Ian Craig Marsh

In darkness
Where my dreams are all too clear
Darkness, darkness
Filled with all the sounds of fear
I hear voices (don't turn out the light)
Calling faraway
I see shadows (don't turn out the light)
Moving, changing shape

And the clock stops
As darkness closes in
I hesitate but it's too late
I scream and scream again

I hear colours black and red
I see sounds that fill my head
I'll never read those books again

In darkness
Where my dreams are all too clear
Darkness, darkness
Filled with all the sounds of fear
I hear voices (don't turn out the light)
Calling faraway
I see shadows (don't turn out the light)
Moving, changing shape

Don't turn out the light (don't turn out the light)
Or I'll go over the edge
Don't turn out the light (don't turn out the light)
Or I'll go over the edge

In darkness
Where my dreams are all too clear
Darkness, darkness
Filled with all the sounds of fear
I hear voices (don't turn out the light)
Calling faraway
I see shadows (don't turn out the light)
Moving, changing shape

I hear voices (don't turn out the light)
Calling faraway
I see shadows (don't turn out the light)
Moving, changing shape

In darkness

Those cocky little fires you started in the night
The independent claims that just meant "Hold me tight"
The bruises on your body that you swore were from a fight
I'll pass at your insistence

Alsatians fall unconscious at the shadow of your call
One glance from your direction and the government will fall
Whole continents of misery don't bother you at all
But for me you have persistence

Run all day, run all night
Do or die, do or die
Got to run for your life
Do or die, do or die

I'd like to leave so would you kindly look the other way
You tell me to be honest but I've nothing left to say
Just like your feet my goddess, my brain has turned to clay
An end to all resistance

Run all day, run all night
Do or die, do or die
Got to run for your life
Do or die, do or die

Run all day, run all night
Do or die, do or die
Got to run for your life
Do or die, do or die

Run all day, run all night
Do or die, do or die
Got to run for your life
Do or die, do or die

Run all day, run all night
Do or die, do or die
Got to run for your life
Do or die, do or die

Those cocky little fires you started in the night
The independent claims that just meant "Hold me tight"
The bruises on your body that you swore were from a fight
I'll pass at your insistence

Do or die, do or die

I'd like to leave so would you kindly look the other way
You tell me to be honest but I've nothing left to say
Just like your feet my goddess, my brain has turned to clay
An end to all resistance

Run all day, run all night
Do or die, do or die
Got to run for your life
Do or die, do or die

Run all day, run all night
Do or die, do or die
Got to run for your life
Do or die, do or die

Run all day, run all night
Do or die, do or die
Got to run for your life
Do or die, do or die

Run all day, run all night
Do or die, do or die
Got to run for your life
Do or die, do or die

You were working as a waitress in a cocktail bar
When I met you
I picked you out, I shook you up
And turned you around
Turned you into someone new
Now five years later on you've got the world at your feet
Success has been so easy for you
But don't forget it's me who put you where you are now
And I can put you back down too.

Don't. Don't you want me?
You know I can't believe it when I hear that you won't see me
Don't. Don't you want me?
You know I don't believe you when you say that you don't need me

It's much too late to find
When you think you've changed your mind
You'd better change it back or we will both be sorry

Don't you want me, baby?
Don't you want me? Oh!
Don't you want me, baby?
Don't you want me? Oh!

I was working as a waitress in a cocktail bar
That much is true
But even then I knew I'd find a much better place
Either with or without you
The five years we have had have been such good at times
I still love you
But now I think it's time I lived my life on my own
I guess it's just what I must do

Don't. Don't you want me?
You know I can't believe it when I hear that you won't see me
Don't. Don't you want me?
You know I don't believe you when you say that you don't need me

It's much too late find
When you think you've changed your mind
You'd better change it back or we will both be sorry

Don't you want me, baby?
Don't you want me? Oh!
Don't you want me, baby?
Don't you want me? Oh!

[REPEAT x3]
Don't you want me, baby?
Don't you want me? Oh!
Don't you want me, baby?
Don't you want me? Oh!

My life
I'm a fool for you
You who take no advice
You who think evil doesn't exist
Just because you deny it is true

You're lucky I care
For fools like you
You're lucky I'm there
To stop people doing the things
That you know they are dying to do

You know I am no stranger
I know rules are a bore
But just to keep you from danger
I am the law

A dog must bark
So evil calls
Both in the wild and
Within these walls

You know I am no stranger
I know rules are a bore
But just to keep you from danger
I am the law

My life
I'm a fool for you
You who take no advice

When you're in love
You know you're in love
No matter what you try to do
You might as well resign yourself
To what you're going through
If you're a hard man or if you're a child
It still might get to you
Don't kid yourself you've seen it all before
A million mouths have said that too

I've had my hard times in the past
I've been a husband and a lover too
I've lain alone and cried at night
Over what love made me do
And the loved ones who let me down
And couldn't share my point of view
But this is philomena talking
I want to tell you
What I've found to be true

I love your love action
Lust's just a distraction
No talking, just looking
Watching your love action

I believe, I believe what the old man said
Though I know that there's no lord above
I believe in me, I believe in you
And you know I believe in love
I believe in truth though I lie a lot
I feel the pain from the push and shove
No matter what you put me through
I'll still believe in love
And I say

I love your love action
Lust's just a distraction
No talking, just looking
Watching your love action

I love your love action
Lust's just a distraction
No talking, just looking
Watching your love action

I love your love action
Lust's just a distraction
No talking - I'm just checking
To see if someone out there
Is really reading all this

And when it hurts you know
They love to tell you
How they warned you
They say "Don't be surprised
At someone's lies"
They think they taunt you
But if you can stand the test
You know your worst is better
Than their best

And so you stand here
With the years ahead
Potentially calling
With open heart
Or with a spirit dead
You walk on

Lies the reason
Faith or treason
Playing a part
End concealing
Try revealing
Open your heart
Dare to feel
Take the chance
Make the deal

Being an island
Shying from trying
Seems the easy way
Such an easy way
But there's no future
Without tears

Lies the reason
Faith or treason
Playing a part
End concealing
Try revealing
Open your heart

But if you can stand the test You know your worst is better than their best Lies the reason
Faith or treason

Try revealing
Open your heart

And when it hurts you know
They love to tell you

All day
Hiding from the sun
Waiting for the golden one
Waiting for your fame
After the parade has gone

Outside was a happy place
Every face had a smile like the golden face
For a second
Your knuckles white as your fingers curl
The shot that was heard around the world
For a second

It took seconds of your time to take his life
It took seconds

It took seconds of your time to take his life
It took seconds

It took seconds of your time to take his life
It took seconds of your time to take his life
Seconds

Put your hand in a party wave
Pass around
Make a shroud pulling combs through a backwash frame
Find the copies in a carbon mount
Pass around
Stroke a pocket with a print of a laughing sound

Get around town
Get around town
Where the people look good
Where the music is loud
Get around town
No need to stand proud
Add your voice to the sound of the crowd

The shades from a pencil peer
Pass around
A fold in an eyelid brushed with fear
The lines on a compact guide
Pass around
A hat with alignment worn insde

Get around town

Take time to see the wonders of the world
To see the things you've only ever heard of
Dream life the way you think it ought to be
See things you thought you'd never ever see

Take a cruise to China
Or a train to Spain
Go 'round the world
Again and again
Meet a girl on a boat
Meet a boy on a train
And fall in love
Without the pain

Everybody needs love and adventure
Everybody needs cash to spend
Everybody needs love and affection
Everybody needs 2 or 3 friends

These are the things
These are the things
The things that dreams are made of
These are the things
These are the things
The things that dreams are made of

Take a lift to the top of the Empire State
Take a drive across the Golden Gate
March, march, march across Red Square
Do all the things you've ever dared

Everybody needs love and adventure
Everybody needs cash to spend
Everybody needs love and affection
Everybody needs 2 or 3 friends

These are the things
These are the things
The things that dreams are made of
These are the things
These are the things
The things that dreams are made of
Like fun and money and food and love
And things you never thought of
These are the things
These are the things
The things that dreams are made of

New York, ice cream, TV, travel, good times
Norman Wisdom, Johnny, Joey, Dee Dee, good times

Look ahead, on the screen,
Slim perfect creatures and they're just 16
Their eyes meet, this is it,
The contact so much more than words can transmit
He stands up, she gives in,
Their first encounter, their embrace within
A short ride, they arrive,
There is no doubt that true love will survive

We are the geisha boys
Doing it wrong again
They are the chosen ones
Doing it right
Here come the temple girls
Looking for sanctuary
Naked as advertised
For the first time

