Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark (often abbreviated to OMD or O.M.D. ) are a British New Wave/synthpop group whose founding members are originally from the Wirral Peninsula, England. OMD were originally assimilated in the greater New Wave batch of synthesizer-based acts of the late 1970s/early 1980s.
The group was founded in 1978 by Andy McCluskey and Paul Humphreys who remained, and were perceived as, the core members. Adding sidemen Malcolm Holmes and Martin Cooper by the end of 1980, this quartet (with occasional line-up fluctuations) was the live concert line-up until 1989, when Humphreys, Cooper and Holmes all left OMD to found The Listening Pool. McCluskey then retained the OMD name and continued to record and tour as OMD with new line-ups through 1996.
Although McCluskey essentially retired the OMD name in 1996, shortly thereafter Humphreys began playing live shows as OMD with other musicians on an as-needed basis, but without McCluskey. Then in late December 2005, OMD's official website announced a forthcoming reformation of the "classic" 1980's line-up (Humpheys/McCluskey/Cooper/Holmes), both for live performances and for a new studio album. This reformed quartet began touring in 2007, and further successful sold-out tours took place in 2008 and 2009. OMD's most recent studio album History of Modern was released on 20 September 2010.
I want to go up to Detroit
I want to lie in the shade
I want to visit the president
And then I want to get laid
I want to go down to Memphis
I want to talk to the king
I want to tell him we¡¯re sorry
And it won¡¯t happen again
I¡¯ve got a photo of James Joyce
It¡¯s a photo by Man Roy
It¡¯s not very very much like him
But it¡¯s not for me to say
She sacrifices her body
Almost every night
Just like a lamb to the slaughter
And she thinks it makes him feel right
You gave me so many problems
You made me crash in my car
I¡¯ll have a martini cocktail
And then we¡¯ll see where we are
So just be nice to your brother
I¡¯ll take your sister to bed
And I can bloc bloc bloc till the weekend
But you¡¯d better come back soon
I discovered a big town
On the crest of a wave
Throwing money at strangers
Taking candy from babes
Shaking hands in a big top
As the rain came down
I though it would not stop
Sending letters to paris
From the empire state
Taking pictures from the top
There's alot of things
For you to do
There's alot of dreams
That won't come true
I grew up in a big town
The lessons were not hard to learn
If you want them to love you
Then you must not love them in return
Spent the night at a party
Where I drank so much
I fell under your spell
Eight o'clock in the morning
And the daylight makes me
Look and feel like hell
There's alot of things
For you to do
There's alot of dreams
That won't come true
There's alot of things
For you to do
There's alot of dreams
That won't come true
When you live in a big town
There are sights and sounds
That make you want to cry
When you live in a big town
There are sights and sounds
That make you want to cry
When you live in a big town
There are sights and sounds
That make you want to cry
When you live in a big town
There are sights and sounds
I've seen a new sensation, I heard you call in pain
But running around in circles won't make it right again
The telephone keeps ringing, your head is in the sand
The future is unfolding, but it's not what you had planned
No matter what you do, there's no escape for you
You say, we go too far, you say, I take my car
So, it always ends the same and there's no one else to blame
But I'd die, if you would call my name
Caught between two evils, you should have stayed at home
To wish upon and walk upon a planet of your own
No matter what you do, there's no escape for you
You say, we go too far, you say, I take my car
So, it always ends the same, there's no one else to blame
But I'd die, if you would call my name
Oh, yes, I'd die, if you would call my name
No matter what you do, there's no escape for you
You say, we go too far, you say, I take my car
So, it always ends the same, there's no one else to blame
But I'd die, if you would call my name
Trained bodies in coordination
Is that a better way for bunker soldiers?
But it's a nicer way to spend a war
On lava beaches and sandy seaside
The rusting bodies are surplus now, then
We never taught them how to fight like that
The object's exercise is so compulsive
It's not a better way, but it still suits us
I'd give up rice fields to fight like you
It's not a better way
Though we are here to stay
Well, that might seem okay
Waves of people in strange directions
It's no use talking, there's no decisions
They gave up houses to be refugees
The mud in ditches is over their knees
The sand-bagged trenches are over our heads
This kind of warfare's become hide and seek
Though khaki uniforms are universal
Your propaganda is losing appeal
I'd give up rice fields to fight like you
I'd give up rice fields to fight like you
I'd give up rice fields to fight like you
I'd give up rice fields to fight like you
It's not a better way
Though we are here to stay
Rain, rain, go away
I couldn't take you one more day
There's broken glass here on the floor
And I can't take this anymore
Stay, stay don't leave now
I'll do anything but let you go
My hands are cold, my eyes can't see
You can't do this, not to me
Rain, rain, go away
I can't stand this one more day
I'll close my eyes, I'll shut my brain
I can't stand this fucking rain
I can't stand the rain
As the sun descends too quickly
Behind the distant city
She will ride under the water
She will leave her son and daughter
Reduced to lying naked
To feed those she holds sacred
She is bare of clothes and beauty
On disply in her nudity
If someone calls her name out
All she ever hears are cars
Through the window in the bathroom
Through the broken glass and bars
Seeking comfort in the wallet
Where she placed eighty dollars
When the last one has departed
She can slide into the darkness
And slowly down the river
The current pulls her under
And it bathes her in it's splendor
Is unmoved by her surrender
And faint through the water
The lights like brittle stars
Someone called her name out
She no longer hears the cars
INSTRUMENTAL
[Instrumental]
Say it isn't right
To be alone tonight
So in love with you
Tell you what I'm gonna
Do about it
I had an idea
Based on a love theme
I had an idea
Based on a love theme
All I ever do
Is what you want me to
So in love with you
Tell you what I'm gonna
Do about it
I had an idea
Based on a love theme
I had an idea
Based on a love theme
Say it isn't right
To be alone tonight
So in love with you
Tell you what I'm gonna
Do about it
I had an idea
Based on a love theme
I had an idea
When you know the dollar girl
Is coming home again
Then you know that destiny
Will never be your friend
Her heart is in her pocket
And her head is in your hands
You thought it would be easy
But I guessed she changed your plans
Now you know there's no release
From all the tears she cries
Slowly it seems obvious
She'll love you til she dies
Stay with me now
Til the end of the day
If you stay we can talk
I will hear what you say
If you leave me tonight
While my heart is on fire
Stay with me now
I will be your desire
And when you go the dollar girl
Will justify your care
She burns you with her confidence
And prays that you won't dare
Now you know there's no release
From all the tears she cries
Slowly it seems obvious
She'll love you til she dies
Stay with me now
Til the end of the day
If you stay, we can talk
I will hear what you say
If you leave me tonight
While my heart is on fire
Stay with me now
I will be your desire
Now you know there's no release
From all the tears she cries
Slowly it seems obvious
She'll love you til she dies
Stay with me now
Til the end of the day
If you stay, we can talk
I will hear what you say
If you leave me tonight
While my heart is on fire
Stay with me now
Only tears are meant to fall
Only once and that is all
And when you start to lose the fight
And nothing else will make it right
Only hearts are meant to break
And when you make that last mistake
And everything you tried to say
But all the words got in the way
Only god can hear you now
Only god can hear you now
When you make that final vow
When you make that final vow
Say the words and say them loud
Say the words and say them loud
Say the words that make you proud
Say the words that make you proud
And when you lose someone you depend upon
Only tears will fall
And when you need a friend I will send you one
Only tears are meant to fall
(Only tears will fall)
Only tears are meant to fall
Only tears are meant to fall
Only once and that is all
Only once and that is all
Only tears are meant to fall
Only tears are meant to fall
Only once and that is all
Only once and that is all
Only tears are meant to fall
Only tears are meant to fall
Only once and that is all
Only once and that is all
Only tears are meant to fall
Only tears are meant to fall
Only once and that is all
Born in Kansas on an ordinary plain
Ran to New York but ran away from fame
Only seventeen when all your dreams came true
But all you wanted was someone to undress you
And all the stars you kissed
Could never ease the pain
Still the grace remains
The face has changed and it's still the same
And it's a long long way
From where you want to be
And it's a long long road
But you're too blind to see
Frame of silence
Of an innocence divine
Is a dangerous creation
When you fail the test of time
And all the photographs
Of ghosts of long ago
Still they hurt you so
Won't let you go
And you still don't know
And it's a long long way
From where you want to be
And it's a long long road
But you're too blind to see
When you look around yourself now
Do you recognize the girl?
The one who broke a thousand hearts
Terrified the world
And all the stars you kissed
Could never ease the pain
And if the face has changed
The grace remains and you're still the same
And it's a long long way
From where you want to be
And it's a long long road
But you're too blind to see
And it's a long long way
From where you want to be
And it's a long long road
And you're too blind to see
And it's a long long way
From where you want to be
And it's a long long road
And you're too blind to see
And it's a long long way
From where you want to be
You say that love will capture me
But not unless you give it free
We're sailing on the seven seas
Sister Ray is on TV
The light of love that shines so bright
That the F.B.I. won't sleep tonight
Because I'm so in awe of you
That I don't know what to do
And I'm sailing on the seven seas so blue
Sick and tired, and I don't know why
Skin and bone won't touch the sky
Sex and lies can't bring me down
Because I've sold my soul all over town
And I'm so in awe of you
That I don't know what to do
And I'm sailing on the seven seas so blue
People try and drag us down
So we learn to swim before we drown
'Cause I'm so in awe of you
That I don't know what to do
And I'm sailing on the seven seas so blue
And I'm so in awe of you
That I don't know what to do
Sealand forgets her friends
She'll not leave them again
Mother, sister and home
Red frame white light
Telephone box
Red on grey
Six three two three double 'O' three
Red frame white light
You have a gray book
On a metal shelf
Red frame white light
Numbered calls
Selected places
Red frame white light
Telephone calls
Black and white
Red frame white light
You have a yellow book
With averts
Red frame white light
There is a black lead to a dial and phone
Red frame white light
Six three two three double 'O' three
See these arms that were broken
How they held you so
Never once did they fail you
They won?t let you go
We?re just waiting, looking skyward
As the days come down
Someone promised there?d be answers
If we stayed around
Over decades, now this romance
Has sustained us all
Never questioned, only giving
Unde Praha, Cheskoslovenske Zahranichne Rysivanie.
From the transmitter, to the receiver.
Across the ether, out of your speaker.
Chorus:
Radio waves have life! radio waves have life!
Machines are living too, they're working for me and you!
From the transmitter, to the receiver.
Across the ether, out of your speaker.
To the baltic fleet and atlantic fleet.
Faster than the breeze over stormy seas.
Repeat chorus (2)
Through america to albania.
Over reagan's head, under moscow's bed.
To the warsaw pact and the nato pact.
Down this cul de sac, never turning back.
