Invisible Sun

Invisible Sun








[One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, liftoff]
I don't want to spend the rest of my life
Looking at the barrel of an Armalite
I don't want to spend the rest of my days
Keeping out of trouble like the soldiers say
I don't want to spend my time in hell
Looking at the walls of a prison cell
I don't ever want to play the part
Of a statistic on a government chart
There has to be an invisible sun
It gives its heat to everyone
There has to be an invisible sun
That gives us hope when the whole day's done
It's dark all day and it glows all night
Factory smoke and acetylene light
I face the day with me head caved in
Looking like something that the cat brought in
There has to be an invisible sun
It gives its heat to everyone
There has to be an invisible sun
That gives us hope when the whole day's done
And they're only going to change this place
By killing everybody in the human race
They would kill me for a cigarette
But I don't even wanna die just yet
There has to be an invisible sun
It gives its heat to everyone
There has to be an invisible sun
That gives us hope when the whole day's done

It's My Life

It's My Life






It's a hard world to get a break in
All the good things have been taken
But girl there are ways to make certain things pay
Though I'm dressed in these rags,
I'll wear sable some day
So hear what I say
I'm gonna ride that serpent
Yeah!
No more time Sweating
Hear my command
I'm breakin' loose,
Ain't no use holdin' me down
Hold..stick around
But baby remember
It's my life and I'll do what I want
It's my mind and I'll think what I want
Show me I'm wrong, hurt me sometime

But some day I'll treat you real fine
Aaaah..Hear what I say
I'm gonna ride that serpent
Yeah!
No more time sweating
Hear my command
I'm breakin' loose,
It ain't no use holdin' me down
Hold..stick around
And baby,(baby)
Remember,(ember)
It's my life and I'll do what I want
It's my mind and I'll think what I want
Show me I'm wrong,
Hurt me sometime
But some day I'll treat you real fine

King Of Pain

King Of Pain





There's a little black spot on the sun today
It's the same old thing as yesterday
There's a black cat caught in a high tree top
There's a flag-pole rag and the wind won't stop

I have stood here before inside the pouring rain
With the world turning circles running 'round my brain
I guess I'm always hoping that you'll end this reign
But it's my destiny to be the king of pain

There's a little black spot on the sun today
That's my soul up there
It's the same old thing as yesterday
That's my soul up there
There's a black hat caught in a high tree top
That's my soul up there
There's a flag-pole rag and the wind won't stop
That's my soul up there

I have stood here before inside the pouring rain
With the world turning circles running 'round my brain
I guess I'm always hoping that you'll end this reign
But it's my destiny to be the king of pain

There's a fossil that's trapped in a high cliff wall
That's my soul up there
There's a dead salmon frozen in a waterfall
That's my soul up there
There's a blue whale beached by a springtime's ebb
That's my soul up there
There's a butterfly trapped in a spider's web

That's my soul up there

I have stood here before inside the pouring rain
With the world turning circles running 'round my brain
I guess I'm always hoping that you'll end this reign
But it's my destiny to be the king of pain

There's a king on a throne with his eyes torn out
There's a blind man looking for a shadow of doubt
There's a rich man sleeping on a golden bed
There's a skeleton choking on a crust of bread

King of pain

There's a red fox torn by a huntsman's pack
That's my soul up there
There's a black-winged gull with a broken back
That's my soul up there
There's a little black spot on the sun today
It's the same old thing as yesterday

I have stood here before inside the pouring rain
With the world turning circles running 'round my brain
I guess I'm always hoping that you'll end this reign
But it's my destiny to be the king of pain

King of pain
King of pain
King of pain
I'll always be king of pain
I'll always be king of pain
I'll always be king of pain
I'll always be king of pain

Lady Of Delight

Lady Of Delight




Just the kind of lady to really set you sailing
On emotion's ocean
Just like a river she's rolling on forever
Got you running around now you've found
She turns the tide of your tired heart
Back to the place where you made a start
She's got the power to burn you up
But she's turning, turning your golden heart

