Penthouse and Pavement

(We Don't Need This) Fascist Groove Thang
(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!)

Penthouse And Pavement 
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

Play To Win
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

Soul Warfare
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 ther ecan 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 nbeeds can't be denied
A million miles or more
Can't keep me from your door
Tere 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 ther ecan 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 nbeeds can't be denied
A million miles or more
Can't keep me from your door
Tere is no place to run
Until the fighting's done
More bloodshed every day
The soul war's here to stay

Geisha Boys And Temple Girls
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
 
Chorus:
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 tie
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
 
If you turn away from the screen
Another version can be seen
She is black, 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
 
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 tie
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
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, do it wrong
Console yourself that either won't last long
Geisha boys and 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 tie
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

Let's All Make A Bomb
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 vapourize

The Height Of The Fighting
Heat War (They sent you to do it, do it)
Sweat Law (If you can't move it, prove it)
At The Height Of The Fighting
He-la-hu
At The Height Of The Fighting
He-la-hu
Heat War (If you don't like it, fight it)
Sweat Law (If you can't take it, fake it)
Heat War (They sent you to do it, do it)
Sweat Law (If you can't move it, prove it)
At The Height Of The Fighting

At The Height Of The Fighting

Song With No Name
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 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
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 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
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 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 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

We're Going To Live For A Very Long Time
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
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 judgement 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

I'm Your Money
Chemical love bank within your grasp
Social partners with no past
Buy the pleasure commodity
Invest in personal industry
I'm your money
Buy this
Sign here
Order now our emotional life
I'm offering you the post of wife
Plus the overnight treasury
It'll work for you if it works for me
She's the voice that'll make you stop
First encounter with the man at the top
Pay with personal credit slip
Express American cencorship
I'm your money
Buy that
Sign here
Wine and dine now that you're the boss
There's no hotel to break your loss
Admit relationship unresolved
Chemical love bank has been dissolved
I'm your money

The Luxury Gap

Crushed By The Wheels Of Industry
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!

Who'll Stop The Rain
Who'll stop the rain
Who'll stop the action
East side west side
The world moves on
I heard a rumour that fires were started
Flame in the streets and tension uncharted
Bigger than life at the edge of the city
Ashes and diamonds gleaming with pity
Who'll stop the rain
Who'll stop the action
East side west side
The world moves on
Between midnight and dawn you slept through the deadlines
Believe in me and we'll hit the tall headlines
Look up and laugh be happy today
Here come the waves count three pray
Who'll stop the rain
Who'll stop the action
East side west side
The world moves on
A global affair in big house U.S.A.
A moving violation angels over Broadway
The next voice you hear will be the main attraction
The next time we love standby for action
Meet me tonight and love me for ever
Let's be happy let's be famous whatever the weather
The rain must fall and night time is calling
Golden boy and golden girl it's a great day in the morning
Who'll stop the rain
Who'll stop the action
East side west side
The world moves on

Let Me Go
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

Key To The World
I'm working every hour but I'm heading for a crash
I'm sick of living fast and running short of cash
Tell me what's so bad about wanting to feel so good
I want a better life and I'd like to buy one if I could
I've got my key
I've got my key to the world
Liquidity don't bother me
I've got my key to the world
They'll send me all their money and all I have to do is sign
Living in a big way a winner all the time
In just five golden hours I'd bought myself a car
I sold my soul for charge plate gold we know who you are
My key to the world
It's all too easy
Buying items on your wish list it's easier than you think
But trying to fill the luxury gap has pushed me to the brink
To friends I am a legend the man who had them beat
But to the credit agencies I'm Mr. Obsolete ---- delete!
My key to the world

Temptation
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

Come Live With Me
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

Lady Ice And Mr Hex
Stop!
Does he know the way out of here
Or will she again interfere
It's happening all over again
Lady Ice and Mr. Hex
She'll leave you could he'll make you flex
They disappear without a trace
Accelerate and take your place
The creep's arrived he's in your home
Like all the dreams you've never known
He's standing by to steal your luck
He's spotted you you're panic struck
Stop!
Stop!
They're standing either side of you
They guide you but they block your view
Lady Ice with medium cool
Will set you up she's watching you
She'll trip you out and trap you in
Strain every nerve to make you spin
He'll pick you up and make you strong
Thrust up, boost on, the man is gone
Stop!
Does he know the way out of here
Or will she again interfere
It's happening all over again
Look!
They made me a promise today
They know that I can't go away
It's happening all over again

