Another square day
And another square week
And another square year
And another square lifetime

If you turn me on like you turn it on
Big square people
If you look at me the way you watch tv
Big square people
You're digging it round when it should be square
Big square people
When the screen is blank there's no-one there
Big square people

I've seen you watching it day and night
You don't miss the big game or big fight
All those dimensions all those race (? )
Come in action (? )
The world's full of greed and envy and lust
If they don't get you the (? ) must
Turn on at daybreak before you're awake
I turn it off now

Big square people
(repeat)

Turn of the brightness, the colour and sound
The big square people in sensorround


Before too long the damage is done
To big square people television is such fun
They come in action from every direction
With every booster and (? )
They're sending signals from satellite sky
Soon you're on tv and you don't know why
Hey, come on down, you're looking good
If they said 'jump' I really think that you would
'cause tv is God and heaven's hollywood

You're digging it round when it should be square
Big square people
When the screen is blank there's no-one there
Big square people

Get up from the chair you look like a slug (? )
Take the tip from the tv go and find a job
But there are no jobs, there is no pay
'but that's not what the people on the tv say'
They say to me 'i'll be what you wanna be,
Let's join the army maybe see the sea'

Turn of the brightness, the colour and sound
Turn of the (? ) let's going around
Turn on at daybreak before you're awake
Let's turn it off now before it's too late
(turn it off !)

. . .


Don't stop for no-one
And then it goes on
(repeat 3 times)

One day my father said to me
'It's time for you to leave,
But don't wait for me, it's pre-destiny'
Don't wait around for someone to believe in
You know, history don't stop for no-one
Just like Moses waiting on the mountain
You know, history don't stop for no-one
Don't hang around in Babylonian Gardens
You know, history don't stop for no-one
The pyramids are just a tourist attraction
You know, history don't stop for no-one

Don't stop for no-one
And then it goes on
(repeat)

Sometimes I told I must confess
To a life of tenderness
But I just repeat what he said to me:
'Don't close your eyes 'cuz seeing is believing'
You know, history don't stop for no-one
Just like a child, fighting for a meaning
You know, history don't stop for no-one
Don't dream too long, it's time to awake now
You know, history don't stop for no-one
Like sleeping beauty waiting for a kiss now
You know, history don't stop for no-one
I think you know the way it's gonna go now
You know, history don't stop for no-one
From Aztech kings to New York queens

And then it goes on

If that's why they call him Go-Go Brown
He'd say (?)
If that's why some people put him down
He'd say it costs his name as Go-Go Brown

All the girls in town
Used to follow him around
Go-Go Brown
Go-Go Brown

All the boys would sing
We're gonna make this Go-Go king
Go-Go Brown
Go-Go Brown

Go-Go Brown is the smartest guy by far
A brand new girlfriend and a brand new car
The girls all thought that he was heaven-sent
'One day this boy will be a president'

All the church bells ring
When that Go-Go used to sing
Go-Go Brown
Go-Go Brown

Here the people say
'He's gonna be someone someday'
Go-Go Brown
Go-Go Brown

Then one day some bad men came to call
And Go-Go knew it's time to take a fall
He's been smoking since the age of ten
He took some crack, he sold some smack
And now he's in the pen

All the girls in town
Used to follow him around
Go-Go Brown
Go-Go Brown

All the boys would sing
We're gonna make this Go-Go king
Go-Go Brown
Go-Go Brown

He raised them all
Yes he do
He faced the wall
Yes he did
He stood tall
Yes he do
Who did he let down
Just one man that's Go-Go Brown (?)

