It couldn't be clearer
I'll apologise right now In spectacular language I think you'll understand somehow If I need to reach you We've got to walk a path where love's forgotten (Love) Diamond skin and clear blue eyes that never see (Love) Every past needs broken time Remind me how it used to be (We blame Love) Heart is beating, mind is thinking Body's moving (We blame Love) Don't say another thing It's dangerous it's deadly just like... The secret is out Beyond belief eternally Naked and recognised You see I'm just a boy who can't say... (Love) Is the purest energy In my philosophy (Love) Every past needs broken time Remind me how it used to be (We blame Love) Fascination, strange attraction Chain reaction (We blame Love) For we are wild for truth It's dangerous it's deadly just like... It's just a clever trick I know, bewitching me But seeing you clouds my eyes And if it rains then let it rain on me (Love) Diamond skin and clear blue eyes that never see (Love) Every past needs broken time Remind me how it used to be (We blame Love) Heart is beating, mind is thinking Body's moving (We blame Love) I haven't seen your face today It's dangerous it's deadly just like...

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 |

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 Freak You're looking for someone to blame That freak of nature's here again |

Once there was a day
We were together all the way An endless path unbroken But now there is a time A torture less sublime Our souls are locked and frozen Once we were years ahead but now those thoughts are dead Let me go All hopeless fantasies are making fools of me Let me go I walk alone and yet I never say goodbye Let me go A change of heart a change of mind and heaven fell that night Let me go I tried but could not bring The best of everything Too breathless then to wonder I died a thousand times Found guilty of no crime Now everything is thunder Daytime all I want is Nighttime I don't need the Daytime all I want is Nighttime I don't need the The best years of our lives The hope of it survives The facts of life unspoken The only game in town I'll turn the last card down And now the bank is broken Found guilty of no crime They were the best years of our lives I'll turn the last card down |

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 |

The view outside
The best kept secret No one can reach it No one believes It's in the air A chance to run now So here I come now It's time to leave Who can remember just who is the leader A soft spoken showman, accepted, encouraged While under the cities the shuffle of money is speaking The power of choice is the power of reason The power of voice is the key to the world So now just count the times that the chill in their words Leaves you freezing Tell me you're safe That I'm not dreaming No night thoughts screaming No face in the rain For the first time The view is clearing No longer fearing The shadow of pain A certain smile conceals the highest card Beyond this place the rains are falling hard Someone somewhere The voice you never hear Salvation ringing clear Always ahead Please help me now To see the blazing light The stars return tonight Burning so red Who can remember just who is the leader A soft spoken showman, accepted, encouraged While under the cities the shuffle of money is speaking The power of choice is the power of reason The power of voice is the key to the world So now just count the times that the chill in their words Leaves you freezing A certain smile conceals the highest card Beyond this place the rains are falling hard Falling hard Falling hard |

Sun crazed in our room
It was an endless afternoon It seemed that we were so immune The nights were stronger and longer I fell on my pillow saying "Tell the world that lucky's calling Gold dust falling Here in Action Town" Sunset now Sunset now Sunset now Sunset now Blade flew into town In time to watch the sun go down He said the new prince must be found The message shattered our windows We know it was over, saying "Tell the boys that we're not handing Over any part Of Action Town" Sunset now Sunset now Sunset now now! now! Pay out, run out, work out, die out Action Town (Action Town) If you have the name Then you win the game In Action Town (Action Town) Bang bang you're dead It's raining bread Sunset now Now that we have gone Do we have strength to carry on It seems like all our sun has shone It seems our dice are as cold as ice But something in my heart keeps saying Tell the world that lucky's coming Lines are humming Here comes Action Town" Sunset now (to fade) |

Does he know the way out of here Or will she again interfere It's happening all over again Lady Ice and Mr. Hex She'll leave you could he'll make you flex They disappear without a trace Accelerate and take your place The creep's arrived he's in your home Like all the dreams you've never known He's standing by to steal your luck He's spotted you you're panic struck Stop! Stop! They're standing either side of you They guide you but they block your view Lady Ice with medium cool Will set you up she's watching you She'll trip you out and trap you in Strain every nerve to make you spin He'll pick you up and make you strong Thrust up, boost on, the man is gone Stop! Does he know the way out of here Or will she again interfere It's happening all over again Look! They made me a promise today They know that I can't go away It's happening all over again |

The view outside
The best kept secret No one can reach it No one believes It's in the air A chance to run now So here I come now It's time to leave Who can remember just who is the leader A soft spoken showman, accepted, encouraged While under the cities the shuffle of money is speaking The power of choice is the power of reason The power of voice is the key to the world So now just count the times that the chill in their words Leaves you freezing Tell me you're safe That I'm not dreaming No night thoughts screaming No face in the rain For the first time The view is clearing No longer fearing The shadow of pain A certain smile conceals the highest card Beyond this place the rains are falling hard Someone somewhere The voice you never hear Salvation ringing clear Always ahead Please help me now To see the blazing light The stars return tonight Burning so red Who can remember just who is the leader A soft spoken showman, accepted, encouraged While under the cities the shuffle of money is speaking The power of choice is the power of reason The power of voice is the key to the world So now just count the times that the chill in their words Leaves you freezing A certain smile conceals the highest card Beyond this place the rains are falling hard Falling hard Falling hard |

