Water on Glass

Cascading down
There's a sound vaporising into vision
It's a sound in my head
That I feel and it shuts me in a prison

Say it won't last
Say it will pass
Always the sound in my brain
Can you hear it

Water on glass running down again
Water on glass that sound
Water on glass running round again
Help me, the sound of running water's
Coming down

Dancing away
Like the lights on a moving coloured river
Sounds in my head seem to run
And again I feel a shiver

Say it won't last
Pray it will pass
Always that sound in my brain
Can you hear it (Can you hear it)

Water on glass running down again
Water on glass that sound
Water on glass running round again
Help me, the sound of running water's
Coming down

Water on glass running down again
Water on glass that sound
Water on glass running round again
Help me, the sound of running water's
Coming down

Our Town

This is our 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 ligths.
It's a high town, it's a low town.
It's a 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 its really dejected.
No-one cares and the people just stare
and a man on the box says "Hey you, don't walk that away,
[male voice] vote for me [Kim] You'll get more pay,
[male voice] keep working hard."
[Kim] But they work slow.

Here it comes now, Sunday morning.
Just anothe 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 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 towns gonna die.

Hail the new age, it's a rats 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.
Now it's changed without any warning.
Cranes just crash and bricks just smash.
While a billboard's saying
"Let's go, lets get away
Come fly me, you've weeks to pay
When sunshine calls", bit I won't go.

Everything We Know

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

A. R. Everything we know (3)
Everywhere we go. [End of A.]

We walked along the beach.
Once lovers, now we're out of reach.
The windy skies bade whispered goodbyes.
It take experience to teach.

[Repeat A.]

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

[Repeat A two times.]

Young Heroes

Everyone round keeps putting us down, let it go.
It's the same odl 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.

A. We anly wanna stay young, we only wanna be free.
He doesn't wanna be you, she doesn't wanna be me.
R. We're young heroes. (2) [End of A.]

Shouted down pushed and we're getting real bushed.
Just have your say and we'll do it your way,
if it makes you feel better.
Nothing much to add to what I say,
'cause I know just how it feels to be...

[Repeat A.]

We only wanna be free.

Kids In America

Looking out a dirty old window.
Down below the cars in the city go rushing by.
I sit here alone and I wonder why.

Friday night and everyone's moving.
I can feel the heat but it's soothing.
Heading down, I search for the beat in this dirty town.

Down town the young ones are going.
Down town the young ones are growing.

A. R. We're the kids in America. (2)
Everybody live for the music-go-round. [End of A.]

Bright ligths the music get faster.
Look boy, don't check on your watch, not another glance.
I'm not leaving now, honey not a chance.

Hot-shot, give me no problems.
Much later baby you'll be saying never mind.
You know life is cruel, life is never kind.

Kind hearts don't make a new story.
Kind hearts don't grab any glory.

[Repeat A.]

Come closer, honey that's better.
Got to get a brand new experience.
Feeling right.
Oh don't try to stop baby.
Hold me tight.

Outside a new day is dawning.
Outside Suburbia's sprawling everywhere.
I don't want to go baby.
New York to East California.
There;s a new wave coming I warn you.

[Repeat A.]

R. We're the kids (3) in America.

Chequered Love

A. You say everything's alright.
I say nothing can go right, yeah.
Oh what a game you can play.
Sad days add to confusion.
Sad ways end in dillution, yeah.
That's the name of the game. [End of A.]

B. Well I know your love is rough.
And the road you take is tough.
But I just can't get enough,
chequered love. [End of B.]

Touch me, do what you want to.
Say no, then, I just need you.
Babe, you're gonna drive me insane.
You are man for all seasons.
You are man for all reasons, yeah.
You're the man with no pain.

[Repeat B.]

C. R. Oh I can't let go. (2)
'Cos I need you so tonight. [End of C.]

[Repeat A.]
[Repeat B.]
[Repeat C.]

2-6-5-8-0

I watch a man sitting down by the park.
The flashy suit manufactured by the makers.
He's got a pen and he circles an add.
It maked 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.
He combs her hair doesn't worry at all.
He could be mad but it's just another pay day.

A. R. 2-6-5-8-0 (3)
Oh, dial it if you want to know me. [End of A.]

She likes to live on the poor side of town.
She's chacking 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.

[Repeat A.]

She doesn't have to make her money that way.
She such a pretty young girl.
I guess they love it 'cos you hear when they stay.
The 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.

[Repeat A two times.]

You'll Never Be So Wrong

Just two lovers in a seedy cafe.
Someone's leaving, the waiter says "Hey won't yoy wait!".
Running nowhere, she hides in her room.
What he told her was he had to get out and soon.

It;s just a bad affair you've had.
No need to cry, don't take it bad.
You'll soon be glad when you're far apart.

A. R. You'll never be so wrong, not for a long time. (2)
'Cause I'm never gonna find that feeling again.
I'm never gonna find that feeling again. [End of A.]

Now she's breaking but what can she do.
Somewhere out there a car disappear out of view.
Fumbles somewhere for stale cigarettes.
Looks for numbers, the ones she could dial but forgets.

No point in you just looking down.
No way that you can turn it around.
You've got to realise you're free.

[Repeat A two times.]

Falling Out

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 cxan say.

A. Now it's to 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 med, yeah.
Falling out - you know that I'm so hurt baby. [End of A.]

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.

[Repeat A.]

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 on my door.
Just turn the light out, close your eyes andthink of me no more.

[Repeat A.]

Tuning In Tuning On

Crusising 'round there's a sound with a place to go.
Tuning in tuning on like a radio.
Feel 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 anywhere you go.

Tuning on.

R. I really can't explain. (2)

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.

R. I really can't explain. (*)

[Spoken by Kim while music fading.]
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 our lives,
well, then sounds could be alive.
And it's a part of all of us,
and not just somthing that is dead, 
it's actually 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 something you hear.
It's fantastic! it's just fantastic!
