1. SUNDAY GIRL

Cold as ice cream but still as sweet
Dry your eyes Sunday girl
Hey, I saw your guy with a different girl
Looks like he's in another world
Run and hide Sunday girl.

Hurry up, hurry up and wait
I say awake all week and still I wait
I got the blues, please come see
What your loving means to me.

She can't catch up with the working crowd
The weekend mood and she's feeling proud
Live in dreams Sunday girl.

Baby, I would like to go out tonight
If I go with you my folks'll get uptight
Stay at home Sunday girl.

Hey, I saw your guy with a different girl
Looks like he's in another world
Run and hide Sunday girl.

When I saw you again in the summertime
If your love was as sweet as mine
I could be Sunday's girl.

Hurry up, hurry up and wait
I say awake all week and still I wait
I got the blues, please come see
What your loving means to me
I got the blues


2. ATOMIC

Uh-huh make me tonight
Tonight
Make it right
Uh-huh make me tonight
Tonight
Tonight.

Oh, uh-huh make it magnificent
Tonight
Right.

Ah, oh your hair is beautiful
Ah, tonight
Atomic.

Tonight make it magnificent
Tonight
Make me tonight.

Your hair is beautiful
Oh, tonight
Atomic
Oh Atomic
Oh.

Oh Atomic
Oh Atomic
Oh.


3. (I'M ALWAYS TOUCHED BY YOUR) PRESENCE DEAR

Was it destiny
I don't know yet
Was it just by chance? Could this be Kismet?
Something in my consciousness told me you'd appear
Now I'm always touched by your presence dear
When we play at cards you use an extra sense (it's really not cheating)
You can read my hand, I've got no defence
When you sent your messages whispered loud and clear
I am always touched by your presence dear
Floating past the evidence of possibilities
We could navigate together, psychic frequencies
Coming into contact with outer entities
We could entertain each one with our theosophies.

Stay awake at night and count your R.E.M.'s when you're talking with your super friends
Levitating lovers in the secret stratosphere
I am still in touch with your presence dear
I am still in touch with your presence dear
I am still in touch with your presence dear, dear, dear, Dear, dear.


4. FADE AWAY (AND RADIATE)

Oooo baby, I hear how you spend night time
Wrapped like candy in a blue, blue neon glow
Fade away and radiate
Oooo baby, watchful lines
Vibrate soft in brainwave time
Silver pictures move so slow
Golden tubes faintly glow.

Electric faces seem to merge
Hidden voices mock your words
Fade away and radiate.

The beams become my dream
My dream is on the screen.

Dusty frames that still arrive
Die in 1955.

Fade away and radiate.

The beams become my dream
My dream is on the screen.

Fade away and radiate.


5. PRETTY BABY

Stars live in the evening
But the very young need the sun, uh-huh
Pretty baby, you look so heavenly
A neo-nebular from under the sun
I was forming, some say I had my chance
The boys were falling like an avalanche.

Ya ya baby
La Dolce Vita is a magic dance
No-one was listening
Pretty baby, un petite ingenue
A teenage starlet, I fell in love with you.

You, you with the comb
You look OK in every way (every way)
Ah, I should have known
You'd look at me and look away (and look away - oh).

Pretty baby, you look so heavenly
A neo-nebular from under the sun
Eyes that tell me incense and peppermints
Your looks are larger than life, long live innocence
Petite ingenue, I fell in love with you
Pretty baby, I fell in love with you, whoah oh
Pretty baby, oh oh
Pretty baby, whoah oh, I fell in love with you.


6. ONE WAY OR ANOTHER

One way or another I'm gonna find ya
I'm gonna getcha getcha getcha getcha
One way or another I'm gonna win ya
I'm gonna getcha getcha getcha getcha
One way or another I'm gonna see ya
I'm gonna meetcha meetcha meetcha meetcha
One day, maybe next week
I'm gonna meetcha, I'm gonna meetcha, I'll meetcha
I will drive past your house
And if the lights are all down
I'll see who's around.

One way or another I'm gonna find ya
I'm gonna getcha getcha getcha getcha
One way or another I'm gonna win ya
I'll getcha, I'll getcha
One way or another I'm gonna see ya
I'm gonna meetcha meetcha meetcha meetcha

I'm gonna meetcha, I'll meetcha.

