- A Person Isn't Safe Anywhere These Days
As she parts her greying hair
Voices on the stair
When she turns there's something there.
Like a nightmare from the past
To the sound of splintered glass
Dance the monsters in the mask.
Man of steel
Just standing in the rain.
- All Around
Why do the moonbeams linger when you wake
Why do you hold your silence for other people's sake
Why are the worlds within you whirling round
Why does the hand of love pin you to the ground
Is it getting too profound?
The answer is all around you
Yes it's all around you
Yes it's all around you
- As High As You Can Go
Single file boys
Signposts to the sun
As high as you can go
Lennons and Monroes
Claw their way to the stars
If they knew
And I don't care who you are
Just sign the line and away you fly
- Caution
We have no future, we have no past
We're just drifting ghosts of glass
Brown sugar, ice in our veins
No pressure, no pain
Everybody looks the same to me
Rows and rows of faces on the balcony
I can hear them calling down to me
- Dangerous Land
I am the pride at the heart of a man
I am a refuge in a dangerous land
I am a wall or a line in the sand
I am a gathering
I am a stand
Hold me, hold me
Well who's going to hold me now?
- Free For All
See the wheel turning round
See the wheel turning round
See the mad parade of clowns
Shouting all the others down
Too much lager and juke-box sound
Too much lager and juke-box joviality
Stop the wheel turning round
- Here Today
Don't know what happened
But somebody lost their mind tonight
Not sure what happened
But I don't think I got home tonight
There's blood on my shirt
The clap of thunder and
I see my life go flashing by
The smell of sulfer and
- Home Is Where The Heart Is
So here we are waking
Savages shaking
The road that we're taking
We've walked before
And if these times
Should seal our fate
You won't see me
- In Shreds
I grasp at life's fading light
I need you tonight
I need to be heard
Your actions speak louder than words
Ignored by you all
I stumble and fall
I suddenly knew
My life meant nothing at all
- Indiana
I see what you see
Yeah I get what you're after
Visions of something
It turns out to be
Shades of Limboland and MTV
Don't rationalise
Your sentence lies so tenderly
- Intrigue In Tangiers
When it's summer
And the skies are glass
I just have to make the evenings last
They're always flying past
When it's raining and the sky is black
I just love to hear the thunder roll
And see the lightning crack
- Is It Any Wonder
On the surface he seems sensible
But underneath the logic is crazy
Like a cat that walks with cruelty
Or a dog that always bites for no reason
I could feel the madness there
But I couldn't see the streets for the houses
And all the lies and fantasies
Were suddenly malicious and dangerous
- Less Than Human
Must have died a thousand times
Must have died a thousand times
Must have died a thousand times
Feeling less than human
I surmise
I'm less than human in God's eyes
- Lufthansa
I'm in a spin
I won't let this darkness in
Turning around
Grinning as I leave the ground
Wanting it all
I'm tearing right through that wall
Once and for all
I'm tearing through that wall
- Monkeyland
I shake my head and shiver
They smile
And then stab my back as they shake my hand
Send out an SOS plea
Come quickly
I'm marooned in monkeyland.
Is there anyone there
Who understands me
- Music In The Womb
She played me music in the womb
So I'd learn to talk in tune
She played me music in the womb
So I'd learn to talk in tune
Dreaming of something
Waiting for something
Longing for something
- P.S. Goodbye
I've had too many crazy nights
I've seen too many crazy sights
I didn't want the scars to show
In those moments only mothers know
You know in retrospect it seems
There's always danger in your dreams
Like an actor stealing scenes
All the magic moments in your teens
- Paper Tigers
Too much makes me lazy
Not enough and it makes me crazy
Too much makes me crazy
Not enough and it makes me lazy
Time stops just for a moment
Then again it's only an instant
Time stops just for an instant
- Perfume Garden
You can shake your hips,you can seal your lips, i can't make that trip
And all lifes fears could invade my ears, i can handle it
I can call on a friend and remember the faces we wore at school
Making the madness and solitary sadness, a friendly fool
I thought of stories they told us long ago
Of how the world was a perfume garden
I haven't yet learned to tame the creature there
- Perfumed Garden
You can shake your hips
You can seal your lips
I can't make that trip
And all life's fears
Can invade my ears
I can handle it
- Pleasure and Pain
White as a cotton cloud
Silence sea and sky
Innocent as the child
Always asking why
I can take you there
I can show you
I can take you there
- Second Skin
One cold damp evening
The world stood still
I watched as i held my breath
A sillhouette i thought i knew
Came through,someone spoke to me
Whispered in my ear
This fantasy's for you
Fantasy's are in this year
- Soul In Isolation
Soul in isolation
I can hear you breathing down the hall
Soul in isolation
I can hear you whisper through the walls
And if i had a mind to now
I could call to you
Or i could simply shut you out
No more,would you cry,cry,cry
- soul in isolation- acoustic
Soul in isolation
I can hear you breathing down the hall
Soul in isolation
I can hear you crying through the walls
And if I had a mind to now
I could call to you
Or I could simply shut you out
No more would you cry
- Swamp Thing
I can already hear your tune
Calling me across the room
When the world and his wife are on my back again
Not enough pleasure, too much pain
When the world is too much with me (Please leave--just go away)
I lose my mind completely (Please leave--just go now)
In the side street something's moving
Look around, look around
- Tears
It's just coincidence
Well, you can talk that way
But I have to say I don't believe in it
It was a chill of chance,
I decided to dance the days away
And I wasn't worried at all
Sneaking through the back door
- The Fan And The Bellows
A Beecher's Brook is love
A hurdle at which greater men have fallen
She manipulates
Steals my mind and hides it in her garden
But now
Only love can bring me down
Somehow
- The Healer
Here comes the sun
Calling out to everyone
Here comes the sun
Falling down on everyone
Here comes the moon
Her shadows come to swallow me soon
Here comes the moon
- Thursday's Child
Where are we?
First and last
Bound together in our past
Much too cruel
Much too fast
And much too quick to anger
I suppose
- Truth Isn't Truth Anymore
The air is threatening
His head is a maze
And every little thing
It seems out of place
I dreamt about you last night
I dreamt about you last night
Why I don't know
Why I don't know
- View from a Hill
Feel myself falling to the ground
Solitary silence there's no sound
Open my eyes and look around
Colours and concepts that confound
