"Girls On Film"
See them walking hand in hand across the bridge at midnight Heads turning as the lights flashing out it's so bright Then walk right out to the fourline track There's a camera rolling on her back, on her back And I sense the 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 In 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 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 till 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 Girls on film (what ya doing), girls on film
"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
"Is There Anyone Out There?"
I never found out what made you leave Another day's over just an hour to go Well I tried to phone last night but you never answered Just left me ringing on the line
Outside is there anyone out there anyone else outside Woah outside love is there anyone out there anyone else outside
My face in the mirror shows a break in time A crack in the ocean, it does not align I tried to sleep last night, but I've caught ya dreaming About days we used to wonder away
Outside is there anyone out there anyone else outside Woah outside love is there anyone out there anyone else outside
Look out of the window maybe you can call by my name Another night over babe another light comes on in vain Well I tried to phone last night but you never answered You just left me ringing in the air
Is there anyone out there (anyone out there) oh, oh Anyone out there (anyone out there) oh, oh Anyone out there (anyone out there) oh, oh Anyone out there (anyone out there) oh, oh Anyone out there (anyone out there)

"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...
"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
"Night Boat"
Standing on the edge of a quay no lights flashing on the water for me Fog in my mind darkens my eyes silently streaming for a distant sound Ripple river yellows rising for a breath of breeding and drowns Stillness overcomes me in the night listen to the rising water moan
I'm waiting, waiting for the night boat woo I'm waiting Waiting for the night boat
Shadows all through me shudder away echo me echo me (echo me) Am I alone or is the river alive cause it echos me, echos me, echos me
I'm waiting, waiting for the night boat woo I'm waiting Waiting for the night boat
Waiting (waiting) waiting for the night boat woo I'm waiting (waiting) Waiting for the night boat waiting for the night boat woo I'm waiting Waiting for the night boat I'm wating for the night boat

"Sound Of Thunder"
I've been in this grass here for the last ten hours My clothes are dirty but my mouth isn't dry How does it happen does it fly through the air Woah I gave up asking days away I gave up asking days away
And now I'm lying here waiting for the sound of thunder Waiting for the sound of thunder
Here I am I'm a dotted line cut in through corners stick me through your door I'm the man who stepped off the path Am I just lying here that's what I was made for
And now my eyes are closing but I still feel the land Leaning out for the touch of my hand The world spins so fast that I might fly off The world spins so fast that I might fly off The world spins so fast that I might fly off
Waiting for the sound of thunder I'm waiting for the sound of thunder [repeat and fade]
"Friends Of Mine"
Friends of mine they said they were friends of mine Said they were passing time more like a waste of time Close the door I said close the door I've told you twice before what are you waiting for
Georgie Davis is coming out no more heros we twist and shout Oh no not me I'm not too late and I know that I'm not taking anymore Rocky picture has lost his gun leave him out now he's having fun Oh not not me I'm not too late and I know that I'm not waiting anymore hey hey
Silly lies don't have to advertise when will you realize I'm sick of your alibis Running cold the water's running cold it's time that you were told I think you're growing old
Georgie Davis is coming out no more heros we twist and shout Oh no not me I'm not too late and I know that I'm not waiting anymore Rocky picture has lost his gun leave him out now he's having fun Oh not not me I'm not too late and I know that I'm not taking anymore hey hey
I see you smile pictures on the wall there all friends of mine See you standing round the back friends of mine think youself lucky Friends of mine they said they were friends of mine They were just wasting time out on the dotted line Money's gone I've known it all along why don't you say i'm wrong Why don't they drop the bomb Cause Georgie Davis is coming out no more heros we twist and shout Oh no not me I'm not too late and I know that I'm not waiting anymore Rocky picture has thrown away his gun leave him out now he's having fun Oh not not me I'm not too late and I know that I'm not taking anymore What you doing friends of mine holding back you're no friend of mine I've always heard you calling
"To The Shore"
Oh when your nine day feed is up and you've drained your loving cup Come stands reeling to the shore oh when the brave are coming out The dry fight and the dusty shout see you crawling on the floor And diamond stars shining glitter bright gorging your sanhedralites Words are falling to the floor glad stand pouring fruit trees And now they glisten on the waterline sing home you are at the shore I'm moving crissie pretty flowers in the shuttermaze Haul up all your petty desires leave them lying down they fall Wash away the rusty disease of your brown town days in our silver sea Leave it dying at the door feather yellow your time to leave Open out your arms and breathe Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh to the shore now Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh to the shore now come on

Here is what he says.... She is the fairies' midwife, and she comes In shape no bigger than an agate stone On the forefinger of an alderman, Drawn with a team of little atomies Over men's noses as they lie asleep;
It is from Romeo and Juliet. Mercutio is talking about being visited by Queen Mab in sleep.
