TALKING HEADS

If you love this place called earth
For all your worth you don't come first
And those enabled by what they've heard 
Come on speak up let's change this world

The Duchess is on the news 
The system is being abused 
Our government is excused 
While The Duchess is on the news

Talk to the dead
Or walk away
Talking heads
Justify what you say!

We can see there is a virus in the White house
No O M G what's going down
We can see there is enough that reminds us
These fucks run free in crazy town!

Do you cherish this mortal coil
The life that lives on its precious soil
Then don't be shameful and hold your voice
The corrupt untouched have made their choice
 
Who can want this elitist greed
Where one clique has all they need
To all those careful to hoard their wealth
You could show love and change yourself

UNIVERSE

What is this all about?
What is the truth if the truth is not allowed?
There’s been no man who’s lived without regrets
There’s been no time when there are no secrets left

That’s why we feel
That’s why we’re here
That’s why it hurts
That’s why it’s worth
The whole planet earth 

You only get one life
You only get this time
Falling from the skies
It’s something I have realised
You only get this life
You only get one try
Falling from your eyes
Something I can recognise

That, that is just how it is
That is the feeling you get when you give
And this woman who could be a works of art
You’ve got to stop now and listen to your heart

That’s why we feel
That’s why we’re here
That’s why it hurts
That’s why it’s worth
The whole universe

And all in all it’s just a picture scene
The UFOs and flashing lights fill my dreams
There aint no place to hide, or so it seems
Even though I’ve tried you’ve got a hold on me

Universe

Buy Universe

Where Does It End?
Protective Fences

If we tolerate this, we tolerate anything.
We must stop this right now.
If we tolerate this, we tolerate anything.
We must resist this some how.

In western towns and cities it’s a dead end world.
Walking round like zombies under demonic spell.
With the whole of their hearts and something missing in their heads.
Crawling in the dark until there’s nothing left.

Where will it end?
If we tolerate this we tolerate anything.
We must stop this right now.
If we tolerate this, we tolerate anything.
We must resist this some how.

Up and down the country things ain’t going so well.
With all the decadence around us it’s like living in hell.
It’s a kind of funny but you know what’s really sad?
It’s all about the money and everything we once had.

Won’t you sit down you’re not suffragettes.
The fools gathered round for all manner of tests, let’s not pretend. 
Washing it down with wine and regrets, where will it end?
Calling the clowns on their private jets, it’s them again,
and again, 
and again,
It’s them!

Where Does it End

BIG SKY

While the lambs line up in space 
The greeks roll out the human race
Like the man wound up inside  
I stand up… before the big sky 

I’m changing all my clothes
We’re breathing chemicals 
As every psychopath knows
We’re seeking miracles
Can’t look back without regretting
We’re breathing chemicals
Just press reset to factory settings
We’re seeking miracles
 
The dealer plays for love in shades
An artist, he could go on for days
Like a narrator who has lost his lines 
I come down… from the big sky

Wicked like the world
Sticking with the girl
Sinking in the mud 
Anticipating love

These…
Synthetic scenes
Symbiotic memes
Hypnotic Dreams
Universal Themes

THE LIGHT THAT NEVER FADES

I don’t know where I’ve been, I’ve woken up with you.
I don’t know what it means, or what I’m gonna do. 
I think I may have seen two worlds collide into…
Your inner most dreams, an absolute taboo.
  
There are so many ways that we fall down. 
So many different things we’ll never see. 
There were so many miles between us now. 
So many instant things we’re meant to be.

I’ll be searching for you until the end of time.
I'll been searching for you at the finish line. 
I've been searching for you on every street. 
I’ll be searching…
Until you’re here with me...

The light that never fades.  

You take this to extremes the last one left was you. 
The river runs upstream the truth that is untrue.
I think it may have been you girl riding through. 
the final battle scene is a crimson red tattoo.

Glossy magazines, unsolved crimes, 
Another cup of tea, parallel lines. 
Another plane missing in the northern skies... 
The long slow fade into black and white.
The cold dark breeze in the summer sun. 
Another twisted story and it’s number one, 
Horrors unseen, a love unsung, 
Another long journey that you’ve never done.

