Well its high noon at the U.K. corral,
& its high time I got myself back on the rails, I'm the lonesome cowboy, ridin across the range, with just a hand held radio--to keep me sane, ridin through the f.m. stations, the tumbleweed, & the petrol stations, Will all on board this yankee station Prepare themselves for battle stations-- CHORUS Jesus Wept. Jesus CHRIST. I can't see for the tear gas, & the dollar signs in my eyes. Well, whats a man got left to fight for when he's bought his freedom by the look of this human jungle It aint just the poor who'll be bleeding! Most everyone round here thinks they're something special that destiny will be kind-- While they're digging for gold, diving for pearls, & aiming for heaven from this man made world. Come on down--the devil's in town He's brought you sticks and stones to bust your neighbors bones, he's stuck his missiles in your gardens, & his theories down your throat-- & god knows what your gonna do with him Cos I certainly don't CHORUS Down by the river, I've been washing out my mouth, cos deep in the heart of me there's a frightened man breaking out. Oh I was just looking for paradise anywhere in this world While they're gunning for heaven-- from this man made hell!!! Angels of Destruction. Angels of Destruction!!!! |

Leavin' vapour trails against a blood red sky Movin' in from the East toward the West With Balaclava helmets over their heads, yes! But if you think that Jesus Christ is coming Honey you've got another thing coming If he ever finds out who's hi-jacked his name He'll cut out his heart and turn in his grave Islam is rising The Christians mobilising The world is on its elbows and knees It's forgotten the message and worships the creeds It's war, she cried, It's war, she cried, this is war Drop your possessions, all you simple folk You will fight them on the beaches in your underclothes You will thank the good lord for raising the union jack You'll watch the ships out of harbour And the bodies come floating back If the real Jesus Christ were to stand up today He'd be gunned down cold by the C.I.A. Oh, the lights that now burn brightest behind stained glass Will cast the darkest shadows upon the human heart But God didn't build himself that throne God doesn't live in Israel or Rome God belong to the yankee dollar God doesn't plant the bombs for Hezbollah God doesn't even go to church And God won't send us down to Allah to burn No, God will remind us what we already know That the human race is about to reap what it's sown The world is on its elbows and knees It's forgotten the message and worships the creeds Armageddon days are here again |

Suddenly last summer I started going out of my head In a tiny hotel room Lying naked on a bed I knew what you were doing, and I knew what you'd done Your life with me was ending, your new life had begun But I was cursing your name, and I was cursing that room And I was praying for the strength to stop loving you I started writing you the letter Which turned into the book I was gonna reach across the ocean and force you to look But what kind of man was I? Who would sacrify you happiness to satisfy his pride What kind of man was I? Who would delay your destiny to appease his tiny mind Then you came back to me and I went down on one knee With a glint in my eyes and a rose between my teeth And I pushed out my tongue for you to see That I'd been dying of a thirst for your company Then you quenched my loneliness with your tears And our clothes fell away as we rolled back the years But we could't deny it because we could not admit it If our love was too strong to die Or we were just too weak to kill it Was our love too strong to die? Or were we just too weak to kill it? Every moment in that room I closed my eyes in prayer Every moment I awoke I clenched my teeth in prayer What kind of man was I? Who would sacrify your happiness to satisfy his pride What kind of man was I? Who would delay your destiny to appease his tiny mind Who could delay your destiny to appease his aching swollen pride Who could delay your destiny to appease his screaming little mind You're mine |