Repeat chorus
Avoiding this is like avoiding a plague
We can't understand the advances we made
We've tried to resist but it's so hard to say no
We're pretending to see what the future will hold
We appear to be in control of our fate
Just like soldiers believe they're in control of a war
But it's moving so fast we cannot see what we've done
We're losing our eyes just to say that we've won
My mind's made up, my heart is broke
My fortune's is made me and I feel so choked
I can't understand how we could ever believe
The things we asked for but never received
We never understood the times we asked
The way we wasted all that passed
This neglect is final it's a stage we must
Endure to ever hope to see the first
My mind's made up about the things we did
We never saw we believed we couldn't say what we missed
My mind's made up, my heart is broke
My fortune's is made me and I feel so choked
I can't understand how we could ever believe
The things we asked for but never received
By making noises which we cannot control
The things we hoped that we'd never forgo
We appear to be in control of our fate
Just like soldiers believe they're in control of a war
But it's moving so fast we cannot see what we've done
We're losing our eyes just to say that we've won
My mind's made up, my heart is broke
My fortune's is made me and I feel so choked
I can't understand how we could ever believe
The things we asked for but never received
A change of mind has moved around
Takes me back to when we met
Forever moved a promise kept
This all implies I don't believe how this would be for
To be with you
Watching your eyes, I can see it in your eyes
Away go away
To be by your side, I travel all night
Away go away
Concept conceived to let me down
And when you leave I can never make my mind up
We're on the move removed too far
Your way of life, it's only me I'm not deceived at all
To be with you
Watching your eyes, I can see it in your eyes
Away go away
To be by your side, I travel all night
Away go away
So far from me to be the same
I'll try again I'm here alone
I shan't forget I feel this way
And all the time you can dance until we meet again
To be with you
Watching your eyes, I can see it in your eyes
Away go away
To be by your side, I travel all night
Away go away
To be by your side, I travel all night
This is where we start
This now, takes our hearts away
Thus, we reach the end, the beginning and the end
You see, I could not try
And here are you and I
Everything is as it should be
From motion and heart to the scenery
From make do and mend to the new Paris trend
You said that you learnt but it happens again
What's a heart that refuses to be
Fortunes gained lost on the street
I couldn't believe this would happen again
The things you said and I called you my friend
Each time we tried we failed as before
From laissez faire to the knock on the door
But everything is as it should be
When you give your heart to me
From mo, mo, mo, mo, motion and heart
To heart, heart, heart, heart, heart and move
From mo, mo, mo, mo, motion and heart
There's a hole in my head
With my thoughts pouring through
A space in my soul that I'm saving for you
A time made for misery, feelings of shame
Where all of the promises fade just the same
And people will ask you to carry their woe
A pleasure so painful it punishes so
You're tied to their memory, love and their hate,
It's a beautiful burden
The bondage of fate.
When I think of you now and all that we are
I'm frightened of failing and falling so far
The person you wanted is not what I am
I'm sure you imagined a much better man
The vision I cherished was shining and new
All brittle and burnished and rarely like you
I'm tied to your memory, love and your hate,
It's a beautiful burden
The bondage of fate.
I'm tied to your memory, love and your hate,
It's a beautiful burden
We've got to get a message to the stars above
Like radios in heaven hearing just enough
And every single teardrop along the way
We put them in our pockets for a rainy day
But here we are in trouble like we always are
Just praying for a miracle and reaching for stars
We love you, would die for you, we need you every day
We got to get a message to the promised land
Like semaphores in motion so they'll understand
But every single vision that we saw today
We didn't quite believe it in the usual way
Yet here we are in heaven, who could want for more
We always end up getting what we're asking for
We love you, would die for you, we need you every day
We love you, wouldn't leave you, we miss you, far away
It's just another promise like we've heard before
We're never really knowing what we're fighting for
We love you, would die for you, we need you every day
We love you, wouldn't leave you, we miss you, far away
We love you, would die for you, we miss you, far away
Here we come again
Like a message in the pouring rain
And every now and then
I still call your name
Like partners in crime
Every once in a while
The the fishes at sea
It's just the life we lead
We're going up
We're going down again
We're going up
We're going down again
Watch us fall
And time stood still
In a distant town
I know you
I know you much too well
Last year you said
It's time to settle down
Last time I saw you
You were still running around
Going up
Going down again
Watch us fall
Watch us fall
Remember when you said
It's time to settle down
Well last time I saw you
You were still running around
Going up
Going down again
We're going up
We're coming down again
Watch us fall
Watch us fall
Watch us fall
It took a lot of reasoning
Before she got to please him
She made a combination
Of despair and inspiration
A mother and a mistress
A sister to her sisters
A child who hoped her dreams come true
But now she's only stuck with you
At least she has a home to share
A man who comes to do her hair
A garden with a patio
A place to have a barbecue
The envy of her neighbors
Who smile and wave and ask her
If they could live for just a day
In luxury and ecstasy
But it's a long way home
From where she's come
And it's a long way back
Too much to ask
The trash is in the garbage can
The mystery of wonderland
One day she thinks of leaving him
The next she treats him like a king
She hears it on the radio
She sees it on the video
She wait s until the kids have grown
And then she thinks she'll start again
But it's a long way home
From where she's come
And it's a long way back
Too much to ask
Before she gave her friends a ring
She promised almost everything
They ran away to paradise
But everything will have its price
From woman number one
To woman number two
Now she's woman number three
And she thinks that she's lucky
But it's a long way home
From where where's come
And it's a long way back
Too much to ask
From X Y Z
To women III
I?m going to get you

Every bone in your body

That perfect little body

That?s been so close to mine

All that glitters is not gold
So don't believe what you've been told
And take a chance of being strong
'Cause they'll destroy you if you're wrong
Only lovers act this way, you see
Only lovers are so cruel
All your friends are here tonight
Never ones to miss a fight
Their applause for what you've done
Rings in the darkness when they've gone
Only lovers act this way, you see
Only lovers are so cruel
I would die here next to you
I will make your dreams come true
There's so much I had to say
I got lost along the way
All that glitters is not gold
So don't believe what you've been told
Only lovers act this way, you see
Only lovers are so cruel (so cruel)
Only lovers act this way, you see
If Joan of Arc had a heart,
Would she give it as a gift
To such as me who longs to see,
How a legend oughta be
Had dreams to give her heart away,
Like an orphan along the way
She cared so much,
Give me what I want
I need everything I can take
Division of everything
All you have
Principles never worked before
I want everything I can take
Everything I can take
Stop stop going around
With the girl that I love
She's already taken
She's all sewn up
It'll only end in tears
She'll only break your heart
If my fist doesn't get you
Before she tears you apart
Stop stop going places
Where you know that she goes
I've heard all the stories
It's just another pose
You'll only get rejected
Just when you think you've scored
And when you think you've made it
She'll be walking through that door
Every little now
And every little then
Toe to toe with my best friend
Arm in arm in luxury
Heaven knows you won't see me
Again
Well
You'd better be careful
With the things that you say
Your mouth will get you in trouble
One of these days
I know you don't believe me
And I know it seems absurd
But it just goes to show
How little you know that girl
Every little now
And every little then
Toe to toe with my best friend
Arm in arm in luxury
Heaven knows you won't see me
I'd travel, oh so far away
To be where you are
I'd travel there by car away
To be where you are
But if I get there I'd find
That I'd change my mind
It happens all the time
To a friend of mine
Always making statements
And moving step by step
Always acting theories
I will regret
My only consolation
In the things that I've done
Are the people who know me
And the objects I own
Happens all the time
To a friend of mine
Happens all the time
To a friend of mine
Happens all the time
To a friend of mine
[Instrumental]
where we're going
heaven knows
{we're} lost and falling
and it shows
and I know you won't believe me
and I know it won't seem right
and I beg you just to leave me
when we'd argue and we'd fight
but even as we stumble
through the darkness and the light
you know these were
the best years of our lives
sent to hurt me
and you will
tear the seasons
from the hill
and I know you won't believe me
and I know it won't seem right
and I beg you just to leave me
when we'd argue and we'd fight
but even as we stumble
through the darkness and the light
you know these were
the best years of our lives
and I know you won't believe me
and I know it won't seem right
and I beg you just to leave me
when we'd argue and we'd fight
but even as we stumble
through the darkness and the light
you know these were
the best years of our lives
and I know you won't believe me
and I know it won't seem right
and I beg you just to leave me
when we'd argue and we'd fight
but even as we stumble
through the darkness and the light
you know these were
the best years of our lives
Let's move, Let's shake
Let's bleed, Let's fake
Let's go for broke
Let's make mistakes
Let's see, Let's win
Let's pray, Let's cheat
Let's have another dance
Let's watch our feet
Let's die in the arms
Of the girls we love
Let's sell our souls
To the man above
Let's move, Let's go
Let's hop, Let's start
Let's paint the town
Let's break a few hearts
We'll run, We'll shout
We'll thrash, we'll cry
But we'll never grow old
And we'll never die
Lying on a bed
With Apollo in my arms
Doing everything we should
And being killed by her charms
I've got Apollo in my heart
She's tearing me apart
She looks like an angel
Held here in my arms
Though I close my eyes
And I turn away
I'm not letting go
No, not at this stage
Because knowing is only half of it
No matter what they say
And seeing her is believing
From miles and miles away
She's closed her eyes
And she's turned away
She's letting go
And I know she'll say
Let's die in the arms
Of the girls we love
Let's sell our souls
[Instrumental]
If Joan of Arc had a heart,
Would she give it as a gift
To such as me who longs to see,
How a legend oughta be
Had dreams to give her heart away,
Like an orphan along the way
She cared so much,
If you leave, don't leave now
Please don't take my heart away
Promise me, just one more night
Then we'll go our separate ways
We've always had time on our side
Now it's fading fast
Every second, every moment
We've gotta make it last
I touch you once, I touch you twice
I won't let go at any price
I need you now like I need you then
You always said we'd still be friends someday
If you leave I won't cry
I won't waste a single day
But if you leave don't look back
I'll be running the other way
Seven years went under the bridge
Like time was standing still
Heaven knows what happens now
You've gotta say you will
I'll touch you once, I'll touch you twice
I won't let go at any price
I need you now like I need you then
You always said we'd meet again someday
I touch you once, I touch you twice
I won't let go at any price
I need you now like I need you then
You always said we'd meet again someday
If you leave
If you leave
If you leave
Don't look back
To hold you, love you
To see you smile at the break of day
To touch you, know you
Want you by me when you?re far away
It's easy to say but hard to do
When you?re in love with some foolish child
And everybody just can?t understand
They say, ?See him, watch him he will change his mind?
