1.Broke Up The Time

Lyricist:David Andrew Craig, David Hyde (gb), Barry James Hyde, Ross
George Thom Millard

If I hear one more person talking about these days
Saying it's hard in this day and age
I will explode, how do they know
What it was like 2000 years ago?

A look at our cousins in the sea
They seem highly together, they seem to be free
But do they know what's going down on the land
Because the're down in the water with their heads in the sand

We broke up the time and put the pieces in a different order
We broke up the time and put the pieces in a different order
We look around when we bring it down
We gather everybody and look at what we found

People try and tell me that you don't feel ashamed
It's nearly finished but it's not over yet
And the facts are being so easy to forget
But do you know when we go over your head?
I don't mean to offend but you never understand

We broke up the time and put the pieces in a different order
We broke up the time and put the pieces in a different order
We look around and when we bring it down
We gather everybody and look at what we found

Broke up the time and put the pieces in a different order
(Broke up the time and the put the pieces in a different order)
Broke up the time and put the pieces in a different order
(Broke up the time and put the pieces in a different order)

We broke up the time and put the pieces in a different order
(Broke up the time and the put the pieces in a different order)
We broke up the time and put the pieces in a different order
(Broke up the time and put the pieces in a different order)

We look around and when we bring it down
We gather everybody and look at what we found


2.The Beginning Of The Twist

Lyricist:David Andrew Craig, David Hyde (gb), Barry James Hyde, Ross
George Thom Millard

It's time to wake up, it's time to change
Let's get it started, I feel like there's so much to rearrange
Come on, I need your help with this
Why don't we get it started with a kiss?

If memory serves
Then why am I still waiting for it to return?
My head feels like it's just about to slip
This morning is just a blur, today lingers on like a bad year

I can feel it, I conceal it
I can feel it coming, the beginning of the twist
I can feel it, I conceal it
I can feel it coming, the beginning of the twist

I can feel it, I conceal it
Beginning of the twist
I can feel it, I conceal it
I can feel it coming, the beginning of the twist

We get along well, we talk a lot
I made some promises, I guess that I totally forgot
Forgive me, my mind is elsewhere
Feels like somebody's thrown it down the stairs

It's not good enough
(I've heard these same excuses before)
I thought you knew enough about it
But you still want more, today I don't feel so ill
If only I could find the time, I want to kill

I can feel it, I conceal it
I can feel it coming, the beginning of the twist
I can feel it, I conceal it
I can feel it coming, the beginning of the twist

I can feel it, I conceal it
Beginning of the twist
I can feel it, I conceal it
I can feel it coming, the beginning of the twist

I can feel it, I can feel it
I can feel it coming, the beginning of the twist
I can feel it, I can feel it
I can feel it coming, the beginning of the twist

I can feel it, I can feel it
I can feel it coming, the beginning of the twist
I can feel it, I can feel it
I can feel it coming, the beginning of the twist

I can feel it, I conceal it
Beginning of the twist
I can feel it, I conceal it
Beginning of the twist

I can feel it, I conceal it
I can feel it coming, the beginning of the twist
I can feel it, I conceal it
I can feel it coming, the beginning of the twist


3.Sleet

Lyricist:David Andrew Craig, David Hyde (gb), Barry James Hyde, Ross
George Thom Millard

Look at that, what a treat
Like winter without any sleet
It's getting late but we're still on our feet
Let's stay awake so I can hear you speak

Look at that, what a shame
So many words follow his name
None of them are complimentary
None of them are anything but grief

We make it harder
Harder than it needs to be
But it makes us happy
Like happy used to be

The week is long but the strong are the weak
It's getting late but we're still on our feet
Let's stay awake so I can hear you speak
Let's got to bed but let's not go to sleep

Look at that, what a shock
Didn't care if you were ready or not
What a boy, what a fool, what a cheat
But you can tell that there is love in my deceit

We make it harder
Harder than it needs to be
But it makes us happy
Like happy used to be

The week is long but the strong are the weak
It's getting late but we're still on our feet
Let's stay awake so I can hear you speak
Let's got to bed but let's not go to sleep

The week is long but the strong are the weak
It's getting late but we're still on our feet
Let's stay awake so I can hear you speak
Let's got to bed but let's not go to sleep
Let's got to bed but let's not go to sleep
Let's got to bed but let's not go to sleep


4.Think Tonight

Lyricist:David Andrew Craig, David Hyde (gb), Barry James Hyde, Ross
George Thom Millard

You put the color in my eyes
Every time I get to see your smile
I can't admit it but I think I really like it

Let's take stock of the shock
How can we review, how can we review?
We're getting tired anyway
Let's save it for tomorrow

