1. _ Joking Aside
I hate to complain, you know, but then again
I cannot pretend nothing's wrong
Looking at my present situation, the act cannot last for long
Viewed from outside these pursuits i might try
Seem possessed of a certain allure
Now they're no longer a source of mystery my faith in them's more unsure
Now the time to play is over
Time to dispose of the lies
Time to show what's really
On my mind
Yes i'd like to turn you over
To see what's on your other side
To see if the problem's
In my mind
In my mind
The choice is quite clear, to move on or stay here
Decision is harder to take
Reject what i have for something unstable could easily be a mistake
So i walk round the place with a smile on my face
Pretending the best that i can
Hoping to lose the inclination to desire what i can't understand
And the time to play is over
Time to dispose of the lies
Time to show what's really
On my mind
Yes i'd like to turn you over
To see what's on your other side
To see if the problem's
In my mind
In my mind
Lalalalala lalalalala...
Now the time to play is over
Time to dispose of the lies
Time to show what's really
On my mind
Yes i'd like to turn you over
To see what's on your other side
Like to turn it over
In my mind
In my mind
In my mind
In my mind
In my mind.

2. _ Simultaneous
Oh, there's a place for you
You'd better stay in it
A place for everything
And of course all you can do is talk about it
Oh, you've got it all
Yes you've got it all
Yes you've got it all
You've got it all
It let you down
Now it doesn't seem so simple
That dirt gets everywhere
And your mouth won't get you out of it
Standing naked, standing bare
Oh you knew it all
Yes you knew it all
Yes you knew it all
You knew it all
It let you down
Now see it all burning, your contract in ashes,
Your clean-living lovers. your reasonable wishes,
Your time-tabled kisses, your well-rehearsed phrases,
Your separate bedrooms, your forbidden places,
You're out on the moorland, you're naked and bleeding with no kind of shelter
And no place to hide in, you're screaming for mercy, abandonned,
Forsaken, you're screaming for mercy and then you awaken
La la lala lala lala la...
Oh.

3. _ Dogs Are Everywhere
Dogs are everywhere
Almost everywhere
That i go
They have too much and then
They have too much again
And then more
They leave their
Scent behind them
Everywhere they go
Oh dogs are everywhere
That i go
Oh dogs are everywhere
Almost everywhere
That i go
They have too much and then
They have too much again
And then more
They leave their scent behind them
Everywhere they go
Oh dogs are everywhere
Yes dogs are everywhere
Yes dogs are everywhere
That i go
They always wag their tails
At all the pretty girls
And older women
They find their own way in
And they rip up everything
That i believe in
Sometimes
I have to wonder
About the dog in me
Oh dogs are everywhere
Yes dogs are everywhere
Yes dogs are everywhere
That i go
They get down on all fours
When you walk through the door
They whine and beg around your feet
Like a dog for something sweet
They sink their teeth in you
They're tearing you in two
Remains are buried out of doors
Oh i want some more
I want some more
Sometimes
I have to wonder
About the dog in me
Oh dogs are everywhere
Yes dogs are everywhere
Oh dogs are everywhere
That i go
Sometimes
I have to wonder
About the dog in me
Oh dogs are everywhere
Yes dogs are everywhere
Yes dogs are everywhere
That i go
That i go
That i go
That i go
Everywhere
Everywhere
Everywhere
Everywhere
Dogs are everywhere.

4. _ Aborigine
Starts so slowly, just a place to stay
Somewhere warm where they can spend their days
Air is stagnant and he feels unclean
Hair hangs greasy and he smells obscene
Something's happened and it's not so good
Broken bottles in the face of love
Mottled flesh under the harsh strip-light
Nylon sheets to keep them warm at night
Once it's started it can never stop
Fills his head with a dark damp fog
In the distance is a constant cry
Growing louder as the years go by
Days get longer and he starts to drink
Spews his stomach in the kitchen sink
Tells his children they should have respect
Tells his wife that she's a nervous wreck
He hates his wife and he hates them all
He hates his wife and he hates them all
Can't be bothered when it's all the same
Leave it long enough, it goes away
In the meantime stomach turns to fat
She tries to tell him but he can't have that
She's only jealous and she's telling lies
Standing naked in his flesh disguise
It took him months to get her into bed
Now he's got her he just wants her dead
She wants excitement and she needs romance
All she gets are dirty underpants
Stupid animal that can't know why
Something's wrong so someone has to die
The wind is blowing and the rain falls down
Sends his family on a trip down town
Sees them die in a burning wreck
Sees them burn, smokes a cigarette
He hates his wife and he hates them all
He hates his wife and he hates them all
He knows he's finished but he can't stop now
And he wants to end it but he can't see how
And it's all in pieces, thrown it all away
Oh, but he's not ugly, he just looks that way
And he wants some quiet and he needs it now
But the scream he's started's getting far too loud
And he still pretends he does it just for now
His day will come he'll lose it all somehow
Killing time until his ship arrives
Been dead ten years but he's still alive
And the time is wasted and the ship has sunk
But he hasn't noticed and he comes home drunk
And he's just dead weight, he'll never leave the ground
He tries to stand but he keeps falling down
And it's hard to know he doesn't count for much
He's not a has-been, just a never-was
Oh he hates his wife and he hates them all
He hates his wife and he hates them all
Hates his wife
Hates them all.

