Please please tell me now
Please please tell me now
Please please tell me now
Please please tell me now

I made a run, I run out yesterday
tried to find my mountain hideaway
maybe next year, maybe no go
I know you're watching me every minute of the day, yeah
I've seen the signs and the looks and pictures
that give your game away, yeah

There's a dream that strings the road
with broken glass for us to hold
and I cut so far before I had to say

Please please tell me now
is there something I should know?
Is there something I should say?
That would make you come my way
do you feel the same 'cos you don't let it show

People stare and cross the road from me
and jungle drums they all clear the way for me
Can you read my mind, can you see in the snow
and fiery demons all dance when you walk through that door
Don't say you're easy on me, you're about as easy as a nuclear war

There's a dream that strings the road
with broken glass for us to hold
and I cut so far before I had to say

Please, please tell me now
is there something I should know?
Is there something I should say?
That would make you come my way
Do you feel the same 'cos you don't let it show

Please, please tell me now
is there something I should know?
Is there something I should say?
That would make you come my way

Please, please tell me now
is there something I should know?
Is there something I should say?
That would make you come my way

Please, please tell me now
can you see what makes me blow?
Can you see how much I die?
Every time it passes by

Please, please tell me now
what it takes to make you show
Is there something I should know?

“You've gone too far this time” but I'm dancing on the Valentine
I tell you somebody's fooling around with my chances on the danger line
I'll cross that bridge when I find it another day to make my stand ohh…
High time is no time for deciding if I should find a helping hand ohh…

Why don't you use it ?
Try not to bruise it
Buy time don't loose it
Why don't you use it ?
Try not to bruise it
Buy time don't loose it

The Reflex is a lonely child he's waiting by the park
The Reflex is in charge of finding treasure in the dark
and watching over lucky clover isn't that bizarre
Every little thing the reflex does leaves you answered with a question mark

I'm on a ride and I want to get off
but they won't slow down the round-about
I sold the Renoir and the T.V. set
Don't want to be around when this gets out

Why don't you use it ?
Try not to bruise it
Buy time don't loose it
Why don't you use it ?
Try not to bruise it
Buy time don't loose it

The reflex is a lonely child he's waiting in the park
The reflex is in charge of finding treasure in the dark
and watching over lucky clover isn't that bizarre
Every little thing the reflex does leaves you answered with a question mark

Why don't you use it ?
Try not to bruise it
Buy time don't loose it
Why don't you use it ?
Try not to bruise it
Buy time don't loose it

The reflex is a lonely child he's waiting by the park
The reflex is in charge of finding treasure in the dark
and watching over lucky clover isn't that bizarre
Every little thing the reflex does leaves you answered with a question mark

The reflex, what a game, he's hiding all the cards
The reflex is in charge of finding treasure in the dark
and watching over lucky clover isn't that bizarre

. . .



Meeting you
with a view to a kill
face to face
secret places feel the chill.

nightfall cover me
but you know the plans I'm making
still oversea
could it be the whole earth opening wide

a sacred why
a mystery gaping your side
the weekend's why
until we

dance into the fire that fatal kiss is all we need
dance into the fire to fatal sounds of broken dreams
dance into the fire that fatal kiss is all we need
dance into the fire

choice for you
is the view to a kill
between the shades
assassination standing still

the first crystal tears
fall as snowflakes on your body
the first time in years
to drench your skin with lovers' rosy stain

a chance to find
a phoenix for the flame
a chance to die
oh can we

dance into the fire that fatal kiss is all we need
dance into the fire to fatal sounds of broken dreams
dance into the fire that fatal kiss is all we need
dance into the fire when all we see is the view to a kill


. . .



Came in from a rainy Thursday on the avenue,
Thought I heard you talking softly.
I turned on the lights, the TV and the radio
Still I can't escape the ghost of you.

What is happening to it all?
Crazy some say-
Where is the life that I recognise?
Gone away.

But I won't cry for yesterday.
There's an ordinary world somehow I have to find.
And as I try to make my way to the ordinary world
I will learn to survive.

Passion or coincidence once prompted me to say-
Pride will tear us both apart.
Well now pride's gone out the window, cross the rooftops, runaway.
Left me in the vacuum of my heart.