FALSE LOVE

I know I can’t forgive myself, can’t live without you
I know you’re hurting bad and what it’s down to
You told me I’ve been fooling no one
I know myself that I was so gone 

When it comes down to love I’m a one time winner
We never really had that long coz I’m the sinner  
I told you I would make you feel good
I didn’t say I knew that I could 
 
You should have listened to your head
Instead of thinking with your heart

And I know you won’t forget about me
Not in your whole life
And I know you won’t pick off that tree
Not for the first time
And I know you don’t know what that means
But this is alright 
Coz I know you won't forget about me
Not in this life  

What were you expecting?
Did you want the whole of space?
On what were you reflecting?
When I saw you… standing in the rain.

Coz I know you won’t forget about me
Not in your whole life
And I know you won’t pick off that tree
Not for the last time
And I know you don’t know what that means
But this is alright 
Coz I know you won't forget about me
Not in this life  

This is love for the sinner
This is love for a cold dark winter
This is love for beginners
This is love that you dare not enter
This is false love

I know you won’t forget about me

Finishing Lane

False Love

SATELLITES

Building monuments to love's shattered pride                  
While confirming it through satellites
Your words they prolong my suicide
I thought that I could walk into your life
 
I watched it slip away 
Different colours, different scenes
Gotta get down before its gets too late
And chase my heart until it bleeds

Standing by the edge of the world 
l know what’s true, I know myself
And what I can’t do… is love somebody else
Standing by the edge of the world 
I don’t need truth… I don’t need words 
And what I can’t do is love somebody else

So this is permanent love likes to cry
If I’m innocent, what was my crime 
It’s only now you’re gone I’ve realised 
The lengths that I would go to for time

I watched it slip away 
Different colours, different scenes
Gotta get down before it gets too late
And shake my heart until it bleeds

Standing by the edge of the world 
l know what’s true, I know myself
And what I can’t do… is love somebody else
Standing by the edge of the world 
I don’t need proof, I don’t need words
And what I can’t do is… love somebody else

The darkest corners of a sense I never knew
To look beyond the daylight searching for the truth...

Standing by the edge of the world
My time with you has me finding words
Where have we been
Standing by the edge of the world
My life with you has left me girl
Where have we been

You're dangerous and beautiful.

GLASS HOUSE 

I’ve been throwing stones at your glass house
I called your name and watched you turn around
There’s a warm breeze and there are dark clouds
You fall on me and I watched you take me down

One of these special moments 
Where the things you least expect
Come crashing through your torment
Like a vandal in your head 

When the only thing is time
When the only place is paradise
You know that love is blind
We’ll laugh all through the night
We’ll laugh until the sunrise

You answer the phone, why don’t you talk aloud?
I’m slaying ghosts, why don’t you make a sound?
When touching my soul reach in and pull me out 
What’s gone before is what’s all around

You must know I want to be with you 
Let’s see how these things work out
You must know this is something new
Let's put aside these fears and doubts

I won’t be your hash tag, I won’t be your hurt
I won’t be a lesson, a lesson you’ve learned
You’re almost free when the sun comes out
Dancing in your glass house

DIFFERENT LIFE

Each time I see you troubled.
Each time you walk away.
Each time it’s like no other.
Each time it’s just a game.

Each time it’s falling towers.
Each time it’s more insane.
Each time we talk for hours.
Each time you are to blame.

Interstella.
Fixing me together.
Nothing lasts forever.
You’re own your own.

Don’t you ever ever 
Start fixing me together.
I bet you’ve never ever been alone.

Each time we rediscover.
Each time we feel the same. 
Each time I bring you flowers. 
Each time we’re caught in flames.

Each time that nothing matters. 
Each time it's rather lame. 
Each time that something shatters. 
Each time it's such a shame.

I’ve been stuck on you like a god damn fool.  
And you’re beautiful.
But you know what’s true is that I don’t need you. 

Don’t care about your wicked lies
Trapped there with an enormous ego
Don’t care if it don’t feel right
I am the man you have defined
That’s why I need I different life  
I need a different life

POWER SOURCE

Female of the human species, downloaded into you 
Everything beneath the sun, ten trillion noughts and ones
There are only footprints where once you walked on air
You want her, she’ll only love you when you’re there
I can see the light that shines, it’s shining on the fools
Come in from the great dark sea and walk into this room
It’s not all black and white
A nuanced sense of life

So are you just a machine?
Can you figure it out?
Are you just a machine?
Are you feeling it now?
Are you just a machine? 
Are your systems corrupt?
Are you just a machine?
Hard wired to love

You hope, you plan, you run, you kiss and stare and overcome
You open up to love, you have, you need, you touch
You walk along an empty beach and feel the sand beneath your feet
You know this is a test you think you are, you know the rest
You can decide who knows what’s in your mind
This is the power source of life

It’s now, get down and groove
The future is a different move
Gotta take the hit and let it go
Gonna take the trip and reload
It’s now, get down and groove
The future’s wearing different shoes
Gotta get a grip and tiptoe
Gotta take the hit and reload

It’s not all black and white, this is the power source of life.