But I see you, want him
You?re always with him when the lights go down
You need him, love him
He promises, he?ll always stay around
It?s easy for me when the daylights here
It?s easy to be happy when I?m in the crowd
But maybe someday I could take his place
I want you, need you, I won?t change my mind
But he holds you, loves you
He has you with him at the break of day
He?ll touch you, know you
Wants you by him when you?re far away
If all these things you say are true
There?s one thing I need to know
Is this love or lies, just a flame or a fire
There?s something I need and only you can help
To hold you, love you
See you smile at the break of day
To touch you, know you
Want you by me when you?re far away
To hold you, love you
Have you with me, when the lights go down
To see you, need you
Across an every ocean
For the sake of locomotion
Across an every ocean
For the sake of locomotion
Across every ocean
For the sake of locomotion
But I wouldn't have a notion
How to save my soul
I walk down the sidewalk
Run down the boardwalk
Stop and make small talk
But I can't say no to you
I can't say no, I can't say yes
I can't even write down my own address
I can't touch Heaven, it's a little too far
It's the only way to travel, got dreaming on a parr
I'm staring through the window
Wonder where you are
Moving through the landscape
At a million miles an hour
Across every nation
From the harbor to the station
It's a form of inspiration
It's a power to the state
They run down the railways
Sail across the seaways
Fly through the airways
But they can't say no to you
I can't stand up, I can't stand still
I know you wouldn't like it if I told you how I feel
I just want to say that it's only common sense
But the words always fail me at my own expense
I'm staring out the window
Wonder where you are
Moving through the landscape
At a million miles an hour
Across every ocean
For the sake of locomotion
But I wouldn't have a notion
How to save my soul
Across every ocean
For the sake of locomotion
But I wouldn't have a notion
How to save my soul
I walk down the sidewalk
Run down the boardwalk
Stop and make small talk
But I can't say no to you
Across an every ocean
For the sake of locomotion
Across an every ocean
For the sake of locomotion
Across an every ocean
For the sake of locomotion
Across an every ocean
For the sake of locomotion
Across an every ocean
For the sake of locomotion
Across an every ocean
For the sake of locomotion
Across an every ocean
For the sake of locomotion
Across an every ocean
For the sake of locomotion
Across an every ocean
For the sake of locomotion
Across an every ocean
La femme accident¡¯s
Got everything you want
You never have to know
She¡¯s hanging on your every word
She clings to your heart
She won¡¯t let you depart
Oh this mine
But she¡¯s with you all the time
She¡¯s crying like a fragile child
But if you get to know her
She¡¯s not a little girl
And if she gets to know you
You can¡¯t escape her world
La femme accident
A woman full of want
Her hearts on the line
You haven¡¯t go the time
She suffers like some Joan of Arc
She says there¡¯s just no justice
in this world
She¡¯s paradise for a day
La femme accident
What reason could you want
Just use her and turn away
La femme accident
Got everything you want
She¡¯s paradise for a day
Once again he's all alone
Here I am the king of stone
Gave away the love he'd know
Just to be the king of stone
The only life he's ever known {the empty world that he'd made his own}
But I don't believe I'm made of stone
Now you've seen me
Now you don't
Can you hear me
Because quite soon you won't
So save your whispers
For some other man
Because I can hear you you
And I know who I am
Once again he's all alone
Here I am the king of stone
Once again he's all alone
Here I am the king of stone
Once again he's all alone
The means to an end, the sinful distress
Writing down meaningless words
As vaguely I've had, so the rest of the band
Can learn from the bees and the birds
Concentrate business man you
You haven't got long, planets are ruling your hearts
Stilettos and thighs may be burning your eyes
But it keeps you from falling apart
Heavy but generalized, sordid and wet
Someone advised me to die
Blowing your mind, 'cause you know what you'll find
When you're looking for things in the sky
Under the influence, rotting our nerves
Cutting us off at the mains
Nearing the end with your grandmother's friend
It's something to do when it rains
It's something to do when it rains
If Joan of Arc
Had a heart
Would she give it as a gift
To such as me
Who longs to see
How an angel ought to be
She seems to give
Her heart away
Like an orphan on the wain
She cared so much
She offered up
Her body to the flames
A little catholic girl
Who¡¯s fallen in love
A face on a page
A gift from above
She should have known better
Than to giver her heart
She should have known better
Than to ever part
Without me
Without me
I gave her everything
That I ever owned
I think she Understood
But she never spoke
She shouldn¡¯t oughta try
To be that way
She shouldn¡¯t have to go there
Ever again
Without me
Without me
Now listen to us good
And listen well
Listen to us all
And everything we tell
We should have known better
Than to giver her away
We should have known better
To this very day
Without me
Without me
Now listen Joan of Arc
All you gotta do
Is say the right words
And I¡¯ll be coming through
Hold you in my arms
And take you
Right away
Now she's on her way
To another land
We never understood
Why she gave her hand
She shouldn't oughta promise
Because it's just pretend
I know she doesn't mean it
And she'll leave again
Without me
Without me
Without me
Without me
The youth and the Imperialist Tribune was also addressed by a young girl
from Nicaragua whose hands had been cut off at the wrists by the former
Samosa guards.
Veronika Merko, of the German Federal Republic, had this to say:
"Also, ich habe eine Ausbildung gemacht als Industriekaufmann und wurde nach der Lehre nicht uebernommen."
(English Translation)
"Well, I had finished my training as an industiral clerk but was not taken up."
Now and then
A little thing gets by
Now and then
we'll cry
Like a fall in a war
Like a mother's open arms
Like a pawn in a game
Hard to take
There we sit in a line
Wasting fortunes at a time
And pray
All the time we are gone
There's no reason
There's no way
Oh the sound is the one
So they say
There we sit on a line
Wasting fortunes at a time
And play
She never thought
He'd be this way
Her arms aloft
She holds
But now it's all a memory
First you say you're in love with me and that it lasts eternally.
Then I find that you change your mind, but one and one will not make three.
Well, I'm glad to say the distance is one thing I never mind.
But every thought of leaving is the last thing on my mind.
So if you're still in love with me then why won't you just set me free?
Cause if I'm not in love with you then there's no chance to see this through
again.
Everything that I've promised you,
I tried and tried to make it all come true.
But if I break your heart again, well this time it'll never mend.
When I beg for freedom, you only chain me down.
With everyday that passes now, the answer can't be found.
So if you're still in love with me then why won't you just set me free?
Cause if I'm not in love with you then there's no chance to see this through
again.
All across the nation.
People in frustration.
There's those who need someone to stay.
And those who've got to run away.
So if you're still in love with me then why won't you just set me free?
Cause if I'm not in love with you then there's no chance to see this through
again.
So if you're still in love with me then why won't you just set me free?
Cause if I'm not in love with you then there's no chance to see this through
If you were born in heaven girl
I'd understand so well
But ever since I've met you child
You've made my life such hell
With every day that passes
I fall nearer to the ground
It seems that I've been looking for
Something that won't be found
I was only Dreaming
I was only trying to catch your eye
I was only wishing you would notice me
Instead you said goodbye
Could this be the new answer then
To all the dreams we've made
Could there be some solution please
To rid me of this grace
But every single second that you held me in your arms
You build me up
You raise me up
You kill me with your charms
Refrain
Would you stay with me tonight
Won't you make these feelings last
Can we start this all again
Would that be just to much to ask
Everyday
I'm on my knees to pray
Since I kissed you once
And I held you once
Things have never been the same
And I've tried
God knows I've tried
But there's nothing left
In the world today
That's making sense in any way
Even now, I'm in love with you
No matter what you put me through
There'll always be someone like you
Who lets me down again
But every time
I've tried to make you mine
It seems there's nothing else
I will ever find
That will make you stay
Make you change your mind
Sad to say
It's the same thing everyday
But there's no one else
In the world today
That will make it change
Take the pain away
Even now, I'm in love with you
No matter what you put me through
There'll always be someone like you
Who lets me down again
And everyday no matter what I do
I'm more and more in love with you
I can't believe it's really true
[Incomprehensible]
There's a flame of hope
Burning in my heart
And there's a strange emotion
Tearing me apart
'Cause I know, I know
'Cause I know
There's a flame of hope
Calling out your name
When my arms embrace you
It extinguishes the flame
'Cause I know, I know
'Cause I know
I never wanted another
Come over to me and discover
How I want to be near you
And you need to be far away
You always seem to make me feel at home
Hey you
People like
I never knew, I never knew, I never knew why
You make me wanna cry
I never knew, I never knew, I never knew why
Forever live and die
I look at all of the people
Doing it over and over
You never get any older
I wish that you could be here
I look at you and I
Make the same mistakes
Hey you
People like
I never knew, I never knew, I never knew why
You make me wanna cry
I never knew, I never knew, I never knew why
Forever Live and Die
I never knew, I never knew, I never knew why
You make me wanna cry
I never knew, I never knew, I never knew why
Forever Live and Die

Efficiant, logical, effective, and practical.
Using all resorces to the best of our ability.
Changing, designing, adapting our mentalities.
Improving our abilities for a better way of life.
CHORUS:
Babies. Mother. Hospital. Scissors.
Creature. Judgement. Butcher. Engineer.
These are the little children, the future in our hands.
When all God's children on this Earth inherit all our plans.
These are the lies they tell us. But this is the only way.
When all God's children on the Earth will evermore be saved.
REPEAT CHORUS (2)
These are the little children, the future in our hands.
When all God's children on this Earth inherit all our plans.
These are the lies they tell us. The future's good as sold.
In all the things we do and know, we really must be told.
Well
Here we are again
Too good to be friends
Forever, forever, forever
Well
Look at what we've done
Three
Three rolled into one
Together, together, together
How can this be true
We thought that we knew you
Forever, forever, forever
We will watch the morning star
Rising home over Georgia
Dancing in the ruins of the western world

What I say is what I know
And all I can say is all I?ve seen
Nobody knows as well as me
Safety in numbers is just what it seems
It?s been a hard, hard day
In my life
It?s been a hard, hard day
For me
All I know is all I?ve seen
All of the faces
Are where I've been
It?s been a hard, hard day
In my life
It?s been a hard, hard day
For me
And when I walk
I walk the walk of a tired man
Talk, I talk about nothing at all
And when I see
I say it?s hard to explain what I mean
And when I walk
I walk the walk of a tired man
Talk, I talk about nothing at all
See, I say it?s hard to explain
What I mean to say
All I know is all I've seen
What I say is what I mean
How can I explain what I know
All I know is all I've seen
And when I walk
I walk the walk of a tired man
Talk, I talk about nothing at all
And when I see
I say it?s hard to explain what I mean
When I walk
I walk the walk of a tired man
See I say nothing at all
Talk, I talk about nothing that's all I do
It?s been a hard, hard day
For me
It?s been such a hard day
For me
It?s been a hard, hard day
In my life
But it?s not a day
Heaven is a woman
Dressed in blue
And heaven is knowing
Someone who is in love with you
Heaven is a television
Left on all day
And heaven is making love
And then running away
Heaven is
Heaven is
Heaven is believing
What your eyes don't see
And heaven is christy canyon
Falling in love with me
Heaven in waking up
To be a millionaire
And heaven is spending the whole next day
Just walking on air
Heaven is
Heaven is
Heaven is
Heaven is
All these things you say and do
It doesn't mean that much to you
But all these things you said to me
The memories won't set me free
Heaven is a dream
When it won't come true
And heaven is the sky
When it's always blue
Heaven is the girl
With short black hair
And heaven is a woman
With enough to spare
Heaven is
Heaven is
Heaven is
Heaven is
Heaven is
And heaven is taking a holiday
And heaven is having you here to stay
And heaven is never ever saying sorry
And heaven is as easy as abc
And heaven is your eyes when they're always blue
And heaven is just right here with you
Heaven is
Heaven is
Our one source of energy
The ultimate discovery
Electric blue for me
Never more to be free
Electricity
Nuclear and HEP
Carbon fuels from the sea
Wasted electricity
Our one source of energy
Electricity
All we need to live today
A gift for man to throw away
The chance to change has nearly gone
The alternative is only one
The final source of energy
Solar electricity
Electricity
Electricity

Enola Gay
You should have stayed at home yesterday
Ah-ha words can't describe
The feeling and the way you lied
These games you play
They're going to end in more than tears some day
Ah-ha Enola Gay
It shouldn't ever have to end this way
It's eight fifteen
And that's the time that it's always been
We got your message on the radio
Conditions normal and you're coming home
Enola Gay
Is mother proud of little boy today
Ah-ha this kiss you give
It's never ever going to fade away
Enola Gay
It shouldn't ever have to end this way
Ah-ha Enola Gay
It shouldn't fade in our dreams away
It's eight fifteen
And that's the time that it's always been
We got your message on the radio
Conditions normal and you're coming home
Enola Gay
Is mother proud of little boy today
Ah-ha this kiss you give
You say you gotta go now
Well, that's okay
Run away
Like some lost child
You say, I never cared much
That's no lie
Run away
Don't waste your time
You never listen
You never did
But before you walk away
There's just one thing, I've got to say
Stay
Why won't you stay?
