Lyrics

Beautiful Day
U2
(from »All That You Can't Leave Behind«)


The heart is a bloom
Shoots up through the stony ground
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
And you're not moving anywhere


You thought you'd found a friend
To take you out of this place
Someone you could lend a hand
In return for grace


It's a beautiful day
Sky falls, you feel like
It's a beautiful day
Don't let it get away


You're on the road
But you've 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


It's a beautiful day
Don't let it get away
It's a beautiful day


Touch me
Take me to that other place
Teach me
I know I'm not a hopeless case


See the world in green and blue
See China right in front of you
See the canyons broken by cloud
See the tuna fleets clearing the sea out
See the Bedouin fires at night
See the oil fields at first light
And see the bird with a leaf in her mouth
After the flood all the colors came out


It was a beautiful day
Don't let it get away
Beautiful day


Touch me
Take me to that other place
Reach me
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 it somehow
What you don't have you don't need it now
Don't need it now
Was a beautiful day

We will rock you
Queen


Buddy you're a boy make a big noise
Playin' in the street gonna be a big man some day
You got mud on yo' face
You big disgrace
Kickin' your can all over the place

We will we will rock you
We will we will rock you

Buddy you're a young man hard man
Shoutin' in the street gonna take on the world some day
You got blood on yo' face
You big disgrace
Wavin' your bann
er all over the place

We will we will rock you
We will we will rock you

Buddy you're an old man poor man
Pleadin' with your eyes gonna make you some peace some day
You got mud on your face
You big disgrace
Somebody better put you back in your place

We will we will rock you
We will we will rock you

Die Internationale


Wacht auf, Verdammte dieser Erde,
die stets man noch zum Hungern zwingt!
Das Recht wie Glut im Kraterherde
nun mit Macht zum Durchbruch dringt.
Reinen Tisch macht mit dem Bedränger!
Heer der Sklaven, wache auf!
Ein nichts zu sein, tragt es nicht länger
Alles zu werden, strömt zuhauf!

Völker, hört die Signale!
Auf, zum letzten Gefecht!
Die Internationale
Erkämpft das Menschenrecht
Es rettet uns kein höh'res Wesen
kein Gott, kein Kaiser, noch Tribun
Uns aus dem Elend zu erlösen
können wir nur selber tun!
Leeres Wort: des armen Rechte!
Leeres Wort: des Reichen Pflicht!
Unmündigt nennt man uns Knechte,
duldet die Schmach länger nicht!

Völker, hört...

In Stadt und Land, ihr Arbeitsleute,
wir sind die stärkste Partei'n
Die Müssiggänger schiebt beiseite!
Diese Welt muss unser sein;
Unser Blut sei nicht mehr der Raben
und der mächtigen Geier Frass!
Erst wenn wir sie vertrieben haben
dann scheint die Sonn' ohn' Unterlass!

Völker, hört...
