Breakthrough 03:32
’ve got one dream Just one hope And I’ll be the first to laugh If it all becomes a joke If I get a life I’d be free If I didn’t have this deep desire Burning up in me I’ll break through x 4 It takes years It might take me years In my dreams There are castles in the air I’ll build them to the skies If I can get my share In this life I know that nothing’s for free But I’ve always had this deep desire Burning up in me I’ll break through x 4 It takes years I’ll break through x 4

Hide & Seek 02:49
You’ll never find me I’m playing hide and seek You’ll never find me I’m playing hide and seek I’m in the city and everything's so chic Lying undercover, too drunk to speak You’ll never see me hiding in the trunk Laying low, breathing slow, ready for the funk Wait for the city to close its eyes and go to sleep Let’s count to ten now Let’s get invisible And worry bout the wheres and the whens All over again Let’s get invisible And worry bout the wheres and the whens Now and then Refrain: You hide behind the curtains You put a gun to my head But think about the mess you’ll leave When I’m lying down there dead It raps against my temple Leaves grooves upon my skin It's a hair trigger roulette wheel Are you out or are you in? And hey... Is this really real? x 4 Refrain: So Continentale! Dancing cheek to cheek One in a million A love unique I'd like to take take a secret look Cause your x-ray eyes leave me weak But you’ll never find me I’m playing hide and seek You’ll never find me I’m playing hide and seek You’re think you’re cool But I can see just who you are You're a crack in the clouds In a saucerful of stars

Time is graffiti scrawled on a wall Marks leave their traces on us all Washing away leaving their stains Wraps itself around us and runs down the drain Like chalk marks in the rain I knew that it was coming from the day that I was born Heard it in the rhythm ‘cause my heartbeats torn Might have been a hurricane – the eye of the storm Might have been the sound of the rustling corn Now it’s gone like chalk marks in the rain Like chalk marks in the rain Break Sixty seconds to the crash and burn Sixty seconds and it’s gone One small sound that decays and dies Time… (descant of voices) One moment in time that we forgot to count… One moment in time that we forgot Gone like chalk marks in the rain It’s deep in the night and no-one’s asleep I bump and grind in my winding-sheet Cat’s on the rampage, scratching in heat Tattoos on the retina, beating retreat Like chalk marks in the rain chalk marks in the rain chalk marks in the rain chalk marks in the rain Like chalk marks in the rain

Immortals 03:59
If World War Three is on the way there’s nowhere we can hide La la las and pillow dark won’t help to stem the tide So we try cling to something that nothing bad can change: That we lived our little lifetimes through a bright and golden age And love will hear my beating heart We are like marble We are like granite We are like air Like the sphere of a planet Like the arc of a rainbow rising up to the sky We are immortal and immortals never die. And in this last cold day of winter at the keening of the knives I give thanks to love and nature for keeping us alive I don’t know where we’re headed before my soul takes flight So let’s smash the walls of darkness down and step into the light… And love will heal my breaking heart We are like diamonds The core of the sun Like the stars in the heavens We are second to none The arc of a rainbow rising up to the sky We are immortal and immortals never die.

I’ve walked Picasso’s gardens Found his sketches on a stone Taking tea with BB The two of them alone Now you’re here with me And here is where the heart is I’ve watched electric storms Kiss the shoreline of the sea Shimmering and shining Bright diamondly Now you’re here with me Cause Here is where the heart is I could travel to the moon and back Never find what I’ve been longing for Throw my arms around the world Never find what I’ve been looking for Cause it’s here at my door The mirage i’ve been reaching for Now your here with me And Here is where the heart is I’ve wined and dined with princes Pretenders to the throne But fairytales and poetry Are better home grown And when you’re here with me Here is where the heart is Just stay here with me Where my heart will always be Where the heart is Here is where the heart is I’ve walked Picasso’s footsteps Found his sketches on a stone Taking tea with you The two of us alone You’re here with me And here is where the heart is

Eighteen shots ring out across the estuary dawn The white horse runs unbridled ‘cross the sands The devil fills the night with his moonshine breath And your precious time runs quickly through the fingers of his hands Now you’re barefoot in the park Hiding in the shadows and the doorways Now you’re helpless in the dark Lost between the devil and the highway 
Take me home to the straggling river Where the curlews call and the reed beds shiver As bitter cold as a New York whore Abandon me to my destiny On that heron-priested shore Send me some token that my hope may live Or that my easeless thoughts may sleep and rest Send me some honey to make sweet my hive That in my passions I may hope the best Send me nor this, send me nor that to ever increase my store But swear though think’st 'I love thee', and no more Take me home to the straggling river Where the oysters sprawl in the salt-bed shimmer As bitter cold as a New York whore Abandon me to my destiny On that heron-priested shore Eighteen shots ring out across the estuary dawn The white horse runs unbridled ‘cross the sands The devil deals the deck with a hand of death To the funeral march of a Chapel band Now you’re barefoot in the park Hiding in the shadows and the doorways Now you’re helpless in the dark Lost between the devil and the highway
 Take me home to the straggling river Where the redshanks trawl as the seasons wither As bitter cold as a New York whore Abandon me to Eternity On that heron-priested shore

