Heading Out 04:24
lyrics
download
Where there is smoke, there is smoke Where there is friction, there is fire The spark of anger is no joke A flying cocktail is no liar So what the hell is happening here? Where is the fun in all this waste? A rank explosive atmosphere Leaving behind a bitter taste Where there is pain, there is pain Where there is tension, there is terror The flash of vengeance is no game A burning breeze is no chimera So should I stay or should I go? Where is the sense in being here? Another sorry fiasco Mayhem and darkness drawing near I'm heading out (What will the night bring?) A ton of doubt In each step I take I'm heading out (No time for playthings) This walkabout A real make or break Where there is fear, there is fear Where there is poison, there is power The snarl of fury is no cheer A falling suitcase is no shower So button up, it's time to go There's just no sense in being here Untie the ropes and cheerio It's time to smile and disappear I'm heading out (What will the night bring?) A ton of doubt In each step I take I'm heading out (No time for playthings) This walkabout A real make or break

Cicadas 05:07
lyrics

Sky is filled with stars tonight Homeless dreamers travel light No room for the paperbacks Wooden legs and plastic macs Throw away the bric-a-brac Arty-farty artefacts Roller-blinds and empty minds So much rubbish left behind Walk the walk - the sound of cicadas Chalk the chalk - is tearing up time Smoke the smoke - so many pathways Don't talk the talk - jumbled-up lines Walk the walk - you dream when you sleep Chalk the chalk - do you sleep when you dream? Smoke the smoke - featureless faces Don't talk the talk - all floating upstream Voices on the wind tonight Keep all senses sharp and bright Whispering through the cul-de-sac Talking bollocks by the track Throw away all self-control Undiluted rock-and-roll Party spirits up in flames Cracking heads and calling names Walk the walk - the sound of cicadas Chalk the chalk - a message from time Smoke the smoke - so many phrases Don't talk the talk - tangled grapevines Walk the walk - you say what you mean Chalk the chalk - do you mean what you say? Smoke the smoke - words of dishonour Don't talk the talk - dressed up in grey Watchers in the woods tonight Building up an appetite Wondering what the path will bring Keeping tabs on everything Throw away the chicken-bone Competition in the zone Desperation in the dark So much violence in the park Walk the walk - the sound of cicadas Chalk the chalk - an echo of time Smoke the smoke - so many phases Don't talk the talk - rambling designs Walk the walk - you want what you hear Chalk the chalk - do you hear what you want? Smoke the smoke - the delicate touch Don't talk the talk - of an insincere rant

Rough Ground 05:31
lyrics
download
Hey Charlie, why are you hanging? Monkey no trudge about in the rain Oh Charlie, heads are a-banging The rougher the ground, the harder the strain Hey Charlie, why are you circling? Falcon no swoop and snatch under stars Oh Charlie, pickly gherkin The rougher the ground, the deeper the scars Always hurting - memories just won't go away Life uncertain - can't go on another day Desperation - pinball bounce from taste to taste Isolation - the smiling face of a trust misplaced Lurching sideways - no one wants to take you home Burnt-out relays - whoops, there goes the barbitone Bonds dissolving - gentleness and patience drained Life evolving - circles formed and habits gained Desolation - the politics of the simple fix Adaptation - the clickety-click of perennial pricks Signals scrambled - curtain-twitchers closing doors Limbs disabled - outcasts sprawled on unswept floors Going bye-byes - snoring socks and coma toes Counting fireflies - whoops, there goes the overdose

Storm Brewing 04:41
lyrics

Dark times on the road again Another turn, another game Is the booze the one to blame We've all got shit for brains? There's a storm brewing No buckarooing A storm brewing A dark undoing Clouds mask the horizon Driving rain is in season Sleepwalkers are rising All intentions are frozen There's a storm brewing No barbecuing A storm brewing One dark undoing There's a storm brewing No wild yahooing A storm brewing One dark undoing

Dead of night, dead on time Dead-eyed dicks in a dead-straight line Shuffling through the parking zone Dead on target, each his own Dead-smooth automatic doors Non-slip mats, checkered floors Notice-boards in dead-beat bays Heading for the dead-end maze Aisles of leisure, aisles of bliss Aisles of structured idleness Such a multitude of sins Gathered in the bargain bins Kingdom come, kingdom gone Kindred spirit, king coupon Three for two, King Kong deal Kingsize trolley, wobbly wheel So many pleasures you can buy here [Good cheer] So many hungers you can feed [Exceed] Sometimes I think that I could die here [Pioneer] All of my comforts guaranteed [Indeed] Tins of soup, tins of beans Tins of beer, tins of dreams Tins of stodgy pap for kids In mouth-watering pyramids Packs of bickies, packs of cakes Packs of gumdrops, packs of flakes Packs of lovely chocky bars Ta-ta munchies, hello Mars So many pleasures you can buy here [Headgear] So many hungers you can feed [Birdseed] Sometimes I think that I could die here [Sincere] All of my comforts guaranteed [Knock-kneed] Oh yeah yeah..... One of these, three of those Bag of nuts, tomatoes All the fuel a body needs Simple means for simple greeds Time is money, time is play Time to pay and be on my way Time to queue in single file Cool self-service with a smile So many pleasures you can buy here [Small beer] So many hungers you can feed [Stampede] Sometimes I think that I could die here [Oh dear] All of my comforts guaranteed [Agreed] So many pleasures you can buy here [Good cheer] So many hungers you can feed [Exceed] Sometimes I think that I could die here [Pioneer] All of my comforts guaranteed [Indeed]

