When you're in love
You know you're in love No matter what you try to do You might as well resign yourself To what you're going through If you're a hard man or if you're a child It still might get to you Don't kid yourself you've seen it all before A million mouths have said that too I've had my hard times in the past I've been a husband and a lover too I've lain alone and cried at night Over what love made me do And the loved ones who let me down And couldn't share my point of view But this is Philomena talking I want to tell you What I've found to be true I love your love action Lust's just a distraction No talking, just looking Watching your love action I believe, I believe what the old man said Though I know that there's no lord above I believe in me, I believe in you And you know I believe in love I believe in truth though I lie a lot I feel the pain from the push and shove No matter what you put me through I'll still believe in love And I say I love your love action Lust's just a distraction No talking, just looking Watching your love action I love your love action Lust's just a distraction No talking, just looking Watching your love action I love your love action Lust's just a distraction No talking - I'm just checking To see if someone out there Is really reading all this |

Tell me when
Will I? Tell me when Will I? Tell me when Will I see you again? Tell me when Kelly took a lifetime Searching for the bottom line I wasn't into searching 'Cause I was doing fine I wasn't into fighting, chasing, Sweating, slaving, fretting, racing Any waste of effort Isn't part of my design Billy was an inspiration, positive and kind Until he let confusion Overcome his youthful mind Common sense dictated I could never be so blind And then Then I see you Tell me when Will I see you again? Tell me when Will I see you again? Tell me when Will I see you again? Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah Happenstance an episode unplanned, Alone in time Coincidence, the second chance Re-sounding like a rhyme How paths may cross against the odds To wreck the plans you made Among the crowd a face that smiles To melt your masquerade If only I could see you Says the stranger deep inside And lets you know that when you were So sure you really lied If only I could see you Says the voice within your brain And quietly, insistently It says it once again And then, I really need to know Chorus It wouldn't seem so lonely If only I could see you Baby, you can be free If only I could see you You'll never have to doubt me If only I could see you Baby, you could free me If only I could see you If only I could see you Tell me when Tell me when Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah Tell me when Will I see you again? x3 Then I really need to know If only if only if only I could see you If only I could see you If only if only if only I could see you Will I see you again? If only if only if only I could see you Will I see you again? Will I see you again? If only if only if only I could see you Will I see you again? Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah If only if only if only I could see you Tell me when Will I see you again? Tell me when Will I see you again? If only if only if only I could see you Tell me when Will I see you again? If only if only if only I could see you x2 |

Ah ah
Here's a song About living in the past If it was so good then How come it didn't last? If it helps you I'll put it in a phrase Those were the times But these are the days These are the days x4 The times you're smiling back on Had that great sitcom It hardly compensated For the terror of the bomb Let me help 'Cause you're looking through a haze Those were the times These are the days These are the days Hey hey hey These are the days Can you hear me now? These are the days Look around look around look around These are the days These are the days Hey hey live today These are the days It's time to put the past away These are the days The more you do the more you say These are the days The more I need to get away You're longing for a time there never was Now tell me the truth You're looking for the reason It's because You're fighting for youth But if I have to listen any more To fantasy talk Or any other bug you have I'm leaving Now I'm not saying Everything is really great Hey hey hey After sixteen years Of legalised class hate Why waste time Looking back for things to praise? Those were the times huh But these are the days These are the days Looking back in history These are the days Time to get contempory These are the days The past is not the place to be |

