GARY MOORE

Out In The Fields

It doesn't matter
If you're wrong or if you're right
It makes no difference
If you're black or if you're white

All men are equal

Till the victory is won
No colour or religion
Ever stopped the bullet from a gun

Out in the fields

The fighting has begun
Out on the streets
They're falling one by one
Out from the skies
A thousand more will die each day
Death is just a heartbeat away

It doesn't matter
If you're left or to the right
Don't try to hide behind the cause
They want to fight

There'll be no prisoners taken

When the day is done
No flag, no uniform
Ever stopped the bullet from a gun

Out in the fields

The fighting has begun
Out on the streets
They're falling one by one
Out from the skies
A thousand more will die each day
Death is just a heartbeat away

There's no communication
No one to take the blame
The cries of every nation
They're falling on deaf ears again

Out in the fields

Out in the fields
They're falling one by one
Out in the fields
No flag has ever stopped
The bullet from a gun

Death is just a heartbeat away

Out in the fields
A heartbeat away
 Out in the fields
Death is just a heartbeat away
Out in the fields
A heartbeat away
Out in the fields

In the fields
The fighting has begun
Out on the streets
They're falling one by one
Out from the skies
A thousand more will die each day
Over The Hills And Far Away

They came for him one winter's night

Arrested, he was bound
They said there'd been a robbery
His pistol had been found

They marched him to the station house

He waited till the dawn
And as they led him to the dock
He knew that he'd been wronged
You stand accused of robbery
He heard the bailiff say
He knew without an alibi
Tomorrow's light would mourn his freedom

Over the hills and far away

For ten long years he'll count the days
Over the mountains and the seas
A prisoner's life for him there'll be

He knew that it would cost him deer

But yet he dare not say
Just where he had been that fateful night
A secret it must stay
He had to fight back tears of rage
His heart beat like a drum
For with the wife of his best friend
He'd spent his final night of freedom

Over the hills and far away

He swears he will return one day
Far from the mountains and the seas
Back in her arms again he'll be
Over the hills and far away

Each night within his prison cell

He looks out through the bars
He reads the letters that she wrote
One day he'll know the taste of freedom

Over the hills and far away

She prays he will return one day
 As sure as the rivers reach the seas
Back in his arms again she'll be

Over the hills and far away

He swears he will return one day
As sure as the river reach the sea
Back in his arms is where she'll be

Over the hills and far away

She prays he will return one day
As sure as the rivers reach the seas
Back in her arms is where he'll be

Over the hills

Over the hills and far away

Over the hills

Over the hills and far away

Run For Cover

Run, run
Run, run

Run, you'd better find somewhere to run

You've made a fool of everybody
But you're not fooling anyone

Hide, you always need someplace to hide

But you can't hide from what's inside yourself
You just can't face it

Run, run for cover now

You'd better run for cover now
You'd better find some other place to hide
From loneliness inside

You'd better run

Run for cover now
You'd better run for cover now
Before it gets too late

Run, you're gonna run like out of time

You let the suffering behind now
And all the years have passed you by

Lies, I used to listen to you

Lies, but now I've learned to read between the lines
I've got your number

Run, run for cover now

You'd better run for cover now
You'd better find some other place to hide
From loneliness inside
 You'd better run
Run for cover now
You'd better run for cover now
Before it gets too late

Run, run for cover now

You'd better run for cover now
You'd better find some other place to hide
From loneliness inside

You'd better run

Run for cover now
You'd better run for cover now
You'd better find some other place to hide
What's eating you inside

You'd better run

Run for cover now
You'd better run for cover now
Yeah

Run for cover

Run - run - run - run
Run - run - run - run
Run - run - run - run
Yeah
Parisienne Walkways

I remember Paris in '49.

The Champs Elysee, San Michelle
And old Beauolais wine.
And I recall that you were mine
In those Parisienne days.

Looking back at the photographs.

Those summerdays spent outside corner cafes.
Oh, I could write you paragraphs,
About my old Parisienne days.

Empty Rooms

Loneliness is your only friend.

A broken heart that just won't mend
Is the price you pay.

It's hard to take when love grows old.

The days are long and the nights turn cold
When it fades away.

You hope that she will change her mind

But the days drift on and on.
You'll never know the reason why she's gone.

You see her face in every crowd.

 You hear her voice, but you're still proud
So you turn away.

You tell yourself that you'll be strong.

But your heart tells you
This time you're wrong.

You hope that she will change her mind

But the days drift on and on.
You'll never know the reason why she's gone.

Empty rooms
Where we learn to live without love.
Empty rooms
Where we learn to live without love.
Empty rooms
Where we learn to live without love.

Empty rooms
Where we learn to live without love.
Empty rooms
Where we learn to live without love.
Empty rooms
Where we learn to live without love.
Empty rooms
Where we learn to live without love.

All alone in an empty room.

