New Life

I stand still stepping on the shady streets
And I watched that man to a stranger
You think you only know me when you turn on the light
Now the room is lit, red danger

Chorus:
Complicating, circulating
New life, new life
Operating, generating
New life, new life

Transitions to another place
So the time will pass more slowly
Features fuse and your shadow's red
Like a film I've seen now show me

Your face is hidden and were out of sight
And the road just leads to nowhere
The stranger in the door is the same as before
So the question answers nowhere

(chorus)

I stand still stepping on the shady streets
And I watched that man to a stranger
You think you only know me when you turn on the light
Now the room is lit, red danger

(chorus)

Puppets

Get that feeling, head is reeling
You think you're in control, but you don't know me babe
I can move you, I can soothe you
I can take you places in a different play
And I don't think you understand
What I'm trying to say
I'll be your operator baby
I'm in control now

Watch your action, close reaction
And everything you're you're thinking babe inside your head
Conversation, my creation
Nothing that you do - you do - unless I say
And you don't know the consequences
Of the things you say
I'll be your operator babe
I'm in control

And all the things you tried to do babe
And all the words we've said before
Are only part of what I started baby
But you can't stop me anymore

Of that feeling
My head's on relief
You think you're in control
But you can only obey
I can move you
I can observe you
I can take different places in a different play
And I don't think you understand
What I'm trying to say
I'll be operated baby
I'm in control now

Dreaming of Me

Light switch, man switch
Film was broken only then
All the night, fuse tomorrow
Dancing with a distant friend

(Chorus)
Filming and screaming, I picture the scene
Filming and dreaming, dreaming of me

So we left, understanding
Clean cut, some were sounding fast
Talked of sad, I talked of war
I laughed and climbed the rising cast

(Chorus)

Quickly, I remember
Views that saw a face before
Timing, reason, understanding
Like Association Hall

(Chorus)
It's only me, Just me

Boys Say Go

(Chorus I)
You don't understand
This is in demand
And I think that I have to show you
Try to look inside
Take me for a ride
In the day and the night get to know you

(Chorus II)
Boys meet boys get together
Boys meet boys it's forever
Don't say no boys say go

I could run away
If you never stay
And the rain and pain and the sorrow

I'm not very sure
When you close the door
In the end it's the same as tomorrow

(Chorus II)

(Chorus I)

(Chorus II)

Nodisco

(Chorus)

I saw you in the picture
I saw you play the part
This ain't nodisco
There's a thousand watching you
You take this too far
This ain't nodisco
Sometimes when I wonder if you're taking a chance
This ain't nodisco and you know how to dance
Move me disco, baby don't you let go

This ain't nodisco

Part one, act one
Everyone pretend
This ain't nodisco
This is more a story and we're reaching the end
This ain't nodisco
Always makes me happy when you're taking a chance
This ain't nodisco and you know how to dance
Move me disco, baby don't you let go
This ain't nodisco

(Chorus)

Move me disco
Baby, don't you ever go

This ain't nodisco

What's Your Name

Sometimes watch you walk down the street I fair drive
Sometimes I can feel you in the air
Looking good, knew you would
All the time I understood

(Chorus)

Hey you're such a pretty boy (3x)
So pretty

Everybody seems to look in your way now
(Everybody seems to look your way)
Everybody wants to know your name
(Hey, hey, what's your name?)
Feeling bright, just tonight
Hear them say you're out of sight

(Chorus) (2x)

All the boys we got to get together
All the boys together we can stand
We can go, never know
All the things we need to show

(Chorus)

You're so pretty ( P-R-E, double T-Y)

Photographic

A white house, a white room
The program of today
Lights on, switch on
Your eyes are far away


The map represents you
And the tape is your voice
Follow all along you
Until you recognize the choice


(Chorus)

I take pictures
Photographic pictures
Bright light, dark room
Bright light, dark room


I said I'd write a letter
But I never got the time
And I'm looking to the day
I mesmerize the light
The years I spent just thinking
of a moment we both knew
A second passed like an empty room

It seems it can't be true

(Chorus)

Bright light, dark room

Tora! Tora! Tora!

They'll be raining from the sky
Exploding in my heart
Is this love and desguise
Or just a form of modern art
From the skies you can almost see the cry
Tora! Tora! Tora!
In the town they were going down
Tora! Tora! Tora!

I had a nightmare only yesterday
You played down a skeleton
You take my love then died that day
I played down America
From the skies you can almost hear the cry
Tora! Tora! Tora!
In the town they were going down
Tora! Tora! Tora!

I played down America ...

Any Second Now (Voices)

She remembered all the shadows and the doubts
The same film
Vivid pictures like a wall that's standing empty
And the night's so still

Such a small affair, a relapse
Someone closing like the nightclub door
Here again and when you speak
I watch you move away and seem so sure

She is hoping to forget and the moment almost slips away
When the colours move apart and I wonder if you want to stay

And I need to change you
Like the words I'm reading
Don't you understand
Is the warning and the message
I remember as you touch my hand

Just Can't Get Enough

When I'm with you baby
I go out of my head
And I just can't get enough, I just can't get enough
all the things you do to me and everything you said
I just can't get enough, I just can't get enough
We slip and slide as we fall in love
And I just can't see to get enough.

We walked together, we're walking down the street
And I just can't get enough, I just can't get enough
Everytime I think of you I know we have to meet
And I just can't get enough, I just can't get enough
It's getting harder, it's a burning love
And I just can't see to get enough

And when it rains you're shining down for me
And I just can't get enough, I just can't get enough
Just like a rainbow you know you set me free
And I just can't get enough, I just can't get enough
You're like an angel and you give me your love
And I just can't see to get enough, ahhh

I Just can't get enough