Talking to your lover
On a non existent phone Houseful of nothing The joyous conversation Of a creature quite alone Houseful of nothing The whir of passing traffic The sighing of the breeze Houseful of nothing The awareness of a culture That is fading by degrees Houseful of nothing A hint of a shadow Or a picture by the door Houseful of nothing The creak of a staircase Or the flexing of the floor Houseful of nothing The light spreading even Neither glaring nor too dark Houseful of nothing All finished had blended Leaving surface with no mark Houseful of nothing One time in a lifetime Understand just what you own No-one Owns the sunshine And possession is a stone One time in a lifetime Try to glimpse just who you are All that learning All those ages Have you really come so far? The traces of a perfume Half-remembered from the past Houseful of nothing The ringing of a catchphrase From a cherished telecast Houseful of nothing Nothing in the corner Nothing on the wall Houseful of nothing It makes you laugh to think That there were ever things at all Houseful of nothing One time in a lifetime Will you use the things you know Will you passing Make a difference Oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo Will you foster, will you sow One time in a lifetime Make a list of all you own And when you are gone What will it do for you, baby? Hey hey hey hey hey hey You took my family Give it back give it back You took the heart of me Give it back give it back You took my dignity Give it back Remember society Bring it back bring it back bring it back Sense of community Bring it back bring it back bring it back Lost opportunity Bring it back bring it back bring it back Mercy and charity Bring it back Bring it bring it bring it bring it back One time in a lifetime Understand just what you own No-one owns the sunshine And possession is a stone One time Remember society In a lifetime Bring it back Try to glimpse just who you are All that learning Sense of community All those ages Bring it back Have you really come so far?

Where my dreams are all too clear Darkness, darkness Filled with all the sounds of fear I hear voices (don't turn out the light) Calling faraway I see shadows (don't turn out the light) Moving, changing shape And the clock stops As darkness closes in I hesitate but it's too late I scream and scream again I hear colours black and red I see sounds that fill my head I'll never read those books again In darkness Where my dreams are all too clear Darkness, darkness Filled with all the sounds of fear I hear voices (don't turn out the light) Calling faraway I see shadows (don't turn out the light) Moving, changing shape Don't turn out the light (don't turn out the light) Or I'll go over the edge Don't turn out the light (don't turn out the light) Or I'll go over the edge In darkness Where my dreams are all too clear Darkness, darkness Filled with all the sounds of fear I hear voices (don't turn out the light) Calling faraway I see shadows (don't turn out the light) Moving, changing shape I hear voices (don't turn out the light) Calling faraway I see shadows (don't turn out the light) Moving, changing shape |

Those cocky little fires you started in the night
The independent claims that just meant "Hold me tight" The bruises on your body that you swore were from a fight I'll pass at your insistence Alsatians fall unconscious at the shadow of your call One glance from your direction and the government will fall Whole continents of misery don't bother you at all But for me you have persistence Run all day, run all night Do or die, do or die Got to run for your life Do or die, do or die I'd like to leave so would you kindly look the other way You tell me to be honest but I've nothing left to say Just like your feet my goddess, my brain has turned to clay An end to all resistance Run all day, run all night Do or die, do or die Got to run for your life Do or die, do or die Run all day, run all night Do or die, do or die Got to run for your life Do or die, do or die Run all day, run all night Do or die, do or die Got to run for your life Do or die, do or die Run all day, run all night Do or die, do or die Got to run for your life Do or die, do or die |

Been out all night, I needed a bite, I thought I'd put a record on
I reached for the one with the ultra-modern label, and wondered where the light had gone It had a futuristic cover, lifted straight from Buck Rogers The record was so black it had to be a con The autochanger switched as I filled my sandwich And futuristic sounds warbled off and on The black hit of space It's the one without a face It's the one that doesn't fit You can only see the flip The black hit of space Sucking in the human race How can it stay at the top When it's swallowed all the shops As the song climbed the charts, the others disappeared Til there was nothing but it left to buy It got to number one, then into minus figures Though nobody could understand why The black hit of space It's the one without a face It's the one that doesn't fit You can only see the flip The black hit of space Sucking in the human race How can it stay at the top When it's swallowed all the shops I couldn't stand this bland sound any more so I walked towards my deck to turn it off All I could see was the B-side of the disc which had assumed a doughnut shape with the label on the outside rim I reached for the arm which was less than one micron long but weighed more than Saturn and time stood still I knew I had to escape but every time I tried to flee, the record was in front of me The black hit of space Get James Burke on the case It's the hit that's never gone Time stops when you put it...(on) |

