She stroked the telephone
She touched the radio
She felt the magazine
She couldn't even scream
The cinema was far too far
Women sick of slimming
Eat the pills of living
Boredom, boredom, boredom
Psycho surrender
Boredom, boredom, boredom
Boredom, boredom, boredom
Psycho surrender
Boredom, boredom, boredom
And nothing seems important
In the corner with the wardens
Nothing happens and nothing shines
And no one minds
He locked another room
He threw away the key
No one would ever know
A siren in the crowd
Drowned every sound for miles and miles
Big men from the bottom
In a trap that's rotten
Boredom... (etc)
You've got a room
And nowhere else to go
A trouble maker then
But looking at her now
No one would ever know
An understanding once
Fast and easy
Turned out just the same
To slow and crazy
Boredom (etc)
(solo)
Boredom (etc)
No winters
No windows
No winners
No view
No you to
Remind me of

I feel the blood of a reptile run
Through the veins of a child
And should my eyes trick my memory
Will the beast shed his skin in the wild
The screen is lit
And there they stand
In single line
A column of figures
That totals something different - everytime
Perhaps his face was wiped away that night
To leave some other that I'll never recognise;
Do I remember how he held the woman down
His shadow made a pool so deep she had to drown
Eleven faces
Blank and taunting
Through the glass
A swarm of eyes
I didn't see before - now wait for me to pass
Perhaps his face was wiped away that night
To leave some other that I'll never recognise;
Do I remember how he held the woman down
His shadow made a pool so deep she had to drown
Ten faces melt away until there's only one
And someone murmurs now, you must decide
I feel the blood of a reptile run
Through the veins of a child
And should my eyes trick my memory

Samsara was the state I lived in
The city walls forestalled a break-in
The brochure told folks they were safe here
A destination with no check-in
The women there were tantalising
Shame shaped their minds through advertising
The clothes we chose for lies to live in
We had no guide but television
Samsara was the state that I lived in
A destination with no check-in. Samsara
Samsara was the state I lived in
Just like L.A. with no religion
Some teacher told me I was gifted
Her number wasn't even listed
I wasn't sure if she existed
Samsara was the state that I lived in
A destination with no check-in. Samsara
Now far from home this body's shaking
With fantasies I fed to blind me
The open door is now behind me

A bat on the edge
With a bad mind
Privately found
The best release I know
Some way to let go
I hang on to my vertigo
I hang on
A slow death ahead
Is a sad slide
Perfectly formed
To feel a fall like lead
A balcony for my bed
I hang on to my vertigo
I hang on
Spinning alone
I look down
I'm unshy on the skyline
Hiding at home
Don't you feel low
Wasting your breath
And your friends' time
Up, oh
I want to be alone
Me on a high wire
A cat on the ledge
With a bad sign
Secretly dead
It's good to look down
A one way view and so
I hang on to my vertigo
I hang on
Spinning alone
I look down
I'm unshy on the skyline
Hiding at home
Don't you feel low
Wasting your breath
And your friends' time
Up, oh
I want to be alone
Me on a high wire
Up, oh
I want to be alone
Me on a high wire

And now friends and lovers,
To all of you who understand,
But never hear, from our silence
A word for you.
In a world of changes,
Where he who gives is passed around,
Save a smile for your own passing
To lead you on.
I'll try friend and lover,
To let you fly your own sky.
With my blessing from my silence
My love for you.
Lyric: David MacIver
Music: Rupert Hine

"From me to Rupe"

Set up - set up for the sake of a comfortable home
Too young - too young to take control
Mother's little weapon for when Father broke the rules
He never wanted her or me
He just wanted to be free
There's a risk and a twist
And all this from the girl you missed by minutes
On the day you were hit
Set up - every opportunity to make me like them
Set up - born into a world where I had no control
One set up leads to another
Too set up to lie to each other
And it's all been a fram
I've got to change my appearance
And get rid of the name
They did it with mirrors
They did it without pain
I was set up and held up and stuffed in a cage
Don't get up and say it was some other mother
I'm sure enough it was you that planted me
Is there anyone out there
Who can change this atmosphere
Set up - every opportunity to make me like them
Set up - born into a world where I had no control
One set up leads to another
Too set up to lie to each other
They did it with mirrors
They did it with teachers
They did it without pain
They couldn't think of a number so they gave me a name
Set up - every opportunity to make me like them
Set up - born into a world where I had no control
One set up leads to another
Too set up to lie to each other
They did it with kindness
They did it with a smile
They did it all with a licence
They did it according to the rules
They did it with good advice
They did it for some reason
They did it

