1.Listen To The Sirens
'flow my tears' the new police song
The slogan of peace is 'you must live'
They've got me and i'm one of them
Cancel：'silence' they screamed for days
'we've been here before, we won't stay'
They can die, they can just turn off
Some vehicle moves in circles
Some people need the heroes
But i don't mind
I don't mind
Please listen to the sirens
We don't wish to be your friends
Please listen to the sirens
We won't ever call again
Mister webb there is no way out
Love this room, please don't fight your walls
Can you see i'm wasting your time
A streetcar's rusting unseen
Music hall's empty like me
But i don't care
I don't care
Please listen to the sirens
We don't wish to be your friends
Please listen to the sirens
We won't ever call again
If i could stay here for now
With someone just a bit like you
'oh, no'
Maybe i would dream again
Of someone just a bit like you
's'pose so'
Station boys keep their hands on steel
Tubeway days now seem quite unreal
It's always so close but never quite arrives
My vision's like an old film, shaky
There's nothing through my window, okay
No photo by my bedside, black／white
No image in my mirror, bye bye
2.My Shadow In Vain
Stroll to the cafe
My god how time flies
I close up my brain
And another friend dies
I feel like a mirror
Feel like nothing is mine
I could go back to crying
But now dying seems fine
So i hang from the ceiling
Or i sit on the air
Or rot in a corner
Until somebody cares
Faces at random
I quote people i knew
I'd love to be like me
If i could feel like you
Here am i, more roche five than pain
Here am i, just me and my walls to blame
Here am i, i really don't feel quite sane
Here am i, still searching for my shadow in vain
Lock my door i only think in black and white
I'll even try to look ashamed
Moving out of central
Somebody knows me well
Says he'll spill the whole story
He may be lying i can't tell
Meet me inside
I'll keep my head to the floor
And one hand on the handle
Of the mad／sane door
Here am i, more roche five than pain
Here am i, just me and my walls to blame
Here am i, i really don't feel quite sane
Here am i, still searching for my shadow in vain
Lock my door i only think in black and white
I'll even try to look ashamed
My shadow in vain
My shadow in vain
My shadow in vain
My shadow in vain
My shadow in vain...
3.The Life Machine
Me i've just died
But some machine keeps on humming
I'm just an extra piece of dead meat to keep running
Why won't you let me die in peace？
Why won't you let me die with some kind of honour？
Why won't you let me die at all？
I know
You've got your principles
My body lies immobile
I left it days ago
And me i watch from somewhere as the loved ones come and go
I see them glancing at the switch
I hear them whispering 'maybe it's better that way'
I see the love turn into feelings
I know
Aren't quite the same
I see the men of learning
Pacing to and fro
But how can i expect the sane to ever know？
I'd rather die than have no mind
I know my brain is gone 'damaged beyond repair'
I see an empty shell below me
I know
I've had my time
4.Friends
See the strange boy keeping to the shadows
He's a very good friend of mine
I've seen you running from the ladies
Don't tell me you're not that kind
I've got the time if you've got the money
Mister you'll be pleased you'll see
We'll meet by the tubeway as the screamer cries eleven
And you can have your way with me
You're gonna make me feel so cold
See my one love talking to the pretty boy
I never did like her taste
My skin is rubber on a skeletal body
I'm physically going to waste
Feel my eyes and the tongue of a killer
I'm a humanoid logic machine
Don't touch me with your painted little fingers
'cos i know where they've been
You're not gonna put those scabs on me
I must hide from a thousand grinning faces
All sucking from my crazy mind
Take a ride out in my imagery of ages
And heaven knows what you will find
I've no time for the chitter-chatter ladies
I'm so busy trying to break this wall
Hear my words 'cos emotion now is leaving
You see i'm really not a human at all
And i don't think i wanna stay
5.Something's In The House
Memories lost in faded films of my life
And a friend that used to be something special to me
Red wine and good times if you don't feel at all
There is no point in going on tonight
Something's in the house something's on the stairs
War's in the air
The queer is out of order and me i'm on the ground
But that's no place to be
Jack burroughs says 'what you doing'
'oh me, i'm going home'
'oh what a shame'
Nothing has changed and nothing is new these days
6.Everyday I Die
The problems of need
I need you
Obscene dreams in
Rusty beds
No one came here
Tonight
I pulled on me
I need to
I unstick pages and read
I look at pictures of you
I smell the lust in my hands
Everyday i die
Her favorite trick
Was to suck me inside
Oh so very
Art nouveau
Completely false
Feelings of love i don't
No one knows, but that died
Years ago
I unstick pages and read
I look at pictures of you
I smell the lust in my hands
Everyday i die
7.Steel And You
It's so quiet and dark
And i shouldn't be here
This machine won't last
For always
Just my steel friend and me
I stand brave by his side
This machine is all
I live for
I can see in your eyes
You're not so sure about me
This machine is my voice
Please listen
It's so noisy and bright
And i just love being here
This machine will last
For my life
8.My Love Is A Liquid
Can you see her little eyes？
Can you see her little hands？
Don't you think she looks just like me？
Can you hear her little scream？
Can you hear her little cry？
Don't you think she sounds just like me？
You have friends and we have reasons