What is happening to me?
Crazy some say.
Where is my friend when I need you most?
Gone away.

But I won't cry for yesterday.
There's an ordinary world somehow I have to find.
And as I try to make my way to the ordinary world
I will learn to survive.

Papers in the roadside tell of suffering and greed,
Feared today; forgot tomorrow.
Here beside the news of holy war and holy need,
Ours is just a little sorrowed talk-
Blown away.

Just blowing away.

But I won't cry for yesterday.
There's an ordinary world somehow I have to find.
And as I try to make my way to the ordinary world
I will learn to survive.

Any world is my world

. . .



You saw me standing by the wall corner of a main street
and the lights are flashing on your window sill
All alone ain't much fun so you're looking for the thrill
and you know just what it takes and where to go.

Don't say a prayer for me now, save it til the morning after
No, don't say a prayer for me now, save it til the morning after

Feel the breeze deep on the inside look you down into the well
If you can you'll see the world in all his fire
Take a chance (like all dreamers can't find another way)
You don't have to dream it all, just live a day

Don't say a prayer for me now, save it til the morning after
No, don't say a prayer for me now, save it til the morning after

Save it til the morning after
Save it til the morning after

Pretty looking road I try to hold the rising floods that fill my skin
Don't ask me why I'll keep my promise, I'll melt the ice
And you wanted to dance so I asked you to dance
but fear is in your soul
Some people call it a one night stand but we can call it paradise

Don't say a prayer for me now, save it til the morning after
No, don't say a prayer for me now, save it til the morning after

Save it til the morning after
Save it til the morning after
Save it til the morning after
Save it til the morning after


. . .



Moving on the floor now babe you're a bird of paradise
Cherry ice cream smile I suppose it's very nice
With a step to your left and a flick to the right
you catch that mirror way out west
You know you're something special and you look like you're the best

Her name is Rio and she dances on the sand
Just like that river twisting through a dusty land
and when she shines she really shows you all she can
Oh Rio, Rio dance across the Rio Grande

I've seen you on the beach and I've seen you on T.V.
Two, of a billion stars, it means so much to me
like a birthday or a pretty view
but then I'm sure that you know it's just for you

Her name is Rio and she dances on the sand
Just like that river twisting through a dusty land
and when she shines she really shows you all she can
Oh Rio, Rio dance across the Rio Grande

Hey now (wow), look at that!
Did he nearly run you down?
At the end of the drive, the lawmen arrive
you make me feel alive, alive, alive!

I'll take my chance 'cause luck is on my side
I tell you something I know what you're thinking
I tell you something, I know what you're thinking

Her name is Rio and she dances on the sand
Just like that river twists across a dusty land.
And when she shines she really shows you all she can.
Oh Rio, Rio dance across the Rio Grande
Her name is Rio she don't need to understand
I might find her if I'm looking like I can
Oh Rio, Rio hear them shout across the land

. . .



Darken the city, night is a wire
Steam in the subway, earth is afire
Do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do
Woman you want me, give me a sign
And catch my breathing even closer behind
Do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do

In touch with the ground
I'm on the hunt I'm after you
Smell like I sound I'm lost in a crowd
And I'm hungry like the wolf
Straddle the line in discord and rhyme
I'm on the hunt I'm after you
Mouth is alive with juices like wine
And I'm hungry like the wolf

Stalked in the forest too close to hide
I'll be upon you by the moonlight side
Do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do
High blood drumming on your skin it's so tight
You feel my heart I'm just a moment behind
Do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do

In touch with the ground
I'm on the hunt I'm after you
Scent and a sound, I'm lost and I'm found
And I'm hungry like the wolf
Strut on a line it's discord and rhyme
I howl and I whine I'm after you
Mouth is alive all running inside
And I'm hungry like the wolf

Hungry like the wolf
Hungry like the wolf
Hungry like the wolf

Burning the ground I break from the crowd
I'm on the hunt I'm after you
Smell like I sound I'm lost and I'm found
And I'm hungry like the wolf
Straddle the line in discord and rhyme
I'm on the hunt I'm after you
Mouth is alive with juices like wine
And I'm hungry like the wolf

Burning the ground I break from the crowd
I'm on the hunt I'm after you
Scent and a sound, I'm lost and I'm found
And I'm hungry like the wolf
Strut on a line it's discord and rhyme
I howl and I whine I'm after you
Mouth is alive all running inside

. . .



