John Wilson

From beyond a message has come
Slowly the last forever has begun
Turn around its revolution
Divine signs must move with the times
Even so they try to mystify
Communications fading with the past

We're sending a cypher a code to be cracked
By a curious someone we need to attract

Pray for me
(Pray for me)
The message endlessly
(The message endlessly)
Repeating constantly
(Repeating constantly)
Can anyone hear ?
Pray for me
(Pray for me)
Be a part of me
As I disappear
(As I disappear)
This is my plea

Change my life till nothing remains
Let the blood run through my veins again
An immaculate injection, a shot of something new
All out faith we have to replace
We are out of time and out of space
A new beginning in a different world

Sister love extinguish all desire
Never born and never died
Take my words from my heart
Help me make a new start today
(Reset my life)
Brother beloved this is my devotion
Everlasting absolute
Give me the strength to see
Believe that you'll receive someway
Believe and let us pray

Pray for me
The message endlessly
Repeating constantly
Can anyone hear ?
Pray for me
(Pray for me)
Be a part of me
As I disappear
This is my plea


Sister love extinguish all desire
Never born and never died
Take my words from my heart
Help me make a new start today
(Reset my life)
Brother beloved this is my devotion
Everlasting absolute
Give me the strength to see
Believe that you'll receive someway
Believe and let us pray

Pray for me (repeat 3 times)

But when the fire goes out
The dark starts moving in
And that's the truth
Right now you're on the stand
And I feel like the judge
Who needs the proof?
The slaves of truth
It was on every face in town
But I would not understand
Waiting for the news
Will it ever come my way?
(Repeat)
I won't be beat, not in a thousand years
I'll never lose, if I can prove you're not the one
Just leave me now, you're making my blood run cold
The word is out, so go, your feet won't touch the ground
Now that she has gone
I've got to shake the pain, act like a man
The sweetness that's inside
Will slowly die away
(Repeat)
(Repeat)
Who do you think you are? You're making a fool of me
Make no mistake, this is no fake, this is the end
Just shut your mouth, make room for someone new
So guess who's back, it's happy Jack, and that's no lie
(Repeat)
How was I to know?
So discreet, no-one speaks
Take the word from here
If you play you've got to pray
(Repeat)
(Repeat)
Who do you think you are? You're making a fool of me
Make no mistake, this is no fake, this is the end
I won't be beat, not in a thousand years
Just leave me now, you make my blood run cold
The word is, the word is out

I'm waiting for someone to find me
Someone to pick me up
And make some use of me
In this life of wild adventure
There's so much I could give
Now that's what I call positive

The words that I've read
Keep going round my head
Been driving me crazy for years

Everybody's talking
But I find to hard to hear
They're all explaining something new
(It happens every day)
A new inspiration that can change my way of life
Another big idea
And then they disappear

Undercover at the airport
I saw your smiling face
But I don't have a place to go
So leave a flower or you can fax me
This counterculture's won
The word more dangerous than the gun

This sinister spin
The state that I'm in
The words that I've read
Keep going round my head
Been driving me crazy for years

Everybody's talking
But I find to hard to hear
They're all explaining something new
(It happens every day)
A new inspiration that can change my way of life
Another big idea
And then they disappear

Some will lead and some will follow
That's the way it goes
For all we know another big idea

Everybody's talking
But I find to hard to hear
They're all explaining something new
(It happens every day)
A new inspiration that can change my way of life
Another big idea
And then they disappear

There's a bookstore in town where no-one reads
And those who remember will disappear
I hate to see them getting old
But they're better dead than read
I've just discovered something new
America called and put cables on us
Now it's crazy like Disneyland
The return of the soft machine
The return of the soft machine

Take a look what's going on
The entertainment has begun
Driving in a golden car
Bigger than America

Everybody can be a fool
You can't see it but you know it's coming
The cars are flying and the people dying
Now we're back on the wild side again
Africa screams hot, hard and mean
In Europe the crimes are in the streets
So don't cry baby killer, daddy's gone a-hunting
And you know he'll be back again

The return of the soft machine
And you know he'll be back again
Tell the truth and damn the lies
Crushed by the fortune's famous eyes
Driving in a golden car
Bigger than America

