See them walking hand in
hand across the bridge at midnight Heads turning as the lights flashing out
are so bright Then walk right out to the four line track There's a camera
rolling on her back on her back And I sense the rhythms humming in a frenzy
All the way down her spine Girls on film Girls on film Girls on film Girls on
film Lipstick cherry all over the lens as she's falling In miles of sharp blue
water coming in where she lies The diving man's coming up for air Cause the
crowd all love pulling dolly by the hair, by the hair And she wonders how's
she ever got there As she goes under again Girls on film (Two minutes later
Girls on film Girls on film (Got your picture Girls on film Wider baby smiling
you've just made a million Fuses pumping live heat twisting out of a wire Take
one last glimpse into the night I'm touching close I'm holding bright, holding
tight Give me shudders with a whisper take me high Till I'm shooting a star
Girls on film (She's more than a lady Girls on film Girls on film (See you
together Girls on film Girls on film (See you later Girls on film Girls on
film (Two minutes later)
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
ANYONE OUT THERE
I never found out what made
you leave And now the day is over just an hour to go I tried to phone last
night but you didn't answer Just left me ringing on the line Outside is there
anyone out there anyone else outside O-utside love is there anyone out there
anyone else outside My face in the mirror shows a break in time A crack in the
ocean which does not align I tried to sleep last night but I've caught you
dreaming About days we used to wonder away Outside is there anyone out there
anyone else outside O-utside love is there anyone out there anyone else
outside Look maybe my name Out of the window you can call by your Another Babe
loves in vain Night over another light on in vain Oh I tried to phone last
night but you never answered Just Left me ringing in the air (outside) Is
there anyone out there (Anyone out there)
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
NIGHT BOAT
Standing On the edge of the
quay No light Flashes on the water for me Fog in my mind darkens in my eyes
Silently screaming for a distant sound Ripple river yellow Rising for a breath
of breeding and drowns Stillness overcomes me in the night Listen To the
rising water moan Waiting, waiting for the night boat I'm waiting, waiting for
the night boat Shadows all through me Shudder away Echo me echo me Am I alone
Or is the river alive cause it Echoes me echoes me echoes me I'm Waiting,
waiting for the night boat I'm waiting, waiting for the night boat Waiting
waiting for the night boat I'm waiting I'm waiting, waiting for the night boat
I'm waiting for the night boat.
SOUND OF THUNDER
Been in this grass here for
the last ten hours My clothes are dirty but my mouth isn't dry How does it
happen does it fly through the air Oh I gave up asking days away And now I'm
lying here waiting for the sound of thunder Here I am I'm a dotted line Cut
the corners stick me to your door I'm the man who stepped off the path And I
just lie here It's what I was made for And now my eyes are closing but I still
feel the land Leaning out for the touch of my hand The world spins so fast
That I might fly off The world spins so fast That I might fly off The world
spins so fast I might fly off I'm waiting for the sound of thunder.
FRIENDS OF MINE

mine Holding back now Friends of mine I've always heard you calling.
TO THE SHORE
When your nine day feed is
up And you've drained your loving cup Come stands reeling to the shore When
the brave are coming out The dry fight and the dusty shout See you crawling on
the floor And diamond stars shine glitter bright Gorging your sanhedralite
Words are falling to the floor Glands stand pouring fruit tree Now they
glisten on the water line See how you are at the shore --- I'm moving Chrisse
pretty flowers in the shutter maze Haul up all your petty desires Leave it
lying down before Wash away the rusty disease Of your brown town days in our
silver sea Leave it dying at the door Feather yell you've time to leave Open
out your Arms and Breathe Breathe Breathe Breathe

what I'm talking about I know what I'm doing Ahh.. (chorus)

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?
