1.Accent on Youth
Lyricist：Warren Cann, Cross, Billy Currie, Midge Ure
What is this phase that I am going through？
Oh, these precious years
Please take my hand and let me breathe again
Young depressive tears
We stumble blindly chasing
Something new and something sinful
You take my time, you live my life for me
What have I done to rate this penalty？
You suck me dry
My body cries
We stumble blindly chasing
Instant thrills and lasting memories
Accent on youth
Attention oh
Ascends on you
Oh oh
I scream with frustration and lost control
Open for the blows
My hands fall limp and hang down by my side
Take my soul and go
We stumble blindly chasing
Dancing lights and others' wishes
Accent on youth
Attention oh
Ascends on you
Oh oh
Just let me close my eyes and slip away
Dream a dream alone
You give me just enough rope for the task
Let this man alone
We stumble blindly chasing
Silhouettes and vacant faces
So well rehearsed our moves
Once so graceful turn against us
We stalk dark passages
We're looking for that sweet surrender
Accent on youth
Attention oh
Ascends on you
Attention oh
Accent on youth
Ascends on you
2.I Remember (Death in the Afternoon)
Lyricist：Warren Cann, Chris Cross, Billy Currie, Midge Ure
We turned the dial, we heard the news and laughed
We don't know why
We drank the wine and spoke of times we knew
Of days gone by
We flicked through photographs we had
Somehow they made us sad
Remembering the times we used to have
It made us cry
Oh, I remember
Death in the afternoon
A silence fell about the room with harsh
And heavy calm
The lovers and the friends all felt the same
It kept us warm
We raised our glass and drank to times we had
But'd see no more
The pictures of the past would haunt us still
And there remains
Oh, I remember
Death in the afternoon
We turned the dial, we heard the news and laughed
We don't know why
We drank the wine and spoke of times we knew
Of days gone by
We flicked through photographs we had
Somehow they made us sad
Remembering the times we used to have
It made us cry
We turned the dial, we heard the news and laughed
We don't know why
We drank the wine and spoke of times we knew
Of days gone by
We flicked through photographs we had
Somehow they made us sad
Remembering the times we used to have
It made us cry
3.Rage in Eden
Lyricist：Warren Cann, Cross, Billy Currie, Midge Ure
We sit and watch these lifeless forms stark and petrified
The high suspense of an empty stage drawing, in clutching to its
breast
With murmured words we sigh and focus on the main facade
Beyond the hard reluctant windows news from magazines
We wrote their names on books we'd borrowed as if to bring us
closer still
And threw it all away to focus on the main facade
Rage in Eden jigsaw sequence, but no one could see the end
And they were the new gods and they shone on high
Their heavy perfume on the night sucked them down in red tide
All is through the looking glass focus on the main facade
Rage in Eden jigsaw sequence, but no one could see the end
Disciples of the new way, portraits in the new sand
See when they run their longest mile holding caps in wet hands
Eyes upon them try to focus on the main facade
Rage in Eden jigsaw sequence, but no one could see the end
4.Stranger Within
Lyricist：Warren Cann, Cross, Billy Currie, Midge Ure
Light gets through a crack in the door
I tape up the windows once more
Tight like a cold hand of fear
Don't fear the stranger within
Hands that petrify in the air
Eyes catching things never there
Sweet tension caught on my breath
Don't fear the stranger within
Watch every shape that escapes
Scared to make that final mistake
Speak to hear the sound of your voice
Don't fear the stranger within
Sit in the corner with your back to the wall
Pray to your God with your head in your hands
Your mask of fear is shrinking fast
It's closing in more and more
You stand on borrowed time
Your sweating palms and chilling brow
That wide-eyed panic makes you laugh
You cry and laugh
Freeze until the noise decays
A shuffle from behind a door
Your throat is tight, it makes you choke
And smoke and choke
Eyes will grow accustomed to the dark
A stifled scream that won't come out
There's nothing more to fear
From the stranger within
Don't fear the stranger within
I feel the stranger within
I see the stranger within
Don't know the stranger within
I am the stranger within
I am the stranger within
5.The Thin Wall
Lyricist：Chris Allen, Warren Cann, Billy Currie, Midge Ure
The sound is on the visions move
The image dance starts once again
They shuffle with a bovine grace
