FAITH HEALER
Music:Alex Harvey
Words:McKenna
Vocals:Douglas McCarthy
If your body's feeling bad
And it's the only one you have
You want to take away the pain
Go out walking in the rain
Watch the flowers go to bed
Ask the man inside your head
Your spirit never has to grieve
All you've got to do's believe
The faith healer, the faith healer
All you've got to do is feel
Your body's going to start to heal
Fingertips of holy fire
Everlasting sweet desire
It don’t matter what the doctors say
Healer man, sail away
Immortality for two
Miracles will come to you
The faith healer, the faith healer
Can I put my hands on you
Faith and hope and charity
Simple relativity
He can make you understand
Calm enough to take his hand
Remember when somebody said
Ask the man inside your head
Fingertips and holy fire
Everlasting sweet desire
The faith healer, the faith healer
Can I put my hands on you
The faith healer, the faith healer

Thanks Ilja Judeikin for finding this lyrics!
Vocals taken from original Bukka White track ‘Shake ‘em on Down’.
Get your nightcap, mama and your gown
Little before day
We gonna shake 'em on down
Must I holler
Ah, must I shake 'em on down
I done stop hollerin
I done stop hollerin
Must I shake 'em on down
Baby got somethin
I don't know what it is
Made me drunker than a whiskey still
Done stop hollerin
Ah, must I shake 'em on down
I done stop hollerin, ooh, must I holler
Ah, must I shake 'em on down
Late last night baby
I come knocked on your door
I heard him
when he told you to tell me you didn't want me no more
Done stop hollerin
Ah, must I shake 'em on down
I done stop hollerin
I done stop hollerin
Must I shake 'em on down
EDGE TO LIFE
Music:Alan Wilder
Words & Vocals:Toni Halliday
I’m not waiting for a king
To rule my mind or anything
I don't need your band of gold
To take me where I need to go
There's an edge to life
That will cut you like a knife
When you lay your head down
There's a castle of sand
That gets kicked in your face
To see how easily you'd fall from grace
There's a piece of dust
That crumbles in your hand
If you decide to lose control
No one can escape
When you find out they're fake
And you want to take the whole lot down
A simple man, well he could do more
But you can only see the traces
That have gone before
There's a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow
If you walk the white line
There's a piece of dust that crumbles in your hand
If you decide to lose control
There's a castle of sand that gets kicked in your face
To see how easily you'd fall from grace
Yes, there's a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow
There's an edge to life that will cut you like a knife
When you lay your head down
You know you can't escape when you find out they're fake
And you want to take the whole lot down
There's no truth in the lie that only angels cry
When everybody knows we're all born to die
There's an edge to life that will cut you like a knife
I miss you
There's no power that is such a thrill
That can make a man or anything
I miss you
CURSE
Music:Alan Wilder
Words & Vocals:Richard Hall (MOBY)
Lord help me to believe, I've got a need
Killed by the world I'm filled full of greed
Deaf to the touch of a human hand
Can't stand beaten down by a broken old man
Broken men fill a city full of sadness
Broken limbs fill a body full of badness
I need a need other than the sting of sin
I need a sweet kiss to syncopate the rut I’m in
I've got a lover, she clothes me in another
A bad thing to bring to sacrifice under the covers
She said, could all that red come from inside of me
Like something living made a decision to cease to be
Life isn't like that, life isn't like this
I have a need to know what it is
Have you stopped to see what it is to be free
How the world has become a giant shopping spree
Lord help me to believe how the world has changed
If it happens enough, does it seem the same
If it happens to me over and over again
Will I cease to feel all the pain I'm in
Will I cease to feel, will I start to believe
Will I need nothing more than the air that I breathe
Well why waste breathing on a living death
Why even bother with another breath
Why believe, why care, why even fucking feel
Why try to see beyond the evening meal
They tell me four billion people are alive today
But they say that life is sacred anyway
But then to see it, no one seems to be living
Oh lord what is it that we're giving
You're blind, you're blind
You're blind from the facts
You're blind, you're blind
You're blind from the facts
You're blind
You're blind, you're blind from the facts
You're blind
Blind from the facts
I felt life like a kiss in the morning
I heard love like a rainstorm on top of an awning
But then I left home to spend the night alone
And then I saw a man asleep on the cold stone
Was he asleep, maybe dead, maybe dying
I saw in heaven all the angels were crying
I saw myself as I just walked by
I saw another as he turned a blind eye
I saw another as he kicked the man
And that his friends all laughed and didn't take a stand
I burned inside, put my hand through a wall
I cursed the world that there is suffering and cruelty at all
I cursed myself that there is suffering and cruelty in me
That though my eyes have sight they're too full to see
That this would be life, like a job and a wife
Like a car and a house and a garden and a knife
Is it freedom to choose what is not a choice
Or is it freedom to silence what is not a voice
Is it freedom to have one belief
Or do you choose to live a life full of grief
I can't choose what I can't believe
That the way of life is to live and grieve
Cause I see living as a place in the sun
And the world as a place for a kingdom to come
BLOODLINE
Music:Alan Wilder
Words & Vocals:Toni Halliday
Come on, the night is young
Seek me out because I'm ready to get stung
So long, so long, feed me
Come on, show me, come on, need me
Come on, show me the way
Come on, need me in that way, so long
You just never ever get what you want
You just never ever get what you need
Come on, you deserve me
Come on, it’s the thought of you in my veins
Come on, show me the way
Come on, show me the feeling, so long
You just never ever get what you want
You just never ever get what you need