We Live So Fast
Please don't ask me to stay
I'm leaving this town
Don't worry now
Believe me as I believe that
Luck is on my side
The future is mine
If I can find
A way through these strange days of my life
We live so fast
Motion, motion
No time to waste
Use it, use it
We live so fast
Motion, motion
Make the first step and reach out for tomorrow
We live so fast
Motion, motion
We can't stand still
Move it, move it
We live so fast
Motion, motion
Move out of my way it's time to make it happen
The streets deserted and cold
They're not paved with gold
But I don't care
For those who think young will still survive
Making their move
Hoping to prove
That they can face
This big city, small world, big time
We live so fast
Motion, motion
No time to waste
Use it, use it
We live so fast
Motion, motion
Make the first step and reach out for tomorrow
We live so fast
Motion, motion
We can't stand still
Move it, move it
We live so fast
Motion, motion
Move out of my way it's time to make it happen
But now I know their ways
I found my place
Saw their true face
There's nothing to stay for so I'll go
I'll pick up the phone
Still searching for home
We life so fast
Alone but not lonely I move on
We live so fast
Motion, motion
No time to waste
Use it, use it
We live so fast
Motion, motion
Make the first step and reach out for tomorrow
We live so fast
Motion, motion
We can't stand still
Move it, move it
We live so fast
Motion, motion
Move out of my way it's time to make it happen

How Men Are

The Best Kept Secret
The view outside
The best kept secret
No one can reach it
No one believes
It's in the air
A chance to run now
So here I come now
It's time to leave
Who can remember just who is the leader
A soft spoken showman, accepted, encouraged
While under the cities the shuffle of money is speaking
The power of choice is the power of reason
The power of voice is the key to the world
So now just count the times that the chill in their words
Leaves you freezing
Tell me you're safe
That I'm not dreaming
No night thoughts screaming
No face in the rain
For the first time
The view is clearing
No longer fearing
The shadow of pain
A certain smile conceals the highest card
Beyond this place the rains are falling hard
Someone somewhere
The voice you never hear
Salvation ringing clear
Always ahead
Please help me now
To see the blazing light
The stars return tonight
Burning so red
Who can remember just who is the leader
A soft spoken showman, accepted, encouraged
While under the cities the shuffle of money is speaking
The power of choice is the power of reason
The power of voice is the key to the world
So now just count the times that the chill in their words
Leaves you freezing
A certain smile conceals the highest card
Beyond this place the rains are falling hard
Falling hard
Falling hard

Five Minutes To Midnight
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 sword
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

Sunset Now
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 strenght 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)

This Is Mine
No more wasting time
Synchronize
Tell them this is mine
Don't
Walk the other way
Tell me you will stay
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?
Look into my eyes
And together we will rise
Above all we've seen
We will realize, synchronize

The Fuse
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

Shame Is On The Rocks
Guess who's walking in your tracks
(Don't look back)
Forcing you to re-enact
(Making contat)
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...

The Skin I'm In
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

Flamedown
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 surrrender
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)

Reputation
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

And That's No Lie
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?
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
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
How was I to know?
So discreet, no-one speaks
Take the word from here
If you play you've got to pray
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

