When you reach number ten And think the struggle ends But it ain't the end It's only a trend You have to unbend 'Cause it's only a trend Don't lose all your friends Don't make heroes end When you reach number eight it ain't no pearly gate 'Cause it won't satiate your growing appetite You can ply your trade and push your crusade Emancipate or indoctrinate, but the Traps are all laid for and honest crusade Your old values will fade as you struggle to make the grade As you struggle to make the grade (As you struggle to make the grade) (You needn't bother) When you hit number four you're almost through the door But there's a whole lot more you just can't ignore The telephone's sure, you know the score But don't let this uproar dissipate your encore It's written in the news how you paid your dues But you've no excuse for the people you abuse When you reach number one you can beat your drum You can sack your roadies in Birmingham When your record is platinum, you can stick it to the bath, To the wall like you've always planned It's written in the news how you paid your dues But you've no excuse for the people you abuseDriven To Tears
How can you say that you're not responsible? What does it have to do with me? What is my reaction, what should it be? Confronted by this latest atrocity Driven to tears Driven to tears Driven to tears Hide my face in my hands, shame wells in my throat My comfortable existance is reduced to a shallow meaningless party Seems that when some innocent die All we can offer them is a page in a some magazine Too many cameras and not enough food 'Cause this is what we've seen Driven to tears Driven to tears Driven to tears Protest is futile, nothing seems to get through What's to become of our world, who knows what to do Driven to tears Driven to tears Driven to tears Driven to tears Driven to tears Driven to tearsShambell
--- instrumental ---Spirits In The Material World
There is no political solution To our troubled evolution Have no faith in constitution There is no bloody revolution We are spirits in the material world Our so-called leaders speak With words they try to jail you The subjugate the meek But it's the rhetoric of failure We are spirits in the material world Where does the answer lie? Living from day to day If it's something we can't buy There must be another way We are spirits in the material world Are spirits in the material worldEvery Little Thing She Does Is Magic
Though I've tried before to tell her Of the feelings I have for her in my heart Every time that I come near her I just lose my nerve As I've done from the start Every little thing she does is magic Everything she do just turns me on Even though my life before was tragic Now I know my love for her goes on Do I have to tell the story Of a thousand rainy days since we first met It's a big enough umbrella But it's always me that ends up getting wet Every little thing she does is magic Everything she do just turns me on Even though my life before was tragic Now I know my love for her goes on I resolve to call her up a thousand times a day And ask her if she'll marry me in some old fashioned way But my silent fears have gripped me Long before I reach the phone Long before my tongue has tripped me Must I always be alone? Every little thing she does is magic Everything she do just turns me on Even though my life before was tragic Now I know my love for her goes on Every little thing she does is magic Everything she do just turns me on Even though my life before was tragic Now I know my love for her goes on Every little thing Every little thingInvisible Sun
One, two, three, four, five, six... I don't want to spend the rest of my life Looking at the barrel of an Armalite I don't want to spend the rest of my days Keeping out of trouble like the soldiers say I don't want to spend my time in hell Looking at the walls of a prison cell I don't ever want to play the part Of a statistic on a government chart There has to be an invisible sun It gives its heat to everyone There has to be an invisible sun That gives us hope when the whole day's done It's dark all day and it glows all night Factory smoke and acetylene light I face the day with my head caved in Looking like something that the cat brought in There has to be an invisible sun It gives its heat to everyone There has to be an invisible sun That gives us hope when the whole day's done And they're only going to change this place By killing everybody in the human race They would kill me for a cigarette But I don't even wanna die just yet There has to be an invisible sun It gives its heat to everyone There has to be an invisible sun That gives us hope when the whole day's doneHungry For You (J'aurais toujours faim de toi)