Move away from the window and into the light
There are some things in this life that you just can't fight It's as if the spirits above have cast a little spell upon us It's as if heaven above is beckoning us So let us take off our crosses and lay them in a tin And let our weakness become virtue instead of sin Our bodies stand naked as the day they were born And tremble like animals before a coming storm Take me beyond love Up to something above Upon this bed, between these sheets Take me to a happiness beyond human reach The force of life is rushing through our veins In and out like the tide it comes in waves The drops of semen and the clots of blood Which may, one day, become like us With outstretched hands reaching beyond love And up to something above Before our juices run cold and our flesh grows old Let me feed upon your breast and draw closer to your soul Let me stay with you tonight and I'll offer you my world I'll take you to the angels if you'll take me to myself Take me beyond love Up to something above Upon this bed, between these sheets Take me to a happiness beyond human reach Beyond the grasp of lust Beyond the need for trust Beyond the gaze of the sick and the lame Beyond the stench of human pain |

Save me, Save me, Save me Save me, Save me, Save me. The candles are lit. The curtains are drawn. There's still no sign of rain nor dawn. Our lips touch. Our limbs entwine. But the ghosts that haunt me won't leave my mind. Save me, Save me, Save me Save me, Save me, from myself. One sin leads to another one. Oh, the harder I try I can never, never, never find peace in this life. I ask myself where does lust come from Is it something to yield to or be overcome. I ask myself Why love can never touch my heart like fear does. Why can't love ever touch my heart like fear does? |

They piss'n'moan
And push'n'shove So below As it is above From every mouth Words blare Off every surface Words glare Til there's nowhere to look Except to stare At reflections in The subway glass Fluorescent lit skin Looks harsh So best pretend To be asleep In case you have to Give up your seat To anyone less fortunate than... But the train stops Beneath the streets Shift your legs Tap your feet Open an eye Start to speak But the words get stuck Between your teeth Truth is truth Lies are lies Headlines strike Between the eyes But when is a word Not a word? How's the meaning Been reversed? Twisted, torn Tricked & turned Inside out Upside down Til there's nothing left to talk about... except yourself So you say... "I spy with my little eye something beginning with... me" Ever get lonely? Don't you ever feel phony? Ain't the train going slowly? They say it's gonna get snowy Don't you ever feel holy? And think you wanna be a yogi? What a load of baloney! Do you wanna come home with me? Don't you ever get lonely? Don't you ever get... Roll over roll over it's over it's over. |

The early morning sun lit up her room
But it wasn't just a change in the weather She'd read it in her stars and now she felt it in her heart Life was gonna start getting better And there was a time when she would pray That each teardrop that rolled down her face Would represent a day of pain for him But now she's changing the way she feels About wasting her time & tears Cried out, cried out, cried out Cried out, cried out, cried out And all the tricks and all the lies He tried to pull over her eyes Kept running through her mind She looks back in disbelief In confusion and in grief At what his secrecy was revealing You can scream into your pillow You can pray into the night But you can't switch off your feelings Like you'd switch out a light But she's changing the way she feels About wasting her time and tears Cried out, cried out, cried out Cried out, cried out, cried out And now these winter skies Turn blue and bright And she feels alive And wants to drink every kiss Make up for what she's missed And wipe him out of her mind Some day he'll have to grow up And come clean And listen to the screams Of his own conscience Cry out, cry out, cry out ...And she'll not hear a sound |

Awake, uptight Your hopes, your fears Your lips, God's ears Days come and go Beauty dissolves into skull Time keeps spinning round History thunders down Every step of the climb Led you to this place and time There's no more power in darkness than in light There's no more truth above you than inside The deep down truth, the deep down truth Your heart, your mind Uncoiled, unblind Ego undressed All the time compressed Into that shadow on the wall From the raindrop waterfall Crawling down the misting glass To the future from the past Every step you take Leads you from this time and place There's no more strength in hatred than in love There's no more truth beneath you than above There's no more truth in sadness than in joy There's no more tenderness in girls than in boys The deep down truth There's no more truth in hope than in grief There's no more truth in a saint than a thief There's no more truth in fate than in chance There's no more truth in your mind than your heart There's no more justice in peace than in war There's no more time behind us than before The deep down truth, the deep down truth The deep down truth, the deep down truth The deep down truth, the deep down truth The deep down truth |

