CHANGE YOUR NAME

Eye on the skies but keep in mind your heart is wide open,
now that the sparks escape through the same crack the rain do.
Undetected by satellites, we'll see what the stars say.
In need of a new heart, new dream.
Lover, oh where have you been?
Eye on the stars but keep in mind your heart is wide open…

(Chorus)
Life's not going well so change your name.
No one's gonna tell or feel your pain.
It’d be so nice just to start again, start again.
It's so easy loving when you're free.
Watch the leaders as they follow me.
Undetected by the fools, you'll see.
Start again..

Sleep.. all you give his misery. This sad life astounds me.
Nothing to lose but enemies. I stagger without her.
Undetected by satellites. We'll see what the stars say.
In need of a new heart, new skin.
Lover oh where have you been?
Sleep all you give his misery. I stagger without you.

(Chorus)
Life's not going well so change your name.
No one's gonna tell or feel your pain.
It’d be so nice just to start again, start again.
It's so easy loving when you're free.
Watch the legends as they follow me.
Undetected by the fools, you'll see.
Start again..

(Chorus)

wouldn't it be nice to start again..

Godflesh "F.O.D. (Fuck of Death)" (Original by Slaughter) (dB035)

She lives on Television Street
You know what happens there when no one else is watching..
Her shadow growing so petite.
Something to see when all the hope has turned to caution.

(chorus)
Who knows what happens in her sleep.
You know this girl is growing indiscreet.
When all the world’s forgotten you..
No one to see and nothing left to do.

(verse 2)
She dies on Television street.
This world's forgotten her, there’s nothing left to argue.
But she kept her cupboards oh so neat.
Yet she knows everything, you’re so impressed now aren’t you?

(chorus)
Who knows what happens in her sleep.
You know this girl is growing indiscreet.
When all the world’s forgotten to you..
No one to see and nothing left...to do.

TELEVISION STREET

...Ï HAVE

I see a little 
 money in the middle
but I’m so unfit to
 take it all.
But there in the window. 
The lovely, lovely window
I can’t believe a single
 star will fall.

-chorus-
Have you heard her singing when she’s all alone,
all those faded songs of love? 
..well I have.
Have you seen her dark side? 
 ..I have.

There’s rain in my teacup.
 The moon’s keeping me up.
Waiting here for you in
 my backyard.
I'm going out to find her.
 I know where to find her.
Our secret little place that’s
 not too far.

-chorus-
Have you heard singing when she’s all alone,
..all those faded songs of love?
Have you heard her humming like a little girl,
all those sad, sad, songs of love?
 ..well I have.
Have you seen her dark side?
 ..I have.
Have you felt her shark bite?
 ..I have.

No doubts or misgivings won’t stop me from living.

-chorus-
Have you heard her humming like a little girl,
all those sad, sad, songs of love?
 ..well I have
Have you seen her dark side?
 ..I have.
Have you felt her shark bite?
 ..I have.

No doubts or misgivings won’t stop me from living..

I HAVE

DEAR JEAN

Dear Jean, 
I hope you feel better.
I’m losing those things that made you cry.
I work hard, harder than ever to love her for herself. 
Now I understand why.

Tell me. My heart fears your letter.
Whisper so I may be at peace.
I’m low, a tramp of the river.
Tip on my side, swim for the sea.

(chorus)
The heart of the river somehow she sings out to me.
She makes this dull fellow quiver heavenly.
Sing out to me!

Careful now, don’t spill the time.
The future can’t make up it’s mind.
Never clear, ever divine.

In time I will do better.
Or am I a good man gone wrong?
Oh Jean try to remember.
Divine girl will we ever pass a night alone?


(chorus)
The heart of the river somehow she sings out to me.
She makes this dull fellow quiver heavenly.
Sing out to me!

Careful now, don’t spill the time.
The future has make up it’s mind.
Never clear, ever divine.

Dear Jean, I hope you feel better.
I’m losing those things that made you cry..

THE GIRL WITH THE GUN (Run Killer Run)


Run killer run killer run killer run away with me.
Run killer run killer run killer run away with me.

The dream you’re dreaming now
here in bed she dreams aloud.
Her soul flying through the air.
Stop and wonder why this landscape has no sins or lies.
Dreams grow on trees to be set free. 
Dreams grow on trees..

-Chorus-
Run killer run killer run killer run away with me.
Run to the girl with the gun,
She’s a girl with a dream you’ll see any thing goes.
It can never go too far..
From here to Zanzibar.
It’s all those young things born without wings
out looking for their star.


“Unlock what’s in your head” she said.
“ If love is lost and underfed
 then dreams grow on trees to be set free."

