"Some Of Them"

"Some Of Them"


(Some of them) some of them are changing day to day
(Some of them) some of them flicker then they fade
(Some of them) some of them are triggered off by any crazy thing

(Some of them) some of them are all that's left
(Some of them) some of them are just dead regrets
(Some of them) some of them are shining out through everything I see

Some of them
Some of them
Some of them

(Some of them) some of them are brittle, some are sad
(Some of them) some of them are aching, some are glad
(Some of them) some of them are gone so long they're hard to recognize

Stand close to the long parade
Watch them passing by in their million ways
Walk on through the evergreens
Pass from scene to scene through all these yesterdays

(Some of them) some of them are friends just as they were
(Some of them) some of them are gentle, some can fret
(Some of them) some of them are crowding closer every passing year

(Some of them) some of them live in photographs
(Some of them) some of them still give me a laugh
(Some of them) some of them I've out-absorbed as they're changing me

Some of them
Some of them
Some of them

"Someone Else's Clothes"

"Someone Else's Clothes"


Check out some memories I don't recognize
Another country and another life
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh

I find I'm strolling on a distant shore
To meet someone I've never seen before
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh

Oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh

[Chorus:]
I'm wearing someone else's clothes again
Walking in the streets I know again
Back in the old, familiar glow again
I'm wearing someone else's clothes

Painting quiet pictures in my ear
We're driving past without a wish to steer
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh

Driving underneath the deep blue sea
I'm always surfacing in summer sheets
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh

Oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh

[Chorus]

[Chorus]

Transfer me into a Saturday crowd
Or merge me back into a factory town
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh

I'm opened up for such a splendid move
I'm making love with someone, I don't know who
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh

Oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh

[Chorus]

"Stranger Within"

"Stranger Within"


Light comes through a crack in the door
I tape up the windows once more
Tight like a cold hand of steel
Don't fear the stranger within

Hands that petrify in the air
Eyes catching things never there
Sweet tension caught on my breath
Don't fear the stranger within

Watch every shape that escapes
Scared to make the final mistake
Speak to hear the sound of your voice
Don't fear the stranger within

Sit in the corner with your back to the wall
Pray to your God with your head in your hands
Your mask of fear is shrinking fast
It's closing in more amour
You stand on borrowed time, your sweating palms and chilling brow
Your wide-eyed panic makes you laugh, you cry and laugh
Freeze until the noise decays, a shuffle from behind a door
Your throat is tight, it makes you choke and smoke and choke
Eyes will grow accustomed to the dark, a stifled scream that won't come out
There's nothing more to fear from the stranger within

Don't fear the stranger within
I feel the stranger within
I see the stranger within
Don't know the stranger within
I am the stranger within
I am the stranger within

"Sweet Surrender"

"Sweet Surrender"


Sweet sweet sweet surrender
Sweet sweet sweet surrender
Sweet sweet sweet surrender
Sweet sweet sweet surrender
Searching the institution
Chasing the grand illusion
All the way, away
Turn every stone to find it
Filling my empty mind
It falls away, away

Beats on my devotions
Like a hammer hits a nail
With your sweet surrender
Fill up my emotions
Like a wind fills out a sail
With your sweet surrender

Beats on my devotions
Like a hammer hits a nail
With your sweet surrender
Fill up my emotions
Like a wind fills out a sail
With your sweet surrender

Finding the key to open
A heart that was never broken
With a smile, a smile
Look for whoever sold me
On a feeling nobody told me
Could be wild, so wild

Sweet sweet sweet surrender
Sweet sweet sweet surrender
Sweet sweet sweet surrender
Sweet sweet sweet surrender
Searching the institution
Chasing the grand illusion
All the way, away
Turn every stone to find it
Filling my empty mind
It falls away, away

Beats on my devotions
Like a hammer hits a nail
With your sweet surrender
Fill up my emotions
Like a wind fills out a sail
With your sweet surrender

Beats on my devotions
Like a hammer hits a nail
With your sweet surrender
Fill up my emotions
Like a wind fills out a sail
With your sweet surrender

Beat on my devotions
Like a hammer hits a nail
It's a sweet surrender

Sweet sweet sweet surrender
Sweet sweet sweet surrender

Beat on my devotions
Like a hammer hits a nail
It's a sweet surrender

Sweet sweet sweet surrender
Sweet sweet sweet surrender

Beat on my devotions
Like a hammer hits a nail
It's a sweet surrender

Sweet sweet sweet surrender
Sweet sweet sweet surrender

"Systems Of Love"

"Systems Of Love"


When everyone else is uncertain
And walls are closing in
There's no-one to hear you
No-one at all
Don't tell me what to believe in
Wake up and start again
Be part of the vision
Be part of it all
Don't you give me compassion
Just give me it all

