Girls On Film

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 fourline 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 she ever got here
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 on 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 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 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

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
Outside love is there anyone out there, anyone else outside

My face in the mirror shows the break in time
A crack in the ocean which does not align
I tried to sleep last night but i've caught your dreaming
About days we used to wonder away

Outside is there anyone out there, anyone else outside
Outside love is there anyone out there, anyone else outside

Look out of the window maybe you can call by my name
Another night over babe another light comes on in vain

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)

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 waterline
See how you are at the shore
I'm moving chrissie 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...

Careless Memories

So soon just after you've gone
My senses sharpen
But it always takes so damn long
Before I feel how much my eyes have darkened

Fear hangs in a plane of gunsmoke
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 in a plane of gunsmoke
Drifting in our room
So easy to disturb with a thought with a whisper
with a careless memory, with a careless memory
I walk out into the sun, 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 coming 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 yellows
Rising for a breath of breeding and drowns
Stillness overcomes me in the night
Listen to the rising water moan

I'm waiting, waiting for the nightboat
I'm waiting, waiting for the nightboat

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 nightboat
I'm waiting, waiting for the nightboat
Waiting for the nightboat
I'm waiting
I'm waiting, waiting for the nightboat
I'm waiting for the nightboat

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 the 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
That I might fly off

I'm waiting for the sound of thunder

Friends Of Mine

Friends of mine
They said they were friends of mine
Said they were passing time
More like a waste of time
Close the door
I said close the door
I've told you twice before
What are you waiting for

Georgie Davies is coming out
No more heroes we twist and shout
Oh no not me i'm not too late
And I know that i'm not waiting anymore
Rocky Picture has lost his gun
Leave him out now he's having fun
Oh no not me i'm not too late
And i know that i'm not taking any more (hey hey)

Silly lies, don't have to advertise
When will you realise, i'm sick of you alibis

Running cold, the waters running cold
I thinks it's time you were told
I think you're growing old

(chorus)

Friends of mine
They said they were friends of mine
They were just wasting time
Out on the dotted line
Moneys gone, I knew it all along
Why don't you say I'm wrong
Why don't they drop the bomb

(chorus)

What you doing friends of mine
Holding back now friends of mine
I've always heard you calling

Girls On Film (original lyric)

Because girls on film look better and they -
They never bite - no - they never bite - fight me
They parade the screens tonight and
They'll invade my dreams alright but
They're not what they seem at all
They're not what they seem
See them for the first time
Notice the highlights
Larger than life and are they alive
With that obscene twist to their lips
Batting their eyes in looks of surprise

Girls On Film (they look better)
Girls On Film (always smile)

Black car - black car - didn't I warn you
The black star black star goes like a bombshell
I've never met her - don't think I could
'Cos she's slightly tarnished -
Broken nails beneath the varnish
Keep your distance

Tel Aviv (unused poem)

The afternoon, it's one maybe two
Sipping away my last gold star, not so much to do
Dream away the sunny day until it's time to leave
I'll just watch you pass on by
When I'm on my own in Tel Aviv

With the blocks to one side
The beach on the other
And the trees and the leaves
On my own in Tel Aviv
And the trees and the leaves
On my own in Tel Aviv

I see smoke is rolling
Breaking off the shore
The sound of traffic fades
Like someone closed the door
See I might stay here
Watch the skins keeping cool
Like Greene's man overseas
I read the rules

With the blocks to one side
And the beach on the other
And the trees and the leaves
On my own in Tel Aviv
And the palms and the trees
On my own in Tel Aviv

Late Bar

There's a hole in the wall next to you
Things with legs are crawling through
The man is searching for the door
And you run
You're coming out
You're going down

There's an all night party in room 7609
La-la-la late bar
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-late
You can dance together
All night if you've got the time
La-la-la late bar
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-late

The bodies move like flies on the wall
You want to run but there's no space at all
The dancers spinning on the mirror ball
You're coming out
You're going round

But there's an all night party in room 7609
La-la-la late bar
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-late
And you can dance together all night if you've got the time
La-la-la late bar
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-late

Just come to the late bar
Come, so fast
Drink...
I know what I'm talking about
I know what I'm doing
Ahh...

There's an all night party in room 7609
La-la-la late bar
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-late
You can dance together
All night if you've got the time
La-la-la late bar
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-late

Khanada

La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la loo
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la loo

Didn't no one tell you
Money is the game
You're playing so hard to get now
I don't even know your name

Don't play with me, I've nothing to lose Khanada, I'll get by
It ain't no ones day, coming so soon Khanada, I'll get by
I dont believe in dragons or blues Khanada, I'll get by
I don't believe in nobody's rules Khanada, I'll get by

Heavy as the rain falls
I might go outside
Just because you're with me
Doesn't mean you're not the same

(chorus)

Fame

Fame, makes a man take things over
Fame, lets him loose, hard to swallow
Fame, puts you there, where things are hollow
Fame...

Fame, hurts your brain, just a flame
A funny tin to dip you inside
Fame...

Fame, what you like is in the Limo
Fame, what you get is no tomorrow
Fame, what you need you have to borrow
Fame...

Fame, the dirty swine, it's just his line
He's only trying to drive you to crime... (crime)
Fame...

Is it any wonder
I'll reject you first
Is it any wonder
You're too cool to prove

Fame
A ticket for you, a ticket for me
I've gotta get to Witchitta
Fame...

Fame (Repeat x23)
What's your name?
What a game...
What a shame... What a shame...

Faster Than Light

Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Why I see your face
Moving in the aerospace
White Light shining, we're all alone
Scare of flying, cos here we come

White light, homing in
The speed of light, moving in
Faster than light (the light)
Faster than light (the light)
Faster than light...
Faster than light (the light)
Faster than light (the light)
Faster than light...

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
You see ways by the door
Pulling over years before
White light shining bright, you're all alone
Scare of flying, cos here we come

(chorus)

Light Light Light Light Light
Light Light Light Light Light
Light Light Light Light Light

(chorus)