Loadin' up an' havin' fun
The magic circle is the magic gun
Shooting for a golden star
Bigger than America
(repeat 6 times)

I was thirty-seven
You were seventeen
You were half my age
The youth I'd never seen
Unlikely people meeting in a dream
Heaven only knows the way it should have been

Here today my tomorrow
Where you lead I will follow
All that kissing
No passion missing
Come live with me
Kiss the boys goodbye

Dinner parties followed
And all my age implies
My friends began to talk
I began to realise
If half the things they say
Are quarter true of me
Then how can I eclipse the youth
You gave to set me free

There was something in your smile
That was hard to reconcile
The time had come to testify to reason
Though years will not erase
Remembrance of those days
At least there's no submission to hearts treason

Here today my tomorrow
No more shame only sorrow
All that kissing
There's something missing
Come live with me
Kiss the boys goodbye




Now there's nothing left to cry for
And there's nowhere left to go
Just another hopeless fight
But how were we to know
The strong are sometimes wrong
But the weak are never free
The choice we made we can't evade
Don't try to follow me

Here today my tomorrow
No more pain only sorrow
All that kissing
There's something missing
Come live with me
Kiss the boys goodbye
Come live with me
Kiss the boys goodbye

I was thirty-seven
You were seventeen

Call me in the morning just before the breakfast show
We'll watch TV and analyse the weather
Before we go to work we'll have planned the day ahead
We'll while away the working day together
Work all day or work all night it's all the same
If you want to play
Some are nurses
Some steal purses
Some are workers
Some are not
It is time for a party
Liberation for the nation now!

Crushed by the wheels of industry

There's a party going on that's going to change the way we live
but how do we know we've even been invited
Now the invitation's waiting and the table is reserved
So just play it cool and don't get excited
Work all day or work all night it's all the same
Will we ever change
It's vocation or vacation
Some are workers
some are not
It is time for a party
Syncopation for the nation now

Crushed by the wheels of industry


Breaking in the future just before the week is up
They can do it but it's going to take some money
Have what you desire if and when you see the fact
They will lead us to the land of milk and honey
Work all day or work all night it's all the same
If you want the pay
Some drive tankers
Some are bankers
Some are workers
Some are not
It is time for a party
Liberation for the nation now!

How demanding life can be
With a taste for luxury
It's such a modern way to live
A new hotel for the heartbroken
A bright new generation
Running out of time
Step up for the promised land
Pay today and pay tomorrow

Just like home from home
A timeshare in the stars

We're living in a divided world
It's our own creation
It's all too much
We're out of touch
In this united nation
Define the styles, wait for a while
Here comes a new sensation
Let's get it right before tonight
We are designing Heaven

I think at last I've found
A system for success
But the last thing on my mind
Is to arrest my own excess
The things that really count
Don't seem to have a price
Discover what you're missing
Now that it's your turn you can't wait

I say it's up to you
You say it's up to me

We're living in a divided world
It's our own creation
It's all too much
We're out of touch
In this united nation
Define the styles, wait for a while
Here comes a new sensation
Let's get it right before tonight
We are designing Heaven

I'm high enough to see
Nothing to lose
I feel relief
And disbelief
Now I can see

Did you ever wonder
Just how easy it would be ?
To try to rearrange
Your state of mind
If nature had a choice
think you know what it would be
Let us to a woman or a man
Try humanity

We're living in a divided world
It's our own creation
It's all too much
We're out of touch
In this united nation
Define the styles, wait for a while
Here comes a new sensation
Let's get it right before tonight
We are designing Heaven

Please don't be afraid
Believe what you see
Whisper it a hundred times
A lesson soon to be forgotten
If you feel that life has passed you by

(Dive) Come with me we'll flow into tomorrow
(Dive) We can close our eyes and disappear
(Dive) Just below the threshold of detection
Is something you can't touch, taste, see or...

Here it is - The great escape
Slip with me into the shadows
What would life be without me ?
Master of your fate between two worlds

Don't you see that time is slipping by ?