He goes out at night with his big boots on None of his friends know right from wrong The kick a boy to death 'cause he don't belong You've got to humanise yourself A policeman put on his uniform He'd like to have a gun just to keep him warm Because violence here is a social norm You've got to humanise yourself Re-humanise yourself Re-humanise yourself Re-humanise yourself Re-humanise yourself I work all day at the factory I'm building a machine that's not for me There must be a reason that I can't see You've got to humanise yourself Billy's joined the National Front He always was a little runt He's got his hand in the air with the other cunts You've got to humanise yourself Re-humanise yourself Re-humanise yourself Re-humanise yourself Re-humanise yourself I work all day at the factory I'm building a machine that's not for me There must be a reason that I can't see You've got to humanise yourself A policeman put on his uniform He'd like to have a gun just to keep him warm Because violence here is a social norm You've got to humanise yourself Re-humanise yourself...One World (Not Three)
One world is enough For all of us One world is enough For all of us It's a subject we rarely mention But when we do we have this little invention By pretending they're a different world from me I show my responsibility One world is enough For all of us One world is enough For all of us The third world breathes our air tomorrow We live on the time we borrow In our world there's no time for sorrow In their world there is no tomorrow One world is enough For all of us One world is enough For all of us Lines are drawn upon the world Before we get our flags unfurled Whichever one we pick It's just a self deluding trick One world is enough For all of us One world is enough For all of us I don't want to bring a sour note Remember this before you vote We can all sink or we all float 'Cos we're all in the same big boat One world is enough For all of us One world is enough For all of us One world is enough For all of us One world is enough For all of us One world is enough For all of us It may seem a million miles away But it gets a little closer everyday It may seem a million miles away But it gets a little closer everyday It may seem a million miles away But it gets a little closer everydayOmegaman
The night came down, jungle sounds were in my ears City screams are all I've heard in tewnty years The razor's edge of night, it cuts into my sleep I sit upon the edge now Shall I make that leap? I'm the Omegaman I'm the Omegaman The sky's alive with turned on television sets I walk the streets and seek another vision yet The echo makes me turn to see that last frontier The edge of time closes down as I disappear I'm the Omegaman I'm the Omegaman I'm the Omegaman I'm the Omegaman Always talking to myself Oh! The time that's best is when surroundings fade away The presense of another world comes close to me It's time for me to throw away this paper knife I'm not alone in reaching for a perfect life I'm the Omegaman I'm the Omegaman I'm the Omegaman I'm the Omegaman I'm so tired Of the OmegamanSecret Journey
Upon a secret journey I met a holy man His blindness was his wisdom I'm such a lonely man And as the world was turning It rolled itself in pain This does not seem to touch you He pointed to the rain You will see light in the darkness You will make some sense of this And when you've made your secret journey You will find the love you miss And on the days that followed I listened to his words I strained to understand him I chased his thoughts like birds You will see light in the darkness You will make some sense of this And when you've made your secret journey You will find the love you miss You will see light in the darkness You will make some sense of this You will see joy in this sadness You will find this love you miss And when you've made your secret journey You will be a holy manDarkness
I can dream up schemes when I'm sitting in my seat I don't see any flaws till I get to my feet I wish I never woke up this morning Life was easy when it was boring I could make a mark if it weren't so dark I could be replaced by any bright spark But darkness makes me fumble For a key To a door That's wide open Instead of worrying about my clothes I could be someone that nobody knows I wish I never woke up this morning Life was easy when it was boring I can dream up schemes when I'm sitting in my seat I don't see any flaws till I get to my feet I wish I never woke up this morning Life was easy when it was boringFlexible Strategies
--- instrumental ---Low Life
Fatal fascination for the seedy part of town Walk down the street and your head spins round Don't be seen alone without your friends at night Take a gun or a knife to the low life Don't have to be born into this society Pay for love but the hate comes free Bring enough money for the rest of your life Don't bring your wife to the low life Bringing us there to their vocation [? should be: the degredation] Always keep your back to the wall No rewards for your infatuation Low life No life at all Yeah, low life, low life In here to long to be afraid anymore You can't reach the bed so you sleep on the floor You get so stoned you think you could fly But you won't get high on the low life Low life....How Stupid Mr. Bates
