  1. The Rhythm Of The HeatVer letra

    [X]

    letra de The Rhythm Of The Heat

    Looking out the window

    I see the red dust clear

    High upon the red rock

    Stands the shadow with the spear



    The land here is strong

    Strong beneath my feet

    it feeds on the blood

    it feeds on the heat



    The rhythm is below me

    The rhythm of the heat

    The rhythm is around me

    The rhythm has control

    The rhythm is inside me

    The rhythm has my soul



    The rhythm of the heat

    The rhythm of the heat

    The rhythm of the heat

    The rhythm of the heat



    Drawn across the plainland

    To the place that is higher

    Drawn into the circle

    That dances round the fire

    We spit into our hands

    And breathe across the palms

    Raising them up high

    Help open to the sun



    Self-conscious, uncertain

    I'm showered with the dust

    The spirit enters into me

    And I submit to trust



    Smash the radio

    No outside voices here

    Smash the watch

    Cannot tear the day to shreds

    Smash the camera

    Cannot steal away the spirits

    The rhythm is around me

    The rhythm has control

    The rhythm is inside me

    The rhythm has my soul

  2. I Have The TouchVer letra

    [X]

    letra de I Have The Touch

    The time I like is the rush hour, cos I like the rush

    The pushing of the people - I like it all so much

    Such a mass of motion - do not know where it goes

    I move with the movement and ... I have the touch



    I'm waiting for ignition, I'm looking for a spark

    Any chance collision and I light up in the dark

    There you stand before me, all that fur and all that hair

    Oh, do I dare ... I have the touch



    Wanting contact

    I'm wanting contact

    I'm wanting contact with you

    Shake those hands, shake those hands

    Give me the thing I understand

    Shake those hands, shake those hands

    Shake those hands, shake those hands



    Any social occasion, it's hello, how do you do

    All those introductions, I never miss my cue

    So before a question, so before a doubt

    My hand moves out and ... I have the touch



    Wanting contact

    I'm wanting contact

    I'm wanting contact with you

    Shake those hands, shake those hands

    Give me the thing I understand

    Shake those hands, shake those hands



    Pull my chin, stroke my hair, scratch my nose, hug my knees

    Try drink, food, cigarette, tension will not ease

    I tap my fingers, fold my arms, breathe in deep, cross my legs

    Shrug my shoulders, stretch my back - but nothing seems

    to please



    I need contact

    I need contact

    Nothing seems to please

    I need contact

  3. Not One Of UsVer letra

    [X]

    letra de Not One Of Us

    It's only water
    In a stranger's tear
    Looks are deceptive
    But distinctions are clear
    A foreign body
    And a foreign mind
    Never welcome
    In the land of the blind
    You may look like we do
    Talk like we do
    But you know how it is

    You're not one of us
    Not one of us
    No you're not one of us
    Not one of us
    Not one of us
    No you're not one of us

    There's safety in numbers
    When you learn to divide
    How can we be in
    If there is no outside
    All shades of opinion
    Feed an open mind
    But your values are twisted
    Let us help you unwind
    You may look like we do
    Talk like we do
    -But you know how it is

    You're not one of us
    Not one of us
    No you're not one of us

  4. Family SnapshotVer letra

    [X]

    letra de Family Snapshot

    The streets are lined with camera crews
    Everywhere he goes is news
    Today is different
    Today is not the same
    Today I make the action
    Take snapshot into the light, snapshot into the light
    I'm shooting into the light

    Four miles down the cavalcade moves on
    Driving into the sun
    If I worked it out right
    They won't see me or the gun

    Two miles to go, they're clearing the road
    The cheering has really begun
    I've got my radio
    I can hear what's going on

    I've been waiting for this
    I have been waiting for this
    All you people in TV land
    I will wake up your empty shells
    Peak-time viewing blown in a flash
    As I burn into your memory cells
    'Cos I'm alive

    They're coming 'round the corner with the bikers at the front
    I'm wiping the sweat from my eyes
    -It's a matter of time
    -It's a matter of will
    And the governor's car is not far behind
    He's not the one I've got in mind
    'Cos there he is-the man of the hour, standing in the limousine
    "I don't really hate you
    -I don't care what you do
    We were made for each other
    -Me and you
    I want to be somebody
    -You were like that too
    If you don't get given you learn to take
    And I will take you."

    Holding my breath
    Release the catch
    And I let the bullet fly

    All turned quiet-I have been here before
    Lonely boy hiding behind the front door
    Friends have all gone home
    There's my toy gun on the floor
    Come back Mum and Dad
    You're growing apart
    You know that I'm growing up sad
    I need some attention
    I shoot into the light

  5. D.I.Y.Ver letra

    [X]

    letra de D.I.Y.

