I could talk of memories
I could talk of miracles
I can't talk of anything but you
I remember everything
Even how you laughed at me
I remember every word you said
'Love is a game
Love is a game that we play
Love is a game
Love is a game and you lose
Welcome to Love'
Now you're waiting for someone
Waiting for the phone to ring
And I wonder who you're waiting for
There is nothing I can say
There are no good words for this
There is nothing more that I can do
'Lovers are fools
Lovers are foolish in the dark
Lovers are fools
Lovers are foolish and blind
Welcome to Love'
Confiscate letters like D.E.B.
No natural course of things for her to expect
Withdraw the feelings 'You can, you can't'
I called your number as you told the world
Something is wrong
There is no longer any normal to me
You're my assassin but you can't see the crime
Pointless possessions of me & you & greed
I looked at you mistaking needles for eyes
Something is wrong
Confiscate letters like D.E.B.
No natural course of things
For her to expect
Withdraw the feelings 'You can, you can't'
I called your number as you told the world
Someone is wrong
I'll find the answer
You'll take mystery to bed
My sister Coma she was always too shy
You told the story crying
'Darling, too good to last'
We are not
What you've been waiting for
We are not
The things you need
We are not
Softly singing love songs
All we are
Here for is right
Room for one more
Here in this room
We play games
Room for one more
Here in this room
You can feel it all
We need it
To keep the shakes away
We need it
To help us breathe
We need it
For everything we feel
We need it
Like we need you
-repeat chorus-
We break down
Start up the smile I suppose
You learn quick
You learn nothing
One more girl
Just leaves us wanting more
This young love
Just leaves us cold
-repeat chorus-
We are, we are
The machines
We'll play 'games' for you.
Come inside
You're welcome to choose
She is a new fascination,
The cold face of love.
He is a puppet who dances and
Screams with 'the fear'.
We'll show you religion
We'll show you a new god
We'll show you the secret of love/fear
Roll up, roll up
We are clean
We serve you, just for now
We are friends
They call me 'the priest'
Welcome, welcome
We are good
No-one cries for you
We are kind
You'll stay here forever.
Welcome
We are good
We are kind
We are clean
We are friends
Come inside
We are the machines
Welcome.
Get the need
Get it.
I'm in the movies.
Hello young thing
I'm an old film star
Maybe you've seen my picture.
I need it
Like an old newsreel
I'm just fading away.
Bang bang dear
I've got the needles
And I've got the need
If you'd be so kind.
Come on and feel the need in me
Come on and feel the need.
Feel it!
Hello young thing
I've got reverse instructions
In the back of my car.
I need it
Don't cry till this thing is over
And my friends applaud.
Bang bang dear
When can we do this again
And put it all on film
Hello young love
I've got something to show you
And please don't be ashamed.
I'm the man
I'm the atrocity film star
And I've got the need.
Final bow
In a disused music hall
Of laughter and mime
The airwave police
Were the only
Admirers to admire
Sliding sideways in a rusty old Ford
The drivers broke down and
A young girl screams
Walking through rock dreams
Tall stories
Mobile T.V. radio
Nobody came
The station is abandoned
Deserted for peace day
Some old man said 'Just do your best'
And I think passed away
My shadow is never far behind
And I must find another role to play
Visit maskmaker
Please bend my mind
Someone, no one
I really don't mind
Nobody cares
That's OK
If that's the way you wanna play it
I don't mind
I can play it anyway
You won't stop
Until I pul you to pieces
Which I will in time
But I'm still curious
You're so young
Not one backbone between you
But you think you'll make a hero
Quite peculiar
You're just boys
You don't know what you've angered
Did you know you're talking to the heart
Of the machine?
Welcome boys
Welcome to the real world
I could almost be sorry
But I could be wrong
I know you
I know what you've been doing
I know where you live
And I know where you are
You know me
I'm the smiling assassin
You know I won't forgive
And you know I won't forget
It was hard to avoid
I suppose it was the shame
But they didn't even try
You see we'd never met
And they didn't have names
There was nothing I could do
So I turned on the crowd
And I screamed ";you and you";
";It could have been you";
And they seemed to think
That I looked that way
Or maybe I was wrong
So I said do you know Mr. Wall
And they looked the other way
And then they smiled at me
But the police came
And I said it was me
And I just walked away
The dream police
Slogan: ";What is on your mind?";
The airwave boys
Junkies won't get radio time
The purist league
White trenchcoats in pre-war style
The aging queens
Mister won't you stay a while?
In death row with Harlow
And others like you
I point my finger of hate
At your picture and love you and love you
The radio is talking
Is it you or me?
I must admit
It's far too late to dial police
What is your name?
We are the end of the line
Her eyes went out
Dreaming ";overdose on time";
Hey you old grey eyes
Don't practice dying for real
The only one
September she knows I can feel
It's so quiet and dark
And I shouldn't be here
This machine won't last
For always
Just my steel friend and me
I stand brave by his side
This machine is all
I live for
I can see in your eyes
You're not so sure about me
This machine is my voice
Please listen
It's so noisy and bright
And I just love being here
This machine will last
For my life
Memories lost in faded films of my life
And a friend that used to be something special to me
Red wine and good times if you don't feel at all
There is no point in going on tonight
Something's in the house something's on the stairs
War's in the air
The queer is out of order and me i'm on the ground
But that's no place to be
Jack Burroughs says ";what you doing";
";Oh me, I'm going home";
";Oh what a shame";
Nothing has changed and nothing is new these days
I've been there and seen it
I've been up and down
And I've been fighting for so long.
I can't stop for all your stories
I can't stop for all you young hearts.
Been up on the power
Been down and ashamed
I'm sure I'm guilty of something now.
I'm back and I'm proven
I'm back and I'm strong
And I've been waiting for so long.
Listen up
This is confession
This machine motion is sure to break my heart
Listen up
This is confession
Recorded music sticks in the throat of God.
I O U, you don't own me
I O U, you don't own me
Party time, one mor night, everybody's affected
Listen up
This is confession
You are a poison that flows into my veins.
Listen up
This is confession
I've never been so scared of letting you down.
You know me, so come closer
You know me, so come closer
Party time, one more town, everybody's affected.
I know you, you don't need me
I know you, you don't need me
Party time, one more girl, everybody's affected
Listen up
This is confession
They tell me heaven just has to be somewhere
Listen up
This is confession
I'd lie to God if I could make him believe.
You owe me, and I need you
You owe me, and I need you
Party time, one more game, everybody's affected
This is my confession
This is my confession
Party time, one more lie, everybody's affected
[Instrumental]
[Instrumental]
[Instrumental]
[Instrumental]
And this is my story.
My face, the picture's changed
Do you remember me
Now I'm fighting to breathe
It's been such a long time
Do you want to come
Do you want to come
Do you want to come with me now
Nothing here for me now
I can't believe the noise
We'll take this place apart
I won't be here for long
I know they'll find me soon
But now the weakness comes
I'll question everything
I'll trade new dreams for old
I've been waiting for you
I've waited far too long.
Now there's a girl outside my door
She's raw pink shame
She makes love as the machines play
Sound effects of mayhem
She disconnects my young heart at times
The cure comes next
Here am I
Sad and lonely
Here am I
Quite by chance I slide
She has the problem of need
Not conversation
She can only whisper such things
Like 'I tear inside'
She's like a gangster in drag I knew
Skin like china
Here am I
Sad and lonely
Here am I
1
My car slides
My last words are
'Help, Mother I'm'
My car slides
I wait for cold
A fear of the dark
My car slides
And I pray to
Things I've not seen
Here am I
Sad and lonely
Here am I
Quite by chance I slide
My car slides
The radio plays
'Heaven...' something
My car slides
This quiet night
Time plays slow tricks
My car slides
My clock runs down
Tick tock tick...
Here am I
Sad and lonely
Here am I
[Instrumental]
[instrumental]
Sometimes I wonder if God laughs at me
I hear His voice
When I sleep
Sometimes I wonder if The Holy Ghost
Is haunting me
In my dreams
Save me
Save me
Sometimes I wonder, does an angel die?
Rest in peace
Here with me?
Sometimes I wonder if a soul can cry?
I feel a pain
Next to mine
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me?
I don't think He died for me
I know that Heaven is a burnt out shell
I know forgiveness is the door to Hell
I know confession is a black empty lie
Look in my eyes
Look in my eyes
Save me
Look at me I'm crying
I wish my tears would show
I'm surrounded by a room
That I've been in for years
How can they do this
How can they do this to me
How can they do this to me again
Have you seen all the pictures
Have you seen things they do
Please help me
Love doesn't live here
Take a good look and cry
I remember
I'm broken
And don't hurt and show
No one can hear
Time runs out
Wont someone come
All that I need is you
Look at me I'm dying
Love is
Unsafe
Unsure
Wrong girl
Wrong time
Wrong move
Love is
Too short
Too sharp
Wrong man
Wrong place
Wrong heart
I don't
Believe in love and
I don't
Believe in you and
I don't
Believe in anything
I don't
Believe in love and
I don't
Believe in you and
I don't
Believe in anything
Love is
Too cold
Too close
Big house
Pictures
TV
Love is
You buy
We sell
You don't
Know me
At all
I don't
Believe in love and
I don't
Believe in you and
I don't
Believe in anything
I don't
Believe in love and
I don't
Believe in you and
I don't
Don't be a dummy!
Move like honey
Don't be a dummy!
Use your money
Stand out proud, no hiding in the crowd
Find the gear that's worth the grind
Find the gear to suit your mind
They'll suit ya!
Lee Cooper!
Lee Cooper!
Here it comes again
That old familiar pain
Here it comes again
Now it has a name
What am I to do?
And where am I to go?
Here it comes again
I am not myself
Do you think of me?
Do you think of me?
Here it comes again
I'm Tortured and deceived
Here it comes again
If only I'd believed
What am I to say?
And where am I to die?
Here it comes again
And I am not myself
Do you think of me?
Do you think of me?
I'll tell you something that you don't know
I'll tell you something that you don't know
Once is always so don't call me
Jo the waiter spilling wine
Over some ex-friends of mine
In zero cafe number 9
What you gonna say this time
Basic J, say, are you new here
New ones walking down the stairs
Pretty young thing but no-one cares
Jo the waiter drops the tray
Do you always know your name
Jo the waiter smiled at me
Jo the waiter's company
I keep him in a book by my fireside
A drama is my perfect bride
INSTRUMENTAL
My confession
I'll steal anything in sight or sound
My confession
This is the sound of fear
And I'll fall down
I don't need it
If you're gonna leave then do it soon
I don't need it
Everything you've ever seen
I've seen before
Leave her to me
Leave her to me
I don't suppose you ever laughed at me
Your fascination leaves me cold
I don't suppose you ever loved at all
I don't need it
I don't need it
If you want it
Every little girl is welcome here
SO I FALL
LIKE THE RAIN
SOMETIMES I ALMOST CRY AGAIN
I'VE SEEN MY PICTURES
PEELING FROM WALLS
IT'S LIKE A WITNESS OF TRUTH
TO THE END OF IT ALL
HERE WE ARE
NO-ONE CAME
I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS FOR YEARS
DO YOU WONDER
HOW I'M FEELING?
DID YOU WHISPER THE TRUTH
LIKE A MEMORY OF PAIN?
NO ANGEL
TO GUIDE ME
NO ANGEL
CAN FIND ME
WALK AWAY
WALK AWAY FROM ME
I WON'T CRY, I WON'T CRY
TAKE MY LIFE
TAKE MY LIFE FROM ME
I WON'T CRY, I WON'T CRY
LIKE A WHISPER OF TRUTH
SAVE ME.
Fade to screens of violence
Like a TV screen but silent
Where the victims are all paid by the hour
Staring at the ceiling
That she gyrates all around me
I am trying to forget she's done this all before
Far too many people
For a quiet night with myself
Oh I could be anyone tonight
Focus on a feeling
I've detected while I'm sleeping
Sing a chorus of ";On Broadway"; and deny it all
You are in my vision
I can't turn my face
You are in my vision
I can't move my eyes
You are in my vision
I can't move at all
You are in my vision
Delicate bodies
That decay beneath their clothing
Play cards in an empty house in Paris
The wreckage of a hero
Lies broken in a corner
And everyone pretends they like to live that way
You are in my vision
I can't turn my face
You are in my vision
I can't move my eyes
You are in my vision
I can't move at all
You are in my vision
[Instrumental]
I wonder if at times
You ever think of me
Or even call my name.
I don't suppose you do.
They talk of rain
They talk of time
They talk of pain
They talk of mine.
They whisper names
They whisper news
They whisper 'shame'
They whisper you.
I tried to look for you.
I tried for years and years.
I wonder if you knew?
I don't suppose you cared.
'I leave old memories
Ghosts in hearts like yours.
I left your words unheard
Like whispers in my heart.'
I think of tears
I think of who?
I think of years
I think of you.
I'm a hero in a book
I'm a picture on your wall
I'm on the TV
I'm arrogant, seen it all
I'm a distraction
Like a hideous new disease
I'm in the papers
But that's not really me
Young heart
Give me something I can do
I'm a decision
I'm a morning filled with shame
I'm a perversion
But I don't know it's name
In a car
On the floor
Up against the wall
With a friend or two
Someone to watch it all
Young heart
Everyone does it here
Young heart
Does your mother know what you've seen?
Young heart
Everyone does it here
Young heart
Does your mother know where you've been?
What are you gonna do?
What are you gonna do now?
I don't believe in it
I don't believe in it
What are you gonna say?
What are you gonna say now?
I don't believe in it
I don't believe in it
What are you gonna feel?
What are you gonna feel now?
I don't believe in it
I don't believe in it
Where are you gonna go?
Where are you gonna go now?
I don't believe in it
I don't believe in it
Young heart, like you
Young heart like you
I'm not the question
I'm not the pain
I'm not surprised
And I'm certainly not ashamed
I want your number
I want your name
I won't remember
Young hearts all the same
And sometimes,
When I'm lonely,
I think of you
And I wonder
And sometimes,
When someone
Calls your name,
I wonder
You changed my life
And you could have changed my world
And I
Miss your voice and
I miss your heartbeat
I miss your face and
I miss you
And sometimes
When I'm sleeping,
I dream of you
And I wonder
And sometimes
When I forget,
I call for you
And I wonder
You said 'goodbye'
Said 'It's over'
You said 'I'm tired
I can't wait
All my life
I won't cry
Anymore'
And sometimes when
I wonder
I cry for you
And I miss you
And sometimes I
Remember
How to feel again
And I miss you
We're in the movies
We're heroes
We sparkle at night
Love among puppets
And one day
I'll pull all the strings
White boys and heroes
White boys and heroes
See boys say I'm mayhem
Was my wife the doctor
The patient
Or something obscene
A history of nothing
Like a see-through song in disguise
Heroes are tough
And have no time
For women and boys
I won't cry
Till this thing is over
And someone agrees
White boys and heroes
White boys and heroes
See boys say I'm mayhem
White boys and heroes
We have no time for celebration
We have no time left at all
White boys and heroes
You are you are
Hopefully mistaken
Like old ties
You'll soon be broken down
Like all the rest who tried
You are you are
Something quite surprising
Story's odd
Concerning love
The scene will change for you, you know
You are you are
Just a good reflection
Nothing more
You'd like to take me for the world
To see you leave
You are you are
A living exhibition
Defying age
Like a seasoned veteran
Of men for cash
I know how to hide and wait for you
I know how to wait I won't forget
Exactly what you are
See her shine like stars
Before they burn
See her shine with stars
Before they fade away
Such a shame
The best of fame
All my life,
they've been here.
Waiting for you.
Patiently.
All they want is your heart and soul.
They want your tears to fall.
All they want is your purest sin.
They want to welcome you in.
They will seem
innocent,
but they will lead you
back to me.
All they need is one tortured soul.
They need walking shadows.
All they need is your last confession.
They need your pain to show me.
I'm waiting for the unforgiven.
Waiting for sleep to come.
I'm waiting for my one obsession.
Waiting for you to come home.
'Innocence is pain in disguise,'
they said.
Now I believe. (x7)
I fall
Down
No control somehow
No help
Now
My favour slides
No one comes
Here
Now I'm feeding strangers
Thin air
Like cold death
Here in my heart
I fell for so long for you all
I fell for so long for you
I fell for so long for you
Come in
I'm the ghost
Of the white faced clown
She's gone
Gone. I won't look back
She's gone
I'm old
So old
This infection of time
My skin
Age
Shows no kindness to me
I fell for so long for you all
I fell for so long for you
I fell for so long for you
Me I've just died
But some machine keeps on humming
I'm just an extra piece of dead meat to keep running
Why won't you let me die in peace?
Why won't you let me die with some kind of honour?
Why won't you let me die at all?
I know
You've got your principles
My body lies immobile
I left it days ago
And me I watch from somewhere as the loved ones come and go
I see them glancing at the switch
I hear them whispering ";maybe it's better that way";
I see the love turn into feelings
I know
Aren't quite the same
I see the men of learning
Pacing to and fro
But how can I expect the sane to ever know?
