"Drive By"

"Drive By"


It was the hottest day in July
And all along Santa Monica Blvd
cars were stood still
And a gleaming metal tube
Would stretch all the way from Highland
Back to La Brea.
And she met under Los Angeles sunshine

Young man was sitting at the wheel
On his way to make a pickup
Turned off the air-con
Rolled down the window
And began to sweat

Out over the Hollywood hills
He saw the clouds building
Like great dark towers of rain
Ready to come tumbling down
Any day now
Not a day too soon

(any day now)

And as the music drifted in
From other cars
His eyes started to slip
This is the story of his dream

Silver...

(Sing Blue Silver, Sing Sing Blue Silver)

This is the story of his dream...

"Drowning Man"

"Drowning Man"


He's sinking faster than a drowning man
He'll grab a hold of anyone he can
Gun in his poket and a heart of ham
Uncle Sam
He's dying faster than a rabid dog
Infect us all now he's losing blood
Nose for trouble and a soul of rock
Smokey's man
Don't drag me down
I don't wanna drown
Your going down
NA NANA NA NANA NANA NA NA
There's not much flesh
Just skin and bone
Cheeks sunk deep
Eyes popping wide
Don't put out a hand to help him
This drowning man will bite it right off
RIGHT OFF
RIGHT OFF
RIGHT OFF
Don't drag me down
I don't wanna drown
Your going down
NA NANA NA NANA NANA NA NA
[MID]
He's selling faster than a magazine
Infect us all with his TV Screen
Don't drag me down
I don't wanna drown
Your going down
NA NANA NA NANA NANA NA NA

"Drug"

"Drug"


Take me every morning
Take me every night
Take me when you're feeling low
Take me when you want to stay
Up all night
Before you slip into the white
There's something i want you to know
In all your stretch of consciousness
You've still got a long way to go
Some make you spin,
Some make you sweat,
It's only here for you to choose
Some like it hot,
But I like it wet, so tell me...
What have we got to lose now?
Take me every morning
Take me every night
Take me when you're feeling low
Take me when you want to stay
Up all night
(a hit, a hit)
A hit to fit reality
It's just a state of mind
And you, and it, it's more than just
And that's what you've got to find
We'll make you spin,
We'll make you sweat
All you have to do is choose me
And if you would try
And alternative high
Then tell me, what have we got to lose now?
Take me every morning
Take me every night
Take me when you're feeling low
Take me when you want to stay
Up all night
Take me every morning
Take me every night
Take me when you're feeling low
Take me when you want to stay
Up all night

"Early Summer Nerves"

"Early Summer Nerves"


What were the chances for me, when I spoke to her last night
What were the chances I'd be, here lying by her side
Why does it look so risque, hiding in the morning light
Now as the memory hits me, right between the eyes

Strange nobody else can hear those fingers tapping on the glass
With reviews of early summer nerves

Welcome to miss adventure, oh she is a slippery slow
Welcome to glamour central, where I'm hanging on a row

Who exactly am I trying to fool with all those snazzy words
Just a case of early summer nerves

This won't get me out of it but finally I understand
You've got to love those early summer nerves

"Electric Barbarella"

"Electric Barbarella"


I knew when I first saw you on the showroom floor
You were made for me
I took you home and dressed you up in polyester
Princess of my dreams
Emotionless and cold as ice
All of the things I like
The way you look
The way you move
The sound you're makin'
In ultra-chrome, latex and steel
I plug you in
Dim the lights
Electric Barbarella
Your perfect skin
Plastic kiss
Electric Barbarella
Try to resist
Then we touch
Hallucinate and tranquilize
(she's so fine)
(she's all mine)
Our private life is subject to investigation
No time to waste
People say they heard about our deviation
But you never looked so good
Wear the fake fur and fake pearls for me
And put on your mystery
The way I feel you know
I'll never keep you waiting
In ultra-chrome, latex and steel
I plug you in
Dim the lights
Electric Barbarella
Your perfect skin
Plastic kiss
Electric Barbarella
Try to resist
Then we touch
Hallucinate and tranquilize
Princess of my dreams
Princess of my dreams
Major domo plasticomo Barbarella
(She's so fine)
Pro-genetic you Electric Barbarella
(She's all mine)
My pretty pretty pretty pretty Barbarella

"Face For Today"

"Face For Today"


A little ray of comfort in the afternoon
To brighten up the room
To lighten up your mood
The whole world is an ink spot on a plastic spoon
You can fight it
Or invite it
Live beside it, laughing 'til you're crying