It took a little time Just a second or two i knew that you’d be mine Cause my heart chose you The heavens kind of opened With a bolt from the blue Now all i ever think about is you Bumping into clouds Stumbling into rainbows Crashing into snow You left me without nowhere Nowhere to go Now I’m bumping into clouds Black, black coffee Stirring up trouble Stickier than toffee (Molasses and Toffee) The climate is changing Gonna bump in the night The ice caps are melting at the very sight of you You’re hot, hot, hot! On a cold cold night And our love is still smouldering in the morning light Bumping into clouds I’m Bumping into clouds Bumping into clouds Here we go Just Bumping into clouds Bumping into clouds Running into rain Watching my lonely days Running down the drain Bumping into clouds Boom Boom Crash! Jump into the deep end For a bigger splash Now everywhere i go I stumble and fall Bumping into clouds hitting that wall Boom boom thunder crashing all about my head Boom boom lightning flashing in and out of bed Bumping into clouds I’m bumping into clouds Running into rain Watching my lonely days Running down the drain The climate is changing Bump in the night The ice caps are melting at the very sight of you You’re hot, hot, hot! On a cold cold night And our love is still smouldering in the morning light Now I’m bumping into clouds Drinking black, black coffee Stirring up trouble Stickier than toffee Bumping into clouds

Crush Hour 03:04
Stuck in a jam, don’t know where to turn Head out to the highway, there’s rubber to burn Shifting gears, but I can’t move on Radio’s stuck on the same old song Crush Hour x 4 This old truck is battered and worn I was lost in love but now I’m reborn Back on track I’ve found the plot Stake my claim in your parking lot Where love’s concerned I’ve got a lot to learn Your Car Crash Man is waiting his turn Crush Hour x 4 Driving’s neat, your kisses are sweet Got me maniac driving down a wrong way street I look into the mirror and I can’t quite see If it’s rain on the pane or your tears on me My brain is numb from pushing these wheels My heartbeat pumps as the Dunlop squeals But my lonely bunk in the back of the truck Is an empty nest cos I’m all out of luck Where love’s concerned I’ve got a lot to learn Your Car Crash Man is waiting his turn Crush Hour x 4 Stuck in a jam, don’t know where to turn Head out to the highway, there’s rubber to burn Shifting gears, but I can’t move on Radio’s stuck on the same old song Where love’s concerned I’ve got a lot to learn Your Car Crash Man is waiting his turn Crush Hour

Breathless 04:19
Breathless With every beat of my heart Every moment apart You leave me breathless Breathless, Breathless Remember my kiss Long after I’m gone And though silence is bliss Remember my song And when darkness descends And stars pierce the night I’ll always be there In the shadows and light Remember our dreams The worlds that we drew The sum of our lives The me, and the you Remember the sights Remember the sounds Remember the lost Remember the found Remember the still Remember the noise Tumbling words Scattering toys Remember the fool Remember the boy Remember the tears Remember the joy Remember it all When we run out of time Walking the walk Climbing the climb And should memory fade Like black holes in the sky I’ll always be there At the back of your mind You leave me breathless Breathless With every beat of my heart Every moment apart You leave me breathless Breathless, Breathless Breathless
12.
Hold On 04:31
I was greener back in those early days But you set my soul on fire Your touch ravaged my existence With so much more than your desire I cannot think about a future Where you and I divide I'll keep you close, close to my heart Close by my side So hold on to me Don't ever let me go The passion that burns in the core of me Melts the ice in your stony heart And sometimes, I get to thinking That the only way to live with you is to tear this love apart I warned you from the outset of this wild and crazy show That our time will run like rivers Unless we stop the flow So hold on to me Don't ever let me go So hold on to me Don't you ever let me go So hold on to me Don't ever let me go I gaze out at the fragile balance our world The yin and the yang There can be no day without the darkest night It’s all part of nature's plan And even now, as I run my fingers through your burning sands And watch it trickle through my calloused hands Now those fire rage through the rain kissed leaves in the forests of the light That last kiss might be the final touch Unless we change the wrongs to right So hold on to me...

