Sexcrime(Nineteen Eighty-Four)

Can I take this for granted
With your eyes over me?
In this place
This wintery home
I know there's always someone in

Sexcrime
Sexcrime
Nineteen eighty four

And so I face the wall
Turn my back against it all
How I wish I'd been unborn
Wish I was unliving here

Sexcrime
Sexcrime
Nineteen eighty four

I'll pull the bricks down
One by one
Leave a big hole in the wall
Just where you are looking in

For The Love Of Big Brother

Like a train passing in the distance
Like a bird in flight
I hear you call
And even though there's no one
Dark shadows move across the wall

I still hear the echoes
Of your footsteps on the stairs
Still recall the images that
Seem to live out there

Faces seem like fingerprints
Like skeletons of leaves upon the lawn
People changing places
Lasting for a moment
Then it's gone

I still hear the echoes
Of your footsteps on the stairs
Still recall the images that
Seem to live out there

Like a train passing in the distance
Like a bird in flight
I hear you call
And even though there's no one
Dark shadows move across the wall

I still hear the sound of
Conversation from the hall
Look to see who's coming
But it's nothing
And there's no one there at all
(No one there at all)

Julia

When the leaves
Turn from green to brown
And autumn shades
Come tumbling down
To leave a carpet on the ground
Where we have laid

When winter leaves her branches bare
And icy breezes chill the air
The freezing snow lies everywhere
My darling
Will we still be there?

Julia

When spring rejoices
Down the lane
And everything is new again
Will everything be
Just the same
Will we be there?

Oh Julia

I Love You Like A Ball And Chain

Well the sound of your voice on the telephone
Make me feel distressed
Make me all alone.
Why do I feel so incomplete?
When you're not here I'm just obsolete.

My bed is burnin' all through the night.
You're the only one that can make me feel right.
Try to lay down my sleepin' head
But I'm tossin' and turnin' around instead.

I love you like a ball and chain.
(Make it alright now.)
Love you like a ball and chain.
(Feels too good.)

I'm a fool I know but I'm stuck on you.
I'm a fool I know and it's makin' me blue.
There's a river of blood.
There's a river of tears
I've been wasting all these years.

Chorus repeats.

Conditioned Soul

(When will you make up your mind?)

Darling just be yourself tonight.
There's nothing wrong with the way you feel.
The moon and stars are in the sky.
We're centuries apart
And the lights are shining down on you.
(I can't stand it)

Everybody's kissing someone.
Holding hands just to get some fun.
I couldn't care less if I ever get none.
Or never fall into some lover's arms again.
(I can't stand it)
Aah... conditioned soul
When will you make up your mind?
(I can't stand it)

Aah... conditioned soul
When will you make up your mind?
(I can't stand it)

Darling don't be afraid tonight.
Something's wrong with the way you feel.
The moon and stars have all gone by.
We're centuries apart and the lights are dying.
Everybody's hurting someone.
Stabbing back just to get some fun.
I hope to God I don't get me none.
Or never fall into some killer's arms again.

When will you make up your mind?
(I can't stand it)

Adrian

Adrian - don't you understand?
Fools like us are always dreaming.
And when you go to bed
And cover up your head
It's better if you try to stop remembering.
And the world is slowly dawning
To wake up to a new clear morning.
Some of them just half your age
Get written off, page by page...

Adrian don't you understand?
Fools like us are always dreaming.
And when you go to bed
And cover up your head
It's better if you try to stop remembering.
Some of them just half your age
Get written off page by page...

And the world is softly sleeping
While your fears are in their keeping.
All the planet's making haste
To blow to bits in outer space...
Adrian - don't you understand?

Here Comes That Sinking Feeling

Have you ever heard the sound of disappointment?
It tangles your head like a winter rose.
Comes up eager and shining
And it likes to leave a scar before it goes.

Here comes that sinking feeling
(Can't keep it to myself)

Nobody hurts me like you do.
You cut into me like a poison dart.
Creep into my sleep at night.
Break into my dreams and tear them apart.

Here comes that sinking feeling.

Have you ever felt the sound of disappointment?
It pounds in your head like hammer blows.
Comes on gentle and smiling.
And it likes to leave a scar...
Here it comes again no.
Here comes that sinking feeling.

The Last Time

Well the first time that I saw you
You were standing in the rain.
You were waiting at the station
For the last connecting train.
Well - who will you go to
When there's no-one to betray?
And I said - who will you go to
When your best friend turns away?
Hey hey...

Last time you're gonna let me down.
Last time you're gonna
Fool around with me...

There's a garden full of roses,
There's a necklace full of pearls.
You have come to take the roses
To give to other girls.
Well - I am just a pretty thing
You wanted for a day.
There is nothing left between us
There is nothing left to say...
Hey hey...

People like you
Can be so mean.
People like you
Just don't come clean.

(Chorus repeats...)

Let's Go!

He was the kinda guy
I liked the way he looked.
He had a red silk tie -
He had a forties suit.
And I said - "You're the kind of person
I've been longing to adore."
"You're the kind of person
I've been waiting for."
He said - "The time is right to take a chance
'Cause I'm looking for a brand new romance."
"So come on baby let's go outside -
I've got a car in the drive and we can take a ride."

"So let's go - I wanna fall in love ooh hoo."
"Let's go - I wanna fall in love ooh hoo."

Well - we went driving for an hour or so
Till we took the little Chevy down to Mexico.
And I said - "Blue eyed boy, you know I love the way you look."
"Why don't we find a preacher
Who can get us hooked?"
"You know the time is right to take a chance
'Cause I'm looking for a brand new romance."
And the great big moon
Was a shinin' down
He said "Forget about the preacher man,
Let's do it on the ground!"

"Let's go - I wanna fall in love ooh hoo."
"Let's go - I wanna fall in love ooh hoo."
