IS THERE SOMETHING I SHOULD KNOW ? (FROM THE RE-ISSUE ALBUM)

I made a run, I run out yesterday Tried to find my mountain hideaway maybe next year, maybe no go I know you're watching me every minute of the day, yeah I've seen the signs and the looks and pictures That give your game away, yeah There's a dream that strings the road With broken glass for us to hold and I cut so far before I had to say Please, please tell me now Is there something I should know? Is there something I should say? That would make you come my way Do you feel the same 'cos you don't let it show People stare and cross the road from me And jungle drums they all clear the way for me Can you read my mind, can you see in the snow and fiery demons all dance when you walk through that door Don't say you're easy on me, you're about as easy as a nuclear war Please, please tell me now Is there something I should know? Is there something I should say?
That would make you come my way Do you feel the same 'cos you don't let it show Please, please tell me now Is there something I should know? Is there something I should say? That would make you come my way Please, please tell me now Is there something I should know? Is there something I should say? That would make you come my way Please, please tell me now Can you see what makes me blow? Can you see how much I die? Every time it passes by Please, please tell me now What it takes to make you show Is there something I should know? Is there something I should say?

HUNGRY LIKE THE WOLF

Darken the city night is a wire Steam in the subway earth is afire Do do do do do do dodo dododo dodo Woman you want me give me a sign And catch my breathing even closer behind Do do do do do do do dodo dododo dodo In touch with the ground I'm on the hunt I'm after you Smell like I sound I'm lost in a crowd And I'm hungry like the wolf. Straddle the line in discord and rhyme I'm on the hunt I'm after you Mouth is alive with juices like wine And I'm hungry like the wolf. Stalked in the forest too close to hide I'll be upon you by the moonlight side Do do do do do do do dodo dododo dodo High blood Drumming on your skin it's so tight You feel my heart I'm just a moment behind Do do do do do do do dodo dododo dodo In touch with the ground I'm on the hunt I'm after you Scent and sound. I'm lost and I'm found And I'm hungry like the wolf Strut on a line it's discord and rhyme I howl and I whine I'm after you Mouth is alive all running inside And I'm hungry like the wolf Hungry like the wolf Hungry like the wolf Hungry like the wolf. Burning the ground I break from the crowd I'm on the hunt I'm after you I smell like I sound. I'm lost and I'm found And I'm hungry like the wolf. Strut on a line it's discord and rhyme I'm on the hunt I'm after you Mouth is alive with juices like wine And I'm hungry like the wolf.

 

NEW RELIGION

A dialogue between the ego and the alter ego I've been now sauntering out and down a path sometime. Come on, it takes me nowhere which I knew Faces everywhere pulling grins and signs in things Telling me not there man its no go. Don't go there boy I need a reason I can't think without one now Too much learning got to show Call it treason Maybe catch her don't know how Too many things too much to know Bring my timing in, seagulls gather on the wind. Lady screaming, lady leave me out 'cause sometimes people stare Coming down, electric chair And steaming crowds they gather and shout Don't know why this evil bothers me Take another chance boy carry the fight You can take him if you're fast. So why is he trying to follow me? Didn't I say if you're holdin' on You'd be laughing at the last How many reasons do they need? I get along fine with them friends of mine But you have to make a choice I might just believe this time You're singing out of tune, but the beat's in time And its us who make the noise I'm talking for free. I can't stop[ myself, it's a new religion I've something to see. I can't help myself, it's a new religion Okay my reasoning might be clouded by the sun. But someone sees the departmental lie You know this peacetime jabbling fist in stabbing knife Only get one look before you die Don't know why this evil follows me Gotta take pay the saints' n' sinners In regulations hats' n' scarves' n' things So why does he try to bother me? Walking in formation down the lane They carry their cross make a church bell ring How many reasons do they need? Army majors pull a mean cool truth There lying in a swimming pool I might just be right this time Searching for the undeniable truth That a man is just a fool I'm talking for free. I can't stop myself, it's a new religion I've something to see, I can't help myself, it's a new religion.

 

SAVE A PRAYER (TILL THE MORNING AFTER)

You saw me standing by the wall corner of a main street And the lights are flashing on your window sill All alone ain't much fun so you're looking for the thrill and you know just what it takes and where to go. Don't save a prayer for me now Save it till the morning after No don't say a prayer for me now Save it till the morning after Feel the breeze deep on the inside look you down into the well If you can you'll see the world in all his fire Take a chance (Like all dreamers can't find another way) You don't have to dream it all, just live a day. Don't say a prayer for me now Save it till the morning after No don't say a prayer for me now Save it till the morning after Save it till the morning after. Ave it till the morning after Pretty looking road I try to hold the rising floods that fill my skin Don't ask me why I'll keep my promise I'll melt the ice And you wanted to dance so I asked you to dance but fear is in your soul Some people call it a one night stand but we can call it paradise Don't say a prayer for me now Save it till the morning after No don't say a prayer for me now Save it till the morning after Save it till the morning after Save it till the morning after Save it till the morning after Save it till the morning after Save a prayer till the morning after.

