1.Aborigine
Starts so slowly, just a place to stay
Somewhere warm where they can spend their days
Air is stagnant and he feels unclean
Hair hangs greasy and he smells obscene
Something's happened and it's not so good
Broken bottles in the face of love
Mottled flesh under the harsh strip-light
Nylon sheets to keep them warm at night
Once it's started it can never stop
Fills his head with a dark damp fog
In the distance is a constant cry growing louder as the years go
by
Days get longer and he starts to drink
Spews his stomach in the kitchen sink
Tells his children they should have respect
Tells his wife that she's a nervous wreck
He hates his wife and he hates them all
He hates his wife and he hates them all
Can't be bothered when it's all the same leave it long enough,
it goes away
In the meantime stomach turns to fat
She tries to tell him but he can't have that
She's only 'jealous' and she's 'telling lies'
Standing naked in his flesh disguise
It took him months to get her into bed, now he's got her he just
wants her dead
She wants excitement and she needs romance, all she gets are
dirty underpants
Stupid animal that can't know why something's wrong so someone
has to die
The wind is blowing and the rain falls down
Sends his family on a trip down town
Sees them die in a burning wreck
Sees them burn, smokes a cigarette
He hates his wife and he hates them all
He hates his wife and he hates them all
He knows he's finished but he can't stop now
And he wants to end it but he can't see how
And it's all in pieces, thrown it all away
Oh, but he's not ugly, he just looks that way
And he wants some quiet and he needs it now
But the scream he's started's getting far too loud
And he still pretends he does it just for now
His day will come he'll lose it all somehow
Killing time until his ship arrives
Been dead ten years but he's still alive and the time is wasted
and the ship has sunk
But he hasn't noticed and he comes home drunk
And he's just dead weight, he'll never leave the ground
He tries to stand but he keeps falling down and it's hard to
know he doesn't count for
much
He's not a has-been, just a never-was
Oh he hates his wife and he hates them all
He hates his wife and he hates them all
Hates his wife
Hates them all.
2.Tunnel
Tunnel The tenth of July, 1985
Don't ask stupid questions
I got bored
I had nothing to do I was bored
I had, I had not
Fifteen weeks since the light has gone
Fifteen weeks with the same shirt on
A thousand bodies stink and sweat and somebody's trying to roll
a cigarette
Clean mister
Clean mister
Clean missed her
Clean missed her
Relax
Clean mister
Fifteen weeks with the same shirt on
Clean mister
Clean mister
Clean missed her
Clean missed her
Just relax and enjoy it
it's nothing really
Let's get you out of those wet clothes
C'mon, just lift yourself up, get these awful trousers off
You'll feel so much better afterwards
Just close your eyes and let it ooze all over you
Trickling down your back, warm and sticky
Isn't that nice？
No, don't speak just let yourself go and you'll sink
Let yourself go sinking down, deeper and deeper and deeper
At three o'clock that morning I awoke in an unfamiliar room in
my hands like sodden paper
It was a thick, glutinous, pale green liquid
The sunlight through net curtains
Going six hundred miles an hour into brilliant white light
There's a brass band playing somewhere
Roll over on to your back and wait for the talculm
But what's that smell？
Pull back the light, crisp, linen sheets and find that sweat
they were only two hours
before
The bedroom tips sideways
NoNoNoNoNoNoNO!
Let me out!
Let me out! ...
I've got to get out of that stinking shit-hole
I would lie there and see green fields and see the sky blue, the
sky blue above me
And be clean again
I know I'll never, ever be clean again
Never be clean again.
3.The Will To Power
Walking from the scene of some humiliation feeling like a dog.
Walking from the scene of some romantic triumph feeling like
God.
Walk towards the small town lights, felt brighter than the lot
of them
Can have anything, can never fail.
The will to power, the force of destiny and efficiency.
Generations glimpse the high pitch, play it for real, four
billion spectators look on;
Judging, analysing, losing; sinking, swimming, striving,
longing, failing.
Weak flesh projected through Europe on speed of all the needs;
Suck and sate, forces of fate.
A polemic, a sharp cutter, a fashion, a spirit, a simplicity.
The only choice, the only voice, in the darkness.
The only choice, the only voice.
1933, where are you now？ Where are the broken bottles？ Where's
the toffs slumming it？
Where's the fanaticism？ Where's truth and beauty？

4.The Mark Of The Devil
The mark of the devil is upon you
Your look is no happier than mine
Damnation is waiting in the mirror but you shouldn't mind
Their legs start a feeling in your stomach
Their eyes knock you backwards with a glance
Your pride sinks unnoticed in the river given half a chance
And your past is just a bedroom full of implements of cruelty
And a list will bind your eyes as you grow old
But you want to join the laughter sharing simple shreds of
feeling
But you fidget and your heart is growing cold
Smiles left unfollowed start to haunt you
Chances that perished long ago
The devil is waiting in the bathroom with your worthless soul
The years pull their weight down on your cheekbones
The nights out are hanging from your waist
The years float like dust held in the sunlight with an
aftertaste
And your past is just a bedroom full of implements of cruelty
And a list will bind your eyes as you grow old
But you want to join the laughter sharing simple shreds of
feeling
But you fidget and your heart is growing cold
La la lala lala la la...