I'd rather die than have no mind
I know my brain is gone ";damaged beyond repair";
I see an empty shell below me
I know
I've had my time
We are so fragile
Advertising lies that are whiter than yours
We are so fragile
They could give us a war just to keep us amused
We are so fragile
I could stay here inside and say it's all been done
We are so fragile
Just pretend I never tried, I'll leave it up to you
We are still so young
And it must be wrong but I'd do it all the same
We are really so shy
There's nothing I can do except believe in you
We could always go home
But everyone says this is the place to be
We are so unnatural
But you wouldn't understand, you only deal with men
I like new fashion
I like old stories
Like my sister used to tell
This is the voice
This is the picture
I like romantics
But I don't like Steven
Old men love war songs
Love Vera Lynn
Old men love war songs
Now I'm Vera Lynn
I like the welcom
I like my sunbed
But it burns me alove
I like old heroes
I like old filmstars
Dirty pictures........snap snap
I like intrusion
When she's dressed in white
A nervous bride
I don't remember
If she's black or white
This is the heart
Old men love war songs
Love Vera Lynn
Old men love war songs
Now I'm Vera Lynn
This could be it
This could be nothing
Will you remember
When the sparkle dies down
I like Ferraris
I like the fame
Appreciation in the strangest ways
I could believee
In such things for now
Don't like to crash........ climb, climb
I like the dancer
Like you're supposed to
I'll keep my mouth shut
But I don't like this
Old men love war songs
Love Vera Lynn
Old men love war songs
Now I'm Vera Lynn
Stone shapes and me
I'll stay now
Nothing's forever
This time there's no goodbye
A female son
But I won't change again
One of these days
I'll love it all and sleep
You are slow poison young friend
Just give me time to reply
What am I saying
There's nothing left to steal
One of these days
[Instrumental]
We are young we can break
Watch us fall
We can take some train
Down to the sea
We are glass, we are glass
We are real you can touch
Just for now
And then say
'Hey you, which way is down'
We are glass, we are glass
We are strong we run though
We have time
And to you I'm just
One of those boys
We are glass, we are glass
We are cold
We're not supposed to cry
But it's all just a thought
So here am I
We are glass, we are glass
They run fast
Impressions of the floors inviting
Stay with me, stay with me
They run past
With telephones they scream
Well would you turn all this down
Turn all this down
You are replaced you are you
And our dreams are real
And dreams are all we need
We are glass, we are glass
We slip down
And old eyes don't cry for me
Cause I doubt I'm and I doubt you
And never never going to doubt
We are glass, we are glass
They run fast
Impressions of the floors inviting
Stay with me, stay with me
They run past
With telephones they scream
Well would you turn all this down
Turn all this down
I can see in your eyes
(You're) talking good but there's nobody home
And I'm breathing it in
But I'm sure that I've heard it before somewhere
I'm alive with the need
And your welcome to this exhibition 'cos I'm feeding on me
Now there's far to many opinions here
Voices like whispering friends
Voices are calling again
Voices no one can see
Voices are welcome to me
And I've been here once before
I don't know why I'm here
But I'm going to take what I can
I don't know who to fight
I can't run so I'm turning on you again
I think I need a freind
I need someone inside with the news
I think I need to sleep
Now and maybe forever
Got to pull it up
Got to pull it out
Got to survive
Got to stay calm
Got to think fast
Don't want to burn
Searching for a door
Searching for a way
Out of this thing
I don't know what's wrong
Don't know what to do
I'm out of control
Nothing I can do
Nothing seems to work
I'm barely alive
Got to slow it down
Got to do something
Or give in
Watching us fall
Trying everything
Fighting for life
Running out of time
I don't have a choice
I'm riding it in
I'm inside and I'm trying to get out
I'm inside and I'm screaming for some help
And everything's gone wrong
I'm listening to the sound of my own fear
I'm listening to the sound of someone's tears
I'm listening to me
This is the fear
This is nothing like
You could believe
Panic in my heart
Like a cold hand
Pulling at strings
I'll do anything
Even pray to God
Just let me out
Turn off the machine
Turn off all the noise
Turn off the world
I'm inside and I'm trying to get out
I'm inside and I'm screaming for some help
And everything's gone wrong
I'm listening to the sound of my own fear
I'm listening to the sound of someone's tears
I'm listening to me
I'm inside and I'm trying to get out
I'm inside and I'm screaming for some help
And everything's gone wrong
I'm listening to the sound of my own fear
I'm listening to the sound of someone's tears
I'm listening to me
You learn fast when everything breaks down
You learn fast when that's all that you can do
You learn fast or nothing
I'm not so sure
I still want more of this
I might not quite
Be behaving like I'm told I should
This is my life
Welcome to me tonight
I don't feel too
Glad to be here for sure
I'm not feeling any more at all
This is my head
This is my face
It's all my fault
This is my place
[Instrumental]
You walked in
I woke up
I've never seen a pretty girl look so tough baby
You got that look
Color you peach and black
Color me taken aback
Crucial
I think I wantcha
You've got the look
You've got the hook
U sho'nuf do be cookin' in my book
Your face is jammin'
Your body's heck a slammin'
If love is good
Let's get to rammin'
You got the look
You got the look
You got the look
You must a took
A whole hour just to make up your face baby
Closin' time, ugly lights,
Everybody's inspected
But you are a natural beauty unaffected
Did I say an hour?
My face is red
I stand corrected
You walked in
I woke up
I've never seen a pretty girl look so tough baby
You got that look
Yes you do
Color you peach and black
Color me taken aback
Baby
Crucial
I think I wantcha
I read a book
About conversation and you
I listen to
Stories that intrude on my heart again
This is my house
Welcome is here
This is my house
Welcome to me
My picture of your face
Will disappear with time
Patience in eyes
That say occupied
Quite peculiar
This is my house
Welcome is here
This is my house
Welcome to me
[Instrumental]
We are strangers here
I suppose
We are not welcome
Or so I'm told.
We are not old friends
But believe this,
We can be nightmares.
Picture the man when the heartbeat stops
This is new love.
We are the hunters,
So one by one
You know we'll find you.
Picture the man when the heartbeat stops
These boys of passion
Will rule the world
Put their fingers in a dyke
";Well you know it's what she needed";.
These boys of passion
With cruel idiot smiles
Fight for you.
You know, they said so.
Cold fascination
with dead sound.
Oh God let me sleep
Forever.
Picture the man when the heartbeat stops.
Tread careful
Because you're treading on my dreams.
Tread careful
Because I've just one heart
Tread careful
Let me down slowly
Or I'll forget how to dream.
Chorus:
I won't forget anything
(I love you)
I won't forgive anyone
(Do you love me?)
Tread careful
You hear the sound of my breathing
Tread careful
Because I feel this sound
Tread careful
I'm falling in a glasshouse
I'm trying hard to begin
Because I want it to get harder
Tread careful
Before I change my mind
Tread careful
I could surprise you
I know something you want to do.
(repeat chorus)
Tread careful
I'm sure you don't care but
Tread careful
I could change your mind
Tread careful
I've been waiting for you
There is no comfort in here.
(repeat chorus)
Silently I wait alone for you
I've got to put my fear back in its box
Silently I feel you breathe on me
And I hear mercy sigh and leave the room
You could hurt me
Take my breath away.
Would you like that?
You could rip me
Leave me torn and cold.
Would you like that?
One More Sin. Make me unforgiven
Silently, I turn and play begins
I watch you smile
Just like a dead things smiles
Silently I lose and darkness comes
I hear you laugh as God abandons me
You could cut me
Let me die for you.
Would you like that?
All I feel. Makes me unforgiven.
Sometimes I feel
I live like a prisoner
But I don't know
If this really is pressure
Surprise you win
I'm lost as screamers roll in
Sometimes I feel
Like leaving this room I'm in
Faded film people dropping words
About the real things to say
? (Not "Someone pulls me deeper", as in CD booklet)
And tells me who I will be if I stay
A clever machine writes pretty words
For pretty boys
To sing to us all
We're all so grateful
My face you cry
And I show my darker side
The night is yours
And I just switch off and hide
Cafe and sin
The wine's not to my liking
My face you cry
Oh my didn't I say come in?
Frown (?) in my eyes showing nothing
But surprise about you
And what are you thinking
About my life and her drinking to you too
A dying non-human writes unkind words
For unkind friends
And as for the tears, they'll never show
Asylum people calling on my door
From day to day
The image must fall
I've had my time
I'm standing for someone or something
I read it in the papers.
I still remember
I heard it on the radio.
CHORUS:
I'm a slogan, an old story,
A disease, never again.
I don't like this, new anger,
These young boys, just make me laugh.
This picture, I'm so nervous,
The DJ says ";who are you?";
Look at me, I'm shaking,
I don't know if I can move.
Working boys ?????? tonight
I don't want to be a ???? picture
I don't want to be an old man
I don't want to be a good friend
I don't want to be a hero.
(repeat chorus)
And what if God's dead
We must have done something wrong
This dark facade ends
We're independent from someone
This wreckage I call me
Would like to frame your voice
This wreckage I call me
Would like to meet you, meet you
Soon
We write suggestions
Suggesting fading to silence
And that must please you
My mirror's tarnished with 'no-help'
This wreckage I call me
Would like to frame your voice
This wreckage I call me
Would like to meet you, meet you
Soon
(Japanese phrase - means ";Goodbye, forever";)
Turn out these eyes
Wipe off my face
Erase me
Replay 'The end'
It's all just show
Erase you
I need to I need to I need to
This wreckage I call me
Would like to frame your voice
This wreckage I call me
Would like to leave you, leave you
Leave you, leave you soon
(Japanese phrase - means ";Goodbye, forever";)
And I have seen wonders
And I have seen miracles
Oh, I have seen some things
It's all lost to me now
Like tears in the rain
And I have seen sadness
And I have seen time run out
I've even seen men cry
It's all lost to me now
Like tears in the rain
And my memories
I can't give them away
So it's easy
Like a long long sleep
I'm so tired
Now it's my time to die
Welcome home
Welcome home
No exhibition
No screaming war songs
No conversation
No more opinions here
And I have seen new wars
And I have seen things
That you wouldn't believe
And I have seen my days
It's all lost to me now
Like tears in the rain
This is love
This is pain disguised as a dream
Memories
Are guaranteed to break your heart.
Look at me
I woke up and found me alone
I wonder
If you'll ever think of me.
I won't cry
Now you're gone
I won't cry.
I should take
Your picture
From the wall.
This is love
What's it for?
It takes everything.
[Instrumental]
[Instrumental]
Say
And I say 'me'
Boys with their ambition
The sparkle dies down
I could believe in such things
Boys with their ambitions
Sparkle dies down
I could believe in such things
This house is cold
This house is mine
This house is yours
Like friends of mine
Ooh, I could boys like down like some down like boys suppose
Ooh, I could down like boys like could down like you
Ooh, I could down like boys like could boys like could down like cries
Boys cry
Boys scream 'down'
Like boys fell down
I could believe in such rain
Me falling down
Falling boys
Like and I
And I can see such... no
This house is mine
This house is cold
This house is yours
These friends of old
Ooh, like could down like boys on the ground like I suppose
Ooh, I could down like boys underground like you
Ooh, I could down like boys on the boys on the ground like me
Boys like
Crying 'down' like
This disease
I'm out of my class
This disease
I'm needle sick again
This disease
We must expect such things
This disease
She finds me the girls
Tick tock tick
All gone all gone all gone
Tick tock tick
Whispering goodbye
Tick tock tick
Who is talking?
Tick tock tick
I don't have the choice
Look at me
A puppet dancing on strings
Look at me
And this is easy?
Look at me
I got the screams
Look at me
Words failing
This disease
This disease
I saw him turn on
Like a machine in the park
Saying `please come with me'
But you've been there before
I saw him whirr away
Into the night
Like a nightmare on wheels
Saying `never again'
I'd give it all up for you
I'd even be a number just for you
The strangest living boy
You could ever wish to see
`That's me'
Yellowed newspapers
Tell the story of someone
`Do you know this man?'
Tomorrow the cure
Only police ever
See night time for real
Turn on the light
And cry `no more, no more'
I was standing outside your door
Waiting for the grey men to go
When my mind turned on me
With a vengeance I had never known
My own
Everyone heard
The voice on the radio
Saying `why move around
And waste my time'
There are no
Independents anymore
The tape is a circle
But who really cares
I saw you behind the wall
I even heard you laugh at me
You disgust me tonight
With your answer to something new
That's you
This is
This is emotion calling
Inside
You don't know me
One game
A miracle of invention
You lose
These rules are mine
Dirty pictures
You're in the movies
Move in
Move out
I'm in slow motion
One love
One tear
One night
Of fear
One game
You lose
This is
Emotion
Look left
There's nothing over there but vengeance
Look right
There's nothing over there but greed
Look up
There's nothing up there but rumours
Look down
There's nothing down there but me
One love
I don't want to talk about it
One love
One pain
I don't want to talk about it
One pain
One more
Another night to remember
One more
Another name to forget
One more
Another young heart to play with
One more
Another young heart to break
We've got to get out
We must get out of here
We've got to get out
We've got to get away
I'm listening to stories
Of love and affection
That I don't believe
I'm listening to liars
With pretty young faces
And eyes that deceive
You're welcome to fame
You're welcome to try
I've been on TV, sold my face to you
You're welcome to love
You're welcome to me
I burned my dream, sold my heart, nobody knew
Listen children
I've seen my future
Call it the deadline for now
I've heard secrets
I've heard excuses
I've heard a voice in the dark
You're waiting for me
You've made a mistake
I'll give you nothing but lies, or nothing at all
I'm playing a game
I'm playing with you
I call it shameful, 'the skin game,' don't you?
You're playing it cold
(Ripping it up)
You're playing for time
(I don't like pictures)
You're breaking my rules and I won't let you go
I'm looking for you
(Welcome to me)
Somebody screamed
(It's no use talking)
I've connections with God. What do you need?
Lost in junk sick
No sleep no motion
She said 'he's nothing to lose'
Love sick? Skin game
Welcome to romance
She's like the heart of the world
I'm still breathing
Welcome to my house
I'd steal from God, wouldn't you?
One more question
Am I in danger?
Rumours. And I've got the fear
Looking for you
Is it any wonder?
Tearing it up
Living on empty
[Instrumental]
[Instrumental]
This is a story
And this is a song
Every little thing that they
Tell you is wrong
This isn't evil
This is a sound
And this conversation is possibly down.
I know that I'm not all that pretty
I know that I don't sound like I should
I don't even belong to fashion.
This is a secret
And all this is true
Everything I tell you belongs here with you
I'm not a hero
I'm no good
I don't belong here but my heroes should
And I'm moving
And I'm lying down
And I'm losing
And I'm losing.
This is uncertain
This is unsound
Is this a feeling or something I've found?
This is a story
This is a song
Every little thing that I've told you is wrong.
I look up and the camera eye is
Searching my room
The TV screen is calling me
But for what or whom
Please mister do be careful
I'm so fragile
Maybe they'll let me down
To Speedy's place for a while
Oh well that's too bad
Oh well that's too bad
Oh well that's too bad
Oh well that's too bad
I talk a lot, a sign of fear
I thought you should know
I can see pictures of me well
They're so-so
I'll come on to the leader
Like I'm some hero
He'll laugh and raise his dying eyes
And just tell me to go
1920 Flashbacks for an hour or more
Of crazy actors hiding
In the doorways top floor
Machines scream in anger
From a thousand dead ends
I turn my face, I crawl away,
I look for a friend
[Instrumental]
Hello, I'm the aircrash bureau
I bet you're so surprised to see me
I could specialise in rumours
I'll send shivers up your spine
Pilot, back, I need my squadron
I was flying before D-day
Now I'm warning you of falling
I'll tell you when you're going down
Sometimes I get these questions
It reminds me of the skin game
We used to stand around on corners
Saying 'well here we are again'
So now she motions closer
Now that's what I call romance
Someone's calling me but vaguely
You need the feeling not the man
Here in my room
Where the paint dries like your face
I'm still confusing love with need
Tonight at 10
I'll cry for a while
They'll get me for sure
It's just a question of time
We're the crazies
Some things I do
I feel so ashamed
But I have run of points of view
The man is a thinker
Who thought that he died
Just sits in the corner
Looking somewhat surprised
We're the crazies
I only exterminate
In my spare time
I fight the machine for the passers by
I know I'm wrong
But what makes you right
The simple solution is to end it all
We're the crazies
[Instrumental]
I intrude on patience
I intrude on young hearts
I intrude on all such things
That can take you by surprise
Time and time again
So?
I've no welcome for you
I've no welcome for talk
I've no welcome in my house
I've tried too long you know
Time and time again
Oh look there's a man inside
The head's not the museum it's supposed to be
We sleep with machines that breathe
And some even have names the executive dream
We're all so sincere
I'll sing a song from the film that broke your heart
Oh look at the smile that cracks
Tomorrow we'll be civilized
And buy the whole world clothes
We don't believe in you
We're specialized mechanics in repairing the bitch
You bounce around my head
You say it's a little but I'm sure it's OK
Listen good
Don't cry for me
Don't cry anymore
Now just shut your mouth
This point of view
Appeals to me
Listen Babe
Say you've got no-one tonight
Same old smile
That cracked a thousand hearts
But not mine
Same old line
I've read the book
And I know you well
Listen Babe
Say you've got no-one tonight
What's this feeling
That I don't believe
No concern on my face
What's it for
You dream of something
Like I dreamed of you
Listen Babe
Say you've got no-one tonight
I won't pray here
Or bow my head
I won't praise your name
I won't kneel down.
I won't pray to you
On this side of sane (Oh Lord)
I won't pray to you
On this side of Hell (Father)
I won't pray to you
On this side of Heaven again.
I don't need faith
Forgiveness of sin
I don't need saving
I don't need lies.
I don't believe
In the angel wars (Oh Lord)
I don't believe
in the Virgin birth (Father)
I don't believe
in the cross on the hill (Jesus)
I don't believe
In the kindness of God to man.
I'll drive a stake
Through the black of your heart (Oh Lord)
I'll pull down your temples
And burn every word (Father)
I'll kill all the angels
That show me ";the light"; (Jesus)
I'll drift into darkness
And tear out the soul of god
I'm in a big clean room
There's blood on my shirt
I'm in bad shape from the crash
Now I know it's all over
Now I know it's all over you
Something's wrong.
Now I know it's all over
Now I know the hunter's you
Oh you have the face
But I have the pictures
A secondhand love in a dying machine
This game turns me cold
I could show you some things
A child with a ghost in her eyes cries for me
We break out
And we break out hungry
We're looking for the priest
And we're looking for you
I can't believe the noise
There's nothing I can do
We'll never get out of here alive
Something's wrong
I can't believe it.
She's like death on two legs
She is raw pink shame
Please stop the God film
It's all wrong
But I'm not to blame
These boys of image
Carry banners
Believe in slogans
Kill policeman
Say it's 'freedom'
Say it's 'goodness'
Say it's 'peaceful'
I'm lonely
I'm feeling down (everyone I know has been and gone)
It's such a sick picture
She says 'I cure everyone'
I'm alone in a corner
I won't ever forgive
I must be broken
I don't know
Who on earth can I blame?
