"Live It Up"
 
Live it up, make the most of it
Live it up, just get over it
Live it up

Might as well just
Live it up, make the most of it
Live it up, just get over it
Live it up, might as well just stay

When the people chant the battle's on
The pressure's coming on to strong
Warning bells are ringing once again

Do your best to carry on
Seems the troubles will be gone
There's no need to worry anyway

Don't turn away, why won't you stay?

Might as well just
Live it up, make the most of it
Live it up, just get over it
Live it up, might as well just stay

When it's hard to understand
There will be no second chance
Every single minute pass the same

Don't turn away, why won't you stay?

Might as well just
Live it up, make the most of it
Live it up, just get over it
Live it up

Might as well just
Live it up, make the most of it
Live it up, just get over it
Live it up, might as well just
Live it up, live it up, yeah

Live it up, live it up
Live it up, live it up
Live it up

Chant the battles on
Pressure's coming on to strong
Warning bell are ringing once again

When it's hard to understand
There will be no second chance
Every single minute pass the same

Don't turn away, why won't you stay?

Might as well just
Live it up, make the most of it
Live it up, just get over it
Live it up

Might as well just
Live it up, make the most of it
Live it up, just get over it
Live it up, might as well just stay

"What Would You Do?"
 
I don't know enough about the things you do
I don't know enough to say I really know you
But I already fell in love with you
And if you knew what would you do?
I can tell a lot by the things you wear
I can tell you're gonna be a millionaire
But I already fell in love with you
And if you knew what would you do?
I've stopped myself from trying
I shouldn't talk to you
And now inside I'm dying
What would you do?

"Tabloid Magazine"
 
Temperamental editors
Searching for the passion
Overpaid and over-rated
Looking for a cash in
It's too late

If you want to read a little
Useless information
If you've had enough
With all the troubles with our nation
Don't wait

And you read about it
You just can't sleep without
The pages of the magazine
Don't believe in all you read
You can't trust the tabloid magazine
And I'm about to break down
It's just a tabloid magazine
And I don't wanna break down

Picture hungry journalists
Searching for some action
Running all the stories
Like it's going out of fashion
It's too late

Everybody's reading
Everybody else's problems
Everybody's busy stopping
What they haven't started
Don't wait

Don't wanna be around 'em
Better off without them
You know you can't escape them

And you read about them all the time
From the pages of the magazine
But you can't believe in all you read

Well it's too late
And you're gonna have to wait
And you won't want to turn out the light

"Who's Gonna Save Us?"
 
It's all around me and
I just don't understand
Seems all out of place now
And I know it's late
But you know what they say now

We're under attack now
Our work is all cut out
Whatever happened to your rights?
And I know it's late
But you know what they say now

So where's the writing on the wall
Who's gonna save us?
Who's gonna provide us?
Who's gonna divide us?
Who's gonna save us?

We're under powered now
Trial devoured now
Step aside make way for the new leader
And it's getting late
But you know what they say now

"End Of The World"
 
Last night I had me a dream son
The end of the world could be seen
No sign of life could I feel son
Nothing was what it had been

Black as the night, life out of sight
You can't imagine the scene

Last night I had me a dream son
The end of the world could be seen
I didn't know where to turn son
The absence of life was obscene

The end of time or just in my mind
I know that it's hard to believe

And I can almost see the end of the world
And I can almost see the end of the world
So give me a minute
And I'll put you in it
But you must never return

It could occur any day son
Just you remember and pray
You have what you love
Now love what you have
And maybe then you will last a bit longer

Black as the night, life out of sight
You can't imagine the scene

And I can almost see the end of the world
And I can almost see the end of the world
So give me a minute
And I'll put you in it
But you must never return

Last night I had a dream
The strangest that I'd ever seen
Yes you were there and you were
Telling everybody not to worry
Just let it be
Then you led me to believe
Everything happens in threes
But as you spoke then I awoke
Only to find that we'd arrived
At the end of the world

Last night I had me a dream son
The end of the world could be seen
Black as the night, life out of sight
You can't imagine the scene

And I can almost see the end of the world
And I can almost see the end of the world
So give me a minute
And I'll put you in it
But you must never return

So give me a minute
And I'll put you in it
But you must never return

"Jimmy"
 
Jimmy - what's your vote?
You don't have to repay them after all

Jimmy told of those who'd been cheated
But were never defeated
Just morally wrong

Jimmy told of those who were jaded
Their colours had faded
Like they didn't belong

And they lied - a new life they were seeking
Yes they lied - now their plans are leaking

Jimmy told of those who had made it
And others who'd paid it
But the price was wrong

Everybody's too busy fighting
To bother deciding
What has to be done

Jimmy - it seems as though it can be sold
As easy as a story
Can be told

You don't have to repay them after all

Jimmy had a dream he would make it
And he wouldn't fake it
Like the others had done

He believed in those who were jaded
Whose colours had faded
Like they didn't belong

Now we're all faded
 

"One Said To The Other"
 
[Chorus:]
One said to the other
You'll never find another
Now that you're on your own
To discover, you're livin' undercover
Now that you're on your own

She's not really bothered
By a riot in Milan
Only gets excited by the cheap shot brands
Dressed up in a number
That she got from Japan
Powdered up, confident with solarium tan

You know that she won't leave here alone
She ain't ever gonna leave here alone

[Chorus]

She's not really in touch
With the government plan
Much too busy looking
For a one night stand
You don't have to show her
Before you get to know her
She's the type who plays the fool
I don't understand

You know that she won't leave here alone
She ain't ever gonna leave here alone

[Chorus]

She ain't ever gonna leave here alone
she ain't ever gonna leave here alone

She's not really bothered
By a riot in Milan
Only gets excited by the cheap shot brands
Dressed up in a number
That she got from Japan
Powdered up, confident with solarium tan

You know that she won't leave here alone
She ain't ever gonna leave here alone
Oh, you know that she won't leave here alone
she ain't ever gonna leave here alone

[Chorus x2]

"In The End"
 
Well there's something that I really
Need to say
Have you ever wondered why the
Truth is hard to say
Why must it be this way

A broken deal
And now it's time to pay
Trying hard to understand
What happened yesterday
But it's the game we play

I see the red light signal
Calling me home the red lights are
See the red light and they're
Calling me home

The powers above us
Show that you love us
Don't take me away

In the end it's just another day
And there's no explanation
Or a plan that you can make
And you can't hide away

Well you can try and plan
Tomorrow's news today
But everything that you want
Is not gonna go your way
The end isn't far away

"Maitland Street"
 
I hear the sirens - oh no
Coming to remind me - to go
Silence is golden - I know
Until the silence - is known

And the plans were carried on
We were the victims all along
Is it true did the world stop turning
When the rain came down

When the rain came down on
Maitland Street
Would we drown in the sorrow
Of another defeat?
Will we be remembered if we
Don't get beat?
Got your head in the clouds
Your feet on the ground
Will we be remembered?
Will we be remembered?
Or lost in history
Of Maitland Street

Looking for an echo
Searchin' for somewhere to go
We found a place that we called home
But it was empty yeah
Yeah there was nobody there

And the clouds began to break
We tried to run but it was too late
Now it's done and you gotta move on
'Cause it's never gonna be the same

Doesn't anybody know?
What happened all those years ago?
Doesn't anybody know?
Is it true did the world stop turning
When the rain came down