Pleasure One

Contenders
We're going to stop this world from turning
We build it up you knock it down
If you go high then we'll go higher
Beyond the sky without a sound
It's gonna take a lot but we got plenty
Keep building up keep movin' round
If you use ten then we'll use twenty
They're up above and undergrond - all around
We've won we've lost we've counted up the cost
And we've evened out the scores we are contenders
I'm telling you so pay attention
These words of truth come from above
In God we trust and he has told me
I need you now and I'm talking love
We want a piece of what you're selling
Put up your hands and face the wall
How much it costs there is no telling
How much it costs to walk so small - and we're so tall
In truth we dare we people just don't care
We've got you running scared we are contenders
Rich or poor or hiding from the law
You know what we've got in store we are contenders
You're black, or white, Arab, Christian, Israelite
We are hiding in plain sight we are contenders
Don't bother asking for a favour
I always get all that I want
Though some are foolish we are braver
Than those who do not have a bomb
Forget the turning of the seasons
Let's escalate and never stop
And yes we've talked but for no reason
Let's start agan right from the top - countdowm
10 - 9 - 8 - 7 - 6 - 5 - 4 - 3 - 2 - 1
Got the world on a string but it ain't got that swing
You speed it up we slow it down
A frontier wilder than the West ever was
No sheriff round this outlaw town
So Superman if you're listening
Help us out you're on the team
For truth and justice, the American way
The fight for right's not what it seems - with laser beams
With gun and sword there is no reward
But we're fighting on we are contenders
We've won we've lost and we've counted up the cost
And we've evened out the scores we are contenders
You're black, or white, Arab, Christian, Israelite
We are hiding in plain sight we are contenders
No virgin birth is going to claim the earth
We know what you're worth we are contenders

Trouble
I'm in a place where nothing ever happens
I'll try one day to walk away
But for now I'll hand around
I am a fool without exception
I break every rule
But I never break away
 
(Trouble) - It's walking my way
I feel it moving closer day after day
(Trouble) - I'm talking to you
It's getting hot in here but what can I do
 
Sometime, someplace I'll make it happen
Yours is the face, to help me set this time ablaze
I've always thought there's no protection
You'll walk through the door
And I'll never want for more
 
(Trouble) - Again and again
It's not so simple and I never know when
(Trouble) - For me and for you
The trouble's double now we're fighting for two
 
We'll take this place we'll make it happen
We'll leave them behind
We'll leave them all to change their minds
The trouble is with the solution
One's not so strong, but with two of us we can't go wrong
 
(Trouble) - I'm talking to you
It's getting hot in here but what can I do
(Trouble) - Again and again
It's not so simple and I never know when
(Trouble) - I'm talking to you
It's getting hot in here but what can I do

Somebody
You've got to face the fact
That in the world today
They try and take away the blue skies
And all the children that play
But it's a curious fact
In every hour in every place
That when the right time arrives
It feels so good to be alive
Somebody
Can't you see
I'm a boy out of fashion
Somebody
I'm not part of any nation
Now I'm back in circulation
When the right time arrives will you be there
Tomorrow or a hundred years from now
I've wasted years just keepin' movin' on
It never entered my head it was here all along
Don't ask me why just lead me on
Somebody
Talk to me
I can hear what you're saying
Somebody
Tired of the city air
If I gave you the future would you meet me there
I used to stumble and fall
I'd run to everyone that called
Since you appeared it's been a lot of fun
Between you and me, between the truth and a lie
You have a husband and I have a wife
And when you ask me why with your kissing eyes
How could we be so wrong, oh my oh my oh my
You'll always be there the same as any other
You like a sister and me like a brother
Like all the times I used to dream
Somebody
Smile at me
Let me know that you're near me
Somebody
I can see that you're near me
It's the only sound on the city street
If I sing you my song will you move your feet
Somebody
Every moment you're nearer
I'm broken down and in a mess
Your love is all that I confess
Somebody
Now I know that you're near me
I don't mean to shock, I don't mean to scare
But the world won't change and I don't care
I used to dream
One day somebody near me
I can't believe you're making me
A rich man, poor man, beggar man, thief
There's a strange new rhythm in my life
It burns like the sun and cuts like a knife
Everybody chic or shoddy
Turn it loose and use your body