You will never find anyone
To come along and take you by surprise
Because you've had too much to think tonight

You will never find anyone
To come along and take you by surprise
Because you've had too much to think tonight

I take risks but I don't rely on them
I get the feeling that she likes to take them now and then
Am I right or am I wrong? I wonder should we carry on

You will never find anyone
To come along and take you by surprise
Because you've had too much to think tonight

You will never find anyone
To come along and take you by surprise
Because you've had too much to think tonight

If you try to talk to me
I will stare you down
If you try to take over me
I will turn you around

You will never find anyone
To come along and take you by surprise
Because you've had too much to think tonight

You will never find anyone
To come along and take you by surprise
Because you've had too much to think tonight


5.Everything's Changing Today

Lyricist:David Andrew Craig, David Hyde (gb), Barry James Hyde, Ross
George Thom Millard

You say the same things every night
To the same face every night
You wear the same clothes every night
To the same place every night

We're looking forward, never looking back
We're headed down a one way track
One for sorrow, two for joy

We're going out tonight
We're going out tonight
We're going out tonight

Every thing's changing today
Getting further and further away
State you're in, sink or swim
Plans you've made, plans you've made

We've never made a difference
But tonight it will be different
It opened up in front of us
And it can change for every one of us

I'll take a look into your private life
I'll take a look and I will make it mine
With the excitement of a child

We're going out tonight
We're going out tonight
We're going out tonight

Every thing's changing today
Getting further and further away
State you're in, sink or swim
Plans you've made, plans you've made

And you know that it's easy
To get lost in these dark places
And you know that it's easy
To get lost in these dark places

But you never ever know
Never ever know what you might find

Every thing's changing today
Getting further and further away
State you're in, sink or swim
Plans you've made, plans you've made


6.See What You Want

Lyricist:David Andrew Craig, David Hyde (gb), Barry James Hyde, Ross
George Thom Millard

I'm not in love with the plans you've made
You know I'm afraid and you play on it
But I'm tempted to take whatever I can make from it

My mouth is open but my eyes are closed
You're feeding me lines that are a hundred years old
There's a place at your table and I'm hungry for more of it

Apart from the questions
What's going on in your mind?

See what you want to see
See what you want to see
But don't reflect what you can't see in me
See what you want to see

My memory's fading and I'm feeling faint
I wake in the morning and I can't see straight
I'll roll with the punches and make the most of it

And apart from the questions
What's going on in your mind?

See what you want to see
See what you want to see
But don't reflect what you can't see in me
See what you want to see

See what you want to see
See what you want to see
But don't reflect what you can't see in me
See what you want to see

See what you want to see
See what you want to see
But don't reflect what you can't see in me
Don't reflect what you can't see in me


7.Sale Of The Century

Lyricist:David Andrew Craig, David Hyde (gb), Barry James Hyde, Ross
George Thom Millard

The nights are getting longer
And the days are getting warmer and so are you
Warmer on the trail to create a fairy tale or two
Your story's so hypnotic, charismatic
That I think I'm in love with you, I think I'm in love with you

I didn't mean it, I changed my mind already
Plus I had a bad feeling about it anyway
Don't cheapen yourself for the sale of the century
I didn't mean it, I've changed my mind

Take some tracing paper
And go and draw the faces of the people at work
They will leave, turn into nightlife
Stay in and relax as they go berserk
Why don't they go berserk?

I didn't mean it, I changed my mind already
Plus I had a bad feeling about it anyway
Don't cheapen yourself for the sale of the century
I didn't mean it, I've changed my mind

I didn't mean it, I changed my mind already
Plus I had a bad feeling about it anyway
Don't cheapen yourself for the sale of the century
I didn't mean it, I've changed my mind


8.Work Is Never Done

Lyricist:David Andrew Craig, David Hyde (gb), Barry James Hyde, Ross
George Thom Millard

The city's getting bigger
But everybody slowly moves away
Your accent gets thicker
The blood is getting thinner every day

And the planes are getting higher
The oil is getting deep below our feet
The sun is on fire, at least that is the word out on the street
At least that is the word out on the street

The dust will never settle
We're always on the run
The dust will never settle
Work is never done

The lights are burning brighter
Everybody has a number and a price
This tide is getting higher
We're all drowning in a world of good advice

You believe in short of nothing
'Cause nothing cannot be taken away
The sun is on fire and this city will be gone within a day
This city will be gone within a day

The dust will never settle
We're always on the run
The dust will never settle
Work is never done

The dust will never settle
We're always on the run
The dust will never settle
Work is never done

