Small World

I sat down and wrote this letter
Telling you that I felt better
Since you've gone and I was free
I'm so happy

I have so little time to spare now
I'm wanted almost everywhere now
I make out like Casanova
Friends are always coming over

I signed my name as if I meant it
And sealed it with a kiss and sent it
The letter headed through my mood
Happy in my solitude

But halfway home I changed my tune
And when I saw my lonely room
The mirror caught my eye
When I sat down, I cried

Big lie, small world
It was a big lie, small world

I had to intercept that letter
Telling you that I was better
I raced to catch the postman's van
He was leaving as I ran

I missed the bus, I missed the train
I end up walking in the rain
Big dog chased me down the street
Hadn't had a bite to eat

Feeling sorry for myself
And wishing I was someone else
I walked across the city
Because I couldn't stand your pity

Big lie, small world
It was a big lie, small world

The place you live looks opulent
And obviously a higher rent
Than a cozy little room
I had this sense of doom

Your landlord says you're out of town
But your new boyfriend's always around
The hour was getting late
So I sit down and wait

Here's the postman with my letter
Coming down the path he better
Give that thing to me
I have to make him see

Begging doesn't do the trick
He thinks that I'm a lunatic
But then who comes upon the scene
But your new boyfriend, Mr. Clean

I hit the postman, hit your lover
Grabbed the letter, ran for cover
The police arrived in time for tea
They said they'd like to question me

But I can only curse my fate
I had to face the magistrate
It hasnt been the best of days
I'd like to fly away

Big lie, small world
Big lie, small world
It was a big lie, small world
Big lie, small world

So Lonely

Well someone told me yesterday
That when you throw your love away
You act as if you just don't care
You look as if you're going somewhere
But I just can't convince myself
I couldn't live with no one else
And I can only play that part
And sit and nurse my broken heart

So lonely
So lonely
So lonely
So lonely

Now no one's knocked upon my door
For a thousand years or more
All made up and nowhere to go
Welcome to this one man show
Just take a seat they're always free
No surprise no mystery
In this theatre that I call my soul
I always play the starring role

So lonely
So lonely
So lonely
So lonely

So lonely

Someone To Talk To

Though it's me that's on fire not this cigarette
I was stabbed in the back by that young suffragette
And what do I care if she leaves me alone
If I need somebody I'll pick up the phone
I'll put on my good face, clean up the flat
I'm starting all over good bye to all that
Put on some music and pour out a drink
I'll go back to bed and I'll try not to think

Someone to talk to, Someone to talk to
Someone to talk to, Someone to talk to
Someone to talk to, Someone to talk to
Someone to talk to, Someone to talk to
Someone to talk to, Someone to talk to

She was a person I just couldn't see
And I tried to make her what she couldn't be
We tried and we tried, but of course in the end
I drove her crazy and right 'round the bend
Now it's too much to just sit here and cry
I can't be seen with a tear in my eye
Why am I standing right next to the phone?
When I kept on saying I must be alone

Someone to talk to, Someone to talk to
Someone to talk to, Someone to talk to
Someone to talk to, Someone to talk to
Someone to talk to, Someone to talk to
Someone to talk to, Someone to talk to

I love you, why didn't I say that before
I guess that it's safe now she's walked through the door
It's hard when you know that you've got to go on
Feeling so weak and pretending your strong
I didn't see her I only felt me
And one day I'll learn just which part of me bleeds
Now that she's gone I know she was great
But I fucked it up and now it's too late

Someone to talk to, Someone to talk to
Someone to talk to, Someone to talk to
Someone to talk to, Someone to talk to
Someone to talk to, Someone to talk to
Someone to talk to, Someone to talk to

Someone To Watch Over Me

There's a saying old says that love is blind
Still we're often told, "Seek and you shall find"
So I'm going to seek a certain girl I've had in mind
Looking everywhere, haven't found her yet

She's the big affair I cannot forget
Only girl I ever think of with regret
I'd like to add her initial to my monogram
Tell me, where is the shepherddes for this lost lamb?

