1. _ D.i.y.
Don't tell me what i will do, 'cos i won't
Don't tell me to believe in you, 'cos i don't
Be on your guard, better hostile and ha
--don't risk affection
Like flesh to the bone in the no-go zone
You're still waiting for teh resurrection
Come up to me with your "what did you say?"
And i'll tell you straight in the eye
D.i.y. d.i.y. d.i.y. d.i.y. d.i.y. d.i.y. d.i.y. d.i.y.
Do it yourself
Everyone want to be what he not, what he not
Nobody happy with what he got, what he got
You function like a dummy with a new ventriloquist
Do you say nothing yourself?
Hanging like a thriller on the final twist
--you know you're getting stuck on the shelf
Come up to me with your "what did you say?"
And i'll tell you straight in the eye
D.i.y. d.i.y. d.i.y. d.i.y.
When things get so big, i don't trust them at all
You want some control -- you've got to keep it small
D.i.y. d.i.y. d.i.y. d.i.y.
Do it yourself

2. _ Family Snapshot
The streets are lined with camera crews
Everywhere he goes is news
Today is different
Today is not the same
Today i make the action
Take snapshot into the light, snapshot into the light
I'm shooting into the light
Four miles down the cavalcade moves on
Driving into the sun
If i worked it out right
They won't see me or the gun
Two miles to go, they're clearing the road
The cheering has really begun
I've got my radio
I can hear what's going on
I've been waiting for this
I have been waiting for this
All you people in tv land
I will wake up your empty shells
Peak-time viewing blown in a flash
As i burn into your memory cells
'cos i'm alive
They're coming 'round the corner with the bikers at the front
I'm wiping the sweat from my eyes
-it's a matter of time
-it's a matter of will
And the governor's car is not far behind
He's not the one i've got in mind
'cos there he is-the man of the hour, standing in the limousine
"i don't really hate you
-i don't care what you do
We were made for each other
-me and you
I want to be somebody
-you were like that too
If you don't get given you learn to take
And i will take you."
Holding my breath
Release the catch
And i let the bullet fly
All turned quiet-i have been here before
Lonely boy hiding behind the front door
Friends have all gone home
There's my toy gun on the floor
Come back mum and dad
You're growing apart
You know that i'm growing up sad
I need some attention
I shoot into the light

3. _ No Self Control
Got to get some food
I'm so hungry all the time
I don't know how to stop
I don't know how to stop
Got to get some sleep
I'm so nervous in the night
I don't know how to stop
No, i don't know how to stop
I don't know how to stop
I don't know how to stop
Got to pick up the phone
I will call any number
I will talk to anyone
I know i'm gone too far
Much too far i gone this time
And i don't want to think what i've done
I don't know how to stop
No, i don't know how to stop
There are always hidden silences
Waiting behind the chair
They come out when the coast is clear
They eat anything that moves
I go shaky at the knees
Lights go out, stars come down
Like a swarm of bees
No self-control
No self-control
No self-control
No self-control
No self-control
No self-control
No self-control
You know i hate to hurt you
I hate to see your pain
But i don't know how to stop
No, i don't know how to stop
Street after street
Night after night
I walk on through the rain
I walk on through the rain
I don't know how to stop
I don't know how to stop
No, i don't know how to stop
I don't know how to stop
I don't know how to stop
I don't know how to stop

4. _ Shock The Monkey
Shock the monkey to life
Shock the monkey to life
Cover me when i run
Cover me through the fire
Something knocked me out' the trees
Now i'm on my knees
Cover me, darling please
Monkey, monkey, monkey
Don't you know when you're going to shock the monkey
Fox the fox
Rat the rat
You can ape the ape
I know about that
There is one thing you must be sure of
I can't take any more
Darling, don't you monkey with the monkey
Monkey, monkey, monkey
Don't you know you're going to shock the monkey
Wheels keep turning
Something's burning
Don't like it but i guess i'm learning
Shock! - watch the monkey get hurt, monkey
Cover me, when i sleep
Cover me, when i breathe
You throw your pearls before the swine
Make the monkey blind
Cover me, darling please
Monkey, monkey, monkey
Don't you know you're going to shock the monkey
Too much at stake
Ground beneath me shake
And the news is breaking
Shock! - watch the monkey get hurt, monkey
Shock the monkey
Shock the monkey
Shock the monkey to life

