The Bridgeheads Foreigners Lyrics
1.Secret Ink

in the land of joy
when the night has come
we didn't wanna go home
we didn't wanna go
it reminds me how i thought
reminds me how i talked
under the darkness of the lamps
jumping over the fence

Chorus :

Verse :

all the things they keep
under lock and key
you see clearly through them
you can see them clear
we signed our silent deal
written with secret ink
the faint wind moaned through the trees
the faint wind moaned through the streets

Chorus :

Verse :

in the land of joy
when the night has come
we didn't wanna go home
we didn't wanna go
it reminds me how i thought
reminds me how i talked
under the darkness of the lamps
jumping over the fence


2.Gold Rush

My legs are wading in the snow
i sense a calm before a storm

I dug the cave to hide from wolves
it reminds me of the boy i was
a long ago

I'll go some place that no one knows
where there ain't no gold where there ain't no wars
it has to be a place like this

I'll go some place that no one knows
a picture worth of thousand words
it has to be a place like this

You can't see the forest because of the trees
when friends are becoming enemies
need i say more?

I'll go some place that no one knows
where there ain't no bad where there ain't no worse
it has to be a place like this


3.Tinnitus

I.
I'm nowhere home
like everyone
they don't know
it's easier so

We've built this thing
but our master plan
went so wrong
it went all wrong

Year after year
your soul is heavier
you're losing your sight and your hearing every day
a powerless little creature

Not long ago you were a happy man
all that you want is just to be happy again
why does it take you so long?

From 2 pm
to 5 pm
it can go wrong
they will go home

Like a football fan
against a football fan
and they don't know
what's the purpose

II.
I have those things in my head when i go to sleep
interesting things in my head when i eat a meal
but when i'm talking to them
they say they don't know
what i'm talking about

I've told you fifteen times
but you haven't got it yet
fifteen times and you still don't know what we're about
such a cemented mind


4.My Town

I used to waste all my time
i used to hate the way i feel
i used to trust to no one
i used to never know what's good for me

There's something wrong in my town
where i used to die in my room alone
it's full of ghosts in my town
it happens every day to everyone

In my town

I used to cover my ears
so that i wouldn't hear that noise
they act like nothing happened
at the same time they're eyeing everyone

They play their parts in my town
often they forget to draw the shades
i watch their lives from afar
well, i don't wanna live my life like that

In my town

Where black is snow white

It's full of lies in my town
stories that haven't took place
dreaming those dreams in night-time
about the ones that they can never have

People run in lines and circles
but they never notice anything
i hear their lies in daytime
i hear them cry in night-time

In my town

Where black is snow white


5.Bullies

He would like to get his life back
they salt his open sores
kids from town let's stop the bullies
he's no longer what he was

He will watch the collapse of their regime from afar
he will feel no hate as they feel no fear, no love

And all the lies were covered up with lies

They would say something about her
it would become a running joke
a way to look good in front of the others
her shyness made it even worse

And she will watch the collapse of their regime from afar
she will feel no hate as they feel no fear, no love

And all the marked attacked as darkness fell

I will watch the collapse of your regime from afar
i will feel no hate as you feel no fear, no love


6.Fire

lack of time
still a lot needs to be done
(we're) set apart when best was yet to come

you flew too high
wax from your wings melted down
feathers came off under the blazing sun

everything you ever wanted is due
you were always held up as an example of fortitude

protect your fire
keep it away from water
keep it safe from that cloud above

relations in contexts
fires in objects
little's changed
secrets are not resolved

everything you ever wanted is due
you were always held up as an example of fortitude

it was just a moment
all that we've done
will it mean anything to anyone?
it was just a moment
all that we've done
can we keep all our feelings?

everything you ever wanted is due
you were always held up as an example of fortitude

it was just a moment
all that we've done
will it mean anything to anyone?
it was just a moment
all that we've done
i know the fire's somewhere else when it's gone


