1. _ Killing Time
Everybody's going somewhere
See how they stand in line
All complaining their lives are unfair
Too bad for them, too bad for mine
(it's the killing time) from now till then
(killing time), not knowing when
They're watching me, i'm watching them
Standing by the empty mine
(killing time)
It's a killing time
I know it well
Killing time
Until the bell
Too late to change, too soon to tell
And in between, the killing time
(killing time) giving me hell
Up above the stars still shine
Through the poverty and grime
Of the empty streets below
Killing time, nowhere to go
(killing time)
Tell me, brother what's the plan?
Will i be a working man?
And occupy my idle mind
Or kill the time i knew so well
(killing time) giving me hell
Still i can smile at what i see
Soap operas full of vanity
So much wealth and property
Side by side with petty crime
Is that all life's meant to be?
Commercials full of luxuries
A man has one, a cat has nine
And in between it's killing time
(killing time)
It's a killing time
I know it well
Too late to change
Too soon to tell
Still i can smile at what i find
Waiting round and killing time
Bite the bullet
Help me through it
These lunatics will take my mind
Why can't life be more sublime
Than all of this waste and killing time
Killing time
I know it well
It's the killing time

2. _ Repetition
You get up in the morning
And every single day
Is just a repetition
It's always been that way
You live alone inside your head
Incommunicado, in the land of living dead
Each day's a repetition
Of the one that went before
Like watching an old movie
You can't sit through anymore
Why don't you kick the habit
And walk right out that door?
From all the repetition
Day after day
All the repetition
It's always been that way
It's in your head, it's in your eyes
You're boring and it's no surprise
With all the repetition
Day after day
All the repetition
They say it's time to start all over
And call it a day
But you go right back where you started
Day after day
You go right back to where you started
Day after day, after day, after day, after day
You look in the mirror
Is anybody there?
It's only a reflection
That doesn't really care
You're a product of your time
Looking hard for something, but you never saw the sign
Lock inside a prison
But that's where you wanna be
Stuck in solitary
And you've thrown away the key
You say you want your freedom
But you don't wanna get away
Then you wake up, it's time for you
To start another day
With all the repetition, day after day, all the repetition
All the repetition day after day
Another chance, another day
You know it's time to get away from all the repetition
Day after day
How long you gonna sit and wait
You're getting on it's getting late
They say it's time to start all over
And call it a day
But you go right back where you started
Day after day
You go right back to where you started
Day after day, after day, after day, after day

3. _ Rock 'n' Roll Cities
Rock 'n' roll cities, look out here we come
From buffalo to the gulf of mexico
Rock 'n' roll cities, look out for our bus
Does anybody know the way to idaho?
Well it's good to be back
Had some trouble on the way
I never thought we'd get here
But we made it just the same
The flight over was real rough
So could you lead me to a beer
I see the pretty girls getting younger
Every year
Rock 'n' roll cities, look out here we come
From new york state to the gulf of mexico
Rock 'n' roll cities, look out for our bus
Does anybody know the way to idaho?
Wcvr konk, wsos, are we still on that playlist?
Well, it's anybody's guess
But what does it matter when you're out on the town
Rock 'n' roll cities, with a pizza to go
Rock 'n' roll cities, philadelphia p.a.
I got my radio
Promo for mtv
What's next on the itinerary? can anybody tell?
What's the hotel like? is there cable t.v. as well?
Get up with a headache, fall asleep on the plane
And we get there, start all over again
Rock 'n' roll cities, look out we're coming through
Kansas city, fresno, san diego
Rock 'n' roll cities, look out here we come
Richmond, cleveland, ohio, nebraska, st. paul
Rock 'n' roll cities, look out here we come
From buffalo to the gulf of mexico
Rock 'n' roll cities, watch out for our bus
Does anybody know the way to idaho?
Flight 62 now leaving for memphis stopping at boston
Washington d.c. with continuing service to los angeles
Seattle, portland... etc...
Rock 'n' roll cities, look out here we come
90 miles on highway 61
Rock 'n' roll ladies, watch out here we come
Does anybody know the way to madison?
Rock 'n' roll cities look out here we come
Rock 'n' roll cities

