1. MAD JACK

He's cold to the kiss
In ignorance he's dangerous
In innocence he's bliss
And he stalks the night
With sonar senses
And he holds you tight
Masturbates the madness in you

He dreams when he's not sleeping
Plays the trusted friend
Trust him, friend
About as far as you can piss

And he holds the night
Walks in shadow
And avoids the light
Masturbates the madness in you

His frightened eyes
Can't disguise
Blatant lies
Blatant lies
Step inside

Well just watch him now
Where he's walking
It's a vacuum world
And every word
A silent, strangled scream
He's God tonight
Walks on water
And he's always right
Talks about the madness in America
Oh he's God tonight
He walks on water
And he's always right
Talks about the madness in Africa

His frightened eyes
Mad Jack's eyes
Can't disguise
Blatant lies
Frightened eyes
Mad Jack's eyes
Are open wide
It's been a long time Jack
Welcome back
Have some speed
Have some smack

If you want to dance Jack
Don't look back


2. CAUTION

(This is a little trick I learned, this latest great escape)

We have no future
And we have no past
We're just drifting
Ghosts of glass
Brown sugar ice in our veins
No pressure, no pain

And everybody looks the same to me
Rows and rows of faces
On a balcony
I can hear them
Calling down to me
"Come up here, set us free"

Put the sugar in my veins
Put the dagger in my heart

This is not my home
Everyone's bought and sold
This is not my home
Everybody's, check it out
They're dead and cold

And one by one by one
We disappear
Day after day
Year after year
You can do a runner
But we're still there
Nobody hears
'Cause nobody cares

Put the dagger in my heart

It's cold here
I shudder and I shiver
I should look twenty
Bt I can't deliver
For the pain in my heart
It's cold here
Can you hear my teeth chatter
The time has come
For all of you to scatter
Caution to the wind
With a dagger in the heart

This is not my home
Everyone's bought and sold
This is not my home
Everybody's, check it out
They're dead and cold

Cold, cold, cold

We have no future
And we have no past
We're just drifting
Ghosts of glass
Brown sugar ice in our veins
No pressure, no pain.


3. TEARS (ORIGINAL ARRANGEMENT)

It's just coincidence
Well you can talk that way
But I have to say
I don't believe in it
And with the chill of chance
I decided to dance the days away
And I wasn't worried at all
Sneaking through the backdoor
No I wasn't worried at all
Dreams are what you live for

Waiting for the light to turn green
Carry me home
To the kindest eyes that I've ever seen
Carry me home
Can you tell me how will it be now
How will it be?

Well we were younger then
And the days were long and slow
But were we wiser then
I couldn't say
I wouldn't know
ut I wasn't worried at all
I had someone to run to
No I wasn't worried at all
I knew which way the wind blew
Kicking out the chaos and gloom
Carry me home
I'll watch the ceiling spin round the room
Carry me home
Can you tell me how will it be now?
How will it be?

In the real world how will it be?
In a cold world how will it be?
In a lonely world
(Beg and crawl)
How will it be?
Will the ghosts just stop!
Following me

Now drawn into the sun
He was the only one
He cries out to everyone
For his only son

From the window of my room now
I can see the colour blue now
You can't even look in my eyes now
What would you see
If you could look into my eyes now
What would you see
What would you see
It's a coincidence
You can talk that way
I don't believe in it


4. SOUL IN ISOLATION

Soul in isolation
I can hear you breathing down the hall
Soul in isolation
I can hear you crying through the walls
And if I had a mind to now
I could call to you
Or I could simply shut you out
No more would you cry

I'll give you my time to kill
But you'll never never
Break my will
Or I could sink a sleeping pill
And in the morning could be
Sleeping still
But most of you are much too ill
Way beyond a surgeon's skill
In bondage to a dollar bill
What more can you buy?

Oh, when you think on it
We're all
Souls in isolation
Alive in here
I'm alive in here

Come here
A word in your ear
You can't go back to the trees

Big bad giant standing tall
Crushing all the creatures
Great and small
I'd like to see this giant fall
When will it come

Words that rattle round my head
Struck by lightning someone said
A diamond bullet through the head
Hits me right in the brain
Are they right in the brain?

