[Greywind]

In a lifetime
Made of memories
I believe
In destiny
Every moment returns again in time
When I've got the future on my mind
Know that you'll be the only one

 

Meet me halfway
Across the sky
Out where the world belongs
To only you and I

 

Meet me halfway
Across the sky
Make this a new beginning of another life.

 

In a lifetime
There is only love
Reaching for the lonely one
We are stronger when we are given love
When we put emotions on the line
Know that we are the timeless ones

 

Meet me halfway
Across the sky
Out where the world belongs
To only you and I

 

Meet me halfway
Across the sky
Make this a new beginning of another life.

[Greywind]

One day you may find true love that will last forever and ever
'Till then you'll spend a lifetime wishing one together
You never thought she'd say goodbye
And you'll never understand the reasons why

 

Heart of mine
How will you keep from dying
Stop reminiscing who is she kissing?
Heart of mine
Oh what's the use in trying
No one can mend you now

 

Love plays cruel games
You can't believe she's found another lover
"Does she miss me?"
Sometimes you just can't help but wonder
No, you can't hold the hands of time
And you'll always be the one she left behind

 

Heart of mine, how will you keep from dying stop reminiscing
Who is she kissing heart of mine,
Oh what's the use in trying
No one can mend you now

 

And you'll never understand the reasons why
Heart of mine, how will you keep from dying stop reminiscing
Who is she kissing heart of mine,
Oh, what's the use in trying
No one can mend you now
Oh, heart of mine heart of mine
Heart of mine

[Greywind]

Memories
Light the corners of my mind
Misty watercolor memories
Of the way we were

 

Scattered pictures
Of the smiles we left behind
Smiles we gave to one another
For the way we were

 

Can it be that it was all so simple then?
Or has time re-written every line?
If we had the chance to do it all again
Tell me, would we?
Could we?

 

Memories
May be beautiful and yet
What's too painful to remember
We simply to choose to forget

 

So it's the laughter
We will remember
Whenever we remember
The way we were
The way we were

[Greywind]

Operator, O could ya help me place this call?
See, the number on the matchbook is old and faded
She's living in L.A.
With my best old ex-friend, Ray
Guy, she said she knew well and sometimes hated

 

But isn't that the way they say it goes?
Well, let's forget all that
And give me the number if you can find it
So I can call just to tell 'em I'm fine
And to show
I've overcome the blow
I've learned to take it well
I only wish my words could just convince myself
That it just wasn't real
But that's not the way it feels

 

Operator, O could ya help me place this call?
'Cause I can't read the number that you just gave me
There's something in my eyes
You know it happens every time
I think about a love that I thought would save me

 

But isn't that the way they say it goes?
Well, let's forget all that
And give me the number if you can find it
So I can call just to tell 'em I'm fine
And to show
I've overcome the blow
I've learned to take it well
I only wish my words could just convince myself
That it just wasn't real
But that's not the way it feels
No, no, no, no
That's not the way it feels

 

Operator, O let's forget about this call
There's no one there I really wanted to talk to
Thank you for your time
Ah, you've been so much more than kind
You can keep the dime

 

But isn't that the way they say it goes?
Well, let's forget all that
And give me the number if you can find it
So I can call just to tell 'em I'm fine
And to show
I've overcome the blow
I've learned to take it well
I only wish my words could just convince myself
That it just wasn't real
But that's not the way it feels

Doo doo doo-doo doo doo-doo doo
Doo doo doo-doo doo doo-doo doo
Doo doo doo-doo doo doo-doo doo

You've got your mother in a whirl
She's not sure if you're a boy or a girl
Hey, babe, your hair's alright
Hey, babe, let's go out tonight
You like me and I like it all
We like dancing and we look divine
You love bands when they're playing hard
You want more and you want it fast

They put you down, they say I'm wrong
You tacky thing, you put them on

Rebel Rebel, you've torn your dress
Rebel Rebel, your face is a mess
Rebel Rebel, how could they know ?
Hot tramp, I love you so

