Dark Circles

You're moving in dark circles
Dark circles show me your eyes
It's black magic with no perfume
You're all tv & white lies

Move, move, move, move

No rainbow all snow storm
A trans lunar jezebel
Your Stockhausen with pictures
Ulysses in ugly shoes

Move, move, move, move

Dark circles
Black magic
Dark circles
And white lie
Black magic
Dark circles
Black magic
And white lies
Dark circles
Black magic
Dark circles
No perfume
Black magic
Dark circles
Black magic
And white lies

Big Store

I'm going out tonight
Leaving god alone
Every rivers running dry
I'm going out tonight
We drink small sour drinks
& smoke long cigarettes
I'm going out tonight
Leaving god alone
In a big store

I ain't no fun time Barbie
I ain't no fun time Mandy
I ain't no fun time Charlie
I'm no fun at all
I like going shopping
Shopping in the big store
Shopping in the large store
Or any store that's big
Is a big store

I'm going out tonight
Leaving god alone
Every rivers running dry
I'm going out tonight
We drink small sour drinks
And smoke long cigarettes
I'm going out tonight
Leaving god alone
In a big store

Come Alive

I'm a liar and I lie to you
I'm a liar to myself too
I'm lying in my bed
I'm lying in my head
It's the last thing that you said
I'm a liar

But you only know what's true
You know I'm guilty till I'm blue
Come along for the ride
There's nowhere left to hide

A.L.I.V.E Come alive for me
A.L.I.A.R. I'll steal you a car.
A.L.I.V.E Come alive for me
A.L.I.A.R. I'll steal you.

I'm alive I'm alive to you
I'm alive to myself to too
I'm alive in my bed
I'm alive in my head
It was the first thing that you said
I'm alive

But you only know what's true
You know I'm guilty till I'm blue
Come along for the ride
There's nowhere left to hide

A.L.I.V.E Come alive for me
A.L.I.A.R. I'll steal you a car.
A.L.I.V.E Come alive for me
A.L.I.A.R. I'll steal you.

A.L.I.V.E Come alive for me
A.L.I.A.R. I'll steal you a car.
A.L.I.V.E Come alive for me
A.L.I.A.R. I'll steal you.

Signals In Smoke

Signals in smoke fade away
The signs on the screen tell me
You won't stay

What we can't see
Will never change
And the bells of your costume
Have rung there last change

We had so much and nothing to loose
Signals in smoke tell me
We all loose

Lost Decade

When I came back from the east
I found you in uniform
Standing to attention tall
With no glimpse of the human heart
I needed you in my arms
But I was all you scorned
And I fell hard for you
As I fell far for you.

Take me now; show me you love me,
Take me now; show me what you take me for
In this lost decade
Could you love me like you did before?

Telephoning city to city
Notified of second thoughts
Of how you came to rust in me
When all around you were betrayed
So now your suitcase stands by the doorway
You turn the lights off in the hallway
Call a taxi say good-bye
And one fine morning

Take me now; show me you love me,
Take me now; show me what you take me for
In this lost decade
Could you love me like you did before?

(We all make mistakes you said
You were lucky to escape I said
Tomorrow we will run much faster
And one fine morning.)

Aztec Moon

I hear in the Aztec night birds flying overhead
Flying far away and leaving me alone
Alone in the Aztec night
Disowned in the Aztec night.

My destination is unclear
Each day I ride around
I read magazines and books
However, never buy I thing
From the big store Aztec moon

I will climb every mountain
Every one before me placed
And I will climb up to the stars
For to the stars I'm not disgraced
Aztec moon

I'm going to catch a train
To take me far away
Far away where I will live alone
But never be alone Aztec moon

I will climb every mountain
Every one before me placed
And I will climb up to the stars
For to the stars I'm not disgraced
Aztec moon.

World Exclusive

I heard a thousand words
Saw a million faces
I travelled everywhere
Stayed in several places
Like a strange and empty land
Where I became forsaken
Completely out of hand
And everything was taken.

Hear my world exclusive
I'm the greatest man alive
Aint got no excuses
It's easy to forget
I gave myself to you

We took what we were given
And that left us wasted
It wasn't far from grace
Where we found how life tasted
We weren't being rude
Just trying to be offensive
Obscurity vacation
Not somewhere we could live

Hear my world exclusive
I'm the greatest man alive
Aint got no excuses
It's easy to forget
I gave myself to you

I gave myself to you
I want my money back.

Hawks Don't Share

Dark eyes you've got new clothes

Please stay with me I love you
You are a dream believe me
We cut our hair
We go to bed
Sleep scented head
Now we know our promises were true
And we know a burden has been shared

But Hawks don't share they gather in
Hawks don't share
Hawks don't share they gather in
Hawks don't share
Hawks don't share

No history to forget
Not fame & fortune to regret
We tried so hard to find the truth
Don't leave me here

Then I see your hands outstretched to me
And I know the role I played was false

But Hawks don't share they gather in
Hawks don't share
Hawks don't share they gather in
Hawks don't share
Hawks don't share they gather in
Hawks don't share
Hawks don't share

Dark eyes you've got new clothes
Dark eyes you've got new clothes
Dark eyes you've got new clothes
Dark eyes you've got new clothes
Clothes
Clothes.

Newhaven Dieppe

Everyone else has gone
But we remain a little longer
I know that i'm losing you
And losing will never do
Do what you did for me
Our transparent history
Soon will fall apart
Were back at the start
And we can't help it

You know why you're running
Newhaven - Dieppe
You know that I'll always be on your step
But do you know why you're lonely tonight
Tonight
Tonight

Everyone else has gone
But we remain a little longer
Between the paperbacks
Sleep the insomniacs
On sheets of black again
With only yourself to blame
For loss of self control
And how youre looking old
And no wonder

You know why you're running
Newhaven - Dieppe
You know that I'll always be on your step
But do you know why you're lonely tonight
Tonight
Tonight

Barbarellas

Barbarellas Barbarellas
Barbarellas Barbarellas

Full of hope at Barbarellas
We named our first group after Barbarellas
Got to play on stage at Barbarellas
Car park now instead of Barbarellas
I loved you at Barbarellas
Felt we belonged at Barbarellas
That was ours at Barbarellas
Do you want to go to Barbarellas

Barbarellas Barbarellas
Barbarellas Barbarellas

I met you at Barbarellas
And the rest of my life at Barbarellas
We all shut down with Barbarellas
I'll see you down at Barbarellas

Barbarellas Barbarellas
Barbarellas Barbarellas
Barbarellas Barbarellas
Barbarellas Barbarellas