If I Were You
The tenth of May
It seems so far away
When you and I were strangers moving close together
Sometimes it seems
It's almost like a dream
Driving across the country and the road is endless
If I were you
Don't wait until tomorrow
I'd lead and wouldn't follow
Walk away - today
If I were you - please listen
Walk away - I'd say
If I were you 'go away'
The first of June
The summer came too soon
But from the day we met I knew you'd never go away
Sometimes I feel
The passion's not so real
Finding it strange to be together, not alone
If I were you
I'd smile and close the door
I'd never ask for more
Walk away - don't stay
If I were you - believe me
Walk away - I'd say
If I were you 'go away'
Fourth of July
With an independent sigh
I think the time's arrived to take what's going to happen
Wise men may say
It's easier to stay
But if you are there I'm only wasting time
If I were you
I know I'd want to hurt me
It wouldn't disconcert me
Walk away - I'd pray
If I were you - I'd leave me
Walk away - today
If I were you - please listen
Walk away - don't stay
If I were you - believe me
Walk away - I'd pray
If I were you - I'd leave me
Walk away
Walk away
Walk away
Walk away
I'd leave if I were you

Low Society
A judge a dentist or physician
In this low society
Trade ambition for position
In this low society
Have you heard it's in the stars
Next July we collide with Mars
Have you heard it in the bars
In this low society
No more pay and lots of leisure
In this low society
Low society
I'm just doing what I can
In this low society
But I'm an incidental man
In this low society
I give away what others sell
The secret's yours so never tell
'Cos if you do you'll go to hell
Low society
Side by side and always tired
All for one and no-one hired
All that's left is love inspired
Low society
And when the party is complete
And you're still standing on your feet
The taste of victory is sweet
Low society
And darling don't forget
In this low society
To turn off your T.V. set
In this low society
The most important thing at all
In this low society
Is not to stand too tall
In this low society
In this world that never learns
I can see Rome as it burns
All the passion and the power
Turns to ash within an hour
No more play and no more pleasure
In this low society

Red
The streets are full of stars again tonight
And an angel writes a word across the sky
When the people laugh there's no sound
And the words keep falling round and round
And the world just keeps on watching
Till there's nothing left to buy
I don't believe it
Well they don't care
It's moving closer
It's everywhere
Everything around us turning red - red
You walk into your home
You walk it talks - red
The fever's taken over everyone
And the only law that matters is the gun
The people run from every slum
There's nowhere safe to watch it from
The underground is over now
There's nothing that can be done
I don't believe it
Well they don't care
It's moving closer
It's everywhere
Everything around us turning red
You walk into a bar
You drink it smokes - red
You're driving in your car
You turn it burns - red
As the air becomes too hot for us to breathe
There's none of us that really want to leave
From the frozen north to the sun soaked south
The colour spreads by word of mouth
Till there's no-one left to talk to
We just look into the screen
Well I don't believe it
Well they don't care
It's moving closer
It's everywhere
Everything around us turning red - red
You walk into your home
You walk it talks - red
You walk into a bar
You drink it smokes - red
You're driving in your car
You turn it burns - red
You're on the telephone
You talk it's always - red
You walk into your home
You walk it talks - red
You walk into a bar
You drink it smokes - red
Red! - Red! - Red! - Red!

Look At Me
I know a place where we can talk
A precious smile poor little girl so pale and proud
Hold me
Control me
So proud
You're on the town you're on your own
Don't walk away don't pass me by and run for home
Hold me
Control me
Don't run for home
I followed you I tracked you down
And now it's time to go underground
I've never been alone with you
So hold my hand and lead me through
If you say I'll make room for you
If you do exactly what I tell you to
The saddest face the perfect thing
It's time to face what's happening
Now that you're here
There's nothing to fear
Just look at me
Look at me
There's something I cannot resist
Let me tell you what it is
It's when you walk away from me
I promise not to set you free
Don't try to run I'm everywhere
If you escape then I'll be there
I know a place where we can talk
I'll walk with you, don't hide away
And leave me here alone
Not here alone
Alone with you
I think you always knew
Just look at me
Look at me
Look at me
Look at me
You're on the town you're not alone
I can't give up poor little girl so sweet and small
So sweet and small
Hold me
Control me
Please
Hold me
Control me
Look at me
Look at me

