Go West - Crossfire Lyrics






Where the east shuts out the western world
There is a frozen river
No way out to see
A great divide was opened over night
One mile became a million
All contact was lost
In crossfire

At the mercy of the chosen few
There is a broken city
Still living each day
In crossfire
Under the gun
In crossfire
Nowhere to run

Pray for the desperate man
With so far to fall
He knows his liberty
Is over the wall

On the east side of the western world
One mile is still a million
Is all contact lost
In crossfire

    🎼🎸🎤GO W. E. S. T ❗🎸criminally underrated🎸

  2. l.... ....

    No one played guitar like Alan Murphy.

  3. R.... S....

    Go west always makes me think of better times. Its amazing how good music can make you feel things that you do, you can be angry at the world and with the right song you'll feel like you're in touch with everything on a completely different level.

  4. K.... H....

    SO HAPPY 2C THOSE OF YOU WHO LOVED & COULD APPRECIATE THIS ASTRONOMICALLY TALENTED DUO! Lov them then love them more NOW!!!

  5. S.... ....

    One of the best if not the best song on the album! Amazing music!!!

  6. K.... B....

    Such an upbeat happy song , always gets me inside, go West are such an amazing duo loved all their songs right from the start.

  7. G.... ....

    The number of dislikes depicts what a masterpiece of a work this is by GW, and this small a number of likes tell how underrated they were.

    RIP Alan, your works shall always rejoice us to no end.

  8. T.... N....

    The best!!

  9. d.... m....

    Yep Alan Murphy....say it like you would at mass. Absolutely robbed of so so much more to give.

  10. d.... m....

    Who new 30 years this song would be poignant

  11. T.... N....

    Love this song x

  12. M.... ....

    This damn song is awesome!

  13. E.... S....

    I ration myself to this once in a few months, because ever since I first heard it, I stat to cry when I hear Alan play this strange yet beautiful solo. I'm kidding you not.

    E.... S....

    I totally get it. Murphy was an inspiring player and I was fortunate enough to see him live before he died. They were a fantastic band.

  14. M.... ....

    Alan Murphy. That is all that needs to be said.

    M.... ....

    Yep. 30 years later and I still want to well up over this particular solo from Alan. Not flashy, not "look at me" just stunningly musical, feely, quirky, genius. First time I heard the song I thought "Hm, hello, this is special" and then the solo just made it perfect.

  15. a.... j....

    Fuck me this is deep,miles,coltrane,zawinul,shorter,Bach,jaco,igor,johny rotten would tip there hat.love you lots al.x.

  16. G.... ....

    Just love Go West for their style and great musicians at their best .You just don't get this type of music on the air waves anymore.

  17. R.... G....

    IMHO One of the best albums produced in the 80's.  Alan Murphy, God take care of his soul, Ronnie and Rich are the most undeniable song writers extraordinaire and musicians.  Which is why they were so close to the other fusion best, Level 42.  Now all we get is ghetto rap bullshit, no talents, and the likes of Cyrus's unprincipled whore child. 

  18. d.... v....

    thankyou for this and many more gentlemen!!

  19. S.... T....

    Alan Murphy was a genius. Man I wish he was still around, RIP Murph

  20. N.... ....

    They still tour as Go West....

  21. J.... R....

    GO WEST WAS UNDERRATED THAT WAS A GREAT DUET

  22. R.... G....

    yeah, what a sad waste of incredible talent. Thanks for writing back Loranalary..

  23. R.... G....

    Mr Alan Murphy. Rest his beautiful soul. Mr murphy died of AIDS in the eartly 90"s. Probably the most prolific guitarist, might I say, ever,ever lived. I dont say that with any reservation and we all miss him terribly.

  24. l.... ....

    excellent work from the guitarist on the whole album.. I forgot his name , what a shame.. :o)

  25. R.... G....

    Thats funny Smithyal, I wasnt quite sure what to do with these guys when I went out and bought this on cassette and was really into prog rock then(still am though)I knew they were phenominally good, but they paved a new path through and people couldnt grasp their genius until they came out with king of wishfull thinking. I guess that was a day late and a dollar short. Anyone know what happened to Drummie and Cox?

  26. Y.... ....

    If this track had been released first on this album rather than just an album track, then I believe this album would have been more succsessful, other great songs are Dangerous and Mask of love.

  27. S.... J....

    @NEXPAR It was my favorite on the album. And I liked the entire album.

  28. y.... ....

    Go West generated a style of 80's pop that just harks home for me. For whatever reason (likely the contributions of members of fusion group SFX, plus Peter Cox's fantastic range), the production of these records is perfect to me for that era.

  29. N.... O....

    THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!

  30. N.... O....

    @smithyal wow awesome thank you!

    Little Caeser
    Masque Of Love
    Chinese Whispers
    Dangerous

  31. N.... O....

    Do u have 'Chinese Whispers' & 'Dangerous' too!?

  32. N.... O....

    I hated this album when it came out, but funny over the years it grew on me..its not like their other stuff at all maybe too mature, only now I appreciate it! Thanks for posting!