If you turn away from the screen
Another version can be seen
She is black, and he is white
They love each other but they also fight
Back from work, she's not home
Another evening angry, all alone
She arrives and he departs
Misunderstandings, then the breakdown starts

Here we are late at night
We are both refugees
There is no easy way
Let it be right
Anything's possible
If you can fake it, but
The wrong place is anywhere
If you're not right

We are the geisha boys
Doing it wrong again
They are the chosen ones
Doing it right
Here come the temple girls
Looking for sanctuary
Naked as advertised
For the first time

There's not much that you can do
Choose either one of them it could be you
The first time could be the only time
The odds against you and your hopes decline
Do it right, or do it wrong
Console yourself that either won't last long
Geisha boys or temple girls
Make contact or remain in separate worlds

We are the geisha boys
Doing it wrong again
They are the chosen ones
Doing it right
Here come the temple girls
Looking for sanctuary
Naked as advertised
For the first time

Here we are late at night
We are both refugees
There is no easy way
Let it be right
Anything's possible
If you can fake it, but
The wrong place is anywhere
If you're not right

We are the geisha boys
Doing it wrong again
They are the chosen ones
Doing it right
Here come the temple girls
Looking for sanctuary
Naked as advertised
For the first time

Here we are late at night
We are both refugees
There is no easy way
Let it be right
Anything's possible
If you can fake it, but
The wrong place is anywhere
If you're not right

And as the low aggress the high
All you can do is sit and cry
You've only got yourself to blame
Don't try to stop me it's too late
My mind's made up, this job won't wait
There's nothing left for me to say
Hey! There's no need to debate
It's time to designate your fate
Take the M out of M.A.D.
Let's all make a bomb

Take one hundred scientists or more
Place in a room and lock the door
Let them confer for half their lives
Unlock the door, go in and see
What they have made for you and me
A brand new toy to idolize

Hey! There's no need to debate
It's time to designate your fate
Take the M out of M.A.D.
Let's all make a bomb

Although the war has just begun
Ignore the sirens, let's have fun
Put on your best, go out in style
Although our future's looking black
We'll go down town and join the pack
Let's celebrate and vaporise

Sweat my youth away
With the rules we have to play
Speeding through your magazine
Pistol, pavement, no T.V.
Talk and talk
No time, night time
Burnt inside
Here comes the daylight, here comes my job
Uptown in the penthouse or downtown with the mob
Here comes the night time, here comes my role
Goodbye to the pavement, hello to my soul

Now here comes my job
Credit, bleeding with the mob
Dreams become ideals
No one knows the way I feel
Love to love
Daytime, right time
All my life
All my life
All my life

Here comes the daylight, here comes my job
Uptown in the penthouse or downtown with the mob
Here comes the night time, here comes my role
Goodbye to the pavement, hello to my soul

Feel safe in the crowd
An no one admits they're crying aloud
My career fits like a glove
Knowing no orders can come from above
Work and work
Full time, part time
Anytime at all
Anytime at all
Anytime at all

As you face the wall
God make it this time or never at all
Before your chance has gone
Captain this lead role and you'll be the one
Shine and shine
This time, my time
Make me free at last
Make me free at last
Make me free at last

Here comes the daylight, here comes my job
Uptown in the penthouse or downtown with the mob
Here comes the night time, here comes my role
Goodbye to the pavement, hello to my soul

Here comes the daylight, here comes my job
Uptown in the penthouse or downtown with the mob
Here comes the night time, here comes my role
Goodbye to the pavement, hello to my soul

City clubland, theatre, dockland
Empty house, no audience
Smiles of fortune, no man master
Play to win and break the bank
Play to win
Turn professional, know your job
Be up to every trick
Make a breakthrough, strain your eyes
Have no secrets, hear no lies
Play to win


Have no secrets, hear no lies

One needs a great deal more than this
Make-up master plan
Tension mars the prettiest face
Sex in fairyland
Play to win
How can you improve your life,
Obtain the unobtainable?
Boost your health, a giant refreshed
Treat rough, get tough, 10-10!
Play to win



Did you take a backseat
When your kids were small?
Suit the movement to the word
Reverse and check the action
Play to win
Suit the action to the word
Make every minute count
Match in cunning, see the cars
Step on the heels of chance
Play to win

Have no secrets, hear no lies

Can't sleep, trying hard to find a rhyme
Can't work, I am tired all the time
Can't eat, since my appetite has gone
Can't think, when it started to go wrong
Can't move, I've no energy to fight
Can't see, any end to this in sight
Last week, I could do all of those things
But now, I am just the man who sings

I've searched around for years and years
I've drank in bars, destroyed careers
Sold on a need to be famous
I've seen the good in men survive
Only to fail when I arrive
Convincing them I am blameless
I was the man with future sight
I would change fortunes overnight
Knowing for me it was painless

Can't sleep, trying hard to find a rhyme
Can't work, I am tired all the time
Can't eat, since my appetite has gone
Can't think, when it started to go wrong
Can't move, I've no energy to fight
Can't see, any end to this in sight
Last week, I could do all of those things
But now, I am just the man who sings

One day in April 10:15
Awakened screaming by a dream
Something that touched me was burning
A diamond pin fell from my eye
Then something strange began to cry
"Your will can stop this world turning"
Since then I've fought more than I should
Against the will that I withstood
Hoping I could be its master
But now the dream is all I see
There is no hope of breaking free
One song away from disaster

Can't move, I've no energy at all
Can't see, any end to this in sight
Last week, I could do all of those things
But now, I am just the man who sings

If I was someone else
Would you still say what you're saying?
If I were someone else
Would you conscience be straying?
Soul warfare

It's all that I can do
To put my faith in you
It's all that I can give
To be a fugitive
It's all that there can be
Not wanting to be free
It's all that I can take
These fifteen days awake
It's more than I can hide
My needs can't be denied
A million miles or more
Can't keep me from your door
There is no place to run
Until the fighting's done
More bloodshed every day
The soul war's here to stay

If I want something more
It could be you who'll be paying
As this is my soul war
These are the rules we'll be playing
It's not for you to say
Which district I'll be destroying
You could never know
The tactics I'll be employing
You could be part of me
Forget the wealth you're forsaking
Your strategy is clear
My soul is there for the taking


It's all that I can do
To put my faith in you
It's all that I can give
To be a fugitive
It's all that there can be
Not wanting to be free
It's all that I can take
These fifteen days awake
It's more than I can hide
My needs can't be denied
A million miles or more
Can't keep me from your door
There is no place to run
Until the fighting's done
More bloodshed every day
The soul war's here to stay

I don't care about life
Or the world around me
I've got a place to go
I don't care what you say
Words cannot harm me
You're going down below
Come and join the fun on the way to heaven
Come and talk to god on the party line
If you can't be bothered, we don't need you
We're going to live for a very long time

I don't care for your views
Or your style of living
You're going to fail the test
You can argue all night
I have no misgivings
And I never get depressed

Come and join the fun on the way to heaven
Come and talk to god on the party line
If you can't be bothered, we don't need you
We're going to live for a very long time

Come and join the fun on the way to heaven
Come and talk to god on the party line
If you can't be bothered, we don't need you
We're going to live for a very long time

You may think that it's strange
This is all I live for
But you can't understand
If you listen to me
I'll explain it carefully
You must know I am right

Come and join the fun on the way to heaven
Come and talk to god on the party line
If you can't be bothered, we don't need you
We're going to live for a very long time

He'll give you one more chance
Now's the time to take it
He's waiting for your call
You'll be up there with me
We'll be grinning in heaven
When the day of judgment comes

Come and join the fun on the way to heaven
Come and talk to god on the party line
If you can't be bothered, we don't need you
We're going to live for a very long time
for a very long time
(repeat until end)

When all the money's gone
When all the boys move on
No star to wish upon
When every race is run

In the quiet of the morning
Lying in the morning sun
Ruins of another country
Day has just begun

Blown by the desert breeze
No memory of trees
No mercy from the sky
No avenue to try

In the quiet of the morning
Lying in the morning sun
Ruins of another country
Day has just begun

When all the money's gone
When all the boys move on
No star to wish upon
When every race is run

In the quiet of the morning
Lying in the morning sun
Ruins of another country
Day has just begun

It's a beautiful night
A cool breeze in the air
Got the keys to my car
But I don't want to go nowhere
I'm not at all bored
But I've plenty of time to spare
There's only one thing that I know
Would take me there

I've got one thing to say to you
I guess you just don't realise
When you see me look at me
There's more than friendship in my eyes

Don't you know I want you
Don't you know I want you

You can really get a buzz
Hanging out with the cool and free
You can act like a monarch
Or a pillar of the bourgeoisie
Anything you want to do
I'm never going to disagree
But I've got a point of view
How about a little sympathy

