IS THERE SOMETHING I SHOULD KNOW?

please please tell me now · please please tell me now · please please tell me now · please please tell me now

I made a break I run out yesterday · tried to find my mountain hideaway · maybe next year maybe no go · I know you're watching me every minute of the day yeah · I've seen the signs and the looks and the pictures they give your game away yeah · there's a dream that strings the road · with broken glass for us to hold · and I cut so far before I had to say

please please tell me now · is there something i should know · is there something I should say · that would make you come my way · do you feel the same 'cause you don't let it show

people stare and cross the road from me · and jungle drums they all clear the way for me · can you read my mind can you see in the snow · and fiery demons all dance when you walk through that door · don't say you're easy on me 'cuase you're about as easy as a nuclear war · 'cause the dream that strings the road with broken glass for us to hold · and I got so far before I had to say

please please tell me now · is there something I should know · is there something I should say · that would make you come my way · do you feel the same 'cause you don't let it show

please please tell me now · is there something I should know · is there something I should say · that would make you come my way · please please tell me now · can you see what makes me blow · can you see how much I die · everytime is passing by · please please tell me now · is there something I should know · is there something I should say · that would make you come my way

HUNGRY LIKE THE WOLF

is anybody hungry?

darken the city night is a wire · steam in the subway the earth is afire · do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do · woman you want me give me a sign · and catch my breathing even closer behind · do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do

in touch with the ground · I'm on the hunt I'm after you · smell like I sound I'm lost in a crowd · and I'm hungry like the wolf · straddle the line in discord and rhyme · I'm on the hunt I'm after you · mouth is alive all running inside · and I'm hungry like the wolf

stalked in the forest too close to hide · I'll be upon you by the moonlight side · do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do · high blood drumming on your skin it's so tight · you feel my heat I'm just a moment behind · do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do

in touch with the ground · I'm on the hunt I'm after you · smell like I sound I'm lost and I'm found · and I'm hungry like the wolf · strut on a line it's discord and rhyme · I howl and I whine I'm after you · mouth is alive with juices like wine · and I'm hungry like the wolf

hungry like the wolf · hungry like the wolf · hungry like the wolf

we're burning the ground I break from the crowd · I'm on the hunt I'm after you · I smell like I sound I'm lost in a crowd · and I'm hungry like the wolf · strut on a line it's discord and rhyme · I'm on the hunt I'm after you · mouth is alive all running inside · and I'm hungry like the wolf

we're burning the ground I break from the crowd · I'm on the hunt I'm after you · I smell like I sound I'm lost and I'm found · and I'm hungry like the wolf · we strut on a line it's discord and rhyme · I howl and I whine I'm after you · mouth is alive all running inside · and I'm hungry like the wolf

NEW RELIGION

I've been now sauntering out and down a path sometime · come on it takes me nowhere which I knew · faces everywhere pulling grins and signs and things · telling me not there man it's no go

I need a reason · I can't think without one now · too much learning got to show · call it treason · maybe catch her don't know how · too many things too much to know

I'll bring my timing in seagulls gather on the wind · lady screaming lady leave me out · 'cause sometimes people stare · sitting down electric chair · and steaming crowds they gather and they shout

take another chance boy carry the fight you can take him if you're fast

don't know why this evil bothers me

didn't I say if you're holdin' on you'd be laughing at the last

so why is he trying to follow me?

I get along fine with them friends of mine but you have to make a choice

how many reasons do they need?

you're singing out of tune but the beat's in time and it's us who make the noise

I might just believe this time

I'm talking for free · I can't stop myself it's a new religion oh · I've something to see · I can't help myself it's a new religion

okay my reasoning might be clouded by the sun · but someone sees the departmental lie · you know this peacetime jabbing fist in stabbing knife · only get one look before you die

take another chance boy carry the fight you can take him if you're fast

don't know why this evil bothers me

didn't I say if you're holdin' on you'd be laughing at the last

so why is he trying to follow me?

