"Sugar"

"Sugar"



Shout, shout aloud
I still can't get enough
Lover, I got sugar on the brain
These sun sets so fine, drink the heavy wine
Lover never did the sugar thing
So shout it out
Tell me it now
I need to know you wanna do those things
Hope you can stay on
Hope you lead me on
Hope we can produce that special thing
Take me away from this place
Take me up into the space
Moonshine, sunshine
Brother I got sugar on the brain
Shout, shout aloud
I still can't get enough
I wonder what relieves me from this pain
Shine, shine your love
I hope you lead me on
Lover, we got sugar on the brain
The sun sets so fine,
If you drink your heavy wine
Lover never did the sugar thing
Take me away from this place
Take me up into the space
Sugar
It tastes like sugar
Moonshine, sunshine
Any place you want count me in
Moonshine, anytime
Lover I got you, come here
It tastes like sugar
It tastes like sugar
It tastes like sugar

It tastes like sugar

It tastes like sugar
Anytime, anyplace

"Sun City"

"Sun City"


South Africa Away to South Africa
Got to say I ain't gonna play Sun City

[Chorus:]
I ain't gonna play Sun City
I ain't gonna play Sun City
(Everybody Say)
I ain't gonna play Sun City
(No baby)
I ain't gonna play Sun City

Relocation to phoney homelands
Separation of families I can't understand
Twenty three million can't vote 'cause they're black
We're stabbing our brothers and sisters in the back I'm gonna say

Out Government tell us "we're doing all we can"
Constructive engagement is Ronald Reagan's plan
Meanwhile people are dying and giving up hope
This quiet diplomacy ain't nothing but a joke

[Chorus:]

It's time to accept resposibility
Freedom is a priviledge nobody rides for free
Look around the world baby it cannot be denied
Why we're always on the wrong side

[Chorus:]

Boputhuswana is far away
But we know it's in South Africa no matter what they say
You can't buy me I don't care what you pay
Don't ask me Sun City 'cause I ain't gonna play

[Chorus:]

Relocation to phoney homelands
Separation of families I can't understand
Twenty three million can't vote 'cause they're black
We're stabbing our brothers and sisters in the back I'm gonna say

[Chorus:]

"Superman V Supersoul"

"Superman V Supersoul"



Rhada come to it
Brother slide through it
Sister rise - don't you care?
Come on taste the mountain air
Innocence comes to chance
The mystery and spirit of romance
Butterflies make you sigh
And Kali-Yuga's miles away
Procession gets in line
With words of wedding day rhyme
It'll make you cry
Kali-Yuga's miles away
And the young girl's eyes are miles away
And the dust still lies miles away

Rhada come to it
Brother slide through it
Sister rise - don't you care?
Come on taste the mountain air
Innocence comes to chance
Mistery, spirit of romance
It'll make you cry
Kali-Yuga's miles away

And the dust will rise miles away
The young girls sigh miles away
And the dust will rise miles away

Don't let me down
Don't let me down

Blossoms cry to it
Chariots take you there
Climbing through mists like marble white stairs
Milliseconds - take a glance
Catch the mystery dance
Never want to lose this chance
Kali-Yuga's miles away

And the dust still rise
And the worlds will rise

Superman v supersoul
Always in control
Superman v supersoul
In control

"Sweat In Bullet"

"Sweat In Bullet"



Airmobility
Dressability
Tranquil
You'll never meet again
Eyes small
Take another fine walk
Expose
Society can gain
Great face
White soul
Great place
Then say goodbye
You take a walk
Another fine walk
Mission
Motion

Rolling and tumbling
Ambition in motion
Rolloing and tumbling
She's sweating bullets
Grow in size
Grow in fame
Grow more
Take more
Uncontrollable
Unworkable

Airmobility

C'est la vie
Inside
Your doing things
Making face
Making moves
You'll never do again
Great face
White soul
Great shame
Poison in your hand
Take a walk
Take another fine walk
Mission
Motion

Rolling and tumbling...

"Swimming Towards The Sun"

"Swimming Towards The Sun"



Razor dragging junkies line,
The bottom of the pool as I,
Swim towards the sun.
Every day ain't Mother's Day,
And every woman ain't your mum,
Sometimes funky isn't fun.
And it would be easy,
To become somebody else.
But at this particular point in time,
I'll hang on to myself.

I... I... I...
I'm swimming towards the sun.
And I... I... I...
I'm not the only one.

People throw Forget-Me-Nots,
The bullets through the flesh they're shot,
A tattoo with a name.
It's harder to forget the hate,
When it's the only thing you generate,
And it's you I'd like to blame.

It would be easy,
To blame somebody else.
But at this particular point in time,
I'd like to take the blame myself.

I... I... I...
I'm swimming towards the sun.
And I... I... I...
I'm not the only one.
And I... I... I...
I'm getting the feeling,
For everyone.

For everyone.
For everyone.
For everyone.

I... I... I...
I'm swimming towards the sun.
And I... I... I...
I'm not the only one.
And I... I... I...
I'm getting the feeling,
For everyone.