I've got one thing to say to you
I guess you just don't realise
When you see me look at me
There's more than friendship in my eyes

Don't you know I want you
Don't you know I want you

Don't you know I want you
Don't you know I want you
Don't you know I want you
Don't you know I want you

We talked and talked and talked and talked for hours
An ocean or two couldn't keep me away from you
We spoke about the time and place of our first meeting
Without a word I know you knew that I cared about you

I love you too much
I love you too much
I love you too much
I love you too much

Been one too many lonely nights without you
On one too many trains and boats and planes
I spent a thousand nights alone before I met you
And I'll spend many more until we meet again

I love you too much
I love you too much
I love you too much
I love you too much

Funny sometimes how you let
The little things
Get in your way
Funny how you just can't talk
Although sometimes
You've got so much to say
Silly when you know you've got the thing
That everybody
Needs so bad
Stupid if you let those jealous people
Telling lies
Make you sad

I thought I heard a voice
Telling me go home
No need to run no more
Needn't be alone

I don't care what you do
I'm coming back
I can look forward too
I'm coming back

Crazy feelings that you get
Sometimes they make you
Want to run away
The provocation that you let
Overcome you
When you ought to stay

I thought I saw her face
In every single crowd
I heard her voice again
Calling me aloud

I don't care what you do
I'm coming back
I can look forward too
I'm coming back

I thought I never could
Return where I belong
But with her waiting there
I knew I could be strong

I don't care what you do
I'm coming back
I can look forward too
I'm coming back
I don't care what you do
I'm coming back
I can look forward too
I'm coming back

Winter is approaching
There's snow upon the ground
It's good of you to visit me
I'm glad you came around
I don't know how you found me
I didn't let you know
I only moved to this address
About a week ago
I guess you think I ran out
But that's not true
Other people settle down
I never do
I always have to move on
Just have to go
I've often wondered why that is
I'd like to say but I just don't know

I guess you always wanted
Life on your own
I guess you always wanted
Life on your own

Up here the summer's shorter
And winter's very cold
I'm looking forward to the peace
My lonely life will hold
I'm really glad you came here
Thank you for the talk
It's funny how my problem stopped
When we went for a walk
Standing here together
Means so much
I won't forget your confidence
I won't forget your touch
You know I'll come to see you
Passing through
We'll always be a world apart
I'll travel on but I will be true

I guess you always wanted
Life on your own
I guess you always wanted
Life on your own
I guess you always wanted
Life on your own
I guess you always wanted

When he saw her getting off the bus
It seemed to wipe away the years
Her face was older, just a little rough
But her eyes were still so clear
He drank his coffee and he hurried out
Across before she walked away
Then he approached her like a little child
Too scared for what he had to say

"Hello, Louise,
Remember me?
Now should we part
Or stay awhile?
As if we were still lovers"

She took a moment just to recognise
The man she'd known so well before
And as he started to apologise
Lose any bitterness she bore
She gently put her finger on his lips
To let him know she understood
And with her suitcase standing on the floor
Embraced him like a lover would

He told Louise
"You look so good
It's just you see
You make me feel
As if we were still lovers"

It's not always true that time heals all wounds
There are wounds that you don't wanna heal
the memories of something really good
something truly real, that you never found again

And though they talked for just a little time
Before she said she had to go
He saw the meeting as a tiny sign
That told him all he had to know

And so Louise
Waved from the bus
And as she left
She gave that smile
As if they were still lovers

When he saw her getting of the bus
It seemed to wipe away the years
Her face was older, just a little rough
But her eyes were still so clear
He drank his coffee and he hurried out
Across before she walked away
Then he approached her like a little child
Too scared for what he had to say

"hello, louise,
Remember me?
Now should we part
Or stay awhile?
As if we were still lovers"

She took a moment just to recognise the man she'd known so well before
And as he started to apologise
Lose any bitterness she bore
She gently put her finger on his lips
To let him know she understood
And with her suitcase standing on the floor
Embraced him like a lover would

He told louise
"you look so good
It's just you see
You make me feel
As if we were still lovers"

It's not always true that time heals all wounds
There are wounds that you don't wanna heal
The memories of something really good
Something truly real, that you never found again

And though they talked for just a little time
Before she said she had to go
He saw the meeting as a tiny sign
That told him all he had to know

And so louise
Waved from the bus
And as she left
She gave that smile
As if they were still lovers

It's hard I know to understand
Nothing lasts for ever
The things you used to say and do
The places you would go to meet
When you were together
You set your face against the tide
The harsh words that were spoken
But after all the anger
The shouting and the tears
You found your heart was broken

Fight the tears
Fight the fever
Don't give in
Soul deceiver

So hurt
With the pain you can't hide
So lost
And lonely inside
So hurt
When the feeling has died
So hurt
With the pain you can't hide
So lost
And lonely inside
So hurt
When the feeling has died

Just like the clock went back ten years
To make a new beginning
To work out how to live your life
To take the board and play the game
And recognise you're winning
Your memories mean nothing now
You're just a little older
Moving forward with the crowd
Silent fears but laughing loud
Not wiser but just bolder

Fight the tears
Fight the fever
Fight the hurt
Don't give up

So hurt
With the pain you can't hide
So lost
And lonely inside
So hurt
When the feeling has died
So hurt
With the pain you can't hide
So lost
And lonely inside
So hurt
When the feeling has died

She dreams of nineteen sixty-nine
Before the soldiers came
The life was cheap on bread and wine
And sharing meant no shame
She is awakened by the screams
Of rockets flying from nearby
And scared she clings onto her dreams
To beat the fear that she might die

And who will have won
When the soldiers have gone
From the lebanon
The lebanon

Before he leaves the camp he stops
He scans the world outside
And where there used to be some shops
Is where the snipers sometimes hide
He left his home the week before
He thought he'd be like the police
But now he finds he is at war
"weren't we supposed to keep the peace"

And who will have won
When the soldiers have gone
From the lebanon
The lebanon
The lebanon
From the lebanon

I must be dreaming
It can't be true
I must be dreaming
It can't be true

And who will have won
When the soldiers have gone?
From the lebanon
The lebanon
The lebanon
From the lebanon

She dreams of 1969
Before the soldiers came
The life was cheap on bread and wine
And sharing meant no shame
She is awakened by the screams
Of rockets flying from nearby
And scared she clings onto her dreams
To beat the fear that she might die

And who will have won
When the soldiers have gone
From the Lebanon
The Lebanon

Before he leaves the camp he stops
He scans the world outside
And where there used to be some shops
Is where the snipers sometimes hide
He left his home the week before
He thought he'd be like the police
But now he finds he is at war
Weren't we supposed to keep the peace

And who will have won
When the soldiers have gone
From the Lebanon
The Lebanon
The Lebanon
From the Lebanon

I must be dreaming
It can't be true
I must be dreaming
It can't be true

And who will have won
When the soldiers have gone?
From the Lebanon
The Lebanon
The Lebanon
From the Lebanon

She dreams of 1969

The life was cheap on bread and wine

Around the nation, around the world
What's been going down?
A million voices, one question hurled
Heard in every town
All of the people, one simple plea
What will happen now?
Asked in concern for their destiny
Got to know somehow

They say
They say

Everything will be fine
Everything will be fine
Everything will be fine
I saw the sign

So if you want to know what's going on
Going round and round
You'd better ask before your world is gone
Gone without a sound

They say
They say

Everything will be fine
Everything will be fine
Everything will be fine
I saw the sign
Everything will be fine
Everything will be fine
Everything will be fine
I saw the sign

Around the nation, around the world
What's been going down?
A million voices, one question hurled
Heard in every town
All of the people, one simple plea
What will happen now?
Asked in concern for their destiny
Got to know somehow

Home again, our day is over
Now it's time to close the door
Turning on all over england
You and I and millions more
All in all it's getting stranger
Can you see an end in sight
Calling all the other nations
Bring alive the world tonight

And if we never understand
Then every feeling second hand
Is new
And everything we ever know
Is just the background of a show
For you


Faraway a living legend
Wears a crown in no man's land
There's a war that's never over
All deny their heavy hand
Will it all be coming closer
If and how we're still alright
See it all before tomorrow
Bring alive the world tonight

And if we never understand
Then every feeling second hand
Is new
And everything we ever know
Is just the background of a show
For you