When you fall into your seat, you know you feel you might be dying
As the breath rasps in and out, of your burning throat You can't control your lungs because you're so tired You're half awake with one arm in your coat Well thank God that there is someone there to drive you You know you couldn't make it on your own He helps you through the door You sit down on the floor And you're asleep before you are alone Your life is like a schedule You run to meet the bills No one's awake to tell you Life kills Your life is like a schedule You run to meet the bills No one's awake to tell you Life kills For a while it seems exhaustion has subsided The day is over and the moon is high But your period of work is predecided Funny how the hours of freedom seem to fly Well thank God that there is someone there to drive you You know you couldn't make it on your own He helps you in the door You sit down as before Another shift to pay another loan Your life is like a schedule You run to meet the bills No one's awake to tell you Life kills Your life is like a schedule You run to meet the bills No one's awake to tell you Life kills Your life is like a schedule You run to meet the bills No one's awake to tell you Life kills Your life is like a schedule You run to meet the bills No one's awake to tell you Life kills |

Someone stopped the clock when we should have started early
If we miss the morning meeting our lives will be in danger Someone's trying to stop us, there is someone in our party It is someone with a grudge and they won't let us reach the border Our lives are in his hands, we pay with Krugerands The currency of pain to help us leaving While back in our homeland the ones who make a stand Are taken from their homes and no one hears of them again I felt I had to come here, I thought things would be better The situation's changed but I find I'm still resented Someone wants my job it is someone in this building Someone's spreading rumours and I don't feel I can stay here I think I'm going north and now's the time to leave The people there they say are good to strangers And if I do my best and try to settle in I'm sure I can be just like someone's neighbour I'm sure I can be just like someone's neighbour |

A crow and a baby
Had an affair The result was a landslide The result was a dare The result was a baby Who wanted it all Moved out of the doll's house Moved out of the hall With one wing on the town and a gleam in an eye of red Said "My father was a crow, now I want all fathers dead Find the fathers of this world, treat them as a fatal foe Put them in the deepest hole, then cover the pit with snow" With one wing on the town And a gleam in an eye of red I'm just trying to tell you what you'll come up against If you venture from my side, If you think you're so mature You will end up in a field, you will be someone's manure Mushrooms growing from your back Feeding some damn carrion bird Do you want to contribute To the corruption of the world? With one wing on the town And a gleam in an eye of red A crow and a baby Had an affair My dream was the baby The crow was your hair Parts of me love parts of you That at least is obvious Give my baby back to me You must see it's only just With one wing on the town And a gleam in an eye of red With one wing on the town And a gleam in an eye of red With one wing on the town And a gleam in an eye of red |

Your conversation will suffice I feel the need that's known to all Better use it up before the levels fall You can take me back to the primal drive You can carry on until we arrive Hypnotised inside Now I'm not young and you're not old I'd rather purchase than be sold Crazed friends so bold It's not easy to conceal When you're so touchable People will hide indifference Just to be touchable They still emit split second screams When they are touchable Under the surface just for kicks Sincerely touchable You say it's okay, but what do I feel Guilt, compassion, or Achilles Heel Little feet march down grey matter hill Then panic occurs, no seeds to spill What's the matter now Please look up and speak Your spirit's wilting and your flesh is weak Eight days a week I can't imagine what'll happen now I wonder when and I wonder how The end will come It's not easy to conceal When you're so touchable People will hide indifference Just to be touchable It's not easy to conceal When you're so touchable People will hide indifference Just to be touchable They still emit split second screams When they are touchable Under the surface just for kicks Sincerely touchable The final answer to all our fears Abrupt conclusion to all our years Still touchable but no one hears They carry on hypnotised inside |

Ok, ready, let's do it...
Listen to the voice of Buddha Saying stop your sericulture Little people like your offspring Boiled alive for some Gods stocking Buddha's watching, Buddha's waiting Just because the kid's an orphan Is no excuse for thoughtless slaying People don't forget this torture Just because you call her mother Doesn't mean that she's your better Once more with the voice of Buddha He'll say carry on your slaughter Who cares for the little children You may slice with no conviction Blind revenge on a blameless victim Listen to the voice of Buddha Saying stop your sericulture He'll say carry on your slaughter Who cares for the little children You may slice with no conviction Blind revenge on a blameless victim Listen to the voice of Buddha Listen to the voice of Buddha Listen to the voice of Buddha |

