Electricity

Our one source of energy
The ultimate discovery
Electric blue for me
Never more to be free
Electricity
Nuclear and HEP
Carbon fuels from the sea
Wasted electricity

Our one source of energy
Electricity
All we need to live today
A gift for man to throw away
The chance to change has nearly gone
The alternative is only one
The final source of energy
Solar electricity

Messages

It worries me this kind of thing
How you hope to live alone and
Occupy your waking hours
We're taking sides again
I just wept I couldn't understand
Why you started this again

And every day you send me more
It makes it worse is this a plan of yours
To ensure I don't forget
I'd write and tell you
That I've burnt them all but
You never send me your address
And I've, I've kept them anyway

So don't ask me if I think it's true that
Communication can bring hope to those
Who have gone their separate ways
It hardly touched me when it should have then
But memories are uncertain friends
When recalled by messages

Coded messages, poison letters

Enola Gay

Enola Gay
You should have stayed at home yesterday
Aha words can't describe
The feeling and the way you lied
These games you play
They're gonna end it more than tears someday
Aha Enola Gay
It shouldn't ever have to end this way

It's 8:15
And that's the time that it's always been
We got your message on the radio
Conditions normal and you're coming home
Enola Gay
Is mother proud of little boy today
Aha this kiss you give
It's never ever gonna fade away

Enola Gay
It shouldn't ever have to end this way
Aha Enola Gay
It shouldn't fade in our dreams away
It's 8:15
And that's the time that it's always been
We got your message on the radio
Conditions normal and you're coming home
Enola Gay
Is mother proud of little boy today
Aha this kiss you give
It's never ever gonna fade away

Souvenir

It's my direction it's my proposal
It's so hard it's leading me astray
My obsession it's my creation
You'll understand it's not important now
All I need is co-ordination
I can't imagine my destination
My intention ask my opinion
But no excuse my feelings still remain
My feelings still remain

Joan Of Arc

A little catholic girl
Who's fallen in love
A face on a page
A gift from above
She should have known better
Than to giver her heart
She should have known better
Than to ever part
Without me, without me

I gave her everything
That I ever owned
I think she understood
But she never spoke
She shouldn't oughta try
To be that way
She shouldn't have to go
There ever again
Without me, without me

Now listen to us good
And listen well
Listen to us all
And everything we tell
We should have known better
Than to giver her away
We should have known better
To this very day
Without me, without me

Now listen Joan of Arc
All you gotta do
Is say the right words
And I'll be coming through
Hold you in my arms
And take you right away

Now she's on her way
To another land
We never understood
Why she gave her hand
She shouldn't oughta promise
Because it's just pretend
I know she doesn't mean it
And she'll leave again
Without me, without me
Without me, without me

Maid Of Orleans

If Joan of Archad a heart
Would she give it as a gift
To such as me who longs to see
How an angel ought to be

Her dream's to give her heart away
Like an orphan on a wave
She cared so much she offered up
Her body to the grave

Telegraph

I've got a telegraph in my hand
Words on paper, written in sand

We've got telegraph, right across this land
It doesn't mean a damn thing. we don't understand
But who needs telegraph anyway?

We've got telegraph, right across this land
It doesn't mean a damn thing
We don't understand, we never understand!

God's got a telegraph on his side
It makes him powerful, gives him pride
Even in America, God bless America! They understand
The value of the telegraph, hand in hand, hand in hand...

Tesla Girls

No No No

Tesla Girls, Tesla Girls
Testing out theories
Electric Chairs and dynamos
Dressed to kill they're killing me
But Heaven knows their recipe

No No No

You wouldn't believe me if I said
The things I've seen went over my head
I've been patient heaven knows
I've learnt the rules and how it goes
I can't sit still or settle down
And when I walk I don't touch the ground
See those girls they're heaven blessed
I guess it's so they know best

Tesla Girls Tesla Girls
Writing in their diaries
Now and then they'll watch TV
Now and then they'll speak to me
But heaven knows their recipe

No No No

You wouldn't believe them if they said
The things they've seen went over their heads
They've been patient heaven knows
They seem to care and so it goes
They can't sit still or settle down
And when they walk they don't touch the ground
See those girls they're heaven blessed
I guess it's so they know best

