Planes thrust
Up thru' the pink Northern sky In perfect time Heavy bright White ships Glide on grey waters Stained shades of blue Past your window Past your view Sunlight rich Precious as gold Unfolds Unrolls a new day Clarity and light Shine a new way Contact made And at last I am seeing things anew Colours come pouring out From where I stand With you. |

Walking into light
From the blank evening sky Knuckles rub away the darkness Circling my eyes Walking into warmth From the cold evening air Numb white fingers push Greasy rain through my hair You walk into view From shadow thrown against the door Hands reach out and grasp the moment They've been waiting for You pull me close Dampness seeps through to your skin You peel the layers away I feel the fire ignite within You create the feeling I contain the need It's moments that we're stealing No pleasure's ever free You sustain the rhythm I'll maintain the beat It's the only ,chance we're given Let's turn this cold to heat You possess the notion I take full heed We're bound by this emotion Two bodies - one heartbeat You create the feeling I contain the need You sustain the rhythm I'll maintain the beat Desire comes alive Nothing interrupts the flow Water nurtures every crevice Where this love needs to grow Sliding to the floor We swell , falling to the ground The world becomes a place With no clear shapes, with no clear sounds We're lost for a short while In the knot where love's entwined You pour the freedom from deep inside I drink it back like wine The murmur of your voice Soft words soothe away the doubt your strength - so essential Something i can't do without You .... Inside we slow each movement 'Til we're static once again Outside the city runs Cars through roads like blood through veins Here sweet sticky air Locke a cover keeps us warm Drops of love fall from us The last moments of the storm Opening my eyes You're even closer now to me As the crowd goes pushing onwards Crashing forwards like a sea We turn and feel the world Right now a million miles away It's always there to interfere But I'm always here to say You .... ------------- Lyrics Powered by LyricFind Written By CLARKE, ANNE/HARROW, DAVID <i>Lyrics © EMI Music Publishing</i> |

Blood on the sand
Blood on the hands of a handful of madman What a way to see the world Through the smeared window of a TV-Screen Technicolor assassinations assassinations that make me scared and afraid Afraid of the streets that breed malice and hatred Those with their heads bowed to the darkness Those who can't see for the glave of the light Those without strength Who can't raise hands yet alone guns Become prisoners of conscience Though not your conscience You cheer and rejoice as life trickles away Through the outlets you give in the shape of a gun Our world is slipping quickly away ------------- Lyrics Powered by LyricFind Written By CLARK/FOXX <i>Lyrics © EMI Music Publishing</i> |

I've been sitting here all day
Trying to understand Why people want to rule each other When the problem's close at hand A little less of what you want And more of what you've got Is enough to keep you struggling Without hatching other plots But justify yourself! Don't satisfy yourself! You should be out there voting Say the power mongers gloating The left-wing rich Trying to shed their guilt Go knocking down dreams Before they're even built Don't tell me how to live my life Don't tell me what to do Repression is always brought about By people with politics and attitudes like you ------------- Lyrics Powered by LyricFind Written By APPLETON, DOMINIC / LASCHETTI, ANDREA / CLARK, ANNE CHARLOTTE / MUNDY, GARY <i>Lyrics © EMI Music Publishing</i> |

Here
Upon these ghostly shadows Of men and women There are no smiles Singly They mingle With the greyness of the walls And at strange angels They travel on To nowhere Each a nucleus Of sadness and despair Small Or no conversation Passes their cigarette-stained lips They sit The lonely ones Sitting eternally In institutions That have become their eyes That have become their arms Their legs They are empty now Just shells moving back and forth Upon a shore Of some uncharted beach Up steep green hills They linger Like the darkness thoughts That push them selves Into your mind You cannot question them For they will not answer you They Are our deepest fears |

Remember me for what I was
Not as I am now I'll merge into the shadows I'll disappear into the rain Remember me for what I was Not as you see me now I'll walk out into tomorrow I'll melt into the sun Remember me for what I was A glance in your direction at the right time A smile breaking into a crescent moon A word of reassurance I'll protect myself Against the cold lash of tongues and lies I'll blend in with the crowd I'll disperse into the stream I'll fade into the darkness I'll turn and walk away Remember me for what I was As one world breaks in two I'll follow my own stricts I'll forge another path Remember me for what I was Not what I couldn't be Remember me for what I was And shall never be again |

Got a picture of your house and you're standing by the door.
It's black and white and faded and it's looking pretty worn I see the factr'y that I worked silhouetted in the back. The memories are gray but, man, they're really coming back. I don't need to be the king of the world As long as I'm the hero of this little girl. Heaven isn't too far away. Closer to it every day. No matter what your friends might say. How I love the way you move and the sparkle in your eyes. There's a color deep inside them like a blue suburban sky. When I come home late at night and you're in bed asleep. I wrap my arms around you so I can feel you breath. I don't need to a superman As long as you will always be my biggest fan. Heaven isn't too far away. Closer to it every day. No matter what your friends might say. We'll find our way. Yeah. Now the lights are going out, along the boulevard. Memories come rushing back and it makes it pretty hard. I've got nowhere left to go, no one really cares. I don't know what to do but I'm never giving up on you. Heaven isn't too far away. Closer to it every day. No matter what your friends might say. |