Must we play a game of statues now
Isn't it amazing how many people believe
In some ancient saviour of mankind
A prophet frozen for all times
And the heart of the matter is in your soul
And not in your heart
Not in your heart at all
Ring-a-ring of roses
They've carved so many names
That stand for universal wisdom
And an old underlying love
With sense and fine reason
And the heart of the matter is in your soul
And not in your heart
Not in your heart at all
Searching through strangers eyes
I symbolize what you feel
It's stone this heart. It's a heart that can't be real
These eyes say nothing
They look right through me
And the heart of the matter is in your soul
And not in your heart
Not in your heart at all
And not in your heart
Not in your heart at all
You can play Cupid

While you wait
There's always something
Looming low
Will it show
Your heart is thumping
Halloween without a pumpkin
Halloween
Breeding in the stream
The programmes come the same
Why not the dream
Can I keep on running
Can I keep on running
While you watch
There's always something
Taking sides
Find a clue
In any language
Halloween without a pumpkin
Halloween
Sleeping still they look
No meaner than their eyes
Trick or treat or lies
Can I keep on running
Can I keep on running
It's only surface tension
But break it and we sink
Reach out for the master's mask
The wound is deeper than you think
While you sleep
There could be something
Closing in
You don't know
Could this be london
Halloween without a pumpkin
Halloween
Breathing on the phone
The city creaks alone
They know you're home
Can I keep on running
Can I keep on running
It's only surface tension
But break it and we sink
Reach out for the master's mask

He's scratching at success
Like some poor dog locked in a room
His claws are torn and sore
And still no one will open up the door
The water he drank long ago
And food can't ease the roaring pain
And even as he howls
No one will bring him fame
I told you so many times, my nails are wet
You are the one

It's a reckless world
That lets itself be guided by it's tools
But what our eyes can see we believe
The truth is not for fools
Is there nothing between us but plastic and wire
Will some modern invention prove you a liar
All the time you were saying this is it
It was that
And you didn't get that scratch from the cat
CHORUS:
I'll be stripped to the skin
You'll be stripped to the bone
And we'll all say no to the picture-phone
It was so easy to cheat on a blind line
With an alibi and your image intact
Whatever the number -
Whatever the crime -
Not only the famous will have to resign
And you have come to depend
On your right to pretend you're alone
Would the star of the screen
Ever wish to be seen
Red-eyed and dying through the morning call
And the president's friends
Would they live for long
If they saw down the wire what really goes on
When you're home to relax
Come the facial attacks
And the breathers in masks - oh no!
CHORUS
Is she the girl of your dreams
With her curlers and creams
Another fantasy's blown
And we'll all say no on the picture-phone

Talkin, Talking talkin that way. Chewin tobaccy stained
smile.
Askin, tell me what can I do ?
Nutinjust, Sit down a while.
Whistlin, why'd I whistle this way.
Blackenteeth, full of last year's decay.
SHORTY, why'd you leave me this way?
Nicely, pick up a bone a piece
AN STAY
SHORTY, shorty pick up
a bone
Pick up

You noticed that I closed my eyes again
And smiled in all the silence I have grown in me for
you-ou
But then, what accident of stars brought you so late
into my ar-arms
Where even now another sleep
Here in my heart I know that you and I are one
I wonder if some joker laughs as he looks on
I wonder if some joker laughs as he looks o-o-on
I wonder if some joker laughs as he looks on at all our
misplaced lo-ove
All our misplaced love
You noticed that I turned my head away-ay
And cried for all the goodness I could find deceiving
you-ou
Ah well, how could we know the hand fate chose to be
our guide was tired
Of lover's bliss and holding hands
And deep in my heart I know that you and I are one
I wonder if some joker sighs for what we've do-one
I wonder if some joker sighs for what we've do-one
I wonder if some joker sighs for what we've done with
all our misplaced
All our misplaced lo-ove
I noticed that you touched my soul in time
And lied to stop my leaving
For a place where no one hears
But then what randomness and chance
Could move the mountain from our dreams
Or break the spell upon us now
And though deep in my heart I know you and I are one
I wonder if the joker dies what will become
I wonder if the joker dies what will become
I wonder if the joker dies what will become of all our
misplaced love
All our misplaced love

Remember the cornfields
The radio's dead
How I worried our planes would collide
And we'd never reach
That secret tropical beach
Oh make a wish
And hand me down that clever book
I think I'm falling down...
There's no light on the road
Oh I waited for hours
I wanted to give her flowers
I'll make a wish
I stayed up all night for this
I've said enough
There's no catch
It's take twenty two
Met my match
It's all happened before
A flash reflected in her eye...
How could we say goodbye...
In the heat of the day...
It could have been the end...
Of more than you and me
And didn't you love new york
And the sight of natural green
A sad adventure this has been
But now my mind is new and clean
We'll meet again in another dream
Make a wish for all you've seen
Oh make a wish
Don't hand me down some clever book
There may be time for just one look
We'll have to say it all
With just one look we'll have to say it
There's no light on the road
Oh I waited for hours
I wanted to give her flowers
I'll make a wish
I stayed up all night for this
Make a wish and give up your thinking
Make a wish her body is shrinking
Make a wish the last eye is blinking
Make a wish for water worth drinking

