Vermilion Sands


My heart is an alligator
Better watch your step - watch your step
This heat is an incubator
Make a diamond sweat - wanna bet
Live life like you're flying solo
Never in the net - in the net

Dancing in silence the orchestra late
In the Essoldo or down by the lake
I don't care

Take me to Vermilion Sands
Hold me in familiar hands
Take me to Vermilion Sands

Sandyacht on a thermal roller
We were never there - never there
Live life like you're flying solo
Never in the air - in the air

Dancing in silence the orchestra late
In the Essoldo or down by the lake
I don't care

Take me to Vermilion Sands
Hold me in familiar hands
Take me to Vermilion Sands

My heart is an alligator
Better watch your step - watch your step
This heat is an incubator
Make a diamond sweat - wanna bet

Take me to Vermilion Sands
Hold me in familiar hands
Take me to Vermilion Sands

Rainbow Warrior


Run
Run for shelter
Hide from the wind
Further on
We may help you
In the end

Sun
Sun as always
Will guard where you lay
And the walls are down
And the waters drown
Where you stay

Waiting
Waiting
Waiting for the Rainbow Warrior

So
Son of logic
Boy born of light
Is the picture drawn
Is the harvest one
Step away

Waiting
Waiting
Waiting for the Rainbow Warrior

On TV


In your houses late at night
Sit down cosy, kill that light
Watch a movie, watch a fight
Feeling safe as well you might
When you dream in black and white
It can only happen
On TV, on TV
In the bathroom in your bed
Wall to wall we're in your head Finger on remote control
We are wired to your soul
We got idols we got dreams
It can only happen

On TV
On TV
On TV

We got idols we got dreams
Keep your eyes fixed on the screen
Squeeze your life there in between

On TV
On TV
On TV, TV, TV

Ecstasy for you and me
Here at home on your TV

TV TV TV

Turning up the volume 'cos it's blowing up your head
Look at your eyes they're going red

Turn it on!
Turn it off!
Turn it on!
Turn it off!

Man in a White Car


I see a man in a white car
Move like a ghost on the skyline
Take all your dreams
And you throw them away
Man in a white car.

Living In The Plastic Age


Every day my metal friend
Shakes my bed at 6am
Then the shiny serving clones
Run in with my telephones

Talking fast I make a deal
Buy the fake and sell what's real
What's this pain here in my chest?
Maybe I should take a rest

They send the heart police to put you under,
Cardiac arrest
and as they drag you the door
They tell you that you've failed the test

Living in the ...
Living in the plastic age
Looking only half my age
Hello doctor lift my face

I wish my skin could stand the pace
In the bed I read my mind
Remember how the mice were blind
I watch them fighting in their cage
Could this be the plastic age?

They send the heart police
to put you under cardiac arrest
and as they drag you the door
they tell you that you've failed the test

Living in the
Plastic age
Plastic age
Plastic age

They send the heart police to put you under Cardiac arrest
and as they drag you the door
They tell you that you've failed the test

Living in the plastic age
Plastic age
Plastic age

Lenny


All the fools who await your return
May we tell them the truth
There's no way you can turn back the clock
Never cling to your youth

How unfortunate it must have been
Life is only a race
You're so old that it might take a crane
Just to lift back your face

Scientific so scientific
Scientific so scientific
But you were walking on glass

How unstable we bolt with the horse
Setting music to muscle
All the fallers who litter the course
As we run to the castle

Scientific so scientific
Scientific so scientific
But you were walking on glass

Careful - you're walking on glass
you're walking on glass

When you say that the sun does not move
Did it show you the answer
When the ships do not fall off the world
Does it mean there's a wall there

You say the sun does not move
Careful - you could be walking on glass
He could see that the earth was a mover
And the sun was a mother

But he was walking on glass

Kid Dynamo


Though today you might be riding
The engines of progress
Working in the major factories
Call me if you ever feel like letting go

I still remember the days of
Kid Dynamo, Kid Dynamo
Kid Dynamo, Kid Dynamo

bowowowowowo wa-ah ow
wowowowowowo wa-ah ow
Spreading in the subways
of the playback from the train tracks
I think your mind was born with water wings
and now when I see you
all the generation screams
I remember the dreams of
Kid Dynamo, Kid Dynamo
Kid Dynamo, Kid Dynamo