Move Out
I fell in love on the day we met
It was a purely physical thing
We talked and talked I like your mouth
Your mind's O.K. but I love your body
We haven't slept for days now
Ooh your body
We haven't slept for nights
Ooh your body body
Nothing's going to stop me
Ooh your body
This is a title fight
Ooh your body body
I made you laugh and you made me cry
I know it's wrong but I'll never miss you
You locked me up I don't know why
But there's no law against escaping
It doesn't really matter
What you say to me
Nothing's going to stop me
What will be will be
I had a dream I was on a train
I met this girl she was prettier than you
Do what you want but don't wake up
Close your eyes and let's get started
I know a secret locked in ice
Until I die I'm taking action
There must be more that we can do
Where am I just when I need you
Wrap me in your body
I'll wrap you everywhere
No one's going to miss me
I know that no-one cares
I've been in your body
I've been in your car
You know I've had enough now
Y'know what the reasons are
Move out
I'll leave today going away
Move out
I'm ready to go
Move out
Move out
Free
Here as I sit in this lonely square
This train of thought runs through my mind
I like it best when the choice is mine
I want to be free to speak my mind
And if I cry I want no-one to be there (be there)
Free to do what I want to do
And you should share this freedom too
If I lie it must be for a reason
We've come a long way now
There's still a way to go
And still we're moving onwards
For all that you might think we are innocent
Innocent people
We are free
I'm working hard
I'm looking for the week-end
Oh! My good God
How the work is hard
And when it's down to getting home
We don't know what to do - do you
I hurry home
All the people seem to hurry
Don't push me on
I think for myself
We move as one
We like to keep it all together
I take it all
No problem at all
I'm a page in the book
Oooh take a look
I'm a part of the whole
All my body and soul
I want you to know I've cried me a river
Why can't this taker change into a giver
Why can't I work it out
I want to be free
Free in what I'm choosin'
Free with no excuses
Free to see the people
And to move ooo! ooo! ooo!
Free to choose my lover
Free to choose my brother
Free to need another
And I do - I need you
I'm having a ball
I'm part of the wall
No-one sees me at all
I'm asking for one dance
I know that there won't be a second chance
There's no return
I'm ready to burn
I think I'll never learn
I'm looking for direction
What I need from you is real protection
I've done my best
I've failed the test
I don't care about the rest
Won't someone set me free
Free in what I'm choosin'
Free with no excuses
Free to see the people
And to move ooo! ooo! ooo!
Free to choose my lover
Free to choose my brother
Free to need another
And I do - I need you

Excerpts From "Diary Of A Contender"

Tuesday 21/5 1985
This morning the sky hung heavy; a dirty, yellow sky that kept me in bed longer than I should have been in bed. A thunderclap, as loud as a bomb, shot me into action. I was dressed and ready to leave for the studio in ten minutes. Today, I'm in the car, for better or for worse. Not wishing to go too far into the jungle of sound we stopped. We start another path.

Tuesday 23/5 1985
Deep in fear of running down the child I pull into the estate. We are not late. Socks, money, shirts, photographs of loved ones, tea, book, telephone book, international driving license. We also need a day of love before we go.
I speak of a spirit, as free as the wind, able to travel anywhere in the world, nay, the universe; and yet, the only place that this spirit wishes to be is home. But is this not the wish of the governing forces that are higher even than the said spirit? Even the seed blown from the tree has a predestined point; a point that must be met at some time. Paris has lost so much romance.

Thursday, 30th May 1985
We return at dawn on Saturday; and it seems that the tunnel will not be discovered by the guards. Remorse is for the birds! We speak of a dangerous dress that the girl puts on when she finds her lover. Fear in the spring. Feeling of pleasure inside us all, war is over, "come home, come home" could have been the cry but alas the heroes of some long forgotten war we are expected to carry on as if the memory of the past is a pain which even love could not overcome. We did have too much. We have had enough. There will be more but tomorrow will be over the page as it always is. Help please help me.

