Lyrics

Midnight in Bombay

She's 14, she looks like she's 26

Junkyard blanket and some broken sticks

Baby in her arms but it's not hers

But it's all she's got in her small torn world

Yet nobody seems to know

No one wants to care

I know we can't change the world

But we can at least be there

It's midnight in Bombay

To you it's just another day

It's midnight in Bombay

Surely there's something you can say

It's midnight in Bombay

But you will find another way

It's midnight in Bombay

And where are you?

Coins drop into a food bowl

Newspapers keep the warmth in the cold

The rain breaks in through the roof

But your wipers hide it from your view

Yet nobody seems to know

No one wants to care

I know we can't change the world

But we can atleast be there

I'm not going to give you the brotherhood shit

It's your money- keep every bit

And it's fine if there's nothing you wanna do

Just remember my friend, it could so easily have been you

All I've Got Is You
Baby, I wish I had a car and you could drive it
We could trip all day, twist and shout
I have two tickets for you and me to ride it
So don't worry now, we'll work it out

Cause All I've got is you,
And All I've got is you.

My dreams hang on an empty line with no clips on,
Blowin' at the mercy of the breeze,
It's the end of the day and my money's on a dry run,
Baby won't you listen to me please?

Cause All I've got is you,
And All I've got is you.

And you're the one for me girl, you know it's true
And I have so much fun with you girl, please don't make me blue.

I Will
This girl, she goes the other way,
I follow her with my stare,
She never stands still.

But now, it's time to get real,
To tell her how I feel,
I know that I will.

When I see her everday, my heart goes wild, my friend.
And I know that some day, she'll be mine, in the end.

But now, I have some talking to do,
Go up to her sometime soon,
I know that I will.

And now, it's time to get real,
To tell her how I feel,
I know that I will.

Kashmir (I Love You)

Im half the world away,

Just five hours from home

Sometimes I wish I d stayed

But then Id be all alone

People dressed in black and white

Sign in Ink that fades away

The white doves are all out of sight

Cant blame them- Id feel the same way

Why do you bleed, Kashmir?

Is there anything I can do for you?

Its peace you need, Kashmir,

Kashmir, I love you.

Talk, Talk and more talk

Is all that people ever do

But I just want my home back

My dad and mom and my friends too

People say Im just eight-what do I care?

But they dont know whats in me-the pain that I bear

And yes, I dont know much about the deals that went through

But I do know I loved things the way they were before-dont you?

When We Cry
I've been talking to a lot of people,
Asking them what it all means.
The rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer
And I'm stuck somewhere in between.

You and I, we think that we, know all there is to it
But You and I, can't even see, one another
He and She, are more than we, can ever imagine
With Stories and lives of their own.

The little girl at the traffic lights
With outstretched hand and hungry eyes
It's alright, we tell ourselves
Cause she's still alive, she's still alive,
But is she?

When we cry, we will see yeah
When we try, we'll be free yeah.

You and I, we wonder why, things are so hard
But You and I, have never tried, to look on the outside
He and She, are more than we, can ever imagine
With Stories and lives of their own.

The old man at platform five
With empty bowl and unseeing eyes
It's alright, we tell ourselves
Cause he's still alive, he's still alive,
But is he?

When we cry, we will see yeah
When we try, we'll be free yeah.

When we cry, we will see yeah
When we try, we'll be free yeah.

Try, Cry.