5. _ Humdrum
I saw the man at j.f.k.
He took your ticket yesterday
In the humdrum
I ride tandem with a random
Things don't run the way i planned them
In the humdrum
Hey valentina, do you want me to beg?
You got me cooking i'm a hard boiled egg
In the humdrum
Empty my mind -- i find it hard to cope
Listen to my heart -- don't need no stethoscope
Seem' to me that television
She come to cut me a deep incision
In the humdrum
Empty my mind -- i find it hard to cope
Listen to my heart -- don't need no stethoscope
Out of woman come the man
Spend the rest of his life gettin back where he can
As a bow, so a dove
As below, so above
From the black hole
Come the tadpole
With the dark soul
In coal she burn, she burn
As i drove into the sun
Didn't dare look where i had begun
Lost among echoes of things not there
Watching the sound forming shapes in the air
From the white star
Came the bright scar
Our amoeba
My little liebe schon

6. _ Biko
september '77
Port elizabeth weather fine
It was business as usual
In police room 619
Oh biko, biko, because biko
Oh biko, biko, because biko
Yihla moja, yihla moja
-the man is dead
When i try and sleep at night
I can only dream in red
The outside world is black and white
With only one colour dead
Oh biko, biko, because biko
Oh biko, biko, because biko
Yihla moja, yihla moja
-the man is dead
You can blow out a candle
But you can't blow out a fire
Once the flames begin to catch
The wind will blow it higher
Oh biko, biko, because biko
Yihla moja, yihla moja
-the man is dead
And the eyes of the world are
Watching now
Watching now

7. _ I Go Swimming
Ooh, i go swimming, swimming in the water
Swimming in the river, swimming in the sea
I go swimming
I go swimming, swimming in the water
Swimming in the pool, swimming is cool
I go swimming
The sun is burning, i am yearning
For the waterflow (waterflow)
Next to my skin i, like to begin a
Waterflow (waterflow)
Letting off steam i float in a dream,
I can't let go (can't let go)
Follow my wishes, follow the fishes
Down below (down below)
I go swimming
I need water, water to drink
Water on my brain, water sustain,
Water over me
I want water, water i need
Water to think, water to drink
Water over me
The sun is burning, i am yearning
For the waterflow (waterflow)
Next to my skin i, like to begin a
Waterflow (waterflow)
Letting off steam i float in a dream,
I can't let go (can't let go)
Follow my wishes, follow the fishes
Down below (down below)
I go swimming
I go swimming, i go swimming
Swimming in water, swimming in water, swimming in water
Water all over me
Swimming in water, swimming in water, swimming in water
I go swimming, i go swimming
I go swimming, i go swimming
Swimming, i go swimming
Oh i go swimming, i go swimming
Water all over me
Swimming in water, swimming in water, swimming in water
Water all over me
Swimming in water, swimming in water, swimming in water
Water all over me
Swimming in water, swimming in water, swimming in water
Water all over me

8. _ Intruder
I know something about opening windows and doors
I know how to move quietly to creep across creaky wooden floors
I know where to find precious things in all your cupboards and drawers
Slipping the clippers
Slipping the clippers through the telephone wires
The sense of isolation inspires
Inspires me
I like to feel the suspense when i'm certain you know i am there
I like you lying awake, your baited breath charging the air
I like the touch and the smell of all the pretty dresses you wear
Intruders happy in the dark
Intruder come
Intruder come and leave his mark, leave his mark