4. _ Welcome To Sleazy Town
One hand on the controller
One hand on the re-wind
You can even watch it all in slow mo'
'cos you just sit at home all day
Now you got plenty of time
If you want some real live action
And the video's too tame
If you wanna touch some heat
But you don't know how to light that flame
If you want some satisfaction
Instead of studying the freeze frame
I used to have this spot on main street
It was bounding, it was hot
It was dark, it was dirty
But dull it was not
The joint was jumping every night
But now it's just a parking lot
This city was cruel
This city was keen
This city was alive
This city was mean
Till the office blocks and parking lots
Came and closed this city down
I could stand outside
The kids hung round
And the neon sign said
Welcome to sleazy town
Welcome to sleazy town
Sleazy, sleazy town
Everybody hung loose
It was cool and easy
People used to meet and have a good time
Down in sleazy town, sleazy town, sleazy town, sleazy town
Then the corporations came along
And bought this piece of ground
The leases all went up
And so the buildings all came down
They built the motorways and shopping malls
And they killed off sleazy town
This city was cool
This city was keen
This city was alive
This city was till the office blocks and parking lots
Came and closed this city down
I could stand outside, the kids hung round
And the neon sign said
Welcome to sleazy town
Welcome to sleazy town, sleazy, sleazy town
City hall killed off that scene
Now sleazy town is just a dream

5. _ How Are You
It's been a while, i haven't seen you for at least
A year or more, or is it less? i can't be sure
Well, anyway, you must have heard about the
Troubles that i had, but somehow i got through
I always managed to... and by the way
How are you?
How is your life?
How is it going?
Are you still dreaming and making big plans?
How are the nights are they still lonely?
Are you still struggling the way that i am? oh
How, how are you? how are you?
You always said that you would try to change
Turn a new leaf and start all over again
But i bet you're making all the same mistakes
You're a lot like me, that's why i'm still your friend
Still no offence, no more hard feelings left on silly sentiment
No harm was ever felt or ever meant
You go your way, i'm bound to see you on the street again some day
And when i do i'll always say
How are you? how are you?
How is your life? how is it going?
Are you still dreaming and making big plans?
How are the nights? are they still lonely?
Are you still struggling the way that i am? oh
How, how are you? how are you?
I know you're making all the same mistakes
You're a lot like me that's why i'm still your friend
I bet go, i gotta thousand little things i better do
Ah, but it was really good to talk to you
Be on my way, i'm bound to see you on the street again someday
And when i do i'll say
How are you? how are you?
How is your life? how is it going?
Are you still dreaming and making big plans?
How are the nights? are they still lonely?
Are you still struggling the way that i am? oh
How, how are you? how are you?

6. _ Natural Gift
See that girl walkin' down the street
She looks like a prima donna
She's a star in her head and the world's at her feet
She looks at you twice and your heart skips a beat
She didn't learn it at high school or from a glossy magazine
You see she's a natural, she gotta natural gift
You gotta rise above your stupidity
You're dumb but don't give in
You gotta rise above your station
Discover what's within
And with some luck and dedication and some careful manipulation
Everybody needs some inspiration
Everybody needs some motivation
Mix it up with some imagination
And use your natural gifts, you gotta natural gift
You got natural gifts
Ah, hey, hey, hey, ah, hey, hey
And use your natural gifts, you got natural gifts
You don't have to be a genius to find
All the hidden potential deep in your mind
You don't have to know about nuclear physics
Know all the formulas and vital statistics
You don't have to be an intellectual, you don't have to be a scientist
To use your natural gifts, you got natural gifts, yeh
Use your natural gifts, you got natural gifts
You gotta stop this depression you're in now
Stop this emotional rift, you need a psychological lift now
Everybody needs some inspiration, everybody needs some motivation
Mix it up with some imagination and use your natural gifts
There are bad people, mad people, bitter people, scared people
Wanna put you down and keep you in your place
But you gotta chance to break out, you gotta chance to get out
And use your natural gifts

7. _ When You Were A Child
We are born to this fantasy
Can't believe what they've done to you
Hard to see all these years go round
Taught to hide all that's true inside
What was it like
When you were a child?
Did you see the world
In a different light?
When the veil came down
Our destiny grew away from us
Don't it make you weep
Can't you see
I believe that we were meant for each other
We'll get along somehow
If they leave us alone
Why don't they let us be
...just what we want to be
Don't it make you weep, can't you see?
I can't believe what they've done to you
They've got you just where they wanted you
When we sleep, dream each other's dreams
Casting memories on a sea of hope
Remember life as a child could be
Bring it back for all of use to see
What was it like
When you were a child?
How did it feel?
Did your mother treat you kind?
Mend those broken toys?
For in your heart there's innocence
Waiting to be free, can't you see?
When you were a child

