Notorious

I... can't read about it, burns the skin from your eyes,
I'll do fine without it, here's one you don't compromise.
Lies come hard to disguise
Let me to fight it out, not wild about it
Lay your seedy judgements, who says they're part of our lives?

You own the money, you control the witness,
I hear you're lonely - don't monkey with my business
You pay the profits to justify the reasons
I heard your promise but I don't believe it -
That's why I'll do it again

No... no... notorious.

Girls will keep the secrets, so long as boys make the noise,
Fools run rings to break up, something they'll never destroy.
Grand notorious slam, (BAM!) and who really gives a damn -
For a flaky bandit?
Don't ask me to bleed about it, I need this blood to survive.

(chorus)

No.. no.. notorious
Notorious!
Notorious!

(chorus) (chorus)

No!
No... no... (That's why I'll do it again)
No!
Notorious! (Yeh! that's why I'll do it again)
No... no... notorious.

Yeeeehh! that's why I'll do it again
No... notorious.
No....no... notorious.
Yeeeehh! that's why I'll do it again
No... notorious.
No....no... notorious.

American Science

It's a little bit late now,
But there's times you will get a little bit out of hand
Making all of a spill
And if we can lay this down you're going all the way
Take a look and I'll check it out,
Cause I can always find it
Such a lonely place... Ooooh
This room without your face... Ooooh

Ooooooh... American Science
All night long she can two-step and sway
Ooooooh... it's such awful manners
Don't keep me waiting come and lie beside me.

A little megalomania becomes you evidently
There ain't a thing you can't acquire with your cling-wrap
Plaything just look at this state,
I crawl around in a daze, like symptomatic case of your soul persuasion
Such a lonely place... Ooooh
This room without your face... Ooooh

(chorus)

Ooooooh... it's a little bit later now,
There's times you will, let it all get out of hand
When you feel you feel
I just switched on the operation.
Such a lovely face... Ooooh
And pulls me into place ... Ooooh

(chorus)

Skin Trade

Working on the weekend baby
She's working all through the night.
A jump into the deep end,
Gave her the evidence she required.
Take five, she's got pearls,
Don't fake it when it comes to making money -
So... she smiles, but that's cruel
If you knew what she'd think, if you knew what she was after...

Sometimes she wonders... and she laughs in her frustration

Would someone please explain...
The reason for this strange behaviour
In exploitation's name...
We must be working for the skin trade.

Doctors of the revolution gave us, the medicine we desired.
Besides being absolutely painless it's a question of compromise
You've got steel, it's so cool,
Get angry at the weekend then go back to school
So big deal, it's what rules
When it comes to making money, say yes, please, thank you...

Sometimes you wonder, and you ask yourself the question

(chorus)

I know the answer... but I'm asking you the question...

(chorus)

A Matter Of Feeling

How does it feel, when everyone surrounds you?
How do you deal, Do crowds make you feel lonely?
What do you say?
When people come and try to pin you down?
Acquaintances smile, but that's no understanding.
How after a while, you keep falling off the same mountain.
Try to explain it, but nothing really gets that high.

Steal away in the morning, love's already history to you
Just a habit you're forming, this body's desperate for something new
Just a matter of feeling.
This moment's madness sure to pass
And tears will dry as you're leaving
Who knows you might find something to last...

Emotion's a game , saved up for a rainy Monday
But you laugh just the same, 'cause it's been pouring on Sunday;
Call up your numbers and never let the zeros let you down.
How does it feel?
Is time to heavy to hold, whatever you decide for the moment is holy,
whenever you slow down to see life is passing by.

(chorus)

(You can...)

(chorus)

A matter of feeling...

Hold Me

(Hey, this time...)

Shall we walk? shall we run? through my head you understand.
Does the body you conceal need the touch of someone's hand?
Ashes, violations, who would they burn for?
In your isolation... why can't you see? (what I see...)
I wonder if the lights out
I wonder if they're listening

Hold me, lay your shame away.
Show me where your lovers stay.
Hold me lay your ghosts away.
Show me for yourself.
You are lost and alone -
But a prisoner of your pride
When the passions you ignore you can never hide...
One of these days you're going to find out
'Cuz one of these days you're going to try
And what did I say to make you wind up, with this spear of guilt inside
What I wonder if the lights out
What I wonder if they're listening

(chorus)

(Na na, na-na-na, naaa)
(Na na, na-na-na, naaa)
(Na na, na-na-na, naaa)
(Na na, na-na-na, naaa)

Hold me... (Na na, na-na-na, naaa)
Show me... (Na na, na-na, Na na, na-na)

(chorus)

Vertigo (Do The Demolition)

Hey guys, turn it up to get sleazy, twist it in a vise.
Nobody said it was easy, just use your naked eyes. (oh)
How to see and how to hide it,
How to save it well...
Maybe, maybe, maybe
You could take it and eat it
Chew your life supply (oh)

Where's the real life, in your illusion
On the dark side - your powers and confusion
Do the dance,
Do the demolition
And lose the chance to hear when you don't listen

Don't you feel edgy?
Bite your lips and bleed.
Conversation is empty,
Abandoned in the freeze.
Freedom is the only condemnation
Free to say well...
Maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe -
You can take it or leave it,
Just need a little hit tonight.