But when the fire goes out
The dark starts moving in
And that's the truth
Right now you're on the stand
And I feel like the judge
Who needs the proof?
The slaves of truth
It was on every face in town
But I would not understand
Waiting for the news
Will it ever come my way?
(Repeat)
I won't be beat, not in a thousand years
I'll never lose, if I can prove you're not the one
Just leave me now, you're making my blood run cold
The word is out, so go, your feet won't touch the ground
Now that she has gone
I've got to shake the pain, act like a man
The sweetness that's inside
Will slowly die away
(Repeat)
(Repeat)
Who do you think you are? You're making a fool of me
Make no mistake, this is no fake, this is the end
Just shut your mouth, make room for someone new
So guess who's back, it's happy Jack, and that's no lie
(Repeat)
How was I to know?
So discreet, no-one speaks
Take the word from here
If you play you've got to pray
(Repeat)
(Repeat)
Who do you think you are? You're making a fool of me
Make no mistake, this is no fake, this is the end
I won't be beat, not in a thousand years
Just leave me now, you make my blood run cold
The word is, the word is out

Break or be broken
A sensitive target
A thirty day boy in
A twenty day city

Nothing is easy
You know their methods
(Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah)
Just for a moment
That beats creation
Waiting for the flash to come

A large map of nowhere
A statue of paper
Nothing can stop them
They're all white and spiteful

It's not important

Use any language
Before it gets too late

Call for a doctor

For hours and hours
They built us a tower
You know how men are
We fell to the power
Stay with the money
'Til five to midnight's past

Twenty years later
There's someone to see you
Your prayers are answered
He's saying something


Do you know something?

I don't remember

Hot as a furnace
Wing to wing contact


This happy solution
Wouldn't it rock you?
The choice of a weapon
The first and the last word
Waiting for the flash to come


It's not important
Use any language
Before it gets too late
Call for a doctor
Waiting for the heat to come

You know how men are
How men are, how men are



Do you know something?
I don't remember

Hot as a furnace
Wing to wing contact

Underneath the bridge

The glowing streets
Light up the heavy sky
Out of nowhere
I return to you
Even as we meet
This curious girl
Fell back to sleep
This time for keeps
But I won't surrender

Find some way
I think she's going to pay


On that day I knew
(Cold heart, flamedown)

It was me and you
Burn out, flamedown)

Under burning sky
Look up, flamedown)

You shall carry me

Along the streets
Awake and paralysed

Take the slow lane
We'll enjoy the view

As we move along

The girl will sing

This curious song
And she won't speak
But she will remember

What's ahead
And what is left unsaid

Caught up in the heat
Burn out, flamedown)
Out on judgement street
(Watch out, flamedown)

I see no way out
(Hold out, flamedown)
I can hear you shout
(Move out, flamedown)

Chorus 3:
Hold on don't give in
Stay out, flamedown)

To the flame within
(Burn out, flamedown)

Want you to agree
(No doubt, flamedown)
When you talk to me
(Shout out, flamedown)

I don't have a reputation
Falling faster all the time
Help me make my reputation
I'll help yours if you'll help mine
My clothes are too big for my body
My body's too big for my mind
I don't like humiliation
I can change my clothes
But I don't think I'll change my mind

Hey look! I just bought a beach house
So bring all your friends along
I don't need an explanation
Boss says I must leave right now
Take the night plane to Vermont

Here I go, I'm swinging low
Move out of my way

Come and take a look at what I've found
Here I am, I've got a plan

Don't walk away
My reputation follows me around

Once there was a girl in New York
Wonder where that girl has gone
She was full of adulation

I tried to phone her
Strange the number turns out wrong

I've got all I ever wanted

But what I've got, no-one wants to share
They turned down my application
Please won't you let me in
Seems like no-one ever cares

Guess who's walking in your tracks

(Don't look back)
Forcing you to re-enact

(Making contact)


No-one's safe when
Shame is on the rocks
There's no faith when
Shame is on the rocks

Bow your head, you'll hear his call

(Hear his call)
Such a shame, for one so tall

(Instant recall)

No-one walks when
Shame is on the rocks
There's no talk when
Shame is on the rocks

Slower than the second coming
It will happen all the same
Knowing why the spirit's broken

It's a shame

Think before you say a word

(Someone heard)
Go before you are disturbed
(Days are numbered)

Lose your aim when
Shame is on the rocks

Miss the train when
Shame is on the rocks

Shame is the one with power in his hand
There he waits, without a plan
But no-one came, it's such a...

Shame is the same for you and you and you
There are no chosen few
Who will remain? It's such a...

Sun crazed in our room
It was an endless afternoon
It seemed that we were so immune
The nights were stronger and longer
I fell on my pillow saying
"Tell the world that lucky's calling

Gold dust falling
Here in Action Town"

Sunset now
Sunset now
Sunset now
Sunset now

Blade flew into town
In time to watch the sun go down

He said the new prince must be found

The message shattered our windows
We know it was over, saying

"Tell the boys that we're not handing

Over any part

Of Action Town"


Sunset now

Sunset now
Sunset now now! now!

Pay out, run out, work out, die out
Action Town (Action Town)
If you have the name
Then you win the game
In Action Town (Action Town)
Bang bang you're dead

It's raining bread

Sunset now

Now that we have gone
Do we have strength to carry on
It seems like all our sun has shone
It seems our dice are as cold as ice

But something in my heart keeps saying
Tell the world that lucky's coming

Lines are humming
Here comes Action Town"

Sunset now (to fade)

I wish I'd never heard the news
(Never had a good day)
Baby wants a pair of shoes
(How'm I gonna repay?)
A thousand fingers touch my heart

I need so much
Blue Force is tearing me apart

No time for might have been
You're on the winning team
No time to choose
It's time to light the fuse

I know there's nothing I can do
(Don't let it freeze you)
The age of miracles is through
(They're never gonna please you)

The iceman's back, he treats the crowds

And ice is free
Blue force is pouring from the clouds

Tonight could be the night
We'll walk into the cool light
Though I'll not see you again

Light the fuse now!

They say the best's too good for you
Your head's on fire)
That golden letdown can't be true
(Push push a little higher)
But when they say that we can't win

And you agree
Blue force will never fight for sin

I heard a voice tonight

Calling by satellite
'Thousands are right
And some will light the fuse"

No time for might have been
You're on the winning team

No time to choose
It's time to light the fuse

I heard a voice tonight

Calling by satellite
'Thousands are right
And some will light the fuse"

No time for might have been
You're on the winning team

No time to choose
It's time to light the fuse

The skin I'm in
It's hard to see, I know

This skin I'm in

We're never free

Don't you agree?

Yet another age has passed
We all must look away
From the way we are today
We must look away


On every fate
Opening eyes will see

Who does not cry?

This skin I'm in

No-one can hide

How's the world been leaving you?
The future came too late
For the ones who cannot wait

It will come too late

This skin I'm in
Down to the bone, our blood

Fit for a king

It's no surprise

There's no disguise

Maybe all we need is time
To wipe away the tears
We let fall throughout the years
You must hide your tears

Within this skin
Until the end we grow

And as we sing
We have no more to show
Now walk and say nothing

No more wasting time
Synchronize

Tell them this is mine

Don't
Walk the other way
Tell me you will stay
Just give me one more day
So give up, I'm going on
If you stop, It won't change
One of us has lost the feeling
Which of us is not believing now?

You can have it all
I don't need it
Tell them this is mine
Wanting is no crime
Happens all the time
When it gets you down
Rise and leave it
Tell them this is mine
Push away the stone
We are not alone

Look into my eyes
And together we will rise
Above all we've seen
We will realize
Synchronize

Tell them this is mine
Wanting is no crime
Happens all the time

Hold
Touch this hand of mine
Come away and find
What we left behind
So move up, we're going on
To the top, we'll take it
One by one we've got the feeling
Which of us is not believing now?

You can have it all
I don't need it
Tell them this is mine
Wanting is no crime
Happens all the time
When it gets you down
Rise and leave it
Tell them this is mine

Do you hear me? x6

Just because you can
You treat me like a fool
But just because you can
Don't make it right
Can it be so hard
To be a little kind
And you could be here
With me tonight

I've got feelings
Don't be unkind
Feelings
Don't be unkind
Feelings
Stay with me tonight
You've been stealing
That's so unkind
Stealing
A heart, a mind
Stealing
Stay with me tonight

Cruel young lover
Blow your mind out
Time will come when
You will find out
Time will take your cruel power away
Cruel young lover
Try to stand out
Will it always pay
To bland out?
Time will take your cruel power away

Do you hear me? x6

Once again you're gone
Somewhere in the night
Disappearing
Leaving me alone
The lure of city streets
The pull of unknown souls
The overpowering draw
Of the unknown

You've been stealing
That's so unkind
Stealing
A heart, a mind
I'm appealing
Stay with me tonight

Cruel young lover
Hit the action
Can you live on your attraction
Time may take your cruel power away
Cruel young lover
Try to stand out
Will it always pay
To bland out?
Time will take your cruel power away

Cruel young lover
Ah ah ah ah x2

Do you hear me?
Cruel young lover
Do you hear me?
Do you hear me?
Cruel young lover

Do you hear me?
Cruel young lover
Do you hear me?
Do you hear me?

