Never for Ever
And Parallel Lines
Lexicon of Love
And ELO's Time
Kate and Debbie
Looked down from the wall
Architecture
And Morality
Computer World
And the Man Machine
Kate and Debbie
Looked down from the wall
Turntable spinning
Through the waking hours
Being seduced
By music's power
Once the album
Comes to an end
Flip it over
And start again
Video killed
The radio star
Love is a stranger
In an open car
Kate and Debbie
Looked down from the wall
Fade to Grey
O Superman
The Human League
Duran Duran
Kate and Debbie
Looked down from the wall
Turntable spinning etc.

Disintegration
03:07

Close your eyes
To stop you seeing what
Close your mind
So you imagine not
Here we are
In the midst of decline
Flood and drought
Are on my TV and
When winter comes
People are gonna freeze
Society
Is in a state of decline
Chorus/
Disintegration all around
We see it falling apart again
Governments
Now turn their backs
The shedding of
The social contract
Is this
The start of the fall
C/
Bridge/
Civilizations fall
That's been our history
Cannot escape the grasp
Of entropy

Every End is a Beginning
02:37
|
|

Nothing lasts forever
Everything comes to an end
Angry goodbye to a lover
Tearful farewell to a friend
Nobody lives forever
Everyone slips away
Sometimes it's hard to continue
Still we must face the new day
Chorus/
And so full stop
Turn the page
Every end is a beginning
A country has to evolve
It's people change over time
Outgrow their old traditions
Seek out a new design
C/

I don't like the words you're using
I don't like the way you say them
Tells me you are not my people
Tells me you are not my tribe
I don't like the way you're dressing
I don't like the way you look
Tells me you are not my people
Tells me you are not my tribe
I perceive the world in black and white
Don't recognise any shades of grey
I don't believe in compromise
I will have things done my way
How can we connect?
When every difference is a wedge
How can we connect?
When we seek to turn away
There is more that unites us
Than divides
There is more that unites us
If we could only see

Is This Living?
02:38

Another night. Another day.
Feels like my dreams are fading away
Working too hard; making no money
If it wasn't so desperate it might be funny
Empty wallet and empty bed
haven't got time to clear my head
Wages come in and the bills go out
Here's another month of going without
Never thought it would
End up this way (yeah)
But I just keep on living
Day to day (yeah)
Looking back and feeling blue
About all the things I wanted to do
See the world and have some fun
Meet a girl who'd be the one
Never thought it would
End up this way (yeah)
But I just keep on living
Day to day (yeah)
Another night etc.
Never thought etc.

Bury a King
02:43
|
|

So, we're in
The Carolean
The Lewis Carolean
And down the rabbit hole
We go
We went on a total bender
On the day they buried 'Brenda'
But we were as royalist
As Cromwell
And we were in a Wetherspoons
No
It couldn't have been a Wetherspoons
Because there was a jukebox
And the jukebox was playing
Hey Vicky you're so fine
But Liz ruled for a longer time
Hey Vicky. Hey Vicky.
And we were watching all these sycophants
And thinking
In five years time
They'll all be calling on Charlie to abdicate
Because they never really liked him
Anyway
And would much rather have as their king
Charlie's son
But what I want to know is
Will I still be here to sing
When they bury a king
Will I still be here to sing
When they bury a king

In the light of day
It's easy to pretend
That your subconscious
Is really a friend
But in the dreaming state
Supposed comfort of slumber
Here come the demons
To pull you under
Chorus/
And when the darkness falls
Is when the fears arise
And when the darkness falls
There's nowhere to hide
No-one is perfect
Well, not you or I
Dwelling upon our mistakes
The constant asking why
All these monsters that reside
In the dark recesses
The darkness that we carry
No-one knows or guesses

Stars of a Different Sky
03:12
|
|
||
I looked up at the night sky
And I didn't know why
I felt so displaced
Another man with another face
Everyone looks alien to me
Like they're a different species
Like my thoughts have been transposed
Into another's flesh and bones
Chorus/
I remember a life
That is not mine
I remember the stars
Of a different sky
Is this madness or memory
What is happening to me
The sun's light too yellow, too cool
Even the sky has the wrong hue
I don't know how I got here
I don't know if I can return
I remember stories of stars
I had taken some other ride

All of These Goodbyes
03:49
|
|
||
Time's up for me
I didn't realise
But it was in your eyes
All of these goodbyes
Time is moving slow
Mind is moving fast
These things that never last
Sets me dwelling on the past
And though we tried
To make things work
Neither of us
Could ever change
We can't rewind
Turn the hourglass
Our love was second class
Wasn't made to last
And though ... etc.