Satellite, oh, satellite
Who sits upon our skies How deep do you see when you spy into our lives? I know that God lives in everybody's souls and the only devil in your world Lives in the human heart So now ask yourself What is human? And what is truth? Ask yourself Whose voice is it? That whispers unto you? From the cellars of your homes From the tops of your city roofs Ask yourself Whose voice is it? That whispers unto you? Who is it? That turns your blood into spirit and your spirit into blood Who is it? That can reach down from above and set yours souls ablaze with love Or fill you with the insanity of violence and it's brother: lust Who is it? Whose words have been twisted beyond recognition In order to build your planet Earth's religions Who is it? Who could make your little armies of the left and your little armies of the right Light up your skies tonight Now some of you may live and some of you may die But remember That nothing in the world can kill you inside For he is thinking of you In your great cities of great solitude Oh children you've still got a lot to fuckin' learn The only path to heaven is via hell Good morning beautiful, good morning beautiful Good morning beautiful, good bye world |

Beneath the old iron bridges, across the victorian parks,
& all the frightened people running home before dark, Past the Saturday morning cinema-- that lies crumbling to the ground, & the piss stinking shopping centre in the new side of town. I've come to smell the seasons change, & watch the city, as the sun goes down again. CHORUS Here comes another winter, of long shadows & high hopes, Here comes another winter, waitin for utopia, waitin for hell to freeze over. This is the land, where nothing changes, the land of red buses & blue blooded babies, This is the place, where pensioners are raped, & the hearts are being cut, from the welfare state, Let the poor drink the milk, while the rich eat the honey, Let the bums count their blessings, while they count the money. So many people, can't express what's on their minds, Nobody knows them & nobody ever will, Until their backs are broken & their dreams are stolen, & they can't get what they want, then they're gonna get angry! Well it ain't written in the papers, but its written on the walls The way this country is divided to fall, So the cranes are moving on the skyline-- Trying to knock down--this town But the stains on the heartland, can never be removed, from this country, that's sick, sad, and confused. CHORUS The ammunition's being passed, and the lords been praised, But the wars on the televisions will never be explained, All the bankers gettin sweaty, beneath their white collars, As the pound in our pocket, turns into a dollar. This is the 51st state--of the U. S. A. (Repeat and fade.) |

I'm the helpline operator & I'll spare you the time. I'm the intimate stranger. Your problems will be mine. Put your tongue into the mouthpiece And whisper in my ear. Admit to me the things you can't admit to yourself. Admit to me & no one else. Everybody's looking for someone to tell them what they want to hear. Everybody's looking for true love To help them feel what they cannot feel. I'm the helpline operator, can you spare me the time. I'm the intimate stranger. Your problems will be mine.

To find a life that's new But wherever I go I always know I can't escape from you A jug of wine to numb my mind But what good does it do? The jug runs dry and still I cry I can't escape from you These wasted tears are souvenirs Of love, I thought was true Your memory is chained to me I can't escape from you There is no end, I can't pretend That dreams will soon come true A slave too long to a heart of stone I can't escape from you {This is Hank Williams speaking for all the boys And saying "If the good Lord's willin' And the creeps don't rise, we'll see you for long" And until then} |

I wouldn't let my dear savior in Then Jesus came like a stranger in the night Praise the lord, I saw the light I saw the light, I saw the light No more darkness, no more night Now I'm so happy, no sorrow in sight Praise the lord, I saw the light Just like a blind man, I wandered alone Worries and fears I claimed for my own Then like the blind man that God gave back his sight Praise the lord, I saw the light I was a fool to wander and stray For straight is the gate and narrow the way Now I have traded the wrong for the right Praise the lord, I saw the light I saw the light, I saw the light |

