TO CUT A LONG STORY SHORT

Soldier is turning
see him through white light
running from strangers
see you in the valley
war upon war
heat upon heat
To cut a long story short
I lost my mind
Sitting on a park bench
years away from fighting
to cut a long story short
I lost my mind
Standing in the dark
oh I was waiting for man to come
I am beautiful and clean
and so very very young
to be standing in the street
to be taken by someone
Questions questions
give me no answers
that's all they ever give me
questions questions
oh look at the strange boy
he finds it hard existing
to cut a long story short
I lost my mind

THE FREEZE

Blue sing La Lune
sing Lagoon
the visions are making me stay
the art is pretending it's art
the quetion is where do you pay ?
Unpack my case one more time
I'll cancel my train once again
destiny give a day
erogenous zones win again

MUSCLEBOUND

We're building fires that will burn until morning
the smell of books and hot stone surround us
Tough is the leather that strapped to my skin
strong are the bonds that we make
We feel the steam as it rises around us
up from the soil that is cracking its back
Tough is the leather that strapped to my skin
strong are the bonds that sing
Work till you're musclebound all night long
Work till you're musclebound all night long
Gotta work till you're musclebound all night long
Gotta work till you're musclebound all night long
We're building fires that will burn until morning
the smell of books and hot stone surround us
Tough is the leather that strapped to my skin
strong are the bonds that we make
To hear a pulsing from chanter to mountain
down through the vein and into the grain
Strong is the shoulder that moves to the time
here is the land it can break
Work till you're musclebound all night long
Work till you're musclebound all night long
Gotta work till you're musclebound all night long
Gotta work till you're musclebound all night long

TOYS

We are the night,
we'll tempt you and turn you on.
Live in our hearts
and play with your man.
Oh these are your toys
hold them and they'll obey,
from blood into life
thy still become your toys.
This is your game
in heaven in your bedroom,
your chivalrous knight
will save you tonight.
They'll look for reasons again and again
let them go,let them go let them go.
You'll have your reason again and again
for letting them go, for letting them go.
Oh stand by the wall,
wach as they shoot you down,
from blood to stone
they still become your toys.
Your toys, your toys.

GLOW

Glow,
take out this foreign heart,
wash oof the sand that seeps out through my eyes,
I've still sleep in my eyes.
Cold,
cold's how we felt so long,
accuse me of crying and speaking of lies.
I've still sleep in my eyes,
I've still sleep in my eyes,
glow like a lover.
Out,
out is the winter pale,
gold rising June in the blue of my eye,
I've still sleep in my eyes.
Glow, this is my family,
send for the soul you can soon realise.
I've still sleep in my eyes,
I've still sleep in my eyes,
glow like a lover.

CHANT NO 1

I checked the time, it was almost time
a curious smell,an intangible crime
I'm washing my clothes,but the stain still grows
cover your eyes,the stain still shows
I feel the gaze against my skin
I feel the gaze against my skin
I know this feeling is a lie
I know this feeling is a lie
there's a guilt within my mind
there's a guilt within my mind
I don't need this pressure on
oh I should question not ignore
oh I should question not ignore
songs are always buried deep
songs are always buried deep
there's a lion in my arms
there is a motion in my arm
oh I should question not ignore
I should believe and not ignore
I don't need this pressure on
you go down,down
pass the talk of town
you go down greek street
then it's underground
well it's Soho life
for this mobile knife
it's the place to shoot
Friday night Beat Route

PAINT ME DOWN

Paint me down
Paint me down
Paint me down
I'm walking into studio
consider strange appeal
paint me in the home
I'm brushing up on sketchbook
designs for love unreal
paint me in the home
oil and skin you'll need to buy it
consider what I mean
she sinks beneath thr moving pictures
prepare the brush for me
I'm craving with this need
Paint me down
Paint me down
Paint me down
I'm soaking up the surface
conceaiving new idea
paint me in the home
she's oiling up her subject
but all still life is here
paint me in the home
all the boys with framed dimension
a cover up on lust
he'll take his pain and paint it over
prepare the brush for me
I'm craving with this need
Paint me down
Paint me down
Paint me down

SHE LOVED LIKE DIAMOND

She ran the risk from unity
obsession dies alone with tragedy
she loved like diamond
she loved like diamond
and cut so hard
she died
a passion course that leads to pain
an acid taste that laced her soul again
she loved like diamond
she loved like diamond
and cut so hard
she died
Another path,I've run them all
The rain has cleared the stains,no trace at all
she loved like diamond
she loved like diamond
and cut so hard
she died

INSTINCTION

Cheap bed,in the red
sleep the words out of your head
cold floor,nice and raw
eat the meat that's on the floor
high tide, some disguise
loving makes the cream taste nice
new shore,final score
fresh demand,I'm wanting more
this might not last too long
so always take it
this might not last too long
so always take it
Reasons,reasons were here from the start
it's my instiction,its' my instiction
reasons, reasons are part of the art
it's my instiction,it's my instiction
you cry,justify
but deep beneath the feelings lie
photo,looking old
memory makes the day feel cold
they've gone,sing your song
walk the flow,ah,too slow
post boom,second doom
stealing cake to eat the moon
this might not last too long
so always take it
Reasons,reasons were here from the start
this might not last too long
so always take it
Reasons,reasons were here from the start
it's my instiction,its' my instiction
reasons, reasons are part of the art
it's my instiction,it's my instiction
stealing cake to eat the moon.