7.Friendship

i was glad to see you but you didn't believe me
you asked me something but i didn't hear it
my mind was somewhere else again
i still care a great deal my friend

the sun was burning my back
the wind was chilling my face
we've all become hypocrites since then
the things that meant so much still do

I felt so lonesome, all of a sudden
i couldn't breathe, i couldn't talk to others
then i recalled a certain thing you said
and it really made me laugh, again

the sun was burning my back
the wind was chilling my face
we've all become hypocrites since then
the things that meant so much still do

people still say things they don't believe in
and you could puke every time you hear it
imagine all those phony crooks we've met
our kids will one day meet with theirs

the sun was burning my back
the wind was chilling my face
we've all become hypocrites since then
the things that meant so much still do

the river got all icy and frozen
you watch the things you gave your life to, broken
sometimes we're punched below-the-belt
so you stand and build it up again


8.Best Ones

we have marks on our faces since the day we were born
with this same blood in our veins, underestimated by all
if we could bounce from the bottom just to reach water line
man get up from the ground

and we breathe the same air and we walk the same floor
yet we have different chances since the day we were born
and I have a different voice but still I wanna be heard
like those civilians in wars

if only you'd be here forever
and life would have no end
people like us will stay together
in memories we share

I wish we could be there forever
and that night would have no end
circumstances wouldn't keep us together
in memories we share

we are the best ones


9.Boys

He's walking like a ghost
(on) the wrong side of town
there's nothing to go home for
let's go somewhere far
all summer days indoors
you were saved by friends
where have the boys gone?
it's too late now

Elbow in the face
wrong side of town
just numbers in the papers
as life goes by
where are all these friends that stood by you?
they wanted to grow fast
it's too late now

Lay down your arms boys

He's walking like a ghost
(on) the wrong side of town
memories are back
when friends are gone
you said you're not like dad
now look at you
you've sold your soul for gold
it's too late now

Lay down your arms boys

You end up in a moment when you're not quite sure
what was it for
the more that we are sure the more we are confused
and so are you

Lay down your arms boys


10.Fiction

I.
Disconnected must stay out of touch
they'll silence you when you think too much
where you've grown up
where you see what you've done

You wonder what he would be like
found among those missing ones,
where you've grown up
where you see what you've done

Post code wars lack sense
kids marching in the city of blades
where you've grown up
where you see what you've done

II.
When I was a boy
there were things I didn't know
I trusted everyone
I still want it to be so

III.
I just wanna get out of this movie
characters seem void of any character to me
they keep sending those men back in boxes
'sometimes you're thinking too much' he said

IV.
'And there is nowhere to hide' he said
'nowhere to hide' he said
'nowhere to hide' he said

So better switch on your tv set
'watch daily news' he said
be part of cabaret

We know that king was a criminal
international criminal
so why's he at liberty

And we know he was a criminal
but we prefer ignorance
drums sax and violins

V.
We lived in harmony
on an island with our families
but then came the military
and we've become a colony
they taught us how to speak
they taught us how to think
they taught us principles
the highest principles

But less than them
we're less than them
still less than them
we're less than them

VI.
Another war has replaced another protest song
and I am a powerless ant, a bit of a joke,
a joke. is my life a bit of a joke?
the biggest companies endorse a king of yours
he's just a puppet when they need or don't need war
or gold, no matter how you vote

VII.
You better watch your mouth
'cos they will go through your garbage
they will push you aside
and one day you'll be gone
'cos proof means nothing at all

You should be careful what you say
'cos they will go through your garbage
they will push you aside
would you care when I'm gone
'an idealistic one'

VIII.
Just forget it all now
just forget it all now
it's just a song and
and nothing more than
another song and it
means nothing more than
any other song man


11.Pi

Half a billion years ago there was no life on lands
for a second we were in the dark about how to go about that

You don't need to go this far,
let it be, leave me out

We've begun our arming process in case of self-defence
as human needs started to progress we've found excuses for
ourselves

You don't need to go this far,
let it be, leave me out

A bullet bounced back from the head
the knife got broken on the chest
thieves returned what they've stolen
kids vomited the drugs out
and all the planes missed the target