(Dive) Come with me we'll flow into tomorrow
(Dive) We can close our eyes and disappear
(Dive) Just below the threshold of detection
Is something you can't touch, taste, see or hear

Come to me be my inspiration
We've got to rise above
You've got to dive for love
You've got to dive for love

Come to me and we can touch the sky

(Dive) Come with me we'll flow into tomorrow
(Dive) We can close our eyes and disappear
(Dive) Just below the threshold of detection
Is something you can't touch, taste, see or hear

(Dive) You know that love all pull you under
(Dive) They say the time for miracles is past
(Dive) Hold my hand and dive into the future
The time for us to rise is here at last

Rise
Dive

You spoke softly my name
Not wishing to be heard by anyone
Your gravity take me and pulls me
Into a mysterious world
A sense of expectation when you leave
It's time to go
There goes the girl with everything
She's all pretend, for all I know
She's saves her tears for years and years
Tied to someone else in effort to be free

Who do I believe ?
As the letters in your name wrap around me like a chain
Do I believe ?
As the words rearrange there is nothing I can change
I believe
The madness in your eyes holds tomorrow's sweet surprise
Believe
We can't tell the truth and live with this lie and still survive

That one insane second should never have been
All washed out, too scared to scream
I might as well say it, of course it's untrue
It happened to me, It can happen to you

There's no defence against a dream
I'm falling but there's no-one there to see
It can't be me

I've saved my tears for years and years
Tied to someone else in an effort who be free

Who do I believe ?
As the letters in your name wrap around me like a chain
Do I believe ?
As the words rearrange there is nothing I can change
I believe
The madness in your eyes holds tomorrow's sweet surprise
Believe
We can't tell the truth and live with this lie and still survive

(Everybody move to prove the groove)
Have you heard it on the news
About this fascist groove thang
Evil men with racist views
Spreading all across the land
Don't just sit there on your ass
Unlock that funky chaindance
Brothers, sisters shoot your best
We don't need this fascist groove thang
Brothers, sisters, we don't need this fascist groove thang

History will repeat itself
Crisis point we're near the hour
Counterforce will do no good
Hot you ass I feel your power
Hitler proves that funky stuff
Is not for you and me girl
Europe's an unhappy land
They've had their fascist groove thang

Brothers, sisters, we don't need this fascist groove thang

Democrats are out of power
Across that great wide ocean
Reagan's president elect
Fascist god in motion
Generals tell him what to do
Stop your good time dancing
Train their guns on me and you
Fascist thang advancing

Brothers, sisters, we don't need this fascist groove thang

Sisters, brothers lend a hand
Increase our population
Grab that groove thang by the throat
And throw it in the ocean
You're real tonight you move my soul
Let's cruise out of the dance war
Come out your house and dance your dance
Shake that fascist groove thang
(Shake it!)

Break or be broken
A sensitive target
A thirty day boy in
A twenty day city

Nothing is easy
You know their methods
(Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah)
Just for a moment
That beats creation
Waiting for the flash to come

A large map of nowhere
A statue of paper
Nothing can stop them
They're all white and spiteful

It's not important

Use any language
Before it gets too late

Call for a doctor

For hours and hours
They built us a tower
You know how men are
We fell to the power
Stay with the money
'Til five to midnight's past

Twenty years later
There's someone to see you
Your prayers are answered
He's saying something


Do you know something?

I don't remember

Hot as a furnace
Wing to wing contact


This happy solution
Wouldn't it rock you?
The choice of a weapon
The first and the last word
Waiting for the flash to come


It's not important
Use any language
Before it gets too late
Call for a doctor
Waiting for the heat to come

You know how men are
How men are, how men are



Do you know something?
I don't remember

Hot as a furnace
Wing to wing contact

Underneath the bridge

The glowing streets
Light up the heavy sky
Out of nowhere
I return to you
Even as we meet
This curious girl
Fell back to sleep
This time for keeps
But I won't surrender

Find some way
I think she's going to pay


On that day I knew
(Cold heart, flamedown)

It was me and you
Burn out, flamedown)

Under burning sky
Look up, flamedown)

You shall carry me

Along the streets
Awake and paralysed

Take the slow lane
We'll enjoy the view

As we move along

The girl will sing

This curious song
And she won't speak
But she will remember

What's ahead
And what is left unsaid

Caught up in the heat
Burn out, flamedown)
Out on judgement street
(Watch out, flamedown)

I see no way out
(Hold out, flamedown)
I can hear you shout
(Move out, flamedown)