8. _ Think Visual
Productivity is getting higher and higher oh, oh, yeh
But profitability is getting tighter and tighter oh, oh, yeh
When you see our face in the market place we gotta clean cut image to keep
(the competition is getting tighter and tighter)
We gotta advertise, we gotta merchandise, ooh, oh, yeh
Flash those teeth
Competition's on the rise
Open those eyes better get computerised
Think visual, think visual, think visual
Think visual, think visual, show your personality
Marketing says we gotta merchandise
But economy says we gotta minimise huh -
We gotta budget to face and the marketplace is full of competition, competition
Think digital, synthisise, computerise, think visual
Productivity, marketability, higher and higher
Flash those teeth, open those eyes
Think visual, think visual
Flash those teeth, competitions on the rise
Open those eyes, better get computerised
Think visual, think visual, think visual
Think visual, think visual, push the button and see
Marketing say we gotta goal to chase
But economy says we gotta budget to face
Get your attitude straight, 'cos it's all in your mind
And it's never too late to get a new design
And if you wanna compete you gotta visualise
Flash those teeth, come on open those eyes
Think visual

9. _ Working At The Factory
|
10. _ The Video Shop
The local factory's been pulled down
By an overseas corporation
Now all of my brothers are looking around
For alternative occupation
I was sitting by the telly with my brother, kenny
When suddenly the penny dropped
While all of my brothers are sitting at home
I've got a bank loan and i've opened up my very own
Video shop
Video shop
At the video shop
I can fly, fly you away
Comedy and tragedy are all sitting on my shelf
And if you've got a fantasy
For a small rental fee
You can set yourself free
At my video shop
At my video shop
At the video shop
I can fly, fly you away
At the video shop
Let me fly, fly you away
From all of the depression in you head
Caused by all the living in the red
I've got a bootleg version of citizen kane
A second hand copy of psycho
I've taped them off the telly so you shouldn't complain
And there's no guarantee you'll get your money back again
From my video shop
My video shop
If you want to escape, i can rent you a tape
To relieve your situation
If you feel a bit low, i got a good peep show
'cos everybody knows almost anything goes
At my video shop
At my video shop
One fifty a day and i'll fly, fly you away
It's nothing to pay to fly far, far away
I can help you through that lonely night
I've got technicolour, black and white
I can guide you through those empty days
Make you smile and take your blues away
O let me fly you away
At my video shop
Fly, fly you away
Another factory's been knocked down
But nobody ever complains
And all of my brothers are customers now
We all play video games
I can see it in the eyes of all the lonely wives
If they're bored and they feel like a change
I do sales, rentals, even a swop
And if you feel like a change, well it can all be arranged
At my video shop
At my video shop
At my video shop
At my video shop
Let me fly, fly you away
And everyone who walks in through that door
Has got something that they're looking for
At my video shop
At my video shop
At the video shop
I can fly, fly you away
At the video shop
Let me fly, fly you away
Oh, at the video shop
Oh, at the video shop
Oh, at the video shop

11. _ Lost And Found
Waiting for the hurricane
To hit new york city
Somebody said it's hit the bay
This is the nitty gritty
And all the bag ladies
Better put their acts together
We're near the eye of the storm
This is really heavy weather
We were lost and found, in the nick of time
While the ship was going down
We were lost and found, just in time
With the hurricane crossing the coast line
We were lost and found, just in time
Oh
This thing is bigger than the both of us
It's gonna put us in our place
We were lost and found, just in time
Now we've got no time to waste
They're putting up the barricades
Because the hurricane is heading up this way
So won't you come in from the cold and the pouring rain
And the old see dog says shiver me timbers
The sky's gone black
And it's like the dead of winter
We were lost and found in the pouring rain
When the hurricane swept across the coast line
This thing is bigger than the both of us
It's gonna put us in our place
We're gonna see what really matters
When you see that storm stare us in the face
We were lost and found
And we beat the fear
We came through the storm
Now it all seems clear
We were lost and found, standing here
Looking at the new frontier
Lost and found, just in time
With the hurricane crossing the coast line
Lost and found, just in time
With the hurricane crossing the coast line