And if the lights are all out
I'll follow your bus downtown
See who's hanging out.

One way or another I'm gonna lose ya
I'm gonna give you the slip, a slip of the lip or another
I'm gonna lose ya, I'm gonna trick ya
One way or another I'm gonna lose ya
I'm gonna trick ya trick ya trick ya trick ya
One way or another I'm gonna lose ya
I'm gonna give you the slip.

I'll walk down the mall
Stand over by the wall
Where I can see it all
Find out who ya call
Lead you to the supermarket checkout
Some specials and rat food, get lost in the crowd.

One way or another I'm gonna getcha, I'll getcha, I'll getcha getcha getcha getcha
(Where I can see it all, find out who ya call)
One way or another I'm gonna getcha, I'll getcha, I'll getcha getcha getcha getcha
(Where I can see it all, find out who ya call)
One way or another I'm gonna getcha, I'll getcha, I'll getcha getcha getcha getcha.
(Where I can see it all, find out who ya call.


7. THE HARDEST PART

Twenty five tons of hardened steel rolls on no ordinary Wheel
Inside the armoured car ride two big armed guards
In a bullet-proof vest, shatterproof glass, overdrive, We're gonna pass
Twenty five tons of hardened steel rolls on no ordinary Wheel
The hardest part of the armoured guard
Big man of steel behind the steering wheel.

Nitro and acetylene open la machine
No short heist, no overnight, big money take you to Brazil
Bullet-proof vest, shatterproof glass, overdrive, we're Gonna pass
Time bomb, greasy mob, count down, hurry up, come on.

The hardest part of the armoured guard
Big man of steel behind the steering wheel

In a wire mesh cage with a twelve gauge. Radio - we're coming fast
Ooh, I need to feel some hardened steel, deliver the big Money deal.

Of the armoured guard here's what I heard
I'll tell you that he will no matter what you feel
The hardest part of the armoured guard
Big man of steel behind the steering wheel.

Twenty five tons of hardened steel deliver the big money Deal.


8. LIVE IT UP

Your old lover's lying in the gutter
He used to be such an all night strutter
"Oh, my heart," I heard him mutter
"Oh, my dear, it seems to flutter"
Ah, ah
It's so hard to say "No"
When the deck is stacked to only go slow
It's easy sweet to live it up
An easy street when you've had enough
Ah, ah.

Darkened night, splashing light
Soft and white and so polite
Let him in, beneath the rim
Beneath the skin, your next of kin
Cleansing fire, funeral pyre
Broken wire grown inside her
Secret hush, swollen rush
It's soft and plush, it's so plush.

You know it's so passe
To sleep without you every day
So easy to do your stuff
So easy to live it up
Ah, ah.


9. DREAMING

When I met you in the restaurant
You could tell I was no debutante
You asked me what's my pleasure
A movie or a measure?
I'll have a cup of tea and tell you of my dreaming
Dreaming is free
I don't want to live on charity
Pleasure's real or is it fantasy?
Reel to reel is living rarity
People stop and stare at me We just walk on by - we just keep on dreaming
Feet feet, walking a two mile
Meet meet, meet me at the turnstile
I never met him, I'll never forget him.

Dream dream, even for a little while
Dream dream, filling up an idle hour
Fade away, radiate.

I sit by and watch the river flow
I sit by and watch the traffic go
Imagine something of your very own
Something you can have and hold.

I'd build a road in gold just to have some dreaming
Dreaming is free
Dreaming
Dreaming is free
Dreaming
Dreaming is free.


10. RAPTURE

Toe to toe
Dancing very slow
Barely breathing
Almost comatose
Wall to wall
People hypnotized
And they're stepping lightly
Hang each night in Rapture.

Back to back
Sacrailiac
Spinless movement
And a wild attack.

Face to face
Sadly solitude
And it's finger popping
Twenty-four hour shopping in Rapture.

