The Psychedelic Furs Unreleased Songs Lyrics
1.Mr. Jones

Lyricist:John Ashton, Richard Butler, Tim Butler

Mr. Jones is seventeen and six and twenty four
Moderately pretty, she is all the girls you know
We are going far away, we're going for a ride
Mr. Jones has got a plan if you just come inside

So good so far, slow down ha ha
Movie stars and ads and radio define romance
Don't turn it on, I don't wanna dance

Mr. Jones you're beautiful, your eyes are made of glass
Looking through the window you can see the world go past
Here's another 9 o'clock and here's another day
Wonder how the weather is and what the people say?

So good so far, slow down ha ha
Movie stars and ads and radio define romance
Don't turn it on, I don't wanna dance

Mr. Jones can turn you on and turn you off again
Mr. Jones is all of you who live inside a plan
Put your head upon the pillow, never put it down
That would only wake you up and turn your head around

So good so far, slow down ha ha
Movie stars and ads and radio define romance
Don't turn it on, I don't wanna dance


2.Sister Europe

Lyricist:John Ashton, Richard Butler, Tim Butler, Vince Ely, Duncan
Kilburn, Roger Morris

Stupid on the Steinway
So sick upon a Steinway
The sailors drown

See them drink and fall around
So stupidly

Sister of mine, home again
Sister of mine, home again

Lonely in a crowded room
The radio plays out of tune
So silently

The radio upon the floor
Is stupid it plays Aznavour
So out of key

Sister of mine, home again
Sister of mine, home again

Broken on a ship of fools
Even dreams must fall to rules
So stupidly

Words are all just useless sound
Just like cards they fall around
And we will be

Sister of mine, home again
Sister of mine, home again

Buy a car and watch it rust
Sister see them fall to dust
They fall around

In another crowded room
Paint me like the shirt I'm in
Honestly

Sister of mine, home again
Sister of mine, home again

Sister of mine
Sister of mine
Sister of mine
Sister of mine
Sister


3.Dumb Waiters

Lyricist:John Ashton, Richard Butler, Tim Butler, Vince Ely, Duncan
Kilburn, Roger Morris

Give me all your paper Ma
Gimme all your jazz
Give me something that I need
Something like I have

Mrs. London's coming round
She's coming with her son
Gimme all your paper ah
So I can get a gun

She has got it in for me
Yeah I mean it honestly
She's so mean, ah

Give me all your paper ah
So I can get a train
They just wanna suck you in
To being one of them

Tell her that I'm not in here
Tell her I'm a freak
Tell her that I fall about
Every time I speak

She has got in for me
Yeah I mean it honestly
We all dream, dream

Give me all your paper ah
So I can buy a train
I don't know how I got in here
It's making me insane

Have another cigarette
And have another cigarette
In a room where lovers go
Talking on the telephone

They have go it in for me
Yeah I mean it honestly
They just dream


4.She Is Mine

Lyricist:John Ashton, Richard Butler, Tony Butler, Ely Vince

I hope you get your invitation
It is here for you
Listen to the conversation
Playing pretty tunes

Sorry I can't wait for you
I couldn't stand to stay
You have to get right out of here
You have to get away

I had to pay the doorman
Just to let me use the door
I had to use a muscle man
To pick me off the floor

They're making up things that we've all heard before
Like romance and engage and divorce
(Fall in love)
You have to be crazy to stay in this place
You just have to laugh at it all

I met this girl and called her Ma
I called her everything
I called her Fab and Mrs.Fish
I didn't get her name

She's making me a pair of shoes
So I can run away
Making me a plastic wig
She's making me again

I didn't want to put you on
Or tape you down at all
Or leave you here so all alone
Or put you in a room

I had to pay the doorman
Just to let me use the door
(Fall in love)
I had to use a muscle man
To pick me off the floor
(She is mine)

Some people are dancing and some fall in love
To the music of military tunes
(Fall in love)
You have to be crazy to stay in this place
You have to get out of it all
(She is mine)

They're making up things that we've all heard before
Like romance and engage and divorce
(Fall in love)
You have to be crazy to stay in this place
You just have to laugh at it all

6.Love My Way

Lyricist:John Ashton, Richard Butler, Tim Butler, Vince Ely

There's an army on the dance floor
It's a fashion with a gun my love
In a room without a door
A kiss is not enough in

Love my way, it's a new road
I follow where my mind goes yeah

They'd put us on a railroad
They'd dearly make us pay
For laughing in their faces
And making it our way

There's emptiness behind their eyes
There's dust in all their hearts
They just want to steal us all
And take us all apart but not in

Love my way, it's a new road
I follow where my mind goes

Love my way, it's a new road
I follow where my mind goes

Love my way, it's a new road
I follow where my mind goes

So swallow all your tears my love
And put on your new face
You can never win or lose
If you don't run the race yeah


7.President Gas

Lyricist:John Ashton, Richard Butler, Tim Butler, Vince Ely

You have to have a party
When you're in a state like this
You can really move it all
You have to vote and change

You have to get right out of it
Like out of all this mess
You'll say yea to anything
If you believe all this but

Don't cry, don't do anything
No lies, back in the government
No tears, party time is here again
President gas is up for president

Line up, put your kisses down
Say yea, say yes again
Stand up, there's a head count
President gas on everything but roller skates

It's sick the price of medicine
Stand up, we'll put you on your feet again
Open up your eyes
Just to check that your asleep again
President gas is president gas again

He comes in from the left sometimes
He comes in from the right
It's so heavily advertised that he wants you and I

It's a real cowboy set, electric company
Every day is happy days
It's hell without the sin, but

Don't cry, don't do anything
No lies, back in the government
No tears, party time is here again
President gas is up for president

Line up, put your kisses down
Say yea, say yes again
Stand up, there's a head count
President gas on everything but roller skates

It's sick the price of medicine
Stand up, we'll put you on your feet again
Open up your eyes just to check that you're asleep again
President gas is president gas again
Oh, gas

President gas
No, president gas
No, president gas
Aoo, president gas

Oh, president gas
Oh, gas
President gas

Lyricist:John Geza Ashton, Richard Lofthouse Butler, Timothy George
Butler

This is my shirt, this is yours
And this is called a dream
It must be the soap you use
And mine is called so kleen

It was so well advertised
All day on channel Nine
We live in the soap commercial
We are all a lie

Listen to this
Listen to this
Listen to this
Listen to this

I live in a factory
And we are all the same
I live in a family
And all the traffic screams

It was so well advertised
All day on channel Nine
We live in the soap commercial
We are all a lie

Listen to this
Listen to this

Listen to this
Channel Nine

Soap commercial

9.Heartbeat

Lyricist:John Ashton, Richard Butler, Tim Butler

She's a heartbeat
Yeah, she's a heartbeat
She's a door at the end
Of a dead end street
She's a heartbeat

And footsteps, I hear her footsteps
Here come rumors and lies
Here comes my life of crime
I hear footsteps

When the music goes down
And the traffic is stopped
And nobody talks at all
When they turn up the town
I hear a heartbeat

And I've shut all the shades
And the radio stops
And nobody moves at all
When the city's asleep
I hear a heartbeat
I hear a heartbeat

In the shadows, out in the shadows
It's like walking on glass
It's the end of the show
In the shadows

And sweet dreams
She sells you sweet dreams
It's like movies and trash
Where there's always a girl
And she's sweet dreams

When the music goes down
And the traffic is stopped
And nobody talks at all
When they turn up the town
I hear a heartbeat

And I've shut all the shades
And the radio stops
And nobody moves at all
When the city's asleep
I hear a heartbeat
I hear a heartbeat

She's a heartbeat
Yeah, she's a heartbeat
She's a door at the end
Of a dead end street
She's a heartbeat

And sweet dreams
She sells you sweet dreams
It's like movies and trash
Where there's always a girl
And she's sweet dreams

When the music goes down
And the traffic is stopped
And nobody talks at all
When they turn up the town
I hear a heartbeat

And I've shut all the shades
And the radio stops
And nobody moves at all
When the city's asleep
I hear a heartbeat

Heartbeat
I hear a heartbeat
When they turn off the sound
I hear a heartbeat

Heartbeat
I hear a heartbeat
When the music goes down
I hear a heartbeat
Heartbeat


10.All of This and Nothing

Lyricist:J Ashton, Richard Butler, Tony Butler

A phone book full of accidents
A girl to drive your car
A suit to wear on Mondays
And a coat, a magazine

A heavy rain a holiday
A painting of the wall
A knife, a fork and memories
A light to see it all

You didn't leave me anything
That I can understand
Hey I never meant that stuff
I want to turn you 'round

Dominoes a pack of cards
A picture of the queen
A dress to wear on Sundays
And a handle for the door

