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 stay 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 'cos 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 You're about as easy as a nuclear war Cos 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 'cos 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 Every time it passes by Please please tell me now What it takes to make you show Is there something I should know Is there something I should know

The Reflex
You've gone too far this time But I'm dancing on the valentine I tell you somebody's fooling around With my chances on the danger line I'll cross that bridge when I find it Another day to make my stand High time is no time for deciding If I should find a helping hand [CHORUS] So why don't you use it? Try not to bruise it Buy time don't lose it The reflex is an only child he's waiting in the park The reflex is in charge of finding treasure in the dark And watching over lucky clover isn't that bizarre Every little thing the reflex does Leaves you answered with a question mark I'm on a ride and I want to get off But they won't slow down the roundabout I sold the Renoir and the TV set Don't want to be around when this gets out [CHORUS] Oh the reflex what a game he's hiding all the cards The reflex is in charge of finding treasure in the dark And watching over lucky clover isn't that bizarre Every little thing the reflex does Leaves you answered with a question mark

A View to a Kill
Meeting you, with a view to a kill Face to face in secret places, feel the chill. Nightfall covers me, but you know the plans I'm making, Still oversea, could it be the whole earth opening wide A sacred why, a mystery gaping inside The weekends why Until we dance into the fire The 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..... Choice for you, is the view to a kill Between the shades assassination standing still. First crystal tears, fall of snowflakes on your body First time in years, to drench your skin with lovers, rosy stain A chance to find a 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 Two 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

Ordinary World
Came in from a rainy Thursday On the avenue Thought I heard you talking softly I turned on the lights, the TV And the radio Still I can't escape the ghost of you What has happened to it all? Crazy, some are saying Where is the life that I recognize? Gone away But I won't cry for yesterday There's an ordinary world Somehow I have to find And as I try to make my way To the ordinary world I will learn to survive Passion or coincidence Once prompted you to say "Pride will tear us both apart" Well now pride's gone out the window Cross the rooftops Run away Left me in the vacuum of my heart What is happening to me? Crazy, some'd say Where is my friend when I need you most? Gone away But I won't cry for yesterday There's an ordinary world Somehow I have to find And as I try to make my way To the ordinary world I will learn to survive Papers in the roadside Tell of suffering and greed Here today, forgot tomorrow Ooh, here besides the news Of holy war and holy need Ours is just a little sorrowed talk And I don't cry for yesterday There's an ordinary world Somehow I have to find And as I try to make my way To the ordinary world I will learn to survive Every one Is my world, I will learn to survive Any one Is my world, I will learn to survive Any one Is my world Every one Is my world

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 you down into your well If you can, you'll see the world in all his fire Take a chance (Like all dreamers 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 till the morning after Pretty looking road, Try to hold the rising floods that fill my skin Don't ask me why I'll keep my promise, 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 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 Save it 'til the morning after Save it 'til the morning after Save a prayer 'til the morning after

Rio
Moving on the floor now babe you're a bird of paradise Cherry ice cream smile, I suppose it's very nice With a step to your left and a flick to the right You catch that mirror way out west You know you're something special and you look like you're the best Her name is Rio and she dances on the sand Just like that river twisting through a dusty land And when she shines she really shows you all she can Oh Rio, Rio dance across the Rio Grande I've seen you on the beach and I've seen you on TV Two, of a billion stars It means so much to me Like a birthday or a pretty view But then I'm sure that you know it's just for you Her name is Rio and she dances on the sand Just like that river twisting through a dusty land And when she shines she really shows you all she can Oh Rio, Rio dance across the Rio Grande Hey now, wooh, look at that Did he really run you down? At the end of the drive The lawmen arrive You make me feel alive, alive, alive I'll take my chance 'Cause luck is on my side I tell you something I know what you're thinking I'm telling you something, I know what you're thinking Her name is Rio and she dances on the sand Just like that river twists across the dusty land And when she shines she really shows you all she can Oh Rio, Rio dance across the Rio Grande Her name is Rio, she don't need to understand I might find her if I'm looking like I can Oh Rio, Rio hear them shout across the land From mountains in the North down to the Rio Grande Do-do-do-do-do-do-do...

Hungry Like the Wolf
Darken the city, night is a wire Steam in the subway, earth is a afire Do do do do do do do dodo dododo dodo Woman, you want me, give me a sign And catch my breathing even closer behind Do do do do do do do dodo dododo dodo 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 with juices like wine 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 dodo dododo dodo 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 dodo dododo dodo In touch with the ground I'm on the hunt I'm after you Scent and a 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, all running inside And I'm hungry like the wolf Hungry like the wolf Hungry like the wolf Hungry like the wolf 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 Strut on a line, it's discord and rhyme I'm on the hunt, I'm after you Mouth is alive with juices like wine And I'm hungry like the wolf