See them walking hand in hand across the bridge at midnight
Heads turning as the lights flashing out are so bright
And walk right out to the four line track
There's a camera rolling on her back
On her back
And I sense a rhythm humming
in a frenzy all the way down her spine

Girls on Film
Girls on Film
Girls on Film
Girls on Film

Lipstick cherry all over the lens as she's falling
And miles of sharp blue water coming in where she lies
The diving man's coming up for air
'Cause the crowd all love pulling Dolly by the hair
By the hair
And she wonders how she ever got here
as she goes under again

Girls on Film (Two minutes later)
Girls on Film
Girls on Film (Got your picture)
Girls on Film

Wider, baby, smiling you've just made a million
Fuses pumping live heat twisting out on a wire
Take one last glimpse into the night
I'm touching close
I'm holding bright, holding tight
Give me shudders in a whisper,
Take me up til I'm shooting a star

Girls on Film (she's more than a lady)
Girls on Film
Girls on Film (Two minutes later)
Girls on Film
Girls on Film (see you together)
Girls on Film
Girls on Film (see you later)
Girls on Film

(fade out)

. . .



Only came outside to watch the nightfall with the rain
I heard you making patterns rhyme
Like some new romantic looking for the TV sound
you'll see I'm right some other time

look now, look all around, there's no sign of life
voices, another sound, can you hear me now?
This is Planet Earth, you're looking at Planet Earth
Bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop this is Planet Earth

My head is stuck on something precious
Let me know if you're coming down to land
Is there anybody out there trying to get through?
My eyes are so cloudy I can't see you

Look now, look all around, there's no sign of life
Voices, another sound, can you hear me now?
This is Planet Earth, you're looking at Planet Earth
Bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop this is Planet Earth

Look now, look all around, there's no sign of life
Voices, another sound, can you hear me now?
This is Planet Earth, you're looking at Planet Earth

Bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop this is Planet Earth
Bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop calling Planet Earth
Bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop this looking at Planet Earth
Bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop this is Planet Earth

. . .



Telegram force and ready
I knew this was a big mistake
There's a fine line drawing
my senses together
and I think it's about to break

If I listen close I can hear them singers
Voices in your body coming through on the radio

The Union of the Snake is on the climb
Moving up it's gonna race, it's gonna break
through the borderline

Nightshades on a warning
Give me strength at least give me a light
Give me anything even sympathy
There's a chance you could be right

If I listen close I can hear them singers
Voices in your body coming through on the radio

The Union of the Snake is on the climb
Moving up it's gonna race, it's gonna break
through the borderline
The Union of the Snake is on the climb
Moving up it's gonna race, it's gonna break
through the borderline

If I listen close I can hear them singers
Voices in your body coming through on the radio

The Union of the Snake is on the climb
Moving up it's gonna race, it's gonna break
through the borderline
The Union of the Snake is on the climb
It's gonna race, it's gonna break
Gonna move up to the borderline
The Union of the Snake is on the climb
Moving up it's gonna race, it's gonna break
through the borderline
The Union of the Snake is on the climb
It's gonna race, it's gonna break

. . .



Shake up the picture the lizard mixture
with your dance on the eventide
You got me coming up with answers
all of which I deny
I said it again
could I please rephrase it
maybe I can catch a ride
I couldn't really put it much plainer
But I'll wait till you decide
Send me your warning siren
as if I could ever hide
Last time La Luna

I light my torch and wave it for the

New moon on Monday
And a firedance through the night
I stayed the cold day with a lonely satellite
New moon on Monday
And a firedance through the night
I stayed the cold day with a lonely satellite

Breaking away with the best of both worlds
A smile that you can't disguise
Every minute I keep finding
Clues that you leave behind
Save me from these reminders
As if I'd forget tonight
This time La Luna

I light my torch and wave it for the

New moon on Monday
And a firedance through the night
I stayed the cold day with a lonely satellite
New moon on Monday
And a firedance through the night
I stayed the cold day with a lonely satellite

I light my torch and wave it for the

New moon on Monday
And a firedance through the night
I stayed the cold day with a lonely satellite
New moon on Monday
And a firedance through the night

Wild boys, Wild boys
Wild boys, Wild boys
(Wild… Boys…!)

