Kate and Debbie 02:26
lyrics
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
lyrics
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 C/

Every End is a Beginning 02:37
lyrics
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/

Unite (If We Could Only See) 03:51
lyrics
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
lyrics
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
lyrics
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

And When the Darkness Falls 03:57
lyrics
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 C/

Stars of a Different Sky 03:12
lyrics
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 C/

All of These Goodbyes 03:49
lyrics
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.