Tesla Girls Tesla Girls Tesla Girls Tesla Girls

Tesla Girls Tesla Girls
Testing out theories
Electric chairs and dynamos
Dressed to kill they're killing me

Tesla Girls Tesla Girls
I'm in love with Tesla Girls
Now and then they'll watch TV
Now and then they'll speak to me
But heaven knows, but heaven knows
But heaven knows their recipe

Locomotion

Crossing every ocean
For the sake of Locomotion
Crossing every ocean
For the sake of Locomotion

Across every ocean
For the sake of Locomotion
But I wouldn't have a notion
How to save my soul
I walk down the sidewalk
Run down the boardwalk
Stop and make small talk
But I can't say no to you

I can't say no
I can't say yes
I can't even write down
My own address
I can't touch heaven
It's a little too far
It's the only way to travel
Got dreaming on a par
I'm staring through the window
Wondering where you are
Moving through the landscape
At a million miles an hour

Across every nation
From the harbor to the station
It's a form of inspiration
It's a power to the state
They run down the railways
Sail across the seaways
Fly through the airways
But they can't say no to you

I can't stand up
I can't stand still
I know you wouldn't like it
If I told you how I feel
I just want to say
That it's only common sense
But the words always fail me
At my own expense
I'm staring out the window
Wonder where you are
Moving through the landscape
At a million miles an hour

Across every ocean
For the sake of Locomotion
But I wouldn't have a notion
How to save my soul
I walk down the sidewalk
Run down the boardwalk
Stop and make small talk
But I can't say no to you

Crossing every ocean
For the sake of Locomotion...

Talking Loud And Clear

Talking loud and clear
Saying just what we feel
Lying in the grass
With the sun on our backs
It doesn't really matter
What we do or what we say
With every little movement
We give ourselves away

Opposite and opposite
Decisions are reversed
Facing one another
With words that couldn't hurt
With every little word
You're getting closer to me
Talking loud and clear
Saying just what we feel today

Talking loud and clear
Saying just what we feel
Lying in the grass
We've got time on our hands
Body next to body
With silence all around
We understand each other
But didn't make a sound

Promises and promises
Of vows we shall return
Facing one another
I thought my heart would burn
You turn to move away
But then get closer to me
Talking loud and clear
Saying just what we feel today

So In Love

Talk to me, don't lie to me
Save your breath
Don't look at me, don't smile at me
Just close your eyes
I was so impressed by you
I was running blind
I would fall for every trick
Every twist of mind

Heaven is cold
Without any soul
It's hard to believe
I was so in love with you

Don't say your prayers
Don't build your hopes
Just walk away
Don't phone me up
Don't call around
Don't waste your time
You were so in awe of me
You were so divine
You would do just anything
To still be mine

Heaven is cold
Without any soul
It's hard to believe
I was so in love with you

All the things you said to me
I was so obsessed
You were always talking talking
God I did my best

Heaven is cold
Without any soul
It's hard to believe
I was so in love with you

Secret

I got a secret and I can't explain
All the time, I've waited for this day
All along I was never in doubt
I always knew it would never get out
There are things that I cannot tell
And there are things that you know damn well
This is getting very hard for me
I guess you'd better just wait and see

This is all, this is all

You heard a message and the message was clear
All the time you wipe away that tear
And all I want is to hold your hand
To see the sun and walk the sand
You make me sad and you make me glad
My secret is this love, is love, Is love, all my secret is this love

Everyday you're always there
You comfort me and make me feel it's worth my while
And then I look around and you're not there
And everyday you say you care and I'll beware

This is all, this is all

I've got a secret and I can't explain
All I want is to hold your hand
All along I was never in doubt
To see the sun and to walk the sand

If You Leave

If you leave, don't leave now
Please don't take my heart away
Promise me just one more night
Then we'll go our separate ways
We always had time on our side
Now it's fading fast
Every second, every moment
We've got to, we've got to make it last

I touch you once, I touch you twice
I won't let go at any price
I need you now like I need you then
We always said we'd still be friends someday

If you leave, I won't cry
I won't waste one single day
But if you leave, don't look back
I'll run the other way
Seven years went under the bridge
Like time was standing still
Heaven knows what happens now
You've got to, you've got to say you will

I touch you once, I touch you twice
I won't let go at any price
I need you now like I need you then
We always said we'd meet again

I touch you once, I touch you twice
I won't let go at any price
I need you now like I need you then
We always said we'd still be friends

I touch you once, I touch you twice
I won't let go at any price
I need you now like I need you then
You always said we'd meet again someday

Aha-a, aha-a, aha-a, aha-a...

