Текст песни:

I met a man who lost his mind
In some lost place I had to find
Follow me the wise man said
But he walked behind

I walked into a hospital
Where none were sick and none was well,
When at night the Sisters left
I could not walk at all.

Some girls wander by mistake
Into the mess that scalpals make.
Are you the teachers of my heart
We teach old hearts to break.

A met a woman long ago
Her hair the black the black can go
Are you the teacher of the heart?
Soft she whispered, no

I met a girl across the sea,
Her hair the gold that gold could be.
Are you the teacher of the heart?
Yes, but not for thee.

I spent my hatred every place,
On every work, on every face
Is my passion perfect,
No! Do it once again.

Oh teachers are my lessons done?
I cannot do another one,
They laughed and laughed and laughed and said,
Child are your lessons done?

I was handsome, I was strong,
I knew the words of every song
Did my singing please you?
No, the words you sang were wrong

Текст песни:

Everybody shouts on I love lucy
Pee wee reads the evening news
A pre-owned song or a second-hand uzi
Everybody got a job to lose
Here come the golden oldies
Here come the hizbollah
Businessmen from south miami
Humming aor

Meanwhile...

I like cal and his dog napalm
I like ike and his itty-bitty a-bomb
Everybody got one, I want mine
You can order it up on channel nine
Meanwhile, in the sheraton,
Doctor jeep plays on and on and on
There was a time but it′s long gone
Janie got a crush on the viet cong
Burning through downtown saigon
Me, I′m sold - down the mekong
Meanwhile, in the sheraton,
Doctor jeep plays on and on and on
Guns and cars and accidents
The threatened witness my defence
You can sell one another for fifteen cents
Well bye-bye mother, it′s common sense
Meanwhile, in the sheraton,
Doctor jeep plays on and on and on

Everybody shouts on I love lucy
Pee wee reads the evening news
A pre-owned song or a second-hand uzi
Everybody got a job to lose
Here come the golden oldies
Here come the hizbollah
Businessmen from south miami
Humming aor
Meanwhile, in the sheraton,
Doctor jeep plays on and on and on

Текст песни:

Oh, see the storm is threatening
My very life today
If I don′t get some shelter
Yeah, I′m gonna fade away

War, children
It′s just a kiss away
It′s just a kiss away
Yeah

Oh, see the fire is sweeping
Down through the streets today
Burning like a bright red carpet
Another fool who lost the way

Rape. murder.
It′s just a kiss away
It′s just a kiss away
Yeah

Oh, see the storm is threatening
My very life today
If I don′t get some shelter
Yeah, I′m gonna fade away

Love, sisters
It′s just a shot away
It′s just a shot away
Love, sisters
It′s just a shot away
Shot away
Shot away

War, children
It′s just a kiss away
It′s just a kiss away
War, children
It′s just a kiss away
Kiss away
Kiss away

Rape. murder.
It′s just a kiss away
It′s just a kiss away
Rape. murder.
It′s just a kiss away
Kiss away
Kiss away

Текст песни:

It′s just a feeling
I get sometimes
A feeling
Sometimes
And I get frightened
Just like you
I get frightened too
but it′s...

(no no no) No time for heartache
(no no no) No time to run and hide
(no no no) No time for breaking down
(no no no) No time to cry

Sometimes in the world as is you′ve
Got to shake the hand that feeds you
It′s just like Adam says
It′s not so hard to understand
It′s just like always coming down on
Just like Jesus never came and
What did you expect to find
It′s just like always here again it′s...

(no no no) No time for heartache
(no no no) No time to run and hide
(no no no) No time for breaking down
(no no no) No time to cry

Everything will be alright
Everything will turn out fine
Some nights I still can′t sleep
And the voices pass with time
And I keep
[repeat]
No time for tears
No time to run and hide
No time to be afraid of fear
I keep no time to cry

(no no no) No time for heartache
(no no no) No time to run and hide
(no no no) No time for breaking down
(no no no) No time to cry

Текст песни:

looking out the morning I can see the trees turn orange in the rays
don′t need the smell of incense, in the morning haze
head on down the delta, in the shadow of the sun
seven shades of shiva rising, I am come

wah-hoo
let′s do the war on drugs
wah-hoo
let′s do the war on drugs
seven shades of shiva rising
let′s do the war on drugs

looking out the morning I can see the trees, turn orange in the rays
don′t need the smell of incense, in the morning haze
head on back to Kirkstall, in the shadow of the sun
seven shades of shiva rising, I am come

wah-hoo
let′s do the war on drugs
wah-hoo
let′s do the war on drugs
eleven [... /ten /nine /eight /seven] shades of shiva rising
let′s do the war on drugs

Текст песни:

You don′t have to say you′re sorry
To look on further down the line
Into the sun
Too close at heaven
Love is fine
But you can′t hold it like a...

Two worlds apart, two together
Ends with that goodnight kiss away
One takes the hard, one the other
Kiss a way

Are you livin′ for love?
Are you livin′ for love?
When the road gets too tough
Is your love strong enough?