All the church bells ring
When that Go-Go used to sing
Go-Go Brown
Go-Go Brown

Here the people say
'He's gonna be someone someday'
Go-Go Brown
Go-Go Brown

All the girls in town
Used to follow him around
Go-Go Brown
Go-Go Brown

All the boys would sing
We're gonna make that Go-Go king
Go-Go Brown
Go-Go Brown

All the girls in town
Used to follow him around
Go-Go Brown
Go-Go Brown

You can see them on the corners
They are short and tall (and tall)

We are all over the city
Dangerous
'cause we've got nothing to do

Decadence in dark blue pants
Beating on the beat
(? ) 45's
It's where the thick boys meet (thick boys meet)

Dangerous
'cause we're down and dirty

And we're looking for you

Everybody knows
That when that bad man shows
'we're gonna beat that beat that someone to death'
'we're gonna beat that someone to death'
'we're gonna beat that beat that someone to death'


'we're gonna beat that someone to death'
Everybody knows

We know what we have to do
But I'm not being hard on you
It's hard on me (hard on me)
I set you free (I set you free)
I know that you are hurting too
But I'll put my trust in you
Now trust in me (trust in me)
I set you free (I set you free)
From a to let it be (a to let it be)
From b to can't you see
Count on me
I set you free (I set you free)
Let me set you free
This can't be where you want to be
Set your wings in motion (motion)
Across that land and sea (? )

Times are bad and times are good
I'd stay forever if I could
Can't you see ? (can't you see ? )
I set you free (I set you free)
Oh, when I see a falling star (see a falling star)
I wonder where you are
So far from me
I set you free (I set you free)

I'm moving right on (moving right on)
Gonna get some distance now (gonna get some distance now)
I'll leave the town now (leave the town now)


Gonna get away somehow (gonna get away somehow)
Leave me alone (leave me alone)
Gonna get some distance now (gonna get some distance now)
I'm on my own (I'm on my own)
Gonna get away somehow (gonna get away somehow)
When your friends begin to say (friends begin to say)
It should have happened yesterday
Count on me (count on me)
I set you free (I set you free)
Look up to the sky (look up to the sky)
Open up your eyes and wonder why
It's got to be
I set you free (I set you free)

And when I'm in control
I'm body and I'm soul
And when I'm number one
I'm the moon and I'm the sun
And when I'm standing tall (stone by stone)
I'm the strongest anyone (I'll build it up)
This is how I had it planned
I don't wanna hold your hand ('till your're gone)
When I'm in control
I'm body and soul
And when I'm number one
I'm the moon and I'm the sun
This is how I had it planned (stone by stone)
I don't wanna hold your hand ('till your're gone)

Train of love in motionHeading for the oceanIt's powered by emotionTrain of love in motion

Train of love in motionHeading for the oceanIt's powered by emotionTrain of love in motionHeading for the oceanIt's powered by emotionTrain of love in motionHeading for the oceanIt's powered by emotionTrain of love in motion

It's not my responsibility
If you say you love me
(ooooooh)
(repeat paragraph)

I know for sometime
One day I would see you
(? ) what you say
Did I get it right
Is it you and me tonight ?
And you looked at me
And I knew we'd be together
(be together)
You feel it too
What can we do
(feel, what can you do)
Come on, move up to me
I wanna whisper in your ear now
(do you want me)
When I get you home
We're gonna be alone
Disconnect the phone
When we wake up
You know the room is full of sunshine
We close our eyes and make a wish

It's not my responsibility
If you say you love me
(listen to what I say)
(ooooooh)
It's not my responsibility
If you say you love me
(it's true)
(ooooooh)

Hey ! you call me back
'cause I'm not there when you want me
(do you want me)
The job on the phone
Every night and day


I've got to get away
And on that we kiss
But I never said I loved you
(I love you)
Let's take it slow
You've got to, got to let it go

It's not my responsibility
If you say you love me
(ooooooh)
(repeat paragraph)

(want you back, I need you back)
(ooooooh)
(repeat paragraph 5 times)

(want you back)
(I know I do)
(I need you back)
(I feel you do)
(want you back)
(I see you do)
(I need you back)
(I know you do)
(repeat paragraph)

What do you see
When you're looking straight at me
When I look at you
I tell you what I see
You don't belong to me
Sometimes it's true
You're gonna leave it when it's over
(it's over)
I close my eyes and make a wish

It's not my responsibility
If you say you love me
(ooooooh)
(repeat paragraph 5 times until fade)