5. _ My Lighthouse
Come up to my lighthouse for i have something i wish to say
It can wait for a moment; well in fact
It can wait all day
I just wanted to bring you up here so you could have the chance to see
The beauty of this situation that
You could share with me
It may seem strange
To talk of love and then lighthouses
It's not strange
To me
Hey
All alone
You and i in our high tower
That's the way
To be
Some laugh at my lighthouse they say it's just an ivory tower
But i don't mind because i know
Their envy grows by the hour
See i have a purpose up here to guide the ships upon their way
All this is mine; it could be yours too
What do you say?
It may seem strange
To talk of love and then lighthouses
It's not strange
To me
Hey
All alone
You and i in our high tower
That's the way
To be
Hehehey hey.

6. _ Love Love
I thought so long and suddenly i realised
I love love
I thought so long and suddenly i realised
I love love
Am i loving the girl
Or the feeling i feel?
Is it just the idea that i like
Or is it for real?
I recall a special friend, i invited her home for tea
And while my mother cooked a meal she was under the table with me
I thought so long and suddenly i realised
I love love
I thought so long and suddenly i realised
I love love
These ideas that i have
Remain fixed in my head
Only the characters change
Someone else there instead
One day we went down to the park to feed the ducks some bread
Foul fowls wouldn't touch a scrap so we jumped in the duckpond instead
I thought so long and suddenly i realised
I love love
I thought so long and suddenly i realised
I love love
Lalalalala...

7. _ Blue Glow
So late looking up at your window
As it bathes me in your
Blue midnight glow
I wonder why you're not sleeping
And i wonder
If you could know
Tonight
Make it tonight
Tonight
Make it tonight
Crouched down by a bush at the roadside
I watch as
You pass me by
Lost down by the side of the river
And no light comes
From the empty sky
Tonight
Make it tonight
Tonight
Make it tonight
I left home at midnight
Made for the horizon
No sense of direction
I walked on for miles,
Oh i hope that i find you
I hide from the headlamps
No lights in the window
The whole town is sleeping and somewhere you lie,
Oh, i wish i could find you
Oh i'm lost by the river
My clothes are in tatters
My face scarred by branches
I shiver with cold,
No, i don't think i'll find you
Tonight
Make it tonight
Tonight
Make it tonight
Won't you make it tonight?
Oh say you'll meet me tonight
Won't you make it tonight?
Say you'll meet me tonight.

8. _ In Many Ways
Hey
You're treading on my life
You're leaving marks, but that's alright
In a year or so, i'll look back and i'll smile
These things last only for a while
In many ways
This is a waste of time
What will become of it all?
I make you cry
Know you in crowded streets
Not what i wanted at all
Then
What else could i do
Instead of thinking about you?
Pleasure now will justify our love
See, i even call it "love"
In many ways
There's nothing i'd rather do
One kiss makes sense of it all
And what's to come?
Let's just not think about it, it might never happen at all.

9. _ Blue Girls
The blue girls that bake in the sun
Skin falls in flakes from each one
Like leaves from autumn trees
They float upon the breeze
These girls you have loved
Are slowly decaying
Ah
Drying out in the sun
Before your eyes
Wild stares in your face
They seem to accuse you
Oh
What have you done
To earn this prize?
The flesh underneath candy-pink
Quite a strange affair you might think
They gasp and moan for air
Beached fish on your lawn-chair
These girls you have loved
Are slowly decaying
Ah
Drying out in the sun
Before your eyes
Wild stares in your face
They seem to accuse you
Oh
What have you done
To earn this prize?
Fragments left at the end of the day
A pile of blue that is soon swept away
Goodbye, blue girls, goodbye
Would it be too much to cry?
These girls you have loved
Have slowly decayed
Ah
They dried out in the sun
Before your eyes
Wild stares in your face
They seem to accuse you
Oh
What did you do
To earn this prize?