Are you livin′?
Are you livin′ for love?

And do you feel your head is full of thunder
Questions never end
Empty nights alone? no wonder
It all comes back again

Are you livin′ for love?
Are you livin′ for love?
I′ve been under the gun
I lost and I′ve ...

Are you livin′ for love?
Are you livin′ for love?
I′ve been under the gun
I lost and I′ve ...

(One two three four)

Forget the many steps to Heaven
It never happened and it ain′t so hard
Happiness is a loaded weapon
And a shortcut is better by far
Explosive bolts, ten thousand volts
At a million miles an hour
Abrasive wheels and molten metal
It′s a semiautomatic - get in the car
Corrosive heart and frozen heat
Where the world′s apart, where we could meet
Where the street fold round and the motors start
And the idiot wields the power
Where the chosen hold the highest card
On a field of honour where the ground is hard
So the highest hand is joking wild
And a house soon fold and no one stand
And I put my finger on and dialed
The tower, the moon, the gun and
Nine-nine-nine, singer down
Cloudburst and all around
The first are last, the blessed get wired
The best is yet to come
I put my finger on and fired
Heatseeking out of the sun
You can set the controls for the heart or the knees
And the meek will inherit what they damn well please
Get ahead go figure, go ahead, pull the trigger
everything under the gun

Текст песни:

On detonation boulevard...
Through the angel rain
Through the dust and the gasolene
Through the cruelty of strangers
To the neon dream
Long distance information
Just tell me where the manholes steam
A little girl waits on my station
With a new machine
On detonation boulevard...
I got wrecked out here
In a eldorado
I got wired, white-walled
This hot-wired sedan
I caught something weird in encenada
I′ve a brother of sorts in torquemada
Long distance information
Disconnect me if you can
On detonation boulevard...
Pink noise, white noise,
And a violet whining sound
It burns inside this car
No cops, no signs, no left, no right
No stops, no turning round
Well you can run but you can′t ride
You won′t get far
On detonation boulevard..
Bang bang

On detonation boulevard...
Through the angle rain
Through the rust and the gasolene
Through the cruelty of strangers
To the neon dream
Long distance information
I′ll take the same
I got the fuel for the transformation
I′m a naked flame
On detonation boulevard...
Bang bang

Текст песни:

Gimme, Gimme, Gimme, Gimme, Gimme, Gimme, Gimme, Gimme
In the place, through which we wander
Reason turned around
And every fool
Will see his madness drowned
And every truth is swallowed up
By ... is giving ground

What you have lost can never be found
Words are just dust in deserts of sound
Everything is lost and your choice lies broken
And the truth is drowned

I watch
Surrender
Because I know
...
Now I know you will not see
The madness we have seen
Now I know you cannot be
All that your fright has been

What you have lost can never be found
Words are just dust in deserts of sound
Everything is lost and your choice lies broken
And the truth is drowned

Words are just dust
I stood but you just could not wait
Behind
Because I know you cannot be
All that your fright has been

What you have lost can never be found
Words are just dust in deserts of sound
Everything is lost and your choice lies broken
And the truth is drowned

Everything is lost in the giving ground
Everything is lost
Everything is lost in the giving ground
Turned around
Reason, turned around
In the giving ground
Ground
In the giving ground
Everything is lost
In the giving ground

Текст песни:

ON THE WIRE
words and music by andrw eldritch


Now the ground comes up too fast
Too fast to meet you
In clouds of dust erupting
Thick around your feet, be careful
In the rubble in waiting
Wall to wall where you tread
Now the quick and the dead and the same old
Fates come calling cards away
How do you think it came to pass you
By the hard way by desire
How do you think it came to pass you by?
On the wire

I don′t sleep so I don′t dream
So I don′t wake up frightened
Everything is what it seems if
You look deep enough tonight and
See.....

On the wire
On the wire
On the wire
I will not fall

repeat

repeat (X4

Текст песни:

Here′s the story
No time to lose (like the present)
Now I′ve lost my friends
Now I′ve lost friends
It′s not my party,
Never will be
Feeling out-of-place,
I′m not happy
A touch of the storm cloud...
Roughage in a comradeship and conversations
Conversations, everything′s so run-of-the-mill
We stand still...