-Chorus-
Run killer run killer run killer run away with me.
Run to the girl with the gun,
She’s a girl with a dream you’ll see any thing goes.
You can never go too far..
From here to Zanzibar.
It’s all those young things born without wings
out looking for their star.

Run killer run killer run killer run away with me.
Run killer run killer run killer run away with me.

A girl with a gun is a girl with a dream
A girl with a gun is a girl with a dream

THE GIRL WITH THE GUN (RUN KILLER RUN)

SHY STAR


My beautiful thing come over.
You sleep on a sea of star white clover,
In your harrowing room with a motel gloom.
I got a sign from you saying
‘It’s never too late. Don’t make the world wait’
After the song can you get things done?

Honestly, delusion follows me.
Sun till moon oh I’ll forever be

(chorus)
Shy star, not so popular, the world’s not meant for thee.
Shy star, not so popular. Don’t take your eyes off me. 

Am I the moth or the flame?
I thought I heard someone call my name.
Fall to your arms or my knees. Which will it be?
A brighter sun overdue.
Sitting on a crayon moon without you.
I’d settle for a dream somewhere in-between.

Honestly, delusion follows me.
Sun till moon oh I’ll forever be

(chorus)
Shy star, not so popular, the world’s not meant for thee.
Shy star, not so popular, don’t take your eyes off me
Don’t take your eyes off me..

Speaking well and speaking wisely
but understanding nothing.
Where’s the love song lost inside you?

(chorus)
Shy star, not so popular, the world’s not meant for thee.
Shy star, not so popular. Don’t take your eyes off me.
Don’t take your eyes off me.
Don’t take your eyes off me..

LILY'S GARDEN


The rain is filled with song. Her laugh becomes the music here.
My heart is beating young and suddenly there's no more fear.
The light from August stars spiraling inside my car.
We didn't have a care…
So just forget the world outside, turn out the light and hold me here.

(Chorus)
0oo I want Lily's garden in rain.
Moon eyes are Lily's charm through this game.

Soon we'll call it fate and laugh about the things we do.
No money, power, fame can simplify this rain filled moon.
We're lost in falling stars, the sins and scars of who we are,
inside my car…  
So just forget the world outside, turn out the light and hold me here…

(Chorus)
0oo I want Lily's garden in rain.
Who's eyes win Lily's arms in this game?
Moon eyes are Lily's charm through all of this pain.

That's all I wanted anyway.
Her lovely grace through these troubled times.
Your tears I'll never give away…

These are longer days without her lonely laughter.
I heard somebody say: "..dreams are all that matter".

(Chorus)
0oo I want Lily's garden in rain.
Moon eyes are Lily's charm through this game.
0oo I want Lily's garden in rain.

LILY'S GARDEN

LOVE LEFT TOWN


(intro)
I drank her mind and she drank mine
Her kiss defining me.
Then morning comes when love left town…

Another sin too close to win
the psycho in my mind.
I got one taste for her both sides
when love runs out of time.
Yes love runs out of time..


(verse 1)
Love, love left town.
I feel buried alive. Six feet underground.
Love steals away the highlights,
smothering the twilight. Sun seems to dissolve..

(chorus)
I won’t regret all the love that we left here.
I won’t pretend to be anyone else when love runs out of time.

(verse 2)
Love, love left town.
Your words took me somewhere. Now they don’t make a sound.
Love.. no sunshine coming through me.
Ruby turns all bluesy. I’ll see you around..

(chorus)

(bridge)
The morning that love left town,
beginning to see the light..
Did we really love, was it really love
Can you see the light?  yeah

When love left town.
Sunshine coming through me. Bluesy turns all ruby.
I’ll see you around, 
I’ll see you around..
I’ll see you around….

LOVE LEFT TOWN

1.
Let's bounce away from here.
I nicked a Mercedes, dear.
I make a fall from grace for you to make this world disappear.
We'll leave this town and take our chances.
Their world sleeps, our world advances now.

2.
I took all the money home.
Police will be here at dawn.
Give me a night of psilocybin sex and then we're gone!
My kiss attacks with new precision.
She's music and her sex religion..

(chorus)
Money at our fingertips, we're on the run.
Baby, let's play 'fugitive', now while we're young..
Driving these criminal roads.. it's suicide.
Bulletproof heart and soul ..we're still alive!

3.
I'll buy her the dark tonight.
As long as we're out of sight.
They'll never find us to divide us into black and white.
On Devils road there's no returning.
We're thieves and liars and lovers burning..

Money at our fingertips we're on the run, on the run.
Baby, let's play fugitives, now while we're young.
Driving these criminal roads.. it's suicide.
Bulletproof heart and soul ..we're still alive!

(chorus)

We took all the money. Police will be here at dawn..