A letter that I sent for you
A note you left for me
A wave, a pack of cigarettes
A pocket full of beads

You didn't leave me anything
That I can understand
Hey I never meant that stuff
I want to turn you on

You didn't leave me anything
That I can understand
Hey I never meant that stuff
I want to turn you 'round

You didn't leave me anything
That I can understand
Hey I never meant that stuff
I want to turn you on

The sound of people getting drunk
A ceiling and a sky
A bank that's full of promises
A telephone that lies

A visit from your doctor
He crawls in through the door
A mirror you can look in
So that you know where you are

You didn't leave me anything
That I can understand
Hey I never meant that stuff
I want to turn you 'round

You didn't leave me anything
That I can understand
Now I'm left with all of this
A room full of your trash


11.Psychedelic Furs - Love My Way

There's an army on the dance floor
It's a fashion with a gun my love
In a room without a door
A kiss is not enough in

Love my way, it's a new road
I follow where my mind goes

They'd put us on a railroad
They'd dearly make us pay
For laughing in their faces
And making it our way

There's emptiness behind their eyes

12.New Dream

Lyricist:John Geza Ashton, Richard Lofthouse Butler, Timothy George
Butler

I see your pretty face
Go to check her and scan
I look in between the lines

And there's somebody new
And she don't know my name
Waiting for a life to change

I've been wasting my time
In the back of a new dream
I've been wasting time
In the back of a new dream

I've been wasting my time
In a brand new dream
Waiting for life to change

I see your pretty face
It's so shaken and blue
I've been looking between the lines

I've been wasting time
In the back of a new dream
I've been wasting time
In the back of a new dream

Nobody's gonna fake
Every time you tell the lie
And nobody's gonna tie my shoes
Or tie me up in chains

As a girl I want it all
To tell you everything she knows
And that anything to sleep with you
When your eyes are closed

And I've been wasting all my time
In the back of a new dream
I've been wasting all my time
In the back of a new dream

I've been wasting all my time
In the back of a new dream
I've been wasting all my time
In the back of a new dream


13.Heartbreak Beat

Lyricist:John Ashton, Richard Butler, Tim Butler

I'm a heartbreak beat, yeah, all night long
And nobody don't dance on the edge of the dark
We've got the radio on and it feels like love
But it don't mean a lot and it feels like love and it's all that
we've got

There's a heartbreak beat playing all night long
Down on my street and it feels like love
Got the radio on and it's all that we need

There's a heartbreak beat
And it feels like love
There's a heartbreak beat
And it feels like love

And the beat don't stop and we talk so tough
And there's a perfect kiss somewhere out in the dark
But a kiss ain't enough and the world don't stop every time that
you call And the world don't stop every time that you fall

There's a heartbreak beat playing all night long
Down on my street and it feels like love
Got the radio on and it's all that we need

There's a heartbreak beat
And it feels like love
There's a heartbreak beat
And it feels like love

I'm a heartbreak beat, yeah, all night long
And nobody don't dance on the edge of the dark
We've got the radio on and it feels like love
But it don't mean a lot and it feels like love and it's all that
we've got

There's a heartbreak beat playing all night long
Down on my street and it feels like love
Got the radio on and it's all that we need

There's a heartbreak beat
And it feels like love
There's a heartbreak beat
And it feels like love

There's a heartbreak beat
I'm a heartbreak beat
I'm a heartbreak beat
I'm a heartbreak beat


14.Mr. Jones (Single Version)

Lyricist:John Ashton, Richard Butler, Tim Butler

Mrs. Jones is 17 and 6 and 24
Moderately pretty
She is all the girls you know
We are going far away
We're going for a ride
Mr. Jones has got a plan
If you just come outside

So good so far
Slow down ha ha
Movie stars and ads
And radio define romance
Don't turn it on
I don't wanna dance

Mr. Jones is beautiful
Your eyes are made of glass
Looking through the window
You can see the world go past
Here's another 9 o'clock
And here's another day
Wonder how the weather is
And what the people say

So good so far
Slow down ha ha
Movie stars and ads
And radio define romance
Don't turn it on
I don't wanna dance

Mr. Jones can turn you on
And turn you off again
Mr. Jones is all of you
Who live without a plan
Put your head upon the pillow
Never put it down
That would only wake you up
And turn your head around

So good so far
So good ha ha
Movie stars and ads
And radio define romance
Don't turn it on
I don't wanna dance


15.Valentine

Lyricist:John Geza Ashton, Richard Lofthouse Butler, Timothy George
Butler

With all her talk of all the others
When it shadows everything
And I can't think
About her silence and her rings

I see no place to pin my thought
And where's what's true between the lines
And in her eyes
I see nothing not a sign

And I'm untied
I can't unwind
Your valentines
And I'm untied

I can't unwind
Your valentines

Sunday morning comes too soon
To leave me standing in my light
And there's no time
To set it straight or take a side

And I'm untied
I can't unwind
Your valentines
And I'm untied

I can't unwind
Your valentines

I see no place to pin my thoughts
And where's what's true between the lines
And in her eyes
I see nothing not a sign

And I'm untied
I can't unwind
Your valentines
And I'm untied

I can't unwind
Your valentines


16.All That Money Wants

Lyricist:John Ashton, Richard Butler, Tim Butler

City sky comes down like rain
Through all the alleys to the sea
I hear footsteps getting louder
Drowning in my sleep

Painted lies on painted lips
That promise heaven tastes like this
I don't believe that I believed in you

All that money wants
All that money wants
All that money wants

Sunday's child will fall through faith
I feel I'm falling out of grace
Grey city sky comes down like rain
To drown me in my sleep

People fade and I forget you
I hear footsteps, see their faces
But it all means nothing to me now

All that money wants
All that money wants
All that money wants

City sky comes down like rain
Through all the alleys to the sea
I hear her footsteps getting louder
I'm drowning in my sleep

Painted lies on broken lips
That promise heaven tastes like this
Came home pushed and full of pins

Sunday's child will fall through faith
I feel I'm falling out of grace
I see the sky comes down like rain
To drown me in my sleep

People fade and I forget you
I hear footsteps I see faces
But it all means nothing to me

All that money wants
All that money wants
All that money wants
All that money wants

People fade and I forget you
I hear footsteps, see their faces
But it all means nothing to me now


17.I Don't Mine

Lyricist:J Ashton, R Butler, T Butler

Lit like Halloween
A road top signs that I can't read
Dream from out of place
And aimed at empty songs that he said

On knees I wait
From falling off my feet and God is gold
Dust a shallow grave
Will follow you and me and fall on you

Sleep comes
It's like a dream and conversation speaks
In made up lines repeat
Say what I said

Red light or green
Scared but I can't speak
Paved boredom gray
Take what I need from out of place

Sleep comes
It's like a dream and conversation speaks
In made up lines repeat
Say what I said

Lit like Halloween
They nailed up signs but I can't see
And tongues that sing like breathe
Impersonate you, me, you

Sleep comes
It's like a dream and conversation speaks
In down my sleep repeat
Say what I said

A mirror tries to fill my time
A boredom eyes blind
With all that's yours that you call lives
And aimed at empty songs and he said

A mirror tries to fill my time
(Sleep comes)
A boredom eyes blind
(It's like a dream and conversation speaks)
With all that's yours that you call lives
(In made up lines repeat)
I don't mine
(Say what I said)
(Say what I said)


18.Wedding

Lyricist:John Geza Ashton, Richard Lofthouse Butler, Timothy George
Butler

Crooked heals on battered boots
Shoot down ragged miles
I'm coming home
I'm like a girl

In all her rags
And all her pearls
I hear her talk
Through vicious teeth

Sing god is gone
Stop hanging on my sleeve
And I can't speak
And all of that will never please

A hollow moon hung like a heart
Stars like dirty sparks
On dirty seas and never seen
And all of that and all of these

I hear her dust
Fall at her feet
And Christ and all His crows can't keep it neat
So what of me and all that I don't wanna be

A bitter taste, a bitter pill
Says nothing's ever true
And ever will become of me
Or make a sense of what I see

On broken nerves in ragged clothes
Eyes that never close
Stare back at me
And never see and holler names and follow me

What's written now you can't erase
And pages from my past
Get in my way for one of why
I make a stand or take a side


19.House

Lyricist:John Ashton, Richard Butler, Tim Butler

This day is not my life
The passing time is not my life
The thorn that's in my side
Is all these scenes that we regret

The wasted words we can't forget
Through the windows of my room
I hear the traffic breathing slowly
Someplace miles away make promises pay

Shame, will shake this house
Shame, will shake this house

Your dreams are not my life
These broken words are not my life
Your lies are none of my invention
Your promises were not my plan