Lady, lady of delight
Lady, lady of the night

Don't stand in the gutter boy, mumble and mutter
That the world ain't treating you right
I'm talking to you - I can prove it too -
You'd better listen to me - I've got a guarantee
Now who told you life was meant to be
Happiness, Light, Love and Free
What made you think you had a right?
You're just a frightened child in the middle of the night

Lady, lady of delight
Lady, lady of the night

Wild dogs baying at the moon
Alley cats singing out of tune
Hoot of owls across the lake -
These are sounds that follow her wake

Don't think you can change her -
I know she'll rearrange you
You might disagree but just you wait and see
You think you're winning but look at the state you're in
Danger - stranger:
Some call her goddess some call her a whore
But she's a sister - a lover - a mother and more
She keeps on coming - she makes it clear
That if you let her in you've got nothing to fear

Lady, lady of delight
Lady, lady of the night

Landlord

Landlord




Words and music by Sting and Stewart Copeland
I don't want to rent a house from you
I don't know how you can expect me to
I ain't moving 'cause I know my rights
Too many homeless on the streets at night
You own a street and a block of flats
You earn your living like the other rats
You've no morality, what do you care
You deal in poverty, you buy despair
I ain't moving 'till the baliff comes
I've got no weapons, gonna get me some
I ain't moving 'till the baliff comes
I've got no weapons, gonna get me some
You go and call yourself a business man
You're just a parasite on Pyllosan
You're just a middle class middle aged shit
You sold your granny for a three-penny bit
You own a street and a block of flats
You earn your living like the other rats
You've no morality, what do you care
You deal in poverty, you buy despair
I ain't moving 'till the baliff comes
I've got no weapons, gonna get me some
I ain't moving 'till the baliff comes
I've got no weapons, gonna get me some

I ain't moving 'till the baliff comes
I've got no weapons, gonna get me some
I ain't moving 'till the baliff comes
I've got no weapons, gonna get me some
You go and call yourself a business man
You're just a parasite on Pyllosan
You're just a middle class middle aged shit
You sold your granny for a three-penny bit
You own a street and a block of flats
You earn your living like the other rats
You've no morality, what do you care
You deal in poverty, you buy despair
I ain't moving 'till the baliff comes
I've got no weapons, gonna get me some
I ain't moving 'till the baliff comes
I've got no weapons, gonna get me some
I ain't moving 'till the baliff comes
I've got no weapons, gonna get me some
I ain't moving 'till the baliff comes
I've got no weapons, gonna get me some
I ain't moving 'till the baliff comes
I've got no weapons, gonna get me some
I ain't moving 'till the baliff comes
I've got no weapons, gonna get me some

Low Life

Low Life



Fatal fascination for the seedy part of town
Walk down the street and your head spins round
Don't be seen alone without your friends at night
Take a gun or a knife to the low life
Don't have to be born into this society
Pay for love but the hate comes free
Bring enough money for the rest of your life
Don't bring your wife to the low life
Bringing us there to their vocation [? should be: the degredation]
Always keep your back to the wall
No rewards for your infatuation
Low life
No life at all
Yeah, low life, low life
In here too long to be afraid anymore
You can't reach the bed so you sleep on the floor
You get so stoned you think you could fly
But you won't get high on the low life
Low life....

