1.Disaster
Baby, I've got some words for you
When you get up in the afternoon
But you're not at home
You're out there alone
So I've called to capture devices for spies with vices
Generals have fought for spies like you
Our lady with secrets written all over her body
But I've heard you lie
I've read your file
You knew to gather your life's work and shred it to pieces
Baby come on, baby come on, baby come on
Baby baby won't you come on
Baby come on, baby come on, baby come on
I think there's someone here to see you
You've got disaster on your mind
They see the secrets in your eyes
They've got disaster on their minds
If they were to find you on their side
Baby come on
Disaster on your mind
2.For Agent 13
My baby, don't go
I never meant to feel that way
My baby, don't go
To be so haunted by a touch
My baby don't go
I'll play it back every day
My baby, don't go
Nothing is fair in love and war
My baby, don't go
I'll write you a love song
My baby, don't go
I'll love you whenever I'm wrong
My baby, don't go
I play it back every day
It's your love, don't tell them what you know
They have ways of making you tell them
He messed up
Forsaking our love
It's your life and it's your love
3.And You Lied To Me
All the dangerous games you played out after dark
They never asked, or forced to hold you down
In the chamber where you built all those radios
In the years that passed from forty one to forty five
And the neighbours asked you to take those antennas down
Those are eyesores, eyesores
Left in, in-between the wars
You aren't even who you said you are
All the sporting goods you once sold on Mondays
All the bolts and balls couldn't satisfy your interest
All the things you tried but that remind you of the day
When you went around defusing bombs
Changing into costume to follow all the criminals in the land
Who'd ever thought you'd join a band
You aren't even who you said you are
And you lied to me, you aren't even who you said you are
When you went around defusing bombs
Changing into costume to follow all the criminals in the land
Who'd ever thought you'd join a band
4.Devastation
They won't play the song on the radio
The war is being played out
On our televisions
One stare, the drug of the nation
The cultural enriching now begins
Like a nation, like a nation
Your remaining people have no
Trenches left from which to fight
The rich; the nation hold their guns
Will rich buy back the mayhem?
While they're moving you're an owl
There's a devil flying overhead
What a fucking pile of shit
Devastation, devastation
5.Because Tonight
I know what you wrote for me
I know you're fed up with me
Can't you see what it's doing?
If you're past understanding
I'll hold these words for you
I won't say anything
Because tonight
When everyone's gone home
You'll grab the knife
To satisfy your dark needs
Because tonight
You'll suffocate by dawn
And all the world
Had wished you hadn't gone away, dear
Don't go
6.Rides The Rails
Gotta find another way to go on
You've got no way to find me
Now my father rides the rails
A northern trouble trails
He knows what paths to hike
Just enough in time to stop it
Gotta find another way to go on
You've got no way to find me
All the towns folk moved away
Even now it's hard to say
When all the villagers would run and hide
The evidence not far behind
And now my father rides the trains
With the evidence inside his brain
He must move to stay alive
Just because he knew how to stop it
7.On Bedford And Grand
You wouldn't believe the things that we saw
When we took the L train
The centre of culture at the time
You live in the city, city to city
You wouldn't believe the things that we saw
It was a chemical warfare
Were we good or were we being bad?
Creating culture on the bang
You live in the city, city to city
8.Cedric's War
I believed in obsessions
You believes in ineptitude
They had need for suggestions
When they had to tell the truth
And you wasted all your youth
Cedric fought for the English
He was rich but his parents knew
How to cope with the anguish
Of dealing with the views
That they read about in the news on Sundays