Cruel young lover
Ah ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah ah
Do you hear me?
Cruel young lover
Ah ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah ah
Do you hear me?
Cruel young lover
Ah ah ah ah ah
That's so unkind
Do you hear me?
That's so unkind
Do you hear me?
That's so unkind
Cruel young lover
That's so unkind
Do you hear me?
Do you hear me?
Do you hear me?
Ah ah ah ah ah
Cruel young lover
That's so unkind
Do you hear me?
That's so unkind
That's so unkind
Do you hear me?
That's so unkind
Do you hear me?
Do you hear me?
Cruel young lover
Cruel young lover

Do you hear me?
Thief
Do you hear me?
Thief
Do you hear me?
That's so unkind
That's so unkind

Once there was a vision
Once there was a glow
Once there was a certainty
No chance could overthrow
Hope was scorched by summer
Crushed and beaten down
Once there was a winner
Now there was a clown
Without you life had seemed so
But now I'm

Filling up with Heaven
Without you life had
seemed so hostile
Filling up with Heaven
But maybe with you it's all worthwhile
Now I'm filling up with Heaven

No baby no baby no baby no
Filling up
No baby no baby baby baby no
Filling up
No baby no baby no baby no
No baby no baby baby baby no

All the fortune that my
luck had brought
It couldn't even make me smile
Without you life had seemed so
A lonely hideaway my last resort
All achievement infantile

Now I'm
Filling up with Heaven
Without you life had
seemed so hostile
Filling up with Heaven
But maybe with you it's all worthwhile
Hey hey hey

As the years had passed by
I became more cynical
All the magic had died
My existence clinical
Ow ow ow ow

But now I'm
Filling up with Heaven
Down down
Down down
Filling up

Without you life had
seemed so hostile
Down down
Down down
Hey hey hey hey
Filling up with Heaven
But maybe with you it's all worthwhile
Woah woah woah woah

Now I'm
Filling up with Heaven
Without you life had
seemed so hostile
Down down
Down down
Filling up filling up
Filling up with Heaven
But maybe with you it's all worthwhile
Ow ow ow ow ow
Woah woah woah

Now I'm
Filling up with Heaven
Without you life had seemed so
hostile
Down down
Down down
Filling up with Heaven
But maybe with you it's all worthwhile
Hey hey hey hey

Without you life had
seemed so hostile
Down down
Down down
Filling up
But maybe with you it's all worthwhile

Talking to your lover
On a non existent phone
Houseful of nothing
The joyous conversation
Of a creature quite alone
Houseful of nothing
The whir of passing traffic
The sighing of the breeze
Houseful of nothing
The awareness of a culture
That is fading by degrees
Houseful of nothing

A hint of a shadow
Or a picture by the door
Houseful of nothing
The creak of a staircase
Or the flexing of the floor
Houseful of nothing
The light spreading even
Neither glaring nor too dark
Houseful of nothing
All finished had blended
Leaving surface with no mark
Houseful of nothing

One time in a lifetime
Understand just what you own
No-one
Owns the sunshine
And possession is a stone
One time in a lifetime
Try to glimpse just who you are
All that learning
All those ages
Have you really come so far?

The traces of a perfume
Half-remembered from the past
Houseful of nothing
The ringing of a catchphrase
From a cherished telecast
Houseful of nothing
Nothing in the corner
Nothing on the wall
Houseful of nothing
It makes you laugh to think
That there were ever things at all
Houseful of nothing

One time in a lifetime
Will you use the things you know
Will you passing
Make a difference
Oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo
Will you foster, will you sow
One time in a lifetime
Make a list of all you own
And when you are gone
What will it do for you, baby?
Hey hey hey hey hey hey

You took my family
Give it back give it back
You took the heart of me
Give it back give it back
You took my dignity
Give it back
Remember society
Bring it back bring it back
bring it back
Sense of community
Bring it back bring it back
bring it back
Lost opportunity
Bring it back bring it back
bring it back
Mercy and charity
Bring it back
Bring it bring it bring it bring it back

One time in a lifetime
Understand just what you own
No-one owns the sunshine
And possession is a stone

One time
Remember society
In a lifetime
Bring it back
Try to glimpse just who you are
All that learning
Sense of community
All those ages
Bring it back
Have you really come so far?

Lost opportunity
Bring it back
Mercy and charity
Bring it back

One time in a lifetime
Try to glimpse just who you are
All that learning
All those ages
Have you really come so far?

Bring it bring it bring it bring it back
Bring it back

One time in a lifetime

Mercy and charity
Bring it back

I'll miss your naked body
I'll miss your mind
Human beings learn to miss
The things they leave behind
Another romance broken
It's time to go
Too late to contradict
What we already know
Closed my eyes
To the truth
And the lies
Never again
Won't ask why
Don't reply
I'll just say
Never again

Time tells
Your heart compels
Never again
Never take a chance
Again
Time tells
Your heart compels
Never again
Never break a heart again

Never again never again
But until then
Never again never again
Never again
Never again never again
Never again never again

I know I couldn't keep you
I know the score
I know I'm surplus
To the life you're looking for
'Though nothing lasts forever
Still hope remains
We never go back to
The way we were before
From now on
To the end
Won't pretend
Say it again
Won't commit
Won't submit
'Til I know
Never again

Chorus

Woman
Runaway woman,
Never again
Woman
Oh my woman,

Woman
Runaway woman,
Never again
Woman
Oh my woman,

Never again
Never break a heart again

Time tells
Woman
Your heart compels
Runaway woman,
Never again
Woman
Oh my woman,
Never take a chance
Again
Time tells
Woman
Your heart compels
Runaway woman,
Never again
Woman
Oh my woman,
Never break a heart again

Never again never again
But until then
Never again never again
Never again
Never again
Never again never again
Never again never again

When you ask me do I mean it?
You have to know
You are the only one
You ask me if it is forever
How can I show?
There's no comparison

Beyond your doubt
Beyond devout
Beyond the stars tonight

One man in my heart
One man in my head
Oo la la la oo la la la
One man in my home
One man in my bed
Oo la la la oo la la la


My faith is stronger than existence
Longer than time
More fiery than the sun
Within a universe exploding
Though we are mist
Among oblivion



Or should I lie?
So you can cry
In your sleep tonight



Your clumsy grace
I love your face
And when we meet
Oo oo oo la la la
Your kiss so sweet
The things we choose
(The things we choose)
The life we use
(The life we use)
The things you say
(All the things you say)
The need to stay
(And the need to stay)



One man in my heart
One man in my head
Oo la la la oo la la la
One man in my heart
One man in my house
One man in my bed
Oo la la la oo la la la
I've got one man one man
One man in my

Tell me when
Will I?
Tell me when
Will I?
Tell me when
Will I see you again?
Tell me when

Kelly took a lifetime
Searching for the bottom line
I wasn't into searching
'Cause I was doing fine
I wasn't into fighting, chasing,
Sweating, slaving, fretting, racing
Any waste of effort
Isn't part of my design
Billy was an inspiration,
positive and kind
Until he let confusion
Overcome his youthful mind
Common sense dictated
I could never be so blind
And then
Then I see you

Tell me when
Will I see you again?
Tell me when
Will I see you again?
Tell me when
Will I see you again?
Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah

Happenstance an episode unplanned,
Alone in time
Coincidence, the second chance
Re-sounding like a rhyme
How paths may cross against the odds
To wreck the plans you made
Among the crowd a face that smiles
To melt your masquerade
If only I could see you
Says the stranger deep inside
And lets you know that when you were
So sure you really lied
If only I could see you
Says the voice within your brain
And quietly, insistently
It says it once again
And then, I really need to know

Chorus

It wouldn't seem so lonely
If only I could see you
Baby, you can be free
If only I could see you
You'll never have to doubt me
If only I could see you
Baby, you could free me
If only I could see you
If only I could see you

Tell me when
Tell me when
Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah

Tell me when
Will I see you again? x3

Then
I really need to know

If only if only if only I could see you
If only I could see you
If only if only if only I could see you
Will I see you again?
If only if only if only I could see you
Will I see you again?
Will I see you again?
If only if only if only I could see you
Will I see you again?
Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah

If only if only if only I could see you
Tell me when
Will I see you again?
Tell me when
Will I see you again?
If only if only if only I could see you
Tell me when
Will I see you again?