Run away
Like some black rose
You say, I never loved you
So you're taking sides
But when there seems no reason
It's just jealousy and pride
You never listen
Oh, you never did
But before you walk away
There's just one thing, I've got to say
Stay
Why won't you stay?
Run away
Like some black rose
But before you walk away
There's just one thing, I've got to say
Stay
Why won't you stay?
Run away
Like some black rose
Stay
Why won't you stay?
Run away
Like some black rose
Stay
Why won't you stay?
Run away
Like some black rose
Kisses over oceans
Like scarlet colored knives
The Universal Wheel
That dominates our lives
Kisses over oceans
Like scarlet colored knives
The Universal Wheel
I have walked down this road you call love
It is hard and it's shallow stony ground
I have built with these hands some great fortune
But my heart still beats a hollow sound
Oh yea, still now my tears remain
With all my dreams embraced
I am told there is peace drawn from wisdom
but no rest only answers have I found
Oh yea, still now my tears remain
Those girls are laughing now
They take my breath away
And all these dreams I'ce had
Come back to me
The light is never on
They haven't fixed it yet
But catholic girls, they never fear
They grew up with that
Those girls are always dreaming
They need your sympathy
Their vision's fading now
Changing by degree
So take me away
Life is never this strange
Counting your blessings
When you're out of rain
Those girls are laughing now
They take my breath away
In all these dreams I've had
the dead girls say
Counting our blessings like an extra day
We turn and walk away
Counting our blessings like an extra day
We prayed you wouldn't stay
The dead girls never care
They never were that way
The dead girls never peak
My mind is made up, I'm changing faster
Your mind is made up, avoiding worries
My old image is set to fade away
Forget the talking, forget the actions
And quiet voices and all that happened
In just one off hour, you could knock me down
The twos are one now and ones are fuller
No longer giving, no longer taking
These ways are tried, they never seem to fail
And when you're asking, you sound like telling
Despite the question, you're not receiving
I can't explain, why you disappear
Your mind is made up, the time is taken
You reach decisions, we can't avoid them
There's no success, no matter what we do
The twos are ones now and ones are fuller
No longer giving, no longer taking
These ways are tried, they never seem to fail
These ways are tried, they never seem to fail
These ways are tried, they never seem to fail
These ways are tried, they never seem to fail
There's a painting on the wall
That wasn't there at all
Ten minutes ago
There's a girl who walks the line
She's with you all the time
She won't let go
And I can't see me with another girl
As everything slows down across the world
The lights are going out
One by one
Across the world
With faces turning sown
The night will hide the sound
She comes to you
And I can't see me with another girl
As everything slows down across the world
In a harbor safe from storm
She waits for darkened forms
She's seen you there
And time and time again
You hear her call your name
She calls for you
And I can't see me with another girl
As everything slows down across the world
The lights are gong out
One by one
Across the world
The lights are going out
One by one
Across the world
The more I see you
The more I want you
Somehow this feeling
Just grows and grows
With every sigh I become
More mad about you
More lost without you
And so it goes
Can you imagine
How much I love you
The more I see you
As years go by
I know the only one for me
Can only be you
My arms won't free you
And my heart won't try
Each time I look at you
Is like the first time
Each time you're near me
The thrill is new
And there is not a single thing I wouldn't do for
The rare delight of the sight of you
And there is not one single thing
I wouldn't do for
The rare delight of the sight of you
And the more I see you
The more I see you
The more I see you
The more I see you
The more I see you
The more I see you
The more I see you
The more I see you
And the more I see you
The more I see you
The more I see you
The more I see you
The more I see you
Everyday
Well, we know where the true one lies
And you can't say, it's our imagination
Just because we cannot find the proof
We've shared this thought for some considerable time
It's increasingly unlike the rest
For as we get older, we've become less aware
Security lies at the heart of our lives
Attaching ourselves to ourselves
We're extinguished but we're still alive
Misunderstood, but our intention is good
We were not questioned on our replies
It does you no good, though you think that it should
And it would given half a chance
If there's compassion in your hearts
Now that you've seen enough
We've given of our best, for God's sake you know
Please, please, please, please, please, please, please
Please can we go home, is this the time or place to say goodbye?
Regardless, I'll find my final cue
The pacific age
Is growing strong
It's arm's embrace witth a killing grace
It shakes your hand as it takes your place
The modern age
Like a slow revenge
A wave that breaks over distant shores
It begs for mercy
And it take some more and more and more
The pacific age
Comes down like rain
Washing over us again and again
It's spreading west
Like a speeding train
As the wheels slow down and we lose the game
The pacific age
Tells no lies
A dream that calls like an open door
It keeps you hoping
And it takes some more and more and more
The pacific age
Comes down like rain
Washing over us again and again
It's spreading west
Like a speeding train
As the wheels slow down and we lose the game
The pacific age
Comes down like rain
Washing over us again and again
It's spreading west
Like a speeding train
As the wheels slow down and we lose the game
The pacific age
Has no regrets
It feeds on dreams
It wins it's bets
A new dawn breaks from east to west
And the plans we made stop making sense
The pacific age
It calls your name
It bites you hand, you feel no pain
And racing home. you run in vane
As your heart slows down and you lose the game
This is the room, this is the wall
This is the body I've been hoping for
These are the words I've been longing just to say
So this is my goal, the end of my life
This is the feeling that won't be amassed
Oh my God, what have I done this time?
Oh my God, what have I done this time?
The things that you find, the tug at the sky
The feeling, the longing, the very repine
Oh my God, what have we done this time?
I didn't want to see you
Not when you're at your best
And talk about the weather
I couldn't pass the test
So many things I do, so many things I say
Give you the wrong idea
So many things I do, so many things I say
Just make a fool of me
Then you turn away
Then you turn away
I couldn't help but call you
I waited almost all the week
I didn't want to hear you
Laughing aloud at me
So many things I do, so many things I say
Give you the wrong idea
So many things I do, so many things I say
Just make a fool of me
Then you turn away
Then you turn away
There's people saying that it's obvious
That I'm wasting my time on you
And people saying that it's obvious
That I've fallen in love, it's not true
So many things I do, so many things I say
Give you the wrong idea
So many things I do, so many things I say
Just make a fool of me
Then you turn away
The Autumn leaves were falling
As we raced against the sun
And all but friends stop calling
They assumed the race was run
And no one here can understand or reason
What we¡¯ve done
We can¡¯t provide the answer
But we can provide the gun
It always looked so easy
When we watched it while we¡¯re young
We always found a reason
To be cheerful having fun
Don¡¯t blame the moon
Don¡¯t blame the sun
Just tell me everything will be done
Don¡¯t blame the stars from up above
Just tell me everything is done for love
The energy of arrogance
Is wasted on the young
The power of all the thoughts
We have is greater than the sum
Don¡¯t believe your brothers
They will break you one by one
Don¡¯t believe your daughters
They will never bear you sons
*Repeat Chorus
It always seemed so easy
When we watched it while we¡¯re young
We always found a reason to be cheerful having fun
Don¡¯t blame the moon
Don¡¯t blame the sun
Just tell me everything will be done
Don¡¯t blame the stars from up above
Just tell me everything is done for love
Chorus:
I've got a telegraph in my hand.
Words on paper, written in sand.
We've got telegraph, right across this land.
It doesn't mean a damn thing.
We don't understand.
But who needs telegraph anyway?
Repeat chorus
We've got telegraph, right across this land.
It doesn't mean a damn thing.
We don't understand, we never understand!
God's got a telegraph nn his side.
It makes him powerful, gives him pride.
Even in america, God bless america!
They understand the value of the telegraph.
Hand in hand, hand in hand...
If all the things you said were right
How come you can't go hame at night
Your frightened on your own
Scared to be alone
In your head
Not at home
And all the things you say and do
Won't take the fear away from you
And so you're once again tonight
Just praying for light
When thoughts that haunt you so
Will slowly let you go
And once again the dread
Is burning in you head
You try but can't let go
This pain that kills you so
If all the things you say were true
Why can't you start this game anew
It's nothing that was said it's only in your head
But the dread,
oh god a dread
And all the things you say and do
Won't take the fear away from you
And so you're once again tonight
Just praying for light
When thoughts that haunt you so
Will slowly let you go
And once again the dread
Is burning in you head
You try but can't let go
Music for your tape recorder.
I hope you will enjoy it.
Extra, extra...
This is Helena, this is Helena.
Extra, extra...
This is Helena, your M.C. today.
Have you heard about the hollow man?
Too frightened so he turned and ran, from the vision that he cherished so.
Couldn't see it, so he let it go.
Everybody has a secret sin.
But everybody needs a chance to win.
Anyone could see I'm a man that's sad and broken by the things I've done.
But now I'm sorry that I said goodbye.
And I'm sorry cause it's me that's crying.
I never finished what I started to, but I'm just so sorry that I'm hurting you.
But it's too late for us to just be friends.
And too late for anything but the end.
And too many dreams fell through our hands.
And it's just too late to understand.
Now I'll never make a new beginning,
And I'll never stop the pain from winning.
Nothing matters to me anymore now.
I've lost the things I was fighting for.
And now I'm sorry that the dreams are gone,
And I'm sorry cause I'm not the
One who comes running when you need me so,
Cause I'm the fool that's let you go.