Don't ya ?
Doo doo doo-doo doo doo-doo doo

You've got your mother in a whirl
'Cause she's not sure if you're a boy or a girl
Hey, babe, your hair's alright
Hey, babe, let's stay out tonight
You like me and I like it all
We like dancing and we look divine
You love bands when they're playing hard
You want more and you want it fast

They put you down, they say I'm wrong
You tacky thing, you put them on

Rebel Rebel, you've torn your dress
Rebel Rebel, your face is a mess
Rebel Rebel, how could they know ?
Hot tramp, I love you so

Don't ya ?
Ooh !
Doo doo doo-doo doo doo-doo doo
Doo doo doo-doo doo doo-doo doo

Rebel Rebel, you've torn your dress
Rebel Rebel, your face is a mess
Rebel Rebel, how could they know ?
Hot tramp, I love you so (don't yam ?)

You've torn your dress, your face is a mess
You can't get enough, but enough ain't the test
You've got your transmission and your live wire
You got your cue line and a handful of ludes
You wanna be there when they count up the dudes
And I love your dress
You're a juvenile success
Because your face is a mess
So how could they know ?
I said, how could they know ?
So what you wanna know ?
Calamity's child, chi-chi, chi-chi
Where'd you wanna go ?
What can I do for you ? Looks like I've been there too
'Cause you've torn your dress
And your face is a mess
Ooh, your face is a mess
Ooh, ooh, so how could they know ?
Ah, ah, how could they know ?
Ah, ah

They pulled in just behind the bridge
He lays her down, he frowns
"Gee, my life's a funny thing
Am I still too young ?"
He kissed her then and there
She took his ring, took his babies
It took him minutes, took her nowhere
Heaven knows, she'd have taken anything, but

(All night)
She wants the young American
(Young American, young American)
(She wants the young American)
(All right)
She wants the young American

Scanning life through the picture window
She finds the slinky vagabond
He coughs as he passes her Ford Mustang
But Heaven forbid, she'll take anything
But the freak, and his type, all for nothing
He misses a step and cuts his hand, but
Showing nothing, he swoops like a song
She cries, "Where have all Papa's heroes gone ?"

(All night)
She wants the young American
(Young American, young American)
(She wants the young American)
(All right)
But she wants the young American

All the way from Washington
Her bread-winner begs off the bathroom floor
"We live for just these twenty years
Do we have to die for the fifty more ?"

All night
He wants the young American
(Young American, young American)
(He wants the young American)
(All right) All right
He wants the young American

Do you remember, your President Nixon ?
Do you remember, the bills you have to pay ?
Or even yesterday ?

Have you been the un-American ?
Just you and your idol sing falsetto
'Bout Leather, leather everywhere
And not a myth left from the ghetto
Well, well, well, would you carry a razor
In case, just in case of depression ?
Sit on your hands on a bus of survivors
Blushing at all the Afro-Sheeners
Ain't that close to love ?
Well, ain't that poster love ?
Well, it ain't that Barbie doll
Her heart's been broken just like you and

(All night)
All night, you want the young American
(Young American) young American
(You want the young American) All right
All right
You want the young American

You ain't a pimp and you ain't a hustler
A pimp's got a Cadi and a lady got a Chrysler
Black's got respect, and white's got his soul train
Mama's got cramps, and look at your hands ache
(I heard the news today, oh boy)
I got a suite and you got defeat
Ain't there a man who can say no more ?
And ain't there a woman I can sock on the jaw ?
And, ain't there a child I can hold without judging ?
Ain't there a pen that will write before they die ?
Ain't you proud that you've still got faces ?
Ain't there one damn song that can make me break down and cry ?

All night
I want the young American
(Young American) young American
(I want the young American)
All right
I want the young American, young American

(Young American, young American)
(I want the young American)
(All night)
You want I, I want you
(Young American, young American)
(I want the young American)
(All right)
All I want is the young American
(Young American, young American)
(I want the young American)
(All night)

[death tribble]

I was walking down the high street
When I heard footsteps behind me
And there was a little old man (Hello !)
In scarlet and gray, chuckling away

Well he trotted back to my house
And he sat beside the telly (Ah !)
With his tiny hands on his tummy
Chuckling away, laughing all day

"I ought to report you to the Gnome Office."
"Gnome Office ? Aha ha hah !"