Absolution 02:51
Well, it’s Good Time Girls in the dead of night looking for mass destruction Sailor boys on a weekend haul, looking for instruction Downhome kids with Backstreet minds covered in confusion For a dollar a crime they’ll wait in line looking for absolution See the girl with blue sky eyes she's starting up a revolution She bruised my soul with storm-cloud lies and a jack-knife contribution I’m hospitalised with heartbreak sighs and a thirty day contusion Let me in you Preacher Man - I need some absolution So wake me, Shake me, shake that girl with the red dress on Here come’s Johnny down the stony road, looking for absolution It’s a wake me, shake me, we all need absolution Wake me, shake me, absolution Wake me, shake me, I’m looking for absolution Wake me, shake me, absolution So wake me, Shake me, shake that girl with the red dress on Here come’s Johnny down the stony road, looking for absolution So wake me, Shake me, shake that girl with the red dress on Here come’s Johnny down the stony road, looking for absolution Absolution Absolution Let me us in you Preacher Man - we ALL need absolution

Take aim and fire We’re through A little light reflected by the moon Until the tide goes out, yeah Forever and ever, yeah I know we know there’s so much more to lose, hmm Than the pretty shine upon our shoes I know we know there’s so much more to lose, hmm Than the pretty shine upon our shoes There’s no time to pray now Where to find a way now Say goodbye, oh no It’s too soon for us to go The last chance It’s too soon for us to go The final show So much I need to know So much more I need to know Lost In Space like a speck of dust Black holes and cumulus Chorus: Lost In Space like a speck of dust Black holes and cumulus Such a difficult choice for you Is this really what you want to do?

Destruction 03:16
Prologue: As the clock ticks, slowly counting down inevitable moments, convergent souls crash toward their destinies in the silent drowning city, lives will change forever as the sun rises on this bright new day of destruction… Mist in the streets, middle of the road Broken Ovation lightens the load Hitch hike, motor bike Seeds I sowed Drowning in salt The debt I owed Trails of destruction Middle of the road x2 Destruction Trails of destruction Middle of the road x2 Destruction Red lights showing, must’ve been blind Slow motion mayhem rolling behind Hitch hike Motor bike Rows I hoed Down in the flood A deadly code Trails of destruction Middle of the road x2 Destruction Trails of destruction Middle of the road x2 Destruction Solo: Crashing at The Crucifix Brief encounter Dummy and the Big Girl talking about her Hitch hike Motor bike Roads I rode Drowning in caffiene Breaking the code Stitching the shroud Leaving a trail of destruction x 3 Destruction

One Voice 03:10
One voice wiill make us stronger One choice theres a better way One voice wiill make us stronger One choice a better way Jaw Jaw better than war war Jaw Jaw No War War You pays your money and you takes your choice Change the rules - kill the voice People power will win this time There’s light at the end of the party line You pays your money and you choose your toys Up the ante - quench the noise People power will seal the crime There’s time at the end of the party line Trumpet Majors, currying favours, Placing bets with a billion dollar wager Finger on the button red for danger Who the hell is gonna be our saviour?

Northern stars tattooed on my fingers In the summer of 69 On a Berlin train with the echo of the Ghetto Pounding in the raging Rhine It was all much closer than I ever dreamed of Yet further than I dared to think Twenty Five Years from there to here In the land of Grey and Pink… Now it's a grey old day in 88 There are bombs on the Greyhounds and the Chevrolets Down along the Devil's Way As we ride the rails to God knows where One more Summer of Love One more Summer Of Love Fear and pheromones ruled the air, One more Summer of Love I had a brother when i was young He was a mystery to me We never got along and now he’s gone That was all he ever gave to me I don’t miss him all that much. We only shared an hour or two It’s hard to miss what you never had When you’re coal house black and blue One more Summer of Love Give me one more Summer of Love There was another brother lost to me The one I have yet to meet He came between the boy and the man I am One minute old and he beat a retreat I’ve only just begun wondering how and when One more Summer of Love One more Summer Of Love Tears and amphetamines ruled the head, Give me one more Summer of Love Would we have ever got along There in the summer sun Would he have turned my destiny? Who would have won? Then the willow arrows cut me down Cut me like a field of corn The cars roared into the silent town Leaving me re-born Cowboys and Indians One more Summer of Love One more Summer Of Love Storms and hurricanes fanned the flames Give me one more Summer of Love One more Summer of Love One more Summer Of Love Childhood memories fuelled the fire, One more Summer Of Love One more Summer of Love One more Summer Of Love Fear and terror reigning down, It’s just one more Summer of Love...

