Across a harvest of stars
And constellations
We'll drink
A starjuice on Mars
Miss our connection and cry
Coz I don't know why
I am a fly
The major is dead
It went to his head
We gonna fly
Note:
The word between square brackets is given in the CD-booklet. I am not sure that that this is what Sarah sings: it sounds to me something like "... baby / Waisting in a ...", but it could well be "Sitting".
Lying on a heart of a baby
[Sitting] in a vision of blue
Tell me why
Those innocent lies, tell me why
The mystery of love is to live
Live and let live
Break the chains and try to forgive me now
For the fortune on the wings of an eagle
And our hearts lie in the hands of an angel
Dreaming on the wings of an eagle in yellow
Sitting on a moutain top
Tell me why
Those innocent lies, tell me why
The mystery of love is to live
Those innocent lies, tell me why
The mystery of love is to live
Maybe you can try
Maybe I can try
Maybe they can try
Maybe we should try
Tell me why
Those innocent lies, tell me why
The mystery of love is to live
Those innocent lies, tell me why
The mystery of love is to live
Those innocent lies, tell me why
The mystery of love is to live
Note:
The Latin lines are not given in the CD-booklet and they are difficult to understand; see the remarks at the Fly page on this.
Translations: 'Agnus Dei' = 'Lamb of God' and 'qui tollis peccata mundi' = 'who takes away the sins of the world' (cf. Pie Jesu).
Crazy, so crazy
But I see you too clearly
I don't trust myself anymore
If it's all true just say it
I may already know
That sound when it's over
The sidewalks will carry you home
And the evening so easily
Agnus, agnus
Dei
Agnus, agnus
Qui tollis peccata [mundi]
Crazy, so crazy

Fell from the grace of heaven's prow
Listening as the abyss calls our name
Descending stars from golden clouds
Falling to the rage of angels
Bringer of light from on high
Bound to the earth and unable to fly ...
I don't know ... (3x)
How can heaven love me
You don't know
/ I don't know ... (3x)
How can heaven love you
/ How can heaven love me
We loved in a time before the fall
Welcome to the arms of solitude
Beneath us the heat that hearts exude
Is this really heaven?
We'd fight with the gods for our dreams
Where paradise falls eternity screams
I don't know ... (3x)
How can heaven love me
You don't know
/ I don't know ... (3x)
How can heaven love you
/ How can heaven love me
Die Welt ein Tor |
The world is a gate |
I don't know ... (3x)
How can heaven love me
You don't know
/ I don't know ... (3x)
How can heaven love you
/ How can heaven love me
(The last lines are repeated several times)
Ebbene? ... N'andrò lontana, Come va l'eco della pia campana, Là, fra la neve bianca; Là, fra le nubi d'or; Là, dov'è la speranza, la speranza Il rimpianto, il rimpianto, e il dolor!
Ebbene? ... N'andrò lontana,
Two men collide
If you win or you lose,
I can't tell what's wrong or right
If you win or you lose,
I can't tell what's wrong or right
Ebbene? ... N'andrò lontana, |
Well then? I'll go far away, As goes the echo from the pious bell There, amid the white snow; There, amid the golden clouds; There, where hope is, hope, Regret, regret, and sorrow!
Well then? I shall go far away,

In the heat of the moment
He will laugh at you
How can you make peace
When he's at war with you
In the heat of the moment
You're a perfect guy
Born to make mistakes
He knows the reason why
He's a shock to the system
He's a wicked clown
No matter what you do
He turns it upside down
Hu hu hu hu hu hu
Ghost in the machinery
Hu hu hu hu hu hu
Ghost in the machinery
Hu hu hu hu hu hu
In the light of a new love
In the dark of night
You can fall asleep
And dream he's out of sight
In the eyes of the children
You can read his name
They'll make the same mistakes
And that's the only way
The only way
Hu hu hu hu hu hu
Ghost in the machinery
(The last two lines are repeated several times)
We saw the holy men
come in from Sanchi
We touched their souls
and heard the Martyrs crying
Among the fields of red
we took the strange brew
The windless sky diwali
moon were calling to me
The deeper I go
the higher I fly with you
You take my breath away
Ooho you ...
-- lines repeated several times
You take my breath away ...
You take my breath away
Ooho you ...
-- lines repeated many times

The stanza "So I am going to ..." is not in the CD-booklet.
The indented stanza is in the CD-booklet but not sung.
There is something in the air
Oh, there is something in the air
There is something in the air
Oh yeah
Deep within your mind you have been blind
Look around and find
There's something in the air
Sometimes I can read it in your eyes
Keep the dream alive
There's something in the air
There is something in the air
Yeah, yeah, oh yeah
Don't know why the truth becomes a lie
Makes me wanna cry
There's something in the air
So I'm going to dry the tears of pain
Wash away the rain
There's something in the air
And I can feel it ... Oh yeah
Oh I can feel it ... Everywhere
There is something in the air
Our tears will dry tomorrow
No more pain or sorrow
There's something in the air
[Chorus:]
There is something in the air
Our tears will dry tomorrow
No more pain or sorrow
There's something in the air
All the darkness turns to sunlight
(The) Dawning hits the long night
There's something in the air
Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh yeah
We can heal the wounds of time together
It'll be forever
There's something in the air
I can feel the love that I desire
Come on take me higher
There's something in the air
Oh I can feel it ... Oh yeah
I can feel it ... Everywhere
[Chorus]
Something in the air
There is something in the air
There is something in the air
Is there something?
Something in the air
There is something in the air
There is something in the air
Is there something?
[Chorus]
There is something in the air ... (repeated several times)
Hold me and feel me
And wrap your arms around
Coz when you love me I'm quite clear
That heaven is here
Hear my confession
We're meant to be as one
Leave me to the mystery
Of happiness to come
Touch me, I'll give you
My blessings and desire
Coz when you feel eternal fire
Then heaven is here
Bad times and street crimes
No matter where you go
Some sects preach and some fools teach
They're giving us some show
So send me an angel
And wrap your arms around
Coz when it all comes down you'll know
That heaven is here
That heaven is here, oh-oh ... (repeated several times)
Note:It was a plastic age with plastic tears
The line between square brackets is in the CD-booklet but not song. The indented italics lines are spoken, most likely by Ronald Reagan (cf. the "Ronnie" in the preceeding line) as president of the USA, and not given in the CD-booklet.
He paints an Andy-Pandy Campbell's tin
Boys in the jungle on your TV screen
In tricky dicky's love machine
We'll take an easy ride and have some fun
On Dylan's highway 61
In California dreaming sun
That was when I loved you
I loved you, I loved you, I loved you
They were the living years of stainless steel
Praying for a time in a fortune wheel
Smooth operator was where it's at
So welcome all of you to the pleasure dome
Of taking the look from the homeless zone
With digital aids in your telephone
Another day in paradise is nice
From Ronnie's recession's nice advice
[Coz UB40's ice is vice]
We suffer from the longest
and one of the most sustained
inflations in our national history.
So don't you let the sun go down on me
Coz I wanna break free from your MTV
To virtual reality
That was when I loved you
I loved you, I loved you, I loved you
I loved you, I loved you
That was when I loved you
I loved you, I loved you, I loved you
I loved you, I loved you, ...
(repeated several times)
[Choir on the background:]
From the shadow of the past
I never dreamd that it would last
You gave me joy you gave me tears
And took away the wonder years
Note:Across a harvest of stars
This single stanza is the last track. It is introduced by "spaceship sounds" and the immortal words of Neil Armstrong: "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind"
From: Fly, re-released version (1997).