9. _ Solsbury Hill
solsbury hill
Climbing up on solsbury hill
I could see the city light
Wind was blowing, time stood still
Eagle flew out of the night
He was something to observe
Came in close, i heard a voice
Standing stretching every nerve
I had to listen had no choice
I did not believe the information
Just had to trust imagination
My heart was going boom boom, boom
"son," he said, "grab your things, i've come to take you home."
To keeping silence i resigned
My friends would think i was a nut
Turning water into wine
Open doors would soon be shut
So i went from day to day
Tho' my life was in a rut
'till i thought of what i'd say
Which connection i should cut
I was feeling part of the scenery
I walked right out of the machinery
My heart was going boom boom boom
"hey," he said, "grab your things, i've come to take you home."
Yeah back home
When illusion spin her net
I'm never where i want to be
And liberty she pirouette
When i think that i am free
Watched by empty silhouettes
Who close their eyes, but still can see
No one taught them etiquette
I will show another me
Today i don't need a replacement
I'll tell them what the smile on my face meant
My heart was going boom boom boom
"hey," i said, "you can keep my things, they've come to take me home."

10. _ Not One Of Us
It's only water
In a stranger's tear
Looks are deceptive
But distinctions are clear
A foreign body
And a foreign mind
Never welcome
In the land of the blind
You may look like we do
Talk like we do
But you know how it is
You're not one of us
Not one of us
No you're not one of us
Not one of us
Not one of us
No you're not one of us
There's safety in numbers
When you learn to divide
How can we be in
If there is no outside
All shades of opinion
Feed an open mind
But your values are twisted
Let us help you unwind
You may look like we do
Talk like we do
-but you know how it is
You're not one of us
Not one of us
No you're not one of us
You're not one of us
Not one of us
No you're not one of us
Not one of us
You're not one of us
Not one of us
You're not one of us
Not one of us
You're not one of us

11. _ San Jacinto
Thick cloud - steam rising - hissing stone on sweat lodge fire
Around me - buffalo robe - sage in bundle - run on skin
Outside - cold air - stand, wait for rising sun
Red paint - eagle feathers - coyote calling - it has begun
Something moving in - i taste it in my mouth and in my heart
It feels like dying - slow - letting go of life
Medicine man lead me up though town - indian ground -
So far down
Cut up land - each house - a pool - kids wearing water
Wings - drink in cool
Follow dry river bed - watch scout and guides make
Pow-wow signs
Past geronimo's disco - sit 'n' bull steakhouse - white
Men dream
A rattle in the old man's sack - look at mountain top -
Keep climbing up
Way above us the desert snow - white wind blow
I hold the line - the line of strength that pulls me through
The fear
San jacinto - i hold the line
San jacinto - the poison bite and darkness take my sight -
I hold the line
And the tears roll down my swollen cheek - think i'm losing
It - getting weaker
I hold the line - i hold the line
San jacinto - yellow eagle flies down from the sun -
From the sun
We will walk - on the land
We will breathe - of the air
We will drink - from the stream
We will live - hold the line

12. _ I Have The Touch
The time i like is the rush hour, cos i like the rush
The pushing of the people - i like it all so much
Such a mass of motion - do not know where it goes
I move with the movement and ... i have the touch
I'm waiting for ignition, i'm looking for a spark
Any chance collision and i light up in the dark
There you stand before me, all that fur and all that hair
Oh, do i dare ... i have the touch
Wanting contact
I'm wanting contact
I'm wanting contact with you
Shake those hands, shake those hands
Give me the thing i understand
Shake those hands, shake those hands
Shake those hands, shake those hands
Any social occasion, it's hello, how do you do
All those introductions, i never miss my cue
So before a question, so before a doubt
My hand moves out and ... i have the touch
Wanting contact
I'm wanting contact
I'm wanting contact with you
Shake those hands, shake those hands
Give me the thing i understand
Shake those hands, shake those hands
Pull my chin, stroke my hair, scratch my nose, hug my knees
Try drink, food, cigarette, tension will not ease
I tap my fingers, fold my arms, breathe in deep, cross my legs
Shrug my shoulders, stretch my back - but nothing seems
To please
I need contact
I need contact
Nothing seems to please
I need contact