Get back on the slow track Pronto just has no value Straightness of the road, Jack Says more then the speed you can do Left right - step by step Left right - no time to fret Left right - step by step Left right - the world's a threat Left right - step by step Left right - forget the debt Left right - step by step Left right - goodbye sunset Left right - step by step Left right - now don't get wet Left right - step by step Left right - don't break a sweat Left right - step by step Left right - in Leatherette Left right - step by step All right? Martin stop farting Carson stop arsing about The line of your parting Says more than a scream and a shout Left right - step by step Left right - place that bet Left right - step by step Left right - don't think roulette Left right - step by step Left right - no cigarette Left right - step by step Left right - have a rosette Left right - step by step Left right - you marionette Left right - step by step Left right - in silhouette Left right - step by step Left right - your mind is set Left right - step by step All right? Go slow on tiptoe Freedom don't need an excuse The smoothness of the trip, Joe Says more than all hell broken loose Left right - step by step Left right - no time to fret Left right - step by step Left right - the world's a threat Left right - step by step Left right - forget the debt Left right - step by step Left right - goodbye sunset Left right - step by step Left right - now don't get wet Left right - step by step Left right - don't break a sweat Left right - step by step Left right - in Leatherette Left right - step by step Left right - it's not done yet Left right - step by step Left right - place that bet Left right - step by step Left right - don't think roulette Left right - step by step Left right - no cigarette Left right - step by step Left right - have a rosette Left right - step by step Left right - you marionette Left right - step by step Left right - in silhouette Left right - step by step Left right - your mind is set Left right - step by step All right?

Station X 04:37
lyrics

Hey Tommy Flowers, what's that you're building? The room is so toasty it feels like July Thousands of tubes glowing and purring Crunching enigmas and draining them dry Who would've thought the codes could be broken? Letter by letter the wheels fall apart All overpowered, ciphers unfolding Laying the bricks of an exquisite art Official secrets - keep you amused Designing circuits - no time for confused Hey Tommy Flowers, the big boy's performing Undressing riddles and laying them bare Wrapped up in tape, the bedsteads are rattling All synchronized in an unscripted score Official secrets - keep things obscure Rooting out targets - no time for unsure Hey Tommy Flowers, what's that you're burning? The boiler is rumbling as loud as a bomb Drawings and plans glowing and crumbling One more enigma to add to the swarm Official secrets - keep things confused Everything private - no time for amused Official secrets - keep your trap shut Each section separate - is that understood?

Daybreak 03:30
lyrics

It's time to kick the crap and go No ‘Hang about’, no ‘Just a mo’ New day is breaking up the sky So get your rucksacks on or die Day breaking Life waking Nerves crawling Chorus calling It's time to hide behind the shades Anonymous as lemonade New day is bleeding through the cracks Blinker-controlled panic-attacks Day breaking Life waking Nerves crawling Chorus calling It's time to leave behind the gonks And all the slippery-sloping twonks New day lies broken on the dunes Corpuscles pool into lagoons Day breaking Life waking Nerves crawling Chorus calling Day broken Life woken Nerves crawling Chorus calling

Where there is fun, there is warmth Where there is laughter, there is fire The thrill of sharing is a strength A double-meaning lifts you higher So take the warmth and leave the cold What is the use of being blue? Too many moods, too much untold Will leave you lost and feeling screwed I'm coming home Where it's happy inside Home Where everything feels good Where there is sense, there is style Where there is substance, there is leisure The taste of closeness brings a smile The glow of beauty is a treasure So take the smiles and leave the frowns What is the use of being sad? Too many dives, too many downs Will leave you closed and feeling bad I'm coming home Where it's cheerful inside Home Where everything is good Where there is joy, there is hope Where there is passion, there is power The stroke of love is scented soap The deepest pleasure is a flower So take the highs and leave the lows What is the use of being down? Too many hits, too many blows Will leave you reeling like a clown I'm coming home Where it's so warm inside Home Where everything feels good Home Where it's roasting inside Home Where everything is good Where there is balance, there is tone Where there is order, there is presence But in the end we die alone And the final sound is silence