I've seen them come
I've seen them go
I've seen them all
Call this affection
I've seen them do things
You wouldn't believe
I can't remember your name
I can't remember the time
I can't remember at all
Never again
She wants film
She wants sound
She wants everything
It's not love
In slow motion
It's a strange new game
You've got a picture of me
And I've got a picture of you
But who's got a picture of us?
Never again
Do it once more for the man on the phone
Do it once more for the boys in the band
Do it once more for the girl with no heart
Will you do it once more for me?
She's black
She's white
She could be anything
She looks good
She looks bad
She could tear me apart
Just say goodbye when you leave
And I'll say goodbye when you're gone
We'll say goodbye in the dark
But never again
Do it once more for the man on the phone
Do it once more for the boys in the band
Do it once more for the girl with no heart
Will you do it once more for me?
I've heard your story before
I'll hear your story again
Now I've got a story for you
Never again
Do it once more for the man on the phone
Do it once more for the boys in the band
Do it once more for the girl with no heart
Will you do it once more for me?
Do it once more for the man on the phone
Do it once more for the boys in the band
Do it once more for the girl with no heart
Will you do it once more for me?
Where is my outline I start to fade
No concentration means 'fail' these days
I leave the table saying 'I am real'
I feel the pressure like your eyes on me
Don't mention that name and books on love
I can't be sure, I can't be sure
You end on reel one
You end on reel one
You quote from 'anxious' and things we do
I need protection from the likes of you
Do you begin to see that I don't know
I live on memories that are hard to find
Send me a card and write 'I think of you'
I'll say you lied, I'll say you're lying
You are, you are
Tell me a secret I'm sure to fall
My dog runs A.W.O.L. I blame you all
We're in formation saying 'safe, safe, safe'
Turn up my collar and mix with dark
The speaker turns on me spot her eyes
It's hard to breathe, it's hard to breathe
You end on reel one
You end on reel one
You are, you are
[Instrumental]
I don't know
I don't know
The dream was everything
I don't know
I don't know
If it's all falling down.
I lose connection as they let me down
What you gonna think?
What you gonna do?
What you gonna say?
Are you gonna scream 'Oh no'?
What you gonna think?
What you gonna do?
What you gonna say?
I just don't like this thing, at all.
(Strange charm)
Let the boys out
Let the boys out
And let the fun begin
Let the boys out
Let the boys out
And let the night come in.
We don't like it
We don't like it
We're from the factory and we've come to play.
Let the boys out.
You push too hard
You push too hard
Come closer and talk to me
You push too hard
You push too hard
D'you get the picture now?
You won't like it
You won't like it
We get impatient as the time runs out.
Let the boys out.
Johnny's got a job
Spreading the cure
Self employed
He's a one man crusade
We want to give you your soul protection
Something inside
Big mistake
Spread the word
To the new generation
We want to give you your soul protection
One more night
One more dream
One more time
One more scream
One more heart
One more name
One more chance
For your soul protection.
Johnny's got pride
'I'll pay it all back'
Now he calls it
'The poetry of motion'
We want to give you your soul protection
Listen to this
This is life
Listen to your heart
And you're living under clock law
We want to give you your soul protection
Hide your fear
Hide your shame
Hide your tears
And hide your pain
Hide your face
Hide your name
Hide your need
For your soul protection
Everybody's scared
Big glass house
Don't throw stones
At your soul protection
We want to give you your soul protection
Johnny's got faith
Prays to God
Mention love
And he calls it 'nostalgia'
We want to give you your soul protection.
[Instrumental]
So here am I quite by chance near the phone
I could call and make you crawl into bed
Questions always questions
I'll just speak in slow motion,
About obsessions with boys on the floor.
Take that smile off your face,
Wipe that tear from your eye,
Don't say you're sorry for me.
Now look at me like a stormtrooper in drag
And I'll let you feel exactly like I do,
It's so disgusting I'm so tired of rhythm
And needles in arms,
I don't want your point of view.
Nothing to do,
Nothing to steal,
And there's nothing to say.
Love it love it I need to.
She sits in the corner
Where it's reasonably quiet
Drinking coffee with cream
Thinking stories of young love
She calls to the waiter
'Won't you lend me some time?
You can sit by my side
And I'll let you be friends with mine.'
The cafe is old
But the candlelight's new
She orders Beaujolais wine
And says 'I've thought of you too'
She whispers 'Isn't it odd
You remind me of songs
That I'd rather forget
Like feelings I longed for
You haunt me inside
Sometimes I recall
Question mistakes
Who grew to nothing at all'
I hear voices that cry
And one of them's mine
All the things I could say
Are the reasons I can't
She says 'I've seen you before
In thoughts I call 'son'
Like an old film with sound
When the link comes undone'
The waiter is me
And the woman is you
And we are the story
Just like others I knew
Here in this room
I'm a slave to your voice
I wait in the dark
With a cold metal choice
Here in this room
Where desire will bleed
And no-one can help you
No-one but me
OOh OOh
Here's something to remind you
OOh OOh
Here's something to remind you
Do you remember
The last time you cried?
Need I remind you
How innocence lied?
Here in the dark
You're a secret untold
A helpless obsession
So perfectly cold
OOh OOh
Here's something to remind you
OOh OOh
Here's something to remind you
Cry for someone, something, I'll laugh at you
Beg for someone, something, I'll laugh at you
Scream for someone, something, I'll laugh at you
I know how to read alone
Here in the dark some old stories are told.
The telephone haunts me
Like a picture of things that I'd never
Bring home.
CHORUS:
She cries like I do
Too late for new words.
She cries like I do
???? it's a man.
No-one is allowed in here
I'm the ????? new feelings ???
This edge in my voice lacks? sense
I never touched your heart
I suppose.
(repeat chorus)
She cries like I do
Like we're supposed to
She cries like I do
Here in the dark.
I'm so surprised.
I've done things God should've questioned
But I don't care.
I've seen things that made my flesh crawl
But I was young.
I've said things that you believed in
But I don't mean.
I heard things, one more confession that
Leaves me cold.
My picture ashames you
My picture
My picture ashames me
My picture
This ain't love, this ain't affection
But you don't care.
This ain't need, I'm not the fashion
So leave my heart.
So good God were you mistaken
Now will I burn?
No more lies no more distraction
So pay you back.
Religion ashames you
Religion
Religion ashames me
Religion
I'm lying shame on me
(secrets forever)
This disease shame on me
(secrets forever)
My memories shame on me
(secrets forever)
Abandon,abandon me
(secrets forever)
This fashion ashames you
This fashion
This passion ashames me
This passion
I'll never ashame you
I'll never ashamed me.
A stranger, shame on me
(secrets forever)
Nostalgia, shame on me
(secrets forever)
Religion, shame on me
(secrets forever)
Abandon, abandon me.
I've done things God should've questioned
But I don't care.
I'm not
Crawling around
Looking for a friend.
I'm not
Thinking the big I am.
I'm not
Down on the ground
Looking for a cure.
I'm not
Saying that I'm the man.
And I'm not asking for your opinion.
I'm not asking for a miracle.
And I'm not asking you to remember me,
Not asking for the ghost to call.
I'm
Cold and corrupt
Looking for a heart.
I'm
Trying to hide my scars.
I'm
Talking to you
Like a shadow in the dark.
I'm
Just trying to survive.
(Call my name, hide my shame)
I call this human emotion.
(Save my soul, save my soul)
I call this human corrosion.
And I'm not asking you for emotion,
I'm not asking for the sky to mend.
And I'm not asking you for nostalgia,
I'm not asking for the world to end.
And I'm not asking for your opinion,
I'm not asking for a miracle.
And I'm not asking you to remember me,
Not asking for the ghost to call.
We are
Walking nostalgia
Like old movies for real
Look at me, look at you
Look at them, look at us
I'm young
Sell a slim body to the man next door
Sell a slim body to the man next door
Like my sister Surprise
We'll wait for you
We are
The pleasure creation
Gone wrong. Gone wrong.
We are
Walking ghost stories
No religion
No relief
No old wisdom
No belief
Sometimes I could scream
We'll wait for you
You are distraction
Like pictures on the wall
I don't like eyes
You are attraction
It gets to be routine
You're up I'm down
She's got claws
But the factory knows
We're dreams in cold storage
We could dance the night away
You say you love me
Maybe you do
A patience I can't steal
I don't believe you
You said 'straight'
It's like giving up hope
Here on the ground
On the floor
Screaming nothing at all
Here on the ground
Like some whore
Looking down on you all
Too much advice. I'm not sure.
Laughing hyenas
With pens for charms
You'll just suck in the boys
We have to leave soon
Shut the door
This house is far too cold
She's got claws
But the factory knows
We're dreams in cold storage
We could dance the night away
I would take your place
If your world fell down
I would take your pain
And leave a smile
For you
If you feel a kiss
When you're dreams are dark
And a voice guides you home
When you are lost
That was me
Sometimes love breaks my heart
Sometimes love breaks my heart
I will keep you warm
And I'll wipe your tears away
I'm a shadow
Watching over you
All my life
I would die for you
I would give the world to you
And I'd sell my soul to keep you safe
I love you
Sometimes love breaks my heart
Sometimes love breaks my heart
And when God comes for me
I won't go far
Like a smile in your heart
I won't be far away
If you're afraid and need to find me
I'll be here with you
And when you dream and hear me calling
You'll see me again
Sometimes love breaks my heart
I listen to rumours
Stone cold and bleeding
They burn my heart away
Left me alone and afraid
Words seem to leave me
Just when I needed them
Just like I need you
Like I'm supposed to do
They say:
Love is deceiving
She won't stay forever
Love is deceiving
Is all that she knows
Love is deceiving
She'll leave you forever
Love is deceiving
She comes and she goes
I wonder
I wonder
I listen to rumours
Listen to everyone
Everyone but you
And now it's all too late
The new law is moving in
Now you see them now you don't
Like a Shadow in my diguise
Like a soft machine on ice
Who are you?
'I'm the man
I am the cure and disease'
Who am I?
I'm the need
I am the weakness that feeds
I've got to rip it up
I've got to tear it down
I've got to break the word
I've got to fight for you
Who am I to criticise
I'm unsafe at any speed
'We can change the world' she said
Never changed it never tried
I'm cold and hard
But I don't mind
I've been everything I can be
I've been sick
And I've got he screams
These boys don't know when to push
Did you know that I don't run
Did you know that I don't hide
Did you know that I don't sleep
Did you know that I don't care
I am the soft machine
I am the word and the law
I am the new machine
I am your feelings and more
Come inside and Play with me
I'll show you things to forget
No-one talks
And no-one leaves
No-one remembers the way
I've got to fight the man
I've got to fight the need
I've got to fight the law
I've got to fight the word
I'll get down on my knees.
I'll do anything I can.
I'll even walk upon water.
I'll burn the soul of man.
I'm so sick with need.
I'm so sick with pain.
I'll lay before the cross and pray.
I'll bleed like holy rain.
Hey, I've done nothing to you (x4)
I'll rip the skin from God's face.
I'll say I'm searching for the truth.
I'll steal the light from Heaven's Gate
if it can guide me to you.
I'll give life to obsession,
I'll give life to disease,
I'll give you one last sin or cure,
and then I'll do as I please.
Hey, I've got something for you. (x2)
I've got something for you.
I want to feel you hesitate.
I want to feel you pull away.
I want to feel you realise
That I am not love come to play.
I want to feel your pink clean skin.
I want to feel your purity.
I want to feel you touch my pain.
I want to drown in your misery.
[Chorus]
Hey bitch, this is what you are-
Purified, sanctified, sacrificed.
This is what you are-
Purified, sanctified, sacrificed.
This is what you are...
I want to feel your innocence.
I want to hear you beg for 'Him'.
I want to be your animal.
I want to be your only sin.
[Chorus]
I want to tear your dreams away,
And show you hopes last sanctuary.
I want to dip your wings in blood
And watch an angel bleed for me...
[Chorus]
We are deceived
Valhalla is falling
We are betrayed
We are lost and forsaken
He's sold the world
Sold us all to the hunger
The body of Christ
Is as black as his soul
The word of the Lord
Is the lie of your father
This mortal sin
Is a voice of shame
Look at the storm
Like a dying apostle
Cruel and divine
Like the ghost of man
And now you realise
I am the truth
Worship the dead
The damned and misled
Tortured and bled
Like the voices of reason
Sacred and pure
Sanctified obsession
Holy and cured
Like a doorway to heaven
Sisterhood cried
Innocence lied
Purity died
With the angels of passion
Blessed are they
Who pay homage to rumour
I've seen the light
Shine on the grave of man
And now you realise
I am the truth
And I believed
[Instrumental]
There's nothing here but us
There's nothing here but us
Remember, I was vapour
Remember, I was just like you
Remember, I was liquid
Remember, I was someone too
Remember, I need others
Remember, I need oxygen
Remember, I need lovers
Remember, I need to forget
Chorus
Remember, I am human
Remember, I feel just like you
Remember, I had reasons
Remember, I had friends like you
Remember, I grow tired
Remember, I could end all this
Remember, I have memories
Remember, I need to forget
[Instrumental]
Send in someone else
I'm tired of romance
They call me 'the game'
And anyone can play.
Won't you come in and play with me?
They call this 'the house'
We have need without feeling
Do you want the shame?
I can't escape from the sound
Won't you come in and play with me?
My heart beats slowly
I'll tear your heart to pieces
I'm the face of love
And this love burns cold
Won't you come in and play with me?
Here is my
Small black box
Filled with hurt
Sent by you
Here is my
Small black book
Filled with lies
Told by you
Here is my
small black house
Filled with fear
Thanks to you
Here is my
Small black heart
Filled with shame
Left by you
See I
See I Don't know
And I don't feel the pressure
And I don't feel the pressure
Here is my
Small black doubt
Filled by tears
Cried for you
here is my
Small black wish
Filled by dreams
Lost by you
See I
See I Don't know
And I don't feel the pressure
This is nostalgia
And o.b. the hero
Fights for me
And you dear listener
You leave old memories
And such things disgust me
Storm the door
I must get out
Poetry and power ice and fire
This is poetry and power
You're worse than mirrors
Are you reflecting
I don't know
All this help leaves me cold
This is confusing me again
I must get out
[Instrumental]
Listen to my voice.
We are gathered here today
To speak of things we have to do,
And the friends we have to call,
From the middleground,
From the Darkness.
It's been many years,
Many years,
Since we have faced a danger such as this.
There is nowhere left to hide.
No safety in old glories.
No sanctuary.
I've seen the same nightmare in all our dreams,
But now it's come to Earth in search of us,
And through treachery, we are found.
So we must pray to the maker of all things,
And wait for the storm to come.
Maker
We are disciples to your desire.
Maker
We are the voices that sing your praises.
Maker
We are the rage that feeds your devotion.
Maker
Rise from the ground and be our salvation.
Slowly the thought
";There is no one to replace";
Came into view
And he began to cry
Now only boys
That love only boys
The perfect picture
Of a boy/girl age
I'm praying to the aliens
I'm praying to the aliens
Grey overcoat
And he could be anyone
A random poll check
";Do you ever think of women?";
They broke him down
Into a torn old queen
Living somewhere
Between dead and dying
I'm praying to the aliens
I'm praying to the aliens
There are no more
Do you begin to see?
The corner of my eye
Could give me away
Isn't it strange
How times change?
I can't imagine
Living any other way
I'm praying to the aliens
I'm praying to the aliens
Help me
I'm in disgrace
Witness slow death
All over my face
Help me
Pick up my heart
Tell my friends
Wherever they are
Listen
They stole my dream
New corruption
Know what I mean?
Listen
Do you think I don't know?
I've got a face like metal
And a radio
Listen up
Listen up good
New man's fame
Is new man's poison
Stand up
Stand up and fight
Stand up I won't quit so
Stand up and play
Stand up
Stand up and scream
Stand up I won't run so
Stand up and lose
Listen up
Listen up good
Innocence
Is new corruption
Memories?
I don't need
A dead museum
And a grudge to feed
Memories
Rewrite shame
Rearrange the feelings
To ease your pain
Big lie
So this is the word
A needle in the back
And my voice unheard
Big lie
So this is the news
Radio lost
And I've nothing to lose
Nu voice
Said this is insane
I'm trying to learn the rhythm
Of the rule change game
Nu voice
I'm a clock with no hands
Someone said forgive them
I don't know if I can
Tell me
What did I do?
You'd think I'd sold perversion
To the son of God (Who?)
Tell me
What did I say?
I don't believe that honesty
Pays
Listen up
Listen up good
New man's fame
Is new man's poison
Listen up
Listen up good
Innocence
Is new corruption
We are deceived
Valhalla is falling
We are betrayed
We are lost and forsaken.
He's sold the world
Sold us all to the hunger
The body of Christ
Is as black as his soul.
The word of the Lord
Is the lie of your father
This mortal sin
Is a voice of shame.
Look at the storm
Like a dying apostle
Cruel and divine
Like the ghost of man.
And now you realise
I am the truth.
Worship the dead
The damned and misled
Tortured and bled
Like the voices of reason.
Sacred and pure
Sanctified obsession
Holy and cured
Like a doorway to heaven.
Sisterhood cried
Innocence lied
Purity died
With the angels of passion.
Blessed are they
Who pay homage to rumour
I've seen the light
Shine on the grave of Man.
And now you realise
I am the truth.
And I believed.
Amen.
I don't wanna hear you talk
And I don't wanna go for walks
But I just wanna lay you flat
Well you think you're so good at that
I've got no time for your sad eyes
I don't care if you say good-bye
I don't really think that I want
Anything to do with your
Out of sight
Out of mind
The radio continues 'round me
Blending faces glaring at me
How was I to telephone
Crawl away to end it all
Spiral staircase leads to nowhere
I an take you somewhere (who cares)
Dee-Dee's crazy as a model
I'd break your heart if I'd got time
Out of sight
Out of mind
I hate you all I hate you all
You're breaking down my message wall
Out of sight
Out of mind
(The two last verses are missing in the CD booklet.)
One. One perfect lie.
Was it told too soon?
And one, one perfect life
turned to stone.
