Greetings to the world
Huh

I was the first enchanted tear
Crystal drop, little rain
Then along came your face and
I'll never be the same again

Now it was (...) in the back
Selfish cause, complicate
This labyrinth in the world we make
Is one to be reckoned with

It's a sound that I contain
No one breathes the same
Their lives (...), so in the back
Let's search for some common groun

Her name was Bonjour Madame or the Senorita
Have a little SuperHeavy up in a-your mixture
It's remaining in your stereo just like a fixture
When you see us all together - what a pretty picture

They say lay up what we lay we don't leap the texture
It come together archive down scotch money paper
Hey, you take no stick, man a step up
So don't no tell you to the wolf sheep on shepherd

That when the night turns to day
And girl will ride, run away
The peace so astound that the love you found
While searching for common ground

Everybody come together, hear this sound
Open up your ears, look at what we found
Common ground
So gather round

Don't matter if you're white, yellow, green or brown
Every boy and every girl and in every town
Gather round
There's common ground

There was a cabaret
Down in the islands
And when the band would play
Their feet went flying

And underneath the ponds
Bodies were swaying
And in each other's arms
Lovers were praying

You may the one for me
Love is all around
But will I find what I've been looking for?
Searching for common ground

 Everybody come together, hear this sound
Open up your ears, look at what we found
Common ground
So gather round

Don't matter if you're white, yellow, green or brown
Every boy and every girl and in every town
Gather round
There's common ground

 Everybody come together, hear this sound
Open up your ears, look at what we found
Common ground
So gather round

You may the one for me
No one breathes the same
But will I find what I've been looking for?
Let's search for some common ground

Searching for common ground

 

 

TrackTalk

In the middle of the first session, we couldn't find it for a second. So that made us call the idea, Oh, common ground. We're searching for common ground. And it all came back again.

- Dave Stewart, September 2011
