Greatest Hits

Cruising 'round there's a sound with a place to go
Tuning in tuning on like a radio
Fell the sound in your head and you set the seal
I believe it's a force of the life you feel - tuning on

Do you know what the sounds that you hear will find
Reach to space to the stars and another time
I believe that they search like a seed to grow
In the end it's the same anyway you go

I really can't explain
I really can't explain

Crashing out for the last and the final time
Could a sound and a soul travel on combined
From the womb to the end is it everywhere
Feel the beat of my heart and you know it's there

I really can't explain

Spoken

I really believe that sound reaches infinity, do you know what i mean. i think it goes on and on forever, and if that's true and it was linked to the spiritual side of your lives, well, then sou
Ould be alive. can you imagine the possibilities for the future ? linking the soul and the sound and then being able to make a giant spiritual musical machine, actually a part of us and not just
Thing you hear - it's fantastic - it's just fantastic

I really can't explain

Stand at the mirror and look at my face
See all the changes i know somethings wrong
But when i think back to the love that we had
I look for escape 'cos i know that it's gone

I always looked on the touch of our love
As a soft stream running over me
But i always knew there would be a way out
But for you, not for me
Just a felling

Now all i see is the trace of a smile
Memories forgotten a long time ago
Never believed i could see you this way
I don't know what changed you, i'll just never know

I used to dream there was someone around
Who was there just to watch over me
Out in the crowds there was someone around
Who was meant just for me

Friends say "impossible"
But i say it's got to be

Just a feeling

Repeat to fade

I watch a man sitting down the park
The flashy suit manufactured by the makers
He's got a pen and he circles an add
It makes him laugh 'cos he's reading dirty papers

2-6-5-8-0

She doesn't know but she's getting his call
He's talking straight but he wants it in a strange way
She combs her hair doesn't worry at all
He could be mad but its just another pay day

2-6-5-8-0
2-6-5-8-0
2-6-5-8-0 oh, dial it if you want to know me

She likes to live on the poor side of town
She's shacking down with a guy from west guiana
The boys around always look at the ground
Oh, what they'd give for a night with that piranha

2-6-5-8-0
2-6-5-8-0
2-6-5-8-0 oh, dial it if you want to know me

She doesn't have to make her money that way
She's such a pretty young girl
I guess they love it 'cos you hear when they stay
They cry oh, oh, oh

This guy arrives looking scared as a rat
He needs her love but he wants it like a brother
Three hours later he crawls out on his knees
She's laughing loud 'cos he's calling for his mother

2-6-5-8-0
2-6-5-8-0
2-6-5-8-0 oh, dial it if you want to know me

2-6-5-8-0
2-6-5-8-0
2-6-5-8-0 oh, dial it if you want to know me

Don't bring your gun 'round here
Don't need you mouthing off your fear
It touches all you can build a wall
We all have tasted tears

Everything we know
Everything we know
Everything we know
Everywhere we go

We walked along the beach
Once lovers now we're out of reach
Windy skies, they kissed me goodbye
It takes experience to teach

Everything we know
Everything we know
Everything we know
Everywhere we go

Nobody laughed today
I went to watch the children play
Their smiles and mine were frozen in time
I'll just remember them that way

Everything we know
Everything we know
Everything we know
Everywhere we go

Everyone round keeps putting us down, let it go
It's the same old play in a grown up day
It's a stinging sensation
Hanging round on every corner
Where, all the young kids i know want to be

We only wanna stay young, we only wanna be free
He doesn't wanna be you, she doesn't wanna be me
We're all young heroes
We're all young heroes

Shouted down pushed and we're gettin' real bushed
Just have your say and we'll do it your way
If it makes you fell better
Nothing much to add to what i say
'cause i know just how it fells to be

We only wanna stay young, we only wanna be free
He doesn't wanna be you, she doesn't wanna be me
We're all young heroes
We're all young heroes

We only wanna be free

Darlin', can you come over
Can you come over
Meet me tonight

I've been sitting here alone
Looking down this telephone
Thinking things i'd really love to say to you
Oh, it's true
I can't get enough of how you love
That's the truth i swear to you

Can you come over
Can you come over - think of what we could do
If you decide to, if you're alive to
What i want from a guy like you