[Chorus:]
Are you strong enough?
Can you stand above?
This is survival
Not systems of love
Don't you give up
It's never enough
Live for survival
Not systems of love

One way conversation
Won't you let me in
Don't let indecision
Ruin it all
Inside information
What a fool I've been
I spend every moment
Regretting it all
Just reliving the moment
That I heard the call

[Chorus]

Be my disciple
All I ask is put your faith in me
There's a better way, you know it
Don't be afraid of divine technology

[Chorus]

"The Closer I Get To You"

"The Closer I Get To You"


My obsession
Your desire
Come let me lead you
To the fire
Show some mercy
My pounding heart
Can't take much more of this
You've got play your part

Bodies yearning
Is this for real?
Words cannot express the way I really feel
Passion burning
You ignite the flame
We touch, we come alive
We'll never be the same again

[Chorus:]
The closer I get to you
The more I reveal is true
And something inside of me
Burns my reality

Use your imagination
Exorcise
See your future
Through my eyes
No salvation
Nowhere to hide
We're one dimension
We're one inside

Is this perfection
Taken to extreme?
We're drowning in a sea of possibilities
Pure emotion
You can't conceal
We touch, we come alive
We'll know that this time it's for real

[Chorus]

Bodies yearning
Is this for real?
Words cannot express the way I really feel
Passion burning
You ignite the flame
We touch, we come alive
We'll never be the same again

[Chorus]

"The Frozen Ones"

"The Frozen Ones"


Marching across our own screens
Our faces form all our needs
The future's not returning
All bridges built for burning
How can there be anything wrong?
Aren't we the frozen ones?

One day I'll just erase the tape, wave goodbye, and fade away
Get lost in the frost again
Clean the ashes of my face at the bottom of your suitcase
Find a sunset, turn away
How can there by anything wrong?
Aren't we the frozen ones?
The frozen ones
The frozen ones

We walk around inside each other visiting the empty rooms
Put me on, I'll put you on too
You knew I'd have to follow you because you saw I'm hollow too
But it's so nice being I too
How can there by anything wrong?
Aren't we the frozen ones?
The frozen ones
The frozen ones

[Chorus:]
We're nowhere
We don't care who led us here
No-one will care when we're gone

The frozen ones
The frozen ones

Too many pictures on my screen and all of them are screaming at me
Thought I had this insulation
The only way to stop the flood whenever feelings get too real
Is to cut the information
How can there be anything wrong?
Aren't we the frozen ones?
The frozen ones
The frozen ones

[Chorus]

The frozen ones

[Repeat and fade]

"The Great Outdoors"

"The Great Outdoors"


You stand out of the crowd
You don't follow the shadows
You've given me solid ground
You rise above
All that surrounds you
And I can't believe what I've found

[Chorus:]
And I am falling through the hands of time
As I discover within my mind
That I, if I can leave the hurt behind
Then what's mine is yours
Save the great outdoors for another time

You've opened my eyes
To a world of intentions
And I've just begin to realise
That so many times
Too many to mention
We let the moment pass us by

[Chorus]

And through all this confusion
We create our own kind
Don't let destiny leave you behind

[Chorus]

"The Lonely Hunter"

"The Lonely Hunter"


Lonely hunter
Lonely hunter
Lonely hunter
Lonely hunter

I'm a lonely hunter, a hungry ghost
When you call a passion, you must pay the host

Look upon me as I thunder
I wonder if you wonder
How it feels to be
The lonely hunter?

Lonely hunter
Lonely hunter
Lonely hunter

The wind blows clouds across my cheek
My collar's up and my coat is sleek

Look upon me as I plunder
I wonder if you wonder
How it feels to be
The lonely hunter?

Lonely hunter
Lonely hunter
Lonely hunter

Achtung!

Lonely hunter
Lonely hunter
Lonely hunter
Lonely hunter

Lonely hunter
Lonely hunter
Lonely hunter
Lonely hunter

Lonely hunter
Lonely hunter
Lonely hunter
Lonely hunter

"The Man Who Dies Every Day"

"The Man Who Dies Every Day"


Someone stood beside me for a moment in the rain
A silhouette, a cigarette, and a gesture of disdain
I felt a dark door open, saw a sudden ghost come through
A spark leapt from my fingertip and I knew it must be you

Ain't you the man who dies every day?
You're the man who dies every day
You're the man

We never saw you walk in, we never saw you leave
You flick the ashes off a lap on everybody's sleeve
You always play that funny pack of cards without an ace
And every street you ever walked is mapped out on your face

'Cause you're the man who dies every day
You're the man who dies every day
You're the man

You always kept a sunset behind your lonely shoulder
You never showed on photographs and you never grew much older
You flicker like a shaky shadow, moving like a thief
You never drop your facade and you never seek relief

'Cause you're the man who dies every day
You're the man who dies every day
You're the man who dies every day
You're the man who dies every day
You're the man