 

The Wild Boys

Wild boys, wild boys, wild boys
Wild boys
Wild! (wild)
Boys! (boys)

The wild boys are calling on their way back from the fire
In august moon’s surrender to a dust cloud on the rise
Wild boys fallen far from glory, reckless and so hungered
On the razors edge you trail because there’s murder (murder)
By the roadside in a sore afraid new world

They tried to break us, looks like they’ll try again

Wild boys.. never lose it
Wild boys.. never chose this way
Wild boys.. never close your eyes
Wild boys.. always shine

You got sirens for a welcome, there’s bloodstain for your pain
And your telephone been ringing while you’re dancing in the rain
Wild boys wonder where is glory where is all you angels
Now the figureheads have fell?
And lovers war with arrows over secrets they could tell

They tried to tame you, looks like they’ll try again

(chorus)

 

THE SEVENTH STRANGER

Those words are all remainders Echoes growing in the heart of twilight They lay back laughing at naivety's star Awaken all those whispers the dusty shadow of a passing favor I wouldn't say that you were ruthless or right I couldn't see from so far Was I chasing after rainbows One thing for sure you never answered when I called And I wiped away the water from my face To look through the eyes of a stranger For rumors in the wake of such a lonely crowd Trading in my shelter for danger I'm changing my name just as the sun goes down In the eyes of a stranger. Can't tell the real from reflection When all these faces look the same to me In every city such a desolate dream Some days are strange to number Some say the seventh sounds a little bit stranger A year of Sunday's seems to have drifted right by (I could have sworn) in one evening And I'm not seized in desperation No steel reproaches on the table from before But I still can feel those splinters of ice I look through the eyes of a stranger For rumors in the wake of such a lonely crowd Trading in my shelter for danger I'm changing my name just as the sun goes down In the eyes of the stranger. I must be chasing after rainbows One thing for sure you never answer when I call And I wipe away the water from my face To look through the eyes of a stranger For rumor in the wake of such a lonely crowd Trading in my shelter for danger I'm changing my name just as the sun goes down Walking away like a stranger From rumors in the wake of such a lonely crowd Trading in my shelter for danger I'm changing my name just as the sun goes down In the eyes of the stranger.

 

THE CHAUFFEUR

Out on the tar plains, the glides are moving All looking for a new place to drive You sit beside me so newly charming Sweating dew drops glisten fleshing your side The sun slips down bedding heavy blind The front of your dress all shadowy lined And the droning engine throbs in time With your beating heart. Sing blue silver Way down the lane away living for another day The aphids swarm up in the drifting haze Swim seagull in the empty sky on towards that western isle My envied lady holds you fast in her gaze And watching lovers part, I feel you smiling What glass splinters lie so deep in your mind To tear out from your eyes, with a word to stiffen brooding lies But I'll only watch you leave me further behind.

 

UNION OF THE SNAKE

Telegram force and ready I knew this was a big mistake There's a fine line drawing My senses together And I think it's about to break If I listen close I can hear them singers Voices in your body coming through on the radio The union of the snake is on the climb Moving up it's gonna race it's gonna break Through the borderline. Nightshades on a warning Give me strength at least give me a light Give me anything even sympathy There's a chance you could be right The union of the snake is on the climb It's gonna race it's gonna break Gonna move up to the borderline.

 

PLANET EARTH

Only came outside to watch the nightfall with the rain I heard you making patterns rhyme Like some new romantic looking for the TV sound You'll see I'm right some other time Look know, look all around, there's no sign of life Voices, another sound, can you hear me now ? This is Planet Earth you're looking at planet Earth Bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop this is planet Earth My head is stuck on something precious Let me know if you're coming down to land Is there anybody out there trying to get through ? My eyes are so cloudy I can't see you Look now, look all around, there's no sign of life Voices, another sound, can you hear me now ? This is planet Earth you're looking at planet Earth Bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop This is planet Earth Bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop Calling planet Earth Bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop Looking at planet Earth Bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop This is planet Earth

 

CARELESS MEMORIES

So soon just after you've gone My senses sharpen But it always takes so damn long Before I see how much my eyes have darkened Fear hangs a plane of gun smoke Drifting in our room So easy to disturb with a thought with a whisper With a careless memory with a careless memory On the table signs of love lies scattered And the walls break with a crashing within It's not as though you really mattered to me But being close How could I let you go Without some feeling Some precious sympathy following Fear hangs a plane of gun smoke Drifting in our room So easy to disturb With a thought With a whisper With a careless memory with a careless memory With a careless memory with a careless memory I walk out into the sun to try to find a new day But the whole place just screams in my eyes Where are you now cause I don't want to meet you I think I'd die I think I'd laugh at you I know I'd cry What am I supposed to do. Follow you Outside the thoughts come flooding back now I just try to forget you So easy to disturb with a thought with a whisper With a careless memory with a careless memory With a careless memory look out Look out Look out Look out