Now the party girls have gone
I hear the rattle of their heels
Before their footsteps fade
Make promises pay

Shame, will shake this house
Shame, will shake this house

The passing time is not my life
I've been counted down and shouted out
I had everything I wanted
Nothing I can't rise above to let it show was not my plan

Headlines and front pages
Sell weddings and divorces
Make promises pay
Make promises pay

Shame, will shake this house
Shame, will shake this house
Shame


20.Mother-Son

Lyricist:John Geza Ashton, Richard Lofthouse Butler, Timothy George
Butler

Mary comes in a bows
And all her lipstick, pearls and clothes
Come falling down
Come falling at her feet

Got a knife and a spoon
And a rose on my suit
Mother-son

Dark as crows, here above
I keep two feet on my floor
She's like a dove
There's a law she keeps

Come falling down
Steal her things
Come falling down
All her rings
Come falling down

All that she was sold
Second hand, handed you
With a heart to fill my shoes

And mother-son
Dark as crows
She comes knocking down my doors
Sad mother-son

On a cross, in her sleep
On her sheets
With a lie that she keeps
In here, nothing breathes

A penny sent for your thought
She comes knocking down my door
Sad mother-son

Mother-son


21.Parade

Lyricist:J Ashton, R Butler, T Butler

Here comes dawn today
To light the candles burn for you
Here comes dawn again
To burn the both ends down

Here he comes again
Who wants to turn the world for you
Here he comes again
Who can't believe at all

Here comes your parade
Down all the miles for you
Here comes your parade
To light the flags for you

I come wide awake
To shake a dream from out of view
I come wide awake
To lay them all away

Here comes your parade
To turn the world for you
Here comes your parade
Down all the miles for you

Here comes your parade
Down all the miles for you
Down all the miles for you
Here comes your parade

Here comes your parade
To turn the world for you
Here comes your parade
Down all the miles of you

Here comes dawn again
To light the candles burn for you
Here comes dawn again
To burn the both ends down

Here comes your parade
Down all the miles for you
Here comes your parade
To light the flags for you


22.Book Of Days

Lyricist:R Butler, The Psychedelic

The air here tastes like poison
The traffic moves on broken roads
The river runs like silver
My own feelings let me down

She's 14 and she's fading
There's a wasted year for every train that passes
She is leaving someday
Someday never comes

This road is poison
Walk me to the wheels, I fear for my life
This road is poison
Lovers coo goodbye, singing, 'Don't forget me boys'

Tired of waiting in the cheap seats
She is haunted by her failure here
The river runs like silver
My own feelings let me down

She's 24 and feels it
Like a wasted year for every day that passes
She is leaving one day
One day never comes

This road poison
Walk me to the wheels, I fear for my life
This road is poison
Lovers coo goodbye, singing, 'Don't forget me boys'

In Monday morning houses down
Through gravel yards and dirty smoke
To somewhere on the sky line
What I feel is still the same

She's 40 and afraid that there's
A wasted life for every town that passes
She is leaving here but
Nothing here remains

This road is poison
Walk me to the wires, I fear for my life
This road is poison
Lovers coo goodbye, singing, 'Don't forget me boys'


23.Shine

Lyricist:John Geza Ashton, Richard Lofthouse Butler, Timothy George
Butler

Shine, I heard her sing
I need a voice given anything
All I wanna dream
Flattery

Days that never come
To shine a light on the damage done
Some days without a sound
I feel the dark even closer now

I wear it a winter coat
I'm far away but not far enough
What's true is torn
And shouted down

The world's at my feet
And it turns when I speak
And it shines

Shine and all that is
Comes down upon me
Shine and all that is

Sleep, it never comes
I lay awake, all the shutters drawn
Look at me I'm shamed, my bottle done
I hear her beating down on dirty wings

I feel the room move under me
I'm far away but not far enough
What's true is torn
And out of place

The world's at my feet
And it turns when I speak
And it shines

Shine, I heard her sing
A crooked voice and a dirty wings
Beating under me
Flattery

The world's at my feet
And it turns when I speak
On its drums and its wheels
Shine

Shine and all that is
Comes down upon me
Shine and all that is
Comes down upon me
Shine and all that is
Comes down upon me


24.Yes I Do (Merry-Go-Round)

Lyricist:John Ashton, Richard Butler, Tim Butler, Vincent Davey

We are both so second hand
We've been around
It really doesn't matter
Does it anyway today?

All our lies will find us out
When we are dreaming
Really doesn't matter
Does it anyway today?

Oh, when yeah, I want you
Oh, when yes, I do
Oh, when yeah, I want you
Oh, when yes, I do

You're here now
She's now and then but anyway
It really doesn't matter
Does it anyway today?

You and you're beside me
And my medicine
It really doesn't matter
Does it anyway today?

Oh, when yeah
We want you
Oh, when yes, we do

Oh, when yeah
We want you
Oh, when yes, we do

Oh, when yeah
I want you
Oh, when yes, I do

Oh, when yeah
We want you
Oh, when yeah, we do


25.There's a World Outside

Lyricist:John Ashton, Richard Butler, Tim Butler

I can't wait to say goodbye before you break
In you, I get torn in two
You don't see my reflection in my scenes
You fall, I don't come at all

I can almost feel you bleed
You've been falling in too deep
I can almost hear you say
But your words get in my way

Why wait?
There's a world outside
Why wait?
For the reason why

I come soon from the shelter of my room
You don't move coming down on you
I can't fall, all that does is made to crawl
I'm one, leave the world undone

I can almost feel you bleed
You've been falling in too deep
I can almost hear you say
But your words get in my way

Why wait?
There's a world outside
Why wait?
For the reasons why

It ain't always what I want
It ain't always mine

Why wait?
There's a world outside

You can't win coming from the state you're in
In you, what is all makes me is
You don't see my reflections and my scenes
You fall, I don't come at all

I can almost feel you bleed
You've been falling in too deep
I can almost hear you say
But your words get in my way

Why wait?
There's a world outside
Why wait?
For the reason why

It ain't always what I want
It ain't always mine

Why wait?
There's a world outside

It ain't always what I want
It ain't always mine

Why wait?
There's a world outside


26.The Ghost In You

Lyricist:John Ashton, Richard Butler, Tim Butler

A man in my shoes runs a light
And all the papers lied tonight
But falling over you
Is the news of the day

Angels fall like rain
And love is all of heaven away

Inside you the time moves and she don't fade
The ghost in you she don't fade
Inside you the time moves and she don't fade

A race is on I'm on your side
And hearing you my engines die
I'm in a mood for you
For running away

Stars come down in you
And love you can't give it away

Inside you the time moves and she don't fade
The ghost in you she don't fade
Inside you the time moves and she don't fade

Don't you go it makes no sense
When all your talking supermen
Just take away the time
And get in the way

Ain't it just like rain?
And love is only heaven away

Inside you the time moves and she don't fade
The ghost in you she don't fade
Inside you the time moves and she don't fade
The ghost in you she don't fade

Inside you the time moves and she don't fade
The ghost in you she don't fade
Inside you the time moves and she don't fade
The ghost in you she don't fade


27.In My Head

Lyricist:John Ahston, Richard Butler, Tim Butler

I came pulling all the stops
Putting rain on all of this
With the sirens in my sleep
And her sorrow at my kiss

I can't turn away
Hold a hand to when you pray
All her vanity and fate
Written on her crazy face

Here in my head
I hear you say
Here in my head
I hear you pray

Time is running through
Made by others I regret
Remember me I hear it said
Out of faces I forget

Hope you get up off your feet
Shake the dust out of your shoes
City lights and all my jazz
All my demonstrations too

Here in my head
I hear you say
Here in my head
I hear you pray

Time is what it's made
Made by others I regret
Remember me I hear it said
Out of faces I forget

Here in my head
I hear you say
Here in my head
I hear you pray

Here in my head
I hear you say
Here in my head
I hear you pray


28.Here Come Cowboys

Lyricist:Richard Butler, Timothy George Butler

There are colors flashing
People wearing stars and stuff
There are engines cracking
There's a way to turn it off

It gets so hard at times
To take it serious
It really gets to be a drag
When all we really need is love

Here come cowboys
Here to save us all
Here come cowboys
They're so well inside the law
Here come cowboys
They're no fun at all
Here come cowboys

You've been waiting so long
You've been waiting for today
Don't you put yourself on?
Don't you take yourself away?