For everyone.
For everyone.
For everyone.

"Take A Step Back"

"Take A Step Back"



Go tell it on the mountain
Like it burst forth like a fountain
Try to shake the deep foundations of this land
High up on lover's land
They got hotel rooms so grand
And no one here knows what goes behind closed doors
Take a step back to the middle of the track
Don't you know it's rumoured all around
Says you know it's come to town
Come on and take a step back to the middle of the track
'Cos the rumours are around said you're coming back to town

And with every little lie
You come and never blink an eye
You know you've got yourself all tied up
When you're around
I've got the modern world behind me
Like a needle in a haystack find me
They build you up and then they're going to burn you down

So take a step back to the middle of the track
The rumours all around
Said you're coming back to me
Come on and take a step back to the middle of the track
Says you know it's going upside, you know what's going down

I'm haunted by the wanderer deep inside
Wanted by
Haunted by
I'm haunted by the wanderer that's deep in my soul

Gonna look back to the middle of the track
And you know it's going upside
Le, le, da, le
Telling me
Ah ha, uh hu

Ooh look back to the middle of the track
And you know it's going upside
Telling me...

Don't tell me it's a bad dream
Don't tell me it's not what it seems
Don't tell me pretty soon you know

Gotta stop the roller coaster
Gotta make the most of it
Gonna pull you down

Gotta make the most of it
Better cool it down

"Teardrop"

"Teardrop"


Love, love is a verb
Love is a doing word
Feathers on my breath
Gentle impulsion
Shakes me makes me lighter
Feathers on my breath

Teardrop on the fire
Feathers on my breath

Nine night of matter
Black flowers blossom
Feathers on my breath
Black flowers blossom
Feathers on my breath

Teardrop on the fire
Feathers on my......

Water is my eye
Most faithful mirror
Feathers on my breath
Teardrop on the fire of a confession
Feathers on my breath
Most faithful mirror
Feathers on my breath

Teardrop on the fire
Feathers on my breath

You're stumbling a little [x2]

"Tears Of A Guy"

"Tears Of A Guy"



Lone child in the wild
A bird that's lost at sea
The words that whisper in the silent film
Say 'tomorrows gone for me'
All night lying with your head in my hands
And I search for reasons why
But if I can't get to it - I can't get through it
All that's gone now - all that's...
The tears of a guy
Is all I ever see
The tears of a guy
So many rivers run to me

Wake up dreaming with the sun in my eyes
Hear me screaming, don't ask why
Some strange music from some sweet soul song
Says I can't feel it - I can't try
Time goes - and the fountain still flows
I'll be watching through fortunate eyes
But I can't get cured - I must endure
All that's gone now - all that's...

The tears of a guy
Is all I ever see
The tears of a guy
So many rivers run to me

Drift by the walls - this way
Babylon - in your eyes
Drift by the walls - this way
Babylon - in your eyes

So many rivers run through me
(And we will walk)
Oh little angel
It's all I ever see
(And we will rise)
So many rivers run to me
(And we will walk)
Oh my little angels
In your eyes
So many rivers run through me
In your eyes

"The American"

"The American"



Here comes the shake
The speed-decade wake
I see you wake
Shake
Fit on those overalls
What do you know about this world anyway
I see a man
With an airfield plan
I caught a boy fall out of the sky
What do you know about this world anyway

Ameri-Ameri-Ameri-Ameri-Amer-American
In collective fame
Ameri-Ameri-Ameri-Ameri-Amer-American
Nassau club day
Ameri-Ameri-Ameri-Ameri-Amer-American
Across a curved earth
In collective fame
Ameri-Ameri-Ameri-Ameri-Amer-American
The eventful work-outs
Nassau club days
Here comes the flag
I'm walking in the black

Every time you tough this place
It feels like sin
Every time the handshake starts
The face draws thin
What do you know about this world anyway
Here comes the son
The american son
In here the son shines so bright
Eyes blind
What do you know about this world anyway

Ameri-Ameri-Ameri-Ameri-Amer-American
The eventful workouts
Nassau club days
Here comes the flag
Hand-shake
This world.....

"The Jeweller Part 2"

"The Jeweller Part 2"



It's a long cold distance through the galaxies.
If my eyes were open wide maybe I could see.
If a burned out future seems like all that's in store
I'd tumble to the ground like a fading meteor.

Jeweller to the stars, Jeweller to the stars,
Jeweller to the stars, that's who you are.

That's who you are.
Ever been out walking where the air gets thin,
Or stranded on a planet losing out on oxygen?
Scream out "listen" in a silent place,
Feel that you're falling, calling into space.

Jeweller to the stars, Jeweller to the stars,
Jeweller to the stars, that's who you are.

That's who you are.
That's who you are.

It's a long cold distance through the galaxies.
My eyes were open wide, oh desolately.
If a burned out future seems like all that's in store
I'd tumble to the ground like a fading meteor.

Jeweller to the stars, Jeweller to the stars,
Jeweller to the stars, that's who you are.

That's who you are.
