"Frozen And Distant"

"Frozen And Distant"



We are seething
All those pretty pretty months were so deceiving
We are glowing
All those lucky lucky stars we've been blowing
The hammer falls and it's going, going, gone
And all the pulse in this reflection

We are freezing
And you thought that all that cold war stuff was teasing
The weather's strange so we stay in bed
Prophet of doom went straight to your head

Frozen and distant, release the cold (ice cannot see)
Here in an instant, could be next week (eyes cannot see)
Frozen and distant relic

We say one day
This ice will all melt down but we'll be washed away
Funny how it seems important here and now
Try to leave your mark upon this world somehow

We are boiling
This temporary earth that is recoiling
The weather's changed and it's scratch ahead
Give us today and that daily bread

Frozen and distant, really sublime (ice cannot see)
Here in an instant, could be next time (eyes cannot see)
Frozen and distant relic

"Globe Spinning"

"Globe Spinning"



Long and lonely
Long and lonely song
Only longed twice in a row
When you fall in a group
Then out you go

(Saved the last star, falling far away
Saved the last star, falling far away
Saved the last star, falling far away)

It's almost never tomorrow
Time has left no footprint in these sands
No hint of passing in these lands
When there's no light to follow

Long and lonely
Long and lonely song
Only longed twice in a row
When you fall in a group
Then out you go

The power to stop is beholding
You cowl but I think withholding from love
After the pain has dropped
After the rain

(Saved the last star, falling far away
Saved the last star, falling far away
Saved the last star, falling far away
Saved the last star, falling far away)

We're spending more than we borrow
Money has no meaning in the hand
It's just columns buried in the ground
Scheme of things so heavily hollow

Long and lonely
Long and lonely song
Only longed twice in a row
When you fall in a group
Then out you go

The coward has charges misleading
He barges in disbelieving no more
Back but no emptier
Covered in dirt

Out you go, out you go, out you go
Falling far away
Out you go, out you go, out you go
Falling far away
Falling far away

"Glow Worm"

"Glow Worm"



You're so easy to love
You're so easy to adore
You're easy to want
I always want more
The way you talk
It puts me in a dream
Makes me feel like the cat that had the cream

You're so easy to love
You're easy to be with
I'm telling everybody
That you must be a gift
A gift from higher planes
As a broken soul below
I always wanna be living in your glow

You're so easy to love
You're so easy just to like
And don't change a thing
'Cause everything's just right
You fly like a swan
You sing like a bird
I wanna tell you everything but I can't find the words

You're so easy to love
You're so lovely just to touch
So beautiful to see
I wanna see you so much
Alone in your head
I wonder where you roam
It doesn't really matter if you always come home

You're so easy to love
So nice just to kiss
You're standing in the light
I'm bathing in the bliss
Beautiful as hell
Wonderful as well
Don't you know I'm buying whatever you can sell

You're so easy to love
So easy to be 'round
Asleep so sweet
But with your tiny sleeping sounds
I hold you in my arms
I see you in my mind
I need you every day
I need you every night

You're so easy to love
You're so easy to admire
You've got me by the heart
If anyone inquires
You're soft and you're strong
You're cool and you're warm
You're delicate, intricate, triumph over form

You're so easy to love
You're so crucial to my life
I want you to know
That everything's alright
The way that you love
It's pure and it's strong
If you stay around nothing can go wrong

"Grind"

"Grind"



The whine in your hand is worth two at the bar
And everybody knows what you've been drinking
Disgraceful sky flecked with a nightmare of stars
And everybody knows how you've been syncing

Long distance century buzzes and fades
I wonder why you've not resigned
Previews, processions and parades
You've got to grind, grind it out
You've got to grind, grind it out

Line up the arrows, push off the top
This can cause sustain forever
And once it's started up, it cannot be stopped
At least it's holding us together

Long distance century buzzes and fades
An automatic charge on your mind
The glittering minutes, jangled decades
We've got to grind, grind it out
We've got to grind, grind it out

Vortex appears, unleashed by the crash
A moment marred by hesitation
Bedazzled surgeon chases the gash
And we don't need that operation

