1. is there something i should know

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

I made a break 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 the pictures
they 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 stay

please please tell me now i
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
cos the dream that strings the road
with broken glass for us to hold
and I got 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
please please tell me now
can you see what makes me blow
please please tell me now
is there something I should know
is there something i should say
that would make you come my way

2. hungry like the wolf

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

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 dodo dododo dodo
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 dodo dododo dodo

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, al lrunning 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
I smell like I 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'm on the hunt, I'm after you
Mouth is alive with juices like wine
And I'm hungry like the wolf

3. new religion

I've been now sauntering
Out and down the path sometime
Come on, it takes me nowhere, which I knew
Faces everywhere pulling grins and signs in things
Telling me not there, man, it's no go
Don't go there boy

I need a reason
I can't think without one now
Too much learning got to show
Call it treason
Maybe catch her, don't know how
Too many things, too much to know

Bring my timing in, seagulls gather on the wind
Lady screaming, lady leave me out
'Cause sometimes people stare
Coming down, electric chair
And steaming crowds they gather and they shout

Don't know why this evil bothers me
Take another chance boy, carry the fight,
you can take him if you're fast
So why is he trying to follow me?
didn't I say if you're holding on
you'd be laughing at the last
How many reasons do they need?
I get along fine with them friends of mine
but you have to make a choice
I might just believe this time
You're singing out of tune but the beat's in time
and it's us who makes the noise

I'm talking for free, I can't stop myself,
It's a new religion
I've something to see, I can't help myself,
It's a new religion

Okay, my reasoning might be clouded by the sun
But someone sees the departmental lie
You know this peacetime jabbing fist in stabbing knife
Only get one look before you die

Don't know why this evil bothers me
Take another chance boy, carry the fight,
you can take him if you're fast
So why is he trying to follow me?
didn't I say if you're holding on
you'd be laughing at the last
How many reasons do they need?
I get along fine with them friends of mine
but you have to make a choice
I might just believe this time
You're singing out of tune but the beat's in time
and it's us who makes the noise

I'm talking for free, I can't stop myself,
It's a new religion
I've something to see, I can't help myself,
It's a new religion

Gotta take pay the saints 'n sinners
In regulation hats 'n scarves 'n things
Walking in formation down the lane,
They carry their cross, make a church bell ring
Army majors pull a mean cool truth,
There lying in a swimming pool
Searching for the undeniable truth that
A man is just a fool

Don't know why this evil bothers me
Take another chance boy, carry the fight,
you can take him if you're fast
So why is he trying to follow me?
didn't I say if you're holding on
you'd be laughing at the last
How many reasons do they need?
I get along fine with them friends of mine
but you have to make a choice
I might just believe this time
You're singing out of tune but the beat's in time
and it's us who makes the noise

I'm talking for free, I can't stop myself,
It's a new religion
I've something to see, I can't help myself,
It's a new religion

4. save a prayer

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 save 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 till the morning after

Pretty looking road,
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

Save a prayer 'til the morning after

5. wild boys

The wild boys are calling
on their way back from the fire
in august moon's surrender to
a dust cloud on the rise
wild boys fallen far from glory
reckless and so hungered
on the razors edge you trail
because there's 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 bloodstain 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
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

6. the seventh stranger

Those words are all remainders
Echoes growing in the heart of twilight
They lay back laughing at naivety's star
Awaken all those whispers in the dusty shadow of a
passing favour
I wouldn't say that you were ruthless or right
I couldn't see from so far
Was I chasing after rainbows
One thing for sure you never answered when I called
And I wiped away the water from my face
To look through the eyes of a stranger
For rumours in the wake of such a lonely crowd
Trading in my shelter for danger
I'm changing my name just as the sun goes down
In the eyes of a stranger

Can't tell the real from reflections
When all these faces look the same to me
In every city such a desolate dream
Some days are strange to number
some say the seventh sounds a little bit stranger
A year of Sundays seems to have drifted right by
(I could have sworn) in one evening
And I'm not seized in desperation
No steel reproaches on the table from before
But I still can feel those splinters of ice
I look through the eyes of a stranger
For rumours in the wake of such a lonely crowd
Trading in my shelter for danger
I'm changing my name just as the sun goes down
In the eyes of a stranger

I must be chasing after rainbows
One thing for sure you never answer when I call
And I wipe away the water from my face
To look through the eyes of a stranger
For rumour in the wake of such a lonely crowd
Trading in my shelter for danger
I'm changing my name just as the sun goes down
Walking away like a stranger
From rumours in the wake of such a lonely crowd
Trading in my shelter for danger
I'm changing my name just as the sun goes down
In the eyes of a stranger

7. the chauffeur

Out on the tar plains, the glides are moving
All looking for a new place to drive
You sit beside me, so newly charming
Sweating dew drops glisten, freshing your side

CHORUS
The sun slips down bedding heavy behind
The front of your dress all shadowy lined
And the droning engine throbs in time
With your beating heart
Sing Blue Silver

Way down the lane away, living for another day
The aphids swarm up in the drifting haze
Swim seagull in the sky
Towards that hollow western isle
My envied lady holds you fast in her gaze

CHORUS

And watching lovers part, I feel you smiling
What glass splinters lie so deep in your mind
To tear out from your eyes
With a word to stiffen brooding lies
But I'll only watch you leave me further behind

CHORUS
***********************************************************
8. union of the snake

Telegram force and ready
I knew this was a big mistake
There'sa 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

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

9. planet earth

Only came outside to watch the night fall 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?
is 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
this 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

10. careless memories

So soon,
just after you've gone
my senses sharpen
But it always takes
so damned long
before I feel how much
my eyes have darkened

Fear hangs a plane of gunsmoke
drifting in our room
so easy to disturb
with a thought
with a whisper...
with a careless memory

On the table
signs of love life scattered...
and the walls break
we go crashing within
It's not as though--
as though you really mattered
But being close,
how could I let you go
without some feeling
some precious sympathy following

Fear hangs a plane of gunsmoke
drifting in our room
so easy to disturb
with a thought
with a whisper...
with a careless memory

I walk out into the sun
I try to find a new day
but the whole place
it just screams in my eyes
where are you now?
cuz I don't want to meet you
I think I'd die--
I think I'd laugh at you--
I think I'd cry--
What am I supposed to do,
follow you?

Outside the thoughts
come flooding back now...
I just try to forget you...
So easy to disturb
with a thought...
with a whisper...
with a careless memory...
