Yeah.

Gotta get me some
Gotta get me instant gratification.
Gimme new kicks,
Won't you show me new tricks
Without the ramifications.

Give it a try, don't be shy.
Well you know you might like it.
Never been to keen a timekeeper
But I'm a pure new pleasure seeker.

All the way from Venus.
Invading from Mars.
Don't let that come between us.
It's written in the stars.

Save me from fading afraid.
The tears of a fool on parade.
Quietly turn into stone.
Make me flesh and bone.

Well come on, oh.
You know that you want it now
Well come on, yeah.
You know that you want it and how.

Stimulation in body and cell.
For the good and misguided.
Desperation I'm under your spell.
Misunderstood and derided.

Speculation they kiss and they tell.
Misjudged and misquoted.
Fell into the abyss
I must have wanted this.

Another myth exploded.
Take a weight off your mind.
Trust the voice of experience.
I'll tell you little white lies.
Viva indifference.

Stoke up the fire
I'm all you require.
They won't set you alight.
Come and live your desire.

Come make me whole.
Body and soul, come make me whole ...
YEAH.

Well come on, oh, oh.
You know that you want it now.
Well come on, oh.
You know that you want it and how.
Well come yeah
You know that you want it now.
Well come yeah
You know that you want it now.

Gimme new kicks
I wanna go deeper
Never been to keen a timekeeper
Show me new tricks
You can get me on the beeper
I'm a pure new pleasure seeker.

Gimme new kicks
I wanna go deeper
Never been to keen a timekeeper
Show me new tricks
You can get me on the beeper
I'm a pure new pleasure seeker.

Be crime against passion
Not to itch that itch
Oh don't ask how it happened
This is it
All we have ever wanted
All we will ever need
Nothing can take his plan
It's written all over your face
Yeah
You know that you want it now
Come on
Oh ah you know that you want it how.
Come on
Yeah you know that you want it now.
Come on
Oh ah you know that you want it how.

Gimme new kicks
I wanna go deeper
Never been to keen a timekeeper
Show me new tricks
You can get me on the beeper
I'm a pure new pleasure seeker.

Come make me whole
Body and soul ....

Well it's a silly thing
That I've been wondering
Shall we drink a toast to
Absent minded friends
To all who turn the corner and
To those who went round the bend
Everybody raise your glasses
Drink and drown
Melancholy for the masses
Love come down

Well it's a silly thing
That I've been wondering
Maybe you will never
Bbridge the gulf
Baby you are just too sensitive
Are you numb enough?
Can we ever feel this
Impending void?
Have we become what we intended
To avoid?

Have you ever smiled for too long?
Till you're aching
Have you ever laughed till you cried?
Till your heart is breaking.

Have you ever smiled for too long?
Till you're aching
Have you ever laughed till your heart is breaking.
Well it'a a silly thing that I've been wondering.

Love is always riddled with
Selfishness
Few will find joy In their
Big success
From the sublime to the ridiculous in the
Blink of an eye.
Funny all too funny
You're a funny guy

If it'a too much to feel
Come this way my friend
Try to keep it unreal
Feels good to let yourself descend to pretend
We can transcend our everyday existances
No distances
How did we come undone?
Became what we've become

Have you ever smiled for too long?
Till you're aching.
Have you ever laughed till you cried?
Till your heart is breaking.

Have you ever smiled for too long?
Till you're aching.
Have you ever laughed till your heart is breaking.
How did we come undone?

Have you ever smiled for too long?
Till you're aching.
Became what we've become
Have you ever laughed till you cried?
Till your heart is breaking.
How did we come undone?

Have you ever smiled for too long?
Became what we've become
Have you ever laughed till your heart is breaking.
How did we come undone?

Became what we've become
How did we come undone?
Became what we've become

Yeah.

Indigo here we go.
Indigo here we go o o o

Do you know that hue of my new blue jeans?
Can you judge the mood of the preteens?
Shrink my dreams to fit me with those laser beams.
To roll with rollerina is never quite as it seems.

Rameses. Colossus. Rameses. Colossus

Indigo here we go.
Indigo here we go o o o

You only wanna be in a garage band.
You know you wanna give the gong a bang.
But nothing ever works out as you planned.
You only ever seem to can the canned.

