Is There Something I Should Know?

Please, please tell me now
Please, please tell me now
Please, please tell me now
Please, please tell me now

I made a run, I run out yesterday
Tried to find my mountain hideaway
maybe next year, maybe no go

I know you're watching me every minute of the day, yeah
I've seen the signs and the looks and pictures
That give your game away, yeah

There's a dream that strings the road
With broken glass for us to hold
and I cut so far before I had to say

Please, please tell me now
Is there something I should know?
Is there something I should say?
That would make you come my way
Do you feel the same 'cos you don't let it show

People stare and cross the road from me
And jungle drums they all clear the way for me
Can you read my mind, can you see in the snow
and fiery demons all dance when you walk through that door
Don't say you're easy on me, you're about as easy as a nuclear war

Please, please tell me now
Is there something I should know?
Is there something I should say?
That would make you come my way
Do you feel the same 'cos you don't let it show

Please, please tell me now
Is there something I should know?
Is there something I should say?
That would make you come my way

Please, please tell me now
Is there something I should know?
Is there something I should say?
That would make you come my way

Please, please tell me now
Can you see what makes me blow?
Can you see how much I die?
Every time it passes by

Please, please tell me now
What it takes to make you show
Is there something I should know?
Is there something I should say?

Hungry Like The Wolf

(Ha ha!)

Darken the city, night is a wire
Steam in the subway, earth is a fire
Do-do do do, do do do, do do do, do do do, do do
Woman you want me, give me a sign
And catch my breathing even closer behind
Do-do do do, do do do, do do do, do do do, do do

In touch with the ground
I'm on the hunt I'm after you
Smell like I sound, I'm lost in a crowd
And I'm hungry like the wolf
Straddle the line, in discord and rhyme
I'm on the hunt I'm after you
Mouth is alive with juices like wine
And I'm hungry like the wolf

Stalked in the forest, too close to hide
I'll be upon you by the moonlight side
Do-do do do, do do do, do do do, do do do, do do
High blood drumming ony our skin it's so tight
You feel my heart, I'm just a moment behind
Do-do do do, do do do, do do do, do do do, do do

In touch with the ground
I'm on the hunt I'm after you
Scent and a sound, I'm lost and I'm found
And I'm hungry like the wolf
Strut on a line, it's discord and rhyme
I howl and I whine I'm after you
Mouth is alive all running inside
And I'm hungry like the wolf

Hungry like the wolf
Hungry like the wolf
Hungry like the wolf

Burning the ground I break from the crowd
I'm on the hunt I'm after you
I smell like I sound, I'm lost and I'm found
And I'm hungry like the wolf
Strut on a line, it's discord and rhyme
I'm on the hunt I'm after you
Mouth is alive with juices like wine
And I'm hungry like the wolf

Burning the ground I break from the crowd
I'm on the hunt I'm after you
Scent and a sound, I'm lost and I'm found
And I'm hungry like the wolf

Strut on a line, it's discord and rhyme
I howl and I whine I'm after you
Mouth is alive all running inside
And I'm hungry like the wolf...

New Religion
(A dialogue between the ego and the alter ego)

I've been now sauntering out and down a path sometime.
Come on, it takes me nowhere which I knew
Faces everywhere pulling grins and signs and things
Telling me not there man, it's no go (Don't go there boy)

I need a reason (I can't think without one now)
Too much learning got to show
Call it treason (Maybe catch her don't know how)
Too many things too much to know

Bring my timing in, seagulls gather on the wind.
Lady screaming, lady leave me out
'cause sometimes people stare (Coming down, electric chair)
And steaming crowds they gather and they shout

Don't know why this evil bothers me
(Take another chance boy carry the fight
You can take him if you're fast)

So why is he trying to follow me?
(Didn't I say if you're holdin' on
You'd be laughing at the last)

How many reasons do they need?
(I get along fine with them friends of mine,
But you have to make a choice)

I might just believe this time
(You're singing out of tune, but the beats in time.
And it's us who make the noise)

I'm talking for free. I can't stop myself, It's a new religion
I've something to see, I help myself, It's a new religion

Okay my reasoning might be clouded by the sun
But someone sees the departmental lie
You know this peacetime, jabbing fist in stabbing knife
Only get one look before you die

Don't know why this evil follows me
(Gotta take pay for the saints 'n' sinners.
In regulation hats 'n scarves 'n things)

So why does he try to bother me?
(Walking in formation down the lane.
They carry their cross make a church bell ring)

How many reasons do they need?
(Army majors pull a mean cool truth
There lying in a swimming pool) I might just be right this time
(Searching for the undeniable truth,
That a man is just a fool)

(chorus)

Save A Prayer

You saw me standing by the wall, corner of a main street
And the lights are flashing on your window sill
All alone ain't much fun so you're looking for the thrill
And you know just what it takes and where to go.

Don't save a prayer for me now.
Save it til the morning after
No don't say a prayer for me now.
Save it til the morning after

Feel the breeze deep on the inside look down into the well
If you can you'll see the world in all his fire
Take a chance (like all dreamers can't find another way)
You don't have to dream it all, just live a day.
(chorus)

Save it til the morning after
Save it til the morning after
Save it til the morning after....

Pretty looking road I try to hold the rising floods that fill my skin
Don't ask me why I'll keep my promise I'll melt the ice
And you wanted to dance, so I asked you to dance
But fear is in your soul,
Some people call it a one night stand, but we can call it paradise

(chorus)
Save it til the morning after
Save it til the morning after
Save it til the morning after
Save it til the morning after
Do do do do do, do do do do do do do do

Save a prayer til the morning after...