I can't meet you face-to-face
There are no corners to hide in my room
No doors, no windows, no fireplace
My love is only for me
My love needs nobody else
Did you know that my love is a liquid？
I could talk to me for years
I can't speak to you at all
Did you know that friends come in boxes？
You have friends and we have reasons
I can't meet you face-to-face
There are no corners to hide in my room
No doors, no windows, no fireplace
Save your money buy a tube
Let your body flow inside
Watch it grow before your eyes
Watch it grow before your eyes
You have friends and we have reasons
I can't meet you face-to-face
There are no corners to hide in my room
No doors, no windows, no fireplace
9.Are You Real？
No one's alive
You could almost be me
What do you mean
'oh, nothing, nothing at all'
Room 8 top floor
I've seen this man before
Are you real？
Is it me, is it you
Cold metal voice
Of no one's friend it could be mine
My reflection
Is no longer me at all
Am i a fake
Of the man and are you of me
Are you real？
Is it me, is it you
Relax in a backroom
Oh me oh my oh wouldn't you
I know your face
Your connection is broken, boy
Nothing is new
Remember？ i've got no time
Are you real？
Is it me, is it you
Real？
Real？
Real？
10.The Dream Police
The dream police
Slogan：'what is on your mind？'
The airwave boys
Junkies won't get radio time
The purist league
White trenchcoats in pre-war style
The aging queens
Mister won't you stay a while？
In death row with harlow
And others like you
I point my finger of hate
At your picture and love you and love you
The radio is talking
Is it you or me？
I must admit
It's far too late to dial police
What is your name？
We are the end of the line
Her eyes went out
Dreaming 'overdose on time'
Hey you old grey eyes
Don't practice dying for real
The only one
September she knows i can feel
11.Jo The Waiter
Jo the waiter worked for me
Serving wine in basement bars
Only madmen ever stay, 'got no time'
If you're mindless please take mine
Jo the waiter held me close
Behind the door marked 'gentlemen'
Just for now that's all i need
Won't someone call me 'friend'？
Long gone, i recall good times
I must confess, i cried
We burned out and the line went dead
At six o'clock i felt so alone
I crawled inside, where else to go？
I could be dead for all you know
Everyday i died for you
Valium boys with painted eyes
Young men need love special
I don't think i want it at all
Long gone, i recall good times
I must confess, i cried
Me, i've retired to a back street flat
Picture 'eyes in a cold steel frame'
The freaks arrive, broken needles and blood
'what you on, man, to get those eyes？'
It's very touching, i'm so close to me
False smiles i've rehearsed for days
Come inside, you won't know i'm wrong
Give me your heart, i'm so quickly gone
12.Zero Bars(Mr.Smith)
My name is smith
Your silence is my trade
My name is smith
Here in this bar you fade out
Time heals nothing
It merely rearranges our memory
In zero bars
Even time no longer seems willing to try
Please look around
Empty faces that never quite die
Don't be surprised
Their bodies move by habit, look in their eyes
Nothing is real
If you break down and cry they won't even stare
Nobody feels
It's far too risky to admit that you care
My name is smith
Your silence is my trade
My name is smith
Here in this bar you fade out
13.Only A Downstat
Only a downstat
Personality problem
He would say things like 'i love you'
And cry real tears
Met him in some place
Like a home for old mothers
Where the cure is always death
But no-one ever leaves
He wore a number 7
Badge on his collar
He would show it with pride
And say 'it means i can feel'
He'd bribe the warders
To send letters to someone
Who didn't even know his name
But said she'd read them anyway
And in the evening (？？)
He writes poetry for people
Who deny he's alive
And say 'i'll mention that name'
A violator of the law of no feelings
They should be put in the chair
Until their eyes come in (？？)
If you have reasons
I might sell you my time
I'll leave it under the stairs
In a body of mine
Old memories are slowly fading out of me
We are the unknowns, we are all you need
14.We Have A Technical
We have a random on the westside
Personality malfunction
He says i can't give you anything at all
Just a room with a bad view of you
He sent a letter to a downstat
Saying sorry that i missed you
But i can't think of anything to do
He's addicted to the time track
We have a technical
We have a technical
He's in a hotel where they all go
Saying 'boy, i've lost my memory'
It's so surprising
Just how quickly things can end
Like a hero on a platform of friends
This table is so crowded
With people that i don't know
And i never really turn
My thoughts on you
So the image breaks down again
We have a technical
We have a technical
I suppose it's very shady
At least until the lights go out
Advertising posters on the wall
And the young boys singing softly
Do they ever come back
Or is it always at the wrong time
I could crawl around the floor
Just like i'm real
And move a hand in front of my eyes
We have a technical
We have a technical
15.We Are So Fragile
We are so fragile
Advertising lies that are whiter than yours
We are so fragile
They could give us a war just to keep us amused
We are so fragile
I could stay here inside and say it's all been done
We are so fragile
Just pretend i never tried, i'll leave it up to you
We are still so young
And it must be wrong but i'd do it all the same
We are really so shy
There's nothing i can do except believe in you
We could always go home
But everyone says this is the place to be
We are so unnatural
But you wouldn't understand, you only deal with men