Cold mercy.
I kneel down by your grave.
I kneel down torn and guilty.
Did I let you down,
say goodbye too soon?
And did you understand
my mistake?
Forgive me.
I kneel down by your side.
I kneel down scared and helpless.
One perfect lie
wrapped in kindness and tears.
I wish I believed in your Heaven.
One perfect life
led by blind faith and trust.
If God has a heart He will find you.
Torn and guilty. (x3)
I'm torn and guilty. (x6)
Everything
Everything reminds me
Easily
You walking out so easily
No goodbyes
Not even a tear for me
Now you cry
You'd like to have my company
But I'm not gonna call you again
I'm not gonna pick up the phone
No I'm not going through it again
You're not gonna leave me alone
No more lies
I don't need this anymore
I've heard it all
Now I'm gonna close the door
Seems to me
Nothing comes that easily
Time to leave
You'll take it all and run from me
But I'm not gonna call you again
I'm not gonna pick up the phone
No I'm not going through it again
You're not gonna leave me alone
I'm not gonna call you again
I'm not gonna pick up the phone
No I'm not going through it again
You're not gonna leave me alone
But I'm not gonna call you again
I'm not gonna pick up the phone
No I'm not going through it again
You're not gonna leave me alone
I'm not gonna call you again
I'm not gonna pick up the phone
No I'm not going through it again
You're not gonna leave me alone
But I'm not gonna call you again
I'm not gonna pick up the phone
No I'm not going through it again
You're not gonna leave me alone
Looking through windows like a T.V. screen
Nothing is ever black and white
A sex film distraction for an armchair stud
He's in love for the night
Looking through windows of expensive cars
This weeks flavour inside
She's working for the company
She's In love for the night
Nightlife
I've seen it all
Nightlife
Like pictures of war
Nightlife
Strangers in bed
Nightlife
Try to forget
Looking through windows like and old peep show
I'm listening to breathing and lies
Don't tell mother or the man next door
Girls in love for the night
Looking through windows at a friend of mine
She's like a knife in my heart
But you can get used to any thing
I'm in love for the night
Only a downstat
Personality problem
He would say things like 'I love you'
And cry real tears
Met him in some place
Like a home for old mothers
Where the cure is always death
But no-one ever leaves
He wore a number 7
Badge on his collar
He would show it with pride
And say 'it means I can feel'
He'd bribe the warders
To send letters to someone
Who didn't even know his name
But said she'd read them anyway
And in the evening (??)
He writes poetry for people
Who deny he's alive
And say 'I'll mention that name'
A violator of the law of no feelings
They should be put in the chair
Until their eyes come in (??)
If you have reasons
I might sell you my time
I'll leave it under the stairs
In a body of mine
Old memories are slowly fading out of me
We are the unknowns, we are all you need
I've read the papers
Look at this
They say that I'm all over
I don't know
They're not the first ones to try
So try
Again
What's the fashion?
Is it good?
I'll need some convincing
If you've got it
Then I've seen it before
So try
Again
Welcome to new anger
Do you want it?
Do you want it?
I don't need it
I can stop
I can take this or leave it
You can have it
But if you want it from me
Then come
And try
I've been bad
I've been good
I've been one more hero
I've been up
And I've been lower than you
So come
And try
If you want it
Come and get it
[Instrumental]
[Instrumental]
[Instrumental]
Boys watch from windows tonight
I'm not surpriesed to see you waiting here
You keep them in business just supplying you
Get in the car I've something to say
Stay in bed why waste my time
Open your eyes but only if you can
Office in a sidestreet is no place for you
Night talk and romance like beat the clock.
Boys like me aren't supposed to cry
But it's so easy to do
Boys like me aren't supposed to cry
But just look at you
Night talk.
Take things slow you can crack
Like your face I don't understand
How you smile and pretend it's fun
Do you laugh when the rats come round to play?
Boys like me aren't supposed to cry
But it's so easy to do
Boys like me aren't supposed to cry
But just look at you
Night talk.
This is worst day
Say we are new
We are strong we know how you feel
We are good
We have the answers
How does that sound to you
Boysssss
Well we are poison
We are nothing
Were every bad dream you ever had
This is the face
This is the question
If you can play you lose
Something is here something is wrong
I can feel it
Something is here something is wrong
I can feel it
This is the place
This is nothing
Here we have nothing to lose
Were unseeking
Nudge in the nosebleed
All the holes I live in
Love is a sex mail
Love is an old god
Love is a hole in the wall
Hero whispers
Hero fights
Here Love is hard to find
Something is here something is wrong
I can feel it
Something is here something is wrong
I can feel it
Something is here something is wrong
I can feel it
Something is here something is wrong
I can feel it
Picture a man when the heartbeat stops
Picture a man when the heartbeat stops
Picture a man when the heartbeat stops
Picture a man when the heartbeat stops
O no
My friends have
Been demoted to
Stay
Second class
Someone tells me
Reliable
Big brother will
Never last
Seems like I
Outgrew my station
Sweet young boys turning green
This is for your information
Mean Street I'd love to see you cry
Mean Street I'd love to see you die
Mean Street I really don't know why
Mean Street you let me down
Look at him
Taking all our glory
Let's kick him out
'Who will say?'
'Don't look at me'
'He'll find out in a roundabout way'
We don't owe him anything
We don't need him anymore
Drop him cold now spread the lies
No-one even said goodbye
My Jesus is like a voice in the dark.
My Jesus is like a lonely warning.
My Jesus is like a fear that haunts me.
My Jesus is like a tortured memory.
I'm praying for my soul...
I'm praying for my soul...
For my...
My Jesus is a collector of pain.
My Jesus says "Pain will prove you love me".
My Jesus is like a shadow crawling.
My Jesus says "Their screams will guide you to me".
(Feel so warm inside of you)
(Feel so warm...)
(Feel so warm inside of you)
(Feel so warm...)
I'm praying for your soul... (x4)
Soul... (x6)
Somewhere in
Dark corners
I know
Something is wrong.
No fear
No talking
Just this long wait for pain
Scream scream
We're going down
My centurion dies
All I can do now is wait for the noise
I'm so helpless and
I could just cry inside
'No! No!'
Oh God
Look at the speed
We're going in
So this
Is death and
It's so
Calm I'm surprised
All I can do now is wait for noise
This machine
No sign of life
Only the whisper of air
She won't turn
She won't climb
She won't stop
She won't fly
I'm falling
I'm silent
I'm thinking
I'm waiting for this thing to end.
All I can do now is wait for the noise.
Can you see her little eyes?
Can you see her little hands?
Don't you think she looks just like me?
Can you hear her little scream?
Can you hear her little cry?
Don't you think she sounds just like me?
You have friends and we have reasons
I can't meet you face-to-face
There are no corners to hide in my room
No doors, no windows, no fireplace
My love is only for me
My love needs nobody else
Did you know that my love is a liquid?
I could talk to me for years
I can't speak to you at all
Did you know that friends come in boxes?
You have friends and we have reasons
I can't meet you face-to-face
There are no corners to hide in my room
No doors, no windows, no fireplace
Save your money buy a tube
Let your body flow inside
Watch it grow before your eyes
Watch it grow before your eyes
You have friends and we have reasons
I can't meet you face-to-face
There are no corners to hide in my room
No doors, no windows, no fireplace
This is new vengeance.
I like noise
I suck art
I like romance when it's in my car.
This is new vengeance.
I like games
I like you
I like pressure if it hurts them too.
This is new vengeance.
I'll do it, I can do it
I'll take it, if I want it
I'll say it, if I feel it
I'll have it, if I need it
Sold out
No shit
Don't need approval and I don't need this.
This is new vengeance.
I like cars
I like fame
I like people when they call my name.
This is new vengeance.
I'll burn your picture
I'll burn your house down
I'll change your world then
I'll listen to reason.
Stroll to the cafe
My God how time flies
I close up my brain
And another friend dies
I feel like a mirror
Feel like nothing is mine
I could go back to crying
But now dying seems fine
So I hang from the ceiling
Or I sit on the air
Or rot in a corner
Until somebody cares
Faces at random
I quote people I knew
I'd love to be like me
If I could feel like you
Here am I, more roche five than pain
Here am I, just me and my walls to blame
Here am I, I really don't feel quite sane
Here am I, still searching for my shadow in vain
Lock my door I only think in black and white
I'll even try to look ashamed
Moving out of central
Somebody knows me well
Says he'll spill the whole story
He may be lying I can't tell
Meet me inside
I'll keep my head to the floor
And one hand on the handle
Of the mad/sane door
Here am I, more roche five than pain
Here am I, just me and my walls to blame
Here am I, I really don't feel quite sane
Here am I, still searching for my shadow in vain
Lock my door I only think in black and white
I'll even try to look ashamed
My shadow in vain
My shadow in vain
My shadow in vain
My shadow in vain
My shadow in vain...
[Instrumental]
I don't believe in miracles
I don't believe in forgiving
I don't believe in I can go on
I won't remember why
I don't believe in long goodbyes
Never look back for me
It's over
And everything has gone
And everything has gone away
I don't remember the faces
I don't remember the feelings
I don't remember your stories
I won't remember you
I don't remember our secrets
My God just look at me
Nobody knew me so I bought some time.
An hour or two with a friend of mine.
Somebody lied so I burned their soul.
Somebody screamed and the fire burned cold.
I cure things, sweet young things.
I take the pain away.
I cure things, sweet young things.
I soothe the pain away.
I cure things, sweet young things.
I take the pain away.
I cure things, sweet young things.
Like someone walks on their grave.
I booked a small room in a cheap motel.
Somewhere to hide and a cure to sell.
I call it fashion, I'll make them bleed.
No one to love but a ghost to feed.
I was a puppet pulling my own strings.
I can't believe that I did such things.
I was a shadow but god forgives.
Now I'm a priest and Jesus lives.
- adlib -
I cure things, sweet young things.
I take the pain away.
I cure things, sweet young things.
I take the pain away.
I cure things, sweet young things.
I take the pain away.
I cure things, sweet young things.
Like someone walks on their grave.
How can I save you if you don't confess?
Kneel down bitch be truly blessed.
At 4 o'clock we land
And I'll wave my flag for you
Interest in heart
We are not savage
Like children
We're people
";What Difference"; I say
Music for chameleons
Music for chameleons
A dream of Siam
We could leave in the morning
Old friends and shy
We need to win
Like you need to breathe
I've an interest in games
Music for chameleons
Music for chameleons
Gowns for another show
Maybe no-one will come
Here take my arm
I like the pictures
And you like ghost stories
Tomorrow I'll sigh
Music for chameleons
Music for chameleons
[Instrumental]
We're in the building where they make us grow
And I'm frightened by the liquid engineers
Like you
My Mallory heart is sure to fail
I could crawl around the floor just like I'm real
Like you
The sound of metal I want to be you
I could learn to be a man
Like you
Plug me in and turn me on
Oh everything is moving
I need my treatment it's tomorrow they send me
Singing ";I am an American";
Do you?
Picture this if they could make the change
I'd love to pull the wires from the wall
Did you?
And who are you and how can I try?
Here inside I like metal
In you
All I know is no one dies
I'm still confusing love with need
Sometimes they try to forget and sometimes they do
Giving love for the financial gain
She's so good with excuses and incorrect reasons
I'm tired of trying to win and you're tired of me
She knows how to stand in the corner
And whisper the words that you need
She knows how to stand in the corner
And whisper the words with that cynical charm
We could dance
Now it's my brother's time
Here on the floor with these very loose young girls
Like someone in Japan who just lied
If the innocent are saved then what happens to her
What's done is done and everything's different somehow
I keep a book of reflections that sometimes appear in her eyes
I keep a book of reflections
And realise there's nothing much that I can do
We could dance
Now it's my brother's time
These New Romantics are oh so boring
I could swear I've been there once or twice before
I should grow wings and just forget the club
You know the legends never wanted to be me
For too erratic to be O.K. so?
If you're concerned well I don't care
You play games, you play safe
Me I just sighed with relief
Matthew's mother. The change disturbs me
You've everybody's friend. Age, I suppose
Just like religion you're going nowhere
Like your so explicit clothes onto the floor
On those occasions when everything broke down
Including you and me
See the boy, see the girl
The exhibition is now over
She dances
He watches
She sighs
Remember
Love needs no disguise
In motion
That cannot deny
She's saying
Love needs no disguise
And if the park gates are closed
Remember we toured the skys
And if the 'friends' all go home
You know love needs no disguise
He dances
And we realised
Remember
Love needs no disguise
In simple embraces
They lie
In darkness
Love needs no disguise
And we can lock all the doors
Forget the reasons and fame
There's no deceiving inside
You know we'll all be the same
I can't believe
That you've gone and we're alone
I can't believe
That we'll never see your face
I can't believe
That you're at the gates of heaven
I can't believe
That we'll never know you
If only, if only
Miracles happened every day
If only, if only
I could believe in something
Helpless we cried over you
Empty and lost over you
How in the world
Can they say that you're at peace?
How in the world
Can they say that time will heal us?
How in the world
Can we hope to be forgiven?
How in the world
Can we know how we feel?
If only, if only we could all live forever
If only, if only. No memories to remember
Words were not spoken for you
No grave marks our love for you
Broken our hearts call for you
No-one can blame us but you
How in the world can we ever smile again?
And M.E. I eat dust
We're all so run down
I'd call it my death
But I'll only fade away
And I hate to fade alone
Now there's only M.E.
We were so sure
We were so wrong
But there's no one left to see
And there's no one left to die
There's only M.E.
Why shoud I care
Why should I try
Oh no, oh no
I turned off the pain
Like I turned off you all
Now there's only M.E.
So you've gone
Singing some old love song
I've nothing more to lose
I'm surrounded
By old stories
With nowhere to hide
I could tear
All your pictures
I could tear everything
You told me
Time makes it easy but you
Never told me time stands still
I can't believe it
I can't believe how it hurts
I can't believe it
I can't believe how love burns away
I remember
I can't sleep
All your words
Seem to let me down
Where are you
Why don't you call
It's been a long long time
I still remember
I still remember it all
I still remember
I still remember how love burned away
This could be
My last song
Everything must end some day
She likes film
Pictures too
A friend of mine
Something new
She likes girls
Lives my dreams
Eats my face
She says 'Time to make me scream'
No crying
She don't like tears
My one chance
Is corruption
(So get up
So get up and dance)
She likes pain
'E please Bob'
Some heroes
But she don't like God
She likes rock
MTV
Sex machines
She says 'Time to make me bleed'
No romance
No surprise
My one chance
Is perversion
So this is
My secret
So this is
A new way to hide
So this is
My nightmare
And you're my
Solution
No memories
Nostalgia
My one chance
Is slow motion
So this is
The big lie
So this is
My reason to leave
So this is
My future
And you're my
Corruption
She likes speed
Low fast cars
Love and hate
Rock and roll stars
She likes cream
Long goodbyes
Someone to watch
And she says 'Time to make me cry'
I'm nervous
She scares me
My one chance
Is emotion
So this is
Religion
So this is
Something to believe
So this is
God's disease
So this is
A new kind of cure
So this is
A new world
And you're my
Machine and soul
These are words
Just for you
Only words
But it's all I can do
Reasons fade
As reasons can do
All I want
Is to talk with you
You cried with me
Laughed at me
Talked to me
Sheltered me
Fought by me
Lied for me
You lived for me
So call me
And I'll run to you
Ask me
And I'd die for you
You were there
You were always there
Like a friend
Like a lifelong friend
And I love you
I broke your heart
And you stole mine
Memories lie
But they're all I can find
Call my name
Sing my song
Call for me
I've been waiting so long
Just call me
And I'll run to you
Ask me
And I'd die for you
You were there
You were always there
Like a friend
Like a lifelong friend
And I miss you
[Instrumental]
Listen to my voice,
And please try to understand,
The one you call 'Messiah' is a lie.
You are not the plan
And your beginning to annoy.
You are just a game and It has won.
You will never see
The places promised by your faith.
You will never know eternal peace.
The God you love is gone,
He lies broken by your shame.
The thing that took His place already died.
It will send angels,
Send black angels for you.
I am just a voice
That no one else will hear.
Only you are pure enough for truth.
You must write 'The Book'
And then tear away belief.
Only you can save the light of man.
It will send angels,
Send black angels for you.
What's it like to be face to face with me?
Playing tricks with hearts quite as young as yours
Do you know what the reunion pays for you?
Do you feel like I'm supposed to do?
I could be love
I could be your assassin. I don't know
Pictures of my face disappear with time
They gave boys to quite tasteless friends of mine
Re-arrange thoughts to 'what will be will be'
They say I'm unforgiven and I have to pay
Like I'm the demon resurrection
They say that I turn innocence to panic
But I don't care
They say that my obsession is unholy
That I deviate from reason
They say I make you suffer for my sins
I hope you forgive me
Do you want it?
Do you want it?
My desire
I sink to my knees
Head in my hands
So now I'm just a shadow on their bleeding hearts
This is why the righteous never learn
I'm like a dead man hiding in the dark
What do you need?
What do you need?
What have we become?
All that we could be?
Think of this as mercy, a small gift from me
What does a confession ever do
But take my guilt away
Do you want it?
Do you want it?
My desire
I Feel It Fall
I Feel It Fall From Me
I Feel It Fall Down
I Feel It Fall For You
What do you need?
Jo the waiter worked for me
Serving wine in basement bars
Only madmen ever stay, ";got no time";
If you're mindless please take mine
Jo the waiter held me close
Behind the door marked `gentlemen'
Just for now that's all I need
Won't someone call me `friend'?
Long gone, I recall good times
I must confess, I cried
We burned out and the line went dead
At six o'clock I felt so alone
I crawled inside, where else to go?