Kid Dynamo, I remember you
Kid Dynamo, because I sleep with you
Kid Dynamo, cause I have been with you
Oh let it be said
how the media builds stars
and our minds will not change
only our cars

Kid Dynamo, Kid Dynamo
Kid Dynamo
Kid Dynamo
Kid Dynamo


Kid Dynamo, I remember you
Kid Dynamo, because I think of you
Kid Dynamo, cause I have looked at you
Kid Dynamo,
Kid Dynamo, Kid Dynamo


Kid Dynamo, Kid Dynamo

Johnny on the Monorail


Don't, don't make wars and walkaway
even in the streets your feet don't move
see their faces through the perspex
turn to stare back up at you
you, your eyes are green and mine are blue
in the subway darkness I am watching you

Oh my-my, you are so sci-fi,
please will you let me ride?

Johnny, riding on the monorail
Johnny, riding on the monorail
Johnny, riding on the monorail

Monora-a-a-il
Oooh, you know that life is terminal,
it's the Paris pullman in your mind again
eyes like cameras move their lenses
take this dream I offer you

Johnny, riding on the monorail
Johnny, riding on the monorail
Johnny, riding on the monorail

All we cannot see we call invisible
Tracks that move on pylons through the sky
oh my my you are so sci-fi
please will you let me ride

Johnny riding on the monorail
Johnny riding on the monorail
Johnny riding on the monorail

Johnny on the monorail
Johnny on the monorail
Johnny on the monorail
Johnny on the monorail
Johnny on the monorail
Johnny on the monorail
Johnny on the monorail

Inner City


Here with a suitcase in my hand
I walk the street to find a fortune teller
But when the future's in your palm
They read it like a book that lasts forever

Makes you run
One last train for the inner city
Run

You I know are like the rest
You're holding on with all the best intentions
But tear the fabric off your nest
You'll find the eggs have gone
and no one mentions

How you run
One last train for the inner city
Run
One last train for the inner city

Here in the sun
There on the sand
Falling like angels
You hold out your hand

Turn on
Hold out
We will be there
In the end

Run
One last train for the inner city
Run
One last train for the inner city
Run
One last train for the inner city
Run

Video Killed The Radio Star

I heard you on the wireless back in Fifty Two
Lying awake intent at tuning in on you.
If I was young it didn't stop you coming through.
Oh-a oh

They took the credit for your second symphony.
Rewritten by machine and new technology,
and now I understand the problems you can see.
Oh-a oh

I met your children
Oh-a oh

What did you tell them?

Video killed the radio star.
Video killed the radio star.

Pictures came and broke your heart.
Oh-a-a-a oh

And now we meet in an abandoned studio.
We hear the playback and it seems so long ago.
And you remember the jingles used to go.
Oh-a oh

You were the first one.
Oh-a oh

You were the last one.

Video killed the radio star.
Video killed the radio star.

In my mind and in my car,
we can't rewind we've gone to far

Oh-a-aho oh,
Oh-a-aho oh

Video killed the radio star.
Video killed the radio star.

In my mind and in my car,
we can't rewind we've gone to far.

Pictures came and broke your heart,
put the blame on VTR.

You are a radio star.
You are a radio star.

Video killed the radio star.
Video killed the radio star.

Video killed the radio star.
Video killed the radio star.

Video killed the radio star.
(You are a radio star.)

I Love You (Miss Robot)


I love you miss robot
electronically
I love you miss robot
programmed just to please

You make love like a metronome
don't drive to fast when you take me home
touch the seam on your silver skin
I feel so hard when you take me in
I love you miss robot
electronically?BR> I love you miss robot,
programmed just to please

Talk of love on the telephone
when your voice fades theres a paying tone
force a coin and your there again
and my loneliness is paid away

I love you miss robot
programmed just to please
I love you miss robot
Electronically

I must leave miss robot,
give yourself to me
I love you miss robot
Do you love me?