Physical shutdown through emotional letdown
Destined to search through the ruins of jealousy For some kind of reasoning in love Possessiveness stabs me Like a knife from my very own hand These emotions run riot In my only comprehension of love I want to enter the very heart of you Like the air that sustains your body But my eyes just fill with ice As I lose control in my attempts to keep you near to me I bewilder you with my words and actions I bar my own windows Lock my own doors And it's forcing you away all the time Like a scar from ear to ear This jealousy is slowly choking us both to death You can give all your love in matter of moments But jealousy will bind all our expectations Into a web of fear It runs through my veins A thunderous stream of murderous thoughts Burning fire through the blood Words leave an after taste And after words so will you |

Stumbling words and stuttering lips
Make the sentence complete A death sentence complete Create hell our of hopelessness Confirm the failure of it all Falling and calling Falling and crawling A Stick in the ground scratches your name A scream in the darkness is searching Again and again Watching eyes wait for sadeness to rise True superstitions combine and thicken This poison that reaches my soul This terror that blackens my soul I must smile at your strategy And laugh at your plan And the execution of it all Like death itself, love is rotting inside of me But there'll be no protection for you; you cannot hide me I am cold on a bed of ice But like seasons I know it will pass It will always return again though A summer of love is a momentary and transient thing Winter will always return again |

So this is where the future lies
In a beer gut belly In an open fly Brilcremed, acrylic, mindless boys Punching, kicking, making noise From the cradle to the city streets They spill out their aggression By punching what they don't understand And stopping all forms of expression Teaching each other to be men By spewing in the street Well now I know just what to do To make my man complete! Against the power of their misguidance We must learn to fight To be just what we want to be Morning, noon and night Night is for the hunters And the hunted are you and me Hunted for just having Some form of identity Night is for the hunters And the hunted are you and me Hunted for just retaining Some form of identity Night is for the hunters And the hunted are you and me Hunted for just having Some form of individuality. |

Through these city nightmares you'd walk with me
And we'd talk of it with idealistic assurance That it wouldn't tear us apart We'd keep our heads above the blackened water But there's no room for ideals in this mechanical place And you're gone now Through a grimy window that I can't keep clean Through billowing smoke that's swallowed the sun You're nowhere to be seen Do you think our desires still burn I guess it was desires that tore us apart There has to be passion A passion for living, surviving And that means detachment Every-body has a weapon to fight you with To beat you with when you are down There were too many defence between us Doubting all the time Fearinf all the time Doubting all the time Fearinf all the time That like these urban nightmares We'd blacken each other skies When we passed the subway we tried to ignore our fate there Of written threats on endless walls Unjustified crimes carried on stifled calls Would you walk with me now through this pouring rain It used to mingle with our tears then dry with the hopes That we left behind It rains even harder now . |

Sweat runs down the centre of my back
Crawling like an insect - it makes a track Sweat runs down the nape of my neck Anticipation - the cause and the effect So catch each drop as I catch each breath 'Til there's no doubt, no indecision, 'til there's not one question left Walking streets alone amid a mass of strangers' faces Fill my time with thoughts of you and I in distant places Now I must have you! You breathe new life - it's all around It calls my name without a sound This distance cuts down deep inside Planes carve like knives across the sky I must be with you! This place never cares to see who goes or who remains I wait and watch the boats set sail, I linger and listen to the far off trains This land of mine drifts off alone, far out to sea With no direction, no intention, nothing left to offer me And I can't stay! It stand alone - back on the world And through it all it still seems to curl Itself around the people, binding tighter than a rope Gives nothing away for something, each day without hope It's no home for the luxury of love! The good life out of each on the placards Doesn't hide away the truth of the broken down facades The buildings burn, the streets on fire Every muscle, every nerve stretched to reach for somewhere higher Feel me now! Will you remain, place your trust Turn ideas into motions before mechanisms rust Will you hold me tight with arms, with words, in your comfort keep me warm I beg refuge in your shelter as I fly into the storm Take me! Take me now! |

They fuck you up, your mum and dad
They may not mean to but they do They fill you with the faults they had And add some extra, just for you But they were fucked up in their turn By fools in old style hats and coats Who half the time were soppy-stern And half at one anothers throats Man hands on misery to man It deepens like a coastal shelf Get out as early as you can And don't have any kids yourself |

As a sleeper in metropolis
You are insignificance Dreams become entangled in the system Environment moves over the sleeper Conditioned air Conditions sedated breathing The sensation of viscose sheets on naked flesh Soft and warm But lonesome in the blackened ocean of night Confined in the helpless safety of desires and dreams We fight our insignificance The harder we fight The higher the wall Outside, the cancerous city spreads Like an illness Its symptoms In cars that cruise to inevitable destinations Tailed by the silent spotlights Of society-created paranoia No alternative could grow Where love cannot take root No shadows will replace The warmth of your contact Love is dead in metropolis All contact through glove or partition What a waste The city A wasting disease |