It gets so hard at times
To take it serious
It really gets to be a drag
When all we really need is love

Here come cowboys
Here to save us all
Here come cowboys
They're so well inside the law
Here come cowboys
They're no fun at all
Here come cowboys

It gets so hard at times
To take it serious
It really gets to be a drag
When all we really need is love

Here come cowboys
Here to save us all
Here come cowboys
They're so well inside the law
Here come cowboys
They're no fun at all
Here come cowboys


29.Aeroplane (Non-LP B-Side)

Lyricist:John Geza Ashton, Richard Lofthouse Butler, Timothy George
Butler, Vincent Ely

I've got a brand new aeroplane
I saw it yesterday
I'm coming 'round to see you
So you really gotta say that

Look we've got a metal house
Look we've got a game
Look here comes my aeroplane
To take us all away while

Up in my plane
Looking for my destination

Everybody's looking up
They're staring at the sky
Look here comes my aeroplane
Bringing us the stuff

Look here comes my heavy bird
Get a suit to wear
Look at all the houses
They're dancing in the air while

Up in my plane
I'm coming down if you want me

Up in my plane
Up in my plane
Up in my plane
Up in my plane

Aeroplane
Aeroplane
Aeroplane
Aeroplane


30.Don't Be A Girl

Lyricist:John Ashton, Richard Butler, Tim Butler

Don't be a girl for all their kisses
For all their kisses taste so sweet
Don't be a girl for all their flowers
All their flowers fade when the day comes

And in your eyes, I've seen it rain
Don't be a girl, not for me
And on your face, I've seen their names
Don't be a girl, not for me

Don't be a girl for all their money
For all their money comes so cheap
Don't be a girl for all they promise
All their promises come so easy

And in your eyes, I've seen it rain
Don't be a girl, not for me
And on your face, I've seen their names
Don't be a girl, not for me

Don't be a girl for all their roses
All their roses tell me they want you
Don't be a girl for all their wishes
For all their wishes don't come true

And in your eyes, I've seen it rain
Don't be a girl, don't complain
And on your face, I see their names
Don't be a girl, not for me

And in your eyes, I've seen it rain
Don't be a girl, not for me
And on your face, I see their names
Don't be a girl, don't complain, not for me


31.No Release

Lyricist:John Geza Ashton, Richard Lofthouse Butler, Timothy George
Butler

Wait 'til midnight comes
Wearing fashion black
She's on a high heel kick
Singing, 'Don't look back'

And all my broken stars
They can make it shine
And all the Motown girls
Singing, 'One more time'

Out of all belief
You're gonna call my name
Out of all belief
In a lonely place

I was killing time
I landed on my knees
I got free money
But no release

I was hit and run
I landed on my face
And I got free money
But no release

There's a neon light
Selling some new sin
And there's a rainbow moon
Singing, 'Don't look down'

You're on a one way ride
Down a dead end street
You better realize
Never walk on by

Out of all belief
You're gonna call my name
Out of all belief
In a lonely place

I was killing time
I landed on my knees
And I got free money
But no release

I was hit and run
I landed on my face
And I got free money
But no release

I was killing time
I landed on my knees
I got free money
But no release

I was hit and run
I landed on my face
And I got free money
But no release

I was killing time
I landed on my knees
And I got free money
But no release

Out of all belief
You're gonna call my name
Out of all belief
In a lonely place

Out of all belief
You're gonna call my name
Out of all belief


32.One more word

Lyricist:John Geza Ashton, Richard Lofthouse Butler, Timothy George
Butler

All your promises
Don't taste so sweet
When the world comes down
Like a satellite

I could make it blue
Yeah, cool and sharp
I've got vanity, yeah
Tearing me apart

I want one more word
That don't taste so sweet
When love comes true
It don't come free

You got chemistry, yeah
I can see it burn
I've been out all night
In the big city, I know it hurts

I need one more word
And I need it now
Ah, I've been told, don't make no sense
When it all comes down

I want one more word
That don't taste so sweet
When love comes true
It don't come free

I want one more word
That don't taste so sweet
When love comes true
It don't come free

I want one more word
That don't taste so sweet
When love comes true
It don't come free

I want one more word
That don't taste so sweet
When love comes true
It don't come free


33.No Easy Street

Lyricist:John Ashton, Richard Butler, Tim Butler, Vince Ely

9 9 9, the police don't come here on easy street
All the boys in their blue suits are lying in the heat
You got no reaction, coming down my hall
You had no attraction for anyone at all

All the dogs are out today running in the sun
Back in the litter, the morning never comes
You got no reaction, knocking on my door
You had no attraction for anyone at all

The day goes at the factory I should be happy look at me
It's definitely no easy street you got no reaction
Coming through my door
You had no attraction for anyone at all

I can see you in the plastic town that an actor sees
I can see you stuck inside of this cage with me
You'll cry like a baby, you cry like a bird
You cry like a lady, you cry like a girl

On easy street, you'll cry like a baby
You cry like a bird, you cry like a lady
You cry like a girl on easy street


34.Like a Stranger

Lyricist:Richard Lofthouse Butler, Timothy George Butler

Nothing goes on today, she says
All of our running 'round to get away
Yes and it's complicated, some now and some later
One of the girls you'd have to say

And you talk like a stranger, you hurt for a change
And they ease you, and cool you, and love you so strange
And you talk like a stranger, you hurt for a change
And they ease you, and cool you, and love you so strange, yeah

Oh when she's lonely, she says
Out of a face that tells you, take me home
Yes and she keeps on talking, it's no blind and sleep walking
One of the girls, you'd have to say

And you talk like a stranger, you hurt for a change
And they ease you, and cool you, and love you so strange
And you talk like a stranger, you hurt for a change
And they ease you, and cool you, and love you so strange, yeah

And you talk like a stranger, you hurt for a change
And they ease you, and cool you, and love you so strange
And you talk like a stranger, you hurt for a change
And they ease you, and cool you, and love you so strange
And you talk like a stranger, you talk like a stranger today


35.Heaven

Lyricist:John Ashton, Richard Butler, Tim Butler

Heaven is the whole of the heart
And heaven don't tear you apart
Yeah, heaven is the whole of the heart
And heaven don't tear you apart

There's too many kings wanna hold you down
And a world at the window gone underground
There's a hole in the sky where the sun don't shine
And a clock on the wall and it counts my time

And heaven is the whole of the heart
And heaven don't tear you apart
Yeah, heaven is the whole of the heart
And heaven don't tear you apart

There's a song on the air with a love you line
And a face in a glass and it looks like mine
And I'm standing on ice when I say that I don't hear planes
And I scream at the fools wanna jump my train

And heaven is the whole of the heart
And heaven don't tear you apart
Yeah, heaven is the whole of the heart
And heaven don't tear you apart

Yeah, heaven
Ah, heaven
Yeah, heaven


36.Imitation of Christ

Lyricist:John Ashton, Richard Butler, Tim Butler, Vince Ely, Duncan
Kilburn, Roger Morris

Another Christ is on the cross
The nails are words, the nails are lies
To make it crawl and make it scream
And make it real and make it bleed
And make it bleed and make it bleed
And make it bleed and make it dream

Imitation of Christ
Imitation of Christ

This you who lie and scream
You fall to dust, you fall to dust
In walls of words, your words are blind
You speak and you are dumb and blind
The word that is your God
Is you who fall so low and fall so far

Imitation of Christ
Imitation of Christ

Fly to the moon dear, sew it on a stool
Ties on the carpet, all the cowboys fall
See the cowboys fat and reeling
Dancing underneath the ceiling
Leave the bar, the theater's closing
Make a wall of your religion

Imitation of Christ
Imitation of Christ
Imitation

Mary, Mary, Mother, Mother
You and me and God the Father
Jesus is a woman too
He looks like all of me and you
Your money talks and all your friends
Will laugh at her pathetic tits

Imitation of Christ
Imitation of Christ
Imitation of Christ
Imitation

Lyricist:John Geza Ashton, Richard Lofthouse Butler, Timothy George
Butler

I hear brand new talk everywhere I go
They got a new word for what we do
When the lights get low

And I, I hear my heart beat black and blue
Don't call it love, it don't keep time
For me and you

I feel shock when the lights get low
I got a heart like crime
Yeah down in my soul

When the lights get low
And the music's loud
And the latest song is hot and cold
'Til the stars go down

And my blood runs cold
And my hands just shake
Got a heart like crime and a pretty face
Ain't all it takes

And I don't call it love
Waiting for the world to stop
And I don't call it love
Waiting for the world

I feel shock when the lights get low
I got a heart like crime
Yeah, down in my soul

I feel shock when the lights get low
I got a heart like crime
Yeah, down in my soul

I got a heart like crime
When the world gets cold

I feel shock when the lights get low
I got a heart like crime
Down in my soul

38.All of the Law

Lyricist:John Geza Ashton, Richard Lofthouse Butler, Timothy George
Butler

When you're out in the crowd, tryin' to make it all pay
And we're tellin' the world
Everything that you said, every word that you say