Ha, ha, ha, hee, hee, hee
I'm a laughing gnome and you can't catch me
Ha, ha, ha, hee, hee, hee
I'm a laughing gnome and you can't catch me
Said the laughing gnome

Well I gave him roasted toadstools
And a glass of dandelion wine (pardon)
Then I put him on a train to Eastbourne
Carried his bag, and gave him a fag

"Have you got a light, boy ?"
"Here, where do you come from ?"
"Gnome-man's land, hee, hee !"
"Oh, really ?"

In the morning, when I woke up
He was sitting on the edge of my bed
With his brother, whose name was Fred
He'd brought him along to sing me a song

"Alright, let's hear it... 'ere, what's that clicking noise ?"
"That's Fred, he's a metro-gnome, ha ha !"

Ha, ha, ha, hee, hee, hee
I'm a laughing gnome and you can't catch me
Ha, ha, ha, hee, hee, hee
I'm a laughing gnome and you can't catch me

"Oh now, I'm a gnome, anyway, ha ha! "
"Haven't you got a home to go to ?"
"No, we are gnome-ads, he he !"
"Didn't they teach you to get your hair cut at school ? You look like a rolling gnome."
"Nah, not at the London school of Eco-gnome-ics."

Now they're staying up me chimney
And we're living on caviar and honey (Hurray !)
'Cause they're earning me lots of money
Writing comedy prose for radio shows

"It's the, errrr... it's the gnome-service, yes, of course !"

Ha, ha, ha, hee, hee, hee
I'm a laughing gnome and you can't catch me
Ha, ha, ha, hee, hee, hee
(Oh, dear me...)
I'm a laughing gnome and you can't catch me
(One more time !)
Ha, ha, ha, hee, hee, hee
I'm a laughing gnome and you can't catch me

At 4 o'clock we land
And I'll wave my flag for you
Interest in heart
We are not savage
Like children
We're people
"What Difference" I say

Music for chameleons
Music for chameleons

A dream of Siam
We could leave in the morning
Old friends and shy
We need to win
Like you need to breathe
I've an interest in games

Music for chameleons
Music for chameleons

Gowns for another show
Maybe no-one will come

Here take my arm
I like the pictures
And you like ghost stories
Tomorrow I'll sigh

Music for chameleons
Music for chameleons

[death tribble]

We are young we can break
Watch us fall
We can take some train
Down to the sea
We are glass, we are glass

We are real you can touch
Just for now
And I say
'Hey you which way is down ?'
We are glass, we are glass

We are strong
We're unknown
We have time
And to you I'm just one of those boys
We are glass, we are glass

We are cold
We're not supposed to cry
But it's all just a thought so
Here am I
We are glass, we are glass

They run fast impressions
Of the floors inviting
Stay with me, stay with me
They run past with telephones
They scream
Well would you
Turn all this down
Turn all this down

You are replaced
You are you
And now dreams are real
And dreams are all we need
We are glass, we are glass

They run fast impressions
Of the floors inviting
Stay with me, stay with me
They run past with telephones
They scream
Well would you
Turn all this down
Turn all this down

[death tribble]

Why don't you ever listen ?
It's you I'm talking to
This time it's your decision
We're into something new
I know that I'm sinking
Oh any fool can see
Time that I was thinking
Of no-one else but me

Change your mind
Nothing ever stays the same
Change your mind
No-one ever plays the game game game
Change your mind
Give up what you can't defend
Change your mind
Think it up and start again 'gain 'gain

Why can't you reconsider
Listen if you care
Take familiar giver
Reject me if you dare

Give me what I'm asking
And save it all for me
Love that's everlasting
That's how it's meant to be

Change your mind
Nothing ever stays the same
Change your mind
No-one ever plays the game game game
Change your mind
Give up what you can't defend
Change your mind
Think it up and start again 'gain 'gain

Change your mind
Nothing ever stays the same
Change your mind
No-one ever plays the game game game
Change your mind
Give up what you can't defend
Change your mind
Think it up and start again 'gain 'gain

This is not love
This is not even worth a point of view
In Echo Park, I
Pause for effect and whisper 'who are you ?'