But it's too late for us to just be friends.
And too late for anything but the end.
And too many dreams fell through our hands.
And it's just too late to understand.
All the tears of pain are falling down, (oh, oh, oh, oh).
All the tears of pain are falling down, and you know...
But it's too late for us to just be friends.
And too late for anything but the end.
And too many dreams fell through our hands.
And it's just too late to understand.
But it's too late for us to just be friends.
And too late for anything but the end.
And too many dreams fell through our hands.
And it's just too late to understand.
But it's too late...too late...it's too late...
I'm very close to far away
And I can't hear the words you say
So take what you can take what you find
Take it all into your mind
I'm very close to letting go
Even closer than you know
I need what you have need what you give
I need your love to make me live
So talk to me now talk to me slow
Say the words I told you so
I know you don't believe me
Or all the things I say
But if you'd just receive me
We're very close to far away
I'm very close to far away
And I can't hear the words you say
So take what you can take what you find
Take it all into your mind
I know you don't believe me
Or all the things I say
But if you'd just receive me
We're very close to far away
I'm very close to far away
And I can't hear the words you say
I need what you have need what you give
I need your love to make me live
I'm very close to letting go
Even closer than you know
So take what you can
Take what you find
Come take me down to your heart of gold, and I will hear your song.
Cover me up in your fantasy world, where I can do you no harm.
And hold me now close to you.
Fear the thoughts I am sending.
Hold me now close again.
This dream is almost ending.
Come take me down to your victory waltz, and I will break your heart.
Gaze once again at the promise we made, that I have torn all apart.
And hold me now close to you.
As though we're still pretending.
Hold me now close again.
It doesn't matter if you're black or white
Or the god that you choose to pray to
It doesn't matter about the clothes you wear
Or which creator made you
We all bleed the same blood
We all need the same love
And when we die there's no heaven above
It's Universal, It's Universal
It doesn't matter who you think you are
You're living and you know you feel it
It's not important as to why we're here
You know there is no reason
We all bleed the same blood
We all need the same love
And when we die there's no heaven above
It's Universal, It's Universal
It's Universal, It's Universal
We all bleed the same blood
We all need the same love
And when we die there's no heaven above
It's Universal, It's Universal
According to Andy McCluskey, there are NO LYRICS to this song, he purposely sang in a mumbled voice because he culd not come up with any lyrics that would work for the track. The band laid the track first, liked it, but Andy couldn't put words to it, so he just mumbled a bunch of stuff that sounded good and they kept it on the track!!!
When I was only seventeen
My head was full of brilliant dreams
My heart would call and I would glady go
At twenty one the world was mine
And I was yours and you're divine
And nothing else would matter to us so
I don't believe in destiny
I don't believe in love
I don't believe that anything
Will ever be enough
Man you should have seen us
On the way to venus
Walking on the milky way
It was quite a day hey hey...
Walking on the big stuff
Acting like we're real tough
Baby we were on our way
So what do you say hey hey...
As time goes by reality
Destroys your hope and dignity
There's nothing left but shadows on the wall
But just remember who you are
And where you've been you've come so far
And never ever let them see you fall
I don't believe in miracles
I don't believe in truth
I don't believe that anything
Can recreate your youth
Man you should have seen us
On the way to venus
Walking on the milky way
It was quite a day hey hey...
Walking on the big stuff
Acting like we're real tough
Baby we were on our way
So what do you say hey hey...
Was it something I said or something you read
That's changing your mind, that's turnin' you around?
Was somebody wrong or somebody right
What was it made up your mind, what could change overnight?
And if all of your friends they used to be mine
Come down off the fence, I'd swear that you'll find
I can hate you no more, I can't even the score
Almost half of my life just fell right on the floor
Don't you come 'round here no more
Don't you waste my time
Don't you dare to phone me
Don't you even have me on your mind
Was there someone you know who won't let you go?
They're pushing you under and bleeding you slow
They don't want your time, they won't give you mine
Their hand's in your pocket and your heart's on the line
I know I'm not perfect, I wanted to be
I have this big mouth, it always contradicts me
You say you don't know, I say anything goes
Baby, you think it's over then this you should know
Don't you come 'round here no more
Don't you waste my time
Don't you dare to phone me
Don't you even have me on your mind
Was it something I said or something you read
That's changing your mind, that's turnin' you around?
Was somebody wrong or somebody right
What was it made up your mind, what could change overnight?
Was it something I said or something you read
That's changing your mind, that's turnin' you around?
Was somebody wrong or somebody right
What was it made up your mind, what could change overnight?
Was it something I said or something you read
That's changing your mind, that's turnin' you around?
Was somebody wrong or somebody right
What was it made up your mind, what could change overnight?
Was it something I said or something you read
Can't wait to see you
Say black is white
Can't wait to hear you
Tell me lies
Say it with flowers
But I'd swallow too much pride
Stop counting the hours
'Til I'm right there by your side
(Walk tall) I'll never crawl to you
(Walk tall) not if you beg me to
Wishing and hoping
to see the light
Waiting and praying
It'll be alright
Remember the days we spent
Just lying on your bed
Remember how crazy we went
Right out of our heads
(Walk tall) I'll never crawl to you
(Walk tall) not if you beg me to
(Walk tall) I'll never crawl to you
(Walk tall) not if you beg me to
(Walk tall) I'll never crawl to you
(Walk tall) not if you beg me to
(Walk tall) I'll never crawl to you
The mood I'm in
I can't explain
Is black and white
Much worse than pain
The fear of this
Se clear tonight
Is next to me
But not exactly
It's obvious
So plain to see
That I'm not as dumb as
You'd like me to be
I'll take my chance
On your will tonight
But I won't fall off
So don't act tough, it's not enough
No footsteps on the stair tonight
No cigarettes for me to light
No heavy scented clothes
To fall to the floor
But I'll hear you calling when you're not there
You're walking on air
Don't shame me now
Just let me down
'Cause I've bled enough
To paint this town
From East to West, North to South
The leeches crawl from hand to mouth
And now my strength
Is almost out, it's running out
No footsteps on the stair tonight
No cigarettes for me to light
No heavy scented clothes
To fall to the floor
But I'll hear you calling when you're not there
You're walking on air
No footsteps on the stair tonight
No cigarettes for me to light
No heavy scented clothes
To fall to the floor
But I'll hear you calling when you're not there
You're walking on
You're walking on
Well
Here we are again
Too
Too good to be friends
Forever, forever, forever
Well
Look at what we've done
Three
Three rolled into one
Together, together, together
So
How can this be true
We
We thought that we knew you
Forever, forever, forever
We will watch the morning star
Rising home over Georgia
Dancing in the ruins of the western world
Blindfolds on and we don't care
The boys saw the girl
did the girls see the boy
Vertigo in Paris
on the 7th of July
coast to coast
long distance call
over the hills
and far away
a crashing in our hand
it's like a hammer in our heads
it's a felling in our hearts
it's a message in a stance?
a promise is a promise and though a
promise is a promise
shhh, 2 minutes silence
gonna take u out tonight
the boys saw the girl
did the girl see the boy
these things won't come too fast
they're gettin faster now
with arms like a chameleon
she changes with her jewelry
she stood beside his car
but refused to take a ride
the boy saw the girl
and the girl saw the boy
they gave each other objects
to remind them of that night
was it something that they said
that always turns out right
shhhh, two minutes silence
he's taking her out tonight
he's taking her out tonight
it all turns out all right
[sample 1:]
Gentlemen, may I have your attention please?
[sample 2:]
There's stuff coming back at you all the time!
[sample 3:]
You have to do it and do it together, do it and do it
together
[sample 2]
[sample 3]
Burning, burning
Destiny comes knocking on your door
Takes you were the money meets the floor
Jealousy comes creeping up on you
And make you do those things that you hate to do
[chorus 1:]
Yes I'm burning
She won't get away
(Burning) 'cause I'm here to say
She's coming back
And it's a fact
She's here to stay
Everybody wants a piece of you
And charity begins at the age of two
So baby, baby, baby, shut your door
'Cause I won't leave you on this killing floor
[chorus 2:]
'Cause I'm burning
She won't get away
(Burning) 'cause I'm here to say
She's coming back
And it's a fact
She's here to stay
[sample 4:]
Hello. Yes, you're on the air
[sample 5:]
Hello?
[lots of jumbled repetitions of parts of samples 4 and
5]
Burning, Burning
Burning, Burning
[chorus 2]
Every thing you say
Every thing you do
All the things you owe
All the things you knew
Every one you love
Every one you hate
All will be erased
And replaced
Every thing you take
Every thing you gave
All the things you found
All the things you made
Every one you lost
and saved
Nothing will remain
Cradle or grave
Every precious child
and every mother's kiss
All that went before
All that follow this
Every moment shared
Hour of the day
No record will remain
All will fade away
Every dream you had
and every battle won
All the hopes and fears
Bombs and guns
Fear is lies
Planted in son
All is erased
Another has begun
There will be no song
When the final voice is gone
There will be no song
When the final voice is gone
There will be no song
When the final voice is gone
Every thing you say
Every thing you do
All the things you owe
All the things you knew
Every one you love
Every one you hate
All will be erased
And replaced
(There)
Every thing you take
Every thing you gave
(will be no song)
All the things you found
All the things you made
(When the final)
Every one you lost
and saved
(voice is gone)
Nothing will remain
Cradle or grave
(There)
Every dream you had
and every battle won
(will be no song)
All the hopes and fears (will be no song)
Bombs and guns
(When the final)
Fear is lies
Planted in son
(voice is gone)
All is erased (voice is gone)
There's no time for theory
And there's no time for tears
There's no point in trying
We've wasted all these years
And there's no way of knowing
If this pain will ever fade
And there is no denying that this is what we've made
Take a look at yourself
And walk to the edge
And take a deep breath
And be someone else
Take a look at yourself
And see what is found
Step, into the light
Onto new holy ground
There's no hope for saviour
And there's no escape from sin
We must now abandon
The people that we've been
So, take a look at yourself
And walk to the edge
And take a deep breath
And be someone else
Take a look at yourself
And see what is found
Step, into the light
Onto new holy ground
Take a look at yourself
Walk to the edge
And take a deep breath
And be someone else
Take a look at yourself
See what is found
Step, into the light
One by one the walls come down
Spread the word all over town
Kicking screaming like I'll drown
Can't you see I'm fallin
I want you, do you want me
What's it take to make you see
Like bomb that ticking endlessly
Can't you hear me calling
Will you, won't you, come with me
Wishin hoping that you'll see.
If you want it, it will come
Through the rain and burning sun
Over hills and far away
Nothing stops this, not today
Take a chance on me tonight
Baby it'll be alright
Nothing ventured, nothing gained
Nothing lost but all the tears and pain
Give me all you've got to give
Live the life you want to live
No point thinking about "what if?"