The Wild boys are calling on their way back from the fire
in August's moon surrender to a dust cloud on the rise

Wild boys fallen far from glory

Reckless and so hungered on the razor's edge you trail
because there's murder (murder…)by the roadside in a sore afraid new world

They tried to break us, looks like they'll try again

Wild boys never lose it
Wild boys never chose this way
Wild boys never close your eyes
Wild boys always… shine

You got sirens for a welcome there's blood stain for your pain
and your telephone been ringing while you're dancing in the rain

Wild boys wonder where is glory

Where is all you angels now the figureheads have fell (fell, fell)
and lovers war with arrows over secrets they could tell

They tried to tame you looks like they'll try again

Wild boys never lose it
Wild boys never chose this way
Wild boys never close your eyes
Wild boys always shine

Wild boys, Wild boys, Wild boys

Wild boys (Wild boys)
Wild boys (Wild boys)
Wild boys (Wild boys)

Wild boys never lose it, Wild boys never chose this way
Wild boys never close your eyes, Wild boys always…
Wild boys never lose it, Wild boys never chose this way
Wild boys never close your eyes, Wild boys always…
Wild boys never lose it, Wild boys never chose this way
Wild boys never close your eyes, Wild boys always…


. . .



No-No-Notorious. Notorious
No-No-Notorious

I can't read about it
burns the skin from your eyes
I'll do fine without it
here's one you don't compromise

Lies come hard in disguise
They need to fight it out - not wild about it
Lay your seedy judgements
who says they're part of our lives?

You own the money, you control the witness
I'll leave you lonely
don't monkey with my business
You pay the prophets to justify your reasons
I heard your promise but I don't believe it
that's why I've done it again

No-No-Notorious

Girls will keep the secrets (uh!)
so long as boys make the noise
Fools run rings to break up
something they'll never destroy
Grand notorious slam-- BAM!
and who really gives a damn
for a flaky bandit?
Don't ask me to bleed about it
I need this blood to survive

You own the money, you control the witness
I'll leave you lonely
don't monkey with my business
You pay the prophets to justify your reasons
I heard your promise but I don't believe it
that's why I've done it again

No No Notorious. Notorious. Notorious

You own the money, you control the witness
I'll leave you lonely, don't monkey with my business
You pay the prophets to justify your reasons
I heard your promise but I don't believe it…
You own the money, you control the witness
I'll leave you lonely
don't monkey with my business
You pay the prophets to justify your reasons
I heard your promise but I don't believe it
that's why I've done it again


. . .



I don't mind
if you're keeping someone else behind
I don't care
'cuz you've got something I can share

Hey, take your chance
even if it's only,
only while we're dancing in the light
of your second sight
because when you understand me
you might feel good around me now

I don't want your love
to bring me down
I don't want your love
so turn it around

I won't turn you out
if you've got someone else
someone else you care about

because you must realize
my obsessive fascination
is in your imagination

I don't want your love
to bring me down
I don't want your love
so turn it around

Your rhythm is the power to move me
It's something you control completely

I don't want your love
I don't want your love

I like noise
'cuz I like waking up the house
I cannot sit down
I can't shut my mouth
but when you understand me
you might feel good around me now back it up...

I don't want your love
to bring me down
I don't want your love
so turn it around

Your rhythm is the power to move me
It's something you control completely

I don't want your love

. . .



All she wants is
All she wants is
All she wants is

Spend your money on the corner now
Know you've gotta save some
for the shoeshine boy
You've been pulling 'em
by the hand inside
Oh...collecting all your toys
If you need a little heaven now,
just stick around--
You're going to be there
What do you dare?
What do you care?
What does your heart say now?

All she wants is
All she wants is
All she wants is

Divine intervention
couldn't keep the word
from leaking out
With your pleasure in suspension
Not to mention
what you're thinking about
If you need a lead to heaven, yeah
A place to share
In every position
What do you dare?
What do you care?
What does your heart say now?

All she wants is
All she wants is
All she wants is

More...