You only wanna be in a garage band.
You know you wanna give the gong a bang.
But nothing ever works out as you planned.
You only ever seem to can the canned.

You only ever seem to can the canned.

Human Being
Being Human
Hands Free
Nothing touches me
Transmit, remote, unseen, unknown.
She's glad to be so very happy.
We've placed your call into a queuing system.

Listen to the pretty musik play let it numb your fragile system.
She had a friend to call her own.
But now she spends her time alone
What of the cost of growing up
Put me on hold to shut me up.

Just being is bewildering
Disconnect me from what is mine
Call waiting, waiting on the other line.

At you leisure dear.
Come get your pleasure here
I'm so glad to be so very happy.

And if you need something, anybody, anything.
Just being is bewildering.
Call me dial l o v e.
Just being is bewildering.
I'll do as I please, I won't get down on bended knees.

Kiss and. Make up. Don't you. Hang up.
Stay and. Play out. The whole scene.
Try to stay calm. How long.
Do you. Hold on. Do you. Dare to dream.

Just being is bewildering
Just being is bewildering
Just being is bewildering
Just being is bewildering

Change my face
But it won't erase
I changed my heart
When my soul changed hands
What if, when I find myself?
Made new plans.
I don't really like myself?
Underhand.
What if when I look inside?
Change my name.
I don't like much what I find?
But I remain the same.

Change my name I remain the same.
Change my name I remain the same.
Try again, another new beginning.

Change my course.
But I can't change my ways
D I V O R C E.
Will you count the days
What if, when I find myself?
Change my tune.
I don't really like myself?
But I stand on shifting sand.
What if when I look inside?
When I change my name.
My heart was changing hands.
Baby you'll never understand.

Change my name I remain the same.
Change my name I remain the same.
Try again, another new beginning.

If I, if I could just
Slip from the net
Try to forget
I hang my head
In regret
If I, if I could just
But it's too much
Slip from my skin
I try again
Another new beginning

Change my name I remain the same.
Change my name I remain the same.
Try again, another new beginning.

Change my name I remain the same.
Change my name I remain the same.
Try again, another new beginning.

Change my name I remain the same.
Change my name I remain the same.
Change my name I remain the same.
Change my name I remain the same.
Try again, another new beginning.

Change my name I remain the same.
Change my name I remain the same.
Change my name I remain the same.
I remain the same, I remain the same, I remain the same.

I feel like
A drop in
The ocean
Just a ripple
On expanding seas
If the shoe fits
I swear It
I will wear It
By this shining stiletto
I do decree

I'm half full and my glass is empty
Say so long and wave goodbye.

I've been searching
For new ways to get lost
There's got to be someplace
Somewhere I'll never be found
I can fend for myself
Can pretend to myself
I will play the wild rover
Though my horse may be blind

I'm half full and my glass In empty
Say so long and wave goodbye
All the binds that tie are there for a reason
You won't fond the prairie. It's folly to try.

[Thanx a lot to Kitty for all the lyrics!]

Oh Yeah... Yeah Oh Yeah
Dumb dumb. So sweet so young.
You're not supposed to swallow your bubble gum.

Chicken foot, dim suts
Knuckle head. Knuckle head
Look what you've done

Dumb dumbing it down
Take a look around.
You and me are free to be the dumbest in town.
Young gun. Excuse the pun.
The pandemonium has just begun

Dumb dumb.
We're dumbing it down.
Dumb dumb.
We're dumbing it down.

Dumb dumb.
We're dumbing it down.
Dumb dumb.
We're dumbing it down.

Got a head full of cotton wool
But life for me. Is never dull
To fulfi you have to fill full
I turned around and bought a round and poured another one
Proud fool you're just too cool for school
Full moon come soon
And when the moon is not quite round
Where can the missing bit be found
Be proud to be profound.

Dumb dumb
We're dumbing it down.
Dumb dumb.
We're dumbing it down.

Dumb dumb.
We're dumbing it down.
Dumb dumb.
We're dumbing it down.