The way it was in the past
A long, long time ago Before staff levels dropped They used to listen to the radio And listen to the DJ's talk About the songs they didn't know As if it really mattered Hit-pick or phone-in show I don't want you to go tonight Ten thousand watts of power News headlines on the hour tonight Our music beats the best You just don't need the rest tonight Once I couldn't care at all But I can feel the ratings fall tonight And 20 years ago No-one seemed to care The people must have known The DJ's role was only there To fill in space between the songs That talk of love and other things As if they didn't matter Automatic stations came And sent them all away And now I'm left alone I haven't got a word to say And you're the one who makes the choice To turn me on or turn me off But now it really matters Hit-pick or phone-in show I don't want you to go tonight Ten thousand watts of power News headlines on the hour tonight Our music beats the best You just don't need the rest tonight Once I couldn't care at all But I can feel the ratings fall tonight Hit-pick or phone-in show I don't want you to go tonight Ten thousand watts of power News headlines on the hour tonight Our music beats the best You just don't need the rest tonight Ten thousand watts of power News headlines on the hour tonight |

(Accuracy is NOT guaranteed) I take one look at you It leaves me breathless I see your dream's come true You're not so restless Or light, or bright Marianne One day I might not care What happens to me Your lack of sympathy Fails to disturb me I've got a life of my own I remember the day I thought we couldn't lose Running round the garden In your mother's shoes Playing silly sisters And drinking green tea On a cold autumn day Someone's car had broken down The best of summer ends When you give a celebration We can leave but we can't really go on It would spoil the celebration Add it up, all that's left is a space in your life That goes on as before One day I might not care What happens to me Your lack of sympathy Fails to disturb me I've got a life of my own Add it up, all that's left is a space in your life That goes on as before Marianne Add it up, all that's left is a space in your life That goes on as before Marianne Add it up, all that's left is a space in your life That goes on as before Marianne Add it up, all that's left is a space in your life At the end of the world Marianne |

Those cocky little fires you started in the night
The independent claims that just meant "Hold me tight" The bruises on your body that you swore were from a fight I'll pass at your insistence Alsatians fall unconscious at the shadow of your call One glance from your direction and the government will fall Whole continents of misery don't bother you at all But for me you have persistence Run all day, run all night Do or die, do or die Got to run for your life Do or die, do or die I'd like to leave so would you kindly look the other way You tell me to be honest but I've nothing left to say Just like your feet my goddess, my brain has turned to clay An end to all resistance Run all day, run all night Do or die, do or die Got to run for your life Do or die, do or die Run all day, run all night Do or die, do or die Got to run for your life Do or die, do or die Run all day, run all night Do or die, do or die Got to run for your life Do or die, do or die Run all day, run all night Do or die, do or die Got to run for your life Do or die, do or die |

When you're in love
You know you're in love No matter what you try to do You might as well resign yourself To what you're going through If you're a hard man or if you're a child It still might get to you Don't kid yourself you've seen it all before A million mouths have said that too I've had my hard times in the past I've been a husband and a lover too I've lain alone and cried at night Over what love made me do And the loved ones who let me down And couldn't share my point of view But this is philomena talking I want to tell you What I've found to be true I love your love action Lust's just a distraction No talking, just looking Watching your love action I believe, I believe what the old man said Though I know that there's no lord above I believe in me, I believe in you And you know I believe in love I believe in truth though I lie a lot I feel the pain from the push and shove No matter what you put me through I'll still believe in love And I say I love your love action Lust's just a distraction No talking, just looking Watching your love action I love your love action Lust's just a distraction No talking, just looking Watching your love action I love your love action Lust's just a distraction No talking - I'm just checking To see if someone out there Is really reading all this |

Starting over
To feel the way I do A sudden stranger To everything I knew All the years together Now the days we are apart New experiences New sensation for the heart But you know that you will go back Where you used to Jam Got to get some jam Jam Got to get some To be alone was frightening But I knew I had to stay 'Til all the dreamers came To take my loneliness away But you know that you will go back Where you used to Jam Got to get some jam Jam You've got to get some If all our life is dancing Then let's just let the music play What good is crying? I'm going to jam my life away But you know that you will go back Where you used to Jam Where you used to Jam Jam Jam Jam Starting over To feel the way I do A sudden stranger To everything I knew But you know that you will go back Where you used to But you know that you will go back Where you used to Jam Got to get some jam Jam Got to get some Jam Got to get some jam Jam Got to get some Jam Jam Jam Jam |