All you want to do is sit around and pout
And now I got enough and so I'm getting out I'm leaving now, I'm leaving now I'm a long gone daddy, I don't need you anyhow I been in the doghouse so doggone long That when I get a kiss I think that something's wrong I'm leaving now, I'm leaving now I'm a long gone daddy, I don't need you anyhow I'll go find a gal that wants to treat me right You go get yourself a man that wants to fight I'm leaving now, I'm leaving now I'm a long gone daddy, I don't need you anyhow You start your jaws a-wagging and it never stops You never shut your mouth until I blow my top I'm leaving now, I'm leaving now I'm a long gone daddy, I don't need you anyhow I remember back when you were nice and sweet Things have changed, you'd rather fight than eat I'm leaving now, I'm leaving now I'm a long gone daddy, I don't need you anyhow I'm a-gonna do some riding on the midnight train I'm taking everything except my ball and chain I'm leaving now, I'm leaving now I'm a long gone daddy, I don't need you anyhow |

I've got too much energy to switch off my mind,
but not enough to get myself organized. My heart is heavy--my head is confused, And my aching little soul--has started burning blue! CHORUS I can't give you up, till I've got more than enough. So infect me with your love-- Nurse me into sickness. Nurse me back to health. Endow me with the gifts--of the man made world. When desire becomes an illness instead of a joy, And guilt a necessity that's gotta be destroyed. CHORUS Take me by the hands and walk me to the end of the pier. Run your fingers through my hair, and tell me what I wanna hear-- Will lies become truths in this face of fading youth from my scrotum to your womb, --your cradle to my tomb. CHORUS Nurse me into sickness, nurse me back to health And tell me what it is that I want in this world!! |

Tell me what you're thinking baby
Your heart's beating faster than mine And I know something's going on in your life In your life.. in your life You were the girl I wanted to cry with You were the girl I wanted to die with And you were the boy who turned into the man Broke my heart and let go off my hand Our bed is empty, the fire is out And all the love we've got to give has all spurted out There's no more blood and no more pain In our kingdom of rain You think you know about life You think you know about love But when you put your hands inside me It doesn't even feel like I'm being touched, and You were the boy I wanted to cry with You were the boy I wanted to die with You've moved further from my side, year by year, While still making love dutifully sincere But as silent as the car lights that move across this room As cold as our bodies silhouetted by the moon And I would lie awake and wonder Is it just me or this the way love is supposed to be? Tell me what you told him baby My heart's beating out of time with my mind And I know something's going wrong in our lives I just wanted somebody to caress, this damsel in distress I just wanted somebody to undress, this damsel in distress I just wanted somebody to bless, this damsel in distress I just wanted somebody to possess, this young girl Our bed is empty, the fire is out And all the love we've got to give has all spurted out There's no more blood and no more pain In our kingdom of rain |

Planet Earth is slowing down Overseas, underground Wherever you look around Lord, take me by the hand lead me through these desert sands To the shores of a promised land. You make me start when you look into my heart And see me for who I really am. If you can't change the world. Change yourself. If you can't change the world. Change yourself. I didn't care if the sun didn't shine & the rain didn't fall from the sky I just cared about myself From this world to the next And from the next back to this. By our actions we are bound. We're running out of love running out of hate running out of space for the human race. Planet Earth is slowing down. You make me cry when you look into my eyes. And see me for who I really am. If you can't change the world. Change yourself. If you can't change the world. Change yourself. And if you can't change yourself....change the world. I'm in love with the planet I'm standing on I can't stop I can't stop thinking of All the people I've ever loved All the people I have lost All the people I'll never know All the feelings I've never shown. The world's too big. And life's too short. To be alone...To be alone. |

LoveLoveLove
LoveLoveLove Me & my friend were walking In the cold light of mourning. Tears may blind the eyes but the soul is not deceived In this world even winter ain't what it seems. Here come the blue skies Here comes springtime. When the rivers run high & the tears run dry. When everything that dies. Shall rise. LoveLoveLove is stronger than death. LoveLoveLove is stronger than death. In our lives we hunger for those we cannot touch. All the thoughts unuttered & all the feelings unexpressed Play upon our hearts like the mist upon our breath. But, awoken by grief, our spirits speak ""How could you believe that the life within the seed that grew arms that reached And a heart that beat. And lips that smiled And eyes that cried. Could ever die?"" Here come the blue skies Here comes springtime. When the rivers run high & the tears run dry. When everything that dies. Shall rise. LoveLoveLove is stronger than death. LoveLoveLove is stronger than death. Shall rise. Shall rise. Shall rise. Shall rise. |