And your past is just a bedroom full of implements of cruelty
And a list will bind your eyes as you grow old
And you want to join the laughter sharing simple shreds of
feeling
But you fidget and your heart is growing cold
And your past is justa bedroom full of implements of cruelty
And a list will bind your eyes as you grow old
And you want to join the laughter sharing simple shreds of
feeling
But you fidget and your heart is growing cold
La la lala... Oh...
5.Dogs Are Everywhere
Dogs are everywhere almost everywhere that I go
They have too much and then
They have too much again and then more
They leave their scent behind them everywhere they go
Oh dogs are everywhere that I go
Oh dogs are everywhere almost everywhere that I go
They have too much and then they have too much again and then
more
They leave their scent behind them everywhere they go
Oh dogs are everywhere yes dogs are everywhere yes dogs are
everywhere that I go
They always wag their tails at all the pretty girls and older
women
They find their own way in and they rip up everything that I
believe in
Sometimes I have to wonder about the dog in me
Oh dogs are everywhere yes dogs are everywhere, yes dogs are
everywhere that I go
They get down on all fours when you walk through the door
They whine and beg around your feet like a dog for something
sweet
They sink their teeth in you, they're tearing you in two
Remains are buried out of doors
Oh I want some more
I want some more
Sometimes I have to wonder about the dog in me
Oh dogs are everywhere yes dogs are everywhere oh dogs are
everywhere that I go
Sometimes I have to wonder about the dog in me
Oh dogs are everywhere yes dogs are everywhere
Yes dogs are everywhere that I go that I go, that I go, that I
go
Everywhere, everywhere, everywhere, everywhere
Dogs are everywhere.
6.They Suffocate At Night
His body loved her, his mind was set on other things
Keep your face out of sight and your thoughts to yourself
And this went on for several nights festering in silence,
growing in the dark
And this they saw as love.
Love
So sad to see
They suffocate at night
Oh this they saw as love
Love
So sad to see to see it slowly die
She met his wishes, he found that he had changed his mind
Now the fit is too tight and the bedroom too warm
The days are filled with things to do
Night-time lies so hollow and memories betray
Oh memories of love
Love
So sad to see
They suffocate at night
Those memories of love
Love
So sad to see to see it slowly die
Two years have passed, two years of emptiness inside
And the grey skies above just show how far I went wrong
I wonder if she's living there the way that I recall
The way I'll always think of you
And when I think of you I think of love
Love
So sad to see
They suffocate at night
You know I think of love
Love
So sad to see to see it slowly die
I wrote you a letter
I threw it away
I wrote you a letter
I threw it away
I need her
I know I don't need her
I need her
Oh Oh-oh...
Dadalala...
7.Little Girl(With Blue Eyes)
You're just a little girl (with blue eyes)
Everybody looks at you (well, it's your day)
And you're stepping from the black car
But you'll be getting back in soon (and on your way)
Little girl (with blue eyes)
There's a hole in your heart and one between your legs
You've never had to wonder which one he's going to fill in spite
of what he said
You'll never get away hey you'll give it up one day come what
may
Dad's not got a shot-gun
But his look's enough to murder you (see what you've done) and
forget about the paintings
'Cos you'd better get the washing done (oh something's wrong)
Little girl (with blue eyes)
There's a hole in your heart and one between your legs
You've never had to wonder which one he's going to fill in spite
of what he said
You'll never get away
Hey you'll give it up one day come what may
Face down on the pavement, chalk lines round your little hands
(hit and run)
And now a mother sits in silence in a darkness she can't
understand (where you've gone)
Oh little girl (with blue eyes)
There's a hole in your heart and one between your legs
You've never had to wonder which one he's going to fill in spite
of what he said
You'll never get away
Hey you'll give it up one day come what may.
8.Master Of The Universe(Sanitised Version)
I am the master of this universe and I've got so big it hurts
Raise your eyes and graze your knees
Oh for your master is displeased, because you dared to doubt his
word
His polished surface dulls and cracks
Your bitter laughter breaks his back
I am the master of this universe
I taught you everything you know
Now you must bear your master's curse
Oh for I will not let you go
Now you must walk this town 'til dawn in every public open place
Your master's look upon your face
Oh now look what you have done
You've spoilt it all for everyone
The master vegetates alone in a corner of your home
You feed him scraps when in the mood
You beat him hard and keep him nude
You cut your master down to size
Now he cries and he cries now
Lalalalala lalala...