I knew it when I saw you
On the showroom floor
You were made for me
I took you home
And dressed you up in polyester
Princess of my dreams
Emotionless and cold as ice
All of those things I like
The way you look
The way you move
The sounds you're makin'
In ultrachrome, latex and steel

I plug you in
Dim the lights
Electric Barbarella
Your perfect skin
A plastic kiss
Electric Barbarella
Try to resist, then we touch,
Hallucinate and tranquilize

(she's so fine)
(she's all mine)

My private life is subject to investigation
No time to waste
People say they heard about our deviation
But you never looked so good
Wear the fake fur fake pearls for me
And put on your mystery
The way I feel you know
I'll never keep you waiting
In ultrachrome latex and steel

I plug you in
Dim the lights
Electric Barbarella
Your perfect skin
A plastic kiss
Electric Barbarella
Try to resist, then we touch
Hallucinate and tranquilize

Princess of my dreams, Princess of my dreams
Majordomo plasticomo Barbarella
(She's so fine)
Caught your magic que Electric Barbarella
(She's all mine)
My pretty pretty
Pretty pretty

. . .



Oh woman you make me feel
like I'm on fire
Oh woman you make it real
it's the only way for me

So if we some times fight
doesn't mean we got problems
Ain't always black and white
'n who cares anyway?

Ooh! doesn't have to be serious
Ooh! doesn't have to be serious

Serious
Ooh! doesn't have to be serious
Ooh! doesn't have to be serious

Oh baby you get so wild
too much understanding
Oh baby you're such a child
full up on love 'n tears 'n cryin'

Don't worry if you're confused
we all tend to be sometimes
The whole world is getting used
that's just the way it is...

Maybe right, oh it maybe wrong
doesn't have to be serious
Being hard isn't being strong
doesn't have to be serious
Fighting for love, fighting for pain
doesn't have to be serious
And if you win, oh what do you gain?
doesn't have to be serious

Ooh! Doesn't have to be serious
Maybe right, oh it maybe wrong
doesn't have to be serious
Fighting for love, fighting for pain
doesn't have to be serious
And if you win, oh what do you gain?
doesn't have to be serious
Maybe right, oh it maybe wrong
doesn't have to be serious
Being hard isn't being strong
doesn't have to be serious
Fighting for love, fighting for pain

Working on the weekend baby
she's working all through the night
a jump into the deep-end gave her
the evidence she required
Takes five: she's got pearls
don't fake it when it comes to
making money, so... she smiles,
but that's cruel
If you know what she thinks,
if you knew what she was after...

Sometimes she wonders...
and she laughs in her frustration

Would someone please explain
the reason for this strange behaviour
In exploitation's name
we must be working for the skin trade

Doctors of the revolution gave us
the medicine we desired
Besides being absolutely painless
it's a question of compromise
They got steel
It's so cool
to get angry at the weekend
and go back to school
So big deal: it's what rules
When it comes to making money
say yes, please, thank you...

Sometimes you wonder
and you ask yourself the question…

Would someone please explain
the reason for this strange behaviour
In exploitation's name
we must be working for the skin trade
Would someone please explain
the reason for this strange behaviour
In exploitation's name
we must be working for the skin trade

I know the answer
but I'm asking you the question...

Would someone please explain
the reason for this strange behaviour
In exploitation's name

. . .



Mine, immaculate dream made breath and skin
I've been waiting for you
Signed, with a home tattoo,
Happy birthday to you was created for you

Can't ever keep from falling apart
At the seams
Can't I believe you're taking my heart to pieces?

Oh, it'll take a little time,
might take a little crime
to come undone now

We'll try to stay blind
to the hope and fear outside
Hey child, stay wilder than the wind
And blow me in to cry

Who do you need, who do you love
When you come undone

Words, playing me deja vu
Like a radio tune I swear I've heard before
Chill, is it something real
Or the magic I'm feeding off your fingers

Can't ever keep from falling apart
At the seams
Can I believe you're taking my heart
To pieces?

Lost, in a snow filled sky, we'll make it alright
To come undone now
We'll try to stay blind
to the hope and fear outside
Hey child, stay wilder than the wind
And blow me in to cry

Who do you need, who do you love