And we're taking it down
Every word of it's true and you got to get free
Every shot that you take and you've got to get loose

And all of it's true, written in silver, it's only the blues
Written in new words and all of it's true
Written in silver, it's only the blues, written in new words

We got all of the law and there's nothin' to prove
We got all of the dream, yeah, and all of it's free, we got
nothin' to lose
When your vanity fades, I know it's not you
And you got to get straight, every step that you take
And you got to get cool

And all of it's true, written in silver, it's only the blues
Written in new words and all of it's true
Written in silver, it's only the blues, written in new words

Listen, we got it all, we're gonna make it all pay
We got all of the dream and we're telling the world every word
that you say
And we're taking it down, every word of it's true, yeah, you got
to get free
Every step that you take and you've got to get loose

Written in new words and all of it's true
Written in silver, it's only the blues, written in new words


39.Goodbye

Lyricist:John Ashton, Richard Lofthouse Butler, Timothy George Butler,
Vincent Ely

Hello to you hello to me
I've somewhere else to be
Excuses I get all the time
Your answers I don't see

Today is easy isn't it so?
I sit and watch the radio
There's nothing coming on at all

Hello to you hello to me
Ahh, yeah I really care
I'll see you all around sometime
I hope that I'm not there

Today's news is yesterday's news
You don't remember you forget
That's the way the stories all go

Hello to you hello to me
And yes I really care
I'll see you all around sometime
If I ever go back there

Goodbye to you, goodbye again
I've got to get this train
It's nine o' clock already
And I'm twenty minutes late

Goodbye to you, goodbye again
Problems don't exist
I'll see you at the station
You'll be standing in the rain

Today is easy isn't it so?
The man says stop
The clock says now
It's exit time for me

Goodnight to you, goodnight again
I've somewhere else to be
I'll see you all around sometime
I hope you don't miss me

Goodbye to you, goodbye to you
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye to you, goodbye


40.Sometimes

Lyricist:John Ashton, Richa Butler, Timothy Butler, Joe Mcginty

I see you sing
I don't need your praise
I need a hand, she said
You said it's worth all that is mine

Prove it, sometimes

Under a moon that shines like it's day
It hangs like a star, some days
I'm getting blind, I see with your eyes
It's too dark, sometimes

Prove it, sometimes

Your head in my hands, gets darker than night
It's tearing me down, sometimes
The world's like a friend, I find I can smile
Don't say, 'Don't cry'

Prove it, sometimes

I see you sing
I don't need your praise
You hold out a hand, she said
You said it's worth all that is mine

Prove it, sometimes
Prove it, sometimes
Prove it, sometimes

Your head in my hands
It's darker than night
It's tearing me down, sometimes
Under a moon shines likes it's day


41.Entertain Me

Lyricist:J Ashton, R Butler, T Butler

Speak, talk to me
Show what I am
And cannot be
Talk, entertain me

Why the want for
All that I can't touch
And all that I can't see?
Why the want for
All that I can't speak?

And what is mine?
And all I see, speak to me
And what is yours?
Entertain me

Sing, read to me
Sell what I am
Sell what I feel
Sleep, walk to me

Why the want for
All that I can't touch
And all that I can't see?
Why the need for
All that I can't speak?

And what is mine?
And all I see, talk to me
And what is yours?
Entertain me

And what is mine?
And what I see, speak to me
And what is you?
Entertain me, entertain me

Speak, entertain me
Talk to me, don't talk to me
Spell, pay for me

Spell, spell lie for me
Spell, spell want for me
Sing, read to me

Walkie talk and tambourine
Stop, here it comes again
Stop, stop, here it comes again


42.Should God Forget

Lyricist:J Ashton, R Butler, T Butler

And voices louder now, not loud enough
The world around you crawls
And sleeps in other beds and never mind

I see no time and there's not time enough
To burn it all away
I see no hands to hold no faith to praise

No celebration no parade, should God forget you?
And all their faces say
There's nothing owed, there's nothing owed you

It gets too dark, it gets much darker now
Your lies around you fall
On all your plans, on all your wasted time

You watching second hands make second hand
And faith's for those who pray
But all your tears are gone and thrown away

And there's no 'cause to take his place, should God forget you?
And all their faces say
There's nothing owed there's nothing owed you

I see no time and there's not time enough
To burn it all away
I see no hands to hold no faith to praise

And voices louder now, not loud enough
The world around you crawls
And sleeps in other beds and never mind

No celebration no parade, should God forget you?
And all their faces say
There's nothing owed, there's nothing owed you

And there's no cause to take his place, should God forget you?
And all their faces say
There's nothing owed, there's nothing owed you


43.Highwire Days

Lyricist:John Ashton, Richard Butler, Tim Butler

Yeah, they tore up our kisses and ran
On tomorrow's pages
And the lions have eaten the lamb
On tomorrow's pages

There's a day of your life in your hands
Full of people you don't understand

In my highwire days
I can see all the way
I see through the games you play
ln my highwire days

They pushed all the buttons and things
On tomorrow's pages
And the sirens do nothing but sing
On tomorrow's pages

And you put on your prettiest face
And you wait for the news that we made

In my highwire days
I can see all the way
I see through the games you play
In my highwire days

Our dreams have all gone up on sale
On tomorrow's pages
And we paid for the cross and the nails
On tomorrow's pages

And we put on our prettiest face
And we wait for the news that we made

In my highwire days
I can see all the way
I see through the games we play
ln my highwire days

In my highwire days
I can see all the way
I see through the games we play
ln my highwire days


44.Mack The Knife (Live)

Lyricist:Marc Blitzstein, Bertolt Brecht, Kurt Weill

Yeah the shark has such white teeth, dear
And he shows them pearly white
Just a jack knife has Mack, he's dear
And he keeps it out of sight

Johnny Whitey disappeared, dear
After drawing out his cash
But Mack, he spins like a sailor
Did our boy do something rash?

On a sidewalk Sunday morning
There's a body oozing life
Someone's sneaking 'round a corner
Is that someone really mack the knife?

Jenny Diver and Lucy Brown
On a line forms, on the right, dear
Now that Mack is back in town


Lyricist:John Ashton, Richard Butler, Tim Butler

Don't want order, it won't come
There's no why that it goes on
I was tied and I'm undone
I've got all that you don't want

You want order I want more
You want it all and all of it's yours
You want shelter, I get a room
I get a room

My confusion leaves me cold
I've got nothing here to hold
All that's gold will never shine
It was nothing, never mind

I want time, I want it now
My confusion's getting me down
You want shelter, I get a room
I get a room

What of yours is there to keep?
To be there when you sleep
I'm not here to tie your feet
Hold a hand upon your sleeve

Here's a nail to hang the wall
It pays to lose it all
A note to hide behind the door
I get a room

Where you sleep, I laid awake
I saw every time you fake
I held on the hand that takes
And you hate it when I break

You want order, I want more
You want it all and all of it's yours
You want shelter, I get a room
I get a room

I get a room


46.Torch

Lyricist:J Ashton, R Butler, T Butler

A thousand rainy days and I
Spoke on tongues that talk of saints
Burned down days like cigarettes
For your hollow praise

Down the days that you forget
Count the pictures that you keep
Keep it, hide it all away
Let it never show

All of this and I regret
Not a day that I was sent

Celebrated and arose
For your vanity in vain
Framed the faces I applaud
All the same sad eyes

Write the world between the lines
I heard it all, I heard it spoke
Like a name I call my life
Let it never show

All of this, I now regret
Not a day that I was sent

Not a name that I might place
Not at my parade
In the four walls of my room
Standing where I wait

Others praised and I can't come
Tore the pictures off my walls
There's a secret that I keep
Let it never show

All of this, I now regret
Not a day that I was sent
All of this, I now regret

Not a name that I might place
Not at my parade
Framed the faces I applaud
All the same, all alone

Write the world between the lines
I heard it all, I heard it spoke
In the four walls of my room
I'm just feeling all alone


47.Only You and I

Lyricist:John Geza Ashton, Richard Lofthouse Butler, Timothy George
Butler, Vincent Paul Davey

Yeah I fell in love
Like all good dreamers do
Finally in anger
I gave it all to you

I never shouted it
Like we do in school
Knee-jerk negativity
Just never got me through

And Ma she said so carefully
'You don't get a vote
This is not a five and ten
This is not a joke', she said
'It's only you and only I
Bang bang, bye bye'

Now I got a love
To lose myself inside
I don't need to find a face
That I can hide behind

I never shouted it
Like we do in school
Bleed your negativity
Just never got me through

But Ma she said so carefully
'You don't get a vote
This is not a five and ten
This is not a joke', she said
'It's only you and only I
Bang bang, bye bye'

Lose yourself, lose yourself
Lose yourself, lose yourself


48.India

Lyricist:John Ashton, Richard Butler, Tim Butler

India, you're my love song
India, you're my love song in the flowers
You can have me in the flowers
We will dance alone and live our useless lives

India, stupid on the carpet floor
India, stupid on the carpet floor
We dance upon the carpet floor
And reel around

India, India, India, India
India, I'm American, ha ha ha

India, Caroline is really great
She serves the muck upon a tray
And little rich boy, don't you cry
You kiss me in the anodyne
See the ceiling raining spit
The beach is backwards, isn't it?