I could be dead for all you know
Everyday I died for you
Valium boys with painted eyes
Young men need love special
I don't think I want it at all
Long gone, I recall good times
I must confess, I cried
Me, I've retired to a back street flat
Picture `eyes in a cold steel frame'
The freaks arrive, broken needles and blood
";What you on, man, to get those eyes?";
It's very touching, I'm so close to me
False smiles I've rehearsed for days
Come inside, you won't know I'm wrong
Give me your heart, I'm so quickly gone
[Instrumental]
A radio plays `White Christmas'
It's been doing that for years
If someone leaves the station
Oh please don't talk to strangers
Can't you see they're not like us
The vacant flesh of U.D.'s
Stand leaning by the walls
You can feel them thinking over
Ways of merging with the thoughts
You never dare to dream
It must have been years
It must have been years
They want to relive all my memories
Give me `the service' daily
Maybe it was mother
I can't seem to remember
Much at all these days
Picture open doorways
No pick-ups by the taxi boys
Just a bed near the window
And an old lamp by my pillow
And the things I have to do
It must have been years
It must have been years
The driver wants to touch me
He mentions all the old cop bullshit
I try to back away
But he's so strong I just can't move
Maybe I don't want to anyway
The time to leave is always `soon'
I wonder if I'm lying
A vague feeling of panic
As a man leaves saying ";thank you";
I blame it all on you
It must have been years
It must have been years
[Instrumental]

Do you believe in Heaven?
That man's soul is eternal?
Our prayers are always answered?
And miracles can happen?
Save me.
But don't you wonder?
The Holy Ghost and Jesus?
In paradise and angels?
That God is all forgiving?
Save me.
Reward the faithful?
He lies to you and deceives.
A dark salvation comes.
Innocence bleeding.
Too dark to see the pictures of Heaven
Too dark to find the Garden of Eden.
Blinded by faith and stories of wonder,
Devine mercy? Mercy lies bleeding.
Save me.
Something calls me
From a dark place
And so I pray every night
Something knows me
It whispers my name
And I'm losing my faith
I can feel it breathing
But it feels like something dead and cold
I can feel it waiting
But it waits for something in my soul
Sometimes I call out for you, and sometimes I'm afraid
So I beg God
For salvation, for an angel
Every night
And I ask God
Can He forgive me?
And I want to believe
I think I hear it laughing
But it sounds like my voice lost and old
I think it showed me Heaven
And now I know why I'm scared to die
Am I a fool in the dark, I don't know
Am I the ghost in my dreams, I don't know
Am I a shadow of life, I don't know
Am I afraid of the truth, I don't know
Sometimes I call out for you, and sometimes I'm afraid
So I ask for
One small mercy?
But it whispers 'Who are you?'
So I ask God
If He can save me?
This is icehouse
I've seen them, I've seen the danger
I've seen some things
I'll remember if I live forever.
CHORUS:
I need dream killers
I need your pictures
I don't need heroes
I need opinions
I need religion
I don't need heroes
I'll use the trick
It hurts but I'm thinking clearly.
You bite with sound
Recorded speech is in the throat of your God
(repeat chorus)
Don't break my heart
(repeat chorus)
Wrong place, wrong time.
The American dream's sure to save me.
One more mistake,
So this is the art of survival.
(repeat chorus)
I'm playing at ice
But I'm finding it hard
She didn't break the wall
She just caught me off guard
Can you see ice in my eyes
Can you see ice in my eyes
I'm just a little bit sorry
But I haven't decided why
Could it be my memory
Or did I ever really cry
Can you see ice in my eyes
Can you see ice in my eyes
Fill my head with your false feelings
I can't trust anything you say
Today I missed a special friend
That never really cared anyway
Can you see ice in my eyes
Can you see ice in my eyes
Can you see ice in my eyes
Can you see ice in my eyes
This is metal rhythm
A new song on the Radio
Some new face
A picture on your wall
Talk to me
You say it's nothing personal
But somethings wrong
It's eating me alive
I can't fine the reason
So I can't find the cure
They say nothings's wrong forever
But that somethings wrong with me
Oh I've been down so far
I've never hurt like this
I'm On Automatic
I've heard it all before
Some new flavour
With nothing in the hear
This isn't music
This is survival
But I'm still here
Now isn't that strange
I can't find the reason
So I can't find the cure
They say nothing's wrong forever
But that somethings wrong with me
Oh I've been down so far
I've never hurt like this
They say nothing's wrong forever
But that somethings wrong with me
Oh I've been down so far
Nothing's ever hurt like this
And sometimes,
When I'm lonely,
I think of you
And I wonder
And sometimes,
When someone
Calls your name,
I wonder
You changed my life
And you could have changed my world
And I
Miss your voice and
I miss your heartbeat
I miss your face and
I miss you
And sometimes
When I'm sleeping,
I dream of you
And I wonder
And sometimes
When I forget,
I call for you
And I wonder
You said 'goodbye'
Said 'It's over'
You said 'I'm tired
I can't wait
All my life
I won't cry
Anymore'
And sometimes when
I wonder
I cry for you
And I miss you
And sometimes I
Remember
How to feel again
And I miss you
We are assassins
We are not evil
We act with reason and heart
Your heart
We are not vicious
Is that surprising?
We're so much larger than life
I, Assassin, I am
I, Assassin, I am
";I just arrived
Something to fix
This new depression";
We are not hunters
We are just patient
We'll wait a lifetime for you
Just you
I've never felt good
I've never felt bad
I've never felt much at all
I, Assassin, I am
I, Assassin, I am
";There's nothing personal
Just read the papers
That's real";
I'm scared to sleep, I'm scared to dream.
I'm scared to wake up in case I scream.
I'm scared to whisper one word.
That's all it needs.
I hear it breathe, I hear it sigh.
I hear it laughing when something dies.
I hear it calling,
But I'm too scared to move.
I'm so scared
I can't breathe.
I'm so scared
I can't breathe.
I'm so scared
I just can't breathe.
I'm scared to look, I'm scared to see.
I'm scared of mirrors in case it's me.
I'm scared of memories,
But now that's all I have.
So I can't leave and nothing comes.
So no one noticed that I've come undone.
I'd hide in shadows,
But the shadows talk to me.
I'm so scared
I can't breathe.
I'm so scared
I can't breathe.
I'm so scared
I just can't breathe.
I'm so scared
I can't breathe.
I'm so scared
I can't breathe.
I'm so scared
I just can't breathe.
And I can not be saved
Not by you
Not by God
I want to bleed
And I can hardly breath
Look at me
Falling down
Before your eyes
All I've needed
Takes me away from you
All I've wanted
Takes me away from you
All I live for
Takes me away from you
All I'd die for
Takes me away from you
And this is not my voice
Not my face
Not my life
It belongs to you
And you will not believe
The things i've seen
The things i've done
All in your name
All I've needed
Takes me away from you
All I've wanted
Takes me away from you
All I live for
Takes me away from you
All I'd die for
Who hasn't made
A big mistake
Betrayed a love
Or turned to hate?
You think it's you
Who hasn't told
A small white lie
Or felt revenge
Was justified?
You think it's you
Who hasn't had
A secret need
A truth to hide
desires to feed?
You think it's you
Who has the strength
To save us all
To make us clean
And break our fall?
You think It's You
Does God bleed on the word?
Does God bleed on your white halo?
I looked inside
A big mistake
I'd make it stop
But it's too late.
I Think It's You
I've never been
Afraid to face
A fear but there's
No darker place
I Think than You.
Something crawls
And something lies
Something breathes
And something dies.
I think it's you
Does God bleed on the word?
Does she make you laugh?
Does she make you cry?
Does she call your name?
Let me tell you why.
Have you ever tried to look into her eyes?
Have you ever tried to look into her heart?
There is no-one home.
Time will heal you
Time heals everything
Just an empty room.
Time will help you
Time helps you forget
There's no tears for you.
Time will heal you
Time heals everyone
There's no heart at all.
Time will help you
Time helps you forget me.
She will change your world.
She will change your mind.
She will change your rules.
She will make you blind.
You will never try to look into her eyes.
You will never try to look into her heart.
See there's no-one home.
Time will heal you
Time heals everything
See an empty room.
Time will help you
Time helps you forget
See no tears for you.
Time will heal you
Time heals everyone
See no heart at all.
Time will help you
Time helps you forget me.
I'll leave you
You'll try to forget.
I'll haunt you.
Like someone haunts me.
I'll leave you.
You'll try to forgive.
I'll haunt you.
Like someone haunts me.
Does she laugh at you
Like she laughed at me?
Does she break your heart
Like she broke mine?
[Instrumental]
[Instrumental]
[Instrumental]
I'll say good-bye for now
All this love burns away
Did you love for long?
I'll let the boys come in
They'll crawl for you
Here am I
Not talking
Here am I
Not sleeping
Here am I
There's no more I can do
Here am I
There's no more I can say
Here am I
Not talking
Here am I
Not sleeping
Here am i
There's no more I can do
Here am I
There's no more I can say to you
I'm so tired of this
Please send in someone else
You play games with me
But did you win?
I fold your letter
All lies, all cold
I fold my memories
My life, my soul
I fold compassion
And vengeance bleeds through
I fold forgiveness
And wait for you
Do you hear me?
Can you hear me fall?
Do you feel me?
Can you feel at all?
I hear you calling
I hear you calling
I fold all reason
Screaming your name
I fold Your heart and
Feed on your pain
I hear you calling
I hear you calling
Can you feel?
No Lyrics.
"Instrumental".
Fadeout 1930 era
I never really tried you out
But all my friends who used to be
Just never had the time for me
You can change your colours
I'll just change my point of view
I'll live a lie to prove my point
Or I'll turn all my thought to you
Fadeout 1930
Keep a low profile
Strange how it gets around
Out of sight, Out of mind
I look through me, I'm out of mine
Everything I say, I've heard
And nothings mine except my wall
Do you being (begin?) to see (Do You Begin To See)
There really is no me at all
Fadeout 1930
Please don't feel scared
Nothing's ever quite what it seems
I hope the sadness doesn't show
For I still cling to some old dreams
Private thoughts just to you
My head liked private ways
I've never tried so hard before
I've really nothing left to say (I've really nothing ELSE to say)
Something isn't right
I get the feeling I'm not driving
Something hasn't quite
Taken over but it's trying
Check it, check it
The question now is time
The hours pass so slowly
I know we're moving out of line
But that's the risk you're taking with me
I flicker like an old film - Black white
I'm losing track of what's real - I know
My sense of timing's not quite - OK
Maybe I'll stay tonight - So so
Fadeout, as in lose
My character is shrapnel
Broken by the views
Of men who claim to know all
(There is to know)
Something isn't right
I get the feeling I am no-one
Something hasn't quite
Stopped me from being someone
Nothing in the mirror - Check it
No photo by my bedside - Check it
My self control is missing - Check it
I'll leave with your permission - Check it
I don't like the film
I don't like the film
Play it all back
Play it all back
And I don't like the scenery
And I don't like the set so
Pull it all down
Pull it all down
But I like the actors
And I like the show
We're so exposed
We're so exposed
Anything can happen
Anything can happen
Don't let them see
Don't let them know
And you wonder why
And you wonder why
Turn off the lights
And turn off the sound
[Instrumental]
Seen the man?
New disease
Everybody's infected.
Seen the man?
He'll storm your heart
Everybody believes.
Seen the man?
Sly new game
Kiss another cute baby.
Seen the man?
No war machine
So everybody wants peace?
Everybody's infected
Everybody believes.
I've been looking for something
But it just gets harder
I could look for ever
What am I going to do.
Storm the heart
Boy threw up
Everybody's disgusted.
Storm the heart
Girl went down
Everybody looked shocked.
Storm the heart
New young thing
Everybody's obsession.
Storm the heart
'Levi' jeans
Think it's cool to kill.
Everybody's infected
Everybody believes.
One more reason
One more lie.
Dreams are cruel
This is life
It replaced religion.
Change your mind
Make it mine
Everybody looks sad.
Dirty film
Ten years old
This is Russia infected.
Party time
Time runs out
Everybody go home.
Everybody's infected
Everybody believes.
We generate heat
We generate emotion
We generate a feeling
That is better left here
Than a memory on a wall
I'd rather cry than forget you
We generate pain
We generate suspicion
We generate a rumour that's sick
But a rumour that is probably true
I'd rather die than forget you
(I won't let my dreams slip away from me)
I'm talking sex motion
I'm talking 'bout fashion
I'm talking 'bout skin games
I'm talking 'bout secrets
(And I won't let my heart run away with me)
I'm talking temptation
I'm talking 'bout memories
I'm talking 'bout feelings
I'm talking 'bout emotion
We generate lies
We generate pictures
We generate a video film
That I couldn't let my best friend see
I'd rather lose than forgive you
We generate shame
We generate secrets
We generate a reason for living
And we generate a reason for not
I'd rather hurt than forget you
I can't believe that I'm here
I can't believe what I've seen
I can't believe what I'm doing to you
[Instrumental]
[Instrumental]
All that we are
Is all that we need to be
All that we know
Is you and machinery
We're engineers
We are your heartbeat
We are your night life
We are your `low-line'
We keep you alive for now
We're engineers
We are your voice
We are your blood flow
We are your eyes
We're all you need to know
We're engineers
All that we are
Is all that you'd love to be
All that we know
Is hate and machinery
We're engineers
Don't look for me
Don't call my name
Don't wait for time
Don't wait for love
Time now to leave
Time now to cry
Don't wait for love
No long goodbyes
Look up
Look down
I've seen it all before
I need emotion
Look left
Look right
I've tried it all before
I need emotion
Say nothing
It's over
I sold my soul
Forever
She's tempting
Sex tension
It could be the wrong move
One question
One answer
I don't need
Exposure
I don't know
The slogan
New fashion kills me
Fashion
Tear it up
It don't mean a thing so
Fashion
Tear it up good
Touch me
Picture this
It don't mean a thing so
Touch me
Life is cruel
How did this ever get serious?
One night
One touch
I've used them all before
I need emotion
One lie
Too much
I've heard it all before
I need emotion
I'll show you
Religion
Some people
Disgust me
Listen to
Opinion
I'm in a glass house
'I've been sick'
She whispers
Abandon
Nostalgia
Remember
My picture
I only work here
I need emotion
[Instrumental]
[Instrumental]
[Instrumental]
I heard it in my sleep
A voice more dead than old
I thought I'd known the fear
But then it touched my soul and said:
";You will pray for me
Bow your head to me.";
It came for me at night
And took me dream by dream
To where everything is dark
And no-one hears you scream
Took everything I loved
And turned love into pain
It said ";I'm the prophecy
And I'll make you believe in me.";
";Sacrifice for me
Be humility.";
It said:
";I'll make everyone pay
I'll make everyone pay
Some things you can't forget
I'll make everyone pay
Some things you can't forgive
I'll make everyone pay.";
";And so it comes to this
Death or eternity?
Or would you like to pay
For all humanity?
Do you believe in faith?
Than choose. Heaven or Hell or me?
A shadow on the sane
The final treachery of God.";
";You will kneel for me
Lose your eyes for me.";
";Betray the world for me
Burn your soul for me.";
It said:
";I'll make everyone pay
I'll make everyone pay
Some things you can't forget
I'll make everyone pay
Some things you can't forgive
I'll make everyone pay.";
Down in the park
Where the Machmen meet
The machines are playing `kill-by-numbers'
Down in the park with a friend called `Five'
I was in a car crash
Or was it the war?
Well, I've never been quite the same
Little white lies like ";I was there";
Come to ";Zom-Zom's";, a place to eat
Like it was built in one day
You can watch the humans
Try to run
Oh, look, there's a rape machine
I'd go outside if it looks the other way
You wouldn't believe
The things they do
Down in the park
Where the chant is ";Death, death, death";
Until the sun cries morning
Down in the park with friends of mine
";We are not lovers
We are not romantics
We are here to serve you";
A different face but the words never change
Applicant, I am
Clean young flesh
Cubicles, we merge
And me so decent
Lock up my vehicle
Crack my walls
I'm stealing new words
And me so honest
Someone took pictures
Just look at her go
Her presence exhausted me
Like spectators we are
I have no address
'Who are you?'
Kiss my arse goodbye
The show goes rusty.
Simulate phone call
Face to face
Newspaper loose talk
You wreck my dreams
Exhibit 'A' dog
So few of them left
Exhibit 'B' god
The problem of death
Old sex, unclean
Do you still need the moon?
Recall no names
Don't ask me 'how are you?'
Where's my attendant
And where is my wife
Wait in the doorway
While I say goodnight
He looks like me
(***?) me down
How cold love can be
I've nothing more to loose
I'm trapped inside and dying
I don't sleep without you
Empty bed-empty heart
And I'll wait for you
Years and years and years
How strange love can be
It bends and tears and screams
I'm lonely here inside my (head?)
I don't live without you
There's nothing I can do
I'm waiting always waiting
I'm waiting always and old
I'll leave you now
Alone forever
You're now gone
You're now gone forever
Someone is talking
But it's not conversation,
Sounds more like a voice in my head.
It says
'I live in nightmares
I'm the new god of panic
And I'm waiting for you to come home to me.
'So boy, welcome to sleep
I'm gonna make you, make you, make you bleed.'
I could be dreaming
But then maybe that's fatal.
There's nowhere to hide in your dreams.
I'm so uneasy
I'm shaking and nervous.
I'm alone in my room and I'm scared of it.
So, don't let me sleep
It's gonna make me, make me, make me bleed.
My mother told me
'Don't believe in ghost stories.
There's nothing to hurt you in here.'
But she was wrong
And now it's come back to haunt me.
It says it won't leave me alive for long.
I don't want to sleep.
It's gonna make me, make me, make me bleed.
Do you need the service?
Do you need to call me daily?
Do you have reasons for calling at all?
Is something on your mind?
Is something wrong? I get the feeling
That you're laughing at my quiet surprise
My silhouette is changing
As i'm aging by your window
And I focus on a light by your face
Call me `the operator'
Making comments ";he's so technical";
Or ";I've absolutely nothing to do";
Recycle all my photographs
I'll leave a picture of the queen
And no one has to know I was there
Me, I'm so ashamed
You're all connected to my number
And the conversation's only polite
I'll wear my old grey raincoat
Just in case you're `confidential'
Make up stories like ";the screen fades away";
Today it's in a taxi
By the station, and it's raining
And I wonder how they all made it before
Charm up, strange down
Old face, new sound.
Same kick, same pain
Same reason, same game so.
Dance, let's move.