Hold on to your time boy
Don't be scared of what they'll say
You'll pull it off fine girl
If you got the face for today... yeh!
Oh yeh, oh yeh... mmmm

Around around the wall of death around you go
What keeps you in the air
Is having not a care
Yeh
And time flies like a dancing man on crystal glow
You can fight it
Or invite it
Live beside it, laughing 'til you're crying

Hold on to your time boy
Don't be scared of what they'll say
You'll pull it off fine girl
You've got that thing which makes us smile, yeh!
Hold on to your time boy
Make up your own fat caché
You'll pull it off fine girl
If you got the face for today... yeh!
Yeh
When you got the face for today... yeh!
Hold on to your time boy
Don't be scared of what they'll say
You'll pull it off fine girl
You've got that thing which makes us smile, yeh!
Hold on to your time boy
Wake up on that speeding train
You'll pull it off fine girl
If you got the face for today... yeh!
The face for today... yeh!
The face for today... yeh!

"Fallen Angel"

"Fallen Angel"


From this cloud where I hang dangle in the blue
I spy you all tiny creatures on the ground below
For my being reckless got me strung up in the sky
But love is flawed now see the lowlies cry
Cut my cord now better then better off to die

Here am I your falling angel dangle in the blue
I'm your angel and I wish that I could be like you

It's my time all I have for my crime is such
Knowing that the thing I love is that which I can't touch
So I watch your fragile beauty changing in the sun
Love is flawed now see the lowlies cry
Cut my cord now better then better off to die

Well here am I your falling angel dangle in the blue
I'm your angel how I wish that I could be with you
Falling angel dangle in the blue
I'm your angel and I wish that I could be like you

I believe in you I don't believe it all but I believe in you
I don't believe it all but I belive in you
I don't believe it all but I believe in you
I don't believe it all

"Falling Down"

"Falling Down"


Once was a man who consumed his place and time
He thought nothing could touch him
But here and now it's a different storyline
Like the straw he is clutching
Why has the sky turned grey
Hard to my face and cold on my shoulder
And why has my life gone astray
Scarred by disgrace, I know that its over
Because I'm falling down
With people standing round
But before I hit the ground
Is there time
Could I find someone out there to help me?
Howl at the wind rushing past my lonely head
Caught inside its own motion
How I wish it was somebody else instead
Howling at all this corrosion
Why did the luck run dry
Laugh in my face, so pleased to desert me
Why do the cruel barbs fly?
Now when disgrace can no longer hurt me
Because I'm falling down
With people standing round
But before I hit the ground
Is there time
Could I find someone out there to help me?
You see I'm falling down
With people standing round
But before I hit the ground
Is there time
Could I find someone out there to help me?
I don't know.... Why...

"Femme Fatale"

"Femme Fatale"


Here she comes you better watch your step.
She's going to break your heart in two
Its true it's not hard to realize
Just look into her false coloured eyes
She'll build you up just to put you down,
What a clown
'Coz everybody knows... she's a femme fatale
Things she does to please, sees just a little tease
See the way she walks, hear the way she talks
You're written in her book,
You're number 37 take a look
She's going to smile to make you frown, what a clown
Little boy she's from the street
Before you start your're already beat
She's going to play you for a fool
Yes it's true
'Coz everybody knows... she's a femme fatale
Things she does to please, sees just a little tease
See the way she walks, hear the way she talks
She will try to put you doen, the hardest girl around
'Coz everybody knows... she's a femme fatale
Things she does to please, sees just a little tease
She's a femme fatale.

"Finest Hour"

"Finest Hour"


How does it feel out on the ice?
You speak to the crowd but nobody hears
It's not a dream and you are no Christ
And you're not alone come in from the fear
Gonna take it back
Take back the life that you wanna lead
Been under quiet attack
But now it's time for you and me
Gonna take it back
You've got to fight for what you believe
We're gonna make this stand
The finest hour that we see
When did our choice become erased?
Where is the violence in this crowd?
Now that our voice has been replaced
With a silence that screams out loud
Gonna take it back
Take back the life that you wanna lead
Been under quiet attack
But now it's time for you and me
Gonna take it back
You've got to fight for what you believe
We're gonna make this stand
The finest hour that we see
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Gonna take it back
Take back the life that you wanna lead
Been under quiet attack
But now it's time for you and me
Gonna take it back
You've got to fight for what you believe
We're gonna make this stand
The finest hour that we see
Yeah... The finest hour that we see
We're gonna make this stand
The Finest Hour that we see
Yeah -eah - eah -eah -eah