    D.I.Y., D.I.Y., D.I.Y., D.I.Y.
    Don't tell me what I will do, 'cos I won't.
    Don't tell me to believe in you, 'cos I don't.
    Be on your guard, better hostile and hard, don't risk affection;
    Like flesh to the bone in the no-go zone,
    You're still looking for the Resurrection.
    Come up to me with your "What did you say?"
    And I'll tell you, straight in the eye:

    D.I.Y., D.I.Y., [etc.]

    Everyone wants to be what he not, what he not.
    Nobody happy with what he got, what he got.
    You function like a dummy with a new ventriloquist,
    Do you say nothing yourself?
    Hanging like a thriller on the final twist,
    Is it true you're getting stuck on the shelf?
    Come up to me with your "What did you say?"
    And I'll tell you, straight in the eye:

    D.I.Y., D.I.Y., [etc.]

    When things get so big, I don't trust them at all,
    You want some control, you've got to keep it small.

    D.I.Y., D.I.Y., [etc.]

  6. The Family And The Fishing NetVer letra

    [X]

    letra de The Family And The Fishing Net

    Suffocated by mirrors, stained by dreams
    Her honey belly pulls the seams
    Curves are still upon the hinge
    Pale zeros tinge the tiger skin

    Moist as grass, ripe and heavy as the night
    The sponge is full, well out of sight
    All around the conversations
    Icing on the warm flesh cake

    Light creeps through her secret tunnels
    Sucked into the open spaces
    Burning out in sudden flashes
    Draining blood from well-fed faces

    Desires form in subtle whispers
    Flex the muscles in denial
    Up and down its pristine cage
    So the music, so the trial

    Vows of sacrifice, headless chickens
    Dance in circles, they the blessed
    Man and wife, undressed by all
    Their grafted trunks in heat possessed

    Even as the soft skins tingle
    They mingle with the homeless mother
    Who loves the day but lives another
    That once was hers

    The worried father, long lost lover
    Brushes ashes with his broom
    Rehearses jokes to fly and hover
    Bursting over the bride and groom

    And the talk goes on

    Memories crash on tireless waves
    The lifeguards whom the winter saves

    Silence falls the guillotine
    All the doors are shut
    Nervous hands grip tight the knife
    In the darkness, till the cake is cut
    Passed around, in little pieces
    The body and the flesh
    The family and the fishing-net
    And another in the mesh

    The body and the flesh

  7. IntruderVer letra

    [X]

    letra de Intruder

    I know something about opening windows and doors

    I know how to move quietly to creep across creaky wooden floors

    I know where to find precious things in all your cupboards and drawers

    Slipping the clippers

    Slipping the clippers through the telephone wires

    The sense of isolation inspires

    Inspires me

    I like to feel the suspense when I'm certain you know I am there

    I like you lying awake, your bated breath charging the air

    I like the touch and the smell of all the pretty dresses you wear

    Intruders happy in the dark

    Intruder come

    Intruder come and leave his mark, leave his mark

  8. I Go Swimming

Disco 2

  1. San JacintoVer letra

    [X]

    letra de San Jacinto

    Thick cloud - steam rising - hissing stone on sweat lodge fire

    Around me - buffalo robe - sage in bundle - rub on skin

    Outside - cold air - stand, wait for rising sun

    Red paint - eagle feathers - coyote calling - it has begun

    Something moving in - I taste it in my mouth and in my heart

    It feels like dying - slow - letting go of life



    Medicine man lead me up through town - Indian ground - so far down

    Cut up land - each house - a pool - kids wearing water wings - drink in cool

    Follow dry river bed - watch Scout and Guides make pow-wow signs

    Past Geronimo's disco - Sit 'n' Bull steakhouse - white men dream

    A rattle in the old man's sack - look at mountain top - keep climbing up

    Way above us the desert snow - white wind blow



    I hold the line - the line of strength that pulls me through the fear

    San Jacinto - I hold the line

    San Jacinto - the poison bite and darkness take my sight - I hold the line

    And the tears roll down my swollen cheek - think I'm losing it - getting weaker

    I hold the line - I hold the line

    San Jacinto - yellow eagle flies down from the sun - from the sun



    We will walk - on the land

    We will breathe - of the air

    We will drink - from the stream

    We will live - hold the line

  2. Solsbury HillVer letra

    [X]

    letra de Solsbury Hill

    Climbing up on Solsbury Hill
    I could see the city light
    Wind was blowing, time stood still
    Eagle flew out of the night
    He was something to observe
    Came in close, I heard a voice
    Standing stretching every nerve
    Had to listen had no choice
    I did not believe the information
    (I) just had to trust imagination
    My heart going boom boom boom
    "Son," he said "Grab your things,
    I've come to take you home."