I can't dance, I can't sing
I'm too old, I'm too thin so?
Motion, I'm in love
One night's enough so.
Dance, let's move.
You can play
You can lose
You can't win
('I'm still looking for rhythm')
You can choose
Move up, I don't like this motion
Move out, I don't like this feeling
Move up, I don't need devotion
Move out, I don't need a reason.
'And I'm still looking for the rhythm.'
I remember one girl
Saw her again in a magazine
Front cover, big star
Showing things that I'd never seen
Well maybe
Can you feel it? Can you?
I remember one girl
Who'd believe she'd be so devious
Bad decision, bad move
She told the papers everything
Well maybe
Do you need it, do you?
Do you want it, do you?
Come and get it
I remember one girl
She'd only make friends in expensive cars
Television, good wine
Leather seats and a friend of mine
Well maybe
Something's coming
Oh no
I don't cry
Or forget
I'll cut my picture on your heart
No names
You've got one more game to lose
I was young
I was clean
But now my soul eats me alive
I was kind
Now I'm your first big mistake
Don't leave
What'ya gonna do?
Are you gonna break down and cry?
She sold pain
She sold mine
She sold my secret to the man
She sold lies
And so now I break the word
Don't leave
What'ya gonna do?
Are you gonna break down and cry?
Tear up my picture
Tear up my face
You'll tear up your feelings but the memory's quite safe
Look back in anger
Look back and cry
Look up my number if you want to know why
Don't leave
What'ya gonna do?
Are you gonna break down and cry?
Same need
Same cure
I'll whisper words to ease your shame
Play time
I've got one more trick for you
I don't pray
Wrong man
I don't look for love that I don't need
Wrong place
You've got one more chance to leave
[Instrumental]

In my darkness
I hear Jesus crying.
In my darkness
I see children savage and blind.
In my darkness
I see dead men kneel before the cross.
In my darkness
I hear the voice of evil.
";Disciples, dark angels,
This is Dominion Day";
";My demons, come to me
This is Dominion Day";
In his darkness
I can feel the storm come.
In his darkness
Holy water burns my soul.
In his darkness
A grave waits for you at heaven's gate.
In his darkness
I hear screams that hide the voice of God.
";Come children of Eden
Pray to me on Dominion Day";.
";Pray for your salvation,
Sanctuary on Dominion Day";
My soul, save me.
In his mercy,
He will bring the disease.
In his mercy
He will burn the oceans.
In his mercy
He will tear the sky down.
In his mercy
He will make pain eternal.
";Your nightmare is breathing
This is Dominion Day.";
";Welcome to your saviour
This is Dominion Day.";
";This is my new kingdom.
This is Dominion Day.";
";Creation bleeds for me.
This is Dominion Day.";
No more than chance,
I'm told it's quite surprising
I could walk out and just impress myself
I need to hurt,
I need to crash for my sake
You are something
that I could do without
And I could always
take the pills and leave
But you have to stay awake
to stay away
And I would die for you
And I would cry too
And I would sing like rain
And I would find you
I dream of rumours
like a favourite pastime
With conversation like
"I need to breathe"
This celebration makes me
crawl away and hide
And you must know that
I would die for you
And I could always
take the pills and leave
But you have to stay awake
to stay away
And I will die for you
I don't cry
Or forget
I'll cut my picture on your heart
No names
You've got one more game to lose
I was young
I was clean
But now my soul eats me alive
I was kind
Now I'm your first big mistake
Don't leave
What you gonna do?
Are you gonna break down and cry?
She sold pain
She sold mine
She sold my secrets to the man
She sold lies
And so now I'll break 'The Word'
Don't leave
What you gonna do?
Are you gonna break down and cry?
Tear up my picture
Tear up my face
You'll tear up your feelings but the memory's quite safe
Look back in anger
Look back and cry
Look up my number if you want to know why, but
Don't leave
What you gonna do?
Are you gonna break down and cry?
Same need
Same cure
I'll whisper words to ease your shame
Play time
I've got one more trick for you
I don't pray
Wrong man
I don't look for love that I don't need
Wrong place

I've been waiting here
Waiting for faith
And the word to fall.
Now the darkness comes
And I'll pray for
The end of us all.
Don't let the dark into me
We killed the angels that warned us of you
Don't let the dark into me
We raised the tower of Babel for you
Don't let the dark into me
We let the children build temples for you
Don't let the dark into me
Don't let the vengeance of Heaven be you
So pray to me, I'm the Lord's new disease,
Look down into the face of God.
Bow down and cry, I'm the black Messiah,
The one true divinity.
Kneel before my altar and drink the wine of slaughter,
Who said I'd save anyone?
So bleed for me, I need hostility
To lead the faithful and the blind.
Don't let the light shine on me
I am the poison that feeds life to you
Don't let the light shine on me
I am the demon that waits inside you
Don't let the light shine on me
I am the ghost that reminds death of you
Don't let the light shine on me
I am the darkness that crawls into you
Why cry now
It's over
Feelings change
How are you
Now am I
Cry, the clock said
I know little of romance
And these little tract houses
I know seven less of you
And if you should ever think of me
Maybe as a game you lost
Well someone I know lost the whole damn world
No more this talk of they're out to get me
Just slide out of Sydney and I can never go back
How could I be surprised
How could I even believe
Cry, the clock said
I'll forget who you are
I'll forget one of these days
Cry, the clock said
You could say I'm pretentious
You could say I'm the nazz
You could hail me as the new king of it all
You could say I'm nothing new
You could speak well of me
You could say it's already been done before
What will you make of my lines
What will you think I've said
What hidden secrets will you say are in my head
I feel you waiting for me
Waiting to dig my grave
I'm growing scared of everything you could say
Look in my eyes
There's no surprise at all
Critical mind
What will you find to say
Old faces in my wardrobe
So many I've not seen
Memories to look back on people I've been
Dead love on faded carpets
Nostalgia grows with time
I see your face in mirrors shadowing mine
I see your dirty finger
Marks are still on my wall
I can recall the time we tried it that way
In dingy hotel backrooms
Where paint cracks like your face
I must admit I have acquired the taste (?)
Stab my arm
With your synthetic feelings
You amaze me
I crave for you
You could say I'm pretentious
You could say I'm the nazz
You could hail me as the new king of it all
Streetcar is rusting
The tracks are all gone
You're far too trusting
But I won't take long
Old friends of someone
Lie dead in the street
The back scene director
Knows just who I'll meet
No visions of my life
Will flash past my eyes
I've waited thousands of years
For this prize
Someone is calling
But who's left alive
Just me and you dear
Please show some surprise
I've always been this way
Please believe me
Yellowed newspapers
Drift past empty cabs
Dead hotel bellboys
Dream of old men they've had
Ex-junkies in my house
Are all blue and green
Please don't cry. I love you
I'm not what I seem
Isn't it lovely
It's just you and me
I've never felt
So happy to be here
Look through my window
At the hole in my wall
Straight into my head
There's nobody at all
Do you think you can love me
I am no-one
If you were the only girl in the world
And I was the only boy
[Instrumental]
[Instrumental]
Oh it's so easy
When parts take over
My conversation
Is nothing more than lies
You're just the viewer
So cold and distant
I've no intentions
Of saying ";I love you";
My conversation
We are not gods
We are not men
We are not making claims
We are only boys
You are not strong
You are not force
You are not regular
You are just wrong
There are no faces
This is my complex
You are my picture
I call you `mirrors'
These are not my tears
Not my reflection
Am I a photo?
I can't remember
My conversation
They won't come back
You know it's always the same
And they're sure to forget
Saying ";everyone lies";
So I'm down to this
I'm down to walking on air
And you're here by my side
With all your waving and smiles
Please keep them away
Don't let them touch me
Please don't let them lie
Don't let them see me
This isn't music
This is survival
Used up and burnt out
Like an old Ford car
No more opinions
I'm back in harness
Cold metal rhythm
Takes me back to God
Metal rhythm
Cold and sane
Know my reason
Know my name
Radio station
Thank you for nothing
I like this anger
And I won't forget
This isn't love
It's more like a need
I'm a cold metal junkie
And I need the cure
[Instrumental]
[Instrumental]
I need it
The sex skin habit
You could just crawl out
And forget I'm here
I need it
Love and something
I'd just as soon forget
So keep it out the papers
I need it
'The sex musicians'
I'll show you 'something'
While the boys beat time
I need it
And she's still waiting
We like to wake up
In a strange bed romance
One more time for me
You are the young things fed on garbage and lies
Please one more time for me
You are the young things fed on garbage and lies
I'm talking far too much about my shame
I need it
Creatures calling
I'll tear my heart out
But I need some more
I need it
I'm under pressure
I don't remember
If her story's true
Don't things change
Don't we all
What's it like to
Crash? The driver
Nothing more to prove
So please just send in the machines
We know little of celebrations
And how things are with you
You're hung up on time
You're hung up on age
Now there's me
Now there's me
What is it like to
Crash? The driver
You drink to rumours and talk
About someone new in your bed
There is no game to win so
Get out as fast as you can
Hung up on 'the time'
Hung up on 'my age'
You don't know
You don't know
What it's like to
Crash? The driver
Why don't you ever listen?
It's you I'm talking to
This time it's your decision
We're into something new
I know that I'm sinking
Oh any fool can see
Time that I was thinking
Of no-one else but me
Change your mind
Nothing ever stays the same
Change your mind
No-one ever plays the game game game
Change your mind
Give up what you can't defend
Change your mind
Think it up and start again 'gain 'gain
Why can't you reconsider
Listen if you care
Take familiar giver
Reject me if you dare
Give me what I'm asking
And save it all for me
Love that's everlasting
That's how it's meant to be
Change your mind
Nothing ever stays the same
Change your mind
No-one ever plays the game game game
Change your mind
Give up what you can't defend
Change your mind
Think it up and start again 'gain 'gain
Change your mind
Nothing ever stays the same
Change your mind
No-one ever plays the game game game
Change your mind
Give up what you can't defend
Change your mind
Think it up and start again 'gain 'gain
Something here
Something is cold and you know
To speak now is to lie
Sad mistake
Maybe it's mine but I know
You wake up with strangers
Is this love
If I said goodbye there would be
No-one to listen
I could ask
"How do you feel?" but I know
You breathe in emotion
So goodbye
I can't play anymore
So goodbye
I'm off the friendship line
So goodbye
I'm breathing emotion like some hero
Breathe in emotion
I could cry
"Nothing is wrong" but you know
I don't believe it
I could write
Words on a page but I know
Love doesn't live here
Look at me
Look at my eyes and you'll know
Everything's over
This is me
This is my heart and you know
I breathe in emotion
So goodbye
I can't play anymore
So goodbye
I'm off the friendship line
So goodbye
I'm breathing emotion like some hero
Breathe in emotion
So goodbye
I can't play anymore
So goodbye
I'm off the friendship line
So goodbye
I'm breathing emotion like some hero
So goodbye
I can't play anymore
So goodbye
I'm off the friendship line
So goodbye
I'm breathing emotion like some hero
So goodbye
I can't play anymore
So goodbye
I'm off the friendship line
So goodbye
I'm breathing emotion like some hero
I put my fear back in its box
And I put the box where love is blind
And I walk in the dark
Where pain waits smiling
And I know that I can't leave
I look at what I've become
I'm a pure and perfect lie
Like a blind man falling
Scared and helpless
And I'm still falling from grace
I'm so cold
Don't leave me blind
I'm so cold
Don't leave me blinded
I don't know why I'm afraid
I don't know why I'm unsure
And if it all comes down to
What I'm feeling
I don't know what I can say
I'm so cold
Don't leave me blind
I'm so cold
Don't leave me blinded
I stumble
In the depths of my sin
On my knees
I'm a sick man drowning
I belong
But for you it's down to
Who you know
And do you need this?
I'm so cold
Don't leave me blind
I'm so cold
Here am I
Like a target in flesh
One more time
For you to call out the dogs
Passengers
With a ticket to burn and burn and burn
You will learn
I'm still waiting for you you know
I'm a slogan, an old story,
A disease, never again
I don't like this, new anger,
These young boys, just make me laugh
This picture, I'm so nervous,
The DJ, says 'who are you?'
Look at me, I'm shaking,
I don't know if I can move
I don't need
This attention again
I've lost time
I could lose everything
You will learn
That you've nowhere to go so go
[Instrumental]
[Instrumental]
[Instrumental]
Cars
Here in my car
I feel safest of all
I can lock all my doors
It's the only way to live
In cars
Here in my car
I can only receive
I can listen to you
It keeps me stable for ( NIGHTS )
- THIS IS THE ONLY WRONG WORD YOU PUT DAYS
In cars
Here in my car
Where the image breaks down
Will you visit me please?
If I open my door
In cars
Here in my car
I know I've started to think
About leaving tonight
Although nothing seems right
In cars
Listen Zara
Boys like me
We get used to
Things like you
Boys like me
We don't understand
Lies like yours
Listen Zara
Boys like me
From rags to riches
Bleed for you
Boys like me
Regret things sometimes
Things like you
Listen Zara
Boys like me
We are short stories
Shapes for you
Boys like me
We live in dreams
But they'ew yours not ours.
So, I prayed...
But you weren't listening.
Making miracles?
So, I begged...
But you were far away.
Saving souls perhaps?
So, I screamed...
But she was very small
And you have worlds to mend.
So, she died...
And you were glorious.
But you were somewhere else.
If you are my shepherd
Then I'm lost and no one can find me.
If you are my saviour
Then I'm dead and no one can help me.
If you are my glory
Then I'm sick and no one can cure me.
If you light my darkness
Then I'm blind and no one can see me.
If you are my father
Then love lies abandoned and bleeding.
If you are my comfort
Then nightmares are real and deceiving.
If you are my answer
Then I must have asked the wrong question.
I'd spit on your heaven
If I could find one to believe in.
Don't worry, I won't hurt U
I only want U 2 have some fun
I was dreamin' when I wrote this
Forgive me if it goes astray
But when I woke up this mornin'
Coulda sworn it was judgment day
The sky was all purple,
there were people runnin' everywhere
Tryin' 2 run from the destruction,
U know I didn't even care
'Cuz they say two thousand zero zero party over,
oops out of time
So tonight I'm gonna party like it's 1999
I was dreamin' when I wrote this
So sue me if I go 2 fast
But life is just a party, and parties weren't meant 2 last
War is all around us, my mind says prepare 2 fight
So if I gotta die I'm gonna listen 2 my body tonight
Yeah, they say two thousand zero zero party over,
oops out of time
So tonight I'm gonna party like it's 1999
Yeah
Lemme tell ya somethin'
If U didn't come 2 party,
don't bother knockin' on my door
I got a lion in my pocket,
and baby he's ready 2 roar
Yeah, everybody's got a bomb,
we could all die any day
But before I'll let that happen,
I'll dance my life away
Oh, they say two thousand zero zero party over,
oops out of time
We're runnin' outta time (Tonight I'm gonna)
So tonight we gonna (party like it's 1999)
we gonna, oww
Say it 1 more time
Two thousand zero zero party over oops,
out of time
No, no (Tonight I'm gonna)
So tonight we gonna (party like it's 1999)
we gonna, oww
Alright, it's 1999
You say it, 1999
1999
1999 don't stop, don't stop, say it 1 more time
Two thousand zero zero party over,
oops out of time
Yeah, yeah (Tonight I'm gonna)
So tonight we gonna (party like it's 1999)
we gonna, oww
Yeah, 1999 (1999)
Don'tcha wanna go (1999)
Don'tcha wanna go (1999)
We could all die any day (1999)
I don't wanna die,
I'd rather dance my life away (1999)
Listen 2 what I'm tryin' 2 say
Everybody, everybody say party
C'mon now, U say party
That's right, everybody say (Party)
Can't run from the revelation, no (Party)
Sing it 4 your nation y'all (Party)
Tell me what you're singin', baby say (Party)
Telephone's a-ringin', mama (Party)
C'mon, c'mon, U say (Party)
Everybody, [two times] (Party)
Work it down 2 the ground, say (Party)

Come on, take my body, baby (Party)
That's right, c'mon, sing the song (Party)

That's right (Party)
Got a lion in my pocket mama, say (Party)
Oh--and he's ready 2 roar (Party)
Mommy--why does everybody have a bomb?
Mommy--why does everybody have a bomb?
[Instrumental]
Nothing I can say
Can make your picture talk
I feel so tired and
Nothing I can do
Will make your picture move
I feel so helpless but
I can feel
A child with the ghost here
You let your heart slip away
If I had one wish
I'd wish to talk with you
I have some questions
Things only you could know
If I had one wish
I'd wish to talk with you
Nothing you can feel
Can feel as cold as this
I'll sing this song and
I'll say goodbye forever
I wonder
If God is all they say
I can't believe in such things.
I suppose
Some games are hard to lose
But you don't have to play 'cos
I can feel
A child with the ghost here
You let your heart slip away
I'm up here
Youre down there
Call me the baitman
I'm screaming for air
Colour me black
If you wish, but
I don't believe
I don't believe
My God
I don't crash
Te sky moves
I'll shape you dreams
That a lifetime can't lose
I won't talk
I won't sing
They call me render
The shaper of things
Oh God
I'm not down
I'm not ashamed
Call it the job
If you need something to blame
Young reckless sleepers
Still screaming for air
I don't care
I don't care
Dear God
My name is Smith
Your silence is my trade
My name is Smith
Here in this bar you fade out
Time heals nothing
It merely rearranges our memory
In zero bars
Even time no longer seems willing to try
Please look around
Empty faces that never quite die
Don't be surprised
Their bodies move by habit, look in their eyes
Nothing is real
If you break down and cry they won't even stare
Nobody feels
It's far too risky to admit that you care
My name is Smith
Your silence is my trade
My name is Smith
Here in this bar you fade out
Here we play games
Like turning men into boys
And everyone must cry or love
Recall 'My circuit'
Recall 'I'm not-you are'
Remember that I moved too soon
Corridor empty
Time to call in the stage
A game called echo
Now I ask questions
I get so nervous of
A game called echo
We rename vehicles
You rename heroes
I switch to auto
You are reception
I can take it or leave
Do I need permission to stop?
