- On The Air
Letra
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] - Modern Love
Letra
Hey, I'm feeling so dirty, you're looking so clean All you can give is a spin in your washing machine I fly off to Rome to my prima bella She leaves me in the rain with telescopic umbrella Ooh the pain - Modern love can be a strain [repeated] I trusted my Venus was untouched in her shell But the pearls in her oyster were tacky as hell For Lady Godiva I came incognito But her driver had stolen her red hot magneto Ooh the pain - Modern love can be a strain [repeated] I don't know why they leave me in the lurch To carry on the search It's driving me up the wall Pity when I have so much passion Romance is out of fashion Can't handle modern love at all So I worship Diana by the light of the moon When I pull out my pipe she screams out of tune In Paris my heart sinks when I see the Mona Lisa She gives me the wink, then she shows me the freezer Ooh the pain - Modern love can be a strain [repeat till fade] - Indigo
Letra
It's too late, this model's out of date Got every spare part, but there ain't much heart inside here Not like the start, I was good at the art of survival I've always tried to keep my troubles deep inside Where I can hide them, now I'm open wide When it ends, again I'll see my friends They'll give me a lift, I've been running adrift, so easy Shifting the gear, I've got nothing to fear from a showdown I'll go down quiet And the kids downstairs making a hell of a din I'm all alone, getting a quote for the wages of sin Beyond the indigo, indigo Where the chilly winds, winds will blow My time is running low Going to cross the dark, dark river Going to see my good life-giver Better cover my yellow liver All right, I'm giving up the fight I didn't know when I'd be a stranger again in my own land The days are okay, but oh, how I hate these long nights You understand? Darling, please just hold my hand You feel so warm, in the eye of the storm I'm going away, I'm going away, I'm going away See you again someday Darling, I'm going away Feel like I'm going away, this time I'm going away - Solsbury Hill
Letra
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." - Perspective
Letra
I need perspective, 'cos I'm facing the wall. I need perspective, 'cos I'm not that tall. I need perspective, heard the trumpet call. Don't trust my eyes, want to know where things fall. I need perspective, party time for the newly wed. I need perspective, colors ran as the images bled. I need perspective, like confetti on the flower bed. Don't trust my eyes, priest crying he's got fire in his head. [Chorus:] Oh Gaia, if that's your name, Treat you like dirt, but I don't want to blame. Oh Gaia, the wind heals the fire and blows the ash away. I need perspective, sitting in a long, long hall. I need perspective, staring at the white, white wall. I need perspective, waiting for the phone to call. Don't trust my eyes, there's one thing I've got to tell you all. I need perspective, to see through red, red skies. I need perspective, to carry merchandise. I need perspective, I don't trust my eyes. [Chorus] I used to be an industrial giant, Sitting in a garden full of chemical plants. Trying very hard to get you off my mind. Acting like any man, taking you for all I can, Just the same, the same as all my kind, so blind. I need perspective. - Waiting For The Big One
Letra
The wine's all drunk and so am I Here with the hoi-poloi, don't ask me why We're celebratin' anticipatin'; end of the year everybody come, everybody here - well more or less Some already in a mess I guess they're waiting for the big one. Wonder why I'm cold. How did I get this far? Had no money, had no car I pray the snow goes, be bad if it settles 'cos I follow my nose and the dried up rose petals - like the man says, Sure hope Moses knows his roses Or we'll all be waiting for the big one. Once I was the credit to my credit card spent what I hadn't got, (it) wasn't hard No trust in judgement no trust in money Someday I'll find myself like a bee finding honey But in the meantime I'm gonna have me some fun Waiting for the big one. One too many, where ego I go too Looking for the real thing It don't come from what I do No real communication moves out of my face I'm beginning to think I'm just out of place Won't get in too deep, I want to get some sleep To be ready for the big one To be ready for the big one - Animal Magic
Letra
What did you mean when you opened your mouth and let all our secrets out? You told him what I was about, my cover was completely blown. I tell you darling, I've been watching the war films And I've got a few ideas of my own, 'cos after the film had ended, the call for recruits was shown, And I'll be joining the professionals, I want to be a man. With all that animal magic I'll do anything you can. I'm joining the professionals 'cos I want to be a man, Look! I wave my wand, watch the rabbit disappear... Join the professionals and learn to fight! I bet the two of you still laugh at me for being timid as a lamb; That may be the way I look, but it's no longer what I am. I've been across to Northern Ireland, And I came home with a new kind of charge: I learned how to hunt in the night, I learned about camouflage. I've been joining the professionals, and now that I'm a man With all that animal magic I'll match anything you can. I'm joining the professionals, this time I understand, Look! I wave my wand, watch the rabbit disappear... Join the professionals and learn to fight! - Humdrum
Letra
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 - D.I.Y.