And glide in syncopation
Just living lines from books we've read
With atmospheres of days gone by
With paper smiles the screenplay calls
A message for the nation
And those who sneer will fade and die
And those who laugh will surely fall
And those who know will always feel
Their backs against the thin wall
The thin wall, thin wall
Grey men who speak of victory
Shed light upon their stolen life
They drive by night and act as if they're
Moved by unheard music
To step in time and play the part
With velvet voices smooth and cold
Their power games a game no more
And long the chance to use it
And those who sneer will fade and die
And those who laugh will surely fall
And those who know will always feel
Their backs against the thin wall
The thin wall, thin wall
And those who dance will spin and turn
And those who wait will wait no more
And those talk will hear the word
And those who sneer will fade and die
And those who laugh will surely fall
And those who know will always feel
Their backs against the thin wall
Thin wall
And those who dance
The thin wall
And those who wait
The thin wall
And those who talk
The thin wall
And those who sneer
The thin wall
And those who laugh
The thin wall
And those who know
The thin wall
And those who dance
The thin wall
And those who wait
6.The Voice
Lyricist：Chris Allen, Warren Cann, Billy Currie, Midge Ure
Native these words seem to me
All speech directed to me
I've heard them once before
I know that feeling
Stranger emotions in mind
Changing the contours I find
I've seen them once before
Someone cries to me
The look and the sound of the voice
They try, they try
The shape and the power of the voice
In strong low tones
Forceful and twisting again
Wasting the perfect remains
I've felt it once before
Slipping over me
The look and the sound of the voice
They try, they try
The shape and the power of the voice
In strong low tones
Sweetly the voices decay
Draw on the lines that they say
I'd lost it once before
Now it cries to me
The look and the sound of the voice
They try, they try
The shape and the power of the voice
In strong low tones
The look and the sound of the voice
They try
The shape and the power of the voice
In strong low tones
The shape and the power of the voice
7.We Stand Alone
Lyricist：Chris Allen, Warren Cann, Billy Currie, Midge Ure
The words played on around our heads
Perhaps we went too far
We'll soldier on until the end, again
This clutching hand around my hand
So pitiful and frail
Makes bleeding hearts begin to beat again
We stand in a different light
That's cast upon, this gigolo and gigolette
We stand with a different frame around us now
But when we talk, we talk in time
We'll shine with profiles so strong and so clear
And when we move, we move in time
Won't fade like pictures that come back again
Your propaganda touched my soul
Those thin and cherished words
A willing victim for the kill again
We stand in a different light
That's cast upon, this gigolo and gigolette
We stand with a different frame around us now
And when we talk, we talk in time
We shine with profiles so strong and so clear
And when we move, we move in time
Won't fade like pictures that come back again
We stand in a different light
That's cast upon, this gigolo and gigolette
We stand with a different frame around us now
But when we talk, we talk in time
We shine with profiles so strong and so clear
And when we move, we move in time
Won't fade like pictures that come back again
8.Your Name (Has Slipped My Mind Again)
Lyricist：Christopher Allen, Warren Cann, Billy Currie, Midge Ure
Something stops me from seeing too clear
A misty haze floats 'round the room
The murmurs make it hard to hear
The voices and the words
The days seem to drag away
My speech is sparse and tends to slur
I wonder what happened to my friend today
Can't hear the words
Your name has slipped my mind again
Your name has slipped my mind again
It's hard to focus in this light
I'm growing warm and feeling dull
This heartbeat pounds with vicious fright
There's something to remember
I clench my fist but feel no sensation
The walls around me spin and sway
A flash back image in my vision
I remember
Your name has slipped my mind again
Your name has slipped my mind again
Your name has slipped my mind again
Your name has slipped my mind again
Your name has slipped my mind again
9.The Ascent
There dosent seem to be any lyrics for The Ascent, unless those
lyrics are
Slowed or sped up greatly. The Ascent seems to be entirely
music. I have the Rage In Eden CD, and I've listened to the
Ascent a dozen times, and still nothing