Can you feel it?
This killing obsession
You know we're coming, you know we're coming
Can you feel it?
We're the exhibition
Unknown and hostile we breathe for you
Can you feel it?
We're the new obsession
Can you feel it?
We're the new disease.
You won't like it
Images of lovers
I don't need it, I don't need it
You won't like it
We believe in nothing
I don't remember did God retire?
You won't like it
We're the new religion
You won't like it
We're the new disease.
Can you feel it?
Can you feel it?
You won't like it
We're the new religion
You won't like it
We're the new disease
You won't like it
We're the new obsession
You won't like it
We're the new disease.
New thing from London Town
Refugees of broken sound
The sound of breathing and crying hearts
This situation tears me apart.
The new police will find me soon
I can't hide inside this room
I'm waiting for the boys to come
Then we can move out one by one.
New thing from London Town.
New thing from London Town
Nothing left to keep us down
We are not responsible
Someone pays and someone falls
We slide into the night
Silhouettes in a cold blue light
Take a look and look away
We need something we need to play.
New thing from London Town.
Something is here
I can hear them breathe
Something is here
And I'm scared
Beg to your gods
But I don't believe
Nothing in here
Can help me now
Cold warning comes for me
Something is here
And I've got the nerves
Something is here
And I'm cold
I'm so lonely
Do you know how it feels?
All I can do
Now is lose
Cold warning comes for me
Keep your love songs
We've all heard
Keep your pictures
We've all seen
Keep your kind words
And keep your tears.
I'm only here
For a thousand years
Here on this prison moon.
Have you been here?
Have you ever been here?
If only the sun would shine tonight
If only the sun would shine
I vote for pleasure
I vote for sleep
I vote for power
That I can keep
I vote for words
That no-one hears
I'm only here
For a thousand years
Here on this prison moon.
Have you been here?
Have you ever been here?
If only the sun would shine tonight
If only the sun would shine
Look at your face
It's so fortunately arranged
Don't look back
I can assure you that you won't like what you see
You step on my dreams
I could whisper
You intrude on me
I could whisper
You close in and I'm so uneasy
Hotel rooms, sweet dreams
Like slot machines that call it 'Love love'
A coin in the hole
You young things never stay young for longe
This edge in my voice
But there's really nothing much to say
My conscience mends
I suppose it all meant something to you.
You step on my dreams
I could whisper
You intrude on me
I could whisper
You close in and I'm so uneasy
Love me
I'm cheap to rent
You could tell me
Of when you were young
Forgive and forget
The rhythm of the evening
Will tear us apart again
Talk talk
I only talk
'Don't tell me lies'
Said the tick tock man
You're black
You're white
The rhythm of the evening
Will tear you apart again
Is this my mother?
Pieces of a picture
But I've seen them before
Look what
Love's done to me
The rhythm of the evening
Will tear me apart again
Let the wild
Come in
These boys of pleasure
Are nothing more than faggots
I'm not a
Man who laughs but
The rhythm of the evening
Will tear them apart again
The iceman comes
Someone is out there
They'll wait and won't make mistakes
The iceman comes
My head runs empty
Oh I've got the fear
The iceman comes for me.
The iceman comes
Blow dust off your stories
I could give in
The iceman comes
I'll send, you'll take
Is this such dark business?
The iceman comes for me.
Version1
-------------------------
My car slides
My last words are:
'Help. Mother I'm...'
My car slides
I wait for cold
A fear of the dark
My car slides
And I pray to
Things I've not seen
Here am I
Sad and lonely
Here am I
Quite by chance I slide
My car slides
The radio plays
'Heaven...' something
My car slides
This quiet night
Time plays slow tricks
My car slides
My clock runs down
Tick tock tick...
Here am I
Sad and lonely
Here am I
Quite by chance I slide
Version2
-------------------------------
Now there's a girl outside my door
She's raw pink shame
She makes love as the machines play
Sound effects of mayhem
She disconnects my own heart at times
The cure comes next
Here am I
Sad and lonely
Here am I
Quite by chance I slide
She has the problem of need
Not conversation
She can only whisper such things
Like 'I tear inside'
She's like a gangster in drag I knew
Skin like china.
Here am I
Sad and lonely
Here am I
Quite by chance I slide
This heart is empty
I've barely hidden memories
I've found a picture that haunts me again
I've no sad expression
I've no tears in my eyes
But I am the clown who forgot how to laugh
I wonder, does she think of me?
I wonder, I wonder
I wonder, does she call my name?
I cried
Don't leave me here alone
I cried
Don't leave me, don't leave me
Love is like clock law
Tick tock my heartbeat
I was a passion that passed her spare time
This room is prison
Love doesn't come here
These quiet nights will slowly kill me
I wonder, does she think of me?
I wonder, I wonder
I wonder, does she call my name
I cried
Don't leave me here alone
I cried
Don't leave me here alone
I cried
Don't leave me, don't leave me
Don't leave me, don't leave me
I cried
Don't leave me, don't leave me here
I'm quite alone
";Flow my tears"; the new police song
The slogan of peace is ";you must live";
They've got me and I'm one of them
Cancel: ";silence"; they screamed for days
";We've been here before, we won't stay";
They can die, they can just turn off
Some vehicle moves in circles
Some people need the heroes
But I don't mind
I don't mind
Please listen to the sirens
We don't wish to be your friends
Please listen to the sirens
We won't ever call again
Mister Webb there is no way out
Love this room, please don't fight your walls
Can you see I'm wasting your time
A streetcar's rusting unseen
Music hall's empty like me
But I don't care
I don't care
Please listen to the sirens
We don't wish to be your friends
Please listen to the sirens
We won't ever call again
If I could stay here for now
With someone just a bit like you
";Oh, no";
Maybe I would dream again
Of someone just a bit like you
";S'pose so";
Station boys keep their hands on steel
Tubeway days now seem quite unreal
It's always so close but never quite arrives
My face is like an old film, shaky
There's nothing through my window, oh my
No photo by my bedside, black/white
No image in my mirror, bye bye
See the strange boy keeping to the shadows
He's a very good friend of mine
I've seen you running from the ladies
Don't tell me you're not that kind
I've got the time if you've got the money
Mister you'll be pleased you'll see
We'll meet by the tubeway as the screamer cries eleven
And you can have your way with me
You're gonna make me feel so cold
See my one love talking to the pretty boy
I never did like her taste
My skin is rubber on a skeletal body
I'm physically going to waste
Feel my eyes and the tongue of a killer
I'm a humanoid logic machine
Don't touch me with your painted little fingers
'Cos I know where they've been
You're not gonna put those scabs on me
I must hide from a thousand grinning faces
All sucking from my crazy mind
Take a ride out in my imagery of ages
And heaven knows what you will find
I've no time for the chitter-chatter ladies
I'm so busy trying to break this wall
Hear my words 'cos emotion now is leaving
You see I'm really not a human at all
And I don't think I wanna stay
The problems of need
I need you
Obscene dreams in
Rusty beds
No one came here
Tonight
I pulled on me
I need to
I unstick pages and read
I look at pictures of you
I smell the lust in my hands
Everyday I die
Her favorite trick
Was to suck me inside
Oh so very
Art nouveau
Completely false
Feelings of love I don't
No one knows, but that died
Years ago
I unstick pages and read
I look at pictures of you
I smell the lust in my hands
Everyday I die
No one's alive
You could almost be me
What do you mean
";Oh, nothing, nothing at all";
Room 8 top floor
I've seen this man before
Are you real?
Is it me, is it you
Cold metal voice
Of no one's friend it could be mine
My reflection
Is no longer me at all
Am I a fake
Of the man and are you of me
Are you real?
Is it me, is it you
Relax in a backroom
Oh me oh my oh wouldn't you
I know your face
Your connection is broken, boy
Nothing is new
Remember? I've got no time
Are you real?
Is it me, is it you
Real?
Real?
Real?
[Instrumental]
INSTRUMENTAL
Where are the tracks?
Where are the lines?
Where are the tracks, dear?
Where is the time?
You were so cold
You were so slow
You were so old
And we were unsure
And I want your lines
And I want your time
And I want your face, dear
And you can have mine
They say that
Neon lights are bright on Broadway
They say there's always magic in the air
But when you're walking down the street
And you ain't had enough to eat
The city all lights up and you're nowhere
They say
The girls are something else on Broadway
Looking at them just gives me the blues
'Cause how're you gonna make some time
When all you got is one thin dime
And one thin dime won't even shine your shoes
They say that
Love won't last too long on Broadway
Now catch a Greyhound bus for home
They all say
I bet they're wrong, I know they are
'Cause I can play this here guitar
And I won't quit 'till I'm a star
On Broadway
[Instrumental]
I could stand here for days
Or I could stand here for hours
I could stand here for a lifetime
Watching you and waiting always
I could observe you all
I could wait for a day
Or I could wait for an hour
I could wait here for a lifetime
Watching you and thinking always
I could observe you all
Look up I hear the scream of sirens on the wall
I see a policeman crying in the backseat of a dying Ford
Hotel waiters leave the bedrooms of stars
Who are far too old
And no-one ever told me
That I could be so cold
Bombers fight at zero feet
Bombers fight at zero
I see an old man knocked to the ground
And beaten by the vicar's wife
No-one stops to help they're far too busy
Trying to save their own lives
A tiny girl screams for mother
And wanders out into the street
I saw her going down underneath
A thousand people's running feet
Bombers fight at zero feet
Bombers fight at zero
All the junkies pulling needles from their arms
Hope it lasts all night
And all the soldiers curse the day they joined the army
And prepare to fight
In silent bars, in silent rooms, in silent cars
You hide where you can
And me I know just where you are, you see
I'm a bomber man
Bombers fight at zero feet
Bombers fight at zero
[Instrumental]
The sound of breathing
";Protect the disease in me"; she says
The sound of breathing
I have never known fear like this before
I remember
";The Beauties's old but still as good"; she said
I remember
That I woke up in a cold dark room again
We are new men
We're the service, the pleasure skin
We are new men
No words, no image, no hope and fame
No shelter
You could feel the bitch outside the door
No shelter
She said ";nothing is leaving here alive";
I was waiting for something
I was listening to my breathing
Like a man listening to life
I was looking for fire
It could take me or leave me
It could all just burn away
The oxygen law
It remains me
I'd been surrounded for hours
By the sound of thinking metal
And I knew something was wrong
I can tell you what fear is
It is the smell of burning
And I'd been close once before
I waited a long time
How I survived God only knows
It seemed like forever
How I survived God only knows
I don't like the memory
How I survived God only knows
How I survived God only knows
I remember the feeling
I'll remember forever
How it all just came apart
I don't believe in praying
I don't believe in a God
Now I question everything
The dreamer is gone
I'm an old man
I could tell you of horror
I could show you the pieces
But I just want to forget
I'm not sure if I saw it
I'm not sure if I heard it
I just screamed 'I can't get out'
'I can't get out'
[Instrumental]
Send in the guards
We are all new faces
I'm so sorry
But my reasons are wrong
My reasons are wrong
We are on joy circuit
The image fix
Rewind, cry
Well it's somewhere to go
Well it's somewhere to go
Tell me of your pain
Love it, love it
Show me the new way
Love it, love it
It's so unusual
But all I find is a reason to die
A reason to die
You can cry by my window
You can crawl on the floor
You can scream if you want to
But I won't unlock the door
You can sleep in bus shelters
You can sleep in the park
But I'll rip up the trees
Until you tear yourself apart
But I don't love you
No I don't love you
Do you dream?
Back to surveillance
Open eyes and wash out 'tear'
A sign that says 'no exit'
And 'no-one can save you here'
I could talk about my programme
Where everything is white
I could specialise in pictures
Where nothing's ever right
But I don't love you
No I don't love you
Do you dream?
We are just sound
We are just noise
And we are all here to lie
Do you dream?
You sleep by windows
You sleep by windows
Do you cry?
Do you dream?
Do you?
Did you?
We'll take a taxi to the show
We could report by phone
We could remind ourselves that
We must laugh
Reconsider: 'fame'
I need new reasons
This is detention it's not fun at all
Remind me to smile
You know, 'the old friends' line
It gets so I feel like
I'm in this cold, glass, cage
I've got the horrors
Check, over my shoulder
I punch the air and fight but
No-one's there
You you - Oh no
Old scars - don't show
We fall - you see
Crawl crawl - in love
I dive - so clean
Young things - don't scream
Toys toys - so far
Boys boys - you are
(Chorus)
Get off the car
Get off the phone
Move from my window, leave me alone
Keep your revivals
Keep your conventions
Keep all your fantasies that's all we are
Now I'm behind glass
I'll talk to you
The telephone lines blind
You have defaced my face
I bet you laughed at me
You bright young things
And now I need no-one
I miss you, so
Please push no more
Please push no more
Now it's all over for sure
I'll walk back home
We must all come down
We all grow old
We are close, we are hurt
So that was love
And love she kills me
It needs to, so
Please push no more
Please push no more
Please push no more
Please push no more
Send in eyes
Thought's of crashing, all those pictures
Send in thoughts of John the God
Send in dreams
Lovers on corners, clean my sheets
Your only chance is break the state
We are clean
Don't ask, I'm an agent
Send in change
Secretaries, nothing more
You can be replaced you know
Send in chance
Bad conditions, talk of leaving
Talk of walking out on me
Send in you
Send in pain, send in lies
Send in words that I believe
Send in you
Just watch the face, your sure to see
Something, give this game away
Send in you
Get her out, get her out
Call me, just don't say the name
I am the final silence
The last electrician alive
And they called me the sparkle
I was the best, I worked them all
New ways, New ways
I dream of wires
We opened doors by thinking
We went to sleep by dialing 'O'
We drove to work by proxy
I plugged my wife in, just for show
New ways, New ways
I dream of wires
So I press 'C' for comfort
I dream of wires, the old days
Is this desire
Or a disease?
If I surrender
Will you come for me?
Will you come for me?
Is this your mercy
Or sacrifice?
No absolution
If you come for me.
If you come for me.
So will I suffer
Humility,
Divine forgiveness,
When you come for me?
When you come for me
So I close my eyes and drift into sleep,
But something is here,
In the dark, in the dream.
Like a cruel wind clutching my heart,
I feel more than I see,
Like a clue to a nightmare that I can't believe.
Then it touches me and I try to scream,
And a thought tears me inside.
And I will do anything,
Anything, you understand?
Just to wake up.
Sometimes it almost makes me cry.
Sometimes it seems to call my name out loud.
Sometimes it feels like I'm alone
And then it comes for me again.
I'm told it's called the un-reality dream.
I'm told it's called the great American lie.
I'm told that this is like the vengeance of God.
I can't believe that God would do this to me.
I've known fear many times, but nothing like this.
I'm so scared I can't breathe.
I know I'm asleep, but I know this is real,
And no one can help me here.
I'm deep inside something, and I may never come back,
And then it was gone,
And then I realised that the rush brought it in,
And I will never sleep alone again.
Sometimes it almost breaks my heart.
Sometimes I swear I hear it laugh at me.
Sometimes it feels like I could die
And then it leaves my dreams again.
Feels like I'm fighting the possession of my soul.
I'm told that this is called the sickness of need.
I've got to cut the sex connection and slide
A word of warning to the weary and wise.
When my eyes first saw you
A vision
My heart missed a beat
And I cried
I knew then I loved you
And I do
Now you are my reason for living
And now
You walk in my soul
You dance in my heart
You draw breath for me
I'll stand by your side
I'll kneel at your feet
Share my life with me
I've waited years
I've waited all my life for you
You are my world
All of my dreams and I need you
I'll love you forever
And a day
I'll love you till God comes and takes me away
You sing to my soul
You play with my heart
You breathe life for me
I'll always be yours
And I'd die for you
Share my life with me
I can't believe
How much you mean to me, and so
Pick up a piece
A piece of my heart
And stay with me
I'm a ghost in the dark and I'm yours.
I belong in the past and I'm yours.
Like a song you forget, and I'm yours.
Like a dream in the night, and I'm yours.
The wrong place?
The wrong time?
I don't know.
The wrong face?
Yours or mine?
I don't know.
Like a tear when you sleep, I'll be yours.
Like a scar that won't fade, I'll be yours.
Like a pain in the cold, I'll be yours.
Like a fear in the heart, I'll be yours.
The wrong word when you cry
I will be
Like the seed of a lie
I will be
Like the germ of disease
I will be
Like the last one who cared
I will be
Like your shadow
I will haunt you
Do you remember?
I said to you
'Love is a mountain
But harder to climb.
It should be forever
But love is unkind
To me.
Don't let me down.'
And you let me down.
I was young
I was cold but not insane
I had one good friend
It was a voice without a name
And so here we are
Same need and same mistake
But it could be yours
You see it could be even be yours
I said I've done things
That left me hurt and ashamed
She said all I need
Is a place to hide the pain
She said don't trust dreams
Because dreams will break your heart
I said little girls play in the house of shame
Some of us play like God
Play like God,
Save my soul
Play like God
I know that God don't live here in my heart
She said touch my soul
I've never touched someone so cold
She said touch my heart
I've never touched something so old
She said play like God
And then you can play with me
I moved underground
And caught the isolation blues
Sound familiar?
I said kiss my face
I've seen things you'll never see
She said kiss my arse
I've been everything I need
She said memories
Are only there to make you bleed
I said little girls play in big boys games
Some of us play but cry
Play like God
Save my soul
Play like God
I know that God don't live here in my world
Where do we belong?
She said I've been sick
But then no-one's clean for long
She said pray for me
Like God, I've fucked the world
I said little girls play with the big disease
Some of us play with you
When I sleep
I slide into
Some heaven
But no one is there.
If I believed,
If I should wonder,
If I forgive
Then would you come for me?
When I sleep
I hear sad words
Songs of God
That show me the lie.
'I'll keep you safe,
I'll keep you warm and
I'll keep you here,
Alone forever.'
And I believe in faith and magic.
And I believe in love and wonder.
And I'll believe in you when you come for me.
And I'll believe in you when the world comes apart.
Call me Deadliner
Nothing in here but dust.
Are you afraid dear listener?
Nothing in here but us.