And time slips back,
And time slips back...
Back to the garden,
Time slips back
Back in the dark rooms
Time slips back
Back in the dark room
Back to the dark age
Put me on the rack
We stand still
Time slips back
Recount movements
Recount movements
Watch us grow
Watch us fall from grace
Watch us fall flat on our face
But you always fall on your feet
Tell me how you always
Fall on your feet
Tell me how
Tell me how
Tell me how
Oh tell me how

Текст песни:

And in the summer when the clouds show through
I might go the same way too if
You and I could talk together
Well what am i supposed to do with
You and I would walk together
Then with always close around and
Now you gaze toward the doorway
When the weather comes falling down
CHORUS
And when the rain comes down
Would you choose to walk or stay
Would you choose to walk
Would you choose to stay
Would you
Walk walk walk walk walk away
(away)(away) away away (away)away
away away walk away
Would you choose to walk away
And when the rain comes down
Would you choose to walk or stay
Would you choose to walk
Would you choose to stay
Would you
Walk walk walk walk walk away
Though when the day is nearly
Through I might see the same way too if
You would name the things
That bring you down on me so I could say it′s
Not quite true if you don′t really
Know or understand the circumstance
Behind then I might clear your
Mind and you won′t have to go so
CHORUS

Текст песни:

Still night, nothing for miles,
White curtain come down,
Kill the lights in the middle of the road
And take a look around.....
It don′t help to be one of the chosen
One of the few, to be sure
When the wheels are spinning around
And the ground is frozen through, and you′re
Driven, like the snow
Pure in heart
Driven together
And given
Away to the west
A white dress
Til the river don′t run
A black dress
Looking like mine
Til the sun don′t shine no more
Where the sky meet the ground
Where the street fold round
Where the voice you hold don′t
Make no sound, look
Snow on the river and two by two
Took a lot to live a lot like you, I don′t
Go there now, but I hear they sung
Their ”fuck me and marry me young•
Some wild idea and a big white bed, now
You know better than that, I said,
Like a voice in the wind blow little crystals down
Like brittle things will break before they turn
Like lipstick on my cigarette
And the ice get harder overhead
Like think it twice but never never learn...

And the mist will wrap around us
And the crystal, if you touch it...

And the cars
Lost in the drift
Are there
And the people that drive
Lost in the drift
Are there
And the cares i′ve
Lost in the drift
Are there
Theirs, ours,
Lost in the drift
Are..
Driven
Driven together
And driven
Apart

Текст песни:

The cracks appear along the wall wall wall wall wall
See the people stoop back, once stood tall tall tall tall tall
I see the buildings crumble see the empires fall
But I see no more and I don′t recall

Because I see
Nothing but the good things
Because I see
Nothing but the good things
Because I see
Nothing but the good things
Nothing but the good good good
Nothing but the good things

Well nothing ventured nothing lost
Count the changes count the cost
A reformation so uncertain
Keep your station draw the curtain

Because out there the snipers work the ridges
Building bombs and blowing bridges
Out there on a darkened road
The lines are dead and the cars explode

But in here
There′s nothing but the good things
In here
Nothing but the good things
In here
Nothing but the good things
Nothing but the good good good good good
Nothing but the good things

I see a green sea a pleasant land land land land land
Nothing legal underhand
On the fence or in the sand
Well I take no chances and I take no stand

Against the wall
Against the wire
Against the fall
Against the fire
Against the sale
Against the hire
They say the profits high
But I know the cost is higher

Still I see
Nothing but the good things
Still I see
Nothing but the good things
Still I see here see do talk see
Nothing but the good things
Nothing but the good good good good good
Nothing but the good things
Nothing but the good things
Nothing but the good good good good things
No!

Текст песни:

POISON DOOR
words and musuc by gary marx


Behind the door
The poison door
We search the still hours
Looking
For a place to hide
Behind the door
Where dreams collide
Behind the door
The poison door
We sit in silence waiting
For a deadly friend
Behind the door
Where dreams descend
And the shadows smile

Lips dark and wild
The shadows smile
And kiss the sky
Behind the door
The poison door
The puppets dance on a burning floor
Like dying flames
Behind the door
Shoot me down again

repeat to first break

And kiss your memory goodbye
And the shadows smile
But their lips are ssss...

And the shadows smile
Lips dark and wild
And the shadows smile
Kiss your memory goodbye
And the shadows smile
Lips dark and wild
And kiss the sky

Текст песни:

counting the days in the haze around you
Susanne on the wall

no pain, summer rain
I′m lost for stupid again
we are the same
give it a name Susanne

counting the days in the haze around you
Susanne let the ether fall
out of phase, I am all around you
Susanne on the wall

no pain, summer rain
I′m lost for stupid again
we are the same
give it a name Susanne

Текст песни:

We′ll turn away in a passive decision
We′ll take the steps through the unmarked door
A look back for another collision
But the boys of the spires
Are boys no more

Not black and red boys
Frightened by the night
By the catholic monochrome
The catholic girls now
Stark in their dark and white
Dread in monochrome
The sisters of mercy
High tide
Wide eyed
Sped on adrenochrome
For the sisters of mercy
Filled with
Panic in their eyes
Rise
Dead on adrenochrome

We had the power
We had the space
We had a sense of time and place
We knew the words
We knew the score
We knew what we were fighting for
For the freedom
The time to choose
But time to think
Is time to lose
The signals clash
And disappear
The shade too loud
And the sound unclear
For the

High tide
Wide eyed
Dread in monochrome
Denied in spite
Disliked in monochrome
Panic in their eyes
Rise
Dead and monochrome
The sisters of mercy
Spite
On adrenochrome

The way is clear
The road is closed
The damage done
And the course
Imposed you