There's a somebody I'm longing to see
I hope that she turns out to be
Someone who'll watch over me
I'm a little lamb who's lost in the wood
I know I could always be good
Someone who'll watch over me

Although I may not be the man some
Girls think of as handsome
To her heart I carry the key
Won't you tell her please to put on some speed
Follow my lead, oh, how I need
Someone who'll watch over me

There's a somebody I'm longing to see
I hope that she turns out to be
Someone to watch over me
I'm a little lamb who's lost in the wood
I know I could always be good
To one who'll watch over me

Although I may not be the man some
Girls think of as handsome
To her heart I carry the key
Won't you tell her please to put on some speed
Follow my lead, oh, how I need
Someone to watch over me

Something The Boy Said

When we set out on this journey
There were no doubts in our minds
We set our eyes to the distance
We would find what we would find

We took courage from our numbers
What we sought we did not fear
Sometimes we'd glimpse a shadow falling
The shadow would disappear

But our thoughts kept returning
To something the boy said
As we turned to go
He said you'll never see our faces again
You'll be food for a carrion crow

Every step we took today
Our thoughts would always stray
From the wind on the moor so wild
To the words of the captain's child
Something the boy said

In the circles we made with our fires
We talked of the pale afternoon
The clouds were like dark riders
Flying on the face of the moon
We spoke our fears to the captain
And asked what his son could know
For we would never have marched so far
To be food for a crow

Every step we took today
Our thoughts would always stray
From the wind on the moor so wild
To the words of the captain's child
Something the boy said

When I awoke this morning
The sun's eye was red as blood
The stench of burning corpses
Faces in the mud

Am I dead or am I living?
I'm too afraid to care, I'm too afraid to know
I'm too afraid to look behind me
At the feast of the crow
We spoke our fears to the captain
And asked what his son could know
For we would never have marched so far
To be food for a crow

Speech Behind Speech

Speech behind speech
That teaches itself under the touch and sight
In the night-bound city
Uncovers spaces where no spaces were before

Language of light
Uncovers spaces where no spaces were
Between the image of it and your face

Language of silence
Surface and see and touch
My name was left [?, maybe "expected"]

Speed Demon

Speed demon
Terror strikes when nobody knows
Speed demon
Blasting out with dynamite blows
EEC gonna put it in motion
Mark of the beast right across the ocean

Speed demon
Hell is for heroes,I'm told
Speed demon
Lake of fire and brimestone
World War I,World War II,
World War III,that's me and you

Speed demon
Economic war goes higher
Speed demon
Ressurected Roman empire
We're too stoned,baby. We can't knock it
Ain't no way that we can stop it

An Old World power
grows bigger by the hour
The whore and her harlots
take babylon much higher
Economic union and military stand
Religous,political
Mark of the beast

Speed demon
Written in the hearts of men
Speed demon
The lightbringer strikes again
Well,license to buy written on your forehead
Tommorow:the United States of Europe

Speed demon

Stay Ready

My radio is tuned to an alien station
My fingers are tapping to an alien tune
I wonder what kicks you can get on this moon
Stay ready to cut and run

Stay ready to cut and run
Stay ready to fly away
Stay ready to cut and run
Stay ready stick to attention

I wonder what kind of birds are in the sky
Stay ready to fly away
Wierd life forms drinkin' cups of tea
There's some strange stuff they're gonna show me

Stay ready to cut and run
Stay ready stick to attention
Stay
Stay ready to cut and run
Stay ready to fly away

Your planet on my screen (Ooooo...)
Whole new place
I never seen it before (Ooooo...)
Strange city down below
1,000 feet to zero (Ooooo...)
Stick to attention

Stay ready to cut and run
Stay ready to fly away
Stay ready to cut and run
Stay ready to fly away
Go!

I shoulda been a cowboy
Uhhh Ohhh

Stolen Car

Late at night in summer heat. Expensive car, empty street
There's a wire in my jacket. This is my trade
It only takes a moment, don't be afraid
I can hotwire an ignition like some kind of star
I'm just a poor boy in a rich man's car
So I whisper to the engine, flick on the lights
And we drive into the night

Oh the smell of the leather always excited my imagination
And I picture myself in this different situation
I'm a company director, two kids and a wife
I get the feeling that there's more to this one's life
There's some kind of complication, he tells her he's alone
Spends the night with his lover, there's a trace of her cologne
And the words of his mistress, as she whispers them so near
Start ringing in my ear

Please take me dancing tonight I've been all on my own
You promised one day we could its, what you said on the phone
I'm just a prisoner of love always hid form the light
Take me dancing, please take me dancing tonight

I imagine his wife, she don't look nothing like a fool
She picks the kids up form some private school
She remembers what he told her, he was late and worked alone
But there's more than a suspicion in this lingering cologne
And the kid's just won't be quiet and she runs a traffic light
And she drives into the night

Please take me dancing tonight I've been all on my own
You promised one day we could it's what you said on the phone
I'm just a prisoner of love always hid from the light
Take me dancing, please take me dancing tonight

So here am I in a stolen car at a traffic light
They go form red to green and so I just drive into the night

Please take me dancing tonight I've been all on my own
You promised one day we could it's what you said on the phone
I'm just a prisoner of love always hid from the light
Take me dancing, please take me dancing tonight