I could say it's over now
That I was glad to see you go I could hate you for the way, I'm feeling My lips could tell a lie But my heart would know It's a sin to make me cry When you know I love you so I could tell my heart that I don't miss you My lips could tell a lie But my heart would know I could give you all the blame But I'm sure the truth would show I could tell this world I found a new love My lips could tell a lie But my heart would know I can't fool my cryin' heart Because it knows I need you so I could tell my heart, I'm glad we parted My lips could tell a lie But my heart would know I could say it's over now That I was glad to see you go I could hate you for the way, I'm feeling My lips could tell a lie But my heart would know |

I'm a man without a soul...Honey, yeah
I lost it while parading it, in a town full of thieves Y'see I didn't wanna be with any people I know. But god knows, I didn't wanna be alone I thought if I acted like someone else I'd feel more comfortable with myself So I showered down, left my little room Jumped in my car for protection from hostility Well it ain't easy to be bold in an unknown city Yeah I was feeling strong mouthed and weak willed When I ran into the cure for my ills Don't tell me what your name is I want your body, not your mind, I want a feeling, worth paying for before I say goodbye But as I was talking, I couldn't look her in the eyes, I just kept wondering, How many men unleashed their frustration between her thighs? There'll be no sleep 'til the morning There'll be no lullabyes 'cause the devil borrowed my clothes just for tonight Well my adrenalin, was curdling like cream, as I was being led by the hand. Through the sound of sirens And the distant noise of some drunken jazz band, Through the stench of disinfectant-- that "INFECTED" my head, through the darkness of a corridor and into a stranger's bed. Well I didn't wanna hurt your feelings, honey But I couldn't suppress my own, I had to pull myself outta this nosedive by proving something to myself. She was lying on her back with her lips parted. Squealing like a stuffed pig I was going through the motions faking the emotions, and wriggling around like a lizard in a tin. Trying so hard to cleanse myself, I was turning into somebody else. I was trying so hard to please myself, I was turning into somebody else. I was trying so hard to be myself I was turning into somebody else. I was trying so hard to be myself I was turning into somebody else. I was trying so hard to be myself I was turning into somebody else. Come my love with your desire Out of the blue...and into the fire!! |

Sensed but unheard As the curtain softly stirs It is not just a memory But it lives and breathes Watching over you whilst you sleep Kneeling beside you when you weep Hey, don't be afraid Don't try to run away Because pain can be your friend As it explains The answers to your questions Consoles you in blue reflections Listens to your soul's confessions Then leads you in new directions So open your heart again And feel the walls dissolve Something's whispering to you It's time to let go Because the only thing that stays the same Is that everything must change Everything must change Hey, embrace your pain You cannot run away And pain can be your friend As it explains The answers to your questions Consoles you in blue reflections Listens to your soul's confessions Then leads you in new directions And all the while that you were waiting For love to keep the light from waning It's pain that stops the heart from hating That cures the mind of hesitating That helps the soul in separating From everything that it's been blaming Everything's changing |

I paint my lips pillar box red
Reminds me of the country Where I was born and bred Roots lie deeper than bones So back in time I go Through the tobacco smoke veil On the perfumed trail Where only childhood knows I lift my face to feel the rain Every thing's changed Though it seems the same The shallow hugs, the muted rage The weeping skies, the shadowless days I love and I hate this place I ran away but I couldn't escape I paint my lips pillar box red Reminds me of the country Where I was born and bred Roots lie deeper than bones So back in time I go Through the saloon bar doors Onto the chewing gum floors Where only childhood knows I lift my face to feel the rain Every thing's changed though it seems the same The sarcasm, the bitter remarks That pierce the chest and wound the heart The shallow hugs, the muted rage The weeping skies, the shadowless days I love and I hate this place I ran away but I couldn't escape I paint my lips pillar box red It reminds me of the country Where I was born and bred I paint my lips pillar box red It reminds me of the country Where I was born and bred |

