1. Otherworldly Pleasures
Mother Earth: "Whatever you do child don't face to the Sun!" Wise Old Wizard: "Where do you think you are going?" Misguided Soul: "Away" Wise Old Wizard: "Where are you? We know you're out there, somewhere....." It's getting late in the day And I haven't heard a whisper Where are you now? We'd like to know As we miss you You misguided soul You rebellious soul Maybe you're the one who's right Perhaps we just don't understand. 2. Another Misguided Soul Well your mother's at her wits end Your father's disowning you What else did you expect them to do? You better pull yourself together In to a better frame of mind You're so, so, so young With so much treasure yet to find Believe it or not we really care Believe it or not we want to see you alright Believe it or not you're a part of our life Believe it or not we want to see you alright You're another misguided soul Changing places, changing faces We used to know Another misguided soul Let in the light, shut out the dark It's got to go, it's got to go It's got to go, you know, it's got to go, go, go It's getting late in the evening And I stare into a flickering fire I can see your tortured soul Rise above the funeral pyre I hope you can keep your aching head Well above the rising tide When will you realise We're only on your side! Believe it or not we really care Believe it or not we want to see you alright Believe it or not you're a part of our lives Believe it or not we want to see you alright You're another misguided soul Changing places, changing faces We used to know Another misguided soul Let in the light, shut out the dark It's got to go, it's got to go It's got to go, you know, it's got to go, go, go ... take it Believe it or not we really care Believe it or not we want to see you alright Believe it or not you're a part of our lives Believe it or not we want to see you alright You're another misguided soul Changing places, changing faces we used to know Another misguided soul Let in the light, shut out the dark, it's got to go.... |

(Lament to 2211)
Voices in the chamber Murmurings on the floor Dissension on the benches Echoes around the hall The Iron Lady bellows The House in disarray The opposition are seething It's always been that way Here, in the chamber of horrors, horrors Here, in the chamber of horrors, horrors Carefully crafted rhetoric Never straying too close to the point So many vested interests In the hammer house Rally all your comrades Stick to your guns Agree to disagree Whatever the outcome Here, in the chamber of horrors, horrors Here, in the chamber of horrors, horrors Horrors, horrors, horrors! Welcome to my chamber There's so much here to do You can laugh or joke Or curse and swear And run the country too Deep down in the belly Of your revered democracy You can say just what you want to say But don't you disagree with me, no... If you have a local problem You can come and share it with us We'll do our best to help you But don't you make too much of a fuss Here, in the chamber of horrors, horrors Here, in the chamber of horrors, horrors |

The last time that I saw you was on stage in a video
Alive and high kicking at Hammersmith O... So good So good I can close my eyes and picture movement so serene Beauty in full motion a true whimsical princess... Oh yes... So good, so sensual So good, so sensual, sensual, sensual... Evaporation, evaporation, where did you go to? Where did you go? Evaporation, evaporation, I've really missed you So much Although a decade has passed I still think of you It only seems like yesterday I know you are no child but I can feel your innocence When I visualise, in my mind, in my head, oh yes! I doubt if you'll ever know me But it would warm me so much if you did, oh if you did You take all my breath away and send my pulse a racing Into overdrive, you do... Without fail So good, so sensual So good, so sensual, sensual Evaporation, evaporation, where did you go to? Where did you go? Evaporation, evaporation, I've really missed you So much Not so much as a whisper you further the enigma Although it seems like yesterday If only I could talk to you If only I could meet you If only we could harmonise together If only I could sing with you If only I could breath you Maybe we could harmonise together Evaporation, evaporation, where did you go to? Where did you go? Evaporation, evaporation, I've really missed you So much Evaporation, evaporation, it's good to see you back again In the fold Evaporation, evaporation, I've really missed you So much Don't stay too long Don't evaporate Don't evaporate... |

A wave of humility is sweeping across from the East
Former hard line heroes have been humbled to their knees Corridors of power echo with rumours of change Nothing in our history forever stays the same Silent revolution - not a General to be heard People power talking - the power of the spoken word Quiet revolution - a peaceful pragmatic approach Real people power - a subject not often broached The puppet master pulls the strings, the marionettes are weaving In and out, side to side to escape their master's teasing The voice of reason from the Motherland is holding to its course Weeding out dissension and silencing the hawks Silent revolution - not a General to be heard People power talking - the power of the spoken word Quiet revolution - a peaceful pragmatic approach Real people power - a subject not often broached Reform, react, a clearer, brighter destiny Reform, react, a safer world for you and for me Armchair observers might not get the whole picture Who understands everything there is to understand The mere thought of hope and increased democracy Is reward enough in and of itself, well we'll see What of the ordinary people? The one's who've had to suffer Who've lived with austerity And never had the privileged pleasures Silent revolution - not a General to be heard People power talking - the power of the spoken word Quiet revolution - a peaceful pragmatic approach Real people power - a subject not often broached Constructive revolution - building blocks to a better life People power talking - time has come to turn the tide |

