Dig The New Breed

When i'm in the crowd, i don't see anything
My mind goes a blank, in the humid sunshine
When i'm in the crowd i don't see anything
I fall into a trance, at the supermarket
The noise flows me along, as i catch falling cans
Of baked beans on toast, technology is the most.

And everyone seems just like me,
They struggle hard to set themselves free
And their waiting for the change

When i'm in the crowd, i can't remember my name
And my only link is a pint of wall's ice cream
When i'm in the crowd - i don't see anything

Sometimes i think that it's a plot,
An equilibrium melting pot
The government sponsors underhand
When i'm in the crowd
When i'm in the crowd
When i'm in the crowd

And everyone seems that they're acting a dream
'cause they're just not thinking about each other
And they're taking orders, which are media spawned
And they should know better, now you have been warned

And don't forget you saw it here first
When i'm in the crowd
When i'm in the crowd
When i'm in the crowd

And life just simply moves along
In simple houses, simple jobs
And no ones wanting for the change
When i'm in the crowd
When i'm in the crowd
When i'm in the crowd

In the city there's a thousand things i want to say to you
But whenever i approach you, you make me look a fool
I wanna say, i wanna tell you
About the young ideas
But you turn them into fears
In the city there's a thousand faces all shining bright
And those golden faces are under 25
They wanna say, they gonna tell ya
About the young idea
You better listen now you've said your bit-a

And i know what you're thinking
You still think i am crap
But you'd better listen man
Because the kids know where it's at

In the city there's a thousand men in uniforms
And i've heard they now have the right to kill a man
We wanna say, we gonna tell ya
About the young idea
And if it don't work, at least we said we've tried

In the city, in the city
In the city there's a thousand things i want to say to you

Why are you frightened - can't you see that it's you
That ain't no ghost - it's a reflection of you
Why do you turn away - an' keep it out of sight
Oh - don't live up to your given roles
There's more inside you that you won't show

But you keep it hidden just like everyone
You're scared to show you care - it'll make you vulnerable
So you wear that ghost around you for disguise

But there's no need just 'cos it's all we've known
There's more inside you that you haven't shown

So keep on moving, moving, moving your feet
Keep on shuf-shuf-shuffling to this ghost dance beat
Just keep on walking down never ending streets

One day you'll walk right out of this life
And then you'll wonder why you didn't try

To spread some loving all around
Old fashioned causes like that still stand
Gotta rid this prejudice that ties you down

How do you feel at the end of the day
Just like you've waked over your own grave

So why are you frightened - can't you see that it's you
At the moment there's nothing - so there's nothing to lose
Lift up your lonely heart and walk right on through

Seen you before, i know your sort,
You think the world awaits your every breath
You'll be my friend, or so you say
You'll help me out when the time comes

And all the time we're getting rich,
You hang around to help me out

But when we're skint, oh god forbid!
You drop us like hot bricks

Artistic freedom. do what you want.
But just make sure that the money ain't gone

I'll tell you what, i got you sussed
You'll waste my time, when my time comes.

I sat alone with the dreams of children
Weeping willows and tall dark building,
I've caught a fashion from the dreams of children
But woke up sweating from this modern nightmare, and
I was alone, no one was there

I caught a glimpse from the dreams of children
I got a feeling of optimism
But woke up to a grey and lonely picture
The streets below left me feeling dirty, and

I was alone, no one was there
I was alone, no one was there

Something's gonna crack on your dreams tonight...
You will crack on your dreams tonight

I fell in love with the dreams of children
I saw a vision of all the happy days
I've caught a fashion from the dreams of children
But woke up sweating from this modern nightmare, and

I was alone, no one was there
I was alone, no one was there

Something's gonna crack on your dreams tonight...
You will crack on your dreams tonight
You will choke on your dreams tonight

A police car and a screaming siren -
A pnuematic drill and ripped up concrete -
A baby waiting and stray dog howling -
The screech of brakes and lamplights blinking -
That's entertainment.

A smash of glass and the rumble of boots -
An electric train and a ripped up 'phone booth -
Paint splattered walls and the cry of a tomcat -
Lights going out and a kick in the balls -

That's entertainment.

Days of speed and slow time mondays -
Pissing down with rain on a boring wednesday -
Watching the news and not eating your tea -
A freezing cold flat and damp on the walls -

That's entertainment.

Waking up at 6 a.m. on a cool warm morning -
Opening the windows and breathing in petrol -
An amateur band rehearsing in a nearby yard -
Watching the tele and thinking about your holidays -

That's entertainment.
Waking up from bad dreams and smoking cigarettes -
Cuddling a warm girl and smelling stale perfume -
A hot summers' day and sticky black tarmac -
Feeding ducks in the park and wishing you were faraway -

That's entertainment.

Two lovers kissing amongst the scream of midnight -
Two lovers missing the tranquility of solitude -
Getting a cab and travelling on buses -
Reading the grafitti about slashed seat affairs -

That's entertainment.

To be someone must be a wonderful thing
A famous footballer a rock singer
Or a big film star, yes i think i would like that
To be rich and have lots of fans
Have lots of girls to prove that i'm a man
And be no. 1 - and liked by everyone

Getting drugged up with my trendy friends
They really dig me and i dig them
And the bread i spend - is like my fame - it's quickly diminished

And there's no more swimming in a guitar shaped pool
No more reporters at my beck and call
No more cocaine it's only ground chalk
No more taxis now we'll have to walk

But didn't we have a nice time -
Didn't we have a nice time
Oh wasn't it such a fine time

I realize i should have stuck to my guns
Instead shit out to be one of the bastard sons
And lose myself - i know it was wrong - but it's cost me a lot

And there's no more drinking after the club shuts down,
I'm out on me arse with the rest of the clowns
It's really frightening without a bodyguard
So i stay confined to my lonely room
