"Intravenous"

"Intravenous"



I looked across the North Sea
And the sea looked so dead
(I wondered what this place would look like
In the next twenty years)
But where I'm living
All the shop shelves are full
Goods to help me shut out
Scenes of this dying world

And every time I tried to hide
The churning of my guts inside
Everybody failed to heed the warning
Mother, mother I just stand by
They push the needle deep inside
Pump poison in your veins
Intravenous

Holidays were different
All the things I learnt
All the boys were sunning
While the skin cancer burnt
Just for one split second
I saw the great work of man
As he turned the forests
Into deserts of sand

"Invocation"

"Invocation"



Hearts of darkness and hate
O evil, oblivion your fate
O betrayer i come a war without end
My enemy's enemy is my friend
Mankind becomes the whore
Temples are empty - no law
False religions shall rise
Flags of scarlet shall fly
O destroyer of world
Babylon

"Jana"

"Jana"



She hears his footsteps, he walks up the path
And when the letter drops her heart beats fast
She picks up the envelope then she turns her face away
She'll check out her results another day
Refusing to accept what they might say

Jana cry "I've got so much to give"
Jana sigh "I've got so much to live"
Jana's mind - positive or negative
Jana died

I watch her shiver by the fireside
From time to time she just breaks down and cries
Her cat curled in her lap and she's secure in a place that she calls home
Flicking through postcards and brochures of Rome
Dreaming of places that she'd like to go

Her friends bring her soup each day
And she takes an array of bright coloured pills
From a.z.t. to vitamin c but still she wastes away
Forcing down food but still she wastes away

Jana cry "I've got so much to give"
Jana sigh "I've got so much to live"
Jana cry - Jana tested positive
Jana died

"Judas Goat"

"Judas Goat"



See the sleeping figures holding up the clock
In Prague's old town square, blank faces of rock,
they wander and they follow; guides, they call
Then the clock starts chiming: it's my wake up call

A rich man's war in poor man's blood
Silent their cries, the lost and loved
Led to the slaughter, led by false hope
Follow behind the Judas goat

Parasitic humans losing all, I feel
All that we believed was true, all I thought was real
Cheated, then set up by those we trusted most
Bitter were the drinks of party on the host

A rich man's war in poor man's blood
Silent their cries, the lost and loved
Led to the slaughter, led by false hope
Follow behind the judas goat
Follow behind the judas goat

"Kings And Queens"

"Kings And Queens"




Well take it easy
While the world goes crazy
As it's just another day
And we've all been through the mangle
And our pockets are empty
But we'll live like kings and queens
Hear the choirs of noise sing
Take a load off my mind soothe me
Live like kings and queens

Well easy sleazy
In and out and back again
Feel a power running through me
And I'm alive and kicking
I accept submission
To the pleasures of the flesh
And the joy of pain
Satisfy me satisfy
Live like kings and queens

I said: "take it easy
"Sanity has come"
I can never undo
The wrong of the beginning
There's so many hungry
But I'm gonna turn a blind eye
'Cos I've got to live now
Rejoice and kill your heart 'cos I say...
Live like kings and queens

"Labyrinth"

"Labyrinth"



Running through this maze - cry at what I see
A civilization with values alien to me
All the role models, lost souls, false gods that I am shown
Ordeals that I pass through for purposes unknown?
In the cul-de-sac turn back on my trade from the cul-de-sac

Help try getting me out
In a transient phase
At the end of an age
Running through this maze

Some born again idiot tracks me down and I couldn't escape
Trying to notch up points for his entrance fee to new Jerusalem
"Do you love the lord your god with all your dogma?"
He said "you'll get it all back in the next life"
Get it all back, get it all back

Get it all back

Mystery schools for the fools, great seats of learning
Business, lawsuits, market forces - no philosophy courses
A bachelors degree in loopholes and a masters in self-interest
Studies for automatons and syllabus two
A city and guilds in extortion and a ph.d. in fuck you

"Land Of Milk And Honey"

"Land Of Milk And Honey"



Land of - better change your tune now
Milk and - oh so negative
Honey - and we're so content now
Land of - Land of Milk and Honey

And you never even know when it's standing right before you
'Cos always watching the detective film about
How it's not on 93rd Street always misses golden opportunities

Land of - better change your tune now
Milk and - oh so negative
Honey - and we're so content now
Land of - Land of Milk and Honey

One up three to go, all the hidden motives
Like daytime airplay - hah - cocktail Saturday
And the silver disc upon the wall means success
So they tell me

Land of - better change your tune now
Milk and - oh so negative
Honey - and we're so content now
Land of - Land of Milk and Honey

Change the tune now, sales go dwindle
Change the subject next new single
Change the tune now, sales go dwindle
Change the subject next new single

Land of Milk and Honey
Land of - Milk and Honey
Land of.

"Lanterns"

"Lanterns"


Equinox sun. Summers of fun
No mortgage repayments to weigh my mind
And if it all fell through tomorrow
Put my pack on my back
And it's home where the lunatics roam
Faith, faith moved a mountain
Where the rivers are so clean
And the consciousness so green
And the luminous folk shine like
Lanterns of hope

Lanterns of hope shine on
Lanterns of hope

Ribbons of wishes, tied to the trees
Hives full of honey, yield to the seed

And if it all fell through tomorrow
Put my pack on my back
And it's home where the lunatics roam
Faith, faith moved a mountain
Where the rivers are so clean
And the consciousness so green
And the luminous folk shine like
Lanterns of hope

Lanterns of hope shine on
Lanterns of hope

Fire, fire light the lantern
When we drink from the streams
And we grow our own greens
And the fences have all been torn down

Lanterns of hope [8x]

"Let's All Go (To The Fire Dances)"

"Let's All Go (To The Fire Dances)"



On our way to the fire dances
Let's all stay on our feet so
In the market here we are then
Sing a song for sixpence oh!
Time keeps ticking - tick tick tock
Can't stop now just keep on pushing
I've got a feeling something's changing
I'm gonna find this feeling somewhere

Let's all go to the fire dances

Take the future in your hands now
Let's do this dance forever
Teacher teach me something new please
Sow the seed god speed the plough
Basic ways to simplify me
Sun is shining in your favour
Push push me till I get there
I'm gonna find the human somewhere

Turn the pages time goes backwards
Pay the piper to play your tune
You and me in a dance forever
Summer nights and music - oh!
Fill your cup and don't say maybe
Sun is shining in our favour
Let's be human - oh so human
On your way to the fire dances

"Loose Cannon"

"Loose Cannon"



This is the way
Reprogrammed
This is the way
Unload
This is the way
Play my drum
This is the stick
Download
This is the day
Tale orders
This is the life
Don't comply
This is the end of nations' borders
These are the fears I'm trying to hide
I'm a loose cannon

This is the day the sky turned green
This is the day I saw in my dream
These are the fears I'm trying to hide
These are the tears trapped inside
I'm an urban animal
Still a primitive man
I'm an urban animal
One step from a cannibal

I'm a loose cannon

I'm an urban animal
Still a primitive man
I'm an urban animal
One step from a cannibal

I'm a loose cannon