Friday, May 31st
This is where the boys took a strange turn. What was to be a simple film soundtrack turned out to be more of an ordeal. Ian, now only having one leg and laid up in a Paris hospital, was being visited by a gay black man that he'd met in a nightclub. Martyn was lost forever in the underground of Paris.
This last day in Paris and my stomach is in total turmoil. My heartbeat is too fast. I cannot sit down, my thoughts revolve around only one thing, yet I cannot focus my attention at all. Is it that we have broken some unknown universal rule? Have we somehow angered a long-forgotten god? And why, why when life for so long would seem to be worth living? Must this bolt of unleashed fear be set free within my body? My mind is unclear. Am I to be set free from the prison that I am in fear of leaving? Time will tell us all. I know this but still a human would try to guess, or predict, or dream how it will end... a totally pointless exercise. And yet, even though I know this, I find myself reaching into the future with all my powers, which are few, to try and glimpse a single look of the end. Oh, how fucking futile the unexpected can be!
Today is bright, as yesterday was dark. The brightness comes from within, but for me, my inner light is fast fading. Did I ever get that day of life? Ian is safely at home with his parents in Sheffield, Martyn is living in Amsterdam, and Glenn is alone. How often as children we played at being something we were not; now that we are grown all this play-acting is to stop, love must take over this desire to be someone or something else. We all have love to give but not all of us get given love.

Tuesday, 13/7 1985
A long time, a lot done, new places have been seen, new things have been tried. Today is okay to tell the world that we are fine. ALL INVOLVED ARE FINE - I think...

Big Square People
Another square day
And another square week
And another square year
And another square lifetime
If you turn me on like you turn it on
Big Square People
If you look at me the way you watch TV
Big Square People
You're digging it round when it should be square
Big Square People
When the screen is blank there's no-one there
Big Square People
I've seen you watching it day and night
You don't miss the big game or big fight
All those dimensions all those race (?)
Come in action (?)
The world's full of greed and envy and lust
If they don't get you the (?) must
Turn on at daybreak before you're awake
I turn it off now
Big Square People
(repeat)
Turn of the brightness, the colour and sound
The Big Square People in sensorround
Before too long the damage is done
To Big Square People Television is such fun
They come in action from every direction
With every booster and (?)
They're sending signals from satellite sky
Soon you're on TV and you don't know why
Hey, come on down, you're looking good
If they said 'Jump' I really think that you would
'Cause TV is God and Heaven's Hollywood
You're digging it round when it should be square
Big Square People
When the screen is blank there's no-one there
Big Square People
Get up from the chair you look like a slug (?)
Take the tip from the TV go and find a job
But there are no jobs, there is no pay
'But that's not what the people on the TV say'
They say to me 'I'll be what you wanna be,
Let's join the army maybe see the sea'
Turn of the brightness, the colour and sound
Turn of the (?) let's going around
Turn on at daybreak before you're awake
Let's turn it off now before it's too late
(Turn it off !)
Don't Stop for No-one
Don't stop for no-one
And then it goes on
(repeat 3 times)
One day my father said to me
'It's time for you to leave,
But don't wait for me, it's pre-destiny'
Don't wait around for someone to believe in
You know, history don't stop for no-one
Just like Moses waiting on the mountain
You know, history don't stop for no-one