If only if only if only I could see you

Ah ah

Here's a song
About living in the past
If it was so good then
How come it didn't last?
If it helps you
I'll put it in a phrase
Those were the times
But these are the days

These are the days x4

The times you're smiling back on
Had that great sitcom
It hardly compensated
For the terror of the bomb
Let me help
'Cause you're looking through a haze
Those were the times
These are the days

These are the days
Hey hey hey
These are the days
Can you hear me now?
These are the days
Look around look around look around
These are the days

These are the days
Hey hey live today
These are the days
It's time to put the past away
These are the days
The more you do the more you say
These are the days
The more I need to get away

You're longing for a time
there never was
Now tell me the truth
You're looking for the reason
It's because
You're fighting for youth
But if I have to listen any more
To fantasy talk
Or any other bug you have
I'm leaving

Now I'm not saying
Everything is really great
Hey hey hey
After sixteen years
Of legalised class hate
Why waste time
Looking back for things to praise?
Those were the times huh
But these are the days

These are the days
Looking back in history
These are the days
Time to get contempory
These are the days
The past is not the place to be

Can you feel it when
your throat dries?
Can you see it in the night sky?
Just a mumble round at tea time
Smile
When I'm watching you

When I was a child
We were living in fear
Living in fear
When I was a child
Just a light year from here
Living in fear

Worlds may shatter
Years don't matter
Words came back to haunt you
Worlds may shatter
Years don't matter
Words came back to haunt you
Friends past missing
Reminiscing
Words came back to haunt you

Tolerating propaganda
And your girlfriend, Alexandra
With her secret memoranda
Signs
For an interview

Searching for the light
In the world of the blahs
Masquerading as stars
How can this be right?
You've been going too far
Leaving conscience ajar

Worlds may shatter
Years don't matter
Words came back to haunt you
Friends past missing
Reminiscing
Words came back to haunt you

When I was a child
We were living in fear
Living in fear

Worlds may shatter
Years don't matter
Words came back to haunt you

Worlds may shatter
Years don't matter
Words came back to haunt you
Friends past missing
Reminiscing
Words came back to haunt you

Worlds may shatter
Years don't matter
Words came back to haunt you
Friends past missing
Reminiscing
Words came back to haunt you

From beyond a message has come
Slowly the last forever has begun
Turn around its revolution
Divine signs must move with the times
Even so they try to mystify
Communications fading with the past

We're sending a cypher a code to be cracked
By a curious someone we need to attract

Pray for me
(Pray for me)
The message endlessly
(The message endlessly)
Repeating constantly
(Repeating constantly)
Can anyone hear ?
Pray for me
(Pray for me)
Be a part of me
As I disappear
(As I disappear)
This is my plea

Change my life till nothing remains
Let the blood run through my veins again
An immaculate injection, a shot of something new
All out faith we have to replace
We are out of time and out of space
A new beginning in a different world

Sister love extinguish all desire
Never born and never died
Take my words from my heart
Help me make a new start today
(Reset my life)
Brother beloved this is my devotion
Everlasting absolute
Give me the strength to see
Believe that you'll receive someway
Believe and let us pray

Pray for me
The message endlessly
Repeating constantly
Can anyone hear ?
Pray for me
(Pray for me)
Be a part of me
As I disappear
This is my plea


Sister love extinguish all desire
Never born and never died
Take my words from my heart
Help me make a new start today
(Reset my life)
Brother beloved this is my devotion
Everlasting absolute
Give me the strength to see
Believe that you'll receive someway
Believe and let us pray

Pray for me (repeat 3 times)

I'm waiting for someone to find me
Someone to pick me up
And make some use of me
In this life of wild adventure
There's so much I could give
Now that's what I call positive

The words that I've read
Keep going round my head
Been driving me crazy for years

Everybody's talking
But I find to hard to hear
They're all explaining something new
(It happens every day)
A new inspiration that can change my way of life
Another big idea
And then they disappear

Undercover at the airport
I saw your smiling face
But I don't have a place to go
So leave a flower or you can fax me
This counterculture's won
The word more dangerous than the gun

This sinister spin
The state that I'm in
The words that I've read
Keep going round my head
Been driving me crazy for years

Everybody's talking
But I find to hard to hear
They're all explaining something new
(It happens every day)
A new inspiration that can change my way of life
Another big idea
And then they disappear

Some will lead and some will follow
That's the way it goes
For all we know another big idea

Everybody's talking
But I find to hard to hear
They're all explaining something new
(It happens every day)
A new inspiration that can change my way of life
Another big idea
And then they disappear

There's a bookstore in town where no-one reads
And those who remember will disappear
I hate to see them getting old
But they're better dead than read
I've just discovered something new
America called and put cables on us
Now it's crazy like Disneyland
The return of the soft machine
The return of the soft machine

Take a look what's going on
The entertainment has begun
Driving in a golden car
Bigger than America

Everybody can be a fool
You can't see it but you know it's coming
The cars are flying and the people dying
Now we're back on the wild side again
Africa screams hot, hard and mean
In Europe the crimes are in the streets
So don't cry baby killer, daddy's gone a-hunting
And you know he'll be back again

The return of the soft machine
And you know he'll be back again
Tell the truth and damn the lies
Crushed by the fortune's famous eyes
Driving in a golden car
Bigger than America

Loadin' up an' havin' fun
The magic circle is the magic gun
Shooting for a golden star
Bigger than America
(repeat 6 times)

Please don't be afraid
Believe what you see
Whisper it a hundred times
A lesson soon to be forgotten
If you feel that life has passed you by

(Dive) Come with me we'll flow into tomorrow
(Dive) We can close our eyes and disappear
(Dive) Just below the threshold of detection
Is something you can't touch, taste, see or...

Here it is - The great escape
Slip with me into the shadows
What would life be without me ?
Master of your fate between two worlds

Don't you see that time is slipping by ?

(Dive) Come with me we'll flow into tomorrow
(Dive) We can close our eyes and disappear
(Dive) Just below the threshold of detection
Is something you can't touch, taste, see or hear

Come to me be my inspiration
We've got to rise above
You've got to dive for love
You've got to dive for love

Come to me and we can touch the sky

(Dive) Come with me we'll flow into tomorrow
(Dive) We can close our eyes and disappear
(Dive) Just below the threshold of detection
Is something you can't touch, taste, see or hear

(Dive) You know that love all pull you under
(Dive) They say the time for miracles is past
(Dive) Hold my hand and dive into the future
The time for us to rise is here at last

Rise
Dive

You spoke softly my name
Not wishing to be heard by anyone
Your gravity take me and pulls me
Into a mysterious world
A sense of expectation when you leave
It's time to go
There goes the girl with everything
She's all pretend, for all I know
She's saves her tears for years and years
Tied to someone else in effort to be free

Who do I believe ?
As the letters in your name wrap around me like a chain
Do I believe ?
As the words rearrange there is nothing I can change
I believe
The madness in your eyes holds tomorrow's sweet surprise
Believe
We can't tell the truth and live with this lie and still survive

That one insane second should never have been
All washed out, too scared to scream
I might as well say it, of course it's untrue
It happened to me, It can happen to you

There's no defence against a dream
I'm falling but there's no-one there to see
It can't be me

I've saved my tears for years and years
Tied to someone else in an effort who be free

Who do I believe ?
As the letters in your name wrap around me like a chain
Do I believe ?
As the words rearrange there is nothing I can change
I believe
The madness in your eyes holds tomorrow's sweet surprise
Believe
We can't tell the truth and live with this lie and still survive

Freak
There's a hole in me that's ten feet wide
There's a window come and look inside
Tell me everything you see
Because some very strange things have been happening to me
To he rhythm of the rain I'm exploring the pain
I slip and slide my own way through
Now I feel like I'm having a ball
But I've got a head full of nothing at all
I'm a ... Freak
The people come and people say
Another day just thrown away
Freak
You listen up to what's been said
Shake those dreams from your sleep head
Freak
It's getting harder to be me
I feel like I'm a refugee
Freak
You're looking for someone to blame
That freak of nature's here again

I'm thrilled to discover there is a lot to forget
I've done so many things I'll never regret
The time has come to hesitate
I've got to make a move so I think I'll wait
I know I'm not stupid but I just can't see
Why everybody thinks there's something wrong with me.
There's nothing in this world can alter my direction
I need to be a freak for my own protection

Freak
The people come and people say
Another day just thrown away
Freak
You listen up to what's been said
Shake those dreams from your sleep head
Freak
It's getting harder to be me
I feel like I'm a refugee
Freak
You're looking for someone to blame
That freak of nature's here again

