Late Bar

There's a hole
in the wall next to you
Things with legs 
are crawling through
the man is searching
for the door
and you run
you're coming out
you're going down

Chorus 1:
There's an all night party
in room 7609
la la la late bar
la la la la la la la late

Chorus 2:
And you can dance together
all night, if you've got the time
la la la late bar
la la la la la la la late

The bodies move
like flies on the wall
You want to run
but there's no space at all
The dancers spinning on the mirror ball
You're coming out
you're going round

(chorus 1)

(chorus 2)

(chorus 1)

(chorus 2)

Khanada

Didn't no one tell you
Money is the game
You're playing so hard to get now
I don't even know your name

Chorus:
Don't play with me, I've nothing to lose    Khanada I'll get by
It ain't no ones day, coming so soon        Khanada I'll get by
I dont believe in dragons or blues          Khanada I'll get by
I don't believe in nobody's rules           Khanada I'll get by

Heavy as the rain falls
I might go outside
Just because you're with me
Doesn't mean you're not the same

(chorus)

Faith in this Colour

(Instrumental)

(Come Up and See Me) Make Me Smile

You've done it all, you've broken every code
and pulled the Rebel to the floor
You spoilt the game, no matter what you say
for only metal-what a bore!
Blue eyes, blue eyes, how come you tell so
many lies?

Come up and see me, make me smile
or do what you want, run on wild

There's nothing left, all gone and run away
Maybe you'll tarry for a while
It's just a test, a game for us to play
win or lose, it's hard to smile
Resist, resist, it's from yourself you have to hide

(chorus)

There ain't no more, you've taken everthing
from my belief in Mother Earth
How can you ignore my faith in everything
when I know what Faith is and what it's worth
Away, away, and don't say maybe you'll try

(chorus)

Secret Oktober

Wise on a birthday party
in a world 
full of surprising fireworks
and sudden silence

Lies on a stranger's bed
the new day breaks
like a speeding train
on an old friend
ever expected,
but never knocking

Holding your own
in a battered car
All night parties
cocktail bars
and smile
when the butterfly escapes
the killing jar

Chorus:
Sure eyes awake
before the dancing is over
Wise or naked in
Secret Oktober

Freefall
on a windy morning shore--
nothing but a fading track
of footsteps, to prove
that you'd ever been there

Spoken
on a cotton cloud
like the sound of gunshot
taken by the wind
and lost in distant thunder

Racing
on a shining plane
Tomorrow won't be content
to watch as the lightning
plays along the wires,
and you'll wonder...

(chorus x2)

We Need You

Time will see
we're not searching for a wild excuse
to put emotion back on hold

Too much has gone down,
we know what youre doing,
but do you feel the same way

You look sharp
inside your pointed shoes,
I have this picture
hanging in my room
But I refuse to take you down
or shake you down,
we could bring you gently round
If thats what you choose
for a point of view
I think youll find its true

These words are like sand,
just get blown away
All the things we'd like to say...
We need you
We need you (we need you)
We need you (we need you)
We need you (we need you)
We need you (we need you)
We need you (we need you)
We need you.

I Believe / All I Need to Know (Medley)

The taxman's in the pocketbook
The pressman's by the bar
And all the world is at your door

It's strange that you should lock it up
And preach an open heart
But you know what they're waiting for

Chrous:
You can turn your face away now
And don't think twice
I'm just the ordinary guy you used to know
I'm not after your money
Or even your advice
I believe you'll follow me
It's all I need to know 

I was tempted by the devil in this deep blue swimming pool 
Until the devils make a ???
And my future's in the strangled oath of ever changing rules
I don't intend to understand

You can stop pretending now that I had you fooled
I'm still the ordinary guy you used to know
I'm not after your money
To paralise my soul
I believe you'll follow me
It's all I need to know 
Promise me you'll try to understand
Before I go

(chorus)
Promise me you'll try to understand
Before I go

All I need to, all I need to, all I need to know
(repeat to fade)

God (London)

God created the world,
then created the Devil
to blame for his mistakes

I closed the door of my hotel room behind me,
it was like closing a chapter in the book of life.
Outside thirty floors below I could hear
the police using their sirens like wolf whistles
to pick up young girls.
On TV Oliver North (his fifteen minutes of fame
ticking steadily away) was being fuzzy about
crucial events which had happened a year earlier
what a flake...but then who isn't?
-that was Regan's defence at least.
The worst thing is how politics begin to
lead into your life.
Back in our innocence we used to simply stick
two fingers up to politics, say "fuck the Queen",
that was about all you had to say anyway
and go back to the more important business
of making music.
So why was I sitting there feeling angry about
covert operations and illegal aid to the contras?
I mean I'm not even American (may be we all
are a little bit).  Then I realised it was just the idea
that in this particular democracy and probably
every other one in the world, there is somebody
in power who thinks he is more right
than all the people who put him there,
all the people who for once in their lives
took an interest.
Outside
the wind was howling the "Who Who's"
from Sympathy for the Devil round and round
the concrete hotel walls and corners.
That was then, this is...!

This is How a Road Gets Made

This is how a road gets made.
Somebody walked on a virgin (land).
Someone else saw their tracks
and followed them, leaving a path.
It seemed as though i were looking
down the hill when I first saw it,
but, as I waled on, I realized
I was going up.
Somebody whistled behind and
turning round, they seemed far below.
Then I came to where
there had been a fire and was shaded
from the sun by the trees.
Figure of eight.  It's our year,
it always was.

Credentials:
Made of earth, drinks water,
breathes air, makes fire.

View to A Kill

Meeting you with a view to a kill
Face to faces, secret places, feel the chill

Night fall covers me but you know the plans I'm making
Still overseas, could it be the whole lot opening wide
A sacred why
A mystery gaping inside
A week is why

Until we dance into the fire
That fatal kiss is all we need
Dance into the fire
To fatal sounds of broken dreams
Dance into the fire
That fatal kiss is all we need
Dance into the fire

The choice for you is the view to a kill
Between the shades assacination standing still

First crystal tears, fallen of snowflakes on your body
First time in years to drench you skin of lover's rosy stain
A chance to find the phoenix for the flame
A chance to die

But can we dance into the fire
That fatal kiss is all we need
Dance into the fire
To fatal sounds of broken dreams
Dance into the fire
That fatal kiss is all we need
Dance into the fire

When all we see is the view to a kill