WINTER

If you can’t look forward then you can’t look back 
If there’s nothing that you need then there's nothing that you had
I know we ain’t gonna make it this time
I know we won’t even make it tonight

You want her more and more and you can’t get enough
Every body knows the score and you can’t give it up

I can see beneath your skin

The wolves can have the winter... the worms can have the rain
Coz this girl won’t last forever the world goes round again
All you had to do was compromise all you had to do was wait.. 
Every time you close your eyes you’re in a different place
I can see beneath your skin

You’re living out on the edge when you’re on solid ground
You’re looking for evidence when its all around 
I know we ain’t gonna make it this time
I know we won’t even make it through the night

There’s no where winter fades
I’m standing by a sink hole 
There are no longer days
Looking out from inside the fish bowl

Out of my mind on the other side
Out of the time that I left behind
I can see beneath your skin

Winter

PERFECTION TODAY

I can see there’s love and beauty in your eyes.
I can see the dark secrets that you try to hide.
I believe in everything when you walk into the room.
I would build an empire and take you to the moon.
And when love descends beyond the barriers of time
When it all depends on if you’re dead or alive.
We’ll face the jury and the jury will decide.
We can play the music tonight…

You can crash the shutters open wide and take a look outside,
I know you’ve got something to say.
Whatever I do tonight, whatever I do in life
I know I am one step away from perfection this day.

I can see we have a future to describe.
I can see the deep respect that you’ve never tried
I can’t think of everything that I would do with you.
I will build a bonfire of all I ever knew…
And when the storm comes in over sun forbidden skies.
When it always ends with you right by my side
We will face the fury and leave fury to cry
We’ll embrace this feeling all our lives

Let’s go automatic
For the so dramatic.
Let’s go automatic.
Like a system addict.
Let’s go automatic.
For the next mad tactic.
Let’s go automatic.

You can crash the shutters open wide, take a look outside,
I wanna see you in the pouring rain.
Whatever I do tonight, whatever I do in life
I know that there is one thing I’ll say,
I met perfection today.

You can crash the shutters open wide, take a look outside,
I wanna see you in the light of day.
Whatever I do tonight, whatever I do in life
I know that there is one thing I’ll say,
I met perfection today

GOODBYE GIRL

Come on all you creeps,
Take a slice of me, tell me what you need,
Coz everything is programmed.
Get down on you knees, tell me what you see,
Everything’s for free, when all you need is romance.

When you ever look down from upon the highest place.
If I ever look around when I hear someone call your name.
When you look back on those yesterdays.
If I look around and see your face.

Come on all you freaks take a ride with me,
Go from A to B, it’s only a performance.
Take your time to breathe, whatever it may need,
Take a bullet for the team coz everything’s a slow dance.

When you ever look down from upon the highest place.
If I ever look around when I hear someone call your name.
When you look back on those yesterdays.
If I look around and see your face.

Looking at the things we’ve done there was so much love and too much pain.
And in your heart you know, the maddest thing of all, would be to do it all again.
Looking at the things we’ve done there was so much love.
In your heart you know, it’s the saddest thing.

Nothing else to say to you. Goodbye girl.
Nothing else to say to you. Goodbye girl.
Nothing you can say or do. Goodbye girl.
Nothing that would make me wanna hold on.

When you ever look down from upon the highest place.
If I ever look around when I hear someone call your name.
When you look back on those yesterdays.
If I look around and see your face.

Nothing else to say to you. Goodbye girl.
Nothing else to say to you. Goodbye girl.
Nothing you can say or do.

