You keep on knockin' But you cannot get in I've got it all locked down You beg forgiveness But I turn up the music Gonna drown you out Sorry doesn't cut it No, no. Sorry doesn't cut it I've heard it all before (x2) Every apology's a Sorry; not sorry Every apology's a Sorry; not sorry Every apology's a Sorry; not sorry I see right through you

We always take for granted All the things we've always known People open-hearted And the kindnesses they show But never tomorrow And never today And as our hearts grow colder Counterpoint the warming world Turn against our neighbours Let the fascist right return And this is tomorrow And this is today (Instrumental) Hear the voice of oppresion Ignore every word it says Stand for a better tomorrow Refuse to play their game Say never to tomorrow And never today No, never tomorrow No, not in my name

Got no time for Mrs May Rees-Mogg and the Brexit way Selling everything that's not nailed down Let's run these bastard Tories out of town Got no time for the CBI Or regulators who have no spine Everything wrong is all alt-right Time to cast 'em into an endless night Chorus/ Time to take a different road We've put the climate in overload We haven't yet reached a flashpoint But we're about to cross a tipping point Got no time for old-school reds Hidebound to industries that are dead The other side of capital's coin Master and slave forever conjoined Got no time for Libdem snakes Happy to compromise 'til they break And UKIP are so far beyond the pale Already sent the country off the rails C/

(Spoken) "Robots and AI? Not in this town Human lives are cheap Monitoring and fear make a man as programmable as a machine Only without the capital investment But there are those Who find a way out ..." They took the power out To take the cameras down It's time to leave Exit 39 Running out of time We travel light Police cracking down It's now a prison town No life at all Under corporate law We're in an iron claw Squeezing tight Chorus/ Following those who disappear Taking the highway to Sanctuary Got to get off the road Before first light shows And drones fill the sky There is a sanctuary Beyond Highway 3 Or so we're told C/

Soft Side 03:56
Show me your soft side The one I've been craving Show me your soft side Show me your best side Loving and tender Show me your best side Naked in the firelight Defences down If just for one night Skin lit by the moonlight Hearts open If just for this night Two souls flow together Flying high On charged emotion Sharing sacred union We are Two lost in devotion (Instrumental)

Give me love, or more disdain The torrid or the frozen zone Bring equal ease unto my pain The temperate affords me none Either extreme of love or hate Is sweeter than a calm estate Give me a storm, if it be love Like Danae in that golden shower I swim in pleasure, if it prove Disdain that torrent will devour My vulture hopes, and he's possessed Of heaven that's but from hell released Then crown my joys, or cure my pain Give me more love, or more disdain

She's out of my class And she's out of my league She's far too smart And she's far too chic But that doesn't stop me being me And that's not a great thing to be It never takes that long Until I've done something wrong Pre-Chorus/ And then she gets that look Coming over her Totally disdainful And I know the wrath is coming down Like an avenging angel (And then she says) Chorus/ Don't you beg me to stay I'll be walking away Think about it Bored of these games that you play You're going to pay Don't you doubt it She's all that I want And she's all that I need But I can't escape This web of deceipt And I can't keep the past in the past And all the dark shadows it casts I don't want to be that guy But she sees him in my eyes PC/ C/

Cold as Ice 03:34
You know what is wrong And you know what is right You know when to run And when to stand and fight You know when to speak up And when silence is key When it comes to self-control You're the epitome Chorus/ Cold You're cold as ice You're cold You're cold as ice You get it right first time No-one gets to try again You never compromise You just bring things to an end You have no time to waste You move with professional zeal I don't think you even sense Those you crush beneath your heel C/ (instrumental) C/

Do you remember those golden days The early days when love was new No thoughts that there could be any way There wouldn't be a me and you Chorus/ You say we've missed Our last chance So if you think it's over Just go It's strange the way that love can fade A subtle blade cuts love away Where there was light there is now only shade The ties that bind just snap and fray C/ (Instrumental) C/ So if you think it's over (over and over and over and over) So if you think it's over (over and over and over and over) So if you think it's over Just go
13.
There you go You're just over-thinking Now you've started sinking Into a darker place Oh no You've started losing focus Believing hocus-pocus Some nonsense you've embraced Chorus/ Life - Take it how you find it You know you can't rewind it Take it as it comes Same old scene The words, they still elude you Writing to a schdule Causes them to fail Relax Keep it nice and easy That's not being lazy Breath deep, then exhale C/
