Tel Aviv (Instrumental)

See them walking hand in hand across the bridge at midnight
Heads turning as the lights flashing out are so bright
And walk right out to the four line track
There's a camera rolling on her back
On her back
And I sense a rhythm 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 she's falling
And miles of sharp blue water coming in where she lies
The diving man's 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 you've just made a million
Fuses pumping live heat twisting out on a wire
Take one last glimpse into the night
I'm touching close
I'm holding bright, holding tight
Give me shudders in a whisper,
Take me up til I'm shooting a star

Girls on Film (she's more than a lady)
Girls on Film
Girls on Film (Two minutes later)
Girls on Film
Girls on Film (see you together)
Girls on Film
Girls on Film (see you later)
Girls on Film

(fade out)

. . .



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
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?
This is Planet Earth, you're looking at Planet Earth
Bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop this is Planet Earth

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 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

I never found out what made you leave
And now the day is over just an hour to go

I tried to phone last night
But you didn't answer
Just left me ringing on the line

Outside is there anyone out there, anyone else outside
Outside, love, is there anyone out there, anyone else outside

My face in the mirror shows a break in time
A crack in the ocean which does not align

I tried to sleep last night
But I've caught your dreaming
About days we used to wonder away

Outside is there anyone out there, anyone else outside
Outside, love, is there anyone out there, anyone else outside

Look out of the window maybe you can call by your name
Another night over babe, another light coves in vain

Oh... tried to phone last night
But you never answered
Just left me ringing in the air

Is there anyone out there?

. . .



When your nine day feed is up
And you've drained your loving cup
come stands reeling to the shore

When the brave are coming out
the dry fight and the dusty shout
See you crawling on the floor

And diamond stars shine glitter bright
gorging your sanhedralite
Words are falling to the floor

Glands stand pouring fruit tree
now they glisten on the water line
See how you are at the shore--

I'm moving Chrissie pretty flowers in the shutter maze
haul up all your petty desires
Leave it lying down before

Wash away the rust disease
Of your brown town days in our silver sea
Leave it dying at the door
Feather yell you've time to leave

Open out your
Arms and
Breathe
Breathe
Breathe
Breathe

. . .



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 gun smoke
drifting in our room
so easy to disturb
with a thought
with a whisper...
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
But being close,
how could I let you go
without some feeling
some precious sympathy following

Fear hangs a plane of gun smoke
drifting in our room
so easy to disturb
with a thought
with a whisper...
with a careless memory

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?
cuz I don't want to meet you
I think I'd die--
I think I'd laugh at you--
I think 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...

Please please tell me now
Please please tell me now
Please please tell me now
Please please tell me now

I made a run, 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 pictures
that 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 '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

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 '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
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?

. . .



Standing on the edge of the quay
no lights flashes on the water for me
Fog in my mind, darkens in my eyes
silently screaming for a distant sound

Ripple river yellows
rising for a breath of breeding and drowns
Stillness overcomes me in the night
Listen... to the rising water moan

I'm waiting…
waiting, for the Nightboat
I'm waiting…
waiting, for the Nightboat

Shadows all through me, shudder away
echoes me, echoes me...
Am I alone, or is the river alive?
‘cause it echoes me, echoes me, echoes me...

I'm waiting…
waiting, for the nightboat
I'm waiting…
waiting, for the nightboat

Waiting... (I'm waiting)
waiting for the nightboat…
I'm waiting... (I'm waiting)
waiting for the nightboat...
Waiting, for the nightboat
I'm waiting…
waiting for the nightboat...

I'm waiting for the nightboat...

I've been in this grass here for the last 10 hours
My clothes are dirty but my mouth isn't dry
How does it happen?
Does it fly through the air?
Oh, I gave up asking days away

I gave up asking
days away

And now I'm lying here waiting for the Sound of Thunder
Waiting for the Sound of Thunder

Here I am, I'm a dotted line
cut the corner, stick me to your door
I'm the man who stepped off the path

And I just lie here
It's what I was made for

And now my eyes are closing,
but I still feel the land
Leaning out for the touch of my hand
The world spins so fast that I might fly off
The world spins so fast that I might fly off
The world spins so fast, I might fly off

Waiting for the Sound of Thunder

I'm waiting for the Sound of Thunder
I'm waiting for the Sound of Thunder
I'm waiting for the Sound of Thunder

Friends of mine
They said they were friends of mine
Said they were passing time
More like a waste of time

Close the door
I said close the door
I've told you twice before
What are you waiting for?

Georgie Davies is coming out
No more heroes, we twist and shout
Oh no, not me, I'm not too late,
And I know that I'm not taking any more
Rocky Picture has lost his gun
Leave him out now, he's having fun
Oh no, not me, I'm not too late
And I know that I'm not waiting any more. Hey hey!

Through the eyes, don't have to advertise
When will you realize I'm sick of your alibis?

Running cold
The water's running cold
It's time that you were told
I think you're growing old

Georgie Davies is coming out
No more heroes, we twist and shout
Oh no, not me, I'm not too late,
And I know that I'm not waiting any more
Rocky Picture has lost his gun
Leave him out now, he's having fun
Oh no, not me, I'm not too late,
And I know that I'm not taking any more. Hey hey!

(pictures on the wall they're all friends of yours
see them sell your alibi it runs you by
think yourself lucky!)

Friends of mine
They said they were friends of mine
They were just wasting time
Out on the dotted line

The money's gone I've known it all along
Why don't you say I'm wrong?
Why don't they drop the bomb?

'Cause Georgie Davies is coming out
No more heroes, we twist and shout,
Oh no, not me, I'm not too late,
and I know that I'm not waiting any more
Rocky Picture's thrown away his gun
Leave him out now, he's having fun
Oh no, not me, I'm not too late,
And I know that I'm not taking any more

What you doing, friends of mine
Holding back now, friends of mine
I've always heard you calling....

. . .

Tel Aviv