Fab Five Freddie told me everybody's high
DJ's spinnin' are savin' my mind
Flash is fast, Flash is cool
Francois sez fas, Flashe' no do
And you don't stop, sure shot
Go out to the parking lot
And you get in your car and you drive real far
And you drive all night and then you see a light
And it comes right down and lands on the ground
And out comes a man from Mars
And you try to run but he's got a gun
And he shoots you dead and he eats your head
And then you're in the man from Mars
You go out at night, eatin' cars
You eat Cadillacs, Lincolns too
Mercurys and Subarus
And you don't stop, you keep on eatin' cars
Then, when there's no more cars
You go out at night and eat up bars where the people meet
Face to face, dance cheek to cheek
One to one, man to man
Dance toe to toe
Don't move to slow, 'cause the man from Mars
Is through with cars, he's eatin' bars
Yeah, wall to wall, door to door, hall to hall
He's gonna eat 'em all
Rapture, be pure
Take a tour, through the sewer
Don't strain your brain, paint a train
You'll be singin' in the rain
I said don't stop, do punk rock.

Man to man, body muscular
Sismic decibel by the jugular
Wall to wall, tea time technology and a digital ladder
No sign of bad luck in rapture.

Well now you see what you wanna be
Just have your party on TV
'Cause the man from Mars won't eat up bars when the TV's on
And now he's gone back up to space
Where he won't have a hassle with the human race
And you hip-hop, and you don't stop
Just blast off, sure shot
'Cause the man from Mars stopped eatin' cars and eatin' bars
And now he only eats guitars, get up!.


11. UNION CITY BLUE

Oh, oh, what are we gonna do?
Union, Union, Union City blue
Tunnel to the other side
It becomes daylight
I say he's mine.

Oh power, passion plays a double hand
Union, Union Union City man
Arrive, climb up four flights
To the orange side
Rearrange my mind
In turquoise Union, Union, Union City blue
Skyline, passion, Union City blue.

Power, passion plays a double hand
Union, Union, Union City man
I say he's mine
I have a plan
I say he's my Union City man.

Oh, oh, what are we gonna do?
Union, Union, Union City blue.


12. ENGLISH BOYS

I saw a magazine
It had those English Boys
Who had long hair
When I was on my own
They moved into my town
And I just called 'em up
And they'd be there.

In 1969
I had a lousy time
I listened to the songs
Read letters sent from Nam.

Now peace and love were gone
The tired soldiers home
Ideal society
Gunned down the 70s.

Does it feel the same to you?
Why do you act the way you do?
Pack it up or pack it in
There's no excuse.

Could the hands of time reverse?
Would we wake or take the ride
And again speak with one voice?.

We knew each other well
Although we never met
Messages passed to tell
Equal respect.

Coincidence recurred
I had to laugh a lot
One week hung up superb
Said maybe not.

Does it feel the same to you?
Why do you act the way you do?
Pack it up or pack it in
There's no excuse.

Could the hands of time reverse?
Would we wake or take the ride
And again speak with one voice?.


13. THE HUNTER GETS CAPTURED BY THE GAME

Everyday brings change
And the world puts on a new face
Certain things rearrange
And this whole world seems like a new face
Secretly I've been tailing you
Like a fox that preys on a rabbit
I had to get you and so I know
I had to learn your ways and habits.

Oooooooooooyou were the catch that I was after
I looked up and I was in your arms
And I know that I was captured.

What's this whole world coming to
Things just ain't the same
Anytime the hunter gets captured by the game.

I had laid such a tender trap
Hoping you might fall into it
Love hit me with a sudden slap
One kiss and then I knew it.

Ooooooooooomy plan didn't work out like I thought
I had laid my trap for you
But it seems that I got caught.

What's this whole world coming to
Things just ain't the same
Anytime the hunter gets captured by the game.


14. LITTLE GIRL LIES

She loves you right now, so don't close your eyes.
She'll be talking and laughing with six other guys.
Flirtatious and cute, she'll take you the route telling "little girl" lies.
He loves her so much.
He don't wanna loose her.
And there's no other girl he likes to ball better.
But he's busy tonight.
"We'll make it tomorrow".
He's telling his "little girl" lies.
That's how the little girl lies.
He's telling his little girl lies!
Those "little girl" lies gonna catch up to you and you'll Be sorry!

Making excuses why she can't meet you later.
She's not really ill, someone else got to date her!
Mixed up and confused, it'll catch up to you.
Telling "little girl" lies.
They tell the "little girl" lies.
He's telling his little girl lies.
That's how your little girl lies.
She's been telling you "little girl" lies.
That's how his little girl lies.
She been telling him "little girl" lies.
Those "little girl" lies gonna catch up to you and you'll Be sorry!
Boo hoo!
Boo hoo!.