COFFEE CLUB

Matthew didn't stay home,
he went abroad instead
journeys to glory breathing in his head
got caught up with shoe horns
but he could'nt get a shine
Matthew bought the rap
and read the map without a sign.
Contort yourself on disco
with a rap trap white and brown
caught within the spinning
the key-chain gang went down
no coffee club will have the rub
when product is your answer
discuss the man,he'll break your plan
it's deep within the dancer...
Wear it on your back now
and summerise your vision
on the train and through the strain
your own soul decision
well she had a certain shimmer
she sleeps with him tonight
stifled love decides where I'm dreaming...
No coffee club will have the rub
when product is your answer
discuss the man, he'll break your plan
it's deep within the dancer...

PHARAOH

Going alone,going alone,going alone
take that pharaoh.
Going alone,going alone,going alone
take that pharaoh.
When the lights die down
you'll see them go.
Going alone,going alone,going alone
take that pharaoh.
Going alone,going alone,going alone
take that pharaoh.
When the lights die down
you'll see them go.
We are all living for the game
for the game
oh, heaven is weeping.
We are all living for the game
for the game
oh, heaven is weeping.
Please don't let my memory fail me now
'cause I've waited all this time
and I can't run another mile.
Oh, please don't let the world know now
please don't let the world know now
We are all living for the game
for the game
oh, heaven is weeping.
We are all living for the game
for the game
oh, heaven is weeping...

INNOCENCE AND SCIENCE

Water from my mind
breaks the ropes and binds
water comes from inside
and frees me
Innocence and science.
Metal sings my name
poisoned love sustained
metal breaks me inside
and frees me
Innocence and science.
I will never forget.

MISSIONARY

The bells ring out above my room
and announcement of our loss
and in the act three men decide
and indefinite epilogue.
My letters have all gone
a journey that's unsure
a message that was rich
a hand that was poor.
Oh have me breath and let me go
cause I don't want you to know
cause I don't want you to know.
Oh I don't want you, want you, want you.
My own description may have failed
torn from pictures that were saved
along with images from words
that were saved and not erased
the shelves arranged above my head
a memory of my fears
blankets hold the smell of life
and soak the many years.
Oh have me breath and let me go
cause I don't want you to know
cause I don't want you to know.
Oh I don't want you, want you, want you.
Oh missionary are you here.
Sun doesn't burn when the water comes
but water doesn't come like the English rain
they bury their heads for self defence
a marked improvement through diligence
we are alone against our sins
alone against our sins
alone against our sins.
Vacant rooms that are full of men
that sit on the stools awaiting time
discussion leads to little sense
they bury their heads for self defence
we are alone against our sins
alone against our sins
alone against our sins.

PLEASURE

Pleasure's in my car
even in the bar as I'm searching
in the love that's strong
breathing in the song, I'm learning
(I am learning)
Pleasure in the sand
warm within the hand she's holding
it is on the screen
adventures at ninteen, I'm searching
I am searching in my heart
Pleasure in my heart
never let us part for pleasure
work,work today
never let them pay for pleasure
leave or lose her from my heart.
Pleasure is your name
I accept he blame for falling
it is down the phone
living in your home,I'm calling
(I am calling)
Pleasure is a word
when love is left unheard,it's burning
it is on the screen
adventures at ninteen, I'm searching
I am searching in my heart.
Why do you feel like breaking my heart?
What made you feel like breaking my heart tonight?
Now I am crying,now I am crying.
Pleasure in my heart
never let us part for pleasure
work,work today
never let them pay for pleasure
leave or lose her from my heart.

CODE OF LOVE

He put so much into her life
she took so much out of his
it was a crucial assignment
No-one ever asked for this.
It was a little confusing
He thought he knew what to do
but now they're walking in silence
little girl, and soldier blue
Well she wrote you a song saying that she approved
but you didn't understand
and when love comes along it's just a Catcher in The Rye
it's hard to make those long term plans.
Well it's the code of love
you don't understand her.
Well it's the code of love
you could never ask for more.
They made a certain agreement
he's bound to do what he's told
he ran back home with the message
screwed up in a pocket cold.
She sat at home with her reason
a sour note and a tear
but love comes home for the season
breaking down the walls of fears.
Well it's the code of love
you don't understand her.
Well it's the code of love
you could never ask for more.