    To keep in silence I resigned
    My friends would think I was a nut
    Turning water into wine
    Open doors would soon be shut
    So I went from day to day
    Tho' my life was in a rut
    "Till I thought of what I'd say
    Which connection I should cut
    I was feeling part of the scenery
    I walked right out of the machinery
    My heart going boom boom boom
    "Hey" he said "Grab your things
    I've come to take you home."
    (Back home.)

    When illusion spin her net
    I'm never where I want to be
    And liberty she pirouette
    When I think that I am free
    Watched by empty silhouettes
    Who close their eyes but still can see
    No one taught them etiquette
    I will show another me
    Today I don't need a replacement
    I'll tell them what the smile on my face meant
    My heart going boom boom boom
    "Hey" I said "You can keep my things,
    they've come to take me home."

    [X]

    letra de Shock The Monkey

    Cover me when I run

    Cover me through the fire

    Something knocked me out ' the trees

    Now I'm on my knees

    Cover me, darling please

    Monkey, monkey, monkey

    Don't you know you're going to shock the monkey



    Fox the fox

    Rat on the rat

    You can ape the ape

    There is one thing you must be sure of

    I can't take any more

    Darling, don't you monkey with the monkey

    Monkey, monkey, monkey

    Don't you know you're going to shock the monkey

    Monkey, Don't like it but I guess I'm learning

    Shock! Shock! Shock! - watch the monkey get hurt, monkey



    Monkey, Wheels keep turning

    Monkey, Something's burning

    Monkey, Don't like it but I guess I'm learning

    Shock! Shock! Shock! - watch the monkey get hurt, monkey

    Monkey, Ground beneath me shake

    Monkey, And the news is breaking

  6. HumdrumVer letra

    [X]

    letra de Humdrum

    I saw the man at J.F.K

    He took your ticket yesterday

    In the humdrum

    In the humdrum



    I ride tandem with a random

    Things don't run the way I planned them

    In the humdrum

    In the humdrum



    Hey Valentina, do you want me to beg?

    You got me cooking

    I'm a hard boiled egg

    In the humdrum



    Empty my mind

    I find it hard to cope

    Listen to my heart

    Don't need no stethoscope



    It seems to me that television

    She come to cut me a deep incision

    In the humdrum

    In the humdrum



    Empty my mind

    I find it hard to cope

    Listen to my heart

    Don't need no stethoscope



    Out of woman comes the man

    Spend the rest of his life getting back where he can

    As a bow, so a dove

    As below, so above

    From the black hole

    Come the tadpole

    With the dark soul

    In coal she burn, she burn





    As I drove into the sun

    Didn't dare look where I had begun

    Lost among echoes of things not there

    Watching the sound forming shapes in the air

    From the white star

    Came the bright scar

    Our amobea

    My little liebe schoen

  7. On The AirVer letra

    [X]

    letra de On The Air

    Built in the belly of junk by the river, my cabin stands;

    Made from the trash I dug off the heap with my own bare hands.

    Every night I'm back at the shack, I'm sure no one is there,

    I'm putting the aerial up, so I can go out on the air...



    On the air

    On the air

    On the air



    Every morning I'm out at dawn with the dwarfs and tramps

    For a silent communion lit from above by the sodium lamps.

    Everyone I meet on the street acts as if I wasn't there,

    But they're all going to know who I am, 'cos I can go out on the air.



    [Chorus] (On the air...)



    Leaving the car down the leafy lane,

    Turning out Tarzan for my Jungle Jane.

    Anyone at all, from Captain Zero

    And his band of superheroes standing by on call.

    Oh it's not easy,

    No it's not easy making real friends...



    Don't give me your steak-reared milkboys, milkboys,

    Half alive on empty white noise, white noise,

    I've got power, I'm proud to be loud, my signal goes out clear,

    I want everybody to know that Mozo is here!



    [Chorus]

  8. BikoVer letra

    [X]

    letra de Biko

    September '77
    Port Elizabeth weather fine
    It was business as usual
    In police room 619
    Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko
    Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko
    Yihla Moja, Yihla Moja
    -The man is dead

    When I try to sleep at night
    I can only dream in red
    The outside world is black and white
    With only one colour dead
    Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko
    Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko
    Yihla Moja, Yihla Moja
    -The man is dead

    You can blow out a candle
    But you can't blow out a fire
    Once the flames begin to catch
    The wind will blow it higher
    Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko
    Yihla Moja, Yihla Moja
    -The man is dead

    And the eyes of the world are
    watching now
    watching now