Go from here
I'll take you down, take you deeper out of town
If we ever make it out of here
I love this city but it's burning to the ground
It's burning to the ground

The dust will never settle
We're always on the run
The dust will never settle

The dust will never settle
We're always on the run
The dust will never settle
Work is never done

Work is never, work is never
Work, work is never done


9.Walking Backwards

Lyricist:David Andrew Craig, David Hyde (gb), Barry James Hyde, Ross
George Thom Millard

Sometimes it feels like
We are walking backwards up a mountain
Sometimes it feels like
We don't know which way to go

We made a promise
To keep our mouths shut, stay out of the way
That promise went too far
That promise went too far away

Walking backwards
With nothing to say
Walking backwards, backwards
To get out of the way

Sometimes it feels like
We are stabbing in the dark with nothing to say
But when the lights go out
See no, hear no, speak no evil

Sometimes you're thinking that it's fine
At least we're both alive
Life's what you make it but trouble is never far
Trouble is never far away

Walking backwards
With nothing to say
Walking backwards, backwards
To get out of the way

Walking backwards
With nothing to say
Walking backwards
Backwards to get out of the way

Sometimes it feels like we've woken up
In an empty room, all the doors are shut
I can see your breath and feel your fingertips
I reach for the light but I can't find the switch

What happens if we fall between
All the tiny gaps that we exist within?
That was then, this is now
Well, we will find our legs and keep moving around

Walking backwards
With nothing to say
Walking backwards, backwards
To get out of the way

Walking backwards
With nothing to say
Walking backwards, backwards
To get out of the way

Walking backwards
With nothing to say
Walking backwards, backwards
To get out of the way

Walking backwards
With nothing to say
Walking backwards, backwards
To get out of the way
To get out of the way
To get out of the way
To get out of the way

Walking backwards
Walking backwards
Walking backwards
To get out of the way


10.Radio Heart

Lyricist:David Andrew Craig, David Hyde (gb), Barry James Hyde, Ross
George Thom Millard

I've been waiting by the radio for someone like you
But the people that are calling in today are few and far between
You were listening, their words are dull their syllables slow
But every day I have to call into this show
Last week I decided to give it a go and I caught your ear when I
said

I'm a man who sits at his desk
So I guess I've got nothing to lose with this request
I want a girl who doesn't like to dress to impress
A girl with a radio heart, a girl with a radio heart
We've never met but we've never been apart
A girl with a radio heart

I took a risk and gambled on a voice I didn't know
Turned up my lonely radio, I leave my job, sell what I own
For someone who knows what the radio knows
Expose what the radio knows, I've been waiting by the radio for
so long
Then you tuned in, not listening then I caught your ear when I
said

I'm a man who sits at his desk
So I guess I've got nothing to lose with this request
I want a girl who doesn't like to dress to impress
A girl with a radio heart, a girl with a radio heart
We've never met but we've never been apart
A girl with a radio heart

I want a girl who doesn't like to dress to impress
A girl with a radio heart, a girl with a radio heart
We've never met but we've never been apart
A girl with a radio heart,

A girl with a radio heart, a girl with a radio heart
We've never met but we've never been apart
A girl with a radio heart

A girl with a radio heart, a girl with a radio heart
We've never met but we've never been apart
A girl with a radio heart

A girl with a radio heart, a girl with a radio heart
We've never met


11.This Is Not The World

Lyricist:David Andrew Craig, David Hyde (gb), Barry James Hyde, Ross
George Thom Millard

Too much noise this morning
Like new buildings falling down
But you clap your hands
Because your dreams are boring
You get up and start throwing
You thoughts around

The pavements crack and the cars are stalling
Everybody wears their frown upside down

This is not the world
This is not the air
This is not a crime
This is not a care

Disgusting and dirty
We spoiled ourselves completely
We used to take it easy
Humble and discretely

The pavements crack and the cars are stalling
Everybody wears their frown upside down

This is not the world
This is not the air
This is not a crime
This is not a care

This is not the world
This is not the air
This is not a crime
This is not a care

This is not the world
This is not the world
This is not the world
This is not the world

Too much noise this morning
Like new buildings falling down

The pavements crack and the cars are stalling
Everybody wears their frown upside down

This is not the world
This is not the air
This is not a crime
This is not a care

This is not the world
This is not the air
This is not a crime
This is not a care

This is not the world
This is not the world
This is not the world
This is not the world


12.Hard To Bear

Lyricist:David Andrew Craig, David Hyde (gb), Barry James Hyde, Ross
George Thom Millard

She broke your heart yesterday
It tore you apart when she turned the other way
You came to me and I didn't know what to say
But now I do, I've got something to share with you

