1. Helter Skelter (live) - 3:07 (0:00)
Written by Lennon and McCartney

This track recorded live on 8th November 1987

When you get to the bottom you go back to the top of the slide
Then you stop and you turn and you go for a ride
Then you get to the bottom, then you see me again

Do you, don't you want me to love you?
Coming down fast, I'm right here above you
Tell me, tell me, tell me the answer
Ain't no lover but you ain't no dancer

Helter skelter - helter skelter - helter skelter

Do you, don't you want me to make you?
Coming down fast, now don't let me break you
Tell me, tell me, tell me the answer
Ain't no lover but you ain't no dancer

Helter skelter - helter skelter - helter skelter

When you get to the bottom you go back to the top of the slide
And you turn and you stop and you go for a ride
Then you get to the bottom, then you see me again

Do you, don't you want me to love you?
Coming down fast, I'm right here above you
Tell me, tell me, tell me the answer
Ain't no lover but you ain't no dancer

Helter skelter - helter skelter - helter skelter
Helter skelter - helter skelter - helter skelter

2. Van Diemen’s Land - 3:05 (3:07)

Hold me now - oh, hold me now
Till this hour has gone around
And I'm gone on the rising tide
For to face Van Diemen's land

It's a bitter pill I swallow here
To be rent from one so dear
We fought for justice and not for gain
But the magistrate sent me away

Now kings will rule and the poor will toil
And tear their hands as they tear the soil
But a day will come in this dawning age
When an honest man sees an honest wage

Hold me now - oh, hold me now
Till this hour has gone around
And I'm gone on the rising tide
For to face Van Diemen's land

3. Desire - 2:59 (6:12)

Lover, I'm off the street
Gonna go where the bright lights and the big city meet
With a red guitar, on fire
Desire

She's the candle burning in my room
I'm like the needle - needle and spoon
Over the counter with a shotgun
Pretty soon everybody got one
And the fever when I'm beside her
Desire, desire

And the fever, getting higher
Desire, desire
Burning, burning

She's the dollars - she's my protection
She's the promise in the year of election
Sister, I can't let you go
Like a preacher stealing hearts at a travelling show
For love or money, money, money --

And the fever, getting higher
Desire, desire --

4. Hawkmoon 269 - 6:22 (9:11)

Like a desert needs rain
Like a town needs a name
I need your love

Like a drifter needs a room
Hawkmoon
I need your love
I need your love

Like a rhythm unbroken
Like drums in the night
Like sweet soul music
Like sunlight
I need your love

Like coming home
And you don't know where you've been
Like black coffee
Like nicotine
I need your love
I need your love --

When the night has no end
And the day yet to begin
As the room spins around
I need your love
I need your love

Like a phoenix rising
Needs a holy tree
Like the sweet revenge
Of a bitter enemy
I need your love
I need your love

Like the heat needs the sun
Like honey on her tongue
Like the muzzle of a gun
Like oxygen
I need your love
I need your love --

When the night has no end
And the day yet to begin
As the room spins around
I need your love
I need your love --

Like thunder needs rain
Like the preacher needs pain
Like tongues of flame
Like a sheet stain
I need your love
I need your love

Like a needle needs a vein
Like someone to blame
Like a thought unchained
Like a runaway train
I need your love
I need your love --

Like faith needs a doubt
Like a freeway out
I need your love
[In the heart of the heat of the love --]
Like powder needs a spark
Like lies need the dark
I need your love
[In the heart of the heat of the love --]

5. All Along the Watchtower (live) - 4:24 (15:33)
Written by Bob Dylan

This track recorded live on 11th November 1987

There must be some way out of here
Said the joker to the thief
There's too much confusion here
I can't get no relief
Businessmen, they drink my wine
Ploughmen dig my earth
None of them know along the line
What any of this is worth

No reason to get excited
The thief, he kindly spoke
There are many among us
Who think that life is but a joke
But you and I, we've been through that
And that is not our fate
So let us not talk falsely now
Because the hour is getting late

All along the watchtower
Princes kept the view
While horsemen came and went
Barefoot servants too

All I've got is a red guitar
Three chords and the truth
All I've got is a red guitar
The rest is up to you

There's no reason to get excited
The thief, he kindly spoke
Some among us here
Say that life is just a joke
You and I, we've been through that
And that is not our fate - at least today
So let us not talk falsely now
Because the hour is getting late, late

6. I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For (live) - 5:53 (19:57)

See The Joshua Tree for studio version lyrics
This live performance (28th September 1987) has the following extra lyrics
inserted before the third verse (after the third verse the first verse is repeated)

He will lift you higher and higher
He will pick you up when you fall
He'll be your shelter from the storm

7. Freedom for My People - 0:38 (25:50)

8. Silver and Gold (live) - 5:49 (26:28)

This version recorded live on 8th November 1987

In the shit house, a shotgun
Praying hands hold me down
Only the hunter was hunted
In this tin-can town, tin-can town

No stars in the black night
Looks like the sky fell down
No sun in the daylight
Looks like it's chained to the ground, chained to the ground

The warden says: the exit is sold
If you want a way out - silver and gold

broken back to the ceiling
broken nose to the floor
I scream at the silence that's crawling
Crawls under the door

There's a rope around my neck
And there's a trigger in your gun
Jesus, say something!
I am someone - I am someone

Captains and kings in the ship's hold
They came to collect silver and gold

I see the coming and the going
See them captains and kings
See their navy blue uniforms
See them bright and shiny things, bright shiny things

The temperature is rising
The fever white hot
Mister, I ain't got nothing
But it's more than you've got

These chains no longer bind me
Not the shackles at my feet
Outside are the prisoners
Inside the free - set them free - set them free

A prize fighter in a corner is told
Hit where it hurts for silver and gold
Silver and gold

Spoken: Silver and Gold... This song was written in a hotel room in New York City round about the time a friend of ours, Little Steven, was putting together a record of Artists Against Apartheid. This is a song written about a man in a shanty town outside of Johannesburg. A man who's sick of looking down the barrel of white South Africa. A man who is at the point where he is ready to take up arms against his oppressor. A man who has lost faith in the peacemakers of the West while they argue and while they fail to support a man like Bishop Tutu and his request for economic sanctions against South Africa.

Am I buggin' you? I don't mean to bug ya. OK Edge....play the blues.

9. Pride (In the Name of Love) (live) - 4:27 (32:17)

See The Unforgettable Fire for studio version lyrics
This live performance (8th November 1987) is essentially the same

10. Angel of Harlem - 3:49 (36:44)

It was a cold and wet December day
When we touched the ground at JFK
Snow was melting on the ground
On BLS I heard the sound of an angel
New York like a Christmas tree
Tonight this city belongs to me - angel
Soul love - this love won't let me go
So long - angel of Harlem

Birdland on fifty-three
The street sounds like a symphony
We got John Coltrane and A Love Supreme
Miles - and she's got to be an angel
Lady Day has got diamond eyes
She sees the truth behind the lies - angel
Soul love - this love won't let me go
So long - angel of Harlem

Blue light on the avenue
God knows they got to you
An empty glass - the lady sings
Eyes swollen like a bee sting
Blinded, you lost your way
Side streets and the alleyway
Like a star exploding in the night
Falling to the city in broad daylight
An angel in devil's shoes
Salvation in the blues
You never looked like an angel
Yeah, yeah - angel of Harlem

11. Love Rescue Me - 6:24 (40:33)

Love Rescue Me
Co-written with Bob Dylan

Love, rescue me
Come forth and speak to me
Raise me up and don'