They crawl out of their holes for me
And I die: You die
Hear them laugh, watch them turn on me
And I die: You die
See my scars, they call me such things
Tear me, tear me, tear me

Now I have your names
Screaming 'you will suffer' and 'you're all too late'
Now I feel young
Does everything stop when the old tape fails ?

They crawl out of their holes for me
And I die: You die
Hear them laugh, watch them turn on me
And I die: You die
See my scars, they call me such things
Tear me, tear me, tear me

But I'm still frightened by the telephone

[death tribble]

Confiscate letters like D.E.B.
No natural course of things for her to expect
Withdraw the feelings 'You can, you can't'
I called your number as you told the world

Something is wrong

There is no longer any normal to me
You're my assassin but you can't see the crime
Pointless possessions of me and you and greed
I looked at you mistaking needles for eyes

Something is wrong

[Greywind]

 

Photographs and memories
Christmas cards you sent to me
All that I have are these
To remember you

 

Memories that come at night
Take me to another time
Back to a happier day
When I called you mine

 

But we sure had a good time
When we started way back when
Morning walks and bedroom talks
Oh how I loved you then

 

Summer skies and lullabies
Nights we couldn't say good-bye
And of all of the things that we knew
Not a dream survived

 

Photographs and memories
All the love you gave to me
Somehow it just can't be true
That's all I've left of you

 

But we sure had a good time
When we started way back when
Morning walks and bedroom talks
Oh how I loved you then

[death tribble]

These waters have frozen

Can't break the ice no more

It's raining so hard now

Can't seem to find a shore

 

World of water

Where you swim for the other side

World of water

But you're swimming against the tide

 

This all goes so much deeper

Than some would like to say

Soaked in this world of water

Until it's washed away

 

World of water

Where you swim for the other side

World of water

But you're swimming against the tide

 

World of water

You can drown but you still survive

 

No colour no feeling

No time to sit around

No living no dying

No one here to be found

 

No entry no exit

I like to be beside the sea

The tide comes in once more but

I'm safe on higher ground

 

The water here still rising

It's come to drag me down

 

World of water

Where you swim for the other side

World of water

But you're swimming against the tide

 

World of water

You can drown but you still survive

World of water

Where you swim for the other side

 

World of water

But you're swimming against the tide

World of water

You can drown but you still survive

[Greywind]

There's got to be a morning after
If we can hold on through the night
We have a chance to find the sunshine
Let's keep on looking for the light

Oh, can't you see the morning after?
It's waiting right outside the storm
Why don't we cross the bridge together
And find a place that's safe and warm?

It's not too late, we should be giving
Only with love can we climb
It's not too late, not while we're living
Let's put our hands out in time

There's got to be a morning after
We're moving closer to the shore
I know we'll be there by tomorrow
And we'll escape the darkness
We won't be searching anymore

There's got to be a morning after
(There's got to be a morning after)
There's got to be a morning after
(There's got to be a morning after)
There's got to be a morning after
(There's got to be a morning after)

[Greywind]

Please, don't let this feeling end
It's everything I am
Everything I want to be
I can see what's mine now
Finding out what's true since I found you
Looking through the eyes of love

 

Now, I can take the time
I can see my life
As it comes up shining now
Reaching out to touch you
I can feel so much since I found you
Looking through the eyes of love

 

And now I do believe
That even in a storm
We'll find some light
Knowing you're beside me
I'm all right

 

Please, don't let this feeling end
It might not come again
And I want to remember
How it feels to touch you
How I feel so much since I found you
Looking through the eyes of love

 

And now I do believe
That even in a storm
We'll find some light
Knowing you're beside me
I'm all right

 

Now, I can take the time
I can see my life
As it comes up shining now
Reaching out to touch you
I can feel so much since I found you
Looking through the eyes of love

[death tribble]

People
They don't mean a thing to you
They move right through you
Just like your breath
But sometimes
I still think of you
And I just wanted to
Just wanted you to know
My old friend...
I swear I never meant for this
I never meant...