I know it's hard to bear, difficult to watch
Hard not to care when it means so much
And it's hard to bear but not impossible as such
Hard to bear but not impossible as such
You're not always gonna miss her t-t-t-touch

You lock yourself in your room
You keep the curtains closed to help seal in the gloom
Your bedclothes still stink of her stale perfume
But you hope the smell doesn't vanish too soon

I know it's hard to bear, difficult to watch
Hard not to care when it hurts so much
And it's hard to bear but not impossible as such
Hard to bear but not impossible as such
You're not always gonna miss her t-t-t-touch


13.Return Of The Beserker

Lyricist:David Craig, Barry Hyde, David Hyde, Ross Millard

We lie because the truth is bad
We are good but we are sad
We lie because the truth is bad
We are good but we are sad

We lie because the truth is bad
We are good but we are sad
We lie because the truth is dead
We are alive but we're over fed

We lie because the truth is bad
We are good but we are sad
We lie because the truth is bad
We are good but we are sad


14.Boring The Children

Lyricist:David Craig, Barry Hyde, David Hyde, Ross Millard

Too many normal people on the television
These people are the stars but they should be tuning in
Get rid of them, get rid of them, get rid of them
Because they're boring the children

Too many normal people on the box
A great invention has been ruined by the bosses
Of the channels and the stations
And it's quality you cannot trust
Don't waste my time, time, time

Or I'll turn you off, put the child lock on
Lose the code and never switch you
Back on, back on, back on
How do I escape this fate?
I can remember when it used to be great

Too many normal people in this competition
Promise after promise that they'll never be forgotten
Well, I can promise them they will be heartbroken
And they're boring the children
Don't waste my time, time, time

Or I'll turn you off, put the child lock on
Lose the code and never switch you
Back on, back on, back on
How do I escape this fate?
I can remember when it used to be great

On Friday night I turn over so many times
My television started to whine about it
On a Friday night he loses his mind
He says he wants to leave me

(Too many normal people on the TV)
Too many normal people on the TV
He says he wants to leave me
(Too many normal people on the TV)
Too many normal people on the TV, TV


15.Chaos

Five, four, three, two, one
Let's go

Go, get on your marks, look up to the skies
Up, up and away, let's travel at the speed of light
In a split second we'll be out of sight

Goodbye to the human satellite, on your marks
Out of five, four, three, two, one
Five, four, three, two, one, go

Oh, the chaos
Does everyone wants to come with you and us?
Oh, the chaos
Does everyone what's it got to do with us?

Oh, the chaos
Does everyone what's it got to do with us?
Oh, the chaos
Does everyone what's it got to do with us? Go

Five, four, three, two, one, go

Get up off your knees, stand tall when you talk to me
And never confuse lies and apologies
Look into my eyes, believe me when I say
Now you've been told a lie but you still saw the line
But I know that was still half time

Goodbye to the human satellite, on your marks
Out of five, four, three, two, one
Five, four, three, two, one, go

Oh, the chaos
Does everyone what's it got to do with us?
Oh, the chaos
Does everyone what's it gonna do with us?

Oh, the chaos
Does everyone what's it gonna do with us?
Oh, the chaos
Does everyone what's it gonna do with us? Go

Hey, hey
Hey, hey

Five, four, three, two, one
Five, four, three, two, one

Oh, the chaos
Does everyone what's it got to do with us?
Oh, the chaos
Does everyone what's it got to do with us?

Oh, the chaos
Does everyone what's it got to do with us?
Oh, the chaos
Five, four, three, two, one
One, two, three, four, five

Oh, no
Five, four, five, four
Five, four, three, two, one


16.Baron

So here we are
Queuing on the street
The ground keeps sticking to your feet
It's early

The queue is a thousand strong
The town is closing down
Businesses are turning to the shadows
As the shutters go down

I hate to say I could be sold
The shutters I was leaving here
Nice to meet you on your way

I'm gladly watching
The walls come tumbling down
What you pulling out your hair for?
Let's dance as it hits the floor

I'm gladly watching
The walls come tumbling down
What you pulling out your hair for?
Let's dance as it hits the floor

Every few decades
The plans tend to go astray
The blue is turning to the gray
It's the end of the headache

Everybody is at home
And the streets are alone
The only sound is papers that are blown
By the winds from the sea

I hate to say I could be sold
The shutters I was leaving here
Nice to meet you but you're on your way

I'm gladly watching
The walls come tumbling down
What you pulling out your hair for?
Let's dance as it hits the floor

I'm gladly watching
The walls come tumbling down
What you pulling out your hair for?
Let's dance as it hits the floor