10. _ The Will To Power
Walking from the scene of some humiliation feeling like a dog.
Walking from the scene of some romantic triumph feeling like god.
Walk towards the small town lights, felt brighter than the lot of them,
Can have anything, can never fail.
The will to power, the force of destiny and efficiency.
Generations glimpse the high pitch, play it for real,
Four billion spectators look on;
Judging, analysing, losing; sinking, swimming, striving, longing, failing.
Weak flesh projected through europe on speed of all the needs;
Suck and sate, forces of fate.
A polemic, a sharp cutter, a fashion, a spirit, a simplicity.
The only choice, the only voice, in the darkness.
The only choice, the only voice.
1933, where are you now?
Where are the broken bottles?
Where's the toffs slumming it?
Where's the fanaticism?
Where's truth and beauty?
Walk towards the small town lights, felt brighter than the lot of them,
Can have anything, can never fail.
The will to power, the force of destiny and efficiency.
Generations glimpse the high pitch, play it for real,
Four billion spectators look on;
Judging, analysing, losing; sinking, swimming, striving, longing, failing.
Weak flesh projected through europe on speed of all the needs;
Suck and sate, forces of fate.
A polemic, a sharp cutter, a fashion, a spirit, a simplicity.
The only choice, the only voice, in the darkness.
The only choice, the only voice.
1933, where are you now?
Where are the broken bottles?
Where's the fanaticism?
Where's truth and beauty?
Where's truth and beauty?

11. _ Goodnight
Now it's coming to the end of the evening
The time when the ceiling sways and objects jerk out of place
Your eyelids heavy, you make your way down the yellow streets
Past rows and rows of houses
Curtains drawn tight against the cold night air
To a flight of stairs
Which lead to a room
Where a bed is waiting for you to lie down
Perhaps alone, perhaps not
And go to sleep again
They wait alone
In unused rooms
They sit and they remember
Oh, please remember
So you lie on your back in the dark
And listen to the blood rushing in your ears
And the soft "tick, tick, tick" of your watch against the mattress springs
Patterns merge behind your eyes
Purple and green, glowing gently
And all is soft with furry darkness
You yawn once
Turn on your side
And fall to sleep again
They wait alone
They bathed your eyes
When nights were cold
Remember
Oh, please remember
There's something you've forgotten
When you awoke later that night the bedroom was cold and you were alone
Alone and afraid of the dark
Watching
Waiting
Watching
Waiting
As you lie on your back
Naked beneath the cold sheets
Not dead, just sleeping
Sleeping
And you will never wake again.

12. _ Master Of Universe
I am the master of this universe
And i've got so big it hurts
Raise your eyes and graze your knees
Oh for your master is displeased
Because you dared to doubt his word
His polished surface dulls and cracks
Your bitter laughter breaks his back
I am the master of this universe
I taught you everything you know
Now you must bear your master's curse
Oh for i will not let you go
Now you must walk this town `til dawn
In every public open place
Your master's look upon your face
Oh now look what you have done
You've spoilt it all for everyone
The master masturbates alone
In a corner of your home
You feed him scraps when in the mood
You beat him hard and keep him nude
You cut your master down to size
Now he cries and he cries now
Lalalalala lalala...
And now he begs both night and day
He lets you take him on your knee
He keeps on losing consciousness
He dearly loves his new mistress
Now he repeats it every night
Every night on point of death
"you are the master of this universe"
Now he cries and he cries now
"you are the master of the universe
You are the master of the universe
You are the master of the universe
You are the master of the universe!"

13. _ Wishful Thinking
When i was with this girl last night
She held me tight; it turned me on
The moon was dark and those clothes were tight
Her perfume strong; it turned me on
Fleeting moments touched in the night
Then so strong but banished by the light
Her presence gone, memories remain
Of how she kissed and turned me on
Now there's this love inside of me
I've got this love
Inside of me
And i still have dull aching pain
Desire to reach and touch you once again
Distractions cannot sate the need
It grows once more, it grows once more
I've got this love inside of me
I've got this love inside of me
I've got this love inside of me
I've got this love inside of me
I have this pain inside of me
Why can't you see?
Why can't you see?
I'm stranded here with no way home
Please rescue me, oh won't you rescue me?
I've got this love inside of me
I've got this love inside of me
I've got this love inside of me
I've got this love inside of me.

14. _ 97 Lovers
Ninety-seven lovers
Twisted out of shape
And just one kiss
Could set them straight
Ninety-seven lovers
Twisted out of shape
And just one kiss
Could set them straight
I know a woman
With a picture of roger moore
In a short towel and dressing-gown
Pinned to her bedroom wall
She married a man
Who works on a building site
Now they make love beneath roger
Every friday night
Ninety-seven lovers
Twisted out of shape
And just one kiss
Could set them straight
Ninety-seven lovers
Rose to meet the sun
And when the day was over
There were only ninety-one
Another i know
Well, she laughs too loud with her friends
Playing it safe on the surface
To give her heart time to mend
And then one day without warning
He walks unannounced through the door
And he picks her heart up off the table
And he watches it smash on the floor
Ninety-seven lovers
Twisted out of shape
And just one kiss
Could set them straight
Ninety-seven lovers
Rose to meet the sun
And when the day was over
There were only ninety-one.