Letra
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.] - Mother Of Violence
Letra
Walking the street with her naked feet, So full of rhythm but I can't find the beat. Snapping her heels, clicking her toes, Everybody knows just where she goes. Fear, Fear, she's the mother of Violence, Making me tense to watch the way she breed. Fear, she's the mother of Violence, You know self-defense is all you need. It's getting hard to breathe, It's getting so hard to believe, To believe in anything at all. Mouth all dry, eyes bloodshot, Data stored on a microdot. Kicking the cloud with my moccasin shoes, TV dinner, TV news. Fear, Fear, she's the mother of Violence, Don't make any sense to watch the way she breed. Fear, she's the mother of Violence, Making me tense to watch the way she feed. The only way you know she's there Is the subtle flavor in the air. Getting hard to breathe, Getting hard to believe in anything at all But Fear. - Slowburn
Letra
We're character actors from the Tower of Babel Bewildered, burned out hardly able To sit astride the high wire cable It's hard to balance, a little unstable. Through broken eyes and contact lenses (I) Watched you draw your future tenses See kisses of flame blow out of your lips You're back telling me your Apocalypse. Don't get me wrong, I'll be strong When the slowburn sunset come along You've gotta stay the night I gotta think that you might. We've tried a handful of bills and a handful of pills We've tried making movies from a volume of stills (But) the words fell like hailstones, bouncing at our feet, Covering our feelings with a frozen sheet. A chance to move, I take a shot I get cold - you get hot We look outside, lyin' awake See birds breaking surface on a silent lake. But don't get me wrong, I'll be strong When I'm back on the Isle of Avalon Dont get me wrong, I'll be strong When the slow burn sunset come along You've got to stay the night I've got to think that you might. Don't try (to) make it easy, it'll cut you down to size Darlin' we've got to trust in something We're shooting down our skies shooting down (shooting down) our skies (shooting down our ...) - Exposure
Letra
Exposure Space is what I need, it's what I feed on. Exposure Out in the open... - Moribund The Burgermeister
Letra
Caught in the chaos in the market square I don't know what, I don't know why, but something's wrong down there Their bodies twistin' and turnin' in a thousand ways The eyes all rollin' round and round into a distant gaze Ah, look at that crowd! Some are jumping up in the air - say "We're drowning in a torrent of blood!" Others going down on their knees, seen a saviour coming out of the mud Oh Mother! It's eating out my soul Destroying law and order, I'm gonna lose control What can I do to stop this plague, spread by sight alone Just a glimpse and then a quiver, then they shiver to the bone Ah, look at them go! Bunderschaft, you are going daft? Better seal off the castle grounds "This is Moribund, the Burgermeister, I'm gonna keep this monster down, Somebody sent the subversive element; going to chase it out of down." No-one will tell what all this is about But I will find out. (I will find out. I will find out.) This thing's really outrageous, I tell you on the level It's really so contagious must be the work of the devil You better go now, pick up the pipers, tell them to play Seems the music keeps them quiet, there is no other way. Ah, close the doors! "We've tried potions and waxen dolls, but none of us could find any cures," Mother please, is it just a disease, that has them breaking all my laws, Check if you can disconnect the effect and I'll go after the cause No-one will tell what this is all about But I will find out I will. - Flotsam And Jetsam
Letra
Doing nothing, stuck in the mud, just pumping the blood. The water level's getting low, something ugly's going to show. If only I could touch you, I guess you'd be alarmed. If only I could touch you, I don't mean you no harm. If only I could touch you, like the wind can touch the sail, If only I could touch you, darling, now that words have failed. Oh, flotsam still afloat, Oh, jetsam thrown out of the boat. Oh love, my love, nothing here is what it seems. We both know it; Christ, you show it... Oh, oh my love. - Here Comes The Flood
Letra
When the night shows the signals grow on radios All the strange things they come and go, as early warnings Stranded starfish have no place to hide still waiting for the swollen Easter tide There's no point in direction we cannot even choose a side. I took the old track the hollow shoulder, across the waters On the tall cliffs they were getting older, sons and daughters The jaded underworld was riding high Waves of steel hurled metal at the sky and as the nail sunk in the cloud, the rain was warm and soaked the crowd. Lord, here comes the flood We'll say goodbye to flesh and blood If again the seas are silent in any still alive It'll be those who gave their island to survive Drink up, dreamers, you're running dry. When the flood calls You have no home, you have no walls In the thunder crash You're a thousand minds, within a flash Don't be afraid to cry at what you see The actors gone, there's only you and me And if we break before the dawn, they'll use up what we used to be. Lord, here comes the flood We'll say goodbye to flesh and blood If again the seas are silent in any still alive It'll be those who gave their island to survive Drink up, dreamers, you're running dry. [Repeat chorus once]
