
not
what
it
seems. Promise
me
life,
I
will
promise
you
pain. Promise
me
death
and
I’ll
promise
you
gain.
Promise
me
wealth;
I
will
promise
you
greed. Promise
me
failure
and
I
will
succeed. Show
me
corruption
and
I’ll
show
you
power; Give
me
the
seed;
I
will
show
you
the
flower.
Give
me
your
fears
-
I
will make
them
take
flight; Give
me
your
dreams
-
I
will
come
in
the
night. Promise
me
freedom,
I’ll
build
you
a
cage. Promise
me
laughter
and
then
leave
the
stage. Promise
me
faith
and
I’ll
promise
you
doubt; Promise
me
truth
and
I
will
find
you
out. Give
me
salvation,
don’t
speak
of
the
price, Or
give
me
damnation
and
keep
Paradise. Don’t
love
me
or
hate
me, Don’t
praise
or
berate
me, Don’t
evaluate
me Or
anticipate
me. Don’t
take
me
or
leave me, Don’t
seek
to
deceive
me, Betray
or
bereave
me, But
only
believe
me.
Promise
me
love,
I
will
promise
you
lust; Show
me
commitment,
I’ll
show
you
mistrust. Promise
me
love,
for
what
more
could
I
need? Promise
me
shelter
and then
let
me
bleed. Promise
me
war
-
let
the
battle
cries
ring; Promise
me
peace
-
there is
no
such
thing. Promise
me
everything
Heaven
can
bless; Promise
me
nothing
for
that’s
all
you
possess. Promise
me
wisdom
or
promise
me
wealth; Leave
me
in
sickness
but
take
me
in
health. Promise
me
knowledge,
my
soul
to
entrance; Promise
me
ignorance
-
I’ll
take
my
chance. Promise
me
hope
in
the
depth
of
despair; Promise
you’ll
stay
but
don’t
promise
you’ll
care. Promise
me
day
in
the
blackest
of
night; Then
snuff
out
my
spirit
and
turn
out
the
light. Promise
me
mercy
then
put
me
to
sleep And
do
not
make
promises
you
cannot
keep.

Words
& Music
: M.
Dellow Don’t
measure
separation
by
the
numbers
on
a
dial; Don’t
speak
to
me
of
sadness
or
spend
your
life
on
trial. Don’t
ask
me
if
I
understand
or
hunger
to
be
free ‘Cause
where
you
are
is
where
I
want
to
be. Don’t
look
for
explanations
in
the mysteries
of
the soul; Don’t
try
to
fathom
fate
for
it
is
out
of
your
control. Don’t
second-guess
your
destiny
or
believe
in
all
you
see ‘Cause
where
you
are
is
where
you’re
meant
to
be. And
as
we
watch
the
teardrops
fall And
wander
blindly
through
it all, I
sometimes
think
that
we
just
lost
our
guiding
star; I
wonder
where
you
are? Don’t
seek
divine
forgiveness
or
repent
your
earthly
sins; Don’t
waste
your
life
in
battlefields
where
no-one
ever
wins. Don’t
look
for
hidden
meanings
in
the
words
of
simple
songs ‘Cause
where
you
are
is
where
my
heart
belongs. Don’t
question
your
ability
to
recognise
the
signs; Don’t
try
to
psychoanalyse
or
read
between
the
lines. Don’t
ever
try
to
justify
the
things
you
say
and
do ‘Cause
where
you
are,
there’s
no-one
else
but
you. And
though
the
darkness
took
our
dreams, Nothing
is
ever
what
it
seems; And
though
you
think
that
you
have
lost
your
guiding
star I
know
just
where
you
are. Don’t
calculate
confusion
when
you’re
buried
deep
in
lies; Don’t
try
to
see
the
answers
when
the
questions
blind
your
eyes. Don’t
question
my
belief
or
look
for
reason
in
the
rhyme ‘Cause
I’ll
be
where
you
are
in
all
good
time. I’ll
be
where
you
are
in
all
good
time. |