Come on. Make my day
Tell me what I need to know
If you don't want this then I'll go
Insane but I won't let it show
Don't let me walk away
Will you, won't you, come with me
Wishing hoping that you'll see.
If you want it, it will come
Through the rain and burning sun
Over hills and far away
Nothing stops this, not today
Take a chance on me tonight
Baby it'll be alright
Nothing ventured, nothing gained
Nothing lost but all the tears and pain
If I could make you start to understand
If I could only make you see
What this all means to me
Let it in inside your heart
Set your mind and spirit free
Show me
If you want it, it will come,
Through the rain and burning sun
Over hills and far away
Nothing stops this, not today
Take a chance on me tonight
Baby it'll be alright
Nothing ventured, nothing gained
Nothing lost but all the tears and pain
I never wanted another
Come over to me and discover
I want to be near you
And you need to be far away
You always seem to make
me feel at home
People I know
I never know, I never
know, I never know, I
never know why
You make me want to cry
I never know, I never
know, I never know, I
never know why
Forever live and die
I look at all of the people
Doing it over and over
You never get any older
I wish that you could be nearer
I look at you and I make
the same mistakes.
Hey.
People I know
I never know, I never
know, I never know, I
never know why
You make me want to cry
I never know, I never
know, I never know, I
never know why
Forever live and die
I never know, I never
know, I never know, I
never know why
You make me want to cry
I never know, I never
know, I never know, I
never know why
Forever live and die
I never know, I never
know, I never know, I
never know why
You make me want to cry
I never know, I never
know, I never know, I
never know why
Let me take you with me to city by the sea
The night is just falling, there's people on the street
He's standing at the station prepared to leave the town
She's lying in the bedroom, it feels like she will drown.
(Which is the right side? Which is the right side?)
Let me take you with me to a city by the sea
The lights are still shining, it's raining on the street
He's moving as its falling, he tries to use the phone
She's lying in the bedroom, she never felt so alone.
(Which is the right side? Which is the right side?)
Come with me he's saying.
Stay with me she's praying.
Let me take you with me to a city by the sea
You have to choose the right side so which one will you pick
The boy his heart is broken, the girl in misery
You have to choose the right side, it's just not that easy.
(Which is the right side? Which is the right side?)
Come with me he's saying.
Stay with me she's praying.
Come with me he's saying.
Stay with me she's praying.
(Which is the right side? Which is the right side?)
(Which is the right side? Which is the right side?)
Come with me he's saying
(Which is the right side? Which is the right side?)
Stay with me she's praying
(Which is the right side? Which is the right side?)
Come with me (Which is the right side?)
Come with me (Which is the right side?)
Come with me (Which is the right side?)
Come with me (Which is the right side?)
He's saying (Which is the right side?)
(Which is the right side?)
(Which is the right side?)
Talking loud and clear
Saying just what we feel
Lying in the grass
With the sun on our backs
It doesn't really matter
What we do or what we say
With every little movement
We give ourselves away
Opposite and opposite
Decisions are reversed
Facing one another
With words that couldn't hurt
With every little word
You're getting closer to me
Talking loud and clear
Saying just what you feel today
Talking loud and clear
Saying just what we feel
Lying in the grass
We've got time on our hands
Body next to body
With silence all around
We understand each other
But didn't make a sound
Promises and promises
Of vows we shall return
Facing one another
I thought my heart would burn
You turn to move away
But then get closer to me
Talking loud and clear
She walks real slow
Talks like an animal
What am I
Supposed to do?
I've tried to explain
My heart's not a radio
But I can't seem
To get to you
Face to face
Tears on a heart of stone
When she talks
I walk away
It seems to me
It's just a waste of time
These are words
I know she's heard before
She's the girl
Guess I'll always know
And I've tried
I've tried
She always seems to know
The morning after
But not before
I haven't slept
Worrying
I know I promised
To come see you
But now I have these
Things to do
All in all
It seems to me
You don't understand
Subtlety
Shall I make it obvious
Do you really want me to make up?
She walks real slow
Like an animal
What am I
Supposed to do?
Her bedroom talk
Cuts like a razor blade
Every test
To put me through
She doesn't talk
For days and days
And when she does
She always says
That I act real slow
Behave like an animal
What am I
Supposed to do?
And I've tried
I've tried
I just can't let her go
And I've tried
I've tried
But she always seems to know
We don't make sense
Love and violence
We don't make sense
Love and violence
We don't make sense
Love and violence
We don't make sense
The autumn leaves were falling
As we raced against the sun
And all but friends stop calling
They assumed the race was run
And no one here can understand or reason
What we've done
We can't provide the answer
But we can provide the gun
It always looked so easy
When we watched it while we're young
We always found a reason
To be cheerful having fun
Don't blame the moon
Don't blame the sun
Just tell me everything will be done
Don't blame the stars from up above
Just tell me everything is done for love
The energy of arrogance
Is wasted on the young
The power of all the thoughts
We have is greater than the sum
Don't believe your brothers
They will break you one by one
Don't believe your daughters
They will never bear you sons
*repeat chorus
It always seemed so easy
When we watched it while we're young
We always found a reason to be cheerful having fun
Don't blame the moon
Don't blame the sun
Just tell me everything will be done
Don't blame the stars from up above
If there's one thing I know
Things are gonna change
There's gonna be a different ending
Though I'm not one to complain
But there's never been a right time
And we've never been too far
But you're the only single reason I know
That's holding back my heart
Take your kiss from my mouth
Take your heart from my heart
This will never happen again
You know that your promises
Won't last for one day
God knows it's a shame
But it's always the way
And the second time
Just wouldn't be the same
But you're changing with your faces and
You're gonna be lost again
If you're with or without me
I've made up my mind
Well I'm hpoping and praying
But you're running out of time
Take your kiss from my mouth
Take your heart from my heart
this will never happen again
You know that your promises
Won't last for one day
God knows it's a shame
But it's always the way
Take your kiss from my mouth
Take your heart from my heart
This will never happen again
You know that your promises
Won't last for one day
God knows it's a shame
But it's always the way
God know it's a shame
But it's always the way
God know it's a shame
Secret
Secret
I've got a secret and I can't explain
All the time I've waited for this day
All along I was never in doubt
I always knew it would never get out
There are things that I cannot tell
And there are things that you know damn well
This is getting very hard for me
I guess you'd better just wait and see
This is all
This is all
Secret
You heard a message and the message was clear
All the time you wipe away that tear
All I want is to hold your hand
To see the sun and walk the sand
You make me sad and you make me glad
And now you see all my secret is this love
Is love, is love
My secret is this love
Everyday you're always there
You comfort me and make me feel it's worth my while
And then I look around and you're not there
And everyday you say you care and I'll beware
Secret
This is all
This is all
I've got a secret and I can't explain
(This is all)
(Secret)
All I want is to hold your hand
(This is all)
All along I was never in doubt
(This is all)
(Secret)
To see the sun and to walk the sand
(This is all)
(Secret)
I've got a secret and I can't explain
(This is all)
The way you moved I can't explain
The mood subsides and grows again
I've lived alone, I've held a hand
I've tried to care and understand
What is faith and when belief?
And who knows how these things deceive
I never said and though I tried
If I could leave and sleep tonight
I can't imagine
How this ever came to be
Can't imagine
Eternally this field remains Stanlow
No heart or head or mind
No season could erase
We set you down to care for us, Stanlow
A vision fading fast
A million hearts to one
So restrained, she turns away, Stanlow
I've seen her face in every day
The same routine along the way
Tonight in the rain alone
And then again it's been so long
Since one single promise kept
All to say to reason
We wanted a heart to say what we want to
A morning comes just as it left
The warmer feeling seldom owned
And tonight all I see alone
And as she turned we always knew
We always stick together
Like we're something made of glue
And justify the passion
Saying one is more than two
But if you don't believe the words
They're surely to come true
There's one thing that's so obvious
But it's something you won't do
Because you stand above me
But I know you don't
You say you love me
But I know you won't
We always say we're happy
When you know it's never true
But I was just so frightened
Of the things you'd say and do
But if you don't believe the words
They're surely to come true
It's starting to be so obvious
That it's something you won't do
Because you stand above me
But I know you don't
You say you love me
But I know you won't
But if you don't believe the words
They're surely to come true
There's one thing that's so obvious
But it's something you won't do
Because you stand above me
But I know you don't
You say you love me
The speed of light slows down
As the feather hits the ground
And if nothing else gets proved
It's always faster than it sounds
A star that shines so bright
Would be eclipsed tonight
When you kiss the satellite
Because there was always you
And you alone believed
That light could bend this way
It don't seem right
To spend tonight
As I did today
If I had known that you would call (known that you would call)
If I could dream that you would fall (dream that you would fall)
If I could change these wrongs to right
I would have stayed at home tonight
There's nothing you can do
To make this all brand new
And nothing you can say
To make it go away
You've never been so wrong
So how can you act strong
When a fall from grace so hard
Should never take so long
And sat goodbye as you did today
If I had known that you would call (known that you would call)
If I could dream that you would fall (dream that you would fall)
If I could change these wrongs to right
I would have stayed at home tonight
So the speed of light remains
Ever constantly the same
Again tonight as it today
If I had known that you would call (known that you would call)
If I could dream that you would fall (dream that you would fall)
If I could change these wrongs to right
I would have stayed at home tonight
If I had known that you would call (known that you would call)
If I could dream that you would fall (dream that you would fall)
If I could change these wrongs to right
SOUVENIR
It's my direction
It's my proposal
It's so hard
It's leading me astray
My obsession
It's my creation
You'll understand
It's not important now
********In conversation
********In combination
********I tell the truth
********My feelings still remain
All I need is
Co-ordination
I can't imagine
My destination
My intention
Ask my opinion
But no excuse
My feelings still remain
My feelings still remain
I remember that Monday morning
When I was subpoenaed to be in court
Many things ran through my mind
I started thinking about the people
All day long, trying to think of something to say to the people
Are you ready for the question?
All in favour, let it be known by standing on you feet
I want young men and young women, who are not alive today
But who will come into this world, with new preivleges
And new oppurtunities
I wnat them to know and see that these new priveleges and oppurtunities
Did not come without somebody suffering and sacrificing for
Freedom is never given to anybody
Like anybody
I would like to live a long life
Longevity has its place
But i'm not concerned about that now
I just want to do God' will
And he has allowed me to go up to the mountian
And I've looked over
And I've seen the promise land
I may not get there with you
But I want you to know tonight
That we as a people
Will get to the promise land
So I'm happy tonight, I'm not worried about anything
I'm not fearing any man
Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord
Glory Hallelujah, Glory Hallelujah
Glory Hallelujah, Glory Hallelujah
Talk to me, don't lie to me
Save your breath
Don't look at me, don't smile at me
Just close your eyes
I was so impressed by you
I was running blind
I would fall for every trick
Every twist of mind
Heaven is cold
Without any soul
It's hard to believe
I was so in love with you
Don't say your prayers, don't build your hopes
Just walk away
Don't phone me up, don't call around
Don't waste your time
You were so in awe of me
You were so divine
You would do just anything
To still be mine
Heaven is cold
Without any soul
It's hard to believe
I was so in love with you
All the things you said to me
I was so upset
You were always talking talking
God I did my best
Heaven is cold
Without any soul
It's hard to believe
I was so in love with you
God only knows this isn't heaven.