Chorus 3:
Hold on don't give in
Stay out, flamedown)

To the flame within
(Burn out, flamedown)

Want you to agree
(No doubt, flamedown)
When you talk to me
(Shout out, flamedown)

Freak
There's a hole in me that's ten feet wide
There's a window come and look inside
Tell me everything you see
Because some very strange things have been happening to me
To he rhythm of the rain I'm exploring the pain
I slip and slide my own way through
Now I feel like I'm having a ball
But I've got a head full of nothing at all
I'm a ... Freak
The people come and people say
Another day just thrown away
Freak
You listen up to what's been said
Shake those dreams from your sleep head
Freak
It's getting harder to be me
I feel like I'm a refugee
Freak
You're looking for someone to blame
That freak of nature's here again

I'm thrilled to discover there is a lot to forget
I've done so many things I'll never regret
The time has come to hesitate
I've got to make a move so I think I'll wait
I know I'm not stupid but I just can't see
Why everybody thinks there's something wrong with me.
There's nothing in this world can alter my direction
I need to be a freak for my own protection

Freak
The people come and people say
Another day just thrown away
Freak
You listen up to what's been said
Shake those dreams from your sleep head
Freak
It's getting harder to be me
I feel like I'm a refugee
Freak
You're looking for someone to blame
That freak of nature's here again

Listen now and listen to me
This is more or less the way it will be
You're an X and I'm a Y
Just take a look up to the sky...
Around this planet shining bright
I'm just a lonely satellite
I'm as far away as far can be
I'm scared of the 21st century

Freak

The people come and people say
Another day just thrown away
Freak
You listen up to what's been said
Shake those dreams from your sleep head
Freak
It's getting harder to be me
I feel like I'm a refugee

Look ahead, on the screen,
Slim perfect creatures and they're just 16
Their eyes meet, this is it,
The contact so much more than words can transmit
He stands up, she gives in,
Their first encounter, their embrace within
A short ride, they arrive,
There is no doubt that true love will survive

We are the geisha boys
Doing it wrong again
They are the chosen ones
Doing it right
Here come the temple girls
Looking for sanctuary
Naked as advertised
For the first time

If you turn away from the screen
Another version can be seen
She is black, and he is white
They love each other but they also fight
Back from work, she's not home
Another evening angry, all alone
She arrives and he departs
Misunderstandings, then the breakdown starts

Here we are late at night
We are both refugees
There is no easy way
Let it be right
Anything's possible
If you can fake it, but
The wrong place is anywhere
If you're not right

We are the geisha boys
Doing it wrong again
They are the chosen ones
Doing it right
Here come the temple girls
Looking for sanctuary
Naked as advertised
For the first time

There's not much that you can do
Choose either one of them it could be you
The first time could be the only time
The odds against you and your hopes decline
Do it right, or do it wrong
Console yourself that either won't last long
Geisha boys or temple girls
Make contact or remain in separate worlds

We are the geisha boys
Doing it wrong again
They are the chosen ones
Doing it right
Here come the temple girls
Looking for sanctuary
Naked as advertised
For the first time

Here we are late at night
We are both refugees
There is no easy way
Let it be right
Anything's possible
If you can fake it, but
The wrong place is anywhere
If you're not right

We are the geisha boys
Doing it wrong again
They are the chosen ones
Doing it right
Here come the temple girls
Looking for sanctuary
Naked as advertised
For the first time

Here we are late at night
We are both refugees
There is no easy way
Let it be right
Anything's possible
If you can fake it, but
The wrong place is anywhere
If you're not right

I'm working every hour but I'm heading for a crash
I'm sick of living fast and running short of cash
Tell me what's so bad about wanting to feel so good
I want a better life and I'd like to buy one if I could

I've got my key
I've got my key to the world
Liquidity don't bother me
I've got my key to the world

They'll send me all their money and all I have to do is sign
Living in a big way a winner all the time
In just five golden hours I'd bought myself a car
I sold my soul for charge plate gold we know who you are

My key to the world

It's all too easy
Buying items on your wish list it's easier than you think
But trying to fill the luxury gap has pushed me to the brink
To friends I am a legend the man who had them beat
But to the credit agencies I'm Mr. Obsolete ---- delete!

My key to the world