The sun that's shining through the shattered window
Is breaking into colours in the car Through the heat the dust blows round the pueblo The sounds of people drift in from afar Can we really lose everything On a matter of pride? Is this really the end of our love? How am I to decide? Are you ever coming back? Are you ever coming back? Are you ever coming back? Are you ever coming back? Another village rises in the distance To mark the passage to the journey's end The droning of the engine is existence It's too far for the mind to comprehend Can we really lose everything On a matter of pride? Is this really the end of our love? How am I to decide? Are you ever coming back? Are you ever coming back? Are you ever coming back? Are you ever coming back? |

I was wondering
All the time that I was waiting When would I rise From the years that I'd been hating For the first time Living seemed to mean so much to me Like the day time Shining from the night that used to be Just when it seemed like My chances all had gone I found a reason To fight to carry on Look back in anger Look back in fun But take what you want Love on the run Life hates a loser Look what you've done Hold up your head Love on the run So the page turned Someone there to read my history Understanding Always wants to see the best in me For the future Looking just a little like a dream Warm and hazy Living everyday but more extreme Just when it seemed like My chances all had gone I found a reason To fight to carry on Look what you've done Look back in anger Look back in fun Write your own story Love on the run Life hates a loser Look what you've done Revel in glory Love on the run Look back in anger Look back in fun But take what you want Love on the run Life hates a loser Look what you've done Hold up your head Love on the run Hold your head up Hold your head up Hold your head up Love on the run Hold your head up Hold your head up Hold your head up Look back in anger Look back in fun Write your own story Love on the run Life hates a loser Look what you've done Revel in glory Love on the run |

When you're in love
You know you're in love No matter what you try to do You might as well resign yourself To what you're going through If you're a hard man or if you're a child It still might get to you Don't kid yourself you've seen it all before A million mouths have said that too I've had my hard times in the past I've been a husband and a lover too I've lain alone and cried at night Over what love made me do And the loved ones who let me down And couldn't share my point of view But this is philomena talking I want to tell you What I've found to be true I love your love action Lust's just a distraction No talking, just looking Watching your love action I believe, I believe what the old man said Though I know that there's no lord above I believe in me, I believe in you And you know I believe in love I believe in truth though I lie a lot I feel the pain from the push and shove No matter what you put me through I'll still believe in love And I say I love your love action Lust's just a distraction No talking, just looking Watching your love action I love your love action Lust's just a distraction No talking, just looking Watching your love action I love your love action Lust's just a distraction No talking - I'm just checking To see if someone out there Is really reading all this |

Been out all night, I needed a bite, I thought I'd put a record on
I reached for the one with the ultra-modern label, and wondered where the light had gone It had a futuristic cover, lifted straight from Buck Rogers The record was so black it had to be a con The autochanger switched as I filled my sandwich And futuristic sounds warbled off and on The black hit of space It's the one without a face It's the one that doesn't fit You can only see the flip The black hit of space Sucking in the human race How can it stay at the top When it's swallowed all the shops As the song climbed the charts, the others disappeared Til there was nothing but it left to buy It got to number one, then into minus figures Though nobody could understand why The black hit of space It's the one without a face It's the one that doesn't fit You can only see the flip The black hit of space Sucking in the human race How can it stay at the top When it's swallowed all the shops I couldn't stand this bland sound any more so I walked towards my deck to turn it off All I could see was the B-side of the disc which had assumed a doughnut shape with the label on the outside rim I reached for the arm which was less than one micron long but weighed more than Saturn and time stood still I knew I had to escape but every time I tried to flee, the record was in front of me The black hit of space Get James Burke on the case It's the hit that's never gone Time stops when you put it...(on) |

