Hello, hello, hello (ha, ha, ha)
You never listen to a word that I said You only seen me For the clothes that I wear Or did the interest go so much deeper It must have been The colour of my hair The Public Image What you wanted was never made clear Behind the image was ignorance and fear You hide behind this public machine Still follow same old scheme Public Image Two sides to every story Somebody had to stop me I'm not the same as when I began I will not be treated as property Public Image Two sides to every story Somebody had to stop me I'm not the same as when I began It's not a game of monopoly Public image Public image You got what you wanted The public image belongs to me It's my entrance My own creation My grand finale My goodbye Public image Goodbye |

Seeing in your eyes
Words can never say the way Told me in your eyes Final in a fade Never no more hope away Final in a fade Seeing in your eyes Seeing in your eyes Never really know Never realize Silence in your eyes Silence in your eyes Never really know Till its gone away Never realize The silence in your eyes Seen it in your eyes Seen it in your eyes Never no more hope away Final in a fade Watch her slowly die Saw it in her eyes Choking on a bed Flowers rotting dead seen it in her eyes Ending in a day Silence was a way Seeing in your eyes Seeing in your eyes Seeing in your eyes I'm seeing through my eyes Words cannot express Words cannot express Words cannot exp...... |

You make me feel ashamed
At acting attitudes Remember ridicule It should be clear by now clear by now Your words are useless Full of excuses False confidence Someone has used you well Used you well I could be wrong It could be hate As far as I can see Clinging desperately Imagining pretending No personality Dragging on and on and on and on And on and on and on and on I think you're slightly late Slightly late This person's had enough of useless memories Always remember Twisted amenities Could be wrong This person's had enough Of useless memories Always remember Twisted amenities Out of order Out of order It could be worse You're losing all the time I could be wrong Could be worse You're losing all the time I let you stay too long I could be wrong Could be wrong Whatever pass Could never last All in your mind Where it all began You're doing wrong It's not the movies And you're old |

A face is raining
Across the border The pride of history The same as murder Is this living He's been careering The steady hand as planned Behind the reasoning No claim for property Both sides of the river There is bacteria Is this living He's been careering Trigger machinery Mangle the military No one should be there Is this living Blown into breeze Scatter concrete The jagged metal bad life Manufactured He's been careering Is this living A face is raining Across the border The pride of history The same as murder Is this living careering There must be meaning Behind the moaning Spreading tales Like coffin nails Is this living He's been careering It's raining I need to hide Trigger machinery I've been careering Across the border Is this living Both sides of the river There is bacteria Armoured machinery mangled |

Now in the summer
I could be happy or in distress Depending on the company On the veranda Talk of the future or reminisce Behind the dialogue We're in a mess Whatever I intended I sent you flowers You wanted chocolates instead The flowers of romance The flowers of romance I've got binoculars On top of Box Hill I could be Nero Fly the eagle Start all over again I can't depend on these so-called friends It's a pity you need to defend I'll take the furniture Start all over again |

You'll wonder should you risk it
A pocket full of mischief An idiotic rain dance Relying on a romance Another frame beginning Now's the time for singing a-ha! Prayer has conceded Successfully succeeded Rules and regulations Rules and regulations Howling at the moonshine Barking up the wrong tree A sacrificial slaughter Took you from the altar Rules and regulations Rules and regulations Have no fear of laughter Wait for what comes after Excusing no excuses The hangman and his nooses Busy executing The bloody and blaspheming Rules and regulations Rules and regulations The Spanish inquisition No one above suspicion Crying out for reason Might as well be treason Rules and regulations Rules and regulations Have no fear of laughter Wait for what comes after It's you they're looking out for It's you they're coming after Innocent not guilty Not to this committee |

Promises, promises
OLd tired, worn out second hand sentences One thing, with you is certain YOu're a really sad person. So sad. CHORUS Disappointed a few people When friendship reared its ugly head Disappointed a few people Well, isn't that what friends are for? What are friends for? You, you're just a really bad person Who won't, you won't, listen to anyone. No not you With those half moon eyelids JUst babbling on, your useless defences. So sad. CHORUS This erratic haphazard, fluttering This toing and frowing Like a confused moth The collusion, illusion And it's all ad infinitum You're a really sad person. You're really so sad CHORUS Fools and horses Running their courses And brow beaten down Like dust on the ground You cheat easily Like sweet charity And all of the bastards The world despises Springing surprises In newer disguises You cheat easily Like all charity |

And I-I won't be stupid
State the obvious-pleasant platitudes Bad policies-mega magnitude Magnificent And I-would not be surprises If next door's roses died And I-would not be overcome with grief When, in the shadow's cast The trees lose all their leaves Two cheeks to the wind-three sheets to set sail Bow in the storm-we'll die in the water My armada-three sheets to set sail Bow in the storm-we'll die in the water Armada And a head of wax-should not walk in the sun Pride goes before the fall-let's make feathers fly Two cheeks to the wind-three sheets to set sail Bow in the storm-we'll die on the water My armada-led to the slaughter My armada-nothing but murder To conquer and blunder Led to the slaughter Nothing but murder My armada |

What you gonna do - When the river runs dry
Put your drills in the mud - Death up in the sky Should have saved those bottles - Should have saved those cans Shouldn't ought'a listen to the plastic man No more toilet papet - It's gone just like the trees Do you like the taste of honey - Isn't it best without the bees Be careful what you're doing - You're messing up my life And if all this world's a cake - Then you took too big a slice What's it all about - They scream and then they shout Don't ask me - Cause I don't know (I don't know) What's it all about - They scream and then they shout Don't blame me - I told you so Read it in the papers - You hear it in the news Very few listen - A spew without a view And is it really worth it - You're choking on remote I see the red tide coming - But we don't even vote Infection in the greenhouse - Dizzy in the clouds Oily as an ocean - Heaven disemboweled Planning on a future - Well lucky for some Develop your body - But your mind is still a slum What's it all about - They scream and then they shout Don't ask me - Cause I don't know What's it all about - They scream and then they shout (Well don't ask me) Don't blame me - I told you so (Middle-age) The product in the packaging Of multi-layered glam 150 layers of materials To cover up a sham Protecting my planet Wrap it in plastic This package is product Perfected eternal A crap in a cling wrap I never met yet a prime minister or president Who told the truth yet Swimming in the slurry Burning in the heat Wind blown is this weather I eat what you secrete I climb this highest derrick This circus has no prayer No UFO to save us And do we really care What's it all about - They scream and then they shout (Do we really care) Don't ask me - Cause I don't know What's it all about - They scream and then they shout Don't blame me - I told you so What's it all about - They scream and then they shout (No UFO to save us) Don't ask me - Cause I don't know What's it all about - They scream and then they shout (No fun, no religion) Don't blame me - I told you so What's it all about - They scream and then they shout Don't ask me - Cause I don't know What's it all about - They scream and then they shout (Climb this highest derrick) Don't blame me - I told you so Kiss goodbye to the Earth, the sun, the moon It's easy to decieve a child. |