Don't hang around in the Babylonian Gardens
You know, history don't stop for no-one
(?) tourist attraction
You know, history don't stop for no-one
Don't stop for no-one
And then it goes on
(repeat)
Sometimes I told I must confess
To a life of tenderness
But I just repeat what he said to me:
'Don't close your eyes because seeing is believing'
You know, history don't stop for no-one
(?) child, fighting for a meaning
You know, history don't stop for no-one
Don't dream too long, it's time to awake now
You know, history don't stop for no-one
Like sleeping Lucy waiting for a kiss now
You know, history don't stop for no-one
I think you know the way it's gonna go now
You know, history don't stop for no-one
From Aztech kings to New York queens
And then it goes on
Snake and Two People
There is a snake with the evil
In the Garden of Eden
There is a tree with the apple
And the apple was eaten
Now the trouble has started
In the Garden of Eden
But there is only two people
And it's evil believing
Where did Adam go ?
And how was Eve to know ?
This is how it all started
In the Garden of Eden
Now what does it matter,
That the apple was eaten ?
What does it matter,
That the people were leaving ?
Let me tell you the truth now
About the trouble and (?)
(?)
(?) deceiving
Where did Adam go ?
And how was Eve to know ?
This is how it all started
In the Garden of Eden
Where's that snake ?
(repeat)
I fell down on my knees
And I searched through the trees
Oh, I need some assistance
Can you hear from that distance
So I set up my (?)
Can I dance with your daughter ?
He said: '(?) you want, son, but I don't think you (?) her'
Where did Adam go ?
And how was Eve to know ?
This is how it all started
In the Garden of Eden
Where did Adam go ?
And how was Eve to know ?
There is a snake with the evil
In the Garden of Eden
Where did Adam go ?
And how was Eve to know ?
This is how it all started
In the Garden of Eden
Can You Hear Me
So you send them back
And I began to cry
But I can let you know
That I will let you go
You cover up your smile
And I'm afraid to move
This time I get it right
I'll get somebody new
You've got to sound that you mean it
(Ooooh, ooooh)
(Can you hear me)
You've got to mean that you want it
(Ooooh, ooooh)
(Can you hear me)
(repeat paragraph)
Hey, when did this all start
Your (?) stuff is your heart
And I have a night
When everything goes right
(?)
Too late to carry on
If I have a day
When everything goes wrong
You've got to sound that you mean it
(Ooooh, ooooh)
(Can you hear me)
You've got to mean that you want it
(Ooooh, ooooh)
(Can you hear me)
(repeat paragraph)
(?) on your door step every night
Until I get to see you
I spend my weekends on the phone
I'll make you listen
I'll write a letter every single day
Until I get an answer
I'm gonna try every single way
I know, I'm gonna find you
You've got to sound that you mean it
(Ooooh, ooooh)
(Can you hear me)
You've got to mean that you want it
(Ooooh, ooooh)
(Can you hear me)
(repeat until fade)
The Ballad of Go-Go Brown
If that's why they call him Go-Go Brown
He'd say (?)
If that's why some people put him down
He'd say it costs his name as Go-Go Brown
All the girls in town
Used to follow him around
Go-Go Brown
Go-Go Brown
All the boys would sing
We're gonna make this Go-Go king
Go-Go Brown
Go-Go Brown
Go-Go Brown is the smartest guy by far
A brand new girlfriend and a brand new car
The girls all thought that he was heaven-sent
'One day this boy will be a president'
All the church bells ring
When that Go-Go used to sing
Go-Go Brown
Go-Go Brown
Here the people say
'He's gonna be someone someday'
Go-Go Brown
Go-Go Brown
Then one day some bad men came to call
And Go-Go knew it's time to take a fall
He's been smoking since the age of ten
He took some crack, he sold some smack
And now he's in the pen
All the girls in town
Used to follow him around
Go-Go Brown