Don't look at me that way
It was an honest mistake
Don't look at me that way
It was an honest mistake
An honest mistake

Sometimes
I forget I'm still awake
I screw up and say these things out loud

My old friend...
I swear I never meant for this
I never meant...

Don't look at me that way
It was an honest mistake
Don't look at me that way
It was an honest mistake
An honest mistake

Don't look at me that way
It was an honest mistake
Don't look at me that way
It was an honest mistake
An honest mistake

Living by numbers
Adding to history
And living by numbers
I guess was always meant to be

Living by numbers
Living by numbers now

 

We've been living a long time
Counted out in the rows of files
Such a digital lifetime
It's been by numbers all the while

 

Living by numbers
Living by numbers now

 

You count the days but does it
All add up to you
Does it all add up to you why we're

 

Living by numbers
Living by numbers now

 

So you're living by numbers
And numbers you answer to
You can count all the numbers
You bet that someone's counting you

 

Living by numbers
Living by numbers now

 

Living by numbers
Living by numbers now

 

They don't want your name
They don't want your name
They don't want your name
They don't want your name
They don't want your name
Just your number

Be a man can a mystery man
Be a doll be a baby doll
It can't be fun not anyway
It can't be found no way at all
A distant man can't sympathise
He can't uphold his distant laws
Due to form on that today
I got a feeling then I hear this call

I said Neat Neat Neat
She can't afford a cannon
Neat Neat Neat
She can't afford a gun at all
Neat Neat Neat
She can't afford a cannon
Neat Neat Neat
She ain't got no name to call
Neat Neat Neat

No crime if there ain't no law
No more cops left to mess you around
No more dreams of mystery chords
No more sight to bring you down
I got a crazy got a thought in my mind
My mind's always full of disease
Feelin' fine in her restless time
Then these words upon me creep

I said Neat Neat Neat
She can't afford a cannon
Neat Neat Neat
She can't afford a gun at all
Neat Neat Neat
She can't afford a cannon
Neat Neat Neat
She ain't got no name to call
Neat Neat Neat

Be a man can a mystery man
Be a doll like a baby doll
It can't be fun not anyway
It can't be found no way at all
A distant man can't sympathise
Can't uphold his distant laws
Due to form on that today
I got a feeling then I hear that call

I said Neat Neat Neat
She can't afford a cannon
Neat Neat Neat
She can't afford a gun at all
Neat Neat Neat
She can't afford a cannon
Neat Neat Neat
She ain't got no name to call

You ask me if there'll come a time
When I grow tired of you
Never, my love
Never, my love

 

You wonder if this heart of mine
Will lose its desire for you
Never, my love
Never, my love

 

What makes you think love will end?
When you know that my whole life depends
On you (on you)

 

Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba (ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba)

 

Never, my love
Never, my love

 

You say you fear I'll change my mind
I won't require you
Never, my love
Never, my love

 

How can you think love will end
When I've asked you to spend your whole life
With me? (with me, with me)

 

Never, my love (never, my love)
Never, my love
Never, my love (never, my love)
Never, my love
Never, my love

 

[Greywind]

Ooh, somethin's got a hold on me now
It's a feelin', burnin' like a lover on fire
Hold me tight, baby
Don't leave me by myself tonight
'Cause I don't think I can make it through the night

 

I think I'm in love
And my life's lookin' up
I think I'm in love
'Cause I can't get enough (no, no, no)
I think I'm in love
It's gotta be love

 

It surrounds me
Over me like a sea of madness
It controls me
Makes me do all the things I do for you
You're on my mind, babe
Thinkin' about you now
And I don't know if I'll make it through the night

 

I think I'm in love
And my life's lookin' up
I think I'm in love
'Cause I can't get enough (no, no, no)
I think I'm in love
It's gotta be love

 

Baby, how you do it
There must be somethin' to it
Babe I know it's gotta be love
{Oh, with magic in your hand}?
You made me understand
I know, I know it's gotta be love