Message In A Bottle

Message In A Bottle



Just a castaway
An island lost at sea, oh
Another lonely day
No one here but me, oh
More loneliness
Any man could bear
Rescue me before I fall into despair

I'll send an SOS to the world
I'll send an SOS to the world
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
Message in a bottle, yeah
Message in a bottle, yeah

A year has passed since I wrote my note
I should have known this right from the start
Only hope can keep me together
Love can mend your life
But love can break your heart

I'll send an SOS to the world
I'll send an SOS to the world
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my

I hope that someone gets my
Message in a bottle, yeah
Message in a bottle, yeah
Hoh
Message in a bottle, yeah
Message in a bottle, yeah

Walked out this morning
Don't believe what I saw
A hundred billion bottles
Washed up on a shore
Seems I'm not alone at being alone
A hundred billion castaways
Lookin' for a home

I'll send an SOS to the world
I'll send an SOS to the world
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
Message in a bottle, yeah
Message in a bottle, yeah
Message in a bottle, hoh
Message in a bottle, yeah

Sendin' out an SOS
Sendin' out an SOS
Sendin' out an SOS

Mr. Normal

Mr. Normal



When I walk down the street you point your ugly finger at me
Then you turn to your friends and you laugh, "Hey, what can that be?"
Well it's none of your business what I'm all about
Why don't you watch where you're going and shut your mouth
Just like a robot, just like a sheep,
Like a zombie: dead asleep,
Just like a spider with not enough feet
Oh you're normal

Mr., Mr., Mr. Normal
Mr., Mr., Mr. Normal
Mr., Mr., Mr. Normal
Mr., Mr., Mr. Normal
Oh you're very - very normal

Well, it makes you feel big to put people who are different down
Well, you call me dirty names 'cause it makes you feel like a man
You think the world was made just for you
And it scares you to know that it's my world too
You think that you are superior and I am inferior
You're misinformed and plain ignorant
Oh, oh, aren't we normal?

Mr., Mr., Mr. Normal
Mr., Mr., Mr. Normal
Mr., Mr., Mr. Normal
Mr., Mr., Mr. Normal

You want everyone that you meet to be just like you

And when they ain't, you think you got the right to tell 'em what to do
Like a computer with rusty gears,
You've been programmed with lies and fear
You want an answer to your question,
But when you get it, you give rejection
'cause your mind has been infected
But you call that normal

Mr., Mr., Mr. Normal
Mr., Mr., Mr. Normal
Mr., Mr., Mr. Normal
Mr., Mr., Mr. Normal

Oh, you're normal
Oh, you're normal
Oh, you're normal

Hello, Mr. Normal
Good day, Mr. Normal

Little grey monsters with razor sharp teeth
Control junkies with machine trained eyes
You can tell who they are by the way they sneer
Whenever one of us walks by
Antennaes on their heads; they're on the alert
They wanna write our names in the book of the dead;
Define our morals; lay tracks for our feet
They wanna be in charge of what is in our heads
They bubble, they - hmmm... yeah, link
They sparkle, they bubble
They're gonna get us in a whole lot of trouble

Murder By Numbers

Murder By Numbers




Once that you've decided on a killing
First you make a stone of your heart
And if you find that your hands are still willing
Then you can turn a murder into art

There really isn't any need for bloodshed
You just do it with a little more finesse
If you can slip a tablet into someone's coffee
Then it avoids an awful lot of mess

chorus
Because it's murder by numbers
one two three
It's as easy to learn as your ABC
Murder by numbers
one two three
It's as easy to learn as your ABC

Now if you have a taste for this experience
And you're flushed with your very first success
Then you must try a twosome or a threesome
And you'll find your conscience bothers you much less

Because murder is like anything you take to
It's a habit-forming need for more and more
You can bump off every member of your family

And anybody else you find a bore

(chorus)

Now you can join the ranks of the illustrious
In history's great dark hall of fame
All our famous killers were industrious
At least the ones that we all know by name

But you can reach the top of your profession
If you become the leader of the land
For murder is the sport of the elected
And you don't need to lift a finger of your hand

Because it's murder by numbers
one two three
It's as easy to learn as your ABC
Murder by numbers
one two three
It's as easy to learn as your ABCDE

One two three
ABC
One two three
ABC
One two three
ABC

Because it's murder by numbers
one two three
It's as easy to learn as your ABC
Murder by numbers
one two three
It's as easy to learn as your ABCDE
