Shuttered Room

The Fixx Shuttered Room Lyrics
1.I Found You

The mental image
Grand illusion
Brought together
By total fusion

Lost for words
Your company holds me
Totally yours
Your mind controls me

Place and time
For rendezvous
Your place or mine
I said I won't touch you

Now visions inside that
Last all day
Come back soon
Oh won't you stay

For you
I found you
I found you... you... oh you

Keeping the senses
Open aware
To try to change you
Who would dare

Visions inside that
Last all day
Come back soon
Oh won't you stay

For you
I found you
I found you... you... oh you
I found you... you... oh you
I found you... you... oh you

The mental image
Grand illusion
Brought together
By total fusion

Lost for words
Your company holds me
Totally yours
Your mind controls me

Keeping your sense aware
To try to change you
Who would dare
Visions that last all day
Oh come back soon
No won't you stay

You...
I found you
I found you... you... oh you
I found you... you... oh you
I found you... you... oh you

I found you


2.Red Skies

Lyricist:Charles Barrett, Cyril Curnin, Peter Greenall, James
West-oram, Adam Woods

Red skies at night, red skies at night
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh oh, oh
Red skies at night, red skies at night
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh oh, oh

Should have taken warning
It's just people mourning, running, hiding, lost
Couldn't find, find a place to go
So it's red skies at night, red skies at night
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh oh, oh

Should have taken warning
It was just people ignoring, running, hiding, lost
Couldn't find, find a place to go
So it's red skies at night, red skies at night
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh oh, oh

Red skies at night, red skies at night
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh oh
So someone's taking over
And it looks like they're aiming right at you and me
And everybody, everybody
Someone says, 'We could be dead by morning'
Someone cries, oh, oh, leaving

Red eyes at night, red eyes at night
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh oh, oh

Red skies at night, red skies at night, red skies at night
Red skies at night, red skies at night, red skies at night
Red skies at night, red skies at night, red skies at night
Red skies at night, red skies at night, red skies at night

Red skies at night
Red skies at night, red skies at night
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh oh, oh
Red skies at night, red skies at night
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh oh, oh, oh oh oh, oh
Red skies at night, red skies at night
Oh oh, woh woh oh, oh oh oh


3.Some People

Lyricist:Barrett, Curnin, Greenall, West-oram, Woods

Some people make it, some people try
Some people break it, some people cry
Some people lose it, some people find
Some people lead us and some are behind

It's a slow, slow break up, that's what we find
It's a so, so make up, make up your mind
It's a slow, slow break up, that's what we find
It's a so, so make up, make up your mind

What is the point of being amused?
I see the people standing abused
They keep their faces buried in hands
They keep their plates clean, but underneath

Some people drink gin, some people dry
Some people drive cars and some people fly
Some people take trains, some people walk
Some people hold it and some people talk

It's a slow slow break up, that's what we find
It's a so so make up, make up your mind
What is the point of being amused

I see the people standing abused
They keep their faces buried in hands
They keep their plates clean, but underneath

They like to fly with the jet-setters
They want to be with the go-getters
And then the moment comes around

Once again we'll find
He's taking pills and drink just
To find his peace of mind

Some people do it, some people won't
Some people do da, some people don't
Some people Liepzig, some people Prague
Some people lucid and some people vague

It's a no go faker, that's what we find
It's a no no taker, what's on your mind?
It's a no go faker, that's what we find
It's a no no taker, what's on your mind?

What is the point of being amused?
I see the people standing abused
They keep their faces buried in hands
They keep their plates clean, but underneath


4.Lost Planes

Lyricist:Charles Barrett, Cyril John Curnin, Peter John Greenall,
James West-oram, Adam Terence Woods

When you're hanging
From a parachute
Whistling wind
Might play your flute

So forget it
Lost traffic

Someone said
You couldn't fly the plane
So I guess
This journey's all in vain

So forget it
Lost traffic

We're on a lost plane
Should've taken the train
On a lost plane
So forget it

Flying high
But your fuel is low
How far can
A missing plane go?
Lost traffic

Tell you that
You're flying radar
But it's that much safer
To take your own car

On a lost plane
Should've taken the train
On a lost plane
So forget it

On a lost plane
Should've taken the train
On a lost plane
So forget it

Lost traffic

On a lost plane
Should've taken the train
Lost traffic

On a lost plane
Should've taken the train
Lost traffic

On a lost plane
Should've taken the train
Lost traffic

On a lost plane
Should've taken the train

On a lost plane
Should've taken the train
On a lost plane
So forget it

So forget it

On a lost plane
Should've taken the train

On a lost
On a lost plane

On a lost plane
Lost plane
So forget it


5.Stand or Fall

Lyricist:Barrett, Curnin, Greenall, West-oram, Woods

Crying parents tell their children
If you survive don't do as we did
Son exclaims there'll be nothing to do to
Her daughter says she'll be dead with you

While foreign affairs are screwing us rotten
Line morale has hit rock bottom
Dying embers stand forgotten
Talks of peace were being trodden

Stand or fall
State your peace tonight
Stand or fall
Let's state it tonight

Is this the value of our existence?
Should we proclaim with such persistence?
Our destiny relies on conscience
Red or blue, what's the difference?