India, don't you cry
India, see the ceiling raining tears
You will cry a thousand tears
All the women form a line

Put your face upon a line
This is for the discotheque
This is stupid, I object
And I love you, and I love you

And please me, please me, please me
Please me, please me, please me
Please me, please me, please me
India, India, India, India


49.Angels Don't Cry

Lyricist:John Geza Ashton, Richard Lofthouse Butler, Tim Butler

I try to remember a kiss
And I only get sorrow
And yesterday's faded away
Now there's only tomorrow

And everything passes and changes
And comes to an end I know
But nothing is written but old news
Again and again

I know that it's true
There's too many tears
But angels don't cry

Now I see a face in your eyes
But you don't remember my name
We're always a step out of time
Now ain't that a shame

And you've been alone for too long
And nobody cries
If you want to see all of my tears
Take a look in your eyes

I know that it's true
Believe it or not
But angels don't cry

I know that it's true
There's too many tears
But angels don't cry

I could walk away
Or I could walk on by
Or make it all come true
Or say it's all a lie

There's no more tears
When you're out of time
And I might fade away tonight
If you close your eyes

I know that it's true
Believe it or not
But angels don't cry

I know that it's true
There's too many tears
But angels don't cry

I could walk away
I could walk on by
Or make it all come true
Or say it's all a lie

Goodnight to you, goodnight again
I've somewhere else to be
I'll see you all around sometime
I hope you don't miss me

Goodbye to you, goodbye to you
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye to you
Goodbye


51.My Time

Lyricist:John Ashton, Richard Butler

You've got rain in your eyes and a head full of stars
All the tears you can hold in your hand
And a room full of sleep and a promise to keep
Isn't it just like love?

In a world made of law, you're just losing the game
They give you these words but they've taken your name
Now you're out in the cold, now ain't that a shame
Isn't it just like love?

You can have anything you can hold in your hand
And a hero is always alone
At the end of the day it's a price that you pay
With your pieces of love all your pieces of love

And it's my time to turn you around
And it's my time to hold out a hand
And it's my time to turn on a light for you
My time, it's my time

There's a world at the door with her heart in her sleeve
And there's nowhere to turn, there is you
There's a deal to be made and a price to be paid
Isn't it just like love?

You can have anything, you could hold in your hand
And the hero is always alone
At the end of the day it's a price that you pay
With your pieces of love all your pieces of love

And it's my time to turn you around
And it's my time to hold out a hand
And it's my time to turn on a light for you
My time, it's my time

So we stand in the dark and the sun never shows
And you're whispering secrets that everyone knows
So we know that they told you, they just want to hold you
Use you and take you and lose you and fake you

You have everything, you can hold in your hand
But a hero is always alone
At the end of the day it's a price that you pay
With your pieces of love all your pieces of love

It's my time to turn you around
And it's my time to hold out a hand
And it's my time to turn on a light for you
My time, it's my time

It's my time to turn you around
And it's my time to hold out a hand
And it's my time to turn on a light for you
My time, it's my time


52.All About You

Lyricist:John Ashton, Richard Butler, Tim Butler

Now the time is almost done
The race for last is almost run
And almost paid

From where I stand, I've got a view
Over all the miles of you
Where I wait

I know what's true
All about you

Through my window there's a sound
There's a face in every crowd
A lot like you

Is what you wanted, what you took?
All the lies that leave you shook
Leave me cold

I know what's true
All about you

Someone's knocking at my door
Down my stairs, I hear you call
But I won't wake

The seconds move the time along
And all my silence seems so long
But I don't break

I know what's true
All about you

I know what's true
All about you

I know what's true
All about you


53.Better Days

Lyricist:John Ashton, Richard Butler, Tim Butler

People call to say hello
They call to talk about the weather
All the places I don't go
They call to talk to me

And they've got names without a face
And they've got faces I don't see

From the corners of my mouth
I hear your voice come falling down
From the corners of my mouth
Can't hear myself at all

All my senses in a know
It gets too dark in here that I can't move
And I can't feel to touch
And there's you standing in my clothes

A perfect picture with you on my side
I never let it show

From the corners of my mouth
I hear your voice come falling down
From the corners of my mouth
Can't hear myself at all

I can't seem to find my feet
My body's shaking and my tongue can't move
I turn my head to speak
I hear you call my name

I hear you calling me
On better days, on better days

From the corners of my mouth
I hear your voice come falling down
From the corners of my mouth
Can't hear myself at all

From the corners of my mouth
I hear your voice come falling down
From the corners of my mouth
Can't hear myself at all


54.Get A Room

Lyricist:John Ashton, Richard Butler, Tim Butler

Don't want order, it won't come
There's no why that it goes on
I was tied and I'm undone
I've got all that you don't want

You want order, I want more
You want it all and all of it's yours
You want shelter, I get a room
I get a room

My confusion leaves me cold
I've got nothing here to hold
All that's gold will never shine
It was nothing, never mind

I want time, I want it now
My confusion's getting me down
You want shelter, I get a room
I get a room

What of yours is there to keep?
To be there when you sleep
I'm not here to tie your feet
Hold a hand upon your sleeve

There's a nail to hang the wall
It pays to lose it all
A note to hind behind the door
I get a room

Where you sleep, I lay awake
I saw every time you fake
I held on the hand that takes
And you hate it when I break

You want order, I want more
You want it all and all of it's yours
You want shelter, I get a room
I get a room

I get a room


55.Tearing Down

Lyricist:John Ashton, Richard Butler, Tim Butler, Joe Mcginty

The flowers they cover your feet
All the colors of you
And they shine over all I see
And all I see

Is all of the tears that I spent
Those that fell over nothing
And landed here where I stand
And in my hand

I'm tearing down the flowers sent
And all of them
I'm tearing down your hollow heart
And all of that

All the flags that I rose
That I hung out of windows
And stuck on the sky like crows
But you want more

I'm tearing down the flowers sent
But all of them
I'm tearing down your hollow heart
And all of that

All the ribbons they hung in your hair
And you turn in the mirror to me
And I see you there
And I don't care

I took off all the rings from my hand
Yeah, and all of the birds from the sky
Over where I stand
And you want more

I'm tearing down the flowers sent
And all of them
I'm tearing down your hollow heart
And all of that

I'm tearing down your promises
And all of this
I'm tearing all your flowers down
And all of that and this around


Lyricist:John Geza Ashton, Richard Lofthouse Butler, Timothy George
Butler

This is my shirt, this is yours
And this is called a dream
It must be the soap you use
And mine is called So Kleen

It was so well advertised
All day on Channel Nine
This is white and this is blue
And put it on the line

Listen to this listen to this
Listen to this listen to this
Listen to this listen to this
Listen to this listen to this

I live in the factory
And we are all the same
I live in the family
And all the traffic screams

We were so well advertised
All day on Channel Nine
We live in the soap commercial
We are all a lie

Listen to this listen to this
Listen to this listen to this
Listen to this listen to this
Listen to this listen to this
Channel Nine

Soap commercial

57.Shadow in my Heart

Lyricist:John Ashton, Richard Butler, Tim Butler

This poor little rich girl
Wants all she can hold
I know all that she wants
Is my diamonds and gold

And she's nobody's fool
But it's easy to fall
She's a hole in the shadows
Where nobody talks

There's a shadow in my heart
Where the rain never stops
And there's no conversation
Yeah, nobody talks

There's a shadow in my heart
There's a shadow in my heart

I'm out on a ride
And you kiss me so cold
And I know what you want
But it's all I've been sold

I can see through your lies
And I know where you are
You're out in the rain
With the beat of my heart

There's a shadow in my heart
Where the rain never stops
And there's no conversation
Yeah, nobody talks

There's a shadow in my heart
There's a shadow in my heart

This poor little rich girl
She can't find the spark
And she's shooting down stars
Through her hole in the dark

And she's out on a ride
She's got all you've been sold
She's got all of your dreams
All your silver and gold

There's a shadow in my heart
Where the rain never stops
And there's no conversation
Yeah, nobody talks

There's a shadow in my heart
Where the rain never stops
And there's no conversation
Yeah, nobody talks

There's a shadow in my heart
There's a shadow in my heart
There's a shadow


58.Pretty in Pink

Lyricist:John Ashton, Richard Butler, Tim Butler, Vince Ely

Caroline laughs and it's raining all day
She loves to be one of the girls
She lives in the place in the side of our lives
Where nothing is ever put straight
She turns her self round and she smiles and she says
'This is it that's the end of the joke'
And loses herself in her dreaming and sleep
And her lovers walk through in their coaches

Pretty in pink, isn't she?
Pretty in pink, isn't she?