Where's the real life, in your illusion
On the dark side - of power and confusion
Do the dance,
Do (do) the demolition.
And lose the chance to hear 'cos you don't listen

Maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe
You could try to believe it,
Just need a little help tonight.

Where's the real life, in your illusion
On the dark side - of power and confusion
Do the dance,
Do the demolition.
And lose the chance to hear when you don't listen

(chorus)

Hear it when you listen...
You can't hear when you don't listen...
Hear it when you listen...
You can't hear if you don't listen...

So Misled

(I, I, I, I... so misled)

In the summer of London life "gold", she said,
Was a month before I realized "sold", instead
Hey, it's such an awful choice, gonna break my back
Take it easy now, you're weepin' boy, don't wanna feel the crack
Bust my head to say you lose it, now my body's gotta use it...

I, I, I should not be... so misled
I, I, I should not be... so misled

Saw an advert in a magazine "safe", it said
With the satisfaction guaranteed, to cool your head!
I can see the solution to this state of confusion...

(chorus)

(chorus)

So misled...
So misled...
Ok, take it away...

(Do-do, do do do, dooo dooo, la-la, la la la laaa)
(Do-do, do do do, dooo dooo, la-la, la la la laaa)

In the summer of London life...
(Do-do, do do do, dooo dooo)
Was a month before I realized...
(la-la, la la la laaa)
I gotta say, I miss you baby...
So misled...

Meet El Presidente

Miss November Tuesday, bend your rubber rules
Take your time but don't take off your high heel shoes
She's in demand at dinner time, (she's in demand)
She's on the factory wall (pin-up on a factory wall)
And when the gentlemen retire (when they retire)
Guess who's in control? (control)
She blew your money on taking a cruise
If that isn't funny well, watch out teacher...

ohh ohh, when the chamber's empty... she said,
"ohh, ohh, meet el Presidente"

Dress in flimsy clothing,
Use your lipstick line
To cover fear and loathing
With a pink disguise
You never refuse when she lies back -
Put a stripe on the union, and a star on the jack
She's on the case at dinner time (at dinner time)
She's on the evening news (seen her on the evening news)
And if you dare, step out of line (step out of line)
You're going to be abused.
You may not like it, you may not be scared,
But hell has no fury like a young girl's ego

(chorus)

You might adopt an attitude, (attitude)
Look on the moral side (lookin' on the moral side)
But if police are after you, (after you)
Where's the best place to hide? (hide)
For this production, they gave her a gun...
Ain't no director, so watch out actors!

(chorus) (chorus)

ohh, ohh, meet el Presidente
ohh, ohh, meet el Presidente
ohh, ohh!

Winter Marches On

The trade's on.
She drains emotion -
To drink from,
The breast of fortune
Dreams have frozen,
Crystal in the morning
Birthtime rose,
A thorn for coronation.

All arise from your rest
We'll find enough there to feed you.
Soon you'll belong to the blessed
Spare us your lives while we need you.

Loud, is the music, the crowd is ringing
Out, of my head as the winter marches on...

Loud is the music the sky is bringing
Out of my head as the winter marches on...
Loud, is the music, the crowd is bringing
Out, of my head as the winter marches on...

Loud is the music the sky is ringing
Out of my head as the winter marches on...

And on...
Winter marches on...

Proposition

"Bring back that child", she said "spare me the price of freedom.
Cold is my baby's head blown by the wind of reason"
Even the rage behind cries out to see
We're still standing under the closing edge
Pay for the crime of feeling

When all your pride is dead you must be scared instead...

A quiet word is my proposition
A promise made of a fierce day
A body bleeds for this coalition
Without surrender if you stay

"Show me my youth", she cried "wasted for desolation"
Hold up the sacrifice, pull down your institutions
Resting while anger flies question's the same... who's deciding?
After the clouds have lain shame on your generation

When all your guilt lies dead you must be scared instead

(chorus)

Proposition...

We Need You

Time will see were not searching for a wild excuse
To put emotion back on hold.
Too much has gone down, we know what you're doing,
But do you feel the same way?

You look sharp inside your pointed shoes,
I have this picture hanging in my room
But I refuse to take you down or shake you down,
We could bring you gently round -

If thats what you... choose, for a point of view,
I think you'll find its true.
These words are like sand, just get blown away
All the things we'd like to say...

We need you...
We need you (we need you)