Dumb dumb.
We're dumbing it down.
Dumb dumb.
We're dumbing it down.

Dumb dumb.
We're dumbing it down.
Dumb dumb.
We're dumbing it down.

Devoid
We are malcontent
We're not entirely sure of our intent
Brain washed we suffer memory loss
Ho hum play dumb come little boy lost.
Time bomb is ticking
Quickening, quickening quickening, quickening, quickening..

Dumb dumb.
We're dumbing it down.
Dumb dumb.
We're dumbing it down.

Dumb dumb.
We're dumbing it down.
Dumb dumb.
We're dumbing it down...

You're my last breathe
You're a breathe of fresh air to me
Hi, I'm empty
So tell me you care for me

You're the first thing
And the last thing on my mind
In your arms I feel
Sunshine

On a promise
A day dream yet to come
Time is upon us
Oh but the night is young

Flowers blossom
In the winter time
In your arms I feel
Sunshine

Give up yourself unto the moment
The time is now
Give up yourself unto the moment
Let's make this moment last

You may find yourself
Out on a limb for me
Could you expect it as
A part of your destiny

I give all I have
But it's not enough
And my patience is shot
So I'm calling your bluff

Give up yourself unto the moment
The time is now
Give up yourself unto the moment
Let's make this moment last

Give up yourself unto the moment
The time is now
Give up yourself unto the moment
Let's make this moment ... last

And we gave it time
All eyes are on the clock
But time takes too much time
Please make the waiting stop

And the atmosphere is charged.
In you I trust.
And I feel no fear as I
Do as I must.

Give up yourself unto the moment
The time is now
Give up yourself unto the moment
Let's make this moment last.

Give up yourself unto the moment
The time is now
Give up yourself unto the moment
Let's make this moment last

Tempted by fear
And I won't hesitate
The time is now
And I can't wait

I've been empty too long
The time is now
The tender night has gone
And the time has gone
Let's make this moment last
And the night is young
The time is now.
Let's make this moment last.

Give up yourself unto the moment
The time is now
Give up yourself unto the moment
Let's make this moment ... last.

Mother dear you'll never be my sister
Seek the advice of a solicitor
Mother dear you'll never be my sister

Show me
Empathy
Californian sensibilities
All my problems spring from my troubled upbringing
We need to go right back to the beginning
Disposessed from the outset
What you need is precisely what you get
Mother dear it should be you that's sitting here
On this couch.
Ouch.

Mother dear you'll never be my sister
Seek the advice of a solicitor
Mother dear you'll never be my sister
On my shoulder you're a chip
On my foot you're a blister
Mother dear you'll never be my sister
Seek the advice of a solicitor
Mother dear you'll never be my sister

So tell me what am I gonna do
They told me that maybe I could sue
And oh how the many
Were corrupted by the few
So I dance the mambo and the cha cha cha
I run you over in my beautiful car
Dearest darling mummy dearest
We can't bear to have you near us.

Mother dear you'll never be my sister
Seek the advice of a solicitor
Mother dear you'll never be my sister
On my shoulder you're a chip
On my foot you're a blister
Mother dear you'll never be my sister
Seek the advice of a solicitor
Mother dear you'll never be my sister

The blame lies in the family name
It's not my fault I did as I was taught
Escape to Mongolia or Timbuktu
I know somehow, somewhere
I'll be bumping into you

You see, I'm blameless
I had a mother who was shameless
No wonder my life collapsed
See I'm aimless
With all this analysis
I think I'm having a relapse

Mother dear you'll never be my sister
Seek the advice of a solicitor
Mother dear you'll never be my sister
On my shoulder you're a chip
On my foot you're a blister

Mother dear you'll never be my sister
Seek the advice of a solicitor
Mother dear you'll never be my sister
On my shoulder you're a chip
On my foot you're a blister

We love you
We do
We've taken advice
We may sue

You see I'm blameless
I shall remain nameless
You can't run away from the past
I know what her game is
But I've forgotten what my name is
I'm just too frightened to ask

Tell me what did you expect
What you made is precisely what you get
Precisely what you get
Precisely what you get

It's Your Problem

[No lyrics]

. . .