Square One (Part 2) Falling 

High flying paper bag
Where did all the super-heroes go
Remembering the things we had
holding on to everything we know
It’s no good with your head in your hands
There’s no where for the tormented soul
Dancing like you don’t give a damn
Waiting for the end of the show

Every time I think I’ve found it… falling like gravity
Every time I think about it,.. I’m exorcising memories
Every time I think I’ve found it… falling like gravity
And every time I think about it,.. there’s another mystery

I go backwards I go forwards
Can you handle it is it fake
Can you take this drive through world
Can you handle it will you break
I go backwards I go forwards

Flowers they need rain
Crying over things that you’ve done
There is no reason to explain
Don’t ever place your faith in love
It’s so true that this world won’t change
Summarising things that will come
Sometimes you just can’t walk away
Heading for the shade of the sun

Falling like a big tree
Falling like the enemy
Falling where the roads meet
Falling into deep sleep
Falling like a big tree
Falling like the enemy
Falling like gravity
Falling into deep sleep

Cut out in cardboard and leant up against the wall
Every time you look around somebody falls

It’s another boring morning, can’t go berserk, so frustrating.
And the stranger that comes crawling home from work, intimidating.
She’s the only one you’re holding and you are hers, complicating.
This day is like the last day...

And when the winter comes, it's changing everything including us,
You and who, behind the cool, untarnished blue, back in the groove.
And if it ain’t twisted enough without mixing it up with love and duty 
Which comes from beauty, we are giants walking alone.

We’re sold out and too far gone, we are giants walking on our own.

It’s not everyday you’re falling alone and heart, walk for ages
And then suddenly without warning you’re in reverse, intoxicating
As for all the world as lonely maybe worse its just the stages

This day will be the last day...
And when the winter comes, it’s changing everything including us
Me you behind the cool, untarnished blue, back in the groove
And if it ain’t twisted enough without mixing it up, with love and duty
Go show you’re beauty.

We’re sold out and too far gone we were giants walking alone
We’re sold out, too far gone
We are giants walking alone

Square One (Part 1) The Void 

Someones not a boy or a girl
A whisper from another realm
Someone has to make a choice
from the corner of their room and out into the void

Someones not of this earth
A soldier from a future world
Someone has a need to know
What lies beyond the green green grass of home.

Sit back and watch while the world outside your window turns
Sit back And watch while the world outside your window burns

You’ve got to be crazy
show it doesn’t hurt
When you’re all alone, when you’re almost beat
You’ve got to be able to avoid so many things
With your eyes closed

Standing at square one
The price you pay is love
Standing at square one
When all I feel is numb.

Where The Sun Doesn’t Shine

Checking out the flat earth
Checking out the universe
Checking out how this works
Checking out Copernicus

I’ve crossed this bridge for the last time
You can stick it where the sun don’t shine
And if I’m trapped in this timeline
You can stick it where the sun don’t shine

No one is listening to you
No one else has a clue
We all live in a zoo
The Trueman’s are you/ The Trueman’s that knew

So many white lies

Checking out the planet earth
Checking out the lost worlds
Checking out how this works
Checking out the Bilderbergs

How many lives have they sucked up scheming
How many times have you heard them screaming
As always, there’s always something trying to rise
Like the creeps on the streets, like the night

When everything you know and love is built upon a lie
The demonic instruments of state are sharpening their knives
Take a look around you coz it’s spinning round your head
The truth is when you see it and it’s hanging by a thread

I’ve crossed this bridge for the last time
You can stick it where the sun don’t shine
And if I’m trapped in this timeline
You can stick it where the sun doesn’t shine

Checking out the flat earth
Checking out the universe
Checking out how this works
Checking out Copernicus

Baby you can stick it where sun don’t shine

HEAVEN

Looking through a distorted lens, watching as angels cry.
You can take me out of this world, leave the past behind.
It was different then we were in black and white.
The simulation questions every state of mind.

If you think you’ve seen the sun go down. 
You’re in a big machine.
If you think you feel a sensation. 
By deceptive means.
Put out an APB. Take a look and see. Everyones been sold a dream.
If I told the world, who on earth is hearing me.
  
The story’s old, the programme ends, it stops and comes to life.
When everything that you are is nurtured by design.
We’ll go around again, two beams of light.
The silent anti-hero pushed into the night.

If you think you’ve seen the sun go down.
You’re in a big machine.
If you think you feel a sensation. 
By deceptive means.
Put out an APB. Take a look and see. Everyones been sold a dream.
If I told the world, who on earth is hearing me.
 
The liar is forgiven, the joker is a thief.  
The silent adolescent is the one who we hear speak.
It’s not what you want and it’s not what you need.
You’re hard wired to dream.

Like a brand new day  come into my life.
Sunshine.
And it looks like I’ve found heaven.
And it looks like I’ve found peace.
