"Telekon"

"Telekon"


Where is my outline I start to fade
No concentration means 'fail' these days

I leave the table saying 'I am real'
I feel the pressure like your eyes on me
Don't mention that name and books on love
I can't be sure, I can't be sure

You end on reel one
You end on reel one

You quote from 'anxious' and things we do
I need protection from the likes of you

Do you begin to see that I don't know
I live on memories that are hard to find
Send me a card and write 'I think of you'
I'll say you lied, I'll say you're lying

You are, you are

Tell me a secret I'm sure to fall
My dog runs A.W.O.L. I blame you all

We're in formation saying 'safe, safe, safe'
Turn up my collar and mix with dark
The speaker turns on me spot her eyes
It's hard to breathe, it's hard to breathe

You end on reel one
You end on reel one

You are, you are

"The 1930's Rust"

"The 1930's Rust"


Listen good
Don't cry for me
Don't cry anymore

Now just shut your mouth
This point of view
Appeals to me

Listen babe
Say you've got no-one tonight

Same old smile
That cracked a thousand hearts
But not mine

Same old line
I've read the book
And I know you well

Listen babe
Say you've got no-one tonight

What's this feeling
That I don't believe
No concern on my face

What's it for
You dream of something
Like I dreamed of you

Listen babe
Say you've got no-one tonight

"The Aircrash Bureau"

"The Aircrash Bureau"


Hello, I'm the aircrash bureau
I bet you're so surprised to see me
I could specialise in rumours
I'll send shivers up your spine

Pilot, back, I need my squadron
I was flying before D-day
Now I'm warning you of falling
I'll tell you when you're going down

Sometimes I get these questions
It reminds me of the skin game
We used to stand around on corners
Saying 'well here we are again'

So now she motions closer
Now that's what I call romance
Someone's calling me but vaguely
You need the feeling not the man

"The Angel Wars"

"The Angel Wars"


I won't pray here,
or bow my head.
I won't praise your name,
I won't kneel down.

I won't pray to you
on this side of sane. (Oh Lord)
I won't pray to you
on this side of Hell. (Father)
I won't pray to you
on this side of Heaven again.

I don't need faith,
forgiveness of sin;
I don't need saving,
I don't need lies.

I don't believe
in the angel wars .(Oh Lord)
I don't believe
in the Virgin Birth. (Father)
I don't believe
in the cross on the hill. (Jesus)
I don't believe
in the kindness of God to man.

I'll drive a stake
through the black of your heart. (Oh Lord)
I'll pull down your temples
and burn every word. (Father)
I'll kill all the angels
that show me "the light". (Jesus)
I'll drift into darkness
and tear out the soul of god.

"The Calling"

"The Calling"


You don't hear me
You don't see me
You don't even know I'm alive
So why do you call me?

I have young things
And they need me
What on earth can I do for you?
So why do you call me now?

You don't love me
You don't know me
Is this some kind of game for you?
Is that why you've called me?

"The Crazies"

"The Crazies"


Here in my room
Where the paint dries like your face
I'm still confusing love with need
Tonight at 10
I'll cry for a while
They'll get me for sure
It's just a question of time

We're the crazies

Some things I do
I feel so ashamed
But I have run of points of view
The man is a thinker
Who thought that he died

Just sits in the corner
Looking somewhat surprised

We're the crazies

I only exterminate
In my spare time
I fight the machine for the passers by
I know I'm wrong
But what makes you right
The simple solution is to end it all

We're the crazies

"The Dark In Me"

"The Dark In Me"


Can you feel me close to you?
Can you hear me pray for you?
Can you taste my need for you?
Can you see I’m here with you?

Ho ho ho ho ho ho
Me my shame
Ho ho ho ho ho ho
Me my shame

Can you feel me touching you?
Can you hear me call for you?
Can you taste my love for you?
Can you see I hurt for you?

Ho ho ho ho ho ho
Me my shame
Ho ho ho ho ho ho
Me my shame

I can feel the pain in me
I can hear the lies in me
I can taste the fear in me
I can see the dark in me

Ho ho ho ho ho ho
Me my shame
Ho ho ho ho ho ho
Me my shame

"The Dream Police"

"The Dream Police"


The dream police
Slogan: "What is on your mind?"
The airwave boys
Junkies won't get radio time
The purist league
White trenchcoats in pre-war style
The aging queens
Mister won't you stay a while?

In death row with Harlow
And others like you
I point my finger of hate
At your picture and love you and love you
The radio is talking
Is it you or me?
I must admit
It's far too late to dial police

What is your name?
We are the end of the line
Her eyes went out
Dreaming "overdose on time"
Hey you old grey eyes
Don't practice dying for real
The only one
September she knows I can feel

"The Fall"

"The Fall"


Put your hate in a box
See how it bleeds for you
I've watched you
Take your life and tear it apart

Put your pain in a box
I'll send it back to you
What have you become?
A shadow of a man

Do you fall like rain on the crying?
Cold and alone like the bitter and dying
Do you fall like dust on a ruin?
Empty and dead like the life you are loosing

Put your lies in a box
How have they worked for you?
Did they win you back
The things that you lost?

Put your shame in a box
How could you be so wrong?
You sit there broken
And the world moves on

Do you fall like rain on the crying?
Cold and alone like the bitter and dying
Do you fall like dust on a ruin?
Empty and dead like the life you are loosing

How does it feel?
I'll spare a little thought for "The Crow"
How does it feel?
Living in the black of your soul
How does it feel?
Like a beggar out caught in the cold
How does it feel?
With nothing but the truth left untold

Do you fall like tears on an ocean?
Drowning in rage like a poisoned emotion
Do you fall like a fading desire?
Lost and unloved a forgotten "messiah"

Do you fall like rain on the crying?
Cold and alone like the bitter and dying
Do you fall like dust on a ruin?
Empty and dead like the life you are loosing

"The God Film"

"The God Film"


She's like death on two legs
She is raw pink shame
Please stop the God film
It's all wrong
But I'm not to blame

These boys of image
Carry banners
Believe in slogans
Kill policeman
Say it's 'freedom'
Say it's 'goodness'
Say it's 'peaceful'
I'm lonely
I'm feeling down (everyone I know has been and gone)

It's such a sick picture
She says 'I cure everyone'
I'm alone in a corner
I won't ever forgive
I must be broken
I don't know
Who on earth can I blame?