The promises made, we never keep them.
Chorus:
We're walking on air, we're taking our time.
But God only knows this isn't reason or rhyme.
I've had this feeling I don't believe in.
It's happened before, I just reject it.
Repeat chorus
These are the feelings, I know their outcome.
It's useless pretending, I'd like to beat them.
Repeat chorus
We're walking on air, we're taking our time, this time.
But God only knows, this isn't reason or rhyme.
We're walking on air...
Everyday
A new start
A cheap affair
A sordid truth
We'll never learn
To guide our hearts
We'll never find
What we deserve
She's leaving
She waited for so long
She'd pretend
Thant she cared
Invent some tale
Just to gain his heart
But no more dreams
She didn't dare
She washed her hands
Of this whole affair
She's leaving
She waited for so long
But as she left
She gave her heart
Abandoned hope
And turned for home
I thought I'd ask
But then again
The more we learn
The less we know
Save it for the next time
Hands over my head
Faintest sound of lightning
Faintest sound I heard
I?ll never, no, no
I?ll never
All around my body
All around my feet
Please they are watching now
Placed around my feet
All around my body
Please they are watching now
Save it for the next time
Hands over my head
Faintest sound of lightning
Faintest sound I heard
I?ll never, no, no
I?ll never
I?ll never, no, no
I?ll never
All around my body
After all that we've been through,
at the ending of the day,
still your arms are open wide,
still you want to make me pay.
More than pennies, for my dreams,
make me bleed, to make them true,
people who charge, for making love,
know exactly what to do.
(Chorus)
I will not -y, I will not pa-y
,
I will not pa- - y,
I will not pa-y your sugar tax.
Crying tears, you can't explain,
(cryin' tears you can't explian)
begging words,
that won't be said,
(begging words that won't be - ooh)
you can drag me to the floor,
you won't take me to your be-d.
(Chorus)
(Instrumental)
(Chorus)
(Chorus to fade)
If you see me walking down the street, staring at the
sky and dragging my two feet, you just pass me by, It
still makes me cry but you can make me whole again.
And if you see with another man laughing and joking
trying to have some fun, I won't put you down, still
want you around, you can make me whole again.
[chorus]
Looking back on when we first met, I can not escape and
I can not forget, baby you are the one you still turn
me on, you can make me whole again.
Time is layin heavy on my heart seems I’ve got too much
of it since we've been apart, my friends make me smile
if only for a while, you can make me whole again.
[chorus]
Looking back on when we first met, I can not escape and
I can not forget, baby you are the one you still turn
me on, you can make me whole again.
For now I’ll have to wait, but if you change your mind
don't be too late, I just can't go on, its been too
long, but you can make me whole again.
[chorus]
Looking back on when we first met, I can not escape and
I can not forget, baby you are the one you still turn
me on, you can make me whole again.
[chorus]
Looking back on when we first met, I can not escape and
I can not forget, baby you are the one you still turn
me on, you can make me whole again.
Ooh, baby you’re the one, you still turn me on, but you
can make me whole again.
Sunday morning
Brings the dawn in
It's just a restless feeling
By my side
Early dawning
Sunday morning
It's all the wasted years
So close behind
Watch out the world's behind you
There's always someone around you
Who will call
It's nothing at all
Sunday morning
And I'm falling
I've got {a} feeling
I don't want to know
Early dawning
Sunday morning
It's all the streets you've crossed
Not so long ago
Watch out the world's behind you
There's always someone around you
Who will call
It's nothing at all
Watch out the world's behind you
There's always someone around you
Who will call
It's nothing at all
Talking loud and clear
Saying just what we feel
Lying in the grass
With the sun on our backs
It doesn¡¯t really matter
What we do or what we say
With every little movement
We give ourselves away
Opposite and opposite
Decisions are reversed
Facing one another
With words that couldn¡¯t hurt
With every little word
You¡¯re getting closer to me
Talking loud and clear
Saying just what we feel today
Talking loud and clear
Saying just what we feel
Lying in the grass
We¡¯ve got time on our hands
Body next to body
With silence all around
We understand each other
But didn¡¯t make a sound
Promises and promises
Of vows we shall return
Facing one another
I thought my heart would burn
You turn to move away
But then get closer to me
Talking loud and clear
Saying just what we feel today
(Come on just kiss)
(Come on just kiss)
Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
And it doesn't matter if I say I love you
No matter how good the day is
At the end we just faking our best
There was a vision once
That I know we've lost
Nothing matters of value
But it all has a cost
Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
And you wonder why I'm drinking more and more each day
I don't want to come home - I don't want to stay
Cuz the world revolves around what you do and feel and think and say
And if I express myself, it just draws you away
Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
(And you wonder why)
Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
(And you wonder why)
Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
(And you wonder why)
Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
(And you wonder why)
Sometimes
And you wonder why

Testing out theories
Electric Chairs and dynamos
Dressed to kill They're killing me
But Heaven knows their recipe
NO NO NO
You wouldn't believe me if I said
The things I've seen went over my head
I've been patient Heaven knows
I've learnt the rules and how it goes
I can't sit still or settle down
And when I walk I don't touch the ground
See those girls they're Heaven blessed
I guess it's so they know best
Tesla Girls Tesla Girls
Writing in their diaries
Now and then they'll watch TV
Now and then they'll speak to me
But Heaven knows their recipe
NO NO NO
You wouldn't believe them if they said
The things they've seen went over their heads
They've been patient Heaven knows
They seem to care and so it goes
They can't sit still or settle down
And when they walk they don't touch the ground
See those girls they're Heaven blessed
I guess it's so they know best

I'm in love with Tesla Girls
Now and then they'll watch TV
Now and then they'll speak to me
But heaven knows their recipe
I would lie awake and cry at night
But that was then and this is now
I had an anger that was strong enough
And I would face the things I run from now
And everything we did was wonderful
Now it's practical and I don't know how
All the moves we made were done for love
Now it's not enough it seems somehow
And all the feeling that I knew would last
Well they are gone where are they now
And you were beautiful and dangerous
And now you've sacrificed some sacred cow
And I would listen to the things you said
They all made sense why don't they now
Not a penny in our pockets then
We never worried so why do we now
Standing tall against my destiny
Oh I had visions and I could see
I would walk a thousand miles for you
But that was the, that was then
And this ins now, this is now
Look at me now
This is now
Over decades things are changing me
I have no energy where am I now
Too many people seem in need of me
When I was younger I felt so free
Can you see the things I care about
They are not important now time has run out
And only memories are left with me
This shallow history becomes my destiny
I would lie awake and cry all night
That was then this is now
This is where we start
This now take our hearts
Away
Thus we reach the end
The beginning and the end
You see
I could not try
And here you and I
Parting due to me only
And now
On a ship to nowhere
On a dark and tranquil sea
I'm sinking with a cargo
Of the things that cannot be
On the far horizon
The final sunsets fall
And Tuesday becomes Wednesday
Becomes any day at all
Everything we do
Nothing remains true
I am frightened, I'm a liar
And I'm tortured by desire
Every single day
In all the simple ways
I am torn apart inside
By the things I've tried to hide
Down the dusty roads we go
And down the leafy lanes
And down the long and winding road
The landscape stays the same
Everything we do
Nothing remains true
I am frightened, I'm a liar
And I'm tortured by desire
Every single day
In all the simple ways
I am torn apart inside
By the things I've tried to hide
Everything we do
Nothing remains true
I am frightened, I'm a liar
And I'm tortured by desire
And every single day
In all the simple ways
I am torn apart inside
Every day of every year you live your life in hope and fear,
That each small sin and imperfection is buried deep beyond detection.
But one by one the ghosts return, and each selects it's place to burn,
Into your soft and breaking heart, and this is how the aching starts.
The jokes about the ugly kid.
The things you said but never did.
The people torn and crushed and battered.
The ones you broke but should've flattered.
Oh, you should have run whilst you had time.
Oh, you should have left the past behind.
The boy from the chemist is here to see you.
The laughing stops cause he's too near you.
The girl you left that always loved you.
Returns to earth from miles above you now.
So wash away the dirty skin, there's always worse remains within.
The tangled web and bitter mesh, but each shall have their pound of flesh.
No sympathy, no charity, no false pleas of humility.
No money back, no guarantee, no great escape for you and me.
Oh, you should have run whilst you had time.
Oh, you should have left the past behind.
The boy from the chemist is here to see you.
The laughing stops cause he's too near you.
The girl you left that always loved you.
Returns to earth from miles above you now.
And everyone that's ever suffered, friend or foe or wives or lovers.
They'll come back to have their day.
In time you find your mind has no escape.
Don't believe that you can hide, don't believe they'll be denied.
They'll come knocking at your door, this is what they've waited for.
The chance to even up the score.
The boy from the chemist is here to see you.
The laughing stops cause he's too near you.
The girl you left that always loved you.
Returns to earth from miles above you now.
And everyone that's ever suffered, friend or foe or wives or lovers.
They'll come back to have their day.
In time you find your mind has no escape.
I love you when I found you
I loved you like a son
You wrapped your arms around me and the loading had began
And all the years of passion
And what I have become
The only constant through it all is what you had began
At times I feel I've triumphed
Times I know I fell
But even when I've screwed it up
I'd tried to do it well
I guess that I must thank you now
This may the last time
Whatever life may bring you I pray that you'll be fine
I love you when I found you
I loved you like a son
You wrapped your arms around me and the loading had began
And all the years of passion
And what I have become
The only constant through it all is what you had began
I know what you are thinking
You think the clock is ticking
It's Ok if that is...
What you came for
You say that I'm a user
Words just confuse you
It's abuse, but that is...
What you came for
Got it, Started, Going, Oh Yeah
Rockin', No Stoppin',
It's what you came for
Pulse
Got your finger on my pulse
Your finger. Don't stop until you got it
Don't stop until you got my
Pulse
Put your finger on my pulse
I'll tell you. Don't stop until you got it
Don't stop until you got my
Pulse
It doesn't have to be so
Hard if you let go
Ask for help because it's...
What you came for
I'll give you clear instructions
How to use the functions
Fuckin' listen cos it's...