Lonliness is your only friend.
Oh, she's gone and you're at the end.
Military Man

Papa take a look at your boy

He's a military man
Papa take a look at your boy
He's crying
Papa take a look at your boy
He's a soldier
Papa take a look in his eyes
They're colder

Papa take a look at your boy

He's a military man
Mama take a look at your boy
He's dying
Mama take a look at your boy
He's fighting
Mama take a look at your boy
He's frightened

They have trained your boy to kill

And kill someday he will
They have trained your boy to die
And ask no questions why
 Papa take a look at your boy
Take a look at your boy
Take a look at your boy
He's a killer, yeah

Mama take a look at your boy

Take a look at him now
Take a look at your boy
He's a soldier, he's colder, he's older, mama

Mama take a look at your boy

Obey the order
Mama take a look at your boy
Like a lamb to the slaughter

They have trained your boy to kill

And kill someday he will
They have trained your boy to die
And ask no questions why

One day, I will write for you a lovesong mother

As the children say, I love you, please hold me
And you and I, we will live our life together
Until that day when we die, I will love you mother
I will always love you

I'am writing from this war

Oh mama, I don't know what I'm fighting for
And have you seen my children?
God bless them, kiss them
And tell them that I miss them

See I'm frightened in the dark

Mama, mama
The blood is ankle-deep
They have trained your boy to kill
And kill someday he will
They have trained your boy to die

Mama take a look at your boy

Take a look at him now
Take a look at your boy
He's marching
He's a soldier

Oh brother, oh mama
He's on the street
He's marching to the backbeat
After The War

So many came before you,

The prisoners of fate.
A history of bloodshed,
A legacy of hate.
But where will you be standing
 When the battles have been won?
Inside your lonely fortress
The battle's just begun.

After the war

Who will you be fighting for?
After the war is over.
After the fire
Is burning to its dying embers.
After the war.

A letter from the draft board,

Put pain to all your dreams.
You're just another number
In military schemes.
They marched you in a uniform
You wore against your will.
With lies of hope and glory,
They taught you how to kill.

After the war

Who will you be fighting for?
After the war is over.
After the fire
Is burning to its dying embers.
After the war.

After the war,

You thought you'd be a hero.
After all that you survived.
If hell was meant for heroes,
You'd surely have arrived.

After the war.

After the war.

After the war

who will you be fighting for?
After the war
who will you be fighting for?
After the fire
is burning to its dying embers.
After the war.
Cold Day In Hell

So many times you tried to take the best of me.

So many times, now you're gonna take the rest of me.
Better look at what you're doing before it's too late.
It's a fine line you're treadin' between love and hate.
There'll be a cold day in hell
before I'm coming back to you.

So many times you tried to play a dead end game.

Yes, you did.
I tried to tell you, but you'd never wanna take the blame.
Now you've pushed me to the limit, and I can't take no more.
You'd better take one last look before I'm out the door.
There'll be a cold day in hell
before I'm coming back to you.

You never listened when I told you

that you were way out of line.
Too busy talkin' to listen,
accusing me of telling lies.

So many times you tried to get the best of me.

Yes, you did.
So many times, but now you're gonna take the rest of me.
Well, it's too late for sorry and it's too late for tears.
Better take one last look before I disappear.
There'll be a cold day in hell
before I'm coming back to you.

There'll be a cold day in hell

before I'm coming back to you.
There'll be a cold day in hell
before I'm coming back to you.
Yeah!
Wild Frontier

I remember the old country

They call the emerald land
And I remember my hometown
Before the war began

Now we're riding on a sea of rage

The victims you have seen
You'll never hear them sing again
The Forty Shades Of Green

We're goin' back to the wild frontier

Back to the wild frontier, it's calling
Back to the wild frontier
We're goin' back
Back to the wild frontier

I remember my city streets

Before the soldiers came
Now armoured cars and barricades
Remind us of our shame

We are drowning in a sea of blood

The victims you have seen
Never more to sing again
The Forty Shades Of Green

We're goin' back to the wild frontier

Back to the wild frontier, it's calling
Back to the wild frontier
Back to the wild frontier, it's calling
 Those are the days I will remember
Those are the days I most recall
We count the cost of those we lost
And pray it's not in vain
The bitter tears of all those years
I hope we live to see those days again

Now we're riding on a sea of rage

The victims you have seen
You'll never hear us sing again
The Forty Shades Of Green

And I remember a friend of mine

So sad now that he's gone
They tell me I'll forget
As time goes on

We're goin' back to the wild frontier

Back to the wild frontier, it's calling
Back to the wild frontier
We're goin' back
Back to the wild frontier
Back to the wild frontier
Back to the wild frontier

Those forty shades of green

Are calling me back home

Ooh, we're goin' back

Back to the wild frontier
I'm goin' back
Back to the wild frontier
Still In Love With You

I think I'll just fall to pieces

If I don't find something else to do
This sadness never ceases
Woman, I'm still in love with you

My head, it keeps on reeling

It's got me in a crazy spin
Oh, Darling, darling, darling, darling
Is this the end?