When you fall into your seat, you know you feel you might be dying
As the breath rasps in and out, of your burning throat You can't control your lungs because you're so tired You're half awake with one arm in your coat Well thank God that there is someone there to drive you You know you couldn't make it on your own He helps you through the door You sit down on the floor And you're asleep before you are alone Your life is like a schedule You run to meet the bills No one's awake to tell you Life kills Your life is like a schedule You run to meet the bills No one's awake to tell you Life kills For a while it seems exhaustion has subsided The day is over and the moon is high But your period of work is predecided Funny how the hours of freedom seem to fly Well thank God that there is someone there to drive you You know you couldn't make it on your own He helps you in the door You sit down as before Another shift to pay another loan Your life is like a schedule You run to meet the bills No one's awake to tell you Life kills Your life is like a schedule You run to meet the bills No one's awake to tell you Life kills Your life is like a schedule You run to meet the bills No one's awake to tell you Life kills Your life is like a schedule You run to meet the bills No one's awake to tell you Life kills |

Someone stopped the clock when we should have started early
If we miss the morning meeting our lives will be in danger Someone's trying to stop us, there is someone in our party It is someone with a grudge and they won't let us reach the border Our lives are in his hands, we pay with Krugerands The currency of pain to help us leaving While back in our homeland the ones who make a stand Are taken from their homes and no one hears of them again I felt I had to come here, I thought things would be better The situation's changed but I find I'm still resented Someone wants my job it is someone in this building Someone's spreading rumours and I don't feel I can stay here I think I'm going north and now's the time to leave The people there they say are good to strangers And if I do my best and try to settle in I'm sure I can be just like someone's neighbour I'm sure I can be just like someone's neighbour |

A crow and a baby
Had an affair The result was a landslide The result was a dare The result was a baby Who wanted it all Moved out of the doll's house Moved out of the hall With one wing on the town and a gleam in an eye of red Said "My father was a crow, now I want all fathers dead Find the fathers of this world, treat them as a fatal foe Put them in the deepest hole, then cover the pit with snow" With one wing on the town And a gleam in an eye of red I'm just trying to tell you what you'll come up against If you venture from my side, If you think you're so mature You will end up in a field, you will be someone's manure Mushrooms growing from your back Feeding some damn carrion bird Do you want to contribute To the corruption of the world? With one wing on the town And a gleam in an eye of red A crow and a baby Had an affair My dream was the baby The crow was your hair Parts of me love parts of you That at least is obvious Give my baby back to me You must see it's only just With one wing on the town And a gleam in an eye of red With one wing on the town And a gleam in an eye of red With one wing on the town And a gleam in an eye of red |

Speaking of which, what is your choice
Your conversation will suffice I feel the need that's known to all Better use it up before the levels fall You can take me back to the primal drive You can carry on until we arrive Hypnotised inside Now I'm not young and you're not old I'd rather purchase than be sold Crazed friends so bold It's not easy to conceal When you're so touchable People will hide indifference Just to be touchable They still emit split second screams When they are touchable Under the surface just for kicks Sincerely touchable You say it's okay, but what do I feel Guilt, compassion, or Achilles Heel Little feet march down grey matter hill Then panic occurs, no seeds to spill What's the matter now Please look up and speak Your spirit's wilting and your flesh is weak Eight days a week I can't imagine what'll happen now I wonder when and I wonder how The end will come It's not easy to conceal When you're so touchable People will hide indifference Just to be touchable It's not easy to conceal When you're so touchable People will hide indifference Just to be touchable They still emit split second screams When they are touchable Under the surface just for kicks Sincerely touchable The final answer to all our fears Abrupt conclusion to all our years Still touchable but no one hears They carry on hypnotised inside |

Ok, ready, let's do it...
Listen to the voice of Buddha Saying stop your sericulture Little people like your offspring Boiled alive for some Gods stocking Buddha's watching, Buddha's waiting Just because the kid's an orphan Is no excuse for thoughtless slaying People don't forget this torture Just because you call her mother Doesn't mean that she's your better Once more with the voice of Buddha He'll say carry on your slaughter Who cares for the little children You may slice with no conviction Blind revenge on a blameless victim Listen to the voice of Buddha Saying stop your sericulture He'll say carry on your slaughter Who cares for the little children You may slice with no conviction Blind revenge on a blameless victim Listen to the voice of Buddha Listen to the voice of Buddha Listen to the voice of Buddha |