Long distance century buzzes and fades
Elysian Fields not far behind
Find me a witness amongst these shades
They've got to grind, grind it out
They've got to grind, grind it out

Long distance century buzzes and fades
I hope the deaf can lead the blind
Lift me up into those whirling blades
I've got to grind, grind it out
You got to grind, grind it out
We've got to grind, grind it out
We've got to grind, grind it out

"Gypsy Stomp"

"Gypsy Stomp"



According to my calculations
It ought to be around here somewhere
Despite all human limitation
My estimation is it's out there

And don't get cute with me
It's nothing new to me

Here is the object
Here is the logic
This is the subject
Is that what you wanted?

Listen to me
I'll do what you want

Never mind your reputation
Just get in fast and get out faster
What we need is concentration
Or the creation of disaster

And don't get close to me
It ain't necessary

This is the limit
This is the finish
This is the limit
The modules diminish

Listen to me
I'll do what you want

Here is the object
Here is the logic
This is the subject
Is that what you wanted?

Postpone all the celebration
Get on quick and get off quicker
Listen for your information
This situation, we must not bicker

Don't put the blame on me
It's the same for me

This is the limit
This is the finish
This is the limit
The modules diminish

Listen to me
I'll do what you want

Here is the object
Here is the logic
Here is the subject
Is that what you wanted?

According to my calculations
It ought to be around here somewhere...

"Happenstance"

"Happenstance"



When the distant charge of love is felt
And the fruit is heavy on the vine
Rivers rushing as the snow it melts
I should take some time
Really make you mine

Happenstance
Such a charmer

Like an extinguished star
You're gone yet still remain
And you've taken it so far
Return to outer space

If I lay me beside you
Your golden hair frozen

Happenstance
Such a charmer

Close your eyes in the dark
And open up a door
You feel the energy arc
You're not here anymore

When the honeyed days of love return
And the king is drunk upon his throne
City's empty and the crystal burnt
I should take some space
Be with you some place

When the hopeless nights of love have gone
And the spirits are still within the trees
And we're running back to Albion
I should take some chance
Given happenstance

Happenstance
Such a charmer

"Heading South"

"Heading South"



The wind in the wireless
Smell of the neon
Rustle our papers
Starlight broke down

Alone in the backseats
Rain on the windshield
Face in the rain drops
Mist rolling in

We're heading south
We're heading south again
We're heading south
Heading south again

Lightning is frozen
TV's gone haywire
The traffic on Broadway
The sound of the moon

Golden impression
This certain explosion
The price of a ticket
Beating a drum

We're heading south
Heading south again
We're heading south
Heading south again

Romeo vacuum
Cyrillic adaption
Smooth application
Tomorrow vision

Ending abruptly
I stop for a moment
Possible outcome
Rational thought

We're heading south
We're heading south again
We're heading south
Heading south again

"Hiroshima Mon Amour"
(originally by Ultravox)

"Hiroshima Mon Amour"
(originally by Ultravox)



Somehow we drifted off too far
Communicate like distant stars
Splintered voices down the phone
The sunlit dust, the smell of roses drifts, oh no
Someone waits behind the door
Hiroshima mon amour

Riding inter-city trains
Dressed in European grey
Riding out to echo beach
A million memories in the trees and sands, oh no
How can I ever let them go?
Hiroshima mon amour

Deep beneath the autumn lake
Where only echoes penetrate
Walk through polaroids of the past
Futures fused like shattered glass, the suns so low
Turns our silhouettes to gold
Hiroshima mon amour

"Hitspacebar"



The phone is ringing
The phone is ringing

The phone is ringing
The wires are bare
Avarice lime
You're hardly there
Your engines searching
The plonk is sour
The pizza's cold in wee small hour

What will it take, get you to wake up
Avarice lime
Shake it up
Hit space bar headache

The lights are on
The neighbour's place
You see her back
You see his face
You see the knife
You see the tear
You feel the shot
You're really there

What will it take to get you to wake up
Avarice lime
Shake it up
Hit space bar headache