Listen now and listen to me
This is more or less the way it will be
You're an X and I'm a Y
Just take a look up to the sky...
Around this planet shining bright
I'm just a lonely satellite
I'm as far away as far can be
I'm scared of the 21st century

Freak

The people come and people say
Another day just thrown away
Freak
You listen up to what's been said
Shake those dreams from your sleep head
Freak
It's getting harder to be me
I feel like I'm a refugee
Freak
You're looking for someone to blame
That freak of nature's here again

Tell me
Should I be surprised
By the thought of something new
Slowly
As I realise
Start a fire in my mind
Through earthly desire
To find a better place
Trying to find a way
To heaven and higher
A long way from my world
No tears of emotion for my own devotion

Just like an illusion
It seems so real
This is how I'm going to feel
Maybe forever
I'm stronger
This time
Than I've been before
Tomorrow...Maybe forever

The power of suggestion
Deceiver and deceived
My senses slide away
It's such a distraction
I wish I had no memory
Waiting for someone just like you to find me

Just like an illusion
It seems so real
This is how I'm going to feel
Maybe forever
I'm stronger
This time
Than I've been before
Tomorrow...Maybe forever

The sea of change
Pulls me in
Almost naked
Perfect
Angel
Your voice
Saves me
Dislocate your mind

I'm waiting for someone just like you to find me

Just like an illusion
It seems so real
This is how I'm going to feel
Maybe forever
I'm stronger
This time
Than I've been before
Tomorrow...Maybe forever

In silence
In darkness
Together now at least until
Tomorrow...Maybe forever
The distance between us
Will fade away
People come and stay
Sometimes forever and ever

Maybe forever
Forever and ever and ever ...

Do you feel disturbance ?
A disturbance hits the news
You can't dismiss it or ignore it
And you've waited so long for it
It's the winner's turn to lose
(We can't wait another day)

In Paris and Geneve
In Frankfurt and Berlin
In London, Rome and Lisbon
A crisis will begin
Do you feel anticipation ?
Do you feel you're being used ?
It's the resurrection showdown
It's the winners turn to lose

Let's go all the way
There's a target to destroy
Let's go all the way
There's an army to deploy
Let's go all the way
You're free to make a choice
Are you ready ?
Let's say it now with just one voice

Change, Change, Change
I'm the resurrection man
Let's go all the way
Reach out and touch my hand
Let's go all the way
You know somebody's got to pay
Get ready
Get ready for the judgement day


This is a song of independence
You think you've seen it all before
I know you run and try and hide it
And sometimes you might deny it
But you've got a taste for more
(Isn't that worth fighting for ?)

Let's go all the way
Can't you see that we've had enough
Let's go all the way
Before the going gets too rough
Let's go all the way
You're free to use your voice
Are you ready ?
Win or lose you have a choice

Change, Change, Change
There's a target to destroy
Let's go all the way
There's an army to deploy
Let's go all the way
Someone has got to pay
Get ready
Let's say it now with just one voice

Change, Change, Change
I'm the resurrection man
Let's go all the way
Reach out and touch my hand
Let's go all the way
There's nothing more to say
Are you ready
Get ready for the judgement day

The national nightmare has begun
Empire of fantasy with a dark gloved fist aloft
While the challenger explodes
Banks are failing coming down hard

The way things are going I'm moving to the sun belt
Stars and stripes, forever is a long time
Don't ask me what's to be done
Ask what you can do for your country ?

The Big Dipper' coming down
Miss America's lost her crown
Guess I've spent too long in this old town
No time to run and hide
We've been taken for a ride
America leads the world in teenage suicide

I always thought it would have been great
To be a part of the United States
a land of unmissed opportunity
A friend seems so far ahead
A land safe on film
Untouched by reality
But like a well played record seemed to scratch
The news that real life and cinema don't match
Even Forrest Gump can't save us now

The king of Hollywood is dead
I don't care what the president said
I don't believe in everything I've read
The Big Dipper's coming down
New York's just a shanty town
That distant sound is L.A. burning down

The golden years of justice
The golden years of youth

America !

The Big Dipper' coming down
Miss America's lost her crown
Guess I've spent too long in this old town
No time to run and hide
We've been taken for a ride
America leads the world in teenage suicide
The Big Dipper's coming down
New York's just a shanty town
That distant sound is L.A. burning down
The king of Hollywood is dead
I don't care what the president said
I don't believe in everything I've read

I don't believe everything I see
God only knows I believe in science
Mr. Einstein, help me please
I'd like to know what's really real

Keeping up with the times when everyone looks the same
A synthetic paradise takes the kick out of cocaine
It I want I can have a new obsession every day
An escalating addiction and I know I can afford to pay

The first to be and last to know
Like a film or a book or a TV show
These thing's we're seeing constantly
Pass through and out of you
It pours into the ground and makes rivers flow
It spills into the oceans, makes the feeling grow
Becomes a cloud and rains and rains
But it always leaves you needing more

It's strange the way it feels to live this way
Losing touch as all resistance slips away
There's an eye that lets you see what you want to see
Reach out inside and you cold be what you want to be

It pours into the ground and makes rivers flow
It spills into the oceans, makes the feeling grow
Becomes a cloud and rains and rains
But it always leaves you needing more





It's unreal but it's strange the way it feels the way to live this way

Losing sight, lousing touch as all resistance slips away


In your mind there's an eye that lets you see what you want to see

Then you could reach out inside and you could be what you want to be


Keeping up with the times when everybody looks the same

Synthetic paradise takes the kick out of cocaine

If I want I can have a new obsession every day

An escalating addiction and I know I can afford to pay

It couldn't be clearer
I'll apologise right now
In spectacular language
I think you'll understand somehow
If I need to reach you
We've got to walk a path where love's forgotten

(Love) Diamond skin and clear blue eyes that never see
(Love) Every past needs broken time
Remind me how it used to be
(We blame Love) Heart is beating, mind is thinking
Body's moving
(We blame Love) Don't say another thing
It's dangerous it's deadly just like...

The secret is out
Beyond belief eternally
Naked and recognised
You see I'm just a boy who can't say...

(Love) Is the purest energy
In my philosophy
(Love) Every past needs broken time
Remind me how it used to be

(We blame Love) Fascination, strange attraction
Chain reaction
(We blame Love) For we are wild for truth
It's dangerous it's deadly just like...

It's just a clever trick
I know, bewitching me
But seeing you clouds my eyes
And if it rains then let it rain on me

(Love) Diamond skin and clear blue eyes that never see
(Love) Every past needs broken time
Remind me how it used to be

(We blame Love) Heart is beating, mind is thinking
Body's moving
(We blame Love) I haven't seen your face today
It's dangerous it's deadly just like...

(We blame Love) Fascination, strange attraction
Chain reaction
(We blame Love) For we are wild for truth
It's dangerous it's deadly just like...

Love
The saving of your life
A million times a second
The father of invention

Remind me how it used to be

(We blame Love) Fascination, strange attraction
Chain reaction
(We blame Love) Oh let it rain on me
It's dangerous it's deadly just like...

She's a real space slipper in an
Atomic graveyard she's got
Personal radar she is
Face to face electronically with
Me. I'm a living specimen
A single wing of a broken bird cries
Love
We're safe here in the past
Don't say another thing
I can't just pretend
The memory has left me
Your cold hand warm against my skin
A misinterpretation of tears
A freaky kind of nature
The world's gone mad - and I have

I've never been closer
I've tried to understand
That certain feeling
Carved by another's hand
But it's too late to hesitate
We can't keep on living like this
Leave no track
Don't look back

All I desire
Temptation
Keep climbing higher and higher
Temptation
Adorable creatures
Temptation
With unacceptable features
Temptation
Trouble is coming
Temptation
It's just the high cost of loving
Temptation
You can take it or leave it
Temptation
But you'd better believe it

You've got to make me an offer
That cannot be ignored
So let's head for home now
Everything I have is yours
Step by step and day by day
Every second counts I can't break away
Leave no trace
Hide your face

All I desire
Temptation
Keep climbing higher and higher
Temptation
Adorable creatures
Temptation
With unacceptable features
Temptation
Trouble is coming
Temptation
It's just the high cost of loving
Temptation
You can take it or leave it
Temptation
But you'd better believe it

Keep us from temptation
Lead us not into temptation

Trying to find it
Temptation
You've got to get up behind it
Temptation
Put your dime in the hot slot
Temptation
But it's a million to one shot
Temptation
You think that you're right no
Temptation
You're going to fake it tonight now
Temptation
Give me a breakdown
Temptation
Because it's time for a shakedown