All the boys would sing
We're gonna make this Go-Go king
Go-Go Brown
Go-Go Brown
He raised them all
Yes he do
He faced the wall
Yes he did
He stood tall
Yes he do
Who did he let down
Just one man that's Go-Go Brown (?)
All the church bells ring
When that Go-Go used to sing
Go-Go Brown
Go-Go Brown
Here the people say
'He's gonna be someone someday'
Go-Go Brown
Go-Go Brown
All the girls in town
Used to follow him around
Go-Go Brown
Go-Go Brown
All the boys would sing
We're gonna make that Go-Go king
Go-Go Brown
Go-Go Brown
All the girls in town
Used to follow him around
Go-Go Brown
Go-Go Brown

Responsibility
It's not my responsibility
If you say you love me
(Ooooooh)
I know for sometime
One day I would see you
(?) what you say
Did I get it right
Is it you and me tonight ?
And you looked at me
And I knew we'd be together
(Be together)
You feel it too
What can we do
(Feel, what can you do)
Come on, move up to me
I wanna whisper in your ear now
(Do you want me)
When I get you home
We're gonna be alone
Disconnect the phone
When we wake up
You know the room is full of sunshine
We close our eyes and make a wish
It's not my responsibility
If you say you love me
(Listen to what I say)
(Ooooooh)
It's not my responsibility
If you say you love me
(It's true)
(Ooooooh)
Hey ! You call me back
'Cause I'm not there when you want me
(Do you want me)
The job on the phone
Every night and day
I've got to get away
And on that we kiss
But I never said I loved you
(I love you)
Let's take it slow
You've got to, got to let it go
It's not my responsibility
If you say you love me
(Ooooooh)
(Want you back, I need you back)
(Ooooooh)
(Want you back)
(I know I do)
(I need you back)
(I feel you do)
(Want you back)
(I see you do)
(I need you back)
(I know you do)
What do you see
When you're looking straight at me
When I look at you
I tell you what I see
You don't belong to me
Sometimes it's true
You're gonna leave it when it's over
(It's over)
I close my eyes and make a wish
It's not my responsibility
If you say you love me
(Ooooooh)
Giving Up
When I was young
I was told what to want
I've got a wife and babies too
I've tried so hard
But all my feelings have gone
So have my wife and money too
So I'm giving up
Time for easy action
So I'm giving up
I'm gonna do what I want
I always worked if I envy part of the scheme of things (?)
One weeks work one weeks pay
I find it hard
The (?) not so easy
So I'm heading up and moving out
Giving up
It's a cool reaction
Oh I'll give it up
Don't want to fight no more
Giving up
Time for easy action
There's always been a feeling down inside of me
I don't care I (?)
I'm off the wall
Giving up
Time for easy action
I'm giving up
I'm gonna do just what I want
Giving up
It's a cool reaction
Oh I'll give it up
Don't want to fight no more
Giving up
Time for easy action
Giving up
What I wanted was before
Giving up
It's a cool reaction
Giving up
I shall overcome
The Last Seven Days
You don't wake up
You (?) wake up
There's someone hiding in the dark
Who is pulling his country apart
I've had seven days
And we want forget
The last seven days
And then it's over
One week in chains
And then we are free
Seven days alone
And then we're going home
Who want's a war ?
Who want's a firestorm ?
In the brightest day
Or the blackest night
Who are the ones who will fight ?
I've had seven days
And we want forget
The last seven days
And then it's over
(Chorus)
When will you learn
You've had your turn
Watch the go rush round and round
Watching them burning he town
I've had seven days
And we want forget
The last seven days
And then it's over
One week in chains
And then we are free
Seven days alone
And then we're going home
Foolish Thing To Do
I was thinking just the other day
How it started in such a strange way
It ended in a strange way too
And this is why I am singing this song for you
It's a foolish thing to do
Such a foolish thing to do
Give your heart to someone new
It's a foolish thing to do
(Yeah)
We've all made the same mistakes
One foolish glance one smile we made
A hundred thousand feel this way
While other people are just waiting for the day
It's a foolish thing to do
Such a foolish foolish thing to do
Go when you want it
When you need it
Don't just believe it
For the first an last time
Stop !
You'd better look around
One day you'll walk into the room
Your eyes will meet
You'll fall in love too soon
The next time you might hesitate
The chance is all those rooms have eyes
So don't forget
It's a foolish thing to do
Such a such a foolish thing to do
To go and give your heart and soul to someone new
It's a foolish foolish thing to do
So when you feel it
When you can touch it
And you believe it
For the first an last time
Stop !
You'd better look around
It's a foolish thing to do
Such a foolish thing to do
Bigger Than America
Dive
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

Designing Heaven
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
We Blame Love
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
Another Big Idea
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
Freak!
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
Bigger Than America
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 bullet is the magic gun
Shooting for a golden star
Bigger than America
(repeat 6 times)
Extra Lyrics on Japanese version:
I had a job I had a place
Disappeared without a trace
Drinking in a golden bar
Bigger than America
Take a look what's going on
The entertainment has begun
Driving in a golden car
Bigger than America
Unreal Everything
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
The Big Dipper
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
The golden years of liberty
The golden years of truth
Laser bombin'
Status seekin'
Trail blazin'
Frontier pushin'
Space racin'
Earth quakin'
Jesus freakin'
Serial killin'
Cult crushin'
Net surfin'
Networkin'
Fast talkin'
Gun runnin'
Fun lovin'
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
Do I Believe?
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
Resurrection Man
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
Maybe Forever
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 ...
An Electronic Prayer
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
Be a part of me
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
