Listen To Me
Betrayed
Thoughts of mine, so plain to see
Precious art or facsimile?
No-one laughs and no-one cries
Words are betrayed by their eyes
I said I wanted to be you
You said there’s nothing to do
I said I wanted to be here
You said there’s nothing to fear
I said I want to believe you
You said that I didn’t need to
I said… You said… We said…
I want to believe you
I have a pain, a tear in my heart
About a dream—when will it start?
Another year, they disappear
Words are difficult to hear
Fools
I said to you
You said to me
What should we do?
What should we see?
It’s not my fault
It’s not my line
Don’t call a halt
This love is mine
These games you play don’t know the rules
Make further plans and act like fools
I said I know
You said you’d leave
Where should we go?
Where should we grieve?
No second chance
No second place
Don’t stop the dance
Don’t end the race
90 Miles Per Hour
Another one, just for fun
Playing with a loaded gun
A rush, a thrill, a silent kill
Swallowing a bitter pill
From the depths, your only power
Flying at 90 miles per hour
Words are said with eyes ablaze
On memories long lost in haze
Here it ends, with slamming doors
A final act with pointless scores
From the depths, your only power
Flying at 90 miles per hour
A misplaced soul, out of control
Guilt and remorse takes its toll
Turn in sharp and take a breath
Unknowingly moving to your death
From the depths, your only power
Flying at 90 miles per hour
Light your fire and call a friend
This isn’t how it’s meant to end
A final word, a blinding light
A crashing sound to wake the night
From the depths, your only power
Flying at 90 miles per hour

Up For Hire
Half-hearted. Controlled paces
Expressionless. Cold. Dead faces
Heal deep. Worn-out places
Fixing. Mental races
Ignoring warnings that were said
No-hope couples queue up to wed
Press invaders in your bed
We know what goes on in your head
A shallow grave is all but dug
Money. An addictive drug
Feel its pull. Catch the bug
Turn round fast and pull the plug
Foolish motives. Call it desire
Self-respect burned in the fire
Never falter. Never tire
Whose voice is that up for hire?
Generation
Don’t you worry, they say
But don’t you get in our way
No future. They cried
But no-one critical died
They heard you call for a review
They are sick of the sight of you
Theme From Project Noise
Instrumental
The Way We Are
Dead streets. Sale sign
Valentine, be mine
Mobile phone. ‘Dog and bone.’
Stocks and shares. Bank and loan
Money. Trees. Aching knees
Scratch and sniff. Lovers’ tiff
Heartbreak. Toothache
Lost stake. We fake
Bungee girl. Camera crew
Lipstick. Hair: slick
Cutting locks. Comic socks
Fashion sense. World events
CNN. News at Ten
Crime wave. Behave
Learn to prey. Walk away
Replay. Don’t stray
Smokescreen
Sleepwalking in the middle of a dream
Tightrope steps and a silent scream
Waking dead, you feel the heat
A taste so strong, a taste so sweet
Video captures still the heart
We’re all still a world apart
Fighting for a better day
All our dreams just slip away
From the depths, a tainted mind
Nothing ends up far behind
Wisdom hides a secret clue:
All you need’s inside of you
Sleepwalking in the middle of a dream
Tightrope steps and a silent scream
Waking dead, you feel the heat
A taste so strong, a taste so sweet
Crowds And Dreams
Instrumental
Fever
Lights inside my head
Evoke the waking dead
And the mystery of the mind, yeah
The pain inside won't sleep
It begins to creep
I know that soon I’ll be struck blind, yeah
A choking hold. Begin
To tear the second skin
All these feelings can’t be mine, yeah
For every moment lost
I’ll never know the cost
I never learned to draw the line, yeah
Smother/feed
Internal bleed
I’m so cold
It’s all black inside
There’s no place to hide
All these feelings can't be mine, yeah
Laid To Rest
Instrumental
Assist/Persist
I don’t know what I’m doing here, no
I don’t know what I’m saying, no
I don’t know what I’m doing here, no
I don’t know what I’m saying, so
Help me to divide the highway
Help me to survive this my way
I don’t know what I’m doing here, no
I don’t know what I’m saying, no
I don’t know what I’m doing here, no
I don’t know what I’m saying, so
Help me to divide this my way
Help me to survive the highway
I need assistance
I… I… I…
I don’t know what I’m doing here, no
I don’t know what I’m saying, no
I don’t know what I’m doing here, no
I don’t know what I’m saying, so
Help me to divide the highway
Help me to survive this my way
Help me to divide this my way
Help me to survive the highway
Help me to divide the highway
Help me to survive this my way
Help me to divide this my way
Help me to survive the highway
No Return
They said: “Never come round here no more”
It was everything you waited for
Never dream and make-believe
All of it, build to deceive
They said: “Never come round here no more”
Inside Of Me
Turn on your TV screen!
Turn on your TV screen!
I said: no way, no way, no way!
I said: no way, no way, no way!
You’ll never get a piece of me!
You’ll never get inside of me!
Inside of me, inside of me
Inside of me, oh no
You’ll never get inside of me
Never get inside of me
Turn on your TV screen!
Turn on your TV screen!
On your TV, turn on
Turn on, turn on your TV screen!
Inside of me, inside of me
Inside of me, oh no
You’ll never get inside of me
Never get inside of me