HEAVEN IS A SECRET

She'll sing a "West-Side" song
you could be the boy in the film
Heaven is a secret.
Where are the "West-Side" boys?
Fighting on the scaffold of love
Scripted pleasures made forever
Easier said then done together
Heaven is a secret
it's a passion
it's a long way over there
far from her arms tonight.
Here is her model home
listen to the call of the wild
Heaven is a secret
facts are awful shame
the shadow of a doubtful affair
scripted pleasures made forever
easier said than done together
Act One's the same as you read in the book
could this be the thing that they shout about?
No more in distress, now it's rushed through the door
and you can't believe that the secret's out
scripted pleasures made forever
easier said than done together.
Heaven is a secret
it's a passion
it's a long way over there
far from her arms tonight.

FOUNDATION

Hello, this is me to you
it's better now we're coming through
and I don't really know just who we are
I'll stay here till my loves full up
so stir this cocktail,shake me up
drink me down and take me from the bar.
We'll build a foundation,
build a foundation
build a foundation,
you know we're gonna build, build it up.
Spent the night in Tumbledown
a hundred miles from west of town
plans were laid , no compromise was made.
Gently up to meet the blue
left a note and signed it "TRUE"
those construction games were all we played.
Oh I know you're gonna give your best
so more or less,gotta put it to the test
don't you know you've got the whole world in your hands.
Surrender up and lay down your arms
the fighting hurts but the loving calms
oh I know you've got the whole world in your hand.
We'll build a foundation,
build a foundation
build a foundation,
you know we're gonna build, build it up.

LIFELINE

Changing her colours she's off to the shore
she rides the soul train and he fight the law
there's a power in his voice and it makes her feel so sure
so live and live in love
one day he'll build a statue with his hands
so gentle when he tries to understand
this subterfuge he never really planned
now you're living in the Lifeline
we're moving
in the Lifeline
we're walking
in the Lifeline
we're throwing
so live and let live in love
exchanging their letters their exits begun
with deathless precision he's aiming his gun
a democracy of sorts that justifies the sun
so live and let live in love
neither has the ghost of a chance
those decisions only can be made once
you never really know just what you're giving
till you're living in the Lifeline
we're moving
in the Lifeline
we're walking
in the Lifeline
we're throwing
He could have built a statue with his hands
So gentle when he tries to understand
you never really know just what you're giving
till you're living in the Lifeline
we're moving
in the Lifeline
we're walking
in the Lifeline
we're throwing to you
but I'm not living

GOLD

Thank you for coming home
I'm sorry that the chairs are all worn
I left them here I could have sworn
these are my salad days
slowly being eaten away
just another play for today
oh but I'm proud of you,but I'm proud of you
there's nothing left to make me feel small
luck has left me standing so tall
gold
always believe in your soul
you've got the power to know
you're indestructable
always believe in,because you are
gold
glad that you're bound to return
there's something I could have learned
you're indestructable,always believe in
after the rush has gone
I hope you find a little more time
remember we were partners in crime
it's only two years ago
the man with the suit and the pace
you know that he was there on the case
now he's in love with you,he's in love with you
and my love is like a prison wall
but you could leave me standing so tall
gold
always believe in your soul
you've got the power to know
you're indestructable
always believe in,because you are
gold
glad that you're bound to return
there's something I could have learned
you're indestructable,always believe in

COMMUNICATION

Communication always leaves in incomplete
the grass is greener,but it's grown beneath my feet
love inspiration is a message on a wing
but I have left in the words you'll never sing
communication let me down
and I'm left here
communication let me down
and I'm left here
telex or tell me but it's always second-hand
I'm incognito but no rendez-vous been planned
dictate or relate I could send it to your home
"return to sender" I could sing it down the phone
I'm sitting and waiting by the telephone
waiting for the bell to ring
short change fumble
dial-a-heart trouble
and I ain't got time for searching through the rubble
communication let me down
and I'm left here
communication let me down
and I'm left here

TRUE

So true
funny how it seems
always in time, but never in line for dreams
head over heels,when toe to toe
this is the sound of my soul
this is the sound
I bought a ticket to the world
but now I've come back again
why do I find it hard to write the next line
when I want the truth to be said
I know this much is true
With a thrill in my head an a pill on my tongue
dissolve the nerves that have just begun
listening to Marvin all night long
this is the sound of my soul
this is the sound
always slipping from my hands
sand's a time of t's own
take your seaside arms and write the next line
oh I want the truth to be said

ONLY WHEN YOU LEAVE

Laying in the after glow
I only want to learn what you know
but now you're leaving
how many hearts must you break?
how many calls must I make?
but now you're leaving
in this world all that I choose has come unbearable
but love is in your touch
oh it's killing me so much
only when tou leave
I'll need to love you
and when the action has all gone
I'm just a little fool enough to need you
fool enough too long
only when you leave, you'll leave in danger
oh I'll make sure that you pay
so give a little passion to a stranger
and take this soul away
I only want to make this things last
so how could this have gone so fast
and now you're leaving
how many times must I learn
it' s only when you've gone that I burn
and now you're leaving
In the end, all that I left has come unbearable
it's hard to change your mind,
so leave it all behind
Only when you leave
I'll need to love you
and when the action has all gone
I'm just a little fool enough to need you
fool enough to long
only when you leave,you'll leave in danger
oh I'll make sure that you pay
so give a little passion to a stranger
and take this soul away
