Love In A Peaceful World Lyrics


you came from out of nowhere
yesterday
well you blew my cool but that's ok!
I guess I couldn't run forever
anyway
I knew I'd have to face the truth someday
strange after all these years
after all my tears
to find you there in front of me
when I lost you in the crowd
I was so full of doubt
but that's not the way it's meant to be
ego and pride
the great divide
I was but I'm not crazy now
don't multiply
the tears we cry
I want love in a peaceful world

I grew up with a small town
mentality
yeah, it's a universal frame of mind
I was trying to make the changes
but I couldn't see (oh, why are we so blind)
couldn't see above the bottom line
searching for common ground
used to bring me down
I had better ways to spend my days
then I lost you in the crowd
I was so full of doubt
but that's not the way I feel today
ego and pride
the great divide
I was but I'm not faking now
don't multiply
the tears we cry
I want love in a peaceful world
can't be denied
or justified
hold me and stop me shaking now
don't multiply
the tears we cry
I want love in a peaceful world
hey you
you gotta break out
you gotta follow through
you gotta try to find a way
dream on
but don't lose the feelings
when there's nothing to hold on to
you gotta learn to feel your way
strange (strange) after all these years
after all my fears
to remember things we used to say
(strange) when I lost you in the crowd
I was so full of doubt
but that's not the way I feel today
ego and pride
the great divide
I was but I'm not crazy now
don't multiply
the tears we cry
I want love in a peaceful world
can't be denied
or justified
hold me and stop me shaking now
don't multiply
the tears we cry
I want love in a peaceful world
ego and pride
the great divide
I was but I'm not faking now
don't multiply
the tears we cry
I want love in a peaceful world
can't be denied
or justified
hold me and stop me shaking now
don't multiply
the tears we cry
I want love in a peaceful world
transmit and receive
you gotta feel to believe
wear my heart on my sleeve
I'll never lie or flatter to deceive you
transmit and receive
you gotta feel to believe it
wear my heart on my sleeve
now that I found you - never gonna leave you
transmit and receive
I'll never lie or flatter to deceive you
you gotta believe
now that I found you - never gonna leave you
oo-oo-ooh . . .

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Internationally popular British funk-rock quartet fronted by Mark King and Mike Lindup, best known for their hits Lessons In Love, Something About You, The Sun Goes Down (Living It Up), Love Games and Hot Water. They were formed on the Isle of Wight.

Though their membership has fluctuated throughout the years, the original and perhaps best-known lineup consisted of Mark King aka "Thunderthumbs" (vocals & bass), Mike Lindup (vocals & keyboards) and brothers Boon Gould (guitar) and Phil Gould (drums). After the success of the Running in the Family album, the Gould brothers left the band, citing musical differences and nervous exhaustion. King and Lindup continued, picking up replacement artists in Gary Husband on drums and former Go West and Kate Bush guitarist Alan Murphy. Murphy sadly passed away after suffering from an AIDS related illness in October 1989. The band released their then swansong album, Forever Now, in 1994.

At the end of the 80s, Mark King was recognized as one of the best bass players in the world having pioneered the 'slap and pull' technique, treating the bass as a percussion instrument. His style and virtuosity still are hugely influential, considering he also sang while he played very difficult basslines.

Following the formal breakup of the band in the mid-90s King later performed with a new lineup under the Level 42 moniker, before he and Lindup reunited to record Retroglide in 2006.

As of 2012, King and Lindup are still touring with personnel of Pete Ray Biggin, Sean Freeman and Nathan King completing the current lineup.
