99th Dream
05:26
|
|||
Before the setting sun reclines
We hear Westminster chimes
You've gone to stealing cars
From Mars bars
And never fail
Always in your painted nails
One day we'll work the world
Without these stimulants
And as thought bubbles form above you
You know that I have always loved you
I love your ways
Love your little ways
Love your ways
Somewhere up in the sky
The Hindenburg still flies
You're still flying from the night before
Last night the big score
As we lie half in traction
And in stereo start to dream
Architecture, nature, alcohol
Space travel, rock n roll
Shop windows at night
And unendless possibilities
The mannequin's blank face
Reflecting how you feel
So glamorous and surreal
It's a thin veneer
And something's got to give out here
I'm dreaming number 99
Get me to the world on time
I love your ways
I love your little ways
Love your ways

Up From The Sea
03:24
|

It comes up from the sea
In need of empathy
In need of something seen
You saved them all for me
It's true it's made to be
I hope you'll stay a while
Life springs eternally
In ways so clear to see
Becomes the air I breathe
These words that I can't say
The gifts she brings today
Are timeless in their own way
Up from the sea
It's all for me
Up from the sea
She comes up from the sea
Becomes the song I breathe
She sings what I can't say
Life springs eternally
In need of empathy
I hope you'll stay awhile

She Weaves A Tender Trap
03:43
|
|||
You know she weaves a tender trap
Once you're there's no turning back
She don't even feed you
How does it feel to be fine
Then you're hanging off her line
She don't even thrill you
I will always see it through
I may break my back for you
I have found that it's all true
Are you waiting for the world to get it?
If you're waiting for the world forget it
I'm not waiting for the world
You know she weaves a tender trap
Once you're there's no turning back
She don't even feed you
How does it feel to be drained
Now you're hanging off her train
She don't even thrill me
Take your time don't let it fall
I'm the one who always calls
You're the one for whom life means so
Are you waiting for the world to get it?
If you're waiting for the world forget it
I'm not waiting for the world
You know she weaves a tender trap
Once you're there's no turning back
She don't even believe you
How does it feel to be torn
Then you're hanging off her lawn
She won't even bereave you
I'm the one to see it through
Girl the living final proof
I have found that it's all true

These Times
03:22
|

We live through these times
And never change the way we are
We've seen through their lies
So don't ever say it's one too far
We've been to these heights
With open arms and ways to fly
We live through these times
And never change
Your time was not mine
I traced you down to an untwinned town
We'd laugh all the while
Playing games with names of passer-by
We drank all your wine
With the Stooges high and a Bunnymen-style
We live through these times
That forever change
These times
These times
We live through these times
Where are the strong and who I trusted?
The harder they chime
Our wish fulfilled but wanting still
This sounds so sublime
Say what you will I just don't care
These times
These times

Electric 77

Sail away
Over waves of electric oceans
On a clear day you'll see
Forever and back again
Caroline tunes her dial
Through electric wavebands
She will hear the sweetest hum
When the city sleeps
Take me away again
Take me away and and then
Take me away again
Stellar Caprice in flames
Circled clean round your sphere
For a year on Monday
Fly me twice around the moon
In super-stereo
Bakelite, satellite
Frisbee flight on Sunday
You have no idea
Just how far you're left behind
Take me away again
Take me away and and then
Take me away again
Stellar Caprice in flames
Caroline on a line
Through the heart of everything
She is seventeen stories high
And lost in time
Take your time
Unidentified flying hubcaps
If I only had time
I'd never die
Take me away again
Take me away and and then
Take me away again
Stellar Caprice in flames

Wrong Treats
04:23
|
|||
Well I was born on a close street
Opened arms to the wrong treats
Left alone in the sweet store
High times laying low on the floor
Now my tomorrow is gone
The future's for you
Nothing comes free
You said it before
Open the door
And step into the wrong time
Yeah summertime
Back in the summertime
Back in the wrong time
Back in the wrong time again
I was born on a close street
Down the wrong streets
Up the back streets
By the sea
Curfew has come down
All over the town
They're closing in on you
Alcoholing on soul street
Wrong treats
Sit down

You've Sealed My Fate
03:53
|
|||
You've sealed my fate
I can't find a better way
You've sealed my fate
I need water you give wine
I need water for this fire
The tide is low
The stakes much higher
You've sealed my fate
God knows what I'm wishing for
I laid a path right to your door
You've sealed my fate
Thrown beneath a train of thought
I just ain't earned what I've been bought
You have crossed me I am nought
You've sealed my fate
Glitterball my thoughts betray
I can't win I sure can't fail
You've sealed my fate
Follow your destruction trail
To a sharpened bed of nails
I can't find a better way

In My Time
04:32
|

The see-saw sawn through sunlight
Is seamless seems to say so
The cyclones's torn through my time
In my time
The surefire set solution
The season's ending slowly now
This cyclone's torn through my time
In my time

Expressway
03:33
|

Like summer's death throes London's arms around me
The world ends in West End sirens screaming unseen
The river frozen and the lions asleep
Up on the Westway watching people as sheep
It's a long way away from it all
In my corner I sometimes feel nothing at all
It's the best way when the snow starts to fall
Confetti falling down the drains of your dreams
Life in the fast lane never quite what it seems
You're full-on baby with your full-on beams
On an expressway through the heart of it all
In my corner I can walk cannot crawl
It's the best way when the snow starts to fall
Like summer's death throes London armed surrounds me
I'm up EC1 rusted fountains drown me
This frozen river and these lions that breathe
On an expressway
Is this the best way
Like summer's death throes London's arms around me
I'm up the West End shooting what I can see
The river frozen and the lions asleep

Go take a walk in the sun
Go take the weight off everyone
It takes the weight to see
That it's all bad advice to me
And it's all bad advice to me
Go take a stroll amongst the mines
Call yourself back in when it's time
Score your provisions score a smile
Hit the road for a million miles
Pack your vision and set your dials
When the sounds and the times conspire
And take the whole thing higher
Go take a walk in the park
We'll shoot the stars until it's dark
Choking on poppy smoke and sparks
Between Hoppers and Palomar Park
Where the gold dust glows in the dark
When the sounds and the times conspire
And take the whole thing higher