Darlin, can you come over
Can you come over - meet me tonight

Watching movies on tv
Never does a thing for me
I get bored just living here and hanging 'round
Toss a coin it's heads or tails
If i run a bath or do my nails
What's it really matter when i'm far away from you

If you come over
If you come over - i could be good for you
Wouldn't you please me
It could be easy
Just stay here for a night or two

Darlin', can you come over
Can you come over - meet me tonight

I'm the girl who waits for you
I'm the girl who needs you too
I'm the girl who wants you tonight

Darlin', can you come over
Can you come over
Meet me tonight

Lost in the night, out on the streets
And blown into the wind
She was just heading for trouble
When they got her downstairs

Cut by the lights, strands of her hair
Just tumble from her cheeks
She's just another caucasion in a crime worn day

Inside her heart was breaking
No-one knew what she'd been through
Inside her mind's escaping
To a world that no-one knew

Lost in the night, somebody said go easy on the girl
You'll never get a confession
If you treat her that way
Two pairs of eyes shout at her face and late into the night
They heard a softer whisper saying
"let me go"

Inside her heart was breaking
No-one knew what she'd been through
Inside her mind's escaping
To a world that no-one knew

Wendy sadd has flown away
Wendy found her freedom
No-one else could follow there
Not inside the world of wendy sadd

Somebody shouts, something is wrong and panick hits the room
They said she looked at the ceiling and the lights went out
Clutched in her hand
All they could find was a letter that she'd wrote
It said try and forgive them
For what they've done

Inside her heart was breaking
No-one knew what she'd been through
Inside her mind's escaping
To a world that no-one knew

Wendy sadd has flown away
Wendy found her freedom
No-one else could follow there
Not inside the world of wendy sadd

What can i say now after all is said and done
You cut me up in pieces when the shooting first begun
What did i do to you to make you turn away
'cause now there's nothing left for me
There's nothing i can say

Now it's too late you feeling sorry
You'll never change
And there's nothing you can do about it

Falling out - why did you do it to me, yeah
Falling out - cutting me up into pieces
Falling out - you know that you upset me, yeah
Falling out - you know that i'm so hurt baby

You said you loved me, i believed you for a while
You sure could fool the angels
When you use that painted smile
I should have known that it was too good to be true
But now that it's all over, you know i won't forget you

Now it's too late you feeling sorry
You'll never change
And there's nothing you can do about it

Falling out - why did you do it to me, yeah
Falling out - cutting me up into pieces
Falling out - you know that you upset me, yeah
Falling out - you know that i'm so hurt baby

So now it's over and there's nothing left to say
The flame that burned within my heart
Now slowly fades away
So don't you ever think of knocking at my door
Just turn the light out, close your eyes
And think of me no more

And it's too late to say you're sorry
You'll never change
And there's nothing you can do about it

Falling out - why did you do it to me, yeah
Falling out - cutting me up into pieces
Falling out - you know that you upset me, yeah
Falling out - you know that i'm so hurt baby

This is your town, this is my place
This is where my whole world is lived in
Nothing much, and just out of reach of all the city lights
It's a high town, it's a low town
It's get here, come on you grow town
No-one does, but everyone thinks they're gonna make it soon
This is one place i respected
Now i feel it's really dejected
No-one cares and the people just stare
And a man on the box says
"hey you, don't walk away, vote for me
You'll get more pay, keep working hard"
But they work slow

Here it comes now, sunday morning
Just another sleepy town yawning
Down below everything looks just like another day
But, in the warm glow of the sunrise
There's a child who's searching with young eyes
Looking 'round and feeling inside he's gonna fly away
There was one time i was leaving
But the folks around me kept grieving
Friends said go, but my dad said no
And my mum kept saying
"don't go, don't go away
Don't leave us, you've got to stay
Just raise them kids, oh mother no"

No prospects, just projects
Don't try to tell me we're living
There's no real need to try
Can't you see this town gonna die

Hail the new age, it's a rat cage
Join the place for breeding dumb spieces
All stacked up and doing whatever someone tells you to
Burn the place down, make it dead ground
Show the people just what they're missing
Wake up, wake up, can't you believe in what i'm telling you
There's a house where i was born in
Now it's changed without any warning
Cranes just crash and bricks just smash
While a billboard's saying
"let's go, let's get away
Come fly me, you've weeks to pay
When sunshine calls, but i won't go

This is our town