The way it was in the past
A long, long time ago Before staff levels dropped They used to listen to the radio And listen to the DJ's talk About the songs they didn't know As if it really mattered Hit-pick or phone-in show I don't want you to go tonight Ten thousand watts of power News headlines on the hour tonight Our music beats the best You just don't need the rest tonight Once I couldn't care at all But I can feel the ratings fall tonight And 20 years ago No-one seemed to care The people must have known The DJ's role was only there To fill in space between the songs That talk of love and other things As if they didn't matter Automatic stations came And sent them all away And now I'm left alone I haven't got a word to say And you're the one who makes the choice To turn me on or turn me off But now it really matters Hit-pick or phone-in show I don't want you to go tonight Ten thousand watts of power News headlines on the hour tonight Our music beats the best You just don't need the rest tonight Once I couldn't care at all But I can feel the ratings fall tonight Hit-pick or phone-in show I don't want you to go tonight Ten thousand watts of power News headlines on the hour tonight Our music beats the best You just don't need the rest tonight Ten thousand watts of power News headlines on the hour tonight |

(Accuracy is NOT guaranteed) I take one look at you It leaves me breathless I see your dream's come true You're not so restless Or light, or bright Marianne One day I might not care What happens to me Your lack of sympathy Fails to disturb me I've got a life of my own I remember the day I thought we couldn't lose Running round the garden In your mother's shoes Playing silly sisters And drinking green tea On a cold autumn day Someone's car had broken down The best of summer ends When you give a celebration We can leave but we can't really go on It would spoil the celebration Add it up, all that's left is a space in your life That goes on as before One day I might not care What happens to me Your lack of sympathy Fails to disturb me I've got a life of my own Add it up, all that's left is a space in your life That goes on as before Marianne Add it up, all that's left is a space in your life That goes on as before Marianne Add it up, all that's left is a space in your life That goes on as before Marianne Add it up, all that's left is a space in your life At the end of the world Marianne |

There's something in your soul that makes me feel so old
In fact I think I've died about six hundred times There's less of me now and more of me then I'm moving back to the age of men Jump off the tarmac there's no stagecoach speed limit Outside the office hangs the man on the gibbet Soft lenses, grow to glasses Small world, dimly seen through cataracts Your program, newspaper So they say Rumour spread by word of mouth, jump onto the escalator Press the button on the lift, raise the dust on old stair carpets Endless treads like waves of regret Now it seems I'm going madder Falling off this rotting ladder Soft lenses, grow to glasses Small world, dimly seen through cataracts Jump onto the escalator Press the button on the lift Raise the dust on old stair carpets Endless treads like waves of regret Now it seems I'm going madder Falling off this rotting ladder Your program, newspaper So they say Rumour spread by word of mouth Jump onto the escalator Press the button on the lift Raise the dust on old stair carpets Endless treads like waves of regret Now it seems I'm going madder Falling through this rotting ladder There's something in your soul that makes me feel so old In fact I think I've died about six hundred times There's less of me now and more of me then I'm moving back to the age of men Jump off the tarmac there's no stagecoach speed limit Outside the office hangs the man on the gibbet Jump off the tarmac there's no stagecoach speed limit Outside the office swings the man on the gibbet |

Spoken Intro :Why in just a few moments we're off to Hawaii to join Steve McGarrett and the team for tonight's adventure
Nine o'clock flight from Hawaii The Trident is just touching down We're waiting here on the tarmac McGarrett is wearing a frown He's here to help with a problem A blood-spattered curse on our land Please cast your eye over this map, sir This business is quite out of hand The circus of death is approaching It's pathway is painted in red Before it the frightened and helpless Behind it a trail of the dead The narcotic that forges their union Is a substance known only to one To the clown it is known as dominion It's a secret that he'll give to none The drug which gives the clown power Means the circus can never be stopped And his dream can go on unhindered Till the last human being has dropped Spare me and my family, I've done you no wrong Go away, please let us be, I've known you for too long |