Shut, shut, shut, shut Tightly shut, kept shut Shut, shut, shut, shut This is Room 801 You're looking at Room 801 Here in Room 801 The legendary room 801 801... White lights, getting brighter Then fading, disappear A distant drone, getting louder Then fading, disappear Radio interference, no logical explanation An unusual blip on the radar screen It's too large for a man made flying machine Yes we know, we know They know, they know We all know, we know They know, they know We all know, yes we all know This is Room 801 You're looking at room 801 Here in Room 801 You're looking at Room 801 801... From the Air Ministry To the DDI From the MOD To the CIA All information classified Not available to you or I From Salandin to Kilgallen From Gaydon to Lakenheath What are we to believe? What are we to believe? What should we believe? What the hell should we believe? Tell me! Will we ever solve these mysteries? What lies within Room 801? "I am convinced that these objects do exist They are not manufactured by any nation on earth I can therefore see no alternative to believing That they come from some extra-terrestrial source!" |

We put the fate of the human race in the hands of cold machines
They have no perception of compassion or hat it would really mean If data caused the buttons to be pushed we'd all be blown away Self destruction is the 'in' cause for the human race.... Digital, digital, digital man, eroding our emotions Cynical, cynical, cynical man, his feelings disappear The Automaton Robot mentalities, attracting high positions I hope this does not rub off on the younger generation Awareness is more widespread than at any time before With media power very much to the fore Cynical, cynical, cynical man, when will he realise? Digital, digital, digital man, will never understand Sometimes technology advances Are not always desired Sometimes there comes a point When it all gets too cold Drained of all our instincts Our common senses are reeling Microchip revolution But someone left out the feeling I hope the higher echelons in science don't wrap Themselves in their own little galaxies of knowledge I hope that they maintain some semblance of their inner sanity Don't digitise too far, digital man will never understand Digital, digital, digital man, his conscience evaporates Cynical, cynical, cynical man, has sterilised his faith Digital, digital, digital man, when will he realise? Digital, clinical, cynical man, will never understand! Don't digitise too far |

It's so damp in here and I've lost all my reasons
It's so cold in here and now I'm shivering, shivering It's so dark in here and I've lost all my direction And I don't know quite where I stand anymore But I will win through, though I think I need you now I will overcome the pain that you put me through Yes, I will survive, I will overcome the heartache That you put me through That you put me through I will overcome it I've lost all my senses, I can't see or feel the right way And my vision is blurred and I have no balance left at all And it's still so dark in here, I've got to find my lost direction Before I lose control for good But I will win through, though I think I need you now I will overcome the pain that you put me through Yes, I will survive, I will overcome the heartache That you put me through That you put me through I will overcome it I've got to rise up again Leave the embers to cool I've got to walk out of here In one piece, I will win through Because I'm leaving this time Going to find a new way of living Yes, I'm leaving for good Because I know just where my interests lie And that's not with you, no That's not with you, no Yes I will win through, though I think I need you now I will overcome the pain that you put me through Yes, I will survive, I will overcome the heartache That you put me through Whatever you do, whatever you say, wherever you go Don't you lose control Don't you lose control Don't lose it |

I can feel the surface tension mounting
Digging down into my skin, into my bones Seeping through into my blood, into my flesh Malignant, indignant of my state of mind Putting on the pressure My resistance is waning There seems to be no way that I can win against This human condition, feeling guilty for our kind Though there's no need I know It's just the way the operator runs my show He's putting on the pressure Like a time bomb, I'm primed to explode Some time in the future, depends on how heavy the load But don't worry, it's not going to blow for a while Maybe when a decision is reached At the end of my internal trial... Mortar bombs and festive songs Don't mix too well at Christmas time This pantomime has lost its humour I heard a rumour of Peace On Our Earth It was lost in a dirge of plastic explosives Blowing sky high the blood red roses That were left on the doorstep of another young lover Who, after all, was just one of our brothers One of our brothers There just vivid pictures on a TV screen Of reality and what has been This is no John Wayne movie This is everyday violence for free! And I'll say a prayer in the church of compassion Miracles have been known to happen, haven't they? So I've been told It could have been me It could have been you It could have been me It could have been anyone of you They're putting on the pressure They put you under pressure They're putting on the pressure They never let go Never let go Never! |