I love you miss robot
electronically
I love you miss robot
Programmed just to please

I must leave miss robot
give yourself to me
I love you miss robot

I Am A Camera


Memories how they fade so fast
Look back there is no escape
Tied down now you see too late
Lovers they will never wait

I am a camera
I am a camera

Take heart I will never let you go
If you wanna let your feelings show
Lovers all how they never broke your heart
You lose them if the feeling starts

I am a camera, camera, camera
I am a camera, camera, camera

There by the waterside
Here where the lens is wide
You and me by the sea
Taken in tranquility

Take heart I will never let you go
If you wanna let your feelings show
Lovers all how they never broke your heart
You lose them if the feeling starts

I am, I am a camera
I am a camera, I am a camera

I am, I am a camera
I am a camera,I am a camera

There by the waterside
Here where the lens is wide
You and me by the sea

Elstree


Oh go Johnny kick me in the head,
Aimin' for the floorboard but they pick me up instead
through the ringing from the night before
the engines running gotta pay a call

Johnny drove the halftrack
cause we could not find the jeep
with me in the morning gotta get some sleep
driving all night out of fear
got in the ribs every time I changed gear

I'm gonna take a ride, gonna pick up the team
gonna go where we've never been
I'm gonna pick up the team
(pickin up, picken up the team)

now you know how it's hard to keep the fighting clean
clean clean
clean clean
clean clean

Oh go Johnny gonna fight the war
shotgun in the morning at the local liquor store
oh go talking bout them diesel fuels
Johnny tell the chaplain go and polish his tombs
lying on the wasteground with a blanket on his face
indicating that he's left the human race
hell went open when the world came in
gotta keep your head if you wanna win

I'm gonna take a ride, gonna pick up the team
gonna go where we've never been
I'm gonna pick up the team
(picking up, pickin up the team)
now you know it's hard to keep the fighting

clean clean
clean clean

clean clean

lost a million in the very first attack
clean clean

don't you worry cause you know we'll get them back

Beatnik


All will be revealed before the next move
All will be revealed before the next move

Gimme some juice and let me blow
Tell that joker where to go
Gimme some air and let me breathe
Wake me when it's time to leave

I was a Beatnik

A shark tooth fin and a Chevrolet
A wild boy takes it all the way
No more Charlie it's my throat
Send the bell-boy for my coat

I was a Beatnik
All will be revealed before the next move
All will be revealed before the next move

I got to see you one more time
Show you to a friend of mine
Poor white man on an asian beat
An exis kid with a graceful streak

I was a Beatnik
No more from Charlie
No more from Cole
No more expresso
I was a Beatnik
All will be revealed before the next move
All will be revealed before the next move

No more expresso...

Astro Boy (And the Proles on Parade)


All of those wild American bilinguals
who talk to you in Paris of their lonely lives
school days and last days out there in the midwest
they climb on their liners and rejoin their wives

Walking down boulevards electric eyes
would gaze at the waveforms and gasp at their size
let them be lonely and say you don't care

Astro boy, I'm watching the proles on parade
Astro boy, I'm watching the proles on parade

Una with long hair will stand by your side
and the friends who were hungry could swallow your pride
chromium pets that video screens would show
pictures of helplessness old kings and queens
radio stations that fade as in dust

all their transmitters are crumbling with rust
let them be broken and say you don't care

Astro boy, I'm watching the proles on parade
Astro boy, I'm watching the proles on parade
Astro boy, I'm watching the proles on parade
Let them be broken and say you don't care
Astro boy, I'm watching the proles on parade

Adventures In Modern Recording


There's a kid in a band
Got an axe in his hand
He's been learning all the chords
and he's writing all the words
Today you bought a new face
Tried it on for size
Now you see the world through
Different coloured eyes

They're not playing
They're not playing
They're just having
Adventures in modern recording
Adventures in modern recording
Adventures in modern recording

So carefully directed
For modern mass appeal
Look just like a poster
Got yourself a deal
Let's begin promotion
This boy has got it made
Media exposure
It will make him all the rage

But he's not playing
He's not playing
He's just having
Adventures in modern recording
Adventures in modern recording