 

It's gotta be love
(Love) and my life's lookin' up (love)

[death tribble]

Life has been unfaithful
And it all promised so so much
I am a relic
I am just a petrified cry
Wheeled out once a year, a cenotaph souvenir
The applause nails down my silence

La tristesse durera
Scream to a sigh, to a sigh
La tristesse durera
Scream to a sigh, to a sigh

I see liberals
I am just a fashion accessory
People send postcards
And they all hope I'm feeling well
I retreat into self-pity, it's so easy
Where they patronise my misery

La tristesse durera
Scream to a sigh, to a sigh
La tristesse durera
Scream to a sigh, to a sigh

La tristesse durera
Scream to a sigh, to a sigh
La tristesse durera
Scream to a sigh, to a sigh

I sold my medal
It paid a bill
It sells at market stalls
Parades Milan catwalks
Oh, the sadness will never go
Will never go away
Baby it's here to stay
La tristesse durera
Scream to a sigh, to a sigh

[death tribble]

Culture sucks down words
Itemise loathing and feed yourself smiles
Organise your safe tribal war
Hurt maim kill and enslave the ghetto

Each day living out a lie
Life sold cheaply forever, ever, ever

Under neon loneliness motorcycle emptiness
Under neon loneliness motorcycle emptiness

Life lies a slow suicide
Orthodox dreams and symbolic myths
From feudal serf to spender
This wonderful world of purchase power

Just like lungs sucking on air
Survivals natural as sorrow, sorrow, sorrow

Under neon loneliness motorcycle emptiness
Under neon loneliness motorcycle emptiness

All we want from you are the kicks you've given us
All we want from you are the kicks you've given us
All we want from you are the kicks you've given us
All we want from you are the kicks you've given us

Under neon loneliness motorcycle emptiness
Under neon loneliness motorcycle emptiness

Drive away and it's the same
Everywhere death row, everyone's a victim
Your joys are counterfeit
This happiness corrupt political rubbish

Living life like a comatose
Ego loaded and swallow, swallow, swallow

Under neon loneliness motorcycle emptiness
Under neon loneliness motorcycle emptiness
Under neon loneliness motorcycle emptiness
Under neon loneliness everlasting nothingness

[death tribble]

Things get clear when I feel free
When whatever next comes easily
When gentle hands give life to me
When your eyes fill with tiny tears

When I'm this still you are my life
(When I'm this still you are my life)
So at ease in the midnight sky
(So at ease in the midnight sky)
But my insides will look like war
(But my insides will look like war)
Paralysed except through my thought

So why so sad
You live and you love
So why so sad
Dependent on above
Searchin' for the dead sea scrolls
So why, so why so sad

My smile as real as a hyena's
(My smile as real as a hyena's)
Burns an expressway to my skull
(Burns an expressway to my skull)
But I'll stick myself together again
Spirit so low I no longer pretend

So why so sad
You live and you love
So why so sad
Dependent on above
Searchin' for the dead sea scrolls
So why, so why so sad

So why so sad
You live and you love
So why so sad
Dependent on above
Searchin' for the dead sea scrolls
So why, so why so sad
So why, so why so sad
So why, so why so sad
So why, so why so sad

[Greywind]

Well, she was just seventeen
You know what I mean
And the way she looked
Was way beyond compare
So how could I dance with another
Ooh, when I saw her standing there?

 

Well, she looked at me
And I, I could see
That before too long
I'd fall in love with her
She wouldn't dance with another
Ooh, when I saw her standing there

 

Well, my heart went "boom"
When I crossed that room
And I held her hand in mine

 

Oh we danced through the night
And we held each other tight
And before too long
I fell in love with her
Now I'll never dance with another
Ooh, since I saw her standing there

 

Well, my heart went, "Boom"
When I crossed that room
And I held her hand in mine

 

Oh, we danced through the night
And we held each other tight
And before too long
I fell in love with her
Now I'll never dance with another
Oh, since I saw her standing there
Oh, since I saw her standing there
Yeah, well since I saw her standing there