Immunity it's my discovery
Immunity my way of hiding when the truth hurts me
My way of cruising through what won't let me be
It's my discovery
No vexation
No frustration
Least of all no pain or penetration
And no contamination
Immunity it's my discovery
Immunity my way of hiding when the truth hurts me
My way of cruising through what won't let me be
It's my discovery
No sensation
No elation
Processed all my thought communication
I've tamed imagination
Out of reach
But never out of touch
My frozen smile could never be enough
Once I wanted you but love cost me too much
Immunity it's my discovery
Immunity my way of hiding when the truth hurts me
My way of cruising through what won't let me be
It's my discovery
Fake events and discontent
The whole world's bent
On leaving just a monument

I think a man will hang soon
He's hiding in a back room
His morals are confused now
Like walls they're bound to crack soon
The room turns to a corner
His choice is getting smaller
There'll be no need for violence
For years he's thought it out in silence
I think a man will hang soon
Contorted by the full moon
Someone should hide the noose now
This place may make us blind soon
And no one shares his sadness
So it changes into madness
He'll chant throughout his trial
He will be sentenced on arrival
A woman scorned is witness
And they believe her innocence
In sweet revenge she has one need
The ace is safe inside her sleeve
The ace is safe
I think a man will hang soon
His face is not his fortune
I think a man will hang soon
The scent's disguised by perfume
She will accept no rival
The bitch's hand is on the bible
I think a man will hang soon

What is this strange elation?
Taking my train of thought to an unknown destination
And suddenly I don’t know where I am
But like a tremor or a spark
Something’s happening in my heart
I’ve been arrested by you
Take me in, oh, oh, oh
Finally captured by you, by you and by you
Take me in
I’ve been arrested by you
Take me in, oh, oh, oh
Finally captured by you, by you and by you
Take me in
You’ve broken my concentration
Saving me just in time from a desperate situation
And suddenly, I don’t know who I am
But my dilemma’s where to start
Something’s happening in my heart
I’ve been arrested by you
Take me in, oh, oh, oh
Finally captured by you, by you and by you
Take me in
I’ve been arrested by you
Take me in, oh, oh, oh
Finally captured by you, by you and by you
Take me in
I’ve been arrested by you
Take me in, oh, oh, oh
Finally captured by you, by you and by you
Take me in
I’ve been arrested by you
Take me in, oh
Finally captured by you, oh, oh
Take me in
I’ve been captured, captured, captured, captured
Oh, baby
Oh, ho,
Take me baby

Remember darkness
It's full of strangers meeting strangers talking code
Remember voices
Sometimes these voices print out danger
And I am just another stranger
Find another stranger
Who's lost another stranger
Trying not to love you
Trying not to love you...
Remember nonsense
You were its witness while computers searched for fame
Remember judgement
Sometimes the finger points to blame us
Would you believe another stranger
Find another stranger
And name another stranger
Trying not to love you
Going over you with a fine tooth comb
Concentrating on your faults
There's not a single flaw
Just ease my conscience
Remembering how we met
Tease myself with memories
Oh how could I forget
Remember silence
It stores a message of the future you will know
Remember pictures
Sometimes an image comes to trick us
It could be just another stranger
Here's another stranger
Inside another stranger
Remember journeys
They're full of promise taking chances breaking code
Remember places
Sometimes these faces spy like neighbours
And am I just another stranger
Meet another stranger
Who needs another stranger
Who's lost another stranger
Inside another stranger
Nothing's stranger than
Trying not to love you
Trying not to love you

Irgendwann kommt für jeden der Tag
An dem man für alles bezahlt, dann stehn' wir da
Denken, wie schön es mal war
Bereuen unsere Fehler, hätten gern alles anders gemacht
Hätten all unsere Boshaftigkeiten niemals getan
Wir leben versteckt, wischen all unsere Spuren weg
Vor den anderen und vor uns selbst
Damit kein Mensch jemals sieht, wer wir in Wahrheit sind...
Wo ist der Ort für den ehrlichsten Kuss
Ich weiss, dass ich ihn für uns finden muss
Auf 'ner Strasse im Regen, auf 'nem Berg nah beim Mond
Oder kann man ihn nur vom Totenbett holen
Wo ist der Ort für einen ehrlichen Kuss
Den einzigen, den ich Dir noch geben muss...
All denen, die uns am nächsten steh'n, tun wir am liebsten weh
Und die Frage warum das so ist, bleibt unser Leben lang steh'n
Wann ist die Zeit für einen ehrlichen Kuss
Der all unsere Lügen auslöschen muss
Gib' mir die Zeit für einen ehrlichen Kuss
So wollen wir uns küssen, wenigstens am Schluss
Es wird ein Kuss sein, der alles verzeiht
Der alles vergibt und uns beide befreit
Du musst ihn mir schenken - ich bin zwar ein Dieb