I'll give you black rumours
'Stay away from everything I've seen.'
I'll give you black rumours
'Stay away from everyone I've been.'
The broken sound of love and lies
Still fill your room.
Faded memories of shame
Will find you soon.
I'll give you corrosion
Miracles are never what they seem
I'll give you corrosion
Welcome to the nightmare, not the dream.
I can remember everything.
Every promise, every lie,
And how the words of strangers made me cry.
All the pride, all the shame,
All the friends that came from nowhere
And then hurried back again.
I collected scars like a man at war
And I thought 'Isn't life peculiar,
Desire takes you there, but not back.'
No more. I'm just another old story.
When God heard your prayer
It said 'I am not your friend.'
Laughed like a fallen angel
And said 'I've no love to send.'
It keeps a photograph
It likes to overdose on time
It said 'Time to leave'
Like other friends of mine.
I'll give you dark wonders
You are all invited to the show.
I'll give you dominions
You are all invited to the show.
I'll give you dead hereos
You are all invited to the show.
I'll give you love and napalm
You are all invited to the show.
I'll crawl for you
Hurt if you want to
I'll be the thing that you feed.
I'm not asking
For love or redemption
I'll sell my guilt to your need.
I'll breathe for you
Die if you want to
I'll mourn with you by my grave.
I dare you to judge me
Now God has disowned me
I've come to you to be saved.
They say I sold my soul.
We all reap what we sow.
I'll shine for you
Burn if you want to
You'll be the prize for my pain.
I'll kill your god
And pray for salvation
I'll be the in to your sane.
I'll lie for you
be your conscience in you
Sacrifice reason for shame.
I won't ask for
Faith or forgiveness
I'll be the blood in your veins.
They say I lost my way
I'll wait for judgement day.
Don't pray for my soul.
Don't pray for my soul.
Don't pray for my soul.
Don't pray for my soul.
I'll be your darkness
In the light
I'll be your vampire calling
In the dead of night
I'll be your demon
Shadow man
I'll be your one confession
And if I can
I'll be your nightmare
And scream for you
I'll be your one possesion
If you want me to
I'll be your secret
Memory,
I'll be your exhibition
Of atrocity.
They say I sold my soul.
We all reap what we sow.
They say I lost my way.
I'll wait for judgement day.
Don't pray for my soul.
Don't pray for my soul.
Don't pray for my soul.
Don't pray for my soul.
They kneel down, praise God
Shout allelujah,
Lift up their eyes when they pray.
When children kill children
Don't it make them wonder?
Don't it make them question their faith?
We have a random on the westside
Personality malfunction
He says I can't give you anything at all
Just a room with a bad view of you
He sent a letter to a downstat
Saying sorry that I missed you
But I can't think of anything to do
He's addicted to the time track
We have a technical
We have a technical
He's in a hotel where they all go
Saying ";Boy, I've lost my memory";
It's so surprising
Just how quickly things can end
Like a hero on a platform of friends
This table is so crowded
With people that I don't know
And I never really turn
My thoughts on you
So the image breaks down again
We have a technical
We have a technical
I suppose it's very shady
At least until the lights go out
Advertising posters on the wall
And the young boys singing softly
Do they ever come back
Or is it always at the wrong time
I could crawl around the floor
Just like I'm real
And move a hand in front of my eyes
We have a technical
We have a technical
I'm in Outland
Sex tension
She whispers things I need
Look in her heart
Slow motion
'I've been expecting you.'
I'm in Outland
I'll do anything.
I'm in Outland
Storm my heart
Tear me up if you like.
Come closer
Say nothing
I've got something for you.
I shape sound
I shape time
I'll shape your world for you.
I'm in Outland
I'll do anything.
I'm in Outland
Emotion
Dark whispers in my head.
Got the sex scream
On new film
I've got the friend I need.
Don't play safe
Don't play clean
Don't play if you can't lose.
I'm in Outland
I'll do anything.
So I've seen my future
And I've seen dream killers
And I've seen you everytime.
So I've heard opinions
And I've heard dark rumours
And I've heard you everytime.
You hurt my feelings
You hurt my family
You hurt my reasons to try
I can't forgive you
I will remember
I'll pay you back one cold day.
So I've seen my weakness
And I've seen my heart break
And I've seen you everytime.
So I've heard promises
And I've heard every lie
And I've heard you everytime.
You lied to father
You lied to mother
You lied to brother and me
I used to dream, now
I forget how to
So should I learn how to lie?
You take my picture
You take my ghosts and laugh
You take my reason
You take my soul away.
You take my heartbeat
You take my innocence
You take my dreams and
You'll take my life away.
So now I'm old news
And you would change me
But I'm so tired of this
There is no comfort
In fame when it dies
And I'm so tired of it.
You're like poison
You smile at me
Talk of love.
'He' will forgive me
If I confess.
Your dark Sunday
You lied to me
And so I
Replaced God
With a picture of my car.
I don't like this
I don't like this.
I'm on the E kick
So heaven's in my head
I'm in Outland
Shame on me.
I want pictures
People come, people go
D'you think God
Will forgive me soon?
You won't like this
You won't like this.
Rip it up
Rip it into pieces
Rip it up
Rip it for good.
Touch me, touch me.
He won't like this
He won't like this
'He' won't touch me
I can't dance and I can't sing
I'm not stone shape
But time runs out.
I don't like this
All I see is cold and hard
All I can do now
Is break 'the word'
I don't like this
I don't like this.
'He' will love me?
Well thank him
For nothing.
I need that like
I need a disease.
So pray for me.
I don't mind
I don't care.
I've found love
It's an American machine.
I don't like this
I don't like this.
I don't like young girls
I don't like boys
I like some bitch to scare me
I like that noise
I don't like secrets
I don't like God
I don't like people
When they say I'm things I'm not
I don't need opinions and rumours
I don't need a voix in the dark
I don't need to listen to strangers
I don't need to tear out my heart
One stranger
One heartbeat
One love is
Forever
One picture
One morning
One tear lasts
Forever
I like this motion
I like this heat
I like this breathing
And I know I like this beat
I like your whispers
I like your screams
I like your lies
And I'm sure I'd like your dreams
You don't need opinions and rumours
You don't need a voix in the dark
You don't need to listen to strangers
You don't need to tear out your heart
I'll show you pictures
I'll make you cry
I'll show you things you've done
And then I'll ask you why
I don't need heroes
I don't need this name
I don't need favours
And I know I don't need fame
We don't need opinions and rumours
We don't need a voix in the dark
We don't need to listen to strangers
we don't need to tear out our hearts
One reason
One secret
One lie is
Forever
One nightmare
One rumour
Your shame is
Forever
Tell you a story
'Bout a friend of mine
Woke up in this room
Looked like... black and white movies
No light
And someone strange in the bed
She said
";You could be here forever";
";Can you feel me?
I'm the new disease
I'm like a hunger
That you've never known";
";Do you want me?
I'll take everything
I'm like a hunger
Lying in your heart";
He made excuses
Tried to leave the room
She said
";I'm the disease and the cure
Skin mechanics
couldn't help you here
The nature of need
Leaves you junk sick and lonely";
";Trick it up
Trick it up good";
She moved
Like a ghost to the door
She said
";This is a re-al love story";
I heard his voice
And walked in on it all
She said
";You could be here forever";
I'm in a car
And I'm over you
I'm a passenger
And I'm over you
I'm looking for
America
I'm looking for
You
I'm in a glasshouse
And I'm over you
I'm thin, far too thin
And I'm over you
I'm in a corner
And I'm over you
I'm old, far too old
And I'm over you
I've seen love
I've seen hate
I've seen all the emotion God creates.
I've seen good
I've seen bad
I've seen everything that you could ever have.
I've seen you
I've seen me
I've seen everything that I could want to be.
I've seen tall things
I've seen long things
I've seen everything a man was meant to see.
No one came,
no one is here
no one remembers.
MAKES CAMBODIA LOOK LIKE KANSAS,ANYTIME
I've heard truth
I've heard lies
I've heard everything that ever crossed your mind.
I've heard( lust?)
I've heard screams
I've heard everything that makes you give up dreams.
I've heard you
I've heard me
I've heard everything I wish could ever be
I've heard music, new heroes
Then I've heard some things I really wouldn't know
(***** ***** ***** ?)
Look in my heart
you will remember
people came
you (fell?) on me
I can remember
MAKES CAMBODIA LOOK LIKE KANSAS,ANYTIME
I break hearts
I broke mine
I'll break everything I'm given if( ***?) time
I've said things I don't mean
I could lie in front of God and he'll beleive
I (cheat?)( ***?)
I (cheat?) time
I'll take everything you see
and make it mine
I don't like this confession
(**** **** ****?) heard( **** ****?) all
someone came
(we have the cure?)
I'll always wonder
Friends can change
some go some stay
I can't remember
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What's it to you
If I feel now
Just a face in the wall
Crawling out of the ground
Now look at me
You cry
Like a leaf in the fall
I fly in the sky, don't you?
What's it to you
This noise noise
Like a plaque on the wall
One of these days
I'll just leave
(What's it to you?)
As boys drown
You feel like young gods
You know
All young gods must fade
(What's it to you?)
What's it to you
Going down boys
Like a screw in the wall
My lovers never leave in love
Play war like marines
Just noise noise
Just roar roar
One of these days
(What's it to you?)
[Instrumental]
You and me are old
You and me are young
You and me have always
Let words go unsung
Nothing left to see
Nothing left to do
Nothing left to talk about
How I intrude
This impossible room
I still believe
That great American smile
Nothing's ever right
Nothing's ever wrong
But nothing's ever quite like
The stories and songs (nothing's ever)
Heroes always bleed
But heroes never cry
Heroes always get the best girl
and then die (nothing's ever)
How I intrude
This impossible dream
I still believe
That great American smile
[Instrumental]

Thought I was asleep
Lost to dreams
I was dying in a big machine
Didn't think the voice that called me
Could be real.
Thought I woke up
Lost my faith
I was staring at the face of rage
Didn't think I'd see the demon in ";His"; heart.
Thought I saw blood
Turn to wine
A vision from the angel wars
Didn't think I'd find the saviour in the dark.
Thought I saw a light
Tear the storm
Showing me the way to God
Didn't know that Heaven died and went to Hell.
Blessed is dead Heaven
Blessed are shadows and pain
Blessed is dead Heaven
Blessed is death in ";His"; name
Thought I saw rain
Black and cold
Falling on a child's grave
Thought I saw an angel laugh and piss on it.
Thought I saw a dance
Strange and cruel
Swaying to the screams of men
Thought I saw the Lord's disciples laugh at that.
Thought I saw love
Sacrificed
Mary under three wise men
Thought I saw the Virgin look at me and cry.
Thought I saw a cross
And Jesus dead
Burning in the midnight sky
Thought I saw God dancing in the flames.
Glory is dead Heaven
Glory is shadows and pain
Glory is dead Heaven
Glory is death in ";His"; name
";Do you confess?";
";Cleanse your sin";
";Do you believe in the word of God?";
Welcome to dead Heaven
Welcome to shadows and pain
Welcome to dead Heaven
Welcome to death in ";His"; name
So I wandered like Jesus
Like an alien cure
Searching for my disciples
Dispossessed and alone.
So I looked deeper
Into evil
And I came closer
To your corruption.
I took a virgin like Mary
And said ";I give you The One";
I confessed to desire
And watched the world come undone.
So I looked deeper
Into evil
And I came closer
To your obsession.
So I looked deeper
Into evil
And I came closer
To Heaven.
Your Heaven.
So I moved like a rumour
Like a glorious lie
And I walked into Heaven
Into dead paradise.
I would swim across oceans
Just to talk with you
I would climb a tall mountain
Just to look at you
I'd give my soul to the devil
If you asked me to
I would walk out of heaven
Just to be with you
This is absolute
This is absolution
I will be your disciple
And I'll worship you
Burn the prophets of reason
Light the sky for you
Kill the children of Eden
If you want me to
Close the dead eyes of God
If they offended you
This is absolute
This is absolution
I've seen the 'action'
All kinds of people
Seen things disgusting
I've seen it all
I've heard excuses
All kinds of stories
I've heard confessions
I've heard it all
They wrote bad poems
Painted bad pictures
They say we used them
I'm not sure
Some call it love and
Some call it affection
I don't believe it
It's all clean young flesh
And we all fall down
We all fall down
You say you want it
Dress to kill and kill me
We could play new games
And you could lose
Don't tell your mother
Or some jealous husband
Don't talk of love just
Send me a postcard
We need to feel it
We need to feel it
I've lost all patience
You'll lose all pride
I've no conversation
I've no good intentions
I've room for one more
I've room for you
They say we're 'corrupted'
They say we're 'disturbing'
I don't know
It must be true
They say we're 'reckless'
They say we're 'vicious'
It's just a rumour
We don't leave scars
She likes the movement
She likes the motion
She likes to whisper
But then she likes to scream
She likes the dancing
She likes the make up
She likes to forget
'bout everything
Assassination of the voice of God
I don't know if I can do it
I've found the problem and the problem's you
I'm here to pick up the pieces.
You won't remember me but I do you
I told you that I would come back
Everything will be decided here
They can read it in the papers.
Your breathing haunts me
My breathing?
The sleeproom still waits for me.
Join the army you can see the world
I remember this one patrol
Been liberating river towns
And we picked up the sex skin crawl.
We would sing the new leader's song
Everyone invented stories
The connection was a fragile thing
Far too many distractions.
I've been listening to the new 'DJ'
What's all this 'original' con?
We all live in the same museum
We all rearrange the same old song.
Assassination by the radio
I don't know if they can do it
I've found the problem and the problem's 'One'
I'm here to pick up the pieces.
The alarm rang for days
You could tell from conversations
I was waiting by the screen
I couldn't recognise my photograph
Me, I disconnect from you
I was walking up the stairs
Something moved in silence
I could feel his mind decaying
Only inches away from me
And I disconnect from you
Please don't turn me off
I don't know what I'm doing outside
Me and the telephone that never rings
If you were me, what would you do?
Me, I disconnect from you
This is not love
This is not even worth a point of view
In Echo Park, I
Pause for effect and whisper 'who are you?'
They crawl out of their holes for me
And I die: You die
Hear them laugh, watch them turn on me
And I die: You die
See my scars, they call me such things
Tear me, tear me, tear me
Now I have your names
Screaming 'you will suffer' and 'you're all too late'
Now I feel young
Does everything stop when the old dame fails?
They crawl out of their holes for me
And I die: You die
Hear them laugh, watch them turn on me
And I die: You die
See my scars, they call me such things
Tear me, tear me, tear me
But I'm still frightened by the telephone
It's cold outside
And the paint's peeling off of my walls
There's a man outside
In a long coat, grey hat, smoking a cigarette
Now the light fades out
And I'm wondering what I'm doing in a room like this
There's a knock on the door
And just for a second I thought I remembered you
So now I'm alone
Now I can think for myself
About little deals
And *issues*
And things that I just don't understand
Like a white lie that night
Or a slight touch at times
I don't think it meant anything to you
So I open the door
It's the `friend' that I'd left in the hallway
";Please sit down";
A candle lit a shadow on a wall near the bed
You know I hate to ask
But, are `friends' electric?
Mine's broke down
And now I've no one to love
So I find out your reason
For the phone calls and smiles
And it hurts
And I'm lonely
And I should never have tried
And I missed you tonight
So it's time to leave
You see this means everything to me
She'll take a slowcar to China
She'll pay the rent for the use of you
She'll take a slowcar to China
She'll pay the rent for the use of you tonight.
We are not afraid to love, but no new ideas
You almost get used to such things you know.
The mechanics on the phone again, we break down.
The others you'd remember if I could spare some time.
In love with this elegant bitch
And here am I just a shy young fool
In love with this elegant bitch
She only sparkles at times for you tonight.
She forgets that we know,
She forgets who we are
I suppose the things I overheard were quite by chance
The only story I ever knew or cared for
Best left unheard I suppose, don't you?
You look for somewhere to start to look
We'll take a slowcar to China
Everything that you need is here
We'll take a slowcar to China
Everything that you need is here tonight.
I forgot not to call,
and now we're out of love.
She'll take a slowcar to China
A little green worm inside my head
She'll take a slowcar to China
A little green worm inside my head tonight.
There's nothing much to keep us alive, but 'Dance'.
All that she can say is goodbye. All things change I suppose
We'll sing without voice, without heart and leave no address
I well never ever see you again. I know.
Don't take a slowcar to China
She needed nothing and no one so
Don't take a slowcar to China
She needed nothing and no one here tonight.
You will pay like before.
Always one step behind.
You will pay Mr Jones.
Always one step away.
There's no one here to leave you behind but me.
What's it like to be face to face with me?
Playing tricks with hearts quite as young as yours
Do you know what the reunion pays for you?
Do you feel like I'm supposed to do?
I could be love
I could be your assassin. I don't know
Pictures of my face dissappear with time
They gave boys to quite tasteless friends of mine
Re-arrange thoughts to 'what will be will be'
There is no god so pray to me
Here we are
We drift like gas
On someone else's bed
I pay high you know
Here we are
How old are you
It's just a job to me
Here the ladies always ring twice
Thought you'd slip away tonight with me
In a subway I called 'you'
Hello you no more this talk of
'My boys will be yours'
No more 'I'
This conversation drains
My patience dry.
Here the business always rings twice
No relaxing for the boys tonight
In a subway I called 'you'
Here the tension always slows twice
Shed one tear it's just routine for now
In a subway I called 'you'
Why give orders?
Why give speeches?
No more questions
No more answers
All that's left is the fear
I can feel they're here
I can feel the cold
I can't fight for long
This machine runs down
If I had a picture
I could say it's all for you.
Why give orders?
And why make speeches?
Give me a reason to stay
This dying machine
I can hear me scream
I've nowhere to run
I've nowhere to hide
I can only wonder
I can only wonder why
Why give orders?
And why make speeches?
Give me a reason to die
This shape comes apart
Everything breaks down
And me, I'm trapped inside
And here inside it ends.
There's nothing I can do
There's nothing I can do now
If I had a picture
I could say it's all for you
I can only wonder
I can only wonder why.