All of her lovers all talk of her notes
And the flowers that they never sent
And wasn't she easy?
Isn't she pretty in pink?
The one who insists he was first in the line
Is the last to remember her name
He's walking around in this dress that she wore
She is gone but the joke's the same

Pretty in pink, isn't she?
Pretty in pink, isn't she?

Caroline talks to you softly sometimes
She says, 'I love you' and 'Too much'
She doesn't have anything you want to steal
Well nothing you can touch
She waves, she buttons your shirt
The traffic is waiting outside
She hands you this coat
She gives you her clothes
These cars collide

Pretty in pink, isn't she?
Pretty in pink, isn't she?

All their favorite rags are worn
And other kinds of uniform
Kitty, you're really free like individuality
You are what you want to be
Until tomorrow the driveway's broken
His doorbell sings its chimes
In time with what and for who
God knows why I tried this
Vicious drug and I shake


59.Until She Comes

Lyricist:John Ashton, Richard Lofthouse Butler, Timothy Butler

Until she comes again
I can hear the things she said
I feel no thoughts to move my head
Until she comes again

And with her step I move my feet
And with her hands I feel my skin
And with her need I find I'm saved
And with her dreams I'm laid

Until she comes again
The sun goes out and night comes in
The time goes round and day grows dim
Until she comes again

And with her step I move my feet
And with her hand I feel my skin
And with her need I find I'm saved
And with her dreams I'm laid

Until she comes
Until she comes

Until she comes again
With all my savings and my sins
There's no good reason to begin
Until she comes again

And with her step I move my feet
And with her hands I feel my skin
And with her need I find I'm saved
And with her dreams I'm laid

Until she comes
Until she comes

Until she comes again
With all her dreams tied in her hand
There is no why to understand
Until she comes again

Until she comes again
The sun goes out and night comes in
The time goes round and day grows dim
Until she comes again


60.Midnight to Midnight

Lyricist:John Geza Ashton, Richard Lofthouse Butler, Timothy George
Butler

When this town gets lonely, I got the New York stars
It feels like turning for you like diamonds in the dark
I got fascination when you call my name
I might make history or throw it all away

It hurts like the first time, it hurts just like crime
When we're hot with confusion from midnight to midnight
It hurts like confusion and words don't come close
When your sweet dreams get lonely, I'll burn a candle then

I'm a town full of strangers of big time and lies
I'm all sirens and love songs shot down in black and white
I got fascination when you call my name
I might make history or or throw it all away

It hurts like confusion and words don't come close
When your sweet dreams get lonely, I'll burn a candle then
It hurts like the first time, it hurts just like crime
When we're hot with confusion from midnight to midnight

Love is no law, love is no crime
It feels of turning sensation and fun times
Love is no law, love is no crime
It feels of turning sensation and fun times

When this town gets lonely, I got the New York stars
It feels like turning for you like diamonds in the dark
I got fascination when you call my name
I might make history or or throw it all away

It hurts like the first time, it hurts just like crime
When we're hot with confusion from midnight to midnight
It hurts like confusion and words don't come close
When your sweet dreams get lonely, I'll burn a candle then
It hurts like confusion, it hurts like confusion


61.Only a Game

Lyricist:John Geza Ashton, Richard Lofthouse Butler

Yeah, we're in on the act
And love's in the back
With all of your roses and you
Yeah, you, you, you, a high heeled girl

And we talk just like jazz
Like a song from the edge
And we move like a piece of the Times
For you, you, you, a high heeled girl

The party goes on till it's late
And there's nobody home
And I look in your face
And I see that I'm here all alone

And it's only a game
And it's only a game
And it's only a game

And it's only a part of the act and love's in the back
And every thing's fun, fun, fun
We're so loose for you, won't you stay?
They're just winding me up to take me away

With a face full of plans
And a dangerous game
We're a two minute hit for a day
For you, you, you, a high heeled girl

With your rings and your drums
And a day at a time
And a foot on the floor of your love
It's you, you, you, a high heeled girl

And the party goes on till it's late
And there's nobody home
And I look in your face
And I see that I'm here all alone

And it's only a game
And it's only a game
And it's only a game

And it's only a part of the act and love's in the back
And every thing's fun, fun, fun
We're so loose for you, won't you stay?
They're just winding me up to take me away

And it's only a game
And it's only a game
And it's only a game

62.Forever Now

Lyricist:John Geza Ashton, Richard Lofthouse Butler, Timothy George
Butler, Vincent Ely

A banker in a tired suit is counting in his head
He's standing in your overcoat, he's lying on your bed
President gas is tap dancing for the banker he's a thief
He isn't very honest but he's obvious at least

You and I are walking past, yeah
Having lost our way
We don't count our money
We are giving it away, yeah giving it away

Oh this policeman is just sitting down in sunglasses and dirt
Undercover now at least so nobody gets hurt
They go through this pantomime, they do it everyday
They'll be back again tomorrow but they don't play for free

You and I are walking past, yeah
Having lost our way
We don't count our paper
We are giving it away, yeah giving it away

Doesn't this remind you of these things we've done before
Like counting all the times, we've seen ourselves in other
scenes
Everybody's busy listening and pulling blinds
This is all so stupid, we're just shouting I want

You and I are walking past yeah
Having lost our way
We don't count our money
We are giving it away, yeah giving it away

Let it stay forever now
Let it stay forever now
Let it stay forever now
Let it stay forever now


63.Danger

Lyricist:John Geza Ashton, Richard Lofthouse Butler, Timothy George
Butler, Vincent Ely

Love is hiding in the city
Here in all of you
Put the place in cages
But don't label it a zoo

Get a girl inside your head
Get out of the way
Write yourself a postcard
When there's nothing left to say

There's danger, I believe it
Wake up, it's a fight
Love me now forever
War's on it's now or never

Mr. Clean Air just went past
Eating chewing gum
He doesn't want to see you
He gets sick when you come

Make yourself up once again
Kick out in a style
Ann don't let her sadness show
She paints on a smile

Danger, I believe it
Wake up, it's a fight
Love me now forever
The war's on, it's now or never

Always it is now
Love me, in the jail house
Pictures of the losers
Crying that's enough

Get a girl inside your head
Get out of the way
Write yourself a postcard
When there's nothing left to say

Love is hiding in the city
Hearing all of you
Put the plays in cages
But don't labor in a zoo

There's danger, I believe it
Wake up, it's a fight
Love me now forever
War's on, it's now or never
Now or never

Oh, baby love

I'm in love with Sophia Loren

I'm in love with the factory
I'm in love with the BBC
I'm in love with your TV
They're so in love with you and me

I'm in love with a nuclear bomb it falls
I'm in love with shopping city dreams
I'm in love with real men
They go through the air for oxygen

Love is just a car like you
That turns so blue and turns so blue
No blue cars will run my world
No playboys will black my word

I would walk a million smiles
For one of your miles Bob
Hey, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop

We love you, we love you, we love you
We love you, we love you, we love you
We love you, we love you

This crazy face for you
You don't have a point of view
You don't have to say, you do

No tears
No colors, yeah

There's conversation
And conversation
Talk about yourself again
Talk about the rain again

Another lie for you
Another point of view
How can you believe in them?
Don't believe in anything

No colors
No tears, yeah

There's demonstrations

And conversation
Talk about yourself again
Talk about the rain again

Lyricist:John Geza Ashton, Richard Butler, Timothy George Butler,
Duncan Kilburn, Roger Morris

Blue cars, big beat
Dead on my feet
I get this heat
Run 'round lime street

Do this, be there
I just don't care
All day day wear
Go home she's there

I don't think that I can stand
I'm so run down
She is oh so out of hand
She's coming down

Run down, who cares
I'm so happy
I get some clerk
Talk talk talk talk

Get up, get down
This is toy town
All day, day wear
Go home, she's there

I don't think that I can stand
I'm so run down
She is oh so out of hand
She's coming down now

Sometimes she says, she loves me
I just don't believe it
All day she says, my set it plays
Love songs all day

It sells toothpaste, razors band-aids
It sells love
And it sells hairspray
Ha ha all day, Monday Monday

I don't think that I can stand
I'm so run down
She is oh so out of hand
She's coming down now

You will have a dress of white
You will have a ring of gold
You will have a paper snow
We'll fall