Give me the key Give me the bunch The carnivores are ravenous Plotting their lunch The bones and the gristle Add to the crunch The animals are hungry tonight Key in the slot Tumblers are falling The Dik Diks are scared The hyenas are calling There are bells and whistles As the dead come crawling The animals are hungry tonight I don’t need excuses to crack another bottle They’re lined up in the rack in a sequence of strength I’m celebrating corpses on Popocatépetl Just about as high as I’m ever going to get Knock on my door any time at all The keys are on the table in the corner of the hall I’ve passed out in the kitchen So just take it all The animals are hungry tonight So, Open the cages Open the gates Open your eyes, Start spinning those plates You want some more? You’ll have to wait The animals are hungry tonight Caught in the crossfire Mown down in blood The prisoners are restless Trapped in the flood There’s fingers round my ankles deep in the mud The animals are hungry tonight

Mean Girl 03:36
I woke up in a bad place In another man’s shoes Just leave me to simmer here I can handle the blues You could have just abandoned me Staring at the stars But you had to settle ancient scores And leave those battle scars Mean girl x 7 Scaling Ivory towers For songs you’ll never sing The devil's in the decaff As the pas de deux begins A funeral march of memories Five fiery rings Mean girl, yeah Keening through the water Someone queered my deal Tomorrows never show their hand They conceal the reveal You spun me on a dime You led me down a rut You tangled me in knots There were ties to cut Mean girl x 7 You could always make me turn my head But there were lies in every word you said Having Fun… You could have just left me Staring at the stars But you had to settle scores with me And leave those battle scars Mean Girl You could always make me turn my head But there were lies in every word you said Having Fun? Having fun… Erasing every little thing we’ve done since the day we first met Lowering the stakes with every last bet Mean girl It’s always ‘me, me, me, me’ Always you you you Always one one one Never two two two x 2 Mean girl You’re such a mean girl Do you know what I mean girl Hey Hey Nananana Nananana Nananana Nananana x3 Mean girl

Shine 03:26
There were cats on the crossbar and lights in the night There was music in the mist as we took to flight There were cops in the shrubbery taking our names There were stars in our eyes and the world was in flames Shine There were locks on the door and frost on the lawn And we watched as the moonlight died in the dawn The herons flew, the camomile brewed The doves in the rafters billed and cooed Shine There were stars on the steps with anonymous names There were pornographic knights who played their games There were painters and poets and indelible dreams There were swastikas carved in the castle beams There were flags in the hallway covered in toads Chickens in the basement, chickens on the road You and me on overload And Jakob preened and Jakob crowed Shine I don’t care if it’s wet or fine As long as you’re mine, all I wanna do is shine There was Escher at the baker, Anton in the Baarn Queenie in a headscarf to keep her from harm There was Pushkin and Pulin and Vietnam tears There was M-biotic mayhem and TB fears There were picnics in the poppies, Emperors in the grass Bubbles on the doorstep, futures in the past Smokes in the Oaks and swings in the Ash Cous-cous in the Kosmos – life was a gas! Shine
22.
Deja Voodoo 03:52
Needles and pins Needles… I hear a pin drop in the dead of our night You can crawl out of bed but don’t turn on the light So why don't you crawl out of bed - it’s close to midnight And I'm playing with the dolls tonight I’ve been here before There’s nothing that’s new i’ve been here before You’re just one of the few Now it’s all down to me Cause I’m so over you Needles and pins Deja Voodoo Needles and pins Ten silent steps As you head for oblivion Count in reverse As you glide cross the floor Ticking of clocks Antemeridian Whisper the curse As you beg me for more I’ve been here before There’s nothing that’s new i’ve been here before You’re just one of the few Now it’s all down to me Cause I’m so over you Needles and pins Deja Voodoo I’ve been here before There’s nothing that’s new i’ve been here before You’re just one of the few Now it’s all down to me Cause I’m so over you Needles and pins Deja Voodoo

There’s light at the end of the tunnel Sure looks like the dawn of a bright new day But it sounds like a freight train out of control  On a one-way track, and it’s heading this way Riding The Wheels Of Fortune
 Windows are dark around town tonight As the bartender trickles the gold There’s a spring in my step as I stumble and fall And the gutter receives my soul Under The Wheels Of Fortune Catching your breath Take one little moment All you have left is time Get your head clear Of the Reasons and Rhymes The windows are dark As starless as midnight Colder than ice Colder than clay. They’re closing the bar, They’re closing the town Lovers in limbo reaching for anyone Pushing the edges of breaking day. Going round and round and round and round and round and round and round On the Wheels Of Fortune There’s a light at the end of the tunnel And great is the joy in my heart There's an arrow of birds in the moonlight Splitting the seasons apart As they fly from The Wheels Of Fortune There’s a light at the end of the tunnel Sure looks like the dawn of a bright new day But it rolls like a freight train out of control  On a one-way track, and it’s heading our way Riding The Wheels Of Fortune Riding The Wheels Of Fortune Riding The Wheels Of Fortune Going round and round and round and round and round and round and round