What you came for
Got it, Started, Going, Oh Yeah
Rockin', No Stoppin',
It's what you came for
Pulse
Got your finger on my pulse
Your finger. Don't stop until you got it
Don't stop until you got my
Pulse
Put your finger on my pulse
I'll tell you. Don't stop until you got it
Don't stop until you got my
Pulse
Got it, Started, Going, Oh Yeah
Rockin', No Stoppin',
It's what you came for
Pulse

Your finger. Don't stop until you got it
Don't stop until you got my
Pulse
Got your finger on my pulse
Your finger. Don't stop until you got it
Don't stop until you got my
I love and hate you
At the same time
I need you don't need you
Is that such a crime
I wouldn't walk down the road
To say goodbye
I couldn't give you up
To some other guy
I wouldn't do anything
That you asked me to
But you know
That it's true
I still love you
I want you to help me
To make up my mind
I need you to hear me at least
Some of the time
I wouldn't blame you
If you had to run away
I couldn't stand to live
Like this another day
But I would sell my soul
To get you back today
Cause you know
That it's true
I still love you
I wouldn't blame you
If you had to run away
I couldn't stand to live
Like this another day
But I would sell my soul
To get you back today
Cause you know
That it's true
I still love you
And you know
That it's true
I still love you
And you know
That it's true
Sister Marie Gabriel says she's a chosen one,
And if we hear the message then the kingdom will be come
And Sister Marie Gabriel knows what she says is true
Her words are full of wisdom and you know they need no proof
I don't know exactly what I'd do
If everything she told us would come true
And Sister Marie Gabriel says turn away from sin.
Turn your face to Jesus and prepare to let him in.
Life is full of sorrow and you need a rest from pain
So call youself believers and you'll all get fooled again.
I don't know exactly what I'd do
If everything she told us would come true
Sister Marie says
And all the order in our lives
Left some time ago
Along the way
We are the ones who never cry
Like we don't care
Today
Me at home and you out there
And on your way
It's gone so far and now it seems
It's only me
Who cares
I know it helps the times you asked
Though never gained
A little hope to set you free
Less restrained
And though the order in our lives
Left some time ago
We are the ones who never cry
Or so we're told
It's gone so far and now it seems
It's only me
Me at home and you out there
along the way
Me at home and you out there
along the way
Me at home and you out there
along the way
Every thing you say
Every thing you do
All the things you owe
All the things you knew
Every one you love
Every one you hate
All will be erased
And replaced
Every thing you take
Every thing you gave
All the things you found
All the things you made
Every one you lost
and saved
Nothing will remain
Cradle or grave
Every precious child
and every mother's kiss
All that went before
All that follow this
Every moment shared
Hour of the day
No record will remain
All will fade away
Every dream you had
and every battle won
All the hopes and fears
Bombs and guns
Fear is lies
Planted in son
All is erased
Another has begun
There will be no song
When the final voice is gone
There will be no song
When the final voice is gone
There will be no song
When the final voice is gone
Every thing you say
Every thing you do
All the things you owe
All the things you knew
Every one you love
Every one you hate
All will be erased
And replaced
(There)
Every thing you take
Every thing you gave
(will be no song)
All the things you found
All the things you made
(When the final)
Every one you lost
and saved
(voice is gone)
Nothing will remain
Cradle or grave
(There)
Every dream you had
and every battle won
(will be no song)
All the hopes and fears (will be no song)
Bombs and guns
(When the final)
Fear is lies
Planted in son
(voice is gone)
All is erased (voice is gone)
There's no victims only volunteers
Been the same throughout the years
Step right up and cry your tears
Face to face with all the fears
They don't want you they don't need you
They just use you they just bleed you
They don't want you they don't need you
They just use you they just bleed you
New babies and new toys
It's better with the girls but it's bigger with the boys
Sold a dream but you got no joy
It's better with the girls but it's bigger with the boys
There's no heaven there's no hell
Cream will float but shit will sell
Step aside avoid the smell
I surrender, ring the bell
They don't want you, they don't need you
They just use you, they just bleed you
They don't want you
They just bleed you
New babies and new toys
It's better with the girls but it's bigger with the boys
Sold a dream but you got no joy
It's better with the girls but it's bigger with the boys
I'm waiting for my man
Twenty-six dollars in my hand
Up to Lexington, 125
Feel sick and dirty, more dead than alive
I'm waiting for my man
Hey, white boy, what you doin' uptown?
Hey, white boy, you chasin' our women around?
Oh pardon me sir, it's the furthest from my mind
I'm just lookin' for a dear, dear friend of mine
I'm waiting for my man
Here he comes, he's all dressed in black
PR shoes and a big straw hat
He's never early, he's always late
First thing you learn is that you always gotta wait
I'm waiting for my man
Up to a Brownstone, up three flights of stairs
Everybody-body's pinned you, but nobody cares
He's got the works, gives you sweet taste
Aw then you gotta split because you got no time to
waste
I'm waiting for my man
Baby don't you holler, darlin' don't you bawl and shout
I'm feeling good, you know I'm gonna work it on out
I'm feeling good, I'm feeling so fine
Until tomorrow, but that's just some other time
I'm waiting for my man
(Walk me home)
(Ah, that's all right)
Mystereality
It's not the same game anymore
I know the times or the places before
You don't know, you don't know, you don't know
If you see me you'll be asking
It's always tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, day
Oh, reality don't fool me
No mistakes this time
Mystereality
Well, right, it's all just promises
You know how much I hate the unforeseen
Oh, don't you know
I never, never regard for the truth
What's the meaning of that Mister R
Oh, reality don't fool me
No mistakes this time
And my, my, reality
So where did we go wrong?
Have you seen just a-recently
The lengths to which we've been
Now you could say that it's time
Mistakes, they seldom work
Oh, reality don't fool me
I love and hate you
at the same time
I need you don't need you
is that such a crime
I wouldn't walk down the road
to say goodbye
I couldn't give you up
to some other guy
I wouldn't do anything
that you asked me to
but you know
that it's true
I still love you
I want you to help me
to make up my mind
I need you to hear me at least
some of the time
I wouldn't blame you
if you had to run away
I couldn't stand to live
like this another day
but I would sell my soul
to get you back today
cause you know
that it's true
I still love you
I wouldn't blame you
if you had to run away
I couldn't stand to live
like this another day
but I would sell my soul
to get you back today
cause you know
that it's true
I still love you
and you know
that it's true
I still love you
and you know
that it's true
I still love you
She walks real slow
Talks like an animal
What am I
Supposed to do
I¡¯ve tried to explain
My heart¡¯s not a radio
But I can¡¯t seem
To get to you
Face to face
Tears on a heart of stone
When she talks
I walk away
It seems to me
It¡¯s just a waste of time
These are words
I know she¡¯s heard before
She¡¯s the girl
Guess I¡¯ll always know
And I¡¯ve tried
I¡¯ve tried
She always seems to know
The morning after
But not before
I haven¡¯t slept
Worrying
I know I promised
To come see you
But now I have these
Things to do
All in all
It seems to me
You don¡¯t understand subtlety
Shall I make it obvious
Do you really want me to make up?
She doesn¡¯t talk
For days and days
And when she does
She always says
That I act real slow
Behave like an animal
What am I supposed to do?
And I¡¯ve tried
I¡¯ve tried
But she always seems to know
We don¡¯t make sense
Love and Violence
We don¡¯t make sense

Everything is as it should be
From motion and heart to the scenery
From make do and mend to the new Paris trend
You said that you learnt but it happens again
What's a heart that refuses to be
Fortunes gained lost on the street
I couldn't believe this would happen again
The things you said and I called you my friend
Each time we tried we failed as before
>From laissez faire to the knock on the door
But everything is as it should be
When you give your heart to me
From mo mo mo mo motion and heart
to heart heart heart heart heart and move
from mo mo mo mo motion and heart
to heart heart heart heart heart and move
It worries me this kind of thing
How you hope to live alone
And occupy your waking hours
We're taking sides again
I just wept I couldn't understand
Why you started this again
And every day you send me more
It makes it worse is this a plan of yours
To ensure I don't forget
I'd write and tell you that I've burnt them all
But you never send me your address
And I've, I've kept them anyway
So don't ask me if I think it's true
That communication can bring hope to those
Who have gone their separate ways
It hardly touched me when it should have then
But memories are uncertain friends
When recalled by messages
Coded messages
Poison letters
In ecstasy they cry to know
If their parents love will let them grow
Their mother¡¯s pride, their father¡¯s joy
We thank the stars that they¡¯re not boys
The native daughters of the golden west
Their beauty is priceless
As children do they stayed at home
Waiting for the day that they were grown
The future seemed so far away
But every night they¡¯d kneel and pray
But all in all they did their best
And one by one they left the nest
Across the globe they searched for love
And put their faith in God above
The native daughters of the golden west
They¡¯re made out of light
We never would have guessed
So by and by their dreams came true They fell in love with boys they knew
Their children grew fed from the breast
Of the native daughters of the golden west
The native daughters of the golden west
They talk all day
But we were not impressed
The native daughters of the golden west
They¡¯re sisters of mercy
They¡¯ll grant your last request
Give me what I want
I need everything I can take
Division of everything
All you have
Principles never worked before
I want everything I can take
Everything I can take
88 seconds is all it takes
88 seconds, don't make mistakes
We've seen you, we can see you
In red and blue, in black and white
Under crystal skies, in full day light
You know it, God, you know it
88 seconds is all it takes
(88 seconds)
In 88 seconds we don't make mistakes
We know you oh, yes we have known you
Times are changing but not in our street
Once we played there like the good times
You know it, God, you know it
They're heading for a shallow grave
With a big black cross by a tall white house
To a place down south, we won't forget
To be stabbed in the back by a man they met
In 88 seconds, in Greensboro
88 seconds in Greensboro
In 88 seconds, in Greensboro
88 seconds
88 seconds in Greensboro
In 88 seconds, in Greensboro
Is all we take, is all we take
88, 88, 88, 88, 88, 88
88, 88, 88, 88, 88, 88
88, 88, 88, 88, 88, 88
One by one the walls come down
Spread the word all over town
Kicking screaming like I'll drown
Can't you see I'm fallin
I want you, do you want me
What's it take to make you see
Like bomb that ticking endlessly
Can't you hear me calling
Will you, won't you, come with me
Wishin hoping that you'll see.
If you want it, it will come
Through the rain and burning sun
Over hills and far away
Nothing stops this, not today
Take a chance on me tonight
Baby it'll be alright
Nothing ventured, nothing gained
Nothing lost but all the tears and pain
Give me all you've got to give
Live the life you want to live
No point thinking about "what if?"
Come on. Make my day
Tell me what I need to know
If you don't want this then I'll go
Insane but I won't let it show
Don't let me walk away
Will you, won't you, come with me
Wishing hoping that you'll see.
If you want it, it will come
Through the rain and burning sun
Over hills and far away
Nothing stops this, not today
Take a chance on me tonight
Baby it'll be alright
Nothing ventured, nothing gained
Nothing lost but all the tears and pain
If I could make you start to understand
If I could only make you see
What this all means to me
Let it in inside your heart
Set your mind and spirit free
Show me
If you want it, it will come,
Through the rain and burning sun
Over hills and far away
Nothing stops this, not today
Take a chance on me tonight
Baby it'll be alright
Nothing ventured, nothing gained
Nothing lost but all the tears and pain