Girls on Film
See them walking hand in hand across the bridge at midnight Heads turning as the lights flashing out are so bright Then walk right out to the fourline track Theres a camera rolling on her back on her back And I sense the rhythms humming in a frenzy All the way down her spine Girls on film Girls on film Girls on film Girls on film Lipstick cherry all over the lens as shes falling In miles of sharp blue water coming in where she lies The diving mans coming up for air Cause the crowd all love pulling dolly by the hair, by the hair And she wonders how she ever got here As she goes under again Girls on film (two minutes later) Girls on film Girls on film (got your picture) Girls on film Wider baby smiling youve just made a million Fuses pumping live heat twisting out on a wire Take one last glimpse into the night Im touching close Im holding bright, holding tight Give me shudders with a whisper take me high Till I Im shooting a star Girls on film (shes more than a lady) Girls on film Girls on film (see you together) Girls on film Girls on film (see you later) Girls on film Girls on film (two minutes later)

Planet Earth
Only came outside to watch the night fall with the rain I heard you making patterns rhyme Like some new romantic looking for the TV sound You'll see I'm right some other time 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 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? Is 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 This calling planet earth Bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop This looking at planet earth Bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop This is planet earth

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 oh oh... Voices in your body coming through on the radio, ho,ho... 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 oh oh... Voices in your body coming through on the radio, ho,ho... 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.. Moving up, it's gonna race, it's gonna break through the borderline If I listen close I can hear them singers, oh oh oh... Voices in your body coming through on the radio, ho,ho... 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.. 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.

I Don't Want Your Love
I don't mind If you're keeping someone else behind I don't care 'Cause you've got something I can share Hey, take your chance Even if it's only Only while we're dancing in the light Of your second sight Because when you understand me You might feel good around me now I don't want your love To bring me down I don't want your love So turn it around I won't turn you out If you've got someone else, someone else you care about Because you must realise My obsessive fascination is in your imagination Now back it up! I don't want your love To bring me down (I don't want your love, I don't want your love) I don't want your love So turn it around (I don't want your love, I don't want your love) Your rhythm is the power To move me It's something you control Completely I don't want your love I don't want your love (I don't want your love) I like noise 'Cause I like waking up the house I cannot sit down I can't shut my mouth But when you understand me You might feel good around me Now back it up! I don't want your love To bring me down (I don't want your love, I don't want your love) I don't want your love So turn it around (I don't want your love, I don't want your love) Your rhythm is the power To move me It's something you control Completely I don't want your love I don't want your love (I don't want your love)

All She Wants Is
All she wants is All she wants is All she wants is Spend your money on the corner now Know you've gotta save some for the shoeshine boys You've been pulling 'em by the hand inside Oh, collecting all your toys If you need a lead to heaven now Just stick around You're going to be there What do you dare? What do you care? What does your heart say now? All she wants is All she wants is All she wants is Divine intervention Couldn't keep the word from leaking out With your pleasure in suspension Not to mention what you hang it around If you need a lead to heaven, yeah A place to share In every position What do you dare? What do you care? What does your heart say now? All she wants is All she wants is All she wants is More... All she wants is...[repeat to fade]

Serious
Oh woman you make me feel Like I'm on fire Oh woman you make it real It's the only way for me So if we sometimes fight Doesn't mean we got problems Ain't always black and white Who cares anyway? Oooh, doesn't have to be serious Oooh, doesn't have to be serious Serious Doesn't have to be serious Doesn't have to be serious Oh baby you get so wild Too much understanding Oh baby you're such a child Full up on love and tears and crying Don't worry if you're confused We all tend to be sometimes The whole world is getting used It's just the way it is Maybe right Oooh, it maybe wrong Doesn't have to be serious Being hurt Isn't being strong Doesn't have to be serious Fighting for love Fighting for pain Oooh, doesn't have to be serious And if you win Oooh, what do you gain?

Skin Trade
Working on the weekend, baby. She's working all through the night. A jump into the deep end gave her The evidence she required. Takes five; she's got pearls. Don't fake it when it comes to making money. So she smiles. But that's cruel. If you know what she thinks If you knew what she was after. Sometimes she wonders, And she laughs in her frustration. [CHORUS] Would someone please explain The reason for this strange behaviour. In exploitation's name We must be working for the Skin Trade. Doctors of the revolution gave us The medicine we desired. Besides being absolutely painless It's a question of compromise. They got steel. So cool to get angry at the weekend And go back to school. So big deal; it's what rules. When it comes to making money, Say yes, please; thank you. Sometimes you wonder, and ask yourself the question. [CHORUS (Repeated)] I know the answer, but I'm asking you the question. [CHORUS (Repeat for FADE)]

Come Undone
Mine, immaculate dream made breath and skin I've been waiting for you Signed, with a home tattoo, Happy birthday to you was created for you (can't ever keep from falling apart At the seams Can't I believe you're taking my heart To pieces) Oh, it'll take a little time, Might take a little crime To come undone now [PRECHORUS] We'll try to stay blind To the hope and fear outside Hey child, stay wilder than the wind And blow me in to cry [CHORUS] Who do you need, who do you love When you come undone [repeat] [Verse 2] Words, playing me deja vu Like a radio tune I swear I've heard before Chill, is it something real Or the magic I'm feeding off your fingers (Can't ever keep from falling apart At the seams Can I believe you're taking my heart To pieces) Lost, in a snow filled sky, we'll make it alright To come undone now