I was thirty-seven
You were seventeen
You were half my age
The youth I'd never seen
Unlikely people meeting in a dream
Heaven only knows the way it should have been

Here today my tomorrow
Where you lead I will follow
All that kissing
No passion missing
Come live with me
Kiss the boys goodbye

Dinner parties followed
And all my age implies
My friends began to talk
I began to realise
If half the things they say
Are quarter true of me
Then how can I eclipse the youth
You gave to set me free

There was something in your smile
That was hard to reconcile
The time had come to testify to reason
Though years will not erase
Remembrance of those days
At least there's no submission to hearts treason

Here today my tomorrow
No more shame only sorrow
All that kissing
There's something missing
Come live with me
Kiss the boys goodbye




Now there's nothing left to cry for
And there's nowhere left to go
Just another hopeless fight
But how were we to know
The strong are sometimes wrong
But the weak are never free
The choice we made we can't evade
Don't try to follow me

Here today my tomorrow
No more pain only sorrow
All that kissing
There's something missing
Come live with me
Kiss the boys goodbye
Come live with me
Kiss the boys goodbye

Call me in the morning just before the breakfast show
We'll watch TV and analyse the weather
Before we go to work we'll have planned the day ahead
We'll while away the working day together
Work all day or work all night it's all the same
If you want to play
Some are nurses
Some steal purses
Some are workers
Some are not
It is time for a party
Liberation for the nation now!

Crushed by the wheels of industry

There's a party going on that's going to change the way we live
but how do we know we've even been invited
Now the invitation's waiting and the table is reserved
So just play it cool and don't get excited
Work all day or work all night it's all the same
Will we ever change
It's vocation or vacation
Some are workers
some are not
It is time for a party
Syncopation for the nation now

Crushed by the wheels of industry


Breaking in the future just before the week is up
They can do it but it's going to take some money
Have what you desire if and when you see the fact
They will lead us to the land of milk and honey
Work all day or work all night it's all the same
If you want the pay
Some drive tankers
Some are bankers
Some are workers
Some are not
It is time for a party
Liberation for the nation now!

How demanding life can be
With a taste for luxury
It's such a modern way to live
A new hotel for the heartbroken
A bright new generation
Running out of time
Step up for the promised land
Pay today and pay tomorrow

Just like home from home
A timeshare in the stars

We're living in a divided world
It's our own creation
It's all too much
We're out of touch
In this united nation
Define the styles, wait for a while
Here comes a new sensation
Let's get it right before tonight
We are designing Heaven

I think at last I've found
A system for success
But the last thing on my mind
Is to arrest my own excess
The things that really count
Don't seem to have a price
Discover what you're missing
Now that it's your turn you can't wait

I say it's up to you
You say it's up to me

We're living in a divided world
It's our own creation
It's all too much
We're out of touch
In this united nation
Define the styles, wait for a while
Here comes a new sensation
Let's get it right before tonight
We are designing Heaven

I'm high enough to see
Nothing to lose
I feel relief
And disbelief
Now I can see

Did you ever wonder
Just how easy it would be ?
To try to rearrange
Your state of mind
If nature had a choice
think you know what it would be
Let us to a woman or a man
Try humanity

We're living in a divided world
It's our own creation
It's all too much
We're out of touch
In this united nation
Define the styles, wait for a while
Here comes a new sensation
Let's get it right before tonight
We are designing Heaven

(Everybody move to prove the groove)
Have you heard it on the news
About this fascist groove thang
Evil men with racist views
Spreading all across the land
Don't just sit there on your ass
Unlock that funky chaindance
Brothers, sisters shoot your best
We don't need this fascist groove thang
Brothers, sisters, we don't need this fascist groove thang

History will repeat itself
Crisis point we're near the hour
Counterforce will do no good
Hot you ass I feel your power
Hitler proves that funky stuff
Is not for you and me girl
Europe's an unhappy land
They've had their fascist groove thang

Brothers, sisters, we don't need this fascist groove thang

Democrats are out of power
Across that great wide ocean
Reagan's president elect
Fascist god in motion
Generals tell him what to do
Stop your good time dancing
Train their guns on me and you
Fascist thang advancing

Brothers, sisters, we don't need this fascist groove thang

Sisters, brothers lend a hand
Increase our population
Grab that groove thang by the throat
And throw it in the ocean
You're real tonight you move my soul
Let's cruise out of the dance war
Come out your house and dance your dance
Shake that fascist groove thang
(Shake it!)

Freak
There's a hole in me that's ten feet wide
There's a window come and look inside
Tell me everything you see
Because some very strange things have been happening to me
To he rhythm of the rain I'm exploring the pain
I slip and slide my own way through
Now I feel like I'm having a ball
But I've got a head full of nothing at all
I'm a ... Freak
The people come and people say
Another day just thrown away
Freak
You listen up to what's been said
Shake those dreams from your sleep head
Freak
It's getting harder to be me
I feel like I'm a refugee
Freak
You're looking for someone to blame
That freak of nature's here again

I'm thrilled to discover there is a lot to forget
I've done so many things I'll never regret
The time has come to hesitate
I've got to make a move so I think I'll wait
I know I'm not stupid but I just can't see
Why everybody thinks there's something wrong with me.
There's nothing in this world can alter my direction
I need to be a freak for my own protection

Freak
The people come and people say
Another day just thrown away
Freak
You listen up to what's been said
Shake those dreams from your sleep head
Freak
It's getting harder to be me
I feel like I'm a refugee
Freak
You're looking for someone to blame
That freak of nature's here again

Listen now and listen to me
This is more or less the way it will be
You're an X and I'm a Y
Just take a look up to the sky...
Around this planet shining bright
I'm just a lonely satellite
I'm as far away as far can be
I'm scared of the 21st century

Freak

The people come and people say
Another day just thrown away
Freak
You listen up to what's been said
Shake those dreams from your sleep head
Freak
It's getting harder to be me
I feel like I'm a refugee
Freak
You're looking for someone to blame
That freak of nature's here again

Once there was a day
We were together all the way
An endless path unbroken
But now there is a time
A torture less sublime
Our souls are locked and frozen

Once we were years ahead but now those thoughts are dead
Let me go
All hopeless fantasies are making fools of me
Let me go
I walk alone and yet I never say goodbye
Let me go
A change of heart a change of mind and heaven fell that night
Let me go

I tried but could not bring
The best of everything
Too breathless then to wonder
I died a thousand times
Found guilty of no crime
Now everything is thunder

Daytime all I want is
Nighttime I don't need the
Daytime all I want is
Nighttime I don't need the

The best years of our lives
The hope of it survives
The facts of life unspoken
The only game in town
I'll turn the last card down
And now the bank is broken

Found guilty of no crime
They were the best years of our lives
I'll turn the last card down

And as the low aggress the high
All you can do is sit and cry
You've only got yourself to blame
Don't try to stop me it's too late
My mind's made up, this job won't wait
There's nothing left for me to say
Hey! There's no need to debate
It's time to designate your fate
Take the M out of M.A.D.
Let's all make a bomb

Take one hundred scientists or more
Place in a room and lock the door
Let them confer for half their lives
Unlock the door, go in and see
What they have made for you and me
A brand new toy to idolize

Hey! There's no need to debate
It's time to designate your fate
Take the M out of M.A.D.
Let's all make a bomb

Although the war has just begun
Ignore the sirens, let's have fun
Put on your best, go out in style
Although our future's looking black
We'll go down town and join the pack
Let's celebrate and vaporise

Sweat my youth away
With the rules we have to play
Speeding through your magazine
Pistol, pavement, no T.V.
Talk and talk
No time, night time
Burnt inside
Here comes the daylight, here comes my job
Uptown in the penthouse or downtown with the mob
Here comes the night time, here comes my role
Goodbye to the pavement, hello to my soul

Now here comes my job
Credit, bleeding with the mob
Dreams become ideals
No one knows the way I feel
Love to love
Daytime, right time
All my life

Here comes the daylight, here comes my job
Uptown in the penthouse or downtown with the mob
Here comes the night time, here comes my role
Goodbye to the pavement, hello to my soul
Feel safe in the crowd
An no one admits they're crying aloud
My career fits like a glove
Knowing no orders can come from above
Work and work
Full time, part time
Anytime at all

As you face the wall
God make it this time or never at all
Before your chance has gone
Captain this lead role and you'll be the one
Shine and shine
This time, my time
Make me free at last

I've never been closer
I've tried to understand
That certain feeling
Carved by another's hand
But it's too late to hesitate
We can't keep on living like this
Leave no track
Don't look back

All I desire
Temptation
Keep climbing higher and higher
Temptation
Adorable creatures

With unacceptable features

Trouble is coming