Nothing can stop you
Nothing can break you now
This is'ness has put you out of business

Bought and sold me
I'm lonely
I will admit I'm lonely
Just keep on walking
Act like you don't know me
Disown me
Go ahead disown me

It doesn't really matter
At all
Nothing seems to matter
Nothing can hurt you
Nothing can bring you down
Nothing at all
Nothing can break you
Nothing can take you now
Nothing at all

Let me down easy
Speak softly
Let me down gently
I realize it must be
Disorientating
What was I
What was I saying

Doesn't really matter
Anymore
Nothing seems to matter
Nothing at all
Nothing can hurt you
Nothing can bring you down
Nothing at all
Nothing can take you
Nothing can break your heart
Nothing at all

Nothing can hurt you
Nothing can bring you down
Nothing at all
Nothing can take you
Nothing can break your heart
Nothing at all

This is a matter
This is a matter
This is a matter
This is a matter

Nothing can wreck me
Nothing can take me down

Bingo Massacre

[No lyrics]

. . .


Yeah yeah yeah yeah
You've got something to hide
The party is humming
Something there's something inside
Makes you act like you're slumming

All right I might give you a try
But I know that I'll live to regret it
Go on spin me a line
I have cause to expect it
Lead me then lead me astray
Romeos tend to have eyes that stray

What will you say? What will you say?
What will you say when I ask you to stay?

Someone somewhere
There's more to you than meets the eye
Someone somewhere
Someone somewhere you left behind

Sweet child learn to relax
It's already decided
Sit back don't tamper with fate
Our stars have collided
Would you dance with me baby
The party is swinging
Don't just whistle the tune
When you should be singing

Easy momaceeta
Lay down next to me
Inside there somewhere your spirit is free
Frigid little Bridget
Lay down next to me
You're shaking, you're waking
Your spirit is free

Someone somewhere
There's more to you than meets the eye
Someone somewhere
Someone somewhere you left behind

Someone somewhere
There's more to you than meets the eye
Someone somewhere
Someone somewhere you left behind

Your spirit is free
Your spirit is free, baby
Listen to me
Your spirit is free baby

Yes my spirit is free
It just won't let me be
I'm empty. I'm hungry
My spirit is free

Ready me. Ready me
Ready me to receive
I believe, I believe.

Yes my spirit is free
It just won't let me be
I'm empty. I'm hungry
My spirit is free

Ready me.
Ready me to receive
I believe, I believe, I believe

Your spirit is free
Your spirit is free, baby

Someone somewhere
There's more to you than meets the eye
Someone somewhere
There's more to you than meets the eye

Someone somewhere
There's more to you than meets the eye
Someone somewhere
There's more to you than meets the eye

Someone somewhere
Someone somewhere
Someone somewhere
Someone somewhere

Someone somewhere
Someone somewhere

Just You & Me Dancing

[No lyrics]

. . .


You may as well use it as a crutch
If you have a cross to bear. It's only fair. If you use it as a crutch.
If you have a cross to bear. I think it's fair. If you use it as a crutch...

. . .

Keep Stepping

[No lyrics]

. . .


When you are ready, I will surrender
Take me and do as you will
Have what you want, your way's always the best way
I have succumbed to this passive sensation
Peacefully falling away
I am the zombie your wish will command me
Laugh as I fall to my knees

Can I control this empty delusion?
Lost in the fire below
And you come running your eyes will be open
And when you come back, I'll be as you want me
Only so eager to please
My little song will keep you beside me
Thinking your name as I sing

(Sing it back to me)
(Sing it back to me)

No, you can't help it if you have been tempted
By fruit hanging ripe on the tree
And I feel useless
Don't care what the truth is
You will be here come the day
Truth do you hear me?
Don't try to come near me
So tired I sleep through the lie
If you desire to lay here beside me
Come to my sweet melody

Sing it back to me (sing it)
Bring it back (sing it)
Sing it back (sing it)
Bring it back
Sing it back to me

(Sing it, sing it, sing it)
(Sing it back to me)

Bring it back
Sing it back
Bring it back
Sing it back to me

[Thanx a lot to Joaquim for corrected some mistakes]