The more I see
The less I know About all the things I thought were wrong or right & carved in stone So, don't ask me about War, Religion, or God Love, Sex, or Death Because.... Everybody knows what's going wrong with the world But I don't even know what's going on in myself. You've gotta work out your own salvation. With no explanation to this Earth we fall On hands & knees we crawl And we look up to the stars And we reach out & pray To a deaf, dumb & blind God who never explains. Every body knows what's going wrong with the world But I don't even know what's going on in myself. Lord, I've been here for so long I can feel it coming down on me I'm just a slow emotion replay of somebody I used to be. |

I followed that bead of sweat,
to the small of your back, from the nape of your neck, Lightin' it up, with every drag upon my cigarette. It can run, but it can't hide-- Like the unspoken feelings on your mind. I'm too tense to be tender, your too weak to be true. You try to make it easier upon yourself, By makin' it hard on you! but it's the lies in your eyes that make me wanna cry-- It's just sometimes I get so lonesome --I could die. I'm just another western guy, with desires that I can't satisfy So all the love I gave to you Means nothing at all. Dear God, God, God, this slow train to dawn. So are you lying when you say you love me. I'm lying when I say I don't-- We've opened our hearts to let each other look in, To have and to hold, but it's the words that remain unsaid, that are the words I wanna hear you speak, I bet the birds start singing, & the sun comes up, before we fall asleep-- Oh the tears in your eyes, just make me wanna cry, It's just sometimes I get so lonesome--I Could Die!! |

Waitin' for the evenin' to come On every street of this city I heard you call my name You're the strangest feeling I ever had The strangest feeling You're the strangest feeling I ever had The strangest feeling From the day that we are born, until the day we die We are hostage to our hearts' desire Though I ride this city I can't escape from you And when I look up to the stars I wonder Can the world really be so cruel? You're the strangest feeling I ever had The strangest feeling You're the strangest feeling I ever had The strangest feeling Tonight the wolves are howling I can't escape from you A yearning past denying I will surrender to You're the strangest feeling I ever had The strangest feeling You're the strangest feeling I ever had The strangest feeling Shine on me, Sodium light baby Shine on me, Sodium light baby Shine on me, Sodium light baby Shine on me, Sodium light baby |

Mirror, mirror on the wall
You've watched me grow since I was small So what will I regret the most The things I do or the things I don't? The deeper you peer into my soul You'll find that I already know But I can't say it Because I can barely face it My life is halfway through And I still haven't done What I'm here to do Even though the chances flowed I sat and watched the hours fold In upon themselves To stop their hands revealing What I can't say What I can barely face My life is halfway through And I still haven't done What I'm here to do My mummy said What you give is what you get And the only thing worth having Is happiness But trapped inside my bones Fear, desire And hope are on fire And will expand like smoke And fall down like rain Again Again Again |

from The The - Soul Mining (2002)
Your floating down a tunnel - in a little wooden box.
Your cold & your lonely & enveloped in fog. You've been prized open & left here to die - You should've trusted your instincts - - because they don't tell lies. "Something always goes wrong when things are going right... You've swallowed your pride - - to quell the pain inside Someone captured your heart - just like a thief in the night & squeezed all juice out - until it ran dry" You've been read like an open book - page by page. You'll NEVER tell anyone your inner thoughts again You were taken in - by a heart of fools gold. Now your drifting in circles - In the depths of your soul!!! Andy Duncan - drums Matt Johnson - synths, instruments, percussion, vocals |