Stand or fall
State your peace tonight
Stand or fall
Let's state it tonight

It's the euro theater
It's the euro theater
It's our human dimension

Empty face reflects extinction
Ugly scars divide the nation
Desecrate the population
There will be no exaltation

Stand or fall
State your peace tonight
Stand or fall
Let's state it tonight

It's the euro theater
It's our human dimension
It's the euro theater
It's the euro theater

Empty face reflects
Empty face reflects
It's politics in effect
Empty face reflects

It's crying parents tell their children
If you survive don't do as we did
Well, this son exclaims there'll be nothing to do to
Her daughter says she'll be dead with you

An empty face reflects
An empty face reflects
Your politics in effect
An empty face
An empty face reflects

At the euro theater
At the euro theater
Oh, oh


6.I Live

Lyricist:Charles Barrett, Cyril John Curnin, Peter John Greenall,
James Fletcher West-oram, Adam Terence Woods

And the feeling just ain't right
As I stare into the light
What a time to take a fall
I can't stand the night

And it's long in the tooth
But short in foresight
It's all that I have
And so I'll hold on tight
So I live

That's about all I can say
I breathe nearly every day
Some say that it's better this way
That I live, I live

Take a chance to hear the call
Make a stand to be so tall
'Cause it's all that you have
Like winter to follow the fall
Like winter to follow the fall
So I live

That's about all I can say
I breathe nearly every day
Some say that it's better this way
That I live, I live, wo oh, wa oh, I live
Some say that it's better this way
That I live, I live

And the feeling just ain't right
As I stare into the light
What a time to take a fall
I can't stand the night

And it's long in the tooth
But short in foresight
It's all that I have
So hold on tight

So hold on tight
So hold on tight
So hold on tight
So I live

That's about all I can say
I breathe nearly every day
Some say that it's better this way
That I live, I live, wo oh, wa oh, I live
Some say that it's better this way
That I live, I live


7.Shuttered Room

Lyricist:Charles Barrett, Cyril John Curnin, Peter John Greenall,
James Fletcher West-oram, Adam Terence Woods

All I feel is the shuttered room
The striped light of detention
All I smell is shattered bone
Far too relevant to mention

In the shuttered room
In my shuttered room
In my shuttered room
In my shuttered room

Small holes where lead kissed the walls
This is no crime of passion
How many died without a cause
Could it be pure invention?

In the shuttered room
In the shuttered room
In the shuttered room
In the shuttered room

Shuttered, shuttered, shuttered, shuttered room
In my shuttered room
Shuttered, shuttered, shuttered, shuttered room
In the shuttered room

The whimpered truths of the shuttered room
Mean so little as we reflect
Over bodies who fell in the pile
You know how the story is vile

In the shuttered room
In the shuttered room
In the shuttered room
In the shuttered room

Shuttered, shuttered, shuttered, shuttered
Shuttered, shuttered, shuttered, shuttered
Shuttered, shuttered, shuttered, shuttered room
In my shuttered room, in my shuttered room


8.The Strain

Back to back
The president cracks
There's no power left
In the old white shack

It's the same

New Washington
Red button, one push
And the whole world is gone

It's the same
I don't think that
He should take the
Strain

Live off your nerves
You've run out of verve
Take those pills
And you'll feel no ills

It's the same
I don't think that
He should take the
Strain

He can't have it all his own way
Same chance, same place but wrong day
He can't have it all his own way
Same chance, same place but wrong day
Oh no

Scream at nature to steal some papers
On with the camera to get the answers
Tipping the waiter to find who that was
Leaving the night go undercover now

The strain
Strain

Back to back
The president cracks
There's no power left
In the old white shack

It's the same

New Washington
A red button, one push
And the whole world is gone

It's the same
I don't think that
He should take the
Strain

He can't have it all his own way
Same chance, same place but wrong day
He can't have it all his own way
Same chance, same place but wrong day

He can't have it all his own way
Same chance, same place but wrong day
He can't have it all his own way


9.Cameras in Paris

A call is taken
The plans are made
The pawns are placed
For the masquerade
Closed hotel rooms
Off the Place Pigalle
All concealed
Behind the femme fatale
Take it from me
There's cameras in Paris
Take it from me
There's cameras in Paris
Political friction is greased by detante
One country can and another one can't
All the movements in a metaphor
Who is the sleeper found dead on the floor
Take it from me
There's cameras in Paris
Some papers are missing
Exposure's automatic
Exposure's automatic
Exposure's automatic
In Paris
Umbrellas rolling in Hyde Park
Announcement made don't be seen after dark
Tension rising in the Eastern Block
Who are the two men with the
Same swiss clock
Take it from me
There's cameras in Paris
Some papers are missing
There's cameras in Paris
So take it from me
There's cameras in Paris
Some papers are missing
Exposure's automatic
Exposure's automatic
Exposure's automatic
In Paris
So take it from me
There's cameras in Paris
Some papers are missing
Exposure's automatic
Exposure's automatic
Cameras in Paris
Cameras in Paris
Exposure's automatic


10.The Fool

A sort of place you don't often find
A quiet room to go out of your mind
Will you excuse me whilst I confide
I've found a place where I can hide
Lights out by nine as a rule
One grey blanket and a stool
Angels fear to tread where stands the fool
But the air is warm, and the walls are cool
So I'm kept away, so here I'll stay
Even the judges kneel and pray
I am the winner in any event, SNAP!
Who was the man who said society's bent?
So I'm locked away in my padded cocoon
A square of hell where nightmares bloom
Armageddon couldn't come too soon
But if it only meant that I could leave this room
Here stands the Fool