If you leave
Oh, if you leave
Oh, if you leave
Don't look back
Don't look back

(Forever) Live And Die

I never wanted another
Come over to me and discover
How I want to be near you
And you need to be far away
You always seem to make me feel
At home
Hey you
You're people like us

I never know, I never know, I never know why
You make me wanna cry
I never know, I never know, I never know why
Forever live and die

I look at all the people
They're doing it over and over
You never get any older
Well I wish that you could be here
I look at you and I make the same mistakes
Hey you
You're people like us

I never know, I never know, I never know why
You make me wanna cry
I never know, I never know, I never know why
Forever live and die

I never know, I never know, I never know why
You make me wanna cry
I never know, I never know, I never know why
Forever live and die

Dreaming

If you were born in heaven girl
I'd understand so well
But ever since I met you child
You've made my life such hell
With every day that passes
I fall nearer to the ground
It seems that I've been looking for
Something that won't be found

I was only dreaming
I was only trying to catch your eye
I was only wishing you would notice me
Instead you said goodbye

Could this be the new answer then
To all the dreams we've made
Could there be some solution please
To rid me of this craze
But every single second that you
Hold me in your arms
You build me up you raise me up
You kill me with your charms

I was only dreaming
I was only trying to catch your eye
I was only wishing you would notice me
Instead you said goodbye

Won't you stay here tonight?
Won't you make these feelings last?
Can't we start this all again?
Would that be just too much to ask?

I was only dreaming
I was only trying to catch your eye
I was only wishing you would notice me
Instead you said goodbye

I was only dreaming
I was only trying to catch your eye
I was only wishing you would notice me
Instead you said goodbye

Genetic Engineering

Efficient, logical, effective, and practical
Using all resources to the best of our ability
Changing, designing, adapting our mentalities
Improving our abilities for a better way of life
Babies. Mother. Hospital. Scissors.
Creature. Judgment. Butcher. Engineer.
These are the little children,
The future in our hands
When all God's children on this earth
Inherit all our plans
These are the lies they tell us
But this is the only way
When all God's children on the earth
Will evermore be saved
Babies. Mother. Hospital. Scissors.
Creature. Judgment. Butcher. Engineer.
These are the little children,
The future in our hands
When all God's children on this earth
Inherit all our plans
These are the lies they tell us,
The future's good as sold
In all the things we do and know,
We really must be told

We Love You

We've got to get a message to the stars above
Like radios in heaven hearing just enough
And every single tear drop along the way
We put them in our pockets for a rainy day

But here we are in trouble like we always are
Just praying for a miracle and reaching for stars

We love you would die for you
We need you every day

We got to get a message to the promised land
Like semaphores in motion so they'll understand
But every single vision that we saw today
We didn't quite believe it in the usual way

Yet here we are in heaven who could want for more
We always end up getting what we're asking for

We love you would die for you
We need you every day

It's just another promise like we've heard before
We're never really knowing what we're fighting for

We love you would die for you
We need you every day
We love you wouldn't leave you
We miss you far away

We love you would die for you
We need you every day
We miss you far away
We love you would die for you
We need you every day

La Femme Accident

La femme accident's got everything you want
You never have to know
You never have to show
She's hanging on your every word

She clings to your heart she won't let you depart
Oh this mine but she's with you all the time
She's crying like a fragile child

But if you get to know her she's not a little girl
And if she gets to know you you can't escape her world

La femme accident a woman full of want
Her hearts on the line you haven't go the time
She suffers like some Joan of Arc

She says there's just no justice in this world
She's paradise for a day

La femme accident what reason could you want
Just use her and turn away
La femme accident got everything you want
She's paradise for a day