15. _ Looking For Life
Sure you had something to hide
I took your bag and looked inside
I was looking for life
Nothing inside but memories
The same as those i keep with me
I'm still looking for life
Yes i'm looking for life
Yes i'm looking for life
There's more to love than holding hands
But i think that we both understand
It's part of looking for life
I thought so long i couldn't think
But thought was what was hindering me
And now i'm looking for life
Yes i'm looking for life
Yes i'm looking for life
Yes i'm looking for life
Yes i'm looking for life
Yes i'm looking for life
Yes i'm looking for life
I'm looking for life
I'm looking for life.

16. _ Boats And Trains
Would you like to hear
About the things i fear?
About my life, and loves too?
Well why should i tell you?
If i told you a secret
You'd be sure to leak it
You couldn't keep it inside
No matter how hard you tried
On boats and trains and
And boats and trains and
Funny things and
Funny things and
La la la...

17. _ The Mark Of The Devil
The mark of the devil is upon you
Your look is no happier than mine
Damnation is waiting in the mirror
But you shouldn't mind
Their legs start a feeling in your stomach
Their eyes knock you backwards with a glance
Your pride sinks unnoticed in the river
Given half a chance
And your past is just a bedroom full of implements of cruelty
And a list will bind your eyes as you grow old
But you want to join the laughter sharing simple shreds of feeling
But you fidget and your heart is growing cold
Smiles left unfollowed start to haunt you
Chances that perished long ago
The devil is waiting in the bathroom
With your worthless soul
The years pull their weight down on your cheekbones
The nights out are hanging from your waist
The years float like dust held in the sunlight
With an aftertaste
And your past is just a bedroom full of implements of cruelty
And a list will bind your eyes as you grow old
But you want to join the laughter sharing simple shreds of feeling
But you fidget and your heart is growing cold
La la lala lala la la...
And your past is just a bedroom full of implements of cruelty
And a list will bind your eyes as you grow old
And you want to join the laughter sharing simple shreds of feeling
But you fidget and your heart is growing cold
And your past is just a bedroom full of implements of cruelty
And a list will bind your eyes as you grow old
And you want to join the laughter sharing simple shreds of feeling
But you fidget and your heart is growing cold
La la lala...
Oh...

18. _ They Suffocate At Night
His body loved her
His mind was set on other things
Keep your face out of sight
And your thoughts to yourself
And this went on for several nights
Festering in silence, growing in the dark
And this they saw as love
Love
So sad to see
They suffocate at night
Oh this they saw as love
Love
So sad to see
To see it slowly die
She met his wishes
He found that he had changed his mind
Now the fit is too tight
And the bedroom too warm
The days are filled with things to do
Night-time lies so hollow and memories betray
Oh memories of love
Love
So sad to see
They suffocate at night
Those memories of love
Love
So sad to see
To see it slowly die
Two years have passed
Two years of emptiness inside
And the grey skies above
Just show how far i went wrong
I wonder if she's living there
The way that i recall
The way i'll always think of you
And when i think of you
I think of love
Love
So sad to see
They suffocate at night
You know i think of love
Love
So sad to see
To see it slowly die
I wrote you a letter
I threw it away
I wrote you a letter
I threw it away
I need her
I know i don't need her
I need her
Oh
Oh-oh

19. _ Little Girl (with Blue Eyes)
You're just a
Little girl (with blue eyes)
Everybody looks at you
(well, it's your day)
And you're
Stepping from the black car
But you'll be getting back in soon
(and on your way)
Little girl (with blue eyes)
There's a hole in your heart
And one between your legs
You've never had to wonder
Which one he's going to fill
In spite of what he said
You'll never get away
Hey
You'll give it up one day
Come what may
Dad's not got a shot-gun
But his look's enough to murder you
(see what you've done)
And forget about the paintings
Cos you'd better get the washing done
(oh something's wrong)
Little girl (with blue eyes)
There's a hole in your heart
And one between your legs
You've never had to wonder
Which one he's going to fill
In spite of what he said
You'll never get away
Hey
You'll give it up one day
Come what may
Face down on the pavement
Chalk lines round your little hands
(hit and run)
And now a
Mother sits in silence
In a darkness she can't understand
(where you've gone)
Oh
Little girl (with blue eyes)
There's a hole in your heart
And one between your legs
You've never had to wonder
Which one he's going to fill
In spite of what he said
You'll never get away
Hey
You'll give it up one day
Come what may.