See the wall, the wall is black
We will have a heart attack
We will be alone and
We'll fall, we'll fall, we'll fall

Fall in love like sailors do
Tell your lover, you'll be true
Sail upon the stupid sea
We'll fall

You will have a sheet of red
Paint the trees, the trees are dead
We will be alone and
We'll fall, we'll fall, we'll fall, we'll fall

Marry me and be my wife
You can have me all your life
Our love will never end
Parties for our stupid friends

Are the children really home?
We will lie upon the lawn
Needles on the beach at Goa
We will have another flower

We will be a part of structure
You will have a face of structure
We will make ourselves a scene
We will live our stupid dream

I am you and you are me
Tie me down, I will be free
Our love will never end
Parties for our stupid friends

Marry me and be my wife
You can have me all your life
Our love will never end
Parties for our stupid friends

Are the children really home?
We will lie upon the lawn
Needles on the beach at Goa
We will have another flower

We will be a part of structure
You will have a face of structure
We will make ourselves a scene
We will live our stupid dream

I am you and you are me
Tie me down I will be free
Our love will have no end

But she won't give you any flowers

Sha la la la la la la sha la la

Sha la la la la la la sha la la
Susan's strange

Susan comes in colors, you are black and white
And won't say 'I love you', oh that would be a lie and

Sha la la la la la la sha la la
Susan's strange
Sha la la la la la la sha la la
Susan's strange

Read the paper, rearrange the flowers

Susan's strange


69.Alice's House

Lyricist:John Geza Ashton, Richard Butler, Timothy George Butler,
Vincent Paul Davey

In the house where Alice lives, Alice's
It's a mess of souvenirs
There to remind you
Telling the time

In the garden where you go
Flowers die
People say it's cold out there
You disagree, she's telling me

Come and spend the day at Alice's house
Have some time away at Alice's house
Write a note saying please don't go
Please don't go

In the softest room you sing
Without a key
The butler is serving tea
Wearing a shirt without any sleeves

Come and spend the day at Alice's house
Have some time away at Alice's house
Write a note saying please don't go
Please don't go

In the bedroom down the hall
Your secrets sleep
It is always late at night
Won't you stay? Why don't you stay?

In the house where Alice lives, Alice's
It's a mess of souvenirs
There to remind you
Telling the time

Come and spend the day at Alice's house
Have some time away at Alice's house
Write a note saying please don't go
Please don't go

Alice's house
Alice's house
Alice's house
Alice's house

Lyricist:John Geza Ashton, Richard Butler, Timothy George Butler,
Vincent Paul Davey, Duncan Kilburn, Roger Morris

No kind of love, no kind of love

I don't wanna make no scene
Lovers come and go
Or make you Mrs. Anyone
Or make you Mr. Me

I'm into you like a train
Into you like a train
Into you like a train
Yeah fall in love, now fall in love

I don't wanna tape you down
Or shack you up with me
Or put you where the flowers go
And get into your mind

I'm into you like a train
Into you like a train
Into you like a train

If you believe that anyone
Like me within a song
Is outside it all
Then you are all so wrong

If you believe that anyone
Like me within a song
Would try and change it all
Then you have been put on
You're so wrong

Into you like a train
Into you like a train
Into you like a train
Yeah fall in love, now fall in love

I don't wanna wear no side
Or complicate it all
Or celebrate your prettiness
And kick you in it all

I'm into you like a train
Into you like a train
Into you like a train

If you believe that anyone
Like me within a song
Is outside it all
Then you are all so wrong

If you believe that anyone
Like me within a song
Would try and change it all
Then you have been put on
You're so wrong

Into you like a train


71.Sleep Comes Down

Lyricist:John Geza Ashton, Richard Butler, Timothy George Butler,
Vincent Ely

It's raining in my head
But no tears come down
And I'm dreaming of you
Until sleep comes around

Sleep comes down
Sleep comes down
Sleep comes down
Sleep comes down

The orchestra's playing
It's so very loud
And I'm biting my nails
Until sleep comes around

Sleep comes down
Sleep comes down
Sleep comes down
Sleep comes down

Sleep comes down
Sleep comes down

The clouds are all running
But no tears come down
And I'm thinking of you
Until sleep comes around

Sleep comes down
Sleep comes down
Sleep comes down
Sleep comes down


72.I Wanna Sleep with You

Lyricist:John Geza Ashton, Richard Butler, Timothy George Butler,
Vincent Paul Davey, Duncan Kilburn, Roger Morris

She comes in like an angel
And goes down like these flats
I don't know why she does all this
It's making her see that

I don't want you always
And I won't hold your hand
I won't give you flowers
I just wanna sleep with you

I just want to sleep with you
I just want to sleep with you

I got my own morals
You've got your own too
Lovers will just steal your clothes
But I'm not one of them

Forgive me, I just didn't want to
Run away with you
There's romance or so she says
I wanna sleep with you

I just want to sleep with you
I just want to sleep with you

I wanna sleep with you

I didn't want to fade in you
I make my own scenes
These go-go girls are happening
They're just like accidents

He's got sunglasses, electric shoes
This vicious dog and I shake
A uniform in black and blue
He wants to be your guard

I just want to sleep with you
I just want to sleep with you, now


73.Pulse

Lyricist:John Geza Ashton, Richard Butler, Timothy George Butler,
Vincent Paul Davey, Duncan Kilburn, Roger Morris

My baby paints herself red
She paints her hair
Her hair is dead
She's living in the city
With the bodies that scream
We are all Jesus
We all dream

See the dancer in there reeling
Paint the sky upon the ceiling

Four useless Gods upon a day
So blinded by the filth on Sunday
Saying the words for the idiots
You are miracle drivel
Optical sewer

Listens to the flowers fall
Paint the words upon the wall

This is the pulse of fools like you
Who sound so red and turn so blue
The sound of uselessness in slumber
War is over if you want

See the dancer's semen reeling
Paint the sea upon the ceiling

Pulse

My baby paints herself red
She paints her hair
Her hair is dead
She's living in the city
With the bodies that scream
We are all Jesus
We all dream

See the dancer's semen reeling
Paint the sky upon the ceiling

That's pulse


74.It Goes On

Lyricist:John Geza Ashton, Richard Butler, Timothy George Butler,
Vincent Paul Davey, Duncan Kilburn, Roger Morris

You laugh at her in all the cars
She's easily confused
There isn't any wrong or right
Or up and down on you

There isn't any reason
There isn't any sense
Nothing else is happening
This is where you are

It goes on and then it rains, we run away
It goes on again

If you say no just one more time
He's gonna trash your wife
He has to have a lie to live
Or something to believe

He has a God, he calls it you
He has a highway too
Inside his head these wheels go round
He says that he loves you

It goes on and then it goes around again
It goes on again, it goes on

It goes on and then it goes around again
It goes on and then

You know this guy that lives downstairs
Has parties all the time
Where they put on wigs and stuff
So they can be themselves

He calls you this and he calls you that
You loose your memory
All this goes on all the time
So I don't go down there

It goes on and then it rains again
It goes on again
It goes on and then it goes around again
It goes on again


75.Wedding Song

Lyricist:John Geza Ashton, Richard Butler, Timothy George Butler,
Vincent Paul Davey, Duncan Kilburn, Roger Morris

Play another wedding song
A wedding song goes on and on
See the churches falling down
This is only in your mind
We're useless, we're useless

All their dresses stand so white
All the brides are all in white
Play another wedding song
A wedding song goes on and on
We're useless, we're useless

Walking on the paper ruins
Shoes and rice and one two three
Picking through the plastic ruins
Of my useless memory

Make a line of useless women
Make a line of useless men
Love me, love me, love me, love
Again, again, again, again
We're useless, we're useless completely


76.Run and Run

Lyricist:John Geza Ashton, Richard Butler, Timothy George Butler,
Vincent Paul Davey

Go on get Tarzan, go on get Jane
Go on get Superman, get Lois Lane
Hamburger Mary, she's got a gun
Nothing goes on all the time and she thinks it's fun

Come on run run run run away
Come on run away
Come on run run run run away
Come on run away

Doorbell plays Beethoven, I open the door
Yesterday's there and I fall on the floor
Practicing makeup, she laughs at us all
Hey look at you, she's seen it all before

Come on run run run run away
Come on run away
Come on run run run run away
Come on run away

Come on run run run run away
Come on run away
Come on run run run run away
Come on run away

I'm having this party, so come now, please
It's an open house girl but no games with keys
No jokes in blank humor, lines in blank verse
It couldn't get much worse

There's heroes and villains, Ma B and her boys
Doing the twist, dancing with toys
I've been waiting all night for someone like you
But you'll have to do, I've been waiting all night