I get along fine with them friends of mine but you have to make a choice

how many reasons do they need?

you're singing out of tune but the beat's in time and it's us who make the noise

I might just believe this time

I'm talking for free · I can't stop myself it's a new religion oh · I've something to see · I can't help myself it's a new religion

gotta take pay for the saints 'n' sinners in regulation hats 'n' scarves 'n' things · walking in formation down the lane they carry their cross make a church bell ring · army majors pull a mean cool truth there lying in a swimming pool · searching for the undeniable truth · that a man is just a fool

take another chance boy carry the fight you can take him if you're fast

don't know why this evil bothers me

didn't I say if you're holdin' on you'd be laughing at the last

so why is he trying to bother me?

I get along fine with them friends of mine but you have to make a choice

how many reasons do they need?

you're singing out of tune but the beat's in time and it's us who make the noise

I might just believe this time

I'm talking for free · I can't stop myself it's a new religion oh · I've something to see · I can't help myself it's a new religion yeah · I'm talking for free · I can't stop myself it's a new religion oh · I've something to see · I can't help myself it's a new religion boy · new religion yeah · new religion

SAVE A PRAYER

you saw me standing by the wall corner of a main street · and the lights are flashing on your window sill · all alone ain't much fun so you're looking for the thrill · and you know just what it takes and where to go

don't say a prayer for me now · save it 'til the morning after · no don't say a prayer for me now · save it 'til the morning after

feel the breeze deep on the inside look down into the well · if you can you'll see the world in all his fire · take a chance like all dreamers you can't find another way · you don't have to dream it all just live a day

don't say a prayer for me now · save it 'til the morning after · no don't say a prayer for me now · save it 'til the morning after · save it 'til the morning after · save it 'til the morning after

pretty looking road I try to hold the rising floods that fill my skin · don't ask me why I'll take my promise I'll melt the ice · and you wanted to dance so I asked you to dance · but fear is in your soul · some people call it a one night stand but we can call it paradise

save a prayer 'til the morning after · save a prayer 'til the morning after · save a prayer 'til the morning after · save a prayer 'til the morning after

THE WILD BOYS

the wild boys are calling on their way back from the fire · in august moon's surrender to a dust cloud on the rise · wild boys fallen far from glory · reckless and so hungered on the razors edge you trail · because there's murder by the roadside in a sore afraid new world

they tried to break us · looks like they'll try again

wild boys never lose it · wild boys never chose this way · wild boys never close your eyes · wild boys always shine

you got sirens for a welcome · there's bloodstain for your pain · and your telephone been ringing wile you're dancing in the rain · wild boys wonder where is glory · where is all you angels now the figureheads have fell · and lovers war with arrows over secrets they could tell

they tried to tame you · looks like they'll try again

wild boys never lose it · wild boys never chose this way · wild boys never close your eyes · wild boys always shine

THE SEVENTH STRANGER

those words are all remainders · echoes growing in the heart of twilight · they lay back laughing at naivety's star · awaken all those whispers · the dusty shadow of a passing favour · I wouldn't say that you were ruthless or right · I couldn't see from so far

was I chasing after rainbows · one thing for sure you never answered when I called · and I wiped away the water from my face · to look through the eyes of a stranger · for rumours in the wake of such a lonely crowd · trading in my shelter for danger · I'm changing my name just as the sun goes down · in the eyes of the stranger

can't tell the real from reflection · when all these faces look the same to me · in every city such a desolate dream · some days are strange to number · some say the seventh sounds a little bit stranger · a year of sunday's seems to have drifted right by · I could have sworn in one evening

I'm not seized in desperation · no steel reproaches on the table from before · but I still can feel those splinters of ice · I look through the eyes of a stranger · for rumours in the wake of such a lonely crowd · trading in my shelter for danger · I'm changing my name just as the sun goes down · in the eyes of the stranger

I must be chasing after rainbows · one thing for sure you never answer when I call · and I wipe away the water from my face · to look through the eyes of a stranger · for rumours in the wake of such a lonely crowd · trading in my shelter for danger · I'm changing my name just as the sun goes down · walking away like a stranger · from rumours in the wake of such a lonely crowd · trading in my shelter for danger · I'm changing my name just as the sun goes down · in the eyes of the stranger

in the eyes of the stranger · in the eyes of the stranger

THE CHAUFFEUR

out on the tar plains · the glides are moving · all looking for a new place to drive · you sit beside me · so newly charming · sweating dewdrops glisten freshing your side

and the sun drips down bedding heavy behind · the front of your dress all shadowy lined · the droning engine throbs in time with your beating heart