The Wild Boys

The wild boys are calling on their way back from the fire
In august moon's surrender to a dust cloud on the rise
Wild boys fallen far from glory, reckless and so hungered
On the razors edge you trail because there's murder (murder)
By the roadside in a sore afraid new world

They tried to break us, looks like they'll try again

Wild boys... never lose it
Wild boys... never chose this way
Wild boys... never close your eyes
Wild boys... always shine

You got sirens for a welcome, there's bloodstain for your pain
And your telephone been ringing while you're dancing in the rain
Wild boys wonder where is glory where is all you angels
Now the figureheads have fell?
And lovers war with arrows over secrets they could tell

They tried to tame you, looks like they'll try again

(chorus)

The Seventh Stranger

Those words are all remainders
Echos growing in the heart of twilight
They lay back laughing at naivety's star.
Awaken all those whispers,
The dusty shadow of a passing favour
I wouldn't say that you were ruthless or right
I couldn't see from so far.
Was I chasing after rainbows?
One thing for sure - you never answered when I called.
And I wiped away the water from my face
To look through the eyes of a stranger...

For rumours in the wake of such a lonely crowd
Trading in my shelter for danger
I'm changing my name just as the sun goes down -
In the eyes of the stranger!

Can't tell the real from reflections
When all these faces look the same to me
In every city such a desolate dream.
Some days are strange to number
Some say the seventh sounds a little bit stranger
A year of Sundays seems to have drifted right by -
I could have sworn in one evening.
And I'm not seized in desperation,
No steel reproaches on the table from before.
But I still can feel those splinters of ice
I look through the eyes of a stranger...

(chorus)

I must be chasing after rainbows
One thing for sure you never answer when I call.
And I wipe away the water from my face
To look through the eyes of a stranger...

For rumours in the wake of such a lonely crowd
Trading in my shelter for danger
I'm changing my name just as the sun goes down
Walking away like a stranger

(chorus)
In the eyes of the stranger...

The Chauffeur

Out on the tar plains, the glides are moving
All looking for a new place to drive
You sit beside me so newly charming
Sweating dewdrops glisten freshing your side

And the sun drips down bedding heavy behind
The front of your dress - all shadowy lined
And the droning engine throbs in time
With your beating heart

Way down the lane away, living for another day
The aphids swarm up in the drifting haze
Swim seagull in the sky towards that hollow western isle
My envied lady holds you fast in her gaze

(chorus) (chorus)

Sing Blue Silver

And watching lovers part, I feel you smiling
What glass splinters lie so deep in your mind
To tear out from your eyes, with a thought to stiffen brooding lies
And I'll only watch you leave me further behind

(chorus) (chorus)

Sing Blue Silver
Sing, Sing... Blue Silver

(Theres more to this kind of camouflage)
(More than just colour and shape)
(Who's going now, in to a classiomatic?)

Union Of The Snake

Telegram force and ready
I knew this was a big mistake.
There's a fine line drawing my senses together,
And I think it's about to break.

If I listen close I can hear them singers, oh oh oh...
Voices in your body coming through on the radio, ho, ho...

The union of the snake is on the climb...
Moving up, it's gonna race, it's gonna break through the, borderline

Nightshades on a warning
Give me strength at least give me a light.
Give me anything even sympathy
There's a chance you could be right.

(chorus)

The union of the snake is on the climb...
It's gonna race it's gonna break -
Gonna move up to the borderline...

The union of the snake is on the climb...
Moving up it's gonna race, it's gonna break through the borderline.

The union of the snake is on the climb
It's gonna race it's gonna break -
Gonna move up to the borderline...

Planet Earth

Only came outside to watch the nightfall with the rain
I heard you making patterns rhyme
Like some new romantic looking for the TV sound
You'll see I'm right some other time

Look now, look all around, there's no sign of life
Voices, another sound, can you hear me now?
This is planet Earth you're looking at planet Earth
Bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop this is planet Earth

My head is stuck on something precious
Let me know if you're coming down to land
Is there anybody out there trying to get through?
My eyes are so cloudy I can't see you

Look now, look all around, there's no sign of life
Voices, another sound, can you hear me now?
This is planet Earth you're looking at planet Earth
Bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop
This is planet Earth

Bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop
Calling planet Earth

Bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop
Looking at planet Earth

Bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop
This is planet Earth

Careless Memories

So soon just after you've gone
My senses sharpen
But it always takes so damn long
Before I feel how much my eyes have darkened

Fear hangs in a plane of gunsmoke
Drifting in our room
So easy to disturb, with a thought, with a whisper
with a careless memory, with a careless memory

On the table, signs of love lies scattered
And the walls break, with a crashing within
It's not as though you really mattered to me
But being close, how could I let you go
Without some feeling, some precious sympathy following

Fear hangs in a plane of gunsmoke
Drifting in our room
So easy to disturb with a thought with a whisper
with a careless memory, with a careless memory
I walk out into the sun, try to find a new day
But the whole place just screams in my eyes
Where are you now 'cause I don't want to meet you
I think I'd die, I think I'd laugh at you
I know I'd cry, What am I supposed to do follow you

Outside the thoughts coming flooding back now
I just try to forget you

So easy to disturb with a thought with a whisper
with a careless memory, with a careless memory
with a careless memory, look out
Look out, look out, look out...