Still in love with you

So people say time has a way of healing

And it can dry all the tears from your eyes
Oh but darling they don`t tell you
About this empty feeling
And I can not disguise it

After all that we've been through

I try my best but it's no use
 I`ll always keep on loving you
Is this the end?

Still in love with you

Now that it's all over

Woman, there's something I think you should know
Baby, baby, you might think it over
Just one more time before you go

Call on me baby
If there's anything I can do for you
Call on me baby, baby
Help me see it through

I'm still in love with you

Wishing Well

Take off your hat, kick off your shoes.

You know you ain't goin' anywhere.
Spend all your time singin' your blues.
You know you ain't goin' anywhere.

You've always been a good friend of mine

But you always say farewell.
And the only time that you're satisfied
Is with your feet in the wishing well.
In the wishing well.

Throw down your gun, you might shoot yourself.

Or is that what you're tryin' to do?
Put up a fight you believe to be right
And one day the sun will shine through.

You've always got somethin' to hide.

Somethin' you just can't tell.
And the only time that you're satisfied,
Is with your feet in the wishing well.
In the wishing well.

But I know what you're wishing for.

Love in a peaceful world.
Love in a peaceful world.
Love in a peaceful world.

You've always been a good friend of mine

But you always say farewell.
And the only time that you're satisfied
Is with your feet in the wishing well.

In the wishing well.

In the wishing well.

Everybody's got a dream.

And they take it to the wishing well.
 Everybody's got a dream.
Wishing well.
Friday On My Mind

Monday morning feels so bad

Everybody seems to nag me
Come on Tuesday I feel better
Even my old man looks good
Wednesday just won't go
Thursday goes too slow
I've got Friday on my mind

Gonna have fun in the city

Be with my girl, she's so pretty
She looks fine tonight
She is outa' sight to me

Tonight, I'll paint it red

Tonight, I'll lose my head
Tonight, I've got to get tonight
Monday I have Friday on my mind

Do the five day drag once more

No one, nothing else that bugs me
Now I'm working for the rich man
But I'll change his tune one day

Tonight I'll get mad

Tomorrow I'll be glad
'Cause I've got Friday on my mind

Gonna have fun in the city

Be with my girl she's so pretty
She looks fine tonight
She is outa' sight to me

Tonight, I'll paint it red

Tonight, I'll lose my head
Tonight, I've got to get tonight
Monday I have Friday on my mind

Yeah

Gonna have fun in the city

Be with my girl she's so pretty
Gonna have fun in the city
Gonna have some fun
Be with my girl she's so pretty
Gonna have some fun

Gonna have fun in the city

Gonna have some fun
Be with my girl she's so pretty
In the city tonight
Gonna have fun in the city
 Still Got The Blues

Used to be so easy to give my heart away

But I found out the hard way
There's a price you have to pay
I found out that love was no friend of mine
I should have known time after time

So long, it was so long ago

But I've still got the blues for you

Used to be so easy to fall in love again

But I found out the hard way
It's a road that leads to pain
I found that love was more than just a game
You're playin' to win
But you lose just the same

So long, it was so long ago

But I've still got the blues for you

So many years since I've seen your face

Here in my heart, there's an empty space
Where you used to be

So long, it was so long ago

But I've still got the blues for you

Though the days come and go

There is one thing I know
I've still got the blues for you.
Ready For Love

Hey baby, looking good to me.

Hey baby, I like what I see.
I'm ready, I'm ready for love.
What you say, we just forget the drill.
Full metal jacket, I'm shooting to kill.
I'm ready, I'm ready for love.

Don't you know that it's cold outside.

Come on in, I'll keep you satisfied.
Just like that moon up above,
I'm out tonight and I'm ready for love.

I'm getting ready, I'm ready for love.

I'm ready, I'm ready for love.
Oooh!
Come over baby.

Hey baby, won't you tell me your sign.

What do you know, it's the same one as mine.
I'm ready, I'm ready for love.
You hear me knockin', but you won't let me in.
 Open the door, honey let the fall begin.
I'm ready, I'm ready for love.

You say you will, then you say you won't.

Now you see it, then you don't.
Just like that moon up above,
It's out tonight and I'm ready for love.

I'm getting ready, I'm ready for love.

I'm getting ready, I'm ready for love.

Every day in the week, I'm in a different city.

Every day in the week
somebody tries to hold me down.

Your place or mine, honey?

Don't you know that it's cold outside.

Come on in, I'll keep you satisfied.
Just like that moon up above,
I'm out tonight and I'm ready, ready, ready, ready.

I'm out tonight and I'm ready for love.

I'm ready for love.
I'm out tonight and I'm ready for love.
I'm ready for love.

Ready, I'm ready for love.

I'm getting ready, I'm ready for love.
I'm getting ready, I'm ready for love.
Oooh!

I'm getting ready.
Ooh, just like that moon up above.
