When I See You

Chorus:
When I see you it's just like takin' some drug,
Takin' some drug,
Takin' some drug
When I see you it's just like takin' some drug,
Takin' some drug,
Takin' some drug

It's calm a little while
Why can't I stop?
I watch your funny smile
The air is hot

(chorus)

The clock says half past one
Turn on the light
Drink coffee now and then
It's getting late
I listen to the night
You read a book
You ask me questions and away I look
and I say

(chorus)

I know conversation is nothing to you
Get lost in creation is all I can do
All I can do
All I can do
All I can do
All I...

(chorus)

Look at some people
Look at yourself
Why don't you worry about your physical health

(chorus x3)

Drug...Drug
Drug...Drug
Takin' some,
Drug...Drug
Takin' some,
Drug, Drug
Drug, Drug
Drug, Drug

Politics

I'm angry
Yes I'm angry
Very angry
Two people living
Living together
They do the things they want
They think they're clever
But when they fight or play their silly tricks
When they fall in love it's only politics

Chorus: Politics...Politics, yeah
Politics, Politics, Politics

I'm frightened
Yes I'm frightened
Very frightened
The boy is frightened
He doesn't understand
He's in love with another man
and when they fight or play their silly tricks
When they fall in love it's only politics

(chorus)

Now I see it
See it for what it is
What seems so personal is really politics
And when we fight or make ourselves sick
when we fall in love it's only politics

Politics, yeah
Politics, tics
Politics, tics tics tic tic tic tic
Politics, yeah

(chorus)

What seems so personal is really politics
Politics
Politics

Slave Trade

Sophisticated slave trade rhythmically admired
Give me a punctual bliss
He's in love with a velvet glove
Soon he'll feel the fist
His senses are reeling
He can't sit still
He's got that same old feeling
The same old thrill
The same old thrill

Goose flesh, giggling, stimulating scenes
Pleasure is a means to the end
Hedonistic high time
He can't get enough
Physical encounters can offend
Drinking like a fish out of water high and dry
When there's no tomorrow he doesn't even try

Don't take a walk, when it's easier to run
Don't take it easy
No don't take it

Don't you touch the flesh, the fragile flesh
He's never going to get near the heart
He can prodel, he can poke but it won't get him closer
He's only playing a part
Across the threshold he feels his nostrils flare
The stifling perfume is so thick in there

Don't take a walk, when it's easier to run
Don't take it easy, no don't take it
Don't take it easy, Don't take it easy
Don't take it, Don't take it
Don't take it, Don't take it
Don't take it, Don't take it
Don't take it, Don't take it

Sophisticated slave trade rhythmically admired
Give me a punctual bliss
He's in love with a velvet glove
Soon he'll feel the fist
His senses are reeling
He can't sit still
He's got a sort of feeling

Could Be Her...Could Be You

She sits there
Her hair is curled
She is living in a detached world
He walks by
He sees his chance
Thinks he's looking for romance
For romance

He talk to her of things he's done
And tries to make it all seem fun
But as she listens to what he say
Energy just drifts
Drifts away, Drifts away

Chorus:
I have seen it
I have done it too
You could be her
He could be you

So carry on the way you are
The air is thinning more and more
The things you are, the things you do
The men he killed screaming for you
Screaming for you
Just for you

(chorus)

She sits there
Her hair is curled
She is living in a detached world
But as she listens to what he say
Energy just drifts
Drifts away, Drifts away

Make Believe

Chorus:
I had a dream and the dream came true
I saw a ghost and the ghost was you
But in the dark it was hard to see
That you were only make believe

Some people can't be left alone
They can't be happy on their own
Some people need to find a friend
I never knew this was in my head

I wandered to an empty playground
All I needed was a friend
Instead of playing hide and seek
I played let's pretend
Lets pretend

(chorus)

Whenever I am feeling lonely
Whenever I am at an end
I draw a picture inside my head
I could see you once again

(chorus)

I'm building giant towers
Day and night without relief
I don't need a team of helpers
I make do with make believe

(chorus x2)

Don't Go Away

Chorus:
Please don't go
Please don't go

You go, You go
I stay
You do, You do
I say

(chorus)

Your intensions are so pure
Make me want to dance
But I feel so insecure
Can't get out of the trance I'm in

(chorus)

You act, You act
I play
You will, You will
I may

Please don't go
No, no, no, please don't go
Please don't go

The Price

When I was young they said to me
Don't play with electricity
I tried to follow their advice
I very nearly paid the price, yeah

Some go this way, some go others
Some are children, some are mothers
Some go this way, some go others
Some are children, some are mothers

They gave me toys told me to play
They told me every single day
Always saying what to do
Did this ever happen to you?

And if I followed her myself
There's a bottle on the shelf
Before they finished with my life
We'd all up-ed and paid the price

When I was young they said to me
Don't play with electricity
Always saying what to do
Did this ever happen to you?

Anything Is Good Enough

In the middle of a crowded room
I'm sitting I'm all alone
And I am looking at what I see
In the middle of an empty screen

Chorus:
TV
Anything is good enough for me
Anything is good enough

As the camera looks in his face
Eyes are staring in another place
And I'm looking at what I see
Nothing perfect on TV

(chorus)

Anything is good enough, yeah
Anything is good enough
Enough
Enough

As the camera looks into my eyes
You can tell I'm telling lies

(chorus)
Good enough for me

A Product of...

I live alone
Above the station
A product of...
My Lord's creation
And in this town of disco heat
The dancing of a thousand feet

Chorus:
Nah Nah, Nah Nah, Nah Nah,
oh, oh, oh
Nah Nah, Nah Nah, Nah
(chorus)

I work inside the children's city
They treat me as the Lord and maker
And in this town of stops and starts
The beating of a thousand hearts

(chorus)

I can see
Just by using my eyes I can see
It's really no surprise in the park
Along the pathway I can walk
In a sullen way

Late at night
I'm walking back
Funny music inside my head
And when my imagination runs
The shooting of a thousand guns

(chorus 'til the end of time)

Perfect Game

Somebody's crying now
His head is full of pain
Take him to the building
where they're playing the perfect game
Perfect game
Perfect game

He's standing at the window
to watch the falling rain
No matter how he sees it
the view remains the same
Perfect game
Perfect game

They don't know what to call him
He doesn't have a name
But they still know how to force him
to keep playing the perfect game

A set of perfect criminals
is hard to criticize
When your watching the perfect crime
through a pair of perfect eyes
Perfect eyes
Perfect eyes

When everybody else is simply wondering why we came
Maybe it's because we're all playing the perfect game
Perfect game
Perfect game

They don't know what to call us
Because we don't have a name
But they still know how to force us
to keep playing the perfect game

So if you want to find out why you call someone insane
Just sit inside the building where they're playing the perfect game

Perfect game, Perfect game
Perfect game, Perfect game

They don't know what to call you
Because you don't have a name
But they still know how to force you
to keep playing the perfect game

Perfect game, Perfect game
Perfect game, Perfect game
(to fade)