And now he begs both night and day
He lets you take him on your knee
He keeps on losing consciousness, he dearly loves his new
mistress
Now he repeats it every night
Every night on point of death
'You are the master of this universe'
Now he cries and he cries now
'You are the master of the universe
You are the master of the universe
You are the master of the universe
You are the master of the universe!'
9.Goodnight
Now it's coming to the end of the evening
The time when the ceiling sways and objects jerk out of place
Your eyelids heavy, you make your way down the yellow streets
past rows and rows of houses
Curtains drawn tight against the cold night air
To a flight of stairs which lead to a room where a bed is
waiting for you to lie down
Perhaps alone, perhaps not and go to sleep again
They wait alone in unused rooms
They sit and they remember
Oh, please remember
So you lie on your back in the dark and listen to the blood
rushing in your ears
And the soft 'tick, tick, tick' of your watch against the
mattress springs
Patterns merge behind your eyes
Purple and green, glwoing gently and all is soft with furry
darkness
You yawn once turn on your side and fall to sleep again
They wait alone, they bathed your eyes when nights were cold
Remember
Oh, please remember
There's something you've forgotten
When you awoke later that night the bedroom was cold and you
were alone
Alone and afraid of the dark
Watching
Waiting
Watching
Waiting
As you lie on your back naked beneath the cold sheets
Not dead, just sleeping
Sleeping
And you will never wake again.
10.97 Lovers
Ninety-seven lovers twisted out of shape and just one kiss could
set them straight
Ninety-seven lovers twisted out of shape and just one kiss could
set them straight
I know a woman with a picture of Roger Moore
in a short towel and dressing-gown pinned to her bedroom wall
She married a man who works on a building site
Now they make love beneath Roger every Friday night Oh
Ninety-seven lovers twisted out of shape and just one kiss could
set them straight
Ninety-seven lovers rose to meet the sun
And when the day was over there were only ninety-one
Another I know
Well, she laughs too loud with her friends
Playing it safe on the surface to give her heart time to mend
And then one day without warning he walks unannounced through
the door
And he picks her heart up off the table and he watches it smash
on the floor
Ninety-seven lovers twisted out of shape and just one kiss could
set them straight
Ninety-seven lovers rose to meet the sun
And when the day was over there were only ninety-one.
11.Simultaneous
Oh, there's a place for you
You'd better stay in it
A place for everything and of course all you can do is talk
about it
Oh, you've got it all
Yes you've got it all
Yes you've got it all
You've got it all
It let you down
Now it doesn't seem so simple that dirt gets everywhere
And your mouth won't get you out of it
Standing naked, standing bare
Oh you knew it all
Yes you knew it all
Yes you knew it all
You knew it all
It let you down
Now see it all burning, your contract in ashes, your
clean-living lovers.
Your reasonable wishes, your time-tabled kisses
Your well-rehearsed phrases, your separate bedrooms, your
forbidden places
You're out on the moorland
You're naked and bleeding with no kind of shelter and no place
to hide in
You're screaming for mercy, abandonned, forsaken
You're screaming for mercy and then you awaken
La la lala lala lala la...
Oh.
12.Manon
Manon Manon keeps a corpse in his home
Manon Manon picks the flesh from her bones
Manon Manon Manon
Manon hard and white as a stone
Manon Manon sits alone, all alone
Manon Mano Manon
Oh, Manon Manon Manon leave her body alone
Manon Manon put a match to your home
Manon Manon Manon
Oh, Manon
Dans les jardins on peut voir Manon un enfant de quarante-cinq
ans
Ca femme est morte, oui, c'est vrai, mais il cueillit la peau de
ces os
Derriere les arbres, il voit une jeune fille en jouant avec son
frere
Il les approche
Je vous renonce Manon
Vous etes un vrai chien
Laissez son corps en paix Manon Manon.
13.Blue Glow
So late looking up at your window
As it bathes me in your
Blue midnight glow
I wonder why you're not sleeping
And i wonder
If you could know
Tonight
Make it tonight
Tonight
Make it tonight
Crouched down by a bush at the roadside
I watch as
You pass me by
Lost down by the side of the river
And no light comes
From the empty sky
Tonight
Make it tonight
Tonight
Make it tonight
I left home at midnight
Made for the horizon
No sense of direction
I walked on for miles,
Oh i hope that i find you
I hide from the headlamps
No lights in the window
The whole town is sleeping and somewhere you lie,
Oh, i wish i could find you
Oh i'm lost by the river
My clothes are in tatters
My face scarred by branches
I shiver with cold,
No, i don't think i'll find you
Tonight
Make it tonight
Tonight
Make it tonight
Won't you make it tonight？
Oh say you'll meet me tonight
Won't you make it tonight？
Say you'll meet me tonight.