Will I see the jailer's face
Did my mother bring me to this place
Will I live to see his face
Will others come to take my place
In total isolation
Surrounded by crowds
Too many tears
From too many clowns
Isolation
Surrounded by crowds
In another world
Head in the clouds
I'm alive in here
I scream
But you still don't hear
I'm alive in here
I'm alive
Turn on the light

When you think on it
We're all souls in isolation
I'm alive in here
I'm alive

We're always searching for something
Searching
Dear dear dead days I'm longing for you
Sweetest virgin
Now deflowered


5. SWAMP THING

I can already hear your tune
Calling me across the room
When the world and his wife
Are on my back again
Not enough pleasure
Too much pain

When the world is too much with me
Please leave, just go away
Before I lose my mind completely
Please leave, just go now
In the sidestreet something's moving
Look around, look around
All around you
Walls are tumbling down
Stop staring at the ground

I can practically see your face
And another revolutionary falls from grace
Near the thunder in your brain
Not enough sunshine
Too much rain

When the light of life has gone
No change for the meter
Then the king of spivs will come
Selling blood by the litre
When nothing's sacred anymore
When the demon's knocking on your door
You'll still be staring down at the floor

Not too many hours from this hour
So long?
The storm comes
Or is it just another shower?

Picking up the pieces
Half alive in a nine 'til five
Vacant eyes
Is it any wonder?
Primal scream at the TV screen
Close your eyes

Now the world is too much with me
Please leave, just go away
Before I lose my mind completely
Just leave, please go now
Now nothing's sacred anymore
When the demon's breaking down your door
You'll still be staring down at the floor

Not too many hours from this hour
So long?
Now the storm has come
Or is it just another shower?


6. TIME / THE END OF TIME

One chance is all you have
When it's gone
All you have is sorrow
One chance is all you have
Take it on
Like there's no tomorrow
Don't waste your time
Don't waste time
Time

Time slipping away
Have to make the most of your time
You don't have time
Time
Open the door
Somewhere in the back of your mind
Child
You don't have time anymore

Unchanged intoxicating youth
Such an endless feeling
Those days
Are softly stolen away
While your head is reeling

Don't waste your time,
You can't waste time
It's time
It's time

Time slipping away
Have to make the most of your time
You don't have time
Time
Open the door
Somewhere in the back of your mind
Child
You don't have time
Any more

Don't waste your days away
And crying all night
Lonely child, lonely child
Hear me


7. SEROCITY

I used to be so sure
I used to be so certain
Now it's gone
Always wanting more
Bleating out excuses
I have none

Cast reflections in the water
Now that the deed is done
We'll wait
And watch the ripples fade away
Hearts are breaking
Someone's daughter
Joins with someone's son
It goes on and on again
On and on again
Watch the ripples run

I used to be so sure
I used to be so certain
How could I be so wrong
Always needing more
At last the chains are breaking
Watch me now
Watch me run

Over fields and past the houses
Like a bullet from the gun
Watch the figure fade away
Hearts are breaking
Someone's daughter
Joins with someone's son
It goes on and on again
On and on again
Watch the ripples run

Over fields and past the houses
Watch the rabbit run


8. IN ANSWER

One afternoon
A part of me parted too soon
It slipped away
I don't know what to say
Eyes that drew me in
To wonderful, wonderful sin
And it blew me away
I don't know what to say

In answer
Nothing matters to me

One cold grey afternoon
A part of me parted too soon
And it blew me away
I don't know what to say
Eyes that drew me in
To wonderful, wonderful sin
And it blew me away

In answer
Nothing matters to me
Believe me
You own my soul completely

And from day to day
And from hour to hour
I will be
Always in your power
Set my spirit free

As I fell to the ground
My head swam around and around
And I didn't know
Which way was up or down
One cold grey afternoon
A part of me parted too soon
It slipped away
I don't know what to say

In answer, in answer
You're all that matters to me


9. CHILDHOOD

I saw innocent kids turn cruel
In the playground at school
Poor Claudius played the fool
Survival is cool
One for the space
To prowl as you please
Two for the pulpit
Down on your knees
We've opened out hearts to shame
No-one's to blame

Hey!
Everything was clearer than today
You have to hang on to your childhood
Open your eyes
Or stay as you are my friend
You have to hang on
Hang on

My life is a Milbury's home
On Hereford Way
My life is a Barclays' loan now,
And a mortgage to pay
Let's drink to freedom
And family ties
Here's to the bags
That are under my eyes
We've opened our eyes to pride
But there's nothing inside

Hey!
Everything was clearer than today
You have to hang on to your childhood
Open your eyes
Or stay as you are my friend
You have to hang on
Hang on

How have you been
I hope you go far
Together we'll stand
And prop up the bar
I'm watching you now
Cleaning your car
Open your eyes
Or stay as you are

Just a little more heart now
Just a little bit
Hang on


10. I'LL REMEMBER

(Instrumental)