13. _ On The Air
Built in the belly of junk by the river my cabin stands
Made from the trash i dug out 'the heap, with my own fair hands
Every night, i'm back at the shack and i'm sure no one is there
I'm putting the aerial up, so i can go out on the air
On the air
On the air
On the air
Every morning i'm out at dawn with the dwarfs and the tramp
For a silent communion lit from above by the sodium lamps
Everyone i meet on the street acts as if i wasn't there
But they're all going to know who i am 'cos i can go out on the air
On the air
On the air
On the air
Leaving the car down leafy lane
Turning out tarzan for my jungle jane
Anyone at all
From captain zero and his brand of superhero
Standing by a call
Oh it's not easy
No it's not easy
Making real friends
Don't give me your steak-reared milkboys, milkboys
Half alive on empty white noise, white noise
I got power, i'm proud to be loud; my signal goes out clear
I want everybody to know that mozo is here
On the air
On the air
On the air

14. _ The Rhythm Of The Heat
Looking out the window
I see the red dust clear
High up on the red rock
Stands the shadow with the spear
The land here is strong
Strong beneath my feet
It feeds on the blood
It feeds on the heat
The rhythm is below me
The rhythm of the heat
The rhythm is around me
The rhythm has control
The rhythm is inside me
The rhythm has my soul
The rhythm of the heat
The rhythm of the heat
The rhythm of the heat
The rhythm of the heat
Drawn across the plainland
To the place that is higher
Drawn into the circle
That dances round the fire
We spit into out hands
And breathe across the palms
Raising them up high
Help open to the sun
Self-conscious, uncertain
I'm showered with the dust
The spirit enter into me
And i submit to trust
Smash the radio
No outside voices here
Smash the watch
Cannot tear the day to shreds
Smash the camera
Cannot steal away the spirits
The rhythm is around me
The rhythm has control
The rhythm is inside me
The rhythm has my soul

15. _ I Don't Remember
I got no means to show identification
I got no papers show you what i am
You'll have to take me just the way that you find me
What's gone is gone and i do not give a damn
Empty stomach, empty head
I got empty heart and empty bed
I don't remember
I don't remember
I don't remember, i don't recall
I got no memory of anything at all
I don't remember, i don't recall
I got no memory of anything
-anything at all
Strange is your language and i have no decoder
Why don't you make your intentions clear
With eyes to the sun and your mouth to the soda
Saying, "tell me the truth, you got nothing to fear
Stop staring at me like a bird of prey
I'm all mixed up, i got nothing to say
I don't remember
I don't remember
I don't remember, i don't recall
I got no memory of anything at all
I don't remember, i don't recall
I got no memory of anything
Anything at all
I don't remember, i don't recall
I got no memory of anything at all
I don't remember, i don't recall
I got no memory of anything
Absolutely anything at all
I don't remember

16. _ The Family And The Fishing Net
Suffocated by mirrors, stained by dreams
Her honey belly pulls the seams
Curves are still upon the hinge
Pale zeros tinge the tiger skin
Moist as grass, ripe and heavy as the night
The sponge is full, well out of sight
All around the conversations
Icing on the warm flesh cake
Light creeps through her secret tunnels
Sucked into the open spaces
Burning out in sudden flashes
Draining blood from well-fed faces
Desires form in subtle whispers
Flex the muscles in denial
Up and down its pristine cage
So the music, so the trial
Vows of sacrifice, headless chickens
Dance in circles, they the blessed
Man and wife, undressed by all
Their grafted trunks in heat possessed
Even as the soft skins tingle
They mingle with the homeless mother
Who loves the day but lives another
That once was hers
The worried father, long lost lover
Brushes ashes with his broom
Rehearses jokes to fly and hover
Bursting over the bride and groom
And the talk goes on
Memories crash on tireless waves
The lifeguards whom the winter saves
Silence falls the guillotine
All the doors are shut
Nervous hands grip tight the knife
In the darkness, till the cake is cut
Passed around, in little pieces
The body and the flesh
The family and the fishing-net
And another in the mesh
The body and the flesh