way down the lane away · living for another day · the aphids climb up in the drifting haze · swim seagull in the sky · towards that hollow western isle · my envied lady holds you fast in her gaze

and the sun drips down bedding heavy behind · the front of your dress all shadowy lined · the droning engine throbs in time with your beating heart · and the sun drips down bedding heavy behind · the front of your dress all shadowy lined · the droning engine throbs in time with your beating heart

sing blue silver

and watching lovers part · I feel you smiling · what glass splinters lie so deep in your mind · to tear out from your eyes · with a word to stiffen brooding lies · and I'll only watch you leave me further behind

sing blue silver · sing sing blue silver

UNION OF THE SNAKE

telegram force and ready · I knew this was a big mistake · there's a fine line drawing my senses together · and I think it's about to break

if I listen close I can hear them singers oh · voices in your body coming through on the radio

the union of the snake is on the climb · moving up it's gonna race it's gonna break · through the borderline

nightshades on a warning · give me strength at least give me a light · give me anything even sympathy · there's a chance you could be right

if I listen close I can hear them singers oh · voices in your body coming through on the radio

the union of the snake is on the climb · moving up it's gonna race it's gonna break · through the borderline · the union of the snake is on the climb · it's gonna race it's gonna break · gonna move up to the borderline

if I listen close I can hear them singers oh · voices in your body coming through on the radio

PLANET EARTH

only came outside to watch the nightfall with the rain · I heard you making patterns rhyme · like some new romantic looking for the tv sound · switch it off · you'll see I'm right some other time

look now look all around · there's not sign of life · voices another sound · can you hear me now · this is planet earth · you're looking at planet earth · bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop · this is planet earth

my head is stuck on something precious · let me know if you're coming down to land · is there anybody out there trying to get through · my eyes are so cloudy I can't see you

look now look all around · there's no sign of life · voices another sound · can you hear me now · this is planet earth · you're looking at planet earth · bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop · this is planet earth · bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop · mira planet earth · bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop · calling planet earth · bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop · this is planet earth

CARELESS MEMORIES

so soon · just after you've gone · my senses sharpen · but it always takes · so damned long · before I feel how much my eyes have darkened

fear hangs a plane of gunsmoke · drifting in our room

so easy to disturb · with a thought · with a whisper

with a careless memory · with a careless memory

on the table · signs of love lie scattered · and the walls break · with a crashing within · it's not as though · as though you really mattered to me · but being close · how could I let you go · without some feeling · some precious sympathy following

fear hangs a plane of gunsmoke · drifting in our room

so easy to disturb · with a thought · with a whisper

with a careless memory · with a careless memory · with a careless memory · with a careless memory

oh I walk out into the sun · I try to find a new day · but the whole place · it just screams in my eyes · where are you now · 'cause I don't want to meet you · I think I'd die · I think I'd laugh at you · I know I'd cry · what am I supposed to do · follow you

outside the thoughts · come flooding back now · I just try to forget you

so easy to disturb · with a thought · with a whisper

with a careless memory · with a careless memory · with a careless memory · with a careless memory

with a careless memory

look out · look out · look out · look out

(I'M LOOKING FOR) CRACKS IN THE PAVEMENT (1984)

I shed my skin · as the party was about to begin · I'm light years away but I'm walking back tonight · of all nights · when I should be feeling just right · don't want to be in public · my head is full of chopstick · I don't like it

something on my mind · is breaking open doors I had sealed up before · something on my mind · makes me run when I thought I'd run too far

I say somebody shaking my tree · maybe that somebody is me · I'm standing in the light but I'm making a break for the shadows on the cinema wall · they should be mine but I'm not that tall · now I'm saying this in private · if I had a car I'd drive it insane

something on my mind · is breaking open doors I'd sealed up before · something on my mind · makes me run when I thought I'd run too far · something on my mind · is breaking open doors I'd sealed up before · something on my mind · makes me run when I thought I'd run too far

I'm looking for cracks in the pavement

something on my mind · is breaking open doors I had sealed up before · something on my mind · makes me run when I thought I'd run too far · something on my mind · is breaking open doors I'd sealed up before · something on my mind · makes me run when I thought I'd run too far

and I run too far · and I run too far