Once there was a day
We were together all the way An endless path unbroken But now there is a time A torture less sublime Our souls are locked and frozen Once we were years ahead, but now those thoughts are dead Let me go (Let me go) All hopeless fantasies are making fools of me Let me go I walk alone, and yet never say goodbye Let me go (Let me go) Change of heart, a change of mind, and heaven fell that night Let me go I tried but could not bring The best of everything Too breathless then to wonder I died a thousand times Found guilty of no crime Now everything is thunder Daytime, all I want is Nighttime, I don't need the Daytime, all I want is Nighttime, I don't need the Daytime, all I want is Nighttime, I don't need the Daytime, all I want is Nighttime, I don't need the Got to, got to, got to, got to let me go Ba-da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da Ba-da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da Ba-da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da Ba-da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da Ba-da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da Ba-da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da Ooh Once we were years ahead, but now those thoughts are dead Let me go (Let me go) All hopeless fantasies are making fools of me Let me go I walk alone, and yet never say goodbye Let me go (Let me go) Change of heart, a change of mind, and heaven fell that night Let me go The best years of our lives The hope of it survives The facts of life unspoken The only game in town I'll turn the last card down And now the bank is broken Broken Ba-da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da Ba-da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da Ba-da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da Ba-da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da Ba-da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da Ba-da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da Ooh |

Who'll stop the rain
Who'll stop the action East side west side The world moves on I heard a rumour that fires were started Flame in the streets and tension uncharted Bigger than life at the edge of the city Ashes and diamonds gleaming with pity Who'll stop the rain Who'll stop the action East side west side The world moves on Between midnight and dawn you slept through the deadlines Believe in me and we'll hit the tall headlines Look up and laugh be happy today Here come the waves count three pray Who'll stop the rain Who'll stop the action East side west side The world moves on A global affair in big house U.S.A. A moving violation angels over Broadway The next voice you hear will be the main attraction The next time we love standby for action Meet me tonight and love me for ever Let's be happy let's be famous whatever the weather The rain must fall and night time is calling Golden boy and golden girl it's a great day in the morning Who'll stop the rain Who'll stop the action East side west side The world moves on |

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) |

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 |

You were working as a waitress in a cocktail bar
When I met you I picked you out, I shook you up And turned you around Turned you into someone new Now five years later on you've got the world at your feet Success has been so easy for you But don't forget it's me who put you where you are now And I can put you back down too. Don't. Don't you want me? You know I can't believe it when I hear that you won't see me Don't. Don't you want me? You know I don't believe you when you say that you don't need me It's much too late to find When you think you've changed your mind You'd better change it back or we will both be sorry Don't you want me, baby? Don't you want me? Oh! Don't you want me, baby? Don't you want me? Oh! I was working as a waitress in a cocktail bar That much is true But even then I knew I'd find a much better place Either with or without you The five years we have had have been such good at times I still love you But now I think it's time I lived my life on my own I guess it's just what I must do Don't. Don't you want me? You know I can't believe it when I hear that you won't see me Don't. Don't you want me? You know I don't believe you when you say that you don't need me It's much too late find When you think you've changed your mind You'd better change it back or we will both be sorry Don't you want me, baby? Don't you want me? Oh! Don't you want me, baby? Don't you want me? Oh! [REPEAT x3] Don't you want me, baby? Don't you want me? Oh! Don't you want me, baby? Don't you want me? Oh! |

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 |

All day
Hiding from the sun Waiting for the golden one Waiting for your fame After the parade has gone Outside was a happy place Every face had a smile like the golden face For a second Your knuckles white as your fingers curl The shot that was heard around the world For a second It took seconds of your time to take his life It took seconds It took seconds of your time to take his life It took seconds It took seconds of your time to take his life It took seconds of your time to take his life Seconds Seconds It took seconds of your time to take his life It took seconds It took seconds of your time to take his life It took seconds For a second It took seconds of your time to take his life It took seconds It took seconds of your time to take his life It took seconds For a second It took seconds of your time to take his life Seconds of your time to take his life For a second For a second For a second |

And when it hurts you know
They love to tell you How they warned you They say "Don't be surprised At someone's lies" They think they taunt you But if you can stand the test You know your worst is better Than their best And so you stand here With the years ahead Potentially calling With open heart Or with a spirit dead You walk on Love is the reason Faith or treason Playing a part End concealing Try revealing Open your heart Dare to feel Take the chance Make the deal Being an island Shying from trying Seems the easy way Such an easy way But there's no future Without tears Love is the reason Faith or treason Playing a part End concealing Try revealing Open your heart But if you can stand the test You know your worst is better than their best Love is the reason Faith or treason Playing a part End concealing Try revealing Open your heart |

Put your hand in a party wave
Pass around Make a shroud pulling combs through a backwash frame Find the copies in a carbon mount Pass around Stroke a pocket with a print of a laughing sound Get around town Get around town Where the people look good Where the music is loud Get around town No need to stand proud Add your voice to the sound of the crowd The shades from a pencil peer Pass around A fold in an eyelid brushed with fear The lines on a compact guide Pass around A hat with alignment worn insde Get around town Get around town Where the people look good Where the music is loud Get around town No need to stand proud Add your voice to the sound of the crowd Get in line now Get in line now Stay in time with the rhythm and rhyme Get around town Get around town Where the people look good Where the music is loud Get around town No need to stand proud Add your voice to the sound of the crowd Get around town Get around town Where the people look good Where the music is loud Get around town No need to stand proud Add your voice to the sound of the crowd Get around town Get around town Where the people look good Where the music is loud Get around town No need to stand proud Add your voice to the sound of the crowd |

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 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 |
