Girls On Film

See them walking hand in hand
Across the bridge at midnight
Heads turning as the lights flashing out are so bright
And walk right out to the four line track
There's a camera rolling on her back
On her back
And I sense a rhythm humming in a frenzy
All the way down her spine

Girls on Film (4x)

Lipstick cherry all over the lens as she's falling
And miles of sharp blue water coming in where she lies
The diving man's coming up for air
'Cause the crowd all love pulling Dolly by the hair
By the hair
And she wonders how she ever got here
As she goes under again

Girls on Film (Got your picture)
Girls on Film

Wider, baby, smile and you've just made a million
Fuses pumping live heat twisting out on a wire
Take one last glimpse into the night
I'm touching close
I'm holding bright, holding tight
Give me shudders in a whisper,
Take me up til I'm shooting a star

Girls on Film (she's more than a lady)

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

Chorus:
Look now, look all around, there's not 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

(chorus)

Bop bop ...
Calling planet earth

Looking at planet earth

This is planet earth

Anyone Out There

I never found out what made you leave
And now the day is over just an hour to go
I tried to phone last night but you didn't answer
Just left me ringing on the line

Chorus:
Outside is there anyone out there anyone else outside
O-utside love is there anyone out there anyone else outside

My face in the mirror shows a break in time
A crack in the ocean which does not align
I tried to sleep last night but I've caught your dreaming
About days we used to wonder away

(chorus)

Look maybe my name
Out of the window you can call by your
Another babe coves in vain
night over another light oh in vain
Oh I tried to phone last night but you never answered
Just
Left me ringing in the air (outside)

Is there anyone out there
(Anyone out there)

To The Shore

When your nine day feed is up
And you've drained your loving cup
Come stands reeling to the shore
When the brave are coming out
The dry fight and the dusty shout
See you crawling on the floor
And diamond stars shine glitter bright
Gorging your sanhedralite
Words are falling to the floor
Glands stand pouring fruit tree
Now they glisten on the water line
See how you are at the shore -
I'm moving Chrissie pretty flowers in the shutter maze
Haul up all your petty desires
Leave it lying down before
Wash away the rusty disease
Of your brown town days in our silver sea
Leave it dying at the door
Feather yell you've time to leave
Open out your
arms and
Breathe (4x)

Is There Something I Should Know

Please please tell me now (4x)
I made a break 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 the pictures they 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 stay

Chorus:
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
cos the dream that strings the road with broken glass for us to hold
and I got so far before I had to say

(chorus)

please please tell me now is tehre something I should know
please please tell me now can you see what makes me blow
please please tell me now is there something I should know
is there something i should say that would make you come my way

Careless Memories

Careless Memories

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

Chorus:
Fear hangs a plane of gunsmoke
drifting in our room
so easy to disturb
with a thought
with a whisper...
with a careless memory

On the table
signs of love lie scattered...
and the walls break
with a crashing within
It's not as though--
as though you really mattered
But being close,
how could I let you go
without some feeling
some precious sympathy following

(chorus)

I walk out into the sun
I try to find a new day
but the whole place
it just screams in my eyes
where are you now?
cuz I don't want to meet you
I think I'd die--
I think I'd laugh at you--
I think I'd cry--
What am I supposed to do,
follow you?

Outside the thoughts 
come flooding back now...
I just try to forget you...
So easy to disturb
with a thought...
with a whisper...
with a careless memory...

Night Boat

Standing...
on the edge of the quay
no lights flashing 
on the water for me
fog in my mind
darkens in my eyes
silently screaming
for a distant sound
ripple river yellow--
rising for a breath
of breeding and drowns
stillness overcome me
in the night

listen...
to the rising water moan

Chorus:
I'm waiting
waiting, for the nightboat
I'm waiting
waiting, for the nightboat

Shadows all through me
shudder away
echo me, echo me...
am I alone,
or is the river alive?
cuz it echoes me, echoes me--
echoes me...

(chorus x2)

I'm waiting for the nightboat...

Sound of Thunder

I've been in this grass here for the last 10 hours
My clothes are dirty but my mouth isn't dry
How does it happen?  Does it fly through the air?
Oh I gave up asking days away
I gave up asking
Days away

And now I'm lying here waiting for the Sound of Thunder
Waiting for the Sound of Thunder
Here I am, I'm a dotted line
Cut the corner, stick me to your door
I'm the man who stepped off the path
and I just lie here
It's what I was made for

And now my eyes are closing, but I still feel the land
Leaning out for the touch of my hand
The world spins so fast that I might fly off
The world spins so fast that I might fly off
The world spins so fast, I might fly off

Waiting for the Sound of Thunder
I'm waiting for the Sound of Thunder (x6)
fade out

Friends of mine

Friends of mine
They said they were friends of mine
Said they were passing time
More like a waste of time

Close the door
I said close the door
I've told you twice before
What are you waiting for?

Georgie Davies is coming out
No more heroew, we twist and shout
Oh no, not me, I'm not too late, 
And I know that I'm not taking any more
Rocky Picture has lost his gun
Leave him out now, he's having fun
Oh no, not me, I'm not too late
And I know that I'm not waiting any more
Hey hey

Through the eyes
Don't have to advertise
When will you realize
I'm sick of your alibis?

Running cold
The water's running cold
It's time that you were told
I think you're growing old

Georgie Davies is coming out
No more heroes, we twist and shout
Oh no, not me, I'm not too late, 
And I know that I'm not waiting any more
Rocky Picture has lost his gun
Leave him out now, he's having fun
Oh no, not me, I'm not too late,
And I know that I'm not taking any more
Hey hey

(pictures on the wall
they're all friends of yours
see them sell your alibi
it runs you by
think yourself lucky!)

Friends of mine
They said they were friends of mine
They were just wasting time
Out on the dotted line

The money's gone
I've known it all along
Why don't you say I'm wrong?
Why don't they drop the bomb?

'Cause Georgie Davies is coming out
No more heroes, we twist and shout,
Oh no, not me, I'm not too late,
and I know that I'm not waiting any more
Rocky Picture's thrown away his gun
Leave him out now, he's having fun
Oh no, not me, I'm not too late,
And I know that I'm not taking any more

What you doing, friends of mine
Holding back now, friends of mine
I've always heard you calling....

Tel Aviv
